MUFG Revises Earnings Target

for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2020

Tokyo, February 4, 2020 --- MUFG today announced that it has revised its earnings target for profits attributable to owners of parent for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, originally announced on May 15, 2019, as follows. Dividend forecasts are unchanged.

1. Earnings target for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 under Japanese GAAP

Profits attributable to

owners of parent

¥900.0bn

¥750.0bn

¥-150.0bn

16.7%

¥872.6bn

2. Reason for the revision

In the consolidated financial statements for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 under Japanese GAAP, an extraordinary loss of ¥207.4 billion was recorded due to the one-time amortization of goodwill associated with an impairment of PT Bank Danamon Indonesia, Tbk. stock. In accordance with this loss, we have revised our earnings target downward based on the share price as of December 31, 2019.

If Bank Danamon's share price has recovered at the end of the fiscal year, the amortization will be reversed for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. Accordingly, actual results may change significantly depending on Bank Danamon's share price at the end of the fiscal year.
