SAN FRANCISCO--()--The Charles Schwab Corporation announced today that its net income for the second quarter of 2020 was $671 million compared with $795 million for the first quarter of 2020, and $937 million for the second quarter of 2019. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.5 billion, compared with $1.9 billion for the year-earlier period. The company’s financial results for both the second quarter and first half of 2020 include certain acquisition and integration-related costs as well as the amortization of acquired intangibles, which together totaled $93 million and $136 million, respectively, on a pre-tax basis.

Beginning with this quarter’s earnings release, the company’s financial presentations will include references to adjusted measures of expenses, net income, diluted earnings per common share, pre-tax profit margin, as well as return on tangible common equity (ROTCE), which are intended to help investors evaluate Schwab’s operating performance as well as facilitate a meaningful comparison of our current results to both historic and future periods.

CEO Walt Bettinger said, “Throughout the second quarter, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects continued to dominate the macroeconomic environment, presenting myriad challenges for our clients and Schwab alike. We grappled with the ongoing health crisis, a contracting U.S. economy, and sustained pressures on interest rates, yet there were some encouraging signs as the quarter progressed, including domestic equity markets recovering to pre-pandemic levels. Whatever path the crisis takes from here, our focus on clients has been and will remain unwavering, even as almost 95% of our employees continue to work remotely. Our compelling ‘no trade-offs’ approach to combining value, service, transparency, and trust helped sustain strong business momentum during the second quarter. We gathered $137.4 billion in net new assets, with core net new assets totaling $46.6 billion before including the effects of the USAA acquisition and a large mutual fund clearing inflow. Aided by ongoing engagement across both of our primary businesses, as well as an extended tax-filing season, our year-to-date core net new assets reached $119.8 billion, representing a 6% annualized organic growth rate for the first half. Our staff and systems continued to accommodate heavy volumes during the second quarter as investors utilized our contemporary full-service model – we handled over 230 million more client interactions across web, mobile, chat, and messaging versus a year ago. We also supported strong daily trading activity, which averaged 1.6 million for the second quarter, up 126% year-over-year. While volatility subsided from March’s peak levels, access to our investment professionals remained very much in demand, with Schwab Intelligent Portfolios Premium® planning appointments increasing 30% from a year earlier. Total active brokerage accounts ended June at 14.1 million, up 18% year-over-year, which includes the addition of 1.1 million USAA member accounts to our platform when that transaction closed. Renewed strength in equity market valuations, along with our ongoing asset-gathering and approximately $80 billion in client assets transferred from USAA, helped push total client assets to a record $4.11 trillion at June 30th, up 11% year-over-year.”

Mr. Bettinger added, “Providing investors with innovative solutions to help them build their financial futures remains at the forefront of our ‘Through Clients’ Eyes’ strategy across all environments. As part of this ongoing effort, we introduced Schwab Stock SlicesTM, a simple and engaging way to buy fractional shares of any S&P 500® stock in amounts as small as $5 and with no transaction fee. Shortly thereafter, we announced the acquisition of the technology and intellectual property of Motif to help us unlock the flexibility of personalized thematic investing, build upon our real-time fractional share trading abilities, and continue our work towards developing a comprehensive direct indexing solution that will complement Schwab’s diverse suite of advice offerings. Our unique blend of people and technology across those offerings has helped build overall client balances receiving ongoing advisory services by 8% year-over-year to $2.09 trillion. Within that total, client utilization of our digital advisory solutions remained strong, with balances up 12% versus a year ago to $45.9 billion at June 30th. In our Advisor Services business, we launched integrations with leading Health Savings Account providers, enabling advisors to manage their clients’ investments via a Schwab brokerage window. We also introduced a number of enhanced workflows as part of Schwab Advisor Center® aimed at improving processing times. Such improvements allow advisors to set up account features digitally, including Schwab MoneyLink® and Limited Power of Attorney, making it easier to complete tasks securely, quickly, and with fewer errors.”

Mr. Bettinger concluded, “Recent weeks have included a string of M&A milestones for our firm, each representing another step on our path of building a more capable Schwab. In addition to closing the USAA and Motif transactions, we also brought Wasmer Schroeder in-house, adding a leading investment manager of fixed income separate accounts to Schwab’s advisory line-up. Moreover, we made significant progress on our pending acquisition of TD Ameritrade, with the completion of the Department of Justice antitrust review and affirmative votes by both Schwab and TD Ameritrade stockholders. Our teams are working diligently on integration planning efforts and we remain on track for closing during the second half of this year. Pulling off four acquisitions in close succession, concurrent with sustained progress on our other initiatives to build scale and efficiency, further diversify our revenues, and enhance our product and service capabilities across client segments, would be challenging enough under the most favorable conditions. Doing all of this in the face of today’s headwinds is especially rewarding because we know pushing ahead is the right thing to do – the company will emerge stronger and even better positioned to serve the needs of individual investors and independent advisors. We have the talent, experience, and leadership needed across the firm to stay on offense, and I’m excited to be working with this team in writing the next chapter of Schwab’s story.”

CFO Peter Crawford commented, “Our results thus far in 2020 reflect the company’s ability to convert ongoing success with clients into solid financial performance even as strong environmental headwinds weigh on revenues. As the impact of the Fed’s dramatic monetary easing during March extended across the yield curve, the further compression in asset returns outweighed growth in client cash sweep balances from both ongoing asset gathering and the USAA acquisition, driving a 14% year-over-year decline in net interest revenue to $1.4 billion. We were able to limit that decline somewhat by working throughout the quarter to move over $30 billion out of excess reserves at the Fed and investing those balances at higher yields within our bank securities portfolio. We ended the quarter with excess reserves at the Fed of $27.5 billion at month-end June, or 9% of total deposits, versus a longer-term objective of approximately 5%-7%. Asset management and administration fees increased 2% year-over-year to $801 million as a result of clients’ increased utilization of money market funds and higher balances in advisory solutions, including managed account assets transferred from USAA. These increases more than offset the effect of money market fund fee waivers due to declining portfolio yields, lower Mutual Fund OneSource® balances, and pressured equity market valuations at the beginning of the quarter. Trading volume remained elevated in the second quarter compared with a year ago – if not at the record shattering heights experienced in March 2020 – but the impact of our October 2019 pricing actions still led to a 7% year-over-year decline in trading revenue to $193 million. Overall, total revenues contracted 9% from a year earlier to $2.5 billion, while reported expenses rose 8% to $1.6 billion. Noteworthy contributors to our second quarter expense growth included $39 million in USAA acquisition and integration-related costs, $42 million in other acquisition costs, and $12 million in amortization of acquired intangibles. Exclusive of these items (1), adjusted total expenses were $1.5 billion, up 2% year-over-year, largely consistent with the expectations we laid out during our Spring Business Update. Overall, we produced a 36.2% pre-tax profit margin (40.0% on an adjusted basis) and 10% return on equity (12% ROTCE). Though we are not immune to external headwinds, these results reinforce our confidence that disciplined management of the levers under our control will enable us to sustain a balance between near-term profitability and appropriate investment for ongoing growth.”

Mr. Crawford concluded, “During the second quarter, we remained intent on maintaining an all-weather balance sheet with healthy liquidity and capital levels. The sharp pandemic-driven increase in client sweep deposits during the first quarter was followed by more modest balance sheet expansion over the past three months, and after adding approximately $10 billion of USAA client cash to our deposits we ended June with total assets of $400 billion, up 8% from month-end March. We further solidified our capital mix during the quarter by issuing $2.5 billion of preferred stock at an initial fixed rate of 5.375%, bringing total preferred outstanding to $5.3 billion, or approximately 17% of stockholders’ equity. The company’s preliminary Tier 1 leverage ratio was 5.9% at quarter end, remaining well above regulatory minimums. So we continue to operate from a position of strength while our priorities for balance sheet management remain consistent and clear: ensure we have the capital and flexibility to support our ongoing growth, integrate our acquisitions, and continue investing in our clients regardless of how the operating environment unfolds.”

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(In millions, except ratios and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), Schwab’s second quarter earnings release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information about the financial performance of the Company, and facilitate meaningful comparison of Schwab’s results in the current period to both historic and future results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

Schwab’s use of non-GAAP measures is reflective of certain adjustments made to GAAP financial measures as described below.

Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure

 

Definition

Usefulness to Management and Investors

Acquisition and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets

Schwab adjusts certain GAAP financial measures to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related costs incurred as a result of the Company’s completed and pending business acquisitions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and, where applicable, the income tax effect of these expenses.

 

Adjustments made to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets are reflective of all acquired intangible assets, which were recorded as part of purchase accounting. These acquired intangible assets contribute to the Company’s revenue generation. Amortization of acquired intangible assets will continue in future periods over their remaining useful lives.

We exclude acquisition and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets for the purpose of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe doing so provides additional transparency of Schwab’s ongoing operations, and may be useful in both evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating comparison of results with prior and future periods.

 

Acquisition and integration-related costs fluctuate based on the timing of acquisitions and integration activities, thereby limiting comparability of results among periods, and are not representative of the costs of running the Company’s on-going business. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of the Company’s underlying operating performance.

Return on tangible common equity

Return on tangible common equity represents annualized adjusted net income available to common stockholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill, acquired intangible assets — net, and related deferred tax liabilities.

Acquisitions typically result in the recognition of significant amounts of goodwill and acquired intangible assets. We believe return on tangible common equity may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure to facilitate assessing capital efficiency and returns relative to the composition of Schwab’s balance sheet.

The following tables present reconciliations of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures:
