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, 2022:

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

•Truist is subject to credit risk by lending or committing to lend money, 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, and may suffer losses if the value of collateral declines in stressed market conditions;

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

•Truist may be impacted by actual or perceived soundness of other financial institutions, including as a result of the financial or operational failure of a major financial institution, or concerns about the creditworthiness of such a financial institution or its ability to fulfill its obligations, which can cause substantial and cascading disruption within the financial markets and increased expenses, including FDIC insurance premiums, and could affect our ability to attract and retain depositors and to borrow or raise capital;

•general economic or business conditions, either globally, nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, including as a result of supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and labor shortages, and instability in global geopolitical matters, including due to an outbreak or escalation of hostilities, 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;

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

•unexpected outflows of uninsured deposits may require us to sell investment securities at a loss;

•a loss of value of our investment portfolio could negatively impact market perceptions of Truist and could lead to deposit withdrawals;

•the effects of COVID-19 adversely impacted the Company’s operations and financial performance and similar adverse impacts resulting from pandemics could occur in future periods;

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

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

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

•Truist could fail 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 or compliance costs, 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 could damage Truist’s reputation and adversely impact business and revenues, including the effects of social media on market perceptions of Truist and banks generally;

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

•Truist faces substantial legal and operational risks in safeguarding personal information;

•evolving legislative, accounting and regulatory standards, including with respect to climate, capital, and liquidity requirements, which may become more stringent in light of recent market events, such as long-term debt requirements, and results of regulatory examinations may adversely affect Truist’s financial condition and results of operations;

•increased scrutiny regarding Truist’s consumer sales practices, training practices, incentive compensation design, and governance could damage its reputation and adversely impact business and revenues;

•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;

•Truist faces 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;

•there are 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 could be adversely impacted, which could be exacerbated in the increased work-from-home environment as job markets may be less constrained by physical geography;

•Truist’s operations rely on its ability, and the ability of key external parties, to maintain appropriate-staffed workforces, and on the competence, trustworthiness, health and safety of teammates;

•Truist faces the risk of 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, cyberattacks, which have increased in frequency with 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 represented management’s views on the date they were 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, 2022 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The Company updated its accounting policies in connection with recently adopted accounting standards, which are described in this footnote. There were no other 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, 2022 that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Reclassifications

During the first quarter of 2023, Truist reclassified certain portfolios within the consumer portfolio segment to delineate home equity from other consumer portfolios. Additionally, Truist realigned Prime Rate Premium Finance Corporation, which includes AFCO Credit Corporation and CAFO Holding Company, into the C&CB segment from the IH segment. Prior period results have been revised to conform to the current presentation.

During the second quarter of 2023, Truist updated its segment cost allocation methodology. Results for the first quarter of 2023 have been revised to conform to the current presentation. Management concluded the impact to 2022 was not material.

Certain other amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the ACL; determination of fair value for securities, MSRs, LHFS, trading loans, and derivative assets and liabilities; goodwill and other intangible assets; income taxes; and pension and postretirement benefit obligations.

Loan Modifications

In certain circumstances, the Company enters into agreements to modify the terms of loans to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty. The scope of these loan modifications varies from portfolio to portfolio but generally falls into one of the following categories:

•Renewals: represent the renewal of a loan where the Company has concluded that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Commercial renewals result in an extension of the maturity date of the loan (or in some cases a contraction of the loan term), and other significant terms of the loan (e.g., interest rate, collateral, guarantor support, etc.) are re-evaluated in connection with the renewal event.

•Term extensions: represent an adjustment to the maturity date of the loan that typically results in a reduction to the borrower’s scheduled payment over the remainder of the loan.

•Capitalizations: represents the capitalization of forborne loan payments and/or other amounts advanced on behalf of the borrower into the principal balance of a residential mortgage loan.

•Payment delays: provide the borrower with a temporary postponement of loan payments that is considered other-than-insignificant, which has been defined as a payment delay that exceeds 90 days, or three payment cycles, over a rolling 12-month period. These postponed loan payments may result in an extension of the ultimate maturity date of the loan or may be capitalized into the principal balance of the loan in certain circumstances.

•Combinations: in certain circumstances more than one type of a modification is provided to a borrower (e.g., interest rate reduction and term extension).

•Other: represents other types of loan modifications that are not considered significant for disclosure purposes.

Truist Financial Corporation 9

The Company has identified borrowers that are included in the Loan Modifications disclosures in “Note 5. Loans and ACL” as follows:

•Commercial: the Company evaluates all modifications of loans to commercial borrowers that are rated substandard or worse and includes the modifications in its disclosure to the extent that the modification is considered other-than-insignificant.

•Consumer and credit card: loan modifications to consumer and credit card borrowers are generally limited to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty. As a result, the Company evaluates all modifications of consumer and credit card loans and includes them in the disclosure to the extent that they are considered other-than insignificant.

Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for accounting policies related to prior period, including the Company’s TDR policies.

ALLL

The ALLL represents management’s best estimate of expected future credit losses related to its loan and lease portfolio at the balance sheet date. The Company’s ALLL estimation process gives consideration to relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The quantitative models used to forecast expected credit losses use portfolio balances, macroeconomic forecast data, portfolio composition and loan attributes as the primary inputs. Loss estimates are informed by historical loss experience that includes losses incurred on loans that were previously modified by the Company. As a result, the Company has concluded that aside from the limited circumstances where principal forgiveness is granted to a borrower, the financial effect of loan modifications is already inherently included in the ALLL.

Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes is based on income and expense reported for financial statement purposes after adjustments for permanent differences such as interest income from lending to tax-exempt entities, tax credits, and amortization expense related to qualified tax credit investments. In computing the provision for income taxes, the Company evaluates the technical merits of its income tax positions based on current legislative, judicial, and regulatory guidance. The proportional amortization method of accounting is used on affordable housing and other qualified tax credit investments, such that the initial cost of the investment giving rise to tax credits is amortized in proportion to the allocation of tax credits in each period as a component of the provision for income taxes. Truist includes the initial investment cash flows and subsequent credits within operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements


Standard / Adoption Date	Description	Effects on the Financial Statements
Standards Adopted During the Current Year
Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures January 1, 2023	Eliminates 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 adopted this standard on a modified-retrospective basis. Upon adoption, the Company eliminated the separate ACL estimation process for loans classified as TDRs. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements. The Company’s revised disclosures in accordance with the new standard are included in “Note 5. Loans and ACL.”
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. 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 and specifies how hedge basis adjustments should be considered when determining credit losses for the assets included in the closed portfolio.	The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s active last-of-layer hedges.
Investments in Tax Credit Structures January 1, 2023	Allows reporting entities to elect to account for qualifying tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method, regardless of the program giving rise to the related income tax credits. Previously, reporting entities were only permitted to apply the proportional amortization method only to qualifying tax equity investments in low-income housing tax credit structures.	Truist adopted this standard early on a modified-retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements. Refer to “Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information regarding tax credit investments.

NOTE 2. Business Combinations, Divestitures, and Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interest

On April 3, 2023, the Company completed its sale of a 20% stake of the common equity in IH, which was previously wholly owned by Truist, to an investor group led by Stone Point Capital, LLC for $1.9 billion, with the proceeds, net of tax, recognized as an increase to shareholders’ equity. In connection with the transaction, the noncontrolling interest holder received profits interest representing 3.75% coverage on IH’s fully diluted equity value at transaction close, and certain consent and exit rights commensurate with a noncontrolling investor. Including these profits interests, the noncontrolling interest holder is allocated approximately 23% of IH pretax net income. The transaction allows Truist to maintain strategic flexibility and future upside in IH, which will continue to benefit from Truist’s operations, access to capital, and client relationships, while creating additional opportunities for the growth of IH through the support of a strong blue-chip investor in Stone Point Capital, LLC. Also in conjunction with the same transaction, IH granted certain event-vested profits interests and appreciation units, representing 4.50% coverage on IH’s fully diluted equity value at grant, to various IH employees and officers in the second quarter of 2023. These awards, subject to continued employment through the applicable event or date, will vest either upon, or from 6 months to two years following, a change in control of IH, depending on the nature of the change in control. No compensation expense is recognized for these event-vested awards until such an event is probable. The Company intends these awards to strengthen IH’s ability to incent and retain top talent, and realize IH’s full potential.

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, 2023		Dec 31, 2022
Securities purchased under agreements to resell	$	998	$	2,415
Securities borrowed	1,317		766
Total securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell	$	2,315	$	3,181

Fair value of collateral permitted to be resold or repledged	$	2,044	$	3,058
Fair value of securities resold or repledged	491		864

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:

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 investment securities.

NOTE 5. Loans and ACL

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company adopted the Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures accounting standard. Certain newly required disclosures in this footnote are presented as of and for the period ended June 30, 2023 only as the adoption of this guidance did not impact the prior periods. As such, disclosures were provided related to TDRs as of December 31, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 under prior accounting standards. Refer to “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” for additional information.

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. Truist sold its student loan portfolio at the end of the second quarter of 2023, which had a carrying value of $4.7 billion. The six months ended June 30, 2023 includes $98 million of charge-offs related to the sale, which was previously provided for in the allowance.

(1)Includes the amounts for the ALLL for PCD acquisitions, the impact of adopting the Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures accounting standard, and other activity.

(2)Truist sold its student loan portfolio at the end of the second quarter of 2023. Charge-offs include $98 million related to the sale.

The commercial ALLL increased $212 million and $368 million and the consumer ALLL decreased $95 million and $144 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The increase in the commercial ALLL primarily reflects loan growth and an updated economic outlook. The decrease in the consumer ALLL was primarily driven by the sale of the student portfolio in the current quarter as well as first quarter 2023 impacts associated with the adoption of the Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosure accounting standard. Considerations for the updated economic outlook include the potential impacts related to the risks associated with inflation, rising rates, geopolitical events, and recession.

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, U.S. real GDP, corporate credit spreads, rental rates, property values, home price indices, and used car prices.

The overall 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, 2023 ACL, unchanged since December 31, 2022. While the scenario weightings were unchanged, each forecast scenario reflected deterioration in certain economic variables over the reasonable and supportable forecast period when compared to the prior period. The overall economic forecast shaping the ACL estimate at June 30, 2023 included GDP growth in the low-single digits and an unemployment rate near mid-single digits.

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, 2023 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, 2022 for additional information.

The tables above exclude trial modifications totaling $88 million as of June 30, 2023. Such modifications will be included in the modification activity disclosure if the borrower successfully completes the trial period and the loan modification is finalized.

As of June 30, 2023, Truist had $419 million in unfunded lending commitments related to the modified obligations summarized in the tables above.

Upon Truist’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

Truist Financial Corporation 21

Truist closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table summarizes the delinquency status of loans that were modified:

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, 2022 qualitative impairment test. Truist concluded 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, 2023, 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, 2022 for additional information.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to operating segments are reflected in the table below. Activity during 2023 relates to the realignment of Prime Rate Premium Finance Corporation into the C&CB segment from the IH segment. Activity during 2022 reflects the acquisition of BankDirect Capital Finance, BenefitMall, and Kensington Vanguard National Land Services. Refer to “Note 2. Business Combinations” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information on the acquisitions and “Note 18.

The sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s residential MSRs to changes in key assumptions is presented in the following table:


	June 30, 2023							December 31, 2022
	Range				Weighted Average			Range				Weighted Average
(Dollars in millions)	Min		Max					Min		Max

Adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans					0.4							0.5
Total					100.0		%					100.0		%
Weighted average life					7.2 years							6.8 years

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered 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, 2023 and 2022, the provision for income taxes was $287 million and $372 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 17.6% and 19.5%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the provision for income taxes was $681 million and $702 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 19.2% for both periods. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by lower income before 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.

NOTE 13. Benefit Plans

The components of net periodic (benefit) cost for defined benefit pension plans are summarized in the following table:

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.

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, 2023		Dec 31, 2022
Total return swaps:
VIE assets	$	1,812	$	1,830
Trading loans and bonds	1,734		1,790
VIE liabilities	43		163

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, which 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 has capacity for secured financing from both the FRB and FHLB and letters of credit from the 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, 2023		Dec 31, 2022
Pledged securities	$	40,590	$	38,012

Pledged loans:

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, including those described below, 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.

30 Truist Financial Corporation

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, 2023. This estimate does not represent Truist’s maximum loss exposure, and actual losses may vary significantly. Also, the outcome of a particular matter may be one that the Company did not take into account in its estimate because the Company deemed the likelihood of that outcome to be remote. 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. The Company previously filed a motion to amend the class definition in which it sought to narrow the scope of the class and renewed motions to compel arbitration against certain class members, which the court found were premature. On September 22, 2022, the trial court entered a scheduling order holding that the court will consider such motions after discovery, which is ongoing, is completed. Trial is presently set to commence on April 29, 2024. 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 three patents held by USAA. The complaint seeks damages, including for alleged willful infringement and a corresponding request that the amount of actual damages be trebled, as well as injunctive and other equitable relief. The Company filed its answer and affirmative defenses on October 11, 2022, denying that it infringes any of the patents at issue in the lawsuit and asserting that USAA’s patents are invalid or unenforceable. On December 30, 2022, the Company filed a motion for leave to amend its answer to assert counterclaims seeking damages as well as injunctive relief against USAA for infringing four patents owned by the Company and practiced by USAA’s mobile remote deposit capture systems. On March 13, 2023, USAA filed a motion for leave to file a first amended complaint asserting infringement claims related to a fourth USAA patent. On April 8, 2023, the Company’s motion for leave to amend its answer to assert counterclaims was granted. On April 14, 2023, USAA filed a motion seeking to sever the Company’s counterclaims from the case, and on May 1, 2023, USAA filed a motion to dismiss claims related to two of the counterclaim patents. On May 3, 2023, USAA filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint asserting infringement claims related to a fifth USAA patent. On May 15, 2023, the Company filed a motion for leave to file a second amended answer and counterclaims to bring claims against USAA for infringement related to two additional patents owned by the Company. On June 21, 2023, the district court entered an order granting both USAA’s and the Company’s pending motions for leave to amend their pleadings. On June 27, 2023, USAA filed an updated motion to sever, seeking to sever the two additional patents asserted by Truist from the case, and USAA also moved to dismiss claims related to these patents on July 6, 2023. Discovery in the district court proceedings is ongoing, and trial is presently set to commence on March 18, 2024.

Truist Financial Corporation 31

At the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, the Company filed separate petitions for inter partes review on October 11, November 7, and November 15, 2022 challenging the validity of each of the first three patents asserted by USAA in the lawsuit. In addition, on April 13, 2023, the Company filed a petition for inter partes review challenging the validity of the fourth patent USAA added to the lawsuit. On May 16, 2023, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board denied institution of the Company’s petitions for inter partes review challenging one of the first three USAA patents, and the Company has filed a Request for Rehearing by the Director of one of the decisions denying institution. On May 18 and June 14, 2023, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board granted institution of the Company’s petitions for inter partes review challenging the second and third patents originally brought by USAA in its lawsuit. For those patents for which institution of the petitions for inter partes review has been granted, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board will review the validity of the claims in the applicable patent(s) upon further proceedings which will include briefing by the parties and a hearing before the assigned panel.

Recordkeeping Matters

The SEC and CFTC have requested information from various subsidiaries of the Company that conduct broker-dealer, investment adviser, and swap dealer activities regarding compliance with applicable recordkeeping requirements for business-related electronic communications. The Company is cooperating with these requests. The SEC and CFTC have been conducting similar investigations of other financial institutions regarding business-related communications sent over unapproved electronic messaging channels and have entered into a number of resolutions with various institutions to date.

FDIC Special Assessment

During the second quarter of 2023, the FDIC issued a proposed rule to impose a special assessment to recover the losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund following the recent bank failures. The assessment would be based on an insured depository institution’s estimated uninsured deposits reported as of December 31, 2022. If the final rule is adopted as proposed, the special assessment for Truist is estimated at approximately $460 million to be recognized at the time the rule is finalized and paid in eight quarterly installments beginning in the first quarter of 2024. The actual assessment may vary as a result of the final rule, including any changes to the calculation methodology. Additionally, the FDIC would have the ability to cease collection early, extend the collection period to collect any difference between the estimated and actual losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund, and impose a final shortfall assessment on a one-time basis.

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, 2023		Dec 31, 2022
Carrying value:
LHFS	$	123	$	271
Loans and leases	738		500
Other	91		120

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)	2023		2022
Valuation adjustments:
LHFS	$	(27)	$	(4)
Loans and leases	(311)		(165)
Other(1)	(86)		(50)

(1)Prior period amounts were revised.

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 $155 million and $108 million of LHFS carried at cost at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, that did not require a valuation adjustment during the period. The remainder of LHFS is carried at fair value.

Loans and leases consist 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, 2022 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, 2023				December 31, 2022
(Dollars in millions)	Fair Value Hierarchy	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
HTM securities	Level 2	$	55,958	$	45,956	$	57,713	$	47,791
Loans and leases HFI, net of ALLL	Level 3	317,470		308,846		321,596		308,738
Financial liabilities:

Long-term debt	Level 2	44,749		43,072		43,203		40,951

The carrying value of the RUFC, which approximates the fair value of unfunded commitments, was $273 million and $272 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments under GAAP

The Company also enters into derivatives that are not designated as accounting hedges under GAAP to economically hedge certain risks as well as in a trading capacity with its clients.

Credit Derivative Instruments

As part of the Company’s corporate and 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, 2023, the remaining terms on these risk participations ranged from less than one year to 14 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.

40 Truist Financial Corporation

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.

NOTE 18. Operating Segments

Truist operates and measures business activity across three segments: CB&W, C&CB, and IH, with functional activities included in OT&C. The Company’s business segment structure is based on the manner in which financial information is evaluated by management as well as the products and services provided or the type of client served. For additional information, see “Note 21. Operating Segments” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2023, Truist realigned Prime Rate Premium Finance Corporation, which includes AFCO Credit Corporation and CAFO Holding Company, into the C&CB segment from the IH segment. Prior period results have been revised to conform to the current presentation. During the second quarter of 2023, Truist updated its segment cost allocation methodology. Results for the first quarter of 2023 have been revised to conform to the current presentation. Management concluded the impact to 2022 was not material.

In conjunction with the Company’s April 3, 2023 sale of a 20% stake of the common equity in IH, IH issued $5.0 billion of 8.25% mandatorily redeemable preferred units to the Company, with the related interest expense, which is fully allocable to the Company, reported in Net intersegment interest income (expense).

Also related to the same transaction, IH was recapitalized from a corporate entity to an LLC, such that each member is allocated its share of IH’s income before taxes, and beginning in the second quarter of 2023 the Company recognizes its associated income tax provision through Other, Treasury & Corporate. The Company elected not to restate prior periods for this change based on IH’s previous status as a corporate entity. The Company recognized $54 million for the second quarter 2023 tax provision related to IH in Other, Treasury & Corporate.

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, 2022.

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, 2022.

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, 2022 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, 2022 for additional disclosures.

In March 2023, the FRB created the Bank Term Funding Program to support American businesses and households by making additional funding available to eligible depository institutions. This program offers loans up to one year in length to banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other eligible depository institutions pledging any collateral eligible for purchase by the FRB in open market operations, such as U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agency securities, and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities. These assets will be valued at par.

In the aftermath of the recent bank failures, we expect that the banking agencies will propose certain actions, including reforms that may impose different capital and liquidity requirements, including increased requirements to issue long term debt. On July 27, 2023, the U.S. banking regulators issued the first proposal to revise the risk-based capital standards applicable to the Company and Truist Bank. We continue to evaluate the proposal and the potential impacts, if adopted as proposed, on the Company’s and Truist Bank’s capital requirements.

In addition, the FDIC proposed a special assessment to repay losses to the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund. If the final rule is adopted as proposed, the special assessment for Truist is estimated at approximately $460 million to be recognized at the time the rule is finalized and paid in eight quarterly installments beginning in the first quarter of 2024. Refer to the “Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information related to the FDIC’s special assessments.

On July 26, 2023, the SEC finalized rules requiring registrants to disclose material cybersecurity incidents that they experience on Form 8-K and to disclose on an annual basis material information regarding their cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance. Annual disclosures will be required in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 2023. The Form 8-K disclosure requirements will become effective beginning on the later of 90 days after publication of the final rules in the Federal Register or December 18, 2023.

Executive Overview

During the second quarter, we continued to make progress adapting to the new operating environment by strengthening our balance sheet and sharpening our strategic focus on our core businesses.

Second quarter financial results were mixed as revenue headwinds from higher funding costs and lower-than-anticipated capital markets activity were partially offset by record insurance income. We prudently increased our provision and allowance amid the uncertain economic backdrop. Adjusted expenses were up as anticipated for the quarter. However, we are accelerating our plans to adjust our cost base to reflect efficiency opportunities and changing conditions.

Our CET1 capital ratio increased 50 basis points driven by the investment in IH and organic capital generation. The most recent FRB stress test highlighted our capacity to respond to stressed scenarios and we announced plans to maintain our strong quarterly common stock dividend at $0.52 per share, subject to board approval.

We are executing on our strategy to optimize our core businesses exemplified by the sale of our non-core student loan portfolio at net carrying value with no income impact. We also made solid progress towards shifting our loan mix towards higher-return assets.

Our unwavering foundation of purpose to inspire and build better lives and communities, the dedication of our talented teammates, the momentum created by maximizing our diverse business model, and key leadership positions in growth markets are competitive advantages that are propelling Truist to reach its full potential.

Detailed below are actions that we have taken to fulfill our purpose to inspire and build better lives and communities, followed by a discussion of our financial results for the second quarter of 2023.

Financial Results

Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2023 of $1.2 billion was down 15.1% compared with the second quarter of 2022. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the second quarter of 2023 were $0.92, a decrease of $0.17, or 15.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Truist’s results of operations for the second quarter of 2023 produced an annualized return on average assets of 0.95% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 8.6% compared to prior year returns of 1.14% and 10.3%, respectively.

•Results for the second quarter of 2023 included merger-related and restructuring charges of $54 million ($41 million after-tax, or $0.03 per share) and a small loss on extinguishment of debt.

•Results for the second quarter of 2022 included $121 million ($92 million after-tax, or $0.07 per share) of merger-related and restructuring charges, $117 million ($89 million after-tax, or $0.07 per share) of incremental operating expenses related to the Merger, and a gain on the redemption of FHLB advances of $39 million ($30 million after-tax, or $0.02 per share).

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2023 was up $244 million, or 7.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to higher market interest rates and strong loan growth. These increases were partially offset by lower purchase accounting accretion. Net interest margin was 2.91%, up two basis points.

•The yield on the total loan portfolio was 6.07%, up 216 basis points, primarily reflecting higher market interest rates, partially offset by lower purchase accounting accretion. The yield on the average securities portfolio was 2.17%, up 35 basis points primarily due to the higher rate environment.

•The average cost of total deposits was 1.51%, up 142 basis points. The average cost of short-term borrowings was 5.19%, up 393 basis points. The average cost of long-term debt was 4.62%, up 287 basis points. The increase in rates on deposits and other funding sources was largely attributable to the higher rate environment.

Noninterest income was up $45 million, or 2.0%, compared to the second quarter of 2022 due to higher insurance income and other income, partially offset by lower investment banking and trading income.

Noninterest expense was up $168 million, or 4.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2022 due to higher personnel expense, other expense, and regulatory costs, partially offset by lower merger-related and restructuring charges. Merger-related and restructuring charges and incremental operating expenses related to the merger decreased $67 million and $117 million, respectively, due to the completion of integration-related activities. Adjusted noninterest expenses, which exclude merger-related costs, the amortization of intangibles, and the aforementioned gains and losses on the early extinguishment of debt increased $321 million, or 9.9%.

The effective tax rate decreased compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily driven by lower income before taxes.

Asset quality reflects normalization and modest deterioration in commercial portfolios.

•Nonperforming loans and leases held for investment were 0.47% of loans and leases held for investment at June 30, 2023, up 11 basis points compared to March 31, 2023. The increase in nonperforming assets was concentrated in the CRE and commercial and industrial portfolios.

•The allowance for credit losses was $4.9 billion and includes $4.6 billion for the allowance for loan and lease losses and $273 million for the reserve for unfunded commitments. The ALLL ratio was 1.43%, up six basis points compared with March 31, 2023 primarily due to an updated economic outlook.

•The provision for credit losses was $538 million compared to $171 million for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in the current quarter provision expense primarily reflects higher net charge-offs and an updated economic outlook.

•The net charge-off ratio was 54 basis points, up 32 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2022 driven by the sale of the student loan portfolio, which had a 12 basis point impact, as well as higher charge-offs in the commercial and industrial, CRE, and indirect auto portfolios.

Capital and liquidity strengthened during the second quarter of 2023.

•Truist CET1 ratio was 9.6% as of June 30, 2023. The increase since March 31, 2023 resulted from the minority stake sale in IH and organic capital generation. Truist closed the sale of the minority stake in IH on April 3, 2023, which added 31 basis points to the risk-based regulatory capital ratios.

•Truist declared common dividends of $0.52 per share during the second quarter of 2023. The dividend payout ratio for the second quarter of 2023 was 56%. Truist did not repurchase any shares in the second quarter of 2023.

•Truist’s average consolidated LCR was 112% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the regulatory minimum of 100%.

•Truist has significant and strong access to liquidity with $178 billion of available liquidity as of June 30, 2023 compared to $171 billion as of December 31, 2022.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and NIM

•Average earning assets increased $30.3 billion, or 6.4%, primarily due to growth in average total loans of $28.4 billion, or 9.5%, and growth in other earning assets of $13.8 billion, or 65%, primarily due to an increase in balances held at the Federal Reserve to support liquidity build, partially offset by a decrease in average securities of $10.3 billion, or 6.9%.

•Average deposits decreased $23.9 billion, or 5.6%, average short-term borrowings increased $14.4 billion, and average long-term debt increased $32.4 billion, or 104%.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was up $954 million, or 14%, compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to higher market interest rates and strong loan growth.

•Average earning assets increased $29.7 billion, or 6.3%, compared to the prior period primarily due to growth in average total loans of $31.7 billion, or 11%, and growth in other earning assets of $10.2 billion, or 51%, primarily due to an increase in balances held at the Federal Reserve to support liquidity build, partially offset by a $11.2 billion, or 7.4%, decrease in average securities.

•The yield on the total loan portfolio was 5.94% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, up 214 basis points, compared to the prior period primarily reflecting higher market interest rates, partially offset by lower purchase accounting accretion. The yield on the average securities portfolio was 2.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, up 41 basis points compared to the prior period primarily due to the higher rate environment.

•Average deposits decreased $15.4 billion, or 3.7%, while average short-term borrowings increased $15.7 billion, or 190%, compared to the prior period and average long-term debt increased $24.1 billion, or 72%.

The average cost on long-term debt was 4.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, up 276 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, 2023, the remaining unamortized fair value marks on the loan and lease portfolio and long-term debt were $579 million and $59 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the remaining unamortized fair value marks on the loan and lease portfolio and long-term debt were $741 million and $81 million, respectively.

The remaining unamortized purchase accounting fair value mark on loans and leases consists of $389 million for consumer loans and leases, and $190 million for commercial loans and leases. These amounts will be recognized over the remaining contractual lives of the underlying instruments or as paydowns occur.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was $538 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $171 million for the second quarter of 2022.

•The increase in the current quarter provision expense primarily reflects higher net charge-offs and an updated economic outlook.

•The net charge-off ratio was up compared to the second quarter of 2022 driven by the sale of the student loan portfolio as well as higher charge-offs in the commercial and industrial, CRE, and indirect auto portfolios.

The provision for credit losses was $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $76 million in the same period in 2022. The net charge-off ratio for the current period of 0.46% was up 23 basis points compared to the prior period.

•The increase in the current quarter provision expense primarily reflects higher net charge-offs and an updated economic outlook.

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

Noninterest income was up $45 million, or 2.0%, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 due to higher insurance income and other income, partially offset by lower investment banking and trading income.

•Insurance income increased primarily due to strong 9.1% organic growth and acquisitions.

•Other income increased primarily due to higher income from investments held for certain post-retirement benefits (which is primarily offset by higher personnel expense), partially offset by derivative collateral related costs.

•Investment banking and trading income decreased due to lower structured real estate income and lower trading income.

Noninterest income was up $137 million, or 3.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to higher insurance income, partially offset by lower investment banking and trading income and lower other income. The prior period included $70 million of securities losses and a $74 million gain on the redemption of noncontrolling equity interest (included in other income).

•Insurance income increased primarily due to strong 7.0% organic growth and acquisitions.

•Investment banking and trading income decreased due to lower structured real estate income, partially offset by higher merger and acquisition fees.

•Other income decreased primarily due to the aforementioned gain on the redemption of noncontrolling equity in the prior period and higher derivative collateral related costs, partially offset by higher income from investments held for certain post-retirement benefits (which is primarily offset by higher personnel expense).

Noninterest expense was up $168 million, or 4.7%, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 due to higher personnel expense, other expense, and regulatory costs, partially offset by lower merger-related and restructuring charges. Merger-related and restructuring charges and incremental operating expenses related to the merger decreased $67 million and $117 million, respectively, due to the completion of integration-related activities. The second quarter of 2022 included a gain on the redemption of FHLB advances of $39 million. Adjusted noninterest expenses, which exclude merger-related costs, the amortization of intangibles, and gains and losses on the early extinguishment of debt, increased $321 million, or 9.9%.

•Personnel expense increased due to investments in teammates by increasing Truist’s minimum wage, the impact from acquisitions, investments in revenue producing businesses and enterprise technology, and higher other post-retirement benefit expense (which is almost entirely offset by higher other income), partially offset by lower pension expenses.

•Other expense increased primarily due to higher pension expense (driven primarily by lower plan assets), partially offset by lower operating losses.

•Regulatory costs increased primarily due to an increase in the FDIC’s deposit insurance assessment rate.

Noninterest expense was up $185 million, or 2.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to higher personnel expense, other expense, and regulatory costs, partially offset by lower merger-related and restructuring charges. Merger-related and restructuring charges and incremental operating expenses related to the merger decreased $220 million and $319 million, respectively, due to the completion of integration-related activities. The prior period included a gain on the redemption of FHLB advances of $39 million. Adjusted noninterest expenses, which exclude merger-related costs, the amortization of intangibles, and gains and losses on the early extinguishment of debt, increased $694 million, or 11%.

•Other expense increased primarily due to higher pension expense (driven primarily by lower plan assets), partially offset by lower operating losses.

Consumer Banking and Wealth

CB&W net income was $931 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $171 million compared to the second quarter of 2022.

•Segment net interest income increased $375 million primarily driven by favorable funding credit on deposits attributable to the higher rate environment and higher average loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in loan spread, lower average deposit balances, and lower purchase accounting accretion.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Investment Activities

The securities portfolio totaled $124.9 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $129.5 billion at December 31, 2022. U.S. Treasury, GSE, and Agency MBS represents 97% of the total securities portfolio as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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.

•The decrease includes paydowns and maturities of $5.4 billion during 2023.

•As of June 30, 2023, 41% of the investment securities portfolio was classified as held-to-maturity based on amortized cost.

•As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately 5.7% of the securities portfolio was variable rate, excluding the impact of swaps.

•The effective duration of the AFS securities portfolio was 6.2 years at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The effective duration of the HTM securities portfolio was 7.4 years at June 30, 2023 and 7.3 years at December 31, 2022.

Average loans held for investment increased $352 million, or 0.1%, compared to the prior quarter, while period-end loans held for investment were $322.1 billion, down $5.6 billion compared to March 31, 2023, primarily due to the sale of the student loan portfolio at the end of the second quarter of 2023 and loan growth moderation in lower return portfolios.

•Average commercial loans increased 0.8% due to a seasonal increase in mortgage warehouse lending and growth within the core commercial and industrial portfolio.

•Average consumer loans decreased 1.0% due to lower indirect auto production, the continued run-off of the student loan portfolio (prior to the sale at the end of the period), and lower home equity balances, partially offset by growth in higher-return point-of-sale lending in the other consumer portfolio (Service Finance and Sheffield).

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 53% of loans and leases HFI were variable rate.

Nonperforming assets totaled $1.6 billion at June 30, 2023, up $322 million compared to March 31, 2023. Nonperforming loans and leases held for investment were 0.47% of loans and leases held for investment at June 30, 2023, up 11 basis points compared to March 31, 2023. The increase in nonperforming assets was concentrated in the CRE and commercial and industrial portfolios.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $662 million at June 30, 2023, down $699 million, or twenty-one basis points as a percentage of loans and leases, compared with the prior quarter primarily due to the sale of government guaranteed student loans and 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, 2023, unchanged from March 31, 2023.

Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing of $1.6 billion at June 30, 2023 were down $255 million, or 7 basis points as a percentage of loans and leases, compared to the prior quarter primarily due to declines in government guaranteed student loans as a result of exiting that portfolio.

CRE and Commercial Construction

Truist has noted that the CRE and commercial construction portfolios have the potential for heightened risk in the current environment. Truist maintains a high-quality portfolio through disciplined risk management and prudent client selection. In addition, the Company’s exposure to large CRE tends to have more institutional sponsorship and the Company has reduced exposure to smaller CRE. Truist’s CRE and commercial construction portfolios were $28.8 billion as of June 30, 2023.

Our office portfolio, which makes up approximately 18% of total CRE and commercial construction loans, is weighted towards Class A properties as of June 30, 2023. Truist maintains rigorous credit risk management surveillance routines across all loan portfolios. During 2023, Truist performed multiple reviews of the CRE office portfolio. Nonperforming loans and criticized loans in this portfolio have increased in this period.

(1)Excludes provision for credit losses and allowances related to other financial assets at amortized cost.

(2)The first quarter of 2023 includes the impact from the adoption of the Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures accounting standard.

The allowance for credit losses was $4.9 billion and includes $4.6 billion for the allowance for loan and lease losses and $273 million for the reserve for unfunded commitments. The ALLL ratio was 1.43%, up six basis points compared with March 31, 2023 primarily due to an updated economic outlook. The ALLL covered nonperforming loans and leases held for investment 3.0X compared to 3.8X at March 31, 2023. At June 30, 2023, the ALLL was 2.6X annualized net charge-offs, compared to 3.7X at March 31, 2023. The ALLL to annualized net charge-offs for the current quarter was impacted by the charge-off related to the sale of the student loan portfolio. Excluding the impact from the student loan charge-offs, the ALLL to annualized net charge-offs was 3.4X at June 30, 2023.

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, 2023, Truist held or serviced the first lien on 32% of its second lien positions.

Total average deposits	$	399,826	$	408,458	$	413,276	$	420,096	$	423,750

Average deposits for the second quarter of 2023 were $399.8 billion, a decrease of $8.6 billion, or 2.1%, compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to the impact of client tax payments and prior quarter activity.

Average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased 5.6% compared to the prior quarter and represented 30.9% of total deposits for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 32.1% for the first quarter of 2023 and 35.1% compared to the year ago quarter. Average interest checking and money market and savings declined 6.2% and 1.2%, respectively, compared to the prior quarter. Average time deposits increased 25% due to an increase in retail client time deposits primarily due to migration from other deposit products and brokered time deposits. Average brokered deposits were $26.2 billion, up $5.0 billion compared to the prior quarter.

Truist has a very granular and relationship-based deposit franchise. Approximately 63% of deposits are insured or collateralized. Truist deposit accounts are typically based on long-term relationships and include multiple products and services.

The estimated amount of deposits that are uninsured was $171.8 billion, $175.9 billion, and $189.6 billion as of June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, calculated using the same methodology as the Call Report for Truist Bank. The decrease in uninsured deposits from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 was largely due to commercial clients that chose to diversify into money market mutual funds or across multiple banks late in the first quarter. These outflows were primarily higher-cost, non-operational deposits.

Borrowings

At June 30, 2023, short-term borrowings totaled $24.5 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion compared to December 31, 2022. Average short-term borrowings were $24.0 billion, or 4.9% of total funding, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $8.3 billion, or 1.8%, for the same period in 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 $44.7 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.5 billion compared to December 31, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had:

•Maturities and redemptions of $4.0 billion of senior notes.

•Issued $6.3 billion fixed-to-floating rate senior notes with interest rates between 4.87% and 6.05% due from June 8, 2027 to June 8, 2034.

•Net redemptions of $500 million of FHLB floating rate advances as issuances in the first quarter of 2023 were redeemed in the second quarter.

In July 2023, Truist announced it will redeem all $500 million principal amount outstanding of its 3.69% fixed-to-floating rate senior bank notes due August 2, 2024 on the redemption date of August 2, 2023.

(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 profitability, returns relative to balance sheet risk, and shareholder value.

Total shareholders’ equity was $63.7 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $3.1 billion from December 31, 2022. This increase includes $2.9 billion in net income, $1.4 billion received in connection with the IH minority stake sale, net of tax, and a $227 million increase in AOCI, partially offset by $1.6 billion in common and preferred dividends. Truist’s book value per common share at June 30, 2023 was $42.68, compared to $40.58 at December 31, 2022. Truist TBVPS of $20.44 at June 30, 2023, increased 13% compared to December 31, 2022.

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 framework 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 measurement and monitoring and enables Truist to clearly and transparently communicate to stakeholders the level of potential risk the Company faces 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.

Truist’s compensation plans are designed to consider 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.

Refer to Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional disclosures under the section titled “Risk Management.”

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.

Truist Financial Corporation 63

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 applies an average deposit beta of approximately 50% to its interest-bearing accounts when determining its interest rate sensitivity, which is consistent with Truist’s long-term expectations. 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
Gradual Change in Prime Rate (bps)	Prime Rate
	Jun 30, 2023		Jun 30, 2022		Jun 30, 2023		Jun 30, 2022
Up 100	9.25	%	5.75	%	(1.00)	%	1.68	%
Up 50	8.75		5.25		(0.61)		1.65
No Change	8.25		4.75		—		—
Down 50(1)	7.75		4.25		(0.04)		(2.86)
Down 100(1)	7.25		3.75		0.09		(3.94)

(1)The Down 50 and 100 rate scenarios incorporate a floor of one basis point.

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

Management considers how the interest rate risk position could be impacted by changes in balance sheet mix. Liquidity in the banking industry was very strong post-COVID-19, which resulted in growth in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. However, with the significant increase in rates in 2022 and the first half of 2023, noninterest-bearing deposits have begun to shift to interest-bearing accounts. Additional movement above what is currently projected would reduce the asset sensitivity of Truist’s balance sheet because the Company may increase interest-bearing funds to offset the loss of these advantageous noninterest-bearing deposits. 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 behavior of these noninterest-bearing deposits is one of the most important assumptions used in determining the interest rate risk position of Truist.

64 Truist Financial Corporation

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, 2023(1)		Results Assuming a Decrease in Noninterest-Bearing Demand Deposits
			$20 Billion		$40 Billion
Up 100	(1.00)	%	(1.77)	%	(2.54)	%
Up 50	(0.61)		(1.17)		(1.74)

(1)The base scenario is equal to the annualized hypothetical percentage change in net interest income at June 30, 2023 as presented in the preceding table.

Truist uses financial instruments including derivatives to manage interest rate risk related to securities, commercial loans, MSRs, 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, 2023, Truist had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $509.8 billion. See “Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional disclosures. In the second quarter of 2023, there was a $135 billion increase in notional amounts on derivatives with central clearing parties as a result of the conversion from LIBOR to SOFR. This increased notional amount is a short term impact of the conversion, with most of the increase maturing in the third and fourth quarter of 2023.

LIBOR Transition

The remaining tenors of U.S. dollar LIBOR ceased publication on June 30, 2023. 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 risks related to the transition from LIBOR to a new index or multiple indices and provides updates to Executive Leadership and the Board on progress. Training has been provided for impacted teammates and will continue during the second half of 2023. Truist provided timely notices and information to impacted clients about the transition during the first half of 2023. Truist continues to manage the impact of LIBOR-based contracts and other financial instruments, systems implications, hedging strategies, and related operational and market risks.

Contract fallback language for LIBOR contracts was reviewed to identify required remediation to support the transition away from LIBOR. Impacted lines of business have remediated substantially all of these contracts to include standardized fallback language or amended contracts to new reference rates ahead of cessation. Fallback language used to remediate loan agreements was generally consistent with ARRC recommendations and included use of “hardwired fallback” language, which will transition loans to a SOFR based rate after June 30, 2023. Similarly, fallback language used to remediate LIBOR based derivatives was generally consistent with ISDA publications.

Loan contracts, excluding mortgage loans, that mature post June 30, 2023 will transition primarily to SOFR following the cessation date. For contracts remaining without fallback language, Truist leveraged the LIBOR Act and corresponding safe harbor provision to transition these loans to SOFR. Truist’s adjustable-rate mortgage products had consistent and adequate fallback language to transition to SOFR, based on lender discretion and as supported by the LIBOR Act; therefore, these contracts did not require remediation. For many consumer lending portfolios, LIBOR will transition to the SOFR rate specified in the LIBOR Act and the rules promulgated thereunder by the FRB and will benefit from the safe harbor provisions of the LIBOR Act.

Derivatives that reference LIBOR will transition to a SOFR-based replacement rate as set forth in the ISDA protocol addressing LIBOR fallbacks between the Company and its counterparties which have adhered to the protocol, through bilateral amendments between the Company and each of its counterparties, or as established under the LIBOR Act and rules promulgated thereunder by the FRB.

The Company’s preferred securities and the Company’s and Truist Bank’s floating rate notes that reference LIBOR will transition to a SOFR based rate utilizing application of the LIBOR Act and the rules promulgated thereunder by the FRB. Truist recently announced that these securities would move to a 3-month adjusted term SOFR in accordance with the LIBOR Act. See “Note 12. Shareholders’ Equity” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for information about preferred stock using LIBOR.

Alternatives, such as SOFR, may react differently from LIBOR in times of economic stress. Truist expects SOFR to be the primary pricing benchmark used across the industry and will continue to offer additional SOFR based products. Additional alternative reference rates will be supported based on market demand. For a further discussion of the various risks associated with the 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, 2022.

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, 2023, the aggregate market value of on-balance sheet securitization positions subject to the Market Risk Rule was $56 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, 2023.

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, 2023 and 2022. Average one and ten-day VaR measures for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 increased from the same period of last year, primarily driven by higher market making inventory.

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)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Maximum	$	96	$	87	$	96	$	109
Average	54		66		49		71
Minimum	25		40		25		40
Period-end	96		81		96		81

Compared to the prior year, Stressed VaR measures decreased primarily due to higher diversification benefits in 2023.

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, there were no Company-wide VaR backtesting exceptions during the twelve months ended June 30, 2023. 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.

Truist Financial Corporation 67

Model Risk Oversight

MRO 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 MRO 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 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.

68 Truist Financial Corporation

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 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.

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 $84.8 billion and Truist’s average LCR was 112% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

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, 2023 and March 31, 2023, Truist’s NSFR was 127%.

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. Available investment securities could be pledged to create additional secured borrowing capacity. The following table presents a summary of Truist Bank’s available secured borrowing capacity and eligible cash at the FRB:


Table 21: Selected Liquidity Sources
(Dollars in millions)	Jun 30, 2023		Dec 31, 2022
Unused borrowing capacity:
FRB	$	52,737	$	49,250
FHLB	23,219		20,770
Available investment securities (after haircuts)	77,875		85,401
Available secured borrowing capacity	153,831		155,421
Eligible cash at the FRB	24,658		15,556
Total	$	178,489	$	170,977

At June 30, 2023, Truist Bank’s available secured borrowing capacity represented approximately 3.2 times the amount of wholesale funding maturities in one-year or less. Truist additionally has the ability to increase sources of funding by pledging available investment securities to receive the par value of the collateral under the FRB Bank Term Funding Program.

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, 2022 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Parent Company had 47 months and 37 months, respectively, of cash on hand to satisfy projected cash outflows, and 25 months and 22 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, 2022 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: Recent changes in the Company’s credit ratings and outlooks include:

•On March 31,2023, S&P Global Ratings affirmed the ratings of Truist and Truist Bank and revised the outlook on those ratings to “stable” from “positive,” citing heightened market volatility in the wake of recent bank failures and, with inflation still elevated, higher uncertainty, and greater downside risk in the economic outlook. The change in outlook was part of a broader action by S&P Global Ratings whereby the “positive” outlook on three other large U.S. banks was revised to “stable.”

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.

70 Truist Financial Corporation

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 limits, which are above the regulatory “well capitalized” minimums. Management has implemented internal stress capital ratio minimums to evaluate whether capital ratios calculated after the effect of alternative capital actions are likely to remain above internal minimums. Breaches of internal stressed minimums prompt a review of the planned capital actions included in Truist’s capital plan.


Table 22: Capital Requirements
	Minimum Capital		Well Capitalized				Minimum Capital Plus Stress Capital Buffer(1)
			Truist		Truist Bank
CET1	4.5	%	NA		6.5	%	7.0	%
Tier 1 capital	6.0		6.0	%	8.0		8.5
Total capital	8.0		10.0		10.0		10.5

Supplementary leverage ratio	3.0		NA		NA		NA

(1)Reflects a SCB requirement of 2.5% applicable to Truist as of June 30, 2023. Truist’s SCB requirement, received in the 2022 CCAR process, is effective from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023. Under the 2023 CCAR process, Truist was notified its preliminary SCB requirement would remain 2.9% from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Truist’s capital ratios are presented in the following table:


Table 23: Capital Ratios - Truist Financial Corporation
(Dollars in millions)	Jun 30, 2023			Dec 31, 2022
Risk-based:	(preliminary)
CET1	9.6		%	9.0		%
Tier 1 capital	11.1			10.5
Total capital	13.2			12.4
Leverage ratio	8.8			8.5
Supplementary leverage ratio	7.5			7.3
Risk-weighted assets	$	434,985		$	434,413

Capital ratios remained strong compared to the regulatory requirements for well capitalized banks. Truist declared common dividends of $0.52 per share during the second quarter of 2023. The dividend payout ratio for the second quarter of 2023 was 56%. Truist did not repurchase any shares in the second quarter of 2023.

Truist CET1 ratio was 9.6% as of June 30, 2023. The increase since December 31, 2022 resulted from the minority stake sale in IH and organic capital generation. Truist closed the sale of the minority stake in IH on April 3, 2023, which added 31 basis points to the risk-based regulatory capital ratios.

Truist completed the 2023 CCAR process and received the preliminary SCB requirement of 2.9% for the period October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. The Federal Reserve will provide Truist with its final SCB requirement by August 31, 2023.
