contains forward-looking statements about U.S. Bancorp. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and are based on the information available to, and assumptions and estimates made by, management as of the date hereof. These forward-looking statements cover, among other things, anticipated future revenue and expenses and the future plans and prospects of U.S. Bancorp. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. The

COVID-19

pandemic is adversely affecting U.S. Bancorp, its customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on its business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects is uncertain. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s revenues and the values of its assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions, lead to a tightening of credit, and increase stock price volatility. In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices could affect U.S. Bancorp in substantial and unpredictable ways. U.S. Bancorp’s results could also be adversely affected by changes in interest rates; further increases in unemployment rates; deterioration in the credit quality of its loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of its investment securities; legal and regulatory developments; litigation; increased competition from both banks and

non-banks;

~~changes in the level of tariffs and other trade policies of the United States and its global trading partners;~~ civil unrest; changes in customer behavior and preferences; breaches in data ~~security;~~security, including as a result of work-from-home arrangements; failures to safeguard personal information; effects of mergers and acquisitions and related integration; effects of critical accounting policies and judgments; and management’s ability to effectively manage credit risk, market risk, operational risk, compliance risk, strategic risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and reputation risk.

For discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, refer to ~~the other information in this report, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and~~ U.S. Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled “Corporate Risk Profile” and “Risk Factors” contained in Exhibit 13, and all subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, factors other than these risks also could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s results, and the reader should not consider these risks to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and U.S. Bancorp undertakes no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

OVERVIEW

Earnings Summary

U.S. Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) reported net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp of ~~$1.6~~$2.0 billion for the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, or ~~$0.99~~$1.28 per diluted common share, compared with ~~$1.9 billion,~~$689 million, or ~~$1.15~~$0.41 per diluted common share, for the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were ~~1.17~~1.44 percent and ~~12.8~~16.3 percent, respectively, for the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~1.57~~0.51 percent and ~~15.3~~5.3 percent, respectively, for the ~~third quarter of 2019. During a challenging period adversely impacted by the~~

~~COVID-19~~

pandemic, the Company’s diversified business generated growth in net revenue and supported a provision for credit losses of $635 million including a $120 million increase in the allowance for credit losses primarily to recognize the expected credit losses of an acquired credit card portfolio in the thirdsecond quarter of 2020.

Total net revenue for the ~~third~~second quarter of 2021 was $55 million (0.9 percent) lower than the second quarter of 2020, ~~was $44 million (0.7 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2019,~~ reflecting a ~~3.7 percent increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a 1.6~~2.0 percent decrease in net interest income (1.9 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis) and a 0.2 percent increase in noninterest income. The decrease in net interest income from the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2019~~2020 was primarily due to the impact of lower interest rates ~~from a~~compared with the prior year ~~ago,~~and declining average loan balances, partially offset by changes in deposit and funding mix ~~and~~as well as higher loan ~~growth.~~fees related to the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program. The noninterest income increase was driven by significant growth in mortgage banking revenue due to refinancing production and strong growth in commercial products revenue due to capital markets activities. Growth in these fee categories was partially offset by a declineimprovements in payment services revenue, ~~and~~ deposit service charges ~~related to lower consumer~~ and ~~commercial spending. Additionally,~~ other noninterest income, ~~declined from the third quarter of 2019 due to~~mostly offset by lower ~~equity investment income, lower~~

~~tax-advantaged~~

~~investment syndication~~mortgage banking revenue, commercial products revenue and ~~certain asset impairments as a result of expected branch closures.~~securities gains.

Noninterest expense in the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$227~~$69 million ~~(7.2~~(2.1 percent) higher than the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2019,~~2020, reflecting ~~costs related to~~

~~COVID-19~~

~~and an increase in revenue-related production expenses in the third quarter of 2020. Additionally, noninterest expense reflected an increase~~increases in personnel ~~costs~~expense, primarily related to performance-based incentive compensation and employee benefits expense driven by substantially improving financial results, as well as higher technology and communications expense ~~related to developing digital capabilities~~ and ~~related~~marketing and business ~~investment, as well as an increase in other noninterest~~development expense, partially offset by lower ~~marketing~~net occupancy and ~~business development~~equipment expense and ~~lower professional services~~other noninterest expense.

The provision for credit losses for the ~~third~~second quarter of 2021 was a benefit of $170 million, which was $1.9 billion lower than the second quarter of 2020, ~~of $635 million was $268 million (73.0 percent) higher than~~driven by a decrease in the ~~third~~allowance for credit losses during the second quarter of ~~2019, reflecting~~2021 as a result of improvement in credit quality and the global economy, compared with an increase in the allowance for credit losses during the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2020 primarily to recognize the expected losses within the acquired State Farm Bank credit card portfolio.~~2020. Net charge-offs in the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2020~~2021 were ~~$515~~$180 million, compared with ~~$352~~$437 million in the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$3.4~~$4.3 billion, or ~~$2.11~~$2.73 per diluted common share, compared with ~~$5.4~~$1.9 billion, or ~~$3.25~~$1.12 per diluted common share, for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2019.~~2020. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were ~~0.87~~1.56 percent and ~~9.3~~17.6 percent, respectively, for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~1.54~~0.72 percent and ~~14.9~~7.5 percent, respectively, for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2019.~~2020.

Total net revenue for the first ~~nine~~six months of 2021 was $357 million (3.1 percent) lower than the first six months of 2020, ~~was $255 million (1.5 percent) higher than the first nine months of 2019,~~ reflecting a ~~6.2 percent increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a 2.0~~3.5 percent decrease in net interest income (3.4 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis) and a 2.7 percent decrease in noninterest income. The decrease in net interest income from the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2019~~2020 was primarily due to the impact of lower interest rates compared with the prior year, declining average loan balances and higher premium amortization in the investment portfolio related to mortgage refinance activities, partially offset by changes in deposit and funding mix ~~and~~as well as higher loan ~~growth.~~fees related to the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program. The noninterest income ~~increase~~decrease was driven by ~~significant growth in~~lower mortgage banking revenue, ~~and~~ commercial products revenue ~~as well as increases~~and securities gains, partially offset by improvements in payment services revenue, trust and investment management fees and gains on the sale of investment securities. Growth in these fee categories was partially offset by a decline in payment services revenue and deposit service charges related to lower consumer and commercial spending. Additionally, other noninterest ~~income declined from the prior year due to lower equity investment income, lower~~income.

~~tax-advantaged~~

~~investment syndication revenue and certain asset impairments, partially offset by gains on sale of certain businesses in the first nine months of 2020.~~

Noninterest expense in the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$621~~$132 million ~~(6.6~~(2.0 percent) higher than the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2019,~~2020, reflecting ~~costs related to~~

STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was ~~$3.3~~$3.2 billion in the ~~third~~second quarter and ~~$9.7~~$6.3 billion in the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020,~~2021, representing decreases of ~~$54~~$60 million ~~(1.6~~(1.9 percent) and ~~$201~~$218 million ~~(2.0~~(3.4 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of ~~2019.~~2020. The decreases were ~~principally driven by~~primarily due to the impact of lower interest rates ~~from~~compared with the prior year and lower loan volumes, partially offset by changes in deposit and funding mix and loan growth. The Company expects net interest income to be relatively flat or decline slightly in the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared with the third quarter of 2020, reflecting the expected continued low interest rate environment and its impact on the rates earned on reinvested securities, as well as higher loan fees. Net interest income further decreased in the first six months of 2021, compared with the first six months of 2020, due to higher premium amortization ~~within the investment~~related to securities ~~portfolio.~~prepayments. Average earning assets were ~~$50.4~~$6.6 billion ~~(11.6~~(1.3 percent) higher in the ~~third~~second quarter and ~~$48.6~~$28.3 billion ~~(11.4~~(6.0 percent) higher in the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with the same periods of ~~2019,~~2020, reflecting increases in ~~loans,~~ investment securities ~~and~~while average loans decreased due to continued paydowns by corporate customers that accessed the capital markets. The increase in average earning assets in the second quarter of 2021, compared with the second quarter of 2020, was further offset by lower other earning assets, primarily ~~representing~~driven by lower cash ~~balances.~~balances as the Company continues to purchase mortgage-backed, U.S. Treasury and state and political securities. The net interest margin, on a taxable-equivalent basis, in the ~~third~~second quarter and first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020~~2021 was ~~2.67~~2.53 percent and ~~2.73~~2.52 percent, respectively, compared with ~~3.02~~2.62 percent and ~~3.10~~2.76 percent in the ~~third~~second quarter and first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The decrease in net interest margin from the prior year was primarily due to the ~~impact~~mix of ~~lower interest rates, changes in the yield curve, a decision to maintain higher cash balances for liquidity~~earning assets and higher premium amortization within the investment portfolio, partially offset by the net benefit of ~~changes in~~funding composition and higher loan mix and deposit and funding mix. The Company expects downward pressure on its net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2020 due to its expectation to maintain higher liquidity levels resulting from the acquisition of approximately $10 billion of deposit balances from State Farm Bank in early October 2020.fees. Refer to the “Consolidated Daily Average Balance Sheet and Related Yields and Rates” tables for further information on net interest income.

Average total loans in the ~~third~~second quarter and first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020~~2021 were ~~$18.6~~$23.8 billion ~~(6.4~~(7.5 percent) and ~~$19.7~~$13.7 billion ~~(6.8~~(4.5 percent) lower, respectively, than the same periods of 2020. The decreases were primarily due to lower commercial loans driven by continued paydowns by corporate customers that accessed the capital markets, lower commercial real estate loans as a result of customer paydowns, and lower credit card loans driven by higher customer payment rates. These decreases were partially offset by growth in residential mortgages driven by loan repurchases from the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), as well as growth in other retail loans. The increase in other retail loans reflected growth in installment loans due to the impact of

COVID-19

on recreational vehicle sales, partially offset by lower home equity and second mortgages as more customers chose to refinance their existing first lien residential mortgage balances during the prior year due to the low interest rate environment.

Average investment securities in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 were $39.7 billion (32.9 percent) and $32.3 billion (26.7 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2019. The increases were primarily due to higher commercial loans, reflecting the utilization of bank credit facilities by customers to support liquidity requirements as well as the impact of loans made under the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program, along with growth in residential mortgages given the lower interest rate environment and higher Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) buybacks, and higher commercial real estate loans. These increases were partially offset by lower credit card loans reflecting the net impact of lower consumer spending during the first nine months of 2020, ~~partially offset by the acquisition of the credit card portfolio in the third quarter of 2020, as well as lower other retail loans.~~

~~Average investment securities in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 were $11.4 billion (9.7 percent) and $7.8 billion (6.8 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2019,~~ primarily due to purchases of mortgage-backed, U.S. Treasury and state and political securities, net of prepayments and maturities.

Average total deposits for the ~~third~~second quarter and first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020~~2021 were ~~$55.6~~$25.9 billion ~~(15.9~~(6.4 percent) and ~~$47.0~~$44.7 billion ~~(13.7~~(11.7 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of ~~2019.~~2020, including the acquisition of deposit balances from State Farm Bank in the fourth quarter of 2020. Average noninterest-bearing deposits for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 were $30.2 billion (31.7 percent) and $37.2 billion (44.0 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2020, reflecting increases across all business lines. Average total savings deposits for the ~~third~~second quarter and first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020~~2021 were ~~$29.3~~$14.4 billion ~~(12.6~~(5.4 percent) and ~~$33.1~~$24.1 billion ~~(14.7~~(9.4 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of the prior year, driven by increases in Consumer and Business Banking ~~and~~balances, partially offset by decreases in Corporate and Commercial Banking balances. The increase in average total savings deposits for the first nine months of 2020, compared with the first nine months of 2019, was also due to higher Wealth Management and Investment Services balances. Average noninterest-bearing deposits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 were $34.8 billion (46.6 percent) and $19.2 billion (26.1 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2019, primarily due to increases in Corporate and Commercial Banking, Consumer and Business Banking, and Wealth Management and Investment Services balances. The growth in average noninterest-bearing and total savings ~~and noninterest-bearing~~ deposits was primarily a result of the actions by the federal government to increase liquidity in the financial system ~~customers maintaining balance sheet liquidity by utilizing existing credit facilities~~ and government stimulus programs. Average time deposits for the ~~third~~second quarter and first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020~~2021 were ~~$8.5~~$18.7 billion ~~(19.9~~(43.0 percent) and ~~$5.3~~$16.5 billion ~~(11.8~~(39.0 percent) lower, respectively, than the same periods of ~~the prior year,~~2020, primarily driven by decreases in those deposits managed as an alternative to other funding sources, based largely on relative pricing and liquidity characteristics.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was ~~$635~~a benefit of $170 million for the ~~third~~second quarter and ~~$3.4 billion~~$997 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020,~~2021, representing ~~increases~~decreases of ~~$268 million (73.0 percent)~~$1.9 billion and ~~$2.3~~$3.7 billion, respectively, from the same periods of ~~2019. In March 2020 economic conditions began to deteriorate, and continued to worsen in~~2020. The decreases were driven by the ~~second quarter of 2020, due to the impact of the~~

~~COVID-19~~

health crisis. During the third quarter of 2020, economic conditions began to moderate as economic projections for both the gross domestic product and unemployment levels improved from the second quarter. The Company ~~recognized an increase of $2.0 billion in~~decreasing the allowance for credit losses ~~during~~in 2021 as a result of improvement in credit quality and the ~~first nine months of 2020 due to~~global economy, compared with the ~~deteriorating and ongoing effects of these adverse economic conditions. The~~ Company ~~recognized an increase of $120 million in~~increasing the allowance for credit losses ~~during the third quarter of~~in 2020 ~~primarily reflecting the expected losses within the State Farm Bank credit card portfolio acquired during the period.~~ due to deteriorating economic conditions related to

COVID-19.

Net charge-offs ~~increased $163~~decreased $257 million ~~(46.3~~(58.8 percent) and ~~$276~~$427 million ~~(25.8~~(51.4 percent) in the ~~third~~second quarter and first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, compared with the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to ~~higher~~lower credit card, commercial ~~loan, commercial real estate loan~~ and ~~retail leasing net charge-offs, partially offset by a decrease in~~ other retail loan net charge-offs. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was ~~$2.7~~$2.6 billion in the ~~third~~second quarter and ~~$7.9~~$5.0 billion in the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020,~~2021, representing ~~increases~~an increase of ~~$98~~$5 million ~~(3.7~~(0.2 percent) and ~~$456~~a decrease of $139 million ~~(6.2~~(2.7 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of ~~2019.~~2020. The ~~increases~~changes from a year ago reflected higher payment services revenue, trust and investment management fees and other noninterest income, offset by lower mortgage banking revenue, commercial products revenue and ~~trust and investment management fees, partially offset by lower payment services revenue, deposit service charges and other noninterest income. The~~securities gains. In addition, the increase in noninterest income in the second quarter of 2021, compared with the second quarter of 2020, reflected higher deposit services charges. During 2020, payment services revenue had been adversely affected by the impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic on consumer and business spending, particularly related to travel and entertainment activities. However, spending has continued to strengthen across most sectors driven by government stimulus, local jurisdictions reducing restrictions and consumer behaviors normalizing. As a result, payment services revenue increased in the second quarter and first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with the same periods of 2020. The components of payment services revenue included strong growth in credit and debit card revenue driven by higher net interchange revenue related to sales volume and prepaid card processing activities related to government stimulus programs as well as stronger transaction and cash advance fees. Corporate payment products revenue increased primarily due to improving business spending, while merchant processing services revenue increased driven by higher sales volume. Trust and investment management fees increased primarily due to business growth and favorable market conditions. Other noninterest income increased primarily due to higher retail leasing end of term residual gains and related fees and higher

tax-advantaged

investment syndication revenue. The increase in other noninterest income in the first six months of 2021, compared with the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2019,~~2020, was ~~also due to higher~~partially offset by lower gains on sales of ~~investment securities.~~certain businesses in the first six months of 2021. Deposit service charges increased in the second quarter of 2021, compared with the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to higher customer activity and ATM processing revenue. Mortgage banking revenue ~~increased due to higher mortgage loan~~decreased in the second quarter of 2021, compared with the second quarter of 2020, driven by lower production volume and ~~stronger~~related gain on sale margins, partially offset by ~~declines~~increases in mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) valuations, net of hedging activities. The ~~Company expects~~decrease in mortgage banking revenue ~~to decline~~ in the ~~fourth quarter~~first six months of ~~2020, as~~2021, compared with the ~~third quarter~~first six months of 2020, ~~reflecting slower refinancing activity for the industry~~was due to lower production volume and ~~seasonality~~related gain on sale margins, along with declines in MSR valuations, net of ~~home sales.~~hedging activities. Commercial products revenue increased primarily due to higher corporate bond issuance fees and trading revenue. Trust and investment management fees were higher due to business growth and favorable market conditions over the past year. Payment services fee revenue decreased ~~reflecting lower merchant processing services revenue and corporate payment products revenue, driven by lower sales volume due to the worldwide impact of the~~

~~COVID-19~~

pandemic on consumer and business spending. Credit and debit card revenue was higher in the third quarter of 2020, compared with the third quarter of 2019, reflecting significantly higher prepaid card fees related to the delayed impact of government stimulus programs adopted in the second quarter and first six months of 2020. Payment services revenue is likely to continue to be adversely affected through the remainder of 2020 due to reduced consumer and business spending activity, as well as lower expected prepaid card volume in the fourth quarter of 2020, as2021, compared with the ~~third quarter~~same periods of ~~2020.

higher FDIC insurance expense driven by an increase in the assessment base, and higher state franchise taxes. The increase in other noninterest expense in the first nine months of 2020, compared with the first nine months of 2019, was partially offset byairline processing, as well as lower costs related to

tax-advantaged

projects and lower Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance expense in ~~2020. Incremental costs related to~~

~~COVID-19~~

include increased liabilities driven by the Company’s exposure as a credit card processor to charge-back risk on undelivered goods and services, including prepaid airline tickets, as well as expenses related to paying premium compensation to front-line workers and providing a safe working environment for employees. Professional services expense decreased primarily due to business initiatives completed in 2019, while marketing and business development expense decreased due to the timing of marketing campaigns and a reduction in travel as a result of

~~COVID-19.~~

~~The Company expects its noninterest expenses to be relatively stable for the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared with the third quarter of 2020.~~2021.

characteristics, along with a decrease in Consumer and Business Banking balances. Money market deposit balances decreased $14.8 billion (11.5 percent) at June 30, 2021, compared with December 31, 2020, primarily due to lower Wealth Management and Investment Services, and Corporate and Commercial Banking balances. Interest checking balances increased $6.6 billion (6.9 percent), driven by higher Consumer and Business Banking, and Wealth Management and Investment Services balances. Savings account balances increased $5.4 billion (9.5 percent), primarily due to higher Consumer and Business Banking balances.

Borrowings

The Company utilizes both short-term and long-term borrowings as part of its asset/liability management and funding strategies. Short-term borrowings, which include federal funds purchased, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, borrowings secured by high-grade assets and other short-term borrowings, were ~~$13.7~~$13.4 billion at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$23.7~~$11.8 billion at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The ~~$10.0~~$1.6 billion ~~(42.2~~(14.0 percent) ~~decrease~~increase in short-term borrowings was primarily due to higher commercial paper balances. Long-term debt was $36.4 billion at June 30, 2021, compared with $41.3 billion at December 31, 2020.

CORPORATE RISK PROFILE

Overview

Managing risks is an essential part of successfully operating a financial services company. The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a risk management framework which establishes governance and risk management requirements for all risk-taking activities. This framework includes Company and business line risk appetite statements which set boundaries for the types and amount of risk that may be undertaken in pursuing business objectives and initiatives. The Board of Directors, primarily through its Risk Management Committee, oversees performance relative to the risk management framework, risk appetite statements, and other policy requirements.

The Executive Risk Committee (“ERC”), which is chaired by the Chief Risk Officer and includes the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the executive management team, oversees execution against the risk management framework and risk appetite statements. The ERC focuses on current and emerging risks, including strategic and reputation risks, by directing timely and comprehensive actions. Senior operating committees have also been established, each responsible for overseeing a specified category of risk.

The Company’s most prominent risk exposures are credit, interest rate, market, liquidity, operational, compliance, strategic, and reputation. Leveraging the Company’s risk management framework, the specific impacts of

COVID-19

and related risks are identified for each of the most prominent exposures. ~~Oversight~~With respect to direct impacts from

COVID-19,

oversight and governance is managed through a centralized command center ~~which escalates through~~with frequent reporting to the Managing Committee and ERC. The Board of Directors also oversees the Company’s responsiveness to the

COVID-19

pandemic. Credit risk is the risk of ~~not collecting~~loss associated with a change in the ~~interest and/~~credit profile or the ~~principal balance~~failure of a ~~loan, investment~~borrower or ~~derivative contract when it is due.~~counterparty to meet its contractual obligations. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income or market valuations as a result of changes in interest rates. Market risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and security prices that may result in changes in the values of financial

instruments, such as trading and

available-for-sale

securities, mortgage loans held for sale (“MLHFS”), MSRs and derivatives that are accounted for on a fair value basis. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations or new business at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner. Operational risk is the risk to current or projected financial condition and resilience arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, people (including human errors or misconduct), or adverse external events, including the risk of loss resulting from breaches in data security. Operational risk can also include the risk of loss due to failures by third parties with which the Company does business. Compliance risk is the risk that the Company may suffer legal or regulatory sanctions, financial losses, and reputational damage if it fails to adhere to compliance ~~requirements.~~requirements and the Company’s compliance policies. Strategic risk is the risk to current or projected financial condition arising from adverse business decisions, poor implementation of business decisions, or lack of responsiveness to changes in the banking industry and operating environment. Reputation risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings, capital, or franchise or enterprise value arising from negative public opinion. This risk may impair the Company’s competitiveness by affecting its ability to establish new relationships or services, ~~offer new services~~ or continue serving existing relationships. In addition to the risks identified above, other risk factors exist that may impact the Company. Refer to “Risk Factors” in ~~this report and in~~ the Company’s Annual Report on Form

The Company’s Board and management-level governance committees are supported by a “three lines of defense” model for establishing effective checks and balances. The first line of defense, the business lines, manages risks in conformity with established limits and policy requirements. In turn, business line leaders and their risk officers establish programs to ensure conformity with these limits and policy requirements. The second line of defense, which includes the Chief Risk Officer’s organization as well as policy and oversight activities of corporate support functions, translates risk appetite and strategy into actionable risk limits and policies. The second line of defense monitors first line of defense conformity with limits and policies, and provides reporting and escalation of emerging risks and other concerns to senior management and the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors. The third line of defense, internal audit, is responsible for providing the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and senior management with independent assessment and assurance regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s governance, risk management and control processes.

Management regularly provides reports to the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors. The Risk Management Committee discusses with management the Company’s risk management performance, and provides a summary of key risks to the entire Board of Directors, covering the status of existing matters, areas of potential future concern and specific information on certain types of loss events. The Risk Management Committee considers quarterly reports by management assessing the Company’s performance relative to the risk appetite statements and the associated risk limits, including:

Macroeconomic environment and other qualitative considerations, such as regulatory and compliance changes, litigation developments, and technology and cybersecurity;

Credit measures, including adversely rated and nonperforming loans, leveraged transactions, credit concentrations and lending limits;

Interest rate and market risk, including market value and net income simulation, and trading-related Value at Risk (“VaR”);

Liquidity risk, including funding projections under various stressed scenarios;

Operational and compliance risk, including losses stemming from events such as fraud, processing errors, control breaches, breaches in data security or adverse business decisions, as well as reporting on technology performance, and various legal and regulatory compliance measures;

Capital ratios and projections, including regulatory measures and stressed scenarios; and

Strategic and reputation risk considerations, impacts and responses.

Credit Risk Management

The Company’s strategy for credit risk management includes well-defined, centralized credit policies, uniform underwriting criteria, and ongoing risk monitoring and review processes for all commercial and consumer credit exposures. In evaluating its credit risk, the Company considers changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), collateral values, trends in loan performance and macroeconomic factors, such as changes in unemployment rates, gross domestic product levels and consumer bankruptcy filings, as well as the potential impact on customers and the domestic economy resulting from ~~new tariffs or increases in existing tariffs, and~~ the

COVID-19

pandemic. The Risk Management Committee oversees the Company’s credit risk management process.

In addition, credit quality ratings as defined by the Company, are an important part of the Company’s overall credit risk management and evaluation of its allowance for credit losses. Loans with a pass rating represent those loans not classified on the Company’s rating scale for problem credits, as minimal credit risk has been identified. Loans with a special mention or classified rating, including consumer lending and small business loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing, nonaccrual loans, those loans considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), and loans in a junior lien position that are current but are behind a ~~modified or delinquent loan in a~~ first lien position on nonaccrual, encompass all loans held by the Company that it considers to have a potential or well-defined weakness that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. The Company’s internal credit quality ratings for consumer loans are primarily based on delinquency and nonperforming status, except for a limited population of larger loans within those portfolios that are individually evaluated. For this limited population, the determination of the internal credit quality rating may also consider collateral value and customer cash flows. Refer to Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Company’s loan portfolios including internal credit quality ratings. In addition, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Credit Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on

The Company manages its credit risk, in part, through diversification of its loan portfolio which is


U.S. Bancorp		9

Table of Contents

achieved through limit setting by product type criteria, such as industry, and identification of credit concentrations. As part of its normal business activities, the Company offers a broad array of lending products. The Company categorizes its loan portfolio into two segments, which is the level at which it develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses. The Company’s two loan portfolio segments are commercial lending and consumer lending.

The commercial lending segment includes loans and leases made to small business, middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate, financial institution,

non-profit

and public sector customers. Key risk characteristics relevant to commercial lending segment loans include the industry and geography of the borrower’s business, purpose of the loan, repayment source, borrower’s debt capacity and financial flexibility, loan covenants, and nature of pledged collateral, if any, as well as macroeconomic factors such as unemployment rates, gross domestic product levels, corporate bond spreads and long-term interest rates, all of which have been impacted by the

COVID-19

pandemic. These risk characteristics, among others, are considered in determining estimates about the likelihood of default by the borrowers and the severity of loss in the event of default. The Company considers these risk characteristics in assigning internal risk ratings to, or forecasting losses on, these loans, which are the significant factors in determining the allowance for credit losses for loans in the commercial lending segment.

The consumer lending segment represents loans and leases made to consumer customers, including residential mortgages, credit card loans, and other retail loans such as revolving consumer lines, auto loans and leases, home equity loans and lines, and student loans, a

run-off

portfolio. Home equity or second mortgage loans are junior lien

closed-end

accounts fully disbursed at origination. These loans typically are fixed rate loans, secured by residential real estate, with a

10-

15-year

fixed payment amortization schedule. Home equity lines are revolving accounts giving the borrower the ability to draw and repay balances repeatedly, up to a maximum commitment, and are secured by residential real estate. These include accounts in either a first or junior lien position. Typical terms on home equity lines in the portfolio are variable rates benchmarked to the prime rate, with a

10-

15-year

draw period during which a minimum payment is equivalent to the monthly interest, followed by a

20-

10-year

amortization period, respectively. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, substantially all of the Company’s home equity lines were in the draw period. Approximately ~~$1.4~~$1.2 billion, or 12 percent, of the outstanding home equity line balances at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, will enter the amortization period within the next 36 months. Key risk characteristics relevant to consumer lending segment loans primarily relate to the borrowers’ capacity and willingness to repay and include unemployment rates, consumer bankruptcy filings and other macroeconomic factors, customer payment history and credit scores, and in some cases, updated

loan-to-value

(“LTV”) information reflecting current market conditions on real estate-based loans. These and other risk characteristics, including ~~elevated~~ risk resulting from the

COVID-19

pandemic, are reflected in forecasts of delinquency levels, bankruptcies and losses which are the primary factors in determining the allowance for credit losses for the consumer lending segment.

The Company further disaggregates its loan portfolio segments into various classes based on their underlying risk characteristics. The two classes within the commercial lending segment are commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. The three classes within the consumer lending segment are residential mortgages, credit card loans and other retail loans.


10		~~U.S. Bancorp~~

The Company’s consumer lending segment utilizes several distinct business processes and channels to originate consumer credit, including traditional branch lending, mobile and

on-line

banking, indirect lending, alliance partnerships, correspondent banks and loan brokers. Each distinct underwriting and origination activity manages unique credit risk characteristics and prices its loan production commensurate with the differing risk profiles.

Residential mortgage originations are generally limited to prime borrowers and are performed through the Company’s branches, loan production offices, mobile and

on-line

services and a wholesale network of originators. The Company may retain residential mortgage loans it originates on its balance sheet or sell the loans into the secondary market while retaining the servicing rights and customer relationships. Utilizing the secondary markets enables the Company to effectively reduce its credit and other asset/liability risks. For residential mortgages that are retained in the Company’s portfolio and for home equity and second mortgages, credit risk is also diversified by geography and managed by adherence to LTV and borrower credit criteria during the underwriting process.

The Company estimates updated LTV information on its outstanding residential mortgages quarterly, based on a method that combines automated valuation model updates and relevant home price indices. LTV is the ratio of the loan’s outstanding principal balance to the current estimate of property value. For home equity and second mortgages, combined

loan-to-value

(“CLTV”) is the


10		U.S. Bancorp

Table of Contents

combination of the first mortgage original principal balance and the second lien outstanding principal balance, relative to the current estimate of property value. Certain loans do not have an LTV or CLTV, primarily due to lack of availability of relevant automated valuation model and/or home price indices values, or lack of necessary valuation data on acquired loans.

The following tables provide summary information of residential mortgages and home equity and second mortgages by LTV at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020:~~2021:

Loan Delinquencies

Trends in delinquency ratios are an indicator, among other considerations, of credit risk within the Company’s loan portfolios. The Company measures delinquencies, both including and excluding nonperforming loans, to enable comparability with other companies. Accruing loans 90 days or more past due totaled ~~$461~~$376 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$605~~$477 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. These balances exclude loans purchased from GNMA mortgage pools whose repayments are primarily insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. Accruing loans 90 days or more past due are not included in nonperforming assets and continue to accrue interest because they are adequately secured by collateral, are in the process of collection and are reasonably expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status, or are managed in homogeneous portfolios with specified

charge-off

timeframes adhering to regulatory guidelines. The ratio of accruing loans 90 days or more past due to total loans was ~~0.15~~0.13 percent at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021 compared with ~~0.20~~0.16 percent at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Restructured Loans

In certain circumstances, the Company may modify the terms of a loan to maximize the collection of amounts due when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties or is expected to experience difficulties in the near-term. In most cases the modification is either a concessionary reduction in interest rate, extension of the maturity date or reduction in the principal balance that would otherwise not be considered.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Concessionary modifications are classified as TDRs unless the modification results in only an insignificant delay in the payments to be received. TDRs accrue interest if the borrower complies with the revised terms and conditions and has demonstrated repayment performance at a level commensurate with the modified terms over several payment cycles, which is generally six months or greater. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, performing TDRs were $3.4 billion, compared with ~~$3.8~~$3.6 billion at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The Company continues to work with customers to modify loans for borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulties. Many of the Company’s TDRs are determined on a

case-by-case

basis in connection with ongoing loan collection processes. The modifications vary within each of the Company’s loan classes. Commercial lending segment TDRs generally include extensions of the maturity date and may be accompanied by an increase or decrease to the interest rate. The Company may also work with the borrower to make other changes to the loan to mitigate losses, such as obtaining additional collateral and/or guarantees to support the loan.

The Company has also implemented certain residential mortgage loan restructuring programs that may result in TDRs. The Company modifies residential mortgage loans under Federal Housing Administration, United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and its own internal programs. Under these programs, the Company offers qualifying homeowners the opportunity to permanently modify their loan and achieve more affordable monthly payments by providing loan concessions. These concessions may include adjustments to interest rates, conversion of adjustable rates to fixed rates, extensions of maturity dates or deferrals of payments, capitalization of accrued interest and/or outstanding advances, or in limited situations, partial forgiveness of loan principal. In most instances,


~~U.S. Bancorp~~		13

participation in residential mortgage loan restructuring programs requires the customer to complete a short-term trial period. A permanent loan modification is contingent on the customer successfully completing the trial period arrangement, and the loan documents are not modified until that time. The Company reports loans in a trial period arrangement as TDRs and continues to report them as TDRs after the trial period.

Credit card and other retail loan TDRs are generally part of distinct restructuring programs providing customers modification solutions over a specified time period, generally up to 60 months.

In accordance with regulatory guidance, the Company considers secured consumer loans that have had debt discharged through bankruptcy where the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt to be TDRs. If the loan amount exceeds the collateral value, the loan is charged down to collateral value and the remaining amount is reported as nonperforming.

Loan modifications or concessions granted to customers resulting directly from the effects of the

COVID-19

pandemic, who were otherwise in current payment status, are not considered to be TDRs.

The following table provides a summary of TDRs by loan class, including the delinquency status for TDRs that continue to accrue interest and TDRs included in nonperforming assets:

Short-term and Other Loan Modifications

The Company makes short-term and other modifications that it does not consider to be TDRs, in limited circumstances, to assist borrowers experiencing temporary hardships. Short-term consumer lending modification programs include payment reductions, deferrals of up to three past due payments, and the ability to return to current status if the borrower makes required payments. The Company may also make short-term modifications to commercial lending loans, with the most common modification being an extension of the maturity date of three months or less. Such extensions generally are used when the maturity date is imminent and the borrower is experiencing some level of financial stress, but the Company believes the borrower will pay all contractual amounts owed.

COVID-19

Payment Relief

The Company has offered payment relief, including forbearance, payment deferrals and other customer accommodations, to assist borrowers that have experienced financial hardship resulting from the effects of the

COVID-19

pandemic. The majority of these borrowers were not delinquent on payments at the time they received the payment relief. From March 2020 through ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had approved approximately ~~329,000~~389,000 loan modifications for these borrowers, representing approximately ~~$26.9~~$24.5 billion. The loans modified consisted primarily of payment forbearance or deferrals of 90 days or less. A portion of the borrowers who received account modifications are no longer participating in these payment relief programs, as the programs are generally short-term; and at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, approximately ~~91,000~~39,000 accounts, representing approximately ~~$12.1~~$5.4 billion, were currently in an active payment relief program. The recognition of delinquent or nonaccrual loans and loan net charge-offs may be delayed for those customers enrolled in these payment relief programs who would have otherwise moved into past due or nonaccrual status, as these customer accounts do not continue to age during the period the payment delay is provided.

The following table summarizes borrowers enrolled in payment relief programs as a result of the

COVID-19

pandemic at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, as a percentage of the Company’s loans and loan balances:

Note:

Payment relief generally includes payment deferrals, forbearances, extensions and

re-ages,

and excludes loans made under the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program, as amounts due under that program are expected to be fully forgiven by the SBA.

(a)

Excludes loans purchased from GNMA mortgage pools, whose repayments are primarily insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020, 58.76~~2021, 30.53 percent of the total number of accounts and ~~64.13~~32.56 percent of the total loan balances of loans purchased from GNMA mortgage pools were to borrowers enrolled in payment relief programs as a result of the

COVID-19

pandemic. Including these loans, ~~14.52~~8.59 percent of the total number of accounts and ~~13.16~~6.48 percent of the total balances of residential mortgages were to borrowers enrolled in payment relief programs as a result of the

COVID-19

pandemic. Including these loans, ~~.71~~.29 percent of the total number of accounts and ~~3.96~~1.84 percent of the total balances of all loans were to borrowers enrolled in payment relief programs as a result of the

COVID-19

pandemic.

Nonperforming Assets

The level of nonperforming assets represents another indicator of the potential for future credit losses. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans not performing in accordance with modified terms and not accruing interest, restructured loans that have not met the performance period required to return to accrual status, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other nonperforming assets owned by the Company. Interest payments collected from assets on nonaccrual status are generally applied against the principal balance and not recorded as income. However, interest income may be recognized for interest payments if the remaining carrying amount of the loan is believed to be collectible.

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, total nonperforming assets were ~~$1.3~~$1.1 billion, compared to ~~$829 million~~$1.3 billion at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The ~~$441~~$239 million ~~(53.2~~(18.4 percent) ~~increase~~decrease in nonperforming assets was driven by ~~increases~~decreases in nonperforming commercial real estate and commercial ~~real estate~~loans, partially offset by an increase in nonperforming other retail loans. The ratio of total nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate was ~~0.41~~0.36 percent at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~0.28~~0.44 percent at December 31, ~~2019. The Company expects nonperforming~~2020. Nonperforming assets are expected to ~~increase given current economic conditions.~~continue to decline over the next several quarters, but may remain elevated over a longer recovery period for certain industries and loan categories most impacted by the pandemic.

OREO was ~~$35~~$17 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$78~~$24 million at December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and was related to foreclosed properties that previously secured loan balances. These balances exclude foreclosed GNMA loans whose repayments are primarily insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.

The following table provides an analysis of OREO, as a percent of their related loan balances, including geographical location detail for residential (residential mortgage, home equity and second mortgage) and commercial (commercial and commercial real estate) loan balances:

Analysis of Loan Net Charge-Offs

Total loan net charge-offs were ~~$515~~$180 million for the ~~third~~second quarter and ~~$1.3 billion~~$403 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$352~~$437 million and ~~$1.1 billion,~~$830 million, respectively, for the same periods of ~~2019.~~2020. The year-over-year decreases in net charge-offs were primarily due to lower credit card, commercial and other retail loan net charge-offs. The ratio of total loan net charge-offs to average loans outstanding on an annualized basis for the ~~third~~second quarter and first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2020~~2021 was ~~0.66~~0.25 percent and ~~0.58~~0.28 percent, respectively, compared with ~~0.48~~0.55 percent and ~~0.49~~0.54 percent, respectively, for the same periods of ~~2019.

The allowance for credit losses is increased through provisions charged to earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. Management evaluates the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. ~~The allowance considers expected losses for the remaining lives of the applicable assets, inclusive of expected recoveries. Remaining lives of the applicable assets are adjusted for prepayments.~~ Multiple economic scenarios are considered over a three-year reasonable and supportable forecast period, which ~~incorporates~~includes increasing consideration of historical loss experience inover years two and three. These economic scenarios are constructed with interrelated projections of multiple economic variables, and loss estimates are produced that consider the historical correlation of those economic variables with credit losses. After the forecast period, the Company fully reverts to long-term historical loss experience, adjusted for prepayments and characteristics of the current loan and lease portfolio, to estimate losses over the remaining ~~lives.~~life of the portfolio. The economic scenarios are updated at least quarterly and are designed to provide a range of reasonable estimates ~~which are both~~from better ~~and~~to worse than current expectations. Scenarios are weighted based on the Company’s expectation of economic conditions for the foreseeable future ~~conditions.~~and reflect significant judgment and consideration of uncertainties that exist. Final loss estimates also consider factors affecting credit losses not reflected in the scenarios, due to the unique aspects of current conditions and expectations. These factors may include, but are not limited to, loan servicing practices, regulatory guidance, and/or fiscal and monetary policy actions. Because business processes and credit risks associated with unfunded credit commitments are essentially the same as for loans, the Company utilizes similar processes to estimate its liability for unfunded credit commitments, which is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Both the allowance for loan losses and the liability for unfunded credit commitments are included in the Company’s analysis of credit losses and reported reserve ratios.

The allowance recorded for credit losses utilizes forward-looking expected loss models to consider a variety of factors affecting lifetime credit losses. These factors include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic variables such as unemployment rates, real estate prices, gross domestic product levels and corporate bonds spreads, ~~and long-term interest rate forecasts,~~ as well as loan and borrower characteristics, such as internal risk ratings on commercial loans and consumer credit

~~commercial loans and consumer credit~~ scores, delinquency status, collateral type and available valuation information, consideration of

end-of-term

losses on lease residuals, and the remaining term of the loan, adjusted for expected prepayments. ~~Where loans do not exhibit similar risk characteristics, an individual analysis is performed to consider expected credit losses.~~ For each loan portfolio, model estimates are adjusted as necessary to consider any relevant changes in portfolio composition, lending policies, underwriting standards, risk management practices, economic conditions or other factors that ~~would~~may affect the accuracy of the model. Expected credit loss estimates also include consideration of expected cash recoveries on loans previously

charged-off

or expected recoveries on collateral-dependent loans where recovery is expected through sale of the collateral. Where loans do not exhibit similar risk characteristics, an individual analysis is performed to consider expected credit losses.

For commercial TDRs individually evaluated for impairment, attributes of the borrower are the primary factors in determining the allowance for credit losses. However, historical loss experience is also incorporated into the allowance methodology applied to this category of loans. Commercial lending segment TDR loans may be collectively evaluated for impairment where observed performance history, including defaults, is a primary driver of the loss allocation.

The allowance recorded for TDR loans in the consumer lending segment is determined on a homogenous pool basis utilizing expected cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate of the pool. The expected cash flows on TDR loans consider subsequent payment defaults since modification, the borrower’s ability to pay under the restructured terms, and the timing and amount of payments. The allowance for collateral-dependent loans in the consumer lending segment is determined based on the current fair value of the collateral less costs to sell.

When evaluating the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses for any loans and lines in a junior lien position, the Company considers the delinquency and modification status of the first lien. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company serviced the first lien on 3937 percent of the home equity loans and lines in a junior lien position. The Company also considers the status of first lien mortgage accounts reported on customer credit bureau files when the first lien is not serviced by the Company. Regardless of whether the Company services the first lien, an assessment is made of economic conditions, problem loans, recent loss experience and other factors in determining the allowance for credit losses. Based on the available information, the Company estimated ~~$221~~$255 million or ~~1.7~~2.3 percent of its total home equity portfolio at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, represented

non-delinquent

junior liens where the first lien was delinquent or modified, excluding loans in COVID-related forbearance programs.

The Company considers historical loss experience on the loans and lines in a junior lien position to establish loss estimates for junior lien loans and lines the Company services that are current, but the first lien is delinquent or modified. ~~Historically, the number of~~The historical long-term average loss experience related to junior ~~lien defaults~~liens has been ~~a small percentage~~relatively limited (less than 1 percent of the total portfolio ~~(approximately 1 percent~~ annually), ~~while the long-term average loss rate on loans that default has been approximately 80 percent.

In its evaluation of the allowance for credit losses, the Company also considers the increased risk of loss associated with home equity lines that are contractually scheduled to convert from a revolving status to a fully amortizing payment.

Beginning January 1, 2020, when a loan portfolio is purchased, the acquired loans are divided into those considered purchased with more than insignificant credit deterioration (“PCD”) and those not considered purchased with more than insignificant credit deterioration. An allowance is established for each population and considers product mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, bankruptcy experience, delinquency status and refreshed LTV ratios when ~~possible, and portfolio growth.~~possible. The allowance established for purchased loans not considered PCD is recognized through provision expense upon acquisition, whereas the allowance established for loans considered PCD at acquisition is offset by an increase in the basis of the acquired loans. Any subsequent increases and decreases in the allowance related to purchased loans, regardless of PCD status, are recognized through provision expense, with ~~future~~ charge-offs charged to the allowance. The Company did not have a material amount of PCD loans included in its loan portfolio at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

environment that are affecting specific portfolios, or changes in portfolio concentrations over time that may affect model performance. The consideration of these items results in adjustments to allowance amounts included in the Company’s allowance for credit losses ~~for each portfolio class.~~

~~The results of the analysis are evaluated quarterly to confirm the estimates are appropriate~~ for each loan portfolio.

Although the Company determined the amount of each element of the allowance separately and considers this process to be an important credit management tool, the entire allowance for credit losses is available for the entire loan portfolio. The actual amount of losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts.

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the allowance for credit losses was ~~$8.0~~$6.6 billion ~~(2.61~~(2.23 percent of

period-end

loans), compared with an allowance of ~~$4.5~~$8.0 billion ~~(1.52~~(2.69 percent of

period-end

loans) at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was ~~678~~649 percent at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~649~~654 percent at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to annualized loan net charge-offs was ~~391~~916 percent at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~309~~448 percent of full year ~~2019~~2020 net charge-offs at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

In addition to these factors, expected loss estimates consider various factors including ~~the changing economic activity, estimated mitigating effects of government stimulus, estimated duration and severity of the health crisis,~~ customer specific information impacting changes in risk ratings, projected delinquencies and potential effects of diminishing liquidity without support of mortgage forbearance and direct federal stimulus. Currently, consumer credit trends continue to perform better than expected, while select commercial portfolios most impacted by

COVID-19

continue to be monitored for structural shifts associated with the pandemic.

Changes in economic conditions during the first six months of 2021 included improvements in projected gross domestic product and unemployment levels for 2021, which reflected the additional government stimulus and availability of vaccines. These factors are evaluated through a combination of quantitative calculations using economic scenarios and qualitative assessments that consider the high degree of uncertainty related to the unprecedented levels of both economic stress and the stimulus response.

The following table summarizes the baseline forecast for key economic variables the Company used in its estimate of the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Baseline economic forecasts are used in combination with alternative scenarios and historical loss experience as is considered reasonable and supportable to inform the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are based on a variety of factors, including loan balance changes, portfolio credit quality and mix changes, and changes in general economic conditions and expectations (including for unemployment and gross domestic product), among other factors. Based on economic conditions at June 30, 2021, it was difficult to estimate the length and severity of the longer term effects on certain industry sectors that may result from

COVID-19

and the impact of ~~industrywide loan modification efforts designed to limit long-term effects~~other factors that may influence the level of eventual losses and corresponding requirements for the allowance for credit losses, including the impact of inflationary pressures on certain lending sectors and diminishing liquidity after economic stimulus programs and accommodations delaying mortgage and rent payments end.

~~High levels~~ rising interest rates and unsupported increases in the values of unemployment, and lower gross domestic product estimates for 2020, as well as a slower pace of recovery in manufacturing activity and oil prices, were all observable changes in conditions that increased expected credit losses. At the same time, record economic stimulus measures were also enacted, and additional measures are being considered, with the intent to support businesses and consumers through what is expected to be a period of reduced economic activity. To balance these offsetting factors, economic scenarios updated through the end of the third quarter of 2020 that produced higher quantitative loss estimates consistent with the expected deterioration in reported economic statistics were evaluated in conjunction with management’s expectation that current and potential future stimulus efforts, as well as industrywide availability of short-term payment deferral programs, would mitigate losses estimated from models based on historical data from periods when mitigation efforts were not as extensive. Overall, loss expectations are consistent with prior economic downturn experience, but the severity of the deterioration in current economic conditions is not expected to persist over the life of the loan portfolio, as some indicators of economic activity have begun to improve directionally.certain assets.

The Company has controls and processes in place for the assessment, identification, monitoring, management and reporting of compliance risks and issues including those created or increased by the economic and financial disruptions caused by the

COVID-19

pandemic. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Compliance Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on

Form 10-K

for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, for further discussion on compliance risk management.

Interest Rate Risk Management

In the banking industry, changes in interest rates are a significant risk that can impact earnings and the safety and soundness of an entity. The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through asset and liability management activities within guidelines established by its Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) and approved by the Board of Directors. The ALCO has the responsibility for approving and ensuring compliance with the ALCO management policies, including interest rate risk exposure. One way the Company measures and analyzes its interest rate risk is through net interest income simulation analysis.

Simulation analysis incorporates substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities and

off-balance

sheet instruments, together with forecasted changes in the balance sheet and assumptions that reflect the current interest rate environment. Through this simulation, management estimates the impact on net interest income of various interest rate changes that differ in the direction, amount and speed of change over time, as well as the shape of the yield curve. This simulation includes assumptions about how the balance sheet is likely to be affected by changes in loan and deposit growth. Assumptions are made to project interest rates for new loans and deposits based on historical analysis, management’s outlook and

re-pricing

strategies. These assumptions are reviewed and validated on a periodic basis with sensitivity analysis being provided for key variables of the simulation. The results are reviewed monthly by the ALCO and are used to guide asset/liability management strategies.

The Company manages its interest rate risk position by holding assets with desired interest rate risk characteristics on its balance sheet, implementing certain pricing strategies for loans and deposits and selecting derivatives and various funding and investment portfolio strategies.

Table 9 summarizes the projected impact to net interest income over the next 12 months of various potential interest rate changes. The sensitivity of the projected impact to net interest income over the next 12 months is dependent on balance sheet growth, product mix, deposit behavior, pricing and funding decisions. While the Company utilizes models and assumptions based on historical information and expected behaviors, actual outcomes could vary significantly.

Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate and Other Risks

To manage the sensitivity of earnings and capital to interest rate, prepayment, credit, price and foreign currency fluctuations (asset and liability management positions), the Company enters into derivative transactions. The Company uses derivatives for asset and liability management purposes primarily in the following ways:

To convert fixed-rate debt and

available-for-sale

investment securities from fixed-rate payments to floating-rate payments;

To convert ~~the cash flows associated with~~ floating-rate debt from floating-rate payments to fixed-rate payments;

To mitigate changes in value of the Company’s unfunded mortgage loan commitments, funded MLHFS and MSRs;

To mitigate remeasurement volatility of foreign currency denominated balances; and

To mitigate the volatility of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations driven by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

In addition, the Company enters into interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts to support the business requirements of its customers (customer-related positions). The Company minimizes the market and liquidity risks of customer-related positions by either entering into similar offsetting positions with broker-dealers, or on a portfolio basis by entering into other derivative or

non-derivative

financial instruments that partially or fully offset the exposure from these customer-related positions. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are either exchange-traded, centrally cleared through clearinghouses or

over-the-counter.

The Company does not utilize derivatives for speculative purposes.

The Company does not designate all of the derivatives that it enters into for risk management purposes as accounting hedges because of the inefficiency of applying the accounting requirements and may instead elect fair value accounting for the related hedged items. In particular, the Company enters into interest rate swaps, swaptions, forward commitments to buy

to-be-announced

securities (“TBAs”), U.S. Treasury and Eurodollar futures and options on U.S. Treasury futures to mitigate fluctuations in the value of its MSRs, but does not designate those derivatives as accounting hedges.

Additionally, the Company uses forward commitments to sell TBAs and other commitments to sell residential mortgage loans at specified prices to economically hedge the interest rate risk in its residential mortgage loan production activities. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had ~~$14.9~~$10.0 billion of forward commitments to sell, hedging ~~$5.8~~$4.6 billion of MLHFS and ~~$13.3~~$8.8 billion of unfunded mortgage loan commitments. The forward commitments to sell and the unfunded mortgage loan commitments on loans intended to be sold are considered derivatives under the accounting guidance related to accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company has elected the fair value option for the MLHFS.

Derivatives are subject to credit risk associated with counterparties to the contracts. Credit risk associated with derivatives is measured by the Company based on the probability of counterparty default, including consideration of the

COVID-19

pandemic. The Company manages the credit risk of its derivative positions by diversifying its positions among various counterparties, by entering into master netting arrangements, and, where possible, by requiring collateral arrangements. The Company may also transfer counterparty credit risk related to interest rate swaps to third parties through the use of risk participation agreements. In addition, certain interest rate swaps, interest rate forwards and credit contracts are required to be centrally cleared through clearinghouses to further mitigate counterparty credit risk.

For additional information on derivatives and hedging activities, refer to Notes 12 and 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIBOR Transition

In July 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) announced that it would no longer require banks to submit rates for the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) after 2021. In March 2021, the FCA and the administrator of LIBOR announced that LIBOR will no longer be published on a representative basis after December 31, 2021, except for the most commonly used tenors of United States Dollar LIBOR which will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. The Company holds financial instruments that will be impacted by the discontinuance of LIBOR, including certain loans,

investment securities, derivatives, borrowings and other financial instruments that use LIBOR as the benchmark rate. The Company also provides various services to customers in its ~~capacity~~capacities as trustee and servicer, which involve financial instruments that will be similarly impacted by the discontinuance of LIBOR. The Company anticipates these financial instruments will


~~U.S. Bancorp~~		23

require transition to a new reference rate. This transition will occur over time as many of these arrangements do not have an alternative rate referenced in their contracts or a clear path for the parties to agree upon an alternative reference rate. In order to facilitate the transition process, the Company has instituted a LIBOR Transition Office and commenced an enterprise-wide project to identify, assess, monitor and ~~monitor~~mitigate risks associated with the expected discontinuance or unavailability of LIBOR, actively engage with industry working groups and regulators, achieve operational readiness for the use of alternative reference rates and engage impacted ~~customers.

for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, for further discussion on potential risks that could adversely affect the Company’s financial results as a result of the LIBOR transition.

Market Risk Management

In addition to interest rate risk, the Company is exposed to other forms of market risk, principally related to trading activities which support customers’ strategies to manage their own foreign currency, interest rate risk and funding activities. For purposes of its internal capital adequacy assessment process, the Company considers risk arising from its trading activities, as well as the remeasurement volatility of foreign currency denominated balances included on its Consolidated Balance Sheet (collectively, “Covered Positions”), employing methodologies consistent with the requirements of regulatory rules for market risk. The Company’s Market Risk Committee (“MRC”), within the framework of the ALCO, oversees market risk management. The MRC monitors and reviews the Company’s Covered Positions and establishes policies for market risk management, including exposure limits for each portfolio. The Company uses a VaR approach to measure general market risk. Theoretically, VaR represents the statistical risk of loss the Company has to adverse market movements over a

one-day

time horizon. The Company uses the Historical Simulation method to calculate VaR for its Covered Positions measured at the ninety-ninth percentile using a

one-year

look-back period for distributions derived from past market data. The market factors used in the calculations include those pertinent to market risks inherent in the underlying trading portfolios, principally those that affect the Company’s corporate bond trading business, foreign currency transaction business, client derivatives business, loan trading business and municipal securities business, as well as those inherent in the Company’s foreign denominated balances and the derivatives used to mitigate the related measurement volatility. On average, the Company expects the

one-day

VaR to be exceeded by actual losses two to three times per year related to these positions. The Company monitors the accuracy of internal VaR models and modeling processes by back-testing model performance, regularly updating the historical data used by the VaR models and regular model validations to assess the accuracy of the models’ input, processing, and reporting components. All models are required to be independently reviewed and approved prior to being placed in use. If the Company were to experience market losses in excess of the estimated VaR more often than expected, the VaR models and associated assumptions would be analyzed and adjusted.

The average, high, low and

period-end

one-day

VaR amounts for the Company’s Covered Positions were as follows:


Nine Months Ended September 30 (Dollars in Millions)	2020		2019

Period-end		2		1		2		3

The Company did not experience any actual losses for its combined Covered Positions that exceeded VaR during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Given the market volatility in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from effects of the

COVID-19

pandemic, the Company experienced actual losses for its combined Covered Positions that exceeded VaR five times during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2020. ~~The Company did not experience any actual losses for its combined Covered Positions that exceeded VaR during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.~~ The Company stress tests its market risk measurements to provide management with perspectives on market events that may not be captured by its VaR models, including worst case historical market movement combinations that have not necessarily occurred on the same date.

The Company calculates Stressed VaR using the same underlying methodology and model as VaR, except that a historical continuous

Valuations of positions in client derivatives and foreign currency activities are based on discounted cash flow or other valuation techniques using market-based assumptions. These valuations are compared to third party quotes or other market prices to determine if there are significant variances. Significant variances are approved by senior management in the Company’s corporate functions. Valuation of positions in the corporate bond trading, loan trading and municipal securities businesses are based on trader marks. These trader marks are evaluated against ~~third party~~third-party prices, with significant variances approved by senior management in the Company’s corporate functions.

The Company also measures the market risk of its hedging activities related to residential MLHFS and MSRs using the Historical Simulation method. The VaRs are measured at the ninety-ninth percentile and employ factors pertinent to the market risks inherent in the valuation of the assets and hedges. A

one-year

look-back period is used to obtain past market data for the models.

The average, high and low VaR amounts for the residential MLHFS and related hedges and the MSRs and related hedges were as follows:

Liquidity Risk Management

The Company’s liquidity risk management process is designed to identify, measure, and manage the Company’s funding and liquidity risk to meet its daily funding needs and to address expected and unexpected changes in its funding requirements. The Company engages in various activities to manage its liquidity risk. These activities include diversifying its funding sources, stress testing, and holding readily-marketable assets which can be used as a source of liquidity if needed. In addition, the Company’s profitable operations, sound credit quality and strong capital position have enabled it to develop a large and reliable base of core deposit funding within its market areas and in domestic and global capital markets. ~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company effectively managed its liquidity position while funding significant loan growth during the period.~~

The Company’s Board of Directors approves the Company’s liquidity policy. The Risk Management Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors oversees the Company’s liquidity risk management process and approves a contingency funding plan. The ALCO reviews the Company’s liquidity policy and limits, and regularly assesses the Company’s ability to meet funding requirements arising from adverse company-specific or market events.

The Company regularly projects its funding needs under various stress scenarios and maintains a contingency funding plan consistent with the Company’s access to diversified sources of contingent funding. The Company maintains a substantial level of total available liquidity in the form of

on-balance

sheet and

off-balance

sheet funding sources. These liquidity sources include cash at the Federal Reserve Bank and certain European central banks, unencumbered liquid assets, and capacity to borrow from the FHLB and at Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the fair value of unencumbered investment securities totaled ~~$123.6~~$129.5 billion, compared with ~~$114.2~~$125.9 billion at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Balance Sheet Analysis” for further information on investment securities maturities and trends. Asset liquidity is further enhanced by the Company’s practice of pledging loans to access secured borrowing facilities through the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company could have borrowed a total of an additional ~~$97.0~~$92.6 billion from the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank based on collateral available for additional borrowings.

The Company’s diversified deposit base provides a sizeable source of relatively stable and

low-cost

funding, while reducing the Company’s reliance on the wholesale markets. Total deposits were ~~$413.2~~$437.2 billion at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$361.9~~$429.8 billion at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Refer to “Balance Sheet Analysis” for further information on the Company’s deposits.

Additional funding is provided by long-term debt and short-term borrowings. Long-term debt was ~~$42.4~~$36.4 billion at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and is an important funding source because of its multi-year borrowing structure. Short-term borrowings were ~~$13.7~~$13.4 billion at ~~September~~

June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and supplement the Company’s other funding sources. Refer to “Balance Sheet Analysis” for further information on the Company’s long-term debt and short-term borrowings.

In addition to assessing liquidity risk on a consolidated basis, the Company monitors the parent company’s liquidity. The Company establishes limits for the minimal number of months into the future where the parent company can meet existing and forecasted obligations with cash and securities held that can be readily monetized. The Company measures and manages this limit in both normal and adverse conditions. The


~~U.S. Bancorp~~		25

Company maintains sufficient funding to meet expected capital and debt service obligations for 24 months without the support of dividends from subsidiaries and assuming access to the wholesale markets is maintained. The Company maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its capital and debt service obligations for 12 months under adverse conditions without the support of dividends from subsidiaries or access to the wholesale markets. The parent company is currently well in excess of required liquidity minimums.

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, parent company long-term debt outstanding was ~~$22.1~~$19.8 billion, compared with ~~$18.6~~$20.9 billion at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily due to ~~$2.8~~$1.0 billion of medium-term note ~~issuances.~~repayments. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, there was no$500 million of parent company debt scheduled to mature in the remainder of ~~2020.~~2021.

The Company is subject to a regulatory Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) requirement which requires banks to maintain an adequate level of unencumbered high quality liquid assets to meet estimated liquidity needs over a

30-day

stressed period. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company was compliant with this requirement.

Beginning July 1, 2021, the Company is also subject to a regulatory Net Stable Funding Ratio (“NSFR”) requirement which requires banks to maintain a minimum level of stable funding based on the liquidity characteristics of their assets, commitments, and derivative exposures over a

one-year

time horizon. At June 30, 2021, the Company was compliant with this requirement.

Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Liquidity Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on

Form 10-K

for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, for further discussion on liquidity risk management.

European Exposures

The Company provides merchant processing and corporate trust services in Europe either directly or through banking affiliations in Europe. Revenue generated from sources in Europe represented approximately 2 percent of the Company’s total net revenue for both the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. Operating cash for these businesses is deposited on a short-term basis typically with certain European central banks. For deposits placed at other European banks, exposure is mitigated by the Company placing deposits at multiple banks and managing the amounts on deposit at any bank based on institution-specific deposit limits. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had an aggregate amount on deposit with European banks of approximately ~~$9.2~~$11.9 billion, predominately with the Central Bank of Ireland and Bank of England.

In addition, the Company provides financing to domestic multinational corporations that generate revenue from customers in European countries, transacts with various European banks as counterparties to certain derivative-related activities, and through a subsidiary, manages money market funds that hold certain investments in European sovereign debt. Any further deterioration in economic conditions in Europe, including the potential negative impact of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union (“Brexit”), is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company related to these activities. The Company is focused on providing continuity of services, with minimal disruption resulting from Brexit, to customers with activities in European countries. The Company has made certain structural changes to its legal entities and operations in the United Kingdom and European Union, where needed, and migrated certain business activities to the appropriate jurisdictions to continue to provide such services and generate revenue.

Off-Balance

Sheet Arrangements

Off-balance

sheet arrangements include any contractual arrangements to which an unconsolidated entity is a party, under which the Company has an obligation to provide credit or liquidity enhancements or market risk support. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into an array of commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and various forms of guarantees that may be considered

off-balance

sheet arrangements. Refer to Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these arrangements. The Company does not utilize private label asset securitizations as a source of funding.

Off-balance

sheet arrangements also include any obligation related to a variable interest held in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, credit enhancement or market risk support. Refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the Company’s interests in variable interest entities.

Refer to Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the business lines’ basis for financial presentation.

Designations, assignments and allocations change from time to time as management systems are enhanced, methods of evaluating performance or product lines change or business segments are realigned to better respond to the Company’s diverse customer base.

FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators, the Company considers various other measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including:

Tangible common equity to tangible assets,

Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets, and

Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, reflecting the full implementation of the CECL methodology.

These capital measures are viewed by management as useful additional methods of evaluating the Company’s utilization of its capital held and the level of capital available to withstand unexpected negative market or economic conditions. Additionally,


32		~~U.S. Bancorp~~

presentation of these measures allows investors, analysts and banking regulators to assess the Company’s capital position relative to other financial services companies. These capital measures are not defined in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), or are not currently effective or defined in banking regulations. In addition, certain of these measures differ from currently effective capital ratios defined by banking regulations principally in that the currently effective ratios, which are subject to certain transitional provisions, temporarily exclude the impact of the 2020 adoption of accounting guidance related to impairment of financial instruments based on the CECL methodology. As a result, these capital measures disclosed by the Company may be considered

non-GAAP

financial measures. Management believes this information helps investors assess trends in the Company’s capital adequacy.

The Company also discloses net interest income and related ratios and analysis on a taxable-equivalent basis, which may also be considered

non-GAAP

financial measures. The Company believes this presentation to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income as it provides a relevant comparison of net interest income arising from taxable and

tax-exempt

sources. In addition, certain performance measures, including the efficiency ratio and net interest margin utilize net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis.

There may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, the Company encourages readers to consider the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this report in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The Company’s financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions, which are integral to understanding the Company’s financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those policies management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or complex. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Management has discussed the development and the selection of critical accounting policies with the Company’s Audit Committee. Those policies considered to be critical accounting policies relate to the allowance for credit losses, fair value estimates, MSRs, and income taxes.

~~Allowance for Credit Losses~~

~~Management’s evaluation of the appropriate allowance for credit losses is often the most critical of all the~~ These accounting estimates for a banking institution. It is an inherently subjective process impacted by many factors as discussed throughout the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of this Quarterly Report on Form

~~10-Q.~~

The methods utilized to estimate the allowance for credit losses, key assumptions and quantitative and qualitative information considered by management in determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2020 are discussed in the “Credit Risk Management” section. Although methodologies utilized to determine each element of the allowance reflect management’s assessment of credit risk as identified through assessments completed of individual credits and of homogenous pools affected by material credit events, degrees of imprecision exist in these measurement tools due in part to subjective judgments involved and an inherent lag in the data available to quantify current conditions and events that affect credit loss reserve estimates. As discussed in the “Analysis and Determination of Allowance for Credit Losses” section, management considered the effect of changes in economic conditions, risk management practices, and other factors that contributed to imprecision of loss estimates in determining the allowance for credit losses. If not considered, expected losses in the credit portfolio related to imprecision and other subjective factors could have a dramatic adverse impact on the liquidity and financial viability of a banking institution.

Given the many quantitative variables and subjective factors affecting the credit portfolio, changes in the allowance for credit losses may not directly coincide with changes in the risk ratings of the credit portfolio reflected in the risk rating process. This is in part due to the timing of the risk rating process in relation to changes in the business cycle, the exposure and mix of loans within risk rating categories, levels of nonperforming loans and the timing of charge-offs and expected recoveries. The allowance for credit losses on commercial lending segment loans measures the expected loss content on the remaining portfolio exposure, while nonperforming loans and net charge-offs are measures of specific impairment events that have already been confirmed. Therefore, the degree of change in the forward-looking expected loss in the commercial lending allowance may differ from the level of changes in nonperforming loans and net charge-offs. Management maintains an appropriate allowance for credit losses by updating allowance rates to reflect changes in expected losses, including expected changes in economic or business cycle conditions.

Some factors considered in determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses are more readily quantifiable while other factors require extensive qualitative judgment. Management conducts an analysis with respect to the accuracy of risk ratings and the volatility of expected losses, and utilizes this analysis along with qualitative factors that can affect the precision of credit loss estimates, including economic conditions, such as changes in gross domestic product, unemployment or bankruptcy rates, and concentration risks, such as risks associated with specific industries, collateral valuations, and loans to highly leveraged enterprises, in determining the overall level of the allowance for credit losses.

The Company considers a range of economic scenarios in its determination of the allowance for credit losses. These scenarios are constructed with interrelated projections of multiple economic variables, and loss estimates are produced that consider the historical correlation of those economic variables with credit losses, and also the expectation that conditions will eventually normalize over the longer run. Scenarios worse than the Company’s expected outcome at September 30, 2020 include risks that government stimulus in response to the

~~COVID-19~~

pandemic is less broad or less effective than expected, or that a longer or more severe health crisis prolongs the downturn in economic activity, reducing the number of businesses that are ultimately able to resume operations after the crisis has passed.

The Company’s determination of the allowance for commercial lending segment loans is sensitive to the assigned credit risk ratings and expected loss rates at September 30, 2020. If 20 percent of period ending loan balances (including unfunded commitments) within each risk category of risk rated commercial lending loans experienced a downgrade to the next worse risk category, the allowance for credit losses would have increased by approximately $219 million at September 30, 2020. If quantitative loss estimates for commercial lending segment loans increased by 10 percent, the allowance for credit losses would have increased by approximately $343 million at September 30, 2020. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses appropriately considers the imprecision in estimating credit losses based on credit risk ratings and credit loss model estimates, but actual losses may differ from those estimates.

The Company’s determination of the allowance for consumer lending segment loans is sensitive to changes in estimated loss rates and estimated impairments on restructured loans. In the event that estimated losses for this segment of the loan portfolio increased by 10 percent, the allowance for credit losses would have increased by approximately $313 million at September 30, 2020.

Because several quantitative and qualitative factors are considered in determining the allowance for credit losses, these sensitivity analyses do not necessarily reflect the nature and extent of future changes in the allowance for credit losses. They are intended to provide insights into the impact of adverse changes in risk rating and loss model estimates and do not imply any expectation of future deterioration in the risk rating or loss rates. Given current processes employed by the Company, management believes the risk ratings and loss model estimates currently assigned are appropriate. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different reasonable conclusions that could be significant to the Company’s financial statements. Refer to the “Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit Losses” section for further information.

~~Note 1~~		Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form

~~Form~~ 10-Q

and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management of U.S. Bancorp (the “Company”), all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been made. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on

Form 10-K

for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.


Note 2		Accounting Changes

~~Financial Instruments—Credit Losses~~

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted accounting guidance, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in June 2016, related to the impairment of financial instruments. This guidance changes impairment recognition to a model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. This guidance is also intended to reduce the complexity of accounting guidance by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. In addition, the guidance requires additional credit quality disclosures for loans. Upon adoption, the Company increased its allowance for credit losses by approximately $1.5 billion and reduced retained earnings net of deferred tax balances by approximately $1.1 billion through a cumulative-effect adjustment. The increase in the allowance at adoption was primarily related to the commercial, credit card, installment and other retail loan portfolios where the allowance for loan losses had not previously considered the full term of the loans. The Company has elected to defer the impact of the effect of the guidance at adoption plus 25 percent of its quarterly credit reserve increases over the next two years on its regulatory capital requirements, followed by a transition period to phase in the cumulative deferred impact at 25 percent per year from 2022 to 2025, as provided by rules issued by its regulators.

~~The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s~~

~~available-for-sale~~

~~securities as most of this portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury and residential agency mortgage-backed securities that inherently have an immaterial risk of loss.~~

Reference Interest Rate Transition

In March 2020, the FASB issued accounting guidance, providing temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance in United States generally accepted accounting principles on contract modifications and hedge accounting, to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. Under the guidance, a company can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by ~~the~~ reference rate transition, if certain criteria are met. A company that makes this election would not be required to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. This guidance also permits a company to elect various optional expedients that would allow it to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate transition, if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is ~~currently assessing~~in the ~~impact~~process of evaluating and applying, as applicable, the optional expedients and exceptions in accounting for eligible contract modifications, eligible existing hedging relationships and new hedging relationships available through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance has not had, and is expected to continue to not have, a material impact on ~~its~~the Company’s financial statements.

The Company conducts a regular assessment of its

available-for-sale

investment securities with unrealized losses to determine whether all or some portion of a security’s unrealized loss is related to credit and an allowance for credit losses is necessary. If the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell an investment security, the amortized cost of the security is written down to fair value. When evaluating credit losses, the Company considers various factors such as the nature of the investment security, the credit ratings or financial condition of the issuer, the extent of the unrealized loss, expected cash flows of underlying collateral, the existence of any government or agency guarantees, and market conditions. The Company measures the allowance for credit losses using market information where available and discounting the cash flows at the original effective rate of the investment security. The allowance for credit losses is adjusted each period through earnings and can be subsequently recovered. The allowance for credit losses on the Company’s

available-for-sale

investment securities was immaterial at ~~September~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

These unrealized losses primarily relate to changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to purchase of the investment securities. U.S. Treasury and agencies securities and agency mortgage-backed securities are issued, guaranteed or otherwise supported by the United States government. The Company’s obligations of state and political subdivisions are generally high grade. Accordingly, the Company does not consider these unrealized losses to be credit-related and an allowance for credit losses is not necessary. In general, the issuers of the investment securities are contractually prohibited from prepayment at less than par, and the Company did not pay significant purchase premiums for these investment securities. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had no plans to sell investment securities with unrealized losses, and believes it is more likely than not it would not be required to sell such investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2021 and

2020

, the Company did not purchase any

available-for-sale

investment securities

that

had more-than-insignificant credit deterioration.

The Company had loans of ~~$95.9~~$87.7 billion at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and ~~$96.2~~$96.1 billion at December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, pledged at the Federal Home Loan Bank, and loans of ~~$67.1~~$68.9 billion at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and ~~$76.3~~$67.8 billion at December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, pledged at the Federal Reserve Bank.

Originated loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned interest and deferred fees and costs, and any partial charge-offs recorded. Net unearned interest and deferred fees and costs amounted to ~~$848~~$789 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~$781~~$763 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. All purchased loans are recorded at fair value at the date of purchase. Beginning January 1, 2020, the Company evaluates purchased loans for more-than-insignificant deterioration at the date of purchase in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance. Purchased loans that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration from origination are considered purchased credit deteriorated ~~(“PCD”)~~ loans. All other purchased loans are considered

non-purchased

credit deteriorated loans.

The Company offers a broad array of lending products and categorizes its loan portfolio into two segments, which is the level at which it develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses. The Company’s two loan portfolio segments are commercial lending and consumer lending.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Beginning January 1, 2020, the allowance for credit losses is established for current expected credit losses on the Company’s loan and lease portfolio, including unfunded credit commitments. The allowance considers expected losses for the remaining lives of the applicable assets, inclusive of expected recoveries. The allowance for credit losses is increased through provisions charged to earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. Management evaluates the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. ~~The allowance considers expected losses for the remaining lives of the applicable assets, inclusive of expected recoveries. Remaining lives of the applicable assets are adjusted for prepayments.~~ Multiple economic scenarios are considered over a three-year reasonable and supportable forecast period, which ~~incorporates~~includes increasing consideration of historical loss experience inover years two and three. These economic scenarios are constructed with interrelated projections of multiple economic variables, and loss estimates are produced that consider the historical correlation of those economic variables with credit losses. After the forecast period, the Company fully reverts to long-term historical loss experience, adjusted for prepayments and characteristics of the current loan and lease portfolio, to estimate losses over the remaining ~~lives.~~life of the portfolio. The economic scenarios are updated at least quarterly and are designed to provide a range of reasonable estimates ~~both~~from better ~~and~~to worse than current expectations. Scenarios are weighted based on the Company’s expectation of economic conditions for the foreseeable future ~~conditions.~~and reflect significant judgment and consideration of uncertainties that exist. Final loss estimates also consider factors affecting credit losses not reflected in the scenarios, due to the unique aspects of current conditions and expectations. These factors may include, but are not limited to, loan servicing practices, regulatory guidance, and/or fiscal and monetary policy actions.


~~U.S. Bancorp~~		45

The allowance recorded for credit losses utilizes forward-looking expected loss models to consider a variety of factors affecting lifetime credit losses. These factors include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic variables such as unemployment rate, real estate prices, gross domestic product levels and corporate bonds spreads, ~~and long-term interest rate forecasts,~~ as well as loan and borrower characteristics, such as internal risk ratings on commercial loans and consumer credit scores, delinquency

status, collateral type and available valuation information, consideration of

end-of-term

losses on lease residuals, and the remaining term of the loan, adjusted for expected prepayments. ~~Where loans do not exhibit similar risk characteristics, an individual analysis is performed to consider expected credit losses.~~ For each loan portfolio, model estimates are adjusted as necessary to consider any relevant changes in portfolio composition, lending policies, underwriting standards, risk management practices, economic conditions or other factors that would affect the accuracy of the model. Expected credit loss estimates also include consideration of expected cash recoveries on loans previously

charged-off

or expected recoveries on collateral dependent loans where recovery is expected through sale of the collateral. Where loans do not exhibit similar risk characteristics, an individual analysis is performed to consider expected credit losses. The allowance recorded for individually evaluated loans greater

than $5$

million in the commercial lending segment is based on an analysis utilizing expected cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate, the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the ~~collateral,~~

ollateral, less selling costs, for collateral-dependent ~~loans.~~loans as appropriate.

The allowance recorded for Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) loans in the consumer lending segment is determined on a homogenous pool basis utilizing expected cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate of the pool. TDRs generally do not include loan modifications granted to customers resulting directly from the economic effects of the

COVID-19

~~pandemic.~~ pandemic, who were otherwise in current payment status. The expected cash flows on TDR loans consider subsequent payment defaults since modification, the borrower’s ability to pay under the restructured terms, and the timing and amount of payments. The allowance for collateral-dependent loans in the consumer lending segment is determined based on the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. With respect to the commercial lending segment, TDRs may be collectively evaluated for impairment where observed performance history, including defaults, is a primary driver of the loss allocation. For commercial TDRs individually evaluated for impairment, attributes of the borrower are the primary factors in determining the allowance for credit losses. However, historical loss experience is also incorporated into the allowance methodology applied to this category of loans.

Beginning January 1, 2020, when a loan portfolio is purchased, ~~an allowance is established for~~the acquired loans are divided into those ~~loans~~ considered purchased with ~~more-than-insignificant~~more than insignificant credit deterioration ~~or PCD loans,~~(“PCD”) and those not considered purchased with ~~more-than-insignificant~~more than insignificant credit deterioration. ~~The~~An allowance is established for each population and considers product mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, bankruptcy experience, delinquency status and refreshed

~~loan-to-value~~

LTV ratios when ~~possible, and portfolio growth.~~possible. The allowance established for purchased loans not considered PCD is recognized through provision expense upon acquisition, whereas the allowance established for loans considered PCD at acquisition is offset by an increase in the basis of the acquired loans. Any subsequent increases and decreases in the allowance related to purchased loans, regardless of PCD status, are recognized through provision expense, with ~~future~~ charge-offs charged to the allowance. The Company did not have a material amount of PCD loans included in its loan portfolio at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

The Company’s methodology for determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses ~~for each loan portfolio~~ also considers the imprecision inherent in the methodologies ~~used.~~used and allocated to the various loan portfolios. As a result, amounts determined under the methodologies described above, are adjusted by management to consider the potential impact of other qualitative factors not captured in the quantitative model adjustments which include, but are not limited to the following: model imprecision, imprecision in economic scenario assumptions, and emerging risks related to either changes in the environment that are affecting specific portfolios, or changes in portfolio concentrations over time that may affect model performance. The consideration of these items results in adjustments to allowance amounts included in the Company’s allowance for credit losses ~~specific to~~for each ~~portfolio class.~~loan portfolio.

The Company also assesses the credit risk associated with

off-balance

sheet loan commitments, letters of credit, investment securities and derivatives. Credit risk associated with derivatives is reflected in the fair values recorded for those positions. The liability for

off-balance

sheet credit exposure related to loan commitments and other credit guarantees is included in other liabilities. Because business processes and credit risks associated with unfunded credit commitments are essentially the same as for loans, the Company utilizes similar processes to estimate its liability for unfunded credit commitments.

Prior to January 1, 2020, the allowance for credit losses was established based on an incurred loss model. The ~~results~~allowance recorded for loans in the commercial lending segment was based on the migration analysis of commercial loans and actual loss experience. The allowance recorded for loans in the ~~analysis are evaluated quarterly~~consumer lending segment was determined on a homogenous pool basis and primarily included consideration of delinquency status and historical losses. In addition to ~~confirm~~ the ~~estimates are appropriate for each loan portfolio.~~amounts determined under the methodologies described above, management also considered the potential impact of qualitative factors.

Credit Quality

The credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolios is assessed as a function of net credit losses, levels of nonperforming assets and delinquencies, and credit quality ratings as defined by the Company.

For all loan portfolio classes, loans are considered past due based on the number of days delinquent except for monthly amortizing loans which are classified delinquent based upon the number of contractually required payments not made (for example, two missed payments is considered 30 days delinquent). When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid accrued interest is reversed, reducing interest income in the current period.

Commercial lending segment loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal and interest has become 90 days past due or is otherwise considered doubtful. Commercial lending segment loans are generally fully or partially charged down to the fair value of the collateral securing the loan, less costs to sell, when the loan is placed on nonaccrual.

value of the collateral securing the loan, less costs to sell, at 180 days past due. Residential mortgage loans and lines in a first lien position are placed on nonaccrual status in instances where a partial

charge-off

occurs unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Residential mortgage loans and lines in a junior lien position secured by

1-4

family

properties are placed on nonaccrual status at 120 days past due or when they are behind a first lien that has become 180 days or greater past due or placed on nonaccrual status. Any secured consumer lending segment loan whose borrower has had debt discharged through bankruptcy, for which the loan amount exceeds the fair value of the collateral, is charged down to the fair value of the related collateral and the remaining balance is placed on nonaccrual status. Credit card loans continue to accrue interest until the account is

charged-off.

Credit cards are

charged-off

at 180 days past due. Other retail loans not secured by

1-4

family properties are

charged-off

at 120 days past due; and revolving consumer lines are

charged-off

at 180 days past due. Similar to credit cards, other retail loans are generally not placed on nonaccrual status because of the relative short period of time to

charge-off.

Certain retail customers having financial difficulties may have the terms of their credit card and other loan agreements modified to require only principal payments and, as such, are reported as nonaccrual.

For all loan classes, interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally recorded as a reduction to a loan’s carrying amount while a loan is on nonaccrual and are recognized as interest income upon payoff of the loan. However, interest income may be recognized for interest payments if the remaining carrying amount of the loan is believed to be collectible. In certain circumstances, loans in any class may be restored to accrual status, such as when a loan has demonstrated sustained repayment performance or no amounts are past due and prospects for future payment are no longer in doubt; or when the loan becomes well secured and is in the process of collection. Loans where there has been a partial

charge-off

may be returned to accrual status if all principal and interest (including amounts previously

charged-off)

is expected to be collected and the loan is current. Generally, purchased credit deteriorated loans are considered accruing loans. However, the timing and amount of future cash flows for some loans is not reasonably estimable, and those loans are classified as nonaccrual loans with interest income not recognized until the timing and amount of the future cash flows can be reasonably estimated.

The following table provides a summary of loans by portfolio class, including the delinquency status of those that continue to accrue interest, and those that are nonperforming:

management process and evaluation of the allowance for credit losses. Loans with a pass rating represent those loans not classified on the Company’s rating scale for problem credits, as minimal credit risk has been identified. Special mention loans are those loans that have a potential weakness deserving management’s close attention. Classified loans are those loans where a well-defined weakness has been identified that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. It is possible that others, given the same information, may reach different reasonable conclusions regarding the credit quality rating classification of specific loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In certain circumstances, the Company may modify the terms of a loan to maximize the collection of amounts due when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties or is expected to experience difficulties in the near-term. Concessionary modifications are classified as TDRs unless the modification results in only an insignificant delay in payments to be received. The Company recognizes interest on TDRs if the borrower complies

with the revised terms and conditions as agreed upon with the Company and has demonstrated repayment performance at a level commensurate with the modified terms over several payment cycles, which is generally six months or greater. To the extent a previous restructuring was insignificant, the Company considers the cumulative effect of past restructurings related to the receivable when determining whether a current restructuring is a TDR.

The following table provides a summary of loans modified as TDRs ~~during~~for the periods presented by portfolio class:

Residential mortgages, home equity and second mortgages, and loans purchased from GNMA mortgage pools in the table above include trial period arrangements offered to customers during the periods presented. The post-modification balances for these loans reflect the current outstanding balance until a permanent modification is made. In addition, the post-modification balances typically include capitalization of unpaid accrued interest and/or fees under the various modification programs. ~~For those loans modified as TDRs during the third quarter of 2020, at September~~At June 30, ~~2020, 15~~2021, 6 residential mortgages, 47 home equity and second mortgage loans and ~~238~~68 loans purchased from GNMA mortgage pools with outstanding balances of $4$1 million, ~~less than~~ $1 million and ~~$36~~$10 million, respectively, were in a trial period and have estimated post-modification balances of $4$1 million, ~~less than~~ $1 million and ~~$36~~$10 million, respectively, assuming permanent modification occurs at the end of the trial period.

The Company has implemented certain restructuring programs that may result in TDRs. However, many of the Company’s TDRs are also determined on a

case-by-case

basis in connection with ongoing loan collection processes.

For the commercial lending segment, modifications generally result in the Company working with borrowers on a

case-by-case

basis. Commercial and commercial real estate modifications generally include extensions of the maturity date and may be accompanied by an increase or decrease to the interest rate, which may not be deemed a market interest rate. In addition, the Company may work with the borrower in identifying other changes that mitigate loss to the Company, which may include additional collateral or guarantees to support the loan. To a lesser extent, the Company may waive contractual principal. The Company classifies all of the above concessions as TDRs to the extent the Company determines that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty.

Modifications for the consumer lending segment are generally part of programs the Company has initiated. The Company modifies residential mortgage loans under Federal Housing Administration, United States Department of Veterans Affairs, or its own internal programs. Under these programs, the Company offers qualifying homeowners the opportunity to permanently modify their loan and achieve more affordable monthly payments by providing loan concessions. These concessions may include adjustments to interest rates, conversion of adjustable rates to fixed rates,


50		~~U.S. Bancorp~~

extension of maturity dates or deferrals of payments, capitalization of accrued interest and/or outstanding advances, or in limited situations, partial forgiveness of loan principal. In most instances, participation in residential mortgage loan restructuring programs requires the customer to complete a short-term trial period. A permanent loan modification is contingent on the customer successfully completing the trial period arrangement, and the loan documents are not modified until that time. The Company reports loans in a trial period arrangement as TDRs and continues to report them as TDRs after the trial period.

Table of Contents

Credit card and other retail loan TDRs are generally part of distinct restructuring programs providing customers experiencing financial difficulty with modifications whereby balances may be amortized up to 60 months, and generally include waiver of fees and reduced interest rates.

In addition, the Company considers secured loans to consumer borrowers that have debt discharged through bankruptcy where the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt to be TDRs.

Loan modifications or concessions granted to borrowers resulting directly from the effects of the

COVID-19

pandemic, who were otherwise in current

payment status, are generally not considered to be TDRs.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, approximately ~~$12.1~~

Note 5		Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Variable Interest Entities

The Company transfers financial assets in the normal course of business. The majority of the Company’s financial asset transfers are residential mortgage loan sales primarily to government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”), transfers of

tax-advantaged

investments, commercial loan sales through participation agreements, and other individual or portfolio loan and securities sales. In accordance with the accounting guidance for asset transfers, the Company considers any ongoing involvement with transferred assets in determining whether the assets can be derecognized from the balance sheet. Guarantees provided to certain third parties in connection with the transfer of assets are further discussed in Note 15.

For loans sold under participation agreements, the Company also considers whether the terms of the loan participation agreement meet the accounting definition of a participating interest. With the exception of servicing and certain performance-based guarantees, the Company’s continuing involvement with financial assets sold is minimal and generally limited to market customary representation and warranty clauses. Any gain or loss on sale depends on the previous carrying amount of the transferred financial assets, the consideration received, and any liabilities incurred in exchange for the transferred assets. Upon transfer, any servicing assets and other interests that continue to be held by the Company are initially recognized at fair value. For further information on mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”),

refer to Note 6. On a limited basis, the Company may acquire and package high-grade corporate bonds for select corporate customers, in which the Company generally has no continuing involvement with these transactions. Additionally, the Company is an authorized GNMA issuer and issues GNMA securities on a regular basis. The Company has no other asset securitizations or similar asset-backed financing arrangements that are

off-balance

sheet.

The Company also provides financial support primarily through the use of waivers of trust and investment management fees associated with various unconsolidated registered money market funds it manages. The Company provided ~~$28~~$70 million and $8$13 million of support to the funds during the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$49~~$117 million and ~~$22~~$21 million during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

The Company is involved in various entities that are considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The Company’s investments in VIEs are primarily related to investments promoting affordable housing, community development and renewable energy sources. Some of these

tax-advantaged

investments support the Company’s regulatory compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. The Company’s investments in these entities generate a return primarily through the realization of federal and state income tax credits, and other tax benefits, such as tax deductions from operating losses of the investments, over specified time periods. These tax credits are recognized as a reduction of tax expense or, for investments qualifying as investment tax credits, as a reduction to the related investment asset. The Company recognized federal and state income tax credits related to its affordable housing and other

tax-advantaged

investments in tax expense of ~~$142~~$110 million and ~~$132~~$145 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$437~~$243 million and ~~$423~~$295 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The Company also recognized ~~$118~~$123 million and ~~$80~~$90 million of investment tax credits for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$307~~$160 million and ~~$326~~$189 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The Company recognized ~~$142~~$106 million and ~~$122~~$145 million of expenses related to all of these investments for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, of which ~~$97~~$87 million and ~~$80~~$99 million, respectively, were included in tax expense and the remaining amounts were included in noninterest expense. The ~~Company~~company recognized ~~$429~~$232 million and ~~$391~~$287 million of expenses related to all of these investments for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, of which ~~$297~~$179 million and ~~$237~~$200 million, respectively, were included in tax expense and the remaining amounts were included in noninterest expense.

The Company is not required to consolidate VIEs in which it has concluded it does not have a controlling financial interest, and thus is not the primary beneficiary. In such cases, the Company does not have both the power to direct the entities’ most significant activities and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs.

The Company’s investments in these unconsolidated VIEs are carried in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s unfunded capital and other commitments related to these unconsolidated VIEs are generally carried in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from these unconsolidated VIEs include the investment recorded on the ~~Company��s~~Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of unfunded capital commitments, and previously recorded tax credits which remain subject to recapture by taxing authorities based


52		~~U.S. Bancorp~~

on compliance features required to be met at the project level. While the Company believes potential losses from these investments are remote, the maximum exposure was determined by assuming a scenario where the community-based business and housing projects completely fail and do not meet certain government compliance requirements resulting in recapture of the

related tax credits.

The following table provides a summary of investments in community development and

tax-advantaged

VIEs that the Company has not consolidated:


(Dollars in Millions)	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019		June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020

Maximum exposure to loss		12,085		12,118		10,579		11,219

The Company also has noncontrolling financial investments in private investment funds and partnerships considered to be VIEs, which are not consolidated. The Company’s recorded investment in these entities, carried in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, was approximately ~~$34~~$39 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~$31~~$35 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs was ~~$57~~$80 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~$55~~$57 million at December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, representing the Company’s investment balance and its unfunded commitments to invest additional amounts.

Table of Contents

The Company’s individual net investments in unconsolidated VIEs, which exclude any unfunded capital commitments, ranged from less than $1 million to ~~$80~~$75 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared with less than $1 million to ~~$87~~$78 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The Company is required to consolidate VIEs in which it has concluded it has a controlling financial interest. The Company sponsors entities to which it transfers its interests in

tax-advantaged

investments to third parties. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, approximately ~~$3.9~~$5.1 billion of the Company’s assets and ~~$3.2~~$3.7 billion of its liabilities included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet were related to community development and

tax-advantaged

investment VIEs which the Company has consolidated, primarily related to these transfers. These amounts compared to ~~$4.0~~$4.9 billion and ~~$3.2~~$3.7 billion, respectively, at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The majority of the assets of these consolidated VIEs are reported in other assets, and the liabilities are reported in long-term debt and other liabilities. The assets of a particular VIE are the primary source of funds to settle its obligations. The creditors of the VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company’s exposure to the consolidated VIEs is generally limited to the carrying value of its variable interests plus any related tax credits previously recognized or transferred to others with a guarantee.

In addition, the Company sponsors a municipal bond securities tender option bond program. The Company controls the activities of the program’s entities, is entitled to the residual returns and provides liquidity and remarketing arrangements to the program. As a result, the Company has consolidated the program’s entities. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020, $2.8~~2021, $1.7 billion of

available-for-sale

investment securities and ~~$1.5~~$1.2 billion of short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet were related to the tender option bond program, compared with ~~$3.0~~$2.4 billion of

available-for-sale

investment securities and ~~$2.7~~$1.5 billion of short-term borrowings at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.


Note 6		Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Company capitalizes MSRs as separate assets when loans are sold and servicing is retained. MSRs may also be purchased from others. The Company carries MSRs at fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in earnings during the period in which they occur. The Company serviced ~~$214.6~~$215.0 billion of residential mortgage loans for others at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and ~~$226.0~~$211.8 billion at December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, including subserviced mortgages with no corresponding MSR asset. Included in mortgage banking revenue are the MSR fair value changes arising from market rate and model assumption changes, net of the value change in derivatives used to economically hedge MSRs. These changes resulted in a net ~~gains~~loss of $9$27 million and a net ~~losses~~gain of $2$24 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and a net ~~gains~~loss of ~~$58~~$147 million and a net ~~losses~~gain of $5$49 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Loan servicing and ancillary fees, not including valuation changes, included in mortgage banking revenue were ~~$177~~$178 million and ~~$188~~$174 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$537~~$353 million and ~~$547~~$360 million for the ~~nine~~six months ~~ended September~~end June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

The fair value of MSRs and their sensitivity to changes in interest rates is influenced by the mix of the servicing portfolio and characteristics of each segment of the portfolio. The Company’s servicing portfolio consists of the distinct portfolios of government-insured mortgages, conventional mortgages and Housing Finance Agency (“HFA”) mortgages. The servicing portfolios are predominantly comprised of fixed-rate agency loans with limited adjustable-rate or jumbo mortgage loans. The HFA servicing portfolio is comprised of loans originated under state and local housing authority program guidelines which assist purchases by first-time or

low-

to moderate-income homebuyers through a favorable rate subsidy, down payment and/or closing cost assistance on

government- and conventional-insured mortgages.

A summary of the Company’s MSRs and related characteristics by portfolio was as follows:

Note 12		Derivative Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into derivative transactions to manage various risks and to accommodate the business requirements of its customers. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value in other assets or in other liabilities. On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as either a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, net investment hedge, or a designation is not made as it is a customer-related transaction, an economic hedge for asset/liability risk management purposes or another stand-alone derivative created through the Company’s operations (“free-standing derivative”). When a derivative is designated as a fair value, cash flow or net investment hedge, the Company performs an assessment, at inception and, at a minimum, quarterly thereafter, to determine the effectiveness of the derivative in offsetting changes in the value or cash flows of the hedged item(s).

Fair Value Hedges

These derivatives are interest rate swaps the Company uses to hedge the change in fair value related to interest rate changes of its underlying

available-for-sale

investment securities and fixed-rate debt. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges, and changes in the fair value of the hedged items, are recorded in earnings.

Cash Flow Hedges

These derivatives are interest rate swaps the Company uses to hedge the forecasted cash flows from its underlying variable-rate debt. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the cash flows of the hedged items are realized. If a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is terminated or ceases to be highly effective, the gain or loss in other comprehensive income (loss) is


U.S. Bancorp		55

Table of Contents

amortized to earnings over the period the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings. If a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, hedge accounting is ceased and any gain or loss included in other comprehensive income (loss) is reported in earnings immediately, unless the forecasted transaction is at least reasonably possible of occurring, whereby the amounts remain within other comprehensive income (loss). At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had ~~$217~~$107 million

(net-of-tax)

of realized and unrealized losses on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), compared with ~~$51~~$189 million

(net-of-tax)

of realized and unrealized losses at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The estimated amount to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during

both

the remainder of ~~2020~~2021 and the next 12 months are losses of ~~$10~~$2 million

~~(net-of-tax)~~(net-of-tax

)

~~and $40 million~~

~~(net-of-tax),~~

~~respectively.~~. All cash flow hedges were highly effective for the three

and ~~nine~~ six

months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~

2021.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses forward commitments to sell specified amounts of certain foreign currencies, and

non-derivative

debt instruments, to hedge the volatility of its net investment in foreign operations driven by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The carrying amount of

non-derivative

debt instruments designated as net investment hedges was $1.4 billion ~~and $1.3 billion~~ at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019, respectively.~~2020.

Other Derivative Positions

The Company enters into free-standing derivatives to mitigate interest rate risk and for other risk management purposes. These derivatives include forward commitments to sell

to-be-announced

securities (“TBAs”) and other commitments to sell residential mortgage loans, which are used to economically hedge the interest


58		~~U.S. Bancorp~~

rate risk related to mortgage loans held for sale (“MLHFS”) and unfunded mortgage loan commitments. The Company also enters into interest rate swaps, swaptions, forward commitments to buy TBAs, U.S. Treasury and Eurodollar futures and options on U.S. Treasury futures to economically hedge the change in the fair value of the Company’s MSRs. The Company also enters into foreign currency forwards to economically hedge remeasurement gains and losses the Company recognizes on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company acts as a seller and buyer of interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts for its customers. The Company mitigates the market and liquidity risk associated with these customer derivatives by entering into similar offsetting positions with broker-dealers, or on a portfolio basis by entering into other derivative or

non-derivative

financial instruments that partially or fully offset the exposure to earnings from these customer-related positions. The Company’s customer derivatives and related hedges are monitored and reviewed by the Company’s Market Risk Committee, which establishes policies for market risk management, including exposure limits for each portfolio. The Company also has derivative contracts that are created through its operations, including certain unfunded mortgage loan commitments and swap agreements related to the sale of a portion of its Class B common and preferred shares of Visa Inc. Refer to Note 14 for further information on these swap agreements.

Derivatives are subject to credit risk associated with counterparties to the derivative contracts. The Company measures that credit risk using a credit valuation adjustment and includes it within the fair value of the derivative. The Company manages counterparty credit risk through diversification of its derivative positions among various counterparties, by entering into derivative positions that are centrally cleared through clearinghouses, by entering into master netting arrangements and, where possible, by requiring collateral arrangements. A master netting arrangement allows two counterparties, who have multiple derivative contracts with each other, the ability to net settle amounts under all contracts, including any related collateral, through a single payment and in a single currency. Collateral arrangements generally require the counterparty to deliver collateral (typically cash or U.S. Treasury and agency securities) equal to the Company’s net derivative receivable, subject to minimum transfer and credit rating requirements.

The Company’s collateral arrangements are predominately bilateral and, therefore, contain provisions that require collateralization of the Company’s net liability derivative positions. Required collateral coverage is based on net liability thresholds and may be contingent upon the Company’s credit rating from two of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. If the Company’s credit rating were to fall below credit ratings thresholds established in the collateral arrangements, the counterparties to the derivatives could request immediate additional collateral coverage up to and including full collateral coverage for derivatives in a net liability position. The aggregate fair value of all derivatives under collateral arrangements that were in a net liability position at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, was ~~$1.5~~$1.0 billion. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had ~~$1.3 billion~~$748 million of cash posted as collateral against this net liability position.


Note 13		Netting Arrangements for Certain Financial Instruments and Securities Financing Activities

The Company’s derivative portfolio consists of bilateral

over-the-counter

trades, certain interest rate derivatives and credit contracts required to be centrally cleared through clearinghouses per current regulations, and exchange-traded positions which may include U.S. Treasury and Eurodollar futures or options on U.S. Treasury futures. Of the Company’s ~~$651.1~~$712.5 billion total notional amount of derivative positions at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020, $330.9~~2021, $382.0 billion related to bilateral

over-the-counter

trades, ~~$305.7~~$316.9 billion related to those centrally cleared through clearinghouses and ~~$14.5~~$13.6 billion related to those that were exchange-traded. The Company’s derivative contracts typically include offsetting rights (referred to as netting arrangements), and depending on expected volume, credit risk, and counterparty preference, collateral maintenance may be required. For all derivatives under collateral support arrangements, fair value is determined daily and, depending on the collateral maintenance requirements, the Company and a counterparty may receive or deliver collateral, based upon the net fair value of all derivative positions between the Company and the counterparty. Collateral is typically cash, but securities may be allowed under collateral arrangements with certain counterparties. Receivables and payables related to cash collateral are included in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, along with the related derivative asset and liability fair values. Any securities pledged to counterparties as collateral remain on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Securities received from counterparties as collateral are not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, unless the counterparty defaults. In general, securities used as collateral can be sold, repledged or otherwise used by the party in possession. No restrictions exist on the use of cash collateral by either party. Refer to Note 12 for further discussion of the Company’s derivatives, including collateral arrangements.

As part of the Company’s treasury and broker-dealer operations, the Company executes transactions that are treated as securities sold under agreements to repurchase or securities purchased under agreements to resell, both of which are accounted for as collateralized financings. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase include repurchase agreements and securities loaned transactions. Securities purchased under agreements to resell include reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowed transactions. For securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the Company records a liability for the cash received, which is included in short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For securities purchased under agreements to resell, the Company records a receivable for the cash paid, which is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Securities transferred to counterparties under repurchase agreements and securities loaned transactions continue to be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, are measured at fair value, and are included in investment securities or other assets. Securities received from counterparties under reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowed transactions are not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet unless the counterparty defaults. The securities transferred under repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions typically are U.S. Treasury and agency securities, residential agency mortgage-backed securities or corporate debt securities. The securities loaned or borrowed typically are corporate debt securities traded by the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary. In general, the securities transferred can be sold, repledged or otherwise used by the party in possession. No restrictions exist on the use of cash collateral by either party. Repurchase/reverse repurchase and securities loaned/borrowed transactions expose the Company to counterparty risk. The Company manages this risk by performing assessments, independent of business line managers, and establishing concentration limits on each counterparty. Additionally, these transactions include collateral arrangements that require the fair values of the underlying securities to be determined daily, resulting in cash being obtained or refunded to counterparties to maintain specified collateral levels.

The Company executes its derivative, repurchase/reverse repurchase and securities loaned/borrowed transactions under the respective industry standard agreements. These agreements include master netting arrangements that allow for multiple contracts executed with the same counterparty to be viewed as a single arrangement. This allows for net settlement of a single amount on a daily basis. In the event of default, the master netting arrangement provides for

close-out

netting, which allows all of these positions with the defaulting counterparty to be terminated and net settled with a single payment amount.

The Company has elected to offset the assets and liabilities under netting arrangements for the balance sheet presentation of the majority of its derivative counterparties. The netting occurs at the counterparty level, and includes all assets and liabilities related to the derivative contracts, including those associated with cash collateral received or delivered. The Company has not elected to offset the assets and liabilities under netting arrangements for the balance sheet presentation of repurchase/reverse repurchase and securities loaned/borrowed transactions.

The following tables provide information on the Company’s netting adjustments, and items not offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet but available for offset in the event of default:

Note 14		Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

The Company uses fair value measurements for the initial recording of certain assets and liabilities, periodic remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities, and disclosures. Derivatives, trading and

available-for-sale

investment securities, MSRs and substantially all MLHFS are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of

lower-of-cost-or-fair

value accounting or impairment write-downs of individual assets.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement reflects all of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset and the risk of nonperformance.

The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy for valuation techniques used to measure financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 includes U.S. Treasury securities, as well as exchange-traded instruments.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes debt securities that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and which are typically valued using third party pricing services; derivative contracts and other assets and liabilities, including securities, whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data; and MLHFS whose values are determined using quoted prices for similar assets or pricing models with inputs that are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes MSRs and certain derivative contracts.

Valuation Methodologies

The valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value are described below. In addition, the following section includes an indication of the level of the fair value hierarchy in which the


64		~~U.S. Bancorp~~

assets or liabilities are classified. Where appropriate, the descriptions include information about the valuation models


6 2		U.S. Bancorp

Table of Contents

and key inputs to those models. During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, there were no significant changes to the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure fair value.

Available-For-Sale

Investment Securities

When quoted market prices for identical securities are available in an active market, these prices are used to determine fair value and these securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 investment securities include U.S. Treasury and exchange-traded securities.

For other securities, quoted market prices may not be readily available for the specific securities. When possible, the Company determines fair value based on market observable information, including quoted market prices for similar securities, inactive transaction prices, and broker quotes. These securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 valuations are generally provided by a ~~third-party~~third party pricing service. Level 2 investment securities are predominantly agency mortgage-backed securities, certain other asset-backed securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions and agency debt securities.

Mortgage Loans Held For Sale

MLHFS measured at fair value, for which an active secondary market and readily available market prices exist, are initially valued at the transaction price and are subsequently valued by comparison to instruments with similar collateral and risk profiles. MLHFS are classified within Level 2. Included in mortgage banking revenue ~~was a~~were net ~~gain~~gains of ~~$97~~$98 million and ~~$10~~$81 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and ~~2019, respectively,~~a net loss of $117 million and a net gain of ~~$271 million and $53~~$174 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, from the changes to fair value of these MLHFS under fair value option accounting guidance. Changes in fair value due to instrument specific credit risk were immaterial. Interest income for MLHFS is measured based on contractual interest rates and reported as interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Electing to measure MLHFS at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better matches changes in fair value of these assets with changes in the value of the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

MSRs are valued using a discounted cash flow methodology, and are classified within Level 3. The Company determines fair value of the MSRs by projecting future cash flows for different interest rate scenarios using prepayment rates and other assumptions, and discounts these cash flows using a risk adjusted rate based on option adjusted spread levels. There is minimal observable market activity for MSRs on comparable portfolios and, therefore, the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment. Refer to Note 6 for further information on MSR valuation assumptions.

Derivatives

The majority of derivatives held by the Company are executed

over-the-counter

or centrally cleared through clearinghouses and are valued using market standard cash flow valuation techniques. The models incorporate inputs, depending on the type of derivative, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates and volatility. All derivative values incorporate an assessment of the risk of counterparty nonperformance, measured based on the Company’s evaluation of credit risk including external assessments of credit risk. The Company monitors and manages its nonperformance risk by considering its ability to net derivative positions under master netting arrangements, as well as collateral received or provided under collateral arrangements. Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure the fair value of derivatives, at a counterparty level, on a net basis. The majority of the derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the significant inputs to the models, including nonperformance risk, are observable. However, certain derivative transactions are with counterparties where risk of nonperformance cannot be observed in the market and, therefore, the credit valuation adjustments result in these derivatives being classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company also has other derivative contracts that are created through its operations, including commitments to purchase and originate mortgage loans and swap agreements executed in conjunction with the sale of a portion of its Class B common and preferred shares of Visa Inc. (the “Visa swaps”). The mortgage loan commitments are valued by pricing models that include market observable and unobservable inputs, which result in the commitments being classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The unobservable inputs include assumptions about the percentage of commitments that actually become a closed loan and the MSR value that is inherent in the underlying loan value. The Visa swaps require payments by either the Company or the purchaser of the Visa Inc. Class B common and preferred shares when there are changes in the conversion rate of the Visa Inc. Class B common and preferred shares to Visa Inc. Class A common and preferred shares, respectively, as well as quarterly payments to the purchaser based on specified terms of the agreements. Management reviews and updates the Visa swaps fair value in conjunction with its


~~U.S. Bancorp~~		65

review of Visa Inc. related litigation contingencies, and the associated escrow funding. The expected litigation


U.S. Bancorp		6 3

Table of Contents

resolution impacts the Visa Inc. Class B common share to Visa Inc. Class A common share conversion rate, as well as the ultimate termination date for the Visa swaps. Accordingly, the Visa swaps are classified within Level 3. Refer to Note 15 for further information on the Visa Inc. restructuring and related card association litigation.

Significant Unobservable Inputs of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities

The following section provides information to facilitate an understanding of the uncertainty in the fair value measurements for the Company’s Level 3 assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This section includes a description of the significant inputs used by the Company and a description of any interrelationships between these inputs. The discussion below excludes nonrecurring fair value measurements of collateral value used for impairment measures for loans and OREO. These valuations utilize ~~third-party~~third party appraisal or broker price opinions, and are classified as Level 3 due to the significant judgment involved.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s MSRs are expected prepayments and the option adjusted spread that is added to the risk-free rate to discount projected cash flows. Significant increases in either of these inputs in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Significant decreases in either of these inputs in isolation would have resulted in a significantly higher fair value measurement. There is no direct interrelationship between prepayments and option adjusted spread. Prepayment rates generally move in the opposite direction of market interest rates. Option adjusted spread is generally impacted by changes in market return requirements.

The following table shows the significant valuation assumption ranges for MSRs at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020:~~2021:


	Minimum			Maximum			Weighted Average (a)			Minimum			Maximum			Weighted- Average (a)
Expected prepayment		13	%		24	%		19	%		3	%		15	%		11	%
Option adjusted spread		6			11			7			6			11			7

(a)	Determined based on the relative fair value of the related mortgage loans serviced.

Derivatives

The Company has two distinct Level 3 derivative portfolios: (i) the Company’s commitments to purchase and originate mortgage loans that meet the requirements of a derivative and (ii) the Company’s asset/liability and customer-related derivatives that are Level 3 due to unobservable inputs related to measurement of risk of nonperformance by the counterparty. In addition, the Company’s Visa swaps are classified within Level 3.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s derivative commitments to purchase and originate mortgage loans are the percentage of commitments that actually become a closed loan and the MSR value that is inherent in the underlying loan value. A significant increase in the rate of loans that close would have resulted in a larger derivative asset or liability. A significant increase in the inherent MSR value would have resulted in an increase in the derivative asset or a reduction in the derivative liability. Expected loan close rates and the inherent MSR values are directly impacted by changes in market rates and will generally move in the same direction as interest rates.

The following table shows the significant valuation assumption ranges for the Company’s derivative commitments to purchase and originate mortgage loans at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020:~~2021:


	Minimum			Maximum			Weighted Average (a)			Minimum			Maximum			Weighted- Average (a)
Expected loan close rate		5	%		100	%		75	%		6	%		100	%		74	%
Inherent MSR value (basis points per loan)		19			195			117			47			187			116

(a)	Determined based on the relative fair value of the related mortgage loans.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of certain of the Company’s asset/liability and customer-related derivatives is the credit valuation adjustment related to the risk of counterparty nonperformance. A significant increase in the credit valuation adjustment would have resulted in a lower fair value measurement. A significant decrease in the credit valuation adjustment would have resulted in a higher fair value measurement. The credit valuation adjustment is impacted by changes in market rates, volatility, market implied credit spreads, and loss recovery rates, as well as the Company’s assessment of the counterparty’s credit position. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the


66		~~U.S. Bancorp~~

minimum, maximum and ~~weighted average~~weighted-average credit valuation adjustment as a percentage of the net fair value of the counterparty’s derivative contracts prior to adjustment was 0 percent, ~~101~~94 percent and 21 percent, respectively.


6 4		U.S. Bancorp

Table of Contents

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Visa swaps are management’s estimate of the probability of certain litigation scenarios occurring, and the timing of the resolution of the related litigation loss estimates in excess, or shortfall, of the Company’s proportional share of escrow funds. An increase in the loss estimate or a delay in the resolution of the related litigation would have resulted in an increase in the derivative liability. A decrease in the loss estimate or an acceleration of the resolution of the related litigation would have resulted in a decrease in the derivative liability.

Visa Restructuring and Card ~~Brand~~Association Litigation

The Company’s payment services business issues credit and debit cards and acquires credit and debit card transactions through the Visa U.S.A. Inc. card ~~brand~~association or its affiliates (collectively “Visa”). In 2007, Visa completed a restructuring and issued shares of Visa Inc. common stock to its financial institution members in contemplation of its initial public offering (“IPO”) completed in the first quarter of 2008 (the “Visa Reorganization”). As a part of the Visa Reorganization, the Company received its proportionate number of shares of Visa Inc. common stock, which were subsequently converted to Class B shares of Visa Inc. (“Class B shares”).

Visa U.S.A. Inc. (“Visa U.S.A.”) and MasterCard International (collectively, the “Card Brands”) are defendants in antitrust lawsuits challenging the practices of the Card Brands (the “Visa Litigation”). Visa U.S.A. member banks have a contingent obligation to indemnify Visa Inc. under the Visa U.S.A. bylaws (which were modified at the time of the restructuring in October 2007) for potential losses arising from the Visa Litigation. The indemnification by the Visa U.S.A. member banks has no specific maximum amount. Using proceeds from its IPO and through reductions to the conversion ratio applicable to the Class B shares held by Visa U.S.A. member banks, Visa Inc. has funded an escrow account for the benefit of member financial institutions to fund their indemnification obligations associated with the Visa Litigation. The receivable related to the escrow account is classified in other liabilities as a direct offset to the related Visa Litigation contingent liability.

In October 2012, Visa signed a settlement agreement to resolve class action claims associated with the ~~multi-district~~multidistrict interchange litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “Multi-District Litigation”). The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the approval of that settlement and remanded the matter to the district court. Thereafter, the case was split into two putative class actions, one seeking damages (the “Damages Action”) and a separate class action seeking injunctive relief only (the “Injunctive Action”). In September 2018, Visa signed a new settlement agreement, superseding the original settlement agreement, to resolve the Damages Action. The Damages Action settlement was approved by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, but is now on appeal. The Injunctive Action, which generally seeks changes to Visa rules, is still pending.

Other Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities

The following table is a summary of other guarantees and contingent liabilities of the Company at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020:~~2021:

(a)

The maximum potential future payments do not include loan sales where the Company provides standard representation and warranties to the buyer against losses related to loan underwriting documentation defects that may have existed at the time of sale that generally are identified after the occurrence of a triggering event such as delinquency. For these types of loan sales, the maximum potential future payments is generally the unpaid principal balance of loans sold measured at the end of the current reporting period. Actual losses will be significantly less than the maximum exposure, as only a fraction of loans sold will have a representation and warranty breach, and any losses on repurchase would generally be mitigated by any collateral held against the loans.

Merchant Processing

The Company, through its subsidiaries, provides merchant processing services. Under the rules of credit card associations, a merchant processor retains a contingent liability for credit card transactions processed. This contingent liability arises in the event of a billing dispute between the merchant and a cardholder that is ultimately resolved in the cardholder’s favor. In this situation, the transaction is “charged-back” to the merchant and the disputed amount is credited or otherwise refunded to the cardholder. If the Company is unable to collect this amount from the merchant, it bears the loss for the amount of the refund paid to the cardholder.


70		~~U.S. Bancorp~~

The Company currently processes card transactions in the United States, Canada and Europe through wholly-owned ~~subsidiaries and a network of other financial institutions.~~subsidiaries. In the event a merchant was unable to fulfill product or services subject to future delivery, such as airline tickets, the Company could become financially liable for refunding the purchase price of such products or services purchased through the credit card associations under the charge-back provisions. Charge-back risk related to these merchants is evaluated in a manner similar to credit risk assessments and, as such, merchant processing contracts contain various provisions to protect the Company in the event of default. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the value of airline tickets purchased to be delivered at a future date through card transactions processed by the Company was ~~$12.0~~$7.7 billion. The Company held collateral of ~~$517~~$638 million in escrow deposits, letters of credit and indemnities from financial institutions, and liens on various assets. In addition to specific collateral or other credit enhancements, the Company maintains a liability for its implied guarantees associated with future delivery. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the liability was ~~$176~~$185 million primarily related to these airline processing arrangements.

Asset Sales

The Company regularly sells loans to GSEs as part of its mortgage banking activities. The Company provides customary representations and warranties to GSEs in conjunction with these sales. These representations and warranties generally require the Company to repurchase assets if it is subsequently determined that a loan did not meet specified criteria, such as a documentation deficiency or rescission of mortgage insurance. If the Company is unable to cure or refute a repurchase request, the Company is generally obligated to repurchase the loan or otherwise reimburse the GSE for losses. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had reserved ~~$19~~$18 million for potential losses from representation and warranty obligations, compared with $9$19 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The Company’s reserve reflects management’s best estimate of losses for representation and warranty obligations. The Company’s repurchase reserve is modeled at the loan level, taking into consideration the individual credit quality and borrower activity that has transpired since origination. The model applies credit quality and economic risk factors to derive a probability of default and potential repurchase that are based on the Company’s historical loss experience, and estimates loss severity based on expected collateral value. The Company also considers qualitative factors that may result in anticipated losses differing from historical loss trends.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had $8$15 million and ~~$10~~$13 million, respectively, of unresolved representation and warranty claims from GSEs. The Company does not have a significant amount of unresolved claims from investors other than GSEs.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to various litigation and regulatory matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company establishes reserves for such matters when potential losses become probable and can be reasonably


U.S. Bancorp		69

Table of Contents

estimated. The Company believes the ultimate resolution of existing legal and regulatory matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, in light of the uncertainties inherent in these matters, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results from operations for a particular period, and future changes in circumstances or additional information could result in additional accruals or resolution in excess of established accruals, which could adversely affect the Company’s results from operations, potentially materially.

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Litigation

Starting in 2011, the Company and other large financial institutions have been sued in their capacity as trustee for residential mortgage–backed securities trusts. In the lawsuits brought against the Company, the investors allege that the Company’s banking subsidiary, U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), as trustee caused them to incur substantial losses by failing to enforce loan repurchase obligations and failing to abide by appropriate standards of care after events of default allegedly occurred. The plaintiffs in these matters seek monetary damages in unspecified amounts and most also seek equitable relief.

Regulatory Matters

The Company is continually subject to examinations, inquiries and investigations in areas of heightened regulatory scrutiny, such as compliance, risk management, third-party risk management and consumer protection. For example, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) is investigating certain of the Company’s consumer sales practices, and the Company has responded and continues to respond to the CFPB. The Company is cooperating fully with all pending examinations, inquiries and investigations, any of which could lead to administrative or legal proceedings or settlements. Remedies in these proceedings or settlements may include fines, penalties, restitution or alterations in the Company’s business practices (which may increase the Company’s operating expenses and decrease its revenue).

Outlook

Due to their complex nature, it can be years before litigation and regulatory matters are resolved. The Company may be unable to develop an estimate or range of loss where matters are in early stages, there are significant factual or legal issues to be resolved, damages are unspecified or uncertain, or there is uncertainty as to a litigation class


~~U.S. Bancorp~~		71

being certified or the outcome of pending motions, appeals or proceedings. For those litigation and regulatory matters where the Company has information to develop an estimate or range of loss, the Company believes the upper end of the range of reasonably possible losses in aggregate, in excess of any reserves established for matters where a loss is considered probable, will not be material to its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company’s estimates are subject to significant judgment and uncertainties, and the matters underlying the estimates will change from time to time. Actual results may vary significantly from the current estimates.


Note 16		Business Segments

Within the Company, financial performance is measured by major lines of business based on the products and services provided to customers through its distribution channels. These operating segments are components of the Company about which financial information is prepared and is evaluated regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has five reportable operating segments:

Corporate and Commercial Banking

non-profit

and public sector clients.

Consumer and Business Banking

Consumer and Business Banking delivers products and services through banking offices, telephone servicing and sales,

on-line

services, direct mail, ATM processing and mobile devices. It encompasses community banking, metropolitan banking and indirect lending, as well as mortgage banking.

Wealth Management and Investment Services

Payment Services

Payment Services includes consumer and business credit cards, stored-value cards, debit cards, corporate, government and purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit and merchant processing.

Treasury and Corporate Support

Treasury and Corporate Support includes the Company’s investment portfolios, funding, capital management, interest rate risk management, income taxes not allocated to business segments, including

Table of Contents

most investments in

tax-advantaged

projects, and the residual aggregate of those expenses associated with corporate activities that are managed on a consolidated basis.

Basis of Presentation

Business segment results are derived from the Company’s business unit profitability reporting systems by specifically attributing managed balance sheet assets, deposits and other liabilities and their related income or expense. The allowance for credit losses and related provision expense are allocated to the business segments according to the volume and credit quality of the loan balances managed, but with the impact of changes in economic forecasts recorded in Treasury and Corporate Support. Goodwill and other intangible assets are assigned to the business segments based on the mix of business of an entity acquired by the Company. Within the Company, capital levels are evaluated and managed centrally; however, capital is allocated to the business segments to support evaluation of business performance. Business segments are allocated capital on a risk-adjusted basis considering economic and regulatory capital requirements. Generally, the determination of the amount of capital allocated to each business segment includes credit allocations following a Basel III regulatory framework. Interest income and expense is determined based on the assets and liabilities managed by the business segment. Because funding and asset liability management is a central function, funds transfer-pricing methodologies are utilized to allocate a cost of funds used or credit for funds provided to all business segment assets and liabilities, respectively, using a matched funding concept. Also, each business unit is allocated the taxable-equivalent benefit of

tax-exempt

products. The residual effect on net interest income of asset/liability management activities is included in Treasury and Corporate Support. Noninterest income and expenses directly managed by each business segment, including fees, service charges, salaries and benefits, and other direct revenues and costs are accounted for within each segment’s financial results in a manner similar to the consolidated financial statements. Occupancy costs are allocated based on utilization of facilities by the business segments. Generally, operating losses are charged to the business segment when the loss event is realized in a manner similar to a loan

charge-off.

Noninterest expenses incurred by centrally managed operations or business segments that directly support another business segment’s operations are charged to the applicable business segment based on its utilization of those services,


72		~~U.S. Bancorp~~

primarily measured by the volume of customer activities, number of employees or other relevant factors. These allocated expenses are reported as net shared services expense within noninterest expense. Certain activities that do not directly support the operations of the business segments or for which the business segments are not considered financially accountable in evaluating their performance are not charged to the business segments. The income or expenses associated with these corporate activities is reported within the Treasury and Corporate Support business segment. Income taxes are assessed to each business segment at a standard tax rate with the residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate included in Treasury and Corporate Support.

Item

1. Legal Proceedings

— See the information set forth in Note 15 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item

1A. Risk Factors

— There are a number of factors that may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial results or stock price. ~~These risks are described elsewhere~~Refer to “Risk Factors” in ~~this report or the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on~~

~~Form 10-K~~

for the year ended December 31, 2019. Additional risks that the Company currently does not know about or currently views as immaterial may also impair the Company’s business or adversely impact its financial results or stock price.

~~There are no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Item 1A of~~ the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, ~~2019, and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form~~

~~10-Q~~

2020, for ~~the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 (the “June~~

~~10-Q”),~~

~~except that the following risk factor replaces the risk factor in the June~~

~~10-Q:~~

~~The Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected by the~~

~~COVID-19~~

~~pandemic~~

~~The~~

~~COVID-19~~

pandemic has created economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected, and are likely to continue to adversely affect, the Company’s business, financial condition, capital, liquidity and results of operations. The Company cannot predict at this time the extent to which it will continue to be negatively affected by the

~~COVID-19~~

~~pandemic. The extent of any continued or future adverse effects of the~~

~~COVID-19~~

pandemic will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and outside the Company’s control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on the Company’s employees, customers, counterparties and service providers, as well as other market participants, and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. If the pandemic is prolonged, or other diseases emerge that give rise to similar effects, the adverse impact on the global economy and Company could deepen.

~~Many of the Company’s counterparties and third-party service providers have been, and may further be, affected by~~

~~“stay-at-home”~~

orders, market volatility and other factors that increase their risks of business disruption or that may otherwise affect their ability to perform under the terms of any agreements with the Company or provide essential services. As a result, the Company’s operational and other risks are generally expected to increase until the pandemic subsides. In addition, the Company’s business operations may be disrupted if significant portions of its workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, caring for dependents, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic. The Company has temporarily, and in some cases permanently, closed certain of its offices and reduced operating hours and/or lobby services at its branches. The Company may also face heightened cybersecurity, information security or other operational risks resulting from alternative working arrangements of its employees.

In response to the pandemic and to support its customers, the Company is offering fee waivers, payment deferrals and other expanded assistance to credit card, automobile, mortgage, small business and personal lending customers, including committing in certain states in which it operates, to suspend mortgage payments and foreclosure sales for financially impacted customers for certain periods of time. A significant number of the Company’s customers have already sought to suspend their mortgage payments under these programs. Suspensions of mortgage payments and foreclosures and reduced pricing under these programs may adversely affect the Company’s revenue and results of operations. In addition, if these or other measures provided by the Company are not effective in mitigating the financial consequences of

~~COVID-19~~

on customers, including providing loans under various newly created government-sponsored lending programs such as the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), the Company may experience higher rates of default, increased credit losses and additional increases in its allowance for credit losses in future periods.

~~Certain industries where the Company has credit exposure, including the transportation industry, and in particular air travel, have experienced significant operational challenges as a result of~~

~~COVID-19.~~

~~These negative effects have resulted in a number of corporate lending clients making higher than usual draws on outstanding lines of credit over the last several months. Many~~discussion of these ~~customers have since paid down these draws, but if current economic conditions~~


~~U.S. Bancorp~~		79

~~persist or worsen, client draws on outstanding lines of credit may begin to increase again which may adversely affect the Company’s liquidity. The economic effects of~~

~~COVID-19~~

may also cause the Company’s customers to be unable to pay their loans as they come due or decrease the value of collateral, which the Company expects would cause significant increases in its credit losses and result in additional increases in the Company’s allowance for credit losses. In addition, the Company could be exposed to further losses in its role as merchant processor of credit card transactions, as under the rules of credit card associations, a merchant processor retains a contingent liability for credit card transactions processed. In the event a merchant was unable to fulfill product or services subject to future delivery, such as airline tickets, the Company could become financially liable for refunding to the cardholders the purchase price of such products or services purchased through credit card associations, in the event the merchant was not able to do so.

Net interest income is significantly affected by market rates of interest. The significant reductions to the federal funds rate have led to a decrease in the rates and yields on U.S. Treasury securities, in some cases declining below zero. If interest rates are reduced further in response to

~~COVID-19,~~

the Company’s net interest income could continue to decline, perhaps significantly. The overall effect of lower interest rates cannot be predicted at this time and depends on future actions the Federal Reserve may take to increase or reduce the targeted federal funds rate in response to the

~~COVID-19~~

~~pandemic and resulting economic conditions.~~

The Company, through its subsidiaries, provides credit and debit card, corporate payments products and merchant processing services. Revenues from its payment services businesses depend on consumer and business credit card spending, including at many small and medium-sized businesses. Due to responses to

~~COVID-19,~~

~~including~~

~~stay-at-home~~

orders that require businesses other than those defined as essential to close and for consumers to remain at home unless they are engaged in essential activities, consumer and business credit card spending significantly declined. Although

~~stay-at-home~~

orders have gradually been lifted and business activity has increased, if business closures reoccur, consumers are reluctant to return to open businesses or unemployment continues to stay at elevated levels, the Company expects to experience further adverse effects on its payment services businesses. This negative effect could continue after the pandemic subsides if a substantial number of businesses were to close permanently as a result of

~~COVID-19’s~~

~~economic effects or if consumer and business spending were to remain depressed.~~

~~The effects of the~~

~~COVID-19~~

pandemic on economic and market conditions may negatively affect the Company’s capital and leverage ratios. During 2020 the Federal Reserve implemented measures, requiring all large bank holding companies to preserve capital through the suspension of share repurchase programs and capping common stock dividends to existing rates that do not exceed the average of the last four quarters’ earnings. These capital preservation actions apply to the third and fourth quarters of 2020 but may be extended or modified by the Federal Reserve as economic conditions develop. The

~~COVID-19~~

pandemic may cause the Company to further extend the suspension of its share repurchase program and limit capital distributions, including reducing or suspending its common stock dividend. Additionally, as a result of the

~~COVID-19~~

~~sensitivity analysis conducted by the Federal Reserve, banks are required to resubmit capital plans in the fourth quarter of 2020 to reflect current stressed capital conditions.~~

Governmental authorities worldwide have taken unprecedented measures to stabilize the markets and support economic growth. However, these measures may not be sufficient to address the negative economic effects of

~~COVID-19~~

~~or avert severe and prolonged reductions in economic activity.~~

Many financial institutions, including the Company, have received inquiries from the United States Congress, regulators and other government agencies regarding implementation of provisions and programs under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, and also are subject to early-stage litigation concerning their participation in the PPP under that Act. The Company’s involvement in these and other programs created in response to the

~~COVID-19~~

pandemic may lead to additional government and regulatory inquiries and litigation in the future, any of which could negatively impact the Company’s business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

~~Other negative effects of~~

~~COVID-19~~

and the resulting economic and market disruptions, including customer disputes, challenges of transitioning employees back to the workplace, litigation and governmental and regulatory scrutiny of response actions taken by the Company, that may impact the Company’s business, reputation, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations cannot be predicted at this time. However, it is likely that the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations will continue to be adversely affected until the pandemic subsides and the domestic economy recovers. Further, the

~~COVID-19~~

~~pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form~~

~~10-K.~~

~~Until the pandemic subsides, the Company expects reduced revenues from its lending businesses, possible additional increases in its allowance and related provision for credit losses and decreased~~


80		~~U.S. Bancorp~~

revenue from its payments businesses. Even after the pandemic subsides, it is possible that the domestic and other major global economies will continue to experience a prolonged recession, which the Company expects would adversely affect its business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations, potentially materially.risks.
