Loans Loans
In connection with the simplification of our organizational structure and to better reflect how we manage our commercial mortgage loan exposure, in the first quarter of 2026, we updated our presentation of commercial loans. Commercial mortgages previously reported within real estate, including construction are now presented as a separate category. Unsecured loans and loans that are indirectly secured by commercial real estate are now included within business and corporate banking. As a result, we have reclassified $3.2 billion of loans to business and corporate banking at December 31, 2025 to conform to the current year presentation. All tables below have been recast, as applicable, to reflect this change.

At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, net deferred origination costs and net unamortized discounts on our loans were immaterial.
Aging Analysis of Past Due Loans  The following table summarizes the past due status of our loans. The aging of past due amounts is determined based on the contractual delinquency status of payments under the loan. An account is generally considered to be contractually delinquent when payments have not been made in accordance with the loan terms. Delinquency status is affected by customer account management policies and practices such as re-age, which results in the re-setting of the contractual delinquency status to current.

(1)At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, includes $126 million and $99 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans that are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value of the collateral less cost to sell.
Interest income that was recorded on nonaccrual loans and included in interest income was immaterial during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Collateral-Dependent Loans Loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty are considered to be collateral-dependent. Collateral can have a significant financial effect in mitigating our exposure to credit risk.
Collateral-dependent residential mortgage loans are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value of the collateral less costs to sell, with any excess in the carrying amount of the loan generally charged off at the time foreclosure is initiated or when settlement is reached with the borrower, but not to exceed the end of the month in which the account becomes six months contractually delinquent. Collateral values are based on broker price opinions or appraisals which are updated at least every 180 days. During the quarterly period between updates, real estate price trends are reviewed on a geographic basis and incorporated as necessary. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had collateral-dependent residential mortgage loans totaling $274 million and $256 million, respectively.
For collateral-dependent commercial loans, the allowance for expected credit losses is individually assessed based on the fair value of the collateral. Collateral may include real estate, inventory, equipment, accounts receivable, securities and cash. Real estate collateral values are generally based on appraisals which are updated based on management judgment on a case-by-case basis. When an appraisal is not used, we estimate collateral value by reviewing borrower-specific factors such as operating results, cash flows and debt service ratios along with relevant market data of comparable properties, typically using a discounted cash flow analysis. The collateral value for securities is based on quoted market prices or broker quotes, while other financial collateral is generally valued based on appraisals or discounted cash flow analysis. Commercial loan balances are charged off at the time all or a portion of the balance is deemed uncollectible. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had collateral-dependent commercial loans totaling $605 million and $513 million, respectively.
Loan Modifications In conjunction with our loss mitigation activities, we modify certain loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Modifications may include changes to one or more terms of the loan, including, but not limited to, a change in interest rate, extension of the term, reduction in payment amount and partial forgiveness or deferment of principal, accrued interest or other loan covenants.
The following disclosures provide information about loan payment modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the form of an interest rate reduction, principal forgiveness, a term extension or significant payment deferral, or a combination thereof. Not included are loans with short-term payment modifications (e.g., deferrals of three months or less) and other insignificant modifications, such as covenant waivers and amendments, and deferrals of financial statement and covenant compliance reporting requirements. Commercial loan payment modifications typically involve term extensions. In certain cases, the term extension is coupled with an interest rate increase which is intended to reduce the financial effect of extending the life of the loan. The effects of these interest rate increases are not included in the following disclosures. For consumer loans, payment modifications typically involve payment deferrals or interest rate reductions which lower the amount of interest income we are contractually entitled to receive in future periods. Through lowering the interest rate, we believe we are able to increase the amount of cash flow that will ultimately be collected from the loan, given the borrower's financial condition.
Loan payment modifications made to consumer borrowers experiencing financial difficulty were immaterial during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the methodology used to estimate lifetime ECL, which considers historical loss information including losses from modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. As a result, a material change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. In instances when a loan is modified in the form of principal forgiveness, the amount of principal forgiven is deemed uncollectible and that portion of the loan balance is charged off with a corresponding reduction to the allowance for credit losses.
We closely monitor the performance of modified loans to understand the effectiveness of our loss mitigation efforts. Upon determination that a modified loan or a portion of a modified loan has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan or a portion of the loan is charged off in accordance with our accounting policies with a corresponding reduction to the allowance for credit losses.
Loans to commercial borrowers experiencing financial difficulty with a payment modification during the previous 12 months which subsequently became 90 days or greater contractually delinquent were immaterial during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Commercial Loan Credit Quality Indicator and Gross Charge-offs by Year of Origination
Criticized The primary credit quality indicator utilized to monitor our commercial loan portfolio is our internal classification of pass rated or criticized, which is determined by the assignment of various facility risk ratings based on the risk rating standards of our regulators. The criticized classification includes loans that are rated special mention, substandard or doubtful, which have an elevated level of risk.
