"Our focus on responsible growth and improving the way we serve customers
and clients produced another quarter of strong results. Revenue across our
four lines of business grew 4 percent, even with a challenging comparable
quarter for trading. We delivered positive operating leverage year over year for

"Client activity remained strong across the franchise. Year over year, we grew average deposits by $45 billion, or 4 percent, and
increased average loan balances in our business segments by $46 billion, or 6 percent. It's worth noting that we grew loans while
remaining within our customer and risk frameworks, as evidenced by our low loss rates. Our balance sheet remained strong, which
enabled us to repurchase nearly $3 billion in common stock and pay $1.3 billion in common stock dividends in the quarter."

Note: All Other consists of asset liability management (ALM) activities, equity investments,
non-core mortgage loans and servicing activities, the net impact of periodic revisions to the
mortgage servicing rights (MSR) valuation model for both core and non-core MSRs and the
related economic hedge results and ineffectiveness, liquidating businesses, residual expense
allocations and other. ALM activities encompass certain residential mortgages, debt securities,
interest rate and foreign currency risk management activities, the impact of certain allocation
methodologies and accounting hedge ineffectiveness. The results of certain ALM activities are
allocated to our business segments. Equity investments include our merchant services joint
venture, as well as Global Principal Investments, which is comprised of a portfolio of equity, real
estate and other alternative investments. During the second quarter of 2017, the Corporation
completed the sale of its non-U.S. consumer credit card business to a third party. Annual
retirement-eligible incentive costs are recorded in the first quarter of every year and allocated
to the business segments throughout the year.
• Net income of $217 million, compared to a net loss
of $181 million
• Revenue declined $613 million, reflecting lower
mortgage banking income and the absence of the
non-U.S. consumer credit card business
– Mortgage banking income was negatively
impacted by less favorable valuations on
mortgage servicing rights, net of related hedges,
as well as a $0.1 billion increase in
representations and warranties provision
• The provision for credit losses improved $199 million
to a benefit of $191 million, driven primarily by loan
sale recoveries, continued runoff of the non-core
portfolio and the absence of the non-U.S. consumer
credit card business
• Noninterest expense decreased $565 million, due to
lower operational costs, driven by the sale of the
non-U.S. consumer card business, and lower
litigation expense
• The income tax benefit increased $247 million to
$709 million, as the year-ago quarter included a

quarter of 2017, the Corporation completed the sale of its non-U.S. consumer credit card
business to a third party.
3 Net charge-off ratio is calculated as annualized net charge-offs divided by average
outstanding loans and leases during the period.
4 Nonperforming loans, leases and foreclosed properties ratio is calculated as nonperforming
loans, leases and foreclosed properties divided by outstanding loans, leases and foreclosed
properties at the end of the period.
5 The allowance for loan and lease losses ratio is calculated as allowance for loan and lease
losses divided by loans and leases outstanding at the end of the period. Excluding non-U.S.
consumer credit card allowance of $258 million in Q3-16, the allowance for loan and lease
losses was $11.4 billion and the allowance as a percentage of ending loans was 1.29%.
Note: Ratios do not include loans accounted for under the fair value option.
• Overall credit quality remained strong
Q3-17 vs. Q3-16
• Net charge-offs increased $12 million to $900
million, driven primarily by higher commercial losses,
partially offset by lower losses in consumer
– The net charge-off ratio decreased to 0.39%
from 0.40%
• The provision for credit losses improved $16 million
to $834 million, driven primarily by lower losses in
consumer real estate and reductions in energy
exposures, partially offset by the impact of credit
card seasoning and loan growth
• Nonperforming assets declined $1.9 billion to $6.9
billion, driven by credit quality improvement and loan
sales
Q3-17 vs. Q2-17
• Net charge-offs declined $8 million, driven by lower
consumer losses
– The net charge-off ratio decreased to 0.39%
from 0.40%
• The provision for credit losses increased $108 million
due to seasoning in the U.S. credit card portfolio and
loan growth
Reserve Release
• The net reserve release was $66 million, compared to
$182 million in the prior quarter and $38 million in
the year-ago quarter. The Q3-17 net reserve release
was driven by continued improvements in consumer
real estate and energy exposures, partially offset by
seasoning in the U.S. credit card portfolio and loan
growth

2 Bank of America reports regulatory capital ratios under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The approach that yields the lower ratio is used to assess
capital adequacy, which is the Advanced approaches for the periods presented. Basel 3 fully phased-in Advanced approaches estimates assume approval by U.S.
banking regulators of our internal models methodology (IMM) for calculating counterparty credit risk regulatory capital for derivatives. As of September 30, 2017, we
did not have regulatory approval of the IMM model. Basel 3 fully phased-in common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio would be reduced by approximately 25 bps if
IMM is not used.

4 Berkshire Hathaway exercised its warrants to purchase 700 million shares of BAC common stock in Q3-17 using its Series T preferred shares, which resulted in an
increase to common shares outstanding.
5 Regulatory capital and liquidity ratios as of September 30, 2017 are preliminary. CET1 capital, risk-weighted assets (RWA) and CET1 ratio as shown on a fully phased-

The Corporation also measures net interest income on an FTE basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. FTE basis is a performance measure used in
operating the business that management believes provides investors a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. The Corporation
believes that this presentation allows for comparison of amounts from both taxable and tax-exempt sources, and is consistent with industry practices. Net
interest income on an FTE basis was $11.4 billion and $10.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. For reconciliation to GAAP
financial measures, refer to pages 17–18 of this press release.
Global Liquidity Sources (GLS) includes cash and high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities, limited to U.S. government securities, U.S. agency securities, U.S.
agency MBS, and a select group of non-U.S. government and supranational securities, and is readily available to meet funding requirements as they arise. It does
not include Federal Reserve Discount Window or Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing capacity. Transfers of liquidity among legal entities may be subject to
certain regulatory and other restrictions. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) represents the consolidated average amount of high-quality liquid assets as a
percent of the prescribed average net cash outflows over a 30-calendar-day period of significant liquidity stress, under the U.S. LCR final rule. Time to required
funding (TTF) is a debt coverage measure and is expressed as the number of months unsecured holding company obligations of Bank of America Corporation can
be met using only the Global Liquidity Sources held at the BAC parent company and NB Holdings without the BAC parent company issuing debt or sourcing
additional liquidity. We define unsecured contractual obligations for purposes of this metric as maturities of senior or subordinated debt issued or guaranteed by
Bank of America Corporation.
Fully phased-in estimates are non-GAAP financial measures. For reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, refer to page 13 of this press release. Basel 3 fully
phased-in Advanced approaches estimates assume approval by U.S. banking regulators of our internal models methodology (IMM) for calculating counterparty
credit risk regulatory capital for derivatives. As of September 30, 2017, we did not have regulatory approval of the IMM model. Basel 3 fully phased-in Common
equity tier 1 capital ratio would be reduced by approximately 25 bps if IMM is not used.
Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity and tangible book value per share of common stock are non-GAAP financial measures. For reconciliation
to GAAP financial measures, refer to pages 17–18 of this press release.
Rankings per Dealogic as of October 2, 2017 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, excluding self-led deals.
The numerator of the SLR is quarter-end Basel 3 Tier 1 capital calculated on a fully phased-in basis. The denominator is total leverage exposure based on the
daily average of the sum of on-balance sheet exposures less permitted Tier 1 deductions, as well as the simple average of certain off-balance sheet exposures,
as of the end of each month in a quarter. Off-balance sheet exposures primarily include undrawn lending commitments, letters of credit, potential future
derivative exposures and repo-style transactions.
Global Markets revenue and net income, excluding net debit valuation adjustments (DVA), and sales and trading revenue, excluding net DVA, are non-GAAP
financial measures. Net DVA losses were $21 million, $159 million and $127 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and
September 30, 2016, respectively. Net DVA losses were $310 million and $137 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
FICC net DVA losses were $14 million, $148 million and $121 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016,
respectively. FICC net DVA losses were $282 million and $140 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Equities net DVA
losses were $7 million, $11 million and $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Equities
net DVA gains (losses) were $(28) million and $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Pretax, pre-provision net revenue (PPNR) is a non-GAAP financial measure. PPNR is total revenue, net of interest expense (on an FTE basis), less noninterest
expense. Consumer Banking total revenue, net of interest expense (on an FTE basis) was $8.8 billion and $8.0 billion for the three months ended September
30, 2017 and 2016. Noninterest expense was $4.5 billion and $4.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

(1) Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity and tangible book value per share of common stock are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe the use of ratios that utilize tangible
equity provides additional useful information because they present measures of those assets that can generate income. Tangible book value per share provides additional useful information
about the level of tangible assets in relation to outstanding shares of common stock. See Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures on pages 17-18.
(2) Includes non-U.S. credit card net charge-offs of $75 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, including $0, $31 million and $44 million for the three months ended September
30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively. These net charge-offs represent net charge-offs of non-U.S. credit card loans, which were sold in the second quarter of 2017.
(3) Ratios do not include loans accounted for under the fair value option. Charge-off ratios are annualized for the quarterly presentation.
(4) Balances do not include past due consumer credit card loans, consumer loans secured by real estate where repayments are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and individually
insured long-term stand-by agreements (fully-insured home loans), and in general, other consumer and commercial loans not secured by real estate; purchased credit-impaired loans even
though the customer may be contractually past due; nonperforming loans held-for-sale or accounted for under the fair value option.
(5) Common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital, risk-weighted assets (RWA) and CET1 ratio as shown on a fully phased-in basis are non-GAAP financial measures.
(6) As an Advanced approaches institution, we are required to report regulatory capital risk-weighted assets and ratios under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The approach that
yields the lower ratio is to be used to assess capital adequacy, which is the Advanced approaches for the periods presented.
(7) Tangible equity ratio equals period-end tangible shareholders' equity divided by period-end tangible assets. Tangible common equity ratio equals period-end tangible common shareholders'
equity divided by period-end tangible assets. Tangible shareholders' equity and tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe the use of ratios that utilize tangible equity provides
additional useful information because they present measures of those assets that can generate income. See Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures on pages 17-18.
(8) Fully phased-in estimates are non-GAAP financial measures. For reconciliations to GAAP financial measures, see pages 17-18.
(9) Basel 3 fully phased-in Advanced approaches estimates assume approval by U.S. banking regulators of our internal models methodology (IMM) for calculating counterparty credit risk regulatory
capital for derivatives. As of September 30, 2017, we did not have regulatory approval of the IMM model. Basel 3 fully phased-in Common equity tier 1 capital ratio would be reduced by
approximately 25 bps if IMM is not used.

(1) Fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis is a performance measure used by management in operating the business that management believes provides investors with a more accurate picture of
the interest margin for comparative purposes. The Corporation believes that this presentation allows for comparison of amounts from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent
with industry practices.
(2) Return on average allocated capital is calculated as net income, adjusted for cost of funds and earnings credits and certain expenses related to intangibles, divided by average allocated capital.
Other companies may define or calculate these measures differently.

(1) Fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis is a performance measure used by management in operating the business that management believes provides investors with a more accurate picture of
the interest margin for comparative purposes. The Corporation believes that this presentation allows for comparison of amounts from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent
with industry practices.
(2) Return on average allocated capital is calculated as net income, adjusted for cost of funds and earnings credits and certain expenses related to intangibles, divided by average allocated capital.
Other companies may define or calculate these measures differently.

The Corporation evaluates its business based on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP financial measure. Total revenue, net of interest expense, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis includes
net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis and noninterest income. The Corporation believes that this presentation allows for comparison of amounts from both taxable and tax-
exempt sources and is consistent with industry practices. The Corporation presents related ratios and analyses (i.e., efficiency ratios and net interest yield) on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. To
derive the fully taxable-equivalent basis, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt income on an equivalent before-tax basis with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. For
purposes of this calculation, the Corporation uses the federal statutory tax rate of 35 percent. The efficiency ratio measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, and net interest
yield measures the basis points the Corporation earns over the cost of funds.
The Corporation also evaluates its business based on the following ratios that utilize tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible equity represents an adjusted shareholders' equity
or common shareholders' equity amount which has been reduced by goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities. Return on average
tangible common shareholders' equity measures the Corporation's earnings contribution as a percentage of adjusted average common shareholders' equity. The tangible common equity ratio
represents adjusted ending common shareholders' equity divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities.
Return on average tangible shareholders' equity measures the Corporation's earnings contribution as a percentage of adjusted average total shareholders' equity. The tangible equity ratio represents
adjusted ending shareholders' equity divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities. Tangible book value
per common share represents adjusted ending common shareholders' equity divided by ending common shares outstanding. These measures are used to evaluate the Corporation's use of equity.
In addition, profitability, relationship and investment models all use return on average tangible shareholders' equity as key measures to support our overall growth goals.
See the tables below and on page 18 for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to financial measures defined by GAAP for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016
and the three months ended September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. The Corporation believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in
understanding its results of operations and trends. Other companies may define or calculate supplemental financial data differently.
