CEO Commentary

“Despite a challenging interest rate environment, we posted record revenue, net income and earnings per share in the third quarter, delivered industry leading returns on assets and equity, and grew our book value by over 10% from a year earlier. During the quarter we returned 80% of our earnings to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. Third quarter loan and deposit growth were solid and momentum in our core fee businesses was supported by strong sales and volume growth. Mortgage revenue was particularly robust this quarter, reflecting both market conditions and the benefits of the investments we have made in our retail platform over the past several years. As we head into the final quarter of 2019, we feel good about our opportunity to gain market share across our franchise and our ability to prudently manage our operating expenses even as we invest in our digital capabilities and key business initiatives. I’d like to thank our employees for their hard work and dedication to delivering value to each of our constituents.”

— Andy Cecere, Chairman, President and CEO, U.S. Bancorp

Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp was $1,908 million for the third quarter of 2019, which was 5.1 percent higher than the third quarter of 2018, and 4.8 percent higher than the second quarter of 2019. Diluted earnings per common share were $1.15 in the third quarter of 2019, compared with $1.06 in the third quarter of 2018 and $1.09 in the second quarter of 2019.

The increase in net income year-over-year was driven by total net revenue growth of 3.9 percent partially offset by noninterest expense growth of 3.3 percent. Net interest income increased 0.9 percent (0.8 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis), mainly a result of loan growth and higher yields on reinvestment of securities, partially offset by the yield curve and deposit and funding mix. Noninterest income increased 8.1 percent compared with a year ago, driven by growth in payment services revenue, commercial products revenue, mortgage banking revenue and other noninterest income, partially offset by a decline in deposit service charges. Noninterest expense increased 3.3 percent primarily due to higher personnel expense, in part due to higher fee revenue production in mortgage and capital market activities, and higher technology investment costs in support of business growth. Partially offsetting these increases was lower other noninterest expense driven by lower FDIC assessment costs.

Net income increased on a linked quarter basis primarily due to an increase in total net revenue of 1.7 percent and a decrease in noninterest expense of 0.3 percent. The increase in total net revenue reflected higher noninterest income of 5.0 percent, partially offset by lower net interest income of 0.7 percent (0.8 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis) primarily due to the adverse impact of the yield curve and lower interest recoveries, partially offset by loan growth and an additional day in the third quarter. Noninterest income increased compared with the second quarter of 2019 driven by higher payment services revenue, mortgage banking revenue and other noninterest income. Noninterest expense decreased 0.3 percent on a linked quarter basis primarily driven by lower other noninterest expense, partially offset by higher personnel expense.

(a) Excludes unrealized gain (loss)

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in the third quarter of 2019 was $3,306 million, an increase of $25 million (0.8 percent) over the third quarter of 2018. The increase was principally driven by earning assets growth and higher yields on securities, partially offset by declining rates and flatter yield curve as well as deposit and funding mix. Average earning assets were $20.5 billion (4.9 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2018, reflecting increases of $11.4 billion (4.0 percent) in average total loans, $3.7 billion (3.2 percent) in average investment securities and $4.1 billion (23.4 percent) in average other earning assets. Excluding the impact of the fourth quarter of 2018 sale of the majority of the Company’s FDIC covered loans, average total loans grew 4.7 percent compared with the third quarter of 2018.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis decreased $26 million (0.8 percent) on a linked quarter basis primarily driven by the impact of declining rates, flatter yield curve and lower interest recoveries, partially offset by earning assets growth and an additional day in the third quarter. Average earning assets were $8.7 billion (2.0 percent) higher on a linked quarter basis, reflecting increases of $3.2 billion (1.1 percent) in average total loans, $1.8 billion (1.5 percent) in average investment securities and $2.5 billion (12.9 percent) in average other earning assets.

The net interest margin in the third quarter of 2019 was 3.02 percent, compared with 3.15 percent in the third quarter of 2018 and 3.13 percent in the second quarter of 2019. Net interest margin decreased year-over-year primarily due to the impacts of the yield curve as well as deposit and funding mix and higher cash balances. The decrease in net interest margin on a linked quarter basis was primarily due to changes in the yield curve during the quarter and higher cash balances, in part, related to a change in policy on affiliate balances by the regulator of the Company’s Irish subsidiary.

Average investment securities in the third quarter of 2019 increased $3.7 billion (3.2 percent) over the third quarter of 2018 and $1.8 billion (1.5 percent) over the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to purchases of mortgage-backed securities, net of prepayments and maturities.

(a)  During the fourth quarter of 2018, the majority of the Company’s covered loans were sold or the loss share coverage expired, with any remaining loan balances reclassified to be included in their respective portfolio category.

Average total loans were $11.4 billion (4.0 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of the fourth quarter of 2018 sale of the majority of the Company’s FDIC covered loans, average total loans grew 4.7 percent over the prior year quarter. The increase was due to growth in residential mortgages (10.6 percent), total commercial loans (4.7 percent), credit card loans (8.8 percent), and total other retail loans (2.9 percent). These increases were partially offset by decreases in total commercial real estate loans (1.4 percent) given the later stage of the business cycle and the sale of covered loans in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Average total loans were $3.2 billion (1.1 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2019 primarily driven by growth in residential mortgages (2.7 percent) and credit card loans (3.7 percent).

Average total deposits for the third quarter of 2019 were $19.8 billion (6.0 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2018. Average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $2.6 billion (3.4 percent) year-over-year primarily due to the migration of balances to interest-bearing deposits and the continued deployment by customers of business deposits within Corporate and Commercial Banking given higher earning credit rates from a year ago. Average total savings deposits were $18.0 billion (8.4 percent) higher year-over-year driven by Wealth Management and Investment Services, Corporate and Commercial Banking and Consumer and Business Banking. Average time deposits were $4.4 billion (11.7 percent) higher than the prior year quarter. Changes in time deposits are largely related to those deposits managed as an alternative to other funding sources, based largely on relative pricing and liquidity characteristics. In addition, there was growth in consumer time deposits related to the migration of balances to higher yielding products.

Average total deposits increased $4.7 billion (1.4 percent) from the second quarter of 2019. On a linked quarter basis, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1.5 billion (2.0 percent). Average total savings deposits increased $7.8 billion (3.5 percent) on a linked quarter basis primarily due to increases in Wealth Management and Investment Services and Corporate and Commercial Banking. Average time deposits, which are managed based on funding needs, relative pricing and liquidity characteristics, decreased $4.6 billion (9.7 percent) on a linked quarter basis.

Third quarter noninterest income of $2,614 million was $196 million (8.1 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2018 driven by growth in payment services revenue, commercial products revenue, mortgage banking revenue and other noninterest income, partially offset by a decline in deposit service charges. Payment services revenue increased $48 million (5.3 percent) due to $22 million (6.4 percent) higher credit and debit card revenue primarily driven by core business growth and processing days, as well as an increase in corporate payment products revenue of $8 million (4.7 percent), and higher merchant processing services revenue of $18 million (4.6%), both driven by higher sales volumes. Commercial products revenue increased $24 million (11.1 percent) primarily due to higher corporate bond fees and trading revenue related to stronger capital markets activities. Mortgage banking revenue increased $98 million (56.3 percent) reflecting higher origination and sales volumes related to home sales and refinancing activities given changing interest rates relative to a year ago. Other noninterest income also increased year-over-year primarily due to higher equity investment income and transition services agreement revenue associated with the sale of the Company’s ATM third-party servicing business in 2018. These increases were partially offset by lower deposit service charges which decreased $49 million (17.3 percent) primarily due to the ATM third-party servicing sale in 2018.

Noninterest income was $124 million (5.0 percent) higher in the third quarter of 2019 compared with the second quarter of 2019 driven by higher payment services revenue, mortgage banking revenue and other noninterest income. Payment services revenue increased $17 million (1.8 percent) as corporate payment products revenue grew $10 million (6.0 percent) driven by seasonally higher sales volumes and merchant processing services revenue increased $6 million (1.5 percent) primarily due to seasonally higher fee revenue. Mortgage banking revenue increased $83 million (43.9 percent) reflecting higher origination and sales volumes. Other noninterest income increased $27 million (10.5 percent) on a linked quarter basis primarily due to higher equity investment income.

Third quarter noninterest expense of $3,144 million was $100 million (3.3 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher personnel costs, professional services expense, and technology investment, partially offset by lower other noninterest expense. Compensation expense increased $66 million (4.3 percent), from a year ago, principally due to the impact of merit increases and higher variable compensation related to business production within mortgage banking and the capital markets business lines. Employee benefits expense increased $30 million (10.2 percent) primarily due to increased medical costs. Professional services expense increased $18 million (18.8 percent) primarily due to business investments and enhancements to risk management programs. Technology and communications expense increased $30 million (12.1 percent) primarily driven by capital expenditures to support business growth. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in other noninterest expense of $47 million (12.5 percent) due to lower FDIC assessment costs, driven by the elimination of the surcharge in the fourth quarter of 2018, and lower costs related to tax-advantaged projects.

Noninterest expense decreased $9 million (0.3 percent) on a linked quarter basis. Compensation expense increased $21 million (1.3 percent) primarily due to an additional business day in the third quarter and variable compensation related to business production. Employee benefits expense increased $10 million (3.2 percent) primarily due to increased medical costs. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in other noninterest expense of $52 million (13.6 percent) primarily due to lower costs related to tax-advantaged projects and a seasonal decrease in merchant related charge-back liabilities.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2019 resulted in a tax rate of 20.4 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis (effective tax rate of 19.6 percent), compared with 21.2 percent (effective tax rate of 20.2 percent) in the third quarter of 2018, and 20.7 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis (effective tax rate of 19.7 percent) in the second quarter of 2019.

U.S. Bancorp Third Quarter 2019 Results

Credit quality was relatively stable on a linked quarter and year-over-year basis. The Company’s provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2019 was $367 million, which was $2 million (0.5 percent) higher than the prior quarter and $24 million (7.0 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2018, primarily reflecting loan growth.

Total net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2019 were $352 million, compared with $350 million in the second quarter of 2019, and $328 million in the third quarter of 2018. Net charge-offs increased $2 million (0.6 percent) compared with the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to higher total commercial and total commercial real estate net charge-offs, mostly offset by lower credit card and residential mortgage net charge-offs. Net charge-offs increased $24 million (7.3 percent) compared with the third quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher total commercial and total commercial real estate net charge-offs in addition to higher credit card net charge-offs, partially offset by lower residential mortgage net charge-offs. The net charge-off ratio was 0.48 percent in the third quarter of 2019, compared with 0.49 percent in the second quarter of 2019 and 0.46 percent in the third quarter of 2018.

The allowance for credit losses was $4,481 million at September 30, 2019, compared with $4,466 million at June 30, 2019, and $4,426 million at September 30, 2018. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans was 1.52 percent at September 30, 2019, compared with 1.53 percent at June 30, 2019, and 1.57 percent at September 30, 2018. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 541 percent at September 30, 2019, compared with 556 percent at June 30, 2019, and 544 percent at September 30, 2018.

Nonperforming assets were $979 million at September 30, 2019, compared with $953 million at June 30, 2019, and $1,004 million at September 30, 2018. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and other real estate was 0.33 percent at September 30, 2019, compared with 0.33 percent at June 30, 2019, and 0.36 percent at September 30, 2018. The increase in nonperforming assets on a linked quarter basis was driven by increases in nonperforming total commercial loans, partially offset by lower nonperforming residential mortgages. The decrease in nonperforming assets on a year-over-year basis was driven by decreases in nonperforming residential mortgages, total commercial real estate, and other real estate owned, partially offset by an increase in nonperforming total commercial loans. Accruing loans 90 days or more past due were $600 million at September 30, 2019, compared with $752 million at June 30, 2019, and $551 million at September 30, 2018. The June 30, 2019, commercial loan 90 days past due delinquencies were elevated related to one customer that was resolved in the third quarter without a credit loss.

  Forward-looking Statements

The following information appears in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

This press release 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, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. 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. 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, 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; 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; changes in the level of tariffs and other trade policies of the United States and its global trading partners; changes in customer behavior and preferences; breaches in data security; 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 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, 2018, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled “Corporate Risk Profile” and “Risk Factors” 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.

  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

• 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 relative to other financial services companies. These capital measures are not defined in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), or are not defined in banking regulations. 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 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, including the efficiency ratio and net interest margin utilize net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis.

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 Corporate and Commercial Banking, Consumer and Business Banking, Wealth Management and Investment 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. Income taxes are assessed to each line of business 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. 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 2019, certain organization and methodology changes were made and, accordingly, prior period results were restated and presented on a comparable basis.

(a) preliminary data

Corporate and Commercial Banking offers lending, equipment finance and small-ticket leasing, depository services, treasury management, capital markets services, international trade services and other financial services to middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate, financial institution, non-profit and public sector clients.

Corporate and Commercial Banking contributed $365 million of the Company’s net income in the third quarter of 2019, compared with $391 million in the third quarter of 2018. Total net revenue decreased $19 million (2.0 percent) due to a decrease of $32 million (4.3 percent) in net interest income, partially offset by an increase of $13 million (6.5 percent) in total noninterest income. Net interest income decreased primarily due to lower noninterest bearing deposit balances compared with last year and lower spreads on loans, reflecting a competitive marketplace, partially offset by the impact of higher rates on the margin benefit from deposits and loan growth. Noninterest bearing deposits are declining as customers deploy balances to support business growth. Total noninterest income increased year-over-year primarily due to higher trading revenue and corporate bond underwriting fees. Total noninterest expense was $11 million (2.9 percent) higher compared with a year ago primarily due to an increase in net shared services expense driven by technology development and investment in infrastructure, higher salary expense driven by merit increases, and an increase in production incentives within capital markets. These increases were partially offset by lower FDIC assessment costs. The provision for credit losses increased $5 million (14.3 percent) reflecting an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation and slightly higher net charge-offs.

Consumer and Business Banking contributed $640 million of the Company’s net income in the third quarter of 2019, compared with $580 million in the third quarter of 2018. Total net revenue increased $111 million (5.2 percent) due to a $26 million (1.7 percent) increase in net interest income and an $85 million (14.6 percent) increase in total noninterest income. Net interest income increased primarily due to the impact of higher rates on the margin benefit from deposits as well as growth in both interest-bearing deposit balances and loan volumes, partially offset by lower spreads on loans. Total noninterest income increased primarily due to higher mortgage banking revenue driven by higher origination and sales volumes, as well as transition services agreement revenue associated with the sale of the Company’s ATM third-party servicing business in 2018, partially offset by the reduction in ATM processing services revenue due to the sale. Total noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2019 increased $17 million (1.3 percent) primarily due to higher net shared services expense, reflecting the impact of technology development and investment in infrastructure supporting business growth as well as costs to manage the business, and higher production incentives in support of business growth. Partially offsetting these increases were lower FDIC assessment costs and lower mortgage banking costs. The provision for credit losses increased $15 million (27.8 percent) primarily due to an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation and higher net charge-offs.

(a) preliminary data

Wealth Management and Investment Services provides private banking, financial advisory services, investment management, retail brokerage services, insurance, trust, custody and fund servicing through four businesses: Wealth Management, Global Corporate Trust & Custody, U.S. Bancorp Asset Management and Fund Services.

Wealth Management and Investment Services contributed $234 million of the Company’s net income in the third quarter of 2019, compared with $223 million in the third quarter of 2018. Total net revenue increased $18 million (2.5 percent) year-over-year due to increases in net interest income of $10 million (3.5 percent) and noninterest income of $8 million (1.8 percent). Net interest income increased year-over-year primarily due to the impact of higher deposit balances. Total noninterest income increased primarily due to favorable market conditions and business growth. Total noninterest expense was flat to the third quarter of 2018 reflecting lower costs related to FDIC assessment and litigation settlements, partially offset by increased net shared services expense due to technology development and higher compensation expense, reflecting the impact of merit increases, increased staffing, and an increase in medical costs. The provision for credit losses increased $4 million reflecting an unfavorable change in the reserve allocation.

(a) preliminary data

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 $416 million of the Company’s net income in the third quarter of 2019, compared with $392 million in the third quarter of 2018. Total net revenue increased $62 million (4.1 percent) due to increases of $15 million (2.4 percent) in net interest income and $47 million (5.2 percent) in total noninterest income. Net interest income increased primarily due to growth in loans as well as loan fees, offset by compression on loan rates. Total noninterest income increased year-over-year mainly due to higher credit and debit card revenue primarily driven by processing days, as well as merchant processing services and corporate payment products revenue, both driven by higher sales volumes. Total noninterest expense increased $34 million (4.6 percent) over the third quarter of 2018 principally due to higher net shared services expense to support business growth, technology development and investment in infrastructure, in addition to an increase in personnel expense in support of business development and merit increases. The provision for credit losses decreased $4 million (1.5 percent) reflecting a favorable change in the reserve allocation, partially offset by higher net charge-offs.

(a) preliminary data

Treasury and Corporate Support includes the Company’s investment portfolios, funding, capital management, interest rate risk management, income taxes not allocated to the 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 $253 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared with $229 million in the third quarter of 2018. Total net revenue increased $49 million (13.5 percent) year-over-year driven by increases in net interest income of $6 million (7.2 percent) and $43 million (15.3 percent) in total noninterest income. Net interest income increased year-over-year primarily due to growth in the investment portfolio. Total noninterest income increased year-over-year primarily reflecting higher income from equity investments and gain on the sale of securities. Total noninterest expense increased $38 million (21.6 percent) year-over-year due to higher compensation expense, reflecting the impact of increased staffing and merit increases, and higher implementation costs of capital investments to support business growth. These increases were partially offset by lower net shared services expense and lower costs related to tax-advantaged projects. The provision for credit losses increased $4 million (57.1 percent) reflecting higher net charge-offs.

U.S. Bancorp 3Q19 Earnings Conference Call October 16, 2019 Exhibit 99.2

Forward-looking Statements and Additional Information The following information appears in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Today’s 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, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. 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. 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, 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; 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; changes in the level of tariffs and other trade policies of the United States and its global trading partners; changes in customer behavior and preferences; breaches in data security; 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 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, 2018, 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.

Average Loans +1.1% linked quarter +4.0% year-over-year On a linked quarter basis, average total loan growth was driven by growth in residential mortgages and credit card loans. On a year-over-year basis, growth in average total loans was primarily driven by growth in residential mortgages, total commercial loans, credit card loans and total other retail loans. Year-over-year average total loan growth was partially offset by a decrease in total commercial real estate loans given the later stage of the business cycle. $ in billions

Average Deposits $ in billions +1.4% linked quarter +6.0% year-over-year Interest-bearing Deposits Average noninterest-bearing (NIB) deposits increased on a linked quarter basis. Average total savings deposits (which include money market, interest checking and savings accounts) grew on both a linked quarter and year-over-year basis, reflecting growth across all business lines. Average time deposits, which are managed based on funding needs, relative pricing and liquidity characteristics, declined on a linked quarter basis. Year-over-year growth, in part, reflects consumer deposit migration as customers seek higher yields. Year-over-year, average NIB deposits declined due to balance migration to interest-bearing deposits as well as customers’ continued deployment of business deposits.

Earnings Summary

Net Interest Income Linked Quarter Net interest income decreased, primarily driven by the impact of declining rates, the flatter yield curve and lower interest recoveries, partially offset by growth in earning assets and an additional day in the third quarter. The net interest margin declined, primarily due to changes in the yield curve during the quarter as well as higher cash balances. Year-over-Year Net interest income growth was primarily driven by growth in earning assets and higher yields on reinvested securities, partially offset by declining rates and a flatter yield curve, as well as deposit and funding mix. The net interest margin declined, primarily due to the impacts of the yield curve, deposit and funding mix, and higher cash balances. $ in millions Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis; see slide 25 for calculation -0.8% linked quarter +0.8% year-over-year
