WESTLAKE, Texas--()--The Charles Schwab Corporation announced today that its net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.3 billion, compared with $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2021, and $671 million for the second quarter of 2020. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $2.7 billion, compared with $1.5 billion for the year-earlier period. The company’s financial results include TD Ameritrade from closing on October 6, 2020 forward, as well as certain acquisition and integration-related costs and the amortization of acquired intangibles. For the second quarter and first half of 2021, these transaction-related expenses totaled $298 million and $571 million, respectively, on a pre-tax basis. In addition, the company’s second quarter of 2021 results included a non-deductible charge of $200 million, or $.10 per share, regarding a previously disclosed regulatory matter.

CEO Walt Bettinger said, “Schwab’s strong business momentum is sustained by the power of our contemporary full-service model as it continues to attract new clients and deepen existing relationships. During the second quarter, signs of normalcy took root across the U.S. as vaccinations accelerated, social activities largely resumed, and people started returning to corporate offices. At the same time, equity markets continued their ascent, with both the S&P 500® and NASDAQ® achieving record highs during the quarter, while longer-term interest rates fluctuated as investors digested economic recovery data and recent Federal Reserve commentary. Against this evolving backdrop, we continued to support highly engaged investors even as activity levels moderated from the first quarter surge. Clients opened 1.7 million new brokerage accounts in the second quarter, representing our third consecutive quarter in excess of a million new accounts when excluding M&A activity. Daily trade volume averaged 6.0 million over the same period – a 28% slowdown on the heels of the record first quarter, yet a still-impressive 4% increase over the fourth quarter of 2020, when we included TD Ameritrade for the first time. At the same time, both independent advisors and individual clients contributed to our total core net new assets of $108.8 billion, up 133% from a year ago – the highest second quarter in our history and a particularly noteworthy result when considering the impact of seasonal tax-related outflows. Our first half core net new assets reached $257.0 billion, a total which is more than double the first half of 2020 and implies a year-to-date organic growth rate of 8%. Total client assets ended June at a record $7.57 trillion, up 7% from the prior record set three months earlier, and up 84% year-over-year.”

Mr. Bettinger added, “Our full-service model embraces an omni-channel approach – aiming to blend the best elements of human interaction and technology so that clients can access us where, when, and how they choose. Our branch network remains integral to our approach, and we successfully re-opened nearly all of our 406 branches, including 80 independent branches during the second quarter. Additionally, we continue to further diversify our offerings and push forward on our key strategic initiatives via our recent acquisitions. The TD Ameritrade integration is on track, and we’ve rolled out the newly combined Schwab Advisor Network® consisting of a nationwide array of independent advisory firms with a range of capabilities to serve the specialized needs of high and ultra-high net worth investors. Following the early 2021 launch of Wasmer SchroederTM Strategies, client demand has accelerated, with net inflows more than doubling sequentially to $2.2 billion in the second quarter. Finally, our referral program for USAA members has proven a steady source of new accounts with open rates of 5,000 per month on average. Entering the second half of 2021, our focus remains firmly on clients. As we help them work towards their financial goals, strive to meet their service expectations, and drive forward on all of our integration efforts, we are simultaneously building the future of modern wealth management.”

CFO Peter Crawford commented, “We continue to deliver solid financial performance through a combination of ongoing success with clients and sustained expense discipline. On the revenue front, net interest revenue grew 2% versus the first quarter of 2021 as modest growth in interest-earning assets, as well as higher bank and margin loan utilization, helped offset the Federal Reserve’s ongoing Zero Interest Rate Policy and persistent prepayment activity within our investment portfolio. In addition, strong asset gathering and sustained growth in advisory solution enrollments pushed asset management and administration fees up 3% sequentially. Trading revenue fell 21% as client activity stepped down from the dramatic surge of the prior quarter, but still remained quite strong relative to past levels. Total revenues contracted 4% quarter-over-quarter to $4.5 billion. Looking at expenses, typical compensation-related seasonality and the slowdown in client engagement from earlier in 2021 helped shape our second quarter spending as we concurrently worked to enhance service capacity and make progress on our integration efforts. Total GAAP expenses increased 2% sequentially to $2.8 billion for the quarter, including $144 million in acquisition and integration-related costs and $154 million in amortization of acquired intangibles. Exclusive of these items (1), adjusted total expenses were up 1%. The sequential increases in GAAP and adjusted expenses both reflect the $200 million regulatory matter charge. We once again effectively balanced near-term profitability with reinvestment for future growth. Our 38.0% pre-tax profit margin – 44.6% on an adjusted basis (1) – marked the 25th consecutive quarter in excess of 35%.”

Mr. Crawford concluded, “We maintained a consistent approach to balance sheet management during the second quarter as we continued to support organic growth and prepared for initial bank deposit account migrations, which have totaled $9.9 billion to date. We supplemented our funding mix in the second quarter by issuing $2.25 billion in long-term senior notes and repaying $1.2 billion in similar debt that matured in May. In addition, we redeemed our $600 million Series C preferred stock in June. Consolidated balance sheet assets were $575 billion at June 30th, up 2% from the first quarter, and our preliminary Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was flat at 6.4%. The company’s 10% return on equity and 20% ROTCE (1) for the quarter reflect our ability to sustain the healthy financial performance, strong balance sheet, and efficient capital management necessary to build long-term value for both clients and stockholders.”

Note: The above table reflects the recognition of TD Ameritrade’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed at provisional fair value as of October 6, 2020. Results of operations and metrics are inclusive of TD Ameritrade beginning October 6, 2020.

(1)

Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, amortization of acquired intangible assets was reclassified from depreciation and amortization. Prior periods have been reclassified to reflect this change.

(2)

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company had voting and nonvoting common stock outstanding. As the participation rights, including dividend and liquidation rights, are identical between the voting and nonvoting stock classes, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each class.

(3)

Return on average common stockholders’ equity is calculated using net income available to common stockholders divided by average common stockholders’ equity.

(4)

Revenue per trade is calculated as trading revenue divided by DATs multiplied by the number of trading days.

N/M Not meaningful. Percentage changes greater than 200% are presented as not meaningful.

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 Investors and Uses by Management

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 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 is 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 ongoing 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.

Beginning in 2021, the Company also uses adjusted diluted EPS and return on tangible common equity as components of performance criteria for employee bonus and certain executive management incentive compensation arrangements. The Compensation Committee of CSC’s Board of Directors maintains discretion in evaluating performance against these criteria.
