Three years of key numbers
Every number links to its filing; hover for the XBRL tag. A dash means the number isn't cleanly available, and we don't estimate it.
| US$ | FY2023 | FY2024 | FY2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total revenue | $82.6B | $82.3B | $83.7B |
| Wells Fargo net income | $19.1B | $19.7B | $21.3B |
| Net interest income | $52.4B | $47.7B | $47.5B |
| Noninterest revenue | $30.2B | $34.6B | $36.2B |
| Deposits (year end) | $1.36T | $1.37T | $1.43T |
| Total assets (year end) | $1.93T | $1.93T | $2.15T |
| Shareholders' equity (year end) | $185.7B | $179.1B | $181.1B |
| Diluted shares | 3.72B | 3.47B | 3.24B |
- Total revenue: Net interest income plus noninterest income such as fees, card income and trading. It is counted after the interest paid to depositors and lenders.
- Wells Fargo net income: Net income attributable to Wells Fargo, after credit-loss provisions, taxes and the share belonging to minority owners.
- Net interest income: Interest earned on loans and securities minus interest paid on deposits and borrowings.
- Noninterest revenue: Fees, commissions, trading and other revenue that isn't interest.
- Deposits: Money customers keep at the bank, a liability on its balance sheet.
- Total assets: Everything on the balance sheet: loans, securities, cash, trading assets and more.
- Shareholders' equity: Book value, including preferred stock.
- Diluted shares: Weighted average diluted common shares for the year.
About these numbers
- Banks don't report revenue the way other companies do. Revenue here is net interest income plus noninterest income, after interest expense, as Wells Fargo reports it.
- Segment revenue is before Corporate and reconciling items, so the four segments don't add up exactly to total revenue.
- Net income is net income attributable to Wells Fargo.
- Wells Fargo files its financial statements and risk factors in the annual report inside its 10-K, so annual figures and the risk link point to that document.
- The provision for credit losses isn't shown: it isn't tagged in a form that could be matched to a consistent three-year series.
What we left out
- Operating cash flow: for a bank it mostly reflects trading and lending flows and says little about the business, so we leave it out.
- Total debt: borrowing is a normal part of how a bank funds itself, alongside deposits, so a debt total isn't comparable with other companies' and isn't shown.
- Cash: a bank's cash is mostly balances held with central banks for liquidity, not a cushion in the usual sense, so it isn't shown.

Each row is that company’s latest fiscal year from its own 10-K, using its own revenue and net income lines. Fiscal years end in different months, and line definitions differ (banks, insurers and oil companies count revenue differently), so this is a rough side-by-side, not a like-for-like comparison.
