Wells Fargo earnings for Q1 2018

Wells Fargo said the Q1 2018 earnings results reported this morning are preliminary and may end up needing revisions “to reflect additional accruals for the CFPB/OCC matter,” which will be finalized in its 10-Q filing.

The firm said its net interest income ticked down by 1% year over year to $12.2 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $12.65 billion. Total average loans fell 1% year over year to $951 billion quarter over quarter. Average deposits fell $2 billion to $1.3 trillion. Net charge-offs fell $64 million to $741 million. Return on assets amounted to 1.26%, while return on equity was 12.37%.

Community banking revenue was essentially flat year over year at $11.8 billion, while wholesale banking revenue fell to $7.3 billion from $7.6 billion a year ago. Wealth and investment management revenue ticked down to $4.24 billion from $4.26 billion.

Wells Fargo had $1.6 trillion in retail client assets under management, a 4% year-over-year increase. Advisory assets were up 10% at $540 million. Client assets in the wealth management division increased 2% to $242 billion, while total assets under management in the asset management segment grew 3% to $497 billion. IRA assets increased 5% to $403 billion, while individual retirement plan assets grew 7% to $386 billion.

Wells Fargo stock jumps

The firm’s net interest margin held steady at 2.81%, but that missed the consensus, at 2.88%. Wells Fargo reported a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 12%. Net interest income fell $75 million quarter over quarter to $12.2 billion, as there were two fewer days in Q1 2018. Noninterest income fell $41 billion quarter over quarter to $9.7 billion.
