NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of Customers have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of Customers for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted from these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. On November 13, 2018, Customers Bancorp filed with the SEC a report on Form 8-K advising that its 2017, 2016, and 2015 audited consolidated financial statements and its interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, should no longer be relied upon because of incorrect classifications of the cash flows used in and provided by its commercial mortgage warehouse lending activities between operating and investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows because the related loan balances were incorrectly classified as held for sale instead of held for investment (i.e., loans receivable) on its consolidated balance sheets. These misclassifications have no impact on total cash balances, total loans, total assets, the allowance for loan losses, total capital, regulatory capital ratios, net interest income, net interest margin, net income to shareholders, basic or diluted earnings per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, the efficiency ratio, asset quality ratios or other key performance metrics, including non-GAAP performance metrics, that Customers routinely discusses with analysts and investors. The December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet presented in this report has been derived from Customers' audited 2017 consolidated financial statements, restated to correct the classification of the mortgage warehouse loans as held for investment instead of held for sale. Because of a fair value option election that Customers made on July 1, 2012 that continues today, these loans are, and will continue to be, reported at their fair value and accordingly do not have an allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the consolidated financial statements as of the dates and for the periods presented. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2017 consolidated financial statements of Customers included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2018 (the "2017 Form 10-K") except to the extent they are affected by the restatement. That Form 10-K describes Customers Bancorp’s significant accounting policies, which include its policies on Principles of Consolidation; Cash and Cash Equivalents and Statements of Cash Flows; Restrictions on Cash and Amounts due from Banks; Business Combinations; Investment Securities; Loan Accounting Framework; Loans Held for Sale and Loans at Fair Value; Loans Receivable; Purchased Loans; Allowance for Loan Losses; Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets; Investments in FHLB, Federal Reserve Bank, and Other Restricted Stock; Other Real Estate Owned; Bank-Owned Life Insurance; Bank Premises and Equipment; Operating Leases; Treasury Stock; Income Taxes; Share-Based Compensation; Transfer of Financial Assets; Business Segments; Derivative Instruments and Hedging; Comprehensive Income (Loss); Earnings per Share; and Loss Contingencies. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for the fiscal year or any other period. There have been no material changes to Customers' significant accounting policies as disclosed in Customers' 2017 Form 10-K, except for the accounting policies related to Cash and Cash Equivalents and Statements of Cash Flows and Loans Held for Sale and Loans at Fair Value as described below.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In November 2018, Customers determined that the cash flow activities associated with its commercial mortgage warehouse lending activities should have been reported as investing activities in its consolidated statements of cash flows because the related loan balances should have been classified as held for investment (i.e., loans receivable). Effective with the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Customers changed its accounting policies such that commercial mortgage warehouse loans will be classified as held for investment and presented as "Loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, at fair value" on its consolidated balance sheets. The cash flow activities associated with these commercial mortgage warehouse lending activities will be reported as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The following tables set forth the effects of the correction on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Ÿ  Reframed the structure of the indicators of when an entity is acting as an agent and focused on evidence that an entity is acting as the principal or agent in a revenue transaction.
Ÿ  Requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
Ÿ  Effective January 1 , 2018 and can either be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (modified retrospective approach).
 
Ÿ  Customers adopted on January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis.
Ÿ  Because the ASU does not apply to revenue associated with leases and financial instruments (including loans and securities), Customers concluded that the new guidance did not have a material impact on the elements of its consolidated statements of operations most closely associated with leases and financial instruments (such as interest income, interest expense and securities gains or losses).
Ÿ  Customers has identified its deposit-related fees, service charges, debit and prepaid card interchange income and university fees to be within the scope of the standard.
Ÿ  Customers has also completed its review of the related contracts and its evaluation of certain costs related to these revenue streams and determined that its debit and prepaid card interchange income, previously reported on a gross basis for periods prior to adoption, will need to be presented on a net basis under this ASU, as Customers is the agent.
Ÿ  The adoption of this ASU, did not have a significant impact on Customers' financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements. Additional discussion related to the adoption and the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included in NOTE 12 - NON-INTEREST REVENUES.

Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract

Issued August 2018

 
Ÿ  Clarifies that service contracts with hosting arrangements must follow internal-use software guidance Subtopic 350-40 when determining which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense.
Ÿ  Also clarifies that capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract are to be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes the noncancelable period of the arrangement plus options to extend the arrangement if reasonably certain to exercise.
Ÿ  Clarifies that existing impairment guidance in Subtopic 350-40 must be applied to the capitalized implementation costs as if they were long-lived assets.
Ÿ  Applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.
Ÿ  Effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption permitted.
 
Ÿ  Customers is currently evaluating the expected impact of this ASU on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting

Issued June 2018


 
Ÿ  Expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which currently only includes share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods and services.
Ÿ  Applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services from non-employees to be used or consumed in a grantor's own operations by issuing share-based payment awards.
Ÿ  With the amended guidance from ASU 2018-07, non-employees share-based payments are measured with an estimate of the fair value of the equity the business is obligated to issue at the grant date (the date that the business and the stock award recipient agree to the terms of the award).
Ÿ  Compensation would be recognized in the same period and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for goods or services instead of stock.
Ÿ  Effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.
 
Ÿ  Customers currently does not grant share-based payment awards to non-employees and, accordingly, does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements; however, Customers will continue to evaluate the potential impact of this ASU through the adoption date.

Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features

Issued July 2017

 
Ÿ  Changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features.
Ÿ  When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity's own stock. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) would no longer be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature.
Ÿ  For freestanding equity-classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of net income available to common shareholders in basic earnings per share ("EPS").
Ÿ  Effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.
 
Ÿ  Customers currently does not have any equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features and, accordingly, does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements; however, Customers will continue to evaluate the potential impact of this ASU through the adoption date.

Ÿ  Requires that premiums for certain callable debt securities held be amortized to their earliest call date.
Ÿ  Effective for Customers beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.
Ÿ  Adoption of this new guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective approach.
 
Ÿ  Customers currently has an immaterial amount of callable debt securities purchased at a premium and, accordingly, does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements; however, Customers will continue to evaluate the potential impact through the adoption date.
 
 
 
 
 
ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

Issued June 2016

 
Ÿ  Requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to estimate lifetime expected credit loss and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset (including HTM securities), presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset.
Ÿ  Replaces today's "incurred loss" approach and is expected to result in earlier recognition of credit losses.
Ÿ  For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances for credit losses rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the OTTI model, and will be allowed to reverse previously established allowances in the event the credit of the issuer improves.
Ÿ  Simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans.
Ÿ  Effective beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted.
Ÿ  Adoption can be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.

 
Ÿ  Customers has established a company-wide, cross-discipline governance structure, which provides implementation oversight and continues evaluating the impact of this ASU and reviewing the loss modeling requirements consistent with lifetime expected loss estimates.
Ÿ  Customers has selected a third-party vendor to assist in the implementation process of its new model, which will include different assumptions used in calculating credit losses, such as estimating losses over the estimated life of a financial asset and will consider expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions.
Ÿ  The adoption of this ASU may result in an increase to Customers' allowance for loan losses which will depend upon the nature and characteristics of Customers' loan portfolio at the adoption date, as well as the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that date.
Ÿ  Customers currently does not intend to early adopt this new guidance.

ASU 2016-02,
Leases

Issued February 2016

 
Ÿ  Supersedes the current lease accounting guidance for both lessees and lessors under ASC 840, Leases.
Ÿ  From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.
Ÿ  Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for lessees.
Ÿ  This ASU will require lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially similar to the existing guidance for sales-type, direct financing leases and operating leases.
Ÿ  Effective beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted.
Ÿ  A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.
Ÿ  In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” which provides lessees the option to apply the new leasing standard to all open leases as of the adoption date.
 
Ÿ  Customers is in the process of its implementation, which includes evaluating its leasing activities and certain contracts for embedded leases. Customers will be utilizing a lease accounting software solution for its real estate leases and updating processing and internal controls for its leasing activities.
Ÿ  Customers expects to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset, at their present value, to predominately all of the $22 million of future minimum payments required under operating leases as disclosed in Note 10 of Customers’ 2017 Form 10-K, along with any leases entered into or extended during 2018. However, the population of contracts subject to balance sheet recognition and their initial measurement remains under evaluation. Customers does not expect material changes to the recognition of operating lease expense in its consolidated statements of income.
Ÿ  Customers expects to adopt certain practical expedients available under the new guidance, which will not require it to (1) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, (2) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, or (3) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. Additionally, Customers will elect to apply the new lease guidance at the adoption date, rather than at the beginning of the earliest period presented and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, while continuing to present the comparative periods under Topic 840.
Ÿ  Customers does not intend to early adopt this new guidance.

(1) Reclassification amounts for available-for-sale debt securities are reported as loss on sale of investment securities on the consolidated statements of income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, reclassification amounts of $18.7 million ($13.8 million net of taxes), respectively, were reported as loss on sale of investment securities on the consolidated statements of income. Reclassification amounts for cash flow hedges are reported as either interest expense on FHLB advances on the consolidated statements of income or other non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income for gains from the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting for certain interest rate swaps. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, reclassification amounts of $303 thousand ($224 thousand net of taxes) and $175 thousand ($129 thousand net of taxes) were reported as interest expense on FHLB advances on the consolidated statements of income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, reclassification amounts of $2.8 million ($2.1 million net of taxes), respectively, were reported as other non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income from the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting for certain interest rate swaps.
(2) Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on January 1, 2018 as a result of the adoption of ASU 2018-02 and ASU 2016-01 resulted in a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.3 million and a corresponding increase in retained earnings for the same amount. See NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION for more information.
