CEO Commentary
"In the fourth quarter we posted diluted earnings per share of $1.07 and delivered a return on tangible common equity of 18.3%, both as adjusted for notable items. Year-over-year top line revenue growth and continued expense discipline resulted in 190 basis points of positive operating leverage on an adjusted basis. Both full year and linked quarter results showcased the benefits of effective balance sheet management, earning asset repricing and mix, as well as our diversified business model. Noninterest income benefited from strong year-over-year growth in commercial products as well as trust and investment management fees as we're seeing the results of greater "interconnectedness" play out in the form of deeper relationships, an enhanced product set, and broader distribution across the franchise. Credit quality remains stable, and our CET1 capital ratio ended the year at 10.6% as we balanced continued capital accretion with a modest initial share buyback this quarter. As we move into 2025, we are well positioned to deliver industry-leading returns on tangible common equity and remain confident in our strategy for future growth and our ability to deliver meaningful positive operating leverage. In closing, I would like to extend our sincerest thoughts to those impacted by the devastating wildfires in California. We are closely monitoring this situation and stand ready to assist our many employees, clients, and communities in their time of need."
- Andy Cecere, Chairman and CEO, U.S. Bancorp

U.S. Bancorp Fourth Quarter 2024 Results

Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp was $1,663 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, $816 million higher than the $847 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $51 million lower than the $1,714 million for the third quarter of 2024. Diluted earnings per common share was $1.01 in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with $0.49 in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $1.03 in the third quarter of 2024. The fourth quarter of 2024 included notable items of $82 million or ($0.06) per diluted common share. The fourth quarter of 2023 included notable items of $780 million or ($0.50) per diluted common share. Excluding the impact of notable items, net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $1,745 million, $118 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2023 and $31 million higher than the third quarter of 2024.

The increase in net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp year-over-year was primarily due to higher total net revenue and lower noninterest expense driven by higher notable items in the prior year quarter, partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses. Excluding notable items, pretax income in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased 3.8 percent compared with a year ago. Net interest income increased 0.8 percent on a year-over-year taxable-equivalent basis, due to higher rates on earning assets and balance sheet growth, partially offset by higher funding costs driven by interest rates on deposits, mix and pricing. The net interest margin decreased to 2.71 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024 from 2.78 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by balance sheet composition partially offset by the factors described above. Noninterest income increased 8.1 percent compared with a year ago (3.5 percent excluding prior year notable items) driven by higher trust and investment management fees and commercial products revenue, partially offset by lower mortgage banking revenue and other revenue. Noninterest expense decreased 17.4 percent primarily due to higher notable items in the prior year quarter and lower professional services, marketing and business development, and other noninterest expense, partially offset by higher compensation and employee benefits expense. Excluding notable items in both quarters, noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased slightly compared with the fourth quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses increased $48 million (9.4 percent) compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, largely driven by higher losses on credit card and commercial loans.

Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp decreased on a linked quarter basis primarily due to notable items in the fourth quarter of 2024 and higher income tax provision, partially offset by higher total net revenue. Excluding notable items in the fourth quarter of 2024, pretax income increased 6.8 percent on a linked quarter basis. Net interest income increased 0.2 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis. The net interest margin decreased to 2.71 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024 from 2.74 percent in the third quarter of 2024, driven by slightly higher average earning assets. Noninterest income in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased 5.0 percent from the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to higher trust and investment management fees, higher other revenue, and net losses on securities sales in the prior quarter, partially offset by lower payments revenue, commercial products revenue and mortgage banking revenue. Noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased by 2.5 percent from the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to notable items, partially offset by lower compensation and employee benefits expense. Excluding notable items in the fourth quarter of 2024, noninterest expense decreased slightly on a linked quarter basis. The provision for credit losses increased $3 million (0.5 percent) compared with the third quarter of 2024.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $4,176 million, an increase of $34 million (0.8 percent) from the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the impact of higher rates on earning assets and balance sheet growth, partially offset by higher funding costs due to interest rates on deposits, mix and pricing. Average earning assets were $20.0 billion (3.4 percent) higher than the fourth quarter of 2023, reflecting increases of $9.4 billion (5.8 percent) in average investment securities due to balance sheet positioning and liquidity management, $2.8 billion (0.8 percent) in average total loans, $2.8 billion (6.0 percent) in average interest-bearing deposits with banks, and $4.1 billion (41.7 percent) in other earning assets.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased $10 million (0.2 percent) on a linked quarter basis. Average earning assets were $7.1 billion (1.2 percent) higher on a linked quarter basis, reflecting increases of $4.4 billion (2.7 percent) in average investment securities due to balance sheet positioning and liquidity management, $1.6 billion (0.4 percent) in average total loans and $1.0 billion (7.8 percent) in other earning assets.

The net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2024 was 2.71 percent, compared with 2.78 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2.74 percent in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in the net interest margin from the prior year was driven by changes in balance sheet composition, partially offset by factors mentioned above. The decrease in the net interest margin from the prior quarter was driven by slightly higher average earning assets.

Average total loans for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $2.8 billion (0.8 percent) higher than the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher total commercial loans (3.3 percent), residential mortgages (2.8 percent) and credit card loans (6.1 percent), partially offset by lower total commercial real estate loans (7.3 percent) and total other retail loans (5.4 percent). The increase in commercial loans was primarily due to growth in corporate banking. The increase in residential mortgages was primarily driven by originations. The increase in credit card loans was primarily driven by customer account growth and higher spend volume. The decrease in commercial real estate loans was primarily due to loan workout activities and payoffs exceeding a reduced level of new originations. The decrease in other retail loans was primarily due to lower automobile loans.

Average total loans were $1.6 billion (0.4 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher total commercial loans (1.7 percent) and residential mortgages (0.7 percent), partially offset by lower total commercial real estate loans (3.1 percent). Linked quarter changes were primarily driven by similar factors as the year-over-year changes.

Average total deposits for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $9.5 billion (1.9 percent) higher than the fourth quarter of 2023. Average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $7.7 billion (8.5 percent) reflecting balance decreases within Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking and Consumer and Business Banking. Average total savings deposits were $13.4 billion (3.7 percent) higher year-over-year driven by increases within Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking and Consumer and Business Banking. Average time deposits were $3.8 billion (7.3 percent) higher than the fourth quarter of 2023 mainly within Consumer and Business Banking, partially offset by decreases within Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking. Changes in time deposits are primarily related to those deposits managed as an alternative to other funding sources, based largely on relative pricing and liquidity characteristics.

Average total deposits increased $3.6 billion (0.7 percent) from the third quarter of 2024. On a linked quarter basis, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $2.0 billion (2.4 percent) reflecting an increase within Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking, partially offset by a decrease within Consumer and Business Banking. Average total savings deposits increased $3.9 billion (1.1 percent) driven by increases within Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking and Consumer and Business Banking. Average time deposits were $2.3 billion (3.9 percent) lower on a linked quarter basis due to decreases within Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking and Consumer and Business Banking.

Fourth quarter noninterest income of $2,833 million was $213 million (8.1 percent) higher than the fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding notable items of $(118) million in the fourth quarter of 2023, noninterest income in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $95 million (3.5 percent) from the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by higher payment services revenue, trust and investment management fees and commercial products revenue. Payment services revenue increased $16 million (1.6 percent) compared with the fourth quarter of 2023. Within payment services revenue, corporate payments products revenue increased $9 million (4.9 percent) due to higher sales volume, and merchant processing revenue increased $10 million (2.4 percent) due to business volume growth. Card revenue was impacted by a reduction in prepaid card volumes from a year ago. Trust and investment management fees increased $82 million (13.2 percent) driven by business growth and favorable market conditions. Commercial products revenue increased $38 million (11.7 percent) driven by customer-related derivative activity. Partially offsetting these increases were lower mortgage banking revenue of $21 million (15.3 percent) due to the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights, net of hedging activities and lower other revenue of $21 million (9.2 percent).

Noninterest income was $135 million (5.0 percent) higher in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with the third quarter of 2024. The increase was driven by higher trust and investment management fees and other revenue, and prior quarter net losses on securities sales of $119 million. Trust and investment management fees increased $36 million (5.4 percent) driven by business growth and favorable market conditions. Other revenue increased $64 million (44.8 percent) driven by seasonally higher tax-advantaged investment syndication revenue. Partially offsetting these increases were lower payment services revenue, commercial products revenue, and mortgage banking revenue. Payment services revenue decreased $26 million (2.4 percent) compared with the third quarter of 2024. Within payment services revenue, corporate payments products revenue decreased $12 million (5.9 percent) and merchant processing revenue decreased $21 million (4.8 percent), both due to lower sales volume. Commercial products revenue decreased $33 million (8.3 percent) due to lower corporate bond fees. Mortgage banking revenue decreased $39 million (25.2 percent) primarily driven by the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights, net of hedging activities and lower production volume.

Fourth quarter noninterest expense of $4,311 million was $908 million (17.4 percent) lower than the fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding notable items of $109 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $1,015 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, fourth quarter noninterest expense decreased $2 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was driven by lower professional services, marketing and business development, and other noninterest expense, partially offset by higher compensation and employee benefits expense. Professional services expense decreased $23 million (14.6 percent) due to prudent expense management and continued focus on operational efficiency. Marketing and business development expense decreased $36 million (18.4 percent) due to the timing of campaigns. Compensation and employee benefits expense increased $98 million (3.9 percent) compared with the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher commissions, corporate incentives, and medical expenses.

Noninterest expense increased $107 million (2.5 percent) from the third quarter of 2024. Excluding notable items of $109 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, fourth quarter noninterest expense decreased $2 million on a linked quarter basis primarily driven by lower compensation and employee benefits expense, offset by small increases in several other expense categories. Compensation and employee benefits expense decreased $30 million (1.1 percent) primarily due to operational efficiencies, lower performance-based incentives, and timing of corporate incentives, partially offset by higher medical expenses.

Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2024 resulted in a tax rate of 21.9 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis (effective tax rate of 20.8 percent), compared with 16.5 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis (effective tax rate of 13.9 percent) in the fourth quarter of 2023, and a tax rate of 18.1 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis (effective tax rate of 16.9 percent) in the third quarter of 2024. The fourth quarter of 2023 and third quarter of 2024 included the impact of favorable tax settlements.

U.S. Bancorp Fourth Quarter 2024 Results
The Company's provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $560 million, compared with $557 million in the third quarter of 2024 and $512 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The fourth quarter of 2024 provision was $3 million (0.5 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2024 and $48 million (9.4 percent) higher than the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in provision expense on a year-over-year basis was primarily driven by higher losses on credit card and commercial real estate loans. The Company continues to monitor economic uncertainty related to interest rates, inflationary pressures, and other economic factors that may affect the financial strength of corporate and consumer borrowers.

Total net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2024 were $562 million, compared with $564 million in the third quarter of 2024 and $463 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The net charge-off ratio was 0.60 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024 and in the third quarter of 2024, compared with 0.49 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in net charge-offs on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to higher recoveries on commercial real estate loans, partially offset by higher charge-offs on credit card and other retail loans. The increase in net charge-offs on a year-over-year basis primarily reflected higher losses on commercial and credit card loans, partially offset by lower losses on commercial real estate loans.

The allowance for credit losses was $7,925 million at December 31, 2024, compared with $7,927 million at September 30, 2024, and $7,839 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on a year-over-year basis was primarily driven by portfolio growth. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans was 2.09 percent at December 31, 2024, compared with 2.12 percent at September 30, 2024, and 2.10 percent at December 31, 2023. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 442 percent at December 31, 2024, compared with 438 percent at September 30, 2024, and 541 percent at December 31, 2023.

Nonperforming assets were $1,832 million at December 31, 2024, compared with $1,848 million at September 30, 2024, and $1,494 million at December 31, 2023. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and other real estate was 0.48 percent at December 31, 2024, compared with 0.49 percent at September 30, 2024, and 0.40 percent at December 31, 2023. The increase in nonperforming assets on a year-over year basis was primarily due to higher commercial and commercial real estate nonperforming loans. Accruing loans 90 days or more past due were $810 million at December 31, 2024, compared with $738 million at September 30, 2024, and $698 million at December 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators, U.S. Bancorp (the "Company") considers various other measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including:
•Tangible common equity to tangible assets
•Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets
•Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, reflecting the full implementation of the current expected credit losses methodology, and
•Return on tangible common equity.
These 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 and use of capital relative to other financial services companies. These measures are not defined in generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") or are not currently effective or defined in banking regulations. In addition, certain of these measures differ from currently effective capital ratios defined by banking regulations principally in that the currently effective ratios, which are subject to certain transitional provisions, temporarily exclude the full impact of the 2020 adoption of accounting guidance related to impairment of financial instruments based on the current expected credit losses methodology. As a result, these measures disclosed by the Company may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes this information helps investors assess trends in the Company's capital utilization and adequacy.
The Company also discloses net interest income and related ratios and analysis on a taxable-equivalent basis, which may also be considered non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes this presentation to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income as it provides a relevant comparison of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. In addition, certain performance measures utilize net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis, including the efficiency ratio, tangible efficiency ratio, net interest margin, and tax rate.
The adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on tangible common equity, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted noninterest income, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per common share, and adjusted operating leverage exclude notable items.

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

Treasury and Corporate Support generated a $443 million loss before provision and taxes in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with a $1,415 million loss before provision and taxes in the fourth quarter of 2023, and recorded a net loss of $248 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses increased $33 million (50.0 percent) compared with the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to less favorable effects in the current quarter related to changes in the economic outlook. Total net revenue was higher by $167 million (54.6 percent) in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to an increase of $74 million (15.9 percent) in net interest income and an increase of $93 million (58.1 percent) in total noninterest income. Net interest income increased primarily due to higher rates on earning assets and balance sheet growth, partially offset by higher funding costs. The increase in total noninterest income was primarily due to the prior year net losses on the sales of securities, partially offset by a decrease in other revenue. Total noninterest expense decreased $805 million (72.6 percent) compared with the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to a decline in notable items, partially offset by higher compensation and employee benefits expense.

Income taxes are assessed to each line of business at a managerial tax rate of 25.0 percent with the residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate included in Treasury and Corporate Support.
