This earnings release contains forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made and which reflect management's current estimates, projections, expectations or beliefs and which are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially.

¹ Represents the change in the fair value of certain of the Firm’s long-term and short-term borrowings resulting from the fluctuation in the Firm’s credit spreads and other credit factors (Debt Valuation Adjustment, DVA).

² From time to time, Morgan Stanley may disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures” in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. For these purposes, “GAAP” refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines a “non-GAAP financial measure” as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial positions, or cash flows that is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude, or include amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by Morgan Stanley are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing, our financial condition and operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure, we will also generally present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure we reference and such comparable GAAP financial measure.

³ Earnings (loss) per diluted share amounts, excluding DVA, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. Such exclusions are provided to differentiate revenues associated with Morgan Stanley borrowings, regardless of whether the impact is either positive, or negative, that result solely from fluctuations in credit spreads and other credit factors. The reconciliation of earnings (loss) per diluted share from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders and average diluted shares from a non-GAAP to GAAP basis is as follows (number of shares, and DVA impact thereon, are presented in millions):

	1Q 2015	1Q 2014
Earnings (loss) per diluted share from cont. ops. - Non-GAAP	$1.14	$0.70
DVA Impact	$0.04	$0.04
Earnings (loss) per diluted share from cont. ops. - GAAP	$1.18	$0.74
Average diluted shares - Non-GAAP	1,963	1,969
DVA Impact	0	0
Average diluted shares - GAAP	1,963	1,969

⁴ Net revenues and income (loss) from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley, excluding DVA, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors to allow for better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. The reconciliation of net revenues and income (loss) from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley from a non-GAAP to GAAP basis is as follows (amounts are presented in millions):

	1Q 2015	4Q 2014	1Q 2014
Firm net revenues - Non-GAAP	$9,782	$7,541	$8,870

⁶ Pre-tax margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers useful for investors to assess operating performance. Pre-tax margin represents income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes divided by net revenues.

⁷ Annualized return on average common equity from continuing operations (ROE) and ROE, excluding DVA and net discrete tax benefit, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. The calculation of ROE uses income from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley less preferred dividends as a percentage of average common equity. To determine the ROE, excluding DVA and net discrete tax benefit, both the numerator and denominator were adjusted to exclude those items. The reconciliation of ROE from continuing operations to ROE from continuing operations, excluding DVA and net discrete tax benefit is as follows:

	1Q 2015
ROE from cont. ops. excluding DVA and discrete tax benefit	10.1%
DVA impact	0.7%
Discrete tax benefit	3.4%
ROE from cont. ops.	14.2%

⁸ Includes preferred dividends and other adjustments related to the calculation of earnings per share for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 of approximately $80 million and $56 million, respectively. Refer to page 3 of Morgan Stanley’s Financial Supplement accompanying this release for the calculation of earnings per share.

⁹ The impact to earnings per diluted share from continuing operations is calculated by dividing the net discrete tax benefit by the average number of shares outstanding.

¹⁰ Institutional Securities net revenues and pre-tax income (loss), excluding DVA, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors to allow for better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. The reconciliation of net revenues and pre-tax income (loss) from a non-GAAP to GAAP basis is as follows (amounts are presented in millions):

	1Q 2015	4Q 2014	1Q 2014
Net revenues - Non-GAAP	$5,333	$3,207	$4,551
DVA impact	$125	$223	$126

Pre-tax income (loss) - Non-GAAP	$1,688	$(3,884)	$1,290
DVA impact	$125	$223	$126
Pre-tax income (loss) - GAAP	$1,813	$(3,661)	$1,416

¹¹ Sales and trading net revenues, including Fixed Income & Commodities (FIC) and Equity sales and trading net revenues excluding DVA, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. The reconciliation of sales and trading, including FIC and Equity sales and trading net revenues from a non-GAAP to GAAP basis is as follows (amounts are presented in millions):

	1Q 2015	1Q 2014
Sales & Trading - Non-GAAP	$3,958	$3,115

¹² “CanTerm” refers to CanTerm Canadian Terminals Inc.

¹³ VaR represents the loss amount that one would not expect to exceed, on average, more than five times every one hundred trading days in the Firm’s trading positions if the portfolio were held constant for a one-day period. Further discussion of the calculation of VaR and the limitations of the Firm’s VaR methodology is disclosed in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” included in Morgan Stanley’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Refer to page 7 of Morgan Stanley’s Financial Supplement accompanying this release for the VaR disclosure.

¹⁴ Transactional revenues include investment banking, trading, and commissions and fee revenues.

¹⁵ Results for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 included pre-tax income of $14 million and $54 million, respectively, related to investments held by certain consolidated real estate funds. The limited partnership interests in these funds are reported in net income (loss) applicable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests on page 10 of Morgan Stanley’s Financial Supplement accompanying this release.

¹⁶ Net revenues for the current quarter included gains of $14 million compared with gains of $54 million in the prior year first quarter related to investments held by certain consolidated real estate funds.

¹⁷ On April 1, 2014, the Firm deconsolidated approximately $2 billion in total assets related to a real estate fund sponsored by the Firm.

¹⁸ As an Advanced Approach banking organization, the Firm is required to compute risk-based capital ratios using both (i) standardized approaches for calculating credit risk weighted assets (“RWAs”) and market risk RWAs (the “Standardized Approach”); and (ii) an advanced internal ratings-based approach for calculating credit risk RWAs, an advanced measurement approach for calculating operational risk RWAs, and an advanced approach for market risk RWAs calculated under Basel III (the “Advanced Approach”). To implement a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act, U.S. Basel III subjects Advanced Approach banking organizations which have been approved by their regulators to exit the parallel run, such as the Firm, to a permanent “capital floor”. In calendar year 2014, the capital floor resulted in the Firm’s capital ratios being the lower of the capital ratios computed under the Advanced Approach or the U.S. Basel I-based rules as supplemented by the existing market risk rules known as “Basel 2.5”. Beginning on January 1, 2015, the capital floor is the lower of the capital ratios computed under the Advanced Approach or the Standardized Approach under U.S. Basel III, taking into consideration applicable transitional provisions. For the current quarter, the Firm's capital floor is represented by the Advanced Approach. These computations are preliminary estimates as of April 20, 2015 (the date of this release) and could be subject to revision in Morgan Stanley’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The methods for calculating the Firm’s risk-based capital ratios will change through 2022 as aspects of the U.S. Basel III final rule are phased in. The Firm’s capital takes into consideration regulatory capital requirements as well as capital required for organic growth, acquisitions and other business needs.

¹⁹ Tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers to be useful measures of capital adequacy. Tangible common equity equals common equity less goodwill and intangible assets net of allowable mortgage servicing rights deduction. Tangible book value per common share equals tangible common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding.

²⁰ The effective tax rate from continuing operations, excluding net discrete tax benefit is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers useful for investors to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. The reconciliation of effective tax rate from continuing operations from a non-GAAP to GAAP basis is as follows:

	1Q 2015
Effective Tax Rate - Non-GAAP	33.3%
Discrete Tax Benefit	(19.7%)
Effective Tax Rate - GAAP	13.6%

Notes	-	In the quarter ended March 31, 2015, income tax provision / (benefit) from continuing operations included a net discrete tax benefit of $564 million primarily associated with the repatriation of non-U.S. earnings at a cost lower than originally estimated. In the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the income tax provision / (benefit) from continuing operations included a net discrete tax benefit of approximately $1.4 billion primarily related to the completion of a legal entity restructuring, partially offset by the impact of a tax provision of approximately $900 million which resulted from the non-deductible expenses related to litigation and regulatory matters.
	-	Pre-tax profit margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers to be a useful measure to assess operating performance.
	-	Preferred stock dividend / other includes allocation of earnings to Participating Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
