Significant Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Form 10-K"). Updates to our significant accounting policies described below reflect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and the related amendments, commonly referred to as CECL.
Investment Securities
Prior to January 1, 2020, debt securities available-for-sale were measured at fair value and declines in the fair value were reviewed to determine whether the impairment was other-than-temporary. If the decline in fair value was considered temporary, the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security was recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). If we did not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, then an other-than-temporary impairment was considered to have occurred. The cost basis of the security was written down to its estimated fair value and the amount of the write-down was recognized through a charge to earnings. If the amount of the amortized cost basis expected to be recovered increased in a future period, the cost basis of the security was not increased but rather recognized prospectively through interest income.
Effective January 1, 2020, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13, debt securities available-for-sale are measured at fair value and are subject to impairment testing. A security is impaired if the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. When an available-for-sale debt security is considered impaired, the Company must determine if the decline in fair value has resulted from a credit-related loss or other factors and then, (1) recognize an allowance for credit losses by a charge to earnings for the credit-related component (if any) of the decline in fair value, and (2) recognize in other comprehensive income (loss) any non-credit related components of the fair value decline (if any). If the amount of the amortized cost basis expected to be recovered increases in a future period, the valuation reserve would be reduced, but not more than the amount of the current existing reserve for that security.

Purchased Loans with Credit Deterioration
Prior to January 1, 2020, purchased credit impaired loans were accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality.” At the time of acquisition, these loans were recorded at estimated fair value based upon estimated future cash flows with no related allowance for credit losses.
Effective January 1, 2020, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13, an entity records purchased financial assets with credit deterioration ("PCD assets") at the purchase price plus the allowance for credit losses expected at the time of acquisition. This allowance is recognized through a gross-up that increases the amortized cost basis of the asset with no effect on net income. Subsequent changes (favorable and unfavorable) in expected cash flows are recognized immediately in net income by adjusting the related allowance.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment
Effective January 1, 2020, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company replaced the incurred loss accounting model with the current expected credit loss ("CECL") approach for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit. CECL requires the immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the estimated remaining life of the asset. The forward-looking concept of CECL requires loss estimates to consider historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment is the combination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for loan and lease losses is reported as a reduction of the amortized cost basis of loans and leases, while the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is included within "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost basis of loans and leases does not include accrued interest receivable, which is included in "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The "Provision for credit losses" on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings (loss) is a combination of the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded loan commitments.
Under the CECL methodology, expected credit losses reflect losses over the remaining contractual life of an asset, considering the effect of prepayments and available information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about relevant historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances. Thus, the CECL methodology incorporates a broad range of information in developing credit loss estimates. The resulting allowance for loan and lease losses is deducted from the associated amortized cost basis to reflect the net amount expected to be collected. Subsequent changes in this estimate are recorded through the provision for credit losses and the allowance. The CECL methodology could result in significant changes to both the timing and amounts of provision for credit losses and the allowance as compared to recent historical periods. Loans and leases that are deemed to be uncollectable are charged off and deducted from the allowance. The provision for credit losses and recoveries on loans and leases previously charged off are added to the allowance.
The allowance for loan and lease losses is comprised of an individually evaluated component for loans and leases that no longer share similar risk characteristics with other loans and leases and a pooled loans component for loans and leases that share similar risk characteristics.
A loan or lease with an outstanding balance greater than $250,000 is individually evaluated for expected credit loss when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the agreement. We select loans and leases for individual assessment on an ongoing basis using certain criteria such as payment performance, borrower reported and forecasted financial results, and other external factors when appropriate. We measure the current expected credit loss of a loan or lease based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan or lease is collateral-dependent or the present value of cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate, if the loan or lease is not collateral-dependent. To the extent a loan or lease balance exceeds the estimated collectable value, a reserve or charge-off is recorded depending upon either the certainty of the estimate of loss or the fair value of the loan’s collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

Our CECL methodology for the pooled loans component includes both quantitative and qualitative loss factors which are applied to our population of loans and leases and assessed at a pool level. The loan portfolio is segmented into four loan segments, eight loan classes and 22 loan pools based upon loan type that share similar default risk characteristics to calculate quantitative loss factors for each pool. Six of these loan pools have insignificant current balances and/or insignificant historical losses, thus, estimated losses are calculated using historical loss rates from the first quarter of 2009 to the current period rather than econometric regression modeling. For the remaining 16 loan pools, we estimate the probability of default (“PD”) during the reasonable and supportable period using seven econometric regression models developed to correlate macroeconomic variables to credit performance (including risk rating upgrades/downgrades and defaults). The loans and unfunded commitments are grouped into nine loss given default (“LGD”) pools based on portfolio classes that share similar collateral risk characteristics. LGD rates are computed based on the net charge-offs recognized divided by the exposure at default (“EAD”) of defaulted loans starting with the first quarter of 2009 to the current period. The PD and LGD rates are applied to the EAD at the loan or lease level based on contractual scheduled payments, estimated prepayments, and estimated usage of unfunded commitments to compute the current expected credit loss. We use our actual historical loan prepayment experience from 2009 - 2019 to estimate future prepayments by loan pool. Given that no historical period exhibits economic conditions similar to the single scenario baseline forecast discussed below, prepayment rates based on all historical prepayment experience from 2009 - 2019 are consistently applied during the reasonable and supportable, reversion, and post-reversion periods.
For the reasonable and supportable forecast period, future macroeconomic events and circumstances are estimated over a 4-quarter time horizon using a single scenario baseline forecast that is consistent with management's current expectations for the 16 loan pools. We use economic forecasts from Moody's Analytics in this process. The economic forecast is updated monthly therefore the one used for each quarter-end calculation is generally based on a one-month lag based on the timing of when the forecast becomes available. The key macroeconomic assumptions used in the PD regression models include at least three of the following economic indicators; Real GDP, unemployment rates, CRE Price Index and the BBB spread. The quantitative CECL model, utilizing historical portfolio performance, current portfolio composition and performance, estimated prepayments, and the effects of the economic forecast, calculates the expected EAD which is multiplied by the PD and LGD rates to calculate expected losses through the end of the forecast period. We then use a 2-quarter reversion period to revert on a straight-line basis from the PD, LGD, and prepayment rates used during the reasonable and support period to the Company’s historical PD, LGD, and prepayment experience. Subsequent to the reversion period for the remaining contractual life of loans and leases, PD, LGD, and prepayment rates are based on historical experience from 2009 to 2019. PD regression models and prepayment rates are updated on an annual basis. LGD rates are updated every quarter to reflect current charge-off activity.
The PDs calculated by the quantitative models are highly correlated to our internal risk ratings assigned to each loan and lease. To ensure the accuracy of our credit risk ratings, an independent credit review function assesses the appropriateness of the credit risk ratings assigned to loans and leases on a regular basis. The credit risk ratings assigned to every loan and lease are as follows:
High Pass: (Risk ratings 1-2) Loans and leases rated as "high pass" exhibit a favorable credit profile and have minimal risk characteristics. Repayment in full is expected, even in adverse economic conditions.
Pass: (Risk ratings 3-4) Loans and leases rated as "pass" are not adversely classified and collection and repayment in full are expected.
Special Mention: (Risk rating 5) Loans and leases rated as "special mention" have a potential weakness that requires management's attention. If not addressed, these potential weaknesses may result in further deterioration in the borrower's ability to repay the loan or lease.
Substandard: (Risk rating 6) Loans and leases rated as "substandard" have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the collection of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that we will sustain some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.
Doubtful: (Risk rating 7) Loans and leases rated as "doubtful" have all the weaknesses of those rated as "substandard," with the additional trait that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full highly questionable and improbable.
In addition, we may refer to the loans and leases with assigned credit risk ratings of "substandard" and "doubtful" together as "classified" loans and leases. For further information on classified loans and leases, see Note 4. Loans and Leases of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) contained in "Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)."

In addition to our internal risk rating process, our federal and state banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s loan and lease risk rating classifications. Our regulators may require the Company to recognize rating downgrades based on their judgments related to information available to them at the time of their examinations. Risk rating downgrades generally result in increases in the provisions for credit losses and the allowance for credit losses.
The qualitative portion of the reserve on pooled loans and leases represents management’s judgment of additional considerations to account for internal and external risk factors that are not adequately measured in the quantitative reserve. The qualitative loss factors consider idiosyncratic risk factors, conditions that may not be reflected in quantitatively derived results, or other relevant factors to ensure the allowance for credit losses reflects our best estimate of current expected credit losses. Current and forecasted economic trends and underlying market values for collateral dependent loans are generally considered to be encompassed within our CECL quantitative methodology and component of the reserve. An incremental qualitative adjustment may be considered when economic forecasts exhibit higher levels of volatility or uncertainty.
The other qualitative criteria we consider when establishing the loss factors include the following:
Legal and Regulatory - matters that could impact our borrowers’ ability to repay our loans and leases;
Concentrations - loan and lease portfolio composition and any loan concentrations;
Collateral Dependency - considers changes in collateral values;
Lending Policy - current lending policies and the effects of any new policies or policy amendments;
Nature and Volume - loan and lease production volume and mix;
Problem Loan Trends - loan and lease portfolio credit performance trends, including a borrower's financial condition, credit rating, and ability to meet loan payment requirements;
Loan Review - results of independent credit review; and
Management - changes in management related to credit administration functions.
We estimate the reserve for unfunded loan commitments using the same PD, LGD, and prepayment rates as used for the allowance for loan and lease losses. The reserve for unfunded loan commitments is computed using expected future utilization rates of the unfunded commitments during the contractual life of the commitments based on historical usage of unfunded commitments for the various loan types from the first quarter of 2015 to the fourth quarter of 2019. The utilization rates are updated on an annual basis.
Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate for the current expected credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio and the credit risk ratings and inherent loss rates currently assigned are reasonable and appropriate as of the reporting date. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different conclusions that could result in a significant impact to the Company's financial statements. In addition, current credit risk ratings are subject to change as we continue to monitor our loans and leases. To the extent we experience increased levels of borrower loan defaults, borrowers’ noncompliance with loan agreements, adverse changes in collateral values, or changes in economic and business conditions that adversely affect our borrowers, classified loans and leases may increase. Higher levels of classified loans and leases generally result in increased provisions for credit losses and an increased allowance for credit losses. In addition, economic forecasts utilized in the estimation process will change in future periods, which will result in changes to the estimates made for current expected credit losses as of a point in time. However, economic forecasts are just one of many assumptions and components that go into estimating the allowance for credit losses.
The CECL methodology requires a significant amount of management judgment in determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses. Most of the steps in the methodology involve judgment and are subjective in nature including, among other things, selection of the most reliable econometric regression models, segmentation of the loan and lease portfolio, determining the amount of loss history to consider, determining the relevant macroeconomic inputs to the quantitative models, determining the methodology to forecast prepayments, selection of the most appropriate economic forecast scenario, determining the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast and reversion periods, determining expected utilization rates on unfunded loan commitments and determining relevant and appropriate qualitative factors. In addition, the CECL methodology is dependent on economic forecasts which are inherently imprecise and will change from period to period. Although we have established an allowance for credit losses that we consider appropriate, there can be no assurance that the allowance will be sufficient to absorb future losses.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 and the related amendments to ASC Topic 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” to replace the incurred loss accounting model with a current expected credit loss approach for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit. The new standard is generally intended to require earlier recognition of credit losses. While the standard changes the measurement of the allowance for credit losses, it does not change the credit risk of our lending portfolios or the ultimate losses in those portfolios.
Under the CECL approach, the standard requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the estimated remaining life of the asset. The forward-looking concept of CECL requires loss estimates to consider historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The standard modifies the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities to require entities to record an allowance when recognizing credit losses for available-for-sale securities, rather than reducing the amortized cost of the securities by direct write-offs.
The Company adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective approach and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $5.3 million, net of taxes, and increase the allowance for credit losses by $7.3 million without restating prior periods and applied the requirements of the new standard prospectively. There was no cumulative effect adjustment related to available-for-sale securities at adoption. The Company elected to account for interest receivable separately from the amortized cost of loans and leases and investment securities. Interest receivable is included in "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company elected the practical expedient to use the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date when recording the net carrying amount of the asset and determining the allowance for credit losses for a financial asset for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on the entity’s assessment as of the reporting date (collateral dependent financial asset). Additionally, the Company implemented new business processes, new internal controls, and modified existing and/or implemented new internal models and tools to facilitate the ongoing application of the new guidance. See Note 4. Loans and Leases for further details.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" which simplifies goodwill impairment testing by eliminating the second step of the analysis under which the implied fair value of goodwill is determined as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. The goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and an impairment charge would be recognized for any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, to the extent that the loss recognized does not exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
The Company used this approach to evaluate its goodwill during the first quarter of 2020, as an unprecedented decline in economic conditions triggered by the Coronavirus Disease ("COVID-19") pandemic caused a significant decline in stock market valuations in March 2020, including our stock price. These events indicated that goodwill may be impaired and resulted in us performing a goodwill impairment assessment. As a result, a goodwill impairment charge of $1.47 billion was recorded in the first quarter of 2020 as the Company's estimated fair value was less than its book value.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements" which add disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. Although the guidance modifies our disclosures in 2020, there was no impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this new standard.
ASU 2020-03, "Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2020-03"), revised a wide variety of topics in the Codification with the intent to make the Codification easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. ASU 2020-03 was effective immediately upon its release in March 2020 and did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements are omitted. In the opinion of management, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated and adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals and considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods, have been included. The current period's results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
We have made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates subject to change in the near term include, among other items, the allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the realization of deferred tax assets. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment may be significant.
Reclassifications
None.
NOTE 2. RESTRICTED CASH BALANCES
The FRBSF establishes cash reserve requirements that its member banks must maintain based on a percentage of deposit liabilities. On March 26, 2020, the FRBSF reduced the reserve requirement ratios to zero percent. The average reserves required to be held at the FRBSF for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 were $83.1 million and $131.0 million. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we pledged cash collateral for our derivative contracts of $2.2 million and $3.2 million.

The securities that were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2020, were considered impaired and required further review to determine if the unrealized losses were credit-related. We concluded their unrealized losses were a result of the level of market interest rates relative to the types of securities and pricing changes caused by shifting supply and demand dynamics and not a result of downgraded credit ratings or other indicators of deterioration of the underlying issuers' ability to repay. We also considered the seniority of the tranches and U.S. government agency guarantees, if any, to assess whether an unrealized loss was credit-related. Accordingly, we determined the unrealized losses were not credit-related and recognized such impairment in "other comprehensive income" in stockholders' equity. Although we periodically sell securities for portfolio management purposes, we do not foresee having to sell any impaired securities strictly for liquidity needs and believe that it is more likely than not we would not be required to sell any impaired securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

NOTE 4.  LOANS AND LEASES
Our loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred fees and costs, and in the case of acquired and purchased loans, net of purchase discounts and premiums. Deferred fees and costs and purchase discounts and premiums on acquired loans are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of the loans primarily using the effective interest method or taken into income when the related loans are paid off or included in the carrying amount of loans that are sold.

It is our policy to discontinue accruing interest when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or more (unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection) or when, in the opinion of management, there is a reasonable doubt as to the collectability of a loan or lease in the normal course of business. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent cash is received and the principal balance of the loan is deemed collectable.

Leases Receivable
We provide equipment financing to our customers primarily with operating and direct financing leases. For direct financing leases, lease receivables are recorded on the balance sheet but the leased equipment is not, although we generally retain legal title to the leased equipment until the end of each lease. Direct financing leases are stated at the net amount of minimum lease payments receivable, plus any unguaranteed residual value, less the amount of unearned income and net acquisition discount at the reporting date. Direct lease origination costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the leases. Direct financing leases are subject to our accounting for allowance for loan and lease losses. See Note 8. Leases for information regarding operating leases where we are the lessor.

The allowance for loan and lease losses increased by $79.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 to $301.1 million due primarily to a provision for loan and lease losses of $93.0 million driven by the impact from the significant deterioration and continued uncertainty in the key macro-economic forecast variables such as unemployment and GDP as a result of COVID-19.
We actively participated in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act during the second quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we processed approximately $1.2 billion in loans through the PPP. The loans have two-year terms, are fully guaranteed by the SBA, and do not carry an allowance.

NOTE 6.  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and other intangible assets arise from the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets generated from business combinations and deemed to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization and instead are tested for impairment annually unless a triggering event occurs thereby requiring an updated assessment. Our regular annual impairment assessment occurs in the fourth quarter. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. An impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess as a charge to "Noninterest expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings (loss).
The unprecedented decline in economic conditions triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant decline in stock market valuations in March 2020, including our stock price. These events indicated that goodwill may be impaired and resulted in us performing a goodwill impairment assessment. As a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1.47 billion in the first quarter of 2020 as the estimated fair value of equity was less than book value. This was a non-cash charge to earnings and had no impact on our regulatory capital ratios, cash flows, or liquidity position.
The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period indicated:

Our other intangible assets with definite lives include CDI and CRI. CDI and CRI are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment at least quarterly. The amortization expense represents the estimated decline in the value of the underlying deposits or customer relationships acquired. The aggregate amortization expense is expected to be $14.8 million for 2020. The estimated aggregate amortization expense related to our current intangible assets for each of the next four years is $10.8 million for 2021, $7.4 million for 2022, $3.8 million for 2023, and $1.7 million for 2024. Our current intangible assets are estimated to be fully amortized by the end of 2024.

The Bank has established secured and unsecured lines of credit under which it may borrow funds from time to time on a term or overnight basis from the FHLB, the FRBSF, and other financial institutions.
FHLB Secured Line of Credit. The Bank had secured financing capacity with the FHLB as of June 30, 2020 of $4.2 billion, collateralized by a blanket lien on $6.4 billion of qualifying loans. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company prepaid $750.0 million of FHLB term advances and incurred $6.6 million of prepayment penalties, which is included in "Other expense" on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings (loss). The FHLB term advances had a weighted average interest rate of 0.96% and the prepayment decision was made after the significant drop in market interest rates in March 2020 and the expectation of continued low interest rates for an extended time.

NOTE 10.  DERIVATIVES
The Company uses derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, primarily foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to manage the foreign exchange rate risk associated with certain foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2020, all of our derivatives were held for risk management purposes and none were designated as accounting hedges. The objective is to manage the uncertainty of future foreign exchange rate fluctuations. These derivatives provide for a fixed exchange rate which has the effect of reducing or eliminating changes to anticipated cash flows to be received on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as the result of changes to exchange rates. Our derivatives are carried at fair value and recorded in other assets or other liabilities, as appropriate. The changes in fair value of our derivatives and the related interest are recognized in "Noninterest income - other" in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings (loss). For the six months ended June 30, 2020, changes in fair value recorded through noninterest income in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings (loss) were immaterial.
In connection with negotiated credit facilities and certain other services, we may obtain equity warrant assets giving us the right to acquire stock in primarily private, venture-backed companies. We hold these assets for prospective investment gains. We do not use them to hedge any economic risks nor do we use other derivative instruments to hedge economic risks stemming from equity warrant assets. We account for equity warrant assets as derivatives when they contain net settlement terms and other qualifying criteria under ASC 815. These equity warrant assets are recorded at estimated fair value and are classified as "Other assets" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at the time they are obtained. See Note 7. Other Assets.

Derivative instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. This risk exposure consists primarily of the termination value of agreements where we are in a favorable position. We manage the credit risk associated with various derivative agreements through bilateral collateral posting requirements, counterparty credit review, and monitoring procedures.

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement that the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

PACWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Commitments to extend credit are contractual agreements to lend to our customers when customers are in compliance with their contractual credit agreements and when customers have contractual availability to borrow under such agreements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. We provide standby letters of credit in conjunction with several of our lending arrangements and property lease obligations. Most guarantees expire within one year from the date of issuance. If a borrower defaults on its commitments subject to any letter of credit issued under these arrangements, we would be required to meet the borrower's financial obligation but would seek repayment of that financial obligation from the borrower. In some cases, borrowers have pledged cash and investment securities as collateral under these arrangements.
In addition, we invest in small business investment companies that call for capital contributions up to an amount specified in the partnership agreements, and in CRA-related loan pools. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had commitments to contribute capital to these entities totaling $50.0 million and $40.7 million. We also had commitments to contribute up to an additional $50,000 to private equity funds at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The following table presents the years in which commitments are expected to be paid for our commitments to contribute capital to small business investment companies and CRA-related loan pools as of the date indicated:

Legal Matters
In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. The outcome of such legal actions and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict. In the opinion of management, based upon currently available information, any resulting liability, in addition to amounts already accrued, and taking into consideration insurance which may be applicable, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements or operations. The range of any reasonably possible liabilities is also not significant.

NOTE 12.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company uses fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily securities available-for-sale and derivatives. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for individually evaluated loans and leases and other real estate owned and also to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, CDI, and other long-lived assets.
For information regarding the valuation methodologies used to measure our assets recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 820), and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 825, as amended by ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03), see Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 14. Fair Value Measurements, to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect income taxes or any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on what management believes to be reasonable judgments regarding expected future cash flows, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimated fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Since the fair values have been estimated as of June 30, 2020, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments could be significantly different.

NOTE 15.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2017 Plan, permits stock-based compensation awards to officers, directors, employees, and consultants. The 2017 Plan authorized grants of stock-based compensation instruments to purchase or issue up to 4,000,000 shares of Company common stock. As of June 30, 2020, there were 1,790,129 shares available for grant under the 2017 Plan. Though frozen for new issuances, certain awards issued under the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan remain outstanding, but are due to vest no later than February 2021.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock amortization totaled $5.7 million and $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and $12.2 million and $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Such amounts are included in "Compensation expense" on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings (loss). The amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested TRSAs and PRSUs as of June 30, 2020 totaled $55.3 million.
Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards
At June 30, 2020, there were 1,624,622 shares of unvested TRSAs outstanding pursuant to the Company's 2003 and 2017 Stock Incentive Plans. The TRSAs generally vest ratably over a service period of three to four years from the date of the grant or immediately upon death of an employee. Compensation expense related to TRSAs is based on the fair value of the underlying award on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
At June 30, 2020, there were 315,008 units of unvested PRSUs that have been granted. The PRSUs will vest only if performance goals with respect to certain financial metrics are met over a three-year performance period. The shares underlying the PRSUs are not considered issued and outstanding until they vest. PRSUs are granted and initially expensed based on a target number. The number of shares that will ultimately vest based on actual performance will range from zero to a maximum of either 150% or 200% of target.
Compensation expense related to PRSUs is based on the fair value of the underlying award on the grant date and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method unless it is determined that: (1) attainment of the financial metrics is less than probable, in which case a portion or all of the amortization is suspended, or (2) attainment of the financial metrics is improbable, in which case a portion or all of the previously recognized amortization is reversed and also suspended. If it is determined that attainment of a financial measure higher than target is probable, the amortization will increase to up to 150% or 200% of the target amortization amount. Annual PRSU expense may vary during the three-year performance period based upon changes in management's estimate of the number of shares that may ultimately vest. In the case where the performance target for the PRSU is based on a market condition (such as total shareholder return), the amortization is neither reversed nor suspended if it is subsequently determined that the attainment of the performance target is less than probable or improbable and the employee continues to meet the service requirement of the award.

This Update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other agreements affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest reference rates. For agreements that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered “minor” so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. This Update also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. An entity may elect to apply this Update for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Overview
PacWest Bancorp, a Delaware corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the BHCA, with our corporate headquarters located in Beverly Hills, California. Our principal business is to serve as the holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Western Bank. References to "Pacific Western" or the "Bank" refer to Pacific Western Bank together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. References to "we," "us," or the "Company" refer to PacWest Bancorp together with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. When we refer to "PacWest" or to the "holding company," we are referring to PacWest Bancorp, the parent company, on a stand-alone basis.
The Bank is focused on relationship-based business banking to small, middle-market, and venture-backed businesses nationwide. The Bank offers a broad range of loan and lease and deposit products and services through 74 full-service branches located in California, one branch located in Durham, North Carolina, one branch located in Denver, Colorado, and numerous loan production offices across the country. The Bank provides community banking products including lending and comprehensive deposit and treasury management services to small and medium-sized businesses conducted primarily through our California-based branch offices and Denver, Colorado branch office. The Bank offers national lending products including asset-based, equipment, and real estate loans and treasury management services to established middle-market businesses on a national basis. The Bank also offers venture banking products including a comprehensive suite of financial services focused on entrepreneurial and venture-backed businesses and their venture capital and private equity investors, with offices located in key innovative hubs across the United States. In addition, we provide investment advisory and asset management services to select clients through Pacific Western Asset Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank and an SEC-registered investment adviser.
In managing the top line of our business, we focus on loan growth, loan yield, deposit cost, and net interest margin. Net interest income, on a year-to-date basis in 2020, accounted for 88.1% of net revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income).
At June 30, 2020, the Company had total assets of $27.4 billion, including $19.7 billion of total loans and leases, net of deferred fees, and $3.9 billion of securities available-for-sale, compared to $26.8 billion of total assets, including $18.8 billion of total loans and leases, net of deferred fees, and $3.8 billion of securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2019. The $594.9 million increase in total assets since year-end was due primarily to a $1.3 billion increase in interest-earning deposits in financial institutions and an $847.8 million increase in loans and leases, net of deferred fees, offset partially by a $1.5 billion write-down of goodwill. The increase in loans and leases was driven mostly by $1.2 billion of loans funded under the Paycheck Protection Program and increased balances on existing loans resulting primarily from disbursements on construction loans.
52


At June 30, 2020, the Company had total liabilities of $23.9 billion, including total deposits of $22.9 billion and borrowings of $60.0 million, compared to $21.8 billion of total liabilities, including $19.2 billion of total deposits and $1.8 billion of borrowings at December 31, 2019. The $2.1 billion increase in total liabilities since year-end was due mainly to increases of $3.3 billion in core deposits and $720.9 million in non-core non-maturity deposits, offset partially by decreases of $1.7 billion in borrowings, primarily FHLB advances, and $373.8 million in time deposits. The increase in core deposits was due primarily to PPP loan proceeds being deposited into customers' accounts and venture banking, which saw deposits increase by $1.6 billion to a record $8.7 billion at June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, core deposits totaled $19.5 billion, or 85% of total deposits, including $8.6 billion of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, or 38% of total deposits.
At June 30, 2020, the Company had total stockholders' equity of $3.5 billion compared to $5.0 billion at December 31, 2019. The $1.5 billion decrease in stockholders' equity since year-end was due mainly to a $1.4 billion net loss, attributable primarily to a $1.47 billion goodwill impairment charge, $100.7 million of cash dividends paid, and $70.0 million of common stock repurchased under the Stock Repurchase Program, offset partially by a $66.4 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income. Consolidated capital ratios remained strong with Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios of 9.97% and 13.18% at June 30, 2020.
Recent Events
COVID-19 Pandemic
The outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease ("COVID-19") pandemic has impacted our business and operations in several ways as outlined below. Our first and continuing priority remains the safety and health of our employees and customers as we navigate our way through the pandemic. In the first quarter, we activated our Business Continuity Team and Pandemic Plan under the direction of a special task force comprised of executive level management from various departments to work closely with the Business Continuity Team to help lead our people and our business through this period of uncertainty.
Our Employees
We took several actions in March to move everyone possible to a remote working environment, which has continued to this day; however, as an essential business service, some of our employees are required to work at one of our critical offices or at one of our branch locations where we are practicing social distancing and other safety measures to the best of our ability. We have applied social distancing, wearing of face masks, remote working, additional cleaning, reminders of frequent handwashing, installation of plexi-glass barriers among other steps to ensure the health and safety of employees and customers. We suspended all employee business travel and canceled all hosted client events. We require anyone who has traveled personally to a foreign country or on a cruise, to self-quarantine for 14 days. Despite these restrictions, we have remained fully operational and able to meet the needs of our clients and the communities we serve. To recognize our employees who must work in our branches or critical locations, we paid a special bonus of up to $1,000 in the second quarter of 2020.
Our Clients and Branch Operations
Our primary branch operations are within California, which continues to work its way through the State's Resilience Roadmap from the initial "Stay-at-home" order issued on March 13, 2020 to the subsequent executive orders and phased-in guidance issued for re-openings. As a large state, the stages of re-opening vary by county and thus the impact to our operations varies by county. At the outset of the pandemic, we closed 19 branches along with the lobbies of 27 additional branches where drive-up tellers are available. On June 1st, we re-opened 17 of the 19 branches and decided to permanently close two branches. We continue to monitor the pandemic's impact on our branch operations and have alternative plans in place in the event we need to reduce branch hours, temporarily close branches in close proximity to each other, or stagger the hours of our employees, all in an effort to keep our employees and customers safe while meeting the needs of our customers.

Impact to Our Business
To date, from a business perspective, the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic have been primarily related to our loan portfolio. We have experienced an increase in customers seeking loan modifications through payment deferrals and extension of terms. As of June 30, 2020, loan payment or deferral modifications were made on approximately 9% of the loan portfolio, most of which occurred in May and June. Most of the modifications were either for payment deferrals for three months or maturity extensions up to three months, while some deferrals were up to six months and some extensions were up to one year. As of July 30, 2020, loan modifications were 9% of the June 30, 2020 loan and lease portfolio as shown in the table below:

We actively participated in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act. As of June 30, 2020, we processed over 4,100 loans for approximately $1.2 billion in loans through the PPP. The loans had two-year terms with a 1% loan coupon rate and origination fees that varied from 1% to 5% depending on the size of the loan. These fees, which amounted to approximately $36.4 million, are recognized over the two-year life of the loan with the fee recognition accelerated upon forgiveness or repayment of the loan. The PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and do not carry an allowance. Our participation in the PPP resulted in a corresponding increase in core deposits in the second quarter of 2020 due to PPP loan proceeds being deposited into customers' accounts.
As events unfolded in March, we immediately increased the enhanced monitoring of our loan and lease portfolio with particular emphasis on certain loan and lease portfolios that we expected to be most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as hotel, retail, commercial aviation, restaurant, and oil services loan and lease portfolios. The economic impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic precipitated loan and lease risk rating downgrades across these loan and lease portfolios, resulting in increases of $443.4 million in special mention loans and $117.3 million in classified loans during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our exposure to these loan and lease portfolios, which includes equipment leased to others under operating leases, is as follows:

The deterioration in economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the economic forecasts and assumptions used in our estimation process for the allowance for credit losses under CECL. Our provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2020 increased by $8.0 million from the first quarter of 2020 to $120.0 million, while during the first quarter of 2020, the provision for credit losses increased by $109.0 million to $112.0 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Deterioration in the macro-economic variables used in economic forecasts used in the allowance for credit losses process has contributed to a higher provision for credit losses for the first half of the year. For further details on CECL and the impacts to our process in the second quarter, see “- Balance Sheet Analysis - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment” contained herein. .
During the first quarter of 2020, the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic also resulted in market volatility and a significant decline in stock market valuations, including our stock price. As a result, we performed an updated goodwill impairment assessment and recorded goodwill impairment of $1.47 billion in the first quarter, as the estimated fair value of equity was less than book value as of March 31, 2020. This is a non-cash charge and had no impact on our regulatory capital ratios, cash flows, or liquidity position. The goodwill impairment charge resulted in a net loss of $1.4 billion in the first quarter and although our net earnings excluding the goodwill impairment charge were $36.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, the results contributed to our decision to reduce our quarterly dividend from $0.60 per share to $0.25 per share during the second quarter.
On March 23, 2020, we announced the temporary suspension of share repurchases under our stock repurchase program until June 30, 2020 and, subsequently announced on April 21, 2020, the indefinite suspension of any repurchases in light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic-related developments. We have not repurchased any shares since February 28, 2020.
Looking ahead, we expect the operating environment to remain challenging as the severity and duration of the pandemic continue to unfold. We expect to see some requests for further loan modifications as the initial modifications expire during the second half of the year while the level of provisions for credit losses will continue to be impacted by the economic forecasts and overall credit performance of the loan portfolio.
Key Performance Indicators
Among other factors, our operating results generally depend on the following key performance indicators:
The Level of Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the excess of interest earned on our interest-earning assets over the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is net interest income (annualized if related to a quarterly period) expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Tax equivalent net interest income is net interest income increased by an adjustment for tax-exempt interest on certain loans and investment securities based on a 21% federal statutory tax rate. Tax equivalent net interest margin is calculated as tax equivalent net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
Net interest income is affected by changes in both interest rates and the volume of average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our primary interest-earning assets are loans and investment securities, and our primary interest-bearing liabilities are deposits and borrowings. Contributing to our high net interest margin is our high yield on loans and leases and competitive cost of deposits. While our deposit balances will fluctuate depending on deposit holders’ perceptions of alternative yields available in the market, we seek to minimize the impact of these variances by attracting a high percentage of noninterest-bearing deposits.

Loan and Lease Growth
We actively seek new lending opportunities under an array of lending products. Our lending activities include real estate mortgage loans, real estate construction and land loans, commercial loans and leases, and a small amount of consumer lending. Our commercial real estate loans and real estate construction loans are secured by a range of property types. Our commercial loans and leases portfolio is diverse and generally includes various asset-secured loans, equipment-secured loans and leases, venture capital loans to support venture capital firms’ operations and the operations of entrepreneurial and venture-backed companies during the various phases of their early life cycles, and secured business loans.
Our loan origination process emphasizes credit quality. To augment our internal loan production, we have historically purchased multi-family loans from other banks and private student loans from third-party lenders. These loan purchases help us manage the concentrations in our portfolio as they diversify the geographic, interest-rate risk, credit risk, and product composition of our loan portfolio. Achieving net loan growth is subject to many factors, including maintaining strict credit standards, competition from other lenders, and borrowers that opt to prepay loans.
The Magnitude of Credit Losses
We emphasize credit quality in originating and monitoring our loans and leases, and we measure our success by the levels of our classified loans and leases, nonaccrual loans and leases, and net charge-offs. We maintain an allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, which is the sum of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. Provisions for credit losses are charged to operations as and when needed for both on and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Loans and leases that are deemed uncollectable are charged off and deducted from the allowance for loan and lease losses. Recoveries on loans and leases previously charged off are added to the allowance for loan and lease losses. The provision for credit losses on the loan and lease portfolio is based on our allowance methodology, which considers the impact of assumptions and is reflective of historical experience, economic forecasts viewed to be reasonable and supportable by management, the current loan and lease composition, and relative credit risks known as of the balance sheet date. For originated and acquired credit-deteriorated loans, a provision for credit losses may be recorded to reflect credit deterioration after the origination date or after the acquisition date, respectively.
We regularly review loans and leases to determine whether there has been any deterioration in credit quality resulting from borrower operations or changes in collateral value or other factors which may affect collectability of our loans and leases. Changes in economic conditions, such as the rate of economic growth, the unemployment rate, rate of inflation, increases in the general level of interest rates, declines in real estate values, changes in commodity prices, and adverse conditions in borrowers’ businesses, could negatively impact our borrowers and cause us to adversely classify loans and leases. An increase in classified loans and leases generally results in increased provisions for credit losses and an increased allowance for credit losses. Any deterioration in the commercial real estate market may lead to increased provisions for credit losses because our loans are concentrated in commercial real estate loans.
The Level of Noninterest Expense
Our noninterest expense includes fixed and controllable overhead, the largest components of which are compensation and occupancy expense. It also includes costs that tend to vary based on the volume of activity, such as loan and lease production and the number and complexity of foreclosed assets. We measure success in controlling both fixed and variable costs through monitoring of the efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense (less intangible asset amortization, net foreclosed assets expense (income), goodwill impairment, and acquisition, integration and reorganization costs) by net revenues (the sum of tax equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, less gain (loss) on sale of securities and gain (loss) on sales of assets other than loans and leases).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. We identify critical policies and estimates as those that require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies and estimates relate to the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment, the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the realization of deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC. Updates to our critical accounting policies and estimates are described below.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets arise from the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets generated from business combinations and deemed to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization and instead are tested for impairment annually unless a triggering event occurs thereby requiring an updated assessment. Our regular annual impairment assessment occurs in the fourth quarter. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. An impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess as a charge to "Noninterest expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings (loss).
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment
For information regarding the calculation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment using the CECL methodology effective January 1, 2020, see " - Balance Sheet Analysis - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment" and "Note 1. Organization - Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020," of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) contained in "Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)." For further information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to First Quarter of 2020
Net earnings for the second quarter of 2020 was $33.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to a net loss for the first quarter of 2020 of $1.43 billion, or a loss of $12.23 per diluted share. The $1.47 billion increase in net earnings from the prior quarter was due primarily to a $1.47 billion goodwill impairment charge in the first quarter, higher noninterest income of $9.8 million, and higher net interest income of $4.5 million, offset partially by higher noninterest expense (excluding the goodwill impairment charge) of $9.0 million, and a higher provision for credit losses of $8.0 million. Noninterest income increased due primarily to a $7.5 million increase in gain on sale of securities and a $2.9 million increase in dividends and gains on equity investments, offset partially by a $1.6 million decrease in other income. Net interest income increased due mainly to a lower cost of average interest-bearing liabilities and a higher balance of average loans and leases, offset partially by a lower yield on average loans and leases and securities. The increase in noninterest expense (excluding the goodwill impairment charge) was due mainly to increases of $5.1 million in insurance and assessments expense and $6.6 million in prepayment penalties incurred from the early payoff of $750 million of FHLB term advances, offset partially by the reversal of a $1.5 million accrual for operational loss contingencies. The increase in the provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2020 was driven by the impact from the significant deterioration and continued uncertainty in the key macro-economic forecast variables such as unemployment and GDP as a result of the impact of COVID-19. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, adjusted net earnings for the first quarter of 2020 were $36.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. See "Non-GAAP Measurements" for the calculations of these amounts.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019
Net earnings for the second quarter of 2020 were $33.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to net earnings for the second quarter of 2019 of $128.1 million, or $1.07 per diluted share. The $94.9 million decrease in net earnings from the year-ago quarter was due primarily to a higher provision for credit losses of $112.0 million, lower noninterest income of $12.0 million, and lower net interest income of $6.6 million, offset partially by lower income tax expense of $37.3 million. The increase in the provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2020 was the result of the impact of the current economic forecast used in our CECL process, which reflected a significant deterioration in key macro-economic forecast variables such as unemployment and GDP as a result of COVID-19. The decrease in noninterest income in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the year-ago quarter was primarily due to a $14.5 million decrease in the gain on sale of securities. Net interest income decreased due primarily to lower yields on average loans and leases and securities as a result of lower market rates, offset partially by a lower cost of average interest-bearing liabilities and a higher balance of average loans and leases. The decrease in income tax expense is mostly due to lower pre-tax net earnings in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the year-ago quarter.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.40 billion, or a loss of $11.98 per diluted share, compared to net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $240.7 million, or $1.99 per diluted share. The $1.64 billion decrease in net earnings from the year-ago period was due primarily to a $1.47 billion goodwill impairment charge, a higher provision for credit losses of $220.0 million, lower noninterest income of $14.0 million, and lower net interest income of $11.7 million, offset partially by lower noninterest expense of $6.8 million, excluding the goodwill impairment charge, and lower income tax expense of $68.3 million. The increase in the provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was the result of the impact of the current economic forecast used in our CECL process, which reflected a significant deterioration in key macro-economic forecast variables such as unemployment and GDP as a result of COVID-19. The decrease in noninterest income for the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period a year ago was due primarily to a $16.5 million decrease in the gain on sale of securities. Net interest income decreased due mainly to lower yields on average loans and leases and securities as a result of lower market rates, offset partially by a lower cost of average interest-bearing liabilities and a higher balance of average loans and leases. The decrease in noninterest expense, excluding the goodwill impairment charge was due mostly to lower compensation expense of $16.6 million, offset partially by higher insurance and assessments expense of $5.5 million and higher leased equipment depreciation of $3.1 million.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to First Quarter of 2020
Net interest income increased by $4.5 million to $254.3 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $249.7 million for the first quarter of 2020 due mainly to a lower cost of average interest-bearing liabilities and a higher balance of average loans and leases, offset partially by a lower yield on average loans and leases. The tax-equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 5.01% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 5.54% for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in the yield on average loans and leases was due principally to lower market rates, a lower rate on loan production from the impact of the PPP loans, and lower loan discount accretion. Excluding the PPP loans, which have a coupon rate of 1%, the tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 5.10%.
The tax equivalent NIM was 4.20% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 4.31% for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in the tax equivalent NIM was due mainly to lower market rates resulting in a lower loan and lease yield, a lower rate on loan production from the impact of the PPP loans, and lower loan discount accretion. Excluding the PPP loans, the tax equivalent NIM was 4.25% for the second quarter of 2020. Despite the above, the NIM proved to be resilient in part due to interest rate floors on variable-rate loans.
The cost of average total deposits decreased to 0.25% for the second quarter of 2020 from 0.59% for the first quarter of 2020. The lower cost of average interest-bearing deposits reflected actions taken to reduce deposit rates in light of the two emergency interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in March of 2020. The spot rate of our cost of deposits was 0.19% on June 30, 2020.
Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019
Net interest income decreased by $6.6 million to $254.3 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $260.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 due mainly to a lower yield on average loans and leases, offset partially by a lower cost of average interest-bearing liabilities and a higher balance of average loans and leases. The tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 5.01% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 6.26% for the same quarter of 2019. The decrease in the yield on average loans and leases was due mainly to lower loan coupon interest from the repricing of variable-rate loans in conjunction with decreased market rates and a lower rate on loan production from the impact of the PPP loans.
The tax equivalent NIM was 4.20% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 4.72% for the same quarter last year. The decrease in the tax equivalent NIM was due mostly to the decrease in the yield on average loans and leases as described above, offset partially by lower deposit and borrowing costs. Total discount accretion on acquired loans contributed five basis points to the NIM for the second quarter of 2020 compared to seven basis points for the second quarter of 2019.
The cost of average total deposits decreased to 0.25% for the second quarter of 2020 from 0.81% for the second quarter of 2019 due mainly to lower rates paid on deposits in conjunction with decreased market rates.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net interest income decreased by $11.7 million to $504.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $515.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due mainly to a lower yield on average loans and leases and higher balances of average interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, offset partially by a lower cost of average interest-bearing liabilities and a higher balance of average loans and leases. The tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 5.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 6.21% for the same period in 2019. The decrease in the yield on average loans and leases was due mainly to lower loan coupon interest from the repricing of variable-rate loans in conjunction with decreased market rates and a lower rate on loan production from the impact of the PPP loans. Excluding the PPP loans, which have a coupon rate of 1%, the tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 5.32%.
The tax equivalent NIM was 4.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 4.70% for the same period last year. The decrease in the tax equivalent NIM was due mostly to the decrease in the yield on average loans and leases as described above, offset partially by lower deposit and borrowing costs. Excluding the PPP loans, the tax equivalent NIM was 4.28% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
The cost of average total deposits decreased to 0.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 0.77% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due mainly to lower rates paid on deposits resulting from decreased market rates.

______________________
(1) See "- Balance Sheet Analysis - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment" for detail of charge-offs and recoveries by loan portfolio segment, class, and subclass for the periods presented.
Provisions for credit losses are charged to earnings for both the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. The provision for credit losses on our loans and leases held for investment is based on our allowance methodology and is an expense that, in our judgment, is required to maintain an adequate allowance for credit losses. For further details on our allowance for credit losses methodology, see “- Balance Sheet Analysis - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment” contained herein.
The provision for credit losses increased by $8.0 million to $120.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $112.0 million for the first quarter of 2020 as a result of reserve builds that reflected significant deterioration and continued uncertainty in the key macro-economic forecast variables such as unemployment and GDP as a result of COVID-19.
The provision for credit losses increased by $112.0 million to $120.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2019 as a result of the impact of the current economic forecast used in our CECL process, which reflected a significant deterioration in key macro-economic forecast variables such as unemployment and GDP as a result of COVID-19.
The provision for credit losses increased by $220.0 million to $232.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of the impact of the current economic forecast used in our CECL process, which reflected a significant deterioration in key macro-economic forecast variables such as unemployment and GDP as a result of COVID-19.
66


Certain circumstances may lead to increased provisions for credit losses in the future. Examples of such circumstances include an increased amount of classified and/or criticized loans and leases, net loan and lease and unfunded commitment growth, and changes in economic conditions and forecasts. Changes in economic conditions and forecasts include the rate of economic growth, the unemployment rate, the rate of inflation, changes in the general level of interest rates, changes in real estate values, and adverse conditions in borrowers’ businesses. See further discussion in “- Balance Sheet Analysis - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment” contained herein.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to First Quarter of 2020
Noninterest income increased by $9.8 million to $38.9 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $29.1 million for the first quarter of 2020 due mainly to a $7.5 million increase in gain on sale of securities and a $2.9 million increase in dividends and gains on equity investments, offset partially by a $1.6 million decrease in other income. The increase in gain on sale of securities resulted from the sale of $122.3 million of securities in the second quarter. The increase in dividends and gains on equity investments resulted from increases in the fair value of equity investments still held and a $1.5 million gain on sale of an equity investment. The decrease in other income was primarily due to $1.1 million of bankruptcy proceeds received on a former credit in the first quarter.
Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019
Noninterest income decreased by $12.0 million to $38.9 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $50.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 due mainly to a $14.5 million decrease in gain on sale of securities, a $1.8 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts, and a $1.5 million decrease in other commissions and fees, offset partially by a $3.0 million increase in dividends and gains on equity investments and a $2.9 million increase in leased equipment income. Gain on sale of securities decreased primarily due to lower sales activity in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to the second quarter of 2019. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased due primarily to lower analysis fees and NSF fees in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to the second quarter of 2019. Other commissions and fees decreased primarily due to lower credit card fee income and lower foreign exchange fees, offset partially by higher customer success fees. The increase in dividends and gains on equity investments resulted primarily from increases in the fair value of equity investments still held and gains on sales of equity investments sold. Leased equipment income increased due to early lease terminations resulting in higher termination gains in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to the second quarter of 2019 and a higher average balance of leases in 2020 resulting in higher lease income as compared to the 2019 period.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Noninterest income decreased by $14.0 million to $68.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $82.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due mainly to a $16.5 million decrease in gain on sale of securities, a $2.8 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts, and a $2.8 million decrease in other commissions and fees, offset partially by a $5.8 million increase in leased equipment income and a $2.8 million increase in dividends and gains on equity investments. Gain on sale of securities decreased primarily due to lower sales activity in the 2020 period as compared to the prior year period. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased due primarily to lower analysis fees and NSF fees for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period last year as we waived certain fees as part of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Other commissions and fees decreased primarily due to lower foreign exchange fees and lower credit card fee income, offset partially by higher customer success fees. Leased equipment income increased due to early lease terminations resulting in higher termination gains in the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 and a higher average balance of leases in 2020 resulting in higher lease income as compared to the 2019 period.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to First Quarter of 2020
Noninterest expense decreased by $1.46 billion to $127.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1.59 billion for the first quarter of 2020 attributable primarily to a $1.47 billion goodwill impairment charge in the first quarter. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, noninterest expense increased by $9.0 million to $127.0 million. This increase was due mainly to a $5.1 million increase in insurance and assessments expense, a $1.6 million increase in other expense, a $0.7 million increase in loan expense, and a $0.6 million increase in data processing expense. The increase in insurance and assessments expense was due to an increase in FDIC assessment expense resulting from an increase in our assessment rate due primarily to the first quarter loss from the goodwill impairment charge. The higher assessment rate will continue for one year. The increase in other expense was due to $6.6 million in prepayment penalties incurred from the early payoff of $750 million of FHLB term advances, offset partially by the reversal of a $1.5 million accrual for operational loss contingencies and decreases in various business expenses due to less activity as a result of COVID-19. The FHLB term advances had a weighted average interest rate of 0.96% and the prepayment decision was made after the significant drop in market rates in March and the expectation of continued low rates for extended time. The increase in loan expense was due primarily to higher loan-related legal and workout expenses. The increase in data processing expense was due to a one-time expense to purchase systems for the origination and loan documentation submissions necessary for the Paycheck Protection Program.
Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019
Noninterest expense increased by $1.5 million to $127.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $125.4 million for the second quarter of 2019 due mainly to a $5.3 million increase in insurance and assessments, a $2.0 million increase in other expense and a $1.5 million increase in leased equipment depreciation, offset partially by a $7.0 million decrease in compensation expense. Insurance and assessments expense increased due primarily to an increase in our FDIC assessment rate as a result of the first quarter 2020 loss from the goodwill impairment charge. The increase in other expense was due mainly to $6.6 million in prepayment penalties incurred from the early payoff of $750 million of FHLB term advances, offset partially by decreases in various business expenses due to less activity as a result of COVID-19. The increase in leased equipment depreciation is due mainly to a higher average balance in the 2020 quarter as compared to the 2019 quarter. The decrease in compensation expense was due mainly to lower bonus expense in the 2020 quarter compared to the 2019 quarter.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Noninterest expense increased by $1.46 billion to $1.71 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $251.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due mainly to a $1.47 billion goodwill impairment charge. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, noninterest expense decreased by $6.8 million to $244.9 million. This decrease was due mainly to a $16.6 million decrease in compensation expense, offset partially by a $5.5 million increase in insurance and assessments due primarily to an increase in our FDIC assessment rate as a result of the first quarter 2020 loss from the goodwill impairment charge, and a $3.1 million increase in leased equipment depreciation due to a higher average balance of leased equipment. The decrease in compensation expense was due mainly to lower bonus expense in the 2020 period compared to the prior year.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2020 was 28.1% compared to (0.8)% for the first quarter of 2020 and 28.2% for the second quarter of 2019. Excluding non-deductible goodwill impairment, the effective income tax rate was 24.5% for the first quarter of 2020. The higher effective tax rate in the second quarter was mainly due to tax expense related to restricted stock vestings combined with benefits recorded in the first quarter related to the filing of amended state returns. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was (1.8)% compared to 27.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Excluding non-deductible goodwill impairment, the effective income tax rate was 26.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company’s blended statutory tax rate for federal and state is 27.9% and the effective tax rate for the full year 2020, excluding non-deductible goodwill impairment, is estimated to be in the range of 26-28%.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment is the combination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for loan and lease losses is reported as a reduction of the amortized cost basis of loans and leases, while the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is included within "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost basis of loans and leases does not include interest receivable, which is included in "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The "Provision for credit losses" on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings (loss) is a combination of the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded loan commitments.
Under the CECL methodology, expected credit losses reflect losses over the remaining contractual life of an asset, considering the effect of prepayments and available information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about relevant historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances. Thus, the CECL methodology incorporates a broad range of information in developing credit loss estimates. The resulting allowance for loan and lease losses is deducted from the associated amortized cost basis to reflect the net amount expected to be collected. Subsequent changes in this estimate are recorded through the provision for credit losses and the allowance. The CECL methodology could result in significant changes to both the timing and amounts of provision for credit losses and the allowance as compared to recent historical periods. Loans and leases that are deemed to be uncollectable are charged off and deducted from the allowance. The provision for credit losses and recoveries on loans and leases previously charged off are added to the allowance.
The allowance for loan and lease losses is comprised of an individually evaluated component for loans and leases that no longer share similar risk characteristics with other loans and leases and a pooled loans component for loans and leases that share similar risk characteristics.
A loan or lease with an outstanding balance greater than $250,000 is individually evaluated for expected credit loss when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the agreement. We select loans and leases for individual assessment on an ongoing basis using certain criteria such as payment performance, borrower reported and forecasted financial results, and other external factors when appropriate. We measure the current expected credit loss of a loan or lease based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan or lease is collateral-dependent or the present value of cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate, if the loan or lease is not collateral-dependent. To the extent a loan or lease balance exceeds the estimated collectable value, a reserve or charge-off is recorded depending upon either the certainty of the estimate of loss or the fair value of the loan’s collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.
Our CECL methodology for the pooled loans component includes both quantitative and qualitative loss factors which are applied to our population of loans and leases and assessed at a pool level. The loan portfolio is segmented into four loan segments, eight loan classes and 22 loan pools based upon loan type that share similar default risk characteristics to calculate quantitative loss factors for each pool. Six of these loan pools have insignificant current balances and/or insignificant historical losses, thus, estimated losses are calculated using historical loss rates from the first quarter of 2009 to the current period rather than econometric regression modeling. For the remaining 16 loan pools, we estimate the probability of default (“PD”) during the reasonable and supportable period using seven econometric regression models developed to correlate macroeconomic variables to credit performance (including risk rating upgrades/downgrades and defaults). The loans and unfunded commitments are grouped into nine loss given default (“LGD”) pools based on portfolio classes that share similar collateral risk characteristics. LGD rates are computed based on the net charge-offs recognized divided by the exposure at default (“EAD”) of defaulted loans starting with the first quarter of 2009 to the current period. The PD and LGD rates are applied to the EAD at the loan or lease level based on contractual scheduled payments, estimated prepayments, and estimated usage of unfunded commitments to compute the current expected credit loss. We use our actual historical loan prepayment experience from 2009 - 2019 to estimate future prepayments by loan pool. Given that no historical period exhibits economic conditions similar to the single scenario baseline forecast discussed below, prepayment rates based on all historical prepayment experience from 2009 - 2019 are consistently applied during the reasonable and supportable, reversion, and post-reversion periods.
73


For the reasonable and supportable forecast period, future macroeconomic events and circumstances are estimated over a 4-quarter time horizon using a single scenario baseline forecast that is consistent with management's current expectations for the 16 loan pools. We use economic forecasts from Moody's Analytics in this process. The economic forecast is updated monthly therefore the one used for each quarter-end calculation is generally based on a one-month lag based on the timing of when the forecast becomes available. The key macroeconomic assumptions used in the PD regression models include at least three of the following economic indicators; Real GDP, unemployment rates, CRE Price Index and the BBB spread. The quantitative CECL model, utilizing historical portfolio performance, current portfolio composition and performance, estimated prepayments, and the effects of the economic forecast, calculates the expected EAD which is multiplied by the PD and LGD rates to calculate expected losses through the end of the forecast period. We then use a 2-quarter reversion period to revert on a straight-line basis from the PD, LGD, and prepayment rates used during the reasonable and support period to the Company’s historical PD, LGD, and prepayment experience. Subsequent to the reversion period for the remaining contractual life of loans and leases, PD, LGD, and prepayment rates are based on historical experience from 2009 to 2019. PD regression models and prepayment rates are updated on an annual basis. LGD rates are updated every quarter to reflect current charge-off activity.
The PDs calculated by the quantitative models are highly correlated to our internal risk ratings assigned to each loan and lease. To ensure the accuracy of our credit risk ratings, an independent credit review function assesses the appropriateness of the credit risk ratings assigned to loans and leases on a regular basis. The credit risk ratings assigned to every loan and lease are as follows:
High Pass: (Risk ratings 1-2) Loans and leases rated as "high pass" exhibit a favorable credit profile and have minimal risk characteristics. Repayment in full is expected, even in adverse economic conditions.
Pass: (Risk ratings 3-4) Loans and leases rated as "pass" are not adversely classified and collection and repayment in full are expected.
Special Mention: (Risk rating 5) Loans and leases rated as "special mention" have a potential weakness that requires management's attention. If not addressed, these potential weaknesses may result in further deterioration in the borrower's ability to repay the loan or lease.
Substandard: (Risk rating 6) Loans and leases rated as "substandard" have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the collection of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that we will sustain some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.
Doubtful: (Risk rating 7) Loans and leases rated as "doubtful" have all the weaknesses of those rated as "substandard," with the additional trait that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full highly questionable and improbable.
In addition, we may refer to the loans and leases with assigned credit risk ratings of "substandard" and "doubtful" together as "classified" loans and leases. For further information on classified loans and leases, see Note 4. Loans and Leases of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) contained in "Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)."
In addition to our internal risk rating process, our federal and state banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s loan and lease risk rating classifications. Our regulators may require the Company to recognize rating downgrades based on their judgments related to information available to them at the time of their examinations. Risk rating downgrades generally result in increases in the provisions for credit losses and the allowance for credit losses.
The qualitative portion of the reserve on pooled loans and leases represents management’s judgment of additional considerations to account for internal and external risk factors that are not adequately measured in the quantitative reserve. The qualitative loss factors consider idiosyncratic risk factors, conditions that may not be reflected in quantitatively derived results, or other relevant factors to ensure the allowance for credit losses reflects our best estimate of current expected credit losses. Current and forecasted economic trends and underlying market values for collateral dependent loans are generally considered to be encompassed within our CECL quantitative methodology and component of the reserve. An incremental qualitative adjustment may be considered when economic forecasts exhibit higher levels of volatility or uncertainty.
74


In calculating our allowance for credit losses in the second quarter of 2020, we continued to consider the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our processes outlined above given the changes in economic forecasts and assumptions along with the uncertainty as to the severity and duration of the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our methodology and framework is consistent with the description above and consistent with what we did in the first quarter as we did not change any of the macroeconomic variables themselves, such as GDP, unemployment, BBB spreads and the CRE index, used in our models; nor did we change our loan segmentation, our reasonable and supportable forecast period of four quarters or our reversion period of two quarters. Other assumptions which are assessed and updated on an annual basis in the second quarter were updated including our estimated prepayment rates and our expected future utilization rates for the reserve for unfunded commitments. In the second quarter, we used the Moody’s Consensus Scenario Forecast dated June 11, 2020 for our quantitative component, unlike the first quarter when we used the Moody’s Baseline Forecast dated March 27, 2020, as the Consensus Scenario Forecast at that time was considered stale due to the fact it was dated March 12, 2020 and was not updated to reflect the pandemic and rapidly changing environment. Similar to the first quarter, we made additional adjustments to the quantitative calculation due to regression model limitations caused by the sudden and unprecedented changes in macroeconomic variables and for imprecision inherent in the economic forecasts. Consistent with our allowance for credit losses methodology, we also incorporated the qualitative factors as prescribed in U.S. GAAP and existing regulatory guidance.
The other qualitative criteria we consider when establishing the loss factors include the following:
Legal and Regulatory - matters that could impact our borrowers’ ability to repay our loans and leases;
Concentrations - loan and lease portfolio composition and any loan concentrations;
Collateral Dependency - considers changes in collateral values;
Lending Policy - current lending policies and the effects of any new policies or policy amendments;
Nature and Volume - loan and lease production volume and mix;
Problem Loan Trends - loan and lease portfolio credit performance trends, including a borrower's financial condition, credit rating, and ability to meet loan payment requirements;
Loan Review - results of independent credit review; and
Management - changes in management related to credit administration functions.
We estimate the reserve for unfunded loan commitments using the same PD, LGD, and prepayment rates as used for the allowance for loan and lease losses. The reserve for unfunded loan commitments is computed using expected future utilization rates of the unfunded commitments during the contractual life of the commitments based on historical usage of unfunded commitments for the various loan types from the first quarter of 2015 to the fourth quarter of 2019. The utilization rates are updated on an annual basis during the second quarter.
Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate for the current expected credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio and the credit risk ratings and inherent loss rates currently assigned are reasonable and appropriate as of the reporting date. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different conclusions that could result in a significant impact to the Company's financial statements. In addition, current credit risk ratings are subject to change as we continue to monitor our loans and leases. To the extent we experience increased levels of borrower loan defaults, borrowers’ noncompliance with loan agreements, adverse changes in collateral values, or changes in economic and business conditions that adversely affect our borrowers, classified loans and leases may increase. Higher levels of classified loans and leases generally result in increased provisions for credit losses and an increased allowance for credit losses. In addition, economic forecasts utilized in the estimation process will change in future periods, which will result in changes to the estimates made for current expected credit losses as of a point in time. However, as noted above, economic forecasts are just one of many assumptions and components that go into estimating the allowance for credit losses.
75


The CECL methodology requires a significant amount of management judgment in determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses. Most of the steps in the methodology involve judgment and are subjective in nature including, among other things, selection of the most reliable econometric regression models, segmentation of the loan and lease portfolio, determining the amount of loss history to consider, determining the relevant macroeconomic inputs to the quantitative models, determining the methodology to forecast prepayments, selection of the most appropriate economic forecast scenario, determining the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast and reversion periods, determining expected utilization rates on unfunded loan commitments and determining relevant and appropriate qualitative factors. In addition, the CECL methodology is dependent on economic forecasts which are inherently imprecise and will change from period to period. Although we have established an allowance for credit losses that we consider appropriate, there can be no assurance that the allowance will be sufficient to absorb future losses.
As noted above, the use of different economic forecasts, whether based on different scenarios or updated economic forecasts and scenarios, will change the outcome of the calculations. However, there are numerous components and assumptions that are integral to the overall allowance for credit losses calculation process. As part of our allowance for credit losses process, sensitivity analyses are performed to assess the impact of how changing certain assumptions could impact the loan portfolio and allowance for credit losses calculations. At times these analyses can provide information to further assist management in making decisions on certain assumptions. However, changing one assumption and not reassessing other assumptions used in the quantitative or qualitative process could yield results that are not reasonable or appropriate, hence all assumptions and information must be considered. From a sensitivity analysis perspective, changing key assumptions such as the macro-economic variable inputs from the economic forecasts, the reasonable and supportable forecast period, prepayment rates, loan segmentation, historical loss factors and/or periods, among others, would all change the outcome of the quantitative components of the allowance for credit losses. Those results would, however, then need to be assessed from a qualitative perspective potentially requiring further adjustments to the qualitative component to arrive at a reasonable and appropriate allowance for credit losses. The determination of the allowance for credit losses is complex and highly dependent on numerous models, assumptions and judgments made by management. Management's current expectation for credit losses as quantified in the allowance for credit losses considers the impact of assumptions and is reflective of historical credit experience, economic forecasts viewed to be reasonable and supportable, current loan and lease composition, and relative credit risks known as of the balance sheet date.

During the second quarter of 2020, total deposits increased by $3.4 billion to $22.9 billion, due mainly to increases of $3.5 billion in core deposits and $381.1 million in non-core non-maturity deposits, offset partially by a decrease of $513.7 million in time deposits. The $3.5 billion increase in core deposits in the second quarter was driven by PPP loan proceeds being deposited into customers' accounts and venture banking which saw deposits increase by $2.0 billion to a record $8.7 billion at June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, core deposits totaled $19.5 billion, or 85% of total deposits, including $8.6 billion of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, or 38% of total deposits.

During the second quarter of 2020, nonaccrual loan and leases held for investment increased by $70.5 million to $166.1 million at June 30, 2020 due mainly to the addition of two retail real estate loans and one security monitoring loan. As of June 30, 2020, the Company's three largest loan relationships on nonaccrual status had an aggregate carrying value of $86.5 million and represented 52% of total nonaccrual loans and leases.

Classified and special mention loans and leases fluctuate from period to period as a result of loan repayments and downgrades or upgrades from our ongoing active portfolio management.
During the second quarter of 2020, classified loans and leases increased by $145.5 million to $293.2 million at June 30, 2020. This increase was due mostly to three security monitoring loans totaling $119.2 million and two retail real estate loans totaling $42.0 million migrating out of special mention and into the classified category.
During the second quarter of 2020, special mention loans and leases decreased by $132.3 million to $766.4 million at June 30, 2020. This decrease was due primarily to loan downgrades into the classified category discussed above.

Regulatory Matters
Capital
Bank regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy through standardized risk-based capital guidelines that compare different levels of capital (as defined by such guidelines) to risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet obligations. At June 30, 2020, banks considered to be “well capitalized” must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00%, a minimum common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.50%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.00%, and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 10.00%.
Basel III currently requires all banking organizations to maintain a 2.50% capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer is exclusively comprised of common equity tier 1 capital, and it applies to each of the three risk-based capital ratios but not to the leverage ratio. Effective January 1, 2019, the common equity tier 1, tier 1, and total capital ratio minimums inclusive of the capital conservation buffer were 7.00%, 8.50%, and 10.50%. At June 30, 2020, the Company and Bank were in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirement. The Company and Bank elected the CECL 5-year transition guidance for calculating regulatory capital ratios and the June 30, 2020 ratios include this election. This guidance allows an entity to add back to capital 100% of the capital impact from the day one CECL transition adjustment and 25% of subsequent increases to the allowance for credit losses through December 31, 2022. This cumulative amount will then be phased out of regulatory capital over the next three years. The add-back as of June 30, 2020 added approximately 20 basis points to the capital ratios below.
The following tables present a comparison of our actual capital ratios to the minimum required ratios and well capitalized ratios as of the dates indicated:

Subordinated Debentures
We issued or assumed through mergers subordinated debentures to trusts that were established by us or entities we acquired, which, in turn, issued trust preferred securities. The carrying value of subordinated debentures totaled $460.8 million at June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, none of the trust preferred securities were included in the Company's Tier I capital under the phase-out limitations of Basel III, and $446.9 million were included in Tier II capital.
Dividends on Common Stock and Interest on Subordinated Debentures
As a bank holding company, PacWest is required to notify and receive approval from the FRB prior to declaring and paying a dividend to stockholders during any period in which quarterly and/or cumulative twelve-month net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount, among other requirements. Interest payments made on subordinated debentures are considered dividend payments under FRB regulations. We may not pay a dividend if the FRB objects or until such time as we receive approval from the FRB or we no longer need to provide notice under applicable regulations. Due to the impact of the goodwill impairment charge on net earnings in the first quarter of 2020, we are now required to receive such approval from the FRB prior to declaring a dividend. We received the FRB approval for our second quarter dividend and are currently awaiting their approval for our third quarter dividend. We expect to make an announcement on our dividends in August and anticipate similar timing, such as the second month following quarter-end, in future periods as long as this approval is required.

Liquidity Management
The goals of our liquidity management are to ensure the ability of the Company to meet its financial commitments when contractually due and to respond to other demands for funds such as the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers who have unfunded commitments. We have an Executive Management Asset/Liability Management Committee ("Executive ALM Committee") that is comprised of members of senior management and is responsible for managing commitments to meet the needs of customers while achieving our financial objectives. Our Executive ALM Committee meets regularly to review funding capacities, current and forecasted loan demand, and investment opportunities.
We manage our liquidity by maintaining pools of liquid assets on-balance sheet, consisting of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions, and unpledged securities available-for-sale, which we refer to as our primary liquidity. We also maintain available borrowing capacity under secured borrowing lines with the FHLB and the FRBSF, which we refer to as our secondary liquidity.

As a member of the FHLB, the Bank had secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $4.20 billion at June 30, 2020, of which $4.19 billion was available on that date. The FHLB secured credit line was collateralized by a blanket lien on $6.4 billion of certain qualifying loans. The Bank also had secured borrowing capacity with the FRBSF of $1.6 billion at June 30, 2020, all of which was available on that date. The FRBSF secured credit line was collateralized by liens on $2.2 billion of qualifying loans.
In addition to its secured lines of credit, the Bank also maintains unsecured lines of credit for the purpose of borrowing overnight funds, subject to availability, of $112.0 million with the FHLB and $180.0 million in the aggregate with several correspondent banks. As of June 30, 2020, there was no balance outstanding related to the FHLB unsecured line of credit. The Bank is a member of the AFX, through which it may either borrow or lend funds on an overnight or short-term basis with a group of pre-approved commercial banks. The availability of funds changes daily. As of June 30, 2020, the Bank had $50.0 million of borrowings outstanding through the AFX.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company's primary liquidity increased by $3.3 billion to $5.1 billion at June 30, 2020 due mainly to a $1.9 billion decrease in pledged securities, a $1.3 billion increase in interest-earning deposits in financial institutions, and a $93.5 million increase in securities available-for-sale. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company's secondary liquidity decreased by $226.6 million to $5.7 billion at June 30, 2020 due to a $346.5 million decrease in available borrowing capacity on the secured credit line with the FRBSF, offset partially by a $119.9 million increase in available secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB. The increase in the available secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB resulted primarily from a $1.9 billion decrease in the amount borrowed from the secured borrowing line with the FHLB, offset partially by a $1.8 billion decrease in the FHLB borrowing capacity due to the decrease in pledged securities.
In addition to our primary liquidity, we generate liquidity from cash flows from our loan and securities portfolios and from our large base of core deposits, defined as noninterest-bearing demand, interest checking, savings, and non-brokered money market accounts. At June 30, 2020, core deposits totaled $19.5 billion and represented 85% of the Company's total deposits. Core deposits are normally less volatile, often with customer relationships tied to other products offered by the Bank promoting long-standing relationships and stable funding sources. See "- Balance Sheet Analysis - Deposits" for additional information and detail of our core deposits.
86


Our deposit balances may decrease if customers withdraw funds from the Bank. In order to address the Bank’s liquidity risk from fluctuating deposit balances, the Bank maintains adequate levels of available liquidity on and off the balance sheet.
We use brokered deposits, the availability of which is uncertain and subject to competitive market forces and regulation, for liquidity management purposes. At June 30, 2020, brokered deposits totaled $1.9 billion, consisting primarily of $718.3 million of brokered time deposits and $1.2 billion of non-maturity brokered accounts. At December 31, 2019, brokered deposits totaled $1.7 billion, consisting mainly of $1.2 billion of brokered time deposits and $496.4 million of non-maturity brokered accounts.
Our liquidity policy includes guidelines for On-Balance Sheet Liquidity (a measurement of primary liquidity to total deposits plus borrowings), Liquidity Buffer Coverage Ratio (the ratio of cash and unpledged securities to the estimated 30 day cash outflow in a defined stress scenario), Liquidity Stress Test Survival Horizon (the number of days that the Bank’s liquidity buffer plus available secured borrowing capacity is sufficient to offset cumulative cash outflow in a defined stress scenario), Loan to Funding Ratio (measurement of gross loans net of fees divided by deposits plus borrowings), Wholesale Funding Ratio (measurement of wholesale funding divided by interest-earning assets), and other guidelines developed for measuring and maintaining liquidity. At June 30, 2020, the Bank was in compliance with all of our established liquidity guidelines.
Holding Company Liquidity
PacWest acts a source of financial strength for the Bank which can also include being a source of liquidity. The primary sources of liquidity for the holding company include dividends from the Bank, intercompany tax payments from the Bank, and PacWest's ability to raise capital, issue subordinated debt, and secure outside borrowings. Our ability to obtain funds for the payment of dividends to our stockholders, the repurchase of shares of common stock, and other cash requirements is largely dependent upon the Bank’s earnings. The Bank is subject to restrictions under certain federal and state laws and regulations that limit its ability to transfer funds to the holding company through intercompany loans, advances, or cash dividends. Our ability to pay dividends is also subject to the restrictions set forth in Delaware law, by the FRB, and by certain covenants contained in our subordinated debentures. Approval by the FRB is also required prior to our declaring and paying a cash dividend during any period in which our quarterly and/or cumulative twelve-month net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount, among other requirements. We may not pay a dividend if the FRB objects or until such time as we receive approval from the FRB or we no longer need to provide notice under applicable regulations. In addition, we may be restricted by applicable law or regulation or actions taken by our regulators, now or in the future, from paying dividends to our stockholders. Due to the impact of the goodwill impairment charge on net income in the first quarter of 2020, we are now required to receive approval from the FRB, as described above, prior to declaring a dividend.
Dividends paid by California state-chartered banks are regulated by the FDIC and the DBO under their general supervisory authority as it relates to a bank’s capital requirements. The Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the DBO and FDIC as long as the total dividends declared in a calendar year do not exceed either the retained earnings or the total of net earnings for the three previous fiscal years less any dividends paid during such period. The Bank's net earnings during the three fiscal years of 2019, 2018, and 2017 exceeded dividends paid by the Bank during that same period by $34.8 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, PacWest received $35.0 million and $192.0 million in dividends from the Bank. Since the Bank had an accumulated deficit of $2.1 billion at June 30, 2020, for the foreseeable future any dividends from the Bank to the holding company will continue to require DBO and FDIC approval consistent with what has been required since 2008 when Bank first had an accumulated deficit triggered by goodwill impairment write-downs during the last financial crisis in 2008.
At June 30, 2020, PacWest had $113.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which substantially all is on deposit at the Bank. We believe this amount of cash, along with anticipated future dividends from the Bank, will be sufficient to fund the holding company’s cash flow needs over the next 12 months.

Stock Repurchase Programs
In February 2020, we repurchased 1,953,711 shares of common stock for a total amount of $70.0 million at an average price of $35.83 under the former Stock Repurchase Program. All shares repurchased under the former Stock Repurchase Program were retired upon settlement.
On February 12, 2020, PacWest's Board of Directors authorized a new Stock Repurchase Program to purchase shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $200 million until February 28, 2021, effective upon the maturity of the former Stock Repurchase Program on February 29, 2020. No shares have been repurchased under the new Stock Repurchase Program and the entire $200 million is remaining at June 30, 2020. On April 21, 2020, stock repurchases under the new Stock Repurchase Program were suspended indefinitely.

_______________________________________ 
(1) Excludes purchase accounting fair value adjustments.
(2) Excludes interest on subordinated debentures as these instruments are variable rate.
Long-term debt obligations include subordinated debentures. Debt obligations are also discussed in Note 9. Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) contained in “Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).” Operating lease obligations are discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The other contractual obligations relate to our minimum liability associated with our data and item processing contract with a third-party provider, commitments to contribute capital to investments in low income housing project partnerships and private equity funds, and commitments under deferred compensation arrangements.
We believe that we will be able to meet our contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate liquidity levels. We expect to maintain adequate liquidity levels through profitability, loan and lease payoffs, securities repayments and maturities, and continued deposit gathering activities. We also have in place various borrowing mechanisms for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our obligations also include off-balance sheet arrangements consisting of loan commitments, of which only a portion is expected to be funded, and standby letters of credit. At June 30, 2020, our loan commitments and standby letters of credit were $7.7 billion and $365.8 million. The loan commitments, a portion of which will eventually result in funded loans, increase our profitability through net interest income when drawn and unused commitment fees prior to being drawn. We manage our overall liquidity taking into consideration funded and unfunded commitments as a percentage of our liquidity sources. Our liquidity sources, as described in "- Liquidity - Liquidity Management," have been and are expected to be sufficient to meet the cash requirements of our lending activities. For further information on loan commitments, see Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) contained in "Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)."

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
This analysis should be read in conjunction with text under the caption "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which text is incorporated herein by reference. Our analysis of market risk and market-sensitive financial information contains forward-looking statements and is subject to the disclosure at the beginning of Item 2 regarding such forward-looking information.
Market Risk - Foreign Currency Exchange
We enter into foreign exchange contracts with our clients and counterparty banks primarily for the purpose of offsetting or hedging clients' foreign currency exposures arising out of commercial transactions, and we enter into cross currency swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge exposures to loans and debt instruments denominated in foreign currencies. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our net earnings as a result of transaction gains or losses related to revaluing certain asset and liability balances that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, and the derivatives that hedge those exposures. As of June 30, 2020, the U.S. Dollar notional amounts of loans receivable and subordinated debentures payable denominated in foreign currencies were $48.0 million and $29.0 million, and the U.S. Dollar notional amounts of derivatives outstanding to hedge these foreign currency exposures were $51.8 million and $28.5 million. We recognized a foreign currency translation net loss of $614,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and a foreign currency translation net gain of $57,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest Rate Risk
We measure our IRR position on a monthly basis using two methods: (i) NII simulation analysis; and (ii) MVE modeling. The Executive ALM Committee and the Board Asset/Liability Management Committee review the results of these analyses quarterly. If hypothetical changes to interest rates cause changes to our simulated net present value of equity and/or net interest income outside our pre-established limits, we may adjust our asset and liability mix in an effort to bring our interest rate risk exposure within our established limits.
We evaluated the results of our NII simulation model and MVE model prepared as of June 30, 2020, the results of which are presented below. Our NII simulation and MVE model indicate that our balance sheet is asset-sensitive. An asset-sensitive profile would suggest that a sudden sustained increase in rates would result in an increase in our estimated NII and MVE, while a liability-sensitive profile would suggest that these amounts would decrease.
Net Interest Income Simulation
We used a NII simulation model to measure the estimated changes in NII that would result over the next 12 months from immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2020. This model is an interest rate risk management tool and the results are not necessarily an indication of our future net interest income. This model has inherent limitations and these results are based on a given set of rate changes and assumptions at one point in time. We have assumed no growth or changes in the product mix of either our total interest-sensitive assets or liabilities over the next 12 months, therefore the results reflect an interest rate shock to a static balance sheet.
This analysis calculates the difference between NII forecasted using both increasing and decreasing interest rate scenarios using the forward yield curve at June 30, 2020. In order to arrive at the base case, we extend our balance sheet at June 30, 2020 one year and reprice any assets and liabilities that would contractually reprice or mature during that period using the products’ pricing as of June 30, 2020. Based on such repricing, we calculate an estimated NII and NIM for each rate scenario.
89


The NII simulation model is dependent upon numerous assumptions. For example, the majority of our loans are variable rate, which are assumed to reprice in accordance with their contractual terms. Some loans and investment securities include the opportunity of prepayment (embedded options) and the simulation model uses prepayment assumptions to estimate these prepayments and reinvest these proceeds at current simulated yields. Our interest-bearing deposits reprice at our discretion and are assumed to reprice at a rate less than the change in market rates. The 12-month NII simulation model as of June 30, 2020 assumes interest-bearing deposits reprice at 32% of the change in market rates in a rising interest rate scenario, depending on the amount of the rate change (this is commonly referred to as the "deposit beta"). The effects of certain balance sheet attributes, such as fixed-rate loans, variable-rate loans that have reached their floors, and the volume of noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of earning assets, impact our assumptions and consequently the results of our NII simulation model. Additionally, we assume that all market interest rates have an interest rate floor of 0%. Changes that could vary significantly from our assumptions include loan and deposit growth or contraction, loan and deposit pricing, changes in the mix of earning assets or funding sources, and future asset/liability management decisions, all of which may have significant effects on our net interest income.
The following table presents forecasted net interest income and net interest margin for the next 12 months using the static balance sheet and forward yield curve as the base scenario, with immediate and sustained parallel upward movements in interest rates of 100, 200, and 300 basis points and sustained parallel downward movements in interest rates of 25, 50, and 100 basis points as of the date indicated:

Down 100 basis points$1,002.8  (0.2)%4.07%(0.01)%

During the second quarter of 2020, total base case year 1 tax equivalent NII decreased by $3.6 million to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2020, and the base case tax equivalent NIM decreased to 4.08% from 4.20%. The decrease in NII was attributable primarily to lower loan income due to unfavorable rate and volume changes, offset partially by lower cost of funds due to the shift in the funding mix from borrowings to core deposits. The decrease in NIM was due almost entirely to the quarter-over-quarter shift in the earning assets mix in the static balance sheet, as the balance of low yielding interest-earning deposits in financial institutions increased by $1.3 billion from the large increase in core deposits during the second quarter. A portion of the core deposits increase relates to activity of a large Venture Banking customer and to deposits from PPP loan originations which are not expected to remain over the long term.
In addition to parallel interest rate shock scenarios, we also model various alternative rate vectors. The most favorable alternate rate vector that we model is the “Bear Flattener” scenario, when short-term rates increase faster than long-term rates. In the “Bear Flattener” scenario, Year 1 tax equivalent NII increases by 6.6%. Because of the low level of market interest rates and the assumption that market rates contain a 0% floor, the ad hoc scenarios that assume decreasing interest rates do not differ materially from the base case scenario.

At June 30, 2020, we had $19.8 billion of total loans that included $11.0 billion with variable interest rate terms (excluding hybrid loans discussed below). Of the variable interest rate loans, $9.0 billion, or 81%, contained interest rate floor provisions, which included $8.8 billion of loans with "in-the-money" floors, meaning the loan coupon will not adjust down if there are future decreases to the index interest rate. The following table summarizes the estimated balance of loans with "in-the-money" floors for the indicated increases in interest rates:

50 bps$6,715
100 bps$4,872
150 bps$2,912
200 bps$1,028
250 bps$154
At June 30, 2020, we also had $3.7 billion of variable-rate hybrid loans that do not immediately reprice because the loans contain an initial fixed-rate period before they become variable. The cumulative amounts of hybrid loans that would switch from being fixed-rate to variable-rate because the initial fixed-rate term would expire were approximately $299 million, $749 million, and $1.3 billion in the next one, two, and three years.
LIBOR is expected to be phased out after 2021, as such the Company is assessing the impacts of this transition and exploring alternatives to use in place of LIBOR.  The business processes impacted relate primarily to our variable-rate loans and our subordinated debentures, both of which are indexed to LIBOR. For further information, see Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Market Value of Equity
We measure the impact of market interest rate changes on the net present value of estimated cash flows from our assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items, defined as the market value of equity, using our MVE model. This simulation model assesses the changes in the market value of our interest-sensitive financial instruments that would occur in response to an instantaneous and sustained increase in market interest rates of 100, 200, and 300 basis points and sustained decrease in market interest rates of 50 and 100 basis points. This analysis assigns significant value to our noninterest-bearing deposit balances. The projections include various assumptions regarding cash flows and interest rates and are by their nature forward-looking and inherently uncertain.
The MVE model is an interest rate risk management tool and the results are not necessarily an indication of our actual future results. Actual results may vary significantly from the results suggested by the market value of equity table. Loan prepayments and deposit attrition, changes in the mix of our earning assets or funding sources, and future asset/liability management decisions, among others, may vary significantly from our assumptions. The base case is determined by applying various current market discount rates to the estimated cash flows from the different types of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items existing at June 30, 2020.

During the second quarter of 2020, total base case projected market value of equity increased by $441 million to $5.1 billion. This increase in base case projected MVE was due primarily to: (1) a $662 million increase in the mark-to-market adjustment for loans and leases due to the impact of lower credit spreads used for calculating the valuation; and (2) a $63 million increase in the book value of stockholders' equity due mainly to $33 million of net earnings and a $54 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, offset partially by $30 million of cash dividends paid; offset partially by (3) a $288 million increase in the mark-to-market adjustment for total deposits from the lower market interest rates used for the deposit valuation.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company's management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information set forth in Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) is incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, in the ordinary course of our business, we are party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. The outcome of such legal actions and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict. In the opinion of management, based upon information currently available to us, any resulting liability, in addition to amounts already accrued, and taking into consideration insurance which may be applicable, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements or operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
For information regarding factors that could affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors disclosed in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. See also "Forward-Looking Information" disclosed in Part I, Item 2 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the updated Risk Factors below.

Since March 13, 2020, the United States has been operating under a state of emergency declared by President Trump in response to the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 and related governmental responses have affected economic and financial market conditions as well as the operations, results, and prospects of companies across many industries. In connection with the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and the Company, the Company has supplemented the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as follows:
General Economic and Market Conditions Risk
The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and resulting economic conditions have adversely impacted our business operations, asset valuations and financial results, and the ultimate impact on our business and financial results is uncertain.
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has created economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected, and are likely to continue to adversely affect, our business operations, asset valuations and financial results. The pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and increased unemployment levels at an unprecedented pace. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the practice of social distancing and stay-at-home requirements in many states and communities. As a result, the demand for our products and services may be significantly impacted. Disruptions to our customers could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and losses on our loans. The escalation of the pandemic may also negatively impact economic conditions for a period of time, resulting in declines in loan demand, liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral values (particularly in real estate), and deposit outflows.
93


Furthermore, the pandemic has influenced and could further influence the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and has increased and could further increase our allowance for credit losses, particularly as businesses remain closed and as more customers may draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses.
Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, the securities we hold may lose value. The volatility in the equity markets has already impacted our asset valuations, as evidenced by our goodwill impairment charge in the first quarter, and asset valuations of goodwill or other assets could be further impacted depending on future developments caused by COVID-19.
Our business operations may also be disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic. To protect the health and safety of our employees and communities, we have temporarily closed certain of our branches and offices and many of our employees are working remotely. We may experience operational difficulties, including increased cybersecurity risk, due to the remote working environments of our employees. We may also experience additional operational risk due to difficulties experienced by our third-party service providers.
Because there have been no comparable recent global pandemics that resulted in a similar impact on the U.S. economy, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business operations, asset valuations and financial results will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. These include the scope and duration of the pandemic, the continued effectiveness of our business continuity plan, the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our employees, customers and third-party service providers, as well as other market participants, and the effectiveness of actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks, although the rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any specific prediction as to its ultimate impact on us. However, if the pandemic continues to spread or otherwise results in a continuation or worsening of the current economic and commercial environments, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to pay dividends, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios could be materially adversely affected and many of the risks described in our 2019 Form 10-K will be heightened.
Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Risk
Our participation in the SBA PPP loan program exposes us to risks related to noncompliance with the PPP, as well as litigation risk related to our administration of the PPP loan program, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company is a participating lender in the PPP, a loan program administered through the SBA, that was created to help eligible businesses, organizations and self-employed persons fund their operational costs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program, the SBA guarantees 100% of the amounts loaned under the PPP. The PPP opened on April 3, 2020; however, because of the short window between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, there is some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, which exposes the Company to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP. For instance, other financial institutions have experienced litigation related to their process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company may be exposed to credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced. If a deficiency is identified, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from the Company.
