Schwab provides financial services to individuals and institutional clients through two segments – Investor Services and Advisor Services. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage, investment advisory, and banking and trust services to individual investors, and retirement plan services, as well as other corporate brokerage services, to businesses and their employees. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, banking and trust, and support services, as well as retirement business services, to independent registered investment advisors (RIAs), independent retirement advisors, and recordkeepers.
Schwab was founded on the belief that all Americans deserve access to a better investing experience. Although much has changed in the intervening years, our purpose remains clear – to champion every client’s goals with passion and integrity. Guided by this purpose and our vision of creating the most trusted leader in investment services, management has adopted a strategy described as “Through Clients’ Eyes.”
This strategy emphasizes placing clients’ perspectives, needs, and desires at the forefront. Because investing plays a fundamental role in building financial security, we strive to deliver a better investing experience for our clients – individual investors and the people and institutions who serve them – by disrupting longstanding industry practices on their behalf and providing superior service. We also aim to offer a broad range of products and solutions to meet client needs with a focus on transparency, value, and trust. In addition, management works to couple Schwab’s scale and resources with ongoing expense discipline to keep costs low and ensure that products and solutions are affordable as well as responsive to client needs. In combination, these are the key elements of our “no trade-offs” approach to serving investors. We believe that following this strategy is the best way to maximize our market valuation and stockholder returns over time.
Management estimates that investable wealth in the United States (U.S.) (consisting of assets in defined contribution, retail wealth management and brokerage, and registered investment advisor channels, along with bank deposits) currently exceeds $65 trillion, which means the Company’s $9.12 trillion in client assets leaves substantial opportunity for growth. Our strategy is based on the principle that developing trusted relationships will translate into more assets from both new and existing clients, ultimately driving more revenue, and along with expense discipline and thoughtful capital management, will generate earnings growth and build long-term stockholder value.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (2023 Form 10-K).

(1) The first quarter of 2024 and 2023 include net outflows of $7.4 billion and inflows of $19.0 billion, respectively, from off-platform certificates of deposit (CDs) issued by CSB.
(2) Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, client cash as a percentage of client assets excludes brokered CDs issued by CSB. The prior period has been recast to reflect this change.
(3) In the first quarter of 2024, adjustments made to GAAP financial measures also include restructuring costs. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results.
(4) Adjusted total expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure adjusting total expenses excluding interest. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
Further improvements in the macroeconomic environment helped bolster investor sentiment and engagement in the first quarter of 2024. Inflation remained at moderate though persistent levels during the quarter, leading to shifting market expectations around the pace and extent of potential Federal Reserve interest rate reductions. Equity markets had a strong start to the year, with the S&P 500® rising 10% in the first quarter of 2024.
Schwab’s organic asset gathering and equity market gains helped total client assets reach $9.12 trillion as of quarter-end, up 20% from March 31, 2023, as clients entrusted us with core net new assets of $95.6 billion in the first quarter of 2024. As we have experienced over the course of the Ameritrade client account conversions, net new assets in the first quarter of 2024 reflected expected asset attrition from the Ameritrade integration, though the amount of attrition continued to be below amounts anticipated when we announced the acquisition in late 2019. Clients’ daily average trades (DATs) were 6.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, up slightly from the first quarter of the prior year. Clients opened 1.1 million new brokerage accounts in the first quarter of 2024, helping active brokerage accounts rise 3% year-over-year to reach 35.3 million at quarter-end.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
Schwab’s financial performance in the first quarter of 2024 reflected the benefits of a supportive macroeconomic backdrop, increased client engagement, and solid organic growth. The Company’s financial results were down relative to the first quarter of 2023, though overall performance improved sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2023 driven by lower interest expense due to reduced supplemental funding, rising equity markets and client engagement, and our late-2023 cost reduction efforts. Net income totaled $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2024, down 15% from the first quarter of 2023 and up 30% from the fourth quarter of 2023. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $.68 in the first quarter of 2024, down 18% from the prior-year first quarter and up 33% from the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted diluted EPS (1) was $.74 in the first quarter of 2024, down 20% from the first quarter of 2023 and up 9% from the fourth quarter of 2023.
Total net revenues decreased 7% year-over-year to $4.7 billion during the first quarter of 2024. Net interest revenue was $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2024, down 19% from the prior year’s first quarter due primarily to greater use of supplemental funding and lower average interest-earning assets, partially offset by higher rates on interest-earning assets. Asset management and administration fees totaled $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2024, rising 21% from the first quarter of 2023 primarily as a result of growth in money market funds, equity market gains, and growth in advice solutions. Trading revenue declined 8% year-over-year to $817 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in order flow revenue, reflecting narrower spreads on options and lower equity volume. Bank deposit account fee revenue was $183 million in the first quarter of 2024, up 21% year-over-year due primarily to $97 million of one-time breakage fees incurred when we ended our arrangements with certain third-party banks in the first quarter of 2023. BDA balances totaled $90.3 billion at March 31, 2024, down 7% from year-end 2023, reflecting client cash allocation decisions.
Total expenses excluding interest were $2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2024, down 2% from the first quarter of 2023, reflecting the benefits of our cost reduction restructuring efforts undertaken in late 2023, which drove year-over-year decreases in compensation and benefits and occupancy and equipment. Partially offsetting these reductions were growth in depreciation and amortization driven by capital expenditures to support the Ameritrade integration and growth of the business, and higher regulatory fees and assessments, which included an incremental Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment of $25 million (see Current Regulatory and Other Developments). Adjusted total expenses (1) were $2.8 billion, up 1% from the first quarter of 2023 reflecting the above items and lower acquisition and integration-related costs in the first quarter of 2024. Acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs totaled $140 million in the first quarter of 2024, down 40% from the first quarter of 2023.
Return on average common stockholders’ equity was 15% in the first quarter of 2024, down from 23% in the first quarter of 2023. Return on tangible common equity (1) (ROTCE) was 39% in the first quarter of 2024, down from 83% in the first quarter of 2023. These decreases were due primarily to higher average stockholders’ equity and lower year-over-year net income. Average stockholders’ equity was higher in the first quarter of 2024 due to higher average retained earnings due to full-year 2023 and first-quarter 2024 net income, as well as higher average AOCI. The increase in average AOCI was driven by lower unrealized losses on our available for sale (AFS) investment securities portfolio and securities transferred in 2022 from AFS to held to maturity (HTM) (see Item 1 – Note 15).
The Company continued its diligent approach to balance sheet management, seeking to prioritize flexibility. During the first quarter of 2024, total balance sheet assets decreased 5% from year-end 2023 to $468.8 billion. This decrease was driven primarily by lower cash balances. As the pace and amount of client cash realignment continued to decrease, the Company reduced the total outstanding balance of supplemental funding, which includes brokered CDs, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings, and borrowings under repurchase agreements, by $8.8 billion, or 11%, during the first quarter of 2024. In addition, the Company repaid $3.3 billion in maturing long-term debt during the first quarter of 2024. Supported by net income and a smaller balance sheet, our consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio increased to 8.8% as of March 31, 2024.
(1) Adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted total expenses, and return on tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results.
Integration of Ameritrade
Effective October 6, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation, now Ameritrade Holding LLC (Ameritrade Holding), and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Ameritrade”). The Company has made significant progress in its integration of Ameritrade. We’ve transitioned approximately $1.6 trillion in client assets across more than 15 million client accounts, including 7,000 RIAs, from Ameritrade to the Schwab platform across four transition groups. In connection with these transitions, we have experienced some related attrition of client assets from retail
THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
accounts and RIAs, which have been below our initial estimates when we announced the acquisition. The Company expects to complete the remaining client transitions from Ameritrade to Schwab in a final transition group in May 2024.
We continue to expect total acquisition and integration-related costs and capital expenditures will be between $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion. The Company’s estimates of the nature, amounts, and timing of recognition of acquisition and integration-related costs remain subject to change based on certain factors, including the duration and complexity of the remaining integration process and the continued uncertainty of the economic environment. More specifically, factors that could cause variability in our expected acquisition and integration-related costs as we prepare for the last transition group and remaining integration work include the level of employee attrition, the complexity to wind-down the operations of the Ameritrade broker-dealers and related technology, and real estate-related exit cost variability.
Acquisition and integration-related costs, which are inclusive of related exit costs, totaled $38 million and $98 million for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Over the course of the integration, we expect to realize annualized cost synergies of between $1.8 billion and $2.0 billion, and, through March 31, 2024, we have achieved over 80% of this amount on an annualized run-rate basis. The Company expects to realize the remaining estimated cost synergies by the end of 2024, with anticipated full year synergy realization beginning in 2025. Estimated timing and amounts of synergy realization are subject to change as we progress in the integration. Refer to Part II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Item 7) – Overview in our 2023 Form 10-K, Results of Operations – Total Expenses Excluding Interest, Non-GAAP Financial Measures, and Item 1 – Note 10 for additional information regarding our integration of Ameritrade.
Other
In addition to cost synergies directly related to the integration of Ameritrade, the Company took incremental actions in 2023 to streamline its operations to prepare for post-integration, including through position eliminations and decreasing its real estate footprint. Through these actions, the Company has realized approximately $500 million of incremental run-rate cost savings in addition to integration synergies. In order to achieve these cost savings, the Company expects to incur total exit and related costs, primarily related to employee compensation and benefits and facility exit costs, of approximately $500 million, substantially all of which have been recognized as of March 31, 2024. The Company anticipates the remaining costs, primarily related to real estate, will be incurred during 2024. Refer to Results of Operations – Total Expenses Excluding Interest and Item 1 – Note 10 for additional information.
Current Regulatory and Other Developments
In April 2024, the U.S. Department of Labor adopted a final rule to significantly broaden the definition of “fiduciary” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Among other requirements, the rule subjects broker-dealers who provide non-discretionary investment advice to retirement plans and accounts to a “best interest” standard. The rule generally takes effect on September 23, 2024 with a one-year transition period after the effective date for certain provisions. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts and the related implementation and operational issues of the final rule.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted amendments to Rule 605 of Regulation National Market System (NMS) requiring enhanced disclosures of order execution quality for large broker-dealers that handle retail orders. We do not expect the new rule to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations. Three related equity market structure rule proposals released in December 2022 by the SEC remain pending.
In November 2023, the FDIC approved a final special assessment to recover losses incurred by the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) to protect uninsured depositors due to the March 2023 closures of two banks, that was subject to potential extension and a potential one-time final special assessment for any shortfall in the DIF. The pre-tax impact of the final rule’s initial assessment to the Company was $172 million, which is tax deductible and was recognized in earnings in the fourth quarter of 2023. The special assessment will be paid over eight quarters which began in the first quarter of 2024. In late February 2024, the FDIC notified banks, including the Company’s banking subsidiaries, that the estimated assessed losses to the DIF increased. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2024, Schwab recognized a pre-tax charge of $25 million for its estimate of this incremental special assessment, which is tax deductible. This amount remains subject to further adjustment; the FDIC has indicated it will provide any updates to the estimated special assessment applicable to each bank as part of the FDIC’s June 2024 invoices.

•The U.S. federal banking agencies’ July 2023 notice of proposed rulemaking with amendments to the regulatory capital rules, which, among other things, would require us to include AOCI in regulatory capital and to calculate our risk-weighted assets using a revised risk-based approach, a component of which is based on operational risk; and
•The SEC’s November 2022 proposed rule that would require substantial changes to the liquidity risk management programs for open-end mutual funds other than money market funds and require them to implement “swing pricing” and impose a “hard close” on the acceptance of purchase and redemption orders.

Net Interest Revenue
Revenue on interest-earning assets is affected by various factors, such as the composition of assets, prevailing interest rates and spreads at the time of origination or purchase, changes in interest rates on cash and cash equivalents, floating-rate securities and loans, and changes in prepayment levels for mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities and loans. Schwab establishes the rates paid on client-related liabilities, and management expects that it will generally adjust the rates paid on these liabilities at some fraction of any movement in short-term rates. Interest expense on long-term debt, FHLB borrowings, other short-term borrowings, and other funding sources is impacted by market interest rates at the time of borrowing and changes in interest rates on floating-rate liabilities. See also Risk Management – Interest Rate Risk Simulations.
In response to continued elevated inflation, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target overnight rate four times in the first three quarters of 2023 for a total of 100 basis points before holding rates unchanged since July 2023. Short-term rates

remained consistent through the first quarter of 2024, as the Federal Reserve maintained the upper bound of the target overnight rate at 5.50%.
Schwab’s average interest-earning assets in the first quarter of 2024 were lower compared with the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to clients’ reallocation of cash from sweep products to higher-yielding investment solutions throughout 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, which resulted primarily from increases to the federal funds overnight rate. These changes in client cash allocations reduced average balances of bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients. To support this client cash allocation activity, the Company has been utilizing supplemental funding, including drawing upon FHLB secured lending facilities, engaging with external financial institutions in repurchase agreements, and issuing brokered CDs. The average pace of client cash allocation out of sweep products into higher-yielding investment solutions decreased significantly beginning in the second half of 2023, and continued to decrease in the first quarter of 2024.

Net interest revenue decreased $537 million, or 19%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily due to utilization of higher cost supplemental funding sources to support client cash allocations in the rising rate environment, and lower average interest-earning assets, which more than offset the benefits of higher average yields on interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2024 were lower by 13% compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower bank deposits as a result of changes in client cash allocations due to higher market interest rates and a smaller investment securities portfolio, partially offset by greater margin loan balances.
Net interest margin decreased to 2.02% in the first quarter of 2024 from 2.19% in the same period in 2023, as the higher rates paid across interest-bearing funding sources more than offset the improved yields on interest-earning assets.
The Company’s higher average balances in the first quarter of 2024 relative to the same period in 2023 of FHLB borrowings, repurchase agreements, and brokered CDs resulted in higher funding costs. The Company prioritizes repayment of the outstanding balances of its supplemental funding sources, and during the first quarter of 2024, the total outstanding balance

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
decreased by $8.8 billion, which helped support a 13-basis-point improvement in net interest margin for the first quarter of 2024 compared with the fourth quarter of 2023. Our use and the financial impacts of such supplemental funding is dependent on several factors, including the volume and pace of clients’ cash allocation activity, which is driven primarily by changes in market interest rates, as well as asset gathering. While client cash realignment activity has continued to decline from peak levels, uncertainty remains, including in regard to the path of market interest rates and client behavior, which will significantly impact our utilization of supplemental funding sources. The impacts to net interest revenue of using supplemental funding sources also depend on the type of funding source used and levels of interest rates. The Company currently expects its outstanding balances of supplemental funding sources to decrease over time. Certain amounts outstanding at March 31, 2024 will require rollover into new borrowings, the amount and costs of which will depend on the above noted factors. See also Risk Management – Liquidity Risk, Item 1 – Note 7 Bank Deposits, and Item 1 – Note 8 Borrowings for additional information on these and other funding sources.

Asset management and administration fees increased by $230 million, or 21%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily a result of higher balances in Schwab money market funds as clients shifted their cash allocations to higher-yielding investment solutions. The increase was also due to growth in balances in Mutual Fund OneSource® and fee-based advice solutions, as a result of strong equity markets and, for advice solutions, net inflows of client assets.
The following table presents a roll forward of client assets for the Schwab money market funds, Schwab equity and bond funds, ETFs, and CTFs, and Mutual Fund OneSource® and other NTF funds. These funds generated 48% and 40% of the asset management and administration fees earned in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively:

Trading revenue decreased $75 million, or 8%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This change is primarily due to lower options order flow revenue reflecting narrower quoted spreads in the options market, and lower equities order flow revenue reflecting lower equity trading volume overall. Additionally, commissions decreased as a result of changes in the mix of client trading activity and fewer trading days.
Bank Deposit Account Fees
The Company earns bank deposit account fee revenue from TD Bank USA, National Association and TD Bank, National Association (together, the TD Depository Institutions). These fees are affected by changes in interest rates and the composition of balances designated as fixed- and floating-rate obligation amounts.
In accordance with the Second Amended and Restated Insured Deposit Account Agreement (2023 IDA agreement) executed on May 4, 2023, cash held in eligible brokerage client accounts is swept off-balance sheet to deposit accounts at the TD Depository Institutions. Schwab provides recordkeeping and support services to the TD Depository Institutions with respect to the deposit accounts for which Schwab receives an aggregate monthly fee. Under the 2023 IDA agreement, the service fee on client cash deposits held at the TD Depository Institutions is 15 basis points. See Item 1 – Note 9 for additional discussion of the 2023 IDA agreement.

Fixed-rate balances | 88 | % | | 92 | % | | | | | | | |
Floating-rate balances | 12 | % | | 8 | % | | | | | | | |
Bank deposit account fees increased $32 million, or 21%, in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to $97 million of breakage fees incurred that resulted in lower bank deposit account fee revenue in the first quarter of 2023. In addition, the average amount of floating-rate BDA balances increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023, which contributed to an increase in average net yield. These factors were partially offset by a decrease in average BDA balances in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to client cash allocation decisions in response to higher short-term market interest rates. The percentages of BDA balances designated as fixed-rate and floating-rate obligation amounts as of March 31, 2024 were 88% and 12%, respectively.
Other Revenue
Other revenue includes exchange processing fees, certain service fees, other gains and losses from the sale of assets, and the provision for credit losses on bank loans.
Other revenue decreased $26 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower exchange processing fees and certain lower service fees, partially offset by lower provision for credit losses on bank loans. Exchange processing fees decreased primarily due to a decrease in the SEC fee rate which became effective in the first quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses on bank loans was lower in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, as during the first quarter of 2024, loan loss factors decreased while the total balance of first lien residential real estate mortgage loans (First Mortgages) remained consistent with year-end 2023.
Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the SEC announced that effective May 22, 2024, it would increase its fee rates applicable to most securities transactions from the rate in effect since late February 2023. This change will result in higher exchange processing fees per security transaction in other revenue and a corresponding increase in other expense, resulting in no impact to net income.

Expenses excluding interest decreased by $64 million, or 2%, in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Adjusted total expenses, which excludes acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and, beginning in the third quarter of 2023, restructuring costs, increased 1% in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results. The Company began incurring restructuring costs in the third quarter of 2023 in connection with actions to streamline its operations to prepare for post-integration of Ameritrade (see below and Overview – Other for additional information).
Total compensation and benefits expense decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower headcount as a result of position eliminations completed in the second half of 2023 as part of restructuring, partially offset by higher incentive compensation and annual merit increases. Compensation and benefits included acquisition and integration-related costs of $17 million and $58 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Compensation and benefits also included a $31 million benefit in the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to a change in estimate in restructuring costs.
Professional services expense decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower utilization of professional services as we approach the completion of the Ameritrade integration and client account transitions. Professional services included acquisition and integration-related costs of $17 million and $33 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Occupancy and equipment expense decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower technology equipment and software costs, as well as lower occupancy costs as a result of facility closures in 2023 related to restructuring and the Ameritrade integration. Occupancy and equipment included restructuring costs of $2 million in the first quarter of 2024 and acquisition and integration-related costs of $4 million in the first quarter of 2023.
Advertising and market development expense in the first quarter of 2024 remained consistent with the same period in 2023.
Communications expense decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of certain lower exchange quotation services expenses.

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of higher amortization of purchased and internally developed software, driven by capital expenditures in 2023 and the first three months of 2024 to support the Ameritrade integration and enhance our technological infrastructure to support growth of the business.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, as certain assets from the Ameritrade acquisition were fully amortized during 2023.
Regulatory fees and assessments increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of a $25 million incremental FDIC special assessment and higher FDIC deposit insurance assessments, reflecting greater use of brokered CDs, partially offset by a lower assessment base. See Current Regulatory and Other Developments for discussion of the FDIC special assessment.
Other expense increased slightly in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher exchange processing fees, partially offset by lower other clearing costs. Exchange processing fees increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 as a result of higher trading volumes. Other expense included restructuring costs of $1 million in the first quarter of 2024. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the SEC announced that effective May 22, 2024, it would increase its fee rates applicable to most securities transactions from the rate in effect since late February 2023. This change will result in higher exchange processing fees per security transaction in other expense and a corresponding increase in other revenue, resulting in no impact to net income.
Capital expenditures were $122 million and $187 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Capital expenditures decreased for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower purchased and internally developed software as we approach the completion of the Ameritrade integration and client account transitions. We continue to anticipate capital expenditures for full-year 2024 will be approximately 3-5% of total net revenues.
Taxes on Income
Taxes on income were $436 million and $507 million for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 24.2% and 24.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily related to the release of tax reserves in the first quarter of 2023 due to the resolution of certain state tax matters and a decrease in equity compensation benefit in the first quarter of 2024. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in state tax expense and the recognition of certain tax credits.

Segment Net Revenues
Investor Services total net revenues decreased by 5% in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, and Advisor Services total net revenues decreased by 15% in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Net interest revenue decreased for both segments due to higher cost funding sources and lower average interest-earning asset balances, as described above. Trading revenue decreased for both segments, primarily due to lower payment for order flow and, for Investor Services, lower commissions, as described above. Other revenue decreased for both segments, primarily due to lower exchange processing fees and certain lower service fees, partially offset by lower provision for credit losses on bank loans. These decreases were partially offset by higher asset management and administration fees in both segments, primarily as a result of higher balances in money market funds, and Mutual Fund OneSource® and, additionally for Investor Services, fee-based advice solutions. Bank deposit account fees increased for Investor Services and decreased for Advisor Services. Both segments were impacted by breakage fees incurred in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by lower average BDA balances in the first quarter of 2024.
Segment Expenses Excluding Interest
Investor Services total expenses excluding interest increased by 1% in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, while Advisor Services total expenses excluding interest decreased by 12% in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Both segments had decreases in compensation and benefits expense primarily due to lower headcount as a result of position eliminations in 2023, partially offset by higher incentive compensation and annual merit increases. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased in both segments, primarily due to lower technology equipment and software costs and lower occupancy costs due to facility closures in 2023 related to restructuring and the Ameritrade integration. Other expense decreased for Advisor Services and increased for Investor Services, primarily due to decreases in exchange processing fees and other clearing costs for Advisor Services and increases in similar fees and costs for Investor Services. Additionally, regulatory fees and assessments increased in both segments, primarily due to higher FDIC assessments, as described above. For Investor Services, depreciation and amortization expense also increased, primarily due to higher amortization of purchased and internally developed software, driven by capital expenditures in 2023 and the first three months of 2024 to enhance our technological infrastructure to support growth of the business.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Schwab’s business activities expose it to a variety of risks, including operational, compliance, credit, market, and liquidity risks. The Company has a comprehensive risk management program to identify and manage these risks and their associated potential for financial and reputational impact.
For a discussion of our risk management programs, see Part II – Item 7 – Risk Management in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Market Risk
Market risk is the potential for changes in earnings or the value of financial instruments held by Schwab as a result of fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, or market conditions. Schwab is exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates within our interest-earning assets relative to changes in the costs of funding sources that finance these assets.
To manage interest rate risk, we have established policies and procedures, which include setting limits on net interest revenue risk and economic value of equity (EVE) risk. To remain within these limits, we manage the maturity, repricing, and cash flow characteristics of the investment portfolios. Management monitors established guidelines to stay within the Company’s risk appetite. In 2023, the Company began to utilize interest rate swap derivative instruments to assist with managing interest rate risk, the effects of which are incorporated into the Company’s net interest revenue and EVE analyses. For further information on our interest rate risk management strategies utilizing interest rate swaps, see Item 1 – Note 11.
Net Interest Revenue Simulation
For our net interest revenue sensitivity analysis, we use net interest revenue simulation modeling techniques to evaluate and manage the effect of changing interest rates. The simulations include all balance sheet interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, and include derivative instruments. Key assumptions include the projection of interest rate scenarios with rate floors, rates and balances of non-maturity client cash held on the balance sheet, prepayment speeds of mortgage-related investments, repricing of financial instruments, and reinvestment of matured or paid-down securities and loans. We use independent third-
THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
party models to simulate net interest revenue sensitivity and related analyses. Fixed income analytical vendors provide term structure models, prepayment speed models for mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans, and cash flow projections based on interest income, contractual maturities, and prepayments. Consistent with our policies related to the management of interest rate risk, the Company’s net interest revenue sensitivity analysis primarily involves gradual parallel increases/decreases in interest rates over a twelve-month period, though we also regularly simulate the effects of non-parallel shifts and instantaneous shifts of interest rates on net interest revenue.
Net interest revenue is affected by various factors, such as the distribution and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the spread between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which may reprice at different times or by different amounts, and the spread between short- and long-term interest rates. Interest-earning assets include investment securities, margin loans, bank loans, and cash and cash equivalents. These assets are sensitive to changes in interest rates and changes in prepayment levels that tend to increase in a declining rate environment and decrease in a rising rate environment. Because we establish the rates paid on certain brokerage client cash balances and bank deposits and the rates charged on certain margin and bank loans, and control the composition of our investment securities, we have some ability to manage our net interest spread, depending on competitive factors and market conditions. When we have liquidity needs that exceed our primary sources of funding, the Company has needed to utilize higher-cost funding sources, which can reduce net interest margin and net interest revenue.
Higher prevailing short-term interest rates generally improve yields on shorter duration interest-earning assets. During periods of rapidly rising interest rates, clients tend to reallocate cash out of sweep products into higher-yielding, off-balance sheet, fixed income investments and money market funds within Schwab’s product offerings. This can result in lower interest-earning assets and/or may require supplemental funding with higher funding costs, which therefore tend to constrain net interest revenue when interest rates are moving rapidly higher. A decline in short-term interest rates could negatively impact the yield on the Company’s investment and loan portfolios to a greater degree than any offsetting reduction in interest expense from funding sources, compressing net interest margin.
Net interest revenue sensitivity analysis assumes the asset and liability structure of the consolidated balance sheet would not be changed as a result of the simulated changes in interest rates. While this approach is useful to isolate the impact of changes in interest rates on a statically-sized asset and liability structure, it does not capture changes to client cash allocations. We conduct simulations on EVE to capture the impact of client cash allocation changes on our balance sheet. As we actively manage the consolidated balance sheet and interest rate exposure, we have taken and would typically seek to take steps to manage additional interest rate exposure that could result from changes in the interest rate environment.
The following table presents simulated changes to net interest revenue over the next 12 months beginning March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 of a gradual increase or decrease in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates at the end of each reporting period:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Increase of 200 basis points | 10.0 | % | | 10.8 | % |
Increase of 100 basis points | 5.3 | % | | 5.8 | % |
Increase of 50 basis points | 2.9 | % | | 3.1 | % |
Decrease of 50 basis points | 0.5 | % | | 0.4 | % |
Decrease of 100 basis points | 0.0 | % | | (0.2) | % |
Decrease of 200 basis points | (3.5) | % | | (4.2) | % |
The Company’s simulated incremental increases and decreases in market interest rates had a smaller impact on net interest revenue as of March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. This is primarily due to lower cash balances held at March 31, 2024, partially offset by lower interest-bearing deposits, which reduces interest expense in a higher rate environment and reduces interest expense savings in a lower rate environment.
Effective Duration
Effective duration measures price sensitivity relative to a change in prevailing interest rates, taking account of amortizing cash flows and prepayment optionality for mortgage-related securities and loans. Duration is measured in years and commonly interpreted as the average timing of principal and interest cash flows. We seek to manage the Company’s asset duration in relation to management’s estimate of the Company’s liability duration. The Company’s liability duration is impacted by the
THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
composition of funding sources, and typically decreases in periods of rising market interest rates and increases in periods of declining market interest rates.
The following table presents the Company’s estimated effective durations, which reflects anticipated future payments, by category:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 | | March 31, 2023 |
| In years |
Estimated effective duration, exclusive of derivatives: | | | |
Consolidated total assets | 2.5 | | 2.6 |
AFS investment securities portfolio | 2.4 | | 2.4 |
AFS and HTM investment securities portfolio | 3.9 | | 4.0 |
Estimated effective duration, inclusive of derivatives (1): | | | |
Consolidated total assets | 2.4 | | 2.6 |
AFS investment securities portfolio | 2.1 | | 2.3 |
AFS and HTM investment securities portfolio | 3.8 | | 3.9 |
(1) See Note 11 for additional discussion on the Company’s derivatives.
AFS and HTM securities comprised approximately 55% and 58% of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The estimated effective duration of the remaining balance sheet assets in aggregate was less than one year as of both March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Economic Value of Equity Simulation
Management also uses EVE simulations to measure interest rate risk. EVE sensitivity measures the long-term impact of interest rate changes on the net present value of assets and liabilities, and includes the impact of derivative instruments. While EVE does not have a direct accounting relationship, the measure aims to capture a theoretical value of assets and liabilities under a variety of interest rate environments. EVE is calculated by subjecting the balance sheet to hypothetical instantaneous shifts in the level of interest rates. This analysis is highly dependent upon asset and liability assumptions based on historical behaviors. Key assumptions in our EVE calculation include projection of interest rate scenarios with rate floors, prepayment speeds of mortgage-related investments, term structure models of interest rates, behavior of non-maturity client cash held on the balance sheet, and pricing assumptions. We use both proprietary and independent third-party models to simulate EVE sensitivity and related analyses. We develop and maintain client credits and deposits run-off models internally based on historical experience and prevailing client cash realignment behaviors. We rely on third-party models for term structure modeling and prepayment speed modeling for mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans.
As interest rates have risen in the Federal Reserve’s tightening cycle, EVE sensitivity has generally trended higher due to a shortening of liability duration. While the Company’s asset duration remained largely stable during the period of rising interest rates, liability duration shortened significantly and is now shorter than asset duration.
Bank Deposit Account Fees Simulation
Consistent with the presentation on the consolidated statement of income, the sensitivity of bank deposit account fee revenue to interest rate changes is assessed separately from the net interest revenue simulation described above. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, simulated changes in bank deposit account fee revenue from gradual changes in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates, under the interest rate scenarios described above for net interest revenue, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s total net revenues. Our net interest revenue, EVE, and bank deposit account fee revenue simulations reflect the assumption of non-negative investment yields.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the potential that Schwab will be unable to sell assets or meet cash flow obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses.
Due to its role as a source of financial strength, CSC’s liquidity needs are primarily driven by the liquidity and capital needs of: CS&Co, TD Ameritrade, Inc., and TDAC, our principal broker-dealer subsidiaries; the capital needs of the banking subsidiaries; principal and interest due on corporate debt, and dividend payments on CSC’s preferred and common stock. The
THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
liquidity needs of our broker-dealer subsidiaries are primarily driven by client activity including trading and margin lending activities and capital expenditures. The capital needs of the banking subsidiaries are primarily driven by client deposit levels and other borrowings. We have established liquidity policies to support the successful execution of business strategies, while ensuring ongoing and sufficient liquidity to meet operational needs and satisfy applicable regulatory requirements under both normal and stressed conditions. We seek to maintain client confidence in the balance sheet and the safety of client assets by maintaining liquidity and diversity of funding sources to allow the Company to meet its obligations. To this end, we have established limits and contingency funding plans to support liquidity levels during both business as usual and stressed conditions.
We employ a variety of metrics to monitor and manage liquidity. We conduct regular liquidity stress testing to develop a view of liquidity risk exposures and to ensure our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity during market-related or company-specific liquidity stress events. Liquidity sources are also tested periodically and results are reported to the Financial Risk Oversight Committee. A number of early warning indicators are monitored to help identify emerging liquidity stresses in the market or within the organization and are reviewed with management periodically.
Funding Sources
Schwab’s primary source of funds is cash generated by client activity which includes bank deposits and cash balances in client brokerage accounts. These funds are used to purchase investment securities and extend loans to clients. Other sources of funds may include cash flows from operations, maturities and sales of investment securities, repayments on loans, securities lending of assets held in client brokerage accounts, FHLB borrowings, borrowings under repurchase agreements with external financial institutions, issuance of CDs, cash provided by securities issuances by CSC in the capital markets, and other facilities described below.
To meet daily funding needs, we maintain liquidity in the form of overnight cash deposits and short-term investments. For unanticipated liquidity needs, we also maintain a buffer of highly liquid investments, including U.S. Treasury securities.
Our clients’ bank deposits and brokerage cash balances primarily originate from our 35.3 million active brokerage accounts. More than 80% of our bank deposits qualified for FDIC insurance as of March 31, 2024. Our clients’ allocation of cash held on our balance sheet as bank deposits or payables to brokerage clients is sensitive to interest rate levels, with clients typically increasing their utilization of investment cash solutions such as purchased money market funds and certain fixed income products when those yields are higher than those of cash sweep features.
Schwab’s need for borrowings from external debt facilities arises primarily from timing differences between cash flow requirements, including in the event the outflow of client cash from the balance sheet is greater than cash flows from operations and investment securities and bank loans; payments on interest-earning investments; movements of cash to meet regulatory brokerage client cash segregation requirements; and general corporate purposes. We maintain policies and procedures necessary to access funding, and test borrowing procedures on a periodic basis. Rollover risk is the risk that we will not be able to refinance or payoff borrowings as they mature. We manage rollover risk on borrowings, taking into account expected principal paydowns on our investment and loan portfolios along with expected deposit flows.

(1) Amounts shown as available from the FHLB and Federal Reserve facilities represent remaining capacity based on assets pledged as of March 31, 2024. Incremental borrowing capacity may be made available by pledging additional assets, subject to applicable facility terms. See below and Note 8 for additional information.
(2) On March 11, 2024, the Federal Reserve Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) ceased to make new loans available. As such, during the first quarter of 2024, the Company reallocated certain amounts of collateral previously pledged under the BTFP to the Federal Reserve discount window. The BTFP was not used by the Company during the first quarter of 2024.
(3) Secured borrowing capacity is made available based on the banking subsidiaries’ or CSC’s ability to provide collateral deemed acceptable by each respective counterparty. See Note 12 for additional information.
(4) Secured borrowing capacity is made available based on CS&Co’s or TDAC’s ability to provide acceptable collateral to the lenders as determined by the credit agreements.
(5) During the first quarter of 2024, CSC entered into an unsecured committed revolving line of credit with various external banks.
N/A Not applicable.
Available borrowing capacity from the FHLB and Federal Reserve facilities maintained by our banking subsidiaries is dependent on the value of assets pledged and the terms of the borrowing arrangements. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had additional investment securities with a par value of approximately $135 billion or a fair value of approximately $124 billion available to be pledged to obtain additional capacity. Additional details regarding availability and use of these facilities is described below.
Amounts available under secured credit facilities with the FHLB are dependent on the value of our First Mortgages, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), and the fair value of certain of our investment securities that are pledged as collateral. These credit facilities are also available as backup financing in the event the outflow of client cash from the banking subsidiaries’ respective balance sheets is greater than maturities and paydowns on investment securities and bank loans. CSC’s banking subsidiaries must each maintain positive tangible capital, as defined by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, in order to place new draws upon these credit facilities, and the Company manages capital with consideration of minimum tangible capital ratios at our banking subsidiaries. Tangible capital pursuant to the requirements of the FHLB borrowing facilities for our banking subsidiaries is common equity less goodwill and intangible assets.
Our banking subsidiaries also have access to short-term secured funding through the Federal Reserve discount window. Amounts available under the Federal Reserve discount window are dependent on the value of certain investment securities that are pledged as collateral. Our banking subsidiaries may also engage with external financial institutions in repurchase agreements collateralized by investment securities as another source of short-term liquidity. In addition, our banking subsidiaries are counterparties to the standing repo facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; other than de minimis tests performed to satisfy the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s testing requirements, this facility was not used during the first three months of 2024 and there were no amounts outstanding at March 31, 2024. CSC maintains a standing bilateral repurchase agreement with an external bank. This facility was not used during the first quarter of 2024 and there were no amounts outstanding under this facility at March 31, 2024.
CSC’s ratings for Commercial Paper Notes were P1 by Moody’s Investor Service (Moody’s), A2 by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group (Standard & Poor’s), and F1 by Fitch Ratings, Ltd (Fitch) at March 31, 2024.
CSC also has a universal automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC, which enables it to issue debt, equity, and other securities.
THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, CSC has access to an unsecured, committed revolving line of credit with various external banks. This line will expire in January 2025. Other than an overnight borrowing to test the availability, the facility was not used during the first quarter of 2024.
CS&Co maintains uncommitted, unsecured bank credit lines with a group of banks as a source of short-term liquidity, which can also be accessed by CSC. CS&Co also maintains secured, uncommitted lines of credit, under which CS&Co may borrow on a short-term basis and pledge either client margin securities or firm securities as collateral, based on the terms of the agreements. TDAC maintains secured uncommitted lines of credit, under which TDAC borrows on either a demand or short-term basis and pledges client margin securities as collateral.
During 2023 and the first three months of 2024, CSB issued brokered CDs as a supplemental funding source. The following table provides information about brokered CDs issued by CSB and outstanding as of March 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Amount Outstanding | Maturity | Weighted-Average Interest Rate |
Brokered CDs | $ | 39,128 | | April 2024 - April 2025 | 5.22% |
Cash Flow Activity
As a result of rapidly increasing short-term interest rates beginning in 2022, the Company saw an increase in the pace at which clients moved certain cash balances out of our sweep features and into higher-yielding alternatives at Schwab. As a result of these outflows, our banking subsidiaries have supplemented excess cash on hand and cash generated by maturities and paydowns on our investment securities portfolios with fixed- and floating-rate FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, and issuances of brokered CDs. The average pace of client cash allocations out of sweep products into higher-yielding investment solutions decreased significantly beginning in the second half of 2023, and continued to decrease in the first quarter of 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $11.6 billion from year-end 2023 to $31.8 billion at March 31, 2024; cash and cash equivalents, including amounts restricted, decreased $16.8 billion to $57.7 billion at March 31, 2024. This decrease reflected repayments of supplemental funding balances of $8.8 billion and maturities of long-term debt of $3.3 billion. Bank deposits decreased during the first quarter of 2024 by $20.5 billion, resulting from a decrease of $11.4 billion in deposits swept from brokerage accounts due to client cash allocations and a decrease in brokered CDs of $9.2 billion. Partially offsetting the decrease in bank deposits and repayment of borrowings, net investing cash flows from our AFS and HTM securities totaled $10.0 billion in the first three months of 2024.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio
Schwab is subject to the full LCR rule, which requires the Company to hold high quality liquid assets (HQLA) in an amount equal to at least 100% of the Company’s projected net cash outflows over a prospective 30-calendar-day period of acute liquidity stress, calculated on each business day. See Part I – Item 1 – Business – Regulation in the 2023 Form 10-K for additional information. The Company was in compliance with the LCR rule at March 31, 2024, and the table below presents information about our average daily LCR:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Average for the Three Months Ended |
| March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Total eligible HQLA | $ | 58,841 | | | $ | 58,056 | |
Net cash outflows | 45,195 | | | 44,793 | |
LCR | 130 | % | | 130 | % |
To support growth in margin loan balances at our broker-dealer subsidiaries while meeting our LCR requirements, the Company may issue commercial paper or draw on secured lines of credit, in addition to capital markets issuances. In managing compliance with our LCR requirements, the broker-dealer subsidiaries may also retain client cash balances rather than sweeping such balances to our banking subsidiaries.

Net Stable Funding Ratio
Schwab is subject to disclosure requirements under the NSFR rule, which requires the semi-annual public disclosure of its NSFR levels. The NSFR rule stipulates that the Company’s available stable funding (ASF) must be at least 100% of the Company’s required stable funding (RSF). ASF is calculated by assessing the stability of the Company’s funding sources and RSF is calculated by evaluating the characteristics of the Company’s assets, derivatives, and off-balance-sheet exposures. The Company was in compliance with the NSFR rule at March 31, 2024.
Long-Term Borrowings
The Company’s long-term debt is primarily comprised of Senior Notes and totaled $22.9 billion and $26.1 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The following table provides information about our Senior Notes outstanding at March 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
March 31, 2024 | Par Outstanding | Maturity | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Moody’s | Standard & Poor’s | Fitch |

Ameritrade Holding Senior Notes | 213 | | 2024 - 2029 | 3.47% | A2 | A- | — |
| | | | | | |
New Debt Issuances
There were no new debt issuances of senior unsecured obligations in the first three months of 2024.
Schwab additionally enters into guarantees and other similar arrangements in the ordinary course of business. For information on these arrangements, see Item 1 – Notes 5, 6, 8, 9, and 12.
Additional information regarding our sources and uses of liquidity and management of liquidity risk is included in Part II – Item 7 – Risk Management – Liquidity Risk in our 2023 Form 10-K. See also Item 1 – Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Item 1 – Note 7 for the Company’s bank deposits, Item 1 – Note 8 for the Company’s debt and borrowing facilities, and Item 1 – Note 14 for equity outstanding balances and activity.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Schwab seeks to manage capital to a level and composition sufficient to support execution of our business strategy, inclusive of balance sheet growth over time, management of the 2023 IDA agreement, financial support to our subsidiaries, sustained access to the capital markets, and regulatory capital requirements. Schwab also seeks to return excess capital to stockholders. We may return excess capital through such activities as dividends, repurchases of common shares, preferred stock redemptions, and repurchases of our preferred stock represented by depositary shares. Schwab’s primary sources of capital are funds generated by the operations of subsidiaries and securities issuances by CSC in the capital markets. To ensure that Schwab has sufficient capital to absorb unanticipated losses or declines in asset values, we have adopted a policy to remain well capitalized even in stressed scenarios.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
CSC and certain subsidiaries including our banking and broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to various capital requirements set by regulatory agencies as discussed in further detail in Part II – Item 7 – Capital Management of the 2023 Form 10-K and in Item 1 – Note 17. As of March 31, 2024, CSC and our banking subsidiaries are considered well capitalized, and CS&Co, TDAC, and TD Ameritrade, Inc. are in compliance with their respective net capital requirements.

(1) Changes in market interest rates can result in unrealized gains or losses on AFS securities, which are included in AOCI. As a Category III banking organization, CSC has elected to exclude AOCI from regulatory capital.
The Company’s consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio increased to 8.8% at March 31, 2024 from 8.5% at year-end 2023. This increase during the first quarter was primarily due to lower total Company assets and also the benefit of net income earned during the quarter. Total balance sheet assets decreased $24.4 billion, or 5%, during the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to a decrease of $11.4 billion in bank sweep deposits, a decrease of $9.2 billion in brokered CDs, and repayment of $3.3 billion in long-term debt. CSB’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio also increased from year-end 2023, ending the first quarter of 2024 at 10.4% primarily as a result of lower total assets as well as net income during the quarter.
In light of the Federal Reserve’s 2023 regulatory capital rule proposal, which among other things, would require the Company to include AOCI in regulatory capital (See Part II – Item 7 – Current Regulatory and Other Developments in the 2023 Form 10-K), the Company has developed an adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that includes AOCI in the ratio. The primary component of AOCI for Schwab is unrealized gains and losses on our AFS investment securities portfolio and on securities transferred from AFS to the HTM category. As of March 31, 2024, our adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, which includes AOCI in the ratio, was 5.3% for CSC consolidated and 5.7% for CSB (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results). The Company is continuing to retain and accrete capital organically well ahead of the Federal Reserve’s proposed regulatory capital rules’ transition period.
IDA Agreement
Certain brokerage client deposits are swept off-balance sheet to the TD Depository Institutions pursuant to the 2023 IDA agreement. During the first three months of 2024, Schwab did not move IDA balances to its balance sheet. The Company’s overall capital management strategy includes supporting migration of IDA balances in future periods as available pursuant to the terms of the 2023 IDA agreement. The Company’s ability to migrate these balances to its balance sheet is dependent upon multiple factors including having sufficient capital levels to sustain these incremental deposits. See Item 1 – Note 9 for further information on the 2023 IDA agreement.

Share Repurchases
On July 27, 2022, CSC publicly announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization to repurchase up to $15.0 billion of common stock, replacing the previous and now terminated share repurchase authorization of up to $4.0 billion of common stock. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date. There were no repurchases of CSC’s common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024. CSC repurchased 37 million shares of its common stock for $2.8 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, approximately $8.7 billion remained on the authorization.
There were no repurchases of CSC’s preferred stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased on the open market 11,620 depositary shares representing interests in Series F preferred stock for $11 million, 42,036 depositary shares representing interests in Series G preferred stock for $42 million, 273,251 depositary shares representing interests in Series H preferred stock for $235 million, and 194,567 depositary shares representing interests in Series I preferred stock for $179 million. The repurchase prices are inclusive of $3 million of dividends accrued by the stockholders as of the repurchase date.
Share repurchases, net of issuances, are subject to a nondeductible 1% excise tax which was recognized as a direct and incremental cost associated with these transactions. For repurchases of common stock, the tax is recorded as part of the cost basis of the treasury stock repurchased, resulting in no impact to the condensed consolidated statement of income. For repurchases of preferred stock, the tax impact is included within preferred stock dividends and other on the condensed consolidated statement of income.
OTHER
Foreign Exposure
At March 31, 2024, Schwab had exposure to non-sovereign financial and non-financial institutions in foreign countries, as well as agencies of foreign governments.

At December 31, 2023, the fair value of these holdings totaled $12.8 billion, with the top three exposures being to issuers and counterparties domiciled in the United Kingdom at $5.0 billion, France at $3.2 billion, and Canada at $1.5 billion. In addition, Schwab had outstanding margin loans to foreign residents of $2.7 billion and $2.5 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Certain of our accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity are discussed in Part II – Item 7 – Critical Accounting Estimates in the 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no changes to critical accounting estimates during the first three months of 2024.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain references to the non-GAAP financial measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information about the financial performance of the Company, and facilitate meaningful comparison of Schwab’s results in the current period to both historic and future results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.
Schwab’s use of non-GAAP measures is reflective of certain adjustments made to GAAP financial measures as described below. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, these adjustments also include restructuring costs, which the Company began incurring in connection with its previously announced plans to streamline its operations to prepare for post-integration of Ameritrade. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 10 for additional information.
| | | | | | | | |
Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure | Definition | Usefulness to Investors and Uses by Management |
Acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and restructuring costs | Schwab adjusts certain GAAP financial measures to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related costs incurred as a result of the Company’s acquisitions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs and, where applicable, the income tax effect of these expenses.
Adjustments made to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets are reflective of all acquired intangible assets, which were recorded as part of purchase accounting. These acquired intangible assets contribute to the Company’s revenue generation. Amortization of acquired intangible assets will continue in future periods over their remaining useful lives. | We exclude acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and restructuring costs for the purpose of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe doing so provides additional transparency of Schwab’s ongoing operations, and is useful in both evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating comparison of results with prior and future periods.
Costs related to acquisition and integration or restructuring fluctuate based on the timing of acquisitions, integration and restructuring activities, thereby limiting comparability of results among periods, and are not representative of the costs of running the Company’s ongoing business. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of the Company’s underlying operating performance. |
Return on tangible common equity | Return on tangible common equity represents annualized adjusted net income available to common stockholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill, acquired intangible assets – net, and related deferred tax liabilities. | Acquisitions typically result in the recognition of significant amounts of goodwill and acquired intangible assets. We believe return on tangible common equity may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure to facilitate assessing capital efficiency and returns relative to the composition of Schwab’s balance sheet. |
Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio | Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio represents the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio as prescribed by bank regulatory guidance for the consolidated company and for CSB, adjusted to reflect the inclusion of AOCI in the ratio. | Inclusion of the impacts of AOCI in the Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio provides additional information regarding the Company’s current capital position. We believe Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure of the Company’s capital levels. |
The Company also uses adjusted diluted EPS and return on tangible common equity as components of performance criteria for employee bonus and certain executive management incentive compensation arrangements. The Compensation Committee of CSC’s Board of Directors maintains discretion in evaluating performance against these criteria.

(1) As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately 34% and 36%, respectively, of the total AFS in corporate debt securities were issued by institutions in the financial services industry.
(2) Approximately 57% and 61% of asset-backed securities held as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, were Federal Family Education Loan Program Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities collateralized by credit card receivables represented approximately 27% and 24% of the asset-backed securities held as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
(3) This represents the amount of PLM basis adjustments related to AFS securities hedged in a closed portfolio. See Note 11 for more information on PLM hedge accounting.
At March 31, 2024, our banking subsidiaries had pledged investment securities with a value of $68.2 billion as collateral to secure borrowing capacity on secured credit facilities with the FHLB (see Note 8). Our banking subsidiaries also pledge investment securities as collateral to secure borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve discount window, and had pledged securities with a value of $32.9 billion as collateral for this facility at March 31, 2024. The Company also pledges investment securities issued by federal agencies to secure certain trust deposits. The value of these pledged securities was $1.6 billion at March 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2024, our banking subsidiaries had pledged HTM and AFS securities as collateral under repurchase agreements with external financial institutions.

value of $1.5 billion. Securities pledged as collateral under these repurchase agreements may be sold, repledged, or otherwise used by the counterparties. See Notes 8 and 12 for additional information on these repurchase agreements.
At March 31, 2024, our banking subsidiaries had pledged AFS securities consisting of U.S. Treasury securities with an aggregate fair value of $191 million as initial margin on interest rate swaps (see Notes 11 and 12). All of Schwab’s interest rate swaps are cleared through central counterparty (CCP) clearing houses which require the Company to post initial margin as collateral against potential losses. Initial margin is posted through futures commission merchants (FCM) which serve as the intermediary between the CCPs and Schwab. The FCM agreements governing our swaps allow for securities pledged as initial margin to be sold, repledged, or otherwise used by the FCM.
Securities with unrealized losses, aggregated by category and period of continuous unrealized loss, of AFS investment securities are as follows:

(1) Unrealized losses less than 12 months amounts were less than $500 thousand.(2) For purposes of this table, unrealized losses on AFS securities excludes the unallocated PLM fair value hedge basis adjustments of $47 million and
$19 million at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
At March 31, 2024, substantially all rated securities in the investment portfolios were investment grade. U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities do not have explicit credit ratings; however, management considers these to be of the highest credit quality and rating given the guarantee of principal and interest by the U.S. government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.
For a description of management’s quarterly evaluation of AFS securities in unrealized loss positions, see Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2023 Form 10-K. No amounts were recognized as credit loss expense and no securities were written down to fair value through earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023. None of the Company’s AFS securities held as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 had an allowance for credit losses. All HTM securities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and therefore had no allowance for credit losses because expected nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero.
The Company had $531 million and $565 million of accrued interest for AFS and HTM securities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts are excluded from the amortized cost basis and fair market value of AFS and HTM securities and included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no writeoffs of accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, or for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Consistent with Schwab’s loan charge-off policy for pledged asset lines (PALs) as disclosed in Item 8 – Note 2 of the 2023 Form 10-K, the Company charges off any unsecured balances no later than 90-days past due. As of March 31, 2024, substantially all PALs are also subject to the collateral maintenance practical expedient under ASC 326 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. All PALs were fully collateralized by securities with fair values in excess of borrowings as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and no allowance for credit losses for PALs as of those dates was required.

The U.S. economy continued to be challenged by elevated inflation, tight monetary policy, and geopolitical unrest. However, amid sustained economic growth, supply and demand moved to a more balanced state. While the Federal Reserve held the policy rate steady during the first quarter of the year, management’s macroeconomic outlook reflects a near term continuation of elevated interest rates, with only a slight increase in unemployment and modest home price appreciation. Though higher mortgage rates are softening demand and reducing borrower affordability, we expect constrained housing supply will keep home prices relatively stable. Furthermore, credit quality metrics in the Company’s bank loans portfolio remain very strong and have improved in recent quarters. As a result of these factors, we decreased projected loss rates at March 31, 2024, as compared to December 31, 2023.
Bank loan-related nonperforming assets consisted of nonaccrual loans of $15 million at both March 31, 2024 and
December 31, 2023. Nonaccrual loans include nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings recorded prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” on January 1, 2023.
Credit Quality
In addition to monitoring delinquency, Schwab monitors the credit quality of First Mortgages and HELOCs by stratifying the portfolios by the following:
•Year of origination;
•Borrower FICO scores at origination (Origination FICO);
•Updated borrower FICO scores (Updated FICO);
•Loan-to-value (LTV) ratios at origination (Origination LTV); and
•Estimated Current LTV ratios (Estimated Current LTV).
Borrowers’ FICO scores are provided by an independent third-party credit reporting service and generally updated quarterly. The Origination LTV and Estimated Current LTV for a HELOC include any first lien mortgage outstanding on the same property at the time of the HELOC’s origination. The Estimated Current LTV for each loan is updated on a monthly basis by reference to a home price appreciation index.

(1) Represents the LTV for the full line of credit (drawn and undrawn) for revolving HELOCs.
At March 31, 2024, First Mortgage loans of $21.6 billion had adjustable interest rates. Substantially all of these mortgages have initial fixed interest rates for three to ten years and interest rates that adjust annually thereafter. Approximately 27% of the balance of these mortgages consisted of loans with interest-only payment terms. The interest rates on approximately 84% of the balance of these interest-only loans are not scheduled to reset for three or more years. Schwab’s mortgage loans do not include interest terms described as temporary introductory rates below current market rates.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Schwab had $161 million and $157 million, respectively, of accrued interest on bank loans, which is excluded from the amortized cost basis of bank loans and included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The HELOC product has a 30-year loan term with an initial draw period of ten years from the date of origination. After the initial draw period, the balance outstanding at such time is converted to a 20-year amortizing loan. The interest rate during the initial draw period and the 20-year amortizing period is a floating rate based on the prime rate plus a margin.

The following table presents when current outstanding HELOCs will convert to amortizing loans:
| | | | | | | | |
March 31, 2024 | | Balance |
Converted to an amortizing loan by period end (1) | | $ | 156 | |
Within 1 year | | 17 | |
> 1 year – 3 years | | 38 | |
> 3 years – 5 years | | 44 | |
> 5 years | | 200 | |
Total | | $ | 455 | |
(1) Includes $3 million of HELOCs converted to amortizing loans during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2024, $360 million of the HELOC portfolio was secured by second liens on the associated properties. Second lien mortgage loans typically possess a higher degree of credit risk given the subordination to the first lien holder in the event of default. In addition to the credit monitoring activities described previously, Schwab also monitors credit risk by reviewing the delinquency status of the first lien loan on the associated property. At March 31, 2024, the borrowers on approximately 59% of HELOC loan balances outstanding only paid the minimum amount due.
6. Variable Interest Entities
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, substantially all of Schwab’s involvement with variable interest entities (VIEs) was through CSB’s CRA-related investments and most of these are related to Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) investments. As part of CSB’s community reinvestment initiatives, CSB invests in funds that make equity investments in multifamily affordable housing properties and receives tax credits and other tax benefits for these investments. During the first quarters of 2024 and 2023, CSB recorded amortization of $42 million and $41 million, respectively, and recognized tax credits and other tax benefits of $53 million and $54 million, respectively, associated with these investments. The amortization, as well as the tax credits and other tax benefits, are included in taxes on income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Tax credits and other tax benefits are reflected as cash flows from operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Aggregate assets, liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss
The aggregate assets, liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss from those VIEs in which Schwab holds a variable interest, but is not the primary beneficiary, are summarized in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
| | Aggregate assets | | Aggregate liabilities | | Maximum exposure to loss | | Aggregate assets | | Aggregate liabilities | | Maximum exposure to loss |
LIHTC investments (1) | | $ | 1,467 | | | $ | 791 | | | $ | 1,467 | | | $ | 1,407 | | | $ | 759 | | | $ | 1,407 | |
Other investments (2) | | 183 | | | — | | | 230 | | | 179 | | | — | | | 231 | |
Total | | $ | 1,650 | | | $ | 791 | | | $ | 1,697 | | | $ | 1,586 | | | $ | 759 | | | $ | 1,638 | |
(1) Aggregate assets and aggregate liabilities are included in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(2) Other investments include non-LIHTC CRA investments that are accounted for as loans at amortized cost, equity method investments, AFS securities, or using the adjusted cost method. Aggregate assets are included in AFS securities, bank loans – net, or other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Schwab’s maximum exposure to loss would result from the loss of the investments, including any committed amounts. Schwab’s funding of these remaining commitments is dependent upon the occurrence of certain conditions, and Schwab expects to pay substantially all of these commitments between 2024 and 2027. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, Schwab did not provide or intend to provide financial or other support to the VIEs that it was not contractually required to provide.

FHLB borrowings: Our banking subsidiaries maintain secured credit facilities with the FHLB. Amounts available under these facilities are dependent on the amount of bank loans and the value of certain investment securities that are pledged as collateral. There was $24.0 billion and $26.4 billion outstanding under these facilities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and these borrowings had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.33% and 5.34%, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the collateral pledged provided additional borrowing capacity of $63.4 billion and $63.1 billion, respectively.
Other short-term borrowings: Total other short-term borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $8.4 billion and $6.6 billion, respectively, and had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.48% and 5.57%, respectively.

Loan Portfolio: CSB provides a co-branded loan origination program for CSB clients (the Program) with Rocket Mortgage, LLC (Rocket Mortgage®). Pursuant to the Program, Rocket Mortgage originates and services First Mortgages and HELOCs for CSB clients. Under the Program, CSB purchases certain First Mortgages and HELOCs that are originated by Rocket Mortgage. CSB purchased First Mortgages of $680 million and $723 million during the first quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. CSB purchased HELOCs with commitments of $36 million and $43 million during the first quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Guarantees and indemnifications: Schwab has clients that sell (i.e., write) listed option contracts that are cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation – a clearing house that establishes margin requirements on these transactions. We satisfy the margin requirements of these transactions through pledging certain client securities. For additional information on these pledged securities, refer to Note 12. In connection with its securities lending activities, Schwab is required to provide collateral to certain brokerage clients. The Company satisfies the collateral requirements by providing cash as collateral.
The Company also provides guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges under standard membership agreements, which require members to guarantee the performance of other members. Under the agreements, if another member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing houses and exchanges, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. The Company’s liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and may exceed the amounts it has posted as collateral. The Company also engages third-party firms to clear clients’ futures and options on futures transactions and to facilitate clients’ foreign exchange trading, and has agreed to indemnify these firms for any losses that they may incur from the client transactions introduced to them by the Company. The potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these guarantees.
IDA agreement: On May 4, 2023, the Company executed the 2023 IDA agreement with the TD Depository Institutions that replaced and superseded the previous agreement dated November 24, 2019, as amended. The 2023 IDA agreement specifies responsibilities, including certain contingent obligations, of the Company going forward. Pursuant to the 2023 IDA agreement, uninvested cash within eligible brokerage client accounts is swept off-balance sheet to deposit accounts at the TD Depository Institutions. Schwab provides recordkeeping and support services to the TD Depository Institutions with respect to the deposit accounts for which Schwab receives an aggregate monthly fee. The Company’s ability to migrate these balances to its balance sheet is dependent on multiple factors including having sufficient capital levels to sustain these incremental deposits and certain binding limitations specified in the 2023 IDA agreement. During the first three months of 2024, Schwab did not move IDA balances to its balance sheet.
The 2023 IDA agreement extends the agreement term to sweep balances to the TD Depository Institutions through July 1, 2034, and requires that Schwab maintain minimum and maximum IDA balances as follows:
•Through September 10, 2025, Schwab must maintain minimum balances above the total of then-outstanding unmatured fixed-rate obligation amounts, with a maximum of $30 billion above this total amount. During this period, withdrawals of IDA balances by Schwab are generally permitted only to the extent of withdrawals initiated by Schwab customers, with limited exceptions, except to the extent necessary for Schwab to maintain balances below the applicable maximum.
•After September 10, 2025, withdrawals of IDA balances are permitted at Schwab’s discretion, subject to an obligation to maintain IDA balances above a minimum of $60 billion, with a maximum of $90 billion.

Designation of deposit balances for investment in fixed- or floating-rate instruments under the 2023 IDA agreement is at Schwab’s sole discretion with certain limitations on the amount of fixed-rate obligation amounts. If IDA balances decline below the required IDA balance minimum as described above, Schwab would be required to make a nonperformance payment to the TD Depository Institutions pursuant to the terms of the 2023 IDA agreement.
Pursuant to the 2023 IDA agreement, in 2023, Schwab opted to buy down $5.0 billion of fixed-rate obligation amounts, incurring market-based fees of $249 million, which were capitalized as contract assets and included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For additional information on these contract assets, see Note 3.
As of March 31, 2024, the total ending IDA balance was $90.3 billion, of which $79.2 billion was fixed-rate obligation amounts and $11.1 billion was floating-rate obligation amounts. As of December 31, 2023, the total ending IDA balance was $97.5 billion, of which $83.7 billion was fixed-rate obligation amounts and $13.8 billion was floating-rate obligation amounts.
Legal contingencies: Schwab is subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, some of which include claims for substantial or unspecified damages. The Company is also the subject of inquiries, investigations, and proceedings by regulatory and other governmental agencies.
Predicting the outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter is inherently difficult, requiring significant judgment and evaluation of various factors, including the procedural status of the matter and any recent developments; prior experience and the experience of others in similar cases; available defenses, including potential opportunities to dispose of a case on the merits or procedural grounds before trial (e.g., motions to dismiss or for summary judgment); the progress of fact discovery; the opinions of counsel and experts regarding potential damages; and potential opportunities for settlement and the status of any settlement discussions. It may not be reasonably possible to estimate a range of potential liability until the matter is closer to resolution – pending, for example, further proceedings, the outcome of key motions or appeals, or discussions among the parties. Numerous issues may have to be developed, such as discovery of important factual matters and determination of threshold legal issues, which may include novel or unsettled questions of law. Reserves are established or adjusted or further disclosure and estimates of potential loss are provided as the matter progresses and more information becomes available.
Schwab believes it has strong defenses in all significant matters currently pending and is contesting liability and any damages claimed. Nevertheless, some of these matters may result in adverse judgments or awards, including penalties, injunctions or other relief, and the Company may also determine to settle a matter because of the uncertainty and risks of litigation. Described below are matters in which there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss could be incurred or where the matter may otherwise be of significant interest to stockholders. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any potential liability given the stage of proceedings in the matter. With respect to all other pending matters, based on current information and consultation with counsel, it does not appear reasonably possible that the outcome of any such matter would be material to the financial condition, operating results, or cash flows of the Company.
Corrente Antitrust Litigation: On June 6, 2022, CSC was sued in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on behalf of a putative class of customers who purchased or sold securities through CS&Co or TD Ameritrade, Inc. from October 26, 2020 to the present. The lawsuit alleges that CSC’s acquisition of Ameritrade violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act because it has resulted in an anticompetitive market for the execution of retail customer orders. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, as well as injunctive and other relief. A motion by the Company to dismiss the lawsuit was denied by the court on February 24, 2023, and discovery is proceeding.
Ford Order Routing Litigation: On September 15, 2014, Ameritrade Holding, TD Ameritrade, Inc. and its former CEO, Frederick J. Tomczyk, were sued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska on behalf of a putative class of TD Ameritrade, Inc. clients alleging that defendants failed to seek best execution and made misrepresentations and omissions regarding its order routing practices. Plaintiff seeks unspecified damages and injunctive and other relief. On September 14, 2018, the District Court granted plaintiff’s motion for class certification, and defendants petitioned for an immediate appeal of the District Court’s class certification decision. On April 23, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit, issued a decision reversing the District Court’s certification of a class and remanding the case back to the District Court for further proceedings. Plaintiff renewed his motion for class certification, which the District Court granted on September 20, 2022. Defendants are appealing the District Court’s ruling before the U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit.

10. Exit and Other Related Liabilities
Integration of Ameritrade
The Company completed its acquisition of Ameritrade effective October 6, 2020 and integration work continued during the first three months of 2024. The Company expects to complete the remaining client transitions from Ameritrade to Schwab in a final transition group in May of 2024.
The Company expects to continue to incur significant acquisition and integration-related costs and integration-related capital expenditures throughout the remaining integration process. Such costs have included, and are expected to continue to include, professional fees, such as legal, advisory, and accounting fees, compensation and benefits expenses for employees and contractors involved in the integration work, and costs for technology enhancements. The Company has also incurred exit and other related costs to attain anticipated synergies, which are primarily comprised of employee compensation and benefits such as severance pay, other termination benefits, and retention costs, as well as costs related to facility closures, such as accelerated amortization and depreciation or impairments of assets in those locations. Exit and other related costs are a component of the Company’s overall acquisition and integration-related spending, and support the Company’s ability to achieve integration objectives including expected synergies.
Our estimates of the nature, amounts, and timing of recognition of acquisition and integration-related costs remain subject to change based on certain factors, including the duration and complexity of the remaining integration process and the continued uncertainty of the economic environment. More specifically, factors that could cause variability in our expected acquisition and integration-related costs as we prepare for the last transition group and remaining integration work include the level of employee attrition, the complexity to wind-down the operations of the Ameritrade broker-dealers and related technology, and real estate-related exit cost variability.
Inclusive of costs recognized through March 31, 2024, Schwab currently expects to incur total exit and other related costs for the integration of Ameritrade ranging from $500 million to $600 million, consisting of employee compensation and benefits, facility exit costs, and certain other costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $3 million and $10 million of acquisition-related exit costs, respectively. The Company expects that remaining exit and other related costs will be incurred and charged to expense over the next 9 months, with some costs expected to be incurred after client transition to decommission duplicative platforms and complete integration work. In addition to ASC 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (ASC 420), certain of the costs associated with these activities are accounted for in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360), ASC 712 Compensation — Nonretirement Post Employment Benefits (ASC 712), ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation (ASC 718), and ASC 842 Leases (ASC 842).

Other
With significant progress made in the integration of Ameritrade, the Company took incremental actions in 2023 to streamline its operations to prepare for post-integration, including through position eliminations and decreasing its real estate footprint. In order to achieve anticipated cost savings through these actions, the Company expects to incur exit and related costs, primarily related to employee compensation and benefits and facility exit costs, of approximately $500 million inclusive of costs recognized through March 31, 2024 as described below. The Company anticipates the remaining costs, primarily related to real estate, will be incurred during 2024. In addition to ASC 420, certain of the costs associated with these activities are accounted for in accordance with ASC 360, ASC 712, ASC 718, and ASC 842.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures that arise from business activities related to changes in fair values or the receipt of future known and uncertain cash amounts due to changes in interest rates. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage changes in the fair values of, as well as changes in the amounts and/or timing of known or expected cash receipts related to, our AFS investment portfolio.
For a description of how the Company accounts for derivative instruments, see Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2023 Form 10-K. For additional information on the basis of presentation for derivative instruments on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and related offsetting considerations, see Note 12. Cash flows associated with derivative instruments are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows consistent with the treatment and nature of the items being hedged.
Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate AFS securities due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses cleared interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. Cleared interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a CCP in exchange for the Company receiving floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $8.9 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 that were designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments
The table below presents the gross fair values of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
| Assets | Liabilities | Assets | Liabilities |
Interest rate swaps (1,2) | $ | 1 | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — | |
(1) Derivative assets are included in other assets and derivative liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Derivative assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023 were less than $500 thousand.
(2) Includes reductions related to variation margin settlements. Settlements on derivative positions cleared through CCPs are reflected as reductions to the associated derivative asset and liability balances. As of March 31, 2024, there was a $241 million reduction of derivative assets related to variation margin settlements. As of December 31, 2023, there was an $87 million reduction of derivative assets and a $2 million reduction of derivative liabilities related to variation margin settlements.
Effects of Fair Value Hedge Accounting
The following amounts were recorded in AFS securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to fair value hedges:
| | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
Amortized cost of hedged AFS securities (1,2) | $ | 8,747 | | $ | 8,765 | |
Cumulative fair value hedging adjustment included in the amortized cost of hedged AFS securities (1,2) | (242) | | (85) | |
(1) Includes the amortized cost basis of closed portfolios of AFS securities used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the stated amount of assets in the closed portfolios anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $2.1 billion, of which $1.6 billion was designated in a portfolio layer hedging relationship. The cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships were a reduction of the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios of $47 million and $19 million, respectively, at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
(2) Excludes the amortized cost and fair value hedging adjustment of AFS securities for which hedge accounting has been discontinued. The cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments remaining for these securities was a reduction of the amortized cost basis of less than $500 thousand, which is recorded in AFS securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest revenue as a yield adjustment over the lives of the securities.
The table below presents the effect of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on the condensed consolidated statements of income:

(1) Excludes net income from periodic interest accruals and receipts of $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
12. Financial Instruments Subject to Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk
Interest rate swaps: Schwab uses interest rate swaps to manage certain interest rate risk exposures. Schwab’s interest rate swaps are cleared through CCPs which require the Company to post initial margin as collateral against potential losses. Schwab pledges investment securities as collateral in order to meet the CCP’s initial margin requirements. Initial margin is posted through FCMs which serve as the intermediary between CCPs and Schwab. Our interest rate swaps are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements allowing a right of setoff within each FCM-CCP relationship; however, we do not net these positions. Therefore, interest rate swaps are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 for additional information on the Company’s interest rate swaps.
Resale agreements: Schwab enters into collateralized resale agreements principally with other broker-dealers, which could result in losses in the event the counterparty fails to purchase the securities held as collateral for the cash advanced and the fair value of the securities declines. To mitigate this risk, Schwab requires that the counterparty deliver securities to a custodian, to be held as collateral, with a fair value at or in excess of the resale price. Schwab also sets standards for the credit quality of the counterparty, monitors the fair value of the underlying securities as compared to the related receivable, including accrued interest, and requires additional collateral where deemed appropriate. The collateral provided under these resale agreements is utilized to meet obligations under broker-dealer client protection rules, which place limitations on our ability to access such
THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Ratios, or as Noted)
(Unaudited)
segregated securities. For Schwab to repledge or sell this collateral, we would be required to deposit cash and/or securities of an equal amount into our segregated reserve bank accounts in order to meet our segregated cash and investments requirement. Schwab’s resale agreements as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were not subject to master netting arrangements.
Securities lending: Schwab loans brokerage client securities temporarily to other broker-dealers and clearing houses in connection with its securities lending activities and receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in security prices may cause the fair value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event a counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities or provide additional cash collateral, we may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy our client obligations. Schwab mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, monitoring the fair value of securities loaned, and requiring additional cash as collateral when necessary. In addition, most of our securities lending transactions are through a program with a clearing organization, which guarantees the return of cash to us. We also borrow securities from other broker-dealers to fulfill short sales by brokerage clients and deliver cash to the lender in exchange for the securities. The fair value of these borrowed securities was $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Our securities lending transactions are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with other broker-dealers; however, we do not net securities lending transactions. Therefore, the securities loaned and securities borrowed are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Repurchase agreements: Schwab enters into collateralized repurchase agreements with external financial institutions in which the Company sells securities and agrees to repurchase these securities on a specified future date at a stated repurchase price. These repurchase agreements are collateralized by investment securities with a fair value equal to or in excess of the secured borrowing liability. Decreases in security prices posted as collateral for repurchase agreements may require Schwab to transfer cash or additional securities deemed acceptable by the counterparty. To mitigate this risk, Schwab monitors the fair value of underlying securities pledged as collateral compared to the related liability. Our collateralized repurchase agreements with each external financial institution are considered to be enforceable master netting arrangements. However, we do not net these arrangements. As such, the secured short-term borrowings associated with these collateralized repurchase agreements are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

13. Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Schwab’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include: certain cash equivalents, certain investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes, AFS securities, certain other assets, interest rate swaps and certain accrued expenses and other liabilities. The Company uses the market approach to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities. When available, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities. Quoted prices for investments in exchange-traded securities represent end-of-day close prices published by exchanges. Quoted prices for money market funds and other mutual funds represent reported net asset values. When utilizing market data and bid-ask spread, the Company uses the price within the bid-ask spread that best represents fair value. When quoted prices in active markets do not exist, the Company uses prices obtained from independent third-party pricing services to measure the fair value of investment assets, and we generally obtain prices from three independent third-party pricing sources for such assets recorded at fair value.
Our primary independent pricing service provides prices for our fixed income investments such as commercial paper; certificates of deposits; U.S. government and agency securities; state and municipal securities; corporate debt securities; asset-backed securities; foreign government agency securities; and non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. Such prices are based on observable trades, broker/dealer quotes, and discounted cash flows that incorporate observable information such as yields for similar types of securities (a benchmark interest rate plus observable spreads) and weighted-average maturity for the same or similar “to-be-issued” securities. We compare the prices obtained from the primary independent pricing service to the prices obtained from the additional independent pricing services to determine if the price obtained from the primary independent pricing service is reasonable. Schwab does not adjust the prices received from independent third-party pricing services unless such prices are inconsistent with the definition of fair value and result in material differences in the amounts recorded.
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include interest rate swaps, securities sold but not yet purchased, and repurchase liabilities related to client-held fractional shares of equities, ETFs, and other securities, which are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of securities sold but not yet purchased are based on quoted market prices or other observable market data. The Company has elected the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825 Financial Instruments for the repurchase liabilities to match the measurement and accounting of the related client-held fractional shares. The fair values of the repurchase liabilities are based on quoted market prices or other observable market data consistent with the related client-held fractional shares. Unrealized gains and losses on client-held fractional shares offset the unrealized gains and losses on the corresponding repurchase liabilities, resulting in no impact to the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company’s liabilities to repurchase client-held fractional shares do not have credit risk, and, as a result, the Company has not recognized any gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of income or comprehensive income attributable to instrument-specific credit risk for these repurchase liabilities. The repurchase liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(Unaudited)
The fair values of interest rate swaps are based on market observable interest rate yield curves. Fair value measurements are priced considering the coupon rate of the fixed leg of the contract and the variable coupon rate on the floating leg of the contract. Valuation is based on both spot and forward rates on the swap yield curve. The Company validates its valuations with counterparty quotations from CCPs. See Note 11 for additional information on the Company’s interest rate swaps.
For a description of the fair value hierarchy and Schwab’s fair value methodologies, see Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2023 Form 10-K. The Company did not adjust prices received from the primary independent third-party pricing service at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

15. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
AOCI represents cumulative gains and losses that are not reflected in earnings. AOCI balances and the components of other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:
| | | | | |
| Total AOCI |
Balance at December 31, 2022 | $ | (22,621) | |
| |
Available for sale securities: | |
Net unrealized gain (loss), net of tax expense (benefit) of $421 | 1,428 | |
| |
Other reclassifications included in other revenue, net of tax expense (benefit) of $2 | 7 | |
Held to maturity securities: | |

Other (1) | (8) | |
Balance at March 31, 2024 | $ | (17,576) | |
(1) Tax expense (benefit) was less than $500 thousand.
In 2022, the Company transferred a portion of its AFS securities to the HTM category. The transfer of these securities to the HTM category reduces the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in AOCI that can result from unrealized losses on AFS securities due to changes in market interest rates. The unrealized loss at the time of transfer is amortized over the remaining life of the security, offsetting the amortization of the security’s premium or discount, and resulting in no impact to net income. As of March 31, 2024, the total remaining unamortized loss on these securities transferred to HTM included in AOCI was $11.0 billion net of tax effect ($14.5 billion pre-tax).

16. Earnings Per Common Share
The Company has voting and nonvoting common stock outstanding. As the rights of the voting and nonvoting common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, the net income of the Company has been allocated on a proportionate basis to the two classes. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted stock units and the if-converted method for nonvoting common stock. The if-converted method assumes conversion of all nonvoting common stock to common stock. For further details surrounding the EPS computation, see Item 8 – Note 25 in the 2023 Form 10-K.
EPS under the basic and diluted computations for both common stock and nonvoting common stock are as follows:

(1) Under risk-based capital rules, CSC and CSB are also required to maintain additional capital buffers above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios. As of March 31, 2024, CSC was subject to a stress capital buffer of 2.5%. In addition, CSB is required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. CSC and CSB are also required to maintain a countercyclical capital buffer above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios, which was zero for both periods presented. If a buffer falls below the minimum requirement, CSC and CSB would be subject to increasingly strict limits on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. At March 31, 2024, the minimum capital ratio requirements for both CSC and CSB, inclusive of their respective buffers, were 7.0%, 8.5%, and 10.5% for Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital, respectively.
N/A Not applicable.
Based on its regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2024, CSB is considered well capitalized (the highest category) under its respective regulatory capital rules. There are no conditions or events since March 31, 2024 that management believes have changed CSB’s capital category.
At March 31, 2024, the balance sheets of Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB (CSPB) and Charles Schwab Trust Bank (Trust Bank) consisted primarily of investment securities, and the entities held total assets of $26.0 billion and $10.2 billion, respectively. Based on their regulatory capital ratios, at March 31, 2024, CSPB and Trust Bank are considered well capitalized under their respective regulatory capital rules.

Pursuant to the SEC’s Customer Protection Rule and other applicable regulations, Schwab had cash and investments segregated for the exclusive benefit of clients at March 31, 2024. The SEC’s Customer Protection Rule requires broker-dealers to segregate client fully-paid securities and cash balances not collateralizing margin positions and not swept to money market funds or bank deposit accounts. Amounts included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes represent actual balances on deposit. Cash and cash equivalents included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes are presented as part of Schwab’s cash balances in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
18. Segment Information
Schwab’s two reportable segments are Investor Services and Advisor Services. Schwab structures the operating segments according to its clients and the services provided to those clients. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage, investment advisory, and banking and trust services to individual investors, and retirement plan services, as well as other corporate brokerage services, to businesses and their employees. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, banking and trust, and support services, as well as retirement business services, to independent RIAs, independent retirement advisors, and recordkeepers. Revenues and expenses are attributed to the two segments based on which segment services the client.
Management evaluates the performance of the segments on a pre-tax basis. Segment assets and liabilities are not used for evaluating segment performance or in deciding how to allocate resources to segments. There are no revenues from transactions between the segments.
Financial information for the segments is presented in the following table: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
