SCHWAB REPORTS FIRST QUARTER NET INCOME UP 58% YEAR-OVER-YEAR

Revenues Rise 15% From a Year Ago

Client Assets Reach a Record $2.31 Trillion

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15, 2014 – The Charles Schwab Corporation announced today that its net income for the first quarter of 2014 was $326 million, up 2% from $319 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, and up 58% from $206 million for the first quarter of 2013.

CEO Walt Bettinger said, “Our contemporary full-service investing model continued to resonate with investors during the first quarter. We gathered $34.2 billion of net new assets during the quarter, a 6% annualized organic growth rate, and 258,000 new brokerage accounts, up 6% year-over-year. Clients have now entrusted us with $2.31 trillion of assets – a record high. In addition, client trading activity rose in early 2014, as we executed an average of over 550,000 total trades a day during the first quarter, the highest quarterly volume in our history. More significantly, however, our work to build awareness of our professional advice capabilities continued during the quarter, and we ended March with approximately half of all client assets receiving some form of ongoing advisory service, with $974 billion under the guidance of an independent advisor and $159 billion enrolled in one of our retail advisory solutions, up 16% and 17%, respectively, over the first quarter of 2013. We also saw a steady pace of planning conversations, as an increasing proportion of clients engage with investing as a long-term process, not a moment in time. At quarter-end we were serving 9.2 million active brokerage accounts and 933,000 banking accounts, up 4% and 5%, respectively, from year-earlier levels.”

“Schwab’s unique business model is able to produce solid operating results while enabling clients to invest as they choose,” Mr. Bettinger continued. “Our focus on providing outstanding service and a wide range of innovative products at a great value helps us to both build our client base and diversify our revenue sources. As a result, our company can succeed by helping clients pursue their financial goals in whichever way is best for them, whether they’re investing in individual equities, utilizing our commission-free OneSource platforms or enrolling in an advisory solution. Higher levels of client trading activity, balances in fee-based products and services, and cash held at Schwab as part of investing relationships all contributed to the 15% year-over-year increase in revenue we achieved for the first quarter.”

Mr. Bettinger noted, “We continued to innovate on behalf of investors during the quarter by rolling out the ETF version of our Schwab Index Advantage 401(k) offering, providing plan sponsors with a choice of low-cost index-based mutual funds and ETFs to offer their participants, along with tailored guidance, to help them achieve better outcomes with their retirement investments. Overall, we have strong momentum with clients across our businesses, we are well positioned to attract and serve a growing share of investable wealth in the U.S., and we remain poised to benefit from the eventual normalization of interest rates as the economy continues to recover.”

CFO Joe Martinetto commented, “The company continued to translate strong business growth into demonstrated earnings power in early 2014. The interest rate picture remained a mixed bag – long-term interest rates ended the first quarter above year-ago levels even after recent declines, yet short-term rates remained lower than the first quarter of 2013. In addition, the S&P 500 average rose by about 4% between the fourth and first quarters, and client trading volumes picked up significantly on both a sequential and year-over-year basis. The net effect of these factors is that we are operating in an environment that no longer masks our business progress. We achieved double-digit growth in all three major revenue categories for the first quarter – asset management and administration fees and trading revenue both increased by 11% and net interest revenue rose 18% to a record $553 million. Our commitment to careful expense management helped keep spending roughly flat year-over-year, expanding our operating leverage significantly, as planned, while continuing substantial investments in our clients and our brand. That discipline combined with the company’s solid top-line performance to achieve a pre-tax profit margin of over 35%. With net income rising by nearly 60%, our strong financial performance supports continued growth in our capital base and allows us the resources and flexibility to pursue the opportunities ahead.”
