Contractual Maturities
The amortized cost and fair values of Held-to-maturity debt securities and the fair values of Available-for-sale debt securities at March 31, 2025 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may be shorter than contractual maturities because issuers of debt securities may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties. Debt securities not due at a single maturity date and securities embedded with call or prepayment options, such as mortgage-backed securities, are included in the table below based on their contractual maturities.

Realized Gains and Losses
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 (As Adjusted), 2024 and 2025, gross realized gains on sales of Available-for-sale debt securities were ¥107,238 million, ¥124,557 million and ¥49,923 million, respectively, and gross realized losses on sales of Available-for-sale debt securities were ¥169,690 million, ¥274,042 million and ¥200,679 million, respectively.
Impairment Losses on Investment Securities
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, impairment losses on Available-for-sale debt securities of ¥359,330 million were included in Investment securities gains (losses)—net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. These were mainly the impairment losses on the Available-for-sale debt securities held by MUFG Union Bank, which were reclassified as held for sale, and then sold on December 1, 2022.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, impairment losses on Available-for-sale debt securities, which mainly comprised of corporate bonds, were included in Investment securities gains (losses)—net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and were not material.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, impairment losses on Available-for-sale debt securities of ¥12,988 million, which mainly comprised of other debt securities, were included in Investment securities gains (losses)—net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the MUFG Group’s Held-to-maturity debt securities were guaranteed by Japanese or U.S. government entities or agencies and had a long history of no credit losses or were rated investment grade. Based on the analysis performed, the MUFG Group has the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Therefore, no credit losses were expected on these securities and no impairment loss has been recorded.

Evaluating Available-for-sale debt securities for Impairment losses
The following describes the nature of the MUFG Group’s Available-for-sale debt securities and the conclusions reached in determining whether impairment losses exist.
Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds, Japanese prefectural and municipal bonds, Foreign government and official institution bonds
As of March 31, 2025, unrealized losses associated with these securities were deemed to be attributable to changes in market interest rates rather than a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the underlying obligor. Based on a consideration of factors, including cash flow analysis, the MUFG Group expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Accordingly, no credit loss was identified as of March 31, 2025 and no impairment loss has been recorded.
Corporate bonds
As of March 31, 2025, unrealized losses associated with corporate bonds were primarily related to private placement bonds issued by Japanese non-public companies. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining terms of the bonds as estimated using the MUFG Group’s cash flow projections. The key assumptions include probability of default based on credit ratings of the bond issuers and loss given default.
Residential mortgage-backed securities
As of March 31, 2025, unrealized losses associated with these securities were mainly resulting from changes in interest rates and not from changes in credit quality. Based on a consideration of factors, including cash flow analysis, the MUFG Group expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Accordingly, no credit loss was identified as of March 31, 2025 and no impairment loss had been recorded.
Asset-backed securities
As of March 31, 2025, unrealized losses associated with these securities, other than highly illiquid securities for which fair values are difficult to determine, were mainly resulting from changes in interest rates and not from changes in credit quality. Based on a consideration of factors, including cash flow analysis, the MUFG Group expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. For the highly illiquid securities, including certain collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), unrealized losses arise from widening credit spreads, deterioration of the credit quality of the underlying collateral, uncertainty regarding the valuation of such securities and the market’s view of the performance of the fund managers. When the fair value of a security is lower than its amortized cost or when any security is subject to a deterioration in credit rating, the MUFG Group undertakes a cash flow analysis of the underlying collateral to estimate the credit loss and confirms the intent and ability to hold these securities until recovery. Based on the analysis performed, no credit loss was identified as of March 31, 2025 and no impairment loss has been recorded.
