U.S. Bancorp reported record net income of $1,143 million for Q4 2005, an 8.2% increase from Q4 2004. Net income for full year 2005 was $4,489 million, a 7.7% increase over 2004. This growth was driven by increases in noninterest income from fee businesses and valuation of mortgage servicing rights, partially offset by lower net interest margin and higher credit losses. While average earning assets grew 7.1% from a year ago, net interest income declined slightly due to competitive pricing pressure and growth in lower-spread loans. Noninterest expenses declined due to debt restructuring charges in 2004.
