INSURED INSTITUTION PERFORMANCE

Deteriorating Economic Activity Negatively Affects Banking Industry Profitability

Quarterly Net Income Falls 69.6 Percent From First Quarter 2019

Loan and Lease Balances and Deposits Register Strong Growth

Asset Quality Metrics Remain Relatively Stable

The Number of Banks on the “Problem Bank List” Remains Low

Quarterly Net Income 

Falls by 69.6 Percent 

From First Quarter 2019

Aggregate net income for the 5,116 FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions totaled $18.5 billion during first quarter 2020, a decline of $42.2 billion (69.6 percent) 

from a year ago.1 The decline in net income is a reflection of deteriorating economic activity, which resulted in an increase in provision expenses and goodwill impairment charges. 

The decline was broad-based, as slightly more than half (55.9 percent) of all banks reported 

annual declines in net income.2 The share of unprofitable banks increased from a year ago 

to 7.3 percent. The average return on assets ratio declined from 1.35 percent in first quarter 

2019 to 0.38 percent in the current quarter.

Net Interest Income 

Declines 1.4 Percent 

From 12 Months Ago

On an annual basis, net interest income declined for the second consecutive quarter, falling 

by $2 billion (1.4 percent) from a year ago. Less than half (44.6 percent) of all banks reported 

annual declines in net interest income. The average net interest margin (NIM) for the banking industry was down 29 basis points from a year ago to 3.13 percent, as the decline in average earning asset yields outpaced the decline in average funding costs. The year-over-year 

compression of the NIM was broad-based, as it declined for all five asset size groups featured 

in the Quarterly Banking Profile.

2 FDIC QUARTERLY

Noninterest Income 

Increases 2.3 Percent 

From a Year Ago

Noninterest income of $66.9 billion increased by $1.5 billion (2.3 percent) from 12 months ago. 

The annual increase was broad-based, as almost two-thirds (64.7 percent) of all banks reported 

higher noninterest income. The year-over-year increase in noninterest income was led by 

the all other noninterest income category, which includes merchant credit card fees, annual 

credit card fees, and credit card interchange fees.3 This category of income rose by $6.6 billion 

(22.7 percent), but was partially offset by declines in trading revenue on equity contracts (down 

$3.9 billion, or 136 percent) and servicing fee income (down $3.3 billion, or 215.3 percent).

Noninterest Expense 

Increases Almost 12 Percent 

From First Quarter 2019

Noninterest expense increased by $13.6 billion (11.8 percent) from a year ago. Goodwill 

impairment charges, driven by a few institutions, rose by $8.4 billion. Approximately three 

out of every four banks (72.2 percent) reported annual increases in noninterest expense. 

All other noninterest expense rose by $3.4 billion (7.3 percent), and salary and employee 

benefits grew by $1.4 billion (2.5 percent). The average assets per employee increased from 

$8.8 million in first quarter 2019 to $9.8 million in first quarter 2020.

Provisions for Credit Losses 

Increase From a Year Ago

Due to deteriorating economic conditions and the implementation of the current expected 

credit losses (CECL) accounting methodology, which requires banks to allocate for expected 

losses over the life of the loan, provisions for credit losses increased by $38.8 billion 

(279.9 percent) from a year ago to $52.7 billion. Two hundred forty-three banks adopted the 

CECL accounting standards in the first quarter. These institutions reported an aggregate 

$47.6 billion in provisions for credit losses. Almost half (49.9 percent) of all banks reported 

year-over-year increases in provisions for credit losses.

Net Charge-Offs Rise 

Almost 15 Percent 

From a Year Ago

Net charge-offs totaled $14.6 billion in the first quarter, an increase of $1.9 billion 

(14.9 percent) from a year ago. Slightly more than two-thirds (68 percent) of the increase in 

total net charge-offs was in the commercial and industrial (C&I) loan portfolio. C&I loan 

portfolio net charge-offs increased by $1.3 billion (86.9 percent). Credit card portfolio net 

charge-offs increased by $387.3 million (4.4 percent). The average net charge-off rate rose by 

5 basis points from a year ago to 0.55 percent. The C&I net charge-off rate rose by 20 basis 

points from a year ago to 0.47 percent but remains below a recent high of 0.50 percent.

3 Other noninterest income includes service charges, commissions, and fees for services such as the rental of safe deposit boxes, 

notarization of forms and documents, and the use of automated teller machines. The category also includes interchange fees 

earned from bank card and credit card transactions and credits resulting from litigation or other claims.

FDIC QUARTERLY 3

Noncurrent Loan Rate 

Remains Stable at 

0.93 Percent

Noncurrent loan balances (90 days or more past due or in nonaccrual status) increased 

by $7 billion (7.3 percent) from the previous quarter, the highest quarterly dollar increase 

since first quarter 2010. Slightly less than half (46 percent) of all banks reported quarterly 

increases in noncurrent loan balances. Noncurrent loan balances in all major loan categories 

increased from the previous quarter. C&I noncurrent loan balances increased by $3.6 billion 

(20.7 percent) and nonfarm nonresidential noncurrent loan balances increased by $2 billion 

(25.3 percent). The average noncurrent loan rate rose just 2 basis points from the previous 

quarter to 0.93 percent, because of an increase in total loans and leases that also occurred in 

the quarter. The C&I noncurrent rate increased by 4 basis points from the previous quarter 

to 0.83 percent.

Total Assets Rise 8.6 Percent 

From Fourth Quarter 2019

Total assets rose by $1.6 trillion (8.6 percent) from the previous quarter, driven by increases 

in cash and balances due from depository institutions (up $740.4 billion, or 44.4 percent) 

and loan and lease balances (up $442.9 billion, or 4.2 percent). Banks increased their securities holdings by $226.9 billion (5.7 percent) during the first quarter, with most of the growth 

led by mortgage-backed securities (up $152.6 billion, or 6.4 percent). With recent short-term 

rate reductions in the first quarter, unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities rose by 

$41.8 billion (151.7 percent) and unrealized gains on held-to-maturity securities grew by 

$18.4 billion (110.2 percent).

Loan Balances Register 

Strong Growth From the 

Previous Quarter and a 

Year Ago

Total loan and lease balances expanded by $442.9 billion (4.2 percent) from the previous 

quarter. Slightly more than half (58.7 percent) of all banks increased their loan and lease 

balances from fourth quarter 2019. Almost all of the major loan categories reported quarterly 

increases. The C&I loan portfolio increased by $339.4 billion (15.4 percent), with most of 

the growth concentrated at the largest banks. Unfunded C&I loan commitments declined 

by $269 billion (12.7 percent), the largest quarterly dollar decrease in the ten years for which 

data are available. Loans to nondepository institutions grew by $87.0 billion (17.8 percent), 

while credit card balances declined by $68.6 billion (7.3 percent). Over the past 12 months, 

total loan and lease balances rose by $813.7 billion (8 percent), the highest annual growth 

rate since first quarter 2008.

balances for the quarter absent this change in accounting standards.

Deposits Increase 

$1.2 Trillion From the 

Previous Quarter

Total deposit balances grew by $1.2 trillion (8.5 percent) from fourth quarter 2019. Interestbearing accounts increased by $639.6 billion (6.4 percent) and noninterest-bearing accounts 

expanded by $446.3 billion (14.1 percent). Domestic deposits in accounts larger than 

$250,000 increased by $761.4 billion (10.8 percent) from fourth quarter 2019. Deposits held in 

foreign offices rose by $155.9 billion (11.8 percent). Nondeposit liabilities, which include fed 

funds purchased, repurchase agreements, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, and 

secured and unsecured borrowings, increased by $147.1 billion (11.3 percent) from the previous quarter. The rise in nondeposit liabilities was primarily attributable to FHLB advances, 

which increased by $130.2 billion (27 percent). On an annual basis, total deposits increased 

by $1.9 trillion (13.3 percent), the largest year-over-year growth rate ever reported by the 

Quarterly Banking Profile.

Equity Capital Increases 

From the Previous Quarter

Equity capital increased by $4.2 billion (0.2 percent) from the previous quarter. Declared 

dividends of $32.7 billion exceeded the quarterly net income of $18.5 billion, resulting in 

a $14.2 billion reduction of retained earnings. Twelve insured institutions with $2 billion 

in total assets were below the requirements for the well-capitalized category as defined for 

Prompt Corrective Action purposes.

Two New Banks Open in 

First Quarter 2020

The number of FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions declined from 

5,177 to 5,116 during first quarter 2020. Two new banks were added, 57 institutions were 

absorbed by mergers, and one bank failed. The number of institutions on the FDIC’s 

“Problem Bank List” increased from 51 in fourth quarter 2019 to 54. Total assets of problem 

banks declined from $46.2 billion to $44.5 billion.

QUARTERLY BANKING PROFILE

FDIC QUARTERLY 15

COMMUNITY BANK PERFORMANCE

Community banks are identified based on criteria defined in the FDIC’s Community Banking Study. When comparing 

community bank performance across quarters, prior-quarter dollar amounts are based on community banks designated 

in the current quarter, adjusted for mergers. In contrast, prior-quarter performance ratios are based on community banks 

designated during the previous quarter.

Net Income Drops 20.9 Percent Primarily Because of Higher Provisions in Response to Economic Conditions

Net Operating Revenue Rises 4.1 Percent From One Year Ago

Community Bank Loan Growth Holds Steady at 5.8 Percent Year Over Year

Asset Quality Weakens Modestly Through Increase in Noncurrent Loans

Increased Provisions 

Contribute to Lower 

Community Bank Earnings

Net income for community banks fell to $4.8 billion in first quarter 2020, $1.3 billion 

less than the amount reported one year ago. This decline reflects an increase in provision 

expenses resulting in part from bank management teams’ expectations of increased credit 

losses due to the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Provision expenses 

totaled $1.8 billion as of first quarter 2020—three times the amount reported during 

the year-ago quarter. Less than 1 percent of community banks (42 institutions) adopted 

the current expected credit losses (CECL) accounting standard. However, nearly half of 

community banks reported an increase in loan loss provisions compared with the year-ago 

quarter. The increase in provision expenses drove the pretax return on assets (ROA) ratio 

down 38 basis points to 1.02 percent. Still, community banks reported a ROA ratio that was 

59 basis points higher than that of noncommunity banks.

Net Interest Income Rises 

Despite Margin Pressure

Net operating revenue (net interest income plus total noninterest income) totaled $23 billion 

(up $904 million, or 4.1 percent from first quarter 2019), with year-over-year growth in net 

interest income (up 2.1 percent) and noninterest income (up 13 percent). More than half of 

community banks (55.7 percent) reported higher net interest income compared with the 

year-ago quarter. Higher interest income on nonresidential real estate loans (up $477 million, 

or 5.3 percent) and consumer loans (up $111 million, or 11 percent) drove the increase in 

interest income. Despite the improvement in net interest income, the average net interest 

margin (NIM) collar compressed 12 basis points to 3.55 percent compared to the year-ago 

level. A decline in average yields, which outpaced the decline in average funding costs, drove 

the NIM compression.

Noninterest Income Grows 

13 Percent From the 

Year-Ago Level

Net gains on loan sales totaled $461.6 million (up 72.7 percent), as community banks sold 

at a premium loans with greater yields that were made under higher interest rate environments. This increase drove noninterest income up $531 million (13 percent) to $4.6 billion 

compared with the same period one year ago. Nearly two-thirds of community banks 

(64.5 percent) reported higher noninterest income.

Noninterest Expenses Rise 

on Higher Payroll Costs

Noninterest expenses rose $985.7 million (6.9 percent) to $15.3 billion from a year ago. An 

additional $603.3 million (7.3 percent) in payroll expenses drove this increase. Community 

banks added 5,289 full-time employees (up 1.4 percent) to the payroll during the year ending 

first quarter 2020, which supported a 4.5 percent boost in average assets per employee. 

Nearly three-fourths of community banks (72.4 percent) reported higher noninterest 

expenses compared with first quarter 2019. The efficiency ratio was up 2.1 percentage points 

to 66.1 percent year over year, reflecting a slight reduction in operational efficiency.

Community Bank Loan 

Growth Persists Amid 

Weakening Economic 

Conditions

Total loans and leases expanded $87.1 billion (5.8 percent) to $1.6 trillion, with 73 percent of 

community banks reporting growth in loan and lease balances compared with first quarter 

2019. The following major loan categories fueled loan growth: nonfarm nonresidential loans 

(up $34.2 billion, or 7.7 percent), commercial and industrial (C&I) loans (up $14.3 billion, 

or 7.1 percent), 1–4 family residential real estate loans (up $14.1 billion, or 3.3 percent), and 

construction and development (C&D) loans (up $8.2 billion, or 7.7 percent). Unused loan 

commitments totaled $316.6 billion and were up $21.6 billion (7.3 percent) compared with 

the year-ago level.

Loan growth since the previous quarter totaled $21.3 billion (up 1.4 percent) and was 

primarily driven by the same major loan categories: nonfarm nonresidential loans (up 

$8.9 billion, or 1.9 percent), C&I loans (up $6 billion, or 2.8 percent), 1–4 family residential real estate loans (up $2.6 billion, or 0.7 percent), and C&D loans (up $2.3 billion, or 

2 percent).
QUARTERLY BANKING PROFILE

FDIC QUARTERLY 17

Noncurrent Loan Balances 

Rise 9.2 Percent in the 

First Quarter

Community banks reported a quarterly increase in noncurrent loans (up $1.1 billion, or 

9.2 percent). Growth in noncurrent loans was most pronounced in the following categories: nonfarm nonresidential loans (up $350.4 million, or 12.1 percent), C&I loans (up 

$242 million, or 12.9 percent), and farm loans (up $238.9 million, or 14 percent). Of these 

categories, noncurrent farm loans as a percentage of total farm loans registered the highest increase for the quarter—20 basis points to 1.53 percent. Most of the deterioration in 

the farm loan portfolio was in the farm land category. The noncurrent rate for farm land 

loans rose 27 basis points during the same period to 1.75 percent—a high since second 

quarter 2012.

Net Charge-Off Rates 

Remain Relatively Low

Net charge-offs of loans and leases grew $112 million (32.4 percent) year over year but 

declined $249 million (35.2 percent) from the previous quarter. The net charge-off rate for 

total loans was 0.12 percent—7 basis points lower compared with fourth quarter 2019 but 

3 basis points higher when compared with first quarter 2019. The net charge-off rate for 

C&I loans rose the most among major loan categories, up 9 basis points year over year to 

0.27 percent.

Domestic Deposit Growth 

Supports Expanded 

Loan Volume

Domestic deposits of $1.8 trillion grew 1.6 percent in the quarter and 5.4 percent year over 

year. Domestic interest-bearing deposit inflows of $23.6 billion (up 1.7 percent) outpaced that 

of noninterest-bearing deposits of $5.8 billion (up 1.5 percent).

Leverage Capital Ratios 

Hold Steady

Total equity capital grew $2.5 billion (1 percent) during the quarter, and the leverage capital 

ratio increased by 2 basis points to 11.1 percent. The tier 1 risk-based capital ratio for the 

3,013 community banks that did not elect to report under the community bank leverage 

ratio (CBLR) option was 14.18 percent. The average CBLR for the 1,668 banks that made this 

election was 12.19 percent.

Number of Community 

Banks Declines

As of first quarter 2020, the FDIC insured 4,681 community banks, a decline of 69 community banks from the previous quarter. This decline includes 55 mergers or consolidations, 

ten net community bank transitions to noncommunity bank designations, three voluntary 

closures, and one failure.

Insurance Fund Indicators

Insured Deposits Grow by 4.5 Percent in the First Quarter

DIF Reserve Ratio Declines 2 Basis Points to 1.39 Percent

One Institution Fails During the First Quarter

During the first quarter, the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) balance increased by $2.9 billion 

to $113.2 billion. This is the strongest quarterly increase to the DIF since the third quarter of 

2017. Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities of $1.5 billion, assessment income of 

$1.4 billion, and interest earned on investments of $507 million were the largest contributors 

to the increase. Operating expenses of $460 million and a provision for insurance losses of 

$12 million reduced the fund. One institution with assets of $101 million failed during the 

first quarter of 2020, with an estimated cost to the DIF of $14 million.

Domestic deposits held by FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions 

increased by $1.1 trillion (8.2 percent) during the first quarter, the largest quarterly 

increase on record. Domestic savings and interest-bearing checking accounts increased 

by $646.8 billion (8.1 percent), noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $446.3 billion 

(14.1 percent), and time deposits decreased by $7.2 billion (0.4 percent). Deposits held in 

foreign offices increased by $155.9 billion (11.8 percent).

The deposit insurance assessment base—average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity—increased by 2.0 percent in the first quarter and by 5.9 percent over 12 months.1,2

Total estimated insured deposits increased by 4.5 percent ($353.7 billion) in the quarter and 

by 6.2 percent year over year. Excluding the quarters when deposit insurance coverage limits 

were increased in 2009 

3

 and 2010,4 this was the largest one-quarter increase in estimated 

insured deposits since quarterly reporting was adopted in 1991. For institutions reporting as 

of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, estimated insured deposits increased during the 

first quarter at 3,794 institutions (74 percent), decreased at 1,301 institutions (25 percent), 

and remained unchanged at 27 institutions.

The strong quarterly growth in insured deposits more than offset the quarterly increase in 

the DIF. As a result, the DIF reserve ratio declined 2 basis points to 1.39 percent at March 31, 

2020. This was the first quarterly decline for the DIF reserve ratio since the fourth quarter of 

2009. The March 31, 2020, DIF reserve ratio was 3 basis points higher than the previous year.

Small banks earned a total of $765 million in credits for the portion of their assessments 

that contributed to growth in the reserve ratio from 1.15 percent to 1.35 percent. The credits 

are automatically applied to offset the assessments of small banks when the reserve ratio is 

at least 1.35 percent.5 The FDIC will apply estimated credits of $51 million in June to offset 

first quarter assessments. This represents the final quarter that the FDIC will apply credits to 

offset assessments. Over $5 million in credits will remain and be remitted to banks that did 

not fully use their credits during the application period.

1 There are additional adjustments to the assessment base for banker’s banks and custodial banks.

2 Figures for the assessment base and estimated insured deposits include insured branches of foreign banks, in addition to insured 

commercial banks and savings institutions.

3 Beginning September 30, 2009, the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009 increased the permanent deposit insurance 

coverage limit for deposits other than retirement accounts from $100,000 to $250,000.

4 The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act temporarily provided unlimited deposit insurance coverage 

for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012.

5 In November 2019, the FDIC Board of Directors authorized a rule change that would require the FDIC to apply the small bank 

credits in any assessment quarter in which the reserve ratio is at least 1.35 percent. The rule also requires the FDIC to apply the 

small bank credits for four assessment periods and then remit the full nominal value of any remaining small bank credits.

Notes to Users

This publication contains financial data and other information for 

depository institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation (FDIC). These notes are an integral part of this publication and provide information regarding the comparability of source 

data and reporting differences over time.

Tables I-A through VIII-A.

The information presented in Tables I-A through VIII-A of the 

FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile is aggregated for all FDIC-insured 

Call Report filers, both commercial banks and savings institutions. 

Some tables are arrayed by groups of FDIC-insured institutions 

based on predominant types of asset concentration, while other tables 

aggregate institutions by asset size and geographic region. Quarterly 

and full-year data are provided for selected indicators, including 

aggregate condition and income data, performance ratios, condition 

ratios, and structural changes, as well as past due, noncurrent, and 

charge-off information for loans outstanding and other assets.

Tables I-B through VI-B.

The information presented in Tables I-B through VI-B is aggregated 

for all FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions 

meeting the criteria for community banks that were developed for 

the FDIC’s Community Banking Study, published in December, 2012: 

http://www.fdic.gov/regulations/resources/cbi/report/cbi-full.pdf.

The determination of which insured institutions are considered 

community banks is based on five steps.

The first step in defining a community bank is to aggregate all 

charter-level data reported under each holding company into 

a single banking organization. This aggregation applies both to 

balance-sheet measures and the number and location of banking 

offices. Under the FDIC definition, if the banking organization is 

designated as a community bank, every charter reporting under that 

organization is also considered a community bank when working 

with data at the charter level.

The second step is to exclude any banking organization where more 

than 50 percent of total assets are held in certain specialty banking 

charters, including: credit card specialists, consumer nonbank banks, 

industrial loan companies, trust companies, bankers’ banks, and banks 

holding 10 percent or more of total assets in foreign offices.

Once the specialty organizations are removed, the third step involves 

including organizations that engage in basic banking activities as 

measured by the total loans-to-assets ratio (greater than 33 percent) 

and the ratio of core deposits to assets (greater than 50 percent). Core 

deposits are defined as non-brokered deposits in domestic offices. 

Analysis of the underlying data shows that these thresholds establish 

meaningful levels of basic lending and deposit gathering and still 

allow for a degree of diversity in how individual banks construct their 

balance sheets.

The fourth step includes organizations that operate within a limited geographic scope. This limitation of scope is used as a proxy 

measure for a bank’s relationship approach to banking. Banks that 

operate within a limited market area have more ease in managing 

relationships at a personal level. Under this step, four criteria are 

applied to each banking organization. They include both a minimum and maximum number of total banking offices, a maximum 

level of deposits for any one office, and location-based criteria. 

The limits on the number of and deposits per office are adjusted 

upward quarterly. For banking offices, banks must have more than 

one office, and the maximum number of offices is 40 in 1985 and 

reached 87 in 2016. The maximum level of deposits for any one 

office is $1.25 billion in deposits in 1985 and reached $6.97 billion 

in deposits in 2016. The remaining geographic limitations are also 

based on maximums for the number of states (fixed at 3) and large 

metropolitan areas (fixed at 2) in which the organization maintains 

offices. Branch office data are based on the most recent data from 

the annual June 30 Summary of Deposits Survey that are available at 

the time of publication. 

Finally, the definition establishes an asset-size limit, also adjusted 

upward quarterly and below which the limits on banking activities 

and geographic scope are waived. The asset-size limit is $250 million 

in 1985 and reached $1.39 billion in 2016. This final step acknowledges the fact that most of those small banks that are not excluded 

as specialty banks meet the requirements for banking activities and 

geographic limits in any event.

Summary of FDIC Research Definition of Community 

Banking Organizations

Community banks are designated at the level of the banking 

organization.

(All charters under designated holding companies are considered 

community banking charters.)

Exclude: Any organization with:

— No loans or no core deposits

— Foreign Assets ≥ 10% of total assets

— More than 50% of assets in certain specialty banks, including:

• credit card specialists

• consumer nonbank banks1

• industrial loan companies

• trust companies

• bankers’ banks

Include: All remaining banking organizations with:

— Total assets < indexed size threshold 

2

— Total assets ≥ indexed size threshold, where:

• Loan to assets > 33%

• Core deposits to assets > 50%

• More than 1 office but no more than the indexed maximum 

number of offices.3

• Number of large MSAs with offices ≤ 2

• Number of states with offices ≤ 3

• No single office with deposits > indexed maximum branch 

deposit size.4

Tables I-C through IV-C.

A separate set of tables (Tables I-C through IV-C) provides comparative quarterly data related to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), 

problem institutions, failed institutions, estimated FDIC-insured 

deposits, as well as assessment rate information. Depository insti1 Consumer nonbank banks are financial institutions with limited charters that can 

make commercial loans or take deposits, but not both.

2 Asset size threshold indexed to equal $250 million in 1985 and $1.39 billion in 2016.

3 Maximum number of offices indexed to equal 40 in 1985 and 87 in 2016.

4 Maximum branch deposit size indexed to equal $1.25 billion in 1985 and $6.97 billion 

in 2016.
QUARTERLY BANKING PROFILE

tutions that are not insured by the FDIC through the DIF are not 

included in the FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile. U.S. branches of 

institutions headquartered in foreign countries and non-deposit trust 

companies are not included unless otherwise indicated. Efforts are 

made to obtain financial reports for all active institutions. However, 

in some cases, final financial reports are not available for institutions 

that have closed or converted their charters.

DATA SOURCES

The financial information appearing in this publication is obtained 

primarily from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination 

Council (FFIEC) Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income 

(Call Reports) and the OTS Thrift Financial Reports (TFR) submitted 

by all FDIC-insured depository institutions. (TFR filers began filing 

Call Reports effective with the quarter ending March 31, 2012.) This 

information is stored on and retrieved from the FDIC’s Research 

Information System (RIS) database.

COMPUTATION METHODOLOGY

Parent institutions are required to file consolidated reports, while 

their subsidiary financial institutions are still required to file separate reports. Data from subsidiary institution reports are included 

in the Quarterly Banking Profile tables, which can lead to doublecounting. No adjustments are made for any double-counting of subsidiary data. Additionally, certain adjustments are made to the OTS 

Thrift Financial Reports to provide closer conformance with the 

reporting and accounting requirements of the FFIEC Call Reports.

(TFR filers began filing Call Reports effective with the quarter 

ending March 31, 2012.)

All condition and performance ratios represent weighted averages, 

which is the sum of the individual numerator values divided by the 

sum of individual denominator values. All asset and liability figures 

used in calculating performance ratios represent average amounts for 

the period (beginning-of-period amount plus end-of-period amount 

plus any interim periods, divided by the total number of periods). For 

“pooling-of-interest” mergers, the assets of the acquired institution(s) 

are included in average assets, since the year-to-date income includes 

the results of all merged institutions. No adjustments are made for 

“purchase accounting” mergers. Growth rates represent the percentage change over a 12-month period in totals for institutions in the 

base period to totals for institutions in the current period. For the 

community bank subgroup, growth rates will reflect changes over 

time in the number and identities of institutions designated as community banks, as well as changes in the assets and liabilities, and 

income and expenses of group members. Unless indicated otherwise, 

growth rates are not adjusted for mergers or other changes in the 

composition of the community bank subgroup. When community 

bank growth rates are adjusted for mergers, prior period balances 

used in the calculations represent totals for the current group of community bank reporters, plus prior period amounts for any institutions 

that were subsequently merged into current community banks.

All data are collected and presented based on the location of each 

reporting institution’s main office. Reported data may include assets 

and liabilities located outside of the reporting institution’s home 

state. In addition, institutions may relocate across state lines or 

change their charters, resulting in an inter-regional or inter-industry 

migration; institutions can move their home offices between regions, 

savings institutions can convert to commercial banks, or commercial 

banks may convert to savings institutions.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Financial accounting pronouncements by the Financial Accounting 

Standards Board (FASB) can result in changes in an individual 

bank’s accounting policies and in the Call Reports they submit. Such 

accounting changes can affect the aggregate amounts presented in the 

QBP for the current period and the period-to-period comparability of 

such financial data. 

The current quarter’s Financial Institution Letter (FIL) and related 

Call Report supplemental instructions can provide additional explanation to the QBP reader beyond any material accounting changes 

discussed in the QBP analysis.

DEFINITIONS (in alphabetical order)

All other assets – total cash, balances due from depository institutions, premises, fixed assets, direct investments in real estate, 

investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries, customers’ liability on 

acceptances outstanding, assets held in trading accounts, federal 

funds sold, securities purchased with agreements to resell, fair market value of derivatives, prepaid deposit insurance assessments, and 

other assets.

All other liabilities – bank’s liability on acceptances, limited-life preferred stock, allowance for estimated off-balance-sheet credit losses, 

fair market value of derivatives, and other liabilities.

Assessment base – effective April 1, 2011, the deposit insurance 

assessment base changed to “average consolidated total assets minus 

average tangible equity” with an additional adjustment to the assessment base for banker’s banks and custodial banks, as permitted under 

Dodd-Frank. Previously the assessment base was “assessable deposits” and consisted of deposits in banks’ domestic offices with certain 

adjustments.

Assessment rate schedule – Initial base assessment rates for small 

institutions are based on a combination of financial ratios and 

CAMELS component ratings. Initial rates for large institutions—

generally those with at least $10 billion in assets—are also based 

on CAMELS component ratings and certain financial measures 

combined into two scorecards—one for most large institutions and 

another for the remaining very large institutions that are structurally 

and operationally complex or that pose unique challenges and risks 

in case of failure (highly complex institutions). The FDIC may take 

additional information into account to make a limited adjustment to 

a large institution’s scorecard results, which are used to determine a 

large institution’s initial base assessment rate.

While risk categories for small institutions (except new institutions) were eliminated effective July 1, 2016, initial rates for small 

institutions are subject to minimums and maximums based on an 

institution’s CAMELS composite rating. (Risk categories for large 

institutions were eliminated in 2011.)

The current assessment rate schedule became effective July 1, 2016. 

Under the current schedule, initial base assessment rates range 

from 3 to 30 basis points. An institution’s total base assessment rate

may differ from its initial rate due to three possible adjustments: 

(1) Unsecured Debt Adjustment: An institution’s rate may decrease 

by up to 5 basis points for unsecured debt. The unsecured debt 

adjustment cannot exceed the lesser of 5 basis points or 50 percent 

of an institution’s initial base assessment rate (IBAR). Thus, for 

example, an institution with an IBAR of 3 basis points would have a 

maximum unsecured debt adjustment of 1.5 basis points and could 

not have a total base assessment rate lower than 1.5 basis points. 

(2) Depository Institution Debt Adjustment: For institutions that 

hold long-term unsecured debt issued by another insured depository institution, a 50 basis point charge is applied to the amount of 

such debt held in excess of 3 percent of an institution’s Tier 1 capital. 

(3) Brokered Deposit Adjustment: Rates for large institutions that are 

not well capitalized or do not have a composite CAMELS rating of 

1 or 2 may increase (not to exceed 10 basis points) if their brokered 

deposits exceed 10 percent of domestic deposits.

The assessment rate schedule effective July 1, 2016, is shown in the 

following table:

* All amounts for all categories are in basis points annually. Total base rates that 

are not the minimum or maximum rate will vary between these rates. Total base 

assessment rates do not include the depository institution debt adjustment.

 ** Effective July 1, 2016, large institutions are also subject to temporary 

assessment surcharges in order to raise the reserve ratio from 1.15 percent to 

1.35  percent. The surcharges amount to 4.5 basis points of a large institution’s 

assessment base (after making certain adjustments).

Each institution is assigned a risk-based rate for a quarterly assessment period near the end of the quarter following the assessment 

period. Payment is generally due on the 30th day of the last month 

of the quarter following the assessment period. Supervisory rating 

changes are effective for assessment purposes as of the examination 

transmittal date.

Assets securitized and sold – total outstanding principal balance 

of assets securitized and sold with servicing retained or other sellerprovided credit enhancements.

Capital Purchase Program (CPP) – as announced in October 2008 

under the TARP, the Treasury Department purchase of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related warrants that is treated as 

Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes is included in “Total 

equity capital.” Such warrants to purchase common stock or noncumulative preferred stock issued by publicly-traded banks are 

reflected as well in “Surplus.” Warrants to purchase common stock or 

noncumulative preferred stock of not-publicly-traded bank stock are 

classified in a bank’s balance sheet as “Other liabilities.”

Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio – ratio of common equity 

Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets. Common equity Tier 1 capital 

includes common stock instruments and related surplus, retained 

earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), and 

limited amounts of common equity Tier 1 minority interest, minus 

applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions. Items that are fully 

deducted from common equity Tier 1 capital include goodwill, other 

intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing assets) and certain 

deferred tax assets; items that are subject to limits in common equity 

Tier 1 capital include mortgage servicing assets, eligible deferred tax 

assets, and certain significant investments. Beginning March 2020, 

this ratio does not include institutions that have a Community Bank 

Leverage Ratio election in effect at the report date.

Construction and development loans – includes loans for all 

property types under construction, as well as loans for land acquisition and development.

Core capital – common equity capital plus noncumulative perpetual 

preferred stock plus minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries, 

less goodwill and other ineligible intangible assets. The amount of 

eligible intangibles (including servicing rights) included in core capital is limited in accordance with supervisory capital regulations.

Cost of funding earning assets – total interest expense paid on 

deposits and other borrowed money as a percentage of average 

earning assets.

Credit enhancements – techniques whereby a company attempts to 

reduce the credit risk of its obligations. Credit enhancement may be 

provided by a third party (external credit enhancement) or by the 

originator (internal credit enhancement), and more than one type of 

enhancement may be associated with a given issuance.

Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) – the Bank (BIF) and Savings 

Association (SAIF) Insurance Funds were merged in 2006 by the 

Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act to form the DIF.

Derivatives notional amount – the notional, or contractual, amounts 

of derivatives represent the level of involvement in the types of 

derivatives transactions and are not a quantification of market risk or 

credit risk. Notional amounts represent the amounts used to calculate 

contractual cash flows to be exchanged.

Derivatives credit equivalent amount – the fair value of the derivative plus an additional amount for potential future credit exposure 

based on the notional amount, the remaining maturity and type of 

the contract.

Derivatives transaction types:

Futures and forward contracts – contracts in which the buyer 

agrees to purchase and the seller agrees to sell, at a specified future 

date, a specific quantity of an underlying variable or index at a 

specified price or yield. These contracts exist for a variety of variables or indices, (traditional agricultural or physical commodities, 

as well as currencies and interest rates). Futures contracts are 

standardized and are traded on organized exchanges which set 

limits on counterparty credit exposure. Forward contracts do not 

have standardized terms and are traded over the counter.

Option contracts – contracts in which the buyer acquires the right 

to buy from or sell to another party some specified amount of an 

underlying variable or index at a stated price (strike price) during 

a period or on a specified future date, in return for compensation 

(such as a fee or premium). The seller is obligated to purchase or 

sell the variable or index at the discretion of the buyer of the 

contract.

Swaps – obligations between two parties to exchange a series of 

cash flows at periodic intervals (settlement dates), for a specified 

period. The cash flows of a swap are either fixed, or determined 

for each settlement date by multiplying the quantity (notional 
QUARTERLY BANKING PROFILE

principal) of the underlying variable or index by specified reference rates or prices. Except for currency swaps, the notional principal is used to calculate each payment but is not exchanged.

Derivatives underlying risk exposure – the potential exposure characterized by the level of banks’ concentration in particular underlying 

instruments, in general. Exposure can result from market risk, credit 

risk, and operational risk, as well as, interest rate risk.

Domestic deposits to total assets – total domestic office deposits as 

a percent of total assets on a consolidated basis.

Earning assets – all loans and other investments that earn interest or 

dividend income.

Efficiency ratio – Noninterest expense less amortization of intangible 

assets as a percent of net interest income plus noninterest income. 

This ratio measures the proportion of net operating revenues that 

are absorbed by overhead expenses, so that a lower value indicates 

greater efficiency.

Estimated insured deposits – in general, insured deposits are total 

domestic deposits minus estimated uninsured deposits. Beginning 

March 31, 2008, for institutions that file Call Reports, insured deposits are total assessable deposits minus estimated uninsured deposits. 

Beginning September 30, 2009, insured deposits include deposits in 

accounts of $100,000 to $250,000 that are covered by a temporary 

increase in the FDIC’s standard maximum deposit insurance amount 

(SMDIA). The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act enacted on July 21, 2010, made permanent the standard maximum deposit insurance amount (SMDIA) of $250,000. 

Also, the Dodd-Frank Act amended the Federal Deposit Insurance 

Act to include noninterest-bearing transaction accounts as a new 

temporary deposit insurance account category. All funds held in 

noninterest-bearing transaction accounts were fully insured, without 

limit, from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012.

Failed/assisted institutions – an institution fails when regulators 

take control of the institution, placing the assets and liabilities into a 

bridge bank, conservatorship, receivership, or another healthy institution. This action may require the FDIC to provide funds to cover 

losses. An institution is defined as “assisted” when the institution 

remains open and receives assistance in order to continue operating.

Fair Value – the valuation of various assets and liabilities on the 

balance sheet—including trading assets and liabilities, available-forsale securities, loans held for sale, assets and liabilities accounted for 

under the fair value option, and foreclosed assets—involves the use 

of fair values. During periods of market stress, the fair values of some 

financial instruments and nonfinancial assets may decline.

FHLB advances – all borrowings by FDIC-insured institutions from 

the Federal Home Loan Bank System (FHLB), as reported by Call 

Report filers, and by TFR filers prior to March 31, 2012.

Goodwill and other intangibles – intangible assets include servicing 

rights, purchased credit card relationships, and other identifiable 

intangible assets. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the 

fair market value of the net assets acquired, less subsequent impairment adjustments. Other intangible assets are recorded at fair value, 

less subsequent quarterly amortization and impairment adjustments.

Loans secured by real estate – includes home equity loans, junior 

liens secured by 1-4 family residential properties, and all other loans 

secured by real estate.

Loans to individuals – includes outstanding credit card balances and 

other secured and unsecured consumer loans.

Long-term assets (5+ years) – loans and debt securities with remaining maturities or repricing intervals of over five years.

Maximum credit exposure – the maximum contractual credit 

exposure remaining under recourse arrangements and other sellerprovided credit enhancements provided by the reporting bank to 

securitizations.

Mortgage-backed securities – certificates of participation in pools 

of residential mortgages and collateralized mortgage obligations 

issued or guaranteed by government-sponsored or private enterprises. Also, see “Securities,” below.

Net charge-offs – total loans and leases charged off (removed from 

balance sheet because of uncollectability), less amounts recovered on 

loans and leases previously charged off.

Net interest margin – the difference between interest and dividends 

earned on interest-bearing assets and interest paid to depositors and 

other creditors, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. 

No adjustments are made for interest income that is tax exempt.

Net loans to total assets – loans and lease financing receivables, net 

of unearned income, allowance and reserves, as a percent of total 

assets on a consolidated basis.

Net operating income – income excluding discretionary transactions such as gains (or losses) on the sale of investment securities and 

extraordinary items. Income taxes subtracted from operating income 

have been adjusted to exclude the portion applicable to securities 

gains (or losses).

Noncurrent assets – the sum of loans, leases, debt securities, and 

other assets that are 90 days or more past due, or in nonaccrual status.

Noncurrent loans & leases – the sum of loans and leases 90 days or 

more past due, and loans and leases in nonaccrual status.

Number of institutions reporting – the number of institutions that 

actually filed a financial report.

New reporters – insured institutions filing quarterly financial reports 

for the first time.

Other borrowed funds – federal funds purchased, securities sold with 

agreements to repurchase, demand notes issued to the U.S. Treasury, 

FHLB advances, other borrowed money, mortgage indebtedness, 

obligations under capitalized leases and trading liabilities, less revaluation losses on assets held in trading accounts.

Other real estate owned – primarily foreclosed property. Direct and 

indirect investments in real estate ventures are excluded. The amount 

is reflected net of valuation allowances. For institutions that filed a 

Thrift Financial Report (TFR), the valuation allowance subtracted also 

includes allowances for other repossessed assets. Also, for TFR filers 

the components of other real estate owned are reported gross of valuation allowances. (TFR filers began filing Call Reports effective with 

the quarter ending March 31, 2012.)

Percent of institutions with earnings gains – the percent of institutions that increased their net income (or decreased their losses) compared to the same period a year earlier.

“Problem” institutions – federal regulators assign a composite rating 

to each financial institution, based upon an evaluation of financial 

and operational criteria. The rating is based on a scale of 1 to 5 in 

ascending order of supervisory concern. “Problem” institutions are 

those institutions with financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses that threaten their continued financial viability. Depending 

upon the degree of risk and supervisory concern, they are rated 

either a “4” or “5.” The number and assets of “problem” institutions 
2 0 2 0  •  Volume 1 4 • Number 2

30 FDIC QUARTERLY

are based on FDIC composite ratings. Prior to March 31, 2008, for 

institutions whose primary federal regulator was the OTS, the OTS 

composite rating was used.

Recourse – an arrangement in which a bank retains, in form or in 

substance, any credit risk directly or indirectly associated with an 

asset it has sold (in accordance with generally accepted accounting 

principles) that exceeds a pro rata share of the bank’s claim on the 

asset. If a bank has no claim on an asset it has sold, then the retention 

of any credit risk is recourse.

Reserves for losses – the allowance for loan and lease losses on a 

consolidated basis.

Restructured loans and leases – loan and lease financing receivables with terms restructured from the original contract. Excludes 

restructured loans and leases that are not in compliance with the 

modified terms.

Retained earnings – net income less cash dividends on common and 

preferred stock for the reporting period.

Return on assets – bank net income (including gains or losses on 

securities and extraordinary items) as a percentage of average total 

(consolidated) assets. The basic yardstick of bank profitability.

Return on equity – bank net income (including gains or losses on 

securities and extraordinary items) as a percentage of average total 

equity capital.

Risk-weighted assets – assets adjusted for risk-based capital definitions which include on-balance-sheet as well as off-balance-sheet 

items multiplied by risk-weights that range from zero to 200 percent. 

A conversion factor is used to assign a balance sheet equivalent 

amount for selected off-balance-sheet accounts.

Securities – excludes securities held in trading accounts. Banks’ securities portfolios consist of securities designated as “held-to-maturity” 

(reported at amortized cost (book value)), securities designated as 

“available-for-sale” (reported at fair (market) value), and equity 

securities with readily determinable fair values not held for trading.

Securities gains (losses) – realized gains (losses) on held-tomaturity and available-for-sale securities, before adjustments for 

income taxes. Thrift Financial Report (TFR) filers also include gains 

(losses) on the sales of assets held for sale. (TFR filers began filing 

Call Reports effective with the quarter ending March 31, 2012.)

Seller’s interest in institution’s own securitizations – the reporting 

bank’s ownership interest in loans and other assets that have been 

securitized, except an interest that is a form of recourse or other 

seller-provided credit enhancement. Seller’s interests differ from 

the securities issued to investors by the securitization structure. The 

principal amount of a seller’s interest is generally equal to the total 

principal amount of the pool of assets included in the securitization 

structure less the principal amount of those assets attributable to 

investors, i.e., in the form of securities issued to investors.

Small Business Lending Fund – The Small Business Lending Fund 

(SBLF) was enacted into law in September 2010 as part of the Small 

Business Jobs Act of 2010 to encourage lending to small businesses 

by providing capital to qualified community institutions with assets 

of less than $10 billion. The SBLF Program is administered by the 

U.S. Treasury Department (http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/

sb-programs/Pages/Small-Business-Lending-Fund.aspx).

Under the SBLF Program, the Treasury Department purchased 

noncumulative perpetual preferred stock from qualifying depository 

institutions and holding companies (other than Subchapter S and 

mutual institutions). When this stock has been issued by a depository 

institution, it is reported as “Perpetual preferred stock and related 

surplus.” For regulatory capital purposes, this noncumulative 

perpetual preferred stock qualifies as a component of Tier 1 capital. 

Qualifying Subchapter S corporations and mutual institutions issue 

unsecured subordinated debentures to the Treasury Department 

through the SBLF. Depository institutions that issued these 

debentures report them as “Subordinated notes and debentures.” 

For regulatory capital purposes, the debentures are eligible for 

inclusion in an institution’s Tier 2 capital in accordance with their 

primary federal regulator’s capital standards. To participate in the 

SBLF Program, an institution with outstanding securities issued 

to the Treasury Department under the Capital Purchase Program 

(CPP) was required to refinance or repay in full the CPP securities 

at the time of the SBLF funding. Any outstanding warrants that an 

institution issued to the Treasury Department under the CPP remain 

outstanding after the refinancing of the CPP stock through the SBLF 

Program unless the institution chooses to repurchase them.

Subchapter S corporation – a Subchapter S corporation is treated 

as a pass-through entity, similar to a partnership, for federal income 

tax purposes. It is generally not subject to any federal income taxes at 

the corporate level. This can have the effect of reducing institutions’ 

reported taxes and increasing their after-tax earnings.

Trust assets – market value, or other reasonably available value of 

fiduciary and related assets, to include marketable securities, and 

other financial and physical assets. Common physical assets held in 

fiduciary accounts include real estate, equipment, collectibles, and 

household goods. Such fiduciary assets are not included in the assets 

of the financial institution.

Unearned income and contra accounts – unearned income for Call 

Report filers only.

Unused loan commitments – includes credit card lines, home equity 

lines, commitments to make loans for construction, loans secured 

by commercial real estate, and unused commitments to originate 

or purchase loans. (Excluded are commitments after June 2003 for 

originated mortgage loans held for sale, which are accounted for as 

derivatives on the balance sheet.)

Yield on earning assets – total interest, dividend, and fee income 

earned on loans and investments as a percentage of average 

earning assets.
