English Translation of Excerpts from Securities Report Filed in Japan

This document is an English translation of selected information included in the Securities Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 filed by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (“MUFG” or “we”) with the Kanto Local Financial Bureau, the Ministry of Finance of Japan, on June 29, 2020 (the “Securities Report”). An English translation of certain information included in the Securities Report was previously submitted in a report on Form 6-K dated May 15, 2020. Accordingly, this document should be read together with the previously submitted report.

The Securities Report has been prepared and filed in Japan in accordance with applicable Japanese disclosure requirements as well as generally accepted accounting principles in Japan (“J-GAAP”). There are significant differences between J-GAAP and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In addition, the Securities Report is intended to update prior disclosures filed by MUFG in Japan and discusses selected recent developments in the context of those prior disclosures. Accordingly, the Securities Report may not contain all of the information that is important to you. For a more complete discussion of the background to information provided in the Securities Report disclosure, please see our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and other reports filed with or submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by MUFG.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We determine the significance of various risk scenarios based on their impact and probability and identify potential risk events that are deemed to require close monitoring and attention for the next one-year period as top risks. The main top risks identified by our Risk Committee in March 2020 are as follows. By identifying these top risks, we seek to implement necessary risk management measures designed to minimize such risks to the extent possible and manage them in such a manner that they can be agilely dealt with in the event that they materialize. In addition, through management’s participation in discussions on such top risks, we strive to take effective measures based on a shared assessment of risks.

Main Top Risks

 

Risk events    Risk scenarios

A decline in profitability

(including a decline in net interest income)

  

•  Our overall profitability may be adversely affected by, among other things, a decline in our net interest income due to further reductions in interest rates as a result of changes in the monetary policies of central banks in various jurisdictions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and deterioration in global economic conditions.

Foreign currency liquidity risk   

•  Deterioration in market conditions may result in a depletion of foreign currency funding liquidity and an increase in our foreign currency funding costs.

An increase in credit costs   

•  Sudden deterioration in global economic activities may result in an increase in our credit costs.

•  Deterioration in the credit quality of particular industries or counterparties, to which we have relatively larger exposures, may result in an increase in our credit costs.

IT risk   

•  Cyber-attacks may result in customer information leakage, suspension of our services, and reputational damage.

•  System problems may result in our payment of financial compensation and damage to our reputation.

Risks relating to money laundering, economic sanctions, bribery and corruption   

•  If we are deemed not complaint with applicable regulations relating to money laundering, economic sanctions, bribery and corruption, we may become subject to issuance of business suspension orders, fines and reputational damage.

Market conduct risk   

•  If our operations are deemed to be insufficient in addressing regulatory or public concerns, to constitute unfair or inappropriate business practices, or to fail to meet market or industry rules or standards, customer protection requirements or corporate behavior expectations, we may become subject to administrative business suspension orders and fines as well as reputational damage.

Risks relating to external circumstances or events (such as health pandemics, earthquakes, floods, terrorism and other political and social conflicts)   

•  Health pandemics, natural disasters, conflicts and terrorist attacks may result in disruption to all or part of our operations or an increase in costs and expenses in addressing such circumstances or events.

Risks relating to climate changes   

•  If our efforts to address climate change-related risks or to make appropriate disclosure are deemed insufficient, our corporate value may be impaired.

•  Our credit portfolio may be adversely affected by the negative impact of climate change on our borrowers and transaction counterparties.

Based on our analysis of the top risks described above, we have described below major matters relating to risks to our business and other risks that we believe may have a material impact on your investment decision. In addition, to proactively disclose information to investors, we have described matters that do not necessarily correspond to such risk factors, but that we believe are material to you in making an investment decision. We will, with the understanding that these risks may occur, endeavor to avoid the occurrence of such risks and to address such risks if they occur.

This section contains forward-looking statements, which, unless specifically stated otherwise, reflect our understanding as of the date of filing of this annual securities report.

Risks Related to Our Business Environment

 

1.

Risks relating to deterioration in economic conditions in Japan and globally

Economic conditions in Japan and around the world may deteriorate significantly due to various factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and measures being implemented in response to the pandemic, including restrictions on travel, store operations and other economic activities, in Japan and other countries and regions as well as crude oil prices declining or remaining at low levels. Uncertainty over the Japanese and global economies still remain not only because of the unpredictability of the timing of containment of COVID-19 but also because of such other factors as concerns over political developments in the United States, the possible negative impact on international trade resulting from shifts in the trade policies of various countries and regions, concerns relating to the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, and the slowing economic growth in China and the economic stagnation in emerging countries and commodity-exporting countries, as well as the political turmoil in various regions around the world. In addition, external events, such as earthquakes, typhoons, floods and other natural disasters, terrorism and other political and social conflicts, abduction, and health pandemics or epidemics, may cause deterioration in economic conditions and market instability in affected areas.

Worsening economic conditions in Japan and around the world may result in, among other things, impairment or valuation losses on securities and other assets that we hold due to declines in the market value of such assets, an increase in our non-performing loans and credit costs due to deterioration in borrowers’ business performance, a decrease in our profits due to deterioration in the creditworthiness of counterparties in market transactions, a reduction in foreign currency funding liquidity, an increase in our foreign currency funding costs, and an increase in the level of risk in the risk assets that we hold. Our profitability may be adversely affected by various other factors, including a decline in our net interest income caused by such factors as changes in the monetary policies of central banks in various jurisdictions. In addition, an economic downturn may result in a decline in new investments and business transactions by customers due to stagnation in economic activity, weak consumer spending, diminished investor appetite for making investments in uncertain financial markets, and a decrease in our assets under custody or management.

In the event of a financial market turmoil or depression resulting from significant volatility in bond and stock markets or foreign currency exchange rates, or a global financial crisis, the market value of financial instruments that we hold may significantly decline, properly quoted market prices of such instruments may become unavailable for valuation purposes, or financial markets may become dysfunctional. As a result, we may incur impairment or valuation losses on financial instruments in our portfolio.

Any of the foregoing factors may materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

2.

Risks relating to external circumstances or events (such as conflicts, terrorist attacks and natural disasters)

As a major financial institution incorporated in Japan and operating in major international financial markets, our business operations, ATMs and other information technology systems, personnel, and facilities and other physical assets are subject to the risks of earthquakes, typhoons, floods and other natural disasters, terrorism and other political and social conflicts, abduction, health pandemics or epidemics, and other disruptions caused by external events, which are beyond our control. Such external events may result in loss of facility and human and other resources, suspension or delay in all or part of our operations, inability to implement business strategic measures or respond to changes in the market or regulatory environment as planned, and other disruptions to our operations. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs and expenses, including those incurred for preventive or remedial measures, to deal with the consequences of such external events. As a result, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has required us to temporarily close some of our business locations, resulted in reduction in our and our vendors’ operational capacity due to restrictions on mobility, and had other negative impact on us. Although we have taken various measures, including establishing a Group Crisis Event Control Headquarter headed by our Group CEO and implementing remote work and off-peak commute policies and programs, designed to ensure the safety of our employees and vendors as well as the continuity of our operations, if a large number or concentrated groups of employees of us and our vendors become infected of the virus or if the pandemic continues to expand or is not sufficiently controlled, we may be further adversely affected.

As with other Japanese companies, we are exposed to heightened risks of large-scale natural disasters, particularly earthquakes. In particular, a large-scale earthquake occurring in the Tokyo metropolitan area and other areas where we have our important business functions may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our risk management policies and procedures may be insufficient to address the consequences of these external events, resulting in our inability to continue to operate a part or the whole of our business. In addition, our redundancy and backup measures may not be sufficient to avoid a material disruption in our operations, and our contingency and business continuity plans may not address all eventualities that may occur in the event of a material disruption caused by a large-scale natural disaster such as the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, which led to tsunamis, soil liquefaction and fires, as well as electricity power supply shortages and electricity power conservation measures.

3.

Risks relating to reforms of London Interbank Offered Rate and other interest rate benchmarks

We have various transactions, including derivatives, loans, bonds, and securitized products, that reference London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. In July 2014, the Financial Stability Board proposed reforms of interest rate benchmarks and development of a risk-free rate as an alternative interest rate benchmark. In July 2017, the Chief Executive of the Financial Conduct Authority, or FCA, of the United Kingdom, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it would not compel panel banks to quote rates in order to continue publishing LIBOR beyond the end of calendar 2021 and, as a result, there are considerable uncertainties regarding the publication of LIBOR after calendar 2021.

In anticipation of the discontinuation of the publication of LIBOR at the end of calendar 2021, we are taking measures to deal with the reform of LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks and the transition to an alternative interest rate. However, such transition is complex and uncertain in many respects and may have various adverse impacts on our business, financial position and operating results. In particular, such transition may, among other things,

 

   

adversely affect the price, liquidity, profitability, and tradability of a wide range of financial instruments, such as loans and derivatives, included in our financial assets and liabilities that reference LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks;

 

   

require negotiations with our counterparties to modify contracts to replace the reference rate for existing contracts based on or linked to LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks with an alternative interest rate;

 

   

result in disputes with customers and counterparties concerning the interpretation of affected contracts or economic adjustments to the alternative interest rate adopted in connection with the reform of LIBOR and other interest rates and the transition to alternative interest rates, or disputes concerning inappropriate trade practices or abuse of a dominant bargaining position in transactions with customers;

 

   

require us to respond to regulatory authorities in connection with the reform of LIBOR and other interest rates and the transition to an alternative interest rate; and

 

   

require us to develop risk management and other operational systems and processes necessary to effectively deal with the reform of LIBOR and other interest rates and the transition to an alternative interest rate, which may prove challenging or impossible, or incur significant system investment and other costs in connection with such reform and transition.

 

4.

Risks relating to climate change

Physical damage caused by extreme weather conditions and natural disasters resulting from climate change, as well as governments’ measures to strengthen climate-related regulations and the transition to a low-carbon society, may adversely affect the business and financial condition of us and our clients, including our credit portfolio.

We recognize the importance of appropriately understanding, evaluating and disclosing climate change-related risks, and we intend to support the recommendations of the Climate Financial Disclosure Task Force, or TCFD, which has been established by the Financial Stability Board. To be in line with the TCFD, we intend to make a continued effort to improve our understanding and evaluation of the relevant risks and to enhance our related disclosure. However, if our effort to address climate change-related risks or to make appropriate disclosure proves or is deemed insufficient and, as a result, we are considered to fail to fulfill our responsibility to society, our corporate value may be impaired and our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

–5–


Risks Related to Our Strategies

 

5.

Risks relating to competitive pressures and failure to achieve business plans or operating targets

Competition in the financial services industry may further intensify due to the increase in the number of non-financial institutions entering the financial services industry with alternative services such as electronic settlement services as a result of development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, or AI, and blockchain as well as significant changes in regulatory barriers.

We have been implementing various business strategies on a global basis designed to strengthen our competitive position and profitability. However, competition may further increase as other global financial institutions enhance their competitive strength through mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances, and profit improvement and other measures.

Under such circumstances, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected if our strategies fail to produce the results we expect or if we are required to delay or otherwise change our strategies and our competitiveness declines because of various factors, including:

 

   

the volume of loans made to borrowers does not increase as anticipated;

 

   

our income from interest spreads on the existing loans does not improve as anticipated;

 

   

our loan interest spread further narrows as a result of the “quantitative and qualitative monetary easing with yield curve control” program being maintained in Japan for an extended period or the negative interest rate being lowered from the current level;

 

   

our fee income does not increase as much or quickly as planned;

 

   

our strategy to build a business infrastructure for new services and products through digitalization or otherwise does not proceed as planned;

 

   

clients and business opportunities are lost, costs and expenses significantly exceed our expectations, or our strategies to improve financial and operational efficiency or system integration plans are not achieved as expected, because of delays in the ongoing or planned intra-group integration, reorganization or streamlining of our operations;

 

   

we are unable to hire or retain necessary human resources;

 

   

our foreign currency funding becomes limited or unavailable; and

 

   

we are restricted in agility or flexibility in investing in non-financial institutions under applicable laws and regulations in and outside of Japan.

 

–6–


6.

Risks accompanying the expansion of our operations and the range of products and services

As we expand our business operations, we may become exposed to new and increasingly complex risks. We may not be able to establish appropriate internal controls or risk management systems or to hire or retain necessary human resources to effectively deal with compliance, regulatory and other risks entailing the expanded scope of our operations, products and services in all cases and, as a consequence, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

As a strategic measure implemented in an effort to become the world’s most trusted financial group, we acquire businesses, make investments and enter into capital alliances globally. We may continue to pursue opportunities to acquire businesses, make investments and enter into capital alliances. However, our acquisition, investments and capital alliances may not proceed as planned or may be changed or dissolved, we may not achieve the synergies or other results that we expected, or we may incur impairment or valuation losses on securities acquired or intangible assets, including goodwill, recorded in connection with such business acquisitions, investments or business alliances, because of changes in the strategies or financial condition of our acquirees, investees or alliance partners that are inconsistent with our interests, unanticipated changes in the industry or business environment affecting our acquirees, investees or alliance partners, stagnation of the economy, changes in the laws, regulations or accounting standards applicable to our acquirees, investees or alliance partners, or inability to obtain regulatory approvals. These and other similar circumstances may adversely affect our business strategies, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unable to achieve the benefits expected from our efforts to expand business operations if our expansion strategy does not proceed as planned.

Risks Related to Our Major Investees

 

7.

Risks relating to our strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley

We hold shares of common stock (representing 22.4% of the voting rights immediately following the conversion of convertible preferred stock in June 2011 and 23.9% as of March 31, 2020) in Morgan Stanley and continue to hold certain non-convertible (non-voting) preferred stock previously issued to us by Morgan Stanley. In addition, we have entered into a strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley to, among other things, jointly manage a securities business joint venture in Japan and to cooperate with each other in the corporate finance business in the United States.

We intend to further strengthen the alliance. However, if the social, economic or financial environment changes, or if our collaboration of personnel, products and services or the formation and implementation of the joint venture’s management, controls or business strategies are not realized as planned, we may not be able to achieve the synergy and other results that we expected from the strategic alliance.

 

–7–


If our strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley is terminated, it may adversely affect our business strategies, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we are a non-controlling shareholder, and we cannot control Morgan Stanley’s business, nor can we make decisions with respect to Morgan Stanley. If Morgan Stanley makes independent decisions that are not consistent with our interests, we may not be able to achieve the goals initially expected from our strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley. In addition, because of our large investment in Morgan Stanley, if Morgan Stanley’s financial condition or results of operations deteriorate, we may incur substantial investment losses.

We hold 23.9% of the voting rights in Morgan Stanley as of March 31, 2020 and appoint two representatives to Morgan Stanley’s board of directors. Accordingly, Morgan Stanley is our affiliated company accounted for under the equity method. As a result, Morgan Stanley’s results of operations or changes in our ownership interest in Morgan Stanley will have an impact on our results of operations as the amount of Morgan Stanley’s income or loss in proportion to our shareholding ratio is recognized as income or loss from investments in affiliates in our statements of income, and changes in our ownership interest in Morgan Stanley resulting from changes in our shareholder ratio in Morgan Stanley caused by increases or decreases in Morgan Stanley’s outstanding shares will be recognized as gains or losses in our statements of income.

 

8.

Risks relating to Our Major Overseas Subsidiaries

Our major overseas subsidiaries include MUFG Americas Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary in the United States, Krungsri, an indirect subsidiary in Thailand, and Bank Danamon, an indirect subsidiary in Indonesia. These subsidiaries engage in retail and commercial banking primarily in their respective local markets. Adverse changes in the business and financial performance of any of these subsidiaries may significantly affect our financial condition and results of operations. Factors that can negatively impact these subsidiaries include deterioration in the local economy or economic prospects or the credit quality of their loan portfolio, fluctuations in the stock, interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodities or real estate market, political or social instability, changes in the regulatory or competitive environment, natural disasters, pandemics or epidemics of infectious or contagious diseases, geopolitical conflicts, losses from legal proceedings, as well as the business performance of companies investing in or entering into the local market and the condition of economies, financial systems, laws and financial markets in the markets where such companies primarily operate. Costs incurred due to weaknesses in the internal controls or the regulatory compliance systems of the subsidiaries may also adversely affect their business and financial performance. For a discussion on impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill, see “6. Risks accompanying the expansion of our operations and the range of products and services.”

Risks Related to Our Ability to Meet Regulatory Capital Requirements

 

9.

Risks relating to regulatory capital ratio and other related requirements

 

(1)

Capital ratio and other regulatory ratio requirements and factors that can adversely affect our ratios

We and our subsidiary banks are subject to capital adequacy ratio and leverage ratio requirements adopted in Japan in accordance with Basel III. In addition, the finalized risk measurement requirements are expected to be phased in from 2023, and the leverage ratio surcharge is expected to become applicable in 2023.

If our or our subsidiary banks’ capital ratios or leverage ratios fall below the required levels, including various capital buffers, the FSA may require us to take a variety of corrective actions, including abstention from making capital distributions and suspension of our business operations.

In addition, some of our bank subsidiaries are subject to the local capital adequacy ratio and other regulatory ratio requirements of various foreign countries, including the United States, and if their ratios fall below the required levels, the local regulators may require them to take a variety of corrective actions.

Factors that will affect our and our bank subsidiaries’ capital ratios or leverage ratios include:

 

   

fluctuations in our or our banking subsidiaries’ portfolios due to deterioration in the creditworthiness of borrowers and the issuers of equity and debt securities,

 

   

difficulty in refinancing or issuing instruments upon redemption or at maturity of such instruments to raise capital under terms and conditions similar to prior financings or issuances,

 

   

declines in the value of our or our banking subsidiaries’ securities portfolios,

 

   

adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates,

 

   

adverse revisions to the capital ratio and other regulatory ratio requirements,

 

   

reductions in the value of our or our banking subsidiaries’ deferred tax assets, and

 

   

other adverse developments.

 

(2)

Regulations applicable to G-SIBs

The Financial Stability Board has identified us as one of the G-SIBs, which are subject to a capital surcharge. As such, we may be required to meet stricter capital ratio requirements.

 

–9–


(3)

Capital raising

Although capital raising instruments issued in or prior to March 2013 can be included as a capital item when calculating capital ratios to the extent permitted by a transition measure, such capital raising instruments require refinancing that meets the current requirements. In order for newly issued capital raising instruments to be included as a capital item in the calculation of capital ratios under the current requirements, such instruments must, among other things, have a clause in their terms and conditions that requires them to be written off or converted into common stock upon the occurrence of certain events, including when the issuing financial institution is deemed non-viable or when the issuing financial institution’s capital ratios decline below prescribed levels. As a result, under certain market conditions, we may be unable to refinance or issue capital raising instruments under terms and conditions similar to those of qualifying prior capital raising instruments. If such circumstances arise, our and our banking subsidiaries’ capital could be reduced, and our and our bank subsidiaries’ capital ratios and leverage ratios could decrease.

 

(4)

Total loss absorbing capacity in resolution

The Financial Stability Board issued “Principles on Loss-absorbing and Recapitalisation Capacity of G-SIBs in Resolution” in November 2015 and “Guiding Principles on the Internal Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity of G-SIBs (‘Internal TLAC’)” in July 2017. These principles are designed to ensure that if a G-SIB fails, it has sufficient total loss-absorbing capacity, or TLAC, available in resolution. Based on these principles, in Japan, G-SIBs, including us, are required to maintain certain minimum levels of capital and liabilities that are deemed to have loss-absorbing and recapitalization capacity, or External TLAC, and allocate a certain minimum level of External TLAC to any material subsidiary within their respective groups of companies, or Internal TLAC, starting in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The applicable minimum requirements are expected to be raised in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. Within the MUFG Group, MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd. and MUFG Americas Holdings are designated as our material subsidiaries. We may become subject to various regulatory actions, including restrictions on capital distributions, if we are unable to maintain our External TLAC ratios or the amount of Internal TLAC allocated to any of our material subsidiaries in Japan above the minimum levels required by the standards imposed by the FSA. Our External TLAC ratios and the amount of our Internal TLAC are affected by various factors described in (1), (2) and (3) above pertaining to the capital adequacy ratio and other related regulations. Although we plan to issue TLAC-qualified debt in an effort to meet the minimum required levels of External TLAC ratios and Internal TLAC amounts, we may fail to do so if we are unable to issue or refinance TLAC-qualified debt as planned.

In addition, MUFG Americas Holdings, a U.S. banking subsidiary within our group, is subject to local TLAC regulations and may become subject to various regulatory actions in the United States if the subsidiary fails to meet the minimum required levels.

 

–10–


10.

Risks relating to foreign exchange rate

We operate our business globally and we hold assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Japanese yen translation amounts of our assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies will fluctuate due to fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate. To the extent that our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are not matched in the same currency or appropriately hedged, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the Japanese yen may adversely affect our capital ratios, financial condition, and results of operations.

Credit Risk (Risk of Loss Resulting from Deterioration in Financial Condition of Borrowers or Transaction Counterparties)

 

11.

Risks relating to our lending business

The lending business is one of our primary businesses. To the extent that our measures designed to mitigate credit risk, including collateral, warranty and credit derivatives, are insufficient, our credit costs may significantly increase if borrowers fail to meet their interest payment or principal repayment obligations as expected or if we fail to effectively and adequately anticipate and deal with deterioration in the credit quality of our borrowers. Any such failure may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and may also result in a decrease in our capital ratios. Our credit costs and problem loans may increase in the future due to deterioration in economic conditions in Japan and other parts of the world, including emerging countries, fluctuations in oil and other commodity prices, declines in real estate and stock prices, depreciation of currencies of emerging markets, or financial difficulties of our borrowers due to such factors as intensifying competition within their respective industries.

 

(1)

Status of our allowance for credit losses

Our allowance for credit losses is based on assumptions and estimates of the condition of borrowers, the value of collateral and the economy as a whole. Because of deterioration in general economic conditions or in the financial performance of specific borrowers, we may be required to increase our provision for credit losses. We may also incur additional credit losses if our actual loan losses exceed our allowance for credit losses. As of March 31, 2020, the balance of our allowance for credit losses was ¥740.6 billion.

 

(2)

Concentration of loan and other credit exposures to particular industries and counterparties

When we make loans and other extensions of credit, we seek to diversify our portfolio to avoid any concentration of exposure to a particular industry or counterparty. However, our credit exposures to the energy and real estate industries are relatively high in comparison to other industries, and we are consequently susceptible to adverse changes in these particular industries. While we continue to monitor and respond to changes in circumstances and other developments relating to particular industries and individual counterparties as well as each relevant country and region, including emerging countries, their credit quality may deteriorate to an extent greater than expected due to changes in economic conditions in Japan and other countries and regions and fluctuations in oil and other commodity prices, real estate prices and foreign currency exchange rates.

 

–11–


(3)

Our response to borrowers

Even in the event that a borrower defaults, based on the efficiency and effectiveness of collecting on loans and other factors, we may not exercise all of our legal rights as a creditor against the borrower.

In addition, if we determine that it is reasonable, we may forgive debt or provide additional loans or equity capital to support borrowers. If such support is provided, our outstanding loans may increase significantly, our credit costs may increase and the price of the additional equity purchased may decline.

 

12.

Transactions with other financial institutions

Declining asset quality and other financial problems may exist at some domestic and foreign financial institutions, including banks, non-bank lending and credit institutions, securities companies and insurance companies, and these problems may worsen or these problems may arise again as new issues. If the financial difficulties of these financial institutions continue, worsen or arise, they may not only lead to liquidity and insolvency problems for such financial institutions but also result in systemic problems adversely affecting the financial market and the wider economy, and may adversely affect us for the following reasons:

 

   

we have credit extended to some financial institutions;

 

   

we are shareholders of some financial institutions;

 

   

financial institutions that face problems may terminate or reduce financial support to borrowers. As a result, these borrowers may become distressed or our problem loans to these borrowers may increase;

 

   

we may be requested to participate in providing support to distressed financial institutions;

 

   

if the government elects to provide regulatory, tax, funding or other benefits to financial institutions that the government controls to strengthen their capital, increase their profitability or for other purposes, they may adversely affect our competitiveness against them;

 

   

our deposit insurance premiums may rise if deposit insurance funds prove to be inadequate;

 

   

bankruptcies or government control of financial institutions may generally undermine the confidence of depositors in, or adversely affect the overall environment for, financial institutions; and

 

   

negative media coverage of the financial industry or system, regardless of its accuracy and applicability to us, may harm our reputation and market confidence.

 

–12–


Risk Relating to Our Strategic Equity Portfolio (Risk of Loss Resulting from a Decline in the Value of Equity Securities We Hold)

 

13.

Risks relating to our equity portfolio

We hold large amounts of marketable equity securities, including those held for strategic investment purposes. As of March 31, 2020, the market value of such securities was approximately ¥4.1 trillion, and the book value of such securities was approximately ¥2.1 trillion. In view of mitigating the risk of equity price volatility, our basic policy is to reduce the amount of equity securities held for strategic investment purposes. We examine the objective and economic rationale for strategically held equity securities, and if we determine that it no longer makes reasonable sense to continue to hold them, we will seek to dispose of such equity securities. For our strategic equity portfolio, we endeavor to manage the risk of stock price fluctuations by hedging a portion of the portfolio using total return swaps and other hedging instruments.

However, if stock prices decline, we may incur significant impairment losses or valuation losses on our equity investment portfolio. In addition, since unrealized gains and losses on equity securities are reflected in the calculation of regulatory capital amounts, a decline in stock prices may result in a decrease in our capital ratios and other regulatory ratios. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Market Risk (Risk of Loss Resulting from Fluctuations in Interest Rates, Prices of Securities and Foreign Currency Exchange Rates)

 

14.

Risks relating to our financial markets operations

We undertake extensive financial market operations involving a variety of financial instruments, including derivatives, and hold large volumes of such financial instruments. For example, if market interest rates decline due to such factors as changes in the monetary policies of central banks in various jurisdictions, the yield on the Japanese government bonds and foreign government bonds that we hold may also decline. Furthermore, if short-term interest rates rise to a larger extent than long-term interest rates, or if long-term interest rates decline to a larger extent than short-term interest rates, our interest income may be adversely affected. If interest rates in and outside of Japan rise, we may incur significant losses on sales of, and valuation losses on, our bond portfolio. In addition, an appreciation of the Japanese yen will cause the value of our foreign currency-denominated investments recorded on our financial statements to decline and may cause us to recognize losses on sales or valuation losses. Furthermore, if stock prices decline, the value of marketable equity securities and trading account equity securities that we hold also declines, we may incur significant losses on sales of, and valuation losses on, our marketable equity securities and trading account equity securities portfolios. Although we seek to manage market risk, which is the risk of incurring losses due to various market changes including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and stock prices, market risk exposure amounts that we calculate cannot accurately reflect the actual risk that we face in all cases, and we may realize actual losses that are greater than our estimated market risk exposure.

Funding Liquidity Risk (Risk of Unavailability of Funds)

 

15.

Risks relating to difficulty in our funding operations following a downgrade of our credit ratings

A downgrade of our credit ratings by one or more of the credit rating agencies may adversely affect our financial market operations and other aspects of our business. Any downgrade could increase the cost, or decrease the availability, of our funding, particularly in U.S. dollars and other foreign currencies, adversely affect our liquidity position or net interest margin, trigger additional collateral or funding obligations, and result in losses of depositors, investors and counterparties willing or permitted to transact with us, thereby reducing our ability to generate income and weakening our financial position. For example, assuming all of the relevant credit rating agencies downgraded the credit ratings of MUFG, MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings as of March 31, 2020 by one-notch on the same date, we estimate that MUFG and its three main subsidiaries would have been required to provide of approximately ¥58.8 billion of additional collateral under their derivative contracts. Assuming a two-notch downgrade by all of the same credit rating agencies occurring on the same date, we estimate that the additional collateral requirements for the same MUFG group companies under their derivative contracts would have been approximately ¥87.0 billion. In April 2020, Fitch downgraded the long-term credit ratings of MUFG, MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking by one-notch from A to A-. In addition, in April 2020, Standard and Poor’s changed the credit rating outlook for MUFG, MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking from “Positive” to “Stable”.

Rating agencies regularly evaluate us and our major subsidiaries as well as our and their respective debt securities. Their ratings are based on a number of factors, including their assessment of the relative financial strength of MUFG or of the relevant subsidiary, as well as conditions generally affecting the financial services industry in Japan or on a global basis, some of which are not entirely within our control. In addition, changes in their evaluation or rating methodologies are beyond our control. We strive to ensure appropriate funding liquidity by, for example, setting and monitoring certain indicators for funding liquidity risk management purposes. However, as a result of changes in rating agencies’ evaluations based on the above factors or the rating methodologies, our ratings or the ratings of our subsidiaries may be downgraded. Such downgrade may adversely affect the profitability of our markets operations and other operations as well as our financial condition and results of operations.

Operational Risk (Risk of Loss Resulting from Inappropriate Management of Operations or External Factors)

 

16.

Risks of being deemed to have engaged in inappropriate or illegal practices or other conduct and, as a result, becoming subject to regulatory actions

We conduct our business subject to laws, regulations, rules, policies and voluntary codes of practice in Japan and other markets where we operate. We are subject to various regulatory inquiries or investigations from time to time in connection with various aspects of our business and operations. Our compliance risk management systems and programs, which are continually enhanced, may not be fully effective in preventing all violations of laws, regulations and rules.

If we are deemed not compliant with applicable laws, regulations or rules, including those relating to money laundering, economic sanctions, bribery, corruption, financial crimes, or other inappropriate or illegal transactions, if our conduct is deemed to constitute unfair or inappropriate business practices, or if we are deemed to have failed to meet market or industry rules or standards, customer protection requirements, or corporate behavior expectations, we may become subject to penalties, fines, public reprimands, reputational damage, issuance of business improvement, suspension or other administrative orders, or withdrawal of authorization to operate. These consequences may result in loss of customer or market confidence in us or otherwise may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for future strategic initiatives may also be adversely affected.

In November 2017, MUFG Bank agreed to the entry by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or OCC, of a consent order that includes remedial terms and conditions that are substantively the same as those included in the consent agreements that MUFG Bank had reached with the New York Department of Financial Services in 2013 and 2014 pertaining to compliance with OFAC sanctions requirements. The consent order was a condition for the conversion of MUFG Bank’s branches and agencies in the United States from state-licensed branches and agencies under the supervision of state regulatory agencies to federally licensed branches and agencies under the supervision of the OCC. In February 2019, MUFG Bank entered into a consent order with the OCC, relating to deficiencies identified by the OCC in the Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering compliance program of MUFG Bank’s U.S. branches in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The consent order requires MUFG Bank and its U.S. branches to implement various remedial measures to address the deficiencies found in the OCC examination, including a comprehensive action plan satisfactory to the OCC, implementation of measures to ensure effective compliance management and qualified staffing, the adoption of comprehensive Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering risk assessment policies and procedures, and other remedial actions. MUFG Bank is undertaking necessary actions relating to the consent orders. These developments or other similar matters may result in additional regulatory actions against us or agreements to make significant additional settlement payments.

We have received requests and subpoenas for information from government agencies in some jurisdictions that are conducting investigations into past submissions made by panel members, including us, to the bodies that set various interbank benchmark rates as well as investigations into foreign exchange related practices of global financial institutions. Some of the investigations into foreign exchange related practices resulted in our payment of monetary penalties to the relevant government agencies. We are cooperating with the ongoing investigations and have been conducting an internal investigation, among other things. In connection with these matters, we and other financial institutions are involved as defendants in a number of civil lawsuits, including putative class actions, in the United States. These developments or other similar events may result in significant adverse financial and other consequences to us.

Risks relating to loss or leakage of confidential information

We are required to appropriately handle customer information or personal information in accordance with laws and regulations in Japan and other parts of the world. We possess a large amount of customer information and personal information, and we are working to improve our information management system by preparing information management policies and procedures concerning the storage and handling of information and implementing information system enhancements. However, due to improper management, unauthorized access from external sources such as cyber-attacks, or computer virus infection, we may not be able to completely prevent the loss or leakage of customer information and personal information. In such event, we may be subject to penalties, administrative sanctions and other direct losses such as compensation paid to customers. In addition, loss of customer and market confidence may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may also incur additional costs to deal with the consequences of these events.

 

18.

Risks relating to cyber-attacks

Our information, communications and transaction management systems (including our own proprietary systems as well as those third-party systems which are provided for our use or to which our systems are connected) constitute a core infrastructure for our accounting and other business operations. We are working to prevent system failures through appropriate design and testing and other means and to establish security-conscious systems. However, we may not be able to completely prevent system failures, cyber-attacks, unauthorized access, computer virus infection, human errors, equipment malfunctions, defects in services provided by third parties such as communications service providers, and failure to appropriately deal with technological advances and new systems and tools. In addition, we may be unable to enhance our financial transaction management systems as required for all of our business operations or under increasingly stricter regulations applicable to financial institutions. Furthermore, our system development or improvement projects, many of which are critical to our ability to operate in accordance with market and regulatory standards, may not be completed as planned due to the complexity and other difficulty relating to such projects. Such failures and inability may lead to errors and delays in transactions, information leakage and other adverse consequences, and, if serious, could lead to the suspension of our business operations and financial losses such as those incurred in connection with compensation for damages caused by such suspension, diminish confidence in us, harm our reputation, subject us to administrative sanctions, or result in our incurring additional costs to deal with the consequences of these events.

19.

Risks relating to transactions with counterparties in countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism

We enter into limited transactions with entities in or affiliated with Iran and other countries designated by the U.S. Department of State as “state sponsors of terrorism.” In addition, our banking subsidiary has a representative office in Iran.

U.S. law generally prohibits or limits U.S. persons from doing business with state sponsors of terrorism. In addition, we are aware of initiatives by U.S. governmental entities and U.S. institutional investors, such as pension funds, to prohibit or restrict transactions with or investments in entities doing business with Iran and other countries identified as state sponsors of terrorism. It is possible that such initiatives may result in our being unable to gain or retain business with U.S. governmental entities, U.S. institutional investors, such as pension funds, and entities subject to such prohibition or restrictions as customers or as investors in our shares. In addition, depending on socio-political developments, our reputation may suffer because of our associations with these countries. The above circumstances may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and the price of our shares.

The U.S. Government sanctions against Iran apply to prohibit, among other things, U.S. persons from conducting transactions relating to Iran, subject to limited exceptions. In addition, in May 2018, the United States withdrew from participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Under subsequently issued executive orders, the United States may impose secondary sanctions against non-U.S. persons who engage in or facilitate a broad range of transactions and activities involving Iran. We will continue to monitor and implement measures to address this heightened risk of U.S. measures, including any possible secondary sanctions.

Companies registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (including non-U.S. companies) are subject to the disclosure requirement relating to certain Iran-related transactions. Moreover, certain Japanese sanctions measures are in effect, including freezing the assets of persons involved in Iran’s sensitive nuclear activities and development of nuclear weapon delivery systems. We continue to work to improve our policies and procedures to comply with such regulatory requirements. There remains a risk of potential regulatory action against us, however, if regulators perceive our policies and procedures not to be in compliance with applicable regulations. For more information on the relevant regulatory actions, please refer to “16. Risks of being deemed to have engaged in inappropriate or illegal practices or other conduct and, as a result, becoming subject to regulatory actions.”

 

20.

Risks relating to regulatory changes

We conduct our business subject to current laws, regulations, accounting standards, policies, customary business practices and interpretations in Japan and other regions, as well as global financial regulatory standards and risks associated with changes in such regulations. Significant management resources may be required and, in some cases, our management strategy may need to be modified, to respond to regulatory changes and situations arising as a result of regulatory. If our measures to respond to regulatory changes are not sufficient, we may become subject to regulatory actions, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

21.

Risks relating to our consumer lending business

We have subsidiaries and affiliates in the consumer finance industry as well as loans outstanding to consumer finance companies. The results of recent court cases, including the strict interpretation of the requirements for deemed payment, or “minashi bensai,” have made a borrower’s claim for reimbursement of previously collected interest payments in excess of the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Law easier, and, as a result, there have been a significant number of such claims. In addition to the refund of overpaid interest by our subsidiaries and affiliates engaged in the consumer finance business, we may incur additional credit costs due to deterioration in the financial performance of the consumer finance companies to which we extend credit. Moreover, any adverse changes in judicial decisions or regulatory requirements may result in our incurring additional costs and expenses.

 

22.

Risks relating to our reputation

We are one of the leading financial institutions in Japan and one of the handful G-SIBs in the world, and we aim to be the world’s most trusted financial group. Our ability to conduct business is indispensably dependent on the trust and confidence of our customers and local and international communities. Our reputation is critical in maintaining our relationships with customers, investors, regulators and the general public. Our reputation may be damaged by their negative perceptions of us and our operations in light of their concerns over human rights, the environment, public health and safety, or other corporate social responsibilities, or by our transactions or operations if they are deemed repugnant to the intent and policy underlying applicable laws and regulations such as anti-money laundering, economic sanctions and competition laws as well as the prohibition on dealing with anti-social forces. Failure to prevent or properly address these issues may result in impairment of our corporate brand, loss of our existing or prospective customers or investors, or increased public or regulatory scrutiny, and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

  IV.

Accounting policies

 

  (1)

Trading assets and Trading liabilities; Trading income and expenses

Transactions involving short-term fluctuations or arbitrage opportunities in interest rates, currency exchange rates, market prices of financial instruments or other market indices (“trading purposes”) are presented in “Trading assets” and “Trading liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet on a trade-date basis, and gains and losses from trading transactions (interest and dividends, gains or losses on sales and gains or losses on valuation) are presented in “Trading income” and “Trading expenses” on the consolidated statement of income.

Trading assets and trading liabilities are stated at fair value as of the consolidated balance sheet date.

With respect to derivative transactions for trading purposes, specific market risk and counterparty credit risk exposures are measured in groups of trading assets and trading liabilities, and fair value is determined for each such group of trading assets and trading liabilities on a net basis.

 

  (2)

Securities

 

  (a)

Debt securities being held to maturity are stated at amortized cost (using the straight-line method) computed using the moving-average method. Available-for-sale securities are stated at their quoted market prices (cost of securities sold is calculated primarily using the moving-average method), and equity securities with no quoted market price available are stated at acquisition cost computed using the moving-average method.

Net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities are included directly in net assets, net of applicable income taxes, except in the case of application of the fair value hedge accounting method, in which the change in the fair value recognized is recorded in current earnings.

 

  (b)

Securities included in trust assets in money held in trust are accounted for on the same basis as noted above in Notes (1) and (2)(a).

Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities in money held in trust which are not held for trading purposes or held to maturity are included directly in net assets, net of applicable income taxes.

 

  (3)

Derivatives

Derivative transactions (excluding those for trading purposes) are stated at fair value as of the consolidated balance sheet date.

With respect to derivative transactions for trading purposes, specific market risk and counterparty credit risk exposures are measured in groups of trading assets and trading liabilities, and fair value is determined for each such group of trading assets and trading liabilities on a net basis.

 

  (4)

Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets

 

  (a)

Tangible fixed assets (except for lease assets)

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets of MUFG and its domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries is computed using the declining-balance method.The useful lives are primarily estimated as follows:

Buildings: 15 to 50 years

Equipment: 2 to 20 years

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets of other consolidated subsidiaries is computed primarily using the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives.

 

  (b)

Intangible fixed assets (except for lease assets)

Amortization of intangible fixed assets is computed using the straight-line method.

Development costs for internally used software are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of primarily 3 to 10 years.

 

–19–


  (c)

Lease assets

Depreciation or amortization of lease assets in “Tangible fixed assets” or “Intangible fixed assets” under finance leases other than those that are deemed to transfer the ownership of leased property to the lessees is computed using the straight-line method over the lease periods with zero residual value unless residual value is guaranteed by the corresponding lease contracts, in which case the residual value equals the guaranteed amount.

 

  (5)

Deferred assets

Bond issuance costs and stock issuance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

  (6)

Allowance for credit losses

Principal domestic consolidated subsidiaries determine the amount of allowance for credit losses in accordance with the internal standards for self-assessment of asset quality and the internal standards for write-offs and provisions.

For claims on borrowers that have entered into bankruptcy, special liquidation proceedings or similar legal proceedings or whose notes have been dishonored and suspended from processing through clearing houses (“bankrupt borrowers”) or borrowers that are not legally or formally bankrupt but are regarded as substantially in similar condition (“virtually bankrupt borrowers”), allowances are provided based on the amount of claims, after the write-offs as stated below, net of expected amounts to be collected through the disposal of collateral and the execution of guarantees.

For claims on borrowers that are not yet legally or formally bankrupt but deemed to have a high possibility of becoming bankrupt (“likely to become bankrupt borrowers”), where the amounts of principal repayments and interest payments cannot be reasonably estimated from the borrowers’ cash flows, allowances are provided based on an overall solvency assessment of the claims, net of expected amounts to be collected through the disposal of collateral and the execution of guarantees.

For claims on likely to become bankrupt borrowers and claims on borrowers requiring close monitoring, where the amounts of principal repayments and interest payments can be reasonably estimated from the borrowers’ cash flows, allowances are provided in an amount equal to the difference between the book value of the claims and the relevant cash flows discounted by the initial contractual interest rates.

For other claims, allowances are provided based mainly on expected losses for the immediately following one-year period or the average remaining term to maturity of loans. Expected losses are calculated by applying a loss rate, which is obtained based on the average rate of historical credit loss experience or historical default probability experience over a certain period, which is derived from actual credit losses or actual defaults over a one-year period or over a period equal to the average remaining period of loans, with necessary adjustments for future loss projections and other factors.

For claims originated in certain foreign countries, additional allowances are provided based on an assessment of political and economic conditions of these countries.

All claims are assessed by the relevant branches and credit supervision departments in accordance with the internal standards for self-assessment of asset quality. The credit review department, which is independent from those operating sections, subsequently audits these assessments.

For claims on bankrupt borrowers and virtually bankrupt borrowers, the amount of claims exceeding the estimated value of collateral or guarantees, which is deemed uncollectible, is written off. The total amount of write-offs was ¥296,288 million. (¥332,364 million as of March 31, 2019).

Consolidated subsidiaries not adopting the procedures stated above provide for allowances based on their historical credit loss experience or other factors for collectively assessed claims and based on individual assessments of the possibility of collection for specific deteriorated claims.

 

–20–


(Additional information)

MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“the Bank”), a major consolidated subsidiary of MUFG, and some of the Bank’s consolidated subsidiaries, recorded a provision for credit losses of ¥45,347 million by estimating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on credit risk, to the extent that such impact was considered not to have been reflected in the borrowers’ financial information, considering the expected impact of the pandemic on the borrowers’ financial performance and on the overall economic environment.

The process for preparing the recorded provision amount involved, among other things, determining the scope of borrowers (in terms of industry, geographical region, etc.) that were expected to be significantly affected, making certain assumptions relating to economic factors based on certain scenarios, and collectively estimating the degree to which the internal credit ratings assigned to borrowers in particular industries or geographic regions would be downgraded.

Since there was no precedent or established market view regarding the extent of the pandemic or the timing of containment of the pandemic available for reference, the Bank and some of its consolidated subsidiaries made certain assumptions, including that economic conditions recovering to the calendar 2019 level by some time around the end of calendar 2020 globally, and estimated the amount, as best as they could under the circumstances, based on, among other things, such assumptions, information available from external sources, and the approval of the appropriate management decision-making body given in accordance with prescribed internal rules.

 

  (7)

Reserve for bonuses

Reserve for bonuses, which is provided for future bonus payments to employees, is recorded in the amount deemed to have accrued based on the estimated amount of bonuses as of the consolidated balance sheet date.

 

  (8)

Reserve for bonuses to directors

Reserve for bonuses to directors, which is provided for future bonus payments to directors, is recorded in the amount deemed to have accrued based on the estimated amount of bonuses as of the consolidated balance sheet date.

 

–21–


  (9)

Reserve for stocks payment

Reserve for stocks payment, which is provided for future payments of compensation under the stock compensation plan for directors and officers of MUFG and certain domestic consolidated subsidiaries, is recorded in the amount deemed to have accrued based on the estimated amount of compensation as of the consolidated balance sheet date.

 

  (10)

Reserve for retirement benefits to directors

Reserve for retirement benefits to directors, which is provided for future payments of retirement benefits to directors of consolidated subsidiaries, is recorded in the amount deemed to have accrued based on the estimated amount of benefits as of the consolidated balance sheet date.

 

  (11)

Reserve for loyalty award credits

Reserve for loyalty award credits, which is provided for the future redemption of points awarded to customers through Super IC Cards, etc., is calculated by estimating the amount that will be redeemed in the future based on the monetary amount converted from the awarded but unused points, and is recorded in the appropriate amount as a reserve.

 

  (12)

Reserve for contingent losses

Reserve for contingent losses, which is provided for possible losses from contingent events related to off-balance sheet transactions and various litigation and regulatory matters, is calculated by estimating the impact of such contingent events. This reserve also includes future claims for repayment of excess interest payments on consumer loans that are estimated based on the past repayments, the pending claims and other factors.

 

  (13)

Reserves under special laws

Reserves under special laws represent the reserves for contingent liabilities from derivative financial instruments transactions executed for clients, which are recorded in accordance with Article 46-5-1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law and Article 175 of the Cabinet Office Ordinance on Financial Instruments Business.

 

  (14)

Retirement benefits

In calculating the amount of benefit obligation, the portion of projected benefit obligation attributed to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 is determined using the benefit formula basis.

Prior service cost is amortized using the straight-line method over a fixed period, primarily over 10 years, within the employees’ average remaining service period.

Net actuarial gains (losses) are amortized using the straight-line method over a fixed period, primarily over 10 years, within the employees’ average remaining service period, primarily beginning in the subsequent fiscal year after such gains (losses) are recognized.

For certain overseas branches of domestic consolidated subsidiaries and certain consolidated subsidiaries, net defined benefit liability and retirement benefit expenses are calculated using the simplified method.

 

  (15)

Translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies or booked at overseas branches of domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries are translated into yen primarily at the exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date, except for investments in non-consolidated affiliates which are translated into yen at the exchange rates prevailing at the acquisition dates.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies of other consolidated subsidiaries are translated into yen at the exchange rates prevailing at the respective balance sheet date.

 

–22–


  (16)

Leasing transactions

(As lessees)

Domestic consolidated subsidiaries’ finance leases other than those that are deemed to transfer the ownership of leased property to the lessees are accounted for in a similar way to purchases, and depreciation of lease assets is computed using the straight-line method over the lease term with zero residual value unless residual value is guaranteed by the corresponding lease contracts, in which case the residual value equals the guaranteed amount.

(As lessors)

Finance leases other than those that are deemed to transfer the ownership of leased property to the lessees are accounted for in a similar way to sales and income and expenses related to such leases are recognized by allocating interest equivalents to applicable fiscal periods instead of recording sales as “Other ordinary income.”

 

  (17)

Hedge accounting

 

  (a)

Hedge accounting for interest rate risks

Domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries have adopted the deferred hedge accounting method for hedging transactions to hedge interest rate risks arising from financial assets and liabilities. Portfolio hedging or individual hedging, as described in the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“JICPA”) Industry Audit Committee Report No. 24, “Treatment of Accounting and Auditing of Application of Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments in Banking Industry” (February 13, 2002) and JICPA Accounting Committee Report No. 14, “Practical Guidelines for Accounting for Financial Instruments” (January 31, 2000), are primarily applied to determine hedged items.

With respect to hedging transactions to offset fluctuations in the fair value of fixed rate deposits, loans and other instruments, hedging instruments (e.g., interest rate swaps) are designated to hedged items individually or collectively by their maturities in accordance with JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No. 24. With respect to hedging transactions to offset fluctuations in the fair value of fixed rate bonds classified as available-for-sale securities, hedging instruments (e.g., interest rate swaps) are designated to hedged items collectively by the type of bond. Since material terms related to hedged items and hedging instruments are substantially identical, and such hedging transactions are deemed highly effective, the assessment of effectiveness is based on the similarity of the terms.

With respect to hedging transactions to fix the cash flows of forecasted transactions related to floating rate deposits, loans and other instruments as well as forecasted transactions related to short-term fixed rate deposits, loans and other instruments, hedging instruments (e.g., interest rate swaps) are designated to hedged items collectively by interest rate indices and tenors in accordance with JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No. 24. Since material terms related to hedged items and hedging instruments are substantially identical, and such hedging transactions are deemed highly effective, the assessment of effectiveness is based on the similarity of the terms. The effectiveness of hedging transactions is also assessed by the correlation between factors that cause fluctuations in interest rates of hedged items and those of hedging instruments.

 

  (b)

Hedge accounting for foreign currency risks

Domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries have adopted the deferred hedge accounting method for hedging foreign currency risks arising from financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Portfolio hedging is applied to determine hedged items as described in JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No. 25 “Treatment of Accounting and Auditing concerning Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions in the Banking Industry” (July 29, 2002). Hedging instruments (e.g., currency swaps and forward exchange contracts) are designated to hedged items collectively by currencies.

Portfolio hedging and individual hedging are applied to hedge foreign currency risks arising from equity investments in foreign subsidiaries and foreign affiliates and from available-for-sale securities (other than bonds) denominated in foreign currencies. Monetary claims and liabilities denominated in the same foreign currencies or forward exchange contracts are used as hedging instruments. As for the hedge accounting method applied to equity investments in foreign subsidiaries and foreign affiliates, foreign currency translation differences arising from hedging instruments are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments. The fair value hedge accounting method is applied to available-for-sale securities (other than bonds) denominated in foreign currencies.

 

–23–


  (c)

Hedge accounting for stock price fluctuation risks

Individual hedging is applied to hedge market fluctuation risks arising from strategic equity securities held by domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries. Instruments such as total return swaps are used as hedging instruments. The effectiveness of hedging transactions is assessed by the correlation between changes in the fair value of hedged items and changes in the fair value of hedging instruments. The fair value hedge accounting method is applied.

 

  (d)

Transactions among consolidated subsidiaries

Derivative transactions including interest rate swaps and currency swaps which are designated as hedging instruments among consolidated subsidiaries or between trading accounts and other accounts (or among internal sections) are not eliminated from the consolidated statements of income or valuation difference, but are recognized as related gains or losses or deferred under hedge accounting because these derivative transactions meet non-arbitrariness and certain other criteria under JICPA Industry Audit Committee Reports No. 24 and No. 25 and are regarded as equivalent to external third-party cover transactions.

 

  (18)

Amortization of goodwill

Goodwill was primarily amortized using the straight-line method over 20 years beginning in the period of the acquisition. Other goodwill with insignificant balance was amortized as incurred.

 

  (19)

If the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in each domicile country and not in accordance with IFRS or U.S. GAAP, the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are mainly rearranged in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjustments are also made when necessary in the consolidated accounting process.

(Changes in Accounting Policies)

(Changes in Accounting Policies Due to Revision to Accounting Standards, etc.)

(Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement)

Accounting Standard Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Statement No. 30, “Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (ASBJ, July 4, 2019; hereinafter referred to as “Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement”) and ASBJ Guidance No. 31, “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (ASBJ, July 4, 2019), are applied as of the end of the current fiscal year. In accordance with Paragraph 8 of the Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement, the risk adjustment method applied to determine the fair value of derivatives was modified to use as much as possible observable inputs estimated by reference to derivatives and other instruments traded in the market. This modification was made due to the application of the Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement. In accordance with the transitional measures set forth in Paragraph 20 of the Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement, the cumulative effect of retroactively applying the new accounting policy prior to the beginning of the current fiscal year was recognized as adjustments to retained earnings at the beginning of the current fiscal year, and the new accounting policy is applied from the beginning of the current fiscal year as a change in MUFG’s accounting policies.

As a result, at the beginning of the current fiscal year, retained earnings decreased by ¥20,533 million, trading assets decreased by ¥17,428 million, other assets decreased by ¥5,509 million, trading liabilities increased by ¥4,083 million, other liabilities increased by ¥1,680 million, and net assets per share decreased by ¥1.58.

Summary

The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” on June 16, 2016. This update primarily applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost. The update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses, and full lifetime expected credit losses will be recognized upon initial recognition of a financial asset measured on an amortized cost basis.

Adoption date

The MUFG Group will adopt the update with respect to its consolidated overseas subsidiaries applying U.S. GAAP as of the beginning of the fiscal year starting on April 1, 2020.

  (3)

Estimated impact

The adoption of this update is expected to result in an increase in allowance for credit losses of approximately ¥170 billion and a decrease in retained earnings of approximately ¥120 billion as of the beginning of the fiscal year starting on April 1, 2020.

(Litigation)

In the ordinary course of business, MUFG is subject to various litigation and regulatory matters. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, MUFG establishes a Reserve for Contingent Losses arising from litigation and regulatory matters when they are determined to be probable in their occurrences and the probable loss amount can be reasonably estimated. Based upon current knowledge and consultation with counsel, management believes the eventual outcome of such litigation and regulatory matters, where losses are probable and the probable loss amounts can be reasonably estimated, would not have a material adverse effect on MUFG’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management also believes the amount of loss that is reasonably possible, but not probable, from various litigation and regulatory matters is not material to MUFG’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Losses on impairment of fixed assets

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019

An impairment loss recorded by a domestic consolidated consumer finance subsidiary of MUFG was included in the “Losses on impairment of fixed assets.” The consumer finance subsidiary determined to fundamentally review its current system integration plan, comprehensively taking into account the scale, complexity and the degree of difficulty for system development to respond to rapid changes in the payments market in an appropriate manner, at the meeting of the Board of Directors on March 25, 2019. As a result, an impairment loss of the following asset group was recorded.

Categories

  

Place

System Integration Related Assets

   Buildings, Other tangible fixed assets, Software, Other intangible fixed assets, Other assets    Inzai City of Chiba Prefecture

Credit Business Assets

   Buildings, Land, Other tangible fixed assets, Software, Other intangible fixed assets, Other assets and Other liabilities    Inzai City of Chiba Prefecture, Toshima City of Tokyo, Tatebayashi City of Gunma Prefecture, Nagoya City of Aichi Prefecture, Kitanagoya City of Aichi Prefecture, Bunkyo City of Tokyo

Assets related to the Credit Business are grouped as one unit in the consumer finance subsidiary. Assets held for disposal and idle assets are grouped respectively. The consumer finance subsidiary considered the System Integration Related Assets unlikely to have a cost reduction effect and remain in use in the future, and reevaluated the profitability of the Credit Business Assets. As a result, it was determined that their carrying amounts exceeded their respective recoverable amounts, and, to the extent of such excess, impairment losses were recognized as extraordinary losses. The recoverable amount is measured based on value in use, and calculated as future cash flows discounted at 8.97%. The recoverable amount is valued as zero for the assets without potential future cash flows.

The impairment loss amount was ¥148,639 million. (¥1,518 million on buildings (including ¥189 million for system integration related assets), ¥2,515 million on land, ¥6,155 million on other tangible fixed assets (including ¥1,923 million for system integration related assets), ¥37,177 million on software (including ¥3,163 million for system integration related assets), ¥86,683 million on other intangible fixed assets (including ¥85,929 million for system integration related assets), ¥8,960 million on other assets (including ¥2,596 million for system integration related assets) and ¥5,628 million on other liabilities.)

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020

“Losses on impairment of fixed assets” included an impairment loss on goodwill of ¥27,181 million recognized by MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (“MUAH”), a consolidated subsidiary of MUFG, in connection with its business acquisitions.

MUAH groups its assets based on business category. In the current fiscal year, due to the decline in interest rates in the United States, the projected profitability mainly related to the subsidiary’s lending services was reevaluated, and a goodwill impairment test was performed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As a result, it was determined that the carrying amount of a portion of the goodwill allocated to the Global Commercial Banking Business Group, the relevant reporting segment of MUFG, exceeded the fair value of such goodwill, and, to the extent of such excess, an impairment loss was recorded. The fair value was estimated using a combination of the income approach based on the projected profitability and the market approach.

 

  IV.

“Amortization of goodwill” was recorded in connection with an impairment loss due to the decline in the market price of the equity securities of PT Bank Danamon Indonesia, Tbk. and Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited held through a consolidated domestic banking subsidiary, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 32 of the JICPA Accounting Committee Report No. 7 “Practical Guidelines for the Capital Consolidation Procedure in Consolidated Financial Statements” (May 12, 1998) (the “JICPA Consolidation Guidelines”).

Financial Instruments

 

I.

Disclosure on financial instruments

 

  (1)

Policy for financial instruments

MUFG provides comprehensive financial services such as deposit-taking and lending services, securities investment and other securities services and foreign exchange services.

In order to prevent these businesses from being negatively affected by fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates and other market conditions, MUFG conducts asset and liability management (“ALM”) by adjusting market exposure and the balance between short-term and long-term assets and liabilities. To do so, among other things, MUFG raises capital from the market and hedges risks through derivative transactions.

 

  (2)

Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments

MUFG holds various types of financial instruments such as loans, securities, and derivatives and is thus exposed to credit and market risks.

Credit risk is the risk of loss on receivables such as loans due to nonperformance of contractual obligations caused by factors such as deterioration in the financial condition of a borrower.

Market risk mainly arises from changes in domestic and overseas interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and fluctuations in market prices of stocks and bonds. For example, an increase in domestic and overseas interest rates would reduce the value of MUFG’s bond portfolio consisting of government and other bonds, and a rise in yen would reduce the value of foreign-currency-denominated securities and other assets when converted into yen. MUFG also invests in marketable equity securities, and a fall in the market price would decrease the fair value of these securities. As part of MUFG’s trading and ALM activities, MUFG holds derivative products such as interest rate swaps. A significant change in foreign exchange or interest rates may cause a significant fluctuation in the fair value of these derivative products. In conducting transactions in derivative products for purposes of hedging risks, MUFG hedges against interest rate risks associated with instruments including fixed rate deposits, loans and bonds, floating rate deposits, loans and bonds, and forecasted transactions involving fixed rate deposits and loans through designated hedging methods including interest rate swaps. MUFG hedges against exchange rate fluctuation risks associated with instruments such as foreign currency denominated monetary claims and liabilities through hedging methods including currency swap transactions and forward exchange contracts. In lieu of effectiveness determination, MUFG designs hedging activities so that the material terms of the hedging instruments are almost identical to those of the hedged items. In limited circumstances, the effectiveness of hedging activities is assessed by verification of the correlation between factors that cause fluctuations in interest rates.

 

  (3)

Risk management relating to financial instruments

 

  (A)

Credit risk management

MUFG regularly monitors and assesses the credit portfolios of MUFG’s group companies and uses credit rating and asset evaluation and assessment systems to ensure timely and proper evaluation of credit risk.

Within the basic framework of MUFG’s credit risk control system based on MUFG’s credit risk control rules, each group company has established a consolidated and global credit risk control system while MUFG monitors group-wide credit risk. MUFG provides training and advice when necessary in addition to monitoring credit risk management conducted by MUFG’s group companies.

In screening individual transactions and managing credit risk, each major group company has in place a check-and-balance system in which the credit administration section and the business promotion section are kept separate.

MUFG holds regular management committee meetings to ensure full reporting and discussion on important credit risk management and administration matters.

In addition to providing check-and-balance between different functions and conducting management level deliberations, the audit department also undertakes to validate credit operations to ensure appropriate credit administration.

 

–42–


  (B)

Market risk management

 

  (a)

Risk management system

MUFG has adopted an integrated system to manage market risks associated with market activities for trading purposes (trading activities) and non-trading market activities (banking activities). MUFG monitors group-wide market risk while each of the major group companies has established a market risk management system on a consolidated and global basis.

At each of the major group companies, checks and balances are maintained through a system in which the back office (operating and administrative section) and the middle office (risk control section) operate independently from the front office (the market department). As part of risk control by management, the Board of Directors, etc. establish the framework for the market risk management system and define responsibilities relating to market operations. MUFG allocates economic capital corresponding to levels of market risk within the scope of the MUFG’s capital base, and establishes quantitative limits on market risk based on the allocated economic capital as well as limits on losses to contain MUFG’s exposure to risks and losses within a certain range.

 

  (b)

Market risk management

MUFG reports daily the status on group-wide exposure to market risk and compliance with quantitative limits on market risk and losses at each major group company to the Chief Risk Officer, while each major group company internally reports daily to its risk management officer on the status of exposure to market risk and compliance with quantitative limits on market risk and losses. MUFG and each major group company conduct comprehensive analyses on risk profiles, including stress testing, and regularly reports to their respective ALM Committees and Corporate Risk Management Committees.

MUFG administers risks at each business unit at MUFG’s major group companies by hedging against interest rate and exchange rate fluctuation risks associated with marketable assets and liabilities with various hedging transactions using marketable securities and derivatives as appropriate. With respect to trading account transactions and their administration, MUFG documents the process and periodically verifies through internal audits that the valuation methods and operation of such transactions are appropriate.

 

  (c)

Market risk measurement model

Since the daily variation in market risk is significantly greater than that in other types of risks, MUFG measures and manages market risk using the Value at Risk (“VaR”), Value at Idiosyncratic Risk (“VaI”) and other methods.

Market risk for both trading and banking activities (excluding strategic equity securities) is measured using a uniform market risk measurement model. The principal method used for the model is the historical simulation method (holding period — 10 business days; confidence interval — 99%; and observation period — 701 business days).

* Market risk can be classified into “general market risk” defined as the risk of suffering loss due to the volatility in the general market trend, and “specific market risk” defined as the risk of suffering loss due to the volatility of specific financial instruments such as debt securities or stocks, independent of the general market trend. The amount of general market risk calculated by a market risk measurement method is called VaR, while the amount of specific market risk is called VaI.

* The historical simulation method calculates the VaR and VaI amount by estimating the profit and loss on the current portfolio by applying actual fluctuations in market rates and prices that occurred over a fixed period in the past. The noted features of the historical simulation method include the ability to directly reflect the characteristics of the market fluctuations and the ability to rigorously measure the risk arising from options. However, because VaR and VaI measure market risks with a fixed event probability calculated statistically based on past market changes, they may not be able to ascertain risks when market volatility reaches abnormal levels.

  (d)

Quantitative information in respect of market risk

 

  (i)

Amount of market risk associated with trading activities

The amount of consolidated market risk associated with trading activities across the Group was ¥20.8 billion and ¥24.8 billion as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

 

  (ii)

Amount of market risk associated with banking activities

The amount of consolidated market risk associated with banking activities (excluding strategic equity securities) across the Group was ¥315.6 billion and ¥672.8 billion as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. As appropriate identification of interest rate risk is vital to banking activities (excluding strategic equity securities), such risk is managed based on the following assumptions for appropriate measurement of core deposits and prepayments on loans and deposits.

For a certain portion of the deposits without contractual maturities (so-called core deposits), interest rate risk is recognized by allocating maturities of various terms (no longer than 10 years) according to the features of deposits, taking into account the results of a statistical analysis using data on changes in the balance by product, expected deposit interest rates and other business judgments. The amount of core deposits and the method of allocating maturities are reviewed on a regular basis. Meanwhile, the deposits and loans with contractual maturities involve risks associated with premature repayment or cancellation. These risks are reflected in interest rate risks by estimating the ratio of cancellations through a statistical analysis based on factors including interest rate fluctuations and actual repayments and cancellations.

 

  (iii)

Risk of strategic equity portfolio

With respect to the equity securities strategically held by MUFG (publicly traded), MUFG estimates that the market value of such securities would fluctuate by ¥3.0 billion and ¥2.8 billion as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, if TOPIX moves one point in either direction.

 

  (e)

Backtesting

 

    

In order to test the accuracy of the market risk measurement model, MUFG conducts backtesting to compare the VaR with one-day holding period computed by the model with the daily hypothetical profit or loss.

 

    

As part of the backtesting, MUFG also endeavors to ensure the accuracy of its market risk measurement model by verifying the characteristics of such model from various perspectives, including testing of the appropriateness of the assumptions used in such model.

 

    

The results of backtesting with respect to the trading activities on the business days in each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2020 indicate that hypothetical loss exceeded VaR zero and four times, respectively. Given that hypothetical loss exceeded VaR four times or less in a one-year period, MUFG believes that its VaR measurement model provides sufficiently accurate measurements of market risk.

Stress testing

 

    

To measure VaR using a market risk measurement model, MUFG applies the historical simulation method, in which the potential loss for a certain period (10 business days) is calculated by applying market fluctuations over a fixed period in the past (701 business days, approximately 3 years) to its currently held portfolio. For this reason, losses greater than VaR may arise in cases where a market fluctuation that was observed before the observation period occurs or each risk factor, such as interest rates and exchange rates, shows different moves from historical correlations.

 

    

As a means to measure expected losses that cannot be captured by the current risk measurement method, MUFG conducts stress testing using various scenarios.

 

    

By conducting stress testing as appropriate using various scenarios in view of future forecasts, each of the group companies makes an effort to apprehend where risks lie and aim to manage its assets more stably and securely.

Management of liquidity risk associated with funding activities

MUFG’s major group companies strive to secure appropriate liquidity in both yen and foreign currencies by managing the sources of funding and liquidity gap, liquidity-supplying products such as commitment lines, as well as buffer assets that help maintain liquidity level.

Specifically, the Board of Directors, etc. provide the framework for liquidity risk management, operate businesses on various stages according to the urgency of funding needs and exercise management on each such stage. The department responsible for liquidity risk management is designed to perform checking functions independent of other departments. The department reports to the ALM Committee and the Board of Directors the results of its activities such as evaluation of funding urgency and monitoring of compliance with quantitative limits. The department responsible for funding management performs funding and management activities, and regularly reports the current funding status and forecast as well as the current liquidity risk status to the department responsible for liquidity risk management and other appropriate bodies such as the ALM Committee.

Supplementary explanation regarding the fair value, etc. of financial instruments

Since certain assumptions are applied in measuring the fair value of financial instruments, such fair value may vary if different assumptions are applied.

  II.

Matters concerning fair value of financial instruments and breakdown by imput level

The amounts on the consolidated balance sheet and the fair value of financial instruments as well as the difference between them are as follows.

The following tables do not include investment trusts and stocks with no market price, etc. for which transitional measures are applied in accordance with Paragraph 26 of ASBJ Guidance No. 31, “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (“Guidance for Application of Fair Value Measurement”), and investments in partnerships and others for which transitional measures are applied in accordance with Paragraph 27 of Guidance for Application of Fair Value Measurement. (See Note (*2) to each of the tables in (1) and (Note 3) below.)

The fair values of financial instruments are classified into the following three levels depending on the observability and significance of the input used in the fair value calculation.

Level 1: Fair value determined based on the (unadjusted) quoted price in an active market for the same asset or liability

Level 2: Fair value determined based on directly or indirectly observable inputs other than the Level 1 inputs

Level 3: Fair value determined based on significant unobservable inputs

Where multiple inputs are used with a significant impact on the fair value calculation, the fair value of a financial instrument is classified based on the lowest of the priority levels to which any of those inputs belongs.

(Note 1)

Description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value

Monetary claims bought

The fair value of monetary claims bought are determined using prices obtained from third-party vendors (broker-dealers, etc.) or the prices estimated based on internal models.

With respect to some securitized products backed by general corporate loans, the fair value is measured by weighing the estimated fair value amounts determined using projected cash flows through an analysis of underlying loans, probability of default, prepayment rates, etc. and discounting the cash flows using discount rate reflecting the liquidity premium based on historical market data and the prices from the independent broker-dealers. These products are classified into Level 3.

For other securitized products, the fair value is determined based on the prices obtained from independent third parties after considering the result of periodic confirmation of the current status of these products, including price comparison with similar products, time series data comparison of the same product, and analysis of consistency with publicly available market indices. These products are classified into Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the inputs used for the prices obtained from independent third parties. For certain monetary claims bought for which these methods do not apply, the fair value is measured based on either present value using projected future cash flows through the prepayment rates, etc., and discounting at the market interest rate as of the valuation date with certain adjustments or carrying amount as the fair value approximates such carrying amount from their qualitative viewpoint. If these monetary claims bought are measured at present value, these monetary claims bought are classified into Level 2 or, if they are short-term and their fair value approximates the carrying amount, then the carrying amount is presented as their fair value, and they are classified into Level 3.

Trading assets

Securities such as bonds that are held for trading purposes are classified as Level 1 if prices quoted by stock exchanges are available in active market, and as Level 2 if the fair value are determined based on either the present value of the expected future cash flow discounted at an interest rate based on the market interest rate as of the date of evaluation with certain adjustments or prices quoted by the financial institutions from which these securities are purchased.

Money held in trust

For securities that are part of trust property in an independently managed monetary trust with the primary purpose to manage securities, the fair value is determined based on the price quoted by the financial institutions from which these securities are purchased, and these securities are classified into Level 2 depending on the fair value hierarchy of the component assets.

See “Money Held in Trust” for notes on money held in trust by categories based on each purpose of holding the money held in trust.

Securities

The fair value of equity securities is determined based on the price quoted by stock exchanges and equity securities are primarily classified into Level 1 as the quoted prices are available in active market. The fair value of bonds is determined based on the market price or by the financial institutions from which they are purchased or based on the price reasonably calculated. The bond such as government bonds are classified into Level 1 and other bonds are classified into Level 2.

For privately placed guaranteed bonds held by MUFG’s bank or trust subsidiaries, the fair value is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flow, which is adjusted to reflect credit risk, amount to be collected from collateral and guarantees and guarantee fees, and discounted at an interest rate based on the market interest rate as of the date of evaluation with certain adjustments. These bonds are classified into Level 2 depending on credit risk, etc.

The fair value of floating rate Japanese government bonds is determined based on the present value as calculated by discounting the expected future cash flow, estimated based on factors such as the yield of government bonds and discounted at a rate based on such yield of government bonds adjusted for the value of embedded options and the liquidity premium based on the actual market premiums observed in the past and these Japanese government bonds are classified into Level 2.

The fair value of investment trusts is determined based on the publicly available price and these investment trusts are not classified into any fair value hierarchy applying the transitional measures in accordance with Paragraph 26 of Guidance for Application of Fair Value Measurement.

See “Securities” for notes on securities by categories based on each purpose of holding the securities.

 

–50–


Loans and bills discounted

With respect to loans, for each category of loans based on types of loans, credit ratings and maturity period, the fair value is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flow, which is adjusted to reflect default risk and the expected amount to be collected from collateral and guarantees and discounted at an interest rate based on the market interest rate as of the date of evaluation with certain adjustments. These loans are classified into Level 3. For loans with floating interest rates such as certain residential loans provided to individual home owners, the carrying amount is presented as the fair value, as the fair value approximates such carrying amount, unless the creditworthiness of the borrower has changed significantly since the loan origination. These loans are classified as Level 3.

For receivables from bankrupt, virtually bankrupt and likely to become bankrupt borrowers, credit loss is estimated based on factors such as the present value of expected future cash flow or the expected amount to be collected from collateral and guarantees. Since the fair value of these items approximates the net amount of receivables after the deduction of allowance for credit losses on the consolidated balance sheet as of the consolidated balance sheet date, such amount is presented as the fair value. These receivables are classified into Level 3. The fair value of loans qualifying for special hedge accounting treatment of interest rate swaps or designation of forward exchange contracts and other contracts under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Japan (“JGAAP”) reflects the fair value of such interest rate swaps or forward exchange contracts and other contracts.

Deposits and Negotiable certificates of deposit

For demand deposits, the amount payable on demand as of the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e., the carrying amount) is considered to be the fair value. For floating rate time deposits, the carrying amount is presented as the fair value, as the fair value approximates such carrying amount because the market interest rate is reflected in such deposits within a short time period. The fair value of most of fixed rate time deposits is the present value discounted by expected future cash flow grouped by certain maturity periods. The discount rate used is the interest rate that would be applied to newly accepted deposits. These are classified into Level 2.

Borrowed money

For floating rate borrowings, the carrying amount is presented as the fair value, as the fair value approximates such carrying amount. This is on the basis that the interest rate of such floating rate borrowings reflects the market interest rate in a short time and that there has been no significant change in MUFG’s or MUFG’s consolidated subsidiaries’ creditworthiness after such borrowings were made. For fixed rate borrowings, the fair value is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flow from these borrowings grouped by certain maturity periods, which is discounted at an interest rate generally applicable to similar borrowings reflecting the premium applicable to MUFG’s or MUFG’s consolidated subsidiaries. These are classified as Level 2. The fair value of borrowed money qualifying for special hedge accounting treatment of interest rate swaps or designation of forward exchange contracts and other contracts under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Japan (“JGAAP”) reflects the fair value of such interest rate swaps or forward exchange contracts and other contracts.

Bonds payable

The fair value of corporate bonds issued by MUFG and MUFG’s consolidated subsidiaries is determined based on their market price. For certain corporate bonds, the fair value is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flow discounted at an interest rate generally applicable to issuance of similar corporate bonds. For floating rate corporate bonds without market prices, the carrying amount of such bonds is presented as the fair value, as the fair value approximates such carrying amount. This is on the basis that the interest rate of such floating rate corporate bonds reflects the market interest rate in a short time and that there has been no significant change in MUFG’s or MUFG’s consolidated subsidiaries’ creditworthiness after the issuance. For fixed rate corporate bonds, the fair value is the present value of expected future cash flow from these borrowings, which is discounted at an interest rate generally applicable to similar borrowings reflecting the premium applicable to MUFG or MUFG’s consolidated subsidiaries. These are classified as Level 2. The fair value of corporate bonds qualifying for special hedge accounting treatment of interest rate swaps under JGAAP reflects the fair value of such interest rate swaps.

Structured bonds issued by some overseas subsidiaries applied fair value option and the fair value of structured bonds is calculated based on the model. Structured bonds used observable inputs are classified into Level 2. Structured bonds used significant unobservable inputs are classified into Level 3.

 

–51–


Derivative transactions

Derivative transactions are ones involving interest rates (interest futures, interest options, interest swaps and other transactions), ones involving foreign currencies (currency futures, currency options, currency swaps and other transactions), and ones involving bonds (bond futures, bond future options and other transactions). The fair value of exchange-traded derivative transactions is based on the price posted by exchanges. The fair value of over-the-counter derivative transactions is based on the discounted present value or amount calculated under the option-price calculation model.

The key inputs used in the valuation techniques for over-the-counter derivative transactions includes such as interest rate yield curve, foreign currency exchange rate and volatility. For over-the-counter traded derivative transactions, adjustments are made for counterparty credit risk adjustments (credit valuation adjustments:CVA) and adjustments to reflect the impact of uncollateralized funding (funding valuation adjustments: FVA). The calculation of CVA takes into account probability of default event occurring for each counterparty which is primarily derived from observed or estimated spread on credit default swaps.

In addition, the calculation of CVA takes into account the effect of credit risk mitigation such as pledged collateral and the legal right of offset with the counterparty.

The calculation of FVA takes into account the MUFG’s market funding spread reflecting the credit risk of MUFG and the funding exposure of any uncollateralized component of the over-the-counter derivative instrument.

Exchange-traded derivative transactions valued using quoted prices are classified into Level 1. Over-the-counter derivative transactions are classified into Level 2 if they do not used significant unobservable inputs. Over-the-counter derivative transactions used significant unobservable inputs are classified into Level 3.

Description of the fair value valuation process

At MUFG, the middle division establishes policies and procedures for the calculation of fair value and procedures for the use of fair value valuation models, and the front division develops fair value valuation models in accordance with such policies and procedures. The middle division verifies such models, the inputs used and the fair values obtained through calculation to ensure compatibility with the policies and procedures. In addition, based on the results of such verification, the middle division determines appropriate fair value input level classifications. In the event that market prices obtained from third parties are used as fair values, they are verified through appropriate methods such as confirming the valuation techniques and inputs used and comparing them with the fair values of similar financial instruments.

 

  (3)

Description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in significant unobservable inputs

Probability of default

Probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood that the default event will occur and MUFG will be unable to collect the contractual amounts. A significant increase (decrease) in the default rate would result in a significant decrease (increase) in a fair value.

Recovery rate and Prepayment rate

Recovery rate is the proportion of the total outstanding balance of a bond or loan that is expected to be collected in a liquidation scenario. Prepayment rate represents the proportion of principal that is expected to be paid prematurely in each period on a security or pool of securities. Recovery rate and prepayment rate would affect estimation of future cash flows to a certain extent and changes in these inputs could result in a significant increase or decrease in fair value.

Market-required return on capital

Market-required return on capital is the return on capital expected by the secondary market. A significant increase (decrease) in the market-required return on capital would result in a significant decrease (increase) in a fair value of a financial asset.

Discount factor and liquidity premium

Discount factor and liquidity premium are adjustments to discount rates to reflect uncertainty of cash flows and liquidity of the financial instruments.

When recent prices of similar instruments are unobservable in inactive or less active markets, discount rates are adjusted based on the facts and circumstances of the markets including the availability of quotes and the time since the latest available quotes. A significant increase (decrease) in discount rate would result in a significant decrease (increase) in a fair value.

Volatility

Volatility is a measure of the speed and severity of market price changes and is a key factor in pricing. A significant increase (decrease) in volatility would cause a significant increase (decrease) in the value of an option resulting in the significant increase (decrease) in fair value. The level of volatility generally depends on the tenor of the underlying assets and the strike price or level defined in the contract. Volatilities for certain combinations of tenor and strike price are not observable.

Correlation

Correlation is a measure of the relationship between the movements of two variables (i.e. how the change in one variable influences a change in the other variables). A variety of correlation-related assumptions are required for a wide range of instruments including foreign government and official institution bonds, asset-backed securities, corporate bonds, derivatives and certain other financial instruments. In most cases, correlations used are not observable in the market and must be estimated using historical information. Changes in correlation inputs can have a major impact, favorable or unfavorable, on the value of an instrument, depending on its nature. In addition, the wide range of correlation inputs are primarily due to the complex and unique nature of these instruments. There are many different types of correlation inputs, including cross-asset correlation (such as correlation between interest rate and equity) and same-asset correlation (such as correlation between interest rates). Correlation levels are highly dependent on market conditions and could have a relatively wide range of levels within or across asset classes. For interest rate contracts and foreign exchange contracts, the diversity in the portfolio held by MUFG is reflected in wide ranges of correlation, as the fair values of transactions with a variety of currencies and tenors are determined using several foreign exchange and interest rate curves. For equity derivative contracts, the wide range of correlation between interest rate and equity is primarily due to the large number of correlation pairs with different maturities of contracts.

Term of litigation

Term of litigation is the estimated period until the resolution of a certain litigation matter that relates to an issuer’s restricted shares (“Covered Litigation”) that MUFG purchased, which is referenced in certain swap transactions. These swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow methodology and are dependent upon the final resolution of the Covered Litigation.

The settlement timing of the Covered Litigation is not observable in the market, therefore the estimated term is classified as a level 3 input. The restricted shares which MUFG purchased will be convertible to listed shares of the issuer at the end of the Covered Litigation. The restricted shares will be diluted depending upon the settlement amount of the Covered Litigation and the dilution of the restricted shares is accomplished through an adjustment to the conversion rate of the restricted shares. In order to hedge the reduction of the conversion rate, MUFG entered into certain swaps with the seller which references the conversion rate. The value generated by these trades is subject to the ultimate term of the issuer’s litigation, subject to a minimum term referenced within the trade contracts.

  V.

Securities reclassified due to change of purpose in holding such securities

As of March 31, 2019

An overseas subsidiary whose fiscal year end is December 31 reclassified its securitized products of ¥213,512 million at fair value which had been previously classified as “Available-for-sale securities” to “Debt securities being held to maturity” during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320 Investments — Debt Securities” released by the FASB. This change was made because management of the subsidiary considered it to be more appropriate to classify these securities as “Debt securities being held to maturity” as it has the ability and intent to hold them to maturity.

The securities of PT Bank Danamon Indonesia, Tbk. which had been previously held as “Available-for-sale securities” was reclassified to “Investment in affiliates” (amount on the consolidated balance sheet was ¥263,021 million) because PT Bank Danamon Indonesia, Tbk. was newly included in the scope of application of the equity method due to additional share acquisition during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

As of March 31, 2020

An overseas subsidiary whose fiscal year end is December 31 reclassified its securitized products of ¥18,606 million which had been previously classified as “Debt securities being held to maturity” to “Available-for-sale securities” during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 in accordance with (ASC) 320 “Investments — Debt Securities” released by the FASB. This change was made as a result of application of the transition election of the updated (ASC) 815 “Derivatives and hedging.”

 

  VI.

Securities with impairment losses

Securities other than those held for trading purposes and investment in affiliates (excluding certain equity securities with no quoted market price available and investments in partnerships and others) are subject to write-downs when their fair value significantly declines and it is determined as of the end of the reporting period that it is not probable that the value will recover to the acquisition cost. In such case, the fair value is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the fair value and the acquisition cost is recognized as losses for the reporting period (referred to as “impairment losses”).

Impairment losses on such securities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 were ¥10,755 million consisting of ¥9,549 million on equity securities and ¥1,205 million on bonds and other securities.

Impairment losses on such securities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 were ¥57,525 million consisting of ¥57,267 million on equity securities and ¥258 million on bonds and other securities.

Whether there is any “significant decline in the fair value” is determined for each category of issuers in accordance with the internal standards for self-assessment of asset quality as provided below:

Bankrupt issuers, virtually bankrupt issuers and likely to become bankrupt issuers:

The fair value is lower than acquisition cost.

Issuers requiring close watch:

The fair value has declined 30% or more from acquisition cost.

Normal issuers:

The fair value has declined 50% or more from acquisition cost.

“Bankrupt issuers” means issuers who have entered into bankruptcy, special liquidation proceedings or similar legal proceedings or whose notes have been dishonored and suspended from processing through clearing houses. “Virtually bankrupt issuers” means issuers who are not legally or formally bankrupt but are regarded as substantially in similar condition. “Likely to become bankrupt issuers” means issuers who are not yet legally or formally bankrupt but deemed to have a high possibility of becoming bankrupt. “Issuers requiring close watch” means issuers who are financially weak and are under close monitoring by our subsidiaries.

“Normal issuers” means issuers other than those who are classified in the four categories of issuers mentioned above.

  (Note)

Changes in presentation

“Expiration of tax loss carryforwards” and “Amortization of goodwill” which were included in “Other” as of March 31, 2019 are reported as separate line-items as of March 31, 2020 due to their increased significance. In order to apply these changes in presentation, the information in this Note 16 as of March 31, 2019 has been reclassified.

As a result, the percentage which was presented as “Other” as of March 31, 2019 equal to 1.08% has been reclassified into “Expiration of tax loss carryforwards” of 1.75%, “Amortization of goodwill” of 0.46%, and “Other” of (1.13)%.

Accordingly, MUFG has adopted customer-based and business-based segmentation, which consists of the following reporting segments: Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group, Japanese Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group, Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group, Global Commercial Banking Business Group, Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group, Global Markets Business Group and Other.

(2)

Methods of calculation of net revenue and operating profit (loss) for each reporting segment

The accounting methods applied to the reported business segments, except the scope of consolidation, are generally consistent with the methods described in “Significant Accounting Policies Applied in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements”. The scope of consolidation includes MUFG’s major subsidiaries. The reported figures are generally prepared based on internal managerial accounting rules before elimination of inter-segment transactions and other consolidation adjustments. Net revenues and operating expenses attributable to multiple segments are reported in accordance with internal managerial accounting rules generally calculated based on market value.

 

  (a)

Changes in the method of calculation of operating profit (loss) of each reporting segment

Starting in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, MUFG changed the method of allocation of net revenue and operating expenses among reporting segments and accordingly changed the method of calculation of operating profit (loss) of each reporting segment.

The business segment information for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 has been restated based on the new calculation method.
