NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report includes forward-looking statements, which include expectations for our operations and business and our assumptions for those expectations. Do not rely unduly on forward-looking statements. Actual results might differ significantly compared to our expectations. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this report, and the other risks described in this report and in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for factors to be considered when reading any forward-looking statements in this filing.
This report includes forward-looking statements, which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may make forward-looking statements in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, press releases, news articles and when we are speaking on behalf of UnionBanCal Corporation.

(1) | The pre-tax, pre-provision income is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that this is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate capital to cover loan losses through a credit cycle. |
(2) | Annualized. |
(3) | The efficiency ratio is total noninterest expense as a percentage of total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income). The core efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, is net noninterest expense (noninterest expense excluding privatization-related expenses and fair value amortization/accretion, foreclosed asset expense, (reversal of) provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments, low income housing credit investment amortization expense, expenses of the consolidated Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), merger costs related to acquisitions, asset impairment charges and certain costs related to productivity initiatives) as a percentage of total revenue (net interest income (taxable-equivalent basis) and noninterest income), excluding impact of privatization and gains relating to productivity initiatives. Management discloses the core efficiency ratio as a measure of the efficiency of our operations, focusing on those costs most relevant to our core activities. Refer to “Noninterest Expense” in this Form 10-Q for further information. |
(4) | Amounts are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 35 percent. |
(5) | Core deposits exclude brokered deposits, foreign time deposits and domestic time deposits greater than $250,000. |
(6) | The Tier 1 common capital ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital, less qualifying trust preferred securities, if any, to risk-weighted assets. The Tier 1 common capital ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, facilitates the understanding of UnionBanCal’s capital structure and is used to assess and compare the quality and composition of UnionBanCal’s capital structure to other financial institutions. Refer to “Capital” in this Form 10-Q for further information. |
(7) | The tangible common equity ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as tangible common equity divided by tangible assets. The methodology for determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. The tangible common equity ratio facilitates the understanding of UnionBanCal’s capital structure and is used to assess and compare the quality and composition of UnionBanCal’s capital structure to other financial institutions. Refer to “Capital” in this Form 10-Q for further information. |
(8) | The allowance for loan losses ratios are calculated using the allowance for loan losses against end of period total loans held for investment or total nonaccrual loans, as appropriate. |
(9) | The allowance for credit losses ratios are calculated using the sum of the allowances for loan losses and for losses on off-balance sheet commitments against end of period total loans held for investment or total nonaccrual loans, as appropriate. |
(10) | These ratios exclude the impact of the FDIC covered loans, the related allowance for loan losses and FDIC covered OREO, which are covered under loss share agreements between Union Bank, N.A. and the FDIC. Such agreements are related to the April 2010 acquisitions of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Frontier Bank and Tamalpais Bank. Management believes the exclusion of FDIC covered loans and FDIC covered OREO in certain asset quality ratios that include nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets, total loans held for investment and the allowance for loan losses or credit losses in the numerator or denominator provides a better perspective into underlying asset quality trends. |

Please refer to our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (2011 Form 10-K) along with the following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2012 in this Form 10-Q. Averages, as presented in the following tables, are substantially all based upon daily average balances.
As used in this Form 10-Q, the term “UnionBanCal” or “the Company” and terms such as “we,” “us” and “our” refer to UnionBanCal Corporation, Union Bank, N.A., one or more of their consolidated subsidiaries, or to all of them together.
We are a California-based financial holding company and commercial bank holding company whose major subsidiary, Union Bank, N.A. (the Bank), is a commercial bank. We provide a wide range of financial services to consumers, small businesses, middle-market companies and major corporations, primarily in California, Oregon, Washington, Texas and New York, as well as nationally and internationally. We had consolidated assets of $92.3 billion at March 31, 2012.
On November 4, 2008, we became a privately held company (privatization transaction). All of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are owned by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU).
We are providing you with an overview of what we believe are the most significant factors and developments that affected our first quarter 2012 results and that could influence our future results. Further detailed information can be found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. In addition, we ask that you carefully read this entire document and any other reports that we refer to in this Form 10-Q for more detailed information that will assist your understanding of trends, events and uncertainties that impact us.
Our sources of revenue are net interest income and noninterest income (collectively “total revenue”). Net interest income is generated predominantly from interest received from loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, less interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The primary sources of noninterest income are revenues from service charges on deposit accounts, trust and investment management fees, and trading account activities. In the first quarter of 2012, revenue was comprised of 76 percent net interest income and 24 percent noninterest income. Changes in interest rates, credit quality, economic trends and the capital markets are primary factors that affect our revenue sources. A summary of our financial results is presented below.
Our primary sources of liquidity are core deposits and wholesale funding. Core deposits exclude brokered deposits, foreign time deposits and domestic time deposits greater than $250,000. Wholesale funding includes unsecured funds raised from interbank and other sources, both domestic and international, and secured funds raised by selling securities under repurchase agreements and by borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). We evaluate and monitor the stability and reliability of our various funding sources to help ensure that we have sufficient liquidity when adverse situations arise.
Performance Highlights
In the first quarter of 2012, net income was $195 million compared to $235 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a higher benefit from the reversal of provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2011, resulting from improved credit quality of our loan portfolio in 2011.
The provision for credit losses was a benefit of $3 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared with a benefit of $115 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in benefit reflected the growth in our loan

portfolio along with a moderating pace of credit quality improvement of our loan portfolio starting in the fourth quarter of 2011. Our ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans held for investment, excluding FDIC covered loans, decreased to 1.00 percent at March 31, 2012 from 1.68 percent at March 31, 2011, driven by the growth of our loan portfolio, and lower levels of criticized and nonaccrual loans during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011. See further discussion under “Allowance for Credit Losses.”
Total revenue was $855 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared with $858 million in the first quarter of 2011. Our net interest income in the first quarter of 2012 was $653 million compared with $618 million in the first quarter of 2011. The increase was substantially due to overall loan and investment securities growth, partially offset by compression in the net interest margin. The net interest margin decline of 22 basis points was primarily due to lower yields on loans, excluding FDIC covered loans, an increase in lower yielding interest bearing deposits in banks, and declining yields on securities, partially offset by higher levels of noninterest bearing funding sources.
The Federal Reserve Board has stated its intentions to keep the federal funds target rate at near zero through late 2014, and implemented a program designed to lower long-term rates by purchasing longer-dated U.S. Treasury bonds and agency mortgage-backed securities, and selling short-dated securities. These actions will continue to place downward pressure on our net interest margin.
In the first quarter of 2012, our noninterest income was $202 million compared with $240 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in the expected cash flows associated with the FDIC indemnification asset. Improved credit performance on our FDIC covered loans reduced the accretion rate for the indemnification asset, but increased the interest income recorded on the FDIC covered loans. The decline in our noninterest income was also due to lower gains on the sale of securities and a first quarter 2011 gain on the sale of MasterCard shares, partially offset by a gain on the sale of certain business units recorded in the first quarter of 2012.
Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2012 was flat at $614 million compared with the first quarter of 2011. Other noninterest expense declined slightly primarily due to certain reserves for contingencies recorded in the first quarter of 2011 offset by a lower reversal of provision for off-balance sheet credit commitments and higher salaries and employee benefits expense in the current quarter.
Capital Ratios
We continued to maintain strong capital ratios in the first quarter of 2012. At March 31, 2012, our Tier 1 common capital ratio and our total risk-based capital ratios were 13.73 percent and 15.77 percent, respectively, compared with 13.82 percent and 15.98 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2011.
Pacific Capital Bancorp Acquisition
On March 9, 2012, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Pacific Capital Bancorp (PCB), a bank holding company headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, for approximately $1.5 billion in cash. The transaction will enhance the Company’s geographic footprint within California’s Central Coast region where PCB’s principal subsidiary, Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, N.A., conducts its banking activities. At March 31, 2012, PCB had total assets of approximately $5.8 billion. The acquisition is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012, subject to certain customary closing conditions, including approvals from banking regulators in the United States and Japan.
UnionBanCal Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and the general practices of the banking industry, which include management estimates and judgments. The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based

Table of Contents
on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. For example, we use discount factors and other assumptions to measure certain assets and liabilities. A change in the discount factor or another important assumption could significantly increase or decrease the reported amounts of those assets and liabilities and result in either a beneficial or an adverse impact to our financial results. We use historical loss factors, adjusted for current conditions, to estimate the inherent credit loss present in our loan and lease portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the loss factors that we use. Other significant estimates that we use include the valuation of certain derivatives and securities, the expected cash flows related to our acquired loans and FDIC indemnification asset, the assumptions used in measuring our pension obligations, and assumptions regarding our effective tax rates.
For each financial reporting period, our most significant estimates are presented to and discussed with the Audit & Finance Committee of our Board of Directors.
Understanding our accounting policies is fundamental to understanding our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, both our critical accounting estimates and our significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in our 2011 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2012 increased $35 million, or 6 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2011. The increase was primarily due to overall loan growth, partially offset by compression in the net interest margin. The net interest margin declined 22 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to declining yields on loans, excluding FDIC covered loans, and securities.

Noninterest income decreased to $202 million in the first quarter 2012 from $240 million in the first quarter 2011. The $38 million decrease was primarily due to a $20 million decline in other noninterest income, substantially due to a decrease in indemnification asset accretion, driven by better than expected

Table of Contents
FDIC covered loan performance, and a $15 million gain on the sale of MasterCard shares in the first quarter of 2011, partially offset by a $24 million gain on the sale of certain business units related to productivity initiatives in the first quarter of 2012. Securities gains, net, decreased primarily due to lower gains on the sale of U.S. Government-sponsored agency securities in the first quarter of 2012.
Noninterest expense was $614 million in the first quarter 2012 compared with $615 million in the first quarter 2011, which reflects a decrease in loss contingency reserves offset by a lower reversal of provision for off-balance sheet credit commitments and higher salaries and employee benefits expense.
The core efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management to measure the efficiency of our operations, focusing on those costs management believes to be most relevant to our core activities. Productivity initiative costs primarily consist of salaries and benefits associated with operational efficiency enhancements. Productivity initiative gains reflect the gain from the sale of certain business units in the first quarter of 2012. The following table shows the calculation of this ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2012 was 21 percent, compared to 33 percent for the first quarter of 2011. The change in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 was primarily driven by income tax benefits related to low income housing and alternative energy income tax credits compared to pre-tax income and one-time items recorded during the first quarter of 2012.
Considering the current status of our federal and state tax examinations, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by $45-$50 million during the next twelve months.
For further information regarding income tax expense, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Income Tax Expense” and “Changes in our tax rates could affect our future results” in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A and Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2011 Form 10-K.

Securities
Our securities portfolio is managed to maximize total return while maintaining prudent levels of quality, market risk and liquidity. At March 31, 2012, substantially all of our securities were investment grade. The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair values of securities are detailed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. Substantially all of our securities available for sale are held for Asset and Liability Management (ALM) and liquidity management purposes.
Our securities held to maturity consist of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and mortgage-backed securities, of which $155 million were transferred from available for sale during the first quarter of 2012. The CLOs consist of Cash Flow CLOs. A Cash Flow CLO is a structured finance product that securitizes a diversified pool of loan assets into multiple classes of notes from the cash flows generated by such loans. Cash Flow CLOs pay the note holders through the receipt of interest and principal repayments from the underlying loans, unlike other types of CLOs that pay note holders through the trading and sale of underlying collateral.
Loans Held for Investment
The following table shows loans held for investment outstanding by loan type at the end of each period presented:

Commercial and Industrial Loans
Our commercial and industrial loans are extended principally to corporations, middle-market businesses and small businesses and are originated primarily through our commercial banking offices. These offices, which rely extensively on relationship-oriented banking, provide a variety of services including cash management services, lines of credit, accounts receivable and inventory financing. Separately, we originate or participate in a variety of financial services to major corporations. These services include traditional commercial banking and specialized financing tailored to the needs of each customer’s specific industry. We are active in, among other sectors, oil and gas, power and utilities,
14
Table of Contents
manufacturing, finance and insurance services, wholesale trade, real estate and leasing, and communications. These industries comprise the majority of our commercial and industrial portfolio. While loans extended within these sectors comprise the majority of our commercial and industrial portfolio, no individual industry sector exceeded 10 percent of our total loans held for investment at either March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
The commercial and industrial portfolio increased $0.2 billion, or 1 percent, from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012, reflecting improved lending conditions. We believe that the overall credit quality of our portfolio of commercial and industrial loans continued to improve as borrowers’ financial condition improved and as they had access to more refinancing options.
Construction and Commercial Mortgage Loans
We engage in real estate lending that includes commercial mortgage loans and construction loans secured by deeds of trust. The commercial mortgage loan portfolio consists of loans secured by commercial income properties, 77 percent of which are located in California, 7 percent in Washington, and the remaining 16 percent in various other states.
Construction loans are extended primarily to commercial property developers and to residential builders. As of March 31, 2012, the construction loan portfolio consisted of approximately 76 percent of commercial income producing real estate and 24 percent with residential homebuilders. The construction loan portfolio decreased $94 million, or 11 percent, from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012, mainly due to a decline of $80 million, or 12 percent, in the income property portfolio and a $15 million, or 7 percent, decline in the homebuilder portfolio. Geographically, 59 percent of the construction loan portfolio was domiciled in California as of March 31, 2012. The largest concentration outside of California was 8 percent in the State of Maryland. The California portfolio is distributed as follows: 39 percent in the Los Angeles/Orange County region, including the Inland Empire, 29 percent in the San Francisco Bay Area, 11 percent in Sacramento and the Central Valley, 11 percent in San Diego, and 10 percent in the Central Coast region.
Residential Mortgage Loans
We originate residential mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties, through our multiple channel network (including branches, private bankers, mortgage brokers, and telephone centers) throughout California, Oregon and Washington, and we periodically purchase loans in our market area. We hold substantially all of the loans we originate. The residential mortgage portfolio increased $0.5 billion, or 2 percent, from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012, as we experienced strong new origination activity.
At March 31, 2012, 68 percent of our residential mortgage loans have current payment terms in which the monthly payment covers the full amount of interest due, but does not reduce the principal balance. At origination, these interest-only loans had strong credit profiles and had weighted average loan-to-value (LTV) ratios of approximately 67 percent. The remainder of the portfolio consists of regularly amortizing loans and a small amount of balloon loans. Refer to Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information on refreshed Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores and refreshed LTV ratios for our residential mortgage loans at March 31, 2012.
We do not have a program for originating or purchasing subprime loan products. The Bank’s “no doc” and “low doc” loan origination programs were discontinued in 2008, except for a streamlined refinance process for existing Bank mortgages that was discontinued in 2011. At March 31, 2012, the outstanding balances of the “no doc” and “low doc” portfolios were approximately 36 percent of our total residential loan portfolio. At March 31, 2012, the aggregate balance of “no doc” and “low doc” loans past due 30 days or more was $167 million, compared with $174 million at December 31, 2011, and these loan delinquency rates remained below the industry average for California prime loans.
15
Table of Contents
Total residential mortgage loans 30 days or more delinquent were $392 million at March 31, 2012, compared with $397 million at December 31, 2011.
Home Equity and Other Consumer Loans
We originate home equity and other consumer loans and lines, principally through our branch network and Private Banking Offices. We had approximately 33 percent of these home equity loans and lines supported by first liens on residential properties at both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Our total home equity loans and lines delinquent 30 days or more were $41 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $44 million at December 31, 2011. To manage risk associated with lending commitments, we review all equity-secured lines annually for creditworthiness and reduce or freeze limits, as permitted by laws and regulations.
Lease Financing
We classify our leases as either direct financing leases, where the assets leased are acquired without additional financing from other sources, or leveraged leases, where a substantial portion of the financing is provided by debt with no recourse to us. At March 31, 2012, we had leveraged leases of $746 million, which were net of non-recourse debt of approximately $1.2 billion. We utilize a number of special purpose entities for our leveraged leases. As required by US GAAP for leveraged leases, the gross lease receivable is offset by the qualifying non-recourse debt. In leveraged lease transactions, the third-party lender may only look to the collateral value of the leased assets for repayment in the event of lessee default.
FDIC Covered Loans
We acquired loans as part of the FDIC-assisted acquisitions of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Frontier Bank (Frontier) and Tamalpais Bank (Tamalpais) during the second quarter of 2010. All of the acquired loans are covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC and are referred to as “FDIC covered loans.” We will be reimbursed for a substantial portion of any future losses on the FDIC covered loans under the terms of the FDIC loss share agreements. Total FDIC covered loans outstanding at March 31, 2012 were composed of $771 million in commercial and industrial, commercial mortgage, and construction loans, and $78 million in residential mortgage and other consumer loans. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Form 10-K for more information on covered assets and FDIC loss share agreements.
Cross-Border Outstandings
Our cross-border outstandings reflect certain additional economic and political risks that are not reflected in domestic outstandings. These risks include those arising from exchange rate fluctuations and restrictions on the transfer of funds. Our total cross-border outstandings for Canada, the only country where such outstandings exceeded one percent of total assets, were $1.2 billion for both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The cross-border outstandings are based on category and domicile of ultimate risk and are comprised of balances with banks, trading account assets, securities available for sale, securities purchased under resale agreements, loans, accrued interest receivable, acceptances outstanding and investments with foreign entities.
As of March 31, 2012, our sovereign and non-sovereign debt exposure to European countries experiencing significant economic and fiscal difficulties was de minimis.

The Dodd-Frank Act includes a provision that permanently increased the standard amount of FDIC deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per customer. As a result, we revised our definition of core deposits to include domestic time deposit accounts with balances up to $250,000. Core deposits continue to exclude all brokered deposits and foreign time deposits.

Both the Company and Union Bank are subject to various regulations of the federal banking agencies, including minimum capital requirements. We are both required to maintain minimum ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets (the Leverage ratio). We interact with the federal banking agencies regarding matters that pertain to capital management and during the course of those discussions become aware, from time to time, of evolving regulatory interpretations of capital adequacy guidelines. As these interpretations are clarified, their resolution can result in changes to the methodologies applied to the computations of our capital ratios. As of March 31, 2012, management believes the capital ratios of the Company and Union Bank met all regulatory requirements of “well-capitalized” institutions.
In January 2012, the Company timely filed its Capital Plan Review (“CapPR”) with the Federal Reserve. The CapPR is an assessment of the capital plans of bank holding companies in the U.S. with total assets exceeding $50 billion that were not included in the Federal Reserve’s Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review of the largest U.S. bank holding companies. In March 2012, the Company was notified by the Federal Reserve that it did not object to the Company’s CapPR as submitted. The Federal Reserve’s regulations provide that a bank holding company may be required to revise and re-submit its capital plan if certain material events occur after adoption of its plan. For further information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Capital” in our 2011 Form 10-K.
In addition to capital ratios determined in accordance with regulatory requirements, we consider the tangible common equity ratio and the Tier 1 common capital ratio when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy. These capital ratios are viewed by management, and presented below, to further facilitate the understanding of our capital structure and for use in assessing and comparing the quality and composition of UNBC’s capital structure to other financial institutions. These ratios are not defined by US GAAP or federal banking regulations. Therefore, they are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. Our tangible common equity ratio calculation methods may differ from those used by other financial services companies. Refer to “Supervision and Regulation-Basel Committee Capital Standards” in Part I, Item 1 of our 2011 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Basel Committee capital standards.
The following table summarizes the calculation of our tangible common equity ratio and Tier 1 common capital ratio as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Allowance for Credit Losses
Allowance Policy and Methodology
We maintain an allowance for credit losses (defined as both the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for off-balance sheet commitment losses) to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio as well as for off-balance sheet commitments. Understanding our policies on the allowance for credit losses is fundamental to understanding our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, our significant policies on the allowance for credit losses are discussed in detail in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements and in the section “Allowances for Credit Losses” included in our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2011 Form 10-K. For additional information regarding our allowance for credit losses, refer to Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
Allowance and Related Provision for Credit Losses
We recorded a provision for loan losses, excluding FDIC covered loans, of $1 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to a reversal of the provision for loan losses of $102 million during the first quarter of 2011. The improved credit quality of the loan portfolio was particularly evident in lower levels of criticized credits in the commercial segment, which declined from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2011 to $1.5 billion at March 31, 2012, continuing the downward trend that was observed during the second half of 2011. The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans held for investment, excluding FDIC covered loans, decreased to 1.00 percent at March 31, 2012 from 1.12 percent at December 31, 2011.
At March 31, 2012, the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses included $173 million related to criticized credits, compared to $208 million at December 31, 2011. Criticized credits are those that are internally risk graded as “special mention,” “substandard” or “doubtful.” Special mention credits are potentially weak, as the borrower has begun to exhibit deteriorating trends, which, if not corrected, could jeopardize repayment of the loan and result in further downgrade. Substandard credits have well-defined weaknesses, which, if not corrected, could jeopardize the full satisfaction of the debt. A credit classified as “doubtful” has critical weaknesses that make full collection improbable.
Changes in the Unallocated Allowance
The unallocated allowance at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $127 million and $135 million, respectively. The decrease from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012 was primarily driven by the enhancements to the formulaic allowance for credit losses methodology for commercial real estate, which decreased the inherent probable loss not captured in the allocated component of the allowance for credit losses and thus decreased this component of the unallocated reserve. The unallocated reserve captures the inherent losses not included in the allocated allowance and continues to reflect higher than normal loss rates for smaller balance commercial mortgages, the fiscal challenges for the State of California and local governments, extended collection periods for residential mortgage loans, and the continuation of historically low natural gas prices.

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned (OREO). Nonaccrual loans are those for which management has discontinued accrual of interest because there exists significant uncertainty as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest or such loans have become contractually past due 90 days with respect to principal or interest. For a more detailed discussion of the accounting for nonaccrual loans, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Form 10-K. OREO includes property where the Bank acquired title through foreclosure or “deed in lieu” of foreclosure.
The following table sets forth an analysis of nonperforming assets:

During the first quarters of 2012 and 2011, we sold nonperforming loans of $25 million and $59 million, respectively.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
TDRs are those loans for which we have granted a concession to a borrower as a result of that borrower experiencing financial difficulty and, consequently, we receive less than the current market-based compensation for loans with similar risk characteristics. Such loans are classified as impaired and are reviewed for specific reserves either individually or in pools with similar risk characteristics. Our loss mitigation strategies are designed to minimize economic loss and, at times, may result in changes to original terms, including maturity date extensions, loan-to-value requirements, and interest rates. We evaluate whether these changes to the terms and conditions of our loans meet the TDR criteria after
22
Table of Contents
considering the specific situation of the borrower and all relevant facts and circumstances related to the modification. For our consumer portfolio segment, TDRs are initially placed on nonaccrual and typically a minimum of six consecutive months of sustained performance is required before returning to accrual status. For our commercial portfolio segment, we generally determine accrual status for TDRs by performing an individual assessment of each loan, which may include, among other factors, the consideration of demonstrated performance by the borrower under the previous terms.
Modifications of FDIC covered loans that are accounted for within loan pools in accordance with the accounting standards for purchased credit-impaired loans do not result in the removal of these loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a TDR. Accordingly, as each pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows, modifications of loans within such pools are not TDRs.
The following table provides a summary of TDRs by loan type, including nonaccrual loans and loans that have been returned to accrual status, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Refer to Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for more information.

Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing
Loans held for investment 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $2 million at March 31, 2012 and $1 million at December 31, 2011. These amounts exclude FDIC covered loans accounted for within loan pools in accordance with the accounting standards for purchased credit-impaired loans as the past due status of individual loans within the pools is not meaningful.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The objective of market risk management is to mitigate any undue adverse impact on earnings and capital arising from changes in interest rates and other market variables. This risk management objective supports our broad objective of enhancing shareholder value, which encompasses stable earnings growth and capital stability over time. Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from an adverse change in the market value of financial instruments caused by fluctuations in market prices or rates. The primary market risk to which the Company is exposed is interest rate risk. Substantially all of our interest rate risk arises from instruments, positions and transactions entered into for purposes other than trading. These include loans, securities, deposits, borrowings and derivative financial instruments. To a much lesser degree, we are exposed to price risk in our trading portfolio.

Risk Governance
The Board of Directors (Board), directly or through its appropriate committee, approves our Asset Liability Management Policy (ALM Policy), which governs the management of market and liquidity risks and guides our investment, derivatives, trading and funding activities. The ALM Policy establishes the Bank’s risk tolerance by outlining standards for measuring market and liquidity risks, creates Board-level limits for specific market risks, establishes Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) responsibilities and requires independent review and oversight of market and liquidity risk activities.
The Risk & Capital Committee (RCC), composed of selected senior officers of the Bank, among other things, strives to ensure that the Bank has an effective process to identify, monitor, measure, and manage market risk as required by the ALM Policy. The RCC provides the broad and strategic guidance of market risk management by defining the risk/return direction for the Bank, delegating to and reviewing market risk management activities of the ALCO and by approving the investment, derivatives and trading policies that govern the Bank’s activities. ALCO, as authorized by the RCC, is responsible for the management of market risk and approves specific risk management programs including those related to interest rate hedging, investment securities, wholesale funding and trading activities.
The Treasurer is primarily responsible for the implementation of risk management strategies approved by ALCO and for operational management of market risk through the funding, investment and derivatives hedging activities of Corporate Treasury. The manager of the Global Capital Markets (GCM) is responsible for managing price risk through the trading activities conducted in GCM. The Market Risk Management (MRM) unit is responsible for the monitoring of market risk and functions independently of all operating and management units.
The Bank has separate and distinct methods for managing the market risk associated with our asset and liability management activities and our trading activities, as described below.
Interest Rate Risk Management (Other Than Trading)
ALCO monitors interest rate risk monthly through a variety of modeling techniques that are used to quantify the sensitivity of Net Interest Income (NII) to changes in interest rates. Our NII policy measurement typically involves a simulation of “Earnings-at-Risk” (EaR) in which we estimate the earnings impact of gradual parallel shifts in the yield curve of up and down 200 basis points over a 12-month horizon using a forecasted balance sheet. Given the current and persistently low interest rate environment, the -200 basis point parallel scenario was replaced with a -100 basis point parallel scenario.
Earnings at Risk
The table below presents the estimated increase (decrease) in NII given a gradual parallel shift in the yield curve up 200 basis points and down 100 basis points over a 12-month horizon.
(Dollars in millions) | March 31, 2012 | December 31, 2011 | ||||||
Effect on NII: | ||||||||
Increase 200 basis points | $ | 97.4 | $ | 98.8 | ||||
as a percentage of base case NII | 3.81 | % | 3.98 | % | ||||
Decrease 100 basis points | $ | (54.1 | ) | $ | (63.4 | ) | ||
as a percentage of base case NII | (2.12 | )% | (2.55 | )% |
Generally, our short-term assets re-price faster than short-term non-maturity liabilities. As a result, higher short-term rates would increase NII. Alternatively, gradually lower short-term rates would decrease NII. With regard to the curve shape, curve steepening would increase NII while curve flattening would decrease NII.

Table of Contents
We believe that our EaR simulation provides management with a reasonably comprehensive view of the sensitivity of NII to changes in interest rates, over the measurement horizon. However, as with any financial model, the underlying assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. In particular, two significant models used in interest rate risk measurement address residential mortgage prepayment speeds and non-maturity deposit rate and balance behaviors. These models use the Company’s historical deposit balance and pricing to forecast future deposit behavior. Customer behavior may have changed significantly since the financial crisis, with increased uncertainty about the stickiness of deposit inflows. Actual results may differ from those derived in the simulation analysis due to extraordinary market events, unanticipated changes in customer behavior, market interest rates, product pricing, investment, funding and hedging activities.
ALM Activities
Generally, in managing the interest rate sensitivity of our balance sheet, we coordinate various strategies and update them as needed. During the first quarter of 2012, the Bank’s asset sensitive EaR profile decreased slightly as changes were made to balance sheet composition as well as to forecasted new activity over the next twelve months.
ALM Securities
We transferred approximately $155 million of mortgage-backed securities from securities available for sale to securities held to maturity during the first quarter of 2012. Additional mortgage-backed securities were purchased during the quarter into the held to maturity portfolio. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our ALM securities portfolio included $23.9 billion and $22.6 billion, respectively, of securities for ALM purposes. Our ALM securities portfolio consists of securities issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities and had an expected weighted average life of 2.8 years at March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012, approximately $4.6 billion of the portfolio was pledged to secure trust and public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. During the first quarter of 2012, we purchased $3.9 billion and sold $1.2 billion of securities, as part of our investment portfolio strategy, while $1.5 billion of ALM securities matured or were called.
Based on current prepayment projections, the estimated ALM securities portfolio’s effective duration was 2.0 at March 31, 2012, compared to 1.7 at December 31, 2011. Effective duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a bond portfolio to immediate parallel shifts in interest rates. An effective duration of 2.0 suggests an expected price decrease of approximately 2.0 percent for an immediate 1.0 percent parallel increase in interest rates.
ALM Derivatives
During the first quarter of 2012, the notional amount of the ALM derivatives portfolio increased by $2.8 billion due to the addition of new receive fixed interest rate swap contracts to hedge floating rate commercial loans.
The fair value of the ALM derivatives portfolio increased primarily due to the positive impact of the receive fixed swap contracts driven by a decrease in interest rates. The increase in fair value was mitigated by the erosion of time value on interest rate cap contracts and the negative impact of a decrease in interest rates on the pay fixed swap contracts. For additional discussion of derivative instruments and our hedging strategies, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Form 10-K.

Trading Activities
We enter into trading account activities primarily as a financial intermediary for customers and, to some extent, for our own account. By acting as a financial intermediary, we are able to provide our customers with access to a range of products supporting the securities, foreign exchange and derivatives markets. In acting for our own account, we may take positions in certain securities, foreign exchange and interest rate instruments, subject to various limits in amount, tenor and other respects, with the objective of generating trading profits.
We believe that the risks associated with these positions are conservatively managed. We utilize a combination of position limits, Value-at-Risk (VaR), and stop-loss limits, applied at an aggregated level and to various sub-components within those limits. Positions are controlled and reported both in notional and VaR terms. Our calculation of VaR estimates how high the loss in fair value might be, at a 99 percent confidence level, due to an adverse shift in market prices over a period of ten business days. VaR at the trading activity level is managed within the maximum limit of $14 million established by Board policy for total trading positions. The VaR model incorporates assumptions on key parameters, including holding period and historical volatility.
Consistent with our business strategy of focusing on the sale of capital markets products to customers, we manage our trading risk exposures at relatively low levels. Our foreign exchange business continues to derive the majority of its revenue from customer-related transactions. We take trading positions with other banks only on a limited basis and we do not take any large or long-term strategic positions in the market for our own portfolio. Similarly, we continue to generate most of our securities trading income from customer-related transactions.
As of March 31, 2012, we had a notional amount of $33.4 billion of interest rate derivative contracts. We enter into these agreements for customer accommodations and for our own account, accepting risks up to management approved VaR levels. As of March 31, 2012, we had a notional amount of $4.0 billion of foreign exchange derivative contracts. We enter into these agreements for customer accommodations to support their hedging and operating needs and for our own account, accepting risks up to management approved VaR levels. As of March 31, 2012, we had a notional amount of $5.9 billion of commodity derivative contracts. We enter into such contracts to satisfy the needs of our customers, and we enter into matching contracts with other counterparties, to remove our exposure to market risk. As of March 31, 2012, we had a notional amount of $3.3 billion of equity contracts representing our exposure to the embedded derivatives and the related hedges contained in our market-link CDs.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank’s financial condition or overall safety and soundness is adversely affected by an inability, or perceived inability, to meet its contractual obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain a sufficient amount of liquidity and diversity of funding sources to allow the Bank to meet expected obligations in both stable and adverse conditions.
The management of liquidity risk is governed by the ALM Policy under the oversight of the RCC and the Audit & Finance Committee of the Board. ALCO oversees liquidity risk management activities. Corporate Treasury formulates the Bank’s liquidity and contingency planning strategies and is responsible for identifying, managing and reporting on liquidity risk. Market Risk Management, which is part of the Enterprise Wide Risk Reporting and Analysis unit, partners with Corporate Treasury to establish sound policy and effective risk controls. RCC and ALCO also maintain a Contingency Funding Plan that identifies actions to be taken to help ensure adequate liquidity if an event should occur that disrupts or adversely affects the Bank’s normal funding activities.
Liquidity risk is managed using a total balance sheet perspective that analyzes all sources and uses of liquidity including loans, investments, deposits and borrowings, as well as off-balance sheet exposures. Management does not rely on any one source of liquidity and manages availability in response to changing balance sheet needs. Various tools are used to measure and monitor liquidity, including pro-forma forecasting of the sources and uses of cash flows over a 12-month time horizon, stress testing of the pro-forma forecast and assessment of the Bank’s capacity to raise incremental unsecured and secured funding. Stress testing, which incorporates both bank-specific and systemic market scenarios that would adversely affect the Bank’s liquidity position, facilitates the identification of appropriate remedial measures to help ensure that the Bank maintains adequate liquidity in adverse conditions. Such measures may include extending the maturity profile of liabilities, optimizing liability levels through pricing strategies, adding new funding sources, altering dependency on certain funding sources and/or selling assets.
Our primary sources of liquidity are core deposits (described below), our securities portfolio and wholesale funding. Wholesale funding includes unsecured funds raised from interbank and other sources, both domestic and international, including both senior and subordinated debt. Also included are secured funds raised by selling securities under repurchase agreements and by borrowing from the FHLB. We

evaluate and monitor the stability and reliability of our various funding sources to help ensure that we have sufficient liquidity in adverse circumstances. We generally view our core deposits to be relatively stable. Secured borrowings via repurchase agreements and advances from the FHLB are also recognized as highly reliable funding sources, and we, therefore, maintain these sources primarily to meet our contingency funding needs.
To support asset growth, wholesale funding increased by $2.5 billion from $15.0 billion at December 31, 2011 to $17.5 billion at March 31, 2012. Total deposits increased $0.7 billion from $64.4 billion at December 31, 2011 to $65.1 billion at March 31, 2012.
Core deposits, which exclude brokered deposits, foreign time deposits and domestic time deposits greater than $250,000, provide us with a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. At March 31, 2012, our core deposits totaled $55.0 billion and our total loan-to-total deposit ratio was 83.5 percent.
The Bank maintains a variety of other funding sources, secured and unsecured, which management believes will be adequate to meet the Bank’s liquidity needs, including the following:
• | The Bank has secured borrowing facilities with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). As of March 31, 2012, the Bank had $5.5 billion of borrowings outstanding with the FHLB, and the Bank had a remaining combined unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB and the FRB of $21.4 billion. |
• | Our securities portfolio provides liquidity through either securities sales or repurchase agreements. Total unpledged securities increased by $1.5 billion from $17.6 billion at December 31, 2011 to $19.1 billion at March 31, 2012. |
• | The Bank has an $8.0 billion unsecured Bank Note Program, which was increased from $4.0 billion in March 2012. Available funding under the Bank Note Program was $5.2 billion at March 31, 2012. We do not have any firm commitments in place to sell securities under the Bank Note Program. |
• | In addition to the funding provided by the Bank, we raise funds at the holding company level. UnionBanCal Corporation has in place a shelf registration statement with the SEC permitting ready access to the public debt markets. As of March 31, 2012, $1.5 billion of debt or other securities were available for issuance under this shelf registration statement. We do not have any firm commitments in place to sell securities under this shelf registration statement. |
We believe that these sources, in addition to our core deposits and equity capital, provide a stable funding base. As a result, we have not historically relied on BTMU for our normal funding needs.
Our costs and ability to raise funds in the capital markets are influenced by our credit ratings. Our credit ratings could be impacted by changes in the credit ratings of BTMU and MUFG. For further information, including information about ratings agency downgrades of Japan’s credit rating and related rating downgrades for most major Japanese banks, including BTMU, see “The Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ’s and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group’s credit ratings and financial or regulatory condition could adversely affect our operations” in Part II, Item 1A.

We have three operating segments: Retail Banking Group, Corporate Banking Group and Pacific Rim Corporate Group. The Pacific Rim Corporate Group is included in “Other.” We have two reportable business segments: Retail Banking and Corporate Banking.
Unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to US GAAP. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable with those presented by other companies, and they are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be reported by our business units if they were unique economic entities.
We reflect a “market view” perspective in measuring our business segments. The market view is a measurement of our customer markets aggregated to show all revenues generated and expenses incurred from all products and services sold to those customers regardless of where product areas organizationally report. Therefore, revenues and expenses are included in both the business segment that provides the service and the business segment that manages the customer relationship. The duplicative results from this internal management accounting view are eliminated in “Reconciling Items.” The market view approach fosters cross-selling with a total profitability view of the products and services being managed.
The table that follows reflects the condensed income statements, selected average balance sheet items, and selected financial ratios, including changes from the prior year, for each of our reportable business segments. Business unit results are prepared using various management accounting methodologies to measure the performance of the individual units. Our management accounting methodologies, which are enhanced from time to time, measure segment profitability by assigning balance sheet and income statement items to each operating segment. Methodologies that are applied to the measurement of segment profitability include:
• | A funds transfer pricing system, which assigns a cost of funds or a credit for funds to assets or liabilities based on their type, maturity or repricing characteristics. During the first quarter of 2012, we refined our transfer pricing methodology for non-maturity deposits to reflect expected balance run-off and average life assumptions as well as for rate repricing expectations. |
• | An activity-based costing methodology, in which certain indirect costs, such as operations and technology expense, are allocated to the segments based on studies of billable unit costs for product or data processing. Other indirect costs, such as corporate overhead, are allocated to the segments based on internal surveys and metrics that serve as proxies for estimated usage. |
• | An expected credit loss allocation methodology, in which credit expense is charged to an operating segment based upon expected losses arising from credit risk. As a result of the methodology used in this model, differences between the provision for credit losses and credit expense in any one period could be significant. However, over an economic cycle, the cumulative provision for credit losses and credit expense for expected losses should be substantially the same. |

Retail Banking
Retail Banking provides deposit and lending products delivered through our branches and relationship managers to individuals and small businesses. Retail Banking is focused on executing a strategy that will identify targeted opportunities within the consumer and small business markets, and develop product, marketing and sales strategies to attract new customers in these identified target markets.
Retail Banking is comprised of two major divisions:
• | theCommunity Banking Division serves its customers through 347 full-service branches in California and 51 full-service branches in Oregon and Washington. Customers may also access our services 24 hours-a-day by telephone or through our website at www.unionbank.com. In addition, the branches offer automated teller and point-of-sale merchant services. |
The Community Banking Division is organized geographically and serves its customers in the following ways:
— | through banking branches and ATMs which serve consumers and businesses with checking and deposit products and services, as well as various types of consumer financing and investment services; |
— | through its call center and internet banking services, which augment its physical delivery channels by providing an array of customer transaction, bill payment and loan payment services; and |
— | through alliances with other financial institutions, the Community Banking Division offers additional products and services, such as credit cards and merchant services. |
• | theConsumer Lending Division provides the centralized origination, underwriting, processing, servicing, collection and administration for consumer assets including residential mortgages. |
During the first quarter of 2012, net income for Retail Banking decreased 6 percent compared to the same period in 2011, resulting from a 14 percent decrease in noninterest income. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to lower card processing fees, service charges on deposits accounts and other miscellaneous income.
Average asset growth for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily driven by an 8 percent growth in average loans held for investment, mainly in residential mortgages.
Average deposits increased 2 percent during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The key drivers for this increase include Retail Banking’s strategy, which continues to focus on marketing activities to attract new consumer and small business deposits, customer cross-sell, and relationship management.
Corporate Banking
Corporate Banking offers a range of financial products to both middle-market and corporate businesses headquartered throughout the U.S. Corporate Banking focuses its activities on specific specialized industries, such as power and utilities, petroleum, real estate, healthcare, equipment leasing and commercial finance as well as general corporate and middle-market lending in regional markets throughout the U.S. Corporate Banking relationship managers provide credit services including commercial loans, accounts receivable and inventory financing, project financing, trade financing and real estate financing. In addition to credit services, Corporate Banking offers its customers a range of noncredit services, which include global treasury management solutions, foreign exchange and various interest rate risk and commodity risk management products. These products are delivered through deposit managers and product specialists with significant industry expertise and experience in businesses of all sizes, including numerous vertical industry niches such as U.S. correspondent banks and certain government entities.

One of the primary strategies of our Corporate Banking business units is to target industries and companies for which we can reasonably expect to be one of a customer’s primary banks. Consistent with this strategy, Corporate Banking business units attempt to serve a large part of the targeted customers’ credit and depository needs. The Corporate Banking business units compete with other banks primarily on the basis of the quality of our relationship managers, the level of industry expertise, the delivery of quality customer service, and our reputation as a “commercial bank.” We also compete with a variety of other financial services companies as well as non-bank companies. Competitors include other major California banks, as well as regional, national and international banks. In addition, we compete with investment banks, commercial finance companies, leasing companies and insurance companies.
Corporate Banking initiatives continue to expand commercial and loan relationship strategies that include originating, underwriting and syndicating loans in core competency markets, such as in our West Coast commercial lending markets, as well as our national specialty markets, including real estate, energy, equipment leasing and commercial finance.
Corporate Banking is comprised of the following main divisions:
• | theCommercial Banking Division, which includes the following operating units: |
— | Commercial Banking, which provides commercial lending products and treasury management services to middle-market and corporate companies primarily in California, Oregon and Washington; |
— | Power and Utilities, which provides treasury management products and commercial lending products, including commercial lines of credit and project financing, to independent power producers as well as regulated utility companies; |
— | Petroleum, which provides commercial lending products, including reserve-based lines of credit, commercial lines of credit as well as treasury management products, to oil and gas companies; |
— | National Banking, which provides commercial lending and treasury management products to corporate clients on a national basis, in states outside of California, Oregon, and Washington. National Banking also targets certain defined industries, such as healthcare, entertainment, and food and beverage; and |
— | Specialized Industries, which provides commercial lending and treasury products to middle-market and corporate clients in specific industries on a national basis, including commercial finance, funds finance, environmental services and non-profits. |
• | theReal Estate Industries Division serves professional real estate investors and developers with products such as construction loans, commercial mortgages and bridge financing. Additionally, through our Community Development Finance unit, we make tax credit investments in affordable housing projects, as well as provide construction and permanent financing; |
• | theGlobal Capital Markets Division helps to serve our customers with their foreign exchange, interest rate and energy risk management needs in addition to facilitating merchant and investment banking related transactions. The division takes market risk when buying and selling securities, interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts for its own account and accepts limited market risk when providing commodity and equity derivative contracts, since a significant portion of the market risk for these products is offset with third parties. Additionally, the division’s Equipment Leasing arm provides lease financing services to corporate customers; |
• | theGlobal Treasury Management Division targets numerous industry relationship markets with deep industry and product expertise. The Global Treasury Management Division provides working capital solutions to meet deposit, investment and global treasury management services to businesses of all |

sizes. This division manages Union Bank’s web strategies for retail, small business, wealth management and commercial clients, as well as commercial product development. Effective February 1, 2012, the labor management trust services, retirement plan services and registered investment advisors services were sold to US Bank. The corresponding assets and systems for these business units are scheduled to convert during the third quarter of 2012. The client base of Global Trust Services consist of financial institutions, corporations, government agencies, unions, insurance companies, mutual funds, investment managers and non-profit organizations. Institutional custody provides both domestic and international asset portfolio safekeeping and settlement services in addition to money markets liquidity management and securities lending. Corporate Trust acts as agent or trustee for corporate and municipal debt issues, and provides escrow and project finance agent services; and |
• | theWealth Markets Divisionconsists of the following operating units: |
— | The Private Bank focuses primarily on delivering financial services to high net worth individuals with sophisticated financial needs as well as to professional service firms, foundations and endowments. Specific products and services include trust and estate services, financial planning, investment account management services, and deposit and credit products; |
— | UnionBanc Investment Services LLC (UBIS) is a subsidiary of Union Bank and is our registered broker-dealer and registered investment advisor. UBIS provides services to retail and institutional clients in several core products areas, including annuities, mutual funds, and fixed income products. Retail services are delivered through dedicated investment specialists located throughout the Bank’s geographical footprint. Institutional services are delivered through a dedicated trading desk and sales force specializing in fixed income products; and |
— | Asset Management, which consists of HighMark Capital Management, Inc., a subsidiary of Union Bank and a registered investment advisor, provides investment management and advisory services to institutional clients as well as investment advisory, administration and support services to our proprietary mutual funds, the affiliated HighMark Funds. It also provides investment management services to Union Bank with respect to most of its trust and agency clients, including corporations, pension funds and individuals. HighMark Capital Management, Inc.’s strategy is to expand distribution, to broaden its client base and to increase its assets under management. |
During the first quarter of 2012, net income for Corporate Banking increased 17 percent, compared to the same period in 2011, primarily resulting from a 6 percent increase in net interest income, a 9 percent increase in noninterest income and a 25 percent decrease in credit expense. During the first quarter of 2012, average loans held for investment increased 17 percent compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to increases in our commercial and industrial loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in our real estate construction loan portfolio.
During the first quarter of 2012, average deposits increased 12 percent compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to a 23 percent increase in noninterest bearing deposits and a 7 percent increase in interest bearing deposits.
Noninterest income increased 9 percent during the first quarter of 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to higher trading income, merchant banking fees and deposit fees, partially offset by lower trust fees and losses from private capital investments.
Other
“Other” includes the following:
• | The Pacific Rim Corporate Group, which offers a range of credit, deposit, and investment management products and services to companies headquartered in either Japan or the U.S.; |
• | the funds transfer pricing results for our entire company, which allocates to the business segments their cost of funds on all asset categories and credit for funds on all liability categories; |
34
Table of Contents
• | Corporate Treasury, which is responsible for our ALM, wholesale funding and the ALM investment and derivatives hedging portfolios. These Treasury management activities are carried out to manage the net interest rate and liquidity risks of our balance sheet and to manage those risks within the guidelines established by ALCO. For additional discussion regarding these risk management activities, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q; |
• | the adjustment between the credit expense (income) under the expected credit loss allocation methodology and (reversal of) provision for credit losses under US GAAP; |
• | the residual costs of support groups; |
• | corporate activities that are not directly attributable to one of the two business segments. Included in this category are certain other items such as the results of operations of certain subsidiaries of UnionBanCal, and the elimination of the fully taxable-equivalent basis amount; |
• | goodwill, intangible assets, and related amortization/accretion associated with our privatization transaction; |
• | the FDIC covered assets; and |
• | the adjustment between the tax expense calculated using the adjusted statutory tax rate of 39.29 percent and our consolidated effective tax rate. |
The decrease in net income of $57 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011 is primarily due to the following factors:
• | a decrease in credit income of $114 million was due to the growth in the loan portfolio along with a moderating pace of the credit quality improvement of our loan portfolio starting in the fourth quarter of 2011. Credit income of $46 million in the first quarter of 2012 was due to the difference between the $1 million reversal of provision for loan losses calculated under our US GAAP methodology and the $45 million in expected losses for the reportable business segments, which utilizes the expected credit loss allocation methodology. This compares to a credit income of $160 million in the first quarter of 2011; |
• | noninterest income decreased $41 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011. This decrease was due to lower gains on the sales of ALM investment securities and a decrease in indemnification asset accretion, driven by better than expected FDIC covered loan performance; and |
• | noninterest expense decreased $7 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011. |
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
A discussion of our market risk exposure is incorporated by reference to Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q under the caption “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and to Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q under the caption “Risk Factors.”

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of UnionBanCal Corporation, its subsidiaries, and its consolidated VIEs (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, they do not include all of the disclosures necessary for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the first quarter of 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results anticipated for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in UnionBanCal Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (2011 Form 10-K).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP also requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Although such estimates contemplate current conditions and management’s expectations of how they may change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. This could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition in the near term. Significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include, but are not limited to, the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities (Note 2), allowance for credit losses (Note 3), purchased credit-impaired loans (Note 3), annual goodwill impairment analysis, pension accounting (Note 5), valuing financial instruments (Note 8), and income taxes.
UnionBanCal Corporation is a financial holding company and commercial bank holding company whose major subsidiary, Union Bank, N.A. (the Bank), is a commercial bank. The Company provides a wide range of financial services to consumers, small businesses, middle-market companies and major corporations, primarily in California, Oregon, Washington, Texas, and New York, as well as nationally and internationally.

At March 31, 2012, the Company did not have the intent to sell temporarily impaired securities before a recovery of the amortized cost, which may be at maturity. The Company also believes that it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities prior to recovery of amortized cost.
Privately issued residential mortgage-backed securities are issued by financial institutions with no guarantee from government sponsored entities. These securities are collateralized by residential mortgage loans and may be prepaid at par prior to maturity. The securities are primarily rated investment grade. The unrealized losses on non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities resulted from declining credit

quality of underlying collateral and additional credit spread widening since purchase. The Company estimated loss projections for each security by assessing the loans collateralizing each security. The Company estimates the portion of loss attributable to credit based on the expected cash flows of the underlying collateral using estimates of current key assumptions, such as default rates, loss severity and prepayment rates. Based on this assessment of expected credit losses of each security, impairment recognized during the first quarter of 2012 was not significant. With respect to the remaining portfolio, at March 31, 2012, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.
The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities available for sale by contractual maturity are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

Securities Held to Maturity
The securities held to maturity primarily consist of CLOs and mortgage-backed securities, of which $155 million were transferred from available for sale during the first quarter of 2012. Management has asserted the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.

For securities held to maturity, the amount recognized in OCI primarily reflects the unrealized loss at date of transfer to the held to maturity classification, net of amortization, as well as other-than-temporary impairment amounts related to non-credit factors recognized subsequent to transfer, net of amortization, while the amount not recognized in OCI primarily reflects any other-than-temporary impairment related to credit factors after such transfer. Amortized cost is defined as the original purchase cost, plus or minus any accretion or amortization of a purchase discount or premium, less principal payments and any impairment previously recognized in earnings.
The Company’s securities held to maturity with a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are shown below, separately for periods less than 12 months and 12 months or more.

At March 31, 2012, the Company did not have the intent to sell temporarily impaired securities before a recovery of the amortized cost, which may be at maturity. The Company also believes that it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities prior to recovery of amortized cost.
The Company’s CLOs consist of Cash Flow CLOs. A Cash Flow CLO is a structured finance product that securitizes a diversified pool of loan assets into multiple classes of notes. Cash Flow CLOs pay the note holders through the receipt of interest and principal repayments from the underlying loans unlike other types of CLOs that pay note holders through the trading and sale of underlying collateral. Unrealized losses typically arise from widening credit spreads and credit quality of the underlying collateral. Cash flow analysis of the underlying collateral provides an estimate of other-than-temporary impairment, which is performed quarterly when the fair value of a security is lower than its amortized cost. Based on the analysis performed as of March 31, 2012, no other-than-temporary impairment was recorded.

Securities Pledged as Collateral
Transactions involving purchases of securities under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements or reverse repos) or sales of securities under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements or repos) are accounted for as collateralized financings except where the Company does not have an agreement to sell (or purchase) the same or substantially the same securities before maturity at a fixed or determinable price. The Company’s policy is to obtain possession of collateral with a market value equal to or in excess of the principal amount loaned under resale agreements. Collateral is valued daily, and the Company may require counterparties to deposit additional collateral or return collateral pledged, when appropriate.
The Company separately identifies in the consolidated balance sheets, securities pledged as collateral in secured borrowings and other arrangements when the secured party can sell or repledge the securities. If the secured party cannot resell or repledge the securities that have been placed as collateral, those securities are not separately identified. At March 31, 2012, the Company had $4.6 billion of securities available for sale pledged as collateral where the secured party cannot resell or repledge such securities. These available for sale securities have been pledged to secure borrowings ($1.0 billion), to support unrealized losses on derivative transactions reported in trading liabilities ($0.5 billion) and to secure public and trust deposits ($3.1 billion).
At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company accepted securities as collateral that it is permitted by contract to sell or repledge of $8 million ($6 million of which has been repledged to cover secured borrowings and short sales) and $12 million (all of which has been repledged to secure public agency or bankruptcy deposits and to cover short sales), respectively. These securities were received as collateral for secured lending.

Loans Acquired in Business Combinations
The Company evaluated loans acquired in the Frontier and Tamalpais transactions in accordance with accounting guidance related to loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality as of the acquisition date. Management elected to account for all acquired loans, except for revolving lines of credit, within the scope of the accounting guidance related to loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality.
The acquired loans are referred to as “FDIC covered loans” as the Bank will be reimbursed for a substantial portion of any future losses on them under the terms of the FDIC loss share agreements. As of acquisition dates, the estimated fair value of the purchased credit-impaired loan portfolios of Frontier and Tamalpais subject to the loss share agreements represents the present value of expected cash flows from the portfolio. The difference between the undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows is the nonaccretable difference. The nonaccretable difference recorded at the acquisition date represents the estimated credit losses in the acquired loan portfolios at the acquisition date.
The accretable yield for purchased credit-impaired loans for the first quarters of 2012 and 2011 was as follows:
For the Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||

The carrying amount of other acquired loans totaled $46 million and $47 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Acquired loans were recorded at fair value at acquisition date, factoring in credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for loan losses was not carried over or recorded as of the respective acquisition dates. The acquired loans are subject to the Bank’s internal credit review. When credit deterioration is noted subsequent to the respective acquisition dates, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings, with a partial offset reflecting the increase to the FDIC indemnification asset for FDIC covered loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses (defined as both the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for off-balance sheet commitment losses) to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio as well as for off-balance sheet commitments. The allowance for credit losses is based on our regular, quarterly assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio and unused commitments to provide financing. The Company’s methodology for measuring the appropriate level of the allowances relies on several key elements, which include the formula allowance, the specific allowance for impaired loans, the unallocated allowance and the allowance for off-balance sheet commitments.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of changes in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segments:

Credit Quality Indicators
Management analyzes the Company’s loan portfolios by applying specific monitoring policies and procedures that vary according to the relative risk profile and other characteristics within the various loan portfolios. For further information related to the credit quality indicators the Company uses to monitor the portfolio, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.
The following tables summarize the loans in the commercial portfolio segment monitored for credit quality based on internal ratings, excluding $771 million and $864 million covered by FDIC loss share agreements, at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The amounts presented reflect unpaid principal balances less partial charge-offs.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its consumer segment based primarily on payment status. The following tables summarize the loans in the consumer portfolio segment, which excludes $78 million and $85 million of loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively:

The Company also monitors the credit quality for substantially all of its consumer portfolio segment using credit scores provided by Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) and refreshed weighted average loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. FICO credit scores are refreshed at least quarterly to monitor the quality of the portfolio. Refreshed LTV measures the carrying amount of the loan as a percentage of the estimated current value of the property securing the loan. Home equity loans are evaluated using combined LTV, which measures the carrying amount of the combined loans that have liens against the property (including unused amounts for home equity line products) as a percentage of the estimated current value of the property securing the loans. The LTV ratios are refreshed on a quarterly basis, using the most recent Core Logic home pricing index (HPI) data available for the property location.
The following tables summarize the loans in the consumer portfolio segment monitored for credit quality based on refreshed FICO scores and refreshed LTV ratios at March 31, 2012. These tables exclude loans serviced by third-parties and loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, as discussed above. The amounts presented reflect unpaid principal balances less partial charge-offs.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
The following table provides a summary of the Company’s troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The summary includes those TDRs that are on nonaccrual status and those that continue to accrue interest. The Company had $56 million in commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers with loan modifications classified as TDRs as of March 31, 2012.

For the first quarter of 2012, TDR modifications in the commercial portfolio segment were primarily composed of interest rate changes, maturity extensions, principal paydowns, covenant waivers and payment deferrals, or some combination thereof. In the consumer portfolio segment, substantially all of the modifications were composed of interest rate reductions and maturity extensions. There were no charge-offs related to these TDR loan modifications in the first quarter of 2012. For the commercial and consumer portfolio segments, the allowance for loan losses for TDRs is measured on an individual loan basis or in pools with similar risk characteristics.

For the consumer portfolio, historical payment defaults and the propensity to redefault are some of the factors considered when determining the allowance for loan losses for situations where impairment is measured using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The Company also may use the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, to measure impairment.
Loan Impairment
The Company’s impaired loans generally include larger commercial and industrial, construction, commercial mortgage loans, and TDRs where it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When the value of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company records an impairment allowance.

Note 4—Variable Interest Entities and Other Investments
The Company is involved in various structures that are considered to be VIEs. Generally, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure where the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk in the entity to allow the entity to independently finance its activities, lack the power to direct the significant activities of the entity through voting or similar rights, or do not have an obligation to absorb the entity’s losses or the right to receive the entity’s returns. The Company’s investments in VIEs primarily consist of equity investments in low income housing credit (LIHC) structures and renewable energy projects, which are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits, and private capital investments. For further information related to the Company’s consolidated VIEs and those that were not consolidated, see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.
Consolidated VIEs
At March 31, 2012, assets of $286 million and liabilities of $9 million were consolidated by the Company on its consolidated balance sheet related to two LIHC investment fund structures because the Company sponsors, manages and syndicates the funds. The assets are included in other assets as well as interest bearing deposits in banks, the liabilities are primarily included in long-term debt, and third-party investor interests are included in stockholder’s equity as noncontrolling interests. Neither creditors nor equity investors in the LIHC investments have any recourse to the general credit of the Company, and the Company’s creditors do not have any recourse to the assets of the consolidated LIHC investments.
For the first quarters of 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $7 million and $6 million of expenses related to its consolidated VIEs, respectively. These expenses are included in other noninterest expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Unconsolidated VIEs in which the Company has a Variable Interest
The following table presents the Company’s carrying amounts related to the unconsolidated VIEs and location on the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2012. The table also presents the Company’s maximum exposure to loss resulting from its involvement with these VIEs. The maximum exposure to loss represents the carrying amount of the Company’s involvement plus any legally binding unfunded commitments in the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIEs become worthless.

Note 8—Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Valuation Methodologies
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The Company has an established and documented process for determining fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. When available, quoted market prices are used to determine fair value. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced parameters, such as yield curves, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, commodity prices, and implied volatilities. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure the financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality and that consider the Company’s creditworthiness in determining the fair value of its trading liabilities. For further information related to the valuation methodologies used for certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.
Fair Value Hierarchy
In determining fair value, the Company maximizes the use of observable market inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market-derived or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimate about market data. Based on the observability of the significant inputs used, the Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with the three-level hierarchy as defined by US GAAP. This hierarchy is based on the quality, observability, and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. For further information related to the fair value hierarchy, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.
Valuation Processes
The Company has established a Valuation Committee (VC) to oversee its valuation framework for measuring fair value and to establish valuation policies and procedures. The VC’s responsibilities include reviewing and approving all fair value measurements and categorizations within the fair value hierarchy and monitoring the use of pricing sources, mark-to-model valuations, dealer quotes, and other valuation processes. The VC reports to the Company’s Risk & Capital Committee and meets at least quarterly.

The following tables present a reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the first quarters of 2012 and 2011. Level 3 available for sale securities at March 31, 2012 and 2011 primarily consist of tax exempt community development bonds. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of Level 1, 2 and 3 as of the end of a reporting period. For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company, based on its analysis, transferred its U.S Treasury and U.S government sponsored agency securities from Level 1 to Level 2 and certain of its derivative contracts from Level 2 to Level 3.

Fair Value Measurement on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the first quarters of 2012 and 2011 that were still held on the consolidated balance sheet as of the respective periods ended, the following tables present the fair value of such financial instruments by the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each fair value adjustment:

Loans include individually impaired loans that are measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral or the fair value of the loan. The fair value of impaired loans was determined based on appraised values of the underlying collateral or market pricing for the loan, adjusted for management judgment.
Other assets consist of private equity investments and OREO. The fair value of OREO was primarily based on independent appraisals.

Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging
The Company is a party to certain derivative and other financial instruments that are entered into for the purpose of trading, meeting the needs of customers, and changing the impact on the Company’s operating results due to market fluctuations in currency rates, interest rates, or commodity prices.
Credit and market risks are inherent in derivative instruments. Credit risk is defined as the possibility that a loss may occur from the failure of another party to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract, which exceeds the value of the existing collateral, if any. The Company utilizes master netting and collateral support annex (CSA) agreements in order to reduce its exposure to credit risk. Additionally, the Company considers the potential loss in the event of counterparty default in estimating the fair value amount of the derivative instrument. Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from an adverse change in the market value of financial instruments caused by fluctuations in market prices or rates.
Derivatives are primarily used to manage exposure to interest rate, commodity and foreign currency risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Company designates derivative instruments as those used for hedge accounting purposes, and those for trading or economic hedge purposes. All derivative instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.
The tables below present the notional amounts, and the location and fair value amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments reported on the consolidated balance sheet, segregated between derivative instruments designated and qualifying as hedging instruments and all other derivative instruments as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Asset and liability values are presented gross, excluding the impact of legally enforceable master netting and CSA agreements.

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company to maintain a specified credit rating. If the Company’s credit rating was to fall below the specified rating, the counterparties to these derivative instruments could terminate the contract and demand immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization for those derivative instruments in net liability positions. At March 31, 2012, the aggregate fair value (including net interest payable and receivable) of all derivative instruments with credit-risk mitigated contingent features that are in a liability position was $7 million. At March 31, 2012, the Company had not pledged any collateral to secure these obligations. If all of the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on March 31, 2012, the Company would have been required to provide collateral of $7 million to settle these contracts.
Derivatives Used in Asset and Liability Management
The Company uses interest rate derivatives to manage the financial impact on the Company from changes in market interest rates. These instruments are used to manage interest rate risk relating to specified groups of assets and liabilities, primarily LIBOR-based commercial loans, certificates of deposit, borrowings, and future debt issuances. Derivatives are typically designated as fair value or cash flow hedges or economic hedge derivatives for those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. In the first quarters of 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have fair value hedges. The significant hedging strategies of the Company are described below.
Cash Flow Hedges
Hedging Strategies for Variable Rate Loans, Borrowings and Certificates of Deposit and Other Time Deposits
The Company engages in several types of cash flow hedging strategies related to forecasted future interest payments, with the hedged risk being the changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark rate (i.e., U.S. dollar LIBOR). In these strategies, the hedging instruments are matched with groups of similar variable rate instruments such that the reset tenor of the variable rate instruments and that of the hedging instrument are identical at inception. Cash flow hedging instruments currently being utilized include purchased caps and interest rate swaps. At March 31, 2012, the weighted average remaining life of the currently active cash flow hedges was approximately 2.0 years.
The Company used purchased interest rate caps with a notional amount of $1.0 billion to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate on LIBOR indexed borrowings. Payments received under the cap contract offset the increase in borrowing interest expense if the relevant LIBOR index rises above the cap’s strike rate.

Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging (Continued)
The Company used interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $1.2 billion to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate on LIBOR indexed other borrowings and long-term debt. Payments received (or paid) under the swap contract offset fluctuations in other borrowings and long-term debt interest expense caused by changes in the relevant LIBOR index.
The Company used purchased interest rate caps with a notional amount of $3.0 billion to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate component of forecasted issuances of short-term, fixed rate certificates of deposit (CDs). Net payments to be received under the cap contract offset increases in interest expense if the relevant LIBOR index rises above the cap’s strike rate.
The Company used interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $5.0 billion to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate on LIBOR indexed loans. Payments received (or paid) under the swap contract offset fluctuations in interest income on loans caused by changes in the relevant LIBOR index.
Hedging transactions are structured at inception so that the notional amounts of the hedging instruments are matched to an equal principal amount of loans, CDs, or borrowings, the index and repricing frequencies of the hedging instruments match those of the loans, CDs, or borrowings and the period in which the designated hedged cash flows occurs is equal to the term of the hedge instruments. As such, most of the ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship results from the mismatch between the timing of reset dates on the hedging instruments versus those of the loans, CDs, or borrowings.
For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows are recognized in net interest income. Gains and losses representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in earnings in the period in which they arise. At March 31, 2012, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $16 million of income from accumulated other comprehensive income to net interest income during the twelve months ending March 31, 2013. This amount could differ from amounts actually realized due to changes in interest rates and the addition of other hedges subsequent to March 31, 2012.

Trading Derivatives
Derivative instruments classified as trading include both derivatives entered into for the Company’s own account and as an accommodation for customers. Trading derivatives are included in trading assets or trading liabilities with changes in fair value reflected in income from trading account activities. The majority of the Company’s derivative transactions for customers were essentially offset by contracts with third parties that reduce or eliminate market risk exposures.
The Company offers market-linked certificates of deposit, which allow the client to earn the higher of either a minimum fixed rate of interest or a return tied to either equity, commodity or currency indices. The Company hedges its exposure to the embedded derivative contained in market-linked CDs with a perfectly matched over-the-counter option. Both the embedded derivative and hedge options are recorded at fair value with the realized and unrealized changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income within trading account activities.

Note 11—Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
The following table summarizes the Company’s commitments:
(Dollars in millions) | March 31, 2012 | |||
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 29,599 | ||
Standby & commercial letters of credit | 5,492 | |||
Other commitments | 285 |
Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer provided there are no violations of any condition established in the contract. Commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require maintenance of compensatory balances. Since many of the commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements.
Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, while commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate foreign or domestic trade transactions. Additionally, the Company enters into risk participations in bankers’ acceptances wherein a fee is received to guarantee a portion of the credit risk on an acceptance of another bank. The majority of these types of commitments have terms of one year or less. At March 31, 2012, the carrying amount of the Company’s risk participations in bankers’ acceptances and standby and commercial letters of credit totaled $4 million. Estimated exposure to loss related to these commitments is covered by the allowance for losses on off-balance sheet commitments. The carrying amount of the standby and commercial letters of credit and the allowance for losses on off-balance sheet commitments are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
The credit risk involved in issuing loan commitments and standby and commercial letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. Collateral may be obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.
Other commitments include commitments to fund principal investments, LIHC investments, and CLO and other securities.
Principal investments include direct investments in private and public companies and indirect investments in private equity funds. The Company issues commitments to provide equity and mezzanine capital financing to private and public companies through either direct investments in specific companies

Note 11—Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees (Continued)
or through investment funds and partnerships. The timing of future cash requirements to fund such commitments is generally dependent on the investment cycle. This cycle, the period over which privately-held companies are funded by private equity investors and ultimately sold, merged, or taken public through an initial offering, can vary based on overall market conditions as well as the nature and type of industry in which the companies operate.
The Company invests in either guaranteed or unguaranteed LIHC investments. The guaranteed LIHC investments carry a minimum rate of return guarantee by a creditworthy entity. The unguaranteed LIHC investments carry partial guarantees covering the timely completion of projects, availability of tax credits and operating deficit thresholds from the issuer. For these LIHC investments, the Company has committed to provide additional funding as stipulated by its investment participation.
The Company is a fund manager for limited liability companies issuing LIHC investments. LIHC investments provide tax benefits to investors in the form of tax deductions from operating losses and tax credits. To facilitate the sale of these LIHC investments, the Company guarantees a minimum rate of return throughout the investment term of over a twelve-year weighted average period. Additionally, the Company receives guarantees, which include the timely completion of projects, availability of tax credits and operating deficit thresholds, from the limited liability partnerships/corporations issuing the LIHC investments that reduce the Company’s ultimate exposure to loss. As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss under these guarantees was limited to a return of investor capital and minimum investment yield, or $182 million. The risk that the Company would be required to pay investors for a yield deficiency is low, based on the continued satisfactory performance of the underlying properties. At March 31, 2012, the Company had a reserve of $7 million recorded related to these guarantees, which represents the remaining unamortized fair value of the guarantee fees that were recognized at inception. For information on the Company’s LIHC investments that were consolidated, refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
The Company conducts securities lending transactions for institutional customers as a fully disclosed agent. At times, securities lending indemnifications are issued to guarantee that a security lending customer will be made whole in the event the borrower does not return the security subject to the lending agreement and collateral held is insufficient to cover the market value of the security. All lending transactions are collateralized, primarily by cash. The amount of securities lent with indemnifications was $231 million at March 31, 2012, and the market value of the associated collateral was $239 million. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had no exposure that would require it to pay under this securities lending indemnification, since the collateral market value exceeded the securities lent.
The Company occasionally enters into financial guarantee contracts where a premium is received from another financial institution counterparty to guarantee a portion of the credit risk on interest rate swap contracts entered into between the financial institution and its customer. The Company becomes liable to pay the financial institution only if the financial institution is unable to collect amounts owed to them by their customer. As of March 31, 2012, the current exposure to loss under these contracts totaled $28 million, and the maximum potential exposure to loss in the future was estimated at $39 million.
The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. Liabilities for losses from legal actions are recorded when they are determined to be both probable in their occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that the disposition of all claims currently pending, including potential losses from claims that may exceed the liabilities recorded, and claims for loss contingencies that are considered reasonably possible to occur, will not have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, operating results or liquidity.

Table of Contents
The Company has three operating segments: Retail Banking Group, Corporate Banking Group and Pacific Rim Corporate Group. The Pacific Rim Corporate Group is included in “Other.” The Company has two reportable business segments: Retail Banking and Corporate Banking.
• | Retail Banking offers a range of banking products and services, primarily to individuals and small businesses, delivered generally through a network of branches and ATMs located in the western U.S. and telephone and internet access 24-hours-a-day. These products offered include mortgages, home equity lines of credit, consumer and commercial loans, and deposit accounts. |
• | Corporate Banking provides credit, depository and cash management services, investment and risk management products to businesses, individuals and target specialty niches. Services include commercial and project finance loans, real estate financing, asset-based financing, trade finance and letters of credit, lease financing, customized cash management services and capital markets products, as well as trust, private banking, investment and asset management services for individuals and institutions. |
“Other” is comprised of certain subsidiaries of UnionBanCal Corporation; the transfer pricing center; the amount of the provision for credit losses over/(under) the expected loss for the period; the residual costs of support groups; goodwill, intangible assets, and the related amortization/accretion associated with the Company’s privatization transaction; the elimination of the fully taxable-equivalent basis amount; and the difference between the marginal tax rate and the consolidated effective tax rate. In addition, “Other” includes Pacific Rim Corporate Group, which offers a range of credit, deposit, and investment management products and services to companies headquartered in either Japan or the U.S., Corporate Treasury, which is responsible for Asset-Liability Management (ALM), wholesale funding, and the ALM investment securities and derivatives hedging portfolios, and the FDIC covered assets.
The information, set forth in the tables that follow, is prepared using various management accounting methodologies to measure the performance of the individual segments. Unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to US GAAP. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable with those presented by other companies, and they are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be reported by our business units if they were unique economic entities. The management reporting accounting methodologies, which are enhanced from time to time, measure segment profitability by assigning balance sheet and income statement items to each operating segment. Methodologies that are applied to the measurement of segment profitability include:
• | A funds transfer pricing system, which assigns a cost of funds or a credit for funds to assets or liabilities based on their type, maturity or repricing characteristics. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company refined our transfer pricing methodology for non-maturity deposits to reflect expected balance run-off and average life assumptions as well as for rate repricing expectations. |
• | An activity-based costing methodology, in which certain indirect costs, such as operations and technology expense, are allocated to the segments based on studies of billable unit costs for product or data processing. Other indirect costs, such as corporate overhead, are allocated to the segments based on internal surveys and metrics that serve as proxies for estimated usage. |
• | An expected credit loss allocation methodology, in which credit expense is charged to an operating segment based upon expected losses arising from credit risk. As a result of the methodology used in this model, differences between the provision for credit losses and credit expense in any one period could be significant. However, over an economic cycle, the cumulative provision for credit losses and credit expense for expected losses should be substantially the same. |

Table of Contents
Note 12—Business Segments (Continued)
The Company reflects a “market view” perspective in measuring the business segments. The market view is a measurement of customer markets aggregated to show all revenues generated and expenses incurred from all products and services sold to those customers regardless of where product areas organizationally report. Therefore, revenues and expenses are included in both the business segment that provides the service and the business segment that manages the customer relationship. The duplicative results from this internal management accounting view are eliminated in “Reconciling Items.”
The reportable business segment results for prior periods have been adjusted to reflect changes in the transfer pricing and overhead methodologies that have occurred.

For a discussion of risk factors relating to our business, please refer to Item 1A of Part I of our 2011 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, in addition to the following information.
Industry Factors
The effects of changes or increases in, or supervisory enforcement of, banking or other laws and regulations or governmental fiscal or monetary policies could adversely affect us
We are subject to significant federal and state banking regulation and supervision, which is primarily for the benefit and protection of our customers and the Federal Deposit Insurance Fund and not for the benefit of investors in our securities. In the past, our business has been materially affected by these regulations. This will continue and likely intensify in the future. Laws, regulations or policies, including accounting standards and interpretations, currently affecting us and our subsidiaries may change at any time. Regulatory authorities may also change their interpretation of these statutes and regulations. Therefore, our business may be adversely affected by changes in laws, regulations, policies or interpretations or regulatory approaches to compliance and enforcement, as well as by supervisory action or criminal proceedings taken as a result of noncompliance which could result in the imposition of significant civil money penalties or fines. Changes in laws and regulations may also increase our expenses by imposing additional supervision, fees, taxes or restrictions on our operations. Compliance with laws and regulations, especially new laws and regulations, increases our expenses and diverts management attention from our business operations.
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act. This important legislation has affected U.S. financial institutions, including UnionBanCal Corporation and Union Bank, in many ways, some of which have increased, or may increase in the future, the cost of doing business and present other challenges to the financial services industry. Due to our size, we will be designated as “systemically significant” to the financial health of the U.S. economy and, as a result, will be subject to additional regulations. Many of the law’s provisions are in the process of being implemented by rules and regulations of the federal banking agencies, the scope and impact of which cannot yet be fully determined. The law contains many provisions which may have particular relevance to the business of UnionBanCal Corporation and Union Bank. The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the creation of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, which will have direct supervision and examination authority over banks with more than $10 billion in assets, including us. While the full effect of these provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act on Union Bank cannot be predicted at this time, they may result in adjustments to our FDIC deposit insurance premiums, increased capital and liquidity requirements, increased supervision, increased regulatory and compliance risks and costs and other operational costs and expenses, reduced fee-based revenues and restrictions on some aspects of our operations, and increased interest expense on our demand deposits, some or all of which may be material.

The Dodd-Frank Act will have a significant impact on our Global Capital Markets activities due to enhanced oversight of derivatives and swap activities by multiple regulatory agencies (the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission and bank regulators). The Dodd-Frank Act’s Volcker Rule will require reporting of quantitative measures and the establishment of a compliance regime covering capital markets and principal risk-taking activities. The Federal Reserve Board has confirmed that financial institutions will have until July 21, 2014 to conform to the restrictions on proprietary trading activities and on hedge fund and private equity fund activities and investments set forth in the Volcker Rule. See “Supervision and Regulation” in Item 1 of our 2011 Form 10-K for additional information.
Proposals to reform the housing finance market in the U.S. could also significantly affect our business. These proposals, among other things, consider winding down the Government Sponsored Entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (GSEs) and reducing or eliminating over time the role of the GSEs in guaranteeing mortgages and providing funding for mortgage loans, as well as the implementation of reforms relating to borrowers, lenders, and investors in the mortgage market, including reducing the maximum size of a loan that the GSEs can guarantee, phasing in a minimum down payment requirement for borrowers, improving underwriting standards, and increasing accountability and transparency in the securitization process. While the specific nature of these reforms and their impact on the financial services industry in general, and on Union Bank in particular, is uncertain at this time, such reforms, if enacted, are likely to have a substantial impact on the mortgage market and could potentially reduce our income from mortgage originations by increasing mortgage costs or lowering originations. The GSE reforms could also reduce real estate prices, which could reduce the value of collateral securing outstanding mortgage loans. This reduction of collateral value could negatively impact the value or perceived collectability of these mortgage loans and may increase our allowance for loan losses. Such reforms may also include changes to the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which could adversely affect a significant source of term funding for lending activities by the banking industry, including Union Bank. These reforms may also result in higher interest rates on residential mortgage loans, thereby reducing demand which could have an adverse impact on our residential mortgage lending business.
President Obama’s proposed 2012 U.S. budget included a “Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee” that would apply to banks with greater than $50 billion in assets. This fee is intended to recover taxpayer funds provided to U.S. financial institutions through the U.S. Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). On December 30, 2011, the U.S. Treasury announced its proposed rule to establish an assessment fee on institutions with greater than $50 billion in assets to fund the Office of Financial Research. Although we did not receive, and were not eligible to receive, direct TARP investment from the U.S. Treasury, as we have greater than $50 billion in assets, under the proposed rule we would be subject to this fee. Therefore, our costs will likely increase if this fee is enacted.
International laws, regulations and policies affecting us, our subsidiaries and the business we conduct may change at any time and affect our business opportunities and competitiveness in these jurisdictions. Due to our ownership by BTMU, laws, regulations, policies, fines and other supervisory actions adopted or enforced by the Government of Japan and the Federal Reserve Board may adversely affect our activities and investments and those of our subsidiaries in the future. In addition to changes in required capital resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act, the Basel Committee published in December 2010 guidelines for the Basel III global regulatory framework for capital and liquidity, including calibration for increased capital requirements approved by the G20 leadership in November 2010. Current U.S. regulatory leverage ratio requirements are more stringent than those proposed by Basel III, which will be further assessed prior to finalization. On December 20, 2011, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System announced a proposed rule to implement the enhanced prudential standards required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The proposed enhanced prudential standards, which will apply to us, include increased capital, liquidity and leverage standards as well as enhanced risk management and governance. New liquidity standards are expected to be adopted by U.S. bank regulatory agencies with some modifications. These new liquidity standards could require that we raise and maintain additional liquidity. While the ultimate implementation of these proposals in the U.S. is subject to the discretion of the U.S. bank regulators, these proposals, if

adopted, could restrict our ability to grow during favorable market conditions or require us to raise additional capital and liquidity. As a result, our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects could be adversely affected. Refer to “Supervision and Regulation—Basel Committee Capital Standards” in Item 1 of our 2011 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Basel Committee capital standards.
We maintain systems and procedures designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations. However, some legal/regulatory frameworks provide for the imposition of criminal or civil penalties (which can be substantial) for noncompliance. In some cases, liability may attach even if the noncompliance was inadvertent or unintentional and even if compliance systems and procedures were in place at the time. There may be other negative consequences from a finding of noncompliance, including restrictions on certain activities and damage to our reputation.
Additionally, our business is affected significantly by the fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S. federal government and its agencies. We are particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve Board, which regulates the supply of money and credit in the U.S. Under the Dodd-Frank Act and a long-standing policy of the Federal Reserve Board, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength for its subsidiary banks. As a result of that policy, we may be required to commit financial and other resources to our subsidiary bank in circumstances where we might not otherwise do so. Among the instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve Board are (a) conducting open market operations in U.S. Government securities, (b) changing the discount rates on borrowings by depository institutions and the federal funds rate, and (c) imposing or changing reserve requirements against certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates. These methods are used in varying degrees and combinations to directly affect the availability of bank loans and deposits, as well as the interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The policies of the Federal Reserve Board may have a material effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Refer to “Supervision and Regulation” in Item 1 of our 2011 Form 10-K for discussion of certain existing and proposed laws and regulations that may affect our business.
Company Factors
Adverse California economic conditions could adversely affect our business
The government of the State of California currently faces economic and fiscal challenges, the long-term impact of which on the State’s economy cannot be predicted with any certainty. Economic conditions in California are subject to various challenges at this time, including significant deterioration in the residential real estate sector and the California state government’s budgetary and fiscal difficulties. California continues to have a high unemployment rate. Also, California markets have experienced among the worst property value declines in the U.S. Recently, California energy markets have experienced substantial increases in energy prices which, if such increases continue or intensify, could have negative consequences for the California economy.
For the past several years, the State government of California has experienced budget shortfalls or deficits which have led to protracted negotiations between the Governor and the State Legislature over how to address the budget gap. This challenging situation is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. In addition, municipalities and other governmental units within California have been experiencing budgetary difficulties. Concerns also have arisen regarding the outlook for the State of California’s governmental obligations, as well as those of California municipalities and other governmental units.
A substantial majority of our assets, deposits and interest and fee income is generated in California. As a result, poor economic conditions in California may cause us to incur losses associated with higher default rates and decreased collateral values in our loan portfolio. If the budgetary and fiscal difficulties of the California State government and California municipalities and other governmental units continue or

economic conditions in California decline further, we expect that our level of problem assets could increase and our prospects for growth could be impaired.
The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ’s and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group’s credit ratings and financial or regulatory condition could adversely affect our operations
Adverse changes to our credit ratings, reputation or creditworthiness could have a negative effect on our operations. We generally fund our operations independently of BTMU and MUFG and believe our business is not necessarily closely related to the business or outlook of BTMU or MUFG. However, if BTMU and MUFG’s credit ratings or financial condition or prospects were to decline, this could adversely affect our credit rating or harm our reputation or perceived creditworthiness.
On April 26, 2011, Standard and Poor’s, while affirming its long-term sovereign credit rating on Japanese government debt, changed its outlook to negative from stable citing concerns about anticipated increases in Japanese government debt due to reconstruction costs in the aftermath of the large earthquake and tsunami and lack of plans to deal with such increases. In August 2011, Moody’s downgraded Japan’s credit rating one step to “Aa3”, in line with Standard & Poor’s rating, and announced related ratings downgrades for most major Japanese banks, including BTMU. Rating agency Fitch lowered its outlook for Japan to negative from stable and warned of a possible downgrade of Japan’s sovereign credit rating.
At this time, we cannot predict further actions, if any, which the rating agencies may take regarding the Government of Japan, MUFG or BTMU, nor the ultimate effect of these developments on our credit rating.
BTMU and MUFG are also subject to regulatory oversight, review and supervisory action (which can include fines or penalties) by Japanese and U.S. regulatory authorities. Our business operations and expansion plans could be negatively affected by regulatory concerns or supervisory action in the U.S. and in Japan against BTMU or MUFG.
