PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This quarterly report includes “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions regarding future events or determinations, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, industry trends, and results or regulatory outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Forward-looking statements include, among others:
•statements with respect to the beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, targets, commitments, designs, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, and future financial condition, results of operations and performance of Zions Bancorporation, National Association and its subsidiaries (collectively “Zions Bancorporation, N.A.,” “the Bank,” “we,” “our,” “us”); and
•statements preceded or followed by, or that include the words “may,” “might,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecasts,” “expect,” “intend,” “target,” “commit,” “design,” “plan,” “projects,” “will,” and the negative thereof and similar words and expressions.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees, nor should they be relied upon as representing management’s views as of any subsequent date. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those presented. Although this list is not comprehensive, important factors that may cause material differences include changes in general industry and economic conditions, including inflation; changes and uncertainties in legislation and fiscal, monetary, regulatory, trade, and tax policies; changes in interest and reference rates; the quality and composition of our loan and securities portfolios; our ability to recruit and retain talent, including increased competition for qualified candidates as a result of expanded remote-work opportunities and increased compensation expenses; competitive pressures and other factors that may affect aspects of our business, such as pricing, demand for our products and services; our ability to execute our strategic plans, manage our risks, and achieve our business objectives; our ability to develop and maintain information security systems and controls designed to guard against fraud, cyber, and privacy risks; the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (including variants) and associated actions that may affect our business, employees, and communities; other local, national, or international disasters, crises, or conflicts that may occur in the future; and governmental and social responses to environmental issues and climate change. These factors, risks, and uncertainties, among others, are discussed in our 2021 Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
We caution against the undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our views only as of the date they are made. Except to the extent required by law, we specifically disclaim any obligation to update any factors or to publicly announce the revisions to any of the forward-looking statements included herein to reflect future events or developments.
GAAP to NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
This Form 10-Q presents non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures, to provide investors with additional information. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are presented in the following schedules. We consider these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results and to provide a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess our performance, financial position, and for presentations of our performance to investors. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess our performance on the same basis as that applied by our management and the financial services industry.
4
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and are not necessarily comparable to similar financial measures that may be presented by other financial services companies. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
Tangible Common Equity and Related Measures
Tangible common equity and related measures are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our use of shareholders’ equity and provide a basis for evaluating the performance of a business more consistently, whether acquired or developed internally.

Efficiency Ratio and Adjusted Pre-Provision Net Revenue
The efficiency ratio is a measure of operating expense relative to revenue. We believe the efficiency ratio provides useful information regarding the cost of generating revenue. The methodology of determining the efficiency ratio may differ among companies. We make adjustments to exclude certain items that are not generally expected to recur frequently, as identified in the subsequent schedule, which we believe allow for more consistent comparability across periods. Adjusted noninterest expense provides a measure as to how well we are managing our expenses; adjusted pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”) enables management and others to assess our ability to generate capital. Taxable-equivalent net interest income allows us to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.

Comparisons noted below are calculated for the current quarter versus the same prior-year period unless otherwise specified. Growth rates of 100% or more are considered not meaningful (“NM”) as they generally reflect a low starting point.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Summary
Our financial results in the first quarter of 2022 reflected strong non-PPP loan growth, solid credit performance, and improving customer-related noninterest income. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) decreased to $1.27, compared with $1.90 in the first quarter of 2021.
Net interest income remained relatively stable at $544 million, as significant growth of $7.8 billion in average interest-earning assets was partially offset by net interest margin (“NIM”) compression arising from an increased concentration in cash and securities and the low interest rate environment. The NIM was 2.60% in the first quarter of 2022, compared with 2.86%.
Our results benefited from a negative $33 million provision for credit losses, reflecting improvements in economic forecasts and strong credit quality. This compares with a negative $132 million provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2021. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $6 million, or 0.05% of average loans (ex-PPP), compared with net charge-offs of $8 million, or 0.07% of average loans (ex-PPP), in the prior year quarter.
Total customer-related noninterest income increased $18 million, or 14%, primarily due to improved card, retail and business banking, and wealth management activity. Total noninterest income decreased $27 million, or 16%, largely due to $17 million of negative mark-to-market adjustments during the quarter primarily relating to our Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) investment in Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Total noninterest expense increased $29 million, or 7%. The increase was largely driven by a $24 million increase in salaries and benefits expense, which was impacted by (1) inflationary and competitive labor market pressures on wages and (2) increases in incentive compensation accruals arising from improvements in anticipated full-year profitability. Our efficiency ratio was 65.8%, compared with 63.5% for the first quarter of 2021.
The growth in average interest-earning assets was driven by a $9.4 billion increase in average available-for-sale (“AFS”) investment securities and a $1.2 billion increase in average money market investments. Over the past year, we actively deployed excess liquidity into medium-duration assets, as we sought to balance competing objectives of increasing current income, maintaining asset sensitivity to benefit from rising rates, and maintaining sufficient liquidity for loan growth and changes in deposit trends.
Excluding Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, total loans and leases increased $3.2 billion, or 7%, to $50.2 billion. The increases were primarily in the commercial and industrial, commercial owner-occupied, municipal, and home equity credit line portfolios. Total loans and leases decreased $2.2 billion, or 4%, from the prior year quarter, primarily due to the forgiveness of PPP loans and a decline in 1-4 family residential mortgage loans.
Total deposits increased $8.5 billion, or 12%, from the prior year quarter, primarily due to a $6.1 billion increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.

Net earnings applicable to common shareholders decreased from the first quarter of 2021. The prior year quarter benefited from a negative $132 million provision for credit losses, compared with negative $33 million in the first quarter of 2022. | Diluted earnings per share declined from the first quarter of 2021 as a result of decreased net earnings, the effect of which was partially offset by a 12.2 million decrease in average diluted shares, primarily due to share repurchases. | Adjusted PPNR decreased $12 million from the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to the increase in adjusted noninterest expense, driven by increases in salaries and benefits expense, partially offset by increases in customer-related fee income. | The efficiency ratio increased from the prior year quarter, primarily as growth in adjusted noninterest expense due to the increase in salaries and benefits expense exceeded growth in adjusted revenue. | |||||||||||||||||
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, and was approximately 79% of our net revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) for the quarter. The net interest margin is derived from both the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and their respective yields and rates.

Net interest income remained relatively stable at $544 million during the first quarter of 2022, as significant growth in average interest-earning assets was partially offset by NIM compression arising from an increased concentration in cash and securities and the low interest rate environment.
Average interest-earning assets increased $7.8 billion, or 10%, driven by growth of $9.4 billion in AFS securities, $2.3 billion in commercial loans (ex-PPP), and $1.2 billion in money market investments. These increases were partially offset by a $4.7 billion decline in average PPP loans. Average securities increased to 30% of average interest-earning assets, compared with 21%, as we actively deployed excess liquidity into medium duration assets.
The NIM was 2.60%, compared with 2.86%. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 2.65% in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of 30 basis points (“bps”), primarily due to a decrease in the yield on loans. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 6 bps to 0.11%.
Average loans and leases (ex-PPP) increased $1.9 billion, or 4%, primarily in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio. Total average loans and leases decreased $2.8 billion, or 5%, from $53.7 billion in the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to the forgiveness of PPP loans and a decrease in 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. The decline in our mortgage loan portfolio is partly due to refinancing activity. We generally originate residential mortgage loans and sell them to government-sponsored entities as part of our interest rate risk management efforts to limit our balance sheet exposure to long-term assets.
The yield on total loans decreased 21 basis points to 3.52%. The yield on non-PPP loans decreased 26 basis points, primarily driven by (1) lower yields on loans originated during the past year, compared with yields on loans maturing and amortizing during the same period, and (2) promotional rates on commercial owner-occupied loans and home equity credit lines.
During the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, PPP loans totaling $0.8 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, were forgiven by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). PPP loans contributed $24 million and $60 million in interest income during the same time periods. The yield on these loans was 6.64% and 3.98% for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and was positively impacted by accelerated amortization of deferred fees on paid off or forgiven PPP loans. At March 31, 2022 and 2021, the remaining unamortized net deferred fees on these loans totaled $24 million and $168 million, respectively.
Average total deposits increased $10.2 billion to $81.6 billion at an average cost of 0.03%, from $71.4 billion at an average cost of 0.05% in the first quarter of 2021. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $2.0 billion, or 5%.
9
The rate paid on total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was 0.06%, a decrease from 0.09% during the first quarter of 2021, which was primarily due to low interest-bearing deposit rates and strong noninterest-bearing deposit growth.
Average AFS securities balances increased $9.3 billion, or 59%, from $15.9 billion, mainly due to an increase in our mortgage-backed securities portfolio. The yield on securities remained relatively stable at 1.78%.
Average borrowed funds decreased $1.0 billion, or 42%, from $2.4 billion, with both average short-term borrowings and average long-term borrowings decreasing $0.5 billion. The average rate paid on short-term borrowings remained stable at 0.08%, while the rate paid on long-term debt increased 36 bps from the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower-yielding senior debt that was redeemed or matured over the past few quarters. The decrease in overall borrowed funds continues to reflect strong deposit growth.
For further discussion of the effects of market rates on net interest income and how we manage interest rate risk, refer to the “Interest Rate and Market Risk Management” section on page 27. For more information on how we manage liquidity risk, refer to the “Liquidity Risk Management” section on page 31.
The following schedule summarizes the average balances, the amount of interest earned or paid, and the applicable yields for interest-earning assets and the costs of interest-bearing liabilities.

1 Rates are calculated using amounts in thousands and a tax rate of 21% for the periods presented. The taxable-equivalent rates used are the rates that were applicable at the time of each respective reporting period.
2 Interest on total securities includes $28 million and $30 million of taxable-equivalent premium amortization for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
3 Net of unamortized purchase premiums, discounts, and deferred loan fees and costs.

Provision for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is the combination of both the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments (“RULC”). The ALLL represents the estimated current expected credit losses related to the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The RULC represents the estimated reserve for current expected credit losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments. Changes in the ALLL and RULC, net of charge-offs and recoveries, are recorded as the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded lending commitments, respectively, in the income statement. The ACL for debt securities is estimated separately from loans.
The provision for credit losses, which is the combination of both the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded lending commitments, was negative $33 million, compared with negative $132 million in the first quarter of 2021. The ACL was $514 million at March 31, 2022, compared with $695 million at March 31, 2021. The ratio of ACL to net loans and leases (ex-PPP) was 1.02% and 1.48% at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The provision for securities losses was less than $1 million during the first quarter of 2022 and 2021.
12
The total ACL was $514 million at March 31, 2022, compared with $695 million at March 31, 2021. The bar chart above illustrates the broad categories of change in the ACL from the prior year period. The second bar represents changes in economic forecasts and current economic conditions, which decreased the ACL by $141 million from the prior year quarter due to improvements in both realized economic results and forecasts, partially offset by economic uncertainty caused by inflation, supply chain disruptions, and the conflict in Eastern Europe.
The third bar represents changes in credit quality factors and includes risk-grade migration and specific reserves against loans, which, when combined, decreased the ACL by $16 million, indicating improvements in credit quality. Net charge-offs were $6 million, or 0.05% annualized of average loans (ex-PPP), in the first quarter of 2022, compared with net charge-offs of $8 million, or 0.07% annualized of average loans (ex-PPP), in the prior year quarter.
The fourth bar represents loan portfolio changes, driven by changes in portfolio mix, the aging of the portfolio, and other risk factors; all of which resulted in a $24 million reduction in the ACL.
See “Credit Risk Management” on page 20 and Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for more information on how we determine the appropriate level of the ALLL and the RULC.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income represents revenue we earn from products and services that generally have no associated interest rate or yield and is classified as either customer-related or noncustomer-related. Customer-related noninterest income excludes items such as securities gains and losses, dividends, insurance-related income, and mark-to-market adjustments on certain derivatives.
Total noninterest income decreased $27 million, or 16%, from $169 million during the prior year quarter. Noninterest income accounted for 21% and 24% of net revenue during the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following schedule presents a comparison of the major components of noninterest income.

Customer-related
Total customer-related noninterest income increased $18 million, or 14%, mainly due to increased card, retail and business banking, and wealth management activity, partially offset by a decrease in loan-related fees and income. Results for the first quarter of 2022 benefited from a one-time adjustment of approximately $6 million in commercial account fees.
Retail and business banking fees include overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, we expect to reduce the rate and frequency with which such fees are assessed, specifically to consumer accounts. Relative to current activity levels, we expect this will reduce our customer-related noninterest income by approximately $5 million per quarter.
Noncustomer-related
Total noncustomer-related noninterest income decreased $45 million, relative to the prior year quarter. Net securities gains and losses decreased $28 million, due to $17 million of negative mark-to-market adjustments primarily related to our SBIC investment in Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and an $11 million gain on the sale of Farmer Mac Class C stock recognized during the prior year period.
Fair value and nonhedge derivative income decreased $12 million from the prior year period. We recognized a $6 million gain during the quarter related to a credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) on client-related interest rate swaps, compared with an $18 million CVA gain in the prior year period. The CVA may fluctuate from period-to-period based on the credit quality of our clients and changes in interest rates, which impacts the value of, and our credit exposure to, the client-related interest rate swaps.
Noninterest Expense
During the first quarter of 2022, we made certain financial reporting reclassifications to noninterest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income, primarily to improve the presentation and disclosure of certain expenses related to our ongoing technology initiatives and investments and to provide a more relevant presentation of our business and operations. Other expense line items were also impacted by these reclassifications, which were adopted retrospectively to January 1, 2020.

1 For information on non-GAAP financial measures, see “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” on page 4.
Total noninterest expense increased $29 million, or 7%, relative to the prior year quarter. Salaries and benefits expense increased $24 million, or 8%, due to (1) the impact of inflationary and competitive labor market pressures on wages, (2) increases in commissions, (3) increases in incentive compensation accruals arising from improvements in anticipated full-year profitability, and (4) declines in deferred salaries primarily associated with PPP loans originated in the prior year period.
Other noninterest expense increased $7 million, or 47%, primarily due to lower expenses in the prior year period, which benefited from a $5 million valuation adjustment related to the termination of our defined benefit pension plan. Professional and legal services expense decreased $7 million, or 33%, due to third-party assistance associated with PPP loan forgiveness as well as various technology-related and other outsourced services incurred in the prior year period.
Adjusted noninterest expense increased $24 million, or 5%, to $464 million, compared with $440 million for the prior year period, driven primarily by the increase in salaries and benefits expense described previously. The efficiency ratio was 65.8%, compared with 63.5%. Given the seasonality associated with employee benefits, the efficiency ratio is generally elevated in the first quarter of the year. This effect was more pronounced in the first quarter of 2022 due to the aforementioned increases in incentive compensation accruals arising from improvements in anticipated full-year profitability. For information on non-GAAP financial measures, including differences between noninterest expense and adjusted noninterest expense, see page 4.

Preferred Stock Dividends
Preferred stock dividends totaled $8 million for both the first quarter of 2022 and 2021.
Technology Spend
As the banking industry continues to move toward information technology-based products and services, we recognize there are disparate ways of discussing expenditures associated with technology-related investments and operations. We generally describe these expenditures as total technology spend, which includes current period expenses reported on our consolidated statement of income, and capitalized investments, net of related amortization and depreciation, reported on our consolidated balance sheet. We believe these disclosures provide more relevant presentation and discussion regarding our technology-related investments and operations.
The following schedule provides information related to our technology spend:

Total technology spend | $ | 109 | $ | 108 | |||||||
Total technology spend represents expenditures for technology systems and infrastructure and is reported as a combination of the following:
•Technology, telecom, and information processing expense — includes expenses related to application software licensing and maintenance, related amortization, telecommunications, and data processing;
•Other technology-related expenses — includes related noncapitalized salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and professional and legal services; and
•Technology investments — includes capitalized technology infrastructure equipment, hardware, and purchased or internally developed software, less related amortization or depreciation.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Interest-Earning Assets
Interest-earning assets are assets that have associated interest rates or yields, and generally consist of money market investments, securities, loans, and leases. We strive to maintain a high level of interest-earning assets relative to total assets. For more information regarding the average balances, associated revenue generated, and the respective yields of our interest-earning assets, see the Consolidated Average Balance Sheet on page 11.
Investment Securities Portfolio
We invest in securities to generate interest income and to actively manage liquidity, interest rate, and credit risk. Refer to the “Liquidity Risk Management” section on page 31 for additional information about how we manage our liquidity risk. See Note 3 and Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on fair value measurements and the accounting for our investment securities portfolio.

The amortized cost of total held-to-maturity (“HTM”) and AFS investment securities increased $3.6 billion, or 15%, from December 31, 2021. Approximately 9% and 11% of the total HTM and AFS investment securities portfolio were floating rate at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The investment securities portfolio includes $437 million of net premium that is distributed across various asset classes. Total premium amortization for our investment securities was $26 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $28 million for the same prior year period. Refer to the “Capital Management” section on page 32 and Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more discussion on our investment securities portfolio and related unrealized gains/losses.
At March 31, 2022, based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy, 1.9% and 98.1% of the $26.1 billion AFS securities portfolio was valued at Level 1 and Level 2, respectively, compared with 0.6% and 99.4% at December 31, 2021. None of the AFS securities portfolio was valued at Level 3 for either period. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of fair value accounting.
Municipalities
We provide products and services to state and local governments (referred to collectively as “municipalities”), including deposit services, loans, and investment banking services. We also invest in securities issued by municipalities. The following schedule summarizes our exposure to state and local municipalities:
EXPOSURE TO MUNICIPALITIES

| Unfunded lending commitments | 341 | 280 | |||||||||
Total direct exposure to municipalities | $ | 6,856 | $ | 6,428 | |||||||
The municipal loan and lease portfolio is primarily secured by general obligations of municipal entities. Other types of collateral also include real estate, revenue pledges, or equipment. Our municipal loans and securities primarily relate to municipalities located within our geographic footprint.
17
At March 31, 2022, no municipal loans were on nonaccrual. Municipal securities are internally graded, similar to loans, using risk-grading systems which vary based on the size and type of credit risk exposure. The internal risk grades assigned to our municipal securities follow our definitions of Pass, Special Mention, and Substandard, which are consistent with published definitions of regulatory risk classifications. At March 31, 2022, all municipal securities were graded as Pass. See Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the credit quality of these municipal loans and securities.
Loan and Lease Portfolio
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the ratio of loans and leases to total assets was 56% and 55%, respectively. The largest loan category was commercial and industrial loans, which constituted 28% and 27% of our total loan portfolio for the same periods. The following schedule presents our loans and leases according to major portfolio segment, specific loan class, and percentage of total loans:

The loan and lease portfolio increased $391 million from December 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, commercial loans increased $1.1 billion, or 4%, driven largely by increases in commercial and industrial loans, owner-occupied loans, and municipal loans of $489 million, $293 million, and $286 million, respectively. Consumer loans increased $210 million, primarily due to increases in home equity credit lines, 1-4 family residential loans, and construction and other consumer real estate loans.

Other Noninterest-Bearing Investments
Other noninterest-bearing investments are equity investments that are held primarily for capital appreciation, dividends, or for certain regulatory requirements. The following schedule summarizes our related investments:

Total other noninterest-bearing investments decreased $22 million, or 3%, during the first three months of 2022, primarily due to a $14 million decrease in the value of our SBIC investments. This decrease was driven largely by $17 million of negative mark-to-market adjustments primarily related to our investment in Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Premises, Equipment, and Software
Net premises, equipment, and software increased $27 million, or 2%, from December 31, 2021, primarily due to capitalized costs related to the construction of a new corporate technology center in Midvale, Utah and a new corporate center for Vectra in Denver, Colorado. Both facilities are expected to be completed in mid- to late-2022.
We are also in the final phase of a three-phase project to replace our core loan and deposit banking systems, and are on track to convert our deposit servicing system in 2023. Capitalized costs associated with the core system replacement project generally carry a useful life of ten years, and are summarized in the following schedule.

Total deposits decreased $0.4 billion, or 1%, from December 31, 2021, primarily due to a $1.3 billion decrease in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $0.9 billion increase in noninterest-bearing deposits. Total deposits included $377 million and $381 million of brokered deposits for March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
19
respectively. See “Liquidity Risk Management” on page 31 for additional information on funding and borrowed funds.
Total U.S. time deposits that exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit of $250,000 were $526 million and $563 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The estimated total amount of uninsured deposits, including related interest accrued and unpaid, was $48 billion and $49 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management is an integral part of our operations and is a key determinant of our overall performance. We employ various strategies to reduce the risks to which our operations are exposed, including credit risk, market and interest rate risk, liquidity risk, strategic and business risk, operational risk, technology risk, cyber risk, capital/financial reporting risk, legal/compliance risk (including regulatory risk), and reputational risk. These risks are overseen by the various management committees of which the Enterprise Risk Management Committee is the focal point. For a more comprehensive discussion of these risks, see “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is the possibility of loss from the failure of a borrower, guarantor, or another obligor to fully perform under the terms of a credit-related contract. Credit risk arises primarily from our lending activities, as well as from off-balance sheet credit instruments. For a more comprehensive discussion of our credit risk management, see “Credit Risk Management” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
U.S. Government Agency Guaranteed Loans
We participate in various guaranteed lending programs sponsored by U.S. government agencies, such as the SBA, Federal Housing Authority, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Export-Import Bank of the U.S., and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At March 31, 2022, $1.5 billion of related loans were guaranteed, primarily by the SBA, and include $1.1 billion of PPP loans. The following schedule presents the composition of U.S. government agency guaranteed loans.

1 No other geography exceeds $62 million for all three loan types.
2 Delinquency rates include nonaccrual loans.
3At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no meaningful delinquency or nonaccrual activity for residential construction and land development loans.
At March 31, 2022, our CRE construction and land development and term loan portfolios represented approximately 24% of the total loan portfolio. The majority of our CRE loans are secured by real estate, which is primarily located within our geographic footprint. Approximately 21% of the CRE loan portfolio matures in the next 12 months. Construction and land development loans generally mature in 18 to 36 months and contain full or partial recourse guarantee structures with one- to five-year extension options or roll-to-perm options that often result in term debt. Term CRE loans generally mature within a three- to seven-year period and consist of full, partial, and non-recourse guarantee structures. Typical term CRE loan structures include annually tested operating covenants that require loan rebalancing based on minimum debt service coverage, debt yield, or loan-to-value tests.
Approximately $176 million, or 6%, of the commercial construction and land development portfolio at March 31, 2022 consists of acquisition and development loans. Most of these land acquisition and development loans are secured by specific retail, apartment, office, or other projects. For a more comprehensive discussion of CRE loans, see the “Commercial Real Estate Loans” section in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Consumer Loans
We generally originate first-lien residential home mortgages considered to be of prime quality. We generally hold variable-rate loans in our portfolio and sell “conforming” fixed-rate loans to third parties, including Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, for which we make representations and warranties that the loans meet certain underwriting and collateral documentation standards.
We also originate home equity credit lines (“HECL”). At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our HECL portfolio totaled $3.1 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively. The following schedule presents the composition of our HECL portfolio by lien status.
HECL PORTFOLIO BY LIEN STATUS
| (In millions) | March 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||||
| Secured by first liens | $ | 1,497 | $ | 1,503 | |||||||
| Secured by second (or junior) liens | 1,592 | 1,513 | |||||||||
| Total | $ | 3,089 | $ | 3,016 | |||||||
At March 31, 2022, loans representing less than 1% of the outstanding balance in the HECL portfolio were estimated to have combined loan-to-value (“CLTV”) ratios above 100%. An estimated CLTV ratio is the ratio of our loan plus any prior lien amounts divided by the estimated current collateral value. At origination, underwriting standards for the HECL portfolio generally include a maximum 80% CLTV with high credit scores.
Approximately 91% of our HECL portfolio is still in the draw period, and approximately 18% of those loans are scheduled to begin amortizing within the next five years. We believe the risk of loss and borrower default in the event of a loan becoming fully amortizing and the effect of significant interest rate changes is minimal. The ratio of HECL net charge-offs for the trailing twelve months to average balances at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 0.00% and (0.01)%, respectively. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the credit quality of the HECL portfolio.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and leases and other real estate owned (“OREO”) decreased to 0.49% at March 31, 2022, compared with 0.53% at December 31, 2021.
Total nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2022 decreased to $252 million from $271 million at December 31, 2021, reflecting credit quality improvements across most of our loan portfolios.
The balance of nonaccrual loans can decrease due to paydowns, charge-offs, and the return of loans to accrual status under certain conditions. If a nonaccrual loan is refinanced or restructured, the new note is immediately placed on nonaccrual. If a restructured loan performs under the new terms for at least a period of six months, the loan can be considered for return to accrual status. See “Restructured Loans” and Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on nonaccrual loans.

2 Does not include banking premises held for sale.
3 Includes $26 million and $35 million of PPP loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which we expect will be paid in full by either the borrower or the SBA.
Troubled Debt Restructured Loans
Loans may be modified in the normal course of business for competitive reasons or to strengthen our collateral position. Loan modifications and restructurings may also occur when the borrower experiences financial difficulty and needs temporary or permanent relief from the original contractual terms of the loan. Loans that have been modified to accommodate a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties, and for which we have granted a concession that we would not otherwise consider, are classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). TDRs totaled $316 million at March 31, 2022, compared with $326 million at December 31, 2021. Modifications that qualified for applicable accounting and regulatory exemption for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties exclusively related to the COVID-19 pandemic were not classified and reported as TDRs.
If the restructured loan performs for at least six months according to the modified terms, and an analysis of the customer’s financial condition indicates that we are reasonably assured of repayment of the modified principal and interest, the loan may be returned to accrual status. The borrower’s payment performance prior to and following the restructuring is taken into account to determine whether a loan should be returned to accrual status.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL includes the ALLL and the RULC. The ACL represents our estimate of current expected credit losses related to the loan and lease portfolio and unfunded lending commitments as of the balance sheet date. To determine the adequacy of the allowance, our loan and lease portfolio is segmented based on loan type.

3 Ratios are annualized for the periods presented except for the period representing the full twelve months.
26
The total ACL decreased to $514 million during the first three months of 2022, primarily due to improvements in economic forecasts and overall credit quality, partially offset by economic uncertainty caused by inflation, supply chain disruptions, and the conflict in Eastern Europe.
The RULC represents a reserve for potential losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments and standby letters of credit, and decreased $4 million during the first quarter of 2022. The reserve is separately recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in “Other liabilities,” and any related increases or decreases in the reserve are recorded on the consolidated income statement in “Provision for unfunded lending commitments.”
See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the ACL and credit trends experienced in each portfolio segment.
Interest Rate and Market Risk Management
Interest rate risk is the potential for reduced net interest income and other rate-sensitive income resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates. Market risk is the potential for loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of fixed-income securities, equity securities, other earning assets, and derivative financial instruments as a result of changes in interest rates or other factors. As a financial institution that engages in transactions involving various financial products, we are exposed to both interest rate risk and market risk. For a more comprehensive discussion of our interest rate and market risk management, see “Interest Rate and Market Risk Management” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Interest Rate Risk
Average total deposits increased $10.2 billion, or 14%, from March 31, 2021, and a significant portion of the deposits were invested in fixed-rate AFS securities, resulting in decreased asset sensitivity to rising rates. The lower asset sensitivity to rising rates is dependent upon the assumptions we used for deposit runoff and repricing behavior, which is more uncertain given the higher level of new deposits. We are less asset-sensitive to declining rates than rising rates due to the limited amount that the spread between the cost of deposits and the yield on money market investments could compress.
The following schedule presents derivatives utilized in our asset-liability management activities that are designated in qualifying hedging relationships at March 31, 2022. Included are the average outstanding derivative notional amounts for each period presented and the weighted average fixed-rate paid or received for each category of cash flow and fair value hedge. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the impact of these hedging relationships on interest income and expense.

1 Cash flow hedges consist of receive-fixed swaps hedging pools of floating-rate loans. Increases in the average outstanding notional are due to forward-starting interest rate swaps.
2 Fair value debt hedges consist of receive-fixed swaps hedging fixed-rate debt. The $500 million fair value debt hedge matures at the end of July 2029.
3 Fair value assets hedges consist of pay-fixed swaps hedging AFS fixed-rate securities. Increases in average outstanding notional are due to forward-starting interest rate swaps.
4 Represents the remaining three quarters of 2022.
Under most rising interest rate environments, we expect some customers to move balances from demand deposits to interest-bearing accounts such as money market, savings, or certificates of deposit. Our models are particularly sensitive to the assumption about the rate of such migration.
In addition, we assume a correlation, often referred to as a “deposit beta,” with respect to interest-bearing deposits, wherein the rates paid to customers change at a different pace when compared with changes in average benchmark interest rates. Generally, certificates of deposit are assumed to have a high correlation, while interest-on-checking accounts are assumed to have a lower correlation. Actual results may differ materially due to factors including the shape of the yield curve, competitive pricing, money supply, our credit worthiness, and so forth; however, we use our historical experience as well as industry data to inform our assumptions.
The migration and correlation assumptions previously discussed result in deposit durations presented in the following schedule:
DEPOSIT ASSUMPTIONS
| March 31, 2022 | ||||||||||||||
| Product | Effective duration (unchanged) | Effective duration (+200 bps) | ||||||||||||
| Demand deposits | 2.8 | % | 2.9 | % | ||||||||||
| Money market | 1.8 | % | 1.8 | % | ||||||||||
| Savings and interest-on-checking | 2.6 | % | 2.4 | % | ||||||||||
With interest rates forecast to rise more, the effective duration of deposits has shortened due to higher expected runoff and/or migration to more rate-sensitive deposit products.
Incorporating the assumptions previously discussed, the following schedule presents earnings at risk (“EaR”), or percentage change in net interest income, and our estimated percentage change in economic value of equity
28
(“EVE”); both EaR and EVE are based on a static balance sheet size under parallel interest rate changes ranging from -100 bps to +300 bps.

1 Assumes rates cannot go below zero in the negative rate shift.
For interest-bearing deposits with indeterminate maturity, the weighted average modeled beta is 26%. If the weighted average deposit beta were to increase to 37%, the EaR in the +100 bps rate shock would change from 7.9% to 6.0%.
The asset sensitivity, as measured by EaR, decreased during the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to (1) an increase in fixed-rate investment securities and receive-fixed interest rate swaps, (2) model tuning, and (3) a higher level of “base-case” net interest income, which reduced the percentage change for the same modeled dollar change in net interest income.
Our base-case net interest income simulation for the first quarter of 2023 indicates a 15% increase in net interest income, compared with the results for the first quarter of 2022 (ex-PPP). This base-case simulation assumes a static balance sheet and an unchanged interest rate curve at March 31, 2022. The modeled increase is notably larger than it was at December 31, 2021, primarily due to active balance sheet management during the first quarter of 2022, as well as a steeper yield curve at March 31, 2022, when compared with December 31, 2021.
We disclose asset sensitivity to parallel rate shocks, but interest rates rarely change in a parallel fashion. During the first quarter of 2022, medium- to long-term rates moved significantly, whereas short-term rate movements were muted. Net interest income in the base-case simulation benefited from longer-term rate increases, and if short-term rates increase as implied by forward rates, we anticipate corresponding increases in net interest income from the base case.
As described previously, the EaR analysis focuses on parallel rate shocks across the term structure of benchmark interest rates. In a non-parallel rate scenario where the overnight rate increases 200 bps, but the ten-year rate increases only 30 bps, the increase in EaR is modeled to be approximately two-thirds of the change associated with the parallel +200 bps rate change.
In the -100 bps rate shock, our models indicate that EVE would increase because we cap the value of our indeterminate deposits at their par value, or equivalently, we assume no premium would be required to dispose of these liabilities because depositors could be repaid at par. Since our assets increase in value as rates fall, and the majority of our liabilities are indeterminate deposits, EVE would increase disproportionately.
Our focus on business banking also plays a significant role in determining the nature of our asset-liability management posture. At March 31, 2022, $23 billion of our commercial lending and CRE loan balances were scheduled to reprice in the next six months. Of these variable-rate loans, approximately 99% are tied to either the prime rate, London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), or American Interbank Offered Rate (“AMERIBOR”). For these variable-rate loans, we have executed $3.3 billion of cash flow hedges by receiving fixed rates on interest rate swaps. Additionally, asset sensitivity is reduced due to $5 billion of variable-rate commercial and CRE loans being priced at floored rates at March 31, 2022, which were above the “index plus spread” rate by an average of 42 bps. At March 31, 2022, we also had $3 billion of variable-rate consumer loans scheduled to reprice in the next six months, and approximately $1 billion were priced at floored
29
rates, which were above the “index plus spread” rate by an average of 29 bps. See Notes 3 and 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding derivative instruments.
LIBOR Exposure
LIBOR is being phased out globally, and U.S. banking regulators instructed banks to cease entering into new lending arrangements using LIBOR no later than December 31, 2021, and migrate to alternative reference rates no later than June 2023. To facilitate the transition process, we instituted an enterprise-wide program to identify, assess, and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuance or unavailability of LIBOR, which includes active engagement with industry working groups and regulators. This program also includes active involvement of senior management with regular engagement from the Enterprise Risk Management Committee, and seeks to minimize client and internal business operational impacts, while providing reporting transparency, consistency, and a central governance model that aligns with accounting and regulatory guidance.
We have implemented processes, procedures, and systems to ensure contract risk is sufficiently mitigated. New originations, and any modifications or renewals of LIBOR-based contracts, contain fallback language to facilitate transition to an alternative reference rate. For our contracts that referenced LIBOR and had a duration beyond December 31, 2021, all fallback provisions and variations were identified and classified based upon those provisions. By the end of 2021, we had discontinued substantially all new originations referencing LIBOR.
We have a significant number of assets and liabilities that reference LIBOR. At March 31, 2022, we had approximately $30 billion in loans (mainly commercial loans), unfunded lending commitments, and securities referencing LIBOR. The amount of borrowed funds referencing LIBOR at March 31, 2022 was less than $1 billion. These amounts exclude derivative assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2022, the notional amount of our LIBOR-referenced interest rate derivative contracts was more than $13 billion, of which more than $12 billion related to contracts with central counterparty clearinghouses.
The adoption of alternative reference rates continues to evolve in the marketplace. We are positioned to support our customers’ needs by accommodating multiple alternative reference rates, including the Constant Maturity Treasury rate (“CMT”), the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) rate, AMERIBOR, SOFR, and the Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”). During the first quarter of 2022, we began to prompt our customers to either voluntarily modify their contracts and migrate to a reference rate other than LIBOR no later than June 2023, or be subject to the fallback provisions in their contracts. Voluntary modifications are expected to qualify for the available Tax Safe-Harbor provisions as allowed by Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidance.
We expect that customers who voluntarily migrate to an alternative reference rate will do so by the end of this year, and we expect the remaining customers to move to an alternative rate index in accordance with the relevant fallback provisions in their contracts prior to June 2023. For more information on the transition from LIBOR, see Risk Factors in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Market Risk – Fixed Income
We underwrite municipal and corporate securities. We also trade municipal, agency, and treasury securities. This underwriting and trading activity exposes us to a risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the prices of these fixed-income securities.
At March 31, 2022, we had $382 million of trading assets and $101 million of securities sold, not yet purchased, compared with $372 million and $254 million at December 31, 2021, respectively.
We are exposed to market risk through changes in fair value. This includes market risk for interest rate swaps used to hedge interest rate risk. Changes in the fair value of AFS securities and in interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) for each financial reporting period. During the first quarter of 2022, the after-tax change in AOCI attributable to AFS securities decreased by $1.1 billion, due largely to changes in the interest rate environment, compared with a $164 million decrease in the prior year period.
30
Market Risk – Equity Investments
We hold both direct and indirect investments in predominantly pre-public companies, primarily through various SBIC venture capital funds as a strategy to provide beneficial financing, growth, and expansion opportunities to diverse businesses generally in communities within our geographic footprint. Our equity exposure to these investments was $165 million and $179 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. On occasion, some of the companies within our SBIC investment may issue an initial public offering (“IPO”). In this case, the fund is generally subject to a lockout period before liquidating the investment, which can introduce additional market risk. See Note 3 of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the valuation of our SBIC investments.
Liquidity Risk Management
Overview
Liquidity refers to our ability to meet our cash, contractual, and collateral obligations, and to manage both expected and unexpected cash flows without adversely impacting our operations or financial strength. Sources of liquidity include deposits, borrowings, equity, and unencumbered assets, such as marketable loans and investment securities. For a more comprehensive discussion of our liquidity risk management, see “Liquidity Risk Management” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Strong deposit growth over the past year has contributed to a solid overall liquidity position. At March 31, 2022, our investment securities portfolio of $27.0 billion and cash and money market investments of $8.1 billion, collectively comprised 39% of total assets, compared with $24.9 billion of investment securities, and $13.0 billion of cash and money market investments, collectively comprising 41% of total assets at December 31, 2021. Given our investment securities portfolio is predominantly comprised of securities for which a strong repurchase market exists, we believe we can readily convert securities to cash to support loan growth through repurchase agreements rather than sales.
Liquidity Management Actions
During the first quarter of 2022, the primary sources of cash came from a significant decrease in money market investments, and net cash provided by operating activities. Uses of cash during the quarter included primarily an increase in investment securities, redemption of long-term debt, and a decrease in short-term borrowings. Cash payments for interest, reflected in operating expenses, were $11 million and $22 million for the first three months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Total deposits were $82.4 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $82.8 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to a $1.3 billion decrease in savings and money market deposits, partially offset by a $0.9 billion increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Our core deposits, consisting of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits under $250,000, were $81.5 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $81.9 billion at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, our loan to total deposit ratio remained relatively stable at 62%, compared with 61% at December 31, 2021.

The FHLB system and Federal Reserve Banks have been, and continue to be, a significant source of back-up liquidity and funding. We are a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, which allows member banks to borrow against their eligible loans and securities to satisfy liquidity and funding requirements. We are required to invest in FHLB and Federal Reserve stock to maintain our borrowing capacity. At March 31, 2022, our total investment in FHLB and Federal Reserve stock was $11 million and $71 million, respectively, compared with $11 million and $81 million at December 31, 2021.
The amount available for additional FHLB and Federal Reserve borrowings was $18.6 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $18.3 billion at December 31, 2021. Loans with a carrying value of approximately $26.8 billion at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were pledged at the FHLB and the Federal Reserve as collateral for potential borrowings. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no FHLB or Federal Reserve borrowings outstanding.
Our AFS investment securities are primarily held as a source of contingent liquidity. We target securities that can be easily turned into cash through repurchase agreements or sales, and whose liquidity value remains relatively stable during market disruptions. We manage our short-term funding needs through secured borrowing with the securities pledged as collateral. During the first quarter of 2022, our AFS securities balances increased $2.1 billion.
Total borrowed funds decreased $588 million during the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to the redemption of $290 million of the 4-year, 3.35% senior notes. The decrease in overall borrowed funds continues to reflect strong deposit growth.
We may, from time to time, issue additional preferred stock, senior or subordinated notes, or other forms of capital or debt instruments, depending on our capital, funding, asset-liability management, or other needs as market conditions warrant. These additional issuances may be subject to required regulatory approvals. We believe that our sources of available liquidity are adequate to meet all reasonably foreseeable short- and intermediate-term demands.
Capital Management
Overview
A strong capital position is vital to the achievement of our key corporate objectives, our continued profitability, and to promoting depositor and investor confidence. Our capital management objectives include: (1) consistently improving risk-adjusted returns on our shareholders' capital and appropriately managing capital distributions, (2) maintaining sufficient capital to support the current needs and growth of our businesses, and (3) fulfilling responsibilities to depositors and bondholders.
We continue to utilize stress testing as an important mechanism to inform our decisions on the appropriate level of capital, based upon actual and hypothetically stressed economic conditions, which are comparable in severity to the scenarios published by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”). The timing and amount of capital actions are subject to various factors, including our financial performance, business needs, prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, and the results of our internal stress testing, as well as Board and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) approval. Shares may be repurchased occasionally in the open market or through privately
32
negotiated transactions. For a more comprehensive discussion of our capital risk management, see “Capital Management” in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased $1.2 billion, or 16%, to $6.3 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $7.5 billion at December 31, 2021. Common stock and additional paid-in capital decreased $39 million, primarily due to common stock repurchases.
AOCI decreased to a loss of $1.3 billion, primarily due to decreases in the fair value of fixed-rate AFS securities as a result of changes in interest rates. These unrealized losses will not be recognized unless we sell the securities. We have not initiated any sales of AFS securities, nor do we currently intend to sell any identified securities with unrealized losses. Additionally, changes in AOCI do not impact our regulatory capital ratios. Refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more discussion on our investment securities portfolio and their unrealized gains/losses.
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding decreased 12.2 million from the same prior year period, primarily due to common stock repurchases. During the first quarter of 2022, we repurchased 0.8 million common shares outstanding for $50 million. In April 2022, the Board approved a plan to repurchase up to $50 million of common shares outstanding during the second quarter of 2022.

Under the OCC’s “Earnings Limitation Rule,” our dividend payments are restricted to an amount equal to the sum of the total of (1) our net income for that year, and (2) retained earnings for the preceding two years, unless the OCC approves the declaration and payment of dividends in excess of such amount. At March 31, 2022, we had $1.3 billion of retained net profits available for distribution.
33
We paid common dividends of $58 million, or $0.38 per share, during the first quarter of 2022. In April 2022, the Board declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.38 per common share, payable on May 26, 2022, to shareholders of record on May 19, 2022. We also paid dividends on preferred stock of $8 million during the first quarter of 2022. See Note 9 for additional information about our capital management actions.
Basel III
We are subject to Basel III capital requirements to maintain adequate levels of capital as measured by several regulatory capital ratios. At March 31, 2022, we met all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III capital rules. Based on our internal stress testing and other assessments of capital adequacy, we believe we hold capital sufficiently in excess of internal and regulatory requirements for well-capitalized banks. The following schedule presents our capital and other performance ratios.

Our regulatory tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital was $6.6 billion and $7.7 billion at March 31, 2022, compared with $6.5 billion and $7.7 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2021. See the “Supervision and Regulation” section and Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2021 Form 10-K for more information about our compliance with the Basel III capital requirements.
Deposit-driven balance sheet growth over the past year has resulted in a modest reduction in our risk-weighted regulatory capital ratios, and a larger reduction in our Tier 1 leverage ratio, as the denominator for this ratio is not adjusted for risk. As a result, our Tier 1 leverage ratio declined to 7.3% at March 31, 2022, from 8.3% at March 31, 2021.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 2022
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Zions Bancorporation, National Association and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Zions Bancorporation, N.A.,” “the Bank,” “we,” “our,” “us”) have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. References to GAAP, including standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), are made according to sections of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in our 2021 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation, where applicable. These reclassifications did not affect net income or shareholders’ equity.
Effective for the first quarter of 2022, we made certain financial reporting changes and reclassifications to noninterest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. These financial reporting changes were made primarily to improve the presentation and disclosure of certain expenses related to our ongoing technology initiatives. Other noninterest expense line items were impacted by these changes and reclassifications. These changes and reclassifications (1) were adopted retrospectively to January 1, 2020, (2) reflect changes only to noninterest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, and (3) do not impact net income, net interest income, or noninterest income.
Zions Bancorporation, N.A. is a commercial bank headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. We provide a wide range of banking products and related services in 11 Western and Southwestern states through seven separately managed bank divisions, which we refer to as “affiliates,” or “affiliate banks,” each with its own local branding and management team. These include Zions Bank, in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming; Amegy Bank (“Amegy”), in Texas; California Bank & Trust (“CB&T”); National Bank of Arizona (“NBAZ”); Nevada State Bank (“NSB”); Vectra Bank Colorado (“Vectra”), in Colorado and New Mexico; and The Commerce Bank of Washington (“TCBW”) which operates under that name in Washington and under the name The Commerce Bank of Oregon in Oregon.

Standards not yet adopted by the Bank | ||||||||||||||||||||
ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures | This accounting standards update (“ASU”) eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors that have adopted ASC 326 (“CECL”), and eliminates certain existing TDR disclosures while requiring enhanced disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The new guidance also requires public companies to present current-period gross write-offs (on a current year-to-date basis for interim-period disclosures) by year of origination in their vintage disclosures. The new guidance is effective for calendar year-end public companies beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. | Periods beginning after December 15, 2022 | We have established an implementation team to ensure that the necessary data is captured in order to comply with the new disclosure requirements. The overall effect of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. We do not plan to early adopt this new guidance. | |||||||||||||||||

3. FAIR VALUE
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. For more information about our valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value hierarchy, see Note 3 of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including impaired loans that have been measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, other real estate owned (“OREO”), and nonmarketable equity securities. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve write-downs of individual assets or the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting. At March 31, 2022, we had no assets or liabilities that had fair value changes measured on a nonrecurring basis. At December 31, 2021, we had $2 million of collateral-dependent loans valued as level 2 measurements, and recognized $3 million of losses from fair value changes related to these loans. The previous fair values may not be current as of the dates indicated, but rather as of the most recent date the fair value change occurred. For additional information regarding the measurement of fair value for impaired loans, collateral-dependent loans, and OREO, see Note 3 of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Security repurchase and reverse repurchase (“resell”) agreements are offset, when applicable, in the balance sheet according to master netting agreements. Security repurchase agreements are included with “Federal funds and other short-term borrowings.” Derivative instruments may be offset under their master netting agreements; however, for accounting purposes, we present these items on a gross basis in our balance sheet. See Note 7 for further information regarding derivative instruments.
5. INVESTMENTS
Investment Securities
Investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity (“HTM”), available-for sale (“AFS”), or trading. HTM securities, which management has the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. The amortized cost amounts represent the original cost of the investments, adjusted for related amortization or accretion of any purchase premiums or discounts, and for any impairment losses, including credit-related impairment. AFS securities are carried at fair value and changes in fair value (unrealized gains and losses) are reported as net increases or decreases to accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of related taxes. Trading securities are carried at fair value with gains and losses recognized in current period earnings. The carrying values of our securities do not include accrued interest receivables of $71 million and $65 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These receivables are presented on the consolidated balance sheet in “Other
44
assets.” See Note 5 of our 2021 Form 10-K for more information related to our accounting for investment securities, and see Note 3 of our 2021 Form 10-K for description of our process to estimate fair value for investment securities.

Approximately 455 and 137 HTM and 3,059 and 1,302 AFS investment securities were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Impairment
We review investment securities quarterly on an individual security basis for the presence of impairment. For additional information on our policy and impairment evaluation process for investment securities, see Note 5 of our 2021 Form 10-K.
AFS Impairment
We did not recognize any impairment on our AFS investment securities portfolio during the first three months of 2022. Unrealized losses primarily relate to changes in interest rates subsequent to purchase and are not attributable to credit. At March 31, 2022, we had not initiated any sales of AFS securities, nor did we have an intent to sell any identified securities with unrealized losses. We do not believe it is more likely than not that we would be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.
HTM Impairment
For HTM securities, the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is assessed consistent with the approach described in Note 6 for loans and leases carried at amortized cost. The ACL on HTM securities was less than $1 million at March 31, 2022. All HTM securities were risk-graded as "Pass" in terms of credit quality and none were past due at March 31, 2022. The amortized cost basis of HTM securities categorized by year acquired is summarized in the following schedule:

Total loans and leases | $ | $ | |||||||||
Loans and leases are presented at their amortized cost basis, which includes net unamortized purchase premiums, discounts, and deferred loan fees and costs totaling $59 million and $83 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Amortized cost basis does not include accrued interest receivables of $157 million and $161 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These receivables are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet within the “Other assets” line item.
Municipal loans generally include loans to state and local governments (“municipalities”) with the debt service being repaid from general funds or pledged revenues of the municipal entity, or to private commercial entities or 501(c)(3) not-for-profit entities utilizing a pass-through municipal entity to achieve favorable tax treatment.
Land acquisition and development loans included in the construction and land development loan portfolio were $176 million at March 31, 2022 and $160 million at December 31, 2021.
Loans with a carrying value of $26.8
We sold loans totaling $336 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $423 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, that were classified as loans held for sale. The sold loans were derecognized from the balance sheet. Loans classified as loans held for sale primarily consist of conforming residential mortgages and the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans that are primarily sold to U.S. government agencies or participated to third parties. They do not consist of loans from the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). At times, we have continuing involvement in the sold loans in the form of servicing rights or guarantees. Amounts added to loans held for sale during these same periods were $297 million and $426 million, respectively. See Note 5 for further information regarding guaranteed securities.
49
The principal balance of sold loans for which we retain servicing was approximately $3.5 billion at March 31, 2022, and $3.3 billion at December 31, 2021. Income from loans sold, excluding servicing, was $6 million and $11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”), which consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments (“RULC”), represents our estimate of current expected credit losses related to the loan and lease portfolio and unfunded lending commitments as of the balance sheet date. For additional information regarding our policies and methodologies used to estimate the ACL, see Note 6 of our 2021 Form 10-K.
The ACL for AFS and HTM debt securities is estimated separately from loans. For HTM securities, the ACL is estimated consistent with the approach for loans carried at amortized cost. See Note 5 for further discussion of our estimate of expected credit losses on AFS securities and disclosures related to AFS and HTM securities.

Nonaccrual Loans
Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when payment in full of principal and interest is not expected, or the loan is 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. Factors we consider in determining whether a loan is placed on nonaccrual include delinquency status, collateral value, borrower or guarantor financial statement information, bankruptcy status, and other information which would indicate that the full and timely collection of interest and principal is uncertain.
A nonaccrual loan may be returned to accrual status when (1) all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, (2) the loan, if secured, is well-secured, (3) the borrower has paid according to the contractual terms for a minimum of six months, and (4) an analysis of the borrower indicates a reasonable assurance of the borrower's ability and willingness to maintain payments.

For accruing loans, interest is accrued and interest payments are recognized into interest income according to the contractual loan agreement. For nonaccruing loans, the accrual of interest is discontinued, any uncollected or accrued interest is reversed or written-off from interest income in a timely manner (generally within one month), and any payments received on these loans are not recognized into interest income, but are applied as a reduction to the principal outstanding. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there was no

Past Due Loans
Closed-end loans with payments scheduled monthly are reported as past due when the borrower is in arrears for two or more monthly payments. Similarly, open-end credits, such as bankcard and other revolving credit plans, are reported as past due when the minimum payment has not been made for two or more billing cycles. Other multi-payment obligations (i.e., quarterly, semi-annual, etc.), single payment, and demand notes, are reported as past due when either principal or interest is due and unpaid for a period of 30 days or more.

Credit Quality Indicators
In addition to the nonaccrual and past due criteria, we also analyze loans using loan risk-grading systems, which vary based on the size and type of credit risk exposure. The internal risk grades assigned to loans follow our definition of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful, which are consistent with published definitions of regulatory risk classifications.
•Pass – A Pass asset is higher-quality and does not fit any of the other categories described below. The likelihood of loss is considered low.
•Special Mention – A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in our credit position at some future date.
•Substandard – A Substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified have well-defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that we may sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.
•Doubtful – A Doubtful asset has all the weaknesses inherent in a Substandard asset with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable.
There were no
We generally assign internal risk grades to commercial and commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans with commitments greater than $1 million based on financial and statistical models, individual credit analysis, and loan officer experience and judgment. For these larger loans, we assign one of multiple risk grades within the Pass classification or one of the risk classifications described previously. We confirm our internal risk grades quarterly, or as soon as we identify information that affects the credit risk of the loan.
For consumer loans and for commercial and CRE loans with commitments less than or equal to $1 million, we generally assign internal risk grades similar to those described previously based on automated rules that depend on refreshed credit scores, payment performance, and other risk indicators. These are generally assigned either a Pass, Special Mention, or Substandard grade, and are reviewed as we identify information that might warrant a grade change.

Modified and Restructured Loans
Loans may be modified in the normal course of business for competitive reasons or to strengthen our collateral position. Loan modifications and restructurings may also occur when the borrower experiences financial difficulty and needs temporary or permanent relief from the original contractual terms of the loan. Loans that have been modified to accommodate a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties, and for which we have granted a concession that we would not otherwise consider, are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). For further discussion of our policies and processes regarding TDRs, see Note 6 of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Unfunded lending commitments on TDRs totaled $4 million and $10 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The total amortized cost of all TDRs in which interest rates were modified below market was $92 million at March 31, 2022 and $100 million at December 31, 2021. These loans are included in the previous schedule in the columns for interest rate below market and multiple modification types.
The net financial impact on interest income due to interest rate modifications below market for accruing TDRs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was not significant.
On an ongoing basis, we monitor the performance of all TDRs according to their restructured terms. Subsequent payment default is defined in terms of delinquency, when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or more for commercial loans, or 60 days or more for consumer loans.

Collateral-Dependent Loans
As discussed previously, when a loan is individually evaluated for expected credit losses, we estimate a specific reserve for the loan based on the projected present value of the loan’s future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral.
Select information on loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, including the type of collateral and the extent to which the collateral secures the loans, is summarized as follows:

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Accounting
Our primary objective for using derivatives is to manage risks, primarily interest rate risk. We use derivatives to manage volatility in interest income, interest expense, earnings, and capital by adjusting our interest rate sensitivity to minimize the impact of fluctuations in interest rates. Derivatives are used to stabilize forecasted interest income from variable-rate assets and to modify the coupon or the duration of fixed-rate financial assets or liabilities as we consider advisable. We also assist clients with their risk management needs through the use of derivatives. For a more detailed discussion of the use of and accounting policies regarding derivative instruments, see Note 7 of our 2021 Form 10-K.
Fair Value Hedges of Liabilities – At March 31, 2022, we had one receive-fixed interest rate swap with a notional amount of $500 million designated in a qualifying fair value hedge relationship of fixed-rate debt. The receive-fixed interest rate swap effectively converts the interest on our fixed-rate debt to floating. During the first quarter of 2022, derivatives designated as fair value hedges of debt decreased in value by $7 million which was offset by changes in the fair value of the hedged debt instruments as shown in the schedules below. During the first quarter of 2022, we fully amortized the remaining $1 million of cumulative unamortized debt basis adjustments related to previously terminated fair value hedges of debt.
Fair Value Hedges of Assets – At March 31, 2022, we had pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $990 million designated as fair value hedges of certain AFS securities. These swaps effectively convert the fixed interest income to a floating rate on the hedged portion of the securities. During the first quarter of 2022, derivatives designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate AFS securities increased in value by $52 million, which was offset by changes in value of the hedged securities, as shown in the schedules below. We had $7 million of unamortized basis adjustments to AFS securities from previously designated fair value hedges.
Cash Flow Hedges – At March 31, 2022, we had $6 billion notional amount of receive-fixed interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges of pools of floating-rate commercial loans. Also during the quarter, our cash flow hedge portfolio decreased in value by $192 million, which was recorded in AOCI. The amounts deferred in AOCI are reclassified into earnings in the periods in which the hedged interest receipts occur (i.e., when the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings).
Collateral and Credit Risk
Exposure to credit risk arises from the possibility of nonperformance by counterparties. No significant losses on derivative instruments have occurred as a result of counterparty nonperformance. For a more detailed discussion of collateral and credit risk related to our derivative contracts, see Note 7 of our 2021 Form 10-K.
Our derivative contracts require us to pledge collateral for derivatives that are in a net liability position at a given balance sheet date. Certain of these derivative contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features that include the requirement to maintain a minimum debt credit rating. We may be required to pledge additional collateral if a credit-risk-related feature were triggered, such as a downgrade of our credit rating. However, in past situations, not all counterparties have demanded that additional collateral be pledged when provided for by the contractual terms. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of our derivative liabilities was $179 million, for which we were required to pledge cash collateral of $118 million in the normal course of business. If our credit rating were downgraded one notch by either Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s at March 31, 2022, there would likely be $1 million of additional collateral required to be pledged.

1 Customer-facing interest rate derivatives include a net credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) of $3 million, reducing the fair value of the liability at March 31, 2022, and $3 million, reducing the fair value of the asset at December 31, 2021. These adjustments are required to reflect both our nonperformance risk and that of the respective counterparty.
2 The fair value amounts for these derivatives do not include the settlement amounts for those trades that are centrally cleared. Once the settlement amounts with the clearing houses are included the derivative fair values would be the following:

1 For the 12 months following March 31, 2022, we estimate that $26 million of losses will be reclassified from AOCI into interest income, compared with an estimate of $57 million of gains as of March 31, 2021.
2 Adjustment to interest expense resulting from the amortization of the debt basis adjustment on fixed-rate debt previously hedged by terminated receive-fixed interest rate.
3 The cumulative unamortized basis adjustment from previously terminated or redesignated fair value hedges at March 31, 2022 is $0 and $7 million of terminated fair value debt and asset hedges, respectively, compared with $9 million and $7 million as of March 31, 2021. The remaining basis adjustment for terminated fair value debt hedges was fully amortized during the first quarter of 2022. The amortization of the cumulative unamortized basis adjustment from asset hedges is not shown in the schedules because it is not significant.

8. LEASES
We have operating and finance leases for branches, corporate offices, and data centers. We do not have significant equipment leases. At March 31, 2022, we had 416 branches, of which 273 are owned and 143 are leased. We lease our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. The remaining maturities of our lease commitments range from the year 2022 to 2062, and some lease arrangements include options to extend or terminate the leases.
All leases with lease terms greater than twelve months are reported as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset. We present ROU assets for operating leases and finance leases on the consolidated balance sheet in “Other assets,” and “Premises, equipment and software, net,” respectively. The corresponding liabilities for those leases are presented in “Other liabilities,” and “Long-term debt.” For more information about our lease policies, see Note 8 of our 2021 Form 10-K.

We originated equipment leases, considered to be sales-type leases or direct financing leases, totaling $318 million and $327 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We recorded income of $3
9. LONG-TERM DEBT AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Long-Term Debt
The long-term debt carrying values in the following schedule represent the par value of the debt, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, unamortized debt issuance costs, and basis adjustments for interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges.

The decrease in long-term debt was primarily due to the redemption of $290 million of the 4-year, 3.35 % senior notes during the first quarter of 2022.
Common Stock
Our common stock is traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“NASDAQ”) Global Select Market. At March 31, 2022, there were 151.3 million shares of $0.001 par value common stock outstanding. Common stock and additional paid-in capital totaled $1.9 billion at March 31, 2022, which decreased $39 million, or 2 %, from December 31, 2021, primarily due to common stock repurchases. During the first three months of 2022, we repurchased 0.8 million common shares outstanding for $50 million at an average price of $65.31 per share.
66
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) decreased to a loss of $1.3 billion at March 31, 2022, primarily due to decreases in the fair value of fixed-rate available-for-sale securities as a result of changes in interest rates. Changes in AOCI by component are as follows:

At March 31, 2022, the liability for the guarantees associated with the standby letters of credit was $4 million, which consisted of $2 million attributable to the RULC, and $2 million of deferred commitment fees.
Legal Matters
We are subject to litigation in court and arbitral proceedings, as well as proceedings, investigations, examinations and other actions brought or considered by governmental and self-regulatory agencies. Litigation may relate to lending, deposit and other customer relationships, vendor and contractual issues, employee matters, intellectual property matters, personal injuries and torts, regulatory and legal compliance, and other matters. While most matters relate to individual claims, we are also subject to putative class action claims and similar broader claims. Proceedings, investigations, examinations and other actions brought or considered by governmental and self-regulatory agencies may relate to our banking, investment advisory, trust, securities, and other products and services; our customers’ involvement in money laundering, fraud, securities violations and other illicit activities or our policies and practices relating to such customer activities; and our compliance with the broad range of banking, securities and other laws and regulations applicable to us. At any given time, we may be in the process of responding to subpoenas, requests for documents, data and testimony relating to such matters and engaging in discussions to resolve the matters.
At March 31, 2022, we were subject to the following material litigation or governmental inquiries:
•a civil suit, JTS Communities, Inc. et. al v. CB&T, Jun Enkoji and Dawn Satow, brought against us in the Superior Court for Sacramento County, California in June 2017. In this case four investors in our former customer, International Manufacturing Group (“IMG”) seek to hold us liable for losses arising from their investments in that company, alleging that we conspired with and knowingly assisted IMG and its principal in furtherance of an alleged Ponzi scheme. In March 2022, the parties participated in mediation, which resulted in a binding settlement agreement. Our insurers are responsible for the payment of the settlement amount under applicable policies. The settlement is not expected to have a significant financial impact on the Bank.
•a civil class action lawsuit, Evans v. CB&T, brought against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California in May 2017. This case was filed on behalf of a class of up to 50 investors in IMG and seeks to hold us liable for losses of class members arising from their investments in IMG, alleging that we conspired with and knowingly assisted IMG and its principal in furtherance of an alleged Ponzi scheme. In December 2017, the District Court dismissed all claims against the Bank. In January 2018, the plaintiff filed an appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appeal was heard in early April 2019 with the Court of Appeals reversing the trial court’s dismissal. In March 2022, the parties participated in mediation and an agreement was reached in principle. Our insurers are responsible for the payment of the settlement amount under applicable policies. The settlement agreement will be submitted to the court for its preliminary approval of the agreement and notification of the putative class. There can be no assurance that the proposed settlement will result in a definitive agreement, that the conditions to the settlement will be met or the settlement will be approved by the court. If completed, the proposed settlement is not expected to have a significant financial impact on the Bank.
•two civil cases, Lifescan Inc. and Johnson & Johnson Health Care Services v. Jeffrey Smith, et. al., brought against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in December 2017, and Roche Diagnostics and Roche Diabetes Care Inc. v. Jeffrey C. Smith, et. al., brought against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in March 2019. In these cases, certain manufacturers and distributors of medical products seek to hold us liable for allegedly fraudulent practices of a borrower of the Bank who filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017. The cases are in early phases, with initial motion practice and discovery underway in the Lifescan case. Trial has not been scheduled in either case.
•a civil class action lawsuit, Gregory, et. al. v. Zions Bancorporation, brought against us in the United States District Court for Utah in January 2019. This case was filed on behalf of investors in Rust Rare Coin, Inc., alleging that we aided and abetted a Ponzi scheme fraud perpetrated by Rust Rare Coin, a Zions Bank customer.
68
The case follows civil actions and the establishment of a receivership for Rust Rare Coin by The Commodities Futures Trading Commission and the Utah Division of Securities in November 2018, as well as a separate suit brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) against Rust Rare Coin and its principal, Gaylen Rust. During the third quarter of 2020, the Court granted our motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' claims in part, dismissing claims relating to fraud and fiduciary duty, but allowing a claim for aiding and abetting conversion to proceed. On January 14, 2022, the parties notified the court they reached a settlement in principle and the parties are preparing to submit a proposed settlement agreement for the court’s preliminary approval of the agreement and notification of the putative class. There can be no assurance that the proposed settlement will result in a definitive agreement, that the conditions to the settlement will be met or the settlement will be approved by the court. If completed, the proposed settlement is not expected to have a significant financial impact on the Bank.
•Five civil class action cases have been filed against us by the same plaintiffs’ attorney, seeking to hold the Bank liable for practices relating to, and disclosures in, its deposit agreement pertaining to fees. Sipple v. Zions Bancorporation, N.A. was brought against us in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada in February 2021 with respect to foreign transaction fees. The following four cases pertain to insufficient fund fees and have similar or overlapping claims: Ward v. Zions Bancorporation, N.A. was brought against us in federal court in the District of Arizona in May 2021; this case was dismissed by the court in February 2022, but the plaintiff has appealed. Thornton v. Zions Bancorporation, N.A. was brought against us in federal court in the District of Utah in June 2021; the attorney bringing this case took action to dismiss this case in February 2022. Christensen v. Zions Bancorporation, N.A. was brought against us in California state court in November 2021 and removed to federal court in the Southern District of California in January 2022. Covell v. Zions Bancorporation, N.A. was brought against us in federal court in the Southern District of California in April 2022. These cases are all in early phases of litigation.
At least quarterly, we review outstanding and new legal matters, utilizing then available information. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, if we determine that a loss from a matter is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we establish an accrual for the loss. In the absence of such a determination, no accrual is made. Once established, accruals are adjusted to reflect developments relating to the matters.
In our review, we also assess whether we can determine the range of reasonably possible losses for significant matters in which we are unable to determine that the likelihood of a loss is remote. Because of the difficulty of predicting the outcome of legal matters, discussed subsequently, we are able to meaningfully estimate such a range only for a limited number of matters. Based on information available at March 31, 2022, we estimated that the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for those matters to be from $0 million to roughly $10 million in excess of amounts accrued. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those matters for which a meaningful estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent our maximum loss exposure.
Based on our current knowledge, we believe that our current estimated liability for litigation and other legal actions and claims, reflected in our accruals and determined in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, is adequate and that liabilities in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, arising from litigation and other legal actions and claims for which an estimate as previously described is possible, will not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in light of the significant uncertainties involved in these matters, and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for any given reporting period.
Any estimate or determination relating to the future resolution of litigation, arbitration, governmental or self-regulatory examinations, investigations or actions or similar matters is inherently uncertain and involves significant judgment. This is particularly true in the early stages of a legal matter, when legal issues and facts have not been well articulated, reviewed, analyzed, and vetted through discovery, preparation for trial or hearings, substantive and

11. REVENUE RECOGNITION
We derive our revenue primarily from interest income on loans and securities, which was approximately 79 % of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2022. Only noninterest income is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers in scope of ASC 606. For more information about our revenue recognition from contracts, see Note 17 of our 2021 Form 10-K.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The schedule below presents noninterest income and net revenue by our operating business segments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation, where applicable. These reclassifications did not affect net income or shareholders’ equity.

Revenue from contracts with customers did not generate significant contract assets and liabilities. Contract receivables are included in “Other assets” on the consolidated balance sheet. Payment terms vary by services offered, and the timing between completion of performance obligations and payment is typically not significant.
12. INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate was 20.4 % for the first quarter of 2022, compared with 21.7 % for the first quarter of 2021. These rates were reduced by nontaxable municipal interest income and nontaxable income from certain bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), and were increased by the non-deductibility of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) premiums, certain executive compensation plans, and other fringe benefits. The tax rate for the first quarter 2022 was lower than the tax rate for the same prior year period, primarily as a result of the proportional increase in nontaxable items and tax credits relative to pretax book income.
At March 31, 2022, we had a net deferred tax asset (“DTA”) totaling $467 million, compared with $96 million at December 31, 2021. On the consolidated balance sheet, the net DTA is included in “Other assets.” The increase in the net DTA was driven largely by the increase in unrealized losses in AOCI associated with investment securities and derivative instruments, and was partially offset by the negative provision for credit losses and a decrease in deferred compensation.

14. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
We manage our operations with a primary focus on geographic area. We conduct our operations primarily through seven separately managed affiliate banks, each with its own local branding and management team, including Zions Bank, Amegy Bank, California Bank & Trust, National Bank of Arizona, Nevada State Bank, Vectra Bank Colorado, and The Commerce Bank of Washington. These affiliate banks comprise our primary business segments. Performance assessment and resource allocation are based upon this geographic structure. The operating segment identified as “Other” includes certain non-bank financial service subsidiaries, centralized back-office functions, and eliminations of transactions between segments.
We allocate the cost of centrally provided services to the business segments based upon estimated or actual usage of those services. We also allocate capital based on the risk-weighted assets held at each business segment. We use an
72
internal funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) allocation system and process to report results of operations for business segments, which is continually refined. Total average loans and deposits presented for the business segments include insignificant intercompany amounts between business segments and may also include deposits with the “Other” segment.
At March 31, 2022, Zions Bank operated 96 branches in Utah, 25 branches in Idaho, and one branch in Wyoming. Amegy operated 75 branches in Texas. CB&T operated 82 branches in California. NBAZ operated 56 branches in Arizona. NSB operated 43 branches in Nevada. Vectra operated 34 branches in Colorado and one branch in New Mexico. TCBW operated two branches in Washington and one branch in Oregon.
Transactions between business segments are primarily conducted at fair value, resulting in profits that are eliminated for reporting consolidated results of operations. The following schedule presents average loans, average deposits, and income before income taxes because we use these metrics when evaluating performance and making decisions pertaining to the business segments. The condensed statement of income identifies the components of income and expense which affect the operating amounts presented in the “Other” segment.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate and market risks are among the most significant risks regularly undertaken by us, and they are closely monitored as previously discussed. A discussion regarding our management of interest rate and market risk is included in the section entitled “Interest Rate and Market Risk Management” in this Form 10-Q.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at March 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at March 31, 2022. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information contained in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factor supplements the risk factors disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the retaliatory measures imposed by the U.S., U.K., European Union and other countries and the responses of Russia to such measures have caused significant disruptions to domestic and foreign economies.
The Russia and Ukraine conflict has created new risks for global markets, trade, economic conditions, cybersecurity, and similar concerns. For example, the conflict could affect the availability and price of commodities and products, adversely affecting supply chains and increasing inflationary pressures; the value of currencies, interest rates and other components of financial markets; and, if the conflict escalates, cyberattacks that could result in severe costs and disruptions to governmental entities and companies and their operations. The impact of the conflict and retaliatory measures is continually evolving and cannot be predicted with certainty. It is likely that the conflict will continue to affect the global political order and global and domestic markets for a substantial period of time, regardless of when the conflict itself ends.
While these events have not materially interrupted our operations, these or future developments resulting from the Russia and Ukraine conflict, such as cyberattacks on the U.S., us, our customers, or our vendors, could make it difficult to conduct business activities for us, our customers, or our vendors.
