CEO Commentary

“As our financial results indicate, we had a good start to the year with momentum continuing across our lending and fee businesses. In the first quarter, our industry-leading returns on assets and equity were supported by solid loan growth, disciplined expense management and stable credit quality. Our balance sheet is strong and growing as evidenced by an 8.6% increase in our book value per share compared with a year ago. During the quarter, we returned 77 percent of our earnings to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. We are pleased with our results this quarter and remain focused on the long-term success of this company - and the disciplined investment in people and technology that will drive that success. We are launching a number of digital initiatives combining the best of technology and innovation to help make our customers’ financial lives simpler and more productive. I would like to thank our employees for all they do to create value for our customers, communities and shareholders.”

Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp was $1,699 million for the first quarter of 2019, which was 1.4 percent higher than the first quarter of 2018, and 8.5 percent lower than the fourth quarter of 2018. Diluted earnings per common share were $1.00 in the first quarter of 2019, compared with $0.96 in the first quarter of 2018 and $1.10 in the fourth quarter of 2018. The fourth quarter of 2018 included $0.03 per diluted common share of notable items related to the impact of the gain on sale of the Company’s ATM servicing business and the sale of a majority of the Company’s FDIC covered loans, charges related to severance, certain asset impairments, an accrual for legal matters, and the favorable impact to deferred tax assets and liabilities related to changes in estimates from tax reform. Given the sale of the third-party ATM processing business during the fourth quarter of 2018, ATM processing services revenue and deposit service charges were combined for reporting purposes.

The increase in net income year-over-year was due to total net revenue growth of 2.0 percent partially offset by noninterest expense growth of 1.0 percent. Net interest income increased 2.9 percent (2.8 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis), mainly a result of the impact of rising interest rates, loan growth, and higher yields on reinvestment of securities, partially offset by higher rates on deposits and funding mix. Noninterest income increased 0.8 percent compared with a year ago, driven by growth in corporate payment products and merchant processing services revenue, along with other noninterest revenue, partially offset by declines in credit and debit card revenue, mortgage banking revenue and deposit service charges. Deposit service charges include ATM processing services revenue and decreased as a result of the sale of the third-party ATM processing business in the fourth quarter of 2018. Noninterest expense increased 1.0 percent primarily due to increased compensation expense, along with higher technology and communications expense in support of business growth. Partially offsetting these expense categories was lower other noninterest expense driven by lower costs related totax-advantaged projects and FDIC assessment costs.

Net income decreased on a linked quarter basis primarily due to a decrease in total net revenue of 4.3 percent, partially offset by a reduction in noninterest expense of 5.9 percent. The decrease in total net revenue reflected a decline in net interest income of 1.3 percent (1.4 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis) primarily due to two fewer days in the first quarter along with higher rates on deposits, lower interest recoveries, and funding mix, partially offset by loan growth. Excluding the fourth quarter of 2018 notable items, noninterest income decreased 5.4 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2018 driven by lower credit and debit card revenue and lower ATM processing services revenue as a result of the business sale. Excluding the fourth quarter of 2018 notable items, noninterest expense decreased 0.6 percent on a linked quarter basis primarily driven by lower professional services and marketing and business development expense, partially offset by seasonally higher employee benefits and an increase in other noninterest expense.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in the first quarter of 2019 was $3,286 million, an increase of $89 million (2.8 percent) over the first quarter of 2018. The increase was principally driven by the impact of rising interest rates, earning assets growth, and higher yields on securities, partially offset by deposit pricing and funding mix shift. Average earning assets were $7.6 billion (1.9 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2018, reflecting increases of $6.7 billion (2.4 percent) in average total loans, $686 million (0.6 percent) in average investment securities, and $1.2 billion (7.8 percent) in average other earning assets. Excluding the impact of the second quarter of 2018 sale of the Company’s federally guaranteed student loan portfolio and the fourth quarter of 2018 sale of the majority of the Company’s FDIC covered loans, average total loans grew 3.7 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis decreased $45 million (1.4 percent) on a linked quarter basis primarily driven by two fewer days in the first quarter and lower interest recoveries, partially offset by loan growth. Average earning assets were $978 million (0.2 percent) lower on a linked quarter basis, reflecting decreases of $2.5 billion (12.5 percent) in average other earning assets due to a seasonal decrease in cash balances and $1.0 billion (32.0 percent) in average loans held for sale primarily due to the sale of the majority of the Company’s FDIC covered loans in the fourth quarter of 2018, partially offset by an increase of $2.4 billion (0.9 percent) in average total loans.

The net interest margin in the first quarter of 2019 was 3.16 percent, compared with 3.13 percent in the first quarter of 2018 and 3.15 percent in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in the net interest margin year-over-year was primarily due to rising interest rates, higher reinvestment rates on maturing securities, and loan portfolio mix, partially offset by deposit and funding mix. The increase in net interest margin on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to loan portfolio mix, lower cash balances, and the impact of the fourth quarter rate hike on assets, partially offset by the impact of deposit and funding mix.

Average investment securities in the first quarter of 2019 increased $686 million (0.6 percent) over the first quarter of 2018 and $41 million over the fourth quarter of 2018 due to purchases of mortgage-backed and state and political securities, net of prepayments and maturities.

The increase was due to growth in residential mortgages (9.0 percent), total commercial loans (4.6 percent), credit card loans (6.2 percent), and retail leasing (7.6 percent). These increases were partially offset by decreases in covered loans due to the fourth quarter of 2018 sale, total commercial real estate loans (2.2 percent) due to customers paying down balances and other loans (2.9 percent) which were impacted by the sale of student loans.

Average total loans were $2.4 billion (0.9 percent) higher than the fourth quarter of 2018 driven by growth in residential mortgages (1.7 percent) and total commercial loans (1.4 percent), partially offset by a decrease in total commercial real estate loans (1.7 percent).

Average total deposits for the first quarter of 2019 were $786 million (0.2 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2018. Average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $6.0 billion (7.6 percent) year-over-year primarily due to the continued deployment by customers of business deposits within Corporate and Commercial Banking and corporate trust balances within Wealth Management and Investment Services. Average total savings deposits were $1.3 billion (0.6 percent) lower year-over-year driven by decreases in corporate trust balances within Wealth Management and Investment Services along with therun-off related to the business merger of a large financial customer, partially offset by increases in Consumer and Business Banking. Average time deposits were $8.1 billion (22.0 percent) higher than the prior year quarter. Changes in time deposits are largely related to those deposits managed as an alternative to other funding sources such as wholesale borrowing, based largely on relative pricing and liquidity characteristics.

Average total deposits increased $1.0 billion (0.3 percent) from the fourth quarter of 2018. On a linked quarter basis, average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $3.7 billion (4.8 percent) reflecting decreases in Corporate and Commercial Banking and Consumer and Business Banking.

First quarter noninterest income of $2,291 million was $19 million (0.8 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2018 driven by growth in corporate payment products revenue and merchant processing services reflecting higher sales volumes. Other noninterest income also increased year-over-year primarily due to higher equity investment income,tax-advantaged investment syndication revenue, and transition services agreement revenue associated with the ATM processing business sale in 2018. These increases were partially offset by lower credit and debit card revenue, lower deposit service charges, and lower mortgage banking revenue. Credit and debit card revenue decreased $20 million (6.2 percent) reflecting fewer billing cycle processing days in the first quarter of 2019, a change in the accounting for prepaid card revenue in the first quarter of 2018, and industry trends in post-holiday consumer spending. Deposit service charges decreased $44 million (16.9 percent) driven by the sale of the Company’s ATM third-party servicing business in 2018. The decrease in mortgage banking revenue of $15 million (8.2 percent) was due to changes in mortgage servicing rights valuations, net of hedging activities, and lower servicing income, partially offset by higher production volume.

Noninterest income was $207 million (8.3 percent) lower in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the fourth quarter of 2018 reflecting lower payment services revenue, deposit service charges, and other noninterest income. Payment services revenue decreased $90 million (9.6 percent) primarily due to seasonally lower sales across all payment business segments and fewer billing cycle processing days within the credit and debit card business segment. Deposit service charges decreased $36 million (14.2 percent) primarily due to the sale of the Company’s ATM third-party servicing business and the seasonal impact of two fewer days in the first quarter of 2019. Other noninterest income decreased $63 million (20.3 percent) on a linked quarter basis primarily due to the notable items in the fourth quarter of 2018. Excluding the notable items, other noninterest income increased 5.6 percent on a linked quarter basis.

First quarter noninterest expense of $3,087 million was $32 million (1.0 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher personnel costs and technology investment, partially offset by lower other noninterest expense. Compensation expense increased $36 million (2.4 percent) principally due to the impact of hiring to support business growth and merit increases. Other noninterest expense decreased $38 million (9.4 percent) due to lower FDIC assessment costs, driven by the elimination of the surcharge in the fourth quarter of 2018, and lower costs related totax-advantaged projects, partially offset by other expenses.

Noninterest expense decreased $193 million (5.9 percent) on a linked quarter basis. The fourth quarter of 2018 included notable items related to severance charges and legal accruals recorded in noninterest expense. Excluding the impact of the fourth quarter of 2018 notable items noninterest expense decreased $19 million (0.6 percent) due to seasonally lower costs related totax-advantaged projects and professional services, along with lower marketing and business development expense driven by the timing of certain marketing campaigns. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in employee benefits expense of $25 million (8.1 percent) due to seasonally higher payroll taxes.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2019 resulted in a tax rate of 19.2 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis (effective tax rate of 18.1 percent), compared with 18.9 percent (effective tax rate of 17.7 percent) in the first quarter of 2018, and 14.6 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis (effective tax rate of 13.5 percent) in the fourth quarter of 2018. Tax expense for the first quarter of 2019 reflected the favorable conclusion of a state tax matter. The fourth quarter of 2018 tax rates reflected the favorable impact of deferred tax assets and liabilities adjustments related to tax reform estimates. Excluding the changes in estimates related to deferred tax assets and liabilities, the taxable-equivalent rate was 20.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2018.

U.S. Bancorp First Quarter 2019 Results

Credit quality was relatively stable on a linked quarter and year-over-year basis. The Company’s provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2019 was $377 million, which was $9 million (2.4 percent) higher than the prior quarter and $36 million (10.6 percent) higher than the first quarter of 2018.

Total net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2019 were $367 million, compared with $353 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, and $341 million in the first quarter of 2018. Net charge-offs increased $14 million (4.0 percent) compared with the fourth quarter of 2018 due to higher total commercial real estate, total commercial loans and credit card net charge-offs, partially offset by lower total other retail net charge-offs. Net charge-offs increased $26 million (7.6 percent) compared with the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher total commercial loan and credit card net charge-offs. The netcharge-off ratio was 0.52 percent in the first quarter of 2019, compared with 0.49 percent in the fourth quarter of 2018 and in the first quarter of 2018.

The allowance for credit losses was $4,451 million at March 31, 2019, compared with $4,441 million at December 31, 2018, and $4,417 million at March 31, 2018. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses toperiod-end loans was 1.55 percent at March 31, 2019, and at December 31, 2018, compared with 1.59 percent at March 31, 2018. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 519 percent at March 31, 2019, compared with 544 percent at December 31, 2018, and 431 percent at March 31, 2018.

Nonperforming assets were $1,005 million at March 31, 2019, compared with $989 million at December 31, 2018, and $1,204 million at March 31, 2018. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and other real estate was 0.35 percent at March 31, 2019, compared with 0.34 percent at December 31, 2018, and 0.43 percent at March 31, 2018. The year-over-year decrease in nonperforming assets was driven by decreases in nonperforming residential mortgages, total commercial loans, and other real estate owned. Accruing loans 90 days or more past due were $595 million at March 31, 2019, compared with $584 million at December 31, 2018, and $702 million at March 31, 2018.

  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. 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. Stress in the commercial real estate markets, as well as a downturn in the residential real estate markets, could cause credit losses and deterioration in asset values. 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; 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 andnon-banks; changes in the level of tariffs and other trade policies of the United States and its global trading partners; changes in customer behavior and preferences; breaches in data security; 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 reputational 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 Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, 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.

  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

• Return on tangible common equity

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, 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 defined in banking regulations. As a result, these capital measures disclosed by the Company may be considerednon-GAAP financial measures. In addition, certain capital measures related to prior periods are presented on the same basis as those capital measures in the current period. The effective capital ratios defined by banking regulations for these periods were subject to certain transitional provisions. 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 considerednon-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 press release in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure. A table follows that shows the Company’s calculation of thesenon-GAAP financial measures

Lines of Business

The Company’s major lines of business are Corporate and Commercial Banking, Consumer and Business Banking, Wealth Management and Investment 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. Income taxes are assessed to each line of business at a managerial tax rate of 25.0 percent. The residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate is included in Treasury and Corporate Support. 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 2019, certain organization and methodology changes were made and, accordingly, prior period results were restated and presented on a comparable basis.

(a) preliminary data

Corporate and Commercial Banking offers lending, equipment finance and small-ticket leasing, depository services, treasury management, capital markets services, international trade services and other financial services to middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate, financial institution,non-profit and public sector clients.

Corporate and Commercial Banking contributed $400 million of the Company’s net income in the first quarter of 2019, compared with $388 million in the first quarter of 2018. Total net revenue increased $6 million (0.6 percent) due to increases of $3 million (0.4 percent) in net interest income and $3 million (1.4 percent) in total noninterest income. Net interest income increased primarily due to the impact of rising rates on the margin benefit from deposits and loan growth, partially offset by lower spreads on loans, reflecting a competitive marketplace, and lower deposit balances from a year ago. Noninterest bearing deposits are declining as customers deploy balances to support business growth. Total noninterest income increased year-over-year primarily due to higher trading revenue, partially offset by lower corporate bond underwriting fees. Total noninterest expense was $15 million (3.8 percent) higher compared with a year ago primarily due to an increase in net shared services expense driven by technology development and investment in infrastructure and the write-down of equipment in the wholesale leasing business, partially offset by lower FDIC assessment costs. The provision for credit losses decreased $25 million reflecting a favorable change in the reserve allocation partially offset by higher net charge-offs.

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.

Consumer and Business Banking contributed $555 million of the Company’s net income in the first quarter of 2019, compared with $544 million in the first quarter of 2018. Total net revenue increased $18 million (0.9 percent) due to a $56 million (3.7 percent) increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $38 million (6.7 percent) decrease in total noninterest income. Net interest income increased primarily due to the impact of rising rates on the margin benefit from deposits as well as growth in both core deposit balances and loan volumes, partially offset by lower spreads on loans. Total noninterest income decreased principally due to a decline in mortgage banking revenue and a reduction in ATM processing services revenue due to the sale of the Company’s ATM servicing business during 2018, partially offset by the transition services agreement revenue associated with the sale. Total noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2019 decreased $12 million (0.9 percent) primarily due to lower FDIC assessment costs and lower mortgage banking costs, partially offset by higher net shared services expense reflecting the impact of investments supporting business growth. The provision for credit losses increased $15 million (27.3 percent) primarily due to an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation, partially offset by lower net charge-offs.

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.

Payment Services contributed $322 million of the Company’s net income in the first quarter of 2019, compared with $339 million in the first quarter of 2018. Total net revenue increased $16 million (1.1 percent) due to increases in net interest income of $11 million (1.8 percent) and total noninterest income of $5 million (0.6 percent). Net interest income increased year-over-year primarily due to growth in total average loans as well as loan fees, partially offset by compression on loan rates in a rising rate environment. Total noninterest income increased year-over-year mainly due to higher corporate payment products revenue and higher merchant processing services driven by higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower credit and debit card revenue reflecting industry trends impacted by a decline in consumer spending. Total noninterest expense increased $24 million (3.3 percent) over the first quarter of 2018 principally due to higher net shared services expense and personnel expense in support of business development, partially offset by lower marketing and business development expenses due to the timing of certain advertising campaigns. The provision for credit losses increased $14 million (5.1 percent) reflecting higher net charge-offs, partially offset by a favorable change in the reserve allocation.

Treasury and Corporate Support includes the Company’s investment portfolios, funding, capital management, interest rate risk management, income taxes not allocated to the business lines, including most investments intax-advantaged projects, and the residual aggregate of those expenses associated with corporate activities that are managed on a consolidated basis.

Treasury and Corporate Support recorded net income of $210 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared with $196 million in the first quarter of 2018. Total net revenue increased $56 million (19.2 percent) year-over-year driven by increases in net interest income of $6 million (7.8 percent) and $50 million (23.3 percent) in total noninterest income. Net interest income increased year-over-year primarily due to growth in the investment portfolio. Total noninterest income increased year-over-year primarily reflecting higher income from equity investments. Total noninterest expense decreased $6 million (3.1 percent) year-over-year reflecting lower costs related to tax-advantaged projects. These decreases were partially offset by higher compensation expense, reflecting the impact of increased staffing and merit increases, and higher implementation costs of capital investments to support business growth. The provision for credit losses was $36 million higher year-over-year due to an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation.
