OMAHA, Neb., April 19, 2016– TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: AMTD) has released results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company gathered approximately $14 billion in net new client assets, and reported record client trading activity.

The Company’s results for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2016 include the following:⁽¹⁾ 

• $0.38 earnings per diluted share, on net income of $205 million, up 9 percent year over year

• Net new client assets of approximately $14 billion, an annualized growth rate of 8 percent

• Record average client trades per day of approximately 509,000, an activity rate of 7.6 percent

• Record net revenues of $846 million, 56 percent of which were asset-based

• Investment product fee revenue of $88 million, up 4 percent year over year

• Pre-tax income of $330 million, or 39 percent of net revenues

• EBITDA⁽²⁾ of $387 million, or 46 percent of net revenues

• Record interest rate-sensitive assets⁽³⁾ of $112 billion, up 11 percent year over year

• Record client assets of $711 billion, up 2 percent year over year

“We continue to execute well, resulting in solid quarterly performances for each of our major revenue streams,” said Fred Tomczyk, chief executive officer. “Over what was a volatile quarter for the markets, we gathered $14 billion in net new client assets and helped our clients place a record 509,000 trades per day, on average. Our focus for the rest of fiscal 2016 will be maintaining our momentum, our CEO transition, aligning our business model with the Department of Labor Fiduciary Rule, and of course continued investments in our business.”

“Client cash balances grew again this quarter, driven by asset gathering efforts and the ongoing shift in investor sentiment. As a result, interest rate-sensitive assets increased to a record $112 billion,” said Steve Boyle, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Expenses remain in check, with operating expenses declining 1 percent from last year, and we returned $322 million in capital to our shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases. We will continue to focus on what we can control to grow our earnings power to the benefit of our clients, associates and shareholders.”

Capital Management

The Company paid $91 million in its second fiscal quarter, or $0.17 per share, in cash dividends. The Company also repurchased approximately 8 million shares of its common stock.

The Company has declared a $0.17 per share quarterly cash dividend, payable on May 17, 2016 to all holders of record of common stock as of May 3, 2016.

Note: The term "GAAP" in the following explanation refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

(1)	EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We consider EBITDA an important measure of our financial performance and of our ability to generate cash flows to service debt, fund capital expenditures and fund other corporate investing and financing activities. EBITDA is used as the denominator in the consolidated leverage ratio calculation for covenant purposes under our holding company's senior revolving credit facility. EBITDA eliminates the non-cash effect of tangible asset depreciation and amortization and intangible asset amortization. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income, net income and cash flows from operating activities.
(2)	Liquid assets available for corporate investing and financing activities is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We consider "liquid assets available for corporate investing and financing activities" to be an important measure of our liquidity. We include the excess capital of our broker-dealer subsidiaries in the calculation of liquid assets available for corporate investing and financing activities, rather than simply including broker-dealer cash and cash equivalents, because capital requirements may limit the amount of cash available for dividend from the broker-dealer subsidiaries to the parent company. Excess capital, as defined below, is generally available for dividend from the broker-dealer subsidiaries to the parent company. Liquid assets available for corporate investing and financing activities should be considered as a supplemental measure of liquidity, rather than as a substitute for cash and cash equivalents.
	We define liquid assets available for corporate investing and financing activities as the sum of (a) corporate cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, excluding an amount that is being maintained to provide liquidity for operational contingencies, including lending to our broker-dealer, futures commission merchant and forex dealer member subsidiaries under intercompany credit agreements and (b) regulatory net capital of (i) our clearing broker-dealer subsidiary in excess of 10% of aggregate debit items and (ii) our introducing broker-dealer subsidiaries in excess of a minimum operational target established by management ($50 million in the case of our primary introducing broker-dealer, TD Ameritrade, Inc.). Liquid assets available for corporate investing and financing activities is based on more conservative measures of broker-dealer net capital than regulatory requirements because we generally manage to higher levels of net capital at the broker-dealer subsidiaries than the regulatory thresholds require.
