  • Repurchased 112.5 million shares, or $6.1 billion, of common stock in first quarter 2024
  • $(284) million, or ($0.06) per share, of additional expense for the estimated FDIC special assessment5

Chief Executive Officer Charlie Scharf commented, "Our solid first quarter results demonstrate the progress we continue to make to improve and diversify our financial performance. The investments we are making across the franchise contributed to higher revenue versus the fourth quarter as an increase in noninterest income more than offset an expected decline in net interest income. Net charge-offs were stable from the fourth quarter as credit trends remained consistent with recent performance, and we repurchased $6.1 billion of common stock while maintaining a strong capital position."

"We reached an important milestone in the first quarter when the OCC announced the termination of a consent order it issued in 2016 regarding sales practices misconduct. The closure of this order is an important step forward and is confirmation that we operate much differently today around sales practices. It is the sixth enforcement action against Wells Fargo that our regulators have closed since 2019. The remaining risk and control work continues to be our top priority and we will not be satisfied until all work is complete," Scharf added.

"We remain committed to improving our efficiency while we also invest in both core infrastructure and new products and services to better serve our customers. In the first quarter we continued to enhance our credit card offerings with the introduction of Autograph JourneySM, which is designed for frequent travelers. Our new products continued to drive strong spend on our cards, and our investments in talent and technology in the Corporate and Investment Banking businesses helped drive fee-based growth," Scharf concluded.

  • Includes provision for credit losses for loans, debt securities, and other financial assets.
  • Represents our Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio calculated under the Standardized Approach, which is our binding CET1 ratio. See tables on pages 26-27 of the 1Q24 Quarterly Supplement for more information on CET1. CET1 for March 31, 2024, is a preliminary estimate.
  • Return on equity (ROE) represents Wells Fargo net income applicable to common stock divided by average common stockholders' equity.
  • 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 24-25 of the 1Q24 Quarterly Supplement.
  • Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment expense reflects an update provided by the FDIC in February 2024 on losses to the deposit insurance fund, as well as potential recoveries expected to reduce these estimated losses.

Financial results reported in this document are preliminary. Final financial results and other disclosures will be reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, 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.

1 Includes provision for credit losses for loans, debt securities, and other financial assets.

2 Tangible common equity and return on average tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures. For additional information, including a corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, see the "Tangible Common Equity" tables on pages 24-25 of the 1Q24 Quarterly Supplement.

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

First Quarter 2024 vs. First Quarter 2023

  • Net interest income decreased 8%, due to the impact of higher interest rates on funding costs, including the impact of
    customer migration to higher yielding deposit products, as well as lower loan balances, partially offset by higher yields on earning assets
  • Noninterest income increased 17%, driven primarily by improved results in our affiliated venture capital business on lower impairments, higher investment banking fees, an increase in asset-based fees in Wealth and Investment Management on higher market valuations, and higher trading revenue in our Markets business
  • Noninterest expense increased 5%, driven by higher operating losses reflecting customer remediation accruals for historical matters, higher FDIC assessments, an increase in revenue-related compensation predominantly in Wealth and Investment Management, and higher technology and equipment expense, partially offset by the impact of efficiency initiatives including lower professional and outside services expense
  • Provision for credit losses in first quarter 2024 included a decrease in the allowance for credit losses driven by commercial real estate and auto loans, partially offset by a higher allowance for credit card loans

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements. In addition, we may make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission, 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 expectations regarding noninterest expense and our 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) our expectations regarding our mortgage business and any related commitments or 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 actions; (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, declines in commercial real estate prices, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters, geopolitical matters, and any 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;
  • 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;
  • 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;

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, 2023, 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-GAAPFinancial Measures. From time to time management may discuss forward-lookingnon-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-lookingnon-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.
