U.S. BANCORP REPORTS RECORD EARNINGS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2014

MINNEAPOLIS, July 16, 2014— U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB) today reported record net income of $1,495 million for the second quarter of 2014, or $.78 per diluted common share, compared with $1,484 million, or $.76 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2013. The second quarter of 2014 included two previously disclosed notable items. The Company reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve an investigation relating to the endorsement of mortgage loans under the Federal Housing Administration’s insurance program (“FHA DOJ settlement”) for $200 million. In addition, prior to the FHA DOJ settlement, the Company sold 3.0 million shares of the Class B common stock of Visa Inc. resulting in a net pretax gain of $214 million (“Visa sale”). Combined, these notable items had no impact to diluted earnings per common share for the current quarter.

Highlights for the second quarter of 2014 included:

• Acquisition of Chicago-area Charter One Bank franchise in late June 2014, including $4.8 billion of deposits and $ .9 billion of loans, nearly doubles deposit market share in the Chicago area

• Growth in average total loans of 6.8 percent over the second quarter of 2013 (6.7 percent excluding the Charter One acquisition and 8.3 percent excluding covered loans) and 2.0 percent on a linked quarter basis (1.9 percent excluding the Charter One acquisition and 2.2 percent excluding covered loans)

• Growth in average total commercial loans of 12.4 percent over the second quarter of 2013 and 5.9 percent over the first quarter of 2014

• Growth in average total commercial real estate loans of 6.9 percent over the second quarter of 2013 and 1.1 percent over the first quarter of 2014

• Growth in average commercial and commercial real estate commitments of 12.7 percent year-over-year and 3.1 percent over the prior quarter

• Strong new lending activity of $55.5 billion during the second quarter, including:

• $38.4 billion of new and renewed commercial and commercial real estate commitments

• $2.8 billion of lines related to new credit card accounts

• $14.3 billion of mortgage and other retail loan originations

(b) Computed as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis and noninterest income excluding net securities gains (losses) and intangible amortization.

Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp was $1,495 million for the second quarter of 2014, .7 percent higher than the $1,484 million for the second quarter of 2013, and 7.0 percent higher than the $1,397 million for the first quarter of 2014. Diluted earnings per common share of $.78 in the second quarter of 2014 were $.02 higher than the second quarter of 2013 and $.05 higher than the previous quarter. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 1.60 percent and 15.1 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2014, compared with 1.70 percent and 16.1 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2013. The provision for credit losses was lower than net charge-offs by $25 million in the second quarter of 2014, $35 million lower than net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2014, and $30 million lower than net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2013.

U.S. Bancorp Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Richard K. Davis said, “Today, U.S Bancorp reported record second quarter earnings of $1.5 billion, or $.78 per diluted share, which reflects the overall strength and diversity of our business. Once again, we delivered strong performance across key metrics with returns on average assets and average common equity of 1.60 percent and 15.1 percent, respectively, and industry-leading efficiency. These results highlight the benefits of our diversified business strategy and prudent expense management philosophy as we continue to produce strong returns for our shareholders.

“Average loan growth continued to be strong at 6.8 percent year-over-year and 2.0 percent on a linked quarter basis. Total commercial loans and commercial real estate loans were both strong, up 12.4 percent and 6.9 percent, respectively, compared with the prior year quarter. Growth in both of these categories highlights our Company’s ability to deepen and grow customer relationships, as well as gain new customers and market share. Line utilization turned slightly positive after an extended period of decline, a potentially encouraging sign for loan growth going forward.

“The second quarter of each year is typically one of our strongest for fee revenue growth and this year was no exception, as all of our fee-based businesses showed growth compared with the first quarter of 2014. Expenses remained well controlled. Credit quality continued to be strong, as the ratio of net charge-offs to average loans declined to .58 percent compared with .70 percent and .59 percent in the prior year quarter and linked quarter, respectively. In addition, nonperforming assets decreased compared to both the prior year quarter and on a linked quarter basis. We expect overall credit quality to remain relatively stable over the next few quarters.

“Last month, our board of directors approved a 6.5 percent increase in the dividend rate on our common stock to $.98 per share on an annualized basis. The higher dividend, combined with the repurchase of 15 million shares during the quarter resulted in a 75 percent return of earnings to shareholders, in line with our stated 60-80 percent objective. Once again, we met this objective while maintaining strong capital ratios, with a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 8.9 percent estimated under the Basel III standardized approach as if fully implemented and 9.6 percent under the transition rules.

“We have frequently noted our company-wide focus on extending our advantage in every part of the business, across all geographies in which we operate. In line with that focus, we completed the acquisition of the Chicago-area Charter One Bank franchise in late June, which significantly expands our presence in that market and we welcome our new customers to U.S. Bank. I am excited to have new members of the U.S Bank team in Chicago join the over 67,000 people who have made U.S. Bank the great company it is today. With industry-leading financial strength and stability, widely recognized innovative products and services, and a talented and motivated team of exceptional people, we are well positioned to remain industry leaders.”

Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp for the second quarter of 2014 was $11 million (.7 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2013, and $98 million (7.0 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2014. The increase in net incomeyear-over-year was principally due to an increase in total net revenue and a lower provision for credit losses. The increase in net income on a linked quarter basis was principally due to an increase in total net revenue.

Total net revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis for the second quarter of 2014 was $5,188 million; $240 million (4.9 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2013, reflecting a 2.7 percent increase in net interest income and a 7.4 percent increase in noninterest income. The increase in net interest income year-over-year was the result of an increase in average earning assets and continued growth in lower cost core deposit funding. Noninterest income increased year-over-year, primarily due to higher revenue in most fee businesses, and the Visa sale, partially offset by lower mortgage banking revenue. Total net revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis increased on a linked quarter basis, reflecting a 1.4 percent increase in net interest income, combined with a 15.9 percent increase in noninterest income, mainly due to seasonally higher fee revenue and the Visa sale.

Total noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2014 was $2,753 million; $196 million (7.7 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2013 and $209 million (8.2 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2014. The increase in total noninterest expenseyear-over-year and on a linked quarter basis was due to the FHA DOJ settlement. Excluding this expense, noninterest expense was essentially flat year-over-year and on a linked quarter basis.

The Company’s provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2014 was $324 million, $18 million (5.9 percent) higher than the prior quarter and $38 million (10.5 percent) lower than the second quarter of 2013. The provision for credit losses was lower than net charge-offs by $25 million in the second quarter of 2014, $35 million lower than net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2014, and $30 million lower than net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2013. Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2014 were $349 million, compared with $341 million in the first quarter of 2014, and $392 million in the second quarter of 2013. Given current economic conditions, the Company expects the level of net charge-offs to remain relatively stable in the third quarter of 2014.

Nonperforming assets include assets originated or acquired by the Company, as well as loans and other real estate acquired under FDIC loss sharing agreements that substantially reduce the risk of credit losses to the Company (“covered assets”). Excluding covered assets, nonperforming assets were $1,766 million at June 30, 2014, compared with $1,794 million at March 31, 2014, and $1,921 million at June 30, 2013. The decrease in nonperforming assets, excluding covered assets, compared with a year ago was driven primarily by reductions in the commercial mortgage portfolio, as well as by improvement in construction and development and credit card loans. Covered nonperforming assets were $177 million at June 30, 2014, compared with $205 million at March 31, 2014, and $355 million at June 30, 2013. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans was 1.82 percent at June 30, 2014, compared with 1.89 percent at March 31, 2014, and 2.02 percent at June 30, 2013. The Company expects total nonperforming assets to remain relatively stable in the third quarter of 2014.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in the second quarter of 2014 was $2,744 million, an increase of $72 million (2.7 percent) from the second quarter of 2013. The increase was the result of growth in average earning assets and growth in lower cost core deposit funding, partially offset by lower loan fees and lower rates on new loans and securities. Average earning assets were $24.1 billion (7.7 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2013, driven by increases of $15.3 billion (6.8 percent) in average total loans and $13.1 billion (17.7 percent) in average investment securities, partially offset by a decrease of $4.0 billion (64.3 percent) in average loans held for sale. Net interest income increased $38 million (1.4 percent) on a linked quarter basis, due to higher average earning assets and an additional day in the current quarter relative to the first quarter of 2014, partially offset by lower loan rates. The net interest margin in the second quarter of 2014 was 3.27 percent, compared with 3.43 percent in the second quarter of 2013, and 3.35 percent in the first quarter of 2014. The decline in the net interest margin on a year-over-year basis primarily reflected lower reinvestment rates on investment securities, as well as growth in the investment portfolio at lower average rates, and lower rates on new loans, partially offset by lower rates on deposits and short-term

borrowings and a reduction in higher cost long-term debt. On a linked quarter basis, the reduction in net interest margin was principally due to growth in lower rate investment securities and lower rates on new loans, principally due to higher growth in wholesale as compared to retail loans.

Average total loans were $15.3 billion (6.8 percent) higher in the second quarter of 2014 than the second quarter of 2013, driven by growth in commercial loans (13.7 percent), residential mortgages (10.5 percent), total commercial real estate (6.9 percent), retail leasing (6.4 percent), credit card (5.9 percent) and other retail loans (5.4 percent). These increases were partially offset by declines in home equity and second mortgages (4.1 percent), lease financing (2.9 percent) and covered loans (24.5 percent). Average total loans, excluding covered loans, were higher by 8.3 percent year-over-year. Average total loans were $4.6 billion (2.0 percent) higher in the second quarter of 2014 than the first quarter of 2014, driven by increases in commercial loans (6.5 percent), total commercial real estate (1.1 percent), other retail loans (1.0 percent), retail leasing (.6 percent) and residential mortgages (.4 percent), partially offset by decreases in lease financing (1.7 percent),

home equity and second mortgages (.3 percent), credit card (.1 percent), and covered loans (5.9 percent). Excluding covered loans, average total loans grew by 2.2 percent on a linked quarter basis.

Average investment securities in the second quarter of 2014 were $13.1 billion (17.7 percent) higher year-over-year and $5.4 billion (6.5 percent) higher than the prior quarter. The increases were primarily due to purchases of U.S. government agency-backed securities, net of prepayments and maturities, in anticipation of final liquidity coverage ratio regulatory requirements.

Average total deposits for the second quarter of 2014 were $15.0 billion (6.0 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2013. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $5.0 billion (7.4 percent) year-over-year, mainly in corporate trust, commercial banking, and Consumer and Small Business Banking balances. Average total savings deposits were $12.7 billion (9.3 percent) higher year-over-year, the result of growth in Consumer and Small Business Banking, and in government banking and broker-dealer related balances. Time deposits less than $100,000 were $2.2 billion (16.6 percent) lower due to maturities, while time deposits greater than $100,000 decreased $474 million (1.5 percent), primarily due to a decline in Consumer and Small Business Banking and corporate trust balances, partially offset by an increase in Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate balances. Time deposits greater than $100,000 are managed as an alternative to other funding sources, such as wholesale borrowing, based largely on relative pricing.

Average total deposits increased $4.9 billion (1.9 percent) over the first quarter of 2014. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1.0 billion (1.4 percent) on a linked quarter basis, due to higher balances in corporate trust and Consumer and Small Business Banking, partially offset by lower balances in

Noninterest Income

Second quarter noninterest income was $2,444 million; $168 million (7.4 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2013 and $336 million (15.9 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2014. The year-over-year increase in noninterest income was principally due to an increase in other income due to the Visa sale, as well as increases in a majority of fee revenue categories, partially offset by a $118 million (29.8 percent) reduction in mortgage banking revenue due to lower origination and sales revenue. Credit and debit card revenue increased $15 million (6.1 percent) and corporate payment products revenue increased $6 million (3.4 percent) over the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher transaction volumes. Merchant processing services revenue was $11 million (2.9 percent) higher as a result of an increase in product fees and higher volumes, partially offset by lower rates. Trust and investment management fees increased $27

million (9.5 percent) year-over-year, reflecting account growth, improved market conditions and business expansion. Deposit services charges were $11 million (6.9 percent) higher than a year ago due to account growth and pricing changes. Commercial products revenue increased $12 million (5.7 percent) over the prior year, principally due to an increase in bond underwriting fees and to a higher volume of tax-advantaged project fees.

Noninterest income was $336 million (15.9 percent) higher in the second quarter of 2014 than the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to the Visa sale and seasonally higher fee revenue, as well as higher mortgage banking revenue. Credit and debit card revenue increased $20 million (8.4 percent), corporate payment products revenue increased $9 million (5.2 percent), and merchant processing revenue increased $28 million (7.9 percent) on a linked quarter basis, principally due to seasonally higher transaction volumes. Trust and investment management fees were $7 million (2.3 percent) higher than the prior quarter due to improved market conditions and account growth, including business expansion. Deposit service charges increased $14 million (8.9 percent) and treasury management fees increased $7 million (5.3 percent) over the prior quarter, mainly due to seasonally higher transaction volumes. Commercial products revenue increased $16 million (7.8 percent) due to higher wholesale transaction activity, including standby letters of credit, and loan and bond underwriting fees. Mortgage banking revenue increased $42 million (17.8 percent), principally due to a $35 million favorable change in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), net of hedging activities.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2014 totaled $2,753 million, an increase of $196 million (7.7 percent) over the second quarter of 2013, and a $209 million (8.2 percent) increase over the first quarter of 2014. The increase in total noninterest expense year-over-year was the result of the FHA DOJ settlement in the current quarter and higher compensation expense, reflecting the impact of merit increases and higher staffing for risk and compliance activities. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased $7 million (3.0 percent) year-over-year due to business initiatives as well as higher rent expense and maintenance costs. Professional services expense increased $6 million (6.6 percent) due mainly to mortgage servicing-related project costs. The $181 million (43.7 percent) increase in other expense reflected the FHA DOJ settlement, partially offset by lower costs related to investments in tax-advantaged projects related to a change in first quarter 2014 in accounting for affordable housing investments. Offsetting these increases was a $20 million (7.2 percent) reduction in employee benefits expense driven by lower pension costs and a $7 million (12.7 percent) decrease in other intangibles expense from the reduction or completion of the amortization of certain intangibles.

Noninterest expense increased $209 million (8.2 percent) on a linked quarter basis, driven by the FHA DOJ settlement. Compensation expense increased $10 million (.9 percent) reflecting the impact of merit increases and seasonal contract labor. Professional services expense was $14 million (16.9 percent) higher compared with the first quarter of 2014, mainly due to higher mortgage servicing-related project costs. Marketing and business development expense increased $17 million (21.5 percent) due to a current quarter charitable foundation contribution and the timing of various marketing programs in Payments Services and Consumer and Small Business Banking. Partially offsetting these increases was a $32 million (11.1 percent) decrease in employee benefits expense primarily resulting from seasonally lower payroll tax expense and an $8 million (3.2 percent) decrease in net occupancy and equipment expense due to seasonally lower maintenance and utilities costs.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2014 resulted in a tax rate on a taxable-equivalent basis of 28.5 percent (effective tax rate of 26.6 percent), compared with 28.8 percent (effective tax rate of 26.8 percent) in the second quarter of 2013, and 28.1 percent (effective tax rate of 26.0 percent) in the first quarter of 2014.

Credit Quality

The allowance for credit losses was $4,449 million at June 30, 2014, compared with $4,497 million at March 31, 2014, and $4,612 million at June 30, 2013. Nonperforming assets declined on a linked quarter and year-over-year basis as economic conditions continued to slowly improve. Total net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2014 were $349 million, compared with $341 million in the first quarter of 2014, and $392 million in the second quarter of 2013. The $8 million (2.3 percent) increase in net charge-offs on a linked quarter basis was due to higher charge-offs in commercial loan portfolios, partially offset by improvements in the home equity and second mortgages portfolio, while the $43 million (11.0 percent) decrease in net charge-offs on a year-over-year basis reflected improvements in residential mortgages and home equity and second mortgages, partially offset by higher commercial loancharge-offs and lower recoveries in commercial real estate. The Company recorded $324 million of provision for credit losses in the current quarter, which was $25 million less than net charge-offs.

Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs were $51 million (.18 percent of average loans outstanding) in the second quarter of 2014, compared with $33 million (.12 percent of average loans outstanding) in the first quarter of 2014, and $21 million (.08 percent of average loans outstanding) in the second quarter of 2013.

Credit card loan net charge-offs were $170 million (3.92 percent of average loans outstanding) in the second quarter of 2014, compared with $170 million (3.96 percent of average loans outstanding) in the first quarter of 2014, and $173 million (4.23 percent of average loans outstanding) in the second quarter of 2013. Total other retail loan net charge-offs were $69 million (.58 percent of average loans outstanding) in the second quarter of 2014, compared with $76 million (.65 percent of average loans outstanding) in the first quarter of 2014, and $105 million (.90 percent of average loans outstanding) in the second quarter of 2013.

(a) 2014 amounts and ratios calculated under the Basel III transitional standardized approach; all prior periods under Basel I

Prior to 2014, the regulatory capital requirements effective for the Company followed Basel I. During 2013, U.S. banking regulators approved final regulatory capital rule enhancements, which implemented aspects of Basel III and the Dodd-Frank Act, such as redefining the regulatory capital elements and minimum capital ratios, introducing regulatory capital buffers above those minimums, revising rules for calculating risk-weighted assets and introducing a new common equity tier 1 ratio. Basel III includes two comprehensive methodologies for calculating risk-weighted assets, a general standardized approach and a more risk-sensitive advanced approaches. Beginning January 1, 2014, the regulatory capital requirements effective for the Company follow Basel III, subject to certain transition provisions from Basel I over the next four years to full implementation by January 1, 2018. In addition, as of April 1, 2014, the Company exited its parallel run qualification period, resulting in its capital adequacy now being evaluated against the Basel III methodology that is the most restrictive. Under the Basel III transitional standardized approach, the

common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 9.6 percent at June 30, 2014, compared with 9.7 percent at March 31, 2014. The tier 1 capital ratio was 11.3 percent at June 30, 2014, compared with 11.4 percent at March 31, 2014, and 11.1 percent at June 30, 2013. Under the Basel III transitional advanced approaches, the common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 12.3 percent at June 30, 2014. All regulatory ratios continue to be in excess of “well-capitalized” requirements. In addition, the common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio estimated for the Basel III standardized approach as if fully implemented was 8.9 percent at June 30, 2014, compared with 9.0 percent at March 31, 2014, and 8.6 percent at June 30, 2013, and the common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio estimated for the Basel III advanced approaches as if fully implemented was 11.7 percent at June 30, 2014. The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.5 percent at June 30, 2014, compared with 7.8 percent at March 31, 2014, and 7.5 percent at June 30, 2013.

Lines of Business

The Company’s major lines of business are Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate, Consumer and Small Business Banking, Wealth Management and Securities Services, Payment Services, and Treasury and Corporate Support. 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. Noninterest expenses incurred by centrally managed operations or business lines that

directly support another business line’s operations are charged to the applicable business line based on its utilization of those services, 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. 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. During 2014, certain organization and methodology changes were made and, accordingly, prior period results were restated and presented on a comparable basis.

Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate offers lending, equipment finance and small-ticket leasing, depository services, treasury management, capital markets, international trade services and other financial services to middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate, financial institution, non-profit and public sector clients. Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate contributed $281 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter of 2014, compared with $319 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $281 million in the first quarter of 2014. Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate’s net income decreased $38 million (11.9 percent) from the same quarter of 2013 due to a higher provision for credit losses, higher total noninterest expense and a decrease in total net revenue. Total net revenue declined by $3 million (.4 percent), due to a 5.5 percent decrease in total noninterest income, partially offset by a 2.4 percent increase in net interest income. Net interest income increased $12 million (2.4 percent) year-over-year, primarily due to an increase in average total loans and deposits, partially offset by lower rates and fees on loans. Total noninterest income decreased by $15 million (5.5 percent), driven by lower wholesale transaction activity andloan-related fees, partially offset by an increase in bond underwriting fees and higher equity investment revenue. Total noninterest expense increased by $5 million (1.6 percent) over a year ago, primarily due to an increase in the FDIC insurance assessment allocation based on the level of commitments, partially offset by lower professional services expense. The provision for credit losses was $52 million higher year-over-year due to an increase in net charge-offs and an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation.

Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate’s contribution to net income in the second quarter of 2014 was $281 million which was equal to the first quarter of 2014, as higher total net revenue was offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses. Total net revenue increased by $38 million (5.2 percent) compared with the prior quarter. Net interest income increased by $23 million (4.7 percent) on a linked quarter basis, primarily due to higher average loans and an additional day in the current quarter relative to the

prior quarter, partially offset by lower loan rates. Total noninterest income increased by $15 million (6.1 percent), driven by higher equity investment revenue and a seasonal increase in treasury management fees. Total noninterest expense increased $6 million (1.9 percent) due to higher loan-related expenses and an increase in compensation and employee benefits expense, as an increase in production incentive costs was partially offset by a decrease in employee benefits expense due to seasonally lower payroll tax expense. The provision for credit losses increased by $33 million due to higher net charge-offs and an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation.

Consumer and Small Business Banking delivers products and services through banking offices, telephone servicing and sales, on-line services, direct mail, ATM processing and mobile devices, such as mobile phones and tablet computers. It encompasses community banking, metropolitan banking, in-store banking, small business banking, consumer lending, mortgage banking, workplace banking, student banking and 24-hour banking. Consumer and Small Business Banking contributed $314 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter of 2014, a $67 million (17.6 percent) decrease from the second quarter of 2013 and a $33 million (11.7 percent) increase over the prior quarter. Within Consumer and Small Business Banking, the retail banking division reported a 6.1 percent decrease in its contribution from the same quarter of last year, principally due to lower total net revenue and an increase in total noninterest expense. Retail banking’s total net revenue was .8 percent lower than the second quarter of 2013. Net interest income decreased 4.2 percent, primarily due to lower rates and fees on loans and the impact of lower rates on the margin benefit from deposits, partially offset by higher average loan and deposit balances. Total noninterest income for the retail banking division increased 7.9 percent over a year ago, principally due to an increase in retail lease revenue and higher deposit service charges. Total noninterest expense for the retail banking division in the second quarter of 2014 increased 2.4 percent over the same quarter of the prior year, largely due to higher compensation and employee benefits expense and litigation-related expense, partially offset by lower FDIC insurance assessments and marketing expenses. The provision for credit losses for the retail banking division decreased 9.8 percent on a year-over-year basis, principally due to lower net charge-offs, partially offset by an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation. The contribution of the mortgage banking division was lower by 29.7 percent than the second quarter of 2013, reflecting a decrease in total net revenue, partially offset by a reduction in total noninterest expense and in the provision for credit losses. The division’s 26.6 percent decrease in total net revenue was due to a 31.5 percent decrease in total noninterest income, driven by lower mortgage origination and sales revenue, as well as a 15.1 percent decrease in net interest income, primarily the result of lower average loans held for sale. Total noninterest expense was 6.0

percent lower than the prior year, primarily reflecting lower incentive compensation. The favorable change in the provision for credit losses for the mortgage banking division was due to lower net charge-offs and a favorable change in the reserve allocation.

Consumer and Small Business Banking’s contribution in the second quarter of 2014 was $33 million (11.7 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2014, due to higher total net revenue and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by an increase in total noninterest expense.

Total noninterest income was 5.9 percent higher on a linked quarter basis, driven by higher deposit service charges. Total noninterest expense for the retail banking division was essentially flat on a linked quarter basis, as an increase in professional services, marketing and litigation-related expenses was offset by lower net shared services costs and a decrease in compensation and employee benefits expense due to seasonally lower payroll taxes. The provision for credit losses decreased 18.4 percent on a linked quarter basis due to a favorable change in the reserve allocation and lower net charge-offs in the current quarter. The contribution of the mortgage banking division increased 3.2 percent over the first quarter of 2014 due to an increase in total net revenue, partially offset by higher noninterest expense and a higher provision for credit losses.

Forward-Looking Statements

The following information appears in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

This press release 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. A reversal or slowing of the current moderate economic recovery or another severe contraction could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s revenues and the values of its assets and liabilities. Global financial markets could experience a recurrence of significant turbulence, which could reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions and lead to a tightening of credit, a reduction of business activity, and increased market volatility. Continued stress in the commercial real estate markets, as well as a delay or failure of recovery in the residential real estate markets could cause additional credit losses and deterioration in asset values. In addition, U.S. Bancorp’s business and financial performance is likely to be negatively impacted by recently enacted and future legislation and regulation. U.S. Bancorp’s results could also be adversely affected by deterioration in general business and economic conditions; changes in interest 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 securities held in its investment securities portfolio; legal and regulatory developments; increased competition from both banks and non-banks; changes in customer behavior and preferences; effects of mergers and acquisitions and related integration; effects of critical accounting policies and judgments; and management’s ability to effectively manage credit risk, residual value risk, market risk, operational risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk.

For discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, refer to U.S. Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Corporate Risk Profile” 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. However, factors other than these also could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s results, and the reader should not consider these factors 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.

Non-GAAP 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,

• Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets estimated for the Basel III fully implemented standardized approach,

• Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets estimated for the Basel III fully implemented advanced approaches, and for additional information,

• Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets using Basel I definition.

These measures are viewed by management as useful additional methods of reflecting the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market or economic conditions. Additionally, presentation of these measures allows investors, analysts and banking regulators to assess the Company’s capital position relative to other financial services companies. These measures differ from currently effective capital ratios defined by banking regulations principally in that the numerator includes unrealized gains and losses related to available-for-sale securities and excludes preferred securities, including preferred stock, the nature and extent of which varies among different financial services companies. These measures are not defined in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), or are not currently effective or defined in federal banking regulations. As a result, these measures disclosed by the Company may be considered non-GAAP financial measures.

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 press release in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure. A table follows that shows the Company’s calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures.
