−Removed: Trading revenue totaled $930 million and $2.8 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, down 4% and 11% from the same periods in 2021, due primarily to changes in the mix of client trading activity, and, for the year-to-date period, lower DATs in 2022 relative to the extraordinary client trading volume seen early in 2021.

+Added: Adjusted total expenses (1) were $2.8 billion, increasing 7% from the first quarter of 2022.

The increases in both return on average common stockholders’ equity and ROTCE were due primarily to lower stockholders’ equity and higher net income.

+Added: The Company continued its diligent approach to balance sheet management in the first quarter of 2023 to maintain capital and liquidity required to support Schwab’s long-term growth.

+Added: During the first quarter of 2023, we increased our quarterly common dividend by 14% to $.25 per share, and returned capital via common and preferred stock repurchases, which totaled $2.8 billion and $467 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2023.

−Removed: Integration of TD Ameritrade

−Removed: Integration work continued during the first nine months of 2022.
−Removed: Based on our current integration plans and expanded scope of technology work, the Company now expects to complete most client conversions across multiple groups over the course of 2023, with certain client groups to be completed in early 2024.
−Removed: We now expect to incur total acquisition and integration-related costs and capital expenditures of between $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion, which reflects increased costs resulting from incremental complexity in conversion work, due in part to the replacement of certain vendor resources following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as well as overall inflationary pressures.
The Company’s estimates of the nature, amounts, and timing of recognition of acquisition and integration-related costs remain subject to change based on a number of factors, including the expected duration and complexity of the integration process and the continued uncertainty of the economic environment.
More specifically, factors that could cause variability in our expected acquisition and integration-related costs include the level of employee attrition and availability of third-party labor, workforce redeployment from eliminated positions into open roles, changes in the levels of client activity, as well as changes in the scope and cost of technology and real estate-related exit cost variability due to effects of changes in remote working trends.
−Removed: Acquisition and integration-related costs, which are inclusive of related exit costs, totaled $101 million and $291 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, and $104 million and $367 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively.
−Removed: Over the course of the integration, we continue to expect to realize annualized cost synergies of between $1.8 billion and $2.0 billion, and, through September 30, 2022, we have achieved over half of this amount on an annualized run-rate basis.
−Removed: The Company expects to realize the vast majority of the remaining estimated cost synergies by the end of 2024.
+Added: Acquisition and integration-related costs, which are inclusive of related exit costs, totaled $98 million and $96 million for the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
+Added: Over the course of the integration, we expect to realize annualized cost synergies of between $1.8 billion and $2.0 billion, and, through March 31, 2023, we have achieved approximately 75% of this amount on an annualized run-rate basis.
+Added: The Company expects to realize the vast majority of the remaining estimated cost synergies by the end of 2024, with anticipated full year synergy realization beginning in 2025.
Estimated timing and amounts of synergy realization are subject to change as we progress in the integration.

−Removed: Results of the Federal Reserve’s 2022 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review
−Removed: In June 2022, the Company received the results of the Federal Reserve’s 2022 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR).
−Removed: These results included the Federal Reserve’s estimate of CSC’s minimum capital ratios under the supervisory severely adverse scenario for the nine-quarter horizon beginning December 31, 2021 and ending March 31, 2024.
−Removed: Based on these results, CSC’s calculated stress capital buffer was below the 2.5% minimum, resulting in a stress capital buffer at the 2.5% floor.
−Removed: This 2.5% stress capital buffer became applicable on October 1, 2022.
−Removed: See Item 1 – Note 16 for additional information regarding our capital requirements.
−Removed: Inflation Reduction Act of 2022:

−Removed: Among many other items, the Inflation Reduction Act imposes a nondeductible 1% excise tax on a publicly traded corporation on the fair market value of certain stock that it repurchases, net of issuances, effective for repurchases after December 31, 2022.
−Removed: The Company believes share repurchases made under its current repurchase authorization beginning in 2023 will become subject to this tax.
−Removed: We expect to recognize the tax as a direct and incremental cost associated with these transactions.
−Removed: For repurchases of common stock, we expect the tax will be recorded as part of the cost basis of the treasury stock repurchased, resulting in no income statement impact.
−Removed: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Assessment Rate Increase
−Removed: In October 2022, the FDIC adopted a final rule to increase the initial base deposit insurance assessment rates by 2 basis points, beginning with the first quarterly assessment period of 2023.
−Removed: The FDIC has stated that this change is intended to raise the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) reserve ratio to the minimum threshold within the FDIC’s established DIF restoration plan, and will remain in effect until the DIF reserve ratio meets the FDIC’s long-term goal of 2%.
−Removed: A 2 basis point increase in the initial base deposit insurance assessment rate will result in a corresponding increase in regulatory fees and assessments, as well as a corresponding decrease in bank deposit account fee revenue based on IDA balances.
+Added: Refer to Part II – Item 7 – Overview in our 2022 Form 10-K, Results of Operations – Total Expenses Excluding Interest, Non-GAAP Financial Measures, and Item 1 – Note 10 for additional information regarding our integration of TD Ameritrade.

+Added: In accordance with the IDA agreements, cash held in eligible brokerage client accounts is swept off-balance sheet to deposit accounts at the TD Depository Institutions.
+Added: Schwab provides recordkeeping and support services to the TD Depository Institutions with respect to the deposit accounts for which Schwab receives an aggregate monthly fee.
+Added: Under the 2023 IDA agreement, the service fee on client cash deposits held at the TD Depository Institutions remains at 15 basis points, as it was in the 2019 IDA agreement.
+Added: As the 2023 IDA agreement was entered into on May 4, 2023, the results included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are pursuant to the 2019 IDA agreement.
+Added: Disclosures regarding the Company’s future obligations reflect the terms of the 2023 IDA agreement.
+Added: See Capital Management and Commitments and Contingencies in Item 1 – Note 9 for additional information on the IDA agreements.
+Added: Current Regulatory and Other Developments
+Added: In December 2022, the SEC proposed a set of four related equity market structure rules that would make significant changes to how national market system (NMS) stock orders are priced, executed and reported.
+Added: The four proposed rules are described below.
+Added: • The “Order Competition Rule” would require that, before most individual investors’ orders could be executed internally by a trading center (like wholesaler market makers), those orders must first be exposed to a qualifying order-by-order auction in which both market makers and institutional investors can participate.
+Added: • “Regulation Best Execution” would establish an SEC-level best execution standard (in addition to the existing FINRA and MSRB best execution rules) for broker-dealers and require them to establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures addressing how the broker-dealer will comply with the best execution standard and make routing or execution decisions for customer orders.
+Added: Regulation Best Execution would apply not only to equities, but to all securities.
+Added: • Amendments to Rule 605 of Regulation NMS requiring enhanced disclosures of order execution quality for large brokers that handle retail orders.
+Added: • A rule to (i) amend minimum pricing increments (or tick sizes) that would apply to both the quoting and trading of NMS stocks, (ii) reduce the exchange access fee caps, and (iii) require transparency of odd-lots.
+Added: The comment periods for the proposed rules ended on March 31, 2023 and the impact to Schwab cannot be assessed until the final rules are released.

+Added: In November 2022, the SEC proposed a rule that would require substantial changes to the liquidity risk management programs for open-end mutual funds other than money market funds (funds) and require them to implement “swing pricing” and impose a “hard close” on the acceptance of purchase and redemption orders.
+Added: Swing pricing would require funds to adjust the fund’s current net asset value (NAV) per share by a “swing factor” if the fund has either (i) net redemptions (no threshold) or (ii) net purchases that exceed a specified threshold (2% of the fund’s net assets).
+Added: To implement the swing pricing requirements, the proposed rule also would require that a fund, its transfer agent, or a registered clearing agency receive purchase and redemption orders prior to the time the fund has established for determining the NAV, typically market close, in order to receive a given day’s NAV (a “hard close”).
+Added: Current practices permit fund orders received by a financial intermediary prior to the fund cut-off time to be transmitted to the fund after the fund cut-off time and for the order to receive that day’s NAV.
+Added: Under the proposed rule, orders received by the fund, its transfer agent or registered clearing agency after the fund cut-off time would receive the next day’s NAV.
+Added: The comment period for the proposed rule ended on February 14, 2023 and the impact to Schwab cannot be assessed until the final rule is released.
+Added: In May 2022, the federal banking agencies issued a joint notice of proposed rulemaking that would substantially revise how an insured depository institution’s Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) performance is evaluated.
+Added: The proposed rule includes revisions relating to the delineation of assessment areas, the overall evaluation framework and performance standards and metrics, the definition of community development activities and data collection and reporting.
+Added: The comment period for the proposed rule ended on August 5, 2022 and the impact to Schwab cannot be assessed until the final rule is released.

−Removed: Schwab establishes the rates paid on client-related liabilities, and management expects that it will generally adjust the rates paid on these liabilities at some fraction of any movement in short-term rates.
−Removed: Interest expense on long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and other funding sources is impacted by market interest rates at the time of borrowing and changes in interest rates on floating-rate debt.
−Removed: Interest rates increased significantly from year-end 2021 through September 30, 2022.
−Removed: Short-term rates were near zero until the Federal Reserve began its aggressive tightening cycle in response to rising inflation beginning in March 2022, ultimately increasing the federal funds target overnight rate five times between March and September for a total increase of 300 basis points, while long-term interest rates increased throughout the first nine months of the year.
−Removed: Schwab continued to see strength in net new client assets during the first nine months of 2022, which, along with transfers of BDA balances to the Company’s balance sheet (see Bank Deposit Account Fees), drove growth in Schwab’s average interest-earning assets in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 relative to the same periods in 2021.
−Removed: Partially offsetting this growth, we experienced significant seasonal tax outflows in the second quarter, and, due to the rapid increases to the federal funds overnight rate, changes in client cash allocations increased in the third quarter which resulted in a total decrease in bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients of 9% during the third quarter and 11% since year-end 2021.
−Removed: In recent quarters, the Company increased its cash holdings and reduced the duration of incremental investment securities purchases, which has provided flexibility to support such changes in client cash allocations associated with higher short-term interest rates.

+Added: Short-term rates were near zero until the Federal Reserve began its aggressive tightening cycle in March 2022 in response to rising inflation, ultimately increasing the federal funds target overnight rate nine times between March 2022 and March 2023 for a total increase of 475 basis points.
+Added: Long-term interest rates increased throughout 2022 and the first three months of 2023, though at a slower pace, leading to an inverted yield curve.
+Added: Schwab’s average interest-earning assets in the first quarter of 2023 were lower compared with the first quarter of 2022 due primarily to client cash allocation movement to higher yielding investment solutions beginning in the second quarter of 2022 through the first quarter of 2023, which resulted primarily from the rapid increases to the federal funds overnight rate.
+Added: These changes in client cash allocations reduced average balances of bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients.
+Added: To support this client cash allocation activity, the Company utilized temporary supplemental funding in the fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, including drawing upon FHLB secured lending facilities and issuing brokered CDs.

+Added: With the increases in market interest rates, net premium amortization of investment securities decreased to $185 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $486 million in the first quarter of 2022.
+Added: These benefits were partially offset by higher rates paid on funding sources, increased usage of FHLB borrowings, other short-term borrowings, and brokered CDs to support client cash allocations in the rising rate environment, and lower balances of interest-earning assets.
+Added: Average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2023 were lower by 20% compared to the same period in 2022.
+Added: This decrease was primarily due to lower bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients as a result of changes in client cash allocations due to higher market interest rates.

−Removed: The transfer of these balances to our balance sheet, as well as client cash allocation decisions in response to higher short-term market interest rates in the second and third quarters of 2022, led to the decrease in average BDA balances in the first nine months of 2022 compared with the first nine months of 2021.

+Added: Bank deposit account fees decreased $143 million, or 49%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to breakage fees of $97 million incurred as a result of ending the other third-party bank arrangements, the decrease in average floating-rate BDA balances, and an increase in the amount paid to clients due to higher interest rates.
+Added: These factors contributed to the decrease in average net yield in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
+Added: The decrease in average BDA balances in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to client cash allocation decisions in response to rising short-term market interest rates throughout 2022 and into the first quarter of 2023.
+Added: The percentages of BDA balances designated as fixed-rate and floating-rate obligation amounts as of March 31, 2023 were 98% and 2%, respectively.

Net interest revenue is affected by various factors, such as the distribution and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the spread between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which may reprice at different times or by different amounts, and the spread between short- and long-term interest rates.
2 unchanged sentences
Because we establish the rates paid on certain brokerage client cash balances and bank deposits and the rates charged on certain margin and bank loans, and control the composition of our investment securities, we have some ability to manage our net interest spread, depending on competitive factors and market conditions.
+Added: When we have liquidity needs that exceed our primary sources of funding, the Company has needed to utilize higher cost funding sources, which can reduce net interest margin and net interest revenue.
Net interest revenue sensitivity analysis assumes the asset and liability structure of the consolidated balance sheet would not be changed as a result of the simulated changes in interest rates.
−Removed: As we actively manage the consolidated balance sheet 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.
−Removed: The following table shows the simulated change to net interest revenue over the next 12 months beginning September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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:
−Removed: September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021
+Added: While this approach is useful to isolate the impact of changes in interest rates on a statically-sized asset and liability structure, it does not capture changes to client cash allocations.
+Added: We conduct simulations on EVE to capture the impact of client cash allocation changes on our balance sheet.
+Added: As we actively manage the consolidated balance sheet and interest rate exposure, we have taken and would typically seek to take steps to manage additional interest rate exposure that could result from changes in the interest rate environment.
+Added: Higher short-term interest rates would generally positively impact net interest margin as yields on interest-earning assets are expected to rise faster than the cost of funding sources.
+Added: If the cost of funding sources is greater than the increased revenue from repricing assets, however, net interest margin can be reduced.
+Added: A decline in short-term interest rates could negatively impact the yield on the Company’s investment and loan portfolios to a greater degree than any offsetting reduction in interest expense from funding sources, compressing net interest margin.
+Added: The following table shows simulated changes to net interest revenue over the next 12 months beginning March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of a gradual increase or decrease in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates at the end of each reporting period:

+Added: Increase of 100 basis points 5.0 % 3.6 %
+Added: Increase of 50 basis points 2.5 % 1.7 %
Decrease of 50 basis points (2.7) % (1.5) %
−Removed: The Company’s simulated increase of 100 basis points in market interest rates had a lower impact on net interest revenue as of September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 primarily due to increased sensitivity to the Company’s higher projected client deposit rates and decreased sensitivity to the Company’s mortgage-backed investment securities.
−Removed: A simulated decrease of 100 basis points in market interest rates had a slightly larger impact on net interest revenue as of September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 primarily due to increased sensitivity from a higher allocation to cash and short-term investments.
−Removed: This increased sensitivity was partially offset by higher starting client deposit rates which, relative to the December 31, 2021 simulation, provide greater responsiveness to lower simulated interest rates.
−Removed: Higher short-term interest rates would positively impact net interest revenue as yields on interest-earning assets are expected to rise faster than the cost of funding sources.
−Removed: A decline in interest rates could negatively impact the yield on the Company’s investment and loan portfolio to a greater degree than any offsetting reduction in interest expense from funding sources, compressing net interest margin.
−Removed: In addition to measuring the effect of a gradual 100 basis point parallel increase or decrease in current interest rates, we regularly simulate the effects of larger parallel- and non-parallel shifts in interest rates on net interest revenue.
+Added: Decrease of 100 basis points (4.4) % (3.2) %
+Added: Decrease of 200 basis points (7.9) % (6.7) %
+Added: The Company’s simulated incremental increases in market interest rates had a larger impact on net interest revenue as of March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 primarily due to higher cash balances, which was partially offset by an increased allocation to FHLB borrowings and other short-term borrowings across the Company’s banking subsidiaries.
+Added: Simulated incremental decreases in market interest rates had a larger impact on net interest revenue as of March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 primarily due to higher cash balances, while increased allocation to shorter-term liabilities contributed to lower interest expense in a lower rate environment.
+Added: In addition to measuring the effect of gradual parallel increases or decreases in current interest rates, we regularly simulate the effects of non-parallel shifts and instantaneous shifts of interest rates on net interest revenue.
+Added: Bank Deposit Account Fees Simulation
+Added: Consistent with the presentation on the consolidated statement of income, the sensitivity of bank deposit account fee revenue to interest rate changes is assessed separately from the net interest revenue simulation described above.
+Added: As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, simulated changes in bank deposit account fee revenue from gradual changes in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates, under the interest rate scenarios described above for net interest revenue, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s total net revenues.

+Added: Key assumptions in our EVE calculation include projection of interest rate scenarios with rate floors, prepayment speeds of mortgage-related investments, term structure models of interest rates, behavior of non-maturity client cash held on the balance sheet, and pricing assumptions.
Our net interest revenue, bank deposit account fee revenue, and EVE simulations reflect the assumption of non-negative investment yields.
+Added: Effective Duration
+Added: Effective duration measures price sensitivity relative to a change in prevailing interest rates, taking account of amortizing cash flows and prepayment optionality for mortgage-related securities and loans.
+Added: Duration is measured in years and commonly interpreted as the average timing of principal and interest cash flows.
+Added: We seek to manage the Company’s asset duration in relation to management’s estimate of the Company’s liability duration.
+Added: The Company’s liability duration is impacted by the composition of funding sources, and typically decreases in periods of rising market interest rates and increases in periods of declining market interest rates.
