NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of operations

WAL provides a full spectrum of customized loan, deposit, and treasury management capabilities, including 24/7 funds transfer and other digital payment offerings through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, WAB.
WAB operates the following full-service banking divisions: ABA, BON, FIB, Bridge, and TPB. The Company also serves business customers through a national platform of specialized financial services, including mortgage banking services through AmeriHome, and digital payment services for the class action legal industry through DST. In addition, the Company has the following non-bank subsidiaries: CSI, a captive insurance company formed and licensed under the laws of the State of Arizona and established as part of the Company's overall enterprise risk management strategy, and WATC, which provides corporate trust services and levered loan administration solutions.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for each respective period presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other quarter or for the full year.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method
In March 2023, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2023-02, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). The amendments in this update permit entities to elect to account for tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Previously this option was only permitted for LIHTC investments. Additionally, the amendments in this update require that all tax equity investments accounted for using the proportional amortization method apply the delayed equity contribution guidance in Subtopic 323-740 and disclosure of the nature of an entity's tax equity investments and their effect on an entity's financial position and results of operations.
The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years and are applied on a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently adopted accounting guidance
Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures
In March 2022, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in this update eliminate the accounting guidance and related disclosures for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and requiring an entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost.
The Company adopted this accounting guidance prospectively on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management's estimates and judgments are ongoing and are based on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions used in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. Material estimates that are susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to: 1) the determination of the ACL; 2) certain assets and liabilities carried at fair value; and 3) accounting for income taxes.
Principles of consolidation
As of June 30, 2023, WAL has the following significant wholly-owned subsidiaries: WAB and eight unconsolidated subsidiaries used as business trusts in connection with the issuance of trust-preferred securities.
WAB has the following significant wholly-owned subsidiaries: 1) WABT, which holds certain investment securities, municipal and nonprofit loans, and leases; 2) WA PWI, which holds interests in certain limited partnerships invested primarily in low income housing tax credits and small business investment corporations; 3) Helios Prime, which holds interests in certain limited partnerships invested in renewable energy projects; 4) BW Real Estate, Inc., which operates as a real estate investment trust and holds certain of WAB's real estate loans and related securities; and 5) Western Finance Company, which purchases and originates equipment finance leases and provides mortgage banking services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, AmeriHome.
The Company does not have any other significant entities that should be consolidated. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Consolidated Income Statements for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.
Goodwill and other intangible assets
The Company evaluated whether the continued effects from the March 2023 bank failures may give rise to a triggering event and elected to perform a Step 0 goodwill impairment assessment, which included analyzing qualitative factors applicable to the Company, the financial performance of the Company, and valuation metrics of publicly traded companies comparable to the Company and its reporting units. As of June 30, 2023, the Company does not believe that these events or circumstances have significantly altered the long-term financial performance of the Company. Accordingly, it was determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company and its reporting units exceeds their respective carrying values as of June 30, 2023. The Company's goodwill totaled $527 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, with $290 million and $237 million allocated to the Commercial and Consumer Related segments, respectively.

The total number of AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2023 was 797, compared to 832 at December 31, 2022.
On a quarterly basis, the Company performs an impairment analysis on its AFS debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position at the end of the period to determine whether credit losses should be recognized on these securities.
Qualitative considerations made by the Company in its impairment analysis are further discussed below.
Government Issued Securities
Commercial and residential MBS are issued by either government agencies or GSEs. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and are highly rated by major rating agencies. Further, principal and interest payments on these securities continue to be made on a timely basis.
14

Table of Contents
Non-Government Issued Securities
Qualitative factors used in the Company's credit loss assessment of its securities that are not issued and guaranteed by the U.S. government include consideration of any adverse conditions related to a specific security, industry, or geographic region of its securities, any credit ratings below investment grade, the payment structure of the security and the likelihood of the issuer to be able to make payments that increase in the future, and failure of the issuer to make any scheduled principal or interest payments.
For the Company's corporate debt and tax-exempt securities, the Company also considers various metrics of the issuer including days of cash on hand, the ratio of long-term debt to total assets, the net change in cash between reporting periods, and consideration of any breach in covenant requirements. The Company's corporate debt securities are primarily investment grade, issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and the unrealized losses on these security portfolios primarily relate to changes in interest rates and other market conditions that are not considered to be credit-related issues. The Company continues to receive timely principal and interest payments on its tax-exempt securities and the majority of these issuers have revenues pledged for payment of debt service prior to payment of other types of expenses.
In consideration of the continued effects from the March 2023 bank failures, the Company performed a targeted impairment analysis on its AFS debt securities issued by regional banks held in its corporate debt securities portfolio. The Company considered the issuers' credit ratings, probability of default, and other factors. As a result of the analysis, a $2.2 million and $21.5 million provision for credit losses was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included recognition of a $17.1 million charge-off for one debt security issued by a regional bank that was sold. The Company does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the remainder of these regional bank debt securities prior to their anticipated recovery, therefore, no credit losses on the Company's remaining AFS securities portfolio have been recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
For the Company's private label residential MBS, which consist of non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations that are secured by pools of residential mortgage loans, the Company also considers metrics such as securitization risk weight factor, current credit support, whether there were any mortgage principal losses resulting from defaults in payments on the underlying mortgage collateral, and the credit default rate over the last twelve months. These securities primarily carry investment grade credit ratings, principal and interest payments on these securities continue to be made on a timely basis, and credit support for these securities is considered adequate.
The Company's CLO portfolio consists of highly rated securitization tranches, containing pools of medium to large-sized corporate, high yield loans. These are variable rate securities that have an investment grade rating of Single-A or better. Unrealized losses on these securities are primarily a function of the differential from the offer price and the valuation mid-market price as well as changes in interest rates.
Unrealized losses on the Company's other securities portfolio relate to taxable municipal and trust preferred securities. The Company is continuing to receive timely principal and interest payments on its taxable municipal securities, these securities continue to be highly rated and the number of days of cash on hand is strong. The Company's trust preferred securities are investment grade and the issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments.

3. LOANS HELD FOR SALE
The Company purchases and originates residential mortgage loans to be sold or securitized through its AmeriHome mortgage banking business channel. In addition, as of March 31, 2023, the Company transferred $5.9 billion of loans (primarily commercial and industrial loans) to HFS. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company successfully completed loan dispositions from this transferred loan pool totaling $3.5 billion and transferred a net $0.7 billion of HFS loans back to HFI at the end of the period as a result of a change in management's intentions. As of June 30, 2023, $1.8 billion of these loans remain classified as HFS.

(1)    EBO loans are delinquent FHA, VA, or USDA loans repurchased under the terms of the GNMA MBS program that can be repooled or resold when loans are brought current either through the borrower's reperformance or through completion of a loan modification.
If management’s intent or ability to hold loans for investment has changed, such loans will be transferred to HFS. Loans transferred from HFI to HFS are transferred at the lower of its amortized cost basis (adjusted for any charge-offs) or fair value. If the amortized cost basis of the transferred loan exceeds its fair value, a valuation allowance equal to the difference in these amounts will be established on the transfer date and any subsequent changes in the valuation allowance will be recognized in earnings. Any ACL previously recorded on transferred loans is reversed and recognized in earnings at the time of the transfer.

Restructurings for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The Company adopted the amendments in ASU 2022-02, which eliminated accounting guidance on TDR loans for creditors and requires enhanced disclosures for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were made on or after January 1, 2023. See “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of these Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements for further discussion of the amendments in this update.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans HFI that were modified during the period by loan portfolio segment:

The performance of these modified loans is monitored for 12 months following the modification. As of June 30, 2023, modified loans on nonaccrual status totaled $35 million and the remaining $55 million were current with contractual payments.

Table of Contents
In the normal course of business, the Company also modifies EBO loans, which are delinquent FHA, VA, or USDA insured or guaranteed loans repurchased under the terms of the GNMA MBS program and can be repooled or resold when loans are brought current. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company completed modifications of EBO loans with an amortized cost of $35 million and $92 million, respectively. These modifications were largely payment delays and term extensions, or both.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company accounted for a modification to the contractual terms of a loan that resulted in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a TDR. The loan terms that were modified or restructured due to a borrower’s financial situation included, but were not limited to, a reduction in the stated interest rate, an extension of the maturity or renewal of the loan at an interest rate below current market, a reduction in the face amount of the debt, a reduction in the accrued interest, or deferral of interest payments. The majority of the Company's modifications were extensions in terms or deferral of payments which resulted in no lost principal or interest. Consistent with regulatory guidance, a TDR loan that was subsequently modified in another restructuring agreement but had shown sustained performance and classification as a TDR, was removed from TDR status provided that the modified terms were market-based at the time of modification.
The following table presents TDR loans by loan portfolio segment:
December 31, 2022

Hotel franchise finance10

Total$14 
As of December 31, 2022, the ACL on TDR loans totaled $4 million and there were no outstanding commitments on TDR loans.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had no new TDR loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had one new TDR loan with a recorded investment of $4 million. No principal amounts were forgiven and there were no waived fees or other expenses resulting from this TDR.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no loans for which there was a payment default within 12 months following the modification.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL consists of the ACL on funded loans HFI and an ACL on unfunded loan commitments. The ACL on HTM securities is estimated separately from loans, see "Note 2. Investment Securities" of these Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Management considers the level of ACL to be a reasonable and supportable estimate of expected credit losses inherent within the Company's HFI loan portfolio as of June 30, 2023.
The below tables reflect the activity in the ACL on loans HFI by loan portfolio segment, which includes an estimate of future recoveries:

Changes in the fair value of MSRs are recorded as Net loan servicing revenue in the Consolidated Income Statement. Due to the regulatory capital impact of MSRs on capital ratios, the Company sells certain MSRs and related servicing advances in the normal course of business. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, MSR sales had an aggregate net sales price of $150 million and the UPB of loans underlying these sales totaled $8.8 billion. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, MSR sales had an aggregate net sales price of $501 million and the UPB of loans underlying these sales totaled $28.3 billion. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold MSRs for an aggregate net sales price of $350 million and the UPB of the loans underlying these sales totaled $24.1 billion. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a remaining receivable balance of $74 million and $39 million, respectively, related to holdbacks on MSR sales for servicing transfers, which were recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company receives loan servicing fees, net of subservicing costs, based on the UPB of the underlying loans. Loan servicing fees are collected from payments made by borrowers. The Company may receive other remuneration from rights to various borrower contracted fees, such as late charges, collateral reconveyance charges, and non-sufficient funds fees. Contractually specified servicing fees, late fees, and ancillary income associated with the Company's MSR portfolio totaled $54.0 million and $116.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $48.9 million and $91.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which are recorded as Net loan servicing revenue in the Consolidated Income Statement.
In accordance with its contractual loan servicing obligations, the Company is required to advance funds to or on behalf of investors when borrowers do not make payments. The Company advances property taxes and insurance premiums for borrowers who have insufficient funds in escrow accounts, plus any other costs to preserve real estate properties. The Company may also advance funds to maintain, repair, and market foreclosed real estate properties. The Company is entitled to recover all or a portion of the advances from borrowers of reinstated and performing loans, from the proceeds of liquidated properties or from the government agency or GSE guarantor of charged-off loans. Servicing advances are charged-off when they are deemed to be uncollectible. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, net servicing advances totaled $77 million and $102 million, respectively, which are recorded as Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Sensitivities are hypothetical changes in fair value and cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of changes in assumptions to changes in fair value may not be linear. In addition, the offsetting effect of hedging activities are not contemplated in these results and further, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption is calculated without changing any other assumptions, whereas a change in one factor may result in changes to another. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that actual results would be consistent with the results of these estimates. As a result, actual future changes in MSR values may differ significantly from those reported.

WAB is a participant in the IntraFi Network, a network that offers deposit placement services such as CDARS and ICS, and other reciprocal deposit networks which offer products that qualify large deposits for FDIC insurance. At June 30, 2023, the Company had $11.4 billion of reciprocal deposits, compared to $2.8 billion at December 31, 2022.
Brokered deposits provide an additional source of deposits and are placed with the Bank through third-party brokers. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company reported wholesale brokered deposits of $18.3 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, $11.4 billion of reciprocal deposits were included as brokered deposits. Although classified as brokered deposits, due to the reciprocal nature of these deposits, the Company believes that these deposits carry a lower risk of withdrawal and deposit volatility. To improve depositor stability, the Company undertook an initiative to encourage its depositors to move their accounts into reciprocal deposit structures. This significantly increased the Company's insured deposit ratio from 45% at December 31, 2022 to 77% at June 30, 2023.
In addition, deposits for which the Company provides account holders with earnings credits or referral fees totaled $14.9 billion and $12.9 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company incurred $87.8 million and $17.3 million in deposit related costs on these deposits during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred $173.4 million and $26.0 million in deposit related costs on these deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These costs are reported as Deposit costs in non-interest expense. The increase in these costs from the prior year is due to an increase in average earnings credit rates as well as an increase in average deposit balances eligible for earnings credits or referral fees.

Federal Funds Lines of Credit
The Company maintains overnight federal fund lines of credit totaling $175 million as of June 30, 2023, which have rates comparable to the federal funds effective rate plus 0.10% to 0.20%.
FHLB and FRB Advances
The Company also maintains secured overnight lines of credit with the FHLB and the FRB. The Company’s borrowing capacity is determined based on collateral pledged, generally consisting of investment securities and loans, at the time of the borrowing. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had additional available credit with the FHLB of approximately $6.2 billion and $6.8 billion respectively.

The FRB established the BTFP in March 2023, which offers loans of up to one year in length to banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other eligible depository institutions pledging U.S. Treasuries, agency debt and mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral valued at par. The rate for BTFP advances is the one-year overnight index swap rate plus 10 basis points and is fixed for the term of the advance. The weighted average rate on BTFP advances was 4.76% as of June 30, 2023. The Company had additional available credit of $34 million under the BTFP as of June 30, 2023. Other available credit with the FRB totaled $16.0 billion and $5.2 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Warehouse Borrowings
Warehouse borrowing lines of credit are used to finance the acquisition of loans through the use of repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements operate as financings under which the Company transfers loans to secure these borrowings. The borrowing amounts are based on the attributes of the collateralized loans and are defined in the repurchase agreement of each warehouse lender. The Company retains beneficial ownership of the transferred loans and will receive the loans from the lender upon full repayment of the borrowing. The repurchase agreements may require the Company to transfer additional assets to the lender in the event the estimated fair value of the existing transferred loans declines.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had access to approximately $2.8 billion in uncommitted warehouse funding, of which $55 million was drawn at a weighted average borrowing rate of 6.92%. There were no warehouse borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2022.

Long-Term Borrowings
AmeriHome Senior Notes
Prior to the Company's acquisition of AmeriHome, in October 2020, AmeriHome issued senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $300 million, maturing on October 26, 2028. The senior notes accrue interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum, paid semiannually. The senior notes contain provisions that allow for redemption of up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes during the first three years after issuance at a price equal to 106.50%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. After this three-year period, AmeriHome may redeem some or all of the senior notes at a price equal to 103.25% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In 2025, the redemption price of these senior notes declines to 100% of the outstanding principal balance. The carrying amount of the senior notes includes a fair value adjustment (premium) of $19 million recognized as of the acquisition date that is being amortized over the term of the notes.
Credit Linked Notes
The Company entered into credit linked note transactions that effectively transferred the risk of first losses on certain pools of the Company’s warehouse and equity fund resource loans to the purchasers of these notes. In the event of a failure to pay by the relevant obligor, insolvency of the relevant obligor, or restructuring of such loans that results in a loss on a loan that is included in any of the reference pools, the principal balance of the notes will be reduced to the extent of such loss and a gain on recovery of credit guarantees will be recognized within non-interest income in the Consolidated Income Statement. The purchasers of the notes have the option to acquire the underlying reference loan in the event of obligor default. There have been no historical losses on the warehouse lines of credit and equity fund resource loans.
The Company also entered into credit linked note transactions that effectively transfer the risk of first losses on reference pools of the Company's loans purchased under its residential mortgage purchase program to the purchasers of the notes. The principal and interest payable on these notes may be reduced by a portion of the Company's loss on such loans if one of the following occurs with respect to a covered loan: (i) realized losses incurred by the Company on a loan following a liquidation of the loan or certain other events, or (ii) a modification of the loan resulting in a reduction in payments. The aggregate losses, if any, for each payment date will be allocated to reduce the class principal amount and (for modifications) the current interest of the notes in reverse order of class priority. Losses on residential mortgages have not generally been significant.

Table of Contents
Junior Subordinated Debt
The Company has formed or acquired through acquisition eight statutory business trusts, which exist for the exclusive purpose of issuing Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities.
With the exception of debt issued by Bridge Capital Trust I and Bridge Capital Trust II, junior subordinated debt is recorded at fair value at each reporting date due to the FVO election made by the Company under ASC 825. The Company did not make the FVO election for the junior subordinated debt acquired in the Bridge acquisition. Accordingly, the carrying value of these trusts does not reflect the current fair value of the debt and includes a fair market value adjustment established at acquisition that is being accreted over the remaining life of the trusts.
The carrying value of junior subordinated debt was $71 million and $76 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, with maturity dates ranging from 2033 through 2037. The weighted average interest rate of all junior subordinated debt as of June 30, 2023 was 7.88%, which is equal to three-month LIBOR plus the contractual spread of 2.34%, compared to a weighted average interest rate of 7.11% at December 31, 2022. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, interest rates on the Company's junior subordinated debt will be based on SOFR plus a spread adjustment.
In the event of certain changes or amendments to regulatory requirements or federal tax rules, the debt is redeemable in whole. The obligations under these instruments are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all other liabilities of the Company. Based on guidance issued by the FRB, the Company's securities continue to qualify as Tier 1 Capital.
9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Stock-Based Compensation
Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards granted to employees generally vest over a 3-year period and stock grants made to non-employee WAL directors generally vest over six months. The Company estimates the compensation cost for stock grants based upon the grant date fair value. Stock compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The aggregate grant date fair value for the restricted stock awards granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.7 million and $45.2 million, respectively. Stock compensation expense related to restricted stock awards granted to employees is included in Salaries and employee benefits in the Consolidated Income Statement. For restricted stock awards granted to WAL directors, the related stock compensation expense is included in Legal, professional, and directors' fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $9.1 million and $17.6 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense related to employee and WAL director stock grants, compared to $7.6 million and $14.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Performance Stock Units
The Company grants performance stock units to members of its executive management that do not vest unless the Company achieves a specified cumulative EPS target and a TSR performance measure over a three-year performance period. The number of shares issued will vary based on the cumulative EPS target and relative TSR performance factor that is achieved. The Company estimates the cost of performance stock units based upon the grant date fair value and expected vesting percentage over the three-year performance period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million and a net reversal of stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million on unvested performance stock units due to revised performance expectations, compared to $3.4 million and $6.2 million in stock-based compensation expense for such units during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
The three-year performance period for the 2020 grant ended on December 31, 2022, and based on the Company's cumulative EPS and TSR performance measure for the performance period, these shares vested at 180% of the target award under the terms of the grant. As a result, 157,784 shares became fully vested and distributed to executive management in the first quarter of 2023.
The three-year performance period for the 2019 grant ended on December 31, 2021, and the Company's cumulative EPS and TSR performance measure for the performance period exceeded the level required for a maximum award under the terms of the grant. As a result, 203,646 shares became fully vested and were distributed to executive management in the first quarter of 2022.

11. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is a party to various derivative instruments. The primary types of derivatives that the Company uses are interest rate contracts, forward purchase and sale commitments, and interest rate futures. Generally, these instruments are used to help manage the Company's exposure to interest rate risk related to IRLCs and its inventory of loans HFS and MSRs and also to meet client financing and hedging needs.
Derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, after taking into account the effects of bilateral collateral and master netting agreements. These agreements allow the Company to settle all derivative contracts held with the same counterparty on a net basis, and to offset net derivative positions with related cash collateral, where applicable.
Derivatives Designated in Hedge Relationships
The Company utilizes derivatives that have been designated as part of a hedge relationship in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance to minimize the exposure to changes in benchmark interest rates and volatility of net interest income and EVE to interest rate fluctuations. The primary derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risk are interest rate swaps, which convert the contractual interest rate index of agreed-upon amounts of assets and liabilities (i.e., notional amounts) from either a fixed rate to a variable rate, or from a variable rate to a fixed rate.
The Company has pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of certain fixed rate loans. As a result, the Company receives variable-rate interest payments in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the lives of the contracts without exchanging the notional amounts. The variable-rate interest payments are based on LIBOR and converted to SOFR plus a spread adjustment upon the discontinuation of LIBOR in June 2023.
The Company also has pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps, designated as fair value hedges using the portfolio layer method to manage the exposure to changes in fair value associated with fixed rate loans, resulting from changes in the designated benchmark interest rate (federal funds rate). These portfolio layer hedges provide the Company the ability to execute a fair value hedge of the interest rate risk associated with a portfolio of similar prepayable assets. Under these interest rate swap contracts, the Company receives a variable rate based on SOFR and pays a fixed rate on the outstanding notional amount.
The Company also had pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps, designated as fair value hedges using the last-of-layer method. Upon termination of these last-of-layer hedges in 2022, the cumulative basis adjustment on these hedges was allocated across the remaining loan pool and is being amortized over the remaining term. At June 30, 2023, the remaining cumulative basis adjustment on the terminated last-of-layer hedges totaled $15 million.
Derivatives Not Designated in Hedge Relationships
Management enters into certain foreign exchange derivative contracts, back-to-back interest rate contracts, and risk participation agreements which are not designated as accounting hedges. Foreign exchange derivative contracts include spot, forward, forward window, and swap contracts. The purpose of these derivative contracts is to mitigate foreign currency risk on transactions entered into, or on behalf of customers. Contracts with customers, along with the related derivative trades that the Company places, are both remeasured at fair value, and are referred to as economic hedges since they economically offset the Company's exposure. The Company's back-to-back interest rate contracts are used to allow customers to manage long-term interest rate risk. Risk participation agreements are entered into with lead banks in certain loan syndications to share in the risk of default on interest rate swaps on the participated loan.
The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk within its mortgage banking business related to IRLCs and its inventory of loans HFS and MSRs. The Company economically hedges the changes in fair value associated with changes in interest rates generally by utilizing forward sale commitments, interest rate futures and interest rate swaps.

For the Company's derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current period earnings. The loss or gain on the hedged item is recognized in the same line item as the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest rate swaps. For loans, the gain or loss on the hedged item is included in interest income, as shown in the table below.

Fair Values, Volume of Activity, and Gain/Loss Information Related to Derivative Instruments
The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments on a gross basis as of June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022. The change in the notional amounts of these derivatives from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023 indicates the volume of the Company's derivative transaction activity during these periods. The derivative asset and liability balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of bilateral collateral and master netting agreements. Total derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted to take into account the impact of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Company to settle all derivative contracts with the same counterparty on a net basis and to offset the net derivative position with the related cash collateral. Where master netting agreements are not in effect or are not enforceable under bankruptcy laws, the Company does not adjust those derivative amounts with counterparties.

(2)The Company enters into forward purchase and sales contracts that are subject to daily remargining and almost all of which are based on three-month SOFR to hedge against its MSR valuation exposure. The notional amount on these contracts is substantial as these contracts have a duration of only 0.25 years and are intended to cover the longer duration of MSR hedges.
(3)The notional amounts previously reported for December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 have been adjusted in the current period to account for the impact of offsetting contracts. To close a futures contract prior to settlement, the Company purchases an offsetting future with the same terms as the original contract and these contracts no longer require settlement.

Counterparty Credit Risk
Like other financial instruments, derivatives contain an element of credit risk. This risk is measured as the expected replacement value of the contracts. Management enters into bilateral collateral and master netting agreements that provide for the net settlement of all contracts with the same counterparty. Additionally, management monitors counterparty credit risk exposure on each contract to determine appropriate limits on the Company's total credit exposure across all product types, which may require the Company to post collateral to counterparties when these contracts are in a net liability position and conversely, for counterparties to post collateral to the Company when these contracts are in a net asset position. Management reviews the Company's collateral positions on a daily basis and exchanges collateral with counterparties in accordance with standard ISDA documentation and other related agreements. The Company generally posts or holds collateral in the form of cash deposits or highly rated securities issued by the U.S. Treasury or government-sponsored enterprises (FNMA, and FHLMC), or guaranteed by GNMA. At June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022 collateral pledged by the Company to counterparties for its derivatives totaled $90 million, $11 million, and $30 million, respectively.

13. INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate was 17.1% and 19.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company's effective tax rate was 19.5%. The decrease in the three-month effective tax rate was primarily due to increases in expected LIHTC benefits during 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, the net DTA balance totaled $315 million. There was not a significant change in the net deferred tax asset of $311 million at December 31, 2022 as decreases to MSR DTLs were offset by increases in the fair market value of AFS securities and decreases to the accrued bonus DTA.
Although realization is not assured, the Company believes that the realization of the recognized deferred tax asset of $315 million at June 30, 2023 is more-likely-than-not based on expectations as to future taxable income and based on available tax planning strategies that could be implemented if necessary to prevent a carryover from expiring.
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no deferred tax valuation allowance.
LIHTC and renewable energy projects
The Company holds ownership interests in limited partnerships and limited liability companies that invest in affordable housing and renewable energy projects. These investments are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits and deductions. The limited liability entities are considered to be VIEs; however, as a limited partner, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and is not required to consolidate these entities.
Investments in LIHTC and renewable energy totaled $596 million and $624 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Unfunded LIHTC and renewable energy obligations are included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and totaled $338 million and $398 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, $27.7 million and $15.4 million, respectively, of amortization related to LIHTC investments was recognized as a component of income tax expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, $39.0 million and $28.8 million, respectively, of amortization related to LIHTC investments was recognized as a component of income tax expense.
14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Unfunded Commitments and Letters of Credit
The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Lines of credit are obligations to lend money to a borrower. Credit risk arises when the borrower's current financial condition may indicate less ability to pay than when the commitment was originally made. In the case of letters of credit, the risk arises from the potential failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of a contract. In such a situation, the third party might draw on the letter of credit to pay for completion of the contract and the Company would look to its customer to repay these funds with interest. To minimize the risk, the Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it would for a loan to that customer.
Letters of credit and financial guarantees are commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party in borrowing arrangements. The Company generally has recourse to recover from the customer any amounts paid under the guarantees. Typically, letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year.
A summary of the contractual amounts for unfunded commitments and letters of credit are as follows: 
 June 30, 2023December 31, 2022
 (in millions)
Commitments to extend credit, including unsecured loan commitments of $1,168 at June 30, 2023 and $1,209 at December 31, 2022

Table of Contents
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided that there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company enters into credit arrangements that generally provide for the termination of advances in the event of a covenant violation or other event of default. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. The commitments are collateralized by the same types of assets used as loan collateral.
The Company has exposure to credit losses from unfunded commitments and letters of credit. As funds have not been disbursed on these commitments, they are not reported as loans outstanding. Credit losses related to these commitments are included in Other liabilities as a separate loss contingency and are not included in the ACL reported in "Note 4. Loans, Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses" of these Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. This loss contingency for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit was $41 million and $47 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Changes to this liability are adjusted through the provision for credit losses in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Commitments to Invest in Renewable Energy Projects
The Company has off-balance sheet commitments to invest in renewable energy projects, as described in "Note 13. Income Taxes" of these Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, subject to the underlying project meeting certain milestones. These conditional commitments totaled $104 million and $117 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Concentrations of Lending Activities
The Company monitors concentrations of lending activities at the product and borrower relationship level. No borrower relationships at both the commitment and funded loan level exceeded 5% of total loans HFI as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company does not have a single external customer from which it derives 10% or more of its revenues. Commercial and industrial loans made up 35% and 40% of total HFI loans as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company's loan portfolio also includes credit exposure to the CRE market. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, CRE-non-owner occupied loans accounted for approximately 21% and 18% of total loans HFI, respectively. In addition, approximately $2.3 billion, or 4.8%, of total loans HFI consisted of CRE-non-owner occupied office loans as of June 30, 2023, compared to $2.4 billion, or 4.6%, as of December 31, 2022. These office loans primarily consist of shorter-term bridge loans that enable borrowers to reposition or redevelop projects, with the vast majority located in suburban locations. Construction and land loans were 9% and 8% of total loans HFI as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Contingencies
The Company is involved in various lawsuits of a routine nature that are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Expenses are being incurred in connection with these lawsuits, but in the opinion of management, based in part on consultation with outside legal counsel, the resolution of these lawsuits and associated defense costs will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Lease Commitments
The Company has operating leases under which it leases its branch offices, corporate headquarters, other offices, and data facility centers. Operating lease costs totaled $7.1 million and $14.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $6.2 million and $12.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Other lease costs, which include common area maintenance, parking, and taxes, and were included as occupancy expense, totaled $1.2 million and $2.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.0 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

15. FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach, and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally-developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. A more detailed description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value is set forth below.
Under ASC 825, the Company elected the FVO treatment for junior subordinated debt issued by WAL. This election is irrevocable and results in the recognition of unrealized gains and losses on the debt at each reporting date. These unrealized gains and losses are recognized in OCI rather than earnings. The Company did not elect FVO treatment for the junior subordinated debt assumed in the Bridge Capital Holdings acquisition.

Fair value on a recurring basis
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:
AFS debt securities: Securities classified as AFS are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include quoted prices in active markets, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.
Equity securities: Preferred and common stock and CRA investments are reported at fair value primarily utilizing Level 1 inputs.
Independent pricing service: The Company's independent pricing service provides pricing information on the majority of the Company's Level 1 and Level 2 AFS debt securities. For a small subset of securities, other pricing sources are used, including observed prices on publicly-traded securities and dealer quotes. Management independently evaluates the fair value measurements received from the Company's third-party pricing service through multiple review steps. First, management reviews what has transpired in the marketplace with respect to interest rates, credit spreads, volatility, and mortgage rates, among other things, and develops an expectation of changes to the securities' valuations from the previous quarter. Then, management selects a sample of investment securities and compares the values provided by its primary third-party pricing service to the market values obtained from secondary sources, including other pricing services and safekeeping statements, and evaluates those with notable variances. In instances where there are discrepancies in pricing from various sources and management expectations, management may manually price securities using currently observed market data to determine whether they can develop similar prices or may utilize bid information from broker dealers. Any remaining discrepancies

between management’s review and the prices provided by the vendor are discussed with the vendor and/or the Company’s other valuation advisors.
Loans HFS: Government-insured or guaranteed and agency-conforming loans HFS are salable into active markets. Accordingly, the fair value of these loans is based on quoted market or contracted selling prices or a market price equivalent, which are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage servicing rights: MSRs are measured based on valuation techniques using Level 3 inputs. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model that incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating the fair value of servicing rights, including, but not limited to, option adjusted spread, conditional prepayment rate, servicing fee rate, recapture rate, and cost to service.
Derivative financial instruments: Forward purchase and sales contracts are measured based on valuation techniques using Level 2 inputs, such as quoted market prices, contracted selling prices, or a market price equivalent. Interest rate and foreign currency contracts are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains dealer quotations to value its interest rate contracts. IRLCs are measured based on valuation techniques that consider loan type, underlying loan amount, maturity date, note rate, loan program, and expected settlement date, with Level 3 inputs for the servicing release premium and pull-through rate. These measurements are adjusted at the loan level to consider the servicing release premium and loan pricing adjustment specific to each loan. The base value is then adjusted for the pull-through rate. The pull-through rate and servicing fee multiple are unobservable inputs based on historical experience.
Junior subordinated debt: The Company estimates the fair value of its junior subordinated debt using a discounted cash flow model which incorporates the effect of the Company’s own credit risk in the fair value of the liabilities (Level 3). The Company’s cash flow assumptions are based on contractual cash flows as the Company anticipates that it will pay the debt according to its contractual terms.
The fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis was determined using the following inputs:

Fair value on a nonrecurring basis
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. That is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of credit deterioration). The following table presents such assets carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet by caption and by level within the ASC 825 hierarchy:

Table of Contents
Loans HFI: Loans measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include collateral dependent loans. The specific reserves for these loans are based on collateral value, net of estimated disposition costs and other identified quantitative inputs. Collateral value is determined based on independent third-party appraisals or internally-developed discounted cash flow analyses. Appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, including comparable sales and the income approach. Fair value is determined, where possible, using market prices derived from an appraisal or evaluation, which are considered to be Level 2. However, certain assumptions and unobservable inputs are often used by the appraiser, therefore qualifying the assets as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In addition, when adjustments are made to an appraised value to reflect various factors such as the age of the appraisal or known changes in the market or the collateral, such valuation inputs are considered unobservable and the fair value measurement is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. Internal discounted cash flow analyses are also utilized to estimate the fair value of these loans, which considers internally-developed, unobservable inputs such as discount rates, default rates, and loss severity.
Total Level 3 collateral dependent loans had an estimated fair value of $368 million and $295 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, net of a specific ACL of $9 million and $7 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Other assets acquired through foreclosure: Other assets acquired through foreclosure consist of properties acquired as a result of, or in-lieu-of, foreclosure. These assets are initially reported at the fair value determined by independent appraisals using appraised value less estimated cost to sell. Such properties are generally re-appraised every 12 months. Costs relating to the development or improvement of the assets are capitalized and costs relating to holding the assets are charged to expense.
Fair value is determined, where possible, using market prices derived from an appraisal or evaluation, which are considered to be Level 2. However, certain assumptions and unobservable inputs are often used by the appraiser, therefore qualifying the assets as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. When significant adjustments are based on unobservable inputs, such as when a current appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the resulting fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement. The Company had $11 million of such assets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Interest rate risk
The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk to the Company’s earnings and capital from changes in interest rate levels) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, as well as its future net interest income, will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company.
Interest rate risk exposure is measured using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine the Company's change in EVE and net interest income resulting from hypothetical changes in interest rates. If potential changes to EVE and net interest income resulting from hypothetical interest rate changes are not within the limits established by the BOD, the BOD may direct management to adjust the asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk within BOD-approved limits.
WAB has an ALCO charged with managing interest rate risk within the BOD-approved limits. Limits are structured to preclude an interest rate risk profile that does not conform to both management and BOD risk tolerances without ALCO approval. Interest rate risk is also evaluated at the Parent level, which is reported to the BOD and its Finance and Investment Committee.
Fair value of commitments
The estimated fair value of letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 approximates zero as there have been no significant changes in borrower creditworthiness. Loan commitments on which the committed interest rates are less than the current market rate are insignificant at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

16. SEGMENTS
The Company's reportable segments are aggregated with a focus on products and services offered and consist of three reportable segments:
Commercial: provides commercial banking and treasury management products and services to small and middle-market businesses, specialized banking services to sophisticated commercial institutions and investors within niche industries, as well as financial services to the real estate industry.
Consumer Related: offers both commercial banking services to enterprises in consumer-related sectors and consumer banking services, such as residential mortgage banking.
Corporate & Other: consists of the Company's investment portfolio, Corporate borrowings and other related items, income and expense items not allocated to other reportable segments, and inter-segment eliminations.
The Company's segment reporting process begins with the assignment of all loan and deposit accounts directly to the segments where these products are originated and/or serviced. Equity capital is assigned to each segment based on the risk profile of their assets and liabilities. With the exception of goodwill, which is assigned a 100% weighting, equity capital allocations ranged from 0% to 20% during the year. Any excess or deficient equity not allocated to segments based on risk is assigned to the Corporate & Other segment.
Net interest income, provision for credit losses, and non-interest expense amounts are recorded in their respective segments to the extent that the amounts are directly attributable to those segments. Net interest income is recorded in each segment on a TEB with a corresponding increase in income tax expense, which is eliminated in the Corporate & Other segment.
Further, net interest income of a reportable segment includes a funds transfer pricing process that matches assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics. Using this funds transfer pricing methodology, liquidity is transferred between users and providers. A net user of funds has lending/investing in excess of deposits/borrowings and a net provider of funds has deposits/borrowings in excess of lending/investing. A segment that is a user of funds is charged for the use of funds, while a provider of funds is credited through funds transfer pricing, which is determined based on the average estimated life of the assets or liabilities in the portfolio. Residual funds transfer pricing mismatches are allocable to the Corporate & Other segment and presented in net interest income.
The net income amount for each reportable segment is further derived by the use of expense allocations. Certain expenses not directly attributable to a specific segment are allocated across all segments based on key metrics, such as number of employees, number of transactions processed for loans and deposits, and average loan and deposit balances. These types of expenses include information technology, operations, human resources, finance, risk management, credit administration, legal, and marketing.
Income taxes are applied to each segment based on estimated effective tax rates. Any difference in the corporate tax rate and the aggregate effective tax rates in the segments are adjusted in the Corporate & Other segment.

18. MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Acquisition of Digital Disbursements
On January 25, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of DST, doing business as Digital Disbursements, a digital payments platform for the class action legal industry. The acquisition of DST extended the Company's digital payment efforts by providing a digital payments platform for the class action market and broader legal industry.
This transaction was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Assets purchased and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective acquisition date estimated fair values, which were final as of December 31, 2022.
Total consideration of $57.0 million, comprised of cash paid at closing of $50.6 million and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $6.4 million, was exchanged for all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of DST. The terms of the acquisition include a contingent consideration arrangement that is based on performance for the three year period subsequent to the acquisition. There is no required minimum or maximum payment amount specified under the terms of the contingent consideration agreement. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach.
DST’s results of operations have been included in the Company's results beginning January 25, 2022 and are reported as part of the Consumer Related segment. Acquisition and restructure expenses of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were included as a component of non-interest expense in the Consolidated Income Statement, all of which were acquisition related costs as defined by ASC 805.
The fair value amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the DST acquisition are as follows:

Goodwill in the amount of $36.6 million was recognized, of which $31.8 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill was allocated entirely to the Consumer Related segment and represents the strategic, operational, and financial benefits expected from the acquisition, including expansion of the Company's settlement services offerings, diversification of its revenue sources, and post-acquisition synergies from integrating Digital Disbursements, as well as the value of the acquired workforce.

Recent Banking Industry and Market Developments
The bank failures that occurred in March 2023 caused significant disruption in the United States banking industry, particularly among mid-size banks, such as the Company. The closures of these banks triggered a surge in deposit outflows and stock price volatility at many mid-sized banks.
In response to these bank failures, the FRB announced the BTFP, which offers loans of up to one year in length to banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other eligible depository institutions pledging U.S. Treasuries, agency debt and mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral valued at par. Under this program, the Bank has access to $1.3 billion in borrowing capacity, of which $1.3 billion was drawn at June 30, 2023.
Additionally, the Department of the Treasury, FRB, and FDIC issued a joint statement, which stated that losses to support uninsured deposits of those failed banks would be recovered via a special assessment on banks. The FDIC has proposed an annual special assessment rate of approximately 12.5 basis points. The assessment base for the special assessments would be equal to an institution’s estimated uninsured deposits as of December 31, 2022, adjusted to exclude the first $5 billion from estimated uninsured deposits. The special assessments would be collected over an eight-quarter collection period, at a quarterly special assessment rate of 3.13 basis points, with the first quarterly assessment period beginning on January 1, 2024. The comment period for the proposal ended on July 21, 2023, with a final rule expected later this year. If adopted as proposed, the Company expects to recognize a one-time charge of $65 million.
The recent volatility in the banking industry and other recent regulatory actions have had and may continue to have a material impact on the Company's operations, as further discussed below.
Capital and liquidity
While the Company believes it has sufficient capital, funding, and access to contingent sources of liquidity, the Company has taken several actions to ensure the strength of its capital and liquidity position. These actions included disposition of selected assets, including $813 million of AFS securities and $3.5 billion of loans during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and increasing its borrowing capacity with the FRB.
The Company's deposit balances stabilized as of March 20, 2023 and from such date through June 30, 2023 deposits increased, but were down $2.6 billion from December 31, 2022. The Company also strengthened its insured deposit ratio from 45% as of December 31, 2022 to 77% as of June 30, 2023. Insured and collateralized deposits as a percentage of total deposits was 81% at June 30, 2023 and 47% at December 31, 2022.
Financial position and results of operations
The Company's financial position and results of operations as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 have been impacted by this disruption. Recent events in the banking industry contributed to the $41.2 million provision for credit losses recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023, of which $17.1 million related to a charge-off of a corporate debt security from a financial institution issuer. The Company's actions to strengthen its capital and liquidity position contributed to a $135.1 million pre-tax fair value loss adjustment primarily related to the transfer of loans to HFS, a loss of $26.1 million on sales of investment securities, and a $13.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt. The continued uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the volatility in the banking industry and related economic effects may continue to affect the Company’s estimate of its allowance for credit losses and resulting provision for credit losses. To the extent the impact of the recent banking industry volatility is prolonged and economic conditions worsen or persist longer than forecast, such estimates may be insufficient and may change significantly in the future. The Company’s net interest margin also may be negatively impacted in future periods if the Company's borrowings remain elevated. These uncertainties and the economic environment will continue to affect earnings, growth, and may result in deterioration of asset quality in the Company's loan and investment portfolios.
Depositors in the technology industry are generally considered to be the most impacted by recent events and may have greater sensitivity to the recent volatility in the banking industry with potentially longer recovery periods than other types of businesses. The Company's deposit exposure to the technology industry totaled $4.3 billion, or 8.4% of total deposits, as of June 30, 2023.
Asset valuation
Sustained declines in the Company's stock price and/or other liquidity related impacts, such as increases in deposit outflows, could give rise to triggering events in the future that could result in a write-down in the value of our goodwill, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Asset and Deposit Growth
The Company’s assets and liabilities are comprised primarily of loans and deposits. Therefore, the ability to originate new loans and attract new deposits is fundamental to the Company’s growth.
Total assets increased to $68.2 billion at June 30, 2023 from $67.7 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in total assets of $426 million, or 0.6%, was driven by an increase in borrowings, which contributed to an increase in cash of $1.1 billion as well as an increase in investment securities of $1.6 billion. Loans HFI decreased by $4.0 billion, or 7.7%, to $47.9 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to $51.9 billion as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in loans HFI from December 31, 2022 was driven by the transfer of $5.9 billion to HFS during the first quarter 2023. By loan type, commercial and industrial loans and residential real estate loans decreased $4.1 billion and $928 million, respectively, from December 31, 2022, partially offset by increases in CRE, non-owner occupied loans and construction and land development loans of $594 million and $415 million, respectively. Loans HFS increased $5.8 billion (net of fair value adjustments) as a result of this transfer and as of June 30, 2023, loans HFS were up from $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2022 as loan dispositions during the second quarter 2023 totaled $3.5 billion and as $0.7 billion was transferred back to HFI as of June 30, 2023.
Total deposits decreased $2.6 billion, or 4.9%, to $51.0 billion as of June 30, 2023 from $53.6 billion as of December 31, 2022. By type, the decrease in deposits from December 31, 2022 was driven by a decrease of $6.3 billion in savings and money market accounts and $3.0 billion in non-interest bearing demand deposits, partially offset by increases of $3.5 billion in certificates of deposit and $3.1 billion in interest bearing demand deposits.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following discussion and analysis contains financial information determined by methods other than those prescribed by GAAP. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company's performance. Management believes presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a complete understanding of the operating results of the Company. Since the presentation of these non-GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, these non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
Pre-Provision Net Revenue
Banking regulations define PPNR as the sum of net interest income and non-interest income less expenses before adjusting for loss provisions and has been further adjusted for non-operating items incurred during the periods indicated in the table below. Management believes that this is an important metric as it illustrates the underlying performance of the Company, it enables investors and others to assess the Company's ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through the credit cycle, and provides consistent reporting with a key metric used by bank regulatory agencies.

The Company's earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were impacted by significant non-operating losses that were incurred as a result of actions undertaken by the Company to reposition its balance sheet to ensure the strength of its capital and liquidity position in response to the March 2023 bank failures. The following table shows the components used in the calculation of earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2023, adjusted to exclude non-operating items, which management believes is more comparable to historical earnings trends:

Tangible Common Equity and Return on Average Tangible Common Equity
The following tables present financial measures related to tangible common equity. Tangible common equity represents total stockholders' equity reduced by goodwill and intangible assets and preferred stock. Management believes that tangible common equity financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company's capital strength, financial condition, and ability to manage potential losses.

Table of Contents
Regulatory Capital
The following table presents certain financial measures related to regulatory capital under Basel III, which includes CET1 and total capital. The FRB and other banking regulators use CET1 and total capital as a basis for assessing a bank's capital adequacy; therefore, management believes it is useful to assess financial condition and capital adequacy using this same basis. Specifically, the total capital ratio takes into consideration the risk levels of assets and off-balance sheet financial instruments. In addition, management believes that the classified assets to CET1 plus allowance measure is an important regulatory metric for assessing asset quality.
As permitted by the regulatory capital rules, the Company elected to delay the estimated impact of CECL on its regulatory capital over a five-year transition period ending December 31, 2024. Accordingly, capital ratios and amounts for 2022 include a 25% reduction to the capital benefit that resulted from the increased ACL related to the adoption of ASC 326, which has increased to include a 50% reduction beginning in 2023.

Comparison of interest income, interest expense and net interest margin
The Company's primary source of revenue is interest income. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, interest income was $1.0 billion, an increase of $421.2 million, or 72.7%, compared to $579.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily the result of a $278.5 million increase in interest income from loans HFI that was driven primarily by higher yields, an increase in interest income from loans HFS of $62.1 million driven by an increase in the average balance of $2.0 billion coupled with higher yields, and a $53.1 million increase in interest income from investment securities due to higher investment yields and an increase in the average investment balance of $1.3 billion. Interest income from cash and other also increased $27.5 million due to the higher rate environment and an increase in cash balances resulting from higher short-term borrowings.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, interest income was $2.0 billion, an increase of $905.6 million, or 85.1%, compared to $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily the result of higher rates on HFI loans coupled with a $6.7 billion increase in the average balance, which drove a $695.7 million increase in HFI loan interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023. An increase in investment yields and in the average investment balance of $1.2 billion resulted in an increase in interest income of $101.2 million, and an increase in HFS loan yields drove a $42.9 million increase in interest income.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, interest expense was $450.5 million, an increase of $395.9 million, compared to $54.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in interest expense on deposits of $224.0 million driven by increased interest rates and a $3.5 billion increase in the average interest-bearing deposit balance combined with a $171.0 million increase in interest expense on other borrowings resulting from an increase in average short-term borrowings of $9.3 billion.

Table of Contents
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, interest expense was $809.5 million, an increase of $719.9 million, compared to $89.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest expense on deposits increased $441.5 million driven by an increase in deposit rates and an increase in the average interest-bearing deposit balance of $4.9 billion coupled with an increase in the average balance of other borrowings of $8.0 billion, which drove a $276.6 million increase in interest expense.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income was $550.3 million, an increase of $25.3 million, or 4.8%, compared to $525.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net interest income was driven by the higher rate environment and reflects a $5.3 billion increase in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase of $12.8 billion in average interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in net interest margin of 12 basis points to 3.42% is largely the result of an increase in both the balances and rates of deposits and borrowings, partially offset by higher yields on HFI loans compared to the same period in 2022.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income was $1.2 billion, an increase of $185.7 million, or 19.1%, compared to $974.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net interest income was driven by the higher rate environment and reflects a $7.8 billion increase in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase of $12.9 billion in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in net interest margin of 16 basis points to 3.60% is the result of an increase in loan balances and yield, partially offset by higher rates and an increase in the balance of deposits and other borrowings compared to the same period in 2022.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses in each period is reflected as a reduction in earnings for that period and includes amounts related to funded loans, unfunded loan commitments, and investment securities. The provision is equal to the amount required to maintain the ACL at a level that is adequate to absorb estimated lifetime credit losses inherent in the loan and investment securities portfolios based on remaining contractual maturity, adjusted for estimated prepayments as of each period end. The Company's CECL models incorporate historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in measuring expected credit losses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $21.8 million and $41.2 million, respectively, compared to $27.5 million and $36.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in the provision for credit losses from the three months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily related to a decline in loan growth, offset by heightened economic uncertainty, particularly in the commercial real estate market. The increase in provision for credit losses from the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily related to the disruption in the banking industry resulting from the bank failures in March 2023, which included a $17.1 million charge-off in the Company's AFS securities portfolio on a corporate debt security from a financial institution issuer, offset by a decrease in loans HFI balances as the Company transferred $5.9 billion to HFS, net of a fair value loss adjustment of $123.5 million.

Total non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 increased $24.0 million. The increase in non-interest income from the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily driven by a net fair value gain adjustment of $12.7 million related to HFS loans, compared to a net fair value loss adjustment of $10.0 million on equity securities in the prior year as well as a net increase in mortgage banking income as net gain on loan origination and sale activities increased $35.1 million from higher spreads, partially offset by a $21.3 million decrease in net loan servicing revenue from a decline in MSR valuation gains.

Table of Contents
Total non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 decreased $140.3 million. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily driven by non-operating charges incurred during the first quarter 2023 following the execution of the Company's balance sheet repositioning strategy, which included sales of selected loans and investment securities and the transfer of $5.9 billion of loans HFI to HFS. Consequently, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized net fair value loss adjustments of $135.1 million primarily related to the transfer of loans to HFS and a net loss of $26.1 million on sales of investment securities.

Total non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $118.5 million compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily driven by an increase in deposit and insurance costs. The increase in deposit costs from the prior year relates primarily to higher average ECR rates, while the increase in insurance costs is due to elevated insured and brokered deposit levels.
Total non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $217.8 million compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in non-interest expense for this period was also primarily driven by increases in deposit and insurance costs and are due to the same factors discussed above for the three-month comparable period, with the addition that the increase in deposit costs for the six-month comparable period is also related to an increase in overall deposits throughout 2022.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate was 17.1% and 19.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company's effective tax rate was 19.5%. The decrease in the three- month effective tax rate was primarily due to increases in expected LIHTC benefits during 2023.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Total assets increased $426 million to $68.2 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $67.7 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in total assets was driven by an increase in borrowings, which contributed to an increase in cash of $1.1 billion as well as an increase in investment securities of $1.6 billion. Loans HFI decreased by $4.0 billion, or 7.7%, to $47.9 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to $51.9 billion as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in loans HFI from December 31, 2022 was driven by the transfer of $5.9 billion to HFS during the first quarter 2023. By loan type, commercial and industrial loans and residential real estate loans decreased $4.1 billion and $928 million, respectively, from December 31, 2022, partially offset by increases in CRE, non-owner occupied loans and construction and land development loans of $594 million and $415 million, respectively. Loans HFS increased $5.8 billion (net of fair value adjustments) as a result of this transfer, up from $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2022 as loan dispositions during the second quarter 2023 totaled $3.5 billion and as $0.7 billion was transferred back to HFI as of June 30, 2023 as a result of a change in management's intentions.
Total liabilities increased $97.0 million to $62.5 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $62.4 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in liabilities is due primarily to an increase in borrowings as total deposits were down $2.6 billion, or 4.9%, to $51.0 billion. By type, the decrease in deposits from December 31, 2022 was driven by a decrease of $6.3 billion in savings and money market accounts and $3.0 billion in non-interest bearing demand deposits, partially offset by increases of $3.5 billion in certificates of deposit and $3.1 billion in interest bearing demand deposits. Other borrowings increased $3.3 billion from December 31, 2022 due to an increase in short-term borrowings.
Total stockholders’ equity of $5.7 billion at June 30, 2023 increased by $329 million, or 6.1%, from December 31, 2022. The increase in stockholders' equity is primarily a function of net income and unrealized fair value gains on AFS securities recorded net of tax in other comprehensive income, offset by quarterly dividends to common and preferred shareholders.
Investment securities
Debt securities are classified at the time of acquisition as either HTM, AFS, or trading based upon various factors, including asset/liability management strategies, liquidity and profitability objectives, and regulatory requirements. HTM securities are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. AFS securities are debt securities that may be sold prior to maturity based upon asset/liability management decisions. Investment securities classified as AFS are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses on these securities recorded in AOCI in stockholders’ equity, net of tax. Amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts on MBS is periodically adjusted for estimated prepayments. Trading securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses on these securities included in current period earnings.
The Company's investment securities portfolio is utilized as collateral for borrowings, required collateral for public deposits and repurchase agreements, and to manage liquidity, capital, and interest rate risk.

Loans HFS
The Company purchases and originates residential mortgage loans through its AmeriHome mortgage banking business channel that are held for sale or securitization. These loans have historically made up the entire balance of loans HFS. As of June 30, 2023, the loans HFS balance also includes $1.8 billion of loans (primarily commercial and industrial loans) remaining from the transfer of loans to HFS during the first quarter 2023. This transfer of loans is the primary driver of the increase in the balance of loans HFS to $3.2 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2022.

Loans classified as HFI are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, adjusted for net deferred fees and costs, premiums and discounts on acquired and purchased loans, and an ACL. Net deferred loan fees of $115 million and $141 million reduced the carrying value of loans as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Net unamortized purchase premiums on acquired and purchased loans of $187 million and $195 million increased the carrying value of loans as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Concentrations of Lending Activities
The Company monitors concentrations of lending activities at the product and borrower relationship level. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no borrower relationships at both the commitment and funded loan level exceeded 5% of total loans HFI.
Commercial and industrial loans made up 35% and 40% of total loans HFI as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company’s loan portfolio also includes credit exposure to the CRE market as CRE-non-owner occupied loans accounted for approximately 21% and 18% of total loans HFI at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Approximately $2.3 billion, or 4.8%, of total loans HFI consisted of CRE-non-owner occupied office loans as of June 30, 2023, compared to $2.4 billion, or 4.6%, as of December 31, 2022. These office loans primarily consist of shorter-term bridge loans that enable borrowers to reposition or redevelop projects with more modern standards attractive to in-office employers in today’s environment, including enhanced on-site amenities. The vast majority of these projects are located in suburban locations with Central Business District or downtown exposure totaling approximately 3% and midtown exposure totaling approximately 7% of office loans.
The office loan portfolio largely consists of value-add loans that require significant up-front cash equity contributions from institutional sponsors and large regional and national developers. Leverage is low with initial loan-to-value ratios less than 55% and a weighted average loan-to-cost of approximately 62% at time of origination. The properties underlying these loans have stable business trends and low vacancy rates. In addition to adhering to conservative underwriting standards, asset-specific credit risk is mitigated through continued sponsor support of projects by re-appraisal rights by the Company, re-margining

requirements and ongoing debt service, and debt yield covenants. To a large extent, the financing structures of these loans do not carry junior liens or mezzanine debt, which enables maximum flexibility when working with clients and sponsors.
In addition, construction and land loans were 9% and 8% of total loans HFI at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Non-performing Assets
Total non-performing loans increased $224 million to $311 million at June 30, 2023, from $87 million at December 31, 2022.

Restructurings for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The Company adopted the amendments in ASU 2022-02, which eliminated the accounting guidance on TDR loans for creditors and requires enhanced disclosures for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were made on or after January 1, 2023.
The following table presents the amortized cost of loans HFI that were modified during the period by loan portfolio segment:

The performance of these modified loans is monitored for 12 months following the modification. As of June 30, 2023, modified loans on nonaccrual status totaled $35 million and the remaining $55 million were current with contractual payments.
In the normal course of business, the Company also modifies EBO loans, which are delinquent FHA, VA, or USDA insured or guaranteed loans repurchased under the terms of the GNMA MBS program and can be repooled or resold when loans are brought current. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company completed modifications of EBO loans with an amortized cost of $43 million and $100 million, respectively. These modifications were largely payment delays and term extensions, or both.
Troubled Debt Restructured Loans
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company accounted for a modification to the contractual terms of a loan that resulted in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a TDR. The loan terms that were modified or restructured due to a borrower’s financial situation included, but were not limited to, a reduction in the stated interest rate, an extension of the maturity or renewal of the loan at an interest rate below current market, a reduction in the face amount of the debt, a reduction in the accrued interest, or deferral of interest payments. The majority of the Company's modifications were extensions in terms or deferral of payments which resulted in no lost principal or interest. Consistent with regulatory guidance, a TDR loan that was subsequently modified in another restructuring agreement but had shown sustained performance and classification as a TDR, was removed from TDR status provided that the modified terms were market-based at the time of modification.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess consideration paid for net assets acquired in a business combination over their fair value. Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination that are determined to have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization, but are subsequently evaluated for impairment at least annually. The Company has goodwill totaling $527 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The Company performs its annual goodwill and intangible assets impairment tests as of October 1 each year, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company evaluated whether the continued effects from the March 2023 bank failures may give rise to a triggering event and elected to perform a Step 0 goodwill impairment assessment, which included analyzing qualitative factors applicable to the Company, the financial performance of the Company, and valuation metrics of publicly traded companies comparable to the Company and its reporting units. As of June 30, 2023, the Company does not believe that these events or circumstances have significantly altered the long-term financial performance of the Company. Accordingly, it was determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company and its reporting units exceeds their respective carrying values as of June 30, 2023. The Company will continue to monitor developments in the banking industry and the resulting impact on the Company’s performance to assess whether an interim impairment test of goodwill or other intangible assets may be necessary next quarter.
Deferred Tax Assets
As of June 30, 2023, the net DTA balance totaled $315 million. There was not a significant change in the net deferred tax asset of $311 million at December 31, 2022 as decreases to MSR DTLs, were offset by increases in the fair market value of AFS securities and decreases to the accrued bonus DTA.
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no deferred tax valuation allowance.
Deposits
Deposits are the primary source for funding the Company's asset growth. Total deposits decreased to $51.0 billion at June 30, 2023, from $53.6 billion at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $2.6 billion, or 4.9%. By deposit type, the decrease in deposits is attributable to decreases in savings and money market accounts of $6.3 billion and non-interest bearing demand deposits of $3.0 billion, partially offset by increases in certificates of deposit of $3.5 billion and interest bearing demand deposits of $3.1 billion.
WAB is a participant in the IntraFi Network, a network that offers deposit placement services such as CDARS and ICS, and other reciprocal deposit networks which offer products that qualify large deposits for FDIC insurance. At June 30, 2023, the Company had $11.4 billion of reciprocal deposits, compared to $2.8 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in reciprocal deposits from December 31, 2022 resulted from the Company's efforts to strengthen its insured deposit ratio.
Brokered deposits provide an additional source of deposits and are placed with the Bank through third-party brokers. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company reported wholesale brokered deposits of $18.3 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. The wholesale brokered deposit balance included $11.4 billion of reciprocal deposits at June 30, 2023. Although classified as brokered deposits, due to the reciprocal nature of these deposits, the Company believes that these deposits carry a lower risk of withdrawal and deposit volatility. To improve depositor stability, the Company undertook an initiative to encourage its depositors to move their accounts into reciprocal deposit structures. This significantly increased the Company's insured deposit ratio from 45% at December 31, 2022 to 77% at June 30, 2023 and including collateralized deposits, this ratio increased to 81% at June 30, 2023 from 47% at December 31, 2022.
In addition, deposits for which the Company provides account holders with earnings credits or referral fees totaled $14.9 billion and $12.9 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company incurred $87.8 million and $17.3 million in deposit related costs on these deposits during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred $173.4 million and $26.0 million in deposit related costs on these deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These costs are reported as Deposit costs in non-interest expense. The increase in these costs from the prior year is due to an increase in average earnings credit rates as well as an increase in average deposit balances eligible for earnings credits or referral fees.

Other Borrowings
Short-Term Borrowings
The Company utilizes short-term borrowed funds to support short-term liquidity needs. The majority of these short-term borrowed funds consist of advances from the FHLB, federal funds purchased from correspondent banks or the FHLB, the BTFP, and repurchase agreements. The Company’s borrowing capacity with the FHLB is determined based on collateral pledged, generally consisting of securities and loans. In addition, the Company has repurchase facilities, collateralized by securities and EBO loans, including assets sold under agreements to repurchase, which are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction, and may require additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. Total short term borrowings increased $3.8 billion to $8.8 billion at June 30, 2023 from $5.0 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase was driven by increases in securities repurchase agreements of $1.4 billion, BTFP borrowings of $1.3 billion, EBO repurchase agreements of $1.1 billion, FHLB advances of $600 million, and $55 million of warehouse borrowings.
Long-Term Borrowings
The Company's long-term borrowings consist of AmeriHome senior notes and credit linked notes, inclusive of issuance costs and fair market value adjustments. At June 30, 2023, the carrying value of long-term borrowings was $768 million, compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2022. The decrease in long-term borrowings from December 31, 2022 primarily relates to the payoff of credit linked notes on the Company's mortgage warehouse and equity fund resource loans during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Qualifying Debt
Qualifying debt consists of subordinated debt and junior subordinated debt, inclusive of issuance costs and fair market value adjustments. At June 30, 2023, the carrying value of qualifying debt was $888 million, compared to $893 million at December 31, 2022.

Capital Resources
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could trigger certain mandatory or discretionary actions that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s business and financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items (discussed in "Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies" to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements) as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
As permitted by the regulatory capital rules, the Company elected the CECL transition option that delayed the estimated impact on regulatory capital resulting from the adoption of CECL over a five-year transition period ending December 31, 2024. Accordingly, capital ratios and amounts for 2022 include a 25% reduction to the capital benefit that resulted from the increased ACL related to the adoption of ASC 326, which has increased to include a 50% reduction beginning in 2023.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company and the Bank exceeded the capital levels necessary to be classified as well-capitalized, as defined by the various banking agencies. The actual capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank are presented in the following tables:

The Company is also required to maintain specified levels of capital to remain in good standing with certain federal government agencies, including FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA, and HUD. These capital requirements are generally tied to the unpaid balances of loans included in the Company's servicing portfolio or loan production volume. Noncompliance with these capital requirements can result in various remedial actions up to, and including, removing the Company's ability to sell loans to and service loans on behalf of the respective agency. The Company believes that it is in compliance with these requirements as of June 30, 2023.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Critical accounting estimates are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The critical accounting estimates upon which the Company's financial condition and results of operations depend, and which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, are included in the discussion entitled "Critical Accounting Policies" in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and all amendments thereto, as filed with the SEC. There were no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Liquidity
Liquidity is the ongoing ability to accommodate liability maturities and deposit withdrawals, fund asset growth and business operations, and meet contractual obligations through unconstrained access to funding at reasonable market rates. Liquidity management involves forecasting funding requirements and maintaining sufficient capacity to meet the needs and accommodate fluctuations in asset and liability levels due to changes in the Company's business operations or unanticipated events.
The ability to have readily available funds sufficient to repay fully maturing liabilities is of primary importance to depositors, creditors, and regulators. The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and amounts due from banks, federal funds sold, loans HFS, and non-pledged marketable securities, is a result of the Company's operating, investing, and financing activities and related cash flows. The Company actively monitors and manages liquidity, and no less than quarterly will estimate probable liquidity needs on a 12-month horizon. Liquidity needs can also be met through short-term borrowings or the disposition of short-term assets.

The Parent maintains liquidity that would be sufficient to fund its operations and certain non-bank affiliate operations for an extended period should funding from normal sources be disrupted. In the Company's analysis of Parent liquidity, it is assumed that the Parent is unable to generate funds from additional debt or equity issuances, receives no dividend income from subsidiaries and does not pay dividends to stockholders, while continuing to make non-discretionary payments needed to maintain operations and repayment of contractual principal and interest payments owed by the Parent and affiliated companies. Under this scenario, the amount of time the Parent and its non-bank subsidiary can operate and meet all obligations before the current liquid assets are exhausted is considered as part of the Parent liquidity analysis. Management believes the Parent maintains adequate liquidity capacity to operate without additional funding from new sources for over twelve months.
WAB maintains sufficient funding capacity to address large increases in funding requirements, such as deposit outflows. This capacity is comprised of liquidity derived from a reduction in asset levels and various secured funding sources. On a long-term basis, the Company’s liquidity will be met by changing the relative distribution of its asset portfolios (for example, by reducing investment or loan volumes, or selling or encumbering assets). Further, the Company can increase liquidity by soliciting higher levels of deposit accounts through promotional activities and/or borrowing from correspondent banks, the FHLB of San Francisco, and the FRB. At June 30, 2023, the Company's long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to funds required to support loan originations, commitments, and deposit withdrawals, which can be met by cash flows from investment payments and maturities, and investment sales, if necessary.
The Company’s liquidity is comprised of three primary classifications: 1) cash flows provided by operating activities; 2) cash flows used in investing activities; and 3) cash flows provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by or used in operating activities consists primarily of net income, adjusted for changes in certain other asset and liability accounts and certain non-cash income and expense items, such as the provision for credit losses, investment and other amortization and depreciation. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was $(100.1) million and $960.0 million, respectively.
The Company's primary investing activities are the origination of real estate and commercial loans, the collection of repayments of these loans, and the purchase and sale of securities. The Company's net cash provided by and used in investing activities has been primarily influenced by its loan and securities activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company's cash balance increased by $1.6 billion as a result of a net decrease in loans, compared to a reduction in cash of $8.0 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2022 from a net increase in loans. A net increase in investment securities of $1.5 billion and $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, partially offset the increase to the Company's cash balance during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and contributed to the reduction during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Net cash provided by financing activities has been impacted significantly by deposit levels. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net deposits decreased $2.6 billion, compared to an increase in net deposits of $6.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Fluctuations in core deposit levels may increase the Company's need for liquidity as certificates of deposit mature or are withdrawn before maturity, and as non-maturity deposits, such as checking and savings account balances, are withdrawn. Additionally, the Company is exposed to the risk that customers with large deposit balances will withdraw all or a portion of such deposits, due in part to the FDIC limitations on the amount of insurance coverage provided to depositors. To mitigate the uninsured deposit risk, the Company participates in the CDARS and ICS programs, which allow an individual customer to invest up to $50.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, through one participating financial institution or, a combined total of $200.0 million per individual customer, with the entire amount being covered by FDIC insurance. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $11.4 billion of total reciprocal deposits.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company has $18.3 billion of wholesale brokered deposits outstanding, which includes $11.4 billion of reciprocal deposits. Although classified as brokered deposits, the Company believes that due to the reciprocal nature of these deposits, these accounts carry a lower risk of withdrawal and deposit volatility. Non-reciprocal brokered deposits are generally considered to be deposits that have been received from a third party who is engaged in the business of placing deposits on behalf of others. A traditional deposit broker will direct deposits to the banking institution offering the highest interest rate available. Federal banking laws and regulations place restrictions on depository institutions regarding brokered deposits because of the general concern that these deposits are not relationship based and are at a greater risk of being withdrawn and placed on deposit at another institution offering a higher interest rate, thus posing liquidity risk for institutions that gather brokered deposits in significant amounts.
Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid. The total amount of dividends which may be paid at any date is generally limited to the retained earnings of the bank. Dividends paid by WAB to the Parent would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, WAB paid dividends to the Parent of $55 million. During the six months ended

June 30, 2023, WAB and CSI paid dividends to the Parent of $110 million and $100 million, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, WAB paid dividends to the Parent of $60 million.
Supervision and Regulation
The following information is intended to update, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained under the caption “Supervision and Regulation” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Bank Term Funding Program
In response to the bank failures that occurred in March 2023, the Federal Reserve System has established a BTFP, which is intended to provide additional funding to eligible depository institutions to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors. The BTFP offers loans of up to one year in length to eligible depository institutions pledging any collateral eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve Banks in open market operations (for example, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agency securities, and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities), which will be valued at par. The U.S. Department of the Treasury will provide $25 billion as credit protection to the Federal Reserve Banks in connection with the BTFP. The goal of the BTFP is to be an additional source of liquidity against high-quality securities, eliminating an institution’s need to quickly sell those securities in times of stress. The Company has borrowings under the BTFP that totaled $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2023.
FDIC Special Assessment
To recover the loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund arising from the bank failures that occurred during the first quarter of 2023, the FDIC has proposed an annual special assessment rate of approximately 12.5 basis points. The assessment base for the special assessments would be equal to an institution’s estimated uninsured deposits as of December 31, 2022, adjusted to exclude the first $5 billion from estimated uninsured deposits. The special assessments would be collected over an eight-quarter collection period, at a quarterly special assessment rate of 3.13 basis points, with the first quarterly assessment period beginning on January 1, 2024. The comment period for the proposal ended on July 21, 2023, with a final rule expected later this year. If adopted as proposed, the Company expects to recognize a one-time charge of $65 million.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending, investing, and deposit taking activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages the Company's interest rate risk exposure. The Company generally manages its interest rate sensitivity by evaluating re-pricing opportunities on its earning assets to those on its funding liabilities.
Management uses various asset/liability strategies to manage the re-pricing characteristics of the Company's assets and liabilities, all of which are designed to ensure that exposure to interest rate fluctuations is limited to within the Company's guidelines of acceptable levels of risk-taking. Hedging strategies, including the terms and pricing of loans and deposits and management of the deployment of its securities, are used to reduce mismatches in interest rate re-pricing opportunities of portfolio assets and their funding sources.
Interest rate risk is addressed by ALCO, which includes members of executive management, finance, and operations. ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact on the net EVE and net interest income from potential changes in interest rates and considers the impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure. The Company manages its balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact on EVE and net interest income within acceptable ranges despite changes in interest rates.
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed at least quarterly by ALCO. Interest rate risk exposure is measured using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine its change in both EVE and net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. If potential changes to EVE and net interest income resulting from hypothetical interest rate changes are not within the limits established by the BOD, the BOD may direct management to adjust the asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk within Board-approved limits.
Net Interest Income Simulation. To measure interest rate risk at June 30, 2023, the Company used a simulation model to project changes in net interest income that result from forecasted changes in interest rates. This analysis calculates the difference between a baseline net interest income forecast using current yield curves that do not take into consideration any future anticipated rate hikes, compared to forecasted net income resulting from an immediate parallel shift in rates upward or downward, along with other scenarios directed by ALCO. The income simulation model includes various assumptions regarding re-pricing relationships for each of the Company's products. Many of the Company's assets are variable rate loans, which are assumed to re-price immediately and, proportional to the change in market rates, depending on their contracted index, including the impact of caps or floors. Some loans and investments contain contractual prepayment features (embedded options) and, accordingly, the simulation model incorporates prepayment assumptions. The Company's non-term deposit products re-price concurrently with interest rate changes taken by the FOMC.
This analysis indicates the impact of changes in net interest income for the given set of rate changes and assumptions. It assumes the balance sheet remains static and that its structure does not change over the course of the year. It does not account for all factors that could impact the Company's results, including changes by management to mitigate interest rate changes or secondary factors, such as changes to the Company's credit risk profile as interest rates change.
Furthermore, loan prepayment rate estimates and spread relationships change regularly. Interest rate changes create changes in actual loan prepayment speeds that will differ from the market estimates incorporated in this analysis. Changes that vary significantly from the modeled assumptions may have a significant effect on the Company's actual net interest income.
This simulation model assesses the changes in net interest income that would occur in response to an instantaneous and sustained increase or decrease (shock) in market interest rates. At June 30, 2023, our net interest income exposure for the next twelve months related to these hypothetical changes in market interest rates was within our current guidelines.

Economic Value of Equity. The Company measures the impact of market interest rate changes on the NPV of estimated cash flows from its assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items, defined as EVE, using a simulation model. This simulation model assesses the changes in the market value of interest rate sensitive financial instruments that would occur in response to an instantaneous and sustained increase or decrease (shock) in market interest rates.
At June 30, 2023, the Company's EVE exposure related to these hypothetical changes in market interest rates was within the Company's current guidelines.
The following table shows the Company's projected change in EVE for this set of rate shocks at June 30, 2023:

Interest Rate Scenario
Down 100Up 100Up 200Up 300
(change in basis points from Base)
% Change8.0 %(6.8)%(12.9)%(17.2)%
The computation of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, asset prepayments, and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the Company may undertake in response to changes in interest rates. Actual amounts may differ from the projections set forth above should market conditions vary from the underlying assumptions.
Derivative Contracts. In the normal course of business, the Company uses derivative instruments to meet the needs of its customers and manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.
Risk Factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes a discussion of the material risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business and impact our results of operations or financial condition. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Adverse developments or concerns affecting the financial services industry in general or financial institutions that are similar to us or that may be viewed as being similar to us, such as the recent bank closures and disruption in the United States banking industry, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar events, have in the past and may in the future lead to erosion of customer confidence in the banking system or certain banks, deposit volatility, liquidity issues, stock price volatility and other adverse developments. The closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in March 2023 led to such disruption and volatility, including deposit outflows, at many mid-sized banks, increasing the need for liquidity. Although a statement by the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC indicated that all depositors of Silicon Valley Bank would have access to all of their money after only one business day of closure, including funds held in uninsured deposit accounts, it is not certain that the Federal Reserve or FDIC will treat future bank failures similarly. On May 1, 2023, First Republic Bank was also closed by its primary state regulator, which appointed the FDIC as receiver, and the FDIC announced that JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association agreed to assume all of First Republic Bank’s deposits and substantially all of its assets.
Shortly following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, we and certain other banks experienced a brief period of elevated deposit withdrawals. While we cannot know for certain with respect to all withdrawals, we believe the elevated withdrawals were at least in part due to certain perceived similarities between our loan portfolio and deposit gathering activities and those of these banks. Our deposit balances stabilized as of March 20, 2023 and from such date through June 30, 2023 deposits increased, but were down $2.6 billion from December 31, 2022. During this time, we took additional measures to ensure liquidity, strengthen our capital position and increase customer confidence, which included increasing our borrowing capacity with the FRB, selling certain assets and strengthening our insured and collateralized deposit ratio from 45% as of December 31, 2022 to 81% as of June 30, 2023. We have also participated in the BTFP, with $1.3 billion of funds drawn as of June 30, 2023 on $1.3 billion of access capacity for the Bank. Although our deposits have stabilized and increased since we experienced the period of elevated withdrawals, we cannot be assured that similar unusual deposit withdrawal activity will not affect banks generally or us in the future. Our net interest margin also may be negatively impacted if the Company’s borrowings remain elevated in future periods.
Inflation and rapid increases in interest rates have led to a decline in the trading value of previously issued government securities with interest rates below current market interest rates. Any sale of investment securities that are held in an unrealized loss position by financial institutions for liquidity or other purposes will cause actual losses to be realized. Gross unrealized losses on our HTM and AFS investment securities totaled $182 million and $826 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2023. There can be no assurance that there will not be additional bank failures or liquidity concerns in particular segments of the financial services industry or in the U.S. financial system as a whole. The volatility and economic disruption resulting from the bank closures in 2023 have particularly impacted the price of capital stock and other securities issued by financial institutions, including us. Continued uncertainty regarding or worsening of the severity and duration of the volatility in the banking industry and related economic effects may also adversely impact the Company’s estimate of its allowance for credit losses and resulting provision for credit losses.
Any of these impacts, or any other impacts resulting from the events described above or other related or similar events, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our current and/or projected business operations and financial condition and results of operations.
