THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)



Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC) is a savings and loan holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Schwab” or the “Company”), in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services.

Significant business subsidiaries of CSC include the following:

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (CS&Co), a securities broker-dealer;
Charles Schwab Bank (CSB), a federal savings bank; and
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab’s proprietary mutual funds (Schwab Funds®) and Schwab’s exchange-traded funds (Schwab ETFs™).

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Schwab,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean CSC together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Schwab provides financial services to individuals and institutional clients through two segments – Investor Services and Advisor Services. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage and banking services to individual investors, and retirement plan services, as well as other corporate brokerage services, to businesses and their employees. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, banking, and support services, as well as retirement business services, to independent registered investment advisors (RIAs), independent retirement advisors, and recordkeepers.
Schwab was founded on the belief that all Americans deserve access to a better investing experience. Although much has changed in the intervening years, our purpose remains clear – to champion every client’s goals with passion and integrity. Guided by this purpose and the aspiration of creating the most trusted leader in investment services, management has adopted a strategy described as “Through Clients’ Eyes.”

Under this approach, our strategic goals are focused on putting clients’ perspectives, needs, and desires at the forefront. Because investing plays a fundamental role in building financial security, we strive to deliver a better investing experience for our clients – individual investors and the people and institutions who serve them – by disrupting longstanding industry practices on their behalf and providing superior service. We aim to offer a broad range of products and solutions to meet client needs with a focus on transparency and value. In addition, management works to couple Schwab’s scale and resources with ongoing expense discipline to keep costs low and ensure that products and solutions are affordable as well as responsive to client needs. Finally, we seek to maximize our market valuation and stockholder returns over time.

Management estimates that investable wealth in the United States (U.S.) currently exceeds $30 trillion, which means the Company’s $3.31 trillion in client assets leaves substantial opportunity for growth. Our strategy is based on the principle that developing trusted relationships will translate into more assets from both new and existing clients, ultimately driving more revenue, and along with expense discipline, will generate earnings growth and build long-term stockholder value.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (2017 Form 10-K).

On our website, www.aboutschwab.com, we post the following filings after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy, and other information that we file electronically with the SEC.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “may,” “estimate,” “appear,” “could,” “would,” and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s beliefs, objectives, and expectations as of the date hereof, are estimates based on the best judgment of Schwab’s senior management. These statements relate to, among other things:
Schwab seeking to maximize its market valuation and stockholder returns over time; our belief that developing trusted relationships will translate into more client assets which drives revenue and, along with expense discipline, generates earnings growth and builds stockholder value (see Introduction in Part I, Item 2);
Capital expenditures in 2018 (see Results of Operations);
The expected impact of new accounting standards not yet adopted (see New Accounting Standards in Part I, Item 1, Financial Information – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Item 1) – Note 2);
The likelihood of indemnification and guarantee payment obligations (see Commitments and Contingencies in Item 1 – Note 9); and
The impact of legal proceedings and regulatory matters (see Commitments and Contingencies in Item 1 – Note 9 and Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1).

Achievement of the expressed beliefs, objectives, and expectations described in these statements is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expressed beliefs, objectives, and expectations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or, in the case of documents incorporated by reference, as of the date of those documents.

Important factors that may cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to:
General market conditions, including the level of interest rates, equity valuations, and trading activity;
Our ability to attract and retain clients, develop trusted relationships, and grow client assets;
Client use of our investment advisory services and other products and services;
The level of client assets including cash balances;
Competitive pressure on pricing, including deposit rates;
Client sensitivity to interest rates;
Regulatory guidance;
Timing, amount, and impact of migration of certain balances from sweep money market funds into bank sweep deposits;
Capital and liquidity needs and management;
Our ability to manage expenses;
Our ability to develop and launch new products, services, and capabilities in a timely and successful manner;
The effect of adverse developments in litigation or regulatory matters and the extent of any related charges; and
Potential breaches of contractual terms for which we have indemnification and guarantee obligations.

Certain of these factors, as well as general risk factors affecting the Company, are discussed in greater detail in Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors in the 2017 Form 10-K.

(1) The three months ended March 31, 2018 includes outflows of $84.4 billion from certain mutual fund clearing services clients.

Net income for the first quarter of 2018 grew 39% from the same period in 2017 driven primarily by sustained business momentum, higher interest rates, and lower corporate income taxes. Total revenues rose 15% due to increases in all major sources of revenue as a result of strong organic growth, client engagement, and the economic environment. Total expenses grew 13%, reflecting higher spending to support the expanding investor base and higher client assets, as well as a $15 million charge associated with unsecured client margin losses in volatility-related products during early February. Altogether, we achieved a 240 basis point gap between revenue and expense growth, which resulted in a 41.8% pre-tax profit margin; combined with a lower tax rate of 21.9%, we delivered net income of $783 million for the first quarter of 2018, up $219 million from a year ago.

During the first quarter of 2018, clients opened 443,000 new brokerage accounts, helping to bring active brokerage accounts to 11.0 million at March 31, 2018. Excluding planned mutual funding clearing outflows of $84.4 billion, core net new assets gathered during the first quarter of 2018 were $65.6 billion, compared to $38.9 billion for the same period a year ago. Client engagement remained strong during the first quarter of 2018, with daily average revenue trades rising 46% from the same period in 2017.

We also transferred approximately $25 billion from sweep money market funds to bank sweep deposits and paid off $15 billion in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The net effect of these moves and client activity lifted our consolidated balance sheet assets to $248 billion at March 31, 2018. Our financial results, combined with the benefits of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act), lifted our first quarter return on equity to 18% compared to 15% for the same period in 2017.

(2) Amounts have been calculated based on amortized cost.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Net interest revenue increased $263 million, or 26%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 primarily due to higher interest rates and growth in interest-earning assets. 
Our net interest margin improved to 2.12% during the first quarter of 2018, up from 1.87% a year earlier as a result of the Federal Reserve’s 2017 and March 2018 interest rate hikes, partially offset by higher interest rates paid on bank deposits and short-term borrowings.
In the first quarter of 2018, average interest earning assets grew 10% compared to the same period in 2017. This increase was driven by higher bank deposits from net client flows and bulk transfers, as well as higher short-term borrowings.

(1) Includes Schwab ETF OneSource™.
(2) Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017, a change was made to add non-fee based average assets from managed portfolios. Average client assets for advice solutions may also include the asset balances contained in the mutual fund and/or ETF categories listed above. Prior periods have been adjusted to accommodate this change.
(3) Includes various asset-related fees, such as trust fees, 401(k) recordkeeping fees, and mutual fund clearing fees and other service fees.

Asset management and administration fees increased by $28 million, or 3%, in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, due to growing balances in advised solutions, equity and bond funds, and ETFs, partially offset by lower money market fund revenue as a result of bulk transfers to bank sweep deposits and fee reductions in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The following table presents a roll forward of client assets for the Schwab money market funds, Schwab equity and bond funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and Mutual Fund OneSource® and other non-transaction fee (NTF) funds. These funds generated 50% of the asset management and administration fees earned during the first quarter of 2018, compared to 54% for the same period in 2017:

DART volumes increased 46% in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the prior year. This led to an increase in trading revenue of 5%, as the volume growth more than offset Schwab’s commission pricing reductions implemented in the first quarter of 2017. At that time, Schwab announced two trading price reductions which lowered standard equity, ETF, and option trade commissions from $8.95 to $4.95 and lowered the per contract option fee from $.75 to $.65.

Other Revenue

Other revenue includes order flow revenue, other service fees, software fees from our portfolio management solutions, exchange processing fees, and non-recurring gains. Order flow revenue was $38 million and $27 million during the first quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Total compensation and benefits increased in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to an increase in employee headcount to support our expanding customer base as well as annual salary increases.

Professional services expense increased in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to an increase in asset management and administration related expenses resulting from growth in the Schwab Funds® and Schwab ETFs™ and higher spending on technology projects.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to an increase in software maintenance expenses and additional licenses to support growth in the business.
Depreciation and amortization expenses grew in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to higher amortization of internally developed software associated with our investment in software and technology enhancements.
Regulatory fees and assessments increased in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to an increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance assessments, which rose as a result of higher average assets.

Other expenses increased in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to a $15 million charge associated with unsecured client margin losses in volatility-related products and other miscellaneous expense growth related to the growing client asset base.

Capital expenditures were $135 million and $67 million in the first quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures from the prior year was due to our office campus expansion in the U.S. and investments in technology projects. As we continue to pursue our geographic strategy, we anticipate increasing capital expenditures for full-year 2018 from our typical range of 3-5% of total net revenues to approximately 6-7%.

Taxes on Income

Taxes on income were $219 million and $279 million for the first quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively, resulting in effective income tax rates on income before taxes of 21.9% and 33.1%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the Tax Act which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the Tax Act lowered the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective for tax years including or commencing January 1, 2018.

Total net revenues rose by 17% in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to increases in net interest revenue and asset management and administration fees. Net interest revenue increased primarily due to higher net interest margins and higher interest-earning assets. Asset management and administration fees increased primarily due to higher client assets enrolled in advisory solutions partially offset by lower money market fund revenue.

Expenses excluding interest increased by 12% in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, due to higher compensation and benefits, technology project spend, and asset management and administration related expenses to support our expanding client and asset base.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Schwab’s business activities expose us to a variety of risks, including operational, credit, market, liquidity, and compliance risk. The Company has a comprehensive risk management program to identify and manage these risks and their associated potential for financial and reputational impact. For a discussion of our risk management programs, see Item 7 – Risk Management in the 2017 Form 10-K.

Net Interest Revenue Simulation

For Schwab’s net interest revenue sensitivity analysis, we use net interest revenue simulation modeling techniques to evaluate and manage the effect of changing interest rates. The simulation includes all interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. Key variables in the simulation include the repricing of financial instruments, prepayment, reinvestment, and product pricing assumptions. The simulations involve assumptions that are inherently uncertain and, as a result, cannot precisely estimate net interest revenue or predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest revenue. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to balance growth or decline and the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies, including changes in asset and liability mix.

If our guidelines for net interest revenue sensitivity are breached, management must report the breach to the Financial Risk Oversight Committee and establish a plan to address the interest rate risk. There were no breaches of Schwab’s net interest revenue sensitivity risk limits during the three months ended March 31, 2018, or year ended December 31, 2017.

As represented by the simulations presented below, our investment strategy is structured to produce an increase in net interest revenue when interest rates rise and, conversely, a decrease in net interest revenue when interest rates fall.

The simulations in the following table assume that the asset and liability structure of the consolidated balance sheets would not be changed as a result of the simulated changes in interest rates. As we actively manage the consolidated balance sheets and interest rate exposure, in all likelihood we would take steps to manage additional interest rate exposure that could result from changes in the interest rate environment. The following table shows the simulated net interest revenue change over the next 12 months beginning March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of a gradual 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates at the end of each reporting period:

The change in net interest revenue sensitivities as of March 31, 2018 reflects the increase in interest rates across all maturities.

Liquidity Risk

Schwab’s primary source of funds is cash generated by client activity: bank deposits and cash balances in client brokerage accounts. These funds are used to purchase investment securities and extend loans to clients.

Other sources of funds may include cash flows from operations, maturities and sales of investment securities, repayments on loans, securities lending of assets held in client brokerage accounts, and cash provided by external debt or equity financing.
 
To meet daily funding needs, we maintain liquidity in the form of overnight cash deposits and short-term investments. For unanticipated liquidity needs, a buffer of highly liquid investments, currently comprised of U.S. Treasury notes, is also maintained.

In addition to internal sources of liquidity, Schwab has access to external funding. The following table describes external debt facilities available at March 31, 2018:

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Schwab seeks to manage capital to a level and composition sufficient to support execution of our business strategy, including anticipated balance sheet growth, providing financial support to our subsidiaries, and sustained access to the capital markets, while at the same time meeting our regulatory capital requirements, and serving as a source of financial strength to our banking subsidiaries. Schwab’s primary sources of capital are funds generated by the operations of subsidiaries and securities issuances by CSC in the capital markets. To ensure that Schwab has sufficient capital to absorb unanticipated losses or declines in asset values, we have adopted a policy to remain well capitalized even in stressed scenarios.

(1) CSC and CSB have elected to opt out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in Common Equity Tier 1 Capital.

CSB is also subject to regulatory requirements that restrict and govern the terms of affiliate transactions. In addition, CSB is required to provide notice to, and may be required to obtain approval from, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve to declare dividends to CSC.

Schwab’s primary broker-dealer subsidiary, CS&Co, is subject to regulatory requirements of the Uniform Net Capital Rule. At March 31, 2018, CS&Co exceeded its net capital requirements.

In addition to the capital requirements above, Schwab’s subsidiaries are subject to other regulatory requirements intended to ensure financial soundness and liquidity. See Item 1 – Note 16 for additional information on the components of stockholders’ equity and information on the capital requirements of significant subsidiaries.

OTHER

Foreign Holdings
At March 31, 2018, Schwab had exposure to non-sovereign financial and non-financial institutions in foreign countries, as well as agencies of foreign governments. At March 31, 2018, the fair value of these holdings totaled $6.8 billion, with the top three exposures being to issuers and counterparties domiciled in France at $2.4 billion, Sweden at $1.9 billion, and Canada at $0.6 billion. Our holdings of securities issued by agencies of foreign governments are explicitly guaranteed by the governments of the issuing agencies.
In addition to the direct holdings in foreign companies and securities issued by foreign government agencies, Schwab has indirect exposure to foreign countries through its investments in CSIM money market funds (collectively, the Funds) resulting from brokerage clearing activities. At March 31, 2018, Schwab had $59 million in investments in these Funds. Certain of the Funds’ positions include certificates of deposit, time deposits, commercial paper, and corporate debt securities issued by counterparties in foreign countries. Additionally, at March 31, 2018, Schwab had outstanding margin loans to foreign residents of $880 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Schwab enters into various off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business, primarily to meet the needs of its clients. These arrangements include firm commitments to extend credit. Additionally, Schwab enters into guarantees and other similar arrangements in the ordinary course of business. For information on each of these arrangements, see Item 1 – Note 5, Note 6, Note 8, Note 9, and Note 10, and Item 8 – Note 13 in the 2017 Form 10-K.
