English Translation of Excerpts from Quarterly Securities Report Filed in Japan

This document is an English translation of selected information included in the Quarterly Securities Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 filed by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (“MUFG” or “we”) with the Kanto Local Financial Bureau, the Ministry of Finance of Japan, on November 29, 2021 (the “Quarterly Securities Report”). An English translation of certain information included in the Quarterly Securities Report was previously submitted in a report on Form 6-K dated November 15, 2021. Accordingly, this document should be read together with the previously submitted report.

The Quarterly 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 Quarterly 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 Quarterly 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 Quarterly Securities Report disclosure, please see our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and other reports filed with or submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by MUFG.

The following disclosure contains forward-looking statements, which, unless specifically stated otherwise, reflects our understanding as of the date of filing of the Quarterly Securities Report. Actual results may significantly differ from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In addition, although the Risk Committee identified the top risks below, there may be other material risks that emerge as we operate our businesses.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We describe below some major developments and changes to update our risk factor disclosure previously included in our annual securities report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 filed in Japan on June 29, 2021. The updates below are not a complete update of the prior disclosure, but instead intended to explain only the significant developments and changes that we believe may have a material impact on the risks to our business and other risks. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements, which, unless specifically described otherwise, reflect our understanding as of the date of filing of the Quarterly Securities Report.

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 October 2021 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 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.

 

*

These risk events are among the risk events that were reported to MUFG’s Board of Directors following the Risk Committee’s discussion in October 2021. These risk events include risk events of general applicability.

15.

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 included remedial terms and conditions that were 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 July 2021, the OCC terminated the November 2017 consent order pertaining to MUFG Bank’s compliance with OFAC sanctions requirements.

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 order.

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, including potential additional regulatory actions against us, agreements to make significant additional settlement payments, may result in significant adverse financial and other consequences to us.

 

22.

Risks relating to the sale of MUFG Union Bank, N.A.

MUFG and MUFG Bank, a core banking subsidiary of MUFG, announced on September 21, 2021 that we agreed with U.S. Bancorp (USB) to the sale of all shares in MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (MUB), MUFG’s subsidiary owned through MUFG Americas Holdings, and have entered into a Share Purchase Agreement.

Although the transfer of the MUB shares (the Share Transfer) is expected to be effective in the first half of calendar year 2022, the completion of the Share Transfer is subject to certain conditions precedent, including the approval from relevant regulators. If these conditions precedent are not satisfied or if there is any unexpected delay in satisfaction of these conditions precedent, the Share Transfer may not be completed as we currently expect.

The MUB businesses that MUFG will transfer to USB through the Share Transfer exclude the GCIB (Global Corporate & Investment Banking) business, the Global Markets business to the extent related to the GCIB business (transactions with clients and investors) that is currently run by MUB, and certain assets and liabilities, etc. that are part of shared middle and back office functions, etc. Such businesses, and the customer assets and liabilities, etc. related to these businesses (including related transactions with such customers), are planned to be transferred to MUFG Bank’s U.S. branches or affiliates prior to the Share Transfer. In addition, both MUFG and USB plan to enter into a Transitional Service Agreement (TSA) and a Reverse Transitional Service Agreement (RTSA) with an aim for both companies to be able to collaborate to smoothly continue MUB’s current customer transactions by MUB and/or MUFG Bank even after the Transaction and to provide even higher quality financial services. These planned business transfer and provision of services under the TSA and the RTSA are expected to require implementation of multiple complex measures in a short period of time and, especially with respect to systems, require, among other things, provision of assistance to USB in integrating certain systems and preparation for sharing certain systems with USB. These requirements are expected to impose various burdens on the MUFG Group. Such burdens on the MUFG Group may be greater than currently expected due to unanticipated future developments.

If the Share Transfer is not completed as planned by MUFG, including for any of the reasons described above, or if our actual costs and other requirements in connection with the Share Transfer exceed our current expectations, our business strategies, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Significant Accounting Policies Applied to the Semi-Annual Consolidated Financial Statements

 

  I.

Scope of consolidation

 

  (1)

Number of consolidated subsidiaries: 250

Principal companies:

MUFG Bank, Ltd.

Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation

Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings Co., Ltd.

Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd.

ACOM CO., LTD.

 

  (a)

Changes in the scope of consolidation in the six months ended September 30, 2021

Mitsubishi UFJ Capital 8, Limited Partnership and two other companies were newly included in the scope of consolidation due to new establishment.

PT U Finance Indonesia and ten other companies were excluded from the scope of consolidation due to the sale of shares or other reasons.

 

  (2)

Non-consolidated subsidiaries:

 

  ACOM

(M) SDN. BHD.

ACOM (M) SDN. BHD. was excluded from the scope of consolidation due to its insignificance in light of its assets, ordinary income, net income (to the extent of MUFG’s equity position) and retained earnings (to the extent of MUFG’s equity position) and other factors. Its exclusion from the scope of consolidation would not impede reasonable judgment as to the financial condition or performance of the MUFG group.

 

  (3)

Entities not regarded as subsidiaries even though Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (“MUFG”) owns the majority of voting rights in its own account:

Hygeia Co., Ltd.

A&M Drug Development, LLC

OiDE BetaRevive, Inc.

ARM Drug Development G.K.

OiDE OptoEye,Inc.

HISHOH Biopharma Co., Ltd.

 

  (a)

Reasons for excluding from the scope of consolidation

These entities were not treated as subsidiaries because they were established as property management agents for land trust projects without any intent to control, or because MUFG’s consolidated venture capital subsidiaries owned the majority of voting rights primarily to benefit from the appreciation of their investments resulting from growth or restructuring of the investees’ businesses without any intent to control.

 

  II.

Application of the equity method

 

  (1)

Number of non-consolidated subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method: None

 

  (2)

Number of equity method affiliates: 53

Principal companies:

Mitsubishi HC Capital Inc.

Morgan Stanley

 

  (a)

Changes in the scope of application of the equity method in the six months ended September 30, 2021

Cotra Ltd. and one other company were newly included in the scope of application of the equity method due to new establishment.

Southern California Business Development Corporation was excluded from the scope of application of the equity method due to liquidation.

In addition, Hitachi Capital Corporation was excluded from the scope of application of the equity method due to an absorption-type merger with Mitsubishi UFJ Lease & Finance Company Limited.

Mitsubishi UFJ Lease & Finance Company Limited changed its company name to Mitsubishi HC Capital Inc. as of April 1, 2021.

 

5


  (3)

Number of non-consolidated subsidiaries not accounted for under the equity method:

ACOM (M) SDN. BHD.

ACOM (M) SDN. BHD. was excluded from the scope of application of the equity method due to its insignificance in light of its net income (to the extent of MUFG’s equity position) and retained earnings (to the extent of MUFG’s equity position) and other factors. Its exclusion from the scope of application of the equity method would not have a material effect on the semi-annual consolidated financial statements.

 

  (4)

Number of affiliates not accounted for under the equity method: None

 

  (5)

Entities not regarded as affiliates in which MUFG owns 20% to 50% of their voting rights in its own account:

Hirosaki Co., Ltd.

AKITAYA Co., Ltd.

Fun Place Co., Ltd.

Shonai Paradiso Co., LTD

Kamui Pharma Co., Ltd.

GEXVal Inc.

Reborna Biosciences, Inc.

Alchemedicine, Inc.

HuLa immune Inc.

Verification Technology, Inc.

DT Axis, Inc.

 

  (a)

Reasons for excluding from the scope of affiliates

These entities were not regarded as affiliates because MUFG’s consolidated venture capital subsidiaries owned 20% to 50% of voting rights primarily to benefit from the appreciation of their investments resulting from growth or restructuring of the investees’ businesses without any intent to control.

 

  III.

Semi-annual balance sheet dates of consolidated subsidiaries

 

  (1)

The semi-annual balance sheet dates of the consolidated subsidiaries were as follows:

 

The end of February:

         1 subsidiary   

The end of April:

         1 subsidiary   

The end of June:

     169 subsidiaries   

The end of September:

       77 subsidiaries   

The end of October:

         1 subsidiary   

The end of December:

         1 subsidiary   

 

  (2)

A subsidiary whose semi-annual balance sheet date is the end of February was consolidated based on its preliminary financial statements as of the end of August.

A subsidiary whose semi-annual balance sheet date is the end of April was consolidated based on its preliminary financial statements as of the end of July.

A subsidiary whose semi-annual balance sheet date is the end of October was consolidated based on its preliminary financial statements as of the end of June.

A subsidiary whose semi-annual balance sheet date is the end of December was consolidated based on its preliminary financial statements as of the end of June.

The remaining subsidiaries were consolidated based on their financial statements as of their respective semi-annual balance sheet dates.

Adjustments were made to the consolidated financial statements to reflect any significant transactions within the consolidated group that occurred between the semi-annual balance sheet dates of the relevant subsidiaries and the semi-annual consolidated balance sheet date.

  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, and is recorded by allocating the estimated annual depreciation amount evenly to each reporting period. 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 and other factors.

 

  (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.

 

7


  (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 term to maturity 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 the 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 and guarantees, which is deemed uncollectible, is written off. The total amount of write-offs was ¥278,747 million as of September 30, 2021 (¥298,281 million as of March 31, 2021).

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.

(Additional information)

(Allowance for credit losses of certain overseas subsidiaries which apply Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”))

Certain overseas subsidiaries which apply U.S. GAAP have adopted U.S. Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and provide for allowance for credit losses by estimating credit losses currently expected for the remaining term of the relevant contract. Expected credit losses are calculated collectively for each portfolio of loans with similar risk characteristics based on the loss rates derived from past credit loss experience or bankruptcy experience through the application of a model that incorporates future forecast information, such as macroeconomic variables, into the probability of bankruptcy, etc. In addition, adjustments are made in the calculation of allowance for credit losses for qualitative factors relating to current conditions and future forecasts which may not be sufficiently captured in such model but should be appropriately taken into account. Future uncertainties due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are factored into estimates for the credit loss provisioning through such adjustments based on macroeconomic variables and/or qualitative factors.

With respect to loan assets with deteriorated credit risk that are deemed not to entail risks in common with other loan assets, allowance for credit losses is recognized individually for each loan asset based on risks that are particular to the asset. This credit loss provisioning is done through certain methodologies, including calculating the difference between the carrying amount of the loan asset and the amount of estimated cash flows from the loan asset discounted by the effective interest rate as well as using the fair value of the collateral for the loan asset.

(Estimated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic relating to allowance for credit losses)

The process of calculating allowance for credit losses in our principal consolidated domestic banking subsidiaries involves various estimates such as determination of counterparty credit ratings which are based on evaluation and classification of counterparties’ debt-service capacity, assessment of the value of collateral provided by borrowers, and adjustments for future loss projections and other factors to the loss rates calculated based on historical credit loss experience.

Among these, internal credit ratings are assigned to counterparties based on qualitative factors such as the current and expected future business environment of the industry to which they belong as well as their management and funding risks in addition to quantitative financial evaluations through an analysis of their financial results. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the financial position and operating results of certain counterparties. Determination of internal credit ratings for these counterparties may be highly dependent on our assessment of the prospects of improvements in their operating results and their ability to continue as going concerns.

When calculating allowance for credit losses, MUFG Bank, Ltd., our principal consolidated domestic banking subsidiary, determines expected loss rates primarily by calculating a rate of loss based on a historical average of the credit loss rate or a historical average of the default probability derived from actual credit loss experience or actual bankruptcy experience and making necessary adjustments based on future projections and other factors. When making adjustments based on future loss projections and other factors to loss rates calculated based on historical loss experience, the subsidiary takes into account the rate of increase in the credit loss rate or the default probability in a more recent period, especially in light of the deterioration in the economic environment under the COVID-19 pandemic. The amount of impact of these adjustments was ¥5,148 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021 (¥30,846 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021).

In addition, certain overseas subsidiaries which apply U.S. GAAP have adopted ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” and provide for allowance for credit losses by estimating credit losses currently expected for the remaining term of the relevant contracts. Expected credit losses are calculated using a quantitative model that reflects economic forecast scenarios based on macroeconomic variables. The calculation process includes determination of macroeconomic variables used in multiple economic forecast scenarios and the weightings applied to each economic forecast scenario. Expected credit losses are adjusted for qualitative factors to compensate for expected credit losses that are not reflected in a quantitative model.

Significant assumptions used in our calculation of allowance for credit losses, including those described above, are subject to uncertainty. In particular, certain counterparties’ prospects of improvements in their operating results and expectations as to their ability to continue as going concerns, and adjustments to the rate of loss calculated based on actual experience for future projections and other factors, as well as determination of the macroeconomic variables used in, and the weightings applied to, multiple economic forecast scenarios, and adjustments thereto for qualitative factors, by certain subsidiaries which apply U.S. GAAP, are based on estimation relating to the economic environment, including the outlook relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, with respect to which objective data are not readily available. The outlook relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, which is expected to further impact our counterparties’ operating environment and the economic environment, remains subject to significant uncertainty. Accordingly, we make certain assumptions, including that the pace of future economic recovery would be generally gradual, although the pace may vary from country to country, as balancing economic activity and pandemic control continues. The recorded allowance for credit losses represents our best estimation made in a manner designed to ensure objectivity and rationality.

 

9


For the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, the assumptions for making estimates relating to allowance for credit losses remained substantially unchanged because the observable changes subsequent to the end of the previous fiscal year in the factors and circumstances underlying the assumptions were not sufficiently significant to cause such change in the assumptions. However, these assumptions are highly uncertain, and significant additional provision for credit losses may be recognized for the nine-month period ending December 31, 2021 and subsequent reporting periods due to developments affecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial performance of counterparties or on the economic environment.

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 six-month period ended September 30, 2021 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.

Revenue Recognition

 

  (a)

Revenue recognition

Revenues arising from contracts with customers are recognized in the consolidated statements of income based on the status of fulfillment of the performance obligations identified in each contract, depending on the actual nature of the transactions under the contract.

 

  (b)

Revenue Recognition for Principal Categories of Transactions

Revenue arising from contracts with customers is recognized using a method that is designed to closely reflect economic reality, with the timing of fulfillment of performance obligations, which is an important factor in determining the timing of revenue recognition, assessed as described below.

In most cases, the consideration for a transaction is settled in cash at the time of the transaction. In other cases, receivables recognized in connection with transactions are generally collected within one year.

Of the fees and commissions, those on remittances and transfers consist mainly of remittance and transfer fees and are recognized as revenue at the time of settlement.

Of the fees and commissions, those on deposits consist mainly of ATM usage fees and periodic account management service fees. ATM usage fees are recognized as revenue at the time of execution of transactions, and periodic account management service fees are recorded as revenue over the service period.

Of the fees and commissions, those on loans consist mainly of the consideration for administration and management services during the tenors of syndicated loans and the consideration for financial and financing advice to clients, and are recorded as revenue over the service period.

Of the fees and commissions, those on trust-related services consist mainly of the consideration for shareholder registry administration services for issuers of stocks, real estate brokerage and appraisal services, and succession services including preparation, maintenance and execution of wills and inheritance management. These fees and commissions are recognized as revenue at the time when the services are provided.

Of the fees and commissions, those on securities-related services consist mainly of fees related to sales and transfers of securities including investment trust, underwriting, brokerage and advisory services, fees related to securitization, and agent fees related to calculation and payment of dividends. Fees on securities-related services are recorded as revenue over the relevant service period. Fees arising from securities-related services that are consumed by a client at a point in time (e.g., sales and transfers of securities executed under the direction of clients, underwriting or securitization of bonds and equity securities which is completed on the date of the transaction, provision of advice to clients, and calculation and payment to investors of dividends) are recognized as revenue at such point in time. Fees arising from securities-related services that are used by a client at equal intervals over the service period (e.g., retainer fees for M&A advisory services) are recognized as revenue over such service period. Fees to be paid when a particular performance target is achieved (e.g., success fees for M&A advisory services) are recognized as revenue at the time when such performance target is achieved.

Of the fees and commissions, those on credit card business consist mainly of credit card merchant fees and royalty fees from franchised merchants. Merchant fees are recorded as revenue at the time when the credit sale data is received, and royalty fees from franchised merchants are recorded as revenue over the service period.

Of the fees and commissions, those on administration and management services for investment funds and investment advisory services arise mainly from asset management and investment advisory services and consist of asset management fees, success fees and investment advisory fees related to investment trusts. Asset management fees and investment advisory fees are recognized as revenue as MUFG’s performance obligations are satisfied over the service period in the amount MUFG is entitled to charge based on the balance of assets under management. Performance-based success fees are recognized as revenue at the time when performance targets are met and it is deemed highly likely that there will be no material reversal of the recognized revenue.

Trust fees consist mainly of fees on administration and management of trust assets and are recognized as revenue as MUFG’s performance obligations are satisfied over the service period in the amount MUFG is entitled to charge based generally on the balance of assets under management for each trust or the performance of each trust account for an accounting period.

 

  (16)

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 exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date, except for investments in non-consolidated affiliates which are translated into yen at exchange rates prevailing at the acquisition dates.

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

 

11


  (17)

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.”

 

  (18)

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, except for certain transactions qualifying for special hedge accounting treatment of interest rate swaps. Portfolio hedging or individual hedging, as described in the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“JICPA”) Industry Committee Practical Guidelines No. 24, “Treatment of Accounting and Auditing of Application of Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments in Banking Industry” (October 8, 2020), and JICPA Accounting Committee Report No. 14, “Practical Guidelines for Accounting for Financial Instruments” (January 31, 2000), is 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 Committee Practical Guidelines 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 Committee Practical Guidelines 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, except for certain transactions qualifying for the allocation method applicable to forward exchange contracts and other contracts. Portfolio hedging is applied to determine hedged items as described in JICPA Industry Committee Practical Guidelines No. 25 “Treatment of Accounting and Auditing concerning Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions in the Banking Industry” (October 8, 2020). Hedging instruments (e.g., currency swaps and forward exchange contracts) are designated to hedged items collectively by currencies.

Portfolio hedging or individual hedging is 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.

 

12


  (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 Committee Practical Guidelines No. 24 and No. 25 and are regarded as equivalent to external third-party cover transactions.

 

  (19)

Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows

Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows are defined as “Cash and due from banks” on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

  (20)

Consumption taxes

National and local consumption taxes are primarily excluded from transaction amounts of MUFG and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries. Non-deductible portions of consumption taxes on the purchases of tangible fixed assets are expensed when incurred.

 

  (21)

Adoption of consolidated taxation system

MUFG and some of its domestic consolidated subsidiaries have adopted the consolidated taxation system.

 

  (22)

Application of Tax Effect Accounting for the Transition from the Consolidated Taxation System to the Group Tax Sharing System

MUFG and some of its domestic consolidated subsidiaries do not apply Paragraph 44 of Accounting Standards Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Guidance No. 28, “Amendments to Accounting Standard for Tax Effect Accounting” (February 16, 2018), to items revised under the stand-alone taxation system in connection with the transition from the consolidated taxation system to the group tax sharing system under the “Partial Amendments to Income Tax Act, etc.” (Act No. 8, March 31, 2020) due to the application of Paragraph 3 of ASBJ Practical Issues Task Force Report No. 39, “Practical Solution on the Treatment of Tax Effect Accounting for the Transition from the Consolidated Taxation System to the Group Tax Sharing System” (March 31, 2020), and instead apply the pre-amendment income tax provisions to the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities.

 

  (23)

Accounting of bills discounted and rediscounted

Bills discounted and rediscounted are accounted for as financial trading in accordance with JICPA Industry Committee Practical Guidelines No. 24.

 

  (24)

Accounting standards for foreign subsidiaries

If the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) or the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), such financial statements are used in the consolidated accounting process.

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 Revisions to Accounting Standards, etc.)

(Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition)

Accounting Standard Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Statement No. 29, “Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” (ASBJ, March 30, 2018), and ASBJ Guidance No. 30, “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” (ASBJ, March 30, 2018), are applied from the beginning of the six months ended September 30, 2021. Under these accounting standards, revenue is recognized in an amount expected to be received in exchange for goods or services when control of promised goods or services is transferred to a customer. A primary change resulting from the application of these accounting standards relates to revenue from annual membership fees recorded as income from the credit card business. Such revenue was previously recognized when received from customers but is currently recognized over the period in which the services are provided.

In accordance with the transitional measures set forth in the proviso in paragraph 84 of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, the cumulative effect of retroactively applying the new accounting policy to reporting periods prior to the beginning of the six months ended September 30, 2021 was recognized as adjustments to retained earnings at the beginning of the six months ended September 30, 2021, and the new accounting policy is applied from the beginning of the six months ended September 30, 2021 as a change in MUFG’s accounting policies. However, due to application of the method set forth in paragraph 86 of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, the new accounting policy was not retroactively applied to a contract for which substantially all of the revenue had been recognized in accordance with the previous accounting treatment prior to the beginning of the six months ended September 30, 2021.

As a result, at the beginning of the six months ended September 30, 2021, retained earnings decreased by ¥6,617 million. The impact on each of fees and commissions income, ordinary profits, profits before income taxes and per share information for the six months ended September 30, 2021 is not significant.

In accordance with the transitional measures set forth in paragraph 89-3 of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, information on breakdowns of revenues from contracts with customers for the six months ended September 30, 2020 is not disclosed.

(Changes in Presentation of Financial Information)

From the beginning of the six months ended September 30, 2021, expenses related to credit cards, which were previously recorded as general and administrative expenses, are recorded as fees and commissions expenses.

This reflects the change made in the presentation of expenses corresponding to income related to credit cards, which is recorded as fees and commissions income, as a result of a review of fees and commissions income that was conducted in connection with the adoption of ASBJ Statement No.29, “Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” and ASBJ Guidance No.30, “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” from the beginning of the six months ended September 30, 2021, to disclose financial information in a manner that more closely reflects the actual economic situation.

In order to reflect this change in the presentation of the financial information, the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2020, have been retroactively restated.

As a result, fees and commissions expenses of ¥107,688 million and general and administrative expenses of ¥1,374,768 million previously presented in the consolidated statement of income for the six months ended September 30, 2020 have been restated, resulting in the current presentation of fees and commissions expenses of ¥142,852 million and general and administrative expenses of ¥1,339,604 million.

(Additional Information)

(Major overseas subsidiaries’ total credit costs which are expected to be reflected in MUFG’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022)

Major overseas subsidiaries which were consolidated based on their financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 adopted ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” the new guidance that introduced the concept of current expected credit loss, as of the beginning of the first quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. As a result, these subsidiaries record provision for allowance for credit losses by taking into account certain forecasted information such as macroeconomic indicators.

Under the new guidance, it is currently estimated that the subsidiaries will record gains of approximately ¥30 billion in total for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The estimate includes gains on reversal of allowance for credit losses related to the loans held for sale subject to valuation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310 “Receivables” released by the FASB, as MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (“MUAH”), a consolidated subsidiary of MUFG, has entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with U.S. Bancorp (“USB”) to sell all of the shares in MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (“MUB”) held by MUAH. Further details of the planned sale are described in “17. Subsequent Events” below. The subsidiaries’ total gains will be reflected in MUFG’ s consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ending December 31, 2021.

Total credit costs include credit costs for trust accounts, provision for general allowance for credit losses, losses on loan write-offs, provision for specific allowance for credit losses, other credit costs, reversal of allowance for credit losses, reversal of reserve for contingent losses included in credit costs and gains on loans written-off.

In addition, most of these contracts include clauses that allow MUFG’s consolidated subsidiaries to decline a borrower’s request for disbursement or decrease contracted limits for cause, such as changes in financial market condition or deterioration in a borrower’s creditworthiness. MUFG’s consolidated subsidiaries may request a borrower to pledge real property and/or securities as collateral upon signing of a contract and will perform periodic monitoring on a borrower’s business condition in accordance with internal procedures, which may lead to renegotiation of the terms and conditions of the contracts and/or initiation of a request for additional collateral and/or guarantees.

The total excess from revaluation, net of income taxes corresponding to the excess that were recognized as “Deferred tax liabilities for land revaluation,” is stated as “Land revaluation excess” in net assets.

Domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries: March 31, 1998.

Domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries: March 31, 1998, December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002.

The method of revaluation as set forth in Article 3, Paragraph 3 of the Land Revaluation Law:

Fair values are determined based on (1) “published land price under the Land Price Publication Law” stipulated in Article 2-1 of the “Enforcement Ordinance of the Law concerning Revaluation of Land” (“Ordinance”) (No. 119, March 31, 1998), (2) “standard land price determined on measurement spots under the Enforcement Ordinance of the National Land Planning Law” stipulated in Article 2-2 of the “Ordinance,” (3) “land price determined by the method established and published by the Director General of the National Tax Agency in order to calculate land value that is used for determining taxable amounts subject to landholding tax articulated in Article 16 of the Landholding Tax Law” stipulated in Article 2-4 of the “Ordinance” with price adjustments by shape and time and (4) appraisal by certified real estate appraisers stipulated in Article 2-5 of the “Ordinance” with price adjustments for time.

Contingent liabilities

(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.

Financial Instruments

 

I.

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

The amounts on the consolidated balance sheet, the fair value of financial instruments, the difference between them as well as a breakdown of financial instruments by input level 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” (ASBJ, July 4, 2019, “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 the 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 (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

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 is 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 considering the estimated fair value amounts determined using projected cash flows through an analysis of the underlying loans, probability of default, prepayment rates, etc. and discounting the projected cash flows using discount rates reflecting the liquidity premium based on historical market data and the prices obtained from 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 results 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 the present value using projected future cash flows through an analysis of prepayment rates, etc., and discounting the project cash flows at the market interest rates as of the valuation date with certain adjustments, or is the carrying amount if their 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 an active market, and as Level 2 if the fair value is determined based on either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at an interest rate based on the market interest rates 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 prices 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 category based on each purpose of holding the money held in trust.

Securities

The fair value of equity securities is determined based on the prices quoted by stock exchanges and equity securities are primarily classified into Level 1 as the quoted prices are available in active markets. The fair value of bonds is determined based on the market price or the price quoted by the financial institutions from which they are purchased or based on the price reasonably calculated using internal models. Government bonds are primarily classified into Level 1, other bonds are primarily classified into Level 2, and preferred securities included in Other securities are primarily classified into Level 3.

For privately placed guaranteed bonds held by MUFG’s bank subsidiaries, the fair value is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows, which are adjusted to reflect credit risk, the amounts expected to be collected from collateral and guarantees and guarantee fees, and discounted at an interest rate based on the market interest rates 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 flows, which are 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. 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 as a result of applying the transitional measures in accordance with Paragraph 26 of the Guidance for Application of Fair Value Measurement.

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

 

31


Loans and bills discounted

With respect to loans, for each category of loans based on their types, credit ratings and maturity periods, the fair value is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows, which are adjusted to reflect default risk and the amount expected to be collected from collateral and guarantees and discounted at an interest rate based on the market interest rates 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 flows or the amount expected 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 the allocation method applicable to 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 rates are reflected in such deposits within a short time period. The fair value of most fixed rate time deposits is the present value of expected future cash flows grouped by certain maturity periods discounted at the market interest rates. 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 rates on such floating rate borrowings reflect the market interest rates in a short time period and that there has been no significant change in the creditworthiness of MUFG or MUFG’s consolidated subsidiaries after such borrowings were made. For fixed rate borrowings, the fair value is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows from these borrowings grouped by certain maturity periods, which are discounted at the market interest rates 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 under JGAAP reflects the fair value of such interest rate swaps.

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 flows discounted at the market interest rates. 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 rates on such floating rate corporate bonds reflect the market interest rates in a short time period and that there has been no significant change in the creditworthiness of MUFG’s or MUFG’s consolidated subsidiaries after the issuance. For fixed rate corporate bonds without market prices, the fair value is the present value of expected future cash flows from these borrowings, which are discounted at the market interest rates 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.

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

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 prices 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 include interest rate yield curves, foreign currency exchange rates and volatility. For over-the-counter derivative transactions, adjustments are made for counterparty credit risk adjustments (credit valuation adjustments (CVA)) and adjustments are also made to reflect the impact of uncollateralized funding (funding valuation adjustments (FVA)). The calculation of CVA takes into account the probability of a default event occurring for each counterparty which is primarily derived from an 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 MUFG’s market funding spread reflecting the credit risk of MUFG and the funding exposure of any uncollateralized component of an over-the-counter derivative instrument entered into with the counterparty.

Exchange-traded derivative transactions valued using quoted prices are classified into Level 1. Over-the-counter derivative transactions are classified into Level 2 if their fair value is not measured based on significant unobservable inputs. Over-the-counter derivative transactions whose fair value is measured based on 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.

 

(4)

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 the fair value of a financial asset.

Liquidity premium

Liquidity premium is an adjustment 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 rates 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 a 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.

 

38


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.

III.

Securities with impairment losses

Securities other than those held for trading purposes and investments 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, 2021 were ¥1,184 million consisting of ¥1,033 million on equity securities and ¥150 million on bonds and other securities.

Impairment losses on such securities for the six months ended September 30, 2021 were ¥1,618 million consisting of ¥1,581 million on equity securities and ¥37 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 the acquisition cost.

Issuers requiring close watch:

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

Normal issuers:

The fair value has declined 50% or more from the 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 categorized in the four categories of issuers mentioned above.

Business segment information

 

(1)

Summary of reporting segments

MUFG’s reporting segments are business units of MUFG which its Executive Committee, the decision-making body for the execution of its business operations, regularly reviews to make decisions regarding allocation of management resources and evaluate performance.

MUFG makes and executes unified group-wide strategies based on customer characteristics and the nature of business.

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

 

Digital Service Business Group:    Providing financial services mainly in non-face-to-face transactions to individual and corporate customers, and promoting MUFG-wide digital transformation
Retail & Commercial Banking
Business Group:
   Providing services relating to finance, real estate and stock transfers to Japanese individual and corporate customers
Japanese Corporate & Investment
Banking Business Group:
   Providing services relating to finance, real estate and stock transfers to large Japanese corporate customers
Global Commercial Banking
Business Group:
   Providing financial services to individual and small to medium sized corporate customers of overseas commercial bank investees of MUFG
Asset Management & Investor
Services Business Group:
   Providing asset management and administration services to domestic and overseas investor and asset manager customers
Global Corporate & Investment
Banking Business Group:
   Providing financial services to large non-Japanese corporate customers
Global Markets Business Group:    Providing services relating to foreign currency exchange, funds and investment securities to customers, as well as conducting market transactions and managing liquidity and cash for MUFG
Other:    Other than the businesses mentioned above

 

  (a)

Changes in reporting segments

MUFG has reorganized its business groups (previously consisting of 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) in light of changes in the business environment, including the digital shift in society, under the medium-term business plan that was commenced in the six months ended September 30, 2021 and changed its reporting segments to the current segmentation based on the reorganized business groups.

The business segment information for the six months ended September 30, 2020 has been restated to reflect the foregoing changes in the reporting segments.

(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 to the Semi-Annual 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

From the six months ended September 30, 2021, MUFG has changed the method of allocation of net revenue and operating expenses among reporting segments and has accordingly changed the method of calculation of operating profit (loss) of each reporting segment.

The business segment information for the six months ended September 30, 2020 has been restated based on the new calculation method.

In addition, as described in “Changes in Presentation of Financial Information” above, expenses related to credit cards, which were previously recorded as general and administrative expenses, are recorded as fees and commissions expenses. Accordingly, the business segment information for the six months ended September 30, 2020 has also been retroactively restated to reflect this change.

Subsequent Events

(Agreement for the Sale of MUFG Union Bank, and Transfer of Certain Businesses of MUFG Union Bank)

On September 21, 2021, MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (“MUAH”), a subsidiary of MUFG whose financial statements as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 have been consolidated with MUFG’s financial statements included in this report, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with U.S. Bancorp (“USB”) to sell all of the shares in MUFG Union Bank, N.A.

Description of the businesses to be divested

Retail and Commercial Banking businesses of MUB

 

  (c)

Main objectives of the business divestiture

MUFG has viewed the U.S. regional banking business as an important business for the group’s strategy. At the same time, given MUB’s current business environment, including the need for increased technology investments as part of digital transformation, a certain scale is required to maintain and strengthen MUB’s competitiveness.

Under these circumstances, MUFG concluded that transferring MUB to USB, a major U.S. bank with a strong business foundation, is the most appropriate decision that is expected to lead to providing higher quality financial services to customers and communities and unlock MUB’s potential franchise value. From the perspective of MUFG’s optimization of management resources under the current medium-term business plan, MUFG determined that the sale of MUB and the shift of focus to corporate transactions in the United States are expected to maximize shareholder value through an increase in capital efficiency.
