U.S. Bancorp said its profit for the fourth quarter rose because
of a lower provision for credit losses as the global economy
improved, despite lower net interest income and higher noninterest
expenses.
The Minneapolis-based company, the parent of U.S. Bank, on
Wednesday posted net income of $1.67 billion, compared with $1.52
billion a year earlier. Earnings were $1.07 a share, compared with
95 cents a share in the prior year. Analysts polled by FactSet had
been expecting $1.10 a share.
Net interest income was $3.12 billion, down from $3.18 billion,
the company said. Analysts had been expecting $3.14 billion. The
metric fell because of lower loan spreads and mix of earning
assets, partially offset by higher investment portfolio balances
and the benefit of deposit and funding mix, the company said.
Net revenue was $5.68 billion, down from $5.75 billion. The
decline was driven by lower mortgage banking revenue, partially
offset by higher trust and investment management fees, the company
said. Analysts had been looking for $5.75 billion.
Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $13 million,
compared with $441 million set aside for possible bad loans in the
year-earlier period, the company said. In the third quarter,
provision for credit losses was a benefit of $163 million.
