In second quarter 2026, we generated $6.4 billion of net income and diluted earnings per common share (EPS) of $2.00, compared with $5.5 billion of net income and diluted EPS of $1.60 in the same period a year ago. In the first half of 2026, we generated $11.7 billion of net income and diluted EPS of $3.60, compared with $10.4 billion of net income and diluted EPS of $2.98 in the same period a year ago. Financial performance for the second quarter and first half of 2026, compared with the same periods a year ago, included the following:
•total revenue increased due to higher noninterest income and higher net interest income;
•noninterest expense increased due to higher technology, telecommunications and equipment expense, advertising and promotion expense, and personnel expense, partially offset by lower other noninterest expense;
•average loans increased due to growth in our commercial and industrial portfolio; and
•average deposits increased driven by growth in interest-bearing deposits.
Capital and Liquidity
We maintained a strong capital and liquidity position in the first half of 2026, which included the following:
•our Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 10.26% under the Standardized Approach (our binding framework), which continued to exceed the regulatory minimum and buffers of 8.50%;
•our total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets was 22.81%, compared with the regulatory minimum of 21.50%; and
•our liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 119%, which continued to exceed the regulatory minimum of 100%.
See the “Capital Management” and the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Liquidity Risk and Funding” sections in this Report for additional information regarding our capital and liquidity, including the calculation of our regulatory capital and liquidity amounts.

Overview (continued)
Credit Quality
Credit quality reflected the following:
•The allowance for credit losses (ACL) for loans of $14.4 billion at June 30, 2026, increased $70 million from December 31, 2025.
•Our provision for credit losses for loans was $2.1 billion in the first half of 2026, compared with $1.9 billion in the same period a year ago, and included an increase in the allowance reflecting a higher allowance for commercial and industrial and auto loans driven by higher loan balances, partially offset by a lower allowance for commercial real estate loans.
•The allowance coverage for total loans was 1.40% at June 30, 2026, compared with 1.45% at December 31, 2025, reflecting a decrease in the allowance for our commercial real estate portfolio driven by improved credit performance.
•Commercial portfolio net loan charge-offs were $156 million, or 10 basis points of average commercial loans, in second quarter 2026, compared with net loan charge-offs of $247 million, or 18 basis points, in the same period a year ago, driven by lower losses in our commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios.
•Consumer portfolio net loan charge-offs were $720 million, or 74 basis points of average consumer loans, in second quarter 2026, compared with net loan charge-offs of $750 million, or 81 basis points, in the same period a year ago, due to lower losses in our credit card and other consumer portfolios, partially offset by higher losses in our auto portfolio.
•Nonperforming assets (NPAs) of $7.9 billion at June 30, 2026, decreased $559 million from December 31, 2025, driven by lower commercial real estate nonaccrual loans. NPAs represented 0.77% of total loans at June 30, 2026.

Earnings Performance
Wells Fargo net income for second quarter 2026 was $6.4 billion ($2.00 diluted EPS), compared with $5.5 billion ($1.60 diluted EPS) in the same period a year ago. Net income increased in second quarter 2026, compared with the same period a year ago, predominantly due to a $1.2 billion increase in noninterest income and a $609 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $486 million increase in income tax expense and a $282 million increase in noninterest expense.
Wells Fargo net income for the first half of 2026 was $11.7 billion ($3.60 diluted EPS), compared with $10.4 billion ($2.98 diluted EPS) in the same period a year ago. Net income increased in the first half of 2026, compared with the same period a year ago, predominantly due to a $1.9 billion increase in noninterest income and a $1.2 billion increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $721 million increase in noninterest expense and a $655 million increase in income tax expense.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased in both the second quarter and first half of 2026, compared with the same periods a year ago, driven by lower average deposit costs, higher loan and investment securities balances, the impact of lower interest rates and balance sheet growth in our Corporate and Investment
Banking Markets (Markets) business, as well as higher interest-bearing commercial deposits, partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on floating rate assets and lower noninterest-bearing deposits.
Net interest margin decreased in both the second quarter and first half of 2026, compared with the same periods a year ago, driven by growth in lower-yielding assets in our Markets business as well as growth in interest-bearing deposits.
We also evaluate the Company’s net interest income excluding the net interest income of our Markets business. Markets net interest income includes interest income earned on the assets and interest expense paid on the liabilities of the line of business, as well as funding charges and credits using our funds transfer pricing methodology. Net interest income excluding Markets is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is useful because it enables management, investors, and others to assess the net interest income from the Company’s lending, investing, and deposit-raising activities without the volatility that may be associated with Markets activities. Table 1 provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure.

Earnings Performance (continued)
Table 2 presents the individual components of net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis in Table 2 to consistently reflect income from taxable and tax-exempt assets. The calculation for taxable-equivalent basis was based on a federal statutory tax rate of 21%.
For additional information about net interest income and net interest margin, see the “Earnings Performance – Net Interest Income” section in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Operating Segment Results
Our management reporting is organized into four reportable operating segments: Consumer Banking and Lending; Commercial Banking; Corporate and Investment Banking; and Wealth and Investment Management. All other business activities that are not included in the reportable operating segments have been included in Corporate. We define our reportable operating segments based on the product or service provided and the type of customer served, and their results are based on our management reporting process. The management reporting process measures the performance of the reportable operating segments based on the Company’s management structure, and the results are regularly reviewed with our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and relevant senior management. The management reporting process is based on U.S. GAAP and includes specific adjustments, such as funds transfer pricing for asset/liability management, shared revenue and expenses, and taxable-equivalent adjustments to consistently reflect income from taxable and tax-exempt sources, which allows management to assess performance consistently across the operating segments.
Funds Transfer Pricing. Corporate treasury manages a funds transfer pricing methodology that considers interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other product characteristics. Operating segments pay a funding charge for their assets and receive a funding credit for their deposits, both of which are included in net interest income. The net impact of the funding charges or credits is recognized in corporate treasury.
Revenue Sharing and Expense Allocations. When lines of business jointly serve customers, the line of business that is responsible for providing the product or service recognizes revenue or expense with a referral fee paid or an allocation of cost to the other line of business based on established internal revenue-sharing agreements.
When a line of business uses a service provided by another line of business, expense is generally allocated based on the cost and use of the service provided. Enterprise functions, such as operations, technology, and risk management, are included in Corporate with an allocation of their applicable costs to the reportable operating segments based on the level of support provided by the enterprise function. We periodically assess and update our revenue sharing and expense allocation methodologies.
Taxable-Equivalent Adjustments. Taxable-equivalent adjustments related to tax-exempt income on certain loans and debt securities are included in net interest income, while taxable-equivalent adjustments related to income tax credits for affordable housing and renewable energy investments are included in noninterest income, in each case with corresponding impacts to income tax expense (benefit). Adjustments are included in Corporate, Commercial Banking, and Corporate and Investment Banking and are eliminated to reconcile to the Company’s consolidated financial results.
Allocated Capital. Reportable operating segments are allocated capital under a risk-sensitive framework that is primarily based on aspects of our regulatory capital requirements, and the assumptions and methodologies used to allocate capital are periodically assessed and updated. Management believes that return on allocated capital is a useful financial measure because it enables management, investors, and others to assess a reportable operating segment’s use of capital.
Selected Metrics. We present certain financial and nonfinancial metrics that management uses when evaluating reportable operating segment results. Management believes that these metrics are useful to investors and others to assess the performance, customer growth, and trends of reportable operating segments or lines of business.

Second quarter and first half of 2026 vs. second quarter and first half of 2025
Total loans (average and period-end) increased due to:
•an increase in loan balances in our Auto business driven by higher origination volumes reflecting growth across the portfolio, including the impact of a financing partnership launched in second quarter 2025;
•an increase in loan balances in our Consumer, Small and Business Banking business driven by the impact of the transfer of certain business customers from the Commercial Banking operating segment in third quarter 2025; and
•an increase in loan balances in our Credit Card business due to higher purchase and balance transfer volumes, as well as the impact of new account growth;
partially offset by:
•a decline in loan balances in our Home Lending business reflecting paydowns of legacy residential mortgage loans.
Total deposits (average and period-end) increased reflecting growth in consumer checking and savings deposits, as well as the impact of the transfer of certain business customers from the Commercial Banking operating segment in third quarter 2025.

Earnings Performance (continued)
Advisory Assets. In addition to transactional brokerage accounts, the Company offers advisory account relationships to clients. Fees from advisory accounts are based on a percentage of the market value of the assets as of the beginning of the quarter, which vary across the account types based on the distinct services provided, and are affected by investment performance as well as asset inflows and outflows. Advisory accounts include assets that are financial advisor-directed and separately managed by third-party managers as well as certain client-directed brokerage assets where we earn a fee for advisory and other services, but do not have investment discretion.
We also manage personal trust and other assets for high net worth clients, with fee income earned based on a percentage of the market value of these assets.
Table 6h presents advisory assets activity. Management believes that advisory assets is a useful metric because it allows management, investors, and others to assess how changes in asset amounts may impact the generation of certain asset-based fees.

Table 7 presents a summary of our portfolio of investments in available-for-sale (AFS) and held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities. See Note 2 (Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities) to Financial Statements in this Report for additional information on AFS and HTM debt securities, including a summary of debt securities by security type, contractual maturities and weighted average yields. See also the “Balance Sheet Analysis – Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities” section in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on our investment management objectives and practices and the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management” section in this Report for information on liquidity and interest rate risk.
The amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses, of the total AFS and HTM debt securities portfolio increased from December 31, 2025. Purchases of AFS debt securities were partially offset by paydowns and maturities of AFS and HTM debt securities, as well as sales of AFS debt securities.
The total net unrealized losses on AFS and HTM debt securities increased from December 31, 2025, primarily due to changes in interest rates.
At June 30, 2026, 99% of the combined AFS and HTM debt securities portfolio was rated AA- or above. Ratings are based on external ratings where available and, where not available, based on internal credit grades.

Loan Portfolios
Table 8 provides a summary of total outstanding loans by portfolio segment. Commercial loans increased from December 31, 2025, driven by an increase in commercial and industrial loans as a result of increased originations and loan
draws, partially offset by paydowns. Consumer loans increased from December 31, 2025, driven by increases in the auto and securities-based loan portfolios, partially offset by declines in the residential mortgage and credit card portfolios.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business, we engage in financial transactions that are not recognized on our consolidated balance sheet or may be recognized on our consolidated balance sheet in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. Our off-balance sheet arrangements include unfunded credit commitments, derivatives, transactions with unconsolidated entities, guarantees, and other commitments. These transactions are designed to (1) meet the financial needs of customers, (2) manage our credit, market or liquidity risks, and/or (3) diversify our funding sources.
Unfunded Credit Commitments
Unfunded credit commitments are legally binding agreements to lend to customers with terms covering usage of funds, contractual interest rates, expiration dates, and any required collateral. The maximum credit risk for these commitments will generally be lower than the contractual amount because these commitments may expire without being used or may be cancelled at the customer’s request. Our credit risk monitoring activities include managing the amount of commitments, both to individual customers and in total, and the size and maturity structure of these commitments. For additional information, see Note 3 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Derivatives
We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk, commodity and equity price risk, foreign currency risk, and credit risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. Derivatives are recognized on our consolidated balance sheet at fair value, and volume can be measured in terms of the notional amount, which is generally not exchanged, but is used only as the basis on which interest and other payments are determined. The notional amount is not recognized on our consolidated balance sheet and is not, when viewed in isolation, a meaningful measure of the risk profile of the instruments. For additional information, see Note 10 (Derivatives) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Transactions with Unconsolidated Entities
In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with special purpose entities (SPEs), which are corporations, trusts, limited liability companies or partnerships that are established for a limited purpose. Generally, SPEs are formed in connection with securitization transactions and are considered variable interest entities (VIEs). For additional information, see Note 12 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Guarantees and Other Commitments
Guarantees are contracts that contingently require us to make payments to a guaranteed party based on an event or a change in an underlying asset, liability, rate or index. Guarantees are generally in the form of standby and direct pay letters of credit, written options, recourse obligations, exchange and clearing house guarantees, indemnifications, and other types of similar arrangements. We also enter into other commitments such as commitments to purchase securities under resale agreements. For additional information, see Note 13 (Guarantees and Other Commitments) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Wells Fargo & Company 25
Risk Management
Wells Fargo manages a variety of risks that can significantly affect our financial performance and our ability to meet the expectations of our customers, shareholders, regulators and other stakeholders. These risks are regularly evolving. For example, recent advancements in artificial intelligence have enhanced the capability to identify and potentially exploit previously unidentified cybersecurity vulnerabilities, contributing to increased information security risk across a range of customers and industries.
For additional information about how we manage risk, see the “Risk Management” section in our 2025 Form 10-K. The discussion that follows supplements our discussion of the management of certain risks contained in the “Risk Management” section in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a borrower or counterparty default (failure to meet obligations in accordance with agreed upon terms). Credit risk exists with many of the Company’s assets and exposures such as debt security holdings, certain derivatives, and loans.
The Risk Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (Board) has primary oversight responsibility for credit risk. At the management level, Corporate Credit Risk, which is part of Independent Risk Management, and the chief risk officers aligned with each principal line of business, have oversight responsibility for credit risk. Corporate Credit Risk and the business-aligned chief risk officers report to the Chief Risk Officer and support periodic reports related to credit risk provided to the Board’s Risk Committee.
Loan Portfolio. Our loan portfolios represent the largest component of assets on our consolidated balance sheet for which we have credit risk. Table 10 presents our total loans outstanding by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable.

We manage our credit risk by establishing what we believe are sound credit policies for underwriting new business, while monitoring and reviewing the performance of our existing loan portfolios. We employ various credit risk management and monitoring activities to mitigate risks, including those related to:
•Loan concentrations;
•Borrower or counterparty performance and related credit risk;
•Economic and market conditions;
•Changes in interest rates; and
•Legislative or regulatory mandates.
Our credit risk management oversight process is governed centrally, but provides for direct management and accountability by our lines of business. Our overall credit process includes comprehensive credit policies, disciplined credit underwriting, frequent and detailed risk measurement and modeling, extensive credit training programs, and a continual loan review and audit process.
A key to our credit risk management is adherence to a well-controlled underwriting process, which we believe is appropriate for the needs of our customers as well as investors who purchase the loans or securities collateralized by the loans.

The following discussion provides additional information and analysis of our loan portfolios. See Note 3 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report for more analysis and credit information.
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LOANS AND LEASE FINANCING. We generally subject commercial and industrial loans and lease financing to individual risk assessment using our internal borrower and collateral quality ratings. Our ratings are aligned to regulatory definitions of pass and criticized categories with criticized segmented among special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss categories.
We had $16.9 billion classified as criticized in accordance with regulatory guidance for our commercial and industrial loans and lease financing portfolio at June 30, 2026, compared with $15.9 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase was predominantly driven by loans in the technology, telecom and
26 Wells Fargo & Company
media and the equipment, machinery, and parts manufacturing industries.
Generally, the primary source of repayment for our commercial and industrial loans and lease financing portfolio is the operating cash flows of customers, with the collateral securing this portfolio representing a secondary source of repayment. The majority of this portfolio is secured by short-term assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory, and debt securities, as well as long-lived assets, such as equipment and other business assets.
Loans to our largest industry category, financials except banks, are generally secured and have features to help manage credit
risk, such as structural credit enhancements, collateral eligibility requirements, contractual re-margining of collateral supporting the loans, and loan amounts limited to a percentage of the value of the underlying assets considering underlying credit risk, asset duration, and ongoing performance.
Table 12 provides our commercial and industrial loans and lease financing by industry using the North American Industry Classification System. The portfolio increased at June 30, 2026, compared with December 31, 2025, as a result of increased originations and loan draws, partially offset by paydowns.

7.In second quarter 2026, we reclassified prime brokerage and other margin loans to clients of the Corporate and Investment Banking operating segment from Other to Securities-based. We also reclassified securities-based loans to clients of the Wealth and Investment Management operating segment from various industry categories, including the Technology, telecom and media and Insurance and fiduciaries industry categories, to Securities-based. Securities-based loans are collateralized by securities in client accounts. Prior period balances have been revised to conform with the current period presentation.
8.No other category had total loans in excess of $8.4 billion and $8.3 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Our commercial and industrial loans and lease financing portfolio included non-U.S. loans of $81.9 billion and $81.0 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Significant industry concentrations of non-U.S. loans at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively, included:
•$40.3 billion and $38.0 billion in the financials except banks industry (prior period balance has been revised to conform with the current period presentation for securities-based loans);
•$13.2 billion and $13.7 billion in the securities-based industry;
•$8.3 billion and $8.2 billion in the banks industry; and
•$2.0 billion and $1.8 billion in the oil, gas and pipelines industry.

Risk Management – Credit Risk Management (continued)
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE (CRE). Our CRE loan portfolio is composed of CRE mortgage and CRE construction loans. The total CRE loan portfolio at June 30, 2026, was stable compared with December 31, 2025. Unfunded credit commitments were $6.2 billion at both June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, for CRE mortgage loans and $11.8 billion and $9.2 billion, respectively, for CRE construction loans.
The portfolio is diversified both geographically and by property type. At June 30, 2026, the five states with the largest geographic concentrations of CRE loans, as shown in Table 13, represented a combined 51% of the total CRE portfolio. The largest property type concentrations were apartments at 27% and industrial/warehouse at 22% of the portfolio at June 30, 2026.
We generally subject CRE loans to individual risk assessment using our internal borrower and collateral quality ratings and classify them as criticized in accordance with regulatory guidance. CRE mortgage loans classified as criticized were $11.8 billion and $13.4 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. CRE construction loans classified as criticized were $1.2 billion and $1.7 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. The decrease in criticized CRE loans was primarily driven by the office, apartments, and industrial/warehouse property types.
Table 13 provides our CRE loans by state and property type.

NON-U.S. LOANS. Our classification of non-U.S. loans is based on whether the borrower’s primary address is outside of the United States. At June 30, 2026, non-U.S. loans totaled $87.0 billion, representing approximately 8% of our total consolidated loans outstanding, compared with $86.7 billion, or approximately 9% of our total consolidated loans outstanding, at December 31, 2025. Non-U.S. loans were approximately 4% of our total consolidated assets at both June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
COUNTRY RISK EXPOSURE. Our country risk monitoring process incorporates centralized monitoring of economic, political, social, legal, and transfer risks in countries where we do or plan to do business, along with frequent dialogue with our customers, counterparties and regulatory agencies. We establish exposure limits for each country through a centralized oversight process based on customer needs, and through consideration of the relevant and distinct risk of each country. We monitor exposures closely and adjust our country limits in response to changing conditions. We evaluate our individual country risk exposure based on our assessment of a borrower’s ability to repay, which gives consideration for allowable transfers of risk, such as guarantees and collateral, and may be different from the reporting based on a borrower’s primary address. Our largest single country exposure outside the U.S. at June 30, 2026, was
the United Kingdom, which totaled $35.3 billion, or approximately 2% of our total assets, of which $3.3 billion were sovereign exposures and included deposits we have placed with the Bank of England pursuant to regulatory requirements in support of our London branch.
Table 14 provides information regarding our top 20 exposures by country (excluding the U.S.), based on our assessment of risk, which gives consideration to the country of any guarantors and/or underlying collateral. With respect to Table 14:
•Lending exposure consists of loans outstanding plus unfunded credit commitments (excluding discretionary amounts where our approval or consent is required prior to any loan funding or commitment increase) and is presented prior to the deduction of the allowance for credit losses or collateral received under the terms of the credit agreements, if any.
•Securities exposure represents debt and equity securities of non-U.S. issuers. If applicable, long and short positions are netted.
•Derivatives and other exposure represents foreign exchange contracts, derivative contracts, securities resale agreements, and securities lending agreements.

Risk Management – Credit Risk Management (continued)
RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS. Our residential mortgage loan portfolio is composed of 1–4 family first and junior lien mortgage loans. Junior lien mortgage loans consist of residential mortgage lines of credit and loans that are subordinate in rights to an existing lien on the same property. Residential mortgage – first lien loans represented 97% of the total residential mortgage loan portfolio at both June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
The residential mortgage loan portfolio includes loans with adjustable-rate features. We monitor the risk of default as a result of interest rate increases on adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loans, which may be mitigated by product features that limit the amount of the increase in the contractual interest rate. The default risk of these loans is considered in our ACL for loans. ARM loans were $74.5 billion, or 7% of total loans, at June 30, 2026, compared with $70.8 billion, or 7% of total loans, at December 31, 2025, with an initial reset date in 2028 or later for the majority of this portfolio at June 30, 2026. We do not offer option ARM products or loans with negative amortization features.
The outstanding balance of residential mortgage lines of credit (both first and junior lien) was $9.3 billion at June 30, 2026, compared with $10.3 billion at December 31, 2025. The unfunded credit commitments for these lines of credit totaled $11.6 billion at June 30, 2026, compared with $15.2 billion at December 31, 2025. For additional information on our residential mortgage loan portfolio, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Residential Mortgage Loans” section in our 2025 Form 10-K.
We monitor changes in real estate values and underlying economic or market conditions for the geographic areas of our residential mortgage loan portfolio as part of our credit risk management process. Our periodic review of this portfolio includes estimating property values using home valuation models and indices. We have risk management guidelines that address the usage of these models, including periodic validation.
Part of our credit monitoring includes tracking delinquency, current Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit scores, and loan to collateral values (LTV) on the entire residential mortgage loan portfolio. For junior lien mortgages, LTV uses the total combined loan balance of first and junior lien mortgages, including unused line of credit amounts. For additional information regarding credit quality indicators, see Note 3 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Borrowers experiencing financial difficulties may seek additional assistance through a loan modification. For additional information on loan modifications, see Note 3 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Our residential mortgage loan portfolio decreased $1.4 billion from December 31, 2025, due to loan paydowns, partially offset by originations. Table 15 shows the outstanding balances of our first and junior lien mortgage loan portfolios.

For additional information on GNMA loan securitization pools, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Mortgage Banking Activities” section in this Report.
(4)Includes loans of $2.2 billion and $2.4 billion in California, and no other state had loans in excess of $640 million and $730 million at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.

CREDIT CARD, AUTO, AND OTHER CONSUMER LOANS. Table 16 shows the outstanding balance of our credit card, auto, and other consumer loan portfolios. For information regarding credit
quality indicators for these portfolios, see Note 3 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Total $ 154,042 15 % $ 144,082 15 %
Credit Card. The decrease in the outstanding balance at June 30, 2026, compared with December 31, 2025, was due to lower purchase volume as well as paydowns.
Auto. The increase in the outstanding balance at June 30, 2026, compared with December 31, 2025, was due to loan originations exceeding paydowns.
Other Consumer. The increase in the outstanding balance at June 30, 2026, compared with December 31, 2025, was due to an increase in securities-based lending.
Securities-based loans, including margin loans and securities-based credit lines, are originated by the WIM operating segment and are collateralized by securities in client brokerage accounts. The collateral is monitored and the loans have provisions that allow us to require additional collateral if the fair value of the existing collateral declines. Accordingly, these loans generally do not have an allowance for credit losses given their minimal expected credit risk.

(1)Residential mortgage loans are not placed on nonaccrual status when they are insured or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, such as the FHA or the VA.
(2)Consistent with regulatory reporting requirements, foreclosed real estate resulting from government insured/guaranteed loans are classified as nonperforming. Both principal and interest related to these foreclosed real estate assets are collectible because the loans were insured or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. Receivables related to the foreclosure of certain government guaranteed real estate mortgage loans are excluded from this table and included in accounts receivable in other assets. For additional information on the classification of certain government-guaranteed mortgage loans upon foreclosure, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Total nonaccrual loans decreased $558 million from December 31, 2025, driven by lower commercial real estate nonaccrual loans.
For additional information on commercial nonaccrual loans, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Commercial and Industrial Loans and Lease Financing” and “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Commercial Real Estate” sections in this Report.
32 Wells Fargo & Company
Table 18 provides an analysis of the changes in nonaccrual loans. Typically, changes to nonaccrual loans period-over-period represent inflows for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status in accordance with our policies, offset by reductions for loans
that are paid down, charged off, sold, foreclosed, or are no longer classified as nonaccrual as a result of continued performance and an improvement in the borrower’s financial condition and loan repayment capabilities.

We considered the risk of losses on nonaccrual loans in developing our allowance for loan losses. We believe exposure to losses on nonaccrual loans is mitigated by the following factors at June 30, 2026:
•98% of total commercial nonaccrual loans were secured, of which 72% were secured by real estate.
•68% of total commercial nonaccrual loans were current on interest and 52% of commercial nonaccrual loans were current on both principal and interest, but were on nonaccrual status because the full or timely collection of interest or principal had become uncertain.
•99% of total consumer nonaccrual loans were secured, of which 97% were secured by real estate and 98% had an LTV ratio of 80% or less.
•$361 million of the $444 million of consumer loans in bankruptcy or discharged in bankruptcy, and classified as nonaccrual, were current.

(1)Net loan charge-offs (recoveries) as a percentage of average loans are annualized.
The decrease in commercial net loan charge-offs in second quarter 2026, compared with the same period a year ago, was driven by lower losses in our commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios.
The decrease in consumer net loan charge-offs in second quarter 2026, compared with the same period a year ago, was due to lower losses in our credit card and other consumer portfolios, partially offset by higher losses in our auto portfolio.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES. We maintain an allowance for credit losses (ACL) for loans, which is management’s estimate of the expected lifetime credit losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded credit commitments, at the balance sheet date, excluding loans and unfunded credit commitments carried at fair value or held for sale. Additionally, we maintain an ACL for debt securities classified as either AFS or HTM, other financial assets measured at amortized cost, including deposits with banks, net investments in leases, and other off-balance sheet credit exposures.
The process for establishing the ACL for loans takes into consideration many factors, including historical and forecasted loss trends, loan-level credit quality ratings and loan grade-specific characteristics. The process involves subjective and complex judgments. In addition, we review a variety of credit metrics and trends. These credit metrics and trends, however, do not solely determine the amount of the allowance as we use several analytical tools. For additional information on our ACL, see the “Critical Accounting Policies – Allowance for Credit Losses” section and Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2025 Form 10-K. For additional information on our ACL for loans, see Note 3 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report, and for additional information on our ACL for debt securities, see Note 2 (Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities) to Financial Statements in this Report.

(2)Total net loan charge-offs are annualized for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
The ratios for the allowance for loan losses and the ACL for loans presented in Table 20 may fluctuate from period to period due to such factors as the mix of loan types in the portfolio, borrower credit strength, and the value and marketability of collateral.
The ACL for loans increased $70 million from December 31, 2025, reflecting a higher allowance for commercial and industrial and auto loans driven by higher loan balances, partially offset by a lower allowance for commercial real estate loans. The detail of the changes in the ACL for loans by portfolio segment (including charge-offs and recoveries by loan class) is included in Note 3 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.
We consider multiple economic scenarios to develop our estimate of the ACL for loans, which generally include a base scenario, along with an optimistic (upside) and one or more pessimistic (downside) scenarios. We weighted the base scenario and the downside scenarios in our estimate of the ACL for loans at June 30, 2026. The base scenario assumed uncertainty related to trade policies, increased inflation along with slowing economic growth, increased unemployment rates, and a decline in commercial real estate prices. The downside scenarios assumed a more substantial economic contraction due to lower business and consumer confidence, declining property values, and ongoing uncertainty related to global geopolitical events.
Additionally, we consider qualitative factors that represent management’s judgment of risks related to our processes and assumptions used in establishing the ACL such as economic environmental factors, modeling assumptions and performance, process risk, and other subjective factors, including industry trends and emerging risk assessments.
The forecasted key economic variables used in our estimate of the ACL for loans at June 30, 2026, and March 31, 2026, are presented in Table 21.

Risk Management – Credit Risk Management (continued)
We believe the ACL for loans of $14.4 billion at June 30, 2026, was appropriate to cover expected credit losses, including unfunded credit commitments, at that date. The entire allowance is available to absorb credit losses from the total loan portfolio. The ACL for loans is subject to change and reflects existing factors as of the date of determination, including economic or market conditions and ongoing internal and external examination processes. Due to the sensitivity of the ACL for loans to changes in the economic and business environment, it is possible that we will incur incremental credit losses not anticipated as of the balance sheet date. Our process for determining the ACL is discussed in the “Critical Accounting Policies – Allowance for Credit Losses” section and Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2025 Form 10-K.
MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES. We sell residential and commercial mortgage loans to various parties. In connection with our sales and securitization of residential mortgage loans, we have established a mortgage repurchase liability. For information on our repurchase liability, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Mortgage Banking Activities” section in our 2025 Form 10-K.
In addition to servicing loans in our portfolio, we may also service residential and commercial mortgage loans included in government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) mortgage securitizations, GNMA-guaranteed mortgage securitizations of FHA-insured/VA-guaranteed mortgages and private label mortgage securitizations, as well as for unsecuritized loans owned by institutional investors.
As a servicer, we are required to advance certain delinquent payments of principal and interest on mortgage loans we service. The amount and timing of reimbursement for advances of delinquent payments vary by investor and the applicable servicing agreements. See Note 6 (Mortgage Banking Activities) to Financial Statements in this Report for additional information about residential and commercial mortgage servicing rights, servicer advances and servicing fees.
In accordance with applicable servicing guidelines, upon transfer as servicer, we may have the option to repurchase loans from certain loan securitizations, which generally becomes exercisable based on delinquency status such as when three scheduled loan payments are past due. When we have the unilateral option to repurchase a loan, we recognize the loan and a corresponding liability on our balance sheet regardless of our intent to repurchase the loan.
For additional information about the risks related to our servicing activities, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Mortgage Banking Activities” section in our 2025 Form 10-K. For additional information on mortgage banking activities, see Note 6 (Mortgage Banking Activities) to Financial Statements in this Report. For additional information on loan sales and securitization activity, see Note 12 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Asset/Liability Management
Asset/liability management involves measuring, monitoring and managing interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk and funding. For additional information on our oversight of asset/liability risks, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management” section in our 2025 Form 10-K.
INTEREST RATE RISK. Interest rate risk is the risk that market fluctuations in interest rates, and/or product spreads, can cause a reduction in the Company’s earnings and capital stemming from mismatches in the Company’s asset and liability cash flows.
We are subject to interest rate risk because:
•assets and liabilities may mature or reprice at different times or at different amounts;
•short-term and long-term market interest rates may change independently or by different magnitudes;
•the remaining maturity for various assets or liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change; or
•interest rates may also have a direct or indirect effect on loan demand, collateral values, credit losses, loan origination volume, and the fair value of financial instruments and MSRs.
We measure interest rate risk exposure from lending, investing, and deposit-raising activities, as well as from issuances of long-term debt. Interest rate risk is measured by comparing the earnings outcomes from multiple interest rate scenarios relative to our base scenario. The base scenario is a reference point used by the Company for financial planning purposes. These scenarios may differ in the direction, degree, and speed of interest rate changes over time, and the projected shape of the yield curve. They also require assumptions regarding drivers of earnings and balance sheet composition such as loan originations, prepayment rates on loans and debt securities, deposit flows and mix, as well as pricing strategies. We periodically assess and enhance our scenarios and assumptions.
Table 22 presents the results of the estimated net interest income sensitivity over the next 12 months from the multiple scenarios compared with our base scenario. These hypothetical scenarios include instantaneous movements across the yield curve with both lower and higher interest rates under a parallel shift, as well as steeper and flatter non-parallel changes in the yield curve. Long-term interest rates are defined as all tenors three years and longer, and short-term interest rates are defined as all tenors less than three years. Markets trading net interest income is excluded from the sensitivity analysis since Markets trading net interest income may be offset by trading-related noninterest income. For additional information on the market risk of financial instruments used in our trading activities, which are measured at fair value through earnings, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Market Risk – Trading Activities” section in this Report.
Our scenario assumptions reflected the following:
•Scenarios are dynamic and reflect anticipated changes to our assets and liabilities over time.
•Mortgage prepayment and origination assumptions vary across scenarios and reflect only the impact of the higher or lower interest rates.
•Other macroeconomic variables that could be correlated with the changes in interest rates are held constant.
•The funding forecast in our base scenario incorporates deposit mix changes and market funding levels consistent
with the base interest rate trajectory. Our hypothetical scenarios incorporate deposit mix that is the same as in the base scenario. In higher interest rate scenarios, potential customer deposit activity that shifts balances into higher yielding products and/or requires additional market funding could reduce the expected benefit from higher rates. Conversely, in lower interest rate scenarios, a potential shift to a funding mix with lower yielding deposits and/or less market funding could reduce the impact of lower rates on earning assets in these scenarios.
•The interest rate sensitivity of deposits as market interest rates change, referred to as deposit betas, are informed by historical behavior and expectations for near-term pricing strategies. Our actual experience may differ from expectations due to the lag or acceleration of deposit repricing, changes in consumer behavior, and other factors.

-100 bps shift in long-term interest rates (0.5) (0.4)
The changes in our interest rate sensitivity from December 31, 2025, to June 30, 2026, reflected updates for our expected balance sheet composition. Our interest rate sensitivity indicates that we would expect to benefit from higher interest rates as our assets would reprice faster and to a greater degree than our liabilities, while in the case of lower interest rates, our assets would reprice downward and to a greater degree than our liabilities resulting in lower net interest income. The realized impact of interest rate changes may vary from our base and hypothetical scenarios for various reasons, including any deposit pricing lags. We use interest rate derivatives and our debt securities portfolio to manage our interest rate exposures.
We use derivatives for asset/liability management to (i) convert cash flows from selected assets and/or liabilities from floating-rate payments to fixed-rate payments, or vice versa, (ii) reduce accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) sensitivity of our AFS debt securities portfolio, and/or (iii) economically hedge our mortgage origination pipeline, funded mortgage loans, and MSRs. Derivatives used to hedge our interest rate risk exposures are presented in Note 10 (Derivatives) to Financial Statements in this Report. As interest rates increase, changes in the fair value of AFS debt securities may negatively affect AOCI, which lowers the amount of our regulatory capital. AOCI also includes unrealized gains or losses related to the transfer of debt securities from AFS to HTM, which are subsequently amortized into earnings over the life of the security with no further impact from interest rate changes. See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2025 Form 10-K and Note 2 (Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities)

Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management (continued)
to Financial Statements in this Report for additional information on our debt securities portfolio.
In addition to the net interest income sensitivity above, we also measure and evaluate the economic value sensitivity (EVS) of our balance sheet. EVS is the change in the present value of the life-time cash flows of the Company’s assets and liabilities across a range of scenarios. It is based on the existing balance sheet, at a point in time, and helps indicate whether we are exposed to higher or lower interest rates. We manage EVS through a set of limits that are designed to align with our interest rate risk appetite.
Interest rate sensitive noninterest income is impacted by changes in earnings credit for noninterest-bearing deposits that reduce treasury management deposit-related service fees on commercial accounts. Our interest rate sensitive noninterest income is also impacted by mortgage banking activities that may have sensitivity impacts that move in the opposite direction of our net interest income. See the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Mortgage Banking Interest Rate and Market Risk” section in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.
MORTGAGE BANKING INTEREST RATE AND MARKET RISK. We originate and service mortgage loans, which subjects us to various risks, including market, interest rate, credit, and liquidity risks that can be substantial. Based on market conditions and other factors, we reduce credit and liquidity risks by selling or securitizing mortgage loans. We determine whether mortgage loans will be held for investment or held for sale at the time of commitment, but may change our intent to hold loans for investment or sale as part of our corporate asset/liability management activities. We may also retain securities in our investment portfolio at the time we securitize mortgage loans.
Changes in interest rates may impact mortgage banking noninterest income, including origination and servicing fees, and the fair value of our residential MSRs, loans held for sale (LHFS), and derivative loan commitments (interest rate “locks”) extended to mortgage applicants. Interest rate changes will generally impact our mortgage banking noninterest income on a lagging basis due to the time it takes for the market to reflect a shift in customer demand, as well as the time required for processing a new application, providing the commitment, and securitizing and selling the loan. The amount and timing of the impact will depend on the magnitude, speed and duration of the changes in interest rates. For additional information on mortgage banking, including key assumptions and the sensitivity of the fair value of MSRs, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management– Mortgage Banking Interest Rate and Market Risk” section in our 2025 Form 10-K and Note 6 (Mortgage Banking Activities) and Note 11 (Fair Value Measurements) to Financial Statements in this Report.
MARKET RISK. Market risk is the risk of possible economic loss from adverse changes in market risk factors such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, equity and commodity prices, and the risk of possible loss due to counterparty exposure. Market risk applies to implied volatility risk, basis risk, and market liquidity risk and includes price risk in the trading book, mortgage servicing rights, the hedge effectiveness risk associated with non-trading portfolios held at fair value, and impairment on private equity investments. For additional information on our oversight of market risk, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Market Risk” section in our 2025 Form 10-K.
MARKET RISK – TRADING ACTIVITIES. We engage in trading activities to accommodate the investment and risk management activities of our customers and to execute economic hedging to manage certain balance sheet risks. These trading activities predominantly occur within our Markets business. Trading debt and equity securities, trading loans, and trading derivatives are financial instruments used in our trading activities, and are measured at fair value through earnings. Income earned on the financial instruments used in our trading activities include net interest income, changes in fair value, and realized gains and losses. Changes in fair value and realized gains and losses of the financial instruments used in our trading activities are reflected in net gains from trading activities. For additional information on the financial instruments used in our trading activities, see
Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2025 Form 10-K. For additional information on the income from these trading activities, see Note 17 (Revenue and Expenses) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Value-at-risk (VaR) is a statistical risk measure used to estimate the potential loss from adverse moves in the financial markets, and Trading VaR is a measure used to provide insight into the market risk exhibited by the Company’s trading positions on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company uses these VaR metrics complemented with sensitivity analysis and stress testing in measuring and monitoring market risk. The Company calculates Trading VaR for risk management purposes to establish and monitor line of business and Company-wide risk limits. For additional information on our monitoring activities, sensitivity analysis, stress testing, Trading VaR, and Trading General VaR by risk category, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Market Risk – Trading Activities” section in our 2025 Form 10-K.

(1)The diversification effect arises because the risks are not perfectly correlated causing a portfolio of positions to usually be less risky than the sum of the risks of the positions alone. The diversification benefit is not meaningful for low and high metrics since they may occur on different days.
MARKET RISK – EQUITY SECURITIES. We are directly and indirectly affected by changes in the equity markets. We make and manage investments in various businesses, such as start-up companies and emerging growth companies, some of which are made by our venture capital business. For additional information, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Market Risk –
Equity Securities” section in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Additionally, as part of our business to support our customers, we trade public equities, listed/over-the-counter equity derivatives, and convertible bonds, and we have parameters for the oversight of these activities.
Changes in equity market prices may also indirectly affect our net income by (1) the value of third-party assets under management and, hence, fee income, (2) borrowers whose ability to repay principal and/or interest may be affected by the stock market, or (3) brokerage activity, related commission income and other business activities. Each business line monitors and manages these indirect risks.
For additional information on our equity securities, see Note 4 (Equity Securities) to Financial Statements in this Report.
LIQUIDITY RISK AND FUNDING. Liquidity risk is the risk arising from the inability of the Company to meet obligations when they come due, or roll over funds at a reasonable cost, without incurring heightened costs. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual obligations that may require future cash payments, including funding for customer loan requests, customer deposit maturities and withdrawals, debt service, leases for premises and equipment, and other cash commitments. Liquidity risk also considers the stability of deposits, including the risk of losing uninsured or non-operational deposits. The objective of effective liquidity management is to be able to meet our contractual obligations and other cash commitments efficiently under both normal operating conditions and under periods of Wells Fargo-specific and/or market stress.
To help achieve this objective, the Board establishes liquidity guidelines that require sufficient liquidity to cover potential funding requirements and to avoid over-dependence on volatile, less reliable funding markets. These guidelines are monitored on a monthly basis by the management-level Corporate Asset/
Liability Committee and on a quarterly basis by the Board. These guidelines are established and monitored for both the Company and the Parent on a stand-alone basis so that the Parent is a source of strength for its banking subsidiaries. For additional information on liquidity risk and funding management, see the “Risk Management – Liquidity Risk and Funding” section in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Liquidity Standards. We are subject to a rule issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) that establishes a quantitative minimum liquidity requirement, known as the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR). The rule requires a covered banking organization to hold high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) in an amount equal to or greater than its projected net cash outflows during a 30-day stress period. Our HQLA under the rule mainly consists of central bank deposits, government debt securities, and federal agency mortgage-backed securities. The LCR applies to the Company and to our insured depository institutions (IDIs) with total assets of $10 billion or more. In addition, rules issued by the FRB impose enhanced liquidity risk management standards on large bank holding companies (BHCs), such as Wells Fargo.
We are also subject to a rule issued by the FRB, OCC and FDIC that establishes a stable funding requirement, known as the net stable funding ratio (NSFR). The NSFR requires a covered banking organization, such as Wells Fargo, to maintain a minimum amount of stable funding, including common equity, long-term debt and most types of deposits, in relation to its assets, derivative exposures and commitments over a one-year horizon period. The NSFR applies to the Company and to our IDIs with total assets of $10 billion or more. As of June 30, 2026, we were compliant with the NSFR requirement.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio. As of June 30, 2026, the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. exceeded the minimum LCR requirement of 100%. The LCR represents average HQLA divided by average projected net cash outflows, as each is defined under the LCR rule.
Table 24 presents the Company’s quarterly average values for the daily-calculated LCR and its components calculated pursuant to the LCR rule requirements.

Liquidity Sources. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $979.7 billion of total available liquidity sources. Table 25 presents the components of our available liquidity sources.
We maintain primary sources of liquidity in the form of central bank deposits and high-quality liquid debt securities, which collectively totaled $543.7 billion as of June 30, 2026. Our high-quality liquid debt securities presented in Table 25 are substantially the same in composition as HQLA eligible securities under the LCR rule; however, they will generally exceed HQLA eligible securities due to the applicable LCR haircuts and the exclusion of LCR adjustments for excess liquidity that is not transferable from certain subsidiaries.
We believe our high-quality liquid debt securities provide reliable sources of liquidity through sales or by pledging to obtain financing, in both normal and stressed market conditions. High-quality liquid debt securities include AFS, HTM, and trading debt securities, as well as debt securities received through securities financing activities.
As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately $713.4 billion of borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Discount Window and Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB). This borrowing capacity included $277.4 billion related to pledged high-quality liquid debt securities within our primary sources of liquidity and $436.0 billion related to pledged loans and other debt securities within our contingent sources of liquidity.

Funding Sources. The Parent acts as a source of funding for the Company through the issuance of long-term debt and equity. WFC Holdings, LLC (the “IHC”) is an intermediate holding company and subsidiary of the Parent, which provides funding support for the ongoing operational requirements of the Parent and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. For additional information on the IHC, see the “Regulation and Supervision – ‘Living Will’ Requirements and Related Matters” section in our 2025 Form 10-K. Additional subsidiary funding is provided by deposits, short-term funding, and long-term debt.
Deposits have historically provided a sizable source of relatively low-cost funds. Loans were 69% of total deposits at both June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
Short-term funding, which generally matures in less than 30 days, includes federal funds purchased and securities loaned or
sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings. The balances of securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase may vary over time due to client activity in our Markets business, our own demand for financing, and our overall mix of liabilities. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased at June 30, 2026, from December 31, 2025, driven by increased client-driven activity in our Markets business. For additional information, see the “Collateralized Financing Activities and Deposits”, “Short-term Borrowings”, and “Long-term Debt” sections of Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2025 Form 10-K.
We may pledge financial instruments that we own to collateralize repurchase agreements and other securities financings, as well as borrowings from the FHLB. For additional information, see the
40 Wells Fargo & Company
“Pledged Assets” section of Note 15 (Pledged Assets and Collateral) to Financial Statements in this Report.
We access domestic and international capital markets for long-term funding through issuances of registered debt securities, private placements, securitizations, and asset-backed secured funding. We issue long-term debt in a variety of maturities and currencies to achieve cost-efficient funding and to maintain an appropriate maturity profile. Proceeds from securities issued were used for general corporate purposes unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus or prospectus supplement,
and we expect the proceeds from securities issued in the future will be used for the same purposes. Depending on market conditions and our liquidity position, we may redeem or repurchase, and subsequently retire, our outstanding debt securities in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer, or otherwise.
Table 26 provides the aggregate carrying value of long-term debt as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, and maturities (based on contractual payment dates) for 2026 and the following years thereafter.

Credit Ratings. Capital markets investors, as well as other market participants, generally will consider, among other factors, a company’s debt rating in making investment decisions. Rating agencies base their ratings on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, business mix, the level and quality of earnings, and rating agency assumptions regarding the probability and extent of federal financial assistance or support for certain large financial institutions. Adverse changes in these factors could result in a reduction of our credit rating; however, our debt securities do not contain credit rating covenants.
On May 6, 2026, Fitch Ratings affirmed Wells Fargo & Company's ratings and maintained the stable outlook.
There were no other actions undertaken by the ratings agencies with regard to our credit ratings during second quarter 2026.
See the “Risk Factors” section in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information regarding our credit ratings and the potential impact a credit rating downgrade would have on our liquidity and operations as well as Note 10 (Derivatives) to Financial Statements in this Report for information regarding additional collateral and funding obligations required for certain derivative instruments in the event our credit ratings were to fall below investment grade.

Capital Management
We have an active program for managing capital through a comprehensive process for assessing the Company’s overall capital adequacy. Our objective is to maintain capital at an amount commensurate with our risk profile and risk tolerance objectives, and to meet both regulatory and market expectations. We primarily fund our capital needs through the retention of earnings net of both dividends and share repurchases, as well as through the issuance of preferred stock and long- and short-term debt. For additional information about capital planning, see the “Capital Planning and Stress Testing” section below.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Company and each of our IDIs are subject to various regulatory capital adequacy requirements administered by the FRB and the OCC. Risk-based capital rules establish risk-adjusted ratios relating regulatory capital to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet exposures as discussed below.
RISK-BASED CAPITAL AND RISK-WEIGHTED ASSETS. The Company is subject to rules issued by federal banking regulators to implement Basel III capital requirements for U.S. banking organizations. The rules contain two frameworks for calculating capital requirements, a Standardized Approach and an Advanced Approach applicable to certain institutions, including Wells Fargo, and we must calculate our risk-based capital ratios under both approaches. The Company is required to satisfy the risk-based capital ratio requirements to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments.
In March 2026, federal banking regulators issued a proposed rule to implement the final components of Basel III, which would
impact the risk-based capital requirements. For large banks, such as the Company, the proposed rule would replace the current Advanced and Standardized approaches with a new Expanded Risk-Based Approach to calculate risk-weighted assets, including more granular risk weights for credit risk, a revised market risk framework, and a new standardized approach for measuring operational risk.
Table 28 presents the risk-based capital requirements applicable to the Company under the Standardized Approach and Advanced Approach, respectively, as of June 30, 2026.
The stress capital buffer (SCB) is calculated based on the decrease in a BHC’s risk-based capital ratios under the severely adverse scenario in the FRB’s annual supervisory stress test and related Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), plus four quarters of planned common stock dividends. Because the SCB is calculated based on data that can differ over time, our SCB, and thus our risk-based capital ratio requirements under the Standardized Approach, are subject to change in future periods. Our current SCB is 2.50% and we expect it will remain in effect through September 30, 2027.
The capital conservation buffer used in the Advanced Approach is set at 2.50% and is intended to absorb losses during times of economic or financial stress.
The FRB may also impose a discretionary countercyclical buffer of up to 2.50% to the risk-based capital requirements during periods of elevated risk in the financial system. The countercyclical buffer was 0.00% as of June 30, 2026.
Table 28: Risk-Based Capital Requirements – Standardized and Advanced Approaches
42 Wells Fargo & Company
As a global systemically important bank (G-SIB), we are also subject to the FRB’s rule implementing an additional capital surcharge between 1.00-4.50% on the risk-based capital ratio requirements of G-SIBs. Under the rule, we must annually calculate our surcharge under two methods and use the higher of the two surcharges. The first method (method one) considers our size, interconnectedness, cross-jurisdictional activity, substitutability, and complexity, consistent with the methodology developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and the Financial Stability Board (FSB). The second method (method two) uses similar inputs, but replaces substitutability with use of short-term wholesale funding and will generally result in higher surcharges than under method one. Because the G-SIB capital surcharge is calculated annually based on data that can differ over time, the amount of the surcharge is subject to change in future years. If our annual calculation results in a decrease to our G-SIB capital surcharge, the decrease takes effect the next calendar year. If our annual calculation results in an increase to our G-SIB capital surcharge, the increase takes effect in two calendar years. Our G-SIB capital surcharge will continue to be 1.50% in 2026. In March 2026, the FRB issued a proposed rule that would impact the methodology used to
calculate the G-SIB capital surcharge. The Company does not expect a significant change to its current G-SIB capital surcharge based on an assessment of the proposed rule.
Risk-weighted assets (RWAs) include components for credit risk and market risk under both the Standardized and Advanced Approaches. Under the Standardized Approach, credit risk RWAs are determined by applying prescribed risk weights that vary by category of asset, including credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items. Under the Advanced Approach, credit risk RWAs are calculated using a risk-sensitive methodology, which relies upon the use of our internal credit models based upon our experience with internal rating grades. The Advanced Approach also includes an operational risk component to reflect the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events.
The tables that follow provide information about our risk-based capital and related ratios as calculated under Basel III capital rules. Table 29 summarizes our CET1, Tier 1 capital, Total capital, RWAs and capital ratios.

Capital Management (continued)
TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY. We also evaluate our business based on certain ratios that utilize tangible common equity. Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, goodwill, certain identifiable intangible assets (other than MSRs) and goodwill and other intangibles on venture capital investments in consolidated portfolio companies, net of applicable deferred taxes. The ratios are (i) tangible book value per common share, which represents tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding; and (ii) return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE), which represents our
annualized earnings as a percentage of tangible common equity. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that tangible book value per common share and return on average tangible common equity, which utilize tangible common equity, are useful financial measures because they enable management, investors, and others to assess the Company’s use of equity.
Table 33 provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.

LEVERAGE REQUIREMENTS. As a BHC, we are required to maintain a supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments and maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio. Our SLR requirement consists of a minimum requirement plus a supplementary leverage buffer equal to half of our G-SIB capital surcharge calculated under method one. Table 34 presents the leverage requirements applicable to the Company as of June 30, 2026.
Table 34: Leverage Requirements Applicable to the Company
46 Wells Fargo & Company
In addition, our IDIs are required to maintain an SLR of at least 3.50% to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments and maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00%. The SLR requirement for our IDIs consists of a minimum requirement plus a supplementary leverage buffer equal to half of our G-SIB capital surcharge calculated under method one, with the buffer capped at 1.00%. At June 30, 2026, each of our IDIs exceeded their applicable SLR and Tier 1 leverage requirements.

TOTAL LOSS ABSORBING CAPACITY. As a G-SIB, we are required to have a minimum amount of equity and unsecured long-term debt for purposes of resolvability and resiliency, often referred to as Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC). U.S. G-SIBs are required to have a minimum amount of TLAC (consisting of CET1 capital and additional Tier 1 capital issued directly by the top-tier or covered BHC plus eligible external long-term debt) to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments as well as a minimum amount of eligible unsecured long-term debt. The components used to calculate our minimum TLAC and eligible unsecured long-term debt requirements as of June 30, 2026, are presented in Table 36.

OTHER REGULATORY CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY MATTERS. For information regarding the U.S. implementation of the Basel III LCR and NSFR, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Liquidity Risk and Funding – Liquidity Standards” section in this Report.
Our principal U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC, are subject to regulations to maintain minimum net capital requirements. As of June 30, 2026, these broker-dealer subsidiaries were in compliance with their respective regulatory minimum net capital requirements.
Wells Fargo & Company 47
Capital Management (continued)
Capital Planning and Stress Testing
Our planned long-term capital structure is designed to meet regulatory and market expectations. We believe that our long-term targeted capital structure enables us to invest in and grow our business, satisfy our customers’ financial needs in varying environments, access markets, and maintain flexibility to return capital to our shareholders. Our long-term targeted capital structure also considers capital levels sufficient to exceed capital requirements, including the G-SIB capital surcharge and the SCB, as well as potential changes to regulatory requirements for our capital ratios, planned capital actions, changes in our risk profile and other factors. Accordingly, our long-term target capital levels are set above their respective regulatory minimums plus buffers.
The FRB capital plan rule establishes capital planning and other requirements that govern capital distributions, including dividends and share repurchases, by certain BHCs, including Wells Fargo. The FRB assesses, among other things, the overall financial condition, risk profile, and capital adequacy of BHCs when evaluating their capital plans.
As part of the annual CCAR, the FRB generates a supervisory stress test. The FRB reviews the supervisory stress test results as required under the Dodd-Frank Act using a common set of capital actions for all large BHCs and also reviews the Company’s proposed capital actions.
Federal banking regulators also require large BHCs and banks to conduct their own stress tests to evaluate whether the institution has sufficient capital to continue to operate during periods of adverse economic and financial conditions.
During the first half of 2026, we issued $875 million of common stock, substantially all of which was issued in connection with employee compensation and benefits, and we repurchased 84 million shares of common stock at a cost of $7.1 billion. We paid $3.3 billion of common and preferred stock dividends during the first half of 2026.
On July 28, 2026, the Board approved an increase to the Company’s third quarter 2026 common stock dividend to $0.50 per share.
Securities Repurchases
On April 29, 2025, we announced that the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $40 billion of common stock. Unless modified or revoked by the Board, this authorization does not expire. At June 30, 2026, we had remaining Board authority to repurchase up to approximately $22.7 billion of common stock.
For additional information about share repurchases during second quarter 2026, see Part II, Item 2 in this Report.
Various factors impact the amount and timing of our share repurchases, including the earnings, cash requirements and financial condition of the Company, the impact to our balance sheet of expected customer activity, our capital requirements and long-term targeted capital structure, the results of supervisory stress tests, market conditions (including the trading price of our stock), and regulatory and legal considerations, including regulatory requirements under the FRB’s capital plan rule. Although we announce when the Board authorizes a share repurchase program, we typically do not give any public notice before we repurchase our shares. Due to the various factors that may impact the amount and timing of our share repurchases and the fact that we may be in the market throughout the year, our share repurchases occur at various prices. We may suspend share repurchase activity at any time.
Furthermore, the Company has a variety of benefit plans in which employees may own or obtain shares of our common stock. The Company may buy shares from these plans to accommodate employee preferences and these purchases are subtracted from our repurchase authority.
Regulation and Supervision
The U.S. financial services industry is subject to significant regulation and regulatory oversight initiatives. This regulation and oversight may continue to impact how U.S. financial services companies conduct business and may continue to result in increased regulatory compliance costs.
For a discussion of significant regulations and regulatory oversight initiatives that have affected or may affect our business, see the “Regulation and Supervision” and “Risk Factors” sections in our 2025 Form 10-K and the “Regulation and Supervision” section in our 2026 First Quarter Report on Form 10-Q.
48 Wells Fargo & Company
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our results of operations and financial condition because they require that we use estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets or liabilities and financial results. Five of these policies are critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies govern:
•the allowance for credit losses;
•fair value measurements;
•income taxes;
•liability for legal actions; and
•goodwill impairment.
Management has discussed these critical accounting policies and the related estimates and judgments with the Board’s Audit Committee. For additional information, see the “Critical Accounting Policies” section and Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2025 Form 10-K and Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in this Report.

In particular, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about: (i) the future operating or financial performance of the Company or any of its businesses, including our outlook for future growth; (ii) our expectations regarding noninterest expense and our efficiency ratio; (iii) future credit quality and performance, including our expectations regarding future loan losses, our allowance for credit losses, and the economic scenarios considered to develop the allowance; (iv) our expectations regarding net interest income and net interest margin; (v) loan growth or the reduction or mitigation of risk in our loan portfolios; (vi) future capital or liquidity levels, ratios or targets; (vii) the expected outcome and impact of legal, regulatory and legislative developments, as well as our expectations regarding compliance therewith; (viii) future common stock dividends, common share repurchases and other uses of capital; (ix) our targeted range for return on assets, return on equity, and return on tangible common equity; (x) expectations regarding our effective income tax rate; (xi) the outcome of contingencies, such as legal actions; (xii) sustainability and governance related goals or commitments; and (xiii) the Company’s plans, objectives and strategies.
Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation:
•current and future economic and market conditions, including the effects of declines in housing prices, high unemployment rates, declines in commercial real estate prices, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters, geopolitical matters, trade policies, and any slowdown in global economic growth;
•our capital and liquidity requirements (including under regulatory capital standards, such as the Basel III capital standards) and our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms;
•current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses, including rules and regulations relating to bank products and financial services;
•our ability to realize any efficiency ratio or expense target as part of our expense management initiatives, including as a result of business and economic cyclicality, seasonality, changes in our business composition and operating environment, growth in our businesses and/or acquisitions, and unexpected expenses relating to, among other things, litigation and regulatory matters;
•the effect of the current interest rate environment or changes in interest rates or in the level or composition of our assets or liabilities on our net interest income and net interest margin;
•significant turbulence or a disruption in the capital or financial markets, which could result in, among other things, a reduction in the availability of funding or increased funding costs, a reduction in our ability to sell or securitize loans, and declines in asset values and/or recognition of impairment of securities held in our debt securities and equity securities portfolios;
•the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our investment banking business and our fee income from our brokerage and wealth management businesses;
•negative effects from instances where customers may have experienced financial harm, including on our legal, operational and compliance costs, our ability to engage in certain business activities or offer certain products or services, our ability to keep and attract customers, our ability to attract and retain qualified employees, and our reputation;
•regulatory matters, including the failure to resolve outstanding matters on a timely basis and the potential impact of new matters, litigation, or other legal actions, which may result in, among other things, additional costs, fines, penalties, restrictions on our business activities, reputational harm, or other adverse consequences;
•a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyberattacks;
•the effect of technological changes, including artificial intelligence and digital assets, on us, our customers, or our competitive landscape;
•the effect of changes in the level of checking or savings account deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;
•fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board;
•changes to tax laws, regulations, and guidance as well as the effect of discrete items on our effective income tax rate;
•our ability to develop and execute effective business plans and strategies; and
•the other risk factors and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the amount and timing of any future common stock dividends or repurchases will depend on the earnings, cash requirements and financial condition of the Company, the impact to our balance sheet of expected customer activity, our capital requirements and long-term targeted capital structure, the results of supervisory stress tests, market conditions (including the trading price of our stock), regulatory and legal considerations, including regulatory requirements under the Federal Reserve Board’s capital plan rule,

and other factors deemed relevant by the Company, and may be subject to regulatory approval or conditions.
For additional information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, refer to our reports filed with the SEC, including the discussion under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC and available on its website at www.sec.gov.1
Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Forward-looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures. From time to time we may provide forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as forward-looking estimates or targets for return on average tangible common equity or for net interest income excluding Markets. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. Such unavailable information could be significant to future results.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management evaluated the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2026, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) participated in the evaluation. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2026.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and includes those policies and procedures that:
•pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;
•provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
•provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. No change occurred during second quarter 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Financial Statements
See the “Glossary of Acronyms” at the end of this Report for terms used throughout the Financial Statements and related Notes.
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Wells Fargo & Company is a leading financial services company. We provide a diversified set of banking, investment and mortgage products and services, as well as consumer and commercial finance, to individuals, businesses and institutions throughout the U.S., and in countries outside the U.S. When we refer to “Wells Fargo,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us,” we mean Wells Fargo & Company and Subsidiaries (consolidated). Wells Fargo & Company (the Parent) is a financial holding company and a bank holding company.
Our accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and practices in the financial services industry. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2025 Form 10-K). There were no material changes to these policies in the first half of 2026.
To prepare the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates based on assumptions about future economic and market conditions (for example, unemployment, market liquidity, real estate prices, etc.) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, income and expenses during the reporting period and the related disclosures. Although our estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Management has made significant estimates in several areas, including:
•allowance for credit losses (Note 3 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) and Note 2 (Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities));
•fair value measurements (Note 6 (Mortgage Banking Activities) and Note 11 (Fair Value Measurements));
•income taxes;
•liability for legal actions (Note 9 (Legal Actions)); and
•goodwill impairment (Note 5 (Goodwill and Other Assets)).
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations in the interim financial statements do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with our 2025 Form 10-K.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2026
We did not adopt any accounting standards in the first half of 2026.
Accounting Presentation Changes
In fourth quarter 2025, we elected to change the presentation of certain items on our consolidated balance sheet, including trading assets and liabilities and short-term borrowings. In connection with the changes to our consolidated balance sheet, corresponding changes were made on our consolidated statement of income, including the prior periods presented. For additional information, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Subsequent Events
We have evaluated the effects of events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2026, and there have been no material events that would require recognition in our second quarter 2026 consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities
Table 2.1 provides the amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses (ACL) for debt securities, and fair value by major categories of available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities, which are carried at fair value, and held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities, which are carried at amortized cost, net of the ACL. The net unrealized gains (losses) for AFS debt securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), net of the ACL and applicable income taxes. Information on debt securities held for trading is included in Note 17 (Revenue and Expenses). For both AFS and HTM debt securities, amortized cost is the unpaid principal amount, net of unamortized basis
adjustments. Basis adjustments may include purchase premiums or discounts, fair value hedge accounting basis adjustments, fair value write-downs related to recognition of intent to sell, impairment losses, and charge-offs or recoveries of amounts deemed uncollectible.
Outstanding balances exclude accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM debt securities, which is included in other assets. See Note 5 (Goodwill and Other Assets) for additional information on accrued interest receivable. Amounts considered to be uncollectible are reversed through interest income.

Credit Quality
We monitor credit quality of debt securities by evaluating various attributes and utilize such information in our evaluation of the appropriateness of the ACL for debt securities. The credit quality indicators that we most closely monitor include credit ratings and delinquency status and are based on information as of our financial statement date.
CREDIT RATINGS. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a debt security. We determine the credit rating of a security according to the lowest credit rating made available by national recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs). Debt securities rated investment grade (those with ratings similar to BBB-/Baa3 or above) as defined by NRSROs, are generally considered by the rating agencies and market
participants to be low credit risk. Conversely, debt securities rated below investment grade, labeled as “speculative grade” by the rating agencies, are considered to be distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade debt securities. For debt securities not rated by NRSROs, we determine an internal credit grade of the debt securities (used for credit risk management purposes) equivalent to the credit ratings assigned by major credit agencies. Substantially all of our debt securities were rated by NRSROs at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
Table 2.4 shows the percentage of fair value of AFS debt securities and amortized cost of HTM debt securities determined to be rated investment grade, inclusive of securities rated based on internal credit grades.

DELINQUENCY STATUS AND NONACCRUAL DEBT SECURITIES. Debt security issuers that are delinquent in payment of amounts due under contractual debt agreements have a higher probability of recognition of credit losses. As part of our monitoring of the credit quality of the debt security portfolio, we consider whether debt securities we own are past due in payment of principal or interest payments and whether any securities have been placed into nonaccrual status.
Debt securities that are past due and still accruing or in nonaccrual status were insignificant at both June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025. Net charge-offs on debt securities were insignificant in the second quarter and first half of both 2026 and 2025.

Unrealized Losses of Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
Table 2.5 shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of AFS debt securities by length of time those individual securities in each category have been in a continuous loss position. Debt securities on which we have recognized credit impairment are
categorized as being “less than 12 months” or “12 months or more” in a continuous loss position based on the point in time that the fair value declined to below the amortized cost basis, net of the allowance for credit losses.

(1)Gross unrealized losses exclude portfolio level basis adjustments.
We have assessed each debt security with gross unrealized losses included in the previous table for credit impairment. As part of that assessment we evaluated and concluded that we do not intend to sell any of the debt securities, and that it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell, prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis. We evaluate, where necessary, whether credit impairment exists by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows to the debt securities’ amortized cost basis. Credit impairment is recognized as an ACL for debt securities.
For descriptions of the factors we consider when analyzing debt securities for impairment as well as methodology and significant inputs used to measure credit losses, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Note 3: Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses
Table 3.1 presents total loans outstanding by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable. Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balances net of any unearned income, cumulative charge-offs, unamortized deferred fees and costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. These amounts were less than 1% of our total loans outstanding at both June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
Outstanding balances exclude accrued interest receivable on loans, except for certain revolving loans, such as credit card loans.
See Note 5 (Goodwill and Other Assets) for additional information on accrued interest receivable. Amounts considered to be uncollectible are reversed through interest income. During the first half of 2026, we reversed accrued interest receivable of $22 million for our commercial portfolio segment and $188 million for our consumer portfolio segment, compared with $32 million and $197 million, respectively, for the same period a year ago.

Note 3: Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)
Unfunded Credit Commitments
Unfunded credit commitments are legally binding agreements to lend to customers with terms covering usage of funds, contractual interest rates, expiration dates, and any required collateral. Our commercial lending commitments include, but are not limited to, (i) commitments for working capital and general corporate purposes, (ii) financing to customers who warehouse financial assets secured by real estate, consumer, or corporate loans, (iii) financing that is expected to be syndicated or replaced with other forms of long-term financing, and (iv) commercial real estate lending. We also originate multipurpose lending commitments under which commercial customers have the option to draw on the facility in one of several forms, including the issuance of letters of credit, which reduces the unfunded commitment amounts of the facility.
The maximum credit risk for these commitments will generally be lower than the contractual amount because these commitments may expire without being used or may be cancelled at the customer’s request. We may reduce or cancel lines of credit in accordance with the contracts and applicable law. Our credit risk monitoring activities include managing the amount of commitments, both to individual customers and in total, and the size and maturity structure of these commitments. We do not recognize an ACL for commitments that are unconditionally cancellable at our discretion.
We issue commercial letters of credit to assist customers in purchasing goods or services, typically for international trade. At June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, of outstanding issued commercial letters of credit. See Note 13 (Guarantees and Other Commitments) for additional information on issued standby letters of credit.
We may be a fronting bank, whereby we act as a representative for other lenders, and advance funds or provide for the issuance of letters of credit under syndicated loan or letter of credit agreements. Any advances are generally repaid in less than a week and would normally require default of both the customer and another lender to expose us to loss.
The contractual amount of our unfunded credit commitments, including unissued letters of credit, is summarized in Table 3.4. The table is presented net of commitments syndicated to others, including the fronting arrangements described above, and excludes issued letters of credit and discretionary amounts where our approval or consent is required prior to any loan funding or commitment increase.

Table 3.5 presents the ACL for loans, which consists of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded credit commitments. The ACL for loans increased $70 million from December 31, 2025, reflecting a higher allowance for commercial
and industrial and auto loans driven by higher loan balances, partially offset by a lower allowance for commercial real estate loans.

Credit Quality
We monitor credit quality by evaluating various attributes and utilize such information in our evaluation of the appropriateness of the ACL for loans. The following sections provide the credit quality indicators we most closely monitor. The credit quality indicators are generally based on information as of our financial statement date.
COMMERCIAL CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS. We manage a consistent process for assessing commercial loan credit quality. Commercial loans are generally subject to individual risk assessment using our internal borrower and collateral quality ratings, which is our primary credit quality indicator. Our ratings are aligned to regulatory definitions of pass and criticized categories with the criticized segmented among special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss categories.
Table 3.7 provides the outstanding balances of our commercial loan portfolio by risk category and credit quality information by origination year for term loans. Revolving loans may convert to term loans as a result of a contractual provision in the original loan agreement or if modified for a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. At June 30, 2026, we had $606.4 billion and $29.9 billion of pass and criticized commercial loans, respectively. Gross charge-offs by loan class are included in the following table for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and year ended December 31, 2025.

CONSUMER CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS. We have various classes of consumer loans that present unique credit risks. Loan delinquency, Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit scores and loan-to-value (LTV) for residential mortgage loans are the primary credit quality indicators that we monitor and utilize in our evaluation of the appropriateness of the ACL for the consumer loan portfolio segment.
Many of our loss estimation techniques used for the ACL for loans rely on delinquency-based models; therefore, delinquency is an important indicator of credit quality in the establishment of our ACL for consumer loans.
We obtain FICO scores at loan origination and the scores are generally updated at least quarterly, except in limited circumstances, including compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). FICO scores are not available for certain loan types or may not be required if we deem it unnecessary due to strong collateral and other borrower attributes.
LTV is the ratio of the outstanding loan balance divided by the property collateral value. For junior lien mortgages, we use the total combined loan balance of first and junior liens, including unused line of credit amounts. We generally obtain property collateral values through home valuation models and indices. We update LTVs on a quarterly basis. Certain loans do not have an LTV due to a lack of industry data availability or are portfolios acquired from or serviced by other institutions.
Gross charge-offs by loan class are included in the following tables for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and year ended December 31, 2025.
Credit quality information is provided with the year of origination for term loans. Revolving loans may convert to term loans as a result of a contractual provision in the original loan agreement or if modified for a borrower experiencing financial difficulty.
Table 3.9 provides the outstanding balances of our residential mortgage loans by our primary credit quality indicators.

LOANS IN PROCESS OF FORECLOSURE. Our recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in process of foreclosure was $435 million and $525 million at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively, which included $335 million and $383 million, respectively, of loans that are government insured/guaranteed. Under the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau guidelines, we do not commence the foreclosure process on residential mortgage loans until after the loan is 120 days delinquent. Foreclosure procedures and timelines vary depending on whether the property address resides in a judicial or non-judicial state. Judicial states require the foreclosure to be processed through the state’s courts while non-judicial states are processed without court intervention. Foreclosure timelines vary according to state law.
LOANS 90 DAYS OR MORE PAST DUE AND STILL ACCRUING. Certain loans 90 days or more past due are still accruing, because they are (1) well-secured and in the process of collection or (2) residential mortgage or consumer loans exempt under regulatory rules from being classified as nonaccrual until later delinquency, usually 120 days past due.
Table 3.14 shows loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing by class for loans not government insured/guaranteed.

Note 3: Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)
LOAN MODIFICATIONS TO BORROWERS EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY. We may agree to modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. At the time of modification, we may require that the borrower provide additional economic support, such as a partial repayment, additional collateral, or guarantees.
The following disclosures provide information on loan modifications in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant (e.g., greater than three months) payment delays, term extensions or a combination of these modifications, as well as the financial effects of these modifications, and loan performance in the 12 months following the modification. Loans that both modify and are paid off or
charged-off during the period are not included in the disclosures below. These disclosures do not include loans discharged by a bankruptcy court as the only concession, which were insignificant in the second quarter and first half of both 2026 and 2025.
For additional information on our loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, see Note 3 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Note 6: Mortgage Banking Activities (continued)
The sensitivities in the preceding table are hypothetical and caution should be exercised when relying on this data. Changes in value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the value of the other interests held is calculated independently without changing any other assumptions. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in others, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.
We present information for our loans serviced for others in
Table 6.3. As the servicer of loans for others, we advance certain payments of principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and default-related expenses. The credit risk related to these advances is limited since the reimbursement is generally senior to cash payments to investors and are generally reimbursed within a short timeframe from cash flows from the trust, government-sponsored enterprise (GSEs), insurer, or borrower. We maintain an allowance for uncollectible amounts for advances on loans serviced for others that may not be reimbursed if the payments were not made in accordance with applicable servicing agreements or if the insurance or servicing agreements contain limitations on reimbursements.

Note 8: Preferred Stock and Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 20 million shares of preferred stock, without par value. Outstanding shares of preferred stock rank senior to shares of common stock both as to the payment of dividends and liquidation preferences, but have no general voting rights. All outstanding preferred stock with a liquidation preference value, except for Series L Preferred Stock, may be redeemed for its liquidation preference value, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, on any dividend payment date on or after the earliest redemption date for that series. Additionally, these same series of preferred stock may be redeemed following a “regulatory capital treatment event,” as described in the terms of each series. Capital actions, including redemptions of our
preferred stock, may be subject to regulatory approval or conditions.
In addition, we are authorized to issue 4 million shares of preference stock, without par value, and we have not issued any stock under this authorization. If issued, the preference stock would be limited to one vote per share.
In March 2026, we redeemed our Preferred Stock, Series BB, and issued our Preferred Stock, Series GG.

Note 9: Legal Actions
The Company is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory, governmental, arbitration, and other proceedings or investigations that expose the Company to potential financial losses or other adverse consequences. These proceedings and investigations include actions brought against Wells Fargo and/or our subsidiaries with respect to corporate-related matters and transactions in which Wells Fargo and/or our subsidiaries were involved. In addition, Wells Fargo and our subsidiaries may be requested to provide information to or otherwise cooperate with government authorities in the conduct of investigations of other persons or industry groups. We recognize accruals for legal actions when potential losses associated with the actions become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. For such accruals, we recognize the amount we consider to be the best estimate within a range of potential losses that are both probable and estimable. If we cannot determine a best estimate, we recognize the amount at the low end of the range of those potential losses. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of legal actions, including the matters described below, and the actual costs of resolving legal actions may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for those actions.
ADVISORY ACCOUNT CASH SWEEP LITIGATION. Putative class actions have been filed in federal district courts alleging that the Company breached its fiduciary duties or agreements with regard to rates paid to investment advisory clients in its cash sweep program. These actions have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND ECONOMIC SANCTIONS RELATED INVESTIGATIONS. Government authorities are conducting inquiries or investigations regarding issues related to the Company’s anti-money laundering and sanctions programs. On September 12, 2024, the Company announced that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into a formal agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) related to the bank’s anti-money laundering and sanctions risk management practices.
FAIR ACCESS TO BANKING INVESTIGATIONS. Government agencies are conducting inquiries or investigations related to fair access to banking, including pursuant to Executive Order 14331 (Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans), which directed a review by certain government agencies of financial institutions’ policies and practices for providing, maintaining, or discontinuing financial products or services to customers or potential customers.
HIRING PRACTICES MATTERS. Government agencies, including the United States Department of Justice and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), have undertaken formal or informal inquiries or investigations regarding the Company’s hiring practices related to diversity. The United States Department of Justice and the SEC have since closed their investigations without taking action. A securities fraud class action has also been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that the Company and certain of its executive officers made false or misleading statements about the Company’s hiring practices related to diversity. On May 21, 2026, the court granted final approval of an agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay
$85 million to resolve the securities fraud class action. Allegations related to the Company’s hiring practices related to diversity were also among the subjects of a shareholder derivative lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. On May 15, 2026, the court granted final approval of an agreement to resolve the shareholder derivative lawsuit.
HOME MORTGAGE DISCRIMINATION LITIGATION. Plaintiffs proposing to represent a class of home mortgage applicants and customers filed putative class actions against Wells Fargo alleging that Wells Fargo’s mortgage lending policies and practices resulted in disparate treatment and disparate impact against minority applicants. These actions have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. In August 2025, the district court denied class certification and plaintiffs’ interlocutory appeal of the decision was denied in January 2026. Similar allegations related to the Company’s home mortgage lending practices were also among the subjects of a shareholder derivative lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. On May 15, 2026, the court granted final approval of an agreement to resolve the shareholder derivative lawsuit.
INTERCHANGE LITIGATION. Plaintiffs representing a class of merchants have filed putative class actions, and individual merchants have filed individual actions, alleging that Visa and Mastercard, as well as certain payment card issuing banks including Wells Fargo, unlawfully colluded to set interchange rates associated with Visa and Mastercard payment card transactions and that enforcement of certain Visa and Mastercard rules and alleged tying and bundling of services offered to merchants were anticompetitive. These actions have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Wells Fargo, along with other defendants and entities, are parties to loss and judgment sharing agreements, which provide that they, along with other entities, will share, based on a formula, in any losses or judgments from the relevant litigation. In July 2012, Visa, Mastercard, and the financial institution defendants, including Wells Fargo, agreed to pay a total of approximately $6.6 billion in order to settle the consolidated action. Several merchants opted out of the settlement and are pursuing individual actions. In June 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the settlement agreement and reversed and remanded the consolidated action to the district court for further proceedings. In November 2016, the district court appointed lead class counsel for a damages class and an equitable relief class. The parties entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the damages class claims pursuant to which defendants agreed to pay a total of approximately $6.2 billion, which includes approximately $5.3 billion of funds remaining in escrow from the 2012 settlement and $900 million in additional funding. Wells Fargo’s allocated responsibility for the additional funding is approximately $94.5 million. The court granted final approval of the settlement on December 13, 2019, which was affirmed by the Second Circuit on March 15, 2023. On September 27, 2021, the district court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification in the equitable relief case. On June 9, 2026, the court granted preliminary approval of a settlement agreement entered into by Visa and Mastercard to resolve the equitable
Wells Fargo & Company 87
Note 9: Legal Actions (continued)
relief class claims. Some of the opt-out and direct-action cases have been settled while others remain pending.
SEMINOLE TRIBE TRUSTEE LITIGATION. The Seminole Tribe of Florida filed a complaint in Florida state court alleging that Wells Fargo, as trustee, charged excess fees in connection with the administration of a minor’s trust and failed to invest the assets of the trust prudently. The complaint was later amended to include three individual current and former beneficiaries as plaintiffs and to remove the Tribe as a party to the case. In March 2025, a trial verdict was entered against Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo has appealed.
OUTLOOK. As described above, the Company recognizes accruals for legal actions when potential losses associated with the actions become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The high end of the range of reasonably possible losses in excess of the Company’s accrual for probable and estimable losses was approximately $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2026. The outcomes of legal actions are unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, and it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible. It is also inherently difficult to estimate the amount of any loss and there may be matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible but not currently estimable. Accordingly, actual losses may be in excess of the recognized accrual or the range of reasonably possible loss. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage, and established reserves, Wells Fargo believes that the eventual outcome of the actions against Wells Fargo and/or its subsidiaries will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Wells Fargo’s consolidated financial condition. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of a matter, if unfavorable, may be material to Wells Fargo’s results of operations for any particular period.

Note 10: Derivatives
We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk, commodity and equity price risk, foreign currency risk, and credit risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. We designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments in qualifying hedge accounting relationships (fair value or cash flow hedges). Our remaining derivatives consist of economic hedges that do not qualify for, or we have elected not to apply, hedge accounting and derivatives held for customer accommodation trading purposes. For additional information on our derivative activities, see Note 13 (Derivatives) in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Table 10.1 presents the total notional or contractual amounts and fair values for our derivatives. Derivative transactions can be measured in terms of the notional amount, but this amount is not recognized on our consolidated balance sheet and is not, when viewed in isolation, a meaningful measure of the risk profile of the instruments. The notional amount is generally not exchanged, but is used only as the basis on which derivative cash flows are determined.

Balance Sheet Offsetting
We execute substantially all of our derivative transactions under master netting arrangements. When legally enforceable, these master netting arrangements give the ability, in the event of default by the counterparty, to liquidate securities held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. We reflect all derivative balances and related cash collateral subject to legally enforceable master netting arrangements on a net basis within trading assets and trading liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. We do not net non-cash collateral that we receive or pledge against derivative balances on our consolidated balance sheet.
For disclosure purposes, we present Total derivatives, net which represents the aggregate of our net exposure to each counterparty after considering the balance sheet netting adjustments and any non-cash collateral. We manage derivative exposure by monitoring the credit risk associated with each counterparty using counterparty-specific credit risk limits, using master netting arrangements and obtaining collateral.
Table 10.2 provides information on the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities subject to legally enforceable master netting arrangements with the same counterparty, the balance sheet netting adjustments and the resulting net fair value amount recognized on our consolidated balance sheet, as well as the non-cash collateral associated with such arrangements. In addition to the netting amounts included in the table, we also have balance sheet netting related to resale and repurchase agreements that are disclosed within Note 14 (Securities Financing Activities).

These valuation adjustments were substantially all related to interest rate and foreign exchange contracts. Table 10.7 and Table 10.8 present information related to derivative valuation adjustments.
Fair Value and Cash Flow Hedges
For fair value hedges, we use interest rate swaps to convert certain of our fixed-rate long-term debt and time certificates of deposit to floating rates to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk. We also enter into cross-currency swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk associated with the issuance of non-U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt. We also enter into futures contracts, forward contracts, and swap contracts to hedge our exposure to the price risk of physical commodities inventory included in trading assets on our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, we use interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts to hedge against changes in fair value of certain investments in AFS debt securities due to changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates, or both. For certain fair value hedges of interest rate risk, we use the portfolio layer method to hedge stated amounts of closed portfolios of AFS debt securities. For certain fair value hedges of foreign currency risk, changes in fair value of cross-currency swaps and forward contracts attributable to changes in cross-currency basis spreads and the spot-forward difference, respectively, are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Excluded components are either recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) and amortized into earnings over the life of the derivative or
recognized directly in earnings. See Note 20 (Other Comprehensive Income) for the amounts recognized in OCI.
For cash flow hedges, we use interest rate swaps and swaptions to hedge the variability in interest payments received on certain interest-earning deposits with banks and certain floating-rate commercial loans. We also use cross-currency swaps to hedge variability in interest payments on fixed-rate foreign currency-denominated long-term debt due to changes in foreign exchange rates. For certain cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, changes in fair value of swaptions attributable to changes in time value and volatility are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and recognized in OCI. See Note 20 (Other Comprehensive Income) for the amounts recognized in OCI.
We estimate $591 million pre-tax of deferred net losses related to cash flow hedges in OCI at June 30, 2026, will be reclassified into net interest income during the next 12 months. For cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2026, we are hedging our interest rate and foreign currency exposure to the variability of future cash flows for all forecasted transactions for a maximum of approximately 9 years. For additional information on our accounting hedges, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments include economic hedges and derivatives entered into for customer accommodation trading purposes.
Economic hedge and other derivatives do not qualify for, or we have elected not to apply, hedge accounting. We use economic hedge derivatives to manage our non-trading exposures to interest rate risk, equity price risk, foreign currency risk, and credit risk. Other derivatives include non-economic hedges not part of our portfolio of customer accommodation trading derivatives.
For additional information on customer accommodation trading derivatives, see Note 13 (Derivatives) in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Table 10.6 shows the net gains (losses) related to economic hedge and other derivatives. Gains (losses) on customer accommodation trading derivatives are excluded from
Table 10.6. See Note 17 (Revenue and Expenses) for additional information on net gains and (losses) from trading activities.

DERIVATIVE VALUATION ADJUSTMENTS. We incorporate certain adjustments in determining the fair value of our derivatives, including credit valuation adjustments (CVA) to reflect counterparty credit risk related to derivative assets, debit valuation adjustments (DVA) to reflect Wells Fargo’s own credit risk related to derivative liabilities, and funding valuation adjustments (FVA) to reflect the funding cost of uncollateralized or partially collateralized derivative assets and liabilities. CVA, which considers the effects of enforceable master netting agreements and collateral arrangements, reflects market-based views of the credit quality of each counterparty. We estimate CVA based on observed credits spreads in the credit default swap market and indices indicative of the credit quality of the counterparties to our derivatives.
Table 10.7 presents the impact of derivative valuation adjustments (excluding the effect of any related hedges), which are included in net gains (losses) from trading and securities on the consolidated statement of income. For additional information, see Note 17 (Revenue and Expenses).

Credit Derivatives
Credit derivative contracts transfer the credit risk of a reference asset or entity from one party (the purchaser of credit protection) to another party (the seller of credit protection). We use credit derivatives to assist customers in managing their risks, to manage our counterparty credit risk, and to hedge certain loan exposures. We act as both a purchaser and seller of credit protection. We may purchase and sell credit protection on corporate debt obligations through the use of credit default swaps, risk participation swaps or other credit derivatives. As a seller of credit protection, we would be required to perform under the sold credit derivatives in the event of default by the referenced obligors, such as bankruptcy, capital restructuring or lack of principal and/or interest payment.
Table 10.9 provides details of sold credit derivatives.

December 31, 2025
Credit default swaps $ 12,568 922
Risk participation swaps 6,208 4,052
Total credit derivatives $ 18,776 4,974
Total credit protection sold represents the estimated maximum exposure to loss that would be incurred if, upon an event of default, the value of our interests and any associated collateral declined to zero. Maximum exposure does not take into consideration any recovery value from the referenced obligation or offset from collateral held or any economic hedges. Non-investment grade amounts represent those credit derivatives with a higher risk of us being required to perform under the terms of the credit derivative based on the risk of the underlying assets. We consider the credit risk to be low if the underlying assets referenced by the credit derivative have an external rating that is investment grade. If an external rating is not available, we classify the credit derivative as non-investment grade.
We manage our maximum exposure to sold credit derivatives by requiring collateral from our counterparties, which may include cash and non-cash collateral, and entering into purchased credit derivatives with identical or similar reference positions in order to achieve our desired credit risk profile. Our credit risk management approach is designed to provide the ability to recover amounts that would be paid under sold credit derivatives.
Credit-Risk Contingent Features
Certain of our derivative contracts contain provisions whereby if the credit rating of our debt were to be downgraded by certain major credit rating agencies, the counterparty could demand additional collateral or require termination or replacement of derivative instruments in a net liability position. Table 10.10 illustrates our exposure to OTC bilateral derivative contracts with credit-risk contingent features, collateral we have posted, and the additional collateral we would be required to post if the credit rating of our debt was downgraded below investment grade.

Note 11: Fair Value Measurements
We use fair value measurements to recognize fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to fulfill fair value disclosure requirements. Assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in Table 11.1 in this Note. Additionally, from time to time, we recognize fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring adjustments typically involve application of an accounting method such as lower of cost or fair value (LOCOM) and the measurement alternative, or write-downs of individual assets. Assets recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are presented in Table 11.4 in this Note. We provide in Table 11.9 estimates of fair value for financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value, such as loans and debt liabilities carried at amortized cost.
See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our 2025 Form 10-K for a discussion of how we determine fair value. For descriptions of the valuation methodologies we use for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis, see Note 14 (Fair Value Measurements) in our 2025 Form 10-K.
FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY. We classify our assets and liabilities recognized at fair value as either Level 1, 2, or 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The highest priority (Level 1) is assigned to valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority (Level 3) is assigned to valuations that include one or more significant unobservable inputs. See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our 2025 Form 10-K for a detailed description of the fair value hierarchy.
In the determination of the classification of financial instruments in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, we consider all available information, including observable market data, indications of market liquidity and orderliness of transactions, and our understanding of the valuation techniques and significant inputs used. This determination is ultimately based upon the specific facts and circumstances of each instrument or instrument category and judgments are made regarding the significance of the unobservable inputs to the instruments’ fair value measurement in its entirety. If one or more unobservable inputs is considered significant, the instrument is classified as Level 3.
We do not classify nonmarketable equity securities in the fair value hierarchy if we use the non-published net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient to measure fair value. Marketable equity securities with published NAVs are classified in the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value Option
The fair value option is an irrevocable election, generally only permitted upon initial recognition of financial assets or liabilities, to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. We may elect the fair value option to align the measurement model with how the financial assets or liabilities are managed or to reduce complexity or accounting asymmetry. Following is a discussion of the portfolios for which we elected the fair value option. For
additional information, including the basis for our fair value option elections, see Note 14 (Fair Value Measurements) in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Table 11.7 reflects differences between the fair value carrying amount of the assets and liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option and the contractual aggregate unpaid principal amount at maturity.

Prior period balances have been revised to conform with the current period presentation. For additional information, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).
For performing loans, instrument-specific credit risk gains or losses are derived principally by determining the change in fair value of the loans due to changes in the observable or implied credit spread. Credit spread is the market yield on the loans less the relevant risk-free benchmark interest rate. For nonperforming loans, we attribute all changes in fair value to instrument-specific credit risk. For trading loans and loans held for sale accounted for under the fair value option, which are included in trading assets and other assets, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet, instrument-specific credit gains or losses were insignificant for the second quarter and first half of both 2026 and 2025.
For long-term debt, instrument-specific credit risk gains or losses represent the impact of changes in fair value due to changes in our credit spread and are generally derived using observable secondary bond market information. These impacts are recognized within the debit valuation adjustments (DVA) in OCI. See Note 20 (Other Comprehensive Income) for additional information.

Note 11: Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Table 11.9 presents a summary of fair value estimates for financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Some financial instruments are excluded from the scope of this table, such as certain insurance contracts, certain nonmarketable equity securities, and leases. This table also excludes assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments such as the value of the long-term relationships with our deposit, credit card and trust customers, MSRs, premises and equipment, goodwill and deferred taxes.
Loan commitments, standby letters of credit and commercial and similar letters of credit are not included in Table 11.9. A reasonable estimate of the fair value of these instruments is the carrying value of deferred fees plus the allowance for unfunded credit commitments, which totaled $606 million and $639 million at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The total of the fair value calculations presented does not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying fair value of the Company.

Note 12: Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities
Involvement with Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with special purpose entities (SPEs), which include corporations, trusts, limited liability companies or partnerships that are established for a limited purpose. SPEs are often formed in connection with securitization transactions whereby financial assets are transferred to an SPE. SPEs formed in connection with securitization transactions are generally considered variable interest entities (VIEs). The VIE may alter the risk profile of the asset by entering into derivative transactions or obtaining credit support, and issues various forms of interests in those assets to investors. When we transfer financial assets from our consolidated balance sheet to a VIE in connection with a securitization, we typically receive cash and sometimes other interests in the VIE as proceeds for the assets we transfer. In certain transactions with VIEs, we may retain the right to service the transferred assets and repurchase the transferred assets if the outstanding balance of the assets falls below the level at which the cost to service the assets exceeds the benefits. In addition, we may purchase the right to service loans transferred to a VIE by a third party.
In connection with our securitization or other VIE activities, we have various forms of ongoing involvement with VIEs, which may include:
•underwriting securities issued by VIEs and subsequently making markets in those securities;
•providing credit enhancement on securities issued by VIEs through the use of letters of credit or financial guarantees;
•entering into derivative contracts with VIEs;
•holding senior or subordinated interests in VIEs;
•acting as servicer or investment manager for VIEs;
•providing administrative or trustee services to VIEs; and
•providing seller financing to VIEs.
Loan Sales and Securitization Activity
We periodically transfer consumer and commercial loans and other types of financial assets in securitization and whole loan sale transactions.
MORTGAGE LOANS SOLD TO GOVERNMENT SPONSORED ENTERPRISES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH GINNIE MAE. In the normal course of business we sell residential and commercial mortgage loans to GSEs. These loans are generally transferred into securitizations sponsored by the GSEs, which provide certain credit guarantees to investors and servicers. We also may transfer mortgage loans into securitization pools pursuant to Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) guidelines which are insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA. Mortgage loans eligible for securitization with the GSEs or GNMA are considered conforming loans. The GSEs or GNMA design the structure of these securitizations, sponsor the involved VIEs, and have power over the activities most significant to the VIE.
We account for loans transferred in conforming mortgage loan securitization transactions as sales and do not consolidate the VIEs as we are not the primary beneficiary. In exchange for the transfer of loans, we typically receive securities issued by the VIEs which we sell to third parties for cash or hold for investment purposes as HTM or AFS securities. We may retain servicing rights on the transferred loans. As a servicer, we may retain the option to repurchase loans from certain loan securitizations,
which becomes exercisable based on delinquency status such as when three scheduled loan payments are past due. When we have the unilateral option to repurchase a loan, we recognize the loan and a corresponding liability on our balance sheet regardless of our intent to repurchase the loan, and the loans remain pledged to the securitization. At June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we recognized assets and related liabilities of $455 million and $751 million, respectively, where we did not exercise our option to repurchase eligible loans. We repurchased loans of $54 million and $109 million during the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, and $99 million and $196 million during the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively.
Upon transfers of loans, we also provide indemnification for losses incurred due to material breaches of contractual representations and warranties as well as other recourse arrangements. At June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, our liability for these repurchase and recourse arrangements was $156 million and $189 million, respectively, and the maximum exposure to loss was $13.8 billion and $13.9 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Substantially all residential servicing activity is related to assets transferred to GSE and GNMA securitizations. See Note 6 (Mortgage Banking Activities) for additional information about residential and commercial servicing rights, advances and servicing fees.
NONCONFORMING MORTGAGE LOAN SECURITIZATIONS. In the normal course of business, we sell nonconforming mortgage loans in securitization transactions that we design and sponsor. Nonconforming mortgage loan securitizations do not involve a government credit guarantee, and accordingly, beneficial interest holders are subject to credit risk of the underlying assets held by the securitization VIE. We typically originate the transferred loans and account for the transfers as sales. We may retain the right to service the loans and may hold other beneficial interests issued by the VIE, such as debt securities and loans held for investment purposes, including those required to be held pursuant to credit risk retention rules. For our commercial nonconforming mortgage loan securitizations accounted for as sales, we do not consolidate the VIE because the most significant decisions impacting the performance of the VIE are generally made by the special servicer or the controlling class security holder. For our residential nonconforming mortgage loan securitizations accounted for as sales, we either do not hold variable interests that we consider potentially significant or are not the primary servicer for a majority of the VIE assets.
WHOLE LOAN SALE TRANSACTIONS. We may also sell whole loans where we have continuing involvement in the form of financing and we account for these transfers as sales. When sales are to VIEs, we do not consolidate the VIEs as we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIEs.
Table 12.1 presents information about transfers of assets during the periods presented for which we recognized the transfers as sales and have continuing involvement with the transferred assets. In connection with these transfers, we received proceeds and recognized servicing assets, securities, and/or loans, as applicable. Each of these interests are initially measured at fair value. Transfers of residential mortgage loans are transactions
Wells Fargo & Company 103
Note 12: Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities (continued)
with the GSEs or GNMA and generally result in no gain or loss because the loans are typically measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Transfers of commercial mortgage loans include both transactions with the GSEs or GNMA and nonconforming
transactions. These commercial mortgage loans are carried at the lower of cost or market, and we recognize gains on such transfers when the market value is greater than the carrying value of the loan when it is sold.

These debt securities and loans are held for investment purposes and are classified as available-for-sale securities, held-to-maturity securities, or as loans, including amounts required to be held pursuant to credit risk retention rules. Excludes trading debt securities held temporarily for market-marking purposes, which are sold to third parties at or shortly after securitization settlement, of $666 million and $1.1 billion during the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, and $1.3 billion and $1.8 billion during the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively.
In the normal course of business, we purchase certain non-agency securities at initial securitization or subsequently in the secondary market, which we hold for investment. We may also provide seller financing in the form of loans. We received cash flows of $146 million and $181 million during the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, and $4 million and $10 million during the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, for VIEs with continuing involvement, related to principal and interest payments on these securities and loans. These amounts exclude cash flows related to trading activities.
RESECURITIZATION ACTIVITIES. We enter into resecuritization transactions as part of our trading activities to accommodate the investment and risk management activities of our customers. In resecuritization transactions, we transfer trading debt securities to VIEs in exchange for new beneficial interests that are sold to third parties at or shortly after securitization settlement. This activity is performed for customers seeking a specific return or risk profile. Substantially all of our transactions involve the resecuritization of conforming mortgage-backed securities issued by the GSEs or guaranteed by GNMA. We do not consolidate the resecuritization VIEs as we share in the decision-making power with third parties and do not hold significant economic interests in the VIEs other than for market-making activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we transferred trading debt securities of $13.9 billion and $8.0 billion, respectively, to resecuritization VIEs, and retained trading debt securities of $1.2 billion and $932 million, respectively. These amounts are not included in Table 12.1. As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we held $1.5 billion and $1.1 billion of trading debt securities, respectively. Total resecuritization VIE assets, to which we sold assets and hold an interest, were $56.6 billion and $52.9 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Sold or Securitized Loans Serviced for Others
Table 12.2 presents information about loans that we have originated and sold or securitized in which we have ongoing involvement as servicer. For loans sold or securitized where servicing is our only form of continuing involvement, we generally experience a loss only if we were required to repurchase a delinquent loan or foreclosed asset due to a breach in representations and warranties associated with our loan sale or servicing contracts. Delinquent loans include loans 90 days or more past due and loans in bankruptcy, regardless of delinquency status.
Table 12.2 excludes mortgage loans sold to and held or securitized by GSEs or GNMA of $430.2 billion and $461.8 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively, due to guarantees provided by GSEs and the FHA and VA, which limit our credit risk associated with such securitizations. Delinquent loans and foreclosed assets related to loans sold to and held or securitized by GSEs and GNMA were $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Unconsolidated VIEs
MORTGAGE LOAN SECURITIZATIONS. Table 12.3 includes nonconforming mortgage loan securitizations where we originate and transfer the loans to the unconsolidated securitization VIEs that we sponsor. For additional information about these VIEs, see the “Loan Sales and Securitization Activity” section within this Note.
Conforming loan securitization and resecuritization transactions involving the GSEs and GNMA are excluded from Table 12.3 because we are not the sponsor or we do not have power over the activities most significant to the VIEs. Additionally, due to the nature of the guarantees provided by the GSEs and the FHA and VA, our credit risk associated with these VIEs is limited. For additional information about conforming mortgage loan securitizations and resecuritizations, see the “Loan Sales and Securitization Activity” and “Resecuritization Activities” sections within this Note.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. We may transfer purchased industrial development bonds and GSE credit enhancements to VIEs in exchange for beneficial interests. We may also acquire such beneficial interests in transactions where we do not act as a transferor. We own all of the beneficial interests and may also service the underlying mortgages that serve as collateral to the bonds. The GSEs have the power to direct the servicing and workout activities of the VIE in the event of a default, therefore we do not have control over the key decisions of the VIEs.
OTHER VIE STRUCTURES. We engage in various forms of structured finance arrangements with other VIEs, including asset-backed finance structures. Collateral may include rental properties and mortgage loans. We may participate in structuring or marketing the arrangements as well as provide financing, service one or more of the underlying assets, or enter into derivatives with the VIEs. We may also receive fees for those services. We are not the primary beneficiary of these structures because we do not have power to direct the most significant activities of the VIEs.
Wells Fargo & Company 105
Note 12: Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities (continued)
Table 12.3 provides a summary of our exposure to the unconsolidated VIEs described above. We exclude certain transactions with unconsolidated VIEs when our continuing involvement is temporary or administrative in nature or insignificant in size.
In Table 12.3, Total VIE assets represents the remaining principal balance of assets held by unconsolidated VIEs using the most current information available. Carrying value is the amount on our consolidated balance sheet related to our involvement with the unconsolidated VIEs.
Maximum exposure to loss represents estimated loss that would be incurred under severe, hypothetical circumstances, for which we believe the possibility is extremely remote, such as where the value of our interests and any associated collateral declines to
zero, without any consideration of recovery or offset from any economic hedges. Accordingly, this disclosure is not an indication of expected loss.
Maximum exposure to loss is determined as the carrying value of our investment in the VIEs excluding the unconditional repurchase options that have not been exercised, plus the remaining undrawn liquidity and lending commitments, certain loss sharing obligations associated with loans originated, sold, and serviced under certain GSE programs, the notional amount of net written derivative contracts, and generally the notional amount of, or stressed loss estimate for, other commitments and guarantees. See Note 13 (Guarantees and Other Commitments) for additional information about our guarantees and commitments.

INVOLVEMENT WITH TAX CREDIT VIES. In addition to the unconsolidated VIEs in Table 12.3, we may invest in or provide funding to affordable housing, renewable energy or similar projects that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal income tax credits and other income tax benefits. Our affordable housing investments generate low-income housing tax credits and our renewable energy investments generate either production tax credits, investment tax credits, or both. The projects are typically managed by third-party sponsors who have the power over the VIE’s assets; therefore, we do not consolidate the VIEs. The carrying value of our equity investments in tax credit VIEs was $21.5 billion and $21.2 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Additionally, we had loans to tax credit VIEs with a carrying value of $1.8 billion and $2.0 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Our maximum exposure to loss for tax credit VIEs at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, was $31.2 billion and $31.1 billion, respectively. Our maximum exposure to loss included total unfunded equity and lending commitments of $7.9 billion and $7.8 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31,
2025, respectively. Under these commitments, we are required to provide additional financial support during the investment period, at the discretion of project sponsors, or for certain renewable energy investments, on a contingent basis based on the amount of income tax credits earned. For equity investments accounted for using the proportional amortization method, a liability is recognized in accrued expenses and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet for unfunded commitments that are either legally binding or contingent but probable of funding. The liability recognized for these commitments at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, was $6.6 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively. Substantially all of these commitments are expected to be funded within three years. See Note 13 (Guarantees and Other Commitments) for additional information about unrecognized commitments to purchase equity securities.
Table 12.4 summarizes the impacts to our consolidated statement of income related to our affordable housing and renewable energy equity investments, which are accounted for using either the proportional amortization method or the equity method.

Wells Fargo & Company 107
Note 12: Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities (continued)
Consolidated VIEs
We consolidate VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary. We are the primary beneficiary of the following structure types:
CREDIT CARD SECURITIZATIONS. We securitize credit card loans to provide a source of funding. Credit card securitizations involve the transfer of credit card loans to a master trust that issues debt securities to third party investors that are collateralized by the transferred credit card loans. The underlying securitized credit card loans and other assets in the master trust are available only for payment of the debt securities issued by the master trust; they are not available to pay our other obligations. In addition, the investors in the debt securities do not have recourse to the general credit of Wells Fargo.
We consolidate the master trust because, as the servicer of the credit card loans, we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance and hold variable interests potentially significant to the VIE. We hold a minimum of 5% seller’s interest in the transferred credit card loans and we retain subordinated securities issued by the master trust, which collectively could result in exposure to potentially significant losses or benefits from the master trust. As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we held seller’s interest of $2.7 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, in the transferred credit card loans and $1.5 billion (at par) of subordinated securities issued by the master trust in both periods. Both the seller's interest and the subordinated securities are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements. The transferred credit card loans and debt securities issued to third parties are recognized on our consolidated balance sheet, and classified as loans and long-term debt, respectively.
CORPORATE LOAN STRUCTURES. We consolidate a VIE associated with our customer accommodation trading activities involving derivatives and trading loans. These derivatives provide customers with exposure to the returns of referenced corporate loans, which we may hedge by holding those loans. We fund the VIE to purchase the loans, design and sponsor the entity, control its key decisions, and hold a significant variable interest.
COMMERCIAL FINANCING STRUCTURES. We provide the majority of debt and equity financing to an SPE that engages in commercial lending and leasing to specific vendors, and we service the underlying collateral. We consolidate this VIE as we hold a significant variable interest through our majority equity ownership and debt financing, which exposes us to potentially significant benefits and losses, and we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance.
MUNICIPAL TENDER OPTION BOND (MTOB) TRANSACTIONS. We use MTOBs to finance our purchase of municipal securities through the issuance of short-term debt to investors that is collateralized by the underlying municipal securities. We sponsor trusts that hold these municipal securities and issue puttable floating rate securities to third-party investors. We retain a residual interest in the trusts and may also serve in other roles for the trusts, including as remarketing agent or liquidity provider for the debt issued to investors. As the residual interest holder, we have the power to direct the activities that significantly affect the trusts' economic performance and consolidate the trusts.
Table 12.5 presents a summary of financial assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs. The carrying value represents assets and liabilities recognized on our consolidated balance sheet. Total VIE assets includes affiliate balances that are eliminated upon consolidation, and therefore in some instances will differ from the carrying value of assets.
On our consolidated balance sheet, we separately disclose (1) the consolidated assets of certain VIEs that can only be used to settle the liabilities of those VIEs, and (2) the consolidated liabilities of certain VIEs for which the VIE creditors do not have recourse to Wells Fargo.

Note 13: Guarantees and Other Commitments
Guarantees are contracts that contingently require us to make payments to a guaranteed party based on an event or a change in an underlying asset, liability, rate or index. For additional

Maximum exposure to loss represents the estimated loss that would be incurred under an assumed hypothetical circumstance, despite what we believe is a remote possibility, where the value of our interests and any associated collateral declines to zero. Maximum exposure to loss estimates in Table 13.1 do not reflect economic hedges or collateral we could use to offset or recover losses we may incur under our guarantee agreements. Accordingly, these amounts are not an indication of expected loss. We believe the carrying value is more representative of our current exposure to loss than maximum exposure to loss. The carrying value represents the fair value of the guarantee, if any, and also includes an ACL for guarantees, if applicable. In determining the ACL for guarantees, we consider the credit risk of the related contingent obligation.
For our guarantees in Table 13.1, non-investment grade represents those guarantees on which we have a higher risk of performance under the terms of the guarantee, which is determined based on an external rating or an internal credit grade that is below investment grade.
WRITTEN OPTIONS. We enter into written foreign currency options and over-the-counter written equity put options that are derivative contracts that have the characteristics of a guarantee. The fair value of written options represents our view of the probability that we will be required to perform under the contract. The fair value of these written options was a liability of $148 million and an asset of $101 million at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. The fair value may be an asset as a result of deferred premiums on certain option trades. The maximum exposure to loss represents the notional value of these derivative contracts. At June 30, 2026, the maximum exposure to loss was $61.7 billion, with $58.8 billion expiring in three years or less compared with $45.4 billion and $42.0 billion,
respectively, at December 31, 2025. See Note 10 (Derivatives) for additional information regarding written derivative contracts.
GUARANTEES OF SUBSIDIARIES. The Parent fully and unconditionally guarantees the payment of principal, interest, and any other amounts that may be due on securities that its 100% owned finance subsidiary, Wells Fargo Finance LLC, may issue. These securities are not guaranteed by any other subsidiary of the Parent. The guaranteed liabilities were $2.8 billion and $1.7 billion at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. These guarantees rank on parity with all of the Parent’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
MERCHANT SERVICES. We provide merchants with processing of debit and credit card transactions through payment networks and serve as a card network sponsor for a payment company. In our role as a merchant acquiring bank, we have a potential obligation in connection with disputes between the merchant and the cardholder that are resolved in favor of the cardholder, referred to as a charge-back transaction. We estimate our potential maximum exposure to be the total merchant transaction volume processed in the preceding four months, which is generally the lifecycle for a charge-back transaction. As of June 30, 2026, our potential maximum exposure was approximately $322.2 billion, and related losses were insignificant.
Wells Fargo & Company 109
Note 13: Guarantees and Other Commitments (continued)
OTHER COMMITMENTS. As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had commitments to purchase equity securities of $9.1 billion and $9.2 billion, respectively, which predominantly included Federal Reserve Bank stock and tax credit investments accounted for using the equity method.
We have commitments to enter into resale and securities borrowing agreements as well as repurchase and securities lending agreements with certain counterparties, including central clearing organizations. The amount of our unfunded contractual commitments for resale and securities borrowing agreements was $65.0 billion and $34.9 billion as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. The amount of our unfunded contractual commitments for repurchase and securities lending agreements was $27.9 billion and $6.8 billion as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Given the nature of these commitments, they are excluded from Table 3.4 (Unfunded Credit Commitments) in Note 3 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses).
110 Wells Fargo & Company
Note 14: Securities Financing Activities
We enter into resale and repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending agreements (collectively, “securities financing activities”) typically to finance trading assets (including securities and derivatives), acquire securities to cover trading liability positions, accommodate customers’ financing needs, and settle other securities obligations. These activities are conducted through our broker-dealer subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, through other bank entities. Our securities financing activities predominantly involve high-quality, liquid securities such as U.S. Treasury securities and government agency securities and, to a lesser extent, less liquid securities, including equity securities, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities. We account for these transactions as collateralized financings in which we typically receive or pledge securities as collateral. We believe these financing transactions generally do not have material credit risk given the collateral provided and the related monitoring processes.
OFFSETTING OF SECURITIES FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Table 14.1 presents resale and repurchase agreements subject to master repurchase agreements (MRA) and securities borrowing and lending agreements subject to master securities lending agreements (MSLA). Where legally enforceable, these master netting arrangements give the ability, in the event of default by the counterparty, to liquidate securities held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty.
Securities financings with the same counterparty are presented net on our consolidated balance sheet, provided certain balance sheet netting criteria are met. The majority of transactions subject to these agreements do not meet those criteria and thus are not eligible for balance sheet netting.
Securities collateral we pledge is not netted on our consolidated balance sheet against the related liability. Securities collateral we receive is not recognized on our consolidated balance sheet. Collateral pledged or received may be increased or decreased over time to maintain certain contractual thresholds, as the assets underlying each arrangement fluctuate in value. For additional information on collateral pledged and received, see Note 15 (Pledged Assets and Collateral). Generally, these agreements require collateral to exceed the asset or liability recognized on the balance sheet. The following table includes the amount of collateral pledged or received related to exposures subject to enforceable MRAs or MSLAs. While these agreements are typically over-collateralized, the disclosure in this table is limited to the reported amount of such collateral to the amount of the related recognized asset or liability for each counterparty.
In addition to the amounts included in Table 14.1, we also have balance sheet netting related to derivatives that is disclosed in Note 10 (Derivatives).

Note 14: Securities Financing Activities (continued)
REPURCHASE AND SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENTS. Securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements are effectively short-term collateralized borrowings. In these transactions, we receive cash in exchange for transferring securities as collateral and recognize an obligation to reacquire the securities for cash at the transaction’s maturity. These types of transactions create risks, including (1) the counterparty may fail to return the securities at maturity, (2) the fair value of the securities transferred may decline below the amount of our obligation to reacquire the securities, and therefore create an obligation for us to pledge additional amounts, and (3) the counterparty may accelerate the maturity
on demand, requiring us to reacquire the security prior to contractual maturity. We attempt to mitigate these risks in various ways. Our collateral predominantly consists of highly liquid securities. In addition, we underwrite and monitor the financial strength of our counterparties, monitor the fair value of collateral pledged relative to contractually required repurchase amounts, and monitor that our collateral is properly returned through the clearing and settlement process in advance of our cash repayment. Table 14.2 provides the gross amounts recognized on our consolidated balance sheet (before the effects of offsetting) of our liabilities for repurchase and securities lending agreements disaggregated by underlying collateral type.

Note 15: Pledged Assets and Collateral
Pledged Assets
We pledge financial assets that we own to counterparties for the collateralization of securities and other collateralized financing activities, to secure trust and public deposits, and to collateralize derivative contracts. See Note 14 (Securities Financing Activities) for additional information on securities financing activities. As part of our liquidity management strategy, we may also pledge assets to secure borrowings and letters of credit from Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs), to maintain potential borrowing capacity with FHLBs and at the discount window of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB), and for other purposes as required or permitted by law or insurance statutory requirements. The collateral that we pledge may include our own collateral as well as collateral that we have received from third parties and have the right to repledge.
Table 15.1 provides the carrying values of assets recognized on our consolidated balance sheet that we have pledged to third parties. Assets pledged in transactions where our counterparty has the right to sell or repledge those assets are presented parenthetically on our consolidated balance sheet.
VIE RELATED. We also pledge assets in connection with various types of transactions entered into with VIEs, which are excluded from Table 15.1. These pledged assets can only be used to settle the liabilities of those entities. We also have loans recognized on our consolidated balance sheet which represent certain delinquent loans that are eligible for repurchase from GNMA loan securitizations. See Note 12 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) for additional information on consolidated and unconsolidated VIE assets.

Note 16: Operating Segments
Our management reporting is organized into four reportable operating segments: Consumer Banking and Lending; Commercial Banking; Corporate and Investment Banking; and Wealth and Investment Management. All other business activities that are not included in the reportable operating segments have been included in Corporate. We define our reportable operating segments based on the product or service provided and the type of customer served, and their results are based on our management reporting process. The management reporting process measures the performance of the reportable operating segments based on the Company’s management structure, and the results are regularly reviewed with our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and relevant senior management. Our CEO is the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and reviews actual and forecasted operating segment net income for assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The management reporting process is based on U.S. GAAP and includes specific adjustments, such as funds transfer pricing for asset/liability management, shared revenue and expenses, and taxable-equivalent adjustments to consistently reflect income from taxable and tax-exempt sources, which allows management to assess performance consistently across the operating segments.
Consumer Banking and Lending offers diversified financial products and services for consumers and small businesses. These financial products and services include checking and savings accounts, credit and debit cards as well as home, auto, personal, and small business lending. We also provide personalized wealth management and financial planning services through our branch channel.
Commercial Banking provides financial solutions to private, family owned and certain public companies. Products and services include banking and credit products across multiple industry sectors and municipalities, secured lending and lease products, and treasury management.
Corporate and Investment Banking delivers a suite of capital markets, banking, and financial products and services to corporate, commercial real estate, government and institutional clients globally. Products and services include corporate banking, investment banking, treasury management, commercial real estate lending and capital markets, equity and fixed income solutions as well as sales, trading, and research capabilities.
Wealth and Investment Management provides personalized wealth management, brokerage, financial planning, lending, trust and fiduciary products and services to affluent, high-net worth and ultra-high-net worth clients. We operate through financial advisors in our brokerage and wealth offices, independent offices, and digitally through WellsTrade® and Intuitive Investor®.
Corporate includes corporate treasury and enterprise functions, net of expense allocations, in support of the reportable operating segments (including funds transfer pricing, capital, and liquidity), as well as our investment portfolio and venture capital investments. Corporate also includes results for previously divested businesses.
Basis of Presentation
FUNDS TRANSFER PRICING. Corporate treasury manages a funds transfer pricing methodology that considers interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other product characteristics. Operating segments pay a funding charge for their assets and receive a funding credit for their deposits, both of which are included in net interest income. The net impact of the funding charges or credits is recognized in corporate treasury.
REVENUE SHARING AND EXPENSE ALLOCATIONS. When lines of business jointly serve customers, the line of business that is responsible for providing the product or service recognizes revenue or expense with a referral fee paid or an allocation of cost to the other line of business based on established internal revenue-sharing agreements.
When a line of business uses a service provided by another line of business, expense is generally allocated based on the cost and use of the service provided. Enterprise functions, such as operations, technology, and risk management, are included in Corporate with an allocation of their applicable costs to the reportable operating segments based on the level of support provided by the enterprise function. We periodically assess and update our revenue sharing and expense allocation methodologies.
Table 16.1 includes the allocated expenses from Corporate to the reportable operating segments within the relevant personnel and nonpersonnel expense lines. Personnel expense is a significant expense for our reportable operating segments. Nonpersonnel expense includes other expense categories that are consistent with those presented on our consolidated statement of income, such as technology, telecommunications and equipment expense, occupancy expense, and professional and outside services expense.
TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT ADJUSTMENTS. Taxable-equivalent adjustments related to tax-exempt income on certain loans and debt securities are included in net interest income, while taxable-equivalent adjustments related to income tax credits for affordable housing and renewable energy investments are included in noninterest income, in each case with corresponding impacts to income tax expense (benefit). Adjustments are included in Corporate, Commercial Banking, and Corporate and Investment Banking and are eliminated to reconcile to the Company’s consolidated financial results.

In connection with these changes, we reclassified the gains (losses) related to our physical commodities inventory, including the related hedging impacts, from other noninterest income to net gains from trading activities. Prior period balances have been revised to conform with the current period presentation. For additional information, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).

Note 18: Employee Benefits
Pension and Postretirement Plans
We sponsor a frozen noncontributory qualified defined benefit retirement plan, the Wells Fargo & Company Cash Balance Plan (Cash Balance Plan), which covers eligible employees of Wells Fargo. The Cash Balance Plan was frozen on July 1, 2009, and no new benefits accrue after that date. For additional information on our pension and postretirement plans, including plan assumptions, investment strategy and asset allocation, projected benefit payments, and valuation methodologies used
for assets measured at fair value, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and Note 21 (Employee Benefits) in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Note 21: Regulatory Capital Requirements and Other Restrictions
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Company and each of its subsidiary banks are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements promulgated by federal banking regulators. The FRB establishes capital requirements for the consolidated financial holding company, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has similar requirements for the Company’s national banks, including Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the Bank).
Table 21.1 presents regulatory capital information for the Company and the Bank in accordance with Basel III capital
requirements. We must calculate our risk-based capital ratios under both the Standardized and Advanced Approaches. The Standardized Approach applies assigned risk weights to broad risk categories, while the calculation of risk-weighted assets (RWAs) under the Advanced Approach differs by requiring applicable banks to utilize a risk-sensitive methodology, which relies upon the use of internal credit models, and includes an operational risk component.

(1)Adjusted average assets consists of total quarterly average assets less goodwill and other permitted Tier 1 capital deductions. The Tier 1 leverage ratio consists of Tier 1 capital divided by total quarterly average assets, excluding goodwill and certain other items as determined under capital rule requirements.
(2)The supplementary leverage ratio consists of Tier 1 capital divided by total leverage exposure. Total leverage exposure consists of total consolidated assets adjusted for certain off-balance sheet exposures, goodwill, and other permitted Tier 1 capital deductions.
At June 30, 2026, the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1 and Total capital ratio requirements for the Company included a global systemically important bank (G-SIB) surcharge of 1.50% and a countercyclical buffer of 0.00%. In addition, these ratios included a stress capital buffer of 2.50% under the Standardized Approach and a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% under the Advanced Approach. The Company is required to maintain these risk-based capital ratios and to maintain a supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) that included a supplementary leverage buffer of 0.50% to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. The CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratio requirements for the Bank included a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% under both the Standardized and Advanced
Approaches. The G-SIB surcharge and countercyclical buffer are not applicable to the Bank. At June 30, 2026, the Bank and our other insured depository institutions were considered well-capitalized under the requirements of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
Capital Planning Requirements
The FRB’s capital plan rule establishes capital planning and other requirements that govern capital distributions, including dividends and share repurchases, by certain large bank holding companies (BHCs), including Wells Fargo.
124 Wells Fargo & Company
The FRB conducts an annual Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review exercise and has also published guidance regarding its supervisory expectations for capital planning, including capital policies regarding the process relating to common stock dividend and repurchase decisions in the FRB’s SR Letter 15-18. The Parent’s ability to make certain capital distributions is subject to the requirements of the capital plan rule and is also subject to the Parent meeting or exceeding certain regulatory capital minimums.
Loan and Dividend Restrictions
Federal law restricts the amount and the terms of both credit and non-credit transactions between a bank and its nonbank affiliates. Additionally, federal laws and regulations limit, and regulators can impose additional limitations on, the dividends that a national bank may pay.
Our nonbank subsidiaries are also limited by certain federal and state statutory provisions and regulations covering the amount of dividends that may be paid in any given year. In addition, we have entered into a Support Agreement dated June 28, 2017, as amended and restated on June 26, 2019, among Wells Fargo & Company, the parent holding company (Parent), WFC Holdings, LLC, an intermediate holding company and subsidiary of the Parent (IHC), the Bank, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC, and certain other subsidiaries of the Parent designated from time to time as material entities for resolution planning purposes or identified from time to time as related support entities in our resolution plan, pursuant to which the IHC may be restricted from making dividend payments to the Parent if certain liquidity and/or capital metrics fall below defined triggers or if the Parent’s board of directors authorizes it to file a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
For additional information on loan and dividend restrictions, see Note 25 (Regulatory Capital Requirements and Other Restrictions) in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Cash Restrictions
Cash and cash equivalents may be restricted as to usage or withdrawal. Table 21.2 provides a summary of restrictions on cash and cash equivalents.
