Chairman and CEO Charles Schwab commented, “In 2006, we sharpened our focus on individual investors and independent advisors with the sale of U.S. Trust and the acquisition of The 401(k) Company. We also continued to build stronger client relationships and improve our financial performance. Total client assets rose 18% in 2006 to $1.2 trillion at year-end, while net new assets rose 33% to $87 billion in our core Schwab Investor Services and Schwab Institutional businesses. Additionally, new brokerage accounts rose 15% in 2006 to 655,000, reflecting the continued success of our “Talk to Chuck” advertising. These client metrics reflect both our emphasis on value, performance, and service and the superb efforts of all the employees on the Schwab team. Once again, we combined our client success with financial discipline, and our 2006 net income and earnings per share set new records. Our momentum is building, and I’m excited about the opportunities that lie ahead in 2007 and beyond.”
CFO Chris Dodds said, “For 2006, we set out to accelerate our revenue growth, limit our expense growth while investing in our client service capabilities, and build our margins, earnings and return on equity. We delivered on all fronts – net revenues grew 19% in 2006 versus 6% in 2005, expense growth was held to 9% over the 2005 level even as client loyalty improved and attrition declined, our pre-tax profit margin improved from 28% to 34%, and net income passed the $1 billion milestone. Our ongoing commitment to rigorous capital management resulted in net capital expenditures of just $59 million, a reduction in our long-term debt of $74 million, a doubling of our dividend, $859 million of common stock repurchases, and a return on equity of 26% for the year.”

Tax Benefit
The $205 million tax benefit recognized by Schwab in the fourth quarter of 2006 resulted from the difference between the tax and financial reporting bases of the company’s U.S. Trust stock. When calculating Schwab’s gain on the sale of U.S. Trust, the tax basis will be the basis of U.S. Trust’s prior stockholders in their shares as of the date U.S. Trust was acquired by Schwab, since the transaction qualified as a tax-free exchange. Generally accepted accounting principles call for the recognition of the tax effects of stock basis differences once a commitment is in place to sell a subsidiary and the subsidiary’s results are presented as a “discontinued operation.” The fourth quarter tax benefit is intended to equalize the tax and reporting bases in the company’s U.S. Trust stock as of year-end 2006; it is, however, an estimate based on publicly available information. The final amount of the basis difference will be determined following a survey that the company expects to complete within the next six months.
