PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations regarding future events or determinations, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, market trends, industry results or regulatory outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, among others:
•statements with respect to the beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, targets, commitments, designs, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, and future financial condition, results of operations and performance of Zions Bancorporation, National Association and its subsidiaries (collectively “Zions Bancorporation, N.A.,” “the Bank,” “we,” “our,” “us”), and statements concerning the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Bank's businesses and financial results and condition; and

Further, statements about the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Bank’s businesses and financial results and condition may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond the Bank’s control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on the Bank, its customers and third parties.
Except to the extent required by law, the Bank specifically disclaims any obligation to update any factors or to publicly announce the result of revisions to any of the forward-looking statements included herein to reflect future events or developments.

GAAP to NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
This Form 10-Q presents non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to provide investors with additional information. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are presented in the following schedules. The Bank considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results and provide a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance and financial position of the Bank and for presentations of Bank performance to investors. The Bank further believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Bank on the same basis as that applied by management.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, and are not required to be uniformly applied by individual entities. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
The following are non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Form 10-Q and a discussion of the reasons for which management uses these non-GAAP measures:
Return on Average Tangible Common Equity – this schedule also includes “net earnings applicable to common shareholders, excluding the effects of the adjustment, net of tax” and “average tangible common equity.” Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides useful information to management and others about the Bank’s use of shareholders’ equity. Management believes the use of ratios that utilize tangible equity provides additional useful information about performance because they present measures of those assets that can generate income.

Tangible Equity Ratio, Tangible Common Equity Ratio, and Tangible Book Value per Common Share – this schedule also includes “tangible equity,” “tangible common equity,” and “tangible assets.” Tangible equity ratio, tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provides additional useful information about the levels of tangible assets and tangible equity in relation to outstanding shares of common stock. Management believes the use of ratios that utilize tangible equity provides additional useful information to management and others about capital adequacy because they present measures of those assets that can generate income.

Efficiency Ratio and Adjusted Pre-Provision Net Revenue – this schedule also includes “adjusted noninterest expense,” “taxable-equivalent net interest income,” “adjusted taxable-equivalent revenue,” “pre-provision net revenue" (“PPNR”) and “adjusted PPNR.” The methodology of determining the efficiency ratio may differ among companies. Management makes adjustments to exclude certain items as identified in the subsequent schedule which it believes allows for more consistent comparability among periods. Management believes the efficiency ratio provides useful information regarding the cost of generating revenue. Adjusted noninterest expense provides a measure as to how well the Bank is managing its expenses, and adjusted PPNR enables management and others to assess the Bank’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle. Taxable-equivalent net interest income allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Summary
The financial performance in the first quarter of 2020 reflects moderate loan growth, demand and interest-bearing deposit growth, customer-related fee improvement, and expense control. The positive impact of these items was partially offset by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, a 150 basis point reduction to the Federal Funds target rate in March 2020, and a decline in oil and gas-related prices. During the first quarter, the provision for credit losses increased as a result of the uncertain economic impact related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net interest margin compression remained a challenge as loan yields declined, but was partially offset by a decline in the cost of deposits and borrowed funds. For more information on the Bank's first quarter of 2020 performance, see "First Quarter 2020 Financial Performance" on page 11 in Management's Discussion and Analysis.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In the latter part of the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic manifested its impact on individuals, companies, and governmental entities around the world. It has significantly curtailed the global economy and created a challenging operating environment. As economic conditions deteriorated in mid-March as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we responded rapidly. Some of the key adjustments and developments include the following:
•For our employees:
◦Enhancing the ability of our employees to work remotely, adjusting branch operating hours and restricting lobby access in many cases.
◦Providing significant support to employees by granting an increase in flexibility with paid leave, temporarily adjusting vacation policies, and increasing the cleaning of facilities to enable a safer environment for those employees that are not able to work from home.
•For our customers and communities:
◦Offering short-term loan payment and fee forbearance programs. Thousands of borrowers have requested and received temporary forbearance from obligations to assist them with the expected shortage in their near-term cash flow.
◦Moving certain offshore operations domestically to ensure that information security standards are met and that our customers are provided with the service and support they need.
◦Facilitating government programs. See "SBA Paycheck Protection Program" in this section for more information.
◦Investing in our communities. We plan to use a portion of the proceeds received from the SBA PPP loans and invest in the communities we serve.
•For our shareholders and regulators:
◦Maintaining our capital ratios at strong levels and materially augmenting our allowance for credit losses ("ACL"), increasing the ACL by $221 million, or 40%.
◦Reducing costs where possible, including reducing incentive compensation for certain executives that is linked to profitability and credit quality performance.
Select Industries Significantly Affected by COVID-19
We believe select industries have elevated risk due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result, loans to these industries are being closely managed. The following chart shows the Bank's loan balances in some of these industries. The total loan balance in these selected industries was $5.6 billion, or 11.2% of total loans, as of March 31, 2020. As of mid-April, more than 95% of loans in these industries were not deferring payments, and many loans in various industries have strong collateral coverage. The oil and gas-related industry has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and broader international production matters, but is not identified in the subsequent table. For more information see "Oil and Gas-Related Exposure" on page 23 of Management's Discussion and Analysis.
9
Utilization of available credit for the total loan portfolio increased approximately two percentage points in the first quarter of 2020, compared with the fourth quarter of 2019. Industries where utilization increased include retail-related (excluding supermarkets, gas stations and automotive dealerships), dentists, hotels, restaurants (full-service and bars), construction, financials (non-banks), and manufacturing. The utilization rate remained relatively stable within restaurants (limited/quick service), travel, tourism and theme parks, and day care facilities. For information on loan modifications related to COVID-19 see "COVID-19 modifications" on page 28 of Management's Discussion and Analysis.
SBA Paycheck Protection Program
Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we provided assistance to many small businesses through the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program. This program provides small businesses with funds to pay up to eight weeks of payroll costs including benefits. A portion of the funds can also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities.
We processed approximately $4.4 billion of PPP loans for more than 14,000 customers in the first round of SBA PPP loan fundings. We ranked ninth by dollar volume of all the participating financial institutions as cited by the SBA. Payments by borrowers on the loans begin six months after the note date, and interest, at 1%, will continue to accrue during the six-month deferment. Loans can be forgiven in whole or part (up to full principal and any accrued interest).
Loan processing fees paid to the Bank from the SBA are accounted for as loan origination fees. Net deferred fees are recognized over the life of the loan, or two years, as a yield adjustment on the loans. If a loan is paid off or forgiven by the SBA prior to its maturity date, the remaining unamortized deferred fees will be recognized in interest income at that time. At such time that any of these loans are forgiven or repaid before the scheduled maturity, we expect an increase in interest income and the net interest margin during that period.

First Quarter 2020 Financial Performance
| Net Earnings Applicable to Common Shareholders (in millions) | Provision for Credit Losses | Adjusted PPNR (in millions) | Efficiency ratio | |||||||||||||||||
|
The decline in earnings was primarily due to a $258 million provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2020 compared with a $4 million provision for both the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2019.
|
The provision for credit losses increased $254 million from both the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to the uncertain economic impact related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and also from prolonged stress in energy prices.
|
The increase in adjusted PPNR from the prior year period is primarily a result of a $24 million decrease in adjusted noninterest expense, partially offset by a $10 million decrease in adjusted taxable-equivalent revenue. |
Our efficiency ratio improved as a result of expense control, including a reduction in workforce during the fourth quarter of 2019. Credit-related, advertising, travel, entertainment, donation, and other miscellaneous expenses decreased from the prior year quarter.
|
|||||||||||||||||
The Bank reported net earnings applicable to common shareholders of $6 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2020, compared with net earnings applicable to common shareholders of $205 million, or $1.04 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2019.
During this time of economic uncertainty, we materially strengthened our allowance for credit losses. Although net charge-offs remained low at $7 million during the first quarter of 2020, compared with zero net charge-offs during the prior year quarter, we expect an increase in loan charge-offs in subsequent quarters as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and the related effect on our customers.
Looking forward, we confront the uncertain current economic environment with a strong capital and reserve position, a robust liquidity profile, and a loan portfolio that has been substantially “de-risked” in recent years and that largely tends to have collateral as a secondary source of repayment - a characteristic that has historically resulted in lower loss rates per dollar of troubled loans.
Net income decreased by $199 million from $213 million in the first quarter of 2019 to $14 million in the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to a $254 million increase in the provision for credit losses and a $28 million decrease in net interest income. The decrease in net income was partially offset by a $59 million reduction in income taxes, a $21 million increase in customer-related fees and a $13 million decline in salaries and employee benefits. Customer-related fees increased primarily from loan-related fees as a result of increased mortgage originations and sales in addition to customer interest rate swap fees.
Net interest income decreased from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020, primarily from lower interest rates earned on interest-earning assets and lower investment securities balances, partially offset by loan growth and lower interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
Adjusted PPNR of $299 million for the first quarter of 2020 was up $14 million, or 5%, from the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted noninterest expense decreased by $24 million in the same period, reflecting expense control and the reduction in workforce announced in October 2019. The Bank’s efficiency ratio was 57.7% in the first quarter of
11
2020 compared with 60.2% in the first quarter of 2019 and 61.3% in the fourth quarter of 2019. See “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” on page 6 for more information regarding the calculation of adjusted PPNR.
Our average loan portfolio increased $1.6 billion, or 3%, since the first quarter of 2019, with commercial loans accounting for approximately 67% of the growth. The yields on average loans decreased by 51 bps. Overall, from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020, classified loans increased by $152 million, or 21%, and nonaccrual loans increased by $40 million, or 17%. The ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans was 0.06% for the first quarter of 2020, compared with zero net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2019. Unfunded lending commitments increased $0.3 billion, or 1.3%, to $22.7 billion at March 31, 2020 from $22.4 billion at March 31, 2019.
At March 31, 2020, oil and gas-related loans represented 5% of the total loan portfolio, compared with 8% at December 31, 2014, or the beginning of the last energy cycle. Since December 31, 2014 the mix of oil and gas-related loans has shifted toward lower risk loans and underwriting standards have been strengthened. For the first quarter of 2020, the classified oil and gas-related loan ratio was 3.4%, oil and gas-related net charge-offs were $1 million, and the ACL related to oil and gas-related loans exceeded 5%. See "Oil and Gas-Related Exposure" on page 23 for additional information on oil and gas-related loans.
Areas of focus for 2020
We started 2020 with a continued focus on initiatives related to Bank profitability and returns on- and of-equity as detailed in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K (see “Focus for 2020” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K). More recently, with the human and economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are focusing on servicing our customers, communities and employees who have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as previously discussed, as well as continuing our normal operations. We believe this focus will create the best long-term value for our shareholders.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities and is more than three-quarters of our revenue. Net interest income is derived from both the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and their respective yields/rates.
Net interest income decreased $28 million to $548 million in the first quarter of 2020 from $576 million in the first quarter of 2019.The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $38 million in interest and fees on loans and a $14 million decrease in interest on securities. Interest expense decreased $25 million from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020. Interest income recoveries did not materially impact the first quarter of 2020 or the prior year quarter.
The net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased to 3.41% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 3.68% in the same prior year period and 3.46% in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease in the NIM from the prior year quarter was a result of lower yields on loans and securities, a decrease in securities, and an increase in interest-bearing deposits. These decreases to the NIM were partially offset by loan growth, lower borrowed funds, and decreases in rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds. Excluding the effect of the PPP loans, we expect that the NIM will compress further in the next several quarters.
12
Average interest-earning assets increased $1.2 billion from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020, with average rates decreasing 44 basis points ("bps"). Excluding the effect of the PPP loans, we expect the average rate on interest-earning assets to decrease in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of declining interest rates, including 150 bps of Federal Funds target rate reductions in March 2020. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $1.1 billion during this same period, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 31 bps. We are continuing to work on reducing our cost of funds.
The average loan portfolio increased $1.6 billion, or 3%, between the first quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, with growth mainly in commercial loans. The loan growth was funded through a mix of deposits, securities run-off, and issuance of long-term debt. The average loan yield decreased 51 bps over the same period, with decreases of 52 bps, 69 bps, and 31 bps in commercial, CRE, and consumer loans, respectively.
Benchmark interest rates decreased in 2019 and 2020 and this decline has had a negative impact on yields. A portion of our variable-rate loans, such as those with longer initial rate periods or longer reset frequencies, have not yet been affected by declines in benchmark interest rates. Also, our earning assets generally reprice more quickly than our funding sources.
Average AFS securities balances decreased by $1.0 billion from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020. Yields on average AFS securities decreased by 23 bps over the same period.
Although we consider a wide variety of sources when determining our funding needs, we benefit from access to deposits from a significant number of small to mid-sized business customers which provide us with a low cost of funds that have a positive impact on our NIM. Because many of our deposit accounts are of an operating nature for businesses and households, we expect our noninterest-bearing deposits to remain a competitive advantage. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased by $378 million, or 2% from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020. Average noninterest-bearing deposits comprised 41% and 43% of average total deposits for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net impact of noninterest-bearing sources of funds on the NIM was 0.32% during the first quarter of 2020 compared with 0.46% during the first quarter of 2019, reflecting a decline in the value of money.
13
Average total deposits were $56.9 billion for the first quarter of 2020 compared with $53.9 billion for the first quarter of 2019. Average interest-bearing deposits grew 9% and were $33.3 billion for the first quarter of 2020, compared with $30.7 billion for the same prior year period. The daily average benchmark Federal Funds target rate decreased from 2.50% to 1.43% between the first quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, or 107 bps, while the rate paid on the Bank’s average interest-bearing deposits decreased 13 bps. We are actively monitoring and managing deposits, and have been reducing deposit rates since mid-2019, as benchmark Federal Funds interest rates have decreased. Our cost of total deposits decreased 7 basis point relative to the prior year quarter, and we plan to continue our ongoing efforts to better align deposit costs with lower market rates.
Average borrowed funds decreased by $1.5 billion from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020, with average short-term borrowings decreasing $2.4 billion and average long-term borrowings increasing by $0.9 billion. During 2019 the Bank issued $500 million of senior notes with an interest rate of 3.35% and $500 million of subordinated notes with an interest rate of 3.25%. Both of these note issuances were originally accompanied by fair value swap hedges which effectively transformed the borrowing cost to variable-rate. In late March 2020, we terminated the swaps which resulted in a reduction to the effective interest rate on the debt. For more information the termination of these swaps see Note 7 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The average interest rate paid on short-term borrowings and long-term debt decreased by 138 bps and 87 bps, respectively, from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020 due to lower interest rates, deposit growth and less reliance on short-term borrowings.
The spread on average interest-bearing funds was 3.09% and 3.22% for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The spread on average interest-bearing funds for these periods was affected by the same factors that impacted the NIM. Interest rate spreads and margins are impacted by the mix of assets we hold, the composition of our loan and securities portfolios, and the type of funding used. Our estimates of the Bank’s interest rate risk position are highly dependent upon a number of assumptions regarding the repricing behavior of various deposit and loan types in response to changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates, balance sheet composition, and other modeling assumptions, as well as the actions of competitors and customers in response to those changes. Further detail on interest rate risk is discussed in “Interest Rate and Market Risk Management” on page 29.
The following schedule summarizes the average balances, the amount of interest earned or incurred, and the applicable yields for interest-earning assets and the costs of interest-bearing liabilities that generate taxable-equivalent net interest income.

15
Provision for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is the combination of both the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments (RULC). The ALLL represents the estimated current expected credit losses over the contractual term of the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The RULC represents the estimated reserve for current expected credit losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments. Changes in the ALLL and RULC, including changes in net charge-offs, are recorded in the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded lending commitments in the income statement, respectively. The ACL for debt securities is estimated separately from loans.
The provision for credit losses, which is the combination of both the provision for loan losses and the provision for unfunded lending commitments, was $258 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared with $4 million in both the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2019. The ACL increased $221 million to $777 million at March 31, 2020, compared with $556 million at March 31, 2019. The increase in the ACL is primarily due to the uncertain economic impact related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and also from prolonged stress in energy prices. The provision for credit losses for debt securities was less than $1 million in the first quarter of 2020.
On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and its subsequent updates, often referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") accounting standard. Upon adoption of the ASU, Zions recorded the full amount of the ACL for loans and leases of $526 million, compared with $554 million at December 31, 2019, resulting in an after-tax increase to retained earnings of $20 million. The impact of the adoption of CECL for our securities portfolio was less than $1 million. As a result of this new accounting standard, we expect our ACL will become more volatile primarily because, under the new process, the allowance is subject to economic forecasts that may change materially from period to period.
The OCC, Federal Reserve, and FDIC issued a joint statement on March 27, 2020, revised on April 7, 2020, with proposed guidance for banking institutions that have adopted CECL in 2020. We adopted the provisions of this interim final rule, which allows banks an adjustment to dampen the impact of CECL adoption on regulatory capital ratios, beginning with the first quarter 2020 financial statements. As a result, we will delay recognizing the full amount of the March 31, 2020 impact of the ACL on regulatory capital until after a two-year deferral period, which for us extends through December 31, 2021. Beginning on January 1, 2022, we will be required to phase in 25% of the previously deferred estimated capital impact of the ACL, with an additional 25% to be phased in at the beginning of each subsequent year until fully phased in by the first quarter of 2025. The adoption of these provisions improved our CET1 capital ratio by 8 bps at March 31, 2020.
Note 6 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Credit Risk Management” on page 22 contains information on how we determine the appropriate level for the ALLL and the RULC. Also, for more information see "Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates" on page 39.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income represents revenues we earn for products and services that have no associated interest rate or yield. Growing noninterest income is a key strategic priority, and several strategic initiatives are underway to support this effort. Specifically, we are working to leverage our focus on commercial and small business customers to accelerate sales of capital markets products and wealth advisory services. Noninterest income accounted for 20% and 19% of net revenue during the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Noninterest income was $134 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $132 million for the first quarter of 2019.
We believe a subtotal of customer-related fees provides a better view of income over which we have more direct near-term control. It excludes items such as dividends, insurance-related income, mark-to-market adjustments on certain derivatives, and securities gains and losses. Customer-related fees increased by $21 million, or 17%, from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020, while non customer-related fees decreased by $19 million from $10 million to a negative $9 million during the same period.

Customer-related fees increased $21 million primarily due to a $10 million increase in loan-related fees and income as a result of increased mortgage originations and sales, and a $7 million increase in capital markets and foreign exchange fees resulting largely from customer interest rate swaps fees. Mortgage originations and sales increased due to increased origination volume and sales, largely the result of our efforts during the past two years to streamline and simplify our origination process using automation, as well as our increased focus at the branch level to offer mortgage products to a wider range of customers. Wealth management and trust fees increased by $2 million primarily from increased corporate and personal trust income. Fees from customer card usage declined from the prior year period, attributable in part to reduced economic activity in March 2020.
Dividends and other income decreased $12 million from the prior year period, to a negative $3 million. In the first quarter of 2020, the Bank recognized an $11 million negative credit valuation adjustment on client-related interest rate swaps, compared with a $3 million negative credit valuation adjustment in the prior year period. This change reflects the decline in interest rates during the past year and increased client activity, which significantly increased the value of, and the Bank’s credit exposure to, the client-related interest rate swaps. Securities losses of $6 million in the first quarter of 2020 were a result of decreases in the fair value of the Bank’s Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) investments.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense decreased by $22 million, or 5%, from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020, reflecting our ongoing efforts to reduce expenses and streamline operations. Adjusted noninterest expense decreased $24 million, or 6%, over the same period. The following schedule presents a comparison of the major components of noninterest expense.

Noninterest expense decreased from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020 primarily as a result of a $13 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits and a $6 million decrease in other noninterest expense. The decrease from the first quarter of 2019 in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to a $7 million decrease in incentive compensation and a $3 million decrease in the expected profit-sharing contribution to the employee 401(k) plan. Full-time equivalent employees decreased from 10,204 to 9,879 from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020 primarily as a result of the 5% workforce reduction announced in October 2019. However, base salaries did not decline 5% from the prior year first quarter due to the effects of inflation and merit increases and more working days during the current quarter. Other noninterest expense declined as a result of decreased travel and entertainment, donations, and other miscellaneous expenses. Both credit-related expense and advertising expense decreased by $2 million.
The Bank’s efficiency ratio was 57.7% in the first quarter of 2020 compared with 60.2% in the first quarter of 2019 and 61.3% in the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2020 decreased $24 million, or 6%, to $407 million, compared with $431 million for the same prior year period. To arrive at adjusted noninterest expense, GAAP noninterest expense is adjusted to exclude certain expense items, which are the same as those items excluded in arriving at the efficiency ratio (see “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” on page 6 for more information regarding the calculation of the efficiency ratio).
In October 2018, we announced the termination of the defined benefit pension plan subject to obtaining necessary regulatory approval. Completion of this termination is expected in 2020. Plan participant benefits will choose to receive an annuity or a lump-sum payment. The elimination of the plan is expected to result in a onetime charge of approximately $10 million to $15 million, likely toward the middle of 2020, in addition to the reclassification of an approximate $17 million loss out of AOCI into earnings. The current estimate of this expense is subject to change depending upon a number of factors including plan performance, participant elections between lump-sum distribution options and an annuity option, and market competitiveness in the annuity bid process.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2020 was $2 million compared with $61 million for the same prior year period as a result of lower income during the first quarter of 2020. The effective income tax rates were 12.5% and 22.3% for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, as a result of the proportional increase in nontaxable items and tax credits relative to pretax book income as compared to the prior year period. Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contains additional information about the factors that influenced the income tax rates and information about deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

Preferred Stock Dividends
Preferred stock dividends have been consistent over the past year and were $8 million for both the first quarters of 2020 and 2019.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Interest-Earning Assets
Interest-earning assets are those assets that have interest rates or yields associated with them. One of our goals is to maintain a high level of interest-earning assets relative to total assets while keeping non-earning assets at a minimum. Interest-earning assets consist of money market investments, securities, loans, and leases.
For information regarding the average balances of our interest-earning assets, the amount of revenue generated by them, and their respective yields, see the average balance sheet on page 15.
Average interest-earning assets were $65.4 billion for the first three months of 2020, compared with $64.2 billion for the first three months of 2019. Average interest-earning assets as a percentage of total average assets for the first three months of 2020 and 2019 were 93% and 94%, respectively.
Average loans were $48.8 billion and $47.2 billion for the first three months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Average loans as a percentage of total average assets for the first three months of 2020 were 70%, compared with 69% in the same prior year period.
Average money market investments, consisting of interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold, and security resell agreements, increased by 59% to $2.0 billion for the first three months of 2020, compared with $1.3 billion for the first three months of 2019. Average securities decreased by 8% for the first three months of 2020, compared with the first three months of 2019.
Investment Securities Portfolio
We invest in securities to actively manage liquidity and interest rate risk, in addition to generating revenue for the Bank. Refer to the “Liquidity Risk Management” section on page 35 for additional information on management of liquidity and funding. The following schedule presents a profile of our investment securities portfolio. The amortized cost amounts represent the original cost of the investments, adjusted for related accumulated amortization or accretion of any yield adjustments, and for impairment losses, including credit-related impairment. The estimated fair value measurement levels and methodology are discussed in Note 3 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The amortized cost of investment securities at March 31, 2020 increased by 2% from the balances at December 31, 2019. Approximately 29% of the investment securities are floating-rate as of March 31, 2020.
The investment securities portfolio includes $324 million of net premium that is distributed across various asset classes as illustrated in the preceding schedule. Premium amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $28 million, compared with $31 million for the same period in 2019.
As of March 31, 2020, under the GAAP fair value accounting hierarchy, 0.2% of the $14.2 billion fair value of the AFS securities portfolio was valued at Level 1, 99.8% was valued at Level 2, and there were no Level 3 AFS securities. At December 31, 2019, 0.2% of the $13.7 billion fair value of AFS securities portfolio was valued at Level 1, 99.8% was valued at Level 2, and there were no Level 3 AFS securities. See Note 3 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of fair value accounting.
Exposure to State and Local Governments
We provide multiple products and services to state and local governments (referred to collectively as “municipalities”), including deposit services, loans, and investment banking services, and we invest in securities issued by the municipalities. The following schedule summarizes our exposure to state and local municipalities:

At March 31, 2020, no municipal loans were on nonaccrual. Most of the municipal loan and lease portfolio is secured by real estate, equipment, or is a general obligation of a municipal entity. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the credit quality of these municipal loans.
Foreign Exposure and Operations
Our credit exposure to foreign sovereign risks and total foreign credit exposure is not significant. We also do not have significant foreign exposure to derivative counterparties. We had no foreign deposits at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Loan Portfolio
For the first three months of 2020 and 2019, average loans accounted for 70% and 69%, respectively, of total average assets. As presented in the following schedule, the largest category was commercial and industrial loans, which constituted 31% of our loan portfolio at March 31, 2020.

Loan portfolio growth during the first three months of 2020 was widespread across loan products and geographies, with particular strength in commercial and industrial, municipal, construction and land development, term commercial real estate ("CRE"), and commercial owner-occupied. The growth in the loan portfolio during the first three months of 2020 was primarily at CB&T and Amegy Bank (“Amegy”).
Other Noninterest-Bearing Investments
During the first three months of 2020, the Bank increased its short-term borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) by $1.2 billion. This increase also led to a $48 million increase in FHLB activity stock. Aside from this increase and a decrease in SBIC investments, other noninterest-bearing investments remained relatively stable as illustrated in the following schedule.
The $52 million book value of Farmer Mac stock is composed of $37 million of Class C stock and $15 million of Class A stock. As a result of the merger of our former bank holding company into the Bank effective September 30, 2018, we agreed to dispose of our Class C stock in order to resolve questions about the permissibility of national bank investments in such shares. We initiated sales of Class C stock in the first quarter of 2020, selling $0.5 million book value of the stock, and recently received conditional regulatory approval to extend the original sale deadline from September 30, 2020 to a date we believe will enable an orderly liquidation of our Class C stock.

Premises, Equipment, and Software
Net premises, equipment, and software increased $2 million, or 0.2%, during the first three months of 2020. In 2017, the Bank implemented the first phase of our core lending and deposit systems replacement project, which replaced the Bank’s primary consumer lending systems. During the first quarter of 2019, the Bank successfully implemented the second phase of this project by replacing its primary commercial and CRE lending systems. With this milestone reached, we now have substantially all our retail, commercial and CRE loans on a new modern core platform. The Bank is well underway with the project to convert its deposit servicing system by 2022. The total core replacement project spend amount is comprised of both capitalized amounts and amounts that are expensed as incurred. The useful life for most of the capitalized costs is 10 years. The following schedule shows the total amount of costs capitalized, less accumulated depreciation, by phase for the core replacement project.

Deposits
Deposits, both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing, are a primary source of funding for the Bank. Average total deposits for the first three months of 2020 increased by 6%, compared with the first three months of 2019, with average interest-bearing deposits increasing by 9% and average noninterest-bearing deposits increasing by 2%. The average interest rate paid for interest-bearing deposits was 13 bps lower during the first three months of 2020, compared with the first three months of 2019.
Demand, savings, and money market deposits were 93% and 92% of total deposits at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, total deposits included $2.0 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, of brokered deposits. See “Liquidity Risk Management” on page 35 for additional information on funding and borrowed funds.
RISK ELEMENTS
Since risk is inherent in substantially all of the Bank’s operations, management of risk is an integral part of its operations and is also a key determinant of its overall performance. The Board of Directors has appointed a Risk Oversight Committee (“ROC”) that consists of appointed Board members who oversee the Bank’s risk management processes. The ROC meets on a regular basis to monitor and review Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) activities. As required by its charter, the ROC performs oversight for various ERM activities and approves ERM policies and activities as detailed in the ROC charter.
Management applies various strategies to reduce the risks to which the Bank’s operations are exposed, including credit risk, interest rate and market risk, liquidity risk, strategic risk, business and corporate governance risk, operational/technology risk, cyber risk, capital/financial reporting risk, legal/compliance risk (including regulatory risk); and reputational risk. These risks are overseen by the various management committees of which the Enterprise Risk Management Committee is the focal point for the monitoring and review of enterprise risk. For a more comprehensive discussion of these risks, see “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is the possibility of loss from the failure of a borrower, guarantor, or another obligor to fully perform under the terms of a credit-related contract. Credit risk arises primarily from our lending activities, as well as from off-balance sheet credit instruments. For a more comprehensive discussion of credit risk management, see “Credit Risk Management” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Government Agency Guaranteed Loans
We participate in various guaranteed lending programs sponsored by U.S. government agencies, such as the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), Federal Housing Authority, Veterans’ Administration, Export-Import Bank of
22
the U.S., and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. As of March 31, 2020, the principal balance of these loans was $590 million, and the guaranteed portion of these loans was $439 million. Most of these loans were guaranteed by the SBA. The following schedule presents the composition of government agency guaranteed loans and does not include any loans related to the aforementioned Paycheck Protection Program.

Oil and Gas-Related Exposure
Various industries represented in the previous schedule, including mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, manufacturing, and transportation and warehousing, contain certain loans we categorize as oil and gas-related. At March 31, 2020, we had approximately $4.6 billion of total oil and gas-related credit exposure. The distribution of oil and gas-related loans by customer market segment is shown in the following schedule:

1 Because many borrowers operate in multiple businesses, judgment has been applied in characterizing a borrower as oil and
gas-related, including a particular segment of oil and gas-related activity, e.g., upstream or midstream; typically, 50% of
revenues coming from the oil and gas sector is used as a guide.
2 Calculated as the ratio of annualized net charge-offs for each respective period to loan balances at each period end.
At March 31, 2020, oil and gas-related loans represented approximately 5% of the total loan portfolio, compared with 8% at December 31, 2014, or the beginning of the last energy cycle. Due to active risk management of the portfolio, the mix of oil and gas-related loans at March 31, 2020 consists of 40% upstream, 34% midstream, 18% oil and gas-related services, and 8% downstream, compared with 36%, 19%, 41%, and 4%, respectively, at December 31, 2014.
We use disciplined underwriting practices to mitigate the risk associated with upstream lending activities. Upstream loans are made to reserve-based borrowers where approximately 85% of those loans are collateralized by the value of the borrower’s oil and gas reserves.
For the first quarter of 2020, the classified oil and gas-related loan ratio was 3.4%, oil and gas-related net charge-offs were $1 million, and the ACL related to oil and gas-related loans exceeded 5%.

1 No other geography exceeds $87 million for all three loan types.
2 Delinquency rates include nonaccrual loans.
At March 31, 2020, our CRE construction and land development and term loan portfolios represent approximately 24% of the total loan portfolio. The majority of our CRE loans are secured by real estate located within our geographical footprint. Approximately 21% of the CRE loan portfolio matures in the next 12 months. Construction
25
and land development loans generally mature in 18 to 36 months and contain full or partial recourse guarantee structures with one to five-year extension options or roll-to-perm options that often result in term debt. Term CRE loans generally mature within a three to seven-year period and consist of full, partial, and non-recourse guarantee structures. Typical term CRE loan structures include annually-tested operating covenants that require loan rebalancing based on minimum debt service coverage, debt yield, or loan-to-value tests.
Approximately $149 million, or 7%, of the construction and land development portfolio at March 31, 2020 consists of land acquisition and development loans. Most of these land acquisition and development loans are secured by specific retail, apartment, office, or other projects. For a more comprehensive discussion of CRE loans, see the “Commercial Real Estate Loans” section in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Consumer Loans
We have mainly been an originator of first and second mortgages, generally considered to be of prime quality. We generally hold variable-rate loans in our portfolio and sell “conforming” fixed-rate loans to third parties, including Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, for which we make representations and warranties that the loans meet certain underwriting and collateral documentation standards.
We are also engaged in Home Equity Credit Line (“HECL”) lending. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our HECL portfolio totaled $3.0 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively. The following schedule describes the composition of our HECL portfolio by lien status.

| Total | $ | 2,958 | $ | 2,917 | |||||||
At March 31, 2020, loans representing less than 1% of the outstanding balance in the HECL portfolio were estimated to have combined loan-to-value ratios (“CLTV”) above 100%. An estimated CLTV ratio is the ratio of our loan plus any prior lien amounts divided by the estimated current collateral value. At origination, underwriting standards for the HECL portfolio generally include a maximum 80% CLTV with high credit scores at origination.
Approximately 89% of our HECL portfolio is still in the draw period, and approximately 18% of those loans are scheduled to begin amortizing within the next five years. We regularly analyze the risk of borrower default in the event of a loan becoming fully amortizing and the risk of higher interest rates. The analysis indicates that the risk of loss from this factor is minimal in the current economic environment. The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average balances for the first three months of 2020 and 2019 for the HECL portfolio was 0.00% and (0.09)%, respectively. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the credit quality of this portfolio.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and leases and other real estate owned (“OREO”) increased to 0.56% at March 31, 2020, compared with 0.51% at December 31, 2019.
Total nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2020 increased $31 million from December 31, 2019, primarily in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio at CB&T and Vectra.
The balance of nonaccrual loans can decrease due to paydowns, charge-offs, and the return of loans to accrual status under certain conditions. If a nonaccrual loan is refinanced or restructured, the new note is immediately placed on nonaccrual. If a restructured loan performs under the new terms for at least a period of six months, the loan can be considered for return to accrual status. See “Restructured Loans” following for more information. Bank policy does not allow for the conversion of nonaccrual construction and land development loans to CRE term loans. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on nonaccrual loans.

Restructured Loans
Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are loans that have been modified to accommodate a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties, and for whom we have granted a concession that we would not otherwise consider. TDRs increased $14 million, or 9%, during the first three months of 2020. Commercial loans may be modified to provide the borrower more time to complete the project, to achieve a higher lease-up percentage, to sell the property, or for other reasons. Consumer loan TDRs represent loan modifications in which a concession has been granted to the borrower who is unable to refinance the loan with another lender, or who is experiencing economic hardship. Such consumer loan TDRs may include first-lien residential mortgage loans and home equity loans.
If the restructured loan performs for at least six months according to the modified terms, and an analysis of the customer’s financial condition indicates that we are reasonably assured of repayment of the modified principal and interest, the loan may be returned to accrual status. The borrower’s payment performance prior to and following the restructuring is taken into account to determine whether a loan should be returned to accrual status.

COVID-19 modifications
As described previously, we have developed various debt relief programs for our borrowers that have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Consistent with recent accounting and regulatory guidance, loan modifications provided to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties exclusively related to the COVID-19 pandemic, in which we provide certain short-term modifications or payment deferrals, are not classified as TDRs. Approximately 3% of total loan balances (across most loan types and industries) have been processed for modifications or payment deferrals as of April 26, 2020, and we expect additional payment deferral requests.
Allowance for Credit Losses
In analyzing the adequacy of the ALLL, we utilize a comprehensive loan grading system to determine the risk potential in the portfolio and also consider the results of independent internal credit reviews. To determine the adequacy of the allowance, our loan and lease portfolio is broken into segments based on loan type.

Interest Rate and Market Risk Management
Interest rate and market risk are managed centrally. Interest rate risk is the potential for reduced net interest income and other rate-sensitive income resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates. Market risk is the potential for loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of fixed-income securities, equity securities, other earning assets, and derivative financial instruments as a result of changes in interest rates or other factors. As a financial institution that engages in transactions involving an array of financial products, we are exposed to both interest rate risk and market risk.
29
The Bank’s Board of Directors is responsible for approving the overall policies relating to the management of the financial risk of the Bank, including interest rate and market risk management. The Board has established the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) consisting of members of management, to which it has delegated the responsibility of managing interest rate and market risk for the Bank. ALCO establishes and periodically revises policy limits and reviews with the ROC the limits and limit exceptions reported by management.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is one of the most significant risks to which we are regularly exposed. In general, our goal in managing interest rate risk is to manage balance sheet sensitivity to reduce net income volatility due to changes in interest rates.
Over the course of the last several years, we have actively reduced the level of asset sensitivity through the purchase of short-to-medium duration agency pass-through securities and funding these purchases by reducing money market investments and increasing short-term borrowings. This repositioning of the investment portfolio has increased current net interest income while dampening the impact of lower rates on net interest income contraction. We anticipate moderately lower net interest income in a falling rate environment as our assets reprice more quickly than our liabilities. Furthermore, as our deposit rates changes tend to lag changes in our assets, we anticipate a reduction in current interest income in a stable rate environment as asset yields level off and deposit rates continue to increase slightly.
At December 31, 2019 we had $1.5 billion of fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps hedging long-term debt (effectively converting the fixed-rate debt into floating-rate debt). In late March 2020, we terminated $1.0 billion of swaps (i.e. two $500 million swaps with maturities in August 2021 and February 2022). As a result, the unamortized cumulative basis adjustment of $36 million on the debt at the time of the terminations will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense through the maturity of the debt, thereby reducing the effective interest rate. For more information on derivatives designated as qualifying hedges, see Note 7 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
The schedule below presents all derivatives utilized in our asset-liability management ("ALM") activities that are designated in qualifying hedging relationships as defined by GAAP as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The schedule includes the notional amount, fair value, and the weighted-average receive-fixed rate for each category of interest rate derivatives, shown by maturity for the next five years.

Interest Rate Risk Measurement
We monitor interest rate risk through the use of two complementary measurement methods: net interest income simulation, or Earnings at Risk (“EaR”), and Economic Value of Equity at Risk (“EVE”). EaR analyzes the expected change in near term (one year) net interest income in response to changes in interest rates. In the EVE method, we measure the expected changes in the fair value of equity in response to changes in interest rates.
EaR is an estimate of the change in total net interest income that would be recognized under different interest rate environments over a one-year period. This simulated impact to net interest income due to a change in rates uses as its base a modeled net interest income that is not necessarily the same as the most recent quarter's or year's reported
31
net interest income. Rather, EaR employs estimated net interest income under an unchanged interest rate scenario as the basis for comparison. The EaR process then simulates changes to the base net interest income under several interest rate scenarios, including parallel and nonparallel interest rate shifts across the yield curve, taking into account deposit repricing assumptions and estimates of the possible exercise of embedded options within the portfolio (e.g., a borrower’s ability to refinance a loan under a lower-rate environment). The EaR model does not contemplate changes in fee income that are amortized into interest income (e.g. premiums, discounts, origination points and costs, etc.). Our policy contains a trigger for a 10% decline in rate-sensitive income as well as a risk capacity of a 13% decline if rates were to immediately rise or fall in parallel by 200 bps. As of December 31, 2018 the EaR declined by 12% for a 200 bps decline in rates. This trigger violation informed our decision to move to a less asset-sensitive position throughout 2019 and into 2020. As of March 31, 2020 the EaR declined by 6% for a 200 bps decline in rates.
EVE is calculated as the fair value of all assets minus the fair value of liabilities. We measure changes in the dollar amount of EVE for parallel shifts in interest rates. Due to embedded optionality and asymmetric rate risk, changes in EVE can be useful in quantifying risks not apparent for small rate changes. Examples of such risks may include out-of-the-money interest rate caps (or limits) on loans, which have little effect under small rate movements but may become important if large rate changes were to occur, or substantial prepayment deceleration for low-rate mortgages in a higher-rate environment. Our policy contains a trigger for an 8% decline in EVE as well as a risk capacity of a 10% decline if rates were to immediately rise or fall in parallel by 200 bps. Exceptions to the EVE limits are subject to notification and approval by the ROC.
Estimating the impact on net interest income and EVE requires that we assess a number of variables and make various assumptions in managing our exposure to changes in interest rates. The assessments address deposit withdrawals and deposit product migration (e.g., customers moving money from checking accounts to certificates of deposit), competitive pricing (e.g., existing loans and deposits are assumed to roll into new loans and deposits at similar spreads relative to benchmark interest rates), loan and security prepayments, and the effects of other similar embedded options. As a result of uncertainty about the maturity and repricing characteristics of both deposits and loans, we also calculate the sensitivity of EaR and EVE results to key assumptions. As most of our liabilities are comprised of indeterminate maturity and managed rate deposits, the modeled results are highly sensitive to the assumptions used for these deposits, such as checking, savings and money market accounts, and also to prepayment assumptions used for loans with prepayment options. We use historical regression analysis as a guide for setting such assumptions; however, due to the current low interest rate environment, which has little historical precedent, estimated deposit behavior may not reflect actual future results. Additionally, competition for funding in the marketplace has and may again result in changes to deposit pricing on interest-bearing accounts that are greater or less than changes in benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR or the federal funds rate.
Under most rising interest rate environments, we would expect some customers to move balances from demand deposits to interest-bearing accounts such as money market, savings, or certificates of deposit. The models are particularly sensitive to the assumption about the rate of such migration.
In addition, we assume certain correlation rates, often referred to as a “deposit beta,” of interest-bearing deposits, wherein the rates paid to customers change at a different pace when compared with changes in average benchmark interest rates. Generally, certificates of deposit are assumed to have a high correlation rate, while interest-on-checking accounts are assumed to have a lower correlation rate. Actual results may differ materially due to factors including the shape of the yield curve, competitive pricing, money supply, credit worthiness of the Bank, and so forth; however, we use our historical experience as well as industry data to inform our assumptions.
The aforementioned migration and correlation assumptions result in deposit durations presented in the following schedule.

For non-maturity interest-bearing deposits, the weighted average modeled beta is 25%. If the weighted average deposit beta were to increase 6%, the EaR in the +100 bps rate shock would change from 6.4% to 5.6%.

1 Assumes rates cannot go below zero in the negative rate shift.
The asset sensitivity as measured by EaR increased quarter over quarter primarily due to changes in the deposit beta for money market accounts. The lower beta is consistent with our prior experience with the Fed Fund Target in the range of 0%-0.25%.
The EaR analysis focuses on parallel rate shocks across the term structure of rates. The yield curve typically does not move in a parallel manner. If we consider a flattening rate shock where the short-term rate moves +200 bps but the ten-year rate only moves +30 bps, the earnings increase is 41% less over 24 months compared with the parallel +200 bps rate shock.
CHANGES IN ECONOMIC VALUE OF EQUITY
As of the dates indicated, the following schedule shows our estimated percentage change in EVE under parallel interest rate changes ranging from -100 bps to +300 bps. For non-maturity interest-bearing deposits, the weighted average modeled beta is 25%. If the weighted average deposit beta were to increase 6% it would change the EVE in the +100 bps rate shock from 4.2% to 3.1%. In the -100 bps rate shock the EVE would increase due to the fact that we cap the value of our indeterminate deposits at their par value, or equivalently we assume no premium would be required to dispose of these liabilities given that depositors could be repaid at par. Since our assets increase in value as rates fall and the majority of our liabilities are indeterminate deposits, EVE increases disproportionately.

Our focus on business banking also plays a significant role in determining the nature of the Bank’s asset-liability management posture. At March 31, 2020, $23 billion of the Bank’s commercial lending and CRE loan balances were scheduled to reprice in the next three months. Of these variable-rate loans approximately 98% are tied to either the prime rate or LIBOR. For these variable-rate loans we have executed $3.5 billion of cash flow hedges by receiving fixed rates on interest rate swaps or through purchased interest rate floors. Additionally, asset sensitivity is reduced due to $972 million of variable-rate loans being priced at floored rates at March 31, 2020, which were above the “index plus spread” rate by an average of 26 bps. At March 31, 2020, we also had $3.3 billion of variable-rate consumer loans scheduled to reprice in the next three months. Of these variable-rate consumer loans approximately $1.2 billion were priced at floored rates, which were above the “index plus spread” rate by an average of 35 bps.
See Notes 3 and 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding derivative instruments.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, the authority regulating LIBOR, along with various other regulatory bodies, announced that LIBOR would likely be discontinued at the end of 2021. LIBOR makes up the most liquid and common interest rate index in the world and is commonly referenced in financial instruments. We have exposure to LIBOR in various aspects through our financial contracts. We are currently working with various industry groups and internal working groups to determine an appropriate replacement index for affected contracts that expire after the expected discontinuation of LIBOR on December 31, 2021. Instruments that may be impacted include loans, securities, and derivatives, among other financial contracts indexed to LIBOR and that mature after December 31, 2021. We are actively working to address any impacted contracts but realize that amending certain contracts indexed to LIBOR may require consent from the counterparties which could be difficult and costly to obtain in certain limited circumstances.
Market Risk – Fixed Income
We engage in the underwriting and trading of municipal securities. This trading activity exposes us to a risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the prices of these fixed-income securities.
At March 31, 2020, we had a relatively small amount, $160 million, of trading assets and $18 million of securities sold, not yet purchased, compared with $182 million and $66 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019.
We are exposed to market risk through changes in fair value. We are also exposed to market risk for interest rate swaps used to hedge interest rate risk. Changes in the fair value of AFS securities and in interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges are included in AOCI for each financial reporting period. During the first quarter of 2020, the after-tax change in AOCI attributable to AFS securities increased by $147 million, due largely to changes in the interest rate environment, compared with a $121 million increase in the same prior year period.
Market Risk – Equity Investments
Through our equity investment activities, we own equity securities that are publicly-traded. In addition, we own equity securities in companies and governmental entities, e.g., the Federal Reserve Bank and an FHLB, that are not publicly-traded. The accounting for equity investments may use the cost, fair value, equity, or full consolidation methods of accounting, depending on our ownership position and degree of involvement in influencing the investees’ affairs. Regardless of the accounting method, the value of our investment is subject to fluctuation.
34
Because the fair value of these securities may fall below our investment costs, we are exposed to the possibility of loss. Equity investments in private and public companies are approved, monitored and evaluated by the Bank’s Equity Investment Committee consisting of members of management.
We hold both direct and indirect investments in predominantly pre-public companies, primarily through various small business investment company ("SBIC") venture capital funds. Our equity exposure to these investments was $125 million and $154 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. On occasion, some of the companies within our SBIC investments may issue an initial public offering. In this case, the fund is generally subject to a lockout period before liquidating the investment, which can introduce additional market risk.
Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity refers to our capacity to meet our cash and collateral obligations and to manage both expected and unexpected cash flows without adversely impacting the operations or financial strength of the Bank. Sources of liquidity include both traditional forms of funding, such as deposits, borrowings, and equity and unencumbered assets, such as marketable loans and securities.
Since liquidity risk is closely linked to both credit risk and market risk, many of the previously discussed risk control mechanisms also apply to the monitoring and management of liquidity risk. We manage our liquidity to provide adequate funds for our customers’ credit needs, capital plan actions, anticipated financial and contractual obligations, which include withdrawals by depositors, debt and capital service requirements, and lease obligations.
The Bank continues to perform liquidity stress tests and assess its portfolio of highly liquid assets (sufficient to cover 30-day funding needs under the stress scenarios). At March 31, 2020, our investment securities portfolio of $15.0 billion and cash and money market investments of $2.5 billion collectively comprised 24% of total assets.
The Bank’s consolidated cash, interest-bearing deposits held as investments, and security resell agreements were $2.5 billion at March 31, 2020 compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2019 and $1.6 billion at March 31, 2019. During the first quarter 2020 sources of cash were from (1) short-term funds borrowed and (2) an increase in deposits. Uses of cash during the same period were primarily from (1) loan originations, (2) an increase in investment securities, (3) repurchases of our common stock, and (4) dividends on common and preferred stock.
Total deposits were $57.5 billion at March 31, 2020 compared to $57.1 billion at December 31, 2019 and $54.5 billion at March 31, 2019. The increase for the first quarter of 2020 was a result of a $804 million and $111 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and savings and money market deposits, respectively, partially offset by a $482 million decrease in time deposits. The Bank’s core deposits, consisting of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits under $250,000, was $54.8 billion at March 31, 2020 compared with $53.9 billion at December 31, 2019 and $51.1 billion at March 31, 2019.
At March 31, 2020, maturities of our long-term senior and subordinated debt ranged from August 2021 to October 2029.
The Bank’s cash payments for interest, reflected in operating expenses, decreased to $88 million during the first quarter of 2020 from $95 million during the first quarter of 2019. This decrease is primarily due to lower interest rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds and lower borrowed funds. Additionally, the Bank paid approximately $66 million of dividends on preferred stock and common stock for both the first quarters of 2020 and 2019. Dividends paid per common share increased from $0.30 in the first quarter of 2019 to $0.34 in the first quarter of 2020. In May 2020, the Board approved a quarterly common dividend of $0.34 per share.
General financial market and economic conditions impact our access to and cost of external financing. Access to funding markets for the Bank is also directly affected by the credit ratings received from various rating agencies. The ratings not only influence the costs associated with the borrowings, but can also influence the sources of the borrowings. All of the credit rating agencies rate the Bank’s debt at an investment-grade level. Although the Bank’s credit ratings did not change during the first quarter of 2020, Fitch and S&P revised their outlook to Negative from
35
Stable due to disruption in economic activity and financial markets from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Bank's oil and gas exposure. The Bank's credit ratings and outlooks are presented in the following schedule.

The FHLB system and Federal Reserve Banks have been and are a source of back-up liquidity and a significant source of funding. Zions Bancorporation, N.A. is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines. The FHLB allows member banks to borrow against their eligible loans and securities to satisfy liquidity and funding requirements. The Bank is required to invest in FHLB and Federal Reserve stock to maintain their borrowing capacity.
The amount available for additional FHLB and Federal Reserve borrowings was approximately $18.2 billion at March 31, 2020 compared to $15.3 billion at December 31, 2019. Loans with a carrying value of approximately $27.8 billion at March 31, 2020 have been pledged at the FHLB of Des Moines and the Federal Reserve as collateral for current and potential borrowings compared with $21.5 billion at December 31, 2019. At March 31, 2020, we had $2.2 billion of short-term FHLB borrowings outstanding and no long-term FHLB or Federal Reserve borrowings outstanding, compared with $1.0 billion of short-term FHLB borrowings and no long-term FHLB or Federal Reserve borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2019. At March 31, 2020, our total investment in FHLB and Federal Reserve stock was $98 million and $99 million, respectively, compared with $50 million and $107 million at December 31, 2019.
Subsequent to March 31, 2020 the Federal Reserve established the Payroll Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF). Zions has the ability to pledge loans it has made under the SBA's PPP program to the PPPLF and receive term funding matching the term of the pledged loans for the full balance of PPP loans held by the Bank. The PPPLF is therefore an additional source of liquidity with the amount determined by the balance of PPP loans held.
Our AFS investment securities are primarily held as a source of contingent liquidity. We target securities that can be easily turned into cash through sale or repurchase agreements and whose value remains relatively stable during market disruptions. We regularly manage our short-term funding needs through secured borrowing with the securities pledged as collateral. Interest rate risk management is another consideration for selection of investment securities. Our average AFS securities balances decreased by $84 million during the first quarter of 2020.
The Bank’s average loan to average total deposit ratio was 86% at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, indicating a similar loan and deposit growth pattern for the first quarter of 2020. If our operating, investing and deposit activity do not provide the loan funding required, the Bank will rely on more expensive wholesale funding for a portion of its loan growth. Our use of average borrowed funds (both short- and long-term) increased by $363 million during the first quarter of 2020 as our average deposit growth and average securities decline only partially funded average loan growth over the period.
We may also, from time to time, issue additional preferred stock, senior or subordinated notes or other forms of capital or debt instruments, depending on our capital, funding, asset-liability management or other needs as market conditions warrant and subject to any required regulatory approvals. Management believes that the sources of available liquidity are adequate to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term and intermediate-term demands. A more comprehensive discussion of liquidity risk management, including certain contractual obligations, is contained in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Operational/Technology and Cyber Risk Management
Operational risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, human errors or misconduct, or adverse external events. In our ongoing efforts to identify and manage operational risk, we have an ERM department whose responsibility is to help employees, management and the Board of Directors to assess, understand, measure, manage, and monitor risk in accordance with our Risk Appetite Framework. We have documented both controls and the Control Self-Assessment related to financial reporting under the 2013 framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and the FDICIA.
To manage and minimize our operational risk, we have in place transactional documentation requirements; systems and procedures to monitor transactions and positions; systems and procedures to detect and mitigate attempts to commit fraud, penetrate our systems or telecommunications, access customer data, and/or deny normal access to those systems to our legitimate customers; regulatory compliance reviews; and periodic reviews by the Bank’s Compliance Risk Management, Internal Audit and Credit Examination departments.
The number and sophistication of attempts to disrupt or penetrate our systems, sometimes referred to as hacking, cyber fraud, cyberattacks, or other similar names continues to grow. To combat the ever increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, we have upgraded key detection software and expanded the number of staff and expertise to monitor and manage cyberattacks. In addition, we have elevated our oversight and internal reporting to the Board and respective committees. We have also implemented an advisory group made up of cyber industry and academic experts to assist us in better managing this critical risk.
While we have significant internal resources, policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the possible failure, interruption or security breach of our information systems, the Bank has experienced security breaches due to cyberattacks in the past and there can be no assurance that any such failure, interruption or security breach will not occur in the future, or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. It is impossible to determine the potential effects of these events with any certainty but any such breach could result in material adverse consequences for the Bank and its customers.
For a more comprehensive discussion of operational/technology and cyber risk management see our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Overview
We believe that a strong capital position is vital to continued profitability and to promoting depositor and investor confidence. The Bank has a fundamental financial objective to consistently produce superior risk-adjusted returns on its shareholders’ capital.
The Bank’s primary regulator is the OCC. The Bank continues to be subject to examinations by the CFPB with respect to consumer financial regulations. Under the National Bank Act and OCC regulations, certain capital transactions may be subject to the approval of the OCC.
The Bank continues to utilize stress testing as the primary mechanism to inform its decisions on the appropriate level of capital and capital actions, based upon actual and hypothetically-stressed economic conditions. The results of our internal stress tests are publicly available on the Bank's website. The timing and amount of capital actions are subject to various factors, including the Bank's financial performance, business needs, prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, and OCC approval.
37
Capital Management Actions
Total shareholders’ equity has remained consistent and was $7.5 billion at March 31, 2020 compared to $7.4 billion at December 31, 2019 and $7.6 billion at March 31, 2019. The primary increase during the first quarter of 2020 was $216 million from an increase in the fair value of our AFS securities due largely to changes in the interest rate environment. The primary decreases during the same time period was $75 million from repurchases of Bank common stock from publicly announced plans and $66 million from common and preferred stock dividends paid. Common stock and additional paid-in capital decreased $67 million, or 2%, during the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to the Bank common stock repurchases.
During the first quarter of 2020, the Bank repurchased 1.7 million shares of common stock, or 1% of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019, for $75 million at an average price of $45.02 per share. The Bank expects to maintain the appropriate amount of capital to cover inherent risk, while distributing excess capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The timing and amount of additional common share repurchases will be subject to various factors, including the Bank's financial performance, business needs, prevailing economic conditions, and OCC approval. The magnitude, timing and form of capital return will be determined by the Board. Shares may be repurchased occasionally in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, utilizing Rule 10b5-1 plans or otherwise.
The Bank paid common dividends of $56 million during both the first quarters of 2020 and 2019. In May 2020 the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.34 per common share payable on May 21, 2020 to shareholders of record on May 8, 2020. The Bank also paid dividends on preferred stock of $10 million for both the first quarters of 2020 and 2019. See Note 9 for additional detail about capital management transactions during the first quarter of 2020.
As of March 31, 2020, the Bank had 29.2 million ZIONW common stock warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $33.67 which expire on May 22, 2020. Each warrant is equivalent to 1.09 common shares. The exercise of the common stock warrants is cashless as the warrants are settled on a net share basis and will increase average basic shares. The impact of the common stock warrants is already considered in the average dilutive shares.
The following schedule presents diluted shares from the outstanding common stock warrants at March 31, 2020 at various Zions Bancorporation, N.A. common stock market prices as of April 30, 2020, excluding the effect of changes in exercise cost and common stock warrant share multiplier from the future payment of common stock dividends.

Basel III Capital Requirements
The Bank is subject to Basel III capital requirements to maintain adequate levels of capital as measured by several regulatory capital ratios. We met all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules as of March 31, 2020. The following schedule presents the Bank’s capital and performance ratios as of March 31, 2020,
38
December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019. The application of the interim final rule regarding the adoption of CECL improved our CET1, Tier 1 risk-based and Total risk-based capital ratios by 8 basis points each, and improved our Tier 1 leverage capital ratio by 5 basis points.

At March 31, 2020, Basel III regulatory tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital was $6.2 billion and $7.5 billion, respectively, compared with $6.3 billion and $7.4 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2019. A more detailed discussion of capital management and Basel III requirements, including implications for the Bank, is contained in “Capital Standards – Basel Framework” under Part 1, Item 1, “Capital Management," and Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13, or CECL. Upon adoption of the ASU, we recorded the full amount of the ACL for loans and leases of $526 million, compared with $554 million at December 31, 2019, resulting in an after-tax increase to retained earnings of $20 million. The impact of the adoption of CECL for our securities portfolio was less than $1 million. At March 31, 2020, the ACL was $777 million.
The OCC, Federal Reserve, and FDIC issued a joint statement on March 27, 2020, revised on April 7, 2020, with proposed guidance for banking institutions that have adopted CECL in 2020. We adopted the provisions of this interim final rule, which allows banks an adjustment to dampen the impact of CECL adoption on regulatory capital ratios, beginning with the first quarter 2020 financial statements. As a result, we will delay recognizing the full amount of the March 31, 2020 impact of the ACL on regulatory capital until after a two-year deferral period, which for us extends through December 31, 2021. Beginning on January 1, 2022, we will be required to phase in 25% of the previously deferred estimated capital impact of the ACL, with an additional 25% to be phased in at the beginning of each subsequent year until fully phased in by the first quarter of 2025. The adoption of these provisions improved our CET1 capital ratio by 8 bps at March 31, 2020.
The CECL allowance is calculated based on quantitative models and management qualitative judgment based on many factors over the life of loan. The primary assumptions of the CECL quantitative model are the economic forecast, the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the length of the reversion period, prepayment rates, and the credit quality of the portfolio.
As a result of this new accounting standard, we expect our ACL will become more volatile primarily because, under the new methodology, the allowance is subject to economic forecasts that may change materially from period to period. Although we believe that our methodology for determining an appropriate level for the allowance adequately addresses the various components that could potentially result in credit losses, the processes and their elements include features that may be susceptible to significant change. Any unfavorable differences between the actual outcome of credit-related events and our estimates could require an additional provision for credit losses.
39
We estimate CECL over the contractual remaining life of each loan, which considers historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. We use the following two types of credit loss estimation models:
•Econometric loss models, which rely on statistical analyses of our historical loss experience dependent upon economic factors and other loan-level characteristics. Statistically relevant economic factors vary depending upon the type of loan, but include variables such as unemployment, real estate price indices, energy prices, GDP, etc.
•Loss models that are based on our long-term average historical credit loss experience since 2008, which rely on statistical analyses of our historical loss experience dependent upon loan-level characteristics.
Estimated credit losses during the first 12 months of a loan’s contractual remaining life, or reasonable and supportable period, are derived from the econometric loss models. Over a subsequent 12-month reversion period, we blend the estimated credit losses from the two models on a straight-line basis. For the remaining life of the loan, the estimated credit losses are derived from the long-term average historical credit loss models.
In addition to our quantitative allowance for loan losses, we also consider other qualitative and environmental factors related to current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that may indicate current expected credit losses may differ from the historical information reflected in our quantitative models. Although the qualitative process is subjective, it represents our best estimate of qualitative factors impacting the determination of the ACL as of the financial reporting date.
Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Credit Risk Management” on page 22 contain further information and more specific descriptions of the processes and methodologies used to estimate the allowance for credit losses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 2020
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Zions Bancorporation, National Association and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Zions Bancorporation, N.A.,” “the Bank,” “we,” “our,” “us”) have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. References to GAAP, including standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), are made according to sections of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Changes to the ASC are made with Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) that include consensus issues of the Emerging Issues Task Force.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 is from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Bank’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net income or shareholders’ equity. Additionally, effective October 1, 2019, we made certain financial reporting changes and reclassifications to noninterest income in our Consolidated Statements of Income. These changes and reclassifications were adopted on a retrospective basis. The changes and reclassifications reflect changes only to noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and do not impact net income, net interest income or noninterest expense.
Zions Bancorporation, N.A. is a commercial bank headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Bank provides a full range of banking and related services in 11 Western and Southwestern states through 7 separately managed and branded units as follows: Zions Bank, in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming; Amegy Bank (“Amegy”), in Texas; California Bank & Trust (“CB&T”); National Bank of Arizona (“NBAZ”); Nevada State Bank (“NSB”); Vectra Bank Colorado (“Vectra”), in Colorado and New Mexico; and The Commerce Bank of Washington (“TCBW”) which operates under that name in Washington and under the name The Commerce Bank of Oregon in Oregon.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS
47
| Accounting Standard Updates | Description | Date of adoption | Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Updates adopted by the Bank during 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
ASU 2016-13,
Credit Losses
(Topic 326):
Measurement of
Credit Losses on
Financial
Instruments and subsequent related ASUs
|
This ASU, and subsequent updates, significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for virtually all financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income that have the contractual right to receive cash. The update replaces today’s “incurred loss” approach with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model for instruments such as loans and HTM securities that are measured at amortized cost. The ASU requires credit losses relating to available-for sale (“AFS”) debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) rather than a reduction of the carrying amount and replaces the historically required other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) analysis. It also changes the accounting for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans.
The ASU retains many of the current disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and expands other disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for calendar year-end public companies beginning January 1, 2020. |
January 1, 2020 |
We adopted ASU 2016-13 and its subsequent updates on January 1, 2020; the impact upon adoption was an after-tax increase to retained earnings of approximately $20 million.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
ASU 2017-04,
Intangibles –
Goodwill and
Other (Topic 350):
Simplifying the
Test for Goodwill
Impairment
|
This ASU removes the requirements in step two of the current goodwill impairment model, eliminating the requirement to calculate and compare the implied fair value of the reporting entity with the carrying amount of that entity, including goodwill, to measure any impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., measure the charge based on step one of the current guidance).
The ASU also continues to allow entities to perform an optional qualitative goodwill impairment assessment before determining whether to proceed to the quantitative step one. The Update is effective for the Bank as of January 1, 2020. Early adoption is allowed for any goodwill impairment test performed after January 1, 2017. |
January 1, 2020 | We adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020; the impact upon adoption was not significant. The transition and adoption provisions were applied prospectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

3. FAIR VALUE
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. For a discussion of the Bank’s valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value hierarchy, see Note 3 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the three months ended March 31, we recognized less than $1 million of net gains in 2020 and 2019 from the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties that had a carrying value, at the time of sale, of $2 million and $1 million during these same periods. Prior to their sale, we recognized an insignificant amount of impairment on these properties during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Private equity investments carried at cost were measured at fair value for impairment purposes according to the methodology previously discussed for these investments. Amounts of PEIs carried at cost were $8 million at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Amounts of other noninterest-bearing investments carried at cost were $197 million at March 31, 2020 and $157 million at December 31, 2019, which were comprised of Federal Reserve
51
and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. Private equity investments accounted for using the equity method were $47 million at March 31, 2020 and $45 million at December 31, 2019.
Loans that are collateral-dependent were measured at the lower of amortized cost or the fair value of the collateral. OREO was measured initially at fair value based on collateral appraisals at the time of transfer and subsequently at the lower of cost or fair value. For additional information regarding the measurement of fair value for impaired loans, collateral-dependent loans, and OREO, see Note 3 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Security repurchase and reverse repurchase (“resell”) agreements are offset, when applicable, in the balance sheet according to master netting agreements. Security repurchase agreements are included with “Federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings.” Derivative instruments may be offset under their master netting agreements; however, for accounting purposes, we present these items on a gross basis in the Bank’s balance sheet. See Note 7 for further information regarding derivative instruments.
5. INVESTMENTS
Investment Securities
Securities are classified as HTM, AFS or trading. HTM securities, which management has the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. AFS securities are carried at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are reported as net increases or decreases to accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Trading securities are carried at fair value with gains and losses recognized in current period earnings. The purchase premiums for callable debt securities classified as HTM or AFS are amortized at a constant effective yield to the earliest call date. The purchase premiums and discounts for all other HTM and AFS securities are amortized and accreted at a constant effective yield to the contractual maturity date and no assumption is made concerning prepayments. As principal prepayments occur, the portion of the unamortized premium or discount associated with the principal reduction is recognized in interest income in the period the principal is reduced. Note 3 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K discusses the process to estimate fair value for investment securities.

Impairment
Ongoing Policy
We review investment securities on a quarterly basis for the presence of impairment. For AFS securities, we assess whether impairment is present on an individual security basis when the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. When determining if the fair value of an investment is less than the amortized cost basis we have elected to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of the investment. If we have an intent to sell an identified security, or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, then we recognize an impairment equal to any existing allowance written off against the security.
If we do not have the intent to sell a security, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell a security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, then we determine whether there is any impairment attributable to credit-related factors. We analyze certain factors, primarily internal and external credit ratings, to determine if the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. If a credit
55
impairment is determined to exist, then we measure the amount of credit loss and recognize an allowance for the credit loss. In measuring the credit loss, we generally compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security to the amortized cost basis of the security. These cash flows are credit adjusted using, among other things, assumptions for default probability and loss severity. Certain other unobservable inputs such as prepayment rate assumptions are also utilized. In addition, certain internal models may be utilized. To determine the credit-related portion of impairment we use the security-specific effective interest rate when estimating the present value of cash flows. If the present value of cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, then this amount is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis (i.e., the credit impairment cannot result in the security being carried at an amount lower than its fair value). The assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows depends on the particular asset class, structure and credit rating of the security. Declines in fair value that are not recorded in the allowance are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.
AFS Impairment Conclusions
The Bank did not recognize any impairment on its AFS investment securities portfolio during the first three months of 2020. Unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates subsequent to purchase and are not attributable to credit. At March 31, 2020, we had not initiated any sales of AFS securities nor did we have an intent to sell any identified securities with unrealized losses, and we do not believe it is more likely than not we would be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.
HTM Credit Quality
For HTM securities, the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") is assessed consistent with the approach discussed in Note 6 for loans carried at amortized cost. The ACL on HTM securities was less than $1 million at March 31, 2020. All HTM securities were risk-graded as "pass" in terms of credit quality and none were past due as of March 31, 2020. The amortized cost basis of HTM securities categorized by year of issuance is summarized as follows:

Loans and leases are presented at their amortized cost basis, which includes net unamortized purchase premiums, discounts, and deferred loan fees and costs totaling $44 million and $48 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Amortized cost basis does not include accrued interest receivables of $164 million at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. These receivables are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet within the Other Assets line item.
Municipal loans generally include loans to state and local governments (“municipalities”) with the debt service being repaid from general funds or pledged revenues of the municipal entity, or to private commercial entities or 501(c)(3) not-for-profit entities utilizing a pass-through municipal entity to achieve favorable tax treatment.
Land acquisition and development loans included in the construction and land development loan portfolio were $149 million at March 31, 2020 and $158 million at December 31, 2019.
Loans with a carrying value of $27.8 billion at March 31, 2020 and $21.5 billion at December 31, 2019 have been pledged at the Federal Reserve or the FHLB of Des Moines as collateral for current and potential borrowings.
We sold loans totaling $299 million and $118 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, that were classified as loans held for sale. The sold loans were derecognized from the balance sheet. Loans classified as loans held for sale primarily consist of conforming residential mortgages and the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, and does not consist of loans from the SBA's Payroll Protection Program. The loans are mainly sold to U.S. government agencies or participated to third parties. At times, we have continuing involvement in the transferred loans in the form of servicing rights or a guarantee from
57
the respective issuer. Amounts added to loans held for sale during these same periods were $315 million and $93 million, respectively. See Note 5 for further information regarding guaranteed securities.
The principal balance of sold loans for which we retain servicing was approximately $1.7 billion at both March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019. Income from loans sold, excluding servicing, was $13 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”), which consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, represents our estimate of current expected credit losses over the contractual term of the loan and lease portfolio and unfunded lending commitments as of the balance sheet date. The ACL for AFS and HTM debt securities is estimated separately from loans. For HTM securities, the ACL is assessed consistent with the approach for loans carried at amortized cost. See Note 5 for further discussion on our assessment of expected credit losses on AFS securities and disclosures related to AFS and HTM securities.
We determine our ACL as the best estimate within a range of estimated current expected losses by using the loan’s amortized cost basis (principal balance, net of unamortized premiums, discounts, and deferred fees and costs). We do not estimate the ACL for accrued interest receivables because we reverse or write-off uncollectible accrued interest receivable balances in a timely manner, generally within one month.
The methodologies we use to estimate the ACL depend upon the type of loan, the age and contractual term of the loan, expected payments (both contractual and assumed prepayments), credit quality indicators, economic forecasts, and the evaluation method (whether individually or collectively evaluated). Expected loan extensions, renewals, or modifications are not considered in the ACL, unless they are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable, or we reasonably expect them to result in a TDR.
Losses are charged to the ACL when recognized. Generally, commercial and commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans are charged off or charged down when they are determined to be uncollectible in whole or in part, or when 180 days past due, unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are either charged off or charged down to net realizable value no later than the month in which they become 180 days past due. Closed-end consumer loans that are not secured by residential real estate are either charged off or charged down to net realizable value no later than the month in which they become 120 days past due.
We establish the amount of the ACL by analyzing the portfolio at least quarterly, and we adjust the provision for loan losses and unfunded lending commitments to ensure the ACL is at an appropriate level at the balance sheet date.
For commercial and CRE loans with commitments greater than $1 million, we assign internal risk grades using a comprehensive loan grading system based on financial and statistical models, individual credit analysis, and loan officer experience and judgment. The credit quality indicators discussed subsequently are based on this grading system. Estimated credit losses on all loan segments, including consumer and small commercial and CRE loans with commitments less than or equal to $1 million that are evaluated on a collective basis, are derived from statistical analyses of our historical default and loss experience since January 2008.
We estimate current expected credit losses over the contractual remaining life of each loan, which considers historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. We use the following two types of credit loss estimation models:
•Econometric loss models, which rely on statistical analyses of our historical loss experience dependent upon economic factors and other loan-level characteristics. Statistically relevant economic factors vary depending upon the type of loan, but include variables such as unemployment, real estate price indices, energy prices, GDP, etc.
•Loss models that are based on our long-term average historical credit loss experience since 2008, which rely on statistical analyses of our historical loss experience dependent upon loan-level characteristics.
58
Estimated credit losses during the first 12 months of a loan’s contractual remaining life, or reasonable and supportable period, are derived from the econometric loss models. Over a subsequent 12-month reversion period, we blend the estimated credit losses from the two models on a straight-line basis. For the remaining life of the loan, the estimated credit losses are derived from the long-term average historical credit loss models.
For loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans, we estimate lifetime expected credit losses on an individual basis. We consider individually-evaluated loans to be nonaccrual loans with a balance greater than $1 million; TDR loans, including TDRs that subsequently default; a loan no longer reported as a TDR; or a loan where we reasonably expect it to become a TDR. When a loan is individually-evaluated for expected credit losses, we estimate a specific reserve for the loan based on the projected present value of the loan’s future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral.
The process of estimating future cash flows also incorporates the same determining factors discussed subsequently under nonaccrual loans. When we base the specific reserve on the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral, we generally charge-off the portion of the balance that is greater than fair value. For these loans, subsequent to the charge-off, if the fair value of the loan's underlying collateral increases according to an updated appraisal, we hold a negative reserve up to the lesser of the amount of the charge-off or the updated fair value.
The methodologies described above generally rely on historical loss information to help determine our quantitative portion of the ACL. However, we also consider other qualitative and environmental factors related to current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that may indicate current expected credit losses may differ from the historical information reflected in our quantitative models. Thus, after applying historical loss experience, as described above, we review the quantitative portion of ACL for each segment using qualitative criteria, and we use those criteria to determine our qualitative estimate. We monitor various risk factors that influence our judgment regarding the level of the ACL across the portfolio segments. These factors primarily include:
•Actual and expected changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments;
•The volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans;
•Lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and practices for collection, charge-off, and recovery;
•The experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;
•The nature and volume of the portfolio;
•The quality of the credit review function;
•The existence, growth, and effect of any concentration of credit;
•The effect of other external factors such as regulatory, legal, and technological environments; competition; and events such as natural disasters and pandemics;
The magnitude of the impact of these factors on our qualitative assessment of the ACL changes from quarter to quarter according to changes made by management in its assessment of these factors, the extent these factors are already reflected in quantitative loss estimates, and the extent changes in these factors diverge from one to another. We also consider the uncertainty and imprecision inherent in the estimation process when evaluating the ACL.
Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures
As previously discussed, we estimate current expected credit losses for off-balance sheet loan commitments, including standby letters of credit, that are not unconditionally cancellable. This estimate uses the same procedures and methodologies described previously for loans and is calculated by taking the difference between the estimated current expected credit loss and the funded balance, if greater than zero.
Changes in the Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and its subsequent updates, often referred to as the Current
59
Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") standard. Due to the adoption of the standard, the ACL methodology explained above has significantly changed from the prior period. For more information on our previous ACL methodology, see Note 6 in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The ACL at adoption of the CECL standard was $526 million. During the first quarter of 2020, our estimate of current expected credit losses significantly increased primarily due to the uncertain economic impact related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant decrease in oil and gas-related prices, both of which were not contemplated during the prior period.

Nonaccrual Loans
Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when payment in full of principal and interest is not expected, or the loan is 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. Factors we consider in determining whether a loan is placed on nonaccrual include delinquency status, collateral value, borrower or guarantor financial statement information, bankruptcy status, and other information which would indicate that the full and timely collection of interest and principal is uncertain.
A nonaccrual loan may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement; the loan, if secured, is well-secured; the borrower has paid according to the contractual terms for a minimum of six months; and an analysis of the borrower indicates a reasonable assurance of the ability and willingness to maintain payments.

For accruing loans, interest is accrued, and interest payments are recognized, into interest income according to the contractual loan agreement. For nonaccruing loans, the accrual of interest is discontinued, any uncollected or accrued interest is reversed or written-off from interest income in a timely manner (generally within one month), and any payments received on these loans are not recognized into interest income, but are applied as a reduction to the principal outstanding. There was no interest income recognized on a cash basis during the period the loans were on nonaccrual for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
The amount of accrued interest receivables written off by reversing interest income during the period is summarized by loan portfolio segment as follows:

Past Due Loans
Closed-end loans with payments scheduled monthly are reported as past due when the borrower is in arrears for two or more monthly payments. Similarly, open-end credits, such as charge-card plans and other revolving credit plans, are reported as past due when the minimum payment has not been made for two or more billing cycles. Other multi-payment obligations (i.e., quarterly, semi-annual, etc.), single payment, and demand notes, are reported as past due when either principal or interest is due and unpaid for a period of 30 days or more.

Credit Quality Indicators
In addition to the nonaccrual and past due criteria, we also analyze loans using loan risk-grading systems, which vary based on the size and type of credit risk exposure. The internal risk grades assigned to loans follow our definitions of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful, which are consistent with published definitions of regulatory risk classifications.
Definitions of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful are summarized as follows:
•Pass – A Pass asset is higher-quality and does not fit any of the other categories described below. The likelihood of loss is considered low.
•Special Mention – A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.
•Substandard – A Substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified have well-defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank may sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.
•Doubtful – A Doubtful asset has all the weaknesses inherent in a Substandard asset with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable.
The balance of loans classified as Doubtful as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was insignificant.
We generally assign internal risk grades to commercial and CRE loans with commitments greater than $1 million based on financial and statistical models, individual credit analysis, and loan officer experience and judgment. For these larger loans, we assign one of multiple grades within the Pass classification or one of the following four grades: Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. Loss indicates that the outstanding balance has been charged off. We confirm our internal risk grades quarterly, or as soon as we identify information that affects the credit risk of the loan.
For consumer loans and certain small commercial and CRE loans with commitments less than or equal to $1 million, we generally assign internal risk grades similar to those described previously based on automated rules that depend on refreshed credit scores, payment performance, and other risk indicators. These are generally assigned either a Pass or Substandard grade and are reviewed as we identify information that might warrant a grade change.
The amortized cost basis of loans and leases categorized by year of origination and by credit quality classifications as monitored by management are summarized as follows:

Modified and Restructured Loans
Loans may be modified in the normal course of business for competitive reasons or to strengthen the Bank’s position. Loan modifications and restructurings may also occur when the borrower experiences financial difficulty and needs temporary or permanent relief from the original contractual terms of the loan. Loans that have been modified to accommodate a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties, and for which the Bank has granted a concession that it would not otherwise consider, are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).
Consistent with recent accounting and regulatory guidance, loan modifications provided to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties exclusively related to the COVID-19 pandemic, in which we provide certain short-term modifications or payment deferrals, are not classified as TDRs. The TDRs disclosed subsequently do not include these loan modifications.
For further discussion of our policies and processes regarding TDRs, see Note 6 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Unfunded lending commitments on TDRs amounted to $4 million and $5 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The total recorded investment of all TDRs in which interest rates were modified below market was $70 million at March 31, 2020 and $73 million at December 31, 2019. These loans are included in the previous schedule in the columns for interest rate below market and multiple modification types.
The net financial impact on interest income due to interest rate modifications below market for accruing TDRs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was not significant.
On an ongoing basis, we monitor the performance of all TDRs according to their restructured terms. Subsequent payment default is defined in terms of delinquency, when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or more for commercial loans, or 60 days or more for consumer loans.

Collateral-Dependent Loans
As discussed previously, when a loan is individually-evaluated for expected credit losses, we estimate a specific reserve for the loan based on the projected present value of the loan’s future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral.
Selected information on loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, including the type of collateral and the extent to which the collateral secures the loans, is summarized as follows:

1 The fair value is based on the most recent appraisal or other collateral evaluation.
Foreclosed Residential Real Estate
At both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the Bank was less than $1 million. The amortized cost basis of consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure was $12 million and $8 million for the same periods, respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the possibility of loss from the failure of a borrower, guarantor, or another obligor to fully perform under the terms of a credit-related contract. We perform an ongoing analysis of our loan portfolio to evaluate whether there is any significant exposure to any concentrations of credit risk. See Note 6 of our 2019 Annual Report
68
on Form 10-K for further discussion of our evaluation of credit risk concentrations. See also Note 7 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of counterparty risk associated with the Bank’s derivative transactions.
7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Accounting
The Bank is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest income or expense, to modify the duration of specific assets or liabilities as we consider advisable, to manage exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks, and/or to directly offset derivatives sold to our customers. For a detailed discussion of the use of and accounting policies regarding derivative instruments, see Note 7 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Fair Value Hedges – As of March 31, 2020, the Bank had $500 million notional amount of an interest rate swap designated in a qualifying fair value hedge relationship. The hedging instrument used is a receive-fixed interest rate swap converting the interest on our fixed-rate debt to floating. The hedge is designated as a fair value hedge of the change in fair value of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) benchmark swap rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows of our fixed-rate debt. The swap is structured to match the critical terms of the hedged notes, resulting in the expectation that the swap will be highly effective as a hedging instrument. All interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges were highly effective and met all other requirements to remain designated and part of qualifying hedge accounting relationships as of the balance sheet date. During the quarter the fair value hedge swap portfolio increased in value by $71 million, which was offset by the change in fair value of the hedged debt, resulting in no direct earnings impact.
At December 31, 2019 we had $1.5 billion of fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of long-term debt (effectively converting the fixed-rate debt into floating-rate debt). In late March 2020, we terminated $1 billion of swaps (i.e., two $500 million swaps with maturities in August 2021 and February 2022) with a combined fair value of $36 million. As a result, the cumulative basis adjustment on the debt at the time of the terminations will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense through the maturity of the debt, thereby reducing the effective interest rate. The Bank has $36 million of unamortized debt basis adjustments from previously designed fair value hedges.
Cash Flow Hedges – For derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedges, periodic changes in fair value are deferred in AOCI. Amounts deferred in AOCI are reclassified into earnings in the periods in which the hedged forecasted transactions (i.e., the hedged floating-rate commercial loan interest receipts) are recognized in earnings or become probable not to occur.
As of March 31, 2020, the Bank had $3.5 billion notional amount of receive-fixed interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges of pools of floating-rate commercial loans. During the first quarter of 2020, the Bank's cash flow hedge portfolio increased in value by $88 million, which was recorded in AOCI. The amounts deferred in AOCI are reclassified into earnings in the periods in which the interest payments occur (i.e. when the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings).
Collateral and Credit Risk
Exposure to credit risk arises from the possibility of nonperformance by counterparties. No significant losses on derivative instruments have occurred as a result of counterparty nonperformance. For a more detailed discussion of collateral and credit risk related to our derivative contracts, see Note 7 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our derivative contracts require us to pledge collateral for derivatives that are in a net liability position at a given balance sheet date. Certain of these derivative contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features that include the requirement to maintain a minimum debt credit rating. We may be required to pledge additional collateral if a credit-risk-related feature were triggered, such as a downgrade of our credit rating. However, in past situations, not all counterparties have demanded that additional collateral be pledged when provided for by the contractual terms. At March 31, 2020, the fair value of our derivative liabilities was $484 million, for which we were required to
69
pledge cash collateral of $145 million in the normal course of business. If our credit rating were downgraded one notch by either Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s at March 31, 2020, there would likely be $3 million of additional collateral required to be pledged. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), all newly eligible derivatives entered into are cleared through a central clearinghouse. Derivatives that are centrally cleared do not have credit-risk-related features that require additional collateral if our credit rating were downgraded.

1 Customer-facing interest rate derivatives in an asset position include a $23 million and an $11 million net credit valuation adjustment reducing the fair value amounts as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. There was no debit valuation adjustment for derivative liabilities. These adjustments are required to reflect both our nonperformance risk and that of the respective counterparty.
2 The fair value amounts for these derivatives do not include the settlement amounts for those trades that are cleared. Once the settlement amounts with the clearing houses are included the derivative fair values would be the following:

8. LEASES
We determine if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. For a more detailed discussion of our lease policies, see Note 8 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We have operating and finance leases for branches, corporate offices, and data centers. Our equipment leases are not material. At March 31, 2020, we had 423 branches, of which 276 are owned and 147 are leased. We lease our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, and other office or data centers are either owned or leased.
The Bank may enter into certain lease arrangements with a term of 12 months or less, and we have elected to exclude these from capitalization. The length of our commitments for leases ranges from 2020 to 2062, some of which include options to extend or terminate the leases.
Assets recorded under operating leases were $211 million at March 31, 2020, and $218 million at December 31, 2019, while assets recorded under finance leases were $4 million at both of those dates. We utilized a secured incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining term of the lease as of the effective date for the discount rate to determine our lease ROU assets and liabilities. The following schedule presents lease-related assets and liabilities, their weighted average remaining life, and the weighted average discount rate.

The Bank enters into certain lease agreements where it is the lessor of real estate. Real estate leases are made from bank-owned and subleased property to generate cash flow from the property, including from leasing vacant suites in which the Bank occupies portions of the building. Operating lease income was $3 million for both the first quarters of 2020 and 2019.
The Bank also has a lending division that makes equipment leases, considered to be sales-type leases or direct financing leases, totaling $331 million and $334 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Bank uses leasing of equipment as a venue for customers to access equipment without purchasing upfront. The Bank recorded income of $3 million and $4 million on these leases for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019.

The preceding carrying values represent the par value of the debt adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, unamortized debt issuance costs, and basis adjustments for interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges. The change in outstanding senior and subordinated debt balances from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020 was primarily a result of the basis adjustments on the interest rate swaps. During the first quarter of 2020 the Bank terminated two receive-fixed interest rate swaps designated as hedges on senior notes, resulting in one outstanding receive-fixed interest rate swap designated as a hedge on a $500 million subordinated note with an interest rate of 3.25% at March 31, 2020. The outstanding swap constitutes a qualifying fair value hedging relationship. The terminated interest rate swaps will be amortized off until the original maturity date. For more information on derivatives designated as qualifying fair value hedges, see Note 7 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
Common Stock
The Bank’s common stock is traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“NASDAQ”) Global Select Market. As of March 31, 2020, there were 163.9 million shares of 0.001 par value common stock outstanding. The balance of common stock and additional paid-in capital was $2.7 billion at March 31, 2020, and decreased $67 million, or 2%, from December 31, 2019, primarily due to Bank common stock repurchases.
During the first quarter of 2020, we continued our common stock buyback program and repurchased 1.7 million shares of common stock outstanding with a fair value of $75 million at an average price of $45.02 per share.
As of March 31, 2020 29.2 million common stock warrants (NASDAQ: ZIONW), with an exercise price of $33.67 were outstanding, and each common stock warrant was convertible into 1.09 shares. The exercise of the common stock warrants is cashless as the warrants are settled on a net share basis. These warrants expire on May 22, 2020.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated other comprehensive income improved to $259 million at March 31, 2020 from $43 million at December 31, 2019 primarily as a result of increases in the fair value of AFS securities due to changes in interest rates. Changes in AOCI by component are as follows:

At March 31, 2020, the Bank had recorded $4 million as a liability for the guarantees associated with the standby letters of credit, which consisted of $2 million attributable to the RULC and $2 million of deferred commitment fees.
Legal Matters
We are subject to litigation in court and arbitral proceedings, as well as proceedings, investigations, examinations and other actions brought or considered by governmental and self-regulatory agencies. Litigation may relate to lending, deposit and other customer relationships, vendor and contractual issues, employee matters, intellectual property matters, personal injuries and torts, regulatory and legal compliance, and other matters. While most matters relate to individual claims, we are also subject to putative class action claims and similar broader claims. Proceedings, investigations, examinations and other actions brought or considered by governmental and self-regulatory agencies may relate to our banking, investment advisory, trust, securities, and other products and services; our customers’ involvement in money laundering, fraud, securities violations and other illicit activities or our policies and practices relating to such customer activities; and our compliance with the broad range of banking, securities and other laws and regulations applicable to us. At any given time, we may be in the process of responding to subpoenas, requests for documents, data and testimony relating to such matters and engaging in discussions to resolve the matters.
As of March 31, 2020, we were subject to the following material litigation or governmental inquiries:
•a civil suit, JTS Communities, Inc. et. al v. CB&T, Jun Enkoji and Dawn Satow, brought against us in the Superior Court for Sacramento County, California in June 2017. In this case four investors in our former customer, International Manufacturing Group (“IMG”) seek to hold us liable for losses arising from their investments in that company, alleging that we conspired with and knowingly assisted IMG and its principal in furtherance of an alleged Ponzi scheme. This case is in the discovery phase with dispositive motion practice underway. The hearings for the dispositive motions have been delayed indefinitely, and the previously scheduled May 2020 trial setting has been vacated to be reset in the future due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
75
•a civil class action lawsuit, Evans v. CB&T, brought against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California in May 2017. This case was filed on behalf of a class of up to 50 investors in IMG and seeks to hold us liable for losses of class members arising from their investments in IMG, alleging that we conspired with and knowingly assisted IMG and its principal in furtherance of an alleged Ponzi scheme. In December 2017, the District Court dismissed all claims against the Bank. In January 2018, the plaintiff filed an appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appeal was heard in early April 2019 with the Court of Appeals reversing the trial court’s dismissal. This case is in the post-pleading phase, with an initial status conference scheduled for July 2020, and as a result, trial will not occur for a substantial period of time.
•two civil cases, Lifescan Inc. and Johnson & Johnson Health Care Services v. Jeffrey Smith, et. al., brought against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in December 2017, and Roche Diagnostics and Roche Diabetes Care Inc. v. Jeffrey C. Smith, et. al., brought against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in March 2019. In these cases, certain manufacturers and distributors of medical products seek to hold us liable for allegedly fraudulent practices of a borrower of the Bank who filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017. The cases are in early phases, with initial motion practice and discovery underway in the Lifescan case. Trial has not been scheduled in either case.
•a civil class action lawsuit, Gregory, et. al. v. Zions Bancorporation, brought against us in the United States District Court in Utah in January 2019. This case was filed on behalf of investors in Rust Rare Coin, Inc., alleging that we aided and abetted a Ponzi scheme fraud perpetrated by Rust Rare Coin, a Zions Bank customer. The case follows civil actions and the establishment of a receivership for Rust Rare Coin by The Commodities Futures Trading Commission and the Utah Division of Securities in November 2018, as well as a separate suit brought by the SEC against Rust Rare Coin and its principal, Gaylen Rust. The matter is in the early motion practice state. During the second quarter of 2019, we filed a motion to dismiss which has not yet been ruled upon by the Court. Trial has not been scheduled.
At least quarterly, we review outstanding and new legal matters, utilizing then available information. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, if we determine that a loss from a matter is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we establish an accrual for the loss. In the absence of such a determination, no accrual is made. Once established, accruals are adjusted to reflect developments relating to the matters.
In our review, we also assess whether we can determine the range of reasonably possible losses for significant matters in which we are unable to determine that the likelihood of a loss is remote. Because of the difficulty of predicting the outcome of legal matters, discussed subsequently, we are able to meaningfully estimate such a range only for a limited number of matters. Based on information available as of March 31, 2020, we estimated that the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for those matters to be from $0 million to roughly $35 million in excess of amounts accrued. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those matters for which a meaningful estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent our maximum loss exposure.
Based on our current knowledge, we believe that our current estimated liability for litigation and other legal actions and claims, reflected in our accruals and determined in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, is adequate and that liabilities in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, arising from litigation and other legal actions and claims for which an estimate as previously described is possible, will not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in light of the significant uncertainties involved in these matters, and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for any given reporting period.
Any estimate or determination relating to the future resolution of litigation, arbitration, governmental or self-regulatory examinations, investigations or actions or similar matters is inherently uncertain and involves significant judgment. This is particularly true in the early stages of a legal matter, when legal issues and facts have not been well articulated, reviewed, analyzed, and vetted through discovery, preparation for trial or hearings, substantive and
76
productive mediation or settlement discussions, or other actions. It is also particularly true with respect to class action and similar claims involving multiple defendants, matters with complex procedural requirements or substantive issues or novel legal theories, and examinations, investigations and other actions conducted or brought by governmental and self-regulatory agencies, in which the normal adjudicative process is not applicable. Accordingly, we usually are unable to determine whether a favorable or unfavorable outcome is remote, reasonably likely, or probable, or to estimate the amount or range of a probable or reasonably likely loss, until relatively late in the course of a legal matter, sometimes not until a number of years have elapsed. Accordingly, our judgments and estimates relating to claims will change from time to time in light of developments and actual outcomes will differ from our estimates. These differences may be material.
11. REVENUE RECOGNITION
We derive our revenue primarily from interest income on loans and securities, which was more than three-quarters of our revenue in the first quarter of 2020. Only noninterest income is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers in scope of ASC 606. For a discussion of the Bank’s revenue recognition from contracts, and the implementation of ASC 606, see Note 17 of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Disaggregation of Revenue
We provide services across different geographical areas, primarily in 11 Western U.S. States, under banking operations that have their own individual brand names, including Zions Bank, Amegy Bank, California Bank & Trust, National Bank of Arizona, Nevada State Bank, Vectra Bank Colorado, and The Commerce Bank of Washington. The operating segment listed as “Other” includes certain non-bank financial services subsidiaries, centralized back-office functions, and eliminations of transactions between segments. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net income or shareholders’ equity.

As disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Bank has frozen its participation and benefit accruals for the pension plan and its contributions for individual benefit payments in the postretirement benefit plan. In October 2018, the Bank decided to terminate its pension plan subject to obtaining necessary regulatory approval.
78
Completion of this termination is expected in mid-2020. Plan participant benefits will not be disadvantaged because of this decision.
13. INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate of 12.5% for the first quarter of 2020 was lower than the 2019 first quarter rate of 22.3%. The income tax rates for both 2020 and 2019 were reduced by nontaxable municipal interest income and nontaxable income from certain bank-owned life insurance, and were increased by the non-deductibility of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) premiums, certain executive compensation, and other fringe benefits. Further, the 2020 tax rate was reduced as a result of the proportional increase in nontaxable items and tax credits relative to pretax book income as compared to the prior year period.
We had a net deferred tax asset (“DTA”) balance of $6 million at March 31, 2020, compared with $37 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease in the net DTA resulted primarily from the decrease of accrued compensation and an increase in unrealized gains in other comprehensive income ("OCI") related to securities. An increase in the provision for loan losses in excess of net charge-offs, offset some of the overall decrease in DTA.

15. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
We manage our operations and prepare management reports and other information with a primary focus on geographical area. Our banking operations are managed under their own individual brand names, including Zions Bank, Amegy Bank, California Bank & Trust, National Bank of Arizona, Nevada State Bank, Vectra Bank Colorado, and The Commerce Bank of Washington. Performance assessment and resource allocation are based upon this geographical structure. We use an internal funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) allocation system to report results of operations for business segments. This process is continually refined. In the third quarter of 2019, we made changes to the FTP process to more accurately reflect the cost of funds for loans. Prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the impact of these changes had they been instituted for the periods presented. Total average loans and deposits presented for the banking segments include insignificant intercompany amounts between banking segments and may also include deposits with the Other segment.
As of March 31, 2020, our banking business is conducted through 7 locally managed and branded segments in distinct geographical areas. Zions Bank operates 95 branches in Utah, 25 branches in Idaho, and one branch in Wyoming. Amegy operates 75 branches in Texas. CB&T operates 85 branches in California. NBAZ operates 58 branches in Arizona. NSB operates 46 branches in Nevada. Vectra operates 34 branches in Colorado and one branch in New Mexico. TCBW operates two branches in Washington and one branch in Oregon.
The operating segment identified as “Other” includes certain non-bank financial service subsidiaries, centralized back-office functions, and eliminations of transactions between segments. The major components of net interest income at the Bank’s back-office include the revenue associated with the investments securities portfolio and the offset of the FTP costs and benefits provided to the business segments.
The following schedule does not present total assets or income tax expense for each operating segment, but instead presents average loans, average deposits and income before income taxes because these are the metrics that management uses when evaluating performance and making decisions pertaining to the operating segments. The Bank’s net interest income includes interest expense on borrowed funds. The condensed statement of income identifies the components of income and expense which affect the operating amounts presented in the Other segment.
The accounting policies of the individual operating segments are the same as those of the Bank. Transactions between operating segments are primarily conducted at fair value, resulting in profits that are eliminated for reporting consolidated results of operations.
The following schedule presents selected operating segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:
