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 Truist. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations and assumptions regarding Truist’s business, the economy, and other future conditions. Such statements involve inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As such, Truist’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements. While there can be no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation, as well as the risks and uncertainties more fully discussed in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors in Truist’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021:

•residual risks and uncertainties relating to the Merger of heritage BB&T and heritage SunTrust, including the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger;

•expenses relating to the Merger and application and data center decommissioning;

•deposit attrition, client loss or revenue loss following completed mergers or acquisitions may be greater than anticipated;

•the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the global economy and adversely impacted Truist’s financial condition and results of operations, including through increased expenses, reduced fee income and net interest margin, decreased demand for certain types of loans, and increases in the allowance for credit losses; a resurgence of the pandemic, whether due to new variants of the coronavirus or other factors, could reintroduce or prolong these negative impacts and also adversely affect Truist’s capital and liquidity position or cost of capital, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, cause an outflow of deposits, and impair goodwill or other assets;

•Truist is subject to credit risk by lending or committing to lend money, and may have more credit risk and higher credit losses to the extent that loans are concentrated by loan type, industry segment, borrower type or location of the borrower or collateral;

•changes in the interest rate environment, including the replacement of LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark, which could adversely affect Truist’s revenue and expenses, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital, cash flows, and liquidity;

•inability to access short-term funding or liquidity, loss of client deposits or changes in Truist’s credit ratings, which could increase the cost of funding or limit access to capital markets;

•risk management oversight functions may not identify or address risks adequately, and management may not be able to effectively manage credit risk;

•risks resulting from the extensive use of models in Truist’s business, which may impact decisions made by management and regulators;

•failure to execute on strategic or operational plans, including the ability to successfully complete or integrate mergers and acquisitions;

•increased competition, including from (i) new or existing competitors that could have greater financial resources or be subject to different regulatory standards, and (ii) products and services offered by non-bank financial technology companies, may reduce Truist’s client base, cause Truist to lower prices for its products and services in order to maintain market share or otherwise adversely impact Truist’s businesses or results of operations;

•failure to maintain or enhance Truist’s competitive position with respect to new products, services and technology, whether it fails to anticipate client expectations or because its technological developments fail to perform as desired or do not achieve market acceptance or regulatory approval or for other reasons, may cause Truist to lose market share or incur additional expense;

•negative public opinion, which could damage Truist’s reputation;

•increased scrutiny regarding Truist’s consumer sales practices, training practices, incentive compensation design, and governance;

•regulatory matters, litigation or other legal actions, which may result in, among other things, costs, fines, penalties, restrictions on Truist’s business activities, reputational harm, negative publicity, or other adverse consequences;

•evolving legislative, accounting and regulatory standards, including with respect to climate, capital, and liquidity requirements, and results of regulatory examinations may adversely affect Truist’s financial condition and results of operations;

•the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and its agencies, including in response to rising inflation, could have a material adverse effect on the economy and Truist’s profitability;

•accounting policies and processes require management to make estimates about matters that are uncertain, including the potential write down to goodwill if there is an elongated period of decline in market value for Truist’s stock and adverse economic conditions are sustained over a period of time;

•general economic or business conditions, either globally, nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, and instability in global geopolitical matters or volatility in financial markets could result in, among other things, slower deposit or asset growth, a deterioration in credit quality, or a reduced demand for credit, insurance, or other services;

•risks related to originating and selling mortgages, including repurchase and indemnity demands from purchasers related to representations and warranties on loans sold, which could result in an increase in the amount of losses for loan repurchases;

•risks relating to Truist’s role as a loan servicer, including an increase in the scope or costs of the services Truist is required to perform, without any corresponding increase in servicing fees or a breach of Truist’s obligations as servicer;

•Truist’s success depends on hiring and retaining key teammates, and if these individuals leave or change roles without effective replacements, Truist’s operations and integration activities could be adversely impacted, which could be exacerbated in the increased work-from-home environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic as job markets may be less constrained by physical geography;

•fraud or misconduct by internal or external parties, which Truist may not be able to prevent, detect, or mitigate;

•security risks, including denial of service attacks, hacking, social engineering attacks targeting Truist’s teammates and clients, malware intrusion, data corruption attempts, system breaches, cyber-attacks, which have increased in frequency with current geopolitical tensions, identity theft, ransomware attacks, and physical security risks, such as natural disasters, environmental conditions, and intentional acts of destruction, could result in the disclosure of confidential information, adversely affect Truist’s business or reputation or create significant legal or financial exposure; and

•widespread outages of operational, communication, or other systems, whether internal or provided by third parties, natural or other disasters (including acts of terrorism and pandemics), and the effects of climate change, including physical risks, such as more frequent and intense weather events, and risks related to the transition to a lower carbon economy, such as regulatory or technological changes or shifts in market dynamics or consumer preferences, could have an adverse effect on Truist’s financial condition and results of operations, lead to material disruption of Truist’s operations or the ability or willingness of clients to access Truist’s products and services.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, Truist undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements.

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 annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The information contained in the financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. There were no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 that could have a material effect on the Company’s 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 during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the ACL; determination of fair value for securities, MSRs, LHFS, trading loans, and derivative assets and liabilities; goodwill and other intangible assets; income taxes; and pension and postretirement benefit obligations.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements


Standard / Adoption Date	Description	Effects on the Financial Statements



Standards Not Yet Adopted
Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures January 1, 2023	Eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, requires disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases.	Truist has created a project plan and is actively engaged with its lines of business to establish reporting mechanisms consistent with the requirements of this standard. While implementation efforts are ongoing, the Company does not expect that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on the Company. Upon adoption, Truist expects the newly required disclosures to be included in the Loans and ACL footnote.
Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method January 1, 2023	Introduces the portfolio layer method, which expands the current single-layer method to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio under the method (previously named, last-of-layer method). Additionally, expands the scope of the portfolio layer method to include non-prepayable assets, specifies eligible hedging instruments in a single-layer hedge, provides additional guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of hedge basis adjustments under the portfolio layer method, specifies how hedge basis adjustments should be considered when determining credit losses for the assets included in the closed portfolio.	Truist is continuing to evaluate the use of the portfolio layer method in its hedging programs, although future use of the standard is dependent on its asset-liability management strategies in the context of the then current interest rate outlook. Truist does not believe adoption of the standard will have a material impact on its active last-of-layer hedges.

NOTE 2. Business Combinations

On March 1, 2022, Truist acquired Kensington Vanguard National Land Services, one of the country’s largest independent full-service national title insurance agencies, which resulted in approximately $198 million of goodwill and $138 million of identifiable intangible assets in the IH segment. Fair value estimates related to the acquired assets and liabilities are subject to adjustment during the one-year measurement period following the closing of the acquisition. The intangible assets are being amortized over a term of 15 years based upon the estimated duration of economic benefits received. Goodwill of $130 million and identifiable intangible assets of $110 million are deductible for tax purposes.

NOTE 3. Securities Financing Activities

Securities purchased under agreements to resell are primarily collateralized by U.S. government or agency securities and are carried at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently sold, plus accrued interest. Securities borrowed are primarily collateralized by corporate securities. The Company borrows securities and purchases securities under agreements to resell as part of its securities financing activities. On the acquisition date of these securities, the Company and the related counterparty agree on the amount of collateral required to secure the principal amount loaned under these arrangements. The Company monitors collateral values daily and calls for additional collateral to be provided as warranted under the respective agreements. The following table presents securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell:


(Dollars in millions)	Jun 30, 2022		Dec 31, 2021
Securities purchased under agreements to resell	$	2,010	$	3,460
Securities borrowed	640		568
Total securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell	$	2,650	$	4,028

Fair value of collateral held available to be resold or repledged	$	2,637	$	4,005
Fair value of securities repledged	707		1,141

For securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the Company would be obligated to provide additional collateral in the event of a significant decline in fair value of the collateral pledged. This risk is managed by monitoring the liquidity and credit quality of the collateral, as well as the maturity profile of the transactions. Refer to “Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information related to pledged securities. The following table presents the Company’s related activity, by collateral type and remaining contractual maturity:

In the first quarter of 2022, Truist transferred $59.4 billion of AFS securities to HTM as the Company continues to execute upon its asset-liability management strategies. Management determined that it has both the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. On the date of transfer, the difference between the par value and the fair value of these securities, which was recorded as a loss in AOCI, resulted in a net discount of $3.7 billion, inclusive of $510 million of basis adjustment gains from terminated fair value hedges attributable to the transferred securities. The discount will be accreted and unrealized loss in AOCI will be amortized, offsetting within interest income over the remaining life of the securities using the interest method. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of this transfer.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of certain MBS securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC that exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity are shown in the table below:


	Jun 30, 2022
(Dollars in millions)	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
FNMA	$	44,022	$	39,503
FHLMC	44,548		39,828

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 be shorter than the contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay their obligations with or without penalties.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no ACL was established for AFS or HTM securities. Substantially all of the unrealized losses on the securities portfolio, including non-agency MBS, 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. HTM debt securities consist of residential agency MBS. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to incur any credit losses on HTM investment securities.

NOTE 5. Loans and ACL

The following tables present loans and leases HFI by aging category. Government guaranteed loans are not placed on nonperforming status regardless of delinquency because collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured. The past due status of loans that received a deferral under the CARES Act is generally frozen during the deferral period. In certain limited circumstances, accommodation programs result in the delinquency status being reset to current.

(1)Includes the amounts for the ALLL for PCD acquisitions, and other activity.

The commercial ALLL decreased $11 million and $184 million and the consumer ALLL increased $28 million and decreased $62 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The decreases, with the exception of the consumer portfolio for purposes of the three months ended June 30, 2022 which saw a slight increase, reflect a continued favorable credit environment tempered by uncertainty associated with inflation, supply chain disruption, rising rates, and geopolitical events, partially offset by growth in the loan portfolio.

The RUFC decreased $6 million and $13 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The decreases reflect a continued favorable credit environment.

The quantitative models have been designed to estimate losses using macro-economic forecasts over a reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years, followed by a reversion to long-term historical loss conditions over a one-year period. Forecasts of macroeconomic variables used in loss forecasting include, but are not limited to, unemployment trends, US real GDP, corporate credit spreads, rental rates, property values, the primary 30-year mortgage rate, home price indices, and used car prices.

The primary economic forecast incorporates a third-party baseline forecast that is adjusted to reflect Truist’s interest rate outlook. Management also considers optimistic and pessimistic third-party macro-economic forecasts in order to capture uncertainty in the economic environment. These forecasts, along with the primary economic forecast, are weighted 40% baseline, 30% optimistic, and 30% pessimistic in the June 30, 2022 ACL, unchanged since December 31, 2021. While the scenario weightings were unchanged, each forecast scenario reflected a moderate deterioration in certain economic variables over the reasonable and supportable forecast period when compared to the prior period. The primary economic forecast shaping the ACL estimate at June 30, 2022 included GDP growth in the low-single digits and an unemployment rate starting in the low-single digits with a slight increase towards mid-single digits by the end of the reasonable and supportable forecast period.

Quantitative models have certain limitations with respect to estimating expected losses, particularly in times of rapidly changing macro-economic conditions and forecasts. As a result, management believes that the qualitative component of the ACL, which incorporates management’s expert judgment related to expected future credit losses, will continue to be an important component of the ACL for the foreseeable future. The June 30, 2022 ACL estimate includes adjustments to consider the impact of current and expected events or risks not captured by the loss forecasting models, the outcomes of which are uncertain and may not be completely considered by quantitative models. Refer to “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information.

NOTE 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company performed a qualitative assessment of current events and circumstances, including macroeconomic and market factors, industry and banking sector events, Truist specific performance indicators, and a comparison of management’s forecast and assumptions to those used in its October 1, 2021 quantitative impairment test, concluding that it was not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of one or more of its reporting units is below its respective carrying amount as of June 30, 2022, and therefore no triggering event occurred that required a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Refer to “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to operating segments are reflected in the table below. Activity during 2022 reflects the acquisition of Kensington Vanguard National Land Services. Activity during 2021 primarily reflects the acquisitions of Service Finance, LLC, and Constellation Affiliated Partners. Refer to “Note 2. Business Combinations” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information on the acquisitions and “Note 18. Operating Segments” for additional information on segments.

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. See “Note 15. Fair Value Disclosures” for additional information on the valuation techniques used.

NOTE 12. Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the provision for income taxes was $372 million and $415 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 19.5% and 20.0%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the provision for income taxes was $702 million and $766 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 19.2% and 19.7%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily driven by lower pre-tax income. The lower effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily driven by changes in discrete taxes. The Company calculated the provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income and adjusting for discrete items that occurred during the period.

Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees

In the normal course of business, Truist utilizes certain financial instruments to meet the financing needs of clients and to mitigate exposure to risks. Such financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and certain contractual agreements, including standby letters of credit and financial guarantee arrangements.

The following is a summary of selected notional amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments:


(Dollars in millions)	Jun 30, 2022		Dec 31, 2021
Commitments to extend, originate, or purchase credit	$	210,385	$	198,658
Residential mortgage loans sold with recourse	214		244

Total Return Swaps

The Company facilitates matched book TRS transactions on behalf of clients, whereby a VIE purchases reference assets identified by a client and the Company enters into a TRS with the VIE, with a mirror-image TRS facing the client. The Company provides senior financing to the VIE in the form of demand notes to fund the purchase of the reference assets. Reference assets are typically fixed income instruments primarily composed of syndicated bank loans. The TRS contracts pass through interest and other cash flows on the reference assets to the third party clients, along with exposing those clients to decreases in value on the assets and providing them with the rights to appreciation on the assets. The terms of the TRS contracts require the third parties to post initial margin collateral, as well as ongoing margin as the fair values of the underlying reference assets change. The following table provides a summary of the TRS transactions with VIE purchases. VIE assets include trading loans and bonds:


(Dollars in millions)	Jun 30, 2022		Dec 31, 2021
Total return swaps:
VIE assets	$	1,531	$	1,519
Trading loans and bonds	1,440		1,491
VIE liabilities	73		50

The Company concluded that the associated VIEs should be consolidated because the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant. The activities of the VIEs are restricted to buying and selling the reference assets and the risks/benefits of any such assets owned by the VIEs are passed to the third party clients via the TRS contracts. For additional information on TRS contracts and the related VIEs, see “Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments.”

Pledged Assets

Certain assets were pledged to secure municipal deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, certain derivative agreements, and borrowings or borrowing capacity, as well as to fund certain obligations related to nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. Assets pledged to the FHLB and FRB are subject to applicable asset discounts when determining borrowing capacity. The Company obtains secured financing and letters of credit from the FRB and FHLB. The Company’s letters of credit from the FHLB can be used to secure various client deposits, including public fund relationships. Excluding assets related to nonqualified benefit plans, the majority of the agreements governing the pledged assets do not permit the other party to sell or repledge the collateral. The following table provides the total carrying amount of pledged assets by asset type:


(Dollars in millions)	Jun 30, 2022		Dec 31, 2021
Pledged securities	$	28,837	$	29,678

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

Truist and/or its subsidiaries are routinely named as defendants in or parties to numerous actual or threatened legal proceedings, including civil litigation and regulatory investigations or enforcement matters, arising from the ordinary conduct of its regular business activities. The matters range from individual actions involving a single plaintiff to class action lawsuits with many class members and can involve claims for substantial or indeterminate alleged damages or for injunctive or other relief. Investigations may involve both formal and informal proceedings, by both governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations, and could result in fines, penalties, restitution, and/or alterations in Truist’s business practices. These legal proceedings are at varying stages of adjudication, arbitration, or investigation and may consist of a variety of claims, including common law tort and contract claims, as well as statutory antitrust, securities, and consumer protection claims. The ultimate resolution of any proceeding and the timing of such resolution is uncertain and inherently difficult to predict. 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 Truist, or cause significant reputational consequences.

Truist establishes accruals for legal matters when potential losses associated with the actions become probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. There is no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not significantly exceed the amounts that Truist has accrued. Accruals for legal matters are based on management’s best judgment after consultation with counsel and others.

The Company estimates reasonably possible losses, in excess of amounts accrued, of up to approximately $200 million as of June 30, 2022. This estimate does not represent Truist’s maximum loss exposure, and actual losses may vary significantly. In addition, the matters underlying this estimate will change from time to time. Estimated losses are based upon currently available information and involve considerable judgment, given that claims often include significant legal uncertainties, damages alleged by plaintiffs are often unspecified or overstated, discovery may not have started or may not be complete, and material facts may be disputed or unsubstantiated, among other factors.

For certain matters, Truist may be unable to estimate the loss or range of loss, even if it believes that a loss is probable or reasonably possible, until developments in the case provide additional information sufficient to support such an estimate. Such matters are not accrued for and are not reflected in the estimate of reasonably possible losses.

The following is a description of certain legal proceedings in which Truist is involved:

Bickerstaff v. SunTrust Bank

This class action case was filed in the Fulton County State Court on July 12, 2010, and an amended complaint was filed on August 9, 2010. Plaintiff asserts that all overdraft fees charged to his account which related to debit card and ATM transactions are actually interest charges and therefore subject to the usury laws of Georgia. Plaintiff has brought claims for violations of civil and criminal usury laws, conversion, and money had and received, and seeks damages on a class-wide basis, including refunds of challenged overdraft fees and pre-judgment interest. On October 6, 2017, the trial court granted plaintiff’s motion for class certification and defined the class as “Every Georgia citizen who had or has one or more accounts with SunTrust Bank and who, from July 12, 2006, to October 6, 2017 (i) had at least one overdraft of $500.00 or less resulting from an ATM or debit card transaction (the “Transaction”); (ii) paid any Overdraft Fees as a result of the Transaction; and (iii) did not receive a refund of those Fees,” and the granting of a certified class was affirmed on appeal. On April 8, 2020, the Company filed a motion seeking to narrow the scope of this class, and on May 29, 2020, it filed a renewed motion to compel arbitration of the claims of some of the class members. On February 9, 2021, the trial court denied both motions as premature. Truist filed a second renewed motion to compel arbitration against certain class members on July 5, 2022. The Company continues to believe that the underlying claims are without merit.

United Services Automobile Association v. Truist Bank

USAA filed a lawsuit on July 29, 2022 against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Company’s mobile remote deposit capture systems infringe certain patents held by USAA. The complaint seeks damages, including for alleged willful infringement, as well as injunctive and other equitable relief.

NOTE 15. Fair Value Disclosures

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards define fair value as the 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 measurement hierarchy:

•Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets

•Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets

•Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable

The following tables present fair value information for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table provides information about certain assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis still held as of period end. The carrying values represent end of period values, which approximate the fair value measurements that occurred on the various measurement dates throughout the period. These assets are considered to be Level 3 assets.


(Dollars in millions)	Jun 30, 2022		Dec 31, 2021
Carrying value:
LHFS	$	114	$	101
Loans and leases	402		443
Other	50		100

The following table provides information about valuation adjustments for certain assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The valuation adjustments represent the amounts recorded during the period regardless of whether the asset is still held at period end.


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2022		2021
Valuation adjustments:
LHFS	$	(4)	$	(26)
Loans and leases	(165)		(243)
Other	(160)		(127)

LHFS with valuation adjustments in the table above consisted primarily of residential mortgages and commercial loans that were valued using market prices and measured at LOCOM. The table above excludes $375 million and $1.2 billion of LHFS carried at cost at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, that did not require a valuation adjustment during the period. The remainder of LHFS is carried at fair value.

Loans and leases consists of larger commercial loans and leases that are collateral-dependent and other secured loans and leases that have been charged-off to the fair value of the collateral. Valuation adjustments for loans and leases are primarily recorded in the Provision for credit losses in the Consolidated statement of income. Refer to “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional discussion of individually evaluated loans and leases.

Other includes foreclosed real estate, other foreclosed property, ROU assets, premises and equipment, and OREO, and consists primarily of residential homes, commercial properties, vacant lots, and automobiles. ROU assets are measured based on the fair value of the assets, which considers the potential for sublease income. The remaining assets are measured at LOCOM, less costs to sell.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value

For financial instruments not recorded at fair value, estimates of fair value are based on relevant market data and information about the instruments. Values obtained relate to trading 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 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. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. Financial assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value are summarized below:


		June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
(Dollars in millions)	Fair Value Hierarchy	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
HTM securities	Level 2	$	60,081	$	53,905	$	1,494	$	1,495
Loans and leases HFI, net of ALLL	Level 3	299,455		292,846		285,055		284,914
Financial liabilities:

Long-term debt	Level 2	30,319		29,020		35,913		36,251

The carrying value of the RUFC, which approximates the fair value of unfunded commitments, was $247 million and $260 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Credit Derivative Instruments

As part of the Company’s corporate investment banking business, the Company enters into contracts that are, in form or substance, written guarantees; specifically, risk participations, TRS, and credit default swaps. The Company accounts for these contracts as derivatives.

Truist has entered into risk participation agreements to share the credit exposure with other financial institutions on client-related interest rate derivative contracts. Under these agreements, the Company has guaranteed payment to a dealer counterparty in the event the counterparty experiences a loss on the derivative due to a failure to pay by the counterparty’s client. The Company manages its payment risk on its risk participations by monitoring the creditworthiness of the underlying client through the normal credit review process that the Company would have performed had it entered into a derivative directly with the obligors. At June 30, 2022, the remaining terms on these risk participations ranged from less than one year to 16 years. The potential future exposure represents the Company’s maximum estimated exposure to written risk participations, as measured by projecting a maximum value of the guaranteed derivative instruments based on scenario simulations and assuming 100% default by all obligors on the maximum value.

The Company has also entered into TRS contracts on loans and bonds. To mitigate its credit risk, the Company typically receives initial margin from the counterparty upon entering into the TRS and variation margin if the fair value of the underlying reference assets deteriorates. For additional information on the Company’s TRS contracts, see “Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies.”

The Company enters into credit default swaps to hedge credit risk associated with certain loans and leases. The Company accounts for these contracts as derivatives, and accordingly, recognizes these contracts at fair value.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

MD&A is intended to assist readers in their analysis of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and supplemental financial information. It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, other information contained in this document, as well as with Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

A description of certain factors that may affect our future results and risk factors is set forth in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Regulatory Considerations

The regulatory framework applicable to banking organizations is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the stability of the financial system, rather than for the protection of shareholders and creditors. Truist is subject to banking laws and regulations, and various other laws and regulations, which affect the operations and management of Truist and its ability to make distributions to shareholders. Truist and its subsidiaries are also subject to supervision and examination by multiple regulators. The descriptions below summarize updates since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 to state and federal laws to which Truist is subject. These descriptions do not summarize all possible or proposed changes in current laws or regulations and are not intended to be a substitute for the related statues or regulatory provisions. Refer to Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional disclosures.

In March 2022, the U.S. enacted federal legislation that is intended to minimize legal and economic uncertainty following U.S. dollar LIBOR’s cessation by replacing LIBOR references in certain contracts under certain circumstances with a SOFR-based rate to be established in a forthcoming FRB rule that incorporates a spread adjustment specified in the statute. While some states have already adopted LIBOR legislation, the federal legislation expressly preempts any provision of any state or local law, statute, rule, regulation, or standard.

Executive Overview

Our second quarter 2022 performance reflects our improved momentum post-integration and the resiliency of our diverse business mix in a volatile market environment. Loan growth was broad-based and we delivered significant expansion of our net interest margin as a result of higher interest rates and our strong deposit franchise. Credit quality remained excellent in the second quarter, also evidenced by our performance during the latest CCAR stress test, with Truist having the second-lowest loan loss rate among our peers under the severely adverse stress scenario. Following our stress test results, we announced an 8% increase in our quarterly cash dividend, which was approved by the Board of Directors at their July meeting.

While certain residual integration activities remain, we’re seeing the early benefits of our shift from integrating to operating and continue to make strategic investments in talent and technology to accelerate our growth. We’re confident Truist is well-positioned to perform in different credit environments given our diverse business mix and strong capital position.

See below for further updates on our ESG efforts and a more detailed discussion of our second quarter financial performance.

Financial Results

Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2022 of $1.5 billion was down 6.7% compared with the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to a benefit in the provision for credit losses last year. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the second quarter of 2022 were $1.09, a decrease of $0.07, or 6.0%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. Truist’s results of operations for the second quarter of 2022 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.14% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 10.3% compared to prior year returns of 1.28% and 10.1%, respectively.

Results for the second quarter of 2022 included merger-related and restructuring charges of $121 million ($92 million after-tax), incremental operating expenses related to the Merger of $117 million ($89 million after-tax), and a gain on the redemption of FHLB advances of $39 million ($30 million after-tax). Results for the second quarter of 2021 included $297 million ($228 million after-tax) of merger-related and restructuring charges, $190 million ($146 million after-tax) of incremental operating expenses related to the Merger, and expense associated with charitable contributions to the Truist Foundation and the Truist Charitable Fund of $200 million ($153 million after-tax).

On a TE basis, revenue was $5.7 billion for the second quarter of 2022, relatively flat compared to the same period in 2021. TE net interest income for the second quarter of 2022 was up $162 million, or 4.9%, compared to the earlier quarter due to higher market interest rates coupled with well controlled deposit costs, growth in the securities portfolio and lower premium amortization. These increases were partially offset by lower purchase accounting accretion and lower PPP revenue. Average earning assets increased $20.6 billion, or 4.5%, compared to the earlier quarter. The increase in average earning assets reflects a $13.0 billion, or 10%, increase in average securities, a $6.9 billion, or 2.4%, increase in total loans and leases, and a $1.0 billion, or 20%, increase in average interest earning trading assets. Average deposits increased $27.5 billion, or 6.9%, and average short term borrowings increased $3.5 billion, or 56%, compared to the earlier quarter, while average long-term debt decreased $5.6 billion, or 15%.

Net interest margin was 2.89%, up one basis point compared to the earlier quarter. The yield on the total loan portfolio for the second quarter of 2022 was 3.91%, down ten basis points compared to the earlier quarter, reflecting the impact of lower purchase accounting accretion, partially offset by higher market interest rates. The yield on the average securities portfolio was 1.82%, up 35 basis points compared to the earlier quarter primarily due to purchases of higher yielding securities, favorable hedge benefits, and lower premium amortization.

The average cost of total deposits was 0.09%, up five basis points compared to the earlier quarter. The average cost of short-term borrowings was 1.26%, up 28 basis points compared to the earlier quarter. The average cost of long-term debt was 1.75%, up 15 basis points compared to the earlier quarter. The increase in rates on deposits and other funding sources was largely attributable to the higher rate environment.

The provision for credit losses was $171 million, compared to a benefit of $434 million for the earlier quarter. The earlier quarter included a reserve release due to the improving credit environment during that period. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $159 million compared to $142 million in the earlier quarter. The net charge-off ratio for the current quarter of 0.22% was up two basis points compared to the earlier quarter.

Truist Financial Corporation 39

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2022 decreased $157 million, or 6.5%, compared to the earlier quarter. Investment banking and trading income decreased $147 million, or 37%, due to lower structured real estate fees, lower high-yield bond and equity originations fees, lower loan syndications, and lower merger and acquisition fees, partially offset by higher trading income due to higher CVA gains. Other income decreased $104 million, or 87%, due to valuation changes from assets held for certain post-retirement benefits, which is primarily offset by lower personnel expense, and lower investment income from the Company’s SBIC investments. Residential mortgage income decreased $43 million, or 37%, as lower production income (due to lower margins and refinance volumes resulting from the higher rate environment) was partially offset by higher servicing income (due to lower prepayments and servicing portfolio purchases). These decreases were partially offset by a $135 million, or 20%, increase in insurance income due to continued strong organic growth and acquisitions.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2022 was down $431 million, or 11%, compared to the earlier quarter. Merger-related and restructuring charges decreased $176 million due to lower costs in connection with the voluntary separation and retirement program and lower costs associated with exiting facilities. Incremental operating expenses related to the Merger decreased $73 million, primarily reflected in professional fees and outside processing expenses and personnel expense. The current quarter includes a $39 million gain on the redemption of FHLB advances. The prior quarter included $200 million of expense associated with charitable contributions to the Truist Foundation and the Truist Charitable Fund (other expense). Excluding the aforementioned items and the amortization of intangibles, adjusted noninterest expense increased $56 million, or 1.8%, compared to the earlier quarter. Personnel expense decreased $105 million, or 4.8%, ($74 million on an adjusted basis) due to lower other employee benefits as a result of the decrease in noninterest income for post-retirement benefits and lower incentives, partially offset by higher salaries due to annual merit increases and higher staffing for insurance (primarily from acquisitions) and enterprise technology. Other expense increased $73 million on an adjusted basis primarily due to increased operational losses and teammate travel expenses. Professional fees and outside processing expenses were up $42 million on an adjusted basis due to increased call center staffing and enterprise technology investments. Marketing and customer development expense was up $27 million due to increased spend to continue to build and strengthen Truist’s brand.

The provision for income taxes was $372 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $415 million for the earlier quarter. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 19.5%, compared to 20.0% for the earlier quarter. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by lower pre-tax income.

Truist’s total assets at June 30, 2022 were $545.1 billion, an increase of $3.9 billion, or 0.7%, compared to December 31, 2021. Total loans and leases at June 30, 2022, were $307.3 billion, an increase of $13.0 billion, or 4.4% compared with December 31, 2021. The increase in loans reflects broad based loan growth across most portfolios primarily in the second quarter of 2022. Total deposits at June 30, 2022 were $424.8 billion, an increase of $8.3 billion, or 2.0%, compared to December 31, 2021.

Asset quality remains excellent, reflecting Truist’s prudent risk culture and diverse portfolio.

Truist maintained strong capital and liquidity levels. As of June 30, 2022, the CET1 ratio was 9.2% and the average LCR for the second quarter of 2022 was 110%. The 20 basis point decline in the CET1 ratio compared to March 31, 2022 primarily reflects strong loan growth and share repurchases. Truist declared common dividends of $0.48 per share in the second quarter of 2022 and repurchased $250 million of common stock, resulting in dividend and total payout ratios of 44% and 61% respectively. Truist completed the 2022 CCAR process during the second quarter of 2022 and received the preliminary stress capital buffer requirement of 2.5% for the period October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023. By August 31, 2022, the Federal Reserve will provide Truist with its final stress capital buffer requirement. In July 2022, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend of 8% to $0.52 beginning in the third quarter of 2022.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and NIM

Second Quarter 2022 compared to Second Quarter 2021

Taxable equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2022 was up $162 million, or 4.9%, compared to the earlier quarter primarily due to higher market interest rates coupled with well controlled deposit costs, growth in the securities portfolio and lower premium amortization. These increases were partially offset by lower purchase accounting accretion and lower PPP revenue. Average earning assets increased $20.6 billion, or 4.5%, compared to the earlier quarter. The increase in average earning assets reflects a $13.0 billion, or 10%, increase in average securities, a $6.9 billion, or 2.4%, increase in total loans and leases, and a $1.0 billion, or 20%, increase in average interest earning trading assets. Average deposits increased $27.5 billion, or 6.9%, and average short term borrowings increased $3.5 billion, or 56%, compared to the earlier quarter, while average long-term debt decreased $5.6 billion, or 15%.

Six Months of 2022 compared to Six Months of 2021

Taxable equivalent net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was up $58 million, or 0.9%, compared to the prior period primarily due to higher market interest rates coupled with well controlled deposit costs, growth in the securities portfolio and lower premium amortization, partially offset by lower purchase accounting accretion and lower PPP revenue. Average earning assets increased $23.3 billion, or 5.2%, compared to the prior period. The increase in average earning assets reflects a $21.7 billion, or 17%, increase in average securities, and a $1.1 billion, or 22%, increase in average interest earning trading assets. Average total loans and leases were relatively flat as a $1.1 billion, or 0.4%, increase in loans and leases held for investment was more than offset by a decline in loans held for sale. Average deposits increased $29.8 billion, or 7.6%, and average short-term borrowings increased $1.8 billion, or 29%, compared to the prior period, while average long-term debt decreased $4.1 billion, or 11%.

Net interest margin was 2.83% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, down 12 basis points compared to the prior period. The yield on the total loan portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 3.80%, down 25 basis points compared to the prior period, reflecting the impact of lower purchase accounting accretion, partially offset by higher market interest rates. The yield on the average securities portfolio was 1.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, up 29 basis points compared to the prior period primarily due to purchases of higher yielding securities, favorable hedge benefits, and lower premium amortization.

The average cost of total deposits was 0.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, up two basis points compared to the prior period. The average cost on short-term borrowings was 0.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, up eight basis points compared to the prior period. The average cost on long-term debt was 1.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, up three basis points compared to the prior period. The increase in rates on deposits and other funding sources was largely attributable to the higher rate environment.

As of June 30, 2022, the remaining unamortized fair value marks on the loan and lease portfolio, deposits, and long-term debt were $924 million, $3 million, and $109 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the remaining unamortized fair value marks on the loan and lease portfolio, deposits and long-term debt were $1.3 billion, $7 million, and $139 million, respectively.

The remaining unamortized fair value mark on loans and leases consist of $559 million for consumer loans and leases, and $365 million for commercial loans and leases. These amounts will be recognized over the remaining contractual lives of the underlying instruments or as paydowns occur.

The major components of net interest income and the related annualized yields as well as the variances between the periods caused by changes in interest rates versus changes in volumes are summarized below.

Provision for Credit Losses

Second Quarter 2022 compared to Second Quarter 2021

Six Months of 2022 compared to Six Months of 2021

The provision for credit losses was $76 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a benefit of $386 million for the prior period. The current period provision expense primarily reflects growth in the loan portfolio, partially offset by a decline in the ALLL ratio, whereas the prior period included reserve release due to the improving credit environment during that period. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $337 million compared to $380 million in the prior period. The net charge-off ratio for the current period of 0.23% was down three basis points compared to the prior period.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income is a significant contributor to Truist’s financial results. Management focuses on diversifying its sources of revenue to reduce Truist’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.

Second Quarter 2022 compared to Second Quarter 2021

44 Truist Financial Corporation

Six Months of 2022 compared to Six Months of 2021

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $212 million, or 4.6%, compared to the prior period. The current period includes net securities losses of $70 million and the gain on the redemption of noncontrolling equity interest (other income) of $74 million. The earlier period included a gain of $37 million from the divestiture of certain businesses (other income). Excluding the aforementioned items, noninterest income was down $179 million, or 3.9%, compared to the prior period. Investment banking and trading income decreased $232 million, or 31%, due to lower merger and acquisition fees, high-yield bond originations, equity originations, structured real estate fees, trading income, and loan syndication fees. Excluding the aforementioned gains, other income decreased $115 million, or 73%, primarily due to a $140 million decrease from assets held for certain post-retirement benefits, which is primarily offset by lower personnel expense. Residential mortgage banking income decreased $54 million as lower production income (due to lower margins and refinance volumes resulting from the higher rate environment) was partially offset by higher servicing income (due to lower prepayments and servicing portfolio purchases.) Commercial mortgage income decreased $22 million primarily due to lower volumes and margins. Insurance income increased $236 million due to continued organic growth and acquisitions. Card and payment related fees increased $33 million due to the first quarter 2022 acquisition of certain merchant services relationships and increased activity.

Noninterest Expense

The following table provides a breakdown of Truist’s noninterest expense:

Truist Financial Corporation 45

Six Months of 2022 compared to Six Months of 2021

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was down $367 million, or 4.8%, compared to the earlier period. Merger-related and restructuring charges decreased $101 million due to lower costs in connection with the voluntary separation and retirement program, partially offset by higher costs for client day one conversions. Incremental operating expenses related to the Merger decreased $46 million, primarily reflected in personnel expense and professional fees and outside processing expenses. The current period includes a $39 million gain on the redemption of FHLB advances. The prior period includes $200 million for charitable contributions to the Truist Foundation and the Truist Charitable Fund (other expense), $36 million of expense associated with an acceleration of loss recognition related to certain terminated cash flow hedges (other expense), and a small gain on the extinguishment of debt. Excluding the aforementioned items and a decrease of $6 million for amortization of intangibles, noninterest expense increased $58 million, or 0.9%, compared to the earlier period. Other expense was up $127 million on an adjusted basis primarily due to increased operational losses and teammate travel expenses. Marketing and customer development expense increased $45 million, or 34%, due to increased spend to continue to build and strengthen Truist’s brand. Personnel expense decreased $196 million, or 4.5%, ($147 million on an adjusted basis) primarily driven by lower other employee benefits as a result of the decrease in noninterest income for post-retirement benefits and lower incentives expenses.

Merger-Related and Restructuring Charges

The following table presents a summary of merger-related and restructuring charges and the related accruals. The 2022 and 2021 merger-related and restructuring costs primarily reflect charges as a result of the Merger, including costs for severance and other benefits, costs related to exiting facilities, and other restructuring initiatives.

Second Quarter 2022 compared to Second Quarter 2021

Consumer Banking and Wealth

CB&W net income was $773 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $26 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income increased $202 million primarily driven by favorable funding credit on deposits attributable to the higher rate environment and higher average loan balances, partially offset by decreased loan spreads and lower purchase accounting accretion. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $203 million reflecting the impact of loan growth in the current quarter and a reserve release in the earlier quarter as well as increased charge offs in the current quarter. Noninterest income decreased $33 million compared to the earlier quarter driven by a decrease in residential mortgage income due to lower production income (due to lower margins and refinance volumes), partially offset by higher servicing income (due to lower prepayments and servicing portfolio purchases.) This decrease is partially offset by higher card and payment fees driven by higher merchant income due to the acquisition of certain merchant services relationships as well as higher consumer spend. Noninterest expense was flat compared to the earlier quarter.

CB&W average loans and leases held for investment increased $3.7 billion, or 2.8%, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the earlier quarter, primarily driven by an increase in residential mortgage balances due to the continued strategy to put certain correspondent channel production onto the balance sheet and lower prepayments. In addition, indirect other increased primarily due to growth from Service Finance and recreational lending partially offset by runoff in other partnership lending programs. These increases were partially offset by lower mortgage warehouse lending as well as runoff in student loans.

Average total deposits increased $14.2 billion, or 5.9%, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the earlier quarter, primarily driven by increases in interest bearing checking, noninterest-bearing deposits, and money market and savings, partially offset by a decline in time deposits.

Corporate and Commercial Banking

C&CB net income was $954 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $352 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income increased $38 million primarily due to higher funding credit on deposits, increases to noninterest-bearing deposit balances, and higher average loan balances, partially offset by lower PPP revenue and lower purchase accounting accretion. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $371 million primarily reflecting an allowance release in the earlier quarter and loan growth in the current quarter, partially offset by lower net charge offs in the current quarter. Noninterest income decreased $172 million compared to the earlier quarter due to lower investment banking revenue, partially offset by higher trading income due to higher CVA gains. Noninterest expense decreased $47 million driven by lower incentive expense tied to lower revenues as well as lower merger-related costs given diminishing integration-related activities in the current quarter.

C&CB average loans held for investment increased $6.5 billion, or 4.2%, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the earlier quarter, primarily due to increases in core commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by decreases in average PPP loans (commercial and industrial) and average commercial real estate and construction loans.

Average total deposits decreased $703 million, or 0.5%, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the earlier quarter, primarily due to declines in average interest bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.

Insurance Holdings

IH net income was $178 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $19 million compared to the earlier quarter. Noninterest income increased $135 million primarily due to continued organic growth and acquisitions. Noninterest expense increased $109 million primarily due to higher performance-based incentives and salaries.

Other, Treasury & Corporate

OT&C generated a net loss of $373 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $606 million in the earlier quarter. Net interest income decreased $81 million primarily due to higher funding credit on deposits to other segments, partially offset by higher earnings in the securities portfolio from higher yields on new purchases and lower premium amortization. Noninterest income decreased $87 million primarily due to valuation changes from assets held for certain post-retirement benefits, which is primarily offset by lower personnel expense. Noninterest expense decreased $502 million compared to the earlier quarter primarily due to charitable contributions to the Truist Foundation and the Truist Charitable Fund in the earlier quarter, lower merger-related and restructuring charges and incremental operating expenses related to the Merger, a gain on the redemption of FHLB advances in the current quarter, and lower personnel expense due to lower other employee benefits as a result of the decrease in noninterest income for post-retirement benefits and lower incentives.

Six Months of 2022 compared to Six Months of 2021

Consumer Banking and Wealth

CB&W net income was $1.6 billion for six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $190 million, or 13%, compared to the same period of the prior year. Segment net interest income increased $400 million primarily due to favorable funding credit on deposits attributable to the higher rate environment and higher average loan and deposit balances, partially offset by decreased loan spreads and lower purchase accounting accretion. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $176 million primarily due to impact of loan growth in the current year and a higher reserve release in the prior year as well as increased charge offs in the current year. Noninterest income and noninterest expense were flat compared to the prior year.

CB&W average loans and leases held for investment increased $936 million, or 0.7%, at June 30, 2022, compared to the same period of the prior year driven primarily by an increase in residential mortgage loans due to the continued strategy to put certain correspondent channel production onto the balance sheet and lower prepayments. In addition, indirect other increased primarily due to growth from Service Finance and recreational lending, partially offset by runoff in other partnership lending programs. These increases were partially offset by lower mortgage warehouse lending as well as runoff in student loans.

CB&W average total deposits increased $18.2 billion, or 7.7%, at June 30, 2022, compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to increases in average money market and savings, interest bearing checking, and noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a decline in time deposits.

CB&W had 2,117 banking offices at June 30, 2022, a decrease of 440 offices compared to June 30, 2021. The decrease in offices was driven primarily by the consolidation of branches as a result of the Merger.

Truist Wealth had assets under management of $180.1 billion as of June 30, 2022, a decrease of $23.0 billion, or 15%, compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to unfavorable market performance.

Corporate and Commercial Banking

C&CB net income was $2.0 billion for six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $328 million, or 14%, compared to the same period of the prior year. Segment net interest income increased $26 million primarily due to higher funding credit on deposits and increases to non-interest bearing deposit balances, partially offset by lower fee income associated with PPP loan forgiveness and lower purchase accounting accretion. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $256 million which reflects lower allowance releases in the current period compared to the prior period and the impact of loan growth in the current period, partially offset by lower net charge offs in the current period. Noninterest income decreased $245 million due lower structured real estate fees, lower loan syndications, lower high yield bond and equity originations fees, and lower merger and acquisition fees, partially offset by higher trading income due to higher CVA gains. Noninterest expense decreased $51 million primarily due to lower incentive expense tied to lower revenues as well as lower merger-related and restructuring charges and incremental operating expenses related to the Merger given diminishing integration-related activities in the current period and lower professional fees and outside processing expenses.

C&CB average loans and leases held for investment increased $1.5 billion, or 0.9%, at June 30, 2022, compared to the same period of the prior year. Excluding an $8.1 billion decrease in average PPP loans, average loans held for investment were up $9.5 billion, or 6.5%, primarily driven by an increase in the commercial and industrial portfolio loans due to higher revolver utilization, partially offset by a decrease in average commercial real estate loans.

Corporate and Commercial Banking average total deposits increased $3.7 billion, or 2.5%, at June 30, 2022, compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to an increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease in interest bearing deposits.

Insurance Holdings

IH net income was $330 million for six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $38 million, or 13%, compared to the same period of the prior year. Noninterest income increased $239 million primarily due to organic growth as well as acquisitions. Noninterest expense increased $189 million primarily due to commissions on higher production and higher salaries in the current year along with higher amortization of intangibles and operating expenses related to acquisitions.

48 Truist Financial Corporation

Other, Treasury, and Corporate

OT&C generated a net loss of $985 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of $902 million in the same period of the prior year. Segment net interest income decreased $369 million due to higher funding credit on deposits to other segments, partially offset by higher earnings in the securities portfolio from higher yields on new purchases and lower premium amortization. Noninterest income decreased $203 million primarily due to valuation changes from assets held for certain post-retirement benefits and losses on the sale of securities in the current year, which is primarily offset by lower personnel expense. Noninterest expense decreased $489 million primarily due to lower personnel expense due to lower other employee benefits as a result of the decrease in noninterest income for post-retirement benefits and lower incentives, charitable contributions to the Truist Foundation and the Truist Charitable Fund in the prior year, lower merger-related and restructuring charges and incremental operating expenses related to the Merger, and a gain on the redemption of FHLB advances in the current year.

The securities portfolio totaled $139.4 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $154.6 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease was due primarily to declines in residential agency MBS. In the first quarter of 2022, Truist transferred $59.4 billion of AFS securities to HTM as the Company continues to execute upon its asset-liability management strategies. As of June 30, 2022, 41% of the investment securities portfolio was held-to-maturity based on amortized cost. During 2022, Truist purchased $9.0 billion of investment securities with a weighted-average interest yield of 2.45%.

As of June 30, 2022, approximately 5.7% of the securities portfolio was variable rate, excluding the impact of swaps, compared to 4.6% as of December 31, 2021. The effective duration of the securities portfolio was 7.1 years at June 30, 2022, compared to 5.8 years at December 31, 2021, excluding the impact of unsettled security purchases at period end. The increase in duration was driven by higher rates, resulting in slower prepayments and longer average lives for the MBS portfolio.

U.S. Treasury, GSE, and Agency MBS represents 97% of the total securities portfolio as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. While the overwhelming majority of the portfolio remains in agency MBS securities, the Company also holds AAA rated non-agency MBS as the risk adjusted returns for these securities are more attractive than agency MBS.

Total average loans and leases HFI	$	296,709	$	288,610	$	286,344	$	286,159	$	288,575

Average loans and leases held for investment for the second quarter of 2022 were $296.7 billion, up $8.1 billion, or 2.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. Excluding a $695 million decrease in average PPP loans, average loans held for investment were up $8.8 billion, or 3.1%.

Average commercial loans increased $5.8 billion, or 3.5%, due to broad-based growth of $6.7 billion, or 4.8%, within the commercial and industrial portfolio. This growth was partially offset by a $1.0 billion decrease in average CRE loans.

Average consumer loans increased $2.2 billion, or 1.9%, due to a $1.3 billion increase in residential mortgages due to the continued strategy to hold certain correspondent channel production on the balance sheet and lower prepayments. In addition, indirect other increased $611 million primarily due to growth from the Service Finance, recreational lending and Sheffield portfolios, partially offset by runoff in other partnership lending programs. Indirect auto increased $408 million primarily in the prime segment of the portfolio and residential home equity and direct increased $241 million. These increases were partially offset by $317 million of runoff in student loans.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 53% and 52%, respectively, of loans and leases HFI were variable rate.

Nonperforming assets totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 2022, up $38 million compared to March 31, 2022 due to an increase in the commercial and industrial portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the residential mortgage portfolio. Nonperforming loans and leases held for investment were 0.36% of loans and leases held for investment at June 30, 2022, flat compared to March 31, 2022.

Performing TDRs were up $178 million compared to the prior quarter primarily due to an increase in government guaranteed residential mortgages.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $1.8 billion at June 30, 2022, down $127 million, or seven basis points, as a percentage of loans and leases compared with the prior quarter primarily due to a decline in government guaranteed residential mortgages. Excluding government guaranteed 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 June 30, 2022, flat from March 31, 2022.

Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing of $2.1 billion at June 30, 2022 were down $10 million, or three basis points, as a percentage of loans and leases, compared to the prior quarter due to declines in the commercial and industrial portfolio, partially offset by a seasonal increase in the indirect auto portfolio.

Problem loans include NPLs and loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing as disclosed in Table 7. 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 5. Loans and ACL” for the amortized cost basis of loans by origination year and credit quality indicator as well as additional disclosures related to NPLs.

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, Truist works with borrowers to prevent further difficulties and to improve the likelihood of recovery on a 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. For loan modification programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Truist applied the relief from TDR accounting described in the CARES Act. Payment relief assistance provided by Truist includes forbearance, deferrals, extension, and re-aging programs, along with certain other modification strategies. Refer to “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for the policies related to TDRs and COVID-19 loan modifications.

Net charge-offs during the second quarter totaled $159 million, or 0.22% as a percentage of average loans, and were down three basis points compared to the prior quarter.

The allowance for credit losses was $4.4 billion and includes $4.2 billion for the allowance for loan and lease losses and $247 million for the reserve for unfunded commitments. The ALLL ratio was 1.38% compared to 1.44% at March 31, 2022. The decline in the ALLL ratio was due to strong portfolio performance partially offset by a moderately slower economic outlook. The ALLL covered nonperforming loans and leases held for investment 3.84X compared to 3.99X at March 31, 2022. At June 30, 2022, the ALLL was 6.54X annualized net charge-offs, compared to 5.78X at March 31, 2022.

Truist 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. Truist also receives notification when the first lien holder, whether Truist or another financial institution, has initiated foreclosure proceedings against the borrower. When notified that the first lien is in the process of foreclosure, Truist obtains valuations to determine if any additional charge-offs or reserves are warranted. These valuations are updated at least annually thereafter.

Truist has limited ability to monitor the delinquency status of the first lien, unless the first lien is held or serviced by Truist. Truist estimates credit losses on second lien loans where the first lien is delinquent based on historical experience; the increased risk of loss on these credits is reflected in the ALLL. As of June 30, 2022, Truist held or serviced the first lien on 33% of its second lien positions.

Average deposits for the second quarter of 2022 were $423.8 billion, an increase of $8.5 billion, or 2.0%, compared to the prior quarter. Average noninterest bearing deposits increased 1.8% compared to the prior quarter and represented 35.1% of total deposits for the second quarter of 2022, unchanged compared to the prior quarter. Average money market and savings and interest checking grew 5.0% and 0.2%, respectively, compared to the prior quarter. The increase in average money market and savings was primarily due to an increase from brokered deposits. Average time deposits decreased 9.7% primarily due to the maturity of higher-cost accounts.

Borrowings

At June 30, 2022, short-term borrowings totaled $13.7 billion, an increase of $8.4 billion compared to December 31, 2021. Average short-term borrowings were $8.3 billion, or 1.8% of total funding, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $6.4 billion, or 1.5%, for the prior year.

Long-term debt provides funding and, to a lesser extent, regulatory capital, and primarily consists of senior and subordinated notes issued by Truist and Truist Bank. Long-term debt totaled $30.3 billion at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $5.6 billion compared to December 31, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had redemptions of $4.7 billion of senior and $300 million of subordinated long-term debt and issued $850 million fixed-to-floating rate senior notes with an interest rate of 4.12% due June 6, 2028. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Truist also redeemed $800 million of FHLB advances, which resulted in a gain on early extinguishment of long-term debt of $39 million. The average cost of long-term debt was 1.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, up three basis points compared to the same period in 2021.

In July 2022, Truist redeemed $1.0 billion of fixed rate senior notes that were due in August 2022. Additionally in July 2022, Truist issued $1.5 billion fixed-to-floating rate senior notes with an interest rate of 4.26% due July 28, 2026 and $1.0 billion fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with an interest rate of 4.92% due July 28, 2033.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity was $63.0 billion at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $6.3 billion from December 31, 2021. This decline includes a decrease of $7.6 billion in AOCI and $1.4 billion in dividends, partially offset by $2.9 billion in net income. Truist’s book value per common share at June 30, 2022 was $42.45, compared to $47.14 at December 31, 2021.

Risk Management

Truist maintains a comprehensive risk management framework supported by people, processes, and systems to identify, measure, monitor, manage, and report significant risks arising from its exposures and business activities. Effective risk management involves optimizing risk and return while operating in a safe and sound manner, and promoting compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company’s risk management framework promotes the execution of business strategies and objectives in alignment with its risk appetite.

Truist has developed and employs a risk taxonomy that further guides business functions in identifying, measuring, responding to, monitoring, and reporting on possible exposures to the organization. The risk taxonomy drives internal risk conversations and enables Truist to clearly and transparently communicate to stakeholders the level of potential risk the Company faces, both presently and in the future, and the Company’s position on managing risk to acceptable levels.

Truist is committed to fostering a culture that supports identification and escalation of risks across the organization. All teammates are responsible for upholding the Company’s purpose, mission, and values, and are encouraged to speak up if there is any activity or behavior that is inconsistent with the Company’s culture. The Truist code of ethics guides the Company’s decision making and informs teammates on how to act in the absence of specific guidance.

Truist seeks an appropriate return for the risk taken in its business operations. Risk-taking activities are evaluated and prioritized to identify those that present attractive risk-adjusted returns, while preserving asset value and capital.

Compensation decisions take into account a teammate’s adherence to and successful implementation of Truist’s risk values and associated policies and procedures. The Company’s compensation structure supports its core values and sound risk management practices in an effort to promote judicious risk-taking behavior.

Truist employs a comprehensive change management program to manage the residual risks associated with integrating heritage BB&T and heritage SunTrust. While integration activities are largely complete, the Board and Executive Leadership oversee the change management program, which is designed to ensure appropriate oversight of application and data center decommissioning and residual integration activities, achieved through Truist’s risk management process.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings, capital, or economic value arising from changes in the market value of portfolios, securities, or other financial instruments. Market risk results from changes in the level, volatility, or correlations among financial market risk factors or prices, including interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, equity, and commodity prices.

Effective management of market risk is essential to achieving Truist’s strategic financial objectives. Truist’s most significant market risk exposure is to interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also results from underlying product liquidity risk, price risk, and volatility risk in Truist’s business units. Interest rate risk results from differences between the timing of rate changes and the timing of cash flows associated with assets and liabilities (re-pricing risk); from changing rate relationships among different yield curves affecting bank activities (basis risk); from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities (yield curve risk); and from interest-related options inherently embedded in bank products (options risk).

The primary objectives of effective market risk management are to minimize adverse effects from changes in market risk factors on net interest income, net income, and capital, and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. At Truist, market risk management also includes the enterprise-wide IPV function.

Interest Rate Market Risk

As a financial institution, Truist is exposed to interest rate risk from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet positions. To keep net interest margin as stable as possible, Truist actively manages its interest rate risk exposure through the strategic repricing of its assets and liabilities, taking into account the volumes, maturities, and mix. Truist primarily uses three methods to measure and monitor its interest rate risk: (i) simulations of possible changes to net interest income over the next two years based on gradual changes in interest rates; (ii) analysis of interest rate shock scenarios; and (iii) analysis of economic value of equity based on changes in interest rates.

The Company’s simulation model takes into account assumptions related to prepayment trends, using a combination of market data and internal historical experiences for deposits and loans, as well as scheduled maturities and payments, and the expected outlook for the economy and interest rates. These assumptions are reviewed and adjusted monthly to reflect changes in current interest rates compared to the rates applicable to Truist’s assets and liabilities. The model also considers Truist’s current and prospective liquidity position, current balance sheet volumes, projected growth and/or contractions, accessibility of funds for short-term needs and capital maintenance.

Deposit betas (the sensitivity of deposit rate changes relative to market rate changes) are an important assumption in the interest rate risk modeling process. Truist applies deposit beta assumptions to non-maturity interest-bearing deposit accounts when 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. Truist utilizes a tiered deposit beta assumption framework that accounts for historically observed behaviors of clients and the Company. As interest rates rise, the deposit beta assumptions also rise to reflect increasing competition among banks as well as increased client demand for interest-bearing deposits. Based on the fed funds target range at June 30, 2022 of 1.50% to 1.75%, Truist applies an average deposit beta of approximately 35% for the next 50 basis point increase in the Federal funds rate and approximately 50% for any additional increases. Truist also regularly conducts sensitivity analyses on other key variables, including noninterest-bearing deposits, to determine the impact these variables could have on the Company’s interest rate risk position. The predictive value of the simulation model depends upon the accuracy of the assumptions, but management believes that it provides helpful information for the management of interest rate risk.

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on net interest income as projected for the next 12 months assuming a gradual change in interest rates as described below.




Table 17: Interest Sensitivity Simulation Analysis
Interest Rate Scenario					Annualized Hypothetical Percentage Change in Net Interest Income

Rate sensitivity decreased compared to prior periods, primarily driven by higher starting rates and higher deposit betas as rates increase and move into the higher beta tiers.

Management considers how the 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 resulted in growth in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Consistent with the industry, Truist 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 Truist. A decrease in the amount of these deposits in the future would reduce the asset sensitivity of Truist’s balance sheet because the Company may increase interest-bearing funds to offset the loss of this advantageous funding source. Alternatively, the Company may reduce the size of its investment portfolio to offset the loss of noninterest-bearing demand deposits to limit the impact on the balance sheet’s asset sensitivity.

The following table shows the results of Truist’s interest-rate sensitivity position assuming the loss of additional demand deposits and an associated increase in managed rate deposits versus current projections under various interest rate scenarios. For purposes of this analysis, Truist modeled the incremental beta of managed rate deposits for the replacement of the demand deposits at 100%.



Table 18: Deposit Mix Sensitivity Analysis
Gradual Change in Rates (bps)	Base Scenario at June 30, 2022 (1)		Results Assuming a Decrease in Noninterest-Bearing Demand Deposits
			$20 Billion		$40 Billion
Up 100	1.68	%	0.97	%	0.25	%
Up 50	1.65		1.13		0.61

(1)The base scenario is equal to the annualized hypothetical percentage change in net interest income at June 30, 2022 as presented in the preceding table.

Truist uses financial instruments including derivatives to manage interest rate risk related to securities, commercial loans, MSRs, and mortgage banking operations, long-term debt, and other funding sources. Truist has utilized derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients and as part of associated hedging activities. As of June 30, 2022, Truist had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $331.7 billion, with an associated net negative fair value of $528 million. See “Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional disclosures.

To protect against any potential downside in rates, Truist added $16 billion of receive fixed swaps, which are primarily forward starting. These swaps will begin in 2023 and 2024 and have laddered maturities that primarily range from 3 to 5 years with an average blended interest rate of 2.85%.

LIBOR Transition

For most tenors of U.S. dollar LIBOR, the administrator of LIBOR extended publication until June 30, 2023. Tenors used infrequently by Truist, including one week and two month U.S. dollar LIBOR and all non-U.S. dollar LIBOR, ceased publication at December 31, 2021, based on the October 20, 2021 interagency Joint Statement on Managing the LIBOR transition. To prepare for the transition to an alternative reference rate, management formed a cross-functional project team to address the LIBOR transition. The project team performed an assessment to identify the potential risks related to the transition from LIBOR to a new index or multiple indices and provides updates to Executive Leadership and the Board. As of June 30, 2022, Truist had outstanding LIBOR-based instruments that mature after June 30, 2023, including: loan and lease exposures totaling approximately $155 billion, notional derivative exposure totaling approximately $133 billion, long-term debt of $1.1 billion, and preferred stock of $1.5 billion. These amounts are inclusive of remediated contracts, which contain adequate fallback language for the transition.

Contract fallback language for existing loans and leases has largely been reviewed and certain contracts will require amendments to support the transition away from LIBOR. For impacted lines of business, the Company has started remediating these contracts to include standardized fallback language, or amending contracts to new reference rates at maturities during 2022. Current fallback language used to remediate contracts that mature after June 30, 2023 is generally consistent with ARRC recommendations and includes use of “hardwired fallback” language.

Truist Financial Corporation 59

The progress and approach to remediation will vary based on the type of contract and existing language used in the agreement. For commercial lending and general consumer lending, a significant number of remaining LIBOR contracts will require client outreach and remediation. Progress, year to date, has been focused on maturities earlier than June 30, 2023 and expanding usage of alternative reference rates. Efforts to amend and remediate contracts, excluding mortgage and student loans, that mature post June 30, 2023 ($146 billion) will be accelerated during the remainder of 2022. Truist has determined that adjustable rate mortgage products ($3.8 billion) have consistent and adequate fallback language to transition away from LIBOR in line with industry expectations; therefore, these contracts will not require remediation. Remediation of student loans ($5.5 billion) will follow pending guidance from the Department of Education on the replacement rate for certain student loans and recent guidance from the CFPB to allow transition to “comparable rates,” including SOFR or Prime in the private student loan portfolio, where LIBOR is used directly. Certain derivatives without a clearly defined or practicable replacement benchmark rate will use the recent Federal legislation to replace LIBOR with a SOFR-based rate that will be established by FRB rulemaking. This legislation will also provide additional administrative benefit for a small portion of the commercial and consumer lending portfolios where contracts do not contain fallback language and have not yet been remediated.

Training has been provided for impacted teammates and will continue during 2022. Truist will continue to provide timely notices and information to impacted clients about the transition during 2022 and the first half of 2023. Truist continues to manage the impact of these contracts and other financial instruments, systems implications, hedging strategies, and related operational and market risks on established project plans for business and operational readiness to support the transition.

As of December 31, 2021, Truist ceased entering into new contracts with a LIBOR reference rate for all product offerings, except on a limited basis, as permissible. Market risks associated with the transition to alternative reference rates are dependent on market conditions as loans are transitioned to alternative reference rates during 2022 and early 2023. The Company is actively using SOFR as a reference rate and has originated approximately $45 billion of loans, issued $5.9 billion of long-term debt, and has $84 billion in notional derivative exposure using this alternative reference rate as of June 30, 2022. Alternatives, such as SOFR, may react differently from LIBOR in times of economic stress. Truist expects SOFR to become a more commonly-used pricing benchmark across the industry and will continue to offer additional SOFR based products during 2022. Additional alternative reference rates, such as Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield will be supported based on market demand. Other emerging credit sensitive rates will be evaluated as additional alternatives for LIBOR based on market developments. For a further discussion of the various risks associated with the potential cessation of LIBOR and the transition to alternative reference rates, refer to the section titled “Item1A. Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Market risk from trading activities

As a financial intermediary, Truist provides its clients access to derivatives, foreign exchange and securities markets, which generate market risks. Trading market risk is managed using a comprehensive risk management approach, which includes measuring risk using VaR, stress testing, and sensitivity analysis. Risk metrics are monitored against a suite of limits on a daily basis at both the trading desk level and at the aggregate portfolio level, which is intended to ensure that exposures are in line with Truist’s risk appetite.

Truist is also subject to risk-based capital guidelines for market risk under the Market Risk Rule.

Covered Trading Positions

Covered positions subject to the Market Risk Rule include trading assets and liabilities, specifically those held for the purpose of short-term resale or with the intent of benefiting from actual or expected short-term price movements or to lock in arbitrage profits. Truist’s trading portfolio of covered positions results primarily from market making and underwriting services for the Company’s clients, as well as associated risk mitigating hedging activity. The trading portfolio, measured in terms of VaR, consists primarily of four sub-portfolios of covered positions: (i) credit trading, (ii) fixed income securities, (iii) interest rate derivatives, and (iv) equity derivatives. As a market maker across different asset classes, Truist’s trading portfolio also contains other sub-portfolios, including foreign exchange, loan trading, and commodity derivatives; however, these portfolios do not generate material trading risk exposures.

Valuation policies and methodologies exist for all trading positions. Additionally, these positions are subject to independent price verification. See “Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments,” “Note 15. Fair Value Disclosures,” and “Critical Accounting Policies” herein for discussion of valuation policies and methodologies.

Securitizations

As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate market value of on-balance sheet securitization positions subject to the Market Risk Rule was $28 million, all of which were non-agency asset backed securities positions. Consistent with the Market Risk Rule requirements, the Company performs pre-purchase due diligence on each securitization position to identify the characteristics including, but not limited to, deal structure and the asset quality of the underlying assets, that materially affect valuation and performance. Securitization positions are subject to Truist’s comprehensive risk management framework, which includes daily monitoring against a suite of limits. There were no off-balance sheet securitization positions during the reporting period.

Correlation Trading Positions

The trading portfolio of covered positions did not contain any correlation trading positions as of June 30, 2022.

VaR-Based Measures

VaR measures the potential loss of a given position or portfolio of positions at a specified confidence level and time horizon. Truist utilizes a historical VaR methodology to measure and aggregate risks across its covered trading positions. For risk management purposes, the VaR calculation is based on a historical simulation approach and measures the potential trading losses using a one-day holding period at a one-tail, 99% confidence level. For Market Risk Rule purposes, the Company calculates VaR using a 10-day holding period and a 99% confidence level. Due to inherent limitations of the VaR methodology, such as the assumption that past market behavior is indicative of future market performance, VaR is only one of several tools used to measure and manage market risk. Other tools used to actively manage market risk include stress testing, scenario analysis, and stop loss limits.

The trading portfolio’s VaR profile is influenced by a variety of factors, including the size and composition of the portfolio, market volatility, and the correlation between different positions. A portfolio of trading positions is typically less risky than the sum of the risk from each of the individual sub-portfolios, because, under normal market conditions, risk within each category partially offsets the exposure to other risk categories. The following table summarizes certain VaR-based measures for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Average one and ten-day VaR measures for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased from the same period of last year, primarily driven by higher market volatility over the past quarter. Average one and ten-day VaR measures for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were lower than last year as heightened market volatility experienced during March 2020 was used for measuring VaR until March 2021.

Stressed VaR-based measures

Stressed VaR, another component of market risk capital, is calculated using the same internal models as used for the VaR-based measure. Stressed VaR is calculated over a ten-day holding period at a one-tail, 99% confidence level and employs a historical simulation approach based on a continuous twelve-month historical window selected to reflect a period of significant financial stress for the Company’s trading portfolio. The following table summarizes Stressed VaR-based measures:


Table 20: Stressed VaR-based Measures - 10 Day Holding Period
	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2022		2021		2022		2021
Maximum	$	87	$	91	$	109	$	91
Average	66		60		71		57
Minimum	40		43		40		26
Period-end	81		49		81		49

Compared to the prior year, average stressed VaR measures increased primarily due to higher market making inventory levels in 2022.

Specific Risk Measures

Specific risk is a measure of idiosyncratic risk that could result from risk factors other than broad market movements (e.g. default or event risks). The Market Risk Rule provides fixed risk weights under a standardized measurement method while also allowing a model-based approach, subject to regulatory approval. Truist utilizes the standardized measurement method to calculate the specific risk component of market risk regulatory capital. As such, incremental risk capital requirements do not apply.

VaR Model Backtesting

In accordance with the Market Risk Rule, the Company evaluates the accuracy of its VaR model through daily backtesting by comparing aggregate daily trading gains and losses (excluding fees, commissions, reserves, net interest income, and intraday trading) from covered positions with the corresponding daily VaR-based measures generated by the model. As illustrated in the following graph, VaR measures briefly increased in the first quarter of 2022 due to the increase in market volatility that normalized towards the end of the quarter. There were no Company-wide VaR backtesting exceptions during the twelve months ended June 30, 2022. The total number of Company-wide VaR backtesting exceptions over the preceding twelve months is used to determine the multiplication factor for the VaR-based capital requirement under the Market Risk Rule. The capital multiplication factor increases from a minimum of three to a maximum of four, depending on the number of exceptions. All Company-wide VaR backtesting exceptions are thoroughly reviewed in the context of VaR model use and performance. There was no change in the capital multiplication factor over the preceding twelve months.

Model Risk Management

MRM is responsible for the independent model validation of all decision tools and models including trading market risk models. The validation activities are conducted in accordance with MRM policy, which incorporates regulatory guidance related to the evaluation of model conceptual soundness, ongoing monitoring, and outcomes analysis. As part of ongoing monitoring efforts, the performance of all trading risk models are reviewed regularly to preemptively address emerging developments in financial markets, assess evolving modeling approaches, and to identify potential model enhancement.

Stress Testing

The Company uses a comprehensive range of stress testing techniques to help monitor risks across trading desks and to augment standard daily VaR and other risk limits reporting. The stress testing framework is designed to quantify the impact of extreme, but plausible, stress scenarios that could lead to large unexpected losses. Stress tests include simulations for historical repeats and hypothetical risk factor shocks. All trading positions within each applicable market risk category (interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, credit spread risk, and commodity price risk) are included in the Company’s comprehensive stress testing framework. Management reviews stress testing scenarios on an ongoing basis and makes updates, as necessary, which is intended to ensure that both current and emerging risks are captured appropriately. Management also utilizes stress analyses to support the Company’s capital adequacy assessment standards. See the “Capital” section of MD&A for additional discussion of capital adequacy.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents the continuing ability to meet funding needs, including deposit withdrawals, 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, other factors affect the ability to meet liquidity needs, including access to a variety of funding sources, maintaining borrowing capacity, growing core deposits, loan repayment, and the ability to securitize or package loans for sale.

Truist monitors the ability to meet client demand for funds under both normal and stressed market conditions. In considering its liquidity position, management evaluates Truist’s funding mix based on client core funding, client rate-sensitive funding, and national markets funding. In addition, management 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 Truist and Truist Bank. To ensure a strong liquidity position and compliance with regulatory requirements, management maintains a liquid asset buffer of cash on hand and highly liquid unencumbered securities.

Internal Liquidity Stress Testing

Liquidity stress testing is designed to ensure that Truist and Truist Bank have sufficient liquidity for a variety of institution-specific and market-wide adverse scenarios. Each liquidity stress test scenario applies defined assumptions to execute sources and uses of liquidity over varying planning horizons. The types of expected liquidity uses during a stressed event may include deposit attrition, contractual maturities, reductions in unsecured and secured funding, and increased draws on unfunded commitments. To mitigate liquidity outflows, Truist has identified sources of liquidity; however, access to these sources of liquidity could be affected within a stressed environment.

Truist maintains a liquidity buffer of cash on hand and highly liquid unencumbered securities that is sufficient to meet the projected net stressed cash-flow needs and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. The liquidity buffer consists of unencumbered highly liquid assets and Truist’s liquidity buffer is substantially the same in composition to what qualifies as HQLA under the LCR Rule.

Contingency Funding Plan

Truist has a contingency funding plan designed to ensure that liquidity sources are sufficient to meet ongoing obligations and commitments, particularly in the event of a liquidity contraction. This plan is designed to examine and quantify the organization’s liquidity under the various internal liquidity stress scenarios and is periodically tested to assess the plan’s reliability. Additionally, the plan provides a framework for management and other critical teammates to follow in the event of a liquidity contraction or in anticipation of such an event. The plan addresses authority for activation and decision making, liquidity options, and the responsibilities of key departments in the event of a liquidity contraction.

Truist Financial Corporation 63

LCR and HQLA

The LCR rule requires that Truist and Truist Bank maintain an amount of eligible HQLA that is sufficient to meet its estimated total net cash outflows over a prospective 30 calendar-day period of stress. Eligible HQLA, for purposes of calculating the LCR, is the amount of unencumbered HQLA that satisfy operational requirements of the LCR rule. Truist and Truist Bank are subject to the Category III reduced LCR requirements. Truist held average weighted eligible HQLA of $85.0 billion and Truist’s average LCR was 110% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Effective July 2021, Truist became subject to final rules implementing the NSFR, which are designed to ensure that banking organizations maintain a stable, long-term funding profile in relation to their asset composition and off-balance sheet activities. At June 30, 2022, the Company was compliant with this requirement.

Sources of Funds

Management believes current sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet Truist’s on- and off-balance sheet obligations. Truist funds its balance sheet through diverse sources of funding including client deposits, secured and unsecured capital markets funding, and shareholders’ equity. Truist Bank’s primary source of funding is client deposits. Continued access to client deposits is highly dependent on public confidence in the stability of Truist Bank and its ability to return funds to clients when requested.

Truist Bank maintains a number of diverse funding sources to meet its liquidity requirements. These sources include unsecured borrowings from the capital markets through the issuance of senior or subordinated bank notes, institutional CDs, overnight and term Federal funds markets, and retail brokered CDs. Truist Bank also maintains access to secured borrowing sources including FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, and the FRB discount window. The following table presents a summary of Truist Bank’s available secured borrowing capacity and eligible cash at the FRB:

Eligible cash at the FRB	16,746		14,714
Total	$	206,867	$	232,728

At June 30, 2022, Truist Bank’s available secured borrowing capacity represented approximately 5.1 times the amount of wholesale funding maturities in one-year or less. FHLB unused borrowing capacity was $41.4 billion at June 30, 2022, down from $49.2 billion at December 31, 2021 primarily due to increases in short-term borrowings.

Parent Company

The Parent Company serves as the primary source of capital for the operating subsidiaries. The Parent Company’s assets consist primarily of cash on deposit with Truist Bank, equity investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, and notes receivable from subsidiaries. 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 subsidiaries, 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 investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, dividend payments to common and preferred shareholders, repurchases of common stock, and payments on long-term debt. See “Note 22. Parent Company Financial Information” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information regarding dividends from subsidiaries and debt transactions.

Access to funding at the Parent Company is more sensitive to market disruptions. Therefore, Truist 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 inflows. Truist maintains a significant buffer above the projected one year of cash outflows. In determining the buffer, Truist considers cash requirements for common and preferred dividends, unfunded commitments to affiliates, serving as a source of strength to Truist Bank, and being able to withstand sustained market disruptions that could limit access to the capital markets. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Parent Company had 34 months and 35 months, respectively, of cash on hand to satisfy projected cash outflows, and 19 months and 19 months, respectively, when including the payment of common stock dividends.

Credit Ratings

Credit ratings are forward-looking opinions of rating agencies as to the Company’s ability to meet its financial commitments and repay its securities and obligations in accordance with their terms of issuance. Credit ratings influence both borrowing costs and access to the capital markets. The Company’s credit ratings are continuously monitored by the rating agencies and are subject to change at any time. As Truist seeks to maintain high-quality credit ratings, management meets with the major rating agencies on a regular basis to provide financial and business updates and to discuss current outlooks and trends. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information regarding factors that influence credit ratings and potential risks that could materialize in the event of downgrade in the Company’s credit ratings.

The credit ratings and outlooks of Truist and Truist Bank are unchanged from those presented in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Capital

The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on a regular basis. Truist’s principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support Truist’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 Truist and its subsidiaries, remain a source of strength for 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.

Truist regularly performs stress testing on its capital levels and is required to periodically submit the Company’s capital plans and stress testing results to the banking regulators. Management regularly monitors the capital position of Truist on both a consolidated and bank-level basis. In this regard, management’s objective is to maintain capital at levels that are in excess of internal capital targets, which are above the regulatory “well capitalized” minimums. Management has implemented stress capital ratio minimum targets to evaluate whether capital ratios calculated after the effect of alternative capital actions are likely to remain above minimums specified by the FRB for the annual CCAR process. Breaches of stressed minimum targets prompt a review of the planned capital actions included in Truist’s capital plan.

CET1	4.5	%	NA		6.5	%	7.0	%

Under the 2022 CCAR process, Truist was notified its preliminary SCB requirement would remain 2.5% from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

Common shares outstanding at end of period	1,326,393			1,327,818

(1)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. Truist’s management uses these measures to assess the quality of capital and returns relative to balance sheet risk. These capital measures are not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures that may be presented by other companies.

Capital ratios remained strong compared to the regulatory requirements for well capitalized banks. Truist declared common dividends of $0.48 per share during the second quarter of 2022 and repurchased $250 million of common stock. The dividend and total payout ratios for the second quarter of 2022 were 44% and 61%, respectively.

Truist completed the 2022 CCAR process and received the preliminary stress capital buffer requirement of 2.5% for the period October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023. Truist had the second-lowest CET1 erosion and loan loss rate among its peers under the severely adverse stress scenario. By August 31, 2022, the Federal Reserve will provide Truist with its final stress capital buffer requirement. In July 2022, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend of 8% to $0.52 beginning in the third quarter of 2022.

Truist CET1 ratio was 9.2% as of June 30, 2022. The 20 basis point decline compared to the March 31, 2022 CET1 ratio primarily reflects strong loan growth and share repurchases.

With the additional authorization, the Company has $2.3 billion remaining for share repurchases.
