The ACL represents management's estimate of probable credit losses incurred in the loan and lease portfolios and off-balance sheet lending commitments at the balance sheet date. Estimates for loan and lease losses are determined by analyzing historical loan and lease losses, historical loan and lease migration to charge-off experience, current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, changes in internal risk ratings, expected cash flows on PCI loans, current assessment of impaired loans and leases, the results of regulatory examinations and changes in the size, composition and risk assessment of the loan and lease portfolio. As part of the ACL estimation process, Truist develops a series of loss estimate factors, which are modeled projections of the frequency and severity of losses. Changes to the ACL are made by charges to the Provision for credit losses, which is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Loan or lease balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged off against the ALLL. Recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the ALLL. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The methodology used to determine the RUFC is inherently similar to that used to determine the collectively evaluated component of the ALLL, adjusted for factors specific to binding commitments, including the probability of funding and exposure at default. The RUFC is reported in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the provision associated with changes in the RUFC is recognized in the Provision for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">While management uses the best information available to establish the ACL, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in computing the ACL.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The portfolio segment level represents the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its ACL. Truist concluded that its loan and lease portfolio consists of four portfolio segments: commercial, consumer, credit card, and PCI. The commercial portfolio segment was identified based on the risk-based approach used to estimate the ALLL for the vast majority of these loans. The consumer portfolio segment was identified based on the delinquency-based approach used to estimate the ALLL. The credit card portfolio segment, which also uses a delinquency-based ALLL approach, was identified because of the unique nature of its lending arrangements. The PCI portfolio segment was identified based on the expected cash flows approach used to estimate the ALLL. See "Note 5. Loans and ACL" for additional information about the classes of financing receivables included within each of these loan portfolio segments. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The entire amount of the ACL is available to absorb losses on any loan category or lending-related commitment.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The following provides a description of accounting policies and methodologies related to each of the portfolio segments:</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;text-decoration: underline;">Commercial</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The vast majority of loans in the commercial lending portfolio are assigned risk ratings based on an assessment of conditions that affect the borrower's ability to meet contractual obligations under the loan agreement. This process includes reviewing borrowers' financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and other information specific to each borrower. Risk ratings are reviewed on an annual basis, or more frequently for many relationships based on policy requirements regarding various risk characteristics. While this review is largely focused on the borrower's ability to repay the loan, Truist also considers the capacity and willingness of a loan's guarantors to support the debt service on the loan as a secondary source of repayment. When a guarantor exhibits the documented capacity and willingness to support the loan, Truist may consider extending the loan maturity and/or temporarily deferring principal payments if the ultimate collection of both principal and interest is not in question. In these cases, Truist may deem the loan to not be impaired due to the documented capacity and willingness of the guarantor to repay the loan. Loans are considered impaired when the borrower (or guarantor in certain circumstances) does not have the cash flow capacity or willingness to service the debt according to contractual terms, or it does not appear reasonable to assume that the borrower will continue to pay according to the contractual agreement. The following table summarizes risk ratings:</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;"><table style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt;display:inline-table;width:99.853%;"><tr><td style="width:1.0%;"/><td style="width:11.469%;"/><td style="width:1.0%;"/><td style="width:1.0%;"/><td style="width:84.531%;"/><td style="width:1.0%;"/></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:7pt;font-weight:700;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">Risk Rating</span></td><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:7pt;font-weight:700;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">Description</span></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:#d2d2d2;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;border-top:1pt solid #000000;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">Pass</span></td><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:#d2d2d2;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;border-top:1pt solid #000000;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">Loans not considered to be problem credits</span></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:#ffffff;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">Special Mention</span></td><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:#ffffff;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">Loans that have a potential weakness deserving management's close attention</span></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:#d2d2d2;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;border-bottom:1pt solid #000000;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">Substandard</span></td><td colspan="3" style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;background-color:#d2d2d2;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;border-bottom:1pt solid #000000;padding-left:1pt;padding-right:1pt;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);">Loans for which a well-defined weakness has been identified that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk</span></td></tr></table></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Large commercial nonaccrual loans and commercial loans whose terms have been modified in a TDR are reviewed to determine the amount of specific allowance required in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The specific allowance established for these loans is based on a thorough analysis of expected cash flows which typically includes assessing the most probable source of repayment, including the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows, the loan’s estimated market value, or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated selling costs. Any change in the present value attributable to the passage of time is recognized through the Provision for credit losses.</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">Collectively evaluated allowances are established for loans and leases grouped into pools based on similar characteristics. In this process, allowance factors are based on an analysis of historical charge-off experience, expected loss factors derived from the Company's internal risk rating process, portfolio trends, and regional and national economic conditions. Other adjustments may be made to the ALLL after an assessment of internal and external influences on credit quality that may not be fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data. These influences may include elements such as changes in credit underwriting, concentration risk, macroeconomic conditions, and/or recent observable asset quality trends.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;text-decoration: underline;">Consumer and Revolving Credit</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">The majority of the ALLL related to the consumer and revolving credit lending portfolios is calculated on a collective basis using delinquency status, which is the primary factor considered in determining whether a loan should be classified as nonperforming. Incurred loss estimates for Truist's consumer and revolving credit lending portfolios are based on estimated migration rates that are developed based on historical experience and current risk mix (e.g., prevailing delinquency rates). These estimates may be adjusted to reflect current economic conditions and current portfolio trends. The remaining portion of the ALLL related to the consumer and revolving credit lending portfolios relates to loans that have been deemed impaired based on their classification as a TDR at the balance sheet date. The ALLL for consumer and revolving credit TDRs is based on discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate adjustments to future cash flows that reflect management's best estimate of the default risk related to TDRs based on a combination of historical experience and management judgment.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;text-decoration: underline;">PCI</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;"> </span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255, 0.0);color:#000000;font-family:'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;">PCI loans are aggregated into loan pools based upon common risk characteristics. The ALLL for each loan pool is based on an analysis that is performed to estimate the expected cash flows. To the extent that the expected cash flows of a loan pool have decreased due to credit deterioration, Truist establishes an ALLL.</span></div>
