US Bancorp, the parent company of IBOS member US Bank, has reported a net revenue of $5,469 million and a net income of $1,675 million, 13.7% higher than Q1 2018.
Industry lending return on average assets of 1.50% and return on average common equity of 14.9%. Additionally, US Bancorp noted a return on tangible common equity of 19.3%.
Results for Q1 2018 included favourable tax matters partially offset by the impact of a transitional change in stock-based compensation vesting provisions, that combined, increased diluted earnings per common share by $0.01.
The increase in net income year-over-year was primarily due to total net revenue growth of 3.4% (3.9% excluding the impact of tax reform related to taxable-equivalent adjustments for tax exempt assets), including an increase in net interest income of 5.5%, mainly a result of the impact of rising interest rates and loan growth.
