Business Overview
JPMorgan Chase reported second-quarter 2014 net income of $6.0 billion, or $1.46 per share, on net revenue of $24.5 billion. Net income decreased by $511 million, compared with net income of $6.5 billion, or $1.60 per share, in the second quarter of 2013. Return on equity for the quarter was 11%, compared with 13% for the prior-year quarter.
The Firm’s results reflected strong underlying performance, notwithstanding industry-wide headwinds in Markets and Mortgage.
The decrease in net income from the second quarter of 2013 was driven by higher provision for credit losses and lower net revenue, partially offset by lower noninterest expense. Net revenue was $24.5 billion, down 3% compared with the prior year. Noninterest revenue was $13.7 billion, down 6% compared with the prior year, primarily driven by a decrease in principal transactions and lower mortgage fees and related income, partially offset by an increase in other income. Net interest income was $10.8 billion, up 1% compared with the prior year, reflecting the impact of higher yields on securities, lower yields on long-term debt and deposits, and higher average loan balances, largely offset by lower yields on loans and lower average interest-earning trading asset balances.
The provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased from the prior year, reflecting an increase in the consumer provision for credit losses, partially offset by a decline in the wholesale provision for credit losses. The increase in the consumer provision for credit losses was the result of a lower benefit from reductions in the consumer allowance for loan losses, partially offset by lower net charge-offs. The current-quarter consumer allowance release was primarily due to the continued improvement in home prices and
 
delinquencies in the residential real estate portfolio. The current-quarter consumer provision reflected a $354 million reduction in the allowance for credit losses, compared to a $1.5 billion reduction in the prior year. Consumer net charge-offs were $1.2 billion, compared with $1.5 billion in the prior year, resulting in net charge-off rates, excluding PCI loans, of 1.34% and 1.66%, respectively. The wholesale provision reflected a generally favorable credit environment and stable credit quality trends. The wholesale provision for credit losses was a benefit of $156 million, compared to a provision of $76 million in the prior year. Wholesale net recoveries were $44 million, compared with net recoveries of $67 million in the prior year, resulting in net recovery rate of 0.06% and 0.09%, respectively. The Firm’s allowance for loan losses to period-end loans retained, excluding PCI loans, was 1.69%, compared with 2.06% in the prior year. The Firm’s nonperforming assets totaled $9.0 billion, down from the prior quarter and prior year levels of $9.5 billion and $11.0 billion, respectively.
Noninterest expense was $15.4 billion, down $435 million, or 3%, compared with the prior year, driven by lower expense in mortgage production and servicing and lower performance-related compensation in the Corporate & Investment Bank, predominantly offset by higher control costs.
CBB average deposits were up 9% and Business Banking loan originations, a record, were up 46%. Client investment assets were a record $205.2 billion, up 19%, and credit card sales volume was $118.0 billion, up 12% from the prior year. CIB maintained its #1 ranking for Global Investment Banking fees, and assets under custody were up 14% compared with the prior year. CB period-end loan balances were up 9%, and gross investment banking

revenue with CB clients was up 25%. AM reported positive net long-term product flows for the twenty-first consecutive quarter, total client assets of $2.5 trillion and record period-end loan balances of $100.9 billion.
The Firm maintained its fortress balance sheet, ending the second quarter with estimated Basel III Advanced Fully Phased-in CET1 capital of $161 billion and a CET1 capital ratio of 9.8%. (Basel III Advanced Fully Phased-In measures are non-GAAP financial measures which the Firm uses, along with the other capital measures, to assess and monitor its capital position. For further discussion of the CET1 capital ratios, see Regulatory capital on pages 74–78.) The Firm’s supplementary leverage ratio (“SLR”) was 5.4% and the Firm had $576 billion of high quality liquid assets (“HQLA”) as of June 30, 2014.
JPMorgan Chase continued to support clients, consumers, companies and communities around the globe. The Firm provided credit and raised capital of over $1.0 trillion for commercial and consumer clients during the six months ended June 30, 2014. This included $10 billion of credit provided for U.S. small businesses and $296 billion of credit provided for corporations. The Firm raised more than $611 billion of capital for clients. In addition, more than $33 billion of credit was provided to, and capital was raised for, nonprofit and government entities, including states, municipalities, hospitals and universities.
Consumer & Community Banking net income was $2.4 billion, a decrease of $646 million, or 21%, compared with the prior year, due to higher provision for credit losses and lower net revenue, partially offset by lower noninterest expense. Net revenue was $11.4 billion, a decrease of $584 million, or 5%, compared with the prior year. Net interest income was $7.0 billion, down $131 million, or 2%, driven by spread compression and lower mortgage warehouse balances, largely offset by higher deposit balances. Noninterest revenue was $4.5 billion, a decrease of $453 million, or 9%, driven by lower mortgage fees and related income. The provision for credit losses was $852 million, compared with a benefit of $19 million in the prior year. The current-quarter provision reflected a $357 million reduction in the allowance for loan losses and total net charge-offs of $1.2 billion. The prior-year provision reflected a $1.5 billion reduction in the allowance for loan losses and total net charge-offs of $1.5 billion. Noninterest expense was $6.5 billion, a decrease of $408 million, or 6%, from the prior year, driven by lower Mortgage Banking expense, partially offset by higher Credit Card expense. Return on equity for the second quarter of 2014 was 19% on $51.0 billion of average allocated capital.
Corporate & Investment Bank net income was $2.0 billion, down 31% compared with $2.8 billion in the prior year, reflecting lower revenue, as well as higher noninterest expense. Net revenue was $9.0 billion compared with $9.9 billion in the prior year. Excluding the impact of a debit valuation adjustment (“DVA”) gain of $355 million in the prior year, net revenue was down 6% from $9.5 billion in the prior year, and net income was down 25% from $2.6 billion in the prior year. Noninterest expense was $6.1 billion, up 6% from the prior year, driven by higher
 
noncompensation expense, partially offset by lower performance-based compensation. Return on equity for the second quarter of 2014 was 13% on $61.0 billion of average allocated capital.
Commercial Banking net income was $658 million, up 6% compared with the prior year, reflecting a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense and lower net revenue. Net revenue was $1.7 billion, a decrease of $27 million, or 2%, compared with the prior year. Net interest income was $1.1 billion, a decrease of $53 million, or 5%, compared with the prior year, reflecting spread compression and lower purchase discounts recognized on loan repayments, partially offset by higher loan balances. Noninterest revenue was $577 million, an increase of $26 million, or 5%, compared with the prior year, driven by higher investment banking revenue. Noninterest expense was $675 million, up 4% compared with the prior year, largely reflecting higher investments in controls. Return on equity for the second quarter of 2014 was 19% on $14.0 billion of average allocated capital.
Asset Management net income was $552 million, an increase of $52 million, or 10%, from the prior year, reflecting higher net revenue, largely offset by higher noninterest expense. Net revenue was $3.0 billion, an increase of $231 million, or 8%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue was $2.4 billion, up $224 million, or 10%, from the prior year, due to net client inflows and the effect of higher market levels. Net interest income was $576 million, up $7 million, or 1% from the prior year, due to higher loan and deposit balances, largely offset by spread compression. Noninterest expense was $2.1 billion, an increase of $170 million, or 9%, from the prior year, primarily due to continued investment in controls and growth. Return on equity was 25% on $9.0 billion of average allocated capital and pretax margin was 30% for the second quarter of 2014.
Corporate/Private Equity net income was $369 million, compared with a net loss of $552 million in the prior year.
Private Equity reported net income of $7 million, compared with net income of $212 million in the prior year. Net revenue was $36 million, compared with $410 million in the prior year, primarily due to lower net valuation gains on privately held investments.
Treasury and CIO reported a net loss of $46 million, compared with a net loss of $429 million in the prior year. Net revenue was $87 million, compared with a loss of $648 million in the prior year. Current-quarter net interest income was a loss of $10 million, compared with a loss of $558 million in the prior year, reflecting the benefit of higher interest rates and reinvestment opportunities.
Other Corporate reported net income of $408 million, compared with a net loss of $335 million in the prior year. The current quarter included $227 million of legal expense, compared with $604 million of legal expense in the prior year. The current quarter included an after-tax benefit of over $200 million for tax adjustments.

2014 Business outlook
JPMorgan Chase’s outlook for the third quarter and remainder of 2014 should be viewed against the backdrop of the global and U.S. economies, including the strength of consumers and businesses, U.S. housing prices, the unemployment rate, implied market interest rates, financial market levels and activity, the geopolitical environment, the competitive environment, client activity levels, and regulatory and legislative developments in the U.S. and other countries where the Firm does business. Each of these linked factors will affect the performance of the Firm and its lines of business, although each of these factors will affect each of the lines of business to a different degree.

Included operating lease income of $422 million and $363 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $820 million and $712 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014, decreased by $757 million compared with the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was predominantly due to lower principal transactions revenue and lower mortgage fees and related income, partially offset by higher other income. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, total net revenue decreased by $2.9 billion from the same period of the prior year. The decrease was predominantly due to lower mortgage fees and related income, principal transactions revenue, and securities gains, partially offset by higher asset management, administration and commissions income.
Investment banking fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, increased slightly compared with the prior year, due to higher advisory and equity underwriting fees, largely offset by lower debt underwriting fees. The increase in advisory fees was related to stronger wallet share of completed transactions. The increase in equity underwriting fees was driven by stronger industry-wide issuance. The decrease in debt underwriting fees was primarily related to lower loan syndication fees on lower industry-wide wallet levels. For additional information on investment banking fees, see CIB segment results on pages 34–39 and Note 6.
Principal transactions revenue decreased compared with the stronger results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, reflecting, in CIB, lower fixed income markets revenue on historically low levels of volatility and lower client activity across products, as well as lower equity markets revenue on lower derivatives revenue. Private equity gains in the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased from the prior year as a result of lower net valuation gains on privately held investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, private equity gains increased due to higher net valuation gains on publicly held
 
investments and gains on sales. For additional information on principal transactions revenue, see CIB and Corporate/Private Equity segment results on pages 34–39 and pages 47–49, respectively, and Note 6.
Asset management, administration and commissions revenue increased compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, reflecting higher net client inflows and the effect of higher market levels in AM and CCB. The increase was offset partially by lower revenue in CCB related to the exit of a non-core product in the second half of 2013. For additional information on these fees and commissions, see the segment discussions for CCB on pages 20–33, AM on pages 43–46, and Note 6.
Securities gains in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, decreased compared with the prior periods, reflecting the repositioning of the investment securities portfolio. For additional information, see the Corporate/Private Equity segment discussion on pages 47–49, and Note 11.
Mortgage fees and related income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, decreased compared with the prior periods. For both periods, the decrease was predominantly related to lower net production revenue, driven by lower volumes. The decrease from the three months of the prior year was offset partially by higher mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) risk management results, driven by approximately $220 million of positive model assumption updates on slower prepayments, compared with $79 million in the prior year. MSR risk management results for the six months ended June 30, 2014, were flat compared with the prior year. For additional information, see pages 28–30, and Note 16.


10


Other income increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with the prior year, reflecting a benefit from a franchise tax settlement, the absence of a modest loss on the redemption of trust preferred securities recorded in the second quarter of 2013, and higher auto operating lease income in CCB, resulting from growth in lease volume. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2014, was partially offset by lower valuations of seed capital investments in AM.
Net interest income increased in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with the prior year; for the six months ended June 30, 2014, net interest income decreased compared with the prior year. The increase from the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily reflected the impact of higher yields on securities, lower yields on long-term debt and deposits, and higher average loan balances, largely offset by lower yields on loans (due to the
 
run-off of higher-yielding loans and new originations of lower-yielding loans), and lower average interest-earning trading asset balances. The decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily reflected the impact of lower yields on loans (due to the run-off of higher yielding loans and new originations of lower yielding loans), and lower average interest-earning trading asset balances, largely offset by higher yields on securities and lower yields on long-term debt and deposits. The Firm’s average interest-earning assets were $2.0 trillion for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and the net interest yield on those assets, on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis, was 2.19%, a decrease of 1 basis point from the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Firm’s average interest-earning assets were $2.0 trillion, and the net interest yield on those assets, on a FTE basis, was 2.20%, a decrease of 8 basis points from the prior year.

The provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased from the prior year, reflecting an increase in the consumer provision for credit losses, partially offset by a decline in the wholesale provision for credit losses. The increase in the consumer provision for credit losses was the result of a lower benefit from reductions in the consumer allowance for loan losses, partially offset by lower net charge-offs. The consumer allowance release was primarily due to the continued
 
improvement in home prices and delinquencies in the residential real estate portfolio. The wholesale provision reflected a generally favorable credit environment and stable credit quality trends. For a more detailed discussion of the credit portfolio and the allowance for credit losses, see the segment discussions for CCB on pages 20–33, CIB on pages 34–39 and CB on pages 40–42, and the Allowance for credit losses section on pages 66–68.

Included firmwide legal expense of $669 million and $678 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $707 million and $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
(b)
Included FDIC-related expense of $266 million and $392 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $559 million and $771 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014, decreased by $435 million compared with the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, total noninterest expense decreased by $1.2 billion from the prior year. For both periods, the decrease was driven by lower compensation and other expense.
Compensation expense decreased compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, predominantly driven by lower performance-based compensation expense in CIB, lower headcount-related expense in MB, and lower postretirement benefit costs. The decrease in compensation expense was partially offset by higher headcount related to the Firm’s investments in controls.
 
Noncompensation expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, decreased compared with the prior year. The decrease from the three months of the prior year was largely due to lower other expense, in particular, lower FDIC-related assessments, and lower production and servicing-related expense in Mortgage Banking. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the decrease from the prior year was largely due to the aforementioned items, as well as lower legal-related expense in Corporate/Private Equity, and lower foreclosed asset expense. The decrease in both periods was offset partially by investments in controls, and the costs related to business simplification initiatives in CIB. For a further discussion of legal expense, see Note 23.

The decrease in the effective tax rate compared with the prior year was largely attributable to lower reported pre-tax income in combination with changes in the mix of income and expense items subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes, and the impact of tax-exempt income and business tax credits. The current-year second quarter included tax benefits associated with the settlement of tax audits. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, the
 
decrease in the effective tax rate was partially offset by the write-down of deferred tax assets as a result of tax law changes enacted in New York State and lower tax benefits associated with prior year tax adjustments and the settlement of tax audits.

Consolidated Balance Sheets overview
JPMorgan Chase’s total assets increased by $104.6 billion, and total liabilities increased by $88.5 billion from December 31, 2013.
The following is a discussion of the significant changes in the specific line item captions on the Consolidated Balance Sheets from December 31, 2013.
 
Cash and due from banks and deposits with banks
The net increase was attributable to a higher level of excess funds, which the Firm placed with various central banks, predominantly Federal Reserve Banks.
Trading assets and liabilitiesdebt and equity instruments
The increase in trading assets was related to client-driven market-making activities in CIB, which resulted in a higher level of debt securities, and to a lesser extent, equity securities.
The increase in trading liabilities was related to client-driven market-making activities in CIB, which resulted in a higher level of short positions in debt securities. For additional information, refer to Note 3.
Trading assets and liabilitiesderivative receivables and payables
The decrease in both receivables and payables was due to client-driven market-making activity in equity derivatives, and maturities of foreign exchange derivatives. For additional information, refer to Derivative contracts on pages 64–65, and Notes 3 and 5.
Securities
The increase was largely due to higher levels of U.S. mortgage-backed securities and obligations of U.S. states and municipalities, partially offset by a lower level of non-U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities. For additional information related to securities, refer to the discussion in the Corporate/Private Equity segment on pages 47–49, and Notes 3 and 11.
Loans and allowance for loan losses
The increase in loans was attributable to net originations of wholesale loans, which continued to experience a favorable credit environment and stable credit quality trend. The increase in wholesale loans was partially offset by lower consumer loans, predominantly reflecting seasonality in the credit card portfolio.
The decrease in allowance for loan losses was driven by a reduction in the consumer allowance, predominantly as a result of continued improvement in home prices and delinquency trends in the residential real estate portfolio, a reduction in the credit card asset-specific allowance due to increased granularity of impairment estimates for loans modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), as well as run-off in the student loan portfolio. The wholesale allowance was relatively unchanged, reflecting a generally favorable credit environment and stable credit quality trend. For a more detailed discussion of the loan portfolio and the allowance for loan losses, refer to Credit Risk Management on pages 51–68, and Notes 3, 4, 13 and 14.


13


Accrued interest and accounts receivable
The increase was due to higher receivables from security sales that did not settle, and higher client receivables, reflecting client-driven market-making activity in CIB.
Mortgage servicing rights
The decrease was predominantly due to the impact of total changes in valuation due to inputs and assumptions. For additional information on MSRs, see Note 16.
Deposits
The increase was attributable to higher consumer and wholesale deposits. The increase in consumer deposits reflected a continuing positive growth trend, which was the result of strong customer retention, maturing of recent branch builds, and net new business. The increase in wholesale deposits was related to strong client deposit inflows toward the end of June 2014. For more information on consumer deposits, refer to the CCB segment discussion on pages 20–33; the Liquidity Risk Management discussion on pages 81–85; and Notes 3 and 17. For more information on wholesale client deposits, refer to the AM, CB and CIB segment discussions on pages 43–46, pages 40–42 and pages 34–39, respectively.
Federal funds purchased and securities loaned or sold under repurchase agreements
The increase in securities sold under repurchase agreements was predominantly due to higher financing of the Firm’s trading assets-debt and equity instruments as well as investment securities portfolio, and a change in the mix of the Firm’s funding sources. For additional information on the Firm’s Liquidity Risk Management, see pages 81–85.
Accounts payable and other liabilities
The increase was attributable to higher client short positions and higher payables from security purchases that did not settle, both in CIB; and higher payables to merchants pending settlement of sales transactions in Card. The increase was partially offset by a decline in other liabilities in Corporate, largely reflecting the settlement of previously disclosed legal and regulatory matters.
Stockholders’ equity
The increase was due to net income, preferred stock issuances, and higher accumulated other comprehensive income. The increase was partially offset by the declaration of cash dividends on common and preferred stock, and repurchases of common stock. For additional information on accumulated other comprehensive income, see Note 19; for the Firm’s capital actions, see Capital actions on pages 79-80.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
JPMorgan Chase is involved with several types of off–balance sheet arrangements, including through nonconsolidated special-purpose entities (“SPEs”), which are a type of variable interest entity (“VIE”), and through lending-related financial instruments (e.g., commitments and guarantees). For further discussion, see Note 21 of this Form 10-Q and Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Cash Obligations on pages 77–79 and Note 29 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2013 Annual Report.
Special-purpose entities
The most common type of VIE is an SPE. SPEs are commonly used in securitization transactions in order to isolate certain assets and distribute the cash flows from those assets to investors. SPEs are an important part of the financial markets, including the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and commercial paper markets, as they provide market liquidity by facilitating investors’ access to specific portfolios of assets and risks. The Firm holds capital, as deemed appropriate, against all SPE-related transactions and related exposures, such as derivative transactions and lending-related commitments and guarantees. For further information on the types of SPEs, see Note 15 of this Form 10-Q, and Note 1 and Note 16 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2013 Annual Report.
Implications of a credit rating downgrade to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
For certain liquidity commitments to SPEs, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., could be required to provide funding if its short-term credit rating were downgraded below specific levels, primarily “P-1,” “A-1” and “F1” for Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, respectively. These liquidity commitments support the issuance of asset-backed commercial paper by Firm-administered consolidated SPEs. In the event of a short-term credit rating downgrade, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., absent other solutions, would be required to provide funding to the SPE, if the commercial paper could not be reissued as it matured. The aggregate amounts of commercial paper outstanding held by third parties as of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, was $9.7 billion and $15.5 billion, respectively. The aggregate amounts of commercial paper outstanding could increase in future periods should clients of the Firm-administered consolidated SPEs draw down on certain unfunded lending-related commitments. These unfunded lending-related commitments were $9.2 billion at both June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013. The Firm could facilitate the refinancing of some of the clients’ assets in order to reduce the funding obligation.


 


Off–balance sheet lending-related financial instruments, guarantees, and other commitments
JPMorgan Chase provides lending-related financial instruments (e.g., commitments and guarantees) to meet the financing needs of its customers. The contractual amount of these financial instruments represents the maximum possible credit risk to the Firm should the counterparty draw upon the commitment or the Firm be required to fulfill its obligation under the guarantee, and should the counterparty subsequently fail to perform according to the terms of the contract. Most of these commitments and guarantees expire without being drawn or a default occurring. As a result, the total contractual amount of these instruments is not, in the Firm’s view, representative of its actual future credit exposure or funding requirements. For further discussion of lending-related financial instruments, guarantees and other commitments, and the Firm’s accounting for them, see Lending-related commitments on page 64 and Note 21 (including the table that presents the related amounts by contractual maturity as of June 30, 2014). For a discussion of loan repurchase liabilities, see Note 21.

Operating activities
Operating assets and liabilities can vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of cash flows, which are affected by client-driven and risk management activities, and market conditions. The Firm believes cash flows from operations, available cash balances and its ability to generate cash through short- and long-term borrowings are sufficient to fund the Firm’s operating liquidity needs.
Cash provided by operating activities predominantly resulted from net income after noncash operating adjustments; a decrease in other assets driven by lower cash margin balances placed with exchanges and clearing houses; and higher net proceeds from loan sales activities. Cash provided during 2013 predominantly resulted from lower trading assets from client-driven market-making activities in CIB, and an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities predominantly due to higher brokerage payables; partially offset by an increase in accounts receivables due to higher brokerage receivables and margin loan balances from client-driven activities predominantly in CIB; and the timing of merchant receivables payments related to CCB’s Card Services business.
 
Investing activities
Cash used in investing activities during 2014 and 2013 predominantly resulted from increases in deposits with banks reflecting the placement of the Firm’s excess funds with various central banks, predominantly Federal Reserve banks; and, in 2014, net purchases of investment securities. Additionally in 2014, loans increased due to net originations of wholesale loans, which continued to experience a generally favorable credit environment and stable credit quality trends. Partially offsetting cash outflows in 2013 was a decline in securities purchased under resale agreements due to a shift in the deployment of the Firm’s excess cash by Treasury; and a decline in available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities from proceeds of net maturities and sales.
Financing activities
Cash provided by financing activities in 2014 predominantly resulted from higher consumer and wholesale deposits — the increase in consumer deposits reflected a continuing positive growth trend, which was the result of strong customer retention, maturing of recent branch builds, and net new business; an increase in securities loaned or sold under repurchase agreements due to higher financing of the Firm’s trading assets-debt and equity instruments as well as investment securities portfolio, and a change in the mix of the Firm’s funding sources; and proceeds from preferred stock issuances. Further, issuances of long-term borrowings were offset by maturities and redemptions. Cash provided in 2013 was predominantly driven by net proceeds from long-term borrowings; an increase in securities loaned or sold under repurchase agreements predominantly due to higher secured financing of the Firm’s assets and higher client financing activity; and proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock. Partially offsetting these cash inflows in 2014 and 2013 were repurchases of common stock and payments of dividends on common and preferred stock.

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 90–94. 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.

(a)
Predominantly recognized in CIB and CB business segments and Corporate/Private Equity.
Tangible common equity (“TCE”), ROTCE and TBVPS 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 average TCE. TBVPS represents the Firm’s tangible common equity divided by period-end common shares. TCE, ROTCE, and TBVPS are meaningful to the Firm, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Firm’s use of equity.

(a)
Represents deferred tax liabilities related to tax-deductible goodwill and to identifiable intangibles created in non-taxable transactions, which are netted against goodwill and other intangibles when calculating TCE.
Additionally, certain capital ratios disclosed by the Firm are non-GAAP measures. For additional information on these non-GAAP measures, see Regulatory capital on pages 74–78.
Core net interest income
In addition to reviewing net interest income on a managed basis, management also reviews core net interest income to assess the performance of its core lending, investing (including asset-liability management) and deposit-raising activities. Core net interest income excludes the impact of
 
CIB’s market-based activities. Because of the exclusion of CIB’s market-based net interest income and the related assets, the core data presented below are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes this data provides investors and analysts a more meaningful measure by which to analyze the non-market-related business trends of the Firm and provides a comparable measure to other financial institutions that are primarily focused on core lending, investing and deposit-raising activities.

Quarterly and year-to-date results
Core net interest income increased by $488 million to $10.0 billion and by $662 million to $19.8 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared with the prior year periods. Core average interest-earning assets increased by $53.7 billion to $1.5 trillion, and by $82.2 billion to $1.5 trillion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared with the prior year periods. The increase in net interest income primarily reflected the impact of higher yields on securities, lower yields on long-term debt and
 
deposits, partially offset by lower yields on loans due to run-off of higher yielding loans and originations of lower yielding loans. The increase in average interest-earning assets primarily reflected the impact of higher average balance of deposits with banks. These changes in net interest income and interest-earning assets resulted in the core net interest yield increasing by 4 basis points to 2.64% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and decreasing by 6 basis points to 2.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
The Firm is managed on a line of business basis. There are four major reportable business segments – Consumer & Community Banking, Corporate & Investment Bank, Commercial Banking and Asset Management. In addition, there is a Corporate/Private Equity segment.
The business segments are determined based on the products and services provided, or the type of customer served, and they reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Results of these lines of business are presented on a managed basis. For a definition of managed basis, see Explanation and Reconciliation of the Firm’s use of non-GAAP financial measures, on pages 17–18.

Results of the business segments are intended to reflect each segment as if it were essentially a stand-alone business. The management reporting process that derives business segment results allocates income and expense using market-based methodologies. The Firm continues to
 
assess the assumptions, methodologies and reporting classifications used for segment reporting, and further refinements may be implemented in future periods.
For a further discussion of those methodologies, see Business Segment Results – Description of business segment reporting methodology on pages 84–85 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2013 Annual Report.
Business segment capital allocation changes
Each business segment is allocated capital by taking into consideration stand-alone peer comparisons, regulatory capital requirements (as estimated under Basel III Advanced Fully Phased-In) and economic risk measures. The amount of capital assigned to each business is referred to as equity. Effective January 1, 2014, the Firm revised the capital allocated to certain businesses. For further information about these capital changes, see Line of business equity on page 79.

Quarterly results
Consumer & Community Banking net income was $2.4 billion, a decrease of $646 million, or 21%, compared with the prior year, due to higher provision for credit losses and lower net revenue, partially offset by lower noninterest expense.
Net revenue was $11.4 billion, a decrease of $584 million, or 5%, compared with the prior year. Net interest income was $7.0 billion, down $131 million, or 2%, driven by spread compression and lower mortgage warehouse balances, largely offset by higher deposit balances. Noninterest revenue was $4.5 billion, a decrease of $453 million, or 9%, driven by lower mortgage fees and related income.
The provision for credit losses was $852 million, compared with a benefit of $19 million in the prior year. The current-quarter provision reflected a $357 million reduction in the allowance for loan losses and total net charge-offs of $1.2 billion. The prior-year provision reflected a $1.5 billion reduction in the allowance for loan losses and total net charge-offs of $1.5 billion. For more information, including net charge-off amounts and rates, see Consumer Credit Portfolio on pages 52–59.
 
Noninterest expense was $6.5 billion, a decrease of $408 million, or 6%, from the prior year, driven by lower Mortgage Banking expense, partially offset by higher Credit Card expense.
