U.S. Bancorp chairman and CEO Richard Davis said: The banking industry continues to face steady headwinds, including persistently low interest rates, a flat yield curve, and a slow economic recovery that caused some commercial customers to pause investments in their businesses during the quarter. Despite the operating environment, we announced record earnings per share and solid revenue growth, particularly within our fee-based businesses.
