Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other periodic reports filed by Regions Financial Corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf to analysts, investors, the media and others, may include forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The terms “Regions,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” as used herein mean collectively Regions Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries when or where appropriate. The words “future,” “anticipates,” “assumes,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “objectives,” “estimates,” “expects,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “would,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” “can,” and similar terms and expressions often signify forward-looking statements . Further, statements about the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our businesses, operations, and financial results and conditions may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic (including any resurgences), actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic and their success, the effectiveness and acceptance of any vaccines, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, third parties and us. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical information, but rather are related to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations as well as certain assumptions and estimates made by, and information available to, management at the time the statements are made. Those statements are based on general assumptions and are subject to various risks, and because they also relate to the future they are likewise subject to inherent uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the views, beliefs and projections expressed in such statements. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those described below:
• Current and future economic and market conditions in the United States generally or in the communities we serve (in particular the Southeastern United States), including the effects of possible declines in property values, increases in unemployment rates, financial market disruptions and potential reductions of economic growth, which may adversely affect our lending and other businesses and our financial results and conditions.
• Possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies of, and other activities undertaken by, governments, agencies, central banks and similar organizations, which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings.
• Possible changes in market interest rates or capital markets could adversely affect our revenue and expense, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity.
• The impact of pandemics, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, on our businesses, operations, and financial results and conditions. The duration and severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted the global economy, has and could continue to adversely affect our capital and liquidity position, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans and increase our allowance for credit losses, impair collateral values, and result in lost revenue or additional expenses. The pandemic could also result in goodwill impairment charges and the impairment of other financial and nonfinancial assets, and increase our cost of capital.
• Any impairment of our goodwill or other intangibles, any repricing of assets, or any adjustment of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets due to changes in tax law, adverse changes in the economic environment, declining operations of the reporting unit or other factors.
• The effect of new tax legislation and/or interpretation of existing tax law, which may impact our earnings, capital ratios, and our ability to return capital to shareholders.
• Possible changes in the creditworthiness of customers and the possible impairment of the collectability of loans and leases, including operating leases.
• Changes in the speed of loan prepayments, loan origination and sale volumes, charge-offs, credit loss provisions or actual credit losses where our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover our eventual losses.
• Possible acceleration of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to low interest rates, and the related acceleration of premium amortization on those securities.
• Loss of customer checking and savings account deposits as customers pursue other, higher-yield investments, which could increase our funding costs.
• Possible changes in consumer and business spending and saving habits and the related effect on our ability to increase assets and to attract deposits, which could adversely affect our net income.
• Our ability to effectively compete with other traditional and non-traditional financial services companies, including fintechs, some of whom possess greater financial resources than we do or are subject to different regulatory standards than we are.

• Our inability to develop and gain acceptance from current and prospective customers for new products and services and the enhancement of existing products and services to meet customers’ needs and respond to emerging technological trends in a timely manner could have a negative impact on our revenue.
• Our inability to keep pace with technological changes, including those related to the offering of digital banking and financial services, could result in losing business to competitors.
• Changes in laws and regulations affecting our businesses, including legislation and regulations relating to bank products and services, as well as changes in the enforcement and interpretation of such laws and regulations by applicable governmental and self-regulatory agencies, including as a result of the recent change in U.S. presidential administration and control of the U.S. Congress, which could require us to change certain business practices, increase compliance risk, reduce our revenue, impose additional costs on us, or otherwise negatively affect our businesses.
• Our capital actions, including dividend payments, common stock repurchases, or redemptions of preferred stock or other regulatory capital instruments, must not cause us to fall below minimum capital ratio requirements, with applicable buffers taken into account, and must comply with other requirements and restrictions under law or imposed by our regulators, which may impact our ability to return capital to shareholders.
• Our ability to comply with stress testing and capital planning requirements (as part of the CCAR process or otherwise) may continue to require a significant investment of our managerial resources due to the importance of such tests and requirements.
• Our ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements (including, among other things, the Basel III capital standards), including our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms, and if we fail to meet requirements, our financial condition and market perceptions of us could be negatively impacted.
• The effects of any developments, changes or actions relating to any litigation or regulatory proceedings brought against us or any of our subsidiaries.
• The costs, including possibly incurring fines, penalties, or other negative effects (including reputational harm) of any adverse judicial, administrative, or arbitral rulings or proceedings, regulatory enforcement actions, or other legal actions to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party, and which may adversely affect our results.

• The risks and uncertainties related to our acquisition or divestiture of businesses, including our recently completed acquisition of EnerBank and risks related to such acquisition, including that the expected synergies, cost savings and other financial or other benefits may not be realized within the expected timeframes, or might be less than projected; difficulties in integrating the business; and the inability of Regions to effectively cross-sell products to EnerBank’s customers; as well as our pending acquisition of Sabal and risks related to such acquisition, including delays in closing the transaction; that the expected synergies, cost savings, and other financial or other benefits of the transaction might not be realized within the expected timeframes, or might be less than projected; and difficulties in integrating Sabal’s business.
• The success of our marketing efforts in attracting and retaining customers.

• Fraud or misconduct by our customers, employees or business partners.
• Any inaccurate or incomplete information provided to us by our customers or counterparties.
• Inability of our framework to manage risks associated with our businesses, such as credit risk and operational risk, including third-party vendors and other service providers, which could, among other things, result in a breach of operating or security systems as a result of a cyber attack or similar act or failure to deliver our services effectively.
• Dependence on key suppliers or vendors to obtain equipment and other supplies for our businesses on acceptable terms.

• The effects of man-made and natural disasters, including fires, floods, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, and environmental damage (specifically in the Southeastern United States), which may negatively affect our operations and/or our loan portfolios and increase our cost of conducting business. The severity and impact of future earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, floods and other weather-related events are difficult to predict and may be exacerbated by global climate change.
• Changes in commodity market prices and conditions could adversely affect the cash flows of our borrowers operating in industries that are impacted by changes in commodity prices (including businesses indirectly impacted by commodities prices such as businesses that transport commodities or manufacture equipment used in the production of commodities), which could impair their ability to service any loans outstanding to them and/or reduce demand for loans in those industries.
• Our ability to identify and address cyber-security risks such as data security breaches, malware, ransomware, “denial of service” attacks, “hacking” and identity theft, including account take-overs, a failure of which could disrupt our businesses and result in the disclosure of and/or misuse or misappropriation of confidential or proprietary information, disruption or damage to our systems, increased costs, losses, or adverse effects to our reputation.
• Our ability to achieve our expense management initiatives.
• Market replacement of LIBOR and the related effect on our LIBOR-based financial products and contracts, including, but not limited to, derivative products, debt obligations, deposits, investments, and loans.
• Possible downgrades in our credit ratings or outlook could, among other negative impacts, increase the costs of funding from capital markets.
• The effects of a possible downgrade in the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating or outlook, which could result in risks to us and general economic conditions that we are not able to predict.
• The effects of problems encountered by other financial institutions that adversely affect us or the banking industry generally could require us to change certain business practices, reduce our revenue, impose additional costs on us, or otherwise negatively affect our businesses.
• The effects of the failure of any component of our business infrastructure provided by a third party could disrupt our businesses, result in the disclosure of and/or misuse of confidential information or proprietary information, increase our costs, negatively affect our reputation, and cause losses.
• Our ability to receive dividends from our subsidiaries, in particular Regions Bank, could affect our liquidity and ability to pay dividends to shareholders.
• Changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the FASB or other regulatory agencies could materially affect our financial statements and how we report those results, and expectations and preliminary analyses relating to how such changes will affect our financial results could prove incorrect.
• Other risks identified from time to time in reports that we file with the SEC.
• Fluctuations in the price of our common stock and inability to complete stock repurchases in the time frame and/or on the terms anticipated.
• The effects of any damage to our reputation resulting from developments related to any of the items identified above.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all of them. We assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements that are made from time to time, either as a result of future developments, new information or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

The number of individual debt positions in an unrealized loss position in the tables above increased from 129 at December 31, 2020, to 337 at September 30, 2021. The increase in the number of securities and the total amount of unrealized losses from year-end 2020 was primarily due to changes in market interest rates. In instances where an unrealized loss existed, there was no indication of an adverse change in credit on the underlying positions in the tables above. As it relates to these positions, management believes no individual unrealized loss represented credit impairment as of those dates. The Company does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the positions before the recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.
Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of debt securities available for sale were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. As part of the Company's normal process for evaluating impairment, management did not identify any positions where impairment was believed to exist in either of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020.
NOTE 3. LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, Regions purchased approximately $ 986 million and $ 1.3 billion in indirect-other consumer, residential first mortgage and commercial and industrial loans from third parties, respectively.
At September 30, 2021, $ 16.2 billion in securities and net eligible loans held by Regions were pledged for potential borrowings from the FHLB. At September 30, 2021, an additional $ 12.8 billion in net eligible loans held by Regions were pledged to the FRB for potential borrowings.

Table of Contents

Included in the commercial and industrial loan balance are sales-type and direct financing leases totaling $ 1.2 billion as of September 30, 2021, with related income of $ 45 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Regions determines the appropriate level of the allowance on a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for a description of the methodology.
As of September 30, 2021, Regions' total loans included $ 1.5 billion of PPP loans. These loans are guaranteed by the Federal government and as the guarantee is not separable from the loans, Regions recorded an immaterial allowance on these loans.
ROLLFORWARD OF ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Regions decreased the allowance by $ 794 million to $ 1.5 billion, which represents management's best estimate of expected losses over the life of the portfolio. The decrease was due primarily to continued improvement in the economic outlook and strong credit trends. While the allowance estimate reflects these benefits, elevated levels of imprecision remain due to continued uncertainty regarding the timing of full economic recovery.
Macroeconomic factors utilized in the CECL loss models include, but are not limited to, unemployment rate, GDP, HPI and the S&P 500 index, with unemployment being the most significant macroeconomic factor. Regions' models are sensitive to changes in the economic scenarios. The September 30, 2021 economic forecast was relatively consistent with the June 2021 forecast with the exception of the HPI and S&P 500 index which had increases during the quarter. Risks to the economic forecast and the model limitations are considered through model adjustments and the qualitative framework.
The following tables present analyses of the allowance by portfolio segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

PORTFOLIO SEGMENT RISK FACTORS
Regions’ portfolio segments are commercial, investor real estate and consumer. Classes within each segment present unique credit risks. Refer to Note 6 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for information regarding Regions’ portfolio segments and related classes, as well as the risks specific to each.
CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS
The commercial and investor real estate portfolio segments’ primary credit quality indicator is internal risk ratings which are detailed by categories related to underlying credit quality and probability of default. Regions assigns these risk ratings at loan origination and reviews the relationship utilizing a risk-based approach on, at minimum, an annual basis or at any time management becomes aware of information affecting the borrowers' ability to fulfill their obligations. Both quantitative and qualitative factors are considered in this review process. Regions' ratings are aligned to federal banking regulators’ definitions and are utilized to develop the associated allowance. Refer to Note 6 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for information regarding commercial risk ratings.
Regions' consumer portfolio segment has various classes that present unique credit risks. Regions considers factors such as periodic updates of FICO scores, accrual status, days past due status, unemployment rates, home prices and geography as credit quality indicators for the consumer loan portfolio. FICO scores are obtained at origination as part of Regions' formal underwriting process. Refreshed FICO scores are obtained by the Company quarterly for all consumer loans, including

Table of Contents

residential first mortgage loans. Current FICO data is not available for certain loans in the portfolio for various reasons; for example, if customers do not use sufficient credit, an updated score may not be available. These categories are utilized to develop the associated allowance for credit losses. The higher the FICO score the less probability of default and vice versa.
The following tables present applicable credit quality indicators for the loan portfolio segments and classes, excluding loans held for sale, by vintage year as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Classes in the commercial and investor real estate portfolio segments are disclosed by risk rating. Classes in the consumer portfolio segment are disclosed by current FICO scores. Refer to Note 6 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for more information regarding Regions' credit quality indicators.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS
Regions regularly modifies commercial and investor real estate loans in order to facilitate a workout strategy. Similarly, Regions works to meet the individual needs of consumer borrowers to stem foreclosure through its CAP. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 6 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information regarding the Company's TDRs, including their impact on the allowance and designation of TDRs in periods subsequent to the modification.
As provided in the Consolidated Appropriations Act passed into law on December 27, 2020, which extended initial guidance provided in the CARES Act, certain loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic beginning March 1, 2020 through the earlier of 60 days after the end of the pandemic or January 1, 2022 are eligible for relief from TDR classification. Regions elected this provision; therefore, modified loans that met the required guidelines for relief are not considered TDRs and are excluded from the disclosures below. The Consolidated Appropriations Act relief and short-term nature of most COVID-19 deferrals precluded the majority of Regions' COVID-19 loan modifications from being classified as TDRs as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

NOTE 4. SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES
The fair value of residential MSRs is calculated using various assumptions including future cash flows, market discount rates, expected prepayment rates, servicing costs and other factors. A significant change in prepayments of mortgages in the servicing portfolio could result in significant changes in the valuation adjustments, thus creating potential volatility in the carrying amount of residential MSRs. The Company compares fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data where available, and also considers recent market activity and actual portfolio experience.
The table below presents an analysis of residential MSRs under the fair value measurement method:
Three Months Ended September 30 Nine Months Ended September 30
2021 2020 2021 2020
(In millions)
Carrying value, beginning of period $ 392 $ 249 $ 296 $ 345
Additions 39 32 116 67
Increase (decrease) in fair value:
Due to change in valuation inputs or assumptions ( 3 ) — 49 ( 94 )
Economic amortization associated with borrower repayments (1)
( 18 ) ( 14 ) ( 51 ) ( 51 )
Carrying value, end of period $ 410 $ 267 $ 410 $ 267
________
(1) "Economic amortization associated with borrower repayments" includes both total loan payoffs as well as partial paydowns. Regions' MSR decay methodology is a discounted net cash flow approach.

In the nine months ended 2021 and 2020, the Company purchased the rights to service residential mortgage loans on a flow basis for approximately $ 58 million and $ 35 million, respectively.
Data and assumptions used in the fair value calculation, as well as the valuation’s sensitivity to rate fluctuations, related to residential MSRs (excluding related derivative instruments) are as follows:
September 30
2021 2020
(Dollars in millions)
Unpaid principal balance $ 36,370 $ 33,740
Weighted-average CPR (%) 10.3 % 16.3 %
Estimated impact on fair value of a 10% increase $ ( 30 ) $ ( 22 )
Estimated impact on fair value of a 20% increase $ ( 53 ) $ ( 40 )
Option-adjusted spread (basis points) 530 621
Estimated impact on fair value of a 10% increase $ ( 9 ) $ ( 6 )
Estimated impact on fair value of a 20% increase $ ( 18 ) $ ( 12 )
Weighted-average coupon interest rate 3.6 % 4.0 %
Weighted-average remaining maturity (months) 294 283
Weighted-average servicing fee (basis points) 27.3 27.4
The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the residential MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption, while in reality changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may either magnify or counteract the effect of the change. The derivative instruments utilized by Regions would serve to reduce the estimated impacts to fair value included in the table above.

Table of Contents

The following table presents servicing related fees, which includes contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and other ancillary income resulting from the servicing of residential mortgage loans:

Servicing related fees and other ancillary income $ 26 $ 23 $ 75 $ 71
Residential mortgage loans are sold in the secondary market with standard representations and warranties regarding certain characteristics such as the quality of the loan, the absence of fraud, the eligibility of the loan for sale and the future servicing associated with the loan. Regions may be required to repurchase these loans at par, or make-whole or indemnify the purchasers for losses incurred when representations and warranties are breached.
Regions maintains an immaterial repurchase liability related to residential mortgage loans sold with representations and warranty provisions. This repurchase liability is reported in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and reflects management’s estimate of losses based on historical repurchase and loss trends, as well as other factors that may result in anticipated losses different from historical loss trends. Adjustments to this reserve are recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.
COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES
Regions is an approved DUS lender. The DUS program provides liquidity to the multi-family housing market. In connection with the DUS program, Regions services commercial mortgage loans, retains commercial MSRs and intangible assets associated with the DUS license, and assumes a loss share guarantee associated with the loans. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. Also see Note 11 for additional information.

Regions was not required to participate in the 2021 CCAR; the Company chose to participate in part to have the Federal Reserve re-evaluate Regions' SCB. Regions received the results of the voluntary test on June 28, 2021. The Federal Reserve communicated that the Company exceeded all minimum capital levels under the Federal Reserve's Supervisory Stress Test. Effective October 1, 2021, Regions' preliminary SCB requirement for the fourth quarter of 2021 through the third quarter of 2022 will be floored at 2.5 percent.

As part of the Company's capital plan, on April 21, 2021, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $ 2.5 billion of the Company's common stock, permitting purchases from the second quarter of 2021 through the first quarter of 2022. In the second quarter of 2021, Regions repurchased approximately 8.0 million shares of common stock under this plan which reduced shareholders' equity by $ 167 million. Included in these share repurchases were approximately 1.0 million shares that were repurchased as part of the amendment to the Company’s deferred investment plan for its directors. All of these shares were immediately retired upon repurchase and therefore, were not be included in treasury stock. The Company did not repurchase shares in either the first or third quarters of 2021 or throughout 2020.
During the third quarter of 2020, the Federal Reserve mandated that banks must not increase their quarterly per share common dividend and implemented an earnings-based payout restriction in connection with the supervisory stress test, requiring the third quarter 2020 dividend to not exceed the average of the prior four quarters of net income excluding preferred dividends. This mandate was subsequently extended through the second quarter of 2021, but was lifted in the third quarter of 2021. The Board approved a common stock increase to $ 0.17 per share for the third quarter of 2021. Prior to the common stock increase, Regions declared $ 0.155 per share in dividends for both the first six months of 2021 and the first nine months of 2020. Therefore, Regions declared a total of $ 0.48 per common share for the first nine months of 2021 compared to a total of $ 0.465 per common share for the first nine months of 2020.

(2) Includes accrued interest of $ 12 million at September 30, 2021 and $ 28 million at December 31, 2020, respectively.
(3) Includes accrued interest of $ 9 million at September 30, 2021 and $ 12 million at December 31, 2020, respectively .
(4) Estimated fair value includes premium of approximately $ 41 million as of September 30, 2021 and $ 83 million as of December 31, 2020 to be amortized over the remaining life. Approximately $ 32 million of the decrease since December 31, 2020 related to hedges that were terminated during the first nine months of 2021 and were not amortized into earnings as of the date of termination.
(5) Netting adjustments represent amounts recorded to convert derivative assets and derivative liabilities from a gross basis to a net basis in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The net basis takes into account the impact of cash collateral received or posted, legally enforceable master netting agreements, and variation margin that allow Regions to settle derivative contracts with the counterparty on a net basis and to offset the net position with the related cash collateral.
(6) The gain amounts, which are not collateralized with cash or other assets or reserved for, represent the net credit risk on all trading and other derivative positions.

HEDGING DERIVATIVES
Derivatives entered into to manage interest rate risk and facilitate asset/liability management strategies are designated as hedging derivatives. Derivative financial instruments that qualify in a hedging relationship are classified, based on the exposure being hedged, as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for additional information regarding accounting policies for derivatives.
FAIR VALUE HEDGES
Fair value hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the change in fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment.
Regions enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on the Company’s fixed-rate borrowings. These agreements involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts in exchange for floating-rate interest payments over the life of the agreements. Regions enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on certain of the Company's fixed-rate available for sale debt securities. These agreements involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts in exchange for floating-rate interest receipts.

CASH FLOW HEDGES
Cash flow hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the variability of future cash flows or other forecasted transactions.
Regions enters into interest rate swap and floor agreements to manage overall cash flow changes related to interest rate risk exposure on LIBOR-based loans. The agreements effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by utilizing receive fixed/pay LIBOR interest rate swaps and interest rate floors. As of September 30, 2021, Regions is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions through 2025.

The Company monitors and manages the net risk in this customer portfolio and enters into separate derivative contracts in order to reduce the overall exposure to pre-defined limits. For both derivatives with its end customers and derivatives Regions enters into to mitigate the risk in this portfolio, the Company is subject to market risk and the risk that the counterparty will default. The contracts in this portfolio are not designated as accounting hedges and are marked-to-market through earnings (in capital markets fee income) and included in other assets and other liabilities, as appropriate.
Regions enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Regions had $ 695 million and $ 924 million, respectively, in total notional amount of interest rate lock commitments. Regions manages market risk on interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale with corresponding forward sale commitments. Residential mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in mortgage income. Commercial mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at either the lower of cost or market or at fair value based on management's election. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Regions had $ 1.4 billion and $ 1.9 billion, respectively, in total notional amounts related to these forward sale commitments. Changes in mark-to-market from both interest rate lock commitments and corresponding forward sale commitments related to residential mortgage loans are included in mortgage income. Changes in mark-to-market from both interest rate lock commitments and corresponding forward sale commitments related to commercial mortgage loans are included in capital markets income.
Regions has elected to account for residential MSRs at fair value with any changes to fair value recorded in mortgage income. Concurrent with the election to use the fair value measurement method, Regions began using various derivative instruments in the form of forward rate commitments, futures contracts, swaps and swaptions to mitigate the effect of changes in the fair value of its residential MSRs in its consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total notional amount related to these contracts was $ 4.3 billion and $ 4.1 billion, respectively.

CREDIT DERIVATIVES
Regions has both bought and sold credit protection in the form of participations on interest rate swaps (swap participations). These swap participations, which meet the definition of credit derivatives, were entered into in the ordinary course of business to serve the credit needs of customers. Swap participations, whereby Regions has purchased credit protection, entitle Regions to receive a payment from the counterparty if the customer fails to make payment on any amounts due to Regions upon early termination of the swap transaction and have maturities between 2022 and 2029. Swap participations, whereby Regions has sold credit protection have maturities between 2021 and 2038. For contracts where Regions sold credit protection, Regions would be required to make payment to the counterparty if the customer fails to make payment on any amounts due to the counterparty upon early termination of the swap transaction. Regions bases the current status of the prepayment/performance risk on bought and sold credit derivatives on recently issued internal risk ratings consistent with the risk management practices of unfunded commitments.
Regions’ maximum potential amount of future payments under these contracts as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $ 476 million. This scenario occurs if variable interest rates were at zero percent and all counterparties defaulted with zero recovery. The fair value of sold protection at September 30, 2021 and 2020 was immaterial. In transactions where Regions has sold credit protection, recourse to collateral associated with the original swap transaction is available to offset some or all of Regions’ obligation.
Regions has bought credit protection in the form of credit default indices. These indices, which meet the definition of credit derivatives, were entered into in the ordinary course of business to economically hedge credit spread risk in commercial mortgage loans held for sale whereby the fair value option has been elected. Credit derivatives, whereby Regions has purchased credit protection, entitle Regions to receive a payment from the counterparty if losses on the underlying index exceed a certain threshold, dependent upon the tranche rating of the capital structure.
CONTINGENT FEATURES
Certain of Regions’ derivative instrument contracts with broker-dealers contain credit-related termination provisions and/or credit-related provisions regarding the posting of collateral, allowing those broker-dealers to terminate the contracts in the event that Regions’ and/or Regions Bank’s credit ratings falls below specified ratings from certain major credit rating agencies. The aggregate fair values of all derivative instruments with any credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were $ 109 million and $ 74 million, respectively, for which Regions had posted collateral of $ 108 million and $ 74 million, respectively, in the normal course of business.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a description of valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value rarely transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. Marketable equity securities and debt securities available for sale may be periodically transferred to or from Level 3 valuation based on management’s conclusion regarding the observability of inputs used in valuing the securities. Such transfers are accounted for as if they occur at the beginning of a reporting period.
The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis:

Assets and liabilities in all levels could result in volatile and material price fluctuations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 assets represent only a portion of the risk to market fluctuations in Regions’ consolidated balance sheets. Further, derivatives included in Levels 2 and 3 are used by ALCO in a holistic approach to managing price fluctuation risks.
The following tables illustrate rollforwards for residential mortgage servicing rights, which are the only material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Table of Contents

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of residential MSRs are OAS and CPR. This valuation requires generating cash flow projections over multiple interest rate scenarios and discounting those cash flows at a risk-adjusted rate. Additionally, the impact of prepayments and changes in the OAS are based on a variety of underlying inputs including servicing costs. Increases or decreases to the underlying cash flow inputs will have a corresponding impact on the value of the MSR asset. The net change in unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings related to MSRs held at period end are disclosed as the changes in valuation inputs or assumptions included in the MSR rollforward table in Note 4.
FAIR VALUE OPTION
Regions has elected the fair value option for all eligible agency residential mortgage loans and certain commercial loans originated with the intent to sell. These elections allow for a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. Regions has not elected the fair value option for other loans held for sale primarily because they are not economically hedged using derivative instruments. Fair values of residential first mortgage loans held for sale are based on traded market prices of similar assets where available and/or discounted cash flows at market interest rates, adjusted for securitization activities that include servicing values and market conditions, and are recorded in loans held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company also elected to measure certain commercial loans held for sale at fair value, as these loans are actively traded in the secondary market. The Company is able to obtain fair value estimates for substantially all of these loans through a third party valuation service that is broadly used by market participants. While most of the loans are traded in the market, the volume and level of trading activity is subject to variability and the loans are not exchange-traded. The balance of commercial loans held for sale was immaterial at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The following table summarizes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for residential first mortgage loans held for sale measured at fair value:

Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recognized based on contractual rates and is reflected in interest income on loans held for sale in the consolidated statements of income. The following table details net gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of these loans, which were recorded in mortgage income in the consolidated statements of income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. These changes in fair value are mostly offset by economic hedging activities. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

NOTE 10. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Each of Regions’ reportable segments is a strategic business unit that serves specific needs of Regions’ customers based on the products and services provided. The segments are based on the manner in which management views the financial performance of the business. The Company has three reportable segments: Corporate Bank, Consumer Bank, and Wealth Management, with the remainder in Other. Additional information about the Company's reportable segments is included in Regions' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The application and development of management reporting methodologies is a dynamic process and is subject to periodic enhancements. As these enhancements are made, financial results presented by each reportable segment may be periodically revised. Accordingly, the prior period was updated to reflect these enhancements. In the first quarter of 2021, the net interest income allocation methodology was enhanced. All net interest income including the FTP offset, activities of the treasury function, securities portfolio and interest rate risk activities is allocated to the three reporting segments.
The following tables present financial information for each reportable segment for the period indicated.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES
COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS
Regions issues off-balance sheet financial instruments in connection with lending activities. The credit risk associated with these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is subject to Regions’ normal credit approval policies and procedures. Regions measures inherent risk associated with these instruments by recording a reserve for unfunded commitments based on an assessment of the likelihood that the guarantee will be funded and the creditworthiness of the customer or counterparty. Collateral is obtained based on management’s assessment of the creditworthiness of the customer. Credit risk is represented in unused commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Refer to Note 24 "Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for more information regarding these instruments.
Credit risk associated with these instruments is represented by the contractual amounts indicated in the following table:
September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
(In millions)
Unused commitments to extend credit $ 60,653 $ 56,644
Standby letters of credit 1,783 1,742
Commercial letters of credit 52 132
Liabilities associated with standby letters of credit 31 25
Assets associated with standby letters of credit 32 25
Reserve for unfunded credit commitments 71 126
LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
Regions and its subsidiaries are subject to loss contingencies related to litigation, claims, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Regions evaluates these contingencies based on information currently available, including advice of counsel. Regions establishes accruals for those matters when a loss contingency is considered probable and the related amount is reasonably estimable. Any accruals are periodically reviewed and may be adjusted as circumstances change. Some of Regions' exposure with respect to loss contingencies may be offset by applicable insurance coverage. In determining the amounts of any accruals or estimates of possible loss contingencies however, Regions does not take into account the availability of insurance coverage. To the extent that Regions has an insurance recovery, the proceeds are recorded in the period the recovery is received.
When it is practicable, Regions estimates possible loss contingencies, whether or not there is an accrued probable loss. When Regions is able to estimate such possible losses, and when it is reasonably possible Regions could incur losses in excess of amounts accrued, Regions discloses the aggregate estimation of such possible losses. Regions currently estimates that it is reasonably possible that it may experience losses in excess of what Regions has accrued in an aggregate amount of up to approximately $ 20 million as of September 30, 2021, with it also being reasonably possible that Regions could incur no losses in excess of amounts accrued. However, as available information changes, the matters for which Regions is able to estimate, as well as the estimates themselves will be adjusted accordingly.
Assessments of litigation and claims exposure are difficult because they involve inherently unpredictable factors including, but not limited to, the following: whether the proceeding is in the early stages; whether damages are unspecified, unsupported, or uncertain; whether there is a potential for punitive or other pecuniary damages; whether the matter involves legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; whether the matter involves multiple parties and/or jurisdictions; whether
48
Table of Contents

discovery has begun or is not complete; whether meaningful settlement discussions have commenced; and whether the lawsuit involves class allegations. Assessments of class action litigation, which is generally more complex than other types of litigation, are particularly difficult, especially in the early stages of the proceeding when it is not known whether a class will be certified or how a potential class, if certified, will be defined. As a result, Regions may be unable to estimate reasonably possible losses with respect to some of the matters disclosed below, and the aggregated estimated amount discussed above may not include an estimate for every matter disclosed below.
Regions is involved in formal and informal information-gathering requests, investigations, reviews, examinations and proceedings by various governmental regulatory agencies, law enforcement authorities and self-regulatory bodies regarding Regions’ business, Regions' business practices and policies, and the conduct of persons with whom Regions does business. As previously disclosed, Regions is cooperating with an investigation by the CFPB into certain of Regions' overdraft practices and policies. Additional inquiries will arise from time to time. In connection with those inquiries, Regions receives document requests, subpoenas and other requests for information. The inquiries could develop into administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or enforcement actions that could result in consequences that have a material effect on Regions' consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a whole. Such consequences could include adverse judgments, findings, settlements, penalties, fines, orders, injunctions, restitution, or alterations in our business practices, and could result in additional expenses and collateral costs, including reputational damage.
While the final outcome of litigation and claims exposures or of any inquiries is inherently unpredictable, management is currently of the opinion that the outcome of pending and threatened litigation and inquiries will not have a material effect on Regions’ business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a whole. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is reasonably possible that an adverse outcome in any of the matters discussed above could be material to Regions’ business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period of occurrence.
GUARANTEES
FANNIE MAE DUS LOSS SHARE GUARANTEE
Regions is a DUS lender. The DUS program provides liquidity to the multi-family housing market. Regions services loans sold to Fannie Mae and is required to provide a loss share guarantee equal to one-third for the majority of its DUS servicing portfolio. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company's DUS servicing portfolio totaled approximately $ 4.8 billion and $ 4.5 billion, respectively. Regions' maximum quantifiable contingent liability related to its loss share guarantee was approximately $ 1.6 billion and $ 1.5 billion at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans it services for Fannie Mae, for which the Company retains some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement. Therefore, the maximum quantifiable contingent liability is not representative of the actual loss the Company would be expected to incur. The estimated fair value of the associated loss share guarantee recorded as a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets was approximately $ 5 million at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for additional information.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis is part of Regions Financial Corporation’s (“Regions” or the “Company”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and updates Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was previously filed with the SEC. This financial information is presented to aid in understanding Regions’ financial position and results of operations and should be read together with the financial information contained in Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 1 "Basis of Presentation" and Note 12 "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" to the consolidated financial statements for further detail. The emphasis of this discussion will be on the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 for the consolidated statements of income. For the consolidated balance sheets, the emphasis of this discussion will be the balances as of September 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020.
This discussion and analysis contains statements that may be considered “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See pages 7 through 9 for additional information regarding forward-looking statements.
CORPORATE PROFILE
Regions is a financial holding company headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, that operates in the South, Midwest and Texas. Regions provides traditional commercial, retail and mortgage banking services, as well as other financial services in the fields of asset management, wealth management, securities brokerage, trust services, merger and acquisition advisory services and other specialty financing.
Regions conducts its banking operations through Regions Bank, an Alabama state-chartered commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System. At September 30, 2021, Regions operated 1,310 total branch outlets. Regions carries out its strategies and derives its profitability from three reportable business segments: Corporate Bank, Consumer Bank, and Wealth Management, with the remainder in Other. See Note 10 "Business Segment Information" to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding Regions’ segment reporting structure.
Regions’ business strategy is focused on providing a competitive mix of products and services, delivering quality customer service, and continuing to develop and optimize distribution channels that include a branch distribution network with offices in convenient locations, as well as electronic and mobile banking.
Regions’ profitability, like that of many other financial institutions, is dependent on its ability to generate revenue from net interest income as well as non-interest income sources. Net interest income is primarily the difference between the interest income Regions receives on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense Regions pays on interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings. Regions’ net interest income is impacted by the size and mix of its balance sheet components and the interest rate spread between interest earned on its assets and interest paid on its liabilities. Non-interest income includes fees from service charges on deposit accounts, card and ATM fees, mortgage servicing and secondary marketing, investment management and trust activities, capital markets and other customer services which Regions provides. Results of operations are also affected by the provision for credit losses and non-interest expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, professional, legal and regulatory expenses, FDIC insurance assessments, and other operating expenses, as well as income taxes.
Economic conditions, competition, new legislation and related rules impacting regulation of the financial services industry and the monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal government significantly affect most, if not all, financial institutions, including Regions. Lending and deposit activities and fee income generation are influenced by levels of business spending and investment, consumer income, consumer spending and savings, capital market activities, and competition among financial institutions, as well as customer preferences, interest rate conditions and prevailing market rates on competing products in Regions’ market areas.
On February 27, 2020, Regions announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Ascentium Capital LLC, an independent equipment financing company headquartered in Kingwood, Texas. The transaction closed on April 1, 2020, and included approximately $1.9 billion in loans and leases to small businesses. Refer to the "Ascentium Acquisition" section for more detail.
On June 8, 2021, Regions entered into an agreement to acquire EnerBank USA, a consumer lending institution specializing in home improvement lending headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The transaction closed on October 1, 2021, and resulted in the addition of approximately $3.1 billion in loans to consumers.
On October 4, 2021, Regions entered into an agreement to acquire Sabal Capital Partners, LLC, a diversified financial services firm that facilitates lending in the small-balance commercial real estate market headquartered in Irvine, California. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory approval.

THIRD QUARTER OVERVIEW
Economic Environment in Regions’ Banking Markets
One of the primary factors influencing the credit performance of Regions’ loan portfolio is the overall economic environment in the U.S. and the primary markets in which it operates. The October 2021 baseline forecast anticipates real GDP growth of 5.5 percent in 2021, 4.6 percent in 2022, and 2.9 percent in 2023. While the downside risks posed by the COVID-19 virus have not been eliminated, they nonetheless have diminished with further progress on the vaccination front, but global supply chain and logistics bottlenecks remain a constraint on growth. Ample liquidity in the household and corporate sectors along with accommodative monetary and fiscal policy will be supportive of growth. That said, Regions expects that by mid-2023 the economy will be back on the path of growth around 2.0 percent that prevailed prior to the pandemic. As has been the case since the onset of the pandemic, there remains a heightened degree of uncertainty around economic forecasts being made at present.
The dominant theme in the economic data over recent months is the growing imbalance between the supply side of the economy and the demand side. Due to an unprecedented degree of fiscal and monetary policy support, greater numbers of people being vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus, and further easing of restrictions on economic activity, the demand side of the economy is notably robust. The supply side of the economy, however, is simply unable to keep pace. Shortages of labor and non-labor inputs and shipping bottlenecks have driven up costs to producers and acted as drags on output growth. Moreover, the extent to which they have been drawn down over recent months means inventories are no longer providing a meaningful buffer between demand and supply. The growing imbalance between demand and supply has contributed to the sharp acceleration in inflation over recent months.
Supply/demand imbalances remain evident in the labor market data. As of September, the level of nonfarm employment was 4.97 million jobs below the pre-pandemic peak, while there are over three million fewer people in the labor force than was the case prior to the pandemic. Yet, there are over ten million open jobs waiting to be filled, and it seems clear that firms would be hiring more workers if they were available. While it had been expected that labor supply constraints would begin easing in the fall months, there is little evidence thus far showing that to be the case. The supply/demand imbalance in the labor market is leading to more upward pressure on wages than would seem consistent with the remaining degree of labor market slack, with average hourly earnings rising across all broad industry groups. It should be noted, however, that with the various rounds of pandemic-related transfer payments having largely run their course, labor earnings have resumed their role as the main driver of growth in personal income.
The acceleration in the growth of labor income comes at a time when the personal saving rate remains significantly elevated, with an estimated $2.3 trillion more in household saving than would have been the case had pre-pandemic income and saving trends been maintained. Moreover, after having fallen by $6.26 trillion (annualized) in the second quarter of 2020, household net worth has since risen by $31.09 trillion, reflecting higher house prices and higher equity prices. Households have also been paring down non-mortgage debt, and household debt burdens continue to hover near record-lows. As such, conditions are in place for continued growth in consumer spending over coming quarters. Residential investment is expected to be a support for real GDP growth over coming quarters, but to a lesser degree than had previously been the case. Despite mortgage interest rates remaining favorable, notably lean inventories have fueled rapid house price appreciation over the past year, thus eroding affordability. Though still notably rapid, the pace of house price appreciation has begun to moderate, and further moderation is expected through the forecast horizon.
As measured by the CPI, inflation has been at or above 5.0 percent in each month since May 2021, which is expected to remain the case into early-2022. While factors such as base effects and normalization effects that boosted inflation in the summer months have faded from the data, supply chain bottlenecks, higher shipping costs, and higher labor costs remain as sources of more persistent inflation pressures. As such, while inflation is expected to slow from current rates, it is likely to remain above the FOMC’s 2.0 percent target rate through 2022. That said, the FOMC continues to believe that inflation pressures are mostly transitory which, along with their stated willingness to let inflation run above their target rate for “some time,” makes it unlikely they will respond to higher inflation in the near term. While it is expected that the FOMC will begin tapering the pace of the Fed’s monthly asset purchases in the fourth quarter of 2021, no changes in the Fed funds rate target range are expected until either late-2022 or early-2023. As such, monetary policy is expected to remain accommodative over the forecast horizon.
The October baseline forecast incorporates the infrastructure bill which has garnered bipartisan support in Congress, which would result in roughly $579 billion in spending above what has previously been assumed. While there is scope for further fiscal policy measures, at present there are no specific details on either the spending side or the tax side of the ledger and, as such, no such changes are incorporated into the current baseline forecast. It should also be noted that expectations of the potential economic effects of the infrastructure bill and any additional spending should be tempered by the fact that any such spending would be phased in over an eight-to-ten year period and would be at least partially offset by tax increases. As such, the net effect on GDP growth in any given year over the forecast horizon would be relatively small.

Patterns of economic activity within the Regions footprint are expected be broadly similar to those seen in the U.S. as a whole. While an above-average exposure to manufacturing across much of the footprint will be a tailwind to growth within the footprint, supply chain and logistics bottlenecks mean that growth will be slower than would otherwise be the case. To the extent remote working remains part of the post-pandemic landscape, states such as Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Texas that have consistently benefited from above-average degrees of in-migration should continue to do so, which will provide support to the broader economies of these states.
The continued signs of economic improvement, with consideration of uncertainty inherent in the forecast, impacted Regions' forecast utilized in calculating the ACL as of September 30, 2021. See the "Allowance" section for further information.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Regions' business operations and financial results are influenced by the economic environment in which the Company operates. In the third quarter of 2021, the economic forecast continued to show signs of recovery. While some uncertainty remains, the economic forecast shows a much more positive outlook as the economy is more fully open. There are select areas where the COVID-19 pandemic impacted third quarter conditions, as discussed below. Regions expects that the pandemic will continue to influence economic conditions and the Company's financial results in future quarters, albeit at a diminishing rate.
While most non-branch associates continued to work remotely during the third quarter of 2021, Regions began the process of returning remote working associates to office locations in October 2021.
As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of special COVID-related payment deferrals and forbearances, which were not government guaranteed, had declined to an immaterial amount.
As a certified SBA lender, Regions provided its customers with the loan process under the PPP. Program funding ended in the second quarter of 2021 and the forgiveness process is ongoing. Regions originated PPP loans totaling approximately $6.2 billion, of which approximately 26,000 loans totaling approximately $1.5 billion remained outstanding as of September 30, 2021. Regions expects that approximately 80% to 85% of the total $6.2 billion of PPP loans will be forgiven by year-end 2021.
Regions continues to have strong liquidity and capital levels, which have the Company well-prepared to respond to customer borrowing needs. The Company has ample sources of liquidity that include a stable deposit base, cash balances held at the Federal Reserve, borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank, unencumbered highly liquid securities, and borrowing availability at the Federal Reserve's discount window. See the "Liquidity", "Shareholders' Equity", and "Regulatory Capital" sections for further information.
The COVID-19 pandemic also affected non-interest income. Due to changes in customer behavior, combined with continued enhancements to overdraft practices and transaction postings, the Company estimates consumer service charges will remain 10 percent to 15 percent below pre-pandemic levels. See Table 24 "Non-Interest Income" for more detail.
Regions has experienced a modest increase in cyber events as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, however the Company's layered control environment has effectively detected and prevented any material impact related to these events. Refer to the "Information Security" section for further detail.
Capital
During the third quarter of 2020, the FRB finalized Regions' SCB requirement for the fourth quarter of 2020 through the third quarter of 2021 at 3.0 percent. In the second quarter of 2021, Regions received the results of the Company's voluntary participation in 2021 CCAR. The FRB communicated that the Company exceeded all minimum capital levels under the supervisory stress test and the Company's stress capital buffer for the fourth quarter of 2021 through the third quarter of 2022 will be floored at 2.5 percent.
As part of the Company's capital plan, on April 21, 2021, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5 billion of the Company's common stock, permitting purchases from the second quarter of 2021 through the first quarter of 2022. For the third quarter of 2021, Regions temporarily paused the repurchase of shares until the close of the EnerBank acquisition which was completed on October 1, 2021.
On October 20, 2021, the Company declared a cash dividend for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $0.17 per share of common stock, which was in compliance with the FRB's SCB framework.
The Company intends to operate at a range for CET1 of 9.25 percent to 9.75 percent, with the expectation to manage to the mid-point by year-end 2021. The Company regularly performs internal stress testing which can result in modifications to the operating range.
Third Quarter Results
Regions reported net income available to common shareholders of $624 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $501 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020.

For the third quarter of 2021, net interest income (taxable-equivalent basis) totaled $976 million, down $24 million compared to the third quarter of 2020. The net interest margin (taxable-equivalent basis) was 2.76 percent for the third quarter of 2021 and 3.13 percent in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in net interest income was primarily driven by a decrease in average loan balances and re-mixing into lower yielding lending portfolios. Net interest margin was negatively impacted by excess cash balances due to continued deposit growth as well as the repricing of fixed-rate loan and securities portfolios at lower market interest rates. Refer to Table 20 "Consolidated Average Daily Balances and Yield/Rate Analysis" for further details.
The benefit from credit losses totaled $155 million in the third quarter of 2021, as compared to a provision of $113 million during the third quarter of 2020. The current quarter benefit was primarily due to positive credit performance and continued improvement in the economic forecast. Refer to the "Allowance for Credit Losses" section for further detail.
Net charge-offs totaled $30 million, or an annualized 0.14 percent of average loans, in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $113 million, or an annualized 0.50 percent for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by broad-based improvements across most portfolios. See Note 3 "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses" to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
The allowance was 1.80 percent of total loans, net of unearned income at September 30, 2021 compared to 2.69 percent at December 31, 2020. The decrease was impacted by the factors discussed above. The allowance was 283 percent of total non-performing loans at September 30, 2021 compared to 308 percent at December 31, 2020 . Total non-performing loans (excluding loans held for sale) declined to 0.64 percent of total loans, net of unearned income, at September 30, 2021 compared to 0.87 percent at December 31, 2020. Refer to the "Allowance for Credit Losses" section for further detail.
Non-interest income was $649 million for the third quarter of 2021, a $6 million decrease from the third quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in mortgage income and a gain on an equity investment that was recognized in the third quarter of 2020. These decreases were largely offset by increased capital markets income and other miscellaneous income. See Table 24 "Non-Interest Income" for more detail.
Total non-interest expense was $938 million in the third quarter of 2021, a $42 million increase from the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and employee benefits expense and a loss on early extinguishment of debt incurred in the quarter. See Table 25 "Non-Interest Expense" for more detail.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $180 million compared to $104 million for the same period in 2020. See "Income Taxes" toward the end of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of this report for more detail.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
The following sections provide expanded discussion of significant changes in certain line items in asset, liability, and shareholders' equity categories.

Table of Contents

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $9.6 billion from year-end 2020 to September 30, 2021, due primarily to an increase in cash on deposit with the FRB. Elevated cash from deposit growth is held at the FRB. Deposit growth was primarily driven by pandemic-related deposit inflows resulting in higher consumer account balances and new account growth during the first nine months of 2021. See the "Liquidity" and "Deposits" sections for more information.
DEBT SECURITIES
The following table details the carrying values of debt securities, including both available for sale and held to maturity:

Corporate and other debt securities 1,470 1,204
$ 29,931 $ 28,276
Debt securities available for sale, which constitute the majority of the securities portfolio, are an important tool used to manage interest rate sensitivity and provide a primary source of liquidity for the Company. Regions maintains a highly rated securities portfolio consisting primarily of agency mortgage-backed securities. See Note 2 "Debt Securities" to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. Also see the "Market Risk-Interest Rate Risk" and "Liquidity" sections for more information.
Debt securities increased $1.7 billion from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021. The increase from year-end was primarily the result of the purchase of approximately $2.0 billion in U.S treasury securities, mortgage-backed securities and corporate and other debt securities during the second quarter of 2021.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Loans held for sale totaled $934 million at September 30, 2021, consisting of $850 million of residential real estate mortgage loans, $81 million of commercial mortgage and other loans, and $3 million of non-performing loans. At December 31, 2020, loans held for sale totaled $1.9 billion, consisting of $1.4 billion of residential real estate mortgage loans, $460 million of commercial mortgage and other loans, and $6 million of non-performing loans. The levels of residential real estate and commercial mortgage loans held for sale that are part of the Company's mortgage originations fluctuate depending on the timing of origination and sale to third parties.

However, the loan portfolio may be exposed to certain concentrations of credit risk which exist in relation to individual borrowers or groups of borrowers, certain types of collateral, certain types of industries, certain loan products, or certain regions of the country. Refer to Note 6 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information regarding Regions’ portfolio segments and related classes, as well as the risks specific to each.
While the economic environment continues to improve as the economy re-opens, there are select industries that continue to experience impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. See Table 3 and Table 4 below for more detail.
Commercial
The commercial portfolio segment includes commercial and industrial loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases and other expansion projects. Commercial and industrial loans decreased $1.1 billion since year-end 2020. The September 30, 2021 balance includes $1.5 billion of PPP loans, a decrease of $2.1 billion compared to year-end 2020, reflecting PPP forgiveness. While line utilization levels remain well below pre-pandemic levels, utilization levels slightly increased by the end of the third quarter compared to the inflection point reached in the second quarter. Excluding PPP lending balances, commercial loan balances increased since year-end 2020 driven by growth in healthcare, transportation, technology and defense, as well as equipment lending through Ascentium.
Commercial also includes owner-occupied commercial real estate mortgage loans to operating businesses, which are loans for long-term financing of land and buildings, and are repaid by cash flows generated by business operations. Owner-occupied commercial real estate construction loans are made to commercial businesses for the development of land or construction of a building where the repayment is derived from revenues generated from the business of the borrower.
Over half of the Company’s total loans are included in the commercial portfolio segment. These balances are spread across numerous industries as noted in the table below. The Company manages the related risks to this portfolio by setting certain lending limits for each significant industry.
The following tables provide detail of Regions' commercial lending balances in selected industries.

(2) "Other" contains balances related to non-classifiable and invalid business industry codes offset by payments in process and fee accounts that are not available at the loan level.
(3) As customers' businesses evolve (e.g. up or down the vertical manufacturing chain), Regions may need to change the assigned business industry code used to define the customer relationship. When these changes occur, Regions does not recast the customer history for prior periods into the new classification because the business industry code used in the prior period was deemed appropriate. As a result, comparable period changes may be impacted.

Regions has identified certain industry sectors within the commercial and investor real estate portfolio segments that have the highest risk due to COVID-19. A bottom-up review was performed in all three quarters of 2021, which narrowed the high-risk industry sectors compared to year-end 2020. As of September 30, 2021, these high-risk industries include energy, consumer services and travel, retail, restaurants, and hotels. Identified COVID-19 high-risk balances have declined $2.7 billion from $5.2 billion at year-end 2020 to $2.5 billion as of September 30, 2021.
Industries and sub-sectors identified as high-risk may change in future periods depending on how the macroeconomic environment conditions develop over time. These identified high-risk industries, and specified sectors within these industries, are detailed in Table 4 below. Regions is closely monitoring customers in these industries and has frequent dialogue with these customers. All loans within these tables are in the commercial portfolio segment, unless specifically identified as IRE. PPP loan balances are not included in Table 4 as these loans are not considered high risk, as they are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government.

(2) Regions defines classified loans as commercial and investor real estate loans risk-rated substandard accrual and non-accrual, and criticized loans as those risk-rated special mention, substandard accrual and non-accrual. Criticized loans are also referred to as "criticized and classified" .
Investor Real Estate
Loans for real estate development are repaid through cash flows related to the operation, sale or refinance of the property. This portfolio segment includes extensions of credit to real estate developers or investors where repayment is dependent on the sale of real estate or income generated from the real estate collateral. A portion of Regions’ investor real estate portfolio segment consists of loans secured by residential product types (land, single-family and condominium loans) within Regions’ markets. Additionally, this category includes loans made to finance income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail shopping centers. Total investor real estate loans increased $49 million in comparison to 2020 year-end balances.
Residential First Mortgage
Residential first mortgage loans represent loans to consumers to finance a residence. These loans are typically financed over a 15 to 30 year term and, in most cases, are extended to borrowers to finance their primary residence. These loans increased $772 million in comparison to 2020 year-end balances. The increase in residential first mortgage loans was primarily driven by an increase in originations due to continued historically low market interest rates. Approximately $4.8 billion in new loan originations were retained on the balance sheet through the first nine months of 2021.
Home Equity Lines
Home equity lines are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower's residence and allow customers to borrow against the equity in their homes. Home equity lines decreased by $664 million in comparison to 2020 year-end balances. Substantially all of this portfolio was originated through Regions’ branch network.
Beginning in December 2016, new home equity lines of credit have a 10-year draw period and a 20-year repayment term. During the 10-year draw period customers do not have an interest-only payment option, except on a very limited basis. From May 2009 to December 2016, home equity lines of credit had a 10-year draw period and a 10-year repayment term. Prior to May 2009, home equity lines of credit had a 20-year repayment term with a balloon payment upon maturity or a 5-year draw

period with a balloon payment upon maturity. The term “balloon payment” means there are no principal payments required until the balloon payment is due for interest-only lines of credit.
The following table presents information regarding the future principal payment reset dates for the Company's home equity lines of credit as of September 30, 2021. The balances presented are based on maturity date for lines with a balloon payment and draw period expiration date for lines that convert to a repayment period.

Home Equity Loans
Home equity loans are also secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower's residence, are primarily originated as amortizing loans, and allow customers to borrow against the equity in their homes. Home equity loans decreased by $157 million in comparison to 2020 year-end balances. Substantially all of this portfolio was originated through Regions’ branch network.
Other Consumer Credit Quality Data
The Company calculates an estimate of the current value of property secured as collateral for both residential first mortgage and home equity lending products (“current LTV”). The estimate is based on home price indices compiled by a third party. The third party data indicates trends for MSAs. Regions uses the third party valuation trends from the MSAs in the Company's footprint in its estimate. The trend data is applied to the loan portfolios taking into account the age of the most recent valuation and geographic area.
The following table presents current LTV data for components of the residential first mortgage, home equity lines and home equity loans classes of the consumer portfolio segment. Current LTV data for some loans in the portfolio is not available due to mergers and systems integrations. The amounts in the table represent the entire loan balance. For purposes of the table below, if the loan balance exceeds the current estimated collateral the entire balance is included in the “Above 100%” category, regardless of the amount of collateral available to partially offset the shortfall.

Indirect—Vehicles
Indirect-vehicles lending, which was lending initiated through third-party business partners, largely consists of loans made through automotive dealerships. This portfolio decreased $434 million from year-end 2020 as Regions has discontinued its indirect auto lending business. The Company remains in the direct auto lending business.
Indirect—Other Consumer
Indirect-other consumer lending represents other lending initiatives through third parties, including point of sale lending. This portfolio decreased $308 million from year-end 2020 due to exiting a third party relationship during the fourth quarter of 2019.
Consumer Credit Card
Consumer credit card lending represents primarily open-ended variable interest rate consumer credit card loans. These balances decreased $77 million from year-end 2020.
Other Consumer
Other consumer loans primarily include direct consumer loans, overdrafts and other revolving loans. Other consumer loans decreased $48 million from year-end 2020.
Regions considers factors such as periodic updates of FICO scores, unemployment, home prices, and geography as credit quality indicators for consumer loans. FICO scores are obtained at origination and refreshed FICO scores are obtained by the Company quarterly for all consumer loans. For more information on credit quality indicators refer to Note 3 "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses" .

Table of Contents

ALLOWANCE
The allowance consists of two components: the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit commitments. Discussion of the methodology used to calculate the allowance is included in Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 6 "Allowance for Credit Losses" to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as related discussion in Management's Discussion and Analysis.
The allowance is sensitive to a number of internal factors, such as modifications in the mix and level of loan balances outstanding, portfolio performance and assigned risk ratings. The allowance is also sensitive to external factors such as the general health of the economy, as evidenced by changes in interest rates, GDP, unemployment rates, changes in real estate demand and values, volatility in commodity prices, bankruptcy filings, health pandemics, government stimulus, and the effects of weather and natural disasters such as droughts, floods and hurricanes.
Management considers these variables and all other available information when establishing the final level of the allowance. These variables and others have the ability to result in actual credit losses that differ from the originally estimated amounts.
The allowance totaled $1.5 billion at September 30, 2021 compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2020, which represents management's best estimate of expected losses over the life of the loan and credit commitment portfolios. Key drivers of the change in the allowance are presented in Table 7 below. While many of these items overlap regarding impact, they are included in the category most relevant.

(1) This line item includes the net impact of portfolio growth, portfolio run-off, pay-downs and changes in the mix of total outstanding loans. This line item excludes the impact of PPP loans of $1.5 billion as of September 30, 2021, which are fully backed by the U.S. government and have an immaterial associated allowance.
(2) This balance includes $64 million related to the initial allowance for non-PCD loans acquired as part of the Ascentium acquisition. Impact included only for the quarter of acquisition.
(3) Regions adopted the CECL accounting guidance on January 1, 2020 and recorded the cumulative effect of the change in accounting guidance as a reduction to retained earnings and an increase to deferred tax assets in the first quarter of 2020.

Credit metrics are monitored throughout the quarter in order to understand external macro-views, trends and industry outlooks, as well as Regions' internal specific views of credit metrics and trends. The third quarter of 2021 exhibited continued strong asset quality performance, reflecting broad-based improvements across most portfolios. Commercial and investor real estate criticized balances decreased approximately $168 million, classified balances decreased $107 million, and total net

Table of Contents

charge-offs decreased $17 million compared to the second quarter of 2021. Non-performing loans, excluding held for sale, and non-performing assets decreased approximately $136 million and $234 million, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2021. Additionally, mortgage LTVs are holding up well and while the HPI remained strong in the third quarter of 2021, the pace of house price appreciation has begun to moderate and further moderation is expected through the forecast horizon.
Regions continued to perform a bottom-up review of loan portfolios during the third quarter of 2021, which resulted in no change to the sectors considered high-risk compared to the second quarter of 2021; however the balance of loans in COVID-19 high-risk industry segments declined approximately $200 million from June 30, 2021. Refer to the "Portfolio Characteristics" section for more information about the high-risk industries. As the credit risk within Regions' loan portfolio continues to be evaluated, both negative and positive factors of the economic landscape were considered in determining the allowance estimate.
As economic activity continued to accelerate due to the largely reopened economy, the third quarter of 2021 showed continued signs of economic improvement. Regions' September 2021 forecast was relatively consistent with the June 2021 forecast with continued increases in HPI and some caution around GDP growth. Regions' economic forecast utilized in the September 30, 2021 allowance estimate considered sustained reopening of the economy, further vaccine distribution and continued increases in consumer spending on goods and services. Refer to the Economic Environment in Regions' Banking Markets within the "Third Quarter Overview" section for more information. Furthermore, Regions benchmarks its internal forecast with external forecasts and external data available.
The table below reflects a range of macroeconomic factors utilized in the Base forecast over the two-year R&S forecast period as of September 30, 2021. The unemployment rate is the most significant macroeconomic factor among the CECL models. Unemployment rates in the third quarter and the forecasted periods remained normalized.

S&P 500 4,450 4,557 4,600 4,630 4,657 4,693 4,726 4,764 4,805
The continued improvement in the economic outlook and positive credit performance during the quarter (described above) were significant drivers of the modeled decreases in the allowance.
While Regions' quantitative allowance methodologies strive to reflect all risk factors, any estimate involves assumptions and uncertainties resulting in some level of imprecision. The qualitative framework has a general imprecision component which is meant to acknowledge that model and forecast errors are inherent in any modeling estimate. The September 30, 2021 general imprecision allowance was reduced compared to the second quarter of 2021, but continues to reflect management's caution with respect to the modeled reductions in the allowance given the uncertainty surrounding the pace of economic recovery, including the potential for higher inflation, as the changing status of the pandemic unfolds.
Based on the overall analysis performed, management deemed an allowance of $1.5 billion to be appropriate to absorb expected credit losses in the loan and credit commitment portfolios as of September 30, 2021.

Table of Contents

Details regarding the allowance and net charge-offs, including an analysis of activity from the previous year’s totals, are included in Table 9 "Allowance for Credit Losses." As noted above, economic trends such as interest rates, unemployment, volatility in commodity prices, inflation and collateral valuations as well as the length and depth of the COVID-19 pandemic and policy accommodations will impact the future levels of net charge-offs and may result in volatility of certain credit metrics during the remainder of 2021 and beyond.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS (TDRs)
TDRs are modified loans in which a concession is provided to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. As provided initially in the CARES Act passed into law on March 27, 2020 and subsequently extended through the Consolidated Appropriations Act signed into law on December 27, 2020, certain loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic beginning March 1, 2020 through the earlier of 60 days after the end of the pandemic or January 1, 2022 are eligible for relief from TDR classification. Regions elected this provision of both Acts; therefore, modified loans that met the required guidelines for relief are not considered TDRs and are excluded from the disclosures below.
Residential first mortgage, home equity, consumer credit card and other consumer TDRs are consumer loans modified under the CAP. Commercial and investor real estate loan modifications are not the result of a formal program, but represent situations where modifications were offered as a workout alternative. Renewals of classified commercial and investor real estate loans are considered to be TDRs, even if no reduction in interest rate is offered, if the existing terms are considered to be below market. Insignificant modifications are not considered TDRs. More detailed information is included in Note 3 "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses" to the consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the loan balance and related allowance for accruing and non-accruing TDRs for the periods presented:

The following table provides an analysis of the changes in commercial and investor real estate TDRs. TDRs with subsequent restructurings that meet the definition of a TDR are only reported as TDR additions in the period they were first modified. Other than resolutions such as charge-offs, foreclosures, payments, sales and transfers to held for sale, Regions may remove loans from TDR classification if the following conditions are met: the borrower's financial condition improves such that the borrower is no longer in financial difficulty, the loan has not had any forgiveness of principal or interest, the loan has not been restructured as an "A" note/"B" note, the loan has been reported as a TDR over one fiscal year-end and the loan is subsequently refinanced or restructured at market terms such that it qualifies as a new loan.
For the consumer portfolio, changes in TDRs are primarily due to additions from CAP modifications and outflows from payments and charge-offs. Given the types of concessions currently being granted under the CAP as detailed in Note 3 "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses" to the consolidated financial statements, Regions does not expect that the market interest rate condition will be widely achieved. Therefore, Regions expects consumer loans modified through CAP to continue to be identified as TDRs for the remaining term of the loan.

Non-performing loans at September 30, 2021 have decreased compared to year-end levels, driven by improvement in retail, energy and administrative, support and waste repair.
Economic trends such as interest rates, unemployment, volatility in commodity prices, and collateral valuations will impact the future level of non-performing assets. Circumstances related to individually large credits could also result in volatility.

GOODWILL
Goodwill totaled $5.2 billion at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and is allocated to each of Regions’ reportable segments (each a reporting unit), at which level goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often if events and circumstances indicate the fair value of the reporting unit may have declined below the carrying value (refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further discussion of when Regions tests goodwill for impairment and the Company's methodology and valuation approaches used to determine the estimated fair value of each reporting unit).
The result of the assessment performed for the third quarter of 2021 did not indicate that the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units (Corporate Bank, Consumer Bank and Wealth Management) had declined below their respective carrying values. Therefore, Regions determined that a test of goodwill impairment was not required for any of Regions’ reporting units for the September 30, 2021 interim period.

DEPOSITS
Regions competes with other banking and financial services companies for a share of the deposit market. Regions’ ability to compete in the deposit market depends heavily on the pricing of its deposits and how effectively the Company meets customers’ needs. Regions employs various means to meet those needs and enhance competitiveness, such as providing a high level of customer service and competitive pricing and convenient branch locations for its customers. Regions also serves customers through providing centralized, high-quality banking services and the Company's digital channels and contact center.
The following table summarizes deposits by category:

$ 132,039 $ 122,479
Total deposits at September 30, 2021 increased approximately $9.6 billion compared to year-end 2020 levels, driven by increases in all categories other than customer time deposits. Increases across those categories were primarily driven by pandemic-related deposit inflows resulting in increased consumer customer deposit balances and new account growth. To a lesser degree, growth in non-interest bearing demand is due to an increase in deposits from business customers who continue to retain excess liquidity. Customer time deposits decreased due to maturities, and continued lower interest rates resulted in a decrease in the utilization of time deposit accounts.

Long-term borrowings decreased by approximately $1.1 billion since year-end 2020 due primarily to redemptions of parent and bank debt. See the "Liquidity" section for further detail of Regions' borrowing capacity with the FHLB, which is currently not being utilized.
On January 12, 2021, Regions sent notices of redemption, which resulted in the redemption on January 22, 2021, of its 3.20% senior notes due February 2021 pursuant to their terms, at an aggregate redemption price equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed and any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
On February 19, 2021, Regions Bank sent notices of redemption, which resulted in the redemption on March 1, 2021 of its 2.75% senior bank notes due April 1, 2021 and of its senior floating rate bank notes due April 1, 2021 pursuant to their terms, at an aggregate redemption price equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed and any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
On August 12, 2021, Regions issued $650 million of 1.80% senior notes due August 2028 which were effectively converted to floating rate notes at 1 month LIBOR through the simultaneous execution of an interest rate swap. Also on August 12, 2021, Regions sent notices of redemption, which resulted in the redemption on August 23, 2021, of its 3.80% senior notes due August 2023 pursuant to their terms, at an aggregate redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed and any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In conjunction with the redemption, Regions incurred related early extinguishment pre-tax charges totaling $20 million.
At September 30, 2021, one Ascentium note securitization class remained outstanding with an interest rate of 2.12% maturing in October 2025. At December 31, 2020, the Ascentium note securitizations had various classes and had a weighted-average interest rate of 2.12% with remaining maturities ranging from 3 years to 5 years and a weighted-average of 4.3 years.
SHAREHOLDERS’ AND TOTAL EQUITY
Shareholders’ equity was $18.6 billion at September 30, 2021 as compared to $18.1 billion at December 31, 2020. During the first nine months of 2021, net income increased shareholders' equity by $2.1 billion, cash dividends on common stock reduced shareholders' equity by $460 million, and cash dividends on preferred stock reduced shareholders' equity by $84 million. Changes in AOCI decreased shareholders' equity by $783 million, primarily due to the net change in unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale and derivative instruments as a result of changes in market interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The derivative instruments are hedges designed to protect net interest income in a low short-term interest rate environment, such as the one that currently exists. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company issued Series E preferred stock, which increased shareholders' equity by $390 million. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company also redeemed all of the outstanding shares of it's Series A preferred stock, which decreased shareholders' equity by $500 million. Common stock repurchased during the first nine months of 2021 reduced shareholders' equity $167 million. These shares were immediately retired and therefore are not included in treasury stock.
Total equity includes noncontrolling interest of $18 million, representing the unowned portion of a low income housing tax credit fund syndication, of which Regions held the majority interest at September 30, 2021.
See Note 5 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" section for additional information.
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
Regions and Regions Bank are required to comply with regulatory capital requirements established by Federal and State banking agencies. These regulatory capital requirements involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities and selected off-balance sheet items, and also qualitative judgments by the regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can subject the Company to a series of increasingly restrictive regulatory actions.
Under the Basel III Rules, Regions is designated as a standardized approach bank. Additional discussion of the Basel III Rules, their applicability to Regions, recent proposals and final rules issued by the federal banking agencies and recent laws enacted that impact regulatory requirements is included in the “Supervision and Regulation” subsection of the “Business” section in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the "Regulatory Requirements" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional discussion is also included in Note 13 "Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions" to the consolidated financial statements in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the third quarter of 2020, the federal banking agencies finalized a rule related to the impact of CECL on regulatory capital requirements.  The rule allows an add-back to regulatory capital for the impacts of CECL for a two-year period.  At the end of the two years, the impact is then phased-in over the following three years.  The add-back is calculated as the impact of initial adoption, adjusted for 25 percent of subsequent changes in the allowance. At September 30, 2021, the impact of the add-back on CET1 was approximately $390 million, or approximately 36 basis points.

_______
(1) The current quarter Basel III CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital, Total capital, and Leverage capital ratios are estimated.

In October of 2020, the SCB framework that was finalized in the first quarter of 2020, was implemented. This new framework created a firm-specific risk sensitive buffer that is applied to regulatory minimum capital levels to help determine effective minimum ratio requirements. The SCB is now floored at 2.5 percent to ensure effective minimum capital levels do not decline as a result of this rule change. At implementation, the SCB replaced the current Capital Conservation Buffer, which was a static 2.5 percent in addition to the minimum risk-weighted asset ratios shown above.
During the third quarter of 2020, and in connection with the results of its supervisory stress test released in June 2020, the Federal Reserve finalized Regions' SCB requirement for the fourth quarter of 2020 through the third quarter of 2021 at 3.0 percent. The 3.0 percent requirement represented the amount of capital degradation under the supervisory severely adverse scenario, inclusive of four quarters of planned common stock dividends. In the second quarter of 2021, Regions received the results of the Company's voluntary participation in 2021 CCAR. The FRB communicated that the Company exceeded all minimum capital levels under the supervisory stress test and the Company's stress capital buffer for the fourth quarter of 2021 through the third quarter of 2022 is floored at 2.5 percent.
The Company intends to operate at a range for CET1 of 9.25 percent to 9.75 percent, with the expectation to manage to the mid-point by year-end 2021. The Company regularly performs internal stress testing which can result in modifications to the operating range.
The Federal Reserve approved its rule for tailoring enhanced prudential standards for bank holding companies with $100 billion or more in total consolidated assets. The framework outlines tailored standards for matters related to capital and liquidity. Regions is a "Category IV" institution under these rules.

LIQUIDITY
Regions maintains a robust liquidity management framework designed to effectively manage liquidity risk in accordance with sound risk management principals and regulatory expectations. The framework establishes sustainable processes and tools to effectively identify, measure, mitigate, monitor, and report liquidity risks beginning with Regions’ Liquidity Management Policy and the Liquidity Risk Appetite Statements approved by the Board. Processes within the liquidity management framework include, but are not limited to, liquidity risk governance, cash management, liquidity stress testing, liquidity risk limits, contingency funding plans, and collateral management. While the framework is designed to comply with liquidity regulations, the processes are further tailored to be commensurate with Regions’ operating model and risk profile.
See the "Liquidity" section for more information. Also, see the “Supervision and Regulation—Liquidity Regulation” subsection of the “Business” section, the "Risk Factors" section and the "Liquidity" section in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

N/A - Not applicable.

On July 13, 2021, Fitch upgraded Regions' outlook from Stable to Positive citing improved credit quality and returns relative to peers.
In general, ratings agencies base their ratings on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, business mix, probability of government support, and level and quality of earnings. Any downgrade in credit ratings by one or more ratings agencies may impact Regions in several ways, including, but not limited to, Regions’ access to the capital markets or short-term funding, borrowing cost and capacity, collateral requirements, and acceptability of its letters of credit, thereby potentially adversely impacting Regions’ financial condition and liquidity. See the “Risk Factors” section in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and the ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Additional information on the credit rating ranking within the overall classification system is located on the website of each credit rating agency.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
The table below presents computations of earnings and certain other financial measures, which exclude certain significant items that are included in the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include “adjusted average balances of loans”, "adjusted ending balances of loans", "ACL to loans excluding PPP, net ratio", "adjusted net interest margin", “adjusted efficiency ratio”, “adjusted fee income ratio”, “return on average tangible common shareholders' equity” on a consolidated operations basis, and end of period “tangible common shareholders’ equity”, and related ratios. Regions believes that expressing earnings and certain other financial measures excluding these significant items provides a meaningful basis for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Company and predicting future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess the performance of Regions’ business because management does not consider the activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations. Regions believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management. Management and the Board utilize these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
• Preparation of Regions’ operating budgets
• Monthly financial performance reporting
• Monthly close-out reporting of consolidated results (management only)
• Presentations to investors of Company performance
• Metrics for incentive compensation
Average total loans and ending total loans are presented including commercial loans reclassified from held for sale and excluding loan balances related to loans originated through the SBA's PPP program, the indirect-other consumer exit portfolio and the indirect-vehicles exit portfolio to arrive at adjusted average total loans (non-GAAP) and adjusted ending total loans (non-GAAP). Regions believes adjusting average and ending total loans provides a meaningful calculation of loan growth rates and presents them on the same basis as that applied by management.
74
Table of Contents

Ending total loans are presented excluding loan balances related to loans originated through the SBA's PPP program. Regions believes the related ACL to loans excluding PPP ratio provides meaningful information about credit loss allowance levels when the SBA's PPP loans, which are fully backed by the U.S. government, are excluded from total loans and the related credit loss is excluded from the total allowance for credit losses.
Net interest margin is presented excluding the impact of SBA PPP loans and excess cash, defined as cash exceeding $750 million. Regions believes the adjusted net interest margin (non-GAAP) provides investors with meaningful additional information about Regions' performance when margin associated with the SBA's PPP loans and excess cash are excluded from net interest margin (GAAP).
The adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP), which is a measure of productivity, is generally calculated as adjusted non-interest expense divided by adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. The adjusted fee income ratio (non-GAAP) is generally calculated as adjusted non-interest income divided by adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Management uses these ratios to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful information to investors. Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted efficiency ratio. Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted fee income ratio. Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which is the denominator for the adjusted efficiency and adjusted fee income ratios.
Tangible common shareholders’ equity ratios have become a focus of some investors in analyzing the capital position of the Company absent the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Traditionally, the Federal Reserve and other banking regulatory bodies have assessed a bank’s capital adequacy based on Tier 1 capital, the calculation of which is codified in federal banking regulations. Analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions’ capital adequacy using the tangible common shareholders’ equity measure. Because tangible common shareholders’ equity is not formally defined by GAAP, this measure is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and other entities may calculate it differently than Regions’ disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions’ capital adequacy using tangible common shareholders’ equity, Regions believes that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on this same basis.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. In particular, a measure of earnings that excludes selected items does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to shareholders.
The following tables provide: 1) a reconciliation of average total loans (GAAP) to adjusted average total loans (non-GAAP), 2) a reconciliation of ending total loans (GAAP) to adjusted ending total loans (non-GAAP), 3) a reconciliation of ending total loans excluding PPP loans (non-GAAP), a reconciliation of ACL (GAAP) to ACL excluding PPP loans' ACL (non-GAAP), and a computation of ACL to ending loans excluding PPP loans (non-GAAP), 4) a reconciliation of net interest margin (GAAP) to adjusted net interest margin (non-GAAP), 5) a reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to net income available to common shareholders (GAAP), 6) a reconciliation of non-interest expense (GAAP) to adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), 7) a reconciliation of net interest income, taxable equivalent basis (GAAP) to adjusted net interest income, taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP), 8) a reconciliation of non-interest income (GAAP) to adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), 9) a computation of adjusted total revenue (non-GAAP), 10) a computation of the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP), 11) a computation of the adjusted fee income ratio (non-GAAP), and 12) a reconciliation of average and ending shareholders’ equity (GAAP) to average and ending tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) and calculations of related ratios (non-GAAP).

Net interest income decreased for the third quarter 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 and slightly increased for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The net interest income decline in the third quarter was due to lower long-term rates, but was partially offset by lower deposit and borrowing costs, active cash management strategies, and an outsized credit interest recovery during the quarter. Interest income on loans for the first three and nine months of 2021 and 2020 was aided by the Company's hedging strategy, with benefits expanding as more notional became active throughout 2020. The hedges had a positive impact of approximately $ 314 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $163 million in the same period of 2020.

Table of Contents

Net interest margin declined for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily driven by continued elevated liquidity as indicated by higher cash balances. Regions continues to prudently manage its excess liquidity balances through extinguishments of long-term borrowings and securities purchases. Net interest margin for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods of 2020 was negatively impacted by the repricing of fixed-rate loan portfolios and the securities portfolio at lower market interest rates. Excluding the impact of PPP lending and excess cash, which Regions considers to be balances in excess of $750 million, adjusted net interest margin (non-GAAP) for the third quarter 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 declined modestly to 3.30% and 3.34%, respectively. See Table 19 "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for a reconciliation of adjusted net interest margin.
Exclusive of the impact from PPP loans, excess cash, an outsized credit recovery experienced in the third quarter, and the fourth quarter EnerBank and Sabal acquisitions, net interest income is expected to be stable in the fourth quarter; aided by hedging, balance sheet management strategies, and deposit rates.
MARKET RISK—INTEREST RATE RISK
Regions’ primary market risk is interest rate risk. This includes uncertainty with respect to absolute interest rate levels as well as relative interest rate levels, which are impacted by both the shape and the slope of the various yield curves that affect the financial products and services that the Company offers. To quantify this risk, Regions measures the change in its net interest income in various interest rate scenarios compared to a base case scenario. Net interest income sensitivity to market rate movements is a useful short-term indicator of Regions’ interest rate risk.
Sensitivity Measurement —Financial simulation models are Regions’ primary tools used to measure interest rate exposure. Using a wide range of sophisticated simulation techniques provides management with extensive information on the potential impact to net interest income caused by changes in interest rates. Models are structured to simulate cash flows and accrual characteristics of Regions’ balance sheet. Assumptions are made about the direction and volatility of interest rates, the slope of the yield curve, and the changing composition of the balance sheet that results from both strategic plans and from customer behavior. Among the assumptions are expectations of balance sheet growth and composition, the pricing and maturity characteristics of existing business and the characteristics of future business. Interest rate-related risks are expressly considered, such as pricing spreads, the pricing of deposit accounts, prepayments and other option risks. Regions considers these factors, as well as the degree of certainty or uncertainty surrounding their future behavior.
The primary objective of asset/liability management at Regions is to coordinate balance sheet composition with interest rate risk management to sustain reasonable and stable net interest income throughout various interest rate cycles. In computing interest rate sensitivity for measurement, Regions compares a set of alternative interest rate scenarios to the results of a base case scenario derived using “market forward rates.” The standard set of interest rate scenarios includes the traditional instantaneous parallel rate shifts of plus 100 and 200 basis points. Given low market rates by historical standards, the Company focuses on a falling rate shock scenario where all rates fall to levels consistent with historical minimums. In addition to parallel curve shifts, multiple curve steepening and flattening scenarios are contemplated. Regions includes simulations of gradual interest rate movements phased in over a six-month period that may more realistically mimic the speed of potential interest rate movements.
Exposure to Interest Rate Movements —As of September 30, 2021, Regions was asset sensitive to both gradual and instantaneous parallel yield curve shifts as compared to the base case for the 12-month measurement horizon ending September 2022.
The third quarter of 2021 continued the trend of growth in low-cost deposits and cash balances held with the Federal Reserve. Retention of these balance sheet liquidity inflows is uncertain and much of the recent deposit growth may be more rate sensitive under a rising rate scenario. Therefore, additional sensitivity analysis focused on pandemic-related "surge" deposit pricing behavior and retention is outlined in Table 21.
The estimated exposure associated with the rising and falling rate scenarios in the table below reflects the combined impacts of movements in short-term and long-term interest rates. Currently, net interest income sensitivity to short-term rates is approximately neutral when excluding pandemic-related deposit increases; however, it will increase in 2023 and beyond as receive fixed interest rate swap hedges begin to mature. An increase or reduction in short-term interest rates (such as the Fed Funds rate, the rate of Interest on Excess Reserves and 1-month LIBOR) will drive the yield on assets and liabilities contractually tied to such rates higher or lower. Under either environment, it is expected that changes in funding costs and balance sheet hedging income will completely offset the change in asset yields until those hedges mature. Importantly, the potential to retain "surge" deposits with lower than expected repricing behavior represents an opportunity for further net interest income growth in the increasing rate scenario as well.
Net interest income remains exposed to intermediate yield curve tenors. While this was a headwind to net interest income during the pandemic, it also represents a tailwind to net interest income growth as the yield curve steepens. An increase in intermediate and long-term interest rates (such as intermediate to longer-term U.S. Treasuries, swap and mortgage rates) will drive yields higher on certain fixed rate, newly originated or renewed loans, increase prospective yields on certain investment

portfolio purchases, and reduce amortization of premium expense on existing securities in the investment portfolio. The opposite is true in an environment where intermediate and long-term interest rates fall. Approximately 70% of fixed rate asset production is at the 5-year tenor point or shorter.
The interest rate sensitivity analysis presented below in Table 21 is informed by a variety of assumptions and estimates regarding the progression of the balance sheet in both the baseline scenario as well as the scenarios of instantaneous and gradual shifts in the yield curve. Though there are many assumptions which affect the estimates for net interest income, those pertaining to deposit pricing, deposit mix and overall balance sheet composition are particularly impactful. Given the uncertainties associated with the prolonged period of low interest rates and industry liquidity, management evaluates the impact to its sensitivity analysis of these key assumptions. Sensitivity calculations are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future results.
The Company’s baseline balance sheet assumptions include management's best estimate for balance sheet growth in the coming 12 months. However, the behavior of pandemic-related "surge" deposits under a rising rate scenario is uncertain. Therefore, Table 21 includes two balance sheet scenarios to help inform a potential range of outcomes. The first is an opportunity scenario, and assumes that these deposits behave more like stable, legacy balances, which is consistent with historical disclosures. The second is a reduction scenario assuming that these depositors will be more sensitive to rate, requiring a higher interest rate in order to hold their balances with the bank. For this scenario, "surge" deposits are assumed to encompass all balance growth on legacy accounts evidenced from February 2020 to September 2021, or approximately $27 billion. These deposits, including non-interest bearing products, are attributed with a 75% repricing beta in rising rate scenarios. Importantly, the impact to net interest income under a changing rate environment is the same whether the "surge" deposit balances are held at a higher beta or the balances attrite and the funding is replaced with wholesale sources. Given the evolving nature of the environment, estimates have been conservatively derived. Should the balances remain with the Company longer or demonstrate less sensitivity to interest rates, there is potential for upside (e.g. the opportunity scenario). The disclosure in Table 21 does not prescribe a view as to the longevity of surge deposits on the balance sheet.
The behavior of deposit pricing in response to changes in interest rate levels is largely informed by analyses of prior rate cycles. In the base case scenario and falling rate scenarios in Table 21, interest-bearing deposit rates remain in the single digits. The deposit beta model is dynamic across both interest rate level and time. Currently, the Scenario One gradual +100 basis point shock outlined in the table below includes an approximate 20% to 25% interest-bearing deposit beta for legacy deposits. Again, the "surge" deposit interest-bearing deposit beta is bookended in each scenario, assuming legacy betas and a 75% beta, respectively. Deposit pricing outperformance or underperformance of 5% in that scenario would increase or decrease net interest income by approximately $30 million, respectively.
In rising rate scenarios only, management assumes that the mix of legacy deposits will change versus the base case as informed by analyses of prior rate cycles. Management assumes that in rising rate scenarios, some shift from non-interest bearing to interest-bearing products will occur. The magnitude of the shift is rate dependent and equates to approximately $3 billion over 12 months in the gradual +100 basis point scenario in Table 21.
The table below summarizes Regions' positioning over the next 12 months in various parallel yield curve shifts (i.e., including all yield curve tenors). The scenarios are inclusive of all interest rate hedging activities. More information regarding hedges is disclosed in Table 22 and its accompanying description. Importantly, outstanding receive-fixed cash flow hedges begin to mature in December 2022. While those maturities are outside of the 12-month horizon of the analysis outlined in Table 21, the hedge maturity profile will begin to add asset sensitivity at a time when markets currently expect the FOMC to begin to increase short-term interest rates. The EnerBank acquisition, which closed October 1, 2021, is excluded from the analysis outlined in Table 21. EnerBank is initially estimated to have little impact on Regions’ interest rate risk position. Over time, as its fixed-rate, brokered time deposit funding matures and fixed-rate loan balances grow, EnerBank is expected to assist Regions in being modestly less asset sensitive. The combined impacts from hedge maturities and the EnerBank acquisition will add rising rate exposure (i.e. increase sensitivity) to the interest rate shocks in Table 21 in 2023 and beyond.

(1) Disclosed interest rate sensitivity levels represent the 12-month forward looking net interest income changes as compared to market forward rate cases and include expected balance sheet growth and remixing. While not included in the table, hedge maturities partially offset by EnerBank impacts are expected to add rising rate exposure by 2023.
(2) All cash flow hedges are fully reflected within the measurement horizon (See Table 23 for additional information regarding hedge maturity dates).
(3) Scenario assumes all deposits (including "surge" deposits) perform consistently with historical experiences.
(4) Scenario accounts for uncertainty in "surge" deposit balances. Assumes a 75% beta on "surge" balances, calculated as legacy deposit growth experienced since February 2020 ($27 billion as of September 2021).
(5) The -100 basis point (floored) scenario represents a rate shock where all rates are floored at historical lows observed during the pandemic.
Regions has established scenarios by which yield curve tenors will fall to a consistent level. The shock magnitude for each tenor, when compared to market forward rates, equates to the lesser of the shock scenario amount, or a rate equal to the historical all-time minimum. Further, the scenarios presented do not allow for negative rates. The falling rate scenarios in Table 21 above quantify the expected impact for both gradual and instantaneous shocks under this environment.
Interest rate movements may also have an impact on the value of Regions’ securities portfolio, which can directly impact the carrying value of shareholders’ equity. Regions from time to time may hedge these price movements with derivatives (as discussed below).
Derivatives —Regions uses financial derivative instruments for management of interest rate sensitivity. ALCO, which consists of members of Regions’ senior management team, in its oversight role for the management of interest rate sensitivity, approves the use of derivatives in balance sheet hedging strategies. Derivatives are also used to offset the risks associated with customer derivatives, which include interest rate, credit and foreign exchange risks. The most common derivatives Regions employs are forward rate contracts, Eurodollar futures contracts, interest rate swaps, options on interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and floors, and forward sale commitments.
Forward rate contracts are commitments to buy or sell financial instruments at a future date at a specified price or yield. A Eurodollar futures contract is a future on a Eurodollar deposit. Eurodollar futures contracts subject Regions to market risk associated with changes in interest rates. Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements typically entered into to exchange fixed for variable rate (or vice versa) streams of interest payments. The notional principal is not exchanged but is used as a reference for the size of interest settlements. Interest rate options are contracts that allow the buyer to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a predetermined price and time. Forward sale commitments are contractual obligations to sell market instruments at a future date for an already agreed-upon price. Foreign currency contracts involve the exchange of one currency for another on a specified date and at a specified rate. These contracts are executed on behalf of the Company's customers and are used by customers to manage fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to the credit risk that another party will fail to perform.
Regions has made use of interest rate swaps and floors in balance sheet hedging strategies to effectively convert a portion of its fixed-rate funding position to a variable-rate position and to effectively convert a portion of its variable-rate loan portfolios to fixed-rate. Regions also uses derivatives to economically manage interest rate and pricing risk associated with its mortgage origination business. In the period of time that elapses between the origination and sale of mortgage loans, changes in interest rates have the potential to cause a decline in the value of the loans in this held-for-sale portfolio. Futures contracts and forward sale commitments are used to protect the value of the loan pipeline and loans held for sale from changes in interest rates and pricing.

_________
(1) Variable rate indexes on swap and floor contracts reference a combination of short-term LIBOR benchmarks, primarily 1-month LIBOR.

As of September 30, 2021, all of the cash flow hedging relationships designated in Table 22 above were active. Total cash flow hedges have a current weighted average maturity of approximately 2.3 years. During the third quarter, Regions shortened a portion of its future hedge exposure to balance its future interest rate risk needs with the evolving macro-economic environment and its changing balance sheet. Swap notionals of $5 billion with a weighted-average life of 4.4 years were re-structured to mature in December 2022. Year-to-date, total notional of $11.3 billion has been replaced with shorter maturity swaps. In addition, longer maturity receive fixed swap termination trades of $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2021 were intended to offset some of the sensitivity impact from adding $2.0 billion fixed-rate securities during the second quarter.
Importantly, the gain on unwound hedges is deferred and amortized into net interest income over the life of the original hedge, creating no change in the expected net interest income profile relative to the discounted future cash flows under market forward rates at the time the hedges are unwound. These changes and the resulting hedge maturity profile allow for an increasing asset sensitive balance sheet position when the FOMC seems more likely to move short-term rates higher. Further, the industry transition away from LIBOR rates is not expected to materially impact either hedge effectiveness or income recognition on the Company's current portfolio of hedges.
The following table presents cash flow hedge notional amounts outstanding at each year-end period. The initial hedge maturities begin in December 2022.

(1) All cash flow hedges active within the 12-month measurement horizon are included in the income sensitivity levels as disclosed in Table 21.
Regions manages the credit risk of these instruments in much the same way as it manages credit risk of the loan portfolios by establishing credit limits for each counterparty and through collateral agreements for dealer transactions. For non-dealer transactions, the need for collateral is evaluated on an individual transaction basis and is primarily dependent on the financial strength of the counterparty. Credit risk is also reduced significantly by entering into legally enforceable master netting agreements. When there is more than one transaction with a counterparty and there is a legally enforceable master netting agreement in place, the exposure represents the net of the gain and loss positions with and collateral received from and/or posted to that counterparty. All hedging interest rate swap derivatives traded by Regions are subject to mandatory clearing. The counterparty risk for cleared trades effectively moves from the executing broker to the clearinghouse allowing Regions to
83
Table of Contents

benefit from the risk mitigation controls in place at the respective clearinghouse. The “Credit Risk” section in Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 contains more information on the management of credit risk.
Regions also uses derivatives to meet the needs of its customers. Interest rate swaps, interest rate options and foreign exchange forwards are the most common derivatives sold to customers. Other derivative instruments with similar characteristics are used to hedge market risk and minimize volatility associated with this portfolio. Instruments used to service customers are held in the trading account, with changes in value recorded in the consolidated statements of income.
The primary objective of Regions’ hedging strategies is to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes, from an economic perspective, on net interest income and the net present value of its balance sheet. The overall effectiveness of these hedging strategies is subject to market conditions, the quality of Regions’ execution, the accuracy of its valuation assumptions, counterparty credit risk and changes in interest rates. See Note 8 "Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities" to the consolidated financial statements for a tabular summary of Regions’ quarter-end derivatives positions and further discussion.
Regions accounts for residential MSRs at fair market value with any changes to fair value being recorded within mortgage income. Regions enters into derivative transactions to economically mitigate the impact of market value fluctuations related to residential MSRs. Derivative instruments entered into in the future could be materially different from the current risk profile of Regions’ current portfolio.
LIBOR TRANSITION
On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that LIBOR will not be available for use after December 31, 2021. Further, existing contracts referencing 1-week or 2-month USD LIBOR settings must be remediated no later than December 31, 2021. Existing contracts referencing all other USD LIBOR settings must be remediated no later than June 30, 2023. Regions holds instruments that may be impacted by the discontinuance of LIBOR, including loans, investments, derivative products, floating-rate obligations, and other financial instruments that use LIBOR as a benchmark rate. However, Regions' LIBOR exposure is primarily in settings other than 1-week or 2-month USD LIBOR. The Company has established a LIBOR Transition Program, which includes dedicated leadership and staff, with all relevant business lines and support groups engaged. As part of this program, the Company continues to identify, assess, and monitor risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR. Steps to mitigate risks associated with the transition are being overseen by Regions’ Executive LIBOR Steering Committee. Regions is following industry efforts to develop alternative reference rates and is operationally ready to offer new benchmarks as they are adopted by regulatory agencies and industry groups.
Regions has taken proactive steps to facilitate the transition on behalf of customers, which include:
• The adoption and ongoing implementation of fallback provisions that provide for the determination of replacement rates for LIBOR-linked financial products.
• The adoption of new products linked to alternative reference rates, such as adjustable-rate mortgages, consistent with guidance provided by the US regulators, ARRC, and GSEs.
• The discontinuation of LIBOR-based commercial lending after mid-September. The Company has already made preparations to provide multiple alternative rates based on market competition and demand. Regions has participated in, evaluated, or made preparations to lend with a number of other indexes, including SOFR, BSBY, and AMERIBOR.
Regions continues to evaluate its financial and operational infrastructure in its effort to transition all financial and strategic processes, systems, and models to reference rates other than LIBOR. Regions has also implemented processes to educate all client-facing associates and coordinate communications with customers regarding the transition.
As of September 30, 2021, Regions had approximately $33.7 billion of total outstanding commercial and investor real estate loans and approximately $1 billion of total consumer loans that reference LIBOR. Regions also has securities within its investment portfolio of $368 million that reference LIBOR. Furthermore, Regions' Series B and C preferred stock reference LIBOR when their dividend rate begins to float after 2023 and had total carrying values of $ 433 million and $ 490 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2021.
In the third quarter of 2020, Regions adopted temporary accounting relief for affected transactions that reference LIBOR. See Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for details.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is an important factor in the financial condition of Regions and sustains Regions’ ability to meet the needs of the Company and its customers. Regions’ goal in liquidity management is to maintain liquidity sources and reserves sufficient to satisfy the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, under normal and stressed conditions. Accordingly, Regions maintains a variety of liquidity sources, as further described below. Furthermore, Regions performs specific procedures,
84
Table of Contents

including scenario analyses and stress testing to evaluate and maintain appropriate levels of available liquidity in alignment with liquidity risk.
Regions' operation of its business provides a generally balanced liquidity base which is comprised of customer assets, consisting principally of loans, and funding provided by customer deposits and borrowed funds. Maturities in the loan portfolio provide a steady flow of funds, and are supplemented by Regions' relatively steady deposit base.
The securities portfolio serves as a primary source and storehouse of liquidity. Proceeds from maturities and principal and interest payments of securities provide a continual flow of funds available for cash needs (see Note 2 "Debt Securities" to the consolidated financial statements). Furthermore, the highly liquid nature of the portfolio (for example, the agency guaranteed MBS portfolio) can be readily used as a source of cash through various secured borrowing arrangements. Cash reserves, liquid assets and secured borrowing capabilities (including borrowing capacity at the FHLB, as discussed below) aid in the management of liquidity in normal and stressed conditions, and/or meeting the need of contingent events such as obligations related to potential litigation. (See Note 11 "Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees" to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of the Company’s funding requirements.) Liquidity needs can also be met by borrowing funds in national money markets, though Regions does maintain limits on short-term unsecured funding due to the volatility that can affect such markets.
The balance with the FRB is the primary component of the balance sheet line item, “interest-bearing deposits in other banks.” At September 30, 2021, Regions had approximately $25.8 billion in cash on deposit with the FRB, an increase from approximately $16.4 billion at December 31, 2020, which has continued to be impacted by deposits associated with government programs offered in relation to COVID-19. Refer to the "Cash and Cash Equivalents" section for more information.
Regions’ borrowing availability with the FRB as of September 30, 2021, based on assets pledged as collateral on that date, was $12.8 billion.
Regions’ financing arrangement with the FHLB adds additional flexibility in managing the Company's liquidity position. As of September 30, 2021, Regions had no FHLB borrowings and its total borrowing capacity from the FHLB totaled approximately $16.2 billion. FHLB borrowing capacity is contingent on the amount of collateral pledged to the FHLB. Regions Bank pledges certain securities and loans as collateral, which comprise its FHLB borrowing capacity. Additionally, investment in FHLB stock is required based on membership and in relation to the level of outstanding borrowings. The FHLB has been and is expected to continue to be a reliable and economical source of funding.
Regions maintains a shelf registration statement with the SEC that can be utilized by Regions to issue various debt and/or equity securities. Additionally, Regions' Board has authorized Regions Bank to issue up to $10 billion in aggregate principal amount of bank notes outstanding at any one time. Refer to Note 12 "Borrowings" to the consolidated financial statements in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Regions may, from time to time, consider opportunistically retiring outstanding issued securities, including subordinated debt in privately negotiated or open market transactions for cash or common shares. Regulatory approval would be required for retirement of some instruments. See Note 5 "Shareholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Regions' liquidity policy requires the holding company to maintain cash sufficient to cover the greater of (1) 18 months of debt service and other cash needs or (2) a minimum cash balance of $500 million. Cash and cash equivalents at the holding company totaled $1.5 billion at September 30, 2021. Overall liquidity risk limits are established by the Board through its Risk Appetite Statement and Liquidity Policy. The Company's Board, LROC and ALCO regularly review compliance with the established limits.
CREDIT RISK
Regions’ objective regarding credit risk is to maintain a credit portfolio that provides for stable credit costs with acceptable volatility through an economic cycle. Regions has various processes to manage credit risk as described below. In order to assess the risk profile of the loan portfolio, Regions considers risk factors within the loan portfolio segments and classes, the current U.S. economic environment and that of its primary banking markets, as well as counterparty risk. See the “Portfolio Characteristics” section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a discussion of risk characteristics of each loan type.
INFORMATION SECURITY RISK
Regions faces information security risks, such as evolving and adaptive cyber attacks that are conducted regularly against Regions and other large financial institutions to compromise or disable information systems, which have increased in recent years. This trend is expected to continue for a number of reasons, including increases in technology-based products and services used by us and our customers, the growing use of mobile, cloud, and other emerging technologies, and the increasing sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, nation-states, activists and other external parties or fraud on the part of employees.
85
Table of Contents

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Regions has experienced a modest increase in cyber events, such as phishing attacks and malicious traffic from outside the United States. However, the Company's layered control environment has effectively detected and prevented any material impact related to these events.
Even when Regions successfully prevents cyber attacks to its own network, the Company may still incur losses that result from customers' account information being obtained through breaches of retailers' networks that enable customer transactions. The related fraud losses, as well as the costs of re-issuing new cards, may impact Regions' financial results. In addition, Regions also relies on some vendors to provide certain business infrastructure components, and although Regions actively assesses and monitors the information security capabilities of these vendors, Regions' reliance on them may also increase exposure to information security risk.
In the event of a cyber attack or other data breach, Regions may be required to incur significant expenses, including with respect to remediation costs, costs of implementing additional preventative measures, addressing any reputational harm and addressing any related regulatory inquiries or civil litigation arising from the event. Refer to the "Information Security Risk" section in Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further discussion of Regions' information security risk.
PROVISION FOR (BENEFIT FROM) CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for (benefit from) credit losses is used to maintain the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit losses at a level that in management’s judgment is appropriate to absorb expected credit losses over the contractual life of the loan and credit commitment portfolio at the balance sheet date. The benefit from credit losses totaled $155 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the provision for credit losses of $113 million during the third quarter of 2020. The benefit from credit losses totaled $634 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the provision for credit losses of $1.4 billion for the first nine months of 2020. Refer to the "Allowance" section for further detail.

(1) The 2021 amount is a gain on the sale of an equity investment, whereas the 2020 amount is a valuation gain on the investment that was sold in the first quarter 2021.

Service charges on deposit accounts— Service charges on deposit accounts include non-sufficient fund and overdraft fees, corporate analysis service charges, overdraft protection fees and other customer transaction-related service charges. The increases during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods of 2020 were the result of elevated consumer spending in 2021 as the pace of economic activity continued to accelerate. While service charge revenue improved, changes to customer spending behaviors as a result of the pandemic, combined with enhancements to overdraft practices and transaction posting procedures, are expected to keep service charges approximately ten to fifteen percent below pre-pandemic levels. See the "Third Quarter Overview" section for further detail.
Card and ATM fees— Card and ATM fees include the combined amounts of credit card/bank card income and debit card and ATM related revenue. Card and ATM fees increased in both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods of 2020, driven by increased debit card spending and transaction volume.

Mortgage income— Mortgage income is generated through the origination and servicing of residential mortgage loans for long-term investors and sales of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market. The decrease in mortgage income in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was due primarily to lower mortgage refinance production. The decrease in mortgage income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was due to lower mortgage refinance production in the second and third quarters compared to the elevated production volume experienced in the same periods in 2020, as well as losses on mortgage servicing rights and related economic hedges.
Capital markets income— Capital markets income primarily relates to capital raising activities that include securities underwriting and placement, loan syndication, as well as foreign exchange, derivatives, merger and acquisition and other advisory services. Capital markets income increased in the third quarter of 2021 and the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to increases in merger and acquisition advisory fees and loan syndication revenue. Additionally, capital markets income for the nine months ended 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 benefited from increases in securities and underwriting placement fees and fees generated from the placement of permanent financing for real estate.
Investment management and trust fee income— Investment management and trust fee income represents income from asset management services provided to individuals, businesses and institutions. Investment management and trust fee income increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods of 2020 due primarily to favorable market conditions and an increase in sales.
Bank-owned life insurance— Bank-owned life insurance income primarily represents income earned from the appreciation of the cash surrender value of insurance contracts held and the proceeds of insurance benefits. Bank-owned life insurance increased during the the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 due primarily to an $18 million individual BOLI claim benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2021.
Investment services fee income— Investment services fee income represents income earned from investment advisory services. Investment services fee income increased during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods of 2020 due primarily to stronger financial advisor production and favorable market conditions.
Commercial credit fee income— Commercial credit fee income includes letters of credit fees and unused commercial commitment fees. Commercial credit fee income increased during the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 primarily driven by an increase in unused commercial line fees. While line utilization reached an inflection point in the second quarter of 2021, overall credit line utilization remains lower than the same period of 2020.
Securities gains (losses), net— Net securities gains (losses) primarily result from the Company's asset/liability management process. See Table 1 "Debt Securities" section for additional information.
Market value adjustments on employee benefit assets— Market value adjustments on employee benefit assets are the reflection of market value variations related to assets held for certain employee benefits. The adjustments are offset in salaries and benefits.
Other miscellaneous income —Other miscellaneous income includes net revenue from affordable housing, valuation adjustments to equity investments (other than the item shown separately above), fees from safe deposit boxes, check fees and other miscellaneous income. Net revenue from affordable housing includes actual gains and losses resulting from the sale of affordable housing investments, cash distributions from the investments and any related impairment charges. Other miscellaneous income increased in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods of 2020 primarily due to increases in commercial loan and leasing related fee income generated from the 2020 acquisition of Ascentium, SBIC income and increases in the values of certain other equity investments.

Salaries and employee benefits— Salaries and employee benefits consist of salaries, incentive compensation, long-term incentives, payroll taxes, and other employee benefits such as 401(k), pension, and medical, life and disability insurance, as well as, expenses from liabilities held for employee benefit purposes. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, salaries and benefits expense increased compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily driven by higher variable-based compensation associated with elevated fee income. Also contributing to the increase for the first nine months of 2021 was an increase in 401(k) and other benefits expenses as a result of positive market valuation adjustments,. A decline in base salaries in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 partially offset the increases in total salaries and benefits expense. Full-time equivalent headcount decreased to 18,963 at September 30, 2021 from 19,766 at September 30, 2020, reflecting the continuing impact of the Company's efficiency initiatives implemented as part of its strategic priorities.
Outside services— Outside services consists of expenses related to routine services provided by third parties, such as contract labor, servicing costs, data processing, loan pricing and research, data license purchases, data subscriptions, and check printing. Outside services decreased during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 due primarily to Regions exiting a third party lending relationship.

Credit/Checkcard expenses— Credit/Checkcard expenses include credit and checkcard fraud and expenses. Credit/checkcard increased in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to an increase in debit card fraud.
Branch consolidation, property and equipment charges— Branch consolidation, property and equipment charges include valuation adjustments related to owned branches when the decision to close them is made. Accelerated depreciation and lease write-off charges are recorded for leased branches through and at the actual branch close date. Branch consolidation, property and equipment charges also include costs related to occupancy optimization initiatives.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt— During the third quarter of 2021, Regions redeemed its 3.80% senior bank notes and incurred related early extinguishment pre-tax charges totaling $20 million. During the first nine months of 2020, Regions incurred early extinguishment charges of $8 million related to the redemption of two Regions Bank senior notes and early terminations of FHLB advances.
Other miscellaneous expenses— Other miscellaneous expenses include expenses related to communications, postage, supplies, certain credit-related costs, foreclosed property expenses, mortgage repurchase costs, operational losses and other costs (benefits) related to employee benefit plans.
INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $180 million compared to $104 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in effective tax rates of 21.7 percent and 16.5 percent, respectively. The income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $591 million compared to $99 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in effective tax rates of 22.1 percent and 17.1 percent, respectively. The Company expects the full-year tax rate to range from approximately 22 percent to 23 percent for 2021, excluding the impact of unanticipated discrete items and the impact of potential tax legislation.
The effective tax rate is affected by many factors including, but not limited to, the level of pre-tax income, the mix of income between various tax jurisdictions with differing tax rates, enacted tax legislation, net tax benefits related to affordable housing investments, bank-owned life insurance income, tax-exempt interest and nondeductible expenses. In addition, the effective tax rate is affected by items that may occur in any given period but are not consistent from period-to-period, such as the termination of certain leveraged leases, share-based payments, valuation allowance changes and changes to unrecognized tax benefits. Accordingly, the comparability of the effective tax rate between periods may be impacted.
At September 30, 2021, the Company reported a net deferred tax liability of $430 million compared to a net deferred tax liability of $505 million at December 31, 2020 . The decrease in the net deferred tax liability was primarily due to the decrease in unrealized gains on available for sale securities and derivative instruments, which was partially offset by a decrease in the deferred tax asset related to allowance for loan losses.
ASCENTIUM ACQUISITION
On April 1, 2020, Regions completed its acquisition of an equipment finance company Ascentium Capital, LLC. The acquisition gives Regions the ability to increase business loans and leases to small business customers using Ascentium's tech-enabled same-day credit decision and funding capabilities.
As a result of the acquisition Regions recorded approximately $2.4 billion of assets and assumed $1.9 billion of liabilities. Of the total assets acquired, $1.9 billion were loans and leases that are included in Regions' commercial and industrial loan portfolio. Of the liabilities assumed, $1.8 billion were long-term borrowings. Regions subsequently paid down a significant portion of the borrowings, and as of September 30, 2021, $30 million of long-term debt remained. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair value.
Of the loans acquired, a portion were determined to be credit deteriorated on the date of purchase. Purchased loans that have experienced a more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are considered to be credit deteriorated. PCD loans are initially recorded at purchase price less the ALLL recognized at acquisition. Subsequent credit loss activity is recorded within the provision for credit losses.
Regions recorded PCD loans of $873 million as a result of the acquisition, which was reflective of a nominal discount. Regions recorded an ALLL related to these loans of $60 million, which was included in the total acquired asset value as part of the acquisition. The non-credit discount related to Ascentium's PCD loans and the fair value mark on non-PCD loans were immaterial.
In conjunction with the acquisition, Regions initially recognized goodwill of $348 million and other intangible assets of $47 million. Purchase accounting adjustments of $16 million reduced goodwill during the measurement period. Intangible assets are comprised of trademarks, customer lists and other intangibles. Intangible assets will be amortized over the expected useful life of each recognized asset.
