Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Bank of America Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its management may make certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “anticipates,” “targets,” “expects,” “hopes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “goals,” “believes,” “continue” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Forward-looking statements represent the Corporation’s current expectations, plans or forecasts of its future results, revenues, expenses, efficiency ratio, capital measures, strategy, and future business and economic conditions more generally, and other future matters. These statements are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and are often beyond the Corporation’s control. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any of these forward-looking statements.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties more fully discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any of the Corporation’s subsequent Securities and Exchange Commission filings: the Corporation’s potential claims, damages, penalties, fines and reputational damage resulting from pending or future litigation, regulatory proceedings and enforcement actions; the possibility that the Corporation’s future liabilities may be in excess of its recorded liability and estimated range of possible loss for litigation, regulatory, and representations and warranties exposures; the possibility that the Corporation could face increased servicing, fraud, indemnity, contribution or other claims from one or more counterparties, including trustees, purchasers of loans, underwriters, issuers, monolines, private-label and other investors, or other parties involved in securitizations; the Corporation’s ability to resolve representations and warranties repurchase and related claims, including claims brought by investors or trustees seeking to avoid the statute of limitations for repurchase claims; the risks related to the discontinuation of the London InterBank Offered Rate and other reference rates, including increased expenses and litigation and the effectiveness of hedging strategies; uncertainties about the financial stability and growth rates of non-U.S. jurisdictions, the risk that those jurisdictions may face difficulties servicing their sovereign debt, and related stresses on financial markets, currencies and trade, and the Corporation’s exposures to such risks, including direct, indirect and operational; the impact of U.S. and global interest rates, inflation, currency exchange rates, economic conditions, trade policies, including tariffs, and potential
geopolitical instability; the impact of the interest rate environment on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations; the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected due to changes in economic assumptions, customer behavior, adverse developments with respect to U.S. or global economic conditions and other uncertainties; the Corporation’s ability to achieve its expense targets and expectations regarding net interest income, net charge-offs, effective tax rate, loan growth or other projections; adverse changes to the Corporation’s credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies; an inability to access capital markets or maintain deposits or borrowing costs; estimates of the fair value and other accounting values, subject to impairment assessments, of certain of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities, including the Corporation’s merchant services joint venture; the estimated or actual impact of changes in accounting standards or assumptions in applying those standards, including the new credit loss accounting standard; uncertainty regarding the content, timing and impact of regulatory capital and liquidity requirements; the impact of adverse changes to total loss-absorbing capacity requirements and/or global systemically important bank surcharges; the potential impact of actions of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on the Corporation’s capital plans; the effect of regulations, other guidance or additional information on the impact from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; the impact of implementation and compliance with U.S. and international laws, regulations and regulatory interpretations, including, but not limited to, recovery and resolution planning requirements, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments, the Volcker Rule, fiduciary standards and derivatives regulations; a failure in or breach of the Corporation’s operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties, including as a result of cyber-attacks; the impact on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations from the planned exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union; the impact of a federal government shutdown and uncertainty regarding the federal government’s debt limit; and other matters.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made.

Recent Developments
Capital Management
Following completion of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s (Federal Reserve) 2019 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), the Federal Reserve did not object to the Corporation’s capital plan, which is estimated to return $37 billion to common shareholders over the next four quarters through quarterly common stock dividends and common stock repurchases.
As part of the capital plan, on July 25, 2019, the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the Board) declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.18 per share, an increase of 20 percent, payable on September 27, 2019 to shareholders of record as of September 6, 2019.
Also, on June 27, 2019, the Board authorized the repurchase of approximately $30.9 billion in common stock from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes approximately $900 million in repurchases to offset shares awarded under equity-based compensation plans during the same period. For additional information, see the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 27, 2019.
Merchant Services Joint Venture
As previously disclosed in the Corporation’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, a significant portion of the Corporation’s merchant processing activity is
performed by a joint venture, formed in 2009, in which the Corporation owns a 49 percent ownership interest. In June 2019, the joint venture partners agreed to extend the Corporation’s right to terminate the joint venture at the end of its current term, which is June 2020, from one year to four months prior to that date. On July 29, 2019, the Corporation gave notice to the joint venture partner of the termination of the joint venture upon the conclusion of its current term, after which the Corporation expects to pursue its own merchant services strategy. In addition, the Corporation and the joint venture partner have an agreement to provide uninterrupted delivery of products and services to the joint venture merchants through at least June 2023. As a result of the above actions, the Corporation expects to incur a non-cash, pretax impairment charge of approximately $1.7 billion to $2.1 billion in the third quarter of 2019, which is estimated to reduce the Common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio by 9 to 11 basis points (bps). The impairment charge will have no effect on the Corporation’s capital plan as described in Recent Developments – Capital Management above. For additional information, see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
U.K. Exit from the EU
In April 2019, the deadline for the U.K.’s withdrawal from the EU was extended to October 31, 2019; however, the U.K.’s withdrawal could occur sooner if a withdrawal agreement is reached prior to the deadline or could be extended beyond that date. Negotiations between the U.K. and the EU regarding the terms and conditions of the withdrawal are ongoing.
We conduct business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa primarily through our subsidiaries in the U.K., Ireland and France. For information on the changes we have implemented to enable us to continue to operate in the region, including establishing a bank and broker-dealer in the EU, see the Corporation’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. While we have taken measures to minimize operational disruption and prepare for various potential outcomes of the U.K.’s withdrawal from the EU, the preparedness of our counterparties and the relevant financial markets infrastructure remain outside our control. The global economic impact of the U.K.’s withdrawal from the EU remains uncertain and could result in regional and global financial market disruptions. In preparation for the withdrawal, we will continue to assess potential risks, including operational, regulatory and legal risks.
LIBOR and Other Benchmark Rates
Following the announcement by the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority in July 2017 that it will no longer persuade or require banks to submit rates for the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) after 2021, central banks and regulators around the world have commissioned working groups to find suitable replacements for Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) and other benchmark rates and to implement financial benchmark reforms more generally. These actions have resulted in uncertainty regarding the use of alternative reference rates (ARRs) and could cause disruptions in a variety of markets, as well as adversely impact our business, operations and financial results.
To facilitate an orderly transition from IBORs and other benchmark rates to ARRs, the Corporation has established an enterprise-wide initiative led by senior management. The objective of this initiative is to identify, assess and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuation or unavailability of benchmarks, including LIBOR, achieve operational readiness and engage impacted clients in connection with the transition to ARRs. The Corporation also continues to actively work with global regulators,
3 Bank of America |
industry working groups and trade associations to develop strategies for an effective transition to ARRs. As a part of its initiative, the Corporation is modifying systems, procedures and internal infrastructure to transition to ARRs. For example, the Corporation launched capabilities to support issuance and trading in products indexed to the new Secured Overnight Financing Rate, which is the alternative benchmark rate to U.S. dollar LIBOR recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a group of private-market participants convened by the Federal
Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. For more information on the expected replacement of LIBOR and other benchmark rates, see Item 1A. Risk Factors – Other and Executive Summary – Recent Developments – LIBOR and Other Benchmark Rates in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net income was $7.3 billion and $14.7 billion, or $0.74 and $1.45 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $6.8 billion and $13.7 billion, or $0.63 and $1.25 per diluted share, for the same periods in 2018. The improvement in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was driven by an increase in net interest income and noninterest income partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses and higher noninterest expense. The improvement in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was due to higher net interest income as well as lower noninterest expense, partially offset by higher provision for credit losses and lower noninterest income.
Total assets increased $41.4 billion from December 31, 2018 to $2.4 trillion primarily driven by higher trading account assets in Global Markets due to increased client balances in Equities and increased levels of inventory in Fixed-Income, Currencies and Commodities (FICC) to facilitate expected client demand, higher loans and leases primarily due to continued commercial loan and
residential mortgage growth, and an increase in other assets partially offset by lower federal funds sold and securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell and lower customer and other receivables.
Total liabilities increased $35.3 billion from December 31, 2018 to $2.1 trillion driven by higher trading account liabilities in FICC to facilitate expected client demand, an increase in long-term debt due to valuation adjustments, an increase in federal funds purchased and securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase driven by funding needs in the Equities businesses within Global Markets and an increase in other short-term borrowings as a result of higher Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances. Shareholders’ equity increased $6.1 billion from December 31, 2018 primarily due to net income, market value increases on debt securities and issuances of preferred stock partially offset by returns of capital to shareholders through common stock repurchases and common and preferred stock dividends.
Bank of America 4 |
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $361 million to $12.2 billion, and $967 million to $24.6 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. Net interest yield on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis increased 3 bps to 2.44 percent, and 6 bps to 2.48 percent for the same periods. The increase for the three-month period was primarily driven by higher short-term interest rates, and for both periods, loan and deposit growth. Both long- and short-term interest rates have declined over the first half of 2019. We still expect net interest income for 2019 to grow as compared to 2018. If interest rates
and other economic conditions remain stable with those of July 17, 2019, when we announced our second quarter 2019 results, net interest income is expected to grow approximately two percent. If, instead, short-term interest rates were to be lower as projected by the forward interest rate curve as a result of two implied Fed Funds rate cuts of 25 bps each this year, net interest income would be expected to grow approximately one percent. For more information on net interest yield and the FTE basis, see Supplemental Financial Data on page 6, and for more information on interest rate risk management, see Interest Rate Risk Management for the Banking Book on page 45.

Noninterest income increased $174 million to $10.9 billion, and decreased $498 million to $21.5 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. The following highlights the significant changes.
● | Service charges decreased $51 million and $133 million primarily driven by lower fees due to policy changes in Consumer, lower treasury fees in Global Banking in both periods, and lower ATM volume in the six-month period. |
• | Investment and brokerage services income increased modestly for the three-month period and decreased $292 million for the six-month period. The decline was primarily due to lower average market valuations compared to the same period in 2018 and declines in transactional revenue and assets under management (AUM) pricing, partially offset by the positive impact of AUM flows. The decline in transactional revenue for the six-month period was driven by lower market volatility resulting in lower client activity. |
● | Investment banking fees decreased $51 million for the three-month period due to declines in debt underwriting and advisory fees, partially offset by higher equity underwriting fees. The $140 million decrease for the six-month period was due to declines in debt underwriting fees, partially offset by increases in advisory fees and equity underwriting fees. |
● | Trading account income increased $194 million for the three-month period primarily driven by lower interest rates, partially offset by weakness in foreign exchange and equity derivatives trading. |
● | Other income increased $107 million and $152 million primarily due to an increase in both periods in equity investment income and gains on sales of debt securities. Also, the second quarter of the prior year included a $729 million charge related to the redemption of certain trust preferred securities, partially offset by a $572 million gain from the sale of certain non-core mortgage loans. |
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses increased $30 million to $857 million, and $209 million to $1.9 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were primarily driven by energy reserve releases in the prior-year periods and portfolio seasoning in the U.S. credit card portfolio, partially offset by the impact of recoveries recorded in connection with sales of previously charged-off non-core home equity loans. The increase in the six-month period also included a single-name utility client charge-off. For more information on the provision for credit losses, see Provision for Credit Losses on page 41.

Noninterest expense increased $44 million to $13.3 billion, and decreased $574 million to $26.5 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. The decrease in the six-month period was primarily due to efficiency savings, lower Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) expense and lower amortization of intangibles expense, partially offset by increased costs associated with investments in the businesses, including brand-related marketing costs.

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 reflect the impact of our recurring tax preference benefits and certain discrete tax items, primarily tax benefits related to stock-based compensation in the six-month effective rates.
We expect the effective tax rate for the rest of 2019 to be approximately 19 percent, absent unusual items.
Supplemental Financial Data
In this Form 10-Q, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items or otherwise include components that differ from the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional useful information to assess our financial condition, results of operations (including period-to-period operating performance) or compliance with prospective regulatory requirements. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended as a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may not be defined or calculated the same way as non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
We view net interest income and related ratios and analyses on an FTE basis, which when presented on a consolidated basis are non-GAAP financial measures. To derive the FTE basis, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt income on an equivalent before-tax basis with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. For purposes of this calculation, we use the federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent and a representative state tax rate. Net interest yield, which measures the basis points we earn over the cost of funds, utilizes net interest income (and thus total revenue) on an FTE basis. We believe that presentation of these items on an FTE basis allows for comparison of amounts from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practices.
We may present certain key performance indicators and ratios excluding certain items (e.g., debit valuation adjustment (DVA) gains (losses)) which result in non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the presentation of measures that exclude these items is useful because such measures provide additional information to assess the underlying operational performance and trends of our businesses and to allow better comparison of period-to-period operating performance.
We also evaluate our business based on certain ratios that utilize tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible equity represents an adjusted shareholders’ equity or common shareholders’ equity amount which has been reduced by goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights (MSRs)), net of related deferred tax liabilities. These measures are used to evaluate our use of equity. In addition, profitability, relationship and investment models use both return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity and return on average tangible shareholders’ equity as key measures to support our overall growth goals. These ratios are as follows:
● | Return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity measures our net income applicable to common shareholders as a percentage of adjusted average common shareholders’ equity. The tangible common equity ratio represents adjusted ending common shareholders’ equity divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding MSRs), net of related deferred tax liabilities. |
● | Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity measures our net income applicable to common shareholders as a percentage of adjusted average total shareholders’ equity. The tangible equity ratio represents adjusted ending shareholders’ equity divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding MSRs), net of related deferred tax liabilities. |
● | Tangible book value per common share represents adjusted ending common shareholders’ equity divided by ending common shares outstanding. |
We believe that the use of ratios that utilize tangible equity provides additional useful information because they present measures of those assets that can generate income. Tangible book value per common share provides additional useful information about the level of tangible assets in relation to outstanding shares of common stock.
The aforementioned supplemental data and performance measures are presented in Tables 5 and 6.
For more information on the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, see Non-GAAP Reconciliations on page 48.

Business Segment Operations
Segment Description and Basis of Presentation
We report our results of operations through the following four business segments: Consumer Banking, GWIM, Global Banking and Global Markets, with the remaining operations recorded in All Other. We manage our segments and report their results on an FTE basis. We periodically review capital allocated to our businesses and allocate capital annually during the strategic and capital planning processes. We utilize a methodology that considers the effect of regulatory capital requirements in addition to internal risk-based capital models. Our internal risk-based capital models use a risk-adjusted methodology incorporating each segment’s credit,
market, interest rate, business and operational risk components. For more information on the nature of these risks, see Managing Risk on page 22. The capital allocated to the business segments is referred to as allocated capital. Allocated equity in the reporting units is comprised of allocated capital plus capital for the portion of goodwill and intangibles specifically assigned to the reporting unit. For more information, see Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
For more information on our presentation of financial information on an FTE basis, see Supplemental Financial Data on page 6, and for reconciliations to consolidated total revenue, net income and period-end total assets, see Note 18 – Business Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Consumer Banking, which is comprised of Deposits and Consumer Lending, offers a diversified range of credit, banking and investment products and services to consumers and small businesses. For more information about Consumer Banking, including our Deposits and Consumer Lending businesses, see Business Segment Operations in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Consumer Banking Results
Three-Month Comparison
Net income for Consumer Banking increased $372 million to $3.3 billion primarily driven by higher net interest income which increased $523 million to $7.1 billion primarily due to growth in deposits and loans as well as the impact of higher short-term interest rates. Noninterest income decreased $39 million to $2.6 billion driven by lower card income, service charges and mortgage banking income, partially offset by the results from asset and liability management (ALM) activities.
Noninterest expense increased $40 million to $4.4 billion primarily driven by continued investments in the business, including marketing, and increases in primary sales professionals combined with investments in new and renovated financial centers, and digital capabilities. These increases were largely offset by lower FDIC expense and operating efficiencies.
The return on average allocated capital was 36 percent, up from 32 percent, driven by higher net income. For additional information on capital allocations, see Business Segment Operations on page 11.
Six-Month Comparison
Net income for Consumer Banking increased $1.0 billion to $6.5 billion primarily driven by an increase in net interest income and lower noninterest expense. Net interest income increased $1.2 billion to $14.2 billion and noninterest income decreased $17 million to $5.1 billion. These were primarily driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion.
The provision for credit losses increased $42 million to $1.9 billion due to portfolio seasoning in the U.S. credit card portfolio. Noninterest expense decreased $152 million to $8.8 billion primarily driven by lower FDIC expense and operating efficiencies. These decreases were partially offset by continued investments in the business.
The return on average allocated capital was 36 percent, up from 30 percent, driven by higher net income.
Deposits
Three-Month Comparison
Net income for Deposits increased $362 million to $2.2 billion driven by higher revenue. Net interest income increased $468 million to $4.4 billion primarily due to growth in deposits and loans, and pricing discipline. Noninterest income of $1.2 billion remained relatively unchanged as lower service charges were largely offset by the results from ALM activities.
Noninterest expense increased $19 million to $2.7 billion primarily driven by continued investments in the business, largely offset by lower FDIC expense and operating efficiencies.
Bank of America 12 |
Average deposits increased $19.6 billion to $701.8 billion driven by strong organic growth. Growth in checking and time deposits of $24.0 billion was partially offset by a decline in traditional savings and money market savings of $4.2 billion.
Six-Month Comparison
Net income for Deposits increased $950 million to $4.4 billion driven by higher revenue and lower noninterest expense. Net interest income increased $1.1 billion to $8.7 billion primarily driven by the same factors as described in the three-month
discussion. Noninterest income increased $73 million to $2.5 billion primarily driven by the results from ALM activities, partially offset by lower service charges.
Noninterest expense decreased $64 million to $5.3 billion primarily driven by lower FDIC expense and operating efficiencies, partially offset by continued investments in the business.
Average deposits increased $21.4 billion to $697.0 billion driven by strong organic growth. Growth in checking and money market savings of $23.9 billion was partially offset by a decline in traditional savings and time deposits of $2.3 billion.

GWIM consists of two primary businesses: Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management (MLGWM) and Bank of America Private Bank. For more information about GWIM, see Business Segment Operations in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Three-Month Comparison
Net income for GWIM increased $102 million to $1.1 billion due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher noninterest expense. The operating margin was 29 percent compared to 27 percent a year ago.
Net interest income increased $86 million to $1.6 billion due to higher deposit spreads and increases in average deposit and loan balances, partially offset by lower loan spreads.
Noninterest income, which primarily includes investment and brokerage services income, increased $72 million to $3.3 billion. The increase was driven by the positive impact of AUM flows and higher average market valuations compared to the same period in 2018, partially offset by lower AUM pricing.
Noninterest expense increased $31 million to $3.5 billion primarily driven by continued investments in the business, including marketing, and revenue-related incentives, largely offset by lower amortization of intangibles and FDIC expense.
The return on average allocated capital was 30 percent, up from 27 percent, due to higher net income. For more information on capital allocated to the business segments, see Business Segment Operations on page 11.
MLGWM revenue of $4.0 billion increased four percent, reflecting higher net interest income and asset management fees. The increase in asset management fees was driven by the impact
of higher AUM flows and higher average market valuations, partially offset by lower AUM pricing.
Bank of America Private Bank revenue of $853 million remained relatively unchanged from the same period in 2018.
Six-Month Comparison
Net income for GWIM increased $228 million to $2.1 billion due to higher revenue and lower noninterest expense. The operating margin was 29 percent compared to 26 percent a year ago.
Net interest income increased $186 million to $3.3 billion due to the same factors as described in the three-month discussion.
Noninterest income, which primarily includes investment and brokerage services income, decreased $63 million to $6.4 billion. The decrease was driven by lower average market valuations compared to the same period in 2018, and declines in transactional revenue and AUM pricing, partially offset by the positive impact of AUM flows.
Noninterest expense decreased $122 million to $6.9 billion primarily driven by lower amortization of intangibles, FDIC expense and revenue-related incentives, partially offset by continued investments in the business.
The return on average allocated capital was 30 percent, up from 26 percent, due to higher net income. For more information on capital allocated to the business segments, see Business Segment Operations on page 11.
MLGWM revenue of $8.0 billion increased two percent due to the same factors as described in the three-month discussion. Bank of America Private Bank revenue of $1.7 billion remained relatively unchanged compared to the same period in 2018.

Client Balances
Client balances increased $144.6 billion, or five percent, to $2.9 trillion at June 30, 2019 compared to June 30, 2018. The increase in client balances was due to higher market valuations and positive net flows as of June 30, 2019. Positive net client flows in AUM decreased from the same period a year ago primarily due to a smaller shift from brokerage assets to AUM.

Global Banking, which includes Global Corporate Banking, Global Commercial Banking, Business Banking and Global Investment Banking, provides a wide range of lending-related products and services, integrated working capital management and treasury solutions, and underwriting and advisory services through our network of offices and client relationship teams. For more information about Global Banking, see Business Segment Operations in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Three-Month Comparison
Net income for Global Banking decreased $185 million to $1.9 billion primarily driven by higher provision for credit losses.
Revenue decreased $39 million to $5.0 billion driven by modest declines in net interest income and noninterest income. Net interest income decreased $30 million to $2.7 billion as the impact of deposit and loan growth was more than offset by the allocation of ALM activities and loan spread compression. Noninterest income decreased $9 million to $2.3 billion. The provision for credit losses increased $148 million to $125 million primarily driven by energy reserve releases in the prior-year period.
Noninterest expense increased $27 million to $2.2 billion primarily due to continued investment in the business.
The return on average allocated capital was 19 percent, down from 21 percent, due to lower net income. For more information
on capital allocated to the business segments, see Business Segment Operations on page 11.
Six-Month Comparison
Net income for Global Banking decreased $145 million to $4.0 billion primarily driven by higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher revenue.
Revenue increased $121 million to $10.1 billion driven by higher net interest income and noninterest income. Net interest income increased $81 million to $5.5 billion primarily due to the impact of higher deposit and loan balances and increased deposit rates, partially offset by the allocation of ALM activities and loan spread compression. Noninterest income increased $40 million to $4.6 billion primarily due to higher leasing-related revenue and ALM results, partially offset by lower fees and commissions. The provision for credit losses increased $243 million to $236 million primarily driven by energy reserve releases in the prior-year period and a current-period single-name utility client charge-off.
Noninterest expense was relatively unchanged at $4.5 billion, primarily due to lower FDIC expense, largely offset by continued investment in the business.
The return on average allocated capital was 19 percent, down from 20 percent, due to lower net income. For more information on capital allocated to the business segments, see Business Segment Operations on page 11.

Global Transaction Services revenue increased $135 million and $333 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily driven by higher deposit balances and rates.
Average loans and leases increased five percent for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 driven by growth in the commercial and industrial portfolio. Average deposits increased 12 percent and 10 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 due to growth in domestic and international interest-bearing balances.

Global Markets product coverage includes securities and derivative products in both the primary and secondary markets. For more information about Global Markets, see Business Segment Operations in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Three-Month Comparison
Net income for Global Markets decreased $83 million to $1.0 billion. Net DVA losses were $31 million compared to losses of $179 million, and excluding net DVA, net income decreased $195 million to $1.1 billion. These decreases were primarily driven by a decrease in revenue, partially offset by lower noninterest expense.
Revenue declined $106 million to $4.1 billion due to lower sales and trading revenue and lower investment banking fees, partially offset by a $199 million gain on the sale of an equity investment. Sales and trading revenue decreased $209 million, and excluding net DVA, decreased $357 million due to declines in both FICC and Equities revenue. Noninterest expense decreased $49 million to $2.7 billion primarily driven by lower revenue-related expenses.
Average total assets increased $6.9 billion to $685.4 billion driven by increased levels of inventory in FICC to facilitate expected client demand.
The return on average allocated capital was 12 percent, down from 13 percent, reflecting lower net income.

These decreases were primarily driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion.
Average total assets decreased $3.6 billion to $674.8 billion primarily due to lower client balances in Equities. Period-end total assets increased $33.1 billion from December 31, 2018 to $675.0 billion due to higher client balances in Equities and
increased levels of inventory in FICC to facilitate expected client demand.
The return on average allocated capital was 12 percent, down from 15 percent, reflecting lower net income.
Sales and Trading Revenue
For a description of sales and trading revenue, see Business Segment Operations in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following table and related discussion present sales and trading revenue, substantially all of which is in Global Markets, with the remainder in Global Banking. In addition, the following table and related discussion present sales and trading revenue, excluding net DVA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure.

(3) | FICC and Equities sales and trading revenue, excluding net DVA, is a non-GAAP financial measure. FICC net DVA losses were $30 million and $109 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to losses of $184 million and $106 million for the same periods in 2018. Equities net DVA losses were $1 million and $12 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to gains of $5 million and losses of $9 million for the same periods in 2018. |
The following explanations for period-over-period changes in sales and trading, FICC and Equities revenue exclude net DVA, but would be the same if net DVA was included.
Three-Month Comparison
FICC revenue decreased $188 million due to a generally weaker trading environment leading to reduced client activity across most products. Equities revenue decreased $169 million driven by under
performance in derivatives compared to a strong prior-year period due to lower levels of client activity and weaker trading performance.
Six-Month Comparison
FICC revenue decreased $385 million and equities revenue decreased $503 million, both primarily driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion.

(1) | In segments where the total of liabilities and equity exceeds assets, which are generally deposit-taking segments, we allocate assets from All Other to those segments to match liabilities (i.e., deposits) and allocated shareholders’ equity. Average allocated assets were $549.5 billion and $543.0 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $519.6 billion and $517.1 billion for the same periods in 2018, and period-end allocated assets were $544.0 billion and $540.8 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. |
n/m = not meaningful
All Other consists of ALM activities, equity investments, non-core mortgage loans and servicing activities, liquidating businesses and certain expenses not otherwise allocated to a business segment. ALM activities encompass certain residential mortgages, debt securities, and interest rate and foreign currency risk management activities. Substantially all of the results of ALM activities are allocated to our business segments. Equity investments include our merchant services joint venture, as well as a portfolio of equity, real estate and other alternative investments. For information on our merchant services joint venture, see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information about All Other, see Business Segment Operations in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For more information on the composition of the core and non-core portfolios, see Consumer Portfolio Credit Risk Management on page 28. Residential mortgage loans that are held for ALM purposes, including interest rate or liquidity risk management, are classified as core and are presented on the balance sheet of All Other. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, residential mortgage loans held for ALM activities decreased $1.1 billion to $23.8 billion primarily as a result of payoffs and paydowns. Non-core residential mortgage and home equity loans, which are principally runoff portfolios, are also held in All Other. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, total non-core loans decreased $3.9 billion to $19.6 billion due primarily to payoffs and paydowns as well as sales and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan conveyances, offset by repurchases.
Three-Month Comparison
Net income for All Other increased $358 million to $9 million driven by improved revenue, an increase in the benefit in provision for credit losses and a higher income tax benefit.
Revenue increased $33 million from the prior period which included a $729 million charge related to the redemption of certain trust preferred securities and a $572 million gain from the sale of non-core mortgage loans.
The benefit in the provision for credit losses increased $136 million to $241 million primarily due to recoveries from the sales of previously charged-off non-core home equity loans.
The income tax benefit increased to $786 million driven by a higher level of tax credits. Both periods included income tax benefit adjustments to eliminate the FTE treatment of certain tax credits recorded in Global Banking.
Six-Month Comparison
The net loss for All Other improved $305 million to a loss of $39 million driven by an increased income tax benefit, partially offset by a higher pretax loss.
Revenue decreased $175 million to negative $1.1 billion with the same factors as described in the three-month discussion affecting the year-over-year results.
The benefit in the provision for credit losses increased $38 million to $295 million primarily driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion, partially offset by a slower pace of portfolio improvement.
Noninterest expense decreased $82 million to $933 million reflecting lower non-core mortgage costs, primarily due to lower volume, a decrease in compensation and benefits, and lower FDIC expense, partially offset by higher marketing expense.
The income tax benefit was $1.7 billion compared to a benefit of $1.4 billion in the same period in 2018, driven by a higher level of tax credits. Both periods included income tax benefit adjustments to eliminate the FTE treatment of certain tax credits recorded in Global Banking.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We have contractual obligations to make future payments on debt and lease agreements. Additionally, in the normal course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements whereby we commit to future purchases of products or services from unaffiliated parties.

Managing Risk
Risk is inherent in all our business activities. The seven key types of risk faced by the Corporation are strategic, credit, market, liquidity, compliance, operational and reputational. Sound risk management enables us to serve our customers and deliver for our shareholders. If not managed well, risks can result in financial loss, regulatory sanctions and penalties, and damage to our reputation, each of which may adversely impact our ability to execute our business strategies. The Corporation takes a comprehensive approach to risk management with a defined Risk Framework and an articulated Risk Appetite Statement which are approved annually by the Enterprise Risk Committee and the Board.
Our Risk Framework is the foundation for consistent and effective management of risks facing the Corporation. The Risk Framework sets forth clear roles, responsibilities and accountability for the management of risk and provides a blueprint for how the Board, through delegation of authority to committees and executive officers, establishes risk appetite and associated limits for our activities.
Our Risk Appetite Statement is intended to ensure that the Corporation maintains an acceptable risk profile by providing a common framework and a comparable set of measures for senior management and the Board to clearly indicate the level of risk the Corporation is willing to accept. Risk appetite is set at least annually and is aligned with the Corporation’s strategic, capital and financial operating plans. Our line of business strategies and risk appetite are also similarly aligned.
For more information on our Risk Framework, our risk management activities and the key types of risk faced by the Corporation, see the Managing Risk through Reputational Risk sections in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Capital Management
The Corporation manages its capital position so that its capital is more than adequate to support its business activities and aligns with risk, risk appetite and strategic planning. For more information on capital management, including related regulatory requirements, see Capital Management in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
CCAR and Capital Planning
The Federal Reserve requires BHCs to submit a capital plan and requests for capital actions on an annual basis, consistent with the rules governing the CCAR capital plan.
On June 27, 2019, following the Federal Reserve’s non-objection to our 2019 CCAR capital plan, the Board authorized the repurchase of approximately $30.9 billion in common stock from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes approximately $900 million to offset shares awarded under equity-based compensation plans during the same period. The Board’s common stock repurchase authorization replaces its prior common stock repurchase authorization that expired on June 30, 2019.
Our stock repurchases are subject to various factors, including the Corporation’s capital position, liquidity, financial performance and alternative uses of capital, stock trading price and general market conditions, and may be suspended at any time. The repurchases may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including repurchase plans that satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). As a well-capitalized BHC, we may notify the Federal Reserve of our intention to make additional capital distributions not to exceed 0.25 percent of Tier 1 capital, and which were not contemplated in our capital plan, subject to the Federal Reserve’s non-objection.
Regulatory Capital
As a financial services holding company, we are subject to regulatory capital rules, including Basel 3, issued by U.S. banking regulators. The Corporation's depository institution subsidiaries are also subject to the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework. The Corporation and its primary affiliated banking entity, BANA, are Advanced approaches institutions under Basel 3 and are required to report regulatory risk-based capital ratios and risk-weighted assets under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The approach that yields the lower ratio is used to assess capital adequacy including under the PCA framework. As of June 30, 2019, the CET1 and Tier 1 capital ratios for the Corporation were lower under the Standardized approach whereas the Advanced approaches yielded a lower Total capital ratio.
Minimum Capital Requirements
Minimum capital requirements and related buffers were fully phased in as of January 1, 2019. In order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments, the Corporation must meet risk-based capital ratio requirements that include a capital conservation buffer greater than 2.5 percent, plus any applicable countercyclical capital buffer and a global systemically important bank (G-SIB) surcharge. The buffers and surcharge must be comprised solely of CET1 capital.
The Corporation is also required to maintain a minimum supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) of 3.0 percent plus a leverage buffer of 2.0 percent in order to avoid certain restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. Our insured depository institution subsidiaries are required to maintain a minimum 6.0 percent SLR to be considered well capitalized under the PCA framework.
Capital Composition and Ratios
Table 9 presents Bank of America Corporation’s capital ratios and related information in accordance with Basel 3 Standardized and Advanced approaches as measured at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. As of the periods presented herein, the Corporation met the definition of well capitalized under current regulatory requirements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, Total capital under the Advanced approaches increased $8.0 billion primarily driven by the same factors as CET1 capital and preferred stock
issuances. Risk-weighted assets under the Standardized approach, which yielded the lower CET1 capital ratio at June 30, 2019, increased $29.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $1,467 billion primarily due to an increase in other assets and client activity in Global Markets and Global Banking.

Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity Requirements
Effective January 1, 2019, the Corporation is subject to the Federal Reserve’s final rule requiring G-SIBs to maintain minimum levels of total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) and long-term debt. TLAC consists of the Corporation’s Tier 1 capital and eligible long-term debt issued directly by the Corporation. Eligible long-term debt for TLAC ratios is comprised of unsecured debt that has a remaining
maturity of at least one year and satisfies additional requirements as prescribed in the TLAC final rule. As with the risk-based capital ratios and SLR, the Corporation is required to maintain TLAC ratios in excess of minimum requirements plus applicable buffers in order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. Table 13 presents the Corporation's TLAC and long-term debt ratios and related information as of June 30, 2019.

The TLAC risk-weighted assets and leverage buffers must be comprised solely of CET1 capital and Tier 1 capital, respectively. |
(2) | The long-term debt risk-weighted assets regulatory minimum is comprised of 6.0 percent plus an additional 2.5 percent requirement based on the Corporation’s method 2 G-SIB surcharge. |
(3) | The approach that yields the higher risk-weighted assets is used to calculate TLAC and long-term debt ratios, which was the Standardized approach as of June 30, 2019. |
Regulatory Developments
The following supplements the disclosure in Capital Management – Regulatory Developments in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Security-Based Swap Dealer Capital, Margin and Segregation Requirements
On June 21, 2019, the SEC published a final rule establishing capital, margin and segregation requirements for security-based swap dealers (SBSDs). The final rule increases the minimum net capital requirements for broker-dealers authorized to use internal models to compute alternative net capital (ANC broker-dealers). For ANC broker-dealers, the minimum tentative net capital requirement increased from $1.0 billion to $5.0 billion, and the net capital requirement was raised to the greater of $1.0 billion or the applicable risk-margin amount (initial margin maintained for cleared and non-cleared security-based swaps) plus two percent of certain customer-related assets. For stand-alone SBSDs that use models to calculate haircuts, the minimum tentative net capital requirement is $100 million and the minimum net capital requirement is the greater of $20 million or two percent of the risk-margin amount.

On June 26, 2019, the Basel Committee published a revised leverage ratio treatment of client-cleared derivatives, which aligns the leverage ratio measurement of client-cleared derivatives with the measurement determined according to the Standardized approach to measuring counterparty credit risk exposures, as used for risk-based capital requirements. U.S. banking regulators may update the U.S. Basel 3 rules to incorporate the Basel Committee revisions. The impact to the Corporation’s leverage ratio is not expected to be significant if U.S. banking regulators adopt the revisions as written by the Basel Committee.
Broker-dealer Regulatory Capital and Securities Regulation
The Corporation’s principal U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries are Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (MLPF&S), BofA Securities, Inc. (BofAS) and Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corp (MLPCC). The Corporation's principal European broker-dealer subsidiaries are Merrill Lynch International (MLI) and BofA Securities Europe SA (BofASE).
As a result of resolution planning, effective May 13, 2019, the business of MLPF&S was reorganized into two affiliated broker-dealers: MLPF&S and BofAS, a newly formed broker-dealer. Under the reorganization, BofAS became the legal entity for the institutional services that were previously provided by MLPF&S, while the retail services remain with MLPF&S. For additional information, see the Corporation's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 13, 2019. For more information on
resolution planning, see Item 1. Business – Resolution Planning of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act. BofAS and MLPCC are also registered as futures commission merchants and are subject to U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Regulation 1.17.
MLPF&S computes its minimum capital requirement in accordance with Rule 15c3-1. At June 30, 2019, MLPF&S' regulatory net capital was $3.9 billion which exceeded the minimum requirement of $111 million by $3.8 billion.
BofAS also computes its minimum capital requirement in accordance with Rule 15c3-1. In accordance therewith, BofAS is required to maintain tentative net capital in excess of $1.0 billion and net capital in excess of the greater of $500 million or a certain percentage of its reserve requirement. BofAS is also required to hold a certain percentage of its risk-based margin in order to meet its CFTC minimum net capital requirement. At June 30, 2019, BofAS had tentative net capital of $12.7 billion. BofAS also had regulatory net capital of $10.6 billion which exceeded the minimum requirement of $2.1 billion by $8.5 billion.
MLPCC is a fully-guaranteed subsidiary of BofAS and provides clearing and settlement services. At June 30, 2019, MLPCC’s regulatory net capital of $4.3 billion exceeded the minimum requirement of $1.1 billion by $3.2 billion.
Our European broker-dealers are subject to regulation by non-U.S. regulators. MLI, a U.K. investment firm, is regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority, and is subject to certain regulatory capital requirements. At June 30, 2019, MLI’s capital resources were $35.0 billion, which exceeded the minimum Pillar 1 requirement of $13.7 billion.
BofASE, a French investment firm, is regulated by the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution and the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, and is subject to certain regulatory capital requirements. At June 30, 2019, BofASE's capital resources were $2.8 billion which exceeded the minimum Pillar 1 requirement of $1.0 billion.
Liquidity Risk
Funding and Liquidity Risk Management
Our primary liquidity risk management objective is to meet expected or unexpected cash flow and collateral needs while continuing to support our businesses and customers under a range of economic conditions. To achieve that objective, we analyze and monitor our liquidity risk under expected and stressed conditions, maintain liquidity and access to diverse funding sources, including our stable deposit base, and seek to align liquidity-related incentives and risks.
We define liquidity as readily available assets, limited to cash and high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities that we can use to meet our contractual and contingent financial obligations as those obligations arise. We manage our liquidity position through
25 Bank of America |
line of business and ALM activities, as well as through our legal entity funding strategy, on both a forward and current (including intraday) basis under both expected and stressed conditions. We believe that a centralized approach to funding and liquidity management enhances our ability to monitor liquidity requirements, maximizes access to funding sources, minimizes borrowing costs and facilitates timely responses to liquidity events. For more information regarding global funding and liquidity risk management, as well as our liquidity sources, liquidity arrangements, contingency planning and credit ratings discussed below, see Liquidity Risk in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
NB Holdings Corporation
We have intercompany arrangements with certain key subsidiaries under which we transferred certain assets of Bank of America Corporation, as the parent company, which is a separate and distinct legal entity from our banking and nonbank subsidiaries, and agreed to transfer certain additional parent company assets not needed to satisfy anticipated near-term expenditures, to NB Holdings Corporation, a wholly-owned holding company subsidiary (NB Holdings). The parent company is expected to continue to have access to the same flow of dividends, interest and other amounts of cash necessary to service its debt, pay dividends and perform other obligations as it would have had if it had not entered into these arrangements and transferred any assets. These arrangements support our preferred single point of entry resolution strategy, under which only the parent company would be resolved under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Global Liquidity Sources and Other Unencumbered Assets
Table 14 presents average Global Liquidity Sources (GLS) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

We maintain liquidity available to the Corporation, including the parent company and selected subsidiaries, in the form of cash and high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities. Typically, parent company and NB Holdings liquidity is in the form of cash deposited with BANA.
Our bank subsidiaries’ liquidity is primarily driven by deposit and lending activity, as well as securities valuation and net debt activity. Liquidity at bank subsidiaries excludes the cash deposited by the parent company and NB Holdings. Our bank subsidiaries can also generate incremental liquidity by pledging a range of unencumbered loans and securities to certain FHLBs and the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The cash we could have obtained by borrowing against this pool of specifically-identified eligible assets was $356 billion and $344 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We have established operational procedures to enable us to borrow against these assets, including regularly monitoring our total pool of eligible loans and securities collateral. Eligibility is defined in guidelines from the FHLBs and the Federal Reserve and is subject to change at their discretion. Due to regulatory restrictions, liquidity generated by the bank subsidiaries can generally be used only to fund obligations within
the bank subsidiaries, and transfers to the parent company or nonbank subsidiaries may be subject to prior regulatory approval.
Liquidity held in other regulated entities, comprised primarily of broker-dealer subsidiaries, is primarily available to meet the obligations of that entity and transfers to the parent company or to any other subsidiary may be subject to prior regulatory approval due to regulatory restrictions and minimum requirements. Our other regulated entities also hold unencumbered investment-grade securities and equities that we believe could be used to generate additional liquidity.
Table 15 presents the composition of average GLS for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Our GLS are substantially the same in composition to what qualifies as High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) under the final U.S. Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) rules. However, HQLA for purposes of calculating LCR is not reported at market value, but at a lower value that incorporates regulatory deductions and the exclusion of excess liquidity held at certain subsidiaries. The LCR is calculated as the amount of a financial institution’s unencumbered HQLA relative to the estimated net cash outflows the institution could encounter over a 30-day period of significant liquidity stress, expressed as a percentage. Our average consolidated HQLA, on
a net basis, was $449 billion and $446 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. For the same periods, the average consolidated LCR was 115 percent and 118 percent. Our LCR will fluctuate due to normal business flows from customer activity.
Liquidity Stress Analysis
We utilize liquidity stress analysis to assist us in determining the appropriate amounts of liquidity to maintain at the parent company and our subsidiaries to meet contractual and contingent cash outflows under a range of scenarios. For more information on our liquidity stress analysis, see Liquidity Risk – Liquidity Stress Analysis in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Diversified Funding Sources
We fund our assets primarily with a mix of deposits, and secured and unsecured liabilities through a centralized, globally coordinated funding approach diversified across products, programs, markets, currencies and investor groups. We fund a substantial portion of our lending activities through our deposits, which were $1.38 trillion at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Our trading activities in other regulated entities are primarily funded on a secured basis through securities lending and repurchase agreements, and these amounts will vary based on customer activity and market conditions.
Long-term Debt
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we issued $32.6 billion of long-term debt consisting of $19.4 billion for Bank of
Bank of America 26 |
America Corporation, substantially all of which was TLAC eligible, $6.1 billion for Bank of America, N.A. and $7.1 billion of other debt. Substantially all of the long-term, TLAC-eligible senior notes issued by Bank of America Corporation since late 2016 are callable, at our option, at least one year before each stated maturity date. The call features give us the flexibility to retire long-term notes before their final year outstanding, when they are no longer eligible to count toward TLAC requirements, and replace them with new TLAC-eligible debt, should we choose to do so.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had total long-term debt maturities and redemptions in the aggregate of $33.8 billion consisting of $13.2 billion for Bank of America Corporation, $16.1 billion for Bank of America, N.A. and $4.5 billion of other debt. Table 16 presents the carrying value of aggregate annual contractual maturities of long-term debt at June 30, 2019.

Total long-term debt increased $8.6 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to debt issuances and valuation adjustments, partially offset by maturities and redemptions. We may, from time to time, purchase outstanding debt instruments in various transactions, depending on market conditions, liquidity and other factors. Our other regulated entities may also make markets in our debt instruments to provide liquidity for investors. For more information on long-term debt funding, see Note 11 – Long-term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We use derivative transactions to manage the duration, interest rate and currency risks of our borrowings, considering the characteristics of the assets they are funding. For more information on our ALM activities, see Interest Rate Risk Management for the Banking Book on page 45.
We may issue unsecured debt in the form of structured notes for client purposes, certain of which qualify as TLAC-eligible debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we issued $4.7 billion of structured notes, which are debt obligations that pay investors returns linked to other debt or equity securities, indices, currencies or commodities. We typically hedge the returns we are obligated to pay on these liabilities with derivatives and/or investments in the underlying instruments, so that from a funding perspective, the cost is similar to our other unsecured long-term debt. We could be required to settle certain structured note obligations for cash or other securities prior to maturity under certain circumstances, which we consider for liquidity planning purposes. We believe, however, that a portion of such borrowings will remain outstanding beyond the earliest put or redemption date.
Substantially all of our senior and subordinated debt obligations contain no provisions that could trigger a requirement for an early repayment, require additional collateral support, result in changes to terms, accelerate maturity or create additional financial obligations upon an adverse change in our credit ratings, financial ratios, earnings, cash flows or stock price.
Credit Ratings
Credit ratings and outlooks are opinions expressed by rating agencies on our creditworthiness and that of our obligations or securities, including long-term debt, short-term borrowings, preferred stock and other securities, including asset securitizations.
On June 12, 2019, Fitch Ratings (Fitch) completed its periodic review of the 12 large, complex securities trading and universal banks, including Bank of America Corporation. The agency affirmed the long-term and short-term senior debt ratings of the Corporation
27 Bank of America |
and all of its rated subsidiaries, except Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Designated Activity Company, which Fitch upgraded by one notch to AA-/F1+. The rating outlook for all long-term ratings is currently stable.
On March 6, 2019, Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) upgraded the long-term and short-term ratings of the Corporation by one notch to A2/P-1 from A3/P-2 for senior debt, as well as the long-term ratings of its rated subsidiaries, including BANA, which the agency upgraded to Aa2 from Aa3 for senior debt. Moody’s concurrently affirmed the short-term ratings of the Corporation’s rated subsidiaries, including BANA. Moody’s cited the Corporation’s strengthening profitability, continued adherence to a conservative risk profile and stable capital ratios as rationale for the upgrade. This concluded the review for upgrade that Moody’s initiated on December 5, 2018. The rating outlook for all long-term ratings is currently stable.
The ratings from Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings (S&P) for the Corporation and its subsidiaries did not change from those
disclosed in the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Table 18 presents the Corporation’s current long-term/short-term senior debt ratings and outlooks expressed by the rating agencies.
BofAS and BofASE, which were initially rated by S&P and Fitch during the first quarter of 2019, are now operational in the U.S. and European Economic Area (excluding the U.K.). The long-term and the short-term debt ratings of both entities were unchanged during the second quarter of 2019.
For more information on additional collateral and termination payments that could be required in connection with certain over-the-counter derivative contracts and other trading agreements as a result of a credit rating downgrade, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein and Item 1A.

Credit Risk Management
For information on our credit risk management activities, see Consumer Portfolio Credit Risk Management below, Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management on page 35, Non-U.S. Portfolio on page 40, Provision for Credit Losses on page 41, Allowance for Credit Losses on page 41, and Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases and Note 6 – Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For information on the new accounting standard on credit losses that is effective on January 1, 2020 and the potential impact on our allowance for credit losses, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Consumer Portfolio Credit Risk Management
Credit risk management for the consumer portfolio begins with initial underwriting and continues throughout a borrower’s credit cycle. Statistical techniques in conjunction with experiential judgment are used in all aspects of portfolio management including underwriting, product pricing, risk appetite, setting credit limits, and establishing operating processes and metrics to quantify and balance risks and returns. Statistical models are built using detailed behavioral information from external sources such as credit bureaus and/or internal historical experience and are a component of our consumer credit risk management process. These models are used in part to assist in making both new and ongoing credit decisions, as well as portfolio management strategies, including authorizations and line management, collection practices and strategies, and determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and allocated capital for credit risk.
Consumer Credit Portfolio
Improvement in home prices continued during the six months ended June 30, 2019 resulting in improved credit quality compared to the same period in 2018. Additionally, lower credit losses in the consumer real estate portfolio due primarily to non-core loan sales were partially offset by seasoning in the U.S. credit card portfolio compared to the same period in 2018.
Improved credit quality and continued loan balance runoff primarily in the non-core consumer real estate portfolio, partially offset by seasoning within the U.S. credit card portfolio, drove a $113 million decrease in the consumer allowance for loan and lease losses during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $4.7 billion. For additional information, see Allowance for Credit Losses on page 41.
For more information on our accounting policies regarding delinquencies, nonperforming status, charge-offs and troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for the consumer portfolio, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Table 19 presents our outstanding consumer loans and leases, consumer nonperforming loans and accruing consumer loans past due 90 days or more. Nonperforming loans do not include past due consumer credit card loans, other unsecured loans and in general, consumer loans not secured by real estate (bankruptcy loans are included) as these loans are typically charged off no later than the end of the month in which the loan becomes 180 days past due. Real estate-secured past due consumer loans that
Bank of America 28 |
are insured by the FHA or individually insured under long-term standby agreements with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (collectively, the fully-insured loan portfolio) are reported as accruing as opposed to nonperforming since the principal repayment is insured. Fully-insured loans included in accruing past due 90 days or more are primarily from our repurchases of delinquent FHA loans
pursuant to our servicing agreements with the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). Nonperforming loans and accruing balances past due 90 days or more also do not include loans accounted for under the fair value option even though the customer may be contractually past due.

Table 21 presents outstandings, nonperforming balances, net charge-offs, allowance for loan and lease losses and provision for loan and lease losses for the core and non-core portfolios within the consumer real estate portfolio. We categorize consumer real estate loans as core and non-core based on loan and customer characteristics such as origination date, product type, loan-to-value (LTV), Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score and delinquency status consistent with our current consumer and mortgage servicing strategy. Generally, loans that were originated after January 1, 2010, qualified under government-sponsored enterprise underwriting guidelines, or otherwise met our underwriting
guidelines in place in 2015 are characterized as core loans. All other loans are generally characterized as non-core loans and represent runoff portfolios. Core loans as reported in Table 21 include loans held in the Consumer Banking and GWIM segments, as well as loans held for ALM activities in All Other.
As shown in Table 21, outstanding core consumer real estate loans increased $11.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 driven by an increase of $13.5 billion in residential mortgage, partially offset by a $2.4 billion decrease in home equity. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold $891 million and $1.8 billion of consumer real estate loans.

(1) | Outstandings and nonperforming loans exclude loans accounted for under the fair value option. Consumer loans accounted for under the fair value option include residential mortgage loans of $300 million and $336 million and home equity loans of $358 million and $346 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. For additional information, see Note 16 – Fair Value Option to the Consolidated Financial Statements. |
We believe that the presentation of information adjusted to exclude the impact of the fully-insured loan portfolio and loans accounted for under the fair value option is more representative of the ongoing operations and credit quality of the business. As a result, in the following tables and discussions of the residential mortgage and home equity portfolios, we exclude loans accounted for under the fair value option and provide information that excludes the impact of the fully-insured loan portfolio in certain credit quality statistics.
Residential Mortgage
The residential mortgage portfolio made up the largest percentage of our consumer loan portfolio at 49 percent of consumer loans and leases at June 30, 2019. Approximately 47 percent of the residential mortgage portfolio was in Consumer Banking and 36 percent was in GWIM. The remaining portion was in All Other and was comprised of originated loans, purchased loans used in our
overall ALM activities, delinquent FHA loans repurchased pursuant to our servicing agreements with GNMA as well as loans repurchased related to our representations and warranties.
Outstanding balances in the residential mortgage portfolio increased $11.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as retention of new originations was partially offset by loan sales of $1.0 billion and runoff.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the residential mortgage portfolio included $19.3 billion and $20.1 billion of outstanding fully-insured loans, of which $12.7 billion and $14.0 billion had FHA insurance with the remainder protected by long-term standby agreements.
Table 22 presents certain residential mortgage key credit statistics on both a reported basis and excluding the fully-insured loan portfolio. The following discussion presents the residential mortgage portfolio excluding the fully-insured loan portfolio.

Nonperforming residential mortgage loans decreased $149 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily driven by sales. Of the nonperforming residential mortgage loans at June 30, 2019, $711 million, or 41 percent, were current on contractual payments. Loans accruing past due 30 days or more decreased $102 million due to continued improvement in credit quality as well as loan sales in the non-core portfolio.
Net charge-offs decreased $4 million to $3 million and $14 million to a net recovery of $13 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 primarily due to continued improvement in credit quality.
Loans with a refreshed LTV greater than 100 percent represented one percent of the residential mortgage loan portfolio at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Of the loans with a refreshed LTV greater than 100 percent, less than one percent were nonperforming at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Loans with a refreshed LTV greater than 100 percent reflect loans where the outstanding carrying value of the loan is greater than the most recent valuation of the property securing the loan.
Of the $200.6 billion in total residential mortgage loans outstanding at June 30, 2019, as shown in Table 22, 28 percent were originated as interest-only loans. The outstanding balance of interest-only residential mortgage loans that have entered the amortization period was $8.5 billion, or 15 percent, at June 30, 2019. Residential mortgage loans that have entered the amortization period generally have experienced a higher rate of
early stage delinquencies and nonperforming status compared to the residential mortgage portfolio as a whole. At June 30, 2019, $168 million, or two percent, of outstanding interest-only residential mortgages that had entered the amortization period were accruing past due 30 days or more compared to $1.1 billion, or one percent, for the entire residential mortgage portfolio. In addition, at June 30, 2019, $371 million, or four percent, of outstanding interest-only residential mortgage loans that had entered the amortization period were nonperforming, of which $143 million were contractually current, compared to $1.7 billion, or one percent, for the entire residential mortgage portfolio. Loans that have yet to enter the amortization period in our interest-only residential mortgage portfolio are primarily well-collateralized loans to our wealth management clients and have an interest-only period of three to ten years. Approximately 92 percent of these loans that have yet to enter the amortization period will not be required to make a fully-amortizing payment until 2022 or later.
Table 23 presents outstandings, nonperforming loans and net charge-offs by certain state concentrations for the residential mortgage portfolio. The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) within California represented 16 percent of outstandings at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. In the New York area, the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island MSA made up 13 percent of outstandings at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Home Equity
At June 30, 2019, the home equity portfolio made up 10 percent of the consumer portfolio and was comprised of home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), home equity loans and reverse mortgages.
At June 30, 2019, our HELOC portfolio had an outstanding balance of $40.8 billion, or 92 percent of the total home equity portfolio, compared to $44.3 billion, also 92 percent, at December 31, 2018. HELOCs generally have an initial draw period of 10 years, and after the initial draw period ends, the loans generally convert to 15- or 20-year amortizing loans.
At June 30, 2019, our home equity loan portfolio had an outstanding balance of $1.6 billion, or four percent of the total home equity portfolio, compared to $1.8 billion, also four percent, at December 31, 2018. Home equity loans are almost all fixed-rate loans with amortizing payment terms of 10 to 30 years, and of the $1.6 billion at June 30, 2019, 69 percent have 25- to 30-year terms. At June 30, 2019, our reverse mortgage portfolio had an outstanding balance of $1.7 billion, or four percent of the total home equity portfolio, compared to $2.2 billion, also four percent, at December 31, 2018. We no longer originate reverse mortgages.
At June 30, 2019, 77 percent of the home equity portfolio was in Consumer Banking, 15 percent was in All Other and the
remainder of the portfolio was primarily in GWIM. Outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio decreased $4.2 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to paydowns and loan sales of $803 million outpacing new originations and draws on existing lines. Of the total home equity portfolio at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $16.1 billion, or 36 percent, and $17.3 billion, or 36 percent, were in first-lien positions. At June 30, 2019, outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio that were in a second-lien or more junior-lien position and where we also held the first-lien loan totaled $7.5 billion, or 17 percent of our total home equity portfolio.
Unused HELOCs totaled $43.5 billion at June 30, 2019 compared to $43.1 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of new production partially offset by accounts reaching the end of their draw period, which automatically eliminates open line exposure, and customers choosing to close accounts. The HELOC utilization rate was 48 percent and 51 percent at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(3) | These vintages of loans have higher refreshed combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratios and accounted for 45 percent and 49 percent of nonperforming home equity loans at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. |
Nonperforming outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio decreased $690 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as outflows, including sales, outpaced new inflows. Of the nonperforming home equity loans at June 30, 2019, $626 million, or 52 percent, were current on contractual payments. Nonperforming loans that are contractually current primarily consist of collateral-dependent TDRs, including those that have been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, junior-lien loans where the underlying first lien is 90 days or more past due, as well as loans that have not yet demonstrated a sustained period of payment performance following a TDR. We estimate that approximately $139 million of junior-lien loans had first-lien loans that were 90 days or more past due. In addition, $354 million, or 29 percent, of nonperforming home equity loans were 180 days or more past due and had been written down to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell. Accruing loans that were 30 days or more past due decreased $97 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Net charge-offs decreased $155 million to a net recovery of $155 million, and $177 million to a net recovery of $144 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 primarily driven by recoveries from the sales of previously charged off non-core home equity loans.
Outstanding balances with a refreshed CLTV greater than 100 percent comprised three percent of the home equity portfolio at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Outstanding
balances with a refreshed CLTV greater than 100 percent reflect loans where our loan and available line of credit combined with any outstanding senior liens against the property are equal to or greater than the most recent valuation of the property securing the loan. Depending on the value of the property, there may be collateral in excess of the first lien that is available to reduce the severity of loss on the second lien. Of those outstanding balances with a refreshed CLTV greater than 100 percent, 96 percent of the customers were current on their home equity loan and 92 percent of second-lien loans with a refreshed CLTV greater than 100 percent were current on both their second-lien and underlying first-lien loans at June 30, 2019.
Of the $44.1 billion in total home equity portfolio outstandings at June 30, 2019, as shown in Table 24, 18 percent require interest-only payments. The outstanding balance of HELOCs that have reached the end of their draw period and have entered the amortization period was $13.8 billion at June 30, 2019. The HELOCs that have entered the amortization period have experienced a higher percentage of early stage delinquencies and nonperforming status when compared to the HELOC portfolio as a whole. At June 30, 2019, $189 million, or one percent, of outstanding HELOCs that had entered the amortization period were accruing past due 30 days or more. In addition, at June 30, 2019, $1.0 billion, or eight percent, were nonperforming. For more information on HELOC amortization, see Consumer Portfolio Credit

Risk Management in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Although we do not actively track how many of our home equity customers pay only the minimum amount due on their home equity loans and lines, we can infer some of this information through a review of our HELOC portfolio that we service and that is still in its revolving period. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, 26 percent of these customers with an outstanding balance did not pay any principal on their HELOCs.
Table 25 presents outstandings, nonperforming balances and net charge-offs by certain state concentrations for the home equity portfolio. In the New York area, the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island MSA made up 13 percent of the outstanding home equity portfolio at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana MSA within California made up 11 percent of the outstanding home equity portfolio at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

U.S. Credit Card
At June 30, 2019, 97 percent of the U.S. credit card portfolio was managed in Consumer Banking with the remainder in GWIM. Outstandings in the U.S. credit card portfolio decreased $4.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $94.0 billion due to a seasonal decline in purchase volumes. Net charge-offs increased $23 million to $762 million and $67 million to $1.5 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 due to portfolio seasoning. U.S. credit card loans 30 days or more past due and still accruing
interest decreased $151 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest decreased $53 million, driven by seasonal declines.
Unused lines of credit for U.S. credit card totaled $342.5 billion and $334.8 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The increase in unused lines was driven by seasonally lower purchase volumes, as well as account growth and lines of credit increases.

Direct/Indirect Consumer
At June 30, 2019, 56 percent of the direct/indirect portfolio was included in Consumer Banking (consumer auto and specialty lending – automotive, recreational vehicle, marine, aircraft and consumer personal loans) and 44 percent was included in GWIM (principally securities-based lending loans).
Outstandings in the direct/indirect portfolio decreased $316 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $90.9 billion
primarily due to declines in securities-based lending driven by repayments and lower draws. Net charge-offs decreased $1 million to $40 million and $6 million to $94 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018.

Nonperforming Consumer Loans, Leases and Foreclosed Properties Activity
Table 28 presents nonperforming consumer loans, leases and foreclosed properties activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, nonperforming consumer loans decreased $815 million to $3.0 billion primarily driven by loan sales of $666 million.
At June 30, 2019, $950 million, or 31 percent, of nonperforming loans were 180 days or more past due and had been written down to their estimated property value less costs to sell. In addition, at June 30, 2019, $1.4 billion, or 46 percent, of nonperforming consumer loans were modified and are now current after successful trial periods, or are current loans classified as nonperforming loans in accordance with applicable policies.
Foreclosed properties decreased $39 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $205 million as liquidations
outpaced additions. Certain delinquent government-guaranteed loans (principally FHA-insured loans) are excluded from our nonperforming loans and foreclosed properties activity as we expect we will be reimbursed once the property is conveyed to the guarantor for principal and, up to certain limits, costs incurred during the foreclosure process and interest accrued during the holding period.
We classify junior-lien home equity loans as nonperforming when the first-lien loan becomes 90 days past due even if the junior-lien loan is performing. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $139 million and $221 million of such junior-lien home equity loans were included in nonperforming loans and leases.
Nonperforming loans also include certain loans that have been modified in TDRs where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Nonperforming TDRs are included in Table 28.

In addition to modifying consumer real estate loans, we work with customers who are experiencing financial difficulty by modifying credit card and other consumer loans. Credit card and other consumer loan modifications generally involve a reduction in the customer’s interest rate on the account and placing the customer on a fixed payment plan not exceeding 60 months, all of which are considered TDRs (the renegotiated TDR portfolio).
Modifications of credit card and other consumer loans are made through renegotiation programs utilizing direct customer contact, but may also utilize external renegotiation programs. The renegotiated TDR portfolio is excluded in large part from Table 28 as substantially all of the loans remain on accrual status until either charged off or paid in full. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our renegotiated TDR portfolio was $627 million and $566 million, of which $533 million and $481 million were current or less than 30 days past due under the modified terms. The increase in the renegotiated TDR portfolio was primarily driven by new renegotiated enrollments outpacing runoff of existing portfolios.
Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management
Commercial credit risk is evaluated and managed with the goal that concentrations of credit exposure continue to be aligned with our risk appetite. We review, measure and manage concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography, customer relationship and loan size. We also review, measure and manage commercial real estate loans by geographic location and property type. In addition, within our non-U.S. portfolio, we evaluate exposures by region and by country. Tables 34, 37 and 40 summarize our concentrations. We also utilize syndications of exposure to third parties, loan sales, hedging and other risk mitigation techniques to manage the size and risk profile of the
commercial credit portfolio. For more information on our industry
concentrations, see Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management – Industry Concentrations on page 38 and Table 37.
For more information on our accounting policies regarding delinquencies, nonperforming status and net charge-offs for the commercial portfolio, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Commercial Credit Portfolio
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, credit quality among large corporate and middle-market borrowers in our commercial and industrial portfolio remained strong. Credit quality of commercial real estate borrowers in most sectors remained stable with conservative LTV ratios. However, some of the real estate markets experienced slowing tenant demand and decelerating rental income.
Total commercial utilized credit exposure increased $7.8 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $628.8 billion primarily driven by higher loans and leases, partially offset by lower loans held-for-sale. The utilization rate for loans and leases, standby letters of credit (SBLCs) and financial guarantees, and commercial letters of credit, in the aggregate, was 59 percent at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Table 30 presents commercial credit exposure by type for utilized, unfunded and total binding committed credit exposure. Commercial utilized credit exposure includes SBLCs and financial guarantees and commercial letters of credit that have been issued and for which we are legally bound to advance funds under prescribed conditions during a specified time period, and excludes exposure related to trading account assets. Although funds have not yet been advanced, these exposure types are considered utilized for credit risk management purposes.

Table 33 presents commercial reservable criticized utilized exposure by loan type. Criticized exposure corresponds to the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful asset categories as defined by regulatory authorities. Total commercial reservable criticized utilized exposure increased $773 million, or seven percent, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 driven by a small number of client downgrades across various industries and was not indicative of broader issues in the portfolio. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 92 percent and 91 percent of commercial reservable criticized utilized exposure was secured.

Commercial and Industrial
Commercial and industrial loans include U.S. commercial and non-U.S. commercial portfolios.
U.S. Commercial
At June 30, 2019, 70 percent of the U.S. commercial loan portfolio, excluding small business, was managed in Global Banking, 15 percent in Global Markets, 13 percent in GWIM (generally business-purpose loans for high net worth clients) and the remainder primarily in Consumer Banking. U.S. commercial loans increased $6.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily in Global Banking. Net charge-offs increased $47 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to a single-name utility client. Reservable criticized utilized exposure increased $600 million, or eight percent, driven by a small number of client downgrades across industries.
Non-U.S. Commercial
At June 30, 2019, 81 percent of the non-U.S. commercial loan portfolio was managed in Global Banking and 19 percent in Global Markets. Non-U.S. commercial loans increased $5.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily in Global Banking. Nonperforming non-U.S. commercial loans increased $42 million due to a single-name client. Reservable criticized utilized exposure increased $238 million, or 23 percent, driven by a few client downgrades. For more information on the non-U.S. commercial portfolio, see Non-U.S. Portfolio on page 40.
Commercial Real Estate
Commercial real estate primarily includes commercial loans and leases secured by non-owner-occupied real estate and is dependent on the sale or lease of the real estate as the primary source of repayment. Outstanding loans increased $814 million, or one percent, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $61.7 billion due to new originations slightly outpacing paydowns. The portfolio remains diversified across property types and geographic regions. California represented the largest state concentration at 24 percent and 23 percent of the commercial real estate portfolio at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The commercial real estate portfolio is predominantly managed in Global Banking and consists of loans made primarily to public and private developers, and commercial real estate firms.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we continued to see low default rates and solid credit quality in both the residential and non-residential portfolios. We use a number of proactive risk mitigation initiatives to reduce adversely rated exposure in the commercial real estate portfolio, including transfers of deteriorating exposures to management by independent special asset officers and the pursuit of loan restructurings or asset sales to achieve the best results for our customers and the Corporation.
Nonperforming commercial real estate loans and foreclosed properties decreased $40 million, or 19 percent, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $172 million, due to a loan sale.

U.S. Small Business Commercial
The U.S. small business commercial loan portfolio is comprised of small business card loans and small business loans managed in Consumer Banking. Credit card-related products were 53 percent
and 51 percent of the U.S. small business commercial portfolio at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Of the U.S. small business commercial net charge-offs, 99 percent and 97 percent were credit card-related products for the three and six months

ended June 30, 2019 compared to 92 percent and 94 percent for same periods in 2018.
Nonperforming Commercial Loans, Leases and Foreclosed Properties Activity
Table 35 presents the nonperforming commercial loans, leases and foreclosed properties activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Nonperforming loans do not include loans accounted for under the fair value option. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, nonperforming commercial loans
and leases increased $58 million to $1.2 billion. At June 30, 2019, 90 percent of commercial nonperforming loans, leases and foreclosed properties were secured and 57 percent were contractually current. Commercial nonperforming loans were carried at 86 percent of their unpaid principal balance before consideration of the allowance for loan and lease losses as the carrying value of these loans has been reduced to the estimated collateral value less costs to sell.

Industry Concentrations
Table 37 presents commercial committed and utilized credit exposure by industry and the total net credit default protection purchased to cover the funded and unfunded portions of certain credit exposures. Our commercial credit exposure is diversified across a broad range of industries. Total commercial committed exposure increased $22.4 billion, or two percent, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $1.0 trillion. The increase in commercial committed exposure was concentrated in the Finance companies, Energy and Consumer services industry sectors. Increases were partially offset by decreased exposure to the
Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, Technology hardware and equipment, and Insurance industry sectors.
For information on industry limits, see Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management - Industry Concentrations in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Asset managers and funds, our largest industry concentration with committed exposure of $108.0 billion, as well as Capital goods, our third largest industry concentration with committed exposure of $75.1 billion, remained relatively unchanged during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Real estate, our second largest industry concentration with committed exposure of $89.7

billion, increased $3.2 billion, or four percent, during the six months ended June 30, 2019. For more information on the commercial real estate and related portfolios, see Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management – Commercial Real Estate on page 37.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, Finance companies committed exposure increased $6.2 billion. This
growth occurred in Consumer finance, Diversified financials, and Thrift and mortgage finance. Energy committed exposure increased $5.1 billion as a result of growth in Oil, gas and consumable fuels. Consumer services committed exposure increased $3.9 billion led by increases in Recreation and amusement and Sports.

Risk Mitigation
We purchase credit protection to cover the funded portion as well as the unfunded portion of certain credit exposures. To lower the cost of obtaining our desired credit protection levels, we may add credit exposure within an industry, borrower or counterparty group by selling protection.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, net notional credit default protection purchased in our credit derivatives portfolio to hedge our funded and unfunded exposures for which we elected
the fair value option, as well as certain other credit exposures, was $3.3 billion and $2.7 billion. We recorded net losses on these positions of $13 million and $77 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to net gains of $7 million and net losses of $10 million for the same periods in 2018 on these positions. The gains and losses on these instruments were offset by gains and losses on the related exposures. The Value-at-Risk (VaR) results for these exposures are included in the fair
value option portfolio information in Table 43. For additional information, see Trading Risk Management on page 43.

Non-U.S. Portfolio
Our non-U.S. credit and trading portfolios are subject to country risk. We define country risk as the risk of loss from unfavorable economic and political conditions, currency fluctuations, social instability and changes in government policies. A risk management framework is in place to measure, monitor and manage non-U.S. risk and exposures. In addition to the direct risk of doing business in a country, we also are exposed to indirect country risks (e.g., related to the collateral received on secured financing transactions or related to client clearing activities). These indirect exposures are managed in the normal course of business through credit, market and operational risk governance, rather than through country risk governance.
Table 40 presents our 20 largest non-U.S. country exposures at June 30, 2019. These exposures accounted for 90 percent of our total non-U.S. exposure at June 30, 2019 and 89 percent at December 31, 2018. Net country exposure for these 20 countries increased $29.3 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily driven by increased sovereign and corporate exposure across multiple countries. For more information on the top 20 non-U.S. countries exposure, see Non-U.S. Portfolio in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

A number of economic conditions and geopolitical events have given rise to risk aversion in certain emerging markets. Our largest emerging market country exposure at June 30, 2019 was India, with net exposure of $14.2 billion, concentrated in multinational companies and large commercial banks.
The outlook for policy direction and therefore economic performance in the EU remains uncertain as a consequence of reduced political cohesion among EU countries. Additionally, we believe that the uncertainty in the U.K.’s ability to negotiate a favorable exit from the EU will further weigh on economic performance. For additional information, see Executive Summary – Recent Developments – U.K. Exit from the EU on page 3. Our largest EU country exposure at June 30, 2019 was the U.K. with
net exposure of $55.2 billion, which represents a $306 million increase from December 31, 2018. Our second largest EU exposure was Germany with net exposure of $45.8 billion, which represents a $17.2 billion increase from December 31, 2018. The increase in Germany was primarily driven by increased sovereign exposure.
In light of ongoing trade tensions, we continue to closely monitor our exposures to tariff-sensitive regions and industries, particularly to countries that account for a large percentage of U.S. trade, such as China. Our total net country exposure to China at June 30, 2019 was $13.2 billion, concentrated in large state-owned companies, subsidiaries of multinational corporations and commercial banks.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses increased $30 million to $857 million, and $209 million to $1.9 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. The provision for credit losses was $30 million and $8 million lower than net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, resulting in a decrease in the allowance for credit losses. This compared to a decrease of $169 million and $246 million in the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
Net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were $887 million and $1.9 billion compared to $996 million and $1.9 billion for the same periods in 2018. We expect net charge-offs of approximately $1 billion for each of the remaining quarters in 2019, assuming current economic conditions continue.
The provision for credit losses for the consumer portfolio decreased $117 million to $640 million and $35 million to $1.5 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by home equity loan sales, partially offset by seasoning in the U.S. credit card portfolio.
The provision for credit losses for the commercial portfolio, including unfunded lending commitments, increased $147 million to $217 million and $244 million to $400 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by energy releases in the prior-year periods. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2019 included a single-name utility client charge-off.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the factors that impacted the allowance for loan and lease losses included improvement in the credit quality of the consumer real estate portfolios driven by continuing improvements in the U.S. economy and strong labor markets, proactive credit risk management initiatives and the impact of high credit quality originations. Evidencing the improvements in the U.S. economy and strong labor markets are low levels of unemployment and increases in home prices. In addition to these improvements, in the consumer portfolio, nonperforming consumer loans decreased $815 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as loan sales, returns to performing status and paydowns continued to outpace new nonaccrual loans.
The allowance for loan and lease losses for the consumer portfolio, as presented in Table 42, was $4.7 billion at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $113 million from December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily in the consumer real estate portfolio, partially offset by an increase in the U.S. credit card portfolio. The reduction in the allowance for the consumer real estate portfolio
was due to improved home prices, lower nonperforming loans and a decrease in loan balances in our non-core portfolio. The increase in the allowance for the U.S. credit card portfolio was driven by portfolio seasoning.
The allowance for loan and lease losses for the commercial portfolio, as presented in Table 42, was $4.8 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of $39 million from December 31, 2018. Commercial reservable criticized utilized exposure increased to $11.8 billion at June 30, 2019 from $11.1 billion (to 2.19 percent from 2.08 percent of total commercial reservable utilized exposure) at December 31, 2018, and nonperforming commercial loans increased to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2019 from $1.1 billion (to 0.23 percent from 0.22 percent of outstanding commercial loans excluding loans accounted for under the fair value option) at December 31, 2018 with the increases spread across multiple industries. See Tables 31, 32 and 33 for more details on key commercial credit statistics.
The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases outstanding was 1.00 percent at June 30, 2019 compared to 1.02 percent at December 31, 2018. For more information on the allowance for loan and lease losses, see Allowance for Credit Losses in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting standard regarding the measurement of the allowance for credit losses that will be effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2020. Upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2020, we expect that, based on current expectations of future economic conditions, our allowance for credit losses on loans and leases may increase by up to 20 percent from its allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2019, as disclosed herein, with a large portion of that increase driven by the U.S. credit card portfolio. The ultimate impact will depend on the characteristics of our portfolios as well as the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts upon adoption, the ultimate validation of models and methodologies, and other management judgments. For additional information regarding this new accounting standard, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments
In addition to the allowance for loan and lease losses, we also estimate probable losses related to unfunded lending commitments such as letters of credit, financial guarantees, unfunded bankers’ acceptances and binding loan commitments, excluding commitments accounted for under the fair value option. For more information on the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, see Allowance for Credit Losses in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The reserve for unfunded lending commitments was $806 million at June 30, 2019 compared to $797 million at December 31, 2018.

Market Risk Management
For more information on our market risk management process, see Market Risk Management in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Trading Risk Management
To evaluate risks in our trading activities, we focus on the actual and potential volatility of revenues generated by individual positions as well as portfolios of positions. VaR is a common statistic used to measure market risk. Our primary VaR statistic is equivalent to a 99 percent confidence level, which means that for a VaR with a one-day holding period, there should not be losses in excess of VaR, on average, 99 out of 100 trading days.
Table 43 presents the total market-based portfolio VaR which is the combination of the total covered positions (and less liquid trading positions) portfolio and the fair value option portfolio. For more information on our trading risk management process and on the market risk VaR trading activities, see Trading Risk
Management in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The total market-based portfolio VaR results in Table 43 include market risk to which we are exposed from all business segments, excluding credit valuation adjustment (CVA), DVA and related hedges. The majority of this portfolio is within the Global Markets segment.
Table 43 presents period-end, average, high and low daily trading VaR for the three months ended June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, as well as average daily trading VaR for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 using a 99 percent confidence level. The amounts disclosed in Table 43 and Table 44 align to the view of covered positions used in the Basel 3 capital calculations. Foreign exchange and commodity positions are always considered covered positions, regardless of trading or banking treatment for the trade, except for structural foreign currency positions that are excluded with prior regulatory approval.

Additional VaR statistics produced within our single VaR model are provided in Table 44 at the same level of detail as in Table 43. Evaluating VaR with additional statistics allows for an increased understanding of the risks in the portfolio as the historical market data used in the VaR calculation does not necessarily follow a predefined statistical distribution.

Backtesting
The accuracy of the VaR methodology is evaluated by backtesting, which compares the daily VaR results, utilizing a one-day holding period, against a comparable subset of trading revenue. For more information on our backtesting process, see Trading Risk Management – Backtesting in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no days in which there was a backtesting excess for our total covered portfolio VaR, utilizing a one-day holding period.
Total Trading-related Revenue
Total trading-related revenue, excluding brokerage fees, and CVA, DVA and funding valuation adjustment gains (losses), represents the total amount earned from trading positions, including market-based net interest income, which are taken in a diverse range of financial instruments and markets. For additional information, see Trading Risk Management – Total Trading-related Revenue in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following histogram is a graphic depiction of trading volatility and illustrates the daily level of trading-related revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, positive trading-related revenue was recorded for 100 percent of the trading days, of which 91 percent were daily trading gains of over $25 million. This compares to the three months ended March 31, 2019 where positive trading-related revenue was recorded for 100 percent of the trading days, of which 89 percent were daily trading gains of over $25 million.
Trading Portfolio Stress Testing
Because the very nature of a VaR model suggests results can exceed our estimates and it is dependent on a limited historical window, we also stress test our portfolio using scenario analysis. This analysis estimates the change in the value of our trading portfolio that may result from abnormal market movements. For additional information, see Trading Risk Management – Trading Portfolio Stress Testing in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following discussion presents net interest income for banking book activities. For additional information, see Interest Rate Risk Management for the Banking Book in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Table 45 presents the spot and 12-month forward rates used in our baseline forecasts at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Table 46 shows the pretax impact to forecasted net interest income over the next 12 months from June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, resulting from instantaneous parallel and non-parallel shocks to the market-based forward curve. Periodically we evaluate the scenarios presented so that they are meaningful in the context of the current rate environment.
In the six months ended June 30, 2019, the asset sensitivity of our balance sheet increased primarily due to decreases in interest rates. We continue to be asset sensitive to a parallel move in interest rates with the majority of that impact coming from the short end of the yield curve. Additionally, higher interest rates impact the fair value of debt securities and, accordingly, for debt

securities classified as AFS, may adversely affect accumulated OCI and thus capital levels under the Basel 3 capital rules. Under instantaneous upward parallel shifts, the near-term adverse impact to Basel 3 capital is reduced over time by offsetting positive impacts to net interest income. For more information on Basel 3, see Capital Management – Regulatory Capital on page 22.

The sensitivity analysis in Table 46 assumes that we take no action in response to these rate shocks and does not assume any change in other macroeconomic variables normally correlated with changes in interest rates. As part of our ALM activities, we use securities, certain residential mortgages, and interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives in managing interest rate sensitivity.
The behavior of our deposits portfolio in the baseline forecast and in alternate interest rate scenarios is a key assumption in our projected estimates of net interest income. The sensitivity analysis in Table 46 assumes no change in deposit portfolio size or mix from the baseline forecast in alternate rate environments. In higher rate scenarios, any customer activity resulting in the replacement of low-cost or noninterest-bearing deposits with higher yielding deposits or market-based funding would reduce our benefit in those scenarios.
Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts
Interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts are utilized in our ALM activities and serve as an efficient tool to manage our
interest rate and foreign exchange risk. We use derivatives to hedge the variability in cash flows or changes in fair value on our balance sheet due to interest rate and foreign exchange components. For more information on our hedging activities, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For more information on interest rate contracts and risk management, see Interest Rate Risk Management for the Banking Book in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We use interest rate derivative instruments to hedge the variability in the cash flows of our assets and liabilities and other forecasted transactions (collectively referred to as cash flow hedges). The net losses on both open and terminated cash flow hedge derivative instruments recorded in accumulated OCI were$604 million and $1.3 billion, on a pretax basis, at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These net losses are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the same period as the hedged cash flows affect earnings and will decrease income or increase expense on the respective hedged cash flows. Assuming no change in open cash flow derivative hedge positions and no changes in prices or interest rates beyond what is implied in forward yield curves at June 30, 2019, the pretax net losses are expected to be reclassified into earnings as follows: 23 percent within the next year, 42 percent in years two through five and 19 percent in years six through ten, with the remaining 16 percent thereafter. For more information on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We hedge our net investment in non-U.S. operations determined to have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar using forward foreign exchange contracts that typically settle in less than 180 days, cross-currency basis swaps and foreign exchange options. We recorded net after-tax losses on derivatives in accumulated OCI associated with net investment hedges which were offset by gains on our net investments in consolidated non-U.S. entities at June 30, 2019.
Table 47 presents derivatives utilized in our ALM activities and shows the notional amount, fair value, weighted-average receive-fixed and pay-fixed rates, expected maturity and average estimated durations of our open ALM derivatives at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These amounts do not include derivative hedges on our MSRs. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the fair value of receive-fixed interest rate swaps increased while pay-fixed interest rates swaps decreased, driven by lower swap rates.

Mortgage Banking Risk Management
We originate, fund and service mortgage loans, which subject us to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks, among others. We determine whether loans will be held for investment or held for sale at the time of commitment and manage credit and liquidity risks by selling or securitizing a portion of the loans we originate.
Changes in interest rates impact the value of interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) and the related residential mortgage loans held for sale (LHFS), as well as the value of the MSRs. Because the interest rate risks of these hedged items offset, we combine them into one overall hedged item with one combined economic
hedge portfolio consisting of derivative contracts and securities. For more information on IRLCs and the related residential mortgage LHFS, see Mortgage Banking Risk Management in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded gains of $78 million and $139 million related to the change in fair value of the MSRs, IRLCs and LHFS, net of gains and losses on the hedge portfolio, compared to gains of $60 million and $129 million for the same periods in 2018. For more information on MSRs, see Note 15 – Fair Value Measurements to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Complex Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting principles are essential in understanding the MD&A. Many of our significant accounting principles require complex judgments to estimate the values of assets and liabilities. We have procedures and processes in place to facilitate making these judgments. For additional information, see Complex Accounting Estimates in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We completed our annual goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2019 for all of our reporting units that had goodwill. Based on the results of the annual goodwill impairment test, we determined there was no impairment. For more information, see Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The nature of and accounting for goodwill and intangible assets are discussed in the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Complex Accounting Estimates of the MD&A.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
Bank of America Corporation, a bank holding company and a financial holding company, provides a diverse range of financial services and products throughout the U.S. and in certain international markets. The term “the Corporation” as used herein may refer to Bank of America Corporation, individually, Bank of America Corporation and its subsidiaries, or certain of Bank of America Corporation’s subsidiaries or affiliates.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities (VIEs) where the Corporation is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Results of operations of acquired companies are included from the dates of acquisition, and for VIEs, from the dates that the Corporation became the primary beneficiary. Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Corporation accounts for investments in companies for which it owns a voting interest and for which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing decisions using the equity method of accounting. These investments are included in other assets. Equity method investments are subject to impairment testing, and the Corporation’s proportionate share of income or loss is included in other income.
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Realized results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.
These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The nature of the Corporation’s business is such that the results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results, have been made. The Corporation evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Accounting Standards Issued and Not Yet Adopted
Accounting for Financial Instruments -- Credit Losses
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting standard that will be effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2020. This standard replaces the existing measurement of the allowance for credit losses that is based on management’s best estimate of probable incurred credit losses inherent in the Corporation’s lending activities with management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the Corporation’s relevant financial assets. The lifetime expected credit losses will be determined using macroeconomic forecast assumptions and management judgments applicable to and through the expected life of the portfolios. The standard will also expand credit quality disclosures. While the standard changes the
measurement of the allowance for credit losses, it does not change the Corporation’s credit risk of its lending portfolios or the ultimate losses in those portfolios.
Key implementation efforts have included model development and validation, data acquisition for model estimation and new disclosures, and the establishment of formal policies supporting all aspects of the standard. The Corporation has initiated running a parallel process encompassing the functionality of the models, internal controls over the estimation process and all other governance activities.
Upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2020, the Corporation expects that, based on current expectations of future economic conditions, its allowance for credit losses on loans and leases may increase by up to 20 percent from its allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2019, as disclosed herein, with a large portion of that increase driven by the U.S. credit card portfolio. The ultimate impact will depend on the characteristics of the Corporation’s portfolios as well as the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts upon adoption, the ultimate validation of models and methodologies, and other management judgments.
New Accounting Standards
Lease Accounting
On January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted the new accounting standards that require lessees to recognize operating leases on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities based on the value of the discounted future lease payments. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Expanded disclosures about the nature and terms of lease agreements are required prospectively and are included in Note 9 – Leases. The Corporation elected to retain prior determinations of whether an existing contract contains a lease and how the lease should be classified. The Corporation elected to recognize leases existing on January 1, 2019 through a cumulative-effect adjustment which increased retained earnings by $165 million, with no adjustment to prior periods presented. Upon adoption, the Corporation also recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $9.7 billion. Adoption of the standards did not have a significant effect on the Corporation’s regulatory capital measures.
Lessor Arrangements
The Corporation provides equipment financing to its customers through a variety of lessor arrangements. Direct financing leases and sales-type leases are carried at the aggregate of lease payments receivable plus the estimated residual value of the leased property less unearned income, which is accreted to interest income over the lease terms using methods that approximate the interest method. Operating lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis. Leases generally do not contain non-lease components.
Lessee Arrangements
Substantially all of the Corporation’s lessee arrangements are operating leases. Under these arrangements, the Corporation records right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement. Right-of-use assets are reported in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the related lease liabilities are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities. All leases are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet except leases with an initial term less than 12 months for which the Corporation made the short-term lease election. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is

recorded in occupancy and equipment expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
The Corporation made an accounting policy election not to separate lease and non-lease components of a contract that is or contains a lease for its real estate and equipment leases. As such, lease payments represent payments on both lease and non-lease components. At lease commencement, lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and discounted using the Corporation’s incremental borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets initially equal the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made prior to lease commencement and for any lease incentives.

NOTE 3 Derivatives
Derivative Balances
Derivatives are entered into on behalf of customers, for trading or to support risk management activities. Derivatives used in risk management activities include derivatives that may or may not be designated in qualifying hedge accounting relationships. Derivatives that are not designated in qualifying hedge accounting relationships are referred to as other risk management derivatives. For more information on the Corporation’s derivatives and hedging activities, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting
Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following tables present derivative instruments included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in derivative assets and liabilities at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty and cash collateral netting. Total derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and have been reduced by cash collateral received or paid.

Offsetting of Derivatives
The Corporation enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master netting agreements or similar agreements with substantially all of the Corporation’s derivative counterparties. For additional information, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following table presents derivative instruments included in derivative assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 by primary risk (e.g., interest rate risk) and the platform, where applicable, on
which these derivatives are transacted. Balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty and cash collateral netting. Total gross derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements which include reducing the balance for counterparty netting and cash collateral received or paid.
For more information on offsetting of securities financing agreements, see Note 10 – Federal Funds Sold or Purchased, Securities Financing Agreements, Short-term Borrowings and Restricted Cash.

Transfers of Financial Assets with Risk Retained through Derivatives
The Corporation enters into certain transactions involving the transfer of financial assets that are accounted for as sales where substantially all of the economic exposure to the transferred financial assets is retained through derivatives (e.g., interest rate and/or credit), but the Corporation does not retain control over the assets transferred. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation had transferred $5.6 billion and $5.8 billion of non-U.S. government-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to a third-party trust and retained economic exposure to the transferred assets through derivative contracts. In connection with these transfers, the Corporation received gross cash proceeds of $5.6 billion and $5.8 billion at the transfer dates. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of the transferred securities was $5.6 billion and $5.5 billion.
ALM and Risk Management Derivatives
The Corporation’s asset and liability management (ALM) and risk management activities include the use of derivatives to mitigate
risk to the Corporation including derivatives designated in qualifying hedge accounting relationships and derivatives used in other risk management activities. For additional information, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Derivatives Designated as Accounting Hedges
The Corporation uses various types of interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts to protect against changes in the fair value of its assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates (fair value hedges). The Corporation also uses these types of contracts to protect against changes in the cash flows of its assets and liabilities, and other forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges). The Corporation hedges its net investment in consolidated non-U.S. operations determined to have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar using forward exchange contracts and cross-currency basis swaps, and by issuing foreign currency-denominated debt (net investment hedges).

Cash Flow and Net Investment Hedges
The following table summarizes certain information related to cash flow hedges and net investment hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Of the $483 million after-tax net loss ($635 million pretax) on derivatives in accumulated OCI at June 30, 2019, $109 million after-tax ($143 million pretax) is expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months.
These net losses reclassified into earnings are expected to primarily reduce net interest income related to the respective hedged items. For terminated cash flow hedges, the time period over which the majority of the forecasted transactions are hedged is approximately 4 years, with a maximum length of time for certain forecasted transactions of 17 years.

Other Risk Management Derivatives
Other risk management derivatives are used by the Corporation to reduce certain risk exposures by economically hedging various assets and liabilities. The gains and losses on these derivatives are recognized in other income. The table below presents gains (losses) on these derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Sales and Trading Revenue
The Corporation enters into trading derivatives to facilitate client transactions and to manage risk exposures arising from trading account assets and liabilities. It is the Corporation’s policy to include these derivative instruments in its trading activities which include derivatives and non-derivative cash instruments. The resulting risk from these derivatives is managed on a portfolio basis as part of the Corporation’s Global Markets business segment. For more information on sales and trading revenue, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The table below, which includes both derivatives and non-derivative cash instruments, identifies the amounts in the respective income statement line items attributable to the Corporation’s sales and trading revenue in Global Markets, categorized by primary risk, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The difference between total trading account income in the following table and in the Consolidated Statement of Income represents trading activities in business segments other than Global Markets.

Credit Derivatives
The Corporation enters into credit derivatives primarily to facilitate client transactions and to manage credit risk exposures. Credit derivatives are classified as investment and non-investment grade based on the credit quality of the underlying referenced obligation. The Corporation considers ratings of BBB- or higher as investment grade. Non-investment grade includes non-rated credit derivative instruments. The Corporation discloses internal categorizations
of investment grade and non-investment grade consistent with how risk is managed for these instruments. For more information on credit derivatives, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The notional amount represents the maximum amount payable by the Corporation for most credit derivatives. However, the Corporation does not monitor its exposure to credit derivatives based solely on the notional amount because this measure does not take into consideration the probability of occurrence. As such, the notional amount is not a reliable indicator of the Corporation’s exposure to these contracts. Instead, a risk framework is used to define risk tolerances and establish limits so that certain credit risk-related losses occur within acceptable, predefined limits.
Credit-related notes in the table above include investments in securities issued by collateralized debt obligation (CDO), collateralized loan obligation and credit-linked note vehicles. These instruments are primarily classified as trading securities. The carrying value of these instruments equals the Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss. The Corporation is not obligated to make any payments to the entities under the terms of the securities owned.
Bank of America 60 |
Credit-related Contingent Features and Collateral
A majority of the Corporation’s derivative contracts contain credit risk-related contingent features, primarily in the form of ISDA master netting agreements and credit support documentation that enhance the creditworthiness of these instruments compared to other obligations of the respective counterparty with whom the Corporation has transacted. These contingent features may be for the benefit of the Corporation as well as its counterparties with respect to changes in the Corporation’s creditworthiness and the mark-to-market exposure under the derivative transactions. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation held cash and securities collateral of $81.6 billion at both period ends and posted cash and securities collateral of $67.1 billion and $56.5 billion in the normal course of business under derivative agreements, excluding cross-product margining agreements where clients are permitted to margin on a net basis for both derivative and secured financing arrangements.
In connection with certain OTC derivative contracts and other trading agreements, the Corporation can be required to provide additional collateral or to terminate transactions with certain counterparties in the event of a downgrade of the senior debt ratings of the Corporation or certain subsidiaries. The amount of
additional collateral required depends on the contract and is usually a fixed incremental amount and/or the market value of the exposure. For more information on credit-related contingent features and collateral, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At June 30, 2019, the amount of collateral, calculated based on the terms of the contracts, that the Corporation and certain subsidiaries could be required to post to counterparties but had not yet posted to counterparties was $1.9 billion, including $1.2 billion for Bank of America, National Association.
Some counterparties are currently able to unilaterally terminate certain contracts, or the Corporation or certain subsidiaries may be required to take other action such as find a suitable replacement or obtain a guarantee. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the liability recorded for these derivative contracts was not significant.
The following table presents the amount of additional collateral that would have been contractually required by derivative contracts and other trading agreements at June 30, 2019 if the rating agencies had downgraded their long-term senior debt ratings for the Corporation or certain subsidiaries by one incremental notch and by an additional second incremental notch.

The cumulative OTTI credit losses that have been recognized in income on AFS debt securities that the Corporation does not
intend to sell were $123 million and $264 million at June 30, 2019 and 2018.
For more information on OTTI losses and significant assumptions used for the Corporation’s underlying collateral, see Note 4 – Securities to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Significant assumptions used in estimating the expected cash flows for measuring credit losses on non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) were as follows at June 30, 2019.

Annual constant prepayment speed and loss severity rates are projected considering collateral characteristics such as loan-to-value (LTV), creditworthiness of borrowers as measured using Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores, and geographic concentrations. The weighted-average severity by collateral type was 12.6 percent for prime, 11.9 percent for Alt-A and 20.7 percent for subprime at June 30, 2019. Default rates are projected by considering collateral characteristics including, but not limited to, LTV, FICO and geographic concentration. Weighted-average life default rates
by collateral type were 8.6 percent for prime, 11.5 percent for Alt-A and 15.5 percent for subprime at June 30, 2019.
The remaining contractual maturity distribution and yields of the Corporation’s debt securities carried at fair value and HTM debt securities at June 30, 2019 are summarized in the table below. Actual duration and yields may differ as prepayments on the loans underlying the mortgages or other asset-backed securities (ABS) are passed through to the Corporation.

The Corporation categorizes consumer real estate loans as core and non-core based on loan and customer characteristics such as origination date, product type, LTV, FICO score and delinquency status consistent with its current consumer and mortgage servicing strategy. Generally, loans that were originated after January 1, 2010, qualified under government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) underwriting guidelines, or otherwise met the Corporation’s underwriting guidelines in place in 2015 are characterized as core loans. All other loans are generally characterized as non-core loans and represent runoff portfolios.
The Corporation has entered into long-term credit protection agreements with FNMA and FHLMC on loans totaling $6.6 billion and $6.1 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, providing full credit protection on residential mortgage loans that become severely delinquent. All of these loans are individually insured and therefore the Corporation does not record an allowance for credit losses related to these loans.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Corporation sold $891 million and $1.8 billion of consumer real estate loans compared to $1.8 billion and $2.6 billion for the same periods in 2018.
Nonperforming Loans and Leases
The Corporation classifies junior-lien home equity loans as nonperforming when the first-lien loan becomes 90 days past due even if the junior-lien loan is performing. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $139 million and $221 million of such junior-lien home equity loans were included in nonperforming loans.
The Corporation classifies consumer real estate loans that have been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy and not reaffirmed by the borrower as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), irrespective of payment history or delinquency status, even if the repayment terms for the loans have not been otherwise modified. The Corporation continues to have a lien on the underlying collateral. At June 30, 2019, nonperforming loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy with no change in repayment terms were $153 million of which $84 million were current on their contractual payments, while $55 million were 90 days or more past due. Of the contractually current nonperforming loans, 57 percent were discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy over 12 months ago, and 47 percent were discharged 24 months or more ago.
Bank of America 66 |
The table below presents the Corporation’s nonperforming loans and leases including nonperforming TDRs, and loans accruing past due 90 days or more at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Nonperforming loans held-for-sale (LHFS) are excluded from nonperforming loans and leases as they are recorded at either fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. For more information on the criteria for classification as nonperforming, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Corporation monitors credit quality within its Consumer Real Estate, Credit Card and Other Consumer, and Commercial portfolio segments based on primary credit quality indicators. For more information on the portfolio segments and their related credit quality indicators, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases to the
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Impaired Loans and Troubled Debt Restructurings
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. For additional information, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Consumer Real Estate
Impaired consumer real estate loans within the Consumer Real Estate portfolio segment consist entirely of TDRs. Most modifications of consumer real estate loans meet the definition of TDRs when a binding offer is extended to a borrower. For more information on impaired consumer real estate loans, see Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Consumer real estate loans of $758 million that have been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy with no change in repayment terms and not reaffirmed by the borrower were included in TDRs at June 30, 2019, of which $153 million were classified as nonperforming and $310 million were loans fully insured by the FHA. For more information on loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, see Nonperforming Loans and Leases in this Note.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, remaining commitments to lend additional funds to debtors whose terms have been modified in a consumer real estate TDR were not significant. Consumer real estate foreclosed properties totaled $205 million and $244 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The carrying value of consumer real estate loans, including fully-insured loans, for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process at June 30, 2019 was $2.0 billion. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Corporation reclassified $135 million and $299 million of consumer real estate loans to foreclosed properties or, for properties acquired upon foreclosure of certain government-
Bank of America 68 |
guaranteed loans (principally FHA-insured loans), to other assets. The reclassifications represent non-cash investing activities and, accordingly, are not reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The following table provides the unpaid principal balance, carrying value and related allowance at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the average carrying value and interest
income recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 for impaired loans in the Corporation’s Consumer Real Estate portfolio segment. Certain impaired consumer real estate loans do not have a related allowance as the current valuation of these impaired loans exceeded the carrying value, which is net of previously recorded charge-offs.

Credit Card and Other Consumer
Impaired loans within the Credit Card and Other Consumer portfolio segment consist entirely of loans that have been modified in TDRs. The Corporation seeks to assist customers that are experiencing financial difficulty by modifying loans while ensuring compliance with federal and local laws and guidelines. Credit card and other consumer loan modifications generally involve reducing the interest rate on the account, placing the customer on a fixed payment plan not exceeding 60 months and canceling the customer’s available line of credit, all of which are considered TDRs. The Corporation makes loan modifications directly with borrowers for debt held only by the Corporation (internal programs).
Additionally, the Corporation makes loan modifications for borrowers working with third-party renegotiation agencies that provide solutions to customers’ entire unsecured debt structures (external programs). The Corporation classifies other secured consumer loans that have been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy as TDRs which are written down to collateral value and placed on nonaccrual status no later than the time of discharge.
The following table provides the unpaid principal balance, carrying value and related allowance at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the average carrying value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 for TDRs within the Credit Card and Other Consumer portfolio segment.

Impaired commercial loans include nonperforming loans and leases and TDRs (both performing and nonperforming). For more information on impaired commercial loans, see Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, remaining commitments to lend additional funds to debtors whose terms have been modified in a commercial loan TDR were $302 million and $297 million. The balance of commercial TDRs in payment default was not significant at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

NOTE 7 Securitizations and Other Variable Interest Entities
The Corporation utilizes VIEs in the ordinary course of business to support its own and its customers’ financing and investing needs. The tables in this Note present the assets, liabilities and maximum loss exposure of consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 in situations where the Corporation has continuing involvement with transferred assets or if the Corporation otherwise has a variable interest in the VIE. For more information on the Corporation’s use of VIEs and related maximum loss exposure, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 7 – Securitizations and Other Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Corporation invests in ABS issued by third-party VIEs with which it has no other form of involvement and enters into certain commercial lending arrangements that may also incorporate the use of VIEs, for example to hold collateral. These securities and loans are included in Note 4 – Securities or Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases.
The Corporation did not provide financial support to consolidated or unconsolidated VIEs during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018 that it was not previously contractually required to provide, nor does it intend to do so.
The Corporation had liquidity commitments, including written put options and collateral value guarantees, with certain unconsolidated VIEs of $355 million and $218 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
First-lien Mortgage Securitizations
As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Corporation securitizes a portion of the first-lien residential mortgage loans it originates or purchases from third parties. Except as described in Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies, the Corporation does not provide guarantees or recourse to the securitization trusts other than standard representations and warranties.
The following table summarizes select information related to first-lien mortgage securitizations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Substantially all of these securities are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and are sold shortly after receipt. |
(2) | A majority of the first-lien residential mortgage loans securitized are initially classified as LHFS and accounted for under the fair value option. Gains recognized on these LHFS prior to securitization, which totaled $ |
(3) | The Corporation may have the option to repurchase delinquent loans out of securitization trusts, which reduces the amount of servicing advances it is required to make. The Corporation may also repurchase loans from securitization trusts to perform modifications. Repurchased loans include FHA-insured mortgages collateralizing GNMA securities. |
The Corporation recognizes consumer MSRs from the sale or securitization of consumer real estate loans. The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for investors, including residential mortgage and home equity loans, totaled $210.5 billion and $249.5 billion at June 30, 2019 and 2018. Servicing fee and ancillary fee income on serviced loans was $144 million and $292 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $181 million and $378 million for the same periods in 2018. Servicing advances on serviced loans, including loans serviced for others and loans held for investment, were $2.8 billion and $3.3 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. For
more information on MSRs, see Note 15 – Fair Value Measurements.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Corporation deconsolidated agency residential mortgage securitization trusts with total assets of $430 million and $1.1 billion. There were no significant deconsolidations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

(5) | Total assets of VIEs includes loans the Corporation transferred with which it has continuing involvement, which may include servicing the loan. |
Home Equity Loans
The Corporation retains interests, primarily senior securities, in home equity securitization trusts to which it transferred home equity loans. In addition, the Corporation may be obligated to provide subordinate funding to the trusts during a rapid amortization event. This obligation is included in the maximum loss exposure in the table above. The charges that will ultimately be recorded as a result of the rapid amortization events depend on the undrawn portion of the home equity lines of credit, performance of the loans, the amount of subsequent draws and the timing of related cash flows.
Credit Card Securitizations
The Corporation securitizes originated and purchased credit card loans. The Corporation’s continuing involvement with the securitization trust includes servicing the receivables, retaining an undivided interest (seller’s interest) in the receivables, and holding certain retained interests including subordinate interests in accrued interest and fees on the securitized receivables and cash reserve accounts.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were $2.8 billion of new senior debt securities issued to third-party investors from the credit card securitization trust. None were issued in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation held subordinate securities issued by the credit card securitization trust with a notional principal amount of $7.2 billion and $7.7 billion. These securities serve as a form of credit enhancement to the senior debt securities and have a stated interest rate of zero percent. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were $448 million of these subordinate securities issued. None were issued in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Resecuritization Trusts
The Corporation transfers securities, typically MBS, into resecuritization VIEs at the request of customers seeking securities with specific characteristics. Generally, there are no significant ongoing activities performed in a resecuritization trust, and no single investor has the unilateral ability to liquidate the trust.
The Corporation resecuritized $4.1 billion and $8.5 billion of securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $6.8 billion and $13.6 billion for the same periods in 2018. Securities transferred into resecuritization VIEs were measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in trading account income prior to the resecuritization and, accordingly, no gain or loss on sale was recorded. Resecuritization proceeds included securities with an initial fair value of $1.5 billion and $2.8 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $910 million and $2.2 billion for the same periods in 2018. Substantially all of the other securities received as resecuritization proceeds were classified as trading securities and were categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Municipal Bond Trusts
The Corporation administers municipal bond trusts that hold highly-rated, long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds. The trusts obtain financing by issuing floating-rate trust certificates that reprice on a weekly or other short-term basis to third-party investors.
The Corporation’s liquidity commitments to unconsolidated municipal bond trusts, including those for which the Corporation was transferor, totaled $3.0 billion and $2.1 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The weighted-average remaining life of bonds held in the trusts at June 30, 2019 was 11.4 years. There were no material write-downs or downgrades of assets or issuers during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Customer VIEs
Customer VIEs include credit-linked, equity-linked and commodity-linked note VIEs, repackaging VIEs and asset acquisition VIEs, which are typically created on behalf of customers who wish to obtain market or credit exposure to a specific company, index, commodity or financial instrument.
The Corporation’s maximum loss exposure to consolidated and unconsolidated customer VIEs totaled $2.1 billion at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, including the notional amount of derivatives to which the Corporation is a counterparty, net of losses previously recorded, and the Corporation’s investment, if any, in securities issued by the VIEs.
Collateralized Debt Obligation VIEs
The Corporation receives fees for structuring CDO VIEs, which hold diversified pools of fixed-income securities, typically corporate debt or ABS, which the CDO VIEs fund by issuing multiple tranches of debt and equity securities. CDOs are generally managed by third-party portfolio managers. The Corporation typically transfers assets to these CDOs, holds securities issued by the CDOs and may be a derivative counterparty to the CDOs. The Corporation’s maximum loss exposure to consolidated and unconsolidated CDOs totaled $292 million and $421 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Investment VIEs
The Corporation sponsors, invests in or provides financing, which may be in connection with the sale of assets, to a variety of investment VIEs that hold loans, real estate, debt securities or other financial instruments and are designed to provide the desired investment profile to investors or the Corporation. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation’s consolidated investment VIEs had total assets of $158 million and $270 million. The Corporation also held investments in unconsolidated VIEs with total assets of $36.2 billion and $37.7 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Corporation’s maximum loss exposure associated with both consolidated and unconsolidated investment VIEs totaled $6.6 billion and $7.2 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 comprised primarily of on-balance sheet assets less non-recourse liabilities.
Leveraged Lease Trusts
The Corporation’s net investment in consolidated leveraged lease trusts totaled $1.8 billion at both June 30, 2019 and December
31, 2018. The trusts hold long-lived equipment such as rail cars, power generation and distribution equipment, and commercial aircraft. The Corporation structures the trusts and holds a significant residual interest. The net investment represents the Corporation’s maximum loss exposure to the trusts in the unlikely event that the leveraged lease investments become worthless. Debt issued by the leveraged lease trusts is non-recourse to the Corporation.
Tax Credit VIEs
The Corporation holds investments in unconsolidated limited partnerships and similar entities that construct, own and operate affordable housing, wind and solar projects. An unrelated third party is typically the general partner or managing member and has control over the significant activities of the VIE. The Corporation earns a return primarily through the receipt of tax credits allocated to the projects. The maximum loss exposure included in the Other VIEs table was $16.8 billion and $17.0 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Corporation’s risk of loss is generally mitigated by policies requiring that the project qualify for the expected tax credits prior to making its investment.
The Corporation’s investments in affordable housing partnerships, which are reported in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, totaled $8.9 billion, including unfunded commitments to provide capital contributions of $3.8 billion at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The unfunded commitments are expected to be paid over the next five years . The Corporation recognized tax credits and other tax benefits from investments in affordable housing partnerships of $291 million and $571 million and reported pretax losses in other income of $234 million and $482 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. For the same periods in 2018, the Corporation recognized tax credits and other tax benefits of $237 million and $485 million and pretax losses in other income of $217 million and $425 million. Tax credits are recognized as part of the Corporation’s annual effective tax rate used to determine tax expense in a given quarter. Accordingly, the portion of a year’s expected tax benefits recognized in any given quarter may differ from 25 percent. The Corporation may from time to time be asked to invest additional amounts to support a troubled affordable housing project. Such additional investments have not been and are not expected to be significant.

NOTE 8 Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The table below presents goodwill balances by business segment and All Other at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The reporting units utilized for goodwill impairment testing are the operating segments or one level below.

Total goodwill | $ | $ |
The Corporation completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2019 for all reporting units that had goodwill. For this goodwill impairment test, the Corporation used qualitative assessments. The Corporation performed this test by assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was less than its respective carrying value. Factors considered in the qualitative assessments include, among other things, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, financial performance of the respective reporting unit and other relevant entity- and reporting-unit specific considerations. If based on the results of the qualitative assessment, the Corporation were to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a quantitative assessment would be conducted. Based on the results of the annual goodwill impairment test, the Corporation determined there was no impairment. For more information, see Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For additional information regarding the nature of and accounting for the Corporation's goodwill impairment testing, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Intangible Assets
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the net carrying value of intangible assets was $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion. Both period ends included $1.6 billion of intangible assets associated with trade names, substantially all of which had an indefinite life and, accordingly, is not being amortized. Amortization of intangibles expense was $29 million and $55 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $135 million and $269 million for the same periods in 2018.
NOTE 9 Leases
The Corporation enters into both lessor and lessee arrangements. For more information on lease accounting, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and on lease financing receivables, see Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases.
Lessor Arrangements
The Corporation’s lessor arrangements primarily consist of operating, sales-type and direct financing leases for equipment. Lease agreements may include options to renew and for the lessee to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term.
At June 30, 2019, the total net investment in sales-type and direct financing leases was $22.0 billion, comprised of $19.5 billion in lease receivables and $2.5 billion in unguaranteed residuals. In certain cases, the Corporation obtains third-party residual value insurance to reduce its residual asset risk. The carrying value of residual assets with third-party residual value insurance for at least a portion of the asset value was $5.4 billion.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, total lease income was $413 million and $839 million, consisting of $198 million and $403 million from sales-type and direct financing leases and $215 million and $436 million from operating leases.
Lessee Arrangements
The Corporation’s lessee arrangements predominantly consist of operating leases for premises and equipment; the Corporation’s financing leases are not significant. Right-of-use assets were $9.9 billion and lease liabilities were $10.2 billion at June 30, 2019. The weighted-average discount rate used to calculate the present value of future minimum lease payments was four percent.
Lease terms may contain renewal and extension options and early termination features. Generally, these options do not impact the lease term because the Corporation is not reasonably certain that it will exercise the options. The weighted-average lease term was 8.2 years at June 30, 2019.
The table below provides the components of lease cost and supplemental information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Restricted Cash
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation held restricted cash included within cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheet of $25.1 billion and $22.6 billion, predominantly related to cash held on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank and non-U.S. central banks to meet reserve requirements and cash segregated in compliance with securities regulations.
NOTE 11 Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into a number of off-balance sheet commitments. These commitments expose the Corporation to varying degrees of credit and market risk and are subject to the same credit and market risk limitation reviews as those instruments recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For more information on commitments and contingencies, see Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Credit Extension Commitments
The Corporation enters into commitments to extend credit such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit (SBLCs) and commercial letters of credit to meet the financing needs of its customers. The following table includes the notional amount of unfunded legally binding lending commitments net of amounts
distributed (i.e., syndicated or participated) to other financial institutions. The distributed amounts were $10.6 billion and $10.7 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. At June 30, 2019, the carrying value of these commitments, excluding commitments accounted for under the fair value option, was $823 million, including deferred revenue of $17 million and a reserve for unfunded lending commitments of $806 million. At December 31, 2018, the comparable amounts were $813 million, $16 million and $797 million, respectively. The carrying value of these commitments is classified in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Legally binding commitments to extend credit generally have specified rates and maturities. Certain of these commitments have adverse change clauses that help to protect the Corporation against deterioration in the borrower’s ability to pay.
The table below also includes the notional amount of commitments of $4.6 billion and $3.1 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 that are accounted for under the fair value option. However, the table excludes cumulative net fair value of $128 million and $169 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 on these commitments, which is classified in accrued expenses and other liabilities. For more information regarding the Corporation’s loan commitments accounted for under the fair value option, see Note 16 – Fair Value Option.

Other Commitments
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation had commitments to purchase loans (e.g., residential mortgage and commercial real estate) of $277 million and $329 million, which upon settlement will be included in loans or LHFS, and commitments to purchase commercial loans of $366 million and $463 million, which upon settlement will be included in trading account assets.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation had commitments to purchase commodities, primarily liquefied
natural gas, of $1.0 billion and $1.3 billion, which upon settlement will be included in trading account assets.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation had commitments to enter into resale and forward-dated resale and securities borrowing agreements of $95.6 billion and $59.7 billion, and commitments to enter into forward-dated repurchase and securities lending agreements of $76.2 billion and $21.2 billion. These commitments expire primarily within the next 18 months.
81 Bank of America |
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation had a commitment to originate or purchase up to $3.2 billion and $3.0 billion on a rolling 12-month basis, of auto loans and leases from a strategic partner. This commitment extends through November 2022 and can be terminated with 12 months prior notice.
Other Guarantees
Bank-owned Life Insurance Book Value Protection
The Corporation sells products that offer book value protection to insurance carriers who offer group life insurance policies to corporations, primarily banks. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the notional amount of these guarantees totaled $7.6 billion and $9.8 billion. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation’s maximum exposure related to these guarantees totaled $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion, with estimated maturity dates between 2033 and 2039.
Merchant Services
In accordance with credit and debit card association rules, the Corporation sponsors merchant processing servicers that process credit and debit card transactions on behalf of various merchants. If the merchant processor fails to meet its obligation to reimburse the cardholder for disputed transactions, then the Corporation could be held liable. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the sponsored entities processed and settled $235.7 billion and $441.3 billion of transactions and recorded losses of $7 million and $11 million. For the same periods in 2018, the sponsored entities processed and settled $226.1 billion and $426.8 billion of transactions and recorded losses of $9 million and $17 million.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the maximum potential exposure for sponsored transactions totaled $356.6 billion and $348.1 billion. However, the Corporation believes that the maximum potential exposure is not representative of the actual potential loss exposure and does not expect to make material payments in connection with these guarantees.
A significant portion of the Corporation's merchant processing activity is performed by a joint venture, formed in 2009, in which the Corporation holds a 49 percent ownership interest. The carrying value of the Corporation’s investment was $2.7 billion and $2.8 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The joint venture is accounted for as an equity method investment and reported in All Other. In June 2019, the joint venture partners agreed to extend the Corporation’s right to terminate the joint venture at the end of its current term, which is June 2020, from one year to four months prior to that date. On July 29, 2019, the Corporation gave notice to the joint venture partner of the termination of the joint venture upon the conclusion of its current term. As a result, the Corporation expects to incur a non-cash, pretax impairment charge in the third quarter of 2019 of approximately $1.7 billion to $2.1 billion, which is estimated to reduce the Common equity tier 1 ratio by 9 to 11 basis points.
Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees
For more information on representations and warranties obligations and corporate guarantees, and the related reserve and estimated range of possible loss, see Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The reserve for representations and warranties obligations and corporate guarantees was $2.0 billion at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related
provision is included in other income in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The representations and warranties reserve represents the Corporation’s best estimate of probable incurred losses. It is reasonably possible that future representations and warranties losses may occur in excess of the amounts recorded for these exposures. See Litigation and Regulatory Matters below for the Corporation’s combined range of possible loss in excess of the reserve for representations and warranties and the accrued liability for litigation.
Other Guarantees
The Corporation has entered into additional guarantee agreements and commitments, including sold risk participation swaps, liquidity facilities, lease-end obligation agreements, partial credit guarantees on certain leases, real estate joint venture guarantees, divested business commitments and sold put options that require gross settlement. The maximum potential future payment under these agreements was approximately $7.2 billion and $5.9 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The estimated maturity dates of these obligations extend up to 2040. The Corporation has made no material payments under these guarantees. For more information on maximum potential future payments under VIE-related liquidity commitments, see Note 7 – Securitizations and Other Variable Interest Entities.
In the normal course of business, the Corporation periodically guarantees the obligations of its affiliates in a variety of transactions including ISDA-related transactions and non-ISDA related transactions such as commodities trading, repurchase agreements, prime brokerage agreements and other transactions.
Guarantees of Certain Long-term Debt
The Corporation, as the parent company, fully and unconditionally guarantees the securities issued by BofA Finance LLC, a 100 percent owned finance subsidiary of the Corporation, and effectively provides for the full and unconditional guarantee of trust securities issued by certain statutory trust companies that are 100 percent owned finance subsidiaries of the Corporation.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
The following disclosure supplements the disclosure in Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure).
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to many pending and threatened legal, regulatory and governmental actions and proceedings. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages or where the matters present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, the Corporation generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of the pending matters, the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters, or any eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Corporation establishes an accrued liability when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. Excluding expenses of internal and external legal service providers, litigation-related expense of $114 million and $187 million was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $86 million and $202 million for the same periods in 2018.
For a limited number of the matters disclosed in this Note, and in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure, for which
Bank of America 82 |
a loss, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, is reasonably possible in future periods, the Corporation is able to estimate a range of possible loss. With respect to such matters, in cases in which the Corporation possesses sufficient appropriate information to estimate a range of possible loss, that estimate is aggregated and disclosed below. There may be other disclosed matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible but such an estimate of the range of possible loss may not be possible. For those disclosed matters where an estimate of the range of possible loss is possible, as well as for representations and warranties exposures, management currently estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss for these exposures is $0 to $1.9 billion in excess of the accrued liability, if any. This estimated range of possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. Therefore, this estimated range of possible loss represents what the Corporation believes to be an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent the Corporation’s maximum loss exposure.
Information is provided below, or in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure regarding the nature of the litigation contingencies and, where specified, the amount of the claim associated with these loss contingencies. Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters, including the matters described below, and in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Corporation. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, some of which are beyond the Corporation’s control, 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 the Corporation’s results of operations or liquidity for any particular reporting period.
Investigations of Precious Metals Trading
In connection with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) and U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) investigations of precious metals market trading practices, on June 25, 2019, Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc. (MLCI), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, entered into a civil settlement with the CFTC and a non-prosecution agreement with the DOJ. Those resolutions resulted in settlement payments totaling $36.5 million and require MLCI and the Corporation to undertake certain remedial measures and other obligations.

On June 27, 2019, following the Federal Reserve's non-objection to the Corporation's 2019 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) capital plan, the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized the repurchase of approximately $30.9 billion in common stock from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, including approximately $900 million to offset the effect of equity-based compensation plans during the same period. As part of the capital plan, on July 25, 2019, the Board declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.18 per share.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Corporation repurchased and retired 226 million and 446 million shares of common stock in connection with the 2018 CCAR capital plan and additional repurchase authorizations, which reduced shareholders’ equity by $6.5 billion and $12.8 billion.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, in connection with employee stock plans, the Corporation issued 83 million shares of its common stock and, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, repurchased 32 million shares of its common stock. At June 30, 2019, the Corporation had reserved 593 million unissued shares of common stock for future issuances under employee stock plans, convertible notes and preferred stock.
Preferred Stock
During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Corporation declared $442 million and $239 million of cash dividends on preferred stock, or a total of $681 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. On June 20, 2019, the Corporation issued 40,000 shares of 5.125 % Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series JJ for $1.0 billion. Dividends are paid semi-annually during the fixed-rate period commencing on December 20, 2019, then quarterly during the floating-rate period commencing September 20, 2024. The Series JJ preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share and is subject to certain restrictions in the event the Corporation fails to declare and pay full dividends. On June 25, 2019, the Corporation issued 55,900 shares of 5.375 % Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series KK for $1.4 billion. Dividends are paid quarterly commencing on September 25, 2019. The Series KK preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share and is subject to certain restrictions in the event that the Corporation fails to declare and pay full dividends. There were no redemptions of preferred stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. For more information on the Corporation's preferred stock, including liquidation preference, dividend requirements and redemption period, see Note 13 – Shareholders’ Equity to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 15 Fair Value Measurements
Under applicable accounting standards, 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. The Corporation determines the fair values of its financial instruments under applicable accounting standards and conducts a review of its fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Transfers into or out of fair value hierarchy classifications are made if the significant inputs used in the financial models measuring the fair values of the assets and liabilities become unobservable or observable in the current marketplace. During the
six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no changes to valuation approaches or techniques that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
For more information regarding the fair value hierarchy, how the Corporation measures fair value and valuation techniques, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 20 – Fair Value Measurements to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Corporation accounts for certain financial instruments under the fair value option. For additional information, see Note 16 – Fair Value Option.

The following tables present a reconciliation of all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, including net realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings and accumulated OCI. Transfers into Level 3 occur primarily due to
decreased price observability, and transfers out of Level 3 occur primarily due to increased price observability. Transfers occur on a regular basis for long-term debt instruments due to changes in the impact of unobservable inputs on the value of the embedded derivative in relation to the instrument as a whole.

Glossary
Alt-A Mortgage – A type of U.S. mortgage that is considered riskier than A-paper, or “prime,” and less risky than “subprime,” the riskiest category. Typically, Alt-A mortgages are characterized by borrowers with less than full documentation, lower credit scores and higher LTVs.
Assets Under Management (AUM) – The total market value of assets under the investment advisory and/or discretion of GWIM which generate asset management fees based on a percentage of the assets’ market values. AUM reflects assets that are generally managed for institutional, high net worth and retail clients, and are distributed through various investment products including mutual funds, other commingled vehicles and separate accounts.
Banking Book – All on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments of the Corporation except for those positions that are held for trading purposes.
Brokerage and Other Assets – Non-discretionary client assets which are held in brokerage accounts or held for safekeeping.
Committed Credit Exposure – Any funded portion of a facility plus the unfunded portion of a facility on which the lender is legally bound to advance funds during a specified period under prescribed conditions.
Credit Derivatives – Contractual agreements that provide protection against a specified credit event on one or more referenced obligations.
Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) – A portfolio adjustment required to properly reflect the counterparty credit risk exposure as part of the fair value of derivative instruments.
Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA) – A portfolio adjustment required to properly reflect the Corporation’s own credit risk exposure as part of the fair value of derivative instruments and/or structured liabilities.
Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA) – A portfolio adjustment required to include funding costs on uncollateralized derivatives and derivatives where the Corporation is not permitted to use the collateral it receives.
Interest Rate Lock Commitment (IRLC) – Commitment with a loan applicant in which the loan terms are guaranteed for a designated period of time subject to credit approval.
Letter of Credit – A document issued on behalf of a customer to a third party promising to pay the third party upon presentation of specified documents. A letter of credit effectively substitutes the issuer’s credit for that of the customer.
Loan-to-value (LTV) – A commonly used credit quality metric. LTV is calculated as the outstanding carrying value of the loan divided by the estimated value of the property securing the loan.
Margin Receivable – An extension of credit secured by eligible securities in certain brokerage accounts.
Matched Book – Repurchase and resale agreements or securities borrowed and loaned transactions where the overall asset and liability position is similar in size and/or maturity. Generally, these are entered into to accommodate customers where the Corporation earns the interest rate spread.
Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR) – The right to service a mortgage loan when the underlying loan is sold or securitized. Servicing includes collections for principal, interest and escrow payments from borrowers and accounting for and remitting principal and interest payments to investors.
Net Interest Yield – Net interest income divided by average total interest-earning assets.
Nonperforming Loans and Leases – Includes loans and leases that have been placed on nonaccrual status, including nonaccruing loans whose contractual terms have been restructured in a manner that grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties.
Operating Margin – Income before income taxes divided by total revenue, net of interest expense.
Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) – A framework established by the U.S. banking regulators requiring banks to maintain certain levels of regulatory capital ratios, comprised of five categories of capitalization: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” Insured depository institutions that fail to meet certain of these capital levels are subject to increasingly strict limits on their activities, including their ability to make capital distributions, pay management compensation, grow assets and take other actions.
Subprime Loans – Although a standard industry definition for subprime loans (including subprime mortgage loans) does not exist, the Corporation defines subprime loans as specific product offerings for higher risk borrowers.
Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) – Loans whose contractual terms have been restructured in a manner that grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. Certain consumer loans for which a binding offer to restructure has been extended are also classified as TDRs.
Value-at-Risk (VaR) – VaR is a model that simulates the value of a portfolio under a range of hypothetical scenarios in order to generate a distribution of potential gains and losses. VaR represents the loss the portfolio is expected to experience with a given confidence level based on historical data. A VaR model is an effective tool in estimating ranges of potential gains and losses on our trading portfolios.
