Financial results reported in this document are preliminary. Final financial results and other disclosures will be reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 , and may differ materially from the results and disclosures in this document due to, among other things, the completion of final review procedures, the occurrence of subsequent events, or the discovery of additional information.
1 Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets (including goodwill and intangible assets associated with certain of our nonmarketable equity securities but excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of applicable deferred taxes. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that return on average tangible common equity, which utilizes tangible common equity, is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company's use of equity. For additional information, including a corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, see the “Tangible Common Equity” tables on page 34.
2 Reserve build represents the amount by which the provision for credit losses exceeds net charge-offs, while reserve release represents the amount by which net charge-offs exceed the provision for credit losses.
3 See table on page 35 for more information on Common Equity Tier 1. Common Equity Tier 1 (fully phased-in) is a preliminary estimate and is calculated assuming the full phase-in of the Basel III capital rules.

(a)
Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets (including goodwill and intangible assets associated with certain of our nonmarketable equity securities but excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of applicable deferred taxes. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that return on average tangible common equity, which utilizes tangible common equity, is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company's use of equity. For additional information, including a corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, see the “Tangible Common Equity” tables on page 34.
(b)
The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
SAN FRANCISCO – Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) reported net income of $5.9 billion , or $1.20  per diluted common share, for first quarter 2019 , compared with $5.1 billion , or $0.96 per share, for first quarter 2018 , and $6.1 billion , or $1.21  per share, for fourth quarter 2018.
Interim Chief Executive Officer Allen Parker said, “Since assuming this role, I have been focused on leading our Company forward by emphasizing my top priorities: serving our customers and supporting our Wells Fargo team members; meeting and exceeding the expectations of our regulators; and continuing the important transformation of the Company. We have more work ahead of us, and our strong leadership team is dedicated to making our Company the most customer-focused, efficient, and innovative Wells Fargo ever. All these efforts are focused on creating a first-rate organization that is characterized by a strong financial foundation, a leading presence in our chosen markets, focused growth within a responsible risk management framework, operational excellence, and highly engaged team members. I want to thank our team members for their continued commitment and tireless efforts, and I’m confident and enthusiastic about the extraordinary opportunities we have in front of us to build an even stronger Wells Fargo for all our stakeholders.”

Chief Financial Officer John Shrewsberry said, “Wells Fargo reported $5.9 billion of net income in the first quarter. Our financial results included continued strong credit performance and high levels of liquidity. In addition, our continued de-risking of the balance sheet and consistent level of profitability have resulted in capital levels well above our regulatory minimum. As a result, we returned $6.0 billion to shareholders through common stock dividends and net share repurchases in the first quarter, up 49% from a year ago. Returning excess capital to shareholders remains a priority. While our expenses in the first quarter included typically higher personnel expense, we remain committed to, and are on track to achieving, our 2019 expense target.”

Net Interest Income
Net interest income in the first quarter was $12.3 billion , down $333 million from fourth quarter 2018, driven primarily by two fewer days in the quarter and balance sheet mix and repricing, including the impact of a flattening yield curve. The net interest margin was 2.91% , down 3 basis points from the prior quarter due to balance sheet mix and repricing.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income in the first quarter was $9.3 billion , up $962 million from fourth quarter 2018. First quarter noninterest income included higher market sensitive revenue 4 and mortgage banking income, partially offset by lower other income, trust and investment fees, and other fees.
Trust and investment fees were $3.4 billion , down from $3.5 billion in fourth quarter 2018, driven by lower asset-based fees on retail brokerage advisory assets, reflecting lower market valuations at December 31, 2018.
Mortgage banking income was $708 million , up from $467 million in fourth quarter 2018. Net mortgage servicing income was $364 million , up from $109 million in the fourth quarter, which included negative mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustments. The production margin on residential held-for-sale mortgage loan originations 5 increased to 1.05% , from 0.89% in the fourth quarter, primarily due to an improvement in secondary market conditions. Residential mortgage loan originations in the first quarter were $33 billion , down from $38 billion in the fourth quarter primarily due to seasonality. The unclosed application pipeline at March 31, 2019, was $32 billion , up from $18 billion at December 31, 2018.
Market sensitive revenue 4 was $1.3 billion , up from $40 million in fourth quarter 2018, and included higher net gains from equity securities driven by a $797 million increase in deferred compensation plan investment results (P&L neutral, largely offset by higher employee benefits expense). Net gains from trading activities increased $347 million compared with the prior quarter, driven predominantly by strength in credit and asset-backed products. Net gains from debt securities increased $116 million compared with the prior quarter, predominantly due to the sale of non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense in the first quarter increased $577 million from the prior quarter to $13.9 billion , predominantly due to $778 million of seasonally higher employee benefits and incentive compensation expense, as well as a $785 million increase in deferred compensation expense (P&L neutral, largely offset by net gains from equity securities). These increases were partially offset by lower core deposit and other intangibles amortization, operating losses, other expense, outside professional services, salaries, and operating lease expense. The efficiency ratio was 64.4%  in first quarter 2019 , compared with 63.6%  in the fourth quarter.

Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 13.1% for first quarter 2019 and included net discrete income tax benefits of $297 million related mostly to the results of U.S. federal and state income tax examinations and the accounting for stock compensation activity. The effective income tax rate in fourth quarter 2018 was 13.7% and
4 Market sensitive revenue represents net gains from trading activities, debt securities, and equity securities.
5 Production margin represents net gains on residential mortgage loan origination/sales activities divided by total residential held-for-sale mortgage originations. See the "Selected Five Quarter Residential Mortgage Production Data" table on page 40 for more information.

included net discrete income tax benefits related to the results of state income tax audits and incremental state tax credits, as well as benefits related to revisions to our full year 2018 effective income tax rate made during the fourth quarter. The Company currently expects the effective income tax rate for the remainder of 2019 to be approximately 18%, excluding the impact of any unanticipated discrete items.
Loans
Average loans were $950.1 billion in the first quarter, up $3.8 billion from the fourth quarter. Period-end loan balances were $948.2 billion at March 31, 2019 , down $4.9 billion from December 31, 2018 . Commercial loans were down $1.2 billion compared with December 31, 2018 , predominantly due to a $1.1 billion decline in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by $460 million of growth in commercial real estate loans. Consumer loans decreased $3.7 billion from the prior quarter, reflecting the following:
Real estate 1-4 family first mortgage loans decreased $520 million , as $10.5 billion of held-for-investment nonconforming mortgage loan originations were more than offset by paydowns and $1.6 billion of sales of purchased credit-impaired (PCI) Pick-a-Pay mortgage loans. Additionally, $776 million of nonconforming mortgage loan originations that would have otherwise been included in 1-4 family first mortgage loan outstandings were designated as held-for-sale in first quarter 2019 in anticipation of future securitizations.
Real estate 1-4 family junior lien mortgage loans decreased $1.3 billion , as paydowns continued to exceed originations
Credit card loans decreased $746 million primarily due to seasonality
Automobile loans declined $156 million , as paydowns outpaced originations of $5.4 billion

Debt and Equity Securities
Debt securities include available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, as well as debt securities held for trading. Period-end debt securities were $483.5 billion at March 31, 2019 , down $1.2 billion from the fourth quarter, predominantly due to a net decrease in available-for-sale and held for trading debt securities. Debt securities purchases of approximately $4.8 billion, primarily U.S. Treasury and federal agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in the available-for-sale portfolio, declined from the prior quarter primarily reflecting less reinvestment due to lower long-term interest rates and tighter credit spreads. These purchases were more than offset by runoff and sales.

Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale debt securities were $853 million at March 31, 2019 , compared with net unrealized losses of $2.6 billion at December 31, 2018 , due to lower long-term interest rates and tighter credit spreads.
Period-end equity securities, which include marketable and non-marketable equity securities, as well as equity securities held for trading, were $58.4 billion at March 31, 2019, up $3.3 billion from the fourth quarter.
Deposits
Total average deposits for first quarter 2019 were $1.3 trillion, down $6.9 billion from the prior quarter primarily due to lower Wholesale Banking and Wealth and Investment Management deposits, partially offset by higher retail banking deposits. The average deposit cost for first quarter 2019 was 65 basis points, up 10 basis points from the prior quarter and 31 basis points from a year ago.
Capital
Our Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (fully phased-in) was 11.9% 3 and continued to exceed both the regulatory minimum of 9% and our current internal target of 10%. In first quarter 2019 , the Company repurchased 97.4 million shares of its common stock, which net of issuances reduced period-end common shares outstanding by 69.3 million. The Company increased its quarterly common stock dividend paid in the quarter to $0.45 per share from $0.43 per share in the prior quarter.
As of March 31, 2019, our eligible external total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets was 23.9% 6 , compared with the required minimum of 22.0%.
6 The TLAC ratio is a preliminary estimate.

Credit Quality

Net Loan Charge-offs
The quarterly loss rate in the first quarter was 0.30% (annualized), unchanged from the prior quarter, and down from 0.32% a year ago. Commercial and consumer losses were 0.11% and 0.51% , respectively. Total credit losses were $695 million in first quarter 2019 , down $26 million from fourth quarter 2018. Commercial losses increased $13 million driven by lower recoveries, while consumer losses decreased $39 million .

Financial information for periods prior to December 31, 2018, has been revised to exclude mortgage loans held for sale (MLHFS), loans held for sale (LHFS) and loans held at fair value. For additional information, see the "Five Quarter Nonperforming Assets" table on page 32.
Allowance for Credit Losses

Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, we may make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed or furnished with the SEC, and our management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “target,” “projects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “can” and similar references to future periods. In particular, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about: (i) the future operating or financial performance of the Company, including our outlook for future growth; (ii) our noninterest expense and efficiency ratio; (iii) future credit quality and performance, including our expectations regarding future loan losses and allowance levels; (iv) the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses; (v) our expectations regarding net interest income and net interest margin; (vi) loan growth or the reduction or mitigation of risk in our loan portfolios; (vii) future capital or liquidity levels or targets and our estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio under Basel III capital standards; (viii) the performance of our mortgage business and any related exposures; (ix) the expected outcome and impact of legal, regulatory and legislative developments, as well as our expectations regarding compliance therewith; (x) future common stock dividends, common share repurchases and other uses of capital; (xi) our targeted range for return on assets, return on equity, and return on tangible common equity; (xii) the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings; and (xiii) the Company’s plans, objectives and strategies.
Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation: 
current and future economic and market conditions, including the effects of declines in housing prices, high unemployment rates, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters, geopolitical matters, and any slowdown in global economic growth;
our capital and liquidity requirements (including under regulatory capital standards, such as the Basel III capital standards) and our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms;
financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses, including the Dodd-Frank Act and other legislation and regulation relating to bank products and services;
developments in our mortgage banking business, including the extent of the success of our mortgage loan modification efforts, the amount of mortgage loan repurchase demands that we receive, any negative effects relating to our mortgage servicing, loan modification or foreclosure practices, and the effects of regulatory or judicial requirements or guidance impacting our mortgage banking business and any changes in industry standards;
our ability to realize any efficiency ratio or expense target as part of our expense management initiatives, including as a result of business and economic cyclicality, seasonality, changes in our business composition and operating environment, growth in our businesses and/or acquisitions, and unexpected expenses relating to, among other things, litigation and regulatory matters;
the effect of the current interest rate environment or changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgage loans held for sale;
significant turbulence or a disruption in the capital or financial markets, which could result in, among other things, reduced investor demand for mortgage loans, a reduction in the availability of funding or increased funding costs, and declines in asset values and/or recognition of other-than-temporary impairment on securities held in our debt securities and equity securities portfolios;
the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our investment banking business and our fee income from our brokerage, asset and wealth management businesses;



- 14 -

negative effects from the retail banking sales practices matter and from other instances where customers may have experienced financial harm, including on our legal, operational and compliance costs, our ability to engage in certain business activities or offer certain products or services, our ability to keep and attract customers, our ability to attract and retain qualified team members, and our reputation;
resolution of regulatory matters, litigation, or other legal actions, which may result in, among other things, additional costs, fines, penalties, restrictions on our business activities, reputational harm, or other adverse consequences;
a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks;
the effect of changes in the level of checking or savings account deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;
fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board; and
the other risk factors and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the amount and timing of any future common stock dividends or repurchases will depend on the earnings, cash requirements and financial condition of the Company, market conditions, capital requirements (including under Basel capital standards), common stock issuance requirements, applicable law and regulations (including federal securities laws and federal banking regulations), and other factors deemed relevant by the Company’s Board of Directors, and may be subject to regulatory approval or conditions.
For more information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, refer to our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the discussion under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on its website at www.sec.gov.
Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Forward-looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures . From time to time management may discuss forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as forward-looking estimates or targets for return on average tangible common equity. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. Such unavailable information could be significant to future results.

Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets (including goodwill and intangible assets associated with certain of our nonmarketable equity securities but excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of applicable deferred taxes. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that return on average tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share, which utilize tangible common equity, are useful financial measures because they enable investors and others to assess the Company's use of equity. For additional information, including a corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, see the "Tangible Common Equity" tables on page 34.
(2)
The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
(3)
Pre-tax pre-provision profit (PTPP) is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that PTPP is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle.
(4)
Consumer and small business banking deposits are total deposits excluding mortgage escrow and wholesale deposits.
(5)
Book value per common share is common stockholders' equity divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible book value per common share is tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding.

(1)
Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets (including goodwill and intangible assets associated with certain of our nonmarketable equity securities but excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of applicable deferred taxes. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that return on average tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share, which utilize tangible common equity, are useful financial measures because they enable investors and others to assess the Company's use of equity.
(2)
Represents goodwill and other intangibles on nonmarketable equity securities, which are included in other assets.
(3)
Applicable deferred taxes relate to goodwill and other intangible assets. They were determined by applying the combined federal statutory rate and composite state income tax rates to the difference between book and tax basis of the respective goodwill and intangible assets at period end.

(1)
Basel III capital rules, adopted by the Federal Reserve Board on July 2, 2013, revised the definition of capital, increased minimum capital ratios, and introduced a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio. The rules are being phased in through the end of 2021. Fully phased-in capital amounts, ratios and RWAs are calculated assuming the full phase-in of the Basel III capital rules. Beginning January 1, 2018, the requirements for calculating CET1 and tier 1 capital, along with RWAs, became fully phased-in.
(2)
Represents goodwill and other intangibles on nonmarketable equity securities, which are included in other assets.
(3)
Applicable deferred taxes relate to goodwill and other intangible assets. They were determined by applying the combined federal statutory rate and composite state income tax rates to the difference between book and tax basis of the respective goodwill and intangible assets at period end.
(4)
The final Basel III capital rules provide for two capital frameworks: the Standardized Approach, which replaced Basel I, and the Advanced Approach applicable to certain institutions. Under the final rules, we are subject to the lower of our CET1 ratio calculated under the Standardized Approach and under the Advanced Approach in the assessment of our capital adequacy. Because the final determination of our CET1 ratio and which approach will produce the lower CET1 ratio as of March 31, 2019 , is subject to detailed analysis of considerable data, our CET1 ratio at that date has been estimated using the Basel III definition of capital under the Basel III Standardized Approach RWAs. The capital ratio for December 31, September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2018 , was calculated under the Basel III Standardized Approach RWAs.
(5)
The Company’s March 31, 2019 , RWAs and capital ratio are preliminary estimates.

The rules are being phased in through the end of 2021. Fully phased-in capital amounts, ratios and RWAs are calculated assuming the full phase-in of the Basel III capital rules. Beginning January 1, 2018, the requirements for calculating CET1 and tier 1 capital, along with RWAs, became fully phased-in. (2) Represents goodwill and other intangibles on nonmarketable equity securities, which are included in other assets. (3) Applicable deferred taxes relate to goodwill and other intangible assets. They were determined by applying the combined federal statutory rate and composite state income tax rates to the difference between book and tax basis of the respective goodwill and intangible assets at period end. (4) The final Basel III capital rules provide for two capital frameworks: the Standardized Approach, which replaced Basel I, and the Advanced Approach applicable to certain institutions. Under the final rules, we are subject to the lower of our CET1 ratio calculated under the Standardized Approach and under the Advanced Approach in the assessment of our capital adequacy. Because the final determination of our CET1 ratio and which approach will produce the lower CET1 ratio as of March 31, 2019, is subject to detailed analysis of considerable data, our CET1 ratio at that date has been estimated using the Basel III definition of capital under the Basel III Standardized Approach RWAs. The capital ratio for December 31, September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2018, was calculated under the Basel III Standardized Approach RWAs. (5) The Company’s March 31, 2019, RWAs and capital ratio are preliminary estimates. Wells Fargo 1Q19 Supplement 36

The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that return on average tangible common equity, which utilizes tangible common equity, is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company's use of equity. (2) Represents goodwill and other intangibles on nonmarketable equity securities, which are included in other assets. (3) Applicable deferred taxes relate to goodwill and other intangible assets.

Forward-looking statements and additional information Forward-looking statements: This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, we may make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed or furnished with the SEC, and our management may make forward- looking statements orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “target,” “projects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “can” and similar references to future periods. In particular, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about: (i) the future operating or financial performance of the Company, including our outlook for future growth; (ii) our noninterest expense and efficiency ratio; (iii) future credit quality and performance, including our expectations regarding future loan losses and allowance levels; (iv) the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses; (v) our expectations regarding net interest income and net interest margin; (vi) loan growth or the reduction or mitigation of risk in our loan portfolios; (vii) future capital or liquidity levels or targets and our estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio under Basel III capital standards; (viii) the performance of our mortgage business and any related exposures; (ix) the expected outcome and impact of legal, regulatory and legislative developments, as well as our expectations regarding compliance therewith; (x) future common stock dividends, common share repurchases and other uses of capital; (xi) our targeted range for return on assets, return on equity, and return on tangible common equity; (xii) the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings; and (xiii) the Company’s plans, objectives and strategies. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Investors are urged to not unduly rely on forward-looking statements as actual results could differ materially from expectations. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we do not undertake to update them to reflect changes or events that occur after that date. For more information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” discussion in Wells Fargo’s press release announcing our first quarter 2019 results and in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as to Wells Fargo’s other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the discussion under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Purchased credit-impaired loan portfolios: Loans acquired that were considered credit impaired at acquisition were written down at that date in purchase accounting to an amount estimated to be collectible and the related allowance for loan losses was not carried over to Wells Fargo’s allowance. In addition, such purchased credit-impaired loans are not classified as nonaccrual or nonperforming, and are not included in loans that were contractually 90+ days past due and still accruing. Any losses on such loans are charged against the nonaccretable difference established in purchase accounting and are not reported as charge-offs (until such difference is fully utilized). As a result of accounting for purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration, certain ratios of Wells Fargo are not comparable to a portfolio that does not include purchased credit- impaired loans. In certain cases, the purchased credit-impaired loans may affect portfolio credit ratios and trends. Management believes that the presentation of information adjusted to exclude the purchased credit-impaired loans provides useful disclosure regarding the credit quality of the non-impaired loan portfolio. Accordingly, certain of the loan balances and credit ratios in this document have been adjusted to exclude the purchased credit-impaired loans. References in this document to impaired loans mean the purchased credit-impaired loans. Please see the “Risk Management—Credit Risk Management—Purchased Credit-Impaired (PCI) Loans” section and Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and Note 6 (Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, for additional information regarding purchased credit-impaired loans.
