All Information in the preceding tables is presented on a basis prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), unless otherwise indicated. Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation. None of the prior period financial information was materially misstated.

(A)
|
|
Represents net income, less (i) earnings allocated to participating share awards of $2 million, $11 million, $11 million, $10 million and $6 million in Q4'17, Q3'17, Q2'17, Q1'17 and Q4'16, respectively, and full year of $21 million and $43 million for the years ending December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively; and (ii) dividends on preferred shares of $20 million, $21 million, $19 million, $21 million and $19 million in Q4'17, Q3'17, Q2'17, Q1'17 and Q4'16, respectively, and full year of $81 million and $80 million for the years ending December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

(B)
|
|
Within assets, "other" includes the following items as presented in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets: Other receivables, Other loans (including merchant financing loans), Premises and equipment and Other assets; and within liabilities, "other" includes the following items: Travelers Cheques and other prepaid products, Accounts payable and Other liabilities.
|
|
(C)
|
|
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. Refer to Appendix I for components of return on average equity and return on average common equity.
|
|
(D)
|
|
These ratios represent preliminary estimates for the current period as of the date of Fourth Quarter 2017 Earnings Release and may be revised in the Company's 2017 Form 10-K for period ended December 31, 2017.
|
|
(E)
|
|
The Company is required to calculate a Supplementary Leverage Ratio, which is defined as Tier 1 Capital divided by Total Leverage Exposure. The Total Leverage Exposure reflects average total consolidated assets with adjustments for Tier 1 Capital deductions and includes off-balance sheet derivatives exposures, repo-style transactions and credit equivalents of undrawn commitments that are both conditionally and unconditionally cancellable.
|
|
(F)
|
|
Presented for the purpose of calculating the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio.
|
|
(G)
|
|
Estimated Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Tier 1 Capital, Risk-Weighted Assets and Average Total Assets for Supplementary Leverage Capital purposes under the fully phased-in Basel III rules reflect the Company's current interpretation of the fully phased-in Basel III rules using the standardized approach. The estimated fully phased-in Basel III amounts could change in the future if the Company's business changes.
|
|
(H)
|
|
The Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio under the fully phased-in Basel III rules is calculated as Common Equity Tier 1 Capital under fully phased-in Basel III rules divided by estimated Risk-Weighted Assets under fully phased-in Basel III rules.
|
|
(I)
|
|
The Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio under the fully phased-in Basel III rules is calculated as Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital under the fully phased-in Basel III rules divided by estimated Risk-Weighted Assets under the fully phased-in Basel III rules.
|
|
(J)
|
|
The fully phased-in Basel III Supplementary Leverage Ratio is calculated by dividing fully phased-in Basel III Tier 1 Capital by Total Leverage Exposure (refer to Footnote E for a definition of Total Leverage Exposure).
|
|
(K)
|
|
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 cobrand portfolios in GNS, from which the Company earns no revenue, is not included. Card billed business is reflected in the United States or outside the United States based on where the issuer is located.
|
|
(L)
|
|
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 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 cobrand Card Member accounts that have no out-of-store spend activity during the prior 12-month period.
|
|
(M)
|
|
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 divided by average worldwide proprietary cards-in-force.
|
|
(N)
|
|
This calculation is generally designed to reflect pricing at merchants accepting general-purpose American Express cards. It represents the percentage of billed business (generated from both proprietary and GNS Card Member spending) retained by the Company from merchants it acquires, or for merchants acquired by a third party on its behalf, net of amounts retained by such third party.
|
|
(O)
|
|
Effective December 1, 2015, the Company reclassified the Card Member loans and receivables related to its cobrand partnerships with Costco in the U.S. and JetBlue, to reflect them as Held for Sale (HFS) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The loans were reclassified at their net carrying amount, inclusive of the related reserves for losses. Accordingly, Card Member loans and receivables and the related credit metrics are presented excluding the HFS loans and receivables for periods subsequent to the reclassification through the sale completion dates.
|
|
(P)
|
|
Provisions for principal, interest and/or fee reserve components.
|
|
(Q)
|
|
Consists of principal, interest and/or fees, less recoveries.
|
|
(R)
|
|
Card Member loans includes a reserve of $60 million related to loan balances of $245 million in Q2'16, reclassified from HFS to held for investment. In addition, Other includes foreign currency translation adjustments and other items for all periods.
|
|
(S)
|
|
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.
|
|
(T)
|
|
GCP includes global, large and middle markets corporate accounts.
|
|
(U)
|
|
See Appendix II for calculations of net interest yield on average Card Member loans, a non-GAAP measure, and net interest income divided by average Card Member loans, a GAAP measure, and the Company's rationale for presenting net interest yield on average Card Member loans.
|
|
(V)
|
|
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 the foreign exchange rates used to determine results for Q4'17 apply to the period(s) against which such results are being compared). 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.
|
|
(W)
|
|
Captions not designated as "proprietary" or "GNS" include both proprietary and GNS data.
|
|
(X)
|
|
Included in ICNS.
|
|
(Y)
|
|
Included in USCS.
|
|
(Z)

|
Included in GCS.
|
|
(AA)
|
|
GSBS includes small business in the U.S. and international small business services.
|
|
(AB)
|
|
Effective Q3'17, GSBS loans and associated metrics include small business in the U.S. and international small business services. Prior to Q3'17, due to certain system limitations, international small business services loans and associated credit metrics were reported within the international consumer business, in the ICNS segment, which were insignificant to both ICNS and GCS.
|

(AC)
|
|
Primarily represents interest expense attributable to maintaining our corporate liquidity pool and funding Card Member receivables.
|
|
(AD)
|
|
Primarily represents interest income attributable to Other loans, interest-bearing deposits and our Travelers Cheque and other stored-value investment portfolio.
|
|
(AE)
|
|
Adjusted net interest income, a non-GAAP measure that represents net interest income attributable to our Card Member loans and loans HFS (which includes, on a GAAP basis, interest that is deemed uncollectible), excluding the impact of interest expense and interest income not attributable to our Card Member loans. The Company believes adjusted net interest income is useful to investors because it represents the interest expense and interest income attributable to our Card Member loan portfolio and is a component of net interest yield on average Card Member loans, which provides a measure of profitability of our Card Member loan portfolio.
|
|
(AF)
|
|
Net interest income divided by average Card Member loans, computed on an annualized basis, a GAAP measure, 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 average Card Member loans.
|
|
(AG)
|
|
Net interest yield on average Card Member loans, a non-GAAP measure that is computed by dividing adjusted net interest income by average loans, computed on an annualized basis. Reserves and net write-offs related to uncollectible interest are recorded through provisions for losses and are thus not included in the net interest yield calculation. The Company believes net interest yield on average Card Member loans is useful to investors because it provides a measure of profitability of the Company's Card Member loan portfolio.
|
|
(AH)
|
|
Represents estimated Discount revenue from Costco in the U.S. for spend on American Express cards and from other merchants for spend on the Costco cobrand card as well as Other fees and commissions and Interest income from Costco cobrand Card Members.
