WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "targeted," "continue," "remain," "will," "should," "may," "plans," "estimates" and similar references to future periods; however, such words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. References to the "Company," "Webster," "we," "our," or "us" mean Webster Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
projections of revenues, expenses, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, allowance for credit losses, and other financial items;
statements of plans, objectives and expectations of Webster or its management or Board of Directors;
statements of future economic performance; and
statements of assumptions underlying such statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on Webster’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 28, 2020, and in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 1 of this report. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be attained during the full year ending December 31, 2020, or any future period.
Executive Summary
Nature of Operations

Webster Bank, National Association (Webster Bank) is the principal consolidated subsidiary of Webster Financial Corporation.

COVID-19
COVID-19, or the Coronavirus, has continued to cause significant disruptions to the U.S. economy and disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates. The broad impact and preventive measures taken to contain or mitigate the outbreak have, and are likely to continue to have, significant negative effects on the U.S. and global economy, employment levels, employee productivity, and financial market conditions. The pandemic may cause increasingly negative effects on the ability of our borrowers to repay outstanding loans, the value of collateral securing loans, demand for loans and other financial services products, and consumer discretionary spending. As a result of these and other consequences, the outbreak has adversely affected our business, results of operations and financial condition. The extent to which COVID-19 will continue to impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, and the pace and extent of economic recovery in the United States and, in particular, in the states in which we operate.
Webster has taken the following actions to support its employees, customers, and the communities we serve through the following initiatives:
Support for Employees: Webster transitioned to a remote work environment, where possible, with approximately 75% of employees currently working remotely, no employees have been furloughed, zero-interest loans were made available to assist employees and their families, expanded recognition programs were launched, and extra cleaning and safety protocols have been put in place for all properties where a slow and cautious return to the workplace is being implemented in compliance with state guidelines;
Support for Customers: Webster instituted a foreclosure moratorium for occupied Webster-owned residential mortgages, modified branch operations, increased deposit limits, waived penalties for early CD withdrawals, and waived or reduced certain fees. In addition, Webster continues to work with customers adversely impacted by COVID-19 through participation in the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) where it has funded $1.4 billion in PPP loans to over 10,000 customers. Webster continues to engage with its customers and has provided accommodations through various loan modifications supporting over 2,500 customers; and
Support for Communities: Webster immediately provided more than $375 thousand in donations to Feeding America, American Red Cross, and United Way (CT, RI, MA, NY, WI) to satisfy urgent basic needs brought on by the pandemic, and also re-prioritized and expanded its existing philanthropic budget by an additional $600 thousand to support COVID-19 related causes.

Additional information regarding the effects and potential effects of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic on Webster's business, operating results, and financial condition is described in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Refer to "Use of Estimates" for information related to the potentially adverse impact of COVID-19 on accounting estimates which could affect the carrying value of certain assets and "Supervision and Regulation" for updated legal and regulatory matters that may have an impact on our business. Also, refer to Part II - Item 1A Risk Factors for an update to the Company's risk factors.
Strategic Initiatives
The Company is undergoing an assessment to identify revenue enhancements and cost saving opportunities across the organization. As management continues to evaluate various initiatives, no decision has been made on any specific initiative that would have had a material impact to the Company's results of operations or financial condition at, or for the periods ended September 30, 2020. Once implemented, the strategic initiatives are expected to drive incremental revenue, reduce costs, and enhance digital capabilities.
Results of Operations
The Company's financial position and results of operations as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The economic environment and uncertainty related to the pandemic contributed to the $138.8 million provision for credit losses recognized under the new CECL accounting standard adopted by the Company on January 1, 2020. While the Company has not experienced a significant increase in charge-offs due to the COVID-19 pandemic to-date, the continued uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the pandemic and related economic effects will continue to affect the Company’s estimate of its allowance for credit losses and resulting provision for credit losses. The Company’s interest income may also be negatively impacted in future periods as the Company continues to work with its affected borrowers to help them manage their financial position, by deferring payments, interest, and fees. Additionally, net interest margin has been reduced generally as a result of the low rate environment. These uncertainties and the resulting economic environment will continue to affect earnings and growth projections which may result in deterioration of asset quality in the Company's loan and investment portfolios, or fair value of other assets.

Providing the non-GAAP financial measures identified in the preceding table provides investors with information useful in understanding the Company's financial performance, performance trends and financial position. These measures are used by management for internal planning and forecasting purposes, as well as by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare peer company operating performance. Management believes that the presentation, together with the accompanying reconciliations provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company's business and allows investors to view its performance in a similar manner. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis measures and results. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these measures with other companies that present measures having the same or similar names.

Financial Performance Summary
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net income of $69.3 million decreased $24.6 million, or 26.2%, from the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in net interest income and to a lesser extent an increase in the provision for credit losses of $11.5 million. This was partially offset by a $7.1 million decrease in income tax expense driven by the lower level of pre-tax income.
Net interest income decreased $21.3 million, while non-interest income increased $5.1 million, and non-interest expense increased $4.1 million, resulting in a non-GAAP efficiency ratio of 60.0%.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders of $66.9 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.75 decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to earnings applicable to common shareholders of $91.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.00 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net income of $160.6 million decreased $131.7 million, or 45.1%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to an increase in the provision for credit losses of $107.0 million. This was partially offset by a $33.8 million decrease in income tax expense driven by the lower level of pre-tax income.
Net interest income decreased $49.4 million, while non-interest income decreased $5.9 million, and non-interest expense increased $3.2 million, resulting in a non-GAAP efficiency ratio of 59.3%.
Earnings applicable to common shareholders of $153.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.70 decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to earnings applicable to common shareholders of $284.9 million and diluted earnings per share of $3.10 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

These factors are influenced by changes in economic conditions that impact interest rate policy, competitive conditions that impact loan and deposit pricing strategies, as well as the extent of interest lost to non-performing assets.

Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets. Net interest income is the Company's largest source of revenue, representing 76.4% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Net interest margin is the ratio of tax-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets for the period.
Webster manages the risk of changes in interest rates on net interest income and net interest margin through its Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) and through related interest rate risk monitoring and management policies. ALCO meets at least monthly to make decisions on the investment securities and funding portfolios based on the economic outlook, its interest rate expectations, the portfolio risk position, and other factors.
Four main tools are used for managing interest rate risk:
the size, duration and credit risk of the investment portfolio;
the size and duration of the wholesale funding portfolio;
interest rate contracts; and
the pricing and structure of loans and deposits.
The federal funds rate target range was 0-0.25% at September 30, 2020 compared to 1.50-1.75% at December 31, 2019 and 2.25-2.50% at December 31, 2018. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury rate decreased to 0.69% at September 30, 2020 from 1.92% at December 31, 2019 and 2.69% at December 31, 2018. Refer to the "Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk" section for further discussion of Webster's interest rate risk position.
Net Interest Income
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
Net interest income totaled $219.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $240.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $21.3 million. On a fully tax-equivalent basis, net interest income decreased $21.1 million when compared to the same period in 2019.
Net interest margin decreased 61 basis points to 2.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 3.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was a result of asset sensitivity in a period during which the federal funds rate was reduced to near zero, with variable rate loan yields particularly impacted.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
Net interest income totaled $674.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $723.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $49.4 million. On a fully tax-equivalent basis, net interest income increased $49.0 million when compared to the same period in 2019.
Net interest margin decreased 59 basis points to 3.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 3.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was a result of asset sensitivity in a period during which the federal funds rate was reduced to near zero, with variable rate loan yields particularly impacted.

Average loans and leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $2.3 billion compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The loan and lease portfolio comprised 70.8% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2020 compared to 71.0% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2019. The loan and lease portfolio yield decreased 115 basis points to 3.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 4.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in the yield on the average loan and lease portfolio is primarily due to the impact of variable-rate loans resetting lower and PPP loan activity at a lower yield.
Average securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $1.0 billion compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The securities portfolio comprised 29.1% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2020 compared to 28.9% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2019. The securities portfolio yield decreased 38 basis points to 2.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 3.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in yield on the securities portfolio is primarily due to lower yield on variable-rate securities, higher premium amortization, and yield from newly purchased securities less than that of securities maturing and paying down.
Average total deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $2.8 billion compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was driven by transactional deposit products, which includes HSAs. The average cost of deposits decreased 26 basis points to 0.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 0.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The average cost of deposits decreased due to deposit product mix and reductions in the federal funds rate. Higher cost time deposits decreased to 14.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 17.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as a percentage of total interest-bearing deposits.
Average total borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $355.6 million compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Average securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings increased $447.4 million, while average FHLB advances decreased $214.3 million. Average long-term debt increased $122.5 million, as a result of an underwritten public offering of $300 million senior fixed-rate notes completed on March 25, 2019. The average cost of borrowings decreased 120 basis points to 1.55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 2.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in the average cost of borrowings was largely a result of changes in the federal funds rate and borrowings mix.
Provision for Credit Losses
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
The provision for credit losses was $22.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which increased $11.5 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in provision for credit losses is primarily the result of economic conditions caused by COVID-19 on the allowance for credit losses and higher credit provisioning due to the implementation of CECL. Total net charge-offs was $11.5 million and $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
The provision for credit losses was $138.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which increased $107.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in provision for credit losses is primarily the result of economic conditions caused by COVID-19 on the allowance for credit losses and higher credit provisioning due to the implementation of CECL. Total net charge-offs was $35.7 million and $35.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Allowance for credit losses on loan and leases coverage increased to 1.69% at September 30, 2020 from 1.04% at December 31, 2019. See the sections captioned "Loans and Leases" through "Troubled Debt Restructurings" contained elsewhere in this report for further details.

Income Taxes
Webster recognized income tax expense of $18.3 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 20.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $25.4 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 21.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
The decrease in tax expense is due to a lower level of pre-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily reflects the effects of a lower level of pre-tax income estimated for 2020 as compared to 2019, partially offset by the recognition of net tax benefits specific to the 2019 period.
Webster recognized income tax expense of $44.2 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 21.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $78.0 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 21.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The decrease in tax expense is due to a lower level of pre-tax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 primarily reflects the recognition of $0.2 million of net tax expense specific to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, including tax deficiencies of $0.6 million from stock-based compensation, as compared to the recognition of $6.2 million of net tax benefits specific to the 2019 period, including $2.7 million of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, partially offset by the effects of a lower level of pre-tax income estimated for 2020 as compared to 2019.
For additional information related to income taxes, including deferred tax assets (DTAs), refer to the section captioned "Use of Estimates" elsewhere in this Item, and Note 9: Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Segment Reporting
Webster’s operations are organized into three reportable segments that represent its primary businesses - Commercial Banking, HSA Bank (a division of Webster Bank, National Association), and Community Banking. These segments reflect how executive management responsibilities are assigned, the type of customer served, how products and services are provided, and how discrete financial information is currently evaluated by executive management. Segments are evaluated using pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue (PPNR). Certain Corporate Treasury activities, along with the amounts required to reconcile profitability metrics to amounts reported in accordance with GAAP, are included in the Corporate and Reconciling category. Refer to Note 16: Segment Reporting in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for a reconciliation of segment information to amounts reported in accordance with GAAP and for a description of segment reporting methodology. To better align segment results with key measurements used to review segment performance, the funds transfer pricing calculation was refined to reflect the allocation of capital credit to net interest income. Prior period amounts were revised accordingly.
Commercial Banking is comprised of Commercial Banking and Private Banking operating segments.
Commercial Banking provides commercial and industrial lending and leasing, commercial real estate lending, and treasury and payment solutions. Specifically, Webster Bank deploys lending through middle market, commercial real estate, equipment financing, asset-based lending and specialty lending units. These groups utilize a relationship approach model throughout its footprint when providing lending, deposit, and cash management services to middle market companies. In addition, Commercial Banking serves as a referral source to the other lines of business.
Private Banking provides asset management, financial planning services, trust services, loan products, and deposit products for high net worth clients, not-for-profit organizations, and business clients. These client relationships generate fee revenue on assets under management or administration, while a majority of the relationships also include lending and, or, deposit accounts which generates net interest income and other ancillary fees.
HSA Bank offers comprehensive consumer directed healthcare solutions that include, HSAs, health reimbursement accounts, flexible spending accounts, and other financial solutions. HSAs are used in conjunction with high deductible health plans in order to facilitate tax advantages for account holders with respect to health care spending and savings, in accordance with applicable laws. HSAs are offered through employers for the benefit of their employees or directly to individual consumers and are distributed nationwide directly as well as through national and regional insurance carriers, benefit consultants and financial advisors.
HSA Bank deposits provide long duration low-cost funding that is used to minimize the Company’s use of wholesale funding in support of the Company’s loan growth. In addition, non-interest revenue is generated predominantly through service fees and interchange income.
Community Banking is comprised of Personal Banking and Business Banking operating segments.
Through a distribution network, consisting of 156 banking centers and 298 ATMs, a customer care center, and a full range of web and mobile-based banking services, Community Banking serves consumer and business customers primarily throughout southern New England and into Westchester County, New York.
Personal Banking offers consumer deposit and fee-based services, residential mortgages, home equity lines and, or, loans, unsecured consumer loans, and credit card products. In addition, investment and securities-related services, including brokerage and investment advice are offered through a strategic partnership with LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (LPL), a broker dealer registered with the SEC, a registered investment advisor under federal and applicable state laws, a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Webster Bank has employees located throughout its banking center network, who, through LPL, are registered representatives.
Business Banking offers credit, deposit, and cash flow management products to businesses and professional service firms with annual revenues of up to $25 million. This group builds broad customer relationships through business bankers and business certified banking center managers, supported by a team of customer care center bankers and industry and product specialists.

Non-interest expense increased $5.2 million, primarily due to annual merit increases and the impact from an extended tax filing season.

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue increased $5.3 million, or 16.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. Net interest income increased $3.6 million, as a result of loan and deposit growth partially offset by the impact of the lower rate environment. Non-interest income increased $0.9 million, driven by increased fee income from mortgage banking activities partially offset by lower deposit related fees and investment services fees. Non-interest expense decreased $0.8 million, primarily resulting from lower operations costs, as well as a business optimization charge taken in 2019.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue decreased $7.9 million, or 7.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. Net interest income decreased $6.2 million, as a result of the lower interest rate environment partially offset by loan and deposit growth. Non-interest income decreased $1.2 million, as a result of lower deposit related fees, loan servicing income, and fees from investment services, partially offset by increased fee income from mortgage banking activities. Non-interest expense increased $0.6 million, primarily due to higher employee related expenses, continued investments in technology, and other corporate overhead, mostly offset by decreased deposit and loan operations costs, marketing expenses, sales activity related expenses, and card processing costs.

Assets under administration (off-balance sheet)3,697,985 3,712,311 
Loans increased $694.5 million at September 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. The increase is due to the originations of PPP loans by Business Banking, partially offset by lower residential mortgage balances due to increased refinancing activity and the continuing net paydowns in the home equity portfolio.
Loan originations in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $2.9 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The increase was driven by the originations of the PPP loans and increased residential mortgage originations, partially offset by a decline in home equity originations. PPP loans at September 30, 2020 were $915.6 million.
Deposits increased $1.4 billion at September 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 resulting from higher balances in business and consumer transactional accounts coupled with increases in savings and money market products. The balance increases were driven by proceeds from the PPP loans, CARES Act stimulus payments, and the shifting of deposits from maturing certificates of deposits.
Webster Bank's investment services division had assets under administration, through its strategic partnership with LPL, of $3.7 billion at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Financial Condition
At September 30, 2020, total assets of $33.0 billion increased by $2.6 billion compared to December 31, 2019, primarily driven by increases of $1.8 billion in loans, $807.6 million in investment securities, and $218.9 million in accrued interest receivable and other assets. Total liabilities of $29.8 billion increased by $2.6 billion compared to December 31, 2019, primarily reflecting increases of $1.7 billion in demand deposits, $1.3 billion in interest-bearing deposits, and $560.1 million in HSAs. Total shareholders' equity of $3.2 billion increased by $11.9 million compared to December 31, 2019. The increase in shareholders' equity reflects $160.6 million of net income and $88.1 million of other comprehensive income, partially offset by a $76.6 million decrease in connection with the common stock repurchase program, a $51.2 million decrease for a cumulative effect of change in accounting principles in connection with the adoption of CECL, and $109.2 million and $5.9 million in dividends paid to common and preferred shareholders, respectively.
Book value was $34.09 per common share as of September 30, 2020, compared with $33.28 per common share as of December 31, 2019. On October 27, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders, maintaining it at $0.40 per common share. Given the current economic forecast, anticipated earnings, and capital position, the Company anticipates continuation of the dividend at its current level. The Company will continue to monitor its ability to pay dividends at this level.
As of September 30, 2020, both the Company and the Bank were considered well-capitalized, meeting all capital requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules. In accordance with regulatory capital rules, the Company elected an option to delay the impact of CECL on its regulatory capital over a two-year deferral and subsequent three-year transition period ending December 31, 2024. Therefore, capital ratios and amounts as of September 30, 2020 exclude the impact of the increased allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, held-to-maturity debt securities and unfunded loan commitments attributed to the adoption of CECL. This resulted in a 31, 30, 30, and 22 basis point benefit to the Company's CET1 risk based capital, total risk based capital, tier 1 risk based capital, and tier 1 leverage capital, respectively, at September 30, 2020. The Company's capital ratios remain strong, in excess of well capitalized even without the benefit of the CECL impact delay.

Investment Securities
Webster Bank's investment securities are managed within regulatory guidelines and corporate policy, which include limitations on aspects such as concentrations in and type of investments as well as minimum risk ratings per type of security. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) may establish additional individual limits on a certain type of investment if the concentration in such investment presents a safety and soundness concern. In addition to Webster Bank, the Holding Company also may directly hold investment securities from time-to-time. At September 30, 2020, the Company had no holdings in obligations of individual states, counties, or municipalities which exceeded 10% of consolidated shareholders’ equity.
Webster maintains, through its Corporate Treasury function, investment securities that are primarily used to provide a source of liquidity for operating needs, to generate interest income, and as a means to manage interest-rate risk. Investment securities are classified into two major categories, available-for-sale which currently consists of agency collateralized mortgage obligations (Agency CMO); agency mortgage-backed securities (Agency MBS); agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (Agency CMBS); non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS); collateralized loan obligation securities (CLO); and corporate debt, and held-to-maturity which currently consists of Agency CMO; Agency MBS; Agency CMBS; municipal bonds and notes; and CMBS. Investment securities had a carrying value and an average risk weighting for regulatory purposes of $9.0 billion and 13%, respectively, at September 30, 2020 and $8.2 billion and 16%, respectively, at December 31, 2019.
Available-for-sale investment securities increased by $378.4 million, primarily due to Agency CMBS net purchase activity partially offset by net principal paydowns for Agency MBS. The tax-equivalent yield in the portfolio was 2.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 2.98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Available-for-sale investment securities are evaluated for credit losses on a quarterly basis. Unrealized losses on these securities are attributable to factors other than credit loss and therefore no ACL has been recorded. Further, the Company does not have the intent to sell these investment securities, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their cost basis. Gross unrealized loss on available-for-sale investment securities was $13.7 million at September 30, 2020.
Held-to-maturity investment securities increased by $429.5 million, primarily due to Agency CMBS net purchase activity partially offset by net principal paydowns for Agency MBS. The tax-equivalent yield in the portfolio was 2.77% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 3.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Held-to-maturity investment securities are evaluated for credit losses on a quarterly basis under CECL. The ACL on investment securities held-to-maturity was $306 thousand at September 30, 2020. Gross unrealized loss on held-to-maturity investment securities was $966 thousand at September 30, 2020.

(1)The change in balances is primarily a result of deferred fees associated with PPP loan activity.
Total commercial non-mortgage and asset-based loans were $8.1 billion at September 30, 2020, an increase of $1.7 billion from December 31, 2019. The net increase is primarily related to PPP loan originations of $1.4 billion.
Commercial real estate loans were $6.3 billion at September 30, 2020, an increase of $357.8 million from December 31, 2019. The increase is a result of originations of $868.2 million, partially offset by loan payments.
Equipment financing was $593.7 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of $60.6 million from December 31, 2019. The increase is a result of originations of $192.4 million, partially offset by loan payments.
Residential loans were $4.9 billion at September 30, 2020, a decrease of $91.2 million from December 31, 2019. The net decrease is a result of higher prepayments, essentially offset by originations of $1.0 billion.
Total home equity and other consumer loans were $2.0 billion at September 30, 2020, a decrease of $187.8 million from December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to continued net principal paydowns within the home equity lines.
Credit Policies and Procedures
Webster Bank has credit policies and procedures in place designed to support lending activity within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. To assist management with its review, reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, non-performing loans, and potential problem loans are generated by loan reporting systems. The Company has implemented additional monitoring procedures in connection with COVID-19.
Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate and service its debt. Assessment of management is a critical element of the underwriting process and credit decision. Once it is determined that the borrower’s management possesses sound ethics and solid business acumen, current and projected cash flows are examined to determine the ability of the borrower to repay obligations as agreed. All transactions are appraised to determine market value. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed and may incorporate personal guarantees of the principals.
Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans, in addition to those specific to real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan, the market in which the property is located, and the tenants of the property securing the loan. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location, which reduces the Company's exposure to adverse economic events that may affect a particular market. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Management periodically utilizes third-party experts to provide insight and guidance about economic conditions and trends affecting its commercial real estate loan portfolio.
Consumer loans are subject to policies and procedures developed to manage the risk characteristics of the portfolio. Policies and procedures, coupled with relatively small individual loan amounts and predominately collateralized structures, spread across many different borrowers, minimize risk. Trend and outlook reports are reviewed by management on a regular basis, with policies and procedures modified, or developed, as needed. Underwriting factors for mortgage and home equity loans include the borrower’s Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score, the loan amount relative to property value, and the borrower’s debt to income level and are also influenced by regulatory requirements. Additionally, Webster Bank originates both qualified mortgage and non-qualified mortgage loans as defined by applicable Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) rules.

Loan Modifications
Webster works with customers to modify loan agreements when borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Webster will modify a loan to minimize the risk of loss and achieve the best possible outcome for both the borrower and the Company. Loan modifications can take various forms including payment deferral, rate reduction, covenant waiver, term extension, or other action. Depending on the nature of modification, it may, or may not, be accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR).
COVID-19 Payment Modification Activities
The Company has accommodated over 2,500 customers impacted by COVID-19 through payment-related deferrals. As of September 30, 2020, loan balances associated with these modifications, in their deferral period, totaled approximately $482 million. This balance includes all loans associated with a customer relationship where at least one loan has been modified or is in process of modification. A significant portion of the loan balances associated with these modifications would not be considered a TDR based on the nature of the modification. Certain other modifications that would otherwise be considered a TDR are subject to TDR accounting relief through the CARES Act and Interagency Statement. Included in the $482 million are $283 million of loan balances associated with the CARES Act and Interagency Statement as discussed below. The Company continues to actively monitor customer relationships associated with these modified loans. The impact of these modifications is reflected in our allowance for credit losses on loans and leases.
The CARES Act and Interagency Statement
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, financial institutions were provided relief from certain TDR accounting and disclosure requirements for qualifying loan modifications. Specifically, Section 4013 of the CARES Act provided temporary relief from certain GAAP requirements for modifications related to COVID-19. In addition, a group of banking regulatory agencies issued a revised interagency statement that offers practical expedients for evaluating whether COVID-19 loan modifications are TDRs.
As of September 30, 2020, loan balances, associated with loan modifications designated in connection with these relief provisions in their deferral period, totaled approximately $283 million. These modifications represent payment deferrals, generally three to six months in length. The decrease of $452 million from $735 million at June 30, 2020 is the result of borrowers exiting their payment deferral period. As of September 30, 2020, 97% of the loan balances that have exited their deferral period are contractually current. The Company will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of the loan modification program as the deferral periods end. For additional information on the accounting for loan modifications under Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the revised interagency statement refer to Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
A modified loan is considered a TDR when two conditions are met: (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties; and (ii) the modification constitutes a concession. Modified terms are dependent upon the financial position and needs of the individual borrower. The Company considers all aspects of the restructuring in determining whether a concession has been granted, including the debtor's ability to access market rate funds. In general, a concession exists when the modified terms of the loan are more attractive to the borrower than standard market terms. Common modifications include material changes in covenants, pricing, and forbearance. Loans for which the borrower has been discharged under Chapter 7 bankruptcy are considered collateral dependent TDRs and thus, impaired at the date of discharge and charged down to the fair value of collateral less cost to sell.
The Company’s policy is to place consumer loan TDRs, except those that were performing prior to TDR status, on non-accrual status for a minimum period of six months. Commercial TDRs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis for determination of accrual status. Loans qualify for return to accrual status once they have demonstrated performance with the restructured terms of the loan agreement for a minimum of six months. Generally, a TDR is classified and reported as a TDR for the remaining life of the loan. TDR classification may be removed if the loan was restructured under market conditions and the borrower demonstrates compliance with the modified terms for a minimum of six months. In the limited circumstance that a loan is removed from TDR classification, it is the Company’s policy to continue to base its measure of credit loss on the contractual terms specified by the loan agreement.

Asset Quality
The Company manages asset quality leveraging established risk tolerance levels through its underwriting standards, servicing, and portfolio management of loans and leases. Loans and leases, particularly where a heightened risk of loss has been identified, are regularly monitored to mitigate further deterioration which could potentially impact key measures of asset quality in future periods. Past due loans and leases, non-performing assets, and credit loss levels are considered to be key measures of asset quality.
The following table provides key asset quality ratios:

The ratios as calculated above, include the impact of PPP loans totaling $1.4 billion for which there was no allowance for credit losses recorded at September 30, 2020.
The economic environment and uncertainty related to the pandemic could result in severe deterioration of asset quality, particularly in sectors disproportionately impacted from COVID-19 and the related economic slowdown, such as retail, transportation, leisure, construction, restaurants, hotels, and oil. At September 30, 2020, commercial loans with exposure to these sectors totaled $2.4 billion, or approximately 11.0% of total loans.
Potential Problem Loans and Leases
Potential problem loans and leases are defined by management as certain loans and leases that, for:
the commercial portfolio are performing loans and leases that are classified as Substandard and have a well-defined weakness that could jeopardize the full repayment of the debt; and
the consumer portfolio are performing loans that are 60-89 days past due and accruing.
Potential problem loans and leases exclude loans and leases past due 90 days or more and accruing, non-accrual loans and leases, and troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). Certain loans with modifications related to COVID-19 are not reflected as potential problem loans and are not reported as TDRs due to relief provisions of the CARES Act and Interagency Statements as discussed elsewhere in this document. As there are many uncertainties related to the pandemic there is a risk that some of these modified loans may become potential problem loans.
Management monitors potential problem loans and leases due to a higher degree of risk associated with those loans and leases. The current expectation of lifetime losses is included in the ACL on loans and leases, however management cannot predict whether these potential problem loans and leases ultimately will become non-performing or result in a loss. The Company had potential problem loans and leases of $311.5 million at September 30, 2020 compared to $216.7 million at December 31, 2019.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted a new accounting standard which introduced the CECL impairment model that applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments including the Company’s loans, net investment in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, and held-to-maturity debt securities. CECL requires the measurement of expected credit losses over the life of the instrument to be recognized at purchase or origination, and also requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information including economic forecasts.
Methodology
The Company's policy for ACL on loans and leases is considered a critical accounting policy. The ACL on loans and leases is a contra-asset account that offsets the amortized cost basis of loans and leases for the credit losses expected to occur over the life of the asset. Executive management reviews and advises on the adequacy of the reserve which is maintained at a level management deems sufficient to cover expected losses within the loan and lease portfolios.
The ACL on loans and leases is determined using the CECL model which requires recognition of expected lifetime credit losses at the purchase or origination of an asset. Expected losses are determined through pooled, collective assessment of loans and leases with similar risk characteristics. If the risk characteristics of a loan or lease change and no longer match that of the collective assessment pool it is removed and individually assessed for credit impairment. Management applies significant judgments and assumptions that influence the loss estimate and ACL on loan and lease balances.
Collectively Assessed Loans and Leases. Collectively assessed loans and leases are segmented based on the commercial and consumer portfolios and expected losses are determined using a Probability of Default/Loss Given Default/Exposure at Default (PD/LGD/EAD) framework. Expected credit losses are calculated as the product of the probability of a loan defaulting, expected loss given the occurrence of a default, and the current exposure of a loan at default. Summing the product across loans and across time yields the lifetime expected credit losses for a given portfolio. The Company’s PD and LGD calculations are predictive models that measure the current risk profile of the loan pools using forecasts of future macroeconomic conditions, historical loss information, and credit risk ratings. The Company’s models incorporate a single economic forecast scenario and macroeconomic assumptions over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. After the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company reverts on a straight-line basis to its historical loss rates, evaluated over the historical observation period, for the remaining life of the loans and leases. The calculation of exposure at default follows an iterative process to determine the expected remaining principal balance of a loan based on historical paydown rates for loans of similar segment within the same portfolio. The calculation of portfolio exposure in future quarters incorporates expected losses and principal paydown (PPD). PPD is the combination of contractual repayment and prepayment. A portion of the collective ACL is comprised of qualitative adjustments for risk characteristics which are not reflected or captured in the quantitative models but are likely to impact the measurement of estimated credit losses.

Macroeconomic variables are used as inputs to the loss models and are selected based on the correlation of the variables to credit losses for each class of financing receivable as follows: the commercial model uses unemployment, gross domestic product (GDP), and retail sales; the residential model uses the Case Shiller Home Price Index; home equity loan and line of credit models use interest rate spreads between U.S. Treasuries and corporate bonds and the home equity loan model also uses the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) home price index; personal loan and credit line models use the Case Shiller and FHFA home price indices. Forecasted economic scenarios are sourced from a third party. Data from the baseline forecast scenario is used as the input to the modeled loss calculation.
Changes in forecasts of macroeconomic variables will impact expectations of lifetime credit losses calculated by the loss models. However, the impact of changes in macroeconomic forecasts may be different for each portfolio and will reflect the credit quality and nature of the underlying assets at that time. To further refine the expected loss estimate, qualitative factors are applied in the loss calculation, including credit concentration, credit quality trends, the quality of internal loan reviews, the nature and volume of portfolio growth, staffing levels, underwriting exceptions, and economic considerations not reflected in the base loss model. Management may apply additional qualitative adjustments to reflect their assessment of other relevant facts and circumstances that impact expected credit losses.
These economic and qualitative inputs are used to forecast expected losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. The Company uses a 2-year reasonable and supportable forecast period, after which, loss rates revert to historical loss rates on a linear basis over a 1-year period. Historical loss rates are based on approximately 10 years of recently available data and are updated annually.
In addition to the above considerations, the collective assessment calculation includes expectations of prepayments and expected recoveries. Extensions, renewals, and modifications are not included in the collective assessment; however, if there is a reasonable expectation of a TDR, the loan is removed from the collective assessment pool and is individually assessed.
23


Individually Assessed Loans and Leases. When loans and leases no longer match the risk characteristics of the collective assessment pool, they are removed from the collectively assessed population and individually assessed for credit losses. Generally, all non-accrual loans, TDRs, potential TDRs, loans with a charge-off, and collateral dependent loans when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, are individually assessed.
Individual assessment for collateral dependent commercial loans facing financial difficulty is based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated cost to sell, or the present value of the expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral, or a scenario weighted approach of both of these methods. If a loan is not collateral dependent, the individual assessment is based on a discounted cash flow approach.
For collateral dependent commercial loans and leases, Webster's impairment process requires the Company to determine the fair value of the collateral by obtaining a third-party appraisal or asset valuation, an interim valuation analysis, blue book reference, or other internal methods. Fair value of the collateral for commercial loans is reevaluated quarterly. Whenever the Company has a third-party real estate appraisal performed by independent licensed appraisers, a licensed in-house appraisal officer or qualified individual reviews these appraisals for compliance with the Financial Institutions Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
Individual assessments for residential and home equity loans are based on a discounted cash flow approach or the fair value of collateral less the estimated costs to sell. Other consumer loans are individually assessed using a loss factor approach based on historical loss rates. For residential and consumer collateral dependent loans, a third-party appraisal is obtained upon loan default. Fair value of the collateral for residential and consumer collateral dependent loans is reevaluated every six months, by either obtaining a new appraisal or other internal valuation method. Fair value is also reassessed, with any excess amount charged off, for residential and home equity loans that reach 180 days past due per Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council guidelines.
A fair value shortfall relative to the amortized cost balance is reflected as an impairment reserve within the ACL on loans and leases. Subsequent to an appraisal or other fair value estimate, should reliable information come to management's attention that the value has declined further, additional impairment may be recorded to reflect the particular situation, thereby increasing the ACL on loans and leases. Any individually assessed loan for which no specific valuation allowance was necessary at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is the result of either sufficient cash flow or sufficient collateral coverage relative to the amortized cost. If the credit quality subsequently improves the allowance is reversed up to a maximum of the previously recorded credit losses.
The ACL on loans and leases represents the total of estimated losses calculated through collective and individual assessments. To assist management with its review, reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, non-performing loans, and potential problem loans are generated by loan reporting systems. While actual future conditions and losses realized may vary significantly from present judgments and assumptions, management believes the ACL on loans and leases is adequate as of September 30, 2020.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Balances and Ratios
The Company adopted the CECL accounting standard on January 1, 2020, with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded upon adoption which increased the ACL on loans and leases by $57.6 million. Upon adoption, the allowance reflects expected lifetime credit losses of the portfolio. The Company's ACL calculation reflects management's best estimate of expected lifetime credit losses as of period end, including current forecasts of macro-economic activity and borrower risk ratings.
At September 30, 2020 the ACL on loans and leases was $369.8 million compared to $209.1 million at December 31, 2019. The increase of $160.7 million in the reserve at September 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 is primarily due to the adoption of CECL and the impact of COVID-19. ACL on loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases, also known as the reserve coverage, increased to 1.69% at September 30, 2020 from 1.04% at December 31, 2019, reflecting lifetime credit losses under CECL and the impact of COVID-19. ACL on loans and leases as a percentage of non-performing loans and leases increased to 227.39% at September 30, 2020 from 138.56% at December 31, 2019.
For information on the impact of adoption of the CECL model, refer to Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.

Sources of Funds and Liquidity
Sources of Funds. The primary source of Webster Bank’s cash flow for use in lending and meeting its general operational needs is deposits. Operating activities, such as loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments, and other investment securities sale proceeds and maturities, also provide cash flows. While scheduled loan and investment securities repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, loan and investment securities prepayments and deposit inflows are influenced by prevailing interest rates and local economic conditions and are inherently uncertain. Additional sources of funds are provided by FHLB advances or other borrowings.
Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock. Webster Bank is a member of the FHLB System, which consists of eleven district Federal Home Loan Banks, each subject to the supervision and regulation of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. An activity-based capital stock investment in the FHLB of Boston is required in order for Webster Bank to access advances and other extensions of credit for sources of funds and liquidity purposes. The FHLB capital stock investment is restricted in that there is no market for it, and it can only be redeemed by the FHLB. Webster Bank held FHLB Boston capital stock of $29.6 million at September 30, 2020 compared to $89.3 million at December 31, 2019 for its membership and for outstanding advances and other extensions of credit. On August 4, 2020, the FHLB paid a quarterly cash dividend equal to an annual yield of 4.12%.
Additionally, Webster Bank is required to hold FRB of Boston stock equal to 6% of its capital and surplus of which 50% is paid. The remaining 50% is subject to call when deemed necessary by the Federal Reserve System. The FRB capital stock investment is restricted in that there is no market for it, and it can only be redeemed by the FRB. Webster Bank held $60.0 million and $59.8 million of FRB capital stock at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. On June 30, 2020, the FRB paid a semi-annual dividend equal to an annual yield of 0.832%.
Deposits. Webster Bank offers a wide variety of deposit products for checking and savings (including: ATM and debit card use, direct deposit, ACH payments, combined statements, mobile banking services, internet-based banking, bank by mail, as well as overdraft protection via line of credit or transfer from another deposit account) designed to meet the transactional, savings, and investment needs for both consumer and business customers throughout its primary market area. Webster Bank manages the flow of funds in its deposit accounts and provides a variety of accounts and rates consistent with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) regulations. Webster Bank’s Retail Pricing Committee and its Commercial and Institutional Loan and Liability Pricing Committee meet regularly to determine pricing and marketing initiatives.
Total deposits were $26.9 billion at September 30, 2020 compared to $23.3 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase is predominately related to an increase in transactional accounts of $3.6 billion, primarily due to customer PPP loan funding pending utilization and other stimulus effects, and HSAs increased $560.1 million due to account and balance growth. See Note 8: Deposits in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for additional information.
Borrowings. Borrowings primarily consist of FHLB advances which are utilized as a source of funding for liquidity and interest rate risk management purposes. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, FHLB advances totaled $0.4 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. Webster Bank had additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB of approximately $4.5 billion and $2.9 billion at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Bank also had additional borrowing capacity at the FRB of approximately $1.3 billion and $0.9 billion at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Unpledged investment securities of $4.7 billion at September 30, 2020 could have been used to increase borrowing capacity by approximately $4.4 billion at the FHLB or $4.5 billion at the FRB, or alternatively, could have been used for collateral on borrowings such as repurchase agreements.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, whereby securities are delivered to counterparties under an agreement to repurchase the securities at a fixed price in the future are also utilized as a source of funding. Webster Bank may also utilize term and overnight Fed funds to meet short-term liquidity needs. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, collectively these borrowings totaled $1.3 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.
Long-term debt, which consists of senior fixed-rate notes maturing in 2024 and 2029, and junior subordinated notes maturing in 2033 totaled $0.6 billion and $0.5 billion at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company terminated the receive fixed/pay floating swaps on $0.3 billion of senior fixed-rate notes in March 2020.
Total borrowed funds were $2.3 billion at September 30, 2020 compared to $3.5 billion at December 31, 2019. Borrowings represented 7.0% and 11.6% of total assets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The decrease is due to deposit growth exceeding loan and securities growth. For additional information, see Note 9: Borrowings in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.
26


Liquidity. Webster meets its cash flow requirements at an efficient cost under various operating environments through proactive liquidity management at both the Holding Company and Webster Bank. Liquidity comes from a variety of cash flow sources such as operating activities, including principal and interest payments on loans and securities, or financing activities, including unpledged investment securities, which can be sold or utilized to secure funding, and new deposits. Webster is committed to maintaining a strong, increasing base of core deposits, consisting of demand, checking, savings, health savings, and money market accounts, to support growth in its loan and lease portfolio. Liquidity is reviewed and managed in order to maintain stable, cost effective funding to promote overall balance sheet strength.
Holding Company Liquidity. The primary source of liquidity at the Holding Company is dividends from Webster Bank. Webster Bank did not pay a dividend to the Holding Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. To a lesser extent, public offerings, investment income, and net proceeds from investment sales may provide additional liquidity. The main uses of liquidity are the payment of principal and interest to holders of senior notes and junior subordinated debt, the payment of dividends to preferred and common shareholders, repurchases of its common stock, and purchases of investment securities. There are certain restrictions on the payment of dividends by Webster Bank to the Holding Company, which are described in the section captioned "Supervision and Regulation" in Item 1 of Webster’s 2019 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2020, $315.3 million of retained earnings are available for the payment of dividends by Webster Bank to the Holding Company.
The Company has a common stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, with $123.4 million of remaining repurchase authority at September 30, 2020. In addition, Webster periodically acquires common shares outside of the repurchase program related to stock compensation plan activity. The Company records the purchase of shares of common stock at cost based on the settlement date for these transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a total of 2,182,977 shares of common stock were repurchased for approximately $79.9 million, of which 2,104,195 shares were purchased under the common stock repurchase program at a cost of approximately $76.6 million, and 78,782 shares were purchased, at market prices, for a cost of approximately $3.4 million, relating to stock compensation plan activity. Given the current economic environment, the Company does not expect to continue repurchases under the common stock repurchase program until further notice.
The Holding Company has sufficient cash on hand to cover expected funding requirements. The liquidity position of the Company is continuously monitored, and adjustments are made to balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations. In addition, management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which, if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Webster Bank Liquidity. Webster Bank's primary source of funding is core deposits. The primary use of this funding is for loan funding. Including time deposits, Webster Bank had a loan to total deposit ratio of 81.2% and 85.9% at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, well positioned within the northeast region and the Company's peer group.
Webster Bank is required by OCC regulations to maintain liquidity sufficient to ensure safe and sound operations. Whether liquidity is adequate, as assessed by the OCC, depends on such factors as the overall asset/liability structure, market conditions, competition, and the nature of the institution’s deposit and loan customers. Webster Bank exceeded all regulatory liquidity requirements as of September 30, 2020. Webster Bank's latest OCC Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) rating was Outstanding. The Company has a detailed liquidity contingency plan designed to respond to liquidity concerns in a prompt and comprehensive manner. The plan is designed to provide early detection of potential problems and details specific actions required to address liquidity stress scenarios.
Applicable OCC regulations require Webster Bank, as a commercial bank, to satisfy certain minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements. As an OCC regulated commercial institution, it is also subject to a minimum tangible capital requirement. As of September 30, 2020, Webster Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital requirements and exceeded the FDIC requirements for a well-capitalized institution. See Note 11: Regulatory Matters in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for a further discussion of regulatory requirements applicable to the Holding Company and Webster Bank.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Webster engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded in the financial statements or are recorded in amounts that differ from the notional amounts. Such transactions are utilized in the normal course of business, for general corporate purposes or for customer financing needs. Corporate purpose transactions are structured to manage credit, interest rate, and liquidity risks, or to optimize capital. Customer transactions are structured to manage their funding requirements or facilitate certain trade arrangements. These transactions give rise to, in varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. For additional information, refer to Note 2: Variable Interest Entities and Note 18: Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.

Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk
An effective asset/liability management process must balance the risks and rewards from both short and long-term interest rate risks in determining management strategy and action. To facilitate and manage this process, interest rate sensitivity is monitored on an ongoing basis by the Company's ALCO. The impact has not been calculated for scenarios which would require negative interest rates.
The following table summarizes the estimated impact that gradual parallel changes in interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points might have on net interest income over a twelve month period, starting September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for each subsequent twelve month period as compared to NII assuming no change in interest rates:
NII-200bp-100bp+100bp+200bp
September 30, 2020n/an/a1.9%4.5%
December 31, 2019n/a(4.7)%2.7%4.8%
The following table summarizes the estimated impact that gradual parallel changes in interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points might have on PPNR over a twelve month period, starting September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for each subsequent twelve month period as compared to PPNR assuming no change in interest rates:
PPNR-200bp-100bp+100bp+200bp
September 30, 2020n/an/a3.4%8.2%
December 31, 2019n/a(7.7)%4.1%7.1%
Interest rates are assumed to change up or down in a parallel fashion, and NII and PPNR results in each scenario are compared to a flat rate scenario as a base. The flat rate scenario holds the end of period yield curve constant over a twelve month forecast horizon. The flat rate scenario as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 assumed a Fed Funds rate of 0.25% and 1.75%, respectively. Asset sensitivity for both NII and PPNR was lower as of September 30, 2020 when compared to December 31, 2019, for the majority of scenarios. This lower asset sensitivity is primarily due to the reduction of the short-term market rates since December 31, 2019 which resulted in approximately $2.7 billion in loans at their floors as of September 30, 2020. When interest rates start to rise, not all of these loans will immediately lift off their floors. Due to the lower rate environment as of September 30, 2020 we do not run standard scenarios with negative interest rate assumptions to model the down rate scenarios that were modeled as of December 31, 2019.
Webster can also hold futures, options, and forward foreign currency contracts to minimize the price volatility of certain assets and liabilities. Changes in the market value of these positions are recognized in earnings.
The following table summarizes the estimated impact that yield curve twists or immediate non-parallel changes in interest rates might have on NII for the subsequent twelve month period starting September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
Short End of the Yield CurveLong End of the Yield Curve
NII-100bp-50bp+50bp+100bp-100bp-50bp+50bp+100bp

December 31, 2019(5.1)%(2.5)%1.0 %2.1 %(4.7)%(2.2)%1.7 %2.9 %
The following table summarizes the estimated impact that immediate non-parallel changes in interest rates might have on PPNR for the subsequent twelve month period starting September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
Short End of the Yield CurveLong End of the Yield Curve

December 31, 2019(7.9)%(3.8)%1.1%2.4%(8.1)%(3.9)%3.0%5.1%
The non-parallel scenarios are modeled with the short end of the yield curve moving up or down 50 and 100 basis points, while the long end of the yield curve remains unchanged and vice versa. The short end of the yield curve is defined as terms of less than eighteen months, and the long end as terms of greater than eighteen months. The results above reflect the annualized impact of immediate rate changes.
Sensitivity to the short end of the yield curve for NII and PPNR decreased as of September 30, 2020 when compared to December 31, 2019 due to floors on loans. As rates rise, not all loans will immediately lift off their floors. NII and PPNR were more sensitive to changes in the long end of the yield curve as of September 30, 2020 when compared to December 31, 2019 due to increased forecast prepayment speeds resulting from decreases in the long end of the yield curve which shortens asset duration for MBS and residential mortgages. Due to the lower rate environment as of September 30, 2020 we do not run standard scenarios with negative interest rate assumptions to model the down rate scenarios that were modeled as of December 31, 2019.

Changes in economic value can be best described using duration. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of financial instruments for small changes in interest rates. For fixed-rate instruments, it can also be thought of as the weighted-average expected time to receive future cash flows. For floating-rate instruments, it can be thought of as the weighted-average expected time until the next rate reset. The longer the duration, the greater the price sensitivity for given changes in interest rates. Floating-rate instruments may have durations as short as one day and, therefore, have very little price sensitivity due to changes in interest rates. Increases in interest rates typically reduce the value of fixed-rate assets as future discounted cash flows are worth less at higher discount rates. A liability's value decreases for the same reason in a rising rate environment. A reduction in value of a liability is a benefit to Webster.
Duration gap is the difference between the duration of assets and the duration of liabilities. A duration gap near zero implies that the balance sheet is matched and would exhibit no change in estimated economic value for a small change in interest rates. Webster's duration gap was negative 1.5 years at September 30, 2020 and negative 0.8 years at December 31, 2019. A negative duration gap implies that liabilities are longer than assets and, therefore, they have more price sensitivity than assets and will reset their interest rates slower than assets. Consequently, Webster's net estimated economic value would generally be expected to increase when interest rates rise as the benefit of the decreased value of liabilities would more than offset the decreased value of assets. The opposite would generally be expected to occur when interest rates fall. Earnings would also generally be expected to increase when interest rates rise and decrease when interest rates fall over the longer term absent the effects of new business booked in the future. As of September 30, 2020, long-term rates have fallen by over 100 basis points when compared to December 31, 2019. This lower starting point shortens asset duration by increasing residential loan and MBS prepayment speeds.
These estimates assume that management does not take any additional action to mitigate any positive or negative effects from changing interest rates. The earnings and economic values estimates are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ. Management believes that Webster's interest rate risk position at September 30, 2020 represents a reasonable level of risk given the current interest rate outlook. Management, as always, is prepared to take additional action in the event that interest rates do change rapidly.
For a detailed description of the Company's asset/liability management process, refer to the section captioned "Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk" in Item 7. Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results principally in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of a banking institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on Webster's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services.

Use of Estimates
Economic, strategic, and market assumptions are key factors in developing estimates. Declining economic activity and volatile market conditions related to COVID-19, as well as the potential impact of our strategic initiatives, could impact our accounting estimates, particularly those described below. Actual results could differ significantly from our assumptions resulting in material changes for impacted accounting estimates in future periods.
Allowance for credit losses. Our credit loss allowances under the CECL model reflect our estimate of lifetime credit losses on loans and leases, held-to-maturity debt securities, and unfunded commitments. In addition, when the amortized cost of an available-for-sale debt security exceeds its fair value, an expected credit loss is measured using a discounted cash flow approach recognized through our credit loss allowances. The recorded allowances may be insufficient if the impact of COVID-19 is prolonged resulting in decreases in housing activity, employment levels, and economic activity beyond current estimated levels. Refer to the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis within this document for further discussion on the methodology for calculating the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, the most material of our allowances.
Deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2020, we had $68.1 million of DTAs attributable to state and local tax net operating loss (NOL) and credit carryforwards available to offset taxable income and reduce our income taxes payable in future periods. The NOL and credit carryforwards are subject to expiration if they are not used within certain periods and our $38.2 million valuation allowance represents the portion of the $68.1 million that has been estimated to expire unused between the years 2025 and 2031. Of the $29.9 million of net DTAs, (net of the $38.2 million valuation allowance), $5.9 million is subject to expiration over the next four years, including $5.8 million in 2024, and $24.0 million is subject to expiration between 2025 and 2032. We regularly assess all available positive and negative evidence to determine the appropriate level of our valuation allowance. To help determine whether the level of our valuation allowance is appropriate we must forecast our expected future results of operations. The continued economic decline and market volatility as a result of COVID-19 has increased the uncertainty inherent in such expectations, and in the realizability of our DTAs. At this time, we consider it more-likely-than-not that we will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize our net DTAs. However, it is possible that some or all of our NOL or credit carryforwards could expire unused if the economic decline were to be prolonged and negatively affect our current expectation that sufficient taxable income will more-likely-than-not be generated in future periods over the longer term. Or, as a result of market conditions and interest-rate forecasts, it is possible we could utilize more NOL or credit carryforwards and realize more net DTAs than has been estimated. If we were to conclude that a significant portion of our net DTAs is not more-likely-than-not to be realized, the associated valuation allowance would increase, the recognition of which may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
Goodwill. The net carrying amount of goodwill at September 30, 2020 was $538.4 million, comprised of $516.6 million in Community Banking and $21.8 million in HSA Bank. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually, but more frequently when there are indications that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. We have assessed whether current circumstances indicate that the fair value of any of our reporting units is less than carrying value as of September 30, 2020. Our assessment considered current macro-economic conditions, fiscal and monetary policy actions taken to stabilize the economy, industry and market developments, expected future cash flows of the reporting units, forecasted growth rates, performance of the Company's stock, and other relevant considerations. Based on our assessment, it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. This assessment included assumptions that are rapidly changing and are increasingly difficult to predict due to the pandemic. Our next annual goodwill impairment evaluation will be performed as of November 30, 2020. A significant decline in our expected future cash flows, a continuing period of market disruption, market capitalization to book value deterioration, or slower growth rates could require us to record a goodwill impairment charge which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Right-of-use (ROU) lease assets. For leases where we are the lessee, an ROU lease asset is recorded within property, plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2020, ROU lease assets were $146.6 million and represent the present value of future minimum lease payments adjusted for the effect of uneven lease payments. ROU lease assets are tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our ROU lease assets primarily represent real estate including retail banking center locations and office space. If the impact of COVID-19 continues to cause any of those locations to be underutilized over an extended period of time, we may be required to write-down the carrying value. Recording an impairment of these assets may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and, to a lesser effect, regulatory capital ratios.
Investments in equity securities. Our equity investments include tax credit finance investments, Small Business Investment Companies, and other strategic direct investments. As of September 30, 2020, equity investments represented $70.5 million recorded within accrued interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Equity investments are subject to various impairment standards depending on the nature of the investment. If our equity investments experience significant losses or we are otherwise required to record an impairment to these investments, there may be a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and, to a lesser effect, regulatory capital ratios.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Modifications to significant accounting policies, if made during the year, are described in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report. The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP and practices generally applicable to the financial services industry requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management has identified the Company's most critical accounting policies as:
allowance for credit losses on loans and leases; and
realizability of deferred tax assets.
These particular accounting policies are considered most critical in that they are important to the Company’s financial condition and results, and they require management’s subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Accounting policies and estimates, including the nature of the estimates and types of assumptions used, are described throughout Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Webster's 2019 Form 10-K, and Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this report.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates
Refer to Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for a summary of recently issued ASUs and the expected impact on the Company's financial statements.
Supervision and Regulation
The following information is intended to update, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained under the caption “Supervision and Regulation” in both the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the supplemental disclosure related thereto contained its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed since then.
CARES Act
The CARES Act, signed into law by the President on March 27, 2020, provided approximately $2.2 trillion in direct economic relief in response to the public health and economic impacts of COVID-19. Many of the CARES Act’s programs are dependent upon the direct involvement of U.S. financial institutions like the Company and Webster Bank. These programs have been implemented through rules and guidance adopted by federal departments and agencies, including the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and other federal bank regulatory authorities, including those with direct supervisory jurisdiction over the Company and Webster Bank. Furthermore, as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, federal regulatory authorities continue to issue additional guidance with respect to the implementation, lifecycle, and eligibility requirements for the various CARES Act programs as well as industry-specific recovery procedures for COVID-19. In addition, it is possible that Congress will enact supplementary COVID-19 response legislation, including new bills comparable in scope to the CARES Act, prior to the end of 2020.
Set forth below is a brief overview of select provisions of the CARES Act and other regulations and supervisory guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic that are applicable to the operations and activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Webster Bank. The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the CARES Act and the statutes, regulations, and policies described herein. Future legislation and/or amendments to the provisions of the CARES Act or changes to any of the statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries could have a material effect on the Company. Such legislation and related regulations and supervisory guidance will be implemented over time and will remain subject to review by Congress and the implementing regulations issued by federal regulatory authorities. The Company continues to assess the impact of the CARES Act, the potential impact of new COVID-19 legislation, and other statutes, regulations, and supervisory guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Paycheck Protection Program. The CARES Act amended the SBA’s loan program, in which Webster Bank participates, to create a guaranteed, unsecured loan program, the PPP, to fund operational costs of eligible businesses, organizations and self-employed persons during COVID-19. On June 5, 2020, the President signed the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act into law, which among other things, gave borrowers additional time and flexibility to use PPP loan proceeds. Shortly thereafter, and due to the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the President signed additional legislation authorizing the SBA to resume accepting PPP applications on July 6, 2020 and extending the PPP application deadline to August 8, 2020. It is anticipated that additional revisions to the SBA’s interim final rules on forgiveness and loan review procedures will be forthcoming to address these and related changes. As a participating lender in the PPP, Webster Bank continues to monitor legislative, regulatory, and supervisory developments related thereto.
31


Troubled Debt Restructuring and Loan Modifications for Affected Borrowers. The CARES Act permits banks to suspend requirements under GAAP for loan modifications to borrowers affected by COVID-19 that would otherwise be characterized as TDRs and suspend any determination related thereto if (i) the loan modification is made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of December 31, 2020 or 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 emergency declaration and (ii) the applicable loan was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. Federal bank regulatory authorities also issued guidance to encourage banks to make loan modifications for borrowers affected by COVID-19 and to assure banks that they will not be criticized by examiners for doing so. The Company is applying this guidance to qualifying loan modifications. For additional information, see Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Federal Reserve Programs and Other Recent Initiatives
Main Street Lending Program. The CARES Act encouraged the Federal Reserve, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury, to establish or implement various programs to help midsize businesses, nonprofits, and municipalities. On April 9, 2020, the Federal Reserve proposed the creation of the MSLP to implement certain of these recommendations. On June 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston opened the MSLP for lender registration. The MSLP supports lending to small and medium-sized businesses that were in sound financial condition before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The MSLP operates through five facilities: the Main Street New Loan Facility, the Main Street Priority Loan Facility, the Main Street Expanded Loan Facility, the Nonprofit Organization New Loan Facility, and the Nonprofit Organization Expanded Loan Facility. FRB Boston maintains the necessary legal forms and agreements for eligible borrowers and lenders to participate in these facilities, and is working to refine the MSLP’s operational infrastructure and facilities. The Bank has registered as a lender under the MSLP and continues to monitor developments related thereto.
Temporary Regulatory Capital Relief related to Impact of CECL. Concurrent with enactment of the CARES Act, the federal bank regulatory authorities issued an interim final rule that delays the estimated impact on regulatory capital resulting from the adoption of CECL. The interim final rule provides banking organizations that implement CECL before the end of 2020 the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital relative to regulatory capital determined under the prior incurred loss methodology, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay. On August 26, 2020, the federal banking agencies issued a final rule confirming the relief provided under the interim final rule and expanding the pool of eligible institutions to include any institution that adopts CECL in 2020. The Company has elected this capital relief and delayed the regulatory capital impact of adopting CECL during the first quarter of 2020. As a result, capital ratios and amounts as of September 30, 2020 exclude the impact of the increased allowance for credit losses on loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, and unfunded loan commitments attributed to the adoption of CECL, adjusted for an approximation of the after-tax provision for credit losses attributable to CECL relative to the incurred loss methodology during the deferral period.
Supervisory Developments. On June 25, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced that it would take several actions to ensure large banks remain resilient despite the ongoing economic impact of COVID-19. Specifically, in the third quarter, the Federal Reserve will require large banks to preserve capital by suspending share repurchases, capping dividend payments, and allowing dividends according to a formula based on recent income. The Company and Webster Bank continue to monitor these developments to assess what effect, if any, they will have, but does not anticipate any material impact at this time.
Modification of the Volcker Rule. Also on June 25, 2020, the Federal Reserve, along with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the SEC issued a final rule modifying the Volcker Rule’s prohibition on banking entities investing in or sponsoring hedge funds or private equity funds, commonly known as covered funds. The Volcker Rule generally prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading and from acquiring or retaining ownership interests in, sponsoring or having certain relationships with a hedge fund or private equity fund. The final rule modifies three areas of the Volcker Rule by: (i) streamlining the covered funds portion of the rule; (ii) addressing the extraterritorial treatment of certain foreign funds; and (iii) permitting banking entities to offer financial services and engage in other activities that do not raise concerns that the Volcker Rule was intended to address. The new rule became effective October 1, 2020. The Company and Webster Bank do not anticipate any material impact from the modified Volcker Rule at this time.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Webster Financial Corporation (the Holding Company) is a bank holding company and financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act, incorporated under the laws of Delaware in 1986 and headquartered in Waterbury, Connecticut. Webster Bank, National Association (Webster Bank) is the principal consolidated subsidiary of Webster Financial Corporation. Webster Bank and its HSA Bank division deliver a wide range of banking, investment, and financial services to individuals, families, and businesses.

Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company that materially affect its financial statements conform with U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, and related Notes, for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from those described within that Form 10-K, except as described within the Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates section of this note.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications had an immaterial effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Loan Modifications Under the CARES Act and Interagency Statement
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) Section 4013, and the Revised Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act, which provides relief from certain requirements under GAAP, was signed into law. Section 4013 of the CARES Act gives entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) under ASC 310-40 in certain situations.
In addition, on April 7, 2020, certain regulatory banking agencies issued an interagency statement that offers practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are TDRs. The interagency statement was originally issued on March 22, 2020, but was revised to address the relationship between their original TDR guidance and the guidance in Section 4013 of the CARES Act.
To qualify for TDR accounting and disclosure relief under the CARES Act, the applicable loan must not have been more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019, and the modification must be executed during the period beginning on March 1, 2020, and ending on the earlier of December 31, 2020, or the date that is 60 days after the termination date of the national emergency declared by the president on March 13, 2020, under the National Emergencies Act related to the outbreak of COVID-19. The CARES Act applies to modifications made as a result of COVID-19 including: forbearance agreements, interest rate modifications, repayment plans, and other arrangements to defer or delay payment of principal or interest.
The interagency statement does not require the modification to be completed within a certain time period if it is related to COVID-19 and the loan was not more than 30 days past due as of the date of the Company’s implementation of its modification programs. Moreover, the interagency statement applies to short-term modifications including payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other insignificant payment delays as a result of COVID-19.
39


The Company continues to apply section 4013 of the CARES Act and the interagency statement in connection with applicable modifications. For modifications that qualify under either the CARES Act or the interagency statement, TDR accounting and reporting is suspended through the period of the modification; however, the Company will continue to apply its existing non-accrual policies including consideration of the loan's past due status which is determined on the basis of the contractual terms of the loan. Once a loan has been contractually modified, the past due status is generally based on the updated terms including payment deferrals.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates
Effective January 1, 2020, the following new accounting guidance was adopted by the Company:
ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.
The Update provides optional expedients and exceptions available to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. In addition to expedients for contract modifications, the Update allows for a one-time transfer or sale of held-to-maturity securities that reference an eligible rate. The Company will consider this one-time securities transfer along with other expedients available under the Update as the Company proceeds with reference rate reform activities. For additional information on reference rate reform refer to the risk factors previously disclosed in Webster's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Update became effective during the first quarter 2020, and applies to contract modifications and amendments made as of the beginning of the reporting period including the Update issuance date, March 12, 2020, and applies through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.
The Update amends guidance on credit losses, hedge accounting, and recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The changes provide clarifications and codification improvements in relation to recently issued accounting updates. The amendments to the guidance on credit losses are considered in the paragraphs below related to our adoption of ASU 2016-13, and has been adopted concurrently with those Updates.
The Company adopted the Update during the first quarter 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.
The Update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The updated guidance also requires an entity to amortize the capitalized implementation costs as an expense over the term of the hosting arrangement and to present in the same income statement line item as the fees associated with the hosting arrangement.
The Company adopted the Update during the first quarter 2020 on a prospective basis to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.
The Update modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The updated guidance no longer requires entities to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, it requires public companies to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (OCI) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements.
The Company adopted the Update during the first quarter 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
40


ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.
The Update simplifies quantitative goodwill impairment testing by requiring entities to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of a reporting unit, up to but not exceeding the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
The Update changes current guidance by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment analysis which involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination upon acquisition. Entities still have the option to first perform a qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.
The Company adopted the Update during the first quarter 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent ASUs issued to clarify this Topic.
The Updates replace the existing incurred loss approach for recognizing credit losses with a new credit loss methodology known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL methodology requires earlier recognition of credit losses using a lifetime credit loss measurement approach for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The Updates also revised the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities, which is outside the scope of the CECL methodology.
The CECL accounting model applies to all assets measured at amortized cost including loans, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, and held-to-maturity debt securities. CECL requires recognition of credit losses at purchase or origination using a lifetime credit loss measurement approach. The allowance for credit losses is based on the composition, characteristics, and credit quality of the loan and securities portfolios as of the reporting date and includes consideration of current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts at that date. The CECL methodology also requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine the allowance for credit losses including economic forecasts.
Allowance for credit losses on loans and leases. Under CECL the Company determines its allowance for credit losses on loans and leases collectively, using pools of assets with similar risk characteristics. Loans that no longer match the risk profile of the pool are individually assessed for credit losses. Collective assessments are performed based on two portfolio segments, commercial loans and leases, and consumer loans. Expected losses within the commercial and consumer portfolios are collectively assessed using PD/LGD/EAD framework based on the portfolio or class of financing receivable.
The Company’s lifetime credit loss models are based on historical data and incorporate forecasts of macroeconomic variables, qualitative factors, expected prepayments and recoveries.
Macroeconomic variables are selected based on the correlation of the variables to credit losses for each class of financing receivable as follows: the commercial model uses unemployment, gross domestic product (GDP), and retail sales; the residential model uses the Case Shiller Home Price Index; home equity loan and line of credit models use interest rate spreads between U.S. Treasuries and corporate bonds and the home equity loan model also uses the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) home price index; personal loan and credit line models use the Case Shiller and FHFA home price indices. Forecasted economic scenarios are sourced from a third party. Data from the baseline forecast scenario is used in the modeled loss calculation. Qualitative factors are applied to further refine the expected loss calculation for each portfolio considering factors such as credit concentration, credit quality trends, the quality of internal loan reviews, the nature and volume of portfolio growth, staffing levels, underwriting exceptions, and economic considerations not reflected in the base loss model. Other qualitative adjustments may be applied for relevant facts and circumstances expected to impact credit losses.
A two year reasonable and supportable forecast period is used for all loan and lease portfolios, subsequently, the expected loss models revert to historical loss rates on a linear basis over a one year period. Historical loss rates are based on approximately 10 years of recently available data and are updated annually.
When the risk characteristics of a loan no longer match the characteristics of the collective pool, the loan is removed from the pool and individually assessed for credit losses. Generally, all non-accrual loans, TDRs, potential TDRs, loans with a charge-off, and collateral dependent loans are individually assessed.
The individual assessment for credit impairment is generally based on a discounted cash flow approach unless the asset is collateral dependent. A loan is considered collateral dependent when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Collateral dependent loans are individually assessed and the expected credit loss is based on the fair value of the collateral. The fair value is reduced for estimated costs to sell if the value of the collateral is expected to be realized through sale.
The Company has elected to present accrued interest receivable separately from the amortized cost basis on the balance sheet and is not estimating an allowance for credit loss on accrued interest. This election applies to loans and leases as well as debt securities. The Company's non-accrual policies have not changed as a result of adopting the Updates.
41


Allowance for credit losses on investment securities held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity debt securities follow the CECL accounting model. Expected losses are calculated on a pooled basis using statistical models which include forecasted scenarios of future economic conditions. The forecasts revert to long-run loss rates implicitly through the economic scenario, generally over three years. If the risk of a held-to-maturity debt security no longer matches the collective assessment pool, it is removed and individually assessed for credit deterioration. A zero credit loss assumption is maintained for U.S. Treasuries and agency-backed securities in both the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale portfolios. The zero loss assumption is re-considered on a quarterly basis to ensure it is still appropriate.
Securities are placed on non-accrual status when collection of principal and interest in accordance with contractual terms is doubtful, generally when principal or interest payments become 90 days delinquent unless the security is well secured and in process of collection, or sooner if management concludes circumstances indicate that the borrower may be unable to meet contractual principal or interest payments.
Allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments. Accounting for unfunded loan commitments also follows the CECL model, with an allowance recorded on commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The calculation of the allowance includes the probability of funding to occur and a corresponding estimate of expected lifetime credit losses on amounts assumed to be funded. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and the related credit expense is recorded in other non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.
Accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. The Updates revised the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities by eliminating the other-than-temporary impairment model, and requiring credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than a direct write-down of available-for-sale debt securities under certain circumstances. Available-for-sale debt securities continue to be recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in OCI. When the fair value of an available-for-sale debt security falls below the amortized cost basis it is evaluated to determine if any of the decline in value is attributable to credit loss. Decreases in fair value attributable to credit loss are recorded directly to earnings with a corresponding allowance for credit losses, limited to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. If the credit quality subsequently improves the allowance is reversed up to a maximum of the previously recorded credit losses. Available-for-sale debt securities follow the same non-accrual policy as held-to-maturity debt securities. When the Company intends to sell an impaired available-for-sale debt security, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovering the amortized cost basis, the entire fair value adjustment will immediately be recognized in earnings with no corresponding allowance for credit losses.
Impact of Adoption. The Company adopted the Updates during the first quarter 2020, using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption, the Company recorded an increase in its allowance for credit losses as a cumulative effect adjustment. This adjustment, net of tax, reduced the Company's beginning total shareholders' equity at January 1, 2020. Upon adoption, the Company's allowance for credit losses reflected all credit losses expected over the lifetime of the Company's financial assets held at amortized cost. The total increase in allowance and corresponding decrease in equity did not have a material impact to the Company's regulatory capital amounts and ratios. Periods prior to January 1, 2020, are reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
The following new accounting guidance, applicable to the Company, has been issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) but is pending adoption:
ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.
The Update provides simplification to the accounting for income taxes related to a variety of topics and makes minor codification improvements. Changes include a requirement that the effects of an enacted change in tax law be reflected in the computation of the annual effective tax rate in the first interim period that includes the enactment date of the new legislation and clarification on presentation of non-income based taxes.
The Update will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The Company does not expect this Update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plan - General (Subtopic 715-20) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.
The Update modifies disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans.
The Update will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The Company does not expect this Update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Variable Interest Entities
The Company has an investment interest in the following entities that meet the definition of a variable interest entity (VIE).
Consolidated
Rabbi Trust. The Company established a Rabbi Trust to meet the obligations due under its Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers and to mitigate the expense volatility of the aforementioned plan. The funding of the Rabbi Trust and the discontinuation of the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers occurred during 2012.
Invested assets in the Rabbi Trust primarily consist of mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the Rabbi Trust as it has the power to direct the activities of the Rabbi Trust that significantly affect the VIE's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company consolidates the invested assets of the trust along with the total deferred compensation obligations and includes them in accrued interest receivable and other assets, and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. Earnings in the Rabbi Trust, including appreciation or depreciation, are reflected as other non-interest income, and changes in the corresponding liability are reflected as compensation and benefits, in the consolidated income statement. Refer to Note 14: Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
Non-Consolidated
Tax Credit - Finance Investments. The Company makes non-marketable equity investments in entities that finance affordable housing and other community development projects and provide a return primarily through the realization of tax benefits. In most instances the investments require the funding of capital commitments in the future. While the Company's investment in an entity may exceed 50% of its outstanding equity interests, the entity is not consolidated as Webster is not involved in its management. For these investments, the Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs. The Company applies the proportional amortization method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects.
At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate carrying value of the Company's tax credit-finance investments was $38.5 million and $42.5 million, respectively, which represents the Company's maximum exposure to loss. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, unfunded commitments have been recognized, totaling $14.2 million and $15.1 million, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Webster Statutory Trust. The Company owns all the outstanding common stock of Webster Statutory Trust, a financial vehicle that has issued, and in the future may issue, trust preferred securities. The trust is a VIE in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The trust's only assets are junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company, which were acquired by the trust using the proceeds from the issuance of the trust preferred securities and common stock. The junior subordinated debentures are included in long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet, and the related interest expense is reported as interest expense on long-term debt in the consolidated income statement.
Other Non-Marketable Investments. The Company invests in various alternative investments in which it holds a variable interest. These investments are non-public entities which cannot be redeemed since the Company’s investment is distributed as the underlying equity is liquidated. For these investments, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs.
At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate carrying value of the Company's other non-marketable investments in VIEs was $28.4 million and $21.8 million, respectively, and the total exposure of the Company's other non-marketable investments in VIEs, including unfunded commitments, was $70.5 million and $64.2 million, respectively. Refer to Note 14: Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
The Company's equity interests in Other Non-Marketable Investments, as well as Tax Credit-Finance Investments and Webster Statutory Trust, are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. For a description of the Company's accounting policy regarding the consolidation of VIEs, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(1)Amortized cost excludes accrued interest receivable of $18.5 million and $21.8 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which is included in accrued interest and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
(2)The Company adopted the new accounting standard for credit losses on January 1, 2020. For periods subsequent to adoption Allowance is calculated under the CECL methodology and the resulting provision includes expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities. The prior period did not have an allowance under applicable GAAP for that period.
Agency securities represent obligations issued by a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or other federally-related entity and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed and therefore, assumed to be zero loss. Securities with unrealized losses and no allowance are considered to be of high credit quality, and therefore, no credit loss as of September 30, 2020. The current unrealized loss position of certain agency securities and non-agency CMBS with no credit loss allowance can be attributed to the changing interest rate environment. An allowance for credit losses on investment securities held-to-maturity of $397 thousand was recorded for certain Municipal bonds and notes to account for expected lifetime credit loss upon adoption of the new accounting standard for credit losses. Expected lifetime credit loss on investment securities held-to-maturity is primarily attributed to securities not rated.

Credit Quality Information
The Company monitors the credit quality of held-to-maturity debt securities through credit ratings by Standard & Poor's Rating Services (S&P), Moody's Investor Services (Moody's), Fitch Ratings, Inc., Kroll Bond Rating Agency, or DBRS Inc. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security. Investment grade securities are rated BBB- or higher by S&P, or Baa3 or higher by Moody's, and generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be of low credit risk. Conversely, securities rated below investment grade, labeled as speculative grade by the rating agencies, are considered to have distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade securities. Securities shown below that are not rated are backed by U.S. Treasury obligations, and credit quality indicators are updated at each quarter end.

Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities presented in the previous table have not been recognized in the consolidated statements of income because the securities are high credit quality, investment grade securities that the Company does not intend to sell and will not be required to sell prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is primarily attributable to wider spreads in selected asset classes. Fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity. As of September 30, 2020, none of the available-for-sale investment securities were in non-accrual status.

Credit Quality Indicators. To measure credit risk for the commercial, commercial real estate, and equipment financing portfolios, the Company employs a dual grade credit risk grading system for estimating the PD and the LGD. The Company's credit risk grading system has not changed with the adoption of CECL. The credit risk grade system assigns a rating to each borrower and to the facility, which together form a Composite Credit Risk Profile. The credit risk grade system categorizes borrowers by common financial characteristics that measure the credit strength of borrowers and facilities by common structural characteristics. The Composite Credit Risk Profile has ten grades, with each grade corresponding to a progressively greater risk of loss. Grades (1)-(6) are considered pass ratings, and (7)-(10) are considered criticized as defined by the regulatory agencies. Risk ratings, assigned to differentiate risk within the portfolio, are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised to reflect changes in a borrowers’ current financial position and outlook, risk profile, and the related collateral and structural position. Loan officers review updated financial information on at least an annual basis for all pass rated loans to assess the accuracy of the risk grade. Criticized loans undergo more frequent reviews and enhanced monitoring.
A (7) "Special Mention" credit has the potential weakness that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset. A (8) "Substandard" asset has a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the full repayment of the debt. An asset rated (9) "Doubtful" has all of the same weaknesses as a substandard credit with the added characteristic that the weakness makes collection or liquidation in full, given current facts, conditions, and values, improbable. Assets classified as (10) "Loss" in accordance with regulatory guidelines are considered uncollectible and charged off.
For residential and consumer loans, the most relevant credit characteristic is FICO score. FICO scores are a widely used credit score and range from 300 to 850. A lower FICO score is indicative of higher credit risk. FICO scores are updated at least quarterly.

Collateral Dependent Loans and Leases. A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is substantially expected through the operation or sale of collateral. A collateral dependent loan is individually assessed based on the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, as of the reporting date. Commercial non-mortgage, asset based, and equipment financing are collateralized by equipment, inventory, receivables, or other non-real estate assets. Commercial real estate, residential, and home equity are collateralized by real estate. Collateral value on collateral dependent loans and leases was $135.3 million at September 30, 2020 and $109.8 million at December 31, 2019.

Note 5: Transfers of Financial Assets
The Company sells financial assets in the normal course of business, primarily residential mortgage loans sold to government-sponsored enterprises through established programs and securitizations. Residential mortgage origination fees, adjustments for changes in fair value, and gain or loss on loans sold are included as mortgage banking activities in the consolidated statement of income.
The Company may be required to repurchase a loan in the event of certain breaches of the representations and warranties, or in the event of default of the borrower within 90 days of sale, as provided for in the sale agreements. A reserve for loan repurchases provides for estimated losses pertaining to the potential repurchase of loans associated with the Company’s mortgage banking activities. The reserve reflects loan repurchase requests received by the Company for which management evaluates the identity of the counterparty, the vintage of the loans sold, the amount of open repurchase requests, specific loss estimates for each open request, the current level of loan losses in similar vintages held in the residential loan portfolio, and estimated recoveries on the underlying collateral. The reserve also reflects management’s expectation of losses from loan repurchase requests for which the Company has not yet been notified. The provision recorded at the time of the loan sale is netted from the gain or loss recorded in mortgage banking activities, while any incremental provision, post loan sale, is recorded in other non-interest expense in the consolidated income statement.

Note 11: Regulatory Matters
Capital Requirements
Webster Financial Corporation is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve System, while Webster Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the OCC. Regulatory authorities can initiate certain mandatory actions if Webster Financial Corporation or Webster Bank fail to meet minimum capital requirements, which could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, both Webster Financial Corporation and Webster Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. These quantitative measures require minimum amounts and ratios to ensure capital adequacy.
Total risk-based capital is comprised of three categories as defined by Basel III capital rules: common equity Tier 1 capital (CET1 capital), Tier 1 capital, and Tier 2 capital. CET1 capital includes common shareholders' equity, less deductions for goodwill, other intangibles, and certain deferred tax adjustments. For purposes of CET1 capital, common shareholders' equity excludes AOCI/AOCL components as permitted by the opt-out election taken by Webster upon adoption of Basel III. Tier 1 capital is comprised of CET1 capital plus non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, while Tier 2 capital includes qualifying subordinated debt and qualifying allowance for credit losses, that together equal total capital.
The following table provides information on the capital ratios for Webster Financial Corporation and Webster Bank:

(1)In accordance with regulatory capital rules, the Company elected an option to delay the estimated impact of CECL on its regulatory capital over a two-year deferral and subsequent three-year transition period ending December 31, 2024. As a result, capital ratios and amounts as of September 30, 2020 exclude the impact of the increased allowance for credit losses on loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, and unfunded loan commitments attributed to the adoption of CECL, adjusted for an approximation of the after-tax provision for credit losses attributable to CECL relative to the incurred loss methodology during the deferral period.
Dividend Restrictions. Webster Financial Corporation is dependent upon dividends from Webster Bank to provide funds for its cash requirements, including payments of dividends to shareholders. Dividends paid by the Bank are subject to various federal and state regulatory limitations. Express approval by the OCC is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels, or would exceed the net income for that year combined with the undistributed net income for the preceding two years. Webster Bank paid no dividends to Webster Financial Corporation during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $170 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Cash Restrictions. Webster Bank is required by Federal Reserve System regulations to hold cash reserve balances on hand or with a Federal Reserve Bank. To address liquidity concerns due to COVID-19 the Federal Reserve reset the requirement to zero, effective March 26, 2020. The reserve requirement ratio is subject to adjustment as conditions warrant.

Dilutive Securities
The Company maintains stock compensation plans under which restricted stock, restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, or stock appreciation rights may be granted to employees and directors. The effect of dilutive securities for the periods presented is primarily the result of outstanding stock options, as well as non-participating restricted stock.
Potential common shares from non-participating restricted stock, of 96 thousand and 44 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 125 thousand and 69 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are excluded from the effect of dilutive securities because they would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Note 13: Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Positions and Offsetting
Derivatives Designated in Hedge Relationships. Interest rate swaps allow the Company to change the fixed or variable nature of an interest rate without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. Certain pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges to effectively convert variable-rate debt into fixed-rate debt, while certain receive fixed/pay variable interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges to effectively convert fixed-rate long-term debt into variable-rate debt. Certain purchased options are designated as cash flow hedges. Purchased options allow the Company to limit the potential adverse impact of variable interest rates by establishing a cap or a floor rate in exchange for an upfront premium. The purchased options designated as cash flow hedges represent interest rate caps where payment is received from the counterparty if interest rates rise above the cap rate and interest rate floors where payment is received from the counterparty when interest rates fall below the floor rate.
Derivatives Not Designated in Hedge Relationships. The Company also enters into other derivative transactions to manage economic risks but does not designate the instruments in hedge relationships. Further, the Company enters into derivative contracts to accommodate customer needs. Derivative contracts with customers are offset with dealer counterparty transactions structured with matching terms to ensure minimal impact on earnings.

Notional amounts of interest rate swaps cleared through CME include $60.1 million and $1.1 billion for asset derivatives and $3.4 billion and $2.6 billion for liability derivatives at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The related fair values approximate zero.
(2)Notional amounts related to residential loans exclude approved floating rate commitments of $10.8 million at September 30, 2020.
(3)Other derivatives include foreign currency forward contracts related to lending arrangements and customer hedging activity, a Visa equity swap transaction, and risk participation agreements (RPAs). Notional amounts of RPAs include $95.4 million and $65.7 million for asset derivatives and $317.8 million and $223.4 million for liability derivatives at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, that have insignificant related fair values.

Purchased options designated as cash flow hedges exclude time-value premiums from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Time-value premiums are amortized on a straight-line basis. At September 30, 2020, the remaining unamortized balance of time-value premiums was $10.0 million.
Over the next twelve months, an estimated $8.1 million decrease to interest expense will be reclassified from AOCI/AOCL relating to cash flow hedges, and an estimated $1.9 million increase to interest expense will be reclassified from AOCI/AOCL relating to hedge terminations. At September 30, 2020, the remaining unamortized loss on terminated cash flow hedges is $3.1 million. The maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged is 4 years.
Additional information about cash flow hedge activity impacting AOCI/AOCL and the related amounts reclassified to interest expense is provided in Note 10: Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, Net of Tax. Information about the valuation methods used to measure the fair value of derivatives is provided in Note 14: Fair Value Measurements.
Derivative Exposure
The Company had approximately $349.5 million in net margin posted with financial counterparties or the derivative clearing organization at September 30, 2020, which is primarily comprised of $82.8 million in initial margin collateral posted at CME and $294.6 million in CME variation margin posted. At September 30, 2020, $33.2 million of cash collateral received is included in cash and due from banks on the consolidated balance sheet and is considered restricted in nature.
Webster regularly evaluates the credit risk of its derivative customers, taking into account the likelihood of default, net exposures, and remaining contractual life, among other related factors. Credit risk exposure is mitigated as transactions with customers are generally secured by the same collateral of the underlying transactions being hedged. Current net credit exposure relating to interest rate derivatives with Webster Bank customers was $346.1 million at September 30, 2020. In addition, the Company monitors potential future exposure, representing its best estimate of exposure to remaining contractual maturity. The potential future exposure relating to interest rate derivatives with Webster Bank customers totaled $40.0 million at September 30, 2020. The Company has incorporated a credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to reflect nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of its derivatives. The CVA was $4.2 million as of September 30, 2020. Various factors impact changes in the CVA over time, including changes in the credit spreads of the parties to the contracts, as well as changes in market rates and volatilities, which affect the total expected exposure of the derivative instruments.

Note 14: Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined using quoted market prices. However, in many instances, quoted market prices are not available. In such instances, fair values are determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Various assumptions and observable inputs must be relied upon in applying these techniques. Accordingly, categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As such, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate transfer of the respective asset or liability.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings or any part of a particular financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These factors are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Fair value is calculated using significant inputs other than quoted market prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. The valuation may rely on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, rate volatility, prepayment speeds, credit ratings,) or inputs that are derived principally or corroborated by market data, by correlation, or other means.
Level 3: Inputs for determining the fair value of the respective assets or liabilities are not observable. Level 3 valuations are reliant upon pricing models and techniques that require significant management judgment or estimation.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Available-for-Sale Investment Securities. When quoted prices are available in an active market, the Company classifies available-for-sale investment securities within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. U.S. Treasury Bills are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
When quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. Such fair value measurements consider observable data such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information, and respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. Management maintains procedures to monitor the pricing service's results and has an established process to challenge their valuations, or methodologies, that appear unusual or unexpected. Available-for-Sale investment securities which include Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, CMBS, CLO, and corporate debt, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Instruments. Foreign exchange contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
All other derivative instruments are valued using third-party valuation software, which considers the present value of cash flows discounted using observable forward rate assumptions. The resulting fair value is validated against valuations performed by independent third parties and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Webster evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties to determine the CVA by considering factors such as the likelihood of default by the counterparty, its net exposure, remaining contractual life, as well as the collateral securing the position. While the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative financial instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the CVA utilizes Level 3 inputs. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the CVA on the overall valuation of its derivative positions as of September 30, 2020, and has determined that the CVA is not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. Therefore, the Company has determined that the fair value measures of its derivative financial instruments in their entirety are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives. Forward sales of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are utilized by the Company in its efforts to manage risk of loss associated with its mortgage loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Prior to closing and funding certain single-family residential mortgage loans, an interest rate lock commitment is generally extended to the borrower. During the period from commitment date to closing date, the Company is subject to the risk that market rates of interest may change. If market rates rise, investors generally will pay less to purchase such loans resulting in a reduction in the gain on sale of the loans or, possibly, a loss. In an effort to mitigate such risk, forward delivery sales commitments are established, under which the Company agrees to deliver whole mortgage loans to various investors or issue mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of mortgage banking derivatives is determined based on current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market and, therefore, classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Originated Loans Held For Sale. Residential mortgage loans typically are classified as held for sale upon origination based on management's intent to sell such loans. The Company generally records residential mortgage loans held for sale under the fair value option of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 825 "Financial Instruments." Electing to measure originated loans held for sale at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better matches changes in the value of these assets with changes in the value of the derivatives used as an economic hedge on these assets. The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions. Accordingly, such loans are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table compares the fair value to unpaid principal balance of assets accounted for under the fair value option:

Originated loans held for sale$29,018 $28,433 $585 $35,750 $35,186 $564 
Investments Held in Rabbi Trust. Investments held in the Rabbi Trust primarily include mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. Shares of mutual funds are valued based on net asset value, which represents quoted market prices for the underlying shares held in the mutual funds. Therefore, investments held in the Rabbi Trust are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company has elected to measure the investments held in the Rabbi Trust at fair value. The cost basis of the investments held in the Rabbi Trust is $1.6 million at September 30, 2020.
Alternative Investments. Equity investments have a readily determinable fair value when quoted prices are available in an active market. Accordingly, such alternative investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Equity investments that do not have a readily available fair value may qualify for net asset value (NAV) practical expedient measurement, based on specific requirements. The Company's alternative investments accounted for at NAV consist of investments in non-public entities that generally cannot be redeemed since the Company’s investments are distributed as the underlying equity is liquidated. Alternative investments recorded at NAV are not classified within the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2020, these alternative investments had a remaining unfunded commitment of $25.0 million.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. At September 30, 2020, no significant assets classified within Level 3 were identified and measured under this basis. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured on a non-recurring basis.
Alternative Investments. The measurement alternative has been elected for alternative investments without readily determinable fair values that do not qualify for the NAV practical expedient. The measurement alternative requires investments to be accounted for at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. These alternative investments are investments in non-public entities that generally cannot be redeemed since the investment is distributed as the underlying equity is liquidated. Accordingly, these alternative investments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount of these alternative investments was $14.5 million at September 30, 2020. No reductions for impairments, or adjustments due to observable price changes, was identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Transferred Loans Held For Sale. Certain loans are transferred to loans held for sale once a decision has been made to sell such loans. These loans are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value and are considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost. This activity primarily consists of commercial loans with observable inputs and is classified within Level 2. On the occasion that these loans should include adjustments for changes in loan characteristics using unobservable inputs, the loans would be classified within Level 3.
Collateral Dependent Loans and Leases. Loans and leases for which the payment is expected to be provided solely by the value of the underlying collateral are considered collateral dependent and are valued based on the estimated fair value of such collateral, less estimated cost to sell, using customized discounting criteria. Accordingly, such collateral dependent loans and leases are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets. The total book value of OREO and repossessed assets was $4.7 million at September 30, 2020. OREO and repossessed assets are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value and are considered to be recognized at fair value when recorded below cost. The fair value of OREO is based on independent appraisals or internal valuation methods, less estimated selling costs. The valuation may consider available pricing guides, auction results, and price opinions. Certain assets require assumptions about factors that are not observable in an active market in the determination of fair value; as such, OREO and repossessed assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
In addition, the amortized cost of consumer loans secured by residential real estate property that are in process of foreclosure amounted to $12.5 million at September 30, 2020.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Servicing Assets
The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, as well as servicing assets. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for those assets and liabilities.
Cash, Due from Banks, and Interest-bearing Deposits. The carrying amount of cash, due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits is used to approximate fair value, given the short time frame to maturity and, as such, these assets do not present unanticipated credit concerns. Cash, due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. Such fair value measurements consider observable data such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information, and respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. Management maintains procedures to monitor the pricing service's results and has an established process to challenge their valuations, or methodologies, that appear unusual or unexpected. Held-to-Maturity investment securities, which include Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, CMBS, and municipal bonds and notes, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Loans and Leases, net. The estimated fair value of loans and leases held for investment is calculated using a discounted cash flow method, using future prepayments and market interest rates inclusive of an illiquidity premium for comparable loans and leases. The associated cash flows are adjusted for credit and other potential losses. Fair value for collateral dependent loans and leases is estimated using the net present value of the expected cash flows. Loans and leases are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
67


Deposit Liabilities. The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Deposit liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Time Deposits. The fair value of a fixed-maturity certificate of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Time deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Other Borrowings. The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings that mature within 90 days is the carrying value. Fair value for all other balances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current market rates adjusted for associated credit risks, as appropriate. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Long-Term Debt. The fair value of FHLB advances and long-term debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow technique. Discount rates are matched with the time period of the expected cash flow and are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect credit risk. FHLB advances and long-term debt are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage Servicing Assets. Mortgage servicing assets are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured under the amortization method. Fair value is calculated as the present value of estimated future net servicing income and relies on market based assumptions for loan prepayment speeds, servicing costs, discount rates, and other economic factors; as such, the primary risk inherent in valuing mortgage servicing assets is the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the servicing revenue stream. Mortgage servicing assets are reviewed quarterly and held at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Fair value adjustments, if any, are included as a component of loan related fees in the consolidated statement of income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $1.4 million valuation allowance. Mortgage servicing assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 16: Segment Reporting
Webster’s operations are organized into three reportable segments that represent its primary businesses - Commercial Banking, HSA Bank, and Community Banking. These segments reflect how executive management responsibilities are assigned, the type of customer served, how products and services are provided, and how discrete financial information is currently evaluated. Certain Corporate Treasury activities, along with the amounts required to reconcile profitability metrics to amounts reported in accordance with GAAP, are included in the Corporate and Reconciling category.
Description of Segment Reporting Methodology
Webster uses an internal profitability reporting system to generate information by operating segment, which is based on a series of management estimates for funds transfer pricing, and allocations for non-interest expense, provision for credit losses, income taxes, and equity capital. These estimates and allocations, certain of which are subjective in nature, are periodically reviewed and refined. Changes in estimates and allocations that affect the reported results of any operating segment do not affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of Webster as a whole. The full profitability measurement reports, which are prepared for each operating segment, reflect non-GAAP reporting methodologies. The differences between full profitability and GAAP results are reconciled in the Corporate and Reconciling category.
Webster allocates interest income and interest expense to each business, while any mismatch associated with the matched maturity funding concept called Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP) is absorbed in corporate treasury activities. The allocation process considers the specific interest rate risk and liquidity risk of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities in each line of business. The matched maturity funding concept considers the origination date and the earlier of the maturity date or the repricing date of a financial instrument to assign a FTP rate for loans and deposits originated each day. Loans are assigned an FTP rate for funds used and deposits are assigned an FTP rate for funds provided. Beginning in 2020, Webster refined the FTP calculation to reflect the allocation of capital credit to net interest income to better align segment results with key measurements used to review segment performance. Prior period net interest income and income tax expense were revised to reflect this change.
Webster allocates a majority of non-interest expense to each reportable segment using a full-absorption costing process. Costs, including corporate overhead, are analyzed, pooled by process, and assigned to the appropriate reportable segment.
The results of funds transfer pricing and allocations for non-interest expense, as well as non-interest income produces pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue, under which basis the segments are reviewed by executive management.
Webster also allocates the provision for credit losses to each segment based on management's estimate of the inherent loss content in each of the specific loan and lease portfolios. Allowance for credit losses on loans and leases is included in total assets within the Corporate and Reconciling category.

The major types of revenue streams that are within the scope of ASC 606 are described below:
Deposit service fees, predominately consist of fees earned from deposit accounts and interchange fees. Fees earned from deposit accounts relate to event-driven services and periodic account maintenance activities. Webster's obligations for event-driven services are satisfied at the time the service is delivered, while the obligations for maintenance services is satisfied monthly. Interchange fees are assessed as the performance obligation is satisfied, which is the point in time that the card transaction is authorized.
Wealth and investment services, consists of fees earned from investment and securities-related services, trust and other related services. Obligations for wealth and investment services are generally satisfied over time through a time-based measurement of progress, while certain obligations may be satisfied at points in time for activities that are transactional in nature.
These disaggregated amounts are reconciled to non-interest income as presented in Note 16: Segment Reporting. Contracts with customers have not generated significant contract assets and liabilities.

Note 18: Commitments and Contingencies
Credit-Related Financial Instruments
The Company offers credit-related financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet certain financing needs of its customers, that involve off-balance sheet risk. These transactions may include an unused commitment to extend credit, standby letter of credit, or commercial letter of credit. Such transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk.
Commitments to Extend Credit. The Company makes commitments under various terms to lend funds to customers at a future point in time. These commitments include revolving credit arrangements, term loan commitments, and short-term borrowing agreements. Most of these loans have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses where a fee may be required. Since commitments routinely expire without being funded, or after required availability of collateral occurs, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.
Standby Letter of Credit. A standby letter of credit commits the Company to make payments on behalf of customers if certain specified future events occur. The Company has recourse against the customer for any amount required to be paid to a third party under a standby letter of credit, which is often part of a larger credit agreement under which security is provided. Historically, a large percentage of standby letters of credit expire without being funded. The contractual amount of a standby letter of credit represents the maximum amount of potential future payments the Company could be required to make, and is the Company's maximum credit risk.
Commercial Letter of Credit. A commercial letter of credit is issued to facilitate either domestic or foreign trade arrangements for customers. As a general rule, drafts are committed to be drawn when the goods underlying the transaction are in transit. Similar to a standby letter of credit, a commercial letter of credit is often secured by an underlying security agreement including the assets or inventory to which they relate.
The following table summarizes the outstanding amounts of credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk:
(In thousands)At September 30,
2020
At December 31, 2019
Commitments to extend credit$6,287,783 $6,162,658 
Standby letter of credit204,981 188,103 
Commercial letter of credit26,270 29,180 
Total credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk$6,519,034 $6,379,941 
These commitments subject the Company to potential exposure in excess of amounts recorded in the financial statements, and therefore, management maintains a reserve for unfunded credit commitments to provide for expected losses in connection with funding the unused portion of legal commitments to lend when those commitments are not unconditionally cancellable by Webster. Loss calculation factors are consistent with the ACL methodology for funded loans using PD and LGD applied to the underlying borrower risk and facility grades, a draw down factor applied to utilization rates, and relevant forecast information. This reserve is reported as a component of accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
The following table provides a summary of activity in the reserve for unfunded credit commitments:

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time Webster Financial Corporation, or its subsidiaries, are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. Management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not be material to Webster or its consolidated financial condition. Webster establishes an accrual for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur that could cause Webster to adjust its litigation accrual or could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or operating results.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes a discussion of the material risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business and impact our results of operations or financial condition. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting adverse economic conditions have adversely impacted our business and results and could have a more material impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the United States and international economies and financial markets. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in commercial activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions, increased unemployment, and overall economic and financial market instability. Many states, including Connecticut, where we are headquartered, and New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin, in which we have significant operations, continue to be affected.
Although Webster Bank continues to operate, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions to our business and could cause material disruptions to our business and operations in the future. Impacts to our business, requiring implementation of new processes in a short period of time, have included decreases in customer traffic in our retail branch locations, shifting transactions at branches to drive through or by appointment only, the transition of a significant portion of our workforce to remote locations, increases in requests for forbearance and loan modifications, and additional health and safety precautions implemented at all physical locations. To the extent that commercial and social restrictions remain in place or increase, our delinquencies, foreclosures, and credit losses may materially increase and we could experience reductions in fee income as transaction volumes decline.
Unfavorable economic conditions may also make it more difficult for us to maintain deposit levels and loan origination volume and to obtain additional financing. Furthermore, such conditions have and may continue to cause the value of collateral associated with our existing loans to decline. The persistence or worsening of current economic conditions could also adversely affect certain risks related to our accounting estimates, as described within the Use of Estimates section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis within this document.
In addition, in March 2020, the Federal Reserve lowered the target range for the federal funds rate to a range from 0 to 0.25 percent in part as a result of the pandemic. A prolonged period of very low interest rates could have a material adverse impact on our interest income and the market value of our investments. Refer to Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk section in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis within this document for more information regarding the impact of the interest rate environment.
While we have taken and are continuing to take actions to protect the safety and well-being of our employees, customers, and communities, no assurance can be given that the steps being taken will be adequate or appropriate. The continued or renewed spread of COVID-19 could negatively impact the availability of key personnel necessary to conduct our business, the business and operations of our third-party service providers who perform critical services for our business, or the businesses of many of our customers and borrowers. In addition, as a result of the pandemic and the related increase in remote working by our personnel and the personnel of other companies, the risk of cyber-attacks, breaches or similar events, whether through our systems or those of third parties on which we rely, has increased.
74


Among the factors outside our control that are likely to affect the impact the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately have on our business are:
the pandemic’s course and severity;
direct and indirect results of the pandemic, such as recessionary economic trends, including with respect to employment, wages and benefits, commercial activity, consumer spending and real estate market values;
political, legal and regulatory actions and policies in response to the pandemic, including the effects of restrictions on commerce and banking, such as dividends, moratorium and other suspension of collections, foreclosure, and related obligations;
timing, magnitude and effects of public spending, directly or through subsidies, its direct and indirect effects on commercial activity and incentives of employers and individuals to resume or increase employment, wages and benefits and commercial activity;
timing and availability of direct and indirect governmental support for various financial assets, including mortgage loans;
potential impact of changes in medical spending and unemployment on our HSA business and related deposits;
long-term effects of the economic downturn on the value of our assets and related accounting estimates;
potential longer-term effects of increased government spending on the interest rate environment and borrowing costs for non-governmental parties;
the ability of our employees and our third-party vendors to work effectively during the course of the pandemic;
potential longer-term shifts toward mobile banking, telecommuting and telecommerce; and
geographic variation in the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including in states in which we operate physically such as Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in severe volatility in the financial markets and meaningfully lower stock prices for many companies, including our common stock.
We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks, although the rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any specific prediction as to its ultimate impact on us. However, if the pandemic continues to spread or otherwise result in a continuation or worsening of the current economic and commercial environments, our stock price, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

On October 29, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a modification to this program, originally approved on October 24, 2017, increasing the maximum dollar amount available for repurchase to $200 million. This program will remain in effect until fully utilized or until modified, superseded, or terminated. Given the current economic environment, the Company does not expect to continue repurchases under the common stock repurchase program until further notice.
