See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this Report for terms used herein. These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The information contained in the financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
 
Reclassifications

Cash and cash equivalents includes restricted cash for the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Certain other amounts reported in prior periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the ACL, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of MSRs, goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.

Derivative Financial Instruments

BB&T historically assessed the effectiveness of accounting hedges using the long-haul method. In conjunction with the adoption of new hedge accounting guidance, the shortcut method was added to the methods BB&T uses to assess effectiveness. The selection of methods depends on the facts and circumstances specific to each hedge. The shortcut method is applied to hedges that achieve perfect offset. For hedges that are not eligible for the shortcut method, an initial quantitative analysis is performed to demonstrate that the hedges are expected to be highly effective in off-setting corresponding changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. At least quarterly thereafter, analyses are performed to ensure that each hedge remains highly effective. Quantitative analyses referred to as a long-haul methodology include techniques such as regression analysis and hypothetical derivatives.

Revenue Recognition

In addition to lending and related activities, BB&T offers various services to customers that generate revenue. Contract performance typically occurs in one year or less. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when incurred when the amortization period is one year or less. As of March 31, 2018, remaining performance obligations consisted primarily of insurance and investment banking services for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Insurance income

Insurance commissions are received on the sale of insurance products, and revenue is recognized upon the placement date of the insurance policies. Payment is normally received within the policy period. In addition to placement, BB&T also provides insurance policy related risk management services. Revenue is recognized as these services are provided. Performance-based commissions are recognized when received or earlier when, upon consideration of past results and current conditions, the revenue is deemed not probable of reversal.

Transaction and service based revenues

Transaction and service based revenues include service charges on deposits, investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions, trust and investment advisory revenues, bankcard fees and merchant discounts, and checkcard fees. Revenue is recognized when the transactions occur or as services are performed over primarily monthly or quarterly periods. Payment is typically received in the period the transactions occur or, in some cases, within 90 days of the service period. Fees may be fixed or, where applicable, based on a percentage of transaction size or managed assets.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements
Standard/
Adoption Date
Description
Effects on the Financial Statements
Standards Adopted During the Current Period
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Jan 1, 2018
Requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
BB&T adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective approach for in-scope contracts at the date of adoption. The impact was not material.
Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
Jan 1, 2018
Requires that the service cost component of net benefit costs of pension and postretirement benefit plans be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in a separate line item.

The service cost component is included in personnel expense and the other components of net benefit costs are included in other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The prior period was reclassified to conform to the current presentation. See Note 11. Benefit Plans.
Derivatives and Hedging
Jan 1, 2018
Expands the risk management activities that qualify for hedge accounting, and simplifies certain hedge documentation and assessment requirements. Eliminates the concept of separately recording hedge ineffectiveness, and expands disclosure requirements.
BB&T early adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective approach. The impact was not material. New required disclosures have been included in Note 14. Derivative Financial Instruments.
Standards Not Yet Adopted
Leases
Jan 1, 2019
Requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities related to certain operating leases on the balance sheet, requires additional disclosures by lessees, and contains targeted changes to accounting by lessors.
BB&T expects assets and liabilities will likely be significantly higher. Implementation efforts are ongoing, including implementation of software solutions.
Credit Losses
Jan 1, 2020
Replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with an expected credit loss methodology and requires consideration of a broader range of information to determine credit loss estimates. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. Purchased credit deteriorated loans will receive an allowance for expected credit losses. Any credit impairment on AFS debt securities for which the fair value is less than cost will be recorded through an allowance for expected credit losses.
BB&T expects that the ACL could be materially higher; however, the magnitude of the increase and its impact has not yet been quantified and depends on economic conditions at the time of adoption. The standard also requires expanded disclosures related to credit losses and asset quality.

NOTE 2. Securities

In conjunction with the adoption of new accounting standards, an immaterial amount of HTM securities was transferred to AFS securities and an immaterial amount of equity securities was transferred from AFS securities to other assets in the first quarter of 2018.

Certain investments in marketable debt securities and MBS issued by FNMA and FHLMC exceeded 10% of shareholders' equity at March 31, 2018. The FNMA investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $14.6 billion and $14.0 billion, respectively. The FHLMC investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $10.5 billion and $10.1 billion, respectively.
 
Changes in credit losses on securities with OTTI where a portion of the unrealized loss was recognized in OCI were immaterial for all periods presented.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the securities portfolio by contractual maturity are shown in the following table. The expected life of MBS may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay the underlying mortgage loans with or without prepayment penalties.

The unrealized losses on U.S. Treasury securities, GSE securities and Agency MBS were the result of increases in market interest rates compared to the date the securities were acquired rather than the credit quality of the issuers or underlying loans.
 
At March 31, 2018, the majority of the unrealized loss on states and political subdivisions securities was the result of fair value hedge basis adjustments that are a component of amortized cost. These securities are evaluated for credit impairment through a qualitative analysis of issuer performance and the primary source of repayment. At March 31, 2018, none of these securities had credit impairment.

Charge-offs and forgiveness of principal and interest for TDRs were immaterial for all periods presented.
 
The pre-default balance for modifications that had been classified as TDRs during the previous 12 months that experienced a payment default was $23 million and $28 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Payment default is defined as movement of the TDR to nonaccrual status, foreclosure or charge-off, whichever occurs first.

Unearned income, discounts and net deferred loan fees and costs were immaterial. Residential mortgage loans in process of foreclosure were $298 million at March 31, 2018 and $288 million at December 31, 2017.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the above table, the effect of an adverse variation in one assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

FHLB advances had a weighted average maturity of 3.6 years at March 31, 2018.

The effective rates above reflect the impact of fair value hedges and debt issuance costs. Subordinated notes with a remaining maturity of one year or greater qualify under the risk-based capital guidelines as Tier 2 supplementary capital, subject to certain limitations.

During 2017, Branch Bank terminated FHLB advances totaling $2.9 billion of par value, which resulted in a pre-tax loss on early extinguishment of debt totaling $392 million.

NOTE 10. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were 19.0% and 19.6%, respectively. The current quarter tax provision reflects the lower federal income tax rate enacted with tax reform in December of 2017. The earlier quarter includes the tax benefits associated with using the marginal income tax rate for the loss on the early extinguishment of debt.

BB&T makes contributions to the qualified pension plans in amounts between the minimum required for funding and the maximum deductible for federal income tax purposes. Discretionary contributions totaling $144 million were made during the three months ended March 31, 2018. There are no required contributions for the remainder of 2018, though BB&T may elect to make additional discretionary contributions.

Legal Proceedings

The nature of BB&T's business ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. BB&T believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding legal proceedings and, with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management's judgment as to what is in the best interests of BB&T and its shareholders.
 
On at least a quarterly basis, liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings are assessed utilizing the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that BB&T will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, and is more than nominal, a liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on at least a quarterly basis. For other matters, where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, legal reserves are not accrued. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, management believes that the established legal reserves are adequate and the liabilities arising from legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows of BB&T.
 
Pledged Assets
 
Certain assets were pledged to secure municipal deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, borrowings and borrowing capacity, subject to any applicable asset discount, at the FHLB and FRB as well as for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants, with a three level valuation input hierarchy. The following discussion focuses on the valuation techniques and significant inputs for Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities.

A third-party pricing service is generally utilized in determining the fair value of the securities portfolio. Management independently evaluates the fair values provided by the pricing service through comparisons to other external pricing sources, review of additional information provided by the pricing service and other third party sources for selected securities and back-testing to compare the price realized on any security sales to the daily pricing information received from the pricing service. Fair value measurements are derived from market-based pricing matrices that were developed using observable inputs that include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, offers, bids, issuer spreads and broker quotes. As described by security type below, additional inputs may be used, or some inputs may not be applicable. In the event that market observable data was not available, which would generally occur due to the lack of an active market for a given security, the valuation of the security would be subjective and may involve substantial judgment by management.
 
Trading and equity securities: Trading and equity securities primarily consist of exchange traded equity securities, and debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, GSEs, or states and political subdivisions. The valuation techniques for debt securities are more fully discussed below.
 
U.S. Treasury securities: Treasury securities are valued using quoted prices in active over-the-counter markets.
 
GSE securities and agency MBS: GSE pass-through securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that reference observable inputs including benchmark TBA security pricing and yield curves that were estimated based on U.S. Treasury yields and certain floating rate indices. The pricing matrices for these securities may also give consideration to pool-specific data supplied directly by the GSE. GSE CMOs are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above.
 
States and political subdivisions: These securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that reference observable inputs including MSRB reported trades, issuer spreads, material event notices and benchmark yield curves.
 
Non-agency MBS: Pricing matrices for these securities are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above. Non-agency MBS also include investments in Re-REMIC trusts that primarily hold non-agency MBS, which are valued based on broker pricing models that use baseline securities yields and tranche-level yield adjustments to discount cash flows modeled using market convention prepayment speed and default assumptions.
 
Other securities: These securities consist primarily of corporate bonds. These securities are valued based on a review of quoted market prices for assets as well as through the various other inputs discussed previously.
 
LHFS: Certain mortgage loans are originated to be sold to investors, which are carried at fair value. The fair value is primarily based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage LHFS.
 
MSRs: Residential MSRs are valued using an OAS valuation model to project cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. Fair value estimates and assumptions are compared to industry surveys, recent market activity, actual portfolio experience and, when available, other observable market data. Commercial MSRs are valued using a cash flow valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows. BB&T considers actual and expected loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs and other economic factors that are determined based on current market conditions.
 
Derivative assets and liabilities: The fair values of derivatives are determined based on quoted market prices and internal pricing models that use market observable data. The fair values of interest rate lock commitments, which are related to mortgage loan commitments and are categorized as Level 3, are based on quoted market prices adjusted for commitments that are not expected to fund and include the value attributable to the net servicing fees.

Private equity investments: In many cases there are no observable market values for these investments and therefore management must estimate the fair value based on a comparison of the operating performance of the company to multiples in the marketplace for similar entities. This analysis requires significant judgment, and actual values in a sale could differ materially from those estimated.

BB&T’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of a reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for 2018 and 2017.
 
The non-agency MBS categorized as Level 3 represent ownership interest in various tranches of Re-REMIC trusts. These securities are valued at a discount, which is unobservable in the market, to the fair value of the underlying securities owned by the trusts. The Re-REMIC tranches do not have an active market and therefore are categorized as Level 3. At March 31, 2018, the fair value of Re-REMIC non-agency MBS represented a discount of 16.3% to the fair value of the underlying securities owned by the Re-REMIC trusts.

The majority of private equity investments are in SBIC qualified funds, which primarily focus on equity and subordinated debt investments in privately-held middle market companies. The majority of these VIE investments are not redeemable and distributions are received as the underlying assets of the funds liquidate. The timing of distributions, which are expected to occur on various dates on an approximately ratable basis through 2026, is uncertain and dependent on various events such as recapitalizations, refinance transactions and ownership changes among others. As of March 31, 2018, restrictions on the ability to sell the investments include, but are not limited to, consent of a majority member or general partner approval for transfer of ownership. These investments are spread over numerous privately-held middle market companies, and thus the sensitivity to a change in fair value for any single investment is limited. The significant unobservable inputs for these investments are EBITDA multiples that ranged from 5x to 15x, with a weighted average of 9x, at March 31, 2018.

The following table provides information about certain assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which are primarily collateral dependent and may be subject to liquidity adjustments. The carrying values represent end of period values, which approximate the fair value measurements that occurred on the various measurement dates throughout the period. The valuation adjustments represent the amounts recorded during the period regardless of whether the asset is still held at period end. These assets are considered to be Level 3 assets (excludes PCI).

For financial instruments not recorded at fair value, estimates of fair value are based on relevant market data and information about the instrument. Values obtained relate to one trading unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between various instruments.
 
An active market does not exist for certain financial instruments. Fair value estimates for these instruments are based on current economic conditions, currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.
 
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash: For these short-term instruments, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair values.
 
HTM securities: The fair values of HTM securities are based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, issuer spreads, current bids and offers, monthly payment information and collateral performance.
 
Loans receivable: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality, which are deemed to be indicative of orderly transactions in the current market. For commercial loans and leases, discount rates may be adjusted to address additional credit risk on lower risk grade instruments. For residential mortgage and other consumer loans, internal prepayment risk models are used to adjust contractual cash flows. Loans are aggregated into pools of similar terms and credit quality and discounted using a LIBOR based rate. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair values.

Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand deposits are equal to the amount payable on demand. Fair values for CDs are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to aggregate expected maturities. BB&T has developed long-term relationships with its deposit customers, commonly referred to as CDIs, that have not been considered in the determination of the deposit liabilities' fair value.
 
Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings, excluding securities sold short, approximate their fair values.
 
Long-term debt: The fair values of long-term debt instruments are estimated based on quoted market prices for the instrument if available, or for similar instruments if not available, or by using discounted cash flow analyses, based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.

Contractual commitments: The fair values of commitments are estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The fair values of guarantees and letters of credit are estimated based on the counterparties' creditworthiness and average default rates for loan products with similar risks. These respective fair value measurements are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Retail lending commitments are assigned no fair value as BB&T typically has the ability to cancel such commitments by providing notice to the borrower.

NOTE 14. Derivative Financial Instruments

The following table provides a summary of derivative strategies and the related accounting treatment:
 
 
Cash Flow Hedges
 
Fair Value Hedges
 
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Risk exposure
 
Variability in cash flows of interest payments on floating rate business loans, overnight funding and various LIBOR funding instruments.
 
Changes in value on fixed rate long-term debt, CDs, FHLB advances, loans and state and political subdivision securities due to changes in interest rates.
 
Risk associated with an asset or liability, including mortgage banking operations and MSRs, or for client needs. Includes exposure to changes in market rates and conditions subsequent to the interest rate lock and funding date for mortgage loans originated for sale.
Risk management objective
 
Hedge the variability in the interest payments and receipts on future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the first unhedged payments and receipts of variable interest.
 
Convert the fixed rate paid or received to a floating rate, primarily through the use of swaps.
 
For interest rate lock commitment derivatives and LHFS, use mortgage-based derivatives such as forward commitments and options to mitigate market risk. For MSRs, mitigate the income statement effect of changes in the fair value of the MSRs.
Treatment during the hedge period
 
Changes in value of the hedging instruments are recognized in AOCI until the related cash flows from the hedged item are recognized in earnings.
 
Changes in value of both the hedging instruments and the assets or liabilities being hedged are recognized in the income statement line item associated with the instrument being hedged.
 
Entire change in fair value recognized in current period income.
Treatment if hedge ceases to be highly effective or is terminated
 
Hedge is dedesignated. Changes in value recorded in AOCI before dedesignation are amortized to yield over the period the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings.
 
If hedged item remains outstanding, the basis adjustment that resulted from hedging is amortized into earnings over the lesser of the designated hedged period or the maturity date of the instrument, and cash flows from terminations are reported in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged item.
 
Not applicable
Treatment if transaction is no longer probable of occurring during forecast period or within a short period thereafter
 
Hedge accounting ceases and any gain or loss in AOCI is reported in earnings immediately.
 
Not applicable
 
Not applicable

Impact of Derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets

The fair values of derivative instruments are presented on a gross basis in other assets or other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Master netting arrangements allows counterparties to offset certain net derivative assets and liabilities with a defaulting party in determining the net termination amount. Collateral practices mitigate the potential loss impact to affected parties by requiring liquid collateral to be posted on a daily basis to secure the aggregate net exposure. Cash collateral is recorded in restricted cash and interest-bearing deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. BB&T utilizes the London Clearinghouse to clear swaps that are required to be cleared under the Dodd-Frank Act. Effective January 16, 2018, the London Clearinghouse rules were modified to treat variation margin payments as settlements of exposure instead of collateral. At March 31, 2018, settlements are applied against the fair value of the related derivative contracts in the table below.

Derivatives Credit Risk – Dealer Counterparties
 
Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable to the same counterparty. The risk of loss is addressed by subjecting dealer counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans or other extensions of credit and by requiring collateral. Dealer counterparties operate under agreements to provide cash and/or liquid collateral when unsecured loss positions exceed minimal limits.
 
Derivative contracts with dealer counterparties settle on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis, with daily movement of collateral between counterparties required within established netting agreements. BB&T only transacts with dealer counterparties with strong credit standings.

Derivatives Credit Risk – Central Clearing Parties
 
With the exception of the central clearing party used for TBA transactions that does not post variation margin to the bank, central clearing parties exchange cash on a daily basis to settle changes in exposure. Certain derivatives are cleared through central clearing parties that require initial margin collateral. Initial margin collateral requirements are established on varying bases, with such amounts generally designed to offset the risk of non-payment. Initial margin is generally calculated by applying the maximum loss experienced in value over a specified time horizon to the portfolio of existing trades.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, regarding the financial condition, results of operations, business plans and the future performance of BB&T that are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of BB&T and the information available to management at the time that these disclosures were prepared. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "projects," "may," "will," "should," "could," and other similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
l 
general economic or business conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, slower deposit and/or asset growth, and a deterioration in credit quality and/or a reduced demand for credit, insurance or other services;
l 
disruptions to the national or global financial markets, including the impact of a downgrade of U.S. government obligations by one of the credit ratings agencies, the economic instability and recessionary conditions in Europe, the eventual exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union;
l 
changes in the interest rate environment, including interest rate changes made by the Federal Reserve, as well as cash flow reassessments may reduce net interest margin and/or the volumes and values of loans and deposits as well as the value of other financial assets and liabilities;
l 
competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly;
l 
legislative, regulatory or accounting changes, including changes resulting from the adoption and implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act may adversely affect the businesses in which BB&T is engaged;
l 
local, state or federal taxing authorities may take tax positions that are adverse to BB&T;
l 
a reduction may occur in BB&T's credit ratings;
l 
adverse changes may occur in the securities markets;
l 
competitors of BB&T may have greater financial resources or develop products that enable them to compete more successfully than BB&T and may be subject to different regulatory standards than BB&T;
l 
cybersecurity risks could adversely affect BB&T's business and financial performance or reputation, and BB&T could be liable for financial losses incurred by third parties due to breaches of data shared between financial institutions;
l 
higher-than-expected costs related to information technology infrastructure or a failure to successfully implement future system enhancements could adversely impact BB&T's financial condition and results of operations and could result in significant additional costs to BB&T;
l 
natural or other disasters, including acts of terrorism, could have an adverse effect on BB&T, materially disrupting BB&T's operations or the ability or willingness of customers to access BB&T's products and services;
l 
costs related to the integration of the businesses of BB&T and its merger partners may be greater than expected;
l 
failure to execute on strategic or operational plans, including the ability to successfully complete and/or integrate mergers and acquisitions or fully achieve expected cost savings or revenue growth associated with mergers and acquisitions within the expected time frames could adversely impact financial condition and results of operations;
l 
significant litigation and regulatory proceedings could have a material adverse effect on BB&T;
l 
unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or other claims and regulatory and other governmental investigations or other inquiries could result in negative publicity, protests, fines, penalties, restrictions on BB&T's operations or ability to expand its business and other negative consequences, all of which could cause reputational damage and adversely impact BB&T's financial conditions and results of operations;
l 
risks resulting from the extensive use of models;
l 
risk management measures may not be fully effective;
l 
deposit attrition, customer loss and/or revenue loss following completed mergers/acquisitions may exceed expectations; and
l 
widespread system outages, caused by the failure of critical internal systems or critical services provided by third parties, could adversely impact BB&T's financial condition and results of operations.

These and other risk factors are more fully described in this report and in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 under the sections entitled "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and from time to time, in other filings with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, BB&T undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason. Readers should, however, consult any further disclosures of a forward-looking nature BB&T may make in any subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

BB&T is a financial holding company organized under the laws of North Carolina. BB&T conducts operations through its principal bank subsidiary, Branch Bank, and its nonbank subsidiaries.

Regulatory Considerations
 
The extensive regulatory framework applicable to financial institutions is intended primarily for the protection of depositors, the DIF and the stability of the financial system, rather than for the protection of shareholders and creditors. In addition to banking laws, regulations and regulatory agencies, BB&T is subject to various other laws, regulations, supervision and examination by other regulatory agencies, all of which affect the operations and management of BB&T and its ability to make distributions to shareholders. Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for additional disclosures with respect to significant laws and regulations affecting BB&T.

On April 10, 2018, the banking regulators issued a proposal to simplify capital rules for large banks.  The proposal introduces a “stress capital buffer," which would in part integrate the forward-looking stress test results with the non-stress capital requirements. The result would produce capital requirements for large banking organization that are firm-specific and risk-sensitive and reduce the overall number of capital ratios that must be met. The stress capital buffer would equal the decrease in a firm’s CET1 capital ratio in CCAR plus four quarters of planned common stock dividends. A banks stress capital buffer requirement would be subject to a floor of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. 

Executive Summary
 
Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2018 was $745 million. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the first quarter of 2018 were $0.94, an increase of $0.48 compared to the first quarter of 2017. First quarter 2018 results were negatively impacted by fee waivers and other costs associated with our system outage in February, which resulted in lost revenue of approximately $15 million and incremental noninterest expenses of approximately $5 million. Results for the first quarter of 2017 included a $392 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt.
 
BB&T's results of operations for the first quarter of 2018 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.45%, an annualized return on average risk-weighted assets of 1.81% and an annualized return on average common shareholders' equity of 11.43%, compared to ratios for the same quarter of the prior year of 0.79%, 0.98% and 5.72%, respectively.

Total revenues on a TE basis were $2.8 billion for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $16 million compared to the same period in 2017. This reflects an increase of $7 million in taxable-equivalent net interest income. Net interest margin was 3.44%, compared to 3.46% for the first quarter of 2017.

The provision for credit losses was $150 million compared to $148 million in the first quarter of 2017. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2018 totaled $145 million compared to $148 million for the earlier quarter. Asset quality remains strong despite a $42 million increase to NPAs compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 related to CRE lending and leasing, as well as an increase in foreclosed properties.

Noninterest income was up $9 million compared to the first quarter of 2017. Noninterest expense was $1.7 billion for the first quarter of 2018, down $416 million compared to the earlier quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by a loss of $392 million on the early extinguishment of debt in the earlier period. Excluding this item and merger-related and restructuring charges, noninterest expense was down $16 million as a result of tight expense control.

The provision for income taxes was $186 million for the first quarter of 2018, compared to $104 million for the earlier quarter. This produced an effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2018 of 19.0%, compared to 19.6% for the first quarter of 2017. The provision for income taxes for the current quarter reflects the new lower federal tax rate, whereas the earlier period includes the tax benefits associated with using the marginal income tax rate for the loss on the early extinguishment of debt. The current quarter also reflects $18 million in excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation plans compared to $35 million in the earlier quarter.

BB&T's CET1 capital ratio was 10.2% at March 31, 2018. BB&T declared common dividends of $0.375 per share during the first quarter of 2018, a 13.6% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. This resulted in a dividend payout ratio of 39.2%. The total payout ratio for the first quarter of 2018 was 82.1%.

In April, BB&T announced plans to acquire Regions Insurance, which will increase the retail insurance network in BB&T's core markets across the Southeast and newer markets in Texas, Louisiana and Indiana. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2018.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and NIM
 
First Quarter 2018 compared to First Quarter 2017
 
Net interest income on a TE basis was $1.7 billion for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $7 million compared to the same period in 2017. Interest income increased $129 million, which primarily reflects higher rates. Interest expense increased $122 million due to higher funding costs reflecting the impact of rate increases.
 
Net interest margin was 3.44%, compared to 3.46% for the first quarter of 2017. Average earning assets increased $2.0 billion, or 1.0%. The increase in average earnings assets reflects a $3.8 billion increase in average securities, partially offset by a $2.0 billion decrease in other earning assets. The decrease in other earning assets was primarily due to lower balances held at the Federal Reserve. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $254 million compared to the earlier quarter, as the growth in earning assets was funded by noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased $2.3 billion compared to the earlier quarter. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $6.5 billion, which was partially offset by increases of $2.9 billion in average long-term debt and $3.4 billion in average short-term borrowings. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased due to organic growth. The annualized TE yield on the total loan portfolio for the first quarter was 4.57%, up 27 basis points compared to the earlier quarter. The annualized TE yield on the average securities portfolio for the first quarter was 2.44%, up two basis points compared to the earlier quarter.
 
The average annualized cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.46%, up 20 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2017. The average annualized rate on short-term borrowings was 1.43%, up 100 basis points. The average annualized rate on long-term debt was 2.54%, up 71 basis points. The higher rates on funding liabilities primarily reflect the impact of rate increases.

The following table sets forth the major components of net interest income and the related annualized yields and rates as well as the variances between the periods caused by changes in interest rates versus changes in volumes. Changes attributable to the mix of assets and liabilities have been allocated proportionally between the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Credit Losses
 
First Quarter 2018 compared to First Quarter 2017
 
The provision for credit losses totaled $150 million for the first quarter of 2018, compared to $148 million for the same period of the prior year.

Net charge-offs were $145 million for the first quarter of 2018 and $148 million for the first quarter of 2017. Net charge-offs were 0.41% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 0.42% of average loans and leases for the same period in 2017.

Noninterest Income
 
First Quarter 2018 compared to First Quarter 2017
 
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2018 was up $9 million compared to the earlier quarter.

Investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions increased $22 million due to higher managed account fees and higher investment banking income. Insurance income decreased $22 million compared to the earlier quarter primarily due to lower performance-based commissions. Service charges on deposits was essentially flat, but was negatively impacted due to fee waivers associated with the system outage as previously mentioned. Other income was essentially flat, as increases from various sundry items were more than offset by a $22 million decrease in income related to assets for certain post-employment benefits, which is primarily offset in other income/expense categories.

Noninterest Expense
 
First Quarter 2018 compared to First Quarter 2017
 
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2018 was down $416 million compared to the earlier quarter primarily driven by a loss of $392 million on the early extinguishment of debt in the earlier period. Excluding this item and merger-related and restructuring charges, noninterest expense was down $16 million due to tight expense control.

Personnel expense was essentially flat compared to the earlier quarter as lower salaries expense driven by approximately 1,500 fewer FTEs was largely offset by higher pension service cost. Outside IT services decreased $17 million compared to the earlier quarter due to lower project-related expenses. Other expense decreased $14 million compared to the earlier quarter, primarily due to an increase in the expected return on pension plan assets due to higher plan assets.

Other, Treasury & Corporate

Net income in OT&C can vary due to the changing needs of the Corporation, including the size of the investment portfolio, the need for wholesale funding and income received from derivatives used to hedge the balance sheet.

OT&C generated a net loss of $9 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to a net loss of $182 million in the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income decreased $21 million primarily due to an increase in the rate and average balances for long-term debt. The allocated provision for credit losses decreased due to a decline in the provision for PCI loans and a decrease in the provision for unfunded lending commitments. Noninterest expense decreased $352 million due to a $392 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt in the earlier period, partially offset by an increase in personnel expense due to a third quarter of 2017 change in approach for allocating capitalized loan origination costs. The benefit for income taxes fell $171 million primarily due to a decline in pre-tax loss and lower excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation plans.

Lending Activities
 
Loans HFI totaled $143.0 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $143.7 billion at December 31, 2017. This decrease was primarily related to indirect loans and revolving credit loans. Management continuously evaluates the composition of the loan portfolio taking into consideration the current and expected market conditions, interest rate environment and risk profiles to optimize profitability. Based upon this evaluation, management may decide to focus efforts on growing or decreasing exposures in certain portfolios through both organic changes and portfolio acquisitions or sales.

Average loans held for investment for the first quarter of 2018 were $142.9 billion, up $194 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.

Average commercial and industrial loans increased $149 million, as production late in the prior quarter led to higher average balances. This was partially offset by a seasonal decline in average mortgage warehouse loans. Average CRE increased $400 million due to growth in loans for income producing properties. In addition, average residential mortgage loans increased $265 million due to a change to retain a portion of the conforming mortgage production rather than selling substantially all such production.

Average indirect retail loans decreased $512 million, primarily due to seasonality, strategic optimization and directing investments toward higher-yielding assets.

This asset quality ratio has been adjusted to remove the impact of government guaranteed mortgage loans and PCI. Appropriate adjustments to the numerator and denominator have been reflected in the calculation of these ratios. Management believes the inclusion of such assets in this asset quality ratio results in distortion of this ratio such that it might not be reflective of asset collectibility or might not be comparable to other periods presented or to other portfolios that do not have government guarantees or were not impacted by purchase accounting.

Nonperforming assets totaled $669 million at March 31, 2018, up $42 million compared to December 31, 2017. Nonperforming loans and leases represented 0.42% of loans and leases held for investment, a slight increase compared to December 31, 2017. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily related to CRE lending and leasing, as well as an increase in foreclosed properties.

Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing totaled $814 million at March 31, 2018, down $238 million compared to the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to expected seasonality in indirect lending and residential mortgage.


38

Table of Contents

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $490 million at March 31, 2018, down $58 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to a decrease in residential mortgage loans. The ratio of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of loans and leases was 0.34% at March 31, 2018, compared to 0.38% for the prior quarter. Excluding government guaranteed and PCI loans, the ratio of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of loans and leases was 0.04% at March 31, 2018, an improvement of one basis point from the prior quarter.

Problem loans include loans on nonaccrual status or loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing as disclosed in Table 4. In addition, for the commercial portfolio segment, loans that are rated special mention or substandard performing are closely monitored by management as potential problem loans. Refer to Note 3. Loans and ACL herein for additional disclosures related to these potential problem loans.
 
Certain residential mortgage loans have an initial period where the borrower is only required to pay the periodic interest. After the interest-only period, the loan will require the payment of both interest and principal over the remaining term. At March 31, 2018, approximately $633 million of the outstanding balances of residential mortgage loans were in the interest-only phase. Approximately 96.1% of the interest-only balances will begin amortizing within the next three years.
 
Home equity lines, which are a component of the direct retail portfolio, generally require interest-only payments during the first 15 years after origination. After this initial period, the outstanding balance begins amortizing and requires the payment of both interest and principal. At March 31, 2018, the direct retail lending portfolio includes $8.3 billion of variable rate home equity lines and $1.0 billion of variable rate other lines of credit. Approximately $6.4 billion of the variable rate home equity lines is currently in the interest-only phase and approximately 8.5% of these balances will begin amortizing within the next three years. Approximately $913 million of the outstanding balance of variable rate other lines of credit is in the interest-only phase and 15.2% of these balances will begin amortizing within the next three years. Variable rate home equity lines and other lines of credit typically reset on a monthly basis.
 
TDRs occur when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near-term and a concession has been granted to the borrower. As a result, BB&T will work with the borrower to prevent further difficulties and ultimately improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan. To facilitate this process, a concessionary modification that would not otherwise be considered may be granted, resulting in classification of the loan as a TDR. Refer to Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for additional policy information regarding TDRs.
 
Performing TDRs were essentially flat during the first quarter, as the commercial and industrial and CRE portfolios were down while government guaranteed residential mortgage loans increased.

The ACL, which consists of the ALLL and the RUFC, totaled $1.6 billion at March 31, 2018, essentially flat compared to December 31, 2017.

The ALLL, excluding PCI, was $1.5 billion, up $11 million compared to December 31, 2017. The allowance for PCI loans was $25 million, down $3 million compared to December 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2018, the total allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.05% of loans and leases held for investment, compared to 1.04% at December 31, 2017. These amounts include acquired loans, which were marked to fair value and did not receive an ALLL at the acquisition date.

The ALLL was 2.49 times NPLs held for investment, compared to 2.62 times at December 31, 2017. At March 31, 2018, the ALLL was 2.55 times annualized quarterly net charge-offs, compared to 2.89 times at December 31, 2017.

Net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2018 totaled $145 million, or 0.41% of average loans and leases, compared to $148 million, or 0.42% of average loans and leases for the first quarter of 2017.

Refer to Note 3. Loans and ACL for additional disclosures.

The following table presents an allocation of the ALLL at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. This allocation of the ALLL is calculated on an approximate basis and is not necessarily indicative of future losses or allocations. The entire amount of the allowance is available to absorb losses occurring in any category of loans and leases.

Table of Contents


Interest checking increased $524 million, primarily due to increases in commercial and public funds balances. Average time deposits increased $103 million primarily due to increases in commercial balances. Average foreign office deposits decreased $553 million due to changes in the overall funding mix.

Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 34.0% of total average deposits for the first quarter, compared to 34.4% for the prior quarter and 31.7% a year ago. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.46% for the first quarter, up six basis points compared to the prior quarter.

Borrowings
 
At March 31, 2018, short-term borrowings totaled $4.3 billion, a decrease of $617 million compared to December 31, 2017. Short-term borrowings fluctuate based on the Company's funding needs. Long-term debt totaled $23.4 billion at March 31, 2018, a decrease of $238 million compared to December 31, 2017.
 
Shareholders' Equity
 
Total shareholders' equity was $29.7 billion at March 31, 2018, down $33 million from December 31, 2017. Significant additions include net income of $791 million. Significant decreases include common and preferred dividends totaling $335 million, $320 million of share repurchases and the OCI net loss of $178 million, primarily due to declines in AFS securities valuations. BB&T's book value per common share at March 31, 2018 was $34.06, compared to $34.01 at December 31, 2017.

In conjunction with the consummation of an acquisition or the implementation of a restructuring initiative, BB&T typically accrues certain merger-related and restructuring expenses, which may include estimated severance and other personnel-related costs, costs to terminate lease contracts, costs related to the disposal of duplicate facilities and equipment, costs to terminate data processing contracts and other costs associated with the acquisition or restructuring activity. Merger-related and restructuring accruals are re-evaluated periodically and adjusted as necessary. The remaining accruals at March 31, 2018 are expected to be utilized within one year, unless they relate to specific contracts that expire later. The following table presents a summary of merger-related and restructuring charges and the related accruals:

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T are in accordance with GAAP and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. BB&T's financial position and results of operations are affected by management's application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations and related disclosures. The more critical accounting and reporting policies include accounting for the ACL, determining fair value of financial instruments, intangible assets, costs and benefit obligations associated with pension and postretirement benefit plans, and income taxes. Understanding BB&T's accounting policies is fundamental to understanding the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, the critical accounting policies are discussed in detail in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in detail in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Additional disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in the "Basis of Presentation" Note included herein. There have been no other changes to the significant accounting policies during 2018.

Risk Management
 
BB&T has a strong and consistent risk culture, based on established risk values, which promotes predictable and consistent performance within an environment of open communication and effective challenge. The strong culture influences all associates in the organization daily and helps them evaluate whether risks are acceptable or unacceptable while making decisions that balance quality, profitability and growth appropriately. BB&T’s effective risk management framework establishes an environment which enables it to achieve superior performance relative to peers, ensures that BB&T is viewed among the safest of banks and assures the operational freedom to act on opportunities.
 
BB&T ensures that there is an appropriate return for the amount of risk taken, and that the expected return is in line with its strategic objectives and business plan. Risk-taking activities are evaluated and prioritized to identify those that present attractive risk-adjusted returns while preserving asset value. BB&T only undertakes risks that are understood and can be managed effectively. By managing risk well, BB&T ensures sufficient capital is available to maintain and grow core business operations in a safe and sound manner.
 
Regardless of financial gain or loss to the Company, associates are held accountable if they do not follow the established risk management policies and procedures. Compensation decisions take into account an associate’s adherence to, and successful implementation of, BB&T’s risk values. The compensation structure supports the Company’s core values and sound risk management practices in an effort to promote judicious risk-taking behavior.
 
BB&T’s risk culture encourages transparency and open dialogue between all levels in the performance of organizational functions, such as the development, marketing and implementation of a product or service.
 
The principal types of inherent risk include compliance, credit, liquidity, market, operational, reputation and strategic risks. Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for disclosures related to each of these risks under the section titled "Risk Management."
 
Market Risk Management
 
The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving BB&T’s strategic financial objectives. As a financial institution, BB&T’s most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also includes product liquidity risk, price risk and volatility risk in BB&T’s BUs. The primary objectives of market risk management are to minimize any adverse effect that changes in market risk factors may have on net interest income, net income and capital and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets recorded at fair value. At BB&T, market risk management also includes the enterprise-wide IPV function.
 
Interest Rate Market Risk (Other than Trading)
 
BB&T actively manages market risk associated with asset and liability portfolios with a focus on the strategic pricing of asset and liability accounts and management of appropriate maturity mixes of assets and liabilities. The goal of these activities is the development of appropriate maturity and repricing opportunities in BB&T’s portfolios of assets and liabilities that will produce reasonably consistent net interest income during periods of changing interest rates. These portfolios are analyzed for proper fixed-rate and variable-rate mixes under various interest rate scenarios.
 
The asset/liability management process is designed to achieve relatively stable NIM and assure liquidity by coordinating the volumes, maturities or repricing opportunities of earning assets, deposits and borrowed funds. Among other things, this process gives consideration to prepayment trends related to securities, loans and leases and certain deposits that have no stated maturity. Prepayment assumptions are developed using a combination of market data and internal historical prepayment experience for residential mortgage-related loans and securities, and internal historical prepayment experience for client deposits with no stated maturity and loans that are not residential mortgage related. These assumptions are subject to monthly review and adjustment, and are modified as deemed necessary to reflect changes in interest rates relative to the reference rate of the underlying assets or liabilities. On a monthly basis, BB&T evaluates the accuracy of its Simulation model, which includes an evaluation of its prepayment assumptions, to ensure that all significant assumptions inherent in the model appropriately reflect changes in the interest rate environment and related trends in prepayment activity. It is the responsibility of the MRLCC to determine and achieve the most appropriate volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as to ensure an adequate level of liquidity and capital, within the context of corporate performance goals. The MRLCC also sets policy guidelines and establishes long-term strategies with respect to interest rate risk exposure and liquidity. The MRLCC meets regularly to review BB&T’s interest rate risk and liquidity positions in relation to present and prospective market and business conditions, and adopts funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended to ensure that the potential impacts on earnings and liquidity as a result of fluctuations in interest rates are within acceptable tolerance guidelines.

BB&T uses derivatives primarily to manage economic risk related to securities, commercial loans, MSRs and mortgage banking operations, long-term debt and other funding sources. BB&T also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients. As of March 31, 2018, BB&T had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $78.6 billion, with a net fair value loss of $213 million. See Note 14. Derivative Financial Instruments for additional disclosures.
 
The majority of BB&T’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. Fluctuations in interest rates and actions of the FRB to regulate the availability and cost of credit have a greater effect on a financial institution’s profitability than do the effects of higher costs for goods and services. Through its balance sheet management function, which is monitored by the MRLCC, management believes that BB&T is positioned to respond to changing needs for liquidity, changes in interest rates and inflationary trends.
 
Management uses the Simulation to measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates. The Simulation projects net interest income and interest rate risk for a rolling two-year period of time. The Simulation takes into account the current contractual agreements that BB&T has made with its customers on deposits, borrowings, loans, investments and commitments to enter into those transactions. Furthermore, the Simulation considers the impact of expected customer behavior. Management monitors BB&T’s interest sensitivity by means of a model that incorporates the current volumes, average rates earned and paid, and scheduled maturities and payments of asset and liability portfolios, together with multiple scenarios that include projected prepayments, repricing opportunities and anticipated volume growth. Using this information, the model projects earnings based on projected portfolio balances under multiple interest rate scenarios. This level of detail is needed to simulate the effect that changes in interest rates and portfolio balances may have on the earnings of BB&T. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but management believes that it provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses such as static or dynamic gap. In addition to the Simulation, BB&T uses EVE analysis to focus on projected changes in assets and liabilities given potential changes in interest rates. This measure also allows BB&T to analyze interest rate risk that falls outside the analysis window contained in the Simulation. The EVE model is a discounted cash flow of the portfolio of assets, liabilities, and derivative instruments. The difference in the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities is defined as the economic value of equity.
 
The asset/liability management process requires a number of key assumptions. Management determines the most likely outlook for the economy and interest rates by analyzing external factors, including published economic projections and data, the effects of likely monetary and fiscal policies, as well as any enacted or prospective regulatory changes. BB&T’s current and prospective liquidity position, current balance sheet volumes and projected growth, accessibility of funds for short-term needs and capital maintenance are also considered. This data is combined with various interest rate scenarios to provide management with the information necessary to analyze interest sensitivity and to aid in the development of strategies to reach performance goals.

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on net interest income as projected for the next twelve months assuming a gradual change in interest rates as described below. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related and other assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing, deposit sensitivity, customer preferences and capital plans. The resulting change in net interest income reflects the level of interest rate sensitivity that income has in relation to the investment, loan and deposit portfolios.

The MRLCC has established parameters related to interest sensitivity that prescribe a maximum negative impact on net interest income under different interest rate scenarios. In the event the results of the Simulation model fall outside the established parameters, management will make recommendations to the MRLCC on the most appropriate response given the current economic forecast. The following parameters and interest rate scenarios are considered BB&T’s primary measures of interest rate risk:
 
Maximum negative impact on net interest income of 2% for the next 12 months assuming a 25 basis point change in interest rates each month for four months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining eight month period.


44

Table of Contents

Maximum negative impact on net interest income of 4% for the next 12 months assuming a 25 basis point change in interest rates each month for eight months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining four month period.

If a parallel rate change of 200 basis points cannot be modeled due to a low level of rates, a proportional limit applies, and the maximum negative impact on net interest income is adjusted on a proportional basis. Regardless of the proportional limit, the negative risk exposure limit will be the greater of the 4% or the proportional limit.
 
Management has also established a maximum negative impact on net interest income of 4% for an immediate 100 basis points parallel change in rates and 8% for an immediate 200 basis points parallel change in rates. Management currently only models up to a negative 100 basis point decline, and the maximum negative impact on net interest income is adjusted on a proportional basis. Regardless of the proportional limit, the negative risk exposure limit will be the greater of 4% or the proportional limit. These "interest rate shock" limits are designed to create an outer band of acceptable risk based upon a significant and immediate change in rates.

Management has temporarily suspended its interest rate exposure limits to declining interest rates. As the Federal Reserve has started to raise rates, competitive pressure on deposit rates has not materialized. As a result, asset repricing in excess of liability repricing is causing the measured exposure to declining rates to increase. Management evaluates its interest rate risk position each month.
 
Management must also consider how the balance sheet and interest rate risk position could be impacted by changes in balance sheet mix. Liquidity in the banking industry has been very strong during the current economic cycle. Much of this liquidity increase has been due to a significant increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Consistent with the industry, Branch Bank has seen a significant increase in this funding source. The behavior of these deposits is one of the most important assumptions used in determining the interest rate risk position of BB&T. A loss of these deposits in the future would reduce the asset sensitivity of BB&T’s balance sheet as the Company increases interest-bearing funds to offset the loss of this advantageous funding source.

Beta represents the correlation between overall market interest rates and the rates paid by BB&T on interest-bearing deposits. BB&T applies an average beta of approximately 50% to its non-maturity interest bearing deposit accounts for determining its interest rate sensitivity. Non-maturity interest bearing deposit accounts include interest checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts that do not have a contractual maturity. Due to current market conditions the actual deposit beta on non-maturity interest bearing deposits has been less than 20%; however, BB&T expects the beta to increase as rates continue to rise. BB&T regularly conducts sensitivity on other key variables to determine the impact they could have on the interest rate risk position. This allows BB&T to evaluate the likely impact on its balance sheet management strategies due to a more extreme variation in a key assumption than expected.
 
The following table shows the effect that the loss of demand deposits and an associated increase in managed rate deposits would have on BB&T’s interest-rate sensitivity position. For purposes of this analysis, BB&T modeled the incremental beta for the replacement of the lost demand deposits at 100%.

(1) The base scenario is equal to the annualized hypothetical percentage change in net interest income at March 31, 2018 as presented in the preceding table.

If rates increased 200 basis points, BB&T could absorb the loss of $19.1billion, or 34.6%, of noninterest bearing deposits and replace them with managed rate deposits with a beta of 100% before becoming neutral to interest rate changes.

Market Risk from Trading Activities
 
BB&T also manages market risk from trading activities which consists of acting as a financial intermediary to provide its customers access to derivatives, foreign exchange and securities markets. Trading market risk is managed through the use of statistical and non-statistical risk measures and limits. BB&T utilizes a historical VaR methodology to measure and aggregate risks across its covered trading BUs. This methodology uses two years of historical data to estimate economic outcomes for a one-day time horizon at a 99% confidence level. The average 99% one-day VaR and the maximum daily VaR for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were each less than $1 million. Market risk disclosures under Basel II.5 are available in the Additional Disclosures section of the Investor Relations site on BBT.com.

Liquidity
 
Liquidity represents the continuing ability to meet funding needs, including deposit withdrawals, timely repayment of borrowings and other liabilities, and funding of loan commitments. In addition to the level of liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents and AFS securities, many other factors affect the ability to meet liquidity needs, including access to a variety of funding sources, maintaining borrowing capacity in national money markets, growing core deposits, the repayment of loans and the ability to securitize or package loans for sale.

BB&T monitors the ability to meet customer demand for funds under both normal and stressed market conditions. In considering its liquidity position, management evaluates BB&T’s funding mix based on client core funding, client rate-sensitive funding and national markets funding. In addition, management also evaluates exposure to rate-sensitive funding sources that mature in one year or less. Management also measures liquidity needs against 30 days of stressed cash outflows for Branch Bank and BB&T. To ensure a strong liquidity position, management maintains a liquid asset buffer of cash on hand and highly liquid unpledged securities. BB&T follows the FRB's enhanced prudential standards for purposes of determining the liquid asset buffer. BB&T’s policy is to use the greater of either 5% of total assets or a range of projected net cash outflows over a 30 day period. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, BB&T's liquid asset buffer was 15.1% and 14.3%, respectively, of total assets.
 
BB&T is considered to be a "modified LCR" holding company. BB&T would be subject to full LCR requirements if its assets were to increase above $250 billion or if it were to be considered internationally active. BB&T produces LCR calculations to effectively manage the position of High-Quality Liquid Assets and the balance sheet deposit mix to optimize BB&T's liquidity position. BB&T's LCR was approximately 144% at March 31, 2018, compared to the regulatory minimum for such entities of 100%, which puts BB&T in full compliance with the rule. The LCR can experience volatility due to issues like maturing debt rolling into the 30 day measurement period, or client inflows and outflows. The daily change in BB&T’s LCR averaged less than 2% during 2018 with a maximum change of approximately 12%.
 
On April 27, 2016, the OCC, the FRB and the FDIC released a notice of proposed rulemaking for the US version of the net stable funding ratio. Under the proposal, BB&T will be a "modified NSFR" holding company. BB&T would be subject to full NSFR requirements if it has $250 billion or more in assets or $10 billion or more in total on-balance sheet foreign exposure. BB&T is evaluating the information in the proposal but does not currently expect a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

Parent Company
 
The purpose of the Parent Company is to serve as the primary source of capital for the operating subsidiaries, with assets primarily consisting of cash on deposit with Branch Bank, equity investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, accounts receivable from subsidiaries, and other miscellaneous assets. The principal obligations of the Parent Company are payments on long-term debt. The main sources of funds for the Parent Company are dividends and management fees from subsidiary, repayments of advances to subsidiaries, and proceeds from the issuance of equity and long-term debt. The primary uses of funds by the Parent Company are for investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, dividend payments to common and preferred shareholders, retirement of common stock and payments on long-term debt.
 
Liquidity at the Parent Company is more susceptible to market disruptions. BB&T prudently manages cash levels at the Parent Company to cover a minimum of one year of projected cash outflows which includes unfunded external commitments, debt service, common and preferred dividends and scheduled debt maturities without the benefit of any new cash infusions. Generally, BB&T maintains a significant buffer above the projected one year of cash outflows. In determining the buffer, BB&T considers cash requirements for common and preferred dividends, unfunded commitments to affiliates, being a source of strength to its banking subsidiary and being able to withstand sustained market disruptions that could limit access to the capital markets. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Parent Company had 26 months and 29 months, respectively, of cash on hand to satisfy projected contractual cash outflows, and 21 months and 23 months, respectively, taking into account common stock dividends.

Branch Bank
 
BB&T carefully manages liquidity risk at Branch Bank. Branch Bank’s primary source of funding is customer deposits. Continued access to customer deposits is highly dependent on the confidence the public has in the stability of the bank and its ability to return funds to the client when requested. BB&T maintains a strong focus on its reputation in the market to ensure continued access to client deposits. BB&T integrates its risk appetite into its overall risk management framework to ensure the bank does not exceed its risk tolerance through its lending and other risk taking functions and thus risk becoming undercapitalized. BB&T believes that sufficient capital is paramount to maintaining the confidence of its depositors and other funds providers. BB&T has extensive capital management processes in place to ensure it maintains sufficient capital to absorb losses and maintain a highly capitalized position that will instill confidence in the bank and allow continued access to deposits and other funding sources. Branch Bank monitors many liquidity metrics including funding concentrations, diversification, maturity distribution, contingent funding needs and ability to meet liquidity requirements under times of stress.

Branch Bank has several major sources of funding to meet its liquidity requirements, including access to capital markets through issuance of senior or subordinated bank notes and institutional CDs, access to the FHLB system, dealer repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements with commercial clients, access to the overnight and term Federal funds markets, use of a Cayman branch facility, access to retail brokered CDs and a borrower in custody program with the FRB for the discount window. At March 31, 2018, Branch Bank has approximately $80.0 billion of secured borrowing capacity, which represents approximately 7.8 times the amount of one year wholesale funding maturities.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Related Party Transactions
 
Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for discussion with respect to BB&T's quantitative and qualitative disclosures about its fixed and determinable contractual obligations. Additional disclosures about BB&T's contractual obligations, commitments and derivative financial instruments are included in Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies, Note 13. Fair Value Disclosures and Note 14. Derivative Financial Instruments.

Capital
 
The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on a regular basis. BB&T’s principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support BB&T’s risk profile consistent with the Board-approved risk appetite, provide financial flexibility to support future growth and client needs, comply with relevant laws, regulations, and supervisory guidance, achieve optimal credit ratings for BB&T and its subsidiaries and provide a competitive return to shareholders. Risk-based capital ratios, which include CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital are calculated based on regulatory guidance related to the measurement of capital and risk-weighted assets.
 
Management regularly monitors the capital position of BB&T on both a consolidated and bank level basis. In this regard, management’s overriding policy is to maintain capital at levels that are in excess of the capital targets, which are above the regulatory "well capitalized" levels. Management has implemented stressed capital ratio minimum targets to evaluate whether capital ratios calculated with planned capital actions are likely to remain above minimums specified by the FRB for the annual CCAR. Breaches of stressed minimum targets prompt a review of the planned capital actions included in BB&T’s capital plan.

BB&T's goal is to maintain capital levels above the 2019 requirements.

While nonrecurring events or management decisions may result in the Company temporarily falling below its operating minimum guidelines for one or more of these ratios, it is management’s intent through capital planning to return to these targeted operating minimums within a reasonable period of time. Such temporary decreases below the operating minimums shown above are not considered an infringement of BB&T’s overall capital policy, provided a return above the minimums is forecast to occur within a reasonable time period.

Tangible common equity and related measures are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization. These measures are useful for evaluating the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or developed internally. BB&T's management uses these measures to assess the quality of capital and returns relative to balance sheet risk and believes investors may find them useful in their analysis of the Corporation. These capital measures are not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures that may be presented by other companies.

Capital levels remained strong at March 31, 2018. BB&T declared total common dividends of $0.375 per share (up 13.6% from the fourth quarter) during the first quarter of 2018, which resulted in a dividend payout ratio of 39.2%. The Company also completed $320 million of share repurchases during the first quarter of 2018, which resulted in a total payout ratio of 82.1%.
