Appendix III(Preliminary)
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.
(A)Represents net income, less (i) earnings allocated to participating share awards of $14 million, $12 million, $14 million, $15 million and $16 million in Q1'23, Q4'22, Q3'22, Q2'22 and Q1'22, respectively; and (ii) dividends on preferred shares of $14 million, $14 million, $14 million, $15 million and $14 million in Q1'23, Q4'22, Q3'22, Q2'22 and Q1'22, respectively.
(B)Within assets, "other" includes the following items as presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets: Other loans, less reserves for credit losses (including merchant financing loans), Premises and equipment and Other assets (including Other receivables); and within liabilities, "other" includes the following items: Accounts payable and Other liabilities.
(C)Return on Average Equity (ROE) is calculated by dividing annualized net income for the period by average shareholders' equity for the period. Return on Average Common Equity (ROCE) is calculated by dividing annualized net income attributable to common shareholders for the period by average common shareholders' equity for the period.
(D)Presented for the purpose of calculating the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio.
(E)Network volumes represent our total volumes. Billed business represents transaction volumes from payment products issued by American Express. Processed volumes represent transaction volumes from cards issued by network partners and those associated with alternative payment solutions.
(F)Cards-in-force represent the number of cards that are issued and outstanding by American Express (proprietary cards-in-force) and cards issued and outstanding under network partnership agreements with banks and other institutions. Basic cards-in-force excludes supplemental cards issued on consumer accounts. Cards-in-force is useful in understanding the size of our Card Member base.
(G)Average fee per card is computed on an annualized basis based on proprietary net card fees divided by average proprietary total cards-in-force.
(H)FX-adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of conversion into U.S. dollars (e.g., assumes the foreign exchange rates used to determine results for the current period apply to the corresponding prior year period against which such results are being compared).
(I)Other includes foreign currency impact on balance sheet re-measurement and translation.
(J)Our practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of our total provision for credit losses and we therefore present a net write-off rate including principal, interest and/or fees. We also present a net write-off rate based on principal losses only to be consistent with industry convention.
(K)Net interest income divided by average Card Member loans, computed on an annualized basis, 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. Net interest yield on average Card Member loans, a non-GAAP measure, is computed by dividing adjusted net interest income (also a non-GAAP measure) by average Card Member loans, computed on an annualized basis. Adjusted net interest income represents net interest income attributable to our Card Member loans (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. Reserves and net write-offs related to uncollectible interest are recorded through provisions for credit losses, and thus not included in the net interest yield calculation. We believe that net interest yield on average Card Member loans is useful to investors because it provides a measure of profitability of our Card Member loan portfolio. See Appendix II for calculations of net interest income divided by average Card Member loans and net interest yield on average Card Member loans.
(L)Net write-off rate for principal losses only and 30+ days past due metrics represent consumer and small business, and are not available for corporate due to system constraints.
(M)Primarily represents interest expense attributable to maintaining our corporate liquidity pool and funding Card Member receivables.
(N)Primarily represents interest income attributable to Other loans, interest-bearing deposits and the fixed income investment portfolios.
