U.S. Bancorp posts record quarterly revenue on loan growth boost, BTIG buy

July 16 (Reuters) – U.S. Bancorp reported record quarterly revenue on Thursday, benefiting from robust loan growth and broad-based fee income, while its acquisition of investment bank BTIG provided an additional boost.

Here are some more details:

• Net interest income, the difference between what a bank earns on loans and pays out on deposits, rose 7.7% over the year earlier to $4.36 billion in the second quarter, driven by strong loan growth and fixed-asset repricing.

• Average loan growth was 7.1%, underpinned by strength in commercial, credit card and commercial real estate loans.

• U.S. Bancorp posted third consecutive quarter of record consumer deposits, while credit quality continued to improve, CEO Gunjan Kedia said.

• Total fee revenue jumped 13.2% to $3.37 billion during the quarter.

• The fifth-largest U.S. commercial bank in June finalized its acquisition of BTIG in an up to $1 billion deal, bolstering its capital markets presence.

• The BTIG buy, higher fees from corporate bond underwriting, and stronger client-related derivative activity drove a 62.5% surge in quarterly capital markets revenue to $512 million.

• Profit attributable to U.S. Bancorp jumped 20% to $2.18 billion. Total net revenue increased 10.1% to $7.71 billion.
