By doing that, we continue to improve on what we do best: helping consumers live their financial lives and helping businesses grow and employ more people." — Brian Moynihan, Chief Executive Officer

With the approval to exit parallel run, Bank of America is now required to report regulatory capital under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The approach that yields the lower ratio is to be used to assess capital adequacy and was the Advanced approaches at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Prior to exiting parallel run, we were required to report regulatory capital under the Standardized approach only. 4 With the approval to exit parallel run, U.S. banking regulators requested modifications to certain internal analytical models including the wholesale (e.g., commercial) credit models, which increased our risk-weighted assets beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015. 5 Basel 3 fully phased-in Advanced approaches estimates assume approval by U.S. banking regulators of our internal analytical models, including approval of the internal models methodology (IMM). As of March 31, 2016, BAC did not have regulatory approval for the IMM model.

Net interest income on a GAAP basis was $9.2 billion and $9.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Net interest income on an FTE basis, excluding market-related adjustments, represents a non-GAAP financial measure. Negative market-related adjustments of premium amortization expense and hedge ineffectiveness were $1.2 billion and $0.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Total revenue, net of interest expense, on a GAAP basis was $19.5 billion and $20.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Net DVA gains (losses) were $154 million and $(401) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Fully phased-in estimates are non-GAAP financial measures. For reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, refer to pages 16-18 of this press release. Bank of America received approval to begin using the Advanced approaches capital framework to determine risk-based capital requirements beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015. As previously disclosed, with the approval to exit parallel run, U.S. banking regulators requested modifications to certain internal analytical models including the wholesale (e.g., commercial) credit models, which increased our risk-weighted assets beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015. Basel 3 Advanced approaches estimates on a fully phased-in basis assume approval by U.S. banking regulators of our internal analytical models, including approval of the internal models methodology (IMM). As of March 31, 2016, BAC did not have regulatory approval for the IMM model. Global Excess Liquidity Sources include cash and high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities, limited to U.S. government securities, U.S. agency securities, U.S. agency MBS, and a select group of non-U.S. government and supranational securities, and are readily available to meet funding requirements as they arise. It does not include Federal Reserve Discount Window or Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing capacity. Transfers of liquidity from the bank or other regulated entities are subject to certain regulatory restrictions. Time to required funding is a debt coverage measure and is expressed as the number of months unsecured holding company obligations of Bank of America Corporation can be met using only the parent company’s Global Excess Liquidity Sources without issuing debt or sourcing additional liquidity. We define unsecured contractual obligations for purposes of this metric as maturities of senior or subordinated debt issued or guaranteed by Bank of America Corporation. For all periods shown prior to Q1-16, we have included in the amount of unsecured contractual obligations the liability, including estimated costs, for the previously announced BNY Mellon private-label securitization settlement. The settlement payment of $8.5 billion was made in the first quarter of 2016. Return on average tangible common equity and return on average tangible common equity excluding the negative impacts of the market-related adjustments and annual retirement-eligible incentive costs are non-GAAP financial measures. Market-related adjustments for premium amortization expense and hedge ineffectiveness, and the annual retirement-eligible incentive costs, net of tax, were $738 million and $527 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Municipal Bond ranking per Thompson Reuters as of April 1 2016. Legacy Assets and Servicing (LAS) noninterest expense, excluding litigation, is a non-GAAP financial measure. LAS noninterest expense was $860 million, $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. LAS litigation expense was $131 million, $353 million and $179 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Return on average allocated capital is a non-GAAP financial measure. The company believes the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the segments. Other companies may define or calculate this measure differently. For reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, refer to pages 16-18 of this press release. The estimated supplementary leverage ratio is measured using quarter-end Tier 1 capital as the numerator, calculated under Basel 3 on a fully phased-in basis. The denominator is supplementary leverage exposure based on the daily average of the sum of on-balance sheet exposures less permitted Tier 1 deductions, as well as the simple average of certain off-balance sheet exposures, as of the end of each month in a quarter. Off-balance sheet exposures primarily include undrawn lending commitments, letters of credit, potential future derivative exposures and repo-style transactions. At March 31, 2016, the estimated SLR for the Bank Holding Company on a fully phased-in basis was 6.8 percent. Differences between fully phased-in and transitional supplementary leverage exposures are immaterial. Global Markets revenue, excluding net DVA, and sales and trading revenue, excluding net DVA, are non-GAAP financial measures. Net DVA gains (losses) were $154 million, $(198) million and $(401) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. FICC net DVA gains (losses) were $140 million and $(392) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Equities net DVA gains (losses) were $14 million and $(9) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

With the approval to exit parallel run, Bank of America is required to report regulatory capital risk-weighted assets and ratios under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The approach that yields the lower ratio is to be used to assess capital adequacy, and was the Advanced approaches at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Prior to exiting parallel run, we were required to report regulatory capital under the Standardized approach only.

This information is preliminary and based on company data available at the time of the presentation. 16 Bank of America Corporation and Subsidiaries Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures (Dollars in millions) The Corporation evaluates its business based on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP financial measure. The Corporation believes managing the business with net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis provides a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. Total revenue, net of interest expense, includes net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis and noninterest income. The Corporation views related ratios and analyses (i.e., efficiency ratios and net interest yield) on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. To derive the fully taxable-equivalent basis, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt income on an equivalent before-tax basis with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. For purposes of this calculation, the Corporation uses the federal statutory tax rate of 35 percent. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. The efficiency ratio measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, and net interest yield measures the basis points the Corporation earns over the cost of funds. The Corporation also evaluates its business based on the following ratios that utilize tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible equity represents an adjusted shareholders' equity or common shareholders' equity amount which has been reduced by goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities. Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity measures the Corporation's earnings contribution as a percentage of adjusted average common shareholders' equity. The tangible common equity ratio represents adjusted ending common shareholders' equity divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities. Return on average tangible shareholders' equity measures the Corporation's earnings contribution as a percentage of adjusted average total shareholders' equity. The tangible equity ratio represents adjusted ending shareholders' equity divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities. Tangible book value per common share represents adjusted ending common shareholders' equity divided by ending common shares outstanding. These measures are used to evaluate the Corporation's use of equity. In addition, profitability, relationship and investment models all use return on average tangible shareholders' equity as key measures to support our overall growth goals. In addition, the Corporation periodically reviews capital allocated to its businesses and allocates capital annually during the strategic and capital planning processes. We utilize a methodology that considers the effect of regulatory capital requirements in addition to internal risk-based capital models. The Corporation's internal risk-based capital models use a risk-adjusted methodology incorporating each segment's credit, market, interest rate, business and operational risk components. Return on average allocated capital is calculated as net income, adjusted for cost of funds and earnings credits and certain expenses related to intangibles, divided by average allocated capital. Allocated capital and the related return both represent non-GAAP financial measures. Allocated capital is reviewed periodically and refinements are made based on multiple considerations that include, but are not limited to, risk-weighted assets measured under Basel 3 Standardized and Advanced approaches, business segment exposures and risk profile, and strategic plans. As part of this process, in 2016, the Corporation adjusted the amount of capital being allocated to its business segments. See the tables below and on pages 17-18 for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to financial measures defined by GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015. The Corporation believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the Corporation. Other companies may define or calculate supplemental financial data differently.
