 our leasing business is evaluated and managed in the divisions and overseen by risk management processes. In our asset-based lending business, we also use residual value guarantees to mitigate or partially mitigate exposure to end of lease residual value exposure on certain of our finance leases. Our business process consists of: (1) setting residual values at transaction inception, (2) systematic periodic residual value reviews, and (3) monitoring levels of residual realizations. Residual realizations, by business and product, are reviewed as part of the quarterly financial and asset quality review. Reviews for impairment are performed at least annually.

In combination with other risk management and monitoring practices, asset risk is monitored through reviews of the equipment markets, including utilization rates and traffic flows; the evaluation of supply and demand dynamics; the impact of new technologies; and changes in regulatory requirements on different types of equipment. At a high level, demand for equipment is correlated with GDP growth trends for the markets the equipment serves, as well as the more immediate conditions of those markets. Cyclicality in the economy and shifts in trade flows due to specific events represent risks to the earnings that can be realized by these businesses. In the Rail segment, BancShares seeks to mitigate these risks by maintaining a relatively young fleet of assets, which can bolster attractive lease and utilization rates.

CAPITAL

Capital requirements applicable to BancShares are discussed in the “Regulatory Considerations” section in Item 1. Business of the 2024 Form 10-K, including a discussion of an NPR issued on July 27, 2023 by the federal banking agencies regarding enhanced capital requirements. We will continue to monitor the status of the NPR.

BancShares’ total consolidated assets are between $100 billion and $250 billion, and, as such, BancShares is required to comply with certain enhanced prudential standards applicable to Category IV banking organizations, subject to the applicable transition periods. Additionally, an NPR released by federal banking agencies on August 29, 2023, could change the long-term debt requirements for banks with total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more. If this NPR is finalized as proposed, we expect we would need to issue additional long-term debt to satisfy the requirements. For further discussion, refer to the section entitled “Regulatory Considerations—Enhanced Prudential Standards—Proposed Long-Term Debt & Clean Holding Company Requirements” in Item 1. Business of the 2024 Form 10-K.
