Appendix III
(Preliminary)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

All Information in the preceding tables is presented on a basis prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), unless otherwise indicated.  Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

(A)
 
Effective January 1, 2018, includes reclassification of certain business development expenses from Other expenses to Marketing and business development that are not directly attributable to the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance.  Prior periods have been conformed to the current period presentation.
(B)
 
Represents net income (loss), less (i) earnings allocated to participating share awards of $12 million,  $13 million, $2 million, $11 million and $11 million in Q2'18, Q1'18, Q4'17, Q3'17 and Q2'17, respectively; and (ii) dividends on preferred shares of $20 million, $21 million, $20 million, $21 million and $19 million in Q2'18, Q1'18, Q4'17, Q3'17 and Q2'17, respectively.
(C)
 
Within assets, "other" includes the following items as presented in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets: Other receivables, Other loans (including merchant financing loans), Premises and equipment and Other assets; and within liabilities, "other" includes the following items: Travelers Cheques and other prepaid products, Accounts payable and Other liabilities.
(D)
 
Return on average equity and return on average common equity are calculated by dividing one year period net income/net income attributable to common shareholders by one year average total shareholders’ equity/average common shareholders' equity, respectively.  Refer to Appendix I for components of return on average equity and return on average common equity.
(E)
 
Effective January 1, 2018, we have exited transitional Basel III reporting and our ratios exclude all transitional provisions.  Current ratios represent preliminary estimates as of the date of Second Quarter 2018 Earnings Release and may be revised in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-Q for period ended June 30, 2018.
(F)
 
Supplementary Leverage Ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by total leverage exposure under Basel III.  Leverage exposure, which reflects average total consolidated assets with adjustments for Tier 1 capital deductions, average off-balance sheet derivatives exposures, securities purchased under agreements to resell and credit equivalents of undrawn commitments that are both conditionally and unconditionally cancellable.
(G)
 
Presented for the purpose of calculating the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio.
(H)
 
Billed business represents transaction volumes (including cash advances) on cards and other payment products issued by American Express (proprietary card billed business) and cards issued under network partnership agreements with banks and other institutions, including joint ventures (GNS card billed business).  In-store spending activity within GNS retail cobrand portfolios, from which we earn no revenue, is not included in billed business.  Billed business is reported as United States or outside the United States based on the location of the issuer.
(I)
 
Cards-in-force represents the number of cards that are issued and outstanding by American Express (proprietary cards-in-force) and cards issued and outstanding under network partnership agreements with banks and other institutions, including joint ventures (GNS cards-in-force) except for GNS retail cobrand cards that have no out of store spend activity during the prior 12 months.
Basic cards-in-force excludes supplemental cards issued on consumer accounts.
(J)
 
This calculation is generally designed to reflect the average pricing at all merchants accepting American Express cards and represents the percentage of proprietary and GNS billed business retained by the Company from merchants it acquires, or from merchants acquired by third parties on its behalf, net of amounts retained by such third parties.  Effective January 1, 2018, the Company began including billed business related to certain business-to-business products in the calculation of the average discount rate to reflect our expanding business-to-business product offerings.  Prior periods have been conformed to the current period presentation.
(K)
 
Average fee per card is computed based on proprietary basic net card fees divided by average proprietary basic cards-in-force.
(L)
 
Other includes foreign currency impact on balance sheet re-measurement and translation.
(M)
 
The Company presents a net write-off rate based on principal losses only (i.e., excluding interest and/or fees) to be consistent with industry convention.  In addition, as the Company's practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of its total provision for losses, a net write-off rate including principal, interest and/or fees is also presented.
(N)
 
See Appendix II for calculations of net interest yield on average Card Member loans, a non-GAAP measure, and net interest income divided by average Card Member loans, a GAAP measure, and the Company's rationale for presenting net interest yield on average Card Member loans (refer to Footnotes "W" and "X").
(O)
 
GCP reflects global, large and middle market corporate accounts.  GCP delinquency data for periods other than 90 days past billing is not available due to system constraints.
(P)
 
FX-adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of currency translation into U.S. dollars (i.e., assumes the foreign exchange rates used to determine results for Q2'18 apply to the period(s) against which such results are being compared).  The Company believes the presentation of information on an FX-adjusted basis is helpful to investors by making it easier to compare the Company's performance in one period to that of another period without the variability caused by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
(Q)
 
Captions not designated as “proprietary” or “GNS” include both proprietary and GNS data.
(R)
 
Includes changes in certain corporate allocations that are not directly attributable to our new segment structure.
(S)
 
Effective Q3'17, GSBS loans and associated metrics reflect worldwide small business services loans.  Prior to Q3'17, due to certain system limitations, small business services loans outside the U.S. and associated credit metrics are reflected within GCSG, and were not significant to either GCSG or GCS.
(T)
 
Primarily represents interest expense attributable to maintaining our corporate liquidity pool and funding Card Member receivables.
(U)
 
Primarily represents interest income attributable to Other loans, interest-bearing deposits and the fixed income investment portfolios.
(V)
 
Adjusted net interest income is a non-GAAP measure that represents net interest income attributable to our Card Member loans (which includes, on a GAAP basis, interest that is deemed uncollectible), excluding the impact of interest expense and interest income not attributable to our Card Member loans.  The Company believes adjusted net interest income is useful to investors because it represents the interest expense and interest income attributable to our Card Member loan portfolio and is a component of net interest yield on average Card Member loans, which provides a measure of profitability of our Card Member loan portfolio.
(W)
 
Net interest income divided by average Card Member loans, computed on an annualized basis, a GAAP measure, includes elements of total interest income and total interest expense that are not attributable to the Card Member loan portfolio, and thus is not representative of net interest yield on average Card Member loans.
(X)
 
Net interest yield on average Card Member loans is a non-GAAP measure that is computed by dividing adjusted net interest income by average Card Member loans.  The Company believes that  net interest yield on average Card Member loans is useful to investors because it provides a measure of profitability of the Company's Card Member loan portfolio.
