CEO Walt Bettinger said, “With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing, daily life as we’ve known it has been upended, both world-wide and here in the U.S. As the impact of this virus reaches into every corner of our population and economy, our thoughts are with our clients and employees, as well as their families, our communities, and of course the healthcare professionals and first responders helping us face down the crisis. While we at Schwab are also dealing with the pandemic as individuals, we are committed to being there to serve our clients, providing the help and perspectives essential for them to move forward amidst these unique circumstances. I am incredibly proud and grateful to be part of a team that has persistently balanced their personal challenges with sustaining our “Through Clients’ Eyes” strategy and supporting unprecedented levels of engagement.

“We’ve been up and running day after day, without significant disruption, as our clients entrusted us with $73.2 billion in core net new assets during the first quarter, up 42% year-over-year and a first quarter record. In addition, our clients opened a record 609,000 new brokerage accounts – over 280,000 in March alone – bringing total active

- 1 -

brokerage accounts at quarter end to 12.7 million, up 8% from March 2019. At the same time, our clients continued to set multiple single-day records for trading, resulting in 27 of the 30 highest volume days in our history – including every trading day in March. During the quarter we handled a peak of 4.0 million trades on March 12^th and a 217% year-over-year increase in daily average trades for March alone. They also connected with us across our various communication channels, with Retail call volumes increasing 16% – reaching the highest levels measured since 2003 – and mobile logins up approximately 35% from a year ago. With the S&P 500 experiencing its worst quarter since 2008, client asset valuations were inevitably impacted; total client assets ended March at $3.50 trillion, down 2% from a year ago.”

Mr. Bettinger added, “In the first quarter of 2020 we relied on the enhanced resiliency and flexibility of our technology systems as they withstood monumental volumes – a direct result of ongoing investments made as part of our multi-year Digital Transformation and Application Modernization efforts. For example, through the implementation of password reset automation, we reduced reset-related calls from an average of 12% of Retail volume down to 5%, freeing up capacity to better support our clients.

“We also continue to seek opportunities to deliver more value to clients even as environmental headwinds grow. Early in the year, we launched Schwab Intelligent Income^TM providing clients with an intuitive, low-cost way to generate a predictable paycheck during retirement, or any other time, from their investment portfolios – initial enrollments are running at approximately twice the average portfolio balance of other Schwab Intelligent Portfolio Solutions^TM. In late February, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Wasmer Schroeder, which will add established strategies and new separately managed account offerings to our existing fixed income lineup. Both of these advisory solutions are part of our continuing work to build differentiated asset management capabilities to better meet our clients’ needs.

“Consistent with our pledge to support independent advisors of all sizes, we recently launched Virtual Practice Management. This on-demand learning experience leverages Schwab’s deep expertise in identifying core business issues to help advisors master critical concepts and prioritize next steps to differentiate and build their practices, as well as implement lasting changes that can enable them to grow, compete, and succeed.”

“Our unwavering focus on continuing to earn our clients’ trust is made possible by the significant contributions of thousands of dedicated employees during these turbulent times,” Mr. Bettinger concluded. “We recognize that this is uncharted territory for us all, with uncertainty in the financial markets inextricably linked with concerns regarding everyone’s health. We are committed to serving our clients and protecting our employees’ wellbeing at the same time. Given current conditions, approximately 95% of our employees are working remotely, and, in addition to other measures, we’ve made a $1,000 payment to all non-officer employees to help them cover extraordinary costs incurred due to the pandemic. We don’t know how events will unfold from here, but we do know that Schwab is financially strong and growing – with a business model positioned to weather circumstances like this pandemic-related storm. I have every confidence that we’ll emerge from this successfully as we all – management, employees, clients, and stockholders – support each other in the days ahead.”

CFO Peter Crawford commented, “We continue to drive strong, profitable growth and long-term stockholder value by executing our “Through Clients’ Eyes” strategy. Our first quarter financial results were shaped by a very challenging economic environment in which the decade-long bull market ended – with the S&P falling 20% during the period and the Federal Reserve cutting the target overnight rate 150 basis points to near zero in an emergency effort to help shield the economy amid pandemic concerns. Net interest revenue of $1.6 billion declined 6% year-over-year, due to pressure across the yield curve accelerating late in the quarter, which outweighed the impact of significantly higher levels of client cash sweep balances. Given the rapid accumulation of these balances late in the quarter, we’ve initially placed a substantial amount in excess reserves at the Fed; such balances totaled $58.7 billion at month-end March, up from $18.8 billion at year-end 2019. Asset management and administration fees of $827 million rose 10% year-over-year, largely due to our clients’ sustained utilization of advisory solutions along with increased balances in purchased money funds, which helped offset sharp declines in equity market valuations. Trading revenue, which we are now reporting inclusive of order flow revenue, was 13% lower than the year earlier period at $188 million. This decline stems from our October 2019 pricing actions, partially offset by the dramatic increase in transactions.”

“Alongside this evolving revenue picture, our spending was impacted by the extraordinary environment,” Mr. Crawford added. “Total expenses of $1.6 billion were up 8% year-over-year. This total included approximately $27 million, or $.02 per share, for the employee award and other compensation and business continuity expenses relating to our pandemic response. Our first quarter expenses also included $37 million relating to our pending acquisitions. While other volume-related costs rose as well, we can see the benefits of our ongoing investments in scale and efficiency reflected in Schwab’s ability to support client activity levels which could have overwhelmed a less capable platform. In addition to the record new accounts, asset flows, and trading that Walt discussed above, during the quarter we also handled over 190 million more client interactions across web, mobile, chat, and messaging versus a year ago, increases ranging from approximately 28% to 80%, with essentially the same headcount. Our longstanding focus on scale and efficiency has helped us begin the year with a 40.0% pre-tax profit margin and remains an important strength as we balance near-term profitability with continued reinvestment for long-term growth.”

Mr. Crawford concluded, “Regardless of the environment, our priorities for balance sheet management remain intact, including supporting our ongoing growth while also maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity and capital. With first quarter market volatility driving a significant influx of client cash, our balance sheet expanded by $77 billion during the quarter to $371 billion at March 31^st. Consistent with optimizing liquidity management during heightened volatility, we issued 5- and 10-year senior notes totaling $1.1 billion during March. The company’s preliminary Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 6.9% as of month-end March, consistent with our operating objective of 6.75%-7.00%. Our 14% return on equity to start 2020 was hampered in part by an increase in Stockholders’ equity driven by mark-to-market gains in investment securities. Overall, we’re facing the storm from a position of strength and expect to remain on offense – driving long-term value by protecting our business momentum, as well as thoughtfully managing the investments in our business necessary to sustain and enhance our all-weather model.”
