Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its subsidiaries (the “Firm”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Firm as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Firm maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Firm’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Firm’s consolidated financial statements and on the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Firm in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial

statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Allowance for Loan Losses – Portfolio-Based Component of the Wholesale and Credit Card Retained Loan Portfolios

As described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2025, the allowance for loan losses for the portfolio-based component of the wholesale and credit card retained loan portfolios was $7.6 billion and $15.6 billion, respectively, on total portfolio-based wholesale and credit card retained loans of $788.0 billion and $247.8 billion, respectively. The Firm’s allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the remaining expected life of the Firm's retained loan portfolios. The portfolio-based component begins with a quantitative calculation that covers expected credit losses over a loan’s expected life. The expected credit losses are derived using a weighted average of five internally developed macroeconomic scenarios over an eight-quarter forecast period. As disclosed by management, one of the most significant judgments involved in estimating the allowance for loan losses relates to the forecasted macroeconomic variables used to estimate credit losses over the eight-quarter forecast period within management’s methodology. The significant forecasted macroeconomic variables for the consumer portfolio include regional U.S. unemployment rates and U.S. HPI. The significant forecasted macroeconomic variables for the wholesale portfolio include U.S. unemployment, U.S. real GDP growth rate, U.S. equity prices, U.S. interest rates, U.S. corporate credit spreads, oil prices, U.S. commercial real estate prices and U.S. HPI.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the allowance for loan losses for the portfolio-based component of the wholesale and credit card retained loan portfolios is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the allowance for loan losses related to the portfolio-based component of the wholesale and credit card retained loan portfolios; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and

effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the U.S. unemployment and the U.S. real GDP growth rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the allowance for loan losses related to the portfolio-based component of the wholesale and credit card retained loan portfolios, including controls over the development of the forecasted macroeconomic variables. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the allowance for loan losses related to the portfolio-based component of the wholesale and credit card retained loan portfolios (ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of certain data used in developing the forecasted macroeconomic variables and (iii) the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating (a) the appropriateness of the methodology used by management in developing the forecasted macroeconomic variables and (b) the reasonableness of the U.S. unemployment and the U.S. real GDP growth rate assumptions.

Fair Value of Certain Level 3 Financial Instruments

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2025, the Firm had certain financial instruments which included $2.4 billion of deposits, $5.6 billion of short-term borrowings and $46.7 billion of long-term debt, which aremeasured at fair value on a recurring basis and are classified as level 3. Financial instruments valued using internally developed valuation models and other valuation techniques that use significant unobservable inputs are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The principal valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used by management to measure the fair value of certain level 3 financial instruments include the following internally developed valuation models: (i) option pricing, which uses unobservable inputs related to interest rate volatility, Bermudan switch value, interest rate correlation, interest rate-to-foreign exchange correlation, equity volatility, equity correlation, equity-to-foreign exchange correlation and equity-to-interest rate correlation and (ii) discounted cash flows, which uses unobservable inputs related to credit correlation, credit spread, recovery rate, yield and loss severity.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the fair value of certain level 3 financial instruments is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of certain level

3 financial instruments; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the aforementioned unobservable inputs; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the fair value estimate of certain level 3 financial instruments, including controls over the aforementioned unobservable inputs. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing the completeness and accuracy of certain data provided by management and (ii) the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of management’s estimate by (a) developing an independent estimate of the fair value for a sample of certain level 3 financial instruments using independently developed unobservable inputs and (b) comparing the independent estimate of the fair value to management’s estimate.
