(SMFG) and core subsidiary, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC; A/Stable), are driven by their common Viability Ratings (VRs). The ratings reflect SMFG s strong domestic franchise, healthy liquidity and sound asset quality. They also capture modest profitability, improving capitalisation and hardened resilience to market risk. Modest Yet Stable Profitability: SMFG s net interest margins from its larger consumer finance and SME loan portfolio, which are above those of its peers, and low credit costs offset persistent margin pressures from low interest rates and fierce competition. Fitch Ratings expects SMFG to post modest and stable profitability in the financial year ending March 219 (FYE19) given modest growth expectations in 218, and progress from the plans to boost fee income from the banking, securities and other businesses, and to maintain cost efficiency. Slower Overseas Growth: SMFG s exposure to Asia s retail and SME sector is mainly via minority equity participation in local institutions. Fitch expects the contribution from overseas businesses (1HFYE18: 34% of net business profit) to grow slightly but slower than in previous years due to higher regulatory capital requirements, while maintaining higher risk buffers for any larger risk appetite. Solid Capitalisation, Modest Growth: Fitch believes adequate capitalisation will be sustained, which compares well with domestic peers but will take a few years to catch up with global peers, due to modest capital generation. Fitch Core Capital (FCC) 14.5%, or 12.9% without unrealised gains from available-for-sale (AFS) securities at 3QFYE18 and the common equity Tier 1 (CET 1) ratio (13.3%) would be affected by a 25% rise in risk-weighted assets (RWA) from Basel III reforms, but with a manageable impact in light of the grandfathering (to 227). Manageable Market Risk: Fitch expects SMFG s risk resilience to improve further through reduction of equity holdings, as indicated by its equity exposure to a CET 1 capital target of 14% by 22 (21% at end-december 217). SMFG is less exposed to higher interest rates than Japan s other mega banks, with Japanese government bond (JGB) holdings of 83% of FCC at end-december 217 (mega-bank average 125%), while its duration of 2.4 years is similar. Healthy Liquidity: SMFG s key strength is its ample liquidity, which stems from its strong domestic deposit franchise. SMFG s foreign-currency (FC) needs will remain supplemented by rising overseas and domestic FC deposits and the issuance of FC debt. However, FC funding has become more costly due to competition and the prospect of rising interest rates. Any shortfall could be covered by yen liquidity and the Bank of Japan s (BOJ) liquidity facilities.

Positive rating action would also depend on an upgrade of the Japan sovereign rating (A/Stable), as their ratings are at the same level and SMFG has large sovereign exposure. The VRs are sensitive to changes in Fitch s assessment of the operating environment, and the degree to which risk buffers compensate for risk appetite. Operating Environment, Risk Appetite: The VRs could be downgraded if there were unexpected deterioration in the operating environment. Negative rating factors would also be a significant increase in risk appetite without boosting loss-absorption buffers; heightened volatility of earnings and capital from higher equity exposure; or weaker internal capital generation leading to pressure on capitalisation and leverage. www.fitchratings.com 27

However, operating conditions remain subdued with a slow recovery in consumption from muted wage growth and inflation below the 2% target. The banks are facing less pressure from low interest rates, but Fitch believes that the banks revenue will remain under pressure from fierce competition. Fitch believes the banks operate in a highly developed and transparent regulatory framework, with legislation and regulations being enforced effectively by the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA) and overseen by the BOJ. Major banks in Japan (designated either as a Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) or a Domestic Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB) SMFG is designated as a G-SIB with a 1% surcharge) continue to face challenges to meet stricter regulatory requirements, such as Basel III capital, leverage and liquidity and surcharge requirements. The capitalisation of Japan s major banks will be affected due to the rise in RWAs caused by the Basel III reforms. That said, it will be manageable as the Japanese banks (like their global peers) will have time to adapt to the rules by 227. Company Profile Strong SME Franchise with Business Diversity SMFG is the third-largest banking group in Japan in terms of total assets, with a strong franchise supported by an extensive nationwide network (SMBC s loans represent about 16% of banking sector loans). In addition to its core commercial banking business (mainly via SMBC), SMFG carries out diversified financial services including securities brokerage, lease operations, credit cards and consumer finance. SMFG has strong SME/retail businesses inherited from its predecessor, but with more limited trust operations than its mega-bank peers. SMFG has extended its offshore business via equity investments, although its crossjurisdictional exposures are lower than its European or US major G-SIB peers. The group announced in January 218 its proposal to merge its consolidated subsidiary with its unconsolidated affiliated local bank in Indonesia, which we feel would bolster its overseas presence. Fitch expects the overseas business to continue to expand but at a slower pace as the company seeks to manage its assets more efficiently. Management and Strategy Sound Governance in Line with Industry Norms Fitch views SMFG s corporate governance as broadly in line with industry norms for Japanese major banks, but expects more time will be needed for a more substantive governance culture to sink in throughout the group. SMFG introduced group-wide business units, CxO system, and transformed into a company with three-committees (Nomination, Compensation and Audit committees consisting largely of outside directors) in 217, with the objective of establishing a G-SIB standard governance framework. These features are mostly in line with international norms, and Fitch views governance as neutral to the current rating. Strategy Focuses on Fee Business and Efficiency Fitch believes SMFG s strategic objectives and financial targets are challenging but achievable, given the actions the group has taken in the first year of its new medium-term management plan (FYE18-FYE2). The new plan follows the previous one but with a greater emphasis on consolidated profitability, as reflected in the three key financial targets (7%-8% ROE at the lower end of a rated global peers 6%-1%, overhead ratio at 1% reduction from 62% level (with around 6% target at the earliest opportunity) and 1% CET1 ratio (excludes AFS revaluation gains, final fully implemented basis)). The targets are to be met by effectively allocating resources to businesses with growth potential while maintaining cost control. 2
FYE14 9MFYE18 FYE14 9MFYE18 FYE14 9MFYE18 Banks Focus on cost efficiency has become crucial for the banking group under the current operating environment where top-line growth opportunity is limited and investment in technology is mandatory. SMFG s plan is natural reduction in headcount and making use of IT such as to centralise back-office operations, together with branch reorganisation. The bank s strength is its firm cost control compared with its peers, but the gap has narrowed in recent years.

SMFG says it intends to adhere to equity participation initially, to benefit from local expertise, which may ultimately lead to increased investments where opportunity and return prospects are met, as in the case of PT Bank Tabungan Pensiunan Nasional Tbk (AAA(idn)) in Indonesia. Fitch expects the pace of offshore business expansion to slow down, given the higher capital requirements under the Basel III. Modest and Manageable Market Risk SMFG has the strongest risk resilience against major key securities holdings JGBs, foreign bonds, and equity among its mega-bank peers. JGB and equity holdings as a percentage of FCC had dropped to 83% and 16%, respectively, as of end-december 217 (mega-bank average: 125% and 17%), from 143% and 26%, respectively, at FYE14, due to a reduction in holdings and improved capitalisation. Further improvement is planned as the group has committed to sell its strategic shareholdings to about 14% of CET1 by around 22 (from 28% at end-september 215). The risk in foreign bonds has increased with relatively longer duration, representing 68% (mega average: 13%) of FCC for the same period (62% at FYE14), while overall risk resilience has remained manageable. (Please also refer to the Special Report (Japanese Mega Banks Securities Holdings October 217). Credit Underwriting Standards in Line with Industry Practice There have been no significant changes in the bank s underwriting standards over the past few years, and it is unlikely to make rapid changes in its standards in the short to medium term. That said, the Japanese major banks are known to have a large exposure to domestic corporates with thin interest margins. The bank s highest concentration is in residential loans (18%), followed by real estate (11%). SMFG s NPL and credit cost/loan ratios have been in line with industry peers, although the group has higher exposure to SMEs, reflecting robust and conservative risk controls. Credit-risk appetite for non-loan exposure is limited, with AFS representing about 13% of total assets (4% in equity holdings and corporate bonds combined).

Net interest income remains subdued, but a buffer would be rising fee income from other businesses (such as securities, credit cards and consumer finance representing 55% of net fees and commission for 1HFYE18) through cross-selling and collaboration among group companies. Fitch sees SMFG s profit in FYE19 remaining modest, supported by continued cost control, low credit costs and net gains from equity sales to resolve cross-shareholdings.

Fitch expects SMFG s capitalisation to improve consistently and modestly through accumulation of retained earnings. Basel III Finalisation Impact is Manageable Fitch believes that the recent finalisation of Basel III reforms would result in RWA inflation for SMFG, given the group s high proportion of corporate loans and sizeable equity holdings (albeit declining). SMFG estimates its RWA inflation to be around 25% should it be adopted promptly. Fitch expects the actual impact to be limited as SMFG, like its mega-bank peers, has sufficient time to build up capital through modest internal capital generation and partially reduce RWA from asset-growth control to meet the final reforms by 227. In 217, SMFG announced the reorganisation of its ownership structure in some of its subsidiaries to improve capital efficiency (about JPY7 trillion reduction in RWA). Fitch thinks SMFG will also continue to build risk buffers by issuing TLAC debt to diverse the investor base, although it has been in adherence with the TLAC requirements of 219 and 222 since end-september 216, based on Fitch s estimates. 4

Excess liquidity is kept as cash or invested partially in JGBs, which provides ample flexibility if needed. SMFG s FC loans/deposit ratio remains above 12%, albeit down from 17% at FYE13 due to higher FC deposits in overseas markets and FC debt issuance. SMFG s asset-liability maturity gap is large, like most Japanese banks, with short-term deposits funding long-term loans, but is mitigated by the loyalty of long-term retail depositors in Japan. Liquidity coverage was 128% as of end-december 217, reflecting a stable liquidity source (such as cash representing more than 2% of total assets since 214). Support Fitch views the probability of sovereign support for systemically important financial institutions in Japan will remain extremely high, even though there is a global trend towards reducing the extent of sovereign support for banks and, notwithstanding the Japanese G-SIBs implementing global TLAC requirements. The effective TLAC thresholds for the Japanese banks are lower, however, as pre-emptive support under the Deposit Insurance Act (DIA) counts against them. Holding Companies SMFG s rating is equalised with the ratings of its main operating bank, SMBC, reflecting its role as a holding company, functional interconnectedness, the regulator's group-level focus, and Fitch s expectation that double leverage (calculation: holding company s equity investments in subsidiaries and associates divided by holding company s equity) will be maintained below 12%. SMFG has managed down its double leverage to 113% as of September 217, from 134% at September 213, from accumulation of retained earnings, while equity investment in subsidiaries has remained flat. Fitch expects SMFG to maintain double leverage below 12%. Debt Ratings SMFG's US dollar-denominated Basel III-compliant Tier 2 subordinated bonds anchor rating, which best reflects non-performance risk, is the higher of the VR (a) or support-driven Long- Term IDR (A-). Fitch believes that support can be factored into such instrument ratings because under Japan s DIA, the government can pre-emptively provide support to a solvent bank holding company when a serious systemic disruption is anticipated. The two-notch downward adjustment from the VR reflects the prospect of the full and permanent write-down of the securities upon reaching the point of non-viability, resulting in additional loss severity. 4 2 6..7.79 1.35.8 6.75.7.79 1.35 1.13 Requiredª SMFG Requiredᵇ SMFG a Including DIF contribution (RWA 2.5% equivalent amount) b Including DIF contribution (RWA 3.5% equivalent amount) Source: Fitch, bank 5

The ratings above were solicited and assigned or maintained at the request of the rated entity/issuer or a related third party. Any exceptions follow below. ALL FITCH CREDIT RATINGS ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS. PLEASE READ THESE LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS BY FOLLOWING THIS LINK: HTTPS://FITCHRATINGS.COM/UNDERSTANDINGCREDITRATINGS.

Reproduction or retransmission in whole or in part is prohibited except by permission. All rights reserved. In issuing and maintaining its ratings and in making other reports (including forecast information), Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch s factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third-party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch s ratings and reports should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing its ratings and its reports, Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial statements and attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings and forecasts of financial and other information are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and predictions about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts. As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings and forecasts can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating or forecast was issued or affirmed. The information in this report is provided as is without any representation or warranty of any kind, and Fitch does not represent or warrant that the report or any of its contents will meet any of the requirements of a recipient of the report. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report. The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared authorship. Individuals identified in a Fitch report were involved in, but are not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The individuals are named for contact purposes only. A report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1, to US$75, (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$1, to US$1,5, (or the applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its name as an expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2 of the United Kingdom, or the securities laws of any particular jurisdiction. Due to the relative efficiency of electronic publishing and distribution, Fitch research may be available to electronic subscribers up to three days earlier than to print subscribers. For Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan and South Korea only: Fitch Australia Pty Ltd holds an Australian financial services license (AFS license no. 337123) which authorizes it to provide credit ratings to wholesale clients only.
