Performance of the brand

The Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) is a holding company of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., comprising several commercial banks, credit card companies, investment trust companies, as well as the U.S. based Union Bank. The Group is divided into the four divisions Retail, Corporate, Global and Trust Assets and aims to be the leading financial group in terms of service and reliability and global coverage.

During the Group’s fiscal year 2010 (FY 2010, ended March 31, 2011), MUFG’s revenues had to suffer from the weakening Japanese economy after the government decided to cut down its economic stimulus packages as the Yen continued to appreciate against major foreign currencies. As a result, the country’s exports have been negatively influenced. In addition, both MUFG and the Japanese economy were hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, which will continue to impact major industries. Thus, in FY 2010, MFUG’s net income decreased by 46.3% to ¥461,796. However, the Group’s brand value still increased from $6,393 in 2010 to $7,336 in 2011, although it can be expected to be negatively influenced by the impacts of the earthquake in the 2012 league table.

Seeing itself as member of both its local and international community, MUFG actively contributes to social and environmental projects. This can for instance cover the “Next Generation Leaders Training Program for Asia”, teaching organic farming to youth in developing countries in Asia, or charity events such as the “Walk for Millions – Hong Kong”, donating over 232,000 Hong Kong dollars to charities supporting persons with disabilities, as well as the social reintegration of criminals and former drug addicts.

The following year will remain challenging for the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. The Group’s income statement will certainly feel the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, as well as the weakening economy. It can be expected that also MUFG’s brand and enterprise value will be influenced within the 2012 brand valuation.
