•net interest income, the effects of changes in interest rates and the growth of loans and Card Member receivables outstanding and revolving balances, being higher or lower than expectations, which could be impacted by, among other things, the behavior and financial strength of Card Members and their actual spending, borrowing and paydown patterns; the effectiveness of the Company’s strategies to enhance Card Member value propositions, grow lending with premium customers and capture a greater share of Card Members’ spending and borrowings, and attract new, and retain existing, customers; the Company’s ability to effectively introduce and enhance lending features on its products and manage underwriting risk; changes in benchmark interest rates, including where such changes affect the Company’s assets or liabilities differently than expected; continued volatility and other changes in capital and credit market conditions and the availability and cost of capital; credit actions, including line size and other adjustments to credit availability; the yield on Card Member loans not remaining consistent with current expectations; the Company’s deposit levels or the interest rates it offers on deposits changing from current expectations; loss or impacts to cobrand relationships; and governmental actions to cap credit card interest rates;

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

AMERICAN EXPRESS Q3 2025 RESULTS

1	As used in this release, FX-adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of currency translations into U.S. dollars (i.e., assumes the foreign exchange rates used to determine results for current period apply to the corresponding prior-year period against which such results are being compared). FX-adjusted revenues is a non-GAAP measure. The company believes the presentation of information on an FX-adjusted basis is helpful to investors by making it easier to compare the company’s performance in one period to that of another period without the variability caused by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
2	Diluted earnings per common share (EPS) was reduced by the impact of (i) earnings allocated to participating share awards of $20 million and $18 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $56 million and $59 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and (ii) dividends on preferred shares of $14 million and $15 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $43 million and $44 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
3	Adjusted diluted earnings per common share, a non-GAAP measure, excludes the $0.66 per share impact of the gain from the sale of Accertify, Inc. recognized in the second quarter of 2024. See Appendix I for a reconciliation to EPS on a GAAP basis. Management believes adjusted EPS is useful in evaluating the ongoing operating performance of the company.
4	Net write-off rates are based on principal losses only (i.e., excluding interest and/or fees) and represent consumer and small business Card Member loans and receivables (net write-off rates based on principal losses only are unavailable for corporate). We present a net write-off rate based on principal losses only to be consistent with industry convention. Net write-off rates including interest and fees are presented in the Statistical Tables for the third quarter of 2025 available on the above-mentioned American Express Investor Relations website, as our practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of our total provision for credit losses.
5	As of June 2025, including an estimated 43 million merchants that accept American Express through payment facilitators and 34 million merchants that accept American Express through digital wallets in China. 2017-2025 growth does not include merchant locations through certain payment facilitators.
6	American Express received the highest score among credit card issuers in the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Credit Card Satisfaction Study, which measures customer satisfaction with consumer’s primary credit card, excluding co-branded cards. The Platinum Card® by American Express received the highest score in the Bank Rewards Credit Card with an Annual Fee segment of the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Credit Card Satisfaction Study, which profiles the experiences of customers from the largest credit card issuers. Visit jdpower.com/awards for more details.

As used in this release:

•Card Member spending (billed business) represents transaction volumes, including cash advances, on payment products issued by American Express.

•Operating expenses represent salaries and employee benefits, professional services, data processing and equipment, and other, net.

•Reserve releases and reserve builds represent the portion of the provisions for credit losses for the period related to increasing or decreasing reserves for credit losses as a result of, among other things, changes in volumes, macroeconomic outlook, portfolio composition, and credit quality of portfolios.

•the company’s ability to achieve its 2025 earnings per common share (EPS) guidance and grow EPS in the future, which will depend in part on revenue growth, credit performance, credit reserve and expense levels and the effective tax rate remaining consistent with current expectations and the company’s ability to continue investing at high levels in areas that can drive sustainable growth (including its brand, value propositions, coverage, marketing, technology and talent), controlling operating expenses, effectively managing risk and executing its share repurchase program, any of which could be impacted by, among other things, the factors identified in the subsequent paragraph and the Form 8-K Cautionary Note, as well as the following: macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including a slowdown in U.S. or global economic growth, changes to consumer and business confidence, higher rates of unemployment, global trade relations and the effects of announced or future tariffs, international tensions, hostilities and instability, changes in interest rates, inflation, supply chain issues, market volatility, energy costs, the duration of the U.S. government shutdown and fiscal and monetary policies; the impact of any future contingencies, including, but not limited to, legal costs and settlements, the imposition of fines or monetary penalties, increases in Card Member remediation, investment gains or losses, restructurings, impairments and changes in reserves; issues impacting brand perceptions and the company’s reputation; changes in the competitive environment; impacts related to acquisitions, cobrand and other partner agreements, portfolio sales, joint ventures and other investments; and the impact of regulation and litigation, which could affect the profitability of the company’s business activities, limit the company’s ability to pursue business opportunities, require changes to business practices or alter the company’s relationships with Card Members, partners and merchants; and

AMERICAN EXPRESS Q3 2025 RESULTS

•the company’s ability to achieve its 2025 revenue growth guidance and grow revenues net of interest expense in the future, which could be impacted by, among other things, the factors identified above and in the Form 8-K Cautionary Note, as well as the following: spending volumes and the spending environment not being consistent with expectations, including spending by U.S. consumer and small & mid-sized business Card Members, such as due to uncertain business and economic conditions; an inability to address competitive pressures, attract and retain customers, invest in and enhance the company’s Membership Model of premium products, differentiated services and partnerships, successfully refresh its card products (including U.S. Consumer and Business Platinum Cards), grow spending and lending with customers across age cohorts (including Millennial and Gen-Z customers) and commercial segments and implement strategies and business initiatives, including within the premium consumer space, commercial payments and the global network; the effects of regulatory initiatives, including pricing and network regulation; merchant coverage growing less than expected or the reduction of merchant acceptance or the perception of coverage; increased surcharging, steering, suppression or other differential acceptance practices with respect to the company’s products; merchant discount rates changing from the company’s expectations; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

A further description of these uncertainties and other risks can be found in American Express Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2025 and the company’s other reports filed with the SEC, including in the Form 8-K Cautionary Note.

Appendix II	(Preliminary)
The financial measures in the preceding tables are presented on a basis prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), unless otherwise indicated. Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation. Amounts presented in the preceding tables may not sum and percentages may not recalculate due to rounding.
---	---
(A)	Represents net income, less (i) earnings allocated to participating share awards of $20 million, $18 million, $18 million, $17 million and $18 million in Q3'25, Q2'25, Q1'25, Q4'24 and Q3'24, respectively; and (ii) dividends on preferred shares of $14 million, $15 million, $14 million, $14 million and $15 million in Q3'25, Q2'25, Q1'25, Q4'24 and Q3'24, respectively.
(B)	Within assets, "other" includes the following items as presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets: Other loans, less reserves for credit losses, Premises and equipment and Other assets (including Other receivables); and within liabilities, "other" includes the following items: Accounts payable and Other liabilities.
(C)	Net interest yield on average Total loans and Card Member receivables represents net interest income, computed on an annualized basis, divided by average Card Member loans, Card Member loans Held for Sale, Other loans and Card Member receivables. 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.
(D)	Return on Average Equity (ROE) is calculated by dividing annualized net income for the period by average shareholders' equity for the period. Return on Average Common Equity (ROCE) is calculated by dividing annualized net income attributable to common shareholders for the period by average common shareholders' equity for the period.
(E)	Supplementary Leverage Ratio is calculated as Tier 1 capital divided by total leverage exposure. Total leverage exposure includes total average on-balance sheet assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures, net of amounts that are deducted from Tier 1 capital. We became a Category III firm in the third quarter of 2024 and thus are subject to a minimum supplementary leverage ratio from the fourth quarter onwards.
(F)	Presented for the purpose of calculating the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio.
(G)	Network volumes represent total transaction volumes (including cash advances) on payment products issued by American Express and under network partnership agreements with banks and other institutions, including joint ventures, as well as alternative payment solutions facilitated by American Express.
(H)	Billed business represents transaction volumes (including cash advances) on payment products issued by American Express.
(I)	Cards-in-force represent the number of cards that are issued and outstanding by American Express (proprietary cards-in-force) and cards issued and outstanding under network partnership agreements with banks and other institutions, except for retail cobrand cards issued by network partners that had no out-of-store spending activity during the prior twelve months. Basic cards-in-force excludes supplemental cards issued on consumer accounts. Cards-in-force is useful in understanding the size of our Card Member base.
(J)	Average fee per card is computed on an annualized basis based on proprietary net card fees divided by average proprietary total cards-in-force.
(K)	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.
(L)	FX-adjusted information assumes a constant exchange rate between the periods being compared for purposes of conversion into U.S. dollars (e.g., assumes the foreign exchange rates used to determine results for the current period apply to the corresponding prior year period against which such results are being compared).
(M)	Our practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of our total provision for credit losses and we therefore present a net write-off rate including principal, interest and/or fees. We also present a net write-off rate based on principal losses only to be consistent with industry convention.
(N)	Net write-off rate for principal losses only and 30+ days past due metrics represent consumer and small business, and are not available for corporate due to system constraints.
(O)	Other includes foreign currency impact on balance sheet re-measurement and translation.
