FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tues., July 21, 1998
WELLS FARGO REPORTS INCREASE IN SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS
EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $3.91 VS. $3.62 IN FIRST QUARTER 1998
CASH EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $5.21 VS. $4.92 IN FIRST QUARTER 1998
SAN FRANCISCO -- Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE:WFC) today reported
earnings per share for the quarter of $3.91, compared with $3.62 for the
first quarter of 1998 and $2.49 for the second quarter of 1997. Return on
average assets (ROA) was 1.45 percent and return on average common equity
(ROE) was 10.66 percent for the quarter, compared with 1.34 percent and 10.07
percent, respectively, for the first quarter of 1998. In the year-ago
period, ROA was .92 percent and ROE was 6.88 percent.
Cash earnings per share were $5.21 for the second quarter of 1998,
compared with $4.92 for the first quarter of 1998 and $3.79 for the second
quarter of 1997. Cash ROA was 2.11 percent and cash ROE was 37.78 percent for
the second quarter of 1998, compared with 1.98 percent and 37.46 percent,
respectively, for the first quarter of 1998. In the year-ago period, cash ROA
was 1.51 percent and cash ROE was 29.27 percent. Cash earnings are earnings
before the amortization of goodwill and nonqualifying core deposit intangible.
"The company continues to see solid growth in our core businesses
resulting in strong revenue momentum. The areas of Small Business and Middle
Market Lending, Auto Leasing, and Capital Markets have been especially
strong," said Chairman Paul Hazen. "This sustained growth enables us to enter
the merger with Norwest with confidence and optimism."
Net income was $337 million for the second quarter of 1998,
compared with $315 million for the first quarter of 1998 and $228 million for
the second quarter of 1997.
Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $1.154
billion in the second quarter of 1998, compared with $1.130 billion in the
first quarter of 1998 and $1.150 billion in the second quarter of 1997. The
Company's net interest margin for the second quarter of 1998 was 6.22
percent, compared with 6.01 percent in the first quarter of 1998 and 5.93
percent in the second quarter of 1997. The increase from a year ago was
primarily due to interest received on previously charged off loans and
reduced levels of low-yielding securities.

2/WF Earnings
Noninterest income (NII) in the second quarter of 1998 was $735
million, compared with $726 million in the first quarter of 1998 and $679
million in the second quarter of 1997. The increase from a year ago was
primarily due to a $58 million gain on the sale of the mortgage servicing
business and higher fee income, largely offset by increased losses on
dispositions of premises and equipment and a $33 million write-down of auto
lease residuals.
Noninterest expense (NIE) in the second quarter of 1998 was $1.097
billion, compared with $1.092 billion in the first quarter of 1998 and $1.246
billion in the second quarter of 1997. The decrease from a year ago was
mostly due to a decrease in operating losses.
The loan loss provision was $170 million for the second quarter of
1998, compared with $180 million for the first quarter of 1998 and $140
million for the second quarter of 1997. Net charge-offs in the second
quarter of 1998 totaled $165 million, or 1.02 percent of average loans
(annualized). In the first quarter of 1998, net charge-offs totaled $178
million, or 1.11 percent of average loans (annualized). In the second
quarter of 1997, net charge-offs totaled $212 million, or 1.32 percent of
average loans (annualized). The largest category of net charge-offs was
credit card loans for all periods presented.
At June 30, 1998, the allowance for loan losses of $1.835 billion
equaled 2.85 percent of total loans, compared with 2.84 percent at March 31,
1998 and 2.82 percent at June 30, 1997. Total nonaccrual and restructured
loans were $517 million at June 30, 1998, compared with $512 million at March
31, 1998 and $612 million at June 30, 1997. Foreclosed assets were $127
million at June 30, 1998, compared with $155 million at March 31, 1998 and
$194 million at June 30, 1997.
At June 30, 1998, the Company's preliminary risk-based capital
ratios were 11.95 percent for total risk-based capital and 8.10 percent for
Tier 1 risk-based capital, exceeding the minimum regulatory guidelines of 8
percent and 4 percent, respectively. The preliminary leverage ratio at June
30, 1998 was 7.55 percent. The ratio of common equity to total assets at
June 30, 1998 was 13.60 percent.
