(1)
Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets (including goodwill and intangible assets associated with certain of our nonmarketable equity securities, but excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of applicable deferred taxes. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that return on average tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share, which utilize tangible common equity, are useful financial measures because they enable investors and others to assess the Company’s use of equity. For additional information, including a corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, see the “Capital Management – Tangible Common Equity” section in this Report.
(2)
The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
(3)
Pre-tax pre-provision profit (PTPP) is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that PTPP is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle.
(4)
Consumer and small business banking deposits are total deposits excluding mortgage escrow and wholesale deposits.
(5)
The risk-based capital ratios were calculated under the lower of Standardized or Advanced Approach determined pursuant to Basel III. Beginning January 1, 2018, the requirements for calculating common equity tier 1 and tier 1 capital, along with risk-weighted assets, became fully phased-in; accordingly, the information presented reflects fully phased-in common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and risk-weighted assets but reflects total capital still in accordance with Transition Requirements. See the “Capital Management” section and Note 23 (Regulatory and Agency Capital Requirements) to Financial Statements in this Report for additional information.
(6)
Book value per common share is common stockholders’ equity divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible book value per common share is tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements are described in this Report, including in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section, and in the “Risk Factors” and “Regulation and Supervision” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2018
(
2018

Financial Review
Overview
Wells Fargo & Company is a diversified, community-based financial services company with
$1.94 trillion
in assets. Founded in 1852 and headquartered in San Francisco, we provide banking, investment and mortgage products and services, as well as consumer and commercial finance, through 7,500 locations, more than 13,000 ATMs, digital (online, mobile and social), and contact centers (phone, email and correspondence), and we have offices in 32 countries and territories to support customers who conduct business in the global economy. With approximately 261,000 active, full-time equivalent team members, we serve one in three households in the United States and ranked No. 29 on
Fortune’s
2019 rankings of America’s largest corporations. We ranked fourth in assets and third in the market value of our common stock among all U.S. banks at
September 30, 2019
.
We use our
Vision, Values & Goals
to guide us toward growth and success. Our vision is to satisfy our customers’ financial needs and help them succeed financially. We aspire to create deep and enduring relationships with our customers by providing them with an exceptional experience and by understanding their needs and delivering the most relevant products, services, advice, and guidance.
We have five primary values, which are based on our vision and guide the actions we take. First, we place customers at the center of everything we do. We want to exceed customer expectations and build relationships that last a lifetime. Second, we value and support our people as a competitive advantage and strive to attract, develop, motivate, and retain the best team members. Third, we strive for the highest ethical standards of integrity, transparency, and principled performance. Fourth, we value and promote diversity and inclusion in all aspects of business and at all levels. Fifth, we look to each of our team members to be a leader in establishing, sharing, and communicating our vision for our customers, communities, team members, and shareholders. In addition to our five primary values, one of our key day-to-day priorities is to make risk management a competitive advantage by working hard to ensure that appropriate controls are in place to reduce risks to our customers, maintain and increase our competitive market position, and protect Wells Fargo’s long-term safety, soundness, and reputation.
In keeping with our primary values and risk management priorities, we have six long-term goals for the Company, which entail becoming the financial services leader in the following areas:
•
Customer service and advice – provide exceptional service and guidance to our customers to help them succeed financially.
•
Team member engagement – be a company where people feel included, valued, and supported; everyone is respected; and we work as a team.
•
Innovation – create lasting value for our customers and increased efficiency for our operations through innovative thinking, industry-leading technology, and a willingness to test and learn.
•
Risk management – set the global standard in managing all forms of risk.
•
Corporate citizenship – make a positive contribution to communities through philanthropy, advancing diversity and inclusion, creating economic opportunity, and promoting environmental sustainability.
•
Shareholder value – deliver long-term value for shareholders.
The Company’s Board of Directors (Board) elected Charles W. Scharf as CEO and President and as a member of the Board effective October 21, 2019.
Federal Reserve Board Consent Order Regarding Governance Oversight and Compliance and Operational Risk Management
On February 2, 2018, the Company entered into a consent order with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). As required by the consent order, the Board submitted to the FRB a plan to further enhance the Board’s governance and oversight of the Company, and the Company submitted to the FRB a plan to further improve the Company’s compliance and operational risk management program. The Company continues to engage with the FRB as the Company works to address the consent order provisions. The consent order also requires the Company, following the FRB’s acceptance and approval of the plans and the Company’s adoption and implementation of the plans, to complete an initial third-party review of the enhancements and improvements provided for in the plans. Until this third-party review is complete and the plans are approved and implemented to the satisfaction of the FRB, the Company’s total consolidated assets will be limited to the level as of December 31, 2017. Compliance with this asset cap will be measured on a two-quarter daily average basis to allow for management of temporary fluctuations. As of the end of
third quarter 2019
, our total consolidated assets, as calculated pursuant to the requirements of the consent order, were below our level of total assets as of December 31, 2017. Additionally, after removal of the asset cap, a second third-party review must also be conducted to assess the efficacy and sustainability of the enhancements and improvements.

On April 20, 2018, the Company entered into consent orders with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to pay an aggregate of $1 billion in civil money penalties to resolve matters regarding the Company’s compliance risk management program and past practices involving certain automobile collateral protection insurance policies and certain mortgage interest rate lock extensions. As required by the consent orders, the Company submitted to the CFPB and OCC an enterprise-wide compliance risk management plan and a plan to enhance the Company’s internal audit program with respect to federal consumer financial law and the terms of the consent orders. In addition, as required by the consent orders, the Company submitted for non-objection plans to remediate customers affected by the automobile collateral protection insurance and mortgage interest rate lock matters, as well as a plan for the management of remediation activities conducted by the Company.
Retail Sales Practices Matters
As we have previously reported, in September 2016 we announced settlements with the CFPB, the OCC, and the Office of the Los Angeles City Attorney, and entered into consent orders with the CFPB and the OCC, in connection with allegations that some of our retail customers received products and services they did not request. As a result, it remains our top priority to rebuild trust through a comprehensive action plan that includes making things right for our customers, team members, and other stakeholders, and building a better Company for the future.
Our priority of rebuilding trust has included numerous actions focused on identifying potential financial harm and customer remediation. The Board and management are conducting company-wide reviews of sales practices issues. These reviews are ongoing. In August 2017, a third-party consulting firm completed an expanded data-driven review of retail banking accounts opened from January 2009 to September 2016 to identify financial harm stemming from potentially unauthorized accounts. We have completed financial remediation for the customers identified through the expanded account analysis. Additionally, customer outreach under the $142 million class-action lawsuit settlement concerning improper retail sales practices (
Jabbari v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
) into which the Company entered to provide further remediation to customers, concluded in June 2018 and the period for customers to submit claims closed on July 7, 2018. The settlement administrator will pay claims following the calculation of compensatory damages and favorable resolution of pending appeals in the case.
For additional information regarding sales practices matters, including related legal matters, see the “Risk Factors” section in our
2018
Form 10-K and Note 14 (Legal Actions) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Additional Efforts to Rebuild Trust
Our priority of rebuilding trust has also included an effort to identify other areas or instances where customers may have experienced financial harm. We are working with our regulatory agencies in this effort, and we have accrued for the reasonably estimable remediation costs related to these matters, which amounts may change based on additional facts and information, as well as ongoing reviews and communications with our
regulators. As part of this effort, we are focused on the following key areas:
•
Automobile Lending Business
The Company is reviewing practices concerning the origination, servicing, and collection of consumer automobile loans, including matters related to certain insurance products. In July 2017, the Company announced it would remediate customers who may have been financially harmed due to issues related to automobile collateral protection insurance (CPI) policies purchased through a third-party vendor on their behalf (based on an understanding that the borrowers did not have physical damage insurance coverage on their automobiles as required during the term of their automobile loans
)
. The Company is in the process of providing remediation to affected customers. In addition, the Company has identified certain issues related to the unused portion of guaranteed automobile protection waiver or insurance agreements between the customer and dealer and, by assignment, the lender, which will require remediation to customers in certain states. The Company is in the process of providing such remediation to affected customers. The Company has also identified certain issues related to its consumer automobile collections processes for customers in default, including legal notice practices in certain states and expenses charged in connection with certain repossessions. We expect remediation of affected customers will be required.
•
Add-on Products
The Company is reviewing
practices related to certain consumer “add-on” products, including identity theft and debt protection products that were subject to an OCC consent order entered into in June 2015, as well as home and automobile warranty products, and memberships in discount programs. The products were sold to customers through a number of distribution channels and, in some cases, were acquired by the Company in connection with the purchase of loans. Sales of certain of these products have been discontinued over the past few years primarily due to decisions made by the Company in the normal course of business, and by mid-2017, the Company had ceased selling any of these products to consumers. We are in the process of providing remediation where we identify affected customers, and are also providing refunds to customers who purchased certain products. The review of the Company’s historical practices with respect to these products is ongoing, focusing on, among other topics, sales practices, adequacy of disclosures, customer servicing, and volume and type of customer complaints.
•
Consumer Deposit Account Freezing/Closing
The Company is reviewing certain historical practices associated with the freezing (and, in many cases, closing) of consumer deposit accounts after the Company detected suspected fraudulent activity (by third-parties or account holders) that affected those accounts. Based on our ongoing review, we expect to remediate affected customers.
•
Review of Certain Activities Within Wealth and Investment Management
A review of certain activities within Wealth and Investment Management (WIM) being conducted by the Board, in response to inquiries from federal government agencies, is assessing whether there have been inappropriate referrals or recommendations, including with respect to rollovers for 401(k) plan participants, certain alternative investments, or referrals of brokerage customers to the Company’s investment and fiduciary services business. The Board substantially completed its review and did not uncover evidence of systemic or widespread issues in these
4
Overview
(continued)
businesses. Federal government agencies continue to review this matter.
•
Fiduciary and Custody Account Fee Calculations
The Company is reviewing fee calculations within certain fiduciary and custody accounts in its investment and fiduciary services business, which is part of the wealth management business in WIM. The Company has determined that there have been instances of incorrect fees being applied to certain assets and accounts, resulting in both overcharges and undercharges to customers. These issues included the incorrect set-up and maintenance in the system of record of the values associated with certain assets. Reviews are ongoing to determine the extent of any assets and accounts affected, and, as a result of its reviews to date, the Company has suspended the charging of fees on some assets and accounts, has notified the affected customers, and is continuing its analysis of those assets and accounts. We are in the process of providing remediation to affected customers and continue to review customer accounts to determine the extent of any necessary remediation or specific fee suspensions, including with respect to additional accounts not yet reviewed.
•
Foreign Exchange Business
The Company has completed an assessment, with the assistance of a third party, of its policies, practices, and procedures in its foreign exchange (FX) business. The FX business has implemented new policies, practices, and procedures, including those related to pricing. The Company is in the process of providing remediation to customers that may have received pricing inconsistent with commitments made to those customers, and rebates to customers where historic pricing, while consistent with contracts entered into with those customers, does not conform to recently implemented pricing review standards for prior periods. The Company’s review of affected customers is ongoing.
•
Mortgage Loan Modifications
An internal review of the Company’s use of a mortgage loan modification underwriting tool identified a calculation error regarding foreclosure attorneys’ fees affecting certain accounts that were in the foreclosure process between April 13, 2010, and October 2, 2015, when the error was corrected. A subsequent expanded review identified related errors regarding the maximum allowable foreclosure attorneys’ fees permitted for certain accounts that were in the foreclosure process between March 15, 2010, and April 30, 2018, when new controls were implemented. Similar to the initial calculation error, these errors caused an overstatement of the attorneys’ fees that were included for purposes of determining whether a customer qualified for a mortgage loan modification or repayment plan pursuant to the requirements of government-sponsored enterprises (such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Home Affordable Modification Program. Customers were not actually charged the incorrect attorneys’ fees. As previously disclosed, the Company has identified customers who, as a result of these errors, were incorrectly denied a loan modification or were not offered a loan modification or repayment plan in cases where they otherwise would have qualified, as well as instances where a foreclosure was completed after the loan modification was denied or the customer was deemed ineligible to be offered a loan modification or repayment plan. The number of previously disclosed customers affected by these errors may change as a result of our ongoing review and validation process,
including the criteria used to determine the population of affected customers. The Company is in the process of providing remediation to affected customers. The Company’s review of its mortgage loan modification practices is ongoing, and we will provide remediation to the extent we identify additional affected customers as a result of this review.
•
Consumer Deposit Account Disclosures and Fees
The Company is reviewing certain past disclosures to customers regarding the minimum qualifying debit card usage required for customers to receive a waiver of monthly service fees on certain consumer deposit accounts. Based on the possibility of confusion by some customers regarding the transactions that counted toward the waiver, we expect to refund certain monthly service and related fees to affected customers.
Separately, the Company expects to refund certain monthly service fees that were charged in the past on certain consumer deposit accounts prior to an initial deposit being made by the customer. Under the Company’s current processes, which have been in place for several years, we would no longer assess a monthly service fee on such accounts prior to an initial deposit by the customer.
To the extent issues are identified, we will continue to assess any customer harm and provide remediation as appropriate. This effort to identify other instances in which customers may have experienced harm is ongoing, and it is possible that we may identify other areas of potential concern. For more information, including related legal and regulatory risk, see the “Risk Factors” section in our 2018 Form 10-K and Note 14 (Legal Actions) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Financial Performance
Wells Fargo net income was
$4.6 billion
in
third
quarter
2019
with diluted earnings per common share (EPS) of $
0.92
, compared with
$6.0 billion
and
$
1.13
, respectively, a year ago. Net income and diluted EPS for third quarter 2019 included the impact of a $1.6 billion, or
$(0.35)
per share, discrete litigation accrual for previously disclosed retail sales practices matters, and a
$1.1 billion
, or
$0.20
per share, gain from the sale of our Institutional Retirement and Trust (IRT) business. Also, in
third quarter 2019
:
•
revenue was
$22.0 billion
,
up
$69 million
compared with a year ago, with net interest income
down
$947 million
and noninterest income
up
$1.0 billion
;
•
the net interest margin was
2.66%
, down
28
basis points from a year ago largely due to balance sheet mix and repricing;
•
noninterest expense was
$15.2 billion
,
up
$1.4 billion
from a year ago predominantly due to higher operating losses from higher litigation accruals, as well as higher salaries, commissions and incentive compensation expense, partially offset by lower employee benefits expense, core deposit and other intangibles expense, and FDIC and other deposit assessments expense;
•
average loans were
$949.8 billion
,
up
$10.3 billion
from a year ago;
•
average deposits were
$1.3 trillion
,
up
$25.0 billion
from a year ago;
•
return on assets (ROA) of
0.95%
and return on equity (ROE) of
9.00%
, were down from
1.27%
and
12.04%
, respectively, a year ago;
•
our credit results improved with a net charge-off rate of
0.27%
(annualized) of average loans in
third
quarter
2019
, compared with
0.29%
(annualized) a year ago;
5
•
nonaccrual loans of
$5.5 billion
were
down
$1.2 billion
, or
17%
, from a year ago; and
•
we returned
$9.0 billion
to shareholders through common stock dividends and net share repurchases, an increase of
2%
from the
$8.9 billion
we returned in
third
quarter 2018 and the 17th consecutive quarter of returning more than $3.0 billion.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Our balance sheet remained strong during
third quarter 2019
with strong credit quality and solid levels of liquidity and capital. Our total assets were
$1.94 trillion
at
September 30, 2019
. Cash and other short-term investments
decreased
$1.7 billion
from
December 31, 2018
, reflecting lower deposit balances, partially offset by an increase in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. Debt securities were
$503.5 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, an
increase
of
$18.8 billion
from
December 31, 2018
, predominantly due to an increase in trading and held-to-maturity debt securities. Loans were
up
$1.8 billion
from
December 31, 2018
, driven by increases in real estate 1-4 family first mortgage, automobile, commercial real estate mortgage, commercial and industrial, and credit card loans, partially offset by decreases in real estate 1-4 family junior lien mortgage, commercial real estate construction, and other revolving credit and installment loans.
Average deposits in
third quarter 2019
were
$1.3 trillion
,
up
$25.0 billion
from
third quarter 2018
reflecting higher Wholesale Banking and retail banking deposits, partially offset by lower WIM deposits as customers allocated more cash into higher yielding liquid alternatives. Our average deposit cost in
third quarter 2019
was
71
basis points,
up
24
basis points from a year ago, driven by increases in Wholesale Banking and WIM deposit rates, unfavorable deposit mix shifts, and retail banking deposit campaign pricing for new deposits.
Credit Quality
Solid overall credit results continued in
third quarter 2019
as losses remained low and we continued to originate high quality loans, reflecting our long-term risk focus. Net charge-offs were
$645 million
, or
0.27%
(annualized) of average loans, in
third quarter 2019
, compared with
$680 million
a year ago (
0.29%
) (annualized). The
decrease
in net charge-offs in
third quarter 2019
, compared with a year ago, was predominantly driven by lower losses in the commercial real estate, automobile, and real estate 1-4 family junior lien mortgage portfolios, partially offset by increases in the real estate 1-4 family first mortgage and credit card portfolios.
Our commercial portfolio net charge-offs were
$139 million
, or
11
basis points (annualized) of average commercial loans, in
third quarter 2019
, compared with net charge-offs of
$152 million
, or
12
basis points (annualized), a year ago. Our consumer portfolio net charge-offs were
$506 million
, or
46
basis points (annualized) of average consumer loans, in
third quarter 2019
, compared with net charge-offs of
$528 million
, or
47
basis points (annualized), a year ago.
The allowance for credit losses as of
September 30, 2019
,
decreased
$343 million
compared with a year ago and
decreased
$94 million
from
December 31, 2018
. We had a
$50 million
build in the allowance for credit losses in
third
quarter
2019
, compared with a
$100 million
release in the same period a year ago. The allowance coverage for total loans was
1.11%
at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
1.16%
a year ago and
1.12%
at
December 31, 2018
. The allowance covered
4.1
times annualized net charge-offs in both third quarter 2019 and 2018. Future allowance levels will be based on a variety of factors, including loan growth, portfolio performance and general economic conditions. Our provision for loan losses was
$695 million
in
third quarter 2019
,
up
from
$580 million
a year ago.
Nonperforming assets
decreased
$317 million
, or
5%
, from
June 30, 2019
, and
$965 million
, or
14%
, from
December 31, 2018
, and represented
0.63%
of total loans at
September 30, 2019
. Nonaccrual loans
decreased
$377 million
from
June 30, 2019
, and
$951 million
from
December 31, 2018
, driven by improvement across several commercial and consumer loan categories along with a decrease in consumer nonaccruals from sales of residential real estate mortgage loans as well as the reclassification of $10 million and
$387 million
in real estate 1-4 family mortgage nonaccrual loans to mortgage loans held for sale (MLHFS) in the third quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively. Foreclosed assets
increased
$60 million
from
June 30, 2019
, and decreased
$14 million
from
December 31, 2018
.
Capital
Our financial performance in
third quarter 2019
allowed us to maintain a solid capital position, with total equity of
$194.4 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$197.1 billion
at
December 31, 2018
. We returned
$9.0 billion
to shareholders in
third quarter 2019
through common stock dividends and net share repurchases, which was
2%
more than the
$8.9 billion
we returned in
third
quarter
2018
. Our net payout ratio (which is the ratio of (i) common stock dividends and share repurchases less issuances and stock compensation-related items, divided by (ii) net income applicable to common stock) was
224%
. We continued to reduce our common shares outstanding through the repurchase of
159.1 million
common shares in the quarter. We expect to reduce our common shares outstanding through share repurchases throughout the remainder of
2019
.
We believe an important measure of our capital strength is the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio under Basel III, fully phased-in, which was
11.61%
at
September 30, 2019
, down from
11.74%
at
December 31, 2018
, and well above our internal target of 10.00%. As of
September 30, 2019
, our eligible external total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets was
23.29%
, compared with the required minimum of 22.0%. Likewise, our other regulatory capital ratios remained strong. See the “Capital Management” section in this Report for more information regarding our capital, including the calculation of our regulatory capital amounts.
Earnings Performance
Wells Fargo net income for
third quarter 2019
was
$4.6 billion
(
$0.92
diluted earnings per common share), compared with
$6.0 billion
(
$1.13
diluted per share) for
third quarter 2018
. Net income and diluted EPS for third quarter 2019 included the impact of a $1.6 billion, or
$(0.35)
per share, discrete litigation accrual for previously disclosed retail sales practices matters, and
a $1.1 billion, or
$0.20
per share, gain from the sale of our IRT business. Net income decreased in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, due to a
$947 million
decrease
in net interest income, a
$1.4 billion
increase
in noninterest expense, and a
$115 million
increase
in our provision for credit losses, partially offset by a
$1.0 billion
increase
in noninterest income,
6
Earnings Performance (
continued
)
and a
$208 million
decrease
in income tax expense. Net income in
third quarter 2019
included a net discrete income tax expense of
$443 million
, compared with a net discrete income tax expense of $168 million for the same period a year ago. Net income for the
first nine months of 2019
was
$16.7 billion
, compared with
$16.3 billion
for the same period a year ago. The increase in net income in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was driven by a
$1.1 billion
increase
in noninterest income, a
$223 million
decrease
in noninterest expense, and a
$1.2 billion
decline
in income tax expense, partially offset by a
$1.3 billion
decrease
in net interest income and a
$820 million
increase
in our provision for credit losses. Net income in the
first nine months of 2019
included a net discrete income tax expense of $132 million, compared with a net discrete income tax expense of $786 million for the same period a year ago.
Revenue, the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, was
$22.0 billion
in
third quarter 2019
, compared with
$21.9 billion
in the same period a year ago. Revenue increased in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, due to an
increase
in noninterest income, partially offset by a
decrease
in net interest income. Revenue for the
first nine months of 2019
was
$65.2 billion
, compared with
$65.4 billion
for the same period a year ago. The
decline
in revenue in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was due to a decrease in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income. Our diversified sources of revenue generated by our businesses continued to be relatively balanced between net interest income and noninterest income. Net interest income represented
55%
of revenue in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with
57%
in the
first nine months of 2018
. Noninterest income represented
45%
of revenue in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with
43%
in the
first nine months of 2018
.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the interest earned on debt securities, loans (including yield-related loan fees) and other interest-earning assets minus the interest paid on deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. The net interest margin is the average yield on earning assets minus the average interest rate paid for deposits and our other sources of funding. Net interest income and the net interest margin are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis in
Table 1
to consistently reflect income from taxable and tax-exempt loans and debt and equity securities based on a
21%
federal statutory tax rate for the periods ending
September 30, 2019
and
2018
.
Net interest income and the net interest margin in any one period can be significantly affected by a variety of factors including the mix and overall size of our earning assets portfolio and the cost of funding those assets. In addition, variable sources of interest income, such as loan fees, periodic dividends, and collection of interest on nonaccrual loans, can fluctuate from period to period.
Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was
$11.8 billion
and
$36.5 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$12.7 billion
and
$37.8 billion
for the same periods a year ago. Net interest margin on a taxable-equivalent basis was
2.66%
and
2.79%
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, compared with
2.94%
and
2.90%
for the same periods a year ago. The decrease in net interest income and net interest margin in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was driven by unfavorable impacts of repricing, growth and mix. The decrease in net interest income and net interest margin in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was
driven by unfavorable impacts of repricing, growth and mix, partially offset by favorable hedge ineffectiveness accounting results.
Average earning assets increased
$37.3 billion
in
third quarter 2019
compared with the same period a year ago. The change was driven by increases in:
•
average federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements of
$26.0 billion
;
•
average debt securities of
$11.7 billion
;
•
average loans of
$10.3 billion
;
•
average mortgage loans held for sale of
$3.4 billion
; and
•
other earning assets of
$2.0 billion
;
partially offset by decreases in:
•
average interest-earning deposits of
$14.5 billion
;
•
average equity securities of
$827 million
; and
•
average loans held for sale of
$655 million
.
Average earning assets increased
$4.9 billion
in the
first nine months of 2019
compared with the same period a year ago. The change was driven by increases in:
•
average federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements of
$16.6 billion
;
•
average debt securities of
$8.6 billion
; and
•
average loans of
$4.3 billion
;
partially offset by decreases in:
•
average interest-earning deposits of
$19.9 billion
;
•
average equity securities of
$3.2 billion
;
•
average loans held for sale of
$883 million
;
•
average mortgage loans held for sale of
$448 million
; and
•
other earning assets of
$133 million
.
Deposits are an important low-cost source of funding and affect both net interest income and the net interest margin. Deposits include noninterest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing checking, market rate and other savings, savings certificates, other time deposits, and deposits in foreign offices. Average deposits were
$1.29 trillion
and
$1.27 trillion
in
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$1.27 trillion
and
$1.28 trillion
in the same periods a year ago, and represented
136%
of average loans in
third
quarter
2019
and
134%
in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with
135%
in both the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2018
. Average deposits were
73%
of average earning assets in both the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, compared with
73%
in both the same periods a year ago. The average deposit cost for
third
quarter
2019
was
71
basis points, up
24
basis points from a year ago, driven by an increase in Wholesale Banking and WIM deposit rates, unfavorable deposit mix shifts, and retail banking deposit campaign pricing for new deposits.

Noninterest income was
$10.4 billion
and
$29.2 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$9.4 billion
and
$28.1 billion
for the same periods a year ago. Noninterest income represented
47%
of revenue for
third quarter 2019
and
45%
of revenue for the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with
43%
for both periods in
2018
. The increase in noninterest income in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same periods a year ago, was predominantly driven by higher all other income, which included a
$1.1 billion
pre-tax gain from the sale of our IRT business, and higher net gains from trading and equity securities, partially offset by lower trust and investment fees and lower mortgage banking income. For more information on our performance obligations and the nature of services performed for certain of our revenues discussed below, see Note 18 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Service charges on deposit accounts were
$1.2 billion
and
$3.5 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, flat compared with the same periods a year ago.
In both the third quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same periods a year ago, consumer service charges were higher primarily due to higher overdraft fees resulting from increases in consumer ACH and recurring debit card transactions, offset by lower treasury management fees. The decline in treasury management fees in both the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same periods a year ago, was
primarily due to the impact of a higher earnings credit rate applied to commercial accounts due to increased interest rates.
Brokerage
advisory, commissions and other fees were
$2.3 billion
in
third quarter 2019
, flat compared with the same period a year ago, and
$6.9 billion
in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with
$7.1 billion
for the same period a year ago.
In
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, higher asset-based fees were offset by lower transactional revenue. The decrease in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was due to lower asset-based fees and transactional revenue. Retail brokerage client assets totaled
$1.6 trillion
at both
September 30,
2019
and
2018
, with all retail brokerage services provided by our WIM operating segment. For additional information on retail brokerage client assets, see the discussion and Tables 4d and 4e in the “Operating Segment Results – Wealth and Investment Management – Retail Brokerage Client Assets” section in this Report.
Trust and investment management fee income is largely from client assets under management (AUM) for which fees are based on a tiered scale relative to market value of the assets, and client assets under administration (AUA), for which fees are generally based on the extent of services to administer the assets.
Trust and investment management fees declined to
$729 million
and
$2.3 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively,
from
$835 million
and
$2.52 billion
for the same periods a year ago. The decrease in the third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
,
compared with the same periods a
10
Earnings Performance (
continued
)
year ago, was driven by lower trust fees due to the sale of our IRT business. The decrease in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, also reflected lower mutual fund asset fees.
Our AUM, including IRT client assets still on our platform, totaled
$691.9 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$668.8 billion
at
September 30, 2018
. Substantially all of our AUM is managed by our WIM operating segment.
Our AUA, including IRT client assets still on our platform, totaled
$1.8 trillion
at both
September 30,
2019
and
2018
. We had AUM and AUA associated with the IRT business of
$21 billion
and
$912 billion
, respectively, at September 30, 2019. No IRT client assets were transitioned to the buyer's platform as of September 30, 2019.
We closed the previously announced sale of our IRT business on July 1, 2019. We will continue to administer client assets at the direction of the buyer for up to 24 months from the closing date pursuant to a transition services agreement. The buyer will receive post-closing revenue from the client assets and will pay us a fee for certain costs that we incur to administer the client assets during the transition period. The transition services fee will be recognized as other noninterest income, and the expenses we incur will be recognized in the same manner as they were prior to the close of the sale.
Transition period revenue is expected to approximate transition period expenses and is subject to downward adjustment as client assets transition to the buyer's platform.
A
dditional information regarding our WIM operating segment AUM is provided in the “Operating Segment Results – Wealth and Investment Management – Trust and Investment Client Assets Under Management” section in this Report, including Table 4f.
Investment
banking fees were
$484 million
and
$1.3 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$462 million
and
$1.4 billion
for the same periods a year ago.
The increase in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was driven by higher debt originations, partially offset by lower advisory fees. The decrease in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was predominantly due to lower equity and debt originations.
Card fees were
$1.0 billion
and
$3.0 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$1.0 billion
and
$2.9 billion
for the same periods
a year ago. The increase in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was predominantly due to higher interchange fees driven by increased purchase activity, partially offset by higher rewards costs.
Other fees
were
$858 million
and
$2.4 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$850 million
and
$2.5 billion
for the same periods a year ago.
The decrease in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was driven by lower lending related charges and fees, and lower cash network fees, partially offset by higher commercial real estate brokerage commissions. We closed the previously announced sale of our commercial real estate brokerage business, Eastdil Secured (Eastdil), on October 1, 2019, and we recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $360 million, which will be reflected in our fourth quarter 2019 net income.
Mortgage
banking noninterest income, consisting of net servicing income and net gains on mortgage loan origination/ sales activities, totaled
$466 million
and
$1.9 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$846 million
and
$2.6 billion
for the same periods a year ago.
In
addition to servicing fees, net mortgage loan servicing income includes amortization of commercial mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), changes in the fair value of residential MSRs during the period, as well as changes in the value of derivatives (economic hedges) used to hedge the residential MSRs. Net servicing income
was a loss of
$142 million
for
third quarter 2019
, which included a
$284 million
net MSR valuation loss (
$962 million
decrease
in the fair value of the MSRs and a
$678 million
hedge gain). Net servicing income of
$390 million
for
third quarter 2018
included a
$30 million
net MSR valuation gain (
$531 million
increase in the fair value of the MSRs and a
$501 million
hedge loss). For the
first nine months of 2019
, net servicing income of $
499 million
included a
$136 million
net MSR valuation loss (
$2.9 billion
decrease in the fair value of the MSRs and a
$2.8 billion
hedge gain), and for the
first nine months of 2018
, net servicing income of
$1.3 billion
included a
$166 million
net MSR valuation gain (
$2.2 billion
increase in the fair value of the MSRs and a
$2.0 billion
hedge loss). The reduction in the net MSR valuation results for the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same periods a year ago, was predominantly attributable to valuation adjustments made in third quarter 2019 to reflect higher prepayment rate estimates. The reduction in net servicing income for the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same periods a year ago, also reflected lower net servicing fees due to servicing portfolio runoff and sales.
Our portfolio of
loans serviced for others was
$1.63 trillion
at
September 30, 2019
, and
$1.71 trillion
at
December 31, 2018
. At
September 30, 2019
, the ratio of combined residential and commercial MSRs to related loans serviced for others was
0.76%
, compared with
0.94%
at
December 31, 2018
. See the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Mortgage Banking Interest Rate and Market Risk” section in this Report for additional information regarding our MSRs risks and hedging approach.
Net
gains on mortgage loan origination/sales activities were
$608 million
and
$1.4 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$456 million
and
$1.3 billion
for the same periods a year ago
. The increase in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was
predominantly due to higher production margins and higher held for sale loan origination volumes.
The increase in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was predominantly due to higher production margins and a higher repurchase reserve release in 2019, partially offset by lower held for sale mortgage loan origination volumes.
The production margin on residential held-for-sale mortgage loan originations, which represents net gains on residential mortgage loan origination/sales activities divided by total residential held-for-sale mortgage loan originations, provides a measure of the profitability of our residential mortgage origination activity
.

for the
third
quarter and

, respectively, compared with
0.97%
and
0.89%
for the same periods a year ago. The increase in production margin in
third quarter 2019
,
compared with the same period a year ago,
was
predominantly due to
higher margins
in our correspondent production channel and a shift to more retail origination volume, which has a higher production margin.
The increase in production margin in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was due to higher margins in both our production channels and a shift to more retail origination volume.
Mortgage applications were
$85 billion
and
$239 billion
for the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$57 billion
and
$182 billion
for the same periods a year ago
. The 1-4 family first mortgage unclosed application pipeline was
$44 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$22 billion
at
September 30, 2018
. For additional information about our mortgage banking activities and results, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Mortgage Banking Interest Rate and Market Risk” section and Note 11 (Mortgage Banking Activities) and Note 16 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Net
gains from trading activities, which reflect unrealized changes in fair value of our trading positions and realized gains and losses, were
$276 million
and
$862 million
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$158 million
and
$592 million
in the same periods a year ago.
The increase in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago,
was driven by increased trading activity in rates and commodities, credit trading, and equities, as well as higher trading volumes on residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). The increase in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with same period a year ago, was driven by higher trading volumes on RMBS and higher credit trading, partially offset by lower equity trading activity. Net gains from trading activities do not include interest and dividend income and expense on trading securities. Those amounts
are reported within interest income from debt and equity securities and other interest expense. For additional information about trading activities, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Market Risk-
Trading Activities” section and Note 4 (Trading Activities) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Net gains on debt and equity securities totaled
$959 million
and
$2.5 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$473 million
and
$1.6 billion
for the same periods a year ago, after other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) write-downs of
$49 million
and
$168 million
for the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$50 million
and
$325 million
for the same periods a year ago
.
The increase in net gains on debt and equity securities in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago,
was driven predominantly by higher net realized gains from nonmarketable equity securities and higher unrealized gains on equity securities, partially offset by lower deferred compensation gains (offset in employee benefits expense) and lower net gains on debt securities. The increase in net gains on debt and equity securities in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was driven by higher unrealized gains on equity securities, higher deferred compensation gains (offset in employee benefits expense), and higher net gains from debt securities, partially offset by lower net realized gains from nonmarketable equity securities.
Table 3a
presents results for our deferred compensation plan and related investments. The decrease in OTTI in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was predominantly driven by a $214 million impairment related to the sale of our ownership stake in The Rock Creek Group, LP (RockCreek) in second quarter of
2018
.
Lease
income was
$402 million
and
$1.3 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$453 million
and
$1.4 billion
for the same periods a year ago. The decreases in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same periods a year ago, were driven by lower equipment lease income.
All
other income was
$1.4 billion
and
$2.3 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$466 million
and
$1.2 billion
for the same periods a year ago. All other income includes hedge accounting results related to hedges of foreign currency risk, the results of certain economic hedges, losses on low income housing tax credit investments, foreign currency adjustments, and income from investments accounted for under the equity method, any of which can cause decreases and net losses in other income.
The increase in all other income in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same periods a year ago, was predominantly driven by a
$1.1 billion
pre-tax gain on the sale of our IRT business. All other income also included
$302 million
and
$1.6 billion
of gains from the sales of purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with $638 million and $1.8 billion for the same periods a year ago. The increase in all other income in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, also included transition services fee income of $94 million associated with the reimbursement by the buyer of certain costs we incurred to administer IRT client assets pursuant to the IRT transition services agreement. The increase in all other income in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, also reflected a pre-tax gain from the sale of Business Payroll Services in first quarter 2019 and a loss related to the sale of certain assets and liabilities of Reliable Financial Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of Wells Fargo’s automobile financing business) in first quarter
2018
, partially offset by a pretax gain from the sale of Wells Fargo Shareowner Services in first quarter
2018
.

third quarter 2019
,
up
10%
from
$13.8 billion
a year ago, and
$42.6 billion
in the
first nine months of 2019
, down
1%
from the same period a year ago. The increase in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was predominantly due to higher operating losses, as well as higher salaries, commissions and incentive compensation expense, partially offset by lower employee benefits expense, core deposit and other intangibles expense, and FDIC and other deposit assessments expense. The decrease in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was predominantly due to lower core deposit and other intangibles expense, FDIC and other deposit assessments, and operating losses, partially offset by higher salaries, commission and incentive compensation, employee benefits, contract services, and advertising and promotion expenses.
Personnel expenses, which include salaries, commissions, incentive compensation, and employee benefits, were up
$329 million
, or
4%
, in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, and up
$930 million
, or
4%
, in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago. The increase in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same periods a year ago, was due to higher salaries driven by annual salary increases and the impact of staffing mix changes, as well as higher incentive compensation, partially offset by lower profit sharing expense and staffing levels. The increase in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, also reflected one additional payroll day in the quarter, partially offset by lower deferred compensation costs (offset in net gains from equity securities). The increase in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, also reflected higher deferred compensation costs (offset in net gains from equity securities).

Core deposit and other intangibles expense was down
$237 million
, or
90%
, in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, and down
$712 million
, or
90%
, in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, in each case due to lower amortization expense reflecting
13
the end of the 10-year amortization period on Wachovia intangibles.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and other deposit assessments were down
$243 million
, or
72%
, in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, and down
$561 million
, or
59%
, in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago. The decrease in both periods was due to the completion of the FDIC temporary surcharge, which ended September 30, 2018.
Outside professional and contract services expense was up
$118 million
, or
9%
, in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, and up
$119 million
, or
3%
in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, reflecting an increase in project spending, partially offset by lower legal expenses in both periods.
Operating losses were up
$1.3 billion
, or
217%
, in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, and down
$287 million
, or
11%
, in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago. The increase in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was due to higher litigation accruals, including a
$1.6 billion
discrete litigation accrual for previously disclosed retail sales practices matters, partially offset by lower remediation expense. The decrease in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, reflected lower remediation expense, partially offset by higher litigation accruals.
Advertising and promotion expense was up
$43 million
, or
19%
, in
third
quarter
2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, and up
$229 million
, or
38%
, in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, in each case due to increases in marketing and brand campaign volumes.
All other expense was up
$60 million
, or
13%
, in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, and down
$49 million
, or
3%
, in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago. The increase in
third quarter 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, was due to higher insurance premium payments, as well as higher donations expense. The decrease in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, included a state sales tax refund and higher gains on the sale of premises.
Our efficiency ratio was
69.1%
in
third quarter 2019
, compared with
62.7%
in
third
quarter
2018
.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective income tax rate was
22.1%
and
17.3%
for the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
20.1%
and
22.3%
for the same periods in
2018
. The rate for
third quarter 2019
reflected a net discrete income tax expense of
$443 million
predominantly related to the non-tax deductible treatment of the
$1.6 billion
discrete litigation accrual. The rate for the
first nine months of 2019
reflected the non-tax deductible treatment of the $1.6 billion discrete litigation accrual, partially offset by net discrete income tax benefits in first and second quarter
2019
related to the results of U.S. federal and state income tax examinations. The rate for
third quarter 2018
reflected net discrete income tax expense of $168 million primarily related to the re-measurement of our initial estimates for the impacts of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (the Tax Act) recognized in fourth quarter 2017. The rate for the
first nine months of 2018
reflected net discrete income tax expense related to state income taxes driven by the U.S. Supreme Court decision in
South Dakota v. Wayfair
as well as the non-tax deductible treatment of an
$800 million
discrete litigation accrual recorded as noninterest expense in first quarter
2018
.
Operating Segment Results
We are organized for management reporting purposes into three operating segments: Community Banking; Wholesale Banking; and Wealth and Investment Management (WIM). These segments are defined by product type and customer segment and their results are based on our management accounting process, for which there is no comprehensive, authoritative financial accounting guidance equivalent to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Table 4
and the following discussion present our results by operating segment. For additional description of our operating segments, including additional financial information and the underlying management accounting process, see Note 22 (Operating Segments) to Financial Statements in this Report.

NM – Not meaningful
(1)
Represents income on products and services for WIM customers served through Community Banking distribution channels which is offset in our WIM segment and eliminated in consolidation.
(2)
Includes syndication and underwriting fees paid to Wells Fargo Securities which are offset in our Wholesale Banking segment and eliminated in consolidation.
(3)
Mostly represents gains resulting from venture capital investments.
(4)
Reflects results attributable to noncontrolling interests predominantly associated with the Company’s consolidated venture capital investments.
Community Banking reported net income of
$1.0 billion
, down
$1.8 billion
, or
65%
, from
third quarter 2018
, and
$7.0 billion
for the
first nine months of 2019
, down
$256 million
, or
4%
, compared with the same period a year ago.
Revenue decreased
$577 million
, or
5%
, from
third quarter 2018
, due to lower net interest income, mortgage banking income, and gains on the sale of PCI mortgage loans, partially offset by higher net gains from equity securities. Revenue decreased
$658 million
, or
2%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
, due to lower net interest income, mortgage banking income, and trust and investment fees, partially offset by higher net gains from equity securities, other income, service charges on deposit accounts, card fees, and net gains from debt securities.
Noninterest income decreased
$8 million
from
third quarter 2018
, due to lower mortgage banking income and lower gains on the sale of PCI mortgage loans, partially offset by higher net gains from equity securities. Noninterest income increased
$138 million
, or
1%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
, due to higher net gains from equity securities, other income, service
charges on deposit accounts, card fees, and net gains from debt securities, partially offset by lower mortgage banking income and trust and investment fees.
The provision for credit losses increased
$61 million
from
third quarter 2018
and
$548 million
from the
first nine months of 2018
. The increase in the provision from
third quarter 2018
reflected an allowance build in third quarter 2019, compared with an allowance release in third quarter 2018. The increase in the provision from the
first nine months of 2018
reflected an allowance release in the
first nine months of 2018
reflecting an improvement in our outlook for 2017 hurricane-related losses.
Noninterest expense was
$8.8 billion
in
third quarter 2019
, up
$1.3 billion
, or
17%
, from
third quarter 2018
, and was
$23.7 billion
in the
first nine months of 2019
, up
$208 million
, or
1%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
. The increase in noninterest expense from
third quarter 2018
was predominantly due to higher operating losses reflecting litigation accruals for a variety of matters, including a
$1.6 billion
discrete litigation accrual for previously disclosed retail sales practices matters, as
15
well as higher personnel expense and outside professional services expense, partially offset by lower FDIC expense and core deposit and other intangibles amortization expense. The increase in noninterest expense from the
first nine months of 2018
was predominantly due to higher personnel expense and equipment expense, partially offset by lower core deposit and other intangibles amortization expense, FDIC expense, and operating losses.
Income tax expense decreased
$258 million
from
third quarter 2018
, driven by lower net income in
third quarter 2019
, partially offset by a net discrete income tax expense of
$443 million
in
third quarter 2019
predominantly related to the non-tax deductible treatment of a $1.6 billion discrete litigation accrual. Income tax expense decreased
$1.2 billion
from the
first nine months of 2018
, driven by lower net income and net discrete income tax benefits in the first nine months of 2019 related to the results of U.S. federal and state income tax examinations and the accounting for stock compensation activity, as well as net discrete income tax expense related to state income taxes in 2018, partially offset by a net discrete income tax expense in third quarter 2019 related to the $1.6 billion discrete litigation accrual.
Average loans of
$459.0 billion
in
third quarter 2019
were flat compared with
third quarter 2018
, and average loans of
$458.3 billion
in the
first nine months of 2019
decreased
$6.7 billion
, or
1%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
. The decline in average loans from the
first nine months of 2018
was due to lower junior lien mortgages, automobile loans, other revolving credit and installment loans, and commercial loans, partially offset by higher real estate 1-4 family first mortgage loans and credit card loans. Average deposits of
$789.7 billion
in
third quarter 2019
increased
$28.8 billion
, or
4%
, from
third quarter 2018
, and increased
$21.3 billion
, or
3%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
.

Earnings Performance (

Wholesale Banking reported net income of
$2.6 billion
in
third quarter 2019
, down
$207 million
, or
7%
, from
third quarter 2018
. In the
first nine months of 2019
, net income of
$8.2 billion
decreased
$158 million
, or
2%
, from the same period a year ago.
Revenue decreased
$362 million
, or
5%
, from
third quarter 2018
, predominantly due to lower net interest income. Revenue decreased
$662 million
, or
3%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
, predominantly due to lower net interest income as well as the gain related to the sale of Wells Fargo Shareowner Services in first quarter 2018.
Net interest income decreased
$344 million
, or
7%
, from
third quarter 2018
, as lower income on loans and lower income on trading and debt investments due to spread compression, as well as lower income on deposits related to lower rates, was partially offset by higher deposit balances. Net interest income decreased
$500 million
, or
4%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
, as lower income on trading and debt investments and lower income on loans due to spread compression was partially offset by higher average loan and investment balances as well as higher deposit related income based on the positive impact of higher interest rates.
Noninterest income decreased
$18 million
, or
1%
, from
third quarter 2018
, as lower other income and treasury management fees were partially offset by higher market sensitive revenue (consists of net gains from trading activities, debt securities and equity securities), commercial real estate brokerage commissions, investment banking fees, and mortgage banking fees. Noninterest income decreased
$162 million
, or
2%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
driven by the gain related to the sale of Wells Fargo Shareowner Services in first quarter 2018, lower treasury management fees related mostly to an increased earnings credit rate provided to customers and lower other income, partially offset by higher market sensitive revenue and higher mortgage banking fees.
The provision for credit losses increased
$66 million
from
third quarter 2018
, and increased
$284 million
from the
first nine months of 2018
.
Noninterest expense decreased
$46 million
, or
1%
, from
third quarter 2018
, and decreased
$523 million
, or
4%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
, due to lower FDIC, core deposit and other intangibles amortization, and lease expense (within other expense), partially offset by higher personnel expense. The decrease in noninterest expense in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, also reflected lower operating losses.
Average loans of
$474.3 billion
in
third quarter 2019
increased
$11.5 billion
, or
2%
, from
third quarter 2018
, and average loans of
$474.9 billion
in the
first nine months of 2019
increased
$10.7 billion
, or
2%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
, as growth in commercial and industrial loans was partially offset by lower commercial real estate loans. Average deposits of
$422.0 billion
in
third quarter 2019
increased
$8.4 billion
, or
2%
, from
third quarter 2018
driven by growth in Corporate Transactional and Commercial Real Estate. Average deposits of
$414.1 billion
in the
first nine months of 2019
decreased
$10.3 billion
, or
2%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
driven by declines across many businesses as commercial customers allocated more cash to alternative higher-rate liquid investments.

from
third quarter 2018
, driven by the
$1.1 billion
gain on the sale of our IRT business, partially offset by lower deferred compensation plan investments (offset in employee benefits expense). Noninterest income increased
$1.0 billion
from the
first nine months of 2018
, due to the
$1.1 billion
gain on the sale of our IRT business, the 2018 impairment on the sale of our ownership stake in RockCreek, and higher deferred compensation plan investments (offset in employee benefits expense), partially offset by lower asset-based fees and lower brokerage transactional revenue.
The provision for credit losses decreased
$3 million
from
third quarter 2018
and increased
$8 million
from the
first nine months of 2018
.
Noninterest expense increased
$188 million
, or
6%
, from
third quarter 2018
, driven by higher project and technology spending on regulatory and compliance related initiatives (within other expense), higher equipment expense including a

expense, and higher operating losses, partially offset by lower professional services expense, core deposit and other intangible amortization expense, and deferred compensation plan expense (offset in net gains from equity securities). Noninterest expense increased
$86 million
, or
1%
, from the
first nine months of 2018
, driven by higher other personnel expense, higher project and technology spending on regulatory and compliance related initiatives, higher deferred compensation plan expense (offset in net gains from equity securities), and higher equipment expense including the $103 million impairment of capitalized software, partially offset by lower core deposit and other intangible amortization expense, broker commissions, and professional services expense.
Average loans of
$75.9 billion
in
third quarter 2019
and
$75.1 billion
in the
first nine months of 2019
increased
2%
and
1%
, respectively, from the same periods a year ago, driven by growth in nonconforming mortgage loans. Average deposits of
$142.4 billion
in
third quarter 2019
and
$146.3 billion
in the
first nine months of 2019
decreased
11%
and
13%
, respectively, from the same periods a year ago, as customers allocated more cash into higher yielding liquid alternatives.
The following discussions provide additional information for client assets we oversee in our retail brokerage advisory and trust and investment management business lines.
Retail Brokerage Client Assets
Brokerage advisory, commissions and other fees are received for providing full-service and discount brokerage services predominantly to retail brokerage clients. Offering advisory account relationships to our brokerage clients is an important component of our broader strategy of meeting their financial needs. Although a majority of our retail brokerage client assets are in accounts that earn brokerage commissions, the fees from those accounts generally represent transactional commissions based on the number and size of transactions executed at the client’s direction. Fees from advisory accounts are based on a percentage of the market value of the assets as of the beginning of the quarter, which vary across the account types based on the distinct services provided, and are affected by investment performance as well as asset inflows and outflows. A
majority
of our brokerage advisory, commissions and other fee income is earned from advisory accounts.
Table 4d
shows advisory account client assets as a percentage of total retail brokerage client assets at
September 30, 2019
and
2018

Retail Brokerage advisory accounts include assets that are financial advisor-directed and separately managed by third-party managers, as well as certain client-directed brokerage assets where we earn a fee for advisory and other services, but do not have investment discretion. For
third
quarter
2019
and
2018
, the
average fee rate by account type ranged from
80
to
120
basis points.

Trust and Investment Client Assets Under Management
We earn trust and investment management fees from managing and administering assets, including mutual funds, separate accounts, and personal trust assets, through our asset management and wealth businesses. Prior to the sale of our IRT business, which closed on July 1, 2019, we also earned fees from managing employee benefit trusts through the retirement business. Our asset management business is conducted by Wells Fargo Asset Management (WFAM), which offers Wells Fargo proprietary mutual funds and manages institutional separate accounts, and
our wealth business manages assets for high net worth clients. Substantially all of our trust and investment management fee income is earned from AUM where we have discretionary management authority over the investments and generate fees as a percentage of the market value of the AUM. For additional information on the sale of our IRT business, including its impact on our AUM, AUA and associated revenue and expenses, see the “Noninterest Income” section in this Report.

Balance Sheet Analysis
At
September 30, 2019
, our assets totaled
$1.94 trillion
,
up
$48.1 billion
from
December 31, 2018
. The asset growth was predominantly due to a
$22.8 billion
increase in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, an
$18.8 billion
increase in debt securities, a
$10.3 billion
increase in mortgage loans held for sale, an
$8.7 billion
increase in equity securities, and a
$9.9 billion
increase in other assets. This growth was partially offset by a
$24.6 billion
decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Liabilities totaled
$1.75 trillion
, up
$50.7 billion
from
December 31, 2018
. The increase in liabilities was predominantly due to a
$22.3 billion
increase in deposits, an
$18.1 billion
increase in short-term borrowings, and a
$7.2 billion
increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities. Total equity
decreased
by
$2.7 billion
from
December 31, 2018
, predominantly due to a
$14.6 billion
increase in treasury stock, partially offset by a
$4.7 billion
increase in cumulative other comprehensive income driven predominantly by the increase in fair value of available-for-sale debt securities, and a
$8.2 billion
increase in retained earnings, net of dividends paid.
The following discussion provides additional information about the major components of our balance sheet. Information regarding our capital and changes in our asset mix is included in the “Earnings Performance – Net Interest Income” and “Capital Management” sections and Note 23 (Regulatory and Agency Capital Requirements) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Available-for-sale debt securities are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Held-to-maturity debt securities are carried on the balance sheet at amortized cost.
Table 5
presents a summary of our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, which
increased
$9.7 billion
in balance sheet carrying value from
December 31, 2018
, predominantly due to a net increase in federal agency mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by a net decrease in collateralized loan and other debt obligations.
The total net unrealized
gains
on available-for-sale debt securities were
$3.1 billion
at
September 30, 2019
,
up
from net unrealized
losses
of
$2.6 billion
at
December 31, 2018
, primarily due to lower U.S. interest rates. For a discussion of our investment management objectives and practices, see the “Balance Sheet Analysis” section in our
2018
Form 10-K. Also, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management” section in this Report for information on our use of investments to manage liquidity and interest rate risk.
We analyze debt securities for OTTI quarterly or more often if a potential loss-triggering event occurs. In the
first nine months of 2019
, we recognized
$58 million
of OTTI write-downs on debt securities. For a discussion of our OTTI accounting policies and underlying considerations and analysis, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our
2018
Form 10-K and Note 5 (Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities) to Financial Statements in this Report.
At
September 30, 2019
, debt securities included
$53.2 billion
of municipal bonds, of which
96.7%
were rated “A-” or better based
predominantly
on external and, in some cases, internal ratings. Additionally, some of the debt securities in our total municipal bond portfolio are guaranteed against loss by bond insurers. These guaranteed bonds are
predominantly
investment grade and were generally underwritten in accordance with our own investment standards prior to the determination to purchase, without relying on the bond insurer’s guarantee in making the investment decision. The credit quality of our municipal bond holdings are monitored as part of our ongoing impairment analysis.
The weighted-average expected remaining maturity of debt securities available-for-sale was
4.6
years at
September 30, 2019
. The expected remaining maturity is shorter than the remaining contractual maturity for the
64%
of this portfolio that is mortgage-backed securities (MBS) because borrowers generally have the right to prepay obligations before the underlying mortgages mature. The estimated effects of a 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on the fair value and the expected remaining maturity of the MBS available-for-sale portfolio are shown in
Table 6
.

. HTM debt securities are measured at amortized cost and, therefore, changes in the fair value of our held-to-maturity MBS resulting from changes in interest rates are not recognized in our financial results.

Balance Sheet Analysis (

Loan Portfolios
Table 7
provides a summary of total outstanding loans by portfolio segment. Total loans increased
$1.8 billion
from
December 31, 2018
, due to an increase in consumer loans. Consumer loans were up
$2.9 billion
from
December 31, 2018
, predominantly due to growth in the real estate 1-4 family first mortgage and automobile loan portfolios, partially offset by the
sale of
$4.0 billion
of Pick-a-Pay PCI loans, the reclassification of
$1.9 billion
of real estate 1-4 family first mortgage loans to MLHFS, and a decline in junior lien mortgage loans as paydowns continued to exceed originations in the first nine months of 2019. Commercial loans were down
$1.1 billion
from
December 31, 2018
, as growth in our credit investment portfolio was more than offset by declines across several commercial businesses.

Deposits
Deposits were
$1.3 trillion
at
September 30, 2019
,
up
$22.3 billion
from
December 31, 2018
, due to an increase in mortgage escrow deposits reflecting an inflow of higher mortgage payoffs to be remitted to investors in accordance with servicing contracts, higher commercial deposits, and higher consumer and small business banking deposits, partially offset by a decrease in other time deposits. The increase in commercial deposits was due to higher balances in commercial real estate deposits, partially offset by declines in commercial banking, and
corporate and investment banking deposits. The increase in consumer and small business banking deposits was due to higher balances in certificates of deposit (CDs), high-yield savings, and noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by declines in brokerage sweeps and interest checking.
Table 9
provides additional information regarding deposits. Information regarding the impact of deposits on net interest income and a comparison of average deposit balances is provided in the “Earnings Performance – Net Interest Income” section and Table 1 earlier in this Report.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. See the “Critical Accounting Policies” section in our
2018
Form 10-K and Note 16 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) to Financial Statements in this Report for a description of our critical accounting policy related to fair value of financial instruments and a discussion of our fair value measurement techniques.
Table 10
presents the summary of the fair value of financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, and the amounts measured using significant Level 3 inputs (before derivative netting adjustments). The fair value of the remaining assets and liabilities were measured using valuation methodologies involving market-based or market-derived information (collectively Level 1 and 2 measurements).

Equity
Total equity was
$194.4 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$197.1 billion
at
December 31, 2018
. The
decrease
was driven by a
$14.6 billion
increase in treasury stock, partially offset by a
$4.7 billion
increase in cumulative other comprehensive income driven by a decrease in U.S. interest rates resulting in an increase in the value of available-for-sale debt securities, and a
$8.2 billion
increase in retained earnings net of dividends paid.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business, we engage in financial transactions that are not recorded on the balance sheet, or may be recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. Our off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to lend and purchase debt and equity securities, transactions with unconsolidated entities, guarantees, derivatives, and other commitments. These transactions are designed to (1) meet the financial needs of customers, (2) manage our credit, market or liquidity risks, and/or (3) diversify our funding sources.
Commitments to Lend and Purchase Debt and Equity Securities
We enter into commitments to lend funds to customers, which are usually at a stated interest rate, if funded, and for specific purposes and time periods. When we make commitments, we are exposed to credit risk. However, the maximum credit risk for these commitments will generally be lower than the contractual amount because a significant portion of these commitments are not funded. For more information on lending commitments, see Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report. We also enter into commitments to purchase securities under resale agreements. For more information on commitments to purchase securities under resale agreements, see Note 13 (Guarantees, Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments) to Financial Statements in this Report. We also may enter into commitments to purchase debt and equity securities to provide capital for customers’ funding, liquidity or other future needs. For more information, see the “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – Contractual Cash Obligations” section in our
2018
Form 10-K and Note 13 (Guarantees, Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Transactions with Unconsolidated Entities
In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with special purpose entities (SPEs), which are corporations, trusts, limited liability companies or partnerships that are established for a limited purpose. Generally, SPEs are formed in connection with securitization transactions and are considered variable interest entities (VIEs). For more information on securitizations, including sales proceeds and cash flows from securitizations, see Note 10 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Guarantees and Certain Contingent Arrangements
Guarantees are contracts that contingently require us to make payments to a guaranteed party based on an event or a change in an underlying asset, liability, rate or index. Guarantees are generally in the form of standby letters of credit, securities lending and other indemnifications, written put options, recourse obligations and other types of similar arrangements. For more information on guarantees and certain contingent arrangements, see Note 13 (Guarantees, Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Derivatives
We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, and volume can be measured in terms of the notional amount, which is generally not exchanged but is used only as the basis on which interest and other payments are determined. The notional amount is not recorded on the balance sheet and is not, when viewed in isolation, a meaningful measure of the risk profile of the instruments. For more information on derivatives, see Note 15 (Derivatives) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Risk Management
Wells Fargo manages a variety of risks that can significantly affect our financial performance and our ability to meet the expectations of our customers, shareholders, regulators and other stakeholders. We operate under a Board approved risk management framework which outlines our company-wide approach to risk management and oversight and describes the structures and practices employed to manage current and emerging risks inherent to Wells Fargo. For more information about how we manage risk, see the “Risk Management” section in our 2018 Form 10-K. The discussion that follows supplements our discussion of the management of certain risks contained in the “Risk Management” section in our 2018 Form 10-K.
Credit Risk Management
We define credit risk as the risk of loss associated with a borrower or counterparty default (failure to meet obligations in accordance with agreed upon terms). Credit risk exists with many of our assets and exposures such as debt security holdings, certain derivatives, and loans.
The Board’s Credit Committee has primary oversight responsibility for credit risk. At the management level, the Corporate Credit function, which is part of Corporate Risk, has primary oversight responsibility for credit risk. The Corporate Credit function reports to the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and also provides periodic reporting related to credit risk to the Board’s Credit Committee. In addition, the Risk & Control Committee for each business group and enterprise function reports credit risk matters to the Enterprise Risk & Control Committee.
The following discussion focuses on our loan portfolios, which represent the largest component of assets on our balance sheet for which we have credit risk.

We manage our credit risk by establishing what we believe are sound credit policies for underwriting new business, while monitoring and reviewing the performance of our existing loan portfolios. We employ various credit risk management and monitoring activities to mitigate risks associated with multiple
risk factors affecting loans we hold, could acquire or originate including:
•
Loan concentrations and related credit quality
•
Counterparty credit risk
•
Economic and market conditions
•
Legislative or regulatory mandates
•
Changes in interest rates
•
Merger and acquisition activities
•
Reputation risk
Our credit risk management oversight process is governed centrally, but provides for decentralized management and accountability by our lines of business. Our overall credit process includes comprehensive credit policies, disciplined credit underwriting, frequent and detailed risk measurement and modeling, extensive credit training programs, and a continual loan review and audit process.
A key to our credit risk management is adherence to a well-controlled underwriting process, which we believe is appropriate for the needs of our customers as well as investors who purchase the loans or securities collateralized by the loans.
Credit Quality Overview
Solid
credit quality continued in
third quarter 2019
, as our net charge-off rate remained low at
0.27%
(annualized) of average total loans.
Third
quarter
2019
results reflected:
•
Nonaccrual loans were
$5.5 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, down from
$6.5 billion
at
December 31, 2018
, predominantly due to sales of residential real estate mortgage loans as well as the reclassification of
$387 million
of real estate 1-4 family mortgage nonaccrual loans to MLHFS during the first nine months of 2019. Commercial nonaccrual loans
increased
to
$2.3 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$2.2 billion
at
December 31, 2018
, and consumer nonaccrual loans
declined
to
$3.2 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$4.3 billion
at
December 31, 2018
. Nonaccrual loans represented
0.58%
of total loans at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
0.68%
at
December 31, 2018
.
•
Net charge-offs (annualized) as a percentage of our average commercial and consumer loan portfolios were
0.11%
and
0.46%
in
third
quarter
2019
and
0.12%
and
0.47%
in the
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
0.12%
and
0.47%
in
third
quarter 2018 and
0.08%
and
0.52%
in the
first nine months of 2018
.
•
Loans that are not government insured/guaranteed and 90 days or more past due and still accruing were
$34 million
and
$788 million
in our commercial and consumer portfolios, respectively, at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$94 million
and
$885 million
at
December 31, 2018
.
•
Our provision for credit losses was
$695 million
and
$2.0 billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with
$580 million
and
$1.2 billion
for the same periods a year ago. The increase in provision for credit losses in
third
quarter 2019, compared with the same period a year ago, reflected loan growth, primarily in the credit card portfolio. The increase in the
first nine months of 2019
, compared with the same period a year ago, primarily reflected an allowance release in first quarter 2018 due to improvement in our outlook for 2017 hurricane-related losses.
26
•
The allowance for credit losses totaled
$10.6 billion
, or
1.11%
of total loans, at
September 30, 2019
, down from
$10.7 billion
, or
1.12%
, at
December 31, 2018
.
Additional information on our loan portfolios and our credit quality trends follows.
PURCHASED CREDIT-IMPAIRED (PCI) LOANS
Loans acquired with evidence of credit deterioration since their origination and where it is probable that we will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments are PCI loans. A nonaccretable difference is established for PCI loans to absorb losses expected on the contractual amounts of those loans. Amounts absorbed by the nonaccretable difference do not affect the income statement or the allowance for credit losses. The carrying value of PCI loans at
September 30, 2019
, totaled
$607 million
, compared with
$5.0 billion
at
December 31, 2018
. The decline in carrying value was due to the sale of
$4.0 billion
of PCI loans, predominantly Pick-a-Pay, in the
first nine months of 2019
and paydowns.
For additional information on PCI loans, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Real Estate 1-4 Family First and Junior Lien Mortgage Loans – Pick-a-Pay Portfolio” section in this Report, Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our
2018
Form 10-K, and Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Significant Loan Portfolio Reviews
Measuring and monitoring our credit risk is an ongoing process that tracks delinquencies, collateral values, Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores, economic trends by geographic areas, loan-level risk grading for certain portfolios (typically commercial) and other indications of credit risk. Our credit risk monitoring process is designed to enable early identification of developing risk and to support our determination of an appropriate allowance for credit losses. The following discussion provides additional characteristics and analysis of our significant portfolios. See Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report for more analysis and credit metric information for each of the following portfolios.
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LOANS AND LEASE FINANCING
For purposes of portfolio risk management, we aggregate commercial and industrial loans and lease financing according to market segmentation and standard industry codes. We generally subject commercial and industrial loans and lease financing to individual risk assessment using our internal borrower and collateral quality ratings. Our ratings are aligned to regulatory definitions of pass and criticized categories with criticized segmented among special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss categories.
The commercial and industrial loans and lease financing portfolio totaled
$370.5 billion
, or
39%
of total loans, at
September 30, 2019
. The net charge-off rate (annualized) for this portfolio was
0.17%
in both the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, compared with
0.17%
and
0.12%
for the same periods a year ago. At both
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
,
0.43%
of this portfolio was nonaccruing. Nonaccrual loans
increased
$35 million
from
December 31, 2018
, due to a customer in the utilities industry, as well as increases in the oil, gas and pipelines portfolio, partially offset by improvement across various industry categories. At
September 30, 2019
,
$16.2 billion
of commercial and industrial loan and lease financing loans were internally classified as criticized in accordance with regulatory guidance, compared with
$15.8 billion
at
December 31, 2018
.
Most of our commercial and industrial loans and lease financing portfolio is secured by short-term assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory and debt securities, as well as long-lived assets, such as equipment and other business assets. Generally, the collateral securing this portfolio represents a secondary source of repayment.
Table 12
provides our commercial and industrial loans and lease financing by industry, and includes foreign loans of
$65.6 billion
and
$63.7 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. Significant industry concentrations of foreign loans include
$28.1 billion
and
$25.6 billion
in the financials except banks category,
$17.6 billion
and
$18.1 billion
in the banks category, and
$1.3 billion
and
$1.2 billion
in the oil, gas and pipelines category at
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. The industry categories were updated in 2019, to align with industry groupings that our regulators use to monitor industry concentration risks.
Loans to financials except banks, our largest industry concentration, were
$111.3 billion
, or
12%
of total outstanding loans, at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$105.9 billion
, or
11%
of total outstanding loans, at
December 31, 2018
. These are predominantly loans to investment firms, financial vehicles, and non-bank creditors. A significant portion of this industry category consists of loans to entities that invest in financial assets backed predominantly by commercial or residential real estate or consumer loan assets and are repaid from asset cash flows or the sale of the assets. We limit our loan amounts to a percentage of the value of the underlying assets considering underlying credit risk, asset duration, and ongoing performance.
Oil, gas and pipelines loans were
$13.6 billion
, or
1%
of total outstanding loans, at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$12.8 billion
, or
1%
of total outstanding loans, at
December 31, 2018
. Oil, gas and pipelines nonaccrual loans
increased
to
$552 million
at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$417 million
at
December 31, 2018
, due to weaker portfolio credit performance.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE (CRE)
We generally subject CRE loans to individual risk assessment using our internal borrower and collateral quality ratings. Our ratings are aligned to regulatory definitions of pass and criticized categories with criticized segmented among special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss categories. The CRE portfolio, which included
$8.3 billion
of foreign loans, totaled
$141.9 billion
, or
15%
of total loans, at
September 30, 2019
, and consisted of
$121.9 billion
of mortgage loans and
$19.9 billion
of construction loans.
Table 13
summarizes CRE loans by state and property type with the related nonaccrual totals. The portfolio is diversified both geographically and by property type. The largest geographic
concentrations of CRE loans are in California, New York, Florida and Texas, which combined represented
49%
of the total CRE portfolio. By property type, the largest concentrations are office buildings at
26%
and apartments at
17%
of the portfolio. CRE nonaccrual loans totaled
0.5%
of the CRE outstanding balance at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
0.4%
at
December 31, 2018
. At
September 30, 2019
, we had
$3.7 billion
of criticized CRE mortgage loans, compared with
$4.5 billion
at
December 31, 2018
, and
$201 million
of criticized CRE construction loans, compared with
$289 million

FOREIGN LOANS AND COUNTRY RISK EXPOSURE
We classify loans as foreign primarily based on whether the borrower’s primary address is outside of the United States. At
September 30, 2019
, foreign loans totaled
$74.3 billion
, representing approximately
8%
of our total consolidated loans outstanding, compared with
$71.9 billion
, or approximately
8%
of total consolidated loans outstanding, at
December 31, 2018
. Foreign loans were approximately
4%
of our consolidated total assets at both
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
.
Our country risk monitoring process incorporates frequent dialogue with our financial institution customers, counterparties and regulatory agencies, enhanced by centralized monitoring of macroeconomic and capital markets conditions in the respective countries. We establish exposure limits for each country through a centralized oversight process based on customer needs, and in consideration of relevant economic, political, social, legal, and transfer risks. We monitor exposures closely and adjust our country limits in response to changing conditions.
We evaluate our individual country risk exposure based on our assessment of the borrower’s ability to repay, which gives consideration for allowable transfers of risk such as guarantees and collateral and may be different from the reporting based on the borrower’s primary address. Our largest single foreign country exposure at
September 30, 2019
, was the United Kingdom, which totaled
$27.3 billion
, or approximately
1%
of our total assets, and included
$3.3 billion
of sovereign claims. Our United Kingdom sovereign claims arise predominantly from deposits we have placed with the Bank of England pursuant to regulatory requirements in support of our London branch. The United Kingdom officially announced its intention to leave the European Union (Brexit) on March 29, 2017, and the negotiation process leading to its departure has been extended several times. We continue to implement plans for Brexit with our primary goal to continue to serve our existing clients in the United Kingdom and the European Union as well as to continue to meet the needs of our domestic clients as they do business in the United Kingdom and the European Union. We have an existing authorized bank in Ireland and an asset management entity in Luxembourg. We also have established a broker dealer in France. We plan to leverage these entities in order to continue to serve clients in the European Union. In addition, we are implementing actions where possible to mitigate the impact of Brexit on our supplier contracts, staffing and business operations in the European Union. For additional information on risks associated with Brexit, see the “Risk Factors” section in our 2018 Form 10-K.
Table 14
provides information regarding our top 20 exposures by country (excluding the United States) and our Eurozone exposure, based on our assessment of risk, which gives consideration to the country of any guarantors and/or underlying collateral. With respect to
Table 14
:
•
Lending exposure includes outstanding loans, unfunded credit commitments, and deposits with foreign banks. These balances are presented prior to the deduction of allowance for credit losses or collateral received under the terms of the credit agreements, if any.
•
Securities exposure represents debt and equity securities of foreign issuers. Long and short positions are netted, and net short positions are reflected as negative exposure.
•
Derivatives and other exposure represents foreign exchange contracts, derivative contracts, securities resale agreements, and securities lending agreements. This exposure is presented net of counterparty netting adjustments and reduced by the amount of cash collateral, if any. It includes credit default swaps (CDS) predominantly used for market making activities in the U.S.-based trading businesses, which sometimes results in selling and purchasing protection on the identical reference entities. Generally, we do not use market instruments such as CDS to hedge the credit risk of our investments or loan positions, although we do use them to manage risk in our trading businesses. At
September 30, 2019
, the gross notional amount of our CDS sold that reference assets in the Top 20 or Eurozone countries that contain non-sovereign debt was
$297 million
, which was offset by the notional amount of CDS purchased of
$477 million
. At
September 30, 2019
, the gross notional amount of our CDS sold that reference assets in the Top 20 or Eurozone countries that contain sovereign debt was
$410 million
, which was offset by the notional amount of CDS purchased of
$390 million
.

The real estate 1-4 family mortgage loan portfolio includes some loans with adjustable-rate features and some with an interest-only feature as part of the loan terms. Interest-only loans were approximately
3%
and
4%
of total loans at
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. We believe we have manageable adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) reset risk across our owned mortgage loan portfolios. We do not offer option ARM products, nor do we offer variable-rate mortgage products with fixed payment amounts, commonly referred to within the financial services industry as negative amortizing mortgage loans. The option ARMs we do have are included in the Pick-a-Pay portfolio which was acquired from Wachovia. For more information, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Real Estate 1-4 Family First and Junior Lien Mortgage Loans – Pick-a-Pay Portfolio” section in this Report.
We continue to modify real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans to assist homeowners and other borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. For more information on our modification programs, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Real Estate 1-4 Family First and Junior Lien Mortgage Loans” section in our
2018
Form 10-K.
Part of our credit monitoring includes tracking delinquency, current FICO scores and loan/combined loan to collateral values (LTV/CLTV) on the entire real estate 1-4 family mortgage loan portfolio. These credit risk indicators on the non-PCI mortgage portfolio exclude government insured/guaranteed loans. Loans 30 days or more delinquent at
September 30, 2019
, totaled
$3.2 billion
, or
1%
of total non-PCI mortgages, compared with
$4.0 billion
, or
1%
, at
December 31, 2018
. Loans with FICO scores lower than 640 totaled
$7.9 billion
, or
2%
of total non-PCI mortgages at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$9.7 billion
, or
3%
, at
December 31, 2018
. Mortgages with a LTV/CLTV greater than 100% totaled
$2.8 billion
at

, or
1%
of total non-PCI mortgages, compared with
$3.9 billion
, or

. Information regarding credit quality indicators can be found in Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Real estate 1-4 family first and junior lien mortgage loans by state are presented in
Table 16
. Our real estate 1-4 family non-PCI mortgage loans to borrowers in California represented
13%
of total loans at
September 30, 2019
, located
predominantly
within the larger metropolitan areas, with no single California metropolitan area consisting of more than
5%
of total loans. We monitor changes in real estate values and underlying economic or market conditions for all geographic areas of our real estate 1-4 family first and junior lien mortgage portfolios as part of our credit risk management process. Our underwriting and periodic review of loans and lines secured by residential real estate collateral includes original appraisals adjusted for the change in Home Price Index (HPI) or estimates from automated valuation models (AVMs) to support property values. Additional information about appraisals and AVMs and our policy for their use can be found in Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report and the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Real Estate 1-4 Family First and Junior Lien Mortgage Loans” section in our

First Lien Mortgage Portfolio
Our total real estate 1-4 family first lien mortgage portfolio increased
$4.2 billion
and
$5.5 billion
in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively. Mortgage loan originations of
$19.3 billion
and
$49.7 billion
in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, were partially offset by paydowns and
$510 million
and
$4.0 billion
of sales of PCI loans in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively. Also, in third quarter 2019, we purchased
$1.0 billion
of loans as a result of exercising servicer cleanup calls to terminate over 20 pre-2008 securitizations. In addition, in the first nine months of 2019, we reclassified
$1.9 billion
of existing mortgage loans to MLHFS in anticipation of future sales. We also designated
$576 million
and
$2.0 billion
of nonconforming mortgage loan originations as MLHFS in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, in anticipation of the issuance of residential mortgage-backed securities.
The credit performance associated with our real estate 1-4 family first lien mortgage portfolio remained strong in
third quarter 2019
, as measured through net charge-offs and nonaccrual loans. Net charge-offs (annualized) as a percentage of average real estate 1-4 family first lien mortgage loans was a net recovery of
0.01%
and
0.02%
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, compared with a net recovery of
0.04%
and
0.03%
for the same periods a year ago. Nonaccrual loans were
$2.3 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, down
$922 million
from
December 31, 2018
. The decrease in nonaccrual loans from
December 31, 2018
was driven by the reclassification of nonaccrual loans to MLHFS in anticipation of future sales, nonaccrual loan sales, and a reduction in inflows due to credit stabilization.

Pick-a-Pay Portfolio
The Pick-a-Pay portfolio was one of the consumer residential first lien mortgage portfolios we acquired from Wachovia. The Pick-a-Pay portfolio is included in the consumer real estate 1-4 family first mortgage class of loans throughout this Report. Pick-a-Pay option payment loans may
have fixed or adjustable rates with payment options that include a minimum payment, an interest-only payment or fully amortizing payment (both 15 and 30 year options).
Table 18

Adjusted unpaid principal balance includes write-downs taken on loans where severe delinquency (normally 180 days) or other indications of severe borrower financial stress exist that indicate there will be a loss of contractually due amounts upon final resolution of the loan.
Our Pick-a-Pay portfolio included PCI loans with a carrying value of
$551 million
at
September 30, 2019
, compared with
$4.9 billion
at
December 31, 2018
. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, we sold
$508 million
and
$4.0 billion
, respectively, of Pick-a-Pay PCI loans that resulted in gains of
$244 million
and
$1.6 billion
, respectively. The accretable yield balance of our Pick-a-Pay PCI loan portfolio was
$133 million
(
$232 million
for all PCI loans) at
September 30, 2019
, compared with $2.8 billion (
$3.0 billion
for all PCI loans) at
December 31, 2018
. The estimated weighted-average life was approximately
5.1
years and
5.5
years at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. The accretable yield percentage for Pick-a-Pay PCI loans for
third quarter 2019
was
12.24%
, and we expect the percentage to
decrease
to approximately
11.69%
for fourth quarter 2019.

Risk Management - Credit Risk Management
(continued)
Junior Lien Mortgage Portfolio
The junior lien mortgage portfolio consists of residential mortgage lines and loans that are subordinate in rights to an existing lien on the same property. It is not unusual for these lines and loans to have draw periods, interest-only payments, balloon payments, adjustable rates and similar features. Junior lien loan products are
mostly
amortizing payment loans with fixed interest rates and repayment periods between five to 30 years.
We continuously monitor the credit performance of our junior lien mortgage portfolio for trends and factors that influence the frequency and severity of loss. We have observed that the severity of loss for junior lien mortgages is high and generally not affected by whether we or a third party own or service the related first lien mortgage, but the frequency of delinquency is typically lower when we own or service the first lien mortgage. In general, we have limited information available on the delinquency status of the third party owned or serviced first lien where we also hold a junior lien. To capture this inherent loss content, our allowance process for junior lien mortgages considers the relative difference in loss experience for junior lien mortgages behind first lien mortgage loans we own or service, compared with those behind first lien mortgage loans owned or
serviced by third parties. In addition, our allowance process for junior lien mortgages considers the inherent loss where the borrower is delinquent on the corresponding first lien mortgage loans.
Table 19
shows certain delinquency and loss information for the junior lien mortgage portfolio and lists the top five states by outstanding balance. The decrease in outstanding balances since
December 31, 2018
,
predominantly
reflects loan paydowns. As of
September 30, 2019
,
5%
of the outstanding balance of the junior lien mortgage portfolio was associated with loans that had a combined loan to value (CLTV) ratio in excess of 100%. Of those junior lien mortgages with a CLTV ratio in excess of 100%,
3%
were 30 days or more past due. CLTV means the ratio of the total loan balance of first lien mortgages and junior lien mortgages (including unused line amounts for credit line products) to property collateral value. The unsecured portion (the outstanding amount that was in excess of the most recent property collateral value) of the outstanding balances of these loans totaled
2%
of the junior lien mortgage portfolio at
September 30, 2019
. For additional information on consumer loans by LTV/CLTV, see
Table 6.12
in Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Our junior lien, as well as first lien, lines of credit portfolios generally have draw periods of 10, 15 or 20 years with variable interest rate and payment options available during the draw period of (1) interest only or (2) 1.5% of outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest. As of
September 30, 2019
, lines of credit in a draw period
primarily
used the interest-only option. During the draw period, the borrower has the option of converting all or a portion of the line from a variable interest rate to a fixed rate with terms including interest-only payments for a fixed period between three to seven years or a fully amortizing payment with a fixed period between five to 30 years. At the end of the draw period, a line of credit generally converts to an amortizing payment schedule with repayment terms of up to 30 years based on the balance at time of conversion. Certain lines and loans have been structured with a balloon payment, which requires full repayment of the outstanding balance at the end of the term period. The conversion of lines or loans to fully amortizing or balloon payoff may result in a significant payment increase, which can affect some borrowers’ ability to repay the outstanding balance.
On a monthly basis, we monitor the payment characteristics of borrowers in our first and junior lien lines of credit portfolios. In
September
2019
, approximately
46%
of these borrowers paid only the minimum amount due and approximately
50%
paid more than the minimum amount due. The rest were either delinquent or paid less than the minimum amount due. For the borrowers with an interest only payment feature, approximately
32%
paid only the minimum amount due and approximately
63%
paid more than the minimum amount due.
The lines that enter their amortization period may experience higher delinquencies and higher loss rates than the ones in their draw or term period. We have considered this increased inherent risk in our allowance for credit loss estimate.
In anticipation of our borrowers reaching the end of their contractual commitment, we have created a program to inform, educate and help these borrowers transition from interest-only to fully-amortizing payments or full repayment. We monitor the performance of the borrowers moving through the program in an effort to refine our ongoing program strategy.
Table 20
reflects the outstanding balance of our portfolio of junior lien mortgages, including lines and loans, and first lien lines segregated into scheduled end of draw or end of term periods and products that are currently amortizing, or in balloon repayment status. It excludes real estate 1-4 family first lien line reverse mortgages, which total
$88 million
, because they are
predominantly
insured by the FHA, and it excludes PCI loans, which total
$29 million
, because their losses were generally reflected in our nonaccretable difference established at the date of acquisition. At
September 30, 2019
,
$523 million
, or
2%
, of lines in their draw period were 30 days or more past due, compared with
$412 million
, or
4%
, of amortizing lines of credit. Included in the amortizing amounts in
Table 20
is
$47 million
of end-of-term balloon payments which were past due. The unfunded credit commitments for junior and first lien lines totaled
$59.2 billion
at
September 30, 2019

Substantially all
lines and loans are scheduled to convert to amortizing loans by the end of 2028, with annual scheduled amounts through 2028 ranging from
$2.0 billion
to
$5.1 billion
and averaging
$3.4 billion
per year.
CREDIT CARDS
Our credit card portfolio totaled
$39.6 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, which represented
4%
of our total outstanding loans. The net charge-off rate (annualized) for our credit card portfolio was
3.22%
in both
third quarter 2019
and
2018
, and
3.54%
and
3.50%
for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.
AUTOMOBILE
Our automobile portfolio, predominantly composed of indirect loans, totaled
$46.7 billion
at
September 30, 2019
. The net charge-off rate (annualized) for our automobile portfolio was
0.65%
for
third quarter 2019
, compared with
1.10%
for
third quarter 2018
and
0.64%
and
1.23%
for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decreases in the net charge-off rate in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, compared with the same periods in 2018, were driven by lower early losses on higher quality originations.
OTHER REVOLVING CREDIT AND INSTALLMENT
Other revolving credit and installment loans, which consist primarily of student loans and securities-based loans, totaled
$34.8 billion
at
September 30, 2019
. Our private student loan portfolio totaled
$10.8 billion
at
September 30, 2019
. The net charge-off rate (annualized) for other revolving credit and installment loans was
1.60%
for
third quarter 2019
, compared with
1.44%
for
third quarter 2018
and
1.54%
and
1.49%
for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS (NONACCRUAL LOANS AND FORECLOSED ASSETS)
Table 21
summarizes nonperforming assets (NPAs) for each of the last four quarters. Total NPAs
decreased
$317 million
from
second
quarter 2019 to
$6.0 billion
. Nonaccrual loans
decreased
$377 million
from
second
quarter 2019 to
$5.5 billion
, due to broad-based improvement across several commercial and consumer loan categories as well as sales of nonaccrual residential real estate mortgage loans. Foreclosed assets of
$437 million
were
up
$60 million
from
second
quarter 2019.
For information about when we generally place loans on nonaccrual status, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K. Credit card loans are not placed on nonaccrual status, but are generally fully charged off when the loan reaches 180 days past due. For additional information on impaired loans, see Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Excludes PCI loans because they continue to earn interest income from accretable yield, independent of performance in accordance with their contractual terms.
(2)
Real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans predominantly insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA are not placed on nonaccrual status because they are insured or guaranteed.
(3)
Consistent with regulatory reporting requirements, foreclosed real estate resulting from government insured/guaranteed loans are classified as nonperforming. Both principal and interest related to these foreclosed real estate assets are collectible because the loans were predominantly insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA. Receivables related to the foreclosure of certain government guaranteed residential real estate mortgage loans are excluded from this table and included in Accounts Receivable in Other Assets. For more information on foreclosed assets, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our

Typically, changes to nonaccrual loans period-over-period represent inflows for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status in accordance with our policy, offset by reductions for loans that are paid down, charged off, sold, foreclosed, or are no longer classified as nonaccrual as a result of continued performance and an improvement in the borrower’s financial condition and loan repayment capabilities.
While nonaccrual loans are not free of loss content, we believe exposure to loss is significantly mitigated by the following factors at
September 30, 2019
:
•
85%
of total commercial nonaccrual loans and
99%
of total consumer nonaccrual loans are secured. Of the consumer nonaccrual loans,
95%
are secured by real estate and
87%
have a combined LTV (CLTV) ratio of 80% or less.
•
losses of
$289 million
and
$1.0 billion
have already been recognized on
17%
of commercial nonaccrual loans and
36%
of consumer nonaccrual loans, respectively, in accordance with our charge-off policies. Once we write down loans to the net realizable value (fair value of collateral less estimated costs to sell), we re-evaluate each loan regularly and record additional write-downs if needed.
•
62%
of commercial nonaccrual loans were current on interest and
53%
were current on both principal and interest, but were on nonaccrual status because the full or timely collection of interest or principal had become uncertain.
•
of the
$1.4 billion
of consumer loans in bankruptcy or discharged in bankruptcy, and classified as nonaccrual,
$1.0 billion
were current.
•
the remaining risk of loss of all nonaccrual loans has been considered and we believe is adequately covered by the allowance for loan losses.
We continue to work with our customers experiencing financial difficulty to determine if they can qualify for a loan modification so that they can stay in their homes. Under our proprietary modification programs, customers may be required to provide updated documentation, and some programs require completion of payment during trial periods to demonstrate sustained performance before the loan can be removed from nonaccrual status.

Table 24
provides information regarding the recorded investment of loans modified in TDRs. The allowance for loan losses for TDRs was
$1.1 billion
and
$1.2 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. See Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report for additional information regarding TDRs. In those situations where principal is forgiven, the entire amount of such forgiveness is immediately charged off. When we delay the timing on the repayment of a portion of principal (principal forbearance), we charge off the amount of forbearance if that amount is not considered fully collectible.
For more information on our nonaccrual policies when a restructuring is involved, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)” section in our
2018
Form 10-K.
Table 25
provides an analysis of the changes in TDRs. Loans modified more than once are reported as TDR inflows only in the period they are first modified. Other than resolutions such as foreclosures, sales and transfers to held for sale, we may remove loans held for investment from TDR classification, but only if they have been refinanced or restructured at market terms and qualify as new loans.
TDRs of
$12.1 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, decreased $3.5 billion from
December 31, 2018
, due to a reclassification of
$1.7 billion
in real estate 1-4 family first mortgage TDR loans to MLHFS, as well as paydowns.

Inflows include loans that modify, even if they resolve within the period, as well as gross advances on term loans that modified in a prior period and net advances on revolving TDRs that modified in a prior period.
(2)
Other outflows consist of normal amortization/accretion of loan basis adjustments and loans transferred to held-for-sale. Occasionally, loans that have been refinanced or restructured at market terms qualify as new loans, which are also included as other outflows.
(3)
Net change in trial modifications includes: inflows of new TDRs entering the trial payment period, net of outflows for modifications that either (i) successfully perform and enter into a permanent modification, or (ii) did not successfully perform according to the terms of the trial period plan and are subsequently charged-off, foreclosed upon or otherwise resolved.
41
LOANS 90 DAYS OR MORE PAST DUE AND STILL ACCRUING
Loans 90 days or more past due are still accruing if they are (1) well-secured and in the process of collection or (2) real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans or consumer loans exempt under regulatory rules from being classified as nonaccrual until later delinquency, usually 120 days past due. PCI loans are not included in past due and still accruing loans even when they are 90 days or more contractually past due. These PCI loans are considered to be accruing because they continue to earn interest from accretable yield, independent of performance in accordance with their contractual terms.
Excluding insured/guaranteed loans, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing at
September 30, 2019
, were down
$157 million
, or
16%
, from
December 31, 2018
, due to payoffs, other loss mitigation activities, and credit stabilization. Also,
fluctuations from quarter to quarter are influenced by seasonality.
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing whose repayments are predominantly insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA for mortgages were
$6.3 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, down from
$7.7 billion
at
December 31, 2018
, due to an improvement in delinquencies as well as a reduction in the portfolio.
Table 26
reflects non-PCI loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing by class for loans not government insured/guaranteed. For additional information on delinquencies by loan class, see Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Quarterly net charge-offs (recoveries) as a percentage of average respective loans are annualized.
Table 27
presents net charge-offs for
third quarter 2019
and the previous four quarters. Net charge-offs in
third quarter 2019
were
$645 million
(
0.27%
of average total loans outstanding), compared with
$680 million
(
0.29%
) in
third quarter 2018
.
The decrease in commercial net charge-offs from
third quarter 2018
was due to higher net recoveries in the commercial real estate portfolios. The decrease in consumer net charge-offs from the prior year was largely driven by lower net charge-offs in the automobile portfolio and higher net recoveries in the real estate 1-4 family junior lien mortgage portfolio, partially offset by increases in the real estate 1-4 family first mortgage and credit card portfolios.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses, which consists of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded credit commitments, is management’s estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and unfunded credit commitments at the balance sheet date, excluding loans carried at fair value. The detail of the changes in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment (including charge-offs and recoveries by loan class) is in Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.
We apply a disciplined process and methodology to establish our allowance for credit losses each quarter. This process takes into consideration many factors, including historical and forecasted loss trends, loan-level credit quality ratings and loan grade-specific characteristics. The process involves subjective and complex judgments. In addition, we review a variety of credit metrics and trends. These credit metrics and trends, however, do not solely determine the amount of the allowance as we use several analytical tools. Our estimation approach for the commercial portfolio reflects the estimated probability of default in accordance with the borrower’s financial strength, and the severity of loss in the event of default, considering the quality of any underlying collateral. Probability of default and severity at the time of default are statistically derived through historical observations of defaults and losses after default within each credit risk rating. Our estimation approach for the consumer portfolio uses forecasted losses that represent our best estimate of inherent loss based on historical experience, quantitative and other mathematical techniques. For additional information on our allowance for credit losses, see the “Critical Accounting Policies – Allowance for Credit Losses” section in our
2018
Form 10-K and Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.

In addition to the allowance for credit losses, there was
$427 million
at
September 30, 2019
, and
$480 million
at
December 31, 2018
, of nonaccretable difference to absorb losses on PCI loans of
$607 million
at
September 30, 2019
, and
$5.0 billion
at
December 31, 2018
. The allowance for credit losses is lower than otherwise would have been required without PCI loan accounting. As a result of PCI loans, certain ratios of the Company may not be directly comparable with credit-related metrics for other financial institutions. For additional information on PCI loans, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans” section and Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.
The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total nonaccrual loans may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to such factors as the mix of loan types in the portfolio, borrower credit strength and the value and marketability of collateral.
The allowance for credit losses
decreased
$94 million
, or
1%
, from
December 31, 2018
, driven by strong overall credit portfolio performance. Total provision for credit losses was
$695 million
in
third
quarter
2019
, compared with
$580 million
in
third
quarter 2018. The increase in the provision for credit losses in
third
quarter 2019, compared with the same period a year ago, was due to loan growth, primarily in the credit card portfolio.
We believe the allowance for credit losses of
$10.6 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, was appropriate to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, including unfunded credit commitments, at that date. The entire allowance is available to absorb credit losses inherent in the total loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses is subject to change and reflects existing factors as of the date of determination, including economic or market conditions and ongoing internal and external examination processes. Due to the sensitivity of the allowance for credit losses to changes in the economic and business environment, it is possible that we will incur incremental credit losses not anticipated as of the balance sheet date. Future allowance levels will be based on a variety of factors, including loan growth, portfolio performance and general economic conditions. Our process for determining the allowance for credit losses is discussed in the “Critical Accounting Policies – Allowance for Credit Losses” section and Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our
2018
Form 10-K.

RISKS RELATING TO SERVICING ACTIVITIES
In addition to servicing loans in our portfolio, we act as servicer and/or master servicer of residential mortgage loans included in GSE-guaranteed mortgage securitizations, GNMA-guaranteed mortgage securitizations of FHA-insured/VA-guaranteed mortgages and private label mortgage securitizations, as well as for unsecuritized loans owned by institutional investors. In connection with our servicing activities, we could become subject to consent orders and settlement agreements with federal and state regulators for alleged servicing issues and practices. In general, these can require us to provide customers with loan modification relief, refinancing relief, and foreclosure prevention and assistance, as well as can impose certain monetary penalties on us.
For additional information about the risks related to our servicing activities, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Risks Relating to Servicing Activities” section in our
2018
Form 10-K.
Asset/Liability Management
Asset/liability management involves evaluating, monitoring and managing interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity and funding. Primary oversight of interest rate risk and market risk resides with the Finance Committee of our Board of Directors (Board), which oversees the administration and effectiveness of financial risk management policies and processes used to assess and manage these risks. Primary oversight of liquidity and funding resides with the Risk Committee of the Board. At the management level we utilize a Corporate Asset/Liability Management Committee (Corporate ALCO), which consists of senior financial, risk, and business executives, to oversee these risks and report on them periodically to the Board’s Finance Committee and Risk Committee as appropriate. As discussed in more detail for market risk activities below, we employ separate management level oversight specific to market risk.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk, which potentially can have a significant earnings impact, is an integral part of being a financial intermediary. We are subject to interest rate risk because:
•
assets and liabilities may mature or reprice at different times (for example, if assets reprice faster than liabilities and interest rates are generally rising, earnings will initially increase);
•
assets and liabilities may reprice at the same time but by different amounts (for example, when the general level of interest rates is rising, we may increase rates paid on checking and savings deposit accounts by an amount that is less than the general rise in market interest rates);
•
short-term and long-term market interest rates may change by different amounts (for example, the shape of the yield curve may affect new loan yields and funding costs differently);
•
the remaining maturity of various assets or liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change (for example, if long-term mortgage interest rates increase sharply, MBS held in the debt securities portfolio may pay down slower than anticipated, which could impact portfolio income); or
•
interest rates may also have a direct or indirect effect on loan demand, collateral values, credit losses, mortgage origination volume, the fair value of MSRs and other financial instruments, the value of the pension liability and other items affecting earnings.
We assess interest rate risk by comparing outcomes under various net interest income simulations using many interest rate scenarios that differ in the direction of interest rate changes, the degree of change over time, the speed of change and the projected shape of the yield curve. These simulations require assumptions regarding drivers of earnings and balance sheet composition such as loan originations, prepayment speeds on loans and debt securities, deposit flows and mix, as well as pricing strategies.
Currently, our profile is such that we project net interest income will benefit modestly from higher interest rates as our assets would reprice faster and to a greater degree than our liabilities, while in the case of lower interest rates, our assets would reprice downward and to a greater degree than our liabilities.
Our most recent simulations estimate net interest income sensitivity over the next two years under a range of both lower and higher interest rates. Measured impacts from standardized ramps (gradual changes) and shocks (instantaneous changes) are summarized in
Table 29
, indicating net interest income sensitivity relative to the Company’s base net interest income plan. Ramp scenarios assume interest rates move gradually in parallel across the yield curve relative to the base scenario in year one, and the full amount of the ramp is held as a constant differential to the base scenario in year two. The following describes the simulation assumptions for the scenarios presented in
Table 29
:
•
Simulations are dynamic and reflect anticipated growth across assets and liabilities.
•
Other macroeconomic variables that could be correlated with the changes in interest rates are held constant.
•
Mortgage prepayment and origination assumptions vary across scenarios and reflect only the impact of the higher or lower interest rates.
•
Our base scenario deposit forecast incorporates mix changes consistent with the base interest rate trajectory. Deposit mix is modeled to be the same as in the base scenario across the alternative scenarios. In higher interest rate scenarios, customer activity that shifts balances into higher-yielding products could reduce expected net interest income.
•
We hold the size of the projected debt and equity securities portfolios constant across scenarios.

The sensitivity results above do not capture interest rate sensitive noninterest income and expense impacts. Our interest rate sensitive noninterest income and expense is predominantly driven by mortgage banking activities, and may move in the opposite direction of our net interest income. Mortgage originations generally decline in response to higher interest rates and generally increase, particularly refinancing activity, in response to lower interest rates. Mortgage results are also impacted by the valuation of MSRs and related hedge positions. See the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Mortgage Banking Interest Rate and Market Risk” section in this Report for more information.
Interest rate sensitive noninterest income also results from changes in earnings credit for non-interest bearing deposits that reduce treasury management deposit service fees. Additionally, for the trading portfolio, our trading assets are (before the effects of certain economic hedges) generally less sensitive to changes in interest rates than the related funding liabilities. As a result, net interest income from the trading portfolio contracts and expands as interest rates rise and fall, respectively. The impact to net interest income does not include the fair value changes of trading securities and loans, which, along with the effects of related economic hedges, are recorded in noninterest income.
We use the debt securities portfolio and exchange-traded and over-the-counter (OTC) interest rate derivatives to hedge our interest rate exposures. See the “Balance Sheet Analysis – Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities” section in this Report for more information on the use of the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities portfolios. The notional or contractual amount, credit risk amount and fair value of the derivatives used to hedge our interest rate risk exposures as of
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, are presented in Note 15 (Derivatives) to Financial Statements in this Report. We use derivatives for asset/liability management in two main ways:
•
to convert the cash flows from selected asset and/or liability instruments/portfolios including investments, commercial loans and long-term debt, from fixed-rate payments to floating-rate payments, or vice versa; and
•
to economically hedge our mortgage origination pipeline, funded mortgage loans and MSRs using interest rate swaps, swaptions, futures, forwards and options.
MORTGAGE BANKING INTEREST RATE AND MARKET RISK
We originate, fund and service mortgage loans, which subjects us to various risks, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risks. For more information on mortgage banking interest rate and market risk, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Mortgage Banking Interest Rate and Market Risk” section in our
2018
Form 10-K.
While our hedging activities are designed to balance our mortgage banking interest rate risks, the financial instruments we use may not perfectly correlate with the values and income being hedged. For example, the change in the value of ARM production held for sale from changes in mortgage interest rates may or may not be fully offset by index-based financial instruments used as economic hedges for such ARMs. Additionally, the hedge-carry income on our economic hedges for the MSRs did not continue at recent levels as the flat to inverted yield curve resulted in negative hedge carry for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
The total carrying value of our residential and commercial MSRs was $
12.5 billion
at
September 30, 2019
, and $
16.1 billion
at
December 31, 2018
. The weighted-average note rate on our portfolio of loans serviced for others was
4.29%
at
September 30, 2019
, and
4.32%
at
December 31, 2018
. The carrying value of our total MSRs represented
0.76%
of mortgage loans serviced for others at
September 30, 2019
, and
0.94%
of mortgage loans serviced for others at
December 31, 2018
.
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of possible economic loss from adverse changes in market risk factors such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, equity and commodity prices, and the risk of possible loss due to counterparty risk. This includes implied volatility risk, basis risk, and market liquidity risk. Market risk also includes counterparty credit risk, price risk in the trading book, mortgage servicing rights and the associated hedge effectiveness risk associated with the mortgage book, and impairment on private equity investments.
The Board’s Finance Committee has primary oversight responsibility for market risk and oversees the Company’s market risk exposure and market risk management strategies. In addition, the Board’s Risk Committee has certain oversight responsibilities with respect to market risk, including adjusting the Company’s market risk appetite with input from the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee also reports key market risk matters to the Risk Committee.
At the management level, the Market and Counterparty Risk Management function, which is part of Corporate Risk, has primary oversight responsibility for market risk. The Market and Counterparty Risk Management function reports into the CRO and also provides periodic reporting related to market risk to the Board’s Finance Committee. In addition, the Risk & Control Committee for each business group and enterprise function reports market risk matters to the Enterprise Risk & Control Committee.
MARKET RISK – TRADING ACTIVITIES
We engage in trading activities to accommodate the investment and risk management activities of our customers and to execute economic hedging to manage certain balance sheet risks. These trading activities predominantly occur within our Wholesale Banking businesses and to a lesser extent other divisions of the Company. Debt securities held for trading, equity securities held for trading, trading loans and trading derivatives are financial instruments used in our trading activities, and all are carried at fair value. Income earned on the financial instruments used in our trading
46
Asset/Liability Management (
continued
)
activities include net interest income, changes in fair value and realized gains and losses. Net interest income earned from our trading activities is reflected in the interest income and interest expense components of our income statement. Changes in fair value of the financial instruments used in our trading activities are reflected in net gains on trading activities, a component of noninterest income in our income statement. For more information on the financial instruments used in our trading activities and the income from these trading activities, see Note 4 (Trading Activities) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Value-at-risk (VaR) is a statistical risk measure used to estimate the potential loss from adverse moves in the financial markets. The Company uses VaR metrics complemented with sensitivity analysis and stress testing in measuring and monitoring market risk. For more information, including information regarding our monitoring activities, sensitivity analysis and stress testing, see the “Risk Management – Asset/
Liability Management – Market Risk – Trading Activities” section in our
2018
Form 10-K.
Trading VaR is the measure used to provide insight into the market risk exhibited by the Company’s trading positions. The
Company calculates Trading VaR for risk management purposes to establish line of business and Company-wide risk limits. Trading VaR is calculated based on all trading positions on our balance sheet.
Table 30
shows the Company’s Trading General VaR by risk category. As presented in
Table 30
, average Company Trading General VaR was $
24 million
for the quarter ended
September 30, 2019
, compared with $
20 million
for the quarter ended
June 30, 2019
, and $
12 million
for the quarter ended
September 30, 2018
. The increase in average Company Trading General VaR for the quarter ended
September 30, 2019
, compared with the quarter ended
September 30, 2018
, was mainly driven by changes in portfolio composition.

The period-end VaR was less than the sum of the VaR components described above, which is due to portfolio diversification. The diversification effect arises because the risks are not perfectly correlated causing a portfolio of positions to usually be less risky than the sum of the risks of the positions alone. The diversification benefit is not meaningful for low and high metrics since they may occur on different days.
MARKET RISK – EQUITY SECURITIES
We are directly and indirectly affected by changes in the equity markets. We make and manage direct investments in start-up businesses, emerging growth companies, management buy-outs, acquisitions and corporate recapitalizations. We also invest in non-affiliated funds that make similar private equity investments. These private equity investments are made within capital allocations approved by management and the Board. The Board’s policy is to review business developments, key risks and historical returns for the private equity investment portfolio at least annually. Management reviews these investments at least quarterly and assesses them for possible OTTI and observable price changes. For nonmarketable equity securities, the analysis is based on facts and circumstances of each individual investment and the expectations for that investment’s cash flows, capital needs, the viability of its business model, our exit strategy, and observable price changes that are similar to the investment held. Investments in nonmarketable equity securities include private equity investments accounted for under the equity method, fair value through net income, and the measurement alternative.
In conjunction with the March 2008 initial public offering (IPO) of Visa, Inc. (Visa), we received approximately 20.7 million shares of Visa Class B common stock, the class which was apportioned to member banks of Visa at the time of the IPO. To manage our exposure to Visa and realize the value of the appreciated Visa shares, we incrementally sold these shares through a series of sales, thereby eliminating this position as of September 30, 2015. As part of these sales, we agreed to
compensate the buyer for any additional contributions to a litigation settlement fund for the litigation matters associated with the Class B shares we sold. Our exposure to this retained litigation risk has been updated quarterly and is reflected on our balance sheet. For additional information about the associated litigation matters, see the “Interchange Litigation” section in Note 14 (Legal Actions) to Financial Statements in this Report.
As part of our business to support our customers, we trade public equities, listed/OTC equity derivatives and convertible bonds. We have parameters that govern these activities. We also have marketable equity securities that include investments relating to our venture capital activities. We manage these marketable equity securities within capital risk limits approved by management and the Board and monitored by Corporate ALCO and the Market Risk Committee. The fair value changes in these marketable equity securities are recognized in net income. For more information, see Note 8 (Equity Securities) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Changes in equity market prices may also indirectly affect our net income by (1) the value of third party assets under management and, hence, fee income, (2) borrowers whose ability to repay principal and/or interest may be affected by the stock market, or (3) brokerage activity, related commission income and other business activities. Each business line monitors and manages these indirect risks.

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING
The objective of effective liquidity management is to ensure that we can meet customer loan requests, customer deposit maturities/withdrawals and other cash commitments efficiently under both normal operating conditions and under periods of Wells Fargo-specific and/or market stress. To achieve this objective, the Board of Directors establishes liquidity guidelines that require sufficient asset-based liquidity to cover potential funding requirements and to avoid over-dependence on volatile, less reliable funding markets. These guidelines are monitored on a monthly basis by the Corporate ALCO and on a quarterly basis by the Board of Directors. These guidelines are established and monitored for both the consolidated company and for the Parent on a stand-alone basis to ensure that the Parent is a source of strength for its regulated, deposit-taking banking subsidiaries.
Liquidity Standards
We are subject to a rule, issued by the FRB, OCC and FDIC, that includes a quantitative liquidity requirement consistent with the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). The rule requires banking institutions, such as Wells Fargo, to hold high-quality liquid assets (HQLA), such as central bank reserves and government and corporate debt that can be converted easily and quickly into cash, in an amount equal to or greater than its projected net cash outflows during a 30-day stress period. The rule is applicable to the Company on a consolidated basis and to our insured depository institutions with total assets greater than $10 billion. In addition, rules issued by the FRB impose enhanced liquidity management standards on large bank holding companies (BHC) such as Wells Fargo.
The FRB, OCC and FDIC have proposed a rule that would implement a stable funding requirement, the net stable funding ratio (NSFR), which would require large banking organizations, such as Wells Fargo, to maintain a sufficient amount of stable funding in relation to their assets, derivative exposures and commitments over a one-year horizon period.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio
As of
September 30, 2019
, the consolidated Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. were above the minimum LCR requirement of 100%, which is calculated as HQLA divided by projected net cash outflows, as each is defined under
the LCR rule.
Table 31
presents the Company’s quarterly average values for the daily-calculated LCR and its components calculated pursuant to the LCR rule requirements.

Liquidity Sources
We maintain liquidity in the form of cash, cash equivalents and unencumbered high-quality, liquid debt securities. These assets make up our primary sources of liquidity which are presented in
Table 32
. Our primary sources of liquidity are substantially the same in composition as HQLA under the LCR rule; however, our primary sources of liquidity will generally exceed HQLA calculated under the LCR rule due to the applicable haircuts to HQLA and the exclusion of excess HQLA at our subsidiary insured depository institutions required under the LCR rule.
Our cash is predominantly on deposit with the Federal Reserve. Debt securities included as part of our primary sources of liquidity are comprised of U.S. Treasury and federal agency debt, and mortgage-backed securities issued by federal agencies within our debt securities portfolio. We believe these debt securities provide quick sources of liquidity through sales or by pledging to obtain financing, regardless of market conditions. Some of these debt securities are within the held-to-maturity portion of our debt securities portfolio and as such are not intended for sale but may be pledged to obtain financing. Some of the legal entities within our consolidated group of companies are subject to various regulatory, tax, legal and other restrictions that can limit the transferability of their funds. We believe we maintain adequate liquidity for these entities in consideration of such funds transfer restrictions.

Included in encumbered debt securities at September 30, 2019, were debt securities with a fair value of

which were purchased in September 2019, but settled in October 2019.
In addition to our primary sources of liquidity shown in
Table 32
, liquidity is also available through the sale or financing of other debt securities including trading and/or available-for-sale debt securities, as well as through the sale, securitization or financing of loans, to the extent such debt securities and loans are not encumbered. In addition, other debt securities in our held-to-maturity portfolio, to the extent not encumbered, may be pledged to obtain financing.
Deposits have historically provided a sizable source of relatively low-cost funds. Deposits were
137%
of total loans at
September 30, 2019
, and
135%
at
December 31, 2018
.
Additional funding is provided by long-term debt and short-term borrowings. We access domestic and international capital markets for long-term funding (generally greater than one year) through issuances of registered debt securities, private placements and asset-backed secured funding.

$230.7 billion
at
September 30, 2019
,
increased
$1.6 billion
from
December 31, 2018
. We issued

Parent
In March 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared effective the Parent’s registration statement for the issuance of up to
$50 billion
of senior and subordinated notes, preferred stock and other securities. At
September 30, 2019
, the Parent’s remaining authorized issuance capacity under this registration statement was
$47.5 billion
. The Parent’s overall ability to issue debt securities is limited by the debt issuance authority granted by the Board. As of
September 30, 2019
, the Parent was authorized by the Board to issue up to
$200 billion
in outstanding long-term debt. The Parent’s long-term debt issuance authority granted by the Board includes debt issued to
affiliates and others. At
September 30, 2019
, the Parent had available
$53.4 billion
in long-term debt issuance authority, net of debt issued to affiliates. During the
first nine months of 2019
, the Parent issued
$13.4 billion
of senior notes,
most
of which were registered with the SEC. In October 2019, the Parent issued $6.8 billion of senior notes, substantially all of which were registered with the SEC. The Parent’s short-term debt issuance authority granted by the Board was limited to debt issued to affiliates, and was revoked by the Board at management’s request in January 2018.
49
The Parent’s proceeds from securities issued were used for general corporate purposes, and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus or prospectus supplement, we expect the proceeds from securities issued in the future will be used for the same purposes. Depending on market conditions, we may purchase our outstanding debt securities from time to time in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer, or otherwise.
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
As of
September 30, 2019
, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. was authorized by its board of directors to issue
$100 billion
in outstanding short-term debt and
$175 billion
in outstanding long-term debt and had available
$99.0 billion
in short-term debt issuance authority and
$109.6 billion
in long-term debt issuance authority. In April 2018, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. established a
$100 billion
bank note program under which, subject to any other debt outstanding under the limits described above, it may issue
$50 billion
in outstanding short-term senior notes and
$50 billion
in outstanding long-term senior or subordinated notes. At
September 30, 2019
, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. had remaining issuance capacity under the bank note program of
$50.0 billion
in short-term senior notes and
$31.2 billion
in long-term senior or subordinated notes. During the
first nine months of 2019
, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. issued
$9.8 billion
of unregistered senior notes.
As of
September 30, 2019
, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. had outstanding advances of
$30.9 billion
across the Federal Home Loan Bank System. In addition, in October 2019, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. borrowed $450 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. Federal Home Loan Bank advances are reflected as short-term borrowings or long-term debt on the Company’s balance sheet.
Credit Ratings
Investors in the long-term capital markets, as well as other market participants, generally will consider, among other factors, a company’s debt rating in making investment decisions. Rating agencies base their ratings on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, business mix, the level and quality of earnings, and rating agency assumptions regarding the probability and extent of federal financial assistance or support for certain large financial institutions. Adverse changes in these factors could result in a reduction of our credit rating; however, our debt securities do not contain credit rating covenants.
On August 13, 2019, Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) affirmed the Company's ratings and changed the ratings outlook to stable from negative. On October 21, 2019, DBRS Morningstar confirmed the Company's ratings and maintained the stable trend for all ratings. Both the Parent and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. remain among the highest-rated financial firms in the United States.
See the “Risk Factors” section in our
2018
Form 10-K for additional information regarding our credit ratings and the potential impact a credit rating downgrade would have on our liquidity and operations, as well as Note 15 (Derivatives) to Financial Statements in this Report for information regarding additional collateral and funding obligations required for certain derivative instruments in the event our credit ratings were to fall below investment grade.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK MEMBERSHIP
The Federal Home Loan Banks (the FHLBs) are a group of cooperatives that lending institutions use to finance housing and economic development in local communities. We are a member of the FHLBs based in Dallas, Des Moines and San Francisco. Each member of the FHLBs is required to maintain a minimum investment in capital stock of the applicable FHLB. The board of directors of each FHLB can increase the minimum investment requirements in the event it has concluded that additional capital is required to allow it to meet its own regulatory capital requirements. Any increase in the minimum investment requirements outside of specified ranges requires the approval of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Because the extent of any obligation to increase our investment in any of the FHLBs depends entirely upon the occurrence of a future event, potential future payments to the FHLBs are not determinable.
LIBOR TRANSITION
Due to uncertainty surrounding the suitability and sustainability of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), central banks and global regulators have called for financial market participants to prepare for the discontinuation of LIBOR
by the end of 2021. LIBOR is a widely-referenced benchmark rate, which is published in five currencies and a range of tenors, and represents the cost at which banks can borrow on an unsecured basis from other banks. We have a significant number of assets and liabilities referenced to LIBOR such as commercial loans, adjustable-rate mortgage loans, derivatives, debt securities, and long-term debt. Accordingly, we have established a LIBOR Transition Office, with senior management and Board oversight, which has the objective of achieving a comprehensive and organized enterprise-wide transition away from the use of LIBOR. Among other activities, the LIBOR Transition Office has created a program structure that seeks to facilitate (i) an identification of the types of exposures (e.g., products, systems, models, processes) and risks associated with the transition, (ii) an assessment of the provisions in our contracts that could apply in connection with the transition, (iii) an appraisal of operational and infrastructure enhancements necessary to use alternative benchmark rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), and (iv) a coordinated process for managing outreach and communications with our customers. In addition, the Company is actively working with regulators, industry working groups (such as
50
Asset/Liability Management (
continued
)
the Alternative Reference Rates Committee) and trade associations that are developing guidance to facilitate an orderly transition away from the use of LIBOR. See the “Risk Factors” section in our
2018
Form 10-K for additional information regarding the potential impact of a benchmark rate, such as LIBOR, or other referenced financial metric being significantly changed, replaced, or discontinued.
During the first nine months of 2019, the Company did not issue any long-term debt with an interest rate indexed to the new SOFR published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. SOFR is an alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR and is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities.
Capital Management
We have an active program for managing capital through a comprehensive process for assessing the Company’s overall capital adequacy. Our objective is to maintain capital at an amount commensurate with our risk profile and risk tolerance objectives, and to meet both regulatory and market expectations. We primarily fund our working capital needs through the retention of earnings net of both dividends and share repurchases, as well as through the issuance of preferred stock and long and short-term debt. Retained earnings
increased
$8.2 billion
from
December 31, 2018
, predominantly from Wells Fargo net income of
$16.7 billion
, less common and preferred stock dividends of
$7.4 billion
. During
third quarter 2019
, we issued
5.8 million
shares of common stock, excluding conversions of preferred shares. During
third quarter 2019
, we repurchased
159.1 million
shares of common stock at a cost of
$7.4 billion
. The amount of our repurchases are subject to various factors as discussed in the “Securities Repurchases” section below. For additional information about share repurchases, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Regulatory Capital Guidelines
The Company and each of our insured depository institutions are subject to various regulatory capital adequacy requirements administered by the FRB and the OCC. Risk-based capital (RBC) guidelines establish a risk-adjusted ratio relating capital to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet exposures as discussed below.
RISK-BASED CAPITAL AND RISK-WEIGHTED ASSETS
The Company is subject to final and interim final rules issued by federal banking regulators to implement Basel III capital requirements for U.S. banking organizations. These rules are based on international guidelines for determining regulatory capital issued by the BCBS. The federal banking regulators’ capital rules, among other things, require on a fully phased-in basis:
•
a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 9.00%, comprised of a 4.50% minimum requirement plus a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% and for us, as a global systemically important bank (G-SIB), a capital surcharge to be calculated annually, which is 2.00% for 2019;
•
a minimum tier 1 capital ratio of 10.50%, comprised of a 6.00% minimum requirement plus the capital conservation buffer of 2.50% and the G-SIB capital surcharge of 2.00%;
•
a minimum total capital ratio of 12.50%, comprised of a 8.00% minimum requirement plus the capital conservation buffer of 2.50% and the G-SIB capital surcharge of 2.00%;
•
a potential countercyclical buffer of up to 2.50% to be added to the minimum capital ratios, which is currently not in effect but could be imposed by regulators at their discretion if it is determined that a period of excessive credit growth is contributing to an increase in systemic risk;
•
a minimum tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.00%; and
•
a minimum supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) of 5.00% (comprised of a 3.00% minimum requirement plus a supplementary leverage buffer of 2.00%) for large and internationally active BHCs.
We were required to comply with the final Basel III capital rules beginning January 2014, with certain provisions subject to phase-in periods. The entire Basel III capital rules are scheduled to be fully phased in by the end of 2021. The Basel III capital rules contain two frameworks for calculating capital requirements, a Standardized Approach, which replaced Basel I, and an Advanced Approach applicable to certain institutions, including Wells Fargo. Accordingly, in the assessment of our capital adequacy, we must report the lower of our CET1, tier 1 and total capital ratios calculated under the Standardized Approach and under the Advanced Approach.
On April 10, 2018, the FRB issued a proposed rule that would add a stress capital buffer and a stress leverage buffer to the minimum capital and tier 1 leverage ratio requirements. The buffers would be calculated based on the decrease in a financial institution’s risk-based capital and tier 1 leverage ratios under the supervisory severely adverse scenario in the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), plus four quarters of planned common stock dividends. The stress capital buffer would replace the 2.50% capital conservation buffer under the Standardized Approach, whereas the stress leverage buffer would be added to the current 4.00% minimum tier 1 leverage ratio.
Because the Company has been designated as a G-SIB, we are also subject to the FRB's rule implementing the additional capital surcharge of between 1.00-4.50% on the minimum capital requirements of G-SIBs. Under the rule, we must annually calculate our surcharge under two methods and use the higher of the two surcharges. The first method (method one) considers our size, interconnectedness, cross-jurisdictional activity, substitutability, and complexity, consistent with the methodology developed by the BCBS and the Financial Stability Board (FSB). The second (method two) uses similar inputs, but replaces substitutability with use of short-term wholesale funding and will generally result in higher surcharges than the BCBS methodology. The G-SIB surcharge became fully phased-in on January 1, 2019. Our 2019 G-SIB surcharge under method two is 2.00% of the Company’s risk-weighted assets (RWAs), which is the higher of method one and method two. Because the G-SIB surcharge is calculated annually based on data that can differ over time, the amount of the surcharge is subject to change in future years. Under the
Standardized
Approach, our CET1 ratio (fully phased-in) of
11.61%
exceeded the minimum of 9.00% by
261
basis points at
September 30, 2019
.
Beginning January 1, 2018, the requirements for calculating CET1 and tier 1 capital, along with RWAs, became fully phased-in. However, the requirements for calculating tier 2 and total capital are still in accordance with Transition Requirements. The tables
51
that follow provide information about our risk-based capital and related ratios as calculated under Basel III capital guidelines. For banking industry regulatory reporting purposes, we continue to report our tier 2 and total capital in accordance with Transition Requirements but are managing our capital based on a fully phased-in calculation. For information about our capital requirements calculated in accordance with Transition Requirements, see Note 23 (Regulatory and Agency Capital
Requirements) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Table 36
summarizes our CET1, tier 1 capital, total capital, risk-weighted assets and capital ratios on a fully phased-in basis at
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
. As of
September 30, 2019
, our CET1 and tier 1 capital ratios were lower under the
Standardized
Approach, and our total capital ratio was lower under the Advanced Approach.

Under the Advanced Approach the allowance for credit losses that exceeds expected credit losses is eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital, to the extent the excess allowance does not exceed 0.6% of Advanced credit RWAs, and under the Standardized Approach, the allowance for credit losses is includable in Tier 2 Capital up to 1.25% of Standardized credit RWAs, with any excess allowance for credit losses being deducted from total RWAs.
(4)
RWAs calculated under the Advanced Approach utilize a risk-sensitive methodology, which relies upon the use of internal credit models based upon our experience with internal rating grades. Advanced Approach also includes an operational risk component, which reflects the risk of operating loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems.
(5)
Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor, or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total RWAs.

TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY
We also evaluate our business based on certain ratios that utilize tangible common equity. Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets (including goodwill and intangible assets associated with certain of our nonmarketable equity securities, but excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of applicable deferred taxes. These tangible common equity ratios are as follows:
•
Tangible book value per common share, which represents tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding.
•
Return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE), which represents our annualized earnings contribution as a percentage of tangible common equity.
The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that tangible book value per common share and return on average tangible common equity, which utilize tangible common equity, are useful financial measures because they enable investors and others to assess the Company’s use of equity.
Table 40
provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.

SUPPLEMENTARY LEVERAGE RATIO
In April 2014, federal banking regulators finalized a rule that enhances the SLR requirements for BHCs, like Wells Fargo, and their insured depository institutions. The calculation of the SLR is Tier 1 capital divided by the Company’s total leverage exposure.
Total leverage exposure consists of total average assets, less goodwill and other permitted Tier 1 capital deductions (net of deferred tax liabilities), plus certain off-balance sheet exposures.
The rule, which became effective on January 1, 2018, requires a covered BHC to maintain a SLR of at least 5.00% (comprised of the 3.00% minimum requirement plus a supplementary leverage buffer of 2.00%) to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. The rule also requires that all of our insured depository institutions maintain a SLR of 6.00% under applicable regulatory capital adequacy guidelines. In April 2018, the FRB and OCC proposed rules (the “Proposed SLR Rules”) that would replace the 2.00% supplementary leverage buffer with a buffer equal to one-half of the firm’s G-SIB capital surcharge. The Proposed SLR Rules would similarly tailor the current 6.00% SLR requirement for our insured depository institutions.
At
September 30, 2019
, our SLR for the Company was
7.36%
. Based on our review, our current leverage levels would exceed the applicable requirements for each of our insured depository institutions as well. See
Table 41
for information regarding the calculation and components of the SLR.

OTHER REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS
In December 2016, the FRB finalized rules to address the amount of equity and unsecured long-term debt a U.S. G-SIB must hold to improve its resolvability and resiliency, often referred to as Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC). Under the rules, which became effective on January 1, 2019, U.S. G-SIBs are required to have a minimum TLAC amount (consisting of CET1 capital and additional tier 1 capital issued directly by the top-tier or covered BHC plus eligible external long-term debt) equal to the greater of (i) 18.00% of RWAs and (ii) 7.50% of total leverage exposure (the denominator of the SLR calculation). Additionally, U.S. G-SIBs are required to maintain (i) a TLAC buffer equal to 2.50% of RWAs plus the firm’s applicable G-SIB capital surcharge calculated under method one plus any applicable countercyclical buffer to be added to the 18.00% minimum and (ii) an external TLAC leverage buffer equal to 2.00% of total leverage exposure to be added to the
7.50% minimum, in order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. The rules also require U.S. G-SIBs to have a minimum amount of eligible unsecured long-term debt equal to the greater of (i) 6.00% of RWAs plus the firm’s applicable G-SIB capital surcharge calculated under method two and (ii) 4.50% of the total leverage exposure. In addition, the rules impose certain restrictions on the operations and liabilities of the top-tier or covered BHC in order to further facilitate an orderly resolution, including prohibitions on the issuance of short-term debt to external investors and on entering into derivatives and certain other types of financial contracts with external counterparties. While the rules permit permanent grandfathering of a significant portion of otherwise ineligible long-term debt that was issued prior to December 31, 2016, long-term debt issued after that date must be fully compliant with the eligibility requirements of the rules in order to count toward the minimum TLAC amount. As a result of the rules, we will need to issue additional long-term debt to remain compliant with the requirements.
Under the Proposed SLR Rules, the 2.00% external TLAC leverage buffer would be replaced with a buffer equal to one-half of the firm’s G-SIB capital surcharge. Additionally, the Proposed SLR Rules would modify the leverage component for calculating the minimum amount of eligible unsecured long-term debt from 4.50% of total leverage exposure to 2.50% of total leverage exposure plus one-half of the firm’s G-SIB capital surcharge. As of
September 30, 2019
, our eligible external TLAC as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets was
23.29%
compared with a required minimum of 22.00%. Similar to the risk-based capital requirements, we determine minimum required TLAC based on the greater of RWAs determined under the Standardized and Advanced approaches.
In addition, as discussed in the “Risk Management – Asset/ Liability Management – Liquidity and Funding – Liquidity Standards” section in this Report, federal banking regulators have issued a final rule regarding the U.S. implementation of the Basel III LCR and a proposed rule regarding the NSFR.
Capital Planning and Stress Testing
Our planned long-term capital structure is designed to meet regulatory and market expectations. We believe that our long-term targeted capital structure enables us to invest in and grow our business, satisfy our customers’ financial needs in varying environments, access markets, and maintain flexibility to return capital to our shareholders. Our long-term targeted capital structure also considers capital levels sufficient to exceed capital requirements including the G-SIB surcharge. Accordingly, based on the final Basel III capital rules under the lower of the Standardized or Advanced Approaches CET1 capital ratios, we currently target a long-term CET1 capital ratio at or in excess of 10.00%, which includes a 2.00% G-SIB surcharge. Our capital targets are subject to change based on various factors, including changes to the regulatory capital framework and expectations for large banks promulgated by bank regulatory agencies, planned capital actions, changes in our risk profile and other factors. As discussed above in the “Capital Management – Regulatory Capital Guidelines – Risk-Based Capital and Risk-Weighted Assets” section of this Report, the FRB has proposed including a stress capital buffer to replace the current 2.50% capital conservation buffer. Under the proposal, it is expected that the adoption of CECL accounting would be included in the calculation of the stress capital buffer. We expect that implementation of the stress capital buffer may increase the level and volatility of minimum capital ratio requirements, which may cause our current long-term CET1 capital ratio target of 10.00% to increase.
56
Capital Management (
continued
)
Under the FRB’s capital plan rule, large BHCs are required to submit capital plans annually for review to determine if the FRB has any objections before making any capital distributions. The rule requires updates to capital plans in the event of material changes in a BHC’s risk profile, including as a result of any significant acquisitions. The FRB assesses, among other things, the overall financial condition, risk profile, and capital adequacy of BHCs when evaluating capital plans.
Our 2019 capital plan, which was submitted on April 4, 2019, as part of CCAR, included a comprehensive capital outlook supported by an assessment of expected sources and uses of capital over a given planning horizon under a range of expected and stress scenarios. As part of the 2019 CCAR, the FRB also generated a supervisory stress test, which assumed a sharp decline in the economy and significant decline in asset pricing using the information provided by the Company to estimate performance. The FRB reviewed the supervisory stress results both as required under the Dodd-Frank Act using a common set of capital actions for all large BHCs and by taking into account the Company’s proposed capital actions. The FRB published its supervisory stress test results as required under the Dodd-Frank Act on June 21, 2019. On June 27, 2019, the FRB notified us that it did not object to our capital plan included in the 2019 CCAR. On July 23, 2019, the Company increased its quarterly common stock dividend to
$0.51
per share, as approved by the Board.
Federal banking regulators require stress tests to evaluate whether an institution has sufficient capital to continue to operate during periods of adverse economic and financial conditions. These stress testing requirements set forth the timing and type of stress test activities large BHCs and banks must undertake as well as rules governing stress testing controls, oversight and disclosure requirements. The rules also limit a large BHC’s ability to make capital distributions to the extent its actual capital issuances were less than amounts indicated in its capital plan. As required under the FRB’s stress testing rule, we must submit a mid-cycle stress test based on second quarter data and scenarios developed by the Company. We submitted the results of the mid-cycle stress test to the FRB and disclosed a summary of the results in October 2019. In October 2019, the FRB finalized rules that eliminate the mid-cycle stress test requirement for banks beginning in 2020.
Securities Repurchases
From time to time the Board authorizes the Company to repurchase shares of our common stock. Although we announce when the Board authorizes share repurchases, we typically do not give any public notice before we repurchase our shares. Future stock repurchases may be private or open-market repurchases, including block transactions, accelerated or delayed block transactions, forward repurchase transactions, and similar transactions. Additionally, we may enter into plans to purchase stock that satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Various factors determine the amount of our share repurchases, including our capital requirements, the number of shares we expect to issue for employee benefit plans and acquisitions, market conditions (including the trading price of our stock), and regulatory and legal considerations, including the FRB’s response to our capital plan and to changes in our risk profile. Due to the various factors impacting the amount of our share repurchases and the fact that we tend to be in the market regularly to satisfy repurchase considerations under our capital plan, our share repurchases occur at various price levels. We may suspend share repurchase activity at any time.
In October 2018, the Board authorized the repurchase of 350 million shares of our common stock. In July 2019, the Board authorized the repurchase of an additional 350 million shares of our common stock. At September 30, 2019, we had remaining authority to repurchase approximately
384 million
shares, subject to regulatory and legal conditions.
For more information about share repurchases during
third quarter 2019
, see Part II, Item 2 in this Report.
Historically, our policy has been to repurchase shares under the “safe harbor” conditions of Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 including a limitation on the daily volume of repurchases. Rule 10b-18 imposes an additional daily volume limitation on share repurchases during a pending merger or acquisition in which shares of our stock will constitute some or all of the consideration. Our management may determine that during a pending stock merger or acquisition when the safe harbor would otherwise be available, it is in our best interest to repurchase shares in excess of this additional daily volume limitation. In such cases, we intend to repurchase shares in compliance with the other conditions of the safe harbor, including the standing daily volume limitation that applies whether or not there is a pending stock merger or acquisition.
57
Regulatory Matters
Since the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010, the U.S. financial services industry has been subject to a significant increase in regulation and regulatory oversight initiatives. This increased regulation and oversight has substantially changed how most U.S. financial services companies conduct business and has increased their regulatory compliance costs.
For a discussion of certain consent orders applicable to the Company, see the “Overview” section in this Report. The following supplements our discussion of the other significant regulations and regulatory oversight initiatives that have affected or may affect our business contained in the “Regulatory Matters” and “Risk Factors” sections in our
2018
Form 10-K and the "Regulatory Matters" section in our 2019 First and Second Quarter Reports on Form 10-Q.
VOLCKER RULE
The Volcker Rule, with limited exceptions, prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading or owning any interest in or sponsoring or having certain relationships with a hedge fund, a private equity fund or certain structured transactions that are deemed covered funds. Federal banking regulators, the SEC, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) (collectively, the Volcker supervisory regulators) jointly released a final rule to implement the Volcker Rule’s restrictions, and have finalized additional rules to streamline and tailor the requirements for compliance.
58
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies (see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our
2018
Form 10-K) are fundamental to understanding our results of operations and financial condition because they require that we use estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets or liabilities and financial results. Five of these policies are critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies govern:
•
the allowance for credit losses;
•
the valuation of residential MSRs;
•
the fair value of financial instruments;
•
income taxes; and
•
liability for contingent litigation losses.
Management and the Board’s Audit and Examination Committee have reviewed and approved these critical accounting policies. These policies are described further in the “Financial Review – Critical Accounting Policies” section and Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Accounting Standard Update (ASU or Update) 2018-12 – Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944):
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts
The Update requires all features in long-duration insurance contracts that meet the definition of a market risk benefit to be measured at fair value through earnings with changes in fair value attributable to our own credit risk recognized in other comprehensive income. Currently, two measurement models exist for these features, fair value and insurance accrual. The Update requires the use of a standardized discount rate and routine updates for insurance assumptions used in valuing the liability for future policy benefits for traditional long-duration contracts. The Update also simplifies the amortization of deferred acquisition costs.
The guidance becomes effective on January 1, 2022. Certain of our variable annuity reinsurance products meet the definition of market risk benefits and will require the associated insurance-related reserves for these products to be measured at fair value as of the earliest period presented, with the cumulative effect on fair value for changes attributable to our own credit risk recognized in the beginning balance of accumulated other comprehensive income. The cumulative effect of the difference between fair value and carrying value, excluding the effect on fair value for our own credit risk, will be recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings. As of September 30, 2019, we held $1.1 billion in insurance-related reserves of which $478 million was in scope of the Update. A total of $420 million was associated with products that meet the definition of market risk benefits, and of this amount, $30 million was measured at fair value under current accounting standards. The market risk benefits are largely indexed to U.S. equity and fixed income markets. Upon adoption, we may incur periodic earnings volatility from changes in the fair value of market risk benefits primarily due to the long duration of these contracts. We plan to economically hedge this volatility, where feasible. The ultimate impact of these changes will depend on the composition of our market risk benefits portfolio at the date of adoption. Changes to the liability for future policy benefits for traditional long-duration contracts and deferred acquisition costs will be applied to all outstanding long-duration contracts on the basis of their existing carrying amounts at the beginning of the earliest period presented, and are not expected to be material.
ASU 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326):
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
and subsequent related Updates
The Update changes the accounting for credit losses measurement on loans and
debt securities. For loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, the Update requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) measurement to estimate the allowance for credit losses (ACL) for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset (including off-balance sheet credit exposures) using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Update eliminates the existing guidance for PCI loans, but requires an allowance for purchased financial assets with more than insignificant deterioration since origination. In addition, the Update modifies the other-than-temporary
impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities to require an allowance for credit impairment instead of a direct write-down, which allows for reversal of credit impairments in future periods based on improvements in credit.
We will adopt the guidance in first quarter 2020. Our implementation process includes loss forecasting model development, evaluation of technical accounting topics, updates to our allowance documentation, reporting processes and related internal controls, and overall operational readiness for our adoption of the Update, which will continue for the remainder of 2019, including parallel runs for CECL alongside our current allowance process.
We are in the process of developing, validating, and implementing models used to estimate credit losses under CECL. We have completed substantially all of our loss forecasting models, and we expect to complete the validation process for our loan models during 2019.
Our current planned approach for estimating expected life-time credit losses for loans and debt securities includes the following key components:
•
An initial loss forecast period of one year for all portfolio segments and classes of financing receivables and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. This period reflects management’s expectation of losses based on forward-looking economic scenarios over that time.
•
A historical loss forecast period covering the remaining contractual life, adjusted for prepayments, by portfolio segment and class of financing receivables based on the change in key historical economic variables during representative historical expansionary and recessionary periods.
•
A reversion period of up to two years connecting the initial loss forecast to the historical loss forecast based on economic conditions at the measurement date.
•
Utilization of discounted cash flow (DCF) methods to measure credit impairment for loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring, unless they are collateral dependent and measured at the fair value of collateral. The DCF methods would obtain estimated life-time credit losses using the conceptual components described above.
•
For available-for-sale debt securities and certain beneficial interests classified as held-to-maturity, we plan to utilize the DCF methods to measure the ACL, which will incorporate expected credit losses using the conceptual components described above.
Based on our portfolio composition at September 30, 2019, and the current economic environment, we currently estimate an overall decrease in our ACL for loans of approximately $1.4 billion. The reduction reflects an expected decrease for commercial loans, given their short contractual maturities, partially offset by an expected increase for consumer loans with longer or indeterminate maturities and includes recoveries predominantly related to the increase in collateral value of residential mortgage loans, which were previously written down during the last credit cycle and are below their current recovery value. We will continue to evaluate and refine the results of our loss estimates for the remainder of 2019.
We will recognize an ACL for held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities. The ACL on available-for-sale debt securities will be subject to a limitation based on the fair value of the debt securities. Based on the credit quality of our existing debt securities portfolio, we do not expect the ACL for held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities to be significant.
The ultimate effect of CECL on our ACL will depend on the size and composition of our portfolio, the portfolio’s credit quality and economic conditions at the time of adoption, as well as any refinements to our models, methodology and other key assumptions. At adoption, we will have a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings for our change in the ACL. We currently estimate an overall decrease in our ACL, which will result in an increase to our retained earnings and regulatory capital amounts and ratios.

Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, we may make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed or furnished with the SEC, and our management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “target,” “projects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “can” and similar references to future periods. In particular, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about: (i) the future operating or financial performance of the Company, including our outlook for future growth; (ii) our noninterest expense and efficiency ratio; (iii) future credit quality and performance, including our expectations regarding future loan losses and allowance levels; (iv) the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses; (v) our expectations regarding net interest income and net interest margin; (vi) loan growth or the reduction or mitigation of risk in our loan portfolios; (vii) future capital or liquidity levels or targets and our estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio under Basel III capital standards; (viii) the performance of our mortgage business and any related exposures; (ix) the expected outcome and impact of legal, regulatory and legislative developments, as well as our expectations regarding compliance therewith; (x) future common stock dividends, common share repurchases and other uses of capital; (xi) our targeted range for return on assets, return on equity, and return on tangible common equity; (xii) the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings; and (xiii) the Company’s plans, objectives and strategies.
Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation:
•
current and future economic and market conditions, including the effects of declines in housing prices, high
unemployment rates, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters, geopolitical matters, and any slowdown in global economic growth;
•
our capital and liquidity requirements (including under regulatory capital standards, such as the Basel III capital standards) and our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms;
•
financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses, including the Dodd-Frank Act and other legislation and regulation relating to bank products and services;
•
developments in our mortgage banking business, including the extent of the success of our mortgage loan modification efforts, the amount of mortgage loan repurchase demands that we receive, any negative effects relating to our mortgage servicing, loan modification or foreclosure practices, and the effects of regulatory or judicial requirements or guidance impacting our mortgage banking business and any changes in industry standards;
•
our ability to realize any efficiency ratio or expense target as part of our expense management initiatives, including as a result of business and economic cyclicality, seasonality, changes in our business composition and operating environment, growth in our businesses and/or acquisitions, and unexpected expenses relating to, among other things, litigation and regulatory matters;
•
the effect of the current interest rate environment or changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgage loans held for sale;
•
significant turbulence or a disruption in the capital or financial markets, which could result in, among other things, reduced investor demand for mortgage loans, a reduction in the availability of funding or increased funding costs, and declines in asset values and/or recognition of other-than-temporary impairment on securities held in our debt securities and equity securities portfolios;
•
the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our investment banking business and our fee income from our brokerage, asset and wealth management businesses;
•
negative effects from the retail banking sales practices matter and from other instances where customers may have experienced financial harm, including on our legal, operational and compliance costs, our ability to engage in certain business activities or offer certain products or services, our ability to keep and attract customers, our ability
61
to attract and retain qualified team members, and our reputation;
•
resolution of regulatory matters, litigation, or other legal actions, which may result in, among other things, additional costs, fines, penalties, restrictions on our business activities, reputational harm, or other adverse consequences;
•
a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks;
•
the effect of changes in the level of checking or savings account deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;
•
fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board; and
•
the other risk factors and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
.
In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the amount and timing of any future common stock dividends or repurchases will depend on the earnings, cash requirements and financial condition of the Company, market conditions, capital requirements (including under Basel capital standards), common stock issuance requirements, applicable law and regulations (including federal securities laws and federal banking regulations), and other factors deemed relevant by the Company’s Board of Directors, and may be subject to regulatory approval or conditions.
For more information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, refer to our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the discussion under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on its website at www.sec.gov.
Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
Forward-looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
From time to time management may discuss forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as forward-looking estimates or targets for return on average tangible common equity. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. Such unavailable information could be significant to future results.
62
Risk Factors
An investment in the Company involves risk, including the possibility that the value of the investment could fall substantially and that dividends or other distributions on the investment could be reduced or eliminated. For a discussion of risk factors that could adversely affect our financial results and condition, and the value of, and return on, an investment in the Company, we refer you to the “Risk Factors” section in our
2018
Form 10-K.

Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management evaluated the effectiveness, as of
September 30, 2019
, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer participated in the evaluation. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
September 30, 2019
.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and includes those policies and procedures that:
•
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;
•
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
•
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. No change occurred during
third
quarter
2019
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Note 1:
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Wells Fargo & Company is a diversified financial services company. We provide banking, trust and investments, mortgage banking, investment banking, retail banking, brokerage, and consumer and commercial finance through banking locations, the internet and other distribution channels to consumers, businesses and institutions in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and in foreign countries. When we refer to “Wells Fargo,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us,” we mean Wells Fargo & Company and Subsidiaries (consolidated). Wells Fargo & Company (the Parent) is a financial holding company and a bank holding company. We also hold a majority interest in a real estate investment trust, which has publicly traded preferred stock outstanding.
Our accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and practices in the financial services industry. For discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
(
2018
Form 10-K).
To prepare the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates based on assumptions about future economic and market conditions (for example, unemployment, market liquidity, real estate prices, etc.) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, income and expenses during the reporting period and the related disclosures. Although our estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Management has made significant estimates in several areas, including:
•
allowance for credit losses (Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses));
•
valuations of residential mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) (Note 10 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) and Note 11 (Mortgage Banking Activities));
•
valuations of financial instruments (Note 15 (Derivatives) and Note 16 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities));
•
liabilities for contingent litigation losses (Note 14 (Legal Actions)); and
•
income taxes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations in the interim financial statements do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with our
2018
Form 10-K.
Accounting Standards Adopted in
2019
In first quarter
2019
, we adopted the following new accounting guidance:
•
Accounting Standards Update (ASU or Update) 2018-16 – Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815):
Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS)
Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes
•
ASU 2017-08 – Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20):
Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
•
ASU 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842) and subsequent related Updates, including early adoption of ASU 2019-01 – Leases (Topic 842):
Codification Improvements
ASU 2018-16
expands the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates permitted in the application of hedge accounting. The Update adds the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate to facilitate the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to SOFR transition and provide sufficient lead time for entities to prepare for changes to interest rate risk hedging strategies for both risk management and hedge accounting purposes. The Update is applied prospectively for qualifying new or re-designated hedging relationships entered into on or after adoption date.
We adopted the guidance in first quarter 2019. The Update has not had an impact as we have not designated SOFR OIS as a benchmark interest rate in any hedging relationships.
ASU 2017-08
changes the interest income recognition model for purchased callable debt securities carried at a premium, as the premium will be amortized to the earliest call date rather than to the contractual maturity date. Accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount does not change, as the discount will continue to accrete to the contractual maturity date. The Update impacted our investments in purchased callable debt securities classified as available-for-sale (AFS) and held-to-maturity (HTM), which primarily consist of debt securities of U.S. states and political subdivisions.
We adopted the Update in first quarter 2019 and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2019, that decreased total stockholders’ equity by
$
111
million
. Retained earnings was reduced by
$
592
million
which reflects both the incremental premium amortization under the new guidance from the acquisition date of our impacted AFS and HTM debt securities through the date of adoption and the fact that the incremental premium amortization is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Other comprehensive income (OCI) was increased by
$
481
million
which reflects the corresponding adjustment to the adoption date unrealized gain or loss of impacted AFS debt securities. Going forward, interest income recognized prior to the call date will be reduced because the premium will be amortized over a shorter period.
ASU 2016-02
modifies the guidance used by lessors and lessees to account for leasing transactions. For our transition to the new guidance, we elected several available practical expedients, including to not reassess the classification of our existing leases, any initial direct costs associated with our leases, or whether any existing contracts are or contain leases. In addition, we elected not to provide a comparative presentation for 2018 and 2017 financial statements.
We adopted the Update in first quarter 2019 and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment that increased retained earnings by
$
100
million
related to deferred gains on our prior sale-leaseback transactions. We also recognized operating lease right-of-use
73
(ROU) assets and liabilities, substantially all of which relate to our leasing of real estate as a lessee, of
$
4.9
billion
and
$
5.6
billion
, respectively.
Leasing Activity
AS LESSOR
We lease equipment to our customers under financing or operating leases.
Financing leases are presented in loans and are recorded at the discounted amounts of lease payments receivable plus the estimated residual value of the leased asset. Leveraged leases, which are a form of financing leases, are reduced by related non-recourse debt from third-party investors. Lease payments receivable reflect contractual lease payments adjusted for renewal or termination options that we believe the customer is reasonably certain to exercise. The residual value reflects our best estimate of the expected sales price for the equipment at lease termination based on sales history adjusted for recent trends in the expected exit markets. Many of our leases allow the customer to extend the lease at prevailing market terms or purchase the asset for fair value at lease termination.
Our allowance for loan losses for financing leases considers both the collectability of the lease payments receivable as well as the estimated residual value of the leased asset. We typically purchase residual value insurance on our financing leases so that our risk of loss at lease termination will be less than 10% of the initial value of the lease. Our risk to declines in residual values is further mitigated by the diversity of leased assets in our lease portfolio. In addition, we have several channels for re-leasing or marketing those assets.
In connection with a lease, we may finance the customer’s purchase of other products or services from the equipment vendor and allocate the contract consideration between the use of the asset and the purchase of those products or services based on information obtained from the vendor. Amounts allocated to financing of vendor products or services are reported in loans as commercial and industrial loans, rather than as lease financing.
Our primary income from financing leases is interest income recognized using the effective interest method. Variable lease revenues, such as reimbursement for property taxes associated with the leased asset, are included in lease income within noninterest income.
Operating lease assets are presented in other assets, net of accumulated depreciation. Periodic depreciation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis to the estimated residual value over the estimated useful life of the leased asset. On a periodic basis, operating lease assets are reviewed for impairment and impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of operating lease assets exceeds fair value and is not recoverable. The carrying amount of leased assets is deemed not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the lease payments and the estimated residual value upon the eventual disposition of the equipment. Depreciation of leased assets and impairment loss are presented in operating leases expense within other noninterest expense.
Operating lease rental income for leased assets is recognized in lease income within noninterest income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable revenues on operating leases include reimbursements of costs, including property taxes, which fluctuate over time, as well as rental revenue based on usage. For leases of railcars, revenue for maintenance services provided under the lease is recognized in lease income.
We elected to exclude from revenues and expenses any sales tax incurred on lease payments which are reimbursed by the lessee. Substantially all of our leased assets are protected against casualty loss through third party insurance.
AS LESSEE
We enter into lease agreements to obtain the right to use assets for our business operations, substantially all of which are real estate. Lease liabilities and ROU assets are recognized when we enter into operating or financing leases and represent our obligations and rights to use these assets over the period of the leases and may be re-measured for certain modifications, resolution of certain contingencies involving variable consideration, or our exercise of options (renewal, extension, or termination) under the lease.
Operating lease liabilities include fixed and in-substance fixed payments for the contractual duration of the lease, adjusted for renewals or terminations which were considered probable of exercise when measured. The lease payments are discounted using a rate determined when the lease is recognized. As we typically do not know the discount rate implicit in the lease, we estimate a discount rate that we believe approximates a collateralized borrowing rate for the estimated duration of the lease. The discount rate is updated when re-measurement events occur. The related operating lease ROU assets may differ from operating lease liabilities due to initial direct costs, deferred or prepaid lease payments and lease incentives.
We present operating lease liabilities in accrued expenses and other liabilities and the related operating lease ROU assets in other assets. The amortization of operating lease ROU assets and the accretion of operating lease liabilities are reported together as fixed lease expense and are included in net occupancy expense within noninterest expense. The fixed lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.
Some of our operating leases include variable lease payments which are periodic adjustments of our payments for the use of the asset based on changes in factors such as consumer price indices, fair market value, tax rates imposed by taxing authorities, or lessor cost of insurance. To the extent not included in operating lease liabilities and operating lease ROU assets, these variable lease payments are recognized as incurred in net occupancy expense within noninterest expense.
For substantially all of our leased assets, we account for consideration paid under the contract for maintenance or other services as lease payments. In addition, for certain asset classes, we have elected to exclude leases with original terms of less than one year from the operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities. The related short-term lease expense is included in net occupancy expense.
Finance lease (formerly capital lease) liabilities are presented in long-term debt and the associated finance ROU assets are presented in premises and equipment.
Share Repurchases
From time to time we may enter into private forward repurchase contracts, written repurchase plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or a combination of the two to complement our open-market common stock repurchase strategies. The stock repurchase transactions allow us to manage our share repurchases in a manner consistent with our capital plans submitted annually under the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) and to provide an economic benefit to the Company.
Our payments to the counterparties for the private forward repurchase contracts are recorded in permanent equity in the quarter paid and are not subject to re-measurement. The classification of the up-front payments as permanent equity assures that we have appropriate repurchase timing consistent with our capital plans, which contemplate a fixed dollar amount available per quarter for share repurchases pursuant to the Board
74
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (
continued
)
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) supervisory guidance. In return, the counterparty agrees to deliver a variable number of shares based on a per share discount to the volume-weighted average stock price over the contract period. There are no scenarios where the contracts would not either physically settle in shares or allow us to choose the settlement method. Our total number of outstanding shares of common stock is not reduced until settlement of the private share repurchase contract.
We did not enter into any private forward repurchase contracts in third quarter 2019 and we had
no
unsettled private share repurchase contracts at
September 30,
2019
.
Under a Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan, payments and receipt of repurchased shares settle on the same day and the shares repurchased reduce the total number of outstanding shares of common stock upon the settlement of each trade under the plan.

Subsequent Events
We have evaluated the effects of events that have occurred subsequent to
September 30, 2019
, and, except as disclosed elsewhere in the footnotes, there have been no material events
that would require recognition in our
third quarter 2019
consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Note 2:
Business Combinations
We regularly explore opportunities to acquire financial services companies and businesses. Generally, we do not make a public announcement about an acquisition opportunity until a definitive agreement has been signed.
We completed
no
acquisitions during the
first nine months of 2019
and had
no
business combinations pending as of
September 30, 2019
.
We closed the previously announced sale of our Institutional Retirement and Trust (IRT) business on
July 1, 2019
, and recognized a pre-tax gain of
$
1.1
billion
, which was reflected in our third quarter 2019 net income within other noninterest income. We will continue to administer client assets at the direction of the buyer for up to
24
months
from the closing date pursuant to a transition services agreement. The buyer will receive post-closing revenue from the client assets and will pay us a fee for certain costs that we incur to administer the client assets during the transition period. The transition services fee will be recognized as other noninterest income, and the expenses we incur will be recognized in the same manner as they were prior to the close of the sale.
Transition period revenue is expected to approximate transition period expenses and is subject to downward adjustment as client assets transition to the buyer's platform.
No
IRT client assets were transitioned to the buyer's platform as of September 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, we had assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) associated with the IRT business of
$
21
billion
and
$
912
billion
, respectively.
We closed the previously announced sale of our Eastdil Secured (Eastdil) business on
October 1, 2019
, and we recognized
a pre-tax gain of approximately
$
360
million
, which will be reflected in our fourth quarter 2019 net income.

We have a state-chartered subsidiary bank that is subject to state regulations that limit dividends. Under these provisions and regulatory limitations, our national and state-chartered subsidiary banks could have declared additional dividends of
$
6.0
billion
at
September 30, 2019
, without obtaining prior regulatory approval.
Our nonbank subsidiaries are also limited by certain federal and state statutory provisions and regulations covering the amount of dividends that may be paid in any given year. I
n addition, under a Support Agreement dated June 28, 2017, as amended and restated on June 26, 2019, among Wells Fargo & Company, the parent holding company (the “Parent”), WFC Holdings, LLC, an intermediate holding company and subsidiary of the Parent (the “IHC”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC, and certain other direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Parent designated as material entities for resolution planning purposes or identified as related support entities in our resolution plan, the IHC may be restricted from making dividend payments to the Parent if certain liquidity and/or capital metrics fall below defined triggers or if the Parent's board of directors authorizes it to file a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Based on retained earnings at
September 30, 2019
, our nonbank subsidiaries could have declared additional dividends of
$
25.7
billion
at
September 30, 2019
, without obtaining prior regulatory approval. For additional information see Note 3 (
Cash, Loan and Dividend Restrictions) in our
2018
Form 10-K.
The FRB’s Capital Plan Rule (codified at 12 CFR 225.8 of Regulation Y) establishes capital planning and prior notice and approval requirements for capital distributions including dividends by certain large bank holding companies. The FRB has also published guidance regarding its supervisory expectations for capital planning, including capital policies regarding the process relating to common stock dividend and repurchase decisions in the FRB’s SR Letter 15-18. The effect of this guidance is to require the approval of the FRB (or specifically under the Capital Plan Rule, a notice of non-objection) for the repurchase or redemption of common or perpetual preferred stock as well as to raise the per share quarterly dividend from its current level of
$
0.51
per share as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on
October 22, 2019

shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities by length of time those individual securities in each category have been in a continuous loss position. Debt securities on which we have taken credit-related other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) write-
downs are categorized as being “less than 12 months” or “12 months or more” in a continuous loss position based on the point in time that the fair value declined to below the cost basis and not the period of time since the credit-related OTTI write-down.

We have assessed each debt security with gross unrealized losses included in the previous table for credit impairment. As part of that assessment we evaluated and concluded that we do not intend to sell any of the debt securities and that it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis. We evaluate, where necessary, whether credit impairment exists by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows to the debt securities’ amortized cost basis.
For descriptions of the factors we consider when analyzing debt securities for impairment, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and Note 5 (Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities) in our
2018
Form 10-K. There were no material changes to our methodologies for assessing impairment in the
first nine months of 2019
.
Table 5.3
shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities by those rated investment grade and those rated less than investment grade, according to their lowest credit rating by
Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (S&P) or Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s). Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a debt security. Debt securities rated investment grade, that is those rated BBB- or higher by S&P or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s, are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be low credit risk. Conversely, debt securities rated below investment grade, labeled as “speculative grade” by the rating agencies, are considered to be distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade debt securities. We have also included debt securities not rated by S&P or Moody’s in the table below based on our internal credit grade of the debt securities (used for credit risk management purposes) equivalent to the credit rating assigned by major credit agencies. The unrealized losses and fair value of unrated debt securities categorized as investment grade based on internal credit grades were
$
8
million
and
$
3.0
billion
, respectively, at
September 30, 2019
, and
$
20
million
and
$
5.2
billion
, respectively, at
December 31, 2018
. If an internal credit grade was not assigned, we categorized the debt security as non-investment grade.

Contractual Maturities
Table 5.4
shows the fair value and contractual weighted-average yields (taxable-equivalent basis) of available-for-sale debt securities by remaining contractual maturity. Remaining contractual maturities for mortgage-backed securities (MBS) do
not consider prepayments. Remaining expected maturities will differ from remaining contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations before the underlying mortgages mature.

Table 5.10
presents a rollforward of the OTTI credit loss that has been recognized in earnings as a write-down of available-for-sale debt securities we still own (referred to as “credit-impaired” debt securities) and do not intend to sell. Recognized credit loss
represents the difference between the present value of expected future cash flows discounted using the security’s current effective interest rate and the amortized cost basis of the security prior to considering credit loss.

Loan Purchases, Sales, and Transfers
Table 6.3
summarizes the proceeds paid or received for purchases and sales of loans and transfers from loans held for investment to mortgages/loans held for sale at lower of cost or fair value. This loan activity also includes participating interests, whereby we receive or transfer a portion of a loan. The table excludes purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans, loans for which we have
elected the fair value option, and government insured/ guaranteed real estate 1-4 family first mortgage loans because their loan activity normally does not impact the allowance for credit losses.

Commitments to Lend
A commitment to lend is a legally binding agreement to lend funds to a customer, usually at a stated interest rate, if funded, and for specific purposes and time periods. We generally require a fee to extend such commitments. Certain commitments are subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the customer or borrowing base formulas on an ongoing basis that must be met before we are required to fund the commitment. We may reduce or cancel consumer commitments, including home equity lines and credit card lines, in accordance with the contracts and applicable law.
We may, as a representative for other lenders, advance funds or provide for the issuance of letters of credit under syndicated loan or letter of credit agreements. Any advances are generally repaid in less than a week and would normally require default of both the customer and another lender to expose us to loss. The unfunded amount of these temporary advance arrangements totaled approximately
$
74.9
billion
at
September 30, 2019
.
We issue commercial letters of credit to assist customers in purchasing goods or services, typically for international trade. At
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, we had
$
1.0
billion
and
$
919
million
, respectively, of outstanding issued commercial letters of credit. We also originate multipurpose lending commitments under which borrowers have the option to draw on the facility for different purposes in one of several forms, including a standby letter of credit. See Note 13 (Guarantees, Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments) for additional information on standby letters of credit.
When we make commitments, we are exposed to credit risk. The maximum credit risk for these commitments will generally be lower than the contractual amount because a significant portion of these commitments are not funded. We manage the potential risk in commitments to lend by limiting the total amount of commitments, both by individual customer and in total, by monitoring the size and maturity structure of these commitments and by applying the same credit standards for these commitments as for all of our credit activities.
For loans and commitments to lend, we generally require collateral or a guarantee. We may require various types of collateral, including commercial and consumer real estate, automobiles, other short-term liquid assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and long-lived assets, such as equipment and other business assets. Collateral requirements for each loan or commitment may vary based on the loan product and our assessment of a customer’s credit risk according to the specific credit underwriting, including credit terms and structure.
The contractual amount of our unfunded credit commitments, including unissued standby and commercial letters of credit, is summarized by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable in
Table 6.4
. The table excludes the issued standby and commercial letters of credit and temporary advance arrangements described above.

Credit Quality
We monitor credit quality by evaluating various attributes and utilize such information in our evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses. The following sections provide the credit quality indicators we most closely monitor. The credit quality indicators are generally based on information as of our financial statement date, with the exception of updated Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores and updated loan-to-value (LTV)/combined LTV (CLTV). We obtain FICO scores at loan origination and the scores are generally updated at least quarterly, except in limited circumstances, including compliance with the Fair Credit
Reporting Act (FCRA). Generally, the LTV and CLTV indicators are updated in the second month of each quarter, with updates no older than
June 30, 2019
.
87
COMMERCIAL CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS
In addition to monitoring commercial loan concentration risk, we manage a consistent process for assessing commercial loan credit quality. Generally, commercial loans are subject to individual risk assessment using our internal borrower and collateral quality ratings. Our ratings are aligned to Pass and Criticized categories. The Criticized category includes Special Mention, Substandard,
and Doubtful categories which are defined by bank regulatory agencies.
Table 6.8
provides a breakdown of outstanding commercial loans by risk category. Criticized commercial loans at
September 30, 2019
, included
$
2.3
billion
on nonaccrual status. For additional information on nonaccrual loans, see Table 6.9 and 6.13.

)
CONSUMER CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS
We have various classes of consumer loans that present unique risks. Loan delinquency, FICO credit scores and LTV for loan types are common credit quality indicators that we monitor and utilize in our evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses for the consumer portfolio segment.
Many of our loss estimation techniques used for the allowance for credit losses rely on delinquency-based models; therefore, delinquency is an important indicator of credit quality and the establishment of our allowance for credit losses.

provides the outstanding balances of our consumer portfolio by delinquency status.

LTV refers to the ratio comparing the loan’s unpaid principal balance to the property’s collateral value. CLTV refers to the combination of first mortgage and junior lien mortgage (including unused line amounts for credit line products) ratios. LTVs and CLTVs are updated quarterly using a cascade approach which first uses values provided by automated valuation models (AVMs) for the property. If an AVM is not available, then the value is estimated using the original appraised value adjusted by the change in Home Price Index (HPI) for the property location. If an HPI is not available, the original appraised value is used. The HPI value is normally the only method considered for high value properties, generally with an original value of
$
1
million
or more, as the AVM values have proven less accurate for these properties.
Table 6.12
shows the most updated LTV and CLTV distribution of the real estate 1-4 family first and junior lien mortgage loan portfolios. We consider the trends in residential real estate markets as we monitor credit risk and establish our allowance for credit losses. In the event of a default, any loss should be limited to the portion of the loan amount in excess of the net realizable value of the underlying real estate collateral value. Certain loans do not have an LTV or CLTV due to industry data availability and portfolios acquired from or serviced by other institutions.

LOANS IN PROCESS OF FORECLOSURE
Our recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in process of foreclosure was
$
3.6
billion
and
$
4.6
billion
at
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, respectively, which included
$
2.8
billion
and
$
3.2
billion
, respectively, of loans that are government insured/guaranteed. Under the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau guidelines, we do not commence the foreclosure process on consumer real estate loans until after the loan is 120 days delinquent. Foreclosure procedures and timelines vary depending on whether the property address resides in a judicial or non-judicial state. Judicial states require the foreclosure to be processed through the state’s courts while non-judicial states are processed without court intervention. Foreclosure timelines vary according to state law.
91
LOANS 90 DAYS OR MORE PAST DUE AND STILL ACCRUING
Certain loans 90 days or more past due are still accruing, because they are (1) well-secured and in the process of collection or (2) real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans or consumer loans exempt under regulatory rules from being classified as nonaccrual until later delinquency, usually 120 days past due. PCI loans of
$
119
million
at
September 30, 2019
, and
$
370
million
at
December 31, 2018
, are not included in past due and still accruing loans even when they are 90 days or more contractually past due. PCI loans are considered to be accruing
because they continue to earn interest from accretable yield, independent of performance in accordance with their contractual terms.
Table 6.14
shows non-PCI loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing by class for loans not government insured/guaranteed.

IMPAIRED LOANS
Table 6.15
summarizes key information for impaired loans. Our impaired loans predominantly include loans on nonaccrual status in the commercial portfolio segment and loans modified in a TDR, whether on accrual or nonaccrual status. Impaired loans generally have estimated losses which are included in the allowance for credit losses. We do have impaired loans with no allowance for credit losses when the loss content has been previously recognized through charge-offs, such as collateral dependent loans, or when loans are currently performing in
accordance with their terms and no loss has been estimated. Impaired loans exclude PCI loans and loans that have been fully charged off or otherwise have zero recorded investment.
Table 6.15
includes trial modifications that totaled
$
123
million
at
September 30, 2019
, and
$
149
million
at
December 31, 2018
.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS (TDRs)
When, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, we grant a concession for other than an insignificant period of time to a borrower that we would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a TDR, the balance of which totaled
$
12.1
billion
and
$
15.5
billion
at
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. The majority of the decline in consumer TDRs was due to a reclassification of
$
1.7
billion
in real estate 1-4 family first mortgage TDR loans to MLHFS. We do not consider loan resolutions such as foreclosure or short sale to be a TDR.
We may require some consumer borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to make trial payments generally for a period of three to four months, according to the terms of a planned permanent modification, to determine if they can perform according to those terms. These arrangements represent trial modifications, which we classify and account for as TDRs. While loans are in trial payment programs, their original terms are not considered modified and they continue to advance through delinquency status and accrue interest according to their original terms.
94
Note 6: Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses (

)
Table 6.17
summarizes our TDR modifications for the periods presented by primary modification type and includes the financial effects of these modifications. For those loans that modify more than once, the table reflects each modification that
occurred during the period. Loans that both modify and pay off within the period, as well as changes in recorded investment during the period for loans modified in prior periods, are not included in the table.

Amounts represent the recorded investment in loans after recognizing the effects of the TDR, if any. TDRs may have multiple types of concessions, but are presented only once in the first modification type based on the order presented in the table above. The reported amounts include loans remodified of
$
188
million
and
$
545
million
for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and
$
871
million
and
$
1.4
billion
for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(2)
Principal modifications include principal forgiveness at the time of the modification, contingent principal forgiveness granted over the life of the loan based on borrower performance, and principal that has been legally separated and deferred to the end of the loan, with a zero percent contractual interest rate.
(3)
Other concessions include loans discharged in bankruptcy, loan renewals, term extensions and other interest and noninterest adjustments, but exclude modifications that also forgive principal and/or reduce the contractual interest rate.
(4)
Charge-offs include write-downs of the investment in the loan in the period it is contractually modified. The amount of charge-off will differ from the modification terms if the loan has been charged down prior to the modification based on our policies. In addition, there may be cases where we have a charge-off/down with no legal principal modification. Modifications resulted in deferring or legally forgiving principal (actual or contingent) of
$
16
million
and
$
5
million
for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and
$

for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Reflects the effect of reduced interest rates on loans with an interest rate concession as one of its concession types, which includes loans reported as a principal primary modification type that also have an interest rate concession.
(6)
Trial modifications are granted a delay in payments due under the original terms during the trial payment period. However, these loans continue to advance through delinquency status and accrue interest according to their original terms. Any subsequent permanent modification generally includes interest rate related concessions; however, the exact concession type and resulting financial effect are usually not known until the loan is permanently modified. Trial modifications for the period are presented net of previously reported trial modifications that became permanent in the current period.

Equity Securities Held for Trading
Equity securities held for trading purposes are marketable equity securities traded on organized exchanges. These securities are held as part of our customer accommodation trading activities. For more information on these activities, see Note 4 (Trading Activities).
Equity Securities Not Held for Trading
We also hold equity securities unrelated to trading activities. These securities include private equity and tax credit investments, securities held as economic hedges or to meet regulatory requirements (for example, Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock). Equity securities not held for trading purposes are accounted for at either fair value, equity method, cost or the measurement alternative.
FAIR VALUE
Marketable equity securities held for purposes other than trading primarily consist of exchange-traded equity funds held to economically hedge obligations related to our deferred compensation plans and to a lesser extent other holdings of publicly traded equity securities held for investment purposes. We account for certain nonmarketable equity securities under the fair value method, and substantially all of these securities are economically hedged with equity derivatives.
EQUITY METHOD
Our equity method investments consist of tax credit and private equity investments, the majority of which are our low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) investments.
We invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the LIHTC, which are designed to promote private development of low-income housing. These investments generate a return mostly through realization of federal tax credit and other tax benefits. In the third quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, we recognized pre-tax losses of
$
304
million
and
$
875
million
, respectively, related to our LIHTC investments, compared with
$
283
million
and
$
850
million
, respectively, for the same periods a year ago. These losses were recognized in other noninterest income. We also recognized total tax benefits of
$
362
million
and
$
1.1
billion
in the third quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, which included tax credits recorded to income taxes of
$
286
million
and
$
891
million
for the same periods, respectively. In the third quarter and
first nine months of 2018
, total tax benefits were
$
352
million
and
$
1.1
billion
, respectively, which included tax credits of
$
282
million
and
$
853
million
for the same periods, respectively. We are periodically required to provide additional financial support during the investment period. A liability is recognized for unfunded commitments that are both legally binding and probable of funding. These commitments are predominantly funded within
three years
of initial investment. Our liability for these unfunded commitments was
$
3.8
billion
at
September 30, 2019
, and
$
3.6
billion
at
December 31, 2018
. This liability for unfunded commitments is included in long-term debt.
OTHER
The remaining portion of our nonmarketable equity securities portfolio consists of securities accounted for using the cost or measurement alternative method.

Note 10: Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities
Involvement with Special Purpose Entities (SPEs)
In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with SPEs, which are corporations, trusts, limited liability companies or partnerships that are established for a limited purpose. Generally, SPEs are formed in connection with securitization transactions and are considered variable interest entities (VIEs). For further
description of our involvement with SPEs, see Note 9 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) in our
2018
Form 10-K.
Table 10.1
provides the classifications of assets and liabilities in our balance sheet for our transactions with VIEs. Subsequent tables within this Note further segregate these transactions by structure type.

Secured borrowings are transactions involving transfers of our financial assets to third parties that are accounted for as financings with the assets pledged as collateral. Accordingly, the transferred assets remain recognized on our balance sheet.
(2)
Excludes certain debt securities related to loans serviced for the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA).
(3)

VIE liabilities with recourse to the general credit of Wells Fargo for the periods presented.
103
Transactions with Unconsolidated VIEs
Our transactions with unconsolidated VIEs include securitizations of residential mortgage loans, CRE loans, student loans, automobile loans and leases, certain dealer floorplan loans; investment and financing activities involving collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) backed by asset-backed and CRE securities, tax credit structures, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) backed by corporate loans, and other types of structured financing. We have various forms of involvement with VIEs, including servicing, holding senior or subordinated interests, entering into liquidity arrangements and derivative contracts. Involvements with these unconsolidated VIEs are recorded on our balance sheet in debt and equity securities, loans, MSRs, derivative assets and liabilities, other assets, other liabilities, and long-term debt, as appropriate.
Table 10.2
provides a summary of unconsolidated VIEs with which we have significant continuing involvement, but we are not the primary beneficiary. We do not consider our continuing involvement in an unconsolidated VIE to be significant when it relates to third-party sponsored VIEs for which we were not the transferor (unless we are servicer and have other significant forms of involvement) or if we were the sponsor only or sponsor and servicer but do not have any other forms of significant involvement.
Significant continuing involvement includes transactions where we were the sponsor or transferor and have other significant forms of involvement. Sponsorship includes transactions with unconsolidated VIEs where we solely or materially participated in the initial design or structuring of the entity or marketing of the transaction to investors. When we transfer assets to a VIE and account for the transfer as a sale, we are considered the transferor. We consider investments in securities (other than those held temporarily in trading), loans, guarantees, liquidity agreements, written options and servicing of collateral to be other forms of involvement that may be significant. We have excluded certain transactions with unconsolidated VIEs from the balances presented in the following table where we have determined that our continuing involvement is not significant due to the temporary nature and size of our variable interests, because we were not the transferor or because we were not involved in the design of the unconsolidated VIEs. We also exclude from the table secured borrowing transactions with unconsolidated VIEs (for information on these transactions, see the Transactions with Consolidated VIEs and Secured Borrowings section in this Note).

, respectively, for certain delinquent loans that are eligible for repurchase from GNMA loan securitizations. The recorded carrying value represents the amount that would be payable if the Company was to exercise the repurchase option. The carrying amounts are excluded from the table because the loans eligible for repurchase do not represent interests in the VIEs.
In
Table 10.2
, “Total VIE assets” represents the remaining principal balance of assets held by unconsolidated VIEs using the most current information available. For VIEs that obtain exposure to assets synthetically through derivative instruments, the remaining notional amount of the derivative is included in the asset balance. “Carrying value” is the amount in our consolidated balance sheet related to our involvement with the unconsolidated VIEs. “Maximum exposure to loss” from our involvement with off-balance sheet entities is determined as the carrying value of our involvement with off-balance sheet (unconsolidated) VIEs plus the remaining undrawn liquidity and lending commitments, the notional amount of net written derivative contracts, and generally the notional amount of, or stressed loss estimate for, other commitments and guarantees. It represents estimated loss that would be incurred under severe, hypothetical circumstances, for which we believe the possibility is extremely remote, such as where the value of our interests and any associated collateral declines to zero, without any consideration of recovery or offset from any economic hedges. Accordingly, this disclosure is not an indication of expected loss.
For complete descriptions of our types of transactions with unconsolidated VIEs with which we have a significant continuing involvement, but we are not the primary beneficiary, see Note 9 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) in our
2018
Form 10-K.
INVESTMENT FUNDS
We voluntarily waived a portion of our management fees for certain money market funds that are exempt from the consolidation analysis to ensure the funds maintained a minimum level of daily net investment income. The
amount of fees waived in the third quarter and
first nine months of 2019
was
$
10
million
and
$
30
million
, respectively, compared with
$
10
million
and
$
35
million
, respectively, in the same periods of
2018
.
TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES
VIEs that we wholly own issue debt securities or preferred equity to third party investors. All of the proceeds of the issuance are invested in debt securities or preferred equity that we issue to the VIEs. The VIEs’ operations and cash flows relate only to the issuance, administration and repayment of the securities held by third parties. We do not consolidate these VIEs because the sole assets of the VIEs are receivables from us, even though we own all of the voting equity shares of the VIEs, have fully guaranteed the obligations of the VIEs and may have the right to redeem the third party securities under certain circumstances. In our consolidated balance sheet we reported the debt securities issued to the VIEs as long-term junior subordinated debt with a carrying value of
$
2.2
billion
and
$
2.0
billion
at
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, respectively, and the preferred equity securities issued to the VIEs as preferred stock with a carrying value of
$
2.5
billion
at both dates. These VIEs are not included in the preceding table.
Loan Sales and Securitization Activity
We periodically transfer consumer and CRE loans and other types of financial assets in securitization and whole loan sale transactions. We typically retain the servicing rights from these sales and may continue to hold other beneficial interests in the transferred financial assets. We may also provide liquidity to investors in the beneficial interests and credit enhancements in
105
the form of standby letters of credit. Through these transfers we may be exposed to liability under limited amounts of recourse as well as standard representations and warranties we make to
purchasers and issuers.
Table 10.3
presents the cash flows for our transfers accounted for as sales in which we have continuing involvement with the transferred financial assets.

(3)
Represent loans repurchased from GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC under representation and warranty provisions included in our loan sales contracts. Third quarter and first nine months of
2019
exclude
$
1.4
billion
and
$
4.6
billion
, respectively, in delinquent insured/guaranteed loans that we service and have exercised our option to purchase out of GNMA pools, compared with
$
1.5
billion
and
$
6.2
billion
, respectively, in the same periods of 2018. These loans are predominantly insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA.
In the third quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, we recognized net gains of
$
98
million
and
$
278
million
, respectively, predominantly from transfers of commercial and residential mortgage loans accounted for as sales , in which we have continuing involvement with the transferred assets, compared with
$
51
million
and
$
163
million
, respectively, in the same periods of
2018
. Net gains recognized in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018 were revised from the amounts previously reported to exclude transfers for which we do not have continuing involvement. These net gains predominantly relate to sales of loans that were not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (for example, lower of cost or fair value (LOCOM)).
Sales with continuing involvement during the third quarter and
first nine months of 2019
and
2018
included securitizations of residential mortgages that are sold to the government-sponsored entities (GSEs), such as FNMA and FHLMC, and GNMA (conforming residential mortgage securitizations). Substantially all of these transfers did not result in a gain or loss because the loans were already measured at fair value on a recurring basis. During the third quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, we transferred
$
48.4
billion
and
$
119.2
billion
, respectively, in fair value of residential mortgages to unconsolidated VIEs and third-party investors and recorded the transfers as sales, compared with
$
49.6
billion
and
$
144.6
billion
, respectively, in the same periods of
2018
. In connection with all of these transfers, in the
first nine months of 2019
, we recorded a
$
1.2
billion
servicing asset, measured at fair value using a Level 3 measurement technique, securities of
$
7.7
billion
, classified as Level 2, and a
$
13
million
liability for repurchase losses which reflects management’s estimate of probable losses related to various representations and warranties for the loans transferred, initially measured at fair value. In the
first nine months of 2018
, we
recorded a
$
1.5
billion
servicing asset, securities of
$
2.6
billion
, and a
$
12
million
liability for repurchase losses.
Table 10.4
presents the key weighted-average assumptions we used to measure residential mortgage servicing rights at the date of securitization.

The prepayment speed assumption for residential mortgage servicing rights includes a blend of prepayment speeds and default rates. Prepayment speed assumptions are influenced by mortgage interest rate inputs as well as our estimation of drivers of borrower behavior.
(2)
Includes costs to service and unreimbursed foreclosure costs, which can vary period to period depending on the mix of modified government-guaranteed loans sold to GNMA.
During the third quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, we transferred
$
4.4
billion
and
$
10.5
billion
, respectively, in carrying value of commercial mortgages to unconsolidated VIEs and third-party investors and recorded the transfers as sales, compared with
$
4.1
billion
and
$
11.6
billion
, respectively, in the same periods of
2018
. These transfers resulted in gains of
$
72
million
and
$
193
million
in the third quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, because the loans were carried at LOCOM,
106

)
compared with gains of
$

and
$

in the same periods of

. In connection with these transfers, in the
first nine months of 2019
, we recorded a servicing asset of
$
92
million
, initially measured at fair value using a Level 3 measurement technique, and
no
securities. In the
first nine months of 2018
, we recorded a servicing asset of
$

and securities of
$

.
Retained Interests from Unconsolidated VIEs
Table 10.5
provides key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights and other interests held related to unconsolidated VIEs to immediate adverse changes in those assumptions. “Other
interests held” relate to residential and commercial mortgage loan securitizations. Residential mortgage-backed securities retained in securitizations issued through GSEs, such as FNMA and FHLMC, and GNMA, are excluded from the table because these securities have a remote risk of credit loss due to the GSE guarantee. These securities also have economic characteristics similar to GSE mortgage-backed securities that we purchase, which are not included in the table. Subordinated interests include only those bonds whose credit rating was below AAA by a major rating agency at issuance. Senior interests include only those bonds whose credit rating was AAA by a major rating agency at issuance. The information presented excludes trading positions held in inventory.

Residential mortgage servicing rights include purchased servicing assets as well as servicing assets resulting from the transfer of loans. See narrative following this table for a discussion of commercial mortgage servicing rights.
(2)
The prepayment speed assumption for residential mortgage servicing rights includes a blend of prepayment speeds and default rates. Prepayment speed assumptions are influenced by mortgage interest rate inputs as well as our estimation of drivers of borrower behavior.
In addition to residential MSRs included in the previous table, we have a small portfolio of commercial MSRs with a fair value of
$
1.8
billion
and
$
2.3
billion
at
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. The nature of our commercial MSRs, which are carried at LOCOM, is different from our residential MSRs. Prepayment activity on serviced loans does not significantly impact the value of commercial MSRs because, unlike residential mortgages, commercial mortgages experience significantly lower prepayments due to certain contractual
restrictions, impacting the borrower’s ability to prepay the mortgage. Similarly, prepayment speed assumptions do not significantly impact the value of the commercial mortgage securitization bonds. Additionally, for our commercial MSR portfolio, we are typically master/primary servicer, but not the special servicer, who is separately responsible for the servicing and workout of delinquent and foreclosed loans. It is the special servicer, similar to our role as servicer of residential mortgage loans, who is affected by higher servicing and foreclosure costs
107
due to an increase in delinquent and foreclosed loans. Accordingly, prepayment speeds and costs to service are not key assumptions for commercial MSRs as they do not significantly impact the valuation. The primary economic driver impacting the fair value of our commercial MSRs is forward interest rates, which are derived from market observable yield curves used to price capital markets instruments. Market interest rates significantly affect interest earned on custodial deposit balances. The sensitivity of the current fair value to an immediate adverse
25
%
change in the assumption about interest earned on deposit balances at
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, results in a decrease in fair value of
$
200
million
and
$
320
million
, respectively. See Note 11 (Mortgage Banking Activities) for further information on our commercial MSRs.
The sensitivities in the preceding paragraph and table are hypothetical and caution should be exercised when relying on this data. Changes in value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on
the value of the other interests held is calculated independently without changing any other assumptions. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in others (for example, changes in prepayment speed estimates could result in changes in the credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.
Off-Balance Sheet Loans
Table 10.6
presents information about the principal balances of off-balance sheet loans that were sold or securitized, including residential mortgage loans sold to FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA and other investors, for which we have some form of continuing involvement (including servicer). Delinquent loans include loans 90 days or more past due and loans in bankruptcy, regardless of delinquency status. For loans sold or securitized where servicing is our only form of continuing involvement, we would only experience a loss if we were required to repurchase a delinquent loan or foreclosed asset due to a breach in representations and warranties associated with our loan sale or servicing contracts.

Transactions with Consolidated VIEs and Secured Borrowings
Table 10.7
presents a summary of financial assets and liabilities for asset transfers accounted for as secured borrowings and involvements with consolidated VIEs. Carrying values of “Assets” are presented using GAAP measurement methods, which may include fair value, credit impairment or other adjustments, and
therefore in some instances will differ from “Total VIE assets.” For VIEs that obtain exposure synthetically through derivative instruments, the remaining notional amount of the derivative is included in “Total VIE assets.” On the consolidated balance sheet, we separately disclose the consolidated assets of certain VIEs that can only be used to settle the liabilities of those VIEs.

Note 13: Guarantees, Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments
Guarantees are contracts that contingently require us to make payments to a guaranteed party based on an event or a change in an underlying asset, liability, rate or index. Guarantees are generally in the form of standby letters of credit, securities lending and other indemnifications, written put options, recourse obligations, and other types of similar arrangements. For
complete descriptions of our guarantees, see Note 15 (Guarantees, Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments) in our

Consists of guarantees made under certain factoring arrangements to purchase trade receivables from third parties, generally upon their request, if receivable debtors default on their payment obligations.
“Maximum exposure to loss” and “Non-investment grade” are required disclosures under GAAP. Non-investment grade represents those guarantees on which we have a higher risk of performance under the terms of the guarantee. If the underlying assets under the guarantee are non-investment grade (that is, an external rating that is below investment grade or an internal credit default grade that is equivalent to a below investment grade external rating), we consider the risk of performance to be high. Internal credit default grades are determined based upon the same credit policies that we use to evaluate the risk of payment or performance when making loans and other extensions of credit. Credit quality indicators we usually consider in evaluating risk of payments or performance are described in Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses).
Maximum exposure to loss represents the estimated loss that would be incurred under an assumed hypothetical circumstance, despite what we believe is a remote possibility, where the value of our interests and any associated collateral declines to zero. Maximum exposure to loss estimates in
Table 13.1
do not reflect economic hedges or collateral we could use to offset or recover losses we may incur under our guarantee agreements. Accordingly, this required disclosure is not an indication of expected loss. We believe the carrying value, which is either fair value for derivative-related products or the allowance for lending-related commitments, is more representative of our exposure to loss than maximum exposure to loss.

Pledged Assets
As part of our liquidity management strategy, we pledge various assets to secure trust and public deposits, borrowings and letters of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and FRB, securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), securities lending arrangements, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law or insurance statutory requirements. The types of collateral we pledge include securities issued by federal agencies, GSEs, domestic and foreign companies and various commercial and consumer loans.

Securities Financing Activities
We enter into resale and repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending agreements (collectively, “securities financing activities”) typically to finance trading positions (including securities and derivatives), acquire securities to cover short trading positions, accommodate customers’ financing needs, and settle other securities obligations. These activities are conducted through our broker-dealer subsidiaries and to a lesser extent through other bank entities.
Most
of our securities financing activities involve high quality, liquid securities such as U.S. Treasury securities and government agency securities, and to a lesser extent, less liquid securities, including equity securities, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities. We account for these transactions as collateralized financings in which we typically receive or pledge securities as collateral. We believe these financing transactions generally do not have material credit risk given the collateral provided and the related monitoring processes.
OFFSETTING OF SECURITIES FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Table 13.3
presents resale and repurchase agreements subject to master repurchase agreements (MRA) and securities borrowing and lending agreements subject to master securities lending agreements (MSLA). We account for transactions subject to these agreements as collateralized financings, and those with a single counterparty are presented net on our balance sheet, provided certain criteria are met that permit balance sheet netting.
Substantially all
transactions subject to these agreements do not meet those criteria and thus are not eligible for balance sheet netting.
Collateral we pledged consists of non-cash instruments, such as securities or loans, and is not netted on the balance sheet against the related liability. Collateral we received includes securities or loans and is not recognized on our balance sheet. Collateral pledged or received may be increased or decreased over time to maintain certain contractual thresholds, as the assets underlying each arrangement fluctuate in value. Generally, these agreements require collateral to exceed the asset or liability recognized on the balance sheet. The following table includes the amount of collateral pledged or received related to exposures subject to enforceable MRAs or MSLAs. While these agreements are typically over-collateralized, U.S. GAAP requires disclosure in this table to limit the reported amount of such collateral to the amount of the related recognized asset or liability for each counterparty.

REPURCHASE AND SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENTS
Securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements are effectively short-term collateralized borrowings. In these transactions, we receive cash in exchange for transferring securities as collateral and recognize an obligation to reacquire the securities for cash at the transaction’s maturity. These types of transactions create risks, including (1) the counterparty may fail to return the securities at maturity, (2) the fair value of the securities transferred may decline below the amount of our obligation to reacquire the securities, and therefore create an obligation for us to pledge additional amounts, and (3) the counterparty may accelerate the maturity on demand, requiring us to reacquire the security prior to contractual maturity. We attempt to mitigate these risks in various ways.
Most
of our collateral consists of highly liquid securities. In addition, we underwrite and monitor the financial strength of our counterparties, monitor the fair value of collateral pledged relative to contractually required repurchase amounts, and monitor that our collateral is properly returned through the clearing and settlement process in advance of our cash repayment.
Table 13.4
provides the gross amounts recognized on the balance sheet (before the effects of offsetting) of our liabilities for repurchase and securities lending agreements disaggregated by underlying collateral type.

The overnight/continuous repurchase agreements require election of both parties to roll the trade rather than the election to terminate the arrangement as in securities lending.
OTHER COMMITMENTS
To meet the financing needs of our customers, we may enter into commitments to purchase debt and equity securities to provide capital for their funding, liquidity or other future needs. As of
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, we had commitments to purchase debt securities of
$
193
million
and
$
335
million
, respectively, and commitments to purchase equity securities of
$
2.4
billion
and
$
2.5
billion
, respectively.
As part of maintaining our memberships in certain clearing organizations, we are required to stand ready to provide liquidity to sustain market clearing activity in the event unforeseen events occur or are deemed likely to occur. Certain of these obligations are guarantees of other members’ performance and accordingly are included in Other guarantees in Table 13.1.
Also, we have commitments to purchase securities under resale agreements from central clearing organizations. We
do not
have any outstanding amounts funded, and the amount of our unfunded contractual commitments was
$
4.3
billion
and
$
9.8
billion
as of
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. Given the nature of these commitments, they are excluded from Table 6.4 (Unfunded Credit Commitments) in Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses).
The Parent fully and unconditionally guarantees the payment of principal, interest, and any other amounts that may be due on securities that its 100% owned finance subsidiary, Wells Fargo Finance LLC, may issue. These guaranteed liabilities were
$
895
million
and
$
5
million
at
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. These guarantees rank on parity with all of the Parent’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

Note 14: Legal Actions (

)
Note 14: Legal Actions
Wells Fargo and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in a number of judicial, regulatory, governmental, arbitration, and other proceedings or investigations concerning matters arising from the conduct of our business activities, and many of those proceedings and investigations expose Wells Fargo to potential financial loss. These proceedings and investigations include actions brought against Wells Fargo and/or our subsidiaries with respect to corporate-related matters and transactions in which Wells Fargo and/or our subsidiaries were involved. In addition, Wells Fargo and our subsidiaries may be requested to provide information or otherwise cooperate with government authorities in the conduct of investigations of other persons or industry groups.
Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, Wells Fargo and/or our subsidiaries have generally denied, or believe we have a meritorious defense and will deny, liability in all significant legal actions pending against us, including the matters described below, and we intend to defend vigorously each case, other than matters we describe as having settled. We establish accruals for legal actions when potential losses associated with the actions become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. For such accruals, we record the amount we consider to be the best estimate within a range of potential losses that are both probable and estimable; however, if we cannot determine a best estimate, then we record the low end of the range of those potential losses. The actual costs of resolving legal actions may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for those actions.
ATM ACCESS FEE LITIGATION
In October 2011, plaintiffs filed a putative class action,
Mackmin, et al. v. Visa, Inc. et al.
, against Wells Fargo & Company, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Visa, MasterCard, and several other banks in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Plaintiffs allege that the Visa and MasterCard requirement that if an ATM operator charges an access fee on Visa and MasterCard transactions, then that fee cannot be greater than the access fee charged for transactions on other networks, violates antitrust rules. Plaintiffs seek treble damages, restitution, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees where available under federal and state law. Two other antitrust cases that make similar allegations were filed in the same court, but these cases did not name Wells Fargo as a defendant. On February 13, 2013, the district court granted defendants’ motions to dismiss the
three
actions. Plaintiffs appealed the dismissals and, on August 4, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the district court’s decisions and remanded the
three
cases to the district court for further proceedings. On June 28, 2016, the United States Supreme Court granted defendants’ petitions for writ of certiorari to review the decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. On November 17, 2016, the United States Supreme Court dismissed the petitions as improvidently granted, and the
three
cases returned to the district court for further proceedings.
AUTOMOBILE LENDING MATTERS
On April 20, 2018, the Company entered into consent orders with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to resolve, among other things, investigations by the agencies into the Company’s compliance risk management program and its past practices involving certain automobile collateral protection insurance (CPI) policies and, as discussed below, certain mortgage interest rate lock extensions. The
consent orders require remediation to customers and the payment of a total of
$
1.0
billion
in civil money penalties to the agencies. In July 2017, the Company announced a plan to remediate customers who may have been financially harmed due to issues related to automobile CPI policies purchased through a third-party vendor on their behalf. Multiple putative class action cases alleging, among other things, unfair and deceptive practices relating to these CPI policies, have been filed against the Company and consolidated into
one
multi-district litigation in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Company has reached an agreement in principle to resolve the multi-district litigation pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay, consistent with its remediation obligations under the consent orders, approximately
$
424
million
in remediation to customers with CPI policies placed between October 15, 2005, and September 30, 2016. The settlement amount is not incremental to the Company’s remediation obligations under the consent orders, but instead encompasses those obligations, including remediation payments to date. The settlement amount is subject to change as the Company finalizes its remediation activity under the consent orders. In addition, the Company has agreed to contribute
$
1
million
to a common fund for the class. The district court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on August 5, 2019, and held a final approval hearing on October 28, 2019. A putative class of shareholders also filed a securities fraud class action against the Company and its executive officers alleging material misstatements and omissions of CPI-related information in the Company’s public disclosures. Former team members have also alleged retaliation for raising concerns regarding automobile lending practices. In addition, the Company has identified certain issues related to the unused portion of guaranteed automobile protection (GAP) waiver or insurance agreements between the customer and dealer and, by assignment, the lender, which will require remediation to customers in certain states. The Company is subject to a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging that customers are entitled to refunds in all states. Allegations related to the CPI and GAP programs are among the subjects of shareholder derivative lawsuits pending in federal and state court in California. The court dismissed the state court action in September 2018, but plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in November 2018. The parties to the state court action have entered into an agreement to resolve the action pursuant to which the Company will pay plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and undertake certain business and governance practices. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on July 12, 2019, and scheduled a final approval hearing for November 13, 2019. These and other issues related to the origination, servicing, and collection of consumer automobile loans, including related insurance products, have also subjected the Company to formal or informal inquiries, investigations, or examinations from federal and state government agencies. In December 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with all 50 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia to resolve an investigation into the Company’s retail sales practices, CPI and GAP, and mortgage interest rate lock matters, pursuant to which the Company paid
$
575
million
.
CONSUMER DEPOSIT ACCOUNT RELATED REGULATORY INVESTIGATION
The CFPB is conducting an investigation into whether customers were unduly harmed by the Company’s historical practices associated with the freezing (and, in many
117
cases, closing) of consumer deposit accounts after the Company detected suspected fraudulent activity (by third parties or account holders) that affected those accounts. A former team member has brought a state court action alleging retaliation for raising concerns about these practices.
FIDUCIARY AND CUSTODY ACCOUNT FEE CALCULATIONS
Federal government agencies are conducting formal or informal inquiries, investigations, or examinations regarding fee calculations within certain fiduciary and custody accounts in the Company’s investment and fiduciary services business, which is part of the wealth management business within the Wealth and Investment Management (WIM) operating segment. The Company has determined that there have been instances of incorrect fees being applied to certain assets and accounts, resulting in both overcharges and undercharges to customers.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE BUSINESS
Federal government agencies, including the United States Department of Justice (Department of Justice), are investigating or examining certain activities in the Company’s foreign exchange business. These matters are at varying stages. The Company has responded, and continues to respond, to requests from a number of the foregoing and has discussed the potential resolution of some of the matters. The Company is in the process of providing remediation to customers that may have received pricing inconsistent with commitments made to those customers, and rebates to customers where historic pricing, while consistent with contracts entered into with those customers, does not conform to recently implemented pricing review standards for prior periods.
INTERCHANGE LITIGATION
Plaintiffs representing a putative class of merchants have filed putative class actions, and individual merchants have filed individual actions, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo & Company, Wachovia Bank, N.A., and Wachovia Corporation regarding the interchange fees associated with Visa and MasterCard payment card transactions. Visa, MasterCard, and several other banks and bank holding companies are also named as defendants in these actions. These actions have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The amended and consolidated complaint asserts claims against defendants based on alleged violations of federal and state antitrust laws and seeks damages, as well as injunctive relief. Plaintiff merchants allege that Visa, MasterCard, and payment card issuing banks unlawfully colluded to set interchange rates. Plaintiffs also allege that enforcement of certain Visa and MasterCard rules and alleged tying and bundling of services offered to merchants are anticompetitive. Wells Fargo and Wachovia, along with other defendants and entities, are parties to Loss and Judgment Sharing Agreements, which provide that they, along with other entities, will share, based on a formula, in any losses from the Interchange Litigation. On July 13, 2012, Visa, MasterCard, and the financial institution defendants, including Wells Fargo, signed a memorandum of understanding with plaintiff merchants to resolve the consolidated class action and reached a separate settlement in principle of the consolidated individual actions. The settlement payments to be made by all defendants in the consolidated class and individual actions totaled approximately
$
6.6
billion
before reductions applicable to certain merchants opting out of the settlement. The class settlement also provided for the distribution to class merchants of
10
basis points of default interchange across all credit rate categories for a period of eight consecutive months. The district court granted final approval of the settlement, which was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit by settlement objector merchants. Other merchants opted out of the settlement and are pursuing several individual actions. On June 30, 2016, the Second Circuit vacated the settlement agreement and reversed and remanded the consolidated action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York for further proceedings. On November 23, 2016, prior class counsel filed a petition to the United States Supreme Court, seeking review of the reversal of the settlement by the Second Circuit, and the Supreme Court denied the petition on March 27, 2017. On November 30, 2016, the district court appointed lead class counsel for a damages class and an equitable relief class. The parties have entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the money damages class claims pursuant to which defendants will pay a total of approximately
$
6.2
billion
, which includes approximately
$
5.3
billion
of funds remaining from the 2012 settlement and
$
900
million
in additional funding. The Company’s allocated responsibility for the additional funding is approximately
$
94.5
million
. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement in January 2019, and scheduled a final approval hearing for November 7, 2019. Several of the opt-out and direct action litigations were settled during the pendency of the Second Circuit appeal while others remain pending. Discovery is proceeding in the opt-out litigations and the equitable relief class case.
LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS
Federal government agencies have undertaken formal or informal inquiries or investigations regarding the manner in which the Company purchased, and negotiated the purchase of, certain federal low income housing tax credits in connection with the financing of low income housing developments.

separate cases brought by United Services Automobile Association (USAA) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging claims of patent infringement regarding mobile deposit capture technology patents held by USAA. Trial in the first case commenced on October 30, 2019, and trial in the second case is scheduled for January 2020.
MORTGAGE INTEREST RATE LOCK MATTERS
On April 20, 2018, the Company entered into consent orders with the OCC and CFPB to resolve, among other things, investigations by the agencies into the Company’s compliance risk management program and its past practices involving certain automobile CPI policies and certain mortgage interest rate lock extensions. The consent orders require remediation to customers and the payment of a total of
$
1.0
billion
in civil money penalties to the agencies. The Company was named in a putative class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations of federal and state consumer fraud statutes relating to mortgage rate lock extension fees. The Company filed a motion to dismiss and the court granted the motion. Subsequently, a putative class action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, raising similar allegations. The Company filed a motion to dismiss this action and the court granted the motion. In addition, former team members have asserted claims, including in pending litigation, that they were terminated for raising concerns regarding mortgage interest rate lock extension practices. Allegations related to mortgage interest rate lock extension fees are also among the subjects of
two
shareholder derivative lawsuits consolidated in California state court. The parties have entered into an agreement to resolve the state court action pursuant to
118
Note 14: Legal Actions (
continued
)
which the Company will pay plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and undertake certain business and governance practices. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on July 12, 2019, and scheduled a final approval hearing for November 13, 2019. This matter has also subjected the Company to formal or informal inquiries, investigations, or examinations from other federal and state government agencies. In December 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with all 50 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia to resolve an investigation into the Company’s retail sales practices, CPI and GAP, and mortgage interest rate lock matters, pursuant to which the Company paid
$
575
million
.
MORTGAGE LOAN MODIFICATION LITIGATION
Plaintiffs representing a putative class of mortgage borrowers have filed separate putative class actions,
Hernandez v. Wells Fargo, et al
.,
Coordes v. Wells Fargo, et al
., and
Ryder v. Wells Fargo
, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, the United States District Court for the District of Washington, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, respectively. Plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo improperly denied mortgage loan modifications or repayment plans to customers in the foreclosure process due to the overstatement of foreclosure attorneys’ fees that were included for purposes of determining whether a customer in the foreclosure process qualified for a mortgage loan modification or repayment plan.
MORTGAGE-RELATED REGULATORY INVESTIGATIONS
Federal and state government agencies, including the Department of Justice, have been investigating or examining certain mortgage related activities of Wells Fargo and predecessor institutions. Wells Fargo, for itself and for predecessor institutions, has responded, or continues to respond, to requests from these agencies seeking information regarding the origination, underwriting, and securitization of residential mortgages, including sub-prime mortgages. These agencies have advanced theories of purported liability with respect to certain of these activities. An agreement, pursuant to which the Company paid
$
2.09
billion
, was reached in August 2018 to resolve the Department of Justice investigation, which related to certain 2005-2007 residential mortgage-backed securities activities. In addition, the Company reached an agreement with the Attorney General of the State of Illinois in November 2018 pursuant to which the Company paid
$
17
million
in restitution to certain Illinois state pension funds to resolve a claim relating to certain residential mortgage-backed securities activities. Other financial institutions have entered into similar settlements with these agencies, the nature of which related to the specific activities of those financial institutions, including the imposition of significant financial penalties and remedial actions.
OFAC RELATED INVESTIGATION
The Company has self-identified an issue whereby certain foreign banks utilized a Wells Fargo software-based solution to conduct import/export trade-related financing transactions with countries and entities prohibited by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United States Department of the Treasury. We do not believe any funds related to these transactions flowed through accounts at Wells Fargo as a result of the aforementioned conduct. The Company has made voluntary self-disclosures to OFAC and is cooperating with an inquiry from the Department of Justice.
ORDER OF POSTING LITIGATION
Plaintiffs filed a series of putative class actions against Wachovia Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as well as many other banks, challenging the “high to low”
order in which the banks post debit card transactions to consumer deposit accounts. Most of these actions were consolidated in multi-district litigation proceedings (MDL proceedings) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The court in the MDL proceedings has certified a class of putative plaintiffs, and Wells Fargo moved to compel arbitration of the claims of unnamed class members. The court denied the motions to compel arbitration in October 2016, and Wells Fargo appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. In May 2018, the Eleventh Circuit ruled in Wells Fargo’s favor and found that Wells Fargo had not waived its arbitration rights and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings. Plaintiffs filed a petition for rehearing to the Eleventh Circuit, which was denied in August 2018. Plaintiffs petitioned for certiorari from the United States Supreme Court, and that petition was denied in January 2019. On September 26, 2019, the district court entered an order granting Wells Fargo's motion and dismissed the claims of unnamed class members in favor of arbitration.
RETAIL SALES PRACTICES MATTERS
Federal, state, and local government agencies, including the Department of Justice, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the United States Department of Labor; and state attorneys general, including the New York Attorney General, as well as Congressional committees, have undertaken formal or informal inquiries, investigations or examinations arising out of certain retail sales practices of the Company that were the subject of settlements with the CFPB, the OCC, and the Office of the Los Angeles City Attorney announced by the Company on September 8, 2016. These matters are at varying stages. The Company has responded, and continues to respond, to requests from a number of the foregoing. In October 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to resolve the New York Attorney General’s investigation pursuant to which the Company paid
$
65
million
to the State of New York. In December 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with all 50 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia to resolve an investigation into the Company’s retail sales practices, CPI and GAP, and mortgage interest rate lock matters, pursuant to which the Company paid
$
575
million
. The Company continues to engage in resolution discussions with the Department of Justice and the SEC, although there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these discussions.
In addition, a number of lawsuits have also been filed by non-governmental parties seeking damages or other remedies related to these retail sales practices. First, various class plaintiffs purporting to represent consumers who allege that they received products or services without their authorization or consent have brought separate putative class actions against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and various other jurisdictions. In April 2017, the Company entered into a settlement agreement in the first-filed action,
Jabbari v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A
., pursuant to which the Company will pay
$
142
million
to resolve claims regarding certain products or services provided without authorization or consent for the time period May 1, 2002 to April 20, 2017. The district court issued an order granting final approval of the settlement on June 14, 2018. Several appeals of the district court’s order granting final approval of the settlement have been filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Second, Wells Fargo shareholders brought a consolidated securities fraud class action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging certain misstatements and omissions in the Company’s disclosures related to sales practices
119
matters. The Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve this matter pursuant to which the Company paid
$
480
million
. The district court issued an order granting final approval of the settlement on December 20, 2018. Third, Wells Fargo shareholders have brought numerous shareholder derivative lawsuits asserting breach of fiduciary duty claims, among others, against current and former directors and officers for their alleged involvement with and failure to detect and prevent sales practices issues. These actions are currently pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and California state court as coordinated proceedings. An additional lawsuit asserting similar claims pending in Delaware state court has been stayed. The parties have entered into settlement agreements to resolve the shareholder derivative lawsuits pursuant to which insurance carriers will pay the Company approximately
$
240
million
for alleged damage to the Company, and the Company will pay plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. Preliminary approval of the settlements has been granted, and the federal court held a final approval hearing on August 1, 2019, and the state court scheduled a final approval hearing for November 13, 2019. Fourth, multiple employment litigation matters have been brought against Wells Fargo, including an Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) class action in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on behalf of 401(k) plan participants that has been dismissed and is now on appeal; a class action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of team members who allege that they protested sales practice misconduct and/or were terminated for not meeting sales goals that has now been dismissed, and we have entered into a framework with plaintiffs’ counsel to address individual claims that have been asserted; various wage and hour class actions brought in federal and state court in California and Pennsylvania (which have been settled), and in New Jersey on behalf of non-exempt branch based team members alleging that sales pressure resulted in uncompensated overtime; and multiple single plaintiff Sarbanes-Oxley Act complaints and state law whistleblower actions filed with the United States Department of Labor or in various state courts alleging adverse employment actions for raising sales practice misconduct issues.
RMBS TRUSTEE LITIGATION
In November 2014, a group of institutional investors (Institutional Investor Plaintiffs), including funds affiliated with BlackRock, Inc., filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., alleging claims against the Company in its capacity as trustee for a number of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) trusts (Federal Court Complaint). Similar complaints have been filed against other trustees in various courts, including in the Southern District of New York, in New York state court, and in other states, by RMBS investors. The Federal Court Complaint alleged that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, caused losses to investors and asserted causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, notify investors of alleged events of default, and abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Plaintiffs sought money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. In December 2014 and December 2015, certain other investors filed additional complaints alleging similar claims against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in the Southern District of New York (Related Federal Cases). In January 2016, the Southern District of New York entered an order in connection with the Federal Court
Complaint dismissing claims related to certain of the trusts at issue (Dismissed Trusts). The Company’s subsequent motion to dismiss the Federal Court Complaint and the complaints for the Related Federal Cases was granted in part and denied in part in March 2017. In May 2017, the Company filed third-party complaints against certain investment advisors affiliated with the Institutional Investor Plaintiffs seeking contribution with respect to claims alleged in the Federal Court Complaint (Third-Party Claims).
In December 2016, the Institutional Investor Plaintiffs filed a new putative class action complaint in New York state court in respect of
261
RMBS trusts, including the Dismissed Trusts, for which Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. serves or served as trustee (State Court Action). A complaint raising similar allegations to those in the Federal Court Complaint was filed in May 2016 in New York state court by IKB International and IKB Deutsche Industriebank (IKB Action).
In July 2017, certain of the plaintiffs from the State Court Action filed a civil complaint relating to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.’s setting aside reserves for legal fees and expenses in connection with the liquidation of
eleven
RMBS trusts at issue in the State Court Action (Declaratory Judgment Action). The complaint sought, among other relief, declarations that the Company is not entitled to indemnification, the advancement of funds, or the taking of reserves from trust funds for legal fees and expenses it incurs in defending the claims in the State Court Action.
In May 2019, the New York state court approved a settlement agreement among the Institutional Investor Plaintiffs and the Company pursuant to which, among other terms, the Company paid
$
43
million
to resolve the Federal Court Complaint and the State Court Action. The settlement also resolved the Third Party Claims and the Declaratory Judgment Action. The settlement did not affect the Related Federal Cases or the IKB Action, which remain pending.
SEMINOLE TRIBE TRUSTEE LITIGATION
The Seminole Tribe of Florida filed a complaint in Florida state court alleging that Wells Fargo, as trustee, charged excess fees in connection with the administration of a minor’s trust and failed to invest the assets of the trust prudently. The complaint was later amended to include
three
individual current and former beneficiaries as plaintiffs and to remove the Tribe as a party to the case. In December 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on the grounds that the Tribe is a necessary party and that the individual beneficiaries lack standing to bring claims. The motion was denied in June 2018. Trial is scheduled for February 2020.
WHOLESALE BANKING CONSENT ORDER INVESTIGATION
On November 19, 2015, the Company entered into a consent order with the OCC, pursuant to which the Wholesale Banking group was required to implement customer due diligence standards that include collection of current beneficial ownership information for certain business customers. The Company is responding to inquiries from various federal government agencies regarding potentially inappropriate conduct in connection with the collection of beneficial ownership information.
OUTLOOK
As described above, the Company establishes accruals for legal actions when potential losses associated with the actions become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The high end of the range of reasonably possible potential losses in excess of the Company’s accrual for probable and estimable losses was approximately
$
3.6
billion
as of
September 30, 2019
. The outcomes of legal actions are unpredictable and subject to
120
Note 14: Legal Actions (
continued
)
significant uncertainties, and it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible. It is also inherently difficult to estimate the amount of any loss and there may be matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible but not currently estimable. Accordingly, actual losses may be in excess of the established accrual or the range of reasonably possible loss. Wells Fargo is unable to determine whether the ultimate resolution of the retail sales practices matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage, and established reserves, Wells Fargo believes that the eventual outcome of other actions against Wells Fargo and/or its subsidiaries will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Wells Fargo’s consolidated financial condition. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of a matter, if unfavorable, may be material to Wells Fargo’s results of operations for any particular period.

Note 15: Derivatives
We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. We designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship (fair value or cash flow hedge). Our remaining derivatives consist of economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and derivatives held for customer accommodation trading or other purposes. For more information on our derivative activities, see Note 17 (Derivatives) in our
2018
Form 10-K.
Table 15.1
presents the total notional or contractual amounts and fair values for our derivatives. Derivative transactions can be measured in terms of the notional amount, but this amount is not recorded on the balance sheet and is not, when viewed in isolation, a meaningful measure of the risk profile of the instruments. The notional amount is generally not exchanged but is used only as the basis on which interest and other payments are determined.

Note 15: Derivatives (
continued
)
Table 15.2
provides information on the gross fair values of derivative assets and liabilities, the balance sheet netting adjustments and the resulting net fair value amount recorded on our balance sheet, as well as the non-cash collateral associated with such arrangements. We execute substantially all of our derivative transactions under master netting arrangements and reflect all derivative balances and related cash collateral subject to enforceable master netting arrangements on a net basis within the balance sheet. The “Gross amounts recognized” column in the following table includes
$
40.3
billion
and
$
39.4
billion
of gross derivative assets and liabilities, respectively, at
September 30, 2019
, and
$
30.9
billion
and
$
28.4
billion
, respectively, at
December 31, 2018
, with counterparties subject to enforceable master netting arrangements that are carried on the balance sheet net of offsetting amounts. The remaining gross derivative assets and liabilities of
$
5.3
billion
and
$
3.6
billion
, respectively, at
September 30, 2019
, and
$
3.7
billion
and
$
3.6
billion
, respectively, at
December 31, 2018
, include those with counterparties subject to master netting arrangements for which we have not assessed the enforceability because they are with counterparties where we do not currently have positions to offset, those subject to master netting arrangements where we have not been able to confirm the enforceability and those not subject to master netting arrangements. As such, we do not net derivative balances or collateral within the balance sheet for these counterparties.
We determine the balance sheet netting adjustments based on the terms specified within each master netting arrangement. We disclose the balance sheet netting amounts within the column titled “Gross amounts offset in consolidated balance sheet.” Balance sheet netting adjustments are determined at the counterparty level for which there may be multiple contract types. For disclosure purposes, we allocate these netting adjustments to the contract type for each counterparty proportionally based upon the “Gross amounts recognized” by counterparty. As a result, the net amounts disclosed by contract type may not represent the actual exposure upon settlement of the contracts.
We do not net non-cash collateral that we receive and pledge on the balance sheet. For disclosure purposes, we present the fair value of this non-cash collateral in the column titled “Gross amounts not offset in consolidated balance sheet (Disclosure-only netting)” within the table. We determine and allocate the Disclosure-only netting amounts in the same manner as balance sheet netting amounts.
The “Net amounts” column within
Table 15.2
represents the aggregate of our net exposure to each counterparty after considering the balance sheet and Disclosure-only netting adjustments. We manage derivative exposure by monitoring the credit risk associated with each counterparty using counterparty specific credit risk limits, using master netting arrangements and obtaining collateral. Derivative contracts executed in over-the-counter markets include bilateral contractual arrangements that are not cleared through a central clearing organization but are typically subject to master netting arrangements. The percentage of our bilateral derivative transactions outstanding at period end in such markets, based on gross fair value, is provided within the following table. Other derivative contracts executed in over-the-counter or exchange-traded markets are settled through a central clearing organization and are excluded from this percentage. In addition to the netting amounts included in the table, we also have balance sheet netting related to resale and repurchase agreements that are disclosed within Note 13 (Guarantees, Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments).

Over-the-counter percentages are calculated based on gross amounts recognized as of the respective balance sheet date.
Fair Value and Cash Flow Hedges
For fair value hedges, we use interest rate swaps to convert certain of our fixed-rate long-term debt and time certificates of deposit to floating rates to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk. We also enter into cross-currency swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk associated with the issuance of non-U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt. In addition, we use interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts to hedge against changes in fair value of certain investments in available-for-sale debt securities due to changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates, or both. We also use interest rate swaps to hedge
against changes in fair value for certain mortgage loans held for sale.
For cash flow hedges, we use interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in interest payments received on certain floating-rate commercial loans and paid on certain floating-rate debt due to changes in the contractually specified interest rate.
We estimate
$
235
million
pre-tax of deferred net losses related to cash flow hedges in OCI at
September 30, 2019
, will be reclassified into net interest income during the next twelve months. The deferred losses expected to be reclassified into net interest income are predominantly related to discontinued hedges of floating rate loans. For cash flow hedges as of
September 30, 2019
, we are hedging the variability of future cash flows for a maximum of
11
years
. For more information on our

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We use economic hedge derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of certain residential MLHFS, residential MSRs measured at fair value, derivative loan commitments and other interests held. We also use economic hedge derivatives to mitigate the periodic earnings volatility caused by mismatches between the changes in fair value of the hedged item and hedging instrument recognized on our fair value accounting hedges. The resulting gain or loss on these economic hedge derivatives is reflected in mortgage banking noninterest income, net gains (losses) from equity investments and other noninterest income.
The derivatives used to hedge MSRs measured at fair value, resulted in net derivative gains (losses) of
$
678
million
and
$
2.8
billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2019
, respectively, and
$(
501
) million
and
$(
2.0
) billion
in the
third
quarter and
first nine months of 2018
, respectively, which are included in mortgage banking noninterest income. The aggregate fair value of these derivatives was a net
asset
of
$
6
million
at
September 30, 2019
, and net asset of
$
757
million
at
December 31, 2018
. The change in fair value of these derivatives for each period end is due to changes in the underlying market indices and interest rates as well as the purchase and sale of derivative financial instruments throughout the period as part of our dynamic MSR risk management process.
Loan commitments for mortgage loans that we intend to sell are considered derivatives. The aggregate fair value of derivative loan commitments on the balance sheet was a net
positive
fair value of
$
32
million
at
September 30, 2019
, and a net
positive
fair value of
$
60
million
at
December 31, 2018
, and is included in the caption “Interest rate contracts” under “Customer accommodation trading and other derivatives” in
Table 15.1
in this Note.

Credit Derivatives
Credit derivative contracts are arrangements whose value is derived from the transfer of credit risk of a reference asset or entity from one party (the purchaser of credit protection) to another party (the seller of credit protection). We use credit derivatives to assist customers with their risk management objectives. We may also use credit derivatives in structured product transactions or liquidity agreements written to special purpose vehicles. The maximum exposure of sold credit derivatives is managed through posted collateral, purchased credit derivatives and similar products in order to achieve our desired credit risk profile. This credit risk management provides
an ability to recover a significant portion of any amounts that would be paid under the sold credit derivatives. We would be
required to perform under sold credit derivatives in the event of default by the referenced obligors. Events of default include events such as bankruptcy, capital restructuring or lack of principal and/or interest payment. In certain cases, other triggers may exist, such as the credit downgrade of the referenced obligors or the inability of the special purpose vehicle for which we have provided liquidity to obtain funding.

Protection sold represents the estimated maximum exposure to loss that would be incurred under an assumed hypothetical circumstance, where the value of our interests and any associated collateral declines to zero, without any consideration of recovery or offset from any economic hedges. We believe this hypothetical circumstance to be a remote possibility and accordingly, this required disclosure is not an indication of expected loss. The amounts under non-investment grade represent the notional amounts of those credit derivatives on which we have a higher risk of being required to perform under the terms of the credit derivative and are a function of the underlying assets.
We consider the risk of performance to be high if the underlying assets under the credit derivative have an external rating that is below investment grade or an internal credit default grade that is equivalent thereto. We believe the net protection sold, which is representative of the net notional amount of protection sold and purchased with identical underlyings, in combination with other protection purchased, is more representative of our exposure to loss than either non-investment grade or protection sold. Other protection purchased represents additional protection, which may offset the exposure to loss for protection sold, that was not purchased with an identical underlying of the protection sold.
130
Note 15: Derivatives (
continued
)
Credit-Risk Contingent Features
Certain of our derivative contracts contain provisions whereby if the credit rating of our debt were to be downgraded by certain major credit rating agencies, the counterparty could demand additional collateral or require termination or replacement of derivative instruments in a net liability position. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position was
$
11.7
billion
at
September 30, 2019
, and
$
7.4
billion
at
December 31, 2018
, for which we posted
$
9.9
billion
and
$
5.6
billion
, respectively, in collateral in the normal course of business. A credit rating below investment grade is the credit-risk-related contingent feature that if triggered requires the maximum amount of collateral to be posted. If the credit rating of our debt had been downgraded below investment grade, we would have been required to post additional collateral of
$
1.8
billion
for both
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, or potentially settle the contract in an amount equal to its fair value. Some contracts require that we provide more collateral than the fair value of derivatives that are in a net liability position if a downgrade occurs.
Counterparty Credit Risk
By using derivatives, we are exposed to counterparty credit risk if counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as expected. If a counterparty fails to perform, our counterparty credit risk is equal to the amount reported as a derivative asset on our balance sheet. The amounts reported as a derivative asset are derivative contracts in a gain position, and to the extent subject to legally enforceable master netting arrangements, net of derivatives in a loss position with the same counterparty and cash collateral received. We minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, executing master netting arrangements and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. To the extent the master netting arrangements and other criteria meet the applicable requirements, including determining the legal enforceability of the arrangement, it is our policy to present derivative balances and related cash collateral amounts net on the balance sheet. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments (CVA) to reflect counterparty credit risk in determining the fair value of our derivatives. Such adjustments, which consider the effects of enforceable master netting agreements and collateral arrangements, reflect market-based views of the credit quality of each counterparty. Our CVA calculation is determined based on observed credit spreads in the credit default swap market and indices indicative of the credit quality of the counterparties to our derivatives.
131
Note 16: Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in
Table 16.2
in this Note. From time to time, we may be required to record fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of LOCOM accounting, measurement alternative accounting for nonmarketable equity securities or write-downs of individual assets. Assets recorded on a nonrecurring basis are presented in
Table 16.1
3
in this Note.
See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our
2018
Form 10-K for discussion of how we determine fair value. For descriptions of the valuation methodologies we use for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis and for estimating fair value for financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value, see Note 18 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) in our
2018
Form 10-K.
FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
We group our assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
•
Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
•
Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
•
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from techniques that use significant assumptions that are not observable in the
market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
We do not classify an equity security in the fair value hierarchy if we use the non-published net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) that has been communicated to us as an investor as a practical expedient to measure fair value. We use NAV per share as the fair value measurement for certain nonmarketable equity fund investments. Marketable equity securities with published NAVs continue to be classified in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value Measurements from Vendors
For certain assets and liabilities, we obtain fair value measurements from vendors and record the unadjusted fair value in our financial statements. For additional information, see Note 18 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) in our
2018
Form 10-K. The unadjusted fair value measurements obtained from brokers for available-for-sale debt securities were
$
45
million
in Level 2 assets and
$
126
million
in Level 3 assets at September 30, 2019, and
$
45
million
and
$
129
million
at December 31, 2018, respectively.
Table 16.1
presents unadjusted fair value measurements obtained from third-party pricing services by fair value hierarchy level. Fair value measurements obtained from third-party pricing services that we have adjusted to determine the fair value recorded in our financial statements are excluded from
Table 16.1
.

We monitor the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy and transfer between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 accordingly. Observable market data includes but is not limited to quoted prices and market transactions. Changes in economic conditions or market liquidity generally will drive changes in availability of observable market data. Changes in availability of observable market data, which also may result in
changing the valuation technique used, are generally the cause of transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. The amounts reported as transfers represent the fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred.
The changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the
quarter ended September 30, 2019
, are presented in
Table 16.3
.

Table 16.11
and
Table 16.12
provide quantitative information about the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of
substantially all
of our Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which we use an internal model.
The significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets and liabilities that are valued using fair values obtained from third party vendors are not included in the table, as the specific inputs applied are not provided by the vendor. In addition, the table excludes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs for certain classes of Level 3 assets and liabilities measured using an internal model that we consider, both individually and in the aggregate, insignificant relative to our overall Level 3 assets and liabilities. We made this determination based upon an evaluation of each class, which considered the magnitude of the positions, nature of the unobservable inputs and potential for significant changes in fair value due to changes in those inputs. For information on how changes in significant unobservable inputs affect the fair values of Level 3 assets and liabilities, see Note 18 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) in our
2018
Form 10-K.

Note 16: Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities (
continued
)
The valuation techniques used for our Level 3 assets and liabilities, as presented in the previous tables, are described as follows:
•
Discounted cash flow
– Discounted cash flow valuation techniques generally consist of developing an estimate of future cash flows that are expected to occur over the life of an instrument and then discounting those cash flows at a rate of return that results in the fair value amount.
•
Market comparable pricing
– Market comparable pricing valuation techniques are used to determine the fair value of certain instruments by incorporating known inputs, such as recent transaction prices, pending transactions, or prices of other similar investments that require significant adjustment to reflect differences in instrument characteristics.
•
Option model
– Option model valuation techniques are generally used for instruments in which the holder has a contingent right or obligation based on the occurrence of a future event, such as the price of a referenced asset going above or below a predetermined strike price. Option models estimate the likelihood of the specified event occurring by incorporating assumptions such as volatility estimates, price of the underlying instrument and expected rate of return.
•
Vendor-priced
– Prices obtained from third party pricing vendors or brokers that are used to record the fair value of the asset or liability for which the related valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs are not provided.
Significant unobservable inputs presented in the previous tables are those we consider significant to the fair value of the Level 3 asset or liability. We consider unobservable inputs to be significant if by their exclusion the fair value of the Level 3 asset or liability would be impacted by a predetermined percentage change. We also consider qualitative factors, such as nature of the instrument, type of valuation technique used, and the significance of the unobservable inputs relative to other inputs used within the valuation. Following is a description of the significant unobservable inputs provided in the table.
•
Comparability adjustment
– is an adjustment made to observed market data, such as a transaction price in order to reflect dissimilarities in underlying collateral, issuer, rating, or other factors used within a market valuation approach, expressed as a percentage of an observed price.
•
Conversion Factor
– is the risk-adjusted rate in which a particular instrument may be exchanged for another instrument upon settlement, expressed as a percentage change from a specified rate.
•
Correlation factor
– is the likelihood of one instrument changing in price relative to another based on an established relationship expressed as a percentage of relative change in price over a period over time.
•
Cost to service
– is the expected cost per loan of servicing a portfolio of loans, which includes estimates for unreimbursed expenses (including delinquency and foreclosure costs) that may occur as a result of servicing such loan portfolios.
•
Credit spread
– is the portion of the interest rate in excess of a benchmark interest rate, such as Overnight Index Swap (OIS), LIBOR or U.S. Treasury rates, that when applied to an investment captures changes in the obligor’s creditworthiness.
•
Default rate
– is an estimate of the likelihood of not collecting contractual amounts owed expressed as a constant default rate (CDR).
•
Discount rate
– is a rate of return used to calculate the present value of the future expected cash flow to arrive at the fair value of an instrument. The discount rate consists of a benchmark rate component and a risk premium component. The benchmark rate component, for example, OIS, LIBOR or U.S. Treasury rates, is generally observable within the market and is necessary to appropriately reflect the time value of money. The risk premium component reflects the amount of compensation market participants require due to the uncertainty inherent in the instruments’ cash flows resulting from risks such as credit and liquidity.
•
Fall-out factor
– is the expected percentage of loans associated with our interest rate lock commitment portfolio that are likely of not funding.
•
Initial-value servicing
– is the estimated value of the underlying loan, including the value attributable to the embedded servicing right, expressed in basis points of outstanding unpaid principal balance.
•
Loss severity
– is the estimated percentage of contractual cash flows lost in the event of a default.
•
Prepayment rate
– is the estimated rate at which forecasted prepayments of principal of the related loan or debt instrument are expected to occur, expressed as a constant prepayment rate (CPR).
•
Volatility factor
– is the extent of change in price an item is estimated to fluctuate over a specified period of time expressed as a percentage of relative change in price over a period over time.
•
Weighted average life
– is the weighted average number of years an investment is expected to remain outstanding based on its expected cash flows reflecting the estimated date the issuer will call or extend the maturity of the instrument or otherwise reflecting an estimate of the timing of an instrument’s cash flows whose timing is not contractually fixed.
145
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of LOCOM accounting, write-downs of individual assets or use of the measurement alternative for nonmarketable equity
securities.
Table 16.1
3
provides the fair value hierarchy and fair value at the date of the nonrecurring fair value adjustment for all assets that were still held as of
September 30, 2019
, and
December 31, 2018
, and for which a nonrecurring fair value adjustment was recorded during the nine months ended
September 30, 2019

Table 16.15
provides quantitative information about the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of substantially all of our Level 3 assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using an internal model. The table is limited to financial instruments that had nonrecurring fair value adjustments during the periods presented.
We have excluded from the table valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs for certain classes of Level 3
assets measured using an internal model that we consider, both individually and in the aggregate, insignificant relative to our overall Level 3 nonrecurring measurements. We made this determination based upon an evaluation of each class that considered the magnitude of the positions, nature of the unobservable inputs and potential for significant changes in fair value due to changes in those inputs.

Fair Value Option
The fair value option is an irrevocable election, generally only permitted upon initial recognition of financial assets or liabilities, to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. We may elect the fair value option to align the measurement model with how the financial assets or liabilities are managed or to reduce complexity
or accounting asymmetry. For more information, including the basis for our fair value option elections, see Note 18 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) in our
2018
Form 10-K.
Table 16.16
reflects differences between the fair value carrying amount of the assets for which we have elected the fair value option and the contractual aggregate unpaid principal amount at maturity.

The assets accounted for under the fair value option are initially measured at fair value. Gains and losses from initial measurement and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
The changes in fair value related to initial
measurement and subsequent changes in fair value included in earnings for these assets measured at fair value are shown in

For performing loans, instrument-specific credit risk gains or losses were derived principally by determining the change in fair value of the loans due to changes in the observable or implied credit spread. Credit spread is the market yield on the loans less the relevant risk-free benchmark interest rate. For nonperforming loans, we attribute all changes in fair value to
instrument-specific credit risk.
Table 16.18
shows the estimated gains and losses from earnings attributable to instrument-specific credit risk related to assets accounted for under the fair value option.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Table 16.19
is a summary of fair value estimates for financial instruments, excluding financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, as they are included within
Table 16.2
in this Note. The carrying amounts in the following table are recorded on the balance sheet under the indicated captions.
We have not included assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments in our disclosure, such as the value of the long-term relationships with our deposit, credit card and trust customers, amortized MSRs, premises and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles, deferred taxes and other liabilities.
The total of the fair value calculations presented does not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.

Note 17: Preferred Stock (

ESOP CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
All shares of our ESOP Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (ESOP Preferred Stock) were issued to a trustee acting on behalf of the Wells Fargo & Company 401(k) Plan (the 401(k) Plan). Dividends on the ESOP Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date of initial issuance and are payable quarterly at annual rates based upon the year of issuance. Each share of ESOP Preferred Stock released from the unallocated reserve of the 401(k) Plan is converted into shares of our common stock based on the stated
value of the ESOP Preferred Stock and the then current market price of our common stock. The ESOP Preferred Stock is also convertible at the option of the holder at any time, unless previously redeemed. We have the option to redeem the ESOP Preferred Stock at any time, in whole or in part, at a redemption price per share equal to the higher of (a)
$
1,000
per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends or (b) the fair market value, as defined in the Certificates of Designation for the ESOP Preferred Stock.

Note 18: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (
continued
)
We provide services to customers which have related performance obligations that we complete to recognize revenue. Our revenues are generally recognized either immediately upon the completion of our service or over time as we perform services. Any services performed over time generally require that we render services each period and therefore we measure our progress in completing these services based upon the passage of time.
SERVICE CHARGES ON DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS
are earned on depository accounts for commercial and consumer customers and include fees for account and overdraft services. Account
charges include fees for periodic account maintenance activities and event-driven services such as stop payment fees. Our obligation for event-driven services is satisfied at the time of the event when the service is delivered, while our obligation for maintenance services is satisfied over the course of each month. Our obligation for overdraft services is satisfied at the time of the overdraft.

presents our service charges on deposit accounts by operating segment.

BROKERAGE ADVISORY, COMMISSIONS AND OTHER FEES
are earned for providing full-service and discount brokerage services predominantly to retail brokerage clients. These revenues include fees earned on asset-based and transactional accounts and other brokerage advisory services.
Asset-based revenues are charged based on the market value of the client’s assets. The services and related obligations associated with certain of these revenues, which include investment advice, active management of client assets, or assistance with selecting and engaging a third-party advisory manager, are generally satisfied over a month or quarter. The remaining revenues include trailing commissions which are earned for selling shares to investors. Our obligation associated with earning trailing commissions is satisfied at the time shares are sold. However, these fees are received and recognized over time during the period the customer owns the shares and we remain the broker of record. The amount of trailing commissions is variable based on the length of time the customer holds the shares and on changes in the value of the underlying assets.
Transactional revenues are earned for executing transactions at the client’s direction. Our obligation is generally satisfied upon the execution of the transaction and the fees are based on the size and number of transactions executed.
Other revenues earned from other brokerage advisory services include omnibus and networking fees received from mutual fund companies in return for providing record keeping and other administrative services, and annual account maintenance fees charged to customers.

TRUST AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
are earned for providing trust, investment management and other related services.
Investment management services include managing and administering assets, including mutual funds, and institutional separate accounts. Fees for these services are generally determined based on a tiered scale relative to the market value of assets under management (AUM). In addition to AUM, we have client assets under administration (AUA) that earn various administrative fees which are generally based on the extent of the services provided to administer the account. Services with AUM
and AUA-based fees are generally performed over time.
Trust services include acting as a trustee or agent for corporate trust, personal trust, and agency assets. Obligations for trust services are generally satisfied over time, while obligations for activities that are transactional in nature are satisfied at the time of the transaction.
Other related services include the custody and safekeeping of accounts. Our obligation for these services is generally satisfied over time.

Note 22: Operating Segments
We have
three
reportable operating segments: Community Banking; Wholesale Banking; and Wealth and Investment Management (WIM). We define our operating segments by product type and customer segment and their results are based on our management accounting process, for which there is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance equivalent to GAAP for financial accounting. The management accounting process measures the performance of the operating segments based on
our management structure and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for other financial services companies. If the management structure and/or the allocation process changes, allocations, transfers and assignments may change. For a description of our operating segments see Note 26 (Operating Segments) in our
2018
Form 10-K.
Table 22.1
presents our results by operating segment.

Note 23: Regulatory and Agency Capital Requirements
The Company and each of its subsidiary banks are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements promulgated by federal bank regulatory agencies. The Federal Reserve establishes capital requirements for the consolidated financial holding company, and the OCC has similar requirements for the Company’s national banks, including Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the Bank).
Table 23.1
presents regulatory capital information for Wells Fargo & Company and the Bank using Basel III, which increased minimum required capital ratios, and introduced a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio. We must report the lower of our CET1, tier 1 and total capital ratios calculated under the Standardized Approach and under the Advanced Approach in the assessment of our capital adequacy. The Standardized Approach applies assigned risk weights to broad risk categories, while the calculation of risk-weighted assets (RWAs) under the Advanced Approach differs by requiring applicable banks to utilize a risk-sensitive methodology, which relies upon the use of internal credit models, and includes an operational risk component. The
Basel III capital rules are being phased-in effective January 1, 2014, through the end of 2021. Beginning January 1, 2018, the requirements for calculating CET1 and tier 1 capital, along with RWAs, became fully phased-in. Accordingly, the information presented reflects fully phased-in CET1 capital, tier 1 capital, and RWAs, but reflects total capital still in accordance with Transition Requirements.
The Bank is an approved seller/servicer of mortgage loans and is required to maintain minimum levels of shareholders’ equity, as specified by various agencies, including the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, GNMA, FHLMC and FNMA. At
September 30, 2019
, the Bank met these requirements. Other subsidiaries, including the Company’s insurance and broker-dealer subsidiaries, are also subject to various minimum capital levels, as defined by applicable industry regulations. The minimum capital levels for these subsidiaries, and related restrictions, are not significant to our consolidated operations.
