 the economy, portfolio segment and management’s judgment of what can be reasonably supported.  The model reversion period can range from immediate to three years. The allowance for credit losses is calculated over the loan’s contractual life. For term loans, the contractual life is calculated based on the maturity date. For commercial and industrial (“C&I”) revolving loans with no stated maturity date, the contractual life is calculated based on the internal review date. For all other revolving loans, the contractual life is based on either the estimated maturity date or a default date. The contractual term does not include expected extensions, renewals or modifications. The loan portfolio is segmented based on the risk profiles of the loans. Commercial loans are segmented between commercial real estate (“CRE”), which are collateralized by real estate, and C&I, which are typically utilized for general business purposes. CRE is further segmented between land and construction (“LCD”) and improved property, which are generally loans to purchase or refinance owner occupied or non-owner occupied investment properties. LCD loans have a unique risk that the developer or builder may not complete the project or not complete it on time or within budget. Improved property loans are reviewed for risk based on the underlying real estate property such as rental or owner income, appraisal value and other current lease terms, which affect debt service coverage and loan to value. Retail loans are a homogenous group, generally consisting of standardized products that are smaller in amount and distributed over a large number of individual borrowers. The group is segmented into three categories – residential real estate, HELOC and consumer. Contractual terms are adjusted for estimated prepayments to arrive at expected cash flows. Wesbanco models term loans with an annualized “prepayment” rate. When Wesbanco has a specific expectation of differing payment behavior for a given loan, the loan may be evaluated individually. For revolving loans that do not have a principal payment schedule, a curtailment rate is factored into the cash flow.The evaluation also considers qualitative factors such as economic trends and conditions, which includes levels of regional unemployment, real estate values and the impact on specific industries and geographical markets, changes in lending policies and underwriting standards, delinquency and other credit quality trends, concentrations of credit risk, if any, the results of internal loan reviews and examinations by bank regulatory agencies pertaining to the allowance for credit losses. Management relies on observable data from internal and external sources to the extent it is available to evaluate each of these factors and adjusts the model’s quantitative results to reflect the impact these factors may have on probable
