CEO Walt Bettinger said, “Schwab’s third quarter results reflect the continued success of our ‘through clients’ eyes’ strategy and our contemporary approach to helping clients manage their wealth. As we helped investors navigate recent market volatility, we also drove solid business growth. Core net new assets were $30.8 billion in the third quarter, bringing our year-to-date total to $102.0 billion. In addition, clients opened 254,000 new brokerage accounts, up 11% year-over-year. Faced with economic uncertainty and the resulting market volatility, investors increasingly turned to our advice offerings throughout the quarter. Approximately 36,000 accounts enrolled in one of our retail advisory solutions during the last three months, 57% more than the year-earlier period, and total accounts using these solutions reached 550,000, up 13% year-over-year. Total client assets were $2.42 trillion, up 1% from a year ago, reflecting the $117.5 billion impact of reduced market valuations on client portfolios over the last 12 months. We finished the quarter serving 9.7 million brokerage accounts, 1.0 million banking accounts, and 1.5 million retirement plan participants, up 4%, 6% and 6%, respectively, from a year ago.”
“Schwab has built out a wide range of full-service investing and wealth management capabilities to support investors through market conditions like those experienced this August,” Mr. Bettinger continued. “During that month, the S&P 500® dropped 11% in six trading days and the CBOE Volatility Index® spiked to 41 on the 24th after averaging 14 for the prior four weeks. Throughout this period, we proactively engaged investors across multiple channels to discuss developments and appropriate courses of action. Schwab’s senior investment strategists and other experts shared our point of view through a series of published perspectives; TV, radio and print news stories; and recorded video commentaries. As volatility peaked, we reached out to over 4.5 million clients and prospects via email, helping connect them with our insights and service representatives. During the week of August 24th, client and prospect visits to our website increased 35% and 58%, respectively, from the prior week. At the same time, total calls to Schwab representatives increased 26%.”
Mr. Bettinger added, “While providing these resources for dealing with market turbulence, Schwab continued with ongoing initiatives to enhance our clients’ financial lives, including the security of their accounts and assets. For nearly 10 years, Schwab has provided a Security Guarantee that covers 100% of any losses in Schwab accounts due to unauthorized activity. To better support our clients’ desire to be active partners in safe online security practices, we recently introduced SchwabSafe™, an online resource with perspectives and tips on cyber security. In the third quarter, we also announced the addition of one new ETF provider – J.P. Morgan Asset Management – and nine new ETFs to Schwab ETF OneSource™. This expansion gives investors more choice within two popular categories: currency-hedged ETFs and strategic beta funds across U.S. and international markets. Schwab ETF OneSource continues to provide investors and advisors with access to the most commission-free ETFs anywhere in our industry.”
CFO Joe Martinetto commented, “Our diversified revenue sources continued to support solid financial performance during the third quarter, even in the face of deteriorating equity market valuations. Broad market declines limited asset management and administration fees to $663 million, or 2% growth year-over-year. At the same time, however, the environment helped drive strong growth in our other two main revenue sources. Organic balance sheet growth and a slight uptick in short term interest rates contributed to net interest revenue of $635 million, up 11% from the third quarter of 2014. August market volatility, which culminated in a record number of client revenue trades on the 24th, helped lift trading revenue to $228 million, up 9%. Total net revenues of $1.6 billion represent a record for a third quarter, as well as a 3% increase from a year ago. Our third quarter expenses of $1.0 billion kept us on track for planned full-year expense growth of approximately 4% and enabled us to produce a pre-tax profit margin of 36.5%, our highest since the fourth quarter of 2008. We recognized net tax benefits of approximately $14 million in the third quarter relating to certain prior-year matters. Overall, net income totaled $376 million, the highest quarter in our history save those affected by the sale of US Trust. Our year-to-date earnings of $1.0 billion are also the highest in our history despite the mixed revenue environment that has unfolded in 2015.”
Mr. Martinetto concluded, “In the midst of heightened economic uncertainty and market volatility, our financial discipline remains the same – managing the levers that are under our control to ensure flexibility, continuing to maintain a healthy balance sheet, and actively working to more effectively monetize client cash balances. We are in the process of utilizing our recent $600 million preferred issuance to support approximately $4.0 billion in bulk transfers of cash sweep balances from money market funds to Schwab Bank. We completed the first $1.1 billion transfer in September, and plan to move the remainder during the fourth quarter.”
