Fourth quarter 2022 results included:
($3.3) billion, or ($0.70) per share, of operating losses primarily related to a variety of previously disclosed historical matters, including litigation, regulatory, and customer remediation matters
($1.0) billion impairment of equity securities (($749) million, or ($0.15) per share, net of noncontrolling interests) predominantly in our affiliated venture capital business
($353) million, or ($0.07) per share, of severance expense primarily in Home Lending
$510 million, or $0.13 per share, of discrete tax benefits
Chief Executive Officer Charlie Scharf commented, “Though the quarter was significantly impacted by previously disclosed operating losses, our underlying performance reflected the progress we are making to improve returns. Rising interest rates drove strong net interest income growth, credit losses have continued to increase slowly but credit quality remained strong, and we continue to make progress on our efficiency initiatives.”

“The operating losses incurred in the fourth quarter reflect an important milestone in our work to resolve historical issues. Our broad-reaching agreement with the CFPB in December helps resolve multiple matters, the majority of which have been outstanding for several years. Over the past three years we have made significant changes to address the matters referenced in the settlement and many of the required actions were already substantially complete prior to this announcement. While our risk and regulatory work hasn’t always followed a straight line and we have more to do, we have made significant progress, and are moving forward,” Scharf added.

“We continue to invest in the future. This past year we enhanced our digital and mobile capabilities to better serve our customers and launched innovative products and solutions, including a new small dollar product – Flex Loan, two new credit cards, and a new digital banking platform for our commercial clients. We have also made significant changes that helped millions of customers avoid overdraft fees,” Scharf continued.

“Our customers have remained resilient with deposit balances, consumer spending, and credit quality still stronger than pre-pandemic levels. As we look forward, we are carefully watching the impact of higher rates on our customers and expect to see deposit balances and credit quality continue to return toward pre-pandemic levels. We continue to prioritize building an appropriate risk and control infrastructure and I am optimistic about our future as we continue to advance our efficiency initiatives, invest to better serve our customers and grow our business,” Scharf concluded.
1 Represents our Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio calculated under the Standardized Approach, which is our binding CET1 ratio. See tables on pages 27-28 of the 4Q22 Quarterly Supplement for more information on CET1. CET1 for December 31, 2022, is a preliminary estimate.
2 Return on equity (ROE) represents Wells Fargo net income applicable to common stock divided by average common stockholders’ equity.
3 Tangible common equity and return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE) are non-GAAP financial measures. For additional information, including a corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, see the “Tangible Common Equity” tables on pages 25-26 of the 4Q22 Quarterly Supplement.



Financial results reported in this document are preliminary. Final financial results and other disclosures will be reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and may differ materially from the results and disclosures in this document due to, among other things, the completion of final review procedures, the occurrence of subsequent events, or the discovery of additional information.

(b)The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
Fourth Quarter 2022 vs. Fourth Quarter 2021
Net interest income increased 45%, primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates, higher loan balances, and lower mortgage-backed securities premium amortization
Noninterest income decreased 46%, driven by lower results in our affiliated venture capital and private equity businesses; the impact of business divestitures, including net gains from sales in fourth quarter 2021; a decline in mortgage banking income on lower originations and gain on sale margins, as well as lower gains from the resecuritization of loans purchased from securitization pools; lower asset-based fees in Wealth and Investment Management on lower market valuations; and lower investment banking and deposit-related fees. These decreases were partially offset by improved results in our Markets business
Noninterest expense increased 23% driven by higher operating losses primarily related to a variety of previously disclosed historical matters, including litigation, regulatory, and customer remediation matters, and higher severance expense, partially offset by lower revenue-related compensation and the impact of efficiency initiatives
Provision for credit losses in fourth quarter 2022 included a $397 million increase in the allowance for credit losses primarily reflecting loan growth, as well as a less favorable economic environment
Income tax benefit in fourth quarter 2022 included $510 million of discrete tax benefits related to interest on overpayments in prior years

Credit Card was up 6% driven by higher loan balances, including the impact of higher point of sale volume and new product launches
Auto was down 12% driven by loan spread compression and lower loan balances
Personal Lending was up 9% on higher loan balances, partially offset by loan spread compression
Noninterest expense increased 16% reflecting higher operating losses, severance expense, and operating costs, partially offset by lower revenue-related compensation in Home Lending due to lower production, and the impact of efficiency initiatives

In particular, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about: (i) the future operating or financial performance of the Company, including our outlook for future growth; (ii) our noninterest expense and efficiency ratio; (iii) future credit quality and performance, including our expectations regarding future loan losses, our allowance for credit losses, and the economic scenarios considered to develop the allowance; (iv) our expectations regarding net interest income and net interest margin; (v) loan growth or the reduction or mitigation of risk in our loan portfolios; (vi) future capital or liquidity levels, ratios or targets; (vii) the performance of our mortgage business and any related exposures; (viii) the expected outcome and impact of legal, regulatory and legislative developments, as well as our expectations regarding compliance therewith; (ix) future common stock dividends, common share repurchases and other uses of capital; (x) our targeted range for return on assets, return on equity, and return on tangible common equity; (xi) expectations regarding our effective income tax rate; (xii) the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings; (xiii) environmental, social and governance related goals or commitments; and (xiv) the Company’s plans, objectives and strategies.
Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation: 
current and future economic and market conditions, including the effects of declines in housing prices, high unemployment rates, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters, geopolitical matters (including the conflict in Ukraine), and any slowdown in global economic growth;
the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, including on our credit quality and business operations, as well as its impact on general economic and financial market conditions;
our capital and liquidity requirements (including under regulatory capital standards, such as the Basel III capital standards) and our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms;
current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses, including rules and regulations relating to bank products and financial services;
developments in our mortgage banking business, including the extent of the success of our mortgage loan modification efforts, the amount of mortgage loan repurchase demands that we receive, any negative effects relating to our mortgage servicing, loan modification or foreclosure practices, and the effects of regulatory or judicial requirements or guidance impacting our mortgage banking business and any changes in industry standards;
our ability to realize any efficiency ratio or expense target as part of our expense management initiatives, including as a result of business and economic cyclicality, seasonality, changes in our business composition and operating environment, growth in our businesses and/or acquisitions, and unexpected expenses relating to, among other things, litigation and regulatory matters;
the effect of the current interest rate environment or changes in interest rates or in the level or composition of our assets or liabilities on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgage loans held for sale;
significant turbulence or a disruption in the capital or financial markets, which could result in, among other things, reduced investor demand for mortgage loans, a reduction in the availability of funding or increased funding costs, and declines in asset values and/or recognition of impairments of securities held in our debt securities and equity securities portfolios;
the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our investment banking business and our fee income from our brokerage and wealth management businesses;
negative effects from the retail banking sales practices matter and from instances where customers may have experienced financial harm, including on our legal, operational and compliance costs, our ability to engage in certain business activities or offer certain products or services, our ability to keep and attract customers, our ability to attract and retain qualified employees, and our reputation;

resolution of regulatory matters, litigation, or other legal actions, which may result in, among other things, additional costs, fines, penalties, restrictions on our business activities, reputational harm, or other adverse consequences;

the effect of changes in the level of checking or savings account deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;
fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board;
changes to U.S. tax guidance and regulations, as well as the effect of discrete items on our effective income tax rate;
our ability to develop and execute effective business plans and strategies; and
the other risk factors and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the amount and timing of any future common stock dividends or repurchases will depend on the earnings, cash requirements and financial condition of the Company, market conditions, capital requirements (including under Basel capital standards), common stock issuance requirements, applicable law and regulations (including federal securities laws and federal banking regulations), and other factors deemed relevant by the Company’s Board of Directors, and may be subject to regulatory approval or conditions.
For additional information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, refer to our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the discussion under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on its website at www.sec.gov4.
Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Forward-looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures. From time to time management may discuss forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as forward-looking estimates or targets for return on average tangible common equity. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. Such unavailable information could be significant to future results.
