See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this Report for terms used throughout the consolidated financial statements and related notes of this Form 10-Q.
 
General
 
These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The information contained in the financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts reported in prior periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders' equity or net income.
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the ACL, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.
 
Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

During March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to Stock Compensation . The new guidance eliminates the concept of APIC pools for stock-based awards and requires that the related excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance also allows entities to make a one-time policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur, instead of accruing compensation cost based on the number of awards expected to vest. Additionally, the new guidance changes the requirement for an award to qualify for equity classification by permitting tax withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rate instead of the minimum statutory tax rate. Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

During March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to     Investments . The new guidance eliminates the requirement to retroactively adjust the financial statements when a change in ownership or influence causes an existing investment to qualify for the equity method of accounting. The new guidance requires the investor to add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor's previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

During March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to Derivatives and Hedging . The new guidance clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call or put options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts, which is used to determine whether the embedded derivative should be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as a derivative. An entity performing the assessment will be required to assess the embedded call or put options solely in accordance with the pre-existing four-step decision sequence. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to Liabilities . The new guidance requires companies to recognize breakage on prepaid stored-value products in accordance with the recently issued guidance on Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to Derivatives and Hedging . The new guidance clarifies that derivative instrument novations do not require dedesignation of the related hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. BB&T adopted this guidance upon issuance. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

During February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to Leases . The new guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities related to certain operating leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures by lessees and contains targeted changes to accounting by lessors. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to Financial Instruments . The new guidance requires the majority of equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, excluding equity investments that are consolidated or accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The new guidance allows equity investments without readily determinable fair values to be measured at cost minus impairment, with a qualitative assessment required to identify impairment. For financial instruments recorded at amortized cost, the new guidance requires public companies to use exit prices to measure the fair value for disclosure purposes, eliminates the disclosure requirements related to measurement assumptions and requires separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities based on form and measurement category. In addition, for liabilities measured at fair value under the fair value option, the changes in fair value due to changes in instrument-specific credit risk should be recognized in OCI. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During May 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to Insurance . The new guidance requires insurance companies to provide additional disclosures about the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. BB&T's insurance operations primarily consist of agency/broker transactions; therefore, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

During May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Accounting Standards Codification. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. During August 2015, the FASB provided a one-year deferral of the effective date; therefore, the guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. During March 2016, the FASB issued clarification guidance as it relates to principal versus agent considerations for revenue recognition purposes. Additionally, during April 2016, the FASB issued further clarification guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2016, BB&T adopted new guidance related to Fair Value Measurement . The new guidance eliminates the requirement to classify in the fair value hierarchy any investments for which fair value is measured at net asset value per share using the practical expedient. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2016, BB&T adopted new guidance related to Internal-Use Software . Under the new guidance, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements.


9


Effective January 1, 2016, BB&T adopted new guidance related to Debt Issuance Costs . The new guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements, therefore, it was adopted on a prospective basis.

Effective January 1, 2016, BB&T adopted new guidance related to Consolidation . The new guidance provides an additional requirement for a limited partnership or similar entity to qualify as a voting interest entity, amending the criteria for consolidating such an entity and eliminating the deferral provided under previous guidance for investment companies. In addition, the new guidance amends the criteria for evaluating fees paid to a decision maker or service provider as a variable interest and amends the criteria for evaluating the effect of fee arrangements and related parties on a VIE primary beneficiary determination. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
   
NOTE 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
 
During the third quarter of 2015, BB&T acquired Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc., resulting in the addition of $18.3 billion in assets and $14.1 billion in deposits. Susquehanna had 245 financial centers in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition has not yet been finalized.

During the second quarter of 2015, BB&T acquired The Bank of Kentucky, which provided $2.0 billion in assets, $1.6 billion in deposits and 32 financial centers.

During the second quarter of 2015, BB&T purchased additional ownership interest in AmRisc, LP from the noncontrolling owners for cash and ownership of American Coastal, which resulted in a net charge to equity.

During the first quarter of 2015, BB&T acquired 41 financial centers in Texas, which provided $238 million in assets and $1.9 billion in deposits.
 
See BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for additional information related to these transactions.

Subsequent Events

On April 1, 2016, BB&T purchased all of the outstanding common stock of National Penn Bancshares, Inc. for total consideration of $ 1.6 billion , which consisted of approximately $550 million in cash and the remainder in stock. National Penn had 126 financial centers, $9.6 billion of total assets and $6.6 billion of deposits. Also on April 1, 2016, BB&T purchased insurance broker CGSC North America Holdings Corporation ("Swett & Crawford") from Cooper Gay Swett & Crawford for $500 million in cash. The purchase price allocations for these acquisitions have not yet been finalized.

The fair value of securities acquired from the FDIC included non-agency MBS of $731 million and $768 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, and states and political subdivisions securities of $279 million and $296 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. Effective October 1, 2014, securities subject to the commercial loss sharing agreement with the FDIC related to the Colonial acquisition were no longer covered by loss sharing; however, any gains on the sale of these securities through September 30, 2017 would be shared with the FDIC. Since these securities are in a significant unrealized gain position, they continue to be effectively covered as any declines in the unrealized gains of the securities down to a contractually specified amount would reduce the liability to the FDIC at the applicable percentage. The contractually-specified amount is the acquisition date fair value less any paydowns, redemptions or maturities and OTTI and totaled approximately $472 million at March 31, 2016 . Any further declines below the contractually-specified amount would not be covered.
 
Certain investments in marketable debt securities and MBS issued by FNMA and FHLMC exceeded 10% of shareholders' equity at March 31, 2016 . The FNMA investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $15.4 billion . The FHLMC investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $6.8 billion .
 
The following table reflects changes in credit losses on securities with OTTI (excluding securities acquired from the FDIC) where a portion of the unrealized loss was recognized in OCI:

The unrealized losses on GSE securities and agency MBS were the result of increases in market interest rates compared to the date the securities were acquired rather than the credit quality of the issuers or underlying loans.
 
At March 31, 2016 , $48 million of the unrealized loss on states and political subdivisions securities was the result of fair value hedge basis adjustments that are a component of amortized cost. These securities in an unrealized loss position are evaluated for credit impairment through a qualitative analysis of issuer performance and the primary source of repayment. At March 31, 2016 , none of these securities had credit impairment.

NOTE 4. Loans and ACL
 
Effective October 1, 2014, loans subject to the commercial loss sharing agreement with the FDIC related to the Colonial acquisition were no longer covered by loss sharing. At March 31, 2016 , these loans had a carrying value of $259 million , a UPB of $423 million and an ALLL of $42 million and are included in PCI. Loans with a carrying value of $514 million at March 31, 2016 continue to be covered by loss sharing and are included in PCI.

Charge-offs and forgiveness of principal and interest for TDRs were immaterial for all periods presented.

The pre-default balance for modifications that experienced a payment default that had been classified as TDRs during the previous 12 months was $17 million and $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Payment default is defined as movement of the TDR to nonaccrual status, foreclosure or charge-off, whichever occurs first.

Changes in the carrying value and accretable yield of PCI loans are presented in the following table:

As previously disclosed, during June 2014 BB&T received notice from the HUD-OIG that BB&T had been selected for an audit/survey to assess BB&T's compliance with FHA loan origination and quality control requirements. In late 2014 and in 2015, BB&T received subpoenas from the HUD-OIG and the Department of Justice seeking additional information regarding its lending practices in connection with loans insured by the FHA. BB&T is cooperating with the investigation. While the outcome of the investigation is unknown and neither the Department of Justice nor the HUD-OIG has asserted any claims, similar reviews and related matters with other financial institutions have resulted in cash settlements and other remedial actions. The potential exposure related to losses incurred by the FHA on defaulted loans ranges from $25 million to $105 million , and BB&T recognized an $85 million charge during 2014 that was included in other expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the above table, the effect of an adverse variation in one assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

NOTE 9. Shareholders' Equity
 
On March 9, 2016, BB&T issued $465 million of series H non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock with a stated dividend rate of 5.625% per annum for net proceeds of $451 million . Dividends, if declared by the Board of Directors, are payable quarterly in arrears. BB&T issued depositary shares, each of which represents a fractional ownership interest in a share of the 18,600 shares of the Company’s series H preferred stock. The preferred stock has no stated maturity and redemption is solely at the option of the Company in whole, but not in part, upon the occurrence of a regulatory capital treatment event, as defined. In addition, the preferred stock may be redeemed in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date after June 1, 2021. Under current rules, any redemption of the preferred stock is subject to prior approval of the FRB. The preferred stock is not subject to any sinking fund or other obligations of the Corporation.

NOTE 11. Income Taxes
 
The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were 30.1% and 30.6% , respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was lower than the corresponding period of 2015 primarily due to changes in unrecognized tax benefits.
 
In February 2010, BB&T received an IRS statutory notice of deficiency for tax years 2002-2007 related to the disallowance of foreign tax credits and other deductions claimed by a subsidiary in connection with a financing transaction. BB&T paid the disputed tax, penalties and interest during 2010 and filed a lawsuit seeking a refund in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. During 2013, the court denied the refund claim and BB&T appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. During May 2015, the appeals court rendered a decision overturning a portion of the earlier ruling and affirming the remainder, resulting in the recognition of income tax benefits, including the reversal of interest and penalties, of $107 million during the second quarter of 2015. During September 2015, BB&T filed a petition requesting the case be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. During March 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, which preserves the earlier ruling and effectively concludes this matter.

The following table presents changes in unrecognized tax benefits:

Discretionary contributions totaling $280 million were made during the three months ended March 31, 2016 . There are no required contributions for the remainder of 2016 , though BB&T may elect to make additional contributions.

Legal Proceedings

The nature of BB&T's business ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. BB&T believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding legal proceedings and, with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management's judgment as to what is in the best interests of BB&T and its shareholders.
 
On at least a quarterly basis, liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings are assessed utilizing the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that BB&T will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, a liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on at least a quarterly basis. For other matters, where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, legal reserves are not accrued. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, management believes that the established legal reserves are adequate and the liabilities arising from legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows of BB&T.
 
Pledged Assets
 
Certain assets were pledged to secure municipal deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, borrowings and borrowing capacity, subject to any applicable asset discount, at the FHLB and FRB as well as for other purposes as required or permitted by law. The following table provides the total carrying amount of pledged assets by asset type, of which the majority are pursuant to agreements that do not permit the other party to sell or repledge the collateral. Assets related to employee benefit plans have been excluded from the following table.

NOTE 14. Fair Value Disclosures
 
Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants, with a three level valuation input hierarchy.

The following discussion focuses on the valuation techniques and significant inputs for Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities.


27


A third-party pricing service is generally utilized in determining the fair value of the securities portfolio. Management independently evaluates the fair values provided by the pricing service through comparisons to other external pricing sources, review of additional information provided by the pricing service and other third party sources for selected securities and back-testing to compare the price realized on any security sales to the daily pricing information received from the pricing service. Fair value measurements are derived from market-based pricing matrices that were developed using observable inputs that include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, offers, bids, issuer spreads and broker quotes. As described by security type below, additional inputs may be used, or some inputs may not be applicable. In the event that market observable data was not available, which would generally occur due to the lack of an active market for a given security, the valuation of the security would be subjective and may involve substantial judgment by management.
 
Trading securities: Trading securities include various types of debt and equity securities, primarily consisting of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, GSEs, or states and political subdivisions. The valuation techniques used for these investments are more fully discussed below.
 
U.S. Treasury securities: Treasury securities are valued using quoted prices in active over the counter markets.
 
Agency MBS: GSE pass-through securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that reference observable inputs including benchmark TBA security pricing and yield curves that were estimated based on U.S. Treasury yields and certain floating rate indices. The pricing matrices for these securities may also give consideration to pool-specific data supplied directly by the GSE. GSE CMOs are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above.
 
States and political subdivisions: These securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that reference observable inputs including MSRB reported trades, issuer spreads, material event notices and benchmark yield curves.
 
Non-agency MBS: Pricing matrices for these securities are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above.
 
Other securities: These securities consist primarily of mutual funds and corporate bonds. These securities are valued based on a review of quoted market prices for assets as well as through the various other inputs discussed previously.
 
Acquired from FDIC securities: Securities acquired from the FDIC consist of re-remic non-agency MBS, municipal securities and non-agency MBS. State and political subdivision securities and certain non-agency MBS acquired from the FDIC are valued in a manner similar to the approach described above for those asset classes. The re-remic non-agency MBS, which are categorized as Level 3, are valued based on broker dealer quotes that reflected certain unobservable market inputs.
 
LHFS: Certain mortgage loans are originated to be sold to investors, which are carried at fair value. The fair value is primarily based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage LHFS.
 
MSRs: Residential MSRs are valued using an OAS valuation model to project cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are then discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. Fair value estimates and assumptions are compared to industry surveys, recent market activity, actual portfolio experience and, when available, other observable market data. Commercial MSRs are valued using a cash flow valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows. BB&T considers actual and expected loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs and other economic factors that are determined based on current market conditions.
 
Derivative assets and liabilities: The fair values of derivatives are determined based on quoted market prices and internal pricing models that are primarily sensitive to market observable data. The fair values of interest rate lock commitments, which are related to mortgage loan commitments and are categorized as Level 3, are based on quoted market prices adjusted for commitments that are not expected to fund and include the value attributable to the net servicing fees.
 

28


Private equity and similar investments: Private equity and similar investments are measured at fair value based on the investment's net asset value. In many cases there are no observable market values for these investments and therefore management must estimate the fair value based on a comparison of the operating performance of the company to multiples in the marketplace for similar entities. This analysis requires significant judgment, and actual values in a sale could differ materially from those estimated.
 
Securities sold short: Securities sold short represent debt securities sold short that are entered into as a hedging strategy for the purposes of supporting institutional and retail client trading activities.

BB&T's policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 as of the end of a reporting period. Transfers involving Level 3, if any, are presented in the preceding tables. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015 .
 
The majority of private equity and similar investments are in SBIC qualified funds, which primarily focus on equity and subordinated debt investments in privately-held middle market companies. The majority of these VIE investments are not redeemable and distributions are received as the underlying assets of the funds liquidate. The timing of distributions, which are expected to occur on various dates through 2026 , is uncertain and dependent on various events such as recapitalizations, refinance transactions and ownership changes among others. Excluding the investment of future funds, these investments have an estimated weighted average remaining life of approximately two years ; however, the timing and amount of distributions may vary significantly. As of March 31, 2016 , restrictions on the ability to sell the investments include, but are not limited to, consent of a majority member or general partner approval for transfer of ownership. These investments are spread over numerous privately-held middle market companies, and thus the sensitivity to a change in fair value for any single investment is limited. The significant unobservable inputs for these investments are EBITDA multiples that ranged from 5 x to 11 x, with a weighted average of 8 x, at March 31, 2016 .

The following table provides information about certain financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which are primarily collateral dependent and may be subject to liquidity adjustments. The carrying values represent end of period values, which approximate the fair value measurements that occurred on the various measurement dates throughout the period. The valuation adjustments represent the amounts recorded during the period regardless of whether the asset is still held at period end. These assets are considered to be Level 3 assets (excludes PCI).

For financial instruments not recorded at fair value, estimates of fair value are based on relevant market data and information about the instrument. Values obtained relate to one trading unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between various instruments.
 
An active market does not exist for certain financial instruments. Fair value estimates for these instruments are based on current economic conditions, currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.
 
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash : For these short-term instruments, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair values.
 
HTM securities: The fair values of HTM securities are based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, issuer spreads, current bids and offers, monthly payment information and collateral performance.

30


 
Loans receivable : The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality, which are deemed to be indicative of orderly transactions in the current market. For commercial loans and leases, discount rates may be adjusted to address additional credit risk on lower risk grade instruments. For residential mortgage and other consumer loans, internal prepayment risk models are used to adjust contractual cash flows. Loans are aggregated into pools of similar terms and credit quality and discounted using a LIBOR based rate. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair values.
 
FDIC loss share receivable and payable : The fair values of the receivable and payable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying a risk free interest rate that is adjusted for the uncertainty in the timing and amount of the cash flows. The expected cash flows to/from the FDIC related to loans were estimated using the same assumptions that were used in determining the accounting values for the related loans. The expected cash flows to/from the FDIC related to securities are based upon the fair value of the related securities and the payment that would be required if the securities were sold for that amount. The loss share agreements are not transferable and, accordingly, there is no market for the receivable or payable.
 
Deposit liabilities : The fair values for demand deposits are equal to the amount payable on demand. Fair values for CDs are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to aggregate expected maturities. BB&T has developed long-term relationships with its deposit customers, commonly referred to as CDIs, that have not been considered in the determination of the deposit liabilities' fair value.
 
Short-term borrowings : The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings, excluding securities sold short, approximate their fair values.
 
Long-term debt : The fair values of long-term debt instruments are estimated based on quoted market prices for the instrument if available, or for similar instruments if not available, or by using discounted cash flow analyses, based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.

Contractual commitments : The fair values of commitments are estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The fair values of guarantees and letters of credit are estimated based on the counterparties' creditworthiness and average default rates for loan products with similar risks. These respective fair value measurements are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Retail lending commitments are assigned no fair value as BB&T typically has the ability to cancel such commitments by providing notice to the borrower.

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.
 
Changes 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
BB&T is a financial holding company organized under the laws of North Carolina. BB&T conducts operations through its principal bank subsidiary, Branch Bank, and its nonbank subsidiaries.
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, regarding the financial condition, results of operations, business plans and the future performance of BB&T. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations and assumptions regarding BB&T’s business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. BB&T’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Words such as "anticipates, "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "projects," "may," "will," “should," "could," and other similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation:
 
general economic or business conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and/or a reduced demand for credit, insurance or other services;
disruptions to the national or global financial markets, including the impact of a downgrade of U.S. government obligations by one of the credit ratings agencies and the adverse effects of recessionary conditions in Europe and the impact of recent market disruptions in China;
changes in the interest rate environment, including interest rate changes made by the Federal Reserve or the possibility of a negative interest rate scenario, as well as cash flow reassessments may reduce NIM and/or the volumes and values of loans made or held as well as the value of other financial assets held;
competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly;
legislative, regulatory or accounting changes, including changes resulting from the adoption and implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act may adversely affect the businesses in which BB&T is engaged;
local, state or federal taxing authorities may take tax positions that are adverse to BB&T;
a reduction may occur in BB&T's credit ratings;
adverse changes may occur in the securities markets;
competitors of BB&T may have greater financial resources or develop products that enable them to compete more successfully than BB&T and may be subject to different regulatory standards than BB&T;
cyber-security risks, including "denial of service," "hacking" and "identity theft," could adversely affect BB&T's business and financial performance or reputation, and BB&T could be liable for financial losses incurred by third parties due to breaches of data shared between financial institutions;
natural or other disasters, including acts of domestic or foreign terrorism, could have an adverse effect on BB&T in that such events could materially disrupt BB&T's operations or the ability or willingness of BB&T's customers to access the financial services BB&T offers;
costs related to the integration of the businesses of BB&T and its merger partners may be greater than expected;
failure to execute on strategic or operational plans, including the ability to successfully complete and/or integrate mergers and acquisitions or fully achieve expected cost savings or revenue growth associated with mergers and acquisitions within the expected time frames could adversely impact financial condition and results of operations;
significant litigation could have a material adverse effect on BB&T;
unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or other claims and regulatory and other governmental investigations or other inquiries could result in negative publicity, protests, fines, penalties, restrictions on BB&T's operations or ability to expand its business and other negative consequences, all of which could cause reputational damage and adversely impact BB&T's financial conditions and results of operations;
deposit attrition, customer loss and/or revenue loss following completed mergers and acquisitions may be greater than expected;
higher than expected costs related to information technology infrastructure or a failure to successfully implement future system enhancements could adversely impact BB&T's financial condition and results of operations and could result in significant additional costs to BB&T; and
widespread system outages, caused by the failure of critical internal systems or critical services provided by third parties, could adversely impact BB&T's financial conditions and results of operations.

39



These and other risk factors are more fully described in this report and in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 under the sections entitled "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and from time to time, in other filings with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, BB&T undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
 
Regulatory Considerations
 
BB&T and its affiliates are subject to numerous examinations by federal and state banking regulators, as well as the SEC, FINRA, and various state insurance and securities regulators. BB&T has from time to time received requests for information from regulatory authorities in various states, including state insurance commissions and state attorneys general, securities regulators and other regulatory authorities, concerning their business practices. Such requests are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for additional disclosures with respect to laws and regulations affecting BB&T.
 
DIF Assessment
 
Under a rule adopted by the FDIC in 2011, regular assessment rates for all banks will decline when the reserve ratio reaches 1.15%, which the FDIC expects will occur during the first half of 2016. During March 2016, the FDIC adopted a final rule that imposes a surcharge of 4.5 cents per $100 of the assessment base, after making certain adjustments, for banks with total assets of at least $10 billion. The surcharge will last for a period currently estimated by the FDIC to be two years.

The final rule will become effective on July 1. If the reserve ratio reaches 1.15% before that date, surcharges will begin July 1. If the reserve ratio has not reached 1.15 percent by that date, surcharges will begin the first quarter after the reserve ratio reaches 1.15%. BB&T estimates that the net effect of the proposed changes would increase BB&T's total annual assessment by an amount within the range of $40 million to $50 million.

Amendments to Stress Test Rules
 
The FDIC has modified the "as-of" dates for financial data that covered banks with more than $10 billion in assets will use to perform their stress tests as well as the reporting dates and public disclosure dates of the annual stress tests. The revisions to the regulations became effective on January 1, 2016. 

HMDA Regulations
 
The CFPB has issued final rules changing the reporting requirements for lenders under the HMDA. The new rules expand the range of transactions subject to these requirements to include small business lending. The rules also increase the overall amount of data required to be collected and submitted, including additional data points about the applicable loans and expanded data about the borrowers. BB&T will be required to begin collecting the expanded data on January 1, 2018.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio: Liquidity Risk Measurement Standards
 
The OCC, the FRB, and the FDIC have adopted a final rule that implements a quantitative liquidity requirement consistent with the liquidity coverage ratio standard established by the BCBS.

BB&T is currently under the standardized approach for risk weightings. Institutions with greater than $250 billion in assets or $10 billion in foreign assets are considered advanced approaches banking organizations, which results in a more complex calculation of RWA that includes an assessment of the impact of operational risk, among other changes. In addition, advanced approaches institutions have additional reporting requirements and must calculate capital under both the standardized approach and the advanced approaches and use the more conservative result. BB&T is preparing to comply with the advanced approaches requirements as it would become subject to these requirements upon exceeding either of the asset thresholds.


40


Effective January 1, 2016, Branch Bank became subject to the capital conservation buffer, which requires calculation and public disclosure of the amount of the buffer, the eligible retained income and any limitations on distributions and discretionary bonuses resulting from the buffer, including the maximum payout amount for the quarter. The capital conservation buffer requirements do not currently result in any limitations on distributions or discretionary bonuses for Branch Bank.
 
Pay Ratio Disclosure
 
The SEC has adopted amendments to Item 402 of Regulation S-K to require disclosure of: (1) the median compensation amount of the annual total compensation of all employees of a registrant (excluding the CEO), (2) the annual total compensation of that registrant's CEO and (3) the ratio of the median of the annual total compensation of all employees (excluding the CEO) to the annual total compensation of the CEO. The rules will require such pay ratio disclosure information for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

Volcker Rule

The Volcker Rule prohibits IDIs from engaging in short-term proprietary trading of certain securities, derivatives, commodity futures and options for their own account and also imposes limits on certain relationships with hedge funds or private equity funds. The rules provide certain exemptions and also clarify that certain activities are not prohibited, including acting as agent, broker, or custodian.

Banking entities were required to conform proprietary trading activities to the final rule by July 21, 2015. The FRB extended the compliance deadline to July 21, 2016 (and announced the intention to further extend the deadline to July 21, 2017) for purposes of conforming investments in and relationships with covered funds and foreign funds that were in place prior to December 31, 2013. Complying with these requirements is not expected to have a material impact on BB&T's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

FDIC Recordkeeping Requirements

The FDIC has released a proposed rule to facilitate prompt payment of FDIC-insured deposits when large IDIs fail. The proposal would require IDIs with two million or more deposit accounts to maintain complete and accurate data on each depositor's ownership interest by right and capacity and to develop the capability to calculate the insured and uninsured amounts for each deposit owner by ownership right and capacity. This proposed rule is currently in the comment stage and, if enacted, would result in additional costs to BB&T.

Net Stable Funding Ratio: Liquidity Risk Measurement, Standards and Monitoring

The OCC, the FRB and the FDIC have adopted a final rule that implements a quantitative liquidity requirement consistent with the net stable funding ratio standard established by the BCBS. Refer to the "Liquidity" section in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" herein for additional information.

Executive Summary
 
Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2016 was $527 million , an increase of $39 million compared to the same quarter of 2015 . On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the first quarter of 2016 were $0.67 , flat compared to the first quarter of 2015.
 
BB&T's results of operations for the first quarter of 2016 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.09% , an annualized return on average risk-weighted assets of 1.38% and an annualized return on average common shareholders' equity of 8.45% , compared to earlier quarter ratios of 1.18% , 1.48% and 9.05% , respectively. BB&T's return on average tangible common shareholders' equity was 13.87% for the first quarter of 2016 , compared to 14.00% for the first quarter of 2015.

Total revenues on a FTE basis were $2.6 billion for the first quarter of 2016 , up $240 million compared to the same period in 2015 largely the result of prior year acquisition activity.
 
Net interest margin was 3.43% , compared to 3.33% for the first quarter of 2015. Average earning assets increased $20.2 billion, or 12.4%, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $12.9 billion, or 11.1%, both of which were primarily driven by acquisitions. The annualized yield on the total loan portfolio for the first quarter was 4.35% , an increase of 12 basis points compared to the earlier quarter, primarily due to higher yields associated with acquired loans. The annualized fully taxable-equivalent yield on the average securities portfolio for the first quarter was 2.40% , compared to 2.47% for the earlier quarter.

41


 
The average annualized cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.25% , flat compared to the earlier quarter. The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt was 2.19% , compared to 2.18% for the earlier quarter.
 
The $19 million increase in noninterest income compared to 2015 was driven by securities gains and improved FDIC loss share income, partially offset by lower other income as a result of a decrease in income related to assets for certain post-employment benefits, which is offset in personnel expense. Additionally, insurance income declined following the sale of American Coastal, and mortgage banking income was lower due to volume.
 
Excluding PCI loans, the provision for credit losses was $182 million , compared to $105 million in the first quarter of 2015. The current quarter provision includes approximately $58 million related to the energy lending portfolio. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2016 , excluding PCI loans, totaled $154 million, up $54 million compared to the earlier quarter primarily due to $30 million in charge-offs related to the energy lending portfolio.
 
Noninterest expense was $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2016 , an increase of $123 million compared to the earlier quarter. This increase was driven by higher personnel expense, occupancy and equipment expense and other smaller categories of expense following the prior year acquisitions, partially offset by lower other expense.

The provision for income taxes was $246 million for the first quarter of 2016 , compared to $241 million for the earlier quarter. This produced an effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 of 30.1% , compared to 30.6% for the first quarter of 2015.
 
On April 1, 2016, BB&T purchased all of the outstanding common stock of National Penn Bancshares, Inc. for total consideration of $ 1.6 billion , which consisted of approximately $550 million in cash and the remainder in stock. National Penn had 126 financial centers, $9.6 billion of total assets and $6.6 billion of deposits. Also on April 1, 2016, BB&T purchased insurance broker CGSC North America Holdings Corporation ("Swett & Crawford") from Cooper Gay Swett & Crawford for $500 million in cash.
 
Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for additional information with respect to BB&T's recent accomplishments and significant challenges.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and NIM
 
First Quarter 2016 compared to First Quarter 2015
 
Net interest income on a FTE basis was $1.6 billion for the first quarter of 2016 , an increase of $221 million or 16.4% compared to the same period in 2015 . Interest income increased $232 million, which reflects the acquisitions of Susquehanna and The Bank of Kentucky during 2015. Interest expense was up $11 million, reflecting prior year acquisition activity partially offset by the termination of certain higher-rate FLHB advances.
 
Net interest margin was 3.43% , compared to 3.33% for the earlier quarter. Average earning assets increased $20.2 billion , or 12.4%, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $12.9 billion, or 11.1%, both of which were primarily driven by acquisitions. The annualized yield on the total loan portfolio for the first quarter was 4.35% , an increase of 12 basis points compared to the earlier quarter, which primarily reflects the impact of Susquehanna purchase accounting and higher average balances for other lending subsidiaries, partially offset by runoff of loans acquired from the FDIC. The annualized fully taxable-equivalent yield on the average securities portfolio for the first quarter was 2.40% , compared to 2.47% for the earlier period. This decline reflects lower rates on mortgage-backed securities, runoff of securities acquired from the FDIC and larger holdings in U.S. Treasuries and MBS issued by GSE.
 
The average annualized cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.25% , flat compared to the earlier quarter. The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt was 2.19% , compared to 2.18% for the earlier quarter.

The following table sets forth the major components of net interest income and the related annualized yields and rates as well as the variances between the periods caused by changes in interest rates versus changes in volumes. Changes attributable to the mix of assets and liabilities have been allocated proportionally between the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Credit Losses
 
First Quarter 2016 compared to First Quarter 2015
 
The provision for credit losses totaled $184 million for the first quarter of 2016 , compared to $99 million for the same period of the prior year. The current quarter provision included approximately $58 million related to the energy lending portfolio.

Net charge-offs were $154 million for the first quarter of 2016 and $101 million for the first quarter of 2015 . This increase includes $30 million of net charge-offs related to the energy lending portfolio. Net charge-offs were 0.46% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis for the first quarter of 2016 , compared to 0.34% of average loans and leases for the same period in 2015 , primarily related to energy lending as described above.

Noninterest Income
 
First Quarter 2016 compared to First Quarter 2015
 
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2016 increased $19 million compared to the earlier quarter. This increase was driven by higher securities gains and better FDIC loss share income partially offset by lower other income, insurance income and mortgage banking income.

Securities gains increased $45 million as the result of opportunistic sales of securities in the current quarter. FDIC loss share income improved $19 million primarily due to lower loan-related accretion.

Other income decreased $41 million primarily due to lower income related to assets for certain post-employment benefits (which is offset in personnel expense) and lower partnerships and investment income. Insurance income declined $21 million primarily due to the sale of American Coastal during the second quarter of 2015, which resulted in a $34 million reduction in revenue, partially offset by higher commission income in the property and casualty insurance business. Mortgage banking income declined $19 million, driven by $14 million of lower gains on saleable loans.
 
The remaining categories of noninterest income totaled $479 million for the current quarter, compared to $443 million for the first quarter of 2015 , primarily reflecting the impact of acquisition activity .

Noninterest Expense
 
First Quarter 2016 compared to First Quarter 2015
 
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2016 was $1.5 billion , an increase of $123 million compared to the earlier quarter. This increase reflects higher expense in a number of categories primarily resulting from acquisition activity, partially offset by a reduction in other expense.

Personnel expense increased $85 million, driven by a $70 million increase in salaries, which reflects an increase in FTEs of approximately 3,600 primarily resulting from the prior year acquisitions. Incentive expense increased $17 million partially due to improved performance relative to target measures. Pension expense increased $11 million due to changes in actuarial assumptions. These increases were partially offset by a $25 million decrease in certain post-employment benefits expense (offset in other income).

Occupancy and equipment expense, outside IT services, amortization of intangibles and merger-related and restructuring charges increased $24 million, $11 million, $11 million and $10 million, respectively, as a result of acquisition activity.

Other expense decreased $21 million primarily due to the sale of American Coastal.

The remaining categories of noninterest expense totaled $145 million for the current quarter, compared to $142 million for the first quarter of 2015 , primarily reflecting the impact of acquisition activity .


44


Provision for Income Taxes
 
First Quarter 2016 compared to First Quarter 2015
 
The provision for income taxes was $246 million for the first quarter of 2016 , compared to $241 million for the earlier quarter. This produced an effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 of 30.1% , compared to 30.6% for the earlier quarter.

Refer to Note 11 "Income Taxes" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for a discussion of uncertain tax positions and other tax matters.

Segment Results
 
See the "Operating Segments" Note in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" contained herein and BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 , for additional disclosures related to BB&T's reportable business segments. Fluctuations in noninterest income and noninterest expense incurred directly by the segments are more fully discussed in the "Noninterest Income" and "Noninterest Expense" sections above.

First Quarter 2016 compared to First Quarter 2015
 
Community Banking
 
Community Banking serves individual and business clients by offering a variety of loan and deposit products and other financial services. The segment is primarily responsible for acquiring and maintaining client relationships.

Community Banking net income was $310 million for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $101 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income and noninterest income increased $210 million and $17 million, respectively, primarily driven by the prior-year acquisition activity.

The allocated provision for credit losses decreased $23 million as a result of lower loss estimates in the commercial loan portfolio. Noninterest expense increased $64 million driven by higher personnel and occupancy and equipment expense, primarily attributable to the acquisitions. Allocated corporate expense increased by $27 million compared to the earlier quarter, primarily driven by acquisitions.
 
Residential Mortgage Banking
 
Residential Mortgage Banking retains and services mortgage loans originated by BB&T as well as loans purchased from various correspondent originators. Mortgage products include fixed and adjustable-rate government guaranteed and conventional loans used for the purpose of constructing, purchasing or refinancing residential properties. Substantially all of the properties are owner-occupied.

45



Residential Mortgage Banking net income was $39 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $25 million compared to the earlier quarter. Noninterest income decreased $13 million, driven by lower gains on sales of loans. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $23 million as the earlier quarter reflected improvement in loss severity trends.

Dealer Financial Services
 
Dealer Financial Services originates loans to consumers for the purchase of automobiles. These loans are originated on an indirect basis through approved franchised and independent automobile dealers throughout BB&T's market area through BB&T Dealer Finance, and on a national basis through Regional Acceptance Corporation. Dealer Financial Services also originates loans for the purchase of recreational and marine vehicles and, in conjunction with the Community Bank, provides financing and servicing to dealers for their inventories. The Susquehanna consumer auto leasing portfolio was moved to the Dealer Financial Services segment from the Other, Treasury, and Corporate segment in November 2015 in connection with the Susquehanna systems conversion.

Dealer Financial Services net income was $42 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $3 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income increased $14 million, primarily due to the addition of Susquehanna’s consumer auto leasing business as well as growth in the Regional Acceptance loan portfolio. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $15 million, driven by higher net charge-offs in the Regional Acceptance loan portfolio due to portfolio mix and an increase in loss severity.
 
Specialized Lending
 
Specialized Lending consists of businesses that provide specialty finance solutions to commercial and consumer clients including: commercial finance, mortgage warehouse lending, tax-exempt financing for local governments and special-purpose districts, equipment leasing, full-service commercial mortgage banking, commercial and retail insurance premium finance, and dealer-based financing of equipment for consumers and small businesses. The small business equipment finance group, a former subsidiary of Susquehanna, was moved to the Specialized Lending segment from the Other, Treasury, and Corporate segment in connection with the systems conversion during November 2015.

Specialized Lending net income was $56 million for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $3 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income increased $18 million, primarily attributable to the addition of Susquehanna’s small business equipment finance group as well as growth in the small ticket consumer finance portfolio, partially offset by lower interest rates on new loans. This increase was partially offset by a higher allocated provision for credit losses driven by net charge-offs in the small business equipment finance portfolio and the small ticket consumer finance portfolio as well as higher noninterest expense primarily due to higher personnel expense, loan processing expense and depreciation of property under operating leases.
 
Insurance Holdings
 
BB&T's insurance agency / brokerage network is the fifth largest in the United States and sixth largest in the world. Insurance Holdings provides property and casualty, life and health insurance to businesses and individual clients. It also provides small business and corporate products, such as workers compensation and professional liability, as well as surety coverage and title insurance.

Insurance Holdings net income was $53 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $19 million compared to the earlier quarter. Noninterest income decreased $21 million, primarily due to the sale of American Coastal in the second quarter of 2015, partially offset by higher performance-based commissions in the commercial property and casualty business.
 
Financial Services
 
Financial Services provides personal trust administration, estate planning, investment counseling, wealth management, asset management, employee benefits services, corporate banking and corporate trust services to individuals, corporations, institutions, foundations and government entities. In addition, Financial Services offers clients a variety of investment services, including discount brokerage services, equities, annuities, mutual funds and government bonds through BB&T Investment Services, Inc. The segment includes BB&T Securities, a full-service brokerage and investment banking firm, and the Corporate Banking Division, which originates and services large corporate relationships, syndicated lending relationships and client derivatives. The segment also includes the company's SBIC private equity investments. Various financial-related business units of Susquehanna moved into the Financial Services segment in connection with the systems conversion during November 2015.

46



Financial Services net income was $26 million in the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $40 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income increased $29 million, primarily driven by higher loan and deposit balances for Corporate Banking and BB&T Wealth. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $66 million in the first quarter of 2016, driven by higher net charge-offs and loss estimates for the Corporate Banking loan portfolio related to the energy lending portfolio. Noninterest expense increased $19 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher personnel expense and merger-related and restructuring charges.

Other, Treasury & Corporate
 
Net income in Other, Treasury & Corporate can vary due to the changing needs of the Corporation, including the size of the investment portfolio, the need for wholesale funding and income received from derivatives used to hedge the balance sheet.

Other, Treasury & Corporate generated net income of $44 million for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $6 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income decreased $48 million driven primarily by higher funding spreads on deposits allocated to other segments. Noninterest income increased $36 million, driven by higher net securities gains and improved FDIC loss share income. Noninterest expense increased $25 million, primarily due to higher occupancy and equipment, IT professional services and software expense. Amortization of intangibles increased $13 million primarily related to prior year acquisitions. Allocated corporate expense decreased by $41 million, reflecting increases in corporate expense allocated to the operating segments.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Investment Activities
 
The total securities portfolio was $46.5 billion at March 31, 2016 , compared to $43.8 billion at December 31, 2015 . As of March 31, 2016 , the securities portfolio included $27.1 billion of AFS securities (at fair value) and $19.4 billion of HTM securities (at amortized cost).
 
The effective duration of the securities portfolio was 3.5 years at March 31, 2016 , compared to 4.0 years at December 31, 2015 . The duration of the securities portfolio excludes equity securities, auction rate securities and certain non-agency residential MBS that were acquired in the Colonial acquisition.

See the "Securities" Note in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" herein for additional disclosures related to BB&T's evaluation of securities for OTTI.

Lending Activities
 
Loans HFI totaled $135.1 billion at March 31, 2016 , compared to $136.0 billion at December 31, 2015 . The decrease in loans HFI was primarily due to declines in sales finance and residential mortgage. The decline in sales finance loans was partially due to dealer pricing structure changes implemented during the third quarter of 2015, which continue to have a runoff effect on the overall loan balance as a result of reduced loan production. Residential mortgage loans are down due to management's current strategy of selling substantially all conforming mortgage loan production.

Average loans held for investment for the first quarter of 2016 were $134.4 billion , down $432 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 .

Average sales finance loans declined approximately $484 million , which was partially due to lower originations as a result of the dealer pricing structure changes implemented during the third quarter of 2015. Average residential mortgage loans decreased approximately $470 million excluding acquisitions, which reflects the continued strategy to sell conforming residential mortgage loan production. Average commercial real estate – construction and development loans decreased $147 million .

Average commercial real estate – income producing properties loans increased $226 million , direct retail lending average loans increased $211 million and other lending subsidiaries average loans increased $158 million . Dealer floor plan average loans were up $75 million , or 25.9% annualized, due to strong organic growth.

Asset Quality
 
Nonperforming assets totaled $903 million at March 31, 2016 , an increase of $191 million compared to December 31, 2015 . This increase reflects $206 million of commercial and industrial NPLs that were downgraded as a result of a review of shared national credits in the energy lending portfolio. At March 31, 2016 , nonperforming loans and leases represented 0.58% of loans and leases held for investment, compared to 0.42% at December 31, 2015 .

(1) 
Includes charge-offs and losses recorded upon sale of $50 million and $38 million for the three months March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.
(2)
Includes charge-offs and losses recorded upon sale of $3 million for the three months March 31, 2016 and 2015 .

The following tables summarize asset quality information for the past five quarters. As more fully described below, this information has been adjusted to exclude certain components:
 
BB&T has recorded certain amounts related to government guaranteed GNMA mortgage loans that BB&T has the option, but not the obligation, to repurchase and has effectively regained control. These amounts are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets but have been excluded from the asset quality disclosures, as management believes they result in distortion of the reported metrics. The amount of government guaranteed GNMA mortgage loans that have been excluded are noted in the footnotes to Table 5 .

In addition, BB&T has concluded that the inclusion of PCI loans in "Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of total loans and leases" may result in significant distortion to this ratio. The inclusion of these loans could result in a lack of comparability across quarters or years, and could negatively impact comparability with other portfolios that were subject to different accounting requirements. BB&T believes that the presentation of this asset quality measure excluding PCI loans provides additional perspective into underlying trends related to the quality of its loan portfolio. Accordingly, the asset quality measures in Table 6 present asset quality information on a consolidated basis as well as "Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of total loans and leases" excluding PCI loans.

(2)
These asset quality ratios have been adjusted to remove the impact of PCI. Appropriate adjustments to the numerator and denominator have been reflected in the calculation of these ratios. Management believes the inclusion of PCI in certain asset quality ratios results in distortion of these ratios and they may not be comparable to other periods presented or to other portfolios that were subject to different accounting requirements.

Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing, excluding government guaranteed GNMA mortgage loans that BB&T has the right but not the obligation to repurchase, totaled $823 million at March 31, 2016 , a decrease of $205 million compared to the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a $97 million decrease in the other lending subsidiaries portfolio, which reflects seasonality in the nonprime auto lending business, a $58 million decrease in residential mortgage loans, a $19 million decrease in sales finance loans, and a $18 million decrease in commercial loans.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $286 million at March 31, 2016 , a decrease of $26 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily driven by loans acquired from the FDIC and PCI loans and residential mortgage loans. Excluding acquired from the FDIC and PCI loans, the ratio of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of loans and leases was 0.14% at March 31, 2016 , a decline of one basis point compared to the prior quarter.

Problem loans include loans on nonaccrual status or loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing as disclosed in Table 5 . In addition, for the commercial portfolio segment, loans that are rated special mention or substandard performing are closely monitored by management as potential problem loans. Refer to the "Loans and ACL" Note in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" herein for additional disclosures related to these potential problem loans.
 
Certain residential mortgage loans have an initial period where the borrower is only required to pay the periodic interest. After the interest-only period, the loan will require the payment of both interest and principal over the remaining term. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately 3.3% of the outstanding balances of residential mortgage loans were in the interest-only phase. Approximately 91.1% of the interest-only balances will begin amortizing within the next three years. Approximately 1.5% of interest-only loans are 30 days or more past due and still accruing and 1.3% are on nonaccrual status.
 
Home equity lines, which are a component of the direct retail portfolio, generally require interest-only payments during the first 15 years after origination. After this initial period, the outstanding balance begins amortizing and requires the payment of both interest and principal. At March 31, 2016 , approximately 75.4% of the outstanding balances of home equity lines were in the interest-only phase. Approximately 10.2% of these balances will begin amortizing within the next three years. The delinquency rate of interest-only lines is similar to amortizing lines.
 
TDRs occur when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near-term and a concession has been granted to the borrower. As a result, BB&T will work with the borrower to prevent further difficulties and ultimately improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan. To facilitate this process, a concessionary modification that would not otherwise be considered may be granted, resulting in classification of the loan as a TDR. Refer to the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" Note in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for additional policy information regarding TDRs.
 
Performing TDRs totaled $981 million at March 31, 2016 , a decrease of $1 million compared to December 31, 2015 . The following table provides a summary of HFI performing TDR activity:

Allowance for Credit Losses
 
The ACL, which consists of the ALLL and the RUFC, totaled $1.6 billion at March 31, 2016 , an increase of $30 million compared to December 31, 2015 .

The allowance for loan and lease losses, excluding the allowance for loans acquired from the FDIC and PCI loans, was $1.4 billion , up $26 million compared to the prior quarter. The allowance for loans acquired from the FDIC and PCI loans was $63 million , essentially flat compared to the prior quarter. As of March 31, 2016 , the total allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.10% of loans and leases held for investment, compared to 1.07% at December 31, 2015 . These amounts include acquired loans, which do not receive an ALLL at the acquisition date.

The allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.89 times nonperforming loans and leases held for investment, compared to 2.53 times at December 31, 2015 . This change reflects the increase in commercial nonaccrual loans discussed above. At March 31, 2016 , the allowance for loan and lease losses was 2.40 times annualized net charge-offs, compared to 2.83 times at December 31, 2015 .

The energy portfolio totals approximately $1.6 billion and has allocated reserves of 8.5%. This portfolio does not include any offshore, second lien or mezzanine loans.

Net charge-offs during the first quarter totaled $154 million , an increase of $24 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to $30 million of charge-offs related to the energy lending portfolio. As a percentage of average loans and leases, annualized net charge-offs were 0.46% , compared to 0.38% in the prior quarter.

Charge-offs related to PCI loans represent realized losses in certain acquired loan pools that exceed the amounts originally estimated at the acquisition date. This impairment was provided for in prior quarters and therefore the charge-offs have no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
Refer to the "Loans and ACL" Note in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional disclosures.
 
The following table presents an allocation of the ALLL at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . This allocation of the ALLL is calculated on an approximate basis and is not necessarily indicative of future losses or allocations. The entire amount of the allowance is available to absorb losses occurring in any category of loans and leases.

FDIC Loss Share Receivable and Assets Acquired from the FDIC
 
In connection with the Colonial acquisition, Branch Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC that outline the terms and conditions under which the FDIC will reimburse Branch Bank for a portion of the losses incurred on certain loans, OREO, investment securities and other assets. Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for additional information regarding the loss sharing agreements and a summary of the accounting treatment for related assets and liabilities. The following table presents the carrying amount of assets by loss share agreement:

As of October 1, 2014, the loss provisions of the commercial loss sharing agreement expired; however, gains on the disposition of assets subject to this agreement will be shared with the FDIC through September 30, 2017. Any gains realized after September 30, 2017 would not be shared with the FDIC. Assets subject to the single family loss sharing agreement are indemnified through August 31, 2019.
 
The gain/loss sharing coverage related to the acquired AFS securities is based on a contractually-specified value of the securities as of the date of the commercial loss sharing agreement, adjusted to reflect subsequent pay-downs, redemptions or maturities on the underlying securities. The contractually-specified value of these securities was approximately $472 million and $492 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. During the period of gain sharing (October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2017), any decline in the fair value of the acquired AFS securities down to the contractually-specified value would reduce BB&T's liability to the FDIC at the applicable loss sharing percentage. BB&T is not indemnified for declines in the fair value of the acquired securities below the contractually-specified amount.
 
The following table provides information related to the carrying amounts and fair values of the components of the FDIC loss share receivable (payable):

The decrease in the carrying amount of the FDIC loss share receivable attributable to loans acquired from the FDIC was due to the receipt of cash from the FDIC, negative accretion due to credit loss improvement and the offset to the provision for loans acquired from the FDIC. The change in the carrying amount attributable to the aggregate loss calculation is primarily due to accretion up to the expected payment. The fair values are based upon a discounted cash flow methodology that is consistent with the acquisition date methodology. The fair value attributable to acquired loans and the aggregate loss calculation changes over time due to the receipt of cash from the FDIC, updated credit loss assumptions and the passage of time. The fair value attributable to securities acquired from the FDIC is based upon the timing and amount that would be payable to the FDIC should the securities settle at the current fair value at the conclusion of the gain sharing period.
 
The cumulative amount recognized through earnings related to securities acquired from the FDIC resulted in a liability of $283 million as of March 31, 2016 . Securities acquired from the FDIC are classified as AFS and carried at fair market value, and the changes in unrealized gains/losses are offset by the applicable loss share percentage in AOCI, which resulted in an additional pre-tax liability of $244 million as of March 31, 2016 . BB&T would only owe these amounts to the FDIC if BB&T were to sell these securities prior to October 1, 2017. BB&T does not currently intend to dispose of the acquired securities.
 

56


Following the conclusion of the 10 year loss share period in 2019, should actual aggregate losses, excluding securities, be less than an amount determined in accordance with these agreements, BB&T will pay the FDIC a portion of the difference. As of March 31, 2016 , BB&T projects that in 2019 it would owe the FDIC approximately $170 million under the aggregate loss calculation. This liability is expensed over time and BB&T has recognized total expense of approximately $151 million through March 31, 2016 .
 
Deposits
 
Deposits totaled $150.5 billion at March 31, 2016 , an increase of $1.4 billion from December 31, 2015 . This change includes a $1.6 billion increase in noninterest-bearing deposits and a $505 million increase in interest checking, partially offset by a $580 million decrease in time deposits.

Average deposits for the first quarter were $149.9 billion , an increase of $1.4 billion compared to the prior quarter. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $379 million due to increases in personal balances and public funds, partially offset by decreases in commercial balances.

Interest checking grew $1.4 billion due to increases in personal balances and public funds, while money market and savings declined $1.0 billion primarily due to declines in commercial balances. Average time deposits were down slightly as declines in personal balances and IRAs were largely offset by increases in commercial balances.

Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 30.8% of total average deposits for the first quarter, compared to 30.9% for the prior quarter and 30.6% a year ago. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.25% for the first quarter, up one basis point compared to the prior quarter.

Borrowings
 
At March 31, 2016 , short-term borrowings totaled $4.1 billion , an increase of $537 million compared to December 31, 2015 . Short-term borrowings fluctuate based on the Company's funding needs. Long-term debt totaled $22.8 billion at March 31, 2016 , a decrease of $946 million from the balance at December 31, 2015 , which reflects normal repayment activity.
 
Shareholders' Equity
 
Total shareholders' equity at March 31, 2016 was $28.2 billion , an increase of $899 million compared to December 31, 2015 . This increase was primarily driven by net income of $570 million , a preferred stock issuance for net proceeds of $451 million and a $111 million net change in AOCI, partially offset by common and preferred dividends totaling $248 million. BB&T's book value per common share at March 31, 2016 was $32.14 , compared to $31.66 at December 31, 2015 .

Merger-Related and Restructuring Activities
 
In conjunction with the consummation of an acquisition and completion of other requirements, BB&T typically accrues certain merger-related expenses, which may include estimated severance and other personnel-related costs, costs to terminate lease contracts, costs related to the disposal of duplicate facilities and equipment, costs to terminate data processing contracts and other costs associated with the acquisition. Merger-related and restructuring accruals are re-evaluated periodically and adjusted as necessary. The remaining accruals at March 31, 2016 are expected to be utilized within one year, unless they relate to specific contracts that expire later. The following table presents a summary of BB&T's merger accrual activity.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T are in accordance with GAAP and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. BB&T's financial position and results of operations are affected by management's application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations and related disclosures. The more critical accounting and reporting policies include accounting for the ACL, determining fair value of financial instruments, intangible assets, costs and benefit obligations associated with pension and postretirement benefit plans, and income taxes. Understanding BB&T's accounting policies is fundamental to understanding the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, the critical accounting policies are discussed in detail in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in detail in "Basis of Presentation" Note in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Effective January 1, 2016, BB&T adopted the fair value method for commercial MSRs. There have been no other changes to the significant accounting policies during 2016 . Additional disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in the "Basis of Presentation" Note included herein.
 
Risk Management
 
BB&T has a strong and consistent risk culture, based on established risk values, which promotes predictable and consistent performance within an environment of open communication and effective challenge. The strong culture influences all associates in the organization daily and helps them evaluate whether risks are acceptable or unacceptable while making decisions that balance quality, profitability and growth appropriately. BB&T's effective risk management framework establishes an environment which enables it to achieve superior performance relative to peers, ensures that BB&T is viewed among the safest of banks and assures the operational freedom to act on opportunities.
 
BB&T ensures that there is an appropriate return for the amount of risk taken, and that the expected return is in line with its strategic objectives and business plan. Risk-taking activities are evaluated and prioritized to identify those that present attractive risk-adjusted returns while preserving asset value. BB&T only undertakes risks that are understood and can be managed effectively. By managing risk well, BB&T ensures sufficient capital is available to maintain and grow core business operations in a safe and sound manner.
 

58


Regardless of financial gain or loss to the Company, associates are held accountable if they do not follow the established risk management policies and procedures. Compensation decisions take into account an associate's adherence to and successful implementation of BB&T's risk values. The compensation structure supports the Company's core values and sound risk management practices in an effort to promote judicious risk-taking behavior.
 
BB&T's risk culture encourages transparency and open dialogue between all levels in the performance of organizational functions, such as the development, marketing and implementation of a product or service.
 
The principal types of inherent risk include compliance, credit, liquidity, market, operational, reputation and strategic risks. Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for disclosures related to each of these risks under the section titled "Risk Management."
 
Market Risk Management
 
The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving BB&T's strategic financial objectives. As a financial institution, BB&T's most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also includes product liquidity risk, price risk and volatility risk in BB&T's BUs. The primary objectives of market risk management are to minimize any adverse effect that changes in market risk factors may have on net interest income, net income and capital and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets recorded at fair value. At BB&T, market risk management also includes the enterprise-wide IPV function.
 
Interest Rate Market Risk (Other than Trading)
 
BB&T actively manages market risk associated with asset and liability portfolios with a focus on the strategic pricing of asset and liability accounts and management of appropriate maturity mixes of assets and liabilities. The goal of these activities is the development of appropriate maturity and repricing opportunities in BB&T's portfolios of assets and liabilities that will produce reasonably consistent net interest income during periods of changing interest rates. These portfolios are analyzed for proper fixed-rate and variable-rate mixes under various interest rate scenarios.
 
The asset/liability management process is designed to achieve relatively stable NIM and assure liquidity by coordinating the volumes, maturities or repricing opportunities of earning assets, deposits and borrowed funds. Among other things, this process gives consideration to prepayment trends related to securities, loans and leases and certain deposits that have no stated maturity. Prepayment assumptions are developed using a combination of market data and internal historical prepayment experience for residential mortgage-related loans and securities, and internal historical prepayment experience for client deposits with no stated maturity and loans that are not residential mortgage related. These assumptions are subject to monthly back-testing, and are adjusted as deemed necessary to reflect changes in interest rates relative to the reference rate of the underlying assets or liabilities. On a monthly basis, BB&T evaluates the accuracy of its Simulation model, which includes an evaluation of its prepayment assumptions, to ensure that all significant assumptions inherent in the model appropriately reflect changes in the interest rate environment and related trends in prepayment activity. It is the responsibility of the MRLCC to determine and achieve the most appropriate volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as to ensure an adequate level of liquidity and capital, within the context of corporate performance goals. The MRLCC also sets policy guidelines and establishes long-term strategies with respect to interest rate risk exposure and liquidity. The MRLCC meets regularly to review BB&T's interest rate risk and liquidity positions in relation to present and prospective market and business conditions, and adopts funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended to ensure that the potential impacts on earnings and liquidity as a result of fluctuations in interest rates are within acceptable tolerance guidelines.
 
BB&T uses derivatives primarily to manage economic risk related to securities, commercial loans, MSRs and mortgage banking operations, long-term debt and other funding sources. BB&T also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients. As of March 31, 2016 , BB&T had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $70.7 billion , with a net fair value gain of $224 million . See the "Derivative Financial Instruments" Note in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" herein for additional disclosures.
 
The majority of BB&T's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. Fluctuations in interest rates and actions of the FRB to regulate the availability and cost of credit have a greater effect on a financial institution's profitability than do the effects of higher costs for goods and services. Through its balance sheet management function, which is monitored by the MRLCC, management believes that BB&T is positioned to respond to changing needs for liquidity, changes in interest rates and inflationary trends.

Management uses the Simulation to measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates. The Simulation projects net interest income and interest rate risk for a rolling two-year period of time. The Simulation takes into account the current contractual agreements that BB&T has made with its customers on deposits, borrowings, loans, investments and commitments to enter into those transactions. Furthermore, the Simulation considers the impact of expected customer behavior. Management monitors BB&T's interest sensitivity by means of a model that incorporates the current volumes, average rates earned and paid, and scheduled maturities and payments of asset and liability portfolios, together with multiple scenarios that include projected prepayments, repricing opportunities and anticipated volume growth. Using this information, the model projects earnings based on projected portfolio balances under multiple interest rate scenarios. This level of detail is needed to simulate the effect that changes in interest rates and portfolio balances may have on the earnings of BB&T. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but management believes that it provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses such as static or dynamic gap. In addition to the Simulation, BB&T uses EVE analysis to focus on projected changes in capital given potential changes in interest rates. This measure also allows BB&T to analyze interest rate risk that falls outside the analysis window contained in the Simulation. The EVE model is a discounted cash flow of the portfolio of assets, liabilities, and derivative instruments. The difference in the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities is defined as the economic value of equity.
 
The asset/liability management process requires a number of key assumptions. Management determines the most likely outlook for the economy and interest rates by analyzing external factors, including published economic projections and data, the effects of likely monetary and fiscal policies, as well as any enacted or prospective regulatory changes. BB&T's current and prospective liquidity position, current balance sheet volumes and projected growth, accessibility of funds for short-term needs and capital maintenance are also considered. This data is combined with various interest rate scenarios to provide management with the information necessary to analyze interest sensitivity and to aid in the development of strategies to reach performance goals.
 
The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on net interest income as projected for the next twelve months assuming a gradual change in interest rates as described below. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related and other assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing, deposit sensitivity, customer preferences and capital plans. The resulting change in net interest income reflects the level of interest rate sensitivity that income has in relation to the investment, loan and deposit portfolios.

The MRLCC has established parameters related to interest sensitivity that prescribe a maximum negative impact on net interest income under different interest rate scenarios. In the event the results of the Simulation model fall outside the established parameters, management will make recommendations to the MRLCC on the most appropriate response given the current economic forecast. The following parameters and interest rate scenarios are considered BB&T's primary measures of interest rate risk:
 
Maximum negative impact on net interest income of 2% for the next 12 months assuming a 25 basis point change in interest rates each month for four months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining eight month period.

Maximum negative impact on net interest income of 4% for the next 12 months assuming a 25 basis point change in interest rates each month for eight months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining four month period.
 

60


If a rate change of 200 basis points cannot be modeled due to a low level of rates, a proportional limit applies. Management currently only models a negative 25 basis point decline because larger declines would have resulted in a Federal funds rate of less than zero. In a situation such as this, the maximum negative impact on net interest income is adjusted on a proportional basis. Regardless of the proportional limit, the negative risk exposure limit will be the greater of 2% or the proportional limit.
 
Management has also established a maximum negative impact on net interest income of 4% for an immediate 100 basis points change in rates and 8% for an immediate 200 basis points change in rates. These "interest rate shock" limits are designed to create an outer band of acceptable risk based upon a significant and immediate change in rates.
 
Management also considers potential negative interest rate scenarios, which implies that a depositor would pay a premium for a financial institution to hold funds on deposit. In such a scenario, some depositors may choose to withdraw their deposits in lieu of paying an interest rate to BB&T to hold such deposits. As a result, management considers potential pricing and structure changes, such as the movement to a primarily fee-based deposit system. Negative rates would also diminish the spreads on loans and securities. As a result, management considers interest rate floors or rate index floors in loans to mitigate this risk. BB&T purchases both fixed and variable rate securities. The fixed rate securities would be beneficial in a negative interest rate environment.

Management must also consider how the balance sheet and interest rate risk position could be impacted by changes in balance sheet mix. Liquidity in the banking industry has been very strong during the current economic cycle. Much of this liquidity increase has been due to a significant increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Consistent with the industry, Branch Bank has seen a significant increase in this funding source. The behavior of these deposits is one of the most important assumptions used in determining the interest rate risk position of BB&T. A loss of these deposits in the future would reduce the asset sensitivity of BB&T's balance sheet as the Company increases interest-bearing funds to offset the loss of this advantageous funding source.
 
Beta represents the correlation between overall market interest rates and the rates paid by BB&T on interest-bearing deposits. BB&T applies an average beta of approximately 80% to its managed rate deposits for determining its interest rate sensitivity. Managed rate deposits are high beta, premium money market and interest checking accounts, which attract significant client funds when needed to support balance sheet growth. BB&T regularly conducts sensitivity on other key variables to determine the impact they could have on the interest rate risk position. This allows BB&T to evaluate the likely impact on its balance sheet management strategies due to a more extreme variation in a key assumption than expected.
 
The following table shows the effect that the loss of demand deposits and an associated increase in managed rate deposits would have on BB&T's interest-rate sensitivity position. For purposes of this analysis, BB&T modeled the incremental beta for the replacement of the lost demand deposits at 100%.

Market Risk from Trading Activities
 
BB&T also manages market risk from trading activities which consists of acting as a financial intermediary to provide its customers access to derivatives, foreign exchange and securities markets. Trading market risk is managed through the use of statistical and non-statistical risk measures and limits. BB&T utilizes a historical VaR methodology to measure and aggregate risks across its covered trading BUs. This methodology uses two years of historical data to estimate economic outcomes for a one-day time horizon at a 99% confidence level. The average 99% one-day VaR and the maximum daily VaR for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were each less than $1 million. Market risk disclosures under Basel II.5 are available in the Additional Disclosures section of the Investor Relations site on www.bbt.com .

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Related Party Transactions
 
Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for discussion with respect to BB&T's quantitative and qualitative disclosures about its fixed and determinable contractual obligations. Additional disclosures about BB&T's contractual obligations, commitments and derivative financial instruments are included in the "Commitments and Contingencies" Note and "Fair Value Disclosures" Note in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."

Liquidity
 
Liquidity represents the continuing ability to meet funding needs, including deposit withdrawals, timely repayment of borrowings and other liabilities, and funding of loan commitments. In addition to the level of liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents and AFS securities, many other factors affect the ability to meet liquidity needs, including access to a variety of funding sources, maintaining borrowing capacity in national money markets, growing core deposits, the repayment of loans and the ability to securitize or package loans for sale.
 

62


BB&T monitors the ability to meet customer demand for funds under both normal and stressed market conditions. In considering its liquidity position, management evaluates BB&T's funding mix based on client core funding, client rate-sensitive funding and non-client rate-sensitive funding. In addition, management also evaluates exposure to rate-sensitive funding sources that mature in one year or less. Management also measures liquidity needs against 30 days of stressed cash outflows for Branch Bank. To ensure a strong liquidity position, management maintains a liquid asset buffer of cash on hand and highly liquid unpledged securities. The Company has established a policy that the liquid asset buffer would be a minimum of 5% of total assets, but intends to maintain the ratio well in excess of this level. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , BB&T's liquid asset buffer was 14.5% and 13.5%, respectively, of total assets.
 
BB&T is considered to be a "modified LCR" holding company. BB&T would be subject to full LCR requirements if its operations were to fall under the "internationally active" rules, which would generally be triggered if BB&T's assets were to increase above $250 billion. BB&T produces LCR calculations to effectively manage the position of High-Quality Liquid Assets and the balance sheet deposit mix to optimize BB&T's liquidity position. BB&T's LCR was approximately 135% at March 31, 2016 , compared to the regulatory minimum for such entities of 90%, which puts BB&T in full compliance with the rule. The regulatory minimum will increase to 100% on January 1, 2017.
 
On April 27, 2016, the OCC, the FRB and the FDIC released a notice of proposed rulemaking for the US version of the net stable funding ratio.  Under the proposal, BB&T will be a "modified NSFR" holding company. BB&T would be subject to full NSFR requirements if its operations were to fall under the "internationally active" rules, which would generally be triggered if BB&T's assets were to increase above $250 billion. BB&T is evaluating the information in the release but does not currently expect a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition. The proposed rule would become effective January 1, 2018.

Parent Company
 
The purpose of the Parent Company is to serve as the primary capital financing vehicle for the operating subsidiaries. The assets of the Parent Company primarily consist of cash on deposit with Branch Bank, equity investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, accounts receivable from subsidiaries, and other miscellaneous assets. The principal obligations of the Parent Company are principal and interest payments on long-term debt. The main sources of funds for the Parent Company are dividends and management fees from subsidiaries, repayments of advances to subsidiaries, and proceeds from the issuance of equity and long-term debt. The primary uses of funds by the Parent Company are for investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, dividend payments to common and preferred shareholders, retirement of common stock and interest and principal payments due on long-term debt.
 
Liquidity at the Parent Company is more susceptible to market disruptions. BB&T prudently manages cash levels at the Parent Company to cover a minimum of one year of projected contractual cash outflows which includes unfunded external commitments, debt service, preferred dividends and scheduled debt maturities without the benefit of any new cash infusions. Generally, BB&T maintains a significant buffer above the projected one year of contractual cash outflows. In determining the buffer, BB&T considers cash requirements for common and preferred dividends, unfunded commitments to affiliates, being a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries and being able to withstand sustained market disruptions that could limit access to the capital markets. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Parent Company had 34 months and 36 months, respectively, of cash on hand to satisfy projected contractual cash outflows as described above.
 
Branch Bank
 
BB&T carefully manages liquidity risk at Branch Bank. Branch Bank's primary source of funding is customer deposits. Continued access to customer deposits is highly dependent on the confidence the public has in the stability of the bank and its ability to return funds to the client when requested. BB&T maintains a strong focus on its reputation in the market to ensure continued access to client deposits. BB&T integrates its risk appetite into its overall risk management framework to ensure the bank does not exceed its risk tolerance through its lending and other risk taking functions and thus risk becoming undercapitalized. BB&T believes that sufficient capital is paramount to maintaining the confidence of its depositors and other funds providers. BB&T has extensive capital management processes in place to ensure it maintains sufficient capital to absorb losses and maintain a highly capitalized position that will instill confidence in the bank and allow continued access to deposits and other funding sources. Branch Bank monitors many liquidity metrics at the bank including funding concentrations, diversification, maturity distribution, contingent funding needs and ability to meet liquidity requirements under times of stress.
 

63


Branch Bank has several major sources of funding to meet its liquidity requirements, including access to capital markets through issuance of senior or subordinated bank notes and institutional CDs, access to the FHLB system, dealer repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements with commercial clients, access to the overnight and term Federal funds markets, use of a Cayman branch facility, access to retail brokered CDs and a borrower in custody program with the FRB for the discount window. As of March 31, 2016 , Branch Bank has approximately $77.6 billion of secured borrowing capacity, which represents approximately 6.4 times the amount of one year wholesale funding maturities.

Capital
 
The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on a regular basis. BB&T's principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support BB&T's risk profile consistent with the Board-approved risk appetite, provide financial flexibility to support future growth and client needs, comply with relevant laws, regulations, and supervisory guidance, achieve optimal credit ratings for BB&T and its subsidiaries and provide a competitive return to shareholders.
 
Management regularly monitors the capital position of BB&T on both a consolidated and bank level basis. In this regard, management's overriding policy is to maintain capital at levels that are in excess of the operating capital guidelines, which are above the regulatory "well capitalized" levels. Management has implemented stressed capital ratio minimum guidelines to evaluate whether capital ratios calculated with planned capital actions are likely to remain above minimums specified by the FRB for the annual CCAR. Breaches of stressed minimum guidelines prompt a review of the planned capital actions included in BB&T's capital plan.

While nonrecurring events or management decisions may result in the Company temporarily falling below its operating minimum guidelines for one or more of these ratios, it is management's intent through capital planning to return to these targeted operating minimums within a reasonable period of time. Such temporary decreases below the operating minimums shown above are not considered an infringement of BB&T's overall capital policy provided the Company and Branch Bank remain well-capitalized.
 
Basel III capital requirements became effective on January 1, 2015. Risk-based capital ratios for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 , which include common equity tier 1, Tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage capital, are calculated based on Basel III regulatory transitional guidance related to the measurement of capital, risk-weighted assets and average assets.

Share Repurchase Activity
 
During June of 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase plan, the 2015 Repurchase Plan, to repurchase up to 50 million shares of the Company's common stock. Repurchases under the 2015 Repurchase Plan may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. The timing and exact amount of repurchases will be consistent with the Company's capital plan and subject to various factors, including the Company's capital position, liquidity, financial performance, alternative uses of capital, stock trading price and general market conditions, and may be suspended at any time. Shares that are repurchased pursuant to the 2015 Repurchase Plan will constitute authorized but unissued shares of the Company and will therefore be available for future issuances. No shares have been repurchased in connection with the 2015 Repurchase Plan during 2016.
