Management Commentary

Gunjan Kedia, Chairman and CEO, U.S. Bancorp

“We delivered strong third quarter results. Record net revenue of $8.0 billion drove diluted earnings per share of $1.34, up 10% year-over-year, a return on tangible common equity of 18.5%, and an efficiency ratio of 55.9%. The net charge-off ratio improved to 51 basis points. Our exceptional business mix and increasingly strong operating discipline helped us deliver high returns, productivity, and prudent risk management while strengthening revenue growth. We reported a full quarter of BTIG results, which drove an increase of 69.3% year-over-year in capital markets revenue. Our Payments transformation gained momentum and delivered combined revenue growth of 6.5% year-over-year. We were pleased to report another quarter of record consumer deposits and launch major initiatives to expand our reach in the small business segment as we onboarded a strategic small business credit card relationship, launched Business Essentials, an innovative suite of new products, and established new banker teams in expansion markets. These results reflect strong execution against our strategic priorities and better interconnectivity across our organization. We remain focused on bringing innovative solutions to our clients, investing in our business, creating a culture of high-performance and delivering exceptional long-term value for our shareholders. On behalf of all of us at U.S. Bank, I want to thank our clients and shareholders for their continued trust and partnership.”
