At each reporting date, the Company considers current conditions, including
changes in portfolio composition or the business
environment, when determining the appropriate measurement
of current expected credit losses for the remaining life of its
portfolio.
As of the January 1, 2020 adoption date, there was no qualitative adjustment to the Working
Capital portfolio.
However, starting with its March 31, 2020
measurement, driven by the elevated risk of credit loss driven by market
conditions due to COVID-19, the Company developed alternate
scenarios for credit loss based on an analysis of the
characteristics of its portfolio,
considering different timing and magnitudes of potential
exposures.
During the second quarter, the Company updated
its expectation for credit losses for the Working
Capital segment based on
the favorable actual portfolio performance during the quarter and a revised
forecast based on its current assessment of risks in
the portfolio.
Based on that analysis, the Company recognized a provision benefit of $
0.1
million for the three months ended
June 30, 2021, bringing the total provision associated with Working
Capital to $
0.1
million for the six months ended June 30,
2021.
Commercial Vehicle
Group (CVG):
Transportation-related equipment leases and
loans are analyzed as a single pool, as the Company did not consider any risk
characteristics to be significant enough to warrant disaggregating this population.
The Company’s measurement
of CVG is based on a combination of its own historical loss experience and
industry loss data
from an external source. The Company has limited history of this product,
and therefore the Company determined it was
appropriate to develop an estimate based on a combination of internal
and industry data.
Due to the Company’s limited
history of performance of this segment, and the limited size of the
portfolio, the Company did not develop a standard
methodology to adjust its loss estimate based on a forecast of economic conditions.
However, the Company will continually
assess through a qualitative adjustment whether there are changes in
conditions and the environment that will impact the
performance of these loans that should be considered for qualitative adjustment.
At each reporting date, the Company considers current conditions, including
changes in portfolio composition or the business
environment, when determining the appropriate measurement
for the remaining life of the current portfolio.
As of the
January 1, 2020 adoption date, there were no qualitative adjustment to the CVG portfolio.
However, starting with the March
31, 2020 measurement, driven by the elevated risk of credit loss driven by market
conditions due to COVID-19, the
Company developed alternate scenarios for expected credit loss for
this segment, considering different timing and
magnitudes of potential exposures.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2021,
the Company updated its expectation for credit losses for the CVG segment, including
separately assessing the elevated risks of a population of motor coach industry
contracts that are facing prolonged impacts
from COVID-19. While the segment continues to evidence negative impacts
from COVID-19 as seen in the segment’s
delinquency and modification balances, it is also experiencing positive
indicators such as paydown of balance.
These factors,
including no further significant reduction in collateral values contributed
to a $
1.0
million reduction in qualitative reserve
ending the period at $
4.7
million of total CVG qualitative adjustments for COVID-19 related risks.
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Loans:
CRA loans are comprised of loans originated under a line of credit to satisfy the
Company’s obligations under the CRA.
The
Company does not measure an allowance specific to this population because
the exposure to credit loss is nominal.
For the three and six- months ended June 30, 2021, the Company
recognized provision benefits of $
9.9
12.8
respectively, driven
primarily by improving economic forecasts and portfolio performance.
Our reserve as of June 30, 2021, and the qualitative and economic adjustments
discussed above, were calculated referencing our
historical loss experience, including loss experience through the 2008
economic cycle, and our adjustments to that experience based
on our judgements about the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Those judgements include certain expectations for the
extent and timing of impacts from COVID-19 on unemployment rates and business
bankruptcies and are based on our current
expectations of the performance of our portfolio in the current environment.
We may recognize
credit losses in excess of our reserve
or revise our estimate of credit losses in the future, and such amounts
may be significant, based on (i) the actual performance of our
portfolio, including the performance of the modified portfolio, (ii)
any further changes in the economic environment, or (iii) other
developments or unforeseen circumstances that impact our portfolio
.
