Over the five-year period, US BANCORP’s revenue showed notable volatility. Revenue fell from USD 14.84 billion in 2020 to USD 13.49 billion in 2021, a decline of roughly 9%, before rebounding sharply to USD 24.30 billion in 2022, representing an approximate 80% surge. Although revenue climbed steadily to USD 28.14 billion in 2023, it dipped slightly to USD 27.46 billion in 2024. Meanwhile, gross profit figures were highly erratic. After a modest gross profit of USD 1.47 billion in 2020, the company reported a negative gross profit of USD –241 million in 2021—a significant swing of over 100% in relative terms—before recovering strongly to USD 9.40 billion in 2022. By 2024, gross profit had further improved to USD 10.27 billion, suggesting an operational turnaround and improved cost management in the latter years. Operating income and net income trends also offered mixed signals. Operating income rose markedly from USD 6.05 billion in 2020 to USD 10.17 billion in 2021, a more than 60% jump, yet then settled in the range of USD 6.87 billion to USD 7.91 billion during 2022–2024. Net income followed a similar pattern, increasing from USD 4.96 billion in 2020 to USD 7.96 billion in 2021 before moderating to between USD 5.43 billion and USD 6.30 billion in subsequent years. These swings, particularly the pronounced shifts in gross profit and operating income, could be driven by changes in cost structures or operational strategies. Overall, despite the volatility in revenue and margins, US BANCORP’s consistent profitability and recovery in gross profit indicate a resilient financial profile and a capacity to navigate shifting market conditions effectively.
