SCHWAB REPORTS FIRST QUARTER REVENUES UP 23% YEAR-OVER-YEAR

Diversified, disciplined business model boosts operating income 84%

Quarter marked by improved environment and client engagement, as well as sustained investment for growth

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15, 2011 – The Charles Schwab Corporation announced today that its net income was $243 million for the first quarter of 2011, up from $6 million for the first quarter of 2010. The company’s first quarter 2011 net income was 84% higher than the $132 million earned in the year-earlier period excluding certain charges relating to the Schwab YieldPlus Fund® and the company’s affinity credit card program.

Chairman Charles Schwab said, “Although still choppy, the environment is improving and investors are actively engaged with us across all our businesses. Recent data shows that our economy is growing and adding jobs again, the unemployment rate is beginning to recover, and leading indicators are rising. The equity markets are responding, with the major indices rising by approximately 5% during the first quarter. Our clients are working with us to ensure they are participating in the markets appropriately – they have now reduced the percentage of their assets at Schwab held in cash to pre-crisis levels. At the same time, investors are faced with navigating ongoing challenges – including geopolitical turmoil, vacillating energy prices, and the aftermath of major natural disasters – highlighting the importance of the diverse full-service solutions and advice we provide. Overall, approximately $800 billion of the client assets currently at Schwab are either enrolled in one of our advisory offerings or under the guidance of an independent advisor, up 16% from a year ago.”

CEO Walt Bettinger commented, “Overall, we’ve had a quality start to 2011 from both a financial and client perspective. Our first quarter earnings reflected the operating leverage inherent in our business model, and our metrics remained strong. New brokerage account openings totaled 224,000, net new assets totaled $25.1 billion excluding a large clearing outflow, and total client assets reached a record $1.65 trillion at month-end March, up 10% from a year ago. We now serve 8.1 million active brokerage accounts, 719,000 banking accounts, and 1.44 million retirement plan participants.”


“As a growth-oriented company, we are continuing our investment in clients during 2011 to help sustain long-term revenue growth,” Mr. Bettinger continued. “We plan to increase our 2011 spending on client-related initiatives by nearly 40% over 2010 to help us significantly improve our service in areas like fixed-income, global investing, mobile and tablet solutions, and advisor-focused technology, as well as to advance our index-and-ETF-based 401(k) and Independent Branch Services initiatives. Already this year, we’ve launched our new StreetSmart Edge™ trading platform, introduced an ETF Select List™, and reached an agreement to acquire optionsXpress so that we can include their highly-regarded options and futures trading capabilities as part of our offerings for investors who trade more actively.”

CFO Joe Martinetto added, “Our diversified revenue streams and ongoing expense discipline are helping to deliver improved financial performance even in a flat short-term interest rate environment. During the first quarter, the Fed Funds target remained unchanged at 0 – 0.25%, but the sustained growth in our client base helped each of our three major sources of revenue – net interest revenue, asset management and administration fees, and trading revenue – once again increase on both a sequential and year-over-year basis, with the annual increases reaching 28%, 20%, and 15%, respectively. Our 7% year-over-year expense growth – after adjusting the first quarter of 2010 for certain charges – was in line with our more aggressive investment plan for 2011. Our pre-tax profit margin of 32.6% was the highest in nine quarters, placing the firm’s performance right where we’d expect to be given the environment and client activity. Our ongoing success with clients keeps us well positioned to drive improved financial performance in the months ahead to the extent short-term interest rates remain flat, and to drive significantly improved performance should rates begin to increase.”
