Quick Polls
1. Types of Stress Testing Performed
2. Obstacles to Stress Testing
Regulatory Update: Who, What and When
 2006 Interagency Guidance on CRE Concentrations
 Banks with 100% of total capital in construction, development and land-related
loans
 Banks with CRE representing 300% of risk-based capital.

 Primarily “bottom up” analysis

 2009 CCAR
 Requirements for 19 largest U.S. banks

 “Top down” annual analysis

 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
 Banks >$10 billion in assets

 “Top down” annual analysis like under CCAR

6
Regulatory Update: Who, What and When
 2011 OCC Comptroller’s Handbook “Concentrations of Credit”
 “Banks of all sizes will benefit by supplementing stress testing of significant
individual loans with portfolio and firm-wide stress testing”
 Prescribes “top down” and “bottom up” analyses

 2012 Interagency Expectations for Stress Testing by Community Banks
 Recommends some type of sensitivity analysis to assess potential impact of adverse
outcomes on the bank’s finances

 Prescribes “top down” and “bottom up” analyses

 2012 FDIC “Stress Testing Credit Risk at Community Banks”
 Defines stress testing for community banks and provides example methodology

 2012 OCC “Community Bank Stress Testing: Supervisory Guidance”
 Recommends at least top down stress testing for banks <$10 billion in assets
7
Stress Testing Objective
 Thesis from Regulatory Bodies:

Every bank should stress test their loan portfolio.
 Objective?
 Assess risk by loan and concentration
 Evaluate impact of policy changes in the bank

 Assess needs for the allowance and capital adequacy

 How much?
 Determined by size, complexity of a bank’s loan portfolio and risk appetite

8
Why Stress Testing’s Important
 Best practice for banks that

demonstrates proactive and progressive
improvement
 Identify pockets of portfolio that are

vulnerable to a variety of outside factors:
e.g. changes in short term interest rates
or deteriorating real estate market

conditions
 Recognize overexposures in
concentrations, geographies, industries

or types of real estate

9
Why Stress Testing’s Important
 Increase banks’ ability to mitigate risk by targeting potentially problematic

loans for additional scrutiny, such as more frequent rent-roll reviews or
owner-income updates
 Provide bank management with clues on how to amend credit policies,

pricing or business strategy based on desired risk profile

13
Biggest Challenge: Data
 Accumulate and examine data for largest real estate exposures or the

segment with higher dollar/ higher risk—should be the first priority
 Develop a process for accumulating the necessary data on ongoing basis
and account for different data sources
 Help identify data weaknesses within the institution for that and other segments

 Expand stress testing coverage to include other portfolio segments over time
 Review processes over time to ensure the right data is included

14
Sample Portfolio Analysis, Coverage
 334 Loans in sample as of 1/31/2012

 54% of Pass-rated CRE, Multifamily
& Construction
 C&I loans with real estate collateral

treated as CRE
 Includes loans reviewed between
12/2010 and 3/2012
 Coverage increases every quarter
 Income properties (263 loans, 84%
of exposure):
 174 Multifamily (53% of exposure)

 38 Retail (11%)
 17 Industrial (10%)
15

 34 Office & Other (9%)
Bottom Up Stress Test: Identify concentrations

16
Examples of Data Elements Needed

17
Bottom Up Stress Test: Determine Scenarios
Determine Scenario

 Scenarios range from
moderate to severe
 Use current market data or
bank’s historical data to
validate scenario variables
 Combine scenarios to
evaluate total exposure in
some cases
 Larger institutions can use
loan migration analysis

18
Bottom Up Stress Test: Results

19
Estimate Rating Migration
 Loan-by-loan post-stress DSCR and LTV used to estimate potential
migration to criticized and classified ratings

23
Sample Top Down Approach
 “For most community banks, a simple stressed loss-rate analysis based on

call report categories may provide an acceptable foundation to determine if
additional analysis is necessary.”
 OCC Supervisory Guidance– Community Bank Stress Testing– 10/18/2012

 Segment the portfolio into pools with similar risk characteristics
 Develop “stressed” loss rates for each segment; consider:
 Bank’s historical loss rates over several stress periods
 Peer/ market loss rates over several stress periods
 Results of any “bottom up” stress testing

 Calculate Stress Period Loss amounts (2 year timeframe)
 Estimate Earnings impact, apply to Tier 1 Capital ratios

One Bank’s Approach: Top Down Stress


“Base Case” is calibrated to the latest default and loss data (December 2012)



“Q1-2010: Severe Recession” is the stress scenario replicating Bank’s default and
loss experience from April 2009 to March 2010. This was the longest (18 months)
and deepest recession since the Great Depression. During the period:


National Unemployment Rate peaked ~10%



Home Prices decreased 30% peak to trough



Bank had the highest level of nonaccrual/delinquent loans at March 2010



Bank recorded $108 million in realized losses

Other Types of Stress Testing
 Loan Migration Analysis
 Looking at how loans migrate under stressed scenarios and how it would impact
asset quality and capital

 Reverse Stress Testing
 Running various stress tests to determine a “break point” that would cause the
bank’s capital levels to fall below satisfactory levels

 “Enterprise Level” Stress Testing
 Combining results from the various credit risk stresses with results from interest
rate risk and liquidity risk stress tests

29
Is the Bank Getting the Most from the Process?
 Aside from organizing the different data sources, banks should identify the

best, most useful types of reports
 What loans/borrowers are struggling? What industries are struggling? Is the bank
stressing these industries to predict future issues?

 Frequency of running the reports and sharing results with board
 Can the bank demonstrate what kind of potential losses it might have if a
certain stress occurred? How would that stress affect earnings/ capital?

 Verify accuracy, timeliness of the data used for the stress testing

One Bank’s Approach: Top Down Stress  “Base Case” is calibrated to the latest default and loss data (December 2012)  “Q1-2010: Severe Recession” is the stress scenario replicating Bank’s default and loss experience from April 2009 to March 2010. This was the longest (18 months) and deepest recession since the Great Depression. During the period:  National Unemployment Rate peaked ~10%  Home Prices decreased 30% peak to trough  Bank had the highest level of nonaccrual/delinquent loans at March 2010  Bank recorded $108 million in realized losses Commercial Loans Commercial Real Estate Community Association Cooperative Real Estate Share /Single Family (Consumer) 26 CDR Mar-10 Dec-12 12.4% 9.5% 6.5% 1.8% 1.3% 4.6% 3.3% 0.8% 4.8% 5.7% 3.1% 4.0% Severity Mar-10 Dec-12 52% 37% 44% 26% 47% 37% 49% 40% 51% 48% 44% 37%

  • 29. Other Types of Stress Testing  Loan Migration Analysis  Looking at how loans migrate under stressed scenarios and how it would impact asset quality and capital  Reverse Stress Testing  Running various stress tests to determine a “break point” that would cause the bank’s capital levels to fall below satisfactory levels  “Enterprise Level” Stress Testing  Combining results from the various credit risk stresses with results from interest rate risk and liquidity risk stress tests 29
  • 30. Is the Bank Getting the Most from the Process?  Aside from organizing the different data sources, banks should identify the best, most useful types of reports  What loans/borrowers are struggling? What industries are struggling? Is the bank stressing these industries to predict future issues?  Frequency of running the reports and sharing results with board  Can the bank demonstrate what kind of potential losses it might have if a certain stress occurred? How would that stress affect earnings/ capital?  Verify accuracy, timeliness of the data used for the stress testing 30
