Forward-Looking Statements
We may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements. Written forward-looking statements may appear in documents filed with, or submitted to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including this Annual Report, and other reports to shareholders and other communications.
The U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking information to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves. We rely on this safe harbor in making these forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this Annual Report and include statements regarding our current intent, business plan, targets, belief or expectations or the current belief or current expectations of our management with respect to our results of operations and financial condition, including, among other matters, our problem loans and loan losses. In many, but not all cases, we use words such as “anticipate,” “aim,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “probability,” “risk,” “will,” “may” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those which are aimed, anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned, or otherwise stated.
Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Important factors that could cause such differences include, without limitation,
• | deterioration in economic conditions in Japan and around the world, |
• | reduction in foreign currency funding liquidity, |
• | significant unexpected increases in credit costs, |
• | cyber-attacks and other information security threats, |
• | problems with the proper functioning and development of information, communications and transaction management systems, |
• | failure to address regulatory or public concerns or to meet market or industry rules or standards, customer protection requirements, or corporate behavior expectations, |
• | external events, such as natural disasters, COVID-19 and other health pandemics or epidemics, terrorism, and other political and social conflicts, |
• | reforms of London Interbank Offered Rate and other interest rate benchmarks, |
• | climate change and resulting physical damages and changes in the business environment, |
• | competitive pressures resulting from regulatory and market changes, |
• | failure to implement our business expansion strategy as planned and to manage new or expanded risks that entail such strategy, |
• | negative developments relating to our strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley, |
• | adverse changes in the business of our overseas subsidiaries, |
• | significant impairment losses on goodwill recognized in connection with our acquisitions, |
• | failure to maintain our capital ratios and other regulatory ratios above minimum required levels, |
• | financial difficulties of other financial institutions that affect the overall banking environment and their borrowers, |
3
• | fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and stock prices, |
• | transactions with counterparties in countries designated by the U.S. Department of State as state sponsors of terrorism, |
• | changes in laws, regulations, rules, policies, accounting standards or methods, voluntary codes of practices, and interpretations, |
• | changes in the business and regulatory environment for consumer finance companies, |
• | damage to our reputation resulting from our failure to prevent or properly address negative perceptions held by customers, investors, regulators and the general public regarding us and our operations, and |
• | other risks and uncertainties discussed in “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors,” “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview,” “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. |
Given these and other risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the filing of this Annual Report. We are under no obligation, and disclaim any obligation, to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise unless required by law.

D. | Risk Factors |
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described in this section, which is intended to disclose all of the risks that we consider material based on the information currently available to us, as well as all the other information in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk” and “Selected Statistical Data.”
Our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by any of the factors discussed below. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these factors. This Annual Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those described in this section and elsewhere in this Annual Report. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to Our Business Environment
Because a large portion of our assets as well as our business operations are in Japan, we may incur losses if economic conditions in Japan worsen.
Our performance is particularly affected by the general economic conditions of Japan where we are headquartered and conduct a significant amount of our business. As of March 31, 2020, 62.6% of our total assets were related to Japanese domestic assets, including Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds, which accounted for 56.1% of our total investment securities portfolio and 7.4% of our total assets, respectively. Interest and
non-interest
income in Japan represented 27.5% of our total interest andnon-interest
income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2020, our loans in Japan accounted for 55.0% of our total loans outstanding.There is significant uncertainty surrounding Japan’s economy. For example, Japan’s fiscal health and sovereign creditworthiness may deteriorate if the Japanese government’s economic measures and the Bank of Japan’s monetary policies prove ineffective or result in negative consequences. If the prices of Japanese government bonds decline rapidly, resulting in an unexpectedly sudden increase in interest rates, our investment securities portfolio as well as our lending, borrowing, trading and other operations may be negatively impacted. In addition, interest rates may suddenly increase as a result of a decision made by the Bank of Japan to end or modify its current interest rate policy, including the negative interest rate of minus 0.1% applied to certain current account amounts that financial institutions hold at the Bank of Japan and the Japanese government bond purchase program with an aim to keep the yield of
10-year
Japanese government bonds around zero percent, or market expectations relating to any such decision. See “—Market Risk—Fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and stock prices could adversely affect the value or the yield of our portfolio.”Instability in the Japanese stock market and foreign currency exchange rates may also have a significant adverse impact on our asset and liability management as well as our results of operations. Various other factors, including the
COVID-19
pandemic and measures being implemented in response to the pandemic such as restrictions on travel, store operations and other economic activities, the decreasing and aging demographics in Japan, stagnation or deterioration of economic and market conditions in other countries, growing global competition and trade conflicts, may also have a material negative impact on the Japanese economy. See “—Risk Relating to Our Strategic Equity Portfolio—If the Japanese stock market or other global markets decline in the future, we may incur losses on our securities portfolio and our capital ratios will be adversely affected.” For a detailed discussion on the business environment in Japan and abroad, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Business Environment.”Since our domestic loans in Japan accounted for a significant portion of our loan portfolio, deteriorating or stagnant economic conditions in Japan may cause adverse effects on our financial results, such as increases in
8
credit costs, as the credit quality of some borrowers could deteriorate, particularly borrowers in industries that are adversely affected by the
COVID-19
pandemic. Our domestic loan portfolio may also be adversely affected by interest rate fluctuations in Japan. For example, as a result of the Bank of Japan’s interest rate policy and measures to purchase Japanese government bonds in the market, the yield on many financial instruments and other market interest rates in Japan have declined to low or negative levels. If the Bank of Japan’s policy and measures are maintained for an extended period, or if the Bank of Japan’s negative interest rate is lowered from the current level, market interest rates may decline further, and our interest rate spread on our domestic loan portfolio may narrow further, reducing our net interest income. Our results of operations may be materially affected by deterioration of economic conditions in Japan and around the world.
Economic conditions in Japan and around the world may deteriorate significantly due to various factors such as the
COVID-19
pandemic and measures being implemented in response to the pandemic, including restrictions on travel, store operations and other economic activities, in Japan and other countries and regions as well as crude oil prices declining or remaining at low levels. Uncertainty over the Japanese and global economies still remain not only because of the unpredictability of the timing of containment ofCOVID-19
but also because of such other factors as concerns over political developments in the United States, the possible negative impact on international trade resulting from shifts in the trade policies of various countries and regions, concerns relating to the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, and the slowing economic growth in China and the economic stagnation in emerging countries and commodity-exporting countries, as well as the political turmoil in various regions around the world. In addition, external events, such as earthquakes, typhoons, floods and other natural disasters, terrorism and other political and social conflicts, abduction, and health pandemics or epidemics, may cause deterioration in economic conditions and market instability in affected areas. As of March 31, 2020, based principally on the domicile of the obligors, assets related to the United States accounted for approximately 18.3% of our total assets, assets related to Asia and Oceania excluding Japan accounted for approximately 9.3% of our total assets, and assets related to Europe accounted for approximately 5.8% of our total assets. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Business Environment.”Worsening economic conditions in Japan and around the world may result in, among other things, impairment or valuation losses on securities and other assets that we hold due to declines in the market value of such assets, an increase in our
non-performing
loans and credit costs due to deterioration in borrowers’ business performance, a decrease in our profits due to deterioration in the creditworthiness of counterparties in market transactions, a reduction in foreign currency funding liquidity, an increase in our foreign currency funding costs, and an increase in the level of risk in the risk assets that we hold. Our profitability may be adversely affected by various other factors, including a decline in our net interest income caused by such factors as changes in the monetary policies of central banks in various jurisdictions. In addition, an economic downturn may result in a decline in new investments and business transactions by customers due to stagnation in economic activity, weak consumer spending, diminished investor appetite for making investments in uncertain financial markets, and a decrease in our assets under custody or management.We have incurred losses, and may incur further losses, as a result of changes in the fair value of our financial instruments resulting from weakening market conditions. For example, we recorded ¥646.0 billion of net losses from marketable equity securities, which reflected unrealized losses, or holding losses, on marketable equity securities, and ¥4.8 billion of impairment losses on
available-for-sale
debt securities and other securities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 26.4% of our total assets were financial instruments for which we measure fair value on a recurring basis, and less than 0.5% of our total assets were financial instruments for which we measure fair value on anon-recurring
basis. Generally, in order to establish the fair value of these instruments, we rely on quoted prices. If the value of these financial instruments declines, a corresponding loss or write-down may be recognized in our consolidated statements of income. In addition, because we hold a large amount of investment securities, short-term fluctuations in the value of our securities may trigger losses or exit costs for us to manage our risk. For more information on our valuation9
method for financial instruments, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Estimates.”
Our business operations are exposed to risks of natural disasters, terrorism and other disruptions caused by external events.
As a major financial institution incorporated in Japan and operating in major international financial markets, our business operations, ATMs and other information technology systems, personnel, and facilities and other physical assets are subject to the risks of earthquakes, typhoons, floods and other natural disasters, terrorism and other political and social conflicts, abduction, health pandemics or epidemics, and other disruptions caused by external events, which are beyond our control. Such external events may result in loss of facility and human and other resources, suspension or delay in all or part of our operations, inability to implement business strategic measures or respond to changes in the market or regulatory environment as planned, and other disruptions to our operations. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs and expenses, including those incurred for preventive or remedial measures, to deal with the consequences of such external events. As a result, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
For example, the
COVID-19
pandemic has required us to temporarily close some of our business locations, resulted in reduction in our and our vendors’ operational capacity due to restrictions on mobility, and had other negative impact on us. Although we have taken various measures designed to ensure the safety of our employees and vendors as well as the continuity of our operations, if a large number or concentrated groups of employees of us and our vendors become infected of the virus or if the pandemic continues to expand or is not sufficiently controlled, we may be further adversely affected.As with other Japanese companies, we are exposed to heightened risks of large-scale natural disasters, particularly earthquakes. In particular, a large-scale earthquake occurring in the Tokyo metropolitan area and other areas where we have our important business functions may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our risk management policies and procedures may be insufficient to address the consequences of these external events, resulting in our inability to continue to operate a part or the whole of our business. In addition, our redundancy and backup measures may not be sufficient to avoid a material disruption in our operations, and our contingency and business continuity plans may not address all eventualities that may occur in the event of a material disruption caused by a large-scale natural disaster such as the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, which led to tsunamis, soil liquefaction and fires, as well as electricity power supply shortages and electricity power conservation measures.
Reforms of London Interbank Offered Rate and other interest rate benchmarks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have various transactions, including derivatives, loans, bonds, and securitized products, that reference London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. In July 2014, the Financial Stability Board proposed reforms of interest rate benchmarks and development of a risk-free rate as an alternative interest rate benchmark. In July 2017, the Chief Executive of the Financial Conduct Authority, or FCA, of the United Kingdom, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it would not compel panel banks to quote rates in order to continue publishing LIBOR beyond the end of calendar 2021 and, as a result, there are considerable uncertainties regarding the publication of LIBOR after calendar 2021.
In anticipation of the discontinuation of the publication of LIBOR at the end of calendar 2021, we are taking measures to deal with the reform of LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks and the transition to an alternative interest rate. However, such transition is complex and uncertain in many respects and may have various adverse
10
impacts on our business, financial position and operating results. In particular, such transition may, among other things,
• | adversely affect the price, liquidity, profitability, and tradability of a wide range of financial instruments, such as loans and derivatives, included in our financial assets and liabilities that reference LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks; |
• | require negotiations with our counterparties to modify contracts to replace the reference rate for existing contracts based on or linked to LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks with an alternative interest rate; |
• | result in disputes with customers and counterparties concerning the interpretation of affected contracts or economic adjustments to the alternative interest rate adopted in connection with the reform of LIBOR and other interest rates and the transition to alternative interest rates, or disputes concerning inappropriate trade practices or abuse of a dominant bargaining position in transactions with customers; |
• | require us to respond to regulatory authorities in connection with the reform of LIBOR and other interest rates and the transition to an alternative interest rate; and |
• | require us to develop risk management and other operational systems and processes necessary to effectively deal with the reform of LIBOR and other interest rates and the transition to an alternative interest rate, which may prove challenging or impossible, or incur significant system investment and other costs in connection with such reform and transition. |
Climate change could have a material adverse impact on us and our clients.
Physical damage caused by extreme weather conditions and natural disasters resulting from climate change, as well as governments’ measures to strengthen climate-related regulations and the transition to a
low-carbon
society, may adversely affect the business and financial condition of us and our clients, including our credit portfolio.We recognize the importance of appropriately understanding, evaluating and disclosing climate change-related risks, and we intend to support the recommendations of the Climate Financial Disclosure Task Force, or TCFD, which has been established by the Financial Stability Board. To be in line with the TCFD, we intend to make a continued effort to improve our understanding and evaluation of the relevant risks and to enhance our related disclosure. However, if our effort to address climate change-related risks or to make appropriate disclosure proves or is deemed insufficient and, as a result, we are considered to fail to fulfill our responsibility to society, our corporate value may be impaired and our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Strategies
Our business may be adversely affected by competitive pressures, which have partly increased due to regulatory changes and recent market changes in the financial industry domestically and globally.
Competition in the financial services industry may further intensify due to the increase in the number of
non-financial
institutions entering the financial services industry with alternative services such as electronic settlement services as a result of development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, or AI, and blockchain as well as significant changes in regulatory barriers. Competition may also further increase as other global financial institutions enhance their competitive strength through development or adoption of such new technologies as well as mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances, and profit enhancement and other measures. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Competition.”Under such circumstances, although we have been implementing various business strategies on a global basis designed to strengthen our competitive position and profitability, our business, financial condition and
11
results of operations may be adversely affected if these strategies fail to produce the results we expect or if we are required to delay or otherwise change these strategies and result in the decline in our competitiveness because of various factors, including:
• | the volume of loans made to borrowers does not increase as anticipated; |
• | our income from interest spreads on the existing loans does not improve as anticipated; |
• | our loan interest spread further narrows as a result of the “quantitative and qualitative monetary easing with yield curve control” program being maintained in Japan for an extended period or the negative interest rate being lowered from the current level; |
• | our fee income does not increase as much or quickly as we aim to do; |
• | our strategy to build a business infrastructure for new services and products through digitalization or otherwise does not proceed as planned; |
• | clients and business opportunities are lost, costs and expenses significantly exceed our expectations, or our strategies to improve financial and operational efficiency or system integration plans are not achieved as expected, because of delays or other changes in the ongoing or planned intra-group integration, reorganization or streamlining of our operations; |
• | we are unable to hire or retain sufficient human resources; |
• | our foreign currency funding becomes limited or unavailable; and |
• | we are restricted in agility or flexibility in investing in non-financial institutions under applicable laws and regulations in and outside of Japan. |
Our strategy to expand the range of our financial products and services and the geographic scope of our business globally may fail if we are unable to anticipate or manage new or expanded risks that entail such expansion.
As we expand our business operations, we may become exposed to new and increasingly complex risks. We may not be able to establish appropriate internal controls or risk management systems or to hire or retain necessary human resources to effectively deal with compliance, regulatory, market and other risks entailing the expanded scope of our operations, products and services in all cases and, as a consequence, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
As a strategic measure implemented in an effort to become the world’s most trusted financial group, we acquire businesses, make investments and enter into capital alliances globally. We may continue to pursue opportunities to acquire businesses, make investments and enter into capital alliances. However, our acquisition, investments and capital alliances may not proceed as planned or may be changed or dissolved, we may not achieve the synergies or other results that we expected, or we may incur impairment or valuation losses on securities acquired or intangible assets, including goodwill, recorded in connection with such business acquisitions, investments or business alliances, because of changes in the strategies or financial condition of our acquirees, investees or alliance partners that are inconsistent with our interests, unanticipated changes in the industry or business environment affecting our acquirees, investees or alliance partners, stagnation of the economy, changes in the laws, regulations or accounting standards applicable to our acquirees, investees or alliance partners, or inability to obtain regulatory approvals. These and other similar circumstances may adversely affect our business strategies, financial condition and results of operations.
Our efforts to offer new products and services or penetrate new markets may not succeed due to any of the foregoing reasons or other reasons, including if product or market opportunities develop more slowly than expected, if our new products and services are not well accepted among customers, if the profitability of opportunities is undermined by competitive pressures, regulatory limitations or changes in our business
12
environment, if our planned acquisitions, investments or capital alliances are not approved by regulators or do not proceed as planned, or if our acquisitions, investments or capital alliances fail to achieve the synergies or other results that we expect. For more information on our recent acquisition and investment transactions, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Recent Developments.”
Risks Related to Our Major Investees
If our strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley fails, we could suffer financial or reputational loss.
We have a global strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley, under which we operate two joint venture securities companies in Japan, engage in joint corporate finance operations in the United States and pursue other cooperative opportunities. We hold approximately 23.9% of the voting rights in Morgan Stanley as of March 31, 2020 and continue to hold approximately $521.4 million of perpetual
non-cumulative
non-convertible
preferred stock with a 10% dividend. In addition, we currently have two representatives on Morgan Stanley’s board of directors.We initially entered into this strategic alliance in October 2008 with a view towards long-term cooperation with Morgan Stanley, and currently plan to deepen the strategic alliance. However, due to any unexpected changes in social, economic or financial conditions, changes in the regulatory environment, or any failure to integrate or share staff, products or services, or to operate, manage or implement the business strategy of the securities joint venture companies or other cooperative opportunities as planned, we may be unable to achieve the expected synergies from this alliance.
If our strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley is terminated, it could have a material negative impact on our business strategy, financial condition, and results of operations. For example, because we conduct our securities operations in Japan through the joint venture companies we have with Morgan Stanley, such termination may result in our inability to attain the planned growth in this line of business.
In addition, with our current investment in Morgan Stanley, we have neither a controlling interest in, nor control over the business operations of, Morgan Stanley. If Morgan Stanley makes any business decisions that are inconsistent with our interests, we may be unable to achieve the goals initially set out for the strategic alliance. Furthermore, although we do not control Morgan Stanley, given the magnitude of our investment, if Morgan Stanley encounters financial or other business difficulties due to adverse changes in the economy, regulatory environment or other factors, we may suffer a financial loss on our investment or damage to our reputation. For example, we recorded an impairment loss of ¥579.5 billion on our investment in Morgan Stanley’s common stock for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
We apply equity method accounting to our investment in Morgan Stanley in our consolidated financial statements. As a result, Morgan Stanley’s performance affects our results of operations, and Morgan Stanley has contributed to a significant portion of our net income in recent periods. Rule
3-09
of RegulationS-X
requires Morgan Stanley’s financial statements to be included in this Annual Report. In addition, fluctuations in Morgan Stanley’s stock price or in our equity ownership interest in Morgan Stanley may cause us to recognize additional losses on our investment in Morgan Stanley.Any adverse changes in the business of MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation, Krungsri or Bank Danamon could significantly affect our results of operations.
Our major overseas subsidiaries include MUFG Americas Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary in the United States, Krungsri, an indirect subsidiary in Thailand, and Bank Danamon, an indirect subsidiary in Indonesia. These subsidiaries engage in retail and commercial banking primarily in their respective local markets. Adverse changes in the business and financial performance of any of these subsidiaries may significantly affect our financial condition and results of operations. Factors that can negatively impact these
13
subsidiaries include deterioration in the local economy or economic prospects or the credit quality of their loan portfolio, fluctuations in the stock, interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodities or real estate market, political or social instability, changes in the regulatory or competitive environment, natural disasters, pandemics or epidemics of infectious or contagious diseases, geopolitical conflicts, losses from legal proceedings, as well as the business performance of companies investing in or entering into the local market and the condition of economies, financial systems, laws and financial markets in the markets where such companies primarily operate. Costs incurred due to weaknesses in the internal controls or the regulatory compliance systems of the subsidiaries may also adversely affect their business and financial performance. For more information, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Global Commercial Banking Business Group” and “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—United States.”
If the goodwill recorded in connection with our acquisitions becomes impaired, we may be required to record impairment losses, which may adversely affect our financial results.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we account for our business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies as goodwill. U.S. GAAP requires us to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. As of March 31, 2020, the total balance of goodwill was ¥517.6 billion. As we expand our business through acquisitions and investments, we may record additional goodwill in connection with such acquisitions and investments, which may subsequently be impaired.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we recognized ¥241.4 billion, ¥80.3 billion and ¥62.2 billion, respectively, in impairment of goodwill relating to Bank Danamon, MUFG Americas Holdings and Krungsri within Global Commercial Banking Business Group and Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group. We consolidate MUFG Americas Holdings based on financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31 as this date and our fiscal year which ended on March 31 have been treated as coterminous. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the effect of recording a goodwill impairment as an intervening event primarily due to economic environment triggered by COVID-19 pandemic for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 would have been approximately ¥80 billion to ¥110 billion. This intervening event occurring during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, however, was not recognized for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. See “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Impairment of goodwill” and Note 6 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
We may be required to record additional impairment losses relating to goodwill in future periods if the fair value of any of our reporting units declines below the fair value of related assets net of liabilities. Any additional impairment losses will negatively affect our financial results, and the price of our securities could be adversely affected. For a detailed discussion of our periodic testing of goodwill for impairment and the goodwill recorded, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Estimates—Impairment on Goodwill and Intangible Assets.”
Risks Related to Our Ability to Meet Regulatory Capital Requirements
We may not be able to maintain our capital ratios and other regulatory ratios above minimum required levels, which could result in various regulatory actions, including the suspension of some or all of our operations.
We, as a holding company, and our Japanese banking subsidiaries are required to maintain risk-weighted capital ratios and leverage ratios above the levels specified in the guidelines adopted by the FSA to implement
14
the Basel III framework. As of March 31, 2020, our total risk-adjusted capital ratio was 15.87% compared to the minimum risk-adjusted capital ratio required of 12.01%, our Tier 1 capital ratio was 13.56% compared to the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio required of 10.01%, and our Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.90% compared to the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio required of 8.51%, each including a capital conservation buffer of 2.50%, a
G-SIB
surcharge of 1.50% and a countercyclical buffer of 0.01%. As of the same date, our leverage ratio was 4.42% compared to the minimum leverage ratio required of 3.00%. Basel III risk measurement reforms are expected to be phased in from 2023. Our capital and leverage ratios are calculated in accordance with Japanese banking regulations based on information derived from our financial statements prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP.The Financial Stability Board has identified us as one of
G-SIBs.
The banks that are included in the list ofG-SIBs
are subject to a capital surcharge to varying degrees depending on the bucket to which each bank is allocated. As the list ofG-SIBs
is expected to be updated annually, we may be required to meet stricter capital ratio requirements.G-SIBs
are currently expected to become subject to a leverage ratio surcharge in 2023.If our or our Japanese banking subsidiaries’ capital ratios or leverage ratios fall below the required levels, including various capital buffers, the FSA may require us to take a variety of corrective actions, including abstention from making capital distributions and suspension of our business operations.
In addition, some of our banking subsidiaries are subject to the local capital adequacy ratio and other regulatory ratio requirements of various foreign countries, including the United States, and if their ratios fall below the required levels, the local regulators will require them to take a variety of corrective actions.
Factors that will affect our and our bank subsidiaries’ capital ratios or leverage ratios include:
• | fluctuations in our or our banking subsidiaries’ portfolios due to deterioration in the creditworthiness of borrowers and the issuers of equity and debt securities; |
• | difficulty in refinancing or issuing instruments upon redemption or at maturity of such instruments to raise capital under terms and conditions similar to prior financings or issuances; |
• | declines in the value of our or our banking subsidiaries’ securities portfolios; |
• | adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates; |
• | adverse revisions to the capital ratio and other regulatory ratio requirements; |
• | reductions in the value of our or our banking subsidiaries’ deferred tax assets; and |
• | other adverse developments. |
Capital raising instruments issued in or prior to March 2013 can be included, as a capital item when calculating capital ratios to the extent permitted by a transitional measure. Such capital raising instruments may require refinancing under the current FSA guidelines. However, in order for newly issued capital raising instruments, other than common stock, to be included as a capital item in the calculation of capital ratios under the above capital adequacy guidelines, such instruments must, among other things, have a clause in their terms and conditions that requires them to be written off or converted into common stock upon the occurrence of certain events, including when the issuing financial institution is deemed
non-viable
or when the issuing financial institution’s capital ratios decline below prescribed levels. Under certain market conditions, we may be unable to refinance or issue capital raising instruments under terms and conditions similar to those of capital raising instruments issued in or prior to March 2013. If such circumstances arise, our and our banking subsidiaries’ capital could be reduced, and our and our bank subsidiaries’ capital ratios and leverage ratios could decrease.In March 2019, we became subject to the FSA’s new regulations requiring
G-SIBs
in Japan to maintain certain minimum levels of capital and liabilities that are deemed to have loss-absorbing and recapitalization15
capacity, or External TLAC, and allocate a certain minimum level of External TLAC to any material subsidiary within their respective groups of companies, or Internal TLAC. As of March 31, 2020, we maintained 18.62% of External TLAC on a risk-weighted assets basis compared to the required minimum ratio of 16.00% and 7.38% of External TLAC on a leverage exposure basis compared to the required minimum ratio of 6.00%. The applicable minimum ratio requirements are expected to be raised to 18.00% on a risk-weighted assets basis and 6.75% on a leverage exposure basis on March 31, 2022. Within the MUFG Group, MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd. and MUFG Americas Holdings are designated as our material subsidiaries. We may become subject to various regulatory actions, including restrictions on capital distributions, if we are unable to maintain our External TLAC ratios or the amount of Internal TLAC allocated to any of our material subsidiaries in Japan above the minimum levels required by the standards imposed by the FSA. Our External TLAC ratios and the amount of our Internal TLAC are affected by various factors that affect our capital ratios and leverage ratios described above. Although we plan to issue TLAC-qualified debt in an effort to meet the minimum required levels of External TLAC ratios and Internal TLAC amounts, we may fail to do so if we are unable to issue or refinance TLAC-qualified debt as planned.
For a discussion of the applicable regulatory guidelines and our capital ratios, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation” and “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Adequacy.”
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may result in transaction losses on translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as well as foreign currency translation losses with respect to our foreign subsidiaries and equity method investees.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the Japanese yen create transaction gains or losses on the translation into Japanese yen of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent that our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are not matched in the same currency or appropriately hedged, we could incur losses due to future foreign exchange rate fluctuations. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the average balance of our foreign interest-earning assets was ¥101,024.8 billion and the average balance of our foreign interest-bearing liabilities was ¥65,982.7 billion, representing 41.0% of our average total interest-earning assets and 27.6% of our average total interest-bearing liabilities during the same period. Due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, we may incur losses attributable to net transaction losses on the translation into Japanese yen of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, net losses on currency derivative instruments entered into for trading purposes, and net losses on translation into Japanese yen of securities accounted for under the fair value option. In addition, we may incur foreign currency translation losses with respect to our foreign subsidiaries and equity method investees due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For recent market trends in foreign currency exchange rates, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Business Environment.” For information on foreign exchange gains and losses and foreign currency translation gains and losses, see “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Results of
Operations—Non-Interest
Income” and “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Effect of Change in Exchange Rates on Foreign Currency Translation.”For a discussion of a potential impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our capital ratios and other regulatory ratios, see “—Risks Related to Our Ability to Meet Regulatory Capital Requirements—We may not be able to maintain our capital ratios and other regulatory ratios above minimum required levels, which could result in various regulatory actions, including the suspension of some or all of our operations.”
16
Credit Risk
We may suffer additional credit-related losses in the future if our borrowers are unable to repay their loans as expected or if the measures we take in reaction to, or in anticipation of, our borrowers’ deteriorating repayment abilities prove inappropriate or insufficient.
When we lend money or commit to lend money, we incur credit risk, which is the risk of losses if our borrowers do not repay their loans. We may incur significant credit losses or have to provide for a significant amount of additional allowance for credit losses if:
• | large borrowers become insolvent or must be restructured; |
• | domestic or global economic conditions, either generally or in particular industries in which large borrowers operate, deteriorate; |
• | the value of the collateral we hold, such as real estate or securities, declines; or |
• | we are adversely affected by corporate credibility issues among our borrowers, to an extent that is worse than anticipated. |
As a percentage of total loans, impaired loans, which primarily include nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructurings, or TDRs, ranged from 1.04% to 1.45% as of the five most recent fiscal year-ends. As of March 31, 2020, impaired loans were ¥1.31 trillion, representing 1.11% of our total outstanding loans. If the economic conditions in Japan or other parts of the world, including emerging countries, or in particular industries, including the energy and real estate industries, to which we have significant credit risk exposure, or the air transportation and other industries that may be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, worsen, or if emerging market currencies depreciate against major currencies, our problem loans and credit-related expenses may increase. An increase in problem loans and credit-related expenses would adversely affect our results of operations, weaken our financial condition and erode our capital base.
We may provide additional loans, equity capital or other forms of support to troubled borrowers in order to facilitate their restructuring and revitalization efforts. We may also forbear from exercising some or all of our rights as a creditor against them, and we may forgive loans to them in conjunction with their debt restructurings. We may take these steps even when such steps might not be warranted from the perspective of our short-term or narrow economic interests or a technical analysis of our legal rights against those borrowers, in light of other factors such as our longer-term economic interests and our commitment to supporting the Japanese economy. These practices may substantially increase our exposure to troubled borrowers and increase our losses. Credit losses may also increase if we elect, or are forced by economic or other considerations, to sell or write off our problem loans at a larger discount, in a larger amount or in a different time or manner, than we may otherwise want.
Although we, from time to time, enter into collateral, guarantee and credit derivative transactions, including credit default swap contracts, to manage our credit risk exposure, such transactions may not provide the protection against credit defaults that we intended due to counterparty defaults or other reasons. For more information on our credit derivative transactions, see Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Our loan losses could prove to be materially different from our estimates and could materially exceed our current allowance for credit losses, in which case we may need to provide for additional allowance for credit losses and may also record credit losses beyond our allowance. Our allowance for credit losses in our loan portfolio is based on evaluations of customers’ creditworthiness and the value of collateral we hold. We recorded ¥321.7 billion of provision for credit losses, including ¥46.4 billion of estimated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Commercial segment of our loan portfolio, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. We consolidate certain foreign subsidiaries based on financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31 as this date and our fiscal year which ended on March 31 have been treated as coterminous. For the fiscal year
17
ended March 31, 2020, the effect of recording a provision for credit losses and a provision for off-balance sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and standby letters of credit, as an intervening event primarily due to the economic environment triggered by COVID-19 pandemic for the three-month period ended March 31 2020 would have been approximately ¥84 billion and would have resulted in a decrease of ¥58 billion to net income attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. This intervening event occurring during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, however, was not recognized for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. See Note 4 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. While we closely observe conditions of our individual borrowers and industry trends, we may need to provide for additional allowance for credit losses due to deterioration in domestic and global economic conditions as well as commodity price fluctuations or other conditions specific to certain borrowers.
Also, the regulatory standards or guidance on establishing allowances may also change, causing us to change some of the evaluations used in determining the allowances. As a result, we may need to provide for additional allowance for credit losses. For example, as a result of our adoption on April 1, 2020 of an accounting methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates, we estimated that our allowance for credit losses and our allowance for off-balance sheet credit instruments increased by an aggregate of approximately ¥380 billion to ¥450 billion as of the opening balance sheet date. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Our efforts to diversify our portfolio to avoid any concentration of credit risk exposures to particular industries or counterparties may prove insufficient. For example, our credit exposures to the energy and real estate industries are relatively high in comparison to other industries. The credit quality of borrowers in this sector do not necessarily correspond to general economic conditions in Japan or other parts of the world, and adverse fluctuations in oil and other commodity prices or adverse developments in the real estate market may disproportionately increase our credit costs.
When we believe there is an improvement in asset quality, we may reverse the allowance for credit losses to a level management deems appropriate and record the amount of reversal in our consolidated statements of income. For example, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we recorded ¥1.0 billion of reversal of credit losses for the Residential segment of our loan portfolio, while recording a total of ¥322.7 billion of provision for credit losses for the other segments. We have historically recorded provision for credit losses rather than recording reversal of credit losses in most periods, and in future periods we may need to recognize provision for credit losses for all of the segments of our loan portfolio or to a larger extent for some or all of our loan portfolio segments.
For more information on our loan portfolio, see “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Loan Portfolio.”
We may incur further losses as a result of financial difficulties relating to other financial institutions, both directly and through the effect they may have on the overall banking environment and on their borrowers.
Declining asset quality and other financial problems may exist, arise or worsen at some domestic and foreign financial institutions, including banks,
non-bank
lending and credit institutions, securities companies and insurance companies. Financial difficulties relating to financial institutions may not only lead to liquidity and insolvency problems for such financial institutions but also result in systemic problems adversely affecting the financial market and the wider economy.Financial difficulties relating to financial institutions could adversely affect us because we have extended loans, some of which may need to be classified as impaired loans, to banks, securities companies, insurance
18
companies and other financial institutions that are not our consolidated subsidiaries. Our loans to banks and other financial institutions have been more than 10% of our total loans as of each
year-end
in the three fiscal years ended March 31, 2020, with the percentage being 14.3% as of March 31, 2020. We may also be adversely affected because we enter into transactions, such as derivative transactions, in the ordinary course of business, with other banks and financial institutions as counterparties. For example, we enter into credit derivatives with banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies and other financial institutions for managing credit risk exposures, for facilitating client transactions, and for proprietary trading purposes. The notional amount of the protection we sold through these instruments was ¥3.93 trillion as of March 31, 2020. In addition, we may be adversely affected because:• | we are shareholders of financial institutions; |
• | financial institutions that face difficulties may terminate or reduce financial support to borrowers, putting such borrowers under financial stress and causing our loans to such borrowers to be impaired; |
• | we may be requested to participate in providing support to distressed financial institutions; |
• | the government may elect to provide regulatory, tax, funding or other benefits to financial institutions under its supervision or control to strengthen their capital or increase their profitability or for other purposes, causing our competitiveness against such financial institutions to weaken; |
• | our deposit insurance premiums may rise if deposit insurance funds prove to be inadequate; |
• | bankruptcies or government control or other intervention of financial institutions may generally undermine the confidence of depositors in, or adversely affect the overall business environment for, financial institutions; and |
• | negative media coverage of the financial industry or system, regardless of its accuracy and applicability to us, may harm our reputation as well as market confidence in the financial industry and system. |
Risk Relating to Our Strategic Equity Portfolio
If the Japanese stock market or other global markets decline in the future, we may incur losses on our securities portfolio and our capital ratios will be adversely affected.
A decline in Japanese stock prices could reduce the value of the domestic marketable equity securities that we hold, which accounted for 10.8% of our total investment securities portfolio, and 1.4% of our total assets, as of March 31, 2020. Our strategic equity investments in Japan accounted for a vast majority of our total domestic marketable equity securities of ¥4.74 trillion as of March 31, 2020. A decline in stock prices may also reduce our regulatory capital ratios because unrealized gains and losses on the equity securities we hold are reflected in the calculation of such ratios. Weakening or stagnant economic conditions in Japan, the United States, China, the Eurozone and Asian countries may have a significant negative impact on Japanese companies, which in turn will cause their stock prices to decline. Japanese stock prices may fluctuate significantly and negatively in future periods, as the global economy remains volatile and investors continue to observe the changes in economic, monetary and trade policies mainly in these countries and regions. Concerns over the impact of geopolitical tensions and conflicts in various parts of the world on Japanese companies may also adversely affect stock prices in Japan. In addition, the global trend towards further reduction in risk assets could result in lower stock prices.
See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Business Environment” and “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Investment Portfolio.”
Market Risk
Fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and stock prices could adversely affect the value or the yield of our portfolio.
We undertake extensive financial market operations involving a variety of financial instruments, including derivatives, and hold large volumes of such financial instruments. As a result, our financial condition and results
19
of operations are subject to the risks relating to these operations and holdings. The primary risks are fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and stock prices in and outside of Japan.
The aggregate carrying amount of the Japanese government and corporate bonds and foreign bonds, including U.S. Treasury bonds, that we held as of March 31, 2020 was 8.7% of our total assets. In particular, the Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds accounted for 7.4% of our total assets as of March 31, 2020. If market interest rates decline due to such factors as changes in the monetary policies of central banks in various jurisdictions, the yield on the Japanese government bonds and foreign government bonds that we hold may also decline. Furthermore, if short-term interest rates rise to a larger extent than long-term interest rates, our interest income may be adversely affected. If interest rates in and outside of Japan rise, we may incur significant losses on sales of, and valuation losses on, our bond portfolio. For more information on our bond portfolio, see “Selected Statistical Data—Investment Portfolio.”
Appreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and other major currencies causes the
yen-converted
value of our foreign currency-denominated investments to decline and may cause us to recognize significant losses on sales of, or valuation losses on, such investments in our financial statements. Furthermore, if stock prices decline, the value of marketable equity securities and trading account securities that we hold also declines, we may incur significant losses on sales of, and valuation losses on, our equity securities and trading account securities portfolios.In addition, the derivative financial instruments in our trading portfolio may cause us to record significant gains or losses, when sold or marked to market, and may fluctuate from period to period due to numerous factors that are beyond our control, including interest rate levels, foreign currency exchange rates, stock price fluctuations, the credit risk of our counterparties, and general market volatility.
For information on fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and stock prices, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Business Environment.”
Our assessment and management of market risks, including those related to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and securities prices, may prove insufficient and, as a result, our actual losses in the future may exceed our estimated market risk exposure. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk—Market Risk Management.”
Funding Liquidity Risk
A downgrade of our credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to access and maintain liquidity.
Any downgrade of the credit ratings assigned to us or our debt securities by Moody’s, Fitch, Standard & Poor’s or any other credit rating agency could increase the cost, or decrease the availability, of our funding, particularly in U.S. dollars and other foreign currencies, adversely affect our liquidity position or net interest margin, trigger additional collateral or funding obligations, and result in losses of depositors, investors and counterparties willing or permitted to transact with us, thereby reducing our ability to generate income and weakening our financial position.
Assuming all of the relevant credit rating agencies downgraded the credit ratings of MUFG, MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings as of March 31, 2020 by
one-notch
on the same date, we estimate that MUFG and its three main subsidiaries would have been required to provide of approximately ¥58.8 billion of additional collateral under their derivative contracts. Assuming atwo-notch
downgrade by all of the same credit rating agencies occurring on the same date, we estimate that the additional collateral requirements for the same MUFG group companies under their derivative contracts would have been approximately ¥87.0 billion.Rating agencies regularly evaluate us and our major subsidiaries as well as our and their respective debt securities. Their ratings are based on a number of factors, including their assessment of the relative financial
20
strength of MUFG or of the relevant subsidiary, as well as conditions generally affecting the financial services industry in Japan or on a global basis, some of which are not entirely within our control. As a result of changes in their evaluation of these factors or in their rating methodologies, rating agencies may downgrade our ratings or our subsidiaries’ ratings. In April 2020, Fitch downgraded the long-term credit ratings of MUFG, MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking by
one-notch
from A toA-.
In addition, in April 2020, Standard and Poor’s changed the credit rating outlook for MUFG, MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking from “Positive” to “Stable”.For additional information, see “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Sources of Funding and Liquidity.”
Operational Risk
We may become subject to regulatory actions or other legal proceedings relating to our transactions or other aspects of our operations, which could result in significant financial losses, restrictions on our operations and damage to our reputation.
We conduct our business subject to ongoing regulation and associated regulatory and legal risks. Global financial institutions, including us, currently face heightened regulatory scrutiny as a result of the concerns developing in the global financial sector, and growing public pressure to demand even greater regulatory surveillance following several high-profile scandals and risk management failures in the financial industry. In the current regulatory environment, we are subject to various regulatory inquiries or investigations from time to time in connection with various aspects of our business and operations. In addition, multiple government authorities with overlapping jurisdiction more frequently conduct investigations and take other regulatory actions in coordination with one another or separately on the same or related matters. Our controls may be found insufficient in addressing regulatory or public concerns relating to money laundering, economic sanctions, bribery, corruption, financial crimes, or unfair or inappropriate business practices, or in meeting market or industry rules or standards, customer protection requirements, or corporate behavior expectations.
In November 2017, MUFG Bank agreed to the entry by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or OCC, of a consent order that includes remedial terms and conditions that are substantively the same as those included in the consent agreements that MUFG Bank had reached with the New York Department of Financial Services in 2013 and 2014 pertaining to compliance with OFAC sanctions requirements. The consent order was a condition for the conversion of MUFG Bank’s branches and agencies in the United States from state-licensed branches and agencies under the supervision of state regulatory agencies to federally licensed branches and agencies under the supervision of the OCC. In February 2019, MUFG Bank entered into a consent order with the OCC, relating to deficiencies identified by the OCC in the Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering compliance program of MUFG Bank’s U.S. branches in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The consent order requires MUFG Bank and its U.S. branches to implement various remedial measures to address the deficiencies found in the OCC examination, including a comprehensive action plan satisfactory to the OCC, implementation of measures to ensure effective compliance management and qualified staffing, the adoption of comprehensive Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering risk assessment policies and procedures, and other remedial actions. MUFG Bank is undertaking necessary actions relating to the consent orders.
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.
21
These developments or other similar matters may result in additional regulatory actions against us or agreements to make significant additional settlement payments. These developments or other matters to which we are subject from time to time may also expose us to substantial monetary damages, legal defense costs, criminal and civil liability, and restrictions on our business operations as well as damage to our reputation. Our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for future strategic initiatives may also be adversely affected. The outcome of such matters, including the extent of the potential impact of any unfavorable outcome on our financial results, however, is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. The extent of financial, human and other resources required to conduct any investigations or to implement any corrective or preventive measures is similarly uncertain and could be significant. Such resources may also be difficult for us to secure in a timely manner.
Failure to safeguard personal and other confidential information may result in liability, reputational damage or financial losses.
As our operations expand in volume, complexity and geographic scope, we are exposed to increased risk of confidential information in our possession being lost, leaked, altered or falsified as a result of human or system error, misconduct, unlawful behavior or scheme, unauthorized access or natural or human-caused disasters. Our information systems and information management policies and procedures may not be sufficient to safeguard confidential information against such risks.
As a financial institution in possession of customer information, we are obligated to treat personal and other confidential information as required by the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, the Act on the Use of Personal Identification Numbers in the Administration of Government Affairs, the Banking Law and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan, as well as other similar laws and regulations of other jurisdictions in which we operate. In the event that personal information in our possession about our customers or employees is leaked or improperly accessed and subsequently misused, we may be subject to liability and regulatory action. We may have to provide compensation for economic loss and emotional distress arising out of a failure to protect such information. In addition, such incidents could create a negative public perception of our operations, systems or brand, which may in turn decrease customer and market confidence and materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Moreover, any loss, leakage, alteration or falsification of confidential information, or any malfunction or failure of our information systems, may result in significant disruptions to our business operations or plans or may require us to incur significant financial, human and other resources to implement corrective measures or enhance our information systems and information management policies and procedures.
Our operations are highly dependent on our information, communications and transaction management systems and are subject to an increasing risk of cyber-attacks and other information security threats and to changes in the business and regulatory environment.
Our information, communications and transaction management systems, which include not only our own proprietary systems but also those third-party systems that are provided for our use or to which our systems are connected, constitute a core infrastructure for our operations. The proper functioning of our information, communications and transaction management systems is critical to our ability to efficiently and accurately process a large volume of transactions, ensure adequate internal controls, appropriately manage various risks, and otherwise service our clients and customers, particularly in the current business environment with increasing dependence on remote or online networks and our strategy to promote digitization.
Cyber-attacks, unauthorized access and computer viruses are becoming increasingly more sophisticated and more difficult to predict, detect and prevent. For instance, bank internal financial transaction systems or automatic teller machines may become the target of cyber-attacks for monetary gain, and bank internal information systems may become the target of confidential information theft. In addition, banks’ websites or customer internet banking systems may become the target of cyber-attacks for political and other purposes. These cyber threats, as well as our failure to appropriately and timely anticipate and deal with changes associated with
22
technological advances and new systems and tools introduced in response to industry, regulatory and other developments, could cause disruptions to, and malfunctions of, information, communications and transaction management systems and result in fraud or other misconduct, unintended releases of confidential and proprietary information stored in or transmitted through the systems, interruptions in the operations of our clients, customers, counterparties and service providers, and deterioration in our ability to service our clients and customers. In addition, our banking and other transaction management systems may not meet all applicable business and regulatory requirements in an environment where such requirements are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complicated. Furthermore, our system development or improvement projects, many of which are critical to our ability to operate in accordance with market and regulatory standards, may not be completed as planned due to the complexity and other difficulty relating to such projects. These consequences could result in financial losses, including costs and expenses incurred in connection with countermeasures and improvements as well as compensation to affected parties, lead to regulatory actions, diminish our clients’ and customers’ satisfaction with and confidence in us, and harm our reputation in the market, which could in turn adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, significant financial, human and other resources may be required to design, implement and enhance measures to manage cyber and information security risks and comply with regulatory requirements.
Transactions with counterparties in countries designated by the U.S. Department of State as state sponsors of terrorism may lead some potential customers and investors in the United States and other countries to avoid doing business with us or investing in our shares.
We, through our subsidiaries, engage in limited business activities with entities in or affiliated with Iran, including transactions with counterparties owned or controlled by the Iranian government, and our commercial banking subsidiary has a representative office in Iran for information gathering purposes only. The U.S. Department of State has designated Iran and other countries as “state sponsors of terrorism,” and U.S. law generally prohibits U.S. persons from doing business with such countries. We currently have limited business activities conducted with entities in or affiliated with such countries. Such business activities are conducted in accordance with our policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with regulations applicable in the jurisdictions in which we operate and with exemptions and general licenses available under U.S. law.
We have transactions with counterparties in or affiliated with countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism which consist of receiving deposits or holding assets on behalf of individuals residing in Japan who are citizens of countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism and processing payments to or from entities in or affiliated with these countries on behalf of our customers. These transactions do not have a material impact on our business or financial condition. For a further discussion of transactions required to be disclosed under the U.S. Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—United States—Disclosure pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.”
We are aware of initiatives by U.S. governmental entities and
non-government
entities, including institutional investors such as pension funds, to adopt or consider adopting laws, regulations or policies prohibiting transactions with or investment in, or requiring divestment from, entities doing business with Iran and other countries identified as state sponsors of terrorism. It is possible that such initiatives may result in our being unable to gain or retain entities subject to such prohibitions as customers, counter-parties or investors in our shares. In addition, depending on socio-political developments, our reputation may suffer due to our transactions with counterparties in or affiliated with these countries. The above circumstances could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.Global financial institutions, including us, have become subject to an increasingly complex set of sanctions laws and regulations in recent years, and this regulatory environment is expected to continue. Moreover, the measures proposed or adopted vary across the major jurisdictions, increasing the cost and resources necessary to design and implement an appropriate global compliance program. The U.S. federal government and some state
23
governments in the United States have enacted legislation designed to limit economic and financial transactions with Iran by limiting the ability of financial institutions that may have engaged in any one of a broad range of activities related to Iran to conduct various transactions in the relevant jurisdictions. In addition, in May 2018, the United States withdrew from participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Under subsequently issued executive orders, the United States may impose secondary sanctions against
non-U.S.
persons who engage in or facilitate a broad range of transactions and activities involving Iran. The Japanese government has also implemented a series of measures under the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act, such as freezing the assets of persons involved in Iran’s sensitive nuclear activities and development of nuclear weapon delivery systems, and our most recently modified policies and procedures take into account the current Japanese regulatory requirements. We continue to implement measures to enhance our policies and procedures to comply with such legislative and regulatory requirements. There remains a risk of potential regulatory action against us, however, if regulators perceive the modified policies and procedures not to be in compliance with applicable legislation and regulations.Legal and regulatory changes could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
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 the 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. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation.”
Future developments or changes in laws, regulations, rules, policies, accounting standards or methods, voluntary codes of practice 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 ability 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.
Because of our loans to consumers and our shareholdings in companies engaged in consumer lending, changes in the business or regulatory environment for consumer finance companies in Japan may further adversely affect our financial results.
We have a large loan portfolio in the consumer lending industry as well as large shareholdings in subsidiaries and equity method investees in the consumer finance industry. Our domestic loans to consumers amount to approximately
one-seventh
of our total outstanding loans. Of this amount, the consumer loans provided by Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS, Co., Ltd., which is our primary consumer financing subsidiary, were ¥565.6 billion as of March 31, 2020, compared to ¥578.5 billion as of March 31, 2019.Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS’s consumer loan portfolio has been adversely affected by a series of regulatory reforms that were introduced in Japan between 2006 and 2010, which have negatively affected the domestic consumer lending industry. In December 2006, the Japanese Diet passed legislation to reform the regulations relating to the consumer lending business, including amendments to the Act Regulating the Receipt of Contributions, the Receipt of Deposits, and Interest Rates, which, effective June 18, 2010, reduced the maximum permissible interest rate from 29.2% per annum to 20% per annum. The regulatory reforms also included amendments to the Money Lending Business Act, which, effective June 18, 2010, abolished the
so-called
“gray-24
zone interest.” Gray-zone interest refers to interest rates exceeding the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Act (between 15% per annum to 20% per annum depending on the amount of principal). Prior to June 18, 2010, gray-zone interest was permitted under certain conditions set forth in the Money Lending Business Act. As a result of the regulatory reforms, all interest rates are now subject to the lower limits imposed by the Interest Rate Restriction Act, compelling lending institutions, including our consumer finance subsidiaries and equity method investees, to lower the interest rates they charge borrowers.
In addition, as a result of decisions by the Supreme Court of Japan prior to June 18, 2010 imposing stringent requirements under the Money Lending Business Act for charging gray-zone interest rates, consumer finance companies have experienced a significant increase in borrowers’ claims for reimbursement of previously collected interest payments in excess of the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Act.
Following the various legal developments in June 2010 and other industry developments, Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS revised its estimate of allowance for repayment of excess interest by updating management’s future forecast to reflect new reimbursement claims information and other data. As of March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, we had ¥23.7 billion, ¥25.0 billion and ¥29.4 billion of allowance for repayment of excess interest, respectively.
These developments have adversely affected, and these and any future developments may further adversely affect, the operations and financial condition of our subsidiaries, equity method investees and borrowers which are engaged in consumer lending, which in turn may affect the value of our related shareholdings and loan portfolio.
Damage to our reputation could harm our businesses.
We are one of the leading financial institutions in Japan and one of the handful
G-SIBs
in the world, and we aim to be the world’s most trusted financial group. Our ability to conduct business is indispensably dependent on the trust and confidence of our customers, as well as regional and global communities. Our reputation is critical in maintaining our relationships with customers, investors, regulators and the general public. Our reputation may be damaged by their negative perceptions of us and our operations in light of their concerns over human rights, the environment, public health and safety, or other corporate social responsibilities, or by our transactions or operations if they are deemed repugnant to the intent and policy underlying applicable laws and regulations such as anti-money laundering, economic sanctions and competition laws as well as the prohibition on dealing with anti-social forces. Failure to prevent or properly address these issues may result in impairment of our corporate brand, loss of our existing or prospective customers or investors, or increased public or regulatory scrutiny, and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Risks Related to Owning Our Shares
It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our directors or management members, or to enforce against us or those persons judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws.
We are a joint stock company incorporated under the laws of Japan. Almost all of our directors or management members reside outside the United States. Many of our assets and the assets of these persons are located in Japan and elsewhere outside the United States. It may not be possible, therefore, for U.S. investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons or to enforce, against us or these persons, judgments obtained in the U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws.
We believe there is doubt as to the enforceability in Japan, in original actions or in actions brought in Japanese courts to enforce judgments of U.S. courts, of claims predicated solely upon the U.S. federal or state securities laws mainly because the Civil Execution Act of Japan requires Japanese courts to deny requests for the
25
enforcement of judgments of foreign courts if foreign judgments fail to satisfy the requirements prescribed by the Civil Execution Act, including:
• | the jurisdiction of the foreign court be recognized under laws, regulations, treaties or conventions; |
• | proper service of process be made on relevant defendants, or relevant defendants be given appropriate protection if such service is not received; |
• | the judgment and proceedings of the foreign court not be repugnant to public policy as applied in Japan; and |
• | there exist reciprocity as to the recognition by a court of the relevant foreign jurisdiction of a final judgment of a Japanese court. |
Judgments obtained in the U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws may not satisfy these requirements.
Risks Related to Owning Our American Depositary Shares
As a holder of American Depositary Shares, you have fewer rights than a shareholder of record in our shareholder register since you must act through the depositary to exercise these rights.
The rights of our shareholders under Japanese law to take actions such as voting, receiving dividends and distributions, bringing derivative actions, examining our accounting books and records and exercising appraisal rights are available only to shareholders of record. Because the depositary, through its custodian, is the record holder of the shares underlying the American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, only the depositary can exercise shareholder rights relating to the deposited shares. ADS holders, in their capacity, will not be able to directly bring a derivative action, examine our accounting books and records and exercise appraisal rights. We have appointed The Bank of New York Mellon as depositary, and we have the authority to replace the depositary.
Pursuant to the deposit agreement among us, the depositary and a holder of ADSs, the depositary will make efforts to exercise voting or any other rights associated with shares underlying ADSs in accordance with the instructions given by ADS holders, and to pay to ADS holders dividends and distributions collected from us. However, the depositary can exercise reasonable discretion in carrying out the instructions or making distributions, and is not liable for failure to do so as long as it has acted in good faith. Therefore, ADS holders may not be able to exercise voting or any other rights in the manner that they had intended, or may lose some or all of the value of the dividends or the distributions. Moreover, the depositary agreement that governs the obligations of the depositary may be amended or terminated by us and the depositary without ADS holders’ consent, notice, or any reason. As a result, ADS holders may be prevented from having the rights in connection with the deposited shares exercised in the way ADS holders had wished or at all.
ADS holders are dependent on the depositary to receive our communications. We send to the depositary all of our communications to ADS holders, including annual reports, notices and voting materials, in Japanese. ADS holders may not receive all of our communications with shareholders of record in our shareholder register in the same manner or on an equal basis. In addition, ADS holders may not be able to exercise their rights as ADS holders due to delays in the depositary transmitting our shareholder communications to ADS holders. For a detailed discussion of the rights of ADS holders and the terms of the deposit agreement, see Exhibit 2(c) to this Annual Report.

Item 4. | Information on the Company. |
A. | History and Development of the Company |
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.
MUFG is a bank holding company incorporated as a joint stock company () under the Companies Act of Japan. We are the holding company for MUFG Bank, Ltd. (formerly, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.), Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd., and other companies engaged in a wide range of financial businesses.

On April 2, 2001, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd., Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Corporation, or Mitsubishi Trust Bank, and Nippon Trust and Banking Co., Ltd. established Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc., or MTFG, to be a holding company for the three entities. Before that, each of the banks had been a publicly traded company. On April 2, 2001, through a
stock-for-stock
exchange, they became wholly-owned subsidiaries of MTFG, and the former shareholders of the three banks became shareholders of MTFG. Nippon Trust and Banking was later merged into Mitsubishi Trust Bank.On June 29, 2005, the merger agreement between MTFG and UFJ Holdings, Inc. was approved at the general shareholders meetings of MTFG and UFJ Holdings. As the surviving entity, MTFG was renamed “Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.” The merger of the two bank holding companies was completed on October 1, 2005.
On September 30, 2007, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings, which was then called “Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Co., Ltd.,” or MUS, became our wholly-owned subsidiary through a share exchange transaction.
On October 13, 2008, we formed a global strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley and, as part of the alliance, made an equity investment in Morgan Stanley in the form of convertible and
non-convertible
preferred stock, and subsequently appointed a representative to Morgan Stanley’s board of directors.On October 21, 2008, we completed a tender offer for outstanding shares of ACOM CO., LTD. common stock, raising our ownership in ACOM to approximately 40%.
On November 4, 2008, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ completed the acquisition of all of the shares of common stock of UnionBanCal Corporation, or UNBC, not previously owned by Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ and, as a result, UNBC became a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of MUFG.
On May 1, 2010, we and Morgan Stanley integrated our securities and investment banking businesses in Japan into two joint venture securities companies, one of which is Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities. Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities was created by spinning off the wholesale and retail securities businesses conducted in Japan from Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings and subsequently assuming certain operations in Japan from a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

Medium-Term Business Plan
Basic Company Policy
Under the current medium-term business plan for the three-year period ending March 31, 2021, we aim to deliver optimal value to all of our stakeholders through simple, speedy and transparent group-integrated operations.
We are seeking to improve our group management approach by shifting from our previous group collaboration and group-driven management approach to a new integrated group-based management approach.

The impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic is rippling through the real economy.COVID-19
is expected to have a long-term impact and irreversible effects on the structure of society, including global values and the behavior patterns of customers. Prior to the pandemic, we worked to identify the changes that had manifested in the social environment before the pandemic. To address the changes, we adopted the new integrated group-based management approach, leveraged digital strategies to promote the core framework of structural reforms, completed transactions designed to benefit from future overseas growth and implemented other strategies. Going forward, we believe it will be necessary to focus on trends such as the digital shift in society, the rising awareness of solving social issues and social contributions, the changes and diversification of work styles and values, and the creation of new supply chains, in addition to the changes to the social environment we identified and began to address prior to the pandemic. In particular, we believe the digital shift in society presents significant opportunities for redefining and refining our vision on MUFG’s role in society. We will work to implement corporate operation reforms, including customer contact points and employee work styles. Furthermore, we aim to contribute to sustainable growth of the society by providing solutions to social issues. By integrating our social issue solutions and management strategies, we will strive to achieve sustainable growth for MUFG. Based on these new measures, we will promote the digitalization of transaction contact points and work styles, seek to achieve sound business performance (with a focus on robustness and resilience in our operations), and promote an engagement-focused management approach that is attractive to employees and fosters greater motivation for employee participation.Group Business Strategy
Under our current medium-term business plan, we are implementing “Eleven Transformation Initiatives”—specific strategic initiatives designed to enable us to cope with adverse changes in the domestic or overseas business environment and to achieve sustainable growth. Each initiative constitutes a pillar for our strategy involving business operations that (1) have large growth potential, (2) allow us to expand on our group capabilities to the fullest extent, and, (3) are expected to grow as a core business of the group or a foundation for such a business. Our group operating companies, business groups and corporate center functions will collaborate on the implementation of these initiatives with an aim to improve our profitability.
Additionally, we have established a new business group focused on retail and small and
medium-sized
enterprise banking businesses outside of Japan with the goal to effectively capture the market growth in the33
United States and Southeast Asia. Under our previous medium-term business plan, we took strategic steps towards building a business platform in South East Asia through the expansion of Krungsri’s business in Thailand and our strategic investments in Security Bank in the Philippines and Bank Danamon in Indonesia. We seek to enhance the enterprise value of each of MUFG Union Bank in the United States and our other major local commercial banking subsidiaries and affiliates that are our partner banks, including VietinBank in Vietnam and other banks in South East Asia, as well as our Japanese banking subsidiaries through synergies expected to be achieved by sharing and deploying across these banks their respective strengths and expertise.
Taking the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic into consideration, we will implement core strategies based on our enhanced management policy. These core strategies include (1) digitalization of our domestic retail business , taking the digital shift in society as an opportunity , (2) restructuring of our global strategy through identification of the growth potentials and strengths of each region, optimal allocation of management resources, and collaboration with Grab, which provides various digital financial andnon-financial
services in Southeast Asia and into which we agreed to invest up to $706 million, or ¥78.3 billion, to take on the challenges of next-generation financial services , (3) implementation of further operational foundation and process reforms, including streamlining of administrative work by switching to paperless methods, and (4) creation of a work environment and operational infrastructure that reflect and support the diverse values of employees and work style reforms. Although the progress on some of our measures may be delayed due to the impact of theCOVID-19
pandemic and further developments relating to the pandemic, we will carefully assess the extent of the impact on such measures. See “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business Environment.”Eleven Transformation Initiatives
(1) Digitalization Strategy
Enhanced use of digital technologies is a critical part of our overall transformation strategy, and we intend to develop and implement a wide range of measures to enhance our digital technology use to improve

Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group

Business Environment and Strategy
In the domestic market in which we operate, unfavorable conditions remain such as the negative impact of the Bank of Japan’s negative interest rate policy on the financial market and intensified competition. In addition, demographic changes, including Japan’s aging population with a declining birthrate, and technological developments, including artificial intelligence and digitalization, can change the way banking and other financial services are used in Japan. With a goal of becoming “the top financial group in the retail and commercial banking business segment in Japan, achieving sustainable growth along with customers and society,” we seek to enhance and integrate the capabilities of our group companies to deliver value that exceeds customer expectations and improve customer satisfaction.
In the wealth management business, which is one of our key strategic focus areas, we are implementing measures to improve our group company structure for offering wealth management solutions, including asset management, asset and business succession transfer, and real estate services. For example, with an aim to strengthen our wealth management business, we plan to merge Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities and Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley PB Securities.

Global Strategic Alliance with Morgan Stanley
As of March 31, 2020, we held approximately 377 million shares of Morgan Stanley’s common stock representing approximately 23.9% of the voting rights in Morgan Stanley and Series C Preferred Stock with a face value of approximately $521.4 million and 10% dividend. As of the same date, we had two representatives appointed to Morgan Stanley’s board of directors. We adopted the equity method of accounting for our investment in Morgan Stanley beginning with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
In conjunction with Morgan Stanley, we formed two securities joint venture companies in May 2010 to integrate our respective Japanese securities companies. We converted the wholesale and retail securities businesses conducted in Japan by Mitsubishi UFJ Securities into Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities. Morgan Stanley contributed the investment banking operations conducted in Japan by its former wholly-owned subsidiary, Morgan Stanley Japan, to Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities, and converted the sales and trading and capital markets businesses conducted in Japan by Morgan Stanley Japan into an entity called Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities, Co., Ltd. We hold a 60% economic interest in Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities and Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities, and Morgan Stanley holds a 40% economic interest in Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities and Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities. We hold a 60% voting interest and Morgan Stanley holds a 40% voting interest in Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities, and we hold a 49% voting interest and Morgan Stanley holds a 51% voting interest in Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities. Morgan Stanley’s and our economic and voting interests in the securities joint venture companies are held through intermediate holding companies. We have retained control of Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities and we account for our interest in Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities under the equity method due to our significant influence over Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities. The board of directors of Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities has fifteen members, nine of whom are designated by us and six of whom are designated by Morgan Stanley. The board of directors of Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities has ten members, six of whom are
44
designated by Morgan Stanley and four of whom are designated by us. The CEO of Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities is designated by us and the CEO of Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities is designated by Morgan Stanley.
We have also expanded the scope of our global strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley into other geographies and businesses, including (1) a loan marketing joint venture that provides clients in the United States with access to the world-class lending and capital markets services from both companies, (2) business referral arrangements in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, covering capital markets, loans, fixed income sales and other businesses, (3) global commodities referral arrangements whereby MUFG Bank and its affiliates refer clients in need of commodities-related hedging solutions to certain affiliates of Morgan Stanley, and (4) an employee secondment program to share best practices and expertise in a wide range of business areas.
In April 2019, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities and Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley PB Securities Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities, agreed on a merger whereby Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities will be the surviving company. The merger is currently scheduled to be completed on August 1, 2020, subject to changes in the circumstances including the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic. Through the merger, we aim to further strengthen our wealth management business by leveraging our broad customer base, utilizing Morgan Stanley’s global and high sophisticated expertise, and further collaborating with our and Morgan Stanley’s other group companies.See “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Major Investees—If our strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley fails, we could suffer financial or reputational loss.”
Competition
We face strong competition in all of our principal areas of operation. The structural reforms in financial industry regulations and recent developments in financial markets have resulted in some significant changes in the Japanese financial system and prompted banks to merge or reorganize their operations. In addition, development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain has also allowed
non-financial
institutions to enter the financial services industry with alternative services, thus changing the nature of competition from other financial institutions as well as from other types of businesses. See “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Strategies—Our business may be adversely affected by competitive pressures, which have partly increased due to regulatory changes and recent market changes in the financial industry domestically and globally.”Japan
Since their formation in 2000 and 2001, the
so-called
Japanese “mega bank” groups, including us, the Mizuho Financial Group and the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, have continued to expand their businesses and take measures designed to enhance their financial group capabilities. For example, in July 2013, Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. merged, and the merged entity presently operates under the corporate name of “Mizuho Bank, Ltd.” In November 2015, SMBC Trust Bank, Ltd., a subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, acquired the retail banking business of Citibank Japan, Ltd.Competition among the mega bank groups are expected to continue in various financial sectors as they have recently announced plans to expand, or have expanded, their respective businesses. For example, in the securities sector, in May 2010, in conjunction with Morgan Stanley, we created two securities joint venture companies in Japan, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities and Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities, by integrating the operations of Mitsubishi UFJ Securities and Morgan Stanley Japan. In January 2013, Mizuho Securities and Mizuho Investors Securities Co., Ltd. merged. For a discussion of the two securities joint venture companies created by us and Morgan Stanley, see “—B. Business Overview—Global Strategic Alliance with Morgan Stanley.”
45
In the retail business sector, customers often have needs for a broad range of financial products and services, such as investment trusts and insurance products. Recently, competition has increased due to the development of new products and distribution channels. For example, Japanese banks compete with one another by developing innovative proprietary computer technologies that allow them to deliver basic banking services in a more efficient manner and to create sophisticated new products in response to customer demand. Competition has also increased since the introduction in January 2014 of the Japanese individual savings account system, generally referred to as the NISA program, which currently offers tax exemptions on capital gains and dividend income for investments up to ¥1.2 million a year for a maximum of five years and which is expected to be amended in 2024. In addition, in December 2015, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Ltd. acquired Citi Cards Japan, Inc., which previously operated the credit card business of Citigroup Inc. in Japan.
In the private banking sector, competition among the mega bank groups has intensified as a result of recent corporate actions designed to strengthen their operations. We made Mitsubishi UFJ Merrill Lynch PB Securities Co., Ltd. a wholly owned subsidiary in December 2012 to enhance our private banking services for high
net-worth
customers, and changed its name to Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley PB Securities, Ltd. in March 2014. In April 2019, we announced a plan to merge Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley PB Securities into Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities. Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation acquired the former Société Générale Private Banking Japan, Ltd. from Société Générale S.A. and changed its name to SMBC Trust Bank, Ltd. in October 2013.In the consumer finance sector, recent regulatory reforms and legal developments have negatively impacted the business environment, resulting in failures of several consumer finance companies and intensified
competition among consumer finance companies that have remained in business, particularly among those affiliated with the mega banks. In April 2012, Promise Co., Ltd. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, and changed its name as SMBC Consumer Finance Co., Ltd. in July 2012. See “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Operational Risk—Because of our loans to consumers and our shareholdings in companies engaged in consumer lending, changes in the business or regulatory environment for consumer finance companies in Japan may further adversely affect our financial results.”
The trust assets business is an area that is becoming increasingly competitive because of regulatory changes in the industry that have expanded the products and services that can be offered since the
mid-2000s.
In addition, there is growing corporate demand for changes in the trust regulatory environment, such as reforms of the pension system and related accounting regulations under Japanese GAAP. Competition may increase in the future as changes are made to respond to such corporate demand and regulatory barriers to entry are lowered. Competition is also expected to intensify as a result of recent integrations and entrants in the industry. For example, in August 2015, JP Asset Management Co., Ltd. was established as a joint venture with the Japan Post Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank and Nomura Holdings, Inc. holding 50%, 30% and 20% equity interests, respectively, in the joint venture. In October 2016, the Mizuho Financial Group integrated Mizuho Asset Management Co., Ltd., Shinko Asset Management Co., Ltd. and the asset management business of Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd., all of which were asset management subsidiaries of the Mizuho Financial Group in Japan, and DIAM Co., Ltd., which was an asset management joint venture between the Mizuho Financial Group andDai-ichi
Life Insurance Company in Japan, creating Asset Management One Co., Ltd. In July 2016, the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group made Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management Co., Ltd. a consolidated subsidiary through the acquisition of additional equity interest in the asset management company. In March 2017, the Mizuho Financial Group announced plans to integrate Trust and Custody Services Bank, Ltd., its trust bank subsidiary specialized in the asset administration business, with Japan Trustee Services Bank, Ltd., which is a trust bank joint venture between Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings and Resona Bank, Ltd. specialized in the asset administration business. In May 2018, the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group announced a planned merger between Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management and Daiwa SB Investments Ltd.In recent years, the Japanese government has identified several governmental financial institutions as candidates to privatize. Under the current postal privatization law, Japan Post Bank and Japan Post Insurance may enter into new business areas upon obtaining government approvals, and if Japan Post Holdings’ equity
46
holdings decrease to 50% or below, the two companies will be allowed to enter into new business areas upon submission of a notice to the government. In such case, the Japan Post Group companies may seek to enter into new financial businesses and increasingly compete with us. Japan Post Holdings currently holds approximately 89% of the shares of Japan Post Bank. Japan Post Holdings’ equity holding in Japan Post Insurance decreased from around 89% to around 64% through a public offering of shares in April 2019. In addition, Japan Post Bank is one of the world’s largest holders of deposits, which provide a cost-effective source of funding for the bank. In April 2019, the cap imposed by law on the amount of deposits that Japan Post Bank may accept from each customer was raised from an aggregate of ¥13 million to ¥13 million in ordinary deposits plus ¥13 million in time deposits. See “—B. Business Overview—The Japanese Financial System—Government Financial Institutions.”
The mega bank groups face significant competition with other financial groups as well as companies that have traditionally not been engaged in banking services. For example, the Nomura Group has been a major player in the securities market in Japan. In addition, various Japanese
non-bank
financial institutions andnon-financial
companies have entered into the Japanese banking sector. For example, Orix Corporation, anon-bank
financial institution, as well as the Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd., Sony Corporation and Aeon Co., Ltd., which werenon-financial
companies, offer various banking services, often throughnon-traditional
distribution channels. Further, development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, or AI, and blockchain has also allowednon-financial
institutions to enter financial services industry with alternative services such as electronic settlement services, and these new entrants could become substantial competition to us. In June 2020, the Diet passed an amendment to the Payment Services Act, under which funds transfer services providers that provide only funds transfer services but do not provide deposit or loan services may be authorized by the FSA to provide funds transfer services exceeding one million yen, which is the current upper limit for their funds transfer services.Foreign
In the United States, we face substantial competition in all aspects of our business. We face competition from other large U.S. and
non-U.S.
money-center banks, as well as from similar institutions that provide financial services. Through MUFG Union Bank, we currently compete principally with U.S. andnon-U.S.
money-center and regional banks, thrift institutions, asset management companies, investment advisory companies, consumer finance companies, credit unions and other financial institutions.In other international markets, we face competition from commercial banks and similar financial institutions, particularly major international banks and the leading domestic banks in the local financial markets in which we conduct business. For example, Japanese mega banks, including us, and other major international banks have been expanding their operations in the Asian market, where leading local banks also have been growing and increasing their presence recently. Furthermore, we are aiming to expand our retail and small and
medium-sized
enterprise businesses along with our corporate banking business in Southeast Asia through our acquisition of Krungsri in Thailand and Bank Danamon in Indonesia as well as our strategic investments in VietinBank in Vietnam and Security Bank in the Philippines, and to compete with leading local banks in such businesses. See “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Strategies—Our strategy to expand the range of our financial products and services and the geographic scope of our business globally may fail if we are unable to anticipate or manage new or expanded risks that entail such expansion.” For a discussion of recent developments, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Recent Developments.”In addition, we may face further competition as a result of recent investments, mergers and other business
tie-ups
among global financial institutions, including, for example, our recent acquisitions of, and business and capital alliances with, asset management, administration and custody services companies.The Japanese Financial System
Japanese financial institutions may be categorized into three types:
• | the central bank, namely the Bank of Japan; |
47
• | private banking institutions; and |
• | government financial institutions. |
The Bank of Japan
The Bank of Japan’s role is to maintain price stability and the stability of the financial system to ensure a solid foundation for sound economic development.
Private Banking Institutions
Private banking institutions in Japan are commonly classified into two categories (the following numbers are based on information published by the FSA available as of February 10, 2020):
• | ordinary banks (122 ordinary banks and 55 foreign commercial banks with ordinary banking operations); and |
• | trust banks (14 trust banks, including two Japanese subsidiaries of foreign financial institutions). |
Ordinary banks in turn are classified as city banks, of which there are four, including MUFG Bank, and regional banks, of which there are 103 and other banks, of which there are 15. In general, the operations of ordinary banks correspond to commercial banking operations in the United States. City banks and regional banks are distinguished based on head office location as well as the size and scope of their operations.
The city banks are generally considered to constitute the largest and most influential group of banks in Japan. Generally, these banks are based in large cities, such as Tokyo and Osaka, and operate nationally through networks of branch offices. The city banks provide a wide variety of banking and other financial products and services to large corporate customers, including the major industrial companies in Japan, as well as small and
medium-sized
companies and retail customers.With some exceptions, the regional banks tend to be much smaller in terms of total assets than the city banks. Historically, each of the regional banks has been based in one of the Japanese prefectures and has extended its operations into neighboring prefectures. Their customers are mostly regional enterprises and local public utilities. The regional banks also lend to large corporations. In line with the recent trend among financial institutions toward mergers or business
tie-ups,
various regional banks have announced or are currently negotiating or pursuing integration transactions. The Japanese government currently promotes mergers between regional banks to ensure the stable availability of financial services in regional areas and, in May 2020, enacted special legislation to exempt such mergers from the application of certain anti-trust restrictions for 10 years.Trust banks, including Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, provide various trust services relating to money trusts, pension trusts and investment trusts and offer other services relating to real estate, stock transfer agency and testamentary services, as well as banking services.
In recent years, almost all of the city banks have consolidated with other city banks and, in some cases, integrated with trust banks. Consolidation or integration among these banks was achieved, in most cases, through the use of a bank holding company.
In addition to ordinary banks and trust banks, other private financial institutions in Japan, including banks operated by
non-financial
companies, shinkin banks, or credit associations, and credit cooperatives, are engaged primarily in making loans to small businesses and individuals.Government Financial Institutions
There are a number of government financial institutions in Japan, which are corporations wholly owned or majority-owned by the government and operate under the government’s supervision. Their funds are provided
48
mainly from government sources. Certain types of operations undertaken by these institutions have been or are planned to be assumed by, or integrated with the operations of, private corporations through privatizations and other measures.
Among them are the following:
• | The Development Bank of Japan, which was established for the purpose of contributing to the economic development of Japan by extending long-term loans, mainly to primary and secondary sector industries, and which was reorganized as a joint stock company in October 2008 as part of its ongoing privatization process, with the government being required by law to continue to hold 50% or more of the shares in the bank until the completion of certain specified investment operations, which the bank is required to endeavor to achieve by March 2026, and more than one-third for an unspecified period thereafter; |
• | Japan Finance Corporation, which was formed in October 2008, through the merger of the international financial operations of the former Japan Bank for International Cooperation, National Life Finance Corporation, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Finance Corporation, and Japan Finance Corporation for Small and Medium Enterprise, for the primary purposes of supplementing and encouraging the private financing of exports, imports, overseas investments and overseas economic cooperation, and supplementing private financing to the general public, small and medium-sized enterprises and those engaged in agriculture, forestry and fishery. In April 2012, Japan Finance Corporation spun off its international operations to create Japan Bank for International Cooperation as a separate government-owned entity; |
• | Japan Housing Finance Agency, which was originally established in June 1950 as the Government Housing Loan Corporation for the purpose of providing housing loans to the general public, and which was reorganized as an incorporated administrative agency and started to specialize in securitization of housing loans in April 2007; and |
• | The Japan Post Group companies, a group of joint stock companies including Japan Post Bank, which were formed in October 2007 as part of the Japanese government’s privatization plan for the former Japan Post, a government-run public services corporation, which had been the Postal Service Agency until March 2003. In November 2015, approximately 11% of the outstanding shares of each of Japan Post Bank, Japan Post Insurance and Japan Post Holdings were sold to the public, and these companies are currently listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In September 2017, an additional 22% of the outstanding shares of Japan Post Holdings were sold to the public. |
Supervision and Regulation
Japan
Supervision.
The Banking Law
The Banking Law and various other financial regulation related laws have recently been amended, including certain deregulations on restrictions for shareholdings by banks. For example, although a bank is generally
49
prohibited from holding more than 5% of the outstanding shares of another company (other than certain financial businesses) under the Banking Law, an amendment to the Banking Law which took effect in April 2017 allows banks and bank holding companies to acquire and hold more than 5% of the voting rights in certain financial technology companies if approved by the FSA. An additional amendment to the Banking Law which took effect in June 2018 introduced a framework for affiliation and cooperation between financial institutions and financial technology companies while adding measures designed to ensure customer protection . A further amendment to the Banking Law which took effect in May 2020 allows banks to engage in certain information provision services relating to customer and other information.
Bank holding company regulations.
technology company as permitted by the April 1, 2017 amendments to the Banking Law. Certain companies that are designated by a ministerial ordinance as those that cultivate new business fields may also become the subsidiaries of a bank holding company.
In addition, under the April 1, 2017 amendments to the Banking Law, a bank holding company (i) is required to perform certain specified functions as a bank holding company to ensure effective management of its subsidiaries and (ii) is allowed to engage in certain specified common operations of its subsidiaries so as to improve the efficiency of the operations of its group companies.
Capital adequacy.
Basel II, as adopted by the FSA, has been applied to Japanese banks since March 31, 2007. Basel III, as adopted by the FSA, has been applied to Japanese banking institutions with international operations conducted through their foreign offices since March 31, 2013. Basel III is built on “three pillars”: (1) minimum capital requirements, (2) the self-regulation of financial institutions based on supervisory review process, and (3) market discipline through the disclosure of information.
The Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision reached an agreement on the new global regulatory framework, which has been referred to as “Basel III,” in July and September 2010. In December 2010, the Basel Committee agreed on the details of the Basel III rules. The agreement on Basel III includes the following: (1) raising the quality of capital to ensure banks are able to better absorb losses both on a going concern basis and on a gone concern basis, (2) increasing the risk coverage of the capital framework, in particular for trading activities, securitizations, exposures to
off-balance
sheet vehicles and counterparty credit exposures arising from derivatives, (3) raising the level of minimum capital requirements, including an increase in the minimum common equity requirement from 2% to 4.5%, which was phased in between January 1, 2013 and the end of the calendar year 2014, and a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, which was phased in between January 1, 2016 and the end of the calendar year 2018, bringing the total common equity requirement to 7%, (4) introducing an internationally harmonized leverage ratio to serve as a backstop to the risk-based capital measure and to contain thebuild-up
of excessive leverage in the system, (5) raising standards for the supervisory review process (Pillar 2) and public disclosures (Pillar 3), together with additional guidance in the areas of valuation practices, stress testing, liquidity risk management, corporate governance and compensation, (6) introducing minimum global liquidity standards consisting of both a short term liquidity coverage ratio and a longer term structural net stable funding ratio, and (7) promoting thebuild-up
of capital buffers that can be drawn down in periods of stress, including both a capital conservation buffer and a countercyclical buffer to protect the banking sector from periods of excess credit growth.50
Under Basel III, Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios are used to assess capital adequacy, which ratios are determined by dividing applicable capital components by risk-weighted assets. Total capital is defined as the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
Under Basel III, Tier 1 capital is defined to include Common Equity Tier 1 and Additional Tier 1 capital. Common Equity Tier 1 capital is a new category of capital primarily consisting of:
• | common stock, |
• | capital surplus, |
• | retained earnings, and |
• | accumulated other comprehensive income. |
Regulatory adjustments including certain intangible fixed assets, such as goodwill, and defined benefit pension fund net assets (prepaid pension costs) will be deducted from Common Equity Tier 1 capital.
Additional Tier 1 capital generally consists of Basel III compliant preferred securities and, during the transition period, other capital that meets Tier I requirements under the former Basel II standards, net of regulatory adjustments.
Tier 2 capital generally consists of:
• | Basel III compliant subordinated obligations, |
• | during the transition period, capital that meets Tier II requirements under the former Basel II standards, |
• | allowances for credit losses, and |
• | non-controlling interests in subsidiaries’ Tier 2 capital instruments. |
In order to qualify as Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital under Basel III, applicable instruments such as preferred shares and subordinated debt must have a clause in their terms and conditions that requires them to be
written-off
or forced to be converted into common stock upon the occurrence of certain trigger events.Risk-weighted assets are the sum of risk-weighted assets compiled for credit risk purposes, quotient of dividing the amount equivalent to market risk by 8%, and quotient of dividing the amount equivalent to operational risk by 8%, and also include any amount to be added due to transitional measures as well as floor adjustments, if necessary. Risk-weighted assets include the capital charge of the credit valuation adjustment, or CVA, the credit risk related to asset value correlation multiplier for large financial institutions, the 250% risk-weighted threshold items not deducted from Common Equity Tier 1 capital, and certain Basel II capital deductions that were converted to risk-weighted assets under Basel III, such as securitizations and significant investments in commercial entities. Certain Basel III provisions were adopted by the FSA with transitional measures and became effective March 31, 2013.
The capital ratio standards applicable to us are as follows:
• | a minimum total capital ratio of 8.0%, |
• | a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, and |
• | a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%. |
These minimum capital ratios are applicable to MUFG on a consolidated basis and to MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking on a consolidated as well as stand-alone basis.

We have been granted an approval by the FSA to exclude the majority of our investment in Morgan Stanley from being subject to double gearing adjustments. The approval was granted for a
10-year
period, but the approval amount will be phased out by 20% each year starting from March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, a full application of double gearing adjustments with respect to our investment in Morgan Stanley would have reduced our Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio by approximately 0.7 percentage points.The Financial Stability Board identified us as a global systematically important bank, or
G-SIB,
in its most recent annual report published in November 2019, and is expected to update the list ofG-SIB
annually. In December 2015, the FSA also designated us as aG-SIB
as well as a domestic systemically important bank generally referred to as a“D-SIB.”
Effective March 31, 2016, the FSA’s capital conservation buffer, countercyclical buffer and
G-SIB
surcharge requirements became applicable to Japanese banking institutions with international operations conducted through foreign offices, including us. The requirements as of March 31, 2020 consist of a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, aG-SIB
surcharge of 1.5% and a countercyclical buffer of 0.01% in addition to the 4.50% minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio.In December 2017, the Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision released final Basel III reforms. The reforms are designed, among other things, to help reduce excessive variability in risk-weighted assets among banks and improve the comparability and transparency of banks’ risk-based capital ratios. The reforms endorsed by the Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision include the following elements:
• | a revised standardized approach for credit risk, which is designed to improve the robustness and risk sensitivity of the existing approach; |
• | revisions to the internal ratings-based approach for credit risk, where the use of the most advanced internally modelled approaches for low-default portfolios will be limited; |
• | revisions to CVA framework, including the removal of the internally modelled approach and the introduction of a revised standardized approach; |
• | a revised standardized approach for operational risk, which will replace the existing standardized approaches and the advanced measurement approaches; |
• | revisions to the measurement of the leverage ratio and a leverage ratio buffer for G-SIBs, which will take the form of a Tier 1 capital buffer set at 50% of aG-SIB’s risk-weighted capital buffer; and |
• | an aggregate output floor, which is designed to ensure that banks’ risk-weighted assets generated by internal models are no lower than 72.5% of risk-weighted assets as calculated by the Basel III framework’s standardized approaches. Banks will also be required to disclose their risk-weighted assets based on these standardized approaches. |
Most of the reforms was scheduled to become effective on January 1, 2022, subject to implementation through legislation and regulation in each of the relevant jurisdictions, including Japan. In March 2020, the implementation date was deferred by one year to January 1, 2023 in light of the
COVID-19
pandemic.In January 2019, the Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision approved the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s finalized market risk capital framework. The approved market risk framework was scheduled to become effective on January 1, 2022, subject to implementation through legislation and regulation in each of the relevant jurisdictions, including Japan. In March 2020, the implementation date was deferred by one year to January 1, 2023 in light of the
COVID-19
pandemic.For a discussion on our capital ratios, see “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Adequacy.”

Leverage ratio
build-up
of excessive leverage in the banking sector and is expressed as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total balance sheet assets adjusted in accordance with the FSA guidance. In December 2017, the Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision announced final Basel III reforms. The announced reforms include the revisions to the measurement of the leverage ratio and a 3.00% minimum leverage ratio requirement, plus aG-SIB
leverage ratio buffer equal to 50% of the applicableG-SIB
capital surcharge. The announcement sets forth implementation dates of January 1, 2018 for the minimum leverage ratio requirement and January 1, 2022 for theG-SIB
leverage ratio buffer requirement. In Japan, the FSA adopted the minimum leverage ratio requirement effective March 31, 2019, and the minimum leverage ratio requirement as of March 31, 2020 is 3.00%. In March 2020, the implementation date for theG-SIB
leverage ratio buffer requirement was deferred by one year to January 1, 2023 in light of theCOVID-19
pandemic. On June 30, 2020, in coordination with the Bank of Japan in implementing its monetary policy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FSA published amendments to the leverage ratio regulations, effective June 30, 2020. Under the amendments, deposits with the Bank of Japan are excluded from the calculation of the leverage ratio during the period from June 30, 2020 to March 31, 2021.Total loss-absorbing capacity
G-SIBs,
including us. The Financial Stability Board’s TLAC standard is designed to ensure that if aG-SIB
fails, it has sufficient loss-absorbing and recapitalization capacity available in resolution to implement an orderly resolution that minimizes impacts on financial stability, ensures the continuity of critical functions, and avoids exposing public funds to loss. The Financial Stability Board’s TLAC standard defines a minimum requirement for the instruments and liabilities that should be readily available to absorb losses in resolution.The TLAC standard which was set forth in the regulatory notices and related materials for the implementation of the TLAC requirements in Japan published by the FSA in March 2019 and which became applicable to
G-SIBs
in Japan on March 31, 2019, or the Japanese TLAC Standard, and the Financial Stability Board’s TLAC standard require entities designated as Domestic Resolution Entities for Covered SIBs to meet certain minimum external total loss-absorbing capacity, or External TLAC, requirements and to cause any of their material subsidiaries in Japan deemed systemically important by the FSA or their foreign subsidiaries subject to TLAC or similar requirements in the relevant jurisdictions to maintain certain minimum level of capital and debt having internal total loss-absorbing and recapitalization capacity, or Internal TLAC.In the Japanese TLAC Standard, the FSA has designated the relevant ultimate holding companies in Japan as Domestic Resolution Entities for the Covered SIBs and, in our case, MUFG as the Domestic Resolution Entity for our Group, making MUFG subject to the External TLAC requirements in Japan. The FSA has also designated MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking and Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities as MUFG’s material subsidiaries in Japan, which are subject to the Internal TLAC requirements applicable to MUFG.
External TLAC debt generally consists of Basel III compliant regulatory capital, including, during the transition period, capital that meets the applicable regulatory capital requirements under the former Basel II standards, and the Japanese TLAC Standard compliant obligations, net of regulatory adjustments. Internal TLAC debt generally consists of Basel III compliant regulatory capital, including, during the transition period, capital that meets the applicable regulatory capital requirements under the former Basel II standards, and the Japanese TLAC Standard compliant subordinated obligations, net of regulatory adjustments. The Japanese TLAC Standard does not require that, in order for unsecured senior debt issued by the Domestic Resolution Entity of a Japanesewith, or junior to, its unsecured senior
G-SIB
to qualify as External TLAC debt, such debt be subject to any contractual write-down,write-off
or conversion provisions or to any subordination provisions so long as its creditors are recognized as structurally subordinated to the creditors of its subsidiaries and affiliates by the FSA on the ground that the amount of excluded liabilities of such Domestic Resolution Entity rankingpari passu
53
liabilities does not, in principle, exceed 5% of the aggregate amount of its External TLAC. In contrast, Internal TLAC debt incurred by a material subsidiary of a Japanese
G-SIB
is required to be subject to contractual loss absorption provisions and to be subordinated to such subsidiary’s excluded liabilities.The Financial Stability Board’s TLAC standard requires a
G-SIB
to issue and maintain TLAC in an amount not less than 16% of its risk-weighted assets and 6% of the applicable Basel III leverage ratio denominator by January 1, 2019, and not less than 18% of its risk-weighted assets and 6.75% of the applicable Basel III leverage ratio denominator by January 1, 2022.The Japanese TLAC Standard requires a Japanese
G-SIB,
including us, to issue and maintain TLAC debt in an amount not less than 16% of its risk-weighted assets and 6% of the applicable Basel III leverage ratio denominator on and after March 31, 2019, and not less than 18% of its risk-weighted assets and 6.75% of the applicable Basel III leverage ratio denominator on and after March 31, 2022. Under the FSA TLAC Standard, JapaneseG-SIBs
are or will be allowed to count the Japanese Deposit Insurance Fund Reserves in an amount equivalent to 2.5% of their consolidated risk-weighted assets from 2019 and 3.5% of their consolidated risk-weighted assets from 2022 as external TLAC.On June 30, 2020, in coordination with the Bank of Japan in implementing its monetary policy in response to the
COVID-19
pandemic, the FSA published amendments to the Japanese TLAC Standard, together with amendments to the leverage ratio regulations, effective June 30, 2020. Under the amendments, deposits with the Bank of Japan are excluded from the calculation of External TLAC ratio and Internal TLAC amounts on a total exposure basis as well as the leverage ratio during the period from June 30, 2020 to March 31, 2021.The Domestic Resolution Entity may also be subject to a capital distribution constraints plan if the capital buffers are used and reduced below the required level to make up for its required External TLAC on a risk-weighted assets basis.
See “Item 3.D Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Ability to Meet Regulatory Capital Requirements—We may not be able to maintain our capital ratios and other regulatory ratios above minimum required levels, which could result in various regulatory actions, including the suspension of some or all of our operations.”

Deposit insurance system and government measures for troubled financial institutions
City banks, including MUFG Bank, regional banks, trust banks, including Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, and various other credit institutions participate in the deposit insurance system on a compulsory basis.
Under the Deposit Insurance Act, the maximum amount of protection is ¥10 million per customer within one bank. The ¥10 million maximum applies to all deposits except for
non-interest
bearing deposits, which arenon-interest
bearing deposits redeemable on demand and maintained by depositors primarily in settlement accounts for payment and settlement purposes. Deposits in settlement accounts are fully protected without a maximum amount limitation. Certain types of deposits are not covered by the deposit insurance system, such as foreign currency deposits and negotiable certificates of deposit. As of April 1, 2020, the Deposit Insurance Corporation charged an insurance premium equal to 0.045% per year on the deposits in the settlement accounts, and a premium equal to 0.031% per year on the deposits in other accounts.Under the Deposit Insurance Act, a Financial Reorganization Administrator can be appointed by the Prime Minister if a bank’s liabilities exceed its obligations or has suspended, or is likely to suspend, repayment of deposits. The Financial Reorganization Administrator will take control of the assets of the troubled bank, dispose of the assets and search for another institution willing to take over the troubled bank’s business. The troubled bank’s business may also be transferred to a “bridge bank” established by the Deposit Insurance Corporation to enable the troubled bank’s operations to be maintained and continue temporarily, and the bridge bank will seek to transfer the troubled bank’s assets to another financial institution or dissolve the troubled bank. The Deposit Insurance Corporation protects deposits, as described above, either by providing financial aid for costs incurred by the financial institution succeeding the insolvent bank or by paying insurance money directly to depositors. The financial aid provided by the Deposit Insurance Corporation may take the form of a monetary grant, loan or deposit of funds, purchase of assets, guarantee or assumption of debt, subscription for preferred stock, or loss sharing.
The Deposit Insurance Act also provides for exceptional measures to cope with systemic risk in the financial industry. Where the Prime Minister recognizes that the failure of a bank which falls into any of (i) through (iii) below may cause an extremely grave problem to the maintenance of the financial order in Japan or the region where such bank is operating, or systemic risk, if none of the measures described in (i) through (iii) below is implemented, the Prime Minister may, following deliberation by the Financial Crisis Response Council, confirm () the need to take any of the following measures: (i) if the bank does not fall into either of the categories described in (ii) or (iii) below, the Deposit Insurance Corporation may subscribe for shares or subordinated bonds of, or extend subordinated loans to the bank, or subscribe for shares of the bank holding company of the bank, in order to enhance the bank’s regulatory capital (“Item 1 measures” ()); (ii) if the bank has suspended, or is likely to suspend, repayment of deposits, or its liabilities exceed its assets, financial aid exceeding the)); and (iii) if the bank has suspended, or is likely suspend, repayment of deposits, and its liabilities exceed its assets, and the systemic risk cannot be avoided by the measures mentioned in (ii) above, the Deposit Insurance Corporation may acquire all of the bank’s shares (“Item 3 measures” ()). The expenses for the implementation of the above measures will be borne by the banking industry, with an exception under which the Japanese government may provide partial subsidies for such expenses.

Under the new orderly resolution regime established by amendments to the Deposit Insurance Act that were promulgated in June 2013 and became effective on March 6, 2014, financial institutions, including banks, insurance companies and securities companies and their holding companies, are subject to the regime. Further, where the Prime Minister recognizes that the failure of a financial institution which falls into either of (a) or (b) below may cause a significant disruption to the Japanese financial market or system in Japan if measures described in (a) or measures described in (b) are not taken, the Prime Minister may, following deliberation by the
55
Financial Response Crisis Council, confirm () that any of the following measures need to be applied to the financial institution:
nintei
(a) | if the financial institution is not a financial institution whose liabilities exceed its assets, the financial institution shall be placed under the special supervision by the Deposit Insurance Corporation over the financial institution’s business operations and management and the disposal of the financial institution’s assets, and the Deposit Insurance Corporation may provide the financial institution with loans or guarantees necessary to avoid the risk of significant disruption to the financial system in Japan, or subscribe for shares or subordinated bonds of, or extend subordinated loans to, the financial institution, taking into consideration the financial condition of the financial institution (“Specified Item 1 measures” ( tokutei dai ichigo sochi 126-2, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the Deposit Insurance Act); or |
(b) | if the financial institution is a financial institution whose liabilities exceed, or are likely to exceed, its assets or which has suspended, or is likely to suspend, payments on its obligations, the financial institution shall be placed under the special supervision by the Deposit Insurance Corporation over the financial institution’s business operations and management and the disposal of the financial institution’s assets, and the Deposit Insurance Corporation may provide financial aid necessary to assist a merger, business transfer, corporate split or other reorganization in respect of such failed financial institution (“Specified Item 2 measures” ( tokutei dai nigo sochi 126-2, Paragraph 1, Item 2 of the Deposit Insurance Act). |
If the Prime Minister confirms that any of the measures set out in (b) above needs to be applied to a failed financial institution, the Prime Minister may order that the failed financial institution’s business operations and management and the disposal of the failed financial institution’s assets be placed under the special control of the Deposit Insurance Corporation under Article
126-5
of the Deposit Insurance Act. The business or liabilities of the financial institution subject to the special supervision or the special control of the Deposit Insurance Corporation as set forth above may also be transferred to a “bridge financial institution” established by the Deposit Insurance Corporation to enable the financial institution’s operations to be maintained and continue temporarily, or the financial institution’s liabilities to be repaid, and the bridge financial institution will seek to transfer the financial institution’s business or liabilities to another financial institution or dissolve the financial institution. The financial aid provided by the Deposit Insurance Corporation to assist a merger, business transfer, corporate split or other reorganization in respect of the failed financial institution set out in (b) above may take the form of a monetary grant, loan or deposit of funds, purchase of assets, guarantee or assumption of debts, subscription for preferred stock or subordinated bonds, subordinated loan, or loss sharing. If the Deposit Insurance Corporation has provided such financial assistance, the Prime Minister may designate the movable assets and claims of the failed financial institution as not subject to attachment under Article126-16
of the Deposit Insurance Act, and such merger, business transfer, corporate split or other reorganization may be conducted outside of the court-administrated insolvency proceedings. If the financial institution subject to the special supervision or the special control by the Deposit Insurance Corporation as set forth above has liabilities that exceed, or are likely to exceed, its assets, or has suspended, or is likely to suspend, payments on its obligations, the financial institution may transfer all or a material portion of its business or all or a material portion of shares of its subsidiaries or implement corporate split or certain other corporate actions with court permission in lieu of any shareholder resolutions under Article126-13
of the Deposit Insurance Act. In addition, the Deposit Insurance Corporation must request other financial institution creditors of the failed financial institution to refrain from exercising their rights against the failed financial institution until measures necessary to avoid the risk of significant disruption to the financial system in Japan have been taken, if it is recognized that such exercise of their rights is likely to make the orderly resolution of the failed financial institution difficult.The expenses for implementation of the measures under this regime will be borne by the financial industry, with an exception under which the Japanese government may provide partial subsidies for such expenses within the limit to be specified in the government budget in cases where it is likely to cause extremely serious hindrance
56
to the maintenance of the credit system in Japan or significant turmoil in the Japanese financial market or system if such expenses are to be borne only by the financial industry.
According to the announcement made by the FSA in March 2014, (i) Additional Tier 1 instruments and Tier 2 instruments under Basel III issued by a bank must be written down or converted into common shares when the Prime Minister confirms () that Item 2 measures (), Item 3 measures (), or Specified Item 2 measures () need to be applied to the bank and (ii) Additional Tier 1 instruments and Tier 2 instruments under Basel III issued by a bank holding company must be written down or converted into common shares when the Prime Minister confirms () that Specified Item 2 measures () need to be applied to the bank holding company.

Further, in an explanatory paper outlining the FSA’s approach for the introduction of the TLAC framework in Japan published by the FSA in April 2016 and revisions to the paper published by the FSA in April 2018, collectively the FSA TLAC Approach, as well as in the Japanese TLAC Standard, the FSA expressed its view that single point of entry, or SPE, resolution, in which a single national resolution authority applies its resolution tools to the ultimate holding company in Japan of a financial group, would be the preferred strategy for resolution of Japanese), need to be applied to the financial institution for its orderly resolution. Any such confirmation by the Prime Minister also triggers the point of
G-SIBs
and a domestic systemically important bank, orD-SIBs,
deemed to be in particular need for a cross-border resolution arrangement and of particular systemic significance to the Japanese financial system if it fails (suchG-SIBs
andD-SIBs,
collectively, “Covered SIBs”). However, it is uncertain which measure is to be taken in a given case, including whether or not the SPE resolution strategy will actually be elected and implemented in a given case, and the actual measures to be taken will be determined on acase-by-case
basis considering the actual condition of the relevant JapaneseG-SIB
in distress. Under a possible model of resolution of a JapaneseG-SIB
based on the SPE resolution strategy as described in the Japanese TLAC Standard, if the FSA determines that a material subsidiary in Japan of a financial institution that is a JapaneseG-SIB
isnon-viable
due to material deterioration in its financial condition and issues an order concerning restoration of financial soundness, including recapitalization and restoration of liquidity of such material subsidiary, to the ultimate holding company in Japan designated by the FSA as Domestic Resolution Entity for the financial institution under Article52-33,
Paragraph 1 of the Banking Act of Japan (Act No. 59 of 1981), the material subsidiary’s Internal TLAC instruments will be written off or, if applicable, converted into equity in accordance with the applicable contractual loss absorption provisions of such Internal TLAC instruments. Following thewrite-off
or conversion of Internal TLAC instruments, if the Prime Minister recognizes that the financial institution’s liabilities exceed, or are likely to exceed, its assets, or that it has suspended, or is likely to suspend, payments on its obligations, as a result of the financial institution’s loans to, or other investment in, the material subsidiary becoming subject to loss absorption or otherwise, and further recognizes that the failure of such financial institution is likely to cause a significant disruption to the Japanese financial market or system, the Prime Minister may, following deliberation by the Financial Crisis Response Council, confirm that measures set forth in Article126-2,
Paragraph 1, Item 2 of the Deposit Insurance Act, generally referred to as Specified Item 2 Measures (tokutei dai nigo sochi
non-viability
clauses of Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruments issued by the financial institution, causing such instruments to be written off or, if applicable, converted into equity, as described above.Upon the application of Specified Item 2 Measures (), a financial institution will be placed under the special supervision by, or if the Prime Minister so orders, under the special control of, the Deposit Insurance Corporation. In an orderly resolution, the Deposit Insurance Corporation would control the operation and management of a financial institution’s business, assets and liabilities, including the potential transfer to a bridge financial institution established by the Deposit Insurance Corporation as its subsidiary, or such other financial institution as the Deposit Insurance Corporation may determine, of the financial institution’s systemically important assets and liabilities, which we expect in the case of MUFG would include the shares of our material subsidiaries based on the Japanese TLAC Standard. The Prime Minister may prohibit creditors of the financial institution from attaching any of our assets and claims which are to be transferred to a bridge financial institution or another financial institution pursuant to Article
tokutei dai nigo sochi
126-16
of the Deposit Insurance Act.57
Based on the Japanese TLAC Standard, it is currently expected that the External TLAC eligible senior notes issued by the financial institution will not be transferred to a bridge financial institution or other transferee in the orderly resolution process but will remain as such financial institution’s liabilities subject to court-administered insolvency proceedings. On the other hand, in an orderly resolution process, the shares of material subsidiaries of such financial institution may be transferred to a bridge financial institution or other transferee, and such financial institution would only be entitled to receive consideration representing the fair value of such shares, which could be significantly less than the book value of such shares. Following such business transfer, the recoverable value of such financial institution’s residual assets in court-administered insolvency proceedings may not be sufficient to fully satisfy any payment obligations that such financial institution may have under its liabilities, including the External TLAC eligible senior notes.
Recovery and resolution plan

and the plans must be regularly reviewed and updated. In Japan, under the Banking Law and the Comprehensive Guidelines for Supervision of Major Banks, etc., financial institutions identified asG-SIBs
must, as part of their crisis management, prepare and submit a recovery plan, including triggers for the recovery plan and an analysis of recovery options, to the FSA. The Comprehensive Guidelines also provide that resolution plans for such financial institutions are prepared by the FSA.

financial stress scenario, including sizable deposit outflows, inability to issue new bonds or access the interbank market, stoppage of the collateralized funding market, need for additional collateral in connection with derivative transactions, and significant outflows of cash under commitment lines to customers. Once a bank or bank holding company fails to meet the minimum LCR of 100%, it is required to immediately report such failure to the FSA. If the FSA deems the financial condition of the bank or bank holding company to be serious, the FSA may issue a business improvement order. A minimum LCR of 100% is currently required. In light of theCOVID-19
pandemic, the FSA issued a statement on March 17, 2020 that the FSA will tolerate LCR under 100% in the case of stressed conditions. In addition, in cases where LCR declines under 100%, the FSA has stated that they will respond in a flexible manner with respect to applicable reporting requirements established by the FSA.Net Stable Funding Ratio.
Inspection and reporting

monitoring. The FSA abolished the Financial Institutions Inspection Manual which had traditionally been understood to set forth the minimum standard for the operations of financial institutions in Japan in December 2019.Furthermore, the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission of Japan, or SESC, inspects banks in connection with their securities business as well as financial instruments business operators, such as securities firms. The Bank of Japan also conducts inspections of banks. The Bank of Japan Law provides that the Bank of Japan and financial institutions may agree as to the form of inspection to be conducted by the Bank of Japan.

Laws limiting shareholdings of banks
However, the Banking Law prohibits a bank holding company and its subsidiaries from holding, on an aggregated basis, more than 15% of the voting rights of companies other than those which can legally become subsidiaries of bank holding companies. There have recently been amendments to various financial regulation related laws, including the Banking Law, which includes certain deregulations on restrictions for shareholdings by banks, as described above.
In addition, a bank is prohibited from holding shares in other companies exceeding the aggregate of its Common Equity Tier 1 capital amount and Additional Tier 1 capital amount.

Article 33 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act generally prohibits banks from engaging in securities transactions. However, bank holding companies and banks may, through a domestic or overseas securities subsidiary, conduct all types of securities businesses, with appropriate approval from the FSA. Similarly, registered banks are permitted to provide securities intermediation services and engage in certain other similar types of securities related transactions, including retail sales of investment funds and government and municipal bonds.
Subsidiaries of bank holding companies engaging in the securities business are subject to the supervision of the FSA as financial instruments business operators. The Prime Minister has the authority to regulate the
securities industry and securities companies, which authority is delegated to the Commissioner of the FSA under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. In addition, the SESC, an external agency of the FSA, is independent from the FSA’s other bureaus and is vested with the authority to conduct
day-to-day
monitoring of the securities markets and to investigate irregular activities that hinder fair trading of securities, including inspections of securities companies as well as banks in connection with their securities business. Furthermore, the Commissioner of the FSA delegates certain authority to the Director General of the Local Finance Bureau to inspect local securities companies and their branches. A violation of applicable laws and ordinances may result in various administrative sanctions, including revocation of registration, suspension of business, administrative monetary penalty or an order to discharge any director or executive officer who has failed to comply with applicable laws and ordinances. Securities companies are also subject to the rules and regulations of the Japanese stock exchanges and the Japan Securities Dealers Association, a self-regulatory organization of securities companies.Act on Sales, etc. of Financial Instruments.

Anti-money laundering laws.
In February 2018, the FSA issued “Guidelines on Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing” to require financial institutions to further strengthen their management of anti-money laundering and terrorist financing functions and their risk-based approach used in such functions.
Further, recent amendments to the Enforcement Ordinance of the Act introduced requirements relating to online KYC processes in November 2018 and strengthened the requirements for KYC processes for customers residing in remote areas in April 2020.

In addition, under the Act on Provision, etc. of Trust Business by Financial Institutions, banks and other financial institutions, as permitted by the Prime Minister, are able to conduct trust business.

Government reforms to restrict maximum interest rates on consumer lending business.
60
effective June 18, 2010, reduced the maximum permissible interest rate from 29.2% per annum to 20% per annum. The regulatory reforms also included amendments to the Law Concerning Lending Business which, effective June 18, 2010, abolished the
so-called
“gray-zone interest.” Gray-zone interest refers to interest rates exceeding the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Act (between 15% per annum to 20% per annum depending on the amount of principal). Prior to June 18, 2010, gray-zone interests were permitted under certain conditions set forth in the Law Concerning Lending Business. As a result of the regulatory reforms, all interest rates are now subject to the lower limits imposed by the Interest Rate Restriction Act, compelling lending institutions, including our consumer finance subsidiaries and equity method investees, to lower the interest rates they charge borrowers. Furthermore, the new regulations, which became effective on June 18, 2010, require, among other things, consumer finance companies to limit their lending to a single customer to a maximum of one third of the customer’s annual income regardless of the customer’s repayment capability.In addition, as a result of decisions made by the Supreme Court of Japan prior to June 18, 2010, imposing stringent requirements for charging such gray-zone interest rates, consumer finance companies have been responding to borrowers’ claims for reimbursement of previously collected interest payments in excess of the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Act.

Co-operation
and Development.United States
As a result of our operations in the United States, we are subject to extensive U.S. federal and state supervision and regulation.
Overall supervision and regulation
• | prohibited further expansion of the types of activities in which bank holding companies, acting directly or through non-bank subsidiaries, may engage; |
• | authorized qualifying bank holding companies to opt to become “financial holding companies,” and thereby acquire the authority to engage in an expanded list of activities; and |
• | modified the role of the FRB by specifying new relationships between the FRB and the functional regulators of non-bank subsidiaries of both bank holding companies and financial holding companies. |
The BHCA generally prohibits each of a bank holding company and a foreign banking organization that maintains branches or agencies in the United States from, directly or indirectly, acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in
non-banking
activities in the United States unless the bank holding61
company or foreign banking organization has elected to become a financial holding company, as discussed above, or the FRB has determined, by order or regulation, that such activities are so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto and has granted its approval to the bank holding company or foreign banking organization for such an acquisition. The BHCA also requires a bank holding company or foreign banking organization that maintains branches or agencies in the United States to obtain the prior approval of an appropriate federal banking authority before acquiring, directly or indirectly, the ownership of more than 5% of the voting shares or control of any U.S. bank or bank holding company. In addition, under the BHCA, a U.S. bank or a U.S. branch or agency of a foreign bank is prohibited from engaging in various tying arrangements involving it or its affiliates in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of any property or provision of any services.
In October 2008, we, MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking and MUFG Americas Holdings initially attained financial holding company status. In August 2016, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking relinquished its financial holding company status. Financial holding company status is subject to periodic regulatory review. A financial holding company is authorized to engage in an expanded list of activities deemed to be financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity as well as certain specified
non-banking
activities deemed to be closely related to banking. In order to maintain the status as a financial holding company, a bank holding company must continue to meet certain standards established by the FRB. Those standards require that a financial holding company exceed the minimum standards applicable to bank holding companies that have not elected to become financial holding companies. These higher standards include meeting the “well capitalized” and “well managed” standards for financial holding companies as defined in the regulations of the FRB. Failure to meet these standards, due to inadequate capital management or shortcomings in operations, results in restrictions on the ability to engage in expanded activities as a financial holding company. In addition, a financial holding company must ensure that its U.S. banking subsidiaries meet certain minimum standards under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977.U.S. branches and agencies of subsidiary Japanese banks.
The IBA provides, among other things, that the FRB may examine U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks, and each branch and agency shall be subject to
on-site
examination by the appropriate federal or state bank supervisor as frequently as would a U.S. bank. The IBA also provides that if the FRB determines that a foreign bank is not subject to comprehensive supervision or regulation on a consolidated basis by the appropriate authorities in its home country, or if there is reasonable cause to believe that the foreign bank or its affiliate has committed a violation of law or engaged in an unsafe or unsound banking practice in the United States, the FRB may order the foreign bank to terminate activities conducted at a branch or agency in the United States.U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks must be licensed, and are also supervised and regulated, by a state or by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the OCC, the federal regulator of U.S. national banks. The OCC is an independent bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Effective November 7, 2017, all of the branches and agencies of MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking in the United States converted from state-licensed branches and agencies to federally-licensed branches and agencies supervised and regulated by the OCC.
When opening a federal branch or agency, a foreign bank must establish and maintain a deposit account with an FRB member bank of at least (1) the amount of capital that would be required of a national bank being organized at the same location or (2) five percent of the total liabilities of the federal branch or agency, including
62
acceptances but excluding (i) accrued expenses and (ii) amounts due and other liabilities to offices, branches, and subsidiaries of the foreign bank, whichever is greater. Federally-licensed branches and agencies must also submit written reports concerning their assets and liabilities and other matters, to the extent required by the OCC or the FRB, and are examined at periodic intervals by the OCC and the FRB.
U.S. banking subsidiaries.
MUFG Union Bank is a national bank subject to the supervision, examination and regulatory authority of the OCC pursuant to the National Bank Act.
In regulating national banks such as MUFG Union Bank, the OCC has the power to examine those banks; approve or deny applications for new charters, branches, capital, or other changes in corporate or banking structure; take supervisory actions against national banks that do not comply with laws and regulations or that otherwise engage in unsound practices; remove officers and directors, negotiate agreements to change banking practices, and issue cease and desist orders as well as civil money penalties; and issue rules and regulations, legal interpretations, and corporate decisions governing investments, lending, and other practices. The OCC’s staff of bank examiners conducts
on-site
reviews and provides sustained supervision of national banks. Examiners analyze loan and investment portfolios, funds management, capital, earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk for national banks. Examiners also review internal controls, internal and external audit, and compliance with law, and evaluate management’s ability to identify and control risk.In addition, the FDIC insures the deposits of MUFG Union Bank up to legally specified maximum amounts. In the event of a failure of an FDIC-insured bank, the FDIC is virtually certain to be appointed as receiver, and would resolve the failure under provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. In the liquidation or other resolution of a failed FDIC-insured depository institution, deposits in its U.S. offices and other claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation are afforded priority over other general unsecured claims, including deposits in offices outside the United States,
non-deposit
claims in all offices and claims of a parent company. Moreover, under longstanding FRB policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength for its banking subsidiaries and to commit resources to support such banks.Bank capital requirements and capital distributions
The availability of dividends from insured depository institutions in the United States is limited by various other statutes and regulations. The National Bank Act and other federal laws prohibit the payment of dividends by a national bank under various circumstances and limit the amount a national bank can pay without the prior
63
approval of the OCC. In addition, state-chartered banking institutions are subject to dividend limitations imposed by applicable federal and state laws.
Other regulated U.S. subsidiaries.
non-bank
subsidiaries that engage in securities-related activities in the United States are regulated by appropriate functional regulators, such as the SEC, any self-regulatory organizations of which they are members, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies. Thesenon-bank

Regulatory Reform Legislation.
so-called
Dodd-Frank Act, was signed into law on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act is complex and extensive in its coverage and contains a wide range of provisions that affect financial institutions operating in the United States, including our U.S. operations. Included among these provisions are sweeping reforms designed to reduce systemic risk presented by very large financial firms, promote enhanced supervision, regulation, and prudential standards for financial firms, establish comprehensive supervision of financial markets, impose new limitations on permissible financial institution activities and investments, expand regulation of the derivatives markets, protect consumers and investors from financial abuse, and provide the government with the tools needed to manage a financial crisis. Key provisions that impact our operations are summarized64
below. However, certain regulatory rules under the Dodd-Frank Act are not yet finalized, require further interpretive guidance by the relevant supervisory agencies, or do not yet require us to fully implement compliance procedures. Accordingly, while the legislation has an impact on our operations, including the imposition of significant compliance costs, we are unable to assess with certainty the full degree of impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on our operations at this time.
Among the components of the Dodd-Frank Act that have impacted or may impact our operations are the provisions relating to enhanced prudential standards, including capital, liquidity and structural requirements, the “Volcker Rule,” derivatives regulation, credit reporting, resolution plans, incentive-based compensation, the establishment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and debit interchange fees. Although certain of the regulatory rules regarding the foregoing components are still pending, as noted above, based on information currently available to us, other than the Volcker Rule and derivatives regulations as discussed below, the impact of these components is expected to be mainly limited to our U.S. operations and not to be material to us on a
consolidated basis. We intend to continue to monitor developments relating to the Dodd-Frank Act and the potential impact on our activities inside and outside of the United States.
With respect to the Dodd-Frank Act provisions related to enhanced prudential standards, in February 2014 the FRB issued final rules that established enhanced prudential standards for the U.S. operations of foreign banking organizations such as MUFG. These rules required us to organize by July 1, 2016 all of our U.S. bank and
non-bank
subsidiaries, with certain limited exceptions, under a U.S. IHC that is subject to U.S. capital requirements and enhanced prudential standards comparable to those applicable totop-tier
U.S. bank holding companies of the same size. Under these rules, we were required to change the structure of our U.S. operations, including the manner in which we oversee and manage those operations, and may be required to inject additional capital into our U.S. operations. We have designated MUFG Americas Holdings as our IHC.MUFG Americas Holdings is subject to various U.S. prudential requirements and has become subject to others with the designation of MUFG Americas Holdings as our IHC as of July 1, 2016. MUFG Americas Holdings was previously subject to risk-based and leverage capital requirements, liquidity requirements, and other enhanced prudential standards applicable to large U.S. bank holding companies. MUFG Americas Holdings was also subject to capital planning and stress testing requirements. MUFG Americas Holdings is now subject to the capital planning and stress testing requirements and certain enhanced prudential standards applicable to IHCs. On June 22, 2017, the FRB released the results of the 2017 Dodd-Frank Act stress tests. It found that, even in the severely adverse economic stress test scenario, MUFG Americas Holdings would maintain capital ratios well above the required minimum levels. On June 28, 2017, the FRB announced that it had no objections to the capital plan submitted by MUFG Americas Holdings as part of the 2017 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review, or CCAR. The FRB announced early in 2017 that MUFG Americas Holdings would not be subject to the qualitative portion of the CCAR.
The FRB has the authority to examine an IHC and any of its subsidiaries. U.S. leverage requirements applicable to the IHC took effect beginning in January 2018. MUFG Americas Holdings is subject to a requirement to maintain an LCR equal to at least 100% based on total projected net cash outflows over a
30-calendar
day period, effectively using net cash outflow assumptions equal to 70% of the outflow assumptions prescribed for internationally active banking organizations. Our combined U.S. operations, including MUFG Bank’s and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking’s branches, are also subject to certain requirements related to liquidity and risk management.On June 25, 2020, the FRB will release the results of the 2020 Dodd-Frank Act and Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) stress tests which will include results for MUFG Americas Holdings. The FRB announced early in 2017 that MUFG Americas Holdings would not be subject to the qualitative portion of the CCAR; further, beginning with CCAR 2019, the FRB limited its ability to object to firms’ capital plans on qualitative grounds to firms recently subject to CCAR that continue to exhibit material deficiencies in capital planning.
65
The Volcker Rule was issued in final form by the Federal Reserve originally in December 2013, and substantive portions were subsequently amended in November 2019. Under the Volcker Rule, we are required to cease conducting certain proprietary trading activities, which means trading in securities and financial instruments for our own account, subject to certain exceptions, including market-making, hedging, and underwriting activities if such activities are conducted within a rigorous compliance framework. We are also restricted from engaging in certain activities regarding hedge funds and private equity funds, or covered funds. While the Volcker Rule excludes restrictions on such activities conducted solely outside of the United States, the regulatory definition of such exempted activities is narrow and complex and in some cases requires further clarification. Our proprietary trading and covered funds activities are generally executed outside of the United States, but certain activities within the United States are within the scope of the Rule, and, therefore, we have undertaken steps that we believe are appropriate to bring our activities and investments into compliance with the Rule. Although we are continuing to consider the effect of the recent changes and implement corresponding changes to our compliance program, given the limited amount of restricted activities in which we engage within the United States, we do not expect any final changes to the Volcker Rule to have a material negative impact on our operations.
U.S. regulators continue to issue final regulations and regulatory determinations governing swaps and derivatives markets as contemplated by the Dodd-Frank Act. To date, MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities International, plc, have registered as swap dealers with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC. Depending on the finalization of regulations and regulatory determinations governing
swaps and derivatives markets under the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as the activities of our other subsidiaries located inside and outside of the United States, our other subsidiaries may have to register as swap dealers with, or be subject to the regulations of, the CFTC and/or SEC. Regulation of swap dealers by the CFTC and SEC imposes numerous corporate governance, business conduct, capital, margin, reporting, clearing, execution, and other regulatory requirements on our operations, which may adversely impact our derivatives businesses and make us less competitive than those competitors that are not subject to the same regulations. Although many regulations applicable to swap dealers are already in effect, it is difficult to assess the full impact of these requirements because some of the most important regulatory determinations have not yet been implemented or finalized. For example, U.S. regulators have previously adopted guidance and rules on the application of U.S. regulations to activities of registered swap dealers outside of the United States. The extraterritorial application of swap dealer regulatory requirements imposes significant operational and compliance burdens on our swaps activities outside of the United States. On December 18, 2019, the CFTC proposed rules that would modify and codify the cross-border application of certain of its Title VII swap rules to both U.S. and non-U.S. registered swap dealers. Similarly, in December 2019, the SEC adopted a package of rule amendments, guidance, and a related order designed to expand and clarify the framework for regulating cross-border security-based swaps, including single-name credit default swaps. We are continuing to consider the effects of these proposed and final regulatory changes.
On June 14, 2018, the FRB approved a final rule regarding single counterparty credit limits, or SCCL, for large banking organizations. The SCCL final rule is considered the last major piece of regulatory action needed to implement Section 165(e) of the Dodd-Frank Act. Section 165(e) was a response to the concern that failure or financial distress of one large, interconnected financial institution could cascade through the U.S. financial system and impair the financial condition of that firm’s counterparties, including other large, interconnected firms. Section 165(e) generally, and the SCCL final rule specifically, seek to mitigate this risk by limiting the aggregate exposure among such financial institutions and their counterparties.
The final rule establishes separate SCCLs, one applicable to the combined U.S. operations, or CUSO, of MUFG and another to MUAH, as MUFG’s U.S. intermediate holding company, or IHC. Originally, MUFG CUSO was required to comply with its SCCL beginning on January 1, 2020, while IHC compliance was scheduled to begin on July 1, 2020, unless that time is extended by the FRB in writing. The SCCL final rule allows FBOs to satisfy its CUSO-level requirements by certifying as to home-country compliance with Basel Committee standards in lieu of complying with the final U.S. SCCL rule. Earlier this year, the FRB extended by
66
18 months the initial compliance dates of its SCCL rule as it applies to the CUSO of FBOs, in order to provide additional time for foreign jurisdictions’ implementation of the Basel standard to become effective. The compliance date is now July 1, 2021 for MUFG.
Separately, based on the preliminary categorization of MUAH as a Category IV entity under the final rules tailoring prudential standards for large banking organization (“Tailoring Final Rules”), SCCL will no longer apply to MUAH. The following paragraphs discuss the Tailoring Final Rules in greater detail.
On October 10, 2019, the FRB issued two final rules that (1) tailor the framework for application of enhanced prudential standards to U.S. and foreign banking organizations and (2) modify the application of capital and liquidity requirements to the operations of U.S. banking organizations and the U.S. operations of foreign banking organizations. The final rules apply the same framework as to the U.S. and foreign BHCs but use a differing calibration for foreign BHCs. The final rules became effective on December 31, 2019.
The final rule, promulgated solely by the FRB, determined the applicability of certain enhanced prudential standards requirements, including liquidity stress testing and management, capital planning and stress testing, risk management, single counterparty credit limits requirements, and related regulatory reporting by categorizing all foreign banking organizations with $100 billion or more in combined U.S. assets into three categories. The second final rule was issued jointly by the FRB, the OCC, and the FDIC, and similarly categorized foreign banking organizations and tailored the application of the agencies’ regulatory capital and standardized liquidity requirements on that basis. Under the framework of the final rules, MUFG’s U.S. operations are subject to a split category treatment: (i) the combined U.S. operations are classified as Category II, subject to the most stringent requirements other than those applicable to U.S. G-SIBs; and (ii) MUAH, the U.S. BHC and IHC is classified as Category IV, a classification that provides certain capital and liquidity relief from prior requirements, taking into account the size and other risk characteristics of MUFG’s U.S. subsidiary operations.
On October 10, 2019, the FRB jointly issued with the FDIC final rule amendments revising their joint resolution planning requirements of Section 165(d) of the Dodd-Frank Act. Resolution plans, also known as living wills, describe a firm’s strategy for orderly resolution under bankruptcy in the event of material financial distress or failure of the firm. The final rule tailors the rule’s requirements for firms that do not pose the same systemic risk as the largest institutions, requiring resolution plans to be submitted on a three-year cycle. MUFG is classified as a triennial full filer as applicable to large foreign and domestic banks classified within Category II and III, and MUFG is subject to alternating between submitting full and targeted resolution plans every three years. On May 6, 2020, the agencies, in recognition of immediate challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, extended the next submission date by 90 days, to September 29, 2021, for the next required targeted resolution plan submission.
On January 30, 2020 the Federal Reserve adopted a final rule revising the “controlling influence” prong of its “control” rules under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The final rule largely adopts the proposed rule issued by the FRB in April 2019, reaffirms the Federal Reserve’s conceptual framework for analyzing “controlling influence,” and rejects a number of banking industry recommendations for liberalization of the “control” rules. The issue of “control” is a central concept under the Bank Holding Company Act. Among other things, control determines whether an investor in a banking organization is subject to the requirements and restrictions of the Bank Holding Company Act, whether a bank holding company’s investment in a company is permissible and/or subjects the investee company to the requirements and restrictions of the Bank Holding Company Act, and whether an investor in any depository organization is subject to the Volcker Rule. As a result, a determination of whether or not an investment constitutes “control” is often determinative of whether an investment can be made (or, at least, must be restructured to avoid control). Originally effective on April 1, 2020, the FRB on March 31, 2020 announced that it would delay the effective date of the final rule to September 30, 2020.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.

FATCA. The U.S. Treasury, acting through the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, issued final FATCA regulations in January 2013. FATCA created a new reporting and withholding regime for U.S. and foreign financial institutions, or FFIs, and certain
non-financial
foreign entities, or NFFEs.In addition, the FATCA framework has been expanded with the introduction of Intergovernmental Agreements between the U.S. Treasury and foreign governments, which pursue a framework for
intergovernmental cooperation to facilitate the implementation of FATCA. The United States has entered into various Intergovernmental Agreements with
non-U.S.
jurisdictions including Japan. FATCA and the Intergovernmental Agreements became effective from July 1, 2014.In connection with FATCA, we have assessed and determined if our group entities are U.S. withholding agents, FFIs, or NFFEs. Each identified U.S. withholding agent and FFI has also evaluated
pre-existing
and new entity accounts to the extent required to determine their respective FATCA classifications. We have continuously developed internal procedures and processes that we believe address the regulatory requirements under FATCA.However, FATCA compliance has required us to develop extensive systems capabilities and internal processes to identify and report U.S. account holders who are subject to FATCA requirements, which has been a complex and costly process requiring significant internal resources. If our procedures and processes are determined not to be adequate to meet the requirements of FATCA, we could potentially be subject to serious legal and reputational consequences, including the imposition of withholding taxes on certain amounts payable to us from U.S. sources, and could be required to expend additional resources to enhance our systems, procedures and processes and take other measures in response to such consequences.
Capital Adequacy
off-balance
sheet exposures, higher minimum capital and leverage ratios and capital conservation buffers that will be added to the minimum capital requirements. These rules supersede the U.S. federal banking agencies’ general risk-based capital rules generally referred to as Basel I, the advanced approaches rules generally referred to as Basel II, which are applicable to certain large banking organizations, and leverage rules, and are subject to certain transition provisions. MUFG Americas Holdings became subject to the U.S. Basel III capital rules in January 2015, with certain provisions subject to aphase-in
period, while MUFG Union Bank continues to be subject to the U.S. Basel III capital rules which became effective for advanced approaches institutions on January 1, 2014. The U.S. Basel III capital rules were substantially phased in by January 1, 2019.Both MUFG Americas Holdings and MUFG Union Bank are subject to the following regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios: (1) 4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, (2) 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio and (3) 8.0% total capital ratio. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on MUFG Americas Holdings’ consolidated financial statements.
In addition to these regulatory minimum ratio requirements, MUFG Americas Holdings and MUFG Union Bank are subject to a fully
phased-in
capital conservation buffer requirement of 2.5%. MUFG Americas Holdings and MUFG Union Bank are also subject to a Tier 1 leverage ratio regulatory minimum requirement of 4% and a well-capitalized prompt corrective action standard of 5%.In October 2015, the FRB proposed long-term debt and TLAC requirements for U.S. globally systemically important bank holding companies and U.S. IHCs of
non-U.S.
globally systemically important banks, including MUFG Americas Holdings. In December 2016, the FRB finalized rules imposing such requirements. Under the final rules, a covered IHC such as MUFG Americas Holdings is required to maintain a minimum amount of68
eligible long-term debt issued to a
non-U.S.
parent entity that could be cancelled or converted to equity in order to absorb losses and recapitalize the IHC’s operating subsidiaries at or near the point of resolution. A covered IHC is also required to maintain a minimum level of eligible TLAC issued to anon-U.S.
parent entity consisting of regulatory capital and eligible long-term debt and maintain related buffers consisting of Common Equity Tier 1 capital. In addition, an IHC is restricted from issuing short-term debt and certain other types of liabilities that are structurally senior to eligible long-term debt. MUFG Americas Holdings became subject to these rules onJanuary 1, 2019. Pursuant to 12 CFR § 252.164(a), we have certified to the FRB that we plan to follow an SPE resolution strategy, and that MUFG Americas Holdings would therefore be considered a
“non-resolution
covered IHC.”For more information, see “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Adequacy” and Note 21 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

subsidiary, MUFG Bank, engaged in certain limited business activities with entities in, or affiliated with, Iran, including counterparties owned or controlled by the Iranian government. Specifically, ournon-U.S.
banking subsidiary, MUFG Bank, issued letters of credit and guarantees and provided remittance and other settlement services mainly in connection with customer transactions related to the purchase and exportation of Iranian crude oil to Japan prior to the expiration of the Significant Reduction Exception granted to Japan, and in some cases, in connection with other petroleum-related transactions with Iran by its customers that were exempt from applicable Iran-related sanctions or otherwise permitted by OFAC. These transactions did not involve U.S. dollars or clearing services of U.S. banks for the settlement of payments. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the aggregate fee income relating to these transactions was less than ¥50 million, representing less than 0.001 percent of our total fee income. In addition, some Iranian financial institutions and other entities in, or affiliated with, Iran maintainednon-U.S.
dollar correspondent accounts and other similar settlement accounts with MUFG Bank outside the United States. In addition to such accounts, MUFG Bank received deposits in Japan from, and provided settlement services in Japan to, fewer than 10 Iranian government-related entities and fewer than 100 Iranian government-related individuals such as Iranian diplomats, and maintains settlement accounts outside the United States for certain other financial institutions specified in Executive Order 13382, which settlement accounts were frozen in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the average aggregate balance of deposits held in these accounts represented less than 0.1 percent of the average balance of our total deposits. The fee income from the transactions attributable to these account holders was less than ¥5 million, representing less than 0.001 percent of our total fee income.MUFG Bank recognizes that following the withdrawal in May 2018 by the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the United States has imposed secondary sanctions against
non-U.S.
persons who engage in or facilitate a broad range of transactions and activities involving Iran. MUFG Bank has taken the recent sanctions related developments into account and will continue to monitor transactions relating to Iran in order to comply with applicable U.S. and Japanese regulations as well as U.S., Japanese and other international sanctions.69

Business Environment
Through our subsidiaries and affiliated companies, we engage in a broad range of financial businesses and services, including commercial banking, investment banking, trust assets and asset management services, securities businesses and credit card businesses, and provide related services to individuals primarily in Japan, the United States, Thailand and Indonesia and to corporate customers around the world. Our results of operations and financial condition are exposed to changes in various external economic factors, including:
• | general economic conditions, |
• | interest rates, |
• | foreign currency exchange rates, and |
• | stock and real estate prices. |
Recent Developments and Prospects
Our results of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 were adversely affected by the
COVID-19
pandemic. Among the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic described elsewhere in this Annual Report, we provided for additional allowance for credit losses in light of the deteriorating credit quality of our borrowers.The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a further adverse impact on our business and results of operations as economic and corporate activity deteriorates in Japan and around the world and financial markets remain volatile. More specifically, we currently expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will have a further adverse impact on, among other things,
��� | net interest income, particularly foreign currency net interest income, primarily due to interest rate reductions by central banks or declines in long-term interest rates in various markets, |
• | fees and commissions income mainly due to decreases in the value of assets under custody or management, declines in customer investments or other transactions, or changes in consumer spending trends, as any of these negative factors may be exacerbated by, among other things, weakened appetite for investments or other transaction under uncertain or volatile market conditions or governmental restrictions on business activities, |
• | net investment securities gains (losses) primarily due to losses on sales of securities or a decline in the value of our securities portfolio, |
• | net equity in earnings of equity method affiliates if the financial performance of our equity method affiliates deteriorates, |
• | other income and expenses, including impairment losses on goodwill or other intangible assets, due to weaker business prospects and other factors causing deterioration in the business environment, and |
• | regulatory capital ratios due to, among other factors, an increase in risk-weighted assets such as loans and a decrease in the value of our equity securities portfolio. |
In addition, there is a risk that we will have to recognize credit losses if there is a further deterioration in the credit quality of our borrowers such as those in the air transportation and other industries that may be adversely impacted by weakened demand for, or governmental or other restrictions on, travel, retail operations, or other economic or recreational activities. For more information, see “—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Loan Portfolio.”
At present, the timing of containment of COVID-19 cannot be forecasted, and the full extent of the impact of the pandemic on the real economy remains uncertain. Under these highly uncertain circumstances, our current expectations may be significantly different from actual results. We intend to continue to closely monitor, and endeavor to effectively deal with, further developments relating to the pandemic. For more information, see “Item 3.D. Risk Factors.” See also “Forward-Looking Statements.”

General Economic Conditions
The global economy was generally on a downward trend due to negative effects of the U.S.-China trade conflict and other factors in the first half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, with some signs of bottoming out and recovering at least in some industry sectors, including the semiconductor and other manufacturing sectors, around the beginning of the second half of the fiscal year. However, in and after the fourth quarter, the outbreak and global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic brought much of global economic activity to a halt. Public health measures of unprecedented scale have been implemented in various countries and regions in an effort to contain the pandemic. However, the full extent and severity of the impact of the pandemic on the global economy are yet to be known.
Japan’s economic growth continued at a moderate pace during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, while showing a mixture of positive and negative trends, with the
quarter-on-quarter
real gross domestic product, or GDP, growth rate being 0.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, 0.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and negative 1.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, and negative 0.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The year-over-year real GDP growth rate was 0.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, 1.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, negative 0.7% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and negative 1.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Japan’s Consumer Price Index, or CPI, fluctuated between negative 0.2% and positive 0.3% on amonth-on-month
basis and between positive 0.2% and 0.9% on a year-over-year basis during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. During the same period, the unemployment rate in Japan remained low, fluctuating between 2.1% and 2.6%. According to Teikoku Databank, a Japanese research institution, the number of companies that filed for legal bankruptcy in Japan during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was 8,480, a 5.3% increase from the previous fiscal year. The total liabilities of companies that filed for legal bankruptcy during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 were ¥1,218 billion, a 21% decrease from the previous fiscal year. The Japanese economy remains subject to the impact of theCOVID-19
pandemic, continuing deflationary pressure, increasing public debt, intensifying trade conflicts and global competition, declining domestic population, stagnant private consumption, and various other factors that could adversely affect economic conditions in Japan.The U.S. economy expanded during the three quarters ended December 31, 2019, with the
quarter-on-quarter
annualized real GDP growth rate being 2.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, 2.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and 2.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, but turning to negative 5.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The year-over-year real GDP growth rate was 2.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, 2.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, 2.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and 0.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The U.S. economic growth was supported by the improvement in the labor market, higher wages and increased corporate production activities through the end of the quarter ended December 31, 2019, but the U.S. economy declined in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 due to the impact ofCOVID-19
pandemic. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the unemployment rate in the U.S. fluctuated between 3.8% and 4.4%. However, the long-term prospects of the U.S. economy remains uncertain in light of the economic impact of theCOVID-19
pandemic, changes in the government’s economic, monetary, trade and foreign relations policies, the November 2020 presidential election, and various other factors.The Eurozone’s economic growth continued at a slow rate during the three quarters ended December 31, 2019, with the
quarter-on-quarter
real GDP growth rate being 0.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, 0.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and 0.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, but turning to negative 3.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The year-over-year real GDP growth rate was 1.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, 1.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, 1.0% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and negative 3.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the unemployment rate in the Eurozone declined to 7.1% for March 2020. There are still uncertainties in the Eurozone economy, including the impact of theCOVID-19
pandemic, the process and ramifications of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union and the large accumulation ofnon-performing
loans in some European peripheral countries.75
In Asia excluding Japan, economic conditions in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and NIEs (Newly Industrializing Economies) generally improved but the economic growth remained relatively modest during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. In China, economic conditions continued to improve at a moderate pace until the quarter ended December 31, 2019 but declined in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 due to the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic. China’squarter-on-quarter
real GDP growth rate was 1.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, 1.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, 1.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and negative 9.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. China’s year-over-year real GDP growth rate was 6.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, 6.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, 6.0% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and negative 6.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Thai economy was on a gradually stabilizing trend until the quarter ended December 31, 2019 but declined in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 due to the impact of theCOVID-19
pandemic. Thailand’squarter-on-quarter
real GDP growth rate was 0.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, 0.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, negative 0.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and negative 2.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Thailand’s year-over-year real GDP growth rate was 2.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, 2.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, 1.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and negative 1.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Although there are some signs of further economic growth in ASEAN and NIEs, such as growth in exports to developed countries and larger investments in infrastructure projects in the region, uncertainties still remain in light of, among other things, the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, including importing developed countries, intensifying trade conflicts and potential geopolitical issues.Interest Rates
Interest rates remained at historical low levels in Japan under the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy. The yield on
10-year
Japanese government bonds fluctuated between negative 0.286% and negative 0.009% during the six months ended September 30, 2019, but subsequently rose to around 0% towards December 31, 2019, declined again to negative 0.153% in February 2020, and rose back to around 0% towards March 31, 2020. The Bank of Japan adopted its “quantitative and qualitative monetary easing” policy in April 2014 and commenced its “quantitative and qualitative monetary easing with negative interest rates” policy in January 2016. Under this policy, aiming to achieve the price stability target of 2.0%, the Bank of Japan applied a negative interest rate of minus 0.1% to the “Policy-Rate Balances,” which are a part of current account amounts held by financial institutions at the Bank of Japan, while increasing the Bank of Japan’s aggregate holding of Japanese government bonds by approximately ¥80 trillion each year. In September 2016, the Bank of Japan announced a new “quantitative and qualitative monetary easing with yield curve control” policy, adding to its monetary policy a Japanese government bond purchase program with an aim to keep the yield of10-year
Japanese government bonds around zero percent. In July 2018, the Bank of Japan slightly modified its monetary policy by adopting forward guidance on interest rates and adding language in its policy statement that long-term interest rates may fluctuate depending on economic and price developments. In October 2019, the Bank of Japan decided to maintain its monetary policy, while slightly modifying its forward guidance to clarify that it expects short- and long-term interest rates to remain at their present or lower levels without specifying the duration of its guidance. In March 2020, the Bank of Japan introduced a package of COVID-19 emergency measures, including those designed to facilitate corporate financing through lending up to ¥8.0 trillion yen against corporate debt collateral at a 0% interest rate with maturities up to one year and increasing the limit of purchases on commercial paper and corporate bonds to ¥2.0 trillion yen, and has since expanded its emergency measures, including elimination of the limit on purchases of Japanese government bonds. The yield on10-year
Japanese government bonds was negative 0.081% on March 29, 2019 and positive 0.022% on March 31, 2020. The yield currently fluctuates around negative 0.006%.In the United States, the FRB reduced the target range for the federal funds rate to between 2.00% and 2.25% in July 2019, to between 1.75% and 2.00% in September 2019, and further to between 1.50% and 1.75% in December 2019. Subsequently, the FRB reduced the target range for the federal funds rate twice in March 2020 to between 1.00% and 1.25% and further to 0.00% and 0.25%. Following the Federal Open Market
76
Committee meeting in June 2020, most of the FRB members indicated their willingness to maintain the rate at the current level until the end of the calendar year 2022 in light of increasing uncertainty in the economic outlook. The
10-year
U.S. Treasury bond yield decreased from 2.406% at the end of March 2019 to 0.670% at the end of March 2020, while fluctuating between 0.543% and 2.595% during the period. The yield currently fluctuates around 0.717%.The yield on
10-year
German Bunds decreased from negative 0.070% at the end of March 2019 to negative 0.471% as of March 31, 2020, while fluctuating between negative 0.856% and positive 0.080% during the period. The yield currently fluctuates around negative 0.439%. The yield on10-year
French Obligations Assimilables du Trésor decreased from 0.318% at the end of March 2019 to negative 0.015% as of March 31, 2020, while fluctuating between negative 0.438% and positive 0.424% during the period. The yield currently fluctuates around negative 0.118%.Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
The Japanese yen appreciated against the U.S. dollar from ¥110.86 to the U.S. dollar as of March 29, 2019 to ¥107.54 to the U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2020, while fluctuating between ¥102.36 to the U.S. dollar and ¥112.19 to the U.S. dollar during the period. The Japanese yen has since been fluctuating around ¥106.95 to the U.S. dollar.

Net trading account profits (losses)
Trading account assets and liabilities are carried at fair value and changes in the value of trading account assets and liabilities are recorded in net trading account profits (losses). Activities reported in our net trading account profits (losses) can generally be classified into two categories:
• | trading purpose activities, which are conducted mainly for the purpose of generating profits either through transaction fees or arbitrage gains and involve frequent and short-term selling and buying of securities, commodities or others; and |
• | trading account assets relating to the application of certain accounting rules, which are generally not related to trading purpose activities, but simply classified as trading accounts due to the application of certain accounting rules. |
Of the two categories, trading account assets relating to the application of certain accounting rules represent a larger portion of our trading account profits for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
We generally do not separate, for financial reporting purposes, customer originated trading activities from
non-customer
related, proprietary trading activities. When an order for a financial product is placed by a customer, a dealer offers a price which includes certain transaction fees, often referred to as the “margin” to the market price. The margin is determined by considering factors such as administrative costs, transaction amount and liquidity of the applicable financial product. Once the customer agrees to the offered price, the deal is completed and the position is recorded in our ledger as a single entry without any separation of components. To manage the risk relating to the customer side position, we often enter into an offsetting transaction with the market. Unrealized gains and losses as of theperiod-end
for both the customer side position and the market side position are recorded within the same trading account profits and losses.Net trading account profits (losses) consist of net profits (losses) on interest rate and other derivative contracts and net profits (losses) on trading account securities, excluding derivatives.
Net profits (losses) on interest rate and other derivative contracts are reported for net profits (losses) on derivative instruments which primarily relate to trading purpose activities and include:
• | Interest rate contracts |
• | Equity contracts |
79
• | Commodity contracts |
• | Credit derivatives |
Derivative instruments for trading purposes also include those used as hedges of net exposures rather than for specifically identified assets or liabilities, which do not meet the specific criteria for hedge accounting.
Net profits (losses) on trading account securities, excluding derivatives, consist of:
• | Net profits (losses) on trading account securities |
• | Net profits (losses) on trading account securities under the fair value option |
Net investment securities gains (losses)
Net investment securities gains (losses) include net gains (losses) on sales of
available-for-sale
debt securities and net gains (losses) from marketable equity securities. Impairment losses onavailable-for-sale
debt securities are recognized when management concludes that declines in the fair value of such debt securities are other than temporary, and offset net gains on sales ofavailable-for-sale
debt securities. Net gains (losses) from marketable equity securities include net gains (losses) on sales of marketable equity securities. In addition, as a result of our adoption of new guidance on recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities on April 1, 2018, unrealized gains (losses), or holding gains (losses), on equity investments are reflected in net gains (losses) from marketable equity securities. This new guidance is not applied retrospectively to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018. Prior to adoption, such unrealized gains and losses were reflected in other comprehensive income. For more information, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.Net equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees
Net equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees includes our equity interest in the earnings of our equity method investees and impairment losses on our investments in equity method investees.

Recent Developments
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we continued to pursue a strategy to improve our operational efficiency and financial performance and achieve sustainable growth. We sought to strengthen our management structure, while selectively reviewing and considering growth opportunities that would enhance our global competitiveness. We also continued to monitor regulatory developments and pursue prudent transactions that would create a strong capital structure to enable us to contribute to the real economy, both domestically and globally, as a provider of a stable source of funds and high-quality financial services. In addition, in order to respond to the increasingly complex market and legal risks, we continued to endeavor to enhance our compliance and internal control frameworks. Under our current medium-term business plan, for the three fiscal years ending March 31, 2022, we aim to integrate the expertise and capabilities of our subsidiaries to build a foundation for future growth.
The
COVID-19
pandemic has impacted, and is expected to further impact, our business and financial performance as economic and corporate activity deteriorates and the financial market remains volatile. At present, the timing of containment ofCOVID-19
cannot be forecasted, and the impact of the pandemic on the real economy remains uncertain. We will continue to closely monitor and seek to flexibly and effectively deal with developments relating to the pandemic. However, our efforts to deal with the impact of the pandemic may prove insufficient, in which case our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and negatively affected.

Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Japan.”Strategic Investment in Bank Danamon in Indonesia
In December 2017, MUFG Bank acquired an initial 19.9% equity interest in PT Bank Danamon Indonesia, Tbk, or Bank Danamon, for an aggregate purchase price of IDR 15.875 trillion, or ¥133.4 billion, based on a price of IDR 8,323, or ¥70, per share. In August 2018, MUFG Bank acquired an additional 20.1% equity interest for an aggregate purchase price of IDR 17.187 trillion, or ¥132.3 billion, based on a price of IDR 8,921, or ¥69, per share. As a result, MUFG Bank’s equity interest in Bank Danamon increased to 40%, and MUFG Bank started to apply the equity method of accounting to its investment in Bank Danamon during the six months ended September 30, 2018.
In April 2019, MUFG Bank further increased its shareholding in Bank Danamon from 40.0% to 94.0% by acquiring additional shares for an aggregate purchase price of IDR 49,620 billion, or ¥397.0 billion, based on a price of IDR 9,590, or ¥77, per share. In addition, in April 2019, MUFG Bank increased its shareholding in PT Bank Nusantara Parahyangan Tbk., or Bank BNP, in Indonesia from 7.9% to 99.9% by acquiring shares from ACOM Co., Ltd., our equity method affiliate, and other shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of IDR 3,011 billion, or ¥24.1 billion, based on a price of IDR 4,088, or ¥33, per share. As a result, Bank Danamon and Bank BNP became our consolidated subsidiaries. In May 2019, Bank BNP was merged into Bank Danamon through a share exchange transaction, resulting in our shareholding in Bank Danamon being 94.1%.
As of the acquisition date, total assets acquired amounted to ¥1,728.5 billion, including loans of ¥1,086.6 billion and intangible assets of ¥146.9 billion, and total liabilities assumed amounted to ¥1,242.1 billion, including deposits of ¥915.1 billion. We also recorded goodwill of ¥254.3 billion in connection with our acquisition of Bank Danamon. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we recognized an impairment loss on the goodwill as further discussed in “Results of
Operations—Non-interest
Expenses—Impairment of goodwill” below and Notes 2 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.Our investment in Bank Danamon is part of our strategic plan to expand our presence in Asia and Oceania and contribute to the economic growth in the region. The investment is expected to enable us to leverage our financial strength, relationships with Japan’s leading companies, and global network as well as our product and sectorial expertise to further enhance our growth strategy. In our capacity as a long-term shareholder, we aim to build on Bank Danamon’s established and respected brand franchise to foster synergies and enhance Bank Danamon’s position as a leading and prominent Indonesian bank that remains committed to delivering high quality services to its customers.

co-develop
innovative financial products and services based on our combined customer insight to better cater to the financial needs of Grab’s users, driver-partners and merchant-partners as well as our customers.Critical Accounting Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain accounting policies require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments regarding the valuation of assets and liabilities. The accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our operating and financial review and prospects. The notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report provide a summary of our significant accounting policies. The following is a summary of the critical accounting estimates:
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses represents management’s best estimate of probable losses in our loan portfolio. The evaluation process, including credit-ratings and self-assessments, involves a number of estimates and judgments. The allowance is based on two principles of accounting guidance: (1) the guidance on contingencies requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and can be estimated, and (2) the guidance on accounting by creditors for impairment of a loan requires that losses be accrued based on the difference between the loan balance, on the one hand, and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, the fair value of collateral or the loan’s observable market value, on the other hand. We divide our loan portfolio into the following segments—Commercial, Residential, Card, MUFG Americas Holdings, Krungsri, and Other—based on the segments used to determine the allowance for credit losses.
At March 31, 2020, we had ¥86,622.8 billion of loans in the Commercial segment and recorded an allowance for credit losses against these loans of ¥482.3 billion. We divide the Commercial segment into classes based on initial measurement attributes, risk characteristics, and our approach to monitoring and assessing credit risk. We determine the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses for the Commercial segment by evaluating various factors and assumptions, such as the borrower’s internal credit rating and historical loss experience as well as adjustments to reflect existing economic conditions. We update these factors and assumptions on a regular basis and upon the occurrence of unexpected changes in the economic environment. Of the various factors and assumptions, the determination of the allowance for credit losses for the Commercial segment requires management to make significant judgements, due to the subjectivity and uncertainty associated with the determination of borrowers’ internal credit ratings which are highly dependent on the estimation of the borrowers’ performance and business sustainability in case the borrowers experience financial problems. Key elements relating to the policies and discipline used in determining the allowance for credit losses for the Commercial segment are our credit classification and the related borrower categorization process. Each of these components is determined based on estimates subject to change when actual events occur. The categorization is based on conditions that may affect the ability of borrowers to service their debt, taking into consideration current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, analyses of relevant industry segments and current trends. In determining the appropriate level of allowance, we evaluate the probable loss by category of the loan based on its type and characteristics.
In addition, we recognized a qualitative reserve for loan losses, specific to the Commercial segment, as a result of the estimated impact that the
COVID-19
had on borrowers’ credit risk which has been incurred but did not appear on the individual borrower’s financials. The estimate included assumptions regarding which borrowers (certain industries and regions) have suffered significant impacts on their performance as a result of theCOVID-19.
Assumptions about the severity and duration of theCOVID-19
were also used to estimate the impact of theCOVID-19
on the borrowers.85
Determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses requires the exercise of considerable judgment and the use of estimates, such as those discussed above. Our actual losses could be more or less than the estimates. To the extent that actual losses differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions for credit losses may be required that would adversely impact our operating results and financial condition in future periods. For further information regarding our methodologies used in establishing the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segments and allowance for credit losses policies, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report and “—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Loan Portfolio.” For more information on our credit and borrower ratings, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk—Credit Risk Management.”
On April 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update
2016-13,
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with the current expected credit loss model that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. For more information on this guidance, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.Allowance for Repayment of Excess Interest
We maintain an allowance for repayment of excess interest based on our estimate of the potential liability exposure. Our estimate of the potential liability exposure represents the estimated amount of claims for repayment of excess interest to be received in the future. We expect that any such claim will be made on the basis of a 2006 ruling of the Japanese Supreme Court, or the Ruling. Under the Ruling, lenders are generally required to reimburse borrowers for interest payments made in excess of the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Act upon receiving claims for reimbursement, despite the then-effective provisions of the Law Concerning Lending Business that exempted a lender from this requirement if the lender provided required notices to the borrower and met other specified requirements, and the borrower voluntarily made the interest payment.
While we have not entered into any consumer loan agreement after April 2007 that imposes an interest rate exceeding the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Act, we need to estimate the number of possible claims for reimbursement of excess interest payments. To determine the allowance for repayment of excess interest, we analyze the historical number of repayment claims we have received, the amount of such claims, borrowers’ profiles, the actual amount of reimbursements we have made, management’s future forecasts, and other events that are expected to possibly affect the repayment claim trends in order to arrive at our best estimate of the potential liability. We believe that the provision for repayment of excess interest is adequate and the allowance is at the appropriate amount to absorb probable losses, so that the impact of future claims for reimbursement of excess interest will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. The allowance is recorded as a liability in Other liabilities.
For further information, see Note 26 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report and “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Operational Risk—Because of our loans to consumers and our shareholdings in companies engaged in consumer lending, changes in the business or regulatory environment for consumer finance companies in Japan may further adversely affect our financial results.”
Business Developments
As part of our global strategies, we have executed multiple large-scale acquisitions, investments and capital alliances. We completed the acquisition of PT Bank Danamon Indonesia, Tbk. (“Danamon”) on April 29, 2019 and the acquisition of nine subsidiaries of Colonial First State Group Limited, which collectively, including their subsidiaries represent the global asset management business of Colonial First State Global Asset Management, on August 2, 2019, which were renamed First Sentier Investors (“FSI”) after the acquisition. We accounted for
86
these acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including Danamon’s relationships with agents of ¥79.6 billion and core deposit intangibles of ¥44.1 billion and FSI’s customer relationships of ¥100.9 billion, respectively. Management estimated the fair values of these intangible assets using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a specific discounted cash flow method.
The estimation of the fair values of these intangible assets requires management to make significant judgements related to significant assumptions. For the Danamon’s relationships with agents, the significant assumptions included the growth rate of loan origination amounts reflecting market growth forecast, the attrition rate of the existing agents based on historical actual results, and the discount rate in which the risk that the future cash flow differ from the estimate is taken into consideration. The fair value of Danamon’s intangible assets of relationships with agents was determined, discounting expected cash flows based on excess earnings through the period for which relationships with existing agents was expected to continue. These cash flows were calculated using the growth rate of loan origination amounts reflecting forecast of motorcycle sales market in Indonesia and the attrition rate of existing agents based on historical actual results. The discount rate was determined based on cost of shareholders’ equity, considering risks of changes in relationship continuity, transaction size and profitability, relating to intangible assets, and risks involved in business scale. In addition, the fair value of Danamon’s core deposit intangibles was determined, discounting expected cash flows based on the effect of reduced funding cost through the period for which the deposit balance was expected to be kept. These cash flows were calculated using the assumptions, such as the attrition rate of depositors. For the FSI’s customer relationships, the significant assumptions included the growth rate of asset under management reflecting market growth forecast, the attrition rate of the existing customers based on historical actual results, and the discount rate in which the risk that the future cash flows differ from the estimate is taken into consideration. The fair value of FSI’s customer relationships was determined, discounting expected cash flows based on excess earnings through the period for which relationship with customers was expected to continue. These cash flows were calculated using the growth rate of assets under management reflecting expected market growth of investment objectives such as equity securities, debt securities, and infrastructures, and the attrition rate of existing customers based on historical actual results. The discount rate was determined based on cost of shareholders’ equity, considering business risks relating to intangible assets. Changes in these significant assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of these intangible assets.
Impairment on Goodwill
As part of our global strategies, we have executed multiple large-scale acquisitions, investments and capital alliances, and recorded goodwill resulting from these business combinations. U.S. GAAP requires us to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired, using a process that compares the carrying amount of a reporting unit with its fair value. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of a reporting exceeds its fair value, but not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment or component of an operating segment that constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by management. The fair value of a reporting unit is defined as the amount at which the unit as a whole could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties. Our consolidated goodwill balance was ¥517.6 billion at March 31, 2020, which was allocated to our reporting units. The measurement of the fair value of the Danamon reporting unit was primarily based on a market approach, and was also corroborated by multiple valuation techniques. We determined that the carrying value of Danamon exceeded the fair value as of the measurement date, resulting in the impairment loss on goodwill of ¥241.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. In addition, we determined the fair values of the MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (“MUAH”) reporting units within the Global Commercial Banking Business Group segment and Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group segment (“MUAH reporting units”) using a combination of the income and the market approaches. The income approach determined the fair value of the reporting units by discounting management’s projections of each reporting unit’s cash flows,
87
including a terminal value to estimate the fair value of cash flows beyond the final year of projected results, using a discount rate derived from the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The market approach incorporates comparable public company price to tangible book value and price to earnings multiples. The principal factors used in the discounted cash flow analysis requiring judgment are the projected future operating cash flows based on forecasted future income. We determined that the carrying values of MUAH reporting units exceeded the fair values as of the measurement date, resulting in the impairment loss on goodwill of ¥80.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
The determination of the fair value of these reporting units requires management to make significant judgments related to significant assumptions due to the subjectively and uncertainty associated with the assumptions. The significant assumptions included the market capitalization to estimate the fair value of the Danamon reporting units, and the control premium considered in relation to market capitalization, for Danamon reporting unit and projected future operating cash flows based on forecasted future income in the income approach, for MUAH reporting units.
Valuation of Financial Instruments
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The majority of such assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including trading securities, trading derivatives and investment securities. In addition, certain other assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a
non-recurring
basis, including held for sale loans which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, collateral dependent loans and nonmarketable equity securities subject to impairment.We have elected the fair value option for certain foreign securities classified as
available-for-sale
debt securities, whose unrealized gains and losses are reported in income, and marketable equity securities.The guidance on the measurement of fair value defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We have an established and documented process for determining fair value in accordance with the guidance. To determine the fair value, we use quoted prices which include those provided from pricing vendors, where available. We generally obtain one price or quote per instrument and do not adjust it to determine the fair value of the instrument. We perform internal price verification procedures to ensure that the prices and quotes provided from the independent pricing vendors are reasonable. Such verification procedures include a comparison of pricing sources and analysis of variances among pricing sources. These verification procedures are periodically performed by independent risk management departments. For collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, backed by general corporate loans, the fair value is determined by weighting the internal model valuation and the
non-binding
broker-dealer quotes. If quoted prices are not available to determine the fair value of derivatives, the fair value is based upon valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced parameters, such as interest rates, yield curves, foreign exchange rates, volatilities and credit curves. The fair values of trading liabilities are determined by discounting future cash flows at a rate which incorporates our own creditworthiness. In addition, valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that the financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality, funding cost, liquidity risk, and model risk. Our financial models are validated and periodically reviewed by risk management departments independent of divisions that created the models.For a further discussion of the valuation techniques applied to the material assets or liabilities, see Note 31 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

The following table is a summary of our interest rate spread, including the average balances of, and interest and average interest rates on, our assets and liabilities, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2020. Average balances are generally based on a daily average while a
month-end
average is used for certain average balances when it is not practicable to obtain applicable daily averages.Fiscal years ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019
Net interest income decreased ¥52.6 billion to ¥2,242.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥2,295.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was due to higher foreign interest expense, mainly reflecting higher average interest rates on, and higher average balance of, foreign deposits. This decrease was also attributable to lower domestic interest income, mainly reflecting lower interest rates on domestic loans. These negative impacts on net interest income were partially offset by an increase in foreign interest income, primarily reflecting higher interest rates on foreign loans. See “—Business Environment—Recent Developments and Prospects.”
90
Interest income increased ¥113.7 billion to ¥3,927.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥3,813.4 billion for the previous fiscal year. Domestic interest income decreased ¥50.2 billion, mainly due to lower interest rates on domestic loans, reflecting the competitive downward pressure in the continued low interest rate environment in Japan. Foreign interest income increased ¥163.9 billion primarily due to higher interest rates on foreign loans and higher volumes of, and higher interest rates on, foreign money market transactions.
Interest expense increased ¥166.3 billion to ¥1,684.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥1,518.0 billion for the previous fiscal year. Domestic interest expense decreased ¥30.8 billion mainly due to lower interest rates on call money, funds purchased, and payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions, reflecting lower U.S dollar funding rates in Japan. Foreign interest expense increased ¥197.1 billion. The higher foreign interest expense was mainly due to higher interest rates on deposits and higher money market interest rates in the United States.
Our average interest rate spread (which is the average interest rate on interest-earning assets less the average interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities) decreased five basis point to 0.88% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from 0.93% for the previous fiscal year. Between the same periods, the average interest rate spread on domestic activities decreased one basis point to 0.42% from 0.43%, and the average interest rate spread on foreign activities decreased 17 basis points to 1.06% from 1.23%. The decrease in the average interest rate spread on domestic activities mainly reflected lower interest rates on loans, reflecting the competitive downward pressure in the continued low interest rate environment in Japan. The decrease in the average interest rate spread on foreign activities mainly reflected the declining gap between long-term interest rates and short-term interest rates.
The yield on
10-year
Japanese government bonds fluctuated between negative 0.286% and negative 0.009% during the six months ended September 30, 2019, but subsequently rose to around 0% towards December 31, 2019, declined again to negative 0.153% in February 2020, and rose back to around 0% towards March 31, 2020. During the previous fiscal year, the yield on such bonds fluctuated between negative 0.10% and positive 0.15%. In October 2019, the Bank of Japan decided to maintain its monetary policy, while slightly modifying its forward guidance to clarify that it expects short- and long-term interest rates to remain at their present or lower levels without specifying the duration of its guidance. As a result, long-term interest rates may fluctuate at lower levels or to greater degrees for an extended period, increasing uncertainty in the long-term interest rate market in Japan. In the United States, the FRB reduced the target range for the federal funds rate from between 2.25% and 2.50% to between 2.00% and 2.25% in July 2019, and to between 1.75% and 2.00% in September 2019, and further to between 1.50% and 1.75% in October 2019, and, in light of theCOVID-19
pandemic risks, further to between 0% to 0.25% in March 2020. See “—Business Environment.”The average balance of interest-earning assets increased ¥4,876.3 billion to ¥246,283.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥241,407.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The average balance of domestic interest-earning assets decreased ¥20.2 billion to ¥145,258.9 billion mainly due to a decrease in the average balance of our interest-earning deposits in other banks and loans, largely offset by increases in the average balance of our call loans, funds sold, and receivables under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions as well as trading account assets. The average balance of foreign interest-earning assets increased ¥4,896.5 billion primarily due to increases in call loans, funds sold, and receivables under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions and trading account assets.
The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased ¥4,218.4 billion to ¥238,861.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥234,643.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The average balance of domestic interest-bearing liabilities decreased ¥320.7 billion mainly due to a decrease in domestic deposits. The average balance of foreign interest-bearing liabilities increased ¥4,539.1 billion mainly due to an increase in foreign deposits and call money, funds purchased, and payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions.
91
Our net interest income for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 was not materially affected by gains or losses resulting from interest rate and other derivative contracts. We use such derivative instruments to manage the risks affecting the values of our financial assets and liabilities. Although these contracts are generally entered into for risk management purposes, a majority of them do not meet the specific conditions to qualify for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP and thus are accounted for as trading assets or liabilities. Any gains or losses resulting from such derivative instruments are recorded as part of Trading account profits—net. For a detailed discussion of our risk management activities, see “—A. Operating Results—Results of Operations—Non-Interest Income” and “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk.”
Provision for (reversal of) credit losses
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019
We recorded ¥321.7 billion of provision for credit losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, compared to ¥34.3 billion of provision for credit losses for the previous fiscal year. By segment, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, ¥153.8 billion, ¥26.5 billion, ¥30.9 billion, ¥70.0 billion and ¥41.5 billion of provision for credit losses were recorded in the Commercial, Card, MUFG Americas Holdings, Krungsri and Other segments, respectively, while ¥1.0 billion of reversal of credit losses was recorded in the Residential segment. For the previous fiscal year, ¥43.9 billion and ¥4.5 billion of reversal of credit losses were recorded in the Commercial and Residential segments, respectively, while ¥23.9 billion, ¥9.3 billion and ¥49.5 billion of provision for credit losses were recorded in the Card, MUFG Americas Holdings and Krungsri segments, respectively.
The provision for credit losses recorded in the Commercial segment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 mainly reflected, the financing provided to a domestic borrower in the services sector to facilitate the borrower’s restructuring efforts, and the deterioration in the business and financial performance of some large domestic borrowers in the manufacturing sector and some large foreign borrowers in the oil and gas sector and the electric power sector. The provision for credit losses for the Commercial segment also included ¥46.4 billion of qualitative reserves in light of the estimated impact that the
COVID-19
pandemic had on the credit risk of our borrowers. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.The larger provision for credit losses in the Card segment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 mainly reflected an increase in default borrowers who filed for bankruptcy as part of their debt workout efforts. The increase in provision for credit losses in the MUFG Americas Holdings segment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 reflected the deteriorated in the financial condition of large borrowers in the electric power sector and the real estate rental sector as well as the growth in the unsecured consumer loan portfolio. The larger provision for credit losses in the Krungsri segment mainly reflected the expansion of the retail and consumer loan portfolio, particularly automobile loans.
The reversal of credit losses in the Residential segment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 reflected our assessment that the credit quality of the portfolio remained substantially unchanged as the stable corporate environment in recent periods continued to have a positive impact on the financial condition of residential borrowers.
We recorded ¥90.4 billion of provision for credit losses for our domestic loan portfolio for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, compared to reversal of credit losses of ¥40.2 billion for the previous fiscal year. This reflected, the financing provided to the domestic borrower in the services sector to facilitate the borrower’s restructuring efforts, and the deteriorated business and financial condition of large domestic borrowers in the manufacturing sector in the Commercial segment. We recorded ¥231.3 billion of provision for credit losses for our foreign portfolio for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, compared to ¥74.5 billion of provision for credit losses for the previous fiscal year. The larger provision reflected, the deteriorated financial condition of some
92
large foreign borrowers that belong to the foreign oil and gas sector and the foreign electric power sector in the Commercial and MUFG Americas Holdings segments, the expansion of the retail and consumer loan portfolio in the Krungsri segment, and newly extended loans to automobile purchasers and small and medium-sized enterprises as well as unsecured consumer loans in Bank Danamon, which became our consolidated subsidiary in April 2019, in the Other segment.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019
Non-interest
income increased ¥280.6 billion to ¥1,875.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥1,595.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. This increase was mainly attributable to an increase in trading account profits, partially offset by net investment securities losses and net foreign exchange losses. See “—Business Environment—Recent Developments and Prospects.”Fees and commissions income
Fees and commissions income increased ¥63.5 billion to ¥1,502.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥1,438.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to an increase in fees and commissions on administration and management services for investment funds mainly due to higher fees from asset management services, reflecting the consolidation of First Sentier Investors as well as an increase in the volume of investment products held by domestic corporate investors. The increase was also attributable to an increase in other fees and commissions, reflecting the consolidation of Bank Danamon, as well as an increase in in fees and commissions on credit card business, reflecting an increase in payment processing fees and an increase in credit card issuance fees as credit card use grew in Japan. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in fees and commissions on securities-related services mainly due to lower volumes of selling and buying transactions by retail customers.
Net foreign exchange gains (losses)
The following table sets forth the details of our foreign exchange gains and losses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2020:

Net foreign exchange gains (losses) related to the fair value option | 186.6 | (596.0 | ) | |||||
Total | ¥ | (96.0 | ) | ¥ | (281.8 | ) | ||
Net foreign exchange losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 were ¥281.8 billion, compared to net losses of ¥96.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. This was mainly due to larger net foreign exchange losses on foreign currency-denominated trading account securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds, under the fair value option as the Japanese yen appreciated against the U.S. dollar from ¥110.99 to the U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2019 to ¥108.83 to the U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2020, while the Japanese yen depreciated against the U.S. dollar during the previous fiscal year resulting in net foreign exchange gains on U.S. dollar-denominated trading account securities under the fair value option. The larger total net foreign exchange losses also resulted from larger net foreign exchange losses on derivative contracts mainly due to the lower mark to market valuation on currency swaps entered into in connection with our U.S. dollar funding. These losses were largely offset by an increase in net foreign exchange gains on other than derivative contracts, reflecting the positive impact of fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates on the Japanese yen translated amounts of monetary liabilities of our commercial banking subsidiaries as the Japanese yen appreciated against other major currencies on a spot rate basis between March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020.

Net trading account profits were ¥765.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, compared to net profits of ¥168.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. This improvement was mainly due to an increase in net profits on trading account securities, excluding derivatives, resulting mainly from an increase in net profits on trading account securities under the fair value option, particularly U.S. Treasury bonds, as long-term interest rates declined in the United States during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. The yield on
10-year
U.S. Treasury bonds declined to around 0.6% as of March 31, 2020 from around 2.4% as of March 31, 2019.The improvement in net profits on trading account securities, excluding derivatives, was partially offset by larger net losses on interest rate and other derivative contracts, which primarily reflected ¥173.2 billion of net losses on interest rate contracts for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, compared to ¥5.6 billion of net profits on such contracts for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 mainly due to fluctuations in interest rates particularly in the United States towards March 31, 2020.
Net investment securities gains (losses)
Net investment securities losses were ¥532.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, compared to net losses of ¥252.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. This was mainly due to ¥646.0 billion of net losses from marketable equity securities, reflecting a decline in stock prices towards March 31, 2020 in Japan.
Net equity in earnings of equity method investees
Net equity in earnings of equity method investees for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was ¥282.7 billion, compared to ¥209.7 billion for the previous fiscal year, reflecting higher earnings of our equity method investees, including Morgan Stanley.

Non-interest
expense increased ¥378.1 billion to ¥3,363.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥2,985.5 billion for the previous fiscal year. Major factors affecting this increase are discussed below. See “—Business Environment—Recent Developments and Prospects.”Salaries and employee benefits
Salaries and employee benefits increased ¥67.2 billion to ¥1,242.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. The increase was due to an increase in overseas salaries and employee benefits, mainly reflecting the impact of the consolidation of Bank Danamon.
Impairment of intangible assets
Impairment of intangible assets decreased ¥114.4 billion to ¥3.7 billion. This was primarily attributable to ¥116.1 billion of impairment losses on system integration-related assets of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS recorded in the previous fiscal year, as we fundamentally revised our system integration plan, comprehensively taking into account the scale of, the complexity of, and the degree of difficulty in, developing the system and responding to rapid changes in payments market in an appropriate manner.
Impairment of goodwill
We recognized ¥383.8 billion of impairment loss on goodwill for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. Of this amount, the impairment loss recorded in connection with our investment in Bank Danamon was ¥241.4 billion. In light of Bank Danamon’s publicly traded stock price in comparison to the
per-share
purchase price for Bank Danamon and considering other factors, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test, as a result of which we concluded that the fair value of Bank Danamon as a reporting unit had fallen below its carrying amount. The measurement of the fair value of the reporting unit was primarily based on a market approach and was corroborated by multiple valuation techniques. The amount of the recognized impairment loss represented all of the goodwill recorded in connection with our acquisition of Bank Danamon. See Notes 2 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.96
We also recognized ¥80.3 billion of impairment loss relating to MUFG Americas Holdings for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. Due to the decline in interest rates and weaker business prospects than previously forecasted, our previous cash flow projections for certain reporting units relating to MUFG Americas Holdings were revised downward. As a result of our quantitative goodwill impairment test, we concluded that the fair values of these reporting units, measured on December 31, 2019, were below the carrying amounts of such reporting units. We measured the fair values of the reporting units using a combination of the income and market approaches.
We consolidate MUFG Americas Holdings based on financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31 as this date and our fiscal year which ended on March 31 have been treated as coterminous. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the effect of recording a goodwill impairment as an intervening event primarily due to the economic environment triggered by COVID-19 pandemic for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 would have been approximately ¥80 billion to ¥110 billion. This intervening event occurring during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, if recorded, would not have had a substantial and permanent effects on consolidated total assets, net income or total equity as of March 31, 2020, and therefore, the intervening event was not recognized for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. See Note 6 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
We recognized ¥62.2 billion of impairment loss relating to Krungsri for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. As Thailand’s economy slowed down, Krungsri’s stock price declined. As a result our quantitative goodwill impairment test, we concluded that the fair value of Krungsri as a reporting unit, measured on December 31, 2019, had fallen below its carrying amount. We measured the fair value of the reporting unit primarily based on the market approach as corroborated by multiple valuation techniques.
Provision for (reversal of) off-balance sheet credit instruments
We recognized ¥62.3 billion of reversal of off-balance sheet credit instruments for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, compared to ¥38.5 billion of provision for off-balance sheet credit instruments for the previous fiscal year, mainly due to reversal reported in our commercial banking subsidiaries.
We consolidate certain foreign subsidiaries based on financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31 as this date and our fiscal year which ended on March 31 have been treated as coterminous. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the effect of recording a provision for credit losses and a provision for
off-balance
sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and standby letters of credit as an intervening event primarily due to the economic environment triggered by COVID-19 pandemic for the three-month period ended March 31 2020 would have been approximately ¥84 billion and would have resulted in a decrease of ¥58 billion to net income attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. This intervening event occurring during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, if recorded, would not have had a substantial and permanent effects on consolidated total assets, net income or total equity as of March 31, 2020, and therefore, the intervening event was not recognized for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. See Note 4 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.On April 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with the current expected credit loss model that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. As a result, considering the COVID-19 pandemic and macroeconomic variables under the circumstances, our allowance for credit losses and our allowance for off-balance sheet credit instruments increased an aggregate of approximately ¥380 billion to ¥450 billion as of the opening balance sheet date. For more information on this guidance, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Income taxes applicable to us in Japan are imposed by the national, prefectural and municipal governments, and the aggregate of these taxes resulted in a combined normal effective statutory tax rate of 30.6% for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2020. Foreign subsidiaries are subject to income taxes of the jurisdictions in which they operate. These taxes are reflected in the effective income tax rate.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020
The effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was 26.4%, which was 4.2 percentage points lower than the combined normal effective statutory rate of 30.6%. This was primarily due to the sale of a wholly owned subsidiary, as a result of which we recognized tax benefits from temporary differences not previously recognized as part of deferred tax assets, decreasing our income tax expense by ¥85.6 billion and our effective income tax rate by 19.8 percentage points for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. Another factor contributing to the lower effective income tax rate was our receipt of nontaxable dividends, which resulted in a decrease of ¥67.6 billion in income tax expense and a decrease of 15.6 percentage points in the effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. Under Japanese tax law, a certain percentage of dividends received is considered nontaxable and excluded from gross revenue in computing taxable income. This creates a permanent difference between our taxable income for Japanese tax purposes and
98
our income before income tax expense reported under U.S. GAAP. These impact were partially offset by an increase of 26.1 percentage points in the effective income tax rate resulting from recognition of the goodwill impairment loss discussed above, which had the effect of decreasing our income before income tax expense under U.S. GAAP by ¥113.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, since such loss was not deductible in computing our taxable income under Japanese tax law.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019
The effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 was 15.3%, which was 15.3 percentage points lower than the combined normal effective statutory rate of 30.6%. This primarily reflected our receipt of nontaxable dividends, which resulted in a decrease of ¥79.6 billion in income tax expense and a decrease of 9.1 percentage points in the effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. Under Japanese tax law, a certain percentage of dividends received is considered nontaxable and excluded from gross revenue in computing taxable income. This creates a permanent difference between our taxable income for Japanese tax purposes and our income before income tax expense reported under U.S. GAAP. Another factor contributing to the lower effective income tax rate was foreign tax credit, which resulted in a decrease of ¥28.5 billion in income tax expense and a decrease of 3.3 percentage points in the effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019
We recorded ¥12.7 billion of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, compared to ¥19.0 billion of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the previous fiscal year. This mainly reflected decrease in net income of Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.
Business Segment Analysis
We measure the performance of each of our business segments primarily in terms of “operating profit.” Operating profit and other segment information in this Annual Report are based on the financial information prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP as adjusted in accordance with internal management accounting rules and practices. Accordingly, the format and information are not consistent with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For example, operating profit does not reflect items such as a component of the provision for (reversal of) credit losses (primarily equivalent to the formula allowance under U.S. GAAP), foreign exchange gains (losses) and investment securities gains (losses). For a reconciliation of operating profit under the internal management reporting system to income before income tax expense shown on the consolidated statements of income, see Note 29 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. We do not use information on the segments’ total assets to allocate our resources and assess performance. Accordingly, business segment information on total assets is not presented.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019
Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group
Net revenue of the Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group decreased ¥20.4 billion to ¥1,501.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥1,522.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group’s net revenue mainly consists of interest income from lending and deposit-taking operations and fees relating to credit card settlement, consumer financing, real estate and stock transfer services for Japanese domestic individual and small to
medium-sized
corporate customers. The decrease in net revenue was mainly due to a decrease in net interest income due to lower interest rate spreads on domestic loans due to competitive downward pressure on interest rates on such loans in the continued low interest rate environment in Japan. The decrease in net revenue was also attributable to a decrease in investment products sales reflecting weaker retail customer demand for investment products under unfavorable market conditions. These decreases were partially offset by higher payment processing fees from the credit card business and higher fees from the consumer finance business as credit card use and consumer lending grew in Japan.Operating expenses of the Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group decreased ¥18.3 billion to ¥1,203.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥1,221.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The decrease primarily resulted from our cost reduction measures, partially offset by higher expenses relating to the “Channel Strategy and Business Process
Re-engineering”
project pursuant to our current medium-term business plan and the system integration for our consumer finance business.As a result, operating profit of the Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group decreased ¥2.1 billion to ¥298.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥300.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Japanese Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group
Net revenue of the Japanese Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group increased ¥5.9 billion to ¥551.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥545.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The Japanese Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group’s net revenue mainly consists of interest income from lending and deposit-taking operations and fees relating to financing, investment banking, real estate and stock transfer services for large Japanese corporate customers. The increase in net revenue was mainly due to
102
higher net interest income from both Japanese
yen-denominated
loans and foreign currency-denominated loans to large Japanese corporate customers, reflecting higher interest rate spreads on such loans.Operating expenses of the Japanese Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group increased ¥6.5 billion to ¥315.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥309.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The increase mainly reflected higher expenses for financial regulatory compliance purposes in Europe and our investment to enhance the information system platform in the Asia and Oceania region.
As a result, operating profit of the Japanese Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group decreased ¥0.6 billion to ¥235.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥235.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group
Net revenue of the Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group decreased ¥7.0 billion to ¥376.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥383.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group’s net revenue mainly consists of interest income from lending and deposit-taking operations and fees and commissions from investment banking services and foreign exchange and derivatives transactions for large
non-Japanese
corporate and institutional customers outside Japan. The decrease in net revenue was mainly attributable to a decrease in the translated Japanese yen value of foreign currency-denominated revenues reflecting the negative impact of the appreciation of the Japanese yen against other major currencies on a spot rate basis between March 31, 2019 and 2020 as well as losses on sales of high yield bonds in our securities business. These negative impacts more than offset the positive impact of the closings of several large financing deals in the Americas and the Asia and Oceania region as well as higher net interest income from foreign loans reflecting higher interest rate spreads on such loans due in part to our efforts to reduce assets that were not generating sufficient profits.Operating expenses of the Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group increased ¥6.3 billion to ¥247.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥241.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to the
one-time
cost for our acquisition from DVB Bank SE in Germany of DVB Bank’s aviation finance lending portfolio.As a result, operating profit of the Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group decreased ¥13.3 billion to ¥129.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥142.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Global Commercial Banking Business Group
Net revenue of the Global Commercial Banking Business Group increased ¥114.1 billion to ¥804.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥690.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The Global Commercial Banking Business Group’s net revenue mainly consists of interest income from lending and deposit-taking operations and fees from remittances and transfers, consumer finance and wealth-related services for individual and small to
medium-sized
corporate customers of MUFG Union Bank, Krungsri and Bank Danamon. The increase in net revenue was mainly due to the consolidation of Bank Danamon and higher net interest income reflecting an increase in Krungsri’s loan portfolio. The increase in net revenue was partially offset by lower net interest income in MUFG Union Bank mainly reflecting declines in interest rates in the United States.Operating expenses of the Global Commercial Banking Business Group increased ¥88.3 billion to ¥571.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥483.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to the consolidation of Bank Danamon and an increase in expenses in Krungsri primarily reflecting larger volumes of business. The increase in operating expenses was also attributable to an increase in expenses for IT system development projects in the United States.
103
As a result, operating profit of the Global Commercial Banking Business Group increased ¥25.8 billion to ¥232.8billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥207.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group
Net revenue of the Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group increased ¥40.0 billion to ¥243.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥203.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group’s net revenue mainly consists of fees from asset management and administration services for products, such as pension trusts and mutual funds. The increase in net revenue was primarily attributable to higher fees from asset management services reflecting the consolidation of First Sentier Investors as well as an increase in investment products sales to domestic corporate investors. The increase in net revenue was also attributable to higher fees from investor services both in and outside Japan mainly because we expanded our offerings of bundled services, including fund financing, to global fund customers.
Operating expenses of the Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group increased ¥47.1 billion to ¥171.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥124.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to the
one-time
cost for our acquisition of First Sentier Investors as well as higher cost commensurate with business volume growth.As a result, operating profit of the Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group decreased ¥7.1 billion to ¥71.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥78.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Global Markets Business Group
Net revenue of the Global Markets Business Group increased ¥95.4 billion to ¥575.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥479.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. This was mainly due to higher net revenue from our overseas sales and trading business as we continued to work to improve our business model to better capture customer business opportunities abroad to increase volume as well as higher net revenue from our asset and liability management operations particularly reflecting our effort to deal with the declining interest rate environment. These increases in net revenue were partially offset by a decrease in net interest income reflecting tighter interest rate spreads between long-term and short-term interest rates in the United States.
Operating expenses of the Global Markets Business Group increased ¥8.7 billion to ¥232.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥223.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. This increase primarily reflected the amortization cost for IT system development projects and the cost for our business model improvement measures.
As a result, operating profit of the Global Markets Business Group increased ¥86.7 billion to ¥343.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥256.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2018
Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group
Net revenue of the Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group decreased ¥60.5 billion to ¥1,522.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥1,582.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group’s net revenue mainly consists of interest income from lending and deposit-taking operations and fees relating to credit card settlement, consumer
104
financing, real estate and stock transfer services for Japanese domestic individual and small to
medium-sized
corporate customers. The decrease in net revenue was mainly due to a decrease in investment products sales reflecting weaker retail customer demand for investment products under unfavorable market conditions. The decrease was partially offset by higher payment processing fees from the credit card business and higher fees from the consumer finance business as credit card use and consumer lending grew in Japan.Operating expenses of the Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group decreased ¥5.0 billion to ¥1,221.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥1,226.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The decrease primarily resulted from our cost reduction measures, partially offset by higher expenses relating to the “Channel Strategy and Business Process
Re-engineering”
project pursuant to our current medium-term business plan and the system integration for our consumer finance business.As a result, operating profit of the Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group decreased ¥55.5 billion to ¥300.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥356.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

The Japanese Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group’s net revenue mainly consists of interest income from lending and deposit-taking operations and fees relating to financing, investment banking, real estate and stock transfer services for large Japanese corporate customers. The increase in net revenue was mainly due to higher net interest income from foreign currency-denominated loans and deposits reflecting higher interest rate spreads on such loans and deposits and larger balances of such deposits as well as higher fees and commissions from the investment banking business relating to M&A and IPO transactions.
Operating expenses of the Japanese Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group decreased ¥5.5 billion to ¥309.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥314.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The decrease mainly reflected the results of our cost reduction measures.
As a result, operating profit of the Japanese Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group increased ¥27.5 billion to ¥235.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥208.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.
Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group
Net revenue of the Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group increased ¥19.5 billion to ¥383.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥364.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group’s net revenue mainly consists of interest income from lending and deposit-taking operations and fees and commissions from investment banking services and foreign exchange and derivatives transactions for large
non-Japanese
corporate and institutional customers outside Japan. The increase in net revenue was mainly attributable to larger balances of loans and a decline in foreign currency-denominatedmid-
to long term funding costs as well as the closings of several large event-driven financing deals in the Americas and the Asia and Oceania region.Operating expenses of the Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group increased ¥14.8 billion to ¥241.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥226.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

Global Commercial Banking Business Group
Net revenue of the Global Commercial Banking Business Group increased ¥37.7 billion to ¥690.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥652.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The Global Commercial Banking Business Group’s net revenue mainly consists of interest income from lending and deposit-taking operations and fees from remittances and transfers, consumer finance and wealth-related services for individual and small to
medium-sized
corporate customers of MUFG Union Bank and Krungsri. The increase in net revenue was mainly due to higher net interest income reflecting an increase in Krungsri’s automobile loan portfolio. The increase in net revenue was also attributable to higher net interest income in MUFG Union Bank mainly reflecting an increase in its retail loan portfolio.Operating expenses of the Global Commercial Banking Business Group increased ¥14.7 billion to ¥483.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥468.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in expenses in Krungsri primarily reflecting larger volumes of business. The increase in operating expenses was also attributable to an increase in expenses for IT system development projects in the United States.
As a result, operating profit of the Global Commercial Banking Business Group increased ¥23.0 billion to ¥207.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥184.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.
Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group
Net revenue of the Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group increased ¥12.6 billion to ¥203.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥190.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group’s net revenue mainly consists of fees from asset management and administration services for products, such as pension trusts and mutual funds. The increase in net revenue was primarily attributable to higher fees from investor services both in and outside Japan, reflecting a larger balance of assets under management as we expanded our services to global fund customers and started to offer services for new domestic investment products. The increase in net revenue was also attributable to an increase in investment products sales to domestic corporate investors.
Operating expenses of the Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group increased ¥5.2 billion to ¥124.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥119.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The increase was mainly attributable to larger volumes of business.
As a result, operating profit of the Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group increased ¥7.4 billion to ¥78.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥71.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.
Global Markets Business Group
Net revenue of the Global Markets Business Group decreased ¥94.7 billion to ¥479.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥574.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. This was mainly due to lower net revenue from the asset and liability management operations, primarily reflecting tighter spreads between long-term and short-term interest rates in the United States as well as lower realized gains on sales of Japanese government bonds. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we recorded relatively higher realized gains on sales of Japanese government bonds executed in larger volumes in anticipation of greater fluctuations in interest rates in Japan. The decrease in net revenue was also attributable to a decline in customer business reflecting lower volatility in the bond and equity markets.
Operating expenses of the Global Markets Business Group decreased ¥5.2 billion to ¥223.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥228.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. This decrease
106
primarily reflected the results of our cost reduction measures, partially offset by an increase in expenses for financial regulatory compliance purposes.
As a result, operating profit of the Global Markets Business Group decreased ¥89.5 billion to ¥256.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 from ¥345.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019
Domestic net loss attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was ¥1,001.5 billion, compared to net loss of ¥345.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. This was mainly attributable to larger investment securities losses and the impairment losses on goodwill relating to Bank Danamon, MUFG Americas Holdings and Krungsri.
Foreign net income attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group increased ¥243.8 billion to ¥1,307.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥1,063.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The increase in foreign net income was mainly due to higher trading account profits, reflecting net profits from trading account securities under the fair value option in the United States.
Effect of Change in Exchange Rates on Foreign Currency Translation
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019
The average exchange rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was ¥108.74 per U.S.$1.00, compared to the average exchange rate of ¥110.91 per U.S.$1.00 for the previous fiscal year. The average exchange rate for the conversion of the U.S. dollar financial statements of some of our foreign subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 was ¥109.05 per U.S.$1.00, compared to the average exchange rate for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 of ¥110.43 per U.S.$1.00.
The change in the average exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies had the effect of decreasing total revenue by ¥91.0 billion, net interest income by ¥29.0 billion and income before income tax expense by ¥31.0 billion, respectively, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

Total Assets
Our total assets as of March 31, 2020 were ¥331,753.3 billion, an increase of ¥26,524.4 billion from ¥305,228.9 billion as of March 31, 2019. The increase in total assets mainly reflected an increase in receivables under resale agreements of ¥13,021.2 billion and an increase in trading account assets of ¥6,927.4, which were partially offset by a decrease in equity securities of ¥1,592.3 billion.
The following table shows our total assets as of March 31, 2019 and 2020 by geographic region based principally on the domicile of the obligors:

108
We have allocated a substantial portion of our assets to international activities. As a result, reported amounts are affected by changes in the exchange rates of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies. Foreign assets are denominated primarily in the U.S. dollar. The Japanese yen amount of foreign currency-denominated assets decreases as major foreign currencies depreciates against the Japanese yen. For example, as of March 31, 2020, the exchange rate was ¥108.83 per U.S.$1.00, as compared with ¥110.99 as of March 31, 2019. This appreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies between March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 resulted in a ¥2,671.5 billion decrease in the Japanese yen amount of our total assets as of March 31, 2020.

Notes:
(1) | Loans to so-called “non-bank finance companies” are generally included in the “Banks and other financial institutions” category.Non-bank finance companies are primarily engaged in consumer lending, factoring and credit card businesses. |
(2) | The above table includes loans held for sale of ¥291.8 billion and ¥344.8 billion as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. |
Loans are one of our main uses of funds. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the average balance of loans was ¥116,448.5 billion, accounting for 47.3% of the average total interest-earning assets, compared to ¥118,102.2 billion, representing 48.9% of the average total interest-earning assets, for the previous fiscal year. As of March 31, 2020, our total loans were ¥118,186.7 billion, accounting for 35.6% of total assets, compared to ¥116,883.9 billion, accounting for 38.3% of total assets as of March 31, 2019. As a percentage of total loans before unearned income, net unamortized premiums and net deferred loan fees, between March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, domestic loans decreased from 55.6% to 54.9%, while foreign loans increased from 44.4% to 45.1%.
109
Our domestic loan balance decreased ¥103.4 billion, or 0.2%, between March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. This was mainly due to a decrease in residential loans, which are included in the consumer category in the above table, as repayments exceeded newly extended loans.
Our foreign loan balance increased ¥1,451.9 billion, or 2.8%, between March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. This was primarily due to our acquisition of Bank Danamon. In addition, larger volumes of retail, consumer and residential loans in MUFG Union Bank and automobile loans in Krungsri contributed to the increase in the foreign loan balance. Particularly, the growth in the foreign loan balance was attributable to larger volumes of retail, consumer and residential loans in MUFG Americas Holdings and automobile loans in Krungsri.

We classify loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including, but not limited to, historical and current financial information, historical and current payment experience, credit documentation, public and
non-public
information about borrowers and current economic trends as deemed appropriate to each segment.111
The primary credit quality indicator for loans within all classes of the Commercial segment is the internal credit rating assigned to each borrower based on our internal borrower ratings of 1 through 15 with the rating of 1 assigned to a borrower with the highest quality of credit. When assigning a credit rating to a borrower, we evaluate the borrower’s expected debt-service capability based on various information, including financial and operating information of the borrower as well as information on the industry in which the borrower operates, and the borrower’s business profile, management and compliance system. In evaluating a borrower’s debt-service capability, we also conduct an assessment of the level of earnings and an analysis of the borrower’s net worth. Based on the internal borrower rating, loans within the Commercial segment are categorized as Normal (internal borrower ratings of 1 through 9), Close Watch (internal borrower ratings of 10 through 12), and Likely to become Bankrupt or Legally/Virtually Bankrupt (internal borrower ratings of 13 through 15).
Loans to borrowers categorized as Normal represent those that are not deemed to have collectability issues. Loans to borrowers categorized as Close Watch represent those that require close monitoring as the borrower has begun to exhibit elements of potential concern with respect to its business performance and financial condition, the borrower has begun to exhibit elements of serious concern with respect to its business performance and financial condition, including business problems requiring long-term solutions, or the borrower’s loans are TDRs or loans contractually past due 90 days or more for special reasons. Loans to borrowers categorized as Likely to become Bankrupt or Legally/Virtually Bankrupt represent those that have a higher probability of default than those categorized as Close Watch due to serious debt repayment problems with poor progress in achieving restructuring plans, the borrower being considered virtually bankrupt with no prospects for an improvement in business operations, or the borrower being legally bankrupt with no prospects for continued business operations because of
non-payment,
suspension of business, voluntary liquidation or filing for legal liquidation.For more information on our credit and borrower ratings, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk—Credit Risk Management.”
The accrual status is a primary credit quality indicator for loans within the Residential segment and the Card segment as well as consumer loans within the MUFG Americas Holdings segment. The accrual status of these loans is determined based on the number of delinquent payments.
Commercial loans within the MUFG Americas Holdings segment are categorized as either pass or criticized based on the internal credit rating assigned to each borrower. Criticized credits are those that are internally risk graded as Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful. Special Mention credits are potentially weak, as the borrower has begun to exhibit deteriorating trends, which, if not corrected, may jeopardize repayment of the loan and result in a further downgrade. Classified credits are those that are internally risk graded as Substandard or Doubtful. Substandard credits have well-defined weaknesses, which, if not corrected, could jeopardize the full satisfaction of the debt. A credit classified as Doubtful has critical weaknesses that make full collection improbable on the basis of currently existing facts and conditions.
Loans within the Krungsri segment are categorized as Normal, Special Mention, and Substandard, which is further divided into Substandard, Doubtful and Doubtful of Loss, primarily based on their delinquency status. Loans categorized as Special Mention generally represent those that have overdue principal repayments or interest payments for a cumulative period exceeding one month commencing from the contractual due date. Loans categorized as Substandard, Doubtful or Doubtful of Loss generally represent those that have overdue principal repayments or interest payments for a cumulative period exceeding three months, commencing from the contractual due date.
For the Commercial, Residential and Card segments, credit quality indicators are based on information as of March 31. For the MUFG Americas Holdings, Krungsri and Other segments, credit quality indicators are generally based on information as of December 31.

We recorded ¥321.7 billion of provision for credit losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, compared to ¥34.3 billion of provision for credit losses for the previous fiscal year. Our total allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2020 was ¥809.5 billion, an increase of ¥151.3 billion from ¥658.2 billion as of March 31, 2019. The total allowance for credit losses represented 0.68% of the total loan balance as of March 31, 2020, compared to 0.56% as of March 31, 2019. Significant trends in each portfolio segment are discussed below. See “—Business Environment—Recent Developments and Prospects.”

In addition, our recoveries increased as a result of collection from some large domestic borrowers in the Legally/Virtually Bankrupt category during the year ended March 31, 2020. As a result, the ratio of loans classified as Close Watch to total loans increased to 2.12% as of March 31, 2020 from 2.09% as of March 31, 2019, and the ratio of loans classified as Likely to become Bankrupt and Legally/Virtually Bankrupt to total loans increased to 0.42% as of March 31, 2020 from 0.38% as of March 31, 2019. The total allowance for credit losses for this segment represented 0.56% of the segment’s total loan balance as of Mach 31, 2020, compared to 0.45% as of March 31, 2019.Residential segment

quality of the portfolio remained substantially unchanged as the stable corporate environment in recent periods continued to have a positive impact on the financial condition of residential borrowers. The ratio of loans classified as Nonaccrual to total loans in the segment decreased to 0.46% as of March 31, 2020 from 0.48% as of March 31, 2019. The ratio of total allowance for credit losses to the total loan balance in this segment decreased to 0.26% as of March 31, 2020 from 0.28% as of March 31, 2019.

enterprises as well as unsecured consumer loans in Bank Danamon, which became our consolidated subsidiary in April 2019. The ratio of loans classified as nonaccrual to total loans in the segment was 2.81% as of March 31, 2020. The ratio of total allowance for credit losses to the total loan balance in this segment was 2.57% as of March 31, 2020.When there is an improvement in asset quality, reversal of credit losses is recorded in our consolidated statements of income to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level management deems appropriate.
Although we reversed allowance for credit losses for certain loan portfolio segments in recent periods, we have historically provided for credit losses, and in future periods we may need to recognize a provision for credit losses. See “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Credit Risk—We may suffer additional credit-related losses in the future if our borrowers are unable to repay their loans as expected or if the measures we take in reaction to, or in anticipation of, our borrowers’ deteriorating repayment abilities prove inappropriate or insufficient.”
115
Allowance policy
We maintain an allowance for credit losses to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. We have divided our allowance for credit losses into six portfolio segments—Commercial, Residential, Card, MUFG Americas Holdings, Krungsri and Other. Our allowance policy for the major portfolio segments—Commercial, Residential, Card, MUFG Americas Holdings and Krungsri—is summarized below.
For all portfolio segments, key elements relating to the policies and discipline used in determining the allowance for credit losses are our credit classification and related borrower categorization process, which are closely linked to the risk grading standards set by the Japanese regulatory authorities for asset evaluation and assessment, and are used as a basis for establishing the allowance for credit losses and charge-offs. The categorization is based on conditions that may affect the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial condition and results of operations, historical payment experience, credit documentation, other public information and current trends.
For more information on our credit and borrower ratings, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk—Credit Risk Management.”
For the Commercial, MUFG Americas Holdings and Krungsri segments, our allowance for credit losses primarily consists of allocated allowances. The allocated allowances consist of (1) an allowance for loans individually evaluated for impairment, (2) an allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, and (3) a formula allowance. The allocated allowance within the Commercial segment also includes an allowance for country risk exposure. The allowance for credit losses within the MUFG Americas Holdings segment also includes an unallocated allowance which captures losses that are attributable to economic events in various industry or geographic sectors whose impact on our loan portfolios in these segments have occurred but have yet to be recognized in the allocated allowance. For the Residential and Card segments, the loans are smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are pooled by the risk ratings based on the number of delinquencies.
For more information on our methodologies used to estimate the allowance for each portfolio segment, see “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report and “—Critical Accounting Estimates—Allowance for Credit Losses” above.
On April 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with the current expected credit loss model that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. As a result, considering the COVID-19 pandemic and macroeconomic variables under the circumstances, we estimate that our allowance for credit losses and allowance for off-balance sheet credit instruments increased an aggregate of approximately ¥380 billion to ¥450 billion as of the opening balance sheet date. For more information on this guidance, see Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Allowance for
off-balance
sheet credit instrumentsWe maintain an allowance for credit losses on
off-balance
sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, guarantees, standby letters of credit and other financial instruments. The allowance is included in other liabilities. We have adopted for such instruments the same methodology as that which is used in determining the allowance for credit losses on loans.The allowance for credit losses on
off-balance
sheet credit instruments was ¥57.0 billion as of March 31, 2020, a decrease of ¥62.3 billion from ¥119.3 billion as of March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily because a large domestic borrower in the services industry, in whose favor we have provided guarantees in substantial amounts, had improved the credit capability by the restructuring efforts.116
Intervening Event
We consolidate certain foreign subsidiaries based on financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31 as this date and our fiscal year which ended on March 31 have been treated as coterminous. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the effect of recording a provision for credit losses and a provision for off-balance sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, guarantees and standby letters of credit, as an intervening event primarily due to the economic environment triggered by COVID-19 pandemic for the three-month period ended March 31 2020 would have been approximately ¥84 billion and would have resulted in a decrease of ¥58 billion to net income attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. This intervening event occurring during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, if recorded, would not have had a substantial and permanent effects on consolidated total assets, net income or total equity as of March 31, 2020, and therefore, the intervening event was not recognized for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
Nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructurings
We consider a loan to be a nonaccrual loan when substantial doubt exists as to the full and timely payment of interest on, or repayment of, the principal of the loan, which is a borrower condition that generally corresponds to borrowers in categories 13 and below in our internal rating system (which corresponds to “Likely to become Bankrupt,” “Virtually Bankrupt” and “Bankrupt or de facto Bankrupt” status under Japanese banking regulations). Substantially all nonaccrual loans are also impaired loans. Loans are also placed in nonaccrual status when principal or interest is contractually past due one month or more with respect to loans within all classes of the Commercial segment, three months or more with respect to loans within the Card, MUFG Americas Holdings and Krungsri segments, and six months or more with respect to loans within the Residential segment.
We modify certain loans in conjunction with our loss-mitigation activities. Through these modifications, concessions are granted to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty, generally in order to minimize economic loss, to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral, and to ultimately maximize payments received from the borrower. The concessions granted vary by portfolio segment, by program, and by borrower-specific characteristics, and may include interest rate reductions, term extensions, payment deferrals, and partial principal forgiveness. Loan modifications that represent concessions made to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulties are identified as troubled debt restructurings, or TDRs. TDRs are also considered impaired loans, and an allowance for credit losses is separately established for each loan.
Generally, accruing loans that are modified in a TDR remain as accruing loans subsequent to the modification, and nonaccrual loans remain as nonaccrual. However, if a nonaccrual loan has been modified as a TDR and the borrower is not delinquent under the modified terms, and demonstrates that its financial condition has improved, we may reclassify the loan to accrual status. This determination is generally performed at least once a year through a detailed internal credit rating review process. Although we have not defined any minimum period to qualify for an upgrade, it is not common for a borrower to be able to demonstrate that its business problems have been resolved or can soon be resolved within a short period of time following a restructuring. If the borrower is upgraded to category 12 or higher in our internal rating system (which corresponds to “Normal” and “Close Watch” status under the Japanese banking regulations), a TDR would be reclassified to accrual status. Once a nonaccrual loan is deemed to be a TDR, we will continue to designate the loan as a TDR even if the loan is reclassified to accrual status.
A loan that has been modified into a TDR is considered to be impaired until it matures, is repaid, or is otherwise liquidated, regardless of whether the borrower performs under the modified terms.
For more information on our credit and borrower ratings, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk—Credit Risk Management.”
For more information on our TDRs, see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Total TDRs increased ¥40.6 billion between March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. Significant trends in each portfolio segment are discussed below.
Commercial segment
medium-sized
domestic borrowers in the wholesale and retail and consumer categories of loans classified as TDRs pursuant to their respective restructured terms. The continued gradual recovery of economic conditions in Japan positively affected the financial performance and repayment ability of such borrowers during the first three quarters of the119
fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. TDRs in the foreign commercial category increased primarily as a result of the restructuring of the loans to the large foreign borrowers in the electric power sector.
Residential segment
Card segment
MUFG Americas Holdings segment
Krungsri segment
In the above table, TDRs for the Commercial and Residential segments include accruing loans with concessions granted, and do not include nonaccrual loans with concessions granted, whereas TDRs for the Card, MUFG Americas Holdings, Krungsri and Other segments include accrual and nonaccrual loans. In the Commercial and Residential segments, once a loan is classified as a nonaccrual loan, a modification would have little likelihood of resulting in the recovery of the loan in view of the severity of the financial difficulty of the borrower. Therefore, even if a nonaccrual loan is modified, the loan continues to be classified as a nonaccrual loan. The vast majority of modifications to nonaccrual loans are temporary extensions of the maturity dates, typically for periods up to 90 days, and continually made as the borrower is unable to repay or refinance the loan at the extended maturity. Accordingly, the impact of such TDRs on the outstanding recorded investment is immaterial, and the vast majority of nonaccrual TDRs have subsequently defaulted.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, extensions of the stated maturity dates of loans were the primary concession type in the Commercial, Residential, MUFG Americas Holdings and Krungsri segments and reductions in the stated rates were the primary concession type in the Card and Other segments.
Impaired loans and impairment allowance
Impaired loans primarily include nonaccrual loans and TDRs. We consider a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all of the scheduled payments of interest on, and repayment of, the principal of the loan when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Notes:

While we originate various types of loans to corporate and individual borrowers in Japan and overseas in the normal course of business, we dispose of nonperforming loans in order to improve our loan quality. Most of these nonperforming loans are disposed of by sales to third parties without any continuing involvement.
Through the sale of nonperforming loans to third parties, gains or losses may arise from factors such as a change in the credit quality of the borrowers or the value of the underlying collateral subsequent to the prior reporting date, and the risk appetite and investment policy of the purchasers.
The principal amount of
non-performing
loans sold in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 increased compared to the previous fiscal year mainly due to increased sales of nonperforming loans outstanding to some large domestic and foreign borrowers in the Commercial segment.In connection with the sale of loans, including performing loans, we recorded net gains of ¥20.7 billion and ¥6.5 billion for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Investment Portfolio
Our investment securities primarily consist of Japanese government bonds and marketable equity securities. Japanese government bonds are mostly classified as
available-for-sale
debt securities. Our investment in Japanese government bonds is a part of our asset and liability management policy with respect to investing the amount of Japaneseyen-denominated
funds exceeding our net loans. The percentage of our holding ofavailable-for-sale
Japanese government bonds to the total investment securities was 53.6% as of March 31, 2020, remaining at a similar level to March 31, 2019. We also hold Japanese government bonds that are classified asheld-to-maturity
debt securities, which accounted for 2.5% of the total investment securities as of March 31, 2020.Historically, we have held equity securities of some of our customers primarily for strategic purposes, in particular to maintain long-term relationships with these customers. We continue to focus on reducing our investment in equity securities for such purposes in order to reduce the price fluctuation risk in our equity portfolio from a risk management perspective and to respond to applicable regulatory requirements as well as increasing market expectations for us to reduce our equity portfolio. As of March 31, 2019 and 2020, the aggregate book value of our marketable equity securities under Japanese GAAP satisfied the requirements of the
125
legislation prohibiting banks from holding equity securities in excess of their Tier 1 capital. In November 2015, we announced that we would aim to reduce the balance of equity securities held for strategic purposes valued under Japanese GAAP
to approximately 10% of our Tier 1 capital over a five-year period. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we sold down ¥139 billion of equity securities held in our strategic equity investment portfolio valued under Japanese GAAP. As of March 31, 2020, the balance of such securities valued under Japanese GAAP
represented 12.8% of our Tier 1 capital. However, various factors, including market conditions and changes in our Tier 1 capital ratio, may affect the amount of equity securities we should sell and our ability to achieve the target as planned.
Investment securities decreased ¥1,186.8 billion to ¥43,751.2 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥44,938.0 billion as of March 31, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in equity securities, particularly domestic marketable equity securities.

Net unrealized gains on
available-for-sale
debt securities decreased ¥51.6 billion to ¥292.4 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥344.0 billion as of March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a ¥174.7 billion decrease in net unrealized gains on Japanese government and Japanese government agency bonds, reflecting generally rising trends in the yield on such bonds. The decrease was offset in part by an improvement in net unrealized losses on foreign government and official institutions bonds, reflecting declining trends in the yield on such bonds.The amortized cost of
available-for-sale
debt securities increased ¥733.3 billion to ¥33,907.8 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥33,174.5 billion as of March 31, 2019. This increase was mainly attributable to a126
¥734.7 billion increase in Japanese prefectural and municipal bonds and a ¥287.2 billion increase in foreign government and official institution bonds. These increases were partially offset by a ¥440.1 billion decrease in Japanese government and Japanese government agency bonds.
The amortized cost of
held-to-maturity
debt securities decreased ¥276.1 billion to ¥4,165.8 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥4,441.9 billion as of March 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in mortgage-backed securities.Losses resulting from impairment of investment securities, which reflect the decline in the value of
available-for-sale
debt securities considered to be other than temporary, were ¥1.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 compared to ¥0.6 billion for the previous fiscal year. These losses were reflected in net investment securities gains (losses) in our consolidated statements of income.The following table shows information relating to our equity securities as of March 31, 2019 and 2020:

(3) | These investment securities are held by certain subsidiaries subject to specialized industry accounting principles for investment companies and brokers and dealers, and are measured at fair value. |
Equity securities decreased ¥1,592.4 billion to ¥5,385.2 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥6,977.6 billion as of March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the fair value of marketable equity securities as the stock prices in Japan declined towards March 31, 2020.
Investment securities other than
available-for-sale
debt securities,held-to-maturity
debt securities and marketable equity securities consist of nonmarketable equity securities, which are included in equity securities on our consolidated balance sheets. Nonmarketable equity securities were primarily carried at cost of ¥619.1 billion as of March 31, 2019 and ¥616.9 billion as of March 31, 2020, respectively, because their fair values were not readily determinable. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the holdings of unlisted preferred securities, reflecting the redemption of preferred securities issued by overseas special purpose companies.Cash and Due from Banks, and Interest-earning Deposits in Other Banks
Cash and due from banks decreased ¥641.3 billion to ¥33,283.0 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥33,924.3 billion as of March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily because of a decrease in deposit with the Bank of Japan.
127
Interest-earning deposits in other banks increased ¥4,619.8 billion to ¥45,266.7 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥40,646.9 billion as of March 31, 2019. This increase was mainly because of an increase in interest-bearing funds held at the Federal Reserve in the United States.
Receivables under Resale Agreements
Receivables under resale agreements increased ¥13,021.3 billion to ¥23,996.0 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥10,974.7 billion as of March 31, 2019. This was mainly in reaction to increases in payables under repurchase agreements, due to trust account and other short-term borrowings as we increased our funding capacity in anticipation of a significant increase in financing needs in the market following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Receivables under Securities Borrowing Transactions
Receivables under securities borrowing transactions increased ¥685.4 billion to ¥3,444.0 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥2,758.6 billion as of March 31, 2019. This increase was mainly due to an increase in collateral deposited for funding in domestic banking and securities subsidiaries.
Trading Account Assets
Trading account assets increased ¥6,927.5 billion to ¥47,504.1 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥40,576.6 billion as of March 31, 2019. Trading account assets consist of trading account securities and trading derivative assets. Trading account securities increased ¥5,174.4 billion to ¥32,546.5 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥27,372.1 billion as of March 31, 2019. This increase was mainly due to the higher fair value of our trading residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio. Trading derivative assets increased ¥1,753.1 billion to ¥14,957.6 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥13,204.5 billion as of March 31, 2019. This increase was mainly attributable to the higher fair value of interest rate contracts.
Total Liabilities
As of March 31, 2020, total liabilities were ¥316,008.8 billion, an increase of ¥26,764.6 billion from ¥289,244.2 billion as of March 31, 2019. This was primarily due to an increase of ¥9,324.4 billion in other short-term borrowings, including borrowings from the Bank of Japan, and an increase of ¥6,625.3 billion in payables under repurchase agreements.
Deposits
Deposits are our primary source of funds. The balance of deposits increased ¥4,673.7 billion to ¥203,954.5 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥199,280.8 billion as of March 31, 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in domestic deposits, primarily in Japan.
The total average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased ¥2,903.7 billion to ¥169,511.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥166,607.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, mainly due to an increase in domestic deposits.
Payables under Repurchase Agreements
Payables under repurchase agreements increased ¥6,625.3 billion to ¥31,849.9 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥25,224.6 billion as of March 31, 2019. This increase was mainly because we increased our funding capacity in anticipation of a significant increase in financing needs in the market following the outbreak of the
COVID-19
pandemic.128
Other Short-Term Borrowings
Other short-term borrowings increased ¥9,324.4 billion to ¥16,055.5 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥6,731.1 billion as of March 31, 2019. This increase was mainly attributable to borrowings from the Bank of Japan in anticipation of a significant increase in financing needs in the market following the outbreak of the
COVID-19
pandemic.Long-term Debt
Long-term debt decreased ¥63.7 billion to ¥27,926.8 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥27,990.5 billion as of March 31, 2019. This decrease was mainly due to redemption of long-term debt by MUFG Bank. The average balance of long-term debt for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was ¥28,034.0 billion, a decrease of ¥633.5 billion from ¥28,667.5 billion for the previous fiscal year.
Sources of Funding and Liquidity
Our primary source of liquidity is from a large balance of deposits, mainly ordinary deposits, certificates of deposit and time deposits. Time deposits have historically shown a high rollover rate among our corporate customers and individual depositors. The average deposit balance increased to ¥199,791.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 from ¥196,393.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. These deposits provide us with a sizable source of stable and
low-cost
funds. Our average deposits, combined with our average total equity of ¥15,417.9 billion, funded 66.1% of our average total assets of ¥325,500.4 billion during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. Our deposits exceeded our loans before allowance for credit losses by ¥85,767.8 billion as of March 31, 2020 compared to ¥82,396.9 billion as of March 31, 2019. As part of our asset and liability management policy, a significant portion of the amount of Japaneseyen-denominated
funds exceeding our loans has been deposited with the Bank of Japan or invested in Japanese government bonds in recent periods.The remaining funding was primarily provided by short-term borrowings and long-term senior and subordinated debt. Short-term borrowings consist of call money, funds purchased, payables under repurchase agreements, payables under securities lending transactions, due to trust account, and other short-term borrowings. From time to time, we have issued long-term instruments, including various fixed and floating interest rate senior and subordinated bonds with and without maturities. The balance of our short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2020 was ¥55,968.9 billion, and the average balance of short-term borrowings for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was ¥37,630.9 billion. The balance of our long-term debt as of March 31, 2020 was ¥27,926.8 billion, and the average balance of long-term debt for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was ¥28,034.1 billion. Liquidity may also be provided by the sale of financial assets, including
available-for-sale
debt securities, marketable equity securities, trading account securities and loans. Additional liquidity may be provided by the maturity of loans.We manage liquidity separately at certain of our domestic and foreign banking and
non-bank
subsidiaries because they are subject to separate regulatory requirements, pursue different business models and have distinctive liquidity risk profiles. We manage our group-wide liquidity on a consolidated basis based on the tests and analyses conducted at the subsidiary level. Liquidity risk management measures at the subsidiary level include the following:• | Domestic banking subsidiaries pre-determined levels for certain periods (e.g., one-day, two-week andone-month). The major domestic banking subsidiaries also monitor the balance of buffer assets they respectively hold, including Japanese government bonds and U.S. Treasury bonds, which can be used for cash funding even in periods of stress. In addition, the major domestic banking subsidiaries regularly perform liquidity stress testing designed to evaluate the impact of systemic market stress conditions and institution-specific stress events, including credit rating downgrades, on their liquidity positions; |
129
• | Foreign banking subsidiaries non-core funding dependence ratio, and minimum liquidity assets, as a tool to maintain a sufficient amount of liquidity and diversity of funding sources to allow them to meet expected obligations in both stable and adverse conditions. They regularly conduct stress testing, which incorporates both bank-specific and systemic market scenarios that would adversely affect its liquidity position, to facilitate the identification of appropriate remedial measures to help ensure that it maintains adequate liquidity in adverse conditions. In addition, we are working with our other foreign banking subsidiaries to enhance their liquidity risk management measures; |
• | Securities subsidiaries pre-determined levels for specified periods. In addition, the securities subsidiaries regularly conduct analyses designed to assess the period for which they can continue to meet their respective liquidity requirements by selling or pledging assets they respectively hold under scenarios where they are unable to access any additional sources of financing in the market; and |
• | Non-bank subsidiaries non-bank subsidiaries, including Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS, regularly conduct cash flow analyses designed to assess their ability to generate sufficient liquidity for specified periods, considering the cash and cash equivalents as well as deposits they respectively hold, and their respective operating income and expenses under scenarios where they are no longer able to obtain funding from markets through issuance of commercial paper, bonds or other instruments. Thenon-bank subsidiaries also conduct analyses to ensure sufficient liquidity and funding are available from our bank subsidiaries and other financial institutions outside of our group of companies. |
We collect and evaluate the results of the stress tests individually performed by our major subsidiaries to ensure our ability to meet our liquidity requirements on a consolidated basis in stress scenarios.
We manage our funding sources by setting limits on, or targets for, our holdings of buffer assets, primarily Japanese government bonds. As of March 31, 2020, we held ¥23,462.9 billion of Japanese government bonds and government agency bonds as
available-for-sale
debt securities. We also regard deposits with the Bank of Japan as buffer assets. In addition, our commercial banking subsidiaries manage their funding sources through liquidity-supplying products such as commitment lines and through a liquidity gap, or the excess of cash inflows over cash outflows.In April 2020, Fitch downgraded the long-term credit ratings of MUFG, MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking by
one-notch
from A to A-. Any downgrade of the credit ratings assigned to us or our major subsidiaries could increase the cost, or decrease the availability, of our funding, particularly in U.S. dollars and other foreign currencies, adversely affect our liquidity position or net interest margin, trigger additional collateral or funding obligations, and result in losses of depositors, investors and counterparties willing or permitted to transact with us, thereby reducing our ability to generate income and weakening our financial position. See “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Funding Liquidity Risk—A downgrade of our credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to access and maintain liquidity.”Liquidity Requirements for Banking Institutions in Japan
We are required to calculate and disclose our LCR calculated in accordance with the methodology prescribed in the FSA guidance that has been adopted to implement the relevant Basel III standard. Starting in the calendar year 2019, we are required to maintain a minimum LCR of 100%. See “Item 4.B.

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2020 was ¥15,016.5 billion, a decrease of ¥183.1 billion from ¥15,199.6 billion as of March 31, 2019.
Capital surplus decreased ¥43.7 billion to ¥5,533.5 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥5,577.2 billion as of March 31, 2019. This decrease was mainly due to repurchases of shares of our common stock and cancellation of the repurchased shares.
Retained earnings decreased ¥14.5 billion to ¥8,319.1 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥8,333.6 billion as of March 31, 2019, primarily reflecting dividend payments partially offset by the net income of our banking subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. We decided to pay our
year-end
dividend of ¥12.5 per share of our common stock for the six months ended March 31, 2020, resulting in an annual dividend of ¥25 per share of our common stock for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.As a result of our adoption on April 1, 2020 of Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, we estimate that our retained earnings decreased approximately ¥270 billion to ¥330 billion as of the opening balance sheet date. For more information on this guidance, see Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Accumulated other comprehensive losses, net of taxes, as of March 31, 2020 was ¥420.4 billion, compared to ¥284.3 billion in losses as of March 31, 2019. This was mainly due to ¥129.6 billion of negative net change in the balance of pension liability adjustments because the investment returns on our pension plans decreased.
Total equity decreased ¥240.2 billion to ¥15,744.5 billion as of March 31, 2020 from ¥15,984.7 billion as of March 31, 2019. The ratio of total equity to total assets decreased 0.49 percentage points to 4.75% as of March 31, 2020 from 5.24% as of March 31, 2019.
Capital Adequacy
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the regulatory authorities of the countries in which we operate. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in mandatory actions being taken by regulators that could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Moreover, if our capital ratios are perceived to be low, our counterparties may avoid entering into transactions with us, which in turn could negatively affect our business and operations. For further information, see “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Ability to Meet Regulatory Capital
131
Requirements—We may not be able to maintain our capital ratios and other regulatory ratios above minimum required levels, which could result in various regulatory actions, including the suspension of some or all of our operations.”
We continually monitor our risk-adjusted capital ratios, leverage ratio and TLAC ratios closely, and manage our operations in consideration of the capital requirements. Factors that affect some or all of these ratios include fluctuations in the value of our assets, including our credit risk assets such as loans and equity securities, the risk weights of which depend on the borrowers’ or issuers’ internal ratings, and marketable securities, and fluctuations in the value of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies, as well as general price levels of Japanese equity securities.
Capital Requirements for Banking Institutions in Japan
Under Japanese regulatory capital requirements, our consolidated capital components, including Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and Tier 2 capital and risk-weighted assets, are calculated based on our consolidated financial statements prepared under Japanese GAAP. Each of the consolidated and stand-alone capital components and risk-weighted assets of our banking subsidiaries in Japan is also calculated based on consolidated and
non-consolidated
financial statements prepared under Japanese GAAP.As of March 31, 2020, we were required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, a
G-SIB
surcharge of 1.5% and a countercyclical buffer of 0.01% in addition to the 4.5% minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Japan—Capital adequacy.”We have been granted approval by the FSA to exclude the majority of our investment in Morgan Stanley from being subject to double gearing adjustments. The approval was granted for a
10-year
period, but the approval amount will be phased out by 20% each year starting from March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, a full application of double gearing adjustments with respect to our investment in Morgan Stanley would have reduced our Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio by approximately 0.7 percentage points.Leverage Requirements for Banking Institutions in Japan
Our consolidated leverage ratio is calculated in accordance with the methodology prescribed in the FSA guidance that has been adopted to implement the relevant Basel III standard. The leverage ratio is designed for monitoring and preventing the
build-up
of excessive leverage in the banking sector and is expressed as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total balance sheet assets adjusted in accordance with the FSA guidance. As of March 31, 2020, we were required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3.00%. AG-SIB
leverage ratio buffer equal to 50% of the applicableG-SIB
capital surcharge is expected to be applied to us in 2023. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Japan—Leverage Ratio.”TLAC Requirements for Banking Institutions in Japan
Our external TLAC ratios are calculated in accordance with the methodology prescribed in the FSA guidance that has been adopted to implement the TLAC Principle published by the FSB in November 2015. External TLAC ratios are expressed as the ratio of external TLAC amount to risk-weighted assets or leverage exposure in accordance with the FSA guidance. We are required to maintain external TLAC ratios of 16% on a risk-weighted assets basis and 6% on a leverage exposure basis from March 31, 2019 and 18% on a risk-weighted assets basis and 6.75% on a leverage exposure basis from March 31, 2022. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Japan—Total loss-absorbing capacity.” For information on the issuances of TLAC-qualified securities, see also “Recent Developments—Issuances of Senior Debt Securities for TLAC Purposes.”

The TLAC ratio on a risk-weighted assets basis and the required minimum ratios as of March 31, 2020 do not include the regulatory capital buffers consisting of a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, aG-SIB surcharge of 1.5% and a countercyclical buffer of 0.01%. |
Management believes that, as of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all capital adequacy requirements to which we were subject.
Our Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio as of March 31, 2020 was lower compared to the ratio as of March 31, 2019 due to a decrease in Common Equity Tier 1 capital, more than offsetting the impact of the decrease in risk-weighted assets. The decrease in Common Equity Tier 1 capital was mainly due to decreases in retained earnings and unrealized gains on
available-for-sale
securities. The decrease in risk-weighted assets mainly reflected a decrease in credit risks resulting from updates to parameters for the calculation of credit risks and the impact of the appreciation of the Japanese yen against other major currencies, lower stock values and changes in other financial markets.Capital Ratios and Leverage Ratios of Major Banking Subsidiaries in Japan

Capital Requirements for Banking Institutions in the United States
In the United States, MUFG Americas Holdings and MUFG Union Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the U.S. Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the applicable minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on MUFG Americas Holdings’ consolidated financial statements.
For a more detailed discussion of the applicable capital requirements, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—United States.” See also Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
In addition, as foreign banking organizations that have U.S. branches and agencies and also as entities that are controlled by MUFG, MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking are subject to the FRB’s requirements.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2019, the OCC categorized MUFG Union Bank as “well-capitalized.” To be categorized as “well-capitalized,” MUFG Union Bank must maintain minimum ratios of Total capital, Tier I capital and Common Equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to quarterly average assets (leverage ratio) as set forth in the table.
For further information, see Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Capital Requirements for Securities Firms in Japan and Overseas
We have securities subsidiaries in Japan and overseas, which are also subject to regulatory capital requirements. In Japan, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan and related ordinances require financial instruments firms to maintain a minimum capital ratio of 120% calculated as a percentage of capital accounts less certain fixed assets, as determined in accordance with Japanese GAAP, against amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operational risks. Specific guidelines are issued as a ministerial ordinance which details the definition of essential components of the capital ratios, including capital, deductible fixed asset
items and risks, and related measures. Failure to maintain a minimum capital ratio will trigger mandatory regulatory actions. A capital ratio of less than 140% will call for additional regulatory reporting, a capital ratio of less than 120% may result in an order to change the method of business, and a capital ratio of less than 100% may lead to a suspension of all or part of the business for a period of time and cancellation of a registration. Overseas securities subsidiaries are subject to the relevant regulatory capital requirements of the countries or jurisdictions in which they operate.
Capital Ratio of Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities
As of March 31, 2020, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities’ capital accounts less certain fixed assets of ¥440.5 billion on a stand-alone basis represented 313.0% of the total amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operational risks. As of the same date, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities’ capital accounts less certain fixed assets of ¥465.3 billion on a consolidated basis represented 316.2% of the total amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operational risks. As of March 31, 2019, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities’ capital accounts less certain fixed assets of ¥446.6 billion on a stand-alone basis represented 331.6% of the total amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operational risks. As of the same date, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities’ capital accounts less certain fixed assets of ¥469.3 billion on a consolidated basis represented 332.2% of the total amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operational risks. These figures are calculated in accordance with Japanese GAAP, pursuant to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan.

See Note 24 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for a description of the nature of our guarantees and other
off-balance
sheet instruments.The contractual amounts of these guarantees and other
off-balance
sheet instruments represent the amounts at risk if the contracts were to be fully drawn upon as a result of a subsequent default by our customer and a decline in the value of the underlying collateral. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total contractual or notional amounts of these commitments do not necessarily represent our future cash requirements. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 64% of these commitments have an expiration date within one year, 25% have an expiration date from one year to five years, and 11% have an expiration date after five years. Risks relating tooff-balance
sheet instruments are monitored and managed as a part of our risk management system as set forth in “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk.” We evaluateoff-balance
sheet arrangements in the manner described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.The fees generated specifically from
off-balance
sheet arrangements are not a dominant source of our overall fees and commissions.Some of our
off-balance
sheet arrangements are related to activities of special purpose entities, most of which are VIEs. For further information, see Note 25 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.138

Notes:
(1) | Contractual obligations related to estimated interest expense on time deposit obligations are calculated by applying the March 31, 2020 weighted-average interest rate on outstanding time deposits. |
(2) | The total amount of expected future pension payments is not included in the above table or the total amount of commitments outstanding as of March 31, 2020. We expect to contribute approximately ¥26.3 billion for pension and other benefits for our employees for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. For further information, see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. |
(3) | The above table does not include unrecognized tax benefits and interest and penalties related to income tax associated with the guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes as we cannot estimate reasonably the timing of cash settlement of the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The total amount of the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits is ¥19.2 billion as of March 31, 2020. Among the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately ¥2.4 billion during the next twelve months. For further information, see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. |
Purchase obligations include any legally binding contractual obligations that require us to spend more than ¥100 million annually under the contract. Purchase obligations in the table primarily include commitments to make investments into corporate recovery or private equity investment funds.

Annual Base Salary
Annual base salaries were paid to our directors (including outside directors) and corporate executives in the form of monthly cash installment payments. The aggregate annual base salary paid to our directors (excluding outside directors) and corporate executives for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was ¥1,357 million. The aggregate annual base salary paid to our outside directors for the same period was ¥224 million.
Performance-based Stock Compensation Plans
Under our performance-based stock compensation plans, qualified directors (excluding outside directors and directors serving as audit committee members), corporate executives and others of MUFG and its major domestic subsidiaries are assigned, on a monthly basis, (1) points based on their job responsibilities, or
non-adjustable
points, and (2) additional points based on their job responsibilities which are adjusted at the end of each fiscal year and at the end of each plan period to reflect the extent to which a financial performance target determined by the compensation committee is attained, or adjustable points. Each plan period corresponds to the period covered by the three-year medium-term business plan of MUFG. Each accumulated point represents a right to receive one share of MUFG common stock from a trust established in Japan to administer the plan grants as determined by the compensation committee.The right to receive shares of MUFG common stock in exchange for
non-adjustable
points becomes vested and nonforfeitable, and the shares are delivered, upon the grantee’s departure from his or her job responsibilities based on which the right was granted. The right to receive shares of MUFG common stock in exchange for adjustable points becomes vested and nonforfeitable, and the shares are delivered, at the end of each plan period. The vesting in either case is subject to conditions imposed by the compensation committee, includingnon-engagement
in misconduct. A portion of the shares subject to a grantee’s vested right may be delivered in cash.The grantees are entitled to “dividend equivalent credits” on their granted but unvested rights under the plan when MUFG pays dividends to its shareholders. The credit is equal to the dividends that the grantees would have received on the shares had the shares been issued to the grantees in exchange for their granted but unvested rights under the plan, less expenses relating to the administration of the plan. Accumulated dividend equivalents are paid to grantees at the time of the delivery of the shares.
The shares to be delivered to grantees are purchased on the open market by the trustee of the trust pursuant to a trust agreement among MUFG, the trustee and the independent caretaker of the trust. Each plan is funded in cash up to a maximum aggregate amount determined by our compensation committee.
The initial performance-based stock compensation plan commenced on July 1, 2016. The grants under the plan were tied to MUFG’s previous medium-term business plan for the three-year period ended March 31, 2018. The trust for the plan was funded with ¥9.8 billion in cash, and 18,785,400 shares of MUFG common stock were purchased by the trustee of the plan trust in May 2016. The plan was adopted after our compensation committee decided in May 2016 to cease to provide any additional stock acquisition rights under our previous stock-based compensation structure and to introduce the performance-based stock compensation plan.
The second performance-based stock compensation plan commenced on December 1, 2016. The trust for the plan was funded with 8.8 billion in cash, and an aggregate of 13,004,300 shares of MUFG common stock were purchased by the trustee of the plan trust in November 2016 and May 2017. The plan was adopted to replace the outstanding stock acquisition rights under our previous stock-based compensation structure. Upon the adoption of the plan, the stock acquisition rights that had been allotted to grantees but remained unexercised under the then-outstanding stock-based compensation plans were exchanged for points under the performance-based stock compensation plan, and the rights to receive shares of MUFG common stock represented by these points were vested. The outstanding stock acquisition rights of grantees who were on overseas assignments at the time of the adoption of the plan were exchanged for points under the performance-based stock compensation plan upon their return to Japan.
154
On May 15, 2018, the compensation committee approved new grants under the initial performance-based stock compensation plan, which was amended in connection with the launch of MUFG’s current medium-term business plan for the three-year period ending March 31, 2021. The trust period of the plan trust was extended until August 31, 2021, and the maximum amount of funds to be contributed to the plan trust was reset at ¥26.3 billion. The formula for determining adjustable points under the plan was also revised. In May 2018, the plan trust was funded with ¥9.6 billion in cash, and 13,049,600 shares of MUFG common stock were purchased by the trustee of the plan trust.
For more information on the Performance-based Stock Compensation Plans, see “Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.”
Cash Bonuses
We from time to time pay cash bonuses to our directors and corporate executives to further motivate them to contribute to the improvement of our stock prices and profits if such bonuses are deemed appropriate based on a balanced scorecard approach taking into account the results of operations of the MUFG Group and each director’s or corporate executive’s individual performance of his or her duties as a director or corporate executive in light of both quantitative and qualitative criteria, including our medium-term strategy for improving our corporate value. None of the outside directors is eligible to receive a cash bonus. The compensation committee determines the cash bonus for each director and corporate executive based on our financial results and his or her job performance for the preceding fiscal year as well as his or her seniority and experience. The aggregate cash bonus paid to our directors and corporate executives for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was ¥508 million.
Retirement Allowances
Prior to June 28, 2007, in accordance with customary Japanese practice, when a director or corporate auditor retired, a proposal to pay a retirement allowance was submitted at the annual ordinary general meeting of shareholders for approval. The retirement allowance consisted of a
one-time
payment of a portion of the allowance paid at the time of retirement and periodic payments of the remaining amount for a prescribed number of years. After the shareholders’ approval was obtained, the retirement allowance for a director or corporate auditor was fixed by the board of directors or by consultation among the corporate auditors in accordance with our internal regulations and practice and generally reflected the position of the director or corporate auditor at the time of retirement, the length of his service as a director or corporate auditor and his contribution to our performance. Historically, MUFG did not set aside reserves for any retirement payments for directors and corporate auditors made under this practice.Pursuant to a
one-time
shareholders’ approval in June 2007, retirement allowances are paid in cash to the directors and corporate auditors who were elected prior to that date at the time of their retirement. A reserve in the total amount of such retirement allowances was set aside as of September 30, 2007. No retirement allowance was paid by MUFG and its subsidiaries pursuant to theone-time
shareholder approval during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 to our directors (excluding outside directors), to corporate auditors (excluding outside corporate auditors) and to outside directors and corporate auditors, who have retired from their respective positions held at MUFG or, if such directors and corporate auditors concurrently held positions at MUFG’s subsidiaries, who have retired from such positions.Stock-based Compensation Plans
Prior to 2016, as part of our compensation structure, we issued stock acquisition rights to further motivate our directors (excluding outside directors) and certain of our corporate auditors and officers to contribute to the improvement of our stock prices and profits. As of March 31, 2020, an aggregate of 1,669 stock acquisition rights, each representing a right to purchase 100 shares of MUFG common stock at ¥1 per share of common stock, under these previous stock-based compensation plans remained unexercised. All of them were waived as
155
of April 1, 2020, and exchanged for points under the second performance-based stock compensation plan as of April 2, 2020.
MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation Stock Bonus Plan
Under the MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation Stock Bonus Plan, qualified key employees of MUFG Americas Holdings are granted Restricted Share Units, or RSUs, representing a right to receive American Depositary Receipts, or ADRs, evidencing ADSs, each exchangeable for one share of MUFG common stock, from an independent trust established to administer the plan grants, upon the satisfaction of vesting conditions, to be determined pursuant to the plan as well as a Restricted Share Unit Agreement between MUFG Americas Holdings and the grantees.
Unless otherwise provided in the relevant Restricted Share Unit Agreement, RSUs become vested and nonforfeitable as follows:
one-third
(33 1/3%) of a grantee’s RSUs vests on each one year anniversary of the date of the grant such that all of the RSUs become fully vested after three years from the grant date so long as the grantee satisfies the specified continuous service requirements and any other conditions under the applicable plan documents, subject to certain clawback and notice period provisions.Under the plan, the grantees are entitled to “dividend equivalent credits” on their granted but unvested RSUs when MUFG pays dividends to its shareholders. The credit is equal to the dividends that the grantees would have received on the shares had the shares been issued to the grantees in exchange for their granted but unvested RSUs. Accumulated dividend equivalents are paid to grantees in whole shares on an annual basis. Any fractional share will be paid to the participants in cash.
Grants made under the plan are not entitled to any dividend rights, voting rights, or other stockholder rights unless and until RSUs are vested and ADSs are delivered to grantees.
The ADSs to be delivered to grantees will be purchased on the open market by the trustee of the independent trust pursuant to a trust agreement between MUFG Americas Holdings and the trustee. As of June 30, 2020, 108,220,888 RSUs have been granted under the plan, of which 43,554,160 RSUs were outstanding as of June 30, 2020.
For more information on the plan, see “Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.”

C. | Board Practices |
Our articles of incorporation provide for a board of directors with statutorily mandated nominating and governance committee, audit committee and compensation committee, each consisting of members of the board of directors. We have also elected, though not statutorily mandated under the Companies Act of Japan, to establish a risk committee consisting of directors and external experts. In May 2016, we established a U.S. risk committee pursuant to the U.S. Enhanced Prudential Standards for foreign banking organizations. Our corporate executives are responsible for executing and managing our business operations based on a delegation of authority by the board of directors, and our directors set our key management policies and oversee the execution of duties by these corporate executives.
In June 2015, our shareholders approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation to adopt our current governance framework with a board of directors and board committees. We previously had a governance framework with a board of directors and a board of corporate auditors. The Companies Act permits three types of governance system for large companies such as MUFG: (1) a company with a nominating committee, an audit committee and a compensation committee, (2) a company with a board of corporate auditors, and (3) a company with an audit and supervisory committee. Our previous governance framework was based on the second system, and our newly adopted governance system is based on the first system.
With respect to companies adopting the first system, including MUFG, each of the nominating, audit and compensation committees must consist of members of the board of directors, and the majority of each committee must be outside directors as defined by the Companies Act. In addition, the board of directors must appoint corporate executives () to execute and manage the business operations of the company under the
shikkoyaku
157
authority delegated by the board of directors. Based on this system, our current governance framework is designed to facilitate more flexible and swifter decision-making and increase transparency in our management processes.
An “outside director” is defined by the Companies Act as a person who meets all of the following conditions:
• | the person is not currently, and has not been in the ten years prior to his or her assumption of office as outside director, an executive director, who is a director concurrently performing an executive role ( gyomu shikko torishimariyaku shihainin |
• | if the person has been a non-executive director, a corporate auditor, or an accounting adviser (kaikei sanyo |
• | the person is not a director, a corporate executive officer, a manager or any other type of employee of the company’s parent company, or a person who controls the company; |
• | the person is not an executive director, a corporate executive officer, a manager or any other type of employee of another subsidiary of the company’s parent company; and |
• | the person is not the spouse or a family member within the second degree of kinship of a director, a corporate executive, a manager, or any other type of important employee of the company or a person who controls the company. |
Board of Directors
Our board of directors consists of directors who are elected at a general meeting of shareholders. Under our articles of incorporation, the number of directors may not exceed 20. We currently have 16 directors, nine of whom are outside directors and two of whom are internal
non-executive
directors.The regular term of office of a director is one year from the date of election, and directors may serve their terms until the close of the annual general meeting of shareholders held for the following year after their election. Directors may serve any number of consecutive terms.
Under the Companies Act, the board of directors has the authority to determine our basic management policy, make decisions on the execution and management of our business operations, and oversee the execution by the corporate executives of their duties. The board of directors may delegate, to the extent permitted by the Companies Act, the authority to make decisions on the execution and management of our business operations. Our board of directors has delegated most of this authority to the corporate executives.
The board of directors elects the Chairman and the Deputy Chairman from among its members and appoints key management members based on recommendations submitted to it by the nominating committee.
Under the Companies Act, a resolution of the board of directors is required if any director wishes to engage in any business that is in competition with us or any transaction with us. Additionally, no director may vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which that director is deemed to be particularly interested.
Neither the Companies Act nor our articles of incorporation contain special provisions as to the borrowing power exercisable by a director, the retirement age of our directors, or a requirement of our directors to hold any shares of our capital stock.
158
Under the Companies Act and our articles of incorporation, we may exempt, by resolution of the board of directors, our directors from liabilities to MUFG arising in connection with their failure to execute their duties in good faith and without gross negligence within the limits stipulated by applicable laws and regulations. In addition, we have entered into a liability limitation agreement with each outside director and
non-executive
director which limits the maximum amount of their liability to MUFG arising in connection with a failure to execute their duties in good faith and without gross negligence to the greater of either ¥10 million or the aggregate sum of the amounts prescribed in Paragraph 1 of Article 425 of the Companies Act and Articles 113 and 114 of the Companies Act Enforcement Regulations.None of our directors is party to a service contract with MUFG or any of its subsidiaries that provides for benefits upon end of their director term.
Nominating Committee
Our nominating committee, which we call the nominating and governance committee, determines the contents of proposals regarding the election and removal of director candidates to be submitted to general meetings of shareholders. The committee also considers and makes recommendations to the board of directors regarding the appointment and removal of the Chairman and the Deputy Chairman of the board of directors and the President & Group CEO of MUFG as well as the chairman and the deputy chairman of the board of directors, the president and others of each of our major subsidiaries. In addition, the committee discusses and makes recommendations to the board of directors on matters pertaining to our governance policy and framework.
Under the Companies Act, the nominating committee must consist of at least three directors, and the majority of its members must be outside directors. Our nominating and governance committee currently consists of five directors. The chairman of the committee is Hirofumi Nomoto, an outside director. The other members of this committee are Mariko Fujii, Kaoru Kato and Haruka Matsuyama, who are outside directors, and Hironori Kamezawa, Director, President & Group CEO. Between April 2019 and March 2020, the nominating and governance committee met 14 times.
Audit Committee
The audit committee determines the contents of proposals pertaining to the election, termination and
non-appointment
of our independent auditor to be submitted to general meetings of shareholders. The committee also monitors and audits the execution by the directors and the corporate executives of their duties and prepares audit reports to the board of directors. In order to effectively perform its duties, the committee reviews, inspects and investigates, as necessary, the management of the operations of MUFG and its subsidiaries, including financial reporting and internal controls. In addition, the committee has the power to consent to decisions on the compensation to be paid to our independent auditor.Under the Companies Act, the audit committee must consist of at least three
non-executive
directors, and the majority of its members must be outside directors. Our committee currently has five members. The chairman of the committee is Akira Yamate, an outside director. The other members of the committee are Kaoru Kato and Yasushi Shingai, who are outside directors, and Junichi Okamoto and Ritsuo Ogura, who arenon-executive
directors. Between April 2019 and March 2020, the audit committee met 16 times.Compensation Committee
The compensation committee establishes our policy regarding the determination of the compensation of MUFG’s directors, corporate executives, executive officers () and others and also determines the details of individual compensation based on the policy. The committee discusses and makes recommendations to the board of directors regarding the establishment, revision and abolition of compensation systems for the chairman, the deputy chairman, the president and others of each of our major subsidiaries.

159
Under the Companies Act, the compensation committee must consist of at least three directors, and the majority of its members must be outside directors.

Risk Committee
In addition to the foregoing three committees, which are mandated by the Companies Act, we have a risk committee, which was initially established under our previous governance framework and which we continue to have under our current governance framework on a voluntary basis. The risk committee deliberates and makes recommendations to the board of directors on matters regarding group-wide risk management as well as top risk matters.
MUFG Corporate Governance Policies provide that the committee shall consist of directors and external experts. External experts are professionals with no prior employment relationship with any of the MUFG group companies. The committee currently has eight members. The chairperson of the committee is Mariko Fujii, an outside director. The other members of this committee are Toby S. Myerson, Yasushi Shingai and Tarisa Watanagase, who are outside directors, Naomi Hayashi, Managing Corporate Executive and Group CSO, and Shinichi Koide, Atsushi Miyanoya and Kazuhiko Ohashi, who are external experts. Between April 2019 and March 2020, the risk committee met four times.
U.S. Risk Committee
The U.S. risk committee oversees the risk management function for our combined U.S. operations. Its oversight role includes, but is not limited to, all roles and responsibilities required under the FRB’s final rules for Enhanced Prudential Standards for foreign banking organizations. The committee monitors liquidity and all other types of risk exposures, reviews the risk management policies and procedures, and oversees compliance with such policies and procedures for our combined U.S. operations.

Corporate Executives
Our corporate executives are responsible for executing and managing our business operations within the scope of the authority delegated to them by the board of directors.
Under the Companies Act, at least one corporate executive must be appointed by a resolution of the board of directors. We currently have 20 corporate executives. Under our articles of incorporation, the board of directors shall appoint a president and a deputy president, who, as representative corporate executives, may represent us
160
severally. The term of office of each corporate executive expires at the conclusion of the first meeting of the board of directors convened after the ordinary general meeting of shareholders for the last fiscal year that ends within one year following the corporate executive’s assumption of office.
Under the Companies Act, a resolution of the board of directors is required if any corporate executive wishes to engage in any business that is in competition with us or any transaction with us.
Under the Companies Act and our articles of incorporation, we may exempt, by resolution of the board of directors, our corporate executives from liabilities to MUFG arising in connection with their failure to execute their duties in good faith and without gross negligence within the limits stipulated by applicable laws and regulations. We, however, currently have no such arrangements with any of our corporate executives.
D. | Employees |
As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately 133,200 employees, an increase of approximately 20,500 employees compared with the number of employees as of March 31, 2019 primarily due to Bank Danamon becoming a consolidated subsidiary in April 2019.

We also have two representatives appointed to Morgan Stanley’s board of directors. We adopted the equity method of accounting for our investment in Morgan Stanley beginning with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. In April 2018, we entered into a sales plan with Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, pursuant to which we will sell portions of the shares of Morgan Stanley common stock that we hold to Morgan Stanley through Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acting as agent for Morgan Stanley to the extent necessary to ensure that our beneficial ownership will remain below 24. 9%.

We and our banking subsidiaries had, and expect to have in the future, banking transactions and other transactions in the ordinary course of business with our related parties. Although for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, such transactions included, but were not limited to, call money, loans, electronic data processing, leases and management of properties, those transactions were immaterial and were made at prevailing market rates, terms and conditions and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
None of our directors or corporate executives, nor any of the close members of their respective families, has had any transactions or has any presently proposed transactions that are material or any transactions that are unusual in their nature or conditions, involving goods, services or tangible or intangible assets, to which we were, are or will be a party.

For more information, see “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Operational Risk—We may become subject to regulatory actions or other legal proceedings relating to our transactions or other aspects of our operations, which could result in significant financial losses, restrictions on our operations and damage to our reputation.” and Note 26 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Distributions

year-end
dividend for our shareholders’ approval at the ordinary general meeting of shareholders customarily held in June of each year. Theyear-end
dividend is usually distributed immediately following shareholders’ approval to holders of record at the end of the preceding fiscal year. In addition toyear-end
dividends, we may make cash distributions by way of interim dividends to shareholders of record as of September 30 of each year as distribution of surplus by resolution of our board of directors.Year-end
dividends in the amount of ¥12.5 per share of our common stock (in addition to interim dividends of ¥12.5 per share of our common stock) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 were approved by shareholders at the ordinary general meeting of shareholders held on June 29, 2020.164

D. | Exchange Controls |
Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law
The Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law of Japan and the cabinet orders and ministerial ordinances incidental thereto, collectively known as the Foreign Exchange Law, set forth, among other matters, regulations relating to the receipt by
non-residents
of Japan of payment with respect to shares to be issued by us and the acquisition and holding of shares bynon-residents
of Japan and foreign investors, both as defined below. It also applies in some cases to the acquisition and holding of ADSs representing such shares acquired and held bynon-residents
of Japan and foreign investors.“Non-residents
of Japan” are defined as individuals who are not resident in Japan and corporations whose principal offices are located outside Japan. Generally, the branches and offices ofnon-resident
corporations which are located in Japan are regarded as residents of Japan while the branches and offices of Japanese corporations located outside Japan are regarded asnon-residents
of Japan.166
“Foreign investors” are defined as:
• | natural persons who are non-resident of Japan; |
• | corporations which are organized under the laws of foreign countries or whose principal offices are located outside Japan; |
• | corporations of which 50% or more of the shares are directly or indirectly held by individuals not resident of Japan and corporations which are organized under the laws of foreign countries or whose principal offices are located outside Japan; |
• | (A) partnerships 50% or more of whose contributions are made by (1) natural persons who are non-residents of Japan, (2) corporations which are organized under the laws of foreign countries or whose principal offices are located outside Japan, (3) corporations of which 50% or more of the shares are directly or indirectly held by individuals not resident of Japan and corporations which are organized under the laws of foreign countries or whose principal offices are located outside Japan, (4) corporations, a majority of the officers (or a majority of the officers having the power to represent the corporation) of which arenon-resident individuals, or (5) other partnerships a majority of whose operating partners fall under any of (1) through (4), or (B) partnerships a majority of whose operating partners are (i) any of (1) through (5) above, (ii) other partnerships 50% or more of whose contributions are made bynon-residents of Japan or partnerships that are any of (1) through (5) above, or (iii) certain limited liability partnerships under the Limited Liability Partnership Act; and |
• | corporations, a majority of officers (or a majority of officers having the power of representation) of which are non-resident individuals. |
Dividends and Proceeds of Sales
Under the Foreign Exchange Law, dividends paid on, and the proceeds of sales in Japan of, shares held by
non-residents
of Japan may in general be converted into any foreign currency and repatriated abroad. The acquisition of our shares bynon-residents
of Japan by way of a stock split is not subject to any notification or reporting requirements.Acquisition of Shares
In general, a
non-resident
of Japan who acquires shares from a resident of Japan is not subject to any prior filing requirement, although the Foreign Exchange Law empowers the Minister of Finance of Japan to require a prior approval for any such acquisition in certain limited circumstances.If a foreign investor acquires our shares, and, together with parties who have a special relationship with that foreign investor, holds ten percent or more of our issued shares as a result of such acquisition, the foreign investor must file a report of such acquisition with the Minister of Finance and any other competent Minister within 45 days from such acquisition. Further, an amendment to the Foreign Exchange Law which took effect on May 8, 2020, introduced a similar reporting requirement where a foreign investor acquires the right to instruct voting on shares through acquisition of ADSs or otherwise and holds, together with parties who have a special relationship with that foreign investor, the right to instruct voting on shares representing ten percent or more of the voting rights in us. In certain limited circumstances, however, a prior notification of such acquisition must be filed with the Minister of Finance and any other competent Minister, who may modify or prohibit the proposed acquisition.
Deposit and Withdrawal under American Depositary Facility
The deposit of shares with us, in our capacity as custodian and agent for the depositary, in Tokyo, the issuance of ADSs by the depositary to a
non-resident
of Japan in respect of the deposit and the withdrawal of the167
underlying shares upon the surrender of the ADSs are not subject to any of the formalities or restrictions referred to above. However, where as a result of a deposit or withdrawal the aggregate number of shares held by the depositary, including shares deposited with us as custodian for the depositary, or the holder surrendering ADSs, as the case may be, would be 10% or more of the total outstanding shares, a report will be required, and in specified circumstances, a prior notification may be required, as noted above.
Reporting of Substantial Shareholdings
The Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan requires any person who has become, beneficially and solely or jointly, a holder of more than 5% of the total issued shares of capital stock of a company listed on any Japanese financial instruments exchange or whose shares are traded on the
over-the-counter
market in Japan to file with the director of a competent finance bureau within five business days a report concerning such shareholdings.A similar report must also be filed in respect of any subsequent change of 1% or more in any such holding ratio or any change in material matters set out in reports previously filed, with certain exceptions. For this purpose, shares issuable to such person upon exchange of exchangeable securities, conversion of convertible securities or exercise of share subscription warrants or stock acquisition rights (including those incorporated in bonds with stock acquisition rights) are taken into account in determining both the number of shares held by such holder and the issuer’s total issued shares of capital stock.
E. | Taxation |
Japanese Taxation
The following sets forth the material Japanese tax consequences to owners of shares of our common stock or ADSs who are
non-resident
individuals ornon-Japanese
corporations without a permanent establishment in Japan to which the relevant income is attributable, which we refer to as“non-resident
holders” in this section. The statements regarding Japanese tax laws below are based on the laws in force and as interpreted by the Japanese taxation authorities as at the date of this Annual Report and are subject to changes in the applicable Japanese laws, double taxation treaties, conventions or agreements or interpretations thereof occurring after that date. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations that may apply to a particular investor, and potential investors are advised to satisfy themselves as to the overall tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock or ADSs, including specifically the tax consequences under Japanese law, the laws of the jurisdiction of which they are resident and any tax treaty between Japan and their country of residence, by consulting their own tax advisers.For the purpose of Japanese tax law and the Convention between the Government of the United States of America and Japan for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income, or the Tax Convention, a U.S. holder of ADSs will be treated as the owner of the shares of our common stock underlying the ADSs evidenced by the ADRs.
Generally, a
non-resident
holder of shares of our common stock or ADSs is subject to Japanese withholding tax on dividends paid by us. In the absence of any applicable tax treaty, convention or agreement reducing the rate of withholding tax, the rate of Japanese withholding tax applicable to dividends paid by us tonon-resident
holders is (i) 15.315% for dividends to be paid on or before December 31, 2037 and (ii) 15% for dividends to be paid thereafter, except for dividends paid to any individualnon-resident
holder who holds 3% or more of our issued shares for which the applicable rate is (a) 20.42% for dividends to be paid on or before December 31, 2037 and (b) 20% for dividends to be paid thereafter, pursuant to Japanese tax law.The Tax Convention establishes the maximum rate of Japanese withholding tax which may be imposed on dividends paid to a U.S. resident not having a permanent establishment in Japan. Under the Tax Convention, the
168
maximum withholding rate for U.S. holders (as defined below) is generally set at 10% of the gross amount distributed. However, the maximum rate is 5% of the gross amount distributed if the recipient is a corporation and owns directly or indirectly, on the date on which entitlement to the dividends is determined, at least 10% of the voting shares of the paying corporation. Furthermore, the amount distributed shall not be taxed if the recipient is (i) a pension fund which is a U.S. resident, provided that such dividends are not derived from the carrying on of a business, directly or indirectly, by such pension fund or (ii) a company with a 50% or more interest in the paying company and satisfies certain other requirements. U.S. holders (as defined below) are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to their eligibility for benefits under the Tax Convention.
Japanese tax law provides in general that if the Japanese statutory rate is lower than the maximum rate applicable under tax treaties, conventions or agreements, the Japanese statutory rate as stated above shall be applicable.
Non-resident
holders of shares who are entitled to a reduced rate of Japanese withholding tax on payments of dividends on the shares of our common stock or ADSs by us are required to submit an Application Form for the Income Tax Convention regarding Relief from Japanese Income Tax on Dividends, or an Application Form for the Income Tax Convention, in advance through a paying handling agent to the relevant tax authority before the payment of dividends. A standing proxy fornon-resident
holders may provide this application service for thenon-resident
holders. In this regard, a certain simplified special filing procedure is available fornon-resident
holders to claim treaty benefits of exemption from or reduction of Japanese withholding tax with respect to dividends to be paid on or after January 1, 2014, by submitting a Special Application Form for Income Tax Convention regarding Relief from Japanese Income Tax and Special Income Tax for Reconstruction on Dividends of Listed Stocks (together with any other required forms and documents). With respect to ADSs, this reduced rate or exemption will be applicable tonon-resident
holders of ADSs if the depositary or its agent submits two Application Forms (one before payment of dividends and the other within eight months after the record date concerning such payment of dividends), together with certain other documents. To claim this reduced rate or exemption,non-resident
holders of ADSs will be required to file a proof of taxpayer status, residence and beneficial ownership, as applicable, and to provide other information or documents as may be required by the depositary.Non-resident
holders who are entitled, under any applicable tax treaty, to a reduced rate of Japanese withholding tax below the rate otherwise applicable under Japanese tax law, or exemption therefrom, as the case may be, but fail to submit the required application in advance may nevertheless be entitled to claim a refund from the relevant Japanese tax authority of withholding taxes withheld in excess of the rate under an applicable tax treaty (if suchnon-resident
holders are entitled to a reduced treaty rate under the applicable tax treaty) or the full amount of tax withheld (if suchnon-resident
holders are entitled to an exemption under the applicable tax treaty), as the case may be, by complying with a certain subsequent filing procedure. We do not assume any responsibility to ensure withholding at the reduced rate, or an exemption therefrom, fornon-resident
holders who would be so eligible under an applicable tax treaty but where the required procedures as stated above are not followed.Gains derived from the sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock or ADSs by a
non-resident
holder are not, in general, subject to Japanese income or corporation taxes or other Japanese taxes.Any deposits or withdrawals of shares of our common stock by a
non-resident
holder in exchange for ADSs are not subject to Japanese income or corporation tax.Japanese inheritance and gift taxes, at progressive rates, may be payable by an individual who has acquired shares of our common stock or ADSs as legatee, heir or donee, even if none of the individual, the decedent or the donor is a Japanese resident.
U.S. Taxation
The following sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership of shares and ADSs by a U.S. holder, as defined below. This summary is based on U.S. federal income tax laws, including the
169
U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed Treasury regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, and the Tax Convention (as defined above), all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.
The following summary is not a complete analysis or description of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences to a particular U.S. holder. It does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to all categories of potential purchasers, certain of which (such as banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, dealers in securities,
tax-exempt
entities,non-U.S.
persons, persons holding a share or an ADS as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” conversion or integrated transaction, holders whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar, holders liable for alternative minimum tax, holders required to report income no later than when such income is reported on an “applicable financial statement,” and holders of 10% or more of our shares by vote or value) are subject to special tax treatment. This summary does not address any foreign, state, local or other tax consequences of investments in our shares or ADSs.This summary addresses only shares or ADSs that are held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.
As used herein, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of shares or ADSs, as the case may be, that is:
• | a citizen or resident of the United States as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes; |
• | a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; |
• | an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or |
• | a trust |
• | the administration of which is subject to (1) the supervision of a court within the United States and (2) the control of one or more U.S. persons as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code; or |
• | that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. |
If a partnership holds shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding shares or ADSs, you should consult your tax advisor.
We urge U.S. holders to consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state and local and other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares or ADSs.
This summary is based in part on the assumption that each obligation under the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its respective terms. Subject to the discussion in the next paragraph, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders of ADSs will be treated as the owners of the shares represented by the ADSs. Accordingly, withdrawals or deposits of shares in exchange for ADSs generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that intermediaries in the chain of ownership between the holder of an ADS and the issuer of the security underlying the ADS may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the beneficial ownership of the underlying shares (for example,
pre-releasing
ADSs to persons who do not have beneficial ownership of the securities underlying the ADSs). Accordingly, the discussion on the creditability of Japanese taxes and the availability of the reduced rate of tax for dividends received by certainnon-corporate
U.S. holders, each as described below, could be affected by actions taken by intermediaries in the chain of ownership between the holder of ADSs and us if, as a result of such actions, the holders of ADSs are not properly treated as beneficial owners of the underlying shares. We are not aware of any intention to take any such actions, and accordingly, the remainder of this discussion assumes that holders of ADSs will be properly treated as beneficial owners of the underlying shares.170
Special adverse U.S. federal income tax rules apply if a U.S. holder holds shares or ADSs of a company that is treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) for any taxable year during which the U.S. holder held shares or ADSs, as discussed in more detail below. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the potential application of the PFIC rules to their ownership and disposition of shares or ADSs.
Taxation of Dividends
Subject to the application of the PFIC rules discussed below, U.S. holders will include the gross amount of any distribution received with respect to shares or ADSs (before reduction for Japanese withholding taxes), to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), as ordinary income in their gross income. As discussed below, for certain U.S. holders, dividends may be eligible for a reduced rate of taxation. The amount of distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of the distribution. Dividends received by a U.S. holder will not be eligible for the “dividends-received deduction” allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. To the extent that an amount received by a U.S. holder exceeds such holder’s allocable share of our current earnings and profits, such excess will be applied first to reduce such holder’s tax basis in its shares or ADSs, thereby increasing the amount of gain or decreasing the amount of loss recognized on a subsequent disposition of the shares or ADSs. Then, to the extent such distribution exceeds such U.S. holder’s tax basis, such excess will be treated as capital gain. However, we do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and U.S. holders should therefore assume that any distribution by us with respect to shares or ADSs will constitute ordinary dividend income. The amount of the dividend will be the U.S. dollar value of the Japanese yen payments received. This value will be determined at the spot Japanese yen/U.S. dollar rate on the date the dividend is received by the depositary in the case of U.S. holders of ADSs, or by the shareholder in the case of U.S. holders of shares, regardless of whether the dividend payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the Japanese yen received as a dividend are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. holder will have basis in such Japanese yen equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt, and any foreign currency gains or losses resulting from the conversion of the Japanese yen will generally be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss. If the Japanese yen received as a dividend are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. holder will generally not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income.
If a U.S. holder is eligible for benefits under the Tax Convention, the holder may be able to claim a reduced rate of Japanese withholding tax. All U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors about their eligibility for reduction of Japanese withholding tax. A U.S. holder may claim a deduction or a foreign tax credit, subject to other applicable limitations, only for tax withheld at the appropriate rate. A U.S. holder would be allowed a foreign tax credit for withholding tax for any portion of the tax that could have been avoided by claiming benefits under the Tax Convention. For foreign tax credit limitation purposes, the dividend will be income from sources outside the United States. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends we pay will constitute “passive income” or, in the case of certain U.S. holders, “financial services income.” The rules governing U.S. foreign tax credits are very complex and U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits under their particular circumstances.
Subject to applicable exceptions with respect to short-term and hedged positions, qualified dividends received by
non-corporate
U.S. holders from a qualified corporation may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation. Qualified corporations include those foreign corporations eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that the U.S. Treasury Department determines to be satisfactory for these purposes and that includes an exchange of information provision. The Tax Convention meets these requirements. Subject to the PFIC discussion below, we believe that we are a qualified foreign corporation and that dividends received by U.S. investors with respect to our shares or ADSs will be qualified dividends. Dividends received by U.S. investors from a foreign corporation that was a PFIC in either the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year are not qualified dividends.171
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
Special adverse U.S. federal income tax rules apply if a U.S. holder holds shares or ADSs of a company that is treated as a PFIC, for any taxable year during which the U.S. holder held shares or ADSs. A foreign corporation will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income (the “income test”), or (ii) 50% or more of the average fair market value of its assets (determined quarterly) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income (the “asset test”). For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents and certain gains from the sale of stock and securities. If a foreign corporation owns at least 25% (by value) of the stock of another corporation, the corporation will be treated, for purposes of the PFIC tests, as owning a proportionate share of the other corporation’s assets and receiving its proportionate share of the other corporation’s income. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually.
Proposed Treasury regulations and an earlier IRS notice would convert what would otherwise be passive income into
non-passive
income when such income is banking income earned by an active bank. The proposed Treasury regulations and IRS notice have different requirements for qualifying as an active bank, and for determining the banking income that may be excluded from passive income under this special rule for active banks. Moreover, the proposed Treasury regulations have been outstanding since 1994 and will not be effective unless finalized. Because final regulations have not been issued, the definition of banking income for purposes of the active bank exception is unclear under both the proposed Treasury regulations and the notice. Based upon certain management estimates and assumptions, we do not believe that we were a PFIC for the year ended March 31, 2020. The determination of whether we are a PFIC must be made annually and involves afact-intensive
analysis based upon, among other things, the composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets from time to time. It is possible that we may become a PFIC in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 or any future taxable year due to changes in our income or asset composition and the expiration of the temporary IRS guidance described above. In addition, a decrease in the price of our shares may also result in our becoming a PFIC. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the above-described proposed Treasury regulations will be finalized in their current form. Moreover, the application of the proposed Treasury regulations is not clear. If we were classified as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. holder owns shares or ADSs and the U.S. holder does not make a“mark-to-market”
election, as discussed below, we generally would continue to be treated as a PFIC as to such U.S. holder in all succeeding years, regardless of whether we continue to meet the income or asset test discussed above. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to them if we were to become a PFIC for any taxable year in which they own our shares or ADSs.If we were classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder holds our shares or ADSs, the U.S. holder would generally not receive capital gains treatment upon the sale of the shares or ADSs and would be subject to increased tax liability (generally including an interest charge) upon the sale or other disposition of the shares or ADSs or upon the receipt of certain distributions treated as “excess distributions,” unless the U.S. holder makes the
mark-to-market
election described below. An excess distribution generally would be any distribution to a U.S. holder with respect to shares or ADSs during a single taxable year that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by a U.S. holder with respect to shares or ADSs during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, during the U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares or ADSs.Mark-to-Market Election
mark-to-market
election. After making such an election, the U.S. holder generally would include as ordinary income each year during which the election is in effect and during which we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our shares or ADSs at the end of the taxable year over such holder’s adjusted basis in such shares or ADSs. These amounts of ordinary income would not be eligible for the favorable tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains. A U.S. holder also would be allowed to take172
an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the holder’s adjusted basis in our shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of income that was previously included as a result of the
mark-to-market
election). A U.S. holder’s tax basis in our shares or ADSs would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss amounts resulting from amark-to-market
election. If made, amark-to-market
election would be effective for the taxable year for which the election was made and for all subsequent taxable years unless the shares or ADSs cease to qualify as “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules or the IRS consented to the revocation of the election. In the event that we are classified as a PFIC, U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of themark-to-market
election, and whether the election would be advisable in the holder’s particular circumstances.QEF Election
Notwithstanding any election made with respect to our shares, dividends received with respect to our shares will not constitute “qualified dividend income” if we are a PFIC in either the year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year. Dividends that do not constitute qualified dividend income are not eligible for taxation at the reduced tax rate described above in “—Taxation of Dividends.” Instead, such dividends would be subject to tax at ordinary income rates.
If a U.S. holder owns shares or ADSs during any year in which we are a PFIC, the U.S. holder must also file IRS Form 8621 regarding distributions received on the shares or ADSs, any gain realized on the shares or ADSs, and any “reportable election” in accordance with the instructions to such form. In addition, each U.S. holder is required to file a separate IRS Form 8621 if such U.S. holder owns shares or ADSs during any year in which we are a PFIC whether or not such U.S. holder received distributions on the shares or ADSs, realized a gain on the shares or ADSs or made a “reportable election” during such year. U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding shares or ADSs if the Company were considered a PFIC in any taxable year.
Taxation of Capital Gains
Subject to the application of the PFIC rules discussed above, upon a sale or other disposition of shares or ADSs, a U.S. holder will recognize a gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized and the U.S. holder’s tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in such shares or ADSs. Such gains or losses will be capital gains or losses and will be long-term capital gains or losses if the U.S. holder’s holding period for such shares or ADSs exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains of
non-corporate
U.S. holders (including individuals) are generally eligible for reduced rates of taxation. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares or ADSs will generally be the cost to the holder of such shares or ADSs. Any such gains or losses realized by a U.S. holder upon disposal of the shares or ADSs will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code.Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Dividends paid on shares or ADSs to a U.S. holder, or proceeds from a U.S. holder’s sale or other disposition of shares or ADSs, may be subject to information reporting requirements. Those dividends or proceeds from sale or disposition may also be subject to backup withholding unless the U.S. holder:
• | is a corporation or other exempt recipient, and, when required, demonstrates this fact; or |
• | provides a correct taxpayer identification number on a properly completed U.S. IRS Form W-9 or other appropriate form which certifies that the U.S. holder is not subject to backup withholding and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. |
173
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under these rules will be creditable against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability or refundable to the extent that it exceeds such liability if the U.S. holder provides the required information to the IRS. If a U.S. holder is required to and does not provide a correct taxpayer identification number, the U.S. holder may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. All holders should consult their tax advisors as to their qualification for the exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining an exemption.
In addition, certain U.S. holders who are individuals that hold certain foreign financial assets (which may include our shares or ADSs) are required to report information relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this requirement on their ownership and disposition of our shares and ADSs.
Additional Tax on Investment Income
U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be subject to an additional 3.8% tax on unearned income, including, among other things, dividends on, and capital gains from the sale or other taxable disposition of, shares or ADSs, subject to certain limitations and exceptions.

I. | Subsidiary Information |
Please refer to the discussion under “Item 4.C. Information on the Company—Organizational Structure.”
Item 11. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk. |
In the current market and regulatory environment, financial groups such as us are expected to ensure increasingly more sophisticated and comprehensive risk management. Risk management plays an increasingly important role in our operations as a financial group operating globally through various subsidiaries.
We identify various risks arising from businesses based on group-wide uniform criteria and implement integrated risk management to ensure a stronger financial condition and to maximize shareholder value. Based on this approach, we identify, measure, control and monitor a wide variety of risks so as to achieve a stable balance between earnings and risks. We undertake risk management to create an appropriate capital structure and to achieve optimal allocation of resources. However, our risk management measures may not be fully effective in identifying all risks or mitigating the impact of any materialized risk on us.
174
Risk Classification
At the holding company level, we broadly classify and define risk categories faced by the Group, including those that are summarized below. Group companies perform more detailed risk management based on their respective operations.
Type of Risk | Definition | |
Credit Risk | The risk of financial loss in credit assets (including off-balance sheet instruments) caused by deterioration in the credit conditions of counterparties. This category includes country risk. | |
Market Risk | The risk of financial loss where the value of our assets and liabilities could be adversely affected by changes in market variables such as interest rates, securities prices and foreign exchange rates. Market liquidity risk is the risk of financial loss caused by the inability to secure market transactions at the required volume or price levels as a result of market turbulence or lack of trading liquidity. | |
Funding Liquidity Risk | The risk of incurring loss if a poor financial position at a group company hampers the ability to meet funding requirements or necessitates fund procurement at interest rates markedly higher than normal. | |
Operational Risk | The risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or from external events. | |
• Operations Risk | The risk of incurring losses arising from negligence of correct operational processing, incidents or misconduct involving officers or staff, as well as risks similar to this risk. | |
• Information Risk | The risk of loss caused by loss, alteration, falsification or leakage of personal or other confidential information, as well as risks similar to these risks. | |
• IT Risk | The risk of loss arising from destruction, suspension, malfunction or misuse of IT, or unauthorized alteration and leakage of electronic data caused by insufficient IT systems planning, development or operations or by vulnerabilities of or external threats to IT system security, including cybersecurity, as well as risks similar to these risks. | |
• Tangible Asset Risk | The risk of loss due to damage to tangible assets or deterioration in the operational environment caused by disasters or inadequate asset maintenance, as well as risks similar to this risk. Tangible assets include movable and immovable property, including owned or leased land and buildings, facilities incidental to buildings, and fixtures and fittings. | |
• Personnel Risk | The risk of loss due to an outflow or loss of human resources or deterioration in employee morale, as well as risks similar to this risk. | |
• Incompliance with Laws and Regulations Risk | The risk of loss due to failure to comply with laws and regulations, as well as risks similar to these risks. | |
• Legal Risk | The risk of a loss due to failure to identify or address legal issues relating to contracts and other business operations or insufficient handling of lawsuits, as well as risks similar to these risks. | |
Reputation Risk | The risk of harm to our corporate value arising from perceptions of our customers, shareholders, investors or other stakeholders and in the market or society that we deviate from their expectations or confidence. | |
Model Risk | The risk of loss due to decision-making based on information provided by an inaccurate model or the misuse of a model. |
175
Risk Management System
We have adopted an integrated risk management system to promote close cooperation among the holding company and group companies. The holding company and the major subsidiaries (which are MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings) each appoint a chief risk officer and establish an independent risk management division. The board of directors of the holding company determines risk management policies for various types of risks based on the discussions at, and reports and recommendations from, committees established specially for risk management purposes. The holding company has established committees to oversee management in managing risks relevant to the Group. Following the fundamental risk management policies determined by the board of directors, each group company establishes its own systems and procedures for identifying, analyzing and managing various types of risks from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. The holding company seeks to enhance group-wide risk identification, to integrate and improve the Group’s risk management system and related methods, to maintain asset quality, and to eliminate concentrations of specific risks.
The following diagram summarizes our integrated risk management framework:
Risk Management System
176
Crisis Management Framework
In order to have a clear critical response rationale and associated decision-making criteria, we have developed systems designed to ensure that our operations are not interrupted or can be restored to normal quickly in the event of a crisis such as a natural disaster, a pandemic of an infectious diseases or system failure so as to minimize any disruption to customers and markets. A crisis management team within the holding company is the central coordinating body in the event of any emergency. Based on information collected from crisis management personnel at the major subsidiaries, this central body would assess the overall impact of a crisis on the Group’s business and establish task forces that could implement all countermeasures to restore full operations. We have business continuity plans to maintain continuous operational viability in the event of natural disasters, system failures and other types of emergencies. Regular training drills are conducted to upgrade the practical effectiveness of these systems. In addition, in an effort to effectively deal with the
COVID-19
pandemic, we have established a Group Crisis Event Control Headquarter to deliberate, formulate and implement basic policies and countermeasures designed to ensure that our business operations are properly maintained and we remain well positioned to respond to the needs of our customers.Recognizing that our operations, particularly in Japan, are subject to the risk of earthquakes and other natural disasters as well as accidents resulting from such disasters, including a sudden massive blackout in major metropolitan areas in Japan, and that our contingency plans may not address all eventualities that may occur in the event of a material disruption to our operations, we conduct a comprehensive review of our existing business continuity plan to more effectively respond to such extreme scenarios, and contemplate and implement measures to augment our current business continuity management framework, including enhancing our
off-site
back-up
data storage and other information technology systems.Implementation of Basel Standards
In determining capital ratios under the FSA guidelines implementing Basel III, we and our major banking subsidiaries used the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based approach, or the AIRB approach, to calculate capital requirements for credit risk as of March 31, 2020. The Standardized Approach is used for some subsidiaries that are considered to be immaterial to the overall MUFG capital requirements, and MUFG Americas Holdings has adopted a phased rollout of the Internal Ratings-Based Approach. We reflect market risk in our risk-weighted assets by applying the Internal Models Approach to calculate general market risk and the Standardized Measurement Method to calculate specific risk. Under the Internal Models Approach, we principally use a historical simulation model to calculate
value-at-risk,
or VaR, amounts by estimating the profit and loss on our portfolio by applying actual fluctuations in historical market rates and prices over a fixed period. Under the FSA guidelines implementing Basel III, we reflect operational risk in our risk-weighted assets by using the Standardized Approach and the Advanced Measurement Approach.Based on the Basel III framework, the Japanese capital ratio framework has been revised to implement the more stringent requirements, which are being implemented in phases beginning on March 31, 2013. Likewise, local banking regulators outside of Japan, such as those in the United States, have begun, or are expected, to revise the capital and liquidity requirements imposed on our subsidiaries and operations in those countries to implement the more stringent requirements of Basel III as adopted in those countries. We intend to carefully monitor further developments with an aim to enhance our corporate value and maximize shareholder value by integrating the various strengths within the Group. For more information on the Basel regulatory framework and requirements, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation.”
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is the risk of losses due to deterioration in the financial condition of a borrower. We have established risk management systems to maintain asset quality, manage credit risk exposure and achieve earnings commensurate with risk.
177
MUFG and its major banking subsidiaries apply a uniform credit rating system for asset evaluation and assessment, loan pricing, and quantitative measurement of credit risk. This system also underpins the calculation of capital requirements and the management of credit portfolios. We continually seek to upgrade our credit portfolio management, or CPM, expertise to achieve an improved risk-adjusted return based on the Group’s credit portfolio status and flexible response capability to economic and other external changes.
Credit Risk Management System
The credit portfolios of our major banking subsidiaries (which are MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking) are monitored and assessed on a regular basis by the holding company to maintain and improve asset quality. A uniform credit rating and asset evaluation and assessment system is used to ensure timely and proper evaluation of all credit risks. Under our credit risk management system, each of our subsidiaries in the banking, securities, consumer finance, and leasing businesses, manages its respective credit risk on a consolidated basis based on the attributes of the risk, while the holding company oversees and manages credit risk on an overall group-wide basis. The holding company also convenes regular committee meetings to monitor credit risk management at banking subsidiaries and to issue guidance where necessary.
Each major banking subsidiary has in place a system of checks and balances in which a credit administration section that is independent of the business promotion sections screens individual transactions and manages the extension of credit. At the management level, regular meetings of the Credit & Investment Management Committee and related deliberative bodies ensure full discussion of important matters related to credit risk management. Besides such checks and balances and internal oversight systems, credit examination sections also undertake credit testing and evaluation to ensure appropriate credit risk management.
The following diagram summarizes the credit risk management framework for our major banking subsidiaries:
Credit Rating System
MUFG and its major banking subsidiaries use an integrated credit rating system to evaluate credit risk. The credit rating system consists primarily of borrower rating, facility risk rating, structured finance rating and asset securitization rating.
Country risk is also rated on a uniform group-wide basis. Our country risk rating is reviewed periodically to take into account relevant political and economic factors, including foreign currency availability.
Risk exposure for small retail loans, such as residential mortgage loans, is managed by grouping loans into various pools and assigning ratings at the pool level.
178
Borrower rating
Our borrower rating classifies borrowers into 15 grades based on evaluations of their expected debt-service capability over the next three to five years.
The following table sets forth our borrower grades:
Definition of MUFG Borrower Rating
MUFG Borrower Rating | MUFG Borrower Rating Definition | ||||||
1 | The capacity to meet financial commitments is extremely certain, and the borrower has the highest level of creditworthiness. | ||||||
2 | The capacity to meet financial commitments is highly certain, but there are some elements that may result in lower creditworthiness in the future. | ||||||
3 | The capacity to meet financial commitments is sufficiently certain, but there is the possibility that creditworthiness may fall in the long run. | ||||||
4 | There are no problems concerning the capacity to meet financial commitments, but there is the possibility that creditworthiness may fall in the long run. | ||||||
5 | There are no problems concerning the capacity to meet financial commitments, and creditworthiness is in the middle range. | ||||||
6 | There are no problems concerning the capacity to meet financial commitments presently, but there are elements that require attention if the situation changes. | ||||||
7 | There are no problems concerning the capacity to meet financial commitments presently, but long-term stability is poor. | ||||||
8 | There are no problems concerning the capacity to meet financial commitments presently, but long-term stability is poor, and creditworthiness is relatively low. | ||||||
9 | The capacity to meet financial commitments is somewhat poor, and creditworthiness is the lowest among “Normal” customers. | ||||||
Borrowers who must be closely monitored because of the following business performance and financial conditions: | |||||||
10 through 12 | (1) Borrowers who have problematic business performance, such as virtually delinquent principal repayment or interest payment; | ||||||
(2) Borrowers whose business performance is unsteady, or who have unfavorable financial conditions; | |||||||
(3) Borrowers who have problems with loan conditions and for whom interest rates have been reduced or shelved. | |||||||
10 | Although business problems are not serious or their improvement is seen to be remarkable, there are elements of potential concern with respect to the borrower’s management, and close monitoring is required. | ||||||
11 | Business problems are serious, or require long-term solutions. Serious elements concerning business administration of the borrower have emerged, and subsequent debt repayment needs to be monitored closely. | ||||||
12 | Borrowers who fall under the criteria of Rating 10 or 11 and have a loan concession granted. Borrowers who have “Loans contractually past due 90 days or more.” (As a rule, delinquent borrowers are categorized as “Likely to Become Bankrupt,” but the definition here applies to borrowers delinquent for 90 days or more because of inheritance and other special reasons.) | ||||||
13 | Borrowers who pose a serious risk with respect to debt repayment and with whom loss is likely to occur in the course of transactions. While still not bankrupt, these borrowers are in financial difficulty, with poor progress in achieving restructuring plans, and are likely to become bankrupt in the future. | ||||||
14 | While not legally bankrupt, borrowers who are considered to be virtually bankrupt because they are in serious financial difficulty and have no prospects for an improvement in their business operations. | ||||||
15 | Borrowers who are legally bankrupt (i.e., who have no prospects for continued business operations because of non-payment, suspension of business, voluntary liquidation, or filing for legal liquidation). |
179
Japanese banks were historically required to use the following categories of borrowers under the then applicable FSA inspection manual, which was abolished in December 2019, and are currently expected to use them as a basis for their borrower categorization with appropriate adjustments under the FSA’s discussion paper:
• | Normal borrowers (generally corresponding to borrowers in categories 1 through 9 in our ratings), which are borrowers that are performing well, with no significant financial concerns, |
• | Borrowers requiring close watch (generally corresponding to borrowers in categories 10 through 12 in our ratings), which include loans that have been amended to allow for delays or forgiveness of interest payments, borrowers experiencing difficulty in complying with loan terms and conditions and borrowers that are recording losses or performing badly, |
• | Borrowers likely to become bankrupt (generally corresponding to borrowers in category 13 in our ratings), which relate to borrowers who pose a serious risk with respect to debt repayment and with whom loss is likely to occur in the course of transactions. While still not bankrupt, these borrowers are in financial difficulty, with poor progress in achieving restructuring plans, and are likely to become bankrupt in the future, |
• | Virtually bankrupt borrowers (generally corresponding to borrowers in category 14 in our ratings), which are not legally bankrupt, but borrowers who are considered to be virtually bankrupt because they are in serious financial difficulty and have no prospects for an improvement in their business operations, and |
• | Bankrupt borrowers or de facto bankrupt borrowers (generally corresponding to borrowers in category 15 in our ratings), which are borrowers who are legally bankrupt (i.e., who have no prospects for continued business operations because of non-payment, suspension of business, voluntary liquidation, or filing for legal liquidation proceedings). |
The primary data utilized in our assessment of borrowers include the borrower’s financial statements and notes thereto as well as other public disclosure made by the borrower. In addition, when appropriate and possible, we obtain
non-public
financial and operating information from borrowers, such as the borrower’s business plan, borrower’s self-evaluation of its operating assets and other borrower information about its business and products.Based on the borrower and industry information, we assign borrower ratings mainly by applying financial scoring models—either developed internally or by third-party vendors, depending on the borrower’s attributes, whether the borrower is domestic or foreign, whether the borrower is a large corporation or a small and
medium-sized
corporation, and whether the borrower is a corporate entity or another type of legal entity (such as a school, hospital or fund).For example, for domestic small and
medium-sized
corporations, which constitute the largest borrower attribute in our current loan portfolio in terms of number of borrowers, we have adopted an internally developed financial scoring model, exclusively designed and developed for such attribute. We have selected various financial ratios that we believe to be useful and meaningful to quantitatively measure and assess the borrowers’ financial standing and repayment capability. Such financial ratios represent, among other things, borrowers’ growth, profitability, stability, cash flow, company size and capital efficiency. The model is periodically tested against historical results. The following is an illustration of some of the financial ratios we utilize as part of our financial scoring model:• | To measure growth: Sales growth, and growth in total assets, |
• | To measure profitability: Current profit to sales, and profit before tax to sales, and |
• | To measure stability: Equity ratio and current ratio. |
The financial score obtained through the models is reviewed and, when necessary, adjusted downward to reflect our qualitative assessment of the borrower’s financial strength and other factors that could affect the
180
borrower’s ability to service the debt. For example, we take into account: capability of turning around the business (in case of borrowers with losses) or recovering positive net worth (in case of borrowers with negative net worth), industry risk, management risk, legal risk, as well as our assessment of the probability of receiving support from parent companies (if the borrower is a subsidiary of a large listed company).
When adjusting the results of primary financial scoring assigned to borrowers with losses, we consider the severity of losses and the possibility of improving operating results. We analyze and assess whether the loss is temporary, the trend in operating results is improving, or the loss is expected to continue for an extended period. When adjusting the results of primary financial scoring assigned to borrowers with losses or borrowers with negative net worth, we also analyze whether the borrower can return to a positive net worth, and the time period needed to achieve such recovery (one to two years, three to five years, or five years or more).
In addition, adjustments based on industry risk are based on future prospects, applicable laws and regulations, and other factors surrounding the industry. Adjustments for management risk reflect our assessment of management’s track record, the composition of the management team including the board of directors, any management succession plan as well as the risk management and compliance framework of the borrower. Adjustments for legal risk are made when the borrower is facing a lawsuit and when there is a possibility of a significant claim payment related to product liability, intellectual property, environmental problems, building standard law, and other legal issues.
When assessing the probability of receiving support from parent companies, various factors are examined, such as the parent company’s credit standings, whether key management personnel are sent by the parent, whether the borrower is consolidated by the parent, and the proportion of the borrower in consolidated sales and profits of the parent.
In addition, we consider outside ratings, and our internal borrower ratings may be adjusted when deemed appropriate.
Facility risk rating
Facility risk rating is used to evaluate and classify the quality of individual credit facilities, including guarantees and collateral. Ratings are assigned by quantitatively measuring the estimated loss rate of a facility in the event of a default.
Structured finance rating and asset securitization rating
Structured finance rating and asset securitization rating are used to evaluate and classify the quality of individual credit facilities, including guarantees and collateral, and focus on the structure, including the applicable credit period, of each credit facility. In evaluating the debt service potential of a credit facility, we scrutinize its underlying structure to determine the likelihood of the planned future cash flows being achieved.
Pool assignment
Each major banking subsidiary has its own system for pooling and rating small retail loans designed to reflect the risk profile of its loan portfolios.
Asset evaluation and assessment system
The asset evaluation and assessment system is used to classify assets held by us according to the probability of collection and the risk of any impairment in value based on borrower classifications consistent with the borrower ratings and the status of collateral, guarantees, and other factors.
181
The system is used to conduct write-offs and allocate allowances against credit risk in a timely and adequate manner.
Quantitative Analysis of Credit Risk
MUFG and its major banking subsidiaries manage credit risk by monitoring credit amount and expected losses, and run simulations based on internal models to estimate the maximum amount of credit risk. These models are used for internal management purposes, including loan pricing and measuring economic capital.
When quantifying credit risk amounts using the internal models, MUFG and its major banking subsidiaries consider various parameters, including the probability of default, loss given default, and exposure at default used in their borrower ratings, facility risk ratings and pool assignments as well as any credit concentration risk in particular borrower groups or industry sectors. MUFG and its major banking subsidiaries also share credit portfolio data in appropriate cases.
Loan Portfolio Management
We aim to achieve and maintain levels of earnings commensurate with credit risk exposure. Products are priced to take into account expected losses, based on the internal credit ratings.
We assess and monitor loan amounts and credit exposure by credit rating, industry and region. Portfolios are managed to limit concentrations of risk in specific categories in accordance with our Large Credit Guidelines.
To manage country risk, we have established specific credit ceilings by country. These ceilings are reviewed when there is a material change in a country’s credit standing, in addition to being subject to a regular periodic review.
Continuous CPM Improvement
With the prevalence of securitized products and credit derivatives in global markets, we seek to supplement conventional CPM techniques with advanced methods based on the use of such market-based instruments.
Through credit risk quantification and portfolio management, we aim to improve the risk return profile of the Group’s credit portfolio, using financial markets to rebalance credit portfolios in a dynamic and active manner based on an accurate assessment of credit risk.
Risk Management of Strategic Equity Portfolio
Strategic equity investment risk is the risk of loss caused by a decline in the prices of our equity investments.
We hold shares of various corporate clients for strategic purposes, in particular to maintain long-term relationships with these clients. These investments have the potential to increase business revenue and appreciate in value. At the same time, we are exposed to the risk of price fluctuation in the Japanese stock market. For that reason, in recent years, it has been a high priority for us to reduce our equity portfolio to limit the risks associated with holding a large equity portfolio, but also to respond to applicable regulatory requirements as well as increasing market expectations and demands for us to reduce our equity portfolio. We are required to comply with a regulatory framework that prohibits Japanese banks from holding an amount of shares in excess of their adjusted Tier 1 capital. See “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Investment Portfolio.”
182
We use quantitative analysis to manage the risks associated with the portfolio of equities held for strategic purposes. According to internal calculations, the market value of our strategically held (Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed) stocks (excluding foreign stock exchange-listed stocks) as of March 31, 2020 was subject to a variation of approximately ¥3.0billion when TOPIX index moves one point in either direction.
We seek to manage and reduce strategic equity portfolio risk based on quantitative analysis such as the sensitivity analysis described above. The aim is to keep this risk at appropriate levels compared with Tier 1 capital while generating returns commensurate with the degree of risk exposure.
Market Risk Management
Market risk is the risk that the value of our assets and liabilities could be adversely affected by changes in market variables such as interest rates, securities prices, or foreign exchange rates.
Management of market risk at MUFG aims to control related risk exposure across the Group while ensuring that earnings are commensurate with levels of risk.
Market Risk Management System
We have adopted an integrated system to manage market risk from our trading and
non-trading
activities. The holding company monitors group-wide market risk, while each of the major subsidiaries manages its market risks on a consolidated and global basis.At each of the major subsidiaries, checks and balances are maintained through a system in which back and middle offices operate independently from front offices. In addition, separate Asset-Liability Management, or ALM, Committee and Risk Management Meetings are held at each of the major subsidiaries every month to deliberate important matters related to market risk and control.
The holding company and the major subsidiaries allocate economic capital commensurate with levels of market risk and determined within the scope of their capital bases. The major subsidiaries have established quantitative limits relating to market risk based on their allocated economic capital. In addition, in order to keep losses within predetermined limits, the major subsidiaries have also set limits for the maximum amount of losses arising from market activities. The following diagram summarizes the market risk management system of each major subsidiary:
Market Risk Management System of Our Major Subsidiaries
Market Risk Management and Control
At the holding company and the major subsidiaries, market risk exposure is reported to the Chief Risk Officers on a daily basis. At the holding company, the Chief Risk Officer monitors market risk exposure across
183
the Group as well as the major subsidiaries’ control over their quantitative limits for market risk and losses. Meanwhile, the Chief Risk Officers at the major subsidiaries monitor their own market risk exposure and their control over their quantitative limits for market risk and losses. In addition, various analyses on risk profiles, including stress testing, are conducted and reported to the Executive Committees and the Corporate Risk Management Committees on a regular basis. At the business unit levels in the major subsidiaries, the market risks on their marketable assets and liabilities, such as interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk, are controlled by entering into various hedging transactions using marketable securities and derivatives.
As part of our market risk management activities, we use certain derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate and currency exposures. We maintain an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of interest rate contracts to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. We enter into interest rate swaps and other contracts as part of our interest rate risk management strategy primarily to alter the interest rate sensitivity of our loans, investment securities and deposit liabilities. Our principal objectives in risk management include asset and liability management. Asset and liability management is viewed as one of the methods for us to manage our interest rate exposures on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate contracts, which are generally
non-leveraged
generic interest rate and basis swaps, options and futures, allow us to effectively manage our interest rate risk position. Option contracts primarily consist of caps, floors, swaptions and options on index futures. Futures contracts used for asset and liability management activities are primarily index futures providing for cash payments based upon the movement of an underlying rate index. We enter into forward exchange contracts, currency swaps and other contracts in response to currency exposures resulting fromon-balance
sheet assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in order to limit the net foreign exchange position by currency to an appropriate level.These market risk management activities are performed in accordance with the predetermined rules and procedures. The internal auditors regularly verify the appropriateness of the management controls over these activities and the risk evaluation models adopted.
Market Risk Measurement Model
Market risks consist of general risks and specific risks. General market risks result from changes in entire markets, while specific risks relate to changes in the prices of individual stocks and bonds which are independent of the overall direction of the market.
To measure market risks, MUFG uses the VaR method which estimates changes in the market value of portfolios within a certain period by statistically analyzing past market data. Since the daily variation in market risk is significantly greater than that in other types of risk, MUFG measures and manages market risk using VaR on a daily basis.
Market risk for trading and
non-trading
activities is measured using a uniform market risk measurement model. The principal model used for these activities is a historical simulation, or HS, model (holding period, 10 business days; confidence interval, 99%; and observation period, 701 business days). The HS model calculates VaR amounts by estimating the profit and loss on the current portfolio by applying actual fluctuations in market rates and prices over a fixed period in the past. This method is designed to capture certain statistically infrequent movements, such as a fat tail, and accounts for the characteristics of financial instruments withnon-linear
behavior. The holding company and the major banking subsidiaries also use the HS model as part of the calculation of their Basel III regulatory capital adequacy ratios.In calculating VaR using the HS method, we have implemented an integrated market risk measurement system throughout the Group. Our major subsidiaries calculate their VaR based on the risk and market data prepared by the information systems of their front offices and other departments. The major subsidiaries provide this risk data to the holding company, which calculates overall VaR, taking into account the diversification effect among all portfolios of the major subsidiaries.
184
For the purpose of internally evaluating capital adequacy on an economic capital basis in terms of market risk, we use this market risk measurement model to calculate risk amounts based on a holding period of one year and a confidence interval of 99.9%.
Monitoring and managing our sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations is the key to managing market risk in MUFG’s
non-trading
activities. The major banking subsidiaries take the following approach to measuring risks concerning core deposits, loan prepayments and early deposit withdrawals.To measure interest rate risk relating to deposits without contract-based fixed maturities, the amount of “core deposits” is calculated through a statistical analysis based on deposit balance trend data and the outlook for interest rates on deposits, business decisions, and other factors. The amount of “core deposit” is categorized into various groups of maturity terms of up to ten years to recognize interest rate risk. The calculation assumptions and methods to determine the amount of core deposits and maturity term categorization are regularly reviewed.
Meanwhile, deposits and loans with contract-based maturities are sometimes cancelled or repaid before their maturity dates. To measure interest rate risk for these deposits and loans, we reflect these early termination events mainly by applying early termination rates calculated based on a statistical analysis of historical repayment and cancellation data together with historical market interest rate data.
Summaries of Market Risks (Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020)
Trading activities
The aggregate VaR for our total trading activities as of March 31, 2020 was ¥24.81 billion, comprising interest rate risk exposure of ¥24.31 billion, foreign exchange risk exposure of ¥5.34 billion, and equity-related risk exposure of ¥2.15 billion. Compared with the VaR as of March 31, 2019, we experienced an increase in market risk during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in interest rate risk.
Our average daily VaR for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was ¥19.11 billion. Based on a simple sum of figures across market risk categories, interest rate risk accounted for approximately 75%, foreign exchange risk for approximately 18% and equity-related risk for approximately 7%, of our total trading activity market risks.
Due to the nature of trading operations which involves frequent changes in trading positions, market risk varied substantially during the fiscal year, depending on our trading positions.

The quantitative market risk figures from trading activities tend to fluctuate widely due to the market sensitive nature of the trading business. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the revenue from our trading activities has been relatively stable, keeping positive numbers in 245 days out of 261 trading days in the period. During the same period, there were 97 days with positive revenue exceeding ¥1 billion and four days with negative revenue exceeding minus ¥1 billion.
Non-trading
ActivitiesThe aggregate VaR for our total
non-trading
activities as of March 31, 2020, excluding market risks related to our strategic equity portfolio and measured using the same standards as trading activities, was ¥672.7 billion.186
Market risk related to interest rates equaled ¥613.4 billion and equities-related risk equaled ¥156.9 billion. Compared with the VaR as of March 31, 2019, we experienced an increase in market risk during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in interest rate risk. The main cause for the increase in interest rate risk was the greater U.S interest rate volatility particularly during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Based on a simple sum of figures across market risk categories, interest rate risks accounted for approximately 79% of our total
non-trading
activity market risks as of March 31, 2020. Looking at a breakdown of interest rate related risk by currency, as of March 31, 2020, the yen accounted for approximately 29% while the U.S. dollar accounted for approximately 58%, and the euro approximately 13%.For a description of our strategic equity investment risk management, see “—Risk Management of Strategic Equity Portfolio.”

Comparing the proportion of each currency’s interest rate VaR to the total interest rate VaR as of March 31, 2020 against that as of March 31, 2019, there was a 15 percentage point decrease in the Japanese yen from 44% to 29%, a 26 percentage point increase in the U.S. dollar from 32% to 58%, and a 11 percentage point decrease in the euro from 24% to 13%.
Backtesting
We conduct backtesting in which a VaR is compared with hypothetical profits and losses on a daily basis to verify the accuracy of our VaR measurement model. We also conduct additional backtesting using other methods, including testing VaR against actual realized and unrealized losses and testing VaR by various changing parameters such as confidence intervals and observation periods used in the model.
Hypothetical losses exceeded the VaR amount four times in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. This means that our VaR model provided reasonably accurate measurements of market risk during the fiscal year.
The following graph shows daily VaR of trading activities and the distribution of corresponding hypothetical profits and losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020:
188
The following graph shows VaR of trading activities and hypothetical profits and losses on a daily basis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020:
Stress Testing
We use an
HS-VaR
model, which calculates potential changes in the market value of our portfolio as a statistically possible amount of losses that could be incurred due to market fluctuations within a certain period (or holding period, of 10 business days) based on historical market volatility for a certain period (or observation period, of 701 business days, or approximately three years). Actual losses may exceed the value at risk obtained by the application of the model in the event, for example, that the market fluctuates to a degree not accounted forin the observation period, or that the correlations among various risk factors, including interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, deviate from those assumed in the model.
In order to complement these weaknesses of the
HS-VaR
model and measure potential losses that the model is not designed to capture, we conduct stress testing. Through the daily stress testing, we estimate maximum potential losses in each market on the current trading portfolio based on the worstten-day
historical volatility recorded during the VaR observation period of 701 days. As of March 31, 2020, we held a total trading activity position subject to estimated maximum potential losses of ¥16.4 billion as compared to ¥15.4 billion as of March 31, 2019. In addition, the holding company and major subsidiaries conduct stress testing, as appropriate, by applying various stress scenarios, including those which take into account estimates regarding future market volatility, in order to better identify risks and manage our portfolio in a more stable and appropriate manner. The holding company and major subsidiaries also measure stressed VaR relating to their trading activities based on aone-year
observation period with the highest VaR at least in the immediately preceding ten years.Funding Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk is the risk of incurring losses if a poor financial position hampers the ability to meet funding requirements, or necessitates fund procurement at interest rates markedly higher than normal.
Our major subsidiaries seek to maintain appropriate liquidity in both Japanese yen and foreign currencies by managing their funding sources and mechanisms, such as deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt, liquidity gap, liquidity-supplying products such as commitment lines, and buffer assets, primarily government bonds.
189
We have established a group-wide system for managing liquidity risk by categorizing the risk in the following three stages: normal, concern and crisis. The front offices and risk management offices of the major subsidiaries and the holding company exchange information and data on liquidity risk even at the normal stage. At higher alert stages, we centralize information about liquidity risk and discuss issues relating to group-wide liquidity control actions, including formulating contingency plans, among Group companies, if necessary. We have also established a system for liaison and consultation on funding in preparation for contingency, such as natural disasters, wars and terrorist attacks. The holding company and the major subsidiaries conduct group-wide contingency preparedness drills on a regular basis to ensure smooth implementation in the event of an emergency.
In addition, we have established a group-wide system for ensuring compliance with the minimum regulatory liquidity coverage ratio requirements by categorizing the risk in the following three stages: sufficient, concern and insufficient. The holding company and the major subsidiaries exchange information and data on LCR even at the sufficient stage. At higher alert stages, we hold group-wide LCR liaison meetings to discuss issues relating to LCR and, based on the discussion as well as the information and data that have been shared, take countermeasures to improve LCR as necessary.
For more information, see “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Sources of Funding and Liquidity.”
Operational Risk Management
Operational risk refers to the risk of loss caused by either internal control issues such as inadequate operational processes or misconduct, system failures, or external factors such as serious political instability, major terrorist activity, health epidemics or natural disasters. The term includes a broad range of risks that could lead to losses, including operations risk, information risk, IT risk, tangible asset risk, personnel risk, incompliance with laws and regulations risk, and legal risk. These risks that comprise operational risk are referred to as
sub-category
risks.190
The holding company has established, based on its Executive Committee’s determination, the MUFG Operational Risk Management Policy as a group-wide policy for managing operational risk. This policy sets forth the core principles regarding operational risk management, including the definition of operational risk, and the risk management system and processes. Under the policy, the board of directors and the Executive Committee formulate fundamental principles of operational risk management and establish and maintain an appropriate risk management system. The Chief Risk Officer is responsible for recognizing, evaluating, and appropriately managing operational risk in accordance with the fundamental principles formulated by the board of directors and the Executive Committee. A division in charge of operational risk management has been established that is independent of business promotion sections to manage overall operational risk in a comprehensive manner. These fundamental principles have also been approved by the boards of directors of the major subsidiaries, providing a consistent framework for operational risk management of the Group. The diagram below sets forth the operational risk management system of each major banking subsidiary:
Operational Risk Management System of Our Major Banking Subsidiaries
As set forth in the following diagram, we have established a risk management framework for loss data collection, control self-assessment, and measurement of operational risk in order to appropriately identify, recognize, evaluate, measure, control, monitor and report operational risk.
We have also established group-wide reporting guidelines with respect to loss data collection and its monitoring. We focus our efforts on ensuring accurate assessment of the status of operational risk losses and the implementation of appropriate countermeasures, while maintaining databases of internal and external loss events.
191
The following diagram summarizes our operational risk management framework:
Operational Risk Management Framework
Operations Risk Management
Operations risk refers to the risk of incurring losses arising from negligence of correct operational processing, incidents or misconduct involving officers or staff, as well as risks similar to this risk. The Group companies offer a wide range of financial services, ranging from commercial banking products such as deposits, exchange services and loans to trust and related services covering pensions, securities, real estate and securitization, as well as transfer agent services. Cognizant of the potentially significant impact that operations risk-related events could have in terms of both economic losses and damage to our reputation, our major subsidiaries continue to work on improving their management systems to create and apply appropriate operations risk-related controls.
Specific ongoing measures to reduce operations risk include the development of databases to manage, analyze and prevent the recurrence of related loss events; efforts to tighten controls over administrative procedures and related operating authority, while striving to improve human resources management, investments in systems to improve the efficiency of administrative operations, and programs to expand and upgrade internal auditing and operational guidance systems.
Senior management receives regular reports on the status of our businesses from an operations risk management perspective. We work to promote the sharing within the Group of information and expertise concerning any operational incidents and the measures implemented to prevent any recurrence.
Efforts to upgrade the management of operations risk continue with the aim of providing our customers with a variety of high-quality services.
Information Risk Management
Information risk refers to the risk of loss caused by loss, alteration, falsification or leakage of personal or other confidential information, as well as risks similar to these risks. We recognize our grave social and legal
192
responsibility to handle customer information properly, and we continue to work on enhancing our framework to manage such risk.
Complying with laws and regulations requiring proper handling of customer information, we implement information security management measures, including the establishment of an information risk management framework, enhancement of our internal operational procedures, and training courses mandatory for all officers and staff.
We have also formulated our Personal Information Protection Policy as the basis for our ongoing programs designed to protect the confidentiality of personal information.
With the aim of preventing any recurrence and minimizing risk or loss, we also work to promote sharing on a group-wide basis of experience, knowledge and expertise related to information risk incidents.
IT Risk Management
IT risk refers to the risk of loss arising from destruction, suspension, malfunction or misuse of IT, or unauthorized alteration and leakage of electronic data caused by insufficient IT systems planning, development or operations or by vulnerabilities of or external threats to IT system security, including cybersecurity, as well as risks similar to these risks.
Systems planning, development and operations include appropriate design and extensive testing phases to ensure that systems are designed to help prevent failures while providing sufficient safeguards for the security of electronic data including personal information.
System development projects are managed and overseen by a team dedicated to perform such management and oversight functions, and the development status of any mission-critical IT systems is reported regularly to senior management.
We have developed disaster countermeasures systems and have also been investing in duplication of the Group’s IT infrastructure to minimize damage in the event of any system failure. Emergency drills are conducted to help increase staff preparedness.
With the aim of preventing any recurrence and minimizing risk or loss, we also work to promote sharing on a group-wide basis of experience, knowledge and expertise related to system failures.
In addition, the risk of increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks is a significant focus of the Board of Directors, and the Board regularly receives reports on our cybersecurity program. We continue to work to strengthen measures designed to address and mitigate the risk, including the establishment of MUFG-CERT, our Computer Security Incident Response Team, implementation of multi-layered defense and detection measures, enhancement of monitoring systems through our Security Operation Centers, and cooperation with global organizations with relevant expertise. MUFG-CERT is charged with the responsibility of taking, coordinating and managing prompt action in response to cyber security incidents to mitigate their impact.
We aim to flexibly adapt our IT risk management measures to changes in the business environment, including the rapidly growing need for remote work solutions. We also continue to develop our risk management capabilities for emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotic process automation (RPA) and blockchain, considering, among other things, the maturity and usage of such technologies.
Tangible Asset Risk Management
Tangible asset risk refers to the risk of loss due to damage to tangible assets or deterioration in the operational environment caused by disasters or inadequate asset maintenance, as well as risks similar to this risk.
193
Tangible assets include movable physical properties and immovable properties, owned or leased, such as land, buildings, equipment attached to buildings, fixtures and furniture. We recognize the potentially significant impact tangible asset risk-related events can have on the management and execution of the Group’s businesses, which in turn can result in economic losses to, or diminished market confidence in, the Group. Accordingly, we continue to improve our risk control framework designed to appropriately manage such risk.
Personnel Risk Management
Personnel risk refers to the risk of loss due to an outflow or loss of human resources or deterioration in employee morale, as well as risks similar to this risk. We recognize the potentially significant impact personnel risk-related events can have on the management and execution of the Group’s businesses, which in turn can result in economic losses to, or diminished market confidence in, the Group. Accordingly, we continue to work on improving our risk control framework designed to appropriately manage such risk.
Incompliance with Laws and Regulations Risk Management
Incompliance with laws and regulations risk refers to the risk of loss due to failure to compliance with laws and regulations, as well as risks similar to these risks. We recognize the potentially significant impact compliance risk-related events can have on the management and execution of the Group’s businesses, which in turn can result in economic, reputation and other losses to, or diminished market confidence in, the Group. Accordingly, we continue to work on improving our compliance risk control framework designed to appropriately manage such risk.
Specifically, we have established our MUFG Group Code of Conduct as the basic guideline for the Group’s directors and employees. In addition, a compliance management division has been established at each of the holding company and the major subsidiaries. See “—Compliance” below.
Legal Risk Management
Legal risk refers to the risk of loss due to failure to identify or address legal issues relating to contracts and other business operations or insufficient handling of lawsuits, as well as risks similar to these risks.
The legal division at each of the holding company and the major subsidiaries centrally and uniformly evaluates legal issues prior to entering into contracts or commencing new business operations, deals with legal disputes and manages other legal matters. With the aim of effectively managing our legal risk arising from our globally expanding business operations, we have established a global and group-wide legal risk management framework and promote sharing of experience, knowledge and practices relating to legal risk issues on a global and group-wide basis.
Regulatory Capital Requirements for Operational Risk
(1) Adoption of the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA)
We have employed the AMA since March 31, 2012, in place of the Standardized Approach that we had been using previously, for calculation of the operational risk equivalent amount in connection with measuring capital adequacy ratios based on the Basel Standards. On the other hand, we use the Basic Indicator Approach, or BIA, for entities that are deemed to be less important in the calculation of the operational risk equivalent amount and for entities that are still preparing to implement the AMA.
(2) Outline of AMA
We have established a measurement model designed to account for four data elements—internal loss data, external loss data, scenario analysis, and business environment and internal control factors, or BEICFs—and calculate the operational risk equivalent amount by estimating the maximum loss using a 99.9th percentile
one-tailed
confidence interval and aone-year
holding period.194
In calculating the operational risk equivalent amount, we exclude expected losses relating to the amount of allowance for repayment of excess interest associated with the consumer finance business of a subsidiary. We do not exclude any other expected losses and do not reflect the risk mitigating impact of insurance. In addition, we take into account credit risk-related events that are not reflected in the measurement of the credit risk equivalent amount.
(3) Outline of Measurement Model
Our operational risk equivalent amount measured under the AMA is a simple sum of the amounts calculated separately for (1) MUFG Bank on a consolidated basis, (2) Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking on a consolidated basis, and (3) the holding company and other principal consolidated subsidiaries, in accordance with applicable FSA rules. For each of MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking on a consolidated basis, the operational risk equivalent amount is a simple sum of the amounts calculated based on the seven loss event types defined by the Basel Standards. For other Group companies, the operational risk equivalent amount is a simple sum of the amounts calculated based on eight loss event types consisting of the seven loss event types defined by the Basel Standards and an additional loss event type representing losses relating to repayment of excess interest associated with the consumer finance business of a subsidiary. We do not reflect the correlation effects among the loss event types in the calculation of our operational risk equivalent amount.
Outline of Measurement Model
The risk equivalent amount for each loss event type represents the amount of maximum loss estimated with a 99.9th percentile
one-tailed
confidence interval and aone-year
holding period based on the distribution of losses arising from all relevant risk events for aone-year
period (Loss Distribution). A Loss Distribution combines a Frequency Distribution (through which the frequency of occurrence of risk events is expressed) and a Loss Severity Distribution (through which the amounts of losses resulting from risk events are expressed) through Monte Carlo simulations. The data used for this purpose include internal loss data and scenario data. Scenario data are generated through a scenario analysis. External data and BEICFs are taken into account in the scenario analysis and reflected in scenario data. The Frequency Distribution is derived from the occurrence frequency information in internal loss data and scenario data expressed through a Poisson Distribution. The Loss Severity Distribution is derived from the amount information in internal loss data and scenario data expressed in anon-parametric
manner (where no underlying distribution is assumed).With respect to the risk of losses relating to repayment of excess interest associated with the consumer finance business of a subsidiary, the risk equivalent amount represents the amount of maximum loss estimated with a 99.9th percentile one-tailed confidence interval and a
one-year
holding period based on a normal195
distribution assumed by applying data on losses that arose in a given period, excluding any related expected losses.
We confirm the appropriateness of the measurement models by periodic verification and back testing.
(4) Outline of Scenario Analysis
As an initial step of our scenario analysis, we identify potential severe loss events that we have not experienced but may potentially experience in the future. In this identification process, we seek to ensure exhaustive coverage of potential severe loss events by comprehensively examining our experience relating to loss events and legal proceedings, external loss data, the control self-assessment results and other relevant information.
In the next step, we prepare scenario data for each identified severe loss event by quantifying the values depending on its occurrence frequency and loss severity, taking into account relevant transaction amounts and restructuring costs as well as BEICFs. In preparing scenario data, we apply an analysis method we deem appropriate for the type and nature of the operational risk involved.
In order to obtain an operational risk equivalent amount that is commensurate with, and appropriate for, our risk profile, we assess the need for an additional scenario or modification to our existing scenarios semi-annually.
We then reflect, as necessary, new risks arising as a result of changes in the business environment and the results of the implementation of measures to enhance our internal controls in response to newly identified risks in our scenario data.
Reputation Risk Management
Reputation risk refers to the risk of harm to our corporate value arising from perceptions of our customers, shareholders, investors or other stakeholders and in the market or society that we deviate from their expectations or confidence. We recognize that such risk, if materialized, can have a material negative impact on our business and continue to work on enhancing our framework designed to appropriately manage the risk based on our Corporate Vision, MUFG Group Code of Conduct, and other rules and codes of the Group.
Specifically, in order to manage our reputation risk effectively on a group-wide basis, we have established a risk management system designed to ensure mutual consultation and reporting if a reputation risk-related event occurs or is anticipated and, through this system, share relevant information within the Group.
Through the risk control framework and risk management system, we seek to prevent reputation risk-related events and minimize damage to the corporate value of the Group by promptly obtaining an accurate understanding of relevant facts relating to risk events and disclosing information concerning such events and the measures we take in response to such events in an appropriate and timely manner.
Model Risk Management
Model risk refers to the risk of loss due to decision-making based on information provided by an inaccurate model or the misuse of a model. We recognize the potentially significant impact model risk-related events can have on the management and execution of the Group’s businesses, which in turn can result in economic losses to, or diminished market confidence in, the Group. Models are used for increasingly wider and more important purposes, including valuing exposures, instruments and positions, measuring risks, and determining capital adequacy. Accordingly, we continue to work on improving our risk control framework.

Compliance
Basic Policy
We have clarified our mission, our vision and our values in the Corporate Vision and have expressed our commitment to meeting the expectations of customers and society as a whole. Furthermore, we have established MUFG Group Code of Conduct as the guidelines for how the Group’s directors and employees act to realize the Corporate Vision, in which we have expressed our commitment to complying with laws and regulations, to acting with honesty and integrity, and to behaving in a manner that supports and strengthens the trust and confidence of society.

Compliance Framework
Management and coordination of compliance-related matters are the responsibility of separate compliance management divisions established at the holding company and the major subsidiaries. Each compliance management division formulates compliance programs and organizes training courses to promote compliance, and regularly reports to each company’s board of directors and Executive Committee on the status of compliance activities.
The holding company has established a Group Compliance Committee and each major subsidiary has established a Compliance Committee for deliberating key issues related to compliance. Additionally, the holding company has a Group Chief Compliance Officer, or CCO, Committee, which consists of the CCO of the holding company acting as committee chairman and the CCOs of the major subsidiaries. The Group CCO Committee deliberates important matters related to compliance and compliance-related issues for which the Group should share a common understanding.
199
The following diagram summarizes our compliance framework:
Compliance Framework
Internal Reporting System and Accounting Auditing Hotline
The major subsidiaries have established internal reporting systems that aim to identify compliance issues early so that any problems can be quickly rectified. This system includes an independent external compliance hotline. Furthermore, the holding company has set up an MUFG Group Compliance Helpline that acts in parallel with group-company internal reporting systems and provides a reporting channel for directors and employees of Group companies. In the holding company, the contents of the reported cases as well as the result of surveys is reported to the audit committee on a regular basis or whenever necessary.
In addition to these internal reporting systems, the holding company has also established an accounting auditing hotline that provides a means to report any problems related to MUFG accounting.
200
MUFG Accounting Auditing Hotline
MUFG has set up an accounting auditing hotline to be used to make reports related to instances of improper practices (violations of laws and regulations) and inappropriate practices, or of practices raising questions about such impropriety or inappropriateness, regarding accounting and internal control or audits related to accounting in Group companies. The audit committee oversees the reporting process to ensure the appropriateness and effectiveness of the reporting process and monitors the reports received through the hotline. The reporting process works as follows, and may be carried out via letter or

Internal Audit
Role of Internal Audit
Internal Audit aims to evaluate and assist in the improvement of the effectiveness of governance, risk management and control processes with high proficiency and independence, thereby contributing to the enhancement of the corporate value of the MUFG Group and to the achievement of the Group’s corporate vision. Internal Audit covers all aspects of the Group’s business activities and discusses and evaluates the management and operational frameworks and the implementation of business operations from legal compliance, rationality and efficiency perspectives, beyond checking compliance with defined procedures.
In addition, Internal Audit provides instructions and recommendations for operational improvement to audited divisions and reports to senior management on such instructions and recommendations, thereby contributing to safeguarding and development of the Group’s assets.
Three Lines of Defense Framework
Risk management is conducted at multiple levels within a business organization, including front-office divisions in charge of managing specific categories of risk, a compliance division, and an internal audit division.
As for financial institutions, including the MUFG Group, based on the experience of past financial crises, the traditional risk management structure that was heavily dependent on front-office divisions has been under
201
close scrutiny. As a result, there is an increasing expectation for financial institutions to achieve more effective risk management through, for example, appropriate allocation of risk management roles and responsibilities among various divisions.
Cognizant of the importance of these developments, we have adopted the concept of “Three Lines of Defense” where the roles and responsibilities of each division in risk management are defined, classifying divisions within a financial institution into “the 1st Line of Defense”, “the 2nd Line of Defense” and “the 3rd Line of Defense”.
Line | Divisions | Roles | ||
The 1st Line of Defense | Business divisions and client-facing divisions | • Undertake risks within the extent of risk exposure assigned• Responsible and accountable for identifying, evaluating and controlling business risks | ||
The 2nd Line of Defense | Risk management division, compliance division, etc. | • Ensure that risks are appropriately identified and managed by the 1st Line of Defense | ||
The 3rd Line of Defense | Internal audit division | • Independently evaluate the effectiveness of the governance, risk management, and control processes implemented by the 1st and 2nd Lines of Defense |
Internal Audit plays an essential role in the Group’s risk management through ongoing communications with the 1st and 2nd Lines of Defense, while maintaining independence.
Group Internal Audit Framework
The MUFG Group has internal audit functions at the holding company level as well as at the subsidiary level, which are designed to ensure proficiency and independence through effective collaboration.
The internal audit division of the holding company receives reports from the internal audit divisions of subsidiaries on the status and results of their internal audits and provides them with instructions and evaluations as needed.
Reports to the Audit Committee
The holding company has an audit committee within its board of directors as required by the Companies Act of Japan, and each of the major subsidiaries has established an audit and supervisory committee. Within each of the holding company and the major subsidiaries, the internal audit division reports to the committee on important matters, including governing principles for internal audit plans and the status and results of internal audits.
MUFG Internal Audit Activity Charter
In April 2019, we adopted “MUFG Internal Audit Activity Charter”, which defines our basic policies for Internal Audit, including its mission, purposes, responsibilities, and roles.
This charter is designed to encourage Internal Audit staff to conduct internal audits in accordance with the global standards set by the Institute of Internal Auditors, an international organization established for, among other purposes, formulating practical internal audit standards.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and the Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule
13a-15(e)
under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule
13a-15(f)
under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, MUFG’s principal executive and principal financial officers, and effected by MUFG’s board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:(i) | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of MUFG, |
(ii) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of MUFG are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of MUFG, and |
(iii) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of MUFG’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020 based on the criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the evaluation, management has concluded that MUFG maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020 has been audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report, presented on page 209.

Basis for Opinion
The MUFG Group’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the MUFG Group’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the MUFG Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Item 16F. | Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
None.
Item 16G. | Corporate Governance. |
The NYSE allows NYSE-listed companies that are foreign private issuers, such as MUFG, with certain exceptions, to follow home-country practices in lieu of the corporate governance practices followed by U.S. companies pursuant to the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual. The following is a summary of the significant differences between MUFG’s corporate governance practices and those followed by U.S. listed companies under the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.
1. A NYSE-listed U.S. company must have a majority of directors that meet the independence requirements under Section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have nine outside directors as members of our board of directors, which consists of a total of sixteen members. Under our governance system, we are required to have outside directors on each of our nominating, audit and compensation committees, constituting a majority of its members. For a description of an outside director, see “Item 6.C. Directors and Senior Management—Board Practices.”
The Tokyo Stock Exchange rules require listed companies, including us, to identify at least one individual who the company believes is unlikely to have a conflict of interest with general shareholders and have such individual serve as an independent director or outside corporate auditor. An amendment to the Companies Act, which is expected to take effect in 2021, will require any listed company to have an outside director.
Further, a listed company with fewer than two outside directors who are considered independent based on such internal standards as the company establishes pursuant to the Tokyo Stock Exchange requirements must publicly disclose the reason for not having at least two such directors on its board of directors. In addition, if a listed company determines that at least
one-third
of the members of its board of directors should be independent outside directors, the listed company must disclose its policy relating to the determination. We have adopted and made public our corporate governance policy providing, among other things, that, in general, half of the members of our board of directors will be independent outside directors.211
2. A NYSE-listed U.S. company must have an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors.
Under the Companies Act, we are required to have an audit committee consisting of at least three
non-executive
directors, and the majority of its members must be outside directors. Currently, our audit committee consists of three outside directors and twonon-executive
directors. Our audit committee satisfies the requirements of Rule10A-3
under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the independence requirements thereunder.”3. A NYSE-listed U.S. company must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.
Under the Companies Act, we are required to have a compensation committee consisting of at least three directors, and the majority of its members must be outside directors. Currently, our compensation committee consists of five directors, four of whom are outside directors.
4. A NYSE-listed U.S. company must have a nominating or corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors.
Under the Companies Act, we are required to have a nominating committee consisting of at least three directors, and the majority of its members must be outside directors. Currently, our nominating committee, which we call the nominating and governance committee, consists of five directors, four of whom are outside directors.
5. A NYSE-listed U.S. company must obtain shareholder approval with respect to any equity compensation plan.
Under the Companies Act, an equity compensation plan for directors and corporate executives is deemed to be compensation for the services performed by the company’s directors and corporate executives. Our compensation committee establishes the policy with respect to the determination of the individual compensation of our directors and corporate executives, including equity compensation in the form of performance-based stock compensation plan, and determines individual compensation in accordance with the policy. Under the Companies Act, a public company with board audit, compensation and nominating committees seeking to introduce a performance-based stock compensation plan must obtain the approval of its compensation committee, not its shareholders.
6. A NYSE-listed U.S. company must adopt and disclose Corporate Governance Guidelines and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and it must also disclose any exemptions granted to directors or executives.
Our corporate governance policies, which are called the “MUFG Corporate Governance Policies,” are based on applicable home-country rules, particularly the Tokyo Stock Exchange rules, which require listed companies, such as us, to adopt a corporate governance code setting forth fundamental principles designed to establish an effective corporate governance system or explain in their corporate governance reports the reasons for not adopting such a code. We disclose these policies on our website.
We have adopted a code of conduct, compliance rules, compliance manual and rules of employment, which meet the definition of “code of ethics” in “Item 16B. Code of Ethics.”
7. A NYSE-listed U.S. company must hold regularly scheduled executive sessions where participants are limited to
non-management
directors.Under the Companies Act, Japanese corporations are not obliged to hold executive sessions where participants are limited to
non-management
directors. Such executive sessions are also not required under our internal corporate governance rules.212

SELECTED STATISTICAL DATA
Due to close integration of our foreign and domestic activities, it is difficult to make a precise determination of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of our foreign operations. The foreign operations as presented include the business conducted by overseas subsidiaries and branches, and the international business principally conducted by the international banking-related divisions headquartered in Japan. Our management believes that the results appropriately represent our domestic and foreign activities.

Notes: (1) Tax-exempt income oftax-exempt investment securities has not been calculated on a tax equivalent basis because the effect of such calculation would not be material.(2) Average balances on loans outstanding include all nonaccrual and restructured loans. See “III. Loan Portfolio.” The amortized portion of net loan origination fees (costs) is included in interest income on loans, which accounts for an insignificant amount of an adjustment to the yields. |

Nonaccrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans
We generally discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when substantial doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest, when principal or interest is contractually past due one month or more with respect to loans within all classes of the Commercial segment, three months or more with respect to loans within the Card, MUFG Americas Holdings, and Krungsri segments, and six months or more with respect to loans within the Residential segment.
Regarding our policy for placing loans on nonaccrual status, see “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Loans” in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Notes:
(1) | Foreign accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more do not include ¥1,930 million, ¥1,514 million, ¥549 million, ¥234 million and ¥74 million of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) covered loans held by MUFG Americas Holdings which are subject to the guidance on loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality at March 31, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. |
(2) | The sum of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more includes large groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans that have not been modified and are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more. However, these loans are excluded from the impaired loan balances of ¥1,209,791 million and ¥1,306,829 million, at March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, disclosed in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. |
Gross interest income which would have been accrued at the original terms on domestic nonaccrual and restructured loans outstanding during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was approximately ¥32.5 billion, of
A-10
which ¥11.9 billion was included in the results of operations for the fiscal year. Gross interest income which would have been accrued at the original terms on foreign nonaccrual and restructured loans outstanding for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 was approximately ¥38.5 billion, of which ¥18.3 billion was included in the results of operations for the fiscal year.
Potential Problem Loans
We do not have potential problem loans where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to the borrowers’ ability to comply with the present loan repayment terms that are not disclosed as nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more.
Foreign Loans Outstanding
We had no cross-border outstandings to borrowers domiciled in a foreign country which in total exceeded 0.75% of our consolidated total assets at March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Cross-border outstandings are defined, for this purpose, as loans (including accrued interest), acceptances, interest-earning deposits with other banks, other interest-earning investments and any other monetary assets denominated in Japanese yen or other
non-local
currencies. Material local currency loans outstanding which are neither hedged nor funded by local currency borrowings are included in cross-border outstandings.Guarantees of outstandings to borrowers domiciled in other countries are considered to be outstandings of the guarantor. Loans made to, or deposits placed with, a branch of a foreign bank located outside the foreign bank’s home country are considered to be loans to, or deposits with, the foreign bank. Outstandings of a country do not include principal or interest amounts which are supported by written, legally enforceable guarantees by guarantors of other countries or the amounts of outstandings to the extent that they are secured by tangible, liquid collateral held and realizable by MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking and their subsidiaries outside the country in which they operate.
In addition to credit risk, cross-border outstandings are subject to country risk that as a result of political or economic conditions in a country, borrowers may be unable or unwilling to pay principal and interest according to contractual terms. Other risks related to cross-border outstandings include the possibility of insufficient foreign exchange and restrictions on its availability.
In order to manage country risk, we establish various risk management measures internally. Among other things, we regularly monitor economic conditions and other factors globally and assess country risk in each country where we have cross-border exposure. For the purposes of monitoring and controlling the amount of credit exposed to country risk, we set a country limit, the maximum amount of credit exposure for an individual country, in consideration of the level of country risk and our ability to bear such potential risk. We also determine our credit policy for each country in accordance with our country risk level and our business plan with regard to the country. The assessment of country risk, establishment of country limits, and determination of country credit policies are subject to review and approval by our senior management and are updated periodically.
Loan Concentrations
At March 31, 2020, there were no concentrations of loans to a single industry group of borrowers, as defined by the Bank of Japan industry segment loan classifications, which exceeded 10 % of our consolidated total loans, except for loans in a category disclosed in the table of loans outstanding above.
A-11
Credit Risk Management
We have a credit rating system, under which borrowers and transactions are graded on a worldwide basis. We calculate probability of default by statistical means and manage our credit portfolio based on this credit rating system. For a detailed description of this system and other elements of our risk management structure, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk—Credit Risk Management.”

2016-01,
Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10)—Recognition
and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the MUFG Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the MUFG Group’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the MUFG Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the
current-period
audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.F-3
Allowance for Credit Losses—Commercial Segment—Refer to Notes 1 and 4 to the Financial Statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The MUFG Group has banking subsidiaries and they are engaged in lending business as one of their core businesses. It maintains an allowance for credit losses to absorb incurred probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio because there is a risk of not collecting all or part of the loan amount due to credit events such as borrower’s bankruptcy. The appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses for the loan portfolio was determined by evaluating various factors and assumptions, such as the borrower’s internal credit rating and historical loss experience as well as adjustments to reflect existing economic conditions at the balance sheet date. At March 31, 2020, the MUFG Group had ¥86,622,787 million of loans in the Commercial segment and recorded an allowance for credit losses against these loans of ¥482,275 million.
Of the various factors and assumptions, the determination of the allowance for credit losses for the Commercial segment requires management to make significant judgments due to the subjectivity and uncertainty associated with the determination of borrowers’ internal credit ratings which are highly dependent on the estimation of the borrowers’ performance and business sustainability in case the borrowers experience financial problems. As the particular borrowers’ internal credit ratings are affected by changes in the borrowers’ external and internal business environment, there is a high degree of uncertainty and subjective judgment made by management.
In addition, the MUFG Group recognized a qualitative reserve for loan losses, specific to the Commercial segment as a result of the estimated impact that
COVID-19
had on borrowers’ credit risk which has been incurred but did not appear on the individual borrower’s financials. The estimate included assumptions regarding which borrowers (certain industries and regions) have suffered significant impacts on their performance as a result of theCOVID-19.
Assumptions about the severity and duration of theCOVID-19
were also used to estimate the impact of theCOVID-19
on the borrowers. There is a high degree of uncertainty and subjective judgment made by management due to the lack of consensus relating to the severity and duration of theCOVID-19.
Thus, we identified the particular borrowers’ internal credit ratings used to determine the allowance for credit losses for the Commercial segment and the qualitative reserve recorded in the Commercial segment as a result of the
COVID-19
as critical audit matters. Auditing the determination of the internal credit ratings and the qualitative reserve required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our credit specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the internal credit ratings and the amount of the qualitative reserve.How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the particular borrowers’ internal credit ratings used to determine the allowance for credit losses for the Commercial segment and the qualitative reserve recorded in the Commercial segment as a result of the
COVID-19
included the following, among others:• | We tested the effectiveness of controls, including review and approval, over the borrowers’ internal credit ratings and the determination of the amount of the qualitative reserve as a result of the COVID-19. |
• | We tested the effectiveness of controls over the completeness and accuracy of the information used in performing the aforementioned controls, including the borrowers’ underlying information. |
• | With the assistance of our credit specialists, we tested significant assumptions applied by management to determine the internal credit ratings and the appropriateness of the borrowers’ underlying information by comparing them with available relevant external information. |
F-4
• | For the borrowers in certain industries and regions who have suffered significant impacts on their performance as a result of the COVID-19, with the assistance of our credit specialists, we tested the reasonableness of these significant assumptions used to estimate the impact of theCOVID-19 on the borrowers by comparing the information which is the basis for management’s determination of the qualitative reserve as a result of theCOVID-19 with available relevant external information and evaluating appropriateness of the information used by management. |
Business Developments—Danamon’s Relationships with Agents and FSI’s Customer Relationships—Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
As part of the global strategies, the MUFG Group has executed multiple
large-scale
acquisitions, investments, and capital alliances. The MUFG Group recorded intangible assets through these business combinations. As the fair value measurement of the intangible assets includes complex estimates that require specialized knowledge, there is a risk that fair value of the intangible assets is not properly estimated. The MUFG Group completed the acquisition of PT Bank Danamon Indonesia, Tbk. (“Danamon”) on April 29, 2019 and the acquisition of nine subsidiaries of Colonial First State Group Limited, which collectively, including their subsidiaries, represent the global asset management business of Colonial First State Global Asset Management, on August 2, 2019, which were renamed First Sentier Investors (“FSI”) after the acquisition. The MUFG Group accounted for these acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including Danamon’s relationships with agents of ¥79,552 million and FSI’s customer relationships of ¥100,862 million, respectively. Management estimated the fair values of these intangible assets using themulti-period
excess earnings method, which is a specific discounted cash flow method.The estimation of the fair values of these intangible assets required management to make significant judgements related to the following assumptions due to the subjectivity and uncertainty:
For the Danamon’s relationships with agents,
• | The growth rate of loan origination amounts reflecting market growth forecast |
• | The attrition rate of the existing agents based on historical actual results |
• | The discount rate in which the risk that the future cash flows differ from the estimate is taken into consideration |
For the FSI’s customer relationships,
• | The growth rate of asset under management reflecting market growth forecast |
• | The attrition rate of the existing customers based on historical actual results |
• | The discount rate in which the risk that the future cash flows differ from the estimate is taken into consideration |
As determination of these assumptions require specialized knowledge of corporate valuation and are affected by external factors such as market and customer conditions, there is a high degree of uncertainty and subjective judgment made by management. If these assumptions are not appropriate, there is a potential risk that fair values of the intangible assets at the time of the business combination are not properly measured.
Thus, we identified the aforementioned assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the Danamon’s relationships with agents and the FSI’s customer relationships as critical audit matters because of the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair values of the intangible assets. Auditing these significant assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the significant assumptions.
F-5
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the Danamon’s relationships with agents and the FSI’s customer relationships included the following, among others:
• | We tested the effectiveness of controls related to the valuation of intangible assets, including review and approval, over the growth rates of loan origination amounts and asset under management reflecting the market growth forecast, the attrition rates of existing agents and customers based on historical actual results, and the discount rates applied to estimation of future cash flows. |
• | We tested the effectiveness of controls over the completeness and accuracy of the key underlying data used in performing the aforementioned controls. |
• | With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the growth rates of loan origination amounts and assets under management reflecting the market growth forecast, the attrition rates of existing agents and customers based on historical actual results, and the discount rates applied to estimation of future cash flows by evaluating whether they were appropriately estimated to reflect the circumstances inherent to the entity, which includes comparing them with available external information. |
Goodwill—Danamon and MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation Reporting Units—Refer to Notes 1 and 6 to the Financial Statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
As part of the global strategies, the MUFG Group has executed multiple
large-scale
acquisitions, investments, and capital alliances. The MUFG Group recorded a large amount of goodwill through these business combinations. There is a risk of a large amount of loss by the goodwill impairment as the MUFG Group does not obtain the expected synergy effects due to various factors such as unexpected changes in the region and industry of investees. The MUFG Group’s consolidated goodwill balance was ¥517,626 million at March 31, 2020, which was allocated to the MUFG Group’s reporting units. Goodwill arising from a business combination is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment. Goodwill is recorded at a designated reporting unit level for the purpose of assessing impairment. The MUFG Group’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its respective carrying value. The fair value of the Danamon reporting unit was measured using Danamon’s market capitalization and a corresponding control premium as a market approach, which was also corroborated by other valuation techniques. The MUFG Group determined that the carrying value of Danamon exceeded the fair value as of the measurement date, resulting in the impairment loss on goodwill of ¥241,356 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. In addition, the MUFG Group measured the fair values of the MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (“MUAH”) reporting units within the Global Commercial Banking Business Group segment and Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group segment (“MUAH reporting units”) using a combination of the income and the market approaches. The income approach estimates the fair values of the reporting units by discounting management’s projections of each reporting unit’s cash flows, including a terminal value to estimate the fair value of cash flows beyond the final year of projected results, using a discount rate derived from the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The market approach incorporates comparable public company price to tangible book value and price to earnings multiples. The MUFG Group determined that the carrying values of the MUAH reporting units exceeded the fair values as of the measurement date, resulting in the impairment loss on goodwill of ¥80,297 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.The estimation of the fair values of the Danamon and MUAH reporting units requires management to make significant judgements related to the following significant assumptions due to the subjectivity and uncertainty:
For the Danamon reporting unit,
• | The market capitalization to estimate the fair value of the Danamon reporting unit |
• | The control premium considered in relation to market capitalization |
F-6
For the MUAH reporting units,
• | Projected future operating cash flows based on forecasted future income in the income approach |
If these assumptions are not appropriate, there is a potential risk that the valuation of the goodwill is not properly measured.
Thus, we identified the aforementioned assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the Danamon and MUAH reporting units as critical audit matters because of the significant judgments made by management to develop the significant assumptions used in estimation of the fair values of the Danamon and MUAH reporting units. Auditing these significant assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the aforementioned significant assumptions.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the Danamon and MUAH reporting units included the following, among others:
For the Danamon reporting unit,
• | We tested the effectiveness of controls, including review and approval of determination whether an adjustment to the market capitalization is necessary by assessing the volume and level of activity in the market. |
• | We tested the effectiveness of controls, including review and approval of determination of comparable transactions used to determine the control premium. |
• | We tested the effectiveness of controls, including review and approval of the comparison of the fair value of the Danamon reporting unit calculated by market approach with the fair values calculated by alternative valuation techniques. |
• | We tested the effectiveness of controls over the completeness and accuracy of the key underlying data used in performing the aforementioned controls. |
• | We tested whether an adjustment to the market capitalization is necessary by assessing the volume and level of activity in the market. |
• | With the assistance of our fair value specialists, for the estimation of the control premium, we evaluated the relevance of the comparable transactions to Danamon acquisition by considering their industries, sizes, and businesses, among other factors. In addition, we evaluated the reasonableness of the control premium pertaining to the comparable transactions. |
• | With the assistance of our fair value specialists, in order to test the reasonableness of the valuation technique used to calculate the fair value of the Danamon reporting unit, we compared management’s fair value estimate with the fair values calculated by alternative valuation techniques. |
For the MUAH reporting units,
• | We tested the effectiveness of controls, including review and approval, over the projected future operating cash flows based on forecasted future income in the income approach, including controls over the assumptions used to estimate the projected future operating cash flows. |
• | We tested the effectiveness of controls over the completeness and accuracy of the key underlying data used in performing the aforementioned controls. |
F-7
• | We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s projected future operating cash flows based on forecasted future income by inquiring of management, comparing the projections to historical results, and inspecting financial trends and metrics. |
• | We considered the impact of changes in macroeconomic and company specific factors on management’s forecasts. |
• | With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of management’s projected future operating cash flows based on forecasted future income for each of the MUAH reporting units. |

1. | BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Description of Business
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (“MUFG”) is a holding company for MUFG Bank, Ltd. (formerly, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., “MUFG Bank” or “BK”), Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (“Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking” or “TB”), Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings” or “SCHD”), Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd. (“Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS”), and other subsidiaries. Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings is an intermediate holding company for Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd. (“Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities”). Through its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, MUFG engages in a broad range of financial operations, including commercial banking, investment banking, trust banking and asset management services, securities businesses, and credit card businesses, and it provides related services to individual and corporate customers. See Note
29
for more information by business segment.Basis of Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in Japanese yen, the currency of the country in which MUFG is incorporated and principally operates. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In certain respects, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments which are not included in the consolidated financial statements issued by MUFG and certain of its subsidiaries in accordance with applicable statutory requirements and accounting practices in their respective countries of incorporation. The major adjustments include those relating to (1) investment securities, (2) derivative financial instruments, (3) allowance for credit losses, (4) income taxes, (5) consolidation, (6) premises and equipment, (7) transfer of financial assets, (8) accrued severance indemnities and pension liabilities, (9) goodwill and other intangible assets and (10) lease transactions.
Fiscal years of certain subsidiaries, which end on December 31, and MUFG’s fiscal year, which ends on March 31, have been treated as coterminous. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, the effect of recording intervening events for the three-month periods ended March 31 on MUFG’s proportionate equity in net income of subsidiaries with fiscal years ended on December 31, would have resulted in a decrease of ¥10.76 billion, an increase of ¥19.97 billion, and a
de
crease of ¥142 – billion to net income attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, respectively. The decrease for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2020 was largely due to
an
additional allowance for loan losses caused by
COVID-19
and goodwill impairment. See Note
s
4 and 6 for more information. MUFG concluded that these intervening events do not represent substantial and permanent effects on
its
consolidated financial statements in any of the years presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to management judgment primarily relate to the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the valuation of financial instruments, the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of investment securities, the allowances for repayment of excess interest and accrued severance indemnities and pension liabilities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant accounting policies applied in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below:
Consolidation
investees-net.
The MUFG Group recognizes an impairment loss on investments in equity method investees that is other-than-temporary. The MUFG Group determines whether loss on investments is other-than-temporary, through consideration of various factors, such as inability to recover the carrying amount of the investment, the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investees, and the intent and ability to retain its investment in the investees for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the fair value. The MUFG Group also evaluates additional factors, such as the condition and trend of the economic cycle, and trends in the general market.The MUFG Group consolidates VIEs if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE which most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. To assess whether a VIE should be consolidated or not, the MUFG Group considers all factors, such as the purpose and design of the VIE, contractual arrangements, and the MUFG Group’s involvement in both the establishment of the VIE and
day-to-day
activities of the VIE. The MUFG Group considers a right to make the most significant decisions affecting a VIE to determine whether it is deemed to have the power to direct the activities of the VIE. Furthermore, the MUFG Group considers its economic interests in the VIE, including investments in debt or equity instruments issued by the VIE, liquidity and credit enhancement, and guarantees to determine whether such interests are potentially significant to the VIE or not.Assets that the MUFG Group holds in an agency, fiduciary or trust capacity are not assets of the MUFG Group and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Cash Flows
Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements and Foreign Currency Transactions
year-end
exchange rates for assets and liabilities. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange for the respective fiscal years.Foreign currency translation gains and losses related to the financial statements of overseas entities of the MUFG Group, net of related income tax effects, are credited or charged directly to Foreign currency translation

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
adjustments, a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (“Accumulated OCI”). Tax effects of gains and losses on foreign currency translation of the financial statements of overseas entities are not recognized unless it is apparent that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future.
Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currencies of the individual entities included in consolidation at the respective fiscal
year-end
foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency-denominated income and expenses are translated using average rates of exchange for the respective fiscal years. Gains and losses from such translation are included in Foreign exchange gains (losses)—net, as appropriate.Repurchase Agreements, Securities Lending and Other Secured Financing Transactions
off-balance
sheet forward repurchase commitments or purchases of securities with relatedoff-balance
sheet forward resale commitments. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, there were no such transactions accounted for as sales or purchases.Collateral—
mark-to-market
analysis. Financial assets pledged as collateral are generally negotiable financial instruments and are permitted to be sold or repledged by secured parties. If the MUFG Group sells these financial assets received as collateral, it recognizes the proceeds from the sale and its obligation to return the collateral. For secured borrowing transactions, principally repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions and derivative transactions, where the secured party has the right to sell or repledge financial assets pledged as collateral, the MUFG Group separately discloses those financial assets pledged as collateral in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.Trading Account Securities—

for a further discussion of fair value option.Investment Securities—
Held-to-maturity
debt securities and are carried at amortized cost. Debt securities that the MUFG Group may not hold to maturity other than those classified as Trading account securities, are classified asAvailable-for-sale
debt securities, and are carried at their fair values, with unrealized gains and losses reported on anet-of-tax
basis within Accumulated OCI, net of taxes, which is a component of equity. For debt securities, an OTTI is recognized in earnings for a security if the MUFG Group has intent to sell such a debt security or if it is more likely than not the MUFG Group will be required to sell such a debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If not, the credit component of an OTTI is recognized in earnings, butF-
20
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
the noncredit component is recognized in Accumulated OCI. In determining other-than-temporary declines in fair value to be recognized as an impairment loss on debt securities, the MUFG Group generally considers factors such as the ability and positive intent to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value, the financial condition of the issuer, the extent of decline in fair value, and the length of time that the decline in fair value below cost has existed.
Equity securities include marketable equity investment securities and nonmarketable equity investment securities. Marketable equity investment securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reflected in net income. Nonmarketable equity investment securities are primarily measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. Nonmarketable equity investment securities held by subsidiaries that are investment companies or brokers and dealers, are subject to the specialized industry accounting principles for investment companies and brokers and dealers. Securities of those subsidiaries are carried at their fair values.
Interest and dividends on investment securities are reported in Interest income. Dividends are recognized when the shareholder right to receive the dividend is established. Gains and losses on disposition of investment securities are computed using the average cost method and are recognized on the trade date.
Derivative Financial Instruments—
Derivatives entered into for trading purposes are carried at fair value and are reported as Trading account assets or Trading account liabilities, as appropriate. The fair values of derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under legally enforceable master netting agreements are presented on a gross basis. Changes in the fair value of such contracts are recognized currently in Foreign exchange gains (losses)—net with respect to foreign exchange contracts and in Trading account profits (losses)—net with respect to interest rate contracts and other types of contracts.
Embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contracts and meet the definition of derivatives are separated from the host contracts and measured at fair value unless the contracts embedding the derivatives are measured at fair value in their entirety.
Derivatives are also used to manage exposures to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates arising from mismatches of
asset
and liability positions. Certain of those derivatives are designated as hedging instruments and qualify for hedge accounting. The MUFG Group designates a derivative as a hedging instrument at the inception of each such hedge relationship, and it documents, for such individual hedging relationships, the risk management objective and strategy, including the item being hedged, the specific risk being hedged and the method used to assess the hedge effectiveness. In order for a hedging relationship to qualify for hedge accounting, the changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair values or variable cash flows of the hedged items attributable to the risk being hedged. All qualifying hedging derivatives are valued at fair value and included in Other assets or Other liabilities, as appropriate. For fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of a hedging instrument are recognized in the same income statement line as the hedged item. For cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of a hedging instrument are recognized in Accumulated OCI. Amounts realized on cash flow hedges related to variable rate loans are recognized in Net interest income in the period when the cash flow from the hedged item is realized.F-
21
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Any difference that arises from gains or losses on hedging derivatives offsetting corresponding gains or losses on the hedged items, and gains and losses on derivatives attributable to the risks excluded from the
assessment
of hedge effectiveness are recognized in earnings.Loans—
held-for-sale
classification and carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value generally on an individual loan basis. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the contractual life of the loan as an adjustment to yield using a method that approximates the interest method. Interest income on loans that are not impaired is accrued and credited to interest income as it is earned. Unearned income and discounts or premiums on purchased loans are deferred and recognized over the remaining contractual terms of the loans using a method that approximates the interest method when such purchased loans are outside the scope of the guidance on loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality as described below.The MUFG Group classifies its loan portfolio into the following portfolio segments—Commercial, Residential, Card, MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (“MUFG Americas Holdings ” or “MUAH”), Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited (“Krungsri”), and Other based on the grouping used by the MUFG Group to determine the allowance for credit losses. The MUFG Group further classifies the Commercial segment into classes based on initial measurement attributes, risk characteristics, and its method of monitoring and assessing credit risk.
Originated loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the MUFG Group will be unable to collect all the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Past due status is determined based on the contractual terms of the loan and the actual number of days since the last payment date, and is considered in determining impairment. Originated loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a
case-by-case
basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is generally evaluated on aloan-by-loan
basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.Originated loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when substantial doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest, specifically when principal or interest is contractually past due one month or more with respect to loans within all classes of the Commercial segment, three months or more with respect to loans within the Card, MUFG Americas Holdings, and Krungsri segments, and six months or more with respect to loans within the Residential segment. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to an accrual status when interest and principal payments become current and management expects that the borrower will make future contractual payments as scheduled. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accrued but not received is generally reversed against interest income. Cash receipts on nonaccrual loans, for which the ultimate collectibility of principal is uncertain, are applied as principal reductions; otherwise, such collections are credited to income.
The MUFG Group modifies certain loans in conjunction with its loss-mitigation
activities
. Through these modifications, concessions are granted to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty, generally in order to minimize economic loss, to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral, and to ultimately maximizeF-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
payments received from the borrower. The concessions granted vary by portfolio segment, by program, and by
borrower
-specific characteristics, and may include interest rate reductions, term extensions, payment deferrals, and partial principal forgiveness. Loan modifications that represent concessions made to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulties are identified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).Generally, accruing loans that are modified in a TDR remain as accruing loans subsequent to the modification, and nonaccrual loans remain as nonaccrual. However, if a nonaccrual loan has been modified as a TDR, the borrower is not delinquent under the modified terms, and demonstrates that its financial condition has improved, the MUFG Group may reclassify the loan to accrual status. This determination is generally performed at least once a year through a detailed internal credit rating review process. Once a nonaccrual loan is deemed to be a TDR, the MUFG Group will continue to designate the loan as a TDR even if the loan is reclassified to accrual status.
A loan that has been modified into a TDR is considered to be impaired until it matures, is repaid, or is otherwise liquidated, regardless of whether the borrower performs under the modified terms. Because loans modified in TDRs are considered to be impaired, these loans are measured for impairment using the MUFG Group’s established asset-specific allowance methodology, which considers the expected default rates for the modified loans. See “for a discussion for each portfolio segment
Allowance for Credit Losses”
.
In accordance with the guidance on loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality, impaired loans acquired for which it is probable that the MUFG Group will be unable to collect all contractual receivables are initially recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be received. For these impaired loans, the related valuation allowances are not carried over or created initially. Accretable yield is limited to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life after reduction of any remaining allowance for credit losses for the loan established after its acquisition, if any, while any decrease in such cash flows below those initially expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition is recognized as an impairment.

policy to all loans in its portfolio regardless of the type of borrower. Management believes that the provision for credit losses is adequate and the allowance is at the appropriate amount to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the MUFG Group did not make any significant changes to the methodologies or policies used to determine its allowance for credit losses.F-
23
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Key elements relating to the policies and discipline used in determining the allowance for credit losses are credit classification and the related borrower categorization process. The categorization is based on conditions that may affect the ability of borrowers to service their debt, taking into consideration current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, analyses of relevant industry segments or existing economic conditions. In determining the appropriate level of the allowance, the MUFG Group evaluates the probable loss by collateral value, historical loss experience, probability of insolvency and category of loan based on its type and characteristics. The MUFG Group calculates the allowance for credit losses over the loss emergence period that is a time between a loss occurring event and the subsequent confirmation of a loss. The MUFG Group updates these conditions and probable loss on a regular basis and upon the occurrence of unexpected change in the economic environment.
The methodologies used to estimate the allowance and the
charge-off
policy for the major portfolio segments are as follows:Commercial segment
In the Commercial segment, the methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the allocated allowance for loans individually evaluated for impairment, the formula allowance, and the allocated allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans.
The allocated allowance for loans individually evaluated for impairment represents the impairment allowance determined in accordance with the guidance on accounting by creditors for the impairment of a loan. The factors considered by management in determining impairment are the internal credit rating assigned to each borrower which represents the borrower’s creditworthiness determined based on payment status, the number of delinquencies, and the probability of collecting principal and interest payments when due. The impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, or the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
The formula allowance is applied to loans that are categorized as Normal or Close Watch,
excluding
loans identified as a TDR, based on the internal credit rating and historical loss factors which are based on the loss experience. See Note 4 for the information on loans to borrowers categorized based on the internal borrower rating. Estimated losses inherent in the loans at the balance sheet date are calculated by multiplying the default ratio by the nonrecoverable ratio (determined as a complement of the recovery ratio). The default ratio is determined by each internal credit rating, taking into account the historical number of defaults of borrowers within each internal credit rating divided by the total number of borrowers. The recovery ratio is mainly determined by the historical experience of collections against loans in default. The default ratio, the recovery ratio and other indicators are continually reviewed to determine the appropriate level of the allowance. Because the evaluation of inherent loss for these loans involves an uncertainty, subjectivity and judgment, the estimation of the formula allowance is back-tested by comparing the allowance with the actual results subsequent to the balance sheet date. The results of such back-testing are evaluated by management to determine whether the manner and level of the formula allowance needs to be changed in subsequent years. Since historical loss factors are based on the historical loss experience, the formula allowance may include a qualitative reserve in order to reflect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the balance sheet date by considering qualitative factors including, among others, national and local economic trends and conditions, industry conditions, and effects of changes in credit concentrations.The allocated allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans is established through a process that begins with estimates of probable losses inherent in the portfolio. These estimates are based upon various analyses, including historical delinquency and historical loss experience.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Loans that have been modified into a TDR are treated as impaired loans. For nonaccrual TDRs, the allowance for credit losses is provided for these loans using the discounted cash flow method, or based on the fair value of the collateral. For TDRs accounted for as accruing loans, the allowance for credit losses is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the original effective interest rate of the loans prior to modification.
In relation to loans categorized as Legally/Virtually Bankrupt, the carrying amount of loans less estimated value of the
collateral
and guaranteed amount is generally considered uncollectible, and is charged off.Residential segment
In the Residential segment, the loans are comprised of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are pooled by their internal credit ratings-based on the number of delinquencies. The loans in this segment are generally secured by collateral. Collateral values are based on internal valuation sources, and the allowance is determined for unsecured amounts. The allowance for the nondelinquent group of loans is determined based on historical loss experience. For delinquent groups of loans, the MUFG Group determines the allowance based on the probability of insolvency by the number of actual delinquencies and historical loss experience.
Loans that have been modified into a TDR are treated as impaired loans. For nonaccrual TDRs, the allowance for credit losses is provided for these loans using the discounted cash flow method, or based on the fair value of the collateral. For TDRs accounted for as accruing loans, the allowance for credit losses is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the original effective interest rate of the loans prior to modification.
In relation to loans that are in past due status over a certain period of time and deemed uncollectible, the carrying amount of loans less estimated value of the collateral and guaranteed amount is generally considered uncollectible and charged off.
Card segment
In the Card segment, the loans are smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are pooled by their internal credit rating based on the number of delinquencies. The allowance for loans in this segment is generally determined based on the probability of insolvency by the number of actual delinquencies and historical loss experience. For calculating the allocated allowance for loans specifically identified for evaluation, impaired loans are aggregated for the purpose of measuring impairment using historical loss factors.
Loans that have been modified into a TDR are treated as impaired loans, and the allowance for credit losses is determined using the discounted cash flow method whereby the estimated future cash flows are discounted using the original effective interest rate of the loans prior to modification.
In relation to loans that are in past due status over a certain period of time and deemed uncollectible, the amount of loans is generally fully charged off.
MUFG Americas Holdings segment
In the MUFG Americas Holdings segment, the methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the allocated allowance for loans individually evaluated for impairment, the formula allowance, the allocated allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, and the unallocated allowance.
F-

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
The allocated allowance for loans individually evaluated for impairment is established for loans when management determines that the MUFG Group will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including interest payments. Impaired loans are carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan, the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.
The formula allowance is calculated by applying historical loss factors to outstanding loans. Historical loss factors are based on the historical loss experience and may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the balance sheet date.
The allocated allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans is established for consumer loans as well as for smaller balance commercial loans. These loans are managed on a pool basis, and loss factors are based on expected net
charge-off
ranges.The unallocated allowance represents an estimate of additional losses inherent in the loan portfolio and is composed of attribution factors, which are based upon management’s evaluation of various conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of the allocated allowance. The conditions used for consideration of the unallocated allowance at each balance sheet date include factors, such as existing general economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas and products of the MUFG Group, credit quality trends and risk identification, collateral values, loan volumes, underwriting standards and concentrations, specific industry conditions, recent loss experience and the duration of the current business cycle. The MUFG Group reviews these conditions and has an internal discussion with senior credit officers on a quarterly basis.
Loans that have been modified into a TDR are treated as impaired loans. For nonaccrual TDRs, the allowance for credit losses is provided for these loans using the discounted cash flow method, or based on the fair value of the collateral. For TDRs accounted for as accruing loans, the allowance for credit losses is determined by using the discounted cash flow method whereby the estimated future cash flows are discounted using the original effective interest rate of the loans prior to modification.
Commercial loans are generally considered uncollectible based on an evaluation of the financial condition of a borrower as well as the value of any collateral and, when considered to be uncollectible, loans are charged off in whole or in part. Consumer loans are generally considered uncollectible based on past due status and the value of any collateral and, when considered to be uncollectible, loans are charged off in whole or in part.
Krungsri segment
In the Krungsri segment, the methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the allocated allowance for loans individually evaluated for impairment, the formula allowance, and the allocated allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans.
The allocated allowance for loans individually evaluated for impairment is established for loans when management determines that the MUFG Group will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including interest payments. Impaired loans are carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan, the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.

For TDRs accounted for as accruing loans, the allowance for credit losses is determined by using the discounted cash flow method whereby the estimated future cash flows are discounted using the original effective interest rate of the loans prior to modification.
Loans to customers are charged off when they are determined to be uncollectible considering the financial condition of a borrower.
Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Instruments
off-balance
sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, guarantees, standby letters of credit and other financial instruments. The allowance is recorded as a liability in Other liabilities. The MUFG Group adopts the same methodology used in determining the allowance for credit losses on loans. Potential credit losses related to derivatives are considered in the fair value of the derivatives.Premises and Equipment

Maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized. Net gains or losses on dispositions of premises and equipment are included in Other
non-interest
income or expense, as appropriate.Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset or assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level with independent and identifiable cash flows. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell.
Asset retirement obligations related to restoration of certain leased properties upon lease termination are recorded in Other liabilities with a corresponding increase in leasehold improvements. The amounts represent the

present value of expected future cash flows associated with returning such leased properties to their original condition. The difference between the gross and present value of expected future cash flows is accreted over the life of the related leases as a
non-interest
expense.Goodwill
Goodwill arising from a business combination is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment. Goodwill is recorded at a designated reporting unit level for the purpose of assessing impairment.
A reporting unit is an operating segment, or an identified business unit one level below an operating segment. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, but not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

Intangible assets having indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. An impairment exists if the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. For other intangible assets subject to amortization, an impairment is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset.
The MUFG Group capitalizes certain costs associated with the acquisition or development of

Fees and Commissions
The following is an explanation of the MUFG Group’s key revenue from contracts with customers and the timing of its recognition.
Fees and commissions on deposits consist of fees and commissions charged for transaction-based services such as usage of automated teller machines and withdrawal services, and for periodic account maintenance services. The MUFG Group’s performance obligation for transaction-based services is satisfied and the fees and commissions are recognized at the point in time when the MUFG Group’s performance under the terms of a contractual arrangement is completed, which is at the settlement of a transaction, while the MUFG Group’s performance obligation for maintenance services is satisfied and the fees and commissions are recognized over the course of each month.
Fees and commissions on remittances and transfers consist of fees and commissions charged for settlement transactions such as domestic fund remittances, including electronic banking transactions, and are recognized at the point in time when the MUFG Group’s performance under the terms of a contractual arrangement is completed, which is at the settlement of a transaction.
Fees and commissions on foreign trading business consist of fees and commissions charged for fund collection and trade-related financing services related to foreign trading business, and are recognized in the period in which the related service is provided. If they arise from foreign trading business activities under which the customer consumes the related services at a point in time (e.g. foreign exchange fees), such fees are recognized at the same point in time. If they arise from foreign trading business activities under which the customer consumes the related services equally over the period of service (e.g. commercial letters of credit), such fees are recognized over the same period.
Fees and commissions on credit card business consist of fees and commissions such as interchange income, royalty and other service charges from franchisees.
Interchange income from the credit card business is
F-2

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
recognized as processed transactions are settled through the associated payment networks, while royalty and other service charges related to the credit card business are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of service.
Fees and commissions on security-related services primarily consist of fees and commissions for sales and transfers of securities including investment funds, underwriting, brokerage and advisory services, arrangement fees on securitizations, and agency services for the calculation and payment of dividends. Fees and commissions on security-related services are recognized in the period in which the related service is provided. If they arise from security-related services under which the customer consumes the related services at a point in time (e.g. sales and transfers of securities are executed at the customer’s direction; underwritings of debt and equity securities or securitizations are completed at the trade date; advice is provided to the clients; and dividends are calculated and then paid to investors), such fees are recognized at the same point in time. If they arise from security-related services under which the customer consumes the related services equally over the period of service (e.g. retainer fees on M&A advisory fees), such fees are recognized over the same period. The advisory fees which are paid upon meeting certain performance goals (e.g. success fees on M&A advisory fees) are recognized at the point in time when the performance goals are met.
Fees and commissions on administration and management services for investment funds primarily consist of fees and commissions earned from administrating and managing investment funds, including assets under management on behalf of clients. Such fees and commissions are recognized equally over the period of service at the amount calculated primarily based on the outstanding amount of each entrusted asset, the percentage of fees, and the extent of the service provided to administer the investment funds.
Trust fees consist primarily of fees earned by fiduciary asset management and administration services for corporate pension plans and investment funds, and are recognized on an accrual basis, generally based on the volume of trust assets under management and/or the operating performance for the accounting period of each trust account. With respect to the trust accounts with a guarantee of trust principal, trust fees are determined based on the profits earned by individual trust accounts during the trust accounting period, less deductions, including provision for reserves, impairment for individual investments and dividends paid to beneficiary certificate holders. The trust fees for these trust accounts are accrued based on the amounts expected to be earned during the accounting period of each trust account.
Guarantee fees consist of fees related to the guarantee business such as providing guarantees on residential mortgage loans and other loans, and are recognized over the contractual periods of the respective guarantees.
Insurance commissions consist of commissions earned from third-party insurance companies for marketing and selling insurance products and for the maintenance of insurance contracts. The former is recognized at the point in time which the associated service is fulfilled as the insurance contract is established by the insurance company, while the latter is recognized over the insurance period.
Fees and commissions on real estate business primarily consist of fees from real estate agent services, and are recognized in the period in which the related service is provided when assisting customers in the sales or purchase of real estate property.
Other fees and commissions include various fees and commissions earned on services to customers which have performance obligations that the MUFG Group completes in order to recognize revenue. The primary portion includes
non-refundable
financing related fees such as arrangement fees that are recognized when the service is provided.F-

Income Taxes
The MUFG Group records net deferred tax assets to the extent these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event the MUFG Group were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the MUFG Group would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
Uncertain tax positions are recorded on the basis of a
two-step
process whereby (1) it is determined whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on the basis of its technical merits, and (2) for those tax positions that meet themore-likely-than-not
recognition threshold, the MUFG Group recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The MUFG Group recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties are included within Other liabilities.Free Distributions of Common Shares

committee members), corporate executives, executive officers and senior fellows (collectively, “officers”). Compensation costs under the Stock Option Plan are recognized based on the grant date fair value of the stock option (“Stock Acquisition Rights”) over the period during officers are required to provide service in accordance with the terms of the plan. MUFG and certain of its subsidiaries also have performance-based stock compensation plan (“the Board Incentive Plan”). The awards granted under the Board Incentive Plan are classified as either liability for the part of award which are provided to officers in cash or equity for the part of award which are provided to officers in the common shares of MUFG. Compensation costs are recognized over the requisite service period for the entire awards. For awards classified as liability, compensation costs are measured based on the fair value calculated by the quoted price of common shares of MUFG at the date of fiscal
year-end
and remeasured at the end of each reporting period. Changes in quoted prices of common shares of MUFG between the date of grant and the settlement of awards are recognized in the period which the changes occur. For awards classified as equity, compensation costs are measured based on the grant date fair value by the quoted price of the common shares of MUFG.Accounting Changes
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance which requires equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, the fair value may be measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer (“the measurement alternative”), and the impairment assessment is simplified by performing a qualitative assessment to identify impairments. For financial liabilities which were elected to measure at fair value in accordance with the fair value option, this guidance also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the changes in the fair value of financial liabilities resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk. In addition, this guidance eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost, and clarifies, for disclosure purposes, the requirement for the use of an exit price notion in the determination of the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost. This guidance also clarifies that an entity must evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted except for the amendments related to the accounting for financial liabilities under the fair value option. In February 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance to improve certain aspects of the new guidance. The MUFG Group adopted the guidance on April 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the MUFG Group recorded an increase in the beginning balance of retained earnings as of April 1, 2018 of ¥2,702 billion, with a corresponding decrease in Accumulated OCI, net of taxes. Other amendments required under the new guidance did not have a material impact on the MUFG Group’s financial position and results of operations. As a result of adopting this guidance, marketable equity investment securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reflected in net income. Prior to adoption, such unrealized gains and losses were reflected in other comprehensive income. Nonmarketable equity investment securities previously accounted for under the cost method of accounting are now measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes.Disclosure Framework

Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, the guidance modifies disclosure requirements for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value and modifies disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty. Lastly, the guidance adds disclosure requirements for changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period that are included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period, and the guidance adds disclosure requirements related to the range and

average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this guidance. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this guidance and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The MUFG Group early adopted removal disclosure requirements as of March 31, 2019 and will adopt other requirements of this guidance on or prior to the effective date. The guidance affected disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and did not affect its financial position and results of operations.Leases—

The accounting applied by lessors is largely unchanged, but the accounting model for leveraged leases is not retained for leases that commence after the effective date of this guidance. This guidance also requires entities to provide qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2019 and recorded ¥428 billion of

The adoption of this guidance was not material to the MUFG Group’s results of operations. Prior periods are presented under previous policies.Leases previously described as capital leases are now referred as finance leases. As allowed by the guidance, the MUFG Group elected not to reassess the following at transition: whether existing contracts are or contain leases, and for existing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs.

For purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination that are measured at amortized cost basis, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price rather than being reported as a credit loss expense, only subsequent changes in the allowance are recorded as a credit loss expense, and interest income is recognized based on the effective interest rate, excluding the discount embedded in the purchase price that is attributable to the acquirer’s assessment of credit losses at acquisition. This guidance also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance, and requires the entity to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination.In April 2019 and November 2019, the FASB

Acquisition of shares in Bank Danamon in Indonesia
On December 26, 2017, MUFG Bank entered into conditional share purchase agreements with Asia Financial (Indonesia) Pte. Ltd. (“AFI”) and other affiliated entities (the “Sellers”) to acquire their 73.8% equity interests in an Indonesian bank, PT Bank Danamon Indonesia, Tbk. (“Danamon”), subject to applicable regulatory approvals.
Danamon, which was established in 1956, is the fifth most profitable Indonesian commercial bank in terms of net income. Danamon provides banking and financial products and services to consumer, small and medium enterprise (“SME”) and corporate customers, with a network of around 900 offices in Indonesia.
MUFG Bank intends to establish an integrated and comprehensive services platform that serves as a gateway for clients wishing to make inroads into Indonesia’s growing economy as well as local companies seeking to expand into the region. This investment is also expected to strategically allow MUFG Bank to benefit from Danamon’s foothold in the developing local retail and SME segments to deepen its banking franchise in Indonesia.
This strategic investment by MUFG Bank was executed through three steps (the “Proposed Transaction”), and the completion of the Proposed Transaction resulted in MUFG Bank becoming the largest shareholder in Danamon and Danamon becoming a consolidated subsidiary of MUFG Bank.
In Step 1, MUFG Bank acquired an initial 19.9% equity interest in Danamon from the Sellers on December 29, 2017, based on a price of IDR 8,323 (approximately ¥70
(1)
) per share, for an investment amount of IDR 15,875 billion (approximately ¥133 billion(1)
). The price was based on a price book-value ratio of 2.0 calculated on the basis of Danamon’s net assets as of September 30, 2017 with certain adjustments applied. AFI continues to be the majority shareholder in Danamon after closing of Step 1. MUFG Bank classified Danamon’s equity securities asAvailable-for-sale
securities on the acquisition date.In Step 2, MUFG Bank acquired an additional 20.1% equity interest in Danamon from the Sellers on August 3, 2018, based on a price of IDR 8,921 (approximately ¥69
(2)
) per share, for an investment amount of IDR 17,187 billion (approximately ¥132.3 billion(2)
). The price was based on a price book-value ratio of 2.0 calculated on the basis of Danamon’s net assets as of June 30, 2018 with certain adjustments applied. As a result, equity interest in Danamon increased to 40%, and MUFG Bank started to apply the equity method of accounting for its investment in Danamon during the six months ended September 30, 2018.In Step 3, MUFG Bank acquired an additional 54.0% equity interest in Danamon from AFI and other shareholders on April 29, 2019, based on a price of IDR 9,590 (approximately ¥77¥869
(3)
) per share, for an investment amount of IDR 50 trillion (approximately ¥397 billion) in cash. As a result, equity interest in Danamon increased to 94.0%, and Danamon became a consolidated subsidiary of MUFG Bank. The MUFG Group recorded goodwill of ¥254,271 million, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes and intangible assets of ¥146,899 million. The MUFG Group also recorded noncontrolling interests of ¥51,314 million at fair value determined by a quoted market price as of the acquisition date. The equity interest in Danamon held by MUFG Bank immediately before the acquisition date was remeasured to the fair value of ¥271,830 million based on the quoted market price, resulting in recognition of profits of ¥41,218 million which is included in Gain on remeasurement of previously held equity method investment in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the MUFG Group incurred

in PT Bank Nusantara Parahyangan, Tbk. (“BNP”) from ACOM CO., LTD., an equity method investee of MUFG, and other shareholders, based on a price of IDR 4,088 (approximately ¥33(3)
) per share, for an investment amount of IDR 3 trillion (approximately ¥24.1 billion). As a result, equity interest in BNP increased to 99.9%, and BNP became a consolidated subsidiary of MUFG Bank.On May
1, 2019, MUFG Bank made BNP merged into Danamon, acquiring an additional equity interest in Danamon in exchange for its equity interest in BNP, which resulted in MUFG Bank holding 94.1% equity interest in Danamon.

Evaluating Investment Securities for Other-than-
temporary
Impairments
The following describes the nature of the MUFG Group’s investments and the conclusions reached in determining whether the unrealized losses were temporary or other-than-temporary.
Corporate bonds
As of March 31, 2020, unrealized losses associated with corporate bonds were primarily related to private placement bonds issued by Japanese
non-public
companies. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining terms of the bonds as estimated using the MUFG Group’s cash flow projections. The key assumptions include probability of default based on credit ratings of the bond issuers and loss given default. The credit loss components recognized in earnings were ¥1,761 million and ¥1,535 million at March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.Residential mortgage-backed securities
As of March 31, 2020, unrealized losses on these securities were primarily driven by securities guaranteed by a U.S. government agency or a government-sponsored agency which are collateralized by residential
F-

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
mortgage loans. Unrealized losses mainly resulted from changes in interest rates and not from changes in credit quality. The MUFG Group determined through analysis that no OTTI was identified on such securities as of March 31, 2020
and no impairment loss has been recorded because the strength of the issuers’ guarantees through direct obligations or support from the U.S. government is expected to be sufficient to
recover
the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.Asset-backed securities
As of March 31, 2020, unrealized losses on these securities were primarily driven by certain collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), highly illiquid securities for which fair values are difficult to determine. Unrealized losses arise from widening credit spreads, deterioration of the credit quality of the underlying collateral, uncertainty regarding the valuation of such securities and the market’s view of the performance of the fund managers. When the fair value of a security is lower than its amortized cost or when any security is subject to a deterioration in credit rating, the MUFG Group undertakes a cash flow analysis of the underlying collateral to estimate the OTTI and confirms the intent and ability to hold these securities until recovery. Based on the analysis performed, no OTTI was identified as of March 31, 2020 and no impairment loss has been recorded.
Other debt securities
As of March 31, 2020, other debt securities primarily consist of private placement debt conduit bonds, which are not rated by external credit rating agencies. The unrealized losses on these bonds result from a higher return on capital expected by the secondary market compared with the return on capital required at the time of origination when the bonds were purchased. The MUFG Group estimates loss projections for each security by assessing the underlying collateral of each security. The MUFG Group estimates the portion of loss attributable to credit based on the expected cash flows of the underlying collateral using estimates of current key assumptions such as probability of default and loss severity. Cash flow analysis of the underlying collateral provides an estimate of OTTI, which is performed when the fair value of a security is lower than its amortized cost and potential impairment is identified. Based on the analysis, no OTTI losses were recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Marketable equity securities included in Equity Securities
The MUFG Group determines whether unrealized losses on marketable equity securities are temporary based on its ability and positive intent to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery and the results of its review conducted to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairment. Impairment is evaluated considering various factors, and their relative significance varies from case to case. The MUFG Group’s review includes, but is not limited to, consideration of the following factors:
The length of time that the fair value of the investment has been below cost
The extent to which the fair value of investments has been below cost as of the end of the reporting period

financial
condition and near-term prospects of the issuer primarily based on the credit standing of the issuers as determined by its credit rating system.At March 31, 2018, unrealized losses on marketable equity securities which have been in a continuous loss position are considered temporary based on the evaluation as described above.
OTTI of marketable equity securities is eliminated according to new guidance on recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities.

Notes:
(1) | TDRs for the Commercial and Residential segments include accruing loans, and do not include nonaccrual loans. |
(2) | TDRs for the Card, MUFG Americas Holdings, Krungsri and Other segments include accrual and nonaccrual loans. Included in the outstanding recorded investment balances as of March 31, 2019 and 2020 are nonaccrual TDRs as follows: ¥38,838 million and ¥40,028 million—Card; ¥14,973 million and ¥19,241 million—MUFG Americas Holdings; ¥31,069 million and ¥34,659 million—Krungsri; and nil and ¥1,058 million—Other, respectively. |
A modification of terms of a loan under a TDR mainly involves: (i) a reduction in the stated interest rate applicable to the loan, (ii) an extension of the stated maturity date of the loan, (iii) a partial forgiveness of the principal of the loan, or (iv) a combination of all of these. Those loans are also considered impaired loans, and hence the allowance for credit losses is separately established for each loan. As a result, the amount of allowance for credit losses increases in many cases upon classification as a TDR loan. The amount of
pre-modification
outstanding recorded investment and post-modification outstanding recorded investment may differ due to write-offs made as part of the concession. The impact of write-offs associated with TDRs on the MUFG Group’s results of operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 was not material.TDRs for the Commercial and Residential segments in the above tables include accruing loans, and do not include nonaccrual loans. Once a loan is classified as a nonaccrual loan, a modification would have little likelihood of resulting in the recovery of the loan in view of the severity of the financial difficulty of the borrower. Therefore, even if a nonaccrual loan is modified, the loan continues to be classified as a nonaccrual loan. The vast majority of modifications to nonaccrual loans are temporary extensions of the maturity dates, typically for periods up to 90 days, and continually made as the borrower is unable to repay or refinance the loan at the extended maturity. Accordingly, the impact of such TDRs on the outstanding recorded investment is immaterial, and the vast majority of nonaccrual TDRs have subsequently defaulted.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
TDRs that subsequently defaulted in the Commercial and Residential segments in the above tables include those accruing loans that became past due one month or more within the Commercial segment and six months or more within the Residential segment, and those accruing loans reclassified to nonaccrual loans due to financial difficulties even without delinquencies. This is because classification as a nonaccrual loan is regarded as default under the MUFG Group’s credit policy. Also, the MUFG Group defines default as payment default for the purpose of the disclosure.
In regards to the Card, MUFG Americas Holdings, Krungsri and Other segments, the TDRs in the above tables represent nonaccrual and accruing loans, and the defaulted loans in the above table represent nonaccruing and accruing loans that became past due one month or more within the Card segment, 60 days or more within the MUFG Americas Holdings segment, and six months or more within the Krungsri segment.
Historical payment defaults are one of the factors considered when projecting future cash flows in determining the allowance for credit losses for each segment.
The MUFG Group provided commitments to extend credit to customers with TDRs. The amounts of such commitments were ¥169,819 million and ¥90,097 million at March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. See Note

Notes:
(1) | Total loans in the above table do not include loans held for sale, and represent balances without adjustments in relation to unearned income, unamortized premiums and deferred loan fees. |
(2) | Total loans of MUFG Americas Holdings do not include FDIC covered loans which are not individually rated totaling ¥689 million and ¥365 million as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The MUFG Group will be reimbursed for a substantial portion of any future losses on FDIC covered loans under the terms of the FDIC loss share agreements. |
The MUFG Group classifies loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including, but not limited to, historical and current financial information, historical and current payment experience, credit documentation, public and
non-public
information about borrowers and current economic trends as deemed appropriate to each segment.The primary credit quality indicator for loans within all classes of the Commercial segment is the internal credit rating assigned to each borrower based on the MUFG Group’s internal borrower ratings of 1 through 15, with the rating of 1 assigned to a borrower with the highest quality of credit. When assigning a credit rating to a borrower, the MUFG Group evaluates the borrower’s expected debt-service capability based on various information, including financial and operating information of the borrower as well as information on the industry in which the borrower operates, and the borrower’s business profile, management and compliance system. In evaluating a borrower’s debt-service capability, the MUFG Group also conducts an assessment of the level of earnings and an analysis of the borrower’s net worth. Based on the internal borrower rating, loans within the Commercial segment are categorized as Normal (internal borrower ratings of 1 through 9), Close Watch (internal borrower ratings of 10 through 12), and Likely to become Bankrupt or Legally/Virtually Bankrupt (internal borrower ratings of 13 through 15).
Loans to borrowers categorized as Normal represent those that are not deemed to have collectibility issues.
Loans to borrowers categorized as Close Watch represent those that require close monitoring as the borrower has begun to exhibit elements of potential concern with respect to its business performance and financial condition, the borrower has begun to exhibit elements of serious concern with respect to its business performance and financial condition, including business problems requiring long-term solutions, or the borrower’s loans are TDRs or loans contractually past due 90 days or more for special reasons.
Loans to borrowers categorized as Likely to become Bankrupt or Legally/Virtually Bankrupt represent those that have a higher probability of default than those categorized as Close Watch due to serious debt repayment problems with poor progress in achieving restructuring plans, the borrower being considered virtually bankrupt with no prospects for an improvement in business operations, or the borrower being legally bankrupt with no prospects for continued business operations because of
non-payment,
suspension of business, voluntary liquidation or filing for legal liquidation.The accrual status is a primary credit quality indicator for loans within the Residential segment, the Card segment, the Other segment and consumer loans within the MUFG Americas Holdings segment. The accrual status of these loans is determined based on the number of delinquent payments. See Note 1 for further details of categorization of Accrual and Nonaccrual.
Commercial loans within the MUFG Americas Holdings segment are categorized as either pass or criticized based on the internal credit rating assigned to each borrower. Criticized credits are those that are internally risk
F-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
graded as Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful. Special Mention credits are potentially weak, as the borrower has begun to exhibit deteriorating trends, which, if not corrected, may jeopardize repayment of the loan and result in further downgrade. Classified credits are those that are internally risk graded as Substandard or Doubtful. Substandard credits have well-defined weaknesses, which, if not corrected, could jeopardize the full satisfaction of the debt. A credit classified as Doubtful has critical weaknesses that make full collection improbable on the basis of currently existing facts and conditions.
Loans within the Krungsri segment are categorized as Normal, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Doubtful of Loss primarily based on their delinquency status. Loans categorized as Special Mention generally represent those that have the overdue principal or interest payments for a cumulative period exceeding one month commencing from the contractual due date. Loans categorized as Substandard, Doubtful or Doubtful of Loss generally represent those that have the overdue principal or interest payments for a cumulative period exceeding three months commencing from the contractual due date.
For the Commercial, Residential and Card segments, credit quality indicators are based on information as of March 31. For the MUFG Americas Holdings, Krungsri and Other segments, credit quality indicators are generally based on information as of December 31.

Nonperforming loans were actively disposed of by sales during recent years. The allocated allowance for credit losses for such loans was removed from the allowance for credit losses and transferred to the valuation allowance for loans held for sale upon a decision to sell. Net charge-offs in the above table include a decrease from charge-offs in the allowance for credit losses amounting to ¥12.2 billion and ¥19.4 billion for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2020, respectively, and an increase from recoveries in the allowance for credit losses amounting to ¥15.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 due to loan disposal activity.
The MUFG Group sold ¥1,409 billion, ¥1,769 billion and ¥2,136 billion of loans within the Commercial segment during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.
The allowance for credit losses on the consolidated balance sheets for the year-ended March 31, 2020 included a qualitative reserve for loan losses of ¥46 billion on a pre-tax basis, specific to the Commercial segment, as a result of the estimated impact that COVID-19 had on borrowers’ credit risk which has been incurred but did not appear on the individual borrower’s financials.
The estimate included assumptions regarding which borrowers (certain industries and regions) have suffered significant impacts on their performance as a result of COVID-19. Assumptions about the severity and duration of COVID-19 were also used to estimate the impact of COVID-19 on the borrowers.
The MUFG Group consolidates certain subsidiaries based on financial information for the year ended December 31 as this date and MUFG’s fiscal year which ends on March 31 have been treated as coterminous. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the effect of recording a provision for credit losses and a provision for off-balance sheet credit instruments as an intervening event primarily due to economic environment triggered by COVID-19 for the three-month period ended March 31 2020 would have been approximately ¥84 billion and would have resulted in a decrease of ¥58 billion to net income attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. This amount was estimated using the expected credit losses method in accordance with(see “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 1). This intervening event occurring during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, if recorded, would not have had a substantial and permanent effects on consolidated total assets, net income or total equity as of March 31, 2020, and therefore, the intervening event was not recognized for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

In addition, ¥213 million, ¥411 million and ¥194
million of impairment losses were recognized for real estate held for sale for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. These losses are included in Othernon-interest
expenses. In computing the amount of impairment losses, fair value was determined primarily based on market prices, if available, or the estimated price based on an appraisal.Impairment losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 included ¥34,016 million of losses o

long-lived assets used for MUFG Bank’s operations.

Strategy published on May 15, 2017, and the new medium-term business plan, MUFG Bank reevaluated the profitability of some of its domestic operating assets. As a result of the reevaluation, it was determined that carrying amounts of these operating assets were unlikely to be recovered, and the impairment losses were recorded.Impairment losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 included ¥21,096 million losses on long-lived assets, including land, buildings, and equipment and furniture, which were held by certain consumer finance subsidiary.

U.S. GAAP requires to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired, using a process that compares the carrying amount of a reporting unit with its fair value. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, but not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2019, there were no
impairment losses recognized. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the MUFG Group recognized
¥241,356
million of an impairment of goodwill relating to Danamon reporting unit within the Global Commercial Banking Business Group Segment, which is included in impairment of goodwill in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. In determining the acquisition price of Bank Danamon, the results of multiple valuation techniques were considered with an expectation to benefit from Danamon’s foothold in the developing local retail and SME segments to deepen its banking franchise in Indonesia. After the acquisition of Danamon by MUFG Bank, Danamon’s market capitalization decreased. As a result, the fair value of the reporting unit as an exit price was measured on June 30, 2019 for the quantitative goodwill impairment test, and led to impairment of goodwill as the fair value had fallen below the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, reflecting a reduction in stock price as well as changes in the inputs to the valuation techniques in comparison to those considered in determining the acquisition price such as discount rate. The measurement of the fair value of the reporting unit was primarily based on a market approach, and was also corroborated by multiple valuation techniques.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the MUFG Group recognized ¥62,157
million of impairment of goodwill relating to Krungsri reporting unit within the Global Commercial Banking Business Group segment. The global economic slowdown led to slowing economic growth in Thailand and the decline of Krungsri’s stock price. As a result, the fair value of the reporting unit was measured on December 31, 2019 for the quantitative goodwill impairment test, and led to impairment of goodwill as the fair value had fallen below the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The measurement of the fair value of the reporting unit was primarily based on a market approach, and was also corroborated by multiple valuation techniques.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the MUFG Group recognized ¥80,297 million in impairment of goodwill relating to MUAH reporting unit within the Global Commercial Banking Business Group segment and Global Corporate & Investment Banking Business Group segment. Due to the decline in interest rates and slower growth than previously forecasted, cash flow projections for reporting units were lowe
red
. The combination of these events led management to believe that the fair values of certain reporting units were below carrying value. As a result, the fair value of the reporting unit was measured on December 31, 2019 for the quantitative goodwillF-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
impairment test, and led to impairment of goodwill with the fair value fallen below the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The MUFG Group estimated the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of the income and the market approaches. The income approach estimates the fair value of the reporting units by discounting management’s projections of each reporting unit’s cash flows, including a terminal value to estimate the fair value of cash flows beyond the final year of projected results, using a discount rate derived from the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The market approach incorporates comparable public company price to tangible book value and price to earnings multiples.
The MUFG Group consolidates certain subsidiaries, including MUAH, based on financial information for the year ended December 31 as this date and MUFG’s fiscal year which ends on March 31 have been treated as coterminous.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the effect of recording a goodwill impairment intervening event due to economic environment triggered by COVID-19 for the three-month period ended March 31 2020 on MUFG’s GCB segment related to MUAH would have been approximately ¥80 -
¥
110 billion and would have resulted in a decrease of ¥80 - ¥110 billion to net income attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. This intervening event occurring during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, if recorded, would not have had a substantial and permanent effects on consolidated total assets, net income or total equity as of March 31, 2020, and therefore, the intervening event was not recognized for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

Intangible assets subject to amortization acquired during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 amounted to ¥538,925 million, which primarily consisted of ¥291,821
million of software, ¥44,140 million of core deposit intangibles, ¥180,414 million of customer relationships and ¥16,402 million of trade names. The weighted average amortization periods for these assets are 5 years, 10 years, 17 years and
23
years, respectively. There is no significant residual value estimated for these assets. Intangible assets not subject to amortization acquired during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 amounted
to ¥23,804 million.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, the MUFG Group recognized ¥21,900 million, ¥118,108 million and ¥3,732 million, respectively, of impairment losses for intangible assets whose carrying amounts exceeded their fair value. In computing the amount of impairment losses, fair value was determined primarily based on the present value of expected future cash flows, the estimated value based on appraisals, or market prices.
The impairment loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 included a loss of ¥11,121 million relating to the foreign subsidiary’s customer relationships under the Trust Asset Business Group segment. The intangible
assets were valued based on discounted expected future cash flows. The estimated future cash flows of the above customer
relationshipswere revised downward due to a decrease in acquired customer base. Accordingly, the MUFG group revaluated the intangible assets and recognized impairment losses
.
The impairment loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 included a loss of ¥137,186 million relating to software held by certain consumer finance subsidiary under the Retail & Commercial Banking Business Group segment. The consumer finance subsidiary determined to fundamentally review its current system integration plan, comprehensively taking into account the scale, complexity and the degree of difficulty for the system development to respond rapid changes in payments market in an appropriate manner, at the meeting of the Board of Directors on March 25, 2019. The consumer finance subsidiary considered software under development unlikely to have cost reduction effect and remain in use in the future, and reevaluated the profitability of existing software in relation to its system integration plan. As a result, it was determined that carrying amounts of both system software under development and long lived assets group of credit business, including existing system software, land, buildings, and equipment and furniture exceeded their fair values, and ¥87,596 million and ¥28,494 million of impairment losses were recognized on system software under development and existing software, respectively. In computing the amount of impairment losses, the fair value was primarily estimated using an income approach. The income approach is based on the present value of expected cash flows, which represents market participant perspective. In addition to the impairments on software, ¥21,096 million of impairment losses on long-lived assets, including land, buildings, and equipment and furniture, were recognized.

The MUFG Group files tax returns on a consolidated basis for corporate income taxes within Japan. A consolidated basis for corporate income taxes results in the reporting of taxable income or loss based upon the combined profits or losses of the parent company and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.
In the United States of America, on December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act was signed into law reducing the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, the MUFG Group revalued its net deferred tax liabilities at March 31, 2018, resulting in a
one-time
tax benefit of ¥10,395 million.Reconciliation of Effective Income Tax Rate
Income taxes in Japan applicable to the MUFG Group are imposed by the national, prefectural and municipal governments, and in the aggregate resulted in a normal effective statutory rate of approximately 30.6%, 30.6%, and 30.6% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Foreign subsidiaries are subject to income taxes of the countries in which they operate.

The valuation allowance was provided primarily against deferred tax assets recorded at MUFG and its subsidiaries with operating loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance is determined to reduce the measurement of deferred tax assets not expected to be realized. Management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether the valuation allowance is necessary based on the weight of that evidence. Management determines the amount of the valuation allowance based on future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences. Future taxable income is developed from forecasted operating results, based on recent historical trends and approved business plans, the eligible carryforward periods and other relevant factors.
For certain subsidiaries where strong negative evidence exists, such as the existence of significant amounts of operating loss carryforwards, cumulative losses and the expiration of unused operating loss carryforwards in recent years, a valuation allowance was recognized against the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2019 and 2020 to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will not be realized.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the MUFG Group released a valuation allowance of ¥53,360
million which was mainly due to the commencement of a certain subsidiary’s application of the
F-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
consolidated
corporate-tax
system. Management believes that the net operating loss carryforwards related to Japanese corporate taxes will be fully utilized by the application of the consolidatedcorporate-tax
system.Furthermore, under the Japanese tax law, 95% of a dividend received
from
a foreign company in which a domestic company has held generally at least 25% of the outstanding shares for a continuous period ofsix months or more ending on the date on which the dividend is declared can be excluded from the domestic company’s taxable income. Therefore, if undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries are repatriated through dividends,
only
5% of the amount of dividends will be included in
taxableincome.
Operating Loss and Tax Credit Carryforwards
At March 31, 2020, the MUFG Group had operating loss carryforwards for corporate tax of ¥228,637 million and tax credit carryforwards of ¥72,360 million for tax purposes. Such carryforwards, if not utilized, are scheduled to expire as follows:

The MUFG Group is subject to ongoing tax examinations by the tax authorities of the various jurisdictions in which it operates. The following are the major tax jurisdictions in which the MUFG Group operates and the status of years under audit or open to examination:

The MUFG Group is currently under continuous examinations by the tax authorities in various domestic and foreign jurisdictions and many of these examinations are resolved every year. The unrecognized tax benefits will decrease since resolved items will be removed from the balance regardless of whether their resolution results in payment or recognition. It is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately ¥2.4 billion during the next twelve months.

Other short-term borrowings and long-term debt | 22,312,888 | |||
Other | 16,515 | |||
Total | ¥ | 37,750,681 | ||
At March 31, 2020, certain investment securities, principally Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds, loans, and other assets with a combined carrying value of ¥18,254,788 million were pledged for acting as a collection agent of public funds, for settlement of exchange at the Bank of Japan and Japanese Banks’ Payment Clearing Network, for derivative transactions and for certain other purposes.
The MUFG Group engages in
on-balance
sheet securitizations. These securitizations of mortgage and apartment loans, which do not qualify for sales treatment, are accounted for as secured borrowings. The amount of loans in the table above represents the carrying amount of these transactions with the carrying amount of the associated liabilities included in Other short-term borrowings and Long-term debt.Under Japanese law, Japanese banks are required to maintain certain reserves on deposit with the Bank of Japan based on the amount of deposit balances and certain other factors. There are similar reserve deposit requirements for foreign offices and subsidiaries engaged in banking businesses in foreign countries. At March 31, 2019 and 2020 the reserve funds required to be maintained by the MUFG Group, which are included in Cash and due from banks and Interest-earning deposits in other banks, were ¥2,568,340 million and ¥2,606,464 million, respectively.
Collateral
The MUFG Group accepts and provides financial assets as collateral for transactions, principally commercial loans, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions, call money, and derivatives. Financial assets eligible for such collateral include, among others, marketable equity securities, trade and notes receivable and CDs.
Secured parties, including creditors and counterparties to certain transactions with the MUFG Group, may sell or repledge financial assets provided as collateral. Certain contracts, however, may not be specific about the secured party’s right to sell or repledge collateral under the applicable statutes and, therefore, whether or not the secured party is permitted to sell or repledge collateral would differ depending on the interpretations of specific provisions of the existing statutes, contract or certain market practices.
If the MUFG Group determines, based on available information, that a financial asset provided as collateral might not be sold or repledged by the secured parties, such collateral is not separately reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If a secured party is permitted to sell or repledge financial assets provided as collateral by contract or custom under the existing statutes, the MUFG Group reports such pledged financial assets separately on the face of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2020, the MUFG Group pledged ¥36,223 billion of assets that may not be sold or repledged by the secured
parties.
Certain banking subsidiaries accept collateral for commercial loans and certain banking transactions under a standardized agreement with customers, which provides that these banking subsidiaries may require the
F-
7
8
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
customers to provide collateral or guarantees with respect to the loans and other banking transactions. Financial assets pledged as collateral are generally negotiable and transferable instruments, and such negotiability and transferability are authorized by applicable legislation. In principle, Japanese legislation permits these banking subsidiaries to repledge financial assets accepted as collateral unless otherwise prohibited by contract or relevant statutes. Nevertheless, the MUFG Group did not sell or repledge nor does it plan to sell or repledge such collateral accepted in connection with commercial loans before a debtor’s default or other credit events specified in the agreements as it is not customary within the banking industry in Japan to dispose of collateral before a debtor’s default and other specified credit events. Derivative agreements commonly used in the marketplace do not prohibit a secured party’s disposition of financial assets received as collateral, and in resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions, securities accepted as collateral may be sold or repledged by the secured parties. At March 31, 2019 and 2020, the fair value of the collateral accepted by the MUFG Group that is permitted to be sold or repledged was ¥22,927 billion and ¥38,858 billion, respectively, of which ¥16,514 billion and ¥32,095 billion, respectively, was sold or repledged.
At March 31, 2019 and 2020, the cash collateral pledged for derivative transactions, which is included in Other assets, was ¥1,276,897 million and ¥1,696,108 million, respectively, and the cash collateral received for derivative transactions, which is included in Other liabilities, was ¥844,234 million and ¥1,125,305 million, respectively.

12. | DUE TO TRUST ACCOUNT, SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT |
Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking holds assets on behalf of its customers in an agent, fiduciary or trust capacity. Such trust account assets are not the MUFG Group’s proprietary assets and are managed and accounted for separately.
However, excess cash funds of individual trust accounts are often placed with Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking which manages the funds together with its own funds in its proprietary account. Due to trust account reflects a temporary placement of the excess funds from individual trust accounts and, in view of the MUFG Group’s funding, due to trust account is similar to short-term funding, including demand deposits and other overnight funds purchased. The balance changes in response to the
day-to-day
changes in the excess funds placed by the trust accounts. A summary of due to trust account transactions at March 31, 2019 and 2020 is as follows:2019 | 2020 | |||||||

Defined Benefit Pension Plans
The MUFG Group has funded
non-contributory
defined benefit pension plans, which cover substantially all of its employees and mainly provide for lifetime annuity payments commencing at age 65 (“pension benefits”) based on eligible compensation at the time of severance, rank, years of service and other factors.MUFG Bank and certain domestic subsidiaries, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings, Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS and some subsidiaries of MUFG have
non-contributory
Corporate Defined Benefit Pension plans which provide benefits to all their domestic employees.The MUFG Group also offers qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans in foreign offices and subsidiaries for their employees. The qualified plans are
non-contributory
defined pension plans, whichF-
83
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
provide benefits upon retirement based on years of service and
average
compensation and cover substantially all of the employees of such foreign offices and subsidiaries. With respect to the offices and subsidiaries in the United States of America, the qualified plans are funded on a current basis in compliance with the requirement of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of the United States of America. The nonqualified plans arenon-contributory
defined benefit pension plans, under which certain employees earn pay and interest credits on compensation amounts above the maximum stipulated by applicable laws under the qualified plans.Severance Indemnities Plans
The MUFG Group has SIPs under which their employees in Japan, other than those who are directors, are entitled, under most circumstances, upon mandatory retirement at normal retirement age or earlier termination of employment, to
lump-sum
severance indemnities based on eligible compensation at the time of severance, rank, years of service and other factors. Under SIPs, benefit payments in the form of alump-sum
cash payment with no option to receive annuity payments, upon mandatory retirement at normal retirement age or earlier termination of employment, are provided. When a benefit is paid in a single payment to a benefit payee under the plans, the payment represents final relief of the obligation.Other Postretirement Plans
The MUFG Group’s foreign offices and subsidiaries, primarily in the United States of America, provide their employees with certain postretirement medical and life insurance benefits (“other benefits”).

Investment policies
MUFG’s investment policy for plan assets is based on an asset liability matching strategy which is intended to maintain adequate liquidity for benefit payments and to achieve a stable increase in the plan assets in the medium and long-term through proper risk control and return maximization. As a general rule, investment policies for plan assets are reviewed periodically for some plans and in the following situations for all plans:

(1) large fluctuations in pension plan liabilities caused by modifications to pension plans, or (2) changes in the market environment. The plan assets allocation strategies are the principal determinant in achieving expected investment returns on the plan assets. Actual asset allocations may fluctuate within acceptable ranges due to market value variability. Plan assets are managed by a combination of internal and external asset management companies and are rebalanced when market fluctuations cause an asset category to fall outside of its strategic asset allocation range. Performance of each plan asset category is compared
against
established indices and similar plan asset groups to evaluate whether the risk associated with the portfolio is appropriate for the level of return.The weighted-average target asset allocation of plan assets for the pension benefits and other benefits at March 31, 2020 was as follows:
Domestic subsidiaries | Foreign offices and subsidiaries | |||||||||||
Asset category | Pension benefits and SIP | Pension benefits | Other benefits | |||||||||
Japanese equity securities | 35.9 | % | 0.4 | % | — | % | ||||||
Japanese debt securities | 33.6 | — | — | |||||||||
Non-Japanese equity securities | 15.0 | 49.2 | 70.0 | |||||||||

Short-term assets | 3.7 | 1.7 | — | |||||||||
Total | 100.0 | % | 100.0 | % | 100.0 | % | ||||||
Basis and procedure for estimating long-term return of each asset category
MUFG’s expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for domestic defined benefit pension plans and SIPs is based on a building-block methodology, which calculates the total long-term rate of return of the plan assets by aggregating the weighted rate of return derived from both long-term historical performance and forward-looking return expectations from each asset category.
MUFG has determined the expected long-term rate of return for each asset category as follows:
• | Japanese equity securities: the rate for Japanese debt securities plus a premium for the risk associated with Japanese equity securities |
• | Japanese debt securities: economic growth rate of Japan |
• | Non-Japanese equity securities: the rate fornon-Japanese debt securities plus a premium for the risk associated withnon-Japanese equity securities |
• | Non-Japanese debt securities: global economic growth rate |
Foreign offices and subsidiaries periodically reconsider the expected long-term rate of return for their plan assets. They evaluate the investment return volatility of different asset categories and compare the liability structure of their pension and other benefits to those of other companies, while considering their funding policy to maintain a funded status sufficient to meet participants’ benefit obligations, and reduce long-term funding requirements and pension costs. Based on this information, foreign offices and subsidiaries update the expected long-term rate of return.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for plan assets measured at fair value as well as the classification of the plan assets pursuant to the fair value hierarchy described in Note
31
.
Government bonds and other debt securities
When quoted prices are available in an active market, the MUFG Group adopts the quoted prices to measure the fair value of securities and such securities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 securities include Japanese government bonds, most
non-Japanese
government bonds and certain corporate bonds. When quoted prices are available but not traded actively, such securities are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When quoted prices are not available, the MUFG Group generally estimates fair values by usingnon-binding
prices obtained from independent pricing vendors. Such securities are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 securities include certainnon-Japanese
government bonds, official institution bonds and corporate bonds. When there is lack of liquidity for securities or significant inputs adopted to the fair value measurements are unobservable, such securities are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such Level 3 securities mainly consist ofnon-Japanese
corporate bonds.Marketable equity securities
When quoted prices are available in an active market, the MUFG Group adopts the quoted prices to measure the fair value of marketable equity securities and such securities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When quoted prices are available but not traded actively, such securities are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Japanese pooled funds
Japanese pooled funds are investment fund vehicles designed for Japanese pension plan investments under Japanese pension trust fund regulations. Based upon the nature of the funds’ investments, Japanese pooled funds are categorized into four major fund types: Japanese marketable equity securities type, Japanese debt securities type,
Non-Japanese
marketable equity securities type andNon-Japanese
debt securities type. The other types ofF-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
funds invest in short-term financial instruments or loans receivable. Japanese pooled funds are generally readily redeemable at their net asset values. The fair values of Japanese pooled funds are measured at their net asset values per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient.
Other investment funds
Other investment funds include mutual funds, private investments funds, common collective funds, private equity funds and real estate funds. The listed investment funds or mutual funds are valued at quoted prices and classified in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When there is no available market quotation, the fair values are generally determined at net asset values per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. Other investment funds classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy consist of certain real estate funds whose fair values are not
measured
at their net asset values but by using significant unobservable inputs and there is inherent lack of the funds’ liquidity.Japanese general accounts of life insurance companies
These instruments are contracts with life insurance companies that guarantee return of a certain level of fixed income, which are mainly invested in assets with low market risk such as Japanese debt securities. They are measured at conversion value and classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Other investments
Other investments mainly consist of call loans and the rest consist of miscellaneous accounts such as deposits with banks and short-term investments. These instruments are generally classified in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on observability of the inputs to measure their fair values.
The following table presents the fair value of each major category of plan assets as of March 31, 2019 and 2020:

The following tables present, as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, the gross and net amounts of derivatives, resale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions, including the related gross amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement not offset in the consolidated balance sheets. The MUFG Group primarily enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association master netting agreements, master repurchase agreements and master securities lending agreements or similar agreements for derivative contracts, resale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions. In the event of default on or termination of any one contract, these agreements provide the contracting parties with the right to net a counterparty’s rights and obligations and to liquidate and setoff collateral against any net amount owed by the counterparty. Generally, as the MUFG Group has elected to present such amounts on a gross basis, the amounts subject to these agreements are included in “Gross amounts not offset in the consolidated balance sheet” column in the tabular disclosure below. For certain transactions where a legal opinion with respect to the enforceability of netting has not been sought or obtained, the related amounts are not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and not included in “Gross amounts not offset in the consolidated balance sheet” column in the tabular disclosure below.

The following tables present gross obligations for payables under repurchase agreements, payables under securities lending transactions and obligations to return securities received as collateral by remaining contractual maturity and class of collateral pledged at March 31, 2019 and 2020. Potential risks associated with these arrangements primarily relate to market and liquidity risks. To manage risks associated with market exposure, the MUFG Group generally revalues the collateral underlying its repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions on a daily basis and monitors the value of the underlying securities, consisting of primarily high-quality securities such as Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds, and foreign government and official institution bonds. In the event the market value of such securities falls below the related agreements at contract amounts plus accrued interest, the MUFG Group may be required to deposit additional collateral when appropriate. To address liquidity risks, the MUFG Group conducts stress tests to ensure the adequate level of liquidity is maintained in the event of a decline in the fair value of any collateral pledged.

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation, MUFG had been authorized to issue 400,000,000 shares of Class 5 Preferred Stock, 200,000,000 shares of Class 6 Preferred Stock, and 200,000,000 shares of Class 7 Preferred Stock without par value as of March 31, 2020.
All classes of preferred stock are
non-voting
and have preference over common stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of a liquidation or dissolution of MUFG. They are allnon-cumulative
andnon-participating
with respect to dividend payments. Shareholders of all classes of preferred stock have the right to receive a liquidation distribution at ¥2,500 and do not have the right to participate in any further liquidation distributions.As of March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, there was no preferred stock outstanding and the entire amount of Capital stock on the consolidated balance sheets consisted of only common stock.
18. | COMMON STOCK AND CAPITAL SURPLUS |
The changes in the number of issued shares of common stock during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were as follows:
2018 | 2019 | 2020 | ||||||||||
(shares) | ||||||||||||
Balance at beginning of fiscal year | 14,168,853,820 | 13,900,028,020 | 13,667,770,520 | |||||||||

Balance at end of fiscal year | 13,900,028,020 | 13,667,770,520 | 13,581,995,120 | |||||||||
Under the Companies Act, issuances of common stock, including conversions of bonds and notes, are required to be credited to the common stock account for at least 50% of the proceeds and to the legal capital surplus account (“legal capital surplus”) for the remaining amounts.
The Companies Act permits Japanese companies, upon approval by the Board of Directors, to issue shares in the form of a “stock split,” as defined in the Companies Act. Also, prior to April 1, 1991, Japanese companies were permitted to issue free share distributions. MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking from time to time made free share distributions. These free distributions usually ranged from 5% to 10% of outstanding common stock and publicly-owned corporations in the United States issuing shares in similar transactions would be required to account for them as stock dividends as of the shareholders’ record date by reducing retained earnings and increasing the appropriate capital accounts by an amount equal to the fair value of the shares issued. The application of such U.S. accounting practices to the cumulative free distributions made by MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking at March 31, 2020, would have increased capital accounts by ¥1,910,106 million with a corresponding decrease in unappropriated retained earnings.
The Companies Act permits that common stock, legal reserve, additional
paid-in
capital, and other capital surplus and retained earnings can be transferred among these accounts under certain conditions upon the approval of a shareholders’ meeting. The Companies Act limits the increase ofpaid-in
capital in case disposition of treasury stock and issuance of common stock are performed at the same time.As for Capital surplus, the fee retained by MUFG’s subsidiary as underwriting compensation, net of stock issuance expense, was included in the total Capital surplus balance.

Treasury Stock
The Companies Act permits Japanese companies to effect purchases of their own shares pursuant to a resolution by the shareholders at an annual general meeting until the conclusion of the following ordinary general meeting of shareholders, and to hold such shares as their treasury stock indefinitely regardless of purpose. However, the Companies Act requires the amount of treasury stock purchased should be within the amount of retained earnings available for dividends. Disposition of treasury stock is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors and is to follow the procedures similar to a public offering of shares for subscription.
From May 16, 2017 to June 21, 2017 MUFG repurchased 141,158,900 shares of MUFG’s common stock by market purchases based on the discretionary dealing contract regarding repurchase of own shares for approximately ¥100 billion in aggregate in satisfaction of the resolution adopted at the meeting of the Board of Directors of MUFG held on May 15, 2017.

19. | RETAINED EARNINGS, LEGAL RESERVE AND DIVIDENDS |
In addition to the Companies Act, Japanese banks, including MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, are required to comply with the Banking Law of Japan (the “Banking Law”).
Legal Reserve Set Aside as Appropriation of Retained Earnings and Legal Capital Surplus
Under the Companies Act
The Companies Act provides that an amount at least equal to 10% of the aggregate amount of cash dividends and certain appropriations of retained earnings associated with cash outlays applicable to each period shall be appropriated and set aside as a legal reserve until the aggregate amount of legal reserve set aside as an appropriation of retained earnings and the legal capital surplus equals 25% of stated capital as defined in the Companies Act.
Under the Banking Law
The Banking Law provides that an amount at least equal to 20% of the aggregate amount of cash dividends and certain appropriations of retained earnings associated with cash outlays applicable to each fiscal year shall be appropriated and set aside as a legal reserve until the aggregate amount of legal reserve set aside as appropriation of retained earnings and the legal capital surplus equals 100% of stated capital as defined in the Companies Act.
Transfer of Legal Reserve
Under the Companies Act
Under the Companies Act, Japanese companies, including MUFG, were permitted, pursuant to a resolution by the shareholders at a general meeting, to make legal reserve set aside as appropriation of retained earnings and legal capital surplus available for dividends until the aggregate amount of the legal reserve and legal capital surplus equals 25% of stated capital as defined in the Companies Act.
Under the Companies Act, Japanese companies, including MUFG, MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, are permitted, primarily pursuant to a resolution by the shareholders at a general meeting, to transfer legal capital surplus and legal reserve to stated capital and/or retained earnings without limitations of thresholds, thereby effectively removing the thresholds provided for in the Companies Act and Banking Law at the company’s discretion.

Under the Banking Law
Under the Banking Law, Japanese banks, including MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, were permitted, pursuant to a resolution by the shareholders at a general meeting, to set aside a legal reserve as an appropriation of retained earnings and legal capital surplus available for dividends until the aggregate amount of the legal reserve and legal capital surplus equals 100% of stated capital as defined in the Companies Act.
Unappropriated Retained Earnings and Dividends
In addition to the provision that requires an appropriation for legal reserve as described above, the Companies Act and the Banking Law impose certain limitations on the amount available for dividends.
Under the Companies Act, the amount available for dividends is based on the amount recorded in MUFG’s general books of account maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”). The adjustments included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements but not recorded in MUFG’s general books of account, as explained in Note 1, have no effect on the determination of retained earnings available for dividends under the Companies Act. Under the Banking Law, MUFG, MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking have to meet the minimum capital adequacy requirements and distributions of retained earnings of MUFG, MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, which are otherwise distributable to shareholders, are restricted in order to maintain the minimum capital requirements.
MUFG, formerly known as Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, was established on April 2, 2001 with common stock of ¥924,400 million, preferred stock of ¥222,100 million, legal capital surplus of ¥2,838,693 million and no retained earnings in accordance with the Commercial Code of Japan (“the Code”), which was replaced by the Companies Act, and Japanese GAAP.
On October 1, 2005, MUFG started with common stock and preferred stock of ¥1,383,052 million, a legal capital surplus of ¥3,577,570 million and retained earnings of ¥757,458 million in accordance with the Code and Japanese GAAP.
MUFG’s amount available for dividends, at March 31, 2020, was ¥4,298,735 million, which is based on the amount recorded in MUFG’s general books of account under Japanese GAAP.
Annual dividends, including those for preferred stock, are approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting held subsequent to the fiscal year to which the dividends are applicable. In addition, a semi-annual interim dividend payment may be made by resolution of the Board of Directors, subject to limitations imposed by the Companies Act and the Banking Law.
In the accompanying consolidated statements of equity, dividends and appropriations to legal reserve shown for each fiscal year represent dividends approved and paid during the fiscal year and the related appropriation to legal reserve.

21. | REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS |
Japan
MUFG, MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings are subject to various regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the regulatory authorities of the countries in which they operate. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements will initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on MUFG’s consolidated financial statements.
In Japan, MUFG, MUFG Bank, and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking are subject to regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the Financial Services Agency of Japan (“FSA”) in accordance with the provisions of the Banking Law and related regulations. A banking institution is subject to the minimum capital requirements both on a consolidated basis and a stand-alone basis, and is required to maintain the minimum capital irrespective of whether it operates independently or as a subsidiary under the control of another company. When a bank holding company manages operations of its banking subsidiaries, it is required to maintain the minimum capital adequacy ratio on a consolidated basis in the same manner as its subsidiary banks. The FSA provides two sets of capital adequacy guidelines. One is a set of guidelines applicable to Japanese banks and bank holding companies with their foreign offices conducting international operations, as defined, and the other is applicable to Japanese banks and bank holding companies that are not engaged in international operations conducted by their foreign offices.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“BCBS”) of the Bank for International Settlements (“BIS”) sets capital adequacy standards for all internationally active banks to ensure minimum levels of capital.
The Basel Committee revised the 1988 Accord (“Basel I”) in June 2004 and released “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework” (“Basel II”). In addition, the Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision reached an agreement on the new global regulatory framework, which has been referred to as “Basel III,” in July and September 2010. In December 2010, the Basel Committee agreed on the details of the Basel III rules. Effective as of March 31, 2013, Basel III was adopted by the FSA with transitional measures for Japanese banking institutions with international operations
conducted by their foreign offices. MUFG calculated capital ratios as of March 31, 2019 and 2020 in accordance with Basel III.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Capital Ratios
Basel III, the same as Basel II, is based on “three pillars”: (1) minimum capital requirements, (2) the self-regulation of financial institutions based on supervisory review process, and (3) market discipline through the disclosure of information. The framework of the 1988 Accord, Basel I is improved and expanded to be included in “minimum capital requirements” as the first pillar of Basel II and Basel III.
As for the denominator of the capital ratio, the Basel framework provides the following risk-based approaches and a range of options for determining risk-weighted assets.
“Credit Risk”
The Basel framework provides options for determining the risk-weighted assets for credit risk to allow banks to select approaches that are most appropriate for their level of risk assessment. Banks choose one of three approaches: “Standardized Approach,” “Foundation Internal Ratings-Based Approach” or “Advanced Internal Ratings-Based Approach (“AIRB”).”
“Market Risk”
In the “Amendment to the Capital Accord to incorporate market risks” of the year 1996, a choice between two methodologies “the Standardized Measurement Method” and “Internal Models Approach” is permitted. “Combination of Internal Models Approach and the Standardized Measurement Method” is also allowed under certain conditions. This is unchanged in Basel III.
“Operational Risk”
Operational risk, which is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events, is newly added in Basel II. The Basel framework presents three methods for calculating operational risk capital charges: (i) the Basic Indicator Approach; (ii) the Standardized Approach; or (iii) Advanced Measurement Approaches (“AMA”). Banks adopt one of the three approaches to determine the risk-weighted assets for operational risk.
Banks need to obtain approval from their supervisors prior to adopting the following approaches to calculate capital requirements for each risk:
• | the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based Approach for credit risk |
• | the Internal Models Approach for market risk |
• | the Standardized Approach and AMA for operational risk |
With approval from the FSA, MUFG and most of its major subsidiaries adopt AIRB to calculate capital requirements for credit risk, adopt the AMA to calculate capital requirements for operational risk, as for market risk, adopt the Internal Models Approach mainly to calculate general market risk and adopt the Standardized Measurement Method to calculate specific risk.
The MUFG Group’s proprietary assets do not include trust assets under management and administration in a capacity of agent or fiduciary and, accordingly trust account assets are generally not included in the capital measure. However, guarantees for trust principal are counted as
off-balance
sheet items requiring a capital charge in accordance with the capital adequacy guidelines.F-

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Under Basel III, as adopted by the FSA, MUFG’s risk-weighted assets increased, largely reflecting the new capital charge of the credit valuation adjustment (CVA), the credit risk related to asset value correlation multiplier for large financial institutions, and the 250% risk-weighted threshold items not deducted from Common Equity Tier 1 capital, as well as the conversion of certain Basel II capital deductions to risk-weighted assets, such as securitizations.
On the other hand, as for the numerator of the capital ratio, there are three primary regulatory capital ratios used to assess capital adequacy, Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, which are determined by dividing applicable capital components by risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists of Common Equity Tier 1 capital and Additional Tier 1 capital. Common Equity Tier 1 capital is primarily consisting of common stock, capital surplus, retained earnings, and Accumulated OCI. Regulatory adjustments including certain intangible fixed assets, such as goodwill, and defined-benefit pension fund assets, are made to Common Equity Tier 1. Additional Tier 1 capital generally consists of Basel III compliant preferred securities, and during the transition period, other capital that meets Tier 1 requirements under Basel II standards.
Tier 2 capital generally consists of Basel III compliant subordinated debts, capital that meets Tier 2 requirements under Basel II standards during the transition period, certain allowances for credit losses, and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries’ Tier 2 instruments. Total capital is defined as the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
Effective March 31, 2016, the FSA’s capital conservation buffer, countercyclical buffer and the Global Systematically Important Bank
(“G-SIB”),
as designated by the FSB, surcharge requirements became applicable to Japanese banking institutions with international operations conducted through foreign offices. The requirements had been phased in and fully implemented as of March 31, 2019. In addition to the 4.50% minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, MUFG is required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of2.5
% and a
G-SIB
surcharge of1.5
% as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, and a countercyclical buffer of
0.04%
and
0.01% as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Leverage Ratios
The leverage ratio is designed for monitoring and preventing the
build-up
of excessive leverage in the banking sector and is expressed as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to both on andoff-balance
sheet assets adjusted in accordance with the FSA guidance. In December 2017, the Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision announced final Basel III reforms. The announced reforms include revisions to the measurement of the leverage ratio and a 3% minimum leverage ratio requirement, plus aG-SIB
leverage ratio buffer equal to 50% of the applicableG-SIB
capital surcharge. The announcement sets forth implementation dates of January 1, 2018 for the minimum leverage ratio requirement and January 1, 2022 for theG-SIB
leverage ratio buffer requirement. Effective as of March 31, 2019, the minimum leverage ratio requirement was adopted by the FSA.F-

Notes:
(1) | Effective March 31, 2016, the FSA’s capital conservation buffer, countercyclical buffer and G-SIB surcharge requirements became applicable to Japanese banking institutions with international operations conducted through foreign offices. As a result, in addition to the 4.50% minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, MUFG is required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% and aG-SIB surcharge of 1.5% as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, and the countercyclical buffer of 0.04% and 0.01% as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. |
(2) | Effective as of March 31, 2019, the minimum leverage ratio requirement was adopted by the FSA. |
Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities and other securities subsidiaries in Japan and overseas are also subject to regulatory capital requirements of the countries or jurisdictions in which they operate. In Japan, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and related ordinance require financial instruments firms to maintain a minimum capital ratio of 120% calculated as a percentage of capital accounts less certain fixed assets, as determined in accordance with Japanese GAAP, against amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operational risks. Specific guidelines are issued as a ministerial ordinance which details the definition of essential components of the capital ratios, including capital, deductible fixed asset items and risks, and related measures. Failure to maintain a minimum capital ratio will trigger mandatory regulatory actions. A capital ratio of less than 140% will call for regulatory reporting and a capital ratio of less than 100% may lead to a suspension of all or part of the business for a period of time and cancellation of a registration.

At March 31, 2019, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities’s capital accounts less certain fixed assets of ¥446,609 million on a stand-alone basis and ¥469,272 million on a consolidated basis, were 331.6% and 332.2% of the total amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operational risks, respectively. At March 31, 2020, its capital accounts less certain fixed assets of ¥440,520 million on a stand-alone basis and ¥465,343 million on a consolidated basis, were 313.0% and 316.2% of the total amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operational risks, respectively.
Management believes, as of March 31, 2020, that MUFG, MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities and other regulated securities subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
United States of America
In the United States of America, MUFG Americas Holdings and its banking subsidiary MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (“MUFG Union Bank” or “BK(US)”), MUFG Bank’s largest subsidiaries operating outside Japan, are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the U. S. Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on MUFG Americas Holdings’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, MUFG Americas Holdings and MUFG Union Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of MUFG Americas Holdings’s and MUFG Union Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance
sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. MUFG Americas Holdings’s capital amounts and MUFG Union Bank’s prompt corrective action classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies such as MUFG Americas Holdings. MUFG Union Bank is subject to laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividends MUFG Union Bank can pay to MUFG Americas Holdings.Quantitative measures established by regulation to help ensure capital adequacy require MUFG Americas Holdings and MUFG Union Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the tables below) of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to quarterly average assets (as defined).
In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the other U.S. Federal banking agencies adopted final rules making significant changes to the U.S. regulatory capital framework for U.S. banking organizations (U.S. Basel III). The final rules are intended to conform this framework to the BCBS’ current international regulatory capital accord (Basel III). These rules replace the U.S. Federal banking agencies’ general risk-based capital rules (commonly known as “Basel I”), advanced approaches rules (commonly known as “Basel II”) that are applicable to certain large banking organizations (including MUFG Union Bank), and leverage rules, and are subject to certain transition provisions. Among other requirements, the U.S. Basel III rules revise the definition of capital, increase minimum capital ratios, and introduce a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% and a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% (for a total minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%) and a potential countercyclical buffer of up to 2.5%, which would be imposed by regulators at their discretion if it is determined that a period of excessive credit growth is contributing to an increase in financial institution systemic risk; mandate a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% and introduce, for large and internationally active bank holding companies, a Tier 1 Supplementary Leverage Ratio that is currently set at 3% and which incorporates
off-balance
sheet exposures; revise Basel I rules for calculating risk-weighted assets under a standardized approach; modify the existing Basel II advanced approaches rules for calculatingF-1

risk-weighted assets under U.S. Basel III; and eliminate, for advanced approaches institutions, over a four-year
phase-in
period beginning on January 1, 2014, the Accumulated OCI or loss exclusion that had applied under Basel I and Basel II rules.As a result of the Federal Reserve’s approval of MUFG Americas Holdings’s request to opt out of the advanced approaches methodology in the fourth quarter of 2014, MUFG Americas Holdings calculated its regulatory capital ratios under U.S. Basel I rules at December 31, 2014 and became subject to the U.S. Basel III standardized approach on January 1, 2015, with certain provisions subject to
phase-in
periods. As permitted for institutions not subject to the advanced approaches methodology, MUFG Americas Holdings made aone-time
permanent election in the first quarter of 2015 to exclude certain components of the Accumulated OCI from its regulatory capital calculations. MUFG Union Bank continues to be subject to the advanced approaches rules. Advanced approaches institutions were required to apply U.S. Basel III rules beginning on January 1, 2014. The U.S. Basel III rules are scheduled to be substantially phased in by January 1, 2019. Effective June 30, 2015, MUFG Americas Holdings updated the methodologies applied to the calculation of its regulatory capital ratios due to recent regulatory guidance, which clarified the treatment of certainoff-balance
sheet credit exposures. These methodologies were applied to MUFG Americas Holdings’s capital ratios and increased the ratios by approximately 50 basis points. This change did not affect MUFG Union Bank’s ratios as the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) had previously adopted this guidance.As required under U.S. Basel III rules, the 2.5% capital conservation buffer is being implemented on a
phased-in
basis in equal increments of 0.625% per year over a four-year period that commenced on January 1, 2016. MUFG Americas Holdings and MUFG Union Bank would satisfy the minimum capital requirements including the capital conservation buffer on a fullyphased-in
basis if those requirements were effective as of December 31, 2019.The figures on the table below are calculated according to U.S. Basel III as of December 31, 2018 and 2019. MUFG Americas Holdings’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented as follows:

23. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The MUFG Group uses various derivative financial instruments both for trading purposes and for purposes other than trading (primarily risk management purposes) in the normal course of business to
meet
the financial needs of its customers, as a source of revenue and to manage its exposures to a variety of risks.Market risk is the possibility that future changes in market indices make the financial instruments less valuable. The MUFG Group is a party to derivative financial instruments, including swaps, forwards, options and
F-1
14
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
other types of derivatives, dealing primarily with market risk associated with interest rates, foreign currencies, equity and commodity prices, and credit risk associated with counterparty’s nonperformance of transactions.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may result from a counterparty’s failure to perform according to the terms and conditions of the contract, which may exceed the value of underlying collateral. To reduce credit risk, the MUFG Group may require collateral or guarantees based on a
case-by-case
assessment of creditworthiness of each customer and evaluation of the instrument. The MUFG Group also uses master netting agreements in order to mitigate overall counterparty credit risk.Trading Activities
The MUFG Group’s trading activities include dealing and customer accommodation activities. As part of its trading activities, the MUFG Group offers a variety of derivative financial instruments for managing interest rate and foreign exchange risk to its domestic and foreign corporate and financial institution customers. The MUFG Group also enters into other types of derivative transactions, including equity and credit-related contracts, for its own account.
Risk Management Activities
As part of the MUFG Group’s risk management activities, asset and liability management is viewed as one of the methods for the MUFG Group to manage its interest rate exposures on interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The MUFG Group uses certain derivative financial instruments in order to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. For example, an increase or a decrease in interest income and interest expense on hedged variable rate assets and liabilities as a result of interest rate fluctuations are expected to be substantially offset by the variability in earnings by gains and losses on the derivative instruments that are linked to these hedged assets and liabilities.
The MUFG Group enters into interest rate swaps and other contracts primarily to manage the interest rate risk of its loans, investment securities and deposit liabilities. Interest rate contracts, which are generally
non-leveraged
generic interest rate and basis swaps, options and futures, allow the MUFG Group to effectively manage its interest rate risk position. Option contracts primarily consist of caps, floors, swaptions and options on index futures. Futures contracts used for asset and liability management activities are primarily index futures providing for cash payments based upon the movement of an underlying rate index.The MUFG Group enters into forward exchange contracts, currency swaps and other contracts in response to currency exposures resulting from
on-balance
sheet assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in order to limit the net foreign exchange position by currency to an appropriate level.Derivatives Designated as Hedges
The MUFG Group adopts hedging strategies and applies hedge accounting to certain derivative transactions entered mainly by MUFG Americas Holdings whose fiscal period ends on December 31.
Cash Flow Hedges
From time to time, MUFG Americas Holdings uses interest rate derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated interest rate on LIBOR indexed loans, and to a lesser extent, to hedge interest rate risk on rollover debt.
F-1

5
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
MUFG Americas Holdings used interest rate derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of ¥1,457.1 billion at December 31, 2019 to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated interest rates from variable rate loans. MUFG Americas Holdings used interest rate derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of ¥7.6 billion at December 31, 2019 to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated interest rate on LIBOR indexed short-term borrowings. At December 31, 2019, the weighted average remaining life of the active cash flow hedges was 3.1 years.
For cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows are recognized in net interest income. At December 31, 2019, MUFG Americas Holdings expects to reclassify approximately ¥7.3
billion of losses from Accumulated OCI as a reduction to net interest income during the twelve months
ending December 31, 2020. This amount could differ from amounts actually realized due to changes in interest rates, hedge terminations and the addition of other hedges subsequent to December 31, 2019.
Fair Value Hedges
MUFG Americas Holdings engaged in an interest rate hedging strategy in which one or more interest rate derivatives were associated with a specified interest bearing liability, in order to convert the liability from a fixed rate to a floating rate instrument. This strategy mitigated the changes in fair value of the hedged liability caused by changes in the designated interest rate, LIBOR.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, MUFG Americas Holdings recorded losses on the hedging instruments and gains on the hedged liability, both of which were less than ¥1 billion. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, MUFG Americas Holdings did not have any fair value hedges.

Credit Derivatives
The MUFG Group enters into credit derivatives to manage its credit risk exposure, to facilitate client transactions, and for proprietary trading purposes, under which they provide the counterparty protection against the risk of default on a set of debt obligations issued by a specified reference entity or entities. Types of such credit derivatives primarily include single name credit default swaps, index and basket credit default swaps. The MUFG Group will have to perform under a credit derivative if a credit event as defined under the contract occurs. Such credit events include bankruptcy, dissolution or insolvency of the referenced entity, default and restructuring of the obligations of the referenced entity. The MUFG Group’s counterparties are banks, broker-dealers, insurance and other financial institutions. The contractual or notional amounts of these credit derivatives represent the maximum potential amounts of future payments without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
The MUFG Group may economically hedge its exposure to credit derivatives by entering into offsetting derivative contracts. The carrying value and notional amounts of credit protection sold in which the MUFG Group held purchased protection with identical underlying referenced entities were approximately ¥35 billion and ¥2,687 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2019, and approximately ¥65 billion and ¥3,544 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2020.
Collateral is held by the MUFG Group in relation to these instruments. Collateral requirements are determined at the counterparty level and cover numerous transactions and products as opposed to individual contracts.
Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk and Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
Certain derivative instruments held by the MUFG Group contain provisions that require the MUFG Group’s debt to maintain an investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the MUFG Group’s debt were to fall below investment grade, it would be in violation of these provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request payments on early termination or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position at March 31, 2019 and 2020 was approximately ¥0.6 trillion and ¥0.6 trillion, respectively, for which the MUFG Group has posted collateral of approximately ¥85 billion and ¥152 billion, respectively, in the normal course of business. The amount of additional collateral and early termination amount which could be requested if the MUFG Group’s debt falls below investment grade was ¥84 billion and ¥56 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2019 and ¥58 billion and ¥80 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2020.
2 4 . | OBLIGATIONS UNDER GUARANTEES AND OTHER OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS |
Obligations under Guarantees
The MUFG Group provides customers with a variety of guarantees and similar arrangements, including standby letters of credit, financial and performance guarantees, credit protection, liquidity facilities, other
off-balance
sheet credit-related support and similar instruments, in order to meet the customers’ financial and business needs. The tables below present the contractual or notional amounts of such guarantees at March 31, 2019 and 2020. The contractual or notional amounts of these instruments represent the maximum potential amounts of future payments without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged.For certain types of derivatives, such as written interest rate options and written currency options, the maximum potential future payments are unlimited. Accordingly, it is impracticable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments. As such, the notional amounts of the related contracts, other than the maximum potential payments, are included in the table.
The MUFG Group mitigates its credit risk exposure resulting from guarantees by utilizing various techniques, including collateralization in the form of cash, securities, and real estate properties based on management’s credit assessment of the guaranteed parties and the related credit profile. In order to manage the credit risk exposure, the MUFG Group also enters into
sub-participation
contracts with third parties who will fund a portion of the credit facility and bear its share of the loss to be incurred in the event that the customer fails to fulfill its obligations. The following table includes guarantees of ¥468.9 billion and ¥455.8 billion at March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, which are syndicated out to third parties. The contractual or notionalF-

Nature of Guarantee Contracts
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees generally include an obligation of an issuer or a designated third-party to guarantee the performance of the customer to the beneficiary under the terms of contracts such as lending contracts and other similar financial transactions. The MUFG Group is required to make payments to the guaranteed parties in the event that the customers fail to fulfill the obligations under the contracts. The guarantees whose contractual maturities are over 5 years are mainly comprised of guarantees of housing loans.
Performance guarantees are contracts that contingently require the MUFG Group to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another party’s failure to perform under an obligating agreement, except financial obligation. For example, performance guarantees include guarantees of completion of construction projects.
Derivative instruments that are deemed to be included within the definition of guarantees as prescribed in the guidance on guarantees include certain written options and credit default swaps. In order for the MUFG Group to determine if those derivative instruments meet the definition of guarantees, as prescribed in the guidance on guarantees, the MUFG Group has to track whether the counterparties are actually exposed to losses that will result from the adverse change in the underlyings. Accordingly, the MUFG Group has disclosed information on all credit default swaps and certain written options for which there is a possibility of meeting the definition of guarantees as prescribed in the guidance on guarantees, regardless of whether the counterparties

have assets or liabilities related to the underlyings of the derivatives. However, credit derivatives sold by the MUFG Group at March 31, 2019 and 2020 are excluded from this presentation, as they are disclosed in Note 23.
Liabilities of trust accounts represent the trustee’s potential responsibility for temporary payments to creditors of liabilities of trust accounts making use of funds of the MUFG Group, unless there are certain agreements with trust creditors that have provisions limiting the MUFG Group’s exposure as a trustee to the trust account assets. A trust may incur external liabilities to obtain certain services during the terms of the trust arrangement. While in principle, any liabilities of a trust are payable by the trust account and its beneficiaries. A trustee’s responsibility may be interpreted to encompass temporary payments for the trust account liabilities when the trust account does not maintain sufficient liquidity available for such liabilities unless the agreement with trust creditors limits the trustee’s exposure to the trust account assets. At March 31, 2019 and 2020, there were liabilities of ¥11,520 billion and ¥13,142 billion, respectively, in the segregated records of trust accounts including the amounts related to liabilities with provisions limiting trustee responsibility. Liabilities of trust accounts principally includes obligations to return collateral under security lending transactions. The MUFG Group has experienced no significant losses on such responsibilities and its exposure to the risk associated with the temporary payments is judged to be remote because trust account liabilities are generally covered by the corresponding trust account assets. The MUFG Group continuously monitors the liabilities of trust accounts and assesses the trust account’s ability to perform its obligations to prevent any unfavorable outcomes; the MUFG Group claims its recourse for its temporary payments against the trust account assets and the beneficiaries.
Carrying Amount
At March 31, 2019 and 2020, the carrying amounts of the liabilities related to guarantees and similar instruments set forth above were ¥1,051,297 million and ¥1,130,522 million, respectively, which are included in Other liabilities and Trading account liabilities. The guarantees and similar instruments comprising the largest components of the total were options sold in the amount of ¥1,005,951 million and ¥1,090,921 million as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Credit derivatives sold by the MUFG Group at March 31, 2019 and 2020 are excluded from this presentation, as they are disclosed in Note 2

. In addition, Other liabilities include an allowance foroff-balance
sheet instruments of ¥96,946 million and ¥30,911 million at March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, related to these transactions.Performance Risk
The MUFG Group monitors performance risk of its guarantees using the same credit rating system utilized for estimating probabilities of default with its loan portfolio. The MUFG Group’s credit rating system is consistent with both the method of evaluating credit risk under Basel III and those of third-party credit rating agencies. On certain underlying referenced credits or entities, ratings are not available. Such referenced credits are included in the “Not rated” category in the following tables.

Notes:
(1) | Borrowers classified as Close Watch represent those that require close monitoring as the borrower has begun to exhibit elements of potential concern with respect to its business performance and financial condition, the borrower has begun to exhibit elements of serious concern with respect to its business performance and financial condition, including business problems requiring long-term solutions, or the borrower’s loans are TDRs or loans contractually past due 90 days or more for special reasons. |
(2) | Borrowers classified as Likely to become Bankrupt or Legally/Virtually Bankrupt represent those that have a higher probability of default than those categorized as Close Watch due to serious debt repayment problems with poor progress in achieving restructuring plans, the borrower being considered virtually bankrupt with no prospects for an improvement in business operations, or the borrower being legally bankrupt with no prospects for continued business operations because of non-payment, suspension of business, voluntary liquidation or filing for legal liquidation. |
The guarantees the MUFG Group does not classify based upon internal credit ratings are as follows.
The MUFG Group records all derivative contracts at fair value. Aggregate market risk limits have been established, and market risk measures are routinely monitored against these limits. The MUFG Group also manages its exposure to these derivative contracts through a variety of risk mitigation strategies, including, but not limited to, offsetting economic hedge positions. The MUFG Group expects the risk of loss to be remote and believes that the notional amounts of the derivative contracts generally exceed its exposure.
Liabilities of trust accounts represent the trustee’s potential responsibility for temporary payments to creditors of liabilities of trust accounts using funds of the MUFG Group. The MUFG Group has experienced no significant losses on such responsibilities and its exposure to the risk associated with the temporary payments is judged to be remote because trust account liabilities are generally covered by the corresponding trust account assets.

Other
Off-balance
Sheet InstrumentsIn addition to obligations under guarantees and similar arrangements set forth above, the MUFG Group issues other
off-balance
sheet instruments to meet the financial needs of its customers and for purposes other than trading. Suchoff-balance
sheet instruments consist of lending-related commitments, including commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit that the MUFG Group provides to meet the financing needs of its customers. Once the MUFG Group issues theseoff-balance
sheet instruments, the MUFG Group is required to extend credit to or make certain payments to the customers or beneficiaries specified pursuant to the underlying contracts unless otherwise provided in the contracts. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At March 31, 2020, approximately 67% of these commitments will expire within one year, 30% from one year to five years and 3% after five years. The table below presents the contractual amounts with regard to such instruments at March 31, 2019 and 2020:2019 | 2020 | |||||||

Commitments to make investments | 240 | 247 | ||||||
Other | 5 | 5 |
Commitments to extend credit, which generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, are binding agreements to lend to customers. Commitments are different from guarantees in that the commitments are generally revocable or have provisions that enable the MUFG Group to avoid payments in the event of violations of any conditions of the contracts and certain deterioration of the potential borrowers’ financial condition.
Commercial letters of credit, generally used for trade transactions, are typically secured by the underlying goods. The MUFG Group continually monitors the type and amount of collateral and other securities, and requires counterparties to provide additional collateral or guarantors as necessary.
Commitments to make investments are legally binding contracts to make additional contributions to corporate recovery or private equity investment funds in accordance with limited partnership agreements. Some of these funds, in which the MUFG Group has significant variable interests, are described in Note 2

In general, the creditors or beneficial interest holders of consolidated VIEs have recourse not only to the assets of those VIEs of which they are creditors or beneficial interest holders, but also to other assets of the MUFG Group, since the MUFG Group is also contractually required to provide credit enhancement or program-wide liquidity to these VIEs.

Maximum exposure to loss on each type of entity is determined based on the carrying amount of any

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
on-balance
sheet assets and the maximum exposure to loss primarily comprises the remaining undrawn commitments.Asset-Backed Conduits
This category primarily comprises the following:
Multi-Seller Conduits (MUFG-sponsored Asset-Backed Commercial Paper (“ABCP”) Conduits and Other ABCP Conduits)
The MUFG Group administers several conduits under asset-backed financing programs under which the conduits purchase financial assets, primarily trade accounts receivable, from the MUFG Group’s customers by issuing short-term financing instruments, primarily commercial paper, to third-party investors. Under the asset-backed financing programs, the MUFG Group acts as an agent for the conduits, which enter into agreements with the MUFG Group’s customers where the customers transfer financial assets to the conduits in exchange for monetary consideration. The MUFG Group also underwrites commercial paper for the conduits that is secured by the assets held by them and provides program-wide liquidity and credit enhancement facilities to the conduits. The MUFG Group receives fees related to the services it provides to the conduits and the program-wide liquidity and credit enhancement. The MUFG Group considers itself to be the primary beneficiary of the multi-seller conduits because, as an agent and sponsor, the MUFG Group has the power to direct activities of the conduits that most significantly impact the conduits’ economic performance and also has the obligation to absorb losses of the conduits that could potentially be significant to the conduits through the program-wide liquidity and credit enhancement. Consequently, the MUFG Group consolidates the conduits.
In addition to the entities described above, the MUFG Group participates as a provider of financing to several conduits that are administered by third parties. Most of these conduits are established under a multi-seller asset-backed financing program and the MUFG Group provides financing along with other financial institutions. With respect to these conduits, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary because the MUFG Group’s participation in the conduits is only to provide financing along with other third-party financial institutions and it does not have the power to direct the activities of the conduits. Consequently, the MUFG Group does not consolidate the conduits.
Asset-Backed Conduits (MUFG-sponsored Asset-Backed Loan (“ABL”) Programs and Other Programs)
The MUFG Group administers several conduits under asset-backed financing programs where the MUFG Group provides financing to fund the conduits’ purchases of financial assets, comprising primarily trade accounts receivable, from its customers. The MUFG Group acts as an agent and sponsor for the conduits, which enter into agreements with the MUFG Group’s customers where the customers transfer assets to the conduits in exchange for monetary consideration. In most cases, the MUFG Group is the sole provider of financing that is secured by the assets held by the conduits. The MUFG Group considers itself to be the primary beneficiary of the conduits because, as an agent and sponsor for the conduits, the MUFG Group has the power to direct activities of the conduits, such as selection of the assets to be purchased and condition for purchases, and debt collection from the original obligors, that most significantly impact the conduits’ economic performance, and also has the obligation to absorb losses of the conduits that could potentially be significant to the conduits through financing it provides. Consequently, the MUFG Group consolidates the conduits.
In addition, the MUFG Group is involved with entities, which take in most cases the form of a trust, where originators of financial assets, which primarily comprise lease receivables, entrust the assets with trust banks and
F-1
29
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
receive beneficial certificates of trusts in exchange. The originators then transfer the beneficiary certificates to the MUFG Group in exchange for cash. The originators of the financial assets entrusted continue to be involved in the assets as servicers. Because the originators are deemed to have the power to direct activities of the entities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance through their role as a servicer, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary of these entities. Consequently, the MUFG Group does not consolidate these entities.
The MUFG Group also participates as a provider of financing to the ABL programs that are managed by third parties. The MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary of the entities used in these programs as the MUFG Group’s participation in the entities is only to provide financing along with other third parties and it does not have the power to direct the activities of the entities. Consequently, the MUFG Group does not consolidate the entities used in these programs.
Investment Funds
This category primarily comprises the following:
Corporate Recovery Funds
These entities are established by fund managers, which are unrelated to the MUFG Group, for the purpose of investing in debt or equity instruments issued by distressed companies. After investment, the fund managers work closely with the management of the entities and attempt to enhance corporate value by various means including corporate restructuring and reorganization. Their exit strategies include, among others, sales to others and initial public offerings.
Typically, these entities take the form of a limited partnership which is entirely funded by general and limited partner interests. These partnerships are considered as VIEs unless the limited partners hold substantive
kick-out
rights or participating rights.The MUFG Group mostly serves as a limited partner in corporate recovery funds that are considered as VIEs, and does not have the power to direct the activities of these funds that most significantly impact the economic performance of these funds. Therefore, the MUFG Group does not consider itself to be the primary beneficiary of these funds and does not consolidate them.
Private Equity Funds
The MUFG Group is involved in venture capital funds that are established by either the MUFG Group’s entities or fund managers unrelated to the MUFG Group. These entities have specific investment objectives in connection with their acquisition of equity interests, such as providing financing and other support to
start-up
businesses, medium and small entities in a particular geographical area, and to companies with certain technology or companies in a high-growth industry.These entities typically take the form of a limited partnership and usually are entirely funded by general and limited partner interests. These partnerships are considered as VIEs unless the limited partners hold substantive
kick-out
rights or participating rights.The MUFG Group participates in these partnerships as a general partner or limited partner. The MUFG Group consolidates these funds, which are considered as VIEs, if the MUFG Group has the power to direct the
F-1
30
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
activities of these funds that most significantly impact the economic performance of these funds, and also has the obligation to absorb losses of these funds that could potentially be significant to these funds or the right to receive benefits from these funds that could potentially be significant to these funds.
Investment Trusts
The MUFG Group invests in investment trusts that are professionally managed collective investment schemes which pool money from many investors and invest in, among others, equity and debt securities. Most of these funds take the form of a trust where there is a separation in investment decisions, which is assumed by an investment manager who has no investment in a trust, and ownership through beneficiary interests issued by a trust are owned by investors. Therefore, these investment trusts are considered as VIEs. The MUFG Group consolidates these funds if the MUFG Group has the power to direct the activities of these funds that most significantly impact the economic performance of these funds, and also has the obligation to absorb losses of these funds that could potentially be significant to these funds or the right to receive benefits from these funds that could potentially be significant to these funds.
Buy-out
Financing VehiclesThe MUFG Group provides financing to
buy-out
vehicles. Thebuy-out
vehicles are established by equity investments from, among others, private equity funds or the management of target companies for the purpose of purchasing the equity shares of target companies. Along with other financial institutions, the MUFG Group provides financing to thebuy-out
vehicles in the form of loans. While thebuy-out
vehicles’ equity is normally substantive in its amount and the rights and obligations associated with it, in some cases, the vehicles have equity that is insufficient to absorb expected variability primarily because the amount provided by equity investors is nominal in nature. These vehicles engage innon-investment
activities, and are considered as VIEs. In most cases, the MUFG Group’s participation in these vehicles is only to provide financing to the vehicles, and the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the vehicles is held by the management of target companies. As a result, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary of these vehicles and does not consolidate them.Other Investment Funds
The MUFG Group’s investments in VIEs through MUFG Americas Holdings primarily consist of equity investments in
low-income
housing credit (“LIHC”) structures, designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. MUFG Americas Holdings considers itself as the primary beneficiary of certain types of LIHC investments.LIHC Unguaranteed Syndicated Investment Funds
MUFG Americas Holdings creates the investment funds, serves as the managing investor member, and sells limited investor member interests to third parties. MUFG Americas Holdings receives benefits through income from the structuring of these funds, servicing fees for managing the funds and, as an investor member, tax benefits and tax credits to reduce the MUFG Americas Holdings tax liability. MUFG Americas Holdings considers itself to be the primary beneficiary and consolidates them upon adoption of the current guidance because, as a sponsor and managing member of the funds, it has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the funds’ economic performance and also has the obligation to absorb losses of the funds that could potentially be significant to the funds.
F-
131
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
LIHC Guaranteed Syndicated Investment Funds
MUFG Americas Holdings also forms limited liability companies, which in turn invest in LIHC operating partnerships, to create LIHC guaranteed syndicated investment funds. Interests in these funds are sold to third parties who pay a premium for a guaranteed return. MUFG Americas Holdings earns structuring fees from the sale of these funds and asset management fees. MUFG Americas Holdings serves as the funds’ sponsor and
non-member
asset manager, and also guarantees a minimum rate of return throughout the investment term, therefore, it directs the activities that most significantly impact the funds’ economic performance and also has an obligation to absorb losses pertaining to its minimum rate of return guarantee to investors. Therefore, the MUFG Group is considered as the primary beneficiary of these funds and consolidates them.Special Purpose Entities Created for Structured Financing
This category primarily comprises the following:
Leasing Transaction Vehicles
These entities are established to raise funds to purchase or build equipment and machinery including, among others, commercial vessels, passenger and cargo aircraft, and production equipment for the purpose of leasing them to lessees who use the equipment and machinery as part of their business operations. These entities typically take the form of a limited partnership or a special purpose company where they fund their purchases of equipment and machinery via senior and subordinate financing. When entities take the form of a limited partnership, these entities are considered as VIEs unless limited partners hold substantive
kick-out
rights or participating rights. The entities considered as VIEs are typically funded only by senior financing or there is a guarantee provided to the senior financing by parties unrelated to those providing the senior financing. In most cases, the MUFG Group participates in the senior financing and does not participate in the subordinate financing or provide guarantees. Generally, because the MUFG Group’s participation in these entities is only to provide financing, it does not have the power to direct the activities of the entities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities. Therefore, the MUFG Group does not consider itself to be the primary beneficiary of these entities and does not consolidate them, except for limited circumstances where the MUFG Group is directly involved with the structuring of the transaction and has the power to direct the activities of the entities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities.Project Financing Vehicles
These entities are established to raise funds in connection with, among others, production of natural resources, construction and development of urban infrastructure (including power plants and grids, highways and ports), and the development of real estate properties or complexes. These projects typically involve special purpose companies which issue senior and subordinate financing to raise funds in connection with the various projects. The subordinate financing is usually provided by parties that will ultimately make use of the assets constructed or developed. By contrast, the senior financing is typically provided by financial institutions, including the MUFG Group. Because the MUFG Group’s participation in these entities is only to provide financing, it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Therefore, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary of these entities and does not consolidate them.
Sale-and-Leaseback
VehiclesThe MUFG Group is involved with vehicles that acquire assets, primarily real estate, from the MUFG Group’s customers and other unrelated parties where the sellers of the assets continue to use the assets through
F-1
32
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
leaseback agreements. These vehicles typically take the form of a limited partnership, and are considered as VIEs unless the limited partners hold substantive
kick-out
rights or participating rights. The subordinated financing of these vehicles considered as VIEs is usually provided by the sellers of the assets, with the MUFG Group providing senior financing for the vehicles. Because the MUFG Group’s participation in these vehicles is only to provide senior financing, it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these vehicles. Therefore, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate them.Securitization of Client Real Estate Properties
These entities are established for the purpose of securitizing real estate properties held by the MUFG Group’s customers. In most cases, these entities take the form of a limited partnership or a special purpose
kick-out
rights or participating rights. The entities considered as VIEs are typically funded by senior and subordinated financing where the original owners of the real estate properties provide the subordinated financing, primarily in the form of partnership interests or subordinated notes, and financial institutions, including the MUFG Group, provide senior financing in the form of senior loans. Because the MUFG Group’s participation in these vehicles is only to provide a portion of senior financing, it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Therefore, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate these entities.Repackaged Instruments
This category primarily comprises the following:
Investments in Financially-Engineered Products
The MUFG Group is involved in special purpose entities that have been established to issue financial products through the engineering and repackaging of existing financial instruments such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). These entities are considered as VIEs because the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. These entities are generally arranged and managed by parties that are not related to the MUFG Group. The MUFG Group’s involvement with the entities arranged and managed by third parties is for investment purposes. In these cases, the MUFG Group participates as one of many other investors and the MUFG Group typically holds investments in senior tranches or tranches with high credit ratings. Therefore, the MUFG Group does not have the power to direct activities of the entities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance, and thus is not considered as the primary beneficiary of these entities and does not consolidate these entities.
“
”
In certain instances, special purpose entities have been established and are managed by the MUFG Group. The MUFG Group’s involvement includes establishing and arranging the transaction and underwriting securities issued by the entities to general investors. For these entities, the MUFG Group has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entities. As such, the MUFG Group considers itself as the primary beneficiary of these entities and consolidates them.
Investments in Securitized Financial Instruments
The MUFG Group holds investments in special purpose entities that issue securitized financial products. The assets held by the entities include credit card receivables and residential mortgage loans. These entities
are
F-1
33
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
established and managed by parties that are unrelated to the MUFG Group and the MUFG Group’s involvement with these entities is for its own investment purposes. In all cases, the MUFG Group participates as one of many other investors and the MUFG Group does not have the power to direct activities of the entities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. Therefore, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary of these entities and does not consolidate them.
Securitization of the MUFG Group’s Assets
This category primarily comprises the following:
Securitization for issuing interests or financing
The MUFG Group establishes entities to securitize its own financial assets that include, among others, corporate and retail loans and lease receivables. The entities used for securitization, which typically take the form of a special purpose company or a trust, are established by the MUFG Group and, in most cases, issue senior and subordinate interests or financing. After securitization, the MUFG Group typically continues to service securitized assets as a servicer. The MUFG Group may also retain subordinate interests or financing or other interests. The MUFG Group is considered as the primary beneficiary and consolidates the entities used for securitization since it has the obligation to absorb losses through subordinate interests, and also has the power for determining and implementing policies as servicer that give it the ability to manage the entities’ assets that become delinquent or are in default in order to improve the economic performance of the entities.
Eligible beneficiary interests in housing loan trusts
The MUFG Group establishes trusts, which acquire the MUFG Group’s housing loans and in turn issue beneficiary interests to the MUFG Group, to pledge these beneficiary interests as collateral for borrowings from the Bank of Japan, as a result of the decision by the Bank of Japan on June 30, 2016 to accept these beneficial interests as collateral in the same way as it does for Japanese national government bonds. The MUFG Group is considered as the primary beneficiary and consolidates the trusts since it has the obligation to absorb losses through beneficiary interests, and also has the power for determining and implementing policies as servicer that give it the ability to manage housing loans owned by the trusts that become delinquent or are in default in order to improve the economic performance of the trusts.
Trust Arrangements
The MUFG Group offers, primarily through Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, a variety of trust products and services including securities investment trusts, pension trusts and trusts used as securitization vehicles. In a typical trust arrangement, however, the MUFG Group manages and administers assets on behalf of the customers in an agency, fiduciary and trust capacity and does not assume risks associated with the entrusted assets. The trusts are generally considered as VIEs because the trust beneficiaries, who provide all of the equity at risk, usually do not have power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance in the arrangements. The MUFG Group, however, is not considered as the primary beneficiary, mainly, except for the case mentioned below, because it merely receives fees for compensation for its services on terms that are customary for these activities and the fees are insignificant relative to the total amount of the trusts’ economic performance and variability. Therefore, the MUFG Group does not consolidate these entities.
With respect to the jointly operated designated money in trusts, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking pools money from investors and determines how best to invest it. In addition, certain investors, such as money reserve

funds and investment funds, place excess funds in the jointly operated designated money trusts. Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking typically invests in high-quality financial assets, including government bonds, corporate bonds and corporate loans including loans to Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking and receives fees as compensation for services. In this role as a sponsor of these trusts’ Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking provides guarantees under which it is required to compensate a loss on the stated principal of the trust beneficial interests. Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking is considered as the primary beneficiary of these trusts’ because it is exposed to a potentially significant amount of losses and also has the power to direct activities of these trusts’ that most significantly impact their economic performance. Upon consolidation of the trusts, the certificates issued to the investors are accounted for as deposit liabilities as the products are structured and marketed to customers similar to Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking’s term deposit products.
Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking considers the likelihood of incurring losses on the stated principal guarantee to be highly remote. In the trusts’ operational history that extends over decades, the stated principal guarantee has never been called upon. The variability in fair value of the net assets of the trusts has been primarily affected by the fluctuations in interest rates, and the majority of such variability has been absorbed by investors or trust beneficiaries.
Other
This category primarily comprises the following:
Financing Vehicles of the MUFG Group’s Customers
The MUFG Group is involved with several entities that are established by the MUFG Group’s customers. These entities borrow funds from financial institutions and extend loans to their group entities. These entities effectively work as fund-raising vehicles for their respective group entities and enable the groups to achieve efficient financing by integrating their financing activities into a single entity. In all cases, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary because the MUFG Group’s participation in these entities is only to provide financing, and the customers effectively hold the power to direct activities of these entities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities. Consequently, the MUFG Group does not consolidate these entities.
Funding Vehicles
The MUFG Group has established several wholly-owned vehicles which issue securities, typically preferred stock that is fully guaranteed by the MUFG Group, to investors unrelated to the MUFG Group to fund purchases of debt instruments issued by the MUFG Group. These entities are considered as VIEs because the MUFG Group’s investment in the vehicles’ equity is not considered at risk and substantive as the entire amount raised by the vehicles was used to purchase debt instruments issued by the MUFG Group. Because the MUFG Group does not have variable interests in these vehicles, the MUFG Group does not consolidate these entities.
off-shore
Troubled Borrowers
During the normal course of business, the borrowers from the MUFG Group may experience financial difficulties and sometimes enter into certain transactions that require the MUFG Group to assess whether they would be considered as VIEs due to their difficult financial position. While in most cases such borrowers are not considered as VIEs when the transactions take place, in limited circumstances they are considered as VIEs due to insufficient equity investment at risk. In all cases, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary

because the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the troubled borrowers resides with the management of the troubled borrowers, and the MUFG Group, as a lender, does not have power over or assume any role in management. Therefore, the MUFG Group does not consolidate these troubled borrowers.
26. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES |
Repayment of Excess Interest
The MUFG Group maintains an allowance for repayment of excess interest based on an analysis of past experience of reimbursement of excess interest, borrowers’ profile, recent trend of borrowers’ claims for reimbursement, and management future forecasts. Management believes that the provision for repayment of excess interest is adequate and the allowance is at the appropriate amount to absorb probable losses, so that the impact of future claims for reimbursement of excess interest will not have a material adverse effect on the MUFG Group’s financial position and results of operations. The allowance for repayment of excess interest established by MUFG’s consumer finance subsidiaries, which was included in Other liabilities, was ¥24,983 million and ¥29,438 million as of March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Provision (reversal) related to the allowance is included in Other
non-interest
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, there was a negative impact of nil, ¥15,632 million and ¥7,800 million, respectively, on Equity in earnings of equity method investees—net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the MUFG Group is subject to various litigation and regulatory matters. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the MUFG Group establishes an accrued liability for loss contingencies arising from litigation and regulatory matters when they are determined to be probable in their occurrence 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 the MUFG Group’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, management believes the amount of loss that is reasonably possible, but not probable, from various litigation and regulatory matters is not material to the MUFG Group’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Foreign operations include the business conducted by overseas offices, as well as international business conducted from domestic offices, principally several international banking-related divisions of MUFG Bank’s and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking’s head office in Tokyo, and involve various transactions with debtors and customers residing outside Japan. Close integration of the MUFG Group’s foreign and domestic activities makes precise estimates of the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses attributable to foreign operations difficult and necessarily subjective. Assets, income and expenses attributable to foreign operations are allocated to geographical areas based on the domicile of the debtors and customers.

3 1 . | FAIR VALUE |
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance on fair value measurements also specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the following three-level hierarchy is specified by the guidance:
• | Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
• | Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices for substantially the full term of the instruments, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; other inputs that are observable; or market-corroborated inputs. |
• | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the instruments. |
A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The MUFG Group has an established and documented process for determining fair values in accordance with the guidance. When available, quoted prices are used to determine fair value. If quoted prices are not

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
available, fair value is based upon valuation techniques that use observable or unobservable inputs. The fair values of liabilities are determined by discounting future cash flows at a rate which incorporates the MUFG Group’s own creditworthiness. In addition, valuation adjustments may be made to ensure the financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality, funding cost, liquidity risk and model risk.
The following section describes the valuation techniques used by the MUFG Group to measure fair values of certain financial instruments. The discussion includes the general classification of such financial instruments in accordance with the fair value hierarchy, a brief explanation of the valuation techniques, the significant inputs to those valuation techniques, and any additional significant assumptions.
Trading Account Assets and Liabilities—Trading Account Securities
When quoted prices are available in an active market, the MUFG Group uses quoted prices to measure the fair values of securities and such securities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Examples of Level 1 securities include certain Japanese and foreign government bonds, and marketable equity securities.
When quoted prices are available but the securities are not traded in active markets, such securities are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These securities include certain Japanese government agency bonds, Japanese prefectural and municipal bonds, foreign government and official institution bonds, corporate bonds, residential mortgage-backed securities and equity securities.
As for quoted prices provided by third-party vendors, independent price verification is performed by the MUFG group to determine the quality and reliability of the data for fair value measurement purposes. As part of its independent price verification procedures, the MUFG group obtains a sufficient understanding of the vendors’ pricing sources and valuation processes. Further, the MUFG group performs internal price verification procedures to ensure that the quoted prices provided from the third-party vendors are reasonable. Such verification procedures include comparison of pricing sources and analysis of variances beyond certain thresholds.
When quoted prices are not available, the MUFG Group estimates fair values by using an internal model, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or
non-binding
prices obtained from independent third parties. Such securities include certain commercial paper, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and residential mortgage-backed securities. For commercial paper, the MUFG Group estimates fair value using discounted cash flows. The cash flows are estimated in accordance with the terms of contracts and discounted using a discount rate based on the yield curve estimated from market interest rates appropriate to the securities. Commercial paper is generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For corporate bonds, the MUFG Group estimates fair value using discounted cash flows. The cash flows are estimated in accordance with the terms of contracts and discounted using discount rates applicable to the maturity of the bonds, which are adjusted to reflect credit risk of issuers. Credit risk of issuers is reflected in the future cash flows being discounted by the interest rate applicable to the maturity of the bonds. Corporate bonds are classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, depending primarily on the significance of the adjustments to the unobservable input of credit worthiness. For residential mortgage-backed securities, the MUFG Group estimates fair value usingnon-binding
prices obtained from independent third parties. Residential mortgage-backed securities are classified as level 2 unless otherwise significant unobservable input is used for the valuation.When there is less liquidity for securities or significant inputs used in the fair value measurements are unobservable, such securities are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Examples of such Level 3
F-1

5
MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
securities include CLOs backed by general corporate loans, which are classified in asset-backed securities. The fair value of CLOs is measured by weighing the estimated fair value amounts from the internal model and the
non-binding
Trading Account Assets and Liabilities—Derivatives
Exchange-traded derivatives valued using quoted prices are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Examples of Level 1 derivatives include stock futures index and interest rate futures. However, the majority of the derivative contracts entered into by the MUFG Group are traded
over-the-counter
and valued using valuation techniques as there are no quoted prices for such derivatives. The valuation techniques and inputs vary depending on the types and contractual terms of the derivatives. The principal valuation techniques used to value derivatives include discounted cash flows, the Black-Scholes model and the Hull-White model. The key inputs include interest rate yield curve, foreign currency exchange rate, volatility, credit quality of the counterparty or the MUFG Group and spot price of the underlying. These models are commonly accepted in the financial industry and key inputs to the models are generally readily observable in an active market. Derivatives valued using such valuation techniques and inputs are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Examples of such Level 2 derivatives include plain-vanilla interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and currency option contracts.Derivatives that are valued using valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Examples of Level 3 derivatives include long-term interest rate or currency swaps and certain credit derivatives, where significant inputs such as volatility and correlation of such inputs are unobservable.
Investment Securities
Investment securities include
Available-for-sale
debt and equity securities, whose fair values are measured using the same valuation techniques as the trading account securities described above. Investment securities also include investments in nonmarketable equity securities which are subject to specialized industry accounting principles. The valuation of such nonmarketable equity securities involves significant management judgment due to the absence of quoted prices, lack of liquidity and the long term nature of these investments. Further, there may be restriction on transfers of nonmarketable equity securities. The MUFG Group values such securities initially at transaction price and subsequently adjusts such valuations, considering evidence such as current sales transactions of similar securities, initial public offerings, recent equity issuances and change in financial condition of the investee company. Nonmarketable equity securities are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.Other Assets
Other assets measured at fair value mainly consist of securities received as collateral that may be sold or repledged under securities lending transactions, money in trust for segregating cash deposited by customers on security transactions and derivatives designated as hedging instruments. The securities received as collateral under lending transactions mainly consist of certain Japanese and foreign government bonds which are valued using the valuation techniques previously described in the sectionabove.

Obligations to Return Securities Received as Collateral
Obligations to return securities received as collateral under securities lending transactions included in Other liabilities are measured at the fair values of the securities received as collateral. The securities received as collateral consist primarily of certain Japanese and foreign government bonds, whose fair values are measured using the valuation techniques described in theabove.
“Trading Account Assets and Liabilities—Trading Account Securities”
Other Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt
Certain short-term borrowings and
long
-term debt are measured at fair value due to the election of the fair value option. The fair value of these instruments are measured principally based on the discounted cash flows. Where the inputs into the valuation techniques are mainly based on observable inputs, these instruments are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where significant inputs are unobservable, they are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.Market Valuation Adjustments
Counterparty credit risk adjustments are made to certain financial assets such as
over-the-counter
derivatives to factor in counterparty credit exposure. As not all counterparties have the same credit risk, it is necessary in calculating credit risk adjustments, to take into account probability of a default event occurring for each counterparty, which is primarily derived from observed or estimated spreads on credit default swaps. In addition, the counterparty credit risk adjustment takes into account the effect of credit risk mitigation such as pledged collateral and the legal right of offset with the counterparty.Funding valuation adjustment (“FVA”) represents the adjustment to reflect the impact of uncollateralized funding. The FVA is calculated using the MUFG’s market funding spread and the funding exposure of any uncollateralized component of the
over-the-counter
derivative instrument. The MUFG Group’s FVA framework incorporates key inputs, such as the expected future funding requirements arising from the MUFG Group’s positions with each counterparty and collateral arrangements, and the estimated market funding cost in the principal market, which considers the MUFG Group’s credit risk.Liquidity adjustments are applied mainly to the instruments classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when recent observable prices of such instruments are not available or such instruments are traded in inactive or less active markets. The liquidity adjustments are based on the facts and circumstances of the markets including the availability of external quotes and the time since the latest available quote.
Model valuation adjustments such as unobservable parameter valuation adjustments may be provided when the fair values of instruments are determined based on internally developed valuation techniques. Examples of such adjustments include adjustments to the model price of certain derivatives where parameters such as correlation are unobservable. Unobservable parameter valuation adjustments are applied to
mitigate
the uncertainty inherent in the resulting valuation estimate.F-14

Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share
The MUFG Group has interests in investment funds mainly private equity funds, and real estate funds that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.
Private equity funds have specific investment objectives in connection with their acquisition of equity interests, such as providing financing and other support to
start-up
businesses, medium and small entities in a particular geographical area, and to companies with certain technology or companies in a high-growth industry. Generally, these investments cannot be redeemed with the funds, and the return of invested capital and its gains are derived from distributions received upon the liquidation of the underlying assets of the fund, the timing of which is uncertain.Real estate funds invest globally and primarily in real estate companies, debt recapitalizations and direct property. These investments are generally not redeemable with the funds. Distributions from each fund will be received as the underlying investments of the funds are liquidated, the timing of which is uncertain.

Changes in Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present a reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2020. The determination to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 input, observable inputs (inputs that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources). Accordingly, the gains and losses in the tables below include changes in fair value due in part to observable inputs used in the valuation techniques.

in the default rate would result in a significant decrease (increase) in a fair value through a decrease (increase) in the estimated cash flows. Probability of default used in internal model of Residential mortgage-backed securities, Commercial mortgage-backed securities and Asset-backed securities represents that of underlying assets, whereas probability of default used in other valuation techniques represents the counterparty default risks, determined through the MUFG Group’s credit rating system.
The wide range of probability of default used in the internal model of Residential mortgage-backed securities, Commercial mortgage-backed securities and Asset-backed securities is mainly caused by Asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities have a large number of underlying loans, mainly corporate loans, in several industries. The MUFG Group primarily makes investments in the senior tranches of such securities, with no investments in the equity portion. Thus, the MUFG Group’s investments have higher priority of payments than mezzanine and equity and even if some of underlying loans become default, the MUFG Group may still be able to receive the full contractual payments.
Discount factor and Liquidity premium
Recovery rate and Prepayment rate
Volatility
The level of volatility generally depends on the tenor of the underlying instrument and the strike price or level defined in the contract. Volatilities for certain combinations of tenor and strike price are not observable. The volatility inputs used to estimate fair value of interest rate contracts are distributed throughout the range.
Correlation
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 the MUFG Group 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. For credit derivative contracts, the wide range of correlation between underlying assets is primarily due to factors such as reference assets with different maturities, capital structure subordinations, and credit quality.
Term of litigation
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 the MUFG Group purchased will be convertible to listed shares of the issuer at the end of the Covered Litigation. The restricted shares will be diluted dependent 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, the MUFG Group 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.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods
subsequent
to their initial recognition. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting, write-downs of individual assets or the measurement alternative fornonmarketable equity securities.

Investment securities for the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2020 primarily include nonmarketable equity securities measured under the measurement alternative. See Note 3 for the details of the measurement alternative.
Loans include loans held for sale and collateral dependent loans. Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The fair value of the loans held for sale is based on secondary market prices, recent transactions or discounted cash flows. These loans are principally classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and when quoted prices are
available
but not traded actively, such loans held for sale are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Collateral dependent loans are measured at fair value of the underlying collateral. Collateral is comprised mainly of real estate and exchange-traded equity securities. The MUFG Group maintains an established process for internally determining the fair value of real estate, using the following valuation techniques and assumptions. Collateral dependent loans that are measured based on underlying real estate collateral are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.• | Replacement cost approach |
• | Sales comparison approach |
• | Income approach location and use of the property by subsidiaries of MUFG. The capitalization yield may be adjusted to reflect the trends in locations, occupancy rates and rent level and other factors. |
Premises and equipment consist of those assets which were written down to fair value. The fair values are determined based on prices obtained from an appraiser or discounted cash flows. These impaired premises and equipment are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Intangible assets consist of those assets which were written down to fair value. The fair values are determined based on discounted cash flows. These impaired intangible assets are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Other assets mainly consist of investments in equity method investees which were written down to fair value due to impairment. When investments in equity method investees are marketable equity securities, the fair values are determined based on quoted prices. Impaired investments in equity method investees which are marketable equity securities are classified in either Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When investments in equity method investees are nonmarketable equity securities, the fair values are determined using the same methodologies as those for impaired nonmarketable equity securities described above. Impaired investments in equity method investees which are nonmarketable equity securities are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value Option
The MUFG Group elected the fair value option for foreign currency-denominated debt securities and equity securities held by MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking. The election was made to mitigate
mismatches related to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates by allowing the gains and losses on translation of these securities to be included in current earnings. The gains and losses on translation of debt securities without the fair value option, are included in OCI,
while
the gains and losses on translation of foreign currency-denominated financial liabilities are included in current earnings.The MUFG Group also elected the fair value option for certain financial instruments held by Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings’s foreign subsidiaries because those financial instruments are managed on a fair value basis, and these exposures are considered to be trading-related positions. These financial assets are included in Other assets. These financial liabilities are mainly included in Other short-term borrowings and Long-term debt. Unrealized gains and losses on such financial instruments are recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The following table presents the gains or losses recorded for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 related to the eligible instruments for which the MUFG Group elected the fair value option:
