NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report includes forward-looking statements, which include expectations for our operations and business and our assumptions for those expectations.

Forward-looking statements are subject to the "safe harbor" created by section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(1)
Pre-tax, pre-provision income is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that this is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company's ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle.
(2)
Annualized.
(3)
Return on tangible common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is net income excluding intangible asset amortization divided by average tangible common equity. Management believes that this ratio provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's business results. The methodology for determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Please refer to Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this Form 10-Q for further information.
(4)
The efficiency ratio is total noninterest expense as a percentage of total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
(5)
The adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, is adjusted noninterest expense (noninterest expense excluding staff costs associated with fees from affiliates - support services, foreclosed asset expense and other credit costs, certain costs related to productivity initiatives, LIHC investment amortization expense, expenses of the LIHC consolidated variable interest entities, merger and business integration costs, privatization-related expenses, intangible asset amortization, and a contract termination fee) as a percentage of adjusted total revenue (net interest income (taxable-equivalent basis) and noninterest income), excluding the impact of fees from affiliates - support services, productivity initiatives related to the sale of certain premises, accretion related to privatization-related fair value adjustments, other credit costs, impairment on private equity investments and gains on sale of fixed assets. Management discloses the adjusted efficiency ratio as a measure of the efficiency of our operations, focusing on those costs most relevant to our business activities. Please refer to Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this Form 10-Q for further information.
(6)
Yields, interest income and net interest margin are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 35%.
(7)
The allowance for loan losses ratios are calculated using the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of end of period total loans held for investment or total nonaccrual loans, as appropriate.
(8)
The allowance for credit losses ratios include the allowances for loan losses and for losses on unfunded credit commitments as a percentage of end of period total loans held for investment or total nonaccrual loans, as appropriate.
(9)
These capital ratios are calculated in accordance with the transition guidelines set forth in the U.S. federal banking agencies' final U.S. Basel III regulatory capital rules.
(10)
The tangible common equity ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as tangible common equity divided by tangible assets. The methodology for determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. The tangible common equity ratio facilitates the understanding of the Company's capital structure and is used to assess and compare the quality and composition of the Company's capital structure to other financial institutions. Please refer to Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Capital Management" in this Form 10-Q for further information.
(11)
Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital (standardized, fully phased-in basis) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies to assess the capital position of financial services companies as if the transition provisions of the U.S. Basel III rules were fully phased in for the periods in which the ratio is disclosed.  Management reviews this ratio, which excludes accumulated other comprehensive loss, along with other measures of capital as part of its financial analyses and has included this non-GAAP information because of current interest in such information by market participants. Refer to Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Capital Management" in this Form 10-Q for further information.

Please refer to our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (2016 Form 10-K) along with the following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial position and results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2017 in this Form 10-Q. Averages, as presented in the following tables, are substantially all based upon daily average balances.
As used in this Form 10-Q, terms such as the "Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (MUAH), one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or to all of them together.
Introduction
We are a financial holding company, bank holding company and intermediate holding company whose principal subsidiaries are MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (MUB or the Bank) and MUSA. We are owned by BTMU and MUFG. BTMU is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MUFG.
Earlier this year, the management of MUAH announced a realignment of its business model in the Americas, which includes MUAH. The realignment consolidates the customer base of the Investment Banking & Markets segment into other operating segments. After this realignment, which was implemented during the second quarter of 2017, the Company now has four reportable segments: Regional Bank, U.S. Wholesale & Investment Banking, Transaction Banking and MUSA. We service U.S. Wholesale & Investment Banking, certain Transaction Banking, and MUSA customers through the MUFG brand and serve Regional Bank and Transaction Banking customers through the Union Bank brand. We provide a wide range of financial services to consumers, small businesses, middle-market companies and major corporations, both nationally and internationally.
The Company also provides various business, banking, financial, administrative and support services, and facilities for BTMU in connection with the operation and administration of BTMU's business in the U.S. (including BTMU's U.S. branches). The Bank and BTMU participate in a master services agreement whereby the Bank earns fee income in exchange for services and facilities provided.
The Company’s leadership team is bicoastal with Regional Bank and Transaction Banking leaders on the West Coast while U.S. Wholesale & Investment Banking and MUSA leaders are based in New York City. The corporate headquarters (principal executive office) for MUB, MUSA and MUAH is in New York City. MUB's main banking office is in San Francisco. The Company had consolidated assets of $154.9 billion at September 30, 2017.
On July 1, 2016, MUFG designated MUAH as its U.S. Intermediate Holding Company and transferred substantially all its U.S. subsidiaries to the IHC in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board's final rules for Enhanced Prudential Standards. MUFG's remaining U.S. subsidiaries were transferred to MUAH on July 1, 2017. The remaining subsidiaries transferred have been included in MUAH's financial results on a prospective basis. The Company issued 3,267,433 shares to BTMU and MUFG in exchange for the transferred subsidiaries. For additional information regarding related party transactions, refer to Note 14 of our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.
Executive Overview
We are providing you with an overview of what we believe are the most significant factors and developments that affected our third quarter 2017 results and that could influence our future results. Further detailed information can be found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. In addition, you should carefully read this entire document and any other reports that we refer to in this Form 10-Q for more detailed information to assist your understanding of trends, events and uncertainties that impact us.
Our sources of revenue are net interest income and noninterest income (collectively “total revenue”). Net interest income is generated predominantly from interest earned from loans, investment securities, securities borrowed or purchased under resale agreements, trading account assets and other interest-earning assets, less interest incurred on deposits and borrowings, securities loaned or sold under repurchase agreements and other interest-bearing liabilities. The primary sources of noninterest income are revenues from investment banking and syndication fees, service charges on deposit accounts, trust and investment management fees, trading account activities, credit facility fees, and fees from affiliates. Changes in interest rates, credit quality, economic trends and the capital markets are primary factors that affect our revenue sources. In the third quarter of 2017,

revenue was comprised of 61% net interest income and 39% noninterest income. A summary of our financial results is discussed below.
Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, securities and wholesale funding. Wholesale funding includes unsecured funds raised from BTMU and affiliates, interbank and other sources, both domestic and international, funding secured by certain assets, or by borrowing from the FHLB. We evaluate and monitor the stability and reliability of our various funding sources to help ensure that we have sufficient liquidity when adverse situations arise.
Performance Highlights
Net income attributable to MUAH was $232 million in the third quarter of 2017, down $28 million from the third quarter of 2016. The decrease was driven by lower noninterest income, primarily lower trading income and lower gains on our securities portfolio, and higher noninterest expense, primarily higher professional and outside services expense and higher software expense. Net income attributable to MUAH for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $756 million, an increase of $100 million compared with the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the provision for credit losses and expansion of our net interest margin.
The provision (reversal) for credit losses was $(34) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $196 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The reversal of provision for credit losses in 2017 reflects general improvement in portfolio credit quality and composition. The provision for credit losses in 2016 was substantially due to the impact of continued low oil prices, which resulted in negative credit migration in the oil and gas sector of our loan portfolio.
Capital Ratios
The Company's capital ratios continued to exceed all well-capitalized and minimum regulatory thresholds for BHCs, as applicable. The U.S. Basel III Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital ratios were 16.19%, 16.19% and 17.70%, respectively, at September 30, 2017. The Tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.44% at September 30, 2017.

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $43 million and $154 million, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2016. Expansion in the net interest margin, reflecting the comparatively higher short-term interest rate environment in the current year, contributed to increases in net interest income in both periods. During the third quarter of 2017, an increase in earning assets also contributed to the increase in net interest income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, earning assets decreased compared with the prior year period, however, the increase in interest rates more than offset the impact of this decrease on net interest income.

Noninterest income decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the same prior year periods primarily due to decreases in trading account activities, securities gains, net and fees from affiliates, partially offset by an increase in fund administration fees from entities transferred to the Company on July 1, 2017 (included in other, net). The decrease in noninterest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the prior year period was also partially offset by an increase in investment banking and syndication fees. The decrease in trading account activities was related to losses on fixed rate securities at our broker-dealer due to rising interest rates. The decrease in securities gains, net was due to fewer sales of securities during the current year. The decrease in fees from affiliates was due to lower revenue sharing fees.

The increase in noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2017 compared with the third quarter of 2016 was driven primarily by an increase in professional and outside services expenses and software expense, partially offset by a low income housing impairment charge (included in other) attributed to noncontrolling interests that occurred in 2016. The Company's share of the impairment charge was not significant. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the prior year period was due primarily to increases in salaries and employee benefits expense, professional and outside services, and software expenses, partially offset by the low income housing impairment charge from 2016. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was related in part to higher incentive accruals, partially offset by a decrease in pension expense. The increase in professional and outside services expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily related to controls and compliance initiatives. The increase in software expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was the result of increased investment in software to support various business activities.


Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense and the effective tax rate include both federal and state income taxes. In the third quarter of 2017, income tax expense was $109 million with an effective tax rate of 33%, compared with 31% for the third quarter of 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, income tax expense was $255 million with an effective tax rate of 26%, compared with 29% in the comparative prior year period. The increase in effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to an upward revision in estimated taxes and the impact of discrete tax adjustments during the quarter. The decrease in effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to higher federal income tax credits and lower state taxes in the current year.
For further information regarding income tax expense, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Income Tax Expense" in Part II, Item 7. and “Changes in our tax rates could affect our future results” in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. and Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Balance Sheet Analysis
Securities
Our securities portfolio is primarily used for liquidity and interest rate risk management purposes, to invest cash resulting from excess liquidity, and to a lesser extent, to support our business development objectives. We strive to maximize total return while managing this objective within appropriate risk parameters. Securities available for sale are principally comprised of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government-sponsored agency securities, RMBS, CMBS, Cash Flow CLOs, and direct bank purchase bonds. Direct bank purchase bonds are instruments that are issued in bond form, accounted for as securities, but underwritten as loans with features that are typically found in commercial loans. Securities held to maturity consist of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government-sponsored agency securities and U.S. government-sponsored agency RMBS and CMBS.
The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair values of securities are detailed in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Cross-Border Outstandings
Our cross-border outstandings reflect certain additional economic and political risks that differ from or are greater than those reflected in domestic outstandings. These risks include, but are not limited to, those arising from exchange rate fluctuations and restrictions on the transfer of funds. Our total cross-border outstandings for Japan, the only country where such outstandings exceeded one percent of total assets were $4.0 billion at September 30, 2017 and $3.1 billion at December 31, 2016. These cross-border outstandings are based on category and legal residence of ultimate risk and are largely comprised of securities financing arrangements by MUSA.

Total deposits decreased $1.6 billion from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 due to a decrease in demand deposits, money market deposits and interest checking, substantially offset by an increase in interest bearing savings deposits related to the launch of PurePoint Financial, a new online division of the Bank.

Securities Financing Arrangements
The Company enters into securities purchased under agreements to resell, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and securities borrowing and lending transactions to facilitate customer match-book activity, cover short positions and to fund the Company's trading inventory. These balances are almost entirely attributable to MUSA. See Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Capital Management

Both MUAH and MUB are subject to various capital adequacy regulations issued by the U.S. federal banking agencies, including requirements to file an annual capital plan and to maintain minimum regulatory capital ratios. As of September 30, 2017, management believes the capital ratios of MUAH and MUB met all regulatory requirements of “well-capitalized” institutions.
The Company timely filed its annual capital plan under the Federal Reserve's CCAR program in April 2017. CCAR evaluates capital planning processes and assesses capital adequacy levels under various scenarios to determine if BHCs would have sufficient capital to continue operations throughout times of economic and financial market stress. The Company's 2017 CCAR submission encompassed a range of expected and stressed economic and financial market scenarios, and included an assessment of expected sources and uses of capital over a prescribed planning horizon, a description of all capital actions within that timeframe, and a discussion of any proposed business plan changes that are likely to have a material impact on capital adequacy. In June 2017, the Company was informed by the Federal Reserve that it did not object to the Company's capital plan. In accordance with regulatory requirements, the Company subsequently disclosed the results of its annual company-run capital stress test. In October 2017, the Company submitted its mid-cycle Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test results to the Federal Reserve and subsequently disclosed the results of those stress tests.
MUAH and MUB are required to maintain minimum capital ratios in accordance with rules issued by the U.S. federal banking agencies. In July 2013, the U.S. federal banking agencies issued final rules to implement the BCBS capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations (U.S. Basel III). These rules supersede 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, and leverage rules, and are subject to certain transition provisions. Among other requirements, the U.S. Basel III rules revised the definition of capital; increased minimum capital ratios; introduced 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, for advanced approaches institutions, 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; mandated a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%; introduced, for large and internationally active BHCs, a Tier 1 SLR that is currently set at 3% and which incorporates off-balance sheet exposures; revised Basel I rules for calculating risk-weighted assets under a standardized approach; modified the existing Basel II advanced approaches rules for calculating risk-weighted assets under U.S. Basel III; and phased-out, for advanced approaches institutions, the exclusion of AOCI that had applied under Basel I and Basel II rules, over a four-year transition period beginning on January 1, 2014. Banking organizations not subject to the advanced approaches rules, such as MUAH, were required to comply with the standardized approach capital rules beginning on January 1, 2015.
MUB previously opted-in to the advanced approaches risk-based capital rules, and therefore was required to comply with the U.S. Basel III capital rules beginning on January 1, 2014. However, in October 2017, the OCC approved MUB's request to opt-out of the U.S. Basel III advanced approaches rules, including MUB's one-time permanent election to exclude certain components of AOCI from its regulatory capital calculations, effective September 30, 2017.  
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. MUAH and MUB would satisfy the minimum capital requirements including the capital conservation buffer on a fully phased-in basis if those requirements were effective as of September 30, 2017.

In addition to capital ratios determined in accordance with regulatory requirements, we consider the tangible common equity ratio when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy. This capital ratio is monitored by management, and presented below, to further facilitate the understanding of our capital structure and for use in assessing and comparing the quality and composition of the Company’s capital structure to other financial institutions. This ratio is not codified within GAAP or federal banking regulations in effect at September 30, 2017. Therefore, it is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Our tangible common equity ratio calculation method may differ from those used by other financial services companies.

The Company’s fully phased-in Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio calculated under the U.S. Basel III standardized approach at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was estimated to be 16.16% and 14.73%, respectively. Management believes that the Company would satisfy all capital adequacy requirements under the U.S. Basel III rules on a fully phased-in basis if those requirements had been effective at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital (standardized, fully phased-in basis) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies to assess the capital position of financial services companies as if the transition provisions of the U.S. Basel III rules were fully phased-in for the period in which the ratio is disclosed.  Management reviews this ratio, which excludes components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, along with other measures of capital as part of its financial analyses and has included this non-GAAP information, and the corresponding reconciliation from Common Equity Tier 1 capital (calculated according to the transition provisions under U.S. Basel III rules) because of current interest in such information by market participants.

For additional information regarding our regulatory capital requirements, see "Supervision and Regulation-Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Standards" in Part I, Item 1. in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Risk Management
All financial institutions must manage and control a variety of business risks that can significantly affect their financial condition and performance. Some of the key risks that the Company must manage include credit, market, liquidity, operational, interest rate, compliance, reputation and strategic risks. The Board, directly or through its appropriate committees, provides oversight and approves our various risk management policies. Management has established a risk management structure that is designed to provide a comprehensive approach for identifying, measuring, monitoring, controlling and reporting on the significant risks faced by the Company. For additional information regarding our risk management structure and framework, refer to the section “Risk Management” included in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2016 Form 10-K.
Credit Risk Management

One of our principal business activities is the extension of credit to individuals and businesses. Our policies and the applicable laws and regulations governing the extension of credit require risk analysis, including an extensive evaluation of the purpose of the request and the borrower’s ability and willingness to repay as scheduled. Our process also includes ongoing portfolio and credit management through portfolio diversification, lending limit constraints, credit review and approval policies, and extensive internal monitoring. For additional information regarding our credit risk management policies, refer to the section “Credit Risk Management” included in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for credit losses (defined as both the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for losses on unfunded credit commitments) to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio as well as for unfunded credit commitments. Understanding our policies on the allowance for credit losses is fundamental to understanding our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, our significant accounting policies on the allowance for credit losses are discussed in detail in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and in the section “Allowance for Credit Losses” included in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2016 Form 10-K. For additional information regarding our allowance for loan losses, refer to Note 3 of our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q.
The allowance for loan losses was $542 million at September 30, 2017 compared with $639 million at December 31, 2016. Our ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans held for investment was 0.69% as of September 30, 2017 and 0.82% as of December 31, 2016. The provision (reversal) for loan losses was $33 million and $(1) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The provision for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 2017 reflects inherent losses related to the commercial loan portfolio, which are included in the unallocated allowance. The unallocated allowance for loan losses totaled $30 million at September 30, 2017. Net loans charged-off to average total loans held for investment were 0.03% and 0.17% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared with 0.61% and 0.37% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Nonaccrual loans were $465 million at September 30, 2017 compared with $689 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease in nonaccrual loans outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily driven by payoffs of certain loans in the PEP portfolio, as well as a refinement to our credit policy related to accrual status on residential mortgages. Our ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans held for investment decreased to 0.59% at September 30, 2017 from 0.89% at December 31, 2016. Our ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans increased to 116.45% at September 30, 2017 from 92.69% at December 31, 2016. Criticized credits in the commercial segment decreased to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2017 from $2.4 billion at December 31, 2016. The decrease in criticized credits was primarily due to general improvement and payoffs in the PEP portfolio during the first nine months of 2017. Refer to Note 3 of our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q for a description of criticized credits.

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and OREO. Nonaccrual loans are those for which management has discontinued accrual of interest because there exists significant uncertainty as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest, or such loans have become contractually past due 90 days with respect to principal or interest. OREO includes property where the Bank acquired title through foreclosure or “deed in lieu” of foreclosure. For a more detailed discussion of the accounting for nonaccrual loans, see Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Total nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2017 were $466 million, or 0.30% of total assets, compared with $692 million, or 0.47% of total assets, at December 31, 2016. The decrease in nonperforming assets of $226 million from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 was driven primarily by payoffs of certain loans in the PEP loan portfolio, as well as a refinement to our credit policy related to accrual status on residential mortgages.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
TDRs are loans where we have granted a concession to a borrower as a result of the borrower experiencing financial difficulty and, consequently, we receive less than the current market-based compensation for loans with similar risk characteristics. Such loans are reviewed for impairment either individually or in pools with similar risk characteristics. Our loss mitigation strategies are designed to minimize economic loss and, at times, may result in changes to the original terms, including interest rate changes, maturity extensions, principal paydowns, covenant waivers or changes, payment deferrals, or some combination thereof. We evaluate whether these changes to the terms and conditions of our loans meet the TDR criteria after considering the specific situation of the borrower and all relevant facts and circumstances related to the modification. For our consumer portfolio segment, TDRs are typically initially placed on nonaccrual and a minimum of six consecutive months of sustained performance is required before returning to accrual status. For our commercial portfolio segment, we generally determine accrual status for TDRs by performing an individual assessment of each loan, which may include, among other factors, borrower performance under previous loan terms.

The following table provides a summary of TDRs by loan type, including nonaccrual loans and loans that have been returned to accrual status, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing
Loans held for investment 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $13 million at September 30, 2017 and $23 million at December 31, 2016.
Concentration of Risk

Commercial and industrial loans are extended principally to corporations, middle-market businesses and small businesses and are originated primarily through our commercial banking offices. Our commercial and industrial portfolio is comprised largely of the following industry sectors: finance and insurance, real estate and leasing, power and utilities, information and wholesale trade. No individual industry sector exceeded 10% of our total loans held for investment at either September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Construction and commercial mortgage loans are secured by deeds of trust or mortgages. Construction loans are extended primarily to commercial property developers and to residential builders. At September 30, 2017, 51% of the Company’s construction loan portfolio was concentrated in California, 11% to borrowers in the state of New York and 8% to borrowers in the state of Washington. The commercial mortgage loan portfolio consists of loans secured by commercial income properties. At September 30, 2017, 63% of the Company’s commercial mortgage loans were made to borrowers located in California, 7% to borrowers in the state of New York and 7% to borrowers in the state of Washington.
Residential mortgage loans are originated and secured by one-to-four family residential properties, through our multiple channel network, including branches, private bankers, mortgage brokers, telephone services and web-based and mobile internet banking applications. We do not have a program for originating or purchasing subprime loan products and we hold the majority of the loans we originate.
At September 30, 2017, payment terms on 37% of our residential mortgage loans required a monthly payment that covers the full amount of interest due, but did not reduce the principal balance. At origination, these interest-only loans had strong credit profiles and had weighted average LTV ratios of approximately 65%. The remainder of the portfolio consisted of regularly amortizing loans.
Home equity and other consumer loans are originated principally through our branch network and Private Banking offices. Approximately 31% and 32% of the home equity loans and lines were supported by first liens on residential properties as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. To manage risk associated with lending commitments, we review all equity-secured lines annually for creditworthiness and may reduce or freeze limits, to the extent permitted by laws and regulations. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q for additional information on refreshed FICO scores and refreshed LTV ratios for our residential mortgage loans at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

In October 2017, wildfires occurred in a number of California counties where the Bank has branches and does business. The Company is assessing the potential consequences for its business from these events to determine whether it has incurred any significant losses as a result of these wildfires.
As of September 30, 2017, our sovereign and non-sovereign debt exposure to European countries was not material.

Market Risk Management

The objective of market risk management is to mitigate any adverse impact on earnings and capital arising from changes in interest rates and other market variables. Market risk management supports our broad objective of enhancing shareholder value, which encompasses the achievement of stable earnings growth while promoting capital stability over time. Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from an adverse change in the market value of financial instruments caused by fluctuations in market prices or rates. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises from instruments, positions and transactions entered into for purposes other than trading and for trading. Other than trading interest rate risk arises from loans, securities, deposits, borrowings, securities purchased under agreements to resell, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, securities borrowing and lending transactions, and derivative instruments. Trading interest rate risk primarily arises from trading activities at MUAH's broker-dealer subsidiary, MUSA, and derivative contracts MUB enters into as a financial intermediary for customers.

Market Risk Governance
The MRM Policy, adopted by the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors, governs the Company’s management and oversight of market risk. The MRM Policy establishes the Company’s risk tolerance by outlining standards for measuring market risk, creates Board-level limits for specific market risks, and establishes MRMC responsibilities and oversight of market risk activities.
ARC, composed of selected senior officers of the Company, supports the MRM Policy setting process by striving to ensure that the Company has an effective process to identify, monitor, measure and manage market risk as required by the MRM Policy. ARC provides oversight of the risk management framework and reviews and discusses market risk management reports and trends. MRMC approves the trading policies that govern the Company’s activities. ALCO is responsible for the approval of specific interest rate risk management programs, including those related to interest rate hedging, investment securities and wholesale funding of MUAH, along with approval of capital policies.
The Treasurer is primarily responsible for the implementation of interest rate risk management strategies approved by ALCO and for operational management of market risk, as defined above, through funding, investment and derivatives hedging activities. The MRM unit is responsible for monitoring market risk and functions independently of all operating and management units and subsidiaries.
The Company has separate and distinct methods for managing the market risk associated with our asset and liability management activities and our trading activities, as described below.

Interest Rate Risk Management
ALCO monitors interest rate risk from ALM activities on a monthly basis through a variety of modeling techniques that are used to quantify the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates. Our net interest income sensitivity analysis typically involves a simulation in which we estimate the net interest income impact of gradual parallel shifts in the yield curve of up 200 basis points and down 100 basis points over a 12-month horizon using a forecasted balance sheet.

26


Net Interest Income Sensitivity
The table below presents the estimated increase (decrease) in the Company's net interest income given a gradual parallel shift in the yield curve up 200 basis points and down 100 basis points over a 12-month horizon.

An increase in rates increases net interest income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company's asset sensitive profile increased due to changes in balance sheet composition and forecasted balance sheet activity over the next twelve months, reflecting the impact of recent rate increases on certain components of the balance sheet.
MUSA's securities borrowed or purchased under resale agreements and securities loaned or sold under repurchase agreements are included in the Company's net interest income sensitivity analysis. However, due to the short-term nature of these interest-bearing assets and liabilities, the Company also monitors net interest income sensitivity excluding these balances. Excluding the impact of MUSA, the Company would have a slightly greater asset sensitive risk profile at September 30, 2017.
We believe that our simulation provides management with a comprehensive view of the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates over the measurement horizon. However, as with any financial model, the underlying assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. In particular, two significant models used in interest rate risk measurement address residential mortgage prepayment speeds and non-maturity deposit rate and balance behaviors. The mortgage prepayment model is periodically calibrated to reflect changes in customer behavior. Model performance may be adversely affected by rapid changes in interest rates, home prices and the credit environment. The deposit model uses the Company’s historical deposit pricing to forecast future deposit pricing in its scenarios. Management’s response to future rate scenarios may deviate from historic responses as the 2008 financial crisis may have changed future competitive responses and customer behaviors with respect to deposit repricing. Actual results may differ from those derived in the simulation analysis due to unexpected market events, unanticipated changes in customer behavior, market interest rates, product pricing, and investment, funding and hedging activities.
Investment Securities
Our ALM securities portfolio includes both securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our ALM securities portfolio fair values were $26.8 billion and $22.7 billion, respectively. Our ALM securities portfolio is comprised of RMBS, Cash Flow CLOs, CMBS, U.S. Treasury securities and government-sponsored agency securities. The portfolio had an expected weighted average life of 4.5 years at September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, approximately $1.9 billion of the portfolio was pledged to secure trust and public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we purchased $9.1 billion and sold $1.9 billion of securities as part of our investment portfolio strategy, while $3.1 billion of ALM securities matured, were paid down, or were called.
Based on current prepayment projections, the estimated ALM securities portfolio’s effective duration was 3.6 years at September 30, 2017, compared with 4.0 years at December 31, 2016. Effective duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a bond portfolio to immediate parallel shifts in interest rates. An effective duration of 3.6 years suggests an expected price decrease of approximately 3.6% for an immediate 1.0% parallel increase in interest rates.
In addition to our ALM securities, our securities available for sale portfolio includes approximately $1.5 billion of direct bank purchase bonds that are largely managed within our Regional Bank and U.S. Wholesale & Investment Banking operating segments. These instruments are accounted for as securities, but underwritten as loans with terms that are closely aligned with traditional commercial loan features, and are subject to national

27


bank regulatory lending authority standards. These instruments typically are not issued in bearer form, nor are they registered with the SEC or the Depository Trust Company. Additionally, these instruments generally contain certain transferability restrictions and are not assigned external credit ratings. 
ALM and Other Risk Management Derivatives
The gross negative fair value of ALM derivatives decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily as a result of changes in interest rate swap rates and hedge terminations. Other risk management derivatives are primarily used to manage non-interest rate related risks. For additional discussion of derivative instruments and our hedging strategies, see Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q.

Trading Activities
Trading activities consist primarily of activities at MUAH's broker-dealer subsidiary, MUSA, and derivative contracts MUB enters into as a financial intermediary for customers. MUSA transacts as principal and agent for a variety of securities and exchange traded derivatives. By acting as a financial intermediary, MUB is able to provide our customers with access to a range of products from the securities, foreign exchange and derivatives markets. We generally take offsetting positions to mitigate our exposure to market risk.
The Company monitors market risk from trading activities by utilizing a combination of position limits, VaR, and stop-loss limits, applied at an aggregated level and to various sub-components within those limits. Positions are controlled and reported both in notional and VaR terms. Our calculation of VaR estimates how high the loss in fair value might be, at a 99% confidence level, due to an adverse shift in market prices over a period of ten business days. VaR at the trading activity level is managed within the maximum limit of $38 million established by Board policy for total trading positions. The VaR model incorporates assumptions on key parameters, including holding period and historical volatility.

Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk is the risk that an institution's financial condition or overall safety and soundness is adversely affected by an inability, or perceived inability, to meet its contractual, including contingent, obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain a sufficient amount of liquidity and diversity of funding sources to allow an institution to meet obligations in both stable and adverse conditions.
The management of liquidity risk is governed by MUAH ALM and Liquidity Risk Management Policies. The MUAH ALM Policy is under the oversight of ALCO, which oversees first line liquidity risk management activities conducted by Treasury, and the Audit & Finance Committee of the Board. Treasury formulates the funding, liquidity and contingency planning strategies for the Company, the Bank and MUSA, and is responsible for identifying, managing and reporting on liquidity risk. The Liquidity Risk Management Policies for the Company, the Bank and MUSA are under the oversight of the ARC and the Risk Committee of the Board. MRM conducts independent oversight and governance of liquidity risk management activities to establish sound policies and effective risk and independent monitoring controls. We are also subject to a Contingency Funding Plan framework that identifies actions to be taken to help ensure adequate liquidity if an event should occur that disrupts or adversely affects the normal funding activities of the Company, the Bank or MUSA.
Liquidity risk is managed using a total balance sheet perspective that analyzes all sources and uses of liquidity including loans, investments, deposits and borrowings, as well as off-balance sheet exposures. Although we make an effort to diversify our sources of liquidity, as discussed below, we will be required to maintain a minimum amount of TLAC-eligible debt due to affiliates beginning January 1, 2019. Various tools are used to measure and monitor liquidity, including forecasting of the sources and uses of cash flows over multiple time horizons and stress testing of the forecasts under various scenarios. Stress testing, which incorporates both institution-specific, and systemic market scenarios, as well as a combination scenario that adversely affects the Company's liquidity position and profile, facilitates the identification of appropriate remedial measures to help ensure that the Company maintains adequate liquidity in adverse conditions. Such measures may include extending the maturity profile of liabilities, optimizing liability levels through pricing strategies, adding new funding sources, altering dependency on certain funding sources, adjusting asset growth and financing or selling assets.
In December 2016, the Federal Reserve finalized rules imposing new TLAC requirements on GSIBs with operations in the U.S., such as MUFG. The final rule includes an Internal TLAC requirement which sets a minimum amount of loss-absorbing instruments, which must be issued by the Company to MUFG or BTMU (or another wholly-owned non-U.S. subsidiary of MUFG) due to MUFG's single point of entry resolution approach. These loss absorbing instruments are comprised of Tier 1 regulatory capital and long-term debt. TLAC Tier 1 regulatory capital is designed to absorb ongoing losses, while the conversion of TLAC-eligible long-term debt into common equity of the Company is designed to recapitalize the Company prior to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. The Company will be required to comply with these new rules by January 1, 2019. The Company expects to restructure existing debt issued to BTMU and replace a portion of its externally-placed debt with the issuance of internal TLAC-eligible debt issued to BTMU or MUFG in order to comply with the new rules. See "Supervision and Regulation-Dodd-Frank Act and Related Regulations" in Part I, Item 1. in our 2016 Form 10-K.
    
We maintain a substantial level of available liquidity in the form of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet funding sources. Sources of liquidity include cash at the Federal Reserve, unencumbered liquid securities, and capacity to borrow on a secured basis at the FHLB of San Francisco and the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window. Total unpledged securities increased by $9.5 billion to $28.7 billion at September 30, 2017 from $19.2 billion at December 31, 2016. Our primary funding sources are customer deposits, secured FHLB advances, and unsecured short-term and long-term debt. Total deposits were down $1.6 billion from $86.9 billion at December 31, 2016 to $85.3 billion at September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, the Bank had $5.6 billion of borrowings outstanding with the FHLB of San Francisco, and the Bank had a remaining combined unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB of San Francisco and the Federal Reserve Bank of $26.1 billion. The Bank maintains a $12.0 billion unsecured bank note program. Available funding under the bank note program was $5.9 billion at September 30, 2017. We do not have any firm commitments in place to sell additional notes under this program.

In addition to managing liquidity risk on a consolidated basis and at each of the major subsidiaries (the Bank and MUSA), we assess and monitor liquidity at the parent company (MUAH) and the other non-bank subsidiaries. The parent company maintains sufficient liquidity to meet expected obligations, without access to the wholesale funding markets or dividends from subsidiaries, for at least 20 months. As of September 30, 2017, the parent company’s liquidity exceeded 20 months.

MUAH issues debt securities through a $3.6 billion shelf registration statement with the SEC. As of September 30, 2017, $1.4 billion of debt or other securities were available for issuance. We do not have any firm commitments in place to sell additional securities under this shelf registration statement.

MUAH also borrows, on a long-term basis, from BTMU. On March 28, 2017, MUAH entered into a Credit Agreement with BTMU under which MUAH borrowed $3.5 billion. Simultaneously with the funding of this loan on March 31, 2017, the Bank prepaid three other loans from BTMU totaling $3.5 billion. At September 30, 2017, MUAH’s total debt outstanding to BTMU totaled $4.4 billion. This compares with $845 million at December 31, 2016.

MUAH’s subsidiaries also may borrow on a long-term basis from BTMU and affiliates. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had total long-term debt issued to BTMU and affiliates of $6.2 billion, including $1.2 billion of subordinated debt with a capital component.

The Company’s total wholesale funding included $10.7 billion of long term debt (excluding nonrecourse debt) and $6.0 billion of short-term debt at September 30, 2017. For additional information regarding our outstanding debt, refer to Note 6 and Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q. We evaluate and monitor the stability and reliability of our various funding sources to help ensure that we have sufficient liquidity in adverse circumstances.

Our costs and ability to raise funds in the capital markets are influenced by our credit ratings. In October 2017 Moody's upgraded MUAH's long-term senior debt rating to A2 from A3. The following table provides our credit ratings as of September 30, 2017:

For further information, including information about rating agency assessments, see “The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ’s and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group’s credit ratings and financial or regulatory condition could adversely affect our operations” and "Our credit ratings are important in order to maintain liquidity" in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2016 Form 10-K.

The OCC, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC jointly adopted a final rule to implement a standardized quantitative liquidity requirement generally consistent with the LCR standards established by the BCBS. The LCR rule is designed to ensure that covered banking organizations maintain an adequate level of cash and HQLA, such as central bank reserves and government and corporate debt, to meet estimated net liquidity needs in a short-term stress scenario using liquidity inflow and outflow assumptions provided in the rule (net cash outflow). The phase-in period began on January 1, 2016, with full compliance required by January 1, 2017. At September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the LCR requirements.

For further information regarding this rule, see "Supervision and Regulation-Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Standards-Liquidity Coverage Ratio" in Part I, Item 1. in our 2016 Form 10-K and “The effects of changes or increases in, or supervisory enforcement of, banking or other laws and regulations or governmental fiscal or monetary policies could adversely affect us” in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q.

Operational Risk Management
Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. Operational risk includes legal risk, which includes exposure to fines, penalties, or punitive damages resulting from supervisory actions, as well as private settlements, but excludes strategic and reputation risk. In particular, information security, including its impact on business continuity plans, is a significant operational risk element for the Company and includes the risk of losses resulting from cyber attacks. See “We are subject to a wide array of operational risks, including, but not limited to, cyber-security risks” in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2016 Form 10-K. Operational risk is mitigated through a system of internal controls that are designed to keep these risks at appropriate levels. For additional information regarding our operational risk management policies, refer to the section “Operational Risk Management” included in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Business Segments

During the second quarter of 2017, the composition of the Company’s segments was revised to reflect the realignment of its business model in the Americas, which includes MUAH. The realignment consolidated the customer base of the Investment Banking and Markets segment, including its products and services, into the activities performed within various other segments. We now have four reportable segments: Regional Bank, U.S. Wholesale & Investment Banking, Transaction Banking, and MUFG Securities Americas. Prior period results have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. For a more detailed description of these reportable segments, refer to Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q.
 
Unlike U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), there is no standardized or authoritative guidance for management accounting. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable with those presented by other companies and they are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be reported by our business units if they were unique economic entities. The information set forth in the tables that follow is prepared using various management accounting methodologies to measure the performance of the individual segments. During the normal course of business, the Company occasionally changes or updates its management accounting methodologies or organizational structure. Certain of the entities transferred to the IHC are not measured using a "market view" perspective. For a description of these methodologies, see Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q.
Regional Bank
The Regional Bank offers a wide range of financial products and services to individuals and businesses on the West Coast. Capabilities are delivered through a network of retail and private banking offices, digital channels, relationship managers, call centers and ATMs.

Consumers have access to checking and deposit accounts, residential mortgage loans, consumer loans, home equity lines of credit, credit cards, bill and loan payment services, and merchant services.

Net interest income increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the prior year periods, primarily due to higher average residential mortgage loan balances and a higher funds transfer pricing credit due to higher average deposit balances and an increase in the funds transfer pricing credit rate. Noninterest expense increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to the launch of PurePoint Financial, higher project related expenses, increased total staff expense, and increased support unit costs. The provision for credit losses during 2017 was primarily due to a reserve build related to the commercial loan portfolio and retail credit card losses.

Net interest income decreased in 2017 compared with 2016 due to lower average loan balances and lower spreads as a result of reductions in oil and gas exposure, predominantly reserved-based loans, and a shift in strategy away from loan-only mid-corporate clients. Noninterest income was lower during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with the same period in 2016, primarily due to lower transaction referral fees earned from a related party. The reversal of provision for credit losses during 2017 was due to general improvement in customer credit quality, while the provision for credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to increased reserves for the oil and gas portfolio.

Transaction Banking earns revenue primarily from a net interest income funds transfer pricing credit on deposit liabilities, as well as service charges on deposit accounts and trust management fees. The increase in net interest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the prior year periods was driven by widening spreads on deposits and higher average deposit balances.

Net interest income increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to higher yields on securities borrowed and purchased under resale agreements and higher balances and yields on trading account assets. Noninterest income increased due primarily to higher investment banking fees and higher fees from affiliates, partially offset by a decrease in trading account income. Noninterest expense increased due to increases in salaries and employee benefits expense resulting from increased head count and transaction referral fees paid to affiliates.

Critical Accounting Estimates
MUAH’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which includes management estimates and judgments. The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on estimates used to measure the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. For example, we use discount factors and other assumptions to measure certain assets and liabilities. A change in the discount factor or other important assumptions could significantly increase or decrease the reported amounts of those assets and liabilities and result in either a beneficial or an adverse impact to our financial results. We use historical loss factors, adjusted for current conditions, to estimate the credit losses inherent in our loan and lease portfolios held for investment and certain off-balance sheet commitments on the balance sheet date. Actual losses could differ significantly from the loss factors that we use. Other significant estimates that we use include the valuation of certain derivatives and securities, the assumptions used in measuring our transfer pricing revenue, pension obligations, goodwill impairment, and assumptions regarding our effective tax rates. Management has reviewed and approved these critical accounting policies and has discussed these policies with the Audit & Finance Committee.
Understanding our accounting policies is fundamental to understanding our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, both our critical accounting estimates and our significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in our 2016 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting estimates during the third quarter of 2017.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following tables present reconciliations between certain Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) amounts and specific non-GAAP measures as used to compute selected non-GAAP financial ratios. References to the privatization transaction in this report refer to the transaction on November 4, 2008, when we became a privately held company. All of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are owned by BTMU and MUFG.

Disclosure of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

We are disclosing the following information pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), which requires an issuer to disclose whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with natural persons or entities designated by the U.S. government under specified Executive Orders. The scope of activities that must be reported includes activities not prohibited by U.S. law and conducted outside the United States in compliance with applicable local law. Because we are indirectly wholly-owned by MUFG, a Japanese corporation, our disclosure includes activities, transactions or dealings conducted outside the United States by non-U.S. affiliates of MUFG which are not controlled by us. We have requested that MUFG provide us a description of reportable activity under Section 13(r) and have received the following information:
During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, a non-U.S. subsidiary of MUFG engaged in business activities with entities in, or affiliated with, Iran, including counterparties owned or controlled by the Iranian government. Specifically, MUFG’s non-U.S. banking subsidiary, BTMU, 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, and in some cases, in connection with other petroleum-related transactions with Iran by its customers. These transactions did not involve U.S. dollars nor clearing services of U.S. banks for the settlement of payments. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the aggregate interest and fee income relating to these transactions was less than ¥40 million, representing less than 0.005 percent of MUFG’s total interest and fee income. Some of these transactions were conducted through the use of non-U.S. dollar correspondent accounts and other similar settlement accounts maintained with BTMU outside the United States by Iranian financial institutions and other entities in, or affiliated with, Iran. In addition to such accounts, BTMU receives deposits in Japan from, and provides settlement services in Japan to, fewer than ten 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 quarter ended September 30, 2017, the average aggregate balance of deposits held in these accounts represented less than 0.1 percent of the average balance of MUFG’s total deposits. The fee income from the transactions attributable to these account holders was less than ¥3 million, representing less than 0.001 percent of MUFG’s total fee income. BTMU also holds loans that were arranged prior to changes in applicable laws and regulations to borrowers in, or affiliated with, Iran, including entities owned by the Iranian government, the outstanding balance of which was less than ¥60 million, representing less than 0.0001 percent of MUFG’s total loans, as of September 30, 2017. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the aggregate gross interest and fee income relating to these loan transactions was less than ¥20 million, representing less than 0.005 percent of MUFG’s total interest and fee income.
We understand that BTMU will continue to participate in these types of transactions. Following the international relaxation of sanctions against Iran in January 2016, we understand that the balance of non-U.S. dollar correspondent accounts described above at BTMU has remained relatively stable since our prior disclosure, and that BTMU recognizes that such transactions remain subject to compliance with applicable U.S. and Japanese regulations and remaining Japanese and international sanctions.
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A discussion of our market risk exposure is incorporated by reference to Part I, Item 2. of this Form 10-Q under the caption “Risk Management - Market Risk Management” and to Part II, Item 1A. of this Form 10-Q under the caption “Risk Factors.”

40


Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the third quarter of 2017, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations
MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (MUAH) is a financial holding company, bank holding company and intermediate holding company whose principal subsidiaries are MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (MUB or the Bank) and MUFG Securities Americas Inc. (MUSA) (formerly Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc.). MUAH provides a wide range of financial services to consumers, small businesses, middle-market companies and major corporations nationally and internationally. The Company also provides various business, banking, financial, administrative and support services, and facilities for BTMU in connection with the operation and administration of all of BTMU's business in the U.S. (including BTMU's U.S. branches). The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation, its subsidiaries, and its consolidated variable interest entities (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC. However, they do not include all of the disclosures necessary for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the third quarter of 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results anticipated for the full year. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (2016 Form 10-K).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP also requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Although such estimates contemplate current conditions and management’s expectations of how they may change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. This could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition in the near term. Critical estimates made by management in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses (Note 3), goodwill impairment, fair value of financial instruments (Note 8), hedge accounting (Note 9), pension accounting (Note 11), income taxes, and transfer pricing.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance on the core principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU applies to all contracts with customers, except financial instruments, guarantees, lease contracts, insurance contracts and certain non-monetary exchanges. It provides the following five-step revenue recognition model: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition, the ASU requires additional disclosure of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted in 2017. The Company plans to apply the modified retrospective method upon adoption on January 1, 2018. As part of our implementation progress to date, we are in the implementation phase and are evaluating potential changes to processes and controls. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends the accounting, presentation, and disclosure requirements for certain financial instruments. The ASU requires that all equity investments be recorded at fair value through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method or result in consolidation of the investee); however, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus

47

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations (Continued)

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 ASU also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability under the fair value option. The ASU 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. In addition, the ASU amends the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments and now requires the use of an exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted for the amendments to the accounting for financial liabilities under the fair value option. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Accounting for Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will require entities that lease assets (i.e., lessees) to recognize assets and liabilities on their balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by those leases.  The accounting by entities that own the assets leased (i.e., lessors) will remain largely unchanged; however, leveraged lease accounting will no longer be permitted for leases that commence after the effective date. The ASU will also require qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019 and requires a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt the ASU on January 1, 2019. The Company recently began the technology design phase of this project to support the ongoing lessee accounting required under the ASU. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
    
Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). The ASU amends ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, with respect to assessing whether an entity is a principal (and thus presents revenue gross) or an agent (and thus presents revenue net). The amendments retain the guidance that the principal in an arrangement controls a good or service before it is transferred to a customer and clarify: (1) that an entity must first identify the specified good or service being provided to the customer; (2) that the unit of account for the principal versus agent assessment is each specified good or service promised in a contract; (3) indicators and examples to help an entity evaluate whether it is the principal; and (4) how to assess whether an entity controls services performed by another party. The ASU is effective upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09, which the Company plans to adopt beginning January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted in 2017. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides new guidance on the accounting for credit losses for instruments that are within its scope. For loans and debt securities accounted for at amortized cost, certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, net investments in leases, and trade receivables, the ASU requires an entity to recognize its estimate of credit losses expected over the life of the financial instrument or exposure. Lifetime expected credit losses on purchased financial assets with credit deterioration will be recognized as an allowance with an offset to the cost basis of the asset. For available for sale debt securities, the new standard will require recognition of expected credit losses by recognizing an allowance for credit losses when the fair value of the security is below amortized cost and the recognition of this allowance is limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and fair value. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted in 2019. The Company plans to adopt the ASU on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently collecting business and data requirements to support the project planning phase of the implementation. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations (Continued)

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to address diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company's statement of cash flows.

Income Tax Consequences of Intra-Entity Asset Transfers
    
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity assets other than inventory. The ASU will require recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, to address diversity in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and the amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018 using a retrospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company's statement of cash flows.

Clarifying the Definition of a Business
     
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which specifies when a set of assets and activities constitutes a business. The ASU adds a “screen” to determine when a set is not a business, thus reducing the number of transactions deemed businesses. Specifically, if the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset (or a group of similar identifiable assets), the set is not deemed a business. Otherwise, to be considered a business, a set must include at least one input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.  Although outputs are not required to be a business, the ASU narrows the definition of an output and limits the instances where sets that lack outputs are deemed businesses. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods prospectively beginning on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The ASU removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under the amendments, a goodwill impairment loss will be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss. The ASU will be effective for MUAH beginning January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


49

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations (Continued)

Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of
Nonfinancial Assets

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, to clarify the scope of ASC 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (issued as part of ASU 2014-09), and provide guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The ASU clarifies that the unit of account under ASC 610-20 is each distinct nonfinancial or in substance nonfinancial asset and that a financial asset that meets the definition of an “in substance nonfinancial asset” is within the scope of ASC 610-20. The ASU eliminates rules specifically addressing sales of real estate and removes exceptions to the financial asset derecognition model. The ASU is effective upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09, which the Company plans to adopt beginning January 1, 2018. It allows an entity to use either a retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which amends the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for sponsored defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans.  The ASU also now mandates that only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization on certain internally produced assets. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018, with retrospective application for the new income statement presentation requirements and prospective application for the new capitalization requirement. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which requires premiums on certain purchased callable debt securities to be amortized to the earliest call date. Under current guidance, premiums on callable debt securities are generally amortized over the contractual life of the security. The amortization period for callable debt securities purchased at a discount will not be impacted. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019 and requires a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Scope of Modification Accounting

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting, to provide guidance about which changes to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018, and will be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted.  Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which will make more hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. It also amends the disclosure requirements and changes how entities assess effectiveness. The guidance will be effective for MUAH beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. If the guidance is early adopted in an interim period, any adjustments would be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

At September 30, 2017, the Company did not have the intent to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position before a recovery of the amortized cost, which may be at maturity. The Company also believes that it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of amortized cost.
Agency residential mortgage-backed securities consist of securities guaranteed by a U.S. government agency or a government-sponsored agency such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. These securities are collateralized by residential mortgage loans and may be prepaid at par prior to maturity. The unrealized losses on agency residential mortgage-backed securities resulted from changes in interest rates and not from changes in credit quality. At September 30, 2017, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost

basis of these securities because the Company determined that the strength of the issuers’ guarantees through direct obligations or support from the U.S. government is sufficient to protect the Company from losses.
Commercial mortgage-backed securities are collateralized by commercial mortgage loans and are generally subject to prepayment penalties. The unrealized losses on commercial mortgage-backed securities resulted from higher market yields since purchase. Cash flow analysis of the underlying collateral provides an estimate of other-than-temporary impairment, which is performed quarterly when the fair value of a security is lower than its amortized cost. Based on the analysis performed as of September 30, 2017, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.
The Company’s CLOs consist of Cash Flow CLOs. A Cash Flow CLO is a structured finance product that securitizes a diversified pool of loan assets into multiple classes of notes. Cash Flow CLOs pay the note holders through the receipt of interest and principal repayments from the underlying loans unlike other types of CLOs that pay note holders through the trading and sale of underlying collateral. Unrealized losses typically arise from widening credit spreads and deteriorating credit quality of the underlying collateral. Cash flow analysis of the underlying collateral provides an estimate of other-than-temporary impairment, which is performed quarterly when the fair value of a security is lower than its amortized cost. Based on the analysis performed as of September 30, 2017, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.
Other debt securities primarily consist of direct bank purchase bonds, which are not rated by external credit rating agencies. The unrealized losses on these bonds resulted 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 Company estimates the unrealized loss for each security by assessing the underlying collateral of each security. The Company 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 other-than-temporary impairment, which is performed quarterly when the fair value of a security is lower than its amortized cost and potential impairment is identified. Based on the analysis performed as of September 30, 2017, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.
The fair value of debt securities available for sale by contractual maturity are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

Amortized cost is defined as the original purchase cost, adjusted for any accretion or amortization of a purchase discount or premium, less principal payments and any impairment previously recognized in earnings. The carrying amount is the difference between the amortized cost and the amount recognized in OCI. The amount recognized in OCI primarily reflects the unrealized gain or loss at date of transfer from available for sale to the held to maturity classification, net of amortization, which is recorded in interest income on securities.

Credit Quality Indicators
Management analyzes the Company's loan portfolios by applying specific monitoring policies and procedures that vary according to the relative risk profile and other characteristics within the various loan portfolios. Loans within the commercial portfolio segment are classified as either pass or criticized. Criticized credits are those that have regulatory risk ratings of special mention, substandard or doubtful; classified credits are those that have regulatory risk ratings of 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. 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.

The following tables summarize the loans in the commercial portfolio segment monitored for credit quality based on regulatory risk ratings.

Note 3—Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)


The Company also monitors the credit quality for substantially all of its consumer portfolio segment using credit scores provided by FICO and refreshed LTV ratios. FICO credit scores are refreshed at least quarterly to monitor the quality of the portfolio. Refreshed LTV measures the principal balance of the loan as a percentage of the estimated current value of the property securing the loan. Home equity loans are evaluated using combined LTV, which measures the principal balance of the combined loans that have liens against the property (including unused credit lines for home equity products) as a percentage of the estimated current value of the property securing the loans. The LTV ratios are refreshed on a quarterly basis, using the most recent home pricing index data available for the property location. 

The following tables summarize the loans in the consumer portfolio segment based on refreshed FICO scores and refreshed LTV ratios at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. These tables exclude loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, as discussed above. The amounts presented reflect unpaid principal balances less partial charge-offs.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
The following table provides a summary of the Company’s recorded investment in TDRs as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The summary includes those TDRs that are on nonaccrual status and those that continue to accrue interest. The Company had $30 million and $59 million in commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers with loan modifications classified as TDRs as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

For the third quarter of 2017, TDR modifications in the commercial portfolio segment were primarily composed of interest rate changes, maturity extensions, covenant waivers, conversions from revolving lines of credit to term loans, or some combination thereof. In the consumer portfolio segment, primarily all of the modifications were composed of interest rate reductions and maturity extensions. Charge-offs related to TDR modifications for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 were de minimis. For the commercial and consumer portfolio segments, the allowance for loan losses for TDRs is measured on an individual loan basis or in pools with similar risk characteristics.

For loans in the consumer portfolio in which impairment is measured using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, historical payment defaults and the propensity to redefault are some of the factors considered when determining the allowance for loan losses.
Loan Impairment
Loans that are individually evaluated for impairment include larger nonaccruing loans within the commercial and industrial, construction, and commercial mortgage loan portfolios and loans modified in a TDR. The Company records an impairment allowance when the value of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan.
The following tables show information about impaired loans by class as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

In the normal course of business, the Company has certain financial interests in entities which have been determined to be VIEs. Generally, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or other legal structure where the equity investors do not have substantive voting rights, an obligation to absorb the entity’s losses or the right to receive the entity’s returns, or the ability to direct the significant activities of the entity. The following discusses the Company’s consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs.
Consolidated VIEs
The following tables present the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

LIHC Investments

The Company sponsors, manages and syndicates two LIHC investment fund structures. These investments are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of U.S. federal tax credits and deductions. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary and has consolidated these investments because the Company has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the funds’ economic performances and also has the obligation to absorb losses of the funds that could potentially be significant to the funds. Neither creditors nor equity investors in the LIHC investments have any recourse to the general credit of the Company, and the Company’s creditors do not have any recourse to the assets of the consolidated LIHC investments.

Leasing Investments

The Company has leasing investments primarily in the wind energy, rail and coal industries. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary and has consolidated these investments because the Company has the power to direct the activities of these entities that significantly impact the entities’ economic performances. The Company also has the right to receive potentially significant benefits or the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses of these investments.

Unconsolidated VIEs
The following tables present the Company’s carrying amounts related to the unconsolidated VIEs at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The tables also present the Company’s maximum exposure to loss resulting from its involvement with these VIEs. The maximum exposure to loss represents the carrying amount of the Company’s involvement plus any legally binding unfunded commitments in the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIEs become worthless. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had noncash increases in unfunded commitments on LIHC investments of $22 million and $47 million, respectively, included within other liabilities.

LIHC Investments
The Company makes investments in partnerships and funds formed by third parties. The primary purpose of the partnerships and funds is to invest in low-income housing units and distribute tax credits and tax benefits associated with the underlying properties to investors. The Company is a limited partner investor and is allocated tax credits and deductions, but has no voting or other rights to direct the activities of the funds or partnerships, and therefore is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate these investments.

The following table presents the impact of the unconsolidated LIHC investments on our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

Note 4—Variable Interest Entities (Continued)


Leasing Investments
The unconsolidated VIEs related to leasing investments are primarily renewable energy investments. Through its subsidiaries, the Company makes equity investments in LLCs established by third party sponsors. The LLCs are created to operate and manage wind, solar, hydroelectric and cogeneration power plant projects. Power generated by the projects is sold to third parties through long-term purchase power agreements. As a limited investor member, the Company is allocated production tax credits and taxable income or losses associated with the projects. The Company has no voting or other rights to direct the significant activities of the LLCs, and therefore is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate these investments.

Other Investments
The Company has other investments in structures formed by third parties. The Company has no voting or other rights to direct the activities of the investments that would most significantly impact the entities’ performance, and therefore is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate these investments.


Note 5—Securities Financing Arrangements    
The Company enters into derivative transactions, securities purchased under agreements to resell, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions. The Company executes these transactions to facilitate customer match-book activity, cover short positions and fund the Company's trading inventory. The Company manages credit exposure from certain transactions by entering into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with counterparties. The relevant agreements allow for the efficient closeout of the transaction, liquidation and set-off of collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty following a default. In certain cases the Company may agree for collateral to be posted to a third party custodian under a tri-party arrangement that enables the Company to take control of such collateral in the event of a counterparty default. Default events generally include, among other things, failure to pay, insolvency or bankruptcy of a counterparty.

The Company primarily enters into derivative contracts, repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements with counterparties utilizing standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements, Master Repurchase Agreements, and Master Securities Lending Agreements, respectively. These agreements generally establish the terms and conditions of the transactions, including a legal right to set-off amounts payable and receivable between the Company and a counterparty, regardless of whether or not such amounts have matured or have contingency features.

MUAH Senior Debt due to BTMU

During the first quarter of 2017, MUAH borrowed $3.5 billion from BTMU in the form of a senior loan. MUAH may prepay the loan prior to the stated maturity date in whole or in part and in an amount of not less than $500,000. BTMU may accelerate the payment of the loan, in the case of certain events of default. The proceeds of the BTMU Loan have funded loans to MUAH’s subsidiaries. Simultaneously with the funding of the BTMU Loan on March 31, 2017, the Bank prepaid three loans from BTMU totaling $3.5 billion.

Note 8—Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Valuation Methodologies
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The Company has an established and documented process for determining fair value for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. When available, quoted market prices are used to determine fair value. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced parameters, such as yield curves, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, commodity prices and implied volatilities. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure the financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality and that consider the Company's own creditworthiness in determining the fair value of its trading assets and liabilities. For further information related to the valuation methodologies used for certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2016 Form 10-K.
Fair Value Hierarchy
In determining fair value, the Company maximizes the use of observable market inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market-derived or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimate about market data. Based on the observability of the significant inputs used, the Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with the three-level hierarchy as defined by GAAP. This hierarchy is based on the quality, observability and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. For further information related to the fair value hierarchy, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2016 Form 10-K.
Valuation Processes
The Company has established a valuation committee to oversee its valuation framework for measuring fair value and to establish valuation policies and procedures. The valuation committee’s responsibilities include reviewing fair value measurements and categorizations within the fair value hierarchy and monitoring the use of pricing sources, mark-to-model valuations, dealer quotes and other valuation processes. The valuation committee reports to the Company’s Disclosure & Accounting Committee and meets at least quarterly.

Independent price verification is performed periodically by the Company to test the market data and valuations of substantially all instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As part of its independent price verification procedures, the Company compares pricing sources, tests data variances within certain thresholds and performs variance analysis, utilizing third party valuations and both internal and external models. Results are formally reported on a quarterly basis to the valuation committee. For further information related to valuation processes, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2016 Form 10-K.

The direct bank purchase bonds use a return on equity valuation technique. This technique uses significant unobservable inputs such as market-required return on capital, probability of default and loss severity. Increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Note 8—Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

Fair Value Measurement on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 that were still held on the consolidated balance sheet as of the respective periods ended, the following tables present the fair value of such assets by the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each fair value adjustment.

Loans include individually impaired loans that are measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral or the fair value of the loan. The fair value of impaired loans was determined based on appraised values of the underlying collateral or market pricing for the loan, adjusted for management judgment, as of the measurement date. The fair value of commercial loans held for sale may be based on secondary market offerings for loans with similar characteristics or a valuation methodology utilizing the appraised value to outstanding loan balance ratio. The fair value of OREO was primarily based on independent appraisals. The fair value of private equity investments and renewable energy investments was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and market pricing, adjusted for management judgment, as of the measurement date. The fair value of software and intangible assets was determined using appraised values and market pricing, adjusted for management judgment, as of the measurement date. The fair value of consolidated LIHC VIE investments was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging
The Company enters into certain derivative and other financial instruments primarily to assist customers with their risk management objectives and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk. When entering into derivatives on behalf of customers, the Company generally acts as a financial intermediary by offsetting a significant portion of the market risk for these derivatives with third parties. The Company may also enter into derivatives for other risk management purposes. All derivative instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
Counterparty credit risk is inherent in derivative instruments. In order to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk, the Company utilizes credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures and master netting and credit support annex agreements. Additionally, the Company considers counterparty credit quality and the creditworthiness of the Company in estimating the fair value of derivative instruments.
The table below presents the notional amounts and fair value amounts of the Company's derivative instruments reported on the consolidated balance sheets, segregated between derivative instruments designated and qualifying as hedging instruments and derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Asset and liability values are presented gross, excluding the impact of legally enforceable master netting and credit support annex agreements. The fair value of asset and liability derivatives designated and qualifying as hedging instruments and derivatives designated as other risk management are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively. The fair value of asset and liability trading derivatives are included in trading account assets and trading account liabilities, respectively.

We recognized net losses of $3 million and $9 million on other risk management derivatives for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and net gains of $2 million and net losses of $37 million on other risk management derivatives for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, which are included in other noninterest income.

Derivatives Designated and Qualifying as Hedging Instruments
The Company uses interest rate derivatives to manage the financial impact on the Company from changes in market interest rates. These instruments are used to manage interest rate risk relating to specified groups of assets and liabilities, primarily LIBOR-based commercial loans and debt issuances. Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges.

81

Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging (Continued)


Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate on LIBOR indexed loans, and to a lesser extent, to hedge interest rate risk on rollover debt. 
The Company used interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $10.4 billion at September 30, 2017 to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate on LIBOR indexed loans. To the extent effective, payments received or paid under the swap contract offset fluctuations in interest income on loans caused by changes in the relevant LIBOR index. The Company used interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $200 million at September 30, 2017 to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate on LIBOR indexed short-term borrowings. At September 30, 2017, the weighted average remaining life of the active cash flow hedges was 3.6 years.
For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instruments is 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. Gains and losses representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in noninterest expense in the period in which they arise. At September 30, 2017, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $11 million of income from AOCI to net interest income during the twelve months ending September 30, 2018. This amount could differ from amounts actually realized due to changes in interest rates, hedge terminations and the addition of other hedges subsequent to September 30, 2017.
The following tables present the amount and location of the net gains and losses recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and changes in stockholder’s equity for derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging (Continued)


Fair Value Hedges
The Company engages in an interest rate hedging strategy in which one or more interest rate swaps are associated with a specified interest bearing liability, in order to convert the liability from a fixed rate to a floating rate instrument. This strategy mitigates the changes in fair value of the hedged liability caused by changes in the designated benchmark interest rate, U.S. dollar LIBOR.
For fair value hedges, any ineffectiveness is recognized in noninterest expense in the period in which it arises. The change in the fair value of the hedged item and the hedging instrument, to the extent completely effective, offsets with no impact on earnings.
The following table presents the gains (losses) on the Company's fair value hedges and hedged item for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively:

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Trading Derivatives
Derivative instruments classified as trading are primarily derivatives entered into as an accommodation for customers. Trading derivatives are included in trading assets or trading liabilities with changes in fair value reflected in income from trading account activities. The majority of the Company's derivative transactions for customers were essentially offset by contracts with third parties that reduce or eliminate market risk exposures.
The Company's market-linked CDs allow the customer to earn the higher of either a minimum fixed rate of interest or a return tied to either equity, commodity, or currency indices. The Company offsets its exposure to the embedded derivative contained in market-linked CDs with a matched over-the-counter option. Both the embedded derivative (when bifurcated) and hedge options are recorded at fair value with the realized and unrealized changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income within trading account activities.
The following table presents the amount of the net gains and losses for derivative instruments classified as trading reported in the consolidated statements of income under the heading trading account activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Company primarily enters into derivative contracts and repurchase agreements with counterparties utilizing standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements and Master Repurchase Agreements, respectively. These agreements generally establish the terms and conditions of the transactions, including a legal right to set-off amounts payable and receivable between the Company and a counterparty, regardless of whether or not such amounts have matured or have contingency features. For additional information related to offsetting of financial assets and liabilities, refer to Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements.

Note 12—Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
The following table summarizes the Company's commitments:
(Dollars in millions)
 
September 30, 2017
Commitments to extend credit
 
$
30,425

Issued standby and commercial letters of credit
 
5,551

Commitments to enter into forward-starting resale agreements
 
1,514

Other commitments
 
1,577

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer provided there are no violations of any condition established in the contract. Commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require maintenance of compensatory balances. Since many of the commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements.
Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit are generally contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, while commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate foreign or domestic trade transactions. Additionally, the Company enters into risk participations in bankers' acceptances wherein a fee is received to guarantee a portion of the credit risk on an acceptance of another bank. The majority of these types of commitments have terms of 1 year or less. At September 30, 2017, the carrying amount of the Company's risk participations in bankers' acceptances and standby and commercial letters of credit totaled $3 million. Estimated exposure to loss related to these commitments is covered by the allowance for losses on unfunded commitments. The carrying amounts of the standby and commercial letters of credit and the allowance for losses on unfunded credit commitments are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
The credit risk involved in issuing loan commitments and standby and commercial letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. Collateral may be obtained based on management's credit assessment of the customer.
Other commitments include collateralized financing activities, commitments to fund principal investments, other securities, and residual value guarantees.
Principal investments include direct investments in private and public companies. The Company issues commitments to provide equity and mezzanine capital financing to private and public companies through direct investments. The timing of future cash requirements to fund such commitments is generally dependent on the investment cycle. This cycle, the period over which privately held companies are funded by private equity investors and ultimately sold, merged, or taken public through an initial offering, can vary based on overall market conditions as well as the nature and type of industry in which the companies operate.
The Company occasionally enters into financial guarantee contracts where a premium is received from another financial institution counterparty to guarantee a portion of the credit risk on interest rate swap contracts entered into between the financial institution and its customer. The Company becomes liable to pay the financial institution only if the financial institution is unable to collect amounts owed to them by their customer. As of September 30, 2017, the current exposure to loss under these contracts totaled $12 million, and the maximum potential exposure to loss in the future was estimated at $40 million.
The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The Company maintains liabilities for losses from legal actions that are recorded when they are determined to be both probable in their occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes the disposition of all claims currently pending, including potential losses from claims that may exceed the liabilities recorded, and claims for loss contingencies that are considered reasonably possible to occur, will not have a material effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 13—Business Segments
During the second quarter of 2017, the composition of the Company’s segments was revised to reflect the realignment of its business model in the Americas, which includes MUAH. The realignment consolidated the customer base of the Investment Banking and Markets segment, including its products and services, into the activities performed within various other segments. We now have four reportable segments: Regional Bank, U.S. Wholesale & Investment Banking, Transaction Banking, and MUFG Securities Americas. Prior period results have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.
Regional Bank
The Regional Bank provides banking products and services to individual and business customers in California, Washington and Oregon through five major business lines.
    Consumer Banking serves consumers and small businesses through 349 full-service branches, digital channels, call centers, ATMs and alliances with other financial institutions. Products and services include checking and deposit accounts; residential mortgage loans; consumer loans; home equity lines of credit; credit cards; bill and loan payment services; and merchant services.

Commercial Banking provides commercial and asset-based loans to clients across a wide range of industries with annual revenues up to $1 billion. Through partnerships with other areas of the Bank, Commercial Banking clients also have access to non-credit products and services including global treasury management, capital markets solutions, foreign exchange and interest rate risk and commodity risk management products and services.

Real Estate Industries serves professional real estate investors and developers with products such as construction loans, commercial mortgages, bridge financing and unsecured financing. Property types supported include apartment, office, retail, industrial and single-family residential on the West Coast and in select metropolitan areas across the country. Real Estate Industries also makes tax credit investments in affordable housing projects through its Community Development Finance unit. Through partnerships with other areas of the bank, Real Estate Industries clients also have access to non-credit products and services including global treasury management, capital markets solutions, foreign exchange and interest rate risk and commodity risk management products and services.

Wealth Markets serves corporate, institutional, non-profit and individual clients. Capabilities include Wealth Planning / Trust & Estate Services; Investment Management through HighMark Capital Management, Inc., an SEC-registered investment advisory firm wholly-owned by the bank; Brokerage through UnionBanc Investment Services, LLC, an SEC-registered broker-dealer/investment advisory firm wholly-owned by the bank; and Private Wealth Management.

PurePoint Financial serves consumers through a national deposit platform offering savings accounts and CD products to customers through an online platform with services provided through a call center and a network of financial centers in New York, Florida, Illinois and Texas.
U.S. Wholesale & Investment Banking
U.S. Wholesale & Investment Banking delivers the full suite of MUAH products and services to large and mid-corporate customers. The segment employs an industry-focused strategy including dedicated coverage teams in General Industries, Power and Utilities, Oil and Gas, Telecom and Media, Technology, Healthcare and Nonprofit, Public Finance, and Financial Institutions (predominantly Insurance and Asset Managers). U.S. Wholesale & Investment Banking provides customers general corporate credit and structured credit services, including project finance, leasing and equipment finance, commercial finance, funds finance and securitizations. By working with the Company's other segments, U.S. Wholesale & Investment Banking offers its customers a range of noncredit services, which include global treasury management, capital market solutions, and various foreign exchange, interest rate risk and commodity risk management products.

90


Note 13—Business Segments (Continued)

Transaction Banking
Transaction Banking works alongside the Company's other segments to provide working capital management and asset servicing solutions, including deposits and treasury management, trade finance, and institutional trust and custody, to the Company's customers. The client base consists of financial institutions, corporations, government agencies, insurance companies, mutual funds, investment managers and non-profit organizations.
MUFG Securities Americas
MUSA is MUAH's broker-dealer subsidiary which engages in capital markets origination transactions, private placements, collateralized financings, securities borrowing and lending transactions, and domestic and foreign debt and equity securities transactions.
Other
The Company generally applies a "market view" perspective in measuring the business segments. The market view is a measurement of customer markets aggregated to show all revenues generated and expenses incurred from all products and services sold to those customers regardless of where product areas organizationally report. Therefore, revenues and expenses are included in both the business segment that provides the service and the business segment that manages the customer relationship. The duplicative results from this internal management accounting view are eliminated in "Other." Certain of the transferred IHC entities are not measured using a "market view" perspective.
"Other" includes the MUFG Fund Services segment, Markets segment, Asian Corporate Banking segment and Corporate Treasury. MUFG Fund Services provides comprehensive investment fund administrative solutions. Markets provides risk management solutions, including foreign exchange, interest rate and energy risk management solutions. The Asian Corporate Banking segment offers a range of credit, deposit, and investment management products and services to companies located primarily in the U.S. that are affiliated with companies headquartered in Japan and other Asian countries. Corporate Treasury is responsible for ALM, wholesale funding and the ALM investment and derivatives hedging portfolios. These treasury management activities are carried out to manage the net interest rate and liquidity risks of the Company's balance sheet and to manage those risks within the guidelines established by ALCO. For additional discussion regarding these risk management activities, see Part I, Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this Form 10-Q.
Additionally, "Other" is comprised of certain corporate activities of the Company; the net impact of funds transfer pricing charges and credits allocated to the reportable segments; the residual costs of support groups; fees from affiliates and noninterest expenses associated with BTMU's U.S. branch banking operations; the unallocated allowance; goodwill, intangible assets, and the related amortization/accretion associated with the Company's privatization transaction; the elimination of the fully taxable-equivalent basis amount; the difference between the marginal tax rate and the consolidated effective tax rate; and FDIC covered assets.
The information, set forth in the tables that follow, is prepared using various management accounting methodologies to measure the performance of the individual segments. Unlike GAAP, there is no standardized or authoritative guidance for management accounting. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable with those presented by other companies and they are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be reported by the business units if they were unique economic entities. The management reporting accounting methodologies, which are enhanced from time to time, measure segment profitability by assigning balance sheet and statements of income items to each operating segment. Methodologies that are applied to the measurement of segment profitability include a funds transfer pricing system, an activity-based costing methodology, other indirect costs and a methodology to allocate the provision for credit losses. The funds transfer pricing system assigns a cost of funds or a credit for funds to assets or liabilities based on their type, maturity or repricing characteristics between Corporate Treasury and the operating segments. A segment receives a funding credit from Corporate Treasury for its liabilities. Conversely, a segment is assigned a charge by Corporate Treasury to fund its assets. Certain indirect costs, such as operations and technology expense, are allocated to the segments based on an activity-based costing methodology. Other indirect costs, such as corporate overhead, are allocated to the segments based on internal surveys and metrics that serve as proxies for estimated

usage. During the normal course of business, the Company occasionally changes or updates its management accounting methodologies or organizational structure. Certain of the transferred IHC entities are not measured using management accounting methodologies.

Note 14—Related Party Transactions
MUAH is a financial holding company, bank holding company and intermediate holding company whose principal subsidiaries are MUFG Union Bank, N.A. and MUFG Securities Americas Inc. (formerly Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc.). It is owned by BTMU and MUFG. BTMU is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MUFG.

On July 1, 2016, MUFG designated MUAH as its IHC in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s final rules for Enhanced Prudential Standards and transferred interests in substantially all its U.S. subsidiaries to the IHC. On July 1, 2017, MUFG transferred interests in its remaining U.S. subsidiaries to MUAH. The transferred subsidiaries had assets of $1.0 billion, including goodwill and intangibles of $196 million, and liabilities of $601 million, all of which were transferred at carrying value. In consideration for the transferred assets and liabilities, MUAH issued 3,267,433 shares to BTMU and MUFG.

The Company provides various business, banking, financial, administrative and support services, and facilities for BTMU in connection with the operation and administration of BTMU's business in the U.S. (including BTMU's U.S. branches). The Bank and BTMU participate in a master services agreement whereby the Bank earns fee income in exchange for services and facilities provided.

In addition to the above, the Company conducts transactions with affiliates which include BTMU, MUFG and other entities which are directly or indirectly owned by MUFG. The transactions include capital market transactions, facilitating securities transactions, secured financing transactions, advisory services, clearing and operational support. Under services level agreements the Company provides services to and receives services from various affiliates. The Company also has referral agreements with its affiliates and pays referral fees from investment banking revenue earned.
Related party transactions reflect market-based pricing. These transactions are subject to federal and state statutory and regulatory restrictions and limitations.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. We maintain liabilities for losses from legal actions that are recorded when they are determined to be both probable in their occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. We believe the disposition of all claims currently pending, including potential losses from claims that may exceed the liabilities recorded, and claims for loss contingencies that are considered reasonably possible to occur, will not have a material effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
For a discussion of risk factors relating to our business, please refer to Part I, Item 1A. of our 2016 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein; in addition to the following information.
Industry Factors
The effects of changes or increases in, or supervisory enforcement of, banking, securities, or other laws and regulations or governmental fiscal or monetary policies could adversely affect us

We are subject to significant federal and state banking and securities regulation and supervision, which is primarily for the benefit and protection of our depositors and other customers and the Federal Deposit Insurance Fund and not for the benefit of investors in our securities. In the past, our business has been materially affected by these regulations. This can be expected to continue in the future. Laws, regulations or policies, including accounting standards and interpretations, currently affecting us and our subsidiaries may change at any time. Regulatory authorities may also change their interpretation of and intensify their examination of compliance with these statutes and regulations. Therefore, our business may be adversely affected by changes in laws, regulations, policies or interpretations or regulatory approaches to compliance and enforcement, as well as by supervisory action or criminal proceedings taken as a result of noncompliance, which could result in the imposition of significant penalties or fines. Changes in laws and regulations may also increase our expenses by imposing additional supervision, fees, taxes or restrictions on our operations. Compliance with laws and regulations, especially new laws and regulations, increases our operating expenses and may divert management attention from our business operations.
In July 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act was adopted in response to the financial crisis that ensued in 2008. The Act, among other things, created a new CFPB with broad powers to regulate consumer financial products such as credit cards and mortgages, created a Financial Stability Oversight Council comprised of the heads of other regulatory agencies, has led to new capital requirements from U.S. federal banking agencies, placed new limits on electronic debit card interchange fees, and required the SEC and national stock exchanges to adopt significant new corporate governance and executive compensation reforms.
This important legislation has affected U.S. financial institutions, including MUAH and MUB, in many ways, some of which have increased, or may increase in the future, the cost of doing business and present other challenges to the financial services industry. For additional information regarding the impact on our business of the Dodd-Frank Act and related regulations, see "Supervision and Regulation - Principal Federal Banking Laws - Dodd-Frank Act and Related Regulations" in Part I, Item 1. of our 2016 Form 10-K. Due to our size of over $50 billion in assets, we are regarded as systemically significant to the financial health of the U.S. economy and, as a result, are subject to additional regulations as discussed further in "Supervision and Regulation" in Part I, Item 1. of our 2016 Form 10-K.
Following the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve 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. For additional information, see Supervision and Regulation - Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Standards in Part I, Item I. in our 2016 Form 10-K and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory Capital in Part II, Item 7. in our 2016 Form 10-K.
The need to maintain more and higher quality capital under the banking agencies capital rules, as well as greater liquidity, could limit the Company’s business activities, including lending, and its ability to expand,

96


either organically or through acquisitions. It could also result in the Company taking steps to increase its capital or being limited in its ability to pay dividends or otherwise return capital to its shareholder, or selling or refraining from acquiring assets. In addition, the regulatory liquidity standards could require the Company to increase its holdings of highly liquid short-term investments, thereby reducing the Company’s ability to invest in longer-term or less liquid assets even if more desirable from a balance sheet management perspective.
The capital rules of the U.S. federal banking agencies as well as the various other regulations referred to above, along with other regulations which may be adopted in the future, may also generally increase our cost of doing business or lead us to stop, reduce or modify our offerings of various products.
Proposals to reform the housing finance market in the U.S. could also significantly affect our business. These proposals, among other things, consider reducing or eliminating over time the role of the GSEs (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) in guaranteeing mortgages and providing funding for mortgage loans, as well as the implementation of reforms relating to borrowers, lenders, and investors in the mortgage market, including reducing the maximum size of a loan that the GSEs can guarantee, phasing in a minimum down payment requirement for borrowers, improving underwriting standards, and increasing accountability and transparency in the securitization process. While the specific nature of these reforms and their impact on the financial services industry in general, and on MUB in particular, is uncertain at this time, such reforms, if enacted, are likely to have a substantial impact on the mortgage market and could potentially reduce our income from mortgage originations by increasing mortgage costs or lowering originations. The GSE reforms could also reduce real estate prices, which could reduce the value of collateral securing outstanding mortgage loans. This reduction of collateral value could negatively impact the value or perceived collectability of these mortgage loans and may increase our allowance for loan losses. Such reforms may also include changes to the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which could adversely affect a significant source of funding for lending activities by the banking industry, including the Bank. These reforms may also result in higher interest rates on residential mortgage loans, thereby reducing demand, which could have an adverse impact on our residential mortgage lending business. In addition, any impact of such changes upon the credit quality of GSE’s and therefore, upon agency MBS securities held by MUAH could result in material reductions in valuations, as well as impacts upon the agency MBS trading business of MUSA.
Several cities in the United States (including New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose and Seattle) have adopted responsible banking ordinances and other cities are considering the adoption of similar ordinances. These ordinances generally require banks that hold city government deposits to provide detailed accounts of their lending practices in low-income communities, as well as their participation in foreclosure prevention and home loan principal reduction programs. Performance under these ordinances is used as a basis for awarding the city’s financial services contracts. The adoption of these ordinances by municipalities for which the Bank is a provider of cash management or other banking services could result in increased regulatory and compliance costs and other operational costs and expenses, making this business less desirable to the Bank and potentially resulting in reduced opportunities for the Bank to provide these services. In August of 2015, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an order which invalidated the New York City ordinance on the ground that it was pre-empted by federal and state banking laws. Whether and to what extent other so-called responsible banking ordinances will be challenged and invalidated cannot be predicted at this time.
International laws, regulations and policies affecting us, our subsidiaries and the business we conduct may change at any time and affect our business opportunities and competitiveness in these jurisdictions. Due to our ownership by MUFG and BTMU, laws, regulations, policies, fines and other supervisory actions adopted or enforced by the Government of Japan, the Federal Reserve and other regulators may adversely affect our activities and investments and those of our subsidiaries in the future.
We maintain systems and procedures designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations. However, some legal/regulatory frameworks provide for the imposition of criminal or civil penalties (which can be substantial) for noncompliance. In some cases, liability may attach even if the noncompliance was inadvertent or unintentional and even if compliance systems and procedures were in place at the time. There may be other negative consequences from a finding of noncompliance, including restrictions on certain activities and damage to our reputation.
Additionally, our business is affected significantly by the fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S. federal government and its agencies. We are particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve, which regulates the supply of money and credit in the U.S. Under the Dodd-Frank Act and a long-standing policy of the Federal

97


Reserve, a BHC is expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength for its subsidiary banks. As a result of that policy, we may be required to commit financial and other resources to our subsidiary bank in circumstances where we might not otherwise do so. Among the instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve are (a) conducting open market operations in U.S. Government securities, (b) changing the discount rates on borrowings by depository institutions and the federal funds rate, and (c) imposing or changing reserve requirements against certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates. These methods are used in varying degrees and combinations to directly affect the availability of bank loans and deposits, as well as the interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. In September 2017, the Federal Reserve announced that, starting in October 2017, it would begin the process of reducing its $4.5 trillion balance sheet by ceasing the reinvestment of principal on the maturing bonds that it holds. The impact of the Federal Reserve’s unwinding of quantitative easing on the U.S. economy and financial markets cannot be predicted with certainty at this time; however, this change in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy could result in increased interest rates, changes in customer deposit behavior, and volatility in the financial markets. The policies of the Federal Reserve can be expected to have a material effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Refer to "Supervision and Regulation" in Part I, Item 1. in our 2016 Form 10-K for discussion of certain additional existing and proposed laws and regulations that may affect our business.
The increasing regulation of the financial services industry has required and can be expected to continue to require significant investments in technology, personnel or other resources. Our competitors may be subject to different or reduced degrees of regulation due to their asset size or types of products offered and may also be able to more efficiently utilize resources to comply with regulations and to more efficiently absorb increased regulatory compliance costs into their existing cost structure.
Neither the presidential administration of the U.S. President, nor the Congress has promulgated detailed proposals with respect to the oversight and regulation of the financial services industry. There could be significant changes in existing laws and regulations relevant to the industry or the introduction of new laws and regulations. In addition, substantial reform of the federal taxation system in the U.S., including a reduction in corporate and personal tax rates, has been mentioned by representatives of the new Administration as an important objective. While such reform could have positive effects on corporate profitability which could benefit the Company and its customers, there could be other potential adverse consequences such as a decrease in the value of tax credits on certain investments we may make. There could also be possible adverse consequences for the economy and the business climate, such as a large increase in federal deficits and increasing interest rates generally, including for the federal government’s borrowing costs. The potential long-run impact of these possible developments remains uncertain.
Company Factors
Adverse California economic conditions could adversely affect our business
At times in past years, economic conditions in California have been subject to various challenges, including significant deterioration in the residential real estate sector and the California state government’s budgetary and fiscal difficulties. While California home prices and the California economy in general, have experienced a recovery in recent years, there can be no assurance that the recovery will continue. Recent growth in home prices in some California markets may be unsustainable relative to market fundamentals, and home price declines may occur.
In addition, until 2013, the State of California had experienced budget shortfalls or deficits that led to protracted negotiations between the Governor and the State Legislature over how to address the budget gap. The California electorate approved, in the November 2012 general elections, certain increases in the rate of income taxation in California. However, there can be no assurance that the state’s fiscal and budgetary challenges will not recur. Also, municipalities and other governmental units within California have been experiencing budgetary difficulties, and several California municipalities have filed for protection under the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, concerns also have arisen regarding the outlook for the governmental obligations of California municipalities and other governmental units.
A substantial majority of our assets, deposits and interest and fee income is generated in California. As a result, poor economic conditions in California may cause us to incur losses associated with higher default rates and decreased collateral values in our loan portfolio. If the budgetary and fiscal difficulties of the California state government and California municipalities and other governmental units were to recur or economic conditions in

98


California decline, we expect that our level of problem assets could increase and our prospects for growth could be impaired. For approximately the past five years, California experienced severe drought conditions. While rainfall levels have improved since 2015, there can be no assurance that the drought will not return with consequent difficulties for the California economy, particularly in the agricultural sector. The long-run impact of this and other measures in response to the drought on the California economy cannot be predicted.
In addition, in October 2017, wildfires occurred in a number of California counties where the Bank has branches and does business. The fires resulted in numerous fatalities and injuries and substantial property damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure in several communities. The Bank’s management is actively assessing the potential adverse consequences for its business from these events. California and other Western states where the Bank does business have been the subject of other major wildfires or natural disasters and it can be expected that these events will continue to occur from time to time in the areas served by the Bank.
