Economic growth and consumer activity in the U.S. continue to be solid, businesses of every size are borrowing and driving the economy, and asset quality is strong. It was a challenging capital markets environment but our team and platform are optimized to serve clients and generate stable revenues across a range of market conditions over time. We reduced expenses by four percent from the first quarter of 2018, contributing to the seventeenth consecutive quarter of positive operating leverage. We are well positioned for continued solid results the right way. And we are building on that. We’ll add 350 financial centers in new and existing markets by 2021. Our network will provide coverage for more than 90 percent of the U.S. population. We continue to share success: We will raise the minimum starting pay in our company to $20 over the next twenty-four months; we’ll help 20,000 low-to-moderate income clients become homeowners; and we extended our Environmental Business Initiative to $300 billion over 10 years to help create a low-carbon sustainable future. We serve by asking the simple question to customers, employees, and communities: ‘What would you like the power to do?’. We listen to them and serve them with a team that is second to none.” — Brian Moynihan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Financial Highlights3 Three months ended ($ in billions, except per share data) 3/31/2019 12/31/2018 3/31/2018 Total revenue, net of interest expense $23.0 $22.7 $23.1 Net income $7.3 $7.3 $6.9 Diluted earnings per share $0.70 $0.70 $0.62 Return on average assets 1.26% 1.24% 1.21% Return on average common shareholders’ equity 11.42 11.57 10.85 Return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity4 16.01 16.29 15.26 Efficiency ratio 57 58 60 See page 10 for endnotes. 1 Financial Highlights and Business Segment Highlights compare to the year-ago quarter unless noted.

CFO Commentary: “The strength of our balance sheet allowed us to return our record earnings and additional excess capital to shareholders. We repurchased $6.3 billion in common stock and paid $1.5 billion in common dividends. Those repurchases contributed to a 13 percent increase in EPS compared with the first quarter of 2018 while book value per share increased eight percent. Our diluted share count now has been reduced by 1.5 billion shares in the past four years.” — Paul M.

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, $12.7 billion and $11.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. The FTE adjustment was $153 million, $155 million and $150 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, 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 $(90) million, $52 million and $64 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. FICC net DVA gains (losses) were $(79) million, $45 million and $77 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. Equities net DVA gains (losses) were $(11) million, $7 million and $(13) million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. C Return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. See page 17 of this press release for reconciliation to GAAP financial measures. D 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. E Regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2019 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the Advanced approaches at March 31, 2018. 10

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 17. (2) Ratios do not include loans accounted for under the fair value option. Charge-off ratios are annualized for the quarterly presentation. (3) 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. (4) Regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2019 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the Advanced approaches at March 31, 2018. (5) 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.

17 Bank of America Corporation and Subsidiaries Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures (Dollars in millions, except per share information) 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 net income applicable to common shareholders 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 net income applicable to common shareholders 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 three months ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018. 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.
