Closed on the novation and transfer of our Department of Education (ED) servicing contract to a third party in October 2021. As of September 30, 2022, we serviced $54 billion in FFELP (federally guaranteed) loans.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS — 3Q22 vs. 3Q21

 

 

Third-quarter 2022 results included a net reduction to pre-tax income of $10 million related to incremental FFELP Loan consolidation activity in connection with the recently announced loan forgiveness plans (i.e., Public Service Loan Forgiveness and Student Debt Relief Plans or the “Loan Forgiveness Plans”).

 

 

Net income was $94 million compared to $122 million.

 

 

Net interest income decreased $31 million primarily due to $27 million of additional loan premium and deferred financing fee amortization as a result of the Loan Forgiveness Plans discussed above, as well as the paydown of the portfolio.

 

 

Provision for loan losses was unchanged at $0, but the current period provision includes a $13 million increase related to an increase in expected losses in anticipation of a deteriorating economy, and a $13 million decrease as a result of the Loan Forgiveness Plans discussed above. The increases in charge-offs and delinquencies detailed below are primarily the result of loans that were experiencing repayment difficulties pre-COVID returning to repayment after pandemic relief.

 

     

Net charge-offs were $12 million compared to $8 million.

 

     

Delinquencies greater than 90 days were $3.8 billion compared to $1.9 billion.

 

     

Forbearances were $7.4 billion compared to $8.0 billion.

 

 

Other revenue decreased $33 million which was primarily a result of the transfer of the ED servicing contract to a third party in October 2021. In the current period, there was $4 million of fee revenue as a result of the Loan Forgiveness Plans discussed above.

 

 

Expenses were $28 million lower primarily as a result of the decrease in other revenue discussed above.

Excluding the $30 million and $16 million of charge-offs on the expected future recoveries of previously fully charged-off loans in third-quarters 2022 and 2021, respectively, that occurred as a result of changing the net charge-off rate on defaulted loans from 81.7% to 81.9% in third-quarter 2022 and from 81.4% to 81.7% in third-quarter 2021.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS — 3Q22 vs. 3Q21

 

 

Originated $447 million of Private Education Loans compared to $1.6 billion.

 

     

Refinance Loan originations were $231 million compared to $1.5 billion.

 

     

In-school loan originations increased 41% to $216 million compared to $153 million.

 

 

Net income was $65 million compared to $73 million.

 

 

Net interest income decreased $10 million primarily due to the increase in the relative proportion of the higher quality, lower yielding Private Education Refinance Loan portfolio compared to the non-refinance loan portfolio.

 

 

Provision for loan losses increased $6 million. The provision for loan losses of $28 million in the current period included $13 million of provision in connection with loan originations and $15 million related to an increase in expected losses in anticipation of a deteriorating economy. The provision in the year-ago quarter primarily related to loan originations. The increases in charge-offs and delinquencies detailed below are primarily the result of loans that were experiencing repayment difficulties pre-COVID returning to repayment after pandemic relief.

 

     

Excluding the $30 million and $16 million, respectively, related to the change in the net charge-off rate on defaulted loans, net charge-offs were $99 million compared with $39 million.

 

     

Private Education Loan delinquencies greater than 90 days: $394 million, up $178 million from $216 million.

 

     

Private Education Loan forbearances: $371 million, down $443 million from $814 million.

 

 

Expenses decreased $2 million primarily due to lower refinance loan originations as a result of the higher interest rate environment and the potential for loan forgiveness.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS — 3Q22 vs. 3Q21

 

 

Net income was $9 million compared to $27 million.

 

 

Revenue decreased $43 million, or 35%, due to the expected $51 million reduction in revenue from the wind-down of pandemic-related contracts, which was partially offset by an $8 million increase in revenue from services for our traditional government and healthcare services clients.

 

 

EBITDA was $13 million, down $25 million, or 66%. The decrease in EBITDA was primarily the result of the revenue decrease discussed above.

This news release contains “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of the federal securities law, about our business and prospects and other information that is based on management’s current expectations as of the date of this release. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the company’s beliefs, opinions or expectations and statements that assume or are dependent upon future events, are forward-looking statements and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “goal,” or “target.” Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. For Navient, these factors include, among others, the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including changes in the macroeconomic environment, restrictions on business, individual or travel activities intended to slow the spread of the pandemic and volatility in market conditions resulting from the pandemic including interest rates, the value of equities and other financial assets; the risks and uncertainties associated with increases in financing costs; the availability of financing or limits on our liquidity resulting from disruptions in the capital markets or other factors; unanticipated increases in costs associated with compliance with federal, state or local laws and regulations; changes in the demand for asset management and business processing solutions or other changes in marketplaces in which we compete (including increased competition); changes in accounting standards including but not limited to changes pertaining to loan loss

The company could also be affected by, among other things: unanticipated repayment trends on education loans including prepayments or deferrals resulting from new interpretations of current laws, rules or regulations or future laws, executive orders or other policy initiatives which operate to encourage or require consolidation, abolish existing or create additional income-based repayment or debt forgiveness programs or establish other policies and programs which may increase the prepayment rates on education loans and accelerate repayment of the bonds in our securitization trusts; reductions to our credit ratings, the credit ratings of asset-backed securitizations we sponsor or the credit ratings of the United States of America; failures of our operating systems or infrastructure or those of third-party vendors; risks related to cybersecurity including the potential disruption of our systems or those of our third-party vendors or customers, or potential disclosure of confidential customer information; damage to our reputation resulting from cyber-breaches or litigation; failure to successfully implement cost-cutting initiatives and adverse effects of such initiatives on our business; failure to adequately integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions including delays or errors in converting portfolio acquisitions to our servicing platform; changes in law and regulations whether new laws or regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations applicable to any of our businesses or activities or those of our vendors, suppliers or customers; changes in the general interest rate environment, including the availability of any relevant money-market index rate, including LIBOR, or the relationship between the relevant money-market index rate and the rate at which our assets are priced; our ability to successfully effectuate any acquisitions and other strategic initiatives; activities by shareholder activists, including a proxy contest or any unsolicited takeover proposal; changes in general economic conditions, including the potential impact of persistent inflation; and the other factors that are described in the “Risk Factors” section of Navient’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of the company’s consolidated financial statements also requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions including estimates and assumptions about future events.

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We present the results of operations below first in accordance with GAAP. Following our discussion of earnings results on a GAAP basis, we present our results on a segment basis. We have four reportable operating segments: Federal Education Loans, Consumer Lending, Business Processing and Other. These segments operate in distinct business environments and we manage and evaluate the financial performance of these segments using non-GAAP financial measures we call Core Earnings (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Core Earnings” for further discussion).

  COMPARISON OF 2022 RESULTS WITH 2021

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net income was $105 million, or $0.75 diluted earnings per common share, compared with net income of $173 million, or $1.04 diluted earnings per common share, for the year-ago period.

The primary contributors to the change in net income are as follows:

 

   

Third-quarter 2022 results included a net reduction to pre-tax income of $10 million related to incremental FFELP Loan consolidation activity in connection with the recently announced loan forgiveness plans (i.e., Public Service Loan Forgiveness and the Student Debt Relief Plans or the “Loan Forgiveness Plans”).

 

   

Net interest income decreased by $94 million as a result of a decline in Floor Income on the FFELP portfolio due to the increase in interest rates, the continued paydown of the FFELP and non-refinance Private Education Loan portfolios, and $27 million of additional loan premium and deferred financing fee amortization as a result of the Loan Forgiveness Plans discussed above. Partially offsetting this decrease was the growth in the Private Education Refinance Loan portfolio as a result of both an increase in the portfolio size as well as an increase in the net interest margin.

 

   

Provisions for loan losses increased $6 million from $22 million to $28 million:

 

     

The provision for FFELP Loan losses remained unchanged at $0.

 

     

The provision for Private Education Loan losses increased $6 million from $22 million to $28 million.

The FFELP Loan provision for loan losses was unchanged at $0, but the current period provision includes a $13 million increase related to an increase in expected losses in anticipation of a deteriorating economy, and a $13 million decrease as a result of the Loan Forgiveness Plans discussed above.

The Private Education Loan provision for loan losses of $28 million in the current period included $13 million of provision in connection with loan originations and $15 million related to an increase in expected losses in anticipation of a deteriorating economy. The provision in the year-ago quarter primarily related to loan originations.

 

   

Servicing revenue decreased $23 million primarily related to the transfer of the ED servicing contract to a third party in October 2021. To aid in the transition, Navient is providing limited services in 2022 to the third party through a transition services agreement.

 

   

Asset recovery and business processing revenue decreased $55 million primarily as a result of a $43 million decrease in revenue earned in our Business Processing segment due to the expected $51 million reduction in revenue from the wind-down of pandemic-related contracts, which was partially offset by an $8 million increase in revenue from services for our traditional government and healthcare services clients.

 

   

Other income in the current period had $4 million of fee revenue as a result of the Loan Forgiveness Plans discussed above.

 

   

Losses on debt repurchases decreased $20 million. We repurchased $757 million of debt at a $20 million loss in the year-ago quarter. There were no debt repurchases in the current period.

 

   

Net gains on derivative and hedging activities increased $45 million. The primary factors affecting the change were interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, which impact the valuations of derivative instruments including Floor Income Contracts, standard swaps (variable to fixed or fixed to variable), basis swaps and foreign currency hedges during each period. Valuations of derivative instruments fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in interest rates, credit risk, foreign currency fluctuations and other market factors. As a result, net gains and losses on derivative and hedging activities may vary significantly in future periods.

 

   

Excluding net regulatory-related expenses of $3 million and $6 million in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, operating expenses were $191 million and $242 million in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. This $51 million decrease was primarily related to the transfer of the ED servicing contract as well as the decline in Business Processing segment revenue.

 

   

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $21 million and $0, respectively, of restructuring/other reorganization expenses, primarily severance-related costs and facility lease terminations.

 

10


We repurchased 6.3 million and 7.0 million shares of our common stock during the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result of repurchases, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 26 million common shares (or 16%) from the year-ago period.    

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income was $540 million, or $3.67 diluted earnings per common share, compared with net income of $728 million, or $4.15 diluted earnings per common share, for the year-ago period.

The primary contributors to the change in net income are as follows:

 

   

Net interest income decreased by $120 million as a result of the continued paydown of the FFELP and non-refinance Private Education Loan portfolios, a decline in Floor Income on the FFELP portfolio due to the increase in interest rates, and $27 million of additional loan premium and deferred financing fee amortization as a result of the Loan Forgiveness Plans previously discussed. Partially offsetting this decrease was the growth in the Private Education Refinance Loan portfolio as a result of both an increase in the portfolio size as well as an increase in the net interest margin.

 

   

Provisions for loan losses increased $128 million from $(66) million to $62 million:

 

     

The provision for FFELP Loan losses remained unchanged at $0.

 

     

The provision for Private Education Loan losses increased $128 million from $(66) million to $62 million.

The FFELP Loan provision for loan losses was unchanged at $0, but the current period provision includes a $13 million increase related to an increase in expected losses in anticipation of a deteriorating economy, and a $13 million decrease as a result of the Loan Forgiveness Plans discussed above.

The Private Education Loan provision for loan losses of $62 million in the current period included $31 million of provision in connection with loan originations and $31 million related to an increase in expected losses in anticipation of a deteriorating economy. The negative provision of $(66) million in the year-ago period was primarily related to the reversal of both $107 million of allowance for loan losses in connection with the sale of approximately $1.6 billion of Private Education Loans discussed below and $8 million related to a decrease in expected losses for the overall portfolio, partially offset by $49 million of provision primarily related to loan originations.

 

   

Servicing revenue decreased $89 million primarily related to the transfer of the ED servicing contract to a third party in October 2021. To aid in the transition, Navient is providing limited services in 2022 to the third party through a transition services agreement (see discussion below related to “Other income”).

 

   

Asset recovery and business processing revenue decreased $152 million primarily as a result of a $117 million decrease in revenue earned in our Business Processing segment due to the expected $127 million reduction in revenue from the wind-down of pandemic-related contracts, which was partially offset by an $10 million increase in revenue from services for our traditional government and healthcare services clients.

 

   

Other income increased $13 million primarily related to the transition services being performed in connection with the transfer of the ED servicing contract to a third party, as discussed above.

 

   

Gains on sales of loans decreased $78 million in connection with the sale of approximately $1.6 billion of Private Education Loans in first-quarter 2021. There was a $13 million gain related to derivatives that were used to hedge this transaction that did not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, this gain related to the derivatives was included as a part of “gains (losses) on derivative and hedging activities, net” on the income statement. There were no such sales in the current period.

 

   

Losses on debt repurchases decreased $32 million. We repurchased $1.5 billion of debt at a $32 million loss in the year-ago period. There were no debt repurchases in the current period.

 

   

Net gains on derivative and hedging activities increased $140 million. The primary factors affecting the change were interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, which impact the valuations of derivative instruments including Floor Income Contracts, standard swaps (variable to fixed or fixed to variable), basis swaps and foreign currency hedges during each period. Valuations of derivative instruments fluctuate based upon many factors including changes in interest rates, credit risk, foreign currency fluctuations and other market factors. As a result, net gains and losses on derivative and hedging activities may vary significantly in future periods.

 

   

Excluding net regulatory-related expenses of $5 million and $22 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, operating expenses were $583 million and $736 million in the nine months ended

September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This $153 million decrease was primarily related to the transfer of the ED servicing contract as well as the decline in Business Processing segment revenue.

 

   

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $25 million and $8 million, respectively, of restructuring/other reorganization expense, primarily severance-related costs and facility lease terminations.

We repurchased 19.4 million and 26.9 million shares of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result of repurchases, our average outstanding diluted shares decreased by 29 million common shares (or 16%) from the year-ago period.

(1)

Charge-offs are reported net of expected recoveries. For Private Education Loans, we charge off the estimated loss of a defaulted loan balance by charging off the entire defaulted loan balance and estimating recoveries on a pool basis. These estimated recoveries are referred to as “expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans.” For FFELP Loans, the recovery is received at the time of charge-off.

 

(2)

In third-quarters 2022 and 2021, the net charge-off rate on defaulted Private Education Loans increased from 81.7% to 81.9% and from 81.4% to 81.7%, respectively. These changes resulted in a $30 million and $16 million reduction in the balance of expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans in third-quarters 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

(3)

At the end of each month, for Private Education Loans that are 212 or more days past due, we charge off the estimated loss of a defaulted loan balance by charging off the entire loan balance and estimating recoveries on a pool basis. These estimated recoveries are referred to as “expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans.” If actual periodic recoveries are less than expected, the difference is immediately reflected as a reduction to expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans. If actual periodic recoveries are greater than expected, they will be reflected as a recovery through the allowance for Private Education Loan losses once the cumulative recovery amount exceeds the cumulative amount originally expected to be recovered. The following table summarizes the activity in the expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans:

  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We expect to fund our ongoing liquidity needs, including the repayment of $1.3 billion of senior unsecured notes that mature in the short term (i.e., over the next 12 months) and the remaining $5.7 billion of senior unsecured notes that mature in the long term (from 2023 to 2043 with 80% maturing by 2029), through a number of sources. These sources include our cash on hand, unencumbered FFELP Loan and Private Education Refinance Loan portfolios (see “Sources of Primary Liquidity” below), the predictable operating cash flows provided by operating activities, the repayment of principal on unencumbered education loan assets, and the distribution of overcollateralization from our securitization trusts. We may also, depending on market conditions and availability, draw down on our secured FFELP Loan and Private Education Loan facilities, issue term ABS, enter into additional Private Education Loan ABS repurchase facilities, or issue additional unsecured debt.

We originate Private Education Loans (a portion of which are done through a forward purchase agreement). We also have purchased and may purchase, in future periods, Private Education Loan and FFELP Loan portfolios from third parties. Loan originations and purchases are part of our ongoing liquidity needs. We repurchased 6.3 million shares of common stock for $95 million in the third quarter of 2022 and have $685 million of unused share repurchase authority as of September 30, 2022.

Sources of Additional Liquidity

Liquidity may also be available under our secured credit facilities. Maximum borrowing capacity under the FFELP Loan and Private Education Loan asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) facilities will vary and be subject to each agreement’s borrowing conditions, including, among others, facility size, current usage and availability of qualifying collateral from unencumbered loans. The following tables detail the additional borrowing capacity of these facilities with maturity dates ranging from October 2022 to April 2024.

At September 30, 2022, we had a total of $4.3 billion of unencumbered tangible assets inclusive of those listed in the table above as sources of primary liquidity. Total unencumbered education loans comprised $2.0 billion of our unencumbered tangible assets of which $1.8 billion and $151 million related to Private Education Loans and FFELP Loans, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2022, we had $5.1 billion of encumbered net assets (i.e., overcollateralization) in our various financing facilities (consolidated variable interest entities). Our secured financing facilities include Private Education Loan ABS Repurchase Facilities, which had $0.8 billion outstanding as of September 30, 2022. These repurchase facilities are collateralized by the net assets in previously issued Private Education Loan ABS trusts and have had a cost of funds lower than that of a new unsecured debt issuance.

The following table reconciles encumbered and unencumbered assets and their net impact on total Tangible Equity.

At September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, there were $(305) million, $(112) million and $406 million, respectively, of net gains (losses) on derivatives hedging this debt in unencumbered assets, which partially offset these gains (losses).

  NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to financial results reported on a GAAP basis, Navient also provides certain performance measures which are non-GAAP financial measures. We present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) Core Earnings (as well as Adjusted Core Earnings), (2) Tangible Equity (as well as the Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio and Pro Forma Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio), (3) EBITDA for the Business Processing segment, and (4) Allowance for Loan Losses Excluding Expected Future Recoveries on Previously Fully Charged-off Loans.

1. Core Earnings

We prepare financial statements and present financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, we also evaluate our business segments and present financial results on a basis that differs from GAAP. We refer to this different basis of presentation as Core Earnings. We provide this Core Earnings basis of presentation on a consolidated basis and for each business segment because this is what we review internally when making management decisions regarding our performance and how we allocate resources. We also refer to this information in our presentations with credit rating agencies, lenders and investors. Because our Core Earnings basis of presentation corresponds to our segment financial presentations, we are required by GAAP to provide certain Core Earnings disclosures in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for our business segments.

Core Earnings are not a substitute for reported results under GAAP. We use Core Earnings to manage our business segments because Core Earnings reflect adjustments to GAAP financial results for two items, discussed below, that can create significant volatility mostly due to timing factors generally beyond the control of management. Accordingly, we believe that Core Earnings provide management with a useful basis from which to better evaluate results from ongoing operations against the business plan or against results from prior periods. Consequently, we disclose this information because we believe it provides investors with additional information regarding the operational and performance indicators that are most closely assessed by management. When compared to GAAP results, the two items we remove to result in our Core Earnings presentations are:

 

  (1)

Mark-to-market gains/losses resulting from our use of derivative instruments to hedge our economic risks that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or do qualify for hedge accounting treatment but result in ineffectiveness; and

 

  (2)

The accounting for goodwill and acquired intangible assets.

While GAAP provides a uniform, comprehensive basis of accounting, for the reasons described above, our Core Earnings basis of presentation does not. Core Earnings are subject to certain general and specific limitations that investors should carefully consider. For example, there is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for management reporting. Our Core Earnings are not defined terms within GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Accordingly, our Core Earnings presentation does not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Investors, therefore, may not be able to compare our performance with that of other financial services companies based upon Core Earnings. Core Earnings results are only meant to supplement GAAP results by providing additional information regarding the operational and performance indicators that are most closely used by management, our board of directors, credit rating agencies, lenders and investors to assess performance.

The following tables show Core Earnings for each reportable segment and our business as a whole along with the adjustments made to the income/expense items to reconcile the amounts to our reported GAAP results as required by GAAP.

Derivative Accounting: Core Earnings exclude periodic gains and losses that are caused by the mark-to-market valuations on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under GAAP, as well as the periodic mark-to-market gains and losses that are a result of ineffectiveness recognized related to effective hedges under GAAP. Under GAAP, for our derivatives that are held to maturity, the mark-to-market gain or loss over the life of the contract will equal $0 except for Floor Income Contracts, where the mark-to-market gain will equal the amount for which we originally sold the contract. In our Core Earnings presentation, we recognize the economic effect of these hedges, which generally results in any net settlement cash paid or received being recognized ratably as an interest expense or revenue over the hedged item’s life.

Derivative accounting requires net settlement income/expense on derivatives that do not qualify as hedges to be recorded in a separate income statement line item below net interest income. Under our Core Earnings presentation, these settlements are reclassified to the income statement line item of the economically hedged item. For our Core Earnings net interest income, this would primarily include: (a) reclassifying the net settlement amounts related to our Floor Income Contracts to education loan interest income; and (b) reclassifying the net settlement amounts related to certain of our interest rate swaps to debt interest expense. The table below summarizes these net settlements on derivative and hedging activities and the associated reclassification on a Core Earnings basis.

Cumulative Impact of Derivative Accounting under GAAP compared to Core Earnings

As of September 30, 2022, derivative accounting has increased GAAP equity by approximately $118 million as a result of cumulative net mark-to-market gains (after tax) recognized under GAAP, but not under Core Earnings. The following table rolls forward the cumulative impact to GAAP equity due to these after-tax mark-to-market net gains related to derivative accounting.

Hedging Embedded Floor Income

We use Floor Income Contracts, pay-fixed swaps and fixed rate debt to economically hedge embedded floor income in our FFELP loans. Historically, we have used these instruments on a periodic basis and depending upon market conditions and pricing, we may enter into additional hedges in the future. Under GAAP, the Floor Income Contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and the pay-fixed swaps are accounted for as cashflow hedges. The table below shows the amount of Hedged Floor Income that will be recognized in Core Earnings in future periods based on these hedge strategies.

Management excludes these expenses as Adjusted Core Earnings is one of the measures we review internally when making management decisions regarding our performance and how we allocate resources, as this presentation is a useful basis for management and investors to further analyze Core Earnings. We also refer to this information in our presentations with credit rating agencies, lenders and investors.

2. Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio

Adjusted Tangible Equity measures the ratio of Navient’s Tangible Equity to its tangible assets. We adjust this ratio to exclude the assets and equity associated with our FFELP Loan portfolio because FFELP Loans are no longer originated and the FFELP portfolio bears a 3% maximum loss exposure under the terms of the federal guaranty. Management believes that excluding this portfolio from the ratio enhances its usefulness to investors. Management uses this ratio, in addition to other metrics, for analysis and decision making related to capital allocation decisions. The Adjusted Tangible Equity Ratio is calculated as:

4. Allowance for Loan Losses Excluding Expected Future Recoveries on Previously Fully Charged-off Loans

The allowance for loan losses on the Private Education Loan portfolio used for the three credit metrics below excludes the expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans to better reflect the current expected credit losses remaining in connection with the loans on balance sheet that have not charged off. That is, as of September 30, 2022, the $1,132 million Private Education Loan allowance for loan losses excluding expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans represents the current expected credit losses that remain in connection with the $20,003 million Private Education Loan portfolio. The $280 million of expected future recoveries on previously fully charged-off loans, which is collected over an average 15-year period, mechanically is a reduction to the overall allowance for loan losses. However, it is not related to the $20,003 million Private Education Loan portfolio on our balance sheet and, as a result, management excludes this impact to the allowance to better evaluate and assess our overall credit loss coverage on the Private Education Loan portfolio. We believe this provides a more meaningful and holistic view of the available credit loss coverage on our non-charged-off Private Education Loan portfolio. We believe this information is useful to our investors, lenders and rating agencies.
