SCHWAB REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS
Second consecutive year of record financial results reflects client focus and operating discipline
SAN FRANCISCO, January 16, 2009 – The Charles Schwab Corporation announced today that its income from continuing operations was $308 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, up 1% from the fourth quarter of 2007. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the company’s income from continuing operations was a record $1.2 billion, up 10% from the year-earlier period. The company’s fourth quarter results include $25 million in pre-tax severance charges.
Chairman Charles Schwab said, “Investors needed a trusted ally more than ever during 2008 as they faced a faltering economy, 40% declines in the broad equity indices, and disarray across much of financial services. Schwab’s financial soundness, stability, and relentless client focus have helped us stand out during this storm. We’ve been able to operate from a position of strength and direct all of our skill and energy toward helping our clients navigate the toughest environment in generations.”

CEO Walt Bettinger noted, “Our ability to continue building stronger client relationships while setting financial records during such a challenging year reaffirms our confidence in Schwab’s business model and client focus. Net new assets, while pressured by the environment, still totaled $113 billion, new brokerage accounts reached 889,000, up 10% year-over-year, total brokerage accounts rose 5% to 7.4 million, corporate retirement plan participants were up 17% to 1.4 million, and banking accounts ended the year at 447,000, up 71%. These results reflect the dedication of our employees, whose commitment to both great client service and careful expense management made it possible for our 2008 income and earnings per share from continuing operations to reach new highs. Although we face significant revenue challenges as we enter 2009, our priorities are clear – sustaining our focus on client service and relationships; continuing the investments critical to the long-term health and growth of our business; and protecting Schwab’s strength and stability.”
CFO Joe Martinetto commented, “We began 2008 with the S&P 500 index at 1,468 and the Fed Funds rate at 4.25%; we closed the year at approximately 900 and zero. In the face of this deteriorating environment, our ongoing success with clients helped full-year asset management and administration fees stay comparable to 2007, while net interest revenue and trading revenue rose by 1% and 26%, respectively. Sustained expense discipline enabled us to turn the 3% overall revenue increase into a 10% improvement in income from continuing operations and a record 39.4% pre-tax profit margin, as well as a 31% return on equity.”
“With equity valuations and short-term interest rates starting 2009 dramatically lower than a year ago and no positive catalyst currently in sight, we believe we must proceed as if the economic environment will not improve for some time,” Mr. Martinetto continued. “Accordingly, to help support our priorities while offsetting at least some of the likely revenue pressure, we are proceeding with our previously announced effort to reduce expenses significantly, with the current expectation of identifying and implementing cuts totaling 7 to 8% of our 2008 total spending. We are also mindful that the overall mortgage market is another important element of the environment, and that further deterioration in this arena could negatively impact mortgage-backed securities in our investment portfolio; in particular, those holdings backed by Alt-A collateral, a relatively small portion of the total.”
