Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) reported net income of $5.8 billion, or $1.05 per diluted common share, for third quarter 2015, compared with $5.7 billion, or $1.02 per share, for third quarter 2014, and $5.7 billion, or $1.03 per share, for second quarter 2015.

"Wells Fargo's strong third quarter results reflected the ability of our diversified business model to generate consistent financial performance in an uneven economic environment while continuing to meet our customers' financial needs," said Chairman and CEO John Stumpf. "Compared with a year ago, we grew loans, deposits and capital, and returned more capital to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. Our balance sheet and credit results remained strong and our 265,000 team members continue to focus on helping our customers succeed financially."

Chief Financial Officer John Shrewsberry said, "Wells Fargo reported a solid $5.8 billion of net income for the third quarter. Revenue increased on both a linked quarter and year over year basis, on growth in both net interest income and noninterest income. We generated positive operating leverage in the quarter, as our expenses declined, and we remained within our targeted efficiency ratio range. Our return on equity and return on assets also remained within our targeted ranges, and we increased our net payout ratio5 to shareholders to 60 percent from 54 percent in second quarter."

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $187 million from second quarter 2015 to $11.5 billion, primarily driven by growth in investment securities and loans, including the full quarter benefit of the GE Capital loan purchase and related financing transaction that settled late in the second quarter. The third quarter also included one additional day, accounting for approximately one third of the increase in net interest income relative to the second quarter. These benefits were partially offset by reduced income from variable sources including purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loan recoveries, periodic dividends, and loan fees included in interest income.

Net interest margin was 2.96 percent, down 1 basis point from second quarter 2015. Balance sheet growth and repricing, driven by securities purchases and higher loan balances, improved the net interest margin by approximately 5 basis points linked-quarter. These benefits were offset by growth in customer deposits, which had a minimal impact to net interest income, but was dilutive to the net interest margin by 3 basis points, and by lower income from variable sources, which reduced the margin by 3 basis points.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $10.4 billion, up from $10.0 billion in second quarter 2015, driven by higher equity investment gains, deposit service charges, lease income and card fees. Other noninterest income was also higher in the quarter, primarily due to the impact of lower interest rates on our debt hedging results. Offsetting this growth were lower gains from trading activities, driven by lower deferred compensation plan investment results (largely offset in employee benefits expense), debt securities gains, trust and investment fees, and seasonally lower crop insurance fees.

Mortgage banking noninterest income was $1.6 billion, down $116 million from second quarter. During the third quarter, residential mortgage originations were $55 billion, down $7 billion linked quarter. The production margin on residential held-for-sale mortgage originations6 was 1.88 percent, compared with 1.75 percent in second quarter. Net mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) results were $253 million, compared with $107 million in second quarter 2015.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense declined $70 million from the prior quarter to $12.4 billion, primarily due to lower deferred compensation expense in employee benefits. This decline was partially offset by a $126 million contribution to the Wells Fargo Foundation, higher salaries expense, and increased project-related outside professional services expense. The efficiency ratio improved to 56.7 percent in third quarter 2015, compared with 58.5 percent in the prior quarter. The Company expects to operate at the higher end of its targeted efficiency ratio range of 55 to 59 percent for full year 2015.

Loans

Total loans were $903.2 billion at September 30, 2015, up $14.8 billion from June 30, 2015. Growth was broad-based and was driven by commercial and industrial, and 1-4 family first mortgage loans. Core loan growth was $17.1 billion, as non-strategic/liquidating portfolios declined $2.3 billion in the quarter. Total average loans were $895.1 billion in the third quarter, up $24.6 billion from the prior quarter, and included the benefit of the GE Capital loan purchase and related financing transaction that settled late in the second quarter.

(a) See table on page 32 for additional information on non-strategic/liquidating loan portfolios. Management believes that the above information provides useful disclosure regarding the Company’s ongoing loan portfolios.

Investment Securities

Investment securities were $345.1 billion at September 30, 2015, up $4.3 billion from second quarter. Purchases of approximately $19 billion (primarily federal agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities), were partially offset by maturities, amortization and sales.

Net unrealized available-for-sale securities gains of $4.9 billion at September 30, 2015, declined from $5.7 billion at June 30, 2015, as the benefit of lower interest rates was offset by reductions arising from realized gains (both debt and equity), and widening credit spreads.

Deposits

Total average deposits for third quarter 2015 were $1.2 trillion, up 6 percent from a year ago and up 5 percent (annualized) from second quarter 2015, driven by both commercial and consumer growth. The average deposit cost for third quarter 2015 was 8 basis points, which was down 2 basis points from a year ago and flat compared with the prior quarter.

Capital

Capital levels remained strong in the third quarter, with Common Equity Tier 1 under Basel III (fully phased-in) of $141.9 billion. The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio under Basel III (fully phased-in) was 10.7 percent4. In third quarter 2015, the Company purchased 51.7 million shares of its common stock. The Company also paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.375 per share, up from $0.35 per share a year ago.

Credit Quality

“Credit performance remained strong during the quarter," said Chief Risk Officer Mike Loughlin. "The quarterly loss rate (annualized) remained low at 0.31 percent and nonperforming assets declined by $1.1 billion, or 30 percent (annualized), from the prior quarter driven by lower nonaccrual loans. The allowance for credit losses in the third quarter remained flat (no reserve release) as continued credit quality improvements in the residential real estate portfolio were offset by higher commercial reserves reflecting deterioration in the energy sector. Future allowance levels may increase or decrease based on a variety of factors, including loan growth, portfolio performance and general economic conditions.”

Net Loan Charge-offs

The quarterly loss rate (annualized) of 0.31 percent included commercial losses of 0.08 percent and consumer losses of 0.53 percent. Credit losses were $703 million in third quarter 2015, compared with $650 million in the second quarter, an 8 percent increase, primarily driven by a seasonal increase in the auto portfolio.

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 $872 million at September 30, 2015, up from $756 million at June 30, 2015. 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 $13.5 billion at September 30, 2015, down from $14.4 billion at June 30, 2015.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses, including the allowance for unfunded commitments, totaled $12.6 billion at September 30, 2015, unchanged from June 30, 2015. The allowance coverage to total loans was 1.39 percent, compared with 1.42 percent in second quarter 2015. The allowance covered 4.5 times annualized third quarter net charge-offs, compared with 4.8 times in the prior quarter. The allowance coverage to nonaccrual loans was 109 percent at September 30, 2015, compared with 101 percent at June 30, 2015. “We believe the allowance was appropriate for losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2015,” said Loughlin.

Business Segment Performance

Wells Fargo defines its operating segments by product type and customer segment. Effective third quarter 2015, we realigned our asset management business from Wholesale Banking to Wealth and Investment Management (WIM) (formerly Wealth, Brokerage and Retirement) and realigned our reinsurance business from WIM and our strategic auto investments from Community Banking to Wholesale Banking. Results for these operating segments were revised for prior periods to reflect the impact of these realignments. Segment net income for each of the three business segments was:

Revenue of $13.6 billion increased $973 million, or 8 percent, from second quarter 2015 due to gains from sale of equity investments, as well as higher net interest income, deposit service charges, and other income, partially offset by lower mortgage banking fees. Noninterest expense increased $58 million, or 1 percent, primarily due to a donation to the Wells Fargo Foundation, partially offset by lower advertising costs and operating losses. The provision for credit losses increased $295 million from the prior quarter primarily due to the absence of a reserve release in the quarter.

Net income was up $225 million, or 7 percent, from third quarter 2014. Revenue was up $807 million, or 6 percent, compared with a year ago due to higher net interest income, market sensitive revenue, primarily gains from sale of equity investments, debit and credit card fees, and trust and investment fees. Noninterest expense increased $170 million, or 2 percent, from a year ago driven by higher personnel costs and a donation to the Wells Fargo Foundation, partially offset by lower foreclosed assets and travel and entertainment expenses. The provision for credit losses increased $193 million from a year ago as the $74 million improvement in net charge-offs was more than offset by a $267 million lower reserve release.

Wholesale Banking reported net income of $1.8 billion, down $263 million, or 13 percent, from second quarter 2015. Revenue of $5.6 billion decreased $292 million, or 5 percent, from prior quarter. Net interest income increased $13 million, as the benefit of strong broad-based loan growth and higher other earning assets were largely offset by lower loan resolutions. Noninterest income decreased $305 million, or 11 percent, due to lower gains on equity fund investments and debt securities related to higher other-than-temporary impairment on energy sector investments, mortgage banking fees in real estate capital markets, investment banking fees, trading revenues and seasonally lower insurance fees. Noninterest expense increased $1 million as lower variable compensation expenses were more than offset by higher operating losses. The provision for credit losses increased $103 million from prior quarter due to the absence of a reserve release and increased net charge-offs.

Net income was down $157 million, or 8 percent, from third quarter 2014. Revenue decreased $97 million, or 2 percent, from third quarter 2014 as $67 million, or 2 percent, growth in net interest income related to strong loan and deposit growth was more than offset by lower noninterest income. Noninterest income declined $164 million, or 6 percent, on lower gains on equity investments and lower mortgage banking and commercial real estate brokerage fees. Noninterest expense increased $39 million, or 1 percent, from a year ago primarily due to higher personnel expenses related to growth initiatives, compliance, and regulatory requirements, as well as increased operating losses. The provision for credit losses increased $130 million from a year ago.

(1) Includes nonaccrual mortgages held for sale and loans held for sale in their respective loan categories.

(2) Excludes PCI loans because they continue to earn interest income from accretable yield, independent of performance in accordance with their contractual terms.

(3) Real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans predominantly 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.

(4) Consistent with regulatory reporting requirements, foreclosed real estate resulting from government insured/guaranteed loans are classified as nonperforming. Both principal and interest related to these foreclosed real estate assets are collectible because the loans were predominantly insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA. Foreclosure of certain government guaranteed residential real estate mortgage loans that meet criteria specified by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-14, Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure, effective as of January 1, 2014, are excluded from this table and included in Accounts Receivable in Other Assets. For more information on ASU 2014-14 and the classification of certain government-guaranteed mortgage loans upon foreclosure, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2014 Form 10-K.

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 is presented in the following table.

Changes in expected cash flows that do not affect nonaccretable difference (3) 24
Balance, September 30, 2015 $ 16,657

(1) Includes accretable yield released as a result of settlements with borrowers, which is included in interest income.

(2) Includes accretable yield released as a result of sales to third parties, which is included in noninterest income.

(3) 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.

(4) At September 30, 2015, our carrying value for PCI loans totaled $20.7 billion and the remainder of nonaccretable difference established in purchase accounting totaled $3.0 billion. The nonaccretable difference absorbs losses of contractual amounts that exceed our carrying value for PCI loans.

(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 2015.

(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.

Common Equity Tier 1 to total RWAs anticipated under Basel III (Fully Phased-In) (4) (A)/(B) 10.7 % 10.6 10.5 10.4

(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. We have 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) Goodwill and other intangible assets are net of any associated deferred tax liabilities.

(3) 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, 2015, 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, 2015, was calculated under the Basel III Standardized Approach RWAs, and the capital ratio for March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, was calculated under the Basel III Advanced Approach RWAs.

(4) The Company’s September 30, 2015, RWAs and capital ratio are preliminary estimates.

(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. Effective third quarter 2015, we realigned our asset management business from Wholesale Banking to Wealth and Investment Management (WIM) (formerly Wealth, Brokerage and Retirement), and realigned our reinsurance business from WIM and our strategic auto investments from Community Banking to Wholesale Banking. Results for these operating segments were revised for prior periods to reflect the impact of these realignments.

(2) Includes items not specific to a business segment and elimination of certain items that are included in more than one business segment, substantially all of which represents services for wealth management customers provided in Community Banking 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.

(1) 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).

(2) 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.
