SCHWAB REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Client Assets Total $2.52 Trillion, up $216 Billion Year-over-Year

 

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15, 2015The Charles Schwab Corporation announced today that its net income for the first quarter of 2015 was $302 million, down 14% from $350 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, and down 7% from $326 million for the first quarter of 2014.  These results lag the outlook expressed in the company’s press release dated March 13, 2015, primarily due to the earlier timing of certain compensation expenses.

CEO Walt Bettinger said, “Our strong client momentum continued in the first quarter of 2015, as our innovative, full-service model continued to resonate with investors.  We gathered $34.2 billion of core net new assets during the first quarter, a 6% annualized organic growth rate.  Net new assets from retail investors were the highest since the first quarter of 2008, totaling $12.5 billion, up 16% sequentially and 28% year-over-year.  Clients have now entrusted us with assets totaling $2.52 trillion – 9% above the March 2014 level.  In addition, clients opened 274,000 new brokerage accounts, up 6% year-over-year.  As March ended, we were serving 9.5 million active brokerage accounts, 986,000 banking accounts, and 1.5 million retirement plan participants, up 3%, 6% and 10%, respectively, from year-earlier levels.”

 

“We continued to build awareness of our wealth management capabilities during the first quarter, and client balances receiving ongoing advisory services kept growing faster than assets overall,” Mr. Bettinger continued.  “At quarter-end, $1.06 trillion was under the guidance of a registered independent advisor and $188.4 billion was enrolled in one of our retail or other advisory solutions, up 9% and 18%, respectively, over the first quarter of 2014.  Significantly, while our Client Promoter Score from retail investors reached a record 52 in the first quarter, the score from those clients enrolled in one of our advisory services averaged 6 points higher at 58.”

 

Mr. Bettinger added, “We launched Schwab Intelligent Portfolios on March 9th, continuing our tradition of innovation on behalf of investors.  Intelligent Portfolios is the only fully automated investment advisory service using sophisticated computer algorithms to build, monitor, and rebalance diversified portfolios based on an investor’s stated goals, time horizon and risk tolerance without charging any advisory fees, commissions, or account service fees;

24/7/365 live professional assistance is included.  Thus far, individual investor enrollments are running well ahead of our initial expectations, and we look forward to launching Institutional Intelligent Portfolios for our RIA clients in the second quarter of 2015.  Also during the first quarter, we expanded Schwab ETF OneSource, the largest commission-free ETF platform, to offer 18 more ETFs.  Investors can now trade 198 ETFs covering 64 Morningstar Categories for $0 online trade commissions.  Schwab ETF OneSource balances reached $47.1 billion as of quarter-end, up 65% from a year ago.  Within that total, our proprietary ETF balances reached $31.0 billion by quarter-end.  Total ETF balances at Schwab were $252.4 billion at month-end March, up 19% year-over-year.  We also launched Trade Source for our more actively trading clients, bringing them the information they need to make investing decisions via a more efficient, powerful tool that is accessible on a browser or tablet.  Trade Source provides a customized set of relevant updates for traders based on their own holdings and watch lists, enables them to select preferences for viewing information, and remembers those preferences for future sessions.”

 

CFO Joe Martinetto commented, “Even as our business growth remained strong, environmental factors contributed to a disappointing rate of revenue growth for the first quarter.  Our revenue picture was shaped by an environment that included volatile equity market performance, largely flat-to-lower interest rates, and client trading activity that slowed as the quarter progressed.  While that trading slowdown resulted in an 8% decline in trading revenue from the first quarter of 2014, our continued strength in gathering client assets helped asset management and administration fees and net interest revenue increase by 5% and 6%, respectively, resulting in 3% overall revenue growth for the quarter.  Our 2015 expense planning included increased first quarter spending on both a sequential and year-over-year basis driven by strong business growth and a fully-funded project list, including the development and launch of Schwab Intelligent Portfolios.  Our plans also incorporated seasonal effects such as payroll tax resets, our annual health savings account contribution, typical salary adjustments and higher marketing outlays relating to Intelligent Portfolios, as mentioned in our March 13th SMART report.  Closing out the quarter, actual expenses for the period also reflected an accelerated 401(k) match as more employees chose to fund their contributions from annual bonuses paid in March and the company moved to match contributions by pay period instead of annually, as well as the earlier recognition of certain equity-based incentives due to plan changes.”

 

“These additional items increased our first quarter expenses by $13 million relative to our March 13th commentary,” Mr. Martinetto said.  “Between the effects of the environment on our revenue and our overall spending, the company’s pre-tax profit margin was 31.7% for the first quarter.  While we will continue to monitor our spending levels in view of our developing revenue picture, our expected overall expense growth remains at a modest pace of approximately 4% for 2015 and we are well positioned to translate business growth into improving financial performance as the year continues.”

 

Mr. Martinetto noted, “We bolstered our balance sheet liquidity during the first quarter by issuing $1 billion in long term debt comprised of $625 million in 1.50% senior notes due in three years, and $375 million in 3.00% senior notes due in ten years; the majority of the proceeds were invested in term Treasury Notes.  Also during the quarter, we completed a $2 billion bulk transfer of sweep balances from broker/dealer Schwab One® accounts to Schwab Bank.  Average interest-earning assets were $149.4 billion for the first quarter of 2015, up 9% from a year ago.  With quarter-end stockholders equity of $12.2 billion and a preliminary consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 6.8%, we continue to maintain a healthy balance sheet capable of supporting the company’s ongoing growth.”
