Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are described in Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Form 10-K"). Updates to our significant accounting policies described below reflect the impact of the Company's transfer of $2.3 billion in fair value of debt securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity effective June 1, 2022.

Transfer Between Categories of Debt Securities

Upon transfer of a debt security from the available-for-sale category to the held-to-maturity category, the security's new amortized cost is reset to fair value, reduced by any previous write-offs but excluding any allowance for credit losses. Any associated unrealized gains or losses on such investments as of the date of transfer become part of the security's amortized cost and are subsequently amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the securities as effective yield adjustments using the interest method. In addition, the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income on the date of transfer are also subsequently amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the securities as effective yield adjustments using the interest method. For transfers of securities from the available-for-sale category to the held-to-maturity category, any allowance for credit losses that was previously recorded under the available-for-sale model is reversed and an allowance for credit losses is subsequently recorded under the held-to-maturity debt security model. The reversal and re-establishment of the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the "Provisions for credit losses" on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities

Debt securities that the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses. Held-to-maturity debt securities are generally placed on nonaccrual status using factors similar to those described for loans. The amortized cost of the Company's held-to-maturity debt securities excludes accrued interest receivable, which is included in "Other assets" on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities, as the Company reverses any accrued interest against interest income if a debt security is placed on nonaccrual status. Any cash collected on nonaccrual held-to-maturity securities is applied to reduce the security's amortized cost basis and not as interest income. Generally, the Company returns a held-to-maturity security to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current under the contractual terms of the security, and the collectability of remaining principal and interest is no longer doubtful.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities

The ACL for held-to-maturity debt securities is recorded at the time of purchase, acquisition or when the Company designates securities as held-to-maturity, representing the Company's best estimate of current expected credit losses as of the date of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For each major held-to-maturity debt security type, the allowance for credit losses is estimated collectively for groups of securities with similar risk characteristics. For debt securities that do not share similar risk characteristics, the losses are estimated individually. Debt securities that are either guaranteed or issued by the U.S. government or government agency, are highly rated by major rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses are an example of such securities to which the Company applies a zero credit loss assumption. Any expected credit loss is provided through the allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities and deducted from the amortized cost basis of the security, so that the balance sheet reflects the net amount that the Company expects to collect.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2022

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company partially adopted ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326),” specifically the amendment related to the vintage disclosures, which requires creditors that are public entities to disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326-20, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measured at Amortized Cost.” The amendment also eliminates the disclosure of gross recoveries by year of origination previously presented in Example 15 in ASC 326-20-50-79, since it is not required under the guidance in ASC 326-20-50-6. The Company updated the vintage table disclosure in Note 4. Loans and Leases to present only current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Standard	Description	Date	or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)" and ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope)"	This standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other agreements affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest reference rates. For agreements that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance: (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered “minor” so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2021-01 clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. Specifically, certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective immediately, as of March 12, 2020, and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into on or before December 31, 2022. ASU 2021-01 is also effective immediately. Entities may elect to apply the amendments on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021 and up to December 31, 2022.	Effective upon the issuance date of March 12, 2020, and once adopted, will apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into on or before December 31, 2022.	The Company has established a cross-functional project team and implementation plan to facilitate the LIBOR transition. As of December 31, 2021, the Company permanently ceased originating any new loans or entering into any transaction that would increase its LIBOR-based exposure. For all new variable-rate and hybrid loans, the Company primarily offers Prime and SOFR as the variable-rate index, but may consider alternate rates such as the American Interbank Offered Rate (“Ameribor”) and others based on market conditions and/or the type of loan or financial instrument. The Company has completed its readiness efforts to identify loans and other financial instruments that are impacted by the discontinuance of LIBOR. The Company has also completed its review for fallback language contained in contracts for LIBOR-based loans and other financial instruments and has begun to execute a transition plan to amend those legacy contracts maturing after June 30, 2023 that do not have or have inadequate fallback language by adding fallback language or to convert the base rate of the contract to a SOFR-based rate or another rate or index offered by the Company. The Company will also continue to assess impacts to its operations, financial models, data and technology as part of our transition plan. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Update on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact.

ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers	This standard requires that an entity (acquirer) recognizes and measures contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts with customers in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The acquirer should consider the terms of the acquired contracts, such as timing of payment, identify each performance obligation in the contracts and allocate the total transaction price to each identified performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis as of contract inception or contract modification to determine what should be recorded at the acquisition date. The amendments improve comparability by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers whether they are acquired and not acquired in a business combination. The amendments should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, early adoption is permitted.	January 1, 2023	The Company will apply the amendments prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation    Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements are omitted. In the opinion of management, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated and adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals and considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods, have been included. The current period's results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

Use of EstimatesWe have made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates subject to change in the near term include, among other items, the allowance for credit losses (the combination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments), the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the realization of deferred tax assets. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment may be significant.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation format. On the consolidated statements of earnings, new lines are presented for "Dividends and gains (losses) on equity investments" and "Warrant income," as those categories exceeded the disclosure materiality threshold in the fourth quarter of 2021, which previously had been included as part of "Other income.
