Net Revenues

 

    

 

Net revenues were $17.70 billion for the first quarter of 2021, 102% higher than the first quarter of 2020 and 51% higher than the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2020 reflected higher net revenues across all segments, including significant increases in Asset Management, Global Markets and Investment Banking.

  Investment Banking  

 

 

 

 

 

Net revenues in Investment Banking were $3.77 billion for the first quarter of 2021, 73% higher than the first quarter of 2020 and 44% higher than the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2020 reflected significantly higher net revenues in both Underwriting and Financial advisory, partially offset by significantly lower net revenues in Corporate lending.

 

The increase in Underwriting net revenues was due to significantly higher net revenues in both Equity underwriting, primarily driven by strong initial public offerings activity, and Debt underwriting, primarily reflecting higher net revenues from leveraged finance and asset-backed activity. The increase in Financial advisory net revenues reflected a significant increase in completed mergers and acquisitions transactions. The decrease in Corporate lending net revenues reflected significantly lower net revenues from relationship lending activities as the prior year period included net gains from the impact of widening credit spreads on hedges.

 

The firm’s backlog2 increased compared with the end of 2020.

Net revenues in FICC were $3.89 billion, 31% higher than the first quarter of 2020, due to significantly higher net revenues in FICC intermediation, reflecting significantly higher net revenues in mortgages and interest rate products and, to a lesser extent, commodities and credit products, partially offset by significantly lower net revenues in currencies. Net revenues in FICC financing were essentially unchanged.

 

Net revenues in Equities were $3.69 billion, 68% higher than the first quarter of 2020, due to significantly higher net revenues in both Equities intermediation, reflecting significantly higher net revenues in both derivatives and cash products, and Equities financing, reflecting improved market conditions and increased activity (including higher average customer balances in the Prime business).

   Asset Management  

 

      

 

Net revenues in Asset Management were $4.61 billion for the first quarter of 2021, compared with $(96) million for the first quarter of 2020 and $3.21 billion for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2020 primarily reflected strong net revenues in Equity investments and Lending and debt investments, compared with net losses in the prior year period due to a challenging operating environment. In addition, Management and other fees were higher, while Incentive fees were significantly lower.

 

Equity investments net revenues reflected significantly higher net gains from investments in private equities and net gains from investments in public equities compared with net losses in the prior year period. Lending and debt investments net revenues included net gains, reflecting tighter corporate credit spreads during the quarter, compared with significant net losses in the prior year period. The increase in Management and other fees reflected the impact of higher average assets under supervision, partially offset by fee waivers on money market funds. The decrease in Incentive fees was due to a strong prior year period.

Net revenues in Wealth management were $1.37 billion, 13% higher than the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to higher Management and other fees, reflecting the impact of higher average assets under supervision. Net revenues in Private banking and lending were higher, primarily reflecting higher net interest income from lending, while Incentive fees were lower.

 

Net revenues in Consumer banking were $371 million, 32% higher than the first quarter of 2020, reflecting higher credit card loan and deposit balances.

Provision for credit losses was a net benefit of $70 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared with net provisions of $937 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $293 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The first quarter of 2021 included reserve reductions on wholesale and consumer loans reflecting continued improvement in the broader economic environment following challenging conditions that began in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by portfolio growth, including provisions related to the pending acquisition of the General Motors co-branded credit card portfolio.

 

The firm’s allowance for credit losses was $4.24 billion as of March 31, 2021.

Operating Expenses

 

 

Operating expenses were $9.44 billion for the first quarter of 2021, 46% higher than the first quarter of 2020 and 60% higher than the fourth quarter of 2020. The firm’s efficiency ratio2 for the first quarter of 2021 was 53.3%, compared with 73.9% for the first quarter of 2020.

 

 

  

 

 

Operating Expenses

 

 

 

$9.44 billion

 

 

The increase in operating expenses compared with the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to significantly higher compensation and benefits expenses (reflecting strong performance). Transaction based expenses were significantly higher (reflecting an increase in activity levels) and technology expenses were higher, partially offset by lower net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings, lower travel and entertainment expenses (included in market development expenses), and lower expenses related to consolidated investments (including impairments).

 

Net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings for the first quarter of 2021 were $74 million compared with $184 million for the first quarter of 2020.

 

Headcount was essentially unchanged compared with the end of 2020.

Provision for Taxes

 

 

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was 18.0%, down from the full year rate of 24.2% for 2020, primarily due to the impact of non-deductible litigation in 2020 and the impact of tax benefits on the settlement of employee share-based awards in the first quarter of 2021.

Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, 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, financial condition and liquidity may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results, financial condition and liquidity in these forward-looking statements.

Statements about the firm’s investment banking transaction backlog also may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the risk that transactions may be modified or may not be completed at all and related net revenues may not be realized or may be materially less than expected. Important factors that could have such a result include, for underwriting transactions, a decline or weakness in general economic conditions, an outbreak of hostilities, volatility in the securities markets or an adverse development with respect to the issuer of the securities and, for 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.

Annualized ROE is calculated by dividing annualized net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average monthly common shareholders’ equity. Annualized ROTE is calculated by dividing annualized net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average monthly tangible common shareholders’ equity (tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated as total shareholders’ equity less preferred stock, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets). Management believes that ROTE is meaningful because it measures the performance of businesses consistently, whether they were acquired or developed internally, and that tangible common shareholders’ equity is meaningful because it is a measure that the firm and investors use to assess capital adequacy. ROTE and tangible common shareholders’ equity are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of average common shareholders’ equity to average tangible common shareholders’ equity:
