Forward-Looking Statements and Other Terms
From time to time we have made, and in the future will make, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “pursue,” “seek,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “potential,” “target,” “objective,” “trend,” “plan,” “goal,” “initiative,” “priorities,” or other words of comparable meaning or future-tense or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” or “could.” Forward-looking statements convey our expectations, intentions, or forecasts about future events, circumstances, or results.
This report, including any information incorporated by reference in this report, contains forward-looking statements. We also may make forward-looking statements in other documents that are filed or furnished with the SEC. In addition, we may make forward-looking statements orally or in writing to investors, analysts, members of the media, and others. All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which may change over time and many of which are beyond our control. You should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction or guarantee about the future. Actual future objectives, strategies, plans, prospects, performance, conditions, and results may differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. While no list of assumptions, risks, and uncertainties could be complete, some of the factors that may cause actual results or other future events or circumstances to differ from those in forward-looking statements include:
•evolving political, business, economic, and market conditions at local, regional, national, and international levels;
•monetary, fiscal, and trade laws or policies, including as a result of actions by governmental agencies, central banks, or supranational authorities;

•any instability or breakdown in the financial system, including as a result of the actual or perceived soundness of another financial institution or another participant in the financial system;
•disruptions and shifts in investor sentiment or behavior in the securities, capital, or other financial markets, including financial or systemic shocks and volatility or changes in market liquidity, interest or currency rates, or valuations;
•our ability to cost-effectively fund our businesses and operations, including by accessing long- and short-term funding and liquidity and by retaining and growing client deposits;
•changes in any of our credit ratings;
•our ability to manage any unexpected outflows of uninsured deposits and avoid selling investment securities or other assets at an unfavorable time or at a loss;
•negative market perceptions of our investment portfolio or its value;
•adverse publicity or other reputational harm to us, our service providers, or our senior officers;
•business and consumer sentiment, preferences, or behavior, including spending, borrowing, or saving by businesses or households;
•our ability to execute on strategic and operational plans, including simplifying our businesses, achieving cost-savings targets and lowering expense growth, accelerating franchise momentum, and improving our capital position;
•changes in our corporate and business strategies, the composition of our assets, or the way in which we fund those assets;
•our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions and to effect divestitures, including the ability to successfully deploy the proceeds from the sale of TIH and perform our obligations under the transition services arrangements supporting TIH in a cost-effective and efficient manner;
•our ability to develop, maintain, and market our products or services or to absorb unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with those products or services;
•our ability to innovate, to anticipate the needs of current or future clients, to successfully compete, to increase or hold market share in changing competitive environments, or to deal with pricing or other competitive pressures;

•the credit, liquidity, or other financial condition of our clients, counterparties, service providers, or competitors;

•the efficacy of our methods or models in assessing business strategies or opportunities or in valuing, measuring, estimating, monitoring, or managing positions or risk;
•our ability to keep pace with changes in technology that affect us or our clients, counterparties, service providers, or competitors or to maintain rights or interests in associated intellectual property;
•our ability to attract, hire, and retain key teammates and to engage in adequate succession planning;
•the performance and availability of third-party service providers on whom we rely in delivering products and services to our clients and otherwise in conducting our business and operations;
•our ability to detect, prevent, mitigate, and otherwise manage the risk of fraud or misconduct by internal or external parties; our ability to manage and mitigate physical-security and cybersecurity risks, including denial-of-service attacks, hacking, phishing, social-engineering attacks, malware intrusion, data-corruption attempts, system breaches, identity theft, ransomware attacks, environmental conditions, and intentional acts of destruction;
•natural or other disasters, calamities, and conflicts, including terrorist events, cyber-warfare, and pandemics;
•widespread outages of operational, communication, and other systems;
•our ability to maintain appropriate corporate responsibility practices, oversight, and disclosures;

Any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf speaks only as of the date that it was made. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of events, circumstances, or results that arise after the date that the statement was made, except as required by applicable securities laws. You, however, should consult further disclosures (including disclosures of a forward-looking nature) that we may make in any subsequent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Current Report on Form 8-K.
Unless the context otherwise requires, “sale of TIH” and similar phrases refer to the sale of our majority stake in TIH on May 6, 2024.

(1)Cash flows of discontinued operations are reflected within operating, investing, and financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The cash balance of these operations were reported as assets of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets prior to the sale of TIH. Refer to “Note 2. Discontinued Operations” for additional information related to discontinued operations.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.
8 Truist Financial Corporation
NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation
General
See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this Report for terms used herein. These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q, and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flow activity required in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The information contained in the financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The Company updated its accounting policies in connection with recently adopted accounting standards, as applicable, which are described in this footnote. There were no other significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Discontinued Operations
The Company classifies assets and liabilities as held for sale when management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group, the sale is probable to occur within one year, and the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The Company also considers whether an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, whether the disposal group is marketed actively for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and whether actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. An asset or business that meets the criteria for held for sale classification is reported as discontinued operations when the disposal represents a strategic shift that has had or will have a major effect on the Company’s operating results.
Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for prior periods commencing in the period in which the asset or business meets all of the held for sale criteria described above. Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax, is separately reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income for current and prior periods commencing in the period in which the asset or business meets all of the held for sale criteria described above, including any gain or loss recognized on the sale or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less cost to sell.
Certain activity of TIH impacting the Company's footnote disclosures has been removed or revised. The footnote disclosures included herein are presented on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted.
Refer to “Note 2. Discontinued Operations” for additional information.
Segment Realignment
Effective January 1, 2024, several business activities were realigned reflecting updates to the Company’s operating structure. First, the CB&W segment was renamed CSBB and the C&CB segment was renamed WB. Second, the Wealth business was realigned into the WB segment from the CSBB segment, representing a separate reporting unit in that segment. Third, the small business banking client segmentation was realigned into the CSBB segment from the WB segment. Further, TIH was the principal legal entity of the IH segment. As the operations of TIH were included in discontinued operations prior to the sale of TIH, the Company no longer presents the IH segment as one of its reportable segments. The segment disclosures have been revised to reflect the new structure. Refer to “Note 18. Operating Segments” for additional information.
Reclassifications
In addition to the reclassifications discussed above in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income, and certain footnotes for discontinued operations and the segment realignment, as applicable, certain other amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Truist Financial Corporation 9
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the ACL; determination of fair value for securities, MSRs, LHFS, trading loans, and derivative assets and liabilities; goodwill and other intangible assets; income taxes; and pension and postretirement benefit obligations.

NOTE 2. Discontinued Operations
On February 20, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the remaining stake of the common equity in TIH to an investor group led by Stone Point Capital LLC and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice for a purchase price that implied an enterprise value for TIH of $15.5 billion. The divestiture of TIH represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on our operations and financial results. The Company reclassified all of the assets and liabilities of TIH to discontinued operations in connection with the announcement of the disposition of the business. As such, financial information attributed to TIH has been recast to reflect discontinued operations for the periods presented herein. The following footnotes reflect impacts of discontinued operations: “Note 1. Basis of Presentation,” “Note 2. Discontinued Operations,” “Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” “Note 8. Other Assets and Liabilities,” “Note 12. Income Taxes,” “Note 13. Benefit Plans,” “Note 17. Computation of EPS,” and “Note 18. Operating Segments.”

In connection with the sale of TIH, the Company has entered into various agreements with entities controlled by the buyers and TIH, including a transition services agreement and several commercial agreements, ranging from one to seven years. The transition services agreement includes the following support services: information technology, finance and accounting, human resources, marketing and communications, procurement, and real estate. The Company is compensated for such services on a monthly basis. The commercial agreements represent arrangements for both the Company and TIH to continue engaging in certain business activities after the completion of the sale. Such activities include referral services and certain insurance brokerage and administration services. In addition, TIH retained its depository relationship with Truist Bank after completion of the sale. As of May 6, 2024 TIH held $1.5 billion of deposits at Truist Bank, which are no longer eliminated as a result of the deconsolidation of the TIH subsidiary from Truist effective with completion of the sale. Prior to the sale of TIH, such deposits were not presented in assets of discontinued operations as they were eliminated upon consolidation.

NOTE 3. Securities Financing Activities
Securities purchased under agreements to resell are primarily collateralized by U.S. government or agency securities and are carried at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently sold, plus accrued interest. Securities borrowed are primarily collateralized by corporate securities. The Company borrows securities and purchases securities under agreements to resell as part of its securities financing activities. On the acquisition date of these securities, the Company and the related counterparty agree on the amount of collateral required to secure the principal amount loaned under these arrangements. The Company monitors collateral values daily and calls for additional collateral to be provided as warranted under the respective agreements. The following table presents securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell:

For securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the Company would be obligated to provide additional collateral in the event of a significant decline in fair value of the collateral pledged. This risk is managed by monitoring the liquidity and credit quality of the collateral, as well as the maturity profile of the transactions. Refer to “Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information related to pledged securities.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no ACL was established for AFS or HTM securities. Substantially all of the unrealized losses on the securities portfolio were the result of changes in market interest rates compared to the date the securities were acquired rather than the credit quality of the issuers or underlying loans. The Company does not expect to incur any credit losses on investment securities.
The following table presents gross securities gains and losses recognized in earnings:

(1)Includes $485 million pre-tax gain on terminated hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Following the sale of TIH, Truist executed a strategic balance sheet repositioning of a portion of its AFS investment securities portfolio by selling $27.7 billion of lower-yielding investment securities, resulting in an after-tax loss of $5.1 billion in the second quarter of 2024. The investment securities that were sold had a book value of $34.4 billion including the impact of hedges. Truist invested approximately $18.7 billion of the sale proceeds in shorter duration, higher-yielding investment securities.

(1)Includes the amounts for the ALLL for PCD acquisitions, the impact of adopting the Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures accounting standard, and other activity.
(2)Truist sold its student loan portfolio at the end of the second quarter of 2023.
The commercial ALLL decreased $16 million and the consumer ALLL increased $2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in the commercial ALLL primarily reflects a decrease in commercial loan balances that was partially offset by an increased reserve rate in the commercial real estate portfolio. The change in the consumer ALLL primarily reflects lower loan balances that were largely offset by a higher reserve rate on the nonprime auto lending portfolio. The commercial ALLL increased $11 million and the consumer ALLL decreased $23 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the commercial ALLL primarily reflects an increase in reserves related to the CRE and commercial construction portfolios, partially offset by a decrease in commercial loan balances. The change in the consumer ALLL was primarily driven by a decrease in loan balances that was partially offset by an increase in reserve rates related to certain consumer non-real estate portfolios.
The quantitative models have been designed to estimate losses using macro-economic forecasts over a reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years, followed by a reversion to long-term historical loss conditions over a one-year period. Forecasts of macroeconomic variables used in loss forecasting include, but are not limited to, unemployment trends, U.S. real GDP, corporate credit spreads, property values, home price indices, and used car prices.
The overall economic forecast incorporates a third-party baseline forecast that is adjusted to reflect Truist’s interest rate outlook. Management also considers optimistic and pessimistic third-party macro-economic forecasts in order to capture uncertainty in the economic environment. These forecasts, along with the primary economic forecast, are weighted 40% baseline, 30% optimistic, and 30% pessimistic in the June 30, 2024 ACL, unchanged since December 31, 2023. While the scenario weightings were unchanged, the economic outlook relative to the prior period varied by economic variable and time period. The economic outlook generally reflected improvement in the Housing Price Index, softness in GDP growth, and no material change in forecasted unemployment compared to the prior quarter. The overall economic forecast shaping the ACL estimate at June 30, 2024 included GDP growth in the low-single digits and an unemployment rate near the mid-single digits.
Quantitative models have certain limitations with respect to estimating expected losses, particularly in times of rapidly changing macro-economic conditions and forecasts. As a result, management believes that the qualitative component of the ACL, which incorporates management’s expert judgment related to expected future credit losses, will continue to be an important component of the ACL for the foreseeable future. The June 30, 2024 ACL estimate includes adjustments to consider the impact of current and expected events or risks not captured by the loss forecasting models, the outcomes of which are uncertain and may not be completely considered by quantitative models. Refer to “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information.

The tables above exclude trial modifications totaling $48 million and $88 million as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such modifications will be included in the modification activity disclosure if the borrower successfully completes the trial period and the loan modification is finalized.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Truist had $474 million and $702 million, respectively, in unfunded lending commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for which Truist has modified the terms of the receivables in the ways described above during the twelve months preceding June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Upon Truist’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.
Truist closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table summarizes the period-end delinquency status and amortized cost of loans that were modified in the last 12 months. The period-end delinquency status of loans that were modified are disclosed at amortized cost and reflect the impact of any paydowns, payoffs, and/or charge-offs that occurred subsequent to modification.

NOTE 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Effective January 1, 2024, several business activities were realigned reflecting updates to the Company’s operating structure. First, the CB&W segment was renamed CSBB and the C&CB segment was renamed WB. Second, the Wealth business was realigned into the WB segment from the CSBB segment, representing a separate reporting unit in that segment. Third, the small business banking client segmentation was realigned into the CSBB segment from the WB segment. Further, TIH was the principal legal entity of the IH segment. As the operations of TIH were included in discontinued operations prior to the sale of TIH, the Company no longer presents the IH segment as one of its reportable segments. Following the realignment of these business activities, the Company’s three reporting units with goodwill balances are CSBB, WB, and Wealth.
In conjunction with these realignments, goodwill of $1.7 billion was realigned to WB from CSBB based on the relative fair value of CSBB and Wealth, and goodwill of $220 million was realigned to CSBB from WB based on the relative fair value of WB and the realigned small business banking client segmentation. In addition, the Company completed an assessment of any potential goodwill impairment for all impacted reporting units immediately prior and subsequent to the realignments and determined that no impairment existed. The quantitative valuation of WB performed in conjunction with these goodwill realignments indicated that as of January 1, 2024, the fair value of the WB reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%, indicating that the goodwill of the WB reporting unit may be at risk of impairment.
The Company monitored events and circumstances during the period from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024, including macroeconomic and market factors, industry and banking sector events, Truist specific performance indicators, a comparison of management’s forecast and assumptions to those used in its January 1, 2024 quantitative valuations associated with the realignments of goodwill, and the sensitivity of the January 1, 2024 quantitative results to changes in assumptions as of June 30, 2024. Based on these considerations, Truist concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of one or more of its reporting units is below its respective carrying amount as of June 30, 2024.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to operating segments are reflected in the table below. Activity during 2024 primarily relates to the segment realignment described above. Refer to “Note 2. Discontinued Operations” for additional information related to discontinued operations and “Note 18. Operating Segments” for additional information on segments.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the above table, the effect of an adverse variation in one assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change. See “Note 15. Fair Value Disclosures” for additional information on the valuation techniques used.

NOTE 12. Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the benefit from income taxes was $1.3 billion compared to a provision for income taxes totaling $230 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, representing effective tax rates of 25.3% and 16.4%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the benefit from income taxes was $1.1 billion and the provision for income taxes was $591 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing effective tax rates of 28.3% and 18.6%, respectively. The tax benefit on the pre-tax loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven by the discrete impact of the balance sheet repositioning of securities. The Company calculated the provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income and adjusting for discrete items that occurred during the period.
NOTE 13. Benefit Plans
The components of net periodic (benefit) cost for defined benefit pension plans are summarized in the following table:

Truist may make contributions to the qualified pension plans up to the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. Truist did not make a discretionary contribution to the pension plan during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Following the sale of TIH, Truist retained the postretirement benefit obligation for TIH employees and changed the status of TIH employees by eliminating their eligibility to earn future service credits. Changes in pension plan obligations associated with the disposal of operating segments such as TIH require the remeasurement of postretirement benefit obligations prior to the disposal, updates to pension plan assumptions inherent in valuations, and identification and recognition of valuation changes specific to the sale, including the establishment of a new periodic service cost using assumptions as of the remeasurement date. The remeasurement process of impacted pension plans included a reduction in pension benefit obligations of $783 million, primarily driven by an increase in the weighted average assumed discount rate from 5.12% to 5.78%, and a decrease in the value of plan assets by $508 million, primarily driven by market prices. The impact of the sale on Truist pension plans resulted in a reduction of pension benefit obligations by $97 million which was recorded as a reduction of AOCI. Refer to “Note 11. AOCI” for additional information.

Total Return Swaps
The Company enters into TRS transactions with third party clients, whereby a VIE purchases reference assets identified by a client. The Company financially supports the VIE’s purchases of the reference assets. Reference assets are typically fixed income instruments primarily composed of syndicated bank loans. The TRS contracts pass through interest and other cash flows on the reference assets to the third-party clients, along with exposing those clients to decreases in value on the reference assets and providing them with the rights to appreciation on the reference assets. The terms of the TRS contracts require the third party clients to post initial margin collateral, as well as ongoing variation margin as the fair values of the underlying reference assets change. The following table provides a summary of the TRS transactions with the associated VIE referenced assets, which include trading loans and bonds:

The Company concluded that the associated VIEs should be consolidated because the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits, which could potentially be significant. The activities of the VIEs are restricted to buying and selling the reference assets, and the risks/benefits of any such assets owned by the VIEs are passed to the third-party clients via the TRS contracts. For additional information on TRS contracts and the related VIEs, see “Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments.”
Pledged Assets
Certain assets were pledged to secure municipal deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, certain derivative agreements, and borrowings or borrowing capacity, as well as to fund certain obligations related to nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. Assets pledged to the FHLB and FRB are subject to applicable asset discounts when determining borrowing capacity. The Company has capacity for secured financing from both the FRB and FHLB and letters of credit from the FHLB. The Company’s letters of credit from the FHLB can be used to secure various client deposits, including public fund relationships. Excluding assets related to nonqualified benefit plans, the majority of the agreements governing the pledged assets do not permit the other party to sell or repledge the collateral.

Legal Proceedings and Other Matters
Truist and its subsidiaries are routinely named as defendants in or parties to numerous actual or threatened legal proceedings and other matters and are or may be subject to potential liability in connection with them. The legal proceedings and other matters may be formal or informal and include litigation and arbitration with one or more identified claimants, certified or purported class actions with yet-to-be-identified claimants, and regulatory or other governmental information-gathering requests, examinations, investigations, and enforcement proceedings. Claims may be based in law or equity—such as those arising under contracts or in tort and those involving banking, consumer-protection, securities, antitrust, tax, employment, and other laws—and some present novel legal theories, allegations of substantial or indeterminate damages, demands for injunctive or similar relief, and requests for fines, penalties, restitution, or alterations in Truist’s business practices. Our legal proceedings and other matters exist in varying stages of adjudication, arbitration, negotiation, or investigation and span our business lines and operations.
The course and outcome of legal proceedings and other matters are inherently unpredictable. This is especially so when a matter is still in its early stages, the damages sought are indeterminate or unsupported, significant facts are unclear or disputed, novel questions of law or other meaningful legal uncertainties exist, a request to certify a proceeding as a class action is outstanding or granted, multiple parties are named, or regulatory or other governmental entities are involved. As a result, we often are unable to determine how or when actual or threatened legal proceedings and other matters will be resolved and what losses may be incrementally and ultimately incurred. It is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, including those described below, if unfavorable, may be material to the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows of Truist, or cause significant reputational consequences.
Truist Financial Corporation 35
Truist establishes accruals for legal proceedings and other matters when potential losses become probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Accruals are evaluated each quarter and may be adjusted, upward or downward, based on our best judgment after consultation with counsel and others. No assurance exists that our accruals will not need to be adjusted in the future. Actual losses may be higher or lower than any amounts accrued, possibly to a significant degree.
The Company estimates reasonably possible losses, in excess of amounts accrued, of up to approximately $375 million as of June 30, 2024. This estimate does not represent Truist’s maximum loss exposure, and actual losses may vary significantly. Also, the outcome of a particular matter may be one that the Company did not take into account in its estimate because the Company judged the likelihood of that outcome to be remote. In addition, the matters underlying this estimate may change from time to time. Estimated losses, like accruals, are based upon currently available information and involve considerable uncertainties and judgment.
For certain matters, Truist may be unable to estimate the loss or range of loss, even if it believes that a loss is probable or reasonably possible, until developments in the matter provide additional information sufficient to support such an estimate. These matters are not accrued for and are not reflected in the estimate of reasonably possible losses.
The following is a description of certain legal proceedings and other matters in which Truist is involved:
Bickerstaff v. SunTrust Bank
This class action case was filed in Fulton County State Court on July 12, 2010, and an amended complaint was filed on August 9, 2010. Plaintiff alleges that all overdraft fees charged to his account which related to debit card and ATM transactions are actually interest charges and therefore subject to the usury laws of Georgia. The amended complaint asserts claims for violations of civil and criminal usury laws, conversion, and money had and received, and seeks damages on a class-wide basis, including refunds of challenged overdraft fees and pre-judgment interest. On October 6, 2017, the trial court granted plaintiff’s motion for class certification and defined the class as “Every Georgia citizen who had or has one or more accounts with SunTrust Bank and who, from July 12, 2006, to October 6, 2017 (i) had at least one overdraft of $500.00 or less resulting from an ATM or debit card transaction (the “Transaction”); (ii) paid any Overdraft Fees as a result of the Transaction; and (iii) did not receive a refund of those Fees,” and the granting of a certified class was affirmed on appeal. The class seeks a return of up to $452 million in paid overdraft fees from the 2006 to 2017 period above, plus prejudgment interest which, based on the amount of claimed fees, was estimated to be approximately $415 million as of June 30, 2024. A court-ordered mediation was held on February 28, 2024, but no resolution was reached. On March 4, 2024, the trial court issued an order granting in part and denying in part Truist’s motions to amend the class definition to narrow the scope of the class, to compel arbitration against certain class members, and for summary judgment. Truist and the class have separately appealed the trial court’s order to the Georgia Court of Appeals.
Recordkeeping Matters
The SEC and CFTC have requested information from various subsidiaries of the Company that conduct broker-dealer, investment adviser, and swap dealer activities regarding compliance with applicable recordkeeping requirements for business-related electronic communications. The Company has cooperated with these requests and is in advanced discussions regarding resolutions of these matters with the agencies, though there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these discussions.
Investigation Regarding Trusts
In 2016 and 2018, the Civil Division of the U.S. DOJ issued subpoenas to a corporate predecessor of Truist Bank under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act. These subpoenas requested documents and other information related to specified trusts for which Truist Bank serves as trustee. Truist Bank is continuing to cooperate in the investigation and is in discussions regarding resolution of this matter, though there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these discussions.
FDIC Special Assessment
In November 2023, the FDIC issued a final rule to implement a special assessment to recoup losses to the DIF associated with bank failures in the first half of 2023. The assessment is based on an insured depository institution’s estimated uninsured deposits reported as of December 31, 2022. The special assessment for Truist is $595 million, with $507 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2023 and additional adjustments of $75 million and $13 million recognized in the first and second quarters of 2024, respectively, due to increases in the estimated relevant losses to the DIF reported by the FDIC. In June 2024, the FDIC provided notification that the collection period will be extended an additional two quarters beyond the initial eight quarterly installments. The special assessment will be paid in ten quarterly installments beginning in the second quarter of 2024. The ultimate amount of expenses associated with the special assessment will also be impacted by the finalization of the losses incurred by the FDIC in the resolutions of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which could result in additional expense.

NOTE 15. Fair Value Disclosures
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants, with a three-level measurement hierarchy:
•Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets
•Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets
•Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable
The following tables present fair value information for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

(1)Refer to “Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional discussion on netting adjustments.
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, investments totaling $483 million and $459 million, respectively, have been excluded from the table above as they are valued based on net asset value as a practical expedient. These investments primarily consist of certain SBIC funds.
The following discussion focuses on the valuation techniques and significant inputs for brokered time deposit liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. For additional information on the valuation techniques and significant inputs for Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, see “Note 18. Fair Value Disclosures” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Brokered time deposits: The Company has elected to measure certain CDs that contain embedded derivatives at fair value. This fair value election better aligns the economics of the CDs with the Company’s risk management strategies. The Company elects, on an instrument by instrument basis, whether a new issuance will be measured at fair value. The Company has classified CDs measured at fair value as level 2 instruments due to the Company’s ability to observe all significant inputs to model-derived valuations in active markets. The Company employs a discounted cash flow approach based on observable market interest rates for the term of the CD and an estimate of the Bank’s credit risk. For any embedded derivative features, the Company uses the same valuation methodologies as if the derivative were a standalone derivative, as discussed in the “Derivative assets and liabilities” section in “Note 18. Fair Value Disclosures” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

LHFS with valuation adjustments in the table above consisted primarily of residential mortgages and commercial loans that were valued using market prices and measured at LOCOM. The table above excludes $167 million and $409 million of LHFS carried at cost at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that did not require a valuation adjustment during the period. The remainder of LHFS is carried at fair value.
Loans and leases consist of larger commercial loans and leases that are collateral-dependent and other secured loans and leases that have been charged-off to the fair value of the collateral. Valuation adjustments for loans and leases are primarily recorded in the Provision for credit losses in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Refer to “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional discussion of individually evaluated loans and leases.
Other includes foreclosed real estate, other foreclosed property, partnership investments, premises and equipment, OREO, and held for sale operating leases, and consists primarily of residential homes, commercial properties, vacant lots, and automobiles. Partnership investments are measured based on discounted expected future cash flows. The remaining assets are measured at LOCOM, less costs to sell.
Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value
For financial instruments not recorded at fair value, estimates of fair value are based on relevant market data and information about the instruments. Values obtained relate to trading without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales, or the relationship between various instruments.
An active market does not exist for certain financial instruments. Fair value estimates for these instruments are based on current economic conditions and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience, and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. Financial assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value are summarized below:

Further, as of June 30, 2024, closed portfolios of securities hedged under the portfolio layer method have an amortized cost of $28.6 billion, of which $11.8 billion was designated as hedged. The remaining amount of amortized cost is from securities with terminated hedges where the basis adjustment is being amortized into earnings using the effective interest method over the contractual life of the security and hedges not designated under the portfolio-layer method.
(2)The decline in hedged AFS securities from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024 was due to the balance sheet repositioning in May 2024. Refer to “Note 4. Investment Securities” for additional information.

Credit Derivative Instruments
As part of the Company’s corporate and investment banking business, the Company enters into contracts that are, in form or substance, written guarantees; specifically, risk participations, TRS, and credit default swaps. The Company accounts for these contracts as derivatives.
Truist has entered into risk participation agreements to share the credit exposure with other financial institutions on client-related interest rate derivative contracts. Under these agreements, the Company has guaranteed payment to a dealer counterparty in the event the counterparty experiences a loss on the derivative due to a failure to pay by the counterparty’s client. The Company manages its payment risk on its risk participations by monitoring the creditworthiness of the underlying client through the normal credit review process that the Company would have performed had it entered into a derivative directly with the obligors. At June 30, 2024, the remaining terms on these risk participations ranged from less than one year to 13 years. The potential future exposure represents the Company’s maximum estimated exposure to written risk participations, as measured by projecting a maximum value of the guaranteed derivative instruments based on scenario simulations and assuming 100% default by all obligors on the maximum value.
The Company has also entered into TRS contracts on loans and bonds. To mitigate its credit risk, the Company typically receives initial margin from the counterparty upon entering into the TRS and variation margin if the fair value of the underlying reference assets deteriorates. For additional information on the Company’s TRS contracts, see “Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies.”
The Company enters into credit default swaps to hedge credit risk associated with certain loans and leases. The Company accounts for these contracts as derivatives, and accordingly, recognizes these contracts at fair value.

NOTE 18. Operating Segments
Effective January 1, 2024, several business activities were realigned reflecting updates to the Company’s operating structure. First, the CB&W segment was renamed CSBB and the C&CB segment was renamed WB. Second, the Wealth business was realigned into the WB segment from the CSBB segment, representing a separate reporting unit in that segment. Third, the small business banking client segmentation was realigned into the CSBB segment from the WB segment.
Following the segment realignment, Truist operates and measures business activity across two segments: CSBB and WB, with functional activities included in OT&C. The Company’s business segment structure is based on the manner in which financial information is evaluated by management as well as the products and services provided or the type of client served.
On February 20, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the remaining stake of the common equity in TIH to an investor group, representing substantially all of the Company’s IH segment, which represented a material strategic shift for the Company, and as a result, the Company recast results for all periods presented under the discontinued operations basis of presentation. On May 6, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its remaining equity interests in TIH. TIH was the principal legal entity of the IH segment. As the operations of TIH were included in discontinued operations prior to the sale of TIH, the Company no longer presents the IH segment as one of its reportable segments. Refer to “Note 2. Discontinued Operations” for additional information related to discontinued operations.
Consumer and Small Business Banking
CSBB serves consumer and small business clients, providing deposits and payment services, credit cards, loans, and mortgages through an extensive network of branches, ATMs, digital channels, contact centers, and other channels. Lending solutions include personal and unsecured loans originated through the branch network and digital channels; indirect lending services providing a comprehensive set of technology-enabled consumer lending solutions including point-of-sale offerings for autos, recreational vehicles, outdoor power sports, equipment, and home improvement; and real estate lending providing residential mortgages through its retail, direct, and correspondent channels, with the loans either sold in the secondary market, typically with servicing rights retained, or held in the Company’s loan portfolio, and home equity loans delivered through the branch network. CSBB also serves as an entry point for clients to access services from other businesses.
Wholesale Banking
WB segment delivers a comprehensive suite of tailored solutions with specialized product and industry expertise delivered through local coverage of corporate, commercial, and real estate clients combined with national coverage from investment banking and commercial real estate businesses. This segment is focused on providing core banking, cash management, payments, specialized lending, investment banking, capital markets, strategic advisory, and market-making. In addition to the services provided by Truist’s SEC registered investment advisors, Truist’s wealth professionals provide asset management, trust, brokerage, and investment-related services, institutional investment management, full-service, and online/discount brokerage products, family office services, as well as other wealth management disciplines.
46 Truist Financial Corporation
Other, Treasury & Corporate
OT&C includes management of the Company’s investment securities portfolio, long-term debt, derivative instruments used for balance sheet hedging, short-term liquidity and funding activities, balance sheet risk management and most real estate assets, as well as the Company’s functional activities such as finance, enterprise risk, legal, and enterprise technology and management, among others. Additionally, OT&C houses intercompany eliminations, including intersegment net referral fees and residual interest rate risk.
Truist promotes revenue growth through the Company’s Integrated Relationship Management approach, which is designed to deepen client relationships and bring the full breadth and depth of Truist’s products and services to meet clients’ financial needs. The objective is to provide Truist’s entire suite of products to its clients with the end goal of providing clients the best financial experience in the marketplace. Revenues of certain products and services are reflected in the results of the segment providing those products and services and are also allocated to CSBB and WB. These allocated revenues between segments are reflected as net referral fees in noninterest income and eliminated in OT&C.
The segment results are presented based on internal management methodologies that were designed to support these strategic objectives. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to GAAP. The performance of the segments is not comparable with Truist’s consolidated results or with similar information presented by any other financial institution. Additionally, because of the interrelationships between the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.
Because business segment results are presented based on management accounting practices, the transition to the consolidated results prepared under U.S. GAAP creates certain differences, which are reflected as residuals in OT&C. Business segment reporting conventions include, but are not limited to, the items as detailed below.
Segment net interest income reflects matched maturity funds transfer pricing, which ascribes credits or charges based on the economic value or cost created by assets and liabilities of each segment. Residual differences between these credits and charges are captured in OT&C.
Noninterest income includes inter-segment referral fees, as well as federal and state tax credits that are grossed up on a pre-tax equivalent basis, related primarily to certain community development investments. Recoveries for these allocations are reported in OT&C.
Corporate expense allocations, including overhead or functional expenses that are not directly charged to the segments, are allocated to segments based on various drivers (number of FTEs, number of accounts, loan balances, net revenue, etc.). Recoveries for these allocations are reported in OT&C.
Provision for credit losses represents net charge-offs by segment combined with an allocation to the segments for the provision attributable to each segment’s quarterly change in the ALLL. Provision for income taxes is calculated using a blended income tax rate for each segment and includes reversals of the noninterest income tax adjustments described above. The difference between the calculated provision for income taxes at the segment level and the consolidated provision for income taxes is reported in OT&C.
The application and development of management reporting methodologies is an active process and undergoes periodic enhancements. The implementation of these enhancements to the internal management reporting methodology may materially affect the results disclosed for each segment, with no impact on consolidated results. When significant changes to management reporting methodologies take place, the impact of these changes is quantified and prior period information is revised as practicable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MD&A is intended to assist readers in their analysis of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and supplemental financial information. It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, other information contained in this document, as well as with Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
A description of certain factors that may affect our future results and risk factors is set forth in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Regulatory and Supervisory Considerations
We are subject to significant regulatory frameworks that affect the products and services that we may offer and the manner in which we may offer them, the risks that we may take, the ways in which we may operate, and the corporate and financial actions that we may take. We are also subject to direct supervision and periodic examinations by various governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations that are charged with overseeing the kinds of business activities in which we engage. The regulatory and supervisory framework applicable to banking organizations is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and other customers, the DIF, the broader economy, and the stability of the U.S. financial system, rather than for the protection of shareholders and non-deposit creditors. In addition to banking laws and regulations, Truist is subject to various other laws and regulations, all of which directly or indirectly affect the operations and management of Truist and its ability to make distributions to shareholders. The descriptions below summarize certain updates to significant federal and state laws to which Truist is subject since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. These descriptions do not summarize all possible or proposed changes in laws or regulations and are not intended to be a substitute for the related statutes or regulatory provisions. Refer to “Regulatory and Supervisory Considerations” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional disclosures.
In November 2023, the FDIC issued a final rule to implement a special assessment to recoup losses to the DIF associated with bank failures in the first half of 2023. The assessment is based on an insured depository institution’s estimated uninsured deposits reported as of December 31, 2022. The special assessment for Truist is $595 million, with $507 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2023 and additional adjustments of $75 million and $13 million recognized in the first and second quarters of 2024, respectively, due to increases in the estimated relevant losses to the DIF reported by the FDIC. In June 2024, the FDIC provided notification that the collection period will be extended an additional two quarters beyond the initial eight quarterly installments. The special assessment will be paid in ten quarterly installments beginning in the second quarter of 2024. The ultimate amount of expenses associated with the special assessment will also be impacted by the finalization of the losses incurred by the FDIC in the resolutions of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which could result in additional expense.
In March 2024, the FDIC released proposed revisions to its statement of policy on bank merger transactions. The proposal reflects regulatory, legislative, and industry changes since the statement of policy was last published for comment and amended, makes the statement more principles-based, communicates the FDIC Board’s expectations regarding the evaluation of merger applications filed under the Bank Merger Act, and describes the types of merger applications for which the FDIC is the responsible agency. Also, in July 2024, the FDIC released a proposed rule to amend its regulations under the Change in Bank Control Act, which generally provides that no person may directly or indirectly acquire control of an insured depository institution unless the person has given the appropriate federal banking agency prior notice of the proposed transaction and the agency has not disapproved it. The FDIC’s regulations contain a rebuttable presumption that the acquisition of voting securities of a holding company like Truist that directly or indirectly controls an insured state nonmember bank like Truist Bank constitutes such an acquisition of control requiring prior notice to the FDIC if, immediately after the transaction, the acquiring person will own, control, or hold with power to vote 10 percent or more of any class of voting securities of the holding company and other specified conditions are met. The proposed rule removes an explicit exemption for transactions where the FRB reviews a notice under the Change in Bank Control Act. In addition, the FDIC seeks information and comment about its approach in response to these notices, including the role played by asset managers and other institutional investors with FDIC-supervised institutions. We continue to evaluate both proposals and the potential impacts, if adopted as proposed, on the Company and Truist Bank.
The FRB’s capital plan rule provides that a BHC must update and resubmit its capital plan if the BHC determines there has been or will be a material change in its risk profile, financial condition, or corporate structure since it last submitted the capital plan. Truist determined that the sale of our remaining equity interests in TIH constituted such a material change and, therefore, addressed the material change in our capital plan submitted in April 2024. The capital plan rule further provides that, upon the occurrence of an event requiring resubmission and pending the FRB’s consideration of the resubmitted capital plan, a BHC may not make any capital distribution unless it has received prior approval of the FRB. In July 2024, the FRB notified Truist that the FRB’s prior approval was no longer required to make capital distributions in connection with the April 2024 capital plan.

In June 2024, the FDIC adopted a final rule to significantly modify the required frequency and informational content of resolution plan submissions applicable to insured depository institutions with $50 billion or more in total assets. As a covered insured depository institution in group A under the rule, Truist Bank must develop an identified strategy for its resolution that is adaptable across a range of possible failure scenarios. The rule also introduces a new credibility standard for evaluating the adequacy of resolution plan submissions. The contours of the FDIC’s application of this new credibility standard remain to be seen and may require the exercise of a meaningful degree of judgment by the FDIC. A failure by Truist Bank to satisfy the credibility standard, or any other provision of the rule, may cause the FDIC to require Truist Bank to reconsider portions of its resolution plan or result in an enforcement action by the FDIC. Truist Bank will be required to submit to the FDIC full resolution plans every three years and interim targeted information between full resolution plan submissions. The final rule is effective October 1, 2024, and the first full resolution plan submission by Truist Bank will be due no sooner than 270 days after the effective date.
In August 2024, the FDIC and the FRB issued final joint guidance regarding resolution plans submitted by large bank holding companies. Truist, as a domestic triennial full filer under the rule, is required to submit a resolution plan every three years, beginning on October 1, 2025, which reflects the characteristics of the firm and its business operations and supports the goal of substantially mitigating serious adverse effects on the financial stability of the United States in the event of the firm’s failure. The agencies have not yet finalized a rule requiring large bank holding companies to issue long-term debt that would serve as pre-positioned resolution resources in the event of a firm’s failure. The long-term debt rule, when finalized, may have an impact on Truist’s resolution plan strategy which may result in revisions to its resolution plan submission.
Executive Overview
In the second quarter, we continued to see solid momentum in our core banking businesses as evidenced by strong year-over-year growth in investment banking and trading revenue and continued expense discipline. Client deposits stabilized, and asset quality metrics remained within our expectations. While loan demand remained muted, we were encouraged by an improvement in our dialogue with clients and our expanded capacity to support their needs.
On May 6, 2024, we completed the divestiture of TIH. We utilized a portion of the capital created from the sale of TIH to reposition our balance sheet, which is expected to replace TIH’s earnings contribution, create additional liquidity, and improve our interest rate risk profile. These actions along with organic capital generation resulted in an increase to our CET1 capital ratio to 11.6%. Financial information attributed to TIH has been reflected in discontinued operations for the periods presented within and, unless otherwise stated, the following discussion excludes amounts reported as discontinued operations. Refer to “Note 2. Discontinued Operations” for additional information.
The sale of TIH resulted in after-tax cash proceeds to Truist of approximately $10.1 billion, reflecting certain closing adjustments for cash, debt and debt-like items, including the settlement of certain previously granted TIH equity awards, working capital, transaction expenses and an investor return amount associated with the originally sold 20% stake. Upon closing, the transaction resulted in the deconsolidation of the TIH subsidiary from Truist and resulted in an approximate after-tax gain of $4.8 billion. Additionally, following the sale, Truist retained the related postretirement benefit obligation for TIH employees, and remeasured the postretirement benefit obligation of the plan in the second quarter of 2024. Refer to “Note 2. Discontinued Operations” for additional information related to discontinued operations and “Note 13. Benefit Plans” for additional information related to the postretirement benefit obligation remeasurement.
Following the sale of TIH, Truist executed a strategic balance sheet repositioning of a portion of its AFS investment securities portfolio by selling $27.7 billion of lower-yielding investment securities, resulting in an after-tax loss of $5.1 billion in the second quarter of 2024. The investment securities that were sold had a book value of $34.4 billion and a weighted average book yield of 2.80% for the remainder of 2024 including the impact of hedges and based on the Federal Funds futures curve at the time. Including the tax benefit, the repositioning generated $29.3 billion available for reinvestment.
Truist invested approximately $18.7 billion of the $39.4 billion generated from the sale of TIH and the balance sheet repositioning in shorter duration investment securities yielding 5.27%. The remaining $20.7 billion was invested in cash. The blended reinvestment rate on the new investment securities purchased and cash is 5.22% for the remainder of 2024 including the impact of hedges and based on the Federal Funds futures curve at the time.
Our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $5 billion of common stock beginning in the third quarter of 2024 through the end of 2026. The most recent FRB stress test highlighted our ability to weather a variety of stressed economic scenarios.
We believe that Truist's strengthened capital position offers us the opportunity to grow our core banking franchise, while also prudently returning capital to our shareholders through our strong dividend and recently announced share repurchase program.
50 Truist Financial Corporation
Following the departure of our CIO in April 2024, we have appointed an interim CIO while our search for a permanent CIO continues. Our interim CIO has 20 years of banking experience across risk management, commercial, consumer, operations, technology, and vertically integrated businesses. He oversees the provision of comprehensive technology, data, security, and information related platforms.
In August 2024, the Company announced the hiring of a new CIO who will join the Company in the fourth quarter of 2024 and will lead the enterprise technology team. The new CIO has over 25 years of experience across a range of technology roles, primarily in the financial services industry.
In July 2024, we successfully completed the sale of Sterling Capital Management LLC, a Wealth business. Cash proceeds and the initial gain recognized on the sale were not material.
Financial Results
Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2024 of $826 million was down 33% compared with the second quarter of 2023. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the second quarter of 2024 were $0.62, a decrease of $0.30, or 33%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Truist’s results of operations for the second quarter of 2024 produced an annualized return on average assets of 0.70% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 6.1% compared to prior year returns of 0.95% and 8.6%, respectively.
Net loss from continuing operations was $3.9 billion for the second quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2023.
•Results from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2024 included securities losses of $6.7 billion ($5.1 billion after-tax, or $3.80 per share), from the strategic balance sheet repositioning of a portion of the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, a charitable contribution to the Truist Foundation of $150 million ($115 million after-tax, or $0.09 per share), and restructuring charges of $33 million ($26 million after-tax, or $0.02 per share).
•Results from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2023 included restructuring charges of $48 million ($37 million after-tax, or $0.03 per share).
Net income from discontinued operations was $4.8 billion for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $176 million for the second quarter of 2023.
•Results from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2024 included a gain on the sale of TIH of $6.9 billion ($4.8 billion after-tax, or $3.60 per share), and restructuring charges of $63 million ($47 million after-tax, or $0.03 per share).
Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2024 was down $77 million, or 2.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher funding costs and lower earning assets, partially offset by the balance sheet repositioning. Net interest margin was 3.03%, up 13 basis points.
•The yield on the average total loan portfolio was 6.44%, up 37 basis points, reflecting higher market interest rates, and the yield on the average securities portfolio was 2.77%, up 60 basis points, reflecting the balance sheet repositioning and higher market interest rates.
•The average cost of total deposits was 2.09%, up 56 basis points. The average cost of short-term borrowings was 5.58%, up 39 basis points. The average cost of long-term debt was 4.87%, up 25 basis points. The increase in rates on deposits and other funding sources was largely attributable to the higher rate environment.
Noninterest income was down $6.6 billion compared to the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to $6.7 billion of securities losses resulting from the balance sheet repositioning and lower other income, partially offset by higher investment banking and trading income and wealth management income. Excluding securities losses, noninterest income was up $58 million compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Noninterest expense was up $48 million, or 1.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2023 due to a $150 million charitable contribution to the Truist Foundation (other expense) and the FDIC special assessment adjustment in the second quarter of 2024 of $13 million (regulatory costs), partially offset by lower personnel expense. Adjusted noninterest expense, which excludes the charitable contribution, the FDIC special assessment adjustment, restructuring charges, the amortization of intangibles, and a small loss on the early extinguishment of debt in 2023, decreased $86 million, or 3.0%, compared to the earlier quarter.
The higher effective tax rate in the current quarter compared to the second quarter of 2023 is due to a tax benefit on the pre-tax loss, which is driven by the discrete impact of the balance sheet repositioning of securities.

•The provision for credit losses was $451 million compared to $538 million for the second quarter of 2023 primarily reflecting a lower allowance build.
•The net charge-off ratio was 58 basis points, up 4 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2023 primarily driven by higher net charge-offs in the CRE, other consumer, indirect auto, and credit card portfolios, partially offset by lower net charge-offs in the commercial and industrial portfolio.

Analysis of Results of Operations
Net Interest Income and NIM
Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2024 was down $77 million, or 2.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher funding costs and lower earning assets, partially offset by the balance sheet repositioning.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was $451 million compared to $538 million for the second quarter of 2023. The net charge-off ratio for the current quarter of 0.58% was up four basis points compared to the prior quarter.
•The decrease in the current quarter provision expense primarily reflects a lower allowance build.
•The net charge-off ratio was up compared to the second quarter of 2023 primarily driven by higher net charge-offs in the CRE, other consumer, indirect auto, and credit card portfolios, partially offset by lower net charge-offs in the commercial and industrial portfolio. Additionally, the second quarter of 2023 included $98 million of charge-offs related to the sale of the student loan portfolio.
The provision for credit losses was $951 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net charge-off ratio for the current period of 0.61% was up 15 basis points compared to the prior period.
•The decrease in the current quarter provision expense primarily reflects a lower allowance build.
•The net charge-off ratio was up compared to the prior period driven by higher charge-offs in the CRE, other consumer, indirect auto, and credit card portfolios. Additionally, the prior period includes the aforementioned sale of the student loan portfolio.
Refer to “Note 5. Loans and ACL” for additional discussion of the ACL.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income is a significant contributor to Truist’s financial results. Management focuses on diversifying its sources of revenue to reduce Truist’s reliance on traditional spread-based interest income, as certain fee-based activities are a relatively stable revenue source during periods of changing interest rates. The following table provides a breakdown of Truist’s noninterest income:

Noninterest expense was up $48 million, or 1.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2023 due to a $150 million charitable contribution to the Truist Foundation (other expense) and the FDIC special assessment adjustment in the second quarter of 2024 of $13 million (regulatory costs), partially offset by lower personnel expense. Adjusted noninterest expense, which excludes the charitable contribution, the FDIC special assessment adjustment, restructuring charges, the amortization of intangibles, and a small loss on the early extinguishment of debt in 2023, decreased $86 million, or 3.0%, compared to the earlier quarter.
•Personnel expense decreased due to lower headcount across most lines of business, partially offset by higher incentives and higher medical claims.
•Other expense increased due to the aforementioned charitable contribution, partially offset by lower pension expenses.
Noninterest expense was down $14 million, or 0.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to a decrease in personnel expense and pension expense (other expenses), partially offset by a $150 million charitable contribution to the Truist Foundation (other expense) in 2024 and FDIC special assessment adjustments in 2024 of $88 million (regulatory costs). Restructuring charges decreased $20 million; both periods included restructuring charges for severance charges as well as facilities optimization costs. Adjusted noninterest expenses, which exclude the charitable contribution, the amortization of intangibles, the FDIC special assessment adjustment, restructuring charges, and a small loss on the early extinguishment of debt, decreased $206 million, or 3.6%.
•Personnel expense decreased due to lower headcount across most lines of business, partially offset by higher incentives and higher other post-retirement benefit expense (which is almost entirely offset by higher other income).
•Other expense, excluding the aforementioned charitable contribution to the Truist Foundation, decreased primarily due to lower pension expense.
Restructuring Charges
The following table presents a summary of restructuring charges and the related accruals. The 2024 restructuring costs predominately reflect various initiatives, including costs for severance and other benefits and costs related to exiting facilities.

Segment Results
Truist operates and measures business activity across two segments: CSBB and WB, with functional activities included in OT&C. The Company’s business segment structure is based on the manner in which financial information is evaluated by management as well as the products and services provided or the type of client served.
Effective January 1, 2024, several business activities were realigned reflecting updates to the Company’s operating structure. First, the CB&W segment was renamed CSBB and the C&CB segment was renamed WB. Second, the Wealth business was realigned into the WB segment from the CSBB segment, representing a separate reporting unit in that segment. Third, the small business banking client segmentation was realigned into the CSBB segment from the WB segment.
On February 20, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the remaining stake of the common equity in TIH to an investor group, representing substantially all of the Company’s IH segment, which represented a material strategic shift for the Company, and as a result, the Company recast results for all periods presented under the discontinued operations basis of presentation. On May 6, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its remaining equity interests in TIH. TIH was the principal legal entity of the IH segment. As the operations of TIH were included in discontinued operations prior to the sale of TIH, the Company no longer presents the IH segment as one of its reportable segments. Refer to “Note 2. Discontinued Operations” for additional information related to discontinued operations.

CSBB net income was $898 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $90 million compared to the second quarter of 2023.
•Segment net interest income was flat primarily driven by higher funding credit on deposits, partially offset by lower average deposit and loan balances.
•The provision for credit losses increased $82 million reflecting an allowance release in the earlier quarter.
•Noninterest income was flat primarily due to decreased service charge fees on deposits and credit card and payment fees, partially offset by increases in other income that were driven by increased loan sales in Service Finance and residential mortgage income.
•Noninterest expense increased $29 million compared to the earlier quarter driven by higher operations support expenses, partially offset by lower salaries expense.
CSBB average loans and leases held for investment decreased $12.3 billion, or 8.9%, for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by the sale of the student loan portfolio at the end of second quarter of 2023 as well as lower loan balances within the prime auto, residential mortgage, small business, unsecured (Lightstream and direct to consumer), and home equity portfolios, partially offset by growth in the outdoor power sports, equipment and home improvement portfolios.
CSBB average total deposits decreased $6.4 billion, or 2.9%, for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by decreases in interest checking, noninterest-bearing deposits, and money market and savings, partially offset by an increase in time deposits.

•The provision for credit losses decreased $167 million which reflects an allowance build in the earlier quarter, partially offset by higher commercial and industrial loan charge-offs.
•Noninterest income increased $100 million compared to the earlier quarter primarily due to higher income from loan syndications, equity and bond origination fees, and wealth management, partially offset by lower income from strategic investments.

•Noninterest income decreased $6.7 billion primarily due to securities losses resulting from the balance sheet repositioning.
•Noninterest expense decreased $32 million compared to the earlier quarter primarily due to credit from other segments for operations support expenses, corporate technology project support, and corporate finance support, partially offset by higher donations and contributions expense due to a charitable contribution to the Truist Foundation.

WB net income was $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, flat compared to the prior year.
•Segment net interest income decreased $227 million primarily due to lower deposit and loan balances combined with higher cost of deposits, partially offset by favorable loan spreads.
•The provision for credit losses decreased $204 million, which primarily reflects a larger allowance build in the earlier period, partially offset by higher commercial and industrial loan charge-offs.
•Noninterest income increased $134 million primarily due to increases in investment banking income across all products and income from wealth management, partially offset by lower income from strategic investments.
•Noninterest expense increased $120 million primarily due to the FDIC special assessment, higher corporate technology, operations support, and corporate finance support expenses, partially offset by lower personnel and restructuring expenses.
WB average loans and leases held for investment decreased $6.4 billion, or 3.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year driven by an increase in the commercial and industrial portfolio.
WB average total deposits decreased $12.3 billion, or 7.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year primarily due to decreases in average noninterest-bearing deposits and money market and savings, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing checking balances.
Other, Treasury, and Corporate
OT&C generated a net loss of $6.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $1.3 billion in the prior year.
•Segment net interest income decreased $259 million due to funding credit on deposits to other segments, partially offset by funding charges primarily on loans to other segments and the balance sheet repositioning.
•Noninterest income decreased $6.6 billion primarily due to securities losses resulting from the balance sheet repositioning.
•Noninterest expense decreased $182 million primarily due to credit from other segments for operations support expenses, corporate technology project support, and corporate finance support, partially offset by higher donations and contributions expense due to a charitable contribution to the Truist Foundation and higher incentive expense.

Analysis of Financial Condition
Investment Activities
The securities portfolio totaled $108.4 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $121.5 billion at December 31, 2023. U.S. Treasury, GSE, and Agency MBS represented 99.6% and 97.2% of the total securities portfolio as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The overwhelming majority of the portfolio is in agency MBS securities.
•The decrease in 2024 includes sales of $28.1 billion, paydowns and maturities of $9.7 billion as well as a decrease in the fair value of AFS securities, partially offset by $26.0 billion in purchases. The purchases and sales were primarily related to the balance sheet repositioning.
◦Following the sale of TIH, which resulted in after-tax cash proceeds to Truist of approximately $10.1 billion, Truist executed a strategic balance sheet repositioning of a portion of its AFS investment securities portfolio by selling $27.7 billion of lower-yielding investment securities, resulting in an after-tax loss of $5.1 billion in the second quarter of 2024. The investment securities that were sold had a book value of $34.4 billion and a weighted average book yield of 2.80% for the remainder of 2024 including the impact of hedges and based on the Federal Funds futures curve at the time. Including the tax benefit, the repositioning generated $29.3 billion available for reinvestment.
◦Truist invested approximately $18.7 billion of the $39.4 billion available, including the $10.1 billion after-tax proceeds from the sale of TIH, in shorter duration investment securities yielding 5.27%. The remaining $20.7 billion was invested in cash. The blended reinvestment rate on the new investment securities purchased and cash is 5.22% for the remainder of 2024 including the impact of hedges and based on the Federal Funds futures curve at the time.
•As of June 30, 2024, 46% of the investment securities portfolio was classified as held-to-maturity based on amortized cost, excluding portfolio level basis adjustments, compared to 41% at December 31, 2023.
•As of June 30, 2024, approximately 3.3% of the securities portfolio was variable rate, excluding the impact of swaps, compared to 5.7% as of December 31, 2023.
•The effective duration of the AFS securities portfolio was 5.0 years at June 30, 2024 and 6.1 years at December 31, 2023, excluding the impact of swaps, or 4.0 years at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, including the impact of swaps. The effective duration of the HTM securities portfolio was 7.0 years at June 30, 2024 and 7.3 years at December 31, 2023.

Nonperforming assets totaled $1.5 billion at June 30, 2024, flat compared to March 31, 2024, as declines in the commercial and industrial and commercial construction portfolios were offset by an increase in the CRE portfolio. Nonperforming loans and leases held for investment were 0.46% of loans and leases held for investment at June 30, 2024, up one basis point compared to March 31, 2024.
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $489 million at June 30, 2024, down two basis points as a percentage of loans and leases compared with the prior quarter. Excluding government guaranteed loans, the ratio of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of loans and leases was 0.04% at June 30, 2024, unchanged from March 31, 2024.
Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing of $1.8 billion at June 30, 2024 were up $75 million, or three basis points as a percentage of loans and leases, compared to the prior quarter due to increases in the residential mortgage and indirect auto portfolios, partially offset by a decline in the commercial and industrial portfolio.

(2)This asset quality ratio has been adjusted to remove the impact of government guaranteed loans. Management believes the inclusion of such assets in this asset quality ratio results in distortion of this ratio because collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, or the ratio might not be comparable to other periods presented or to other portfolios that do not have government guarantees.

Commercial Credit Concentrations
Truist has established the following general practices to manage commercial credit risk:
•limiting the amount of credit that Truist may extend to a borrower;
•establishing a process for credit approval accountability;
•initial underwriting and analysis of borrower, transaction, market, and collateral risks;
•ongoing servicing and monitoring of individual loans and lending relationships;
•continuous monitoring of the portfolio, market dynamics, and the economy; and
•periodically reevaluating the Company’s strategy and overall exposure as economic, market, and other relevant conditions change.
Truist continuously monitors various segments of its credit portfolios to assess potential concentration risks. Management is actively involved in the credit approval and review process, and risk acceptance criteria are adjusted as needed to reflect the Company’s risk appetite. Consistent with established risk management objectives, the Company utilizes various risk mitigation techniques, including collecting collateral and security interests, obtaining guarantees, and, to a limited extent, through the purchase of credit loss protection via third party insurance or use of credit derivatives such as credit default swaps.
In the commercial portfolio, risk concentrations are evaluated regularly on both an aggregate portfolio level and on an individual client basis. The Company manages its commercial exposure through portfolio targets, limits, and transactional risk acceptance criteria as well as other techniques, including but not limited to, loan syndications/participations, loan sales, collateral, structure, covenants, and other risk reduction techniques.
The following tables provide industry distribution by major types of commercial credit exposure and the geographical distribution of commercial exposures. Industry classification for commercial and industrial loans is based on the North American Industry Classification System. Commercial real estate loans are classified based on type of property. For the geographic disclosures, amounts are generally assigned to a state based on the physical billing address of the client or physical property address.

(1)Represents other remaining industries that are deemed to be individually insignificant.
(2)Includes non-U.S. loans of $4.4 billion and $5.1 billion at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The remainder represents other remaining states that are deemed to be individually insignificant.
Truist has noted that the CRE and commercial construction portfolios have the potential for heightened risk in the current environment. Truist seeks to maintain a high-quality portfolio through disciplined risk management and prudent client selection.
Truist’s CRE and commercial construction portfolios totaled $29.5 billion as of June 30, 2024, which includes 35% related to multifamily residential, 18% related to industrial, 15% related to office, 14% related to retail, and the remainder composed of hotel and other commercial real estate.
Our combined CRE and commercial construction office portfolio is primarily composed of multi-tenant, non-gateway properties located within Truist Bank’s footprint. As of June 30, 2024, approximately 98% of these properties are multi-tenant. Additionally, as of June 30, 2024, 17% and 30% of these exposures are scheduled to mature in 2024 and 2025, respectively, with the remainder scheduled to mature in 2026 and beyond.

Truist monitors the performance of its home equity loans and lines secured by second liens similarly to other consumer loans and utilizes assumptions specific to these loans in determining the necessary ALLL. Truist also receives notification when the first lien holder, whether Truist or another financial institution, has initiated foreclosure proceedings against the borrower. When notified that the first lien is in the process of foreclosure, Truist obtains valuations to determine if any additional charge-offs or reserves are warranted. These valuations are updated at least annually thereafter.
Truist has limited ability to monitor the delinquency status of the first lien, unless the first lien is held or serviced by Truist. Truist estimates credit losses on second lien loans where the first lien is delinquent based on historical experience; the increased risk of loss on these credits is reflected in the ALLL. As of June 30, 2024, Truist held or serviced the first lien on 32% of its second lien positions.

(1)Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of intangible assets, net of deferred taxes. This measure is useful for evaluating the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or developed internally. Truist’s management uses this measure to assess balance sheet risk and shareholder value.
Truist Financial Corporation 69
Total shareholders’ equity was $63.8 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $4.6 billion from December 31, 2023. This increase was driven by $4.0 billion in OCI and net income of $2.1 billion, partially offset by $1.6 billion in common and preferred dividends. Truist’s book value per common share at June 30, 2024 was $42.71, compared to $39.31 at December 31, 2023. Truist’s TBVPS was $28.91 at June 30, 2024, compared to $21.83 at December 31, 2023 with the increase driven by the sale of TIH.
Risk Management
Truist seeks to maintain a comprehensive risk management framework supported by people, processes, and systems to identify, measure, monitor, manage, and report significant risks arising from its exposures and business activities. Effective risk management involves optimizing risk and return while operating in a safe and sound manner and promoting compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company’s risk management framework is designed to promote the execution of business strategies and objectives in alignment with its risk appetite.
Truist has developed and employs a risk framework that further guides business functions in identifying, measuring, responding to, monitoring, and reporting on possible exposures to the organization. Truist has developed a risk taxonomy designed to drive internal risk measurement and monitoring and enable Truist to clearly and transparently communicate to stakeholders the level of potential risk the Company faces and the Company’s position on managing risk to acceptable levels.
Truist is committed to fostering a culture that supports identification and escalation of risks across the organization. All teammates are responsible for upholding the Company’s purpose, mission, and values, and are encouraged to speak up if there is any activity or behavior that is inconsistent with the Company’s culture. The Truist code of ethics guides the Company’s decision making and informs teammates on how to act in the absence of specific guidance.
Truist seeks an appropriate return for the risk taken in its business operations. Risk-taking activities must be evaluated and prioritized to identify those that present attractive risk-adjusted returns, while preserving asset value and capital.
Truist’s compensation plans are designed to consider teammates’ adherence to and successful implementation of Truist’s risk values and associated policies and procedures. The Company’s compensation structure is designed to support its core values and sound risk management practices in an effort to promote judicious risk-taking behavior.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings, capital, or economic value arising from changes in the market value of portfolios, securities, or other financial instruments. Market risk results from changes in the level, volatility, or correlations among financial market risk factors or prices, including interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, equity, and commodity prices.
Effective management of market risk is essential to achieving Truist’s strategic financial objectives. Truist’s most significant market risk exposure is to interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also results from underlying product liquidity risk, price risk, and volatility risk in Truist’s business units. Interest rate risk results from differences between the timing of rate changes and the timing of cash flows associated with assets and liabilities (re-pricing risk); from changing rate relationships among different yield curves affecting bank activities (basis risk); from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities (yield curve risk); and from interest-related options inherently embedded in bank products (options risk).
The primary objectives of effective market risk management are to minimize adverse effects from changes in market risk factors on net interest income, net income, and capital, and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. At Truist, market risk management also includes the enterprise-wide IPV function.
Interest Rate Market Risk
As a financial institution, Truist is exposed to interest rate risk from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet positions. Truist primarily monitors this risk through two measurement types, (i) NII at risk and (ii) economic value of equity, and manages this risk with securities, derivatives, and broader asset liability management activities.
IRR measurement is reported monthly through the ALCO. Monthly IRR reporting includes exposure and historical trends relative to risk limit scenarios, impacts to a wide range of rate scenarios, and sensitivity tests of key assumptions. IRR reporting is provided to the BRC monthly and reviews of varying IRR topics are performed quarterly.
70 Truist Financial Corporation
IRR measurement is influenced by data, assumptions, and models. Due to their high sensitivity to market rates, mortgage (loan and security) prepayments leverage an industry model that results in varying prepayment speeds across rate scenarios. Prepayments for non-mortgage loans leverage a mix of dynamic models and static prepayment assumptions based on historical experience. Interest-bearing-deposit rate paid is projected to move at a ratio (deposit beta) of market rates, primarily the Federal Funds Rate, aligned to historical experience.
Truist uses derivatives to hedge interest income variability of floating rate loans and to hedge valuation changes of long-term debt and investment securities.
NII at risk measures the change in NII under alternate interest rate scenarios relative to Truist’s baseline scenario, which incorporates Truist’s current balance sheet and off-balance sheet hedges as well as expectations for new business over the forecast horizon. Truist’s baseline scenario relies on assumptions including expectations of the economy and interest rates – which are influenced by market conditions, new business volume, pricing, and customer behavior. In measuring NII at risk, Truist assumes that changes in key factors, such as prepayments and deposit pricing (betas), largely move in line with those it has experienced in prior rate cycles. However, future behavior of key factors may vary from those used in this measurement. NII at risk measurement assumes, when applicable, that U.S. interest rates floor at zero and Truist does not take any balance sheet or hedging actions in response to the rate scenarios.
Truist evaluates a wide range of alternate scenarios including instantaneous and gradual as well as parallel and non-parallel changes in interest rates. The table below presents the estimated change to NII over the following 12 months for select parallel alternate scenarios, expressed as a percentage change relative to baseline NII.
Estimated changes to NII in the table above assume no change in deposit balances or mix relative to the baseline scenario. In increasing interest rate scenarios, rotation from non-interest-bearing into interest bearing deposits would reduce NII. Conversely, in decreasing interest rate scenarios, rotation from higher yielding to lower yielding deposits would benefit net interest income. Truist performs and monitors sensitivity tests of deposit and other key assumptions used in NII risk including:
•Asset prepayment speeds
•New loan volume pricing spreads
•Interest-bearing deposit betas
•Non-interest-bearing demand deposit balance runoff, replaced by market funding
EVE measures changes in the economic value of Truist’s current balance sheet and off-balance sheet hedges under alternate rate scenarios relative to starting economic value. Truist uses EVE as a longer-term measure of interest rate risk. Truist performs and monitors sensitivity tests of key assumptions used in EVE including:
•Asset prepayment speeds
•Mortgage spreads (mortgage loan and security valuations)
•Interest-bearing deposit beta
•Deposit runoff / decay
Key assumption tests are generally performed by increasing and decreasing the assumption, whether static or dynamically modeled, relative to their respective starting values and then measuring the resulting impact to NII and EVE under baseline and alternate rate scenarios.
The identification and testing of key assumptions are influenced by market conditions and management views of key risks. The results of key assumption sensitivity tests are reported to ALCO and BRC at least quarterly. The inventory of key assumptions and their associated sensitivity tests are reviewed with ALCO and BRC at least annually.
Market Risk from Trading Activities
As a financial intermediary, Truist provides its clients access to derivatives, foreign exchange and securities markets, which generate market risks. Trading market risk is managed using a comprehensive risk management approach, which includes measuring risk using VaR, stress testing, and sensitivity analysis. Risk metrics are monitored against a suite of limits on a daily basis at both the trading desk level and at the aggregate portfolio level.
Truist Financial Corporation 71
Truist is also subject to risk-based capital guidelines for market risk under the Market Risk Rule.
Covered Trading Positions
Covered positions subject to the Market Risk Rule include trading assets and liabilities, specifically those held for the purpose of short-term resale or with the intent of benefiting from actual or expected short-term price movements or to lock in arbitrage profits. Truist’s trading portfolio of covered positions results primarily from market making and underwriting services for the Company’s clients, as well as associated risk mitigating hedging activity. The trading portfolio, measured in terms of VaR, consists primarily of four sub-portfolios of covered positions: (i) credit trading, (ii) fixed income securities, (iii) interest rate derivatives, and (iv) equity derivatives. As a market maker across different asset classes, Truist’s trading portfolio also contains other sub-portfolios, including foreign exchange, loan trading, and commodity derivatives; however, these portfolios do not generate material trading risk exposures.
Valuation policies and methodologies exist for all trading positions. Additionally, these positions are subject to independent price verification. See “Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments,” “Note 15. Fair Value Disclosures,” and “Critical Accounting Policies” herein for discussion of valuation policies and methodologies.
Securitizations
As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate market value of on-balance sheet securitization positions subject to the Market Risk Rule, which were non-agency asset backed securities positions, was $96 million. Consistent with the Market Risk Rule requirements, the Company performs pre-purchase due diligence on each securitization position to identify the characteristics including, but not limited to, deal structure and the asset quality of the underlying assets, that materially affect valuation and performance. Securitization positions are subject to Truist’s comprehensive risk management framework, which includes daily monitoring against a suite of limits. There were no off-balance sheet securitization positions during the reporting period.
Correlation Trading Positions
The trading portfolio of covered positions did not contain any correlation trading positions as of June 30, 2024.
VaR-Based Measures
VaR measures the potential loss of a given position or portfolio of positions at a specified confidence level and time horizon. Truist utilizes a historical VaR methodology to measure and aggregate risks across its covered trading positions. For risk management purposes, the VaR calculation is based on a historical simulation approach and measures the potential trading losses using a one-day holding period at a one-tail, 99% confidence level. For Market Risk Rule purposes, the Company calculates VaR using a 10-day holding period and a 99% confidence level. Due to inherent limitations of the VaR methodology, such as the assumption that past market behavior is indicative of future market performance, VaR is only one of several tools used to measure and manage market risk. Other tools used to actively manage market risk include stress testing, scenario analysis, and stop loss limits.

The trading portfolio’s VaR profile is influenced by a variety of factors, including the size and composition of the portfolio, market volatility, and the correlation between different positions. A portfolio of trading positions is typically less risky than the sum of the risk from each of the individual sub-portfolios, because, under normal market conditions, risk within each category partially offsets the exposure to other risk categories. The following table summarizes certain VaR-based measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Stressed VaR-based measures
Stressed VaR, another component of market risk capital, is calculated using the same internal models as used for the VaR-based measure. Stressed VaR is calculated over a ten-day holding period at a one-tail, 99% confidence level and employs a historical simulation approach based on a continuous twelve-month historical window selected to reflect a period of significant financial stress for the Company’s trading portfolio. The following table summarizes Stressed VaR-based measures:

Compared to the same period of prior year, Stressed VaR measures were higher, primarily due to higher market making inventory.
Specific Risk Measures
Specific risk is a measure of idiosyncratic risk that could result from risk factors other than broad market movements (e.g., default or event risks). The Market Risk Rule provides fixed risk weights under a standardized measurement method while also allowing a model-based approach, subject to regulatory approval. Truist utilizes the standardized measurement method to calculate the specific risk component of market risk regulatory capital. As such, incremental risk capital requirements do not apply.
VaR Model Backtesting
In accordance with the Market Risk Rule, the Company evaluates the accuracy of its VaR model through daily backtesting by comparing aggregate daily trading gains and losses (excluding fees, commissions, reserves, net interest income, and intraday trading) from covered positions with the corresponding daily VaR-based measures generated by the model. As illustrated in the following graph, there were no Company-wide VaR backtesting exceptions during the twelve months ended June 30, 2024. The total number of Company-wide VaR backtesting exceptions over the preceding twelve months is used to determine the multiplication factor for the VaR-based capital requirement under the Market Risk Rule. The capital multiplication factor increases from a minimum of three to a maximum of four, depending on the number of exceptions. All Company-wide VaR backtesting exceptions are thoroughly reviewed in the context of VaR model use and performance. There was no change in the capital multiplication factor over the preceding twelve months.

Model Risk Oversight
MRO is responsible for the independent model validation of all decision tools and models including trading market risk models. The validation activities are conducted in accordance with MRO policy, which incorporates regulatory guidance related to the evaluation of model conceptual soundness, ongoing monitoring, and outcomes analysis. As part of ongoing monitoring efforts, the performance of all trading risk models is reviewed regularly to preemptively address emerging developments in financial markets, assess evolving modeling approaches, and identify potential model enhancement.
Stress Testing
The Company uses a comprehensive range of stress testing techniques to help monitor risks across trading desks and to augment standard daily VaR and other risk limits reporting. The stress testing framework is designed to quantify the impact of extreme, but plausible, stress scenarios that could lead to large, unexpected losses. Stress tests include simulations for risk factor sensitivities, historical repeats, and hypothetical scenarios with varying liquidity horizons of key risk factors. All trading positions within each applicable market risk category (interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, credit spread risk, and commodity price risk) are included in the Company’s comprehensive stress testing framework. Management reviews stress testing scenarios on an ongoing basis and makes updates, as necessary, to capture both current and emerging risks. Management also utilizes stress analyses to support the Company’s capital adequacy assessment standards. See the “Capital” section of MD&A for additional discussion of capital adequacy.
Liquidity
Liquidity represents the continuing ability to meet funding needs, including deposit withdrawals, repayment of borrowings and other liabilities, and funding of loan commitments. In addition to the level of liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents, and highly liquid unencumbered securities, other factors affect the ability to meet liquidity needs, including access to a variety of funding sources, maintaining borrowing capacity, growing core deposits, loan repayment, and the ability to securitize or package loans for sale.
Truist monitors the ability to meet client demand for funds under both normal and stressed market conditions. In considering its liquidity position, management evaluates Truist’s funding mix based on client core funding, client rate-sensitive funding, and national markets funding. In addition, management evaluates exposure to rate-sensitive funding sources that mature in one year or less. Management also measures liquidity needs for up to one-year of stressed cash outflows for Truist and Truist Bank. To promote a strong liquidity position and compliance with regulatory requirements, management maintains a liquid asset buffer of cash on hand and highly liquid unencumbered securities to meet projected 30 days of stressed cash outflows.
74 Truist Financial Corporation
Internal Liquidity Stress Testing
Liquidity stress testing is conducted for Truist and Truist Bank using a variety of institution-specific and market-wide adverse scenarios. Each liquidity stress test scenario applies defined assumptions to execute sources and uses of liquidity over varying planning horizons. The types of expected liquidity uses during a stressed event may include, but are not limited to, deposit attrition, contractual maturities, reductions in unsecured and secured funding, and increased draws on unfunded commitments. To mitigate liquidity outflows, Truist has identified sources of liquidity; however, access to these sources of liquidity could be affected within a stressed environment.
Truist maintains a liquidity buffer of cash on hand and highly liquid unencumbered securities that is sufficient to meet the projected 30-day net stressed cash-flow needs and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. The liquidity buffer consists of unencumbered highly liquid assets and Truist’s liquidity buffer is substantially the same in composition to what qualifies as HQLA under the LCR Rule.
Contingency Funding Plan
Truist has a contingency funding plan designed to address ongoing obligations and commitments, particularly in the event of a liquidity contraction. This plan is designed to examine and quantify the organization’s liquidity under the various internal liquidity stress scenarios and is periodically tested to assess the plan’s reliability. Additionally, the plan provides a framework for management and other teammates to follow in the event of a liquidity contraction or in anticipation of such an event. The plan addresses authority for activation and decision making, liquidity options, and the responsibilities of key departments in the event of a liquidity contraction.
LCR, NSFR, and HQLA
The LCR rule requires that Truist and Truist Bank maintain an amount of eligible HQLA that is sufficient to meet its estimated total net cash outflows over a prospective 30 calendar-day period of stress. Eligible HQLA, for purposes of calculating the LCR, is the amount of unencumbered HQLA that satisfy operational requirements of the LCR rule. Truist and Truist Bank are subject to the Category III reduced LCR requirements. Truist held average weighted eligible HQLA of $81.0 billion and Truist’s average LCR was 110% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
The NSFR rule requires that Truist and Truist Bank maintain a minimum amount of stable, long-term funding in relation to its asset composition and off-balance sheet activities. Truist and Truist Bank are subject to the Category III reduced NSFR requirements. At June 30, 2024, Truist was compliant with this requirement.
Sources of Funds
Management believes current sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet Truist’s on- and off-balance sheet obligations. Truist funds its balance sheet through diverse sources of funding including client deposits, secured and unsecured capital markets funding, and shareholders’ equity. Truist Bank’s primary source of funding is client deposits. Continued access to client deposits is highly dependent on public confidence in the stability of Truist Bank and its ability to return funds to clients when requested.
Truist Bank maintains a number of diverse funding sources to meet its liquidity requirements. These sources include unsecured borrowings from the capital markets through the issuance of senior or subordinated bank notes, institutional CDs, overnight and term Federal funds markets, and retail brokered CDs. Truist Bank also maintains access to secured borrowing sources including FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, and the FRB discount window. Available investment securities could be pledged to create additional secured borrowing capacity. The following table presents a summary of Truist Bank’s available secured borrowing capacity and eligible cash at the FRB:

Parent Company
The Parent Company serves as the primary source of capital for the operating subsidiaries. The Parent Company’s assets consist primarily of cash on deposit with Truist Bank, equity investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, and notes receivable from subsidiaries. The principal obligations of the Parent Company are payments on long-term debt. The main sources of funds for the Parent Company are dividends and management fees from subsidiaries, repayments of advances to subsidiaries, and proceeds from the issuance of equity and long-term debt. The primary uses of funds by the Parent Company are investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, dividend payments to common and preferred shareholders, repurchases of common stock, and payments on and, from time-to-time, potential repurchases or redemptions of a portion of an outstanding tranche of the long-term debt of the Parent Company (as may be permitted by the terms of each respective series). See “Note 22. Parent Company Financial Information” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information regarding dividends from subsidiaries and debt transactions.
Access to funding at the Parent Company is more sensitive to market disruptions. Therefore, Truist prudently manages cash levels at the Parent Company to cover a minimum of one year of projected cash outflows which includes unfunded external commitments, debt service, common and preferred dividends and scheduled debt maturities, without the benefit of any new cash inflows from subsidiary dividends to the Parent or capital market activity. Truist maintains a significant buffer above the projected one year of cash outflows. In determining the buffer, Truist considers cash requirements for common and preferred dividends, unfunded commitments to affiliates, serving as a source of strength to Truist Bank, and being able to withstand sustained market disruptions that could limit access to the capital markets. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Parent Company had 54 months and 48 months, respectively, of cash on hand to satisfy projected cash outflows, and 32 months and 30 months, respectively, when including the payment of common stock dividends.
Credit Ratings
Credit ratings are forward-looking opinions of rating agencies as to the Company’s ability to meet its financial commitments and repay its securities and obligations in accordance with their terms of issuance. Credit ratings influence both borrowing costs and access to the capital markets. The Company’s credit ratings are continuously monitored by the rating agencies and are subject to change at any time. As Truist seeks to maintain high-quality credit ratings, management meets with the major rating agencies on a regular basis to provide financial and business updates and to discuss current outlooks and trends. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information regarding factors that influence credit ratings and potential risks that could materialize in the event of downgrade in the Company’s credit ratings. Recent changes in the Company’s credit ratings and outlooks include:
•On May 8, 2024, Moody’s Ratings downgraded Truist's long-term senior unsecured rating to Baa1 from A3 and Truist Bank’s baseline credit assessment to a3 from a2 and long-term deposits rating to A1 from Aa3. In addition, Truist Bank’s short-term deposit rating was affirmed at Prime-1. Ratings outlooks for both Truist and Truist Bank were changed to stable.
Capital
The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on a regular basis. Truist’s principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support Truist’s risk profile consistent with the Board-approved risk appetite, provide financial flexibility to support future growth and client needs, comply with relevant laws, regulations, and supervisory guidance, achieve optimal credit ratings for Truist and its subsidiaries, remain a source of strength for its subsidiaries, and provide a competitive return to shareholders. Risk-based capital ratios, which include CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital, and Total capital are calculated based on regulatory guidance related to the measurement of capital and risk-weighted assets.
76 Truist Financial Corporation
Truist regularly performs stress testing on its capital levels and is required to periodically submit the Company’s capital plans and stress testing results to the banking regulators. Management regularly monitors the capital position of Truist on both a consolidated and bank-level basis. In this regard, management’s objective is to maintain capital at levels that are in excess of internal capital limits, which are above the regulatory “well-capitalized” minimums. Management has implemented internal stress capital ratio minimums to evaluate whether capital ratios calculated after the effect of alternative capital actions are likely to remain above internal minimums. Breaches of internal stressed minimums prompt a review of the planned capital actions included in Truist’s capital plan.

Under the 2024 CCAR process, Truist was notified its preliminary SCB requirement would be 2.8% from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025.
Truist completed the 2024 CCAR process and received a preliminary SCB requirement of 2.8% for the period October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, down 10 basis points from the SCB requirement for the period October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. The FRB will provide Truist with its final SCB requirement by August 31, 2024.
The FRB’s capital plan rule provides that a BHC must update and resubmit its capital plan if the BHC determines there has been or will be a material change in its risk profile, financial condition, or corporate structure since it last submitted the capital plan. Truist determined that the sale of our remaining equity interests in TIH constitutes such a material change and, therefore, addressed the material change in our capital plan submitted in April 2024. The capital plan rule further provides that, upon the occurrence of an event requiring resubmission, a BHC may not make any capital distribution unless it has received prior approval of the FRB pending the FRB's consideration of the capital plan resubmission and stress capital buffer requirement. In July 2024, the FRB notified Truist that Truist is no longer required to receive the FRB’s prior approval to make capital distributions in connection with the April 2024 capital plan submission.

Capital ratios significantly strengthened compared to the regulatory requirements for well capitalized banks. Truist’s CET1 ratio was 11.6% as of June 30, 2024, up 150 basis points compared to March 31, 2024 due to the sale of TIH and organic capital generation, partially offset by the balance sheet repositioning. Truist did not repurchase any shares in the second quarter of 2024. Truist's board of directors has authorized a $5 billion share repurchase program beginning in the third quarter of 2024 through 2026 as part of the Company's overall capital distribution strategy. Truist declared common dividends of $0.52 per share during the second quarter of 2024 and maintained its current quarterly common stock dividend in the third quarter of 2024.
Truist’s average consolidated LCR was 110% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the regulatory minimum of 100%.

(3)In June 2024, Truist announced that the Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 billion of common stock beginning in the third quarter of 2024 through 2026 as part of Truist’s overall capital distribution strategy. Repurchased shares revert to the status of authorized and unissued shares upon repurchase. The share-repurchase program enables Truist to acquire shares through open-market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans and other programs, at the discretion of management and on terms (including quantity, timing, and price) that management determines to be advisable. Actions in connection with the share-repurchase program will be subject to various factors, including Truist's capital and liquidity positions and related internal frameworks, accounting and regulatory considerations (including any restrictions that may be imposed by the FRB and any changes to capital, liquidity, and other regulatory requirements that may be proposed or adopted by the U.S. banking agencies), Truist's financial and operational performance, alternative uses of capital, the trading price of Truist's common stock, and general market conditions. The share-repurchase program does not obligate Truist to acquire a specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be extended, modified, or discontinued at any time.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Truist are in accordance with GAAP and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. Truist’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions, and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations, and related disclosures. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the ACL; determination of fair value for securities, MSRs, LHFS, trading loans, and derivative assets and liabilities; goodwill and other intangible assets; income taxes; and pension and postretirement benefit obligations. Understanding Truist’s accounting policies is fundamental to understanding the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. The critical accounting policies are discussed in MD&A in Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” in this report. There have been no other changes to the critical accounting policies during 2024.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Effective January 1, 2024, several business activities were realigned reflecting updates to the Company’s operating structure. First, the CB&W segment was renamed CSBB and the C&CB segment was renamed WB. Second, the Wealth business was realigned into the WB segment from the CSBB segment, representing a separate reporting unit in that segment. Third, the small business banking client segmentation was realigned into the CSBB segment from the WB segment. Further, TIH was the principal legal entity of the IH segment. As the operations of TIH were included in discontinued operations prior to the sale of TIH, the Company no longer presents the IH segment as one of its reportable segments. Following these realignments, the Company’s three reporting units with goodwill balances were CSBB, WB, and Wealth. Also in conjunction with these realignments, goodwill of $1.7 billion was realigned to WB from CSBB based on the relative fair value of CSBB and Wealth, and goodwill of $220 million was realigned to CSBB from WB based on the relative fair value of WB and the realigned small business banking client segmentation. In addition, the Company completed an assessment of any potential goodwill impairment for all impacted reporting units immediately prior and subsequent to the reassignments and determined that no impairment existed.
78 Truist Financial Corporation
The quantitative valuations of these reporting units for purposes of realigning goodwill use the income approach and a market-based approach, each weighted at 50%. The inputs and assumptions specific to each reporting unit are incorporated in the valuations, including projections of future cash flows, discount rates, and applicable valuation multiples based on the comparable public company information. The income approach utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis of multi-year financial forecasts developed for each reporting unit by considering several inputs and assumptions such as net interest margin, expected credit losses, noninterest income, noninterest expense, and required capital. The market-based approach utilizes comparable public company information, key valuation multiples, and considers a market control premium associated with cost synergies and other cash flow benefits that arise from obtaining control over a reporting unit, and guideline transactions, when applicable.
Truist also assesses the reasonableness of the aggregate estimated fair value of the reporting units by comparison to its market capitalization over a reasonable period of time, including consideration of expected acquirer expense synergies, historic bank control premiums, and the current market.
The projection of net interest margin and noninterest expense are the most significant inputs to the financial projections of the CSBB, WB, and Wealth reporting units. The long-term growth rate used in determining the terminal value of each reporting unit was 3% as of January 1, 2024, based on management’s assessment of the minimum expected terminal growth rate of each reporting unit. Discount rates are estimated based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which considers the risk-free interest rate, market risk premium, beta, and unsystematic risk adjustments specific to a particular reporting unit. The discount rates are also calibrated based on risks related to the projected cash flows of each reporting unit. The discount rates utilized for the CSBB, WB and Wealth reporting units as of January 1, 2024 were 13.0%, 11.5%, and 12.5%, respectively.
The quantitative valuation of WB performed in conjunction with the goodwill realignments indicated that as of January 1, 2024, the fair value of the WB reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%, indicating that the goodwill of the WB reporting unit may be at risk of impairment. Circumstances that could negatively impact the fair value for the WB reporting unit in the future include a sustained decrease in Truist’s stock price, a decline in industry peer multiples, an increase in the applicable discount rate, and deterioration in the reporting unit’s forecast.
The estimated fair value of a reporting unit is highly sensitive to changes in management’s estimates and assumptions; therefore, in some instances, changes in these assumptions could impact whether the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying value. The valuation of the WB reporting unit as of January 1, 2024 indicated that if the discount rate were increased less than 50 basis points, the reporting unit’s fair value would be less than its carrying value, resulting in a goodwill impairment. Ultimately, future potential changes in management’s assumptions may impact the estimated fair value of a reporting unit and cause the fair value of the reporting unit to be below its carrying value. Additionally, a reporting unit’s carrying value could change based on market conditions, change in the underlying makeup of the reporting unit, or the risk profile of those reporting units, which could impact whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than carrying value.
The Company monitored events and circumstances during the period from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024, including macroeconomic and market factors, industry and banking sector events, Truist specific performance indicators, a comparison of management’s forecast and assumptions to those used in its January 1, 2024 quantitative valuations associated with the realignments of goodwill, and the sensitivity of the January 1, 2024 quantitative results to changes in assumptions as of June 30, 2024. Based on these considerations, Truist concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of one or more of its reporting units is below its respective carrying amount as of June 30, 2024.
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations
Following the sale of TIH, Truist retained the postretirement benefit obligation for TIH employees and changed the status of TIH employees by eliminating their eligibility to earn future service credits. Changes in pension plan obligations associated with the disposal of operating segments such as TIH require the remeasurement of postretirement benefit obligations prior to the disposal, updates to pension plan assumptions inherent in valuations, and identification and recognition of valuation changes specific to the sale, including the establishment of a new periodic service cost using assumptions as of the remeasurement date. The remeasurement process of impacted pension plans included a reduction in pension benefit obligations of $783 million, primarily driven by an increase in the weighted average assumed discount rate from 5.12% to 5.78%, and a decrease in the value of plan assets by $508 million, primarily driven by market prices. The impact of the sale on Truist pension plans resulted in a reduction of pension benefit obligations by $97 million which was recorded as a reduction of AOCI.
Refer to “Note 15. Benefit Plans” in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and “Note 13. Benefit Plans” for disclosures related to the benefit plans.
