Receivables [Abstract]  
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS AND LEASESBeginning January 1, 2020, the former incurred loss method was replaced with the CECL method to calculate estimated loan loss. The ACL addresses credit losses expected in the existing loan and lease portfolio and is presented as a reserve against loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Loan and lease losses are charged off against the ACL, with recoveries of amounts previously charged off credited to the ACL. Provisions for credit losses are charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the appropriate level of the ACL. Included in Table 6.1 is the impact to the ACL from our CECL (ASC 326) adoption on January 1, 2020. All prior periods are presented using the incurred loss method which was the accounting method in place at the time of the respective financial statements.
Following is a summary of changes in the ACL, by loan and lease class:

This expected loss model takes into consideration the expected credit losses over the expected life of the loan compared to the incurred loss model under the prior standard. At the time of CECL adoption, we recorded a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment of $50.6 million as a reduction to Retained Earnings. The ACL balance increased by $105 million and included a “gross-up" to PCI loan balances and the ACL of $50 million. Included in the CECL adoption impact was a Day 1 increase to our AULC of $10 million.
The model used to calculate the ACL is dependent on the portfolio composition and credit quality, as well as historical experience, current conditions and forecasts of economic conditions and interest rates. Specifically, the following considerations are incorporated into the ACL calculation:
a third-party macroeconomic forecast scenario;
a 24-month R&S forecast period for macroeconomic factors with a reversion to the historical mean on a straight-line basis over a 12-month period; and
the historical through the cycle mean was calculated using an expanded period to include a prior recessionary period.

COVID-19 Impacts on the ACL

Beginning in March 2020, the broader economy experienced a significant deterioration in the macroeconomic environment driven by the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in notable adverse changes to forecasted economic variables utilized in our ACL modeling process. Based on these changes, we utilized a third-party pandemic recessionary scenario through September 30, 2020 for ACL modeling purposes. For December 31, 2020, we utilized a third-party consensus macroeconomic forecast due to the improving macroeconomic environment. This scenario captures forecasted macroeconomic variables as of mid-December to ensure our ACL calculation considers the most recently available macroeconomic data in a quickly evolving environment at quarter-end. Macroeconomic variables that we utilized from this scenario for our ACL calculation as of December 31, 2020 included but were not limited to: (i) gross domestic product, which reflects growth of 4% in 2021, (ii) the Dow Jones Total Stock Market Index, which grows steadily throughout the R&S forecast period, (iii) unemployment, which steadily declines and averages 6% over the R&S forecast period and (iv) the Volatility Index, which remains stable over the R&S.
The ACL of $363.1 million at December 31, 2020 increased $167.2 million, or 85.4%, from December 31, 2019 and reflects the Day 1 CECL adoption increase to the ACL of $105.3 million on January 1, 2020. The additional increase was primarily attributed to qualitative adjustments such as economic modeling uncertainty given the COVID-related environment and loan deferral activity as prescribed in the CARES Act and by the banking regulators. Our ending ACL coverage ratio at December 31, 2020 was 1.43%. Total provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $122.8 million. Net charge-offs were $59.8 million during 2020, compared to $28.3 million during 2019, with the increase primarily due to commercial charge-offs within portfolios and industries most impacted by COVID-19 such as retail or hospitality-related commercial real estate. While elevated from 2019, net charge-offs of 24 basis points of average loans for 2020 remained at historically reasonable levels.
