The fair values of derivatives in a gain or loss position are presented on a gross basis in other assets or other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash collateral posted for derivatives in a loss position is reported as restricted cash. Derivatives with dealer counterparties at both the bank and the parent company are governed by the terms of ISDA Master netting agreements and Credit Support Annexes. The ISDA Master agreements allow counterparties to offset trades in a gain against trades in a loss to determine net exposure and allows for the right of setoff in the event of either a default or an additional termination event. Credit Support Annexes govern the terms of daily collateral posting practices. Collateral practices mitigate the potential loss impact to affected parties by requiring liquid collateral to be posted on a scheduled basis to secure the aggregate net unsecured exposure. In addition to collateral, the right of setoff allows counterparties to offset net derivative values with a defaulting party against certain other contractual receivables from or obligations due to the defaulting party in determining the net termination amount.

No portion of the change in fair value of derivatives designated as hedges has been excluded from effectiveness testing. The ineffective portion was immaterial for all periods presented.

The following table provides a summary of derivative strategies and the related accounting treatment:
 
 
Cash Flow Hedges
 
Fair Value Hedges
 
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Risk exposure
 
Variability in cash flows of interest payments on floating rate business loans, overnight funding and various LIBOR funding instruments.
 
Losses in value on fixed rate long-term debt, CDs, FHLB advances, loans and state and political subdivision securities due to changes in interest rates.
 
Risk associated with an asset or liability, including mortgage banking operations and MSRs, or for client needs. Includes exposure to changes in market rates and conditions subsequent to the interest rate lock and funding date for mortgage loans originated for sale.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Risk management objective
 
Hedge the variability in the interest payments and receipts on future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the first unhedged payments and receipts of variable interest.
 
Convert the fixed rate paid or received to a floating rate, primarily through the use of swaps.
 
For interest rate lock commitment derivatives and LHFS, use mortgage-based derivatives such as forward commitments and options to mitigate market risk. For MSRs, mitigate the income statement effect of changes in the fair value of the MSRs.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Treatment for portion that is highly effective
 
Recognized in AOCI until the related cash flows from the hedged item are recognized in earnings.
 
Recognized in current period income along with the corresponding changes in the fair value of the designated hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged.
 
Entire change in fair value recognized in current period income.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Treatment for portion that is ineffective
 
Recognized in current period income.
 
Recognized in current period income.
 
Not applicable
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Treatment if hedge ceases to be highly effective or is terminated
 
Hedge is dedesignated. Effective changes in value that are recorded in AOCI before dedesignation are amortized to yield over the period the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings.
 
If hedged item remains outstanding, termination proceeds are included in cash flows from financing activities and effective changes in value are reflected as part of the carrying value of the financial instrument and amortized to earnings over its estimated remaining life.
 
Not applicable
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Treatment if transaction is no longer probable of occurring during forecast period or within a short period thereafter
 
Hedge accounting is ceased and any gain or loss in AOCI is reported in earnings immediately.

Derivatives Credit Risk – Dealer Counterparties
 
Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable to the same counterparty. The risk of loss is addressed by subjecting dealer counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans or other extensions of credit and by requiring collateral. Dealer counterparties operate under agreements to provide cash and/or liquid collateral when unsecured loss positions exceed negotiated limits.
 
Derivative contracts with dealer counterparties settle on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis, with daily movement of collateral between counterparties required within established netting agreements. BB&T only transacts with dealer counterparties with strong credit standings.
 
Derivatives Credit Risk – Central Clearing Parties
 
Certain derivatives are cleared through central clearing parties that require initial margin collateral, as well as collateral for trades in a net loss position. Initial margin collateral requirements are established by central clearing parties on varying bases, with such amounts generally designed to offset the risk of non-payment. Initial margin is generally calculated by applying the maximum loss experienced in value over a specified time horizon to the portfolio of existing trades. The central clearing party used for TBA transactions does not post variation margin to the bank.
