EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $4.03 VS. $3.91 IN SECOND QUARTER 1998
CASH EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $5.31 VS. $5.21 IN SECOND QUARTER 1998
SAN FRANCISCO -- Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE:WFC) today reported earnings
per share for the quarter of $4.03, compared with $3.91 for the second quarter
of 1998 and $3.26 for the third quarter of 1997. Return on average assets (ROA)
was 1.49 percent and return on average common equity (ROE) was 10.70 percent for
the quarter, compared with 1.45 percent and 10.66 percent, respectively, for the
second quarter of 1998. In the year-ago period, ROA was 1.18 percent and ROE
was 8.94 percent.
Cash earnings per share were $5.31 for the third quarter of 1998, compared
with $5.21 for the second quarter of 1998 and $4.57 for the third quarter of

quarter of 1998, compared with 2.11 percent and 37.78 percent, respectively, for
the second quarter of 1998. In the year-ago period, cash ROA was 1.81 percent
and cash ROE was 35.44 percent. Cash earnings are earnings before the
amortization of goodwill and nonqualifying core deposit intangible.
"We are pleased with our results and the strength of our numbers this
quarter," said Chairman Paul Hazen. "This final stand-alone performance
demonstrates the soundness of our franchise as we enter the merger with
Norwest."

$337 million for the second quarter of 1998 and $290 million for the third
quarter of 1997.

of 1997. The increase from a year ago was mostly due to an improvement in the
funding mix.

compared with $735 million in the second quarter of 1998 and $677 million in the

was due to service charges on deposit accounts and higher fees and commissions
income.
Noninterest expense (NIE) in the third quarter of 1998 was $1.088 billion,
