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, 2023 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, 2023 (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 14, 2023. 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 being filed in the context of other prior disclosures filed by MUFG in Japan and discusses selected recent developments taking into account those prior disclosures. Accordingly, you may need to review the following disclosure, together with other prior disclosures, to obtain all of the information that is important to you. For a more complete discussion of the background to information provided below, please see our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 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, reflect 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, 2023 filed in Japan on June 27, 2023. 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.

The numbering of the subheading of the risk disclosure below corresponds to the numbering of the subheading of the same risk disclosure in our most recent annual securities report filed in Japan.

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 2023 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

Decline in capital sufficiency /

Increase in risk assets

  

•   Our capital management may be adversely affected by an increase in unrealized losses on debt securities due to a rise in interest rates globally.

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.

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 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 2023. These risk events include risk events of general applicability.

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

We have various transactions, including derivatives, loans, bonds, and securitized products, that reference or referenced London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, and other interest rate benchmarks. ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the LIBOR administrator, ceased publication of the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings and all non-U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on a representative basis after December 31, 2021 and publication of all other U.S. dollar LIBOR settings after June 30, 2023.

In preparation for the discontinuation of the publication of LIBOR, we have been taking measures to deal with the reform of LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks and the transition to alternative reference rates, and our transition away from LIBOR and related benchmarks with respect to transactions referencing LIBOR settings which ceased to be published after December 31, 2021 have been mostly completed, with a strategy in place for the remainder of such transactions. With respect to transactions referencing U.S. dollar LIBOR settings and which ceased to be published after June 30, 2023, although we have made substantial progress on our transition away from such U.S. dollar LIBOR settings and related benchmarks, we continue to take measures to complete such transition, while relying on legislative solutions for existing contracts that cannot feasibly be transitioned away from U.S. dollar LIBOR.

Such transition from LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks to alternative reference rates is complex and entails uncertainty, including as to the economic characteristics and performance, market acceptance, and accounting and regulatory treatment of such alternative reference rates and the transition to such rates, and may have various adverse impacts on our business, financial position and operating results. In particular, among other things,

 

   

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

 

   

we may be unable to modify contracts with our counterparties to replace the reference rate for existing contracts based on or linked to LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks with alternative reference rates as planned;

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

our operational and risk management systems may not be fully effective to deal with the reform of LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks and the transition to alternative reference rates.

 

19.

Risks relating to regulatory changes

As a global financial services provider, our business is subject to ongoing changes in laws, regulations, rules, policies, accounting standards or methods, voluntary codes of practice and interpretations in Japan and other markets where we operate. Major global financial institutions currently face an increasingly stricter set of laws, regulations and standards as a result of emerging technologies, political and geopolitical developments, environmental, social and governance concerns, and other concerns enveloping the global financial sector. There is also growing political pressure to demand even greater internal compliance and risk management systems following several high-profile scandals and risk management failures in the financial industry and the resulting failures of financial institutions. The laws, regulations and standards that apply to us are often complex and, in many cases, we must make interpretive decisions regarding the application of such laws, regulations and standards to our business activities. Future developments or changes in laws, regulations, rules, policies, accounting standards or methods, voluntary codes of practice, interpretations and their effects are expected to require greater capital, human and technological resources as well as significant management attention, and may require us to modify our business strategies and plans. We may be unable to enhance our compliance management programs and systems, which, in some cases, are supported by third-party service providers, as required or planned. Our failure or inability to comply fully with applicable laws and regulations may lead to penalties, fines, public reprimands, damage to reputation, issuance of business improvement and other administrative orders, enforced suspension of operations, our inability to obtain regulatory approvals for future strategic initiatives or, in extreme cases, withdrawal of authorization to operate, adversely affecting our business and results of operations.

Principal companies:

MUFG Bank, Ltd.

Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation

Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd.

ACOM CO., LTD.

 

  (a)

Changes in the scope of consolidation in the six months ended September 30, 2023

Kanmu, Inc. and twelve other companies were newly included in the scope of consolidation due to transfer from the scope of application of the equity method, acquisition of shares, or other reasons.

Hygeia Co., Ltd.

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.

     182 subsidiaries   

The end of September:

       69 subsidiaries   

 

  (2)

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.

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

6


  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, 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 primarily 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 ¥225,101 million as of September 30, 2023(¥216,625 million as of March 31, 2023).

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 Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, “Financial Instruments—Credit losses,” 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.

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.

(Information relevant to an understanding by readers of the consolidated financial statements regarding the calculation of 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, Determination of internal credit ratings for some 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. The subsidiary makes such adjustments based on future loss projections and other factors to loss rates calculated based on historical loss experience, when and to the extent such adjustments are deemed appropriate, by taking into account additional expected losses that are not reflected in such loss rates calculated based on historical loss experience and other factors, especially in light of the Russia-Ukraine situation. The amount of impact of these adjustments was ¥63,094 million as of September 30, 2023 (¥69,569 million as of March 31, 2023).

Given that actual loss information after the expansion of COVID-19 has been accumulated and the impact of COVID-19 is reflected in the loss rates calculated based on historical loss experience, starting in the current semi-annual reporting period, no adjustment are made based on future projections that take into account the rate of increase in the credit loss rate or the default probability in a recent period.

In addition, certain overseas subsidiaries which apply Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, “Financial Instruments—Credit losses,” 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, some 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 factors with respect to which objective data are not readily available such as changes in the economic environment, commodity prices, monetary policy and geopolitical situation in each country.

In particular, the outlook relating to the Russia-Ukraine situation remains subject to significant uncertainty. Accordingly, we make certain assumptions, including that the current Russia-Ukraine situation will remain for some time. The recorded allowance for credit losses represents our best estimation made in a manner designed to ensure objectivity and rationality.

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2023, 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 outlook relating to the Russia-Ukraine situation 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, 2023 and subsequent reporting periods due to these and other factors and circumstances affecting the financial performance of counterparties or the economic environment.

Retirement benefits

In calculating the amount of benefit obligation, the portion of projected benefit obligation attributed to the six-month period ended September 30, 2023 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.

 

11


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.

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.

 

  (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” (March 17, 2022), 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 as well as from future equity investments in foreign subsidiaries. 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, and the deferred hedge accounting method is applied to future equity investments in foreign subsidiaries.

 

13


  (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 the Group Tax Sharing System

MUFG and some of its domestic consolidated subsidiaries have adopted the group tax sharing system.

 

  (22)

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.

 

  (23)

Accounting standards for foreign subsidiaries

If the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) or 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.

(Additional Information)

(Provisional closing of accounts of a significant equity-method affiliate)

Morgan Stanley, a significant equity-method affiliate of MUFG, closes its financial accounts based on a fiscal year-end of December 31 and, previously, the equity method of accounting was applied to Morgan Stanley’s consolidated financial statements as of the end of Morgan Stanley’s quarterly reporting period. However, from the perspective of providing financial information in a more timely manner, MUFG has decided to make modifications so that, effective from the semi-annual reporting period ended September 30, 2023, the equity method of accounting will be applied to Morgan Stanley based on a provisional closing of accounts to be implemented as of September 30, which is the end of MUFG’s semi-annual reporting period.

Accordingly, for the semi-annual reporting period ended September 30, 2023, the equity method of accounting have been applied to Morgan Stanley’s consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period from January 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023 based on a provisional closing of accounts, and the impact of implementation of such provisional closing of accounts has been reflected in MUFG’s consolidated financial statements for the semi-annual reporting period ended September 30, 2023.

For the period from January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023, equity in earnings of the equity method investees related to Morgan Stanley is 104,850 million, losses on change in equity related to Morgan Stanley is 22,058 million, and share of other comprehensive income of associates accounted for using equity method related to Morgan Stanley included in other comprehensive income is 367,925 million.

     (in millions of yen)  
     March 31, 2023      September 30, 2023  

Unused overdraft facilities and commitment lines of credit

   ¥         96,203,085      ¥           100,195,295  

The total amount of the unused portion does not necessarily represent actual future cash requirements because many of these contracts are expected to expire without being drawn upon. 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.

In accordance with the “Law concerning Revaluation of Land” (the “Land Revaluation Law”) (No. 34, March 31, 1998), land used for business operations of domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries has been revalued as of the dates indicated below. 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. Land revaluation excess includes MUFG’s share of affiliated companies’ Land revaluation excess.

Dates of revaluation:

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 for shape and time and (4) appraisal by certified real estate appraisers stipulated in Article 2-5 of the Ordinance with price adjustments for time.

In addition, some of MUFG’s affiliates that were accounted for under the equity method conducted a revaluation for land used for business operations on March 31, 2002.

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.

  1.

The increase in the number of shares of common stock held in treasury by 327,308 thousand shares was due to the acquisitions of shares pursuant to provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and the repurchases of shares in response to requests made by shareholders holding shares constituting less than one whole unit. The decrease in the number of shares of common stock held in treasury by 2,912 thousand shares was due to the sale of shares for a performance-based director and officer stock compensation plan using a Board Incentive Plan trust (“BIP trust”), the sale of shares in response to requests made by shareholders holding shares constituting less than one whole unit and a decrease in the number of shares held by equity method affiliates.

 

  2.

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 which are accounted for in accordance with Paragraphs 24-3 and 24-9 of ASBJ Implementation Guidance No. 31, “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (ASBJ, June 17, 2021) (“Implementation Guidance on Fair Value Measurement”), stocks with no market price, etc. and investments in partnerships and others which are accounted for in accordance with Paragraph 24-16 of the Implementation Guidance on Fair Value Measurement. (See Note (*2) to each of the tables in (1), (Note 3) and (Note 4) 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 and liabilities

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 foreign equity securities with maturity as well as 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 investment trusts is determined based on the closing market price or other publicly available net asset value. Listed investment trusts and listed real estate investment trusts, which have closing market prices, are primarily classified into Level 1, and other investment trusts are primarily classified into Level 2. Investment trusts which are accounted for at net asset value in accordance with Paragraphs 24-3 and 24-9 of the Implementation Guidance on Fair Value Measurement are not classified into any fair value hierarchy.

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

 

32


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 certain loans with floating interest rates, 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 or MUFG’s consolidated subsidiaries. These are classified as Level 2.

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 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.

 

33


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.

Transfers into Level 3 from Level 2 were made primarily based on the significance of unobservable inputs considering CVA on the counterparty’s credit risk and FVA on unsecured funding principally in interest rate related transactions. This transfer was implemented at the beginning of the six-month period ended September 30,2023.

(*4)

Transfers into Level 2 from Level 3 were made primarily based on declines in the significance of unobservable inputs for valuation of interest rate-related derivatives, taking into account credit valuation adjustments (CVA) for counterparty credit risk and funding valuation adjustments (FVA) for unsecured financing.

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.

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.

 

39


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, 2023 were ¥2,825 million consisting of ¥2,370 million on equity securities and ¥455 million on bonds and other securities.

Impairment losses on such securities for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023 were ¥129 million consisting of ¥99 million on equity securities and ¥30 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.

Methods of calculation of net revenue, operating profit (loss), and fixed assets 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 “1. Significant Accounting Policies Applied to the Semi-Annual Consolidated Financial Statements” above. 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 revenue and operating expenses attributable to multiple segments are reported in accordance with internal managerial accounting rules generally calculated based on market value.

Fixed assets for each reporting segment disclosed below represent the tangible fixed assets and intangible fixed assets related to the Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (“the Trust Bank”) as allocated to each reporting segment.

 

  (a)

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

From the six months ended September 30, 2023, 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, 2022 has been restated based on the new calculation method.

In order to apply this change in presentation, the information in “(b) Tangible fixed assets” under “(2) Geographical information” as of September 30, 2022 has been retroactively reclassified.

As a result, the previously presented amount with respect to “United States” as of September 30, 2022, which was ¥108,378 million, has been reclassified into “Others.”

In addition, the amount of tangible fixed assets with respect to “Thailand,” which was previously included in “Others” as of September 30, 2022, is presented as a separate line-item as of September 30, 2023 due to its relative increased significance in light of the decreased significance of “United States.” In order to apply this change in presentation, the information in “(b) Tangible fixed assets” under “(2) Geographical information” as of September 30, 2022 has been retroactively reclassified.

As a result, the previously presented amount with respect to “Others” as of September 30, 2022, which was ¥169,235 million, has been disaggregated and reclassified into ¥88,804 million for “Thailand” and ¥188,809 million for “Others.”

Subsequent Events

I.

Reasons for the repurchase and cancellation of own shares

MUFG seeks to enhance shareholder returns primarily through dividends, while pursuing an optimal balance between effective capital management and strategic investments for growth.

As a general policy, MUFG intends to cancel treasury shares to the extent that such shares exceed approximately 5% of its total issued shares (including treasury shares).
