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 $350 million charge related to the reduction of the U.K. corporate income tax rate

During the second 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

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. 3 Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. For reconciliation, see pages 17-18 of this press release. 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- in basis are non-GAAP financial measures.

9 Endnotes A B C D E F G H 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.

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. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Current period information is preliminary and based on company data available at the time of the presentation. 17 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.
