Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but instead represent only the firm’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the firm’s control. It is possible that the firm’s actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements. For a discussion of some of the risks and important factors that could affect the firm’s future results and financial condition, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Information regarding the firm’s capital ratios, risk-weighted assets, supplementary leverage ratio, total assets and balance sheet data, global core liquid assets, and planned 2019 benchmark issuances consists of preliminary estimates. These estimates are forward-looking statements and are subject to change, possibly materially, including as the firm completes its financial statements. Statements about the firm’s expected 2019 effective income tax rate constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to the risk that the firm’s 2019 effective income tax rate may differ from the anticipated rate indicated in these forward-looking statements, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in the firm’s earnings mix, the firm’s profitability and the entities in which the firm generates profits, the assumptions the firm has made in forecasting its expected tax rate, as well as guidance that may be issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Statements about the firm’s investment banking transaction backlog also may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the risk that the terms of these transactions may be modified or that they may not be completed at all; therefore, the net revenues, if any, that the firm actually earns from these transactions may differ, possibly materially, from those currently expected. Important factors that could result in a modification of the terms of a transaction or a transaction not being completed include, in the case of underwriting transactions, a decline or continued weakness in general economic conditions, outbreak of hostilities, volatility in the securities markets generally or an adverse development with respect to the issuer of the securities and, in the case of financial advisory transactions, a decline in the securities markets, an inability to obtain adequate financing, an adverse development with respect to a party to the transaction or a failure to obtain a required regulatory approval. For a discussion of other important factors that could adversely affect the firm’s investment banking transactions, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. 15

Footnotes 1. 2019 estimated real gross domestic product (GDP) growth and 2018 estimated S&P 500 Index earnings per share (EPS) growth both per Goldman Sachs Research. U.S. credit z-spreads per Bloomberg. Corporate confidence level per Duke Fuqua CFO survey. 2. Dealogic – January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. 3. The following reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation. Provision for credit losses, previously reported in other principal transactions revenues (and Investing & Lending segment net revenues), is now reported as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Headcount consists of the firm’s employees, and excludes consultants and temporary staff previously reported as part of total staff. As a result, expenses related to consultants and temporary staff previously reported in compensation and benefits expenses are now reported in professional fees. Regulatory-related fees that are paid to exchanges, reported in other expenses prior to 2018, are now reported in brokerage, clearing, exchange and distribution fees. 4. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Legislation) was enacted and lowered U.S. corporate income tax rates as of January 1, 2018, implemented a territorial tax system and imposed a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The estimated impact of Tax Legislation was an increase in income tax expense of $4.40 billion for the fourth quarter of 2017. Excluding this expense, diluted EPS was $19.76, return on average common shareholders’ equity (ROE) was 10.8% and return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (ROTE) was 11.4% for 2017, and diluted EPS was $5.68 for the fourth quarter of 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the firm finalized this estimate to reflect the impact of updated information, including subsequent guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, resulting in a $467 million income tax benefit ($487 million total income tax benefit for 2018). Excluding this benefit, diluted EPS was $24.02, ROE was 12.7% and ROTE was 13.4% for 2018, and diluted EPS was $4.83 for the fourth quarter of 2018. Management believes that presenting the firm’s results excluding Tax Legislation is meaningful as excluding this item increases the comparability of period-to-period results. Diluted EPS and ROE, excluding the impact of Tax Legislation, are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The tables below present the calculation of net earnings applicable to common shareholders, diluted EPS and average common shareholders’ equity, excluding the impact of Tax Legislation (unaudited, in millions, except per share amounts): FOR THE THREE MONTHS YEAR THREE MONTHS YEAR ENDED ENDED ENDED ENDED DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, 2018 2018 2017 2017 Net earnings / (loss) applicable to common shareholders, as reported $ 2,322 $ 9,860 $ (2,143) $ 3,685 Impact of Tax Legislation (467) (487) 4,400 4,400 Net earnings applicable to common shareholders, excluding the impact of Tax Legislation $ 1,855 $ 9,373 $ 2,257 $ 8,085 Divided by average diluted common shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings (excluding the impact of Tax Legislation) per common share 384.3 390.2 397.4 409.1 Diluted earnings per common share, excluding the impact of Tax Legislation $ 4.83 $ 24.02 $ 5.68 $ 19.76 FOR THE THREE MONTHS YEAR ENDED ENDED DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, 2017 2017 Average basic common shares, as reported 389.8 401.6 Effect of dilutive securities 7.6 7.5 Average diluted common shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings (excluding the impact of Tax Legislation) per common share 397.4 409.1 16

Footnotes (continued) AVERAGE FOR THE YEAR ENDED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 DECEMBER 31, 2017 Common shareholders’ equity, as reported $ 73,985 $ 74,721 Impact of Tax Legislation (42) 338 Common shareholders’ equity, excluding the impact of Tax Legislation 73,943 75,059 Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (4,090) (4,065) Tangible common shareholders’ equity, excluding the impact of Tax Legislation $ 69,853 $ 70,994 5. ROE is calculated by dividing net earnings (or annualized net earnings for annualized ROE) applicable to common shareholders by average monthly common shareholders’ equity. Tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated as total shareholders’ equity less preferred stock, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. ROTE is calculated by dividing net earnings (or annualized net earnings for annualized ROTE) applicable to common shareholders by average monthly tangible common shareholders’ equity. Tangible book value per common share (TBVPS) is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by basic shares (380.9 million as of December 31, 2018, 382.9 million as of September 30, 2018 and 388.9 million as of December 31, 2017). Management believes that tangible common shareholders’ equity and TBVPS are meaningful because they are measures that the firm and investors use to assess capital adequacy and that ROTE is meaningful because it measures the performance of businesses consistently, whether they were acquired or developed internally. Tangible common shareholders’ equity, ROTE and TBVPS are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The table below presents the firm’s average total and common shareholders’ equity, as well as a reconciliation of total shareholders’ equity to tangible common shareholders’ equity (unaudited, $ in millions): AVERAGE FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 DECEMBER 31, 2018 DECEMBER 31, 2018 Total shareholders’ equity $ 87,761 $ 85,238 $ 90,185 Preferred stock (11,203) (11,253) (11,203) Common shareholders’ equity 76,558 73,985 78,982 Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (4,094) (4,090) (4,082) Tangible common shareholders’ equity $ 72,464 $ 69,895 $ 74,900 6. Consists of Investment Banking net revenues, commissions and fees within Equities, securities services net revenues within Equities, net interest income within debt securities and loans, and Investment Management net revenues. 7. For information about the firm’s investment banking transaction backlog, assets under supervision (AUS), share repurchase program and global core liquid assets (GCLA), see “Results of Operations – Investment Banking,” “Results of Operations – Investment Management,” “Equity Capital Management and Regulatory Capital – Equity Capital Management” and “Risk Management – Liquidity Risk Management,” respectively, in Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2018. For information about the firm’s risk-based capital ratios and supplementary leverage ratio, see Note 20 “Regulation and Capital Adequacy” in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements (Unaudited)” in the firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2018. 8. Financing in FICC includes net revenues primarily from short-term repurchase agreement activities. Financing in Equities includes net revenues from prime brokerage and other financing activities, including securities lending, margin lending and swaps. 17

Footnotes (continued) 9. Includes consolidated investment entity assets reported in “Other Assets” on the consolidated statements of financial condition, substantially all of which relate to entities engaged in real estate investment activities. These assets are generally accounted for at historical cost less depreciation. These entities are funded with approximately $ 6 billion of non-recourse debt. 10. In addition to preparing the firm’s consolidated statements of financial condition in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the firm prepares a balance sheet that generally allocates assets to the firm’s businesses, which is a non-GAAP presentation and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP presentations used by other companies.
