Operating (Managed) Basis or Operating Earnings:In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported basis, management looks at results on an “operating basis”, which is a non-GAAP measure. The definition of operating basis starts with the reported U.S. GAAP results. In the case of the Investment Bank, the operating basis includes the reclassification of net interest income related to trading activities to Trading Revenue. In the case of Chase Financial Services and Chase Cardmember Services, “operating” or “managed” basis excludes the impact of credit card securitizations. Operating basis excludes the Litigation Reserve and Merger Costs, as management believes these items are not part of the Firm’s normal daily business operations and, therefore, not indicative of trends, and also do not provide meaningful comparisons with other periods.

Overhead Ratio:Noninterest expense as a percentage of revenue before provision for credit losses.
Reported Basis:Financial statements prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The reported basis includes the impact of credit card securitizations.

Segment Results:All periods are on a comparable basis, although restatements may occur in future periods to reflect further alignment of management accounting policies or changes in organizational structures between businesses.

Tangible Shareholder Value Added:SVA less the impact of goodwill on operating earnings and capital charges.
