MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
EARNINGS SUMMARY U.S. Bancorp (the "Company") reported net income of $410.1
million in the first quarter of 2001, or $.21 per diluted share, compared with
$686.8 million, or $.36 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2000. Return
on average assets and return on average common equity were 1.02 percent and 10.8
percent in the first quarter of 2001, compared with 1.79 percent and 19.6
percent for the same period of 2000. Net income reflects after-tax merger and
restructuring-related charges of $387.2 million ($570.8 million on a pretax
basis) in the first quarter of 2001 compared with $43.0 million ($65.0 on a
pre-tax basis) in the first quarter of 2000. Total merger and
restructuring-related charges on a pre-tax basis included $356.5 million of
noninterest expense and $166.6 million of provision for credit losses associated
with the merger of Firstar and USBM, $22.6 million of restructuring charges for
U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and $25.1 million of noninterest expense for other
recent acquisitions including the merger with Mercantile Bancorporation, Scripps
Financial Corporation and the purchase of 41 branches in Tennessee from First
Union National Bank.
The Company reported operating earnings (net income excluding merger and
restructuring-related charges) of $797.3 million for the first quarter of 2001,
compared with $729.8 million for the first quarter of 2000. Operating earnings
of $.42 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2001 were $.04, or 10.5
percent, higher than the same period of 2000. On a cash basis, operating
earnings increased to $.48 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2001 from
$.43 in the first quarter of 2000. Return on average common equity and return on
average assets, excluding merger and restructuring-related charges, were 20.9
percent and 1.98 percent, respectively, in the first quarter of 2001, compared
with returns of 20.8 percent and 1.90 percent in the first quarter of 2000.
Excluding merger and restructuring-related charges, the efficiency ratio (the
ratio of expenses to revenues) was 50.5 percent in the first quarter of 2001,
compared with 50.4 percent in the first quarter of 2000. The banking efficiency
ratio (the efficiency ratio without the impact of investment banking and
brokerage activity) before merger and restructuring-related charges was 45.7
percent in first quarter of 2001 compared with 45.4 percent for the same period
in 2000.
Operating earnings for the first quarter of 2001 included a number of
significant unusual gains and losses (summarized in Table 2). The net impact of
the unusual items was not material to the Company's operating earnings in the
first quarter of 2001. However, individual revenue and expense categories were
materially affected. Net revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis for the first
quarter of 2001 grew by $282.0 million, or 10.5 percent, over the first quarter
of 2000. The increase is primarily due to $216.0 million of securities gains
during the first quarter of 2001 compared with $.3 million of securities losses
and a $10.8 million gain on the sale of a building in the first quarter of 2000.
These net gains are somewhat offset by adverse capital markets conditions during
the first quarter of 2001 relative to the same period of a year ago. As a result
of these conditions, capital markets revenues and trust and asset
management-related revenues declined approximately $100 million from a year ago.
Excluding the impact of gains from securities and other asset sales and the
impact of market conditions on capital markets, trust and asset management
revenues, total revenue for the first quarter of 2001 grew by approximately $180
million, or 8.5%, over the same period of 2000. This reflects core-bank revenue
growth of approximately 6.1 percent and the impact of acquisitions. Total
noninterest expense, excluding merger and restructuring-related charges of
$404.2 million, increased over the first quarter of 2000 by $36.7 million, or
2.7 percent, primarily due to $55.8 million of unusual expense items. Without
these expense items, noninterest expense would have decreased in the first
quarter of 2001 by $19.1 million, or 1.4 percent, from the first quarter of
2000, reflecting a decline in expenses of $55.6 million directly related to a
reduction in capital markets revenues offset by the impact of recent
acquisitions. Refer to "Acquisition and Divestiture Activity" for further
information on the timing of acquisitions and "Noninterest Expense" for further
discussion of merger and restructuring-related charges. The provision for credit
losses for the first quarter of 2001, excluding merger and restructuring-
related charges of $166.6 million, increased by $182.6 million over the first
quarter of 2000. The increase is primarily due to a $160.0 million charge to the
provision for credit losses incurred in connection with an accelerated loan
workout strategy. Refer to "Corporate Risk Profile" for further information on
provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming

ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE ACTIVITY The Company is the organization created by
the merger of Firstar Corporation ("Firstar") of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the
former U.S. Bancorp ("USBM") of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The merger was completed
on February 27, 2001, as a pooling-of-interests transaction and accordingly all
financial information has been restated to include the historical information of
both companies.
Operating results for the first quarter of 2001 reflect the following
transactions accounted for as purchases in 2000. On October 13, 2000, the
Company acquired Scripps Financial Corporation of San Diego, California, which
has 10 branches in San Diego county and total assets of $650 million. On
September 28, 2000, the Company acquired Lyon Financial Services, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the privately held Schwan's Sales Enterprises Inc. in
Marshall, Minnesota. Lyon Financial specializes in small-ticket lease
transactions and had $1.3 billion in assets. On April 7, 2000, the Company
acquired Oliver-Allen Corporation, Inc., a privately held information technology
leasing company with total assets of $280 million. On January 14, 2000, the
Company acquired Peninsula Bank of San Diego, California, which had 11 branches
in San Diego county and total assets of $491 million. In addition to these
business combinations, the Company purchased 41 branches in Tennessee from First
Union National Bank on December 8, 2000 representing approximately $424 million
in loans and $1.78 billion in deposits. Refer to Note 3 and Note 4 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding
business combinations.
LINE OF BUSINESS FINANCIAL REVIEW
Within the Company, financial performance is measured by major lines of business
which include: Wholesale Banking, Consumer Banking, Private Client, Trust and
Asset Management, Payment Services, Capital Markets and Treasury and Corporate
Support. Business line results are derived from the Company's profitability
reporting systems. Designations, assignments and allocations may change from
time to time as management accounting systems are enhanced, product lines change
or business segments are realigned to better respond to our diverse customer
base. During the first quarter of 2001, certain organizations and methodology
changes were made to reflect the recent merger. Accordingly, all results for
2001 and 2000 have been restated and presented on a consistent basis.
Wholesale Banking offers lending, depository, treasury management and other
financial services to middle market, large corporate and public sector clients.
Wholesale Banking contributed $518.7 million of the Company's pre-tax operating
income in the first quarter of 2001, a 13.0 percent increase over the same
period of 2000. Total revenue grew by 14.2 percent from the first quarter of
2000 to the first quarter of 2001, the result of core loan and deposit growth,
as well as the impact of acquisitions in the equipment finance division, and an
increase in noninterest income (17.5 percent), primarily due to cash
management-related fees and growth in international banking fees. Deposit growth
was driven by the Company's Pay.gov program which contributed $325 million of
deposit balances. Offsetting the favorable variance in revenue was an increase
in noninterest expense (20.6 percent), primarily due to the

Consumer Banking delivers products and services to the broad consumer market
and small businesses through banking offices, telemarketing, on-line services,
direct mail and automated teller machines ("ATMs"). It encompasses community
banking, metropolitan banking, small business banking, consumer banking and
investment sales. Consumer Banking contributed $605.0 million of the Company's
pre-tax operating income in the first quarter of 2001, a 9.4 percent increase
over the same period of 2000. Total revenue growth of 6.6 percent in the first
quarter of 2001 over the same quarter of 2000 can be primarily attributed to an
increase in retail deposit and cash management fees, the result of core account
growth, product pricing enhancements and the acquisition of 41 branches in
Tennessee during the fourth quarter of 2000 and growth in other fee-based
product revenues. Mortgage banking and investment product revenues also
contributed to the favorable variance. Partially offsetting the increase in
revenue was an increase in noninterest expense (3.2 percent) primarily related
to the Tennessee branch acquisition.
Private Client, Trust and Asset Management provides mutual fund processing
services, trust, private banking and financial advisory services through four
businesses, including: the Private Client Group, Corporate Trust, Institutional
Trust and Custody, and Mutual Fund Services, LLC. The business segment also
offers investment management services to several client segments including
mutual funds, institutional customers, and private asset management. Private
Client, Trust and Asset Management contributed $151.3 million of the Company's
pre-tax operating income in the first quarter of 2001, a 2.1 percent decline
from the same period of 2000. Strong growth in net interest income (17.8
percent) in the first quarter of 2001 from the first quarter of 2000, the result
of core loan and deposit growth, was offset by a decrease in noninterest income
(3.2 percent) due to lower asset management and trust fee revenues adversely

recent capital market conditions and a general increase in noninterest expense
(3.9 percent).
Payment Services includes consumer and business credit cards, corporate and
purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit, ATM processing and merchant
processing. Payment Services contributed $284.0 million of the Company's pre-tax
operating income in the first quarter of 2001, a 16.0 percent increase over the
same period of 2000. Strong revenue growth of 11.7 percent, primarily due to
growth in credit card and payment processing fees, was partially offset by an
increase in noninterest expense (1.5 percent).
Capital Markets engages in equity and fixed income trading activities,
offers investment banking and underwriting services for corporate and public
sector customers and provides financial advisory services and securities, mutual
funds, annuities and insurance products to consumers and regionally-based
businesses through a network of brokerage offices. Capital Markets contributed
$35.7 million of the Company's pre-tax operating income in the first quarter of
2001, a 50.0 percent decline from the first quarter of 2000. The unfavorable
variances in pre-tax operating income from the first of 2000 were due to
significant decreases in fees related to trading, investment product fees and
commissions and investment banking revenues.
Treasury and Corporate Support includes the Company's investment and
residential mortgage portfolios, funding, capital management and asset
securitization activities, interest rate risk management, the net effect of
transfer pricing related to loan and deposit balances, and the change in
residual allocations associated with the provision for credit losses. It also
includes business activities managed on a corporate basis, including income and
expense of enterprise-wide operations and administrative support functions.
Treasury and Corporate Support recorded a pre-tax operating loss of $14.0
million in the first quarter of 2001, compared to a loss of $147.6 million in
the first quarter of 2000. Included in this business segment in the first
quarter of 2001 were approximately $208.0 million of securities gains partially
offset by $36.8 million of unusual expense items related to the write-down of
certain partnerships and equity
U.S. Bancorp 7

investments. Additionally, a $160.0 million charge to the provision for credit
losses was recorded in this business unit in connection with an accelerated loan
workout strategy. Pretax operating results in the first quarter of 2000 includes
approximately $.3 million of securities losses and a $10.8 million gain on the
sale of an office tower in Boise, Idaho.
STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS
NET INTEREST INCOME First quarter net interest income on a taxable-equivalent
basis was $1,574.1 million, compared with $1,511.6 million recorded in the first
quarter of 2000. Average earning assets for the period increased over the first
quarter of 2000 by $7.3 billion, or 5.3 percent, primarily driven by core
commercial and retail loan growth of $9.3 billion and the impact of
acquisitions, offset by a $3.7 billion decline in lower margin residential
mortgages. The net interest margin was essentially flat in the first quarter of
2001 at 4.41 percent, compared with 4.44 percent in the first quarter of 2000.
Excluding residential mortgage loans, average loans for the first quarter were
higher by $10.9 billion, or 10.6 percent, than the first quarter of 2000,
reflecting both core loan growth and acquisitions. In addition, $3.0 billion of
short term, high quality, low yielding commercial loans were funded in the loan
conduit, Stellar Funding Group, Inc. in the first quarter of 2001. Total average
loans for the first quarter, excluding residential mortgage loans, but including
loans funded in the loan conduit, grew by $11.7 billion, or 11.1 percent, over
the first quarter of 2000.
Average investment securities were $17.9 billion during the first quarter of
2001 compared to $17.8 billion in the first quarter of 2000. Investment
securities at March 31, 2001, were $1.1 billion less than at December 31, 2000,
primarily reflecting net sales of securities. During the first quarter of 2001,
the Company sold $9.3 billion of investment securities recognizing gains of
$208.3 million and purchased $8.7 billion of investment securities.
Average interest-bearing deposits grew by $3.1 billion, or 4.0 percent, over
the first quarter of 2000, reflecting bank acquisitions, growth in core money
market deposits and increases in time deposits greater than $100,000. Average
net free funds increased $652 million to $24.8 billion for the first quarter
compared with a year ago. However, average noninterest-bearing deposits in the
first quarter of 2001 were slightly lower than the first quarter of 2000.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES The provision for credit losses is recorded to bring
the allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management.
During the first quarter of 2001, the provision was $532.4 million, compared
with $183.2 million for the first quarter of 2000. Included in the provision for
credit losses for the first quarter of 2001 is a merger-related charge totaling
$166.6 million consisting of: a $90.0 million charge to align risk management

practices, align chargeoff policies and to expedite the transition out of a
specific segment of the health care industry not meeting the risk profile of the
new company; and, a $76.6 provision for losses related to the sale of consumer
loans. The consumer loan portfolios sold represent high loan-to-value home
equity loans and the indirect automobile loan portfolio of the former USBM.
Excluding the merger and restructuring-related provision of $166.6 million, the
provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2001 increased by $182.6
million over the first quarter of 2000 primarily due to a $160.0 million charge
incurred in connection with an accelerated loan workout strategy. The additional
provision for credit losses was taken after an extensive review of the Company's
commercial portfolio in light of recent declining economic conditions and
company-specific trends. In connection with this strategy, the Company has
written down the carrying values of these loans to estimated secondary market
prices or liquidation values and intends to aggressively pursue the disposition
or restructuring of these loans in a relatively short period of time.
Refer to "Corporate Risk Profile" for further information on factors
considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio
and establishing the allowance for credit losses.
NONINTEREST INCOME First quarter 2001 noninterest income was $1,400.9 million,
an increase of $219.5 million, or 18.6 percent, from the same quarter of 2000.
Noninterest income during the first quarter of 2001 included $216.0 million of
gains related to the sale of investment securities and principal-only residuals.
Noninterest income for the same period in 2000 had $10.5 million of net gains
from asset sales, including securities losses of $.3 million and a $10.8 million
gain related to the sale of an office tower. Excluding the impact of these net
gains, noninterest income in the first quarter of 2001 increased approximately
$14.0 million, or 1.2 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2000. Credit
card and payment processing revenue was higher in the first quarter of 2001 over
the same period of 2000 by $30.8 million, or 14.1 percent, reflecting continued
growth in corporate, merchant and retail card product fees. Deposit service
charges, cash management fees, commercial product revenue, and mortgage banking
revenue also improved in the first quarter of 2001 over the first quarter of
2000 by $23.1 million (18.7 percent), $5.0 million (7.0 percent), $14.5 million
(23.5 percent), and $5.5 million (12.9 percent), respectively. The increases in
deposit service charges, cash management fees and commercial product revenue
were primarily driven by growth in core business and product fee enhancements
during 2000. The increase in mortgage banking revenue in the first quarter of
2001 over the first quarter of 2000 was due to an increase in origination fees,
partially offset by a decrease in gains on the sale of servicing rights.
Offsetting the growth in these items, year-over-year, was a reduction in capital
markets (primarily U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and U.S. Bancorp Libra) and trust
and asset management-related revenues, which declined by approximately $100
million from the first quarter of 2000, reflecting adverse equity capital market
conditions and declining asset values. Excluding the impact of the net gains
from asset sales and these market-driven revenues, first quarter of 2001
noninterest income would have increased by approximately $114 million, or 18.2
percent.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE First quarter 2001 noninterest expense was $1,798.5 million,
an increase of $375.9 million, or 26.4 percent, from the same quarter of 2000.
During the first quarter of 2001, noninterest expense included $404.2 million of
merger and restructuring related charges compared with $65.0 million in the
first quarter of 2000. Excluding merger and restructuring-related charges,
noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2001 totaled $1,394.3 million, an
increase of $36.7 million, or 2.7 percent, from the first quarter of 2000. The
increase in noninterest expense on an operating basis, was primarily the result
of unusual expense items totaling $55.8 million and the impact of recent
acquisitions offset by a decline of approximately $55.6 million in expenses
associated with the slow-down in capital market-related activities. Net
occupancy, goodwill and other intangible expenses increased primarily due to the
purchase of 41 branches in Tennessee completed in the fourth quarter of 2000.
Excluding the $55.8 million of unusual expense items and merger and
restructuring-related charges, noninterest expense would have decreased in the
first quarter of 2001 by $19.1 million, or 1.4 percent, from the first quarter
of 2000.
In the first quarter of 2001, merger and restructuring-related charges
consisted of $356.5 million of expenses associated with the merger of Firstar
and USBM, $22.6 million of restructuring expense for U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray
and $25.1 million of noninterest expense for other recent acquisitions. Other
acquisitions primarily represent Mercantile Bancorporation, the Tennessee branch
purchase and Scripps Financial Corporation.
With respect to the Firstar/USBM merger, the $356.5 million of merger and
restructuring-related expenses included $123.6 million of severance and
employee-related costs, $23.6 million of building and equipment costs and $60.6
million of investment banking and transaction costs. The charges also included
$76.0 million of contributions to charitable foundations, $15.0 million of
non-credit related restructurings, $38.4 million for asset impairments and
related costs and $19.3 million of conversion and integration expenses. Total
merger and restructuring-related expenses associated with the merger of Firstar
and USBM are expected to be $970 million, exceeding the original estimate of
$800 million by $170 million. The majority of the increase is due to risk
management policy conformance and the restructuring of the credit portfolio,
which were not anticipated at the time the merger was announced. This credit
portfolio restructuring, however, is expected to enhance the
10 U.S. Bancorp
12
overall credit risk profile of the Company. In addition, cost savings associated
with the merger of Firstar and USBM are also expected to be higher than the
original estimate of $266 million. The Company now anticipates that cost savings
from the merger will be approximately $325 million, with an accelerated phase-in
of the cost savings in 2001. Along with the additional cost savings, the Company
has identified revenue enhancements that were not originally included in the
transaction economics.
In response to significant changes in the securities markets during the past
six months, including increased volatility, changes in equity valuations, a slow
down in the market for new and secondary issuances of equity, and the
increasingly competitive environment for the industry, U.S. Bancorp Piper
Jaffray is restructuring its operations. The restructuring is expected to
improve the operating efficiency of the individual businesses by removing excess
capacity from the product distribution system and by implementing new, more
effective operating models. Of the estimated $26.0 million of total
restructuring expense to be incurred in 2001, $22.6 million, representing
primarily employee severance costs and certain asset impairments, was expensed
in the first quarter of 2001.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE The provision for income taxes was $215.5 million (an
effective rate of 34.4 percent) in the first quarter of 2001 compared with
$378.4 million (an effective rate of 35.5 percent) for the first quarter of
2000. On an operating basis (excluding impact of merger and restructuring
charges), the provision for income taxes was $399.1 million (an effective rate
of 33.4 percent) in the first quarter of 2001 and $400.4 million (an effective
rate of 35.4 percent) for the same period last year.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
LOANS The Company's loan portfolio was $119.7 billion at March 31, 2001, a
decrease of $2.7 billion from $122.4 billion at December 31, 2000. Commercial
loans, including lease financing, totaled $51.9 billion at March 31, 2001, a
decline of $884 million (1.7 percent) from year-end 2000. This decrease in
commercial loans occurred as a result of the Company funding $3.0 billion of
short term, high quality, low yielding, commercial loans into the loan conduit,
Stellar Funding Group, Inc. in the first quarter of 2001. The Company's
portfolio of commercial real estate mortgages and construction loans remained
stable at $26.4 billion at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. Residential
mortgages, held in the loan portfolio, continued to decline in the first quarter
of 2001, decreasing to $7.4 billion at March 31, 2001, from $7.8 billion at
December 31, 2000. Total retail loan outstandings, which includes credit card,
retail leasing, home equity and other retail loans, decreased $1.5 billion to
$33.9 billion at March 31, 2001, from $35.4 billion at December 31, 2000. In the
first quarter of 2001, the Company sold $1.3 billion of high loan-to-value home
equity loans and the indirect automobile portfolio, both held by the former
USBM, causing the decline in outstanding retail loans balances from year-end.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE Outstanding balances of loans held for sale, primarily
residential mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary markets, increased 58.4
percent from December 31, 2000 to $1.2 billion. This increase reflects the surge
in residential mortgage production volume in the first quarter of 2001, as
production increased to $2.7 billion, up from $1.8 billion in the fourth quarter
of 2000.
SECURITIES At March 31, 2001, investment securities, both available-for-sale and
held-to-maturity, totaled $16.5 billion, compared with $17.6 billion at December
31, 2000, primarily reflecting the net sales of available-for-sale securities.
During the first quarter of 2001, the Company sold $9.3 billion of
available-for-sale securities and purchased $8.7 billion of investment
securities.
DEPOSITS Total deposits were $104.8 billion at March 31, 2001, down $4.7 billion
(4.3 percent) from year-end 2000. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $24.8
billion at March 31, 2001, compared with $26.6 billion at December 31, 2000.
Interest-bearing deposits, including time deposits greater than $100,000,
totaled $80.0 billion at March 31, 2001, compared with $82.9 billion at December
31, 2000. The decrease in noninterest-bearing deposit balances is primarily
attributable to seasonality. The decrease in interest-bearing was primarily due
to decreases in time deposits greater than $100,000, in response to the lower
funding requirements of the Company in the first quarter as a result of the loan
sales previously described.
BORROWINGS Short-term borrowings, which include federal funds purchased,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings,
were $11.7 billion at March 31, 2001, down from $11.8 billion at year-end 2000.
Long-term debt was $21.7 billion at March 31, 2001, down from $21.9 billion at
December 31, 2000.
CORPORATE RISK PROFILE
CREDIT MANAGEMENT The Company's strategy for credit risk management includes
stringent, centralized credit
U.S. Bancorp 11
13
policies, and uniform underwriting criteria for all loans including specialized
lending categories such as mortgage banking, real estate construction and
consumer credit. The strategy also emphasizes diversification on both a
geographic and customer level, regular credit examinations, and quarterly
management reviews of large loans and loans experiencing deterioration of credit
quality. The Company strives to identify potential problem loans early, take any
necessary charge-offs promptly and maintain adequate reserve levels. Commercial
banking operations rely on a strong credit culture that combines prudent credit
policies and individual lender accountability. In addition, the commercial
lenders generally focus on middle market companies within their regions. The
Company utilizes a credit risk rating system in order to measure the credit
quality of individual commercial loan transactions. The risk rating system is
intended to identify and measure the credit quality of lending relationships. In
the Company's retail banking operations, standard credit scoring systems are
used to assess consumer credit risks and to price consumer products accordingly.
The Company also engages in nonlending activities that may give rise to credit
risk, including interest rate swap contracts for balance sheet hedging purposes,
foreign exchange transactions and interest rate swap contracts for customers,
and the processing of credit card transactions for merchants. These activities
are subject to the same credit review, analysis and approval processes as those
applied to commercial loans.
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), trends in loan
performance, the level of allowance coverage, and macroeconomic factors.
Generally, the domestic economy experienced slower growth in 2000. During the
first quarter of 2001, corporate earnings growth rates have continued to decline
and credit quality indicators among certain industry sectors have continued to
deteriorate. Large corporate and middle-market commercial businesses have
announced or begun to implement restructuring activities in an effort to improve
operating margins. The stagnate economic growth is evidenced by the Federal
Reserve Board's recent actions during late 2000 and throughout the first quarter
of 2001 to stimulate economic growth through a series of interest rate
reductions. In response to declining economic conditions, company-specific
portfolio trends, and the merger, the Company has undertaken an extensive review
of its commercial and consumer loan portfolios. As a result of this review, the
Company has taken several actions during the first quarter of 2001 including
aligning the risk management practices and chargeoff policies of the companies,
restructuring a specific segment of its healthcare portfolio and selling certain
consumer loan portfolios of the former USBM. The Company also implemented an
accelerated loan workout strategy for certain commercial credits. The impact of
these actions is discussed throughout the following sections.
ANALYSIS OF NET CHARGE-OFFS Total net loan charge-offs were $477.1 million in
the first quarter of 2001 compared with $183.1 million in the first quarter of
2000. The increase in net charge-offs of $294.0 million was due to actions taken
by the Company during the quarter, deterioration in economic conditions
affecting the commercial loan portfolio and a seasonal increase in credit card
net charge-offs. Included in net charge-offs are $90.0 million of write-offs to
conform risk management practices, align charge-off policies and expedite the
transition out a specific segment of the health care portfolio not meeting the
risk profile of the combined company. On an operating basis, net loan
charge-offs (excluding merger and restructuring-related items) in the first
quarter of 2001 were $387.1 million. Total net charge-offs, excluding
merger-related items, included $160.0 million of charge-offs taken on commercial
credits with pre-charge off commitments totaling $480 million related to the
Company's accelerated loan workout strategy.
Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs were $319.2
million for the first quarter of 2001, or 1.64 percent of average loans
outstanding, compared with $86.9 million, or .44 percent, in the fourth quarter
of 2000 and $52.3 million, or .29 percent, of average loans outstanding, in the
first quarter of 2000. Commercial and commercial real estate loan net
charge-offs in the first quarter of 2001 included $255.0 million in merger and
restructuring-related charge-offs and charge-offs associated with the Company's
accelerated loan workout strategy. Excluding net charge-offs associated with the
merger and accelerated workout strategy, commercial and commercial real estate
loan net charge-offs were .33 percent of average loans outstanding. The Company
expects total net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2001 to increase modestly
from the net charge-offs, excluding those associated with the merger and
accelerated workout strategy, reported in the first quarter of 2001.

Retail loan net charge-offs of $154.7 million were higher than the same
period of 2000 by $28.7 million, or 22.8 percent, and $15.1 million, or 10.8
percent, more than the fourth quarter of 2000. Included in the first quarter of
2001 retail loan charge-offs were $21.3 million of charge-offs associated with
portfolios sold at the end of the quarter. Retail loan net charge-offs as a
percent of average loans outstanding were 1.79 percent in the first quarter of
2001, compared with 1.62 percent and 1.64 percent in the fourth quarter of 2000
and first quarter of 2000, respectively. Excluding the net charge-offs related
to the sold portfolios, retail loan net charge-offs as a percent of average
loans outstanding would have been 1.54 percent.
ANALYSIS OF NONPERFORMING ASSETS Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2001 totaled
$1,090.8 million, compared with $867.0 million at December 31, 2000, and $622.4
million at March 31, 2000. The increase of $223.8 million in nonperforming
assets from December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001 was primarily due to the merger
and restructuring-related and risk management actions taken during the quarter,
as credits were reduced to secondary market value and placed on nonperforming
status. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and other real estate was .91
percent at March 31, 2001, compared with .71 percent at December 31, 2000 and
.54 percent at March 31, 2000. Although the Company has credit and non-credit
relationships with companies in the energy industry, the Company does not have
direct credit exposure to troubled California utilities. Given management's
accelerated loan workout strategy, the Company expects nonperforming loans to
decline modestly from the March 31, 2001 totals through the remainder of 2001.
Accruing loans 90 days or more past due at March 31, 2001, totaled $390.7
million, compared with $385.2 million at December 31, 2000. These loans are not
included in nonperforming assets because they are expected to be returned to
current status. Retail loans 30 to 89 days past due were 1.73 percent of the
retail loan portfolio at March 31, 2001 compared with 2.02 percent at December
31, 2000. The percentage of retail loans 90 days or more past due totaled .84
percent of total retail loans at March 31, 2001, compared with .79 percent at
December 31, 2000. The increase is primarily due to the seasonality of credit
card delinquencies.
ANALYSIS AND DETERMINATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for
credit losses provides coverage for probable losses inherit in the Company's
loan portfolio. Management evaluates the allowance each quarter to determine
that it is adequate to cover inherent losses. The evaluation of each element and
the overall allowance is based on a continuing assessment of problem loans and
related off-balance sheet items, recent loss experience, and other factors,
including regulatory guidance and economic conditions.
The allowance for credit losses was $1,729.1 million at March 31, 2001,
lower than the allowance for credit losses of $1,786.9 million at December 31,
2000. Several factors impacted the allowance for credit losses during the
quarter including

merger and restructuring-related credit actions, management's extensive review
of the commercial loans
portfolio in light of recent economic conditions, risk rating changes by
regulators of shared national credits agented by other banks and
company-specific portfolio trends. The Company also considered the extent of
charge-offs taken in connection with management's decision to accelerate it's
commercial loan workout strategy which reduced carrying values of these loans to
estimated secondary market prices or liquidation values in order to aggressively
pursue their disposition or restructuring. The ratio of allowance for credit
losses to
U.S. Bancorp 15
17
nonperforming loans was 176 percent at March 31, 2001, down from the ratio of
233 percent at December 31, 2000. The decline in the ratio of allowance for
credit losses to nonperforming loans considers the impact of charge-offs taken
during the quarter with credits being reduced to secondary market values and
placed on nonperforming status. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to
period-end loans was relatively stable at 1.45 percent of loans at March 31,
2001, compared with the ratio of 1.46 percent at December 31, 2000. Management
has determined that the allowance for credit losses is adequate.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT The Company manages its exposure to adverse
changes in interest rates through asset and liability management activities
within guidelines established by its Asset/Liability Policy Committee ("ALPC").
The Company limits the exposure of net interest income associated with interest
rate movements through asset/liability management strategies. The ALPC uses net
interest income simulation modeling and market value of equity as the primary
methods for measuring and managing consolidated interest rate risk.
NET INTEREST INCOME SIMULATION MODELING: The Company uses a net interest income
simulation model to estimate the impact on net interest income and net interest
margin due to changes in interest rates. The model, which is updated monthly,
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. ALPC
also calculates the sensitivity of the simulation results to changes in key
assumptions, such as the Prime/LIBOR spread or core deposit repricing. The
results from the simulation are reviewed by ALPC monthly and are used to guide
ALPC's hedging strategies. ALPC guidelines, approved by the Company's Board of
Directors, limit the estimated change in net interest income to 7.5 percent of
forecasted net interest income given a 3 percent change in interest rates
occurring over a 12 month time period. Forecasted net interest income for the
next 12 months would decrease approximately 1.83 percent from an upward parallel
shift in rates and would increase approximately 1.49 percent from a downward
shift of similar magnitude.
MARKET VALUE OF EQUITY: The Company also uses market value of equity as an
interest rate risk management tool. The market value of equity measures the
changes in the value of the Company's assets and liabilities to changes in
interest rates. This model estimates the effect of 1 percent, 2 percent and 3
percent rate shocks on the present value of substantially all future cash flows
of the Company's outstanding assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet
instruments. ALPC also calculates the sensitivity of the simulation results to
changes in key assumptions, such as core deposit repricing and core deposit
life. The amount of market value risk is subject to a limit, approved by the
Company's Board of Directors, of 15 percent change for an immediate 200 basis
point rate shock. The Company's market value risk position continues to be
substantially lower than its limits.
USE OF DERIVATIVES TO MANAGE INTEREST RATE RISK: While each of the interest rate
risk measurements has limitations, taken together they represent a comprehensive
view of the magnitude of the Company's interest rate risk over various time
intervals. The Company manages its risk by entering into interest rate
derivative contracts, primarily receive fixed interest rate swaps and, to a
lesser degree basis swaps and interest rate caps and floors.
Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed- and
variable-rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount on
which the interest payments are calculated. As of March 31, 2001, the Company
received and made payments on $8.0 billion notional amount of interest rate swap
agreements. These swaps had a weighted average interest rate received of 6.46
percent and a weighted average interest rate paid of 5.34 percent. The remaining
maturity of these agreements ranges from 1 month to 25.7 years with an average
remaining maturity of 4.7 years.
The Company also purchases interest rate caps, floors and basis swaps to
minimize the impact of fluctuating interest rates on earnings. To reduce it's
exposure to rising interest rates, the Company may use interest rate caps.
Counterparties to these interest rate cap agreements pay the Company based on
the notional amount and the difference between current rates and strike rates.
There were no caps outstanding at March 31, 2001. To reduce it's exposure to
declining interest rates, the Company uses interest rate floors. Like caps,
counterparties to interest rate floor agreements pay the Company based on the
notional amount and the difference between current rates and strike rates. The
total notional amount of floor agreements purchased as of March 31, 2001, all of
which were LIBOR-indexed, was $500 million. Basis swaps help the Company manage
the monthly interest income at risk within each year. At March 31, 2001, the
notional amount of the Company's basis swaps

*At March 31, 2001, the Company received fixed-rate interest and paid
variable-rate interest on substantially all swaps in its hedging portfolio. The
Company had $1.0 billion in basis swaps maturing in 2002.
totaled $1.0 billion. The impact of basis swaps, and interest rate caps and
floors was not significant to the results of operations for the first quarters
of 2001 and 2000.
All derivative transactions that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded
at fair value as other assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The
derivatives are classified as either a hedge of the fair value of a recognized
fixed rate asset or liability ("fair value" hedge) or as a hedge of the
variability of cash flows related to a recognized asset or liability or a
forecasted transaction ("cash flow" hedge).
Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges and
the offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items are recorded in
income. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges
are recorded in other comprehensive income until income from the cash flows of
the hedged items are recorded. The Company performs an assessment, both at the
inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, to determine whether these
derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged items.
Hedge ineffectiveness for both cash flow and fair value hedges is immediately
recorded in noninterest income.
For a fair value hedge, if the swap or contract is terminated, or ceases to
be highly effective, the gain or loss recorded as an adjustment to the carrying
amount of the hedged item is amortized to earnings over the remaining life of
the hedged asset or liability. If the hedged item is disposed of, the swap or
contract agreement is marked to market with any resulting gain or loss included
in the gain or loss from the disposition.
For a cash flow hedge, if the swap or contract is terminated, or ceases to
be highly effective, the gain or loss recorded in other comprehensive income is
amortized into income during the same period(s) that the forecasted hedged
transaction impacts earnings. If the hedged item is disposed of, and the
forecasted transactions are no longer probable, the swap or contract agreement
is marked to market with any resulting gain or loss included in the gain or loss
from the disposition.
Intermediated swaps and all other derivative contracts are marked to market
and resulting gains or losses are recorded in trading account profits and
commissions. The Company's derivative trading activities are not material to the
consolidated financial statements.
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT Market risk is subject to regular monitoring by
management. The Company uses a value-at-risk ("VaR") model to measure and manage
market risk in its broker/dealer activities. The VaR model uses an estimate of
volatility appropriate to each instrument and a ninety-ninth percentile adverse
move in the underlying markets. Market risk limits are established subject to
approval by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's VaR limit was $40
million at March 31, 2001. The market valuation risk inherent in its
broker/dealer activities, including equities, fixed income, high yield
securities and foreign exchange, as estimated by the VaR analysis, was $16.0
million at March 31, 2001.
In addition to the VaR analysis, the Company imposes stop loss limits and
position limits. A stress-test model is used to provide management with
perspective on market events that a VaR model does not capture. In each case,
the historical worst performance of each asset class is observed and applied to
current trading positions.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Total shareholder's equity was $15.2 billion at March 31,
2001, an increase of $1.2 billion from the $14.0 billion reported at March 31,
2000. The increase was the result of strong corporate earnings, including merger
and restructuring-

ACCOUNTING CHANGES
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. ("SFAS") 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, establishes accounting and
reporting standards for all derivative instruments and criteria for designation
and effectiveness of hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet
and measure those instruments at fair value. The changes in the fair value of
the derivatives are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met. If the derivative qualifies as a hedge, the
accounting treatment varies based on the type of risk being hedged. On January
1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133. Translation adjustments related to
adoption resulted in an after-tax loss of approximately $4.1 million to net
income and an after-tax increase of $5.2 million to other comprehensive income.
The transition adjustments related to adoption were not material to the
Company's financial statements; and, although recorded, were not separately
reported in the consolidated statement of income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
information and footnotes 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 the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of results have been made,
and the Company believes such presentation is adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Current Report on
Form 8-K dated April 17, 2001, which includes the Company's restated financial
statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2000. The financial
statements give effect to the merger of U.S. Bancorp and Firstar Corporation as
discussed in Note 3. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to
conform to the current presentation.
Accounting policies for the lines of business are generally the same as
those used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements with respect
to activities specifically attributable to each business line. However, the
preparation of business line results requires management to establish
methodologies to allocate funding costs and benefits, expenses and other
financial elements to each line of business. Table 3 "Line of Business Financial
Performance" on pages 5 through 8 provides details of segment results. This
information is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
NOTE 2
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended,
establishes accounting and reporting standards for all derivative instruments
and criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging activities. SFAS 133
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
The changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. If the derivative
qualifies as a hedge, the accounting treatment varies based on the type of risk
being hedged. The Company adopted SFAS 133 as of January 1, 2001. Translation
adjustments related to adoption resulted in an after-tax loss of approximately
$4.1 million to net income and an after-tax increase of $5.2 million to other
comprehensive income. The transition adjustments related to adoption were not
material to the Company's financial statements; and although recorded, were not
separately reported in the consolidated statement of income.
NOTE 3
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING-RELATED CHARGES
The Company recorded merger and restructuring-related charges of $570.8 million
in the first three months of 2001. These charges were primarily related to the
merger of Firstar and USBM. Other merger and restructuring-related charges in
2001 were related to the Company's various prior acquisitions and included
primarily system conversion costs and integration costs associated with
consolidating redundant operations. The components of the charges are shown
below:

The Company determines merger-related charges and related accruals based on
its integration strategy and formulated plans. These plans are established as of
the acquisition date and regularly evaluated during the integration process.
Severance charges include the cost of severance, other benefits and
outplacement costs associated with the termination of employees primarily in
branch offices and centralized corporate support and data processing functions.
The severance amounts are determined based on the Company's existing severance
pay programs and are paid out over a benefit period of up to two years from the
time of termination. It is anticipated that approximately 2,500 employees will
be included in the Firstar and USBM merger and restructuring-related severance
charges. The adequacy of the accrued severance liability is reviewed
periodically taking into consideration actual payments and remaining projected
payment liabilities. Adjustments are made to increase or decrease these accruals
as needed. Reversals of expenses can reflect a lower utilization of benefits by
affected staff, changes in initial assumptions as a result of subsequent mergers
and alterations of business plans.
Systems conversion costs are recorded as incurred and are associated with
the preparation and mailing of numerous customer communications for the
acquisitions and conversion of customer accounts, printing and distribution of
training materials and policy and procedure manuals, outside consulting fees,
and other expenses related to the system conversions and the integration of
acquired branches and operations.
Asset writedowns and lease terminations represent lease termination costs
and impairment of assets for redundant office space, branches that will be
vacated and equipment disposed of as part of the integration plan.
In connection with the merger of Firstar and USBM, the Company made
charitable contributions of $76.0 million to reaffirm the Company's commitment
to its market or as part of specific conditions necessary to achieve regulatory
approval. These contributions were funded up-front and represent costs that
would not have been incurred had the merger not occurred. Charitable
contributions are charged to merger and restructuring expenses or considered in
determining the acquisition cost at the applicable closing date.
Balance sheet restructuring charges of $181.6 million are comprised of $90.0
million of charge-offs to align risk management practices, align charge-off
policies and to expedite the Company's transition out of a segment of the health
care industry; $76.6 million of losses related to retail loan portfolio sales of
USBM; and, $15.0 million of charges related to the planned disposition of
certain equity investments that no longer align with the long-term strategy of
the Company. The alignment of risk management practice included a write-down of
several large commercial loans, loans originally held separately by both Firstar
and USBM, primarily taken to allow the Company to exit or reduce these credits
to conform with the credit exposure policy of the combined entity.
Other merger-related expenses of $60.6 million primarily include investment
banking fees, legal fees, and stock registration fees associated with the merger
of Firstar and USBM.
The following table presents a summary of activity with respect to the
Company's merger of Firstar and USBM:

In connection with the merger of Firstar and USBM, management estimates the
Company will incur additional pre-tax merger-related charges of $446.9 million,
approximately $242.9 million in 2001 and $204.0 million in 2002. These are
currently estimated to include $63.8 million in employee-related costs, $307.5
million for conversions of systems and consolidations of operations, $79.9
million in occupancy and equipment charges related to the elimination of
duplicate facilities and write-off of equipment, and a net credit of ($4.3)
million related to branch sales and other merger-related charges.
In addition to the estimated expenses of the Firstar and USBM merger, the
Company expects to incur an additional $53.3 million, pretax, of merger and
restructuring-related expenses, primarily in 2001, in connection with its other
acquisitions.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities", as amended. This statement requires the recognition of all
derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and the measurement of
those instruments at fair value. Subsequent changes in the derivatives' fair
values are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met.
The derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are classified either as a
hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability ("fair value" hedge)
or as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to
a recognized asset or liability, or a forecasted transaction ("cash flow"
hedge). Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges
and the offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items are recorded in
noninterest income. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly
effective and designated as a cash flow hedge are recognized in other
comprehensive income until income from the cash flows of the hedged item are
recognized. All hedge transactions are reviewed on a quarterly basis to
determine whether they are highly effective; any change in fair value resulting
from hedge ineffectiveness is recorded in noninterest income.
FAIR VALUE HEDGES At March 31, 2001, the Company had interest rate swaps with a
fair value of $191.3 million recorded in other assets and designated as fair
value hedges of underlying fixed rate debt, trust preferred securities, and
deposit obligations. At the same time, fair value adjustments have been recorded
as a reduction to the related debt, trust preferred securities, and deposit
obligations. Each period the changes in fair value of both the hedge instruments
and the underlying debt obligations are recorded as gains or losses in the
noninterest income component of the income statement. These hedge transactions
were highly effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and the change in
fair value of the swaps attributed to hedge ineffectiveness was not material.
In addition, the Company enters into forward commitments to sell groups of
residential mortgage loans that it originates or purchases as part of its
mortgage banking activities. The Company commits to sell the loans at specified
prices in a future period, typically within 90 days. The Company is exposed to
interest rate risk during the period between issuing a loan commitment and the
sale of the loan into the secondary market. Specific forward commitments are
designated as a hedge against changes in fair value of fixed rate mortgage loans
held for sale attributed to changes in interest rates. The fair value of these
forward commitments was $1.0 billion at March 31, 2001. The change in fair value
of the swaps attributed to hedge ineffectiveness was not material for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001.
CASH FLOW HEDGES At March 31, 2001, the Company had interest swaps with a fair
value of $33.7 million designated as cash flow hedges linked to the cash flows
of variable rate loans and variable rate debt. The swaps are recorded in other
assets with an offsetting entry to other comprehensive income. The gain will be
reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the same
period the forecasted transactions occur and are recorded. The estimated amount
of the gain expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months
is $13.5 million. The change in fair value of the swaps attributed to hedge
ineffectiveness was not material for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The
Company has determined that the occurrence of the hedged forecasted transactions
remains probable.
U.S. Bancorp 31
33
OTHER DERIVATIVE ACTIVITY The Company acts as an intermediary for interest rate
swaps, caps, floors, foreign exchange contracts on behalf of its customers. To
reduce its market risk exposure, the Company generally enters into offsetting
positions. Market value changes on intermediated swaps and other derivatives are
recognized in income in the period of change. Realized gains or losses on
intermediated transactions were not significant for the quarter ended March 31,
2001.
In addition, the Company enters into interest rate swaps and other
derivative contracts to protect against interest rate risk and credit risk but
do not meet the criteria to receive hedge accounting treatment. These
derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet as trading account
assets or liabilities and any changes in fair value are recorded in income.
The Company also enters into forward commitments to protect against changes
in fair value of fixed rate mortgage loan commitments not yet funded. These
forward commitment transactions and unfunded loan commitments are recorded on
the balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded through
earnings. The fair value of both the forward commitments and the loan
commitments was $1.3 billion at March 31, 2001.
