U.S. Bank caps record quarter

Minneapolis-based U.S. Bancorp, which operates U.S. Bank branches in Wisconsin, reported record third quarter net income of $1.4 billion, or 74 cents per share, up from $1.3 billion, or 64 cents per share, in the same period a year ago.

Earnings for the quarter were driven by year-over-year growth in total net revenue and positive operating leverage.

U.S. Bancorp chairman, president and chief executive officer Richard Davis said, “Once again, we achieved industry-leading performance metrics with returns on average assets and average common equity of 1.70 percent and 16.5 percent, respectively, as well as an efficiency ratio of 50.4 percent. Additionally, we posted positive operating leverage on both a year-over-year and linked quarter basis, and we achieved these results despite an economy described as only modestly growing and burdened by uncertainty.”
