Where allowance coverage of nonperforming loans is thinning

Institutions whose loss allowance is small relative to the nonperforming-loan balance they are carrying. Low coverage means future write-downs will erode capital directly rather than being absorbed by the allowance buffer.

Q4 202550 institutions
50 institutions reported loan-loss reserve coverage below 0.0% in Q4 2025, indicating minimal reserves against delinquent loans. FORMATION in LA, TRUITY in OK, and TRANSPORTATION in VA led this group with the lowest coverage ratios.

Methodology

Allowance coverage of nonperforming loans is the ratio of an institution's loss allowance (Allowance for Credit Losses / ALLL) to its nonperforming-loan balance. A coverage ratio below 100% means the existing reserve cannot fully absorb the currently-identified problem loans — further deterioration will flow directly through earnings and capital. This card ranks institutions across both banks and credit unions in ascending order of allowance_coverage_of_nonperforming, surfacing the top 50 whose coverage ratio is at or below 50% (the 0.5 threshold, thresholds.maxCoverage = 0.5) and whose nonperforming-loan balance meets or exceeds the $1,000,000 nonperforming-volume floor (1000000, thresholds.minNplVolume) to filter out trivial portfolios where small-dollar denominators produce noisy ratios. For banks (FDIC-insured): allowance — FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-R Part II item 6, Allowance for credit losses (RCFD3123 / RCON3123); nonperforming volume — Schedule RC-N line 9, 90+ days past due col B (RCFD1407 / RCON1407) plus nonaccrual col C (RCFD1403 / RCON1403). For credit unions: allowance for loan losses — NCUA ACCT_719; 60+ days delinquent — NCUA ACCT_041B. Cross-type comparability: bank "non-current" (90+ past due or nonaccrual) and CU "60+ delinquent" are LCD approximations, not equivalents. Methodology updated 2026-03-31: bank nonperforming-volume denominator now sources directly from FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-N. Prior quarters used a BankFind ratio-derived approximation.
