Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses: Loans and Unfunded Credit Commitments | Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses: Loans and Unfunded Credit Commitments We serve a variety of commercial clients in the private equity/venture capital, technology, life science/healthcare, commercial real estate and premium wine sectors. Loans made to private equity/venture capital firm clients typically enable them to fund investments prior to their receipt of funds from capital calls and are reported under the Global Fund Banking class of financing receivable below. Our technology clients generally tend to be in the industries of hardware (such as semiconductors, communications, data, storage and electronics), software/internet (such as infrastructure software, applications, software services, digital content and advertising technology) and ERI. Our life science/healthcare clients primarily tend to be in the industries of biotechnology, medical devices, healthcare information technology and healthcare services. Loans to our technology and life science/healthcare clients are reported under the Investor Dependent, Cash Flow Dependent — SLBO and Innovation C&I classes of financing receivable below. Commercial real estate loans are generally acquisition financing for commercial properties such as office buildings, retail properties, apartment buildings and industrial/warehouse space, which moving forward, will predominantly support the innovation economy segments. We also make commercial and industrial loans, such as working capital lines and term loans for equipment and fixed assets, to clients that are not in the technology and life science/healthcare industries, which are reported in the Other C&I class of financing receivable below. Loans to the premium wine industry focus on vineyards and wineries that produce grapes and wines of high quality. In addition to commercial loans, we make consumer loans through SVB Private and provide real estate secured loans to eligible employees through our EHOP. We also provide community development loans made as part of our responsibilities under the CRA. The majority of these loans are included within the Other and CRE loan class below and are primarily secured by real estate. Additionally, beginning in April 2020, we accepted applications under the PPP administered by the SBA under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and originated loans to qualified small businesses. PPP funds under the CARES Act were disbursed throughout 2020 and up to June 30, 2021. Loan Portfolio Segments and Classes of Financing Receivables The composition of loans at amortized cost basis broken out by class of financing receivable at December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, is presented in the following table: December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2022 2021 Global fund banking $ 41,269 $ 37,958 Investor dependent: Early stage 1,950 1,593 Growth stage 4,763 3,951 Total investor dependent 6,713 5,544 Cash flow dependent — SLBO 1,966 1,798 Innovation C&I 8,609 6,673 Private bank 10,477 8,743 CRE 2,583 2,670 Premium wine 1,158 985 Other C&I 1,019 1,257 Other 433 317 PPP 23 331 Total loans (1) (2) (3) $ 74,250 $ 66,276 ACL (636) (422) Net loans $ 73,614 $ 65,854 (1) Total loans at amortized cost is net of unearned income, deferred fees and costs and net unamortized premiums and discounts of $283 million and $250 million at December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. (2) Included within our total loan portfolio are credit card loans of $555 million and $583 million at December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. (3) Included within our total loan portfolio are construction loans of $539 million and $367 million at December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Credit Quality Indicators For each individual client, we establish an internal credit risk rating for that loan, which is used for assessing and monitoring credit risk as well as performance of the loan and the overall portfolio. Our internal credit risk ratings are also used to summarize the risk of loss due to failure by an individual borrower to repay the loan. For our internal credit risk ratings, each individual loan is given a risk rating of 1 through 10. Loans risk-rated 1 through 4 are performing loans and translate to an internal rating of “Pass,” with loans risk-rated 1 being cash secured. Loans risk-rated 5 through 7 are performing loans; however, we consider them as demonstrating higher risk, which requires more frequent review of the individual exposures and translate to an internal rating of “Criticized.” All of our nonaccrual loans are risk-rated 8 or 9 and are classified with the internal rating of “Nonperforming.” Loans rated 10 are charged-off and are not included as part of our loan portfolio balance. We review our credit quality indicators on a quarterly basis for performance and appropriateness of risk ratings as part of our evaluation process for our ACL for loans. The following tables summarize the credit quality indicators, broken out by class of financing receivable and vintage year, as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Allowance for Credit Losses: Loans As of December 31, 2022, the ACL for loans increased by $214 million from December 31, 2021, driven primarily by loan growth and the continued deterioration in projected economic conditions. The Moody's Analytics' December 2022 forecast was utilized in our quantitative model for the ACL as of December 31, 2022. The forecast assumptions reflected deterioration in the gross domestic product growth rate and unemployment rate, as well as a projected shrinkage of the housing price index. The overall impact of these assumptions was a worse forecast than that used at December 31, 2021. We determined the forecast to be representative of our outlook for the economy given the available information at year end. We do not estimate expected credit losses on AIR on loans, as AIR is reversed or written off when the full collection of the AIR related to a loan becomes doubtful. AIR on loans totaled $402 million as of December 31, 2022, and $171 million as of December 31, 2021, and is reported in "Accrued interest receivable and other assets" in our consolidated balance sheets.

We had no unfunded commitments available for funding to the clients associated with these TDRs as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, we had 62 TDRs with a total carrying value of $96 million where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties in an attempt to maximize collection. There were no unfunded commitments available for funding to the clients associated with these TDRs as of December 31, 2021.

During 2022, $52 million of new TDRs were modified through payment deferrals granted to our clients and $1 million were modified through interest rate reductions. During 2021, $31 million of new TDRs were modified through payment deferrals granted to our clients, $2 million were modified through interest rate reductions, $2 million were modified through settlements, and $22 million were modified through a combination of the above. During 2020, $55 million of new TDRs were modified through payment deferrals, and $1 million were modified through partial forgiveness of principal. Of loans modified in TDRs within the previous 12 months, $1 million in Investor Dependent - Early Stage and $1 million in Innovation C&I defaulted on the modified terms during the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no defaults of loans modified in TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2021. There were $1 million in defaults on TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2020 in Premium Wine. Charge-offs and defaults on previously restructured loans are evaluated to determine the impact to the ACL for loans, if any. The evaluation of these defaults may impact the assumptions used in calculating the reserve on other TDRs and nonaccrual loans as well as management’s overall outlook of macroeconomic factors that affect the reserve on the loan portfolio as a whole. After evaluating the charge-offs and defaults experienced on our TDRs, we determined that no change to our reserving methodology for TDRs was necessary to determine the ACL for loans as of December 31, 2022. ACL: Unfunded Credit Commitments We maintain a separate ACL for unfunded credit commitments that is determined using a methodology that is inherently similar to the methodology used for calculating the ACL for loans. At December 31, 2022 , our ACL estimates utilized the Moody's economic forecasts from December 2022 as mentioned above. The ACL for unfunded commitments increased by $132 million from prior year, driven primarily by continued growth in our outstanding commitments, as well as the same deterioration in projected economic conditions described above. The following table summarizes the activity relating to our ACL for unfunded credit commitments for 2022, 2021 and 2020: December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2022 2021 2020 ACL: unfunded credit commitments, beginning balance $ 171 $ 121 $ 68 Impact of adopting ASC 326 — — 23 Provision for credit losses 133 50 30 Foreign currency translation adjustments (1) — — ACL: unfunded credit commitments, ending balance (1) $ 303 $ 171 $ 121 (1) The “ACL: unfunded credit commitments” is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets.
