Corporate Services
Through our industry-leading platform, Equity Edge Online, we serve approximately 20% of S&P 500 companies, including nearly 40% of technology companies and over 50% of healthcare companies within the S&P 500 index. The Company offers management of employee stock option plans, employee stock purchase plans, and restricted stock plans with fully-automated stock plan administration. Accounting, reporting and scenario modeling tools are also available. The integrated stock plan solutions include multi-currency settlement and delivery, and streamlined tax calculation. Additionally, corporate clients are offered 10b5-1 plan design and implementation, along with SEC filing assistance and automated solutions. Through our platform, participants have enhanced visibility into the creation and approval of their plan through digital tools and resources. Participants have full access to E*TRADE's robust investing and trading capabilities, including tailored education and planning tools, and dedicated stock plan service representatives.
Corporate Services is an important driver of account and asset growth, serving as a conduit to the retail channel. Over the last 12 months ending March 31, 2019, there were $99 billion of gross inflows into our corporate services channel, driven by $26 billion of new corporate client implementations and $73 billion of new grants and employee stock purchase plan transactions. Over this same 12 month period, domestic stock plan participants generated $27 billion of net proceeds through transactions of vested assets. These participant proceeds represent a key source of net new assets for the retail customer channel.
Advisor Services
Through our proprietary technology platform, Liberty, the Company offers sophisticated modeling, rebalancing, reporting, and practice management capabilities that are fully customizable for the RIA. E*TRADE's financial consultants can refer retail customers to pre-qualified RIAs on our custody platform through our referral program, the E*TRADE Advisor Network. We expect the E*TRADE Advisor Network will improve the Company's ability to drive asset growth and retain customers seeking specialized services and sophisticated advice.
Financial Performance
Our net revenue is generated primarily from net interest income, commissions and fees and service charges:
•
Net interest income is largely impacted by the size of our balance sheet, our balance sheet mix, and average yields on our assets and liabilities. Net interest income is driven primarily from interest earned on investment securities, margin receivables, and our legacy loan portfolio, less interest incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, including deposits, customer payables, corporate debt and other borrowings.
•
Commissions revenue is generated by customer trades and is largely impacted by trade volume, trade type, and commission rates.
•
Fees and service charges revenue is primarily impacted by order flow revenue, fees earned on off-balance sheet customer cash and other assets, advisor management and custody fees, and mutual fund service fees.
Our net revenue is offset by non-interest expenses, the largest of which are compensation and benefits and advertising and market development.

Key Performance Metrics
Management monitors customer activity and corporate metrics to evaluate the Company’s performance. The most significant of these are displayed below.
In the first quarter of 2019, the Company updated the structure of its customer activity metrics to better align to its retail and institutional customer channels. Additionally, the Company has refined the presentation of certain customer activity metrics, as follows:
•
Commissionable trades: The definition of trades was updated to capture only commissionable trades (this impacts DARTs, derivative DARTs percentage, and average commission per trade).
•
Customer accounts: The definition of accounts was updated to align the minimum threshold for gross new and end of period retail accounts to $25. The definition for gross new retail accounts sourced from Corporate Services was also updated to include only those accounts which maintain a minimum balance of $25 at the end of the reporting period or trade within the reporting period.
These updates have been reflected in the customer activity metrics for all periods presented and did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Daily Average Revenue Trades (DARTs) is an important measure of customer trading activity, and is a key driver of commissions revenue. DARTs were 279,405 and 299,673 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Derivative DARTs, a key component of overall DARTs that represents advanced trading activities by our customers, is the daily average number of options and futures trades, and Derivative DARTs percentage is the mix of options and futures trades as a component of total DARTs. Derivative DARTs were 90,042 and 96,806 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Derivative DARTs represented 32% of total DARTs for both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Average commission per trade is an indicator of changes in our customer mix, product mix and/or product pricing. Average commission per trade was $7.17 and $7.51 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Margin receivables represent credit extended to customers to finance their purchases of securities by borrowing against securities they own and is a key driver of net interest income. Margin receivables were $10.3 billion and $10.5 billion at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Net income increased 17% to $290 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Net income available to common shareholders was $270 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, which reflects payment of $20 million in preferred stock dividends, compared to $235 million for the same period in 2018, which reflects payment of $12 million in preferred stock dividends. The increase in net income was driven by higher net interest income due to a larger average balance sheet, an improvement in net interest margin and higher fees and service charges, that were offset by decreased commissions revenue driven by lower trading volume. Lower non-interest expense also contributed to increased net income, which was driven by lower advertising and market development, clearing and servicing and communications expense, partially offset by increased compensation and benefits expense. These drivers of increased net income were partially offset by a lower benefit for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Net interest income increased 11% to $492 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Net interest income is earned primarily through investment securities, margin receivables and our legacy mortgage and consumer loan portfolio, offset by funding costs.

Average interest-earning assets increased 2% to $61.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The fluctuation in interest-earning assets is generally driven by changes in interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and customer payables. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 4% to $58.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to the following:
•
Deposits and customer payables: The increase was primarily driven by higher deposits, as we assumed deposits as part of the acquisition of TCA and retail accounts from Capital One, and from the growth in the Premium Savings Account product first introduced in the second quarter of 2018. These increases were partially offset by customer net buying of $3.3 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to net buying of $6.9 billion in the same period in 2018.


E*TRADE Q1 2019 10-Q | Page 18
 
                    
Table of Contents    

•
Other interest-bearing liabilities: The increase in customer payables resulted in lower utilization of broker-related payables and other for liquidity management. In addition, net proceeds from the June 2018 issuance of corporate debt were used to redeem the Company's trust preferred securities in the third quarter of 2018, resulting in the increase in corporate debt partially offset by the decrease in other borrowings.
Net interest margin increased 26 basis points to 3.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Net interest margin is driven by the mix of average asset and liability balances and the interest rates earned or paid on those balances. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, is due to higher interest rates earned on higher margin receivables and investment securities balances, partially offset by increased funding costs due to increased rates paid on deposits, including the Premium Savings Account product, and customer payables during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in rates was largely driven by the four increases in federal funds rates that occurred during 2018. Our net interest margin was also impacted by the continued run-off of our higher yielding legacy mortgage and consumer loan portfolio.
Commissions
Commissions revenue decreased 11% to $122 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The primary factors that affect commissions revenue are DARTs, average commission per trade and the number of trading days.
DARTs volume decreased 7% to 279,405 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. DARTs volume is impacted by market sentiment as well as volatility of the equity markets. Derivative DARTs volume decreased 7% to 90,042 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
Average commission per trade decreased 5% to $7.17 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Average commission per trade is impacted by trade mix and differing commission rates on various trade types (e.g. equities, derivatives, corporate services and mutual funds).

Fees and service charges increased 12% to $118 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily driven by increased advisor management and custody fees as a result of the acquisition of TCA and increased money market funds and sweep deposits revenue driven by a higher yield of approximately 165 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 135 basis points for the same period in 2018. These increases were partially offset by decreased order flow revenue driven by lower trade volume.

Provision (Benefit) for Loan Losses
We recognized a benefit for loan losses of $12 million and $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The timing and magnitude of the provision (benefit) for loan losses is affected by many factors that could result in variability. These benefits reflected better than expected performance of our portfolio as well as recoveries in excess of prior expectations, including sales of charged-off loans and recoveries of previous charge-offs that were not included in our loss estimates. For additional information on management's estimate of the allowance for loan losses, see Note 6—Loans Receivable, Net.

Table of Contents    

Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits expense increased 8% to $164 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The expense increase was primarily driven by a 9% increase in headcount as a result of the TCA acquisition and to support the onboarding of the retail accounts from Capital One, as well as other growth in our business.
Advertising and Market Development
Advertising and market development expense decreased 10% to $54 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower media and brand production spend as compared to the prior periods.
Clearing and Servicing
Clearing and servicing expense decreased 17% to $30 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower trading-related expenses, driven by lower trading volume, as well as lower loan servicing expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Communications
Communications expense decreased 52% to $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease was due to a $14 million benefit related to a change in estimate for previous market data usage.
FDIC Insurance Premiums
FDIC insurance premiums expense decreased 56% to $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease was driven primarily by the termination of surcharges paid to the Deposit Insurance Fund after it attained the minimum reserve ratio of 1.35 percent of insured deposits in September 2018.
Amortization of Other Intangibles
Amortization of other intangibles expense increased 50% to $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to the intangible assets recognized in connection with the acquisition of retail accounts from Capital One and the TCA acquisition.
Other Non-Interest Expenses
Other non-interest expenses decreased 22% to $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by $5 million in losses during the three months ended March 31, 2018 related to margin lending activity and futures transactions due to high market volatility experienced in early February 2018.
Operating Margin
Operating margin was 52% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 47% for the same period in 2018. Adjusted operating margin, a non-GAAP measure, was 50% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 44% for the same period in 2018.

Adjusted return on common equity is calculated by dividing adjusted net income available to common shareholders by average common shareholders' equity, which excludes preferred stock. Adjusted net income available to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, excludes the after-tax impact of the provision (benefit) for loan losses.

Cash and Equivalents
Cash and equivalents decreased 78% to $523 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash and equivalents will fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including, among other drivers, liquidity needs at the parent, customer activity at our regulated subsidiaries, and the timing of investments at E*TRADE Bank. For additional information on our use of cash and equivalents, see MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources and the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Segregated Cash
Cash segregated under federal or other regulations decreased $334 million during the first quarter to $677 million as of March 31, 2019. The level of segregated cash is driven by customer payables and securities lending balances we hold as liabilities compared with the amount of margin receivables and securities borrowed balances we hold as assets. The excess represents customer cash that we segregate for the exclusive benefit of our brokerage customers. Segregated cash can also be impacted by the level of reverse repurchase agreements between E*TRADE Securities and E*TRADE Bank, representing investments that were also segregated under federal or other regulations by E*TRADE Securities and eliminated in consolidation, which increased $850 million to $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2019.

Margin Receivables
Margin receivables increased 7% to $10.3 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Market valuation of customer assets and market sentiment are economic factors that impact the margin receivables balance.

E*TRADE Line of Credit is a securities-based lending product where customers can borrow against the market value of their securities pledged as collateral. The drawn amount and unused credit line amount totaled $97 million and $220 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2019 and $107 million and $173 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2018.
Loans receivable, net decreased 7% to $2.0 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2019. We expect the remaining legacy mortgage and consumer loan portfolio to continue its run-off for the foreseeable future. As our portfolio has seasoned and substantially all interest-only loans have converted to amortizing, we continue to assess underlying performance, the economic environment, and the value of the portfolio in the marketplace. While it is our intention to continue to hold these loans, if the markets improve or our assessment changes, our strategy could change. For additional information on management's estimate of the allowance for loan losses, see Note 6—Loans Receivable, Net.

Securities borrowed increased 98% to $277 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was driven by a higher demand for securities to cover customer short positions during the period. The 54% decrease in receivables from clearing organizations during the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $255 million was primarily driven by the decreased use of cash collateral for the Company's derivatives transactions utilized for hedging activities.
Securities loaned increased 25% to $1.1 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was driven by higher demand for securities from our counterparties. For additional information on E*TRADE Securities liquidity, see MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources.

We offer the following sweep deposit account programs to our brokerage customers:
•
Extended insurance sweep deposit account (ESDA) program
•
Retirement sweep deposit account (RSDA) program for retirement plan customers
•
Cash balance program offered by E*TRADE Savings Bank for uninvested cash held in eligible custodial accounts as part of the advisor services offering launched in connection with the TCA acquisition
The programs utilize our bank subsidiaries, in combination with additional third party program banks, as applicable, to allow customers the ability to have aggregate deposits they hold in the programs insured up to $1,250,000 for each category of legal ownership depending on the program. As of March 31, 2019, approximately 99% of sweep deposits were in these programs. Sweep deposits on balance sheet are held at bank subsidiaries and are included in the deposits line item on our consolidated balance sheet.
Other Borrowings
Other borrowings increased to $300 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, as we utilized Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances for short-term liquidity and funding needs. See MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information on liquidity and funding sources.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have established liquidity and capital policies to support the successful execution of our business strategy, while maintaining ongoing and sufficient liquidity through the business cycle. We believe liquidity is of critical importance to the Company and especially important for E*TRADE Bank and E*TRADE Securities. The objective of our policies is to ensure that we can meet our corporate, banking and broker-dealer liquidity needs under both normal operating conditions and under periods of stress in the financial markets.
Liquidity
Our liquidity needs are primarily driven by capital needs at E*TRADE Bank and E*TRADE Securities, interest due on our corporate debt, dividend payments on our preferred stock and planned capital returns to holders of our common stock. Our banking and brokerage subsidiaries' liquidity needs are driven primarily by the level and volatility of our customer activity. Management maintains a set of liquidity sources and monitors certain business trends and market metrics closely in an effort to ensure we have sufficient liquidity. Potential loans by E*TRADE Bank to the parent company or the parent company's other non-bank subsidiaries are subject to various quantitative, arm’s length, collateralization, capital and other requirements.
Parent Company Liquidity
The parent company's primary source of liquidity is corporate cash. Corporate cash, a non-GAAP measure, is a component of cash and equivalents; see the consolidated statement of cash flows for information on cash and equivalents activity. We define corporate cash as cash held at the parent company and subsidiaries, excluding bank, broker-dealer, and FCM subsidiaries that require regulatory approval or notification prior to the payment of certain dividends to the parent company. Corporate cash includes the parent company's deposits placed with E*TRADE Bank. E*TRADE Bank may use these deposits for investment purposes; however, these investments are not included in consolidated cash and equivalents.

Table of Contents    

We believe corporate cash is a useful measure of the parent company’s liquidity as it is the primary source of capital above and beyond the capital deployed in our regulated subsidiaries. Corporate cash is monitored as part of our liquidity risk management. Our current corporate cash minimum target is $300 million and covers approximately 18 months of parent company fixed costs, which includes preferred stock dividends, corporate debt service and other overhead costs. The Company maintains $300 million of additional liquidity through an unsecured committed revolving credit facility. The parent has the ability to borrow against the credit facility for working capital and general corporate purposes. Dividends from our operating subsidiaries, including E*TRADE Bank and E*TRADE Securities, are additional sources of corporate cash. Subject to regulatory approval or notification, capital generated by these subsidiaries could be distributed to the parent company to the extent the excess capital levels exceed both regulatory capital requirements and internal capital thresholds. As of March 31, 2019, our subsidiaries maintained excess regulatory capital over internal thresholds and paid dividends of $250 million to the parent company during 2019.
The following chart presents the key activities impacting corporate cash and provides a roll forward of corporate cash from December 31, 2018 to corporate cash at March 31, 2019 (dollars in millions):

Table of Contents    

Corporate cash decreased $62 million to $329 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to the following:
•
$250 million of dividends received from E*TRADE Securities
•
$120 million used for share repurchases
•
$103 million used primarily for parent company overhead less reimbursements from subsidiaries under cost sharing arrangements
•
$35 million used for common stock dividends
•
$20 million used for preferred stock dividends
E*TRADE Bank Liquidity
E*TRADE Bank, including its subsidiary E*TRADE Savings Bank, relies on bank cash and deposits for liquidity needs. Management believes that within deposits, sweep deposits are of particular importance as they are a stable source of liquidity for E*TRADE Bank. The vast majority of E*TRADE Bank's liquidity is invested in securities backed by the US government or its agencies, representing highly liquid securities with low credit risk.
We may also utilize wholesale funding sources for short-term liquidity and contingency funding requirements. Our ability to borrow these funds is dependent upon the continued availability of funding in the wholesale borrowings market. In addition, we can borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's discount window to meet short-term liquidity requirements, although it is not viewed as a primary source of funding.
E*TRADE Securities Liquidity
E*TRADE Securities relies on customer payables, securities lending, and internal and external lines of credit to provide liquidity and to fund margin lending. E*TRADE Securities maintains additional liquidity through external lines of credit totaling approximately $1.3 billion. E*TRADE Securities also maintains lines of credit with the parent company and E*TRADE Bank.

Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total risk-weighted assets.

Broker-Dealer and FCM Capital Requirements
Our broker-dealer and FCM subsidiaries are subject to capital requirements determined by their respective regulators. At March 31, 2019, these subsidiaries met their minimum net capital requirements. We continue to assess our ability to distribute excess net capital to the parent while maintaining adequate capital at the broker-dealer and FCM subsidiaries. For additional information on our broker-dealer and FCM capital requirements, refer to Note 13—Regulatory Requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We enter into various off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business, primarily to meet the needs of our customers and to reduce our own exposure to interest rate risk. These arrangements include firm commitments to extend credit. Additionally, we enter into guarantees and other similar arrangements as part of transactions in the ordinary course of business. For additional information on these arrangements, refer to Note 14—Commitments, Contingencies and Other Regulatory Matters.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The identification, mitigation and management of existing and potential risks is critical to effective enterprise risk management. There are certain risks inherent to our industry (e.g. execution of transactions) and certain risks that will surface through the conduct of our business operations. We seek to monitor and manage our significant risk exposures by operating under a set of Board-approved limits and by monitoring certain risk indicators. Our governance framework is designed to comply with applicable requirements and requires regular reporting on metrics and significant risks and exposures to senior management and the Board of Directors.
We face the following key types of risks: credit, liquidity, market, operational, information technology, data, strategic, reputational, legal, as well as regulatory and compliance. We have a Board-approved Enterprise Risk Appetite Statement (RAS) that is provided to all employees. The RAS specifies significant risk exposures and addresses the Company's tolerance of those risks, which are described in further detail within Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2018 Annual Report.
We are also subject to other risks that could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in future periods. For additional information see Part I. Item 1A. — Risk Factors in our 2018 Annual Report.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the inability or failure of a borrower or counterparty to meet its credit obligations. Our mortgage loan portfolio represents our most significant credit risk exposure.
•
One- to Four-Family Interest-Only Loans: One- to four-family loans include loans with a five to ten year interest-only period, followed by an amortizing period ranging from 20 to 25 years. At March 31, 2019, 100% of these loans were amortizing.


E*TRADE Q1 2019 10-Q | Page 31
 
                    
Table of Contents    

•
Home Equity Loans: The home equity loan portfolio consists of home equity installment loans (HEILs) and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) and is primarily second lien loans on residential real estate properties that have a higher level of credit risk than first lien mortgage loans. HEILs are primarily fixed rate and fixed term, fully amortizing loans that do not offer the option of an interest-only payment. The majority of HELOCs had an interest-only draw period at origination and converted to amortizing loans at the end of the draw period, which typically ranged from five to ten years. At March 31, 2019, nearly 100% of the HELOC portfolio had converted from the interest-only draw period.
•
Securities: We focus primarily on security type and credit rating to monitor credit risk in our securities portfolios. We consider securities backed by the US government or its agencies to have low credit risk as the long-term debt rating of the US government is AA+ by S&P and Aaa by Moody’s at March 31, 2019. The amortized cost of these securities accounted for over 99% of our total securities portfolio at March 31, 2019. We review the remaining debt securities that were not backed by the US government or its agencies according to their credit ratings from S&P and Moody’s where available, and all such debt securities were rated investment grade at March 31, 2019.
SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Note 1—Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Company's 2018 Annual Report contains a summary of our significant accounting policies, many of which require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the periods presented. We believe that, of our significant accounting policies, the following are critical because they are based on estimates and assumptions that require complex and subjective judgments by management: allowance for loan losses; valuation and impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets; and income taxes. Changes in these estimates or assumptions could materially impact our financial condition and results of operations, and actual results could differ from our estimates. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2018 Annual Report.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about market risk includes forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Part I. Forward Looking Statements in this Quarterly Report and Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2018 Annual Report.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk is related primarily to interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Managing interest rate risk is essential to profitability. The primary objective of the management of interest rate risk is to control exposure to interest rates within the Board-approved limits and with limited exposure to earnings volatility resulting from interest rate fluctuations. Our general strategies to manage interest rate risk include balancing variable-rate and fixed-rate assets and liabilities and utilizing derivatives to help manage exposures to changes in interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk requires management to make complex assumptions regarding maturities, market interest rates and customer behavior. Changes in interest rates, including the following, could impact interest income and expense:
•
Interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities may re-price at different times or by different amounts, creating a mismatch.
•
The yield curve may steepen, flatten or otherwise change shape, which could affect the spread between short- and long-term rates. Widening or narrowing spreads could impact net interest income.
•
Market interest rates may influence prepayments, resulting in maturity mismatches. In addition, prepayments could impact yields as premiums and discounts amortize.
Exposure to interest rate risk is dependent upon the distribution and composition of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and derivatives. The differing risk characteristics of each product are managed to mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. At March 31, 2019, 93% of our total assets were interest-earning assets and we had no securities classified as trading.
At March 31, 2019, 67% of total assets were available-for-sale and held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities and residential real estate loans. The values of these assets are sensitive to changes in interest rates as well as expected prepayment levels. As interest rates increase, fixed-rate residential mortgages and mortgage-backed securities tend to exhibit lower prepayments. The inverse is true in a falling rate environment.
When real estate loans or mortgage-backed securities are prepaid, unamortized premiums and/or discounts are recognized immediately in interest income. Depending on the timing of the prepayment, these adjustments to income would impact anticipated yields. The Company reviews estimates of the impact of changing market rates on prepayments. This information is incorporated into our interest rate risk management strategy.
Our liability structure consists of two central sources of funding: deposits and customer payables, both of which re-price at management’s discretion. We may utilize securities lending and wholesale funding sources as needed for short-term liquidity and contingency funding requirements.
Derivative Instruments
We use derivative instruments to help manage interest rate risk using designated hedge relationships. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of fixed-rate and variable-rate interest payments between two parties based on a contractual underlying notional amount, but do not involve the exchange of the


E*TRADE Q1 2019 10-Q | Page 33
 
                    
Table of Contents    

underlying notional amounts. See Note 7—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information about our use of derivative contracts.
Scenario Analysis
Scenario analysis is an advanced approach to estimating interest rate risk exposure. The Company monitors interest rate risk using the Economic Value of Equity (EVE) approach and the Earnings-at-Risk (EAR) approach.
Under the EVE approach, the present value of expected cash flows of all existing interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, derivatives and forward commitments are estimated and combined to produce an EVE figure. The change in EVE is a long-term sensitivity measure of interest rate risk. The approach values only the current balance sheet in which the most significant assumptions are the prepayment rates of the loan portfolio and mortgage-backed securities and the repricing of deposits. This approach does not incorporate assumptions related to business growth, or liquidation and re-investment of instruments. This approach provides an indicator of future earnings and capital levels because changes in EVE indicate the anticipated change in the value of future cash flows. The sensitivity of this value to changes in interest rates is then determined by applying alternative interest rate scenarios. The change in EVE amounts fluctuate based on instantaneous parallel shifts in interest rates primarily due to the change in timing of cash flows, which considers prepayment estimates, in the Company’s residential loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios.
EAR is a short-term sensitivity measure of interest rate risk and illustrates the impact of alternative interest rate scenarios on net interest income, including corporate interest expense, over a twelve month time frame. In measuring the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates, we assume instantaneous parallel interest rate shocks applied to the forward curve. In addition, we assume that cash flows from loan payoffs are reinvested in mortgage-backed securities, we exclude revenue from off-balance sheet customer cash and we assume no balance sheet growth.

These scenario analyses assume a balance sheet size as of the dates indicated. Any changes in size would cause the amounts to vary.
We actively manage interest rate risk. As interest rates change, we will adjust our strategy and mix of assets, liabilities and derivatives to optimize our interest rate risk position. For example, a 100 basis points increase in rates may not result in a change in value as indicated above. We compare the instantaneous parallel interest rate changes in EVE and EAR to the established limits set by the Board of Directors in order to assess interest rate risk. In the event that the percentage change in EVE or EAR exceeds the Board limits, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer must all be promptly notified in writing and decide upon a plan of remediation. In addition, the Board of Directors must be notified of the exception and the planned resolution. At March 31, 2019, the EVE and EAR percentage changes were within our Board limits.

Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements, also referred to herein as the consolidated financial statements, include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries as determined under the voting interest model. Entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but in which the Company does not possess control are generally accounted for by the equity method. Entities in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are generally carried at cost. The Company also evaluates its initial and continuing involvement with certain entities to determine if the Company is required to consolidate the entities under the variable interest entity (VIE) model. This evaluation is based on a qualitative assessment of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, which requires the Company to possess both: 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and 2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. There are no investments in which the Company represents the primary beneficiary of a VIE; therefore, there are no consolidated VIEs included for all periods presented.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position,

results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and should be read in conjunction with our 2018 Annual Report.
Use of Estimates
Preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates. Certain significant accounting policies are critical because they are based on estimates and assumptions that require complex and subjective judgments by management including the allowance for loan losses, valuation and impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, and income taxes. Management also makes estimates in recognizing accrued operating expenses and other liabilities. These liabilities are impacted by estimates for litigation and regulatory matters as well as estimates related to general operating expenses, such as incentive compensation and market data usage within communications expense. Management estimates reflect the liabilities deemed probable at the balance sheet date as determined as part of the Company's ongoing evaluations based on available information.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Accounting for Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the guidance on accounting for leases. The new guidance required lessees to recognize right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all qualifying leases. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee remains substantially unchanged and depends on classification as a finance or operating lease. The Company adopted the new guidance beginning on January 1, 2019 and elected to use the effective date as the date of initial application. As such, restated financial information and the additional disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for the comparative periods presented. The new guidance also requires quantitative and qualitative disclosures that provide information about the amounts related to leasing arrangements recorded in the consolidated financial statements. For further information, see Note 10—Lease Arrangements. The Company elected to apply the "package of practical expedients," which permits it not to reassess prior conclusions on existing leases regarding lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception for lease arrangements with maximum lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company elected not to apply the use-of-hindsight practical expedient, and the practical expedient relating to land easements is not applicable. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
At adoption, the Company recognized lease liabilities of $211 million, representing the present value of the remaining minimum fixed lease payments based on the incremental borrowing rates as of December 31, 2018. Changes in lease liabilities are based on current period interest expense and cash payments. The Company also recognized ROU assets of $193 million at adoption, which represents the measurement of the lease liabilities, prepaid lease payments made to lessors, initial direct costs incurred by the Company and lease incentives received.

Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes
In October 2018, the FASB amended the guidance on hedge accounting. The amended guidance adds the OIS rate based on the SOFR to the list of permitted benchmark interest rates for hedge accounting purposes. The amended guidance became effective on January 1, 2019, and the Company adopted the guidance on a prospective basis for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Accounting for Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB amended the accounting guidance on accounting for credit losses. The FASB subsequently issued clarifications and improvements. The amended guidance requires measurement of all expected credit losses for financial instruments, including loans and debt securities, and other commitments to extend credit held at the reporting date. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, factors such as historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts will be used to estimate expected credit losses. The amended guidance will also result in credit losses on impaired available-for-sale debt securities being recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The new guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new accounting guidance on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company's evaluation contemplates the recent performance of the run-off legacy mortgage and consumer loan portfolio and the credit profile of the current investment securities portfolio; however, the impact of the new guidance will depend on the current and expected macroeconomic conditions and the nature and characteristics of financial assets held by the Company on the date of adoption.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB amended the guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amended guidance requires the Company to perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized at the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Income tax effects resulting from any tax deductible goodwill should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Company will still have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the Company exceeds its fair value. The guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2020, and must be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted.

Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract
In August 2018, the FASB amended the guidance on accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The amended guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The new guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2020, and should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new accounting guidance on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Codification Improvements Related to Credit Losses, Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Hedging
In April 2019, the FASB clarified recently released guidance related to credit losses, financial instruments, derivatives and hedging. The FASB has an ongoing project on its agenda for improving the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification or correcting its unintended application. These clarifications are similar to the items in the FASB's project and are therefore not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's current accounting practices. Certain clarifications may be effective for the Company as early as the second quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these clarifications on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 3—FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company may use various valuation approaches, including market, income and/or cost approaches. The fair value hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant. Accordingly, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The fair value measurement accounting guidance describes the following three levels used to classify fair value measurements:
•
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible by the Company
•
Level 2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in an active market, quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly
•
Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
The availability of observable inputs can vary and in certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability.
Recurring Fair Value Measurement Techniques
Agency-backed Debt Securities
The Company’s agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio is comprised of debt securities which are guaranteed by US government sponsored enterprises and federal agencies. The fair value of agency mortgage-backed securities was determined using a market approach with quoted market prices, recent transactions and spread data for identical or similar instruments. Agency mortgage-backed securities were categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value measurements of agency debentures and other agency debt securities were determined using market and income approaches along with the Company’s own trading activities for identical or similar instruments and were categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
US Treasuries
The Company's fair value level classification of US Treasuries is based on the original maturity dates of the securities and whether the securities are the most recent issuances of a given maturity. US Treasuries with original maturities less than one year are classified as Level 1. US Treasuries with original maturities greater than one year are classified as Level 1 if they represent the most recent issuance of a given maturity; otherwise, these securities are classified as Level 2.

Non-agency Debt Securities
The Company's non-agency debt securities include senior classes of commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities collateralized by credit card receivables. The fair value of non-agency debt securities was determined using a market approach with recent transactions and spread data for identical or similar instruments. Non-agency debt securities were categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company sold its municipal bonds during the three months ended March 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, these securities were valued using a market approach with pricing service valuations corroborated by recent market transactions for identical or similar bonds and were categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Publicly Traded Equity Securities
The fair value measurements of the Company's publicly traded equity securities were classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as they were based on quoted prices in active markets.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurement Techniques
Certain other assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis: 1) one- to four-family and home equity loans in which the amount of the loan balance in excess of the estimated current value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs has been charged-off; and 2) real estate owned that is carried at the lower of the property’s carrying value or fair value less estimated selling costs.
Loans Receivable
Loans that have been delinquent for 180 days or that are in bankruptcy and certain troubled debt restructuring (TDR) loan modifications are charged-off based on the estimated current value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs. Property valuations for these one- to four-family and home equity loans are based on the most recent "as is" property valuation data available, which may include appraisals, broker price opinions, automated valuation models or updated values using home price indices.

Real Estate Owned
Property valuations for real estate owned are based on the lowest value of the most recent property valuation data available, which may include appraisals, listing prices or approved offer prices. Nonrecurring fair value measurements on one- to four-family loans, home equity loans and real estate owned were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the valuations included unobservable inputs that were significant to the fair value. The following table presents additional information about significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that were categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:

Changes in the economy or interest rates may influence the impact that these commitments and contingencies have on the Company in the future. The Company does not estimate the fair value of those commitments. Information related to such commitments and contingent liabilities is included in Note 14—Commitments, Contingencies and Other Regulatory Matters.

NOTE 4—OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Securities Lending Transactions
Deposits paid for securities borrowed and deposits received for securities loaned are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. For financial statement purposes, the Company does not offset securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. These activities are generally transacted under master agreements that are widely used by counterparties and that may allow for net settlements of payments in the normal course, as well as offsetting of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event of bankruptcy or default of one of the two parties to the transaction. The following table presents information about the Company's securities borrowing and securities lending transactions to enable the users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements to evaluate the potential effect of rights of set-off between these recognized assets and liabilities (dollars in millions):

The vast majority of the net amount of deposits paid for securities borrowed are reflected in the receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations line item while the deposits paid for securities borrowed under the fully paid lending program are reflected in other assets. Deposits received for securities loaned are reflected in the payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations line item in the consolidated balance sheet.
(2)
Included in the gross amounts of deposits paid for securities borrowed was $192 million and $65 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, transacted through a program with a clearing organization, which guarantees the return of cash to the Company. For presentation purposes, these amounts presented are based on the counterparties under the Company’s master securities loan agreements.
(3)
Included in the gross amounts of deposits received for securities loaned was $602 million and $543 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, transacted through a program with a clearing organization, which guarantees the return of securities to the Company. For presentation purposes, these amounts presented are based on the counterparties under the Company’s master securities loan agreements.

Table of Contents




E*TRADE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Securities borrowing transactions require the Company to deposit cash with the lender whereas securities lending transactions result in the Company receiving collateral in the form of cash, with both requiring cash in an amount generally in excess of the market value of the securities. These transactions have overnight or continuous remaining contractual maturities. Securities lending transactions expose the Company to counterparty credit risk and market risk. To manage the counterparty risk, the Company maintains internal standards for approving counterparties, reviews and analyzes the credit rating of each counterparty, and monitors its positions with each counterparty on an ongoing basis. In addition, for certain of the Company's securities lending transactions, the Company uses a program with a clearing organization that guarantees the return of collateral. The Company monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and loaned using collateral arrangements that require additional collateral to be obtained from or excess collateral to be returned to the counterparties based on changes in market value, to maintain specified collateral levels.
Derivative Transactions
Certain types of derivatives that the Company utilizes in its hedging activities are subject to derivatives clearing agreements (centrally cleared derivatives contracts). These cleared derivatives contracts enable clearing by a derivatives clearing organization through a clearing member. Under the contracts, the clearing member typically has a one-way right to offset all contracts in the event of the Company's default or bankruptcy. Collateral exchanged under these contracts is not included in the preceding table as the contracts may not qualify as master netting agreements. For financial statement purposes, the Company does not offset derivatives assets and derivative liabilities. See Note 7—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information.

The Company does not believe that any individual unrealized loss in the available-for-sale portfolio or unrecognized loss in the held-to-maturity portfolio as of March 31, 2019 represents a credit loss. The Company does not intend to sell the debt securities in an unrealized or unrecognized loss position as of the balance sheet date and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the debt securities before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost of the debt securities in an unrealized or unrecognized loss position at March 31, 2019.

Current CLTV calculations for home equity loans are based on the maximum available line for HELOCs and outstanding principal balance for HEILs. For home equity loans in the second lien position, the original balance of the first lien loan at origination date and updated valuations on the property underlying the loan are used to calculate CLTV. Current property value estimates are updated on a quarterly basis.
(2)
The average estimated current LTV/CLTV ratio reflects the outstanding balance at the balance sheet date and the maximum available line for HELOCs, divided by the estimated current value of the underlying property.
(3)
Average LTV/CLTV at loan origination calculations are based on LTV/CLTV at time of purchase for one- to four-family purchased loans, HEILs and the maximum available line for HELOCs.

One- to four-family loans include loans with an interest-only period, followed by an amortizing period. At March 31, 2019, 100% of these loans were amortizing. The home equity loan portfolio consists of HEILs and HELOCs. HEILs are primarily fully amortizing loans that do not offer the option of an interest-only payment. The majority of HELOCs had an interest only draw period at origination and converted to amortizing loans at the end of the draw period. At March 31, 2019, nearly 100% of the HELOC portfolio had converted from the interest-only draw period.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date, as well as the forecasted losses, including economic concessions to borrowers, over the estimated remaining life of loans modified as TDRs. The general allowance for loan losses includes a qualitative component to account for a variety of factors that present additional uncertainty that may not be fully considered in the quantitative loss model but are factors we believe may impact the level of credit losses.

(1)
Includes benefits resulting from recoveries of partial charge-offs due to principal paydowns or payoffs for the periods presented. The benefits included in the charge-offs line item exceeded other charge-offs for both one-to-four family and home equity loan portfolios during the period ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.
(2)
Securities-based lending loans were fully collateralized by cash and securities with fair values in excess of borrowings at both March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.
Total loans receivable designated as held-for-investment decreased $0.1 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The allowance for loan losses was $32 million or 1.6% of total loans receivable, as of March 31, 2019 compared to $37 million, or 1.7% of total loans receivable, as of December 31, 2018. Net recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $7 million compared to $5 million in the same period in 2018.
The benefit for loan losses was $12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The timing and magnitude of the provision (benefit) for loan losses is affected by many factors that could result in variability. These benefits reflected better than expected performance of our portfolio as well as recoveries in excess of prior expectations, including sales of charged-off loans and recoveries of previous charge-offs that were not included in our loss estimates.

Impaired Loans—Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Company considers a loan to be impaired when it meets the definition of a TDR. Delinquency status is the primary measure the Company uses to evaluate the performance of loans modified as TDRs. The Company classifies loans as nonperforming when they are no longer accruing interest. The recorded investment in loans modified as TDRs includes the charge-offs related to certain loans that were written down to estimated current value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs.

Credit Risk
As the majority of the derivatives that the Company utilizes in its hedging activities are subject to derivatives clearing agreements (cleared derivatives contracts), the credit risk associated with these cleared derivatives contracts is largely mitigated by the daily variation margin exchanged with counterparties. For other derivative contracts, the Company also monitors collateral requirements through credit support agreements, which reduce risk by permitting the netting of transactions with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of certain events. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the consideration of counterparty credit risk did not result in an adjustment to the valuation of the Company’s derivative instruments.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 10—LEASE ARRANGEMENTS
The Company enters into non-cancelable operating leases for its corporate offices, retail branches and other facilities. These leases have remaining terms ranging from less than one to 13 years, and the weighted-average remaining lease term for these leases is 9.1 years. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term up to 10 years. Only those renewal terms that the Company is reasonably certain of exercising are included in the calculation of the lease liability. Leases that have not yet commenced at March 31, 2019 will have an immaterial impact on the Company's right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Certain lease agreements include rental payments based on power usage, and certain others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation or costs incurred by the lessor. None of the Company's current lease agreements contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The following table presents balance sheet information related to the Company's classification of ROU assets and operating lease liabilities (dollars in millions):
 
 
Classification
 
March 31, 2019
Operating lease assets, net
 
Other assets
 
$
201

Operating lease liabilities
 
Other liabilities
 
$

The Company utilizes incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of lease payments for each lease. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate estimates are based on the terms of each lease as well as the interest rate environment at the later of the adoption date of January 1, 2019, lease commencement date or lease remeasurement date. The incremental borrowing rate has also been adjusted to reflect a secured rate. A weighted-average discount rate of 4.4% was used to calculate the lease liability balances for the Company's operating leases.
Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all property leases for the purposes of calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities.
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $7 million. The following table presents the significant components of lease expense (dollars in millions):

The Company executed a sale-leaseback transaction on its Alpharetta, Georgia office in 2014. The transaction was initially accounted for as a financing as it did not qualify for sale accounting. The Company evaluated this transaction as part of the adoption of the new lease guidance in 2019 and concluded that it did not qualify for sale accounting and should continue to be accounted for as a financing. The office building is included in the property and equipment, net line item and the related financing obligation is included in the other liabilities line item in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Future minimum lease payments and sublease proceeds to be received under the lease are $28 million and $12 million, respectively.

NOTE 12—EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income available to common shareholders, or net income less preferred stock dividends, represents the numerator used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share. The denominators used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share are basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, respectively.
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding were 246.3 million and 266.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The difference between basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding includes the weighted-average dilutive impact of securities, including restricted stock units and awards, dividend equivalent units, employee stock purchase plan shares and stock options, as well as the weighted-average dilutive impact of convertible debentures. This activity represented 0.6 million and 1.1 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and resulted in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding of 246.9 million and 267.7 million for the same periods. The amount of certain restricted stock and options excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per common share due to the anti-dilutive effect was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

NOTE 13—REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

Broker-Dealer and FCM Capital Requirements
The Company's US broker-dealer, E*TRADE Securities, is subject to the Uniform Net Capital Rule under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 administered by the SEC and FINRA, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. The minimum net capital requirements can be met under either the Aggregate Indebtedness method or the Alternative method. Under the Aggregate Indebtedness method, a broker-dealer is required to maintain net capital equal to or in excess of the greater of 6 2/3% of its aggregate indebtedness, as defined, or a minimum dollar amount. E*TRADE Securities has elected the Alternative method, under which it is required to maintain net capital equal to the greater of $250,000 or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions. The Company’s international broker-dealer subsidiary is subject to capital requirements determined by its respective regulator.
The Company's FCM, E*TRADE Futures, is subject to CFTC net capital requirements, including the maintenance of adjusted net capital equal to or in excess of the greater of (1) $1,000,000, (2) the FCM's risk-based capital requirement, computed as 8% of the total risk margin requirements for all positions carried in customer and non-customer accounts, or (3) the amount of adjusted net capital required by the NFA.
At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all of the Company’s broker-dealer and FCM subsidiaries met applicable minimum net capital requirements. The following table presents a summary of the minimum net capital requirements and excess capital for the Company’s broker-dealer and FCM subsidiaries (dollars in millions):

Bank Capital Requirements
E*TRADE Financial and its bank subsidiaries, E*TRADE Bank and E*TRADE Savings Bank, are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial condition and results of operations of these entities. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, these entities must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of

assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. In addition, the Company's bank subsidiaries may not pay dividends to the parent company without the non-objection, or in certain cases the approval, of their regulators, and any loans by the bank subsidiaries to the parent company or its other non-bank subsidiaries are subject to various quantitative, arm’s length, collateralization and other requirements. The capital amounts and classifications of these entities are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require these entities to meet minimum Tier 1 leverage, Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and Total risk-based capital ratios. Events beyond management's control, such as deterioration in credit markets, could adversely affect future earnings and their ability to meet future capital requirements. E*TRADE Financial, E*TRADE Bank and E*TRADE Savings Bank were categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action for the periods presented in the following table (dollars in millions):

E*TRADE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 14—COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company reviews its lawsuits, regulatory inquiries and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and provides disclosure and records loss contingencies in accordance with the loss contingencies accounting guidance. The Company establishes an accrual for losses at management's best estimate when it assesses that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company monitors these matters for developments that would affect the likelihood of a loss and the accrued amount, if any, and adjusts the amount as appropriate.
Litigation Matters
On October 27, 2000, Ajaxo, Inc. (Ajaxo) filed a complaint in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Santa Clara. Ajaxo sought damages and certain non-monetary relief for the Company’s alleged breach of a non-disclosure agreement with Ajaxo pertaining to certain wireless technology that Ajaxo offered the Company as well as damages and other relief against the Company for their alleged misappropriation of Ajaxo’s trade secrets. Following a jury trial, a judgment was entered in 2003 in favor of Ajaxo against the Company for $1 million for breach of the Ajaxo non-disclosure agreement. The trial court subsequently denied Ajaxo’s requests for additional damages and relief following which Ajaxo appealed. Although the Company paid Ajaxo the full amount due on the above-described judgment, the case was remanded back to the trial court by the California Court of Appeals, and on May 30, 2008, a jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company denying all claims raised and demands for damages against the Company. After various appeals the case was again remanded back to the trial court. Following the third trial in this matter, in a Judgment and Statement of Decision filed September 16, 2015, the Court denied all claims for royalties by Ajaxo. Ajaxo’s post-trial motions were denied. Ajaxo has appealed to the Court of Appeals, Sixth District. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in this matter.
On December 26, 2018, a draft FINRA Dispute Resolution Statement of Claim was received on behalf of an E*TRADE customer and the customer's limited liability company. The draft Statement of Claim alleges that E*TRADE Securities, E*TRADE Capital Management and John Does I-XII violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, committed common law fraud, breached fiduciary duties, breached contractual duties, failed to supervise, and were negligent in the maintenance of the LLC’s accounts. The claim relates to margin liquidations from the LLC's accounts in February 2018. No arbitration has yet been filed, but the Company intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter.
In addition to the matters described above, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. In each pending matter, the Company contests liability or the amount of claimed damages. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, or where investigation or discovery have yet to be completed, the Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses on its remaining outstanding legal proceedings; however, the Company believes any losses, both individually or in the aggregate, should not be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
An unfavorable outcome in any matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, even if the ultimate outcomes are resolved in the Company’s favor, the defense of such litigation could entail considerable cost or the diversion of the efforts of management, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

E*TRADE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Regulatory Matters
The securities, futures, foreign currency and banking industries are subject to extensive regulation under federal, state and applicable international laws. From time to time, the Company has been threatened with or named as a defendant in lawsuits, arbitrations and administrative claims involving securities, banking and other matters. The Company is also subject to periodic regulatory examinations and inspections. Compliance and trading problems that are reported to regulators, such as the SEC, FINRA, NASDAQ, CFTC, NFA, FDIC, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, OCC, or the CFPB by dissatisfied customers or others are investigated by such regulators, and may, if pursued, result in formal claims being filed against the Company by customers or disciplinary action being taken against the Company or its employees by regulators. Any such claims or disciplinary actions that are decided against the Company could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Insurance
The Company maintains insurance coverage that management believes is reasonable and prudent. The principal insurance coverage it maintains covers commercial general liability; property damage; hardware/software damage; cyber liability; directors and officers; employment practices liability; certain criminal acts against the Company; and errors and omissions. The Company believes that such insurance coverage is adequate for the purpose of its business. The Company’s ability to maintain this level of insurance coverage in the future, however, is subject to the availability of affordable insurance in the marketplace.
Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments to extend credit and incur contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. Significant changes in the economy or interest rates may influence the impact that these commitments and contingencies have on the Company in the future.
The Company’s equity method, cost method and other investments are generally limited liability investments in partnerships, companies and other similar entities, including tax credit partnerships and community development entities, which are not required to be consolidated. The Company had $61 million in unfunded contingent investment commitments with respect to these investments at March 31, 2019.
At March 31, 2019, the Company had $16 million of certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year.
Guarantees
In prior periods when the Company sold loans, the Company provided guarantees to investors purchasing mortgage loans, which are considered standard representations and warranties within the mortgage industry. The primary guarantees are that: the mortgage and the mortgage note have been duly executed and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms; the mortgage has been duly acknowledged and recorded and is valid; and the mortgage and the mortgage note are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. The Company is responsible for the guarantees on loans sold. If these claims prove to be untrue, the investor can require the Company to repurchase the loan and return all loan purchase and servicing release premiums. Management does not believe the potential liability exposure will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition due to the

(b)
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
