Operating earnings of $.42 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2001 were $.04, or 10.5 percent, higher than the same period of 2000. Operating earnings on a cash basis increased to $.48 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2001 from $.43 in the first quarter of 2000. Return on average common equity and return on average assets, excluding merger and restructuring-related charges, were 20.9 percent and 1.98 percent, respectively, in the first quarter of 2001, compared with returns of 20.8 percent and 1.90 percent in the first quarter of 2000. 5 U.S. Bancorp Reports First Quarter 2001 Results April 17, 2001 Page 2 U.S. Bancorp (the "Company") is the organization created by the merger of Firstar Corporation ("FSR") of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the former U.S. Bancorp ("USB") of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The merger was completed on February 27, 2001, as a pooling-of-interests, and prior periods have been restated. The Company's operating earnings of $.42 per diluted share represent a 20.0 percent increase over Firstar's first quarter of 2000 operating earnings, as originally reported, of $.35 per diluted share. The Company's operating earnings of $.42 per diluted share were $.01 higher than Firstar's fourth quarter of 2000 earnings of $.41, as originally reported. Including after-tax merger and restructuring-related charges of $387.2 million in the first quarter of 2001 and $43.0 million in the first quarter of 2000, the Company recorded net income for the first quarter of 2001 of $410.1 million, or $.21 per diluted share, compared with $686.8 million, or $.36 per diluted share, for the same period of 2000. U.S. Bancorp President and Chief Executive Officer Jerry A. Grundhofer said, "I am pleased with the first quarter results of the new U.S. Bancorp. I am proud of what our employees have accomplished in a very short period of time - employees who now have the opportunity to share in the success and growth of our new Company through the broad-based stock option grant that we announced in March. We have kept the proper focus on our customers, as evidenced by solid first quarter earnings despite a more difficult economic environment, and we have made significant progress on the integration of our two companies, the former Firstar and the former U.S. Bancorp. All significant decisions related to technology and operations have been finalized and scheduled for implementation in 2001 or the first half of 2002. Opportunities to improve performance through the introduction of new business models, products and services into both franchises have been identified and are beginning to be rolled-out. In March, former Firstar's retail banking model was introduced into the west markets, and the strong corporate payment services product set of the former U.S. Bancorp was introduced into the east markets. I am very excited about the future of this company. By bringing these two great companies together under one powerful brand, along with our nationally recognized Five Star Service Guarantee, we have created an organization that will bring better solutions and greater convenience to our customers, provide growth opportunities for our employees, value to our shareholders and a strong commitment to the communities we serve. We have the employees, the markets, the products, the financial strength and the brand to build the best bank in America."

Total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis for the first quarter of 2001 grew by $282.0 million, or 10.5 percent, over the first quarter of 2000, primarily due to $216.0 million of securities gains. Excluding securities gains, capital markets revenues (primarily U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and U.S. Bancorp Libra) and trust and asset management-related revenues, total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis for the first quarter of 2001 grew by approximately $180 million, or 8.5%, over the same period of 2000. Total noninterest expense, before merger and restructuring-related charges, increased over the first quarter of 2000 by $36.7 million, or 2.7 percent, primarily due to $59.4 million of unusual or nonrecurring expense items. Without these expense items, noninterest expense would have decreased in the first quarter of 2001 by $22.7 million, or 1.7 percent, from the first quarter of 2000, primarily reflecting cost savings from recent acquisitions. Provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2001, excluding merger-related charges, increased by $182.6 million over the first quarter of 2000, primarily due to a $160.0 million charge to the provision for credit losses incurred in connection with an accelerated loan workout strategy. The additional provision for credit losses was taken after an extensive review of the Company's commercial portfolio in light of recent declining economic conditions and company-specific trends. In connection with this strategy, the Company has written down the carrying values of these loans to estimated secondary market prices or liquidation values and intends to aggressively pursue the disposition or restructuring (MORE) 7 U.S. Bancorp Reports First Quarter 2001 Results April 17, 2001 Page 4 of these loans in a relatively short period of time. The net impact of the unusual or nonrecurring items was immaterial to the Company's operating earnings in the first quarter of 2001. Net charge-offs, excluding merger-related items totaling $90.0 million to conform risk management policies and effect certain portfolio restructurings, in the first quarter of 2001 were $387.1 million, compared with fourth quarter of 2000 net charge-offs of $229.5 million and first quarter of 2000 net charge-offs of $183.1 million. Included in the first quarter of 2001 charge-offs were $160.0 million of net charge-offs related to the Company's accelerated loan workout strategy. In addition, $21.3 million of net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2001 were associated with a portfolio of high loan-to-value home equity loans and the indirect automobile portfolio of the former U.S. Bancorp. These portfolios were sold at the end of the first quarter as part of the portfolio restructuring. Excluding the $271.3 million in net charge-offs associated with the merger, the credit portfolio review and accelerated workout strategy and the sold portfolios, baseline net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2001 were $205.8 million (see table 9). Net charge-offs, including merger-related and other risk management actions taken during the first quarter of 2001, were $477.1 million. Nonperforming assets increased from $867.0 million at December 31, 2000, to $1,090.8 million at March 31, 2001. Of the $223.8 million increase in nonperforming assets, $210.0 million was associated with merger-related actions and management's accelerated loan workout strategy. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 176 percent at March 31, 2001, compared with 233 percent at December 31, 2000.

The business line results are derived from the Company's profitability reporting systems. Designations, assignments and allocations may change from time to time as product lines change or segments are realigned to better respond to our diverse customer base. All results for 2001 and 2000 have been restated to present consistent methodologies for all business lines. Wholesale Banking offers lending, depository, treasury management and other financial services to middle market, large corporate and public sector clients. Wholesale Banking contributed $514.1 million of the Company's pre-tax operating income in the first quarter of 2001, a 12.9 percent increase over the same period of 2000 and a 3.3 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 2000. Total revenue grew by 14.2 percent from the first quarter of 2000 to the first quarter of 2001, the result of core loan and deposit growth, as well as the impact of acquisitions in the equipment finance division, and an increase in noninterest income (17.5 percent), particularly cash management-related fees. Offsetting the favorable variance in revenue was an increase in noninterest expense (20.6 percent), primarily due to the leasing acquisitions and planned growth in targeted markets. Consumer Banking delivers products and services to the broad consumer market and small businesses through banking offices, telemarketing, on-line service, direct mail and automated teller (MORE) 9 U.S. Bancorp Reports First Quarter 2001 Results April 17, 2001 Page 6 machines ("ATM"). It encompasses community banking, metropolitan banking, small business banking, consumer banking and investment sales. Consumer Banking contributed $603.6 million of the Company's pre-tax operating income in the first quarter of 2001, a 9.4 percent increase over the same period of 2000 and a 1.0 percent decline from the fourth quarter of 2000. Total revenue growth of 6.6 percent in the first quarter of 2001 over the same quarter of 2000 can be primarily attributed to an increase in retail deposit and cash management fees, the result of core account growth, product pricing enhancements and the acquisition of 41 branches in Tennessee. Mortgage banking revenue also contributed to the favorable variance. Partially offsetting the increase in revenue was an increase in noninterest expense (3.2 percent), primarily related to the Tennessee branch acquisition. Private Client, Trust and Asset Management provides mutual fund processing services, trust, private banking and financial advisory services through four businesses, including: the Private Client Group, Corporate Trust, Institutional Trust and Custody, and Mutual Fund Services, LLC. The business segment also offers investment management services to several client segments including mutual funds, institutional customers, and private asset management. Private Client, Trust and Asset Management contributed $151.1 million of the Company's pre-tax operating income in the first quarter of 2001, a 2.1 percent decline from the same period of 2000 and an 7.5 percent decline from the fourth quarter of 2000. Strong growth in net interest income (17.8 percent) in the first quarter of 2001 from the first quarter of 2000, the result of core loan and deposit growth, was offset by a decrease in noninterest income (3.2 percent) and an increase in noninterest expense (3.9 percent). Payment Services includes consumer and business credit cards, corporate and purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit, ATM processing and merchant processing. Payment Services contributed $282.5 million of the Company's pre-tax operating income in the first quarter of 2001, a 15.9 percent increase over the same period of 2000 and a 2.7 percent decrease from the fourth quarter of 2000. Strong revenue growth of 11.7 percent, primarily due to growth in credit card and payment processing fees, was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense (1.5 percent). Capital Markets engages in equity and fixed income trading activities, offers investment banking and underwriting services for corporate and public sector customers and provides financial advisory services and securities, mutual funds, annuities and insurance products to consumers and regionally-based businesses through a network of brokerage offices. Capital Markets contributed $35.7 million of the Company's pre-tax operating income in the first quarter of 2001, a 50.0 percent decline from the first quarter of 2000 and a 27.6 percent decline from the fourth quarter of 2000. The unfavorable (MORE) 10 U.S. Bancorp Reports First Quarter 2001 Results April 17, 2001 Page 7 variances in pre-tax operating income from the first and fourth quarters of 2000 were due to significant decreases in fees related to trading, investment products fees and commissions and investment banking revenues. Treasury and Corporate Support includes the Company's investment and residential mortgage portfolios, funding, capital management and asset securitization activities, interest rate risk management, the net effect of transfer pricing related to loan and deposit balances, and the change in residual allocations associated with the provision for credit losses. It also includes business activities managed on a corporate basis, including income and expense of enterprise-wide operations and administrative support functions. Treasury and Corporate Support recorded a pre-tax operating loss of $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared to a loss of $141.3 million in the first quarter of 2000 and a loss of $131.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2000. Included in this business segment in the first quarter of 2001 were approximately $208 million of securities gains partially offset by $36.8 million of unusual expense items.

Average earning assets for the period increased over the first quarter of 2000 by $7.3 billion, or 5.3 percent, primarily driven by core commercial and retail loan growth of $9.3 billion and the impact of acquisitions, offset by a $3.7 billion decline in lower margin residential mortgages.

Total average loans for the first quarter, excluding residential mortgage loans, but including loans funded in the loan conduit, grew by $11.7 billion, or 11.1 percent, over the first quarter of 2000. Excluding residential mortgage loans, average loans for the first quarter of 2001 remained essentially flat to the fourth quarter 2000. Total average loans, excluding residential mortgage loans, (MORE) 13 U.S. Bancorp Reports First Quarter 2001 Results April 17, 2001 Page 10 but including loans funded in the loan conduit, grew by $1.1 billion, or .9 percent, in the first quarter of 2001 over the fourth quarter of 2000. Total loans, excluding residential mortgage loans, at March 31, 2001, were $2.4 billion lower than at December 31, 2000, reflecting the $1.3 billion sale of a portfolio of high loan-to-value home equity loans and the indirect automobile portfolio held by the former U.S. Bancorp, in addition to the transfer of $2.2 billion of commercial loans into the loan conduit. Investment securities at March 31, 2001, were $1.2 billion less than at March 31, 2000, and $1.1 billion less than at December 31, 2000, primarily reflecting net sales of securities. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company sold $8.7 billion of investment securities and purchased $6.5 billion of investment securities. Average noninterest-bearing deposits in the first quarter of 2001 were slightly lower than the first quarter of 2000. Average interest-bearing deposits, however, grew by $3.1 billion, or 4.0 percent, over the first quarter of 2000, reflecting bank acquisitions, growth in core money market deposits and increases in time deposits greater than $100,000.

Excluding the impact of securities gains, noninterest income in the first quarter of 2001 would have been essentially flat to the first quarter of 2000, and $73.0 million, or 5.8 percent, lower than the fourth quarter of 2000. Credit card and payment processing revenue was higher in the first quarter of 2001 over the same period of 2000 by $30.8 million, or 14.1 percent, reflecting continued growth in corporate, merchant and retail card product fees. Deposit service charges, cash management fees, commercial product revenue, and mortgage banking revenue also improved in the first quarter of 2001 over the first quarter of 2000 by $23.1 million (18.7 percent), $5.0 million (7.0 percent), $14.5 million (23.5 percent), and $5.5 million (12.9 percent), respectively. The increases in deposit service charges, cash management fees and commercial product revenue were primarily driven by growth in core business and product fee enhancements during 2000. The increase in mortgage banking revenue in the first quarter of 2001 over the first quarter of 2000 was due to an increase in origination fees, partially offset by a decrease in gains on the sale of servicing (MORE) 15 U.S. Bancorp Reports First Quarter 2001 Results April 17, 2001 Page 12 rights. Offsetting the growth in these items year over year was a reduction in capital markets (primarily U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and U.S. Bancorp Libra) and trust and asset management-related revenues, which declined by approximately $100 million from the first quarter of 2000, reflecting adverse equity capital market conditions and declining asset values. Excluding the impact of securities gains and these market-driven revenues, first quarter of 2001 noninterest income would have increased by approximately $114 million, or 18.2 percent. Excluding securities gains, noninterest income declined in the first quarter of 2001 from the fourth quarter of 2000. Credit card and payment processing revenue decreased by $15.0 million, reflecting seasonal spending patterns. Mortgage banking revenue declined by $6.2 million, the result of lower gains on the sale of servicing rights, partially offset by growth in mortgage loan originations and servicing income. Given the current interest rate environment, the Company expects continued growth in revenue from mortgage loan originations in the second quarter. Approximately $45 million of the reduction in noninterest income in the first quarter of 2001 from the fourth quarter of 2000 was due to the decline in capital markets and trust and asset management-related revenue. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NONINTEREST EXPENSE TABLE 7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ($ in millions) PERCENT PERCENT 1Q 4Q 1Q CHANGE CHANGE 2001 2000 2000 1Q01/4Q00 1Q01/1Q00 -------------------------------------------------------- Salaries $ 590.5 $ 593.7 $ 629.6 (0.5) (6.2) Employee benefits 108.1 98.2 111.9 10.1 (3.4) Net occupancy 110.1 104.2 97.2 5.7 13.3 Furniture and equipment 76.9 76.2 76.7 0.9 0.3 Postage 46.9 44.2 44.6 6.1 5.2 Goodwill 70.5 64.2 58.4 9.8 20.7 Other intangible assets 43.9 37.8 37.4 16.1 17.4 Other 347.4 329.3 301.8 5.5 15.1 ------------------------------- Subtotal 1,394.3 1,347.8 1,357.6 3.5 2.7 Merger and restructuring-related charges 404.2 84.1 65.0 ------------------------------- Total noninterest expense $1,798.5 $1,431.9 $1,422.6 ------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (MORE) 16 U.S. Bancorp Reports First Quarter 2001 Results April 17, 2001 Page 13 Noninterest Expense First quarter noninterest expense, before merger and restructuring-related charges, totaled $1,394.3 million, an increase of $36.7 million, or 2.7 percent, from the first quarter of 2000. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily the result of unusual or nonrecurring expense items totaling $59.4 million, offset by net cost savings from acquisitions and a decline of approximately $56 million in expenses associated with the slow-down in capital market-related activities. Excluding the $59.4 million of unusual or nonrecurring expense items, before merger and restructuring-related charges, noninterest expense would have decreased in the first quarter of 2001 by $22.7 million, or 1.7 percent, from the first quarter of 2000. First quarter of 2001 noninterest expense, before merger and restructuring-related charges, was higher than the fourth quarter of 2000 by $46.5 million, or 3.5 percent, primarily due to the $59.4 million of unusual or nonrecurring expense items. Excluding unusual or nonrecurring expense items, before merger and restructuring-related charges, noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2001 would have declined by $12.9 million from the fourth quarter of 2000, primarily due to the reduction in capital-market related activities, partially offset by seasonally higher employee benefits and increases in net occupancy of $5.9 million (5.7 percent), goodwill expense of $6.3 million (9.8 percent) and other intangible expense of $6.1 million (16.1 percent). The increase in net occupancy, goodwill and other intangible expense was primarily due to the purchase of 41 branches in Tennessee on December 8, 2000, by the former Firstar.

Total merger and restructuring-related charges included $356.5 million of merger-related noninterest expense and $166.6 million in provision for credit losses associated with the Firstar/U.S. Bancorp merger, $22.6 million of restructuring expense for U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and $25.1 million of noninterest expense for other recent acquisitions, including Mercantile, the Tennessee branch purchase and Scripps Financial. The $356.5 million of merger-related noninterest expense associated with the Firstar/U.S. Bancorp merger included $123.6 million of severance and employee-related costs, $23.6 million of building and equipment costs, $60.6 million of investment banking and transaction costs, $76.0 million of contributions to charitable foundations, $15.0 million of non-credit related restructurings, $38.5 million for asset impairments and other costs and $19.2 million of conversion and integration expense. In addition, the Company recorded $166.6 million of merger-related provision for credit losses, which included $90.0 million of charge-offs taken on credits with pre-charge off commitments totaling $350 million. These charge-offs were taken to align risk management practices for larger commercial credits, align charge-off policies and to expedite the Company's transition out of a (MORE) 18 U.S. Bancorp Reports First Quarter 2001 Results April 17, 2001 Page 15 segment of the health care industry. The write-down of several large commercial loans, loans originally held separately by both Firstar and the former U.S. Bancorp, was primarily taken to allow the Company to exit or reduce these credits to conform with the credit exposure policy of the combined entity. An additional $76.6 million of provision for credit losses was included in the merger-related provision for credit losses to account for the sale of a portfolio of high loan-to-value home equity loans and the indirect automobile loan portfolio of the former U.S. Bancorp. The balance of these portfolios totaled approximately $1.3 billion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGNIFICANT ITEMS - CREDIT INITIATIVES TABLE 9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ($ in millions) PROVISION --------------------------- NET CHARGE-OFFS OPERATING "GAAP" AND LOAN SALES BASIS* BASIS ------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY OF NET CHARGE-OFFS Merger-related items $ 90.0 $ 90.0 Charge-offs related to consumer loans sold 21.3 Accelerated commercial workout strategy 160.0 $160.0 160.0 Baseline charge-offs 205.8 205.8 205.8 ------------------------------------------------ 477.1 365.8 455.8 Losses from consumer loans sold 113.6 76.6 ------------------------------------------------ Total $590.7 $365.8 $532.4 ------------------------------------------------ * excluding merger-related charges ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In response to significant changes in the securities markets during the past six months, including increased volatility, changes in equity valuations, a slow down in the market for new and secondary issuances of equity, and the increasingly competitive environment for the industry, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray is restructuring its operations. The restructuring is expected to improve the operating efficiency of the individual businesses by removing excess capacity from the product distribution system and by implementing new, more effective operating models. Of the $26.0 million of total restructuring expense to be incurred in 2001, $22.6 million was expensed in the first quarter of 2001. Total merger-related expenses associated with the merger of the former Firstar and the former U.S. Bancorp are expected to be $970 million, exceeding the original estimate of $800 million by $170 million. The majority of the increase is due to risk management policy conformance and the restructuring of the credit portfolio, which were not anticipated at the time the merger was announced. This credit portfolio restructuring, however, is expected to enhance the overall credit risk profile of the Company. In addition, cost savings associated with the merger of Firstar and the former U.S. (MORE) 19 U.S. Bancorp Reports First Quarter 2001 Results April 17, 2001 Page 16 Bancorp are also expected to be higher than the original estimate of $266 million. The Company now anticipates that cost savings from the merger will be approximately $325 million, with an accelerated phase-in of the cost savings in 2001. Along with the additional cost savings, the Company has identified revenue enhancements that were not originally included in the transaction economics. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES TABLE 10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ($ in millions) 1Q2001 ---------------------------- 4Q 3Q 2Q 1Q "NORMALIZED*" ACTUAL 2000 2000 2000 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, beginning of period $1,786.9 $1,786.9 $1,776.6 $1,757.0 $1,726.1 $1,710.3 Net charge-offs Commercial 53.9 270.3 69.0 68.9 68.5 49.4 Lease financing 6.4 19.6 7.2 4.8 5.6 3.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total commercial 60.3 289.9 76.2 73.7 74.1 52.5 Commercial mortgages 3.1 28.5 6.8 0.7 (2.7) 0.2 Construction and development 0.8 0.8 3.9 5.8 (1.6) (0.4) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total commercial real estate 3.9 29.3 10.7 6.5 (4.3) (0.2) Residential mortgages 3.2 3.2 3.0 2.3 2.3 4.8 Credit card 57.8 57.8 54.4 52.4 52.8 48.7 Retail leasing 6.2 6.2 4.6 3.7 2.6 1.9 Other retail 95.7 90.7 80.6 75.3 71.4 75.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total retail 159.7 154.7 139.6 131.4 126.8 126.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total net charge-offs 227.1 477.1 229.5 213.9 198.9 183.1 Provision for credit losses 282.4 532.4 229.5 214.0 201.3 183.2 Losses from consumer loan sales (113.6) (113.6) -- -- -- -- Acquisitions and other changes 0.5 0.5 10.3 19.5 28.5 15.7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, end of period $1,729.1 $1,729.1 $1,786.9 $1,776.6 $1,757.0 $1,726.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net charge-offs to average loans (%) 0.76 1.59 0.75 0.71 0.68 0.64 Allowance for credit losses to period-end loans (%) 1.45 1.45 1.46 1.46 1.48 1.50 * categories adjusted for merger-related ($90.0 million) and portfolio restructuring-related ($160.0 million) net-charge-offs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (MORE) 20 U.S. Bancorp Reports First Quarter 2001 Results April 17, 2001 Page 17 Credit Quality The allowance for credit losses was $1,729.1 million at March 31, 2001, lower than the allowance for credit losses of $1,786.9 million at December 31, 2000, principally due to reductions related to the sale of a portfolio of high loan-to-value home equity loans and indirect automobile loans. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 176 percent at March 31, 2001, down from the ratio of 233 percent at December 31, 2000.

Total net charge-offs, before merger-related items, included $160.0 million of charge-offs taken on credits with pre-charge off commitments totaling $480 million related to the Company's accelerated loan workout strategy. Total retail loan net charge-offs of $154.7 million were higher than the same period of 2000 by $28.7 million, or 22.8 percent, and $15.1 million, or 10.8 percent, more than the fourth quarter of 2000.
