Composite risk score

An exploratory screening score that ranks relative failure risk across filers. It is not a calibrated probability, not a credit rating, and not a CAMELS rating.

Held-out test AUC 0.910 for the 1-year horizon (v20261026_025757). Trained on credit-driven community-bank failures, it carries little signal for interest-rate or deposit-flight risk. The score covers every FDIC-insured bank in the latest run, but the model was trained on community and regional banks and its accuracy above roughly $10 billion in assets is not established, so a low score is not evidence of safety.

How we score this

Capital categories follow Prompt Corrective Action (12 CFR 324.403): well capitalized at a CET1 ratio of 6.5%, Tier 1 risk-based 8%, total risk-based 10% and Tier 1 leverage 5%; adequately capitalized at 4.5%, 6%, 8% and 4%. A community bank may elect the community bank leverage ratio instead.

CET1 Ratio: Common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital, mostly common stock and retained earnings, divided by risk-weighted assets. Pass ≥ 7.0% (well-capitalized plus buffer), fail < 4.5% (below minimum).

Tier 1 Leverage Ratio: Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets, with no risk weighting. Pass ≥ 5.0% (well-capitalized), fail < 4.0% (below minimum).

Nonperforming Loans (NPL) Ratio: Nonaccrual loans plus loans 90 or more days past due, divided by total loans. Pass < 1.5%, fail > 3.0%.

Texas Ratio: Problem assets (nonaccrual loans, loans 90+ days past due and still accruing, and OREO, net of U.S. government-guaranteed portions) divided by tangible equity plus the allowance for credit losses. Pass < 50%, fail > 100% (historical failure threshold).

Efficiency Ratio: Noninterest expense divided by revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income). Pass ≤ 75% (lower is better), fail ≥ 90%.

Risk screens, beyond those bands: Uninsured deposit share watch at 50%, concern at 70%; Loan-to-deposit ratio flags at 100% or above; Commercial real estate to capital watch at 200%, concern at 300%; Held-to-maturity unrealized loss to equity watch at 10%, concern at 25%; NPL, Texas ratio and efficiency bands are ours.
