“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
This quarterly report on
Form 10-Q
contains forward-looking statements about U.S. Bancorp. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and are based on the information available to, and assumptions and estimates made by, management as of the date hereof. These forward-looking statements cover, among other things, anticipated future revenue and expenses and the future plans and prospects of U.S. Bancorp. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “anticipates,” “targets,” “expects,” “hopes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “goals,” “believes,” “continue” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including the following risks and uncertainties and the risks and uncertainties more fully discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of Exhibit 13 to U.S. Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. The COVID-19
pandemic is adversely affecting U.S. Bancorp, its customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on its business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects is uncertain. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s revenues and the values of its assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions, lead to a tightening of credit, and increase stock price volatility. In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices could affect U.S. Bancorp in substantial and unpredictable ways. U.S. Bancorp’s results could also be adversely affected by changes in interest rates; increases in unemployment rates; deterioration in the credit quality of its loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of its investment securities; legal and regulatory developments; litigation; increased competition from both banks and non-banks;
civil unrest; the effects of climate change; changes in customer behavior and preferences; breaches in data security, including as a result of work-from-home arrangements; failures to safeguard personal information; the impacts of international hostilities or geopolitical events; effects of mergers and acquisitions and related integration; effects of critical accounting policies and judgments; and management’s ability to effectively manage credit risk, market risk, operational risk, compliance risk, strategic risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and reputation risk. In addition, U.S. Bancorp’s proposed acquisition of MUFG Union Bank presents risks and uncertainties, including, among others: the risk that the cost savings, any revenue synergies and other anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition may not be realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized; the risk that U.S. Bancorp’s business could be disrupted as a result of the announcement and pendency of the proposed acquisition and diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; the possibility that the proposed acquisition, including the integration of MUFG Union Bank, may be more costly or difficult to complete than anticipated; delays in closing the proposed acquisition; and the failure of required governmental approvals to be obtained or any other closing conditions in the definitive purchase agreement to be satisfied. For discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from those described in forward-looking statements, refer to U.S. Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled “Corporate Risk Profile” and “Risk Factors” contained in Exhibit 13, and all subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, factors other than these risks also could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s results, and the reader should not consider these risks to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and U.S. Bancorp undertakes no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events. 2 |

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
OVERVIEW
Earnings Summary
U.S. Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) reported net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp of $1.6 billion for the first quarter of 2022, or $0.99 per diluted common share, compared with $2.3 billion, or $1.45 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2021. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 1.09 percent and 12.7 percent, respectively, for the first quarter of 2022, compared with 1.69 percent and 19.0 percent, respectively, for the first quarter of 2021.
Total net revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $126 million (2.3 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2021, reflecting a 3.6 percent increase in net interest income and a 0.6 percent increase in noninterest income. The increase in net interest income from the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to higher loan and investment securities balances and favorable deposit and funding mix due in part to higher noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower loan yields and changes in loan mix, as well as lower loan fees driven by the impact of loan forgiveness related to the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program in the first quarter of 2021. The noninterest income increase primarily reflected stronger payment services revenue, trust and investment management fees, deposit service charges and treasury management fees, mostly offset by lower mortgage banking revenue as refinancing activities decline, lower commercial products revenue related to capital markets activities and lower other noninterest income.
Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2022 was $123 million (3.6 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2021, reflecting increases in compensation expense, professional services expense and marketing and business development expense.
The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2022 was $112 million, compared with a benefit of $827 million for the first quarter of 2021. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2022 reflected the impact of improving credit quality, partially offset by loan growth and increasing economic uncertainty. The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2021 reflected a decrease in the allowance for credit losses as a result of improving economic conditions and credit quality. Net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2022 were $162 million, compared with $223 million in the first quarter of 2021. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.
Pending Acquisition
In September 2021, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MUFG Union Bank’s core regional banking franchise from Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (“MUFG”), for an expected purchase price of approximately $8.0 billion, including $5.5 billion in cash and approximately 44 million shares of U.S. Bancorp common stock. The transaction excludes the purchase of MUFG Union Bank’s Global Corporate & Investment Bank, certain middle and back office functions, and other assets. MUFG Union Bank currently has approximately 300 branches in California, Washington and Oregon and is expected to add approximately $105 billion in total assets, $58 billion of loans and $90 billion of deposits to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals which are not within the Company’s control. The Company expects to close the transaction approximately 45 days after being granted U.S. regulatory approvals. At this time, it is uncertain whether such approvals will be received in time to allow for closing to occur in the first half of 2022; however, the parties continue to make significant progress in planning for closing and integration while awaiting regulatory approvals.
STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $3.2 billion in the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of $111 million (3.6 percent) compared with the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher loan and investment securities balances and favorable deposit and funding mix due in part to higher noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower loan yields and changes in loan mix, as well as lower loan fees driven by the impact of loan forgiveness related to the SBA Paycheck Protection Program in the first quarter of 2021. Average earning assets were $32.1 billion (6.5 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2021, reflecting increases of $29.2 billion (20.1 percent) in investment securities and $19.0 billion (6.5 percent) in loans, partially offset by a decrease of $11.9 billion (28.6 percent) in interest-bearing deposits with banks. The net interest margin, on a taxable-equivalent basis, in the first quarter of 2022 was 2.44 percent, compared with 2.50 percent in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in net interest margin from the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the mix of loans and lower loan spreads within fixed-rate portfolios, partially offset by favorable changes in funding mix and the yield curve. Refer to the “Consolidated Daily Average Balance Sheet and Related Yields and Rates” table for further information on net interest income.

Average total loans in the first quarter of 2022 were $19.0 billion (6.5 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to growth in commercial loans (11.4 percent), residential mortgages (3.0 percent) and other retail loans (8.8 percent). The increase in commercial loans was primarily due to higher utilization driven by working capital needs of corporate customers and slower payoffs given higher volatility in the capital markets, as well as core growth, partially offset by expected reductions related to the forgiveness of loans in the SBA Paycheck Protection Program. The increase in residential mortgages was driven by stronger
on-balance
sheet loan activities and slower refinance activity. The increase in other retail loans was driven by auto and recreational vehicle lending during 2021, partially offset by lower home equity and second mortgages. Average investment securities in the first quarter of 2022 were $29.2 billion (20.1 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to purchases of mortgage-backed and U.S. Treasury securities, net of prepayments, sales and maturities.
Average total deposits for the first quarter of 2022 were $27.8 billion (6.5 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2021. Average total savings deposits for the first quarter of 2022 were $20.6 billion (7.3 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2021, driven by increases in Consumer and Business Banking, and Corporate and Commercial Banking balances, partially offset by a decrease in Wealth Management and Investment Services balances. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $9.6 billion (8.1 percent) higher than the prior year, primarily due to higher Corporate and Commercial Banking, and Wealth Management and Investment Services balances. Average time deposits were $2.4 billion (8.8 percent) lower than the prior year, primarily driven by decreases in Consumer and Business Banking, and Wealth Management and Investment Services balances, partially offset by an increase in Corporate and Commercial Banking balances. Changes in time deposits are primarily related to those deposits managed as an alternative to other funding sources, based largely on relative pricing and liquidity characteristics.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was $112 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with a benefit of $827 million for the first quarter of 2021. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2022 reflected the impact of improving credit quality, partially offset by loan growth and increasing economic uncertainty associated with rising inflation and geopolitical tensions. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2021 reflected the enactment of additional government stimulus programs and widespread vaccine availability, contributing to economic improvement during the period, which resulted in a significant decrease in the allowance for credit losses. Net charge-offs decreased $61 million (27.4 percent) in the first quarter of 2022, compared with the first quarter of 2021, reflecting improvement across most loan categories, associated with strong asset values and borrower liquidity. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $2.4 billion in the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of $15 million (0.6 percent) compared with the first quarter of 2021. The increase from a year ago reflected strong payment services revenue, growth in trust and investment management fees, improving deposit service charges and higher treasury management fees, mostly offset by lower commercial products revenue, mortgage banking revenue and other noninterest income. Payment services revenue increased $79 million (10.1 percent) as corporate payment products revenue increased $32 million (25.4 percent) primarily due to higher sales volume, while merchant processing services revenue increased $45 million

(14.2 percent) driven by higher sales volumes and merchant fees. Trust and investment management fees increased $56 million (12.6 percent) driven by business growth, favorable market conditions and activity related to the fourth quarter of 2021 acquisition of PFM Asset Management LLC (“PFM”), partially offset by higher fee waivers. Deposit service charges increased $16 million (9.9 percent) primarily due to higher customer spend activity, net of the impact of the elimination of certain consumer residual gains in the first quarter of 2022.
non-sufficient
funds fees in the first quarter of 2022. Treasury management fees increased $9 million (6.1 percent) primarily due to core growth given the continued recovery in the economy. Mortgage banking revenue decreased $99 million (33.1 percent) due to lower application volume, given declining refinance activities, and lower related gain on sale margins, partially offset by increases in mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) valuations, net of hedging activities, as well as higher performing loan sales. Commercial products revenue decreased $14 million (5.0 percent) primarily due to lower corporate bond fees and trading revenue within the capital markets business. Other noninterest income decreased $32 million (16.8 percent) driven by the impact of prior year asset sales and lower retail leasing end-of-term
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $3.5 billion in the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of $123 million (3.6 percent) over the first quarter of 2021. The increase from the prior year reflected higher compensation expense, professional services expense and marketing and business development expense. Compensation expense increased $50 million (2.8 percent) primarily due to merit increases and hiring to support business growth, partially offset by lower performance-based incentives. Professional services expense increased $16 million (16.3 percent) primarily due to an increase in business investment and related initiatives. Marketing and business development expense increased $32 million (66.7 percent) due to the timing of marketing campaigns as well as increased travel and entertainment.
Income Tax Expense
The provision for income taxes was $397 million (an effective rate of 20.3 percent) for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $607 million (an effective rate of 21.0 percent) for the first quarter of 2021. For further information on income taxes, refer to Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Loans
The Company’s loan portfolio was $318.9 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $312.0 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $6.9 billion (2.2 percent). The increase was driven by higher commercial loans and residential mortgages, partially offset by lower credit card loans and other retail loans.
Commercial loans increased $5.4 billion (4.9 percent) at March 31, 2022, compared with December 31, 2021, due to higher utilization driven by working capital needs of corporate customers and slower payoffs given higher volatility in the capital markets, as well as core growth.
Residential mortgages held in the loan portfolio increased $2.0 billion (2.6 percent) at March 31, 2022, compared with December 31, 2021, due to stronger
on-balance
sheet loan activities and slower refinance activity. Residential mortgages originated and placed in the Company’s loan portfolio include jumbo mortgages and branch-originated first lien home equity loans to borrowers with high credit quality. Credit card loans decreased $337 million (1.5 percent) at March 31, 2022, compared with December 31, 2021, primarily the result of customers seasonally paying down balances.

Other retail loans decreased $336 million (0.5 percent) at March 31, 2022, compared with December 31, 2021, due to decreases in retail leasing balances and auto loans, partially offset by an increase in installment loans.
The Company generally retains portfolio loans through maturity; however, the Company’s intent may change over time based upon various factors such as ongoing asset/liability management activities, assessment of product profitability, credit risk, liquidity needs, and capital implications. If the Company’s intent or ability to hold an existing portfolio loan changes, it is transferred to loans held for sale.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale, consisting primarily of residential mortgages to be sold in the secondary market, were $3.3 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $7.8 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease in loans held for sale was principally due to a lower level of mortgage loan closings in the first quarter of 2022, compared with the fourth quarter of 2021. Almost all of the residential mortgage loans the Company originates or purchases for sale follow guidelines that allow the loans to be sold into existing, highly liquid secondary markets, in particular in government agency transactions and to government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”).
Investment Securities
Investment securities totaled $167.2 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $174.8 billion at December 31, 2021. The $7.6 billion (4.3 percent) decrease was primarily due to a $6.8 billion unfavorable change in net unrealized gains (losses) on investment securities.
available-for-sale
The Company’s investment securities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) unless a portion of a security’s unrealized loss is related to credit and an allowance for credit losses is necessary. At March 31, 2022, the Company’s net unrealized losses on investment securities were $6.0 billion, compared with $722 million of net unrealized gains at December 31, 2021. The unfavorable change in net unrealized gains (losses) was primarily due to decreases in the fair value of mortgage-backed, U.S. Treasury and state and political securities as a result of changes in interest rates. Gross unrealized losses on investment securities totaled $6.3 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $812 million at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, the Company had no plans to sell securities with unrealized losses, and believes it is more likely than not that it would not be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

Deposits
Total deposits were $461.5 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $456.1 billion at December 31, 2021. The $5.5 billion (1.2 percent) increase in total deposits reflected increases in total savings deposits and time deposits, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits. Money market deposit balances increased $3.7 billion (3.2 percent) at March 31, 2022, compared with December 31, 2021, primarily due to higher Corporate and Commercial Banking, and Wealth Management and Investment Services balances. Savings account balances increased $2.6 billion (4.0 percent), driven by higher Consumer and Business Banking balances. Interest checking balances increased $2.6 billion (2.2 percent), primarily due to higher Corporate and Commercial Banking, and Consumer and Business Banking balances, partially offset by a decrease in Wealth Management and Investment Services balances. Time deposits increased $1.6 billion (7.2 percent) at March 31, 2022, compared with December 31, 2021, driven by higher Corporate and Commercial Banking balances, partially offset by lower Consumer and Business Banking balances. Changes in time deposits are primarily related to those deposits managed as an alternative to other funding sources, based largely on relative pricing and liquidity characteristics. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $5.1 billion (3.8 percent) at March 31, 2022, compared with December 31, 2021, primarily due to lower Wealth Management and Investment Services balances.
Borrowings
The Company utilizes both short-term and long-term borrowings as part of its asset/liability management and funding strategies. Short-term borrowings, which include federal funds purchased, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, borrowings secured by high-grade assets and other short-term borrowings, were $21.0 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $11.8 billion at December 31, 2021. The $9.2 billion (78.4 percent) increase in short-term borrowings was primarily due to an increase in
short-term
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. Long-term debt was $32.9 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $32.1 billion at December 31, 2021. The $806 million (2.5 percent) increase was primarily due to $2.1 billion of medium-term note issuances, partially offset by $1.0 billion of medium-term note repayments.

CORPORATE RISK PROFILE
Overview
Managing risks is an essential part of successfully operating a financial services company. The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a risk management framework which establishes governance and risk management requirements for all risk-taking activities. This framework includes Company and business line risk appetite statements which set boundaries for the types and amount of risk that may be undertaken in pursuing business objectives and initiatives. The Board of Directors, primarily through its Risk Management Committee, oversees performance relative to the risk management framework, risk appetite statements, and other policy requirements.
The Executive Risk Committee (“ERC”), which is chaired by the Chief Risk Officer and includes the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the executive management team, oversees execution against the risk management framework and risk appetite statements. The ERC focuses on current and emerging risks, including strategic and reputation risks, by directing timely and comprehensive actions. Senior operating committees have also been established, each responsible for overseeing a specified category of risk.
The Company’s most prominent risk exposures are credit, interest rate, market, liquidity, operational, compliance, strategic, and reputation. Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a change in the credit profile or the failure of a borrower or counterparty to meet its contractual obligations. Interest rate risk is the current or prospective risk to earnings and capital, or market valuations, arising from the impact of changes in interest rates. Market risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and security prices that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as trading and securities, mortgage loans held for sale (“MLHFS”), MSRs and derivatives that are accounted for on a fair value basis. Liquidity risk is the risk that financial condition or overall safety and soundness is adversely affected by the Company’s inability, or perceived inability, to meet its cash flow obligations in a timely and complete manner in either normal or stressed conditions. Operational risk is the risk to current or projected financial condition and resilience arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, people (including human errors or misconduct), or adverse external events, including the risk of loss resulting from breaches in data security. Operational risk can also include the risk of loss due to failures by third parties with which the Company does business. Compliance risk is the risk that the Company may suffer legal or regulatory sanctions, financial losses, and reputational damage if it fails to adhere to compliance requirements and the Company’s compliance policies. Strategic risk is the risk to current or projected financial condition and resilience arising from adverse business decisions, poor implementation of business decisions, or lack of responsiveness to changes in the banking industry and operating environment. Reputation risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings, capital, or franchise or enterprise value arising from negative public opinion. This risk may impair the Company’s competitiveness by affecting its ability to establish new relationships or services, or continue serving existing relationships. In addition to the risks identified above, other risk factors exist that may impact the Company. Refer to “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
available-for-sale
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021, for a detailed discussion of these factors. The Company’s Board and management-level governance committees are supported by a “three lines of defense” model for establishing effective checks and balances. The first line of defense, the business lines, manages risks in conformity with established limits and policy requirements. In turn, business line leaders and their risk officers establish programs to ensure conformity with these limits and policy requirements. The second line of defense, which includes the Chief Risk Officer’s organization as well as policy and oversight activities of corporate support functions, translates risk appetite and strategy into actionable risk limits and policies. The second line of defense monitors first line of defense conformity with limits and policies, and provides reporting and escalation of emerging risks and other concerns to senior management and the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors. The third line of defense, internal audit, is responsible for providing the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and senior management with independent assessment and assurance regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s governance, risk management and control processes.
Management regularly provides reports to the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors. The Risk Management Committee discusses with management the Company’s risk management performance, and provides a summary of key risks to the entire Board of Directors, covering the status of existing matters, areas of potential future concern and specific information on certain types of loss events. The Risk Management
| U.S. Bancorp | 9 |
Committee considers quarterly reports by management assessing the Company’s performance relative to the risk appetite statements and the associated risk limits, including:
| • | Macroeconomic environment and other qualitative considerations, such as regulatory and compliance changes, litigation developments, geopolitical events, and technology and cybersecurity; |
| • | Credit measures, including adversely rated and nonperforming loans, leveraged transactions, credit concentrations and lending limits; |
| • | Interest rate and market risk, including market value and net income simulation, and trading-related Value at Risk (“VaR”); |
| • | Liquidity risk, including funding projections under various stressed scenarios; |
| • | Operational and compliance risk, including losses stemming from events such as fraud, processing errors, control breaches, breaches in data security or adverse business decisions, as well as reporting on technology performance, and various legal and regulatory compliance measures; |
| • | Capital ratios and projections, including regulatory measures and stressed scenarios; and |
| • | Strategic and reputation risk considerations, impacts and responses. |
Credit Risk Management
The Company’s strategy for credit risk management includes well-defined, centralized credit policies, uniform underwriting criteria, and ongoing risk monitoring and review processes for all commercial and consumer credit exposures. In evaluating its credit risk, the Company considers changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), collateral values, trends in loan performance and macroeconomic factors, such as changes in unemployment rates, gross domestic product levels and consumer bankruptcy filings. The Risk Management Committee oversees the Company’s credit risk management process.
In addition, credit quality ratings as defined by the Company are an important part of the Company’s overall credit risk management and evaluation of its allowance for credit losses. Loans with a pass rating represent those loans not classified on the Company’s rating scale for problem credits, as minimal credit risk has been identified. Loans with a special mention or classified rating, including consumer lending and small business loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing, nonaccrual loans, those loans considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), and loans in a junior lien position that are current but are behind a first lien position on nonaccrual, encompass all loans held by the Company that it considers to have a potential or well-defined weakness that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. The Company’s internal credit quality ratings for consumer loans are primarily based on delinquency and nonperforming status, except for a limited population of larger loans within those portfolios that are individually evaluated. For this limited population, the determination of the internal credit quality rating may also consider collateral value and customer cash flows. Refer to Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Company’s loan portfolios including internal credit quality ratings. In addition, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Credit Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021, for a more detailed discussion on credit risk management processes. The Company manages its credit risk, in part, through diversification of its loan portfolio which is achieved through limit setting by product type criteria, such as industry, and identification of credit concentrations. As part of its normal business activities, the Company offers a broad array of lending products. The Company categorizes its loan portfolio into two segments, which is the level at which it develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses. The Company’s two loan portfolio segments are commercial lending and consumer lending.
The commercial lending segment includes loans and leases made to small business, middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate, financial institution,
non-profit
and public sector customers. Key risk characteristics relevant to commercial lending segment loans include the industry and geography of the borrower’s business, purpose of the loan, repayment source, borrower’s debt capacity and financial flexibility, loan covenants, and nature of pledged collateral, if any, as well as macroeconomic factors such as unemployment rates, gross domestic product levels, corporate bond spreads and long-term interest rates. These risk characteristics, among others, are considered in determining estimates about the likelihood of default by the borrowers and the severity of loss in the event of default. The Company considers these risk characteristics in assigning internal risk ratings to, or forecasting losses on, these loans, which are the significant factors in determining the allowance for credit losses for loans in the commercial lending segment. The consumer lending segment represents loans and leases made to consumer customers, including residential

mortgages, credit card loans, and other retail loans such as revolving consumer lines, auto loans and leases, home equity loans and lines, and student loans, a (“LTV”) information reflecting current market conditions on real estate-based loans. These and other risk characteristics are reflected in forecasts of delinquency levels, bankruptcies and losses which are the primary factors in determining the allowance for credit losses for the consumer lending segment.
run-off
portfolio. Home equity or second mortgage loans are junior lien closed-end
accounts fully disbursed at origination. These loans typically are fixed rate loans, secured by residential real estate, with a 10-
or 15-year
fixed payment amortization schedule. Home equity lines are revolving accounts giving the borrower the ability to draw and repay balances repeatedly, up to a maximum commitment, and are secured by residential real estate. These include accounts in either a first or junior lien position. Typical terms on home equity lines in the portfolio are variable rates benchmarked to the prime rate, with a 10-
or 15-year
draw period during which a minimum payment is equivalent to the monthly interest, followed by a 20-
or 10-year
amortization period, respectively. At March 31, 2022, substantially all of the Company’s home equity lines were in the draw period. Key risk characteristics relevant to consumer lending segment loans primarily relate to the borrowers’ capacity and willingness to repay and include unemployment rates, consumer bankruptcy filings and other macroeconomic factors, customer payment history and credit scores, and in some cases, updated loan-to-value
The Company further disaggregates its loan portfolio segments into various classes based on their underlying risk characteristics. The two classes within the commercial lending segment are commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. The three classes within the consumer lending segment are residential mortgages, credit card loans and other retail loans.
The Company’s consumer lending segment utilizes several distinct business processes and channels to originate consumer credit, including traditional branch lending, mobile and
on-line
banking, indirect lending, alliance partnerships and correspondent banks. Each distinct underwriting and origination activity manages unique credit risk characteristics and prices its loan production commensurate with the differing risk profiles. Residential mortgage originations are generally limited to prime borrowers and are performed through the Company’s branches, loan production offices, mobile and
on-line
services and a wholesale network of originators. The Company may retain residential mortgage loans it originates on its balance sheet or sell the loans into the secondary market while retaining the servicing rights and customer relationships. Utilizing the secondary markets enables the Company to effectively reduce its credit and other asset/liability risks. For residential mortgages that are retained in the Company’s portfolio and for home equity and second mortgages, credit risk is also diversified by geography and managed by adherence to LTV and borrower credit criteria during the underwriting process. The Company estimates updated LTV information on its outstanding residential mortgages quarterly, based on a method that combines automated valuation model updates and relevant home price indices. LTV is the ratio of the loan’s outstanding principal balance to the current estimate of property value. For home equity and second mortgages, combined (“CLTV”) is the combination of the first mortgage original principal balance and the second lien outstanding principal balance, relative to the current estimate of property value. Certain loans do not have an LTV or CLTV, primarily due to lack of availability of relevant automated valuation model and/or home price indices values, or lack of necessary valuation data on acquired loans.

Home equity and second mortgages were $10.5 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $10.4 billion at December 31, 2021, and included $3.0 billion of home equity lines in a first lien position and $7.5 billion of home equity and second mortgage loans and lines in a junior lien position. Loans and lines in a junior lien position at March 31, 2022, included approximately $2.7 billion of loans and lines for which the Company also serviced the related first lien loan, and approximately $4.8 billion where the Company did not service the related first lien loan. The Company was able to determine the status of the related first liens using information the Company has as the servicer of the first lien or information reported on customer credit bureau files. The Company also evaluates other indicators of credit risk for these junior lien loans and lines including delinquency, estimated average CLTV ratios and updated weighted-average credit scores in making its assessment of credit risk, related loss estimates and determining the allowance for credit losses.

Restructured Loans
In certain circumstances, the Company may modify the terms of a loan to maximize the collection of amounts due when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties or is expected to experience difficulties in the near-term. In most cases the modification is either a concessionary reduction in interest rate, extension of the maturity date or reduction in the principal balance that would otherwise not be considered.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
Concessionary modifications are classified as TDRs unless the modification results in only an insignificant delay in the payments to be received. TDRs accrue interest if the borrower complies with the revised terms and conditions and has demonstrated repayment performance at a level commensurate with the modified terms over several payment cycles, which is generally six months or greater. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, performing TDRs were $3.1 billion.
The Company continues to work with customers to modify loans for borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulties. Many of the Company’s TDRs are determined on a basis in connection with ongoing loan collection processes. The modifications vary within each of the Company’s loan classes. Commercial lending segment TDRs generally include extensions of the maturity date and may be accompanied by an increase or decrease to the interest rate. The Company may also work with the borrower to make other changes to the loan to mitigate losses, such as obtaining additional collateral and/or guarantees to support the loan.
case-by-case
The Company has also implemented certain residential mortgage loan restructuring programs that may result in TDRs. The Company modifies residential mortgage loans under Federal Housing Administration, United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and its own internal programs. Under these programs, the Company offers qualifying homeowners the opportunity to permanently modify their loan and achieve more affordable monthly payments by providing loan concessions. These concessions may include adjustments to interest rates, conversion of adjustable rates to fixed rates, extensions of maturity dates or deferrals of payments, capitalization of accrued interest and/or outstanding advances, or in limited situations, partial forgiveness of loan principal. In most instances, participation in residential mortgage loan restructuring programs requires the customer to complete a short-term trial period. A permanent loan modification is contingent on the customer successfully completing the trial period arrangement, and the loan documents are not modified until that time. The Company reports loans in a trial period arrangement as TDRs and continues to report them as TDRs after the trial period.
Credit card and other retail loan TDRs are generally part of distinct restructuring programs providing customers modification solutions over a specified time period, generally up to 60 months.
In accordance with regulatory guidance, the Company considers secured consumer loans that have had debt discharged through bankruptcy where the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt to be TDRs. If the loan amount exceeds the collateral value, the loan is charged down to collateral value and the remaining amount is reported as nonperforming.
The following table provides a summary of TDRs by loan class, including the delinquency status for TDRs that continue to accrue interest and TDRs included in nonperforming assets:

Short-term and Other Loan Modifications
The Company makes short-term and other modifications that it does not consider to be TDRs, in limited circumstances, to assist borrowers experiencing temporary hardships, including previously offering payment relief to borrowers that have experienced financial hardship resulting directly from the effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic. Short-term consumer lending modification programs include payment reductions, deferrals of up to three past due payments, and the ability to return to current status if the borrower makes required payments. The Company may also make short-term modifications to commercial lending loans, with the most common modification being an extension of the maturity date of three months or less. Such extensions generally are used when the maturity date is imminent and the borrower is experiencing some level of financial stress, but the Company believes the borrower will pay all contractual amounts owed. Nonperforming Assets
The level of nonperforming assets represents another indicator of the potential for future credit losses. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans not performing in accordance with modified terms and not accruing interest, restructured loans that have not met the performance period required to return to accrual status, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other nonperforming assets owned by the Company. Interest payments collected from assets on nonaccrual status are generally applied against the principal balance and not recorded as income. However, interest income may be recognized for interest payments if the remaining carrying amount of the loan is believed to be collectible.
At March 31, 2022, total nonperforming assets were $811 million, compared to $878 million at December 31, 2021. The $67 million (7.6 percent) decrease in nonperforming assets was driven by a decrease in nonperforming commercial real estate loans. The ratio of total nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate was 0.25 percent at March 31, 2022, compared with 0.28 percent at December 31, 2021.
OREO was $23 million at March 31, 2022, compared with $22 million at December 31, 2021, and was related to foreclosed properties that previously secured loan balances. These balances exclude foreclosed GNMA loans whose repayments are primarily insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
