Material Changes Versus Prior Period
Compared to the prior quarter (March 31, 2025), the Group experienced the following material changes:
- Capital Ratios: All three primary capital ratios (Total, Tier 1, and CET1) for the consolidated Group declined slightly, ranging from a 0.05% to 0.23% decrease.
- Capital Base: Total capital increased by 156.7 billion JPY, and Tier 1 capital increased by 238.7 billion JPY. However, Common Equity Tier 1 capital saw a negligible increase of only 1.9 billion JPY.
- Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA): RWA increased by 1,794.7 billion JPY (approximately 1.7%), outpacing the growth in Common Equity Tier 1 capital, which contributed to the decline in the CET1 ratio.
- Trust Subsidiary: Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation saw a decrease in absolute capital amounts (Total capital down 12.5 billion JPY) alongside a significant increase in RWA (314.4 billion JPY), leading to a sharper decline in its capital ratios.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing text does not contain forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future performance, specific risk factors, or contingencies beyond the standard regulatory capital reporting.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the 1.7% increase in Risk-Weighted Assets on future capital ratio trends.
- Confirm the drivers behind the minimal growth in Common Equity Tier 1 capital (only 1.9 billion JPY increase) despite higher Tier 1 capital.
- Review the specific asset composition changes in Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation that led to a decrease in absolute capital and a 0.74% drop in the total capital ratio.
- Check subsequent filings for revenue and earnings data, as this 6-K does not contain P&L information.
