What it is

One row for each of the 30 PPPLF borrowers with the largest peak balance. Each row holds the peak and its report date, the call-report quarter-end on or before that date, the bank's total equity capital on that call report, and peak divided by equity. The 11 rows without a call report are the nonbank lenders, Harvest Small Business Finance's $11.52 billion peak among them; they have no equity figure here and no ratio.

The ratio passes 10 for 6 banks: First Bank of the Lake 33.70, Cross River 22.71, Quontic 17.10, WebBank 12.33, First Home 11.14 and Celtic 10.90. Quontic Bank's $51.16 million of equity on September 30, 2020 stood behind an $874.69 million peak the next month. The large banks on the list sit below one: Customers 4.19, MidFirst 0.47, Citibank 0.02.

Equity is the whole bank's, not the PPP desk's, and it is the figure on one quarter's report. Northeast Bank's peak fell on February 28, 2021, so its equity is from the December 31, 2020 call report, the last quarter-end before it; the ratio is 8.56.

How it was built

Peak balance and date come from the combined PPPLF table, one row per RSSD, the 30 largest peaks taken. For each, the quarter-end on or before the peak date was looked up in the FFIEC bulk call-report file for that quarter, Schedule RC, by IDRSSD. Total bank equity capital is item RCFD3210 for banks filing the FFIEC 031 and RCON3210 for the 041, reported in thousands and printed here in dollars. A borrower with no Schedule RC row in that file has no call report and is left blank.

Ratio = peak balance divided by equity, two decimals. Rows are sorted by peak balance, largest first.

How to use it

Specific to this file, measured on it: keys, joins, encodings, units, and the values that will trip a naive count.

  • Blank is nonbank, not zero. The 11 rows without equity are lenders that file no call report; sort them out before averaging the ratio.
  • A comparison, not a capital measure. Peak Fed funding over total equity says how large the facility was beside the bank. Regulatory capital ratios are a different measure, and the PPP loans pledged carried an SBA guarantee.
  • Sorted by peak balance, largest first. Sort on peak_ppplf_over_equity for the leverage view.
  • LF line endings, UTF-8, 2,739 bytes.

Before you quote a row

  • One quarter's equity. A bank that raised capital after its peak quarter shows the smaller, earlier figure; a bank whose peak fell mid-quarter is measured against the quarter-end before it.
  • Thirty by peak. The cut is the 30 largest peak balances; a bank with a smaller peak and a higher ratio is not on the list.
  • Nonbank lenders. Harvest, The Loan Source, Prestamos, Capital Plus, Itria, Fountainhead, Benworth, ReadyCap, Kabbage, Square Capital and Amur hold 11 rows with no equity figure; what stood behind their Fed balances is not in a call report.
