MINNEAPOLIS, October 16, 2001 - U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB) today reported operating earnings of $149.7 million for the third quarter of 2001, compared with $788.8 million for the third quarter of 2000. Operating earnings of $.08 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2001 were lower than the same period of 2000 by $.33, or 80.5 percent. Operating earnings on a cash basis were $.15 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2001, compared with $.46 in the third quarter of 2000. Return on U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 2 average common equity and return on average assets, excluding merger and restructuring-related items, were 3.5 percent and .35 percent, respectively, in the third quarter of 2001, compared with returns of 21.8 percent and 1.97 percent in the third quarter of 2000. U.S. Bancorp (the "Company") is the organization created by the merger of Firstar Corporation ("FSR") of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the former U.S. Bancorp ("USB") of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The merger was completed on February 27, 2001, as a pooling-of-interests, and prior periods have been restated. Including after-tax merger and restructuring-related items of $111.0 million in the third quarter of 2001 and $78.5 million in the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded net income for the third quarter of 2001 of $38.7 million, or $.02 per diluted share, compared with $710.3 million, or $.37 per diluted share, for the same period of 2000. As previously announced, the Company's third quarter results included an incremental provision for credit losses of $1,025 million, or approximately $655 million after-tax. Earnings for the third quarter of 2001 also reflect the impact of a $36.0 million impairment of commercial and retail leasing residuals, recognition of $24.7 million of mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") impairment, and approximately $14.0 million of write-downs of commercial leasing partnerships and repossessed tractor/trailer property, partially offset by gains on the sale of securities of $59.8 million. In addition, the level of third quarter earnings compared with the prior quarter and the same quarter of 2000 was less than expected due to a slowdown in capital markets activity and payment processing volumes during the last three weeks of September. Although it is still early in the fourth quarter, given third quarter operating results and the Company's belief that current economic trends will continue into the fourth quarter of 2001, full year 2001 operating earnings are expected to be approximately $1.32 per diluted share. U.S. Bancorp President and Chief Executive Officer Jerry A. Grundhofer said, "As the economic slowdown accelerated during the latter part of the quarter, we promptly recognized the need to address the impact that these sudden changes could have on our credit portfolio. It also became apparent that capital markets and payment processing-related revenues would be below expectations in the quarter. U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 3 We are disappointed with our third quarter results, but believe the actions we have taken to build balance sheet strength will give us the flexibility necessary to address the current uncertain economic environment. In the face of this uncertainty, and critical to achieving the organization's long-term goals, our Consumer Banking business line demonstrated its growth potential in the quarter as average retail loans increased an annualized 10.1 percent compared with the second quarter of 2001 and average noninterest-bearing deposits increased an annualized 12.4 percent compared with the second quarter of 2001. Integration activities remained on schedule, including the flawless conversion of bank-branded consumer credit cards and the successful rollout of the Five Star Service Guarantee in the former U.S. Bancorp markets. As an organization, we will continue to do what is right for our customers and prospects, including the achievement of our goal of providing industry-leading customer service." Total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2001 grew by $160.3 million, or 5.8 percent, over the third quarter of 2000, primarily due to acquisitions, securities gains and core banking growth, partially offset by a reduction in capital markets-related revenue, credit card fee revenue and the recognition of lease residual impairment. Excluding securities gains, total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2001 grew by $101.6 million, or 3.7 percent, over the third quarter of 2000. Total noninterest expense, before merger and restructuring-related items, increased over the third quarter of 2000 by $85.0 million, or 6.4 percent, primarily reflecting acquisitions, the recognition of MSR impairment, and the write-down of commercial lease assets, partially offset by a reduction in compensation expense related to capital markets activity and cost savings from the integration of recent acquisitions. Provision for credit losses, before merger and restructuring-related items, for the third quarter of 2001 increased by $1,061.0 million over the third quarter of 2000, reflecting an increase in charge-offs quarter over quarter and a $712 million addition to the allowance for credit losses. The increase to the allowance recognizes the increasing probability that the current economic slowdown will accelerate or be more prolonged as a result of recent events. U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 4 Net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2001 were $563.3 million, compared with the second quarter of 2001 net charge-offs of $240.3 million and third quarter of 2000 net charge-offs of $213.9 million. Approximately $313.2 million of the increase in charge-offs reflects several factors, including recent collateral deterioration, further credit deterioration in the manufacturing, communications and technology sectors, and specific management decisions to accelerate its workout strategy for certain borrowers. Nonperforming assets decreased from $1,215.1 million at June 30, 2001, to $1,132.4 million at September 30, 2001, primarily reflecting management's credit quality initiatives. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 243 percent at September 30, 2001, compared with 156 percent at June 30, 2001. On July 24, 2001, the Company acquired NOVA Corporation (NYSE: NIS) ("NOVA") in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $2.1 billion. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. On September 7, 2001, the Company acquired 20 branches in Southern California from Pacific Century Bank in a cash transaction. The acquisition includes approximately $640 million in deposits, $570 million in assets and 300 employees. U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 5

Net Interest Income Third quarter net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $1,619.8 million, compared with $1,534.2 million recorded in the third quarter of 2000. Average earning assets for the period increased over the third quarter of 2000 by $4.1 billion, or 2.9 percent, primarily driven by increases in the investment portfolio, core commercial and retail loan growth, and the impact of U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 6 acquisitions, partially offset by a $2.3 billion decline in lower margin residential mortgages, a $1.8 billion reduction related to transfers of low margin, higher quality, commercial loans to Stellar Funding Group, Inc. (the "loan conduit") and the sale of indirect automobile and high LTV home equity loans in the first quarter of 2001. The net interest margin in the third quarter of 2001 was 4.42 percent, compared with 4.37 percent in the second quarter of 2001 and 4.32 percent in the third quarter of 2000. The improvement in the net interest margin in the third quarter of 2001 over the third quarter of 2000 and the second quarter of 2001 reflects funding benefits of the declining rate environment and improving spreads due to product re-pricing dynamics and loan conduit transfers, partially offset by lower yields on the investment portfolio.

U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 7 Average loans for the third quarter of 2001 were $2.0 billion lower, or 1.7 percent, than the third quarter of 2000. Year-over-year loan growth was impacted by several management actions, including the first quarter of 2001 sale of the home equity and indirect automobile loan portfolios, the reclassification of a discontinued unsecured small business product to loans held for sale, branch divestitures, and transfers of short-term, high quality, commercial loans to the loan conduit. In addition, the Company continued to reduce its lower margin residential mortgage portfolio. Excluding residential mortgage loans, average loans for the third quarter were higher by $361 million, or .3 percent, than the third quarter of 2000. Excluding residential mortgage loans, average loans for the third quarter of 2001 were lower than the second quarter of 2001 by $1.5 billion, or 1.3 percent, primarily reflecting the transfer of commercial loans to the conduit and the second quarter of 2001 reclassification of a discontinued unsecured small business product to loans held for sale. Investment securities at September 30, 2001, were $8.9 billion more than at September 30, 2000, and $4.5 billion higher than at June 30, 2001, reflecting net purchases of securities. Average investment securities for the third quarter of 2001 were $5.9 billion higher, or 35.0 percent, than the same of quarter of 2000. Average noninterest-bearing deposits in the third quarter of 2001 were higher than the third quarter of 2000 by $1.5 billion, or 6.3 percent. Average interest-bearing deposits declined by $303 million, or .4 percent, from the third quarter of 2000. Growth in average interest checking and money market deposits was more than offset by reductions in the average balances of higher cost savings and time deposits.

Noninterest Income Third quarter noninterest income, excluding merger and restructuring-related items, was $1,308.3 million, an increase of $74.7 million, or 6.1 percent, from the same quarter of 2000, and a $43.9 million, or 3.5 percent, increase from the second quarter of 2001. Excluding the impact of securities gains and merger and restructuring-related items, noninterest income in the third quarter of 2001 was $16.0 million, or 1.3 percent, higher than the third quarter of 2000, and $15.4 million, or 1.2 percent, higher than the second quarter of 2001. Credit card fee revenue was lower in the third quarter of 2001 over the same period of 2000 by $16.0 million, or 7.7 percent, primarily due to lower corporate, purchasing and retail card transaction volumes. The decline, in part, reflects lower charge volumes during the last three weeks of September. Merchant and ATM processing revenue was higher in the third quarter of 2001 over the same period of 2000 by $85.5 million, or 161.3 percent, principally due to U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 9 the acquisition of NOVA. Deposit service charges, commercial product revenue, cash management fees, and mortgage banking revenue also improved in the third quarter of 2001 over the third quarter of 2000 by $24.4 million (16.9 percent), $10.2 million (11.9 percent), $15.0 million (20.1 percent), and $15.6 million (34.9 percent), respectively. The increase in deposit service charges was primarily due to the alignment and re-design of products and features following the Firstar/U.S. Bancorp merger. The increase in cash management fees and commercial product revenue was primarily driven by the growth in core business and product fee enhancements during 2000. Mortgage banking revenue increased in the third quarter of 2001 compared with the third quarter of 2000 due to increases in origination and sales fees and loan servicing revenue, partially offset by a decrease in gain on the sale of servicing rights. Other income declined $63.0 million from a year ago, primarily reflecting a $36.0 million impairment of commercial and retail leasing residuals in the third quarter of 2001 and a decline in the level of gains on equity investments compared with the third quarter of 2000. Excluding securities gains and merger and restructuring-related items, noninterest income increased in the third quarter of 2001 by $15.4 million, or 1.2 percent, over the second quarter of 2001. Merchant and ATM processing revenue increased by $76.6 million (123.7 percent) over the second quarter of 2001, due to the NOVA acquisition. Positive variances in commercial product revenue, cash management fees and mortgage banking revenue were more than offset by reductions in capital market-related revenues, deposit service charges and other income.

Noninterest Expense Third quarter noninterest expense, before merger and restructuring-related charges, totaled $1,418.7 million, an increase of $85.0 million, or 6.4 percent, from the third quarter of 2000. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily the result of core business growth and approximately $85 million related to recent acquisitions, including NOVA, Scripps Financial, Lyon Financial and 41 branches in Tennessee, $24.7 million of MSR impairment related to the declining rate environment, and asset writedowns of $14.0 million of commercial leasing partnerships and repossessed tractor/trailer property, partially offset by cost savings related to merger integration and restructuring activities and a reduction in expense related to capital markets activity. The Company actively hedges its risk of MSR impairment through principal only and other investment positions. As such, a portion of the MSR impairment was offset by securities gains recognized during the quarter. Third quarter of 2001 noninterest expense, before merger and restructuring-related charges, was higher than the second quarter of 2001 by $76.8 million, or 5.7 percent, primarily due to the acquisition of NOVA and the MSR impairment and asset writedowns.

U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 13 Credit Quality The allowance for credit losses was $2,458.0 million at September 30, 2001, compared with the allowance for credit losses of $1,715.7 million at June 30, 2001. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 243 percent at September 30, 2001, higher than the ratio of 156 percent at June 30, 2001. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to period-end loans was 2.15 percent at September 30, 2001, compared with 1.45 percent at June 30, 2001. During the third quarter of 2001, the Company recognized an incremental provision for credit losses to strengthen its allowance coverage ratios. This action recognizes an increasing probability that the current economic slowdown will accelerate or be more prolonged as a result of recent events. Management's action reflects increasing uncertainties surrounding the timing of an economic recovery and its impact on the credit quality of the loan portfolio. Given recent events, deterioration in the manufacturing and transportation sectors is now expected to continue. Uncertainty with respect to the airline industry, travel and entertainment and consumer-related businesses also has been considered by management in determining the allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2001. Total net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2001 were $563.3 million, compared with the second quarter of 2001 net charge-offs of $240.3 million and the third quarter of 2000 net charge-offs of $213.9 million. Total net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2001 included $313.2 million of commercial charge-offs related to specific credit initiatives taken by management. Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs were $395.7 million for the third quarter of 2001, or 2.07 percent of average loans outstanding, compared with $86.9 million, or .45 percent, in the second quarter of 2001 and $80.2 million, or .41 percent, of average loans outstanding, in the third quarter of 2000. Approximately $313.2 million of the increase in charge-offs reflects several factors including: a large cattle fraud, recent collateral deterioration specific to transportation equipment caused by the impact of fuel prices and the economy, further deterioration in the U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 14 manufacturing, communications and technology sectors and specific management decisions to accelerate its workout strategy for certain borrowers. Excluding net charge-offs associated with these events and management credit initiatives ("normalized" net charge-offs), commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2001 were $82.5 million, or .43 percent of average loans outstanding. Retail loan net charge-offs of $164.0 million in the third quarter of 2001 were higher than the same period of 2000 by $32.6 million, or 24.8 percent, and $13.9 million, or 9.3 percent, higher than the second quarter of 2001. The increase in retail loan net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2001 from the second quarter of 2001 was primarily due to higher bankruptcies, reflecting the continuing downturn in economic conditions. Retail loan net charge-offs as a percent of average loans outstanding were 1.85 percent in the third quarter of 2001, compared with 1.75 percent and 1.58 percent in the second quarter of 2001 and third quarter of 2000, respectively.

U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 15 The Company expects total net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2001 to decrease modestly from the normalized net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2001. However, given the increasing probability that the current economic slowdown will accelerate or be more prolonged by recent events, there is still significant uncertainty as to the level and timing of commercial charge-offs over the next several quarters.

The $82.7 million decrease in nonperforming assets from June 30, 2001, to September 30, 2001, was primarily due to U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 16 the commercial charge-offs taken in the quarter.

Total shareholder's equity was $16.8 billion at September 30, 2001, compared with $14.3 billion at September 30, 2000. The increase was the result of strong corporate earnings, including merger and restructuring-related items, offset by dividend payments and share buybacks in the third quarter of 2000 prior to the announcement of the merger of Firstar and the former U.S. Bancorp. Tangible common equity to assets was 5.9 percent at September 30, 2001, compared with 6.6 percent at June 30, 2001, and 6.3 percent at September 30, 2000. The Tier 1 capital ratio was 7.2 percent at September 30, 2001, compared with 8.0 percent at June 30, 2001, and 7.1 percent at September 30, 2000. The decrease primarily reflects the NOVA acquisition, including the level of intangibles and the capital structure utilized to acquire the company. The total risk-based capital ratio was 11.4 percent at September 30, 2001, compared with 11.2 percent at June 30, 2001, and 10.6 percent at September 30, 2000. The improvement in the total risk-based capital ratio in the third quarter of 2001 primarily reflects changes in the mix of investment securities in addition to the second quarter of 2001 issuance of "trust preferred" securities. The leverage ratio was 7.3 percent at September 30, 2001, compared with 8.0 percent at June 30, 2001, and 7.2 percent at September 30, 2000. All regulatory ratios continue to be in excess of stated "well capitalized" requirements. U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 17

Line of Business 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 Other Corporate Support. The business line results are derived from the Company's profitability reporting systems. Designations, assignments and allocations may change from time to time as product lines change or segments are realigned to better respond to our diverse customer base. All results for 2001 and 2000 have been restated to present consistent methodologies for all business lines. Wholesale Banking offers lending, depository, treasury management and other financial services to middle market, large corporate and public sector clients. Wholesale Banking contributed $483.3 million of the Company's pre-tax operating income in the third quarter of 2001, a 5.8 percent increase over the same period of 2000 and a 3.1 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2001. Total revenue grew by 7.9 percent from the third quarter of 2000 to the third quarter of 2001, the result of deposit growth, as well as the impact of an equipment finance division acquisition, and an increase in noninterest income (21.7 percent), particularly cash management-related fees. Offsetting the favorable variance in revenue was an increase in noninterest expense (18.6 percent), primarily due to the leasing acquisition and planned growth in targeted markets. U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 19 Consumer Banking delivers products and services to the broad consumer market and small businesses through banking offices, telemarketing, on-line service, direct mail and automated teller machines ("ATM"). It encompasses community banking, metropolitan banking, small business banking, consumer lending, mortgage banking and investment sales. Consumer Banking contributed $540.8 million of the Company's pre-tax operating income in the third quarter of 2001, an 11.9 percent decrease from the same period of 2000, and an 11.3 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2001. Total revenue declined by 2.5 percent in the third quarter of 2001 from the same quarter of 2000. Fee-based revenue increased 13.7 percent from a year ago, while net interest income declined 8.2 percent. The decrease in net interest income reflects the impact of declining interest rates on the funding benefit of consumer deposits, the divestiture of home equity and indirect automobile loans in the first quarter of 2001, and branches divestitures during the second quarter of 2001 in connection with the FSR/USB merger. The decline was partially offset by a funding benefit related to the acquisition of 41 branches in Tennessee. Growth in fee-based revenue from a year ago is primarily attributed to an increase in retail deposit and cash management fees, the result of core account growth, product pricing enhancements, the alignment and re-design of products and features following the merger, and fee revenue related to the Tennessee branch acquisition. Mortgage banking revenue also contributed to the favorable variance. Noninterest expense increased over the third quarter of 2000 (11.2 percent), primarily due to MSR impairment and 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. 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 $162.9 million of the Company's pre-tax operating income in the third quarter of 2001, a 3.2 percent decrease from the same period of 2000 and equal to the second quarter of 2001. Growth in net interest income (1.3 percent) in the third quarter of 2001 from the third quarter of 2000 was driven by growth in loans and deposits of 11.6 percent and 4.0 percent, respectively. Noninterest income declined by 3.7 percent primarily due to softness in account management fees affected by the markets. Noninterest expense decreased by 1.9 percent due to integration activities. U.S. Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results October 16, 2001 Page 20 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 $294.8 million of the Company's pre-tax operating income in the third quarter of 2001, a 6.5 percent increase over the same period of 2000 and a 3.4 percent increase over the second quarter of 2001. Strong revenue growth of 16.2 percent, primarily due to the acquisition of NOVA, was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense (39.3 percent) related to the acquisition. 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 $20.0 million of the Company's pre-tax operating income in the third quarter of 2001, a 49.0 percent decline from the third quarter of 2000 and a 39.0 percent decline from the second quarter of 2001. The unfavorable variances in pre-tax operating income from the third quarter of 2000 and second quarter of 2001 were due to significant decreases in fees related to trading, investment products 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 income of $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2001, compared with losses of $120.8 million in the third quarter of 2000 and $80.4 million in the second quarter of 2001. The increase in pre-tax operating earnings was primarily driven by an improvement in net interest income due to the funding and asset liability management activities during the declining rate environment.
