FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement. These statements often include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “goals,” “targets,” “initiatives,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook,” “guidance” or similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could.”
Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management, and on information currently available to management. Our statements speak as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements in light of new information or future events. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation:
Negative economic, business and political conditions, including as a result of the interest rate environment, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and labor shortages, that adversely affect the general economy, housing prices, the job market, consumer confidence and spending habits;
The general state of the economy and employment, as well as general business and economic conditions, and changes in the competitive environment;
Our capital and liquidity requirements under regulatory standards and our ability to generate capital and liquidity on favorable terms;
The effect of changes in the level of commercial and consumer deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;
Our ability to implement our business strategy, including the cost savings and efficiency components, and achieve our financial performance goals, including the anticipated benefits of the Investors acquisition and HSBC transaction;
The effects of geopolitical instability, including as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions on Russia and other actions in response, on economic and market conditions, inflationary pressures and the interest rate environment, commodity price and foreign exchange rate volatility, and heightened cybersecurity risks;
Our ability to meet heightened supervisory requirements and expectations;
Liabilities and business restrictions resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations;
The effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held for sale;
Changes in interest rates and market liquidity, as well as the magnitude of such changes, which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources and affect the ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets;
Financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses;
Environmental risks, such as physical or transitional risks associated with climate change, and social and governance risks, that could adversely affect our reputation, operations, business, and customers;
A failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks; and
Management’s ability to identify and manage these and other risks.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 6


In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the actual amounts and timing of any future common stock dividends or share repurchases will be subject to various factors, including our capital position, financial performance, capital impacts of strategic initiatives, market conditions, receipt of required regulatory approvals and other regulatory considerations, as well as any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant in making such a determination. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares from or pay any dividends to holders of our common stock, or as to the amount of any such repurchases or dividends.
More information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Form 10-K.

The following MD&A is intended to assist readers in their analysis of the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements and supplemental financial information. It should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, as well as other information contained in this document and our 2022 Form 10-K.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains non-GAAP financial measures denoted as “Underlying” results and “including AOCI impact”. Underlying results for any given reporting period exclude certain items that may occur in that period which management does not consider indicative of our on-going financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are used by management to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions. In addition, we believe our Underlying results in any given reporting period reflect our on-going financial performance in that period and, accordingly, are useful to consider in addition to our GAAP financial results. We further believe the presentation of Underlying results increases comparability of period-to-period results.
Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by such companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP financial measures, but to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP.
Non-GAAP measures are denoted throughout our MD&A by the use of the term “Underlying.” Where there is a reference to these metrics in that paragraph, all measures that follow are on the same basis when applicable. For more information on the computation of non-GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations.”

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is our largest source of revenue and is the difference between the interest earned on interest-earning assets (generally loans, leases and investment securities) and the interest expense incurred in connection with interest-bearing liabilities (generally deposits and borrowed funds). The level of net interest income is primarily a function of the difference between the effective yield on our average interest-earning assets and the effective cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. These factors are influenced by the pricing and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by external factors such as local economic conditions, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the FRB and market interest rates. For further discussion, refer to the “Market Risk” and “Risk Governance” sections of our 2022 Form 10-K.

(1) Net interest income and net interest margin is presented on a FTE basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%. The FTE impact is predominantly attributable to commercial and industrial loans for the periods presented.
Net interest income increased $83 million, or 6%, and $579 million, or 22%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, reflecting higher net interest margin and growth of 1% and 10%, respectively, in average interest-earning assets, including the impacts of the HSBC transaction and Investors acquisition during the six-month period.
Net interest margin on a FTE basis increased 13 basis points and 32 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, reflecting higher interest-earning asset yields given higher market interest rates and interest-earning asset growth, partially offset by increased funding costs. Average interest-earning asset yields increased 174 basis points and 179 basis points, while average interest-bearing liability costs increased 217 basis points and 201 basis points, respectively, compared to the same periods.

Average interest-earning assets increased $2.8 billion, or 1%, and $18.0 billion, or 10%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase in the six-month period is primarily attributable to growth in loans and leases reflecting the impacts of the HSBC transaction and Investors acquisition, and growth in investments, while the increase in the three-month period reflects growth in cash held in interest-bearing deposits and investments, partially offset by a decline in LHFS.
Average deposits decreased $3.1 billion, or 2%, and increased $8.0 billion, or 5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The decrease in the three-month period is primarily due to rate-related outflows, while the increase in the six-month period is primarily attributable to the impacts of the HSBC transaction and Investors acquisition.
Average total borrowed funds increased $4.0 billion and $8.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, driven primarily by an increase in FHLB advances.

Significant changes in noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, are highlighted below.
Other income increased driven by $31 million of mark-to-market losses on loans acquired from Investors recognized in the second quarter of 2022.
Mortgage banking fees declined driven by lower production volumes and servicing revenue, partially offset by improved gain-on-sale margins.
Card fees increased given higher transaction volumes.
Foreign exchange and derivative products revenue decreased reflecting lower client hedging activity.
Capital markets fees decreased reflecting lower syndication fees, partially offset by higher merger and acquisition advisory fees.

Noninterest expense was stable for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, driven primarily by acquisition-related costs and higher other operating expense associated with advertising, fraud losses, and FDIC insurance costs as a result of the increase in the base deposit insurance assessment rate of two basis points effective January 1, 2023. In addition, equipment and software increased reflecting higher software maintenance and amortization costs. These increases were partially offset by the benefit of efficiency initiatives and lower salaries and employee benefits given lower variable compensation.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses is the result of a detailed analysis performed to estimate our ACL. The total provision for credit losses includes the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded commitments. Refer to “—Analysis of Financial Condition — Credit Quality” for more information.
Credit provision expense of $176 million and $344 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $216 million and $219 million for the same periods in 2022. The provision expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 reflects an increased net charge-off level in the Commercial Real Estate Office portfolio given return to office dynamics and rising interest rates. Provision expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflects lower charge-off levels and reduced reserve requirements as COVID concerns subsided, partially offset by the provision associated with the Investors acquisition in the second quarter of 2022.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense of $134 million and $287 million increased $20 million and $57 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, driven by higher pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate of 22.1% and 22.5% for the same periods decreased from 23.8% and 22.7%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily driven by additional tax expense incurred in 2022 related to acquisitions, partially offset by the adoption of the proportional amortization method for qualified investments in tax credit structures in 2023 and increased non-deductible FDIC premium expense. Provision for income taxes is calculated by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income, adjusting for discrete items that occurred during the period.
Business Operating Segments
We have two business operating segments: Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking. Segment results are determined based on our management reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and statement of operations items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around our organizational and management structure. The results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions.
Developing and applying methodologies used to allocate items among the business operating segments is a dynamic process. Accordingly, financial results may be revised periodically as management systems are enhanced, methods of evaluating performance or product lines are updated, or our organizational structure changes.
There have been no significant changes in our methodologies used to allocate items to our business operating segments as described in Note 26 in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 13


The following tables present certain financial data of our business operating segments. Total business operating segment financial results differ from total consolidated financial results. These differences are reflected in Other non-segment operations. See Note 16 for additional information.

Consumer Banking
Net interest income increased $109 million and $348 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, driven by higher net interest margin reflecting higher interest-earning asset yields given higher market interest rates, partially offset by higher funding costs. Growth in average interest-earning assets, including the impacts of the HSBC transaction and Investors acquisition, is also a driver during the six-month period.
Noninterest income decreased $12 million and $13 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, driven by a decline in mortgage banking fees reflecting lower production volumes and servicing revenue, partially offset by improved gain-on-sale margins, and a decline in service charges and fees given the elimination of non-sufficient funds fees. These decreases were partially offset by higher card fees given higher transaction volumes.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 14


Noninterest expense increased $27 million and $132 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, driven primarily by acquisition-related costs and higher other operating expense associated with advertising, fraud losses, and FDIC insurance costs as a result of the increase in the base deposit insurance assessment rate of two basis points effective January 1, 2023. These increases were partially offset by the benefit of efficiency initiatives.
Net charge-offs increased $43 million and $77 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, driven by other retail, auto and education as credit losses continue to gradually normalize off pandemic-era lows.
Commercial Banking
Net interest income increased $50 million and $231 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, driven by higher net interest margin reflecting higher interest-earning asset yields given higher market interest rates, partially offset by higher funding costs. Growth in average interest-earning assets, including the impact of the Investors acquisition, is also a driver during the six-month period.
Noninterest income decreased $14 million and $26 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, driven by a decline in capital markets fees reflecting lower syndication fees, partially offset by higher merger and acquisition advisory fees, and a decline in foreign exchange and derivative products revenue reflecting lower client hedging activity. These decreases were partially offset by higher service charges and fees reflecting the benefit of acquisitions and improvement in Treasury Solutions fees and higher card fees given higher transaction volumes.
Noninterest expense increased $7 million and $66 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, driven primarily by acquisition-related costs and higher other operating expense associated with FDIC insurance costs as a result of the increase in the base deposit insurance assessment rate of two basis points effective January 1, 2023, partially offset by the benefit of efficiency initiatives.
Net charge-offs increased $61 million and $96 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, reflecting higher charge-offs in Commercial Real Estate Office and the normalization of credit losses off pandemic-era lows.

The primary objective of the securities portfolio is to provide a ready source of liquidity. The portfolio primarily includes high-quality, highly-liquid investments reflecting our ongoing commitment to maintain strong contingent liquidity levels and pledging capacity.
As of June 30, 2023, U.S. Treasury, GNMA and GSE-issued mortgage-backed securities represent 94% of the fair value of our debt securities portfolio holdings, with approximately $26.9 billion in fair value of unencumbered high-quality liquid securities serving as potential collateral for borrowings from the FHLB, FRB discount window, the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation bilateral repurchase agreement market, and the Bank Term Funding Program. Under the Bank Term Funding Program, securities are pledged at par value instead of fair value.
For further discussion of the use of our securities as liquidity collateral see the “Liquidity Risk Management and Governance” section in this document. For further discussion of liquidity requirements, see “Regulation and Supervision — Liquidity Requirements” in our 2022 Form 10-K.
We manage our securities portfolio duration and convexity risk through asset selection and securities structure, and maintain duration levels within our risk appetite in the context of the broader interest rate risk framework and limits. As of June 30, 2023, the portfolio’s average effective duration was 5.5 years compared with 5.8 years as of December 31, 2022.

Total loans and leases as of June 30, 2023 decreased compared to December 31, 2022, reflecting a $3.9 billion decrease in commercial given loan sales as part of balance sheet optimization actions and reduced line utilization by companies in anticipation of a softer economic environment. Retail declined $1.4 billion, given planned runoff in auto and a decline in education, partially offset by growth in mortgage and home equity.
Credit Quality
The ACL is a reserve to absorb estimated future credit losses in accordance with GAAP. For additional information regarding the ACL, see “Critical Accounting Estimates — Allowance for Credit Losses” and Note 4 of this report, and “Critical Accounting Estimates — Allowance for Credit Losses” and Note 6 in our 2022 Form 10-K.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the net charge-off ratio increased 27 basis points and 22 basis points, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. Net charge-offs increased $103 million and $177 million, respectively, compared to the same periods.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 18


For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the increase in net charge-offs reflects a $37 million increase in retail, primarily other retail and education, and a $66 million increase in commercial driven by Commercial Real Estate Office. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the increase in net charge-offs reflects a $70 million increase in retail, primarily other retail, education and auto, and a $107 million increase in commercial, with increases in commercial real estate and commercial and industrial. The increase in commercial real estate was driven by Commercial Real Estate Office while the commercial and industrial increase reflects company specific idiosyncratic charge-offs. The increase in retail is trending up as expected from pandemic lows.
Commercial Loan Asset Quality
Our commercial portfolio consists of traditional commercial and industrial loans, commercial leases and commercial real estate loans. As discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K, we utilize regulatory classification ratings to monitor credit quality for commercial loans and leases.
Total commercial criticized balances of $8.0 billion at June 30, 2023 increased $2.4 billion compared with December 31, 2022.
Commercial and industrial criticized balances of $3.6 billion at June 30, 2023, increased from $3.1 billion at December 31, 2022, primarily driven by the impact of increasing interest rates and certain sector-specific labor shortages in Retail and Wholesale Trade, and labor costs, labor shortages, and reimbursement challenges in health care-related not-for-profit facilities, including skilled nursing, assisted living, continuing care retirement and hospitals.
Commercial real estate criticized balances of $4.3 billion increased from $2.4 billion at December 31, 2022, primarily driven by the combined impacts of interest rates and return-to-office dynamics on the Office sector and the impacts of interest rates on the Multi-family sector. Approximately 99% of commercial real estate loans remain current on payments.
For more information on the distribution of commercial loans by vintage date and regulatory classification rating, see Note 4.

Retail Loan Asset Quality
We utilize credit scores provided by FICO, which are generally refreshed on a quarterly basis, and payment and delinquency status, among other data points, to monitor credit quality for retail loans. Management believes FICO credit scores are the strongest indicator of potential credit losses over the contractual life of the loan. These scores represent current and historical national industry-wide consumer level credit performance data, which management considers to predict a borrower’s future payment performance. The largest portion of the retail portfolio is represented by borrowers located in the New England, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions.

For more information regarding our borrowed funds, see “Liquidity” and Note 7.
CAPITAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS
We are subject to regulation and supervision by the FRB as a bank and financial holding company. Our banking subsidiary, CBNA, is a national banking association primarily regulated by the OCC. Our regulation and supervision continues to evolve as the legal and regulatory frameworks governing our operations continue to change.
Capital Adequacy Process
Our assessment of capital adequacy begins with our Board-approved risk appetite and risk management framework. This framework provides for the identification, measurement and management of material risks. There have been no significant changes to our capital adequacy risk appetite and risk management framework as described in “Capital and Regulatory Matters” in our 2022 Form 10-K.
The FRB regularly supervises and evaluates our capital adequacy and capital planning processes, including the submission of an annual capital plan approved by our Board of Directors or one of its committees, which was submitted on April 4, 2023. Under the FRB’s capital requirements we must maintain capital ratios above the sum of the regulatory minimum and SCB requirement to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. The FRB utilizes the supervisory stress test to determine our SCB, which is re-calibrated with each biennial supervisory stress test and updated annually to reflect our planned common stock dividends. As an institution subject to Category IV standards, we are subject to biennial supervisory stress testing in even-numbered years; however, the FRB required us to participate in the 2023 CCAR supervisory stress test to incorporate the effects of the Investors acquisition. Our SCB associated with the 2022 supervisory stress test is 3.4%, effective until September 30, 2023, and our SCB associated with the 2023 supervisory stress test is 4.0%, effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
Regulations relating to capital planning, regulatory reporting, stress testing and capital buffer requirements applicable to firms like us are presently subject to rule-making and potential further guidance and interpretation by the applicable federal regulators. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these and any other prudential regulatory changes, including their potential resultant changes in our regulatory and compliance costs and expenses.
For more information on our capital adequacy process, see the “Regulation and Supervision”, “Capital and Regulatory Matters” and “Tailoring of Prudential Requirements” sections in our 2022 Form 10-K, and “Recent Regulatory Developments — Proposed Regulatory Capital Revisions” below.
Regulatory Capital Ratios and Capital Composition
Under the current U.S. Basel III capital framework, we and our banking subsidiary, CBNA, must meet the following specific minimum requirements: CET1 capital ratio of 4.5%, tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, total capital ratio of 8.0% and tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. As a bank holding company, our SCB of 3.4% is imposed on top of the three minimum risk-based capital ratios listed above and a CCB of 2.5% is imposed on top of the three minimum risk-based capital ratios listed above for CBNA.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 22


For additional discussion of the U.S. Basel III capital framework and its related application, see “Regulation and Supervision” in our 2022 Form 10-K and “Recent Regulatory Developments — Proposed Regulatory Capital Revisions” below. The table below presents the regulatory capital ratios for CFG and CBNA under the U.S. Basel III Standardized rules:

At June 30, 2023, CFG’s CET1 and tier 1 capital ratios increased compared to December 31, 2022. Net income and a $6.2 billion decrease in RWA, primarily driven by lower commercial and auto loans, was partially offset by common share repurchases, dividends and a decrease in the modified CECL transition amount as we entered the second year of the CECL three-year transition period.
At June 30, 2023, CBNA’s CET1 and tier 1 capital ratios decreased slightly compared to December 31, 2022. A dividend payment to the Parent Company and a decrease in the modified CECL transition amount as we entered the second year of the CECL three-year transition period, was partially offset by net income and a $6.3 billion decrease in RWA, primarily driven by lower commercial and auto loans.
At June 30, 2023, CFG’s and CBNA’s total capital ratios increased driven by their respective changes in CET1 and tier 1 capital described above and a reduction in the modified AACL transition amount.
At June 30, 2023, CFG’s tier 1 leverage ratio increased whereas CBNA’s tier 1 leverage ratio decreased compared to December 31, 2022, driven by their respective changes in tier 1 capital described above and a decline in quarterly adjusted average assets.

Capital Transactions
We completed the following capital transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2023:
Repurchased $656 million of our outstanding common stock;
Declared and paid quarterly common stock dividends of $0.42 per share, aggregating to $410 million; and
Declared and paid preferred stock dividends aggregating to $57 million.
For additional detail regarding our common and preferred stock dividends see Note 10.
In February 2023, our Board of Directors increased our common share repurchase authorization to $2.0 billion, which was an increase of $1.15 billion above the $850 million of capacity remaining as of December 31, 2022 under the prior June 2022 authorization. All future capital distributions are subject to consideration and approval by our Board of Directors prior to execution. The timing and amount of future dividends and share repurchases will depend on various factors, including our capital position, financial performance, capital impacts of strategic initiatives, market conditions, receipt of required regulatory approvals and other regulatory considerations.

Recent Regulatory Developments
Bank Failures
On April 28, 2023, the FRB issued a report relative to its review of the supervision and regulation of Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). The report details the FRB’s assessment of the primary causes for SVB’s failure and emphasizes the FRB’s view that supervision and regulation need to be strengthened based on its findings. As a result, the FRB stated it intends to evaluate its supervisory and regulatory framework, with a focus on the following areas:
Regulatory tailoring framework, including a reassessment of a range of rules for banks with $100 billion or more in assets;
Management of interest rate risk;
Liquidity risk, commencing with the risks of uninsured deposits; and
Capital requirements.
We will continue to monitor and address changes to the FRB’s supervisory and regulatory framework that may result from this targeted review by the FRB and their associated impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Deposit Insurance
Reform Options
On May 1, 2023, the FDIC released a comprehensive overview of the deposit insurance system and options for reform to address financial stability concerns stemming from recent bank failures. The three reform options outlined for consideration are provided below, all of which would require congressional approval.
Maintain the existing deposit insurance framework at the current or a higher coverage limit;
Provide unlimited deposit insurance for all deposits; and
Provide different coverage across account types, with a focus on providing significantly higher or unlimited coverage to business payment accounts.
We will continue to monitor developments in this area and evaluate the resultant impact on our business if the FDIC decides to pursue reform of the deposit insurance system.
Proposed FDIC Special Assessment
On May 22, 2023, the FDIC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that would impose special assessments to recover the loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) arising from the protection of uninsured depositors in connection with the systemic risk determination announced on March 12, 2023, following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, as required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Under the proposal, the special assessment would be levied on the insured depository institution’s (“IDI”) assessment base, which would be equal to estimated uninsured deposits as reported on the IDI’s December 31, 2022 Call Report, excluding the first $5 billion in estimated uninsured deposits. The special assessment would be imposed at an annual rate of approximately 12.5 basis points and would be collected over eight quarterly assessment periods beginning with the first quarter of 2024.
The FDIC’s initial estimate of the loss attributable to this systemic risk determination was $15.8 billion. This estimate will be periodically adjusted as assets are sold, liabilities are satisfied, and receivership expenses are incurred. The FDIC would cease collection of special assessments before the end of the initial eight-quarter collection period if they expect the loss to be less than expected assessment collections. The FDIC also reserves the right to extend the collection period if there is a shortfall in the amount collected relative to the estimated or actual loss.
Based on the proposed rulemaking and related accounting guidance, the special assessment would impact our noninterest expense by approximately $210 million upon adoption. This amount is subject to final rulemaking by the FDIC and associated revisions, if any, relative to the application and/or levy of the special assessment on IDIs, including the eventual loss to the DIF should it differ from the FDIC’s estimate.

Proposed Regulatory Capital Revisions
On July 27, 2023, the FRB, FDIC and OCC issued a proposal to implement the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s finalization of the post-crisis bank regulatory capital reforms. The proposal, commonly referred to as Basel III “Endgame,” would significantly revise the capital requirements applicable to large banking organizations with total assets of $100 billion or more, including the Company. Under the proposal, Category III and IV firms, including the Company as a Category IV firm, would become subject to the same capital treatment regarding the inclusion of AOCI, deductions, and rules for minority interest as Category I and II firms. The proposal would also replace the existing models-based approaches for credit and operational risk, which currently apply only to Category I and II firms, with two new approaches applicable to Category I through Category IV firms. The first would use the existing standardized approach and a proposed revised market risk capital rule. The second would use a new expanded risk-based approach, which consists of new non-models-based approaches for credit risk, operational risk and credit valuation adjustment risk, as well as the proposed revised market risk capital rule. The approach resulting in the lower ratio would establish the binding ratio for purposes of satisfying regulatory capital requirements and buffers, including the SCB. Category III and IV firms would also be required to calculate counterparty credit exposure relating to derivatives transactions using the standardized approach for counterparty credit risk (SA-CCR). Additionally, Category IV firms would become subject to the supplementary leverage ratio and the countercyclical capital buffer. The proposal provides for a July 1, 2025 effective date, subject to a three-year transition period. The Company expects a net increase to its capital requirements based on our preliminary assessment of the proposed rule, with the largest impacts attributable to AOCI, as discussed below. The Company is continuing to evaluate the full impact of the proposal.
AOCI Impact on Regulatory Capital
Under the current applicable regulatory capital rules we have made the AOCI opt-out election, which enables us to exclude components of AOCI from regulatory capital. As noted above, the regulatory agencies are considering the inclusion of AOCI in regulatory capital for Category IV firms like us, including the AOCI relative to securities and pension.
The following table presents our regulatory capital ratios including the AOCI impact from securities and pension, which we believe provides useful information in light of recent events and the potential for change in the regulatory capital framework. After considering the inclusion of these components in AOCI, our regulatory capital ratios continue to exceed our required regulatory minimums.

LIQUIDITY
We define liquidity as our ability to meet our cash-flow and collateral obligations in a timely manner, at a reasonable cost. As a financial institution, we must maintain operating liquidity to meet expected daily and forecasted cash-flow requirements, as well as contingent liquidity to meet unexpected (stress scenario) funding requirements. Reflecting the importance of meeting all unexpected and stress-scenario funding requirements, we identify and manage contingent liquidity, consisting of cash balances at the FRB, unencumbered high-quality liquid securities and unused FHLB borrowing capacity. Separately, we also identify and manage asset liquidity as a subset of contingent liquidity, consisting of cash balances at the FRB and unencumbered high-quality liquid securities. We maintain additional secured borrowing capacity at the FRB discount window, but do not view this as a primary means of funding, but rather a potential source of liquidity in a stressed environment or during a market disruption. We consider the effective and prudent management of liquidity fundamental to our health and strength. We manage liquidity at the consolidated enterprise level and at each material legal entity.
Parent Company Liquidity
Our Parent Company’s primary sources of cash are dividends and interest received from CBNA resulting from investing in bank equity and subordinated debt as well as externally issued preferred stock, senior debt and subordinated debt. Uses of cash include the routine cash flow requirements as a bank holding company, including periodic share repurchases and payments of dividends, interest and expenses; the needs of subsidiaries, including CBNA for additional equity and, as required, its need for debt financing; and the support for extraordinary funding requirements when necessary. To the extent the Parent Company has relied on wholesale borrowings, uses also include payments of related principal and interest.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Parent Company declared dividends on common stock of $205 million and $195 million, respectively, and declared dividends on preferred stock of $34 million and $32 million, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Parent Company declared dividends on common stock of $410 million and $360 million, respectively, and declared dividends on preferred stock of $57 million and $56 million, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Parent Company repurchased $656 million of its outstanding common stock.
Our Parent Company’s cash and cash equivalents represent a source of liquidity that can be used to meet various needs and totaled $2.5 billion and $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Parent Company’s double-leverage ratio (the combined equity investment in Parent Company subsidiaries divided by Parent Company equity) is a measure of reliance on equity cash flows from subsidiaries to fund Parent Company obligations. The Parent Company’s double-leverage ratio was 98.2% and 101.2% as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
CBNA Liquidity
As CBNA’s primary business involves taking deposits and making loans, a key role of liquidity management is to ensure that customers have timely access to funds from deposits and for loans. Liquidity management also involves maintaining sufficient liquidity to repay wholesale borrowings, pay operating expenses and support extraordinary funding requirements when necessary. In the ordinary course of business the liquidity of CBNA is managed by matching sources and uses of cash. The primary sources of bank liquidity include deposits from our consumer and commercial customers; payments of principal and interest on loans and debt securities; and wholesale borrowings, as needed, and as described under “Liquidity Risk Management and Governance.” The primary uses of bank liquidity include withdrawals and maturities of deposits; payment of interest on deposits; funding of loans and related commitments; and funding of securities purchases. To the extent that CBNA has relied on wholesale borrowings, uses also include payments of related principal and interest. For further information on CBNA’s outstanding debt, see Note 7.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, CBNA completed the following transactions:
Issued $450 million of 5.284% fixed-to-floating rate senior notes;
Redeemed $750 million of senior notes due March 2023; and
Issued $2.0 billion of secured borrowings collateralized by auto loans.

We define liquidity risk as the risk that an entity will be unable to meet its payment obligations in a timely manner, at a reasonable cost. Liquidity risk can arise due to contingent liquidity risk and/or funding liquidity risk.
Contingent liquidity risk is the risk that market conditions may reduce an entity’s ability to liquidate, pledge and/or finance certain assets and thereby substantially reduce the liquidity value of such assets. Drivers of contingent liquidity risk include general market disruptions as well as specific issues regarding the credit quality and/or valuation of a security or loan, issuer or borrower and/or asset class.
Funding liquidity risk is the risk that market conditions and/or entity-specific events may reduce an entity’s ability to raise funds from depositors and/or wholesale market counterparties. Drivers of funding liquidity risk may be idiosyncratic or systemic, reflecting impediments to operations and/or damaged market confidence.
Factors Affecting Liquidity
Given the composition of assets and borrowing sources, contingent liquidity risk at CBNA would be materially affected by events such as deterioration of financing markets for high-quality securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities and other instruments issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC), by any inability of the FHLBs to provide collateralized advances and/or by a refusal of the FRB to act as a lender of last resort in systemic stress.
Similarly, the funding liquidity risk of CBNA could be materially affected by an adverse idiosyncratic event (e.g., a major loss, causing a perceived or actual deterioration in its financial condition), an adverse systemic event (e.g., default or bankruptcy of a significant capital markets participant), or a combination of both. Consequently, and despite ongoing exposure to a variety of idiosyncratic and systemic events, we view our contingent liquidity risk and our funding liquidity risk to be relatively low.
An additional variable affecting our access to unsecured wholesale market funds and to large denomination (i.e., uninsured) customer deposits is the credit ratings assigned by such agencies as Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch.

Our ratings have remained unchanged, and we have a “stable” outlook at Standard & Poor’s, a “negative” outlook at Moody’s and a “positive” outlook at Fitch. Changes in our public credit ratings could affect both the cost and availability of our wholesale funding.
Existing and evolving regulatory liquidity requirements represent another key driver of systemic liquidity conditions and liquidity management practices. The FRB, OCC, and FDIC regularly evaluate our liquidity as part of the overall supervisory process. In addition, we are subject to existing and evolving regulatory liquidity requirements, some of which are subject to further rulemaking, guidance and interpretation by the applicable federal regulators. For further discussion, see “Regulation and Supervision — Tailoring of Prudential Requirements” and “—Liquidity Requirements” in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Liquidity Risk Management and Governance
Liquidity risk is measured and managed by the Funding and Liquidity unit within our Treasury group in accordance with policy guidelines promulgated by our Board and the Asset Liability Committee. The Funding and Liquidity unit is responsible for maintaining a liquidity management framework that effectively manages liquidity risk. Processes within this framework include, but are not limited to, regular and comprehensive reporting, including current levels versus threshold limits for a broad set of liquidity metrics and early warning indicators, explanatory commentary relating to emerging risk trends and, as appropriate, recommended remedial strategies, liquidity stress testing, contingency funding plans, and collateral management.
Our Funding and Liquidity unit’s primary goals are to deliver and maintain prudent levels of operating liquidity to support expected and projected funding requirements, contingent liquidity to support unexpected funding requirements resulting from idiosyncratic, systemic, and combination stress events, and regulatory liquidity requirements in a timely manner from stable and cost-efficient funding sources. We seek to accomplish these goals by funding loans with stable deposits, by prudently controlling dependence on wholesale funding, particularly short-term unsecured funding, and by maintaining ample available liquidity, including a contingent liquidity buffer of unencumbered high-quality loans and securities.
We maintain a contingency funding plan designed to ensure that liquidity sources are sufficient to meet ongoing obligations and commitments, particularly in a stressed environment or during a market disruption. The plan identifies members of the liquidity contingency team and provides a framework for management to follow, including notification and escalation of potential liquidity stress events.
In response to the recent U.S. bank failures, the FRB established the Bank Term Funding Program to make additional funding available to eligible depository institutions to ensure the ability to meet the needs of all depositors. This program was designed to provide another source of liquidity against the par value of high-quality securities, eliminating the need to sell these securities during times of stress. Citizens is eligible to borrow under this program based on its existing eligibility for primary credit under the FRB discount window.
As of June 30, 2023:
Organically generated deposits continue to be our primary source of funding, resulting in a consolidated period-end loans-to-deposits ratio, excluding LHFS, of 85.2%;
Estimated insured/secured deposits comprise 70% of our consolidated deposit base of $177.7 billion.
Our total available liquidity, comprised of contingent liquidity and available discount window capacity, was approximately $78.8 billion;
Contingent liquidity was $50.9 billion, consisting of unencumbered high-quality liquid securities of $26.9 billion, unused FHLB capacity of $14.2 billion, and our cash balances at the FRB of $9.8 billion; and
Available discount window capacity was $27.9 billion, defined as available total borrowing capacity from the FRB based on identified collateral, which is primarily secured by non-mortgage commercial and retail loans.
For a summary of our sources and uses of cash by type of activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1.
The Funding and Liquidity unit monitors a variety of liquidity and funding metrics and early warning indicators and metrics, including specific risk thresholds limits. These monitoring tools are broadly classified as follows:
Current liquidity sources and capacities, including cash balances at the FRB, free and liquid securities, and secured borrowing capacity at the FHLB and FRB discount window;
Liquidity stress sources, including idiosyncratic, systemic and combined stresses, in addition to evolving regulatory requirements; and
Current and prospective exposures, including secured and unsecured wholesale funding, and spot and cumulative cash-flow gaps across a variety of horizons.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 29


Further, certain of these metrics are monitored individually for CBNA and for our consolidated enterprise on a daily basis, including cash position, unencumbered securities, asset liquidity and available FHLB borrowing capacity. In order to identify emerging trends and risks and inform funding decisions, specific metrics are also forecasted over a one-year horizon.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We engage in a variety of activities that are not reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets that are generally referred to as “off-balance sheet arrangements.” For more information on these types of activities, see Note 11.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to establish accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in our audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
An accounting estimate requires assumptions and judgments about uncertain matters that could have a material effect on our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are made using facts and circumstances known at a point in time. Changes in those facts and circumstances could produce results substantially different from those estimates. Our most significant accounting policies and estimates and their related application are discussed below. For additional information regarding fair value measurements, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL increased from $2.2 billion at December 31, 2022 to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2023.
Our ACL as of June 30, 2023 accounts for an economic forecast over our two-year reasonable and supportable period with peak unemployment of approximately 6% and peak-to-trough GDP decline of approximately 1%. This forecast reflects a moderate recession over the two-year reasonable and supportable period. This compares to our December 31, 2022 forecast which reflected the same unemployment rate with a slightly more adverse peak-to-trough GDP decline of approximately 1.4%.
Our determination of the ACL is sensitive to changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions during the reasonable and supportable forecast period. To illustrate the sensitivity, we applied a more pessimistic scenario than that described above which assumes that monetary tightening triggers a deeper real GDP contraction across our two-year reasonable and supportable forecast period, resulting in a 1.5% peak-to-trough decline in real GDP. Excluding consideration of qualitative adjustments, this scenario would result in a quantitative lifetime loss estimate of approximately 1.10x our modeled period-end ACL, or an increase of approximately $245 million. This analysis relates only to the modeled credit loss estimate and not to the overall period-end ACL, which includes qualitative adjustments.
Because several quantitative and qualitative factors are considered in determining the ACL, this sensitivity analysis does not necessarily reflect the nature and extent of future changes in the ACL or even what the ACL would be under these economic circumstances. The sensitivity is intended to provide insights into the impact of adverse changes in the macroeconomic environment and the corresponding impact to modeled loss estimates. The hypothetical determination does not incorporate the impact of management judgment or other qualitative factors that could be applied in the actual estimation of the ACL and does not imply any expectation of future deterioration in our loss rates.
It remains difficult to estimate how changes in economic forecasts might affect our ACL because such forecasts consider a wide variety of variables and inputs, and changes in the variables and inputs may not occur at the same time or in the same direction, and such changes may have differing impacts by product type. The variables and inputs may be idiosyncratically affected by risks to the economy, including changing monetary and fiscal policies, impacts from the recent stress on the banking industry, and their impact on inflationary trends. Changes in one or multiple of the key macroeconomic variables may have a material impact to our estimation of expected credit losses.
For additional information regarding the ACL, see Note 4 of this report, and “Critical Accounting Estimates - Allowance for Credit Losses” and Note 6 in our 2022 Form 10-K.

RISK GOVERNANCE
We are committed to maintaining a strong, integrated, and proactive approach to the management of all risks to which we are exposed in pursuit of our business objectives. A key aspect of our Board’s responsibility as the main decision making body is setting our risk appetite to ensure that the levels of risk that we are willing to accept in the attainment of our strategic business and financial objectives are clearly understood.
To enable our Board to carry out its objectives, it has delegated authority for risk management activities, as well as governance and oversight of those activities, to a number of Board and executive management level risk committees. The Executive Risk Committee, chaired by the Chief Risk Officer, is responsible for oversight of risk across the enterprise and actively considers our inherent material risks, analyzes our overall risk profile and seeks confirmation that the risks are being appropriately identified, assessed and mitigated. Reporting to the Executive Risk Committee are the following committees covering specific areas of risk: Compliance and Operational Risk, Model Risk, Credit Policy, Asset Liability, Business Initiatives Review, and Conduct and Ethics.
There have been no significant changes in our risk governance practices, risk framework, risk appetite, or credit risk as described in “Risk Governance” in our 2022 Form 10-K.
MARKET RISK
Market risk refers to potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and/or other relevant market rates or prices. Modest market risk arises from trading activities that serve customer needs, including the hedging of interest rate and foreign exchange risk. As described below, the market risk arising from our non-trading banking activities, such as the origination of loans and deposit-gathering, is more significant. We have established enterprise-wide policies and methodologies to identify, measure, monitor and report market risk. We actively manage market risk for both non-trading and trading activities.
Non-Trading Risk
Our non-trading banking activities expose us to market risk. This market risk is composed of interest rate risk, as we have no commodity risk and de minimis direct currency and equity risk. We also have market risk related to capital markets loan originations, as well as the valuation of our MSRs. There have been no significant changes in our sources of interest rate risk, interest rate risk practices, risk framework, metrics or assumptions as described in “Market Risk — Non-Trading Risk” in our 2022 Form 10-K.
The table below reports net interest income exposures against a variety of interest rate scenarios. Our policies involve measuring exposures as a percentage change in net interest income over the next year due to either instantaneous or gradual parallel changes in rates relative to the market implied forward yield curve. As the following table illustrates, our balance sheet is asset-sensitive; net interest income would benefit from an increase in interest rates, while exposure to a decline in interest rates is within limits established and monitored by senior management. While an instantaneous and severe shift in interest rates is included in this analysis, we believe that any actual shift in interest rates would be more gradual and, therefore, have a more modest impact.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 31


The table below presents the sensitivity of net interest income to various parallel yield curve shifts from the market implied forward yield curve:

-100(1.4)(1.4)
-200(3.1)(3.0)
We continue to manage asset sensitivity within the scope of our policy, changing market conditions and changes in our balance sheet. Asset sensitivity against a 200-basis point gradual increase in rates was 1.3% on June 30, 2023, compared with 2.7% on December 31, 2022. This decrease reflects the effects of our ongoing hedge activity combined with changes in our current and projected balance sheet mix due to the higher interest rate environment. Given the higher rate environment and cumulative effect of the FRB’s tightening of monetary policy, our down rate exposure exhibits a higher degree of sensitivity as deposit betas are expected to have an initial lagged response to a shift downward in rates over the twelve-month horizon. In addition, we expect continued non-interest bearing to interest-bearing deposit migration if rates continue to rise, naturally reducing our asset sensitivity, which is not expected to occur in a declining rate scenario. Changes in interest rates can also affect risk management activities, which impact the repricing sensitivity of the deposit base as well as the cash flows on assets that allow for early payoff without a penalty. The risk position is managed within our risk limits, and long-term view of interest rates through occasional adjustments to securities investments, interest rate derivatives and mix of funding.
We use a valuation measure of exposure to structural interest rate risk, EVE, as a supplement to net interest income simulations. EVE complements net interest income simulation analysis as it estimates risk exposure over a long-term horizon. EVE measures the extent to which the economic value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments may change in response to fluctuations in interest rates. This analysis is highly dependent upon assumptions applied to assets and liabilities with non-contractual maturities. We employ sophisticated models for prepayments and deposit pricing and attrition, which provide a granular view of cash flows based on the unique characteristics of the underlying products and customer segments. The change in value is expressed as a percentage of regulatory capital.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 32


We use interest rate contracts as part of our ALM strategy to manage exposure to the variability in the interest cash flows on our floating-rate assets and wholesale funding, the variability in the fair value of AFS securities, and to hedge market risk on fixed-rate capital markets debt issuances.
The following table presents interest rate derivative contracts that we have entered into as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The structure also includes a short cap and a long floor which are utilized to neutralize the initial premium.
The increase in the notional amount as of June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 is driven by the conversion from LIBOR to SOFR during June and the resulting addition of basis swaps to match the floating-rate index of the hedged loan portfolio.

Using the interest rate curve at June 30, 2023, we estimate that approximately $728 million in pre-tax net losses related to cash flow hedge strategies will be reclassified from AOCI to net interest income over the next 12 months, including $466 million from terminated swaps. This amount could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations and the addition of other hedges subsequent to June 30, 2023.
LIBOR Transition
In July 2017, the United Kingdom’s FCA announced that it would no longer require banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. On March 5, 2021, the FCA formally announced the future cessation of 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR rates as of December 31, 2021, with all other U.S. Dollar LIBOR tenors ceasing as of June 30, 2023. In the United States, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a group of private-market participants convened to help ensure a successful transition away from U.S. Dollar LIBOR, identified SOFR as its recommended alternative rate.
On March 15, 2022, the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”) was signed into law, with the FRB adopting its final rule, effective February 27, 2023, to implement the LIBOR Act on December 16, 2022. The final rule addresses references to LIBOR in contracts that (i) are governed by U.S. law; (ii) will not mature before June 30, 2023; and (iii) lack fallback provisions providing for a clearly defined and practical replacement for LIBOR. An overview of the final rule is provided below.
Identifies FRB-selected benchmark replacement rates based on SOFR for contracts that lack adequate fallback provisions, with a spread adjustment incorporated for each specified tenor of LIBOR;
Authorizes persons who have discretionary authority for selecting a LIBOR replacement to opt into a statutory safe harbor from liability by selecting the benchmark identified by the FRB;
Clarifies certain matters related to the implementation, administration, and calculation of the benchmark replacement rate;
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 34


Indicates that the rule preempts any state or local law or standard related to the selection or use of a benchmark replacement rate for LIBOR; and
Ensures that contracts adopting a benchmark rate selected by the FRB will not be interrupted or terminated following LIBOR’s replacement.
In 2018, we formed a LIBOR Transition Program (“the Program”) designed to develop plans for and guide the organization through the planned discontinuation of LIBOR. The Program, with direction and oversight from our Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for developing, maintaining and executing against a coordinated strategy to ensure a timely and orderly transition from LIBOR. The Program’s key accomplishments since inception include, but are not limited to, the following:
Moved new originations to alternative reference rates;
Upgraded standard form provisions and issued implementation guidance to require the use of reference rate fallback language in any new and existing LIBOR contracts in connection with contract amendments made in the ordinary course of business;
Remediated existing LIBOR loans and derivatives to alternative reference rates;
Completed operational readiness of systems, models and applications to handle all potential alternative reference rates; and
Analyzed existing fallback language in legacy contracts to devise a strategy for those requiring remediation.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s transition and remediation efforts are complete, with ongoing monitoring for LIBOR-based financial instruments that will transition to alternative rates at their next interest rate reset.
See the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Form 10-K for further discussion of the risks facing the Company in relation to the transition away from LIBOR.
Capital Markets
A key component of our capital markets activities is the underwriting and distribution of corporate credit facilities to partially finance merger and acquisition transactions for our clients. We have a rigorous risk management process around these activities, including a limit structure capping our underwriting risk, potential loss, and sub-limits for specific asset classes. Further, the ability to approve underwriting exposure is delegated only to senior level individuals in the credit risk management and capital markets organizations with each transaction adjudicated in the Loan Underwriting Approval Committee.
Mortgage Servicing Rights    
We have market risk associated with the value of residential MSRs, which are impacted by various types of inherent risks, including duration, basis, convexity, volatility and yield curve.
As part of our overall risk management strategy we enter into various free-standing derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, interest rate futures and forward contracts to purchase mortgage-backed securities to economically hedge the changes in fair value of our MSRs. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of our MSRs was $1.5 billion, and the total notional amount of related derivative contracts was $18.9 billion and $12.9 billion, respectively. Gains and losses on MSRs and the related derivatives used for hedging are included in mortgage banking fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As with our traded market risk-based activities, earnings at risk excludes the impact of MSRs. MSRs are captured under our single price risk management framework that is used for calculating a management value at risk consistent with the definition used by banking regulators.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 35


Trading Risk
We are exposed to market risk primarily through client facilitation activities including derivatives and foreign exchange products as well as underwriting and market making activities. Exposure is created as a result of changes in interest rates and related basis spreads and volatility, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, and credit spreads on a select range of interest rates, foreign exchange, commodities, equity securities, corporate bonds and secondary loan instruments. These securities underwriting and trading activities are conducted through CBNA, CCMI and JMP. There have been no significant changes in our market risk governance, market risk measurement, or market risk practices including VaR, stressed VaR, sensitivity analysis, stress testing, or VaR model review and validation as described in “Market Risk — Trading Risk” in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Market Risk Regulatory Capital
The U.S. banking regulators’ “Market Risk Rule” covers the calculation of market risk capital. Under this rule all of our client facing trades and associated hedges maintain a net low risk and qualify as “covered positions.” The internal management VaR measure is calculated based on the same population of trades that is utilized for regulatory VaR.

VaR Backtesting
Backtesting is one form of validation of the VaR model and is run daily. The Market Risk Rule requires a comparison of our internal VaR measure to the actual net trading revenue (excluding fees, commissions, reserves, intra-day trading and net interest income) for each day over the preceding year (the most recent 250 business days). Any observed loss in excess of the VaR number is taken as an exception. The level of exceptions determines the multiplication factor used to derive the VaR and SVaR-based capital requirement for regulatory reporting purposes, when applicable. We perform sub-portfolio backtesting as required under the Market Risk Rule, using models approved by our banking regulators for interest rate, credit spread and foreign exchange positions.
The following graph shows our daily net trading revenue and total internal, modeled VaR for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes presented in this document, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP interim reporting requirements and, therefore, do not include all information and Notes included in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented in this document should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. The Company’s principal business activity is banking, conducted through its subsidiary CBNA.
The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Citizens and its subsidiaries, and VIEs in which Citizens has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the ACL.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2023
PronouncementSummary of GuidanceEffects on Financial Statements
Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

Issued March 2022
Effective date: January 1, 2023.

Eliminates the separate recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs.

Requires evaluation of all modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty (or FDMs) to determine whether the modification results in a new loan or continuation of an existing loan.

Requires expected credit losses measured under a discounted cash flow method to be determined using an effective interest rate based on the modified (not original) contractual terms of the loan.

Enhances disclosures by creditors for modifications of receivables from borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the form of principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or a term extension.

Requires disclosure of current period gross charge-offs by vintage year for loans and net investments in leases.

Transition is prospective, with an option to adopt the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs on a modified retrospective basis, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption.
The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2023, and elected to apply the new measurement and recognition guidance for legacy TDRs under the modified retrospective transition method.

Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Required disclosures and discussion of significant accounting policies for modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are included in Note 4.

Disclosure of gross charge-offs by vintage year did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method

Issued March 2022
Effective date: January 1, 2023.

Replaces the ‘last-of-layer’ method.

Allows the designation of multiple layers in a closed portfolio of financial assets.

Permits hedging of non-prepayable and prepayable assets.

Prohibits the consideration of basis adjustments when measuring expected credit losses of assets in the closed portfolio or determining whether an AFS security is impaired.

The guidance on hedging multiple layers in a closed portfolio is applied prospectively. The guidance on the accounting for fair value basis adjustments is applied on a modified retrospective basis.
The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2023.

Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method

Issued March 2023
Effective date: January 1, 2024.

Permits use of the proportional amortization method of accounting for all tax equity investments provided that certain conditions are met.

Proportional amortization method is elected on a tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis.

Permits adoption under the modified retrospective method or retrospective method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the current period or first period presented, respectively. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2023 for renewable energy and new markets tax credit investments, under the modified retrospective approach.

Adoption resulted in a cumulative-effect reduction of $26 million, net of taxes, to retained earnings and a corresponding reduction to other assets of $101 million and other liabilities of $75 million, reflecting the elimination of deferred tax liabilities associated with renewable energy investments that qualify for the proportional amortization method of accounting.

The Company regularly enters into security repurchase agreements with unrelated counterparties, which involve the transfer of a security from one party to another, and a subsequent transfer of substantially the same security back to the original party. These repurchase agreements are typically short-term in nature and are accounted for as secured borrowed funds in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized no offsetting of short-term receivables or payables as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
There were no securitizations of mortgage loans retained in the investment portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Securitizations of mortgage loans retained in the investment portfolio were $40 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. These securitizations include a substantive guarantee by a third party. The guarantors were FNMA and FHLMC in 2022. The debt securities received from the guarantors are classified as AFS.
Impairment
The Company evaluated its existing HTM portfolio as of June 30, 2023 and concluded that 94% of HTM securities met the zero expected credit loss criteria and, therefore, no ACL was recognized. Lifetime expected credit losses on the remainder of the HTM portfolio were determined to be insignificant based on the modeling of the Company’s credit loss position in the securities. The Company monitors the credit exposure through the use of credit quality indicators. For these securities, the Company uses external credit ratings or an internally derived credit rating when an external rating is not available. All securities were determined to be investment grade at June 30, 2023.

Citizens does not currently have the intent to sell these debt securities, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost bases. Citizens has determined that credit losses are not expected to be incurred on the AFS debt securities identified with unrealized losses as of June 30, 2023. The unrealized losses on these debt securities reflect non-credit-related factors driven by changes in interest rates. Therefore, the Company has determined that these debt securities are not impaired.

NOTE 4 - CREDIT QUALITY AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Allowance for Credit Losses    
Management’s estimate of expected credit losses in the Company’s loan and lease portfolios is recorded in the ALLL and the allowance for unfunded lending commitments (collectively the ACL). The Company’s estimate of expected credit losses considers extensive historical loss experience, including the impact of loss mitigation and restructuring programs that the Company offers to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, as well as projected loss severity as a result of loan default.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 52


Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that eliminates the separate recognition and measurement of TDRs. Upon adoption of this guidance, the ACL for loans previously identified as TDRs is measured at the product level based on post-modification credit attributes and use of an econometric model.
For a detailed discussion of the ACL reserve methodology and estimation techniques as of December 31, 2022, see Note 6 in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. There were no significant changes to the ACL reserve methodology during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
The following table presents a summary of changes in the ACL for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023:

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net charge-offs of $285 million and a credit provision of $344 million resulted in an increase of $59 million to the ACL.
Our ACL as of June 30, 2023 accounts for an economic forecast over our two-year reasonable and supportable period with peak unemployment of approximately 6% and peak-to-trough GDP decline of approximately 1%. This forecast reflects a moderate recession over the two-year reasonable and supportable period.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company presents loan and lease portfolio segments and classes by credit quality indicator and vintage year. Citizens defines the vintage date for the purpose of this disclosure as the date of the most recent credit decision. Renewals are categorized as new credit decisions and reflect the renewal date as the vintage date, except for renewals of loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, or FDMs, which are presented in the original vintage.
Citizens utilizes regulatory classification ratings to monitor credit quality for commercial loans and leases. For more information on regulatory classification ratings see Note 6 in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of commercial loans and leases by vintage date and regulatory classification rating as of June 30, 2023, and gross charge-offs by vintage date for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

For retail loans, Citizens utilizes FICO credit scores and the loan’s payment and delinquency status to monitor credit quality. Management believes FICO scores are the strongest indicator of credit losses over the contractual life of the loan and assist management in predicting the borrower’s future payment performance. Scores are based on current and historical national industry-wide consumer level credit performance data.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted accounting guidance that eliminates the recognition and measurement of TDRs. Upon adoption of this guidance, all loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, or FDMs, are evaluated to determine whether the modification should be accounted for as a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. The existing loan is derecognized and the restructured loan is accounted for as a new loan if the effective yield on the restructured loan is at least equal to the effective yield for comparable loans with similar collection risk and the modification to the original loan is more than minor. Any unamortized fees and costs from the original loan are recognized in interest income when the new loan is granted. If a loan restructuring does not meet these conditions, the existing loan’s amortized cost basis is carried forward and the modified loan is accounted for as a continuation of the existing loan. FDMs are generally accounted for as a continuation of the existing loan given the terms are typically not at market rates.
The Company offers loan modifications to retail and commercial borrowers as a result of its loss mitigation activities that may result in a payment delay, interest rate reduction, term extension, principal forgiveness, or combination thereof. Payment delays consist of modifications that result in a delay of contractual amounts due greater than three months over a rolling 12-month period.
Commercial loan modifications are offered on a case-by-case basis and generally include a payment delay, term extension and/or interest rate reduction. The Company does not typically offer principal forgiveness for commercial loans. Retail loan modifications are offered through structured loan modification programs, which are summarized below.
Forbearance programs provide borrowers experiencing some form of hardship a period of time during which their contractual payment obligations are suspended, resulting in a payment delay and/or term extension.
Other repayment plans are offered due to hardship and include an interest rate reduction and/or term extension designed to enable the borrower to return the loan to current status in an expeditious manner.
Settlement agreements may be executed with borrowers experiencing a long-term hardship or who are delinquent, resulting in principal forgiveness. Upon fulfillment of the terms of the settlement agreement, the unpaid principal amount is forgiven resulting in a charge-off of the outstanding principal balance.
Certain reorganization bankruptcy judgments may result in any one of the four modification types or some combination thereof.
The following tables present the period-end amortized cost of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, disaggregated by class of financing receivable and modification type. The modification type reflects the cumulative effect of all FDMs received during the indicated period.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s lending activity is geographically well diversified with an emphasis in our core markets located in the New England, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions. Generally, loans are collateralized by assets including real estate, inventory, accounts receivable, other personal property and investment securities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no material concentration risks within the commercial or retail loan portfolios. Exposure to credit losses arising from lending transactions may fluctuate with fair values of collateral supporting loans, which may not perform according to contractual agreements. The Company’s policy is to collateralize loans to the extent necessary; however, unsecured loans are also granted on the basis of the financial strength of the applicant and the facts surrounding the transaction.
NOTE 5 - MORTGAGE BANKING AND OTHER SERVICED LOANS
The Company sells residential mortgages into the secondary market. The Company retains no beneficial interests in these sales, but may retain the servicing rights for the loans sold. The Company may exercise its option to repurchase eligible government guaranteed residential mortgages or may be obligated to subsequently repurchase a loan if the purchaser discovers a representation or warranty violation such as noncompliance with eligibility or servicing requirements, or customer fraud that should have been identified in a loan file review.
The following table summarizes activity related to residential mortgage loans sold with servicing rights retained:

The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans related to our MSRs was $96.6 billion and $96.7 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company manages the risk associated with changes in the value of the MSRs with an active hedging strategy, which includes the purchase of freestanding derivatives.

paydowns, and ii) loans that paid off during the period.
(2) Represents changes in value primarily driven by market conditions. These changes are recorded in mortgage banking fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of MSRs is estimated by using the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration actual and expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, contractual servicing fee income, servicing costs, default rates, ancillary income, and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market interest rates. The valuation does not attempt to forecast or predict the future direction of interest rates.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 64


The sensitivity analysis below presents the impact of an immediate 10% and 20% adverse change in key economic assumptions to the current fair value of MSRs. These sensitivities are hypothetical, with the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSRs calculated independently without changing any other assumption. Changes in one factor may result in changes in another (e.g., changes in interest rates, which drive changes in prepayment rates, could result in changes in the discount rates), which may amplify or counteract the sensitivities. The primary risk inherent in the Company’s MSRs is an increase in prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans serviced, which is largely dependent upon movements in market interest rates.

NOTE 6 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Citizens, in the normal course of business, engages in a variety of activities with entities that are considered VIEs, as defined by GAAP, with its variable interest arising from contractual, ownership or other monetary interests in the entity. A VIE typically does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Citizens is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and must consolidate it, if its variable interest provides it with the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the VIE and it has the right to receive benefits, or the obligation to absorb losses, that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Citizens considers both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of its involvement with the VIE to determine whether or not a variable interest held is significant to the VIE. Citizens assesses whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis.
Transfers of financial assets in which the Company has not surrendered control over the transferred assets are accounted for as a secured borrowing with a pledge of collateral. Control is generally considered surrendered when 1) the transferred assets are legally isolated from the Company and its creditors, even in bankruptcy, 2) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the transferred assets it received, with no condition that constrains the transferee from taking advantage of this right or that provides more than a trivial benefit to the Company, and 3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred financial assets. Judgment is required to assess whether the Company maintains effective control over transferred financial assets.
For more details regarding the Company’s involvement with VIEs see Note 11 in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 65


Consolidated VIEs
The Company has consolidated VIEs related to secured borrowings collateralized by auto loans. The following table summarizes the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for the Company’s consolidated VIEs:
(dollars in millions)June 30, 2023
Assets:
Cash and due from banks$149 
Loans and leases2,207 
Other assets
Total assets$2,362 
Liabilities:
Long-term borrowed funds$2,000 
Other liabilities
Total liabilities$2,002 
Secured Borrowings
Citizens utilizes a portion of its auto loan portfolio to support certain secured borrowing arrangements, which provide a source of funding for the Company and involves the transfer of auto loans to bankruptcy remote special purpose entities (“SPEs”). These SPEs then issue asset-backed notes to third-parties collateralized by the transferred loans. Citizens holds certain residual interests in the loans and, therefore, has a right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the SPEs. In addition, the Company retains servicing for the transferred loans and, therefore, holds the power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance of the SPEs. As a result, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of these SPEs and, accordingly, consolidates these VIEs.
The assets of a particular VIE are the primary source of funds to settle its obligations. Creditors of these VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company. The performance of the loans transferred to the SPEs is the most significant driver impacting the economic performance of the VIEs.
Unconsolidated VIEs
Citizens is involved with various VIEs that are not consolidated, including investments in entities that sponsor affordable housing, renewable energy and economic development projects, and asset-backed securities. In addition, Citizens provides lending facilities to special purpose entities. Citizens’ maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these entities is limited to the balance sheet carrying amount of its investments, unfunded commitments, and the outstanding principal balance of loans to special purpose entities.
A summary of these investments is presented below:
(dollars in millions)June 30, 2023December 31, 2022

Lending to Special Purpose Entities
Citizens provides lending facilities to third-party sponsored special purpose entities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the lending facilities had undrawn commitments to extend credit of $2.4 billion. For more information on commitments to extend credit see Note 11.
Low Income Housing Tax Credit Partnerships
The purpose of the Company’s LIHTC investments is to assist in achieving the goals of the Community Reinvestment Act and to earn an adequate return of capital.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 66


Renewable Energy Entities
The Company’s investments in certain renewable energy entities provide benefits from government incentives and other tax attributes (e.g., tax depreciation).
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company made an election to account for its renewable energy investments using the proportional amortization method under newly adopted accounting guidance. Under the proportional amortization method, the Company amortizes the initial cost of its qualifying renewable energy investments in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received in the current period as compared to the total income tax credits and other income tax benefits expected to be received over the life of the investment. The net amortization and income tax credits and other income tax benefits received are included as a component of income tax expense (benefit).
Contingent commitments related to the Company’s renewable energy investments were $7 million at June 30, 2023, and are expected to be paid in varying amounts through 2026. These payments are contingent upon the level of electricity production attained by the renewable energy entity relative to its targeted threshold and changes in the production tax credit rates set by the Internal Revenue Service.
New Markets Tax Credit Program
The Company participates in the NMTC program which provides a tax incentive for private sector investment into economic development projects and businesses located in low-income communities. The United States Department of the Treasury oversees the program and it is directly administered by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund.
The Company’s investments in entities that sponsor economic development projects provide income tax credits to offset federal taxable income over a specified period of time. Independent third parties manage these entities and have the power to direct the activities which most significantly affect their performance. Therefore, Citizens is not the primary beneficiary of these entities and does not consolidate these VIEs as a result.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company made an election to account for its NMTC investments using the proportional amortization method under newly adopted accounting guidance. Under the proportional amortization method, the Company applies a practical expedient and amortizes the initial cost of its qualifying NMTC investments in proportion to the income tax credits received in the current period as compared to the total income tax credits expected to be received over the life of the investment. The net amortization and income tax credits and other income tax benefits received are included as a component of income tax expense (benefit).
The following table summarizes the impact to the Consolidated Statements of Operations relative to the Company’s tax credit programs for which it has elected to apply the proportional amortization method of accounting:

The Company’s derivative transactions are internally divided into three sub-groups: institutional, customer and residential loan. Certain derivative transactions within these sub-groups are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges, as described below:
Derivatives Designated As Hedging Instruments
The Company’s institutional derivatives qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The net interest accruals on interest rate swaps designated in a fair value or cash flow hedge relationship are treated as an adjustment to interest income or interest expense of the item being hedged. The Company formally documents all hedging relationships at inception, as well as risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various accounting hedges. Additionally, the Company monitors the effectiveness of its hedge relationships during the duration of the hedge period. The methods utilized to assess hedge effectiveness vary based on the hedge relationship, and the Company monitors each relationship to ensure that management’s initial intent continues to be satisfied. The Company discontinues hedge accounting treatment when it is determined that a derivative is not expected to be, or has ceased to be, effective as a hedge and subsequently reflects changes in the fair value of the derivative in earnings after termination of the hedge relationship.
Fair Value Hedges
In a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged asset or liability attributable to the risk being hedged are recognized in the same income statement line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the changes in fair value occur. During the quarter the Company entered into fair value hedges to manage interest rate risk on the AFS securities portfolio.
The following table presents the change in fair value of interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges, as well as the change in fair value of the related hedged items attributable to the risk being hedged, included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments included in the carrying amount of the hedged items(9)(26)— (27)
Cash Flow Hedges
In a cash flow hedge the entire change in the fair value of the interest rate swap included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is initially recorded in OCI and is subsequently reclassified from AOCI to current period earnings (net interest income) in the same period that the hedged item affects earnings.
Citizens Financial Group, Inc. | 70


Citizens has entered into interest rate swap agreements designed to hedge a portion of the Company’s floating-rate assets and liabilities. All of these swaps have been deemed highly effective cash flow hedges. The Company has also entered into certain interest rate option agreements that utilize interest rate floors and caps, or some combination thereof, providing the ability to hedge the variability in cash flows within different interest rate bands. Option premiums paid and received are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortized over the life of the instruments.
The following table presents the pre-tax net gains (losses) recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges:
Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in millions)2023202220232022

Amount of pre-tax net gains (losses) reclassified from AOCI into interest income(137)12 (264)49 
Amount of pre-tax net gains (losses) reclassified from AOCI into interest expense(1)(6)
Using the interest rate curve at June 30, 2023 with respect to cash flow hedge strategies, the Company estimates that approximately $728 million in pre-tax net losses will be reclassified from AOCI to net interest income over the next 12 months, including $466 million related to terminated swaps. This amount could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations and the addition of other hedges subsequent to June 30, 2023.
Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments
Economic Hedges
The Company’s economic hedges include those related to offsetting customer derivatives, residential mortgage loan derivatives (including interest rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments) and derivatives to hedge its residential MSRs. Customer derivatives include interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity derivative contracts designed to meet the hedging and financing needs of the Company’s customers, and are economically hedged by the Company to offset its market exposure. Interest rate lock commitments on residential mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivative instruments, and are economically hedged by entering into forward sale commitments to manage changes in fair value due to interest rate risk. Residential MSR derivatives are entered into to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of the Company’s MSRs.

Commitments to Extend Credit
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers in accordance with conditions contractually agreed upon in advance. Generally, the commitments have fixed expiration dates or termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contract amounts are not necessarily indicative of future cash requirements.
Letters of Credit
Letters of credit in the table above reflect commercial, standby financial and standby performance letters of credit. Financial and performance standby letters of credit are issued by the Company for the benefit of its customers. They are used as conditional guarantees of payment to a third party in the event the customer either fails to make specific payments (financial) or fails to complete a specific project (performance). The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of counterparty nonperformance in connection with the above instruments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Generally, letters of credit are collateralized by cash, accounts receivable, inventory or investment securities. Credit risk associated with letters of credit is considered in determining the appropriate amounts of allowances for unfunded commitments. Standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit are issued for terms of up to ten years and one year, respectively.
Other Commitments
Citizens has additional off-balance sheet arrangements that are summarized below:
Marketing Rights - During 2003, Citizens entered into a 25-year agreement to acquire the naming and marketing rights of a baseball stadium in Pennsylvania.
Loans sold with recourse - Citizens is an originator and servicer of residential mortgages and routinely sells such mortgage loans in the secondary market and to GSEs. In the context of such sales, the Company makes certain representations and warranties regarding the characteristics of the underlying loans and, as a result, may be contractually required to repurchase such loans or indemnify certain parties against losses for certain breaches of those representations and warranties. The Company also sells the government guaranteed portion of certain SBA loans to outside investors, for which it retains the servicing rights.
Risk Participation Agreements - RPAs are guarantees issued by the Company to other parties for a fee, whereby the Company agrees to participate in the credit risk of a derivative customer of the other party. The current amount of credit exposure is spread out over multiple counterparties. At June 30, 2023, the remaining terms on these RPAs ranged from less than one year to seven years.

Contingencies
The Company operates in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes it to potentially significant risks. A certain amount of litigation ordinarily results from the nature of the Company’s banking and other businesses. The Company is a party to legal proceedings, including class actions. The Company is also the subject of investigations, reviews, subpoenas, and regulatory matters arising out of its normal business operations which, in some instances, relate to concerns about fair lending, unfair and/or deceptive practices, and mortgage-related issues. In addition, the Company engages in discussions with relevant governmental and regulatory authorities on a regular and ongoing basis regarding various issues, and any issues discussed or identified may result in investigatory or other action being taken. Litigation and regulatory matters may result in settlements, damages, fines, penalties, public or private censure, increased costs, required remediation, restrictions on business activities, or other impacts on the Company.
In these disputes and proceedings, the Company contests liability and the amount of damages as appropriate. Given their complex nature, and based on the Company's experience, it may be years before some of these matters are finally resolved. Moreover, before liability can be reasonably estimated for a claim, numerous legal and factual issues may need to be examined, including through potentially lengthy discovery and determination of important factual matters, and by addressing novel or unsettled legal issues relevant to the proceedings in question. The Company cannot predict with certainty if, how, or when such claims will be resolved or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, may be, particularly for claims that are at an early stage in their development or where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages. The Company recognizes a provision for a claim when, in the opinion of management after seeking legal advice, it is probable that a liability exists and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In many proceedings, however, it is not possible to determine whether any loss is probable or to estimate the amount of any loss.
Based on information currently available, the advice of legal counsel and other advisers, and established reserves, management believes that the aggregate liabilities, if any, potentially arising from these proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 12 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Citizens measures or monitors many of its assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is used on a recurring basis for assets and liabilities for which fair value is the required or elected measurement basis of accounting. Additionally, fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to evaluate assets for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Citizens also applies the fair value measurement guidance to determine amounts reported for certain disclosures in this Note for assets and liabilities that are not required to be reported at fair value in the financial statements.
Fair Value Option
Citizens elected to account for residential mortgage LHFS and certain commercial and industrial, and commercial real estate LHFS at fair value. The following table presents the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of LHFS measured at fair value:

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
