(a) Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets (including goodwill and intangible assets associated with certain of our nonmarketable equity investments but excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of applicable deferred taxes. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that return on average tangible common equity, which utilizes tangible common equity, is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company's use of equity. For additional information, including a corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, see the "Tangible Common Equity" tables on page 35.

(b) The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).

 

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) reported net income of $4.6 billion, or $0.84 per diluted common share, for third quarter 2017, compared with $5.6 billion, or $1.03 per share, for third quarter 2016, and $5.8 billion, or $1.07 per share, for second quarter 2017.

Chief Executive Officer Tim Sloan said, “Over the past year we have made fundamental changes to transform Wells Fargo as part of our effort to rebuild trust and build a better bank. While our financial performance in the third quarter included the impact of a litigation accrual for previously disclosed, pre-crisis mortgage-related regulatory investigations, I am proud of the commitment of our 268,000 team members who put our customers first. We saw total average deposit growth; loan growth in our residential mortgage, credit card and subscription finance portfolios; as well as higher assets under management in Wealth and Investment Management. We also continued to invest in customer-focused innovation and have begun the rollout of our online mortgage application and “Intuitive Investor,” our online platform for digital investing and professional advice. We’re also committed to helping our communities recover from the devastation of the recent hurricanes by providing payment relief and proactively waiving fees for impacted customers, and our foundation donated $2.6 million for hurricane relief efforts.”

Chief Financial Officer John Shrewsberry said, “Wells Fargo reported $4.6 billion of net income in the third quarter, which included the impact of the $1 billion, or $(0.20) per share, discrete litigation accrual. We continued to see good credit performance and our liquidity and capital remained exceptionally strong. During the quarter, our first under our 2017 Capital Plan, we returned $4.0 billion to shareholders through common stock dividends and net share repurchases, up from $3.4 billion in the second quarter. We remain committed to our target of $2 billion of expense reductions by the end of 2018 which will be reinvested in the business and an additional $2 billion by the end of 2019 intended to go to the bottom line.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income in third quarter 2017 was $12.5 billion, in line with second quarter 2017, as the impacts of lower investment portfolio yields driven by accelerated prepayments and lower average loan balances were offset by the impact of one additional day and a modest benefit from all other growth and repricing.

Net interest margin was 2.87 percent, down 3 basis points from second quarter 2017. The impacts of lower investment portfolio yields driven by accelerated prepayments, lower average loan balances, growth in average deposits, and growth in trading assets and related funding were partially offset by lower average long-term debt and a modest benefit from all other growth and repricing.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income in the third quarter was $9.5 billion, compared with $9.7 billion in second quarter 2017. Third quarter noninterest income reflected lower mortgage banking and other income, partially offset by higher market sensitive revenue3.

  • Mortgage banking noninterest income was $1.0 billion, compared with $1.1 billion in second quarter 2017. Residential mortgage loan originations were $59 billion in the third quarter, up from $56 billion in the second quarter. The production margin on residential held-for-sale mortgage loan originations4 was 1.24 percent, consistent with the second quarter. Mortgage servicing income was $309 million in the third quarter, down from $400 million in the second quarter, primarily due to higher unreimbursed servicing costs.
  • Other income was $97 million, compared with $249 million in the second quarter. Second quarter 2017 included a $309 million gain on the sale of a Pick-a-Pay purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loan portfolio. Third quarter 2017 included a net hedge ineffectiveness gain of $93 million, up from $21 million in the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense in the third quarter was $14.4 billion, compared with $13.5 billion in the prior quarter. Third quarter expenses included operating losses of $1.3 billion, which included the $1 billion litigation accrual for previously disclosed mortgage-related regulatory investigations. This increase in noninterest expense was partially offset by lower charitable donations, outside professional services, employee benefits, and travel and entertainment expenses. The efficiency ratio was 65.5 percent in third quarter 2017, which included a 456 basis point impact from the $1 billion litigation accrual.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 32.4 percent for third quarter 2017, and included net discrete tax expense totaling $186 million, primarily resulting from the non-deductible treatment of the $1 billion litigation accrual, partially offset by discrete tax benefits arising from favorable resolutions of prior period matters with certain state tax authorities.

Loans

Total average loans were $952.3 billion in the third quarter, down $4.5 billion from the second quarter. Period-end loan balances were $951.9 billion at September 30, 2017, down $5.6 billion from June 30, 2017. Consumer loans increased $201 million from the prior quarter as growth in real estate 1-4 family first mortgage loans and consumer credit card loans was largely offset by expected declines in automobile loans and the legacy junior lien mortgage portfolio. Commercial loans were down $5.8 billion from June 30, 2017 reflecting paydowns and continued underwriting discipline.

Investment Securities

Investment securities were $414.6 billion at September 30, 2017, up $5.0 billion from the second quarter, as approximately $31.2 billion of purchases, mostly federal agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in the available-for-sale portfolio, were partially offset by run-off and sales.

Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities were $1.8 billion at September 30, 2017, compared with $1.1 billion at June 30, 2017, primarily due to tighter credit and agency MBS spreads during the quarter.

Deposits

Total average deposits for third quarter 2017 were $1.3 trillion, up $5.2 billion from the prior quarter. The average deposit cost for third quarter 2017 was 26 basis points, up 5 basis points from the prior quarter and 15 basis points from a year ago, primarily driven by an increase in commercial and Wealth and Investment Management deposit rates.

Capital

Capital levels remained strong in the third quarter, with a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (fully phased-in) of 11.8 percent2, compared with 11.6 percent in the prior quarter. In third quarter 2017, the Company repurchased 49.0 million shares of its common stock, which reduced period-end common shares outstanding by 38.9 million. The Company paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.39 per share, up from $0.38 per share a year ago.

Credit Quality

“Credit results remained strong in the third quarter," said Chief Risk Officer Mike Loughlin. “The loan portfolio continued to perform well, led by strong performance in consumer real estate and continued solid performance in the commercial portfolio. Separately, while it is still early in the process, we have reviewed our portfolio for potential losses from recent hurricanes and have reflected that initial estimate in our allowance. After accounting for all these factors, the allowance for credit losses in the third quarter remained relatively unchanged from the second quarter.”

Net Loan Charge-offs

The quarterly loss rate was 0.30 percent (annualized), compared with 0.27 percent in the prior quarter. Commercial and consumer losses were 0.09 percent and 0.53 percent, respectively. Credit losses were $717 million in third quarter 2017, up $62 million from second quarter 2017. Commercial losses were up $38 million on higher losses in the commercial and industrial portfolio. Consumer losses increased $24 million as higher automobile losses from typically low second quarter levels more than offset lower credit card losses.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets decreased $512 million from second quarter 2017 to $9.3 billion. Nonaccrual loans decreased $437 million from second quarter 2017 to $8.6 billion primarily driven by declines in commercial and industrial nonaccruals, as well as continued lower consumer real estate nonaccruals.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses, including the allowance for unfunded commitments, totaled $12.1 billion at September 30, 2017, in line with June 30, 2017. The third quarter 2017 allowance for credit losses reflected strong credit performance due to continued improvement in consumer real estate as well as strength in the commercial loan portfolio, including improvement in the oil and gas portfolio. These factors were offset by $450 million for coverage of our preliminary estimate of potential hurricane-related losses. The allowance coverage for total loans of 1.27 percent was stable from second quarter 2017. The allowance covered 4.3 times annualized third quarter net charge-offs, compared with 4.6 times in the prior quarter. The allowance coverage for nonaccrual loans was 141 percent at September 30, 2017, compared with 134 percent at June 30, 2017. The Company believes the allowance was appropriate for losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2017.

Community Banking reported net income of $2.2 billion, down $764 million, or 26 percent, from second quarter 2017, and included the $1 billion litigation accrual (not tax-deductible) for previously disclosed mortgage-related regulatory investigations. Revenue of $12.1 billion decreased $229 million, or 2 percent, from second quarter 2017, primarily due to a gain on the sale of a Pick-a-Pay PCI loan portfolio in the prior quarter. The decline in revenue from the second quarter was also driven by lower mortgage banking revenue, partially offset by higher net interest income and the favorable accounting impact of net hedge ineffectiveness. Noninterest expense increased $611 million, or 8 percent, compared with second quarter 2017, due to higher operating losses and personnel expense, partially offset by lower charitable donations, lower professional services expense and the favorable impact of updated intra-segment allocations to Wholesale Banking and Wealth and Investment Management for regulatory, risk, cyber and technology expenses. The provision for credit losses increased $27 million from the prior quarter.

Net income was down $1.0 billion, or 31 percent, from third quarter 2016, and included the $1 billion litigation accrual (not tax-deductible) for previously disclosed mortgage-related regulatory investigations. Revenue decreased $327 million, or 3 percent, compared with a year ago due to lower mortgage banking revenue and deposit service charges, partially offset by higher net interest income and market sensitive revenue. Noninterest expense increased $881 million, or 13 percent, from a year ago due to higher operating losses, higher professional services expense and the favorable impact of updated intra-segment allocations to Wholesale Banking and Wealth and Investment Management for regulatory, risk, cyber and technology expenses.

  • WIM total client assets reached a record-high of $1.9 trillion, up 8 percent from a year ago, driven by higher market valuations and continued positive net flows
  • Third quarter 2017 average closed referred investment assets (referrals resulting from the WIM/Community Banking partnership) were down 12 percent from the prior quarter

Retail Brokerage

  • Client assets of $1.6 trillion, up 9 percent from prior year
  • Advisory assets of $522 billion, up 14 percent from prior year, primarily driven by higher market valuations and positive net flows
  • Strong loan growth, with average balances up 10 percent from prior year largely due to continued growth in non-conforming mortgage loans

Wealth Management

  • Client assets of $241 billion, up 5 percent from prior year
  • Average loan balances up 4 percent from prior year primarily driven by continued growth in non-conforming mortgage loans

Asset Management

  • Total assets under management of $496 billion, flat from prior year as equity and money market net outflows were offset by higher market valuations, positive fixed income net flows and assets acquired during the prior year

Retirement

  • IRA assets of $400 billion, up 6 percent from prior year
  • Institutional Retirement plan assets of $387 billion, up 11 percent from prior year

9 Penetration defined as the percentage of Retail Banking households that have a credit card with Wells Fargo. Retail Banking households reflect only those households that maintain a retail checking account, which we believe provides the foundation for long-term retail banking relationships. Credit card household penetration rates have not been adjusted to reflect the impact of the potentially unauthorized accounts (determined principally based on whether the account was activated by the customer) identified by a third party consulting firm in August 2017 because the maximum impact in any one quarter was not greater than 127 bps.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, we may make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed or furnished with the SEC, and our management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “target,” “projects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “can” and similar references to future periods. 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 and allowance levels; (iv) the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses; (v) our expectations regarding net interest income and net interest margin; (vi) loan growth or the reduction or mitigation of risk in our loan portfolios; (vii) future capital or liquidity levels or targets and our estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio under Basel III capital standards; (viii) the performance of our mortgage business and any related exposures; (ix) the expected outcome and impact of legal, regulatory and legislative developments, as well as our expectations regarding compliance therewith; (x) future common stock dividends, common share repurchases and other uses of capital; (xi) our targeted range for return on assets and return on equity; (xii) the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings; and (xiii) 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, and the overall slowdown in global economic growth;
  • 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;
  • financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses, including the Dodd-Frank Act and other legislation and regulation relating to bank products and services;
  • the extent of our success in our loan modification efforts, as well as the effects of regulatory requirements or guidance regarding loan modifications;
  • the amount of mortgage loan repurchase demands that we receive and our ability to satisfy any such demands without having to repurchase loans related thereto or otherwise indemnify or reimburse third parties, and the credit quality of or losses on such repurchased mortgage loans;
  • negative effects relating to our mortgage servicing and foreclosure practices, as well as changes in industry standards or practices, regulatory or judicial requirements, penalties or fines, increased servicing and other costs or obligations, including loan modification requirements, or delays or moratoriums on foreclosures;
  • our ability to realize our efficiency ratio 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;
  • losses related to recent hurricanes, which primarily impacted Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico, including from damage or loss to our collateral for loans in our consumer and commercial loan portfolios and from the impact on the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans;
  • the effect of the current low interest rate environment or changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages 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 other-than-temporary impairment on securities held in our investment securities portfolio;
  • the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our investment banking business and our fee income from our brokerage, asset and wealth management businesses;
  • negative effects from the retail banking sales practices matter, 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 team members, and our reputation;
  • reputational damage from negative publicity, protests, fines, penalties and other negative consequences from regulatory violations and legal actions;
  • a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks;
  • 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; 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, 2016.

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 more 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, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on its website at www.sec.gov.

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.

(1) Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets (including goodwill and intangible assets associated with certain of our nonmarketable equity investments but excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of applicable deferred taxes. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that return on average tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share, which utilize tangible common equity, are useful financial measures because they enable investors and others to assess the Company's use of equity. For additional information, including a corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, see the "Tangible Common Equity" tables on page 35.

(2) The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).

(3) Pre-tax pre-provision profit (PTPP) is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that PTPP is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle.

(4) Consumer and small business banking deposits are total deposits excluding mortgage escrow and wholesale deposits.

(5) Book value per common share is common stockholders' equity divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible book value per common share is tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding.

CHANGES IN ACCRETABLE YIELD RELATED TO PURCHASED CREDIT-IMPAIRED (PCI) LOANS

 
Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit impaired. PCI loans predominantly represent loans acquired from Wachovia that were deemed to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include statistics such as past due and nonaccrual status, recent borrower credit scores and recent LTV percentages. PCI loans are initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, the associated allowance for credit losses related to these loans is not carried over at the acquisition date.
 
As a result of PCI loan accounting, certain credit-related ratios cannot be used to compare a portfolio that includes PCI loans against one that does not, or to compare ratios across quarters or years. The ratios particularly affected include the allowance for loan losses and allowance for credit losses as percentages of loans, of nonaccrual loans and of nonperforming assets; nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans; and net charge-offs as a percentage of loans.
 

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the carrying value of PCI loans is referred to as the accretable yield and is accreted into interest income over the estimated lives of the PCI loans using the effective yield method. The accretable yield is affected by:

• Changes in interest rate indices for variable rate PCI loans - Expected future cash flows are based on the variable rates in effect at the time of the quarterly assessment of expected cash flows;
• Changes in prepayment assumptions - Prepayments affect the estimated life of PCI loans which may change the amount of interest income, and possibly principal, expected to be collected; and

• Changes in the expected principal and interest payments over the estimated life - Updates to changes in expected cash flows are driven by the credit outlook and actions taken with borrowers. Changes in expected future cash flows from loan modifications are included in the regular evaluations of cash flows expected to be collected.

 

The change in the accretable yield related to PCI loans since the merger with Wachovia is presented in the following table.

(3) At September 30, 2017, our carrying value for PCI loans totaled $13.6 billion and the remainder of nonaccretable difference established in purchase accounting totaled $454 million. The nonaccretable difference absorbs losses of contractual amounts that exceed our carrying value for PCI loans.

(4) Represents changes in cash flows expected to be collected due to the impact of modifications, changes in prepayment assumptions, changes in interest rates on variable rate PCI loans and sales to third parties.

(1) The individual states shown in this table represent the top five states based on the total net carrying value of the Pick-a-Pay loans at the beginning of 2017.

(2) Adjusted unpaid principal balance includes write-downs taken on loans where severe delinquency (normally 180 days) or other indications of severe borrower financial stress exist that indicate there will be a loss of contractually due amounts upon final resolution of the loan.

(3) The current LTV ratio is calculated as the adjusted unpaid principal balance divided by the collateral value. Collateral values are generally determined using automated valuation models (AVM) and are updated quarterly. AVMs are computer-based tools used to estimate market values of homes based on processing large volumes of market data including market comparables and price trends for local market areas.

(4) Carrying value, which does not reflect the allowance for loan losses, includes remaining purchase accounting adjustments, which, for PCI loans may include the nonaccretable difference and the accretable yield and, for all other loans, an adjustment to mark the loans to a market yield at date of merger less any subsequent charge-offs.

(5) The ratio of carrying value to current value is calculated as the carrying value divided by the collateral value.

(1) Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets (including goodwill and intangible assets associated with certain of our nonmarketable equity investments but excluding mortgage servicing rights), net of applicable deferred taxes. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that return on average tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share, which utilize tangible common equity, are useful financial measures because they enable investors and others to assess the Company's use of equity.

(2) Represents goodwill and other intangibles on nonmarketable equity investments, which are included in other assets.

(3) Applicable deferred taxes relate to goodwill and other intangible assets. They were determined by applying the combined federal statutory rate and composite state income tax rates to the difference between book and tax basis of the respective goodwill and intangible assets at period end.

(1) Basel III capital rules, adopted by the Federal Reserve Board on July 2, 2013, revised the definition of capital, increased minimum capital ratios, and introduced a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio. These rules established a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations that implements the Basel III capital framework and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The rules are being phased in through the end of 2021. Fully phased-in capital amounts, ratios and RWAs are calculated assuming the full phase-in of the Basel III capital rules. Fully phased-in regulatory capital amounts, ratios and RWAs are considered non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management, bank regulatory agencies, investors and analysts to assess and monitor the Company’s capital position.

(2) Represents goodwill and other intangibles on nonmarketable equity investments, which are included in other assets.

(3) Applicable deferred taxes relate to goodwill and other intangible assets. They were determined by applying the combined federal statutory rate and composite state income tax rates to the difference between book and tax basis of the respective goodwill and intangible assets at period end.

(4) The final Basel III capital rules provide for two capital frameworks: the Standardized Approach, which replaced Basel I, and the Advanced Approach applicable to certain institutions. Under the final rules, we are subject to the lower of our CET1 ratio calculated under the Standardized Approach and under the Advanced Approach in the assessment of our capital adequacy. Because the final determination of our CET1 ratio and which approach will produce the lower CET1 ratio as of September 30, 2017, is subject to detailed analysis of considerable data, our CET1 ratio at that date has been estimated using the Basel III definition of capital under the Basel III Standardized Approach RWAs. The capital ratio for June 30 and March 31, 2017, and December 31 and September 30, 2016, was calculated under the Basel III Standardized Approach RWAs.
(5) The Company’s September 30, 2017, RWAs and capital ratio are preliminary estimates.
