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 
risks, uncertainties and other factors relating to the merger of SunTrust with and into BB&T, including the ability to obtain regulatory approvals and meet other closing conditions to the merger, and delay in closing the merger;
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;
l 
changes in the interest rate environment, including interest rate changes made by the Federal Reserve, the discontinuation of LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark, 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 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 
cyber security 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 
fraud or misconduct by internal or external parties, which BB&T may not be able to prevent, detect or mitigate;
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, 2018 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 statement. 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.

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

General
 
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, 2018 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
 
Reclassifications

Certain 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. 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.

Leases - Lessee

BB&T has operating and finance leases for data centers, corporate offices, branches, retail centers, and certain equipment. BB&T determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases with an original lease term in excess of one year are included in other assets and accounts payable and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in premises and equipment and long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. BB&T uses an implicit interest rate in determining the present value of lease payments when readily determinable, and a collateralized incremental borrowing rate when an implicit rate is not available. Lease terms consider options to extend or terminate based on the determination of whether such renewal or termination options are deemed reasonably certain. Rent expense and rental income on operating leases is generally recorded using the straight-line method over the appropriate lease terms.

Lease agreements that contain non-lease components are generally accounted for as a single lease component. Variable costs, such as maintenance expenses, property and sales taxes, association dues and index based rate increases, are expensed as they are incurred.

Leases - Lessor

BB&T's commercial lease portfolio consists of dealer-based financing of equipment for small businesses and commercial equipment leasing. The fair market value of the leased asset is generally equal to the original capitalized cost. Assets under operating leases are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Depreciation expense for assets under operating leases is generally recorded using the straight-line method over the appropriate lease terms in other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.


BB&T Corporation 9



Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements
Standard/Adoption Date
Description
Effects on the Financial Statements
Standards Adopted During the Current Year
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 established ROU assets of $860 million and lease liabilities of $997 million. The net impact to equity was a reduction of $40 million. There was no material impact to its Consolidated Statements of Income. BB&T adopted the guidance on a prospective basis and did not reassess whether any expired or existing contract contains a lease, the classification of leases or the initial direct costs.
Standards Not Yet Adopted
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. The standard also requires expanded disclosures related to credit losses and asset quality.
BB&T's CECL implementation efforts are continuing to focus on model validation, developing new disclosures, establishing formal policies and procedures and other governance and control documentation. BB&T performed comprehensive parallel testing of its CECL models during the third quarter of 2019. The results of this testing preliminarily indicate the potential for an increase in the ACL that ranges from approximately 30% to 50%. However, the magnitude of the increase is highly dependent on existing and forecasted economic conditions at the adoption date. This estimate does not incorporate the anticipated impact of the merger with SunTrust, which is expected to be consummated during the fourth quarter of 2019.


NOTE 2. Business Combinations

On February 7, 2019, BB&T and SunTrust announced that both companies' Boards of Directors unanimously approved an agreement to combine in an all-stock merger-of-equals. Upon closing, each SunTrust share will be exchanged for 1.295 shares of BB&T stock. On July 10, 2019, BB&T received regulatory approval from the NCCOB for the pending merger-of-equals with SunTrust. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions, including receipt of remaining regulatory approvals. The merger is subject to a break-up fee of approximately $1.1 billion, payable in customary circumstances. On July 30, 2019, BB&T and SunTrust shareholders approved the merger. In addition, BB&T's shareholders approved Truist Financial Corporation to be the name of the new combined company.

Certain securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC exceeded 10% of shareholders' equity at September 30, 2019. The FNMA investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $16.5 billion and $16.6 billion respectively. The FHLMC investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $12.4 billion.

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.

Substantially all of the unrealized losses on the securities portfolio were the result of changes in market interest rates compared to the date the securities were acquired rather than the credit quality of the issuers or underlying loans.

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 $19 million and $19 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $58 million and $55 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Payment default is defined as movement of the TDR to nonperforming status, foreclosure or charge-off, whichever occurs first.

Unearned income, discounts and net deferred loan fees and costs were immaterial for all periods presented. Residential mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure were $227 million at September 30, 2019 and $253 million at December 31, 2018.

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.

NOTE 10. Shareholders' Equity

Preferred Stock

On July 29, 2019, BB&T issued $1.7 billion of series N non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock with a stated dividend rate of 4.800% per annum for net proceeds of $1.7 billion. Dividends, if declared by the Board of Directors, are payable on the first day of March and September of each year, commencing on March 1, 2020. The dividend rate will reset on September 1, 2024, and on each following fifth anniversary of the reset date to the five-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 3.003%. BB&T issued depositary shares, each of which represents a fractional ownership interest in a share of the 68,000 shares of the Company's series N preferred stock. The preferred stock has no stated maturity and redemption is solely at the option of the Company in whole, but not in part, upon the occurrence of a regulatory capital treatment event, as defined. In addition, the preferred stock may be redeemed in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date after September 1, 2024.

During the third quarter of 2019, BB&T redeemed all outstanding 23,000 shares of series D and 46,000 shares of series E non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and the corresponding depositary shares representing fractional interests in each series for $1.7 billion. Regular dividends on the redeemed shares were paid during the third quarter of 2019. In connection with the redemptions, net income available to common shareholders was reduced by $46 million to recognize the difference in the redemption price and the carrying value.

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.

Following the announcement of the proposed merger with SunTrust, six civil actions were filed challenging, among other things, the adequacy of the disclosures contained in the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. Five of these suits were filed by purported SunTrust stockholders against SunTrust and its board of directors, with one suit also asserting a claim against BB&T. The sixth suit was filed by a purported BB&T stockholder against BB&T and its board of directors. Following discussions, SunTrust and BB&T reached agreement with plaintiffs to resolve these actions by making certain supplemental disclosures in the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction, which became definitive on June 19, 2019. To date, one of the suits filed by purported SunTrust stockholders has been dismissed with prejudice, and the suit filed by a purported BB&T stockholder has been discontinued with prejudice. Plaintiffs in the four remaining suits have similarly agreed to dismiss their actions in their entirety, with prejudice as to the named plaintiffs only and without prejudice to all other members of the putative class.

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. The following table provides the total carrying amount of pledged assets by asset type, of which the majority are pursuant to agreements that do not permit the other party to sell or repledge the collateral, excluding assets related to employee benefit plans:

(1) Refer to Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments for additional discussion on netting adjustments.

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.
 
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 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.
 
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 above.

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.
 
Securities sold short: Securities sold short represent debt securities sold short that are entered into as a hedging strategy for the purposes of supporting institutional and retail client trading activities.

The non-agency MBS categorized as Level 3 represent ownership interests 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 September 30, 2019, the fair value of Re-REMIC non-agency MBS represented a discount of 24.0% 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 2029, is uncertain and dependent on various events such as recapitalizations, refinance transactions and ownership changes among others. As of September 30, 2019, 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 6x to 13x, with a weighted average of 8x, at September 30, 2019.

Excluding government guaranteed, LHFS that were nonperforming or 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest were not material at September 30, 2019.

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.


28 BB&T Corporation



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 and revolving credit commitments have an immaterial fair value as BB&T typically has the ability to cancel such commitments.

NOTE 16. 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. For client swaps, hedges are executed with dealer counterparties to offset market risk.
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

In the second quarter of 2019, BB&T began applying the offsetting provisions for contracts that are covered by legally enforceable master netting agreements. Application of these provisions was not material to BB&T's consolidated financial statements. Gross amounts are presented in the December 31, 2018 consolidated balance sheet.

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 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 BB&T, 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

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, 2018 for additional disclosures with respect to significant laws and regulations affecting BB&T.

In April 2019, the FRB terminated its cease and desist order related to BB&T's anti-money laundering program. No money laundering activity was identified and no financial penalty was levied in relation to this order.

In July 2019, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that reduces regulatory burden by simplifying the capital treatment for mortgage servicing rights, certain deferred tax assets, investments in the capital instruments of unconsolidated financial institutions and minority interest. The final rule applies to non-advanced approaches banking organizations and is effective April 1, 2020.

In July 2019, the FDIC amended the rules related to recordkeeping requirements and timely deposit insurance determination to allow covered IDIs an optional one year extension of the original compliance deadline to April 1, 2021. The rule requires IDIs with two million or more deposit accounts to maintain complete and accurate data on each depositor's ownership interest by right and capacity and to develop the capability to calculate the insured and uninsured amounts for each deposit owner by ownership right and capacity.

In October 2019, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will tailor rules for large banking companies based on risk profile. The final rule creates five broad categories of firms, with each category having a specific set of tailored regulatory requirements. Under the final rule, firms with between $250 billion and $700 billion in assets, and less than $75 billion in certain other risk-related exposures, will be permitted to exclude AOCI from the calculation of regulatory capital and will no longer be subject to the advanced approaches calculation for risk-based capital. Additionally, these firms will be subject to a reduced daily LCR and NSFR and will only be required to report company run stress tests every other year. The rule will be effective 60 days after publication in the federal register.

Executive Overview
 
Overview of Significant Events and Financial Results

On February 7, 2019, BB&T entered into an agreement and plan of merger, by and between BB&T and SunTrust, pursuant to which SunTrust will merge with and into BB&T, with BB&T as the surviving entity in the merger. Immediately following the merger, SunTrust's wholly owned subsidiary, SunTrust Bank, will merge with and into Branch Bank, with Branch Bank as the surviving entity. Under the terms of the merger agreement, shareholders of SunTrust will receive 1.295 shares of BB&T common stock for each share of SunTrust common stock. The merger agreement was unanimously approved by both companies' Boards of Directors. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions, including receipt of remaining regulatory approvals. The merger is subject to a mutual break-up fee of approximately $1.1 billion, payable in customary circumstances. Merger-of-equals significant milestones and updates include:

On July 10, 2019, BB&T received regulatory approval from the NCCOB for the pending merger-of-equals with SunTrust. Management is continuing to work with regulators on the remaining approvals.
On July 16, 2019, BB&T and SunTrust announced the Truist Bank Community Benefits Plan under which the combined company will lend or invest $60 billion to low and moderate-income borrowers and communities over a three-year period from 2020 to 2022.
Management agreed on a one-time bonus to be paid to certain associates of Truist following the closing of the merger. The estimated bonus payments total approximately $70 million.
On July 24, 2019, the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services held a hearing on the merger. BB&T and SunTrust executives delivered testimony and responded to questions from Committee members.
On July 30, 2019, BB&T and SunTrust shareholders approved the merger. In addition, BB&T's shareholders approved Truist Financial Corporation to be the name of the combined company.
In September 2019, BB&T and SunTrust named approximately 75% of Truist leadership roles, finalized a vast majority of key technology ecosystem decisions and completed a legal day one readiness testing exercise for key workstreams.


36 BB&T Corporation



Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2019 was $735 million. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the third quarter of 2019 were $0.95, a decrease of $0.06 compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Results for the third quarter of 2019, included $34 million ($26 million after-tax) of merger-related and restructuring charges and $52 million ($40 million after-tax) of incremental operating expenses related to the merger of equals with SunTrust. In addition, results included an after-tax reduction in net income available to common shareholders of $46 million from the redemption of preferred stock, partially offset by a $15 million after-tax impact from the sale of $4.3 billion of residential mortgage loans. Results for the third quarter of 2018 included $18 million ($13 million after-tax) of merger-related and restructuring charges primarily related to facilities optimization activities and the Regions Insurance acquisition.
 
BB&T's results of operations for the third quarter of 2019 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.41% and an annualized return on average common shareholders' equity of 10.04%, compared to ratios for the same quarter of the prior year of 1.49% and 11.69%, respectively.

Total revenues on a TE basis were $3.0 billion for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $73 million compared to the same period in 2018, which reflects an increase of $9 million in TE net interest income and an increase of $64 million in noninterest income.

The provision for credit losses was $117 million compared to $135 million for the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in the provision for credit losses was primarily due to the residential mortgage loan sale in the current quarter and a decrease in the reserve for unfunded commitments. Net charge-offs were 0.41% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis for the third quarter of 2019, up six basis points compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2019 increased $64 million compared to the earlier quarter primarily due to increases in insurance income, mortgage banking income, and investment banking and brokerages fees and commissions. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other income.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2019 was up $98 million compared to the earlier quarter. Excluding merger-related and restructuring charges and incremental operating expenses related to the merger, noninterest expense was up $30 million.

The provision for income taxes was $218 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $210 million for the earlier quarter. This produced an effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 of 20.8%, compared to 20.0% for the earlier quarter.

BB&T issued $1.7 billion of preferred stock during the quarter and redeemed a similar amount from two higher-cost issuances. In connection with the redemptions, net income available to common shareholders was reduced by $46 million to recognize the difference in the redemption price and the carrying value.

BB&T declared common dividends of $0.450 per share during the third quarter of 2019, which resulted in a dividend payout ratio of 46.9%. As previously communicated, BB&T has suspended its share repurchase program due to the merger-of-equals.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and NIM
 
Third Quarter 2019 compared to Third Quarter 2018
 
Net interest income on a TE basis was $1.7 billion for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $9 million compared to the same period in 2018. Interest income increased $145 million, which reflects higher rates and loan growth. Interest expense increased $136 million primarily due to higher funding costs reflecting the impact of rate increases.
 
Net interest margin was 3.37%, down ten basis points compared to the earlier quarter. Average earning assets increased $7.2 billion. The increase in average earning assets reflects a $4.6 billion increase in average total loans and leases and a $2.6 billion increase in average securities. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $7.1 billion compared to the earlier quarter. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $6.4 billion and average short-term borrowings increased $2.3 billion, while average long-term debt decreased $1.6 billion. The yield on the total loan portfolio for the third quarter of 2019 was 4.98%, up 15 basis points compared to the earlier quarter, reflecting the impact of rate increases. The yield on the average securities portfolio was 2.60%, up 13 basis points compared to the earlier period.

The average cost of total deposits was 0.67%, up 24 basis points compared to the earlier quarter. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.99%, up 33 basis points compared to the earlier quarter. The average rate on long-term debt was 3.42%, up 43 basis points compared to the earlier quarter. The average rate on short-term borrowings was 2.55%, up 61 basis points compared to the earlier quarter. The higher rates on interest-bearing liabilities reflect the impact of rate increases.

Provision for Credit Losses

Third Quarter 2019 compared to Third Quarter 2018
 
The provision for credit losses was $117 million compared to $135 million for the earlier quarter. The decrease in the provision for credit losses was primarily due to the residential mortgage loan sale in the current quarter and a decrease in the reserve for unfunded commitments. The decrease in the reserve for unfunded commitments was due to the resolution of a commercial credit. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2019 totaled $153 million compared to $127 million in the earlier period.

Net charge-offs were 0.41% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis for the third quarter of 2019, up six basis points compared to the third quarter of 2018. The increase in net charge-offs was primarily related to indirect and direct loans, as well as revolving credit.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income is a significant contributor to BB&T's financial results. Management focuses on diversifying its sources of revenue to further reduce BB&T's reliance on traditional spread-based interest income, as certain fee-based activities are a relatively stable revenue source during periods of changing interest rates.

Third Quarter 2019 compared to Third Quarter 2018
 
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2019 increased $64 million compared to the earlier quarter. Insurance income increased $39 million due to higher production. Mortgage banking income increased $33 million primarily due to higher production revenues from both residential and commercial mortgage banking businesses. Investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions increased $14 million due to higher managed account fees and higher investment banking transaction revenues. Other income decreased $29 million primarily due to a decrease in income from SBIC private equity investments.

Nine Months of 2019 compared to Nine Months of 2018
 
Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $3.9 billion, up $216 million compared to 2018. Insurance income was $1.6 billion, up $198 million compared to 2018 due to higher production levels and the acquisition of Regions Insurance. Investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions were $372 million, up $34 million compared to 2018 due to higher managed account fees and higher investment banking income. Mortgage banking income was $288 million, up $16 million compared to 2018 primarily due to an increase of $34 million for net mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustments, partially offset by lower production-related revenues due to lower sales volumes. Other income was $298 million, down $49 million compared to 2018 due to lower income from SBIC private equity investments and other sundry items.

Third Quarter 2019 compared to Third Quarter 2018
 
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2019 was up $98 million compared to the earlier quarter. Merger-related and restructuring charges increased $16 million, as the current quarter included charges in connection with the announced merger-of-equals with SunTrust, whereas the earlier quarter included charges associated with facilities optimization and the Regions Insurance acquisition. The current quarter also included $52 million of incremental operating expenses related to the merger. Excluding these charges, noninterest expense was up $30 million, or 1.7% compared to the earlier quarter.

Personnel expense increased $57 million compared to the earlier quarter. Excluding an increase of $39 million in incremental operating expenses related to the merger, personnel expense increased $18 million compared to the earlier quarter. The remaining increase in personnel expense was primarily due to an increase in production-based incentive expense. Professional services expense increased $14 million primarily due to incremental operating expenses related to the merger. Regulatory charges decreased $17 million, primarily the result of the deposit insurance fund reaching the targeted level. Other expense increased $35 million due to higher non-service related pension expense, higher operating charge-offs, higher advertising and marketing expenses and other sundry items.

Nine Months of 2019 compared to Nine Months of 2018
 
Noninterest expense totaled $5.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $211 million, or 4.1%, from the same period in the prior year. Merger-related and restructuring expense was $137 million, an increase of $67 million, primarily due to the announced merger-of-equals with SunTrust. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $63 million of incremental operating expenses related to the merger. Excluding these charges, noninterest expense was up $81 million or 1.6% compared to the earlier period.
 
Personnel expense was $3.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $151 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding $43 million of incremental operating expenses related to the merger, personnel expense increased $108 million, primarily due to higher production-based incentives, including the impact from the Regions Insurance acquisition and lower capitalized employee costs. The lower capitalized employee costs reflect efficiencies in the loan closing process. Regulatory charges decreased $59 million primarily as a result of the DIF reaching the targeted level. Other expense increased $49 million due to higher non-service related pension expense, higher operating charge-offs, higher advertising and marketing expenses and other sundry items.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Investment Activities

The securities portfolio totaled $54.8 billion at September 30, 2019, compared to $45.6 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase in the securities portfolio was primarily due to investing the proceeds from the sale of $4.3 billion in residential mortgage loans and an investment totaling approximately $5 billion in Agency MBS to increase HQLA securities in anticipation of the merger closing.
 
As of September 30, 2019, approximately 5.2% of the securities portfolio was variable rate, compared to 6.5% as of December 31, 2018. The effective duration of the securities portfolio was 4.1 years at September 30, 2019, compared to 4.8 years at December 31, 2018. The duration of the securities portfolio excludes certain non-agency MBS.

U.S. Treasury, GSE and Agency MBS represented 98.2% of the total securities portfolio as of September 30, 2019, compared to 97.3% as of prior year end.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, approximately $7.2 billion in Agency MBS was sold and reinvested in similar assets to improve the portfolio run rate and ensure the appropriate mix of HQLA to meet future LCR requirements in anticipation of the merger closing. The sale is expected to incur a pre-tax loss of approximately $95 million upon final settlement and the reinvested assets will have a payback period of approximately 2.6 years.

Lending Activities

Loans HFI totaled $149.4 billion at September 30, 2019, compared to $149.0 billion at December 31, 2018. 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. In this regard, management made the strategic decision to sell $4.3 billion of residential mortgage loans during the third quarter of 2019. The sale resulted in a pre-tax benefit of $20 million for the quarter, which was composed of a $4 million gain on sale and a $16 million release from the allowance for loan losses.

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. The outstanding balances of variable rate residential mortgage loans in the interest-only phase were approximately $50 million and $64 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At September 30, 2019, approximately 100.0% of the interest-only balances will begin amortizing within the next three years compared to 95.9% at December 31, 2018.

The direct retail portfolio includes variable rate home equity lines and other lines of credit whose rate typically reset on a monthly basis. Home equity lines 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. The following table presents additional information over variable rate lines of credit:

Average loans held for investment for the third quarter of 2019 were $148.7 billion, down $1.8 billion or 4.8% annualized compared to the second quarter of 2019. Excluding the sale of $4.3 billion of residential mortgages in the third quarter, average loans held for investment increased 6.5% annualized compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Average commercial and industrial loans increased $1.2 billion driven by strong growth in mortgage warehouse lending, premium finance, corporate banking and equipment finance.

Average residential mortgage loans held for investment decreased $3.7 billion primarily due to the sale of $4.3 billion of residential mortgage loans. Excluding the sale, average residential mortgage loans increased 7.4% annualized compared to the prior quarter.

Average indirect retail loans increased $483 million. The increase was across all categories of indirect lending. Growth was led by power sports, recreational and automobile lending.

(2)
Excludes TDRs that are nonperforming totaling $115 million, $135 million, $178 million, $176 million and $176 million at September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively. These amounts are included in total nonperforming assets.
(3)
Sales of performing TDRs, which were primarily residential mortgage loans, totaled $39 million, $120 million, $33 million, $15 million and $34 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

Nonperforming assets totaled $509 million at September 30, 2019, down $14 million compared to June 30, 2019. Nonperforming loans and leases represented 0.30% of loans and leases held for investment, unchanged compared to June 30, 2019.

Performing TDRs were down $13 million during the third quarter primarily in commercial and industrial loans and residential mortgage loans, which was partially offset by an increase in indirect loans.


48 BB&T Corporation



Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $403 million at September 30, 2019, down slightly compared to the prior quarter. The ratio of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of loans and leases was 0.27% at September 30, 2019, unchanged compared to 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 September 30, 2019, also unchanged from the prior quarter.

Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing totaled $992 million at September 30, 2019, down $24 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to a decline in residential mortgage loans, which was partially offset by an expected seasonal increase in indirect automobile lending.

Problem loans include NPLs and loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing as disclosed in Table 8. 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 4. Loans and ACL herein for additional disclosures related to these potential problem loans.

This asset quality ratio has been adjusted to remove the impact of government guaranteed mortgage loans and PCI. 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 collectability or might not be comparable to other periods presented or to other portfolios that do not have government guarantees or were not impacted by PCI accounting requirements.

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.

The ACL consists of the ALLL, which is presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the RUFC, which is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The ACL totaled $1.7 billion at September 30, 2019, up $2 million compared to December 31, 2018.

Net charge-offs during the third quarter totaled $153 million, up $11 million compared to the prior quarter. As a percentage of average loans and leases, annualized net charge-offs were 0.41%, up three basis points compared to the prior quarter.

The allowance for loan and lease losses, excluding the allowance for PCI loans, was $1.6 billion, down $22 million compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in the allowance for loan and lease losses was primarily due to the sale of residential mortgage loans during the third quarter. As of September 30, 2019, the total allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.05% of loans and leases held for investment, unchanged compared to June 30, 2019.

The allowance for loan and lease losses was 3.52 times nonperforming loans and leases held for investment, compared to 3.46 times at June 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, the allowance for loan and lease losses was 2.59 times annualized net charge-offs, compared to 2.80 times at June 30, 2019.

BB&T monitors the performance of its home equity loans and lines secured by second liens similarly to other consumer loans and utilizes assumptions specific to these loans in determining the necessary ALLL. BB&T also receives notification when the first lien holder, whether BB&T or another financial institution, has initiated foreclosure proceedings against the borrower. When notified that the first lien is in the process of foreclosure, BB&T obtains valuations to determine if any additional charge-offs or reserves are warranted. These valuations are updated at least annually thereafter.
 
BB&T has limited ability to monitor the delinquency status of the first lien, unless the first lien is held or serviced by BB&T. As a result, using migration assumptions that are based on historical experience and adjusted for current trends, BB&T estimates the volume of second lien positions where the first lien is delinquent and adjusts the ALLL to reflect the increased risk of loss on these credits. Finally, BB&T also provides additional reserves for second lien positions when the estimated combined current loan to value ratio for the credit exceeds 100%. As of September 30, 2019, BB&T held or serviced the first lien on 29.4% of its second lien positions.

Borrowings

At September 30, 2019, short-term borrowings totaled $10.4 billion, an increase of $5.2 billion compared to December 31, 2018. Short-term borrowings fluctuate based on the Company's funding needs. Average short-term borrowings were $8.3 billion or 3.6% of total funding in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to $6.0 billion or 2.7% in the same period of 2018.

Long-term debt provides funding and, to a lesser extent, regulatory capital, and primarily consists of senior and subordinated notes issued by BB&T and Branch Bank. Long-term debt totaled $25.5 billion at September 30, 2019, an increase of $1.8 billion compared to December 31, 2018. The increase is primarily due to BB&T issuances of $3.5 billion of senior notes and $650 million of subordinated notes, and Branch Bank issuances of $750 million of subordinated notes; partially offset by the maturities of $1.8 billion of senior notes issued by Branch Bank and $1.6 billion of senior notes issued by BB&T. The average cost of long-term debt was 3.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, up 57 basis points compared to the same period in 2018.

FHLB advances represented 6.4% of total outstanding long-term debt at September 30, 2019, compared to 7.4% at December 31, 2018. See Note 9. Long-Term Debt for additional disclosures.

Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders' equity was $32.3 billion at September 30, 2019, an increase of $2.1 billion from December 31, 2018. BB&T issued $1.7 billion of preferred stock during the quarter and redeemed a similar amount from two higher-cost issuances. In connection with the redemptions, net income available to common shareholders was reduced by $46 million to recognize the difference in the redemption price and the carrying value. Other significant changes include net income of $2.5 billion and an increase in AOCI of $689 million, which was partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 billion for common and preferred dividends. BB&T's book value per common share at September 30, 2019 was $38.07, compared to $35.46 at December 31, 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.

For the merger of equals, BB&T and SunTrust are utilizing a comprehensive change risk management program to ensure appropriate management of the risks related to merging and integrating the two companies. The Board of Directors and Executive Management oversee the change risk management program to ensure key decisions are reviewed and appropriate oversight of integration risks occurs. The risk management organizations of BB&T and SunTrust are engaged in risk oversight of the merger integration planning. The risk oversight process provides comprehensive risk management reporting and assessments of the activities underway by the companies. The change risk teams, risk oversight teams and Executive Management collectively provide a comprehensive framework for the management, control and oversight of the merger to prepare for the integration.

On July 27, 2017, the Chief Executive of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the LIBOR rates after 2021. LIBOR in its current form may no longer be available after 2021, which could impact the products listed below. To prepare for the possible transition to an alternative reference rate, management has formed a cross-functional project team to address the LIBOR transition. The project team has performed an assessment to identify the potential risks related to the transition from LIBOR to a new index. The project provides regular reports to the Board of Directors and Risk Management Committee.


BB&T Corporation 53



BB&T has LIBOR-based contracts that extend beyond 2021 included in loans and leases, securities, deposits, short-term borrowings, long-term debt and derivative financial instruments. The project team is reviewing contract fallback language for loans and leases and noted that certain contracts will need updated provisions for the transition and is coordinating with impacted lines of business to update LIBOR fallback language generally consistent with the ARRC recommendation. BB&T is continuing to evaluate the impact on these contracts and other financial instruments, systems implications, hedging strategies, and other related operational and market risks. Market risks associated are dependent on the alternative reference rates available and market conditions at transition. For a further discussion of the various risks associated with the potential cessation of LIBOR and the transition to alternative reference rates, refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December, 31, 2018 under the section titled "Item 1A. Risk Factors."

The principal types of inherent risk include compliance, credit, liquidity, market, operational, cyber security, model, reputation and strategic risks. Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 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 September 30, 2019, BB&T had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $72.1 billion, with a net fair value of $641 million. See Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments for additional disclosures.
 
The majority of BB&T's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ 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 asset and liability values 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 beta, 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.

Rate sensitivity decreased from September 30, 2018, primarily driven by loan, deposit mix changes and the increase in HQLA securities. Rate sensitivity was more neutral at September 30, 2019 as the Consolidated Balance Sheet is in process of being repositioned in anticipation of the merger closing.

Management considers 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 deposit beta of approximately 60% 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. 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.

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 September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 also has the ability to utilize sources such as FHLB letters of credit to reduce the securities we have pledged.

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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, BB&T's liquid asset buffer was 18.2% and 14.7%, 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. As previously mentioned, in October 2019, the federal banking agencies adopted final rules for liquidity requirements that would amend the full LCR such that BHC's with assets between $250 billion and $700 billion, and less than $75 billion in certain other risk related exposures, would be subject to a reduced LCR. See additional disclosures in the "Regulatory Considerations" section.


56 BB&T Corporation



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 preliminary modified average LCR was approximately 139% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, 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 modified LCR averaged less than 2% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 with a maximum daily change of 17% as the Consolidated Balance Sheet is in process of being repositioned in anticipation of the merger closing.

BB&T routinely evaluates the impact of becoming subject to the full LCR requirement. This includes an evaluation of the changes to the balance sheet and investment strategy that would be necessary to comply with the requirement. Management does not currently expect the required changes to have a material impact on BB&T's financial condition or results of operations.

Parent Company
 
The purpose of the Parent Company is to serve as the primary source of capital for the operating subsidiaries. The Parent Company's assets primarily consist 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.
 
The primary source of funds used for Parent Company cash requirements was dividends received from subsidiaries. See Note 15. Parent Company Financial Information of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for additional information regarding dividends from subsidiaries and debt transactions.

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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Parent Company had 32 months and 28 months, respectively, of cash on hand to satisfy projected contractual cash outflows, and 28 months and 19 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 Branch 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 Branch 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 Branch 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 September 30, 2019, Branch Bank has approximately $89.1 billion of secured borrowing capacity, which represents approximately 4.0 times the amount of one year wholesale funding maturities.

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.

BB&T regularly performs stress testing on its capital levels and is required to periodically submit the company's capital plans to the banking regulators. On February 5, 2019, the FRB notified banks with less than $250 billion in assets that they will not need to participate in the 2019 supervisory stress test.
 
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 internal 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 all regulatory minimums.

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 to return to these targeted operating minimums within a reasonable period of time through capital planning. 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 forecasted to occur within a reasonable time period.

BB&T's capital ratios are presented in the following table:

Tangible common equity and related measures are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of intangible assets, net of deferred taxes, 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 September 30, 2019. BB&T declared common dividends of $0.450 per share during the third quarter of 2019, which resulted in dividend and total payout ratios of 46.9%. The Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend of 11.1% at their July meeting. As previously communicated, BB&T has suspended its share repurchases under the 2018 Repurchase Plan due to the merger-of-equals.

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 policies include accounting for the ACL, determining fair value of financial instruments, intangible assets, and costs and benefit obligations associated with pension and postretirement benefit plans. Understanding BB&T's accounting policies is fundamental to understanding the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. The critical accounting policies are discussed 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, 2018. Significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1. Basis of Presentation in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Additional disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in the Note 1. Basis of Presentation included herein. There have been no other changes to the significant accounting policies during 2019.
