Mythbusting Common ConcernsConcern: CECL is going to destroy my capital positionFact or Myth: Myth

Concern: I can/should start building up my ALLLFact or Myth: Big Myth

Mythbusting Common Concerns

Concern: Calculating CECL effectively is going to require us to understand our loan and charge off dataFact or Myth: Fact

Why: Call report and GL information does not identify timing of charge off relative to loan origination

Reality: Examiners and auditors will have acceptable methods that don’t use loan data.

Data Analysis and Interpretation

Use Conclusions to Improve Performance

• Finding 1: A+ direct auto paper performing weaker relative to portfolio• Conclusion 1: A+ paper still profitable net of charge offs, and increasing pricing

will make CU less competitive• Action 1: No action

• Finding 2: B and C FICO paper charging off at comparable rate, but C priced over 2% higher

• Conclusion 2: C paper overpriced, and priced in excess of competition• Action 2: Reduce C paper by 1.25%, aligning the risk premium with the risk in

that portfolio segment

Excel works, too
