SCHWAB REPORTS THIRD QUARTER REVENUES UP 11% YEAR-OVER-YEAR

Full Service Model Helps Clients Remain Engaged Despite Market Volatility; Core Net New Assets Rise 21%

SAN FRANCISCO, October 17, 2011 – The Charles Schwab Corporation announced today that its net income was $220 million for the third quarter of 2011, up 77% from $124 million for the year-earlier period. The company’s third quarter 2010 net income was $218 million prior to the inclusion of certain charges relating to its money market mutual funds and affinity credit card program. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $701 million, up 109% year-over-year. Schwab’s year-to-date 2010 net income was $555 million prior to the inclusion of charges for the items noted above and the settlement of a civil class action lawsuit relating to the Schwab YieldPlus Fund^®.

Third quarter 2011 results include non-recurring costs relating to the acquisition of optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. totaling $10 million after-tax.

President and CEO Walt Bettinger said, “Our unique combination of full-service, high-value brokerage continues to perform well and deliver growth despite a difficult economic environment. Although the environment weakened further during the third quarter, our clients stayed with their long-term investing plans. Their cash holdings at Schwab remained close to pre-crisis levels and they were consistently net purchasers of securities. Our full service capabilities were in demand during the recent quarter as enrollments in our advisory solutions continued at a strong pace. We ended September with a total of 2.4 million accounts at Schwab either enrolled in retail advisory offerings or under the guidance of an independent advisor, an increase of 153,000 over September 2010. During the quarter, we introduced new and enhanced features in our StreetSmart Edge^® platform for our active trader clients, and executed a record 1,005,000 trades on a single day in August during the height of recent market volatility. We also handled a high volume of branch, phone and website interactions during the quarter. For example, our systems processed over 68 million log-ins to Schwab.com during the period, a 17% year-over-year increase, while retaining our #1 spot in the respected Keynote measurements for website speed. Net new assets totaled $86.0 billion for the third quarter – excluding the optionsXpress acquisition and major Clearing inflows, core net new assets totaled $17.6 billion, up 21% from last year. Clients opened 191,000 new brokerage accounts during the period, up 14%, and we ended the quarter with 8.5 million active brokerage accounts,

769,000 banking accounts, and 1.46 million retirement plan participants. Client assets totaled $1.58 trillion at month-end September, up 7%.”

“Given the weakened environment, we’ll respond appropriately on the expense side while remaining true to our long-term strategy,” Mr. Bettinger continued. “We recognize that effective expense discipline remains key to our ability to balance near-term profitability with investing in our clients to enhance their service experience and sustain our growth. Our ongoing willingness to make appropriate trade-off decisions helped us to deliver year-to-date revenue and operating income growth of 15% and 27%, respectively. At the same time, we are pushing forward with initiatives that will expand our non rate-sensitive revenues, such as our recent acquisitions of Windhaven and optionsXpress, as well as the development of an integrated technology platform for independent advisors and a new index-based 401(k) offering. Overall, we believe that disciplined, yet sustained, investment in our growing client base is the best path to absorb and offset the environmental pressure we face.”

CFO Joe Martinetto added, “We guard Schwab’s financial stability and flexibility by following our philosophy of near-term profitability / long-term value creation throughout market cycles. By applying the same rigor to managing credit and interest rate risk across all environments, we can keep the firm focused on serving our clients rather than getting pulled off course by financial dislocations. Our continued success with clients and our diversified revenue streams enabled us to keep revenues essentially flat sequentially – trading revenues rose by 21% over the second quarter, and our expanding client base limited the decline in net interest revenue to 2%. Asset management and administration fees declined by 7% sequentially due to lower equity markets and further deterioration in short-term rates, which pushed money market fund fee waivers up to $160 million from $128 million in the prior quarter. With our ongoing expense discipline helping us to achieve a 30.5% pre-tax profit margin in the third quarter, our financial performance remains where we’d expect it to be given the environment. We have a healthy balance sheet with a growing capital base, and we remain well positioned to continue delivering strong near-term profitability while investing for future growth, even if the current rate environment persists for an extended period.”
