Notice regarding Revisions of Earnings Forecasts

Tokyo, February 6, 2009—Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) hereby announces the revisions of its forecasts of consolidated earnings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, which were announced on November 18, 2008. The forecast of annual dividends per share of common stock (an annual dividend of ¥14 per common share) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 has not been revised.

In addition, please refer to “3. Qualitative information related to the consolidated earnings forecasts of Qualitative Information and Financial Statements included in Consolidated Summary Report for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 <under Japanese GAAP>” posted today.

1. Forecasted consolidated earnings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 under Japanese GAAP

 

		(in billions of Japanese yen, except percentages)
		Ordinary income		Ordinary profits		Net income
Previous forecast (A)		5,900.0		600.0		220.0
Revised forecast (B)		5,900.0		350.0		50.0
Change (B-A)		—		(250.0)		(170.0)
Change (%)		—  %		(41.6%)		(77.2%)

2. Reason for Revisions of Earnings Forecasts

MUFG revised its earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, mainly due to recognition of losses on write-down of marketable equity securities, caused by the decline of share prices for the third quarter.

The above earnings forecasts assume share price levels as of the end of December, 2008. Because MUFG Group uses a reversal method for recording losses on write-down of marketable equity securities at quarter ends, the amount of losses on write-down of marketable equity securities for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 will depend on share prices as of March 31, 2009. Consequently, actual results may differ significantly from the above forecasts depending on share price levels and other factors.
