WELLS FARGO REPORTS $5.8 BILLION IN NET INCOME
Diluted EPS of $1.04, Revenue Up 3 Percent from Prior Year

Strong financial results:
Net income of $5.8 billion, compared with $5.9 billion in first quarter 2014
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.04, compared with $1.05
Revenue of $21.3 billion, up 3 percent
Pre-tax pre-provision profit1 of $8.8 billion, up 1 percent
Efficiency ratio of 58.8 percent, compared with 57.9 percent
Return on assets (ROA) of 1.38 percent and return on equity (ROE) of 13.17 percent
Strong growth in average loans and deposits:
Total average loans of $863.3 billion, up $39.5 billion, or 5 percent, from first quarter 2014
Quarter-end loans of $861.2 billion, up $34.8 billion, or 4 percent
Quarter-end core loans of $802.7 billion2, up $54.2 billion, or 7 percent
Total average deposits of $1.2 trillion, up $97.5 billion, or 9 percent
Continued strength in credit quality:
Net charge-offs of $708 million, down $117 million from first quarter 2014
Net charge-off rate of 0.33 percent (annualized), down from 0.41 percent
Nonaccrual loans down $2.1 billion, or 15 percent
$100 million reserve release3
Maintained strong capital levels4 and continued share repurchases:
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio under Basel III (Advanced Approach, fully phased-in) of 10.53 percent
Period-end common shares outstanding down 7.4 million from fourth quarter 2014
1 Pre-tax pre-provision profit (PTPP) is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that PTPP is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle.
2 See table on page 4 for more information on core and non-strategic/liquidating loan portfolios.
3 Reserve release represents the amount by which net charge-offs exceed the provision for credit losses.
4 See tables on pages 34-35 for more information on Common Equity Tier 1. Common Equity Tier 1 (Advanced Approach, fully phased-in) is estimated based on final rules adopted July 2, 2013, by the Federal Reserve Board establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations that would implement the Basel III capital framework and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.

SAN FRANCISCO – Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) reported net income of $5.8 billion, or $1.04 per diluted common share, for first quarter 2015, compared with $5.9 billion, or $1.05 per share, for first quarter 2014, and up from $5.7 billion, or $1.02 per share, for fourth quarter 2014.

“Our solid first quarter results again reflected the benefit of our diversified business model and the continued focus of our 266,000 team members on serving the needs of consumer and business customers," said Chairman and CEO John Stumpf. “We continued to strengthen our customer relationships in the quarter, as reflected in strong growth in deposits and primary checking customers. In addition, our mortgage business was able to serve more customers by refinancing their mortgage loans with lower rates. Capital levels remained strong, and we were pleased to receive a non-objection to our 2015 Capital Plan, which included a proposed increase in our dividend rate to $0.375 per common share in second quarter 2015, subject to Board approval.”

Chief Financial Officer John Shrewsberry added, “Wells Fargo earned $5.8 billion in first quarter 2015, an increase of $95 million from the prior quarter, including the benefit from lower income tax expense in the first quarter. Credit quality remained strong, as net charge-offs continued to decline. Expenses also decreased from the prior quarter and our efficiency ratio improved. We remained within our targeted ranges for ROA, ROE, efficiency ratio and net payout ratio, while maintaining record liquidity and capital levels."

Revenue
Revenue was $21.3 billion in the first quarter, compared with $21.4 billion in fourth quarter 2014, as higher noninterest income was more than offset by the decline in net interest income primarily due to two fewer days in the quarter. Revenue sources remained balanced between spread and fee income and the sources of fee income were diversified among our consumer and wholesale businesses.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income in first quarter 2015 declined $194 million on a linked-quarter basis to $11.0 billion primarily as a result of two fewer days relative to the fourth quarter of 2014. Additionally, interest income from variable sources, including purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loan resolutions and loan fees included in interest income, declined linked quarter. These impacts were partially offset by growth in average commercial and consumer loan balances, a modest increase in the duration of the commercial loan portfolio, and lower deposit and long-term debt costs.

Net interest margin was 2.95 percent, down 9 basis points from fourth quarter 2014. Approximately 5 basis points of the decrease was from customer driven deposit growth, which had minimal impact to net interest income but was dilutive to net interest margin, and 3 basis points of the decline was due to lower income from variable sources. The net impact of all other growth and repricing was neutral in the first quarter.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $10.3 billion, up $29 million from the prior quarter. Higher revenue from trading activities, debt security gains, mortgage origination gains and insurance was offset by lower other income (which included a $217 million gain on the sale of government guaranteed student loans in fourth quarter 2014), lower mortgage servicing income, and seasonally lower card fees and deposit service charges.

Trust and investment fees were $3.7 billion, down $28 million from the prior quarter. Higher retail brokerage asset-based fees and transaction revenue were offset by lower investment banking fees.

Mortgage banking noninterest income was $1.5 billion, up $32 million from fourth quarter. During the first quarter, residential mortgage originations were $49 billion, up $5 billion linked quarter, while the gain on sale ratio was 2.06 percent, up from 1.80 percent in fourth quarter. Net mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) results were $108 million, compared with $235 million in fourth quarter 2014.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense declined $140 million from the prior quarter to $12.5 billion, as seasonally higher employee benefits and incentive compensation of $688 million were offset by costs that typically decline in the first quarter including outside professional services ($252 million lower), equipment costs ($87 million lower) and advertising and promotion ($77 million lower). First quarter salary expense was $87 million lower than fourth quarter due to two fewer days in the quarter, and revenue-related compensation was $60 million lower, driven primarily by lower investment banking revenue. The efficiency ratio was 58.8 percent in first quarter 2015, an improvement



- 4 -

from 59.0 percent in fourth quarter 2014. The Company expects to operate within its targeted efficiency ratio range of 55 to 59 percent for full year 2015.

Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 28.2 percent for first quarter 2015, compared with 30.6 percent in the prior quarter. The tax rate for the first quarter reflected a net $359 million discrete tax benefit primarily from a reduction in the reserve for uncertain tax positions due to the resolution of prior period matters with U.S. federal and state taxing authorities.

Loans
Total average loans were $863.3 billion in the first quarter, up $13.8 billion from the fourth quarter, driven by broad-based loan growth. Period end loan balances were $861.2 billion at March 31, 2015, down $1.3 billion from December 31, 2014, due in part to a seasonal decline in credit card balances and the continued decline in junior lien mortgage loans. Fourth quarter 2014 loan growth included the acquisition of the Dillard's credit card portfolio as well as $6.5 billion from the financing related to the sale of government guaranteed student loans.

See table on page 32 for additional information on non-strategic/liquidating loan portfolios. Management believes that the above information provides useful disclosure regarding the Company’s ongoing loan portfolios.

Investment Securities
Investment securities were $324.7 billion at March 31, 2015, up $11.8 billion from fourth quarter. Purchases of approximately $23 billion (primarily U.S. Treasury, federal agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and municipal securities), were partially offset by run-off, a significant portion of which was in federal agency MBS.

Net unrealized available-for-sale securities gains of $7.9 billion at March 31, 2015 increased from $7.8 billion at December 31, 2014.

Deposits
Average total deposits for first quarter 2015 were $1.2 trillion, up 9 percent from a year ago, driven by both commercial and consumer growth. The average deposit cost for first quarter 2015 was 9 basis points, unchanged from the prior quarter and an improvement of 2 basis points from a year ago. Average core deposits were $1.1 trillion, up 9 percent from a year ago. Average mortgage escrow deposits were $28.4 billion, compared with $24.2 billion a year ago and $29.2 billion in fourth quarter 2014.

Capital
Capital levels remained strong in the first quarter, with Common Equity Tier 1 of $139.2 billion under Basel III (Standardized Approach with Transition Requirements), or 10.86 percent of risk-weighted assets. The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio under the Basel III (Advanced Approach, fully phased-in) framework was 10.53 percent4. During first quarter 2015, the Company purchased 48.4 million shares of its common stock and entered into a $750 million forward repurchase transaction for an additional 14.0 million shares, which settled in early April 2015. The Company also paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.35 per share, up from $0.30 per share a year ago.

On March 11, 2015, the Company received no objection from the Federal Reserve to its 2015 Capital Plan, which included a proposed dividend rate of $0.375 per common share for second quarter 2015, subject to Board approval. On March 31, 2015, the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced that the Company may begin using the Basel III Advanced Approaches capital framework to determine risk-based capital requirements starting in the second quarter of 2015. The approval did not include stipulations requiring Wells Fargo to increase its current Advanced Approach risk-weighted assets (RWA).
 
Credit Quality
“Credit losses were $708 million in first quarter 2015, compared with $735 million in fourth quarter 2014, a 4 percent improvement," said Chief Risk Officer Mike Loughlin. "The quarterly loss rate (annualized) was 0.33 percent with commercial losses of 0.04 percent and consumer losses of 0.60 percent. Nonperforming assets declined by $618 million, or 16 percent (annualized), from the prior quarter, and early stage delinquencies dropped. We released $100 million from the allowance for credit losses in the first quarter, reflecting continued credit quality improvement. Future allowance levels may increase or decrease based on a variety of factors, including loan growth, portfolio performance and general economic conditions."

Net Loan Charge-offs

Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing (excluding government insured/guaranteed) totaled $841 million at March 31, 2015, down from $920 million at December 31, 2014. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing with repayments insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or predominantly guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for mortgages and the U.S. Department of Education for student loans under the Federal Family Education Loan Program were $15.5 billion at March 31, 2015, down from $16.9 billion at December 31, 2014.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses, including the allowance for unfunded commitments, totaled $13.0 billion at March 31, 2015, down from $13.2 billion at December 31, 2014. The allowance coverage to total loans was 1.51 percent, compared with 1.53 percent in fourth quarter 2014. The allowance covered 4.5 times annualized first quarter net charge-offs, unchanged from the prior quarter. The allowance coverage to nonaccrual loans was 104 percent at March 31, 2015, compared with 103 percent at December 31, 2014. “We believe the allowance was appropriate for losses inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2015,” said Loughlin.

Community Banking reported net income of $3.7 billion, up $230 million, or 7 percent, from fourth quarter 2014. Revenue of $12.8 billion was flat compared with the prior quarter due to seasonally lower deposit service charges and card fees, and a non-recurring gain on sale of government guaranteed student loans in the prior quarter, partially offset by higher market sensitive revenue, mainly gains on sale of debt securities and equity investments. Noninterest expense decreased $217 million, or 3 percent, due to lower project spending, advertising, travel, and equipment expense, partially offset by seasonally higher personnel costs. The provision for credit losses increased $99 million from the prior quarter as a $59 million improvement in net charge offs was more than offset by a $158 million lower reserve release.

Net income was down $179 million, or 5 percent, from first quarter 2014. Revenue increased $191 million, or 2 percent, from a year ago primarily due to higher net interest income, gains on sale of debt securities, revenue from debit and credit card volumes, and trust and investment fees, partially offset by lower gains on equity investments and lower deposit service charges. Noninterest expense increased $290 million, or 4 percent, from a year ago driven by higher personnel expenses and operating losses, partially offset by lower travel, occupancy and other expenses. The provision for credit losses increased $198 million from a year ago as the $172 million improvement in net charge-offs was more than offset by a $370 million lower reserve release.

Wholesale Banking reported net income of $1.8 billion, down $173 million, or 9 percent, from fourth quarter 2014. Revenue of $5.9 billion decreased $142 million, or 2 percent, from prior quarter. Net interest income decreased $183 million, or 6 percent, as strong loan and other earning asset growth was more than offset by the impact of two fewer days in the quarter and lower loan resolution income. Noninterest income increased $41 million, or 1 percent, driven by strong sales and trading results, higher multi-family capital mortgage banking fees and seasonally higher crop insurance fees, partially offset by lower investment banking fees, commercial real estate brokerage fees and gains on equity investments. Noninterest expense increased $102 million, or 3 percent, linked quarter on seasonally higher personnel tax expense and seasonally higher insurance commissions. The provision for credit losses increased $33 million from prior quarter due to lower recoveries.

Net income was up $55 million, or 3 percent, from first quarter 2014. Revenue increased $332 million, or 6 percent, from first quarter 2014 on strong loan and deposit growth, and higher investment banking, commercial real estate brokerage, treasury management, foreign exchange and loan fees. Noninterest expense increased $194 million, or 6 percent, from a year ago primarily due to higher personnel expenses related to growth initiatives, compliance, regulatory requirements and higher variable incentive compensation. The provision for credit losses increased $87 million from a year ago primarily due to lower recoveries and a $23 million lower reserve release.

Average loans increased 12 percent in first quarter 2015, compared with first quarter 2014, on broad-based growth, including asset-backed finance, capital finance, commercial banking, commercial real estate, corporate banking, equipment finance, government and institutional banking, and real estate capital markets

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, we may make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed or furnished with the SEC, and our management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “target,” “projects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “can” and similar references to future periods. In particular, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about: (i) the future operating or financial performance of the Company, including our outlook for future growth; (ii) our noninterest expense and efficiency ratio; (iii) future credit quality and performance, including our expectations regarding future loan losses and allowance levels; (iv) the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses; (v) our expectations regarding net interest income and net interest margin; (vi) loan growth or the reduction or mitigation of risk in our loan portfolios; (vii) future capital levels and our estimated Common Equity Tier 1 ratio under Basel III capital standards; (viii) the performance of our mortgage business and any related exposures; (ix) the expected outcome and impact of legal, regulatory and legislative developments, as well as our expectations regarding compliance therewith; (x) future common stock dividends, common share repurchases and other uses of capital; (xi) our targeted range for return on assets and return on equity; (xii) the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings; and (xiii) the Company’s plans, objectives and strategies.
Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation:
 
current and future economic and market conditions, including the effects of declines in housing prices, high unemployment rates, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters, geopolitical matters, and the overall slowdown in global economic growth;
our capital and liquidity requirements (including under regulatory capital standards, such as the Basel III capital standards) and our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms;
financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses, including the Dodd-Frank Act and other legislation and regulation relating to bank products and services;
the extent of our success in our loan modification efforts, as well as the effects of regulatory requirements or guidance regarding loan modifications;
the amount of mortgage loan repurchase demands that we receive and our ability to satisfy any such demands without having to repurchase loans related thereto or otherwise indemnify or reimburse third parties, and the credit quality of or losses on such repurchased mortgage loans;
negative effects relating to our mortgage servicing and foreclosure practices, including our obligations under the settlement with the Department of Justice and other federal and state government entities, as well as changes in industry standards or practices, regulatory or judicial requirements, penalties or fines, increased servicing and other costs or obligations, including loan modification requirements, or delays or moratoriums on foreclosures;
our ability to realize our efficiency ratio target as part of our expense management initiatives, including as a result of business and economic cyclicality, seasonality, changes in our business composition and operating environment, growth in our businesses and/or acquisitions, and unexpected expenses relating to, among other things, litigation and regulatory matters;



- 14 -

the effect of the current low interest rate environment or changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held for sale;
a recurrence of significant turbulence or disruption in the capital or financial markets, which could result in, among other things, reduced investor demand for mortgage loans, a reduction in the availability of funding or increased funding costs, and declines in asset values and/or recognition of other-than-temporary impairment on securities held in our investment securities portfolio;
the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our investment banking business and our fee income from our brokerage, asset and wealth management businesses;
reputational damage from negative publicity, protests, fines, penalties and other negative consequences from regulatory violations and legal actions;
a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks;
the effect of changes in the level of checking or savings account deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;
fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board; and
the other risk factors and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the amount and timing of any future common stock dividends or repurchases will depend on the earnings, cash requirements and financial condition of the Company, market conditions, capital requirements (including under Basel capital standards), common stock issuance requirements, applicable law and regulations (including federal securities laws and federal banking regulations), and other factors deemed relevant by the Company’s Board of Directors, and may be subject to regulatory approval or conditions.
For more information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, refer to our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the discussion under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on its website at www.sec.gov.
Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
(2)
Pre-tax pre-provision profit (PTPP) is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that PTPP is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle.

The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
(2)
Pre-tax pre-provision profit (PTPP) is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that PTPP is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle.
(3)
Core deposits are noninterest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing checking, savings certificates, certain market rate and other savings, and certain foreign deposits (Eurodollar sweep balances).
(4)
Retail core deposits are total core deposits excluding Wholesale Banking core deposits and retail mortgage escrow deposits.
(5)
The March 31, 2015, ratios are preliminary.

Wells Fargo & Company and Subsidiaries
CHANGES IN ACCRETABLE YIELD RELATED TO PURCHASED CREDIT-IMPAIRED (PCI) LOANS

Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit impaired. PCI loans predominantly represent loans acquired from Wachovia that were deemed to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include statistics such as past due and nonaccrual status, recent borrower credit scores and recent LTV percentages. PCI loans are initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, the associated allowance for credit losses related to these loans is not carried over at the acquisition date.

As a result of PCI loan accounting, certain credit-related ratios cannot be used to compare a portfolio that includes PCI loans against one that does not, or to compare ratios across quarters or years. The ratios particularly affected include the allowance for loan losses and allowance for credit losses as percentages of loans, of nonaccrual loans and of nonperforming assets; nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans; and net charge-offs as a percentage of loans.

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the carrying value of PCI loans is referred to as the accretable yield and is accreted into interest income over the estimated lives of the PCI loans using the effective yield method. The accretable yield is affected by:
Changes in interest rate indices for variable rate PCI loans - Expected future cash flows are based on the variable rates in effect at the time of the quarterly assessment of expected cash flows;
Changes in prepayment assumptions - Prepayments affect the estimated life of PCI loans which may change the amount of interest income, and possibly principal, expected to be collected; and
Changes in the expected principal and interest payments over the estimated life - Updates to changes in expected cash flows are driven by the credit outlook and actions taken with borrowers. Changes in expected future cash flows from loan modifications are included in the regular evaluations of cash flows expected to be collected.

The change in the accretable yield related to PCI loans is presented in the following table.

The individual states shown in this table represent the top five states based on the total net carrying value of the Pick-a-Pay loans at the beginning of 2015.
(2)
Adjusted unpaid principal balance includes write-downs taken on loans where severe delinquency (normally 180 days) or other indications of severe borrower financial stress exist that indicate there will be a loss of contractually due amounts upon final resolution of the loan.
(3)
The current LTV ratio is calculated as the adjusted unpaid principal balance divided by the collateral value. Collateral values are generally determined using automated valuation models (AVM) and are updated quarterly. AVMs are computer-based tools used to estimate market values of homes based on processing large volumes of market data including market comparables and price trends for local market areas.
(4)
Carrying value, which does not reflect the allowance for loan losses, includes remaining purchase accounting adjustments, which, for PCI loans may include the nonaccretable difference and the accretable yield and, for all other loans, an adjustment to mark the loans to a market yield at date of merger less any subsequent charge-offs.
(5)
The ratio of carrying value to current value is calculated as the carrying value divided by the collateral value.

(1)
Basel III revises the definition of capital, increases minimum capital ratios, and introduces a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio. These changes are being fully phased in effective January 1, 2014, through the end of 2021. The capital ratios were determined using the Basel III definition of capital and the Basel III Standardized Approach RWAs as of March 31, 2015 and the general risk-based capital rules (General Approach) RWAs for 2014.
(2)
Under transition provisions to Basel III, cumulative other comprehensive income (previously deducted under Basel I) is included in CET1 over a specified phase-in period. In addition, certain intangible assets includable in CET1 are phased out over a specified period.
(3)
Goodwill and other intangible assets are net of any associated deferred tax liabilities.
(4)
CET1 (formerly Tier 1 common equity under Basel I) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies to assess the capital position of financial services companies. Management reviews CET1 along with other measures of capital as part of its financial analyses and has included this non-GAAP financial information, and the corresponding reconciliation to total equity, because of current interest in such information on the part of market participants.
(5)
Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor, or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total RWAs. The risk weights and categories were changed, and some were added, by Basel III for the Standardized Approach and will generally result in higher RWAs than result from the General Approach risk weights and categories.
(6)
The Company’s March 31, 2015, RWAs and capital ratios are preliminary.

Management reviews CET1 along with other measures of capital as part of its financial analyses and has included this non-GAAP financial information, and the corresponding reconciliation to total equity, because of current interest in such information on the part of market participants.
(2)
The Basel III CET1 and RWAs are estimated based on the Basel III capital rules adopted July 2, 2013, by the FRB. The rules establish a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations that implement the Basel III capital framework and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The rules are being phased in effective January 1, 2014 through the end of 2021.
(3)
Assumes cumulative other comprehensive income is fully phased in and certain other intangible assets are fully phased out under Basel III capital rules.
(4)
The final Basel III capital rules provide for two capital frameworks: the Standardized Approach intended to replace Basel I, and the Advanced Approach applicable to certain institutions. Under the final rules, we will be subject to the lower of our CET1 ratio calculated under the Standardized Approach and under the Advanced Approach in the assessment of our capital adequacy. While the amount of RWAs determined under the Standardized and Advanced Approaches has been converging, management’s estimate of RWAs as of March 31, 2015, is based on the Advanced Approach, which is currently estimated to be higher than RWAs under the Standardized Approach, resulting in a lower CET1 compared with the Standardized Approach. Basel III capital rules adopted by the Federal Reserve Board incorporate different classification of assets, with risk weights based on Wells Fargo’s internal models, along with adjustments to address a combination of credit/counterparty, operational and market risks, and other Basel III elements.
(5)
The Company’s March 31, 2015, RWAs and capital ratio are preliminary.

The management accounting process measures the performance of the operating segments based on our management structure and is not necessarily comparable with other similar information for other financial services companies. We define our operating segments by product type and customer segment.
(2)
Includes items not specific to a business segment and elimination of certain items that are included in more than one business segment, substantially all of which represents services for wealth management customers provided in Community Banking stores.
(3)
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of liabilities to fund those assets. Interest earned includes actual interest earned on segment assets and, if the segment has excess liabilities, interest credits for providing funding to other segments. The cost of liabilities includes interest expense on segment liabilities and, if the segment does not have enough liabilities to fund its assets, a funding charge based on the cost of excess liabilities from another segment.

(1)
The management accounting process measures the performance of the operating segments based on our management structure and is not necessarily comparable with other similar information for other financial services companies. We define our operating segments by product type and customer segment.
(2)
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of liabilities to fund those assets. Interest earned includes actual interest earned on segment assets and, if the segment has excess liabilities, interest credits for providing funding to other segments. The cost of liabilities includes interest expense on segment liabilities and, if the segment does not have enough liabilities to fund its assets, a funding charge based on the cost of excess liabilities from another segment.
(3)
Includes items not specific to a business segment and elimination of certain items that are included in more than one business segment, substantially all of which represents products and services for wealth management customers provided in Community Banking stores.

(1)
Includes repurchase demands of 7 and $1 million, 4 and $1 million, 7 and $1 million, 14 and $3 million, and 25 and $3 million at March 31, 2015, and December 31, September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2014, respectively, received from investors on mortgage servicing rights acquired from other originators. We generally have the right of recourse against the seller and may be able to recover losses related to such repurchase demands subject to counterparty risk associated with the seller.
(2)
As part of our representations and warranties in our loan sales contracts, we typically represent to GSEs and private investors that certain loans have mortgage insurance to the extent there are loans that have loan to value ratios in excess of 80% that require mortgage insurance. To the extent the mortgage insurance is rescinded by the mortgage insurer due to a claim of breach of a contractual representation or warranty, the lack of insurance may result in a repurchase demand from an investor. Similar to repurchase demands, we evaluate mortgage insurance rescission notices for validity and appeal for reinstatement if the rescission was not based on a contractual breach. When investor demands are received due to lack of mortgage insurance, they are reported as unresolved repurchase demands based on the applicable investor category for the loan (GSE or private).
(3)
While the original loan balances related to these demands are presented above, the establishment of the repurchase liability is based on a combination of factors, such as our appeals success rates, reimbursement by correspondent and other third party originators, and projected loss severity, which is driven by the difference between the current loan balance and the estimated collateral value less costs to sell the property.
