Exhibit 99 Wells Fargo and Company's financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 Wells Fargo & Company reported net income of $970 million for the fourth quarter of 1999, compared with a loss of $194 million for the fourth quarter of 1998. Net income for the full year of 1999 was $3,747 million, compared with $1,950 million a year ago. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share were $.58 for the fourth quarter of 1999 and $2.23 for the full year of 1999, compared with $(.12) and $1.17 for the same periods of 1998. Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.85 percent for both the fourth quarter and the full year of 1999. Return on average common equity (ROE) was 17.84 percent for the fourth quarter of 1999 and 17.66 percent for the full year of 1999. Diluted cash earnings (loss) were $.68 per share for the fourth quarter of 1999 and $2.56 per share for the full year of 1999, compared with ($.04) per share and $1.50 per share for the same periods of 1998. Cash earnings are earnings before the amortization of goodwill and nonqualifying core deposit intangible (related primarily to the 1996 acquisition of First Interstate Bancorp). Cash return on average assets was 2.24 percent for the fourth quarter of 1999 and 2.22 percent for the full year of 1999. Cash return on average tangible common equity was 34.20 percent for the fourth quarter of 1999 and 34.08 percent for the full year of 1999. Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $2,412 million in the fourth quarter of 1999, compared with $2,315 million for the same quarter a year ago and $9,419 million for the full year of 1999, compared with $9,049 million in 1998. The net interest margin was 5.61 percent for the fourth quarter of 1999 and 5.66 percent for the full year of 1999, compared with 5.60 percent and 5.79 percent for the same periods of 1998. Noninterest income in the fourth quarter of 1999 was $2,071 million, compared with $1,557 million in the same quarter of 1998, an increase of 33 percent. For the full year of 1999, noninterest income was $7,420 million, compared with $6,427 million in 1998, an increase of 15 percent. The majority of the increase for the fourth quarter of 1999 was due to the non-cash venture capital gain of about $560 million related to the Company's venture capital investment in Cerent Corporation, partially offset by a loss on the sales of investment securities and a write-down of auto lease residuals. Noninterest expense was $2,657 million in the fourth quarter of 1999, compared with $3,482 million in the same quarter of 1998, a decrease of 24 percent. For the full year of 1999, noninterest expense was $9,782 million, compared with $10,579 million in 1998, a decrease of 8 percent. The decrease in noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 1999 was due to fourth quarter 1998 merger-related and other charges of approximately $1.15 billion, partly offset by $55 million of expenditures for store platform conversions in -2- the fourth quarter of 1999, along with $34 million of additional expenditures, primarily for Internet and other technology investments and $40 million of asset write-downs. The provision for loan losses was $275 million for the fourth quarter of 1999, compared with $624 million for the same period in 1998. Net charge-offs totaled $274 million, or .93 percent of average loans (annualized), in the fourth quarter of 1999. Net charge-offs totaled $686 million, or 2.56 percent of average loans (annualized), for the fourth quarter of 1998. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the loan loss provision was $1,045 million and net charge-offs totaled $1,049 million, or .94 percent of average loans, compared with a loan loss provision of $1,545 million and net charge-offs of $1,617 million, or 1.52 percent of average loans for the full year of 1998. At December 31, 1999, the allowance for loan losses of $3,170 million was 2.65 percent of total loans, compared with 2.90 percent at December 31, 1998. Total nonaccrual and restructured loans were $669 million at December 31, 1999, compared with $710 million at December 31, 1998. - ---------------- The following appears in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This discussion of financial results may contain forward-looking statements about the Company, including descriptions of plans or objectives of its management for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of its revenues, earnings or other measures of economic performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate" or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could" or "may." Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. A number of factors--many of which are beyond the Company's control--could cause actual conditions, events or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, describe some of these factors, including certain credit, market, operational, liquidity, interest rate, and Year 2000 risks associated with the Company's business and operations. Other factors described in the Company's September 30, 1999 Form 10-Q include changes in business and economic conditions, competition, fiscal and monetary policies, disintermediation, legislation including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, the combination of the former Norwest Corporation and the former Wells Fargo & Company, and other mergers and acquisitions. There are other factors besides these that could cause actual conditions, events or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements or otherwise affect in the future the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. ### -3- Wells Fargo & Company and Subsidiaries SUMMARY FINANCIAL DATA - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quarter Year ended December 31, % ended December 31, % --------------------- --------------------- (in millions, except per share amounts) 1999 1998 Change 1999 1998 Change - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR THE PERIOD Net income (loss) $ 970 $ (194) -- % $ 3,747 $ 1,950 92 % Net income (loss) applicable to common stock 961 (203) -- 3,712 1,915 94 Earnings (loss) per common share $ .59 $ (.12) -- $ 2.26 $ 1.18 92 Diluted earnings (loss) per common share .58 (.12) -- 2.23 1.17 91 Dividends declared per common share .20 .185 8 .785 .70 12 Average common shares outstanding 1,635.6 1,642.4 -- 1,645.6 1,621.5 1 Diluted average common shares outstanding 1,656.0 1,642.4 1 1,665.2 1,641.8 1 Profitability ratios (annualized) Net income to average total assets (ROA) 1.85% -- % -- 1.85% 1.04% 78 Net income applicable to common stock to average common stockholders' equity (ROE) 17.84 -- -- 17.66 9.86 79 Total revenue $ 4,466 $ 3,858 16 $ 16,775 $ 15,417 9 Efficiency ratio (1) 59.5% 90.2 % (34) 58.3% 68.5% (15) Average loans $116,301 $107,324 8 $111,374 $106,205 5 Average assets 208,347 197,772 5 202,623 188,355 8 Average core deposits 126,493 127,810 (1) 127,231 123,801 3 Net interest margin 5.61% 5.60 % -- 5.66% 5.79% (2) NET INCOME AND RATIOS EXCLUDING GOODWILL AND NONQUALIFYING CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLE AMORTIZATION AND BALANCES ("CASH" OR "TANGIBLE") (2) Net income (loss) applicable to common stock $ 1,120 $ (66) -- $ 4,269 $ 2,465 73 Earnings (loss) per common share .68 (.04) -- 2.59 1.52 70 Diluted earnings (loss) per common share .68 (.04) -- 2.56 1.50 71 ROA 2.24% -- % -- 2.22% 1.39% 60 ROE 34.20 -- -- 34.08 23.15 47 Efficiency ratio 55.6 86.1 (35) 54.6 64.3 (15) AT PERIOD END Securities available for sale $ 38,518 $ 31,997 20 $ 38,518 $ 31,997 20 Loans 119,464 107,994 11 119,464 107,994 11 Allowance for loan losses 3,170 3,134 1 3,170 3,134 1 Goodwill 7,702 7,664 -- 7,702 7,664 -- Assets 218,102 202,475 8 218,102 202,475 8 Core deposits 126,198 132,289 (5) 126,198 132,289 (5) Common stockholders' equity 21,860 20,296 8 21,860 20,296 8 Stockholders' equity 22,131 20,759 7 22,131 20,759 7 Capital ratios Common stockholders' equity to assets 10.02% 10.02 % -- 10.02% 10.02% -- Stockholders' equity to assets 10.15 10.25 (1) 10.15 10.25 (1) Risk-based capital (3) Tier 1 capital 7.95 8.08 (2) 7.95 8.08 (2) Total capital 10.40 10.90 (5) 10.40 10.90 (5) Leverage (3) 6.75 6.58 3 6.75 6.58 3 Book value per common share $ 13.44 $ 12.35 9 $ 13.44 $ 12.35 9 Staff (active, full-time equivalent) 89,355 91,403 (2) 89,355 91,403 (2) COMMON STOCK PRICE High $ 49.94 $ 40.88 22 $ 49.94 $ 43.88 14 Low 38.38 30.19 27 32.13 27.50 17 Period end 40.44 39.94 1 40.44 39.94 1 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) The efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
