NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

 

See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this Report for terms used throughout the consolidated financial statements and related notes of this Form 10-Q.

 

General

 

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The information contained in the financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders’ equity or net income.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the ACL, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.

 

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

In May 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to classify in the fair value hierarchy any investments for which fair value is measured at net asset value per share using the practical expedient. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to Internal-Use Software. Under the new guidance, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to Debt Issuance Costs. The new guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

 

8

In February 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to Consolidation. The new guidance provides an additional requirement for a limited partnership or similar entity to qualify as a voting interest entity, amending the criteria for consolidating such an entity and eliminating the deferral provided under previous guidance for investment companies. In addition, the new guidance amends the criteria for evaluating fees paid to a decision maker or service provider as a variable interest and amends the criteria for evaluating the effect of fee arrangements and related parties on a VIE primary beneficiary determination. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Accounting Standards Codification. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; however, the FASB has proposed a one year deferral of the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company adopted new guidance related to Receivables. The new guidance requires that a government guaranteed mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if certain conditions are met. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company adopted new guidance related to Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions and Repurchase Financings. The new guidance changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting. The guidance also requires separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which results in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company adopted new guidance related to Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The Company used the retrospective method of adoption and has elected the proportional amortization method to account for these investments. The proportional amortization method allows an entity to amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the amount of tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognize the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of the provision for income taxes. See Note 13 “Commitments and Contingencies” for the impact of the adoption of this guidance.

NOTE 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

 

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocations for certain bank and branch acquisitions. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented at their estimated fair values. In many cases, the determination of these fair values required management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. The fair value estimates for the current-year acquisitions are considered preliminary and are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information becomes available.

The acquisition of The Bank of Kentucky provided 32 additional retail branches. The UPB of loans acquired from The Bank of Kentucky was $1.3 billion, and the acquired goodwill is expected to be non-deductible for income tax purposes.

 

BB&T has reached an agreement and received regulatory approval to acquire Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. Closing is expected to occur on August 1, 2015.

 

During the second quarter of 2015, BB&T purchased additional ownership interest in AmRisc, LP. from the noncontrolling owners for cash and ownership of American Coastal. Since BB&T held a controlling interest in AmRisc, LP prior to this transaction, the total consideration less the establishment of a deferred tax asset was recognized as a charge to shareholders’ equity. BB&T will continue to consolidate AmRisc, LP and recognize a noncontrolling interest for the remaining interests held by the noncontrolling owners. The transfer of the ownership of American Coastal was accounted for as a sale, and the resulting pre-tax loss is included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The following table summarizes these transactions:

The fair value of securities acquired from the FDIC included non-agency MBS of $853 million and $931 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and states and political subdivisions securities of $304 million and $312 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Effective October 1, 2014, securities subject to the commercial loss sharing agreement with the FDIC related to the Colonial acquisition were no longer covered by loss sharing; however, any gains on the sale of these securities through September 30, 2017 would be shared with the FDIC. Since these securities are in a significant unrealized gain position, they continue to be effectively covered as any declines in the unrealized gains of the securities down to a contractually specified amount would reduce the liability to the FDIC at the applicable percentage. The contractually-specified amount is the acquisition date fair value less any paydowns, redemptions or maturities and OTTI and totaled approximately $554 million at June 30, 2015. Any further declines below the contractually-specified amount would not be covered.

 

Certain investments in marketable debt securities and MBS issued by FNMA and FHLMC exceeded ten percent of shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2015. The FNMA investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $13.0 billion and $12.8 billion, respectively. The FHLMC investments had total amortized cost and fair value of $5.8 billion.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the securities portfolio by contractual maturity are shown in the following table. The expected life of MBS may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay the underlying mortgage loans with or without prepayment penalties.

The unrealized losses on GSE securities and agency MBS were the result of increases in market interest rates compared to the date the securities were acquired rather than the credit quality of the issuers or underlying loans. At June 30, 2015, one non-agency MBS had an immaterial amount of credit impairment.

 

At June 30, 2015, $61 million of the unrealized loss on states and political subdivisions securities was the result of fair value hedge basis adjustments that are a component of amortized cost. These securities in an unrealized loss position are evaluated for credit impairment through a qualitative analysis of issuer performance and the primary source of repayment. At June 30, 2015, four of these securities had immaterial amounts of credit impairment.

During the first quarter of 2014, approximately $8.3 billion of nonguaranteed, closed-end, first and second lien position residential mortgage loans, along with the related allowance, were transferred from direct retail lending to residential mortgage to facilitate compliance with a series of new rules related to mortgage servicing associated with first and second lien position mortgages collateralized by real estate.

 

During the third quarter of 2014, approximately $550 million of loans, which were primarily performing residential mortgage TDRs, with a related ALLL of $57 million were sold for a gain of $42 million. During the fourth quarter of 2014, approximately $140 million of loans, which were primarily residential mortgage NPLs, with a related ALLL of $19 million were sold for a gain of $24 million. Both gains were recognized as reductions to the provision for credit losses.

 

Effective October 1, 2014, loans subject to the commercial loss sharing agreement with the FDIC related to the Colonial acquisition were no longer covered by loss sharing. At June 30, 2015, these loans had a carrying value of $392 million, a UPB of $617 million and an allowance of $41 million and are included in acquired from FDIC loans. Loans with a carrying value of $600 million at June 30, 2015 continue to be covered by loss sharing and are included in the acquired from FDIC balance.

The sensitivity of the fair value of the residential MSRs to changes in key assumptions is included in the accompanying table:
                                               
        June 30, 2015   December 31, 2014  
        Range   Weighted   Range   Weighted

  Composition of loans serviced for others:                                        
    Fixed-rate residential mortgage loans                99.3  %                  99.4  %  
    Adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans                0.7                     0.6     
      Total                100.0  %                  100.0  %  
                                               
  Weighted average life                7.7  yrs                  5.7  yrs  

 

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

NOTE 11. Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 13.8% and 31.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 23.4% and 31.0%, respectively. The effective tax rates were lower than the corresponding periods of 2014 primarily due to adjustments for uncertain tax positions as described below. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2014, a tax provision of $14 million related to the IRS’s change in stance related to an income tax position that was under examination was recorded. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to investments in qualified affordable housing projects. See Note 13 “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information.

 

In February 2010, BB&T received an IRS statutory notice of deficiency for tax years 2002-2007 asserting a liability for taxes, penalties and interest of approximately $892 million related to the disallowance of foreign tax credits and other deductions claimed by a subsidiary in connection with a financing transaction. BB&T paid the disputed tax, penalties and interest in March 2010 and filed a lawsuit seeking a refund in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. On September 20, 2013, the court denied the refund claim. BB&T appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On May 14, 2015, the appeals court overturned a portion of the earlier ruling, resulting in the recognition of income tax benefits of $107 million during the second quarter. The remainder of the decision was affirmed. While management is continuing to evaluate its options for responding to the court’s ruling, both BB&T and the IRS have the ability to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

 

Depending on both parties’ chosen courses of action, it is reasonably possible that the litigation associated with the financing transaction may conclude within the next twelve months; however, it is also possible that the appeals process could take longer than one year. Changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, penalties and interest could result in a benefit of up to approximately $596 million.

BB&T makes contributions to the qualified pension plan in amounts between the minimum required for funding and the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. Discretionary contributions totaling $117 million were made during 2015. There are no required contributions for the remainder of 2015, though BB&T may elect to make additional contributions.

Legal Proceedings

 

The nature of BB&T’s business ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. BB&T believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding legal proceedings and, with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management’s judgment as to what is in the best interests of BB&T and its shareholders.

 

On at least a quarterly basis, liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings are assessed utilizing the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that BB&T will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, a liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on at least a quarterly basis. For other matters, where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, legal reserves are not accrued. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, management believes that the established legal reserves are adequate and the liabilities arising from legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows of BB&T.

NOTE 14. Fair Value Disclosures

 

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

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

 

A third-party pricing service is generally utilized in determining the fair value of the securities portfolio. Management independently evaluates the fair values provided by the pricing service through comparisons to other third party pricing sources, review of additional information provided by the third party pricing service and other third party sources for selected securities and back-testing to compare the price realized on any security sales to the daily pricing information received from the pricing service. Fair value measurements are derived from market-based pricing matrices that were developed using observable inputs that include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, offers, bids, issuer spreads and broker quotes. As described by security type below, additional inputs may be used, or some inputs may not be applicable. In the event that market observable data was not available, which would generally occur due to the lack of an active market for a given security, the valuation of the security would be subjective and may involve substantial judgment by management.

 

Trading securities: Trading securities include various types of debt and equity securities, primarily consisting of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, GSEs, or states and political subdivisions. The valuation techniques used for these investments are more fully discussed below.

 

U.S. Treasury securities: Treasury securities are valued using quoted prices in active over the counter markets.

 

GSE securities and Agency MBS: GSE pass-through securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including benchmark TBA security pricing and yield curves that were estimated based on U.S. Treasury yields and certain floating rate indices. The pricing matrices for these securities may also give consideration to pool-specific data supplied directly by the GSE. GSE CMOs are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above.

 

States and political subdivisions: These securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including MSRB reported trades, issuer spreads, material event notices and benchmark yield curves.

 

Non-agency MBS: Pricing matrices for these securities are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above.

Other securities: These securities consist primarily of mutual funds and corporate bonds. These securities are valued based on a review of quoted market prices for assets as well as through the various other inputs discussed previously.

 

Acquired from FDIC securities: Securities acquired from the FDIC consist of re-remic non-agency MBS, municipal securities and non-agency MBS. State and political subdivision securities and certain non-agency MBS acquired from the FDIC are valued in a manner similar to the approach described above for those asset classes. The re-remic non-agency MBS, which are categorized as Level 3, are valued based on broker dealer quotes that reflected certain unobservable market inputs.

 

LHFS: Certain mortgage loans are originated to be sold to investors, which are carried at fair value. The fair value is primarily based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage LHFS.

 

Residential MSRs: Residential MSRs are valued using an OAS valuation model to project cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are then discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. Fair value estimates and assumptions are compared to industry surveys, recent market activity, actual portfolio experience and, when available, other observable market data.

 

Derivative assets and liabilities: The fair values of derivatives are determined based on quoted market prices and internal pricing models that are primarily sensitive to market observable data. The fair values of interest rate lock commitments, which are related to mortgage loan commitments and are categorized as Level 3, are based on quoted market prices adjusted for commitments that are not expected to fund and include the value attributable to the net servicing fees.

 

Private equity and similar investments: Private equity and similar investments are measured at fair value based on the investment’s net asset value. In many cases there are no observable market values for these investments and therefore management must estimate the fair value based on a comparison of the operating performance of the company to multiples in the marketplace for similar entities. This analysis requires significant judgment, and actual values in a sale could differ materially from those estimated.

 

Short-term borrowings: Short-term borrowings represent debt securities sold short that are entered into as a hedging strategy for the purposes of supporting institutional and retail client trading activities.

BB&T’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 as of the end of a reporting period.

 

The majority of private equity and similar investments are in SBIC qualified funds, which primarily focus on equity and subordinated debt investments in privately-held middle market companies. The majority of these investments are not redeemable and distributions are received as the underlying assets of the funds liquidate. The timing of distributions, which are expected to occur on various dates through 2025, is uncertain and dependent on various events such as recapitalizations, refinance transactions and ownership changes among others. Excluding the investment of future funds, these investments have an estimated weighted average remaining life of approximately two years; however, the timing and amount of distributions may vary significantly. Restrictions on the ability to sell the investments include, but are not limited to, consent of a majority member or general partner approval for transfer of ownership. These investments are spread over numerous privately-held middle market companies, and thus the sensitivity to a change in fair value for any single investment is limited. The significant unobservable inputs for these investments are EBITDA multiples that ranged from 5x to 11x, with a weighted average of 8x, at June 30, 2015.

 

The following table details the fair value and UPB of LHFS that were elected to be carried at fair value:

  LHFS reported at fair value $  2,469    $  2,468    $  1    $  1,423    $  1,390    $  33   

 

Excluding government guaranteed, LHFS that were nonaccrual or 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest were not material at June 30, 2015.

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

For financial instruments not recorded at fair value, estimates of fair value are based on relevant market data and information about the instrument and are based on the value of one trading unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between various instruments.

 

An active market does not exist for certain financial instruments. Fair value estimates for these instruments are based on current economic conditions, currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.

 

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash: For these short-term instruments, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair values.

 

HTM securities: The fair values of HTM securities are based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, issuer spreads, current bids and offers, monthly payment information and collateral performance.

 

Loans receivable: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality, which are deemed to be indicative of orderly transactions in the current market. For commercial loans and leases, discount rates may be adjusted to address additional credit risk on lower risk grade instruments. For residential mortgage and other consumer loans, internal prepayment risk models are used to adjust contractual cash flows. Loans are aggregated into pools of similar terms and credit quality and discounted using a LIBOR based rate. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair values.

 

FDIC loss share receivable and payable: The fair values of the receivable and payable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying a risk free interest rate that is adjusted for the uncertainty in the timing and amount of the cash flows. The expected cash flows to/from the FDIC related to loans were estimated using the same assumptions that were used in determining the accounting values for the related loans. The expected cash flows to/from the FDIC related to securities are based upon the fair value of the related securities and the payment that would be required if the securities were sold for that amount. The loss share agreements are not transferrable and, accordingly, there is no market for the receivable or payable.

 

Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand deposits are equal to the amount payable on demand. Fair values for CDs are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to aggregate expected maturities. BB&T has developed long-term relationships with its deposit customers, commonly referred to as CDIs, that have not been considered in the determination of the deposit liabilities’ fair value.

 

Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

 

Long-term debt: The fair values of long-term debt instruments are estimated based on quoted market prices for the instrument if available, or for similar instruments if not available, or by using discounted cash flow analyses, based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.

 

36

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

The fair values of derivatives in a gain or loss position are presented on a gross basis in other assets or other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash collateral posted for derivatives in a loss position is reported as restricted cash. Derivatives with dealer counterparties at both the bank and the parent company are governed by the terms of ISDA Master netting agreements and Credit Support Annexes. The ISDA Master agreements allow counterparties to offset trades in a gain against trades in a loss to determine net exposure and allows for the right of setoff in the event of either a default or an additional termination event. Credit Support Annexes govern the terms of daily collateral posting practices. Collateral practices mitigate the potential loss impact to affected parties by requiring liquid collateral to be posted on a scheduled basis to secure the aggregate net unsecured exposure. In addition to collateral, the right of setoff allows counterparties to offset net derivative values with a defaulting party against certain other contractual receivables from or obligations due to the defaulting party in determining the net termination amount. No portion of the change in fair value of derivatives designated as hedges has been excluded from effectiveness testing. The ineffective portion was immaterial for all periods presented.

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

      in future cash flows for forecasted transactions excluding those transactions                  
      relating to the payment of variable interest on existing instruments      7  yrs      8  yrs  
                           
  Fair value hedges:                  
    Unrecognized pre-tax net gain on terminated hedges (to be recognized                  
      as interest primarily through 2019)   $  177      $  227     
    Portion of pre-tax net gain on terminated hedges to be recognized as a change                  
      in interest during the next 12 months        76         88     

 

Derivatives Credit Risk – Dealer Counterparties

 

Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable to the same counterparty. The risk of loss is addressed by subjecting dealer counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans or other extensions of credit and by requiring collateral. Dealer counterparties operate under agreements to provide cash and/or liquid collateral when unsecured loss positions exceed negotiated limits.

 

Derivative contracts with dealer counterparties settle on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis, with daily movement of collateral between counterparties required within established netting agreements. BB&T only transacts with dealer counterparties that are national market makers with strong credit standings.

 

Derivatives Credit Risk – Central Clearing Parties

 

Certain derivatives are cleared through central clearing parties that require initial margin collateral, as well as collateral for trades in a net loss position. Initial margin collateral requirements are established by central clearing parties on varying bases, with such amounts generally designed to offset the risk of non-payment. Initial margin is generally calculated by applying the maximum loss experienced in value over a specified time horizon to the portfolio of existing trades. The central clearing party used for TBA transactions does not post variation margin to the bank.

Regulatory Considerations

 

BB&T and its affiliates are subject to numerous examinations by federal and state banking regulators, as well as the SEC, FINRA, and various state insurance and securities regulators. BB&T has from time to time received requests for information from regulatory authorities in various states, including state insurance commissions and state attorneys general, securities regulators and other regulatory authorities, concerning their business practices. Such requests are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for additional disclosures with respect to laws and regulations affecting BB&T.

 

Amendments to the Capital Plan and Stress Test Rules

 

During 2014, the FRB amended the start date of the capital plan and stress test cycles from October 1 to January 1 of the following calendar year. The FRB also amended the capital plan rule to limit a BHC’s ability to make capital distributions to the extent the BHC’s actual capital issuances are less than the amount indicated in its capital plan under baseline conditions, measured on a quarterly basis.

 

The FDIC revised the annual stress testing requirements for state non-member banks and state savings associations with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion. FDIC regulations require covered banks to conduct annual stress tests, report the results of such stress tests to the FDIC and the FRB and publicly disclose a summary of the results. The FDIC modified the “as-of” dates for financial data that covered banks will use to perform their stress tests as well as the reporting dates and public disclosure dates of the annual stress tests. The revisions to the regulations will become effective January 1, 2016.

 

Home Mortgage Disclosure (Regulation C)

 

The CFPB has published proposed amendments to Regulation C to implement changes to HMDA made by section 1094 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Specifically, the CFPB proposed several changes to revise the tests for determining which financial institutions and housing-related credit transactions are covered under HMDA. The CFPB also proposes to require financial institutions to report new data points identified in the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as other data points the CFPB believes may be necessary to carry out the purposes of HMDA. Further, the CFPB proposes to better align the requirements of Regulation C to existing industry standards where practicable. To improve the quality and timeliness of HMDA data, the CFPB proposed to require financial institutions with large numbers of reported transactions to submit their HMDA data on a quarterly, rather than an annual, basis. A final rule is expected to be issued during the third quarter of 2015.

 

CFPB

 

A final rule integrating disclosure required by the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act was previously scheduled to become effective August 1, 2015; however, the CFPB has extended the effective date to October 3, 2015.

 

Liquidity Coverage Ratio: Liquidity Risk Measurement Standards

 

The OCC, the FRB, and the FDIC have adopted a final rule that implements a quantitative liquidity requirement consistent with the liquidity coverage ratio standard established by the BCBS. Refer to “Market Risk Management” in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section herein for additional information.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and Conforming Regulations

 

During 2014, the IRS issued Notice 2014-33 (the “Notice”) regarding FATCA and its related withholding provisions. The Notice announces that calendar years 2014 and 2015 will be regarded as a transition period for purposes of IRS enforcement and administration with respect to the implementation of FATCA by withholding agents, foreign financial institutions and other entities with IRC chapter 4 responsibilities. The Notice also announces the IRS’s intention to further amend the regulations under Sections 1441, 1442, 1471, and 1472 of the IRC. Prior to the IRS issuing these amendments, taxpayers may rely on the provisions of the Notice regarding the proposed amendments to the regulations. The transition period and other guidance described in the Notice are intended to facilitate an orderly transition for withholding agent and foreign financial institution compliance with FATCA’s requirements and respond to comments regarding certain aspects of the regulations under chapters 3 and 4 of the IRC. BB&T expects to be in compliance with FATCA and its related provisions by the applicable effective dates.

 

U.S. Implementation of Basel III

 

The Basel III capital requirements became effective on January 1, 2015. As a result, capital information presented for periods after December 31, 2014 is based on the Basel III requirements, while capital data for periods prior to January 1, 2015 is based on the former requirements under Basel I. See the section titled “Capital” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further information.

 

Executive Summary

 

Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2015 was $454 million, an increase of $30 million compared to the same quarter of 2014. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the second quarter of 2015 were $0.62, compared to $0.58 for the earlier quarter.

 

BB&T’s results of operations for the second quarter of 2015 produced an annualized return on average assets of 1.06%, an annualized return on average risk-weighted assets of 1.32% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 8.20%, compared to earlier quarter ratios of 1.04%, 1.38% and 8.04%, respectively. BB&T’s return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity was 12.76% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 12.77% for the earlier quarter.

 

Effective January 1, 2015, BB&T adopted new guidance related to the accounting for investments in qualified affordable housing projects. For periods prior to January 1, 2015, amortization expense related to qualifying investments in low income housing tax credits was reclassified from other income to provision for income taxes, and the amount of amortization and tax benefits recognized was revised as a result of the adoption of the proportional amortization method. See Note 13 “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information.

 

During May 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rendered its decision on BB&T’s appeal of a prior ruling that disallowed foreign tax credits and other deductions claimed by a subsidiary in connection with a financing transaction. As a result of this decision, a portion of the earlier ruling was overturned and BB&T recognized net tax benefits of $107 million during the second quarter of 2015. Other aspects of the earlier ruling, which were adverse to BB&T, were affirmed by the Court of Appeals.

 

Results for the second quarter of 2015 included a loss on early extinguishment of higher cost FHLB advances of $172 million, or $107 million after-tax. The terminated advances totaled approximately $931 million and had a weighted average interest rate of 4.84% and a weighted average remaining life of approximately 6.6 years.

 

On June 1, 2015, BB&T closed on the sale of American Coastal, which resulted in a pre-tax loss on sale of $26 million primarily due to the allocation of $49 million of goodwill. As a result of the goodwill being non-deductible for income tax purposes, the sale generated income tax expense of $8 million, resulting in a net after-tax loss of $34 million, or $0.05 per share. In connection with this transaction, BB&T also increased its ownership interest in AmRisc, LP.

 

The results for the second quarter of 2014 were negatively impacted by after-tax adjustments totaling $88 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, that were recorded in connection with the identification of potential exposures related to residential mortgage loans originated by BB&T and insured by the FHA and an adjustment to a previously recorded income tax reserve.

 

47

Total revenues were $2.4 billion on a taxable-equivalent basis for the second quarter of 2015, up $31 million compared to the earlier quarter as a $61 million increase in noninterest income was partially offset by a $30 million decrease in taxable-equivalent net interest income.

 

The change in taxable-equivalent net interest income includes a $47 million decrease in interest income, driven by lower yields on new loans and the continued run-off of loans acquired from the FDIC, partially offset by a $17 million decrease in interest expense. Net interest margin was 3.27%, compared to 3.43% for the earlier quarter. Average earning assets increased $4.3 billion, or 2.7%, while average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $2.1 billion, or 1.8%. The annualized yield on the total loan portfolio for the second quarter was 4.18%, a decrease of 27 basis points compared to the earlier quarter, which primarily reflects lower yields on new loans and continued runoff of higher yielding loans acquired from the FDIC. The annualized fully taxable-equivalent yield on the average securities portfolio for the second quarter was 2.41%, two basis points lower than the earlier period.

 

The average annualized cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.24%, a decline of two basis points compared to the earlier quarter. The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt was 2.14%, a decrease of 24 basis points compared to the earlier quarter. This decrease was the result of lower rates on new issues during the last twelve months and early extinguishments of higher cost FHLB advances.

 

The $61 million increase in noninterest income was primarily driven by higher mortgage banking income, FDIC loss share income and investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions, which increased $44 million, $24 million and $16 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a $34 million decline in other income primarily due to the $26 million pre-tax loss on the sale of American Coastal.

 

Excluding loans acquired from the FDIC, the provision for credit losses was $97 million, compared to $83 million in the earlier quarter, primarily due to a reserve release in the earlier quarter. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2015, excluding loans acquired from the FDIC, totaled $98 million, down $19 million compared to the earlier quarter.

 

Noninterest expense was $1.7 billion for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $119 million compared to the earlier quarter. This increase was driven by a $172 million loss on early extinguishment of debt and a $55 million increase in personnel expense, partially offset by decreases of $77 million in other expense and $43 million in loan-related expense that were primarily due to charges related to FHA-insured mortgage loans in the earlier quarter.

 

The provision for income taxes was $80 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $216 million for the earlier quarter. This produced an effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 of 13.8%, compared to 31.2% for the earlier quarter. The current quarter included the tax benefit of $107 million previously discussed and the earlier quarter included a $14 million tax provision related to the IRS’s change in stance related to an income tax position that was under examination.

 

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation, which provided $1.6 billion in deposits and $1.2 billion in loans as of the acquisition date.

 

Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for additional information with respect to BB&T’s recent accomplishments and significant challenges.

Analysis Of Results Of Operations

 

Net Interest Income and NIM

 

Second Quarter 2015 compared to Second Quarter 2014

 

Net interest income on a FTE basis was $1.3 billion for the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of 2.2% compared to the same period in 2014. The change in taxable-equivalent net interest income includes a $47 million decrease in interest income, driven by lower yields on new loans and the continued run-off of loans acquired from the FDIC, and a $17 million decrease in interest expense. Net interest margin was 3.27%, compared to 3.43% for the earlier quarter.

 

Average earning assets increased $4.3 billion, or 2.7%, while average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $2.1 billion, or 1.8%. The annualized yield on the total loan portfolio for the second quarter was 4.18%, a decrease of 27 basis points compared to the earlier quarter, which primarily reflects lower yields on new loans and continued runoff of higher yielding loans acquired from the FDIC. The annualized fully taxable-equivalent yield on the average securities portfolio for the second quarter was 2.41%, two basis points lower than the earlier period.

 

The average annualized cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.24%, a decline of two basis points compared to the earlier quarter. The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt was 2.14%, a decrease of 24 basis points compared to the earlier quarter. This decrease was the result of lower rates on new issues during the last twelve months and early extinguishments of higher cost FHLB advances.

 

Six Months of 2015 compared to Six Months of 2014

 

Net interest income on a FTE basis was $2.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $66 million compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in net interest income reflects a $101 million decrease in interest income, which was partially offset by a $35 million decline in funding costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, average earning assets increased $4.6 billion compared to the same period of 2014, while average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $1.4 billion. The NIM was 3.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 3.47% for the same period of 2014. The 17 basis point decrease in NIM was due to lower yields on new earning assets and runoff of assets acquired from the FDIC, partially offset by lower funding costs.

 

The annualized FTE yield on the average securities portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 2.44%, a decrease of two basis points compared to the annualized yield earned during the same period of 2014.

 

The annualized FTE yield for the total loan portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 4.20%, compared to 4.51% in the corresponding period of 2014. The decrease in the FTE yield on the total loan portfolio was primarily due to lower yields on new loans due to the low interest-rate environment and the runoff of loans acquired from the FDIC.

 

The average annualized cost of interest-bearing deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 0.25%, compared to 0.26% for the same period in the prior year, primarily reflecting improvements in mix.

 

The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 2.16%, compared to 2.44% for the same period in 2014. This decrease was the result of lower rates on new issues during the last twelve months and early extinguishments of higher cost FHLB advances.

 

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

Provision for Credit Losses

 

Second Quarter 2015 compared to Second Quarter 2014

 

The provision for credit losses totaled $97 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $74 million for the same period of the prior year. This change was primarily driven by a $24 million increase in the provision for retail other lending subsidiaries, which was the result of higher net charge-offs and an increase in delinquent loan balances compared to the earlier period.

 

Net charge-offs were $98 million for the second quarter of 2015 and $121 million for the second quarter of 2014. Net charge-offs were 0.33% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 0.41% of average loans and leases for the same period in 2014.

 

Six Months of 2015 compared to Six Months of 2014

 

The provision for credit losses totaled $196 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $134 million for the same period of 2014. The increase was primarily driven by the commercial and industrial portfolio, which had $38 million of higher provision expense due to stabilization in the rate of improvement in credit trends as well as risk expectations related to the energy sector. The increase was also driven by the provision related to the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which increased $18 million due to higher commitment balances and credit trend stabilization.

 

Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $199 million, compared to $280 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was driven by reductions for the commercial and industrial, residential mortgage-nonguaranteed and direct retail lending portfolios of $29 million, $23 million and $13 million, respectively. Net charge-offs were 0.33% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 0.49% of average loans and leases for the same period in 2014.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Second Quarter 2015 compared to Second Quarter 2014

 

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2015 increased $61 million, or 6.4%, compared to the earlier quarter. This increase was primarily driven by $44 million of higher mortgage banking income, which reflects higher net mortgage servicing rights income, higher gains on sales of loans and improvement in commercial mortgage fee income due to higher loan volume. In addition, FDIC loss share income improved $24 million primarily due to lower negative accretion related to loans, and investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions was $16 million higher primarily due to increased capital markets activity and investment commissions. Operating lease income increased $10 million primarily due to higher volumes. These increases were partially offset by a $34 million decrease in other income, which was primarily driven by the loss on sale of American Coastal.

 

The remaining categories of noninterest income totaled $757 million for the current quarter, compared to $756 million for the second quarter of 2014.

 

Six Months of 2015 compared to Six Months of 2014

 

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $2.0 billion, compared to $1.9 billion for the same period in 2014, an increase of $131 million. This change was primarily driven by higher mortgage banking income, FDIC loss share income, investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions and operating lease income, partially offset by a reduction in other income.

 

Mortgage banking income totaled $240 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $160 million for the same period of the prior year. This $80 million increase reflects a higher volume of residential and commercial mortgage loan sales and higher net mortgage servicing income.

 

FDIC loss share income, net was $29 million better than the prior year, primarily due to lower accretion on acquired loans in the current period as well as the impact of the offset to the provision for loans acquired from the FDIC.

 

52

Investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions totaled $202 million for the first six months of 2015, up $22 million compared to the first six months of 2014, primarily due to higher volume. Operating lease income was $59 million for the first six months of 2015, which is an increase of $17 million primarily due to volume.

 

Other income totaled $141 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $175 million for the comparable prior year period. This decline was primarily due to a $26 million pre-tax loss on the sale of American Coastal during the current period.

 

The remaining categories of noninterest income totaled $1.5 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2015, up $17 million compared with the same period of 2014.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Second Quarter 2015 compared to Second Quarter 2014

 

Noninterest expense totaled $1.7 billion for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $119 million compared to the same period of 2014. The increase was primarily driven by a $172 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, higher personnel expense and higher merger-related and restructuring charges, partially offset by a decrease in loan-related expense.

 

Personnel expense totaled $864 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $55 million compared to the second quarter of 2015. The increase in personnel expense reflects a $19 million increase in qualified pension plan expense that was driven by higher amortization of net actuarial losses and higher service cost. Personnel expense was also higher due to a $14 million increase in production-related incentives due to strong performance at fee income-generating businesses and a $12 million increase in employee health costs. The annual merit increases effective April 1 were largely offset by approximately 1,000 fewer full-time equivalent employees.

 

Merger-related and restructuring charges, net were $25 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $13 million for the earlier quarter. This increase is primarily due to activity related to The Bank of Kentucky, Susquehanna Bancshares and AmRisc/American Coastal.

 

Other expense and loan-related expense decreased $77 million and $43 million, respectively, primarily due to charges recognized in the earlier period related to FHA-insured loan originations.

 

Other categories of noninterest expense totaled $338 million for the current quarter, flat compared to the same period of 2014.

 

Six Months of 2015 compared to Six Months of 2014

 

Noninterest expenses totaled $3.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $156 million, or 5.3%, over the same period of the prior year. Primary drivers for the increase in noninterest expense include the loss on early extinguishment of debt, higher personnel expense and higher merger-related and restructuring charges, partially offset by significant declines in loan-related expense and other expense and smaller declines in other categories.

 

Personnel expense was $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $103 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in personnel expense reflects a $37 million increase in qualified pension plan expense that was driven by higher amortization of net actuarial losses and higher service cost. Personnel expense was also higher due to a $40 million increase in production-related incentives due to strong performance at fee income-generating businesses and a $26 million increase in employee health costs.

 

Merger-related and restructuring charges totaled $38 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $17 million from the prior year period. This increase is primarily due to activity related to The Bank of Kentucky, Susquehanna Bancshares and AmRisc/American Coastal.

 

Loan-related expense totaled $75 million for the first six months of 2015, a decrease of $56 million compared to the first six months of 2014. This improvement is primarily due to the $33 million FHA-insured loan indemnification reserve recorded during the earlier period as well as lower volume in the current period.

 

53

Other expense totaled $436 million for the first six months of 2015, compared to $498 million for the same period of 2014. This decline is primarily due to an $88 million charge recognized in the earlier period related to FHA-insured loan originations, partially offset by $13 million of higher depreciation on property held for operating leases and other smaller increases.

 

Other categories of noninterest expense totaled $660 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $678 million for the same period of 2014.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Second Quarter 2015 compared to Second Quarter 2014

 

The provision for income taxes was $80 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $216 million for the earlier quarter. This produced an effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 of 13.8%, compared to 31.2% for the earlier quarter. The current quarter included the tax benefit of $107 million discussed previously, and the earlier quarter included a $14 million tax provision related to the IRS’s change in stance related to an income tax position that was under examination.

 

Six Months of 2015 compared to Six Months of 2014

 

The provision for income taxes was $321 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $472 million for the same period of the prior year. BB&T’s effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 23.4%, compared to 31.0% for the same period of the prior year. The current period includes the tax benefit of $107 million and the earlier period includes the tax provision of $14 million discussed above.

Second Quarter 2015 compared to Second Quarter 2014

 

Community Banking

 

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

 

Community Banking net income was $234 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $15 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income increased $8 million, primarily driven by deposit growth and commercial real estate and direct retail loan growth, partially offset by lower funding spreads on deposits and lower interest rates on new commercial loans. Noninterest income decreased $10 million, primarily due to lower service charges on deposits and letter of credit fees. Intersegment referral fee income increased $10 million driven by higher loan referrals to the Residential Mortgage Banking segment. The allocated provision for credit losses decreased $24 million as the result of lower commercial and direct retail net charge-offs.

 

Residential Mortgage Banking

 

Residential Mortgage Banking retains and services mortgage loans originated by BB&T as well as those purchased from various correspondent originators. Mortgage loan products include fixed and adjustable-rate government guaranteed and conventional loans for the purpose of constructing, purchasing or refinancing residential properties. Substantially all of the properties are owner-occupied.

 

Residential Mortgage Banking net income was $72 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to a net loss of $21 million in the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income decreased $9 million, primarily the result of lower average loan balances due to the current strategy of selling substantially all conforming mortgage loan production as well as lower interest rates on new loans. Noninterest income increased $33 million driven by an increase in net MSR valuation adjustments and an increase in gains on mortgage loan production and sales driven by higher mortgage loan originations and margins. The improvement in gain on sale margins was primarily the result of improved pricing. Noninterest expense decreased $130 million compared to the prior quarter, which primarily reflects the impact of prior year adjustments totaling $118 million relating to FHA-insured loan exposures.

 

Dealer Financial Services

 

Dealer Financial Services primarily originates loans to consumers for the purchase of automobiles. These loans are originated on an indirect basis through approved franchised and independent automobile dealers throughout BB&T’s market area through BB&T Dealer Finance, and on a national basis through Regional Acceptance Corporation. Dealer Financial Services also originates loans for the purchase of recreational and marine vehicles and, in conjunction with the Community Bank, provides financing and servicing to dealers for their inventories.

 

Dealer Financial Services net income was $49 million for the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of $14 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income increased $10 million, primarily driven by growth in the Regional Acceptance loan portfolio and the inclusion of dealer floor plan loans in the segment in the current quarter, partially offset by lower interest rates on new loans. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $17 million, primarily due to higher net charge-offs and an increase in loss severity related to the nonprime automobile loan portfolio. Noninterest expense increased $13 million driven by higher personnel, professional services and other expenses.

 

Specialized Lending

 

Specialized Lending consists of businesses that provide specialty finance alternatives to commercial and consumer clients including: commercial finance, mortgage warehouse lending, tax-exempt financing for local governments and special-purpose districts, equipment leasing, full-service commercial mortgage banking, commercial and retail insurance premium finance, and dealer-based financing of equipment for consumers and small businesses.

 

Specialized Lending net income was $70 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $10 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income increased $2 million driven by strong growth in mortgage warehouse loans, small ticket consumer loans and commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by lower interest rates on new loans. Noninterest income increased $23 million driven by higher commercial mortgage and operating lease income. The allocated provision for credit losses decreased $6 million primarily due to an improvement in credit trends in the commercial finance loan portfolio. Noninterest expense increased $15 million, primarily due to higher personnel expense, depreciation of property under operating leases and loan processing expense.

Insurance Services

 

BB&T’s insurance agency / brokerage network is the fifth largest in the United States and sixth largest in the world. Insurance Services provides property and casualty, life and health insurance to business and individual clients. It also provides small business and corporate products, such as workers compensation and professional liability, as well as surety coverage and title insurance.

 

During the second quarter of 2015, BB&T completed its sale of American Coastal and increased its ownership interest in AmRisc, LP, a managing general underwriter for commercial property risks. The sale of American Coastal eliminates BB&T's exposure to potential underwriting losses in the future.

 

Insurance Services net income was $53 million in the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of $4 million compared to the earlier quarter. Insurance Service’s noninterest income increased $1 million, which primarily reflects higher new and renewal commercial property and casualty insurance business and higher performance-based commissions, partially offset by lower direct commercial property and casualty insurance premiums due to the previously discussed sale of American Coastal. Noninterest expense increased $2 million driven by higher employee insurance and pension expense and merger-related charges, partially offset by lower incentives and operating charge-offs and a reduction in certain actuarially determined loss reserves.

 

Financial Services

 

Financial Services provides personal trust administration, estate planning, investment counseling, wealth management, asset management, employee benefits services, corporate banking and corporate trust services to individuals, corporations, institutions, foundations and government entities. In addition, Financial Services offers clients investment alternatives, including discount brokerage services, equities, fixed-rate and variable-rate annuities, mutual funds and governmental and municipal bonds through BB&T Investment Services, Inc. The segment also includes BB&T Securities, a full-service brokerage and investment banking firm, the Corporate Banking Division, which originates and services large corporate relationships, syndicated lending relationships and client derivatives, and BB&T Capital Partners, which manages the company’s private equity investments.

 

Financial Services net income was $68 million in the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $1 million compared to the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income increased $18 million driven by Corporate Banking and BB&T Wealth loan and deposit growth, partially offset by lower interest rates on new loans and lower funding spreads on deposits. Noninterest income increased $20 million due to higher capital market fees, investment commissions and brokerage fees and commercial loan fees. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $20 million as the result of portfolio mix and risk expectations related to the oil and energy sector. Noninterest expense increased $15 million compared to the earlier quarter, primarily driven by higher incentive and employee benefit expense.

 

Other, Treasury & Corporate

 

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

 

In the second quarter of 2015, Other, Treasury & Corporate generated a net loss of $45 million, compared to net income of $32 million in the earlier quarter. Segment net interest income decreased $58 million driven by lower acquired from FDIC loan balances and credit spreads, duration adjustments on securities acquired from the FDIC, and lower funding spreads on interest-bearing deposits. Noninterest income decreased $6 million, primarily due to the loss on the previously mentioned sale of American Coastal, partially offset by better FDIC loss share income. The allocated provision for credit losses was $5 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to a benefit of $7 million in the earlier quarter, which primarily reflects changes in provision expense related to loans acquired from the FDIC and an increase in provision expense related to the commercial finance loan portfolio shared by other segments. Noninterest expense increased $203 million, primarily due to the previously mentioned $172 million loss on early extinguishment of FLHB advances in the current quarter and higher personnel expense and merger-related charges. Intersegment referral fee expenses decreased $12 million driven by higher loan referrals to the Residential Mortgage Banking segment shared by other segments. Allocated corporate expense decreased by $19 million compared to the earlier quarter.

Six Months of 2015 compared to Six Months of 2014

 

Community Banking

 

Community Banking net income was $444 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $10 million compared to the same period of the prior year. Segment net interest income decreased $5 million, primarily driven by lower funding spreads on deposits and loans, partially offset by growth in deposits and growth in commercial real estate and direct retail loans. Noninterest income decreased $19 million, primarily due to lower service charges on deposits, international factoring commissions and letter of credit fees. Intersegment referral fee income increased $13 million driven by higher loan referrals to the Residential Mortgage Banking segment. The allocated provision for credit losses decreased $27 million as a result of lower commercial and retail loan net charge-offs, partially offset by a moderation in the improvement in loss severity trends in the commercial loan portfolio. Noninterest expense decreased $10 million driven by lower salary, regulatory, legal and restructuring expense, partially offset by higher pension expense and franchise taxes. Allocated corporate expense increased $13 million driven by internal business initiatives.

 

Residential Mortgage Banking

 

Residential Mortgage Banking net income was $136 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $94 million compared to the same period of the prior year. Segment net interest income decreased $27 million, primarily the result of lower interest rates on new loans and lower balances reflecting the current strategy of selling substantially all conforming mortgage loan production. Noninterest income increased $57 million, driven by higher gains on residential mortgage loan production and sales and an increase in net MSR valuation adjustments. The allocated provision for credit losses reflected a benefit of $9 million in the first half of 2015, compared to a benefit of $21 million in the earlier period, primarily due to a moderation in the rate of improvement in loss severity trends, partially offset by lower net charge-offs. Noninterest expense decreased $136 million, which primarily reflects the impact of adjustments totaling $118 million relating to the previously disclosed FHA-insured loan exposures in the earlier period. The decrease in noninterest expense was also partially attributable to lower salary and other loan processing expense.

 

Dealer Financial Services

 

Dealer Financial Services net income was $94 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $4 million compared to the same period of the prior year. Segment net interest income increased $21 million, primarily driven by growth in the Dealer Finance and Regional Acceptance loan portfolios and the inclusion of dealer floor plan loans in the segment during the current period. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $5 million, primarily due to higher expectations of loss severity related to the nonprime automobile loan portfolio, partially offset by lower net charge-offs and loan growth adjustments. Noninterest expense increased $16 million driven by higher personnel, professional services, loan processing and other expenses.

 

Specialized Lending

 

Specialized Lending net income was $127 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $8 million compared to the same period of the prior year. Segment net interest income increased $3 million driven by strong growth in mortgage warehouse loans, small ticket consumer loans and commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by lower interest rates on new loans. Noninterest income increased $38 million driven by higher commercial mortgage and operating lease income. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $4 million due to higher net charge-offs. Noninterest expense increased $23 million, primarily due to higher personnel expense, depreciation of property under operating leases and operating charge-offs.

 

Insurance Services

 

Insurance Services net income was $125 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $7 million compared to the same period of the prior year. Insurance Service’s noninterest income increased $12 million, which primarily reflects higher new and renewal commercial property and casualty insurance business, partially offset by lower direct commercial property and casualty insurance premiums due to the previously discussed sale of American Coastal. Noninterest expense decreased $1 million driven by lower salary expense, operating charge-offs and a reduction in certain actuarially determined loss reserves, partially offset by higher incentive, employee insurance and pension expense and merger-related charges. Allocated corporate expenses increased $14 million primarily due to the centralization of certain corporate support functions during mid-2014.

 

57

Financial Services

 

Financial Services net income was $134 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, which was flat compared to the same period of the prior year. Segment net interest income increased $34 million driven by Corporate Banking and BB&T Wealth loan and deposit growth, partially offset by lower interest rates on new loans and lower funding spreads on deposits. Noninterest income increased $41 million as the result of higher capital market fees, investment commissions and brokerage fees, trust income, commercial unused commitment fees and income from SBIC private equity investments. The allocated provision for credit losses increased $44 million as the result of Corporate Banking loan portfolio mix and risk expectations related to the oil and energy sector. Noninterest expense increased $30 million compared to the earlier period, driven by higher salary, incentive and pension expense.

 

Other, Treasury & Corporate

 

Other, Treasury & Corporate generated a net loss of $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to net income of $91 in the same period of the prior year. Segment net interest income decreased $92 million driven by lower acquired from FDIC loan balances, lower funding spreads and a decrease in securities acquired from the FDIC. Noninterest income increased $3 million, primarily due to improved FDIC loss share income, partially offset by the loss on the previously discussed sale of American Coastal. The allocated provision for credit losses reflected a benefit of $1 million in the first half of 2015, compared to a benefit of $25 million in the earlier period, primarily due to a release in the RUFC in the earlier period driven by improvements related to the mix of unfunded lending exposures. Noninterest expense increased $234 million, primarily due to higher salary, employee insurance, and pension expense, merger-related charges, and the previously discussed $172 million loss on early extinguishment of FLHB advances in the current period. Intersegment referral fee expenses increased $15 million driven by higher mortgage loan, insurance and capital market referrals shared by other segments. Allocated corporate expense decreased by $38 million compared to the earlier period as the result of higher expense allocations to the other segments related to internal business initiatives and the continued centralization of certain support functions into the respective corporate centers.

 

Analysis of Financial Condition

 

Investment Activities

 

The total securities portfolio was $40.6 billion at June 30, 2015, compared to $41.1 billion at December 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, the securities portfolio included $21.2 billion of AFS securities (at fair value) and $19.4 billion of HTM securities (at amortized cost).

 

The effective duration of the securities portfolio was 4.0 years at June 30, 2015, compared to 3.9 years at December 31, 2014. The duration of the securities portfolio excludes equity securities, auction rate securities and certain non-agency residential MBS that were acquired in the Colonial acquisition.

 

See Note 3 “Securities” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures related to BB&T’s evaluation of securities for OTTI.

 

Lending Activities

 

Loans HFI totaled $122.3 billion at June 30, 2015, up $2.4 billion compared to December 31, 2014. The increase in loans HFI included the impact of the acquisition of The Bank of Kentucky, which added $1.2 billion in loans. Excluding this acquisition, loans grew $1.2 billion, primarily the result of growth in commercial and industrial loans of $1.6 billion, other lending subsidiaries loans of $605 million and direct retail lending loans of $432 million. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 billion decline in residential mortgage loan balances reflecting the continuing strategy of selling all conforming loan production.

          (Dollars in millions)  
  Commercial and industrial $  42,541    $  41,448    $  40,383    $  39,906    $  39,397   
  CRE-income producing properties    10,730       10,680       10,681       10,596       10,382   
  CRE-construction and development    2,767       2,734       2,772       2,670       2,566   
  Direct retail lending    8,449       8,191       8,085       7,912       7,666   
  Sales finance    10,517       10,498       10,247       10,313       10,028   
  Revolving credit    2,365       2,385       2,427       2,396       2,362   
  Residential mortgage    29,862       30,427       31,046       32,000       32,421   
  Other lending subsidiaries    11,701       11,318       11,351       11,234       10,553   
  Acquired from FDIC    1,055       1,156       1,309       1,537       1,739   
    Total average loans and leases HFI $  119,987    $  118,837    $  118,301    $  118,564    $  117,114   

 

Average loans HFI for the second quarter of 2015 were $120.0 billion, up $1.2 billion compared to the first quarter of 2015. The increase in average loans held for investment was primarily due to an increase of $1.1 billion in average commercial and industrial loans, a $383 million increase in average other lending subsidiaries loans and a $258 million increase in average direct retail lending loans. These increases were partially offset by a $565 million decline in average residential mortgage loans and continued run-off of loans acquired from the FDIC. The acquisition of The Bank of Kentucky contributed approximately $146 million of the increase in average loans for the quarter.

 

Average commercial and industrial loans increased an annualized 10.6%, which reflects growth from large corporate clients and increased mortgage warehouse lending. Average other lending subsidiaries loans were up an annualized 13.6% primarily due to seasonal activity. Average direct retail lending loans were up an annualized 12.6% primarily due to an increase in home equity line balances.

 

The decrease of $565 million, or 7.4% annualized, in the residential mortgage portfolio reflects the continued strategy to sell all conforming residential mortgage loan production.

 

Asset Quality

 

Asset quality continued to improve during the second quarter of 2015. NPAs, which include foreclosed real estate, repossessions, NPLs and nonperforming TDRs, totaled $729 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $782 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease in NPAs was primarily driven by a decline in NPLs of $44 million. NPAs as a percentage of loans and leases HFI plus foreclosed property were 0.60% at June 30, 2015, compared with 0.65% at December 31, 2014.

(2) Includes charge-offs and losses recorded upon sale of $12 million and $20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

The following tables summarize asset quality information for the past five years. As more fully described below, this information has been adjusted to exclude certain components:

 

·BB&T has recorded certain amounts related to government guaranteed GNMA mortgage loans that BB&T has the option, but not the obligation, to repurchase and has effectively regained control. These amounts are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets but have been excluded from the asset quality disclosures, as management believes they result in distortion of the reported metrics. The amount of government guaranteed GNMA mortgage loans that have been excluded are noted in the footnotes to Table 5.

 

·In addition, BB&T has concluded that the inclusion of loans acquired from the FDIC in “Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of total loans and leases” may result in significant distortion to this ratio. The inclusion of these loans could result in a lack of comparability across quarters or years, and could negatively impact comparability with other portfolios that were not impacted by acquisition accounting. BB&T believes that the presentation of this asset quality measure excluding loans acquired from the FDIC provides additional perspective into underlying trends related to the quality of its loan portfolio. Accordingly, the asset quality measures in Table 6 present asset quality information on a consolidated basis as well as “Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of total loans and leases” excluding loans acquired from the FDIC.

(2)These asset quality ratios have been adjusted to remove the impact of assets acquired from the FDIC. Appropriate adjustments to the numerator and denominator have been reflected in the calculation of these ratios. Management believes the inclusion of assets acquired from the FDIC in certain asset quality ratios that include nonperforming assets, past due loans or net charge-offs in the numerator or denominator results in distortion of these ratios and they may not be comparable to other periods presented or to other portfolios that were not impacted by loss share accounting.

 

Problem loans include loans on nonaccrual status or loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing as disclosed in Table 5. In addition, for the commercial portfolio segment, loans that are rated special mention or substandard performing are closely monitored by management as potential problem loans. Refer to Note 4 “Loans and ACL” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures related to these potential problem loans.

Certain residential mortgage loans have an initial period where the borrower is only required to pay the periodic interest. After the interest-only period, the loan will require the payment of both interest and principal over the remaining term. At June 30, 2015, approximately 4.2% of the outstanding balances of residential mortgage loans were in the interest-only phase, compared to 5.3% at December 31, 2014. Approximately 89.3% of the interest-only balances will begin amortizing within the next three years. Approximately 2.8% of interest-only loans are 30 days or more past due and still accruing and 1.2% are on nonaccrual status.

 

Home equity lines, which are a component of the direct retail portfolio, generally require interest-only payments during the first 15 years after origination. After this initial period, the outstanding balance begins amortizing and requires the payment of both interest and principal. At June 30, 2015, approximately 68.0% of the outstanding balances of home equity lines were in the interest-only phase. Approximately 8.7% of these balances will begin amortizing within the next three years. The delinquency rate of interest-only lines is similar to amortizing lines.

 

TDRs occur when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near-term and a concession has been granted to the borrower. As a result, BB&T will work with the borrower to prevent further difficulties and ultimately improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan. To facilitate this process, a concessionary modification that would not otherwise be considered may be granted, resulting in classification of the loan as a TDR. Refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for additional policy information regarding TDRs.

 

Performing TDRs totaled $1.0 billion at June 30, 2015, a decrease of $23 million compared to December 31, 2014. The following table provides a summary of performing TDR activity:

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The ACL, which consists of the ALLL and the RUFC, totaled $1.5 billion at June 30, 2015, essentially flat compared to December 31, 2014. The ALLL amounted to 1.19% of loans and leases held for investment at June 30, 2015, compared to 1.23% at December 31, 2014. The decrease in the ALLL as a percentage of loans and leases reflects continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio as well as the impact of the acquisition of The Bank of Kentucky, as no allowance was recorded in connection with the purchase accounting. The ratio of the ALLL to nonperforming loans and leases held for investment was 2.55 times at June 30, 2015, compared to 2.39 times at December 31, 2014.

 

Net charge-offs totaled $98 million for the second quarter of 2015 and amounted to 0.33% of average loans and leases, compared to $121 million, or 0.41% of average loans and leases in the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net charge-offs were $199 million and amounted to 0.33% of average loans and leases compared to $280 million, or 0.49% of average loans and leases in the same period of 2014.

 

Charge-offs related to loans acquired from the FDIC represent realized losses in certain acquired loan pools that exceed the amounts originally estimated at the acquisition date. This impairment was provided for in prior quarters and therefore the charge-offs have no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

Refer to Note 4 “Loans and ACL” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional disclosures.

 

The following table presents an allocation of the ALLL at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. This allocation of the ALLL is calculated on an approximate basis and is not necessarily indicative of future losses or allocations. The entire amount of the allowance is available to absorb losses occurring in any category of loans and leases.

FDIC Loss Share Receivable and Assets Acquired from the FDIC

 

In connection with the Colonial acquisition, Branch Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC that outline the terms and conditions under which the FDIC will reimburse Branch Bank for a portion of the losses incurred on certain loans, OREO, investment securities and other assets. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for additional information regarding the loss sharing agreements and a summary of the accounting treatment for related assets and liabilities. The following table presents the carrying amount of assets by loss share agreement:

  UPB of loans and leases   $  617    $  815    $  1,432    $  836    $  888    $  1,724

As of October 1, 2014, the loss provisions of the commercial loss sharing agreement expired; however, gains on the disposition of assets subject to this agreement will be shared with the FDIC through September 30, 2017. Any gains realized after September 30, 2017 would not be shared with the FDIC. Assets subject to the single family loss sharing agreement are indemnified through August 31, 2019.

 

The gain/loss sharing coverage related to the acquired AFS securities is based on a contractually-specified value of the securities as of the date of the commercial loss sharing agreement, adjusted to reflect subsequent pay-downs, redemptions or maturities on the underlying securities. The contractually-specified value of these securities was approximately $554 million and $626 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. During the period of gain sharing (October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2017), any decline in the fair value of the acquired AFS securities down to the contractually-specified value would reduce BB&T’s liability to the FDIC at the applicable loss sharing percentage. BB&T is not indemnified for declines in the fair value of the acquired securities below the contractually-specified amount.

 

The following table provides information related to the carrying amounts and fair values of the components of the FDIC loss share receivable (payable):

 

Table 12
FDIC Loss Share Receivable (Payable)
                                 
          June 30, 2015   December 31, 2014  
  Attributable to:   Carrying Amount   Fair Value   Carrying Amount   Fair Value  
                                 
          (Dollars in millions)  
  Loans   $  383    $  59    $  534    $  123   
  Securities      (554)      (530)      (565)      (535)  
  Aggregate loss calculation      (141)      (164)      (132)      (161)  
    Total   $  (312)   $  (635)   $  (163)   $  (573)  

 

The decrease in the carrying amount of the FDIC loss share receivable attributable to loans acquired from the FDIC was due to the receipt of cash from the FDIC, negative accretion due to credit loss improvement and the offset to the provision for loans acquired from the FDIC, which was a benefit for the current year. The change in the carrying amount attributable to the aggregate loss calculation is primarily due to accretion of the expected payment. The fair values are based upon a discounted cash flow methodology that is consistent with the acquisition date methodology. The fair value attributable to acquired loans and the aggregate loss calculation changes over time due to the receipt of cash from the FDIC, updated credit loss assumptions and the passage of time. The fair value attributable to securities acquired from the FDIC is based upon the timing and amount that would be payable to the FDIC should the securities settle at the current fair value at the conclusion of the gain sharing period.

 

The cumulative amount recognized through earnings related to securities acquired from the FDIC resulted in a liability of $257 million as of June 30, 2015. Securities acquired from the FDIC are classified as AFS and carried at fair market value, and the changes in unrealized gains/losses are offset by the applicable loss share percentage in AOCI, which resulted in an additional pre-tax liability of $297 million as of June 30, 2015. BB&T would only owe these amounts to the FDIC if BB&T were to sell these securities prior to October 1, 2017. BB&T does not currently intend to dispose of the acquired securities.

 

Following the conclusion of the 10 year loss share period in 2019, should actual aggregate losses, excluding securities, be less than an amount determined in accordance with these agreements, BB&T will pay the FDIC a portion of the difference. As of June 30, 2015, BB&T projects that in 2019 it would owe the FDIC approximately $179 million under the aggregate loss calculation. This liability is expensed over time and BB&T has recognized total expense of approximately $141 million through June 30, 2015.

 

Deposits

 

Deposits totaled $132.8 billion at June 30, 2015, an increase of $3.7 billion from December 31, 2014. The acquisition of The Bank of Kentucky added $1.6 billion in deposits. Excluding this acquisition, noninterest-bearing deposits increased $3.0 billion, money market and savings balances increased $4.3 billion and time deposit balances declined $5.2 billion.

The following table presents the composition of average deposits for the last five quarters:
                                   
  Table 13  
  Composition of Average Deposits  
                                   
      For the Three Months Ended

      (Dollars in millions)  
  Noninterest-bearing deposits $  41,502    $  39,701    $  39,130    $  38,103    $  36,634   
  Interest checking    20,950       20,623       19,308       18,588       18,406   
  Money market and savings    53,852       51,644       51,176       49,974       48,965   
  Time deposits    14,800       17,000       20,041       23,304       25,010   
  Foreign office deposits - interest-bearing    764       563       660       639       584   
    Total average deposits $  131,868    $  129,531    $  130,315    $  130,608    $  129,599   

 

Average deposits for the second quarter were $131.9 billion, an increase of $2.3 billion or 7.2% annualized compared to the prior quarter. The change in average deposits reflects improved mix, with noninterest-bearing deposits up $1.8 billion, or 18.2% annualized, while interest-bearing balances were up $536 million, or 2.4% annualized. The first quarter acquisition of 41 branches in Texas had an estimated $387 million favorable impact on average noninterest-bearing deposits and a $1.3 billion impact on average interest-bearing deposits, while the second quarter acquisition of The Bank of Kentucky had an estimated $190 million favorable impact on average deposits.

 

Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 31.5% of total average deposits for the second quarter, compared to 30.6% for the prior quarter and 28.3% a year ago.

 

The growth in average noninterest-bearing deposits includes an increase in average commercial accounts totaling $1.6 billion and an increase in average consumer accounts totaling $503 million, partially offset by a decrease in average public funds accounts totaling $369 million.

 

Excluding the Texas branch acquisition and The Bank of Kentucky acquisition, average noninterest bearing deposits increased $1.4 billion, average money market and savings increased $1.4 billion and average time deposits declined $2.4 billion.

 

The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.24% for the second quarter, down one basis point compared to the prior quarter.

 

Borrowings

 

At June 30, 2015, short-term borrowings totaled $3.9 billion, an increase of $166 million compared to December 31, 2014. Long-term debt totaled $23.3 billion at June 30, 2015, a decrease of $41 million from the balance at December 31, 2014. During the second quarter of 2015, higher cost FHLB advances totaling $931 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.84% were extinguished, and $1.0 billion of medium term senior notes with a stated interest rate of 2.625% were issued.

 

Shareholders’ Equity

 

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2015 was $25.1 billion, an increase of $755 million compared to December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily driven by net income of $1.0 billion and net stock issuances of $375 million (including $322 million for the acquisition of The Bank of Kentucky), partially offset by common and preferred dividends totaling $442 million and a reduction of $222 million for the purchase of additional ownership interest in AmRisc, LP. BB&T’s book value per common share at June 30, 2015 was $30.64, compared to $30.09 at December 31, 2014.

 

Merger-Related and Restructuring Activities

 

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, merger-related and restructuring accruals totaled $38 million and $31 million, respectively. Merger-related and restructuring accruals are re-evaluated periodically and adjusted as necessary. The remaining accruals at June 30, 2015 are expected to be utilized within one year, unless they relate to specific contracts that expire later.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T are in accordance with GAAP and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. BB&T’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations and related disclosures. The more critical accounting and reporting policies include accounting for the ACL, determining fair value of financial instruments, intangible assets, costs and benefit obligations associated with pension and postretirement benefit plans, and income taxes. Understanding BB&T’s accounting policies is fundamental to understanding the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, the critical accounting policies are discussed in detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in detail in Note 1 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies during 2015. Additional disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” included herein.

 

Risk Management

 

BB&T has a strong and consistent risk culture, based on established risk values, which promotes predictable and consistent performance within an environment of open communication and effective challenge. The strong culture influences all associates in the organization daily and helps them evaluate whether risks are acceptable or unacceptable while making decisions that balance quality, profitability and growth appropriately. BB&T’s effective risk management framework establishes an environment which enables it to achieve superior performance relative to peers, ensures that BB&T is viewed among the safest of banks and assures the operational freedom to act on opportunities.

 

BB&T ensures that there is an appropriate return for the amount of risk taken, and that the expected return is in line with its strategic objectives and business plan. Risk-taking activities are evaluated and prioritized to identify those that present attractive risk-adjusted returns while preserving asset value. BB&T only undertakes risks that are understood and can be managed effectively. By managing risk well, BB&T ensures sufficient capital is available to maintain and grow core business operations in a safe and sound manner.

 

Regardless of financial gain or loss to the Company, associates are held accountable if they do not follow the established risk management policies and procedures. Compensation decisions take into account an associate’s adherence to and successful implementation of BB&T’s risk values. The compensation structure supports the Company’s core values and sound risk management practices in an effort to promote judicious risk-taking behavior.

 

BB&T’s risk culture encourages transparency and open dialogue between all levels in the performance of organizational functions, such as the development, marketing and implementation of a product or service.

 

The principal types of inherent risk include compliance, credit, liquidity, market, operational, reputation and strategic risks. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for disclosures related to each of these risks under the section titled “Risk Management.”

 

Market Risk Management

 

The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving BB&T’s strategic financial objectives. As a financial institution, BB&T’s most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also includes product liquidity risk, price risk and volatility risk in BB&T’s BUs. The primary objectives of market risk management are to minimize any adverse effect that changes in market risk factors may have on net interest income, net income and capital and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets recorded at fair value. At BB&T, market risk management also includes the enterprise-wide IPV function.

Interest Rate Market Risk (Other than Trading)

 

BB&T actively manages market risk associated with asset and liability portfolios with a focus on the strategic pricing of asset and liability accounts and management of appropriate maturity mixes of assets and liabilities. The goal of these activities is the development of appropriate maturity and repricing opportunities in BB&T’s portfolios of assets and liabilities that will produce reasonably consistent net interest income during periods of changing interest rates. These portfolios are analyzed for proper fixed-rate and variable-rate mixes under various interest rate scenarios.

 

The asset/liability management process is designed to achieve relatively stable NIM and assure liquidity by coordinating the volumes, maturities or repricing opportunities of earning assets, deposits and borrowed funds. Among other things, this process gives consideration to prepayment trends related to securities, loans and leases and certain deposits that have no stated maturity. Prepayment assumptions are developed using a combination of market data and internal historical prepayment experience for residential mortgage-related loans and securities, and internal historical prepayment experience for client deposits with no stated maturity and loans that are not residential mortgage related. These assumptions are subject to monthly back-testing, and are adjusted as deemed necessary to reflect changes in interest rates relative to the reference rate of the underlying assets or liabilities. On a monthly basis, BB&T evaluates the accuracy of its Simulation model, which includes an evaluation of its prepayment assumptions, to ensure that all significant assumptions inherent in the model appropriately reflect changes in the interest rate environment and related trends in prepayment activity. It is the responsibility of the MRLCC to determine and achieve the most appropriate volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as to ensure an adequate level of liquidity and capital, within the context of corporate performance goals. The MRLCC also sets policy guidelines and establishes long-term strategies with respect to interest rate risk exposure and liquidity. The MRLCC meets regularly to review BB&T’s interest rate risk and liquidity positions in relation to present and prospective market and business conditions, and adopts funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended to ensure that the potential impacts on earnings and liquidity as a result of fluctuations in interest rates are within acceptable tolerance guidelines.

 

BB&T uses derivatives primarily to manage economic risk related to securities, commercial loans, MSRs and mortgage banking operations, long-term debt and other funding sources. BB&T also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients. As of June 30, 2015, BB&T had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $76.2 billion, with a net fair value gain of $177 million. See Note 15 “Derivative Financial Instruments” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures.

 

The majority of BB&T’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. Fluctuations in interest rates and actions of the FRB to regulate the availability and cost of credit have a greater effect on a financial institution’s profitability than do the effects of higher costs for goods and services. Through its balance sheet management function, which is monitored by the MRLCC, management believes that BB&T is positioned to respond to changing needs for liquidity, changes in interest rates and inflationary trends.

 

Management uses the Simulation to measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates. The Simulation projects net interest income and interest rate risk for a rolling two-year period of time. The Simulation takes into account the current contractual agreements that BB&T has made with its customers on deposits, borrowings, loans, investments and commitments to enter into those transactions. Furthermore, the Simulation considers the impact of expected customer behavior. Management monitors BB&T’s interest sensitivity by means of a model that incorporates the current volumes, average rates earned and paid, and scheduled maturities and payments of asset and liability portfolios, together with multiple scenarios that include projected prepayments, repricing opportunities and anticipated volume growth. Using this information, the model projects earnings based on projected portfolio balances under multiple interest rate scenarios. This level of detail is needed to simulate the effect that changes in interest rates and portfolio balances may have on the earnings of BB&T. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but management believes that it provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses such as static or dynamic gap. In addition to the Simulation, BB&T uses EVE analysis to focus on projected changes in capital given potential changes in interest rates. This measure also allows BB&T to analyze interest rate risk that falls outside the analysis window contained in the Simulation. The EVE model is a discounted cash flow of the portfolio of assets, liabilities, and derivative instruments. The difference in the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities is defined as the economic value of equity.

 

71

The asset/liability management process requires a number of key assumptions. Management determines the most likely outlook for the economy and interest rates by analyzing external factors, including published economic projections and data, the effects of likely monetary and fiscal policies, as well as any enacted or prospective regulatory changes. BB&T’s current and prospective liquidity position, current balance sheet volumes and projected growth, accessibility of funds for short-term needs and capital maintenance are also considered. This data is combined with various interest rate scenarios to provide management with the information necessary to analyze interest sensitivity and to aid in the development of strategies to reach performance goals.

 

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on net interest income as projected for the next twelve months assuming a gradual change in interest rates as described below. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related and other assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing, deposit sensitivity, customer preferences and capital plans. The resulting change in net interest income reflects the level of interest rate sensitivity that income has in relation to the investment, loan and deposit portfolios.

        Up 100      4.25       4.25       1.60       1.37     
        No Change      3.25       3.25       ―         ―       
        Down 25      3.00       3.00       0.18       0.35     

 

The MRLCC has established parameters related to interest sensitivity that prescribe a maximum negative impact on net interest income under different interest rate scenarios. In the event the results of the Simulation model fall outside the established parameters, management will make recommendations to the MRLCC on the most appropriate response given the current economic forecast. The following parameters and interest rate scenarios are considered BB&T’s primary measures of interest rate risk:

 

·Maximum negative impact on net interest income of 2% for the next 12 months assuming a linear change in interest rates totaling 100 basis points over four months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining eight month period.

 

·Maximum negative impact on net interest income of 4% for the next 12 months assuming a linear change of 200 basis points over eight months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining four month period.

 

If a rate change of 200 basis points cannot be modeled due to a low level of rates, a proportional limit applies. Management currently only models a negative 25 basis point decline because larger declines would have resulted in a Federal funds rate of less than zero. In a situation such as this, the maximum negative impact on net interest income is adjusted on a proportional basis. Regardless of the proportional limit, the negative risk exposure limit will be the greater of 1% or the proportional limit.

 

Management has also established a maximum negative impact on net interest income of 4% for an immediate 100 basis points change in rates and 8% for an immediate 200 basis points change in rates. These “interest rate shock” limits are designed to create an outer band of acceptable risk based upon a significant and immediate change in rates.

 

Management must also consider how the balance sheet and interest rate risk position could be impacted by changes in balance sheet mix. Liquidity in the banking industry has been very strong during the current economic cycle. Much of this liquidity increase has been due to a significant increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Consistent with the industry, Branch Bank has seen a significant increase in this funding source. The behavior of these deposits is one of the most important assumptions used in determining the interest rate risk position of BB&T. A loss of these deposits in the future would reduce the asset sensitivity of BB&T’s balance sheet as the Company increases interest-bearing funds to offset the loss of this advantageous funding source.

 

72

Beta represents the correlation between overall market interest rates and the rates paid by BB&T on interest-bearing deposits. BB&T applies an average beta of approximately 80% to its managed rate deposits for determining its interest rate sensitivity. Managed rate deposits are high beta, premium money market and interest checking accounts, which attract significant client funds when needed to support balance sheet growth. BB&T regularly conducts sensitivity on other key variables to determine the impact they could have on the interest rate risk position. This allows BB&T to evaluate the likely impact on its balance sheet management strategies due to a more extreme variation in a key assumption than expected.

 

The following table shows the effect that the loss of demand deposits and an associated increase in managed rate deposits would have on BB&T’s interest-rate sensitivity position. For purposes of this analysis, BB&T modeled the incremental beta for the replacement of the lost demand deposits at 100%.

                    Results Assuming a Decrease in  
        Linear Change     Base Scenario   Noninterest Bearing Demand Deposits

        Up 200  bps      2.23  %    1.97  %    0.92  %  
        Up 100        1.60       1.44       0.79     
                                 
                                 
(1) The base scenario is equal to the annualized hypothetical percentage change in net interest income at June 30, 2015 as presented in the preceding table.

 

If rates increased 200 basis points, BB&T could absorb the loss of $8.5 billion, or 20.2%, of noninterest bearing deposits and replace them with managed rate deposits with a beta of 100% before becoming neutral to interest rate changes.

 

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on EVE. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related and other assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing and deposit sensitivity. During the third quarter of 2014, BB&T implemented assumption changes that impacted the reported EVE sensitivity. The primary change was a reduction to the assumed duration of indeterminate deposits, which resulted in an increase in reported liability sensitivity in EVE rate shocks. The estimated impact on the “Hypothetical Percentage Change in EVE” was approximately 375 basis points in the “up 200 basis points” scenario.

Market Risk from Trading Activities

 

BB&T also manages market risk from trading activities which consists of acting as a financial intermediary to provide its customers access to derivatives, foreign exchange and securities markets. Trading market risk is managed through the use of statistical and non-statistical risk measures and limits. BB&T utilizes a historical VaR methodology to measure and aggregate risks across its covered trading LOBs. This methodology uses two years of historical data to estimate economic outcomes for a one-day time horizon at a 99% confidence level. The average 99% one-day VaR and the maximum daily VaR for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were each less than $1 million. Market risk disclosures under Basel II.5 are available in the Additional Disclosures section of the Investor Relations site on www.bbt.com.

Liquidity

 

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

 

BB&T monitors the ability to meet customer demand for funds under both normal and stressed market conditions. In considering its liquidity position, management evaluates BB&T’s funding mix based on client core funding, client rate-sensitive funding and non-client rate-sensitive funding. In addition, management also evaluates exposure to rate-sensitive funding sources that mature in one year or less. Management also measures liquidity needs against 30 days of stressed cash outflows for Branch Bank. To ensure a strong liquidity position, management maintains a liquid asset buffer of cash on hand and highly liquid unpledged securities. The Company has established a policy that the liquid asset buffer would be a minimum of 5% of total assets, but intends to maintain the ratio well in excess of this level. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, BB&T’s liquid asset buffer was 13.3% and 13.6%, respectively, of total assets.

 

During 2013, the FDIC, FRB and OCC released a joint statement providing a NPR concerning the U.S. implementation of the Basel III LCR rule. This rule became final on September 3, 2014. Under the final rule, BB&T will be considered a “modified LCR” holding company. BB&T would be subject to full LCR requirements if its operations were to fall under the “internationally active” rules, which would generally be triggered if BB&T’s assets were to increase above $250 billion. BB&T implemented balance sheet changes to support its compliance with the rule and to optimize its balance sheet based on the final rule. These actions included changing the mix of the investment portfolio to include more GNMA and U.S. Treasury securities, which qualify as Level 1 under the rule, and changing its deposit mix to increase retail and commercial deposits. Based on management’s interpretation of the final rule that will be effective January 1, 2016, BB&T’s LCR was approximately 118% at June 30, 2015, compared to the regulatory minimum of 90%, which puts BB&T in full compliance with the rule. The regulatory minimum will increase to 100% on January 1, 2017. The final rule requires each financial institution to have a method for determining “operational deposits” as defined by the rule. The number above includes an estimate of operational deposits; however, BB&T continues to evaluate its method to identify and measure operational deposits.

Parent Company

 

The purpose of the Parent Company is to serve as the primary capital financing vehicle for the operating subsidiaries. The assets of the Parent Company primarily consist of cash on deposit with Branch Bank, equity investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, accounts receivable from subsidiaries, and other miscellaneous assets. The principal obligations of the Parent Company are principal and interest payments on long-term debt. The main sources of funds for the Parent Company are dividends and management fees from subsidiaries, repayments of advances to subsidiaries, and proceeds from the issuance of equity and long-term debt. The primary uses of funds by the Parent Company are for investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, dividend payments to common and preferred shareholders, retirement of common stock and interest and principal payments due on long-term debt.

 

Liquidity at the Parent Company is more susceptible to market disruptions. BB&T prudently manages cash levels at the Parent Company to cover a minimum of one year of projected contractual cash outflows which includes unfunded external commitments, debt service, preferred dividends and scheduled debt maturities without the benefit of any new cash infusions. Generally, BB&T maintains a significant buffer above the projected one year of contractual cash outflows. In determining the buffer, BB&T considers cash requirements for common and preferred dividends, unfunded commitments to affiliates, being a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries and being able to withstand sustained market disruptions that could limit access to the capital markets. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Parent Company had 28 months and 31 months, respectively, of cash on hand to satisfy projected contractual cash outflows as described above.

 

Branch Bank

 

BB&T carefully manages liquidity risk at Branch Bank. Branch Bank’s primary source of funding is customer deposits. Continued access to customer deposits is highly dependent on the confidence the public has in the stability of the bank and its ability to return funds to the client when requested. BB&T maintains a strong focus on its reputation in the market to ensure continued access to client deposits. BB&T integrates its risk appetite into its overall risk management framework to ensure the bank does not exceed its risk tolerance through its lending and other risk taking functions and thus risk becoming undercapitalized. BB&T believes that sufficient capital is paramount to maintaining the confidence of its depositors and other funds providers. BB&T has extensive capital management processes in place to ensure it maintains sufficient capital to absorb losses and maintain a highly capitalized position that will instill confidence in the bank and allow continued access to deposits and other funding sources. Branch Bank monitors many liquidity metrics at the bank including funding concentrations, diversification, maturity distribution, contingent funding needs and ability to meet liquidity requirements under times of stress.

 

Branch Bank has several major sources of funding to meet its liquidity requirements, including access to capital markets through issuance of senior or subordinated bank notes and institutional CDs, access to the FHLB system, dealer repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements with commercial clients, access to the overnight and term Federal funds markets, use of a Cayman branch facility, access to retail brokered CDs and a borrower in custody program with the FRB for the discount window. As of June 30, 2015, Branch Bank has approximately $69.5 billion of secured borrowing capacity, which represents approximately 7.7 times the amount of one year wholesale funding maturities.

 

Capital

 

The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on a regular basis. BB&T’s principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support BB&T’s risk profile consistent with the Board-approved risk appetite, provide financial flexibility to support future growth and client needs, comply with relevant laws, regulations, and supervisory guidance, achieve optimal credit ratings for BB&T and its subsidiaries and provide a competitive return to shareholders.

 

Management regularly monitors the capital position of BB&T on both a consolidated and bank level basis. In this regard, management’s overriding policy is to maintain capital at levels that are in excess of the operating capital guidelines, which are above the regulatory “well capitalized” levels. Management has implemented stressed capital ratio minimum guidelines to evaluate whether capital ratios calculated with planned capital actions are likely to remain above minimums specified by the FRB for the annual CCAR. Breaches of stressed minimum guidelines prompt a review of the planned capital actions included in BB&T’s capital plan.

  Tangible Common Equity Ratio  6.0       4.0     
  Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio  8.5       6.0     

 

While nonrecurring events or management decisions may result in the Company temporarily falling below its operating minimum guidelines for one or more of these ratios, it is management’s intent through capital planning to return to these targeted operating minimums within a reasonable period of time. Such temporary decreases below the operating minimums shown above are not considered an infringement of BB&T’s overall capital policy provided the Company and Branch Bank remain “well-capitalized.”

 

Basel III capital requirements became effective on January 1, 2015. Risk-based capital ratios for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, which include common equity tier 1, Tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage capital, are calculated based on Basel III regulatory transitional guidance related to the measurement of capital, risk-weighted assets and average assets.

Share Repurchase Activity

 

No shares were repurchased in connection with the 2006 Repurchase Plan during 2015. During June of 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a new plan, the 2015 Repurchase Plan, to repurchase up to 50 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Repurchases under the 2015 Repurchase Plan may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. The timing and exact amount of repurchases will be consistent with the Company’s capital plan and subject to various factors, including the Company’s capital position, liquidity, financial performance, alternative uses of capital, stock trading price and general market conditions, and may be suspended at any time. Shares that are repurchased pursuant to the 2015 Repurchase Plan will constitute authorized but unissued shares of the Company and will therefore be available for future issuances. The 2015 Repurchase Plan replaces the 2006 Repurchase Plan. No shares were repurchased in connection with the 2015 Repurchase Plan during the second quarter of 2015.
