CEO Commentary
"In the second quarter we posted diluted earnings per share of $1.11, delivered a return on tangible common equity of 18% and posted a return on average assets of 1.08%. Importantly, year-over-year top-line revenue growth, coupled with our continued expense discipline, resulted in 250 basis points of positive operating leverage, as adjusted, and an efficiency ratio of 59.2% for the quarter. Our results showcased continued momentum across several of our diversified fee income businesses, which now represent approximately 42% of company-wide revenue. Our fee growth was led by payment services revenue, trust and investment management fees, and treasury management fees, which benefited from greater interconnectedness across the franchise and self-funded investments in our organic growth. Our asset quality metrics held steady this quarter with a net charge-off ratio of 59 basis points, and our continued capital levels remain strong.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to executing on our strategic priorities and making disciplined progress towards achieving our medium-term financial targets. Our diversified business mix and sound risk management culture remain strengths, especially at a time of economic volatility. On behalf of all my U.S. Bank colleagues, I would like to thank our clients and shareholders, for their loyalty and support of our exceptional company."
— Gunjan Kedia, President and CEO, U.S. Bancorp
Business and Other Highlights
Elavon Jumps Two Spots in 2025 Nilson Report Ratings
Elavon, the merchant services payment provider of U.S. Bank, has moved up two spots in the 2025 Nilson Report to become the fifth-largest U.S. merchant acquirer and the second-largest bank-owned merchant acquirer as ranked by Mastercard and Visa purchase volume. Elavon processes more than $576 billion in transactions worldwide annually and provides payment processing to eight of the top 10 airlines globally and seven of the top 10 largest U.S. hotel brands.
U.S. Bank Completes First Fully Digital Trade Finance Transaction
U.S. Bank has completed its first trade finance collection transaction using a fully digital process, marking a step forward in the bank’s efforts to modernize trade and working capital for clients. U.S. Bank is the first U.S. bank to utilize the blockchain-based WaveBL platform, which supports encrypted document transfers between trading partners and their banks. Previously, a transaction like this would have required a courier to physically transport documents across continents, often taking several days. By contrast, the digital process reduced that timeline to minutes – eliminating delays, enhancing security and compliance, and avoiding disruptions from external events.
U.S. Bank and Fiserv to Create Integrated Agent Card Issuance
U.S. Bank and Fiserv are working together to integrate U.S. Bank’s Elan Financial Services credit card program into Fiserv’s Credit Choice solution. This will allow financial institutions to deliver a digital-first, branded agent-bank credit card program for consumer and small business cardholders. The enhanced platform will allow users to manage both debit and credit card accounts within a single digital interface, improving user experience and operational efficiency. Financial institutions will benefit from streamlined onboarding and servicing tools, while the rollout of new capabilities is expected to continue through 2025 and into early 2026.
U.S. Bank Expands Embedded Payments Suite to Power Efficient, Secure Transactions
U.S. Bank recently unveiled an expanded suite of embedded payment solutions. U.S. Bank Embedded Payment Solutions offer businesses across industries a powerful way to integrate efficient, secure payment capabilities directly into websites, apps, enterprise systems and fintech integrations. Building on Elavon’s success with tech-led embedded merchant acquiring solutions, this expansion is another step in U.S. Bank’s ongoing work to integrate payment capabilities into the software and platforms businesses rely on daily while enabling faster, easier and secure financial transactions.

U.S. Bancorp Second Quarter 2025 Results
Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp was $1,815 million for the second quarter of 2025, $212 million higher than the $1,603 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $106 million higher than the $1,709 million for the first quarter of 2025. Diluted earnings per common share was $1.11 in the second quarter of 2025, compared with $0.97 in the second quarter of 2024 and $1.03 in the first quarter of 2025. The second quarter of 2024 included a notable item of $19 million or ($0.01) per diluted common share, net-of-tax. Excluding the impact of the prior year quarter notable item, net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp for the second quarter of 2025 was $193 million higher than the second quarter of 2024.
The increase in net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp year-over-year was primarily due to higher total net revenue, lower noninterest expense and lower provision for credit losses. Excluding the notable item in the prior year quarter, net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp in the second quarter of 2025 increased 11.9 percent compared with the second quarter of 2024. Net interest income increased 0.7 percent on a year-over-year taxable-equivalent basis, primarily due to the impact of fixed asset repricing, loan mix, and lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower noninterest-bearing deposit balances. The net interest margin decreased to 2.66 percent in the second quarter of 2025 from 2.67 percent in the second quarter of 2024, driven by the factors described above.
Noninterest income increased 3.9 percent compared with a year ago driven by higher payment services revenue, trust and investment management fees, and other revenue, partially offset by lower mortgage banking revenue. Noninterest expense decreased 0.8 percent primarily due to lower compensation and employee benefits and other intangible expense, partially offset by higher technology and communications expense. Excluding the notable item in the prior year quarter, noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2025 decreased 0.2 percent compared with the second quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses decreased $67 million (11.8 percent) compared with the second quarter of 2024, reflecting the impact of loan portfolio sales during the second quarter of 2025 and improved credit quality.
Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp increased on a linked quarter basis primarily due to an increase in total net revenue, lower noninterest expense and lower provision for credit losses. Net interest income decreased 1.0 percent on a linked quarter taxable-equivalent basis primarily driven by competitive deposit pricing pressure and rotation into higher rate products. The net interest margin decreased to 2.66 percent in the second quarter of 2025 from 2.72 percent in the first quarter of 2025, driven by larger average assets due to the timing of loan sales in the quarter in addition to the factors mentioned above. Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2025 increased 3.1 percent from the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher payment services revenue, trust and investment management fees, and service charges, partially offset by net securities losses in the second quarter of 2025.
Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 1.2 percent from the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower compensation and employee benefits expense, and marketing and business development expense. The provision for credit losses decreased $36 million (6.7 percent) compared with the first quarter of 2025, reflecting the impact of loan portfolio sales during the second quarter of 2025 and improved credit quality, partially offset by higher commercial real estate net charge-offs.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in the second quarter of 2025 was $4,080 million, an increase of $28 million (0.7 percent) from the second quarter of 2024.

Average earning assets were $4.5 billion (0.7 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2024, reflecting increases of $5.8 billion (3.5 percent) in average investment securities due to balance sheet repositioning, $6.3 billion (1.7 percent) in total average loans and loans held for sale, and $3.8 billion (32.6 percent) in average other earning assets, partially offset by a decrease of $11.5 billion (21.7 percent) in average interest-bearing deposits with banks. Second quarter of 2025 average loans held for sale reflected the impact of a portfolio of residential mortgages transferred to held for sale and subsequently sold during the period.
Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis decreased $42 million (1.0 percent) on a linked quarter basis primarily driven by competitive deposit pricing pressure and rotation into higher rate products. Average earning assets were $3.1 billion (0.5 percent) higher on a linked quarter basis, reflecting increases of $1.7 billion (1.0 percent) in average investment securities due to balance sheet repositioning, $2.5 billion (0.7 percent) in total average loans and loans held for sale, and $1.1 billion (7.7 percent) in other earning assets, partially offset by a decrease of $2.2 billion (5.0 percent) in average interest-bearing deposits with banks. Second quarter of 2025 average loans held for sale reflected the impact of a portfolio of residential mortgages transferred to held for sale and subsequently sold during the period.
The net interest margin in the second quarter of 2025 was 2.66 percent, compared with 2.67 percent in the second quarter of 2024 and 2.72 percent in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in the net interest margin from the prior year and prior quarter was driven by the factors mentioned above.

Average total loans for the second quarter of 2025 were $3.8 billion (1.0 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher total commercial loans (7.1 percent) and credit card loans (4.4 percent), partially offset by lower total commercial real estate loans (7.3 percent), residential mortgages (0.7 percent), and total other retail loans (5.1 percent). The increase in commercial loans was primarily due to growth in loans to financial institutions. 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. The decrease in residential mortgages and other retail loans was primarily due to portfolio sales in the second quarter of 2025.
Average total loans were $499 million (0.1 percent) lower than the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower residential mortgages (2.7 percent) and total other retail loans (1.7 percent), partially offset by higher total commercial loans (2.6 percent). Linked quarter changes were primarily driven by similar factors as the year-over-year changes.

Average total deposits for the second quarter of 2025 were $11.0 billion (2.1 percent) lower than the second quarter of 2024. Average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $4.3 billion (5.2 percent) reflecting balance decreases within Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking and Consumer and Business Banking.

Second quarter noninterest income of $2,924 million was $109 million (3.9 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2024. The second quarter total fee revenue was $130 million (4.6 percent) higher than the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by higher payment services revenue, trust and investment management fees, service charges and other revenue, partially offset by lower mortgage banking revenue. Payment services revenue increased $31 million (2.9 percent) compared with the second quarter of 2024, due to increases in card revenue of $14 million (3.3 percent) mainly due to higher sales volume, and merchant processing services of $20 million (4.4 percent) due to favorable rates. Trust and investment management fees increased $54 million (8.3 percent) driven by favorable market conditions and business growth.
Service charges increased $14 million (4.3 percent) primarily due to higher treasury management fees. Other revenue increased $35 million (22.3 percent) due to higher tax credit investment activity. Mortgage banking revenue decreased $28 million (14.7 percent) primarily due to a gain on the sale of mortgage servicing rights in the prior year quarter.
Noninterest income was $88 million (3.1 percent) higher in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the first quarter of 2025. The second quarter total fee revenue was $145 million (5.1 percent) higher than linked quarter. The increase was driven by higher payment services revenue, trust and investment management fees, and service charges. Payment services revenue increased $106 million (10.6 percent) compared with the first quarter of 2025, due to increases in card revenue of $44 million (11.1 percent) due to higher sales volume and seasonality, and merchant processing services of $59 million (14.2 percent) due to seasonality and favorable rates. Trust and investment management fees increased $23 million (3.4 percent) due to favorable market conditions and business growth. Service charges increased $21 million (6.7 percent) primarily due to higher treasury management fees.

Second quarter noninterest expense of $4,181 million was $33 million (0.8 percent) lower than the second quarter of 2024. Excluding the notable item of $26 million in the second quarter of 2024, second quarter of 2025 noninterest expense decreased $7 million (0.2 percent) compared with the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was driven by lower compensation and employee benefits expense, net occupancy and equipment expense and other intangibles expense, partially offset by higher technology and communications expense, and other noninterest expense. Compensation and employee benefits expense decreased $19 million (0.7 percent) primarily due to cost savings from operational efficiencies, partially offset by merit increases. Net occupancy and equipment expense decreased $15 million (4.7 percent) due to cost savings from operational efficiencies. The increase in technology and communications expense of $25 million (4.9 percent) was due to investments in infrastructure and technology development.
Noninterest expense decreased $51 million (1.2 percent) from the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower compensation and employee benefits expense and marketing and business development expense. Compensation and employee benefits expense decreased $37 million (1.4 percent) primarily due to seasonally lower stock-based compensation and cost savings from operational efficiencies, partially offset by merit increases. Marketing and business development expense decreased $21 million (11.5 percent) primarily due to the charitable foundation contribution in the first quarter of 2025.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2025 resulted in a tax rate of 21.6 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis (effective tax rate of 20.6 percent), compared with 22.7 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis (effective tax rate of 21.6 percent) in the second quarter of 2024, and 21.6 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis (effective tax rate of 20.5 percent) in the first quarter of 2025.

U.S. Bancorp Second Quarter 2025 Results
The Company’s provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025 was $501 million, compared with $537 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $568 million in the second quarter of 2024. The second quarter of 2025 provision was $36 million (6.7 percent) lower than the first quarter of 2025 and $67 million (11.8 percent) lower than the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in provision expense on a year-over-year basis was primarily driven by the impact of loan portfolio sales during the second quarter of 2025 and improved credit quality. The decrease in provision expense on a linked quarter basis was primarily driven by the impact of loan portfolio sales during the second quarter of 2025 and improved credit quality, partially offset by higher commercial real estate net charge-offs.
The Company continues to monitor economic uncertainty related to interest rates, inflationary pressures, including those related to changing tariff policies, and other economic factors that may affect the financial strength of corporate and consumer borrowers.
Total net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2025 were $554 million, compared with $547 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $538 million in the second quarter of 2024. The net charge-off ratio was 0.59 percent in the second quarter of 2025 and in the first quarter of 2025, compared with 0.58 percent in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in net charge-offs on a year-over-year basis primarily reflected higher net charge-offs on commercial real estate loans, partially offset by lower net charge-offs on commercial loans.
The allowance for credit losses was $7,862 million at June 30, 2025, compared with $7,915 million at March 31, 2025, and $7,934 million at June 30, 2024. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses on a year-over-year basis was primarily driven by improved credit quality and portfolio mix. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses on a linked quarter basis was primarily driven by the impact of loan portfolio sales during the second quarter of 2025 and improved credit quality. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans was 2.07 percent at June 30, 2025, compared with 2.07 percent at March 31, 2025, and 2.11 percent at June 30, 2024. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 480 percent at June 30, 2025, compared with 470 percent at March 31, 2025, and 438 percent at June 30, 2024.
Nonperforming assets were $1,680 million at June 30, 2025, compared with $1,727 million at March 31, 2025, and $1,852 million at June 30, 2024. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and other real estate was 0.44 percent at June 30, 2025, compared with 0.45 percent at March 31, 2025, and 0.49 percent at June 30, 2024. The decrease in nonperforming assets on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to lower commercial and commercial real estate nonperforming loans. The decrease in nonperforming assets on a year-over year basis was primarily due to lower commercial real estate nonperforming loans, partially offset by higher commercial nonperforming loans. Accruing loans 90 days or more past due were $966 million at June 30, 2025, compared with $796 million at March 31, 2025, and $701 million at June 30, 2024.
The increase in accruing loans 90 days or more past due on a quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year basis was primarily due to higher commercial real estate delinquencies that are primarily administrative in nature and higher residential mortgage delinquencies primarily related to forbearance extended to borrowers affected by California wildfires.

U.S. Bancorp Second Quarter 2025 Results
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, reflecting the full implementation of the current expected credit losses methodology, and
•Return on tangible common equity.
These capital 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 capital measures are not defined in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), or in banking regulations or were not effective for certain periods. In addition, certain capital measures related to prior periods are presented on the same basis as those in the current period. The effective capital ratios defined by banking regulations for these periods were subject to certain transitional provisions for the implementation of accounting guidance related to impairment of financial instruments based on the current expected credit losses methodology.
As a result, these capital 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 noninterest expense, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per common share, and adjusted operating leverage exclude notable items. Management uses these measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance and believes these measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods.
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.

Business Segments
The Company’s major business segments are Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking, Consumer and Business Banking, Payment Services, and Treasury and Corporate Support. Business segment results are derived from the Company’s business unit profitability reporting systems by specifically attributing managed balance sheet assets, deposits and other liabilities and their related income or 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 2025 and 2024, certain organization and methodology changes were made, including revising the Company's business segment funds transfer-pricing methodology related to deposits and loans during the second quarter of 2024. Prior period results were recast and presented on a comparable basis.

Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking provides core banking, specialized lending, transaction and payment processing, capital markets, asset management, and brokerage and investment related services to wealth, middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate, government and institutional clients.
Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking generated $1,647 million of income before provision and taxes in the second quarter of 2025, compared with $1,677 million in the second quarter of 2024, and contributed $1,098 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses increased $83 million (83.0 percent) compared with the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to increased reserves and charge-offs on select problem assets. Total net revenue was $58 million (1.9 percent) lower in the second quarter of 2025 due to a decrease of $127 million (6.6 percent) in net interest income, partially offset by an increase of $69 million (6.1 percent) in noninterest income.
Net interest income decreased primarily due to lower noninterest-bearing deposit balances and continued rotation within the deposit portfolio. Noninterest income increased primarily due to business growth and favorable market conditions in trust and investment management fees and higher treasury management fees in service charges. Noninterest expense decreased $28 million (2.0 percent) compared with the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to lower compensation and employee benefits expense and technology and communications expense.

Payment Services includes consumer and business credit cards, stored-value cards, debit cards, corporate, government and purchasing card services and merchant processing.
Payment Services generated $818 million of income before provision and taxes in the second quarter of 2025, compared with $774 million in the second quarter of 2024, and contributed $325 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses was relatively stable, decreasing $4 million (1.0 percent) compared with the second quarter of 2024. Total net revenue increased $80 million (4.5 percent) in the second quarter of 2025 due to higher net interest income of $57 million (8.5 percent) and higher noninterest income of $23 million (2.1 percent). Net interest income increased primarily due to higher average loan balances and lower funding costs, partially offset by lower loan spreads.
Noninterest income increased primarily due to increases in card revenue mainly due to higher sales volume and merchant processing services due to favorable rates. Noninterest expense increased $36 million (3.6 percent) due to higher marketing and business development expense and other expense.

Treasury and Corporate Support includes the Company’s investment portfolios, funding, capital management, interest rate risk management, income taxes not allocated to the business segments, 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 $293 million loss before provision and taxes in the second quarter of 2025, compared with a $486 million loss before provision and taxes in the second quarter of 2024, and recorded a net loss of $67 million in the second quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses decreased $155 million compared with the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to a stable economic outlook in the second quarter of 2025 and improved credit quality. Total net revenue was higher by $192 million (67.8 percent) in the second quarter of 2025 due to an increase of $167 million (36.2 percent) in net interest income and an increase of $25 million (14.0 percent) in noninterest income.
Net interest income increased primarily due to lower funding costs as well as the impact of fixed asset repricing. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to higher tax credit investment activity, higher capital markets revenue, and the impact of other favorable items in other revenue, partially offset by lower mortgage banking revenue due to the gain on the sale of mortgage servicing rights in the prior year quarter. Noninterest expense decreased $1 million (0.5 percent) compared with the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to lower marketing and business development expense and the notable item in the prior year quarter, partially offset by higher compensation and employee benefits expense and technology and communications expense.
Income taxes are assessed to each business segment 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.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
