Subsequent Events
Current report
On October 14, 2026, Truist signed an agreement to sell $7.7 billion of loans, representing substantially all assets of LightStream, a national unsecured lending platform. Estimated net proceeds for the transaction are $7.2 billion. The resulting impact to net income is not expected to be material. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
Current report
The following table presents gross securities gains and losses recognized in earnings:
Current report
In the third quarter of 2026, Truist executed a strategic balance sheet repositioning of a portion of its AFS securities portfolio by selling $8.6 billion of longer-duration, lower-yielding agency MBS and purchasing $7.2 billion of shorter-duration, higher-yielding agency MBS and U.S. Treasury securities.
Current report
In the third quarter of 2026, Truist sold $5.5 billion of RAC loans from the indirect auto portfolio for proceeds of $5.2 billion. The RAC loan sale resulted in a $581 million pre-tax loan loss reserve recapture following the recognition of held for sale-related charge-offs.
Current report
The following table presents information about the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used to measure the fair value of certain equity derivatives measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Such equity derivatives primarily consist of long-dated options that are not traded on an exchange and may also include exchange-traded options with limited transaction volumes for which certain significant valuation inputs are unobservable. These options are valued using an option pricing model, which is generally used for instruments that provide the holder with a contingent right or obligation based on the future performance of an underlying equity instrument. The significant unobservable input utilized in the valuation is volatility, which represents a market participant’s expectation of the variability in the value of the underlying equity instrument over the contractual term of the derivatives.
Current report
Generally, increases in volatility result in a higher fair value for instruments in which Truist is long the underlying exposure, while decreases in volatility result in a lower fair value. The inverse relationship generally applies to instruments in which Truist is short the underlying exposure. Weighted average volatility is calculated based on the notional amounts of the derivative instruments.
Current report
On August 31, 2026, Mike Lyons became Truist’s President and Chief Executive Officer. We are reallocating resources to focus on our core business and invest in core capabilities (including technology, talent, and products). These efforts are centered on helping us become the most important financial partner to our clients and driving stronger, more sustainable growth and higher returns.
Current report
For the third quarter of 2026, we reported net income of $684 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, which reflects the impact of several actions to better position Truist for the future. The actions described below simplify the Company, allow us to focus more on our core businesses, and further strengthen our balance sheet by reducing credit risk, interest rate risk, and wholesale funding.
Current report
The actions taken during the third quarter included the completion of the Regional Acceptance Corporation (RAC) loan sale and the subsequent repositioning of a portion of our AFS securities portfolio. The RAC loan sale resulted in a $581 million pre-tax, or $0.36 per share, loan loss reserve recapture and $106 million pre-tax, or $0.06 per share, of impacts included in noninterest income and noninterest expense. The AFS securities repositioning resulted in a $1.4 billion pre-tax, or $0.90 per share, loss.

The following terms may be used throughout this report, including in the consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Previous wording
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates that are used in arriving at the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Certain of these estimates are considered critical because they require the use of difficult, complex, or subjective judgments, which are sensitive to changes in key assumptions or inputs. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the ACL; fair value measurement; goodwill; income taxes; and pension and postretirement benefit obligations.

The ALLL estimation process estimates expected loan and lease losses using quantitative components, primarily driven by statistical models, and qualitative components that reflect management’s judgment regarding future loss risk. The quantitative models incorporate borrower and portfolio characteristics, historical loss experience, and current and forecasted economic conditions. The quantitative models have been designed to estimate losses using macroeconomic forecasts over a reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years, followed by a reversion to long-term historical loss conditions over a one-year period. Forecasts of macroeconomic variables used in loss forecasting include unemployment trends, U.S. real GDP, corporate credit spreads, property values, home price indices, and used car prices.

Truist also provides estimates of reasonably possible losses, including for disclosed matters, when potential losses become reasonably possible and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates reasonably possible losses, in excess of amounts accrued, of up to approximately $150 million in the aggregate as of June 30, 2026. This estimate does not represent Truist’s maximum loss exposure, and actual losses may vary significantly. Also, the outcome of a particular matter may be one that the Company did not take into account in its estimate because the Company judged the likelihood of that outcome to be remote. In addition, the matters underlying this estimate may change from time to time. Estimated losses, like accruals, are based upon currently available information and involve considerable uncertainties and judgment.

Truist has entered into risk participation agreements to share the credit exposure with other financial institutions on client-related interest rate derivative contracts. Under these agreements, the Company has guaranteed payment to a dealer counterparty in the event the counterparty experiences a loss on the derivative due to a failure to pay by the counterparty’s client. The Company manages its payment risk on its risk participations by monitoring the creditworthiness of the underlying clients through the normal credit review process that the Company would have performed had it entered into a derivative directly with the obligors. At June 30, 2026, the remaining terms on these risk participations ranged from less thanone year toten years. The potential future exposure represents the Company’s maximum estimated exposure to written risk participations, as measured by projecting a maximum value of the guaranteed derivative instruments based on scenario simulations and assuming 100% default by all obligors on the maximum value.

The commercial ALLL decreased $138 million and the consumer and credit card ALLL decreased $829 million, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The decrease in the commercial ALLL primarily reflects lower reserve requirements for CRE and commercial construction, that was partially offset by loan growth in the commercial and industrial and CRE portfolios. The decrease in consumer and credit card reserves primarily reflects the RAC loan sale and a modest decrease in reserve rates on the residential mortgage and other consumer portfolios, that was partially offset by loan growth in other consumer lending.
