(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.

 

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) reported net income of $5.6 billion, or $1.01 per diluted common share, for second quarter 2016, compared with $5.7 billion, or $1.03 per share, for second quarter 2015, and $5.5 billion, or $0.99 per share, for first quarter 2016.

Chairman and CEO John Stumpf said, “Wells Fargo's second quarter results demonstrated our ability to generate consistent performance during periods of economic, capital markets and interest rate uncertainty. Compared with a year ago, we had solid growth in loans, deposits and customers, which are our fundamental drivers of long-term value. We also improved our efficiency ratio while continuing to reinvest in the franchise. We returned more capital to our shareholders in the quarter and were pleased to have received a non-objection to our 2016 Capital Plan from the Federal Reserve. We remain well positioned to continue to meet the financial needs of our customers.”

Chief Financial Officer John Shrewsberry added, “Second quarter results benefited from our diversified business model, as demonstrated by higher linked-quarter net interest income, growth in many of our fee-based businesses and positive operating leverage. Earning assets increased in the second quarter, driven by growth in both loans and investment securities. Investment securities were up $18.5 billion in the second quarter, reflecting gross purchases of approximately $38 billion compared with $5 billion in first quarter. Second quarter purchases were made at interest rate levels above those available late in the quarter, after the 'Brexit' vote. We continue to have capacity for additional deployment of liquidity, but will remain disciplined in our investment approach. Capital remained strong with a net payout ratio4 of 62 percent in the quarter, as we returned $3.2 billion to shareholders through common stock dividends and net share repurchases."

Net Interest Income

Net interest income in second quarter 2016 increased $66 million from first quarter 2016 to $11.7 billion, primarily driven by loan growth, including the full quarter benefit of the assets acquired from GE Capital that closed late in the first quarter. The benefit to net interest income from loan growth was partially offset by reduced income in the investment securities portfolio reflecting accelerated prepayments, primarily on our mortgage-backed securities (MBS), increased interest expense from higher debt balances, and lower interest income from trading assets.

Net interest margin was 2.86 percent, down 4 basis points from first quarter 2016. The decline was primarily driven by the impact of growth in long-term debt, growth in deposits and reduced income on investment securities. The impact of all other balance sheet growth, mix changes and repricing was beneficial to the net interest margin.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income in the second quarter was $10.4 billion, down from $10.5 billion in first quarter 2016. Second quarter noninterest income reflected higher net gains on debt securities, trust and investment fees, net gains from trading activities, lease income, card fees and service charges on deposit accounts. These increases were partially offset by a linked-quarter reduction in other income, driven by a decline in hedge ineffectiveness income from $379 million in first quarter 2016 to $56 million in second quarter. Other income also included a $290 million gain on the sale of our health benefit services business in second quarter 2016, while first quarter results included a $381 million gain from the sale of our crop insurance business. Insurance revenue declined $141 million linked quarter, due to the sale of our crop insurance business.

Trust and investment fees were $3.5 billion, up $162 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher investment banking fees, as well as higher retail brokerage asset-based fees and transaction activity, and trust and investment management fees.

Mortgage banking noninterest income was $1.4 billion, down $184 million from first quarter 2016, as a $306 million increase in origination gains was more than offset by a decline in servicing revenue due in part to lower mortgage servicing rights (MSR) hedging results. Residential mortgage loan originations were $63 billion in the second quarter, up $19 billion linked quarter. The production margin on residential held-for-sale mortgage loan originations5 was 1.66 percent, compared with 1.68 percent in first quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense declined $162 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower employee benefits, which were seasonally elevated in first quarter 2016, as well as lower operating losses. Insurance expense also declined as a result of the first quarter 2016 sale of our crop insurance business. The decline in noninterest expense was partially offset by higher outside professional services, primarily for project-related expenses, and higher operating lease depreciation expense as a result of the GE Capital transactions. The efficiency ratio was 58.1 percent in second quarter 2016, compared with 58.7 percent in the prior quarter. The Company continues to expect to operate at the higher end of its targeted efficiency ratio range of 55 to 59 percent for full year 2016.

Loans

Total loans were $957.2 billion at June 30, 2016, up $9.9 billion, or 1 percent, from March 31, 2016, driven by growth in commercial loans, including commercial and industrial and real estate mortgage loans, as well as growth in consumer loans, including real estate 1-4 family first mortgage loans, credit card and automobile. Total average loans were $950.8 billion in the second quarter, up $23.5 billion from the prior quarter, and included the full quarter impact of the March 1, 2016 acquisition of GE Capital's Commercial Distribution Finance and Vendor Finance businesses, as well as a portion of its Corporate Finance business.

Investment Securities

Investment securities were $353.4 billion at June 30, 2016, up $18.5 billion from first quarter, as approximately $38 billion of purchases, predominantly federal agency MBS for our held-to-maturity portfolio, were partially offset by run-off, including accelerated prepayments of investment securities, and sales.

Net unrealized available-for-sale securities gains of $4.5 billion at June 30, 2016, increased from $3.5 billion at March 31, 2016, primarily due to a decline in interest rates, which was partially offset by widening credit spreads.

Deposits

Total average deposits for second quarter 2016 were $1.2 trillion, up 1 percent from the prior quarter, driven by a $13.4 billion increase in consumer and small business. The average deposit cost for second quarter 2016 was 11 basis points, up 3 basis points from a year ago and up 1 basis point from the prior quarter.

Capital

Capital levels remained strong in the second quarter, with Common Equity Tier 1 (fully phased-in) (CET1) of 10.6 percent3, compared with 10.6 percent in the prior quarter. In second quarter 2016, the Company repurchased 44.8 million shares of its common stock, reducing period-end common shares outstanding by 27.4 million shares. The Company paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.38 per share, up from $0.375 per share a year ago. The Company received a non-objection to its 2016 Capital Plan from the Federal Reserve.

Credit Quality

“Overall credit results were solid in the second quarter as our quarterly loss rate remained low, at 0.39 percent (annualized)," said Chief Risk Officer Mike Loughlin. "The loan portfolio continued to perform well, led by further improvement in consumer real estate. Oil and gas portfolio performance during the quarter was generally consistent with our expectations. Results in the oil and gas portfolio remained under pressure with higher credit losses and nonaccrual loans, while our allowance coverage ratio for the portfolio remained stable at 9.2 percent at quarter-end. The allowance for credit losses in the second quarter reflected a reserve build2 of $150 million, primarily attributable to loan growth in the commercial, automobile and credit card portfolios. Future allowance levels will be based on a variety of factors, including loan growth, portfolio performance and general economic conditions.”

Net Loan Charge-offs

The quarterly loss rate of 0.39 percent (annualized) reflected commercial losses of 0.29 percent and consumer losses of 0.49 percent. Credit losses were $924 million in second quarter 2016, compared with $886 million in first quarter 2016, on $59 million higher oil and gas portfolio losses. Consumer losses decreased $82 million, driven by a $46 million decline in consumer real estate losses and a $37 million decline in automobile losses reflecting seasonality.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing with repayments insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or predominantly guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for mortgage loans and the U.S. Department of Education for student loans under the Federal Family Education Loan Program were $11.6 billion at June 30, 2016, down from $12.3 billion at March 31, 2016.

Revenue of $12.2 billion decreased $410 million, or 3 percent, from first quarter 2016 due to lower other income (hedge ineffectiveness), mortgage banking revenue, and net interest income, partially offset by higher gains from sale of debt securities. Noninterest expense decreased $188 million, or 3 percent, compared with first quarter 2016, due to lower operating losses and other expense, partially offset by higher project-related expense. The provision for credit losses decreased $31 million from the prior quarter.

Net income was down $36 million, or 1 percent, from second quarter 2015. Revenue increased $237 million, or 2 percent, compared with a year ago due to higher gains on sale of debt securities, other income (hedge ineffectiveness), net interest income and card fees, partially offset by lower mortgage banking revenue, gains on equity investments, and trust and investment fees. Noninterest expense decreased $71 million, or 1 percent, from a year ago driven by lower operating losses and foreclosed assets expense, partially offset by higher personnel costs. The provision for credit losses increased $292 million from a year ago primarily due to a reserve build compared with a reserve release in second quarter 2015.

Wholesale Banking reported net income of $2.1 billion, up $152 million, or 8 percent, from first quarter 2016.

Noninterest expense increased $68 million, or 2 percent, from the prior quarter driven by the full quarter impact of the GE Capital acquisition, as well as higher project-related spending, partially offset by seasonally lower personnel expenses and lower insurance commissions due to the sale of our crop insurance business.

Noninterest expense increased $532 million, or 15 percent, from a year ago primarily due to the GE Capital acquisitions and higher personnel expenses related to growth initiatives, compliance, and regulatory requirements.

The provision for credit losses was up $16 million from first quarter 2016 due to higher net charge-offs.

Net income was relatively flat compared with second quarter 2015. Revenue decreased $57 million, or 1 percent, from a year ago primarily driven by lower asset-based fees and brokerage transaction revenue, partially offset by higher net interest income as average loans increased $7.4 billion, or 12 percent, to $66.7 billion. Noninterest expense decreased $62 million, or 2 percent, from a year ago, primarily due to lower operating losses. The provision for credit losses increased $12 million from a year ago primarily due to higher net charge-offs.

Retail Brokerage

  • Client assets of $1.5 trillion, up 2 percent from prior year
  • Advisory assets of $444 billion, up 2 percent from prior year, primarily driven by positive net flows
  • Strong loan growth, with average balances up 20 percent from prior year largely due to continued growth in non-conforming mortgage loans and security-based lending

Wealth Management

  • Client assets of $224 billion, stable from prior year
  • Average loan balances up 9 percent over prior year primarily driven by continued growth in non-conforming mortgage loans, commercial loans and security-based lending

Retirement

  • IRA assets of $367 billion, up 1 percent from prior year
  • Institutional Retirement plan assets of $337 billion, down 3 percent from prior year

Asset Management

  • Total assets under management of $484 billion, down 1 percent from prior year primarily due to equity fund outflows, partially offset by favorable fixed income net inflows and higher market valuations

Endnotes

1   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.
2 Reserve build represents the amount by which the provision for credit losses exceeds net charge-offs, while reserve release represents the amount by which net charge-offs exceed the provision for credit losses.
3 See table on page 36 for more information on Common Equity Tier 1. Common Equity Tier 1 (fully phased-in) is a preliminary estimate and is calculated assuming the full phase-in of the Basel III capital rules.
4 Net payout ratio means the ratio of (i) common stock dividends and share repurchases less issuances and stock compensation-related items, divided by (ii) net income applicable to common stock.
5 Production margin represents net gains on residential mortgage loan origination/sales activities divided by total residential held-for-sale mortgage originations. See the Selected Five Quarter Residential Mortgage Production Data table on page 41 for more information.

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 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;
  • 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;
  • 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, 2015.

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, 2015, 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.
