Co-Chairman and CEO Walt Bettinger commented, “When I drafted my first letter to stockholders 15 years ago in the middle of the financial crisis, I outlined four factors that helped distinguish Schwab from other financial institutions during a very challenging time for global markets: a strong financial foundation, a client-centric strategy, a disciplined operating approach, and a diversified business model. These characteristics remain every bit as relevant to our story today. We continue to consistently manage the business in a conservative manner, with an unwavering long-term orientation. Our ongoing commitment to this consistency of mission, including our “Through Clients’ Eyes” strategy, highlights why we maintain the ability to meet the needs of individual investors and the advisors who serve them through various environments.”

“The first quarter presented clients with a mixed macroeconomic backdrop,” Mr. Bettinger noted. “While equity markets rebounded from year-end 2022 levels, investor sentiment remained bearish – especially following the onset of the banking industry turmoil in early March. Fixed income markets also reflected growing fears of an economic downturn as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield declined approximately 50 basis points from its intra-quarter peak to end March just under 3.50%. Through the various ups and downs to start the year, Schwab remained a trusted partner to investors. During the quarter, clients opened over 1 million new brokerage accounts and entrusted us with $132 billion of core net new assets – including over $53 billion in March alone. While Investor Services gathered approximately $60 billion during the period, the Advisor Services segment posted a record first quarter with over $71 billion in net flows and attracted 70 transitioning advisor teams. These near-record inflows across both our primary businesses represents an annualized organic growth rate north of 7% and helped push total client assets to $7.58 trillion at quarter-end.”

Mr. Bettinger continued, “Our top priority this quarter was to stay connected to our clients – to help them understand what is happening in the marketplace – and empower them with the tools and support to navigate the current environment. I believe our robust asset gathering speaks to our success on this front. Amidst all that was happening around us, we further advanced our key strategic initiatives of scale and efficiency, win-win monetization, and segmentation. Completing the Ameritrade integration will unlock sizeable opportunities across all three of those areas and we took a meaningful step towards achieving that goal with the completion of the first client transition group in February. The successful conversion of this initial group was made possible by the efforts of our dedicated employees and further validates our roadmap for the remaining client transition groups. During the quarter, we also announced several enhancements to Schwab Personalized Indexing™ (SPI), including new tools that expand the personalization options available to clients. We also evolved SPI’s digital experience to streamline the onboarding process and bolster real-time reporting analytics. We continue to see a tremendous opportunity in meeting the advice needs of both Schwab and legacy Ameritrade clients. As investors sought out advice amidst a more challenging environment, net flows into our Managed Investing solutions grew 26% from the prior year – totaling $8.9 billion for the quarter. Finally, we announced the acquisition of The Family Wealth Alliance which, in conjunction with our industry-leading Advisor Services capabilities, will bring industry-wide relationships, thought leadership resources, and technology to help enable success for advisors serving the needs of ultra-high net worth individuals.

“It was an honor to be ranked #1 in Investor Satisfaction with Full-Service Wealth Management Firms by J.D. Power,” Mr. Bettinger concluded. “The combination of our sustained business momentum and third-party recognition highlights the fact that our “no trade-offs” approach continues to resonate with investors. At the same time, it is a testament to the intentional evolution of the company since its inception almost 50 years ago. Over those many decades, we have continuously enhanced our business while seeking to better serve investors’ needs through the thoughtful transformation of our platform from a pioneer in the discount brokerage space to a leader in full-service wealth management. Looking ahead, we intend to continue pressing our competitive advantages as we seek to gain share by emphasizing our attractive value proposition, award-winning service experience, commitment to transparency, and role as a trusted leader in the marketplace.”

CFO Peter Crawford stated, “Our first quarter revenue picture reflected the company’s sustained business momentum and the benefits of rising interest rates, partially offset by clients’ asset allocation decisions. Total revenue was up 10% year-over-year and exceeded $5 billion for the fourth consecutive quarter. While bank deposits shrank by 11% versus the prior year-end as clients realigned their allocations across our expansive selection of transaction and investment cash solutions, we observed a decline in the average daily pace of bank sweep movements from January to March – even when allowing for a temporary spike in activity at the onset of the banking system turmoil. Concurrently, we benefited from higher asset yields resulting from the Federal Reserve’s pronounced tightening program. This helped expand net interest margin by 81 basis points from the first quarter of 2022 – growing net interest revenue by 27% to $2.8 billion. Additionally, asset management and administration fees increased slightly, while trading revenue declined, and bank deposit account revenue was down due in part to a $97 million one-time breakage fee relating to ending our arrangements with certain third-party banks ahead of the initial Ameritrade client transition group.”

Mr. Crawford proceeded, “GAAP expenses rose 6% from a year ago to $3.0 billion, including $98 million in acquisition and integration-related costs and $135 million in amortization of acquired intangibles. Exclusive of these items, adjusted total expenses (1) increased 7% versus the first quarter of 2022. Our combination of top-line growth, coupled with disciplined expense management, yielded a pre-tax margin of 41.2%45.8% adjusted (1) – levels achieved by few other financial services firms.”

“Maintaining the capital and liquidity required to support Schwab’s long-term growth remains our primary balance sheet objective,” Mr. Crawford concluded. “We increased our quarterly common dividend by 14% to $.25 per share and returned capital via common and preferred stock repurchases. Even with the accelerated capital return during the first two months of the quarter, our Tier 1 Leverage Ratio finished at 7.1%. In light of recent events within the U.S. banking sector, and the resulting regulatory uncertainty, we have decided to pause our active buyback program. That being said, opportunistic capital return is still an important component of our ‘through the cycle’ financial formula. Ultimately, we believe the current headwinds will prove transitory and we remain well positioned to deliver long-term value to our stockholders.”

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 first 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.

Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure

Definition

Usefulness to Investors and Uses by Management

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

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, 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 and amortization of acquired intangible assets 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.

 

Acquisition and integration-related costs fluctuate based on the timing of acquisitions and integration 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.

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.
