Effects on financial statements
ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):
Issued May 2014
- Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance.

- Requires an entity to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

- Also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers

- Guidance sets forth a five step approach for revenue recognition.
- Effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Management adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.

- Management's analysis includes:
(a) Identification of all revenue streams included in the financial statements;
(b) Determination of scope exclusions to identify ‘in-scope’ revenue streams;
(c) Determination of size, timing, and amount of revenue recognition for in-scope items;
(d) Identification of contracts for further analysis; and
(e) Completion of review of certain contracts to evaluate the potential impact of the new guidance.

- Key revenue streams identified include service charges, credit card and payment processing fees, trust services fees, insurance income, brokerage services, and mortgage banking income.

- The Update did not have a significant impact on Huntington’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2016-01 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.
Issued January 2016

- Improvements to GAAP disclosures including requiring an entity to:
(a) Measure its equity investments with changes in the fair value recognized in the income statement.
(b) Present separately in OCI the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments (i.e., FVO liability).
(c) Use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.
(d) Assess deferred tax assets related to a net unrealized loss on AFS securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.
- Effective for the fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

- Amendments are applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.

- The amendment did not have a significant impact on Huntington's Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2016-02 - Leases.
Issued February 2016

- New lease accounting model for lessors and lessees. For lessees, virtually all leases will be required to be recognized on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability. Subsequent accounting for leases varies depending on whether the lease is classified as an operating lease or a finance lease.

- Accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under the existing guidance.

- Requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures with the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.
- Effective for the fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted.

- Management intends to adopt the guidance on January 1, 2019, and has formed a working group comprised of associates from different disciplines, including Procurement, Real Estate, and Credit Administration, to evaluate the impact of the standard where Huntington is a lessee or lessor, as well as any impact to borrower’s financial statements.

- Management is currently assessing the impact of the new guidance on Huntington's Consolidated Financial Statements, including working with associates engaged in the procurement of goods and services used in the entity’s operations, and reviewing contractual arrangements for embedded leases in an effort to identify Huntington’s full lease population.

- Huntington will recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for virtually all of its operating lease commitments.

ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.
Issued June 2016
- Eliminates the probable recognition threshold for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost.

- Requires those financial assets to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected (i.e., net of expected credit losses).

- Measurement of expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount.
- Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.

- Adoption will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.

- Management intends to adopt the guidance on January 1, 2020 and has formed a working group comprised of teams from different disciplines including credit and finance to evaluate the requirements of the new standard and the impact it will have on our processes.

- The early stages of this evaluation include a review of existing credit models to identify areas where existing credit models used to comply with other regulatory requirements may be leveraged and areas where new impairment models may be required.
ASU 2016-15 - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.
Issued August 2016
- Clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows.

- Provides consistent principles for evaluating the classification of cash payments and receipts in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to several types of cash flows.

- Entities will instead recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value.

- Entities will still have the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.
