Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to, the following:
•the Company’s ability to achieve its 2025 earnings per common share (EPS) outlook and grow EPS in the future, which will depend in part on revenue growth, credit performance, credit reserve levels and the effective tax rate remaining consistent with current expectations and the Company’s ability to continue investing at high levels in areas that can drive sustainable growth (including its brand, value propositions, coverage, marketing, technology and talent), controlling operating expenses, effectively managing risk and executing its share repurchase program, any of which could be impacted by, among other things, the factors identified in the subsequent paragraphs as well as the following: macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including the effects of announced or future tariff increases, global trade relations, changes to consumer and business confidence, international tensions, hostilities and instability, a slowdown in U.S. or global economic growth, higher rates of unemployment, changes in interest rates, inflation, supply chain issues, market volatility, energy costs and fiscal and monetary policies; the impact of any future contingencies, including, but not limited to, legal costs and settlements, the imposition of fines or monetary penalties, increases in Card Member remediation, investment gains or losses, restructurings, impairments and changes in reserves; issues impacting brand perceptions and the Company’s reputation; impacts related to acquisitions, cobrand and other partner agreements, portfolio sales and joint ventures; and the impact of regulation and litigation, which may be heightened due to the uncertain political environment and could affect the profitability of the Company’s business activities, limit the Company’s ability to pursue business opportunities, require changes to business practices or alter the Company’s relationships with Card Members, partners and merchants;
•the Company’s ability to achieve its 2025 revenue growth outlook and grow revenues net of interest expense in the future, which could be impacted by, among other things, the factors identified above and in the subsequent paragraphs, as well as the following: spending volumes and the spending environment not being consistent with expectations, including a decline or slowdown in cross-border and travel & entertainment spending volumes, as well as spending by U.S. consumer and small and mid-sized enterprise Card Members, such as due to uncertain business and economic conditions; an inability to address competitive pressures, attract and retain customers, invest in and enhance the Company’s Membership Model of premium products, differentiated services and partnerships, successfully refresh its card products, grow spending and lending with customers across age cohorts, including Millennial and Gen-Z customers, and implement strategies and business initiatives, including within the premium consumer space, commercial payments and the global network; the effects of regulatory initiatives, including pricing and network regulation; merchant coverage growing less than expected or the reduction of merchant acceptance or the perception of coverage; increased surcharging, steering, suppression or other differential acceptance practices with respect to the Company’s products; merchant discount rates changing from the Company’s expectations; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

•net interest income, the effects of changes in interest rates and the growth of loans and Card Member receivables outstanding and revolving balances, being higher or lower than expectations, which could be impacted by, among other things, the behavior and financial strength of Card Members and their actual spending, borrowing and paydown patterns; the effectiveness of the Company’s strategies to enhance Card Member value propositions, capture a greater share of Card Members’ spending and borrowings, and attract new, and retain existing, customers; the Company’s ability to effectively manage underwriting risk; changes in benchmark interest rates, including where such changes affect the Company’s assets or liabilities differently than expected; continued volatility and other changes in capital and credit market conditions and the availability and cost of capital; credit actions, including line size and other adjustments to credit availability; the yield on Card Member loans not remaining consistent with current expectations; the Company’s deposit levels or the interest rates it offers on deposits changing from current expectations; loss or impacts to cobrand relationships; and governmental actions to cap credit card interest rates;
•future credit performance, the level of future delinquency, reserve and write-off rates and the amount and timing of future reserve builds and releases, which will depend in part on macroeconomic factors such as actual and projected unemployment rates, GDP and the volume of bankruptcies; the ability and willingness of Card Members to pay amounts owed to the Company; changes in loans and receivables outstanding, such as from the implementation of the Company’s strategy to capture spending and borrowings, or from changes in consumer behavior that affect loan and receivable balances (e.g., paydown and revolve rates); changes in the levels of customer acquisitions and the credit profiles of new customers acquired; the enrollment in, and effectiveness of, financial relief programs and the performance of accounts as they exit from such programs; the impact of the usage of debt settlement companies; and collections capabilities and recoveries of previously written-off loans and receivables;
•the actual amount to be spent on Card Member rewards and services and business development in 2025 and beyond, and the relationship of these variable customer engagement costs to revenues, which could be impacted by continued changes in macroeconomic conditions and Card Member behavior as it relates to their spending patterns (including the level of spend in bonus categories), the redemption of rewards and offers (including travel redemptions) and usage of travel-related benefits; the costs related to reward point redemptions; further enhancements to the Company’s rewards programs and product benefits, including to make them attractive to Card Members and prospective customers, potentially in a manner that is not cost-effective; changes in the Company’s models or assumptions used to estimate these expenses; new and renegotiated contractual obligations with business partners, which may be affected by business partners with greater scale and leverage; the Company’s ability to identify and negotiate partner-funded value for Card Members; and the pace and cost of the expansion of the Company’s global lounge collection;

•factors beyond the Company’s control such as business, economic and geopolitical conditions, consumer and business confidence and spending generally, unemployment rates, market volatility, political developments, further escalations or widening of international tensions, regional hostilities and military conflicts, adverse developments affecting third parties, including other financial institutions, merchants or vendors, as well as severe weather conditions and natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes and wildfires), power loss, disruptions in telecommunications, pandemics, terrorism and other catastrophic events, any of which could significantly affect demand for and spending on American Express cards, credit metrics and reserves, loan and receivable balances, deposit levels and other aspects of the Company’s business and results of operations or disrupt its global network systems and ability to process transactions.

New York – April 17, 2025 – American Express Company (NYSE: AXP) today reported first-quarter net income of $2.6 billion, or $3.64 per share, compared with net income of $2.4 billion, or $3.33 per share, a year ago.
“We delivered strong results during the first quarter, reflecting the power of our premium customer base. FX-adjusted revenue increased 8 percent year-over-year, or 9 percent excluding the leap year impact,3 to $17.0 billion. Total Card Member spending continued to grow at a solid pace, up 6 percent, or 7 percent excluding the leap year impact,”3 said Stephen J. Squeri, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our performance across key areas, including Card Member spending, customer retention, demand for our premium products, and credit performance, continued to be strong across our customer base, consistent with and in many cases better than what we saw in 2024.

“Based on the steady spend and credit trends we have seen to date and the current economic outlook, we are maintaining our full-year guidance for revenue growth of 8 to 10 percent and EPS of $15.00 to $15.50, in line with the ranges we provided in January, subject to the macroeconomic environment.
“Looking ahead, we will continue to manage the company for the long term, focusing on backing our customers and colleagues, exercising disciplined expense management, and strategically investing in our business.”
First-quarter consolidated total revenues net of interest expense were $17.0 billion, up 7 percent year-over-year, or 8 percent on an FX-adjusted basis. The increase was primarily driven by higher net interest income supported by growth in revolving loan balances, increased Card Member spending, and continued strong card fee growth.
Consolidated provisions for credit losses were $1.2 billion, compared with $1.3 billion a year ago. The decrease reflected a modest net reserve release during the quarter compared to a net reserve build a year ago, partially offset by higher net write-offs driven by growth in Total loans and Card Member receivables. The first-quarter net write-off rate was 2.1 percent, flat year-over-year.4
Consolidated expenses were $12.5 billion, up 10 percent year-over-year. The increase was driven by higher variable customer engagement costs driven by higher Card Member spending, a benefit in the prior year resulting from enhancements to the models for estimating future Membership Rewards redemptions, and higher usage of travel-related benefits. In addition, operating expenses increased, while marketing expenses were roughly flat year-over-year.
The consolidated effective tax rate was 22.4 percent, compared to 22.5 percent a year ago.

This earnings release should be read in conjunction with the company’s statistical tables for the first quarter 2025, which include information regarding our reportable operating segments, available on the American Express Investor Relations website at http://ir.americanexpress.com and in a Form 8-K furnished today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
An investor conference call will be held at 8:30 a.m. (ET) today to discuss first-quarter results. Live audio and presentation slides for the investor conference call will be available to the general public on the above-mentioned American Express Investor Relations website. A replay of the conference call will be available later today at the same website address.
________________________________
1 As used in this release, FX-adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of currency translations into U.S. dollars (i.e., assumes the foreign exchange rates used to determine results for current period apply to the corresponding prior-year period against which such results are being compared). FX-adjusted revenues is a non-GAAP measure. 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.
2
Diluted earnings per common share (EPS) was reduced by the impact of (i) earnings allocated to participating share awards of $18 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and (ii) dividends on preferred shares of $14 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
3
Information is adjusted to exclude the impact of the additional day in the first quarter of 2024 caused by leap year. Revenues adjusted to exclude the impact of leap year is a non-GAAP measure. See Appendix I for a reconciliation to revenues on a GAAP basis. The company believes that the presentation of this information is helpful to investors by making it easier to compare the company’s performance between periods.
4
Net write-off rates are based on principal losses only (i.e., excluding interest and/or fees) and represent consumer and small business Card Member loans and receivables (net write-off rates based on principal losses only are unavailable for corporate). We present a net write-off rate based on principal losses only to be consistent with industry convention. Net write-off rates including interest and fees are presented in the Statistical Tables for the first quarter of 2025 available on the above-mentioned American Express Investor Relations website, as our practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of our total provision for credit losses.





As used in this release:
•Card Member spending (billed business) represents transaction volumes, including cash advances, on payment products issued by American Express.
•Operating expenses represent salaries and employee benefits, professional services, data processing and equipment, and other, net.
•Reserve releases and reserve builds represent the portion of the provisions for credit losses for the period related to increasing or decreasing reserves for credit losses as a result of, among other things, changes in volumes, macroeconomic outlook, portfolio composition, and credit quality of portfolios. Reserve releases represent the amount by which net write-offs exceed the provisions for credit losses. Reserve builds represent the amount by which the provisions for credit losses exceed net write-offs.
•Variable customer engagement costs represent the aggregate of Card Member rewards, business development, and Card Member services expenses.

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) Represents net income, less (i) earnings allocated to participating share awards of $18 million, $17 million, $18 million, $23 million and $18 million in Q1'25, Q4'24, Q3'24, Q2'24 and Q1'24, respectively; and (ii) dividends on preferred shares of $14 million, $14 million, $15 million, $15 million and $14 million in Q1'25, Q4'24, Q3'24, Q2'24 and Q1'24, respectively.
(B) Within assets, "other" includes the following items as presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets: Other loans, less reserves for credit losses, Premises and equipment and Other assets (including Other receivables); and within liabilities, "other" includes the following items: Accounts payable and Other liabilities.
(C) Return on Average Equity (ROE) is calculated by dividing annualized net income for the period by average shareholders' equity for the period. Return on Average Common Equity (ROCE) is calculated by dividing annualized net income attributable to common shareholders for the period by average common shareholders' equity for the period.
(D) Supplementary Leverage Ratio is calculated as Tier 1 capital divided by total leverage exposure. Total leverage exposure includes total average on-balance sheet assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures, less amounts permitted to be deducted from Tier 1 capital. We became a Category III firm in the third quarter of 2024 and thus are subject to a minimum supplementary leverage ratio from the fourth quarter onwards.
(E) Presented for the purpose of calculating the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio.
(F) Network volumes represent total transaction volumes (including cash advances) on payment products issued by American Express and under network partnership agreements with banks and other institutions, including joint ventures, as well as alternative payment solutions facilitated by American Express.
(G) Billed business represents transaction volumes (including cash advances) on payment products issued by American Express.
(H) Cards-in-force represent 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, except for retail cobrand cards issued by network partners that had no out-of-store spending activity during the prior twelve months. Basic cards-in-force excludes supplemental cards issued on consumer accounts. Cards-in-force is useful in understanding the size of our Card Member base.
(I) Average fee per card is computed on an annualized basis based on proprietary net card fees divided by average proprietary total cards-in-force.
(J) Proprietary new cards acquired represents the number of new cards issued by American Express during the referenced period, net of replacement cards. Proprietary new cards acquired is useful as a measure of the effectiveness of our customer acquisition strategy.
(K) FX-adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of conversion into U.S. dollars (e.g., assumes the foreign exchange rates used to determine results for the current period apply to the corresponding prior year period against which such results are being compared).
(L) Our practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of our total provision for credit losses and we therefore present a net write-off rate including principal, interest and/or fees. We also present a net write-off rate based on principal losses only to be consistent with industry convention.
(M) Net write-off rate for principal losses only and 30+ days past due metrics represent consumer and small business, and are not available for corporate due to system constraints.
(N) Other includes foreign currency impact on balance sheet re-measurement and translation.
(O) For purposes of the calculation of net interest yield on Card Member loans and net interest income divided by average Card Member loans, average loans include loans held for sale (HFS) as we continue to recognize interest income on these loans until they are sold. Net interest income divided by average Card Member loans, computed on an annualized basis, 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. Net interest yield on average Card Member loans, a non-GAAP measure, is computed by dividing adjusted net interest income (also a non-GAAP measure) by average Card Member loans, computed on an annualized basis. Adjusted net interest income 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. Reserves and net write-offs related to uncollectible interest are recorded through provisions for credit losses, and thus not included in the net interest yield calculation. We believe that net interest yield on average Card Member loans is useful to investors because it provides a measure of profitability of our Card Member loan portfolio. See Appendix II for calculations of net interest income divided by average Card Member loans and net interest yield on average Card Member loans.
(P) Primarily represents interest expense attributable to maintaining our corporate liquidity pool and funding Card Member receivables.
(Q) Primarily represents interest income attributable to Other loans, interest-bearing deposits and the fixed income investment portfolios.
