Preface

The Federal Reserve promotes a safe, sound, and
efficient banking and financial system that supports
the growth and stability of the U.S. economy
through its supervision of bank holding companies
(BHCs), U.S. intermediate holding company (IHC)
subsidiaries of foreign banking organizations,
savings and loan holding companies, and state
member banks.
The Federal Reserve has established frameworks and
programs for the supervision of the largest and most
complex financial institutions to achieve its supervisory objectives, incorporating lessons learned from
the 2007–09 financial crisis and in the period since.
As part of these supervisory frameworks and programs, the Federal Reserve through its supervisory
stress test assesses whether BHCs and U.S. IHCs
with $100 billion or more in total consolidated assets
(together, firms) are sufficiently capitalized to absorb
losses during stressful conditions while meeting obligations to creditors and counterparties and continuing to be able to lend to households and businesses.
The Federal Reserve Board first adopted rules implementing these frameworks and programs in October 2012 and most recently modified these rules in
March 2020.1
1

On October 10, 2019, the Board finalized a rule to amend its
prudential standards to exempt firms with total consolidated

Each year, the Federal Reserve publicly discloses the
results of its supervisory stress test, as implemented
pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act. This document includes
the results of the Federal Reserve’s December 2020
supervisory stress test for the capital plan resubmission, including revenues, expenses, losses, pre-tax net
income, and capital ratios projected under adverse
economic and financial conditions. These results are
projected using a set of models developed or selected
by the Federal Reserve that take as inputs the Federal Reserve’s scenarios and firm-provided data on
their financial conditions and risk characteristics.

assets of less than $100 billion from the supervisory stress test
and to subject certain firms with total consolidated assets
between $100 billion and $250 billion to the supervisory stress
test requirements on a two-year cycle (84 Fed. Reg. 59032
(Nov. 1, 2019)). Firms with $250 billion or more in total
consolidated assets or material levels of other risk factors
remain subject to the supervisory stress test requirements on an
annual basis.
On March 4, 2020, the Board approved a rule to simplify its
capital rules for large firms through the establishment of
the stress capital buffer requirement, which integrates the
Board’s stress test results with its non-stress capital requirements (85 Fed. Reg. 15576 (Mar. 18, 2020)).

Executive Summary

In June, the Federal Reserve released the results of
its annual supervisory stress test2 and the results of a
sensitivity analysis, which assessed the resilience of
firms under a range of plausible downside scenarios
stemming from the outbreak of the coronavirus and
the imposition of associated containment measures
(“COVID event”).3 Those results indicated that the
banking sector was sufficiently capitalized and could
continue lending to businesses and households during a severe recession.

However, material uncertainty was present at the
time regarding the trajectory of the economic recovery and its effects on the financial health of banking
organizations. As a result, the Board required the
33 firms to resubmit their capital plans and limited
the capital distributions by these firms in order to
preserve capital and support lending. The Board also
announced that it would conduct an additional stress
test in late 2020.
Net income declined in 2020 relative to 2019, but
firms reduced net common capital distributions and
retained more of that income (see figure 1). The
decline in capital distributions is partly due to
actions taken by the Board to limit capital distributions for the third and fourth quarters of 2020. Combined with firms’ voluntary capital distribution
reductions, these actions helped to maintain, and
slightly increase, aggregate capital levels during a
year in which firms also built loss absorbing capacity
by more than doubling loan-loss reserves. The aggregate common equity tier 1 capital (CET1) ratio
increased from 12.0 percent in the fourth quarter of

2019 to 12.2 percent in the second quarter of 2020
and to 12.7 percent by the third quarter of 2020.
The results of the December 2020 stress test show
that firms maintain strong capital levels under two
hypothetical severe scenarios. The scenarios feature
severe global downturns with substantial stress in
financial markets that serve to capture a broad set of
severe but plausible risks.4 Projected losses under
both scenarios exceed $600 billion, considerably
larger than in the June 2020 stress test. However, the
large reserve buildup during the first half of the year
helped cushion some of the increase in losses, and all
firms remain above their minimum risk-based capital
requirements. Table 1 shows the starting and poststress minimum ratios for both scenarios in aggregate (see appendix B for the full results for each firm).
Macroeconomic and financial conditions have generally improved since June 2020. Despite these
improvements, future economic conditions and the

ultimate path of the current recovery remain uncertain, depending on the course of the COVID event.
In light of this uncertainty, the Board is extending its
limits on capital distributions into the first quarter of
2021, with certain modifications.
In particular, for all firms, the Board will

recent income, and

vidual firms, do not include the effect of common
stock dividend distributions.
For the December stress test, aggregate losses over
the projection horizon at the 33 firms are projected
to be $629 billion under the severely adverse scenario
and $612 billion under the alternative severe scenario. For the June stress test, total losses under the
severely adverse scenario were $550 billion for the
same 33 firms.

• limit share repurchases based on recent income.
These restrictions will apply into the first quarter of
2021 and may be extended by the Board.

Despite higher loan losses compared to the June
stress test, projected provisions for loan losses are
smaller. Provisions are projected to be $429 billion
under the severely adverse scenario and $440 billion

In the severely adverse scenario, the aggregate CET1
ratio falls from an actual value of 12.2 percent in the
second quarter of 2020 to a projected minimum of

the third quarter of 2022. In the alternative severe

the end of the third quarter of 2022. The declines in

2009:Q1

The results of the December stress test suggest that,
in the aggregate, the 33 firms would experience substantial losses and lower revenues under the hypothetical recessions but could continue lending to
creditworthy businesses and households. This is due,
in large part, to the substantial buildup of capital
since the 2007–09 financial crisis (see figure 2) and
more than a doubling of loan-loss reserves during
the first half of 2020. In aggregate, capital ratios
remain well above their required minimum levels
throughout the projection horizon under both
scenarios.

Note: The Federal Reserve’s evaluation of a firm’s common equity capital was initially measured using a tier 1 common capital ratio but now is evaluated using a
common equity tier 1 capital ratio, which was introduced into the regulatory capital framework with the implementation of Basel III to replace Basel I. Not all of the

under the alternative severe scenario, while provisions were $489 billion for the June stress test. This
difference reflects a significant increase in firms’
loan-loss reserves since the beginning of the year. If
firms had maintained the same level of loan-loss
reserves as in the fourth quarter of 2019, projected
provisions would be about $100 billion higher for
both scenarios in this stress test.

economic and financial conditions as of September 2020. For example, the unemployment rate in
April, when the sensitivity analysis scenarios were
designed, was 14.7 percent, and the sensitivity analysis added further stress to that figure; by September,
the unemployment rate had declined to 7.9 percent,
which was the base to which further stress was added
for the December stress test.

Lower provisions are offset by lower aggregate projected pre-provision net revenue (PPNR) than in the
June stress test. PPNR in the December stress test
under the severely adverse scenario and alternative
severe scenario is projected to be $371 billion and
$363 billion, respectively. For the June stress test,
PPNR under the severely adverse scenario was
$430 billion for the same 33 firms. These decreases
are partly attributable to a flatter yield curve in both
scenarios, which reduces net interest margins.

Loan losses under the December stress test scenarios
are higher compared to the June stress test scenario,
but are lower than losses under the alternative downside scenarios in the sensitivity analysis, due to the
higher severity of those scenarios. Aggregate projected loan losses under the alternative downside scenarios ranged from around $560 billion to just over
$700 billion, compared to $514 billion and $491 billion under the severely adverse and alternative severe
scenarios for the December stress test, respectively.

Provisions for loan losses and PPNR are the main
drivers of pre-tax net income. Lower projected provisions approximately offset reduced PPNR so that the
projected decline in pre-tax net income is similar to
that of the June stress test. The projected decline in
pre-tax net income is 0.9 percent of average total
assets for the severely adverse scenario and 1.1 percent for the alternative severe scenario, compared to
a decline of 1.1 percent in the June stress test.

The minimum CET1 ratio fell to between 7.7 and
9.5 percent under the various scenarios considered in
the sensitivity analysis. This range is lower than the
December stress test’s projected minimum ratios of
9.6 and 9.7 percent under the severely adverse and
alternative severe scenarios, respectively. The difference is partly attributable to the increase in loan-loss
reserves during the first half of 2020.

Further details of the results are provided in the
“Supervisory Stress Test Results” section of this
report, which are presented both in the aggregate
and for individual firms.

Overview

Comparison to the Sensitivity Analysis
The results from the December stress test, while similar to those of the June stress test, are less severe than
the sensitivity analysis results published earlier this
year. The sensitivity analysis explored a set of alternative downside scenarios, which were designed in
early April and reflected the wide range of projections
at the time by professional forecasters for key macroeconomic indicators, such as the unemployment rate
and gross domestic product (GDP).
In contrast, the December stress test scenarios were
developed as plausible but severe, given the macro-

Supervisory Scenarios

On September 17, 2020, the Federal Reserve published the three supervisory scenarios for its December stress test: baseline, severely adverse, and alternative severe.7 This section describes the severely
adverse and alternative severe scenarios that were
used for the projections contained in this report.
These scenarios were developed using the approach
described in the Board’s Policy Statement on the
Scenario Design Framework for Stress Testing (“Scenario Design Framework”).8 The severely adverse
and alternative severe scenarios are not forecasts but
rather hypothetical scenarios designed to assess the
strength of banking organizations and their resilience to an unfavorable economic environment.

Similar to the June stress test, the Federal Reserve
applied a global market shock to the trading portfolio of 11 firms with large trading and private equity
exposures and a largest counterparty default
(LCPD) scenario component to 13 firms with substantial trading, processing, or custodial operations
(see “Global Market Shock and Counterparty
Default Components”).

The December supervisory scenarios include trajectories for 28 variables. These include 16 variables
that capture economic activity, asset prices, and
interest rates in the U.S. economy and financial markets, and an additional three variables (real GDP
growth, inflation, and the U.S./foreign currency
exchange rate) for each of four foreign country blocs.

assumptions for the supervisory scenarios.

The severely adverse scenario is characterized by a
severe decline in global economic activity accompanied by financial market distress. Consistent with the
Scenario Design Framework, under the severely
adverse scenario, the U.S. unemployment rate climbs
to a peak of 12½ percent in the fourth quarter of
2021 (see table A.5), a 3 percentage point increase
relative to the initial level, the level in the third quarter of 2020.9 In line with the increase in the unemployment rate, real GDP falls 3¼ percent from the
end of the third quarter of 2020 to its trough in the
fourth quarter of 2021. The decline in activity is
9

The Scenario Design Framework suggests an increase in the
unemployment rate in the range between 3 and 5 percentage
points from its initial level, with the expectation that the Federal
Reserve will select an increase from the lower end of the range
when the unemployment rate is already elevated. Given the
release of the scenarios late in the third quarter of 2020, the initial level from which the peak unemployment rate in the scenario was computed was based on the forecast from Blue Chip
Economic Indicators for the third quarter of 2020. See Wolters
Kluwer Legal and Regulatory Solutions, Blue Chip Economic
Indicators.

index (CPI) inflation rate, which quickly falls to an
annual rate of about 1¼ percent in the fourth quarter of 2020, and then ranges from 1¼ percent to
about 2¼ percent in the remaining quarters.
In the later quarters of the scenario, the unemployment rate declines at a pace comparable with the
paths of severely adverse scenarios used in previous

stress testing cycles. Over the scenario period, despite
the reduction in the unemployment rate, the level of
real GDP does not rise above the level in the baseline
scenario.
Consistent with the severe decline in real activity, the
interest rate for 3-month Treasury bills remains near
zero throughout the scenario period. The 10-year
Treasury yield rises gradually from about ¼ percent
during the fourth quarter of 2020 to about 1½ percent by the end of the scenario period. The result is a
steepening of the yield curve over the scenario period.

The international component of this scenario features sharp slowdowns in all developed country
blocs, leading to recessions in the euro area, the
United Kingdom, and Japan. Developing Asia has
only a mild slowdown in economic activity in the scenario. With the continued weakness in economic
activity, all of the foreign economies included in the
scenario experience sizable declines in their inflation
rates during the scenario period. The U.S. dollar
appreciates against the euro, the pound sterling, and
the currencies of developing Asia, but depreciates
slightly against the yen, reflecting flight-to-safety
capital flows.

Financial conditions in corporate and real estate
lending markets are stressed significantly. The spread
between yields on investment-grade corporate bonds
and yields on long-term Treasury securities widens to
almost 5¾ percentage points before narrowing to
about 1¾ percentage points at the end of the scenario period. The spread between mortgage rates
and 10-year Treasury yields widens to about 3½ percentage points early in 2021 before gradually falling
to about 1¾ percentage points by the end of the
scenario.
Asset prices drop sharply in this scenario. Equity
prices decline more than 30 percent from the third to
the fourth quarter of 2020, as the economy contracts
sharply, and the U.S. Market Volatility Index (VIX)
rises to a peak level of 70. Equity prices continue to
fall in the first half of 2021 before gradually recovering, leaving them down about 23 percent for the year.
They continue to recover but close the scenario
period down about 4¾ percent from their value in
the initial quarter. House prices and commercial real
estate (CRE) prices also experience large declines.
House prices fall about 26¾ percent from the third
quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2022; from
that trough, they rise about 4½ percent during the
rest of the scenario period. CRE prices decline
30 percent from the third quarter of 2020 to the
fourth quarter of 2022 and stay close to that level for
the remainder of the scenario period.

Additional Key Features of the Severely
Adverse Scenario
Stresses in the corporate loan market were assumed
to be more intense for lower-rated firms. Declines in
aggregate U.S. residential and CRE prices were
assumed to be concentrated in regions that have
experienced rapid price gains over the past two years.
Declines in prices of U.S. housing and CRE were
also assumed to be representative of risks to house
prices and CRE prices in foreign regions and economies that have experienced rapid price gains over the
past two years. Moreover, conditions across Latin
American economies were assumed to be comparable to the sharp slowdown in the United States.

Comparison of the Current Severely
Adverse Scenario and the June 2020
Severely Adverse Scenario
The severely adverse scenario features a smaller
increase in the unemployment rate in the United
States compared with the June severely adverse scenario. However, the current severely adverse scenario
starts from a significantly higher unemployment rate,
reflecting current economic conditions. The smaller
increase in the unemployment rate reflects the Scenario Design Framework, which calls for a smaller
increase in the unemployment rate when the unemployment rate is already elevated.
As of September 10, 2020, the consensus forecast
from Blue Chip Economic Indicators had an unemployment rate of 9½ percent in the third quarter of
2020.10 Given the weak initial economic conditions,
the Scenario Design Framework calls for a 3 percent10

Economic Indicators.

age point increase in the unemployment rate.
Accordingly, the unemployment rate in the current
severely adverse scenario reaches a peak of 12½ percent. Interest rates rise in the current scenario, given
their low starting values, whereas they fell in the June
scenario. Asset price declines are comparable with
the declines in the June scenario.

Alternative Severe Scenario
This alternative scenario is consistent with a number
of potential adverse events, including a series of second waves of the COVID event that are not synchronized across different regions of the United States
and the rest of the world, and related structural
changes in labor markets. Accordingly, the alternative severe scenario is characterized by a less-severe
initial drop in global economic activity relative to the
severely adverse scenario, and a subsequent recovery
that is more sluggish. Financial market stress is comparable with the stress assumed in the severely
adverse scenario. The alternative severe scenario is
designed to assess the strength and resilience of
banking organizations to an alternative set of unfavorable economic conditions and is not a Federal
Reserve forecast.
Under the alternative severe scenario, the U.S. unemployment rate climbs to a peak of about 11 percent
in the fourth quarter of 2020 (see table A.7). This
1½ percentage point increase in the unemployment
rate departs from the Scenario Design Framework,
which would call for the unemployment rate to rise at
least 3 percentage points and to peak between the
sixth and the eighth quarter of the scenario.11 The
unemployment rate stays at its 11 percent peak
through the fourth quarter of 2021. By that quarter,
the unemployment rate is about 4½ percentage
points higher than in the baseline scenario, but
1½ percentage points lower than in the severely
adverse scenario. However, by the end of the scenario period, the relationship with the severely
adverse scenario is reversed: the unemployment rate
in the alternative severe scenario is 9 percent in the
third quarter of 2023, about 1½ percentage points
higher than in the severely adverse scenario.
11

The approach described in the Scenario Design Framework
includes the ability to incorporate salient risks, as might be
required by unusual economic circumstances. Accordingly, the
alternative severe scenario is characterized by a less-severe initial increase in the U.S. unemployment rate than called for by
the Scenario Design Framework, but this increase is also more
persistent.

Consistent with the increase in the unemployment
rate, real GDP falls at an annualized rate of 9 percent
in the fourth quarter of 2020 and then rises about
2 percent in 2021. Real GDP growth picks up over
the remainder of the scenario period. The decline in
activity is accompanied by a lower headline CPI
inflation rate, which quickly falls to an annual rate of
about 1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2020, and
then is relatively steady over the rest of the
13-quarter period, ranging from 1¾ to 2¼ percent.
In line with the prolonged weakness in real activity,
the interest rate for 3-month Treasury bills remains
near zero throughout the scenario, which is identical
to the path assumed in the severely adverse scenario.
The 10-year Treasury yield rises gradually from
¼ percent during the third quarter of 2020 to
1¾ percent by the end of the scenario period. The
result is a slightly greater steepening of the yield
curve over the scenario period than in the severely
adverse scenario.
Financial conditions in corporate and real estate
lending markets are stressed significantly. The spread
between yields on investment-grade corporate bonds
and yields on long-term Treasury securities widens
gradually to about 5¾ percentage points in the third
quarter of 2021 before falling to 2¾ percentage
points at the end of the scenario period, an increase
of 1 percentage point relative to the third quarter of
2020 and ¾ percentage point higher than assumed in
the severely adverse scenario. The spread between
mortgage rates and 10-year Treasury yields widens to
about 3¼ percentage points in the fourth quarter of
2020; it remains near this level through the fourth
quarter of 2021 before gradually declining, and
reaches 2 percentage points at the end of the scenario period. This end point is ¼ percentage point
higher than in the severely adverse scenario, reflecting the persistently weaker level of activity assumed
in this alternative scenario.
Asset prices drop sharply in this scenario. Equity
prices remain depressed longer than in the severely
adverse scenario, bottoming out at the end, rather
than the middle, of 2021. They fall about 16¼ percent from the third to the fourth quarter of 2020 as
the economy contracts; this decline in equity prices is
accompanied by a rise in the VIX, which reaches a
peak of 70. Equity prices continue to fall through
2021, and at the end of 2021 are almost 50 percent
lower than in the third quarter of 2020. They recover
through the rest of the scenario period and end the
scenario down about 13½ percent from the third

9

quarter of 2020. The VIX gradually decreases to 28
by the end of the scenario period. House prices and
CRE prices also experience large overall declines.
House prices fall 27 percent through the fourth quarter of 2022 and recover 3¾ percent through the rest
of the scenario period, a path of house prices similar
to the path in the severely adverse scenario. CRE
prices decline 30 percent through the end of 2022
and stay close to that level for the remainder of the
scenario, a path that matches the one in the severely
adverse scenario.
In line with domestic developments, the international
component of this scenario features a less-severe initial contraction in global economic activity than in
the severely adverse scenario, but a less-robust recovery thereafter. With the continued weakness in economic activity, all of the foreign economies included
in the scenario experience sizable declines in their
inflation rates during the scenario period. As in the
severely adverse scenario, the U.S. dollar initially
appreciates against the euro, the pound sterling, and
the currencies of developing Asia, but depreciates
slightly against the yen, consistent with flight-tosafety capital flows.

Additional Key Features of the Alternative
Severe Scenario
Stresses in the corporate loan market were assumed
to be more intense for lower-rated firms. Declines in
aggregate U.S. residential and CRE prices were
assumed to be concentrated in regions that have
experienced rapid price gains over the past two years.
Declines in prices of U.S. housing and CRE were
also assumed to be representative of risks to house
prices and CRE prices in foreign regions and economies that have experienced rapid price gains over the
past two years. Moreover, conditions across Latin
American economies were assumed to be comparable to the sharp slowdown in the United States.

analysis released in June, albeit the rise in the unemployment rate envisaged in the new scenario is
smaller but more persistent. These changes in the
peak of the unemployment rate in the alternative
severe scenario are in line with revisions to the forecasts of professional forecasters since June. Data
released for the end of the second quarter and the
first part of the third quarter of 2020 have generally
led professional forecasters to revise downward the
level of the unemployment rate expected to prevail
during the remainder of 2020 and have significantly
compressed the range of forecasts.

Comparison of the Alternative Severe
Scenario and the June 2020 Severely
Adverse Scenario
The June severely adverse scenario was designed and
published before the onset of the COVID event. The
alternative severe scenario features a smaller increase
in the unemployment rate in the United States compared with the June severely adverse scenario. However, the alternative severe scenario starts from a significantly higher unemployment rate, reflecting current economic conditions. The relatively smaller
increase in the unemployment rate departs from the
Scenario Design Framework, which would call for
the unemployment rate to rise at least 3 percentage
points and to peak between the sixth and the eighth
quarter of the scenario. Moreover, the unemployment rate remains near its peak for a greater number
of periods. On the financial side, asset price declines
are broadly consistent with those in the June
scenario.

Global Market Shock and
Counterparty Default Components

In June 2020, the Federal Reserve used several scenarios for additional sensitivity analysis to explore
vulnerabilities of firms related to the COVID
event.12 The sources of stress considered in the alternative severe scenario are comparable to those for
the W- and U-shaped scenarios for the sensitivity

The global market shock is a set of hypothetical
shocks to a large set of risk factors reflecting general
market distress and heightened uncertainty. Firms
with significant trading activity must consider the
global market shock and recognize associated losses
in the first quarter of the projection period. In addition, certain large and highly interconnected firms
must apply the same global market shock when projecting losses under the LCPD scenario component.13 The global market shock is applied to asset
positions held by the firms on a given as-of date. The

12

Comparison of the Alternative Severe
Scenario and the Sensitivity Analysis
Alternative Downside Scenarios

The scenarios in that sensitivity analysis had a more rapid and
more pronounced increase in the unemployment rate than what
is suggested by the Scenario Design Framework.

All firms that were subject to the global market shock and
LCPD components for the June stress test are also subject to
the same components for the December stress test.

10

December 2020 Stress Test Results

as-of date for the December stress test global market
shock is June 30, 2020. These shocks do not represent a forecast of the Federal Reserve.
The design and specification of the global market
shock differ from those for the macroeconomic scenarios for several reasons. First, profits and losses
from trading and counterparty credit are measured
in mark-to-market terms, while revenues and losses
from traditional banking are generally measured
using the accrual method. Another key difference is
the timing of loss recognition: the global market
shock affects the mark-to-market value of trading
positions and counterparty credit losses in the first
quarter of the projection horizon; this timing is
based on an observation that market dislocations can
happen rapidly and unpredictably under stress conditions. Applying the global market shock in the first
quarter of the projection horizon ensures that potential losses from trading and counterparty exposures
are incorporated into trading firms’ capital ratios at
all points over the projection period.
The global market shock component is specified by a
large set of risk factors that include, but are not limited to,
• equity prices of key developed markets and developing and emerging market nations to which trading companies may have exposure, along with
selected points along term structures of implied
volatilities;
• foreign exchange rates of most major and some
minor currencies, along with selected points along
term structures of implied volatilities;
• selected-maturity sovereign debt yields (e.g., Treasury yields), swap rates, and other key rates for key
developed markets and for developing and emerging market nations to which trading companies
may have exposure;
• selected maturities and expiries of implied volatilities that are key inputs to the pricing of interest
rate derivatives;
• selected expiries of futures prices for energy products, including crude oil (differentiated by country
of origin), natural gas, and power;
• selected expiries of futures prices for metals and
agricultural commodities; and
• credit spreads or prices for selected credit-sensitive
products, including corporate bonds, credit default
swaps, and loans by risk; non-agency residential
mortgage-backed securities and commercial

mortgage-backed securities by risk and vintage;
sovereign debt; and municipal bonds.
The Federal Reserve considers emerging and ongoing areas of financial market vulnerability in the
development of the global market shock. This assessment of potential vulnerabilities is informed by
financial stability reports; supervisory information;
and internal and external assessments of potential
sources of distress such as geopolitical, economic,
and financial market events.
The global market shock includes a standardized set
of risk-factor shocks to financial market variables
that apply to all firms with significant trading activity. Depending on the type of financial market vulnerabilities that the global market shock assesses, the
market shocks could be based on a single historical
episode, multiple historical periods, hypothetical (but
plausible) events that are based on salient risks, or a
hybrid approach comprising some combination of
historical episodes and hypothetical events. A market
shock based on hypothetical events may result in
changes in risk factors that were not previously
observed.
Risk-factor shocks are calibrated based on assumed
time horizons. The calibration horizons reflect a
number of considerations related to the scenario
being modeled. One important consideration is the
liquidity characteristics of different risk factors,
which vary based on the specified market shock narrative. More specifically, calibration horizons reflect
the variation in the speed at which trading companies could reasonably close out, or effectively hedge,
risk exposures in the event of market stress. The calibration horizons are generally longer than the typical
time needed to liquidate assets under normal conditions because they are designed to capture the unpredictable liquidity conditions that prevail in times of
stress, among other factors.14 For example, moreliquid asset classes, such as interest rates, foreign
exchange, or public equities, are calibrated to shorter
horizons, such as three months, while less-liquid
assets, such as non-agency securitized products or
private equities, have longer calibration horizons,
such as 12 months.
14

Markets that are well-functioning and that appear to be very
liquid can undergo abrupt changes in times of financial stress,
and the timing and severity of changes in market liquidity may
diverge from historical experience. For example, prior to the
2007–09 financial crisis, AAA-rated private-label residential
mortgage-backed securities would likely have been considered
highly liquid, but their liquidity deteriorated drastically during
the crisis period.

11

Severely Adverse and Alternative Severe
Scenarios
Both the severely adverse and alternative severe scenarios include the same global market shock component, which incorporates widespread corporate
defaults, ratings downgrades, severe declines in
equity values, and increases in equity-implied volatility resulting from a worsening recession.
Spreads widen sharply for non-investment grade and
lower-rated investment grade bonds as ratingssensitive investors anticipate further downgrades and
sell assets. Similarly, the leveraged loan market
comes under considerable pressure from decreased
demand. Open-ended mutual funds and exchangetraded funds (ETFs) that hold leveraged loans and
high-yield bonds face heavy redemptions. Due to
liquidity mismatches, mutual fund and ETF managers sell their most liquid holdings, leading to more
extensive declines in the prices of fixed-income securities and other related assets. Price declines on leveraged loans flow through to the prices for collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). CLO prices suffer
severe corrections associated with the devaluation of
the underlying collateral and selling by concentrated
holders desiring to reduce risk.
The broad selloff of corporate bonds and leveraged
loans spills over to prices for other risky credit and
private equity instruments. Credit spreads for emerging market corporate credit and sovereign bonds
widen due to a fall in risk appetite and flight-tosafety considerations. Asset values for private equity
experience sizable declines as leveraged firms face
lower earnings and a weak economic outlook.
Municipal bond spreads widen in line with lower
municipal tax revenues associated with the severe
weakening of the U.S. economy.
Given the current low level of short-term interest
rates, short-term Treasury rates fall only slightly in
this scenario. Longer-term Treasury rates fall as a
result of flight-to-safety flows, but by a modest
amount given the already-low interest rate environment. Short-term U.S. interbank lending rates rise as
firms face increased funding pressure from a pullback in overnight lending, while longer-term swap
rates fall in line with the declines in long-term Treasury rates.
Flight-to-safety considerations cause the U.S. dollar
to appreciate somewhat against the currencies of

most advanced economies, with the Japanese yen as
a notable exception. The yen appreciates against the
U.S. dollar as investors view the yen as a safe-haven
currency. Flight-to-safety considerations cause precious metals to experience an increase in value while
non-precious metals prices fall as a result of lower
demand that in turn results from global economic
weakness.

Comparison to the June 2020 Severely
Adverse Scenario
The global market shock component is broadly consistent with the June severely adverse scenario as
both emphasize a heightened stress to highly leveraged markets that causes CLOs and private equity
investments to experience large market value
declines. Moreover, there is a general rise in shortterm interbank lending rates, highlighting a severe
increase in funding pressures. A key difference is a
milder decline in Treasury rates, which reflects that
policy rates are now closer to zero. Shocks to equity
values and short-term equity implied volatility are
substantially larger. Energy price declines and related
volatility increases are more pronounced, in general.
The Swiss franc depreciates instead of appreciates
against the U.S. dollar. Finally, stresses in the
municipal bond market are more severe.

Comparison to the Sensitivity Analysis
Alternative Downside Scenarios
The global market shock component reflects themes
similar to those highlighted in the sensitivity analysis
alternative downside scenarios. Key differences
include a milder decline in Treasury rates, which
reflects that policy rates are now closer to zero. Sovereign credit spreads widen less severely, particularly
in the European periphery. In addition, changes to
agency option-adjusted spreads are more modest
given the increase in spread levels since the as-of date
of the sensitivity analysis alternative downside
scenarios.

Counterparty Default Component for the
Supervisory Severely Adverse and
Alternative Severe Scenarios
Firms with substantial trading or custodial operations are required to incorporate a LCPD scenario
component for the resubmission of capital plans in
the fourth quarter of 2020. The LCPD scenario com-

12

December 2020 Stress Test Results

ponent involves the instantaneous and unexpected
default of the firm’s largest counterparty.15
In connection with the LCPD scenario component,
these firms are required to estimate and report the
potential losses and related effects on capital associated with the instantaneous and unexpected default
of the counterparty that would generate the largest
losses across their derivatives and securities financing
15

In selecting its largest counterparty, a firm subject to the LCPD
component will not consider certain sovereign entities (Canada,
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the
United States) or qualifying central counterparties (QCCP). See
definition of QCCP at 12 C.F.R. § 217.2.
IHCs are not required to include any affiliate of the U.S. IHC
as a counterparty. As in the U.S. final rule pursuant to the
Dodd–Frank Act for Single Counterparty Credit Limits, an
affiliate of the company includes a parent company of the
counterparty, as well as any other firm that is consolidated with
the counterparty under applicable accounting standards,
including U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards.

activities, including securities lending and repurchase
or reverse repurchase agreement activities. The
LCPD scenario component is an add-on to the macroeconomic conditions and financial market environments specified in the supervisory severely adverse
and alternative severe scenarios.
The largest counterparty of each firm is determined
by net stressed losses. Net stressed losses are estimated by applying the global market shock to
revalue non-cash securities financing transactions
(SFTs) (securities or collateral posted or received);
and, for derivatives, the trade position and non-cash
collateral exchanged. The as-of date for the December stress test LCPD scenario component is June 30,
2020—the same date as for the global market
shock.16
16

As with the global market shock, losses will be assumed to
occur in the first quarter of the projection horizon.

13

Box 1. Macroeconomic and Financial Conditions
Since the Federal Reserve published the June stress
test and sensitivity analysis results in the second
quarter, macroeconomic and financial conditions
have generally improved. Domestic and global policymakers responded to the deterioration in economic
conditions with extraordinary measures to stabilize
markets; to bolster the flow of credit to households,
businesses, and communities; and to ensure that
firms would remain resilient. The unemployment rate
in the United States, which had been at a 50-year
low at the start of 2020, soared to a post-war high of
14.7 percent in April before declining to 6.7 percent
in November.1 However, future economic conditions
remain unusually uncertain as prospects for many
businesses and unemployed workers largely depend
on the course of the COVID event.
Banking Sector
The COVID event continues to affect the banking
sector through its effects on business and household
borrowing, leverage, earnings, and liquidity. Corporate borrowing rose sharply in the first half of the year
along with a corresponding decline in business revenues to service those liabilities. Within CRE,
vacancy rates increased over the same period as
retail, office, and hotel properties exhibited the highest vulnerability. Household debt was moderate relative to income at the beginning of the year, but a further increase in unemployment may negatively affect
households’ abilities to repay that debt. In some
cases, certain severely affected sectors are particularly vulnerable to additional outbreaks or lockdowns.2
Market functioning has improved and asset valuations have generally increased since the second
quarter, partly due to policy actions, including asset
repurchases and facilities set up under section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. Nominal Treasury yields are at historically low levels, reflecting cautious expectations for economic growth and the Fed1

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UNRATE.
The unemployment rate in leisure and hospitality increased to
15.0 percent in November from 4.9 percent a year earlier. Overall
nonagricultural private employment saw a smaller increase from
3.2 to 6.5 percent over the same period. See BLS, The Employment Situation - November 2020,
https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/empsit_12042020.htm.

eral Reserve’s monetary policy stance. During the
most severe periods of stress in March and April,
spreads on corporate bonds over comparablematurity Treasury securities widened to their highest
daily levels since the financial crisis. Leveraged loan
spreads also widened in March and April, particularly
for lower-rated loans. Since then, spreads declined
substantially but remain quite elevated in heavily
affected industries, such as in energy, airline, and
leisure.
Firm earnings severely contracted in the first half of
the year due to an increase in loan loss provisions,
current expected credit loss methodology (CECL)
implementation, and decreased net interest margins.
These downward pressures on earnings were partly
offset by an increase in trading revenues for the largest firms as market-making and investment banking
fee income increased. The second and third quarter
surge in deposit inflows and the large buildup of
reserve balances associated with the Federal
Reserve’s large-scale asset purchases helped firms
manage liquidity pressures and reduce funding risk.
Firms started the year with strong levels of capital
and have maintained them throughout 2020, despite
a slight dip in the first quarter. Firms have also shored
up their capital substantially since the 2007–09 financial crisis, supported by post-crisis regulatory
reforms including stress testing.
Uncertainty Remains
Despite the rebound in economic activity and
improving investor sentiment, uncertainty around the
course of the COVID event remains high. This uncertainty reflects the possibility of continued virus outbreaks, future lockdown measures, and delays in
vaccine production or distribution. While fiscal stimulus and loss mitigation programs provided to date
have been a stabilizing factor for households and
businesses,3 many households and businesses could
face significant pressures if the COVID event
worsens.

Supervisory Stress Test Framework and
Model Methodology
Overview of Modeling Framework
The Federal Reserve estimates the effect of supervisory scenarios on the regulatory capital ratios of
firms participating in the supervisory stress test by
projecting net income and other components of
regulatory capital for each firm over a nine-quarter
projection horizon. Projected net income, adjusted
for the effect of taxes, is combined with noncommon capital action assumptions and other components of regulatory capital to produce post-stress
capital ratios. The Federal Reserve’s approach to
modeling post-stress capital ratios generally follows
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) and the regulatory capital framework.17
Figure 9 illustrates the framework used to calculate
changes in net income and regulatory capital.

Projecting Pre-tax Net Income
The Federal Reserve calculates projected pre-tax net
income for the firms subject to the supervisory stress
test by combining projections of revenue, expenses,
provisions for credit losses, and other losses,
including
• PPNR;
• provisions for credit losses;
• losses on loans held for sale (HFS) or for investment and measured under the fair-value option
(FVO);
• credit losses on investment securities in the
available-for-sale (AFS) and held-to-maturity
(HTM) portfolios;18
• losses on market risk exposures, credit valuation
adjustment (CVA), and incremental default risk
17
18

See 12 C.F.R. pt. 217.
For firms that have adopted Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) 2016-13, the Federal Reserve incorporated its projection
of expected credit losses on securities in the allowance for credit
losses, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB), Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic
326), FASB ASU 2016-13 (Norwalk, Conn.: FASB, June 2016).

(IDR) for firms subject to the global market
shock; and
• losses from a default of the largest counterparty
for firms with substantial trading, processing, or
custodial operations.
The Federal Reserve projects these components of
pre-tax net income using supervisory models that

16

December 2020 Stress Test Results

take the Board’s scenarios and firm-provided data as
inputs. The projections are based on the assumption
that firms’ balance sheets remain unchanged
throughout the projection period. Macroeconomic
variables used in select supervisory models vary
across geographic locations (e.g., by state or by
county). The Federal Reserve projects the paths of
these variables as a function of aggregate macroeconomic variables included in the Board’s scenarios.
Pre-provision Net Revenue
PPNR is defined as net interest income (interest
income minus interest expense) plus noninterest
income minus noninterest expense. Consistent with
U.S. GAAP, the projection of PPNR includes projected losses due to operational-risk events and
expenses related to the disposition of real-estateowned properties.19
The Federal Reserve models most components of
PPNR using a suite of models that generally relate
specific revenue and non-provision-related expenses
to the characteristics of firms and to macroeconomic
variables. These include eight components of interest
income, seven components of interest expense, six
components of noninterest income, and three components of noninterest expense.
The Federal Reserve separately models losses from
operational risk and other real-estate-owned
(OREO) expenses. Operational risk is defined as “the
risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external
events.”20 OREO expenses are those expenses related
to the disposition of real-estate-owned properties
and stem from losses on first-lien mortgages.
Loan Losses and Provisions on the Accrual
Loan Portfolio
The Federal Reserve projects 13 quarters of losses on
loans in the accrual loan portfolio using one of two
modeling approaches: the expected-loss framework
or the net charge-off approach.
For certain loans, expected losses under the macroeconomic scenario are estimated by projecting the
probability of default (PD), loss given default
19

20

PPNR projections do not include debt valuation adjustments,
which are not included in regulatory capital.
See Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, International
Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards
(Basel, Switzerland: BCBS, June 2004), 149, https://www.bis
.org/publ/bcbs107.pdf.

(LGD), and exposure at default (EAD) for each
quarter of the projection horizon. Expected losses in
each quarter are the product of these three
components.
Losses are modeled under the expected-loss framework for the following loan categories:
• corporate loans, including graded commercial and
industrial (C&I) loans, agricultural loans, domestic
farm loans, international farm loans, loans to foreign governments, loans for purchasing and carrying securities, other non-consumer loans, and
other leases
• CRE loans, including domestic and international
non-owner-occupied multifamily or nonfarm, nonresidential property loans and construction and
land development loans
• domestic first-lien residential mortgages
• domestic home equity loans (HELs) and home
equity lines of credit (HELOCs)
• domestic credit cards
• domestic auto loans
The net charge-off approach projects losses over the
projection horizon using models that capture the historical behavior of net charge-offs as a function of
macroeconomic and financial market conditions and
loan portfolio characteristics. The Federal Reserve
models losses under the net charge-off approach for
other consumer loans, business and corporate credit
card loans, small-business loans, student loans, and
international retail loans.
Losses on the accrual loan portfolio flow into net
income through provisions for loan and lease losses.
Generally, provisions for loan and lease losses for
each quarter equal projected loan losses for the quarter plus the change in the allowance needed to cover
the subsequent four quarters of expected loan losses,
taking into account the allowance established by the
firm as of the effective date of the stress test.21
21

To reduce uncertainty, allow for better capital planning at
affected firms, and gather additional information on the impact
of CECL, the Federal Reserve maintained the framework used
prior to the adoption of CECL for calculating allowances on
loans in the December stress test, and plans to do so for 2021.
See Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, “Statement on the Current Expected Credit Loss Methodology
(CECL) and Stress Testing,” press release, December 21, 2018,
https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/files/
bcreg20181221b1.pdf.

17

The Federal Reserve assumes that the allowance at
the end of each quarter covers projected loan losses
for four quarters into the future. The supervisory
estimate of the allowance at the start of the projection horizon, which is based on projected losses, may
differ from a firm’s established allowance at the
beginning of the projection horizon, which is based
on the firm’s estimate of losses on the effective date
of the stress test. Any difference between the supervisory calculation of the allowance and the firm’s
reported allowance at the beginning of the projection
horizon is linearly smoothed into the Federal
Reserve’s provisions projection over the nine quarters.
Losses on Loans Measured on a Fair-Value
Basis
Certain loans are accounted for on a fair-value basis
instead of on an accrual basis. For example, if a loan
is accounted for using the FVO, it is marked to market, and the accounting value of the loan changes as
market risk factors and fundamentals change. Similarly, loans that are HFS are accounted for at the
lower of cost or market value.
The models for these asset classes project gains and
losses on the firms’ FVO/HFS loan portfolios over
the nine-quarter projection horizon, net of any
hedges, by applying the scenario-specific path of
interest rates and credit spreads to loan yields.
Losses are modeled under this approach for the following loan categories:
• FVO/HFS C&I loans
• FVO/HFS CRE loans
• FVO/HFS residential mortgages, student loans,
auto loans, and credit cards

changes in interest rates and other factors will result
in unrealized gains or losses that are recognized in
capital for some firms through other comprehensive
income (OCI).23 Second, credit losses on the security
may be recorded. With the exception of certain
government-backed obligations, both AFS and
HTM securities are at risk of incurring credit
losses.24 The models project security-level credit
losses, using as an input the projected fair value for
each security over the nine-quarter projection horizon under the macroeconomic scenarios.
Securities at risk of credit losses include the following securitizations and direct debt obligations:
• corporate debt securities
• sovereign debt securities (other than U.S. government obligations)
• municipal debt securities
• mortgage-backed, asset-backed, CLO, and collateralized debt obligation (CDO) securities
Gains or Losses on the Fair Value of
Available-for-Sale Securities
The fair value of securities in the AFS portfolio may
change in response to the macroeconomic scenarios.
Under U.S. GAAP, unrealized gains and losses on
AFS securities are reflected in accumulated OCI
(AOCI) but do not flow through net income.25
Under the regulatory capital rule, AOCI must be
incorporated into CET1 for certain firms.26 The
incorporation of AOCI in regulatory capital is
described in “Calculation of Regulatory Capital
Ratios” below.

Gains and losses on HFS C&I and CRE loans are
estimated using a model specific to those asset
classes. Gains and losses on FVO/HFS retail loans
are modeled separately.

23

Losses on Securities in the Available-for-Sale
and Held-to-Maturity Portfolios

The Federal Reserve estimates two types of losses on
AFS or HTM securities related to investment activities.22 First, for securities classified as AFS, projected
changes in the fair value of the securities due to

This portfolio does not include securities held for trading.
Losses on these securities are projected by the model that projects gains and losses on trading exposures.

OCI is accounted for outside of net income. Under regulatory
capital rules, accumulated OCI (AOCI) that arises from unrealized changes in the value of AFS securities must be incorporated into CET1 for firms subject to the advanced approaches
and other firms that do not opt out of including AOCI in regulatory capital.
Certain government-backed securities, such as U.S. Treasuries,
U.S. government agency obligations, U.S. government agency
or government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities, Federal Family Education Loan Program student loan
asset-backed securities, and pre-refunded municipal bonds, are
assumed not to be subject to credit losses.
Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities are recognized
in net income and affect regulatory capital for all firms. See
FASB, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10), FASB
ASU 2016-01 (Norwalk, Conn.: FASB, January 2016).
The Board’s capital rule allows firms that are not subject to
Category I or II standards to opt out of including AOCI in
regulatory capital. 12 C.F.R. § 217.22(b)(2).

18

December 2020 Stress Test Results

Unrealized gains and losses are calculated as the difference between each security’s fair value and its
amortized cost. The amortized cost of each AFS
security is equivalent to the purchase price of a debt
security, which is periodically adjusted if the debt
security was purchased at a price other than par or
face value, has a principal repayment, or has an
impairment recognized in earnings.27
OCI losses from AFS securities are computed
directly from the projected change in fair value, taking into account credit losses and applicable interestrate hedges on securities. All debt securities held in
the AFS portfolio are subject to OCI losses,
including
• U.S. Treasuries;
• U.S. agency securities;
• corporate debt securities;
• sovereign debt securities;
• municipal debt securities; and
• mortgage-backed, asset-backed, CLO, and CDO
securities.
Losses on Trading and Private Equity
Exposures and Credit Valuation Adjustment
The trading and private equity model generates loss
estimates related to trading and private equity positions under the global market shock. In addition, the
global market shock is applied to firm counterparty
exposures to generate losses due to changes in CVA.
The trading and private equity model covers a wide
range of firms’ exposures to asset classes such as
public equity, foreign exchange, interest rates, commodities, securitized products, traded credit (e.g.,
municipals, auction rate securities, corporate credit,
and sovereign credit), private equity, and other fairvalue assets. Loss projections are constructed by
applying movements specified in the global market
shock to market values of firm-provided positions
and risk factor sensitivities.28

27

28

The fair value of each AFS security is projected over the ninequarter projection horizon using either a present-value calculation, a full revaluation using a security-specific discounted cash
flow model, or a duration-based approach, depending on the
asset class.
The trading model is also used to calculate gains or losses on
firms’ portfolios of hedges on credit valuation adjustment
exposures (CVA hedges).

Incremental Default Risk
The Federal Reserve separately estimates the risk of
losses arising from a jump-to-default of issuers of
debt securities in the trading book, in excess of
mark-to-market losses calculated by the trading
model. Trading losses associated with IDR account
for concentration risk in agencies, trading book securitization positions, and corporate, sovereign, and
municipal bonds. These losses are applied in each of
the nine quarters of the projection horizon.
Largest Counterparty Default Losses
The LCPD scenario component is applied to firms
with substantial trading or custodial operations. The
LCPD captures the risk of losses due to an unexpected default of the counterparty whose default on
all derivatives and SFTs would generate the largest
stressed losses for a firm.
Consistent with the Federal Reserve’s modeling principles, losses associated with the LCPD component
are recognized in the first quarter of the projection
horizon.

Balance Projections and the Calculation of
Regulatory Capital Ratios
Balance Sheet Items and Risk-Weighted Assets
The Federal Reserve generally projects that a firm
takes actions to maintain its current level of assets,
including its securities, trading assets, and loans, over
the projection horizon. The Federal Reserve assumes
that a firm’s risk-weighted assets (RWAs) and leverage ratio denominators remain unchanged over the
projection horizon except for changes primarily
related to items subject to deduction from regulatory
capital or due to changes to the Board’s regulations.29
Calculation of Regulatory Capital Ratios
The five regulatory capital measures that are included
in the supervisory stress test are the (1) CET1,
(2) tier 1 risk-based capital, (3) total risk-based capital, (4) tier 1 leverage, and (5) supplementary leverage ratios (see table 2). A firm’s regulatory capital
ratios are calculated in accordance with the Board’s
regulatory capital rules using Federal Reserve projections of pre-tax net income and other scenario-

29

See 12 C.F.R. pt. 252, appendix B.

19

dependent components of the regulatory capital
ratios.30
Pre-tax net income and the other scenario-dependent
components of the regulatory capital ratios are combined with additional information, including
assumptions about taxes and capital distributions, to
calculate post-stress regulatory capital. In that calculation, the Federal Reserve first adjusts pre-tax net
income to account for taxes and other components
of net income, such as income attributable to minority interests, to arrive at after-tax net income.31
The Federal Reserve calculates the change in equity
capital over the projection horizon by combining
projected after-tax net income with changes in OCI,
assumed capital distributions, and other components
of equity capital. The path of regulatory capital over
the projection horizon is calculated by combining the
projected change in equity capital with the firm’s
starting capital position and accounting for other
adjustments to regulatory capital specified in the
Board’s regulatory capital framework.32
The denominator of each firm’s regulatory capital
ratios, other than the leverage ratios, is calculated
using the standardized approach for calculating
RWAs for each quarter of the projection horizon, in
accordance with the transition arrangements in the
Board’s capital rules.33

Capital Action Assumptions
To project post-stress capital ratios for the December
stress test, the Federal Reserve uses the same set of
standardized capital action assumptions that are
specified in the Dodd-Frank Act stress test rules. As
previously noted, in March 2020, the Board
30

31

33

In April 2020, the Board temporarily excluded deposits at Federal Reserve Banks and holdings of U.S. Treasuries from the
denominator of the supplementary leverage ratio (SLR). This
temporary relief is scheduled to expire after the first quarter of
2021, and the Federal Reserve has adjusted its supervisory capital calculation to reflect this change in the firms’ projected
SLR. 85 Fed. Reg. 20578 (Apr. 14, 2020).
The Federal Reserve applies a consistent tax rate of 21 percent
to pre-tax net income and accounts for deferred tax assets. The
tax calculations do not include the effect of the temporary provision in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act to allow for tax carrybacks, which will expire at
the end of the 2020 tax year.
The regulatory capital framework specifies that regulatory capital ratios account for items subject to adjustment or deduction
in regulatory capital, limits the recognition of certain assets
that are less loss-absorbing, and imposes other restrictions.
12 C.F.R. pt. 217, subpt. G.

amended the capital action assumptions in its stress
testing requirements.34 According to these amended
requirements, common stock dividend payments are
assumed to be zero over the projection horizon.
Scheduled dividend, interest, or principal payments
that qualify as additional tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital are assumed to be paid, and repurchases of such
capital instruments are assumed to be zero. The capital action assumptions do not include issuances of
new common stock or preferred stock. The projection of post-stress capital ratios does not include
capital actions or other changes in the balance sheet
associated with any business plan changes.

Data Inputs
Most of the data used in the Federal Reserve’s stress
test projections are collected through the Capital
Assessments and Stress Testing (FR Y-14A/Q/M)
information collection, which includes a set of
annual, quarterly, or monthly schedules.35 These
reports collect detailed data on PPNR, loans, securities, trading and counterparty risk, losses related to
operational-risk events, and business plan changes.
Each of the 33 firms participating in the December
stress test submitted FR Y-14A, FR Y-14Q, and
FR Y-14M data as of June 30, 2020. The FR Y-14Q
and FR Y-14M data were submitted according to the
timeline indicated in the instructions. Certain firms
were also required to submit stressed counterparty
data on the FR Y-14Q by November 2, 2020. The
FR Y-14A reports, which include projected data,
were also submitted by November 2, 2020.
Consistent with the Board’s Stress Testing Policy
Statement, the Federal Reserve makes certain
assumptions about missing data or data with deficiencies significant enough to preclude the use of
supervisory models.36 Given a reasonable set of
assumptions or approaches, all else equal, the Federal Reserve will opt to use those that result in larger
losses or lower revenue.
The conservative assumptions applied depend on the
nature of the data deficiency.37 Where possible and

Box 2. Model Adjustments
The uncertainty associated with the COVID event, the
path of the economy, and the government responses
presents challenges for risk measurement and projections, including for the types of models used in the
stress tests by both firms and the Federal Reserve.
To address these challenges, the Federal Reserve
made three targeted adjustments for the December
stress test.1 These adjustments are intended to
maintain appropriate sensitivity to stress conditions
and to ensure data consistency across firms. They
affect the PD for corporate and certain consumer
loans,2 the LGD for income-producing CRE loans
backed by hotel properties, and the calculation of the
payment status for first-lien mortgages in forbearance. Following the Federal Reserve’s policies
related to model risk management, these adjustments were reviewed by an independent validation
group.3

1

3

The sensitivity analysis outlined a series of targeted adjustments
to capture material changes in the banking environment arising
from the COVID event. Those targeted adjustments were specific
to the sensitivity analysis to reflect the rapidly changing conditions at the time.
These include the models for C&I loans, small-business loans,
business and corporate credit card loans, student loans, and
additional categories of consumer lending as defined in the
FR Y-9C, Schedule HC-C, items 6.b and 6.d.
Each year, an independent System Model Validation group validates the supervisory stress test models. This group’s model validation process includes reviews of model performance, conceptual soundness, and the processes, procedures, and controls
used in model development, implementation, and the production
of results. See https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/files/
2020-march-supervisory-stress-test-methodology.pdf.

Box 2. Mode
Corporate and Certain Consumer Loans
The COVID event has caused unprecedented
changes in macroeconomic and financial variables.
At the same time, credit risk measures have not risen
appreciably from pre–COVID event levels, due to
government responses to support households and
businesses, as well as loss mitigation programs initiated by firms. As a result, relationships between
macroeconomic variables and credit risk measures
are outside their range of historical experience. However, these unusual conditions may be temporary,
particularly in the absence of further fiscal actions or
loss mitigation programs.
Due to these unusual circumstances, loss projections
without a model adjustment would not capture the
elevated risk associated with the COVID event. The
Federal Reserve adjusted the second quarter of 2020
values of the unemployment rate and other relevant
macroeconomic inputs to the corporate and certain
consumer loan models by averaging over previous
quarters. This adjustment better aligns the macroeconomic and financial variables with credit risk
measures and results in higher loss projections than
if the models were run without the adjustment.

In other cases in which the data deficiency is severe
enough that a modeled estimate cannot be produced
for a portfolio segment or portfolio, the Federal
Reserve may assign a conservative rate (e.g., the

rate) to that segment or portfolio. In general, conservative portfolio loss rates are calculated at the most
granular definition of a portfolio possible. For
example, home equity losses are composed of losses

Box 2. Model Adjustments—continued
Federal Reserve’s stress test framework projects that
loans collateralized by hotel properties in markets
with extraordinarily high vacancy rates would experience losses that reflect significantly lower collateral
recovery rates than have been historically observed.
In some cases, these recovery rates may be below
the value of repurposing the land and/or structure to
some other use. The Federal Reserve set a lower
bound on the recovery rate for such loans that
reflects this value. This adjustment results in lower
loss projections than if the model was run without the
adjustment.
First-Lien Mortgages
The COVID event has severely affected the ability of
some borrowers to repay their loans.5 Loan mitigation programs, implemented widely by the federal
government and firms, assist borrowers struggling to
make payments. While these programs affect nearly
all consumer loans to varying degrees, the percentage of loan balances in forbearance is especially
material for first-lien mortgages. At the same time,
there are material differences in how individual firms
reported loss mitigation data on regulatory reports.

“The Beige Book – October 2020,” available at https://www
.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/BeigeBook_20201021.pdf.

A survey by the U.S. Census Bureau in November estimated that
approximately 13 percent of mortgage borrowers had little to no
confidence that they could complete their December mortgage
payment. See Household Pulse Survey, https://www.census.gov/
data/tables/2020/demo/hhp/hhp19.html.

The Federal Reserve adjusted the calculation of payment status for first-lien mortgages in forbearance in
order to standardize reporting practices across firms,
by using FR Y-14 data items that were reported consistently across firms. This adjustment results in
higher loss projections than if the model was run
without the adjustment.
Government Support Programs
Consistent with previous stress tests, the model
adjustments in the December stress test do not
directly account for an increase in government support programs. These programs—including
expanded eligibility for unemployment insurance,
larger unemployment insurance payments, and federal loan guarantee programs, such as the Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP)—support credit access
and improve credit quality for households and businesses.6
However, many COVID event-related support programs for households and businesses have already
or will expire in the coming months. Furthermore, the
Federal Reserve’s stress test framework does not
directly incorporate potential future policy actions,
although some aspects may be indirectly taken into
account during the design of the supervisory
scenarios.
6

The Federal Reserve reflects the federal loan guarantee for PPP
loans in its stress test. The Federal Reserve’s stress test assumes
that PPP loans earn interest income but incur no credit losses. In
addition, PPP loans are assigned a risk weight of zero, consistent
with the regulatory capital rule.

deficient data for its HELOC portfolio only, then the
overall home equity losses for that firm would be
based on a conservative loss rate applied to the
HELOC portfolio, but HEL projected losses would
be modeled using the supervisory model.
Firms are required to submit detailed loan and securities information for all material portfolios, where
portfolios categories are defined in the FR Y-14M

and FR Y-14Q instructions. The definition of a portfolio’s materiality varies and depends primarily on
the firm’s complexity. Each firm has the option to
either submit or not submit the relevant data schedule for a given portfolio that does not meet the materiality threshold. If the firm does not submit data on
its immaterial portfolio(s), the Federal Reserve will
assign the median loss rate estimated across the set
of firms with material portfolios.

Supervisory Stress Test Results

This section describes the Federal Reserve’s projections of losses, revenues, expenses, and capital positions for the 33 firms in the December stress test
under the severely adverse and alternative severe scenarios. Results are presented both in the aggregate
and for individual firms. The aggregate results reflect
the sensitivities of losses, revenues, and capital at
these firms as a group to the stressed economic and
financial market conditions contained in those scenarios. The range of results across individual firms
reflects differences in business focus, asset composition, revenue and expense sources, and portfolio risk
characteristics. The comprehensive results for individual firms are reported in appendix B.
Changes in supervisory stress test results across exercises reflect changes in
• firm starting capital positions;
• scenarios used for the supervisory stress test;
• portfolio composition and risk characteristics; and
• models used in the supervisory stress test.
While the results under the two scenarios described
here are approximately similar, there are differences
designed to reflect a broad set of severe but plausible
risks. Generally, the alternative severe scenario exhibits a smaller initial decrease in economic activity but
a more sluggish recovery relative to the severely
adverse scenario. The different scenario paths lead to
slightly larger PPNR and trading revenue projections
under the severely adverse scenario as equity asset
values recover faster. Additionally, the faster recovery leads to lower loan losses and lower provision
expenses over the full 13 quarters under the severely
adverse scenario. In the aggregate, each of the five
capital and leverage ratios declines similarly but subsequently rises more under the severely adverse
scenario.

Severely Adverse Scenario
Under the supervisory severely adverse scenario, the
aggregate CET1 ratio is projected to decline to a
minimum of 9.6 percent before rising to 10.2 percent
at the end of nine quarters (see table 3). In the aggregate, each of the five capital and leverage ratios
declines over the course of the projection horizon
from their second quarter of 2020 levels, with third
quarter of 2022 levels ranging from 1.2 percentage
points to 2.2 percentage points lower than at the
start of the projection horizon (see table 3).
The changes in post-stress capital ratios vary considerably across firms (see figure 11), and table 4 presents these ratios for each of the 33 firms. Differences
in the declines in ratios across firms are primarily
related to differences in the Federal Reserve’s projections of losses, revenues, and expenses.

Projected Losses
The Federal Reserve projects that the 33 firms as a
group would experience significant losses on loans
and other positions under the severely adverse scenario. In this scenario, losses are projected to be
$629 billion for the 33 firms in the aggregate over the
nine quarters of the projection horizon.
These losses include
• $514 billion in accrual loan portfolio losses;
• $4 billion in securities losses;38
38

For firms that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the Federal Reserve
incorporated its projection of expected credit losses on securities in the allowance for credit losses, in accordance with FASB,
Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326), FASB ASU
2016-13 (Norwalk, Conn.: FASB, June 2016). Prior to the
adoption of ASU 2016-13, securities credit losses were realized
through other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI).

• $95 billion in trading and counterparty losses at
the 13 firms with substantial trading, processing,
or custodial operations; and
• $16 billion in additional losses from items such as
loans booked under the FVO (see table 3).
Losses on accrual loan portfolios account for 82 percent of the projected losses for the 33 firms, while
trading and counterparty losses account for 15 percent (see figure 10).
Loan Losses
Total loan losses are $514 billion for the 33 firms in
the December stress test. For the same firms, total
loan losses were $433 billion in the June stress test.
Loan losses on consumer products (domestic residential mortgages, domestic junior liens and
HELOCs, credit cards, and other consumer loans)
represent a slightly smaller share of losses than losses
on commercial products (domestic CRE, C&I loans,
and other loans) (see table 3). Consumer and commercial products represent 38 and 44 percent of total
projected losses, respectively. C&I loan losses and
credit card losses are the two largest categories of
loan losses at $121 billion and $158 billion,
respectively.

over the nine quarters of the projection horizon
divided by average loan balances over the horizon.
However, total loan loss rates vary significantly
across firms, ranging between 1.7 percent and
21.3 percent across these institutions (see table 8 and
figure 12).
Firms’ loan loss rates reflect differences in the portfolios held by each firm and the characteristics of the
loans within each portfolio. Loan portfolio composition matters because projected loss rates vary significantly for different types of loans. In the aggregate,
nine-quarter cumulative loss rates vary from 2.1 percent on domestic first-lien mortgages to 22.3 percent
on credit cards, reflecting both differences in typical
performance of these loans and differences in the
sensitivity of different types of loans to the scenarios. In particular, lending categories for which
performance is sensitive to credit spreads or unemployment rates may experience high stressed loss
rates due to the considerable stress on these factors
in the severely adverse and alternative severe scenarios.39
Projected loss rates on most loan categories show
similar dispersion across firms (see table 8 and figures C.1 through C.7). There are significant differences across firms in the projected loan loss rates for
similar types of loans. For example, while the median
projected loss rate on C&I loans is 7.3 percent, the
rates among firms with C&I loans vary from a low of
1.2 percent to a high of 27.0 percent. For credit card
loans, the range of projected loss rates is from
13.3 percent to 35.8 percent, with a median of
23.7 percent.
Differences in projected loss rates over time primarily reflect changes in loan and borrower characteristics and changes in the scenarios. The overall loan
loss rate in the December stress test is higher than
the June stress test due to the generally higher projected loss rates across portfolios, with larger
increases for severely affected portfolios such as
CRE. The increase in risk was offset somewhat by a
shift in the composition of firms’ loan portfolios
away from portfolios with higher loss rates. In particular, consumer credit card balances have declined
significantly since the start of the year as a result of
39

The aggregate nine-quarter cumulative loss rate for
all accrual loan portfolios is 7.7 percent, where the
loss rate is calculated as total projected loan losses

rates are calculated as a percent of average outstanding balances over the projection horizon.

reduced consumer spending and higher loan repayment rates.
Losses on Trading, Private Equity, SFT, and
Derivatives Positions
The severely adverse scenario results include $95 billion in trading and counterparty losses generated
from the global market shock and LCPD components. For the 13 firms subject to one or both components, losses ranged from $0.9 billion to $23 billion (see table 6).
The relative size of losses across firms depends on
the specific risk characteristics of each firm’s trading
positions, inclusive of hedges. Importantly, these
projected losses are based on the trading positions
and counterparty exposures held by these firms on
the same as-of date (June 30, 2020) and could have
differed if they had been based on a different date.

Projected PPNR
In the aggregate, the 33 firms are projected to generate $371 billion in PPNR cumulatively over the nine
quarters of the projection horizon, equal to 2.0 percent of their combined average assets (see table 3).
PPNR projections are driven by the shape of the
yield curve, the path of asset prices, equity market
volatility, and measures of economic activity in the
severely adverse scenario. In addition, PPNR projections incorporate expenses stemming from estimates
of elevated levels of losses from operational-risk
events such as fraud, employee lawsuits, litigationrelated expenses, or computer system or other operating disruptions.40 In aggregate for the 33 firms,
operational-risk losses are $160 billion for the
December stress test. For the June stress test,
operational-risk losses were $144 billion.
Aggregate PPNR as a percent of combined average
assets is lower under the severely adverse scenario in
the December stress test than in the June stress test.
Lower PPNR is partly due to lower net interest
income, reflecting a sharper decrease in the term
spread under the severely adverse scenario. There
were also fairly sizable changes in firms’ balance
sheets between December 2019 and June 2020. All
else equal, larger balance sheets result in higher revenue that is roughly offset by higher expenses in the
stress test projections. Noninterest income remained

and conservative assumptions. They are not a supervisory estimate of the firms’ current or expected legal liability.

higher than in the June stress test, supported by
stronger trading revenues and investment banking
fees. Stronger noninterest income partly dampened
the decrease in PPNR.
The ratio of projected cumulative PPNR to average
assets varies across firms (see figure 13). A significant portion of this variation reflects differences in
business focus across the institutions. For instance,
the ratio of PPNR to assets tends to be higher at
firms focusing on credit card lending, reflecting the
higher net interest income that credit cards generally
produce relative to other forms of lending.41 Importantly, lower PPNR rates do not necessarily imply
lower net income, because the same business focus
and revenue risk characteristics determining differences in PPNR across firms could also result in offsetting differences in projected losses across firms.

Net Income and Regulatory Capital
Treatment
Projected PPNR and provisions for loan losses are
the primary determinants of projected pre-tax net
income. The projected decline in pre-tax net income
is 0.9 percent of average total assets, compared to a
decline of 1.1 percent in the June stress test. Table 6
presents projections of the components of pre-tax
net income, including provisions into the allowance
and one-time income and expense and extraordinary
items, under the severely adverse scenario for each of
the 33 firms (see table 3 for aggregate). The projections are cumulative for the nine quarters of the projection horizon.
The Federal Reserve’s projections of pre-tax net
income under the severely adverse scenario imply
negative net income at most of the 33 firms individually and for the firms as a group over the ninequarter projection horizon. Projected pre-tax net
income is an aggregate net loss of $173 billion over
the projection horizon for the 33 firms. For the June
stress test, projected pre-tax net income was a
slightly larger loss of $177 billion even though CET1
declined less in June than in the December stress test.
Further reducing CET1 are higher projected loan
charge-offs combined with lower projected revenue
over the projection horizon, which results in larger
deferred tax assets. These assets are deducted from

41

As noted, credit card lending also tends to generate relatively
high loss rates, so the higher PPNR rates at these firms do not
necessarily indicate higher profitability.

CET1 because they are not considered available to
absorb losses.

projected provision expenses would increase by
$100 billion.

The pre-tax net income projections incorporate loan
losses through provisions, which equal projected loan
losses plus the amount needed for the allowance to
be at an appropriate level at the end of each quarter.
The $429 billion in total provisions includes $514 billion in net charge-offs, with the remainder being the
reserve release. These amounts are cumulative over
the projection horizon and do not fully reveal variation in the allowance during the course of the nine
quarters. Specifically, the projected allowance
increases during the early quarters of the projection
horizon, given the increased economic stress in the
severely adverse scenario, and then declines as the
economic stress abates.

The ratio of pre-tax net income to average assets for
each of the 33 firms ranges from −3.3 percent to
3.3 percent (see figure 14). Projected cumulative pre–
tax net income for most of the firms (29 of 33) is
negative over the projection horizon. Differences
across the firms reflect differences in the sensitivity
of the various components of net income to the economic and financial market conditions in the supervisory scenarios. Additional variation in projected
net income results from the effect of the global market shock and LCPD components that affect 13 of
the 33 firms.

While loan losses are higher for the December stress
test than in the June stress test, the projected reserve
release is due to the sharp increase in firms’ loan-loss
reserves since the beginning of the year. As firms

pt. 217, subpt. G, the starting capital position used to project
the path of regulatory capital includes eligible transitional
amounts intended to mitigate the adverse effect of differences
between allowances under CECL and the incurred loss methodology. Projected capital levels do not incorporate changes in the
transitional amounts during the transition period, which has a

Firms that are required to include AOCI in regulatory capital and those that opt in to including it are
also affected by OCI (see table 6). OCI is driven by
unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities in the
supervisory stress test. The severely adverse scenario
features a lower initial level for the 10-year Treasury
yield, leading to a relatively smaller decline in the
yield in the first projection quarter and subsequently
lower projected unrealized gains for AFS securities.
The interest rate path and credit spreads assumed in
the scenario result in $5.2 billion of OCI over the
nine quarters of the projection horizon for firms
required to include AOCI in regulatory capital and
those that opt in to including it.

Noninterest expense includes losses from operational-risk events and other
real estate owned (OREO) costs.
Other revenue includes one-time income and (expense) items not included in
pre-provision net revenue.
For firms that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the Federal Reserve incorporated its
projection of expected credit losses on securities in the allowance for credit
losses.
Trading and counterparty losses include mark-to-market and credit valuation
adjustment (CVA) losses and losses arising from the counterparty default
scenario component applied to derivatives, securities lending, and repurchase
agreement activities.
Other losses/gains include projected change in fair value of loans held for sale
and loans held for investment measured under the fair-value option, and
goodwill impairment losses.
Other comprehensive income is only calculated for firms subject to Category I
or II standards or firms that opt in to including accumulated other
comprehensive income (AOCI) in their calculation of capital.

December 2020 Stress Test Results

Alternative Severe Scenario
The projected maximum declines in post-stress capital ratios in the alternative severe scenario are
approximately similar to those under the severely
adverse scenario. In the aggregate, each of the five
capital and leverage ratios declines to a similar minimum as the severely adverse scenario, but the ratios
rise less over the remaining projection horizon,
reaching a lower ending value than the severely
adverse scenario. The levels at the end of the projection horizon in the third quarter of 2022 range from
1.4 percentage points to 2.3 percentage points lower
than at the start of the projection horizon (see
table 9) for the five capital and leverage ratios. The
changes in post-stress capital ratios vary considerably across the 33 firms (see figure 16 and table 10).
Generally, the slightly lower ending capital and leverage ratios reflect the sluggish recovery and relatively
higher persistence of stress in the alternative severe
scenario compared to the severely adverse. The alternative severe scenario features a less-severe initial
drop in global economic activity relative to the
severely adverse scenario but a more sluggish and
severe subsequent recovery. Unemployment, volatility, and corporate spreads stay elevated for a longer
period of time, while the term spread recovers
slightly faster.

the FVO as spreads stay elevated for a longer period
of time. The alternative severe projections imply
lower aggregate pre-tax net income, which slightly
reduces post-stress ending capital ratios.

Projected Losses
The Federal Reserve projects that the 33 firms as a
group would experience significant losses on loans
and other positions under the alternative severe scenario. In this scenario, losses are projected to be
$612 billion for the 33 firms in the aggregate over the
nine quarters of the projection horizon.
These losses include
• $491 billion in accrual loan portfolio losses;
• $4 billion in securities losses;44
• $95 billion in trading and counterparty losses at
the 13 firms with substantial trading, processing,
or custodial operations; and
• $22 billion in additional losses from items such as
loans booked under the FVO (see table 9).
Losses on accrual loan portfolios account for 80 percent of the projected losses for the 33 firms, while
trading and counterparty losses account for 16 percent (see figure 15).
Loan Losses

PPNR is slightly lower compared to the severely
adverse scenario due to lower trading revenue from
the slower recovery in equity asset values. This lower
revenue is only partially offset by higher interest
income as a result of wider net interest margins compared to the severely adverse scenario. While larger
balance sheets result in higher revenue projections,
the increased revenue is roughly offset by higher
expenses in the stress test projections.
Losses over the full 13-quarter projection horizon
are higher in the alternative severe scenario, leading
to higher projected loan loss provisions.43 Loss rates
in the first nine quarters are lower in the alternative
severe scenario, as the sluggish recovery pushes
losses further out into the projection horizon than in
the severely adverse scenario. Other losses and gains
are slightly higher in the alternative severe scenario,
reflecting the larger markdowns for loans held under
43

The Federal Reserve assumes that the allowance at the end of
each quarter covers projected loan losses for four quarters into
the future. The allowance at the end of the ninth quarter equals
projected loan losses from quarters 10 through 13.

Total loan losses are $491 billion for the 33 firms (see
table 9). For the June stress test, total loan losses
were $433 billion for the same firms. Consumer and
commercial products represent 36 and 44 percent of
total projected losses, respectively. C&I loan losses
and credit card losses are the two largest categories
of loan losses at $121 billion and $144 billion,
respectively.
For the full group of 33 firms, the nine-quarter
cumulative loss rate for all accrual loan portfolios is
7.3 percent, where the loss rate is calculated as total
projected loan losses over the nine quarters of the
projection horizon divided by average loan balances
over the horizon. However, total loan loss rates vary
significantly across firms, ranging between 1.6 per44

For firms that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the Federal Reserve
incorporated its projection of expected credit losses on securities in the allowance for credit losses, in accordance with FASB,
Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326), FASB ASU
2016-13 (Norwalk, Conn.: FASB, June 2016). Prior to the
adoption of ASU 2016-13, securities credit losses were realized
through OTTI.

Losses on Trading, Private Equity, SFT, and
Derivatives Positions
The global market shock and LCPD components in
the alternative severe scenario are the same as those
reported in the severely adverse scenario.

Projected PPNR
In the aggregate, the 33 firms are projected to generate $363 billion in PPNR cumulatively over the nine
quarters of the projection horizon, equal to 2.0 percent of their combined average assets (see table 9).
The Federal Reserve’s PPNR projections are driven
by the shape of the yield curve, the path of asset
prices, equity market volatility, and measures of economic activity in the alternative severe scenario. In
addition, the PPNR projections incorporate
expenses stemming from estimates of elevated levels
of losses from operational-risk events such as fraud,
employee lawsuits, litigation-related expenses, or
computer system or other operating disruptions.45
45

In aggregate for the 33 firms, operational-risk losses
are $162 billion for the December stress test. For the
June stress test, operational-risk losses were
$144 billion.

These estimates are conditional on the alternative severe scenario and on conservative assumptions. They are not a supervisory estimate of the firms’ current or expected legal liability.

Projected PPNR and losses are the primary determinants of projected pre-tax net income. The projected
decline in pre-tax net income is 1.1 percent of average total assets, which is the same as the decline of
1.1 percent in the June stress test. Table 12 presents
projections of the components of pre-tax net
income, including provisions into the allowance and
one-time income and expense and extraordinary
items, under the alternative severe scenario for each
of the 33 firms (see table 9 for aggregate). The projections are cumulative for the nine quarters of the
projection horizon.
The Federal Reserve’s projections of pre-tax net
income under the alternative severe scenario imply
negative net income at most of the 33 firms individually and for the firms as a group over the ninequarter projection horizon. Projected pre-tax net
income is an aggregate net loss of $198 billion over
the projection horizon for the 33 firms. The projected pre–tax net income incorporates $440 billion
in total provisions.
The ratio of pre-tax net income to average assets for
each of the 33 firms ranges from −3.5 percent to
3.5 percent (see figure 19). Projected cumulative pre–
tax net income for most of the firms is negative over
the projection horizon.
Firms that are required to include AOCI in regulatory capital and those that opt in to including it are
also affected by OCI (see table 12). OCI is driven by
unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities in the
supervisory stress test. The interest rate path and
credit spreads assumed in the alternative severe scenario result in a loss of $3.1 billion of OCI over the
nine quarters of the projection horizon for firms
required to include AOCI in regulatory capital and
those that opt in to including it.

The capital ratios are calculated using the same capital action assumptions
provided within the Dodd-Frank Act stress testing rule. See 12 C.F.R.
§ 252.56(b). These projections represent hypothetical estimates that involve an
economic outcome that is more adverse than expected. The minimum capital
ratios are for the period 2020:Q3 to 2022:Q3. Supplementary leverage ratio
projections only include estimates for firms subject to Category I, II, or III
standards.

Noninterest expense includes losses from operational-risk events and other
real estate owned (OREO) costs.
Other revenue includes one-time income and (expense) items not included in
pre-provision net revenue.
For firms that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the Federal Reserve incorporated its
projection of expected credit losses on securities in the allowance for credit
losses.
Trading and counterparty losses include mark-to-market and credit valuation
adjustment (CVA) losses and losses arising from the counterparty default
scenario component applied to derivatives, securities lending, and repurchase
agreement activities.
Other losses/gains include projected change in fair value of loans held for sale
and loans held for investment measured under the fair-value option, and
goodwill impairment losses.
Other comprehensive income is only calculated for firms subject to Category I
or II standards or firms that opt in to including accumulated other
comprehensive income (AOCI) in their calculation of capital.

Appendix D: Technical Information about the
Capital Plan Resubmission and Distribution
Limitations
In the second quarter of 2020, the Board determined
that the changes in financial markets or the macroeconomic outlook could have a material effect on
each firm’s risk profile and financial condition and
require updated capital plans.46 As such, the Board
required each firm subject to the Board’s capital plan
rule to update and resubmit its capital plan. As a
result of a capital plan resubmission, firms are prohibited from making any capital distribution (excluding any capital distribution arising from the issuance
of a capital instrument eligible for inclusion in the
numerator of a regulatory capital ratio), unless
otherwise approved by the Board.
The Board is authorizing each U.S. bank holding
company (BHC) to make the following capital distributions in the first quarter of 2021:
• provided that the firm does not increase the
amount of its common stock dividends to be
larger than the level paid in the second quarter of
2020, pay common stock dividends and make
share repurchases that, in the aggregate, do not
exceed an amount equal to the average of the
firm’s net income for the four preceding calendar
quarters,47 except that:
—if the average of the firm’s net income for the
four preceding calendar quarters does not
exceed an amount equal to one cent per share,
the firm may pay common stock dividends of
one cent per share;
• make share repurchases that equal the amount of
share issuances related to expensed employee compensation; and
• redeem and make scheduled payments on additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital instruments.

46
47

See 12 C.F.R § 225.8(e)(4)(i)(B)(3).
The amount of common stock dividends is calculated on a pershare basis. An “increase” for this purpose is measured relative
to the amount of common stock dividends paid in the second
quarter of 2020.

Foreign banks operating in the U.S. have different
payout behavior than domestic banks. In general, the
U.S. operations tend to pay a lump sum to the parent
foreign bank at the end of the year, instead of quarterly payments.
In light of their unique payout behavior, the Board’s
authorization is modified for U.S. intermediate holding companies (U.S. IHCs) of foreign banks. Specifically the Board is authorizing each U.S. IHC to make
the following capital distributions in the first quarter
of 2021:
• pay common stock dividends and make share
repurchases such that the aggregate amount of
dividends and repurchases paid in the final three
quarters of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021 does
not exceed the amount of net income the firm has
earned in the preceding four calendar quarters,
except that:
—if the average of the firm’s net income for the
four preceding calendar quarters does not
exceed an amount equal to one cent per share,
the firm may pay common stock dividends of
one cent per share;
• make share repurchases that equal the amount of
share issuances related to expensed employee compensation; and
• redeem and make scheduled payments on additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital instruments.
In addition, for both U.S. BHCs and U.S. IHCs, the
automatic distribution limitations under the Board’s
capital rule would continue to apply to a firm with a
capital ratio below its total capital requirement,
inclusive of the firm’s applicable stress capital buffer
requirement.
Additionally, as a result of a capital plan resubmission, the Board may elect to recalculate a firm’s
stress capital buffer requirement. The Board is
required to provide notice of whether the firm’s
stress capital buffer requirement will be recalculated

144

December 2020 Stress Test Results

within 75 calendar days after the date on which the
capital plan is resubmitted, unless the Board provides notice to the firm that it is extending the time
period. Due to uncertainty about future economic
conditions and the ultimate path of the current
recovery, the Board is extending the time period to

notify firms whether their stress capital buffer
requirements will be recalculated until March 31,
2021.48
