Management’s discussion and analysis
82 JPMorgan Chase & Co./2013 Annual Report
EXPLANATION AND RECONCILIATION OF THE FIRM’S USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Firm prepares its consolidated financial statements
using accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
(“U.S. GAAP”); these financial statements appear on pages
184–188 of this Annual Report. That presentation, which is
referred to as “reported” basis, provides the reader with an
understanding of the Firm’s results that can be tracked
consistently from year to year and enables a comparison of
the Firm’s performance with other companies’ U.S. GAAP
financial statements.
In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported
basis, management reviews the Firm’s results and the
results of the lines of business on a “managed” basis, which
is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Firm’s definition of
managed basis starts with the reported U.S. GAAP results
and includes certain reclassifications to present total net
revenue for the Firm (and each of the business segments)
on a FTE basis. Accordingly, revenue from investments that
receive tax credits and tax-exempt securities is presented in
the managed results on a basis comparable to taxable
investments and securities. This non-GAAP financial
measure allows management to assess the comparability of
revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.
The corresponding income tax impact related to tax-exempt
items is recorded within income tax expense. These
adjustments have no impact on net income as reported by
the Firm as a whole or by the lines of business.
Management also uses certain non-GAAP financial
measures at the business-segment level, because it believes
these other non-GAAP financial measures provide
information to investors about the underlying operational
performance and trends of the particular business segment
and, therefore, facilitate a comparison of the business
segment with the performance of its competitors. Non-
GAAP financial measures used by the Firm may not be
comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial
measures used by other companies.
The following summary table provides a reconciliation from the Firm’s reported U.S. GAAP results to managed basis.

Tangible common equity (“TCE”), ROTCE, tangible book
value per share (“TBVS”), and Tier 1 common under Basel I
and III rules are each non-GAAP financial measures. TCE
represents the Firm’s common stockholders’ equity (i.e.,
total stockholders’ equity less preferred stock) less goodwill
and identifiable intangible assets (other than MSRs), net of
related deferred tax liabilities. ROTCE measures the Firm’s
earnings as a percentage of TCE. TBVS represents the Firm’s
tangible common equity divided by period-end common
shares. Tier 1 common under Basel I and III rules are used
by management, along with other capital measures, to
assess and monitor the Firm’s capital position. TCE, ROTCE,
and TBVS are meaningful to the Firm, as well as investors
and analysts, in assessing the Firm’s use of equity. The Firm
uses ROTCE, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate its
use of equity and to facilitate comparisons with
competitors. For additional information on Tier 1 common
under Basel I and III, see Regulatory capital on pages 161–
165 of this Annual Report.
Calculation of certain U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP metrics
The following U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP measures, we calculated as
follows:
Return on common equity
Net income* / Average common stockholders’ equity
Return on tangible common equity
Net income* / Average tangible common equity
Return on assets
Reported net income / Total average assets
Return on risk-weighted assets
Annualized earnings / Average risk-weighted assets
Overhead ratio
Total noninterest expense / Total net revenue
* Represents net income applicable to common equity
