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. CSC engages, through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Schwab or the Company), in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services.
Principal business subsidiaries of CSC include the following:
• Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (CS&Co), incorporated in 1971, a securities broker-dealer;
• TD Ameritrade, Inc., an introducing securities broker-dealer;
• TD Ameritrade Clearing, Inc. (TDAC), a securities broker-dealer that provides trade execution and clearing services to TD Ameritrade, Inc.;
• Charles Schwab Bank, SSB (CSB), our principal banking entity; and
• Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab’s proprietary mutual funds (Schwab Funds ® ) and for 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, investment advisory, and banking and trust 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 trust, 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 our vision of creating the most trusted leader in investment services, management has adopted a strategy described as “Through Clients’ Eyes.”
This strategy emphasizes placing 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 also aim to offer a broad range of products and solutions to meet client needs with a focus on transparency, value, and trust. 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. In combination, these are the key elements of our “no trade-offs” approach to serving investors. We believe that following this strategy is the best way to maximize our market valuation and stockholder returns over time.
Management estimates that investable wealth in the United States (U.S.) (consisting of assets in defined contribution, retail wealth management and brokerage, and registered investment advisor channels, along with bank deposits) currently exceeds $60 trillion, which means the Company’s $8.02 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 and thoughtful capital management, 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, 2022 (2022 Form 10-K).
On our website, https://www.aboutschwab.com , we post the following filings after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or Commission): 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.

Schwab saw sustained strong client engagement and momentum during the second quarter and first six months of 2023 through an evolving macroeconomic environment. Under its monetary tightening policy, the Federal Reserve raised the Federal Funds rate twice in the first quarter and once in the second quarter for a total of 75 basis points. Investor sentiment was bearish throughout the first quarter, especially following the onset of banking industry turmoil in early March, but turned positive by the end of the second quarter, and Schwab’s clients were net buyers of equities in June. Equity markets continued to rise from year-end 2022 levels in the second quarter, with the S&P 500 ® increasing 8% and 16% during the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively.
Core net new assets totaled $52.2 billion in the second quarter of 2023, bringing year-to-date asset gathering to $183.9 billion, representing an annualized organic growth rate of over 5%. Total client assets were $8.02 trillion at June 30, 2023, up 14% from year-end 2022, supported by sustained asset gathering as well as market value gains. Trading volume was lower throughout the first half of 2023 relative to the same period in 2022. Clients’ daily average trades (DATs) were 5.3 million and 5.6 million in the second quarter and first half of 2023, respectively, down 15% and 13% from the respective prior periods.

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
Clients opened 960 thousand and 2.0 million new brokerage accounts in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, bringing active brokerage accounts to 34.4 million at quarter-end, up 1% year-over-year. Schwab’s financial performance in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 reflected effects of significantly increased interest rates and improvement in equity market valuations.
Net income totaled $1.3 billion and $2.9 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, down 28% and 9% from the same periods in 2022. The Company produced diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $.64 and $1.48 in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, down 26% and 4% from the comparable periods in the prior year. Adjusted diluted EPS (1) , which excludes acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and related income tax effects, was $.75 and $1.68 in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, down 23% and 3% from the comparable 2022 periods.
Total net revenues were $4.7 billion in the second quarter of 2023, down 9% from the prior year, which brought the year-to-date total to $9.8 billion, up slightly from the first half of 2022. Net interest revenue was $2.3 billion and $5.1 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, down 10% and up 7% from the comparable periods in 2022, as the benefits of significantly higher interest rates were more than offset in the second quarter by increased utilization of supplemental funding to facilitate client cash allocation decisions and lower interest-earning assets. Asset management and administration fees totaled $1.2 billion and $2.3 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, rising 12% and 8% from the comparable periods in 2022 due to growth in money market funds, partially offset by lower balances in other third-party mutual funds and ETFs. Trading revenue was $803 million and $1.7 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, down 9% and 8% from the comparable periods in 2022 due primarily to lower trading volume and change in mix of client trading activity. Bank deposit account fee revenue was $175 million and $326 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, down 50% from both comparable periods in the prior year due to lower average BDA balances and lower net yields, as well as $97 million in one-time breakage fees related to ending our arrangements with certain third-party banks in the first quarter of 2023. BDA balances totaled $102.7 billion at June 30, 2023, down 19% from year-end 2022 due primarily to client cash allocation decisions. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company executed a Second Amended and Restated Insured Deposit Account Agreement (2023 IDA agreement) (see Results of Operations – Bank Deposit Account Fees).
Total expenses excluding interest were $3.0 billion and $6.0 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, increasing 5% and 6% from the same periods in 2022. Adjusted total expenses (1) were $2.7 billion and $5.5 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, also higher by 5% and 6% from the comparable prior-year periods. These increases reflected higher expenses for compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, and occupancy and equipment, due largely to investments in people and technology to support growth in the business and TD Ameritrade integration. Acquisition and integration-related costs were $130 million and $228 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, up 38% and 20% from the same periods in 2022 due primarily to real estate exit costs incurred in the second quarter of 2023. Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $134 million and $269 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, down 13% from both comparable periods in 2022 as certain assets from the TD Ameritrade acquisition were fully amortized at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2022.
Return on average common stockholders’ equity was 17% and 20% for the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, down from 19% and up from 15% from the same periods in 2022. Return on tangible common equity (1) (ROTCE) was 62% and 71% for the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, up from 45% and 32% in the same periods in 2022. These changes reflected lower stockholders’ equity and lower net income in 2023 compared with 2022. Stockholders’ equity was lower in the first six months of 2023 due to a year-over-year decrease in average AOCI driven by unrealized losses on our available for sale (AFS) portfolio and securities transferred from AFS to held to maturity (HTM) in 2022 (see Item 1 – Note 4).
The Company continued its diligent approach to balance sheet management throughout the first six months of 2023 to maintain capital and liquidity levels to sustain ongoing business momentum. Total balance sheet assets decreased 7% from year-end 2022 to June 30, 2023. Amid higher market interest rates in the first half of 2023, clients allocated assets to higher yielding cash and fixed income alternatives, and to facilitate these client cash movements and help build available cash, the Company utilized additional temporary funding sources including Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings and issuances of brokered CDs. Amounts outstanding under FHLB borrowings, other short-term borrowings, and brokered CDs increased by a total of
(1) Adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted total expenses, and return on tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results.

$6.8 billion from March 31 to June 30, 2023, though the outstanding balance of these temporary funding sources declined $6.9 billion from an intra-quarter peak in May to quarter-end, as the pace of client cash reallocations declined significantly during the second quarter. In addition, in May, the Company issued $2.5 billion in long-term debt which provided incremental liquidity to support growth and helped bolster our capital ratios at our banking subsidiaries. Concurrently, driven by a combination of the Company’s first-half net income and a smaller balance sheet, our consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio increased to 7.5% as of June 30, 2023.
Integration of TD Ameritrade
Effective October 6, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (TDA Holding) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “TD Ameritrade” or “TDA”). Integration work continued during the first six months of 2023, including the completion of client transition groups in February and May 2023. With the completion of the May transition group, which included more than five million client accounts, the Company has now transitioned approximately one-third of its TD Ameritrade client accounts to the Schwab platform. The Company expects to complete most remaining client transitions from TD Ameritrade to Schwab across two groups over the remainder of 2023, with the transition of a small client group in the first half of 2024. We expect to incur total acquisition and integration-related costs and capital expenditures of between $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion.
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.
Acquisition and integration-related costs, which are inclusive of related exit costs, totaled $130 million and $228 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, and $94 million and $190 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively. Over the course of the integration, we expect to realize annualized cost synergies of between $1.8 billion and $2.0 billion, and, through June 30, 2023, we have achieved approximately 75% of this amount on an annualized run-rate basis. 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. 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.
Other
In addition to cost synergies directly related to the integration of TD Ameritrade, the Company is planning incremental actions to streamline its operations to prepare for post-integration. Schwab is currently assessing its real estate footprint, and plans to close or downsize certain corporate offices. In addition, the Company plans to streamline its operational design, including through position eliminations. Through these actions, the Company expects to realize at least $500 million of incremental run-rate cost savings in addition to integration synergies. Refer to Results of Operations – Total Expenses Excluding Interest for additional information.
Current Regulatory and Other Developments
In July 2023, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in collaboration with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), issued a notice of proposed rulemaking for amendments to the regulatory capital rule. Among other things, the proposed rule would require us to include AOCI in regulatory capital and to calculate our risk-weighted assets using a revised risk-based approach, a component of which is based on operational risk , phased in over a three-year transition period beginning July 1, 2025 and ending July 1, 2028. The comment period for the proposed rule ends on November 30, 2023.
In May 2023, the FDIC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that would impose a special assessment to recover losses incurred by the Deposit Insurance Fund to protect uninsured depositors due to the March 2023 closures of two banks. Based on the proposed rule, the Company estimates its total special assessment would be approximately $160 million, which would be

paid over eight quarters beginning in the first quarter of 2024. Any special assessment will be recognized fully in earnings upon enactment of a final rule.
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. The four proposed rules are described below.
• 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.
• “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. Regulation Best Execution would apply not only to equities, but to all securities.
• Amendments to Rule 605 of Regulation NMS requiring enhanced disclosures of order execution quality for large brokers that handle retail orders.
• 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.
The comment periods for the proposed rules ended on March 31, 2023 and the impact to Schwab cannot be assessed until final rules are released.
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. 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). 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”). 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. 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. 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.
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. 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. 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.

Net Interest Revenue
Revenue on interest-earning assets is affected by various factors, such as the composition of assets, prevailing interest rates and spreads at the time of origination or purchase, changes in interest rates on floating-rate securities and loans, and changes in prepayment levels for mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities and loans. 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. Interest expense on long-term debt, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings, other 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 liabilities. See also Risk Management – Interest Rate Risk Simulations.
Interest rates increased significantly beginning late in the first quarter of 2022 through the second quarter of 2023. 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 ten times between March 2022 and May 2023 for a total increase of 500 basis points. Long-term interest rates increased throughout 2022 and the first six months of 2023, though at a slower pace, leading to an inverted yield curve.
Schwab’s average interest-earning assets in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 were lower compared with the same periods of 2022 due primarily to client cash allocation movement to higher yielding investment solutions beginning in the second quarter of 2022 through the second quarter of 2023, which resulted primarily from the rapid increases to the federal funds overnight rate. These changes in client cash allocations reduced average balances of bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients. To support this client cash allocation activity, the Company utilized temporary supplemental funding beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022 and during the first half of 2023, including drawing upon FHLB secured lending facilities and issuing brokered CDs. The average daily pace of client cash allocation out of sweep products into higher yielding investment solutions decreased significantly in the second quarter of 2023, and in June, the Company was able to accommodate these client cash movements without accessing additional FHLB borrowings or issuing additional brokered CDs.

(1) Amounts have been calculated based on amortized cost. Interest revenue on investment securities is presented net of related premium amortization.
(2) Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings are presented separately from other short-term borrowings. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect this change.
(3) Average balance and interest expense were less than $500 thousand in the prior period.
Net interest revenue decreased $254 million, or 10%, in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to utilization of higher cost funding sources including FHLB borrowings, other short-term borrowings, and brokered CDs to support client cash allocations in the rising rate environment, and lower average interest-earning assets, which more than offset the benefits of higher average yields on interest-earning assets. Net interest revenue in the first six months of 2023 increased $333 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher average yields on interest-earning assets, partially offset by utilization of higher cost funding sources and lower average interest-earning assets. With the increases in market interest rates during the first half of 2023, net premium amortization of investment securities decreased to $207 million and $392 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, from $382 million and $868 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively.
Average interest-earning assets for the second quarter and first six months of 2023 were lower by 22% and 21%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. These decreases were 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.
Net interest margin increased to 1.87% and 2.03% during the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, from 1.62% and 1.50% during the same periods in 2022. Higher market interest rates improved yields on interest-earning assets, which more than offset the higher rates paid across interest-bearing funding sources.
The Company’s higher average balances in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 of FHLB borrowings, other short-term borrowings, and brokered CDs resulted in higher funding costs. The Company currently expects its outstanding balances of supplemental funding sources to decrease between now and the end of 2024, with a limited portion remaining outstanding in early 2025. Additional higher cost supplemental funding may be necessary if client cash allocation movements increase, which

could reduce net interest revenue. See also Risk Management – Liquidity Risk, Item 1 – Note 7 Bank Deposits, and Item 1 – Note 8 Borrowings for additional information on these and other funding sources.

Asset management and administration fees increased by $121 million, or 12%, and $171 million, or 8%, in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. These increases were primarily a result of higher balances in Schwab money market funds and, for the first six months of 2023 , the elimination of fee waivers on those funds . Money market fund balances increased as clients shifted their cash allocations to higher yielding investment solutions, and money market fund fee waivers were eliminated during 2022, both due primarily to the Federal Reserve’s increases to the federal funds target overnight rate. These increases were partially offset by lower balances in other third-party mutual funds and ETFs.

Trading Revenue
Trading revenue includes commissions, order flow revenue, and principal transactions revenues. Commission revenue is affected by volume and mix of trades executed. Order flow revenue is comprised of payments received from trade execution venues to which our broker-dealer subsidiaries send equity and option orders. Order flow revenue is affected by volume and mix of client trades, as well as pricing received from trade execution venues. Principal transactions revenue is recognized primarily as a result of accommodating clients’ fixed income trading activity, and includes adjustments to the fair value of securities positions held to facilitate such client trading activity. Principal transactions revenue also includes unrealized gains and losses on cash and investments segregated for regulatory purposes.

Trading revenue decreased $82 million and $153 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. This change is primarily due to a decrease in commissions and order flow revenue resulting from lower client trading activity. Additionally, order flow revenue decreased due to a shift in the mix of client trading activity toward more lower-dollar equity trades and index options and futures and fewer single stocks. Partially offsetting these decreases, principal transactions revenue increased as a result of higher volume in fixed income trading and higher market interest rates.
Bank Deposit Account Fees
The Company earns bank deposit account fee revenue from TD Bank USA, National Association and TD Bank, National Association (together, the TD Depository Institutions). These fees are affected by changes in interest rates and the composition of balances designated as fixed- and floating-rate obligation amounts.
On May 4, 2023, the Company executed the 2023 IDA agreement with the TD Depository Institutions that replaced and superseded the previous agreement dated November 24, 2019, as amended (the 2019 IDA agreement). In accordance with the 2023 IDA agreement, cash held in eligible brokerage client accounts is swept off-balance sheet to deposit accounts at the TD Depository Institutions, consistent with the 2019 IDA agreement. 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. 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. See Item 1 – Note 9 for additional discussion of the 2023 IDA agreement.

In January 2023, the Company ended its arrangements with other third-party banks to simplify bank sweep operations ahead of the first TD Ameritrade client transition group in February 2023. In addition, the FDIC implemented a 2-basis-point increase to the initial base deposit insurance assessment rate, which became effective for the first quarterly assessment period in 2023. This increase in the FDIC’s deposit insurance assessment results in a decrease to bank deposit account fee revenue, dependent on BDA balance levels.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
Bank deposit account fees decreased $177 million, or 50%, and $320 million, or 50%, in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The decreases were primarily due to breakage fees of $97 million incurred during the first quarter of 2023 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. These factors also contributed to the decrease in average net yield in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. The decreases in average BDA balances in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 were primarily due to client cash allocation decisions in response to rising short-term market interest rates throughout 2022 and through the second quarter of 2023. The percentages of BDA balances designated as fixed-rate and floating-rate obligation amounts as of June 30, 2023 were 94% and 6%, respectively.
Other Revenue
Other revenue includes exchange processing fees, certain service fees, other gains and losses from the sale of assets, and the provision for credit losses on bank loans.
Other revenue decreased $45 million and $24 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, due to the impact of changes to exchange processing fees and net losses on sales of AFS securities, partially offset by lower provision for credit losses on bank loans and certain service fees. Exchange processing fees decreased in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 as a result of an SEC fee rate decrease which became effective February 27, 2023, and decreased the fee rate by approximately 65% from the rate in effect since May 2022. Exchange processing fees were higher during the first six months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to a higher average SEC fee rate in effect during the first quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses on bank loans was lower in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, as loan loss factors and the total balance of first lien residential real estate mortgage loans (First Mortgages) remained consistent with year-end 2022. The Company’s provision for credit losses on bank loans in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 reflected increased loan loss factors driven primarily by higher forecasted interest rates at the start of the Federal Reserve’s monetary tightening, as well as growth in the loan portfolio. In addition, other revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 included gains of $37 million and $46 million, respectively, on the sale of Schwab Compliance Technologies, Inc. and certain investments.

Expenses excluding interest increased by $146 million, or 5%, and $319 million, or 6%, in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. Adjusted total expenses, which excludes acquisition and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets, increased 5% and 6% in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results.
Total compensation and benefits expense increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to growth in employee headcount to support our expanding client base and TDA client account transitions, as well as annual merit increases. These increases were partially offset by lower incentive compensation. Compensation and benefits included acquisition and integration-related costs of $48 million and $53 million in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $106 million and $109 million in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Professional services expense increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to increased utilization of professional services to support overall growth of the business and enhancement to technological infrastructure to support our expanding client base, as well as the TDA integration and client account transitions. Professional services included acquisition and integration-related costs of $41 million and $35 million in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $74 million and $66 million in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to an increase in software maintenance and other agreements as well as other technology equipment costs to support growth of the business and the integration of TD Ameritrade. Occupancy and equipment included acquisition and integration-related costs of $10 million and $4 million in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $14 million and $8 million in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Advertising and market development expense decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. These decreases were primarily due to lower client promotional spending for TD Ameritrade.

Communications expense increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. These increases were primarily a result of client communications related to TDA account transitions completed during the second quarter.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily as a result of higher amortization of purchased and internally developed software and higher depreciation of hardware, driven by capital expenditures in 2022 and the first six months of 2023 to support the TDA integration and enhance our technological infrastructure to support growth of the business.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, as certain assets from the TDA acquisition were fully amortized by the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2022.
Regulatory fees and assessments increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily as a result of a 2-basis-point increase to the FDIC deposit insurance assessment rate, which became effective for the first quarterly assessment period in 2023.
Other expense decreased in the second quarter of 2023 and increased in the first six months of 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. The decrease in the second quarter was primarily due to lower exchange processing fees, partially offset by impairment of leased assets related to facility closures. Exchange processing fees decreased in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 as a result of an SEC fee rate decrease which became effective February 27, 2023, and decreased the fee rate by approximately 65% from the rate in effect since May 2022. The increase in other expense in the first six months of 2023 was primarily a result of impairment of leased assets related to facility closures and higher exchange processing fees. Exchange processing fees were higher during the first six months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to a higher average SEC fee rate in effect during the first quarter of 2023. Other expense included acquisition and integration-related costs of $20 million and $22 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively.
Capital expenditures were $168 million and $339 million in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $355 million and $548 million for the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Capital expenditures decreased when compared to heightened integration-related spend in 2022 in preparation for TDA client account transitions. These decreases were partially offset by higher purchased software to enhance our technological infrastructure to support our expanding client base. We continue to anticipate capital expenditures for full-year 2023 will be approximately 3-4% of total net revenues.
With significant progress now made in the integration of TD Ameritrade, the Company is planning incremental actions to streamline its operations to prepare for post-integration. Schwab is currently assessing its real estate footprint, and plans to close or downsize certain corporate offices. In addition, the Company plans to reduce its operating costs primarily through lower headcount and professional services. The Company is still evaluating both its real estate locations and its organizational headcount, though Schwab expects to realize at least $500 million of total annual run-rate cost savings to be achieved through these actions. In order to achieve these cost savings, the Company will incur exit and related costs, which could be significant, primarily related to employee compensation and benefits and facility exit costs. The Company anticipates most costs related to position eliminations will be incurred in the second half of 2023, and costs related to real estate will be incurred in 2023 and 2024; however, amounts related to these planned actions are not yet estimable.
Taxes on Income
Taxes on income were $397 million and $481 million for the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 23.5% and 21.2%, respectively. Taxes on income were $904 million and $918 million for the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 23.8% and 22.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rates in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 was primarily related to a decrease in reserve releases in 2023, tax benefits recognized on the portion of a regulatory matter charge that was determined upon settlement to be deductible in the second quarter of 2022, and increased 2023 state tax expense.

Segment Net Revenues
Investor Services total net revenues decreased by 6% and increased by 1% in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, while Advisor Services total net revenues decreased by 16% and 4%, in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. Decreases in Investor Services and Advisor Services revenues for the second quarter were primarily driven by decreases in net interest revenue due to higher cost funding sources and certain lower average interest-earning asset balances, as described above. For the six-month period, the increase in Investor Services revenues was primarily driven by higher net interest revenue due to higher yields on interest-earning assets as described above, while Advisor Services net interest revenue was flat. Both segments saw a decrease in bank deposit account fees in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 due to lower average BDA balances and higher yields paid to clients, as well as, for the six-month period, breakage fees incurred as a result of ending certain third-party bank arrangements. Trading revenue decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 for both segments primarily due to lower client trading activity and changes in client trading mix, resulting in lower commissions and order flow revenue. Other revenue also decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 for both segments primarily due to gains on the sale of certain investments in 2022 and net losses on sales of AFS securities in 2023. These decreases were partially offset by increased asset management and administration fees in both segments in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, primarily as a result of higher money market fund balances and, for the six-month period, the elimination of money market fund fee waivers during 2022.

Segment Expenses Excluding Interest
Investor Services total expenses excluding interest increased by 4% in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, while Advisor Services total expenses excluding interest increased by 9% and 10% in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. Both segments saw higher compensation and benefits expenses due to increases in headcount to support our expanding client base and TDA client account transitions, and annual merit increases, partially offset by lower incentive compensation. Depreciation and amortization increased for both segments primarily due to higher amortization of purchased and internally developed software and higher depreciation of hardware, driven by capital expenditures in 2022 and the first six months of 2023 to enhance our technological infrastructure to support growth of the business. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased in both segments, primarily due to an increase in software maintenance and other agreements as well as other technology equipment costs to support growth of the business and the integration of TD Ameritrade. Both segments saw higher communications expenses due to client communications related to TDA account transitions and overall growth of the business. Regulatory fees and assessments increased in both segments in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to the FDIC deposit insurance assessment rate increase described above. In Investor Services, these increases were partially offset by lower amortization of acquired intangible assets as certain assets from the TDA acquisition became fully amortized in 2022.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Schwab’s business activities expose it to a variety of risks, including operational, compliance, credit, market, and liquidity risks. 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 Part II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management in the 2022 Form 10-K.
Market Risk
Market risk is the potential for changes in earnings or the value of financial instruments held by Schwab as a result of fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, or market conditions. Schwab is exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates within our interest-earning assets relative to changes in the costs of funding sources that finance these assets.
To manage interest rate risk, we have established policies and procedures, which include setting limits on net interest revenue risk and economic value of equity (EVE) risk. To remain within these limits, we manage the maturity, repricing, and cash flow characteristics of the investment portfolios. Management monitors established guidelines to stay within the Company’s risk appetite. In 2023, the Company began to utilize interest rate swap derivative instruments to assist with managing interest rate risk. For further information on our interest rate risk management strategies utilizing interest rate swaps, see Item 1 – Note 11.
Interest Rate Risk Simulations
Net Interest Revenue Simulation
For our net interest revenue sensitivity analysis, we use net interest revenue simulation modeling techniques to evaluate and manage the effect of changing interest rates. The simulations include all balance sheet interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. Key assumptions include the projection of interest rate scenarios with rate floors, rates and balances of non-maturity client cash held on the balance sheet, prepayment speeds of mortgage-related investments, repricing of financial instruments, and reinvestment of matured or paid-down securities and loans.
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. Interest-earning assets include investment securities, margin loans, bank loans, and cash and cash equivalents. These assets are sensitive to changes in interest rates and changes in prepayment levels that tend to increase in a declining rate environment and decrease in a rising rate environment. 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. 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. 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. We conduct simulations on EVE to capture the impact of client cash allocation changes on our balance sheet. 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.
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. If the cost of funding sources is greater than the increased revenue from repricing assets, however, net interest margin can be reduced. 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.
The following table shows simulated changes to net interest revenue over the next 12 months beginning June 30, 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:
June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Increase of 200 basis points 9.1 % 7.3 %
Increase of 100 basis points 4.5 % 3.6 %
Increase of 50 basis points 2.2 % 1.7 %
Decrease of 50 basis points (1.8) % (1.5) %
Decrease of 100 basis points (3.4) % (3.2) %
Decrease of 200 basis points (7.0) % (6.7) %
The Company’s simulated incremental increases in market interest rates had a larger impact on net interest revenue as of June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 primarily due to higher cash and margin loan balances, which was partially offset by an increased allocation to FHLB borrowings and other short-term borrowings across the Company’s banking subsidiaries. Simulated incremental decreases in market interest rates had a larger impact on net interest revenue as of June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 primarily due to higher cash and margin loan balances, while increased allocation to shorter-term liabilities contributed to lower interest expense in a lower rate environment.
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.
Bank Deposit Account Fees Simulation
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. As of June 30, 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.
Economic Value of Equity Simulation
Management also uses EVE simulations to measure interest rate risk. EVE sensitivity measures the long-term impact of interest rate changes on the net present value of assets and liabilities. EVE is calculated by subjecting the balance sheet to hypothetical instantaneous shifts in the level of interest rates. This analysis is highly dependent upon asset and liability assumptions based on historical behaviors as well as our expectations of the economic environment. 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.

Effective Duration
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. Duration is measured in years and commonly interpreted as the average timing of principal and interest cash flows. We seek to manage the Company’s asset duration in relation to management’s estimate of the Company’s liability duration. 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. The estimated effective duration of our AFS investment securities portfolio was approximately 2.4 years and 3.4 years as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The estimated effective duration for the Company’s total AFS and HTM investment securities portfolio was approximately 4.0 years and 4.1 years as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. AFS and HTM securities comprised approximately 57% of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of both June 30, 2023 and 2022. The estimated effective duration of the remaining balance sheet assets in aggregate was less than one year as of both June 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company’s estimated effective duration of consolidated total assets was approximately 2.5 years at June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Phase-out of LIBOR
Effective June 30, 2023, publication of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) ceased. While we completed all LIBOR transition work that could be done prior to June 30, 2023, we will continue to monitor and manage the LIBOR substitution for certain investment securities that we hold and the portfolio of legacy loans that we have for which scheduled interest rate resets or related interest rate transitions will occur in future periods. We will also monitor our financial models and systems that previously referenced LIBOR.
See also Part II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management in the 2022 Form 10-K.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the potential that Schwab will be unable to sell assets or meet cash flow obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses.
Due to its role as a source of financial strength, CSC’s liquidity needs are primarily driven by the liquidity and capital needs of: CS&Co, TD Ameritrade, Inc., and TDAC, our principal broker-dealer subsidiaries; the capital needs of the banking subsidiaries; principal and interest due on corporate debt, and dividend payments on CSC’s preferred and common stock. The liquidity needs of our broker-dealer subsidiaries are primarily driven by client activity including trading and margin lending activities and capital expenditures. The capital needs of the banking subsidiaries are primarily driven by client deposit levels and other borrowings. We have established liquidity policies to support the successful execution of business strategies, while ensuring ongoing and sufficient liquidity to meet operational needs and satisfy applicable regulatory requirements under both normal and stressed conditions. We seek to maintain client confidence in the balance sheet and the safety of client assets by maintaining liquidity and diversity of funding sources to allow the Company to meet its obligations. To this end, we have established limits and contingency funding plans to support liquidity levels during both business as usual and stressed conditions.
We employ a variety of metrics to monitor and manage liquidity. We conduct regular liquidity stress testing to develop a view of liquidity risk exposures and to ensure our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity during market-related or company-specific liquidity stress events. Liquidity sources are also tested periodically and results are reported to the Financial Risk Oversight Committee. A number of early warning indicators are monitored to help identify emerging liquidity stresses in the market or within the organization and are reviewed with management periodically.
Funding Sources
Schwab’s primary source of funds is cash generated by client activity which includes 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, FHLB borrowings, issuance of CDs, cash provided by securities issuances by CSC in the capital markets, and other facilities described below.

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)
To meet daily funding needs, we maintain liquidity in the form of overnight cash deposits and short-term investments. For unanticipated liquidity needs, we also maintain a buffer of highly liquid investments, including U.S. Treasury securities.
Our clients’ bank deposits and brokerage cash balances primarily originate from our 34.4 million active brokerage accounts. More than 80% of our bank deposits qualified for FDIC insurance as of June 30, 2023. Our clients’ allocation of cash held on our balance sheet as bank deposits or payables to brokerage clients is sensitive to interest rate levels, with clients typically increasing their utilization of investment cash solutions such as purchased money market funds and certain fixed income products when those yields are higher than those of cash sweep features.
Schwab’s need for borrowings from external debt facilities arises primarily from timing differences between cash flow requirements, including in the event the outflow of client cash from the balance sheet is greater than cash flows from operations and investment securities and bank loans; payments on interest-earning investments; movements of cash to meet regulatory brokerage client cash segregation requirements; and general corporate purposes. We maintain policies and procedures necessary to access funding, and test borrowing procedures on a periodic basis. Rollover risk is the risk that we will not be able to refinance or payoff borrowings as they mature. We manage rollover risk on borrowings, taking into account expected principal paydowns on our investment and loan portfolios along with expected deposit flows.
The following table describes external debt facilities available at June 30, 2023:

(1) Amounts shown as available from the FHLB and Federal Reserve facilities represent remaining capacity based on assets pledged as of June 30, 2023. Incremental borrowing capacity may be made available by pledging additional assets, subject to applicable facility terms. See below and Note 8 for additional information.
(2) Secured borrowing capacity is made available based on the banking subsidiaries’ ability to provide collateral deemed acceptable by each respective counterparty. See Note 12 for additional information.
(3) In the second quarter of 2023, CS&Co entered into a secured, uncommitted line of credit agreement with an external bank. Secured borrowing capacity is made available based on CS&Co’s ability to provide acceptable collateral to lender as determined by the credit agreement.
(4) Secured borrowing capacity is made available based on TDAC’s ability to provide acceptable collateral to the lenders as determined by the credit agreements.
N/A Not applicable.
Available borrowing capacity from the FHLB and Federal Reserve facilities maintained by our banking subsidiaries is dependent on the value of assets pledged and the terms of the borrowing arrangements. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had additional investment securities with a par value of approximately $172 billion or a fair value of approximately $156 billion available to be pledged to obtain additional capacity. These securities could be used to provide additional borrowing capacity of up to $172 billion, dependent on the facility utilized. Additional details regarding availability and use of these facilities is described below.
Amounts available under secured credit facilities with the FHLB are dependent on the value of our First Mortgages, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), and the fair value of certain of our investment securities that are pledged as collateral. These credit facilities are also available as backup financing in the event the outflow of client cash from the banking subsidiaries’ respective balance sheets is greater than maturities and paydowns on investment securities and bank loans. CSC’s banking subsidiaries must each maintain positive tangible capital, as defined by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, in order to place new draws upon these credit facilities, and the Company manages capital with consideration of minimum tangible capital ratios at our banking subsidiaries. Tangible capital pursuant to the requirements of the FHLB borrowing facilities for our banking subsidiaries is common equity less goodwill and intangible assets.
Our banking subsidiaries also have access to short-term secured funding through the Federal Reserve discount window. Amounts available under the Federal Reserve discount window are dependent on the fair value of certain investment securities that are pledged as collateral. Our banking subsidiaries may also engage with external financial institutions in repurchase

agreements collateralized by investment securities as another source of short-term liquidity. In addition, our banking subsidiaries are counterparties to the standing repo facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; other than de minimis tests performed to satisfy the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s testing requirements, this facility was not used during the first six months of 2023 and there were no amounts outstanding at June 30, 2023. Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, CSC maintains a standing bilateral repurchase agreement with an external bank. Other than a de minimis test, this facility was not used during the second quarter of 2023 and there were no amounts outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2023.
On March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve Board announced the creation of a new Bank Term Funding Program, offering loans of up to one year in length to eligible financial institutions with U.S. Treasury securities, agency debt, mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets pledged as collateral. Borrowing capacity available under this program is dependent upon the par value of the investment securities that are pledged as collateral. The Company is eligible to obtain advances under this program. This facility was not used during the first six months of 2023.
CSC’s ratings for Commercial Paper Notes were P1 by Moody’s Investor Service (Moody’s), A2 by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group (Standard & Poor’s), and F1 by Fitch Ratings, Ltd (Fitch) at June 30, 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, Standard & Poor’s downgraded its rating of CSC’s Commercial Paper Notes from A1 to A2, and Moody’s changed its outlook from positive to stable.
CSC also has a universal automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC, which enables it to issue debt, equity, and other securities.
CS&Co maintains uncommitted, unsecured bank credit lines with a group of banks as a source of short-term liquidity, which can also be accessed by CSC. Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, CS&Co also maintains a secured, uncommitted line of credit, under which CS&Co may borrow on a short-term basis and pledge either client margin securities or firm securities as collateral. TDAC maintains secured uncommitted lines of credit, under which TDAC borrows on either a demand or short-term basis and pledges client margin securities as collateral.
In the fourth quarter of 2022 and first six months of 2023, CSB issued brokered CDs as a supplemental funding source. The following table provides information about brokered CDs issued by CSB and outstanding as of June 30, 2023:
Amount Outstanding Maturity Weighted-Average Interest Rate
Brokered CDs $ 41,368 July 2023 - April 2025 4.97%
Cash Flow Activity
As a result of rapidly increasing short-term interest rates beginning in 2022, the Company saw an increase in the pace at which clients moved certain cash balances out of our sweep features and into higher yielding alternatives. As a result of these outflows, our banking subsidiaries have supplemented excess cash on hand and cash generated by maturities and paydowns on our investment securities portfolios with fixed- and floating-rate FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, and issuances of brokered CDs. During the second quarter of 2023, the pace of client cash allocations out of our sweep features decreased significantly, and in June, the Company was able to cover these client cash movements without drawing upon additional FHLB borrowings or issuing additional brokered CDs.
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s FHLB borrowings and other short-term borrowings decreased by $3.8 billion as a result of FHLB maturities during the period. Bank deposits also decreased during the second quarter of 2023 by $21.3 billion, resulting from a decrease of $29.5 billion in deposits swept from brokerage accounts due to ongoing changes in client cash allocations and a slight increase in client equities purchases, which was partially offset by a net increase in brokered CDs of $10.6 billion.
During the first six months of 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, excluding amounts restricted, increased by $7.5 billion to $47.7 billion as of June 30, 2023. This increase was driven by net cash provided by investing and operating activities, partially offset by net cash used for financing activities. Bank deposits decreased by a total of $62.3 billion during the first six months of 2023; this was driven by a decrease of $93.2 billion in deposits swept from brokerage accounts due primarily to clients’ cash allocation decisions described above, partially offset by a net increase in brokered CDs of $35.3 billion. Offsetting the decrease in bank deposits, investing cash flows from our AFS and HTM securities totaled $30.8 billion in the first six months of 2023, and the Company increased its FHLB borrowings and other short-term borrowings by a total of $31.8 billion.

To support growth in margin loan balances at our broker-dealer subsidiaries while meeting our LCR requirements, the Company may issue commercial paper or draw on secured lines of credit, in addition to capital markets issuances.
Net Stable Funding Ratio
Schwab is subject to disclosure requirements under the NSFR rule, which requires the semi-annual public disclosure of its NSFR levels beginning in the second quarter of 2023. The NSFR rule stipulates that the Company’s available stable funding (ASF) must be at least 100% of the Company’s required stable funding (RSF). ASF is calculated by assessing the stability of the Company’s funding sources and RSF is calculated by evaluating the characteristics of the Company’s assets, derivatives, and off-balance-sheet exposures. The Company was in compliance with the NSFR rule at June 30, 2023, and the table below presents information about our average NSFR:
Average for the Three Months Ended

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Schwab seeks to manage capital to a level and composition sufficient to support execution of our business strategy, including balance sheet growth over time, management of the 2023 IDA agreement inclusive of potential migration of IDA balances (see further discussion below), 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 also seeks to return excess capital to stockholders. We may return excess capital through such activities as dividends, repurchases of common shares, preferred stock redemptions, and repurchases of our preferred stock represented by depositary shares. 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.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
CSC and certain subsidiaries including our banking and broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to various capital requirements set by regulatory agencies as discussed in further detail in Part II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Capital Management of the 2022 Form 10-K and in Item 1 – Note 17. As of June 30, 2023, CSC and our banking subsidiaries are considered well capitalized, and CS&Co, TDAC, and TD Ameritrade, Inc. are in compliance with their respective net capital requirements.

(1) Changes in market interest rates can result in unrealized gains or losses on AFS securities, which are included in AOCI. As a Category III banking organization, CSC has elected to exclude AOCI from regulatory capital.
The Company’s consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio increased to 7.5% at June 30, 2023 from 7.1% at March 31, 2023 and 7.2% at year-end 2022. This increase during the second quarter was primarily due to net income during the quarter and a decrease in the Company’s total assets. Total balance sheet assets decreased $24.0 billion, or 4%, during the second quarter of 2023 due primarily to a decrease of $24.1 billion, or 6%, in total bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients due to client cash allocation decisions resulting from the rising interest rate environment. CSB’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio increased from year-end 2022, ending the second quarter of 2023 at 8.9% primarily as a result of capital contributions from CSC enabled by the Company’s issuance of $2.5 billion of long-term debt in May 2023.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System recently issued a notice of proposed changes to the regulatory capital rules that would require us to include AOCI in regulatory capital, phased in over a three-year transition period beginning July 1, 2025 (see Current Regulatory and Other Developments). As of June 30, 2023, our adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, which reflects the inclusion of AOCI in the ratio, was 3.7% for CSC consolidated and 4.0% for CSB (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results). The Company is continuing to accrete and retain capital while it continues to evaluate the impacts of the proposal. The Company currently anticipates meeting the proposed capital requirements organically well ahead of the transition period provided within the proposal.
IDA Agreement
Certain brokerage client deposits are swept off-balance sheet to the TD Depository Institutions pursuant to the 2023 IDA agreement. During the first six months of 2023, Schwab did not move IDA balances to its balance sheet. The Company’s overall capital management strategy includes supporting migration of IDA balances in future periods as available pursuant to the terms of the 2023 IDA agreement. The Company’s ability to migrate these balances to its balance sheet is dependent upon multiple factors including having sufficient capital levels to sustain these incremental deposits. See Item 1 – Note 9 for further information on the 2023 IDA agreement.
Dividends
On January 26, 2023, the Board of Directors (Board) of CSC declared a three cent, or 14%, increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $.25 per common share.

Share Repurchases
On July 27, 2022, CSC publicly announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization to repurchase up to $15.0 billion of common stock, replacing the previous and now terminated share repurchase authorization of up to $4.0 billion of common stock. The new share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date. There were no repurchases of CSC’s common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2023. CSC repurchased 37 million shares of its common stock for $2.8 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, approximately $8.7 billion remained on the new authorization. There were no repurchases of CSC’s common stock under the terminated authorization during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
There were no repurchases of CSC’s preferred stock during the three months ended June 30, 2023 . The Company repurchased 11,620 depositary shares representing interests in Series F preferred stock for $11 million, 42,036 depositary shares representing interests in Series G preferred stock for $42 million, 273,251 depositary shares representing interests in Series H preferred stock for $235 million, and 194,567 depositary shares representing interests in Series I preferred stock for $179 million on the open market during the six months ended June 30, 2023 . The repurchase prices are inclusive of $3 million of dividends accrued by the stockholders as of the repurchase date.
Beginning in 2023, share repurchases, net of issuances, are subject to a nondeductible 1% excise tax which was recognized as a direct and incremental cost associated with these transactions. For repurchases of common stock, the tax is recorded as part of the cost basis of the treasury stock repurchased, resulting in no impact to the condensed consolidated statement of income. For repurchases of preferred stock, the tax impact is included within preferred stock dividends and other on the condensed consolidated statement of income.
OTHER
Foreign Exposure

Canada at $1.7 billion. In addition, Schwab had outstanding margin loans to foreign residents of $2.7 billion and $2.5 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Certain of our accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity are discussed in Part II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates in the 2022 Form 10-K. There have been no changes to critical accounting estimates during the first six months of 2023.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain references to the non-GAAP financial measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information about the financial performance of the Company, and facilitate meaningful comparison of Schwab’s results in the current period to both historic and future results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.
Schwab’s use of non-GAAP measures is reflective of certain adjustments made to GAAP financial measures as described below.
Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure Definition Usefulness to Investors and Uses by Management
Acquisition and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets Schwab adjusts certain GAAP financial measures to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related costs incurred as a result of the Company’s acquisitions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and, where applicable, the income tax effect of these expenses.
Adjustments made to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets are reflective of all acquired intangible assets, which were recorded as part of purchase accounting. These acquired intangible assets contribute to the Company’s revenue generation. Amortization of acquired intangible assets will continue in future periods over their remaining useful lives. We exclude acquisition and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets for the purpose of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe doing so provides additional transparency of Schwab’s ongoing operations, and is useful in both evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating comparison of results with prior and future periods.
Acquisition and integration-related costs fluctuate based on the timing of acquisitions and integration activities, thereby limiting comparability of results among periods, and are not representative of the costs of running the Company’s ongoing business. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of the Company’s underlying operating performance.
Return on tangible common equity Return on tangible common equity represents annualized adjusted net income available to common stockholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill, acquired intangible assets – net, and related deferred tax liabilities. Acquisitions typically result in the recognition of significant amounts of goodwill and acquired intangible assets. We believe return on tangible common equity may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure to facilitate assessing capital efficiency and returns relative to the composition of Schwab’s balance sheet.
Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio represents the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio as prescribed by bank regulatory guidance for the consolidated company and for CSB, adjusted to reflect the inclusion of AOCI in the ratio. Inclusion of the impacts of AOCI in the Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio provides additional information regarding the Company’s current capital position. We believe Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure of the Company’s capital levels.
The Company also uses adjusted diluted EPS and return on tangible common equity as components of performance criteria for employee bonus and certain executive management incentive compensation arrangements. The Compensation Committee of CSC’s Board of Directors maintains discretion in evaluating performance against these criteria.
