Risk Management Derivatives

To manage, to varying degrees, risks associated with certain assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, we may enter into derivative contracts. At March 31, 2022, we were party to swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $526 million, TBA agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $7.94 billion, and interest rate futures contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $281 million. At December 31, 2021, we were party to swaps and swaptions with an aggregate notional amount of $2.10 billion, futures with an aggregate notional amount of $72 million and TBA agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $3.31 billion.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, risk management derivatives had a net market valuation gain of $92 million, and a net market valuation gain of $93 million, respectively. Market valuation gains and losses are recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net, Investment fair value changes, net and Other income on our consolidated statements of income.

Loan Purchase and Interest Rate Lock Commitments

LPCs and IRLCs that qualify as derivatives are recorded at their estimated fair values. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, LPCs and IRLCs had a net market valuation loss of $42 million and loss of $52 million, respectively, that were recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

For interest rate agreements previously designated as cash flow hedges, our total unrealized loss reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income was $75 million and $76 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We are amortizing this loss into interest expense over the remaining term of the debt they were originally hedging. As of March 31, 2022, we expect to amortize $4 million of realized losses related to terminated cash flow hedges into interest expense over the next twelve months.

The following table illustrates the impact on interest expense of our interest rate agreements accounted for as cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Derivative Counterparty Credit Risk

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, we consider counterparty risk as part of our fair value assessments of all derivative financial instruments at each quarter-end. At March 31, 2022, we assessed this risk as remote and did not record an associated specific valuation adjustment.

At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with our derivative counterparty ISDA agreements.
