Table 8: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
	September 30, 2021				September 30, 2020
	(Unaudited, Dollar amounts in thousands)
Total equity	$	7,932,730			$	5,094,812
Add: Adjustment due to CECL capital relief (c)	1,729,366				1,842,536
Deduct: Goodwill, intangibles, and other assets, net of deferred tax liabilities	156,942				159,907
Deduct: Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net	(31,194)				(56,882)
Tier 1 common capital	$	9,536,348			$	6,834,323
Risk weighted assets (a)(c)	48,830,527				49,882,540
Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio (b)(c)	19.5%				13.7%

(a)	Under the banking agencies' risk-based capital guidelines, assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to broad risk categories. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is multiplied by the associated risk weight of the category. The resulting weighted values are added together with the measure for market risk, resulting in the Company's total Risk weighted assets.
(b)	CET1 is calculated under Basel III regulations required as of January 1, 2015. The fully phased-in capital ratios are non-GAAP financial measures.
(c)	As described in our 2020 annual report on Form 10-K, on January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("CECL"), which upon adoption resulted in a reduction to our opening retained earnings balance, net of income tax, and increase to the allowance for credit losses of approximately $2 billion. As also described in our 2019 10-K, the U.S. banking agencies in December 2018 had approved a final rule to address the impact of CECL on regulatory capital by allowing banking organizations, including the Company, the option to phase in the day-one impact of CECL until the first quarter of 2023. In March 2020, the U.S. banking agencies issued an interim final rule that provides banking organizations with an alternative option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL's effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology's effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period. The Company elected this alternative option instead of the one described in the December 2018 rule.
