Ameriprise Financial Reports Increased Earnings
for Second Quarter 2007
Net income per diluted share increases 42 percent to $0.81 for the quarter, including $0.17
of non-recurring separation costs
Adjusted earnings per diluted share increase 24 percent to $0.98
MINNEAPOLIS – July 25, 2007 – Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) today reported net
income of $196 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 39 percent from net
income of $141 million for the year-ago quarter. Adjusted earnings(1) increased 22 percent to $237
million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006. Adjusted earnings
exclude after-tax non-recurring separation costs.
Net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2007 was $0.81, an increase of 42 percent
from the prior year period. Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2007 were
$0.98, an increase of 24 percent from the year-ago period.
Revenues grew 6 percent to $2.2 billion in the second quarter of 2007. Revenues grew 10 percent
excluding the proceeds from the sale of the defined contribution recordkeeping business in the
prior year quarter. This reflected strong growth of fee-based businesses, including 20 percent
growth in management, financial advice and service fees and 28 percent growth in distribution
fees.
Return on equity for the 12 months ended June 30, 2007 was 9.2 percent, or 12.5 percent when
adjusted for the separation, up from 10.7 percent for the 12 months ended June 30, 2006.
“This was another strong quarter for Ameriprise Financial, highlighted by continued improvements
in advisor productivity and growth in our fee-based businesses,” said Jim Cracchiolo, chairman and
chief executive officer. “We continue to execute our growth strategy while effectively managing
expenses and maintaining a strong balance sheet. The quarter also marked the achievement of
two important milestones – we have essentially completed our separation from American Express
and have returned to net inflows in RiverSource Funds.”

3. Second Quarter 2007 Consolidated Highlights
The Company continued to drive improvements in the profitability and productivity of its distribution
network:
Mass affluent and affluent client groups increased 12 percent from the year-ago period,
with high rates of financial planning penetration for newly acquired clients in this core
group.
Gross Dealer Concession (GDC) increased 20 percent from the year-ago period,
reflecting strong advisor productivity gains.
Franchisee advisor retention remained strong at 93 percent. The total number of
advisors decreased 2 percent over the same time period, as the Company hired fewer
employee advisors and continued to focus on further strengthening advisor productivity
and distribution economics.
The Company successfully grew client assets:
Owned, managed and administered assets increased 13 percent from the prior-year
period, reaching $484 billion at June 30, 2007.
RiverSource® Funds achieved net inflows of $0.7 billion from mutual funds and annuity
variable accounts, primarily due to increasing sales driven by strong investment
performance, increased penetration of goal-based solutions and effective wholesaling.
$3.5 billion of net inflows in wrap accounts in the quarter contributed to total ending
wrap assets of $89 billion. This included more than $1.1 billion in ending assets in
Active PortfoliosSM, a discretionary managed account platform launched in February
2007, which has been one of the Company’s most successful product launches and
further strengthens its leadership position in wrap.
Strong sales in the branded advisor and third party channels helped drive $1.5 billion in
net inflows in annuity variable accounts. Overall positive annuity flows were impacted by
$1.1 billion in net outflows from annuity fixed accounts during the quarter, primarily due
to the interest rate environment.
Threadneedle grew revenues from higher-margin retail and alternative portfolios while
effectively managing expenses. Threadneedle continued to manage outflows in lower-
margin institutional assets, primarily resulting from Zurich’s transfer of part of its U.K.
annuity business during the quarter.
Life insurance in-force increased 8 percent year-over-year to $181 billion.
The Company has essentially completed its separation from American Express on budget and on
schedule. All remaining separation costs are expected to be incurred in the second half of 2007.

5. Second Quarter 2007 Consolidated Results
Net income grew 39 percent to $196 million. Adjusted earnings grew 22 percent to $237 million,
compared to the year-ago quarter. This reflected strong growth in fee-based businesses and
expense controls resulting in pretax income margin improving to 11.2 percent compared to 9.1
percent a year ago. Excluding separation costs, pretax income margin improved to 14.1 percent
from 13.2 percent.
Revenues
Consolidated revenues rose 6 percent, or $129 million, to $2.2 billion. Revenues grew 10 percent
excluding the proceeds from the sale of the recordkeeping business in the prior-year quarter.
Management, financial advice and service fees grew 20 percent, or $142 million, to $863 million,
reflecting continued success in gathering fee-based assets. Wrap account balances grew 34
percent and annuity variable account assets grew 35 percent year-over-year. These balances were
driven by strong net inflows and market appreciation.
Distribution fees grew 28 percent, or $90 million, to $415 million, driven by strong advisor cash
sales, including an increase in sales of direct investments as clients reinvested proceeds from real
estate investment trust liquidations.
Net investment income declined 7 percent, or $37 million, to $485 million, reflecting the ongoing
trend of declining annuity fixed account and certificate balances, offset by higher net investment
income attributable to derivatives used to hedge certain benefits and interest credited expenses.
The second quarter of 2007 also included $2 million in net realized investment gains, compared to
$6 million for the second quarter of 2006.
Premiums grew 6 percent, or $14 million, to $243 million, primarily driven by an increase in Auto
and Home policy counts.
Other revenues declined 31 percent, or $80 million, to $176 million, primarily due to the inclusion of
$66 million in proceeds from the sale of the recordkeeping business and $18 million from
recognizing previously deferred cost of insurance revenues in last year’s quarter. Excluding these
items, revenues increased 2 percent, as higher fees from variable annuity riders and cost of
insurance for variable universal life/universal life (VUL/UL) insurance were offset by lower other
revenues on certain consolidated limited partnerships.
Expenses
Consolidated expenses rose 5 percent, or $91 million, to $1.9 billion. Expenses grew 7 percent
when excluding the costs from the sale of the recordkeeping business in the second quarter of
2006. The increase in expenses was primarily due to a $102 million increase in Compensation and
benefits -- field driven by business growth and strong advisor productivity.
The Company manages Compensation and benefits -- non-field and Other expenses in relation to
revenue growth to drive pretax income margin expansion. Combined, these two lines increased 2
percent, or $12 million, to $646 million. Declines related to lower legal and transaction costs were
largely offset by a number of other items in the current quarter, such as expenses for Ameriprise
Bank, increased investment in the business, and higher accrued compensation in recognition of
year-to-date performance.
5
6. Compensation and benefits – Field increased 23 percent, or $102 million, to $538 million, due to
strong advisor productivity growth.
Interest credited to account values declined 1 percent, or $4 million, to $303 million, reflecting
continued declines in annuity fixed account and certificate balances, partially offset by higher
crediting rates.
Benefits, claims, losses and settlement expenses increased 2 percent, or $5 million, to $230
million. Volume-driven increases in Auto and Home were offset by the positive impact of markets
on variable annuity benefits expenses. The second quarter of 2006 included a net reserve benefit.
Amortization of deferred acquisition cost (DAC) expenses declined 18 percent, or $28 million, to
$125 million. The favorable impact of equity markets in the current quarter offset growth in DAC
amortization from new product sales. Higher expenses in the second quarter of 2006 primarily
reflected an adjustment to DAC balances in Auto and Home.
Interest and debt expense increased 14 percent, or $4 million, to $32 million, reflecting additional
interest costs from the $500 million of junior subordinated notes (hybrid securities) issued in May
2006.
Separation costs incurred in the quarter were $63 million. Since the announcement of the
spin-off, the Company has incurred $802 million in non-recurring separation costs and
expects to incur all remaining costs in the second half of 2007.
Taxes
The effective tax rate on net income was 20.0 percent for the quarter, down from 24.3 percent in
the prior year period. The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings was 23.1 percent for the quarter
and 25.0 percent year to date, compared to 25.2 percent for full year 2006. The current quarter
included a benefit from the finalization of certain income tax audits.

7. Balance Sheet and Capital
The Company maintains a very strong, high quality balance sheet. During the second
quarter of 2007, the Company repurchased 2.3 million shares for approximately $142 million.
Over the past six quarters, the Company repurchased 18.9 million shares for $964 million.
The quarter-end basic share count was 236.6 million. The weighted average diluted share
count for the second quarter of 2007 was 241.0 million, down from 248.0 million for the
second quarter of 2006.
The Company’s commitment to maintaining the safety and soundness of its balance sheet is
reflected in substantial liquidity, a high quality investment portfolio, low financial leverage and
its continuing actions to manage and mitigate risk exposures.
Cash and cash equivalents were more than $3.3 billion, at June 30, 2007.
The quality of the Available-for-Sale fixed income investment portfolio, representing
approximately 25 percent of balance sheet assets, remained high.
Investments with subprime exposure represented only 0.7 percent of the
o
Company’s total investment portfolio with more than 90 percent rated AAA
and the remainder rated AA.
The percentage of below investment grade assets declined to 6 percent.
o
The residential mortgage-backed bond portfolio remains very high quality,
o
with high credit ratings and limited interest rate and prepayment risk.
o Credit risk remained limited with 96 percent rated AAA and 4 percent
rated AA.
o Duration was 2.7 years and convexity was a favorable -0.5.
Unrealized net investment losses in the Available-for-Sale investment portfolio were

ratio excluding non-recourse debt and with 75 percent equity credit for the hybrid
securities was 16.9 percent. For the second quarter of 2007 the ratio of earnings to

due to strong wrap and variable annuity inflows, strong advisor cash sales, and market
appreciation. The segment represented 74 percent of consolidated revenues and 90 percent of
pretax adjusted earnings. Revenues grew 8 percent, or $123 million, to $1.6 billion. Excluding the
proceeds from the sale of the recordkeeping business in the second quarter of last year, revenue
growth was 13 percent. Revenues also reflected declining net investment income from lower
annuity fixed account and certificate balances.

million, primarily due to continued business growth in VUL/UL and Auto and Home. The segment
represented 23 percent of consolidated revenues and 33 percent of pretax adjusted earnings.
Revenues grew 2 percent, or $12 million, to $508 million, primarily reflecting growth in Auto and
Home premiums. The prior year quarter included $18 million from recognizing previously deferred
cost of insurance revenues. Excluding this item, revenues grew 6 percent.
The Corporate segment revenue decrease of 9 percent, or $6 million, primarily reflected lower net
investment income from the mark-to-market of equity market hedges. The pretax loss in this
segment increased $7 million to $135 million. Adjusted for non-recurring separation costs, the
pretax loss increased $28 million to $72 million, primarily reflecting an increase in Other expenses.
