2 U.S. BANCORP | The following information appears in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 : This presentation contains forward - looking statements about U . S . Bancorp . Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward - looking statements and are based on the information available to, and assumptions and estimates made by, management as of the date hereof . These forward - looking statements cover, among other things, anticipated future revenue and expenses and the future plans and prospects of U . S . Bancorp . Forward - looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including the following risks and uncertainties and the risks and uncertainties more fully discussed under “Risk Factors” in U . S . Bancorp's 2021 Annual Report, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated . The COVID - 19 pandemic is adversely affecting U . S . Bancorp, its customers, counterparties, employees, and third - party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on its business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects is uncertain . Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect U . S . Bancorp’s revenues and the values of its assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions, lead to a tightening of credit, and increase stock price volatility . In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices could affect U . S . Bancorp in substantial and unpredictable ways . U . S . Bancorp’s results could also be adversely affected by changes in interest rates ; increases in unemployment rates ; deterioration in the credit quality of its loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans ; deterioration in the value of its investment securities ; legal and regulatory developments ; litigation ; increased competition from both banks and non - banks ; civil unrest ; the effects of climate change ; changes in customer behavior and preferences ; breaches in data security, including as a result of work - from - home arrangements ; failures to safeguard personal information ; effects of mergers and acquisitions and related integration ; effects of critical accounting policies and judgments ; and management’s ability to effectively manage credit risk, market risk, operational risk, compliance risk, strategic risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and reputation risk . In addition, U . S . Bancorp's proposed acquisition of MUFG Union Bank presents risks and uncertainties, including, among others : the risk that the cost savings, any revenue synergies and other anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition may not be realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized ; the risk that U . S . Bancorp's business could be disrupted as a result of the announcement and pendency of the proposed acquisition and diversion of management's attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities ; the possibility that the proposed acquisition, including the integration of MUFG Union Bank, may be more costly or difficult to complete than anticipated ; delays in closing the proposed acquisition ; and the failure of required governmental approvals to be obtained or any other closing conditions in the definitive purchase agreement to be satisfied . For discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, refer to U . S . Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2021 , on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Corporate Risk Profile” contained in Exhibit 13 , and all subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 13 (a), 13 (c), 14 or 15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 . In addition , factors other than these risks also could adversely affect U . S . Bancorp’s results, and the reader should not consider these risks to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties . Forward - looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and U . S . Bancorp undertakes no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events . This presentation includes non - GAAP financial measures to describe U . S . Bancorp’s performance . The calculations of these measures are provided in the Appendix . These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non - GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies .
