Quarterly Banking Profile Fourth Quarter 2009

Fourth Quarter Earnings Are Slightly Above 

Break-Even

The benefits of a recovering economy and stable financial markets in year-over-year comparisons were evident 

in the performance of insured depository institutions in 

the fourth quarter. The small profit reported by the 

industry in the quarter essentially represented breakeven performance, but it contrasted sharply with the 

record quarterly loss posted in the fourth quarter of 

2008. Fourth quarter bank net income for the industry 

was $914 million, compared with a $37.8 billion net 

loss a year earlier. While much of the year-over-year 

earnings improvement was concentrated among the 

largest banks, there was also evidence of a broader 

improving trend. For the first time in three years, more 

than half of insured institutions reported year-over-year 

improvement in net income. The percentage of institutions reporting a net loss for the quarter was lower 

than a year ago. The average return on assets (ROA) 

for all four of the asset size groups featured in the Quarterly Banking Profile was better than a year ago, although 

only the largest size group—institutions with more 

than $10 billion in assets—had a positive average ROA 

for the quarter.

Revenues Rebound from Fourth Quarter 2008

A number of factors contributed to the year-over-year 

improvement in quarterly earnings. Noninterest income 

was $21.7 billion (53.2 percent) higher than in the 

fourth quarter of 2008, as several categories of noninterest income that were negative a year ago swung back 

into positive territory. Trading revenues totaled $2.8 

billion in the quarter, compared with $9.2 billion in 

trading losses a year earlier. Servicing income also 

rebounded strongly, from a $390 million loss a year ago 

to a gain of $8.0 billion. Loan sales produced $1.3 

billion in gains, versus $1.3 billion in losses in the 

fourth quarter of 2008. Another significant contribution 

to the improvement in earnings came from a $16.2 

billion (14.2 percent) decline in noninterest expense. 

This decline was the result of an $18.1 billion (77.2 

percent) reduction in charges for goodwill impairment 

and other intangible asset expenses. Quarterly loan-loss 

provisions posted a year-over-year decline for the first

time since the third quarter of 2006, falling by $10.0 

billion (14.1 percent). Provisions remained above $60 

billion for the fifth consecutive quarter, but the $61.1 

billion that institutions set aside in the quarter was the 

smallest quarterly total since the third quarter of 2008. 

Realized gains on securities and other assets totaled 

$158 million, an $8.7 billion improvement over the 

$8.6 billion in realized losses reported by the industry a 

year ago. Net interest income was higher than a year 

ago but only by $1.7 billion (1.8 percent).

Margins Register Improvement

The average net interest margin (NIM) in the fourth 

quarter was 3.49 percent, slightly lower than the 3.51 

percent reported in the third quarter but higher than 

the 3.33 percent average in the fourth quarter of 2008. 

The quarter-over-quarter decline was concentrated 

among larger institutions. More than half of all institutions (55.5 percent) reported higher NIMs compared to 

third quarter levels. Also, quarterly NIMs at a majority 

of institutions (53.0 percent) increased from a year ago, 

with larger institutions reporting the biggest gains. 

Margin improvements helped offset declines in interestbearing assets. Earning assets declined by $138.8 billion 

(1.2 percent) during the fourth quarter and fell by 

$477.2 billion (4.1 percent) for the full year.

Full-Year Earnings Remain Well below Historical Norms

Full-year 2009 net income was $12.5 billion, up from 

$4.5 billion in 2008, but well below the $100 billion in 

net income the industry reported for 2007. Increased 

noninterest income, higher net interest income, and 

lower realized losses on securities and other assets 

outstripped increased noninterest expenses and higher 

loan loss provisions to produce the increase in earnings. 

Noninterest income was $52.8 billion (25.4 percent) 

higher than in 2008, with trading revenue registering a 

$26.6 billion improvement. Net interest income was 

$38.1 billion (10.6 percent) higher, as the full-year industry NIM rose for the first time in seven years. The average NIM in 2009 was 3.47 percent, the highest annual 

average since 2005. Realized losses on securities and 

other assets fell from $15.4 billion in 2008 to $1.4 billion 

in 2009. These positive contributions to the rise in fullyear earnings were partially offset by a $71.5 billion (40.6 

percent) increase in loan loss provisions and a $16.3 

billion (4.4 percent) increase in noninterest expense. 

More than one in four institutions (29.5 percent) 

reported negative net income for the year, up from 24.8 

percent in 2008. This is the highest proportion of unprofitable institutions in any year since at least 1984. The 

average ROA in 2009 was 0.09 percent, up from 0.03 

percent in 2008. As was the case in 2008, full-year industry earnings for 2009 (which consist of calendar-year net 

income of 8,012 insured institutions filing December 31 

financial reports) would have been significantly lower if 

losses experienced by institutions that failed during the 

year were reflected in year-end reporting.1

1

 During 2009, 119 institutions filed year-to-date financial reports for 

one or more quarters of the year before their failure. Together, these 

institutions reported more than $8.2 billion in net losses through the 

first three quarters of 2009 that are not included in full-year earnings 

for the industry. These losses are reflected in the published quarterly 

industry earnings totals for the first three quarters of 2009. In addition, under purchase accounting rules, income and expenses that have 

been booked by acquired institutions are reset to zero as of the date 

when a change in ownership occurs; previously accrued income and 

expenses are reflected as adjustments to the assets, equity capital, and 

reserves of acquired institutions and are not included in the subsequent reporting of year-to-date income and expense.

this increase—$19.1 billion—consisted of rebooked 

GNMA mortgages that have government guarantees. 

The amount of real estate loans secured by nonfarm 

nonresidential real estate properties that were noncurrent rose by $4.5 billion (12.2 percent). In contrast, 

noncurrent C&I loans declined by $3.5 billion (7.7 

percent), and noncurrent real estate construction and 

development (C&D) loans fell by $2.0 billion (2.7 

percent). This was the first time in three years that 

noncurrent C&I loans have declined and the first time 

in four years that noncurrent C&D loans have fallen.

Reserves Exceed 3 Percent of Total Loans

Reserves for loan and lease losses increased by only $7.0 

billion (3.2 percent) in the fourth quarter, as institutions added $8.1 billion more in loss provisions to their 

reserves than they took out in net charge-offs. The 

average coverage ratio of reserves to noncurrent loans 

and leases fell from 60.1 percent to 58.1 percent, ending 

the year at the lowest level since midyear 1991. In 

contrast, the industry’s ratio of reserves to total loans 

and leases rose from 2.97 percent to 3.12 percent during 

the quarter, and is now at its highest level since the 

creation of the FDIC.

Capital Ratios Improve

The industry’s capital also registered relatively slow 

growth in the quarter. Bank equity increased by only 

$4.1 billion (0.3 percent), the smallest increase in the 

last four quarters. Leverage capital (as defined for 

Prompt Corrective Action purposes) increased by $11.9 

billion (1.1 percent). Despite the slow growth in capital, the industry’s regulatory capital ratios all improved, 

as industry assets fell.

Loan Losses Rise for 12th Consecutive Quarter

Asset quality indicators worsened in the fourth quarter. 

Net charge-offs (NCOs) totaled $53.0 billion, an 

increase of $14.4 billion (37.2 percent) over the same 

period in 2008. The annualized net charge-off rate rose 

to 2.89 percent, up from 1.95 percent a year earlier and 

2.72 percent in the third quarter of 2009. This is the 

highest quarterly NCO rate reported by the industry in 

the 26 years for which quarterly NCO data are available. NCOs in all major loan categories increased from 

a year ago. The largest increases occurred in residential 

mortgage loans, where NCOs rose by $3.3 billion (47.7 

percent); credit cards (up by $2.7 billion, or 41.4 

percent); loans to commercial and industrial (C&I) 

borrowers (up $2.3 billion, or 37.0 percent); home 

equity loans (up $1.9 billion, or 58.6 percent); and real 

estate loans secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties (up $1.9 billion, or 130.9 percent). This is the 12th 

consecutive quarter that NCOs have posted a yearover-year increase.

Growth in Noncurrent Loans Slows

Noncurrent loans and leases continued to rise through 

the end of the year, with a few notable exceptions. The 

total amount of loans and leases that were noncurrent 

(90 days or more past due or in nonaccrual status) 

increased by $24.3 billion (6.6 percent) in the fourth 

quarter, to $391.3 billion, or 5.37 percent of all loans 

and leases at year-end. This is the highest level for the 

industry’s noncurrent rate in the 26 years that all 

insured institutions have reported noncurrent loan data. 

The increase in noncurrent loans in the quarter was 

largely driven by noncurrent residential mortgage loans, 

which rose by $23.2 billion (14.9 percent). Much of

liabilities fell by $268.1 billion (10.0 percent) during 

the quarter, led by a $184.1 billion (23.3 percent) 

decline in federal funds purchased and securities sold 

under repurchase agreements. Federal Home Loan Bank 

advances fell by $42.6 billion (7.4 percent). During the 

quarter, the percentage of industry assets funded by 

deposits rose from 68.7 percent to 70.4 percent, the 

highest level since March 31, 1996.

Industry Consolidation Continues

The number of insured commercial banks and savings 

institutions reporting financial results declined by 87 

during the fourth quarter. Only three new charters were 

added during the quarter, while 43 institutions were 

absorbed by mergers and 45 institutions failed. For the 

full year, the number of reporting institutions fell from 

8,305 to 8,012. Only 31 new charters were added in 

2009, the smallest annual total since 1942. Mergers 

absorbed 179 institutions during the year, and 140 

insured institutions failed. This is the largest number of 

bank failures in a year since 1992. The number of institutions on the FDIC’s “Problem List” rose to 702 at the 

end of 2009, from 552 at the end of the third quarter 

and 252 at the end of 2008. Total assets of “problem” 

institutions were $402.8 billion at yearend 2009, 

compared with $345.9 billion at the end of September 

and $159.0 billion at the end of 2008. Both the number 

and assets of “problem” institutions are at the highest 

level since June 30, 1993.

Banks Report Further Declines in Loan Balances

Total assets of insured institutions fell for a fourth 

consecutive quarter, declining by $137.2 billion (1.0 

percent). During the year, total industry assets declined 

by a net $731.7 billion (5.3 percent), the largest 

percentage decline in a year since the inception of the 

FDIC. Total loan and lease balances declined for the 

sixth quarter in a row, falling by $128.8 billion (1.7 

percent). The fourth-quarter decline was led by C&I 

loan balances, which fell by $54.5 billion (4.3 percent); 

real estate C&D loans (down $41.5 billion, or 8.4 

percent); loans to depository institutions (down $21.2 

billion, or 15.9 percent); and residential mortgage loans 

(down $11.2 billion, or 0.6 percent). Credit card 

balances increased $29.1 billion during the quarter (7.4 

percent), but balances in all other major loan categories 

declined. Insured institutions continued to add to their 

securities holdings. Slightly more than half of all 

insured institutions (52 percent) reported declining 

loan balances in the fourth quarter. Total securities 

increased by $103.7 billion (4.3 percent) during the 

quarter, with mortgage-backed securities rising by $44.8 

billion (3.3 percent), and U.S. Treasury securities 

increasing by $15.9 billion (18.3 percent). During 2009, 

insured institution securities holdings increased by 

$465.1 billion (22.9 percent).

Deposit Growth Remains Strong

Institutions continued to increase their reliance on 

deposit funding in the fourth quarter. Even as assets 

were declining, total deposits increased by $125.7 

billion (1.4 percent), as domestic noninterest-bearing 

deposits rose by 89.8 billion (6.1 percent). Nondeposit

Quarterly Banking Profile

Total assets of the nation’s 8,012 FDIC-insured 

commercial banks and savings institutions decreased by 

$137.2 billion (1.0 percent) during the fourth quarter of 

2009. Total deposits increased by $125.7 billion (1.4 

percent), domestic deposits increased by $143.6 billion 

(1.9 percent), and foreign office deposits decreased by 

$17.8 billion (1.2 percent). Domestic savings deposits 

and interest-bearing checking accounts increased by 

$194.1 billion (5.4 percent). Domestic noninterestbearing deposits increased by $89.8 billion (6.1 

percent), and domestic time deposits decreased by 

$140.4 billion (5.6 percent). Over the past 12 months, 

the share of assets funded by domestic deposits rose 

from 54.2 percent to 58.7 percent, and the share funded 

by foreign office deposits increased from 11.1 percent to 

11.7 percent. During the same period, Federal Home 

Loan Bank (FHLB) advances as a percentage of total 

assets declined from 5.8 percent to 4.1 percent, the 

smallest percentage on record (2001 to present).

Since the second quarter of 2009, the portion of 

brokered deposits exceeding 10 percent of an institution’s domestic deposits has been included in the 

formula used to price an institution’s deposit insurance.1

Brokered deposits decreased by $16.9 billion (2.7 

percent) during the fourth quarter and decreased by 

$146.8 billion (19.2 percent) during the previous 12 

months. Reciprocal brokered deposits decreased by $2.8 

billion (7.7 percent) to $33.6 billion during the three 

months ending December 31, 2009.

1

 For an institution in Risk Category I, the initial base assessment rate 

is adjusted using the adjusted brokered deposit ratio. This ratio will 

exceed zero if an institution’s brokered deposits are greater than 10 

percent of its domestic deposits and its total assets are more than 40 

percent greater than they were four years previously. Certain reciprocal brokered deposits are excluded from the calculation of the adjusted 

brokered deposit ratio. For an institution in any other risk category, the 

initial base assessment rate is increased if the institution’s ratio of 

brokered deposits to domestic deposits is greater than 10 percent. 

Reciprocal brokered deposits are included in the amount of brokered 

deposits for purposes of computing this ratio.

Beginning September 30, 2009, insured deposit estimates are based on the temporary $250,000 coverage 

limit.2 Estimated insured deposits (including U.S. 

branches of foreign banks) increased by $95.3 billion 

(1.8 percent) during the fourth quarter of 2009. For the 

year, estimated insured deposits increased by 13.5 

percent ($641.3 billion), reflecting new data collected 

on the temporary increase in the standard maximum 

FDIC deposit insurance amount from $100,000 to 

$250,000. For institutions reporting as of September 30, 

2009, and December 31, 2009, insured deposits 

increased during the fourth quarter at 5,435 institutions 

(68 percent), decreased at 2,546 institutions (32 

percent), and remained unchanged at 28 institutions.

The Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) decreased by $12.6 

billion during the fourth quarter to a negative $20.9 

billion (unaudited) primarily because of $17.8 billion in 

additional provisions for bank failures. Also, unrealized 

losses on available-for-sale securities combined with 

operating expenses reduced the fund by $692 million. 

Accrued assessment income added $3.1 billion to the 

fund during the quarter, and interest earned combined 

with termination fees on loss share guarantees and 

surcharges from the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee 

Program added $2.8 billion. For the year, the fund 

balance shrank by $38.1 billion, compared to a $35.1 

billion decrease in 2008.

The DIF’s reserve ratio was negative 0.39 percent on 

December 31, 2009, down from negative 0.16 percent 

on September 30, 2009, and 0.36 percent a year ago. 

2

 On May 20, 2009, the President signed the Helping Families Save 

Their Homes Act of 2009, which extended the temporary deposit 

insurance coverage limit increase to $250,000 for deposits other than 

retirement accounts (from the permanent limit of $100,000) through 

the end of 2013. The legislation also eliminated the provision in the 

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 that prevented the FDIC 

from considering this temporary increase in deposit insurance coverage for purposes of setting deposit insurance assessments. Beginning 

September 30, 2009, insured deposit estimates are based on the 

$250,000 coverage limit.

assets of the DIF have been to protect depositors of 

failed institutions and were exchanged for less liquid 

claims against assets of failed institutions. As of 

September 30, 2009, although total assets had increased 

to almost $63 billion, cash and marketable securities 

had fallen to approximately $23 billion. The pace of 

resolutions continues to put downward pressure on cash 

balances. While most of the less liquid assets in the DIF 

have value that will eventually be converted to cash 

when sold, the FDIC’s immediate need is for more 

liquid assets to fund near-term failures. If the FDIC took 

no action under its existing authority to increase its 

liquidity, staff projected that the FDIC’s liquidity needs 

would exceed liquid assets on hand beginning in the 

first quarter of 2010. To provide the FDIC with the 

funds needed to carry on with the task of resolving 

failed institutions in 2010 and beyond, but without 

accelerating the effect of assessments on the industry’s 

earnings and capital, the FDIC approved a measure to 

require insured institutions to prepay 13 quarters worth 

of deposit insurance premiums. These prepayments—

about $46 billion—were collected on December 30, 

2009. Cash and marketable securities stood at $66 

billion on December 31, 2009.

The December 31, 2009, reserve ratio is the lowest 

reserve ratio for a combined bank and thrift insurance 

fund on record.

Forty-five insured institutions with combined assets of 

$65.0 billion failed during the fourth quarter of 2009, at 

an estimated cost of $10.2 billion. For all of 2009, 140 

FDIC-insured institutions with assets of $169.7 billion 

failed, at an estimated cost to the DIF of $35.6 billion. 

This was the largest number of failures since 1990, 

when 168 institutions with combined assets of $16.9 

billion failed (excluding thrifts resolved by the RTC).

Prepaid Assessments

On September 29, 2009, the FDIC Board adopted an 

Amended Restoration Plan to allow the DIF to return 

to a reserve ratio of 1.15 percent within eight years, as 

mandated by statute. At the same time, the Board 

adopted higher annual risk-based assessment rates effective January 1, 2011. While the Amended Restoration 

Plan and higher assessment rates address the need to 

return the DIF reserve ratio to 1.15 percent, the FDIC 

must also consider its need for cash to pay for projected 

failures. In June 2008, before the number of bank and 

thrift failures began to rise significantly, total assets held 

by the DIF were approximately $56 billion and 

consisted almost entirely of cash and marketable securities (i.e., liquid assets). As the crisis has unfolded, liquid

FDIC Responds to Market Disruptions with TLGP

The FDIC Board approved the Temporary Liquidity 

Guarantee Program (TLGP)1 on October 13, 2008, as 

major disruptions in credit markets blocked access to 

liquidity for financial institutions. The TLGP improved 

access to liquidity through two programs: by fully guaranteeing noninterest-bearing transaction deposit 

accounts above $250,000, regardless of dollar amount, 

and by guaranteeing eligible senior unsecured debt 

issued by eligible institutions.

All insured depository institutions were eligible to 

participate in the Transaction Account Guarantee 

Program (TAGP). Institutions eligible for participation 

in the Debt Guarantee Program (DGP) included insured 

depository institutions, U.S. bank holding companies, 

certain U.S. savings and loan holding companies, and 

other affiliates of insured depository institutions that the 

FDIC designated as eligible entities.

FDIC Extends Transaction Account and 

Debt Guarantee Programs

Although there was significant improvement in financial markets in the first half of 2009, portions of the 

industry were still affected by the recent economic 

turmoil. In order to facilitate the orderly phase-out of 

the TLGP, and to continue access to FDIC guarantees 

where they were needed, the FDIC Board extended 

both components of the program.

On March 17, 2009, the Board of Directors of the FDIC 

voted to extend the deadline for issuance of guaranteed 

debt from June 30, 2009, to October 31, 2009, and 

extended the expiration date of the guarantee to the 

earlier of maturity of the debt or December 31, 2012, 

from June 30, 2012. The FDIC imposed a surcharge on 

debt issued with a maturity of one year or more beginning in the second quarter of 2009.2

1

 The FDIC invoked the systemic risk exception pursuant to section 

141 of the Federal Deposit Improvement Act of 1991, 12 U.S.C 

1823(c)(4) on October 13, 2008. For further information on the TLGP, 

see http://www.fdic.gov/regulations/resources/TLGP/index.html. 2

 See http://www.fdic.gov/news/board/Mar1709rule.pdf. 

A final rule extending the Transaction Account Guarantee component of the TLGP six months, to June 30, 

2010, was adopted on August 26, 2009. Entities participating in the Transaction Account Guarantee program 

had the opportunity to opt out of the extended 

program. Depository institutions that remain in the 

extended program will be subject to increased fees that 

are adjusted to reflect the institution’s risk.3

The Board adopted a final rule on October 20, 2009, 

that allowed the DGP to expire on October 31, 2009.4

The final rule also established a limited, six-month 

guarantee facility upon expiration of the DGP. This 

emergency guarantee facility will be available on a caseby-case basis to entities participating in the DGP, upon 

application to the FDIC and with the approval of the 

Chairman after consultation with the Board.

Program Funded by Industry Fees and Assessments

The TLGP does not rely on taxpayer funding or the 

Deposit Insurance Fund. Both components of the 

program are paid for by direct user fees. Institutions 

participating in the TAGP provided customers full 

coverage on noninterest-bearing transaction accounts 

for an annual fee of 10 basis points through year-end 

2009. Fees for qualifying noninterest-bearing transaction accounts guaranteed between January 1, 2010, and 

June 30, 2010, will be based on the participating entity’s 

risk category assignment under the FDIC’s risk-based 

premium system. Annualized fees will be 15, 20, or 25 

basis points, depending on an institution’s risk category.

Fees for participation in the DGP were based on the 

maturity of debt issued and ranged from 50 to 100 basis 

points (annualized). A surcharge was imposed on debt 

issued with a maturity of one year or greater after April 

1, 2009. For debt that was not issued under the extension, that is, debt issued on or before June 30, 2009, and 

maturing on or before June 30, 2012, surcharges were 

10 basis points (annualized) on debt issued by insured

* Depository institutions include insured branches of foreign banks (IBAs)

of September 30, 2008, that matured on or before June 

30, 2009. Eligible entities could issue debt up to 125 

percent of that outstanding amount. The cap for FDICinsured institutions that had no outstanding short-term 

senior unsecured debt other than Fed funds was set at 2 

percent of liabilities as of September 30, 2008. Total 

debt outstanding at quarter-end represented 54 percent 

of issuing entities’ total cap.

$309 Billion in FDIC-Guaranteed Debt Was 

Outstanding at December 31, 2009

Eighty-four financial entities—54 insured depository 

institutions and 30 bank and thrift holding companies 

and nonbank affiliates—had $309 billion in guaranteed 

debt outstanding at the end of the fourth quarter. Some 

banking groups issued FDIC-guaranteed debt at both 

the subsidiary and holding company level, but most 

guaranteed debt was issued by holding companies or 

nonbank affiliates of depository institutions. Bank and 

thrift holding companies and nonbank affiliates issued 

80 percent of FDIC-guaranteed debt outstanding at 

December 31, 2009.

Debt outstanding at December 31, 2009, had longer 

terms at issuance, compared to debt outstanding at 

year-end 2008. Less than 1 percent of debt outstanding 

matures in 180 days or less, compared to 49 percent 

at year-end 2008; and 78 percent matures more than 

two years after issuance, compared to 39 percent at 

December 31, 2008. Among types of debt instruments, 

91 percent was in medium-term notes, compared to 

44 percent at year-end. The share of outstanding debt 

in commercial paper fell to under 0.1 percent from 

43 percent at year-end.

on debt issued by other participating entities. For debt 

issued under the extension, that is, debt issued after 

June 30, 2009, or debt that matures after June 30, 2012, 

surcharges were 25 basis points (annualized) on debt 

issued by insured depository institutions and 50 basis 

points (annualized) on debt issued by other participating entities. As of December 31, 2009, a total of $10.3 

billion in fees had been assessed under the DGP.

A Majority of Eligible Entities Have Chosen to 

Participate in the TLGP

More than 86 percent of FDIC-insured institutions 

opted in to the original TAGP, and more than half of 

all eligible entities elected to opt in to the DGP. Over 

6,000 depository institutions remain in the extended 

TAGP, while just over 500 elected to opt out of the 

program after year-end 2009. Lists of institutions that 

opted out of the guarantee programs are posted at http://

www.fdic.gov/regulations/resources/TLGP/optout.html.

$834 Billion in Transaction Accounts over 

$250,000 Guaranteed

According to fourth quarter 2009 Call and Thrift Financial Reports, insured institutions reported 685,465 noninterest-bearing transaction accounts over $250,000, an 

increase of 5.6 percent compared to third quarter 2009. 

These deposit accounts totaled $1.0 trillion, of which 

$834 billion was guaranteed under the TAGP. More 

than 5,800 FDIC-insured institutions reported noninterest-bearing transaction accounts over $250,000 in value.

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 “poolingof-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. 

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, e.g., institutions 

can move their home offices between regions, and savings 

institutions can convert to commercial banks or commercial 

banks may convert to savings institutions.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Extended Net Operating Loss Carryback Period 

The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act 

of 2009, which was enacted on November 6, 2009, permits 

banks and other businesses, excluding those banking organizations that received capital from the U.S. Treasury under the 

Troubled Asset Relief Program, to elect a net operating loss 

carryback period of three, four, or five years instead of the 

usual carryback period of two years for any one tax year ending after December 31, 2007, and beginning before January 1, 

2010. For calendar year banks, this extended carryback period 

applies to either the 2008 or 2009 tax year. The amount of 

the net operating loss that can be carried back to the fifth 

carryback year is limited to 50 percent of the available taxable income for that fifth year, but this limit does not apply to 

other carryback years. 

Under generally accepted accounting principles, banks may 

not record the effects of this tax change in their balance 

sheets and income statements for financial and regulatory 

reporting purposes until the period in which the law was 

enacted, i.e., the fourth quarter of 2009. Therefore, banks 

should recognize the effects of this fourth quarter 2009 tax 

law change on their current and deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, in 

their Call Reports for December 31, 2009. Banks should not 

amend their Call Reports for prior quarters for the effects of 

the extended net operating loss carryback period. 

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment 

When the fair value of an investment in a debt or equity 

security is less than its cost basis, the impairment is either 

temporary or other-than-temporary. To determine whether 

the impairment is other-than-temporary, an institution must 

apply other pertinent guidance such as paragraph 16 of FASB 

Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt 

and Equity Securities; FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 115-1 

and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary 

Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments; FSP 

FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of 

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments; paragraph 6 of 

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 V-A of the 

FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile is aggregated for all FDICinsured institutions, both commercial banks and savings institutions. Tables VI-A (Derivatives) and VII-A (Servicing, 

Securitization, and Asset Sales Activities) aggregate information only for insured commercial banks and state-chartered 

savings banks that file quarterly Call Reports. Table VIII-A 

(Trust Services) aggregates Trust asset and income information collected annually from all FDIC-insured 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 IV-B.

A separate set of tables (Tables I-B through IV-B) provides 

comparative quarterly data related to the Deposit Insurance 

Fund (DIF), problem institutions, failed/assisted institutions, 

estimated FDIC-insured deposits, as well as assessment rate 

information. Depository institutions 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 submitted by all FDIC-insured depository 

institutions. This information is stored on and retrieved from 

the FDIC’s Research Information System (RIS) data base.

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.

years instead of the usual carryback period of two years for 

any tax year ending in 2008 or, at the small business’s election, any tax year beginning in 2008. Under generally accepted accounting principles, institutions may not record the 

effect of this tax change in their balance sheets and income 

statements for financial and regulatory reporting purposes 

until the period in which the law was enacted, i.e., the first 

quarter of 2009.

Business Combinations and Noncontrolling 

(Minority) Interests 

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 

(Revised), Business Combinations (FAS 141(R)), and 

Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated 

Financial Statements (FAS 160). Under FAS 141(R), all business combinations, including combinations of mutual entities, 

are to be accounted for by applying the acquisition method. 

FAS 160 defines a noncontrolling interest, also called a 

minority interest, as the portion of equity in an institution’s 

subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent 

institution. FAS 160 requires an institution to clearly present 

in its consolidated financial statements the equity ownership 

in and results of its subsidiaries that are attributable to the 

noncontrolling ownership interests in these subsidiaries. FAS 

141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for 

which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the 

first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 

15, 2008. Similarly, FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Thus, for institutions 

with calendar year fiscal years, these two accounting standards 

take effect in 2009. Beginning in March 2009, Institution 

equity capital and Noncontrolling interests are separately 

reported in arriving at Total equity capital and Net income.

FASB Statement No. 157 Fair Value Measurements issued in 

September 2006 and FASB Statement No. 159 The Fair Value 

Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities issued in 

February 2007 – both are effective in 2008 with early adoption 

permitted in 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value and establishes 

a framework for developing fair value estimates for the fair 

value measurements that are already required or permitted 

under other standards. FASB FSP 157-4, issued in April 2009, 

provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in 

accordance with FAS 157 when the volume and level of 

activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. 

The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances 

that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The FSP is effective 

for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 

2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after 

March 15, 2009.

Fair value continues to be used for derivatives, trading securities, and available-for-sale securities. Changes in fair value go 

through earnings for trading securities and most derivatives. 

Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are 

reported in other comprehensive income. Available-for-sale 

securities and held-to-maturity debt securities are written 

down to fair value if impairment is other than temporary and 

loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair 

value. 

FAS 159 allows institutions to report certain financial assets 

and liabilities at fair value with subsequent changes in fair 

value included in earnings. In general, an institution may 

elect the fair value option for an eligible financial asset or liaAccounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity

EITF Issue No. 99-20.

Under FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 issued on April 9, 

2009, if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected on a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis, a 

credit loss exists. In this situation, if an institution does not 

intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not 

that the institution will be required to sell the debt security 

before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any currentperiod credit loss, an other-than-temporary impairment has 

occurred. The amount of the total other-than-temporary 

impairment related to the credit loss must be recognized in 

earnings, but the amount of the total impairment related to 

other factors must be recognized in other comprehensive 

income, net of applicable taxes. Although the debt security 

would be written down to its fair value, its new amortized cost 

basis is the previous amortized cost basis less the other-thantemporary impairment recognized in earnings. In addition, if 

an institution intends to sell a debt security whose fair value 

is less than its amortized costs basis or it is more likely than 

not that the institution will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, an other-thantemporary impairment has occurred and the entire difference 

between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value 

must be recognized in earnings. 

For any debt security held at the beginning of the interim 

period in which FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is adopted 

for which an other-than-temporary impairment loss has been 

previously recognized, if an institution does not intend to sell 

such a debt security and it is not more likely than not that 

the institution will be required to sell the debt security before 

recovery of its amortized cost basis, the institution should recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the FSP as 

an adjustment to the interim period’s opening balance of 

retained earnings, net of applicable taxes, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income. 

The cumulative effect on retained earnings must be calculated by comparing the present value of the cash flows expected 

to be collected on the debt security with the security’s amortized cost basis as of the beginning of the interim period of 

adoption.

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and 

annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Early 

adoption of this FSP is permitted for periods ending after 

March 15, 2009, if certain conditions are met. Institutions are 

expected to adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2 for regulatory 

reporting purposes in accordance with the FSP’s effective 

date. 

Extended Net Operating Loss Carryback Period 

for Small Businesses 

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,

as late as 2005. The assets and liabilities of a consolidated 

variable interest entity are reported on a line-by-line basis 

according to the asset and liability categories shown on the 

bank’s balance sheet, as well as related income items. Most 

small banks are unlikely to have any “variable interests” in 

variable interest entities.

[Note: In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 166, 

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (FAS 166), and 

Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation 

No. 46(R) (FAS 167), which change the way entities account 

for securitizations and special purpose entities. FAS 166 revises FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and 

Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of 

Liabilities, by eliminating the concept of a “qualifying specialpurpose entity,” creating the concept of a “participating interest” (which is discussed more fully in the following section), 

changing the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, 

and requiring additional disclosures. FAS 167 revises FASB 

Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest 

Entities, by changing how a bank or other company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is 

not controlled through voting or similar rights, i.e., a “variable interest entity” (VIE), should be consolidated. Under 

FAS 167, a bank must perform a qualitative assessment to 

determine whether its variable interest or interests give it a 

controlling financial interest in a VIE. If a bank’s variable 

interest or interests provide it with the power to direct the 

most significant activities of the VIE, and the right to receive 

benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the bank is the primary beneficiary of, and therefore must consolidate, the VIE. 

Both FAS 166 and FAS 167 take effect as of the beginning of 

each bank’s first annual reporting period that begins after 

November 15, 2009, for interim periods therein, and for 

interim and annual reporting periods thereafter (i.e., as of 

January 1, 2010, for banks with a calendar year fiscal year). 

Earlier application is prohibited. Banks are expected to adopt 

FAS 166 and FAS 167 for Call Report purposes in accordance with the effective date of these two standards. Also, 

FAS 166 has modified the criteria that must be met in order 

for a transfer of a portion of a financial asset, such as a loan 

participation, to qualify for sale accounting. These changes 

apply to transfers of loan participations on or after the effective date of FAS 166, which is discussed above. Therefore, 

banks with a calendar year fiscal year must account for transfers of loan participations on or after January 1, 2010, in 

accordance with FAS 166. In general, loan participations 

transferred before the effective date of FAS 166 (January 1, 

2010, for calendar year banks) are not affected by this new 

accounting standard and pre-FAS 166 participations that 

were properly accounted for as sales under FASB Statement 

No. 140 will continue to be reported as having been sold.] 

FASB Interpretation No. 48 on Uncertain Tax Positions – FASB 

Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income 

Taxes (FIN 48), was issued in June 2006 as an interpretation 

of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. 

Under FIN 48, the term “tax position” refers to “a position in 

a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be 

taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities.” FIN 48 further states that a “tax position can result in a permanent 

reduction of income taxes payable, a deferral of income taxes 

bility when it first recognizes the instrument on its balance 

sheet or enters into an eligible firm commitment. 

FASB Statement No. 158 Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit 

Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – issued in September 

2006 requires a bank to recognize in 2007, and subsequently, 

the funded status of its postretirement plans on its balance 

sheet. An overfunded plan is recognized as an asset and an 

underfunded plan is recognized as a liability. An adjustment is 

made to equity as accumulated other comprehensive income 

(AOCI) upon application of FAS 158, and AOCI is adjusted 

in subsequent periods as net periodic benefit costs are recognized in earnings. 

FASB Statement No. 156 Accounting for Servicing of Financial 

Assets – issued in March 2006 and effective in 2007, requires 

all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be 

initially measured at fair value and allows a bank the option 

to subsequently adjust that value by periodic revaluation and 

recognition of earnings or by periodic amortization to 

earnings. 

FASB Statement No. 155 Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial 

Instruments – issued in February 2006, requires bifurcation of 

certain derivatives embedded in interests in securitized financial assets and permits fair value measurement (i.e., a fair 

value option) for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise require 

bifurcation under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133). In 

addition, FAS 155 clarifies which interest-only and principalonly strips are not subject to FAS 133. 

Purchased Impaired Loans and Debt Securities – Statement of 

Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities 

Acquired in a Transfer. The SOP applies to loans and debt 

securities acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 

15, 2004. In general, this Statement of Position applies to 

“purchased impaired loans and debt securities” (i.e., loans and 

debt securities that a bank has purchased, including those 

acquired in a purchase business combination, when it is probable, at the purchase date, that the bank will be unable to 

collect all contractually required payments receivable). Banks 

must follow Statement of Position 03-3 for Call Report purposes. The SOP does not apply to the loans that a bank has 

originated, prohibits “carrying over” or creation of valuation 

allowances in the initial accounting, and any subsequent valuation allowances reflect only those losses incurred by the 

investor after acquisition.

GNMA Buy-back Option – If an issuer of GNMA securities has 

the option to buy back the loans that collateralize the 

GNMA securities, when certain delinquency criteria are met, 

FASB Statement No. 140 requires that loans with this buyback option must be brought back on the issuer’s books as 

assets. The rebooking of GNMA loans is required regardless 

of whether the issuer intends to exercise the buy-back option. 

The banking agencies clarified in May 2005 that all GNMA 

loans that are rebooked because of delinquency should be 

reported as past due according to their contractual terms.

FASB Interpretation No. 46 – The FASB issued Interpretation 

No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, in January 

2003 and revised it in December 2003. Generally, banks with 

variable interests in variable interest entities created after 

December 31, 2003, must consolidate them. The timing of 

consolidation varies with certain situations with application

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 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.

otherwise currently payable to future years, or a change in the 

expected realizability of deferred tax assets.” FIN 48 was originally issued effective for fiscal years beginning after December 

15, 2006. Banks must adopt FIN 48 for Call Report purposes 

in accordance with the interpretation’s effective date except 

as follows. On December 31, 2008, the FASB decided to defer 

the effective date of FIN 48 for eligible nonpublic enterprises 

and to require those enterprises to adopt FIN 48 for annual 

periods beginning after December 15, 2008. A nonpublic 

enterprise under certain conditions is eligible for deferral, 

even if it opted to issue interim or quarterly financial information in 2007 under earlier guidance that reflected the 

adoption of FIN 48.

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, 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 – assessable deposits consist of DIF deposits 

(deposits insured by the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund) in 

banks’ domestic offices with certain adjustments).

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 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 classified in a 

bank’s balance sheet as “Other liabilities.”

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.
FDIC Quarterly 26 2010, Volume 4, No. 1

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 charters – 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 file 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. 

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 stock for the reporting period.

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).

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.

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 

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 enterprises. Also, see “Securities,” below.

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

from balance sheet because of uncollectibility), 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.

should be adjusted. This additional information includes market data, financial performance measures, considerations of 

the ability of an institution to withstand financial stress, and 

loss severity indicators. Any adjustment is limited to no more 

than one basis point.

Effective April 1, 2009, the FDIC introduced three possible 

adjustments to an institution’s initial base assessment rate: 

(1) a decrease of up to 5 basis points for long-term unsecured 

debt and, for small institutions, a portion of Tier 1 capital; 

(2) an increase not to exceed 50 percent of an institution’s 

assessment rate before the increase for secured liabilities in 

excess of 25 percent of domestic deposits; and (3) for nonRisk Category I institutions, an increase not to exceed 10 

basis points for brokered deposits in excess of 10 percent of 

domestic deposits. After applying all possible adjustments, 

minimum and maximum total base assessment rates for each 

risk category are as follows:

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

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

Beginning in 2007, 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. For institutions with long-term debt issuer ratings, changes in ratings are effective for assessment purposes 

as of the date the change was announced.

Special Assessment – On May 22, 2009, the FDIC board 

approved a final rule that imposed a 5 basis point special 

assessment as of June 30, 2009. The special assessment was 

levied on each insured depository institution’s assets minus 

its Tier 1 capital as reported in its report of condition as of 

June 30, 2009. The special assessment will be collected 

September 30, 2009, at the same time that the risk-based 

assessment for the second quarter of 2009 is collected. The 

special assessment for any institution was capped at 10 basis 

points of the institution’s assessment base for the second 

quarter of 2009 risk-based assessment.

Prepaid Deposit Insurance Assessments – On November 12, 

2009, the FDIC Board of Directors adopted a final rule 

requiring insured depository institutions (except those that 

are exempted) to prepay their quarterly risk-based deposit 

insurance assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for 

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

securities and extraordinary items) as a percentage of average

Risk Categories and Assessment Rate Schedule – The current risk 

categories became effective January 1, 2007. Capital ratios 

and supervisory ratings distinguish one risk category from 

another. The following table shows the relationship of risk 

categories (I, II, III, IV) to capital and supervisory groups as 

well as the initial base assessment rates (in basis points), 

effective April 1, 2009 for each risk category. Supervisory 

Group A generally includes institutions with CAMELS composite ratings of 1 or 2; Supervisory Group B generally 

includes institutions with a CAMELS composite rating of 3; 

and Supervisory Group C generally includes institutions with 

CAMELS composite ratings of 4 or 5. For purposes of riskbased assessment capital groups, undercapitalized includes 

institutions that are significantly or critically 

undercapitalized.

Effective April 1, 2009, the initial base assessment rates are 

12 to 45 basis points. An institution’s total assessment rate 

may be less than or greater than its initial base assessment 

rate as a result of additional risk adjustments.

The base assessment rates for most institutions in Risk 

Category I are based on a combination of financial ratios and 

CAMELS component ratings (the financial ratios method).

For large institutions in Risk Category I (generally those with 

at least $10 billion in assets) that have long-term debt issuer 

ratings, assessment rates are determined by equally weighting 

the institution’s CAMELS component ratings, long-term debt 

issuer ratings, and the financial ratios method assessment rate. 

For all large Risk Category I institutions, additional risk factors are considered to determine whether assessment rates

Transaction Account Guarantee Program (TAGP) provides a full 

guarantee of non-interest-bearing deposit transaction 

accounts above $250,000, at depository institutions that 

elected to participate in the program. On August 26, 2009, 

the FDIC Board voted to extend the TAGP six months 

beyond its original expiration date to June 30, 2010. 

Debt Guarantee Program (DGP) provides a full guarantee of 

senior unsecured debt1

 issued by eligible institutions after 

October 14, 2008. Initially, debt issued before June 30, 

2009, and maturing on or before June 30, 2012, could be 

guaranteed. On March 17, 2009, the deadline for issuance 

under the program was extended to October 31, 2009, and 

the expiration of the guarantee was set at the earlier of 

maturity of the debt or December 31, 2012. Institutions eligible for participation in the debt guarantee program 

include insured depository institutions, U.S. bank holding 

companies, certain U.S. savings and loan holding companies, and other affiliates of an insured depository institution 

that the FDIC designates as eligible entities. The FDIC 

Board adopted a final rule on October 20, 2009, that established a limited six-month emergency guarantee facility 

upon expiration of the DGP.

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 & 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.)

Volatile liabilities – the sum of large-denomination time deposits, foreign-office deposits, federal funds purchased, securities 

sold under agreements to repurchase, and other borrowings. 

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

income earned on loans and investments as a percentage of 

average earning assets.

 Senior unsecured debt generally includes term Federal funds 

purchased, promissory notes, commercial paper, unsubordinated 

unsecured notes, certificates of deposit (CDs) standing to the credit of 

a bank, and U.S. dollar denominated bank deposits owed to an insured 

depository institution.

all of 2010, 2011, and 2012, on December 30, 2009. Each 

institution’s regular risk-based deposit insurance assessment 

for the third quarter of 2009, which is paid in arrears, also is 

payable on December 30, 2009. 

Risk-weighted assets – assets adjusted for risk-based capital 

definitions which include on-balance-sheet as well as offbalance-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-balancesheet accounts.

Securities – excludes securities held in trading accounts. 

Banks’ securities portfolios consist of securities designated as 

“held-to-maturity,” which are reported at amortized cost 

(book value), and securities designated as “available-for-sale,” 

reported at fair (market) value.

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.

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.

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.

Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) – was approved 

by the FDIC Board on October 13, 2008. The TLGP was 

designed to help relieve the crisis in the credit markets by 

giving banks access to liquidity during a time of global financial distress. Participation in the TLGP is voluntary. The 

TLGP has two components:
