Summary Financials
Revenue decreased YoY on lower net interest income due to the impact of lower interest rates on crediting rates to our operating segments and lower noninterest income reflecting lower revenue from our venture capital investments and a decrease in lease income related to the sale of our rail car leasing business
Noninterest expense down YoY due to lower severance expense and lower lease expense associated with the sale of our rail car leasing business
Outlook
Net Interest Income
Expect 2026 net interest income (NII) to be +/- $50 billion, unchanged from prior guidance
Expect 4Q26 net interest income to be ~$13 billion
Net interest income performance will ultimately be determined by a variety of factors, many of which are uncertain, including the absolute level of rates and the shape of the yield curve; deposit balances, mix and pricing; and loan demand
Noninterest Expense
Expect 2026 noninterest expense to be ~$55.7 billion, unchanged from prior guidance

Net Interest Income Excluding MarketsWells Fargo & Company and Subsidiaries
NET INTEREST INCOME EXCLUDING MARKETS
We also evaluate the Company's net interest income excluding the net interest income of the Corporate and Investment Banking Markets (Markets) line of 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.
The table below provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure.

Tangible Common EquityWells Fargo & Company and Subsidiaries
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. One of these ratios is 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 return on average tangible common equity, which utilizes tangible common equity, is a useful financial measure because it enables management, investors, and others to assess the Company's use of equity.
The table below provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP financial measures.
