Greetings, and welcome to the Huntington Bankshares Second Quarter Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen only mode. A brief question and answer session will follow As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Mr. Mark Moose, Director of Investor Relations.
Thank you, sir. You may begin.
Thank you, Michelle. Welcome. I'm Mark Mood, Director of Investor Relations for Huntington. Copies of the slides we will be reviewing can be found on the Investor Relations section of our website, www.huntington.com. This call is being recorded will be available as a rebroadcast starting about 1 hour from the close of the call.

As noted on Slide 2, today's discussion including the Q And A period will contain forward looking statements. Such statements are based on information and assumptions available at this time, are subject to changes, risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially. We assume no obligations to update such statements. For a complete discussion of risks and uncertainties, please refer to this slide and material filed with the SEC, including our most recent Forms 10K, 10 Q and 8 K Balance.
Let me now turn it over to Steve for opening remarks.
Thanks, Mark, and thank you to everyone for joining the call today. We're pleased with our 2nd quarter results, which reflect solid execution across the bank, despite an incredibly dynamic and challenging operating environment. Revenue was essentially level with the year ago quarter as record mortgage income offset pandemic related headwinds. The actions we've taken to reduce our deposit costs along with the hedging strategy we implemented in 2019 are helping to offset the impact from lower rates. Expenses were down year over year as a result of the proactive expense actions we took in the fourth quarter of 'nineteen as well as the new program we are implementing in 2020.
Our business model balance between commercial and consumer provides diversification of revenue, where good performance is offsetting challenges. Our increased PP and R year over year reflects consistent execution of our strategies. Our purpose of looking out for people has night interactions during these difficult times. I'm extremely proud of my colleagues and their continued efforts to communicate with and support our customers as well as each other. Over the past months, the bank funded more than 37,000 loans the total volume of more than $6,000,000,000 through the SBA's paycheck protection program or PPP, a small and medium sized businesses across our footprint.
Huntington is well positioned with robust capital and liquidity to remain supportive of our customers and communities going forward. Huntington received the highest score in the Daily Power Mobile 2020 mobile app satisfaction study for regional banks. Now, this is the 2nd year in a row we've been recognized by J. D. Power, providing evidence that our focused technology investments are being well received by our customers.
The unprecedented level of government stimulus has supported both individuals and many companies. Fed support has brought financial stability to market Recent economic headlines generally appear more positive with homebuilder, auto and RV and marine sales and sentiment exceeding pre pandemic levels. U. S. Consumer retail sales rose 7.5% in June as businesses have resumed operations.
In our businesses, we saw record consumer mortgage origination activity in the second quarter. Our commercial pipelines have improved over the past few weeks, and our customers becoming more optimistic for the future with many manufacturing customers expecting to be back to pre pandemic activity levels during the second half of the year. Our outlook reflects consensus view of economists that the recovery is taking hold, but progress will be uneven While we do see science for optimism, we remain vigilant to possible risks, and our disability is generally limited to the next few months. The range of potential outcomes on key metrics managing our businesses. As a result of lower interest rate levels, we are taking actions to manage expenses this year, which Jack will further describe.
We remain disciplined on expense growth while making further investments in technology and other strategic business initiatives as the economy recovers. And as we've discussed previously over the past decade, we have fundamentally changed Huntington's enterprise risk management, It's now a strength of the company as compared to a weakness during the prior cycle. The most recent defect results demonstrate superior credit performance for our 5th consecutive DFAS filing. Our modeled tune loss loan losses in the fed severely adverse scenario remain among the best in the peer group, while our stressed capital buffer established at the minimum level, up 2.5%. Our commitment to an aggregate moderate to low risk profiles illustrated through the DFAST results.
Our 2nd quarter credit metrics remain sound as we address the issues in our oil and gas portfolio. With our 2nd quarter provision, we believe we have the loss exposure in the oil and gas portfolio fully reserved. Our underlying portfolio metrics continue to reflect our expectation for outperformance through the cycle. We restrained our commercial lending in 2019 with a 4th quarter average year over year growth rate of 1.8% which gives us a more seasoned portfolio of commercial loans at this point in the cycle. This morning, we announced the board declared the 3rd quarter cash dividend of $0.15 per common share unchanged from the prior quarter.
Based on what we know today, management expects to maintain a quarterly dividend rate in the fourth quarter, subject to the board's normal, quarterly approval process, and you'll hear more about the dividend from Zach as well. So Zack, ask you now to provide an overview
of the financial performance and carry forward. Thanks, Steve, and good morning, everyone. Slide 3 provides the highlights for the 20 22nd quarter. We reported earnings per common share of $0.13, return on average assets, was 51 basis points. Return on average common equity was 5% and return on average tangible common equity was 6.7 percent.
Clearly, results were significantly impacted by the elevated level of credit provision expense as we added 218,000,000 to the reserve during the quarter. Now let's turn to Slide 4 to review our results in more detail. Year over year, pre tax pre provision earnings growth was 4%. We believe this is solid performance in light of the challenges of the interest rate environment and the rapid decline in short term rates year to date. Total revenue was relatively flat versus the year ago quarter as pressure on spread revenues was nearly offset by growth in fee income.
Specifically, record mortgage banking income of $96,000,000 was partially offset by waivers to assist our customers reduced customer activity and the higher levels of consumer deposit account balances that reduced the deposit service charges and cards and payment fee line items. Total expenses were lower by $25,000,000 or 4% from the year ago quarter. This expense discipline reflects the actions we took in the 2019 fourth quarter to reduce our overhead expense run rate including a reduction of 200 positions and the closure of 31 in store branches, as well as the actions we have taken to adapt to the current environment balanced against the impact of continued investment in our technology capabilities. Finally, I would like to note that the normal size containing comparisons for our net interest income fee income and non interest expense can be found in the appendix. Turning to Slide 5.
Net interest margin was 2.94 percent for the quarter, down 20 basis points quarter NIM was negatively impacted by a few unusual items that I would like to highlight. Elevated deposits held at the Fed during the quarter reduced NIM by 7 basis points, versus the first quarter. This impact would have been larger, but for our active management to move several $1,000,000,000 of non primary bank relationship account balances, off the sheet during the quarter. Reduced loan late fees, primarily in our auto portfolio, compressed NIM by 3 basis points. Additionally, in Q2, NIM was negatively impacted by 3 basis point derivative and effective this mark.
While in Q1, the mark was positive 4 basis points. Thus, 7 basis points of the 20 basis points of quarter to quarter NIM compression was driven by this item. Our underlying NIM performed quite well despite the challenging interest rate environment. Given our strong liquidity position, We continue to actively manage down our cost of funds. Our average cost of interest bearing deposits was 25 basis points in the month of June, and we see some continued opportunity for modest further reduction.
Our hedging actions continue to reduce the unfavorable impacts of interest rate volatility and the lower interest rate environment. In the second quarter, we had $1,600,000,000 of forward starting asset hedges become active. Providing NIM benefit going forward. Moving forward to Slide 6, average earning assets increased $9,900,000 or 10 percent compared to the year ago quarter. Average commercial and industrial loans increased 15% from the year ago quarter.
And 14% linked quarter, reflecting the addition of $4,100,000,000 in average PPP loans. As of quarter end, the total PPP loan balance was just over $6,000,000,000. Outside of PPP lending, we saw solid growth in health care, and asset finance in the quarter. Offsetting this growth, auto floor plan line utilization was suppressed due to lack of new inventory from OEMs, and we continue to actively manage the non core exposure in our oil and gas portfolio down, including $170,000,000 of loans sold, or under contract to be sold in, the 2nd quarter. Consumer loan growth remained focused on the, in the residential mortgage portfolio, reflecting robust originations over the past 4 quarters.
Also, as a result of the elevated deposit levels in the quarter, we saw a material increase in interest bearing deposits being held at the Fed. Turning to Slide 7, we will review the deposit growth. Average core deposits increased 13% year over year, and 12% versus the first quarter, primarily driven by commercial loan growth related to the PPP loans and commercial line draws. Consumer growth related to government stimulus and reduced account attrition. During the quarter, we saw dramatic shifts in the retail deposit acquisition trends as consumer and business banking customers adapted to the COVID environment.
We saw utilization of on line account opening channels increased 13% quarter over quarter and 61% year over year. We are now seeing traditional are now seeing traditional branch based acquisition approaching pre COVID levels. Slide 8 highlights the trends in commercial loans total deposits, salable mortgage originations, and debit card spend, which is consistent with what we disclosed at last month's Morgan Stanley conference. Slide 9 illustrates the continued strength of our capital and liquidity ratios. The common equity Tier 1 ratio or CET1 ended the quarter at 9.84 percent, down 4 basis points year over year.
The tangible common equity ratio or TCE, ended the quarter at 7.28 percent, down 52 basis points from a year ago. Let me turn it over now to Rich to cover credit. Rich?
Thanks, Zach. Before I get into the 2nd quarter credit results, I want to turn your attention to Slide 10, which illustrates the relevant rankings of modeled cumulative loan losses for Huntington, and our peers in the Federal Reserve severely adverse scenarios of the 2020 DFAST exercise. As Steve has mentioned over time, This is the only true comparison of credit risk across the sector that we know of, and it provides us independent validation of the credit risk management discipline and practices we've been implementing for over a decade now to achieve an aggregate moderate to low risk profile. Our 2020 DFAS result us at the top of Our portfolio composition, evenly split between consumer and commercial businesses, gives us diversification in periods of economic this much. Turning now to the credit metrics and results.
Slide 11 provides a walk of our allowance for credit losses or ACL, from year end 2019 to 2nd quarter. You can see our ACLs more than doubled during this period, increasing by just under $1,000,000,000 to 2.27 percent of loans. Excluding the PPP loan balances, our a $218,000,000 reserve build from the first quarter. Like the first quarter, there were multiple data points used besides the provision expense for Q2. The primary economic scenario within our loss estimation process was the main Moody's baseline forecast.
This scenario assumes peak unemployment in Q2 2020 of 15%, followed by a rebound to 9% by the end of 2020, and a slow recovery to 8.5% by the fourth quarter of 2021. GDP recovers from a 33% decline in 2Q 2020 in end the full year down almost 6% and demonstrates 1.5% growth in 2021, with most occurring in the second half of the year. The Q2 ACL now includes a 30% reserve against our oil and gas portfolio. We believe we have the lost content in this portfolio fully reserved. We have bifurcated this portfolio into core and non core segments, with the non core portion representing just under 60% of oil and gas borrowings.
Our 30% coverage includes a 44% coverage ratio against the non core portfolio and a 9% reserve against the core portfolio. We call that our oil and gas portfolio represents about 1% of total loans. Slide 12 shows our NPAs and TDRs. Demonstrates the impact that our oil and gas portfolio has had on our overall level of NPAs. We have discussed for several quarters the challenges we see with this portfolio.
Commodity prices continued to range below economical levels for this industry. Oil And Gas NPAs represent 40% of our overall NPAs and are also a significant contributor to our Q2 NPA build. Notably, over 95% of our oil and gas NPAs were current pay respect to principal and interest as of quarter end. Slide 13 provides additional details around the financial accommodations we provided our commercial customers. The commercial deferrals are now graduating to abemons and waivers.
And outside of the hospitality and other travel related business we do not see a widespread need for additional payment relief. Our auto dealers and franchise restaurant customers, 2 of our larger deferral users, are both exiting those deferral periods in strong shape, and we expect nearly all those deferrals to run their course in Q3. Today, requests for additional deferral periods have been limited in the other commercial portfolios as well. Slide 14 shows our consumer deferral and the early new series good as well. Our auto RV marine and HELAC portfolios are performing as we would have expected with modest close deferral delinquencies.
Our focus on High FICO customers here has shielded us somewhat from job losses we have seen. The mortgage accommodations are a 2 step process as the new forbearance agreement is necessary upon the expiration of the first. As a result, we have limited visibility into the resolution here.
Slide 15 provides an update
to the industry's hardest hit by COVID-nineteen to date. We have thoroughly reviewed these portfolios as well as 75% of our total commercial loan portfolio since April and believe we have the existing risks identified and appropriately managed. Our hotel exposure is centered on 5 primary sponsors. Most of them are long term relationships, including through the last downturn. We believe these sponsors have the liquidity and financial flexibility to see their way through the longer term recovery period we forecast for this industry.
Our restaurant exposure is primarily in the national quick service brands that have maintained drive up operations, and our sandwich and pizza customers have been open for takeout service to offset the declines in in house seating. We believe this book to be in good shape overall, will continue to closely monitor the heightened risk in the single location and other non franchise names in the portfolio. As a leading SBA lender in the country, we also have guarantees on over $400,000,000 of the restaurant, childcare, physician's practices and other sectors. Provides us additional opportunities for recoveries. In the second quarter, as part of our active portfolio management process, We evaluated the COVID related impacts across all portfolios and took appropriate actions as required by regulatory guidance, to downgrade those severely impacted credits to criticized status.
This review resulted in an increase to our criticized asset level of $1,100,000,000 in the quarter. You would expect, they were centered on the industries referenced in the chart: Hospitality, retail, airport parking and auto suppliers. The customers in these affected industries, except for auto, but had longer passed back to a full recovery, and we felt it prudent to move those credits to criticized status. We will take a patient approach to working with these customers and currently do not see a significant loss content. Of the 30 percent of the downgrades we did not attribute to COVID, Most of that was in our oil and gas portfolio.
Slide 16 provides a snapshot of key product quality metrics for the quarter. Our credit performance on the whole was strong. Net charge offs represented an annualized 54 basis points of average loans and leases. Commercial charge offs were centered in the oil and gas portfolio, which made up approximately 75% of the total commercial net charge offs. Would also point out that nearly all these oil and gas charge offs resulted from loan sales closed or contracted for sale during the quarter as we prudently reduce our exposure to this industry.
Annualized total net charge offs, excluding the oil and gas related losses were 24 basis points, down the balance of our portfolio continued to perform well in Q2. Consumer charge offs were down to 30 basis points in Q2. Demonstrating our continued strong consumer portfolio. As always, we have provided additional granularity by portfolio in the analyst package and the slides. Non performing asset ratio increased 14 basis points linked quarter and 28 basis points year over year to 89 basis points due to the oil and gas impact I described Let me turn it back over to Zack.
Thank you, Rich. Turning to Slide 17, I will provide our expectations for the 3rd quarter. As was the case last quarter, we feel it's prudent to limit our guidance to the current quarter due to the ongoing uncertainty around the economic outlook. As Steve alluded to earlier, we have confidence in our businesses and are pleased with our second quarter results given the headwinds in the quarter. Our sentiment has improved from 90 days ago due to the recent trends we are seeing and the actions we've taken to better position the bank for success going forward.
Looking at the average balance sheet for the third quarter, We expect average loans to be approximately flat on a linked quarter basis. Consumer loans are expected to increase approximately 2% driven by continued growth in the residential mortgage and RV and marine lending. Commercial loans are expected to decrease approximately 1% as the full quarter impact of PPP is more than offset by continued reductions in dealer floor plan and commercial loan utilization rates. Our current projections assume the majority of the PPP balances will remain on the balance sheet through the end of the year. Our early stage commercial pipelines have been building over the past several weeks, supporting the expectation of accelerating growth in the latter part of the year.
We balanced this customer optimism with an acknowledgement of the fluidity of the current economy and some concern that the recent upward trend in the infection could dampen the pace of the economic Commercial deposits are expected to decrease approximately 3%, assuming gradual usage of deposit inflows from the government stimulus. We expect total revenue to increase approximately 2% linked quarter with net interest income increasing 2% to 4%. We expect GAAP NIM to expand approximately 7 to 10 basis points versus the 2nd quarter NIM of 2.94%. As a result of the hedging strategy and the elimination namely 3 basis points of reduced loan rate fees and 3 basis points of derivative ineffectiveness mark. Our NIM expectation does not include material benefit from the acceleration of PVP fees from, from the repayment or forgiveness of those loans.
The third quarter. We expect fee income to be approximately flat as mortgage banking activity remains robust and pandemic impacted revenue line rebound. Based on the debit card trends, we would expect a slight pickup in card related fees in the 3rd quarter, Deposit account activity volumes are increasing. Yet given the elevated level of consumer deposits, we do not expect a full recovery in deposit service charges. These increases are expected to be related to the annuitization of a retiree health plan and the retirement plan services record keeping business sale.
As I mentioned earlier, we are benefiting from the expense actions we took in the fourth quarter of 2019. In addition, given both the initiatives being identified in our ongoing strategic planning process, we are now executing the expense management program we have previewed for you on prior calls. As I mentioned previously, our outlook to this plan is focused on 4 categories of expenses, the size and compensation level of the organization, structural expenses, including our branch and corporate facilities, investments, primarily the optimization of the level of marketing and lastly, other discretionary expenses. This program is sized to generate approximately $75,000,000, of annual savings in 2020 2021. In 2020, this cost rationalization will allow the bank to prudently manage expenses given the economic and business uncertainty that exists this year.
We've modeled numerous scenarios for the 2020 financial outlook, majority of these forecasts achieving positive operating leverage for 2020, inclusive of the expected approximately $25,000,000 of restructuring costs related to the expense management program. Importantly, we've been positioning the company for some time to be ready to capitalize on opportunities to drive accelerated revenue and market share growth that will arise when the economy economic recovery begins to solidify. While our longer term planning for 2021 is still a work in process, our current expectation is that if we continue to see positive signs of economic stabilization and regrowth. We will accelerate investments in digital technology capabilities, product differentiation and other strategic initiatives in the latter part of 2020 and into next year, potentially utilizing up to the full amount of these savings for this purpose in calendar year 2020. Thus, this program provides the opportunity to fund these initiatives while generally maintaining a strong expense efficiency level in 20.
We expect non interest expenses to increase approximately 5% on a linked quarter basis. Approximately 2% of this growth is driven by the $15,000,000 of the total approximately $25,000,000 restructuring costs associated with the expense management actions that we recognized in the 3rd quarter. The remaining approximately 3% is driven by investments in technology and marketing, as well as the return of customer and sales activity closer to pre pandemic level Finally, we expect net charge offs in the 3rd quarter to be near 65 basis points. This is reflective of the potential charge offs in the oil and gas portfolio as well as broader economic considerations. Fundamentally, our credit remains sound.
However, the economic outlook remains uncertain and we are likely to see elevated provision expense through the remainder of 2020.
Michelle, we will now take questions. We ask that as a courtesy to your peers each person ask only one question and one related follow-up And then if that person has any additional questions, he or she can add themselves back into the queue.
Our first question comes from the line of John Armstrong with RBC Capital. Please proceed with your question.
Thanks. Good morning, guys.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Nice job. There's a lot of places to go, but let's just talk oil and gas. To get that out of the way. Longer term, what's the plan there? Is it just to get down to $500,000,000 or $600,000,000, what you call your core portfolio?
And if you could maybe project, is it are you done in Q3 or are you done in Q4 when does the noise start to go away from this portfolio?
Hey, John, it's Rich. With respect to the oil and gas piece of it, we've got it bifurcated into core and noncore, sector. And the focus is really on getting that noncore piece of the portfolio down. And, you know, through whatever methods we have, you know, and you saw in Q2 that we sold about $170,000,000 to the extent that we've got opportunities where we think the sale price is better than what, a recovery might be if the the credit got into trouble, we would certainly, do that. As it relates to the ongoing strategy, we're not originating any new loans in that space.
We haven't for over a year now. I think, you know, we're really just focused on the portfolio we have now in managing the risk there.
John, this is probably the last quarter we're going to distinguish ourselves with reporting out the oil and gas like this because we believe we've got it boxed now. Fully reserved. And, and while you'll see metrics around that, we don't feel, a need to to call it out like we have this quarter as picking up in the normal course. And we'll look to maximize the portfolio, particularly the non core over time.
Okay. All right. And then just a follow-up. The rest of it looks so clean. From a credit perspective.
And Zach, you talked about the 3rd quarter, 4th quarter provisions remaining elevated I see a 245 ACL and relatively 10 credit metrics. I guess the question is, how much of reserve bill do you think you still need and how do you want us to think through that third quarter 4th quarter provisioning level?
Hey, John, it's Rich. I'll take that.
So, you
know, we haven't really, you know, thought about what a build in the search quarter would look like, as you work through the CECL methodology, it is a point in time process. And so similar to what we did in Q2, we will do the same process in Q3. We will look at what the change in the economic outlook might be. The end of September. We're certainly not going to resend to anything, earlier in the quarter.
We're going to take every available day we have to look at the economic condition, and the forecast that we see. We'll also have another quarter of portfolio activity to see how the portfolio is behaving relative to our expectations. And based on those 2 factors, we'll look at, where we think the provision ought to be. So I, you know, it's really hard for us to sit here and really see. So when you forecast additional build, it's really a quarter by quarter kind of step by step process.
But John, we do like, generally how the portfolios performed thus far. And, feel good having looked at a very substantial amount of the commercial portfolio in-depth during the quarter and try to have a realistic, if not conservative lens on it. Which is reflected in some of the metrics like the criticized law increase, but it the performance, for the quarter was frankly better than we would have expected it to be at the core. And And we're, but we're, you know, we've got a recurrence of the virus. It looks like coming and
And we don't know what
the 4th round, if it happens, some stimulus will do. There's a lot of unknowns here. So it's very, very difficult to project where this is going to go yet.
Okay. All right. Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of John Sam Carey with Ever Core ISI. Please proceed with your question.
Good morning. Hi, Josh.
Good
morning. On your comment, right, that you just mentioned to John, about looking at the reserve each quarter. You just mentioned you're looking at the behavior of your credits versus your expectations. Isn't that a dynamic that under CECL should have already been factored into the reserve in terms of how the credits are actually behaving versus what you modeled because now you're providing at a lifetime loss expectation?
No, that's right. And then I thought my comment was meant to mean that we will look at how the, portfolio, if there are changes in the portfolio from the end of Q2 to the end of Q3.
Okay. So more about the growth then versus the underlying credit?
It could be growth. It could also be changes in underlying credit. I mean, to the extent that, there's further deterioration or improvement either way in the portfolio that gets reflected in the modeled outputs for what would go into Q3.
Okay. Got it. And then I guess, so if the 2.45 percent reserve right now, excluding PVP loans, does represent your best expectation of the lifetime loss content of your loan portfolio. How do you attribute the difference between that ratio and your company run most recent DFAST estimates that you did. Is it that they all come down to the macro assumptions and the amount of stimulus that you're factoring in?
Yes, we haven't disclosed the company run, CFS scenarios. But certainly, there's going to be a number of factors that will go into, you know, what we provided, in our forecast versus what we're just running through the models.
Okay. I got it. And then lastly, just wanted to ask about the cadence of the cost saved of the $75,000,000. Could you talk about how, I know you mentioned a portion in 2020 And then the rest in 2021, could you just talk about how we can expect the timing of that to play out?
Sure. This is Zack John. Thanks for the question. So as I mentioned, it's about a $75,000,000 save in both years. And over time, the, like we've said many times in the past, we want to manage the expense base based on the revenue outlook.
And so, you know, a very substantial chunk of that $75,000,000 we would expect to flow to the bottom line in 2020 and not be reinvested. To the extent that we see the economy improving as we go forward and the pace and, and level of that recovery because more certain, we would expect to start to ramp up the investments, as I mentioned in my prepared remarks, and therefore, have a less propensity of a neutral net benefit from that at 'twenty one. As we go forward. But for 2020, just to kind of come back to your question specifically, around a third of that say, accrued to the second quarter as it was around $50,000,000 left on a gross basis before any, modest acceleration investments in the back half of the year. And before the $25,000,000 restructuring costs, in Q3 and Q4.
Got it. Thanks, Zach. It's helpful.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Ken Usdin with Jefferies. Please proceed with your question.
Hey guys, good morning. I was just wondering if you could help walk through the impact of PPP in terms of the yield you're seeing on that portfolio. What it added to, NII. And, Zach, I know you said that forgiveness is not built into the forecast, but how are you generally anticipating it to to go going forward? Thanks.
Yes. Thanks for the question. Let me, try to put some math behind this for you. Just starting first with the yield, was accretive to yield in the 2nd quarter by, as we noted, about the 2 basis points of net interest margin. And really what drives that is, the portfolio rate we were seeing in June was 3.43 percent, on an accrual basis for those loans in June.
Which was made up of 1% of the underlying yield. And then the amortization of what for us based on the size mix of our loan of PVP our PPP loans was around 3 percent, placement fee over the life of the loan. So the combination of those two things for June was 3.43 percent and, hence, additive to the overall NIM by around, let's say, 2 basis points. It was around $35,000,000 of revenue in Q2. As well.
As we go forward into Q3 from a NIM perspective, I think it's accretive by around 1 basis point is our current estimate. So it's a tiny drag on a quarter to quarter basis of one basis point down, but pretty neutral, in that respect into the 3rd quarter. In terms of the forgiveness, I think the other part of your question, this continues to be a function of estimates, as you might imagine. But our planning estimate at this point is that a roughly 85% of the loans outstanding will be forgiven. The process around that is the thing that's driving the most uncertainty around the timing.
And so right now, we're assuming that the loans less than $150,000 each, which is around $1,000,000,000 of the $6,000,000,000 loans, will be on a likely on a fast track forgiveness process and hence, will likely be forgiven in the fourth quarter. That's our planning assumption for that. And then let's say around 10% of the remaining greater than $150,000 loans. Are forgiven in Q4. So, which would make about 1 quarter of the total $6,000,000,000 forgiven in Q4 with the remainder of 75% forgiven of what's going to be forgiven, forgiven in, in Q1.
So I think by the end of the year, We expect on an average basis in Q4, we still expect to see around $4,700,000,000 of PTP in the fourth quarter coming down to around $700,000,000 by Q1 of next year. Does that Okay.
And just to follow-up, the $35,000,000 you recognize in 2Q when you get a full quarter of it in Q, what are you ballparking that, that to turn into? I know you put it in NIM terms directionally, but in terms of dollar terms?
Yes, that's a good question. $50,000,000 roughly.
Got it. Thanks very much.
Our next questions.
This is Janet Leon for Steve. I have a follow-up question on energy. So your energy levels are at 30% of total exposure and this being fully reserved for the lost content. Can you just share with us some of the key underlying assumptions baked into this reserve level such as a trajectory of energy charge off, NPLs and criticized, going from here as well as some of the macro factors like where you think the oil price is trying to set up? Thanks.
It's Rich Janet. We took a number of factors as we, you know, kind of size the reserve build there. When we looked at the core and non core portfolios, there were a number of factors that went into that designation, whether it's liquidity, but a big piece of that is borrowing based coverage. And that lasts as long as the hedges last. And so our challenge with the book is just our view on where commodity prices are, are going to go.
And as the hedges roll off, there's just more exposure to what we think is a pretty uneconomical level of of price to support drilling and more important to support capital. So, the seasonality of the, of, of, oil and gas business will drive some of the charge off decisions, as you would expect, the spring and fall borrowing base redeterminations are a big driver of, you know, kind of a fresh look at, where the loans are relative to the, to the collateral, and that's part of what we saw in the second quarter, was the spring redetermination results kind of flowing through. And then we, at were very proactive in terms of getting out of credits. There were 4 structural over advances in deals in our book. In the second quarter, we sold 2 of them, and moved the other 2 to NPAs.
So I think as it relates to further NPA growth, will be really based more around, borrowing based redetermination periods, the charge offs, will be a function largely, if there are sale opportunities and also around, borrowing phase redetermination.
All right. That's helpful. And I think last quarter, you disclosed $3,000,000,000 exposure and leverage lending, comprised of a number of different industries. Some of your peers experiencing charge offs in the leverage lending portfolio, I just want to see like this portfolio is performing anything, at normal you're seeing on the credit front? Thanks.
It relates to the leverage lending, the portfolio did go up modestly in the second quarter went up by about 5% to 6%. Really due to fallen angel activity, more than anything as it relates to new originations. So as you might recall, we've got a fairly modest leverage, threshold for leverage loans. It's 2.5 times senior as opposed to mostly do three times. So to the extent that, these credits with the 1st quarter results kind of fell into of that criteria, we were designated in fallen angels and moved them in the leverage lending bucket.
We did not have any leverage lending originated charge offs in Q2. We are keeping an eye on them. From a print class standpoint, there were some, downgrades within that book as you might expect, but nothing significant.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Terry McEvoy with Stephens Inc. Please proceed with your question.
Hi, thanks. Good morning.
Hi, Terry.
Hi. I just was wondering if you could discuss the health of the auto dealer portfolio. I know it was an area of focused last quarter. You mentioned earlier on the call that inventory levels are lower, and there was some incremental reserve build here in the second quarter.
Yeah. The auto floor plan business is actually bouncing back in very good shape. We had about a half a 1,000,000 $500,000,000 of deferrals, deferred P and I, in that book. And that is all going to roll off in the third quarter. There's very, the demand notwithstanding the fact that the new car inventories are down June results were very strong across our dealer book.
And so, we expect that book barring any further shutdowns or things like that, too, bounce back pretty quickly. The challenge for that, that sector is just getting inventory. And they don't think that they'll be back to full inventory levels on their lots before the end of the year. So there was not much in the way at all of, reserve bill as it relates to the 4th line book.
And the indirect, do you want
to comment on that, Richard? Sure. The indirect, is performing very well. You can see the deferral piece of that was fairly modest to start with about 8%. I'm sorry, about 3% of the book and coming out of the deferral the payment rates, are very strong.
We've got 92% paying as agreed coming out of the deferral. So we are watching that, like we're watching all of the consumer portfolios, just given the impact of the deferrals on the overall book. But, you know, that is a high FICO book. We, we have a custom scorecard, and that book has performed very well the DFAST exercises and we expect it to continue to perform well.
Thank you. And then just as a follow-up, thanks for, page 8, the bottom right, the volume. Thanks for updating that, that, that exhibit. Just the decline in the last couple of weeks or maybe the last month and volume and transactions, is that just a short term blip, or are you seeing just the increase in number of COVID cases beginning to impact, volume overall?
You're talking about the debit card volume, sorry?
Correct, correct. Bottom right.
Yes, this is Zach. So, we've seen it's like a roughly 2% year over year reduction in the last week versus the prior 10 day I think in the 1st 10 days of July, debit volumes were up about 20% year on year. In the last week, they were up 18.7%. So not even 2%. I guess, as I talked to you about the numbers, the, you know, and I think as we look across industries, we are seeing a little bit of a blip down.
I was studying the numbers this morning and one of the industries where we're seeing the most substantial that should have not surprisingly is in restaurants and bars. So, you know, likely that is to some degree impacted by what we're seeing in terms of, some of the economic reopening, guidance changing and things of that nature, but we're still seeing pretty robust snapping back in year over year growth overall.
Great. Thanks, Zach.
Thank you.
Our next question comes from the line of Brock Vandervliet with UBS. Please proceed with your question.
Oh, thanks. Most of the, high points have been covered. I was wondering if you could just talk about, mortgage And, what your expectations are for the, for the remainder of the year, it's, it seems a bit like COVID is kind of pushed out the spring selling season. Obviously, we've got a a massive change in rates. Can you sustain your performance year longer than you would in a normal year, I guess?
Rob, what we're seeing in the market here is that it's a lack of inventory. We've had very good, very strong, sales. So the construction is not keeping pace with demand. And you're seeing that flow through in terms of, a number of levels of inventory in a number of markets,
I should
say. So we've had a very strong performance on the housing front. And, and we think that will continue as a consequence of the virus. And it's somewhat labor constrained on the build or supply side.
Yep. And the, you know, primary secondary mortgage spreads have been kind of juiced up with all the damage and the fixed income markets, do you see that rapidly coming in, here in the third quarter, or is that more sustainable, which would support, mortgage banking reps?
Yes. This is Zach. I'll just tack on some of Steve's comments and try to address that specific question. Generally, I think the outlook for Q3 is pretty similar to Q2 in terms of volumes and a modest tightening of spread. Was sort of around 15 basis points to 10 to 15 basis points lower spread as that trend continues that we've been seeing for a while.
I think the outlook for Q4 is harder to ascertain at this point just based on the timing of pipelines and things of this nature. Currently, the pipeline for Q2 or for Q3 looks pretty similar to what it did for Q2 that being said, our planning assumption is that the spreads will continue to come down in Q4 and that volumes are typically seasonally a fair amount lower in Q4. We'll also see that downdraft as well. So, I think that the trends you noted are, in fact, happening the velocity with which they happen is still a question mark.
Okay, great. And on the deposit deposit fees, due to some of those waivers, fees were kind of lighter. How quickly can that, come back?
Yes. We're assuming that some of them come back in the third quarter. I think Really, it's going to be a function of how quickly the deposits on the sheet start to get used. I think, you know, this is a phenomenon that we've noted across the entire industry that the deposit gathering activity in the same quarter was just extremely robust. And what we've seen in our own portfolio is around 70% we estimate.
On the consumer side of the government stimulus and to some degree some of the unemployment benefits are being saved in accounts and are not the only ticking down single digit percentage points per month as we go forward. So it's hard to say because that's going to be the key drivers is what happens with overall deposits and therefore sort of overdraft activity. With that being said, we are expecting a modest increase as we go into the third quarter. And then as sort of indicated in our comments, Q4 is harder to ascertain this point.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. We have reached the end of our question and answer session. I'd like to turn the call back over to Steve Steinauer for any closing remarks.
