 ACL. When a borrower experiences financial difficulty, we sometimes modify or restructure loans, which may include delays in payment of amounts due, forgiveness of principal, extension of the terms of the notes or a reduction in the interest rates on the notes. These loans are classified as MBFDs. MBFDs are loans modified for the purpose of alleviating temporary impairments to the borrower’s financial condition or cash flows. A workout plan between us and the borrower is designed to provide a bridge for borrower cash flow shortfalls in the near term. ACL for LHFI The ACL for LHFI is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loan balances are charged off against the ACL when management believes the non- collectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Recoveries are recorded as an increase to the ACL for LHFI to the extent they do not exceed the related charge-off amounts. The ACL for LHFI, as reported in our consolidated balance sheets, is adjusted by a provision for credit losses and reduced by the charge-offs of loan amounts, net of recoveries. Management estimates the ACL balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix or delinquency levels or other relevant factors. The credit loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of its two loan portfolios, the consumer loan portfolio and the commercial loan portfolio. These two portfolios are further disaggregated into loan pools, the level at which credit risk is monitored. When computing ACL levels, credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loss history, delinquency status and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Determining the appropriateness of the ACL is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, based on the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in material changes in the ACL and provision for credit losses. Credit Loss Measurement The ACL level is influenced by current conditions related to loan volumes, loan asset quality ratings ("AQR") migration or delinquency status, historical loss experience and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of
