Capital
◦Repurchased 51.7 million shares, or $2.4 billion, of common stock in fourth quarter 2023
Fourth quarter 2023 results included:
◦$(1.9) billion, or ($0.40) per share, of expense from an FDIC special assessment
◦$(969) million, or ($0.20) per share, of severance expense for planned actions
◦$621 million or $0.17 per share, of discrete tax benefits related to the resolution of prior period tax matters
Chief Executive Officer Charlie Scharf commented, “Although our improved 2023 results benefited from the strong economic environment and higher interest rates, our continued focus on efficiency and strong credit discipline were important contributors as well.”
“We continue to execute on our strategic priorities and while it is early and we have more to do, we are starting to see improved growth and increased market share in parts of the company which we believe will drive higher returns over time. For example, our new credit card products have driven an increase in consumer spend at a rate significantly better than the industry average. We have also been investing in the Corporate and Investment Bank where revenue grew 26% from a year ago and our investment banking and trading market shares increased. The positive results in both areas were accomplished while maintaining our existing risk appetite,” Scharf continued.
“Additionally, continued execution of our more focused home lending strategy should also produce higher returns and earnings over the next several years. And while our Consumer, Small and Business Banking, Commercial Banking, and Wealth and Investment Management businesses remain strong, opportunities to increase share are significant,” Scharf added.
“As we look forward, our business performance remains sensitive to interest rates and the health of the U.S. economy, but we are confident that the actions we are taking will drive stronger returns over the cycle. We are closely monitoring credit and while we see modest deterioration, it remains consistent with our expectations. Our capital position remains strong and returning excess capital to shareholders remains a priority,” Scharf continued.
“I want to thank everyone who works at Wells Fargo for their dedication, talent, and all they do to move our company forward.” Scharf concluded.
1 Includes provision for credit losses for loans, debt securities, and other financial assets.
2 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 4Q23 Quarterly Supplement for more information on CET1. CET1 for December 31, 2023, is a preliminary estimate.
3 Return on equity (ROE) represents Wells Fargo net income applicable to common stock divided by average common stockholders’ equity.
4 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 4Q23 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, 2023, 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.

Fourth Quarter 2023 vs. Fourth Quarter 2022
◦Net interest income decreased 5%, due to lower deposit and loan balances, partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates
◦Noninterest income increased 17%, driven by improved results in our affiliated venture capital business on lower impairments, higher trading revenue in our Markets business, higher investment banking fees, and an increase in asset-based fees in Wealth and Investment Management on higher market valuations, partially offset by lower revenue in our legacy reinsurance business due to a gain in fourth quarter 2022 resulting from the adoption of a new accounting standard
◦Noninterest expense decreased 2%, driven by lower operating losses, lower professional and outside services expense, and the impact of efficiency initiatives, partially offset by higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) assessments, severance expense, technology and equipment expense, and revenue-related compensation
◦Provision for credit losses in fourth quarter 2023 included an increase in the allowance for credit losses driven by credit card and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by a lower allowance for auto loans. The change in allowance for credit losses also included higher net loan charge-offs for commercial real estate office and credit card loans
◦Income tax expense in fourth quarter 2023 included $621 million of discrete tax benefits related to the resolution of prior period tax matters

Corporate includes corporate treasury and enterprise functions, net of allocations (including funds transfer pricing, capital, liquidity and certain expenses), in support of the reportable operating segments, as well as our investment portfolio and venture capital and private equity investments. Corporate also includes certain lines of business that management has determined are no longer consistent with the long-term strategic goals of the Company as well as results for previously divested businesses. In third quarter 2023, we sold investments in certain private equity funds, which had a minimal impact to net income.

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:

•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;

•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, 2022.
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, the impact to our balance sheet of expected customer activity, our capital requirements and long-term targeted capital structure, the results of supervisory stress tests, market conditions (including the trading price of our stock), regulatory and legal considerations, including regulatory requirements under the Federal Reserve Board’s capital plan rule, and other factors deemed relevant by the Company, 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, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on its website at www.sec.gov5.
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.
