Notes A Enactment of the Tax Act reduced 4Q17 and 2017 net income by $2.9B, or $0.27 per diluted common share, which included a $0.9B pretax charge in other noninterest income (which reduced pretax income and revenue, net of interest expense) predominantly related to the revaluation of certain tax-advantaged energy investments, as well as $1.9B of tax expense principally associated with the revaluation of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities. The enactment negatively impacted 4Q17 and 2017 return on average assets by 49 bps and 13 bps, respectively; return on average common shareholders’ equity by 455 bps and 117 bps, respectively; return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity by 630 bps and 162 bps, respectively; and efficiency ratio by 287 bps and 67 bps, respectively. Reported metrics are shown on slide 2 and slide 8. B Global Liquidity Sources (GLS) include 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 are readily available to meet funding requirements as they arise.

Important Presentation Information • The information contained herein is preliminary and based on Company data available at the time of the earnings presentation. It speaks only as of the particular date or dates included in the accompanying slides. Bank of America does not undertake an obligation to, and disclaims any duty to, update any of the information provided. • The Company may present certain key performance indicators and ratios, including year-over-year comparisons of revenue, noninterest expense and pretax income, excluding certain items (e.g., DVA) which result in non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in understanding its results of operations and trends. For more information about the non-GAAP financial measures contained herein, please see the presentation of the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and accompanying reconciliations in the earnings press release for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 and other earnings-related information available through the Bank of America Investor Relations website at: http://investor.bankofamerica.com. • The Company views net interest income and related ratios and analyses on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis, which when presented on a consolidated basis are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes managing the business with net interest income on an FTE basis provides investors with a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. The Company believes that the presentation allows for comparison of amounts from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practices. The FTE adjustment was $155MM, $151MM, $154MM, $150MM and $251MM for 4Q18, 3Q18, 2Q18, 1Q18 and 4Q17 respectively. • The Company allocates capital to its business segments using a methodology that considers the effect of regulatory capital requirements in addition to internal risk-based capital models. The Company's internal risk-based capital models use a risk-adjusted methodology incorporating each segment's credit, market, interest rate, business and operational risk components. Allocated capital is reviewed periodically and refinements are made based on multiple considerations that include, but are not limited to, risk-weighted assets measured under Basel 3 Standardized and Advanced approaches, business segment exposures and risk profile, and strategic plans. As a result of this process, in the first quarter of 2018, the Company adjusted the amount of capital being allocated to its business segments. 31
