Notes:
(1)Effective April 1, 2018, the MUFG Group reorganized its business groups. Goodwill originally recognized for Retail Banking Business Group, Corporate Banking Business Group, Trust Assets Business Group and Global Business Group other than MUAH and Krungsri was ¥1,900,019 million, which has been fully impaired before April 1, 2017. As these impairment losses recorded in past before the reorganization of the segment and are irrelevant to the annual impairment test under the new segment, the accumulated impaired loss is not allocated to new business segments after the reorganization of business group.
(2)Goodwill acquired during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, mainly relate to the acquisitions described in Note 2.

U.S. GAAP requires to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired, using a process that compares the carrying amount of a reporting unit with its fair value. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, but not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the MUFG Group recognized ¥109,933 million of impairment of goodwill relating to the First Sentier Investors reporting unit, which was renamed the First Sentier Group reporting unit, within the Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group segment. Due largely to market volatility and a decline in the equity markets, the portfolio balance of assets under management across a number of strategies decreased, which resulted in a decrease in the reporting unit’s cash flow
projections, and the discount rate increased. As a result, the fair value of the reporting unit was measured on December 31, 2024, for the quantitative goodwill impairment test, and led to an impairment of goodwill as the fair value had fallen below the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The income approach estimates the fair value of the reporting unit by discounting management’s projections of the reporting unit’s cash flows, including a terminal value to estimate the fair value of cash flows beyond the final year of projected results, using a discount rate derived from the capital asset pricing model.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the MUFG Group recognized ¥32,388 million of impairment of goodwill relating to the Mandala Multifinance reporting unit within the Global Commercial Banking Business Group segment. Due largely to the weak auto markets in Indonesia, two-wheeler retail sales showed slow growth during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, which resulted in a decrease in the reporting unit’s cash flow projections. As a result, the fair value of the reporting unit was measured on December 31, 2024 for the quantitative goodwill impairment test, and led to an impairment of goodwill as the fair value had fallen below the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The income approach estimates the fair value of the reporting unit by discounting management’s projections of the reporting unit’s cash flows, including a terminal value to estimate the fair value of cash flows beyond the final year of projected results, using a discount rate derived from the capital asset pricing model.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the MUFG Group recognized ¥38,636 million of impairment of goodwill relating to the MUFG Pension & Market Services reporting unit within the Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group segment. Due largely to the loss of a significant client and the decline in corporate activities in the capital market, the reporting unit’s cash flow projections have decreased. As a result, the fair value of the reporting unit was measured on June 30, 2025, for the quantitative goodwill impairment test, and led to an impairment of goodwill as the fair value had fallen below the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The income approach estimates the fair value of the reporting unit by discounting management’s projections of the reporting unit’s cash flows, including a terminal value to estimate the fair value of cash flows beyond the final year of projected results, using a discount rate derived from the capital asset pricing model.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the MUFG Group recognized ¥53,690 million of impairment of goodwill relating to the First Sentier Group reporting unit within the Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group segment. The reporting unit’s cash flow projections decreased and the discount rate increased, primarily due to lower projected revenues and profitability of AlbaCore Capital Group, reflecting the timing of new fund launches and increased upfront investments in new business strategies prior to revenue generation from those new funds. As a result, the fair value of the reporting unit was measured on December 31, 2025, for the quantitative goodwill impairment test, and led to an impairment of goodwill as the fair value had fallen below the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The income approach estimates the fair value of the reporting unit by discounting management’s projections of the reporting unit’s cash flows, including a terminal value to estimate the fair value of cash flows beyond the final year of projected results, using a discount rate derived from the capital asset pricing model.

In computing the amount of impairment losses, fair value was determined primarily based on the present value of expected future cash flows, the estimated value based on appraisals, or market prices.
