Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Overview

Earnings Summary U.S. Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) reported net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp of $2.0 billion for the third quarter of 2025, or $1.22 per diluted common share, compared with $1.7 billion, or $1.03 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2024. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 1.17 percent and 13.5 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2025, compared with 1.03 percent and 12.4 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2024.

Total net revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $465 million (6.8 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2024, reflecting a 2.1 percent increase in net interest income (2.0 percent on a taxable-equivalent basis) and a 14.1 percent increase in noninterest income. The increase in net interest income from the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to the favorable impact of the change in asset mix, fixed asset repricing and lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. The increase in noninterest income was driven by higher revenue across most categories.

Noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2025 was $7 million (0.2 percent) lower than the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower compensation and employee benefits expense, partially offset by higher technology and communications expense and other noninterest expense.

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2025 was $14 million (2.5 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to loan portfolio growth. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp for the first nine months of 2025 was $5.5 billion, or $3.35 per diluted common share, compared with $4.6 billion, or $2.77 per diluted common share, for the first nine months of 2024. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 1.10 percent and 12.9 percent, respectively, for the first nine months of 2025, compared with 0.94 percent and 11.6 percent, respectively, for the first nine months of 2024. The results for the first nine months of 2024 included the impact of $291 million ($218 million net-of-tax) of notable items, including $155 million of merger and integration charges associated with the acquisition of MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (“MUB”) and $136 million related to incremental FDIC special assessment charges. Combined, these items decreased diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of 2024 by $0.14.

Total net revenue for the first nine months of 2025 was $845 million (4.1 percent) higher than the first nine months of 2024, reflecting a 1.8 percent increase in net interest income and a 7.6 percent increase in noninterest income. The increase in net interest income from the first nine months of 2024 was primarily due to the favorable impact of the change in asset mix, fixed asset repricing and lower rates paid on

interest-bearing deposits. The increase in noninterest income was driven by higher revenue across most categories.

Noninterest expense in the first nine months of 2025 was $267 million (2.1 percent) lower than the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to the impact of merger and integration charges in the prior year and lower compensation and employee benefits expense, partially offset by higher technology and communications expense and marketing and business development expense.

The provision for credit losses for the first nine months of 2025 was $69 million (4.1 percent) lower than the first nine months of 2024, primarily driven by the impact of loan portfolio sales during the second quarter of 2025 and improved credit quality. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Statement of Income Analysis

Net Interest Income Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $4.3 billion in the third quarter and $12.5 billion in the first nine months of 2025, representing increases of $85 million (2.0 percent) and $220 million (1.8 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2024. The increases were primarily due to the favorable impact of the change in asset mix, fixed asset repricing and lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. Average earning assets for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 were $10.3 billion (1.7 percent) and $9.6 billion (1.6 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2024, reflecting increases in investment securities, loans and other earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing deposits with banks. The net interest margin, on a taxable-equivalent basis, in the third quarter of 2025 was 2.75 percent, compared with 2.74 percent in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to favorable asset mix and fix asset repricing. The net interest margin, on a taxable-equivalent basis, in the first nine months of 2025 was 2.71 percent, compared with 2.70 percent in the first nine months of 2024. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to improved asset mix and fixed asset repricing, partially offset by deposit mix. Refer to the “Consolidated Daily Average Balance Sheet and Related Yields and Rates” table for further information on net interest income.

Average total loans in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 were $5.1 billion (1.4 percent) and $5.6 billion (1.5 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2024. The increases were primarily due to higher commercial loans and credit card loans, partially offset by lower commercial real estate loans, other retail loans and residential mortgages. The increase in average commercial loans was primarily due to growth in loans to financial institutions. The increase in average credit card loans was primarily driven by higher spend volume. The decrease in average commercial real estate loans was primarily due to payoffs and loan

workout activities. The decrease in average other retail loans was driven by lower automobile loans, including the impact of a portfolio sale during the second quarter of 2025. Average residential mortgages decreased primarily due to a portfolio sale in the second quarter of 2025.

Average investment securities in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 were $6.5 billion (3.9 percent) and $7.4 billion (4.5 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2024.

Average total deposits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 were $3.0 billion (0.6 percent) higher and $1.5 billion (0.3 percent) lower, respectively, than the same periods of 2024. Average total savings deposits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 were $6.0 billion (1.6 percent) and $2.7 billion (0.7 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2024, primarily due to increases in Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking, and Consumer and Business Banking balances. Average noninterest-bearing deposits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 were $1.0 billion (1.3 percent) and $3.5 billion (4.2 percent) lower, respectively, than the same periods of 2024, driven by a decrease in Consumer and Business Banking balances. Average noninterest-bearing deposits further decreased in the first nine months of 2025, compared with the first nine months of 2024, due to a decrease in Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking balances. Average time deposits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 were $1.9 billion (3.2 percent) and $716 million (1.3 percent) lower, respectively, than the same periods of 2024, mainly due to a decrease in Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking balances. Changes in time deposits are primarily related to those deposits managed as an alternative to other funding sources, based largely on relative pricing and liquidity characteristics.

Provision for Credit Losses The provision for credit losses was $571 million in the third quarter of 2025, representing an increase of $14 million (2.5 percent) from the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to loan growth. Net charge-offs decreased $28 million (5.0 percent) in the third quarter of 2025, compared with the third quarter of 2024, driven by lower commercial and credit card loan net charge-offs. The provision for credit losses was $1.6 billion in the first nine

months of 2025, representing a decrease of $69 million (4.1 percent) from the first nine months of 2024, primarily driven by the impact of loan sales during the second quarter of 2025 and improved credit quality. Net charge-offs increased $47 million (3.0 percent) in the first nine months of 2025, compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to higher commercial real estate and other retail loan net charge-offs, partially offset by lower commercial loan net charge-offs. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Noninterest Income Noninterest income was $3.1 billion in the third quarter and $8.8 billion in the first nine months of 2025, representing increases of $380 million (14.1 percent) and $625 million (7.6 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2024. The increases from the prior year reflected higher trust and investment management fees, capital markets revenue, payment services revenue, service charges, mortgage banking revenue and other noninterest income. Trust and investment management fees increased primarily due to business growth and favorable market conditions. Capital markets revenue increased primarily due to higher syndication activity. Capital markets revenue also increased in the third quarter of 2025, compared with the third quarter of 2024, due to higher corporate bond underwriting fees. Payment services revenue increased primarily due to increases in merchant processing services and card revenue, both driven by higher sales volume. Service charges increased due to higher treasury management fees. Service charges also increased in the third quarter of 2025, compared with the third quarter of 2024, due to higher deposit service charges. Mortgage banking revenue increased in the third quarter of 2025, compared with the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), net of hedging activities. Other noninterest income increased primarily due to higher tax credit investment activity.

Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense was $4.2 billion in the third quarter and $12.6 billion in the first nine months of 2025, representing decreases of $7 million (0.2 percent) and $267 million (2.1 percent), respectively, from the same periods of 2024. The decreases from the prior year reflected lower compensation and employee benefits expense and lower net occupancy and equipment expense, partially offset by higher technology and communications expense. Noninterest expense further decreased in the first nine months of 2025, compared with the first nine months of 2024, due to the impacts in the prior year of merger and integration charges and the FDIC special assessment, partially offset by higher marketing and business development expense in the first nine months of 2025. Compensation and employee benefits expense decreased primarily due to cost savings from operational efficiencies, partially offset by merit increases. Net occupancy and equipment expense decreased due to cost savings from operational efficiencies. Technology and

communications expense increased primarily due to investments in infrastructure and technology development. Marketing and business development expense increased in the first nine months of 2025, compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to a charitable foundation contribution in the first quarter of 2025.

Income Tax Expense The provision for income taxes was $524 million (an effective rate of 20.7 percent) for the third quarter and $1.4 billion (an effective rate of 20.6 percent) for the first nine months of 2025, compared with $350 million (an effective rate of 16.9 percent) and $1.1 billion (an effective rate of 19.7 percent) for the same periods of 2024, respectively. The tax rate in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 reflected the impact of favorable settlements. For further information on income taxes, refer to Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Loans The Company’s loan portfolio was $382.5 billion at September 30, 2025, compared with $379.8 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $2.7 billion (0.7 percent). The increase was driven by higher commercial loans, partially offset by lower residential mortgages and other retail loans.

Commercial loans increased $8.9 billion (6.4 percent) at September 30, 2025, compared with December 31, 2024, primarily due to growth in loans to financial institutions.

Credit card loans increased $244 million (0.8 percent) at September 30, 2025, compared with December 31, 2024, primarily due to higher spend volume.

Residential mortgages held in the loan portfolio decreased $3.8 billion (3.2 percent) at September 30, 2025, compared with December 31, 2024, driven by a portfolio sale in the second quarter of 2025. Residential mortgages originated and placed in the Company’s loan portfolio include jumbo mortgages and branch-originated first lien home equity loans to borrowers with high credit quality.

Other retail loans decreased $2.1 billion (5.0 percent) at September 30, 2025, compared with December 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in automobile loans, including the impact of a portfolio sale during the second quarter of 2025.

Commercial real estate loans decreased $615 million (1.3 percent) at September 30, 2025, compared with December 31, 2024, primarily due to payoffs and loan workout activities.

The Company generally retains portfolio loans through maturity; however, the Company’s intent may change over time based upon various factors such as ongoing asset/liability management activities, assessment of product profitability, credit risk, liquidity needs, and capital implications. If the Company’s intent or ability to hold an existing portfolio loan changes, it is transferred to loans held for sale.

Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale, consisting primarily of residential mortgages to be sold in the secondary market, were $2.5 billion at September 30, 2025, compared with $2.6 billion at December 31, 2024. Almost all of the residential

mortgage loans the Company originates or purchases for sale follow guidelines that allow the loans to be sold into existing, highly liquid secondary markets, in particular in government agency transactions and to government sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”).

Investment Securities Investment securities totaled $166.0 billion at September 30, 2025, compared with $164.6 billion at December 31, 2024. The $1.4 billion (0.8 percent) increase was primarily due to a $1.7 billion favorable change in net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investment securities.

The Company’s available-for-sale investment securities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) unless a portion of a security’s unrealized loss is related to credit and an allowance for credit losses is necessary. At September 30, 2025, the Company’s net unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities were $5.1 billion ($3.8 billion net-of-tax), compared with net unrealized losses of $6.8 billion ($5.1 billion net-of-tax) at December 31, 2024. The favorable change in net unrealized gains (losses) was primarily due to increases in the fair value of U.S. treasury and mortgage-backed securities as a result of changes in interest rates. Gross unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities totaled $5.4 billion at September 30, 2025, compared with $6.9 billion at December 31, 2024. When evaluating credit losses, the Company considers various factors such as the nature of the investment security, the credit ratings or financial condition of the issuer, the extent of the unrealized loss, expected cash flows of the underlying collateral, the existence of any government or agency guarantees, and market conditions. At September 30, 2025, the Company had no plans to sell securities with unrealized losses, and believed it was more likely than not that it would not be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

(b)Information related to obligations of state and political subdivisions is presented based upon yield to first optional call date if the security is purchased at a premium, and yield to maturity if the security is purchased at par or a discount.

(c)Maturity calculations for obligations of state and political subdivisions are based on the first optional call date for securities with a fair value above par and the contractual maturity date for securities with a fair value equal to or below par.

(d)Amortized cost excludes portfolio level basis adjustments of $304 million at September 30, 2025 and $13 million at December 31, 2024.

(e)Weighted-average yields for obligations of state and political subdivisions are presented on a fully-taxable equivalent basis based on a federal income tax rate of 21 percent. Yields on investment securities are computed based on amortized cost balances, excluding any premiums or discounts recorded related to the transfer of investment securities at fair value from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity.

Deposits Total deposits were $526.1 billion at September 30, 2025, compared with $518.3 billion at December 31, 2024. The $7.8 billion (1.5 percent) increase in total deposits was primarily driven by an increase in noninterest-bearing deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $7.4 billion (8.8 percent) at September 30, 2025, compared with December 31, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking balances. Time deposits increased $257 million (0.5 percent) at September 30, 2025, compared with December 31, 2024, driven by higher Consumer and Business Banking balances, partially offset by lower Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking balances. Changes in time deposits are primarily related to those deposits managed as an alternative to other funding sources, based largely on relative pricing and liquidity characteristics. Savings account balances increased $17.8 billion (39.1 percent), driven by higher Consumer and Business Banking balances. Interest checking balances increased $4.0 billion (3.1 percent), primarily due to higher Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking balances. Money market deposit balances decreased $21.6 billion (10.4 percent), primarily due to lower Consumer and Business Banking, and Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking balances.

Borrowings The Company utilizes both short-term and long-term borrowings as part of its asset/liability management and funding strategies. Short-term borrowings, which include federal funds purchased, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, borrowings secured by high-grade assets and other short-term borrowings, were $15.4 billion at September 30, 2025, compared with $15.5 billion at December 31, 2024. The $69 million (0.4 percent) decrease in short-term borrowings was primarily due to decreases in short-term Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and repurchase agreement balances, partially offset by higher other short-term borrowing balances. Long-term debt was $62.5 billion at September 30, 2025, compared with $58.0 billion at December 31, 2024. The $4.5 billion (7.8 percent) increase was primarily due to $5.0 billion of medium-term note issuances, $1.9 billion of bank note issuances and $1.3 billion of credit-linked bank note issuances, partially offset by $2.2 billion of bank note and $1.5 billion of medium-term note repayments and maturities and a $500 million decrease in FHLB advances. Refer to the “Liquidity Risk Management” section for discussion of liquidity management of the Company.
