Allowance for Credit Losses on AFS and HTM Securities
Private-Label Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities – There have been no significant changes in the composition, credit quality, or valuation methodology of the Bank’s PLRMBS portfolio since December 31, 2025.
As a result of credit impairments recognized prior to the adoption of the current expected credit loss methodology, certain PLRMBS continue to accrete previously recognized credit losses into interest income. The remaining balance of these credit losses totaled $270 million and $278 million at September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Accretion related to these amounts increased interest income by $2 million and $8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $3 million and $10 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
AFS and HTM Securities (Excluding PLRMBS) – There have been no significant changes in the credit quality, ratings distribution, or unrealized loss position of the Bank’s AFS and HTM securities (excluding PLRMBS investments) since December 31, 2025. As a result, no allowance for credit losses was recorded on these AFS or HTM securities at September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
