News Release
In the discussion below of Firmwide results of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase” or the “Firm”), information is
presented on a managed basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The discussion below of the Firm’s business segments
is also presented on a managed basis. For more information about managed basis, and non-GAAP financial measures and key
performance measures used by management to evaluate the performance of each line of business, see page 6.
Comparisons noted in the sections below are calculated for the second quarter of 2018 versus the prior-year second quarter,
unless otherwise specified.
Discussion of Results:
Net income was $8.3 billion, an increase of 18%.
Net revenue was $28.4 billion, up 6%. Net interest income was $13.6 billion, up 9%, predominantly driven by the impact of
higher rates and loan growth, partially offset by lower Markets net interest income. Noninterest revenue was $14.7 billion, up
4%, driven by higher Markets revenue, investment banking fees and auto lease income, partially offset by lower Card net
interchange income, which includes a rewards liability adjustment of approximately $330 million. The prior year included a
benefit related to a legal settlement in Corporate7.
Noninterest expense was $16.0 billion, up 8%, driven by higher compensation expense, investments in technology, auto lease
depreciation, volume-related transaction costs, and a loss of $174 million on the liquidation of a legal entity.
The provision for credit losses was $1.2 billion, flat compared with the prior year.
The effective tax rate for the quarter was approximately 21% compared to approximately 28% in the prior year as a result of the
enactment of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (“TCJA”).

News Release
Discussion of Results:
Net income was $3.4 billion, an increase of 53%. Net revenue was $12.5 billion, an increase of 10%.
Consumer & Business Banking net revenue was $6.1 billion, up 17%, predominantly driven by higher net interest income as a
result of higher deposit margins and growth. Home Lending net revenue was $1.3 billion, down 6%, predominantly driven by
production margin compression and lower net servicing revenue. Card, Merchant Services & Auto net revenue was $5.0 billion,
up 6%, driven by lower Card acquisition costs, higher Card net interest income on margin expansion and loan growth, and
higher auto lease volumes, largely offset by lower Card net interchange income, which includes a rewards liability adjustment
of approximately $330 million.
Noninterest expense was $6.9 billion, up 6%, predominantly driven by higher auto lease depreciation and investments in
technology.
The provision for credit losses was $1.1 billion, a decrease of $286 million, reflecting no reserve actions in the current period,
compared with a net reserve build of $250 million in the prior year driven by Card. Net charge-offs were higher in Card, in line
with expectations, and this increase was more than offset by a net recovery in Home Lending driven by a loan sale.

Net income was $3.2 billion, an increase of 18%. Net revenue was $9.9 billion, up 11%.
Banking revenue was $3.5 billion, up 9%. Investment Banking revenue was $1.9 billion, up 13%, driven by higher equity
underwriting and advisory fees. Treasury Services revenue was $1.2 billion, up 12%, driven by higher interest rates and

income and higher gains in the prior year on securities received from restructurings.

billion, up 13%. Excluding the reduction in tax-equivalent adjustments as a result of the enactment of the TCJA, Markets

challenging prior year. Equity Markets revenue was $2.0 billion, up 24%, driven by strength across products, predominantly
in derivatives and Prime. Securities Services revenue was $1.1 billion, up 12%, predominantly driven by higher interest rates
and deposit growth, as well as higher asset-based fees driven by new client activity and higher market levels.

related transaction costs and investments in technology.

by net reserve releases, including in Energy9.

News Release
a. In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported basis, management reviews Firmwide results, including the overhead
ratio, on a “managed” basis; these Firmwide managed basis results are non-GAAP financial measures. The Firm also reviews
the results of the lines of business on a managed basis. The Firm’s definition of managed basis starts, in each case, with the
reported U.S. GAAP results and includes certain reclassifications to present total net revenue for the Firm and each of the
reportable business segments on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis. Accordingly, revenue from investments that receive
tax credits and tax-exempt securities is presented in the managed results on a basis comparable to taxable investments and
securities. These financial measures allow management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and
tax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to tax-exempt items is recorded within income tax expense.
These adjustments have no impact on net income as reported by the Firm as a whole or by the lines of business. For a
reconciliation of the Firm’s results from a reported to managed basis, see page 7 of the Earnings Release Financial Supplement.
b. Tangible common equity (“TCE”), return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) and tangible book value per share
(“TBVPS”), are each non-GAAP financial measures. TCE represents the Firm’s common stockholders’ equity (i.e., total
stockholders’ equity less preferred stock) less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (other than MSRs), net of related
deferred tax liabilities. For a reconciliation from common stockholders’ equity to TCE, see page 9 of the Earnings Release
Financial Supplement. ROTCE measures the Firm’s net income applicable to common equity as a percentage of average TCE.
TBVPS represents the Firm’s TCE at period-end divided by common shares at period-end. Book value per share was $68.85,
$67.59 and $66.05 at June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018, and June 30, 2017, respectively. TCE, ROTCE, and TBVPS are meaningful
to the Firm, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Firm’s use of equity.
c. Adjusted expense and adjusted overhead ratio are each non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted expense excluded Firmwide
legal expense of $0 million, $70 million and $61 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018 and
June 30, 2017, respectively. The adjusted overhead ratio measures the Firm’s adjusted expense as a percentage of adjusted
managed net revenue. Management believes this information helps investors understand the effect of these items on reported
results and provides an alternate presentation of the Firm’s performance.
d. Estimated as of June 30, 2018. The Basel III regulatory capital, risk-weighted assets and capital ratios, (fully phased-in effective
January 1, 2019), and the Basel III supplementary leverage ratio (“SLR”), (fully-phased in effective January 1, 2018), are all
considered key regulatory capital measures. The capital adequacy of the Firm is evaluated against the Basel III approach
(Standardized or Advanced) that results, for each quarter, in the lower ratio (the “Collins Floor”). These measures are used
by management, bank regulators, investors and analysts to assess and monitor the Firm’s capital position. For additional
information on these measures, including the Collins Floor, see Capital Risk Management on pages 82-91 of the Firm’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
e. Core loans represent loans considered central to the Firm’s ongoing businesses; core loans exclude loans classified as trading
assets, runoff portfolios, discontinued portfolios and portfolios the Firm has an intent to exit.
