E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: ETFC) today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2017, reporting net income of $145 million and $0.48 diluted earnings per common share. This compares to net income of $153 million, or $0.53 diluted earnings per common share, in the first quarter of 2016 which included an income tax benefit related to the release of valuation allowances. Total net revenue of $553 million increased from net revenue of $472 million in the first quarter of 2016. Total non-interest expense in the quarter was $342 million compared to $312 million in the year-ago period.

“We had an outstanding start to the year, with strong bottom line results fueled by business growth, capital deployment, and a favorable operating environment,” said Karl Roessner, Chief Executive Officer. “Amidst a period of extraordinary and intensifying competition, we produced record growth in brokerage assets, and our strongest brokerage account growth in three years - well on pace to exceed our 2018 goals. Meanwhile, we continued to put capital to work for shareholders, onboarding deposits and taking advantage of the strong rate environment to outpace our balance sheet growth targets. While immensely gratifying to see the early benefits of our hard work to grow the business, we will not rest on our laurels. Specifically, we will remain steadfast in the integration of OptionsHouse to deliver a blockbuster customer experience, capitalize on our new creative agency to reinvigorate our iconic brand, and keep our team focused on continuing to deliver value for our customers and our shareholders.”

Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures

Management believes that adjusting GAAP measures by excluding or including certain items is helpful to investors and analysts who may wish to use some or all of this information to analyze the Company’s current performance, prospects and valuation. Management uses this non-GAAP information internally to evaluate operating performance and in formulating the budget for future periods. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures discussed below are appropriate for evaluating the operating and liquidity performance of the Company.

Adjusted Operating Margin

Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted income before income taxes by net revenue. Adjusted income before income taxes excludes the provision (benefit) for loan losses. Management believes that excluding the provision (benefit) for loan losses from operating margin provides a useful measure of the Company's ongoing operating performance because management excludes it when evaluating operating margin performance. See endnote (1) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

Corporate Cash

Corporate cash represents cash held at the parent company as well as cash held in certain subsidiaries, not including bank and broker-dealer subsidiaries, that can distribute cash to the parent company without any regulatory approval or notification. The Company believes that corporate cash is a useful measure of the parent company’s liquidity as it is the primary source of capital above and beyond the capital deployed in regulated subsidiaries. See endnote (5) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

Tangible Common Equity Book Value per Share

Tangible common equity book value per share represents common shareholders’ equity, which excludes preferred stock, less goodwill and other intangible assets (net of related deferred tax liabilities) divided by common stock outstanding. The Company believes that tangible common equity book value per share is a measure of the Company’s capital strength. See endnote (4) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.

It is important to note that these non-GAAP measures may involve judgment by management and should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or superior to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For additional information on the adjustments to these non-GAAP measures, please see the Company’s financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that will be included in the periodic report the Company expects to file with the SEC with respect to the financial periods discussed herein.
