Figure 7: Projecting net income and regulatory capital

Net interest income + non-interest income - non-interest expense
= pre-provision net revenue (PPNR)
Note: PPNR includes income from mortgage servicing rights and losses from operational-risk events, mortgage put-back losses, and OREO expenses

PPNR + other revenue - provisions - AFS/HTM securities losses -
trading and counterparty losses - other losses (gains)
= pre-tax net income
Note: Change in the allowance for loan and lease losses + net charge-offs
= provisions

Pre-tax net income - taxes + extraordinary items net of taxes
= after-tax net income

After-tax net income - net distributions to common and preferred shareholders and other net reductions to shareholder's equity from DFAST assumptions
= change in equity capital

Change in equity capital - deductions from regulatory capital + other additions to regulatory capital
= change in regulatory capital

1. The post-stress capital ratios presented in the figure are based on an assumption that Ally remains subject to contingent liabilities associated with Residential Capital, LLC (“ResCap”). On May 14, 2012, ResCap and certain of its subsidiaries filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. As of March 6, 2013, the outcome of the ResCap bankruptcy remained pending.

2. The actual and post-stress capital ratios presented in the figure are based on information that BB&T provided to the Federal Reserve in regulatory reports on or before February 6, 2013. The information that BB&T provided to the Federal Reserve includes information regarding BB&T’s risk-weighted assets. On March 4, 2013, BB&T disclosed publicly that it had reevaluated its process related to calculating risk-weighted assets and determined that certain adjustments, primarily related to the presentation of certain unfunded lending commitments, were required in order to conform to regulatory guidance. These adjustments resulted in an increase to risk-weighted assets and a decrease in BB&T’s risk-based capital ratios and are not reflected in this figure.

Figure A. Ending aggregate tier 1 common levels using different tax rates

Data plotted as a bar chart with sloped arrows between bars indicating percent growth in projected aggregate tier 1 common capital at the end of the planning horizon under the severely adverse scenario when the supervisory tax rate is changed by 15 percentage points in either direction.

The first bar represents a 15 percentage point decrease over the current supervisory tax rate, the middle bar represents the current supervisory tax rate, and the third bar represents a 15 percentage point increase over the supervisory tax rate. As indicated by the downward sloping arrow between the middle bar and the first bar, when the supervisory tax rate is decreased by 15 percentage points, the projected ending aggregate tier 1 common levels decline 2 percent in the severely adverse scenario. As indicated by the upward sloping arrow between the middle bar and the third bar, when the supervisory tax rate is increased by 15 percentage points, the projected ending aggregate tier 1 common levels rise 2 percent in the severely adverse scenario.
