NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation were included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. Certain items in prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report of Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the Corporation) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosures” (ASU 2022-02), which eliminates the accounting for troubled debt restructuring (TDR) while expanding modification and vintage disclosure requirements. Under the previous guidance, a TDR occurs when a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty is restructured with a concession provided that a creditor would not otherwise consider. ASU 2022-02 removes the TDR accounting model, instead requiring modifications to apply existing refinancing and restructuring guidance. The update also requires additional disclosures on the nature, magnitude and subsequent performance of certain types of modifications with borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2022-02 further included a requirement to disclose gross charge-offs incurred by year of origination of the related loan or lease. ASU 2022-02 is effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2023, and must be applied prospectively, except that the recognition and measurement of TDRs may be applied using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is evaluating the impact of the new guidance to its disclosures but does not expect there to be a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.

NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Corporation utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not available, the Corporation uses present value techniques and other valuation methods to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and methods used.

Investment securities available-for-sale, derivatives, deferred compensation plans and equity securities with readily determinable fair values (primarily money market mutual funds) are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Corporation may be required to record other assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, other real estate (primarily foreclosed property), nonmarketable equity securities and certain other assets and liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve write-downs of individual assets or application of lower of cost or fair value accounting.

Refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for further information about the fair value hierarchy, descriptions of the valuation methodologies and key inputs used to measure financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, as well as a description of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value disclosures for financial instruments not recorded at fair value in their entirety on a recurring basis.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Corporation may be required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These include assets that are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, and were recognized at fair value since it was less than cost at the end of the period.

The following table presents assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. No liabilities were recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Total assets at fair value															$	73
December 31, 2021
Loans:
Commercial															$	125
Real estate construction															4

Total assets at fair value															$	150

Level 3 assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included both nonaccrual loans and TDRs for which a specific allowance was established based on the fair value of collateral. The unobservable inputs were the additional adjustments applied by management to the appraised values to reflect such factors as non-current appraisals and revisions to estimated time to sell. These adjustments are determined based on qualitative judgments made by management on a case-by-case basis and are not observable inputs, although they are used in the determination of fair value.

Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Corporation typically holds the majority of its financial instruments until maturity and thus does not expect to realize many of the estimated fair value amounts disclosed. The disclosures also do not include estimated fair value amounts for items that are not defined as financial instruments, but which have significant value. These include such items as core deposit intangibles, the future earnings potential of significant customer relationships and the value of trust operations and other fee generating businesses. The Corporation believes the imprecision of an estimate could be significant.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value in their entirety on a recurring basis on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

(a)Unrealized losses totaled less than $0.5 million in Less than 12 Months category.

(b)Issued and/or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.

Unrealized losses resulted from changes in market interest rates. The Corporation’s portfolio is comprised of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or government-sponsored enterprises. As such, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investments. Further, the Corporation does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the investments before recovery of amortized costs. At March 31, 2022, the Corporation had 943 securities in an unrealized loss position with no allowance for credit losses, comprised of 20 U.S. Treasury securities, 790 residential mortgage-backed securities and 133 commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Interest receivable on investment securities totaled $29 million at March 31, 2022 and $23 million at December 31, 2021 and was included in accrued income and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sales, calls and write-downs of investment securities available-for-sale, computed based on the adjusted cost of the specific security, resulted in no gains or losses during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or March 31, 2021.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair values of investment securities by contractual maturity. Securities with multiple maturity dates are classified in the period of final maturity. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

(in millions)
March 31, 2022			Amortized Cost						Fair Value
Contractual maturity
Within one year			$	800					$	804
After one year through five years			2,414						2,311
After five years through ten years			2,377						2,276
After ten years			14,314						13,419
Total investment securities			$	19,905					$	18,810

Included in the contractual maturity distribution in the table above were residential mortgage-backed securities with a total amortized cost of $14.9 billion and fair value of $14.0 billion and commercial mortgage-backed securities with a total amortized cost of $2.1 billion and a fair value of $2.0 billion. The actual cash flows of mortgage-backed securities may differ as borrowers of the underlying loans may exercise prepayment options.

At March 31, 2022, investment securities with a carrying value of $2.7 billion were pledged where permitted or required by law, including $1.4 billion pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) as collateral for potential future borrowings and $1.3 billion to secure $983 million of liabilities, primarily deposits of state and local government agencies as well as derivative instruments. For information on FHLB borrowings, refer to Note 7.

(a)Includes all loans not included in the categories of special mention, substandard or nonaccrual.

(b)Includes Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans of $233 million and $458 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(c)Includes loans with an internal rating of special mention, substandard loans for which the accrual of interest has not been discontinued and nonaccrual loans. Special mention loans have potential credit weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention, such as loans to borrowers who may be experiencing financial difficulties that may result in deterioration of repayment prospects from the borrower at some future date. Accruing substandard loans have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, such as loans to borrowers who may be experiencing losses from operations or inadequate liquidity of a degree and duration that jeopardizes the orderly repayment of the loan. Substandard loans are also distinguished by the distinct possibility of loss in the future if these weaknesses are not corrected. Nonaccrual loans are loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued. For further information regarding nonaccrual loans, refer to the Nonperforming Assets subheading in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies on page F-52 in the Corporation's 2021 Annual Report. These categories are generally consistent with the "special mention" and "substandard" categories as defined by regulatory authorities. A minority of nonaccrual loans are consistent with the "doubtful" category.

Loan interest receivable totaled $120 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and was included in accrued income and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The following table details the amortized cost basis at March 31, 2022 and 2021 of loans considered to be TDRs that were restructured during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, by type of modification. In cases of loans with more than one type of modification, the loans were categorized based on the most significant modification.

			Principal Deferrals (a)
(in millions)			2022						2021 (b)
Three Months Ended March 31,
Commercial			$	21											$	—
Consumer:
Home equity (c)			2												—
Total loans			$	23											$	—

(a)Primarily represents loan balances where terms were extended by more than an insignificant time period, typically more than 180 days, at or above contractual interest rates. Also includes commercial loans restructured in bankruptcy.

(b)Under the provisions of the CARES Act, qualifying COVID-19-related modifications, primarily principal deferrals, were not considered TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

(c)Includes bankruptcy loans for which the court has discharged the borrower's obligation and the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt.

The Corporation charges interest on principal balances outstanding during deferral periods. Additionally, none of the modifications involved forgiveness of principal. Commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose terms have been modified in TDRs were $1 million at March 31, 2022 compared to none at December 31, 2021, respectively. On an ongoing basis, the Corporation monitors the performance of modified loans to their restructured terms. The allowance for loan losses continues to be reassessed on the basis of an individual evaluation of the loan.

For principal deferrals, incremental deterioration in the credit quality of the loan, represented by a downgrade in the risk rating of the loan, for example, due to missed interest payments or a reduction of collateral value, is considered a subsequent default. For interest rate reductions, a subsequent payment default is defined in terms of delinquency, when a principal or interest payment is 90 days past due. Of the TDRs modified during the twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no subsequent defaults of principal deferrals or interest rate reductions for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVE AND CREDIT-RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into various transactions involving derivative and credit-related financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rate, foreign currency and other market risks and to meet the financing needs of customers (customer-initiated derivatives). These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and credit risk. Market and credit risk are included in the determination of fair value.

Market risk is the potential loss that may result from movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or energy commodity prices that cause an unfavorable change in the value of a financial instrument. The Corporation manages this risk by establishing monetary exposure limits and monitoring compliance with those limits. Market risk inherent in interest rate and energy contracts entered into on behalf of customers is mitigated by taking offsetting positions, except in those circumstances when the amount, tenor and/or contract rate level results in negligible economic risk, whereby the cost of purchasing an offsetting contract is not economically justifiable. The Corporation mitigates most of the inherent market risk in foreign exchange contracts entered into on behalf of customers by taking offsetting positions and manages the remainder through individual foreign currency position limits and aggregate value-at-risk limits. These limits are established annually and positions are monitored quarterly. Market risk inherent in derivative instruments held or issued for risk management purposes is typically offset by changes in the fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged.

Credit risk is the possible loss that may occur in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to a financial instrument. The Corporation attempts to minimize credit risk arising from customer-initiated derivatives by evaluating the creditworthiness of each customer, adhering to the same credit approval process used for traditional lending activities and obtaining collateral as deemed necessary. Derivatives with dealer counterparties are either cleared through a clearinghouse or settled directly with a single counterparty. For derivatives settled directly with dealer counterparties, the Corporation utilizes counterparty risk limits and monitoring procedures as well as master netting arrangements and bilateral collateral agreements to facilitate the management of credit risk.

Included in the fair value of derivative instruments are credit valuation adjustments reflecting counterparty credit risk. These adjustments are determined by applying a credit spread for the counterparty or the Corporation, as appropriate, to the total expected exposure of the derivative. Master netting arrangements effectively reduce credit valuation adjustments by

permitting settlement of positive and negative positions and offset cash collateral held with the same counterparty on a net basis. Bilateral collateral agreements require daily exchange of cash or highly rated securities issued by the U.S. Treasury or other U.S. government entities to collateralize amounts due to either party. At March 31, 2022, counterparties with bilateral collateral agreements deposited $99 million of cash with the Corporation to secure the fair value of contracts in an unrealized gain position, and the Corporation had pledged $161 million of marketable investment securities and posted $1.4 billion of cash as collateral for contracts in an unrealized loss position. For those counterparties not covered under bilateral collateral agreements, collateral is obtained, if deemed necessary, based on the results of management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral varies, but may include cash, investment securities, accounts receivable, equipment or real estate.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments utilized by the Corporation are negotiated over-the-counter and primarily include swaps, caps and floors, forward contracts and options, each of which may relate to interest rates, energy commodity prices or foreign currency exchange rates. Swaps are agreements in which two parties periodically exchange cash payments based on specified indices applied to a specified notional amount until a stated maturity. Caps and floors are agreements which entitle the buyer to receive cash payments based on the difference between a specified reference rate or price and an agreed strike rate or price, applied to a specified notional amount until a stated maturity. Forward contracts are over-the-counter agreements to buy or sell an asset at a specified future date and price. Options are similar to forward contracts except the purchaser has the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the asset during a specified period or at a specified future date.

Over-the-counter contracts are tailored to meet the needs of the counterparties involved and, therefore, contain a greater degree of credit risk and liquidity risk than exchange-traded contracts, which have standardized terms and readily available price information. The Corporation reduces exposure to market and liquidity risks from over-the-counter derivative instruments entered into for risk management purposes, and transactions entered into to mitigate the market risk associated with customer-initiated transactions, by taking offsetting positions with investment grade domestic and foreign financial institutions and subjecting counterparties to credit approvals, limits and collateral monitoring procedures similar to those used in making other extensions of credit. In addition, certain derivative contracts executed bilaterally with a dealer counterparty in the over-the-counter market are cleared through a clearinghouse, whereby the clearinghouse becomes the counterparty to the transaction.

The following table presents the composition of the Corporation’s derivative instruments held or issued for risk management purposes or in connection with customer-initiated and other activities at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The table excludes a derivative related to the Corporation's 2008 sale of its remaining ownership of Visa shares.

Risk Management

The Corporation's derivative instruments used for managing interest rate risk include cash flow hedging strategies that convert variable-rate loans to fixed rates and fair value hedging strategies that convert fixed-rate medium- and long-term debt to variable rates. Interest and fees on loans included $22 million and $24 million of cash flow hedge income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The following table details the effects of fair value hedging on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

			Interest on Medium- and Long-Term Debt

(a)Included $30 million and $145 million of cumulative hedging adjustments at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which included $4 million and $5 million, respectively, of hedging adjustment on a discontinued hedging relationship.

(b)Floating rates paid on receive fixed swaps designated as fair value hedges are based on one-month LIBOR rates in effect at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Derivative contracts with maturity dates beyond the LIBOR cessation date will fall back to the daily SOFR with a spread adjustment.

Customer-Initiated and Other

The Corporation enters into derivative transactions at the request of customers and generally takes offsetting positions with dealer counterparties to mitigate the inherent market risk. Income primarily results from the spread between the customer derivative and the offsetting dealer position.

For customer-initiated foreign exchange contracts where offsetting positions have not been taken, the Corporation manages the remaining inherent market risk through individual foreign currency position limits and aggregate value-at-risk limits. These limits are established annually and reviewed quarterly. For those customer-initiated derivative contracts which

were not offset or where the Corporation holds a position within the limits described above, the Corporation recognized no net gains and losses in other noninterest income on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Fair values of customer-initiated and other derivative instruments represent the net unrealized gains or losses on such contracts and are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value are recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The net gains recognized in income on customer-initiated derivative instruments, net of the impact of offsetting positions included in derivative income, were as follows:

			Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)			2022						2021
Interest rate contracts			$	9					$	15
Energy contracts			2						4
Foreign exchange contracts			11						11
Total			$	22					$	30

Credit-Related Financial Instruments

The Corporation issues off-balance sheet financial instruments in connection with commercial and consumer lending activities. The Corporation’s credit risk associated with these instruments is represented by the contractual amounts indicated in the following table.

(in millions)			March 31, 2022						December 31, 2021
Unused commitments to extend credit:
Commercial and other			$	26,471					$	25,910
Bankcard, revolving credit and home equity loan commitments			3,614						3,554
Total unused commitments to extend credit			$	30,085					$	29,464
Standby letters of credit			$	3,391					$	3,378
Commercial letters of credit			41						44

The Corporation maintains an allowance to cover current expected credit losses inherent in lending-related commitments, including unused commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees. The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $45 million and $30 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Unused Commitments to Extend Credit

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer, provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total contractual amount of commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Corporation. Commercial and other unused commitments are primarily variable rate commitments. The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments included $40 million at March 31, 2022 and $27 million at December 31, 2021 for expected credit losses inherent in the Corporation’s unused commitments to extend credit.

Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit

Standby letters of credit represent conditional obligations of the Corporation which guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. Commercial letters of credit are issued to finance foreign or domestic trade transactions. These contracts expire in decreasing amounts through the year 2028. The Corporation may enter into participation arrangements with third parties that effectively reduce the maximum amount of future payments which may be required under standby and commercial letters of credit. These risk participations covered $96 million and $98 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, of the $3.4 billion of standby and commercial letters of credit outstanding at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The carrying value of the Corporation’s standby and commercial letters of credit, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $34 million at March 31, 2022, including $29 million in deferred fees and $5 million in the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments. At December 31, 2021, the comparable amounts were $32 million, $29 million and $3 million, respectively.

The following table presents a summary of criticized standby and commercial letters of credit at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Corporation's criticized list is generally consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful categories defined by regulatory authorities. The Corporation manages credit risk through underwriting, periodically reviewing and approving its credit exposures using Board committee approved credit policies and guidelines.

(dollar amounts in millions)			March 31, 2022						December 31, 2021
Total criticized standby and commercial letters of credit			$	34					$	37
As a percentage of total outstanding standby and commercial letters of credit			1.0		%				1.1		%

Other Credit-Related Financial Instruments

The Corporation enters into credit risk participation agreements, under which the Corporation assumes credit exposure associated with a borrower’s performance related to certain interest rate derivative contracts. The Corporation is not a party to the interest rate derivative contracts and only enters into these credit risk participation agreements in instances in which the Corporation is also a party to the related loan participation agreements for such borrowers. The Corporation manages its credit risk on the credit risk participation agreements by monitoring the creditworthiness of the borrowers, which is based on the normal credit review process as if the Corporation had entered into the derivative instruments directly with the borrower. The notional amount of such credit risk participation agreements reflects the pro-rata share of the derivative instrument, consistent with its share of the related participated loan. The total notional amount of the credit risk participation agreements was approximately $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and the fair value was insignificant at March 31, 2022 and $1 million at December 31, 2021. The maximum estimated exposure to these agreements, as measured by projecting a maximum value of the guaranteed derivative instruments, assuming 100 percent default by all obligors on the maximum values, was $4 million and $30 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In the event of default, the lead bank has the ability to liquidate the assets of the borrower, in which case the lead bank would be required to return a percentage of the recouped assets to the participating banks. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average remaining maturity of outstanding credit risk participation agreements was 4.5 years.

In 2008, the Corporation sold its remaining ownership of Visa Class B shares and entered into a derivative contract. Under the terms of the derivative contract, the Corporation will compensate the counterparty primarily for dilutive adjustments made to the conversion factor of the Visa Class B shares to Class A shares based on the ultimate outcome of litigation involving Visa. Conversely, the Corporation will be compensated by the counterparty for any increase in the conversion factor from anti-dilutive adjustments. The notional amount of the derivative contract was equivalent to approximately 780,000 Visa Class B Shares. The fair value of the derivative liability, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $12 million and $13 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

NOTE 6 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (VIEs)

The Corporation evaluates its interest in certain entities to determine if these entities meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Corporation is the primary beneficiary and should consolidate the entity based on the variable interests it held both at inception and when there is a change in circumstances that requires a reconsideration.

The Corporation holds ownership interests in funds in the form of limited partnerships or limited liability companies (LLCs) investing in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC). The Corporation also directly invests in limited partnerships and LLCs which invest in community development projects, which generate similar tax credits to investors (other tax credit entities). As an investor, the Corporation obtains income tax credits and deductions from the operating losses of these tax credit entities. These tax credit entities meet the definition of a VIE; however, the Corporation is not the primary beneficiary of the entities, as the general partner or the managing member has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entities.

The Corporation accounts for its interests in LIHTC entities using the proportional amortization method. Ownership interests in other tax credit entities are accounted for under either the cost or equity method. Exposure to loss as a result of the Corporation's involvement in LIHTC entities and other tax credit entities at March 31, 2022 was limited to $434 million and $19 million, respectively.

Investment balances, including all legally binding commitments to fund future investments, are included in accrued income and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A liability is recognized in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all legally binding unfunded commitments to fund tax credit entities ($155 million at March 31, 2022). Amortization and other write-downs of LIHTC investments are presented on a net basis as a component of the provision for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, while amortization and write-downs of

other tax credit investments are recorded in other noninterest income. The income tax credits and deductions are recorded as a reduction of income tax expense and a reduction of federal income taxes payable.

The Corporation provided no financial or other support that was not contractually required to any of the above VIEs during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The following table summarizes the impact of these tax credit entities on the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

(a)The fixed interest rates on these notes have been swapped to a variable rate and designated in a hedging relationship. Accordingly, carrying value has been adjusted to reflect the change in the fair value of the debt as a result of changes in the benchmark rate.

    Subordinated notes with remaining maturities greater than one year qualify as Tier 2 capital.

    Comerica Bank (the Bank), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, is a member of the FHLB, which provides short-and long-term funding to its members through advances collateralized by real estate-related assets. Borrowing capacity is contingent on the amount of collateral available to be pledged to the FHLB. At March 31, 2022, $17.8 billion of real estate-related loans and $1.4 billion of investment securities were pledged to the FHLB as collateral with capacity for potential future borrowings of approximately $9.9 billion.

    Unamortized debt issuance costs deducted from the carrying amount of medium- and long-term debt totaled $7 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES AND TAX-RELATED ITEMS

Net unrecognized tax benefits were $18 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Corporation anticipates that it is reasonably possible that final settlement of federal and state tax issues will result in a change in net unrecognized tax benefits of $5 million within the next twelve months. Included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was a liability for tax-related interest and penalties of $6 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Net deferred tax assets were $305 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $9 million at December 31, 2021. The $296 million increase resulted primarily from increases to deferred tax assets related to net unrealized losses on investment securities available-for-sale and hedging gains and losses. Included in deferred tax assets at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $3 million of state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and $3 million of federal foreign tax carryforwards. State net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2022 and 2031 and federal foreign tax credit carryforwards expire between 2028 and 2030. The Corporation believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit from federal foreign tax credits and certain state NOL carryforwards will not be realized and, accordingly, maintains a federal valuation allowance of $3 million and a state valuation allowance of $2 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The determination regarding valuation allowance was based on evidence of loss carryback capacity, projected future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences to absorb the deferred tax assets and assumptions made regarding future events.

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into certain transactions that have tax consequences. From time to time, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or other tax jurisdictions may review and/or challenge specific interpretive tax

positions taken by the Corporation with respect to those transactions. The Corporation believes its tax returns were filed based upon applicable statutes, regulations and case law in effect at the time of the transactions. The IRS or other tax jurisdictions, an administrative authority or a court, if presented with the transactions, could disagree with the Corporation’s interpretation of the tax law.

Based on current knowledge and probability assessment of various potential outcomes, the Corporation believes that current tax reserves are adequate, and the amount of any potential incremental liability arising is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Probabilities and outcomes are reviewed as events unfold, and adjustments to the reserves are made when necessary.

NOTE 12 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Matters

The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to various other pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations. The Corporation believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it in its other currently outstanding legal proceedings and, with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management’s judgment as to what is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders. Settlement may result from the Corporation's determination that it may be more prudent financially to settle, rather than litigate, and should not be regarded as an admission of liability.

Further, from time to time, the Corporation is also subject to examinations, inquiries and investigations by regulatory authorities in areas including, but not limited to, compliance, risk management and consumer protection, which could lead to administrative or legal proceedings or settlements. For example, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) is investigating certain of the Corporation's practices, and the Corporation has responded and continues to respond to the CFPB. We are unable to predict the outcome of these discussions at this time. Remedies in these proceedings or settlements may include fines, penalties, restitution or alterations in the Corporation's business practices and may result in increased operating expenses or decreased revenues.

On at least a quarterly basis, the Corporation assesses its potential liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings and regulatory matters utilizing the latest information available. On a case-by-case basis, accruals are established for those legal claims and regulatory matters for which it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving these claims and regulatory matters may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued. Based on current knowledge, and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes current accruals are adequate, and the amount of any incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

For matters where a loss is not probable, the Corporation has not established an accrual. The Corporation believes the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of established accruals, for all legal proceedings and regulatory matters in which it is involved is from zero to approximately $49 million at March 31, 2022. This estimated aggregate range of reasonably possible losses is based upon currently available information for those legal proceedings and regulatory matters in which the Corporation is involved, taking into account the Corporation’s best estimate of such losses for those legal cases and regulatory matters for which such estimate can be made. For certain legal cases and regulatory matters, the Corporation does not believe that an estimate can currently be made. The Corporation’s estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the legal proceedings and regulatory matters (including the fact many are currently in preliminary stages), the existence in certain legal proceedings of multiple defendants (including the Corporation) whose share of liability has yet to be determined, the numerous yet-unresolved issues in many of the legal proceedings and regulatory matters (including issues regarding class certification and the scope of many of the claims) and the attendant uncertainty of the various potential outcomes of such legal proceedings and regulatory matters. Accordingly, the Corporation’s estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses may be more or less than the current estimate.

In the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Corporation's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

For information regarding income tax contingencies, refer to Note 11.

NOTE 13 - STRATEGIC LINES OF BUSINESS

The Corporation has strategically aligned its operations into three major business segments: the Commercial Bank, the Retail Bank and Wealth Management. These business segments are differentiated based on the type of customer and the related products and services provided. In addition to the three major business segments, the Finance Division is also reported as a segment. Business segment results are produced by the Corporation’s internal management accounting system. This system measures financial results based on the internal business unit structure of the Corporation. The performance of the business segments is not comparable with the Corporation's consolidated results and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities. The management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each business segment using certain methodologies, which are regularly reviewed and refined. From time to time, the Corporation may make reclassifications among the segments to more appropriately reflect management's current view of the segments, and methodologies may be modified as the management accounting system is enhanced and changes occur in the organizational structure and/or product lines. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on business unit structure and methodologies in effect at March 31, 2022.

The following discussion provides information about the activities of each business segment. A discussion of the financial results and the factors impacting performance can be found in "Business Segments" in the "Strategic Lines of Business" section of the financial review.

The Commercial Bank meets the needs of small and middle market businesses, multinational corporations and governmental entities by offering various products and services including commercial loans and lines of credit, deposits, cash management, capital market products, international trade finance, letters of credit, foreign exchange management services and loan syndication services.

The Retail Bank includes a full range of personal financial services, consisting of consumer lending, consumer deposit gathering and mortgage loan origination. This business segment offers a variety of consumer products including deposit accounts, installment loans, credit cards, student loans, home equity lines of credit and residential mortgage loans. In addition, this business segment offers a subset of commercial products and services to micro-businesses whose primary contact is through the branch network.

Wealth Management offers products and services consisting of fiduciary services, private banking, retirement services, investment management and advisory services, investment banking and brokerage services. This business segment also offers the sale of annuity products, as well as life, disability and long-term care insurance products.

The Finance segment includes the Corporation’s securities portfolio and asset and liability management activities. This segment is responsible for managing the Corporation’s funding, liquidity and capital needs, performing interest sensitivity analysis and executing various strategies to manage the Corporation’s exposure to liquidity, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk.

The Other category includes the income and expense impact of equity and cash, tax benefits not assigned to specific business segments, charges of an unusual or infrequent nature that are not reflective of the normal operations of the business segments and miscellaneous other expenses of a corporate nature.

For further information on the methodologies which form the basis for these results refer to Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation's 2021 Annual Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In accordance with Item 303(c) of Regulation S-K, the Corporation is providing a comparison of the quarter ended March 31, 2022 against the preceding sequential quarter. The Corporation believes providing a sequential discussion of its results of operations provides more relevant information for investors and stakeholders to understand and analyze the business.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2021

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $189 million, compared to $228 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The $39 million decrease in net income was driven by lower noninterest income and higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest expenses. The provision for income taxes decreased $12 million to $49 million due to lower pre-tax income. Net income per diluted common share was $1.37 and $1.66 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, a decrease of 0.29 per diluted common share.

Net interest income was $456 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $5 million compared to $461 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in net interest income was driven by a decline in PPP income, as the majority of PPP loans have been forgiven, and two fewer days in the three months ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by growth in investment securities and non-PPP loans. Net interest margin was 2.19 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 15 basis points from 2.04 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2021 primarily driven by a $7.6 billion decrease in lower-yielding deposits with the Federal Reserve.

Average earning assets decreased $6.3 billion, due to a decrease of $7.5 billion in interest-bearing deposits with banks (primarily deposits with the Federal Reserve), partially offset by increases of $721 million in investment securities and $448 million in loans. A decrease in interest-bearing deposits drove a $2.9 billion decrease in average interest-bearing funding sources.

    The provision for credit losses, which includes the provision for loan losses and the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments, was a benefit of $11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a benefit of $25 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, continuing to reflect strong credit quality as well as sustained favorable economic forecasts and continued low levels of charge-offs. Net loan charge-offs increased $12 million to $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net recoveries of $4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, driven by a decrease in recoveries. Energy net charge-offs totaled $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which consisted of a $6 million charge-off related to legacy energy services. General Middle Market net charge-offs totaled $5 million, compared to $12 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, while Corporate Banking net recoveries totaled $2 million, compared to net charge-offs of $3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments increased $15 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

    An analysis of the allowance for credit losses and a summary of nonperforming assets are presented under the "Credit Risk" subheading in the "Risk Management" section of this financial review.

(a)The table below provides further details on certain categories included in other noninterest income.

    Noninterest income decreased $45 million to $244 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, reflecting decreases in commercial lending fees and derivative income. The decrease in commercial lending fees was driven by elevated syndication agent activity in fourth quarter 2021, while the decrease in derivative income was largely due to an increase in the credit valuation adjustment as a result of market-driven higher energy-related instruments. Noninterest income was also impacted by a decrease in other noninterest income, as detailed below, driven by lower principal investing and warrant-related income mostly due to elevated gains on monetization in fourth quarter 2021, and deferred compensation asset returns (offset in noninterest expenses).

    The following table presents certain categories included in other noninterest income on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

(a)    Includes changes in value of shares obtained through monetization of warrants, previously reported in securities trading income.

(b)    Compensation deferred by the Corporation's officers and directors is invested based on investment selections of the officers and directors. Income earned on these assets is reported in other noninterest income and the offsetting change in deferred compensation plan liabilities is reported in salaries and benefits expense.

Noninterest Expenses

Other noninterest expenses			19						19
Total noninterest expenses			$	473					$	486

Noninterest expenses decreased $13 million to $473 million, primarily reflecting decreases in occupancy expense, outside processing fee expense, legal fees, salaries and benefits expense and advertising expense, partially offset by increases in operational losses and FDIC insurance expense. Salaries and benefits expense was impacted by significant seasonal items including increases in annual stock-based compensation and payroll taxes, partly offset by lower staff insurance expense, incentive compensation and the impact of two fewer days in the quarter. Lower deferred compensation expense (offset in other noninterest income) also impacted the decrease in noninterest expenses. The first quarter of 2022 included $6 million of expenses for severance costs (reported in salaries and benefits expense) as well as consulting fees and asset impairments (reported in other noninterest expenses) for certain initiatives related to transformation of the retail banking delivery model, alignment of corporate facilities and optimization of technology platforms.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Net income decreased $161 million to $189 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $350 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was driven by a $171 million increase in the provision for credit losses resulting from an elevated benefit recorded in first quarter 2021 as the U.S. economy recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. Net income was also impacted by lower noninterest income and higher noninterest expenses, partially offset by an increase in net interest income. The provision for income taxes decreased $49 million from $98 million, driven by lower pre-tax income. Net income per diluted common share decreased $1.06 to $1.37 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $2.43 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Net interest income was $456 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $13 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in net interest income reflected a higher volume of earning assets as well as a residual value adjustment in the lease portfolio recorded in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by the net impact of PPP loans and reinvestment in lower-yielding securities. Net interest margin was 2.19 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of 10 basis points compared to 2.29 percent for the comparable period in 2021. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily driven by a $4.8 billion increase in lower-yielding deposits with the Federal Reserve.

Average earning assets increased $5.0 billion, due to increases of $4.9 billion and $2.4 billion in interest-bearing deposits with banks and investment securities, respectively, partially offset by a $2.3 billion decrease in loans. Average interest-bearing funding sources increased $809 million, reflecting a $1.7 billion increase in interest-bearing deposits, which was offset by an $842 million decrease in medium- and long-term debt.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was a benefit of $11 million compared to a benefit of $182 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in provision for credit losses primarily reflected an elevated benefit recorded in first quarter 2021 as the U.S. economy began to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Net loan charge-offs increased $5 million to $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, largely driven by increases of $7 million in Energy and $4 million in general Middle Market, partially offset by a decrease of $7 million in Corporate Banking.

An analysis of the allowance for credit losses and nonperforming assets is presented under the "Credit Risk" subheading in the "Risk Management" section of this financial review.

(a)The table below provides further details on certain categories included in other noninterest income.

    Noninterest income decreased $26 million to $244 million, driven by decreases in principal investing and warrant-related income, deferred compensation asset returns (offset in noninterest expense) and derivative income, partially offset by higher fiduciary income and commercial lending fees. The decreases in principal investing and warrant-related income, derivative income and deferred compensation asset returns were largely due to unfavorable market-driven valuation adjustments, while increased hedging activity from higher energy prices partially offset the decline in derivative income. Increases in fiduciary income and commercial lending fees were driven by higher personal trust fees and elevated syndication agent activity, respectively.

Noninterest expenses increased $26 million to $473 million, due to increases in other noninterest expenses and salaries and benefits expense, as well as smaller increases in various categories. The increase in salaries and benefits expense was driven by higher accrued expenses for performance-related compensation, including stock-based compensation, and the impact of annual merit increases, partially offset by lower deferred compensation expense (offset in other noninterest income). The increase in other noninterest expenses was primarily due to higher operational losses and an increase in consulting fees.

STRATEGIC LINES OF BUSINESS

The Corporation has strategically aligned its operations into three major business segments: the Commercial Bank, the Retail Bank and Wealth Management. These business segments are differentiated based on the type of customer and the related products and services provided. In addition to the three major business segments, the Finance Division is also reported as a segment. The Other category includes items not directly associated with the business segments or the Finance segment. The performance of the business segments is not comparable with the Corporation's consolidated results and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities. Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements describes the business activities of each business segment and presents financial results of the business segments for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Corporation's management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each segment using certain methodologies, which are regularly reviewed and refined. These methodologies may be modified as the management accounting system is enhanced and changes occur in the organizational structure and/or product lines. Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation's 2021 Annual Report describes the Corporation's segment reporting methodology.

Net interest income for each segment reflects the interest income generated by earning assets less interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities plus the net impact from associated internal funds transfer pricing (FTP). The FTP methodology allocates credits to each business segment for deposits and other funds provided as well as charges for loans and other assets being funded. FTP crediting rates on deposits and other funds provided reflect the long-term value of deposits and other funding sources based on their implied maturities. Due to the longer-term nature of implied maturities, FTP crediting rates are generally less volatile than changes in interest rates observed in the market. FTP charge rates for funding loans and other assets reflect a matched cost of funds based on the pricing and duration characteristics of the assets. As a result of applying matched funding, interest revenue for each segment resulting from loans and other assets is generally not impacted by changes in interest rates. Therefore, net interest income for each segment primarily reflects the volume of loans and other earning assets at the spread over the matched cost of funds, as well as the volume of deposits at the associated FTP crediting rates. Generally, in periods of rising interest rates, FTP charge rates for funding loans and FTP crediting rates on deposits will increase, with FTP crediting rates for deposits typically repricing at a slower pace than FTP charge rates for funding loans.

Business Segments

The following sections present a summary of the performance of each of the Corporation's business segments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

First Quarter 2022 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2021

Period-End Balances

Total assets decreased $5.5 billion to $89.2 billion, driven by a decrease of $9.4 billion in interest-bearing deposits with banks (primarily deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank) which declined from the elevated level seen at December 31, 2021 and was partially offset by increases of $1.8 billion in investment securities, as excess liquidity was deployed into investment securities to reduce asset sensitivity as rates increase, and $1.6 billion in accrued income and other assets, primarily from increases in the receivable positions related to customer energy derivatives. Loans increased by $278 million, including increases of $320 million in Corporate Banking, $303 million in Equity Fund Services, $269 million in general Middle Market and $253 million in National Dealer Services, partially offset by a decline of $822 million in Mortgage Banker Finance.

Total liabilities decreased $4.6 billion to $82.1 billion, primarily reflecting decreases of $3.1 billion and $1.6 billion in noninterest-bearing deposits and interest-bearing deposits, respectively. The decline in deposits reflected decreases in nearly every business line as customers utilized balances to fund business activities. The decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits also included a $1.1 billion decrease in National Card Services primarily due to the timing of deposits by the U.S. Treasury, which typically fund a government card program on the first day of each month. The January funding was received a day early in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to the New Year's holiday, leading to a timing difference between periods. Total shareholders' equity decreased $861 million, primarily due to the net impact of valuation changes in investment securities.

Average Balances

Total assets decreased $5.5 billion to $91.2 billion driven by a decrease of $7.5 billion in interest-bearing deposits with banks, which was partially offset by increases of $721 million in investment securities and a $448 million increase in loans. The following table provides information about the change in the Corporation's average loan portfolio by loan type.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The following updated information should be read in conjunction with the "Risk Management" section on pages F-17 through F-33 in the Corporation's 2021 Annual Report.

Credit Risk

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses includes both the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments. As a percentage of total loans, the allowance for credit losses was 1.21 percent at March 31, 2022, compared to 1.26 percent at December 31, 2021. The allowance for credit losses covered 2.2 times and 2.3 times total nonperforming loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses decreased $19 million from $618 million at December 31, 2021 to $599 million at March 31, 2022, primarily reflecting strong credit quality and a sustained recovery by the U.S. economy from the COVID-19 pandemic. Strong business and consumer spending, as well as robust labor markets, supported growth in the broader U.S. economy. However, there continues to be considerable uncertainty related to the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, supply chain constraints, future monetary and fiscal policy actions and inflationary pressures.

These factors shaped the 2-year reasonable and supportable forecasts used by the Corporation in its CECL estimate at March 31, 2022. The U.S. economy is expected to continue to grow at a moderate pace through the first half of 2022 before normalizing into historical growth rates. Forecasts for other key economic variables, including the unemployment rate, are generally in line with GDP projections, while oil prices are expected to decrease throughout the forecast period. Interest rates are expected to increase, reflecting the Federal Reserve's expectations, while corporate bond spreads reflect normalized default risk. The following table summarizes select economic variables representative of the economic forecasts used to develop the allowance for credit losses estimate at March 31, 2022.

Economic Variable			Base Forecast
Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth			Growth near 5 percent in second quarter 2022 normalizes to under 3.5 percent for remainder of forecast period.
Unemployment rate			Current levels decrease to below 3.5 percent by fourth quarter 2022 with minimal subsequent movement.
Corporate BBB bond to 10-year Treasury bond spreads			Remain stable at below 2 percent.
Oil Prices			Prices steadily decline from $100 per barrel in second quarter 2022 to below $62 per barrel by the end of the forecast period.

Due to the high level of uncertainty regarding significant assumptions, the Corporation evaluated a range of economic scenarios, including more benign and more severe economic forecasts. In the more severe scenario, real GDP is expected to contract through fourth quarter 2022, gradually improving to a growth rate of 4.1 percent by the end of the forecast period. Other key economic variables follow a similar pattern of short-term contractions followed by a gradual recovery. Selecting the more severe forecast would result in an increase in the quantitative calculation of allowance for credit losses by approximately $120 million as of March 31, 2022. However, factoring in model overlays and qualitative adjustments could result in a materially different estimate under a more severe scenario.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimates of current expected credit losses in the Corporation’s loan portfolio. Pools of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated, while loans that no longer share risk characteristics with loan pools are evaluated individually.

Collective loss estimates are determined by applying reserve factors, designed to estimate current expected credit losses, to amortized cost balances over the remaining contractual life of the collectively evaluated portfolio. Loans with similar risk characteristics are aggregated into homogeneous pools. The allowance for loan losses also includes qualitative adjustments to bring the allowance to the level management believes is appropriate based on factors that have not otherwise been fully accounted for, including adjustments for foresight risk, input imprecisions and model imprecision. Credit losses for loans that no longer share risk characteristics with the loan pools are estimated on an individual basis. Individual credit loss estimates are typically performed for nonaccrual loans and modified loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) and are based on one of several methods, including the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, observable market value of similar debt or the present value of expected cash flows.    

Allowance for Credit Losses on Lending-Related Commitments

    The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments estimates current expected credit losses on collective pools of letters of credit and unused commitments to extend credit based on reserve factors, determined in a manner similar to business loans, multiplied by a probability of draw estimate based on historical experience and credit risk, applied to commitment amounts. The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments increased $15 million to $45 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $30 million at December 31, 2021.

The following table presents metrics of the allowance for credit losses and nonperforming loans.

			March 31, 2022						December 31, 2021
Allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans			1.21		%				1.26		%
Allowance for credit losses as a multiple of total nonaccrual loans			2.2x						2.3x
Allowance for credit losses as a multiple of total nonperforming loans			2.2x						2.3x

For additional information regarding the allowance for credit losses, refer to the "Critical Accounting Estimates" section and pages F-51 through F-52 in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation's 2021 Annual Report.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include loans on nonaccrual status, TDRs which have been renegotiated to less than the original contractual rates (reduced-rate loans) and foreclosed assets. TDRs include performing and nonperforming loans, with nonperforming TDRs on either nonaccrual or reduced-rate status. In accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act, the Corporation elected not to consider qualifying COVID-19-related modifications, primarily deferrals, as TDRs and did not designate such loans as past due or nonaccrual at December 31, 2021. The temporary relief provided under the CARES Act applied to modifications made from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic through December 31, 2021. For additional information regarding the Corporation's accounting policies for the CARES Act, refer to page F-50 in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation's 2021 Annual Report.

Table of Contents

Nonperforming assets increased $5 million to $274 million at March 31, 2022, from $269 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily due to an increase of $22 million in nonaccrual retail loans, as temporary legislative relief for COVID-19-related deferrals ended on December 31, 2021, partially offset by a $17 million decrease in nonaccrual business loans. Nonperforming loans were 0.55 percent of total loans at March 31, 2022, compared to 0.54 percent at December 31, 2021. For further information regarding the composition of nonaccrual loans, refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest generally represent loans that are well-collateralized and in the process of collection. Loans past due 90 days or more decreased $1 million to $26 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $27 million at December 31, 2021. Loans past due 30-89 days increased $51 million to $204 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $153 million at December 31, 2021. Loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest as a percentage of total loans were 0.46 percent and 0.36 percent at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. An aging analysis of loans included in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements provides further information about the balances comprising past due loans.

The following table presents a summary of total criticized loans. The Corporation's criticized list is consistent with the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful categories defined by regulatory authorities. Criticized loans with balances of $2 million or more on nonaccrual status or loans with balances of $1 million or more whose terms have been modified in a TDR are individually subjected to quarterly credit quality reviews, and the Corporation may establish specific allowances for such loans. A table of loans by credit quality indicator included in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements provides further information about the balances comprising total criticized loans.

(dollar amounts in millions)			March 31, 2022						December 31, 2021
Total criticized loans			$	1,647					$	1,573
As a percentage of total loans			3.3		%				3.2		%

The $74 million increase in criticized loans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 included increases of $99 million in general Middle Market and $38 million in Environmental Services, partially offset by a $58 million decrease in Entertainment.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk may exist when a number of borrowers are engaged in similar activities, or activities in the same geographic region, and have similar economic characteristics that would cause them to be similarly impacted by changes in economic or other conditions. The Corporation has concentrations of credit risk with the commercial real estate and automotive industries. All other industry concentrations, as defined by management, individually represented less than 10 percent of total loans at March 31, 2022.

Commercial Real Estate Lending

At March 31, 2022, the Corporation's commercial real estate portfolio represented 29 percent of total loans. The following table summarizes the Corporation's commercial real estate loan portfolio by loan category.

			March 31, 2022																		December 31, 2021
(in millions)			Commercial Real Estate business line (a)						Other (b)						Total						Commercial Real Estate business line (a)						Other (b)						Total

Total commercial real estate			$	5,554					$	8,739					$	14,293					$	5,729					$	8,474					$	14,203

(a)Primarily loans to real estate developers.

(b)Primarily loans secured by owner-occupied real estate.

The Corporation limits risk inherent in its commercial real estate lending activities by monitoring borrowers directly involved in the commercial real estate markets and adhering to conservative policies on loan-to-value ratios for such loans. Commercial real estate loans, consisting of real estate construction and commercial mortgage loans, totaled $14.3 billion at March 31, 2022. Of the total, $5.6 billion, or 39 percent, were to borrowers in the Commercial Real Estate business line, which includes loans to real estate developers, a decrease of $175 million compared to December 31, 2021. Commercial real estate loans in other business lines totaled $8.7 billion, or 61 percent, at March 31, 2022, an increase of $265 million compared to December 31, 2021. These loans consisted primarily of owner-occupied commercial mortgages, which bear credit characteristics similar to non-commercial real estate business loans. Generally, loans previously reported as real estate construction are classified as commercial mortgage loans upon receipt of a certificate of occupancy.

The real estate construction loan portfolio primarily contains loans made to long-tenured customers with satisfactory completion experience. There were no criticized real estate construction loans in the Commercial Real Estate business line at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In other business lines, criticized real estate construction loans totaled $13 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $35 million at December 31, 2021. Real estate construction loan charge-offs were $1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, compared to zero for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Commercial mortgage loans are loans where the primary collateral is a lien on any real property and are primarily loans secured by owner-occupied real estate. Real property is generally considered primary collateral if the value of that collateral represents more than 50 percent of the commitment at loan approval. Loans in the commercial mortgage portfolio generally mature within three to five years. Criticized commercial mortgage loans in the Commercial Real Estate business line totaled $29 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In other business lines, $222 million and $219 million of commercial mortgage loans were criticized at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. There were no commercial mortgage loan net charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Automotive Lending - Dealer

The following table presents a summary of dealer loans.

Other			3,659												3,481
Total dealer			$	4,402					8.9		%				$	4,162					8.4		%

Substantially all dealer loans are in the National Dealer Services business line and primarily include floor plan financing and other loans to automotive dealerships. Floor plan loans, included in commercial loans in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $743 million at March 31, 2022, an increase of $62 million compared to $681 million at December 31, 2021, as an imbalance in supply and demand impacted by a shortage in microchips used in automotive production continues to depress floor plan loan balances. Other loans to automotive dealers in the National Dealer Services business line totaled $3.7 billion, including $2.1 billion of owner-occupied commercial real estate mortgage loans at March 31, 2022 and $2.0 billion at December 31, 2021, respectively.

There were no nonaccrual dealer loans at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Additionally, there were no net charge-offs of dealer loans during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the three months ended December 31, 2021, or the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Automotive Lending- Production

The following table presents a summary of loans to borrowers involved with automotive production.

Total production			$	1,144					2.3		%				$	1,112					2.3		%

(a)Excludes PPP loans.

Loans to borrowers involved with automotive production, primarily Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, totaled $1.1 billion at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. These borrowers have faced, and could face in the future, financial difficulties due to disruptions in auto production as well as their supply chains and logistics operations. As such, management continues to monitor this portfolio.

There were no nonaccrual loans to borrowers involved with automotive production at both March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. Criticized automotive production loans were 19 percent of the automotive production portfolio at March 31, 2022, compared to 15 percent at December 31, 2021. There were no automotive production loan net charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the three months ended December 31, 2021, or the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Residential real estate loans, which consist of traditional residential mortgages and home equity loans and lines of credit, totaled $3.3 billion at March 31, 2022. The residential real estate portfolio is principally located within the Corporation's primary geographic markets. Substantially all residential real estate loans past due 90 days or more are placed on nonaccrual status, and substantially all junior lien home equity loans that are current or less than 90 days past due are placed on nonaccrual status if full collection of the senior position is in doubt. At no later than 180 days past due, such loans are charged off to current appraised values less costs to sell.

Residential mortgages totaled $1.8 billion at March 31, 2022, and were primarily larger, variable-rate mortgages originated and retained for certain private banking relationship customers. Of the $1.8 billion of residential mortgage loans outstanding, $53 million were on nonaccrual status at March 31, 2022, an increase of $17 million as temporary legislative relief for COVID-19-related deferrals ended on December 31, 2021. The home equity portfolio totaled $1.5 billion at March 31, 2022, of which 96 percent was outstanding under primarily variable-rate, interest-only home equity lines of credit, 3 percent were in amortizing status and 1 percent were closed-end home equity loans. Of the $1.5 billion of home equity loans outstanding, $14 million were on nonaccrual status at March 31, 2022. A majority of the home equity portfolio was secured by junior liens at March 31, 2022. 

Energy Lending

The Corporation has a portfolio of Energy loans that are included entirely in commercial loans in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Customers in the Corporation's Energy business line are engaged in three segments of the oil and gas business: exploration and production (E&P), midstream and energy services. E&P generally includes such activities as searching for potential oil and gas fields, drilling exploratory wells and operating active wells. Commitments to E&P borrowers are generally subject to semi-annual borrowing base re-determinations based on a variety of factors including updated prices (reflecting market and competitive conditions), energy reserve levels and the impact of hedging. The midstream sector is generally involved in the transportation, storage and marketing of crude and/or refined oil and gas products. The Corporation's legacy energy services customers provide products and services primarily to the E&P segment.

The following table summarizes information about loans in the Corporation's Energy business line.

Leveraged Loans

Certain loans in the Corporation's commercial portfolio are considered leveraged transactions. These loans are typically used for mergers, acquisitions, business recapitalizations, refinancing and equity buyouts. To help mitigate the risk associated with these loans, the Corporation focuses on middle market companies with highly capable management teams, strong sponsors and solid track records of financial performance. Industries prone to cyclical downturns and acquisitions with a high degree of integration risk are generally avoided. Other considerations include the sufficiency of collateral, the level of balance sheet leverage and the adequacy of financial covenants. During the underwriting process, cash flows are stress-tested to evaluate the borrowers' abilities to handle economic downturns and an increase in interest rates.

The FDIC defines higher-risk commercial and industrial (HR C&I) loans for assessment purposes as loans generally with leverage of four times total debt to earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA) as well as three times senior debt to EBITDA, excluding certain collateralized loans.

The following table summarizes information about HR C&I loans, which represented 7 percent and 6 percent of total loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Market and Liquidity Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss due to adverse movement in prices, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Corporation does not have sufficient access to funds to maintain its normal operations at all times or does not have the ability to raise or borrow funds at a reasonable cost at all times.

The Asset and Liability Policy Committee (ALCO) of the Corporation establishes and monitors compliance with the policies and risk limits pertaining to market and liquidity risk management activities. ALCO meets regularly to discuss and review market and liquidity risk management strategies and consists of executive and senior management from various areas of the Corporation, including treasury, finance, economics, lending, deposit gathering and risk management. Corporate Treasury mitigates market and liquidity risk under the direction of ALCO through the actions it takes to manage the Corporation's market, liquidity and capital positions.

The Corporation performs monthly liquidity stress testing to evaluate its ability to meet funding needs in hypothetical stressed environments. Such environments cover a series of scenarios, including both idiosyncratic and market-wide in nature, which vary in terms of duration and severity. The evaluation as of March 31, 2022 projected that sufficient sources of liquidity were available under each series of events.

In addition to assessing liquidity risk on a consolidated basis, Corporate Treasury also monitors the parent company's liquidity and has established liquidity coverage requirements for meeting expected obligations without the support of additional dividends from subsidiaries. ALCO's policy on liquidity risk management requires the parent company to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet expected cash obligations over a period of no less than 12 months. The Corporation had liquid assets of $1.3 billion on an unconsolidated basis at March 31, 2022.

Corporate Treasury and the Enterprise Risk Division support ALCO in measuring, monitoring and managing interest rate risk as well as all other market risks. Key activities encompass: (i) providing information and analyses of the Corporation's balance sheet structure and measurement of interest rate and all other market risks; (ii) monitoring and reporting of the Corporation's positions relative to established policy limits and guidelines; (iii) developing and presenting analyses and strategies to adjust risk positions; (iv) reviewing and presenting policies and authorizations for approval; and (v) monitoring of industry trends and analytical tools to be used in the management of interest rate and all other market and liquidity risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Net interest income is the primary source of revenue for the Corporation. Interest rate risk arises in the normal course of business due to differences in the repricing and cash flow characteristics of assets and liabilities, primarily through the

Table of Contents

Corporation's core business activities of extending loans and acquiring deposits. The Corporation's balance sheet is predominantly characterized by floating-rate loans funded by core deposits. Including the impact of interest rate swaps converting floating-rate loans to fixed, the Corporation's loan composition at March 31, 2022 was 61 percent 30-day rate (primarily LIBOR), 22 percent fixed-rate, 12 percent prime and 5 percent comprised of 90-day and greater rates. Additionally, 32 percent of total loans had non-zero interest rate floors protecting against future rate declines. The composition of the loan portfolio creates sensitivity to interest rate movements due to the imbalance between the faster repricing of the floating-rate loan portfolio versus deposit products. In addition, the growth and/or contraction in the Corporation's loans and deposits may lead to changes in sensitivity to interest rate movements in the absence of mitigating actions. Examples of such actions are purchasing fixed-rate investment securities, which provide liquidity to the balance sheet and act to mitigate the inherent interest rate sensitivity, as well as hedging with interest rate swaps and options. Other mitigating factors include interest rate floors on a portion of the loan portfolio. The Corporation actively manages its exposure to interest rate risk with the principal objective of optimizing net interest income and the economic value of equity while operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and maintaining adequate levels of funding and liquidity. Based on the current rising rate environment, the Corporation anticipates it will continue to add fixed-rate investment securities and cash flow hedges over time to manage its interest rate risk by reducing its sensitivity to rate movements and to pull the benefit of future rate increases forward.

Since no single measurement system satisfies all management objectives, a combination of techniques is used to manage interest rate risk. These techniques examine the impact of interest rate risk on net interest income and the economic value of equity under a variety of alternative scenarios, including changes in the level, slope and shape of the yield curve utilizing multiple simulation analyses. Simulation analyses produce only estimates of net interest income as the assumptions used are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to many factors, including, but not limited to, the timing, magnitude and frequency of changes in interest rates, market conditions, regulatory impacts and management strategies.

Sensitivity of Net Interest Income to Changes in Interest Rates

The analysis of the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income under various interest rate scenarios is management's principal risk management technique. Management models a base-case net interest income under an unchanged interest rate environment. Model assumptions in this base case at March 31, 2022 included a modest increase in loan balances, loan spreads held at current levels, a moderate decrease in deposit balances and the securities portfolio held at existing levels. The average balance of the securities portfolio was $17.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 with an average yield of 1.74 percent and average duration of 4.6 years, including $3.6 billion purchased during the first quarter of 2022 with an average yield of 2.51 percent and average duration of 6.2 years. At March 31, 2022, derivative instruments were comprised of interest rate swaps that convert $2.7 billion of fixed-rate medium- and long-term debt to variable rates through fair value hedges and convert $11.2 billion of variable-rate loans to fixed rates through cash flow hedges, which had an average rate and time to maturity of 1.78 percent and 3.2 years, respectively, including $3.5 billion entered into during the first quarter of 2022 at an average rate and duration of 2.02 percent and 5.7 years, respectively.

As of April 25, 2022, $1.5 billion of securities with an average yield of 3.40 percent and average duration of 8.1 years were purchased in the second quarter of 2022. In addition, during this same period, cash flow hedges to convert $2.5 billion of variable-rate loans to fixed rates were entered into which had an average rate and duration of 2.65 percent and 6.3 years, respectively, and varying start dates through October 2022. The second quarter 2022 purchased securities and cash flow hedges are not included in the interest rate sensitivity model assumptions.

Additionally, included in this analysis are $15.8 billion of loans that were subject to an average interest rate floor of 59 basis points at March 31, 2022. This base-case net interest income is then compared against interest rate scenarios in which short-term rates rise or decline 100 basis points (with a floor of zero percent) in a linear, non-parallel fashion from the base case over 12 months, resulting in an average change of 50 basis points over the period while long-term rates increase or decrease to a lesser degree.

Each scenario includes assumptions such as loan growth, investment security prepayment levels, depositor behavior, yield curve changes, loan and deposit pricing, and overall balance sheet mix and growth which are in line with historical patterns. However, in this low-rate environment, depositors have maintained a higher level of liquidity and their historical behavior may be less indicative of future trends. Changes in actual economic activity may result in a materially different interest rate environment as well as a balance sheet structure that is different from the changes management included in its simulation analysis.

Table of Contents

The table below, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, displays the estimated impact on net interest income during the next 12 months by relating the base case scenario results to those from the rising and declining rate scenarios described above.

			Estimated Annual Change
			March 31, 2022												December 31, 2021
(dollar amounts in millions)			Amount						%						Amount						%
Change in Interest Rates:												Change in Interest Rates:
Rising 100 basis points			$	160					8		%	Rising 100 basis points			$	205					12		%
(50 basis points on average)												(50 basis points on average)
Declining to zero percent			(91)						(5)			Declining to zero percent			(46)						(3)

Sensitivity to declining interest rates increased from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 primarily due to the March increase in the federal funds rate, allowing for greater balance sheet repricing before reaching the assumed zero percent lower bound. The rate increase was partially offset by additional cash flow hedges and investment securities added during the first quarter of 2022. Sensitivity to rising interest rates decreased due to cash flow hedges and non-maturity deposit runoff, partially offset by the higher repricing potential of floating-rate loans as they move above their contractual floor rates.

Based on the balance sheet composition and interest rate hedges in existence at March 31, 2022, using management's expectations for loan and deposit activity and assuming a 50 basis point increase in the federal funds rate following the May 2022 Federal Open Market Committee meeting, management expects that net interest income for full-year 2022 will increase by more than 13 percent compared to the prior year, with net interest income for the second quarter 2022 increasing approximately 15 percent compared to the first quarter 2022. Additionally, assuming the implied forward rates as of March 31, 2022, including a federal funds rate of 2.25% to 2.50% by the end of 2022, net interest income for full-year 2022 would be projected to approximate $2.3 billion, a 23 percent increase compared to the prior year. The Corporation believes securities acquired and cash flow hedges entered into during the second quarter would increase these 2022 net interest income estimates.

Sensitivity of Economic Value of Equity to Changes in Interest Rates

In addition to the simulation analysis on net interest income, an economic value of equity analysis provides an alternative view of the interest rate risk position. The economic value of equity is the difference between the estimate of the economic value of the Corporation's financial assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, derived through discounting cash flows based on actual rates at the end of the period, and the estimated economic value after applying the estimated impact of rate movements. The Corporation primarily monitors the percentage change on the base-case economic value of equity. The economic value of equity analysis is based on an immediate parallel 100 basis point shock with a floor of zero percent.

The table below, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, displays the estimated impact on the economic value of equity from the interest rate scenario described above.

			March 31, 2022												December 31, 2021
(dollar amounts in millions)			Amount						%						Amount						%
Change in Interest Rates:												Change in Interest Rates:
Rising 100 basis points			$	610					4		%	Rising 100 basis points			$	1,353					9		%
Declining to zero percent			(424)						(3)			Declining to zero percent			(446)						(3)

The sensitivity of the economic value of equity to rising rates decreased from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 primarily due to additional cash flow hedges, growth in the securities portfolio and deposit runoff, which also led to decreased sensitivity to declining rates (limited by the assumption of a zero percent rate floor.)

LIBOR Transition

On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates LIBOR, publicly announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. Effective March 2021, the FCA confirmed that certain LIBOR tenors will no longer be supported after December 31, 2021 and that the remaining tenors, including those most commonly used by the Corporation, will cease to be supported after June 30, 2023. The Corporation has substantial exposure to LIBOR-based products, including loans and derivatives, and is preparing for a transition from LIBOR toward alternative rates.

As of July 1, 2021, the Corporation was operationally ready to issue new Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)-based cash and derivative products. Additionally, as of September 30, 2021, the Corporation was operationally ready to issue new Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY)-based cash and derivative products. The Corporation ceased originating LIBOR-based products in the fourth quarter of 2021, while communications and learning activities to support customers and colleagues are ongoing. As of March 31, 2022, the Corporation estimates that approximately 45 percent of its LIBOR-based

Table of Contents

commercial loans have maturity dates prior to the cessation of LIBOR. Of the remaining loans with maturity dates beyond the cessation date, the Corporation estimates that 41 percent incorporate fallback language and is confident that it will achieve timely remediation of all other loans. In addition to remediation activity on LIBOR-based loans, the Corporation has enacted the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) protocols related to derivatives. Once events occur that trigger a fallback, the reference rate for the variable leg of the swap will fall back from LIBOR to the ISDA Fallback Rate, which is the daily SOFR plus a spread.

The Corporation's enterprise transition timelines are closely aligned with recommendations from the Alternative Reference Rates Committee for both best practices and recommended objectives. The Corporation will continue to align with industry and regulatory guidelines regarding the cessation of LIBOR as well as monitor market developments for transitioning to alternative reference rates. For a discussion of the various risks facing the Corporation in relation to the transition away from LIBOR, see the market risk discussion within “Item 1A. Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Sources of Liquidity

The Corporation maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately satisfy its financial obligations while taking into account potential commitment draws and deposit run-off that may occur in the normal course of business. The majority of the Corporation's balance sheet is funded by customer deposits. Cash flows from loan repayments, increases in deposit accounts, activity in the securities portfolio and the purchased funds market serve as the Corporation's primary liquidity sources.

The Corporation satisfies incremental liquidity needs with either liquid assets or external funding sources. The Corporation had access to liquid assets of $27.8 billion and $35.3 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which included cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve and the portion of the investment securities portfolio that the Corporation can sell without third-party consent.

In addition, the Corporation may access external funding sources when necessary, which include FHLB advances, federal funds, reverse repurchase agreements, brokered deposits and Corporation-issued bonds. The Corporation maintains a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission from which it may issue debt and equity securities.

Purchased funds decreased to $31 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $50 million at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, the Bank had pledged loans totaling $22.7 billion which provided for up to $19.2 billion of available collateralized borrowing with the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). The Bank is also a member of the FHLB of Dallas, Texas, which provides short- and long-term funding to its members through advances collateralized by real estate-related loans, certain government agency-backed securities and other eligible assets. Actual borrowing capacity is contingent on the amount of collateral pledged to the FHLB. At March 31, 2022, $17.8 billion of real estate-related loans were pledged to the FHLB as collateral providing $9.9 billion for potential future borrowings.

The ability of the Corporation and the Bank to raise funds at competitive rates is impacted by rating agencies' views of the credit quality, liquidity, capital, earnings and other relevant factors related to the Corporation and the Bank. As of March 31, 2022, the three major rating agencies had assigned the following ratings to long-term senior unsecured obligations of the Corporation and the Bank. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the application of accounting policies, the most significant of which are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation's 2021 Annual Report. These policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions, which may prove inaccurate or subject to variations. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions or estimates could have a material impact on the Corporation’s future financial condition and results of operations. At December 31, 2021, the most critical of these estimates related to the allowance for credit losses, fair value measurement, goodwill, pension plan accounting and income taxes. These estimates were reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors and are discussed more fully on pages F-34 through F-37 in the Corporation's 2021 Annual Report. As of the date of this report, there have been no significant changes to the Corporation's critical accounting estimates.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA

The Corporation believes non-GAAP measures are meaningful because they reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators and analysts to evaluate the adequacy of common equity and our performance trends. Tangible common equity is used by the Corporation to measure the quality of capital and the return relative to balance sheet risk.

Common equity tier 1 capital ratio removes preferred stock from the Tier 1 capital ratio as defined by and calculated in conformity with bank regulations. The tangible common equity ratio removes the effect of intangible assets from capital and total assets. Tangible common equity per share of common stock removes the effect of intangible assets from common shareholders' equity per share of common stock.

The following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and regulatory ratios used in this financial review with financial measures defined by GAAP.
