Our teammates worked for our customers and delivered solid loan and deposit growth, and other activity, while managing risk well. Operating leverage based on disciplined expense management while investing in our future, solid asset quality, and loan and deposit growth drove this quarter’s results. In addition to lending and investing activities, we shared success in many ways: returning nearly $26 billion in capital to our shareholders; a second bonus since U.S. tax reform passed last year, impacting 95% of our teammates, to share success from our performance and the benefits of tax reduction; and more than $200 million of philanthropic giving to our communities. “Through the trillions of dollars of consumer transactions we process and from the steady confidence and activity of our small business and commercial clients, we see a healthy consumer and business climate driving a solid economy. Each of our businesses faces opportunities to grow even more. We are well positioned to serve clients, teammates, and communities by listening to their answer when we ask them: ‘What would you like the power to do?’” — Brian Moynihan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer CFO Commentary “We have now seen 16 consecutive quarters of positive operating leverage, enabled by responsible growth. Our net income grew robustly and our EPS grew faster as we invested part of our profits in share repurchases. We significantly improved our returns in the fourth quarter, with a 1.24% return on average assets and a 16.3% return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity. Each line of business contributed to these results. With a strong balance sheet, we’re ready to deliver again in 2019.” — Paul Donofrio, Chief Financial Officer 1 On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was enacted, which included a lower U.S. corporate tax rate effective in 2018.

Endnotes A We also measure 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. We believe 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 $12.5 billion, $12.0 billion and $11.7 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The FTE adjustment was $155 million, $151 million and $251 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. B 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 gains (losses) were $52 million, $(99) million and $(118) million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. FICC net DVA gains (losses) were $45 million, $(80) million and $(112) million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Equities net DVA gains (losses) were $7 million, $(19) million and $(6) million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. C Enactment of the Tax Act reduced Q4-17 and FY 2017 net income by $2.9 billion, or $0.27 per diluted common share, which included a $0.9 billion 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 $1.9 billion of tax expense principally associated with the revaluation of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities. The enactment negatively impacted Q4-17 and FY 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 pages 1 and 2 of this press release. D Return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. See page 19 of this press release for reconciliation to GAAP financial measures. E 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. They do 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. F Regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2018 are preliminary. We report regulatory capital ratios under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The approach that yields the lower ratio is used to assess capital adequacy, which for CET1 is the Standardized approach at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 and the Advanced approaches at December 31, 2017. Basel 3 transition provisions for regulatory capital adjustments and deductions were fully phased-in as of January 1, 2018. Prior periods are presented on a fully phased-in basis. SLR requirements became effective January 1, 2018. 11

15 Bank of America Corporation and Subsidiaries Selected Financial Data (continued) (Dollars in millions) Basel 3 Capital Management December 31 September 30 December 31 2018 2018 2017 Regulatory capital metrics (5): Common equity tier 1 capital $ 167,272 $ 164,386 $ 168,461 Common equity tier 1 capital ratio - Standardized approach 11.6% 11.4% 11.7% Common equity tier 1 capital ratio - Advanced approaches 11.9 11.5 11.5 Tier 1 leverage ratio 8.4 8.3 8.6 Tangible equity ratio (6) 8.6 8.5 8.9 Tangible common equity ratio (6) 7.6 7.5 7.9 (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 page 19. (2) Includes non-U.S. credit card net charge-offs of $75 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. 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; and nonperforming loans held-for-sale or accounted for under the fair value option. (5) Regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2018 are preliminary. Bank of America Corporation (the Corporation) 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 for CET1 is the Standardized approach at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 and the Advanced approaches at December 31, 2017. Basel 3 transition provisions for regulatory capital adjustments and deductions were fully phased-in as of January 1, 2018. Prior periods are presented on a fully phased-in basis. (6) 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 page 19. Current period information is preliminary and based on company data available at the time of the presentation.

19 Bank of America Corporation and Subsidiaries Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures (Dollars in millions) The Corporation 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 for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to financial measures defined by GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the three months ended December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. 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.

Appendix


 
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. 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. C Revenue for all periods included net debit valuation adjustments (DVA) on derivatives, as well as amortization of own credit portion of purchase discount and realized DVA on structured liabilities. Net DVA gains (losses) were $52MM, ($99MM) and ($118MM) for 4Q18, 3Q18 and 4Q17, respectively, and ($162MM), ($428MM) and ($238MM) for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net DVA gains (losses) included in FICC revenue were $45MM, ($80MM) and ($112MM) for 4Q18, 3Q18 and 4Q17, respectively, and ($142MM), ($394MM) and ($238MM) for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net DVA gains (losses) included in Equities revenue were $7MM, ($19MM) and ($6MM) for 4Q18, 3Q18 and 4Q17, respectively, and ($20MM), ($34MM) and $0MM for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. D VaR model uses historical simulation approach based on three years of historical data and an expected shortfall methodology equivalent to a 99% confidence level. Using a 95% confidence level, average VaR was $22MM, $17MM and $17MM for 4Q18, 3Q18 and 4Q17, respectively. 28

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

Tangible equity ratios 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 Exhibit A: Non-GAAP Reconciliations - Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures on page 39 .)

Regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2018 are preliminary. We report regulatory capital ratios under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The approach that yields the lower ratio is used to assess capital adequacy. Basel 3 transition provisions for regulatory capital adjustments and deductions were fully phased-in as of January 1, 2018. Prior periods are presented on a fully phased-in basis. SLR requirements became effective January 1, 2018.
(2)  
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 Exhibit A: Non-GAAP Reconciliations - Reconciliation to GAAP Financial Measures on page 39 .)

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.
(2)  
For presentation purposes, in segments or businesses where the total of liabilities and equity exceeds assets, the Corporation allocates assets from All Other to match the segments’ and businesses’ liabilities and allocated shareholders’ equity. As a result, total earning assets and total assets of the businesses may not equal total Consumer Banking .


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


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

Includes Global Banking sales and trading revenue of $430 million and $236 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , and $123 million , $66 million , $75 million , $166 million and $61 million for the fourth , third , second and first quarters of 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2017 , respectively.
(2)  
For this presentation, sales and trading revenue excludes net debit valuation adjustment (DVA) gains (losses) which include net DVA on derivatives, as well as amortization of own credit portion of purchase discount and realized DVA on structured liabilities. Sales and trading revenue excluding net DVA gains (losses) represents a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides additional useful information to assess the underlying performance of these businesses and to allow better comparison of period-to-period operating performance.


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


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

For amounts excluded from nonperforming loans, leases and foreclosed properties, see footnotes to Nonperforming Loans, Leases and Foreclosed Properties table on page 34 .
(2)  
Consumer loans and leases may be returned to performing status when all principal and interest is current and full repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest is expected, or when the loan otherwise becomes well-secured and is in the process of collection. Certain troubled debt restructurings are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.
(3)  
Our policy is not to classify consumer credit card and non-bankruptcy related consumer loans not secured by real estate as nonperforming; therefore, the charge-offs on these loans have no impact on nonperforming activity and, accordingly, are excluded from this table.
(4)  
Includes U.S. small business commercial activity. Small business card loans are excluded as they are not classified as nonperforming.
(5)  
Commercial loans and leases may be returned to performing status when all principal and interest is current and full repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest is expected, or when the loan otherwise becomes well-secured and is in the process of collection. Troubled debt restructurings are generally classified as performing after a sustained period of demonstrated payment performance.

Exhibit A: Non-GAAP Reconciliations
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Bank of America Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
 
 
 
 
Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures
 
 
 
 
 
(Dollars in millions)
 
 
 
 
 

The Corporation 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 for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to financial measures defined by GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the three months ended December 31, 2018 , September 30, 2018 , June 30, 2018 March 31, 2018 and  December 31, 2017 . 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.
