SCHWAB REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER REVENUES UP 14% YEAR-OVER-YEAR

December net new assets exceed $11 billion, highest in 23 months

SAN FRANCISCO, January 18, 2011 – The Charles Schwab Corporation announced today that its net income was $119 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, down 27% from $164 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Prior to the inclusion of charges relating to the Schwab YieldPlus^® Fund, Schwab’s fourth quarter net income was $218 million, up 33% over the year ago period. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, the company’s net income was $454 million, down 42% from the year-earlier period. The company’s 2010 net income prior to the inclusion of charges relating to YieldPlus and other previously disclosed matters totaled $775 million.

Chairman Charles Schwab said, “I’m proud of the progress we’ve made in building a model of full-service investing and brokerage that goes beyond serving the privileged few to ensure that high-quality help and advice is available to any investor seeking to build a better financial future. We currently serve a record $1.57 trillion in client assets, which represents an 8% compound annual growth rate since 2000 – a testament to the appeal of our approach. Schwab’s share of the investable assets in the U.S. is growing and the future looks bright. We enter 2011 with an expanded range of products and services and enhanced value for our clients.”

CEO Walt Bettinger commented, “Our business momentum continues, with $11.4 billion in net new assets for December alone, and we’re demonstrating significantly improved financial performance, with fourth quarter revenues up 14% over year-earlier levels and profits up solidly after adjusting for charges. With the worst of the economic crisis behind us, our focus shifted in 2010 to increasing our investment to drive growth, while at the same time improving profitability regardless of any recovery in short-term interest rates. We nearly doubled our spending on client-related initiatives last year to $130 million, with completed initiatives including an ETF-based advice program, expanded fixed income offerings, and integrated mobile applications for brokerage and banking.”

“We believe the importance of sustained investment in our clients is reflected in the strength of our metrics,” Mr. Bettinger continued. “New brokerage account openings rose by 5% in 2010 and exceeded 750,000 for the fourth consecutive year, net new assets totaled $78.1 billion excluding significant one-time flows, down from 2009 due to the

environment, but once again exceeding the pace reported by any other firm, and total client assets were up 11% year-over- year. This continued growth in our client base – along with ongoing recovery in the equity markets – enabled us to rebound from a 19% decline in revenues during 2009 to a 1% increase in 2010, despite absorbing over $200 million in additional money fund management fee waivers. As we planned, rising revenues combined with our expense discipline enabled us to deliver improving profit margins during the year – prior to charges, our fourth quarter pre-tax profit margin was 9 percentage points higher than the first quarter trough. Our commitment to disciplined, profitable growth across all market cycles is unwavering, and we recognize that growth is only possible if we continue to invest in our clients.”

CFO Joe Martinetto added, “Our financial priorities remain straightforward – sustain a healthy balance sheet, support continued growth in our businesses, and deliver improving profitability as market headwinds abate. Our asset quality remains extremely high with limited credit-related losses. In addition, we expanded stockholders’ equity by 22% during 2010 to $6.2 billion, and we ended the year with approximately $1.1 billion in available cash and liquid investments at the parent level. Our full-year 2010 revenues and expenses – setting aside charges – were right in line with our expectations given the environment. We were also encouraged to see sequential improvement across all three of our major sources of revenue – net interest revenue, asset management and administration fees, and trading revenue – in the fourth quarter, only the second such occurrence since the end of 2007. We remain convinced that our diversified business model will enable us to deliver improving revenues and profitability as we go forward even if short-term rates remain at current levels.”
