2Q24 Financial Commentary

  • Total net revenue increased by 1% year-over-year led by sustained market strength
  • Net interest margin expanded to 2.03%, up 1 basis point sequentially
  • Client transactional sweep cash balances ended June at $374.8 billion, reflecting clients’ April tax disbursements, slowing client cash realignment activity, and continued net securities purchases by clients
  • Supplemental funding (3) finished the second quarter at $73.7 billion, up from the first quarter as we redirected some client cash from the bank to the broker-dealer to support increased margin lending
  • Asset management and administration fees totaled $1.4 billion, a new quarterly record
  • GAAP expenses declined by 1% versus the prior year period and included $43 million in accruals in connection with an industry-wide regulatory review of off-channel communications
  • Second quarter acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangibles, and restructuring costs totaled $175 million, down $89 million from 2Q23. Exclusive of these items, adjusted total expenses (1) grew by 2%
  • Charles Schwab Bank, SSB (CSB) capital ratios continued to build, with preliminary Tier 1 Leverage and adjusted Tier 1 Leverage (1) reaching 10.9% and 6.2%, respectively

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(In millions, except ratios and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), Schwab’s second quarter earnings release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information about the financial performance of the Company, and facilitate meaningful comparison of Schwab’s results in the current period to both historic and future results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

Schwab’s use of non-GAAP measures is reflective of certain adjustments made to GAAP financial measures as described below. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, these adjustments also include restructuring costs, which the Company began incurring in connection with its previously announced plans to streamline its operations to prepare for post-integration of Ameritrade. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 10 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 for additional information.

Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure

Definition

Usefulness to Investors and Uses by Management

Acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs

Schwab adjusts certain GAAP financial measures to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related costs incurred as a result of the Company’s acquisitions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, and, where applicable, the income tax effect of these expenses.

Adjustments made to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets are reflective of all acquired intangible assets, which were recorded as part of purchase accounting. These acquired intangible assets contribute to the Company’s revenue generation. Amortization of acquired intangible assets will continue in future periods over their remaining useful lives.

We exclude acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs for the purpose of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe doing so provides additional transparency of Schwab’s ongoing operations, and is useful in both evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating comparison of results with prior and future periods.

Costs related to acquisition and integration or restructuring fluctuate based on the timing of acquisitions, integration and restructuring activities, thereby limiting comparability of results among periods, and are not representative of the costs of running the Company’s ongoing business. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of the Company’s underlying operating performance.

Return on tangible common equity

Return on tangible common equity represents annualized adjusted net income available to common stockholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill, acquired intangible assets — net, and related deferred tax liabilities.

Acquisitions typically result in the recognition of significant amounts of goodwill and acquired intangible assets. We believe return on tangible common equity may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure to facilitate assessing capital efficiency and returns relative to the composition of Schwab’s balance sheet.

Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio

Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio represents the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio as prescribed by bank regulatory guidance for the consolidated company and for CSB, adjusted to reflect the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in the ratio.

Inclusion of the impacts of AOCI in the Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio provides additional information regarding the Company’s current capital position. We believe Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure of the Company’s capital levels.

The Company also uses adjusted diluted EPS and return on tangible common equity as components of performance criteria for employee bonus and certain executive management incentive compensation arrangements. The Compensation Committee of CSC’s Board of Directors maintains discretion in evaluating performance against these criteria.

Acquisition and integration-related costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily consist of $18 million and $35 million of compensation and benefits, $12 million and $29 million of professional services, and $5 million of depreciation and amortization. Acquisition and integration-related costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily consist of $48 million and $106 million of compensation and benefits, $41 million and $74 million of professional services, $10 million and $14 million of occupancy and equipment, and $20 million and $22 million of other.

(2)

Restructuring costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 reflect a change in estimate of $3 million and $34 million in compensation and benefits, offset by $1 million and $3 million of occupancy and equipment and $12 million and $13 million of other expense for the periods. There were no restructuring costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

(3)

The income tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments are determined using an effective tax rate reflecting the exclusion of non-deductible acquisition costs and are used to present the acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and restructuring costs on an after-tax basis.
