SCHWAB REPORTS STRONG FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Solid client activity and disciplined expense management drive business momentum
SAN FRANCISCO, April 15, 2009 – The Charles Schwab Corporation announced today that its net income was $218 million for the first quarter of 2009, down 29% from the first quarter of 2008. The company’s first quarter results include a $26 million pre-tax gain relating to the repurchase of certain outstanding company debt, $14 million in pre-tax net impairment losses on certain mortgage-backed securities, and $59 million in pre-tax charges for severance and other costs relating to its previously announced expense reduction measures.
Chairman Charles Schwab said, “In an environment that has tested the confidence of every investor, we see our role in a very clear light – to do everything we can to help each of our clients find the right path forward, and to ensure that we have a stable and steady business here to serve them. Our solid first quarter results are a good reflection of the strength of that approach.”

CEO Walt Bettinger said, “Our business is about serving our valued clients – and they stayed actively engaged with us in the first quarter. Although the market environment remained challenging for investors, the latter part of the quarter did show some glimpses of improvement. In addition to bringing a total of $25 billion in net new assets to the company during the first quarter, clients opened 207,000 new brokerage accounts and active brokerage accounts reached 7.5 million at month-end March, up 4% year-over-year. Moreover, banking accounts and retirement plan participants totaled 508,000 and 1.5 million at quarter-end, up 60% and 20%, respectively, from their March 2008 levels. This strong growth in the midst of so much financial and economic uncertainty reminds us every day that a stable and client focused approach has never been more important to our clients. As we continue to expand the base of investors and savers working with Schwab, we remain committed to being worthy of the trust they place in us – not only as a healthy, enduring institution, but as a reliable ally in working towards a better financial future for every one of them.”
CFO Joe Martinetto commented, “Our balance sheet remains strong, with $4.3 billion in equity capital, a long-term debt to total capital ratio of 16%, and approximately $950 million in freely available cash. During the quarter, we took advantage of this strength and repurchased $64 million of our long-term debt, recognizing a one-time gain of $26 million pre-tax. Our net revenues for the first quarter were also affected by modest impairment losses of $14 million on some of the mortgage-backed securities collateralized by Alt-A mortgages that we own in our investment portfolios as long-term
holdings. Our portfolios included Alt-A backed securities with an amortized cost of $758 million at quarter-end, which represented just under 2% of the company’s cash and investments.”
Mr. Martinetto continued, “The company’s core revenues were in line with our expectations given the environment. The overall decline in net revenues was limited to 15% – trading revenues were up 5% year-over-year, and asset inflows and further increases in client money market fund allocations helped mitigate declines in asset management and administration fees to 18% against equity valuations that remain down 30 to 40%. With our planned expense reduction measures essentially in place by early February, we were able to absorb the related charges and still lower expenses by 5% versus the first quarter of 2008. As a result, we achieved a 32% pre-tax profit margin and a 21% return on equity.”
Mr. Martinetto concluded, “As we finish up facilities and other work relating to our recent staffing reductions, we expect to recognize approximately $40 million in additional charges for the second quarter. Overall, we believe that the infrastructure and spending plans now in place for the company are appropriate for 2009 and strike the right balance between current profitability and investing for the future in a tough environment. With the economy and financial markets still so unsettled and no catalyst for higher rates on the horizon, revenue pressures from reduced asset valuations and low rates – including the need for significant money market fund fee waivers to provide at least a minimal level of return for our clients – may persist in future quarters. Our financial priorities remain unchanged – keeping Schwab positioned to deliver healthy financial performance in the current downturn, and to show rapidly improving results in tandem with any recovery.”

(1) | The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a FASB Staff Position entitled “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” on April 9, 2009, that establishes new requirements for measuring and presenting other-than-temporary impairment charges on securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. The Company adopted the new requirements in the first quarter of 2009. Due to further deterioration of underlying collateral, the Company recorded a net impairment charge of $14 million on certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities during the first quarter of 2009. Under the new requirements, the Company is required to present the total impairment loss relating to these securities, which is based on current fair values, as well as the noncredit portion of that loss, which is the amount of impairment loss the Company does not expect to realize. Combined, these net to the impairment recognized in earnings. The noncredit related portion of the impairment is not recorded in earnings, but reflected as an unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss (a component of stockholders' equity) on the consolidated balance sheet. |
