maturity under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310-20, Nonrefundable fees and other costs (formerly known as “SFAS 91”), from the prepayment method (also referred to as the
retrospective method) to the contractual method. All prior periods presented have been updated to reflect this change in accounting method.

3 Regulatory capital ratios are preliminary. Under the applicable bank regulatory rules, the Corporation is not required to and, accordingly, will not restate previously-filed capital ratios in connection with
the change in accounting method related to certain debt securities. The cumulative impact of this change would have resulted in an insignificant pro forma change of the Corporation's capital ratios.
Common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital, risk-weighted assets (RWA) and CET1 ratio as shown on a fully phased-in basis are non-GAAP financial measures. For important presentation information, see slide
27. For a reconciliation of CET1 transition to fully phased-in, see slide 24.
4 Prior to the fourth quarter of 2015, Bank of America was required to report regulatory capital using the Standardized approach. In connection with its exit from parallel run in the fourth quarter of 2015,
Bank of America began to report regulatory capital ratios under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The approach that yields the lower ratio is used to assess capital adequacy.
5 Basel 3 fully phased-in Advanced approaches estimates assume approval by U.S. banking regulators of our internal analytical models, including approval of the internal models methodology (IMM). As of
September 30, 2016, BAC did not have regulatory approval for the IMM model.
6 As previously disclosed, with the approval to exit parallel run, U.S. banking regulators requested modifications to certain internal analytical models including the wholesale (e.g., commercial) credit
models, which increased our risk-weighted assets under the Advanced approaches beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Net Interest Income 1
10
• Net interest income of $10.2B ($10.4B FTE 2) increased $0.3B
from 3Q15 as the benefits from loan growth, higher short-end
rates and increased debt securities balances offset the decline
from lower long-end rates
– Net interest yield increased 4bps to 2.23%
• NII increased $0.1B from 2Q16, due primarily to one additional
interest accrual day and lower funding costs, partially offset by
lower average long-end rates
• We remain well positioned for NII to benefit as rates move higher
– +100bps parallel shift in interest rate yield curve is estimated
to benefit NII by $5.3B over the next 12 months, of which 60%
is driven by short-end rates 4

Expense Highlights
____________________
Note: Amounts may not total due to rounding.
• Total noninterest expense of $13.5B in 3Q16 declined $0.5B, or
3%, from 3Q15, driven by improvements in mortgage servicing
costs and broad-based reductions in operating and support costs
– Expense was relatively flat versus 2Q16 as general expense
improvement was mostly offset by an expected increase in
FDIC expense
• Personnel costs declined 2% from 3Q15, reflecting lower staffing
levels, partially offset by higher revenue-related incentive
compensation
• Non-personnel costs decreased 5% from 3Q15, driven by a
reduction in operating and support costs across most categories
• Litigation expense of $250MM in 3Q16 versus $270MM in 2Q16
and $231MM in 3Q15
• FTE headcount down 3% from 3Q15 as reductions in support and
operations more than offset increases in sales staff

1 Regulatory capital ratios are preliminary. For important presentation information, see slide 27. Under the applicable bank regulatory rules, the Corporation is not required to and, accordingly, will not
restate previously-filed capital ratios in connection with the change in accounting method related to certain debt securities. The cumulative impact of this change would have resulted in an insignificant
pro forma change of the Corporation's capital ratios.
2 Prior to the fourth quarter of 2015, Bank of America was required to report regulatory capital using the Standardized approach. In connection with its exit from parallel run in the fourth quarter of 2015,
Bank of America began to report regulatory capital ratios under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The approach that yields the lower ratio is used to assess capital adequacy.
3 Basel 3 fully phased-in Advanced approaches estimates assume approval by U.S. banking regulators of our internal analytical models, including approval of the IMM. As of September 30, 2016, BAC did not
have regulatory approval for the IMM model.
4 As previously disclosed, with the approval to exit parallel run, U.S. banking regulators requested modifications to certain internal analytical models including the wholesale (e.g., commercial) credit
models, which increased our risk-weighted assets under the Advanced approaches beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015.

A Global Liquidity Sources (GLS) include cash and high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities, limited to U.S. government securities, U.S. agency securities, U.S.
agency MBS, and a select group of non-U.S. government and supranational securities, and are readily available to meet funding requirements as they arise. It does
not include Federal Reserve Discount Window or Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing capacity. Transfers of liquidity among legal entities may be subject to certain
regulatory and other restrictions. Prior to the third quarter of 2016, GLS were referred to as “Global Excess Liquidity Sources.”
B Time to Required Funding (TTF) is a debt coverage measure and is expressed as the number of months unsecured holding company obligations of Bank of
America Corporation can be met using only the Global Liquidity Sources held at the BAC parent company and NB Holdings without the BAC parent company
issuing debt or sourcing additional liquidity. We define unsecured contractual obligations for purposes of this metric as maturities of senior or subordinated debt
issued or guaranteed by Bank of America Corporation. Prior to the third quarter of 2016, the TTF metric incorporated only the GLS of the BAC parent
company. Effective September 30, 2016, the TTF metric was expanded to include the GLS of NB Holdings, following changes in the Corporation’s liquidity
management practices, initiated in connection with the Corporation’s resolution planning activities, that include maintaining at NB Holdings GLS previously held
at the BAC parent company. For the period shown in 2015, we have included in the amount of unsecured contractual obligations the liability, including estimated
costs, for the previously announced BNY Mellon private-label securitization settlement. In 1Q16, settlement payment was made for $8.5B.
C The numerator of the SLR is quarter-end Basel 3 Tier 1 capital calculated on a fully phased-in basis. The denominator is total leverage exposure based on the daily
average of the sum of on-balance sheet exposures less permitted Tier 1 deductions, as well as the simple average of certain off-balance sheet exposures, as of the
end of each month in a quarter. Off-balance sheet exposures primarily include undrawn lending commitments, letters of credit, potential future derivative
exposures and repo-style transactions.
D Revenue for all periods included net DVA on derivatives, as well as amortization of own credit portion of purchase discount and realized DVA on structured
liabilities. Net DVA gains (losses) were ($127MM), ($164MM) and $12MM for 3Q16, 2Q16 and 3Q15, respectively. Net DVA gains (losses) included in FICC revenue
were ($121MM), ($159MM) and $18MM for 3Q16, 2Q16 and 3Q15, respectively. Net DVA gains (losses) included in equities revenue were ($6MM), ($5MM) and
($6MM) for 3Q16, 2Q16 and 3Q15, respectively.
E VaR model uses historical simulation approach based on three years of historical data and an expected shortfall methodology equivalent to a 99% confidence
level. Using a 95% confidence level, average VaR was $23MM, $24MM and $24MM for 3Q16, 2Q16 and 3Q15, respectively.
Forward-Looking Statements
26
Bank of America and its management may make certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking
statements often use words such as “anticipates,” “targets,” “expects,” “hopes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “goals,” “believes,” “continue” and other similar
expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Forward-looking statements represent Bank of America's
current expectations, plans or forecasts of its future results, revenues, expenses, efficiency ratio, capital measures, and future business and economic conditions
more generally, and other future matters. These statements are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve certain known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and are often beyond Bank of America's control. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from
those expressed in, or implied by, any of these forward-looking statements.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and
uncertainties more fully discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors of Bank of America's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in any of Bank of America's subsequent
Securities and Exchange Commission filings: the Company's ability to resolve representations and warranties repurchase and related claims, including claims
brought by investors or trustees seeking to distinguish certain aspects of the New York Court of Appeals' ACE Securities Corp. v. DB Structured Products, Inc. (ACE)
decision or to assert other claims seeking to avoid the impact of the ACE decision; the possibility that the Company could face increased servicing, securities, fraud,
indemnity, contribution or other claims from one or more counterparties, including trustees, purchasers of loans, underwriters, issuers, other parties involved in
securitizations, monolines or private-label and other investors; the possibility that future representations and warranties losses may occur in excess of the
Company’s recorded liability and estimated range of possible loss for its representations and warranties exposures; potential claims, damages, penalties, fines and
reputational damage resulting from pending or future litigation and regulatory proceedings, including the possibility that amounts may be in excess of the
Company’s recorded liability and estimated range of possible loss for litigation exposures; the possible outcome of LIBOR, other reference rate, financial instrument
and foreign exchange inquiries, investigations and litigation; uncertainties about the financial stability and growth rates of non-U.S. jurisdictions, the risk that those
jurisdictions may face difficulties servicing their sovereign debt, and related stresses on financial markets, currencies and trade, and the Company’s exposures to
such risks, including direct, indirect and operational; the impact of U.S. and global interest rates (including negative or continued low interest rates), currency
exchange rates and economic conditions; the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected due to changes in economic assumptions,
customer behavior and other uncertainties; the impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations of a potential higher interest rate
environment; the impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations from a protracted period of lower oil prices or ongoing volatility
with respect to oil prices; our ability to achieve our expense targets; adverse changes to the Company’s credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies;
estimates of the fair value of certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities; uncertainty regarding the content, timing and impact of regulatory capital and liquidity
requirements, including the potential adoption of total loss-absorbing capacity requirements; the potential for payment protection insurance exposure to increase
as a result of Financial Conduct Authority actions; the possible impact of Federal Reserve actions on the Company’s capital plans; the possible impact of the
Company’s failure to remediate deficiencies identified by banking regulators in the Corporation’s Recovery and Resolution plans; the impact of implementation and
compliance with U.S. and international laws, regulations and regulatory interpretations, including, but not limited to, recovery and resolution planning
requirements, FDIC assessments, the Volcker Rule, fiduciary standards and derivatives regulations; a failure in or breach of the Company’s operational or security
systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties, including as a result of cyber attacks; the impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of
operations from the potential exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union; and other similar matters.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Bank of America undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to
reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made.
• The information contained herein is preliminary and based on Company data available at the time of the earnings presentation. It speaks only as of the particular date or
dates included in the accompanying slides. Bank of America does not undertake an obligation to, and disclaims any duty to, update any of the information provided.
• Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, the Corporation classifies operating
leases in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 $6.0B and $5.6B, respectively, of operating leases were
reclassified from loans and leases to other assets to conform to this presentation. Additionally, amounts related to these leases were reclassified from net interest income to
other income and other general operating expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
• The Corporation may present certain key performance indicators and ratios excluding certain items (e.g., debit valuation adjustments, charge-offs related to the settlement
with the DOJ) which result in non-GAAP financial measures. The Corporation believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in
understanding its results of operations and trends. For more information about the non-GAAP financial measures contained herein, please see the presentation of the most
directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and accompanying reconciliations in the earnings press release for the quarter ended September
30, 2016 and other earnings-related information available through the Bank of America Investor Relations web site at: http://investor.bankofamerica.com.
• The Company views net interest income and related ratios and analyses on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis, which when presented on a consolidated basis, are non-
GAAP financial measures. The Company believes managing the business with net interest income on an FTE basis provides investors with a more accurate picture of the
interest margin for comparative purposes. The Corporation believes that the presentation allows for comparison of amounts from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and
is consistent with industry practices. The FTE adjustment was $228MM, $223MM, $215MM, $225MM and $227MM for 3Q16, 2Q16, 1Q16, 4Q15 and 3Q15, respectively.
• The Company’s fully phased-in Basel 3 estimates and the supplementary leverage ratio are based on the Standardized and Advanced approaches under Basel 3 and
supplementary leverage ratio final rules. Under the Basel 3 Advanced approaches, risk-weighted assets are determined primarily for market risk and credit risk, similar to the
Standardized approach, but also incorporate operational risk and a credit valuation adjustment component. Market risk capital measurements are consistent with the
Standardized approach, except for securitization exposures, where the Supervisory Formula Approach is also permitted. Credit risk exposures are measured using internal
ratings-based models to determine the applicable risk weight by estimating the probability of default, loss given default and, in certain instances, exposure at default. The
internal analytical models primarily rely on internal historical default and loss experience. The calculations under Basel 3 require management to make estimates,
assumptions and interpretations, including the probability of future events based on historical experience. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Bank of America received approval to begin using the Advanced approaches capital framework to determine risk-based capital requirements beginning in the fourth quarter
of 2015. As previously disclosed, with the approval to exit parallel, U.S. banking regulators requested modifications to certain internal analytical models including the
wholesale (e.g., commercial) credit models, which increased our risk-weighted assets under the Advanced approaches beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015. These Basel 3
fully phased-in Advanced approaches estimates assume approval by U.S. banking regulators of our internal analytical models, including approval of the internal models
methodology (IMM). As of September 30, 2016, BAC did not have regulatory approval for the IMM model. Our estimates under the Basel 3 Advanced approaches may be
refined over time as a result of further rulemaking or clarification by U.S. banking regulators.
• The Company allocates capital to its business segments using a methodology that considers the effect of regulatory capital requirements in addition to internal risk-based
capital models. The Company's internal risk-based capital models use a risk-adjusted methodology incorporating each segment's credit, market, interest rate, business and
operational risk components. Allocated capital is reviewed periodically and refinements are made based on multiple considerations that include, but are not limited to, risk-
weighted assets measured under Basel 3 Standardized and Advanced approaches, business segment exposures and risk profile and strategic plans. As a result of this
process, in the first quarter 2016, the Company adjusted the amount of capital being allocated to its business segments.
