New York – July 22, 2015 - American Express Company (NYSE: AXP) today reported second-quarter net income of $1.47 billion, down from $1.53 billion a year ago. Diluted earnings per share decreased 1 percent to $1.42, from $1.43 a year ago.
Results for the quarter were negatively affected by the significant impact of a stronger U.S. dollar on international operations. The year-ago quarter included business travel operations and a gain related to the business travel joint venture transaction.
Consolidated total revenues net of interest expense totaled $8.3 billion for the second quarter, down 4 percent from $8.6 billion a year ago. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates2 and business travel results in the year-ago period, adjusted revenues rose 5 percent.3 The increase primarily reflected higher Card Member spending and growth in the loan portfolio.

Represents net income less earnings allocated to participating share awards of $11 million and $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $22 million and $24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, net income is further reduced by dividends on preferred shares of $20 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. No preferred dividends were paid in 2014.

As reported in this release, FX adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of currency translations into U.S. dollars (i.e., assumes the foreign exchange rates used to determine results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 apply to the period(s) against which such results are being compared). Certain amounts included in the calculations of FX-adjusted revenues and expenses, which constitute non-GAAP measures, are subject to management allocations. The company believes the presentation of information on an FX adjusted basis is helpful to investors by making it easier to compare the company's performance in one period to that of another period without the variability caused by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
|
|

|
Adjusted revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure and excludes the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates and the company's business travel operations in Q2'14 from total revenues net of interest expense. Management believes this metric is useful in evaluating the ongoing operating performance of the company. See Appendix V in the selected statistical tables for a reconciliation to total revenues net of interest expense on a GAAP basis.

Consolidated provisions for losses totaled $467 million, down 4 percent from $489 million a year ago. The decrease reflected lower net write-offs in the current quarter, offset, in part, by the effect of a larger reserve release a year ago.
Consolidated expenses totaled $5.6 billion, down 4 percent (flat FX-adjusted2) from $5.8 billion a year ago. The year-ago quarter included business travel operations and the previously mentioned joint venture transaction gain (which was reported as an expense reduction). The gain was partially offset by several other year-ago items, including incremental investments, a restructuring charge and transaction-related costs.
The effective tax rate for the quarter remained unchanged from a year ago at 34 percent.
The company's return on average equity (ROE) was 28.1 percent, down from 28.8 percent a year ago.
"We delivered solid underlying earnings performance this quarter," said Kenneth I. Chenault, chairman and chief executive officer. "Disciplined expense control and a substantial return of capital to shareholders through share repurchases together with higher Card Member spending and loan volumes helped to mitigate the negative impact of a strong U.S. dollar and the year-ago benefits from Global Business Travel, which now operates as a joint venture.
"Against the backdrop of an uneven global economy, Card Member spending grew 6 percent, adjusted for FX, with strong performance in most international regions. Our credit metrics remained at, or near, historically low levels.
"Lower operating expenses this quarter largely offset the higher costs related to previously renewed co-brand partnerships.
"We continue to see opportunities across the company and this quarter marked the initial stage of a ramp up in investment spending on growth initiatives. As planned, we expect to increase our investments substantially in the second half of the year. Our focus will be on: acquiring new Card Members; gaining additional business from consumer, small business and middle market customers; expanding our presence internationally; growing our merchant network; building our loyalty coalition business; and introducing new digital capabilities."

|
(Preliminary)
|
|
|
All Information in the preceding tables is presented on a basis prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), unless otherwise indicated.
|
|
(A)
|
In Q1'15, the Company changed the classification related to certain payments to co-brand partners reducing both marketing and promotion and discount revenue. The misclassification in prior periods has been conformed to the current period presentation. The discount rate for prior periods has also been revised accordingly, resulting in a reduction of between zero and one basis point in any period from what was originally reported.
|
|
(B)
|
Represents net income, less (i) earnings allocated to participating share awards of $11 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, $11 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, $11 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, $11 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and $12 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014; and (ii) dividends on preferred shares of $20 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, and nil for all other comparative periods.
|
|
(C)
|
Refer to Appendix I for components of return on average equity, return on average common equity and return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure.
|
|
(D)
|
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 issuer is located.
|
|
(E)
|
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 Card Members. Non-proprietary cards-in-force includes all cards that are issued and outstanding under network partnership agreements, except for retail co-brand Card Member accounts that have no out-of-store spend activity during the prior 12 month period.
|
|
(F)
|
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.
|
|
(G)
|
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 $62 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, $83 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, $79 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, $77 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and $77 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. 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.
|
|
(H)
|
Provisions for principal (resulting from authorized transactions) and fee reserve components.
|
|
(I)
|
Consists of principal (resulting from authorized transactions), interest and/or fees, less recoveries.
|
|
(J)
|
Beginning in first quarter 2014, reserves related for card-related fraud losses are reflected in Other liabilities. All periods include foreign currency translation adjustments and other items.
|
|
(K)
|
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. Beginning in January 2015, timing of charge-offs for loans in certain modification programs changed from 180 days past due to 120 days past due. Excluding the impact of the change, which was fully recognized in the first quarter, the Q1'15 USCS/ICS Charge net write-off rate – principal only was 1.9% and the USCS Lending net write-off rate - principal only was 1.4%.
|
|
(L)
|
See Appendix III for quarterly calculations of net interest yield on Card Member 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 Card Member loans. For calculations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, please refer to Annex 3 of the Company's 2014 Fourth Quarter/ Full Year Earnings Supplement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
|
|
(M)
|
Segment capital represents capital allocated to a segment based upon specific business operational needs, risk measures, and regulatory capital requirements.
|
|
(N)
|
Refer to Appendix II for components of return on average segment capital and return on average tangible segment capital, a non-GAAP measure.
|
|
(O)
|
See Appendix IV for calculations of net interest yield on Card Member 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 Card Member loans.
|
|
(P)
|
Global 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.
|
|
(Q)
|
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.
|
|
(R)
|
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 common 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.
|
|
(S)
|
Return on average segment capital is calculated by dividing one year period segment income by one year average segment capital. Return on average tangible segment capital, a non-GAAP measure, is computed in the same manner as return on average segment capital except the computation of average tangible segment capital, a non-GAAP measure, excludes average goodwill and other intangibles. The Company believes that return on average tangible segment capital is a useful measure of the profitability of its business.
|
|
(T)
|
Adjusted net interest income, a non-GAAP measure, represents net interest income allocated to the Company's Card Member loan portfolio excluding the impact of interest expense and interest income not attributable to the Company's Card Member loan portfolio. The Company believes adjusted net interest income is useful to investors because it is a component of net interest yield on Card Member loans.
|
|
(U)
|
Adjusted average loans, a non-GAAP measure, represents average Card Member loans excluding the impact of deferred card fees, net of deferred direct acquisition costs of Card Member loans, and other. The Company believes adjusted average loans is useful to investors because it is a component of net interest yield on Card Member loans.
|
|
(V)
|
This calculation includes elements of total interest income and total interest expense that are not attributable to the Card Member loan portfolio, and thus is not representative of net interest yield on Card Member loans. The calculation includes interest income and interest expense attributable to investment securities and other interest-bearing deposits as well as to Card Member loans, and interest expense attributable to other activities, including Card Member receivables.
|
|
(W)
|
Net interest yield on Card Member 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 Card Member loans includes interest that is deemed uncollectible. For all presentations of net interest yield on Card Member loans, reserves and net write-offs related to uncollectible interest are recorded through provisions for losses - Card Member loans; therefore, such reserves and net write-offs are not included in the net interest yield calculation. The Company believes net interest yield on Card Member loans is useful to investors because it provides a measure of profitability of the Company's Card Member loan portfolio.
|
|
(X)
|
Revenue net of interest expense on an FX-adjusted basis and excluding the Company's business travel operations in Q2'14 is a non-GAAP measure. FX-adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of currency translation into U.S. dollars (i.e., assumes Q2'15 foreign exchange rates apply to Q2'14 results). Country results used to calculate FX-adjusted revenues, are subject to management allocations. Management believes this metric is useful in evaluating the ongoing operating performance of the Company. The Company's calculations of non-GAAP measures may differ from the calculations of similarly titled measures of other companies.
