CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES
The Bank has made no significant changes in its critical accounting policies and significant estimates from those disclosed in its 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Accounting and Reporting Developments
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13,
Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
. This new Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") standard, including subsequent updates, significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for virtually all financial assets. The standard replaces today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments such as loans and held-to-maturity (“HTM”) securities that are measured at amortized cost. The standard requires credit losses relating to available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities to be recorded through an allowance rather than a reduction of the carrying amount and replaces the historically required other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) analysis. It also changes the accounting for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The standard retains many of the current disclosure requirements in U.S. generally accepted accounting
5
principles (“GAAP”) and expands other disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for calendar year-end public companies beginning January 1, 2020.
During the first and second quarters of 2019, we ran limited parallel runs. During the third quarter, we ran a more complete parallel run including additional analytics, controls, and a parallel governance process. A set of controls, including management review controls, implementation controls, data, model, and forecasting controls has been established. Next steps include further testing of controls and developing disclosures. We will continue to evaluate and refine our loss estimates throughout 2019.
Based on our most recent parallel run, we estimate that the impact of the standard on the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") as of September 30, 2019, would have been within a range of a 15% decrease to a 5% increase. We generally expect the ACL to be lower for commercial loans, and higher for longer duration consumer loans. We expect that the ACL related to HTM securities will be immaterial as the portfolio consists entirely of municipal securities with low expected losses. This estimate is subject to change based on continuing review of the models, assumptions, methodologies and judgments.
The impact of the ASU at adoption will be influenced by the portfolio composition and credit quality, macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that time, as well as other management judgments. We expect more volatility in the credit loss estimate under CECL than under the current accounting requirements.
The Bank will adopt this guidance beginning January 1, 2020. Transition to the new ASU will be through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of January 1, 2020.
GAAP to NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
This Form 10-Q presents non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to provide investors with additional information. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are presented in the following schedules. The Bank considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results and provide a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance and financial position of the Bank and for presentations of Bank performance to investors. The Bank further believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Bank on the same basis as that applied by management.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, and are not required to be uniformly applied by individual entities. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
The following are non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Form 10-Q and a discussion of the reasons for which management uses these non-GAAP measures:
Return on Average Tangible Common Equity
– this schedule also includes “net earnings applicable to common shareholders, excluding the effects of the adjustment, net of tax” and “average tangible common equity.” Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides useful information to management and others about the Bank’s use of shareholders’ equity. Management believes the use of ratios that utilize tangible equity provides additional useful information because they present measures of those assets that can generate income.

Tangible Equity Ratio, Tangible Common Equity Ratio, and Tangible Book Value per Common Share
– this schedule also includes “tangible equity,” “tangible common equity,” and “tangible assets.” Tangible equity ratio, tangible common equity ratio, and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provides additional useful information about the levels of tangible assets and tangible equity between each other and in relation to outstanding shares of common stock. Management believes the use of ratios that utilize tangible equity provides additional useful information to management and others about capital adequacy because they present measures of those assets that can generate income.

Efficiency Ratio and Adjusted Pre-Provision Net Revenue
– this schedule also includes “adjusted noninterest expense,” “taxable-equivalent net interest income,” “adjusted taxable-equivalent revenue,” “pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”),” and “adjusted PPNR.” The methodology of determining the efficiency ratio may differ among companies. Management makes adjustments to exclude certain items as identified in the subsequent schedule which it believes allows for more consistent comparability among periods. Management believes the efficiency ratio provides useful information regarding the cost of generating revenue. Adjusted noninterest expense provides a measure as to how well the Bank is managing its expenses, and adjusted PPNR enables management and others to assess the Bank’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle. Taxable-equivalent net interest income allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.

Adjusted Pre-Provision Net Revenue per Diluted Common Share
– this schedule uses “adjusted PPNR” as
calculated in the efficiency ratio, which is divided by the weighted average diluted common shares for the period. As mentioned previously, Management believes that adjusted PPNR enables management and others to assess the
Bank’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle. Dividing this amount by the weighted
average diluted common shares outstanding provides a shareholder’s perspective of PPNR growth.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Summary
The Bank reported net earnings applicable to common shareholders of $214 million, or $1.17 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2019, compared with net earnings applicable to common shareholders of $215 million, or $1.04 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2018. The improvement in diluted earnings per common share was primarily due to a reduction in diluted shares, resulting largely from our common share repurchases.
The financial performance in the third quarter of 2019 reflects moderate loan growth, solid demand and interest-bearing deposit growth, strong customer-related fee improvement, solid expense control, and slightly improved credit quality, partially offset by net interest margin compression. During the third quarter of 2019, net interest margin compression remained a challenge as loan and security yields declined and the total cost of deposits increased slightly from the second quarter of 2019. Loan yields reflected the recent decline in short-term rates and deposit costs, which remain low, reacted more slowly due to competitive pricing pressure.
Net income decreased slightly by $1 million from $223 million in the third quarter of 2018 to $222 million in the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to a $21 million increase in the provision for credit losses, a $9 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, and a $7 million decrease in dividends and other income. These decreases to net income were partially offset by a $11 million decrease in FDIC premiums, a $9 million increase in capital markets and foreign exchange fees, and a $4 million increase in loan-related fees and income.
Net income for the first nine months of 2019 was $633 million, compared with $658 million for the first nine months of 2018. The provision for credit losses increased by $81 million during this period to $35 million from ($46) million and was the primary reason for the decrease in net income. The negative provision for credit losses for the first nine months of 2018 was primarily due to improving credit quality at that time, particularly in the oil and gas-related portfolio and net recoveries. The increase in the provision for credit losses was partially offset by a $59 million increase in net interest income from the first nine months of 2018 to the first nine months of 2019.
Net interest income increased from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019 primarily from loan growth and increases in interest rates earned on interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase in interest expense. Customer-related fees increased by $14 million, or 11%, during the same period primarily due to an increase in fees for customer interest rate swap income.
Adjusted PPNR of $309 million for the third quarter of 2019 was up $18 million, or 6%, from the third quarter of 2018. The increase in PPNR reflects operating leverage improvement resulting from the same factors previously discussed. Adjusted noninterest expense was flat during the same period. The Bank’s efficiency ratio was 57.3% in the third quarter of 2019 compared with 58.8% in the third quarter of 2018 and 59.0% in the second quarter of 2019. See “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” on page 6 for more information regarding the calculation of adjusted PPNR.
As part of our continued focus on noninterest expenses, in October 2019, the Bank announced a 5% workforce reduction that will occur during the fourth quarter of 2019 and the closure of 15 branches over the next several quarters. As a result of this reduction in staffing, we expect noninterest expense will increase in the fourth quarter of
9
2019 from severance and related employment costs of approximately $25 million. Branch closing costs and other efficiency-related cost accelerations will be recognized in the next several quarters.
Our average loan portfolio increased $3.5 billion, or 8%, since the third quarter of 2018. We have seen widespread loan growth across most products and geographies, with particular strength in commercial and industrial, municipal, commercial real estate, and 1-4 family residential loans. Overall, from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019, criticized and classified loans increased by $133 million and $15 million, respectively, while nonaccrual loans declined by $55 million. The ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans was 0.01% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to (0.01%) for the third quarter of 2018.
Areas of focus for 2019
In 2019, we are focused on ongoing initiatives related to Bank profitability, including more focus on noninterest income, returns on- and of-equity, and the reduction of earnings volatility. We are working to achieve earnings growth through positive operating leverage and achieved a 6% growth in adjusted PPNR from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019. The 5% reduction in staffing and a closure of 15 branches previously discussed reflects our focus on noninterest expenses and more closely aligning them with projected revenues. However, we will continue to develop digital strategies, implement technology upgrades, replace our primary deposit systems, and enhance process simplification to ensure current and future performance, with emphasis on automation and simple, easy, fast, safe processes. During the first quarter of 2019, the Bank successfully implemented the second phase of its three-phase multi-year project to replace its core loan and deposit systems. With this milestone reached, we now have substantially all of our in-scope retail, commercial, and commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans on a new modern core platform.
We are also focused on reducing potential earnings volatility and are actively adjusting our interest rate risk profile to move towards a more neutral interest-rate sensitive position and to protect net income against a decline in interest rates. During the first six months of 2019, we added interest rate floors to our interest rate hedging program, and during the third quarter of 2019 we converted these out-of-the-money interest rate floors into $2.0 billion in notional amount of interest rate swaps to more effectively hedge the emerging near-term decline in net interest income. See “Interest Rate and Market Risk Management” on page 27 for further information regarding our interest rate risk management and Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our use of derivative instruments.
We continue to focus on the return on- and of- capital. During the last 12 months we have repurchased $1.1 billion, or 23.1 million shares, of common stock which is equivalent to 12% of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2018. The share repurchases have resulted in higher returns being provided to shareholders. For example, adjusted PPNR per diluted common share was $1.70 in the third quarter of 2019, a 21% increase from the third quarter of 2018. Also, capital distributed as a percentage of net earnings applicable to common shareholders increased to 157% during the third quarter of 2019 from 113% during the third quarter of 2018. In October 2019, the Board approved a plan to repurchase $275 million of Bank common stock during the fourth quarter of 2019 and declared a dividend of $0.34 per common share during the fourth quarter of 2019. The elevated level of common stock repurchases we executed during the past several quarters, and announced for the fourth quarter of 2019, will moderate in the near term as we approach our target capital amounts and ratios. See “Areas of focus for 2019” in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of the major areas of emphasis in 2019.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income increased to $567 million in the third quarter of 2019 from $565 million in the third quarter of 2018. The $2 million increase was primarily due to a $44 million increase in interest and fees on loans mostly from loan growth, offset by an increase in interest expense.
Interest expense increased $44 million from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019 due to an increase in deposits and borrowed funds and an increase in rates paid on deposits. The Bank’s use of short- and long-term
10
borrowings increased $1.9 billion, or 41% and the Bank’s cost of total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities increased from 0.45% to 0.71%.
Net Interest Margin and Interest Rate Spreads
The net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased to 3.48% in the third quarter of 2019, compared with 3.63% in the same prior year period and 3.54% in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in NIM from the prior year period was a result of increased costs of deposits and borrowed funds, which more than offset improved loan and securities yields. NIM decreased from the second quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to a decrease in loan and securities yields, partially offset by a decrease in the cost borrowed funds. We expect that the NIM will compress further in the next several quarters, to the extent short-term market rates continue to decline.
Average interest-earning assets increased $3.2 billion from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019, with average rates improving 9 basis points ("bps"). When adjusted for interest recoveries of $3 million in the third quarter of 2018, using $1 million per loan as the reporting threshold, the yield on interest-earning assets increased 11 bps. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $4.2 billion during this same period, while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased 37 bps.
The average loan portfolio increased $3.5 billion, or 8%, between the third quarter of 2018 and the third quarter of 2019, with growth across all loan segments. The average loan yield increased 4 bps over the same period, with a 5 bps decrease in the average rate for commercial loans and increases in the average rates for CRE and consumer loans of 9 bps, and 15 bps, respectively. Benchmark interest rates have decreased in 2019 after increasing in 2018, and this decline has had a negative impact on yields. As rates have fallen our earning assets generally reprice quicker than our funding sources, so the impact of these rate changes is reflected over time on a delayed basis. A portion of our variable-rate loans were not affected by these changes primarily due to having longer reset frequencies, or because a substantial portion of our earning assets are tied to longer-term rate indices. The longer-term rates were impacted by a relatively flat yield curve during the last several quarters. Over the next four quarters, we expect overall moderate total loan growth, which is slightly lower than year-over-year loan growth.
Average AFS securities balances decreased by $269 million from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019. Yields on average AFS securities increased by 9 bps over the same period.
The NIM continues to benefit from the stability of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, which provides us with low cost funding and comprised 42% and 45% of average total deposits for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $615 million, or 3%. Average total deposits were $55.3 billion for the third quarter of 2019 compared with $53.6 billion for the third quarter of 2018. Average interest-bearing deposits grew 8% and were $31.9 billion in the third quarter of 2019, compared with $29.6 billion for the same prior year period. The daily average benchmark Federal Funds target rate decreased slightly from 2.32% to 2.31% between the third quarters of 2018 and the third quarter of 2019, or 1 basis point, while the rate paid on the Bank’s average interest-bearing deposits increased 34 bps, and the rate paid on total average deposits increased 22 bps due to the previously mentioned delayed impacts on pricing.
We are actively monitoring and managing deposits, and have been reducing deposit rates since mid-2019, as benchmark Federal Funds interest rates have decreased. Our cost of total deposits increased just 1 basis point relative to the prior quarter, and we expect the cost of deposits to decline in the fourth quarter of 2019 relative to the third quarter due to ongoing efforts to better align deposit costs with lower market rates.
Although we consider a wide variety of sources when determining our funding needs, we benefit from access to deposits from a significant number of small to mid-sized business customers, which provide us with a low cost of funds and have a positive impact on our NIM. Because many of our deposit accounts are of an operating nature for businesses and households, we expect our noninterest-bearing deposits to remain a competitive advantage. Further information regarding deposit assumptions is discussed in “Interest Rate and Market Risk Management” on page 27.
11
Average borrowed funds increased $1.9 billion from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019, with average short-term borrowings increasing $1.2 billion and average long-term borrowings increasing by $0.7 billion. The average interest rate paid on borrowed funds increased by 11 bps during the same period as a result of higher short-term interest rates. Average borrowed funds were $6.5 billion for the first nine months of 2019, compared with $5.3 billion for the first nine months of 2018, while the average interest rate paid increased by 58 bps between these time periods.
The spread on average interest-bearing funds was 3.01% and 3.29% for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The spread on average interest-bearing funds for these periods was affected by the same factors that impacted the NIM. Compared to the decline of 28 bps on the spread on average interest-bearing funds, the NIM decreased only 15 bps as a result of the value of noninterest-bearing demand deposits.
Interest rate spreads and margin are impacted by the mix of assets we hold, the composition of our loan and securities portfolios, and the type of funding used. Additionally, if interest rates increase, our noninterest-bearing demand deposits become more valuable. In the third quarter of 2019, our noninterest-bearing sources of funds contributed 47 bps to the margin, compared with 34 bps in the third quarter of 2018. We expect the mix of interest-earning assets to continue to change over the next four quarters primarily due to overall modest loan growth with particular strength in commercial and industrial, owner-occupied, municipal, and 1-4 family residential loans, and stable-to-moderate growth in oil and gas and commercial real estate loans.
Our estimates of the Bank’s interest rate risk position are highly dependent upon a number of assumptions regarding the repricing behavior of various deposit and loan types in response to changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates, balance sheet composition, and other modeling assumptions, as well as the actions of competitors and customers in response to those changes. Further detail on interest rate risk is discussed in “Interest Rate and Market Risk Management” on page 27.
The following schedule summarizes the average balances, the amount of interest earned or incurred, and the applicable yields for interest-earning assets and the costs of interest-bearing liabilities that generate taxable-equivalent net interest income.

Provision for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") is the combination of both the allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments ("RULC"). The ALLL represents the estimated probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The RULC represents the estimated reserve for potential losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments. Changes in the ALLL and RULC are recorded in the provision for loan losses and the provision for unfunded lending commitments in the income statement, respectively.
The ACL increased $34 million to $572 million at September 30, 2019, compared with $538 million at September 30, 2018. The ALLL increased by $30 million to $510 million at September 30, 2019, compared with $480 million at September 30, 2018, or 1.04% and 1.05% of loans and leases, respectively. The increased ACL from the prior year period is primarily due to loan growth and an increase in the qualitative portion of the allowance related to general economic indicators.
The provision for credit losses, which is the combination of both the provision for loan losses and the provision for unfunded lending commitments, was $10 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared with $(11) million in the third quarter of 2018. The provision for loan losses was $8 million during the third quarter of 2019 and $(11) million during the third quarter 2018. The provision for unfunded lending commitments was $2 million during the third quarter of 2019 and less than $1 million during the third quarter 2018. From quarter to quarter, the provision for unfunded lending commitments may be subject to sizable fluctuations due to changes in the timing and volume of loan commitments, originations, fundings, and changes in credit quality.
Note 6 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Credit Risk Management” on page 22 contains information on how we determine the appropriate level for the ALLL and the RULC.
The allowance for credit losses will be impacted by the adoption of CECL, which replaces today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments such as loans and HTM securities that are measured at amortized cost. For more information see "Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates" on page 5.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income represents revenues we earn for products and services that have no associated interest rate or yield. Effective October 1, 2019, we made certain financial reporting changes and reclassifications to noninterest income in our Consolidated Statements of Income. These changes and reclassifications were adopted on a retrospective basis. The changes and reclassifications reflect changes only to noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and do not impact net income, net interest income or noninterest expense. We believe a subtotal of customer-related fees provides a good view of income over which we have more direct control. It excludes items such as dividends, insurance-related income, mark-to-market adjustments on certain derivatives, and securities gains and losses. For the third quarter of 2019, noninterest income increased $10 million, or 7%, compared with the third quarter of 2018. The following schedule presents a comparison of the major components of noninterest income.

Customer-related fees increased $14 million, or 11%, from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019 and was largely attributable to a $7 million increase in fees for client interest rate swap activity. Loan-related fees and income increased by $4 million, primarily due to an increase in volume of mortgage loan originations and sales to government-sponsored entities. Dividends and other income decreased by $7 million primarily due to a valuation adjustment on client-related interest rate swaps in the third quarter of 2019. As a result of the decline in interest rates during 2019 and increased client activity during the quarter, these client-related interest rate swaps significantly increased in value, resulting in the Bank having a larger exposure to the clients and a $6 million valuation adjustment in the third quarter of 2019, compared with less than $1 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Customer-related fees increased $15 million, or 4%, from the first nine months of 2018 to the first nine months of 2019. Other significant items impacting noninterest income for the first nine months of 2019 not previously discussed was a $3 million decrease in commercial account fees and a $4 million increase in wealth management and trust fees. The decrease in commercial account fees was primarily due to an unfavorable impact from the earnings credit rate associated with noninterest-bearing demand deposits and softness in retail and small business service charges. Wealth management and trust fees increased by $4 million and is primarily due to increased corporate and personal trust fee income.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense decreased by $5 million, or 1%, from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted noninterest expense decreased $1 million over the same period. This 1% decrease is within our targeted growth rate of low single-digit percentage range relative to the prior year. The following schedule presents a comparison of the major components of noninterest expense.

For information on non-GAAP financial measures see “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” on page 6
FDIC premiums decreased $11 million primarily due to the elimination of the FDIC surcharge for large banks because the required Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio has been met and the Bank issuing unsecured debt which results in lower FDIC premiums. Other real estate expense and credit-related expense both decreased by $3 million.
The aforementioned decreases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a $9 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $4 million increase in furniture, equipment and software expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to a $13 million increase in base salaries, resulting from annual salary merit increases and increased employee headcount and a $2 million increase in employee benefits, partially offset by an $8 million decrease in incentive compensation. Furniture, equipment and software expense increased primarily as a result of the successful implementation of our Core Transformation Project to replace our commercial loan systems, and has subsequently resulted in increased amortization expense of the capitalized technology costs.
The Bank’s efficiency ratio was 57.3% in the third quarter of 2019 compared with 58.8% in the third quarter of 2018 and 59.0% in the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2019 decreased $1 million to $415 million, compared with $416 million for the same prior year period. To arrive at adjusted noninterest expense, GAAP noninterest expense is adjusted to exclude certain expense items, which are the same as those items excluded in arriving at the efficiency ratio (see “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” on page 6 for more information regarding the calculation of the efficiency ratio).
As previously discussed, in October 2019, the Bank announced a 5% workforce reduction during the fourth quarter of 2019 and a closure of 15 branches over the next several quarters. As a result of this reduction in staffing, we expect noninterest expense will increase in the fourth quarter of 2019 from severance and related employment costs of approximately $25 million. Branch closing costs and other efficiency-related cost accelerations will be recognized in the next several quarters. Also, as we have previously disclosed, we are in the process of eliminating our defined benefit pension plan, which is expected to result in a onetime charge of approximately $25 million to $30 million, likely toward the middle of 2020. The current estimate of this expense is subject to change depending upon a number of factors including plan performance, participant elections between lump-sum distribution options and an annuity option, and market competitiveness in the annuity bid process. Excluding the expected severance, branch closing, pension termination, and other efficiency-related cost acceleration expenses, we expect adjusted noninterest expense for 2019 to experience an increase in the low single-digit percentage range relative to the prior year. We expect 2020 expenses to be level with, or slightly reduced from 2019 results, excluding the expected pension termination expense, severance and other restructuring expenses.
Noninterest expense increased by $11 million, or 1%, from the first nine months of 2018 to the first nine months of 2019. This increase was a result of the same factors as the increase from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019.
17
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2019 was $66 million compared with $69 million for the same prior year period. The effective income tax rates were 22.9% and 23.6% for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Income tax expense for the first nine months of 2019 was $185 million compared with $195 million for the same prior year period. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018 were 22.6% and 22.9%, respectively. Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contains additional information about the factors that influenced the income tax rates and information about deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Preferred Stock Dividends
Preferred stock dividends have been consistent over the past year and were $8 million for both the third quarters of 2019 and 2018 and $25 million for both the first nine months of 2019 and 2018.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Interest-Earning Assets
Interest-earning assets are those assets that have interest rates or yields associated with them. One of our goals is to maintain a high level of interest-earning assets relative to total assets while keeping non-earning assets at a minimum. Interest-earning assets consist of money market investments, securities, loans, and leases.
For information regarding the average balances of our interest-earning assets, the amount of revenue generated by them, and their respective yields, see the average balance sheet on page 13.
Average interest-earning assets were $65 billion for the first nine months of 2019, compared with $62.3 billion for the first nine months of 2018. Average interest-earning assets as a percentage of total average assets for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018 were 93% and 94%, respectively.
Average loans were $48.1 billion and $45.2 billion for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Average loans as a percentage of total average assets for the first nine months of 2019 were 69%, compared with 68% in the same prior year period.
Average money market investments, consisting of interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold, and security resell agreements, decreased by 5% to $1.3 billion for the first nine months of 2019, compared with $1.4 billion for the first nine months of 2018. Average securities decreased by 1% for the first nine months of 2019, compared with the first nine months of 2018.
Investment Securities Portfolio
We invest in securities to actively manage liquidity and interest rate risk, in addition to generating revenue for the Bank. Refer to the “Liquidity Risk Management” section on page 32 for additional information on management of liquidity and funding. The following schedule presents a profile of our investment securities portfolio. The amortized cost amounts represent the original cost of the investments, adjusted for related accumulated amortization or accretion of any yield adjustments, and for impairment losses, including credit-related impairment. The estimated fair value measurement levels and methodology are discussed in Note 3
of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The amortized cost of investment securities at September 30, 2019 decreased by 7% from the balances at December 31, 2018. Approximately 33% of the investment securities are floating rate as of September 30, 2019.
The investment securities portfolio includes $365 million of net premium that is distributed across various asset classes as illustrated in the preceding schedule. Premium amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2019, was $33 million, compared with $35 million for the same period in 2018, reducing the yield on securities by 87 bps compared with a 90 bps impact for the same period in 2018.
As of September 30, 2019, under the GAAP fair value accounting hierarchy, 0.2% of the $14 billion fair value of the AFS securities portfolio was valued at Level 1, 99.8% was valued at Level 2, and there were no Level 3 AFS securities. At December 31, 2018, 0.3% of the $14.7 billion fair value of AFS securities portfolio was valued at Level 1, 99.7% was valued at Level 2, and there were no Level 3 AFS securities. See Note 3 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of fair value accounting.
Exposure to State and Local Governments
We provide multiple products and services to state and local governments (referred to collectively as “municipalities”), including deposit services, loans, and investment banking services, and we invest in securities issued by the municipalities.

Loan portfolio growth during the first nine months of 2019 continued to be widespread across loan products and geographies with particular strength in
municipal, construction and land development, term commercial real estate, consumer 1-4 family residential, and commercial owner-occupied. The growth in the loan portfolio during the first nine months of 2019 was primarily at Amegy Bank (“Amegy”) and Zions Bank.
Other Noninterest-Bearing Investments
During the first nine months of 2019, the Bank decreased its short-term borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) by $1.35 billion. This decrease also led to a $54 million decrease in FHLB activity stock. Aside from this decrease, and a decrease in Federal Reserve stock, other noninterest-bearing investments remained relatively stable as set forth in the following schedule.

Premises, Equipment, and Software
Net premises, equipment, and software increased $22 million, or 2.0%, during the first nine months of 2019. In 2017, the Bank implemented the first phase of our core lending and deposit systems replacement project, which replaced the Bank’s primary consumer lending systems. During the first quarter of 2019, the Bank successfully implemented the second phase of this project by replacing its primary commercial and commercial real estate lending systems. With this milestone reached, we now have substantially all our retail, commercial and commercial real estate loans on a new modern core platform. The Bank is well underway with the project to convert its deposit servicing system by 2022. The total core replacement project spend amount is comprised of both capitalized amounts and amounts that are expensed as incurred. The useful life for most of the capitalized costs is 10 years. The following schedule shows the total amount of costs capitalized, less accumulated depreciation, by phase for the core replacement project.

Deposits
Deposits, both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing, are a primary source of funding for the Bank. Average total deposits for the first nine months of 2019 increased by 3%, compared with the first nine months of 2018, with average interest-bearing deposits increasing by 7% and average noninterest-bearing deposits decreasing by 2%. The average interest rate paid for interest-bearing deposits was 42 bps higher during the first nine months of 2019, compared with the first nine months of 2018.
Demand, savings, and money market deposits were 91% and 92% of total deposits at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total deposits included $2.4 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, of brokered deposits.
See “Liquidity Risk Management” on page 32 for additional information on funding and borrowed funds.
RISK ELEMENTS
Since risk is inherent in substantially all of the Bank’s operations, management of risk is an integral part of its operations and is also a key determinant of its overall performance. The Board of Directors has appointed a Risk Oversight Committee (“ROC”) that consists of appointed Board members who oversee the Bank’s risk management processes. The ROC meets on a regular basis to monitor and review Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) activities. As required by its charter, the ROC performs oversight for various ERM activities and approves ERM policies and activities as detailed in the ROC charter.
Management applies various strategies to reduce the risks to which the Bank’s operations are exposed, including credit, interest rate and market, liquidity, and operational risks. These risks are overseen by the various management
21
committees of which the Enterprise Risk Management Committee is the focal point for the monitoring and review of enterprise risk.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is the possibility of loss from the failure of a borrower, guarantor, or another obligor to fully perform under the terms of a credit-related contract. Credit risk arises primarily from our lending activities, as well as from off-balance sheet credit instruments. For a more comprehensive discussion of credit risk management, see “Credit Risk Management” in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Government Agency Guaranteed Loans
We participate in various guaranteed lending programs sponsored by U.S. government agencies, such as the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), Federal Housing Authority, Veterans’ Administration, Export-Import Bank of the U.S., and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. As of September 30, 2019, the principal balance of these loans was $576 million, and the guaranteed portion of these loans was $432 million. Most of these loans were guaranteed by the SBA. The following schedule presents the composition of government agency guaranteed loans.

Delinquency rates include nonaccrual loans.
Approximately 11% of the CRE term loans consist of mini-perm loans as of September 30, 2019. For such loans, construction has been completed and the project has stabilized to a level that supports the granting of a mini-perm loan in accordance with our underwriting standards. Mini-perm loans generally have initial maturities of one to five
23
years. The remaining 89% of CRE loans are term loans with initial maturities generally of 5 to 20 years. The stabilization criteria for a project to qualify for a term loan differ by product type and include criteria related to the cash flow generated by the project, loan-to-value ratio, and occupancy rates.
Approximately $202 million, or 9%, of the construction and land development portfolio at September 30, 2019 consists of land acquisition and development loans. Most of these land acquisition and development loans are secured by specific retail, apartment, office, or other projects.
For a more comprehensive discussion of commercial real estate loans, see the “Commercial Real Estate Loans” section in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Consumer Loans
We have mainly been an originator of first and second mortgages, generally considered to be of prime quality. We generally hold variable-rate loans in our portfolio and sell “conforming” fixed-rate loans to third parties, including Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, for which we make representations and warranties that the loans meet certain underwriting and collateral documentation standards.
We are also engaged in Home Equity Credit Line (“HECL”) lending. At both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our HECL portfolio totaled $2.9 billion. The following schedule describes the composition of our HECL portfolio by lien status.

| Secured by second (or junior) liens | 1,532 | 1,479 | |||||||||
| Total | $ | 2,930 | $ | 2,937 | |||||||
At September 30, 2019, loans representing less than 1% of the outstanding balance in the HECL portfolio were estimated to have combined loan-to-value ratios (“CLTV”) above 100%. An estimated CLTV ratio is the ratio of our loan plus any prior lien amounts divided by the estimated current collateral value. At origination, underwriting standards for the HECL portfolio generally include a maximum 80% CLTV with high credit scores at origination.
Approximately 88% of our HECL portfolio is still in the draw period, and approximately 16% of those loans are scheduled to begin amortizing within the next five years. We regularly analyze the risk of borrower default in the event of a loan becoming fully amortizing and the risk of higher interest rates. The analysis indicates that the risk of loss from this factor is minimal in the current economic environment. The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average balances for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018 for the HECL portfolio was (0.02)% for both periods. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the credit quality of this portfolio.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and leases and other real estate owned (“OREO”) decreased to 0.48% at September 30, 2019, compared with 0.55% at December 31, 2018.
Total nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2019 decreased $19 million from December 31, 2018, primarily in the commercial owner-occupied loan portfolio. The largest total decrease in nonaccrual loans occurred at Amegy, mainly due to improvements in the oil and gas-related portfolio.
The balance of nonaccrual loans can decrease due to paydowns, charge-offs, and the return of loans to accrual status under certain conditions. If a nonaccrual loan is refinanced or restructured, the new note is immediately placed on nonaccrual. If a restructured loan performs under the new terms for at least a period of six months, the loan can be considered for return to accrual status. See “Restructured Loans” following for more information. Bank policy does not allow for the conversion of nonaccrual construction and land development loans to CRE term loans. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on nonaccrual loans.

Restructured Loans
Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are loans that have been modified to accommodate a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties, and for whom we have granted a concession that we would not otherwise consider. TDRs decreased $20 million, or 10%, during the first nine months of 2019, primarily due to payments and payoffs. Commercial loans may be modified to provide the borrower more time to complete the project, to achieve a higher lease-up percentage, to sell the property, or for other reasons. Consumer loan TDRs represent loan modifications in which a concession has been granted to the borrower who is unable to refinance the loan with another lender, or who is experiencing economic hardship. Such consumer loan TDRs may include first-lien residential mortgage loans and home equity loans.
If the restructured loan performs for at least six months according to the modified terms, and an analysis of the customer’s financial condition indicates that we are reasonably assured of repayment of the modified principal and interest, the loan may be returned to accrual status. The borrower’s payment performance prior to and following the restructuring is taken into account to determine whether a loan should be returned to accrual status.

Allowance for Credit Losses
In analyzing the adequacy of the ALLL, we utilize a comprehensive loan grading system to determine the risk potential in the portfolio and also consider the results of independent internal credit reviews. To determine the adequacy of the allowance, our loan and lease portfolio is broken into segments based on loan type.
The following schedule shows the changes in the allowance for loan losses and a summary of loan loss experience:

The total ALLL increased during the first nine months of 2019 by $15 million as a result of loan growth, increased net charge-offs, and an increase in the qualitative portion related to general economic indicators.
The RULC represents a reserve for potential losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments and standby letters of credit. The reserve is separately shown in the balance sheet and any related increases or decreases in the
26
reserve are shown separately in the statement of income. At September 30, 2019, the reserve increased by $5 million from December 31, 2018, and increased by $4 million from September 30, 2018.
See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the ACL and credit trends experienced in each portfolio segment.
Interest Rate and Market Risk Management
Interest rate and market risk are managed centrally. Interest rate risk is the potential for reduced net interest income and other rate-sensitive income resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates. Market risk is the potential for loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of fixed income securities, equity securities, other earning assets, and derivative financial instruments as a result of changes in interest rates or other factors. As a financial institution that engages in transactions involving an array of financial products, we are exposed to both interest rate risk and market risk.
The Bank’s Board of Directors is responsible for approving the overall policies relating to the management of the financial risk of the Bank, including interest rate and market risk management. The Board has established the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) consisting of members of management, to which it has delegated the responsibility of managing interest rate and market risk for the Bank. ALCO establishes and periodically revises policy limits and reviews with the ROC the limits and limit exceptions reported by management.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is one of the most significant risks to which we are regularly exposed. In general, our goal in managing interest rate risk is to manage balance sheet sensitivity to reduce net income volatility due to changes in interest rates.
Over the course of the last several years, we have actively reduced the level of asset sensitivity through the purchase of short-to-medium duration agency pass-through securities and funding these purchases by reducing money market investments and increasing short-term borrowings. This repositioning of the investment portfolio has increased current net interest income while dampening the impact of lower rates on net interest income contraction. We anticipate moderately lower net interest income in a falling rate environment as our assets reprice more quickly than our liabilities. Furthermore, as our deposit rates changes tend to lag changes in our assets, we anticipate a reduction in current interest income in a stable rate environment as asset yields level off and deposit rates continue to increase slightly.
Additionally, during 2019 we've expanded our use of interest rate derivatives to further reduce asset sensitivity through purchased interest rate floors and additional receive-fixed interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges of pools of floating-rate loans. We also use receive-fixed interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate debt to further manage our interest rate risk profile.
In July of 2019, the Bank restructured its portfolio of purchased interest rate floors that had an aggregate notional amount of $3.5 billion and strike rates of 1.50%. The restructuring doubled the notional amount of the floors to $7.0 billion and reduced the strike rates to 1.00% at no cost to the Bank. In late August of 2019, the Bank terminated the entire portfolio of interest rate floors and replaced them with an additional $2.0 billion in notional amount of receive-fixed interest rate swaps. The aggregate fair value of floors was $34 million at the time of termination, which represents a $26 million increase over the $8 million premium paid for the floors. The net $26 million gain is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") and amortized into interest income on a straight-line basis over the original contractual life of the floors with the offsetting entry recorded as an increase in interest income.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Bank issued a $500 million subordinated note with an interest rate of 3.25% and a maturity date of October 29, 2029 and subsequently entered into a receive-fixed interest rate swap. The note and swap constitute a qualifying fair value hedging relationship as the terms of the interest rate swap match the critical terms of the hedged note, resulting in the expectation that the swap will be highly effective as a hedging
27
instrument. The issuance of the debt, combined with the swap, had no meaningful impact to the Bank's interest rate risk profile. For more information on derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow and fair value hedges, see
Note 7 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
. The issuance of the subordinated note will add approximately 89 basis points to our total capital ratio.
The schedule below presents all derivatives utilized in our asset liability management ("ALM") activities that are designated in qualifying hedging relationships as defined by GAAP as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The schedule includes the notional amount, fair value, and the weighted-average receive-fixed rate for each category of interest rate derivatives, shown by maturity for the next five years.

Interest Rate Risk Measurement
We monitor interest rate risk through the use of two complementary measurement methods: net interest income simulation, or Earnings at Risk (“EaR”), and Economic Value of Equity at Risk (“EVE”). EaR analyzes the expected change in near term (one year) net interest income in response to changes in interest rates. In the EVE method, we measure the expected changes in the fair value of equity in response to changes in interest rates.
EaR is an estimate of the change in total net interest income that would be recognized under different interest rate environments over a one-year period. This simulated impact to net interest income due to a change in rates uses as its base a modeled net interest income that is not necessarily the same as the most recent quarter's or year's reported net interest income. Rather, EaR employs estimated net interest income under an unchanged interest rate scenario as the basis for comparison. The EaR process then simulates changes to the base net interest income under several interest rate scenarios, including parallel and nonparallel interest rate shifts across the yield curve, taking into account deposit repricing assumptions and estimates of the possible exercise of embedded options within the portfolio (e.g., a borrower’s ability to refinance a loan under a lower-rate environment). The EaR model does not contemplate changes in fee income that are amortized into interest income (e.g. premiums, discounts, origination points and costs, etc). Our policy contains a trigger for a 10% decline in rate-sensitive income as well as a risk capacity of a 13% decline if rates were to immediately rise or fall in parallel by 200 bps. As of December 31, 2018 the EaR declined by 12% for a 200 bps decline in rates. This trigger violation informed our decision to move to a less asset-sensitive position throughout 2019. As of September 30, 2019 the EaR declined by 9% for a 200 bps decline in rates.
EVE is calculated as the fair value of all assets minus the fair value of liabilities. We measure changes in the dollar amount of EVE for parallel shifts in interest rates. Due to embedded optionality and asymmetric rate risk, changes in EVE can be useful in quantifying risks not apparent for small rate changes. Examples of such risks may include out-of-the-money interest rate caps (or limits) on loans, which have little effect under small rate movements but may become important if large rate changes were to occur, or substantial prepayment deceleration for low-rate mortgages in a higher-rate environment. Our policy contains a trigger for an 8% decline in EVE as well as a risk capacity of a 10% decline if rates were to immediately rise or fall in parallel by 200 bps. Exceptions to the EVE limits are subject to notification and approval by the ROC.
Estimating the impact on net interest income and EVE requires that we assess a number of variables and make various assumptions in managing our exposure to changes in interest rates. The assessments address deposit withdrawals and deposit product migration (e.g., customers moving money from checking accounts to certificates of deposit), competitive pricing (e.g., existing loans and deposits are assumed to roll into new loans and deposits at similar spreads relative to benchmark interest rates), loan and security prepayments, and the effects of other similar embedded options. As a result of uncertainty about the maturity and repricing characteristics of both deposits and loans, we also calculate the sensitivity of EaR and EVE results to key assumptions. As most of our liabilities are comprised of indeterminate maturity and managed rate deposits, the modeled results are highly sensitive to the assumptions used for these deposits, such as checking, savings and money market accounts, and also to prepayment assumptions used for loans with prepayment options. We use historical regression analysis as a guide for setting such assumptions; however, due to the current low interest rate environment, which has little historical precedent, estimated deposit behavior may not reflect actual future results. Additionally, competition for funding in the marketplace has and may again result in changes to deposit pricing on interest-bearing accounts that are greater or less than changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR or the federal funds rate.
Under most rising interest rate environments, we would expect some customers to move balances from demand deposits to interest-bearing accounts such as money market, savings, or certificates of deposit. The models are particularly sensitive to the assumption about the rate of such migration.
In addition, we assume certain correlation rates, often referred to as a “deposit beta,” of interest-bearing deposits, wherein the rates paid to customers change at a different pace when compared with changes in average benchmark interest rates. Generally, certificates of deposit are assumed to have a high correlation rate, while interest-on-checking accounts are assumed to have a lower correlation rate. Actual results may differ materially due to factors
29
including the shape of the yield curve, competitive pricing, money supply, credit worthiness of the Bank, and so forth; however, we use our historical experience as well as industry data to inform our assumptions.
The aforementioned migration and correlation assumptions result in deposit durations presented in the following schedule.

The asset sensitivity as measured by EaR decreased slightly since December 31, 2018, due to changes in the investment securities and funding compositions.
The EaR analysis focuses on parallel rate shocks across the term structure of rates. The yield curve typically does not move in a parallel manner. If we consider a steepening rate shock where the short-term rate moves -200bps but the ten-year rate only moves -30bps, the earnings decline is 18% less severe over 12 months compared with the parallel -200bps rate shock.
CHANGES IN ECONOMIC VALUE OF EQUITY
As of the dates indicated, the following schedule shows our estimated percentage change in EVE under parallel interest rate changes ranging from -100 bps to +300 bps. For non-maturity interest-bearing deposits, the weighted average modeled beta is 44%. If the weighted average deposit beta were to decrease to 32% it would change the EVE in the -100bps shock from 11.9% to 12.6%. The significant increase in EVE in the down rate shock is a result of the fact that in a very low rate environment the discount to par on deposits is floored at zero.

For comparative purposes, the December 31, 2018 measures are presented in the following schedule. The changes in EVE measures from December 31, 2018 are primarily driven by the behavior of the deposit models. For non-maturity deposits, the deposit premium (or discount below par value) is floored at zero in a low-rate environment. With term rates significantly lower on September 30, 2019 than on December 31, 2018 (e.g., 5 year LIBOR swap is approximately 110bps lower), deposit premium valuations have approached the floor resulting in minimal downward change in the -100bp rate shock. Furthermore, during 2019 some deposit model parameters were updated, which made the premium valuation closer to zero and the negative rate shock less comparable to the December 31, 2018 value. The positive rate shocks were less impacted by these model updates.

Our focus on business banking also plays a significant role in determining the nature of the Bank’s asset-liability management posture. At September 30, 2019, $21 billion of the Bank’s commercial lending and CRE loan balances were scheduled to reprice in the next three months. Of these variable-rate loans approximately 98% are tied to either the prime rate or LIBOR. For these variable-rate loans we have executed $3.6 billion of cash flow hedges by receiving fixed rates on interest rate swaps or through purchased interest rate floors. Additionally, asset sensitivity is reduced due to $145 million of variable-rate loans being priced at floored rates at September 30, 2019, which were above the “index plus spread” rate by an average of 37 bps. At September 30, 2019, we also had $3.3 billion of variable-rate consumer loans scheduled to reprice in the next three months. Of these variable-rate consumer loans approximately $145 million were priced at floored rates, which were above the “index plus spread” rate by an average of 27 bps.
See Notes 3 and 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding derivative instruments.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, the authority regulating LIBOR, along with various other regulatory bodies, announced that LIBOR would likely be discontinued at the end of 2021. LIBOR makes up the most liquid and common interest rate index in the world and is commonly referenced in financial instruments. We have exposure to LIBOR in various aspects through our financial contracts. We are currently working with various industry groups and internal working groups to determine an appropriate replacement index for affected contracts that expire after the expected discontinuation of LIBOR on December 31, 2021. Instruments that may be impacted include loans, securities, and derivatives, among other financial contracts indexed to LIBOR and that mature after December 31, 2021. We are actively working to address any impacted contracts but realize that amending certain contracts indexed to LIBOR may require consent from the counterparties which could be difficult and costly to obtain in certain limited circumstances.
Market Risk – Fixed Income
We engage in the underwriting and trading of municipal securities. This trading activity exposes us to a risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the prices of these fixed income securities.
At September 30, 2019, we had a relatively small amount, $280 million, of trading assets and $4 million of securities sold, not yet purchased, compared with $106 million and $85 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.
31
We are exposed to market risk through changes in fair value. We are also exposed to market risk for interest rate swaps used to hedge interest rate risk. Changes in the fair value of AFS securities and in interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges are included in AOCI for each financial reporting period. During the third quarter of 2019, the after-tax change in AOCI attributable to AFS securities increased by $20 million, due largely to changes in the interest rate environment, compared with a $46 million decrease in the same prior year period.
Market Risk – Equity Investments
Through our equity investment activities, we own equity securities that are publicly-traded. In addition, we own equity securities in companies and governmental entities, e.g., the Federal Reserve Bank and an FHLB, that are not publicly-traded. The accounting for equity investments may use the cost, fair value, equity, or full consolidation methods of accounting, depending on our ownership position and degree of involvement in influencing the investees’ affairs. Regardless of the accounting method, the value of our investment is subject to fluctuation. Because the fair value of these securities may fall below our investment costs, we are exposed to the possibility of loss. Equity investments in private and public companies are approved, monitored and evaluated by the Bank’s Equity Investment Committee consisting of members of management.
We hold both direct and indirect investments in predominantly pre-public companies, primarily through various small business investment company ("SBIC") venture capital funds. Our equity exposure to these investments was $143 million and $132 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. On occasion, some of the companies within our SBIC investments may issue an initial public offering. In this case, the fund is generally subject to a lockout period before liquidating the investment, which can introduce additional market risk.
Additionally, Amegy has an alternative investments portfolio. These investments are primarily directed towards equity buyout and mezzanine funds with a key strategy of deriving ancillary commercial banking business from the portfolio companies. Early-stage venture capital funds are generally not a part of the strategy because the underlying companies are typically not creditworthy. The carrying value of Amegy
’
s equity investments was $10 million and $11 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Liquidity Risk Management
Overview
Liquidity refers to our capacity to meet our cash and collateral obligations and to manage both expected and unexpected cash flows without adversely impacting the operations or financial strength of the Bank. Sources of liquidity include both traditional forms of funding, such as deposits, borrowings, and equity and unencumbered assets, such as marketable loans and securities. The Bank continues to perform liquidity stress tests and assess its portfolio of highly liquid assets (sufficient to cover 30-day funding needs under the stress scenarios). At September 30, 2019, our investment securities portfolio of $15.0 billion and cash and money market investments of $2.4 billion collectively comprised 25% of total assets.
Liquidity Management Actions
The Bank’s consolidated cash, interest-bearing deposits held as investments, and security resell agreements was $2.3 billion at September 30, 2019 compared to $2.4 billion at December 31, 2018 and $1.5 billion at September 30, 2018. During the first nine months of 2019 uses of cash were primarily from (1) loan originations, (2) a decrease in short-term funds borrowed, (3) repurchases of our common stock, and (4) dividends on common and preferred stock. The primary sources of cash during the same period were from (1) an increase in deposits, (2) a decrease in investment securities, (3) net cash provided by operating activities, and (4) the issuance of long-term debt.
Total deposits were $56.1 billion at September 30, 2019 compared to $54.1 billion at December 31, 2018 and $53.8 billion at September 30, 2018. The increase for the first nine months of 2019 was a result of a $1.3 billion, $606 million, and a $125 million increase in savings and money market deposits, time deposits, and noninterest-bearing demand deposits, respectively. The Bank’s core deposits, consisting of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits under $250,000, was $52.8 billion at September 30, 2019 compared with $51.2 billion at December 31, 2018 and $50.9 billion at September 30, 2018.
32
During the first nine months of 2019, the Bank issued a $500 million senior note with an interest rate of 3.35% and a maturity date of March 4, 2022. At September 30, 2019, maturities of our long-term senior and subordinated debt ranged from August 2021 to September 2028. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Bank issued a $500 million subordinated note with an interest rate of 3.25% and a maturity date of October 29, 2029 and subsequently entered into a receive-fixed interest rate swap.
The Bank’s cash payments for interest, reflected in operating expenses, increased to $315 million during the first nine months of 2019 from $157 million during the first nine months of 2018. This increase is due to an increase in deposits and long-term borrowings, and higher interest rates paid on deposits and short-term borrowings. Additionally, the Bank paid approximately $196 million of dividends on preferred stock and common stock for the first nine months of 2019 compared with $172 million for the first nine months of 2018. Dividends paid per common share increased from $0.30 in the third quarter of 2018 to $0.34 in the third quarter of 2019. In October 2019, the Board approved a quarterly common dividend of $0.34 per share.
General financial market and economic conditions impact our access to, and cost of, external financing. Access to funding markets for the Bank is also directly affected by the credit ratings received from various rating agencies. The ratings not only influence the costs associated with the borrowings, but can also influence the sources of the borrowings. All of the credit rating agencies rate the Bank’s debt at an investment-grade level. The Bank’s credit ratings did not change during the first nine months of 2019 and are presented in the following schedule.

The FHLB system and Federal Reserve Banks have been and are a source of back-up liquidity and a significant source of funding. Zions Bancorporation, N.A. is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines. The FHLB allows member banks to borrow against their eligible loans and securities to satisfy liquidity and funding requirements. The Bank is required to invest in FHLB and Federal Reserve stock to maintain their borrowing capacity.
The amount available for additional FHLB and Federal Reserve borrowings was approximately $14.5 billion at September 30, 2019 compared to $13.8 billion at December 31, 2018. Loans with a carrying value of approximately $22.9 billion at September 30, 2019 have been pledged at the FHLB of Des Moines and the Federal Reserve as collateral for current and potential borrowings compared with $22.6 billion at December 31, 2018. At September 30, 2019, we had $3.2 billion of short-term FHLB borrowings outstanding and no long-term FHLB or Federal Reserve borrowings outstanding, compared with $4.5 billion of short-term FHLB borrowings and no long-term FHLB or Federal Reserve borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2018. At September 30, 2019, our total investment in FHLB and Federal Reserve stock was $136 million and $115 million, respectively, compared with $190 million and $139 million at December 31, 2018.
Our AFS investment securities are primarily held as a source of contingent liquidity. We target securities that can be easily turned into cash through sale or repurchase agreements and whose value remains relatively stable during market disruptions. We regularly manage our short-term funding needs through secured borrowing with the securities pledged as collateral. Interest rate risk management is another consideration for selection of investment securities. Our AFS securities balances have generally been level over the last year, but decreased by $639 from the second quarter of 2019.
The Bank’s loan to total deposit ratio has increased slightly and was 87% at September 30, 2019 compared with 86% at December 31, 2018, and 85% at September 30, 2018, indicating higher loan growth than deposit growth. We expect that loan growth will continue to be higher than deposit growth. If our operating and investing activities do not provide the additional loan funding required, the Bank will rely on more expensive wholesale funding for a
33
portion of its loan growth. Our use of borrowed funds (both short- and long-term) decreased by $556 million during the first nine months of 2019 as our deposit growth, decrease in AFS securities, and operating activities primarily funded loan growth over the period.
During the first nine months of 2019 we paid income taxes of $179 million compared to $142 million for the first nine months of 2018.
We may also, from time to time, issue additional preferred stock, senior or subordinated notes or other forms of capital or debt instruments, depending on our capital, funding, asset-liability management or other needs as market conditions warrant and subject to any required regulatory approvals. Management believes that the sources of available liquidity are adequate to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term and intermediate-term demands. A more comprehensive discussion of liquidity risk management, including certain contractual obligations, is contained in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Operational Risk Management
Operational risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, human errors or misconduct, or adverse external events. In our ongoing efforts to identify and manage operational risk, we have an ERM department whose responsibility is to help employees, management and the Board of Directors to assess, understand, measure, manage, and monitor risk in accordance with our Risk Appetite Framework. We have documented both controls and the Control Self-Assessment related to financial reporting under the 2013 framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”).
Periodic reviews by the Bank’s Compliance Risk Management, Internal Audit and Credit Examination departments are conducted on a regular basis, and the Data Governance department also provides key governance surrounding data integrity and availability oversight. We are continually improving our oversight of operational risk, including enhancement of risk identification, risk and control self-assessments, and antifraud measures, which are reported on a regular basis to enterprise management committees.
The number and sophistication of attempts to disrupt or penetrate our critical systems, sometimes referred to as hacking, cyber fraud, cyber attacks, cyber terrorism, or other similar names, also continue to grow. Given the importance and increasing sophistication of cyber attacks, the Bank has designated cyber risk a level one risk in its risk taxonomy, which places it at the highest level of oversight with its other top risks.
For a more comprehensive discussion of operational risk management see our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Overview
We believe that a strong capital position is vital to continued profitability and to promoting depositor and investor confidence. The Bank has a fundamental financial objective to consistently produce superior risk-adjusted returns on its shareholders’ capital. The Bank continues to utilize stress testing as the primary mechanism to inform its decisions on the appropriate level of capital and capital actions, based upon actual and hypothetically-stressed economic conditions. The results of our internal stress tests are publicly available on the Bank's website. The timing and amount of capital actions are subject to various factors, including the Bank's financial performance, business needs, prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, and OCC approval.
Common stock and additional paid-in capital decreased $804 million, or 21%, from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019, primarily due to $825 million of Bank common stock repurchases from publicly announced plans.
Capital Management Actions
During the first nine months of 2019, the Bank repurchased 18.0 million shares of common stock, or 10% of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2018, for $825 million at an average price of $45.89 per share.
34
During the last four quarters, the Bank repurchased 23.1 million shares of common stock, or 12% of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2018, for $1.1 billion at an average price of $46.50 per share. In October 2019, the Bank announced that the Board of Directors approved a plan to repurchase $275 million of common stock during the fourth quarter of 2019. Shares may be repurchased occasionally in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, utilizing Rule 10b5-1 plans or otherwise.
The Bank paid common dividends of $170 million, or $0.94 per share, during the first nine months of 2019 compared to $145 million, or $0.74 per share, during the first nine months of 2018. In October 2019, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.34 per common share payable on November 21, 2019 to shareholders of record on November 14, 2019. The Bank also paid dividends on preferred stock of $27 million for both the first nine months of 2019 and 2018. See Note 9 for additional detail about capital management transactions during the first nine months of 2019.

As previously discussed, the elevated level of common stock repurchases we executed during the past several quarters, and announced for the fourth quarter of 2019, will moderate in the near term as we approach our target capital amounts and ratios. The Bank expects to maintain the appropriate amount of capital to cover inherent risk in a changing interest rate environment and economy, while distributing excess capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
Total shareholders’ equity has remained consistent and was $7.5 billion at September 30, 2019 and $7.6 billion at both December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018. The primary decreases during the first nine months of 2019 was $825 million from repurchases of Bank common stock from publicly announced plans and $196 million from common and preferred stock dividends paid. The primary increases during the same period was net income of $633 million and $299 million from an increase in the fair value of our AFS securities due largely to changes in the interest rate environment.
Weighted average diluted shares decreased by 24 million and 20 million when comparing the third quarters of 2019 and 2018 and the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively, primarily due to Bank common stock repurchases and a decrease in the Bank’s common share price which reduced the dilutive impact of common stock warrants outstanding. As of September 30, 2019, the Bank had 29.3 million ZIONW common stock warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $34.14 which expire on May 22, 2020.
The following schedule presents diluted shares from the outstanding common stock warrants at September 30, 2019 at various Zions Bancorporation, N.A. common stock market prices as of October 31, 2019, excluding the effect of changes in exercise cost and common stock warrant share multiplier from the future payment of common stock dividends.

Basel III Capital Requirements
The Bank is subject to Basel III capital requirements to maintain adequate levels of capital as measured by several regulatory capital ratios. We met all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules as of September 30, 2019. The following schedule presents the Bank’s capital and performance ratios as of September 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018.

A more detailed discussion of capital management and Basel III requirements, including implications for the Bank, is contained in “Capital Standards – Basel Framework” under Part 1, Item 1, “Capital Management," and Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Subsequent to September 30, 2019, the Bank issued a $500 million subordinated note with an interest rate of 3.25% and a maturity date of October 29, 2029. See further discussion in "Interest Rate and Market Risk Management."

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
September 30, 2019
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Zions Bancorporation, National Association and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Zions Bancorporation, N.A.,” “the Bank,” “we,” “our,” “us”) have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. References to GAAP, including standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), are made according to sections of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Changes to the ASC are made with Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) that include consensus issues of the Emerging Issues Task Force.
Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 is from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Bank’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net income or shareholders’ equity. Additionally, effective October 1, 2019, we made certain financial reporting changes and reclassifications to noninterest income in our Consolidated Statements of Income. These changes and reclassifications were adopted on a retrospective basis. The changes and reclassifications reflect changes only to noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and do not impact net income, net interest income or noninterest expense.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS
| Accounting Standard Updates | Description | Date of adoption | Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters | |||||||||||||||||
| Updates not yet adopted by the Bank | ||||||||||||||||||||
|
ASU 2016-13,
Credit Losses
(Topic 326):
Measurement of
Credit Losses on
Financial
Instruments and subsequent related ASUs
|
This ASU, and subsequent updates, significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for virtually all financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Update replaces today’s “incurred loss” approach with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model for instruments such as loans and held-to-maturity (“HTM”) securities that are measured at amortized cost. The ASU requires credit losses relating to available-for sale (“AFS”) debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) rather than a reduction of the carrying amount and replaces the historically required other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) analysis. It also changes the accounting for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans.
The ASU retains many of the current disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and expands other disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for calendar year-end public companies beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted as of January 1, 2019. |
January 1,
2020 |
During the first and second quarters of 2019, we ran limited parallel runs. During the third quarter, we ran a more complete parallel run including additional analytics, controls, and a parallel governance process. A set of controls, including management review controls, implementation controls, data, model, and forecasting controls has been established. Next steps include further testing of controls and developing disclosures. We will continue to evaluate and refine our loss estimates throughout 2019.
The impact of the ASU at adoption may have a material impact on the Bank's financial statements. The impact will be influenced by the portfolio composition and credit quality, macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that time, as well as other management judgments. We expect more volatility in the credit loss estimate under CECL than under the current accounting requirements.
The Bank will adopt this guidance beginning January 1, 2020. Transition to the new ASU will be through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of January 1, 2020.
|
|||||||||||||||||
|
ASU 2017-04,
Intangibles –
Goodwill and
Other (Topic 350):
Simplifying the
Test for Goodwill
Impairment
|
This ASU removes the requirements in step two of the current goodwill impairment model, eliminating the requirement to calculate and compare the implied fair value of the reporting entity with the carrying amount of that entity, including goodwill, to measure any impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., measure the charge based on step one of the current guidance).
The ASU also continues to allow entities to perform an optional qualitative goodwill impairment assessment before determining whether to proceed to the quantitative step one. The Update is effective for the Bank as of January 1, 2020. Early adoption is allowed for any goodwill impairment test performed after January 1, 2017. |
January 1,
2020 |
We do not currently expect this guidance will have a material impact on the Bank’s financial statements since the fair values of our reporting units were not lower than their respective carrying amounts of goodwill at the time of our impairment analysis for 2018 and there were no significant decreases in the fair value identified for the relevant reporting units since the analysis was performed.
The Bank is not planning to early adopt this new guidance. The transition and adoption provisions are to be applied prospectively. |

ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
and subsequent
related ASUs
|
Although lessor accounting was left materially unchanged by ASU 2016-02 (and all related ASUs which together have been codified in ASC 842), ASC 842 requires that all lessees recognize a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and an offsetting lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. As the lessee, we adopted an accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, to not recognize lease assets or liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.
The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will depend primarily on its classification as a finance or operating lease. ASC 842 requires additional disclosures to provide financial statement users a better understanding of the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These new quantitative and qualitative disclosure requirements are detailed further in Note 8. |
January 1,
2019 |
The Bank adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the second of two permitted modified retrospective approaches for initial adoption. Under this method, the Bank recorded a right-of use asset of approximately $

This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs associated with Cloud Computing Arrangements that meet the definition of a service contract with requirements already provided for costs associated with internal-use software. Additionally, it clarifies that:
-The amortization period for capitalized amounts will be the noncancelable hosting contract term plus any expected renewal periods. -Entities in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract must provide certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures. -Transition for those not already following the provisions of this ASU can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. |

We early adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The Bank has historically been applying the guidance as clarified in this ASU. Consequently, the adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Bank’s financial statements.

FAIR VALUE
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. For a discussion of the Bank’s valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value hierarchy, see Note 3 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the three months ended September 30, we recognized $
2
million of net gains in 2019 and an insignificant amount of net gains in 2018 from the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties. During the nine months ended September 30, we recognized $
3
million of net gains in 2019 and $
1
million in 2018 from the sale of OREO properties that had a carrying value, at the time of sale, of $
4
million and $
3
million during these same periods. Prior to their sale, we recognized an insignificant amount of impairment on these properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Private equity investments carried at cost were measured at fair value for impairment purposes according to the methodology previously discussed for these investments. Amounts of PEIs carried at cost were $
8
million at
48
September 30, 2019 and $
10
million at December 31, 2018. Amounts of other noninterest-bearing investments carried at cost were $
252
million at September 30, 2019 and $
329
million at December 31, 2018, which were comprised of Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. Private equity investments accounted for using the equity method were $
41
million at September 30, 2019 and $
35
million at December 31, 2018.
Impaired (or nonperforming) loans that are collateral-dependent were measured at fair value based on the fair value of the collateral. OREO was measured initially at fair value based on collateral appraisals at the time of transfer and subsequently at the lower of cost or fair value. For additional information regarding the measurement of fair value for impaired loans, collateral-dependent loans, and OREO, see Note 3 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Security repurchase and reverse repurchase (“resell”) agreements are offset, when applicable, in the balance sheet according to master netting agreements. Security repurchase agreements are included with “Federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings.” Derivative instruments may be offset under their master netting agreements; however, for accounting purposes, we present these items on a gross basis in the Bank’s balance sheet. See Note 7 for further information regarding derivative instruments.

INVESTMENTS
Investment Securities
Securities are classified as HTM, AFS or trading. HTM securities, which management has the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. AFS securities are carried at fair value and unrealized gains and losses, after applicable taxes, are recorded as net increases or decreases to accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Realized gains and losses on AFS securities are determined by using the cost basis of each individual security. Trading securities are carried at fair value with gains and losses recognized in current period earnings. The purchase premiums for callable debt securities classified as HTM or AFS are amortized at a constant effective yield to the earliest call date. The purchase premiums and discounts for all other HTM and AFS securities are amortized and accreted at a constant effective yield to the contractual maturity date and no assumption is made concerning prepayments. As principal prepayments occur, the portion of the unamortized premium or discount associated with the principal reduction is recognized in interest income in the period the principal is reduced. Note 3 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K discusses the process to estimate fair value for investment securities.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
The Bank did not recognize any OTTI on its investment securities portfolio during the first nine months of 2019. We review investment securities on a quarterly basis for the presence of OTTI. Unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates subsequent to purchase and are not attributable to credit. At September 30, 2019, we did not have an intent to sell identified securities with unrealized losses or initiate such sales, and we believe it is not more likely than not we would be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. For additional information on our policy and evaluation process relating to OTTI, see Note 5 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Loans are presented net of unearned income, unamortized purchase premiums and discounts, and net deferred loan fees and costs totaling $
51
million and $
50
million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Municipal loans generally include loans to state and local governments (“municipalities”) with the debt service being repaid from general funds or pledged revenues of the municipal entity, or to private commercial entities or 501(c)(3) not-for-profit entities utilizing a pass-through municipal entity to achieve favorable tax treatment.
Land acquisition and development loans included in the construction and land development loan portfolio were $
202
million at September 30, 2019 and $
237
million at December 31, 2018.
Loans with a carrying value of $
22.9
billion at September 30, 2019 and $
22.6
billion at December 31, 2018 have been pledged at the Federal Reserve or the FHLB of Des Moines as collateral for current and potential borrowings.
We sold loans totaling $
278
million and $
527
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $
152
million and $
464
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018
,
respectively, that were
53
classified as loans held for sale. The sold loans were derecognized from the balance sheet. Loans classified as loans held for sale primarily consist of conforming residential mortgages and the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans. The loans are mainly sold to U.S. government agencies or participated to third parties. At times, we have continuing involvement in the transferred loans in the form of servicing rights or a guarantee from the respective issuer. Amounts added to loans held for sale during these same periods were $
316
million and $
579
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $
184
million and $
584
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. See Note 5 for further information regarding guaranteed securities.
The principal balance of sold loans for which we retain servicing was approximately $
1.6
billion at September 30, 2019 and $
2.2
billion at December 31, 2018. Income from loans sold, excluding servicing, was $
8
million and $
13
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $
3
million and $
10
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments (“RULC”). The ALLL represents our estimate of probable and estimable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. We also estimate a reserve for potential losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments, including standby letters of credit. We determine the RULC using the same procedures and methodologies that we use for the ALLL.
For additional information regarding our policies and methodologies used to estimate the ACL, see Note 6 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when payment in full of principal and interest is not expected, or the loan is
90
days or more past due as to principal or interest, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. For further discussion of our policies and processes regarding nonaccrual and past due loans, see Note 6 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Credit Quality Indicators
In addition to the past due and nonaccrual criteria, we also analyze loans using loan risk-grading systems, which vary based on the size and type of credit risk exposure. The internal risk grades assigned to loans follow our definitions of Pass, Special Mention, Sub-standard, and Doubtful, which are consistent with published definitions of regulatory risk classifications. For further discussion of our policies and processes regarding credit quality indicators and internal loan risk-grading, see Note 6 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Impaired Loans
Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. Payments received on impaired loans that are accruing are recognized in interest income, according to the contractual loan agreement. Payments received on impaired loans that are on nonaccrual are not
59
recognized in interest income, but are applied as a reduction to the principal outstanding. The amount of interest income recognized on a cash basis during the time the loans were impaired within the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was not significant.

Modified and Restructured Loans
Loans may be modified in the normal course of business for competitive reasons or to strengthen the Bank’s position. Loan modifications and restructurings may also occur when the borrower experiences financial difficulty and needs temporary or permanent relief from the original contractual terms of the loan. Loans that have been modified to accommodate a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties, and for which the Bank has granted a concession that it would not otherwise consider, are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). For further discussion of our policies and processes regarding TDRs, see Note 6 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Selected information on TDRs that includes the recorded investment on an accruing and nonaccruing basis by loan class and modification type is summarized in the following schedules:

Unfunded lending commitments on TDRs amounted to $
12
million and $
11
million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
The total recorded investment of all TDRs in which interest rates were modified below market was $
80
million at September 30, 2019 and $
88
million at December 31, 2018. These loans are included in the previous schedule in the columns for interest rate below market and multiple modification types.
The net financial impact on interest income due to interest rate modifications below market for accruing TDRs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was not significant.
On an ongoing basis, we monitor the performance of all TDRs according to their restructured terms. Subsequent payment default is defined in terms of delinquency, when principal or interest payments are past due
90
days or more for commercial loans, or
60
days or more for consumer loans.

Note: Total loans modified as TDRs during the 12 months previous to September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $
73
million and $
99
million, respectively.
At September 30, 2019, the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the Bank was less than $
1
million and approximately $
2
million at December 31, 2018. The recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure was $
11
million and $
10
million for the same periods, respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the possibility of loss from the failure of a borrower, guarantor, or another obligor to fully perform under the terms of a credit-related contract. We perform an ongoing analysis of our loan portfolio to evaluate whether there is any significant exposure to any concentrations of credit risk. See Note 6 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of our evaluation of credit risk concentrations. See also Note 7 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of counterparty risk associated with the Bank’s derivative transactions.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Accounting
The Bank is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest income or expense, to modify the duration of specific assets or liabilities as we consider advisable, to manage exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks, and/or to directly offset derivatives sold to our customers. For a detailed discussion of the use of and accounting policies regarding derivative instruments, see Note 7 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Fair Value Hedges –
As of September 30, 2019, the Bank had $
1
billion notional amount of interest rate swaps designated in qualifying fair value hedge relationships. The hedging instruments used are receive-fixed interest rate
64
swaps converting the interest on our fixed-rate debt to floating. These hedges are designated as fair values hedges of the change in fair value of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) benchmark swap rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows of our fixed-rate debt. The swaps are structured to match the critical terms of the hedged notes, resulting in the expectation that the swaps will be highly effective as hedging instruments. All interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges were highly effective and met all other requirements to remain designated and part of qualifying hedge accounting relationships as of the balance sheet date.
During the quarter the fair value hedge swap portfolio increased in value by $
1
million, which was offset by the change in fair value of the hedged debt, resulting in no direct earnings impact. The Bank has no remaining debt basis adjustments from previously designed fair value hedges, as such, there is no scheduled amortization for previously terminated fair value hedges that will impact the Bank’s financial statements for the foreseeable future.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Bank issued a $
500
million subordinated note with an interest rate of
3.25%
and a maturity date of October 29, 2029 and subsequently entered into a receive-fixed interest rate swap. The note and swap constitute a qualifying fair value hedging relationship as the terms of the interest rate swap match the critical terms of the hedged note, resulting in the expectation that the swap will be highly effective as a hedging instrument.
Cash Flow Hedges –
As of September 30, 2019, the Bank had $
3.6
billion notional amount of receive-fixed interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges of pools of floating-rate commercial loans. During the third quarter of 2019, the Bank's cash flow hedge portfolio, including the previously existing and additional interest rate swaps added during the quarter, as well as the floors prior to their termination, increased in value by $
9
million, which was recognized in AOCI. For the cash flow hedges, changes in fair value remain deferred in AOCI as long as the hedging relationship remains highly effective and qualifies for hedge accounting. Amounts deferred in AOCI are reclassified into earnings in the periods in which the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings.
Collateral and Credit Risk
Exposure to credit risk arises from the possibility of nonperformance by counterparties. No significant losses on derivative instruments have occurred as a result of counterparty nonperformance. For a more detailed discussion of collateral and credit risk related to our derivative contracts, see Note 7 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our derivative contracts require us to pledge collateral for derivatives that are in a net liability position at a given balance sheet date. Certain of these derivative contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features that include the requirement to maintain a minimum debt credit rating. We may be required to pledge additional collateral if a credit-risk-related feature were triggered, such as a downgrade of our credit rating. However, in past situations, not all counterparties have demanded that additional collateral be pledged when provided for by the contractual terms. At September 30, 2019, the fair value of our derivative liabilities was $
223
million, for which we were required to pledge cash collateral of $
102
million in the normal course of business. If our credit rating were downgraded one notch by either Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s at September 30, 2019, there would likely be $
2
million additional collateral required to be pledged. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), all newly eligible derivatives entered into are cleared through a central clearinghouse. Derivatives that are centrally cleared do not have credit-risk-related features that require additional collateral if our credit rating were downgraded.

The fair value of derivative assets was reduced by a net credit valuation adjustment of $
17
million and $
1
million at September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectfully. The adjustment for derivative liabilities was
zero
at September 30, 2019 and a decrease of less than $

at
September 30, 2018. These adjustments are required to reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk.

LEASES
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.
Upon adoption the Bank has elected to use the following optional exemptions that are permitted under Topic 842, which have been applied consistently:
•
the Bank elected the optional transition method and there was no impact to retained earnings from recognizing the appropriate amount of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet as of the adoption date of the standard. Prior period financial statements were not restated.
•
the Bank elected the expedient package to not reassess (1) whether any existing or expired contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any existing or expired leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases.
•
the Bank elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets for lessee or lessor transactions.
69
We determine if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The right to use leased assets for the lease term are considered ROU assets. Operating lease assets are included in “Other assets” while finance lease assets are included in “Premises, equipment and software, net.” Lease liabilities for operating leases are included in “Other liabilities” while finance leases are included in “Long-term debt” on our consolidated balance sheet.
Lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The lease ROU asset also incorporates any amortization incurred, including initial direct costs, and excludes lease incentives received. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and the lease term incorporates these when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise these options. The Bank enters into certain lease agreements with both lease and non-lease components, which are not separated out for lessees and lessors on a relative standalone basis.
We have operating and finance leases for branches, corporate offices, and data centers. Our equipment leases are not material. At September 30, 2019, we had
433
branches, of which
279
are owned and
154
are leased. We lease our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, and other office or data centers are either owned or leased.
The Bank may enter into certain lease arrangements with a term of 12 months or less, and we have elected to exclude these from capitalization. The length of our commitments for leases ranges from 2019 to 2062, some of which include options to extend or terminate the leases.
As of September 30, 2019, assets recorded under operating leases were $
231
million, while assets recorded under finance leases were $
4
million. We utilized a secured incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining term of the lease as of the effective date for the discount rate to determine our lease ROU assets and liabilities. The following schedule presents lease-related assets and liabilities, their weighted average remaining life, and the weighted average discount rate.

The Bank enters into certain lease agreements where it is the lessor of real estate. Real estate leases are made from bank-owned and subleased property to generate cash flow from the property, including from leasing vacant suites in which the Bank occupies portions of the building. Operating lease income was $
3
million for both the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, and $
9
million and $
8
million for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018.
The Bank also has a lending division that makes equipment leases, considered to be sales-type leases or direct financing leases, totaling $
332
million at both September 30, 2019 and 2018. The Bank uses leasing of equipment as a venue for customers to access equipment without purchasing upfront. The Bank recorded income of $
3
million and $
4
million on these leases for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, and $
11
million for both the first nine months of 2019 and 2018.

500
million subordinated note with an interest rate of
3.25%
and a maturity date of October 29, 2029 and subsequently entered into a receive-fixed interest rate swap. The note and swap constitute a qualifying fair value hedging relationship. For more information on derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow and fair value hedges, see

Legal Matters
We are subject to litigation in court and arbitral proceedings, as well as proceedings, investigations, examinations and other actions brought or considered by governmental and self-regulatory agencies. Litigation may relate to lending, deposit and other customer relationships, vendor and contractual issues, employee matters, intellectual property matters, personal injuries and torts, regulatory and legal compliance, and other matters. While most matters relate to individual claims, we are also subject to putative class action claims and similar broader claims. Proceedings, investigations, examinations and other actions brought or considered by governmental and self-regulatory agencies may relate to our banking, investment advisory, trust, securities, and other products and services; our customers’ involvement in money laundering, fraud, securities violations and other illicit activities or our policies and practices relating to such customer activities; and our compliance with the broad range of banking, securities and other laws and regulations applicable to us. At any given time, we may be in the process of responding to subpoenas, requests for documents, data and testimony relating to such matters and engaging in discussions to resolve the matters.
As of September 30, 2019, we were subject to the following material litigation or governmental inquiries:
•
a civil suit,
JTS Communities, Inc. et. al v. CB&T, Jun Enkoji and Dawn Satow
, brought against us in the Superior Court for Sacramento County, California in June 2017. In this case four investors in our former customer, International Manufacturing Group ("IMG") seek to hold us liable for losses arising from their investments in that company, alleging that we conspired with and knowingly assisted IMG and its principal in furtherance of an alleged Ponzi scheme. This case is in the discovery phase with dispostive motion practice underway and to be scheduled for hearing in early January 2020. Trial is scheduled for February 2020.
•
a civil class action lawsuit,
Evans v. CB&T
, brought against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California in May 2017. This case was filed on behalf of a class of up to 50 investors in IMG and seeks to hold us liable for losses of class members arising from their investments in IMG, alleging that we conspired with and knowingly assisted IMG and its principal in furtherance of an alleged Ponzi scheme. In December 2017, the District Court dismissed all claims against the Bank. In January 2018, the plaintiff filed an appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appeal was heard in early April 2019 with the Court of Appeals reversing the trial court's dismissal. This case is in the pleadings phase and as a result, trial will not occur for a substantial period of time.
73
•
two civil cases,
Lifescan Inc. and Johnson & Johnson Health Care Services v. Jeffrey Smith, et. al.
, brought against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in December 2017, and
Roche Diagnostics and Roche Diabetes Care Inc. v. Jeffrey C. Smith, et. al.
, brought against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in March 2019. In these cases, certain manufacturers and distributors of medical products seek to hold us liable for allegedly fraudulent practices of a borrower of the Bank which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017. The cases are in early phases, with initial motion practice and discovery underway in the
Lifescan
case. Trial has not been scheduled in either case.
•
a civil class action lawsuit,
Gregory, et. al. v. Zions Bancorporation
, brought against us in the United States District Court in Utah in January 2019. This case was filed on behalf of investors in Rust Rare Coin, Inc. alleging that we aided and abetted a Ponzi scheme fraud perpetrated by Rust Rare Coin, a Zions Bank customer. The case follows civil actions and the establishment of a receivership for Rust Rare Coin by The Commodities Futures Trading Commission and the Utah Division of Securities in November 2018, as well as a separate suit brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission against Rust Rare Coin and its principal, Gaylen Rust. The matter is in the early motion practice state and initial phase discovery has commenced. During the second quarter of 2019, we filed a motion to dismiss. Trial has not been scheduled.
In the third quarter, we reached settlements that were previously accrued for, or were immaterial, in the following cases:
•
a civil suit,
McFarland as Trustee for International Manufacturing Group v. CB&T, et. al.
, brought against us in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California in May 2016. The Trustee sought to recover loan payments previously repaid to us by our customer, IMG, alleging that IMG, along with its principal, obtained loans and made loan repayments in furtherance of an alleged Ponzi scheme.
•
a Private Attorney General Act claim under California law,
Lawson v. CB&T
, brought against us in the Superior Court for the County of San Diego, California, in February 2016. In this case, the plaintiff alleges, on behalf of herself and other current or former employees of the Bank who worked in California on a non-exempt basis, violations by the Bank of California wage and hour laws. The settlement is subject to the Court's approval.
At least quarterly, we review outstanding and new legal matters, utilizing then available information. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, if we determine that a loss from a matter is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we establish an accrual for the loss. In the absence of such a determination, no accrual is made. Once established, accruals are adjusted to reflect developments relating to the matters.
In our review, we also assess whether we can determine the range of reasonably possible losses for significant matters in which we are unable to determine that the likelihood of a loss is remote. Because of the difficulty of predicting the outcome of legal matters, discussed subsequently, we are able to meaningfully estimate such a range only for a limited number of matters. Based on information available as of September 30, 2019, we estimated that the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for those matters to be from $
0
million
to roughly $
35
million in excess of amounts accrued. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those matters for which a meaningful estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent our maximum loss exposure.
Based on our current knowledge, we believe that our current estimated liability for litigation and other legal actions and claims, reflected in our accruals and determined in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, is adequate and that liabilities in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, arising from litigation and other legal actions and claims for which an estimate as previously described is possible, will not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in light of the significant uncertainties involved in these matters, and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for any given reporting period.
Any estimate or determination relating to the future resolution of litigation, arbitration, governmental or self-regulatory examinations, investigations or actions or similar matters is inherently uncertain and involves significant judgment. This is particularly true in the early stages of a legal matter, when legal issues and facts have not been

11. REVENUE RECOGNITION
We derive our revenue primarily from interest income on loans and securities, which was more than three-quarters of our revenue in the third quarter of
2019
. Only noninterest income is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers in scope of ASC 606. For a discussion of the Bank’s revenue recognition from contracts, and the implementation of ASC 606, see Note 16 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Disaggregation of Revenue
We provide services across different geographical areas, primarily in
11
Western U.S. States, under banking operations that have their own individual brand names, including Zions Bank, Amegy Bank, California Bank & Trust, National Bank of Arizona, Nevada State Bank, Vectra Bank Colorado, and The Commerce Bank of Washington. The operating segment listed as “Other” includes certain non-bank financial services subsidiaries, centralized back-office functions, and eliminations of transactions between segments. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net income or shareholders’ equity.
The following schedule sets forth the noninterest income and net revenue by operating segments for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Revenue from contracts with customers did not generate significant contract assets and liabilities. Contract receivables are included in Other Assets. Payment terms vary by services offered, and the timing between completion of performance obligations and payment is typically not significant.

As disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Bank has frozen its participation and benefit accruals for the pension plan and its contributions for individual benefit payments in the postretirement benefit plan. In October 2018, the Bank decided to terminate its pension plan subject to obtaining necessary regulatory approval.

INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate of
22.9
% for the third quarter of 2019 was lower than the 2018 third quarter rate of
23.6
%. The effective tax rates for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018 were
22.6
% and
22.9
%, respectively. The income tax rates for 2019 and 2018 were reduced by nontaxable municipal interest income and nontaxable income from certain bank-owned life insurance, and were increased by the non-deductibility of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) premiums, certain executive compensation, and other fringe benefits.
We had a net deferred tax asset (“DTA”) balance of $
34
million at September 30, 2019, compared with $
130
million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in the net DTA resulted primarily from the decrease of accrued compensation and unrealized losses in other comprehensive income ("OCI") related to securities. A reduction of net deferred tax liabilities related to leasing operations offset some of the overall decrease in DTA.

OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
We manage our operations and prepare management reports and other information with a primary focus on geographical area. Our banking operations are managed under their own individual brand names, including Zions Bank, Amegy Bank, California Bank & Trust, National Bank of Arizona, Nevada State Bank, Vectra Bank Colorado, and The Commerce Bank of Washington. Performance assessment and resource allocation are based upon this geographical structure. We use an internal funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) allocation system to report results of operations for business segments. This process is continually refined. In the third quarter of 2019, we made changes to the FTP process to more accurately reflect the cost of funds for loans. Prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the impact of these changes had they been instituted for the periods presented. Total average loans and deposits presented for the banking segments include insignificant intercompany amounts between banking segments and may also include deposits with the Other segment.
As of September 30, 2019, our banking business is conducted through
7
locally managed and branded segments in distinct geographical areas. Zions Bank operates
98
branches in Utah,
24
branches in Idaho, and
one
branch in Wyoming. Amegy operates
75
branches in Texas. CB&T operates
87
branches in California. NBAZ operates
58
branches in Arizona. NSB operates
50
branches in Nevada. Vectra operates
36
branches in Colorado and
one
branch in New Mexico. TCBW operates
two
branches in Washington and
one
branch in Oregon.
The operating segment identified as “Other” includes certain non-bank financial service subsidiaries, centralized back-office functions, and eliminations of transactions between segments. The major components of net interest income at the Bank’s back-office include the revenue associated with the investments securities portfolio and the offset of the FTP costs and benefits provided to the business segments.
The following schedule does not present total assets or income tax expense for each operating segment, but instead presents average loans, average deposits and income before income taxes because these are the metrics that management uses when evaluating performance and making decisions pertaining to the operating segments. The Bank’s net interest income includes interest expense on borrowed funds. The condensed statement of income identifies the components of income and expense which affect the operating amounts presented in the Other segment.
The accounting policies of the individual operating segments are the same as those of the Bank. Transactions between operating segments are primarily conducted at fair value, resulting in profits that are eliminated for reporting consolidated results of operations.
