 motivated, in part, by FCB’s determination that the likelihood of reaching the $5 billion loss threshold during the five-year period covered by the Shared-Loss Agreement was remote. Additionally, the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement eliminated the reporting responsibilities associated with the Shared-Loss Agreement. There was no impact to our consolidated balance sheets or statements of income resulting from the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement because there was no loss indemnification asset or true-up liability associated with the Shared-Loss Agreement, primarily based on evaluation of historical loss experience and the credit quality of the Covered Assets (as defined in Note 2—Business Combinations in our 2024 Form 10-K). 

The risk-based capital ratio impacts resulting from the Shared-Loss Termination Agreement are discussed in the “Capital” section of this MD&A.

Changes to the Composition of Reportable Segments

We updated our segment reporting during the first quarter of 2025 as further discussed in Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation. We transferred certain components from the SVB Commercial and General Bank segments to the Commercial Bank segment and modified our segment expense allocation methodology. Segment disclosures for 2024 periods included in this Form 10-Q were recast to reflect the segment reporting updates. Refer to Note 17—Segment Information for descriptions of segment products and services and the “Results by Segment” section of this MD&A. 

Recent Economic, Industry and Regulatory Developments

Entering 2025, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) had reduced the benchmark federal funds rate to a range between 4.25% - 4.50% and maintained this level until its September meeting. During its September meeting, the FOMC reduced the benchmark federal funds rate by a quarter-point, to a range between 4.00% - 4.25%. On October 29, the FOMC again lowered the benchmark federal funds rate by a quarter-point, to a range between 3.75% - 4.00%.  

The Trump administration has imposed, modified and paused tariffs multiple times since the beginning of 2025. Actual and threatened changes to U.S. trade policies have resulted in some countries enacting retaliatory measures. The imposition of increased tariffs and trade restrictions has contributed to uncertainty and volatility in the global financial markets. The current tariff environment is dynamic, and we are closely monitoring both the impact and potential impact of such measures on our business, our customers and on overall economic conditions in the United States.
