NEW YORK, January 22, 2001 -- American Express Company today reported record net
income for 2000 of $2.81 billion, up 14 percent from $2.48 billion a year ago.
Diluted earnings per share rose 14 percent to $2.07 from $1.81. Net revenues on
a managed basis totaled $22.1 billion, up 13 percent from $19.5 billion. The
Company's return on equity was 25.3 percent.
For the fourth quarter of 2000, American Express reported net income of $677
million, up 12 percent from $606 million a year ago. On a diluted per share
basis, net income increased 14 percent to $0.50 from $0.44 a year ago.
The full year and fourth quarter results met the Company's long-term targets of
12-15 percent earnings per share growth, at least 8 percent growth in revenues
and a return on equity of 18-20 percent - on average and over time. Separately,
the Company said that it expects the weak financial markets and economic
slowdown of the last few months to continue into this year, and as a result,
that full year 2001 earnings per share growth is expected to be at the low end
of its target range.
Travel Related Services (TRS) reported record net income for 2000 of $1.93
billion, up 14 percent from $1.69 billion a year ago.
TRS net revenues increased 14 percent, reflecting higher billed business as well
as strong growth in average Cardmember loans. These improvements resulted from
an increase of 5.7 million cards in force, up 12 percent from a year ago, and
higher average spending per Cardmember. The higher spending was driven by
several factors, including rewards programs and expanded merchant coverage. The
net interest yield on Cardmember loans decreased from the prior year, reflecting
a higher percentage of loan balances on lower- and fixed-rate products. Other
revenues increased, primarily reflecting higher fee income.
The provision for losses on the charge card and lending portfolios rose from the
prior year, primarily as a result of higher volume. Charge Card interest expense
grew as a result of higher volumes and an increased cost of funds. Other
operating expenses increased, reflecting in part the cost of Cardmember loyalty
programs, business growth and investment spending.
TRS reported 2000 fourth quarter net income of $470 million, a 16 percent
increase over $406 million reported a year ago.
The above discussion presents TRS results "on a managed basis" as if there had
been no securitization transactions, which conforms to industry practice. The
attached financials present TRS results on both a managed and reported basis.
Net income is the same in both formats.
On a reported basis, TRS results for 2000 included securitization gains of $142
million ($92 million after-tax realized in first, second and third quarters),
compared with similar gains of $154 million ($100 million after-tax) in 1999.
These gains were offset by higher expenses related to card acquisition
activities and therefore had no material impact on net income or total expenses.
American Express Financial Advisors (AEFA) reported record net income for 2000
of $1.03 billion, up 10 percent from $935 million a year ago.
Net revenues and earnings growth benefited from higher fee revenues due to
increases in average managed assets and product sales, which were partially
offset by narrower spreads on the investment portfolio. The narrower spreads
reflected losses on high-yield securities, as well as the impact of higher
interest rates. AEFA reported increases in sales of mutual funds, annuities, and
life and other insurance products. Human resources expenses rose primarily as a
result of an increase in financial advisors' compensation, which reflected
growth in sales and asset levels, the new advisor platforms, and an increase in
the total number of financial advisors. Other operating expenses grew primarily
due to higher business volumes and ongoing investments to build the business.
AEFA reported 2000 fourth quarter net income of $242 million, a 2 percent
increase over $238 million a year ago. The modest growth in earnings and net
revenues for the quarter reflected narrower spreads on the investment portfolio
and the effect of a decline in equity markets during the quarter. The narrower
spreads resulted from losses of $49 million on high-yield securities and the
continued impact of higher interest rates. Management fees for the quarter
included a net year-over-year benefit of $58 million from a fee hedge that
minimized the effect of the equity market decline on management fees.
American Express Bank (AEB) reported 2000 net income of $29 million compared
with $22 million a year ago.
Current year results reflect greater commission and fee revenues in the
Correspondent Banking, Private Banking and Personal Financial Services
businesses, and lower operating expenses, reflecting savings from reengineering
initiatives. These were partially offset by a decline in net interest income,
mainly due to higher funding costs, as well as lower securities gains and joint
venture income.
AEB reported fourth quarter 2000 net income of $6 million compared with $4
million a year ago.
Corporate and Other reported 2000 net expenses of $180 million, compared with
$174 million a year ago. The results for both years include a preferred stock
dividend based on earnings from Lehman Brothers, which was offset by expenses
related to business building initiatives in both years and by Y2K expenses a
year ago.
Corporate and Other reported fourth quarter 2000 net expenses of $41 million,
compared with $42 million a year ago.
American Express Company (http://www.americanexpress.com), founded in 1850, is a
global travel, financial and network services provider.

American Express Web site at http://ir.americanexpress.com. In addition, an
investor conference call to discuss fourth quarter and full year earnings
results, operating performance and other topics that may be raised during the

The statements in this press release relating to the company's expected 2001
financial performance are forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks
and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the
following:
Fluctuation in the equity markets in 2001, which can affect the amount and types
of investment products sold by AEFA, the market value of its managed assets, and
management and distribution fees received based on those assets; potential
deterioration in the high yield sector, which could result in further losses in
AEFA's investment portfolio; developments relating to AEFA's new platform
structure for financial advisors, including the ability to increase advisor
productivity, moderate the growth of new advisors and create efficiencies in the
infrastructure; AEFA's ability to effectively manage the economics in selling a
growing volume of non-proprietary products to clients; investment performance in
AEFA's mutual fund business; the success and financial impact of reengineering
initiatives being implemented at the Company, including cost management,
structural and strategic measures such as vendor and process consolidation,
outsourcing and using lower cost internal distribution channels; the ability to
control and manage operating, infrastructure, advertising and promotion and
other expenses as business expands or changes, including balancing the need for
longer term investment spending; consumer and business spending on the Company's
travel related services products, particularly credit and charge cards and
growth in card lending balances, which depend in part on the ability to issue
new and enhanced card products and increase revenues from such products, attract
new cardholders, capture a greater share of existing cardholders' spending,
sustain premium discount rates, increase merchant coverage, retain Cardmembers
after low introductory lending rates have expired, and expand the global network
services business; successfully expanding the Company's on-line and off-line
distribution channels and cross-selling financial, travel, card and other
products and services to its customer base, both in the U.S. and abroad;
effectively leveraging the Company's assets, such as its brand, customers and
international presence, in the Internet environment; investing in and competing
at the leading edge of technology across all businesses; increasing competition
in all of the Company's major businesses; fluctuations in interest rates, which
impacts the Company's borrowing costs, return on lending products and spreads in
the investment and insurance businesses; credit trends and the rate of
bankruptcies, which can affect spending on card products, debt payments by
individual and corporate customers and returns on the Company's investment
portfolios; foreign currency exchange rates; political or economic instability
in certain regions or countries, which could affect commercial lending
activities, among other businesses; legal and regulatory developments, such as
in the areas of consumer privacy and data protection; acquisitions; and outcomes
in litigation. A further description of these and other risks and uncertainties
can be found in the Company's 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1999 and other reports filed with the SEC.
