Bank Performance Valuation
The UBPR report, which covers the operations of a bank, provides a very useful tool for the management of the financial firm, and thus do us a great favor to have a deep understanding of the financial firm.
Directly from the page 1 of the UBPR report, the basic profit status of the commercial bank can be seen both from its development tendency and from the comparison between its own and the peer group ratio.

So though both the noninterest income and the noninterest expense is higher than its peer group, the advantage of its income is bigger than the disadvantage of its expense when in terms of the noninterest income and expenses. Thirdly, its loan and lease losses provision is much higher than its peer group. It can be seen that the peer groups provision has decreased by more than 54 percent from the year 2012 to the year 2013, which leads to the provision of the U.S. Bank National Association is 2.73 times that of its peer group.
