(a)The foreign currency adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of currency conversion into U.S. dollars (i.e., 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). FX-adjusted Total revenues net of interest expense and Total loans and Card Member receivables are non-GAAP measures. We believe the presentation of information on a foreign currency adjusted basis is helpful to investors by making it easier to compare our performance in one period to that of another period without the variability caused by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

(b)Represents net income, less (i) earnings allocated to participating share awards of $18 million and $23 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $36 million and $41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and (ii) dividends on preferred shares of $15 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and $29 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

(c)Total loans reflects Card Member loans and Other loans.

(d)Our common stock trades principally on The New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol AXP.

(e)We present 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 our practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of our total provision for credit losses, a net write-off rate including principal, interest and/or fees is also presented.

(f)A net write-off rate based on principal losses only is not available for corporate receivables due to system constraints.

(g)For corporate receivables, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. Refer to Table 12 for 90+ days past billing metrics for corporate receivables.

(h)Return on average equity (ROE) is calculated by dividing (i) annualized net income for the period by (ii) average shareholders' equity for the period.

***Business Performance***

Our strong results for the second quarter reflect the resilience of our premium customer base and the earnings power of our business model. We saw record Card Member spending in the quarter, high customer loyalty and engagement, strong demand for our premium products and excellent credit performance. Net income for the second quarter was $2.9 billion, or $4.08 per share, compared with net income of $3.0 billion, or $4.15 per share, a year ago, which included a $0.66 per share gain from the sale of Accertify Inc. (Accertify).

Billed business grew 7 percent year-over-year, consistent with the prior quarter. G&S spend, which accounts for over 70 percent of our total billed business, grew 8 percent (7 percent on an FX-adjusted basis), at a similar pace to the prior quarter.<sup>1</sup> T&E spend grew 6 percent (5 percent on an FX-adjusted basis), a modest deceleration from the prior quarter on an FX-adjusted basis, primarily reflecting softness in airline and lodging spend, while restaurant spend, our largest T&E spend category, continued to show strong growth.<sup>1</sup> U.S. Consumer Services billed business grew 7 percent, with continued strength in spending by Millennial and Gen-Z Card Members as our products continue to resonate with these cohorts. Commercial Services billed business grew 2 percent, reflecting continued modest growth from U.S. small and mid-sized enterprise (SME) Card Members. International Card Services billed business grew 15 percent (12 percent on an FX-adjusted basis), driven by continued strong growth in spend across all regions and customer types outside the United States.<sup>1</sup>

Total revenues net of interest expense increased 9 percent year-over-year on both a reported and FX-adjusted basis.<sup>1</sup> Growth in billed business drove a 6 percent increase in Discount revenue, our largest revenue line. Net card fees increased 20 percent, reflecting high levels of new card acquisitions and Card Member retention, as well as our cycle of product refreshes. Growth in Net interest income increased 12 percent, primarily reflecting growth in balances and greater usage of lending features such as Pay Over Time.

Total Loans and Card Member receivables increased 7 percent year-over-year, in line with growth in billed business. Provisions for credit losses increased, primarily due to a higher reserve build compared to the prior year. Net write-off and delinquency rates remained stable and best-in-class, supported by our premium global customer base, our strong focus on risk management and disciplined growth strategy. During the quarter we reclassified $1.6 billion of Card Member loans related to the Amazon small business cobrand portfolio from held for investment to held for sale (HFS).

Card Member rewards, Card Member services and Business development expenses, which are generally driven by volumes and usage, collectively grew slightly faster than revenues as a result of the mix shift towards premium products and enhancements to our value propositions to drive Card Member engagement and acquire more Card Members. Marketing expense increased 5 percent year-over-year as we continued to invest to acquire high spending, high credit-quality customers. During the second quarter we acquired 3.1 million proprietary new cards. Operating expenses grew in line with revenue growth, after adjusting for the prior-year gain on the sale of Accertify, reflecting higher investments in enterprise risk management capabilities and technology to support business growth. We remain focused on driving marketing and operating expense efficiencies over time.

During the second quarter, we maintained our CET1 capital ratio within our target range of 10 to 11 percent and returned $2.0 billion of capital to our shareholders in the form of share repurchases and common stock dividends. We plan to continue to return to shareholders the excess capital we generate while managing our CET1 capital ratio within our target range and supporting balance sheet growth. Our robust capital, funding and liquidity positions provide us with significant flexibility to maintain a strong balance sheet.

Also during the quarter, we announced major updates coming to our U.S. Consumer and Business Platinum Cards later this year. Our Membership-focused model and proven product refresh strategy give us confidence as we navigate the evolving competitive landscape. While we recognize the uncertainty of the geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, we believe our differentiated business model, which includes our global premium customer base, spend- and fee-centric revenue mix and operating expense leverage, is resilient and positions us well to navigate a range of economic environments. We 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.

See "Certain Legislative, Regulatory and Other Developments" for information on legislative and regulatory changes that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for information on potential impacts of macroeconomic, geopolitical and competitive conditions and certain litigation and regulatory matters on our business.

<sup>1</sup> The foreign currency adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of currency conversion into U.S. dollars (i.e., 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). FX-adjusted revenues is a non-GAAP measure. We believe the presentation of information on a foreign currency adjusted basis is helpful to investors by making it easier to compare our performance in one period to that of another period without the variability caused by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

**Results of Operations**

The discussions in both "Consolidated Results of Operations" and "Business Segment Results of Operations" provide commentary on the variances for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in the prior year, as presented in the accompanying tables. Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 reflect the sale of Accertify, which closed on May 1, 2024, and resulted in a gain of $531 million ($479 million after tax; $0.66 per share), which was reported as a reduction to Other expense in the second quarter of 2024.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, we made a presentation change to our Consolidated Statements of Income to consolidate Processed revenue within Service fees and other revenue and renamed Processed revenue to Network partnership revenue. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the current period presentation; there was no impact to Total non-interest revenues. Refer to Note 12 to the "Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

***Total Revenues Net of Interest Expense***

Discount revenue increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by increases in billed business of 7 percent and 6 percent, respectively. See Tables 5 and 6 for more details on billed business performance.

Net card fees increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by growth in our premium card portfolios. See Table 5 for more details on proprietary new card acquisitions, proprietary cards-in-force and average fee per card.

Service fees and other revenue increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by increases in foreign exchange-related revenues associated with Card Member cross-currency spending, network partnership revenues and loyalty coalition-related fees, partially offset by Accertify revenues included in the prior year. The increase in the three month period was also driven by higher income from equity method investments primarily related to the partial sale of a card portfolio by one of our joint ventures. The increase in the six month period was also driven by a discrete revenue adjustment in the current period related to certain cash advance fees from prior years.

Interest income increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by growth in revolving loan balances, partially offset by lower interest rates.

Interest expense was relatively flat for both the three and six month periods, primarily reflecting growth in customer deposits and long-term debt, offset by lower interest rates paid on customer deposits.

(a)Refer to the "Glossary of Selected Terminology" for a definition of reserve build (release).

***Provisions for Credit Losses***

Card Member loans provision for credit losses increased for the three month period, primarily due to a higher reserve build in the current period and higher net write-offs. Card Member loans provision for credit losses increased for the six month period, primarily due to higher net write-offs, partially offset by a lower reserve build in the current period. The reserve builds in the current periods were primarily driven by increases in loans outstanding and deterioration in the macroeconomic outlook used in our reserve models, partially offset by the release of a reserve upon the previously-mentioned reclassification of a small business cobrand portfolio to Card Member loans HFS. The reserve builds in the prior periods were primarily driven by increases in loans outstanding, partially offset, for the three month period, by lower delinquencies.

Card Member receivables provision for credit losses remained flat for the three month period, due to a higher reserve build in the current period offset by lower net write-offs. Card Member receivables provision for credit losses decreased for the six month period, primarily due to lower net write-offs, partially offset by a reserve build in the current period. The reserve builds in the current periods were primarily driven by increases in receivables outstanding and deterioration in the macroeconomic outlook. The reserve build in the prior three month period was primarily driven by an increase in receivables outstanding for U.S. consumer and U.S. small business customers.

Other provision for credit losses increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to higher net write-offs and higher net reserve builds in the current periods. The net reserve builds in the current periods were primarily driven by increases in other loans outstanding. The reserve builds in the prior periods were primarily driven by a reserve related to amounts due from a merchant in bankruptcy, as well as increases in other loans outstanding.

***Expenses***

Card Member rewards expense increased for both the three and six month periods, driven by increases in Membership Rewards and cash back rewards expenses, collectively, of $248 million and $735 million, and cobrand rewards expense of $143 million and $260 million for the three and six month periods, respectively, all of which were primarily driven by higher billed business and increases in redemption costs reflecting a shift in the mix of Card Member redemptions. The increase in Membership Rewards expense in the six month period was also driven by a benefit in the prior year from enhancements to the models that estimate future redemptions of Membership Reward points by U.S. Card Members, as well as an increase in the Ultimate Redemption Rate (URR) in the current period.

The Membership Rewards URR for current program participants was 96 percent (rounded down) at both June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Business development expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to increased partner payments driven by higher network volumes and higher client incentives.

Card Member services expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to growth in premium card accounts, contributing to a higher usage of travel-related benefits.

Marketing expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to higher levels of spending on customer acquisition and other growth initiatives.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by higher compensation costs.

Other expenses increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by the gain recognized in the prior year on the sale of Accertify and higher professional services expenses in the current year.

***Income Taxes***

The effective tax rate was 18.7 percent and 20.4 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 20.5 percent and 21.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The lower effective tax rates for the three and six month periods primarily reflected discrete tax benefits in the current periods relating to the resolution of certain prior-year tax items.

(a)We present 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 our practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of our total provision for credit losses, a net write-off rate including principal, interest and/or fees is also presented.

(b)A net write-off rate based on principal losses only is not available for corporate receivables due to system constraints.

(c)For corporate receivables, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. Refer to Table 12 for 90+ days past billing metrics for corporate receivables.

(d)Other includes foreign currency translation adjustments.

(a)Primarily represents interest expense attributable to maintaining our corporate liquidity pool and funding Card Member receivables.

(b)Primarily represents interest income attributable to Other loans, interest-bearing deposits and the fixed income investment portfolios.

(c)Adjusted net interest income and net interest yield on average Card Member loans are non-GAAP measures. Refer to "Glossary of Selected Terminology" for the definitions of these terms. We believe 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. Net interest yield on average Card Member loans reflects adjusted net interest income divided by average Card Member loans, computed on an annualized basis. 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.

(d)For purposes of the calculation of net interest yield on Card Member loans, average loans includes loans HFS as we continue to recognize interest income on these loans until they are sold.

U.S. Consumer Services (USCS) issues a wide range of proprietary consumer cards and provides services to U.S. consumers, including travel and lifestyle services as well as banking and non-card financing products. USCS also manages our dining platform that provides digital tools for restaurants and reservation bookings for diners.

***Total Revenues Net of Interest Expense***

Non-interest revenues increased across all revenue categories for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by higher Net card fees and Discount revenue.

Discount revenue increased 7 percent and 6 percent for the three and six month periods, respectively, primarily driven by increases in U.S. consumer billed business. See Tables 5, 6 and 10 for more details on billed business performance.

Net card fees increased 21 percent for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by growth in our premium card portfolios.

Service fees and other revenue increased 8 percent and 10 percent for the three and six month periods, respectively. The increase in the three month period was primarily driven by higher dining platform revenues and cash advance fees. The increase in the six month period was primarily driven by a discrete revenue adjustment in the current period related to certain cash advance fees from prior years and higher dining platform revenues, partially offset by lower revenue from the sale of reward points.

Interest income increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by growth in revolving loan balances, partially offset by lower interest rates.

Interest expense was relatively flat for both the three and six month periods, reflecting a higher cost of funds due to segment net asset growth, offset by lower interest rates.

***Provisions for Credit Losses***

Card Member loans provision for credit losses increased for the three month period, primarily due to a higher reserve build in the current period, partially offset by lower net write-offs. Card Member loans provision for credit losses increased for the six month period, primarily due to higher net write-offs, partially offset by a lower reserve build in the current period. The reserve builds in the current periods were primarily driven by deterioration in the macroeconomic outlook, partially offset by lower delinquencies. An increase in loans outstanding also drove the reserve build in the current three month period. The reserve builds in the prior periods were primarily driven by increases in loans outstanding, partially offset by lower delinquencies.

Card Member receivables provision for credit losses decreased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to lower net write-offs, partially offset by higher reserve builds in the current periods. The reserve build in the current three month period was primarily driven by an increase in receivables outstanding. The reserve build in the current six month period was primarily driven by higher delinquencies. The reserve build in the prior three month period was primarily driven by an increase in receivables outstanding.

Other provision for credit losses increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to higher reserve builds in the current periods and higher net write-offs. The reserve builds in the current periods were primarily driven by increases in other loans outstanding.

***Expenses***

Total expenses increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by higher Card Member rewards, Salaries and employee benefits and other, and Card Member services expenses.

Card Member rewards expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by higher billed business and increases in redemption costs reflecting a shift in the mix of Card Member redemptions. For the six month period, the increase in Membership Rewards expense was also driven by the above-mentioned benefit from enhancements to the U.S. URR models made in the prior year, as well as an increase in the URR in the current period.

Business development expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to increased partner payments driven by higher billed business.

Card Member services expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to growth in premium card accounts, contributing to a higher usage of travel-related benefits.

Marketing expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to higher levels of spending on customer acquisitions and other growth initiatives.

Salaries and employee benefits and other expenses increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to increases in allocated service costs and higher compensation costs.

***Provisions for Credit Losses***

Card Member loans provision for credit losses increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to higher net write-offs, partially offset by lower reserve builds in the current periods.

(f)For corporate receivables, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. A Card Member account is considered 90 days past billing if payment has not been received within 90 days of the Card Member's billing statement date. In addition, if we initiate collection procedures on an account prior to the account becoming 90 days past billing, the associated Card Member receivable balance is classified as 90 days past billing. Corporate receivables delinquency data for periods other than 90+ days past billing and the net write-off rate based on principal losses only are not available due to system constraints.

International Card Services (ICS) issues a wide range of proprietary consumer, small business and corporate cards outside the United States. ICS also provides services to our international customers, including travel and lifestyle services, and manages certain international joint ventures and our loyalty coalition business.

***Total Revenues Net of Interest Expense***

Non-interest revenues increased across all revenue categories for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by higher Discount revenue and Net card fees.

Discount revenue increased 13 percent and 10 percent for the three and six month periods, respectively (10 percent and 11 percent, respectively, on an FX-adjusted basis), primarily reflecting increases in billed business.<sup>2</sup> See Tables 5, 6 and 14 for more details on billed business performance.

Net card fees increased 23 percent and 19 percent for the three and six month periods, respectively (19 percent and 20 percent, respectively, on an FX-adjusted basis), primarily driven by growth in our premium card portfolios.<sup>2</sup>

Service fees and other revenue increased 16 percent and 10 percent for the three and six month periods, respectively (12 percent and 11 percent, respectively, on an FX-adjusted basis), primarily driven by increases in foreign exchange related revenues associated with Card Member cross-currency spending, higher loyalty coalition-related fees and higher income from equity method investments primarily related to the partial sale of a card portfolio by one of our joint ventures.<sup>2</sup>

Interest income increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by growth in revolving loan balances, partially offset by lower interest rates.

Interest expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by segment net asset growth, partially offset by a lower cost of funds due to lower interest rates.

***Provisions for Credit Losses***

Card Member loans provision for credit losses decreased for the three month period, primarily driven by a reserve release in the current period, versus a reserve build in the prior period, partially offset by higher net write-offs. Card Member loans provision for credit losses increased for the six month period, primarily driven by higher net write-offs, partially offset by a lower reserve build in the current period. The reserve release in the current three month period was primarily driven by lower delinquencies. The reserve build in the current six month period was primarily driven by an increase in loans outstanding. The reserve builds in the prior periods were primarily driven by increases in loans outstanding, partially offset by lower delinquencies.

Card Member receivables provision for credit losses increased for the three month period, primarily driven by a reserve build in the current period, versus a reserve release in the prior period, and higher net write-offs. Card Member receivables provision for credit losses increased for the six month period, primarily driven by a reserve build in the current period, versus a reserve release in the prior period, partially offset by lower net write-offs. The reserve build in the current three month period was primarily driven by an increase in receivables outstanding. The reserve build in the current six month period was primarily driven by higher delinquencies and an increase in receivables outstanding. The reserve releases in the prior periods were primarily driven by lower delinquencies.

***Expenses***

Total expenses increased for both the three and six month periods across all expense categories, primarily driven by higher Card Member rewards and Salaries and employee benefits and other expenses.

Card Member rewards expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by higher billed business.

Business development expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to increased partner payments driven by higher billed business.

Card Member services expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to growth in premium card accounts, contributing to a higher usage of travel-related benefits.

Marketing expense increased for the three month period and decreased for the six month period, primarily due to management decisions regarding the timing of spend on customer acquisitions and engagement campaigns for the full year.

Salaries and employee benefits and other expenses increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to increases in allocated service costs and compensation expenses.

(e)For corporate receivables, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. A Card Member account is considered 90 days past billing if payment has not been received within 90 days of the Card Member's billing statement date. In addition, if we initiate collection procedures on an account prior to the account becoming 90 days past billing, the associated Card Member receivable balance is classified as 90 days past billing. Corporate receivables delinquency data for periods other than 90+ days past billing and the net write-off rate based on principal losses only are not available due to system constraints.

Global Merchant and Network Services (GMNS) operates a global payments network that processes and settles card transactions, acquires merchants and provides multi-channel marketing programs and capabilities, services and data analytics, leveraging our global integrated network. GMNS manages our partnership relationships with third-party card issuers, merchant acquirers and a prepaid reloadable and gift card program manager, licensing the American Express brand and extending the reach of the global network.

***Total Revenues Net of Interest Expense***

Non-interest revenues increased for both the three and six month periods, due to higher Discount revenue and Service fees and other revenue.

Discount revenue increased 4 percent and 3 percent for the three and six month periods, respectively, primarily driven by increases in billed business, partially offset by lower average merchant discount rates due to changes in global spend mix. See Tables 5 and 6 for more details on billed business performance.

Service fees and other revenue increased 5 percent and 2 percent for the three and six month periods, respectively, primarily driven by increases in network partnership revenues and foreign exchange related revenues associated with Card Member cross-currency spending, partially offset by Accertify revenues included in the prior year.

GMNS receives an interest expense credit relating to internal transfer pricing due to its merchant payables. Net interest income decreased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to lower interest expense credits, largely driven by decreases in interest rates in international markets, and for the six month period, lower average merchant payables.

***Expenses***

Total expenses increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by higher Salaries and employee benefits and other expenses.

Business development expense increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily due to increased partner payments driven by higher volumes.

Marketing expense was flat for the three month period and increased for the six month period, primarily due to management decisions regarding the timing of spend on merchant engagement and other growth initiatives.

Salaries and employee benefits and other expenses increased for both the three and six month periods, primarily driven by the gain in the prior year recognized on the sale of Accertify included in the Other, net component of operating expenses.

**Corporate & Other**

Corporate functions and certain other businesses are included in Corporate & Other.

Corporate & Other pretax loss was $550 million and $502 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in the pretax loss for the three month period was primarily driven by an increase in the value of deferred compensation liabilities and a decrease in foreign exchange gains, partially offset by net gains on Amex Ventures investments. The increase in the pretax loss for the six month period was primarily driven by a decrease in foreign exchange gains and lower net gains on Amex Ventures investments, partially offset by a decrease in the value of deferred compensation liabilities.

**CONSOLIDATED CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY**

Our balance sheet management objectives are to maintain:

• A solid and flexible equity capital profile;

• A broad, deep and diverse set of funding sources to finance our assets and meet operating requirements; and

• Liquidity programs that enable us to continuously meet expected future financing obligations and business requirements for at least a twelve month period under a variety of adverse circumstances.

We continue to see volatility in the capital markets due to a variety of factors and manage our balance sheet to reflect evolving circumstances.

***Capital***

We believe capital allocated to growing businesses with a return on risk-adjusted equity in excess of our costs will generate shareholder value. Our objective is to retain sufficient levels of capital generated through net income and other sources, such as the issuance of subordinated debt and preferred shares, as well as the exercise of stock options by colleagues, to maintain a strong balance sheet, provide flexibility to support future business growth, and distribute excess capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. See "Dividends and Share Repurchases" below.

We seek to maintain capital levels and ratios in excess of our minimum regulatory requirements, specifically within a 10 to 11 percent target range for American Express Company's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) risk-based capital ratio.

We maintain certain flexibility to shift capital across our businesses as appropriate. For example, we may infuse additional capital into subsidiaries to maintain capital at targeted levels in consideration of debt ratings and regulatory requirements. These infused amounts can affect the capital and liquidity positions at American Express Company or at our subsidiaries.

We report our capital ratios using the Basel III capital definitions and the Basel III standardized approach for calculating risk-weighted assets.

The following table presents American Express Company's regulatory risk-based capital and risk-weighted assets as of June 30, 2025:

**Table 17: Regulatory Risk-Based Capital Components and Risk-Weighted Assets**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **American Express Company**<br>***($ in Billions)*** | June 30, 2025 |
| **Risk-Based Capital** |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Common Equity Tier 1 | $**26.1** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tier 1 Capital | **27.8** |

| **Average Total Assets to calculate the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio** | **285.2** |
| **Total Leverage Exposure to calculate the Supplementary Leverage Ratio** | $**335.7** |

---

The following are definitions for our regulatory risk-based capital and leverage ratios, which are calculated as per standard regulatory guidance:

*Risk-Weighted Assets* — Assets are weighted for risk according to a formula used by the Federal Reserve to conform to capital adequacy guidelines. On- and off-balance sheet items are risk weighted, with off-balance sheet items converted to balance sheet equivalents, using risk conversion factors, before being assigned a risk weight. Off-balance sheet exposures comprise a minimal part of the total risk-weighted assets.

*Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio* — Calculated as CET1 capital, divided by risk-weighted assets. CET1 capital is common shareholders' equity, adjusted for ineligible goodwill and intangible assets and certain deferred tax assets.

*Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio* — Calculated as Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital is the sum of CET1 capital, preferred shares and third-party non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries, adjusted for capital held by insurance subsidiaries. We have $1.6 billion of preferred shares outstanding to help address a portion of the Tier 1 capital requirements in excess of common equity requirements.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i180a64b88aa64643a52bd5c8707d5c12_7)</u>

*Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio* — Calculated as the sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital, divided by risk-weighted assets. Tier 2 capital is the sum of the allowable allowance for credit losses and $1,750 million of eligible subordinated notes, adjusted for capital held by insurance subsidiaries. The $1,750 million of eligible subordinated notes includes the $500 million subordinated debt issued in April 2024, the $500 million subordinated debt issued in July 2023 and the $750 million subordinated debt issued in May 2022.

*Tier 1 Leverage Ratio* — Calculated as Tier 1 capital divided by average total consolidated assets for the most recent quarter. Average total consolidated assets are net of amounts that are deducted from Tier 1 capital.

*Supplementary Leverage Ratio* — 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, net of amounts that are deducted from Tier 1 capital.

We continue to include accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in regulatory capital.

We are subject to an annual supervisory stress test conducted by the Federal Reserve. We submitted our annual capital plan to the Federal Reserve in April 2025. On June 27, 2025, the Federal Reserve communicated our preliminary SCB requirement at 2.5 percent, effective from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, subject to final confirmation by the Federal Reserve. This is the minimum SCB requirement under the applicable regulations and is consistent with our previously disclosed SCB in effect through September 30, 2025.

***Dividends and Share Repurchases***

We return capital to common shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The share repurchases reduce common shares outstanding and generally more than offset the issuance of new shares as part of employee compensation plans.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we returned $1,972 million and $3,226 million, respectively, to our shareholders in the form of share repurchases of $1,396 million and $2,074 million, respectively, and common stock dividends of $576 million and $1,152 million, respectively. We repurchased 4.7 million common shares at an average price of $291.68 in the second quarter of 2025.

In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we paid $15 million and $29 million, respectively, in dividends on non-cumulative perpetual preferred shares outstanding.

***Funding Strategy***

Our principal funding objective is to maintain broad and well-diversified funding sources to allow us to finance our global businesses and to maintain a strong liquidity profile. Our funding strategy and activities are integrated into our asset-liability management activities. We have in place a funding policy covering American Express Company and all of our subsidiaries.

We aim to satisfy our financing needs with a diverse set of funding sources. The diversity of funding sources by type of instrument, by tenor and by investor base, among other factors, mitigates the impact of disruptions in any one type of instrument, tenor or investor. We seek to achieve diversity and cost efficiency in our funding sources by maintaining scale and market relevance in deposits, unsecured debt and asset securitizations and access to secured borrowing facilities and a committed bank credit facility. In particular, we are focused on continuing to grow our direct deposit program as a funding source.

| Long-term debt | **58.2** | 49.7 |
| Total customer deposits and debt | $**209.1** | $190.5 |

---

We may redeem from time to time certain debt securities prior to the original contractual maturity dates in accordance with the optional redemption provisions of those debt securities.

Our funding needs are driven by, among other factors, maturing obligations, our liquidity position and the pace of growth in our loans and receivables balances. Our current funding plan for the full year 2025 includes, among other sources, approximately $12.0 billion to $16.0 billion of unsecured term debt issuance and approximately $6.0 billion to $10.0 billion of secured term debt issuance. Actual funding activities can vary due to various factors, such as future business growth, liquidity needs, the impact of global economic, political and other events on market capacity, demand for securities offered by us, regulatory changes, ability to securitize and sell loans and receivables, and the performance of loans and receivables previously sold in securitization transactions. Many of these factors are beyond our control.

We issued $13.0 billion of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2025, consisting of $9.1 billion of unsecured debt and $3.9 billion of asset-backed securities. The following table presents our debt issuances for the three months ended June 30, 2025:

Our equity capital and funding strategies are designed, among other things, to maintain appropriate and stable unsecured debt ratings from the major credit rating agencies: Moody's Investor Services (Moody's), Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Fitch Ratings (Fitch). Such ratings help support our access to cost-effective unsecured funding as part of our overall funding strategy. Our asset securitization activities are rated separately.

These ratings are not a recommendation to buy or hold any of our securities and they may be revised or revoked at any time at the sole discretion of the rating organization.

Downgrades in the ratings of our unsecured debt or asset securitization program securities could result in higher funding costs, as well as higher fees related to borrowings under our unused credit facilities. Declines in credit ratings could also reduce our borrowing capacity in the unsecured debt and asset securitization capital markets. We believe our funding mix, including the proportion of U.S. direct deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to total funding, should reduce the impact that credit rating downgrades would have on our funding capacity and costs.

***Deposit Programs***

We offer deposits within our U.S. bank subsidiary, AENB. These funds are currently insured up to an amount that is at least $250,000 per depositor, per ownership category through the FDIC; as of June 30, 2025, approximately 92 percent of these deposits were insured. Our ability to obtain deposit funding and offer competitive interest rates is dependent on, among other factors, the capital level of AENB. The direct deposit program offered by AENB is our primary deposit product channel, which makes FDIC-insured high-yield savings account, certificates of deposit (CDs), business checking and consumer rewards checking account products available directly to customers. As of June 30, 2025, our direct deposit program had approximately 3.6 million accounts. AENB also sources deposits through third-party distribution channels as needed to meet our overall funding objectives. CDs carry stated maturities while high-yield savings account, checking account and third-party sweep deposit products do not. We manage the duration of our maturing obligations, including CDs, to reduce concentration and refinancing risk.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $149.4 billion and $139.4 billion, respectively, in deposits. Refer to Note 6 to the "Consolidated Financial Statements" for a further description of these deposits and scheduled maturities of certificates of deposits.

The following tables set forth the average interest rates we paid on different types of deposits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The change in the average interest rate we paid on our interest-bearing deposits compared to the prior year was primarily due to the impact of lower market interest rates offered for savings deposits.

***Liquidity Management***

Our liquidity objective is to maintain access to a diverse set of on- and off-balance sheet liquidity sources. We seek to maintain liquidity sources in amounts sufficient to meet our expected future financial obligations and business requirements for liquidity for a period of at least twelve months under a variety of adverse circumstances. These include, but are not limited to, an event where we are unable to raise new funds under our regular funding programs during a substantial weakening in economic conditions.

Our liquidity management strategy includes a number of elements, including, but not limited to:

• Maintaining diversified funding sources (refer to "Funding Strategy" above for more details);

• Maintaining unencumbered liquid assets and off-balance sheet liquidity sources;

• Projecting cash inflows and outflows under a variety of economic and market scenarios; and

• Establishing clear objectives for liquidity risk management, including compliance with regulatory requirements.

We seek to maintain access to a diverse set of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet liquidity sources, including cash and other liquid assets, secured borrowing facilities and a committed bank credit facility. Through our U.S. bank subsidiary, AENB, we have also pledged collateral eligible for use at the Federal Reserve's discount window.

The amount and type of liquidity resources we maintain can vary over time, based upon the results of stress scenarios required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as additional stress scenarios required under our liquidity risk policy. Additionally, we are subject to the regulatory requirements under the liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio rules, subject to applicable transition periods. See the "Supervision and Regulation — Capital and Liquidity Regulation" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the 2024 Form 10-K) for more information. We believe that we currently maintain sufficient liquidity to meet all internal and regulatory liquidity requirements.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $57.9 billion and $40.6 billion in Cash and cash equivalents, respectively. Refer to the "Cash Flows" section below for a discussion of the major drivers impacting cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Depending on the interest rate environment, our funding composition and the amount of liquidity resources we maintain, the level of future net interest income or expense associated with our liquidity resources will vary. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, interest income exceeded the interest expense associated with the liquidity portfolio.

*Securitized Borrowing Capacity*

As of June 30, 2025, we maintained our committed, revolving, secured borrowing facility, with a maturity date of July 15, 2026, which gives us the right to sell up to $3.0 billion face amount of eligible AAA notes from the American Express Issuance Trust II (the Charge Trust). On July 16, 2025, we extended the Charge Trust facility by two years to mature on July 17, 2028. We also maintained our committed, revolving, secured borrowing facility, with a maturity date of September 15, 2026, which gives us the right to sell up to $3.0 billion face amount of eligible AAA certificates from American Express Credit Account Master Trust (the Lending Trust). These facilities enhance our contingent funding resources and are also used in the ordinary course of business to fund working capital needs. As of June 30, 2025, $2.5 billion was drawn on the Charge Trust facility, which was subsequently repaid in full. No amount was drawn on the Lending Trust facility as of June 30, 2025.

*Committed Bank Credit Facility*

As of June 30, 2025, we maintained a committed syndicated bank credit facility of $4.0 billion with a maturity date of October 30, 2026. This facility enhances our contingent funding resources and is also used in the ordinary course of business to fund working capital needs. As of June 30, 2025, no amount was drawn on this facility.

*Other Sources of Liquidity*

In addition to cash and other liquid assets and the secured borrowing facilities and committed bank credit facility described above, as an insured depository institution, AENB may borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco through the discount window against the U.S. credit card loans and charge card receivables that it pledged.

As of June 30, 2025, AENB had available borrowing capacity of $78.0 billion based on the amount and collateral valuation of receivables that were pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Whether specific assets will be considered qualifying collateral and the amount that may be borrowed against the collateral remain at the discretion of the Federal Reserve and can change from time to time. Due to regulatory restrictions, liquidity generated by AENB can generally be used only to fund obligations within AENB, and transfers to the parent company or non-bank affiliates may be subject to prior regulatory approval.

***Unused Credit Outstanding***

As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $496 billion of unused credit available to customers. Total unused credit does not represent potential future cash requirements, as a significant portion of this unused credit will likely not be drawn. Charge card products with no pre-set spending limits are not reflected in unused credit.

***Cash Flows***

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity, followed by a discussion of the major drivers impacting operating, investing and financing cash flows for the six months ended June 30:

**Table 22: Cash Flows**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *(Billions)* | **2025** | 2024 |
| Total cash provided by (used in): |  |  |
| Operating activities | $**9.1** | $10.1 |
| Investing activities | **(6.3)** | (8.6) |
| Financing activities | **14.3** | 4.8 |
| Effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents | **0.2** |  |
| Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | $**17.3** | $6.3 |

---

*Cash Flows from Operating Activities*

Our cash flows from operating activities primarily include net income adjusted for (i) non-cash items included in net income, such as provisions for credit losses, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred taxes and other non-cash items and (ii) changes in the balances of operating assets and liabilities, which can vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of payments.

In both periods, the net cash provided by operating activities was driven by cash generated from net income for the period and higher net operating liabilities, primarily driven by higher book overdrafts due to timing differences arising in the ordinary course of business.

*Cash Flows from Investing Activities*

Our cash flows from investing activities primarily include changes in loans and Card Member receivables, as well as changes in our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio.

In 2025, the net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by higher loans outstanding and the acquisition of a business.

In 2024, the net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by higher loans outstanding, partially offset by net maturities of investment securities and net proceeds received from the sale of Accertify.

*Cash Flows from Financing Activities*

Our cash flows from financing activities primarily include changes in customer deposits, long-term debt and short-term borrowings, as well as dividend payments and share repurchases.

In both periods, the net cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by growth in customer deposits and net proceeds from long-term debt, partially offset by share repurchases and dividend payments.

**OTHER MATTERS**

***Certain Legislative, Regulatory and Other Developments***

*Supervision & Regulation*

We are subject to evolving and extensive government regulation and supervision in jurisdictions around the world, and the costs of ongoing compliance are substantial. The financial services industry is subject to rigorous scrutiny, high regulatory expectations, a range of regulations and a stringent and unpredictable enforcement environment.

Governmental authorities have focused, and we believe will continue to focus, considerable attention on reviewing compliance by financial services firms and payment systems with laws and regulations, and as a result, we continually work to evolve and improve our risk management framework, governance structures, practices and procedures. Reviews by us and governmental authorities to assess compliance with laws and regulations, as well as our own internal reviews to assess compliance with internal policies, including errors or misconduct by colleagues or third parties or control failures, have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, changes to our products, practices and procedures, restitution to our customers and increased costs related to regulatory oversight, supervision and examination. We have also been subject to regulatory actions and may continue to be the subject of such actions, including governmental inquiries, investigations, enforcement proceedings and the imposition of fines or civil money penalties, in the event of noncompliance or alleged noncompliance with laws or regulations. For example, as previously disclosed, we have identified certain issues related to our rewards and benefits programs and have taken actions to remediate the issues and enhance our related procedures and controls.

Please see the "Supervision and Regulation" and "Risk Factors" sections of the 2024 Form 10-K for further information.

*Enhanced Prudential Standards*

We are subject to the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies' rules that tailor the application of enhanced prudential standards to bank holding companies and depository institutions with $100 billion or more in total consolidated assets. Under these rules, American Express Company became a Category III firm in the third quarter of 2024. Category III firms are subject to heightened capital, liquidity and prudential requirements, single-counterparty credit limits and additional stress tests, which in some cases are subject to a transition period. Please see the "Supervision and Regulation" and "Risk Factors" sections of the 2024 Form 10-K for further information.

*Consumer Financial Products Regulation*

Our consumer-oriented activities are subject to regulation and supervision in the United States and internationally. In the United States, our marketing, sale and servicing of consumer financial products and our compliance with certain federal consumer financial laws are supervised and examined by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which has broad rulemaking and enforcement authority over providers of credit, savings and payment services and products and authority to prevent "unfair, deceptive or abusive" acts or practices. In addition, a number of U.S. states and international jurisdictions have significant consumer protection, suitability and other laws (in certain cases more stringent than U.S. federal laws). U.S. federal law also regulates abusive debt collection practices, which, along with bankruptcy and debtor relief laws, can affect our ability to collect amounts owed to us or subject us to regulatory scrutiny.

For more information on consumer financial products regulation, as well as the potential impacts on our results of operations and business, please see the "Supervision and Regulation" and "Risk Factors" sections of the 2024 Form 10-K.

*Payments Regulation*

Legislators and regulators in various countries in which we operate have focused on the operation of card networks, including through enforcement actions, legislation and regulations to change certain practices or pricing of card issuers, merchant acquirers and payment networks, and, in some cases, to establish broad regulatory regimes for payment systems.

Pricing for card acceptance, including interchange fees (that is, the fee paid by the bankcard merchant acquirer to the card issuer in payment networks like Visa and Mastercard), has been a focus of legislators and regulators in Australia, Canada, the European Union (EU), the United States and other jurisdictions. Recently, certain states in the United States have passed or are considering laws prohibiting interchange from being charged on all or certain components of transactions, such as sales tax and gratuities. Jurisdictions have also sought to regulate various other aspects of network operations and contract terms and practices governing merchant card acceptance, including information associated with electronic transactions, such as state legislation regarding the use of specific merchant categories codes or limiting the use of transaction data.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i180a64b88aa64643a52bd5c8707d5c12_7)</u>

Regulation and other governmental actions relating to operations, pricing or practices could affect all networks and/or acquirers directly or indirectly, as well as adversely impact consumers and merchants. Among other things, regulation of bankcard fees has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the discount revenue we earn, including as a result of downward pressure on our merchant discount rates from decreases in competitor pricing in connection with caps on interchange fees. In some cases, regulations also extend to certain aspects of our business, such as network and cobrand arrangements or the terms of card acceptance for merchants. For example, we exited our network business in the EU and Australia as a result of regulation in those jurisdictions. In addition, there is uncertainty as to when or how interchange fee caps and other provisions of the EU payments legislation might apply when we work with cobrand partners and agents in the EU. In 2018, the EU Court of Justice (CJEU) confirmed the validity of fee capping and other provisions in circumstances where three-party networks issue cards with a cobrand partner or through an agent, although its ruling provided only limited guidance as to when or how the provisions might apply in such circumstances and remains subject to differing interpretations by regulators and participants in cobrand arrangements. In December 2024, the CJEU held a hearing on questions referred by the Dutch Trade and Industry Appeals Tribunal regarding the interpretation of the application of the interchange fee caps in connection with an administrative proceeding by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets regarding our cobrand relationship with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. As a precursor to the CJEU's final ruling, an advisory opinion was issued by the Advocate General on March 6, 2025, advising the CJEU that our payments to the cobrand partner can be subject to the interchange fee caps but certain payments and services provided by the cobrand partner could potentially be netted against such payments for purposes of determining the capped amount. The advisory opinion is not binding on the CJEU and there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the proceeding. Given differing interpretations by regulators and participants in cobrand arrangements, we are subject to regulatory action, penalties and the possibility we will not be able to maintain our existing cobrand and agent relationships in the EU.

For more information on payments regulation, as well as the potential impacts on our results of operations and business, please see the "Supervision and Regulation" and "Risk Factors" sections of the 2024 Form 10-K.

*Surcharging*

In various countries, such as certain Member States in the EU, Australia and Canada (other than in the Province of Quebec), merchants are permitted by law to surcharge card purchases. In addition, the laws of a number of states in the United States that prohibit surcharging have been overturned and certain states have passed or are considering laws to permit surcharging by merchants. In jurisdictions allowing surcharging, we have seen an increase in merchant surcharging on American Express cards, particularly in certain merchant categories. Surcharging is an adverse customer experience and could have a material adverse effect on us, particularly where it only or disproportionately impacts credit card usage or card usage generally, our Card Members or our business. In addition, we also encounter steering or differential acceptance practices by merchants, which could also have a material adverse effect on us.

For more information on the potential impacts of surcharging and other actions that could impair the Card Member experience, please see the "Risk Factors" section of the 2024 Form 10-K.

*Antitrust Litigation*

We continue to vigorously defend antitrust and other claims initiated by merchants and others. See Note 7 to the "Consolidated Financial Statements" for descriptions of the cases. It is possible that actions impairing the Card Member experience, or the resolution of one or any combination of these cases, could have a material adverse effect on our business. For more information on the potential impacts of an adverse decision in these cases on our business, please see the "Risk Factors" section of the 2024 Form 10-K.

*Privacy, Data Protection, Data Management, Artificial Intelligence, Resiliency, Information Security and Cybersecurity*

Regulatory and legislative activity in the areas of privacy, data protection, data management, artificial intelligence, resiliency, information security and cybersecurity continues to increase worldwide. We have established, and continue to maintain, policies and a governance framework to comply with applicable laws and requirements, meet evolving customer and industry expectations and support and enable business innovation and growth; however, our policies and governance framework may be insufficient given the size and complexity of our business and heightened regulatory scrutiny. Regulators and legislators have heightened their focus on the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning through the application of existing laws and regulations as well as by adopting new laws and regulations, which are reshaping how we develop, deploy and manage artificial intelligence systems, including by imposing new obligations related to data use, recordkeeping, transparency and human oversight.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i180a64b88aa64643a52bd5c8707d5c12_7)</u>

Global financial institutions like us, as well as our customers, colleagues, regulators, service providers and other third parties, have experienced a significant increase in information security and cybersecurity risk in recent years and will likely continue to be the target of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, including computer viruses, malicious or destructive code, ransomware, social engineering attacks (including phishing, impersonation and identity takeover attempts), artificial intelligence-assisted deepfake attacks and disinformation campaigns, corporate espionage, hacking, website defacement, denial-of-service attacks, exploitation of vulnerabilities and other attacks and similar disruptions from the misconfiguration or unauthorized use of or access to computer systems and company accounts. For more information on privacy, data protection and information security and cybersecurity regulation and the potential impacts of a major information security or cybersecurity incident on our results of operations and business, please see the "Supervision and Regulation" and "Risk Factors" sections of the 2024 Form 10-K.

*Anti-Money Laundering, Countering the Financing of Terrorism and Economic Sanctions Compliance*

We are subject to significant supervision and regulation, and an increasingly stringent enforcement environment, with respect to compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) laws and regulations.

Among other things, these laws and regulations generally require us to establish AML/CFT programs that meet certain standards, including, policies and procedures to collect information from and verify the identities of our customers, and to monitor for and report suspicious transactions, in addition to other information gathering and recordkeeping requirements. Our AML/CFT programs have become the subject of heightened scrutiny and any errors, failures or delays in complying with AML/CFT laws, deficiencies in our AML/CFT programs or association of our business with money laundering, terrorist financing, tax fraud or other illicit activity could give rise to significant supervisory, criminal and civil proceedings and lawsuits, which could result in significant penalties and forfeiture of assets, loss of licenses or restrictions on business activities or other enforcement actions.

National governments and international bodies, such as the United Nations and the EU, have imposed economic sanctions against individuals, entities, vessels, governments, regions and countries that endanger their interests or violate international norms of behavior. Sanctions have been used to advance a range of foreign policy goals, including conflict resolution, counterterrorism, counternarcotics and promotion of democracy and human rights, among other national and international interests. We maintain a global sanctions compliance program designed to meet the requirements of applicable sanctions regimes. Failure to comply with such requirements could subject us to serious legal and reputational consequences, including criminal penalties.

For more information on AML/CFT laws and regulations and economic sanctions, as well as the potential impacts on our results of operations and business, please see the "Supervision and Regulation" and "Risk Factors" sections of the 2024 Form 10-K.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i180a64b88aa64643a52bd5c8707d5c12_7)</u>

***Glossary of Selected Terminology***

*Adjusted net interest income* — 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.

*Allocated service costs* — Represents salaries and benefits associated with our technology and customer servicing groups, allocated based on activities directly attributable to our reportable operating segments, as well as overhead expenses, which are allocated to our reportable operating segments based on their relative levels of revenue and Card Member loans and receivables.

*Asset securitizations* — Asset securitization involves the transfer and sale of loans or receivables to a special-purpose entity created for the securitization activity, typically a trust. The trust, in turn, issues securities, commonly referred to as asset-backed securities that are secured by the transferred loans and receivables. The trust uses the proceeds from the sale of such securities to pay the purchase price for the transferred loans or receivables. The securitized loans and receivables of our Lending Trust and Charge Trust (collectively, the Trusts) are reported as assets and the securities issued by the Trusts are reported as liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Billed business* (Card Member spending) — Represents transaction volumes (including cash advances) on payment products issued by American Express.

*Capital ratios* — Represents the minimum standards established by regulatory agencies as a measure to determine whether the regulated entity has sufficient capital to absorb on- and off-balance sheet losses beyond current loss accrual estimates. Refer to the Capital Strategy section under "Consolidated Capital Resources and Liquidity" for further related definitions under Basel III.

*Card Member* — The individual holder of an issued American Express-branded card.

*Card Member loans* — Represents balances on our credit card products and revolve-eligible balances on our charge card products.

*Card Member receivables* — Represents balances on our charge card products that need to be paid in full on or before the Card Member's payment due date.

*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, 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.

*Charge cards* — Represents cards that generally carry no pre-set spending limits and are primarily designed as a method of payment and not as a means of financing purchases. Each transaction on a charge card with no pre-set spending limit is authorized based on its likely economics reflecting a Card Member's most recent credit information and spend patterns. Charge Card Members must pay the full amount of balances billed each month, with the exception of balances that can be revolved under lending features offered on certain charge cards, such as Pay Over Time and Plan It<sup>®</sup>, that allow Card Members to pay for eligible purchases with interest over time.

*Cobrand cards* — Represents cards issued under cobrand agreements with selected commercial partners. Pursuant to the cobrand agreements, we make payments to our cobrand partners, which can be significant, based primarily on the amount of Card Member spending and corresponding rewards earned on such spending and, under certain arrangements, on the number of accounts acquired and retained. The partner is then liable for providing rewards to the Card Member under the cobrand partner's own loyalty program.

*Credit cards* — Represents cards that have a range of revolving payment terms, structured payment features (e.g., Plan It, Expanded Buying Power), grace periods, and rate and fee structures.

*Interest income* — Includes (i) interest on loans, (ii) interest and dividends on investment securities and (iii) interest income on deposits with banks and other.

*Interest on loans* — Assessed using the average daily balance method for Card Member loans. Unless the loan is classified as non-accrual, interest is recognized based upon the principal amount outstanding in accordance with the terms of the applicable account agreement until the outstanding balance is paid or written off.

*Interest and dividends on investment securities* — Primarily relates to our performing fixed-income securities. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method, which adjusts the yield for security premiums and discounts, fees and other payments, so a constant rate of return is recognized on the outstanding balance of the related investment security throughout its term. Amounts are recognized until securities are in default or when it is likely that future interest payments will not be made as scheduled.

*Interest income on deposits with banks and other* — Primarily relates to the placement of cash in excess of near-term funding requirements in interest-bearing time deposits, overnight sweep accounts, and other interest-bearing demand and call accounts.

*Loyalty coalitions* — Programs that enable consumers to earn rewards points and use them to save on purchases from a variety of participating merchants through multi-category rewards platforms. Merchants in these programs generally fund the consumer offers and are responsible to us for the cost of rewards points; we earn revenue from operating the loyalty platform and by providing marketing support.

*Net card fees* — Represents the card membership fees earned during the period recognized as revenue over the covered card membership period (typically one year), net of the provision for projected refunds for Card Membership cancellation and deferred acquisition costs.

*Net interest yield on average Card Member loans —* A non-GAAP measure that is computed by dividing adjusted net interest income by average Card Member loans, computed on an annualized basis. Reserves and net write-offs related to uncollectible interest are recorded through provision for credit losses and are thus not included in the net interest yield calculation.

*Net write-off rate* — *principal only* — Represents the amount of proprietary consumer or small business Card Member loans or receivables written off, consisting of principal (resulting from authorized transactions), less recoveries, as a percentage of the average loan or receivable balance during the period.

*Net write-off rate* — *principal, interest and fees* — Includes, in the calculation of the net write-off rate, amounts for interest and fees in addition to principal for Card Member loans, and fees in addition to principal for Card Member receivables.

*Network volumes* — Represents 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.

*Operating expenses* — Represents salaries and employee benefits, professional services, data processing and equipment, and other expenses.

*Other loan*s — Represents balances on non-card payment and financing products that are not associated with a Card Member agreement, and instead are governed by a separate borrowing relationship. Other loans consist primarily of consumer installment loans and lines of credit offered to small business customers.

*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.

*Reserve build (release)* — Represents 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 build represents the amount by which the provision for credit losses exceeds net write-offs, while reserve release represents the amount by which net write-offs exceed the provision for credit losses.

*T&E spend* — Represents spend on travel and entertainment, which primarily includes airline, cruise, lodging and dining merchant categories.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

**1. Basis of Presentation**

**<u>The Company</u>**

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the 2024 Form 10-K). If not materially different, certain note disclosures included therein have been omitted from these Consolidated Financial Statements.

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, have been made. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These accounting estimates reflect the best judgment of management, but actual results could differ.

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

**<u>Business Events</u>**

Effective June 1, 2025, we reclassified $1.6 billion of Card Member loans related to the Amazon small business cobrand portfolio to Card Member loans HFS on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and released $144 million of associated reserve for credit losses, which was recognized within Provisions for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

On April 16, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Center ID Corp. (Center), an expense management software company. As a result of the acquisition, we recognized $590 million of Goodwill that is reported within our Commercial Services (CS) segment.

On May 1, 2024, we completed the sale of fraud prevention solutions provider Accertify, Inc. (Accertify), a wholly owned subsidiary we acquired in 2010, the operations of which were reported within our Global Merchant and Network Services (GMNS) segment. The transaction resulted in a gain of $531 million ($479 million after tax), which was reported as a reduction to Other expense in the second quarter of 2024. Prior to the completion of the transaction, the carrying amount of Accertify's net assets were not material to our financial position.

**<u>Recently Issued Accounting Standards</u>**

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued updated accounting guidance on Disclosures for Income Taxes, effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The updated guidance requires additional disclosure and disaggregated information in the Income Tax Rate reconciliation using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, with additional qualitative explanations of individually significant reconciling items. The updated guidance also requires disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by jurisdictional categories (federal (national), state and foreign). We are currently assessing the updated guidance; however, it is not expected to have a material impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2024 and as amended in January 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued updated accounting guidance on the Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim reporting periods beginning December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The updated guidance includes the requirement for a new tabular disclosure within a Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements, to disaggregate defined expense categories from the expense report lines presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income. We are currently assessing the updated guidance and its impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

**2. Loans and Card Member Receivables**

Our lending and charge payment card products that we offer to consumer, small business and corporate customers result in the generation of Card Member loans and Card Member receivables. We also extend credit to customers through financing products that are not associated with a Card Member agreement, and instead are governed by a separate borrowing relationship, resulting in Other loans.

Card Member and Other loans as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of:

(a)For corporate accounts, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. A Card Member account is considered 90 days past billing if payment has not been received within 90 days of the Card Member's billing statement date. In addition, if we initiate collection procedures on an account prior to the account becoming 90 days past billing, the associated Card Member loan or receivable balance is classified as 90 days past billing. These amounts are shown above as 90+ Days Past Due for presentation purposes. See also (b).

(b)Delinquency data for periods other than 90+ days past billing has not historically been available due to system constraints. Therefore, such data has not been a material input for risk management purposes. The balances that are current to 89 days past billing can be derived as the difference between the Total and the 90+ Days Past Due balances.

(c)Our policy is generally to accrue interest through the date of write-off (typically 180 days past due). We establish reserves for interest that we believe will not be collected.

(d)Non-accrual loans primarily include certain loans placed with outside collection agencies for which we have ceased accruing interest.

(a)Revolving loans consist primarily of lines of credit offered to small business customers.

(b)Over 90 days past due includes $6 million as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 of loans on which interest is still accruing. Our policy is generally to accrue interest through the date of write-off (typically 120 days past due) except for lines of credit offered to small business customers, where interest ceases to accrue at 90 days past due. We establish reserves for interest that we believe will not be collected.

(c)This total includes non-accrual loans of $19 million as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Non-accruals for consumer installment loans primarily include certain loans placed with outside collection agencies for which we have ceased accruing interest.

(a)We present 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 our practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of our total provision for credit losses, a net write-off rate including principal, interest and/or fees is also presented.

(b)Net write-off rate based on principal losses only is not available due to system constraints.

(c)For corporate receivables, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. Delinquency data for periods other than 90+ days past billing is not available due to system constraints. 90+ days past billing as a % of total was 0.4% as of both June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Refer to Note 3 for additional indicators, including external qualitative factors, management considers in its evaluation process for reserves for credit losses.

**<u>Loans and Receivables Restructurings for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty</u>**

We evaluate all loans and receivables restructurings according to the accounting guidance for loan refinancing and restructuring to determine whether such loan modification should be accounted for as a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. Our loans and receivables restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are generally accounted for as a continuation of the existing loan, which reflects the ongoing effort to support our customer and recover our investment in the existing loan.

We offer several types of loans and receivables modification programs to customers experiencing financial difficulty. In such instances, we may modify loans and receivables with the intention to minimize losses and improve collectability, while providing customers with temporary or permanent financial relief.

Such modifications to the loans and receivables primarily include (i) temporary interest rate reductions (reducing interest rates to as low as zero percent, in which case the loan is characterized as non-accrual), and/or (ii) placing the customer on a fixed payment plan not to exceed 60 months. Upon entering the modification program, the customer's ability to make future purchases is limited, canceled or, in certain cases, suspended until the customer successfully exits from the modification program. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, we had $38 million and $50 million, respectively, of unused credit available to customers with loans and receivables modified during each of the respective six month periods. In accordance with the modification agreement with the customer, loans and/or receivables may revert to the original contractual terms (including the contractual interest rate where applicable) when the customer exits the modification program, which is either (i) when all payments have been made in accordance with the modification agreement or (ii) when the customer defaults out of the modification program.

**3. Reserves for Credit Losses**

Reserves for credit losses represent our best estimate of the expected credit losses in our outstanding portfolio of Card Member loans and receivables as of the balance sheet date. The Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) methodology requires us to estimate lifetime expected credit losses by incorporating historical loss experience, as well as current and future economic conditions over a reasonable and supportable period (R&S Period), which is approximately three years, beyond the balance sheet date. We make various judgments combined with historical loss experience to determine a reserve rate that is applied to the outstanding loan or receivable balance to produce a reserve for expected credit losses.

We use a combination of statistically-based models that incorporate current and future economic conditions throughout the R&S Period. The process of estimating expected credit losses is based on several key models: Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD), and future recoveries for each month of the R&S Period. Beyond the R&S Period, we estimate expected credit losses by immediately reverting to long-term average loss rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PD models are used to estimate the likelihood an account will be written-off.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• EAD models are used to estimate the balance of an account at the time of write-off. This includes balances less expected repayments based on historical payment and revolve behavior, which vary by customer. Due to the nature of revolving loan portfolios, the EAD models are complex and involve assumptions regarding the relationship between future spend and payment behaviors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recovery models are used to estimate amounts that are expected to be received from Card Members after default occurs, typically as a result of collection efforts. Future recoveries are estimated taking into consideration the time of default, time elapsed since default and macroeconomic conditions.

We also estimate the likelihood and magnitude of recovery of previously written off accounts considering how long ago the account was written off and future economic conditions, even if such expected recoveries exceed expected losses. Our models are developed using historical loss experience covering the economic cycle and consider the impact of account characteristics on expected losses. This history includes the performance of loans and receivables modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, including their subsequent defaults.

Future economic conditions that are incorporated over the R&S Period include multiple macroeconomic scenarios provided to us by an independent third party. Management reviews these economic scenarios each period and assigns probability weights to each scenario, generally with a consistent initial distribution. At times, due to macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility, management may apply judgment and assign different probability weights to scenarios. These macroeconomic scenarios contain certain variables, including unemployment rates and real gross domestic product (GDP), that are significant to our models.

We also evaluate whether to include qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but, in our assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions. We consider whether to adjust the quantitative reserves (higher or lower) to address possible limitations within the models or factors not included within the models, such as external conditions, emerging portfolio trends, the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, the volume and severity of past due accounts, or management risk actions.

Lifetime losses for most of our loans and receivables are evaluated at an appropriate level of granularity, including assessment on a pooled basis where financial assets share similar risk characteristics, such as past spend and remittance behaviors, credit bureau scores where available, delinquency status, tenure of balance outstanding, amongst others. Credit losses on accrued interest are measured and presented as part of Reserves for credit losses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and within the Provisions for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income, rather than reversing interest income.

For Other loans, we use vintage-based historical performance to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the loan, net of recovery estimates.

Loans and receivable balances are written off when we consider amounts to be uncollectible, which is generally determined by the number of days past due and is typically no later than 180 days past due for Card Member loans and receivables and 120 days past due for Other loans. Balances in bankruptcy or owed by deceased individuals are generally written off upon notification.

**<u>Changes in Card Member Loans Reserve for Credit Losses</u>**

Card Member loans reserve for credit losses increased for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by increases in loans outstanding and deterioration in the macroeconomic outlook used in our reserve models, partially offset by the release of a reserve upon the previously-mentioned reclassification of a small business cobrand portfolio to Card Member loans HFS.

**<u>Changes in Card Member Receivables Reserve for Credit Losses</u>**

Card Member receivables reserve for credit losses increased for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by increases in receivables outstanding and deterioration in the macroeconomic outlook.

Card Member receivables reserve for credit losses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and remained relatively flat for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The gross unrealized losses on our AFS debt securities are primarily attributable to an increase in the current benchmark interest rate. Overall, for the AFS debt securities in gross unrealized loss positions, (i) we do not intend to sell the securities, (ii) it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the unrealized losses, and (iii) we expect that the contractual principal and interest will be received on the securities. We concluded that there was no credit loss attributable to the securities in an unrealized loss position for the periods presented.

The following table summarizes the gross unrealized losses for AFS debt securities by ratio of fair value to amortized cost as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**5. Asset Securitizations**

We periodically securitize Card Member loans and receivables arising from our card businesses through the transfer of those assets to securitization trusts, American Express Credit Account Master Trust (the Lending Trust) and American Express Issuance Trust II (the Charge Trust and together with the Lending Trust, the Trusts). The Trusts then issue debt securities collateralized by the transferred assets to third-party investors.

The Trusts are considered VIEs as they have insufficient equity at risk to finance their activities, which are to issue debt securities that are collateralized by the underlying Card Member loans and receivables. We perform the servicing and key decision making for the Trusts, and therefore have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Trusts' economic performance, which are the collection of the underlying Card Member loans and receivables. In addition, we hold all of the variable interests in both Trusts, with the exception of the debt securities issued to third-party investors. Our ownership of variable interests in the Lending Trust was $13.1 billion and $14.6 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and in the Charge Trust was $1.5 billion and $3.9 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These variable interests held by us provide us with the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be significant to both the Lending Trust and the Charge Trust. Based on these considerations, we are the primary beneficiary of the Trusts and therefore consolidate the Trusts.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents held by the Lending Trust was $97 million and $88 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and by the Charge Trust was $10 million and nil as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts relate to collections of Card Member loans and receivables to be used by the Trusts to fund future expenses and obligations, including interest on debt securities, credit losses and upcoming debt maturities.

Under the respective terms of the Lending Trust and the Charge Trust agreements, the occurrence of certain triggering events associated with the performance of the assets of each Trust could result in payment of trust expenses, establishment of reserve funds, or, in a worst-case scenario, early amortization of debt securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, no such triggering events occurred.

**7. Contingencies**

In the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are subject to various pending and potential legal actions, arbitration proceedings, claims, investigations, examinations, regulatory proceedings, information gathering requests, subpoenas, inquiries and matters relating to compliance with laws and regulations (collectively, legal proceedings).

Based on our current knowledge, and taking into consideration our litigation-related liabilities, we do not believe we are a party to, nor are any of our properties the subject of, any legal proceeding that would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or liquidity. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters, including the fact that some pending legal proceedings are at preliminary stages or seek an indeterminate amount of damages, penalties or fines, it is possible that the outcome of legal proceedings could have a material impact on our results of operations. Certain legal proceedings involving us or our subsidiaries are described below.

On September 30, 2024, we were named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, captioned <u>Pizza Hazel, Inc., et al. v. American Express Co., et al.,</u> in which plaintiffs allege that the anti-steering and non-discrimination provisions in our merchant agreements violate federal antitrust law and that the arbitration provision in our merchant agreements violates federal antitrust law to the extent it prevents antitrust challenges to our anti-steering and non-discrimination provisions. Plaintiffs seek, on behalf of themselves and a class of merchants that accept through the OptBlue Program, unspecified damages and an injunction prohibiting us from enforcing our anti-steering and non-discrimination provisions and prohibiting us from enforcing our arbitration provision to the extent the arbitration provision prevents antitrust challenges to our anti-steering and non-discrimination provisions.

On March 21, 2024, we were named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, captioned <u>5-Star General Store aka Bento LLC, et al. v. American Express Co., et al.</u>, in which plaintiffs allege that the anti-steering and non-discrimination provisions in our merchant agreements violate federal antitrust law and seek, on behalf of themselves and a class of merchants, an injunction prohibiting us from enforcing our anti-steering and non-discrimination provisions and a declaration that we have violated antitrust laws.

On January 29, 2019, we were named in a putative class action brought in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, captioned <u>Anthony Oliver, et al. v. American Express Company and American Express Travel Related Services Company Inc.</u>, in which the plaintiffs are holders of MasterCard, Visa and/or Discover credit and/or debit cards (but not American Express cards) and allege they paid higher prices as a result of the anti-steering and non-discrimination provisions in our merchant agreements in violation of federal antitrust law and the antitrust and consumer laws of various states. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and other forms of relief. The court dismissed plaintiffs' federal antitrust claim, numerous state antitrust and consumer protection claims and their unjust enrichment claim. For the remaining state antitrust or consumer protection claims, the court certified classes for (i) holders of Visa and MasterCard debit cards in eight states and Washington, D.C.; and (ii) holders of Visa, MasterCard and Discover credit cards that do not offer rewards or charge an annual fee in two states and Washington, D.C. Trial is scheduled for July 2025.

On March 8, 2016, plaintiffs B&R Supermarket, Inc. d/b/a Milam's Market and Grove Liquors LLC, on behalf of themselves and others, filed a suit, captioned <u>B&R Supermarket, Inc. d/b/a Milam's Market, et al. v. Visa Inc., et al.</u>, for violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, California's Cartwright Act and unjust enrichment in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, against American Express Company, other credit and charge card networks, other issuing banks and EMVCo, LLC. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants, through EMVCo, conspired to shift liability for fraudulent, faulty and otherwise rejected consumer credit card transactions from themselves to merchants after the implementation of EMV chip payment terminals. Plaintiffs seek damages and injunctive relief. On May 4, 2017, the California court transferred the case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. On August 28, 2020, the court granted plaintiffs' motion for class certification. On August 14, 2024, the court granted our motion to compel arbitration as to class members who are subject to our merchant agreements, but did not stay the claims pending arbitration. On November 15, 2024, we appealed to the Second Circuit requesting a stay of all claims against us that are subject to arbitration. On March 31, 2025, we reached an agreement in principle with the class representatives to settle this action, which is subject to negotiation of a complete stipulation of settlement and court approval.

In 2006, Mawarid Investments Limited filed a request for confidential arbitration under the 1998 London Court of International Arbitration Rules in connection with certain claims arising under a shareholders agreement between Mawarid and American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. relating to a joint venture between the parties, Amex (Middle East) BSC(c) (AEME). In 2008, the tribunal rendered a partial award, including a direction that an audit should take place to verify whether acquirer discount revenue related to transactions occurring with airlines located in the Middle East region had been properly allocated to AEME since its inception in 1992. In September 2021, the tribunal rendered a further partial award regarding the location of transactions through non-physical channels. In May 2022, the tribunal further clarified the 2021 partial award and the discount rate that should apply to transactions through non-physical channels. In December 2024, the tribunal rendered a further partial award providing further clarifications on the allocation of revenue. A final award is expected in 2025.

We are being challenged in a number of countries regarding our application of value-added taxes (VAT) to certain of our international transactions, which are in various stages of audit, or are being contested in legal actions. While we believe we have complied with all applicable tax laws, rules and regulations in the relevant jurisdictions, the tax authorities may determine that we owe additional VAT. In certain jurisdictions where we are contesting the assessments, we were required to pay the VAT assessments prior to contesting.

Our legal proceedings range from cases brought by a single plaintiff to class actions with millions of putative class members to governmental proceedings. These legal proceedings involve various lines of business and a variety of claims (including, but not limited to, common law tort, contract, application of tax laws, antitrust and consumer protection claims), some of which present novel factual allegations and/or unique legal theories. While some matters pending against us specify the damages sought, many seek an unspecified amount of damages or are at very early stages of the legal process. Even when the amount of damages claimed against us are stated, the claimed amount may be exaggerated and/or unsupported. As a result, some matters have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable us to estimate an amount of loss or a range of possible loss, while other matters have progressed sufficiently such that we are able to estimate an amount of loss or a range of possible loss.

We have accrued for certain of our outstanding legal proceedings. An accrual is recorded when it is both (a) probable that a loss has occurred and (b) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. There may be instances in which an exposure to loss exceeds the accrual. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of the accrual that has been previously recorded, or a revision to the disclosed estimated range of possible losses, as applicable.

For those disclosed legal proceedings where a loss is reasonably possible in future periods, whether in excess of a recorded accrual for legal or tax contingencies, or where there is no such accrual, and for which we are able to estimate a range of possible loss, the current estimated range is zero to $210 million in excess of any accruals related to those matters. This range represents management's estimate based on currently available information and does not represent our maximum loss exposure; actual results may vary significantly. As such legal proceedings evolve, we may need to increase our range of possible loss or recorded accruals. In addition, it is possible that significantly increased merchant steering or other actions impairing the Card Member experience as a result of an adverse resolution in one or any combination of the disclosed merchant cases could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

**8. Derivatives and Hedging Activities**

We use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to various market risks. These instruments derive their value from an underlying variable or multiple variables, including interest rates and foreign exchange rates, and are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These instruments enable end users to increase, reduce or alter exposure to various market risks and, for that reason, are an integral component of our market risk management. We do not transact in derivatives for trading purposes.

A majority of our derivative assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are subject to master netting agreements with our derivative counterparties. Accordingly, where appropriate, we have elected to present derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty on a net basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In relation to our credit risk, certain of our bilateral derivative agreements include provisions that allow our counterparties to terminate the relevant agreement in the event of a downgrade of our debt credit rating below investment grade and settle the outstanding net liability position. As of June 30, 2025, these derivatives were not in a material net liability position. Based on our assessment of the credit risk of our derivative counterparties and our own credit risk as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no credit risk adjustment to the derivative portfolio was required.

The following table summarizes the total fair value, excluding interest accruals, of derivative assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

**<u>Fair Value Hedges</u>**

We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with our fixed-rate debt obligations. At the time of issuance, certain fixed-rate long-term debt obligations are designated in fair value hedging relationships, using interest rate swaps, to economically convert the fixed interest rate to a floating interest rate. We had $30.2 billion and $18.9 billion of fixed-rate debt obligations designated in fair value hedging relationships as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The following table presents the gains and losses recognized in Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income associated with the fair value hedges of our fixed-rate long-term debt for the three and six months ended June 30:

| Total | $**—** | $— | $**—** | $(1) |

---

The carrying values of the hedged liabilities, recorded within Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $30.5 billion and $18.9 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, including the cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments of $427 million and $27 million for the respective periods.

We recognized in Interest expense on Long-term debt net increases of $29 million and $69 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and net increases of $41 million and $132 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily related to the net settlements including interest accruals on our interest rate derivatives designated as fair value hedges.

**<u>Net Investment Hedges</u>**

A net investment hedge is used to hedge future changes in currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. We primarily designate foreign currency derivatives (typically foreign exchange forwards) and, in certain cases, we also designate foreign currency-denominated debt, as hedging instruments to reduce our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates on net investments in foreign subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currency.

We had notional amounts of approximately $15.2 billion and $14.3 billion designated as net investment hedges as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The gain or loss on these net investment hedges, net of taxes, recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment, was a loss of $551 million and a gain of $197 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and a loss of $749 million and a gain of $283 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net investment hedge reclassifications out of AOCI into the Consolidated Statements of Income were not significant for any of the three and the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

**<u>Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges</u>**

The changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are primarily intended to offset the related foreign exchange gains or losses of the underlying foreign currency exposures. We had notional amounts of approximately $31.4 billion and $28.8 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The changes in the fair value of the derivatives and the related underlying foreign currency exposures resulted in net gains of $4 million and $27 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and net gains of $19 million and $43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that are recognized in Other, net expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Our embedded derivative related to seller earnout shares granted to us upon the completion of a business combination in the second quarter of 2022 between our equity method investee, American Express Global Business Travel, and Apollo Strategic Growth Capital had a notional amount of $78 million as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative resulted in a loss of $7 million and a gain of $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and losses of $24 million and $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which were recognized in Service fees and other revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

**<u>Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements</u>**

We have certain assets that are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values, which include investments in our Amex Ventures portfolio, are measured at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition if they are determined to be impaired or where there is an observable price change for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

We generally estimate the fair value of these investments based on the observed transaction price. In addition, impairments on such investments are recorded to account for the difference between the estimated fair value and carrying value of an investment based on a qualitative assessment of impairment indicators such as business performance, general market conditions and the economic and regulatory environment. When an impairment triggering event occurs, the fair value measurement is generally derived by taking into account all available information, such as share prices of publicly traded peer companies, internal valuations performed by our investees, and other third-party fair value data. The fair value of these investments represents a Level 3 fair value measurement.

The carrying value of equity investments without readily determinable fair values totaled $1.0 billion and $0.9 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of which investments subject to nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurement during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 totaled $0.4 billion and $1 million, respectively. These amounts are included within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We recorded unrealized gains of $91 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and $67 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Unrealized losses were nil and $11 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $38 million and $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in Other, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Since the adoption of new accounting guidance on the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities on January 1, 2018, cumulative unrealized gains and losses for equity investments without readily determinable fair values totaled $1.2 billion and $0.5 billion as of June 30, 2025, respectively.

In addition, we also have certain equity investments measured at fair value using the net asset value practical expedient. Such investments were immaterial as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The maximum potential undiscounted future payments and related liability resulting from guarantees and indemnifications provided by us in the ordinary course of business were $1 billion and $11 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2025 and $1 billion and $10 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024, all of which were primarily related to our real estate arrangements and business dispositions.

To date, we have not experienced any significant losses related to guarantees or indemnifications. Our recognition of these instruments is at fair value. In addition, we establish reserves when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

**13. Income Taxes**

The effective tax rate was 18.7 percent and 20.4 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and 20.5 percent and 21.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The lower effective tax rates for the three and six month periods primarily reflected discrete tax benefits in the current periods relating to the resolution of certain prior-year tax items.

We are under continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and tax authorities in other countries and states in which we have significant business operations. The tax years under examination and open for examination vary by jurisdiction. We are currently under examination by the IRS for the 2017 and 2018 tax years.

In 2024, we received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (Notice) from the IRS regarding transfer pricing between our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries for the 2017 and 2018 tax years currently under examination. The Notice proposes an increase to our U.S. taxable income that would result in an additional estimated U.S. federal income tax payment of approximately $185 million for 2017 and 2018, excluding interest and state income taxes, and asserts penalties of approximately $50 million for the same period. Although the Notice only applies to the 2017 and 2018 tax years currently under examination, the IRS may seek similar adjustments for subsequent tax years.

We strongly disagree with the IRS's positions and plan to pursue all available remedies to vigorously contest the adjustments made by the IRS. We believe our income tax reserves are appropriate for all open tax years and that final resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations. However, the ultimate outcome of this matter is uncertain, and if we are required to pay the IRS additional U.S. taxes, interest and/or potential penalties, our results of operations could be materially affected for the period in which the matter is resolved.

We believe it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits could decrease within the next twelve months by as much as $126 million, principally as a result of potential resolutions of prior years' tax items with various taxing authorities. The prior years' tax items include unrecognized tax benefits relating to the deductibility of certain expenses or losses and the attribution of taxable income to a particular jurisdiction or jurisdictions. Of the $126 million of unrecognized tax benefits, approximately $99 million relates to amounts that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate in a future period.

**<u>Tax Credit Investments</u>**

As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, we had $1,697 million and $1,577 million in tax credit investments, respectively, included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, comprised of Low Income Housing Tax Credit investments and other qualifying investments. We account for such tax credit investments using the Proportional Amortization Method.

The following table presents tax credit investment expenses and associated income tax credits and other income tax benefits for the three and six months ended June 30:

(a) Other income tax benefits are a result of tax deductible expenses generated by our tax credit investments

Income tax credits and other income tax benefits associated with our tax credit investments are also recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the Operating activities section primarily under Accounts payable and other liabilities. Refer to Note 6 to our "Consolidated Financial Statements" in the 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on our tax credit investments for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**14. Earnings Per Common Share (EPS)**

The computations of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30 were as follows:

**Table 14.1: Computation of Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share**

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Three Months Ended<br>June 30, | Three Months Ended<br>June 30, | Six Months Ended<br>June 30, | Six Months Ended<br>June 30, |
| *(Millions, except per share amounts)* | **2025** | 2024 | **2025** | 2024 |
| **Numerator:** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic and diluted: |  |  |  |  |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Preferred dividends | **(15)** | (15) | **(29)** | (29) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net income available to common shareholders | $**2870** | $3000 | $**5440** | $5423 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Earnings allocated to participating share awards <sup>(a)</sup> | **(18)** | (23) | **(36)** | (41) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net income attributable to common shareholders | $**2852** | $2977 | $**5404** | $5382 |
| **Denominator:**<sup>(a)</sup> |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic: Weighted-average common stock | **698** | 716 | **700** | 718 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Add: Weighted-average stock options <sup>(b)</sup> | **1** | 1 | **1** | 1 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted | **699** | 717 | **701** | 719 |
| Basic EPS | $**4.08** | $4.16 | $**7.73** | $7.49 |
| Diluted EPS | $**4.08** | $4.15 | $**7.71** | $7.48 |

---

(a)Our unvested restricted stock awards, which include the right to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents, are considered participating securities. Calculations of EPS under the two-class method exclude from the numerator any dividends paid or owed on participating securities and any undistributed earnings considered to be attributable to participating securities. The related participating securities are similarly excluded from the denominator.

(b)The dilutive effect of unexercised stock options excludes from the computation of EPS 0.2 million and 0.1 million of options for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 0.1 million of options for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 because inclusion of the options would have been anti-dilutive.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

Market risk is the risk to earnings or asset and liability values resulting from movements in market prices. Our market risk exposures include (i) interest rate risk due to changes in the relationship between the interest rates on our assets (such as loans, receivables and investment securities) and the interest rates on our liabilities (such as debt and deposits); and (ii) foreign exchange risk related to transactions, funding, investments and earnings in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Since December 31, 2024, there have been no material changes in our market risk exposures associated with interest rates. With respect to anticipated earnings denominated in foreign currencies for the next twelve months, the adverse impact on pretax income of a hypothetical 10 percent strengthening of the U.S. dollar, net of hedges, would be approximately $186 million as of June 30, 2025.

The actual impact of interest rate and foreign exchange rate changes will depend on, among other factors, the timing of rate changes, the extent to which different rates do not move in the same direction or in the same direction to the same degree, changes in the cost, volume and mix of our hedging activities and changes in the volume and mix of our businesses.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(a)On March 8, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 120 million common shares from time to time, subject to market conditions and in accordance with our capital plans. This authorization replaced the prior repurchase authorization. See "MD&A – Consolidated Capital Resources and Liquidity" for additional information regarding share repurchases.

(b)Includes: (i) shares surrendered by holders of employee stock options who exercised options (granted under our incentive compensation plans) in satisfaction of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligation of such holders and (ii) restricted shares withheld (under the terms of grants under our incentive compensation plans) to offset tax withholding obligations that occur upon vesting and release of restricted shares. Our incentive compensation plans provide that the value of the shares delivered or attested to, or withheld, be based on the price of our common stock on the date the relevant transaction occurs.

(c)The average price paid per share does not reflect costs and taxes associated with the purchase of shares.

(d)Share purchases under publicly announced programs are made pursuant to open market purchases, plans intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act, privately negotiated transactions or other purchases, including block trades, accelerated share repurchase programs or any combination of such methods as market conditions warrant and at prices we deem appropriate.
