(A)  Card billed business includes activities (including cash advances) related to proprietary cards, cards issued under network partnership agreements (non-proprietary billed business), and certain insurance fees charged on proprietary cards.  In-store spend activity within retail co-brand portfolios in Global Network Services, from which the Company earns no revenue, is not included in non-proprietary billed business.  Card billed business is reflected in the United States or outside the United States based on where the cardmember is domiciled.

(B)  Total cards-in-force represents the number of cards that are issued and outstanding.  Proprietary basic consumer cards-in-force includes basic cards issued to the primary account owner and does not include additional supplemental cards issued on that account.  Proprietary basic small business and corporate cards-in-force include basic and supplemental cards issued to employee cardmembers.  Non-proprietary cards-in-force includes all cards that are issued and outstanding under network partnership agreements, except for retail co-brand cardmember accounts that have no out-of-store spend activity during the prior 12 month period.

(C)  This calculation is designed to reflect pricing at merchants accepting general purpose American Express cards.  It represents the percentage of billed business (both proprietary and Global Network Services) retained by the Company from merchants it acquires, prior to payments to third parties unrelated to merchant acceptance.

(D)  Average basic card member spending and average fee per card are computed from proprietary card activities only. Average fee per card is computed based on net card fees, including the amortization of deferred direct acquisition costs divided by average worldwide proprietary cards-in-force.  The adjusted average fee per card, which is a non-GAAP measure, is computed in the same manner, but excludes amortization of deferred direct acquisition costs. The amount of amortization excluded was $66 million and $64 million for the quarters ended June  30, 2013 and 2012. The Company presents adjusted average fee per card because the Company believes this metric presents a useful indicator of card fees pricing across a range of its proprietary card products.

(A) Provisions for principal (resulting from authorized transactions) and fee reserve components.

(B) Provisions for unauthorized transactions.

(C) Consists of principal (resulting from authorized transactions), interest and/or fees, less recoveries.

(D) For cardmember receivables, includes net write-offs resulting from unauthorized transactions of $(40) million and $(30) million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively; foreign currency translation adjustments of $(4) million and $(5) million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively; and other items of $(1) million and $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For cardmember loans, includes net write-offs resulting from unauthorized transactions of $(30) million and $(25) million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively; foreign currency translation adjustments of $(10) million and $(11) million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively; and other items of $(1) million and $(4) million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(E)  The Company presents a net write-off rate based on principal losses only (i.e., excluding interest and/or fees) to be consistent with industry convention.  In addition, because the Company's practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of its total provision for losses, a net write-off rate including principal, interest and/or fees is also presented.

(F)  See Appendix III for calculations of net interest yield on cardmember loans, a non-GAAP measure, and net interest income divided by average loans, a GAAP measure, and the Company's rationale for presenting net interest yield on cardmember loans.

(A) Card billed business includes activities (including cash advances) related to proprietary cards, cards issued under network partnership agreements (non-proprietary billed business), and certain insurance fees charged on proprietary cards.  In-store spend activity within retail co-brand portfolios in Global Network Services, from which the Company earns no revenue, is not included in non-proprietary billed business.  Card billed business is reflected in the United States or outside the United States based on where the cardmember is domiciled.

(B) Total cards-in-force represents the number of cards that are issued and outstanding.  Proprietary basic consumer cards-in-force includes basic cards issued to the primary account owner and does not include additional supplemental cards issued on that account.  Proprietary basic small business and corporate cards-in-force include basic and supplemental cards issued to employee cardmembers.  Non-proprietary cards-in-force includes all cards that are issued and outstanding under network partnership agreements, except for retail co-brand cardmember accounts that have no out-of-store spend activity during the prior 12 month period.

(C) This calculation is designed to reflect pricing at merchants accepting general purpose American Express cards.  It represents the percentage of billed business (both proprietary and Global Network Services) retained by the Company from merchants it acquires, prior to payments to third parties unrelated to merchant acceptance.

(D) Average basic card member spending and average fee per card are computed from proprietary card activities only. Average fee per card is computed based on net card fees, including the amortization of deferred direct acquisition costs divided by average worldwide proprietary cards-in-force.  The adjusted average fee per card, which is a non-GAAP measure, is computed in the same manner, but excludes amortization of deferred direct acquisition costs. The amount of amortization excluded for these periods was $66 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, $65 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, $63 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, $65 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and $64 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The Company presents adjusted average fee per card because the Company believes this metric presents a useful indicator of card fee pricing across a range of its proprietary card products.

(A) Segment capital represents capital allocated to a segment based upon specific business operational needs, risk measures, and regulatory capital requirements.

(B) Refer to Appendix II for components of return on average segment capital and return on average tangible segment capital, a non-GAAP measure.

(C) The Company presents a net write-off rate based on principal losses only (i.e., excluding interest and/or fees) to be consistent with industry convention.  In addition, because the Company's practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of its total provision for losses, a net write-off rate including principal, interest and/or fees is also presented.

(D)  See Appendix IV for calculations of net interest yield on cardmember loans, a non-GAAP measure, and net interest income divided by average loans, a GAAP measure, and the Company's rationale for presenting net interest yield on cardmember loans.

(A) Return on average equity and return on average common equity are calculated by dividing one year period net income/net income attributable to common shareholders by one year average total shareholders’ equity/average common shareholders' equity, respectively.

(B) Return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, is computed in the same manner as return on average common equity except the computation of average tangible common shareholders' equity, a non-GAAP measure, excludes from average total shareholders' equity, average goodwill and other intangibles. The Company believes that return on average tangible common equity is a useful measure of the profitability of its business.

(A)  Adjusted net interest income, a non-GAAP measure, represents net interest income allocated to the Company's cardmember loan portfolio excluding the impact of interest expense and interest income not attributable to the Company's cardmember loan portfolio. The Company believes adjusted net interest income is useful to investors because it is a component of net interest yield on cardmember loans.
 
(B)  Adjusted average loans, a non-GAAP measure, represents average cardmember loans excluding the impact of deferred card fees, net of deferred direct acquisition costs of cardmember loans, and other. The Company believes adjusted average loans is useful to investors because it is a component of net interest yield on cardmember loans.
 
(C)  This calculation includes elements of total interest income and total interest expense that are not attributable to the cardmember loan portfolio, and thus is not representative of net interest yield on cardmember loans. The calculation includes interest income and interest expense attributable to investment securities and other interest-bearing deposits as well as to cardmember loans, and interest expense attributable to other activities, including cardmember receivables.
 
(D)  Net interest yield on cardmember loans, a non-GAAP measure, is computed by dividing adjusted net interest income by adjusted average loans, computed on an annualized basis.  The calculation of net interest yield on cardmember loans includes interest that is deemed uncollectible. For all presentations of net interest yield on cardmember loans, reserves and net write-offs related to uncollectible interest are recorded through provisions for losses - cardmember loans; therefore, such reserves and net write-offs are not included in the net interest yield calculation. The Company believes net interest yield on cardmember loans is useful to investors because it provides a measure of profitability of the Company's cardmember loan portfolio.
