SAN FRANCISCO – Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) reported diluted earnings per common share of $3.36 for 2012, up 19 percent from $2.82 in 2011. Full year net income was $18.9 billion, compared with $15.9 billion in 2011. For fourth quarter 2012, net income was $5.1 billion, or $0.91 per share, compared with $4.1 billion, or $0.73 per share, for fourth quarter 2011.

“2012 was an outstanding year for Wells Fargo,” said Chairman and CEO John Stumpf. “We saw the continued benefits of our diversified business model and reported record full year and fourth quarter earnings, robust deposit and solid loan growth, and strong performance across our business units. The Company’s success is due to our more than 265,000 team members who remained focused on our customers and on our vision to satisfy all of our customers’ financial needs.

“This time last year, I said we would benefit from the many opportunities we saw for 2012 – and we did just that. From growing revenue, making strategic acquisitions and achieving efficiency improvements, I am extremely pleased with our 2012 performance. We also returned more capital to our shareholders through common stock dividends and common stock repurchases. We are very well positioned for and look forward to 2013, as Wells Fargo continues to work hard to contribute to a growing U.S. economy by doing what we do best: helping customers succeed financially.”

Chief Financial Officer Tim Sloan added, “The Company’s underlying results were driven by solid loan growth, improved credit quality, and continued success in improving efficiency. While our fourth quarter included some noteworthy items, we achieved strong returns on average assets and equity of 1.46 percent and 13.35 percent, respectively. We are very pleased with the Company’s outstanding performance despite the challenges our industry faced during this past year, including continued low interest rates and elevated unemployment. Our balanced business model helped us deliver strong results throughout these challenging times and should provide us the opportunity to continue to deliver value to our shareholders in the coming year.”

Revenue

Revenue for the year was $86.1 billion, up 6 percent from $80.9 billion in 2011. Revenue in the fourth quarter increased 7 percent to $21.9 billion, up $1.3 billion from a year ago. On a linked-quarter basis, revenue growth accelerated 14 percent (annualized), up $735 million. Growth in noninterest income was generated across our diversified businesses and net interest income was relatively flat linked quarter. Businesses generating linked-quarter, double-digit annualized revenue growth included capital finance, capital markets, commercial banking, commercial real estate, corporate banking, credit card, mortgage, and wealth management.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income in the fourth quarter decreased $249 million, or 2 percent, from a year ago, and was down slightly on a linked-quarter basis to $10.6 billion in fourth quarter. Income from our loan portfolios


- 4 -

 

rose slightly from prior quarter, reflecting both organic growth in consumer and commercial loans and the retention of $9.7 billion in high-quality, conforming first real estate mortgages in the fourth quarter. While the available-for-sale (AFS) securities portfolio balance was essentially flat linked-quarter, income continued to be impacted by runoff in federal agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and a decision to replace that runoff with shorter duration securities. Interest income from the AFS securities portfolio declined by $69 million. Interest income from the mortgage warehouse was down $63 million in the quarter as the size of the warehouse declined in line with lower origination volume.

The decline in interest income was partially offset by a $49 million decrease in interest expense, reflecting the benefit of continued reductions in deposit and long term funding costs.

On a linked-quarter basis, the Company’s net interest margin declined 10 basis points to 3.56 percent. The primary driver of the decline, approximately 8 basis points, was strong deposit growth of $30 billion in the quarter (12 percent annualized). This inflow of deposits caused cash and short term investments to increase, and while these inflows diluted net interest margin, they were essentially neutral to net interest income. The ongoing repricing of the balance sheet in the current low interest rate environment resulted in approximately 5 basis points of additional net interest margin compression. This was partially offset by the benefit of slightly higher income from variable sources, such as fee income and periodic dividends, which increased 3 basis points on a linked-quarter basis.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income of $11.3 billion increased $1.6 billion, or 16 percent, from fourth quarter 2011 and increased 28 percent (annualized) from third quarter 2012. The linked-quarter increase reflects growth in service charges, trust and investment fees, and mortgage banking. Noninterest income was also bolstered by above-average equity gains, driven by gains in our private equity businesses.

Mortgage banking noninterest income was $3.1 billion, up $261 million from third quarter 2012, on $125 billion of originations, compared with $139 billion of originations in third quarter. During the fourth quarter, the Company retained on balance sheet 1-4 family conforming first mortgage loans, forgoing approximately $340 million of fee revenue that could have been generated had the loans been originated for sale during the quarter along with other agency conforming loan production. The Company provided $379 million for mortgage loan repurchase losses, compared with $462 million in third quarter (included in net gains from mortgage loan origination/sales activities). Net mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) results were $220 million, up from $142 million in third quarter 2012, due primarily to MSRs valuation adjustments made in the third quarter for increased servicing and foreclosure costs. The ratio of MSRs to related loans serviced for others was 67 basis points and the average note rate on the servicing portfolio was 4.77 percent. The unclosed pipeline at December 31, 2012 was $81 billion, compared with $97 billion at September 30, 2012.


- 5 -

 

The Company had net unrealized securities gains of $11.9 billion at December 31, 2012, compared with $12.4 billion at September 30, 2012. Period-end AFS securities balances increased $5.8 billion.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $388 million, or 3 percent, from fourth quarter 2011 and increased $784 million from third quarter 2012. The increase in noninterest expense from the prior quarter was due primarily to $644 million in operating losses from an incremental accrual to fully reserve for the costs associated with the IFR settlement (discussed below) and additional remediation-related costs, and $250 million for a contribution to the Wells Fargo Foundation. The Company continued to operate within its targeted efficiency ratio range of 55 to 59 percent, with an efficiency ratio of 58.8 percent in fourth quarter 2012, compared with 57.1 percent in third quarter 2012 and 60.7 percent in fourth quarter 2011. The Company is well positioned to remain within this targeted range in 2013.

Independent Foreclosure Review Settlement

On January 7, 2013, the Company announced that, along with nine other mortgage servicers, it entered into settlement agreements with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) that would end their IFR programs created by Article VII of an April 2011 Interagency Consent Order and replace it with an accelerated remediation process.

In aggregate, the servicers have agreed to make direct, cash payments of $3.3 billion and to provide $5.2 billion in additional assistance, such as loan modifications, to consumers. Wells Fargo’s portion of the cash settlement is $766 million, which is based on the proportionate share of Wells Fargo-serviced loans in the overall IFR population. Wells Fargo recorded a pre-tax charge of $644 million in fourth quarter 2012 to fully reserve for its cash payment portion of the settlement and additional remediation-related costs. The Company also committed an additional $1.2 billion to foreclosure prevention actions. This commitment did not result in any charge as the Company believes that this commitment is covered through the existing allowance for credit losses and the nonaccretable difference relating to the purchased credit-impaired loan portfolios. With this settlement, the Company will no longer incur costs associated with the independent foreclosure reviews, which had recently approximated $125 million per quarter for external consultants and additional staffing.

“In addition to the benefit to our customers, we are very pleased to have put this legacy issue behind us and to have removed the future costs associated with independent foreclosure reviews,” said Stumpf.

Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 27.4 percent for the fourth quarter 2012, compared with 31.3 percent for the fourth quarter 2011 and 32.5 percent for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with 31.9 percent for the year ended December 31, 2011. The lower tax rate in the fourth quarter 2012 was primarily attributable


- 6 -

 

to the realization, for tax purposes, of a discrete $332 million benefit resulting from the surrender of previously written-down Wachovia life insurance investment.

Loans

Total loans were $799.6 billion at December 31, 2012, up $16.9 billion from September 30, 2012, including double-digit annualized loan growth in commercial banking, credit card, mortgage, and retail brokerage. Included in the total loan growth was $9.7 billion of 1-4 family conforming first mortgage production retained on the balance sheet. The growth in core loan portfolios more than offset the reduction in the non-strategic/liquidating portfolios, which declined $4.1 billion in the quarter.

Average total loans of $787.2 billion in fourth quarter 2012 grew $18.6 billion, or 2 percent, from fourth quarter 2011. On a linked-quarter basis, average loans increased $10.5 billion, or 5 percent (annualized). Average commercial and commercial real estate loans increased $10.8 billion, or 3 percent, from fourth quarter 2011 and increased $1.6 billion, or 2 percent (annualized), on a linked-quarter basis. Average consumer loans increased $7.8 billion, or 2 percent, from a year ago and increased $8.9 billion, or 8 percent (annualized), on a linked-quarter basis.

quarter 2012. Under current Basel III proposals, the Tier I common equity ratio was an estimated 8.18 percent8. In the fourth quarter, the Company purchased approximately 42 million shares of its common stock and an additional estimated 6 million shares through a forward repurchase transaction expected to settle in first quarter 2013, and paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.22 per share.

Credit Quality

“Wells Fargo’s risk profile continued to improve in 2012,” said Chief Risk Officer Mike Loughlin. “Credit losses were $9.0 billion in 2012, compared with $11.3 billion in 2011—an improvement of $2.3 billion or 20 percent. In addition, year-over-year, our nonperforming assets declined by $1.5 billion or 6 percent, our consumer 30 – 89 days past due was down $1.8 billion or 22 percent, our liquidating portfolios declined by $17.8 billion or 16 percent, and the Pick-a-Pay PCI portfolio continued to perform better than we estimated at the time we acquired Wachovia. Reflecting continued, improved credit performance, we released $250 million in loan loss reserves in the fourth quarter. Absent significant deterioration in the economy, we continue to expect future reserve releases in 2013, though at a lower level than in 2012,” said Loughlin.

Reported credit metrics for the quarter were affected by the completion of implementation of the OCC guidance issued in third quarter 2012. In the fourth quarter, we applied the updated OCC guidance to previously modified loans to consumers who have been discharged in bankruptcy. Fourth quarter adjustments associated with the OCC guidance affected nonperforming loans and net charge-offs as follows9:

 

 

$394 million reclassification of performing consumer loans to nonaccrual status

 

 

$321 million increase in net loan charge-offs, fully covered by loan loss reserves

Net Loan Charge-offs

Net loan charge-offs improved to $2.1 billion in fourth quarter 2012, or 105 basis points of average loans, compared with $2.6 billion in fourth quarter 2011, or 136 basis points of average loans. On a linked-quarter basis, net loan charge-offs improved by $277 million, or 16 basis points of average loans.

The proposed rules and interpretations and assumptions used in estimating Basel III calculations are subject to change depending on final promulgation of Basel III capital rules.

9 Reclassification to nonaccrual loans includes $264 million and the increase in net loan charge offs include $271 million from the completion of implementation of OCC guidance.

Excluding the $321 million in charge-offs resulting from the adjustments associated with the OCC guidance, net charge-offs in fourth quarter 2012 were $1.8 billion or 89 basis points with commercial losses of $255 million, or 29 basis points, and consumer losses of $1.5 billion or 138 basis points10. Full year 2012 credit losses (excluding losses from the OCC guidance implementation) declined $3.2 billion or 28 percent from 2011.

Nonperforming assets decreased by $744 million in the quarter, which included a $394 million increase in nonperforming loans due to the impact of the OCC guidance, ending the quarter at $24.5 billion, compared with $25.3 billion in third quarter 2012. Nonaccrual loans decreased to $20.5 billion from $21.0 billion in third quarter. Foreclosed assets were $4.0 billion, down from $4.2 billion in third quarter 2012.

 

 

10 Management believes that the presentation in this news release of information excluding the impact of the OCC guidance provides useful disclosure regarding the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolios.

Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing (excluding government insured/guaranteed) totaled $1.4 billion at December 31, 2012, compared with $1.5 billion at September 30, 2012. 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 mortgages and the U.S. Department of Education for student loans under the Federal Family Education Loan Program were $21.8 billion at December 31, 2012, up slightly from $21.4 billion at September 30, 2012.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses, including the allowance for unfunded commitments, totaled $17.5 billion at December 31, 2012, down from $17.8 billion at September 30, 2012. The allowance reflected estimated loan losses attributable to Hurricane Sandy. The allowance coverage to total loans was 2.19 percent, compared with 2.27 percent in third quarter 2012. The allowance covered 2.1 times annualized fourth quarter net charge-offs, compared with 1.9 times in the prior quarter. The allowance coverage to nonaccrual loans was 85 percent at December 31, 2012, compared with 85 percent at September 30, 2012. “We believe the allowance was appropriate for losses inherent in the loan portfolio at December 31, 2012,” said Loughlin.

Community Banking reported net income of $2.9 billion, up $360 million, or 14 percent, from fourth quarter 2011. Revenue increased $773 million, or 6 percent, primarily due to higher mortgage banking revenue and above-average quarterly equity gains, partially offset by lower net interest income. Noninterest expense increased $720 million, or 10 percent, from fourth quarter 2011, largely the result of costs associated with the IFR settlement and a $250 million contribution to the Wells Fargo Foundation, partially mitigated by lower employee benefits costs. The provision for credit losses was $268 million lower than a year ago due to improved portfolio performance. Net income included a benefit of $332 million associated with the realization for tax purposes of a previously written-down Wachovia life insurance investment.

Net income was up $129 million, or 5 percent, from third quarter 2012. Revenue increased $672 million, or 5 percent, from third quarter 2012, primarily due to above-average quarterly equity gains and higher mortgage banking revenue. Noninterest expense increased $631 million, or 9 percent, from third quarter, largely due to costs associated with the IFR settlement and a $250 million contribution to the Wells Fargo Foundation, partially offset by lower employee benefit costs. The provision for credit losses increased $130 million from third quarter, as credit improvement was more than offset by additional charge-offs from the completion of implementation of the OCC guidance issued in third quarter 2012.

Wholesale Banking reported net income of $2.0 billion, up $396 million, or 24 percent, from fourth quarter 2011 led by higher pre-tax pre-provision profit (PTPP)12 and lower net charge-offs. Revenue increased $577 million, or 11 percent, from fourth quarter 2011 driven by broad-based business growth, including acquisitions and solid loan and deposit growth. Noninterest expense increased $69 million, or 2 percent, from fourth quarter 2011 due to higher personnel expenses related to revenue growth and higher non-personnel expenses related to growth initiatives and compliance and regulatory requirements. Despite an improvement of $71 million in net charge-offs, the provision for credit losses increased $29 million from fourth quarter 2011, due to a lower level of reserve release. The fourth quarter 2012 provision included a $50 million reserve release, compared with a $150 million reserve release a year ago.

Net income was up $39 million, or 2 percent, from third quarter 2012. Revenue of $6.0 billion increased $44 million, or 1 percent, from third quarter 2012 as strong growth across many businesses, including capital finance, commercial banking, commercial real estate, corporate banking and investment banking was partially offset by lower sales and trading, equity funds gains and lower PCI resolutions. The Wholesale Banking businesses continued to drive higher loan growth and meet customer demand with average loan balances rising to $279 billion in the fourth quarter. Noninterest expense increased $99 million, or 3 percent, from third quarter 2012 on higher personnel expense and operating losses. The provision for

Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Information

In accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution you that this news release contains forward-looking statements about our future financial performance and business. We make forward-looking statements when we use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “should,” “may,” “can,” “will,” “outlook,” “project,” “appears” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this news release include, among others, statements about: (i) future credit quality and performance, and the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses, including our current expectation of future reserve releases; (ii) our expectations regarding noninterest expense and our targeted efficiency ratio; and (iii) our estimate regarding our Tier 1 common equity ratio under proposed Basel III capital rules as of December 31, 2012.

Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements as actual results could differ materially from expectations. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we do not undertake to update them to reflect changes or events that occur after that date. Several factors could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations including: current and future economic and market conditions, including the effects of further declines in housing prices, high unemployment rates, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters, and the sovereign debt crisis and economic difficulties in Europe; our capital requirements (including under regulatory capital standards as determined and interpreted by applicable regulatory authorities such as the proposed Basel III capital rules) 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 Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), as well as our ability to mitigate the loss of revenue and income from financial services reform and other regulation and legislation; the extent of success in our loan modification efforts, including the effects of regulatory requirements, or changes in regulatory requirements, relating to 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; negative effects relating to mortgage servicing and foreclosures, as well as effects associated with our settlement with the Department of Justice and other federal and state government entities related to our mortgage servicing and foreclosure practices, including changes in our procedures or practices and/or 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 when and in the range targeted, 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; a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors and other service providers; recognition of other-than-temporary impairment on securities held in our available-for-sale portfolio; the effect of the current low interest rate environment or changes in interest rates on our net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held for sale; hedging gains or losses; disruptions in the capital markets and reduced investor demand for mortgage loans; our ability to sell more products to our customers; the effect of fluctuations in stock market prices on fee income from our brokerage, asset and wealth management businesses; our election to provide support to our money market funds; changes in the value of our venture capital investments; changes in our accounting policies or in accounting standards or in how accounting standards are to be applied; changes in our credit ratings and changes in the credit ratings of our customers or counterparties; mergers and acquisitions; federal and state regulations; reputational damage from negative publicity, fines, penalties and other negative consequences from regulatory violations and legal actions; the loss of checking and saving account deposits to other investments such as the stock market; and fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board.

(1) Includes $1.7 billion at March 31, 2012, resulting from implementation of the Interagency Supervisory Guidance on Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Estimation Practices for Loans and Lines of Credit Secured by Junior Liens on 1-4 Family Residential Properties issued on January 31, 2012. This guidance accelerated the timing of placing these loans on nonaccrual to coincide with the timing of placing the related real estate 1-4 family first mortgage loans on nonaccrual.
(2) Includes $1.4 billion at September 30, 2012, resulting from implementation of OCC guidance issued in third quarter 2012, which requires consumer loans discharged in bankruptcy to be placed on nonaccrual status and written down to net realizable collateral value, regardless of their delinquency status.
(3) Also includes nonaccrual mortgages held for sale and loans held for sale in their respective loan categories.
(4) Excludes PCI loans because they continue to earn interest income from accretable yield, independent of performance in accordance with their contractual terms.
(5) Real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and student loans predominantly guaranteed by agencies on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program are not placed on nonaccrual status because they are insured or guaranteed.
(6) Consistent with regulatory reporting requirements, foreclosed real estate securing government insured/guaranteed loans is classified as nonperforming. Both principal and interest for government insured/guaranteed loans secured by the foreclosed real estate are collectible because the loans are insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA.

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 predominately 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.

Under the accounting guidance for PCI loans, the excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan, or pool of loans, in situations where there is a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected. Accordingly, such loans are not classified as nonaccrual and they are considered to be accruing because their interest income relates to the accretable yield recognized under accounting for PCI loans and not to contractual interest payments. The difference between the contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the nonaccretable difference.

Subsequent to acquisition, we regularly evaluate our estimates of cash flows expected to be collected. These evaluations, performed quarterly, require the continued usage of key assumptions and estimates, similar to the initial estimate of fair value. If we have probable decreases in the expected cash flows (other than due to a decrease in rate indices), we charge the provision for credit losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses. If we have probable and significant increases in the expected cash flows subsequent to establishing an additional allowance, we first reverse any previously established allowance and then increase interest income over the remaining life of the loan, or pool of loans.

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.

CHANGES IN NONACCRETABLE DIFFERENCE FOR PCI LOANS

The difference between the contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the nonaccretable difference. A nonaccretable difference is established in purchase accounting for PCI loans to absorb losses expected at that time on those loans. Amounts absorbed by the nonaccretable difference do not affect the income statement or the allowance for credit losses. Substantially all our commercial and industrial, CRE and foreign PCI loans are accounted for as individual loans. Conversely, Pick-a-Pay and other consumer PCI loans have been aggregated into several pools based on common risk characteristics. Each pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows. Resolutions of loans may include sales to third parties, receipt of payments in settlement with the borrower, or foreclosure of the collateral. Our policy is to remove an individual loan from a pool based on comparing the amount received from its resolution with its contractual amount. Any difference between these amounts is absorbed by the nonaccretable difference. This removal method assumes that the amount received from resolution approximates pool performance expectations. The accretable yield percentage is unaffected by the resolution and any changes in the effective yield for the remaining loans in the pool are addressed by our quarterly cash flow evaluation process for each pool. For loans that are resolved by payment in full, there is no release of the nonaccretable difference for the pool because there is no difference between the amount received at resolution and the contractual amount of the loan. Modified PCI loans are not removed from a pool even if those loans would otherwise be deemed troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). Modified PCI loans that are accounted for individually are considered TDRs, and removed from PCI accounting, if there has been a concession granted in excess of the original nonaccretable difference. The following table provides an analysis of changes in the nonaccretable difference.

(2) Release of the nonaccretable difference as a result of sales to third parties increases noninterest income in the period of the sale.
(3) Reclassification of nonaccretable difference to accretable yield for loans with increased cash flow estimates will result in increased interest income as a prospective yield adjustment over the remaining life of the loan or pool of loans.
(4) Write-downs to net realizable value of PCI loans are absorbed by the nonaccretable difference when 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.
(5) Quarter and year ended December 31, 2012, include $86 million and $462 million, respectively, resulting from the implementation of OCC guidance issued in third quarter 2012, which requires consumer loans discharged in bankruptcy to be written down to net realizable collateral value, regardless of their delinquency status.

CHANGES IN ACCRETABLE YIELD RELATED TO PCI 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 is presented in the following table.

CHANGES IN ALLOWANCE FOR PCI LOAN LOSSES

When it is estimated that the expected cash flows have decreased subsequent to acquisition for a PCI loan or pool of loans, an allowance is established and a provision for additional loss is recorded as a charge to income.

(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 2012.
(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) Consists predominantly of real estate 1-4 family junior lien mortgages and first and junior lines of credit secured by real estate, but excludes PCI loans because their losses are generally covered by PCI accounting adjustment at the date of acquisition, and excludes real estate 1-4 family first lien open-ended line reverse mortgages because they do not have scheduled payments. These reverse mortgage loans are insured by the FHA.
(2) Reflects the implementation of OCC guidance issued in third quarter 2012, which requires consumer loans discharged in bankruptcy to be written down to net realizable collateral value, regardless of their delinquency status.
(3) Includes $1.3 billion at December 31, 2012, and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2011, associated with the Pick-a-Pay portfolio.

(1) Tier 1 common equity is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) financial measure that is used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies to assess the capital position of financial services companies. Management reviews Tier 1 common equity along with other measures of capital as part of its financial analyses and has included this non-GAAP financial information, and the corresponding reconciliation to total equity, because of current interest in such information on the part of market participants.
(2) Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor, or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The Company’s December 31, 2012, risk-weighted assets and resulting Tier 1 common equity to total risk-weighted assets are preliminary and reflect total estimated on-balance sheet and total estimated derivative and off-balance sheet risk-weighted assets of $861.6 billion and $216.3 billion, respectively. Effective September 30, 2012, the Company refined its determination of the risk weighting of certain unused lending commitments that provide for the ability to issue standby letters of credit and commitments to issue standby letters of credit under syndication arrangements where the Company has an obligation to issue in a lead agent or similar capacity beyond its contractual participation level.

(1) Tier 1 common equity is a non-generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) financial measure that is used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies to assess the capital position of financial services companies. Management reviews Tier 1 common equity along with other measures of capital as part of its financial analyses and has included this non-GAAP financial information, and the corresponding reconciliation to total equity, because of current interest in such information on the part of market participants.
(2) The Basel III Tier 1 common equity and risk-weighted assets are calculated based on management’s current interpretation of the Basel III capital rules proposed by federal banking agencies in notices of proposed rulemaking announced in June 2012. The proposed rules and interpretations and assumptions used in estimating Basel III calculations are subject to change depending on final promulgations of Basel III capital rules.
(3) Adjustments from Basel I to Basel III represent reconciling adjustments, primarily certain components of cumulative other comprehensive income deducted for Basel I purposes, to derive Tier 1 common equity under Basel III.
(4) Threshold deductions, as defined under Basel III, include individual and aggregate limitations, as a percentage of Tier 1 common equity, with respect to MSRs, deferred tax assets and investments in unconsolidated financial companies.
(5) Volatility in interest rates can have a significant impact on the valuation of cumulative other comprehensive income and MSRs and therefore, may impact adjustments from Basel I to Basel III, and MSRs subject to threshold deductions, as defined under Basel III, in future reporting periods.
(6) Under current Basel proposals, risk-weighted assets incorporate different classifications of assets, with certain risk weights based on a borrower’s credit rating or Wells Fargo’s own risk models, along with adjustments to address a combination of credit/counterparty, operational and market risks, and other Basel III elements. The amount of risk-weighted assets anticipated under Basel III is preliminary and subject to change depending on final promulgation of Basel III capital rulemaking and interpretations thereof by regulatory authorities.

(1) The management accounting process measures the performance of the operating segments based on our management structure and is not necessarily comparable with other similar information for other financial services companies. We define our operating segments by product type and customer segment. In first quarter 2012, we modified internal funds transfer rates and the allocation of funding. The prior periods have been revised to reflect these changes.
(2) Includes Wachovia integration expenses and the elimination of items that are included in both Community Banking and Wealth, Brokerage and Retirement, largely representing wealth management customers serviced and products sold in the stores.
(3) Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of liabilities to fund those assets. Interest earned includes actual interest earned on segment assets and, if the segment has excess liabilities, interest credits for providing funding to other segments. The cost of liabilities includes interest expense on segment liabilities and, if the segment does not have enough liabilities to fund its assets, a funding charge based on the cost of excess liabilities from another segment.
(4) Represents segment net income (loss) for Community Banking; Wholesale Banking; and Wealth, Brokerage and Retirement segments and Wells Fargo net income for the consolidated company.

(1) Quarter ended March 31, 2012, includes $315 million residential MSRs transferred from amortized MSRs that we elected to carry at fair value effective January 1, 2012.
(2) Primarily represents prepayment speed changes due to changes in mortgage interest rates, but also includes other valuation changes due to changes in mortgage interest rates (such as changes in estimated interest earned on custodial deposit balances).
(3) Includes costs to service and unreimbursed foreclosure costs.
(4) Reflects discount rate assumption change, excluding portion attributable to changes in mortgage interest rates; the fourth quarter 2012 change reflects updated broker input on market values for servicing fees in excess of the minimum that can be retained on loans sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and the first quarter 2012 change reflects increased capital return requirements from market participants.
(5) Represents changes driven by other valuation model inputs or assumptions including prepayment speed estimation changes and other assumption updates. Prepayment speed estimation changes are influenced by observed changes in borrower behavior.
(6) Represents changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows over time.

(1) Includes repurchase demands of 661 and $132 million, 534 and $111 million, 526 and $103 million, 694 and $131 million and 861 and $161 million, for December 31, September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively, received from investors on mortgage servicing rights acquired from other originators. We generally have the right of recourse against the seller and may be able to recover losses related to such repurchase demands subject to counterparty risk associated with the seller. The number of repurchase demands from GSEs that are from mortgage loans originated in 2006 through 2008 totaled 81% at December 31, 2012.
(2) As part of our representations and warranties in our loan sales contracts, we typically represent to GSEs and private investors that certain loans have mortgage insurance to the extent there are loans that have loan to value ratios in excess of 80% that require mortgage insurance. To the extent the mortgage insurance is rescinded by the mortgage insurer due to a claim of breach of a contractual representation or warranty, the lack of insurance may result in a repurchase demand from an investor. Similar to repurchase demands, we evaluate mortgage insurance rescission notices for validity and appeal for reinstatement if the rescission was not based on a contractual breach. When investor demands are received due to lack of mortgage insurance, they are reported as unresolved repurchase demands based on the applicable investor category for the loan (GSE or private). Over the last year, approximately 20% of our repurchase demands from GSEs had mortgage insurance rescission as one of the reasons for the repurchase demand. Of all the mortgage insurance rescissions notices received in 2011, approximately 80% have resulted in repurchase demands through December 2012. Not all mortgage insurance rescissions received in 2011 have been completed through the appeals process with the mortgage insurer and upon successful appeal, we work with the investor to rescind the repurchase demand.
(3) While the original loan balances related to these demands are presented above, the establishment of the repurchase liability is based on a combination of factors, such as our appeals success rates, reimbursement by correspondent and other third party originators, and projected loss severity, which is driven by the difference between the current loan balance and the estimated collateral value less costs to sell the property.
