Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 9, 2026
- The allowance represents management's best estimate of expected losses over the life of the loan and credit commitment portfolios and consists of two components: the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit commitments.
- Outputs from the loss forecasting models, in combination with Regions' qualitative framework and other analyses, inform management in its estimation of Regions' expected credit losses to ensure the overall allowance estimate is appropriate from both a bottom-up and top-down perspective.
- On August 27, 2026, DBRS upgraded the Company's issuer rating from A to AH and changed the outlook from Positive to Stable.
- As an offset, to limit the interest rate risk on the consolidated balance sheet, the Company also added $1.6 billion in receive fixed, cash flow swaps intended to hedge floating rate loans, with a receive rate of 4.6 percent, a weighted-average start date in 2030, and a weighted average maturity date in 2035.
- Additionally, in the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company added $500 million in receive fixed, cash flow swaps intended to hedge short-term rate volatility associated with floating rate loans.
- Finally, in the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company also terminated $1.0 billion in receive fixed, cash flow hedges intended to hedge fixed rate loan turnover.
- Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company terminated an additional $750 million fixed-rate loan turnover hedges, consistent with the timing of the fixed-rate loan production the swaps were intended to hedge.
- The provision for credit losses is used to maintain the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit losses at a level that management determines is appropriate to absorb expected credit losses over the contractual life of the loan and credit commitment portfolio at the balance sheet date.
