Wells Fargo & Company Q4 2008 Earnings Call Transcript

The result of consistently extending credit and building our franchise shows up in our accelerated top line growth. A metric such as pre-tax pre-provision profit in other words growth in revenue net of expenses is relevant because it demonstrates the underlying earnings power of the franchise each year and over the long term apart from the up and down impacts of the credit cycle. Wells Fargo has typically grown pre-tax pre-provision earnings at least 10% per year except for 2006 when we were deliberately shrinking our balance sheet because we weren?t getting paid enough to hold assets. As spreads have widened significantly during the credit crisis we have been able to accelerate growth at wider margins and consequently pre-tax pre-provision profit growth last year accelerated to 18%. Relative to our peers we have had the highest and most consistent growth in top line revenue net of expense growth over either 1 year or 5 year time periods. Adjusted for acquisitions none of the large peers had positive pre-tax pre-provision growth last year. ur relative performance is due to our faster loan and deposit growth as well as the fact that we have not had the revenue losses that all of our peers have had in connection with problems from covenant light leverage lending structured investments proprietary trading or market making in sub-prime or exotic securities because we have never had material exposure to those activities.

Also the love of performance and the passion for creating a really effective commercial message for all types of businesses. What decision or action would you change if you could do it again? Probably to start marketing ourselves more aggressively from the start-up. ur business has grown slowly primarily by word of mouth. We probably could have seen quicker growth had we marketed like we do now. Derek stayed with his day job as a radio production director while I ran the business full-time. He joined the business full-time in April last year.

Indeed it is a crucial driver of attitudes values and ideas. The changes that are happening to broadcasting and other forms of delivery of audio visual material increase the importance of multi-financed film. Film has an essential part to play in provoking creativity entrepreneurial activity and freedom of thought and imagination.
