Exhibit 99
Wells Fargo and Company's financial results for the quarter ended
December 31, 1999
Wells Fargo & Company reported net income of $970 million for the fourth
quarter of 1999, compared with a loss of $194 million for the fourth quarter
of 1998. Net income for the full year of 1999 was $3,747 million, compared
with $1,950 million a year ago. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share
were $.58 for the fourth quarter of 1999 and $2.23 for the full year of 1999,
compared with $(.12) and $1.17 for the same periods of 1998.
Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.85 percent for both the fourth
quarter and the full year of 1999. Return on average common equity (ROE) was
17.84 percent for the fourth quarter of 1999 and 17.66 percent for the full
year of 1999.
Diluted cash earnings (loss) were $.68 per share for the fourth quarter
of 1999 and $2.56 per share for the full year of 1999, compared with ($.04)
per share and $1.50 per share for the same periods of 1998. Cash earnings
are earnings before the amortization of goodwill and nonqualifying core
deposit intangible (related primarily to the 1996 acquisition of First
Interstate Bancorp). Cash return on average assets was 2.24 percent for the
fourth quarter of 1999 and 2.22 percent for the full year of 1999. Cash
return on average tangible common equity was 34.20 percent for the fourth
quarter of 1999 and 34.08 percent for the full year of 1999.
Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $2,412 million in
the fourth quarter of 1999, compared with $2,315 million for the same quarter
a year ago and $9,419 million for the full year of 1999, compared with $9,049
million in 1998. The net interest margin was 5.61 percent for the fourth
quarter of 1999 and 5.66 percent for the full year of 1999, compared with
5.60 percent and 5.79 percent for the same periods of 1998.
Noninterest income in the fourth quarter of 1999 was $2,071 million,
compared with $1,557 million in the same quarter of 1998, an increase of 33
percent. For the full year of 1999, noninterest income was $7,420 million,
compared with $6,427 million in 1998, an increase of 15 percent. The majority
of the increase for the fourth quarter of 1999 was due to the non-cash
venture capital gain of about $560 million related to the Company's venture
capital investment in Cerent Corporation, partially offset by a loss on the
sales of investment securities and a write-down of auto lease residuals.
Noninterest expense was $2,657 million in the fourth quarter of 1999,
compared with $3,482 million in the same quarter of 1998, a decrease of 24
percent. For the full year of 1999, noninterest expense was $9,782 million,
compared with $10,579 million in 1998, a decrease of 8 percent. The decrease
in noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 1999 was due to fourth
quarter 1998 merger-related and other charges of approximately $1.15 billion,
partly offset by $55 million of expenditures for store platform conversions
in
<PAGE>
-2-
the fourth quarter of 1999, along with $34 million of additional
expenditures, primarily for Internet and other technology investments and $40
million of asset write-downs.
The provision for loan losses was $275 million for the fourth quarter of
1999, compared with $624 million for the same period in 1998. Net
charge-offs totaled $274 million, or .93 percent of average loans
(annualized), in the fourth quarter of 1999. Net charge-offs totaled $686
million, or 2.56 percent of average loans (annualized), for the fourth
quarter of 1998. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the loan loss
provision was $1,045 million and net charge-offs totaled $1,049 million, or
.94 percent of average loans, compared with a loan loss provision of $1,545
million and net charge-offs of $1,617 million, or 1.52 percent of average
loans for the full year of 1998.
At December 31, 1999, the allowance for loan losses of $3,170 million
was 2.65 percent of total loans, compared with 2.90 percent at December 31,
1998. Total nonaccrual and restructured loans were $669 million at December
31, 1999, compared with $710 million at December 31, 1998.

The following appears in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995:
This discussion of financial results may contain forward-looking
statements about the Company, including descriptions of plans or objectives
of its management for future operations, products or services, and forecasts
of its revenues, earnings or other measures of economic performance.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not
relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include the words
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate" or words of
similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would,"
"should," "could" or "may."
Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and
uncertainties. A number of factors--many of which are beyond the Company's
control--could cause actual conditions, events or results to differ
significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. The
Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1999,
describe some of these factors, including certain credit, market,
operational, liquidity, interest rate, and Year 2000 risks associated with
the Company's business and operations. Other factors described in the
Company's September 30, 1999 Form 10-Q include changes in business and
economic conditions, competition, fiscal and monetary policies,
disintermediation, legislation including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999,
the combination of the former Norwest Corporation and the former Wells Fargo
& Company, and other mergers and acquisitions.
There are other factors besides these that could cause actual
conditions, events or results to differ significantly from those described in
the forward-looking statements or otherwise affect in the future the
Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1999. Goodwill amortization
