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:

current and future economic and market conditions, such as the interest rate environment, including the replacement of LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark; U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters; geopolitical matters (including conflicts in the Ukraine, Israel, and the Gaza Strip); and any slow down in global economic growth 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;
regulatory and supervisory 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;
evolving legislative, accounting standards, regulatory and supervisory standards, including with respect to climate, deposit, capital, liquidity, and long-term debt requirements, which may become more stringent in light of recent turmoil in the banking industry and results of regulatory examinations, which 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;
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;
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;
unexpected outflows of uninsured deposits may require Truist to sell investment securities at a loss;
a loss of value of Truist’s investment portfolio could negatively impact market perceptions of Truist and could lead to deposit withdrawals;
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 achieve its cost saves targets;
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, which 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 we fail to anticipate client expectations or because our 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;
Truist faces substantial legal and operational risks in safeguarding personal information;
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 or if there is a decline in a reporting unit’s forecasted net income;
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;
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; and
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.

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 DateDescriptionEffects 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 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 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)Sep 30, 2023Dec 31, 2022

Fair value of collateral permitted to be resold or repledged$1,789 $3,058

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 September 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 September 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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 $74 million and $442 million and the consumer ALLL increased $4 million and decreased $140 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The increase in the commercial ALLL primarily reflects an increase in reserves related to the CRE and commercial construction portfolios. The slight increase in the consumer ALLL compared to the prior quarter reflects loan growth in certain indirect consumer portfolios, offset by run-off primarily in indirect auto and residential mortgage. The decrease in the consumer ALLL for the year-to-date period primarily reflects the sale of the student portfolio in the second quarter as well as impacts associated with the adoption of the Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosure accounting standard in the first quarter of 2023.

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 September 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 September 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 September 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 $77 million as of September 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 September 30, 2023, Truist had $594 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 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 period-end delinquency status and amortized cost of loans that were modified since January 1, 2023. The period-end delinquency status of loans that were modified are disclosed at amortized cost and reflect the impact of any paydowns, payoffs, and/or charge-offs that occurred subsequent to modification.

NOTE 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company observed continuing declines in its financial forecasts for its CB&W and C&CB reporting units. The Company considered such declines in the context of industry related factors, including a decline in bank share prices, concluding that a triggering event had occurred for its CB&W and C&CB reporting units, and therefore Truist performed a quantitative test for these reporting units as of August 1, 2023. Based on the results of the impairment analyses, the Company concluded that the fair values of the reporting units exceed their respective carrying values; therefore, there was no goodwill impairment. However, for the CB&W, and C&CB reporting units, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%, indicating that the goodwill of these reporting units may be at risk of impairment. The Company monitored events and circumstances during the period from August 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023, including macroeconomic and market factors, industry and banking sector events, Truist specific performance indicators, a comparison of management’s forecast and assumptions to those used in its August 1, 2023 quantitative impairment test, and the sensitivity of the August 1, 2023 quantitative test results to changes in assumptions through September 30, 2023. Based on these considerations, the Company 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 September 30, 2023. 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 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 September 30, 2023 and 2022, the provision for income taxes was $245 million and $363 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 17.2% and 18.2%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by decreases in the full year forecasted effective tax rate, partially offset by changes in discrete tax items. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the provision for income taxes was $926 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 18.6% and 18.8%, respectively. 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:

NOTE 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Truist utilizes a variety of financial instruments to mitigate exposure to risks and meet the financing needs and provide investment opportunities for clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees, derivatives, and other investments. Truist also has commitments to fund certain affordable housing investments and contingent liabilities related to certain sold loans.

Tax Credit and Certain Equity Investments

The Company invests as a limited partner in certain projects through the New Market Tax Credit program, which is a Federal financial program aimed to stimulate business and real estate investment in underserved communities via a Federal tax credit. Following the first quarter of 2023 adoption of the Investments in Tax Credit Structures accounting standard, these tax credits, referred to as “Other qualified tax credits” below, qualify for the proportional amortization method. The Company also applied the proportional amortization method to investments through the Production Tax Credits program. Refer to “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” for additional information.

The following table summarizes certain tax credit and certain equity investments:

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:

Total return swaps:
VIE assets$1,780 $1,830 
Trading loans and bonds1,732 1,790 
VIE liabilities92 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.

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.

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 September 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 alleges 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. The amended complaint asserts claims for violations of civil and criminal usury laws, conversion, and money had and received, and seeks damages on a class-wide basis, including refunds of challenged overdraft fees and pre-judgment interest. On October 6, 2017, the trial court granted plaintiff’s motion for class certification and defined the class as “Every Georgia citizen who had or has one or more accounts with SunTrust Bank and who, from July 12, 2006, to October 6, 2017 (i) had at least one overdraft of $500.00 or less resulting from an ATM or debit card transaction (the “Transaction”); (ii) paid any Overdraft Fees as a result of the Transaction; and (iii) did not receive a refund of those Fees,” and the granting of a certified class was affirmed on appeal. On behalf of the certified class as currently defined, Plaintiff seeks a return of up to $452 million in paid overdraft fees from the 2006 to 2017 period above, plus prejudgment interest. Truist intends to file motions to amend the class definition to narrow the scope of the class, to compel arbitration against certain class members, and for summary judgment by the current dispositive motion deadline of October 31, 2023. Trial is presently set to commence on April 29, 2024. The Company continues to believe that it has substantial defenses against the underlying claims.

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 (“RDC”) systems infringed three patents held by USAA. The complaint sought 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. USAA later amended its complaint to assert two additional RDC patents in the lawsuit. The Company filed its answer and affirmative defenses on October 11, 2022, denying that it infringed any of the patents at issue in the lawsuit and asserting that USAA’s patents were invalid or unenforceable. The Company further asserted counterclaims seeking damages as well as injunctive relief against USAA for infringing six patents owned by the Company and practiced by USAA’s mobile RDC systems. The Company also filed petitions for inter partes review (“IPR”) at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board challenging the validity of each of the five patents asserted by USAA in the lawsuit, and review was granted for two of the patents and denied for one of the patents.

Truist Financial Corporation 31


Effective September 29, 2023, the Company and USAA entered into a Settlement and Patent License Agreement resolving the lawsuit. The lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice on October 10, 2023, and the Company’s pending IPR proceedings regarding USAA’s RDC patents have been terminated. The financial impact of the resolution did not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or operating results.

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

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 $25 million and $108 million of LHFS carried at cost at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, that did not require a valuation adjustment during the period. Additionally, the table above excludes $98 million of charge-offs related to the student loan portfolio sale that occurred in the second quarter of 2023, which was previously provided for. 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, OREO, and held for sale operating leases, 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:

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 September 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.

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’s recapitalized from a corporate entity to an LLC, such that each partner is allocated its share of Insurance Holding’s income before taxes, and beginning in the second quarter of 2023 the Company recognizes its associated income tax provision through OT&C. The Company elected not to restate prior periods for this change based on IH’s previous status as a corporate entity. The Company recognized $30 million and $84 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, of tax provision related to IH in OT&C. In the third quarter of 2023, IH recognized $3 million of taxes for certain state jurisdictions that impose income taxes on partnerships and LLCs.

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 certain 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 are valued at par.

In July 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 December 18, 2023.

Banking agencies have proposed certain actions described below. We continue to evaluate these proposals and the potential impacts, if adopted as proposed, on the Company and Truist Bank.

In July 2023, the U.S. banking regulators issued a proposal to revise the risk-based capital standards applicable to the Company and Truist Bank. This proposal would introduce new approaches for credit risk, operational risk, market risk and credit valuation adjustment risk that generally align with the approaches for these risks under the global Basel Accord adopted by the Basel Committee. The proposal would introduce a new measure of risk-weighted assets, which would reflect the proposed new standardized approaches for credit risk, operational risk and credit valuation adjustment risk, as well as a proposed new measure for market risk that would be based on both internal models and standardized supervisory models of market risk. The proposal includes a proposed effective date of July 1, 2025, subject to a three-year transition period ending July 1, 2028, over which the expanded total risk-weighted assets would be phased in.

In August 2023, the U.S. banking regulators proposed a rule that would require banking organizations with $100 billion or more in total assets to comply with long-term debt requirements and clean holding company requirements that currently apply only to global systemically important banking organizations. This proposal would also impose a long-term debt requirement on certain categories of insured depository institutions that are not consolidated subsidiaries of U.S. GSIBs, including insured depository institutions with $100 billion or more in total assets, such as Truist Bank. If adopted, this proposal would require the Company and Truist Bank to each maintain a minimum outstanding eligible long-term debt amount of no less than the greatest of (i) 6% of risk-weighted assets, (ii) 2.5% of total leverage exposure and (iii) 3.5% of average total consolidated assets. Truist Bank would be required to issue the minimum amount of eligible long-term debt to the Company, and the Company would be required to issue the minimum amount of eligible long-term debt externally. In addition, if adopted as proposed, the clean holding company requirement would limit or prohibit the Company from entering into certain transactions that could impede its orderly resolution, including, for example, prohibiting the Company from entering into transactions that could spread losses to subsidiaries and third parties, as well as limiting the amount of the Company’s liabilities that are not eligible long-term debt.

Truist Financial Corporation 45


In August 2023, the FDIC issued a proposal to amend its rules requiring covered insured depository institutions, including Truist Bank, to periodically submit resolution plans to the FDIC. If adopted as proposed, Truist Bank would be required to submit a full resolution plan to the FDIC every two years and submit an interim supplement in each year that it is not required to submit a full resolution plan. In addition, this proposal would increase the content requirements for plan submissions and introduce a new credibility standard for the FDIC’s evaluation of resolution plans, which would be enforceable against the covered insured depository institutions. Separately, the FRB and FDIC also proposed updated guidance on resolution planning requirements applicable to the Company under Section 165(d) of the Dodd-Frank Act.

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.

Executive Overview

The transformative work we announced in the third quarter to improve our financial performance is well underway. We are driving swift and meaningful actions to simplify our organization and reduce expenses. Our continued focus on core clients, paring back non-core and lower-return portfolios, and paying down higher-cost borrowings has made our balance sheet more efficient and helped drive a modest improvement in our net interest margin.

Noninterest expense was flat compared to the second quarter, and down 50 basis points on an adjusted basis, reflecting our expense discipline. Our $750 million gross cost saves program and efforts to simplify the organization are underway and we are focused on expense discipline while also investing in our core franchise and risk management systems.

Our cost save program includes:

Reductions in force
Spans and layers
Consolidation of redundant/similar functions
Select business restructuring
Geographic simplification
Organizational alignment and simplification
Consolidate businesses for operational efficiency
More efficient branch network and staffing structure
Simplified and streamlined compensation and benefits programs
Reallocate investments to core businesses
Rationalize technology spend
Focus on opportunities in core businesses

We remain strongly committed to improving our capital position, which increased 29 basis points in the third quarter. Asset quality continues to normalize but remains in-line with our expectations and allowance coverage ratios.

As we continue to diligently execute on this critical work to capitalize on our competitive advantages and drive efficiencies, we are fundamentally changing how we operate to drive revenue growth, franchise value and increased benefit to our shareholders, now and into the future.

On October 2, 2023, Truist announced changes to its Board of Directors. On December 31, 2023, the retirements of directors Kelly S. King, Nido R. Qubein, David M. Ratcliffe and Thomas N. Thompson will occur due to these directors reaching Truist’s mandatory retirement age. In addition, Board members Anna R. Cablik, Paul D. Donahue, Easter A. Maynard and Frank P. Scruggs, Jr. notified Truist on September 26, 2023, that they have chosen to conclude their service as directors effective as of December 31, 2023. Their decisions are to address other professional and personal commitments and are not due to any disagreement with Truist on any matter relating to Truist’s operations, policies or practices. The Board and Truist’s management express their deep appreciation to these directors for their dedicated service and many significant contributions to Truist.

Financial Results

Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2023 of $1.1 billion was down 30% compared with the third quarter of 2022. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the third quarter of 2023 were $0.80, a decrease of $0.35, or 30%, compared to the third quarter of 2022. Truist’s results of operations for the third quarter of 2023 produced an annualized return on average assets of 0.86% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 7.5% compared to prior year returns of 1.19% and 10.7%, respectively.

Results for the third quarter of 2023 included merger-related and restructuring charges of $75 million ($58 million after-tax, or $0.04 per share).
Results for the third quarter of 2022 included $62 million ($48 million after-tax, or $0.04 per share) of merger-related and restructuring charges and $90 million ($69 million after-tax, or $0.05 per share) of incremental operating expenses related to the Merger.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 was down $162 million, or 4.3%, compared to the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to higher funding costs and lower purchase accounting accretion, partially offset by higher market interest rates. Net interest margin was 2.95%, down 17 basis points.

The yield on the total loan portfolio was 6.25%, up 176 basis points, primarily reflecting higher market interest rates, partially offset by lower purchase accounting accretion. The yield on the average securities portfolio was 2.26%, up 31 basis points primarily due to the higher rate environment. Average deposits decreased $19.1 billion, or 4.5%, average short-term borrowings increased $7.5 billion, and average long-term debt increased $12.0 billion.
The average cost of total deposits was 1.81%, up 150 basis points. The average cost of short-term borrowings was 5.47%, up 313 basis points. The average cost of long-term debt was 4.51%, up 208 basis points. The increase in rates on deposits and other funding sources was largely attributable to the higher rate environment.

Noninterest income was relatively stable compared to the third quarter of 2022 due to higher other income and insurance income, partially offset by lower service charges on deposits and lower investment banking and trading income. Service charges on deposits include an $87 million reduction due to client refund accruals resulting from a revision in deposit service fee protocols.

Noninterest expense was up $134 million, or 3.7%, compared to the third quarter of 2022 due to higher personnel expense, other expense, and regulatory costs, partially offset by lower professional fees and outside processing, marketing and customer development, and equipment expenses. Merger-related costs, which included merger-related and restructuring charges, as well as incremental operating expenses related to the merger, decreased $77 million, primarily due to the completion of integration-related activities. Adjusted noninterest expenses, which exclude merger-related costs, the amortization of intangibles, and gains and losses on the early extinguishment of debt, increased $221 million, or 6.7%, and includes the impact of $70 million of higher other expenses due to costs associated with the change to the deposit service fee protocols and resolution of certain legal matters.

The effective tax rate decreased compared to the third quarter of 2022 primarily driven by decreases in the full year forecasted effective tax rate, partially offset by changes in discrete tax items.

An increase in the loan loss reserve reflects normalization of asset quality.

Nonperforming loans and leases held for investment were 0.46% of loans and leases held for investment at September 30, 2023, down one basis point compared to June 30, 2023.
The allowance for credit losses was $5.0 billion and includes $4.7 billion for the allowance for loan and lease losses and $277 million for the reserve for unfunded commitments. The ALLL ratio was 1.49%, up six basis points compared with June 30, 2023.
The provision for credit losses was $497 million compared to $234 million for the third quarter of 2022. The increase in the current quarter provision expense primarily reflects higher net charge-offs and an allowance build.
The net charge-off ratio was 51 basis points, up 24 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2022 due to higher charge-offs in the CRE, commercial and industrial, and indirect auto portfolios.

Capital strengthened during the third quarter of 2023.

Truist’s CET1 ratio was 9.9% as of September 30, 2023. The increase since June 30, 2023 resulted from organic capital generation and RWA optimization.
Truist declared common dividends of $0.52 per share during the third quarter of 2023. The dividend payout ratio for the third quarter of 2023 was 65%. Truist did not repurchase any shares in the third quarter of 2023.
Truist’s average consolidated LCR was 110% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the regulatory minimum of 100%.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and NIM

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 was down $162 million, or 4.3%, compared to the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to higher funding costs and lower purchase accounting accretion, partially offset by higher market interest rates. Net interest margin was 2.95%, down 17 basis points.

Average earning assets increased $6.4 billion, or 1.3%, primarily due to growth in average total loans of $8.0 billion, or 2.6%, and growth in other earning assets of $9.4 billion, or 48%, primarily due to an increase in balances held at the Federal Reserve to support liquidity, partially offset by a decrease in average securities of $9.9 billion, or 6.8%.
The yield on the total loan portfolio was 6.25%, up 176 basis points, primarily reflecting higher market interest rates, partially offset by lower purchase accounting accretion. The yield on the average securities portfolio was 2.26%, up 31 basis points primarily due to the higher rate environment.
Average deposits decreased $19.1 billion, or 4.5%, average short-term borrowings increased $7.5 billion, and average long-term debt increased $12.0 billion.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was up $792 million, or 7.6%, compared to the same period in 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 3.01% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, up eight basis points compared to the prior period.

Average earning assets increased $21.9 billion, or 4.6%, compared to the prior period primarily due to growth in average total loans of $23.7 billion, or 7.9%, and growth in other earning assets of $9.9 billion, or 50%, primarily due to an increase in balances held at the Federal Reserve to support liquidity build, partially offset by a $10.8 billion, or 7.2%, decrease in average securities.
The yield on the total loan portfolio was 6.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, up 200 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 2.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, up 37 basis points compared to the prior period primarily due to the higher rate environment.
Average deposits decreased $16.6 billion, or 4.0%, while average short-term borrowings increased $13.0 billion, or 114%, compared to the prior period and average long-term debt increased $20.0 billion, or 61%.
The average cost of total deposits was 1.48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, up 133 basis points compared to the prior period. The average cost of short-term borrowings was 5.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, up 345 basis points compared to the prior period. The average cost on long-term debt was 4.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, up 253 basis points compared to the prior period. The increases in rates on deposits and other funding sources was largely attributable to the higher rate environment.

As of September 30, 2023, the remaining unamortized fair value marks on the loan and lease portfolio and long-term debt were $528 million and $49 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 $367 million for consumer loans and leases, and $161 million for commercial loans and leases. These amounts will be recognized over the remaining contractual lives of the underlying instruments or as paydowns occur.

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

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was $497 million compared to $234 million for the third quarter of 2022. The net charge-off ratio for the current quarter of 0.51% was up 24 basis points compared to the prior quarter.

The increase in the current quarter provision expense primarily reflects an allowance build and higher net charge-offs.
The net charge-off ratio was up compared to the third quarter of 2022 driven by higher charge-offs in the CRE, commercial and industrial, and indirect auto portfolios.

The provision for credit losses was $1.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $310 million in the same period in 2022. The net charge-off ratio for the current period of 0.47% was up 22 basis points compared to the prior period.

The increase in the current period provision expense primarily reflects an allowance build and higher net charge-offs.
The net charge-off ratio was up compared to the prior period driven by higher charge-offs in the commercial and industrial, CRE, indirect auto, other consumer, and credit card portfolios as well as the sale of the student loan portfolio.

Refer to “Note 5. Loans and ACL” for additional discussion of the ACL.

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:

Total noninterest income$2,108 $2,102 0.3 $6,635 $6,492 2.2 

Noninterest income was relatively stable compared to the third quarter of 2022 due to higher other income and insurance income, partially offset by lower service charges on deposits and lower investment banking and trading income.

Other income increased primarily due to higher income on certain equity investments and higher income from investments held for certain post-retirement benefits (which is primarily offset by higher personnel expense).
Insurance income increased primarily due to 6.3% organic growth and acquisitions.
Service charges on deposits decreased primarily due to an $87 million reduction in deposit service charge fees due to client refund accruals resulting from a revision in deposit service fee protocols, as well as reduced overdraft fees.
Investment banking and trading income decreased due to lower structured real estate income, partially offset by higher merger and acquisition activity and equity originations.

Noninterest income was up $143 million, or 2.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to higher insurance income, partially offset by lower service charges on deposits, investment banking and trading income, and other income. The prior period included $71 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 6.8% organic growth and acquisitions.
Service charges on deposits decreased primarily due to the aforementioned service fee protocol revision, as well as reduced overdraft fees.
Investment banking and trading income decreased due to lower structured real estate income, partially offset by higher merger and acquisition fees as well as higher equity and bond originations.
Truist Financial Corporation 51


Other income decreased primarily due to higher derivative collateral related costs and the aforementioned gain on the redemption of noncontrolling equity in the prior period, 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 $134 million, or 3.7%, compared to the third quarter of 2022 due to higher personnel expense, other expense, and regulatory costs, partially offset by lower professional fees and outside processing and marketing and customer development. Merger-related costs, which included merger-related and restructuring charges, as well as incremental operating expenses related to the merger decreased $77 million, primarily due to the completion of integration-related activities. Adjusted noninterest expenses, which exclude merger-related costs, the amortization of intangibles, and gains and losses on the early extinguishment of debt increased $221 million, or 6.7%.

Personnel expense increased due to investments in teammates by increasing Truist’s minimum wage, the impact from acquisitions, and investments in revenue producing businesses and enterprise technology, as well as higher other post-retirement benefit expense (which is almost entirely offset by higher other income). These increases were partially offset by lower pension expenses and lower incentives.
Other expense increased primarily due to higher pension expense (driven primarily by lower plan assets) and includes $70 million of costs associated with a revision in deposit service fee protocols as well as settlement of certain litigation matters, including a settlement and patent licensing agreement that resolved the USAA remote deposit capture patent infringement lawsuit, partially offset by lower operating losses.
Regulatory costs increased primarily due to an increase in the FDIC’s deposit insurance assessment rate.
Professional fees and outside processing expenses decreased due to prior period incremental operating expenses related to the merger, partially offset by higher enterprise technology and other investments.
Marketing and customer development decreased due to reduced marketing compared to the prior year.

52 Truist Financial Corporation


Noninterest expense was up $319 million, or 2.9%, for the nine months ended September 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, professional fees and outside processing expenses, equipment expense, and marketing and customer development expense. Merger-related and restructuring charges and incremental operating expenses related to the merger decreased $207 million and $409 million, respectively, due to the completion of integration-related activities. The prior period also 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 $915 million, or 9.5%.

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) and includes $70 million of costs associated with a revision in deposit service fee protocols as well as settlement of certain litigation matters, including a settlement and patent licensing agreement that resolved the USAA remote deposit capture patent infringement lawsuit, partially offset by lower operating losses.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $245 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $363 million for the same quarter in 2022. The effective tax rate for three months ended September 30, 2023 was 17.2% compared to 18.2% for the earlier quarter. The effective tax rate decreased compared to the third quarter of 2022 primarily driven by decreases in the full year forecasted effective tax rate, partially offset by changes in discrete tax items.

The provision for income taxes was $926 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1.1 billion for the same period in 2022. The effective tax rate for nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was 18.6% and 18.8%, respectively.

Segment Results

Truist operates and measures business activity across three segments: Consumer Banking and Wealth, Corporate and Commercial Banking, and Insurance Holdings, with functional activities included in Other, Treasury, and Corporate. 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.

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 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 OT&C. The Company elected not to restate prior periods for this change based on IH’s previous status as a corporate entity. The Company recognized $30 million and $84 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, of tax provision related to IH in OT&C. In the third quarter of 2023, IH recognized $3 million of taxes for certain state jurisdictions that impose income taxes on partnerships and LLCs.

See “Note 18. Operating Segments” herein and “Note 21. Operating Segments” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional disclosures related to Truist’s reportable business segments, including additional details related to results of operations. Fluctuations in noninterest income and noninterest expense are more fully discussed in the Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense sections above.

Consumer Banking and Wealth

CB&W net income was $834 million for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $162 million compared to the third quarter of 2022.

Segment net interest income decreased $25 million primarily driven by lower average deposit balances, decrease in loan spread and lower average loan balances, partially offset by higher funding credit on deposits.
The provision for credit losses decreased $35 million reflecting an allowance release whereas the earlier period included an allowance build, partially offset by higher charge offs in the indirect auto and other consumer portfolios.
Noninterest income decreased $80 million compared to earlier quarter primarily due to decreased service charge fees on deposits driven by client refund accruals resulting from a revision in deposit service fee protocols as well as reduced overdraft fees, partially offset by higher residential mortgage income and wealth brokerage fees and commissions.
Noninterest expense increased $135 million compared to the earlier quarter driven by higher corporate technology, risk, and operations support expenses along with higher pension cost and FDIC’s deposit insurance assessment rate, partially offset by lower marketing and customer development and professional fees and outside processing.

CB&W average loans and leases held for investment decreased $3.7 billion, or 2.6%, for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the sale of the student loan portfolio at the end of the second quarter of 2023 and a decrease in indirect auto balances, partially offset by increases in residential mortgage, Service Finance, and Sheffield balances.

CB&W average total deposits decreased $14.8 billion, or 5.9%, for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily driven by decreases in interest-bearing checking, money market and savings, and noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in time deposits.

Corporate and Commercial Banking

C&CB net income was $892 million for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $294 million compared to the third quarter of 2022.

Segment net interest income was flat compared to the earlier quarter.
The provision for credit losses increased $302 million which reflects higher commercial and industrial loan charge offs, an allowance build, and loan growth in the current quarter as well as an allowance release in the earlier quarter.
Noninterest income decreased $61 million compared to the earlier quarter primarily due to lower structured real estate fees and commercial mortgage income, partially offset by higher income from lending related fees, merger and acquisition activity, and equity originations.
Noninterest expense increased $46 million compared to the earlier quarter primarily due to higher corporate technology expenses and merger-related and restructuring charges, partially offset by lower corporate marketing expense.

C&CB average loans held for investment increased $12.3 billion, or 7.3%, for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to increases in core commercial and industrial loans.

C&CB average total deposits decreased $16.2 billion, or 11%, for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to declines in average noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by increases in money market and savings.

Insurance Holdings

IH net income was $17 million for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $68 million compared to the third quarter of 2022.

Segment net interest income decreased $91 million driven primarily by interest expense accruals on new intercompany mandatorily redeemable preferred units resulting from the recapitalization of IH.
Noninterest income increased $70 million primarily due to continued organic growth and acquisitions.
Noninterest expense increased $73 million primarily due to the impact of acquisitions, investments in new hires and teammates, performance-driven incentive expense, and higher professional fees and outside processing.

Other, Treasury & Corporate

OT&C generated a net loss of $560 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss of $630 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Segment net interest income decreased $71 million primarily due to higher rates on Treasury funding and funding credit on deposits to other segments, partially offset by funding charges to other segments and interest income on cash balances and securities resulting from the higher rate environment.
The provision for credit losses was flat compared to the earlier quarter.
Noninterest income increased $77 million primarily due to higher income from investments held for certain post-retirement benefits (which is primarily offset by higher personnel expense).
Noninterest expense decreased $120 million compared to the earlier quarter primarily due to a decrease in incremental operating expenses related to the merger as well as credit from other segments for corporate technology project support, partially offset by an increase in operating charge-offs due to costs associated with a revision in deposit service fee protocols as well as settlement of certain litigation matters, including a settlement and patent licensing agreement that resolved the USAA remote deposit capture patent infringement lawsuit, professional fees and outside processing and personnel expenses excluding merger related costs.

Nine Months of 2023 compared to Nine Months of 2022

Consumer Banking and Wealth

CB&W net income was $2.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $130 million, or 4.9%, compared to the prior year.

Segment net interest income increased $919 million driven by favorable funding credit on deposits attributable to the higher rate environment and higher average loans, partially offset by higher funding costs, lower average deposits, and lower purchase accounting accretion.
The provision for credit losses increased $190 million reflecting higher charge offs in the indirect auto and other consumer portfolios, an allowance build in the current period, and a reserve release in the earlier period. The impact of the student loan sale in the second quarter was net neutral to provision.
Truist Financial Corporation 55


Noninterest income decreased $121 million primarily due to decreased service charge fees on deposits driven by client refund accruals resulting from a revision in deposit service fee protocols and a gain on the redemption of noncontrolling equity interest in the earlier period, partially offset by higher mortgage banking income in the current period.
Noninterest expense increased $432 million primarily driven by higher corporate technology costs, salaries expense, pension cost, corporate risk and operations support expenses, and FDIC’s deposit insurance assessment rate, partially offset by lower marketing and customer development, professional fees and outside processing, operational losses, and amortization of intangibles.

CB&W average loans and leases held for investment increased $5.3 billion, or 3.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year driven primarily by an increase in residential mortgage and Service Finance loans, partially offset by the sale of the student loan portfolio in second quarter 2023.

CB&W average total deposits decreased $16.8 billion, or 6.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year primarily due to decreases in average interest-bearing checking, money market and savings, and noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in time deposits.

Truist Wealth had assets under management of $188 billion as of September 30, 2023, an increase of $14 billion, or 8.2%, compared to the prior year primarily due to higher markets and positive net asset flows.

Corporate and Commercial Banking

C&CB net income was $2.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $410 million, or 12.9%, compared to the prior year.

Segment net interest income increased $819 million primarily due to higher funding credit on deposits and higher average loan balances, partially offset by lower purchase accounting accretion.
The provision for credit losses increased $1.0 billion which reflects an allowance build, higher charge offs, and loan growth in the current period as well as an allowance release in the earlier period.
Noninterest income decreased $198 million primarily due to lower structured real estate fees, higher derivative collateral related costs, and lower commercial mortgage income, partially offset by increases in merger and acquisition fees, lending related fees, and equity originations.
Noninterest expense increased $191 million primarily due to higher corporate technology expenses, merger-related and restructuring charges, personnel expenses, and FDIC insurance expense, partially offset by lower corporate marketing expense.

C&CB average loans and leases held for investment increased $19.7 billion, or 12%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year driven by an increase in the commercial and industrial portfolio loans.

C&CB average total deposits decreased $14.0 billion, or 9.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year primarily due to a decrease in average noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in money market and savings.

Insurance Holdings

IH net income was $279 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $122 million, or 30%, compared to the prior year.

Segment net interest income decreased $169 million driven primarily by interest expense accruals on new intercompany mandatorily redeemable preferred units resulting from the recapitalization of IH.
Noninterest income increased $267 million primarily due to continued organic growth and acquisitions.
Noninterest expense increased $312 million primarily due to the impact of acquisitions, investments in new hires and teammates, performance-driven incentive expense, and higher operational loss reserves.

Other, Treasury, and Corporate

OT&C generated a net loss of $1.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of $1.6 billion in the prior year.

Segment net interest income decreased $847 million due to higher funding credit on deposits to other segments and higher rates on Treasury funding, partially offset by higher funds transfer charges to other segments for loans and higher earnings on cash balances and in the securities portfolio driven by the higher rate environment.
56 Truist Financial Corporation


The provision for credit losses increased $11 million, which reflects a reserve release in the prior year as well as an allowance build in the current period.
Noninterest income increased $195 million primarily due to valuation changes from assets held for certain post-retirement benefits in the current period, which is primarily offset by higher personnel expense and losses on the sale of securities in the earlier period.
Noninterest expense decreased $616 million primarily due to a decrease in incremental operating expenses related to the merger and credit from other segments for corporate technology project support, partially offset by an increase in professional fees and outside processing, personnel expenses, operating charge-offs due to costs associated with a revision in deposit service fee protocols as well as settlement of certain litigation matters, including a settlement and patent licensing agreement that resolved the USAA remote deposit capture patent infringement lawsuit, and a gain on the redemption of FHLB advances in the prior year.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Investment Activities

The securities portfolio totaled $120.1 billion at September 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 September 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 $9.4 billion during 2023.
As of September 30, 2023, 41% of the investment securities portfolio was classified as held-to-maturity based on amortized cost.
As of September 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 5.8 years at September 30, 2023 and 6.2 years at December 31, 2022, excluding the impact of swaps. The effective duration of the HTM securities portfolio was 7.0 years at September 30, 2023 and 7.3 years at December 31, 2022.

Average loans held for investment decreased $8.3 billion, or 2.5%, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the sale of the student loan portfolio at the end of the second quarter of 2023 and balance sheet optimization in lower return portfolios. Excluding the student loan sale, average loans held for investment declined 1.1% compared to the prior quarter.

Average commercial loans decreased 1.1% due to a decline in the commercial and industrial portfolio.
Average consumer loans decreased 4.8% due to the sale of the student loan portfolio and lower indirect auto production, partially offset by growth in higher-return point-of-sale lending in the other consumer portfolio (Service Finance and Sheffield).

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

Nonperforming assets totaled $1.6 billion at September 30, 2023, flat compared to June 30, 2023. Nonperforming loans and leases held for investment were 0.46% of loans and leases held for investment at September 30, 2023, down one basis point compared to June 30, 2023.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $574 million at September 30, 2023, down $88 million, or three basis points as a percentage of loans and leases, compared with the prior quarter primarily due to a decline in government guaranteed residential mortgages. Excluding government guaranteed loans, the ratio of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of loans and leases was 0.04% at September 30, 2023, unchanged from June 30, 2023.

Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing of $1.6 billion at September 30, 2023 were up $86 million, or four basis points as a percentage of loans and leases, compared to the prior quarter primarily due to increases in the consumer portfolio, partially offset by decreases in the commercial 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 $29.1 billion as of September 30, 2023.

Our office portfolio, which makes up approximately 17% of total CRE and commercial construction loans, is weighted towards Class A properties as of September 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 in this portfolio have increased in this period.

The allowance for credit losses was $5.0 billion and includes $4.7 billion for the allowance for loan and lease losses and $277 million for the reserve for unfunded commitments. The ALLL ratio was 1.49%, up six basis points compared with June 30, 2023. The ALLL covered nonperforming loans and leases held for investment 3.2X compared to 3.0X at June 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, the ALLL was 2.9X annualized net charge-offs, compared to 2.6X at June 30, 2023. The ALLL to annualized net charge-offs for the prior 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 September 30, 2023, Truist held or serviced the first lien on 32% of its second lien positions.

Average deposits for the third quarter of 2023 were $401.0 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion, or 0.3%, compared to the prior quarter.

Average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased 3.9% compared to the prior quarter and represented 29.6% of total deposits for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 30.9% for the second quarter of 2023 and 34.8% compared to the year ago quarter. Average time deposits increased 14% due to increases in retail client time deposits, primarily due to migration from other deposit products, and brokered time deposits. Average brokered deposits were $33.0 billion, up $6.8 billion compared to the prior quarter.

Truist has a very granular and relationship-based deposit franchise. Approximately 64% 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 $164.5 billion, $171.8 billion, $175.9 billion, and $189.6 billion as of September 30, 2023, 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. The decrease in uninsured deposits during the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the maturity of large denominated negotiable certificates of deposit.

Borrowings

At September 30, 2023, short-term borrowings totaled $23.5 billion, an increase of $63 million compared to December 31, 2022. Average short-term borrowings were $24.3 billion, or 5.1% of total funding, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $11.4 billion, or 2.4%, 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 $41.2 billion at September 30, 2023, a decrease of $2.0 billion compared to December 31, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had:

Maturities and redemptions of $4.5 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 $3.2 billion of FHLB floating rate advances as issuances in the first quarter of 2023 were more than offset by redemptions in the second and third quarters.

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 $62.0 billion at September 30, 2023, an increase of $1.5 billion from December 31, 2022. This increase includes $4.0 billion in net income and $1.4 billion received in connection with the IH minority stake sale, net of tax, partially offset by $2.4 billion in common and preferred dividends and a $2.0 billion decrease in AOCI. Truist’s book value per common share at September 30, 2023 was $41.37, compared to $40.58 at December 31, 2022. Truist TBVPS of $19.25 at September 30, 2023, increased 6.7% 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.

64 Truist Financial Corporation


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 two methods to measure and monitor its interest rate risk: (i) simulations of possible changes to net interest income based on instantaneous and gradual changes in interest rates and (ii) 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 ScenarioAnnualized Hypothetical Percentage Change in Net Interest Income

8.00 5.75 0.11 (1.77)
Down 100
7.50 5.25 0.29 (2.43)

Net interest income is liability sensitive as elevated rates and quantitative tightening have led to a reduction in deposits, rotation into interest bearing deposits, and higher deposit betas.

Interest rate scenarios in table 17 assume no change in deposit mix. Further rotation from non-interest bearing into interest bearing deposits would increase the liability sensitivity of Truist’s balance sheet.

Management considers how the interest rate risk position could be impacted by changes in balance sheet mix.

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%

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 September 30, 2023, Truist had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $379.8 billion. See “Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional disclosures. In the third quarter of 2023, there was a $125 billion decrease in notional amounts on derivatives with central clearing parties as a result of conversion from LIBOR to SOFR. The decline in notional is due to the maturity of short-term LIBOR swaps entered into in the second quarter of 2023 to maintain LIBOR cashflows until the phase out of the LIBOR reference rate on June 30th, 2023. All remaining short-term impacts of the conversion are expected to mature in the fourth quarter of 2023.

LIBOR Transition

The remaining tenors of U.S. dollar LIBOR ceased publication on June 30, 2023. Truist provided timely notices and information to impacted clients about the transition to new interest rates post cessation. Most contracts were transitioned to new rates in July and August 2023. A small number of contracts utilize longer tenor LIBOR rates and will transition by late 2023 (3-month LIBOR) or early 2024 (6-month and 12-month LIBOR) based on contractual agreements. Truist has materially completed LIBOR transition efforts, primarily utilizing SOFR replacement rates, and closed formal project efforts as of September 2023.

Fallback language used to remediate loan agreements was generally consistent with ARRC recommendations and included use of “hardwired fallback” language, which transitioned loans to a SOFR based rate after June 30, 2023. 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 transitioned to the SOFR rate specified in the LIBOR Act and the rules promulgated thereunder by the FRB and benefit from the safe harbor provisions of the LIBOR Act.

Derivatives that reference LIBOR transitioned 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. Fallback language used to remediate LIBOR based derivatives was generally consistent with ISDA publications.

The Company’s preferred securities and the Company’s and Truist Bank’s floating rate notes that reference LIBOR transitioned to a SOFR based rate utilizing application of the LIBOR Act and the rules promulgated thereunder by the FRB. Truist 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.

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 September 30, 2023, the aggregate market value of on-balance sheet securitization positions subject to the Market Risk Rule was $91 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 September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Average one and ten-day VaR measures for the three months ended September 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

Average85 65 61 69 
Minimum44 48 25 40 
Period-end119 65 119 65 

Compared to the prior year, Stressed VaR measures decreased over the nine months ended September 30 this year, 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 September 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.

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.

Truist Financial Corporation 69


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 $83.8 billion and Truist’s average LCR was 110% for the three months ended September 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 September 30, 2023, Truist was compliant with this requirement.

Sources of Funds

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

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

Total$175,435 $170,977 

At September 30, 2023, Truist Bank’s available secured borrowing capacity represented approximately 3.5 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 and, from time-to-time, potential repurchases or redemptions of a portion of an outstanding tranche of the long-term debt of the Parent Company or the Bank (as may be permitted by the terms of each respective series). 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Parent Company had 42 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.”
On August 7, 2023, Moody’s Investors Service placed the long-term ratings and certain short-term ratings of Truist and Truist Bank “under review for downgrade,” citing Truist’s comparatively low, though improving, level of capitalization, along with weaknesses in asset-liability management. The review also reflects Moody’s Investor Service view that the stability of U.S. banks’ deposit funding has declined, as reflected in the agency’s decision to lower the U.S. macro profile.
On August 11, 2023, DBRS, Inc. affirmed the ratings of Truist and Truist Bank and maintained a “stable” ratings outlook, citing Truist’s highly scaled and diversified regional banking franchise, conservative risk profile, and sound liquidity management and capital levels. In affirming the ratings, DBRS, Inc. also noted the ratings take into account the more challenging operating environment and the expectation that funding costs and asset quality metrics could worsen from current levels, providing some pressure to earnings, and that credit deterioration associated with normalization of the credit cycle would be manageable.
On August 21, 2023, S&P Global Ratings affirmed the ratings of Truist and Truist Bank and maintained a “stable” ratings outlook, citing Truist’s strong market position and diversified business model as a substantial offset to deposit and margin pressures. S&P Global Ratings viewed Truist’s capital ratios unfavorably after considering unrealized losses on securities but also wrote that Truist has the earnings capacity to build its capital ratios and support franchise growth over time.
After the end of the third quarter, on October 16, 2023, Fitch Ratings affirmed the ratings of Truist and Truist Bank and revised the ratings outlook to “negative” from “stable.” In affirming Truist’s ratings, Fitch Ratings cited the company’s diverse revenue model, solid asset quality, and expected capital build over the rating horizon; however, “negative” ratings outlook reflects the view of Fitch Ratings that Truist currently has less “headroom” to face increasing earnings pressures than similarly-rated peers.

Capital

The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on a regular basis. Truist’s principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support Truist’s risk profile consistent with the Board-approved risk appetite, provide financial flexibility to support future growth and client needs, comply with relevant laws, regulations, and supervisory guidance, achieve optimal credit ratings for Truist and its subsidiaries, remain a source of strength for its subsidiaries, and provide a competitive return to shareholders. Risk-based capital ratios, which include CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital, and Total capital are calculated based on regulatory guidance related to the measurement of capital and risk-weighted assets.

Truist regularly performs stress testing on its capital levels and is required to periodically submit the Company’s capital plans and stress testing results to the banking regulators. Management regularly monitors the capital position of Truist on both a consolidated and bank-level basis. In this regard, management’s objective is to maintain capital at levels that are in excess of internal capital 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Truist are in accordance with GAAP and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. Truist’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions, and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations, and related disclosures. 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. Understanding Truist’s accounting policies is fundamental to understanding the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. The critical accounting policies are discussed in MD&A in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” in this report. There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies during 2023.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company performs goodwill impairment analysis annually as of October 1 or more often if events or circumstances indicate that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company observed continuing declines in its financial forecasts for its CB&W and C&CB reporting units. The Company considered such declines in the context of industry related factors, including a decline in bank share prices, concluding that a triggering event had occurred for its CB&W and C&CB reporting units, and therefore Truist performed a quantitative test for these reporting units as of August 1, 2023. Truist also elected to perform a quantitative test for the IH reporting unit concurrent with the other units. The quantitative impairment test estimates the fair value of the reporting units using the income approach (weighted 50%) and two market based approaches: the guideline public company (weighted 30%) and guideline transaction (weighted 20%) methods. The income approach utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis. The guideline public company approach utilizes comparable public company information, key valuation multiples, and considers a market control premium associated with cost synergies and other cash flow benefits that arise from obtaining control over a reporting unit, and guideline transactions, when applicable. The guideline transaction method uses market observable transaction multiples for non-regulatory assisted transactions occurring within the past 12 months, which inherently incorporate a premium associated with the benefits of obtaining control.

The inputs and assumptions specific to each reporting unit are incorporated in the valuations, including projections of future cash flows, discount rates, applicable valuation multiples based on the comparable public company information, and guideline transaction information. Truist also assesses the reasonableness of the aggregate estimated fair value of the reporting units by comparison to its market capitalization over a reasonable period of time, including consideration of expected acquirer expense synergies, historic bank control premiums, and the current market.

Multi-year financial forecasts are developed for each reporting unit by considering several inputs and assumptions such as net interest margin, expected credit losses, noninterest income, noninterest expense, and required capital. The projection of net interest margin and noninterest expense are the most significant inputs to the financial projections of the CB&W and C&CB reporting units. The long-term growth rate used in determining the terminal value of each reporting unit was 3% as of August 1, 2023, based on management’s assessment of the minimum expected terminal growth rate of each reporting unit. Discount rates are estimated based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which considers the risk-free interest rate, market risk premium, beta, and unsystematic risk adjustments specific to a particular reporting unit. The discount rates are also calibrated based on risks related to the projected cash flows of each reporting unit. The discount rates utilized for the CB&W, C&CB, and IH reporting units as of August 1, 2023 were 12.5%, 11.5%, and 10.0%, respectively.

Based on the Company’s interim impairment test of goodwill, it was determined for the CB&W, C&CB, and IH reporting units that the respective reporting units’ fair value was in excess of its respective carrying value as of August 1, 2023; however, for the CB&W and C&CB reporting units the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%, indicating that the goodwill of these reporting units may be at risk of impairment. Circumstances that could negatively impact the fair value for the CB&W and C&CB reporting units in the future include sustained decrease in Truist stock price, continued decline in industry peer multiples, an increase in the applicable discount rate and further deterioration in the reporting units’ forecasts.

The estimated fair value of a reporting unit is highly sensitive to changes in management’s estimates and assumptions; therefore, in some instances, changes in these assumptions could impact whether the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying value. The Company performs sensitivity analyses around these assumptions in order to assess the reasonableness of the assumptions, and the resulting estimated fair values. The analysis of the CB&W and C&CB reporting unit at August 1, 2023, indicated that if the discount rates were increased 120 basis points and 100 basis points, respectively, the reporting unit’s fair value would be less than its carrying value, resulting in goodwill impairment. Ultimately, future potential changes in these assumptions may impact the estimated fair value of a reporting unit and cause the fair value of the reporting unit to be below its carrying value. Additionally, a reporting unit’s carrying value could change based on market conditions, change in the underlying makeup of the reporting unit, or the risk profile of those reporting units, which could impact whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than carrying value.

The Company monitored events and circumstances during the period from August 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023, including macroeconomic and market factors, industry and banking sector events, Truist specific performance indicators, a comparison of management’s forecast and assumptions to those used in its August 1, 2023 quantitative impairment test, and the sensitivity of the August 1, 2023 quantitative test results to changes in assumptions through September 30, 2023. Based on these considerations, management 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 September 30, 2023.
