What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1The parent company depends on its bank subsidiary, Citizens Bank, National Association, for substantially all of its revenue; regulatory limits on distributions from the bank could affect the parent company’s cash.
2Funding depends heavily on customer deposits and access to other sources of liquidity; competition for deposits and changing interest rates can affect funding costs.
3Income from lending depends on households and businesses repaying their loans, including commercial real estate and other business loans.
4Banking operations rely on information systems and outside technology providers to process transactions and serve customers.

What could go wrong

1Interest-rate changes and competition for deposits can raise funding costs, reduce income from lending and investing, or make it harder to access liquidity.
2If households or businesses cannot repay loans, losses can rise; commercial real estate lending, including loans on office properties, is one source of exposure.
3A cyberattack, system failure or outage at an outside technology provider could interrupt banking services, expose customer information and bring financial or regulatory consequences.
