QUARTERLY BANKING PROFILE: 

THIRD QUARTER 2022

FDIC-insured institutions reported aggregate net income of $71.7 billion in third 

quarter 2022, an increase of $7.3 billion (11.3 percent) from the second quarter. 

An increase in net interest income drove the increase in net income. Nearly 

three quarters of all banks (73.3 percent) reported an increase in net income from 

the prior quarter. Net income rose $2.2 billion (3.2 percent) from third quarter 

2021, as growth in net interest income exceeded growth in provision expense. 

The banking industry reported an aggregate return on average assets ratio of 

1.21  percent, up 13 basis points from the second quarter but unchanged from the 

same quarter last year. See page 1.

COMMUNITY BANK PERFORMANCE Community banks—which represent 91 percent of insured institutions—

reported net income of $8.5 billion in third quarter 2022, up 1.0 billion 

(13.5 percent) from one quarter ago. Higher net interest income more than offset 

increases in noninterest expense and provisions for credit losses and a decrease 

in noninterest income. The community bank pretax return on average assets 

ratio rose 17 basis points from one quarter ago to 1.51 percent. See page 19.

INSURANCE FUND INDICATORS The Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) balance increased by $1.0 billion to 

$125.5 billion. Assessment revenue of $2.1 billion was the largest source of 

income. Interest earned on investments, negative provisions for insurance 

losses, and other miscellaneous income also added to the fund balance. 

Operating expenses and unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities 

partially offset the increase in fund balance. The DIF reserve ratio was 

1.26 percent on September 30, 2022, unchanged from the previous quarter and 

1  basis point lower than the previous year. See page 31.

INSURED INSTITUTION PERFORMANCE

Net Income Increased Quarter Over Quarter and Year Over Year

Net Interest Margin Widened Substantially

Unrealized Losses on Securities Increased

Loan Growth Was Broad Based

Credit Quality Remained Favorable Despite Slight Growth in Early-Stage Delinquencies

Total Deposits Declined From Second Quarter 2022, but Insured Deposits Increased

NET INCOME INCREASED 

QUARTER OVER QUARTER AND 

YEAR OVER YEAR

Quarterly net income totaled $71.7 billion in third quarter 2022, 

an increase of $7.3 billion (11.3 percent) from the second quarter. 

An increase in net interest income more than offset increases in 

provisions for credit losses and noninterest expense. Nearly three 

quarters of all banks (73.3 percent) reported increases in net income 

from the prior quarter. At the same time, the share of institutions 

reporting quarterly losses fell to 3.5 percent in third quarter 2022, the 

lowest level in the history of the Quarterly Banking Profile (QBP).

Net income rose $2.2 billion (3.2 percent) from third quarter 2021, as 

growth in net interest income exceeded growth in provision expense.

The banking industry reported an aggregate return on average assets 

(ROAA) ratio of 1.21 percent, up 13 basis points from the ROAA ratio 

reported in second quarter 2022 but unchanged from the same quarter 

last year.

NET INTEREST MARGIN 

WIDENED SUBSTANTIALLY

The net interest margin (NIM) increased 35 basis points from the prior 

quarter and 58 basis points from the year-ago quarter to 3.14 percent. 

Growth in net interest income outpaced growth in earning assets, 

resulting in a strong quarterly increase in NIM. This is the first time 

NIM has been above 3 percent since first quarter 2020.

The average yield on earning assets increased 73 basis points from 

second quarter 2022 to 3.78 percent due to strong loan growth and 

rising market interest rates. Average funding costs increased 38 basis 

points from second quarter 2022 to 0.64 percent.

UNREALIZED LOSSES ON 

SECURITIES INCREASED

Unrealized losses on securities totaled $689.9 billion in the third 

quarter, up from $469.7 billion in the second quarter, reflecting 

increased market interest rates. Unrealized losses on held-tomaturity securities totaled $368.5 billion in the third quarter, up from 

$241.8 billion in the second quarter. Unrealized losses on availablefor-sale securities totaled $321.5 billion in the third quarter, up from 

$227.9 billion in the second quarter.

NET OPERATING REVENUE ROSE 

7.6 PERCENT ON STRONG NET 

INTEREST INCOME GROWTH

Net operating revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) 

increased 7.6 percent to $245.4 billion in third quarter 2022 due to 

strong net interest income growth (up $17.5 billion, or 11.6 percent). 

Interest income grew $37.7 billion (22.9 percent) from second quarter 

2022 and offset a $20.2 billion (146.0 percent) increase in interest 

expense. Higher loan interest income, particularly on loans secured by 

real estate, drove the quarterly growth in net interest income. From the 

year-ago quarter, net operating revenue rose $35.0 billion (16.6 percent) 

as net interest income grew $34.2 billion (25.4 percent) and noninterest 

income grew $833.3 million (1.1 percent).

NONINTEREST EXPENSE ROSE 

QUARTER OVER QUARTER AND 

YEAR OVER YEAR

Noninterest expense rose $4.0 billion (3.0 percent) quarter over 

quarter. An increase in “all other noninterest expense”—primarily 

advertising and marketing expenses—as well as an increase in 

compensation costs drove the growth in noninterest expense during 

the quarter. More than two-thirds of banks (68.7 percent) reported an 

increase in noninterest expense from the prior quarter. Year over year, 

noninterest expense rose $10.8 billion (8.4 percent), slightly outpacing 

average asset growth of 2.9 percent. As a result, the ratio of noninterest 

expense to average assets increased 12 basis points from the year-ago 

quarter to 2.35 percent but remained well below the pre-pandemic 

average of 2.61 percent.1

Although the industry reported an aggregate increase in noninterest 

expense, the efficiency ratio (noninterest expense to net operating 

revenue) declined 4.24 percentage points from the year-ago quarter 

to 56.2 percent, led by strong growth in net interest income. The 

efficiency ratio declined for all QBP asset size groups.

THE LARGEST BANKS CONTINUED 

TO DRIVE THE INCREASE IN 

PROVISION EXPENSE

Provision expense increased to $14.6 billion from $11.1 billion last 

quarter and negative $5.2 billion in the year-ago quarter.2 Banks in the 

two largest QBP asset size groups (“Assets Greater than $250 Billion” 

and “Assets Between $10 Billion and $250 Billion”) continued to drive 

the increase in provision expense.

1 “Pre-pandemic average” refers to the period including first quarter 2015 through fourth quarter 2019 and is used consistently throughout this document.

2 Provisions for credit losses include both losses for loans and securities for CECL adopters but only loan losses for non-adopters.
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

4 

The net number of banks reporting adoption of current expected 

credit loss (CECL) accounting increased by 17 from second quarter 

2022 to 349.3

 CECL adopters reported aggregate provisions of 

$12.8 billion in third quarter, $2.8 billion more than second quarter 

2022 and $18.1 billion more than one year ago. Provision expense for 

banks that have not adopted CECL accounting totaled $1.8 billion, up 

$784.2 million from a quarter ago and $1.7 billion from one year ago.

All QBP asset size groups reported higher reserve coverage ratios 

(allowance for credit losses to noncurrent loans) than the year-ago 

quarter, as noncurrent loan balances declined and allowance levels 

increased. The aggregate coverage ratio increased 34.6 percentage 

points from the year-ago quarter to 214.8 percent, the highest level on 

QBP record.4

Although the coverage ratio increased, the ratio of the allowance 

for credit losses (ACL) to total loans declined 15 basis points to 

1.55 percent from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to strong loan 

growth. However, the ACL to total loans ratio remains higher than the 

pre-pandemic average of 1.29 percent.

BANKING INDUSTRY ASSETS 

DECLINED FROM THE PREVIOUS 

QUARTER

Total assets declined $86.8 billion (0.4 percent) from second quarter 

2022 to $23.6 trillion. While total loan and lease balances increased 

$229.7 billion (2.0 percent) from second quarter 2022, securities 

declined $224.7 billion (3.7 percent) and cash and balances due 

from depository institutions declined $131.5 billion. The proportion 

of securities to total assets declined slightly to 25.1 percent from 

25.9 percent one quarter ago and from 25.6 percent one year ago.

3 Changes to the number of CECL accounting adopters may result from closures, mergers and acquisitions, or examination or audit findings. 

4 The coverage ratio is the ratio of the allowance for credit losses to the total of loans that are 90 days or more past due plus the total of loans in nonaccrual status.

5 

Annually, total assets increased $379.8 billion (1.6 percent) as 

institutions deployed excess cash into loans and leases. Total loan 

and lease balances increased $1.1 trillion (9.9 percent) while cash and 

balances due from depository institutions declined $957.8 billion 

(26.3 percent). Securities declined $29.3 billion (0.5 percent) from one 

year ago. In the rising interest rate environment, institutions moved 

available-for-sale securities (down $750.2 billion, or 19.1 percent) into 

held-to-maturity balances (up $720.3 billion, or 35.9 percent) year 

over year.

LOAN BALANCES INCREASED FROM 

THE PREVIOUS QUARTER AND A 

YEAR AGO

Total loan and lease balances increased $229.7 billion (2.0 percent) 

from one quarter ago. The banking industry reported growth in several 

loan portfolios, including 1–4 family residential loans (up $68.1 billion, 

or 2.9 percent) and consumer loans (up $39.4 billion, or 2.0 percent).

Annually, total loan and lease balances increased $1.1 trillion 

(9.9 percent), driven by growth in commercial and industrial (C&I) 

loans (up $259.8 billion, or 11.6 percent), 1–4 family residential 

mortgages (up $213.9 billion, or 9.6 percent), and consumer loans (up 

$204.1 billion, or 11.4 percent). Credit card loans grew the most among 

consumer loan categories (up $129.5 billion, or 16.1 percent). Excluding 

the effect of declines in Paycheck Protection Program loans, annual 

total loan growth would have been 11.6 percent and annual C&I loan 

growth would have been 20.6 percent. The annual loan growth was the 

largest dollar increase in the history of the QBP.

TOTAL DEPOSITS DECLINED 

MODERATELY FOR THE SECOND 

QUARTER IN A ROW, BUT INSURED 

DEPOSITS INCREASED

Despite a slight increase in insured deposits in the third quarter, total 

deposits declined $206.0 billion (1.1 percent) between second quarter 

2022 and third quarter 2022. This was the second consecutive quarter 

that the industry reported lower levels of total deposits. A reduction 

in uninsured deposits was the primary driver of the quarterly decline. 

A decline in deposit accounts with balances greater than $250,000 

(down $217.5 billion, or 2.1 percent) led the quarterly reduction. As of 

third quarter 2022, deposits represented 81.9 percent of total assets, 

well above the pre-pandemic average of 76.7 percent. The decline in 

deposits in third quarter 2022 was accompanied by an increase in 

wholesale funding for the industry, up $212.6 billion (6.9 percent) from 

the prior quarter.5 Despite the decline in aggregate deposits, nearly half 

of all banks (49.8 percent) reported higher deposit balances compared 

with a quarter ago.

5 Wholesale funding includes federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase; Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings; brokered, municipal and state, 

and foreign deposits; and other borrowings and listing services.
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

EARLY-STAGE DELINQUENCIES 

CONTINUED TO RISE MODESTLY

The rate of loans and leases 30 to 89 days past due (past-due loan 

balances) increased 3 basis points from the last quarter and 7 basis 

points from the year-ago quarter to 0.51 percent. Both the quarterly and 

annual increases were driven by an increase in past-due credit card, 

C&I, and auto loans. Despite the recent increase, the overall past-due 

rate remains below the pre-pandemic average of 0.66 percent.

THE NONCURRENT LOAN RATE 

CONTINUED TO DECLINE

Loans and leases 90 days or more past due or in nonaccrual status 

(noncurrent loan balances) continued to decline, and the noncurrent 

rate was down 3 basis points to 0.72 percent from second quarter 

2022. The noncurrent rate for total loans is the lowest level since 

second quarter 2006. Noncurrent 1–4 family residential real estate 

loan balances declined most among noncurrent loan categories, 

down 6.2 percent, which supported a 13 basis point reduction in the 

noncurrent rate to 1.39 percent. Almost half of all banks (49.3 percent) 

reported lower noncurrent loan balances compared with second 

quarter 2022.

INCREASE IN NET LOSSES ON 

CREDIT CARD AND AUTO LOANS 

DROVE AN INCREASE IN THE NET 

CHARGE-OFF RATE

The annual increase in auto loan net charge-offs (up 42 basis points 

to 0.55 percent) and credit card net charge-offs (up 32 basis points to 

2.02 percent) drove the increase in total net charge-offs of loans and 

leases from the year-ago quarter. These increases supported a 6 basis 

point rise in the net charge-off rate to 0.26 percent. Despite this 

increase, the industry’s net charge-off rate remains near historic lows.

RISK-BASED CAPITAL RATIOS 

REMAIN STRONG DESPITE SLIGHT 

DECLINES IN SOME MEASURES

The leverage capital ratio increased 12 basis points from a quarter 

ago to 8.86 percent. Risk-based capital ratios remained above 

pre-pandemic averages despite a reduction in third quarter 2022. The 

total risk-based capital ratio fell 1 basis point to 14.84 percent and 

the tier 1 risk-based capital ratio fell 1 basis point to 13.58 percent due 

to risk-weighted asset growth outpacing capital formation. Equity 

capital declined $55.2 billion (2.5 percent) in third quarter 2022 as 

the continued rise in market interest rates further eroded the value 

of available-for-sale investment securities, resulting in a continued 

reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income (down 

$94.4 billion, or 37.3 percent) from second quarter 2022.
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

7 

Retained earnings decreased $1.2 billion (3.3 percent) from a quarter 

ago. Banks distributed 52.3 percent of third quarter earnings as 

dividends, up from 45.1 percent reported in second quarter 2022. The 

number of institutions with capital ratios that did not meet Prompt 

Corrective Action requirements for the well-capitalized category 

increased by four from second quarter 2022 to eleven.6

THREE BANKS OPENED AND 

NO BANKS FAILED IN 

THIRD QUARTER 2022

The number of FDIC-insured institutions declined to 4,746 from 4,771 

in the previous quarter. In third quarter, three banks opened and 

26 institutions merged with other FDIC-insured institutions. Two 

institutions ceased operations. The number of banks on the FDIC’s 

“Problem Bank List” increased by two from second quarter to 42. Total 

assets of problem banks declined $5.7 billion to $163.8 billion.7 No 

banks failed in the third quarter.

QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

COMMUNITY BANK PERFORMANCE

Community banks are identified based on criteria defined in the FDIC’s 2020 Community Banking Study. When 

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

banks designated as such in the current quarter, adjusted for mergers. In contrast, prior-quarter ratios are based on 

community banks designated during the previous quarter.

Net Income Increased Quarter Over Quarter and Year Over Year 

Net Interest Margin Widened Substantially

Unrealized Losses on Securities Increased

Loan Growth Was Broad Based 

Credit Quality Remained Favorable Despite Slight Growth in Early-Stage Delinquencies

Total Deposits Increased From Second Quarter 2022

NET INCOME INCREASED 

QUARTER OVER QUARTER AND 

YEAR OVER YEAR

Quarterly net income for the 4,308 community banks rose $1.0 billion 

(13.5 percent) from one quarter ago to $8.5 billion in third quarter 

2022. Higher net interest income (up $2.0 billion, 9.4 percent) more 

than offset increases in noninterest expense and provisions for 

credit losses, and a decrease in noninterest income. Nearly three 

quarters (73.7 percent) of community banks reported higher net 

income compared with second quarter 2022. The share of unprofitable 

community banks fell to 3.6 percent, near the record low in the history 

of the Quarterly Banking Profile (QBP). The pretax return on average 

assets ratio rose 17 basis points from one quarter ago to 1.51 percent.

Net income rose $317.5 million (3.9 percent) from third quarter 2021, as 

higher net interest income more than offset lower noninterest income 

and higher noninterest expense.

Chart 2

Net Interest Margin
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

20 

NET INTEREST MARGIN WIDENED 

SUBSTANTIALLY

The average community bank quarterly net interest margin (NIM) 

increased 30 basis points from the prior quarter and 32 basis points 

from the year-ago quarter to 3.63 percent. Growth in net interest 

income outpaced growth in earning assets, resulting in a strong 

quarterly increase in NIM.

The average yield on earning assets rose 48 basis points from second 

quarter 2022 to 4.09 percent due to strong loan growth and rising 

market interest rates. Average funding costs increased 18 basis points 

from second quarter 2022 to 0.46 percent.

UNREALIZED LOSSES ON 

SECURITIES INCREASED

Unrealized losses on securities totaled $76.1 billion in the third quarter, 

up from $55.3 billion in the second quarter, reflecting increased market 

interest rates. Unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities totaled 

$12.4 billion in the third quarter, up from $8.1 billion in the second 

quarter. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities totaled 

$63.6 billion in the third quarter, up from $47.2 billion in the second 

quarter.

NET OPERATING REVENUE ROSE 

6.4 PERCENT ON STRONG NET 

INTEREST INCOME GROWTH

Community bank net operating revenue (net interest income plus 

noninterest income) increased $1.7 billion (6.4 percent) from second 

quarter 2022. More than 90 percent of community banks reported 

higher net interest income from one quarter ago, driving an aggregate 

increase of 9.4 percent ($2.0 billion) from the previous quarter. Higher 

interest income, particularly on loans secured by farmland and nonfarm 

nonresidential commercial real estate (CRE), drove the quarterly growth 

in net interest income. Lower net gains on loan sales and credit card 

interchange fees contributed to a 5.5 percent ($298.1 million) decline in 

noninterest income from second quarter 2022.

Noncurrent Loan Rates for FDIC-Insured Community Banks
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

21 

1 Provisions for credit losses include both losses for loans and securities for CECL adopters but only loan losses for non-adopters. 

2 The CECL analysis compares the quarterly provisions of the 121 community banks that identified as CECL adopters in both third quarter 2022 and third quarter 2021 and the 

122 community banks that identified as CECL adopters in both third quarter 2022 and second quarter 2022. One CECL adopter was a de novo bank in third quarter 2022.

3 The coverage ratio is the ratio of the allowance for credit losses to the total of loans that are 90 days or more past due plus the total of loans in nonaccrual status.

4 “Pre-pandemic average” refers to the period including first quarter 2015 through fourth quarter 2019 and is used consistently throughout this document.

From the year-ago quarter, a $1.1 billion decline in noninterest income 

only partially offset a $3.1 billion increase in net interest income, 

resulting in a $2.0 billion (7.5 percent) increase in net operating 

revenue. Lower net gains on loan sales drove the annual decline 

in noninterest income, while higher interest income on nonfarm 

nonresidential CRE and farmland loans and securities drove the yearover-year growth in net interest income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE ROSE 

QUARTER OVER QUARTER AND 

YEAR OVER YEAR

Noninterest expense rose $458.1 million (2.8 percent) from second 

quarter and $842.9 million (5.3 percent) from third quarter 2021 

to $16.9 billion. Higher compensation expense drove the quarterly 

increase in noninterest expense, and higher data processing expenses 

drove the annual increase. Noninterest expense as a share of average 

assets rose 6 basis points to 2.49 percent from one quarter ago, as 

growth in noninterest expense outpaced growth in average assets. 

Nevertheless, the community bank efficiency ratio (noninterest 

expense as a share of net operating revenue) fell 203 basis points from 

one quarter ago as growth in net operating revenue was larger than 

growth in noninterest expense.

PROVISION EXPENSE INCREASED Quarterly provision expense of $777.5 million was $197.9 million 

(34.2 percent) higher than one quarter ago and $490.4 million higher 

than one year ago.1

 As of third quarter 2022, 123 community banks had 

adopted current expected credit loss (CECL) accounting. Community 

bank CECL adopters reported provision expense of $170.3 million in the 

third quarter, an increase of $32.3 million from the previous quarter 

and an increase of $226.5 million from the previous year.2 Provision 

expense for community banks that had not adopted CECL accounting 

totaled $607.2 million, an increase of $165.7 million from one quarter 

ago and $263.9 million from one year ago.

The reserve coverage ratio (allowance for credit losses to loans and 

leases 90 days or more past due or in nonaccrual status) increased 

18.1 percentage points from the previous quarter and 59.6 percentage 

points from the year-ago quarter to 263.4 percent, the highest level on 

QBP record, as noncurrent loan balances declined and the allowance for 

credit losses (ACL) increased.3

 The coverage ratio for community banks is 

53.9 percentage points above the coverage ratio for noncommunity banks. 

Strong loan growth resulted in a 2 basis point decline in the ratio of the 

ACL to total loans and leases, but the third quarter 2022 ratio of 1.23 percent 

is still slightly above the pre-pandemic average of 1.21 percent.4
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

22 

COMMUNITY BANK ASSETS ROSE 

ON STRONG GROWTH IN LOAN 

BALANCES

Total assets increased $31.6 billion (1.2 percent) from second quarter 

2022 and $139.1 billion (5.4 percent) from the previous year. Total 

loans and leases, which increased $71.2 billion (4.1 percent) from 

one quarter ago and $196.2 billion (12.2 percent) from one year ago, 

drove quarterly and annual asset growth. The balance of securities 

fell $9.2 billion (1.5 percent) from second quarter 2022, weighing on 

quarterly asset growth, but remained $66.7 billion higher than one year 

ago, supporting annual asset growth. Declines in cash and balances 

due from depository institutions of $34.7 billion (16.1 percent) from the 

previous quarter and $138.7 billion (43.3 percent) from the previous year 

offset a portion of total loan and lease growth.

LOAN BALANCES INCREASED FROM 

THE PREVIOUS QUARTER AND A 

YEAR AGO

Total loan and lease balances in all portfolios rose from one quarter 

ago, and 83.3 percent of community banks reported quarterly loan 

growth. Growth in nonfarm nonresidential CRE loan balances of 

$20.5 billion (up 3.7 percent) and 1–4 family residential real estate loan 

balances of $19.3 billion (up 4.8 percent) were the largest contributors 

to the quarterly increase in loan balances.

Loan balances in all portfolios except commercial and industrial (C&I) 

loans grew from one year ago, and 81.9 percent of community banks 

reported annual loan growth. Growth in nonfarm nonresidential 

CRE loan balances of $71.1 billion (up 14.3 percent) and 1–4 family 

residential real estate loan balances of $49.4 billion (up 13.3 percent) 

drove the annual increase. C&I loan balances declined $6.4 billion 

(2.6 percent) from third quarter 2021 primarily due to Paycheck 

Protection Program (PPP) loan repayment and forgiveness. PPP loan 

balances declined $48.4 billion (94.1 percent) from third quarter 2021 to 

$3.0 billion. Excluding the effect of declines in PPP loans, annual total 

loan growth would have been 15.7 percent and annual C&I loan growth 

would have been 21.6 percent.
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

23 

DEPOSITS CONTINUED TO 

INCREASE MODERATELY

Community banks reported deposit growth of 0.8 percent ($18.2 billion) 

during third quarter 2022, slightly higher than the growth of 

0.4 percent reported in second quarter 2022. Slightly more than half 

of all community banks (50.2 percent) reported an increase in deposit 

balances from the prior quarter. Growth in deposit accounts with less 

than $250,000 (up $14.8 billion) drove total deposit growth. Unlike 

second quarter, growth in domestic deposit balances was primarily 

in interest-bearing deposits in third quarter (up $14.0 billion, or 

0.8 percent), while noninterest-bearing deposits rose $4.5 billion 

(0.7 percent). Deposit balances rose 6.3 percent ($140.0 billion) from one 

year ago.

Other borrowed money rose $17.4 billion (25.7 percent) from one 

quarter ago because of an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank 

advances of $17.6 billion (27.9 percent). The share of wholesale funds to 

total assets was 17.4 percent in third quarter.

EARLY-STAGE DELINQUENCIES 

CONTINUED TO RISE MODESTLY

Loans and leases 30 to 89 days past due (past-due loan balances) grew 

1 basis point from one quarter ago and one year ago to 0.32 percent, a 

level that remains below the pre-pandemic average of 0.55 percent. 

The C&I past-due rate rose 16 basis points from the prior quarter and 

19 basis points from the year-ago quarter to 0.55 percent, slightly above 

the pre-pandemic average of 0.50 percent.

THE NONCURRENT LOAN RATE 

REACHED A NEW RECORD LOW

Loans and leases 90 days or more past due or in nonaccrual status 

(noncurrent loan balances) continued to decline, and the noncurrent 

rate decreased 4 basis points from second quarter 2022 to 0.47 percent. 

This is the lowest noncurrent rate on record for community banks 

since data collection began in first quarter 1984. Slightly more than 

half of community banks (55.3 percent) reported quarter-over-quarter 

reductions in the balance of noncurrent loans. Small increases in C&I 

and consumer noncurrent loan balances from the prior quarter were 

less than declines in farm, construction and development, 1–4 family 

residential real estate, and nonfarm nonresidential CRE noncurrent 

balances.
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

24 

THE NET CHARGE-OFF RATE 

REMAINED LOW

Community banks’ net charge-off rate was unchanged from third 

quarter 2021 at 0.06 percent. Net charge-off rates declined for larger 

portfolios such as nonfarm nonresidential CRE (31.4 percent of total 

loan balances), which dropped 4 basis points to 0.01 percent. At the 

same time, the net charge-off rate for consumer loans (which account 

for 4.4 percent of total loan balances) rose 35 basis points from one 

year ago to 0.84 percent.

MOST CAPITAL RATIOS REMAINED 

STRONG

The tier 1 risk-based capital ratio for community banks that did not 

file the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) was 13.73 percent, 

down 26 basis points from the prior quarter, as growth in higher riskweighted assets outpaced tier 1 capital formation. The average CBLR 

for the 1,591 community banks that elected to use the CBLR framework 

was 11.81 percent, up 26 basis points from second quarter 2022. The 

leverage capital ratio for community banks increased 13 basis points to 

10.43 percent in third quarter 2022. Equity capital declined $6.7 billion 

(2.6 percent) in third quarter 2022, as the continued rise in market 

interest rates further eroded the value of available-for-sale investment 

securities, resulting in a continued reduction in accumulated other 

comprehensive income from second quarter 2022. However, no 

community banks are advanced approach institutions and, therefore, 

these losses did not directly affect their regulatory capital ratios.

THREE COMMUNITY BANKS OPENED 

AND NO COMMUNITY BANKS FAILED 

IN THIRD QUARTER 2022

The number of community banks declined to 4,308, down 25 from 

the previous quarter. Fifteen banks transitioned from community to 

noncommunity banks, eleven banks transitioned from noncommunity 

to community banks, two community banks ceased operations, 

22 community banks merged during the quarter, and three new 

community banks started reporting.

QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

INSURANCE FUND INDICATORS

Deposit Insurance Fund Increases by $1.0 Billion

Insured Deposits Rise by 0.1 Percent

DIF Reserve Ratio Unchanged at 1.26 Percent

During the third quarter, the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) balance 

increased by $1.0 billion to $125.5 billion. Assessment revenue of 

$2.1 billion was the largest source of income. Interest earned on 

investments of $332 million, negative provisions for insurance 

losses of $49 million, and other miscellaneous income of $6 million 

also added to the fund balance. Operating expenses of $456 million 

and unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities of $1.1 billion 

partially offset the increase in the fund balance. No insured 

institutions failed in the third quarter.

The deposit insurance assessment base—average consolidated total 

assets minus average tangible equity—fell by 0.04 percent in the third 

quarter, though it rose by 4.5 percent over the last 12 months.1,2

Total estimated insured deposits increased by 0.1 percent in the third 

quarter of 2022 and increased by 3.5 percent year over year. The DIF’s 

reserve ratio (the fund balance as a percent of insured deposits) was 

1.26 percent on September 30, 2022, unchanged from the previous 

quarter and 1 basis point lower than the previous year.

The FDIC adopted a restoration plan on September 15, 2020, to restore 

the reserve ratio to 1.35 percent, the statutory minimum, by September 

2028 as required by law. As of September 30, 2022, the FDIC projected 

that the reserve ratio was still at risk of not reaching 1.35 percent by 

the statutory deadline. Therefore in October, the FDIC board finalized 

a rule to increase initial base deposit insurance assessment rate 

schedules by 2 basis points, beginning in the first quarterly assessment 

period of 2023.

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

2 Figures for estimated insured deposits and the assessment base include insured branches of foreign banks, in addition to insured commercial banks and savings institutions.
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

32 

This action was taken to improve the likelihood that the reserve ratio 

reaches the statutory minimum of 1.35 percent before the statutory 

deadline while reducing the potential for a pro-cyclical increase in 

assessment rates should the banking industry enter a period of stress. 

The FDIC continues to incorporate recent data into its projections of 

the reserve ratio. The intent of the change in assessment rates is also to 

further support growth toward the FDIC’s long-term goal of a 2 percent 

reserve ratio, an important complementary objective.

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 com parability 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: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/

community-banking/cbi-study.html.

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 aggre gate all charter-level 

data reported under each holding company into a single banking organization. 

This aggrega tion 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 depos its 

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 indi vidual 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 
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

36 

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

— Assets held in foreign branches ≥ 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 institutions that are not insured 

1 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.

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 double-counting. 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-ofperiod 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 yearto-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 periodto-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. 
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

39 

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:

Highly Complex 

Institutions**

Unsecured Debt Adjustment -5 to 0 -5 to 0 -5 to 0 -5 to 0

Brokered Deposit Adjustment N/A N/A N/A 0 to 10

Total Base Assessment Rate 1.5 to 16 3 to 30 11 to 30 1.5 to 40

* 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 seller-provided 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 non cumulative 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 
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

40 

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.
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

41 

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 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-for-sale 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 
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

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 seller-provided 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 enter prises. 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 d ue, 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
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

43 

(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 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

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-forsale” (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-to-maturity 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.)
QUARTERLY 2022 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 4

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 (https://home.treasury.gov/

policy-issues/small-business-programs/small-business-lending-fund).

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 passthrough 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.
