Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed April 8, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
U.S. Bancorp (USB) filed an 8-K on April 8, 2026 under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD) to furnish unaudited supplemental historical financial information (Exhibit 99.1) reflecting changes to how it presents its income statement and balance sheet, effective January 1, 2026.
The changes are presentation-only: the company states they have no impact on historical total net revenues, provision for credit losses, operating expenses, net income, total loans, total assets, ROA, ROCE, or diluted EPS. The filing does not revise or restate any previously reported results, so investors should treat it as a recasting of line items rather than a change in reported performance. The main reclassifications are: 'Corporate payment products' is renamed 'Corporate payment and treasury management revenue' and absorbs treasury management fees (from Service charges) and stored-value card revenue (from Card revenue); 'Service charges' is renamed 'Lending and deposit-related fees' and absorbs loan and leasing fees from Capital markets; Impact Finance tax credit syndication fees move from Other noninterest income to Capital markets; and small business credit card loans move from Commercial loans to Credit card loans.
Debit card revenue moves from the Payment Services segment to Consumer and Business Banking. These moves change the mix of fee categories and segment attribution, which matters for analysts comparing fee growth across periods. Using the recast data, total noninterest income for Q4 2025 was $3,053 milliona versus $2,833 million in Q4 2024, and net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp was $2,045 million versus $1,663 million.
Total loans at December 31, 2025 were $391.3 billionb, up from $379.8 billion a year earlier, with credit card loans of $38.0 billion (up from $36.0 billion) partly reflecting the reclassification of small business cards. Because the supplement is unaudited and provided for illustrative purposes, analysts should use it to align historical comparisons rather than as a new source of reported results.

03—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this reclassification change U.S. Bancorp's reported earnings or profitability?
No. The company states the changes have no impact on historical total net revenues, provision for credit losses, operating expenses, net income, ROA, ROCE, or diluted EPS. It only moves revenue and loan amounts between line items and business segments.
Why did the company make these changes?
The company says the changes align financial reporting with how its businesses are managed, for example by grouping treasury management with corporate payments, moving debit cards to Consumer and Business Banking, and placing Impact Finance within the Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking segment.
Will prior-period results be restated?
No. The filing says the unaudited supplemental information conforms historical presentation to the new format but does not revise or restate previously reported consolidated results for any period. Exhibit 99.1 provides the recast quarterly data from Q1 2024 through Q4 2025.
How should investors use the supplemental data?
Investors should use it to compare fee categories, segment results, and loan categories on a consistent basis across periods. Because the data is unaudited and illustrative, it should not be treated as a substitute for the audited financial statements in the company's periodic reports.
Which reclassifications most affect loan and fee comparisons?
Small business credit cards moved from Commercial loans to Credit card loans, which lifts credit card balances and lowers commercial balances in the recast. On the fee side, treasury management fees moved into corporate payment revenue, and loan and leasing fees moved into lending and deposit-related fees, which changes the apparent growth of each category versus previously reported figures.
