[1] Net interest income of each segment represents the difference between actual interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities of the segment adjusted for a funding charge or credit. Segments are charged a cost to fund assets (e.g. customer loans) and receive a funding credit for funds provided (e.g. customer deposits) based on equivalent market rates. The objective of these charges/credits is to transfer interest rate risk from the segments to one centralized unit in Treasury and more appropriately reflect the profitability of segments.

[2] The provision assigned to the segments is based on the segments’ net charge offs and the change in allowance for credit losses.

[3] Expenses for the segments include fully apportioned corporate overhead expenses.
