Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp was $1,476 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, 0.8 percent lower than the $1,488 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, and 0.9 percent lower than the $1,489 million for the third quarter of 2015. Diluted earnings per common share of $0.80 in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $0.01 higher than the fourth quarter of 2014 and $0.01 lower than the previous quarter. The decrease in net income year-over-year was due to a higher provision for credit losses, lower noninterest income, impacted by the 2014 Nuveen gain, partially offset by increases in payments-related revenue and trust and investment management fees and the gain on the sale of a Health Savings Account deposit portfolio (“HSA deposit sale”), along with an increase in net interest income primarily driven by growth in earning assets. The decrease in net income on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to a seasonal increase in noninterest expense and the provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher net interest income primarily due to loan growth.

U.S. Bancorp Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Richard K. Davis said, “U.S. Bancorp delivered a remarkable performance in 2015; a year underscored by persistent and historically low interest rates, modest economic growth, and increasing regulatory requirements. More than any year in recent history, 2015 required strong management focus as we balanced decisions on operating efficiencies with opportunities for investing in future growth and addressing our customers’ needs. U.S. Bancorp rose to that challenge, delivering record net income and diluted EPS for the year and continuing with industry-leading performance metrics. We are well positioned as we move into 2016 – as indicated by our record fourth quarter revenue, strong momentum toward positive operating leverage during the quarter and the continued stability in our net interest margin. We also created value for our shareholders as we returned 72 percent of our 2015 earnings back to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.

“As the operating environment continues to improve, we are optimistic about the momentum building in our core businesses, particularly within our Wealth Management and Security Services and Payment Services businesses. We recently announced an exciting new agreement with Fidelity Investments. U.S. Bank will become the exclusive issuer of the Fidelity^® Rewards Visa Signature^® Card and the Fidelity Investments 529 College Rewards^® Visa Signature^® Card. This program reflects the strength of our Payment Services business and strategic significance of our diversified business model.

“I am very proud of our 67,000 employees and their passionate commitment to creating value for our shareholders, customers, and communities. We were recently named one of the Most Ethical Companies in the World by the Ethisphere Institute. We also became one of the few banks to offer all the “Pays” – Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay – to our customers. We were one of the top three Small Business

Administration (SBA) lenders, fueling economic growth and progress across the country. And we invested millions of dollars and thousands of hours into improving our communities. As we look to 2016, we are well positioned to continue providing quality products and services to our customers and exceptional value to our shareholders from a position of strength and stability that our stakeholders have come to expect from U.S. Bancorp.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $2,871 million, an increase of $72 million (2.6 percent) over the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase was the result of growth in average earning assets, partially offset by a continued shift in loan portfolio mix. Average earning assets were $18.1 billion (5.1 percent) higher than the fourth quarter of 2014, driven by increases of $10.3 billion (4.2 percent) in average total loans and $7.4 billion (7.5 percent) in average investment securities. Net interest income increased $50 million (1.8 percent) on a linked quarter basis, primarily due to higher average total loans. Average total loans were $4.2 billion (1.7 percent) higher on a linked quarter basis, excluding the student loan reclassification.

The net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2015 was 3.06 percent, compared with 3.14 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014, and 3.04 percent in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in the net interest margin on a year-over-year basis primarily reflected a change in loan portfolio mix, as well as growth in the investment portfolio at lower average rates and lower reinvestment rates on investment securities. On a linked quarter basis, the increase in the net interest margin was principally due to loan growth which also resulted in lower cash balances.

Investment Securities

Average investment securities in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $7.4 billion (7.5 percent) higher year-over-year and $1.6 billion (1.5 percent) higher than the prior quarter. These increases were primarily due to purchases of U.S. government agency-backed securities, net of prepayments and maturities, to support regulatory liquidity coverage ratio requirements.

Loans

Average total loans were $10.3 billion (4.2 percent) higher in the fourth quarter of 2015 than the fourth quarter of 2014, due to growth in total commercial loans (9.0 percent), credit card loans (4.7 percent), total other retail loans (4.0 percent) total commercial real estate loans (3.1 percent) and residential mortgages (2.1 percent). These increases were partially offset by a decline in covered loans (30.2 percent), including the impact of the expiration of the loss sharing agreements on commercial and commercial real estate assets at the end of 2014. Average total loans were $6.2 billion (2.5 percent) higher in the fourth quarter of 2015 than the third quarter of 2015. Excluding the student loan reclassification, average total loans were $4.2 billion (1.7 percent) higher in the fourth quarter of 2015 than the third quarter of 2015. The increase was driven by growth in total commercial loans (2.5 percent), credit card (5.0 percent) and residential mortgages (2.2 percent). The Company also acquired a $1.6 billion credit card portfolio at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015 which did not have a material impact to average balances for the quarter.

growth in corporate trust, Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate, and Consumer and Small Business Banking balances. Growth in Consumer and Small Business Banking total savings deposits included net new account growth of 3.2 percent.

Average total deposits increased $4.8 billion (1.7 percent) over the third quarter of 2015. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $3.0 billion (3.6 percent) on a linked quarter basis, due to higher balances in Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate and corporate trust.

Noninterest Income

Fourth quarter noninterest income was $2,340 million, which was $30 million (1.3 percent) lower than the fourth quarter of 2014 and $14 million (0.6 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to the impact of the 2014 Nuveen gain, partially offset by fee revenue growth and the HSA deposit sale. Higher credit and debit card revenue, trust and investment management fees, and merchant processing services were partially offset by a decrease in mortgage banking revenue, primarily due to an unfavorable change in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), net of hedging activities. Credit and debit card revenue increased $22 million (8.1 percent) due to higher transaction volumes. Trust and investment management fees increased $14 million (4.3 percent), reflecting the benefits of the Company’s investments in corporate trust and fund services businesses, as well as account growth and improved market conditions and lower fee waivers. Merchant processing services increased $9 million (2.3 percent) as a result of higher transaction volumes, along with account growth and equipment sales to merchants related to new chip card technology requirements, which decreased in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted for the approximate $16 million impact of foreign currency rate changes, year-over-year merchant processing services growth would have been approximately 6.5 percent.

Noninterest income was $14 million (0.6 percent) higher in the fourth quarter of 2015 than the third quarter of 2015. The increase in noninterest income on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to the HSA deposit sale and credit and debit card revenue, partially offset by seasonally lower corporate payment products revenue and lower mortgage banking revenue. Credit and debit card revenue increased $25 million (9.3 percent), primarily due to seasonally higher sales volumes. Other income increased $40 million (17.5 percent) reflecting the impact of the prior quarter notable items including the Visa Inc. Class B common stock sales and the student loan market adjustment, offset by the HSA deposit sale and other equity investment income. Corporate payment products revenue decreased $20 million (10.5 percent), reflecting the impact of seasonally higher third quarter government-related transaction volumes and mortgage banking revenue decreased $13 million (5.8 percent), primarily due to lower origination revenue.

Noninterest Expense

Fourth quarter noninterest expense was $2,809 million, which was $5 million (0.2 percent) higher than the fourth quarter of 2014. Compensation expense increased $61 million (5.3 percent), reflecting the impact of merit increases and higher staffing for risk and compliance activities, while employee benefits expense was $27 million (11.0 percent) higher, mainly due to increased pension costs. Offsetting these increases was a $33 million (25.6 percent) decline in marketing and business development, principally due to charitable contributions in the fourth quarter of 2014, and $35 million (6.4 percent) lower other noninterest expense, reflecting the impact of prior year legal accruals partially offset by higher compliance-related expenses.

Noninterest expense increased $34 million (1.2 percent) on a linked quarter basis, reflecting seasonally higher costs related to investments in tax-advantaged projects and accruals related to legal and compliance matters, partially offset by the favorable impact of reduced mortgage-related compliance and talent upgrade costs which were elevated in the third quarter 2015. Compensation expense declined $13 million (1.1 percent), reflecting the impact of expense management initiatives and decreases in variable compensation, and a $13 million (4.6 percent) decrease in employee benefits expense was driven by lower payroll tax expense and healthcare costs.

Credit Quality

The Company’s provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $305 million, which was $23 million (8.2 percent) higher than the prior quarter and $17 million (5.9 percent) higher than the fourth quarter of 2014. The provision for credit losses was equal to net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2015, $10 million lower than net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2015, and $20 million lower than net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2014. Total net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $305 million, compared with $292 million in the third quarter of 2015, and $308 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Net charge-offs increased $13 million (4.5 percent) on a linked quarter basis due to seasonally higher credit card charge-offs and lower commercial mortgage and construction and development recoveries, while the $3 million (1.0 percent) decrease in net charge-offs on a year-over-year basis reflected improvements in residential mortgages and total other retail loans. Given current economic conditions, the Company expects the level of net charge-offs to remain relatively stable in the first quarter of 2016.

The allowance for credit losses was $4,306 million at December 31, 2015, and at September 30, 2015, compared with $4,375 million at December 31, 2014. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans was 1.65 percent at December 31, 2015, compared with 1.69 percent at September 30, 2015, and 1.77 percent at December 31, 2014. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 361 percent at December 31, 2015, compared with 347 percent at September 30, 2015, and 298 percent at December 31, 2014.

At December 31, 2015, approximately $3.2 billion of commercial loans (approximately 1.2 percent of total loans outstanding) were to customers in energy-related businesses. The decline in energy prices over the past year has resulted in deterioration of a portion of these loans; however, the impact of this deterioration was not significant to the Company during 2015. Based on the uncertain outlook for commodity prices in the near term and the potential for further energy price declines, the Company may see additional stress within its energy and metals-related loan portfolios in 2016. At December 31, 2015, the Company had credit reserves of approximately 5 percent of total energy loan balances.

Beginning January 1, 2014, the regulatory capital requirements effective for the Company follow Basel III, subject to certain transition provisions from Basel I over the following four years to full implementation by January 1, 2018. Basel III includes two comprehensive methodologies for calculating risk-weighted assets: a general standardized approach and more risk-sensitive advanced approaches, with the Company’s capital adequacy being evaluated against the methodology that is most restrictive.

All regulatory ratios continue to be in excess of “well-capitalized” requirements. The common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio estimated for the Basel III standardized approach as if fully implemented was 9.1 percent at December 31, 2015, compared with 9.2 percent at September 30, 2015, and 9.0 percent at December 31, 2014. The common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio estimated for the Basel III advanced approaches as if fully implemented was 11.9 percent at December 31, 2015, compared with 12.4 percent at September 30, 2015, and 11.8 percent at December 31, 2014.

Global financial markets could experience a recurrence of significant turbulence, which could reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions and lead to a tightening of credit, a reduction of business activity, and increased market volatility. Stress in the commercial real estate markets, as well as a downturn in the residential real estate markets could cause credit losses and deterioration in asset values. In addition, U.S. Bancorp’s business and financial performance is likely to be negatively impacted by recently enacted and future legislation and regulation. U.S. Bancorp’s results could also be adversely affected by deterioration in general business and economic conditions; changes in interest 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 securities held in its investment securities portfolio; legal and regulatory developments; litigation; increased competition from both banks and non-banks; changes in customer behavior and preferences; breaches in data security; 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 reputational risk.

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, 2014, 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. However, factors other than these also could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s results, and the reader should not consider these factors 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators, 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 estimated for the Basel III fully implemented standardized approach, and

● Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets estimated for the Basel III fully implemented advanced approaches.

These measures are viewed by management as useful additional methods of reflecting the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market or economic conditions. Additionally, presentation of these measures allows investors, analysts and banking regulators to assess the Company’s capital position relative to other financial services companies. These measures differ from currently effective capital ratios defined by banking regulations principally in that the numerator includes unrealized gains and losses related to available-for-sale securities and excludes preferred securities, including preferred stock, the nature and extent of which varies among different financial services companies. These measures are not defined in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), or are not currently effective or defined in federal banking regulations. As a result, these measures disclosed by the Company may be considered non-GAAP financial measures.

There may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, the Company encourages readers to consider the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this press release in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure. A table follows that shows the Company’s calculation of these Non-GAAP financial measures.

Lines of Business

The Company’s major lines of business are Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate, Consumer and Small Business Banking, Wealth Management and Securities Services, Payment Services, and Treasury and Corporate Support. These operating segments are components of the Company about which financial information is prepared and is evaluated regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Noninterest expenses incurred by centrally managed operations or business lines that directly support another business line’s operations are charged to the applicable business line based on its utilization of those services, primarily measured by the volume of customer activities, number of employees or other relevant factors. These allocated expenses are reported as net shared services expense within noninterest expense. Designations, assignments and allocations change from time to time as management systems are enhanced, methods of evaluating performance or product lines change or business segments are realigned to better respond to the Company’s diverse customer base. During 2015, certain organization and methodology changes were made and, accordingly, prior period results were restated and presented on a comparable basis.

(a) preliminary data

Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate offers lending, equipment finance and small-ticket leasing, depository services, treasury management, capital markets, international trade services and other financial services to middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate, financial institution, non-profit and public sector clients. Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate contributed $209 million of the Company’s net income in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with $275 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate’s net income decreased $66 million (24.0 percent) from the same quarter of 2014 due to increases in the provision for credit losses and total noninterest expense, along with a decrease in total net revenue. Total net revenue decreased $18 million (2.4 percent), due to a $7 million (1.3 percent) decrease in net interest income and an $11 million (4.7 percent) decrease in

total noninterest income. Net interest income decreased year-over-year, primarily due to lower rates and fees on loans, partially offset by higher average total loans. The decrease in total noninterest income was driven by higher loan-related charges, partially offset by higher wholesale transaction activity. Total noninterest expense was $19 million (6.2 percent) higher compared with a year ago, primarily due to an increase in variable costs allocated to manage the business and increased compensation and employee benefits expense, mainly due to higher variable compensation, merit and pension costs. The provision for credit losses increased $66 million due to an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation driven by a decline in energy prices and an increase in net charge-offs.

Consumer and Small Business Banking delivers products and services through banking offices, telephone servicing and sales, on-line services, direct mail, ATM processing and mobile devices, such as mobile phones and tablet computers. It encompasses community banking, metropolitan banking and indirect lending, as well as mortgage banking. Consumer and Small Business Banking contributed $351 million of the Company’s net income in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with $368 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Consumer and Small Business Banking’s net income decreased $17 million (4.6 percent) from the same quarter of 2014 due to a decrease in total net revenue and an increase in total noninterest expense, partially offset by a decrease in the provision for credit losses. Total net revenue decreased $22 million (1.2 percent). Net interest income was $3 million (0.3 percent) higher due to higher average loan and deposit balances. Noninterest income was $25 million (3.9 percent) lower, primarily due to lower mortgage banking revenue as a result of an unfavorable change in the valuation of MSRs, net of hedging activities. Total noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2015 increased $35 million (3.0 percent) over the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due higher mortgage servicing-related expenses, along with higher compensation and employee benefits expense, reflecting higher variable compensation, merit and pension costs. The provision for credit losses decreased $30 million (49.2 percent) due to lower net charge-offs, along with a favorable change in the reserve allocation driven by improvements in the mortgage portfolio.

(a) preliminary data

Wealth Management and Securities Services provides private banking, financial advisory services, investment management, retail brokerage services, insurance, trust, custody and fund servicing through five businesses: Wealth Management, Corporate Trust Services, U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Institutional Trust & Custody and Fund Services. Wealth Management and Securities Services contributed $71 million of the Company’s net income in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with $64 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The business line’s contribution was $7 million (10.9 percent) higher than the same quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting an increase in total net revenue, partially offset by an increase in total noninterest expense. Total net revenue increased $30 million (6.6 percent) year-over-year, driven by a $15 million (4.2 percent) increase in total noninterest income, reflecting the impact of account growth and improved market

conditions and lower fee waivers, along with an increase in net interest income of $15 million (15.8 percent), principally due to higher average deposit balances. Total noninterest expense increased $21 million (6.0 percent), primarily as a result of higher net shared services expense and increased compensation and employee benefits expense due to merit and pension costs. The provision for credit losses was relatively flat year-over-year.

Payment Services includes consumer and business credit cards, stored-value cards, debit cards, corporate, government and purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit and merchant processing. Payment Services contributed $326 million of the Company’s net income in the fourth quarter of 2015,

U.S. Bancorp Fourth Quarter 2015 Business Line Results

compared with $304 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The $22 million (7.2 percent) increase in the business line’s contribution from the prior year was due to an increase in total net revenue, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense and an increase in the provision for credit losses. Total net revenue increased $76 million (5.8 percent) year-over-year. Net interest income increased $49 million (10.4 percent), primarily due to improved loan rates and higher average loan balances and fees. Total noninterest income was $27 million (3.2 percent) higher year-over-year due to an increase in credit and debit card revenue on higher transaction volumes, along with higher merchant processing services, driven by increased transaction volumes and product fees and equipment sales to merchants related to new chip card technology requirements, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency rate changes. Total noninterest expense increased $34 million (5.4 percent) over the fourth quarter of 2014, driven by higher net shared services, compensation and marketing expenses. The provision for credit losses increased $9 million (4.7 percent) due to higher net charge-offs.

(a) preliminary data

Treasury and Corporate Support includes the Company’s investment portfolios, most covered commercial and commercial real estate loans and related other real estate owned, funding, capital management, interest rate risk management, income taxes not allocated to 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 recorded net income of $519 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with $477 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase in net income of $42 million (8.8 percent) over the prior year was due to decreases in total noninterest expense and the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a decrease in total net revenue. Net interest income increased $12 million (2.2 percent) over the fourth quarter of 2014, principally

due to growth in the investment portfolio. Total noninterest income decreased $36 million (12.0 percent) from the fourth quarter of last year, mainly due to the 2014 Nuveen gain, partially offset by the HSA deposit sale. Total noninterest expense decreased $104 million (29.3 percent), principally due to the notable items in the fourth quarter of 2014, partially offset by higher compensation and employee benefits expense, reflecting higher pension costs, the impact of merit increases and staffing for risk and compliance activities. The provision for credit losses was $27 million lower year-over-year, primarily due to lower net charge-offs, along with a favorable change in the reserve allocation.

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 made.  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, and

important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.  A reversal or slowing of the current economic recovery or

another severe contraction could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s revenues and the values of its assets and liabilities.  Global financial markets

could experience a recurrence of significant turbulence, which could reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions and lead to

a

tightening

of

credit,

a

reduction

of

business

activity,

and

increased

market

volatility.

Stress

in

the

commercial

real

markets,

as

well

as

a

downturn

in

the

residential

markets,

could

cause

credit

losses

and

deterioration

in

asset

values.

In

addition,

U.S.

Bancorp’s

business

and

financial

performance

is

likely

to

be

negatively

impacted

by

recently

enacted

and

future

legislation

and

regulation.

U.S.

Bancorp’s

results

could also be adversely affected by deterioration in general business and economic conditions; changes in interest 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 securities held in its

investment securities portfolio; legal and regulatory developments; litigation; increased competition from both banks and non-banks; changes in

customer behavior and preferences; breaches in data security; 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 reputational risk.

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, 2014, 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
