Introduction and Basis of Presentation 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; • 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). Schwab’s securities broker-dealer has over 380 domestic branch offices in 48 states and the District of Columbia, as well as locations in Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Schwab,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean CSC together with its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include CSC and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying financial statements and in the related disclosures. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. While management makes its best judgment, actual amounts or results could differ from these estimates. Certain estimates relate to taxes on income and legal and regulatory reserves. Principles of Consolidation Schwab evaluates all entities in which it has financial interests for consolidation, except for money market funds, which are specifically excluded from consolidation guidance. When an entity is evaluated for consolidation, Schwab determines whether its interest in the entity constitutes a controlling financial interest under either the variable interest entity (VIE) model or the voting interest entity (VOE) model. In evaluating whether Schwab’s interest in a VIE is a controlling financial interest, we consider whether our involvement in the context of the design, purpose, and risks of the VIE, as well as any involvement of related parties, provides us with (i) the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. If both of these conditions exist, then Schwab would be the primary beneficiary of that VIE and consolidate it. Based upon the assessments for all of our interests in VIEs, there are no cases where the Company is the primary beneficiary; therefore, we are not required to consolidate any VIEs. See Note 11 for further information about VIEs. Schwab consolidates all VOEs in which it has majority-voting interests. Investments in entities in which Schwab does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing decisions of the entity or by accounting policy for investments in certain types of limited liability entities. Investments in entities for which Schwab does not apply the equity method are generally carried at cost and adjusted for impairment and observable price changes of the identical or similar investments of the same issuer (adjusted cost method), except for certain investments in qualified affordable housing projects which are accounted for under the proportional amortization method. All equity method, adjusted cost method, and proportional amortization method investments are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. - 66 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue recognition Net interest revenue Net interest revenue is not within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 Revenue From Contracts With Customers (ASC 606), because it is generated from financial instruments covered by various other areas of GAAP. Net interest revenue is the difference between interest generated on interest-earning assets and interest paid on funding sources. Our primary interest-earning assets include cash and cash equivalents; segregated cash and investments; margin loans; investment securities; and bank loans. Interest revenue and expense also include interest received or paid on resale and repurchase agreements, respectively, and fees earned and incurred on securities borrowing and lending activities. Asset management and administration fees The majority of asset management and administration fees are generated through our proprietary and third-party mutual fund and ETF offerings, as well as fee-based advisory solutions. Mutual fund and ETF service fees are charged for investment management, shareholder, and administration services provided to Schwab Funds ® and Schwab ETFs, as well as recordkeeping, shareholder, and administration services provided to third-party funds. Managed investing solutions fees are charged for brokerage and asset management services provided to managed investing solutions clients. Both mutual fund and ETF service fees and managed investing solutions fees are earned and recognized over time. Fees are generally based on a percentage of the daily value of assets under management and are collected on a monthly or quarterly basis. Trading revenue Trading revenue is primarily generated through commissions earned for executing trades for clients in individual equities, options, fixed income securities, and certain third-party mutual funds and ETFs, as well as order flow revenue. Commissions revenue is earned when the trades are executed and collected when the trades are settled. Order flow revenue is comprised of payments received from trade execution venues to which our broker-dealer subsidiary sends equity and option orders. Order flow revenue is recognized when the trades are executed and is collected on a monthly or quarterly basis. Bank deposit account fees Bank deposit account fees consist of revenues resulting from sweep programs offered to certain clients whereby uninvested client cash is swept off-balance sheet to FDIC-insured (up to specified limits) accounts at the TD Depository Institutions. The Company provides marketing, recordkeeping, and support services related to these sweep programs to the TD Depository Institutions in exchange for bank deposit account fees. These revenues are based on floating and fixed yields as elected by the Company subject to certain requirements, less interest paid to clients and other applicable fees. Bank deposit account fees are earned and recognized over time and collected on a monthly basis. Other revenue Other revenue includes industry fees, service fees, the provision for credit losses on bank loans, and other gains and losses from the sale of assets. Generally, the most significant portion of other revenue is industry fees, which are comprised of fees the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary charges clients to offset the fees imposed on us by third parties. Industry fees are earned and collected when the trade is executed and are recognized gross of amounts remitted to the third parties, which are included in other expenses. Unsatisfied performance obligations We do not have any unsatisfied performance obligations other than those that are subject to an elective practical expedient under ASC 606. The practical expedient applies to and is elected for contracts where we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. - 67 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Cash and cash equivalents Schwab considers all highly liquid investments that mature in three months or less from the time of acquisition and that are not segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds, deposits with banks, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, and resale agreements. See Resale and repurchase agreements below in this Note 2 for further information on the resale agreements. Cash and cash equivalents also include balances that our banking subsidiaries maintain at the Federal Reserve. Cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes Pursuant to the Customer Protection Rule and other applicable regulations, Schwab maintains cash or qualified securities in segregated reserve accounts for the exclusive benefit of clients. Cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes include resale agreements, certificates of deposit, and U.S. government securities. See Resale and repurchase agreements below in this Note 2 for further information on the resale agreements. Certificates of deposit and U.S. government securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. Receivables from brokerage clients Receivables from brokerage clients include margin loans and other trading receivables from brokerage clients. Margin loans are collateralized by client securities and are carried at the amount receivable, net of an allowance for credit losses. Collateral is required to be maintained at specified minimum levels at all times. The Company monitors margin levels and requires clients to provide additional collateral, or reduce margin positions, to meet minimum collateral requirements if the fair value of the collateral changes. Schwab applies the practical expedient based on collateral maintenance provisions under ASC 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326), in estimating an allowance for credit losses for margin loans. This practical expedient can be applied for financial assets with collateral maintenance provisions requiring the borrower to continually adjust the amount of the collateral securing the financial assets as a result of fair value changes in the collateral. In accordance with the practical expedient, when the Company reasonably expects that borrowers (or counterparties, as applicable) will replenish the collateral as required, there is no expectation of credit losses when the collateral’s fair value is greater than the amortized cost of the financial asset. If the amortized cost exceeds the fair value of collateral, then credit losses are estimated only on the unsecured portion. An allowance for credit losses on unsecured or partially secured receivables from brokerage clients is estimated based on the aging of those receivables. Unsecured balances due to confirmed fraud are reserved immediately. The Company’s policy is to charge off any unsecured margin loans, including the accrued interest on such loans, no later than at 90 days past due. Accrued interest charged off is recognized as credit loss expense and is included in other expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Clients with margin loans have agreed to allow Schwab to pledge collateralized securities in accordance with federal regulations. The collateral is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Other securities owned and securities sold but not yet purchased Other securities owned and securities sold but not yet purchased are included in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets and recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices or other observable market data. Unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. Client-held fractional shares are included in other securities owned for client positions where off-balance sheet treatment pursuant to ASC 940 Financial Services – Brokers and Dealers is not applicable and the derecognition criteria in ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing, are not met. These client-held fractional shares have related repurchase liabilities that are accounted for at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. See Fair values of assets and liabilities below in this Note 2 for further information on these repurchase liabilities. Investment securities Investment securities include debt securities which are classified based on management’s intention on the date of purchase and recorded on the balance sheet as of the trade date. Debt securities not held for trading purposes, for which the Company does not have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are classified as AFS. AFS investment securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses, other than losses related to credit factors, are reported, net of taxes, in AOCI included in stockholders’ equity. Debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM. HTM investment securities are recorded at amortized cost, net of any allowance for credit losses. Realized gains and losses from sales of AFS investment securities are determined using the specific-identification method and are included in other revenue. Interest income on investment securities is recognized using the effective interest method based on the contractual terms of the security. Where applicable, prepayments are accounted for as they occur (i.e., prepayments are not estimated). - 68 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Accrued interest receivable for AFS and HTM investment securities is included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. An AFS investment security is impaired if the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. Management evaluates AFS investment securities with unrealized losses to determine whether the security’s impairment has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. This evaluation is performed quarterly on an individual security basis. The evaluation of whether the AFS security impairment has resulted from a credit loss is inherently judgmental. This evaluation considers multiple factors including: the financial condition of the issuer; the payment structure of the security; external credit ratings; our internal credit ratings; the security’s market implied credit spread; for asset-backed securities, the amount of credit support provided by the structure of the security to absorb credit losses on the underlying collateral; recent events specific to the issuer and the issuer’s industry; and whether all scheduled principal and interest payments have been received. If management determines that the impairment of an AFS investment security (or a portion of the impairment) is related to credit losses, an allowance for credit losses is recorded for that security through a charge to earnings. The allowance for credit losses on AFS investment securities is measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the present value of expected cash flows and is limited to the difference between amortized cost and the fair value of the security. The Company estimates credit losses on a discounted cash flow basis using the security’s effective interest rate. If it is determined that the Company intends to sell the impaired security or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before any anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis, any allowance for credit losses of that security will be written off and the amortized cost basis of the security will be written down to fair value with any incremental impairment recorded through earnings. The Company separately evaluates its HTM investment securities for any expected credit losses. If HTM investment securities share risk characteristics, management evaluates those securities on a collective basis. An allowance for credit losses is recorded through a charge to earnings based on an estimate of current expected credit losses over the remaining expected lives of the HTM investment securities. Management reviews the allowance for credit losses quarterly, taking into consideration current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, past events, and historical experience that affect the expected collectability of the reported amounts. For the purposes of identifying and measuring impairment of AFS investment securities and for the purposes of estimating the allowance for credit losses on all investment securities, the Company excludes accrued interest from the amortized cost basis and when applicable, the fair value, of investment securities. Changes in the allowance for credit losses on investment securities are recorded through earnings in the period of the change. For some of the AFS and HTM investment securities, the Company has an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero based on a long history with no credit losses and considering current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This applies to a limited set of securities that are guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agencies, and sovereign entities of high credit quality. The expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero is continually reevaluated. AFS and HTM investment securities are placed on nonaccrual status on a timely basis and any accrued interest receivable is reversed through interest income. Resale and repurchase agreements Resale and repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions with a receivable or payable recorded at their contractual amounts plus accrued interest. Securities received under resale agreements are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Securities transferred to counterparties under repurchase agreements continue to be recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets in the respective financial statement line item and at the respective measurement basis. Schwab’s resale agreements are typically collateralized by U.S. government and agency securities. Receivables for resale agreements segregated for the exclusive benefit of clients are included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes in the consolidated balance sheets. Receivables for resale agreements not segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes are included in either cash and cash equivalents or other assets in the consolidated balance sheets based on their maturity at inception. Schwab applies the practical expedient based on collateral maintenance provisions in estimating an allowance for credit losses for resale agreements. - 69 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Payables for repurchase agreements entered by our broker-dealer subsidiary are included in payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations on the consolidated balance sheets. Payables for repurchase agreements entered by Schwab’s banking subsidiaries are included in short-term borrowings on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company monitors its collateral requirements under resale and repurchase agreements daily and collateral is adjusted to ensure full collateralization. Interest received or paid is recorded in interest revenue or interest expense, respectively. Securities borrowed and securities loaned Securities borrowing and lending transactions are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. Securities borrowed transactions typically require Schwab to deliver cash to the lender in exchange for securities; the receivables from these transactions are included in receivables from brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations on the consolidated balance sheets. For securities loaned, Schwab typically receives collateral in the form of cash in an amount equal to or greater than the market value of securities loaned; the payables from these transactions are included in payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations on the consolidated balance sheets. In instances where the Company is acting as the lender and receives securities that can be sold or pledged as collateral, the Company recognizes the collateral received at fair value and the obligation to return the collateral in the consolidated balance sheets. The market value of securities borrowed and loaned is monitored and collateral is adjusted to ensure full collateralization. Fees received or paid are recorded in interest revenue or interest expense. Schwab applies the practical expedient based on collateral maintenance provisions in estimating an allowance for credit losses for securities borrowed receivables. Bank loans and related allowance for loan losses Bank loans held for investments are recorded at amortized cost, which is comprised of the contractual principal amounts adjusted for unamortized direct origination costs or net purchase discounts or premiums. Interest income on bank loans is recognized using the effective interest method based on the contractual terms of the loan. Direct origination costs and premiums and discounts are recognized in interest revenue using the effective interest method over the contractual life of the loan and are adjusted for actual prepayments. Additionally, management estimates an allowance for credit losses, which is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to arrive at the amount expected to be collected. The bank loan portfolio includes three portfolio segments: residential real estate, pledged asset lines (PALs), and other loans. We use these segments when developing and documenting our methodology for determining the allowance for credit losses. The residential real estate portfolio segment is divided into two classes of financing receivables for purposes of monitoring and assessing credit risk: First Mortgages and HELOCs. Schwab records an allowance for credit losses through a charge to provision for credit losses, included in other revenue, based on our estimate of current expected credit losses for the existing portfolio. We review the allowance for credit losses quarterly, taking into consideration current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, the composition of the existing loan portfolio, past loss experience, and any other risks inherent in the portfolio to ensure that the allowance for credit losses is maintained at an appropriate level. Substantially all PALs are collateralized by marketable securities with liquid markets. Credit lines are over-collateralized and borrowers are required to maintain collateral at specified levels at all times. The required collateral levels are determined based on the type of security pledged. Additionally, collateral market value is monitored on a daily basis and a borrower’s credit line may be reduced or collateral may be liquidated if the collateral is in danger of falling below specified levels. As such, the credit loss inherent within this portfolio is limited. Schwab applies the practical expedient based on collateral maintenance provisions in estimating an allowance for credit losses for PALs. The methodology to establish an allowance for credit losses for the residential real estate portfolio segment utilizes statistical models that estimate prepayments, defaults, and expected losses for this portfolio segment based on predicted behavior of individual loans within the segment. The methodology also evaluates concentrations in the classes of financing receivables, including loan products within those classes, year of origination, and geographical distribution of collateral. Expected credit losses are estimated using a loan-level model that projects each loan’s behavior over its term based on forecasted voluntary housing turnover, the rates of refinancing, delinquency transition rates, and severity of loss. The model takes into account the current relevant risk indicators, including each loan’s term and structure, current delinquency status, and the estimated refreshed LTV ratio, as well as borrower FICO scores and current key interest rates including U.S. Treasury, SOFR, Prime, and mortgage rates. The more significant variables in the model include delinquency roll rates, housing prices, interest - 70 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) rates, and the unemployment rate. Delinquency roll rates (i.e., the rates at which loans transition through delinquency stages and ultimately result in a loss) are estimated from our historical loss experience over a full economic cycle. Loss severity (i.e., loss given default) estimates are based on forecasted net equity associated with each loan and property, as well as loss experience and market trends, both current and forecasted. Housing price trends are derived from historical home price indices and econometric forecasts of future home values. Factors affecting the home price index include housing inventory, unemployment, interest rates, and inflation expectations. Mortgage rates are estimated based on forecasted spread, while the rest of the interest rates used by the model are projected based on the forward rates. The unemployment rate forecast is typically based on the recent consensus of regularly published economic surveys. Linear interpolation is applied to revert to long-term trends after the reasonable and supportable forecast period. The methodology described above results in loss factors that are applied to the amortized cost basis of loans, exclusive of accrued interest receivable, to determine the allowance for credit losses for First Mortgages and HELOCs. Management also estimates a liability for expected credit losses on the Company’s commitments to extend credit related to unused HELOCs and commitments to purchase First Mortgages. See Note 15 for additional information on these commitments. The liability is calculated by applying the loss factors described above to the commitments expected to be funded and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The liability for expected credit losses on these commitments and related activity were immaterial for all periods presented. Nonaccrual, nonperforming, and impaired loans First Mortgages, HELOCs, PALs, and other loans are placed on nonaccrual status upon becoming 90 days past due as to interest or principal (unless the loans are well-secured and in the process of collection), or when the full timely collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain, including loans to borrowers who have filed for bankruptcy. HELOC loans secured by a second lien are placed on non-accrual status if the associated first lien is 90 days or more delinquent, regardless of the payment status of the HELOC. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is reversed and the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. Generally, a nonaccrual loan may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal is repaid and the borrower demonstrates a sustained period of performance, or when the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection and collectability is no longer doubtful. Loans on nonaccrual status and other real estate owned are considered nonperforming assets. Loan charge-offs The Company charges off a loan in the period that it is deemed uncollectible and records a reduction in the allowance for credit losses and the loan balance. Our charge-off policy for First Mortgage and HELOC loans is to assess the value of the property when the loan has been delinquent for 180 days or has been discharged in bankruptcy proceedings, regardless of whether the property is in foreclosure, and charge off the amount of the loan balance in excess of the estimated current value of the underlying property less estimated costs to sell. The Company’s policy for PALs is to charge off any unsecured balances no later than at 90 days past due. Equipment, office facilities, and property Equipment, office facilities, and property are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, except for land, which is recorded at cost. Equipment, office facilities, and property include certain capitalized costs of acquired or internally developed software. Costs for internally developed software are capitalized when the costs relate to development of approved projects for our internal needs that result in additional functionality. Costs related to preliminary project and post-project activities are expensed as incurred. Equipment, office facilities, and property (other than land) are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives are as follows: All equipment types and furniture 3 to 10 years Buildings 40 years Building and land improvements 20 years Software 3 to 10 years (1) Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life or lease term (1) Amortized over contractual term if shorter than the estimated useful life. Equipment, office facilities, and property are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group related to such assets may not be recoverable. Impairment charges are recorded in other expenses. - 71 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or whenever indications of impairment exist. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, resulting in an impairment charge for this excess, with the maximum charge limited to the carrying value of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Our annual impairment testing date is April 1 st . Schwab can elect to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. A qualitative assessment considers macroeconomic and other industry-specific factors, such as trends in short-term and long-term interest rates and the ability to access capital, and Company specific factors such as market capitalization in excess of net assets, trends in revenue generating activities, and merger or acquisition activity. If the Company elects to bypass qualitatively assessing goodwill, or it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, management estimates the fair values of each of the Company’s reporting units (defined as the Company’s businesses for which financial information is available and reviewed regularly by management) and compares it to their carrying values. The estimated fair values of the reporting units are established using an income approach based on a discounted cash flow model that includes significant assumptions about the future operating results and cash flows of each reporting unit, a market approach which compares each reporting unit to comparable companies in their respective industries, as well as a market capitalization analysis. Intangible assets Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives in a manner that best reflects their economic benefit. All intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) investments We account for investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if the applicable requirements are met. The proportional amortization method amortizes the cost of the investment over the period in which the investor expects to receive tax credits and other tax benefits, and the resulting amortization is recognized as a component of taxes on income. The carrying value of LIHTC investments is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Unfunded commitments related to LIHTC investments are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Leases Leases primarily consist of operating leases for corporate offices, branch locations, and server equipment. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has also elected to not record leases acquired in a business combination on the balance sheet if the remaining term as of the acquisition date is 12 months or less. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. At the commencement date, we determine classification as either an operating lease or finance lease, and the ROU asset and lease liability are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease liability may include payments that depend on a rate or index (such as the Consumer Price Index), measured using the rate or index at the commencement date. Payments that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date are considered variable. These payments are not recognized as part of the lease liability and are expensed in the period incurred. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The amortization of finance lease ROU assets and the interest expense on finance lease liabilities are recognized over the lease term as depreciation and interest expense, respectively. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. For the majority of our leases (real estate leases), the Company has elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We have not elected the practical expedient for equipment leases and account for lease and non-lease components separately for that class of leases. - 72 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) As the rates implicit in our leases are not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include periods covered by options to extend when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. The lease terms may also include periods covered by options to terminate when it is reasonably certain that we will not exercise that option. The ROU assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group related to such assets may not be recoverable. Impairment charges are recorded in other expense. In certain situations, the Company may also abandon a lease prior to the end of its lease term. Once the Company has committed to a plan to abandon the lease, the amortization period of the ROU asset is shortened to the abandonment date. Advertising and market development Advertising and market development activities include the cost to produce and distribute marketing campaigns as well as client incentives and discounts. Where it applies to these costs, the Company’s accounting policy is to expense when incurred. Income taxes Schwab records income taxes on all transactions that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, deferred tax assets are adjusted to reflect the tax rates at which future taxable amounts will likely be settled or realized. The effects of tax rate changes on future deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, as well as other changes in income tax laws, are recorded in earnings in the period such changes are enacted. Uncertain tax positions are evaluated to determine whether they are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. When tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, the difference between positions taken on tax return filings and estimated potential tax settlement outcomes are recognized in accrued expenses and other liabilities. If a position is not more likely than not to be sustained, then none of the tax benefit is recognized in Schwab’s financial statements. Accrued interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in taxes on income. Schwab records amounts within AOCI net of taxes. Income tax effects are released from AOCI using the specific-identification method. Share-based compensation Share-based compensation includes employee and board of director stock options and restricted stock units. Schwab measures compensation expense for these share-based payment arrangements based on their estimated fair values as of the grant date. The grant date fair value is amortized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Share-based compensation expense is based on options or units expected to vest and therefore is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Per the Company’s accounting policy election, forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and reviewed annually based on the Company’s historical forfeiture experience. Share-based compensation expense is adjusted in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from estimated forfeitures. For share-based payment awards with performance conditions, management assesses and estimates their expected level of achievement. Share-based compensation expense is recognized based on the level of achievement deemed probable and changes in the estimated outcome are reflected as a cumulative adjustment to expense in the period of the change in estimate. The excess tax benefits or deficiencies from the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units are recorded in taxes on income. Derivative instruments and hedging activities The Company utilizes derivative instruments as part of its interest rate risk management. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Accounting for the changes in the fair values of derivatives depends on whether we qualify for and elect to apply hedge accounting and the type of hedging accounting relationship applied. Hedge accounting generally matches the timing of gain or loss recognition on the derivatives with the recognition of the changes in the fair values or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged . Economic hedges do not qualify for hedge accounting or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. To qualify for hedge accounting, among other requirements, a derivative must be highly effective at reducing exposure to the hedged risk. The assessment of effectiveness is done for each hedging relationship at inception and on an ongoing basis. Depending on certain criteria, these assessments of effectiveness may be qualitative or quantitative. Schwab applies the “shortcut method” of hedge accounting for a portion of its fair value hedges, which assumes perfect effectiveness. Alternatively, when quantitative effectiveness assessments are required, the Company uses regression analysis. The assessment of effectiveness may exclude changes in fair value of the derivative associated with time value. - 73 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) For the Company’s fair value hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivatives and the changes in fair values of the hedged assets and liabilities attributable to benchmark interest rates (basis adjustments) are both recorded in interest revenue or interest expense on the consolidated statements of income. If the hedging relationship is terminated, any remaining basis adjustment is included in the carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability and amortized to interest revenue or interest expense over its remaining life as a yield adjustment. The Company does not amortize basis adjustments prior to termination of the hedging relationship. Certain fair value hedges may be designated under the portfolio layer method (PLM) of hedge accounting, which allows the Company to hedge the interest rate risk of prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets by designating a stated amount of a closed portfolio that is expected to be outstanding for the designated hedge period (a hedged layer) as the hedged item. A PLM hedging relationship may include multiple hedged layers. If at any point during the hedge period the aggregate amount of the hedged layers exceeds the amount of the closed portfolio (i.e., a breach of the hedged layer(s) has occurred) or is expected to exceed the amount of the closed portfolio at a future date during the hedge period (i.e., a breach of the hedged layer is anticipated), the PLM hedging relationship must be fully or partially terminated to cure the breach or anticipated breach. Basis adjustments for active PLM hedges are maintained at the closed portfolio level and are only allocated to individual assets remaining in the closed portfolio when the hedging relationship is terminated, except for any portion of the basis adjustment related to a breach of the hedged layer(s) that has occurred, which is recognized in interest revenue immediately. Allocated PLM basis adjustments are included in the amortized cost of the hedged assets and amortized to interest revenue over their respective remaining lives as a yield adjustment. For the Company’s cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivatives is recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into interest revenue or interest expense, depending on where the hedged cash flows are recognized, on the consolidated statements of income when the hedged transactions affect earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI for cash flow hedges of interest rate risk on recognized financial assets and liabilities are reclassified into interest revenue or interest expense as interest payments are accrued or made. Any amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recorded in AOCI and reclassified into interest revenue or interest expense by using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. If the hedging relationship is terminated and it becomes probable that the transactions that were hedged will not occur, the gain or loss on the derivative recorded in AOCI prior to termination is reclassified into interest revenue or interest expense immediately. Otherwise, the derivative gain or loss in AOCI will continue to be reclassified into interest revenue or interest expense in the periods during which the previously hedged transactions affect earnings. For the Company’s economic hedges, the gain or loss on the derivatives is recorded in earnings and provides an offset to the gains or losses recognized on the hedged items. The Company did not have any economic hedges during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Cash flows associated with derivative instruments are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows consistent with the treatment and nature of the items being hedged. Fair values of assets and liabilities Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement accounting guidance describes the fair value hierarchy for disclosing assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the inputs used to value them. The fair value hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are based on market pricing data obtained from third-party sources independent of the Company. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is generally used to measure fair value whenever available. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Where inputs used to measure fair value of an asset or liability are from different levels of the hierarchy, the asset or liability is categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessing the significance of a particular input requires judgment. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels based on the objectivity of the inputs as follows: • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets as of the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. - 74 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, new issue data, and collateral performance. • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis Schwab’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include certain cash equivalents, certain investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes, AFS securities, certain other assets, interest rate derivatives, and certain accrued expenses and other liabilities. The Company uses the market approach to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities. When available, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities. Quoted prices for investments in exchange-traded securities represent end-of-day close prices published by exchanges. Quoted prices for money market funds and other mutual funds represent reported net asset values. When utilizing market data and bid-ask spread, the Company uses the price within the bid-ask spread that best represents fair value. When quoted prices in active markets do not exist, the Company uses prices obtained from independent third-party pricing services to measure the fair value of investment assets, and we generally obtain prices from three independent third-party pricing sources for such assets recorded at fair value. Our primary independent pricing service provides prices for our fixed income investments such as commercial paper; certificates of deposit; U.S. government and agency securities; state and municipal securities; corporate debt securities; asset-backed securities; foreign government agency securities; and non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. Such prices are based on observable trades, broker/dealer quotes, and discounted cash flows that incorporate observable information such as yields for similar types of securities (a benchmark interest rate plus observable spreads) and weighted-average maturity for the same or similar “to-be-issued” securities. We compare the prices obtained from the primary independent pricing service to the prices obtained from the additional independent pricing services to determine if the price obtained from the primary independent pricing service is reasonable. Schwab does not adjust the prices received from independent third-party pricing services unless such prices are inconsistent with the definition of fair value and result in material differences in the amounts recorded. Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include interest rate swaps, securities sold but not yet purchased, and repurchase liabilities related to client-held fractional shares of equities, ETFs, and other securities, which are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets (see Other securities owned and securities sold but not yet purchased above in this Note 2 for the treatment of client-held fractional shares). The fair values of securities sold but not yet purchased are based on quoted market prices or other observable market data. The Company has elected the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825 Financial Instruments for the repurchase liabilities to match the measurement and accounting of the related client-held fractional shares. The fair values of the repurchase liabilities are based on quoted market prices or other observable market data consistent with the related client-held fractional shares. Unrealized gains and losses on client-held fractional shares offset the unrealized gains and losses on the corresponding repurchase liabilities, resulting in no impact to the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s liabilities to repurchase client-held fractional shares do not have credit risk, and, as a result, the Company has not recognized any gains or losses in the consolidated statements of income or comprehensive income attributable to instrument-specific credit risk for these repurchase liabilities. The repurchase liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of interest rate derivatives are based on market observable interest rate yield curves. Fair value measurements are priced considering the coupon rate of the fixed leg of the contract and the variable coupon rate on the floating leg of the contract. Valuation is based on both spot and forward rates on the swap yield curve. The Company validates its valuations with counterparty quotations from central counterparty (CCP) clearing houses. See Note 16 for additional information on the Company’s interest rate derivatives. - 75 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) New Accounting Standards Adoption of New Accounting Standards Standard Description Date of Adoption Effects on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” Expands income tax disclosures, primarily by enhancing the rate reconciliation table and requiring additional disaggregated information about income taxes paid.

As of December 31, 2024, approximately 35 %, 18 %, and 16 % of the total AFS corporate debt securities were issued by institutions in the financial services, consumer staples, and information technology industries, respectively. (2) As of December 31, 2025, approximately 70 % and 21 % of the total AFS asset-backed securities were collateralized by Federal Family Education Loan Program asset-backed securities and credit card receivables, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 62 % and 25 % of total AFS in asset-backed securities were collateralized by Federal Family Education Loan Program asset-backed securities and credit card receivables, respectively. (3) This represents the amount of PLM fair value hedge basis adjustments related to AFS securities hedged in a closed portfolio. See Notes 2 and 16 for more information on PLM hedge accounting. (4) Included in cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets, but excluded from this table, is $ 2.0 billion of AFS U.S. Treasury securities as of December 31, 2025 ( none as of December 31, 2024). These holdings have maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition, and an aggregate market value equal to amortized cost. The weighted-average yield of these securities is 3.17 % at December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, our banking subsidiaries had pledged investment securities with a fair value of $ 59.7 billion (collateral value of $ 55.6 billion) as collateral to secure borrowing capacity on secured credit facilities with the FHLB (see Note 13). Our banking subsidiaries also pledge investment securities as collateral to secure borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve discount window, and had pledged securities with a fair value of $ 30.3 billion (collateral value of $ 29.3 billion) as collateral for this facility at December 31, 2025. The Company also pledges investment securities issued by federal agencies to secure certain trust deposits. The fair value and collateral value of these pledged securities was $ 1.6 billion at December 31, 2025. - 79 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) At December 31, 2025, our banking subsidiaries had pledged HTM securities as collateral under repurchase agreements with external financial institutions. HTM securities pledged were U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $ 1.3 billion, all of which may be sold, repledged, or otherwise used by the counterparties. See Notes 2, 13, and 17 for additional information on these repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2025, the Company had pledged AFS securities consisting of U.S. Treasury securities with an aggregate fair value of $ 281 million as initial margin on interest rate swaps (see Notes 16 and 17). All of Schwab’s interest rate swaps are cleared through CCPs which require the Company to post initial margin as collateral against potential losses. Initial margin is posted through FCMs which serve as the intermediary between the CCPs and Schwab. The FCM agreements governing our swaps allow for securities pledged as initial margin to be sold, repledged, or otherwise used by the FCM. AFS investment securities with unrealized losses, aggregated by category and period of continuous unrealized loss, are as follows: Less than 12 months 12 months or longer Total December 31, 2025 Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses Available for sale securities U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities (1) $ 4 $ — $ 41,394 $ 3,151 $ 41,398 $ 3,151 U.S. Treasury securities (1) 1,558 — 5,424 182 6,982 182 Corporate debt securities — — 4,667 360 4,667 360 Asset-backed securities (1) 147 — 4,046 133 4,193 133 U.S. state and municipal securities 27 2 534 32 561 34 Non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities — — 113 7 113 7 Other — — 19 2 19 2 Total (2) $ 1,736 $ 2 $ 56,197 $ 3,867 $ 57,933 $ 3,869 December 31, 2024 Available for sale securities U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities $ — $ — $ 51,833 $ 5,429 $ 51,833 $ 5,429 U.S. Treasury securities (1) 243 — 12,727 471 12,970 471 Corporate debt securities — — 9,579 587 9,579 587 Asset-backed securities (1) 12 — 5,888 196 5,900 196 U.S. state and municipal securities — — 549 54 549 54 Foreign government agency securities — — 527 6 527 6 Non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities — — 109 12 109 12 Other — — 18 3 18 3 Total (2) $ 255 $ — $ 81,230 $ 6,758 $ 81,485 $ 6,758 (1) Amounts of unrealized losses less than 12 months were less than $ 500 thousand. (2) For purposes of this table, unrealized losses on AFS securities excludes the unallocated PLM fair value hedge basis adjustments of $ 2 million and $( 47 ) million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2025, substantially all rated securities in the investment portfolios were investment grade. U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities do not have explicit credit ratings; however, management considers these to be of the highest credit quality and rating given the guarantee of principal and interest by the U.S. government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. For a description of management’s quarterly evaluation of AFS securities in unrealized loss positions, see Note 2. No amounts were recognized as credit loss expense and no securities were written down to fair value through earnings for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. None of the Company’s AFS securities held as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 had an allowance for credit losses. HTM securities as of December 31, 2025 were U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities, and as of December 31, 2024 all HTM securities were U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities. At both December 31, 2025 and 2024, HTM securities had no allowance for credit losses because expected nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. The Company had $ 386 million and $ 455 million of accrued interest for AFS and HTM securities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts are excluded from the amortized cost basis and fair market value of AFS and HTM securities - 80 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) and included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. There were no writeoffs of accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM securities during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.

(2) At December 31, 2025 and 2024, 41 % and 42 %, respectively, of the First Mortgage and HELOC portfolios were concentrated in California. These loans have performed in a manner consistent with the portfolio as a whole. (3) There were no loans accruing interest that were contractually 90 days or more past due at December 31, 2025 or 2024. Bank-loan related nonperforming assets consisted of the nonaccrual loans presented here and loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty were not material at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. At December 31, 2025, CSB had pledged the full balance of First Mortgages and HELOCs pursuant to a blanket lien status collateral arrangement to secure borrowing capacity on a secured credit facility with the FHLB (see Note 13). Changes in the allowance for credit losses on bank loans were as follows: First Mortgages HELOCs Total residential real estate Pledged asset lines Other Total Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 66 $ 4 $ 70 $ — $ 3 $ 73 Charge-offs — — — — — — Recoveries — — — — — — Provision for credit losses ( 34 ) ( 2 ) ( 36 ) — 1 ( 35 ) Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 32 $ 2 $ 34 $ — $ 4 $ 38 Charge-offs — — — — — — Recoveries — — — — — — Provision for credit losses ( 18 ) ( 1 ) ( 19 ) — 2 ( 17 ) Balance at December 31, 2024 $ 14 $ 1 $ 15 $ — $ 6 $ 21 Charge-offs — — — — — — Recoveries — — — — — — Provision for credit losses 14 — 14 — 1 15 Balance at December 31, 2025 $ 28 $ 1 $ 29 $ — $ 7 $ 36 As discussed in Note 2, the Company charges off any unsecured PAL balances no later than 90 days past due. As of December 31, 2025, substantially all PALs are also subject to the collateral maintenance practical expedient under ASC 326 - 82 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Financial Instruments — Credit Losses . All PALs were fully collateralized by securities with fair values in excess of borrowings as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and no allowance for credit losses for PALs as of those dates was required. The U.S. economy saw lower hiring, minor home price declines, and a modest inflation gain at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, while continuing to face moderately restrictive monetary policy and geopolitical unrest amid a backdrop of elevated uncertainty relating to economic impacts of emerging trade policy. Management’s macroeconomic outlook reflects sustained current benchmark lending rates, with a softening labor market and slight near-term home price depreciation. Though higher mortgage rates are easing demand and reducing borrower affordability, we expect constrained housing supply to keep home prices relatively stable. As a result of these factors, we modestly increased projected loss rates at December 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, even as credit quality metrics in the Company’s bank loans portfolio continue to be strong. Credit Quality In addition to monitoring delinquency, Schwab monitors the credit quality of First Mortgages and HELOCs by stratifying the portfolios by the following: • Year of origination; • Borrower FICO scores at origination (Origination FICO); • Refreshed borrower FICO scores (Refreshed FICO); • Loan-to-value (LTV) ratios at origination (Origination LTV); and • Estimated Refreshed LTV ratios (Estimated Refreshed LTV). Borrowers’ FICO scores are provided by an independent third-party credit reporting service and are generally updated quarterly. The Origination LTV and Estimated Refreshed LTV for a HELOC include any first lien mortgage outstanding on the same property at the time of the HELOC’s origination. The Estimated Refreshed LTV for each loan is updated on a monthly basis by reference to a home price appreciation index. - 83 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) The credit quality indicators of the Company’s First Mortgages and HELOCs are detailed below: First Mortgages Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year December 31, 2025 2025 2024 2023 2022 2021 pre-2021 Total First Mortgages Revolving HELOCs amortized cost basis HELOCs converted to term loans Total HELOCs Origination FICO <620 $ — $ 1 $ — $ 3 $ 1 $ 1 $ 6 $ — $ — $ — 620 – 679 23 16 4 23 28 21 115 — 1 1 680 – 739 526 272 219 667 1,011 497 3,192 52 24 76 ≥740 5,480 2,534 1,573 4,546 9,109 3,929 27,171 260 90 350 Total $ 6,029 $ 2,823 $ 1,796 $ 5,239 $ 10,149 $ 4,448 $ 30,484 $ 312 $ 115 $ 427 Origination LTV ≤70% $ 4,105 $ 1,925 $ 1,216 $ 3,891 $ 8,832 $ 3,641 $ 23,610 $ 296 $ 80 $ 376 >70% – ≤90% 1,924 898 580 1,348 1,317 806 6,873 16 34 50 >90% – ≤100% — — — — — 1 1 — 1 1 Total $ 6,029 $ 2,823 $ 1,796 $ 5,239 $ 10,149 $ 4,448 $ 30,484 $ 312 $ 115 $ 427 Refreshed FICO <620 $ 8 $ 4 $ 3 $ 36 $ 32 $ 23 $ 106 $ 3 $ 3 $ 6 620 – 679 59 31 25 61 80 60 316 5 6 11 680 – 739 570 227 153 483 797 360 2,590 48 20 68 ≥740 5,392 2,561 1,615 4,659 9,240 4,005 27,472 256 86 342 Total $ 6,029 $ 2,823 $ 1,796 $ 5,239 $ 10,149 $ 4,448 $ 30,484 $ 312 $ 115 $ 427 Estimated Refreshed LTV (1) ≤70% $ 3,877 $ 1,989 $ 1,450 $ 4,696 $ 10,046 $ 4,437 $ 26,495 $ 310 $ 115 $ 425 >70% – ≤90% 2,148 829 342 537 103 11 3,970 2 — 2 >90% – ≤100% 4 5 4 6 — — 19 — — — Total $ 6,029 $ 2,823 $ 1,796 $ 5,239 $ 10,149 $ 4,448 $ 30,484 $ 312 $ 115 $ 427 Gross charge-offs $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Percent of Loans on Nonaccrual Status 0.01 % 0.01 % 0.11 % 0.10 % 0.15 % 0.31 % 0.12 % 0.16 % 1.80 % 0.70 % (1) Represents the LTV for the full line of credit (drawn and undrawn) for revolving HELOCs. - 84 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) First Mortgages Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year December 31, 2024 2024 2023 2022 2021 pre-2021 Total First Mortgages Revolving HELOCs amortized cost basis HELOCs converted to term loans Total HELOCs Origination FICO <620 $ 1 $ — $ 2 $ 1 $ 2 $ 6 $ — $ — $ — 620 – 679 24 4 26 29 28 111 — 1 1 680 – 739 361 249 724 1,091 576 3,001 47 30 77 ≥740 3,203 1,895 4,902 9,796 4,475 24,271 241 105 346 Total $ 3,589 $ 2,148 $ 5,654 $ 10,917 $ 5,081 $ 27,389 $ 288 $ 136 $ 424 Origination LTV ≤70% $ 2,471 $ 1,445 $ 4,197 $ 9,479 $ 4,159 $ 21,751 $ 267 $ 95 $ 362 >70% – ≤90% 1,118 703 1,457 1,438 920 5,636 21 40 61 >90% – ≤100% — — — — 2 2 — 1 1 Total $ 3,589 $ 2,148 $ 5,654 $ 10,917 $ 5,081 $ 27,389 $ 288 $ 136 $ 424 Refreshed FICO <620 $ — $ 3 $ 25 $ 15 $ 21 $ 64 $ 1 $ 5 $ 6 620 – 679 34 31 74 97 74 310 6 7 13 680 – 739 339 191 574 871 435 2,410 48 24 72 ≥740 3,216 1,923 4,981 9,934 4,551 24,605 233 100 333 Total $ 3,589 $ 2,148 $ 5,654 $ 10,917 $ 5,081 $ 27,389 $ 288 $ 136 $ 424 Estimated Refreshed LTV (1) ≤70% $ 2,402 $ 1,660 $ 4,942 $ 10,747 $ 5,057 $ 24,808 $ 285 $ 136 $ 421 >70% – ≤90% 1,187 487 693 166 20 2,553 3 — 3 >90% – ≤100% — 1 17 3 4 25 — — — >100% — — 2 1 — 3 — — — Total $ 3,589 $ 2,148 $ 5,654 $ 10,917 $ 5,081 $ 27,389 $ 288 $ 136 $ 424 Gross charge-offs $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Percent of Loans on Nonaccrual Status 0.01 % 0.12 % 0.16 % 0.04 % 0.18 % 0.09 % 0.07 % 2.33 % 0.71 % (1) Represents the LTV for the full line of credit (drawn and undrawn) for revolving HELOCs. At December 31, 2025, $ 26.2 billion of First Mortgage loans had adjustable interest rates. Substantially all of these mortgages have initial fixed interest rates for three to ten years and interest rates that typically adjust every six to twelve months pursuant to the terms of the loan thereafter. Approximately 23 % of the balance of these mortgages consisted of loans with interest-only payment terms. The interest rates on approximately 66 % of the balance of these interest-only loans are not scheduled to reset for three or more years. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, Schwab had $ 223 million and $ 171 million, respectively, of accrued interest on bank loans, which is excluded from the amortized cost basis of bank loans and included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The HELOC product has a 30 -year loan term with an initial draw period of ten years from the date of origination. After the initial draw period, the balance outstanding at such time is converted to a 20 -year amortizing loan. The interest rate during the initial draw period and the 20 -year amortizing period is a floating rate based on the prime rate plus a margin. - 85 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) The following table presents when current outstanding HELOCs will convert to amortizing loans: December 31, 2025 Balance Converted to an amortizing loan by period end (1) $ 115 Within 1 year 13 > 1 year – 3 years 35 > 3 years – 5 years 56 > 5 years 208 Total $ 427 (1) Includes $ 13 million of HELOCs converted to amortizing loans during the year ended December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, $ 329 million of the HELOC portfolio was secured by second liens on the associated properties. Second lien mortgage loans typically possess a higher degree of credit risk given the subordination to the first lien holder in the event of default. In addition to the credit monitoring activities described previously, Schwab also monitors credit risk by reviewing the delinquency status of the first lien loan on the associated property. At December 31, 2025, the borrowers on approximately 61 % of HELOC loan balances outstanding only paid the minimum amount due. 8.

These losses are included in other expense on the consolidated statements of income. For the purpose of measuring impairment loss, the fair value of the asset group was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of the asset group was not material at December 31, 2023. 9. Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, as allocated to our reportable segments, are presented in the following table: Investor Services Advisor Services Total December 31, 2023 $ 7,969 $ 3,982 $ 11,951 Goodwill acquired and other changes during the period (1) 114 ( 114 ) — December 31, 2024 $ 8,083 $ 3,868 $ 11,951 Goodwill acquired and other changes during the period — — — December 31, 2025 $ 8,083 $ 3,868 $ 11,951 (1) In connection with certain changes in Schwab’s organizational management structure, in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Retirement Business Services business unit was transferred from the Advisor Services segment to the Investor Services segment. Related goodwill amounts were transferred from the Advisor Services segment to the Investor Services segment. We performed an assessment of each of the Company’s reporting units as of our annual testing date. Based on this analysis, we concluded that goodwill was not impaired. There were no indicators that goodwill was impaired after our annual testing date. Schwab did not recognize any goodwill impairment in any of the years presented. - 86 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Acquired intangible assets are detailed below: December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value Client relationships $ 9,819 $ ( 2,679 ) $ 7,140 $ 9,819 $ ( 2,171 ) $ 7,648 Technology 216 ( 216 ) — 216 ( 212 ) 4 Trade names 113 ( 20 ) 93 111 ( 20 ) 91 Total acquired intangible assets $ 10,148 $ ( 2,915 ) $ 7,233 $ 10,146 $ ( 2,403 ) $ 7,743 Estimated future annual amortization expense for acquired intangible assets as of December 31, 2025 is as follows: 2026 $ 508 2027 508 2028 507 2029 507 2030 507 Thereafter 4,603 Total $ 7,140 Note: The above schedule excludes indefinite-lived intangible assets of $ 93 million. 10.

See also Notes 2 and 18. (2) Includes LIHTC investments and certain other CRA-related investments (see Note 11). This item also includes investments in FHLB stock of $ 98 million and $ 703 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are required to be held as a condition of borrowing with the FHLB (see Note 13) and can only be sold to the issuer at its par value. Any cash dividends received from investments in FHLB stock are recognized as interest revenue in the consolidated statements of income. Other investments also includes investments in Federal Reserve stock of $ 655 million and $ 657 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively; these holdings are a condition of CSB, CSPB, and Trust Bank’s membership with the Federal Reserve. (3) Represents receivables from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606. Capitalized contract costs Capitalized contract costs relate to incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, including sales commissions paid to employees for obtaining contracts with clients, and are presented in the table above. These costs are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over a period that is consistent with how the related revenue is recognized. Amortization expense related to capitalized contract costs was $ 111 million, $ 97 million, and $ 85 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, which was recorded in compensation and benefits expense on the consolidated statements of income. Contract assets Contract assets relate to the buy down of fixed-rate obligation amounts pursuant to the 2023 IDA agreement, and are presented in the table above. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining contractual term as a reduction to bank deposit account fee revenue. For additional discussion of the 2023 IDA agreement, see Note 15. - 87 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) 11. Variable Interest Entities As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, substantially all of Schwab’s involvement with VIEs is through CSB’s CRA-related investments and most of these are related to LIHTC investments. As part of CSB’s community reinvestment initiatives, CSB invests in funds that make equity investments in multifamily affordable housing properties and receives tax credits and other tax benefits for these investments. During 2025, 2024, and 2023, CSB recorded amortization of $ 187 million, $ 154 million, and $ 119 million, respectively, and recognized tax credits and other tax benefits of $ 248 million, $ 200 million, and $ 153 million, respectively, associated with these investments. The amortization, as well as the tax credits and other tax benefits, are included in taxes on income . Tax credits and other tax benefits are reflected as cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Aggregate assets, liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss The aggregate assets, liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss from those VIEs in which Schwab holds a variable interest, but is not the primary beneficiary, are summarized in the table below: December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Aggregate assets Aggregate liabilities Maximum exposure to loss Aggregate assets Aggregate liabilities Maximum exposure to loss LIHTC investments (1) $ 2,084 $ 1,111 $ 2,084 $ 1,729 $ 947 $ 1,729 Other investments (2) 250 — 342 224 — 340 Total $ 2,334 $ 1,111 $ 2,426 $ 1,953 $ 947 $ 2,069 (1) Aggregate assets and aggregate liabilities are included in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. (2) Other investments include non-LIHTC CRA investments that are accounted for as loans at amortized cost, equity method investments, AFS securities, or using the adjusted cost method. Aggregate assets are included in AFS securities, bank loans – net, or other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Schwab’s maximum exposure to loss would result from the loss of the investments, including any committed amounts. Schwab’s funding of these remaining commitments is dependent upon the occurrence of certain conditions, and Schwab expects to pay substantially all of these commitments between 2026 and 2029. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, Schwab did not provide or intend to provide financial or other support to the VIEs that it was not contractually required to provide. 12. Bank Deposits Bank deposits consist of interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposits as follows: December 31, 2025 2024 Interest-bearing deposits: Deposits swept from brokerage accounts $ 232,410 $ 210,575 Checking 16,473 15,593 Time certificates of deposit (1) 2,000 27,701 Savings and other 3,637 4,015 Total interest-bearing deposits 254,520 257,884 Non-interest-bearing deposits 1,227 1,237 Total bank deposits $ 255,747 $ 259,121 (1) Time certificates of deposit consist of brokered CDs.

Amounts available are dependent upon the value of certain investment securities that are pledged as collateral. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our collateral pledged provided total borrowing capacity of $ 29.3 billion and $ 30.5 billion, respectively, of which no amounts were outstanding at the end of either year. CSC has the ability to issue up to $ 5.0 billion of commercial paper notes with maturities of up to 270 days. There was $ 1.9 billion gross par value before discount of $ 32 million outstanding at December 31, 2025, and no amounts outstanding at December 31, 2024. CSC and CS&Co also have access to unsecured uncommitted lines of credit with external banks with total borrowing capacity of $ 1.9 billion; no amounts were outstanding at December 31, 2025 or 2024. CS&Co maintains secured uncommitted lines of credit, under which CS&Co may borrow on a short-term basis and pledge either client margin securities or firm securities as collateral, based on the terms of the agreements. There was $ 3.8 billion and $ 500 million outstanding at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, pursuant to these agreements. - 91 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Annual maturities on FHLB borrowings and other short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2025 are as follows: 2026 FHLB borrowings $ 1,850 Other short-term borrowings 6,913 Total $ 8,763 14.

The Company had immaterial finance lease cost and sublease income for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. In addition to the costs noted above and as a result of its Ameritrade integration and restructuring efforts, the Company recognized impairment losses on ROU assets of $ 157 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. These losses are included in other expense on the consolidated statements of income. For the purpose of measuring impairment loss, the fair value of the asset group was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of the asset group was not material at December 31, 2023.

Commitments and Contingencies Loan portfolio : CSB provides a co-branded loan origination program for CSB clients (the Program) with Rocket Mortgage, LLC. Pursuant to the Program, Rocket Mortgage, LLC originates and services First Mortgages and HELOCs for CSB clients. Under the Program, CSB purchases certain First Mortgages and HELOCs that are originated by Rocket Mortgage, LLC. CSB purchased First Mortgages of $ 6.7 billion and $ 4.2 billion during 2025 and 2024, respectively. CSB purchased HELOCs with commitments of $ 231 million and $ 157 million during 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s commitments to extend credit on lines of credit and to purchase First Mortgages are as follows: December 31, 2025 2024 Commitments to extend credit related to unused HELOCs and other lines of credit $ 1,793 $ 1,895 Commitments to purchase First Mortgage loans 925 511 Total $ 2,718 $ 2,406 Guarantees and indemnifications : Schwab has clients that sell (i.e., write) listed option contracts that are cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation – a clearing house that establishes margin requirements on these transactions. We satisfy the margin requirements of these transactions through pledging certain client securities. For additional information on these pledged securities, refer to Note 17. In connection with its securities lending activities, Schwab is required to provide collateral to certain brokerage clients. The Company satisfies the collateral requirements by providing cash as collateral. The Company also provides guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges under standard membership agreements, which require members to guarantee the performance of other members. Under the agreements, if another member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing houses and exchanges, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. The Company’s liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and may exceed the amounts it has posted as collateral. The Company also engages third-party firms to clear clients’ futures and options on futures transactions and to facilitate clients’ foreign exchange trading, and has agreed to indemnify these firms for any losses that they may incur from the client transactions introduced to them by the Company. The potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these guarantees and indemnifications. IDA agreement : The 2023 IDA agreement with the TD Depository Institutions specifies responsibilities, including certain contingent obligations, of the Company. Pursuant to the 2023 IDA agreement, uninvested cash within eligible brokerage client accounts is swept off-balance sheet to deposit accounts at the TD Depository Institutions. 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 is 15 basis points. The Company’s ability to migrate these balances to its balance sheet is dependent on multiple factors including having sufficient capital levels to sustain these incremental deposits and certain binding limitations specified in the 2023 IDA agreement. The 2023 IDA agreement extends the term to sweep balances to the TD Depository Institutions through July 1, 2034, and requires that Schwab maintain certain minimum and maximum IDA balances. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, after September 10, 2025, withdrawals of balances are permitted at Schwab’s discretion, subject to an obligation to maintain IDA balances above a minimum of $ 60 billion, with a maximum of $ 90 billion. In accordance with the agreement, after September 10, 2025, Schwab moved $ 6.7 billion of BDA balances to its balance sheet. Designation of deposit balances for investment in fixed- or floating-rate instruments under the 2023 IDA agreement is at Schwab’s sole discretion with certain limitations on the amount of fixed-rate obligation amounts. If IDA balances decline below the required IDA balance minimum as described above, Schwab would be required to make a nonperformance payment to the TD Depository Institutions pursuant to the terms of the 2023 IDA agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the total ending IDA balance was $ 76.3 billion, of which $ 59.6 billion was fixed-rate obligation amounts and $ 16.7 billion was floating-rate obligation amounts. As of December 31, 2024, the total ending IDA balance was $ 87.6 billion, of which $ 66.6 billion was fixed-rate obligation amounts and $ 21.0 billion was floating-rate obligation amounts. Legal contingencies : Schwab is subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, some of which include claims for substantial or unspecified damages. The Company is also the subject of inquiries, investigations, and proceedings by regulatory and other governmental agencies. - 93 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Predicting the outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter is inherently difficult, requiring significant judgment and evaluation of various factors, including the procedural status of the matter and any recent developments; prior experience and the experience of others in similar cases; available defenses, including potential opportunities to dispose of a case on the merits or procedural grounds before trial (e.g., motions to dismiss or for summary judgment); the progress of fact discovery; the opinions of counsel and experts regarding potential damages; and potential opportunities for settlement and the status of any settlement discussions. It may not be reasonably possible to estimate a range of potential liability until the matter is closer to resolution – pending, for example, further proceedings, the outcome of key motions or appeals, or discussions among the parties. Numerous issues may have to be developed, such as discovery of important factual matters and determination of threshold legal issues, which may include novel or unsettled questions of law. Reserves are established or adjusted or further disclosure and estimates of potential loss are provided as the matter progresses and more information becomes available. Schwab believes it has strong defenses in all significant matters currently pending and is contesting liability and any damages claimed. Nevertheless, some of these matters may result in adverse judgments or awards, including penalties, injunctions or other relief, and the Company may also determine to settle a matter because of the uncertainty and risks of litigation. Described below are any matters in which there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss could be incurred or where the matter may otherwise be of significant interest to stockholders. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any potential liability given the stage of proceedings in the matter. With respect to all other pending matters, based on current information and consultation with counsel, it does not appear reasonably possible that the outcome of any such matter would be material to the financial condition, operating results, or cash flows of the Company. Corrente Antitrust Litigation : On June 6, 2022, CSC was sued in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on behalf of a putative class of customers who purchased or sold securities through CS&Co or TD Ameritrade, Inc. (now part of CS&Co) from October 26, 2020 to the present. The lawsuit alleges that CSC’s acquisition of Ameritrade violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act because it has resulted in an anticompetitive market for the execution of retail customer orders. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, as well as injunctive and other relief. A motion by the Company to dismiss the lawsuit was denied by the court on February 24, 2023. On December 12, 2024, the parties filed a joint stipulation proposing a settlement of the lawsuit on a class basis under which defendants would commit to certain non-monetary undertakings and payments of plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs in an amount that would be immaterial. The court granted final approval of the settlement on November 24, 2025, and certain objectors to the settlement have appealed the decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. 16. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures that arise from business activities related to changes in fair values or the receipt and payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts due to changes in interest rates. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage changes in the fair values of, as well as changes in the amounts and/or timing of known or expected cash receipts and payments related to, our AFS investment portfolio, PALs, and Senior Notes. For a description of how the Company accounts for derivative instruments, see Note 2. For additional information on the basis of presentation for derivative instruments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and related offsetting considerations, see Note 17. Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate AFS securities and Senior Notes, as well as its fixed-to-floating rate Senior Notes during the fixed-rate period, due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses cleared interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value of these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. Cleared interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of AFS securities involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a CCP in exchange for the Company receiving floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements. Cleared interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of Senior Notes involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a CCP in exchange for the Company’s floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements. The Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $ 42.2 billion and $ 30.9 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that were designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The notional amount is the basis upon which the pay-fixed/receive-float and receive-fixed/pay-float payments are determined; however, the amount is not exchanged. - 94 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk Beginning in 2025, the Company uses cleared interest rate swaps designated as cash flows hedges as part of its interest rate risk management strategy to add stability to interest revenue and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a CCP in exchange for the Company’s floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Such derivatives are used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with Schwab’s PALs. The Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $ 18.7 billion at December 31, 2025 that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. Fair Values of Derivative Instruments The table below presents the gross fair values of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments on the consolidated balance sheets: December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Interest rate swaps (1,2) $ 1 $ 1 $ — $ — (1) Derivative assets are included in other assets and derivative liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Derivative assets and liabilities were less than $ 500 thousand as of December 31, 2024. (2) Includes reductions related to variation margin settlements. Settlements on derivative positions cleared through CCPs are reflected as reductions to the associated derivative asset and liability balances. As of December 31, 2025, there was a $ 93 million reduction of derivative assets and a $ 21 million reduction of derivative liabilities related to variation margin settlements. At December 31, 2024, there was a $ 295 million reduction of derivative assets and a $ 10 million reduction of derivative liabilities related to variation margin settlements. Effects of Fair Value Hedge Accounting The following amounts are included on the consolidated balance sheets related to fair value hedges: Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets (Liabilities) Cumulative Fair Value Hedging Adjustment Included in the Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets and Liabilities December 31, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Line item in which the hedged item is included: Available for sale securities (1,2) $ 12,249 $ 15,686 $ ( 16 ) $ ( 292 ) Long-term debt (3) ( 20,726 ) ( 14,908 ) ( 6 ) 7 (1) Includes the amortized cost basis of AFS securities included in PLM hedging relationships. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $ 1.1 billion and $ 2.5 billion, respectively, of which $ 771 million and $ 2.0 billion, respectively, was designated in a portfolio layer hedging relationship. The cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships were an increase of $ 2 million and a reduction of $ 47 million of the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. (2) Excludes the amortized cost and fair value hedging adjustment of AFS securities for which hedge accounting has been discontinued. The cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments remaining for these securities was a reduction of the amortized cost basis of $ 26 million and $ 2 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which are recorded in AFS securities on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest revenue as a yield adjustment over the lives of the securities. (3) Excludes the carrying amount and fair value hedging adjustment of long-term debt for which hedge accounting has been discontinued. The cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments remaining for long-term debt was an increase of the carrying amount of $ 5 million at December 31, 2025, which is recorded in long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense over the lives of the borrowings. The table below presents the effect of the Company’s interest rate swaps on the consolidated statements of income: Location and Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income Interest Revenue Interest Expense Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 2025 2024 2023 Gain (loss) on fair value hedging relationships: Hedged items $ 235 $ ( 207 ) $ ( 85 ) $ ( 18 ) $ 7 $ — Derivatives designated as hedging instruments (1) ( 235 ) 206 85 20 ( 7 ) — (1) Interest revenue excludes net gain (loss) from periodic interest accruals and receipts (payments) of $ 36 million, $ 55 million, and $ 2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Interest expense excludes net gain (loss) from periodic interest accruals and receipts (payments) of $( 57 ) million for the year ended December 31, 2025. We began designating swaps as fair value hedges of Senior Notes in 2024. As such, there was no impact to interest expense from periodic interest accruals and receipts (payments) for 2023. - 95 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Effects of Cash Flow Hedge Accounting The table below presents the effect of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges on AOCI (pre-tax) and the consolidated statements of income: Year Ended December 31, 2025 Gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (1) $ ( 17 ) Less: Realized gains (losses) reclassified from AOCI to interest revenue ( 66 ) Net change in AOCI related to cash flow hedges $ 49 (1) Included in net unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the twelve months following December 31, 2025, the Company expects to reclassify from AOCI into interest revenue approximately $ 13 million of pre-tax gains. 17. Financial Instruments Subject to Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk Resale agreements : CS&Co enters into collateralized resale agreements principally with other broker-dealers to meet obligations related to customer protection under SEC Rule 15c3-3. These collateralized resale agreements could result in losses in the event the counterparty fails to purchase the securities held as collateral for the cash advanced and the fair value of the securities declines. To mitigate this risk, CS&Co requires that the counterparty deliver securities to a custodian, to be held as collateral, with a fair value at or in excess of the resale price. CS&Co also sets standards for the credit quality of the counterparty, monitors the fair value of the underlying securities as compared to the related receivable, including accrued interest, and requires additional collateral where deemed appropriate. The collateral provided under these resale agreements is utilized to meet obligations under broker-dealer client protection rules, which place limitations on our ability to access such segregated securities. For CS&Co to repledge or sell this collateral, we would be required to deposit cash and/or securities of an equal amount into our segregated reserve bank accounts in order to meet our segregated cash and investments requirement. CS&Co’s resale agreements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were not subject to master netting arrangements. Amounts related to these resale agreements are included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes in the consolidated balance sheets. Securities lending : Schwab loans brokerage client securities temporarily to other broker-dealers and clearing houses in connection with its securities lending activities and receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in security prices may cause the fair value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event a counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities or provide additional cash collateral, we may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy our client obligations. Schwab mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, monitoring the fair value of securities loaned, and requiring additional cash as collateral when necessary. In addition, most of our securities lending transactions are through a program with a clearing organization, which guarantees the return of collateral to us. We also borrow securities from other broker-dealers to fulfill short sales by brokerage clients and deliver cash to the lender in exchange for the securities. The fair value of these borrowed securities was $ 4.6 billion and $ 674 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our securities lending transactions are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with other broker-dealers; however, we do not net securities lending transactions. Therefore, amounts related to securities borrowed and securities loaned are presented gross in the consolidated balance sheets and are included in receivables from brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations and payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. Repurchase agreements : Schwab’s banking subsidiaries enter into collateralized repurchase agreements with external financial institutions and the FICC in which they sell securities and agree to repurchase these securities on a specified future date at a stated repurchase price. These repurchase agreements are collateralized by investment securities with a fair value equal to or in excess of the secured borrowing liability. CS&Co also enters into collateralized repurchase agreements with external financial institutions in which CS&Co utilizes qualifying securities in client margin accounts as collateral. These repurchase agreements are collateralized by client margin securities with a fair value equal to or in excess of the secured borrowing liability. Client margin securities are transferred to an independent agent on behalf of CS&Co and the counterparty, who assumes the responsibility of receiving eligible securities and assigning these securities to the counterparty. Decreases in security prices posted as collateral for repurchase agreements may require Schwab to transfer cash and/or additional securities deemed acceptable by the counterparty. To mitigate this risk, Schwab monitors the fair value of underlying securities pledged as collateral compared to the related liability. Our collateralized repurchase agreements with each external financial institution are considered to be enforceable master netting arrangements. However, we do not net these arrangements. As such, the secured borrowings associated with these collateralized repurchase agreements are presented gross in the consolidated balance sheets. Repurchase agreements at Schwab’s banking subsidiaries are included in other short-term borrowings in the consolidated - 96 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) balance sheets and repurchase agreements at CS&Co are included in payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest rate swaps : Schwab uses interest rate swaps to manage certain interest rate risk exposures. Schwab’s interest rate swaps are cleared through CCPs which require the Company to post initial margin as collateral against potential losses. Schwab pledges investment securities as collateral in order to meet the CCP’s initial margin requirements. Initial margin is posted through FCMs which serve as the intermediary between CCPs and Schwab. Our interest rate swaps are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements allowing a right of setoff within each FCM-CCP relationship; however, we do not net these positions. Therefore, interest rate swaps are presented gross in the consolidated balance sheets. Derivative assets are included in other assets and derivative liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 16 for additional information on the Company’s interest rate swaps. - 97 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) The following table presents information about our interest rate swaps, resale agreements, securities lending, repurchase agreements, and other activity depicting the potential effect of rights of setoff between these recognized assets and liabilities: Gross Assets/ Liabilities Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amount Counterparty Offsetting Collateral December 31, 2025 Assets Resale agreements $ 16,901 $ — $ 16,901 $ — $ ( 16,901 ) (1) $ — Securities borrowed 4,797 — 4,797 ( 3,069 ) ( 1,677 ) 51 Interest rate swaps (2) 1 — 1 — — (3) 1 Total $ 21,699 $ — $ 21,699 $ ( 3,069 ) $ ( 18,578 ) $ 52 Liabilities Repurchase agreements (4) $ 1,301 $ — $ 1,301 $ — $ ( 1,301 ) (5) $ — Securities loaned (6) 25,131 — 25,131 ( 3,069 ) ( 21,137 ) 925 Secured short-term borrowings (7) 3,800 — 3,800 — ( 3,800 ) — Interest rate swaps (2) 1 — 1 — — (3) 1 Total $ 30,233 $ — $ 30,233 $ ( 3,069 ) $ ( 26,238 ) $ 926 December 31, 2024 Assets Resale agreements $ 10,075 $ — $ 10,075 $ — $ ( 10,075 ) (1) $ — Securities borrowed 695 — 695 ( 617 ) ( 77 ) 1 Interest rate swaps (2) — — — — — (3) — Total $ 10,770 $ — $ 10,770 $ ( 617 ) $ ( 10,152 ) $ 1 Liabilities Repurchase agreements (4) $ 5,499 $ — $ 5,499 $ — $ ( 5,499 ) (5) $ — Securities loaned (6) 13,068 — 13,068 ( 617 ) ( 11,795 ) 656 Secured short-term borrowings (7) 500 — 500 — ( 500 ) — Interest rate swaps (2) — — — — — (3) — Total $ 19,067 $ — $ 19,067 $ ( 617 ) $ ( 17,794 ) $ 656 (1) Actual collateral was greater than or equal to the value of the related assets. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of collateral received in connection with resale agreements that was available to be repledged or sold was $ 17.2 billion and $ 10.3 billion, respectively. (2) Amounts were less than $ 500 thousand as of December 31, 2024. (3) At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of initial margin pledged as collateral related to interest rate swaps was $ 281 million and $ 378 million, respectively. See Notes 6 and 16 for additional information. (4) At December 31, 2025, repurchase agreements outstanding at CS&Co have continuous contractual maturities of 35 days. (5) Actual collateral value was greater than or equal to the value of the related liabilities. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of collateral pledged in connection with repurchase agreements at the Company’s banking subsidiaries was $ 1.3 billion and $ 5.9 billion, respectively. See Note 13 for additional information. At December 31, 2025, collateral pledged for repurchase agreements outstanding at CS&Co was comprised of equity securities held in client brokerage accounts. See table below for fair value of client margin securities held in client brokerage accounts pledged as collateral. (6) Securities loaned are predominantly comprised of equity securities held in client brokerage accounts. At December 31, 2025, $ 15.0 billion of securities loaned had overnight and continuous remaining contractual maturities and $ 10.1 billion of securities loaned had contractual maturities of 35 - 95 days. At December 31, 2024, $ 8.8 billion of securities loaned had overnight and continuous remaining contractual maturities and $ 4.3 billion of securities loaned had contractual maturities of 35 - 95 days. The cash collateral received from counterparties under securities lending transactions was equal to or greater than the market value of the securities loaned at December 31, 2025 and 2024. (7) Included in other short-term borrowings in the consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, collateral pledged for secured short-term borrowings was comprised of equity securities held in client brokerage accounts. See below for amount of collateral pledged and Note 13 for additional information. Client trade settlement : Schwab is obligated to settle transactions with brokers and other financial institutions even if our clients fail to meet their obligations to us. Clients are required to complete their transactions on settlement date, generally one business day after the trade date. If clients do not fulfill their contractual obligations, we may incur losses. We have established procedures to reduce this risk by requiring deposits from clients in excess of amounts prescribed by regulatory requirements for certain types of trades, and therefore the potential to make payments under these client transactions is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these transactions. - 98 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Margin lending : Clients with margin loans have agreed to allow Schwab to pledge collateralized securities in their brokerage accounts in accordance with federal regulations. The following table summarizes the fair value of client securities that were available, under such regulations, that could have been used as collateral, as well as the fair value of securities that we had pledged to third parties under such regulations and from securities borrowed transactions: December 31, 2025 2024 Fair value of client securities available to be pledged $ 155,525 $ 116,258 Fair value of securities pledged for: Fulfillment of requirements with the Options Clearing Corporation (1) $ 34,791 $ 24,011 Fulfillment of client short sales 16,196 5,179 Securities lending to other broker-dealers 23,867 12,282 Collateral for secured short-term borrowings 4,376 618 Collateral for repurchase agreements 56 — Total collateral pledged to third parties $ 79,286 $ 42,090 Note: Excludes amounts available and pledged for securities lending from fully-paid client securities. The fair value of fully-paid client securities available and pledged was $ 217 million and $ 105 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. (1) Securities pledged to fulfill client margin requirements for open option contracts established with the Options Clearing Corporation. - 99 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) 18.

Stockholders’ Equity Common and Nonvoting Common Stock Except as described below, CSC did not issue common shares through external offerings during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023. In conjunction with its acquisition of Ameritrade in 2020, the Company issued shares of a nonvoting class of CSC common stock to TD Bank and its affiliates. Each share of nonvoting common stock has identical rights to common stock, including liquidation and dividend rights, except that holders of nonvoting common stock have no voting rights other than over matters that significantly and adversely affect the rights or preferences of the nonvoting common stock, or as required by applicable law. Holders of nonvoting common stock are restricted from transferring shares except for permitted inside or outside transfers, as defined in the Company’s certificate of incorporation. Shares of nonvoting common stock transferred in a permitted outside transfer are automatically converted to shares of common stock. On February 12, 2025, TD Group US Holdings LLC, an affiliate of TD Bank, completed a secondary public offering of the Company’s common shares through which TD Group US Holdings LLC sold 133.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock and 31.7 million shares of the Company’s nonvoting common stock, which automatically converted into common stock. The offering was completed at a price of $ 79.25 per share, for an aggregate amount of $ 13.1 billion. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from this sale. Concurrent with the completion of the secondary offering, and pursuant to a repurchase agreement dated February 9, 2025, the Company repurchased directly from TD Group US Holdings LLC its remaining 19.2 million shares of nonvoting common stock at a price of $ 77.982 per share for an aggregate repurchase amount of $ 1.5 billion, which settled on February 12, 2025. The shares of nonvoting common stock automatically converted into common stock upon repurchase and transferred to treasury stock, reducing the number of shares outstanding. These shares were purchased under CSC’s previous $ 15.0 billion share repurchase authorization. Through the completion of the secondary offering and the Company’s repurchase of nonvoting common stock, TD Bank disposed of all of its common shares of CSC and as of February 12, 2025, the Company had no remaining nonvoting common stock outstanding. CSC repurchased an additional 3.9 million shares of its common stock for $ 351 million under its previous $ 15.0 billion share repurchase authorization during the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no repurchases of CSC’s common stock during the year ended December 31, 2024, and CSC repurchased 37 million shares of its common stock for $ 2.8 billion during the year ended December 31, 2023, under the previous share repurchase authorization. On July 24, 2025, CSC publicly announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization to repurchase up to $ 20.0 billion of common stock, replacing the previous and now terminated share repurchase authorization of up to $ 15.0 billion of common stock. The new share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date. During the year ended December 31, 2025, CSC repurchased 58.2 million shares of its common stock under the new authorization for $ 5.5 billion. As of December 31, 2025 approximately $ 14.5 billion remained on the new authorization. Common stock repurchases, net of issuances, are subject to a nondeductible excise tax which is recognized as a direct and incremental cost associated with these transactions. The tax is recorded as part of the cost basis of the treasury stock repurchased, resulting in no impact to the consolidated statements of income. Preferred Stock On June 2, 2025, the Company redeemed all of the 24,580 outstanding shares of its fixed-rate reset non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series G, and the corresponding 2,457,964 depositary shares, each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of the Series G preferred stock. The depositary shares were redeemed at a redemption price of $ 1,000 per depositary share for a total of $ 2.5 billion. The difference between the total redemption price and the prior carrying value of the Series G preferred stock resulted in a $ 30 million deemed dividend that was included in the calculation of EPS. There were no redemptions or repurchases of CSC’s preferred stock during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 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, - 103 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) 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 . The repurchase prices are inclusive of $ 3 million of dividends accrued by the stockholders as of the repurchase date. CSC was authorized to issue 9,940,000 shares of preferred stock, $ .01 par value, at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Prior to redemption, dividends were paid quarterly. The final dividend was paid on June 2, 2025. Dividends on CSC’s preferred stock are not cumulative and will only be paid on a series of preferred stock for a dividend period if declared by CSC’s Board of Directors. Under the terms of each series of preferred stock, CSC’s ability to pay dividends on, make distributions with respect to, or to repurchase, redeem or acquire its common stock or any preferred stock ranking on parity with or junior to the series of preferred stock, is subject to restrictions in the event that CSC does not declare and either pay or set aside a sum sufficient for payment of dividends on the series of preferred stock for the immediately preceding dividend period. Dividends on fixed-rate and fixed-rate reset preferred stock are payable quarterly. Dividends on fixed-to-floating-rate preferred stock are payable semi-annually while at a fixed-rate and will become payable quarterly after converting to a floating rate. - 104 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Redemption Rights Each series of CSC’s preferred stock may be redeemed at CSC’s option on any dividend payment date on or after the earliest redemption date for that series. All outstanding preferred stock series may also be redeemed following a “capital treatment event,” as described in the terms of each series set forth in the relevant certificate of designations. Any redemption of CSC’s preferred stock is subject to approval from the Federal Reserve. 20.

Employee Incentive, Retirement, Deferred Compensation, and Career Achievement Plans Schwab’s 2022 Stock Incentive Plan provides for granting options and restricted stock units to employees and non-employee directors. In addition, we offer retirement and employee stock purchase plans to eligible employees and sponsor deferred compensation plans for certain eligible employees and non-employee directors. A summary of share-based compensation expense and related income tax benefit is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Restricted stock unit expense $ 264 $ 266 $ 262 Stock option expense 24 47 33 Employee stock purchase plan expense 29 24 25 Total share-based compensation expense $ 317 $ 337 $ 320 Income tax benefit on share-based compensation expense (1) $ ( 76 ) $ ( 80 ) $ ( 76 ) (1) Excludes income tax benefits from stock options exercised and restricted stock units vested of $ 40 million, $ 20 million, and $ 31 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The Company issues shares for stock options and restricted stock units from treasury stock. At December 31, 2025, the Company was authorized to grant up to 102 million common shares under the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan. Additionally, at December 31, 2025, the Company had 21 million shares reserved for future issuance under its employee stock purchase plan. As of December 31, 2025, there was $ 328 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized through 2029 with a remaining weighted-average service period of 0.6 years for stock options, 1.6 years for restricted stock units without performance conditions, and 0.4 years for performance-based restricted stock units. Stock Options Options are granted for the purchase of shares of common stock at an exercise price not less than market value on the date of grant, and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options generally vest annually over a one - to four-year period from the date of grant. Stock option activity is summarized below: Number of Options (in millions) Weighted- Average Exercise Price per Share Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at December 31, 2024 16 $ 52.50 5.04 $ 358 Granted 1 78.65 Exercised ( 4 ) 40.61 Forfeited (1) — 62.90 Expired (1) — 62.83 Outstanding at December 31, 2025 13 $ 57.77 4.90 $ 567 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2025 13 $ 57.77 4.90 $ 567 Vested and exercisable at December 31, 2025 11 $ 53.74 4.08 $ 496 (1) Number of options was less than 500 thousand. The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between CSC’s closing stock price and the exercise price of each in-the-money option on the last trading day of the period presented. - 106 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Information on stock options granted and exercised is presented below: Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Weighted-average fair value of options granted per share $ 21.99 $ 19.08 $ 19.72 Cash received from options exercised 156 84 49 Tax benefit realized on options exercised 32 17 12 Aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised 178 98 62 We use an option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted. The model takes into account the contractual term of the stock option, expected volatility, dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatility is based on the implied volatility of publicly-traded options on CSC’s stock. Dividend yield is based on the average historical CSC dividend yield. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term similar to the contractual term of the option. We use historical option exercise data, which includes employee termination data, to estimate the probability of future option exercises. The assumptions used to value the options granted during the years presented and their expected lives were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Weighted-average expected dividend yield 1.53 % 1.70 % 1.70 % Weighted-average expected volatility 30 % 30 % 31 % Weighted-average risk-free interest rate 3.7 % 3.9 % 3.9 % Expected life (in years) 4.1 - 5.2 4.1 - 5.2 4.1 - 5.3 Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock units are awards that entitle the holder to receive shares of CSC’s common stock following a vesting period and are restricted from transfer or sale until vested. Restricted stock units without performance conditions generally vest annually over a one - to four-year period, while performance-based restricted stock units generally cliff vest over a three-year period and also require the Company to achieve certain financial or other measures prior to vesting. The fair value of restricted stock units is based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock units that vested during each of the years 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $ 295 million, $ 281 million, and $ 288 million, respectively. The Company’s restricted stock units activity is summarized below: Restricted Stock Units Without Performance Conditions (in millions) Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (in millions) Total Number of Restricted Stock Units (in millions) Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit Outstanding at December 31, 2024 8 2 10 $ 72.10 Granted (1) 3 — 3 79.07 Vested ( 3 ) ( 1 ) ( 4 ) 73.50 Forfeited (1) — — — 73.30 Outstanding at December 31, 2025 8 1 9 $ 74.20 (1) Number of units was less than 500 thousand. Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans Employees can participate in Schwab’s qualified retirement plan, the SchwabPlan Retirement Savings and Investment Plan. The Company may match certain employee contributions or make additional contributions to this plan at its discretion. The Company’s total expense was $ 238 million, $ 219 million, and $ 233 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Schwab’s deferred compensation plan for certain eligible employees permits participants to defer the receipt of certain cash compensation. The deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors permits participants to defer receipt of all or a portion of their cash compensation and to receive either a grant of stock options or restricted stock units. The deferred compensation liability was $ 283 million and $ 251 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. - 107 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Financial Consultant Career Achievement Plan The financial consultant career achievement plan is a noncontributory, unfunded, nonqualified plan for eligible financial consultants. A financial consultant is eligible for earned cash payments after retirement contingent upon meeting certain performance levels, tenure, age, and client transitioning requirements. Allocations to the plan are calculated annually based on performance levels achieved and eligible compensation, and are subject to general creditors of the Company. Among other conditions, full vesting occurs when a financial consultant reaches 60 years of age and has at least ten years of service with the Company.

Regulatory Requirements CSC is a savings and loan holding company and is subject to examination, supervision, and regulation by the Federal Reserve. CSB, CSC’s primary depository institution subsidiary, is a Texas-chartered state savings bank and is a member of the Federal Reserve system. CSB is subject to examination, supervision, and regulation by the Federal Reserve, the TDSML, the CFPB, and the FDIC as its deposit insurer. CSC is required to serve as a source of strength for our banking subsidiaries. CSB is subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state laws, including regulatory capital requirements and requirements that restrict and govern the terms of affiliate transactions, such as extensions of credit to, or asset purchases from CSC or its other subsidiaries by CSB. In addition, our banking subsidiaries are required to provide notice to, and in certain cases are required to obtain approval from, the Federal Reserve and the banking subsidiaries’ state regulators in order to declare - 109 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) and pay dividends to CSC in excess of the amount of recent net income and retained earnings. The federal banking agencies have broad powers to enforce regulations, including the power to terminate deposit insurance, impose substantial fines and other civil and criminal penalties, and appoint a conservator or receiver. Under the prompt corrective action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, CSB could be subject to restrictive actions if it were to fall within one of the lowest three of five capital categories. CSC and CSB are required to maintain minimum capital levels as specified in federal banking regulations. Failure to meet the minimum levels could result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on CSC and CSB. At December 31, 2025, both CSC and CSB met all of their respective capital requirements. The regulatory capital and ratios for CSC (consolidated) and CSB are as follows: Actual Minimum to be Well Capitalized Minimum Capital Requirement December 31, 2025 Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (1) CSC Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital $ 36,081 30.4 % N/A $ 5,345 4.5 % Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital 42,844 36.1 % N/A 7,127 6.0 % Total Risk-Based Capital 42,894 36.1 % N/A 9,503 8.0 % Tier 1 Leverage 42,844 9.3 % N/A 18,499 4.0 % Supplementary Leverage Ratio 42,844 9.2 % N/A 13,974 3.0 % CSB Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital $ 28,126 35.9 % $ 5,088 6.5 % $ 3,523 4.5 % Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital 28,126 35.9 % 6,262 8.0 % 4,697 6.0 % Total Risk-Based Capital 28,163 36.0 % 7,828 10.0 % 6,262 8.0 % Tier 1 Leverage 28,126 11.1 % 12,641 5.0 % 10,113 4.0 % Supplementary Leverage Ratio 28,126 11.0 % N/A 7,649 3.0 % December 31, 2024 CSC Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital $ 35,995 31.7 % N/A $ 5,114 4.5 % Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital 45,186 39.8 % N/A 6,819 6.0 % Total Risk-Based Capital 45,218 39.8 % N/A 9,092 8.0 % Tier 1 Leverage 45,186 9.9 % N/A 18,325 4.0 % Supplementary Leverage Ratio 45,186 9.8 % N/A 13,836 3.0 % CSB Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital $ 32,584 41.7 % $ 5,079 6.5 % $ 3,516 4.5 % Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital 32,584 41.7 % 6,251 8.0 % 4,688 6.0 % Total Risk-Based Capital 32,606 41.7 % 7,813 10.0 % 6,251 8.0 % Tier 1 Leverage 32,584 11.6 % 14,035 5.0 % 11,228 4.0 % Supplementary Leverage Ratio 32,584 11.5 % N/A 8,479 3.0 % (1) Under risk-based capital rules, CSC and CSB are also required to maintain additional capital buffers above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, CSC was subject to a stress capital buffer of 2.5% and CSB was required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. CSC and CSB are also required to maintain a countercyclical capital buffer above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios, which was zero for both periods presented. If a buffer falls below the minimum requirement, CSC and CSB would be subject to increasingly strict limits on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the minimum capital ratio requirements for both CSC and CSB, inclusive of their respective buffers, were 7.0%, 8.5%, and 10.5% for Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital, respectively. N/A Not applicable. Based on its regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2025 and 2024, CSB is considered well capitalized (the highest category) under its respective regulatory capital rules. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2025 that management believes have changed CSB’s capital category. CSC’s other banking subsidiaries are CSPB and Trust Bank. CSPB is a Texas-chartered state savings bank that provides banking and custody services, and Trust Bank is a Nevada state-chartered savings bank that provides trust and custody services. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balance sheets of CSPB and Trust Bank consisted primarily of investment securities. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, CSPB held total assets of $ 27.0 billion and $ 26.5 billion, respectively, and Trust Bank held total - 110 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) assets of $ 10.4 billion and $ 10.1 billion, respectively. Based on their regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2025 and 2024, CSPB and Trust Bank are considered well capitalized under their respective regulatory capital rules. As a securities broker-dealer, CS&Co is subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule. CS&Co computes net capital under the alternative method permitted by the Uniform Net Capital Rule, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, as defined, of the greater of 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from client transactions or a minimum dollar requirement, which is based on the type of business conducted by the broker-dealer. Under the alternative method, a broker-dealer may not repay subordinated borrowings, pay cash dividends, or make any unsecured advances or loans if such payment would result in a net capital amount of less than 5% of aggregate debit balances or less than 120% of its minimum dollar requirement. Net capital and net capital requirements for CS&Co are as follows: December 31, 2025 2024 Net capital $ 13,188 $ 11,112 Minimum dollar requirement 0.250 0.250 2% of aggregate debit balances 2,559 2,049 Net capital in excess of required net capital 10,629 9,063 Pursuant to the SEC’s Customer Protection Rule and other applicable regulations, Schwab had cash and investments segregated for the exclusive benefit of clients at December 31, 2025. The SEC’s Customer Protection Rule requires broker-dealers to segregate client fully-paid securities and cash balances not collateralizing margin positions and not swept to money market funds or bank deposit accounts. Amounts included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes represent actual balances on deposit, whereas cash and investments required to be segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes at December 31, 2025 for CS&Co totaled $ 46.4 billion. As of January 5, 2026, CS&Co had deposited $ 5.3 billion of cash into its segregated reserve accounts. Cash and investments required to be segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes at December 31, 2024 for CS&Co totaled $ 38.2 billion. Cash and cash equivalents included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes are presented as part of Schwab’s cash balances in the consolidated statements of cash flows. 24. Segment Information Schwab’s two reportable segments are Investor Services and Advisor Services. Schwab structures the operating segments according to its clients and the services provided to those clients. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage, investment advisory, and banking and trust services to individual investors, retirement plan and business 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 to independent RIAs, independent retirement advisors, and recordkeepers. Revenues and expenses are attributed to the two segments based on which segment services the client. Schwab’s chief operating decision makers (CODMs) are the President and Chief Executive Officer, and the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2. For the computation of its segment information, Schwab utilizes an activity-based costing model to allocate traditional income statement line item expenses (e.g., compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, and professional services) to the business activities driving segment expenses (e.g., client service, opening new accounts, or business development) and a funds transfer pricing methodology to allocate certain revenues. The CODMs evaluate the performance of the segments on a pre-tax basis and use income before taxes on income to allocate resources, including employees and capital, to the segments during the annual budgeting process. The CODMs consider budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating resources to the segments throughout the year. Segment assets and liabilities are not used for evaluating segment performance or in deciding how to allocate resources to segments. There are no revenues from transactions between the segments. - 111 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) Financial information for the segments is presented in the following table: Investor Services Advisor Services Total Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 2025 2024 2023 2025 2024 2023 Net Revenues Net interest revenue $ 9,328 $ 7,317 $ 7,193 $ 2,422 $ 1,827 $ 2,234 $ 11,750 $ 9,144 $ 9,427 Asset management and administration fees 4,756 4,146 3,492 1,750 1,570 1,264 6,506 5,716 4,756 Trading revenue 3,525 2,895 2,821 396 369 409 3,921 3,264 3,230 Bank deposit account fees 766 568 546 211 161 159 977 729 705 Other 624 632 598 143 121 121 767 753 719 Total net revenues 18,999 15,558 14,650 4,922 4,048 4,187 23,921 19,606 18,837 Expenses Excluding Interest Compensation and benefits 5,025 4,656 4,779 1,466 1,387 1,536 6,491 6,043 6,315 Professional services 953 834 824 244 219 234 1,197 1,053 1,058 Occupancy and equipment 876 823 951 241 237 303 1,117 1,060 1,254 Advertising and market development 280 256 296 140 141 101 420 397 397 Communications 439 415 441 181 176 188 620 591 629 Depreciation and amortization 644 716 609 206 200 195 850 916 804 Amortization of acquired intangible assets 418 445 449 94 74 85 512 519 534 Regulatory fees and assessments 237 311 387 50 87 160 287 398 547 Other 806 782 703 162 155 218 968 937 921 Total expenses excluding interest 9,678 9,238 9,439 2,784 2,676 3,020 12,462 11,914 12,459 Income before taxes on income $ 9,321 $ 6,320 $ 5,211 $ 2,138 $ 1,372 $ 1,167 $ 11,459 $ 7,692 $ 6,378 Capital expenditures $ 463 $ 465 $ 600 $ 139 $ 142 $ 204 $ 602 $ 607 $ 804 25. Earnings Per Common Share As described in Note 19, TD Bank disposed of all of its common shares of CSC during the first quarter of 2025, including its holdings of nonvoting common stock. As of February 12, 2025, the Company had no remaining nonvoting common stock outstanding and accordingly, no dividends were paid on nonvoting common stock during the year ended December 31, 2025. EPS is computed using the two-class method. Preferred stock dividends, and undistributed earnings and dividends allocated to participating securities are subtracted from net income in determining net income available to common stockholders. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated similar to basic EPS except that the numerator and denominator are adjusted as necessary for any effects of dilutive potential common shares, which include, if dilutive, outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted stock units. For the computations of basic and diluted EPS, undistributed net income of the Company was allocated on a proportionate basis to the voting and nonvoting common stock, as the distribution rights of the two classes were identical. Diluted EPS was calculated using the treasury stock method for outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted stock units and the if-converted method for nonvoting common stock, which assumed conversion of all outstanding nonvoting common stock to common stock. - 112 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Option Price Amounts, Ratios, or as Noted) The computations of basic and diluted EPS for common stock and nonvoting common stock for the year ended December 31, 2025 are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2025 Common Stock Nonvoting Common Stock Consolidated Common Stock Basic earnings per share: Numerator Net income $ 8,830 $ 22 $ 8,852 Preferred stock dividends and other (1) ( 434 ) ( 1 ) ( 435 ) Net income available to common stockholders $ 8,396 $ 21 $ 8,417 Denominator Weighted-average common shares outstanding — basic 1,798 51 1,804 Basic earnings per share $ 4.67 $ .41 $ 4.67 Diluted earnings per share: Numerator Net income available to common stockholders $ 8,396 $ 21 $ 8,417 Reallocation of net income available to common stockholders as a result of conversion of nonvoting to voting shares 21 — — Allocation of net income available to common stockholders $ 8,417 $ 21 $ 8,417 Denominator Weighted-average common shares outstanding — basic 1,798 51 1,804 Conversion of nonvoting shares to voting shares 6 — — Common stock equivalent shares related to stock incentive plans 5 — 5 Weighted-average common shares outstanding — diluted (2) 1,809 51 1,809 Diluted earnings per share $ 4.65 $ .41 $ 4.65 (1) Includes preferred stock dividends and undistributed earnings and dividends allocated to non-vested restricted stock units.

We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. Basis for Opinions The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. - 117 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Asset Management and Administration Fees (AMAF) and Trading Revenue– Refer to Note 3 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description Net revenues from the third-party mutual funds and managed investing solutions components of AMAF are generated through third-party mutual fund offerings, and fee-based managed investing solutions, respectively. Commissions within trading revenue are generated through fees earned for executing trades for clients in individual equities, options, and certain third-party mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs). Third-party mutual funds, managed investing solutions, and commissions are made up of a significant volume of low-dollar transactions, and use automated systems to process and record these transactions based on underlying information sourced from multiple systems and contractual terms with individual investors and third-party mutual funds. Given that the Company’s processes to record revenue from third-party mutual funds, managed investing solutions, and commissions are highly automated and involve multiple systems and databases, auditing these revenue components was complex and challenging due to the extent of audit effort required and involvement of professionals with expertise in information technology (IT) necessary for us to identify, test, and evaluate the Company’s systems, software applications, and automated controls. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the Company’s systems to process the third-party mutual funds and managed investing solutions within AMAF, and commissions within trading revenue transactions included the following, among others: • With the assistance of our IT specialists, we: ◦ Identified the significant systems used to process third-party mutual funds, managed investing solutions, and commissions revenue transactions and, using a risk-based approach, tested the relevant general IT controls over each of these systems. ◦ Performed testing of automated business controls and system interface controls (including batch processing) within the relevant third-party mutual funds, managed investing solutions, and commissions revenues. ◦ For a sample of pricing rules, inspected configuration and ascertained that the relevant systems applied appropriate rates and calculated third-party mutual funds, managed investing solutions, and commissions revenue completely and accurately. • We tested internal controls within the relevant third-party mutual funds, managed investing solutions, and commissions revenue business processes, including those in place to reconcile the various systems to the Company’s general ledger. • We created data visualizations to evaluate recorded third-party mutual funds, managed investing solutions, and commissions revenue and evaluate trends in the data. • For a sample of third-party mutual funds, managed investing solutions, and commissions revenue transactions, we performed detail transaction testing by agreeing the amounts recognized to contractual agreements and testing the mathematical accuracy of the recorded revenue. • For a sample of third-party mutual funds and managed investing solutions accounts, we tested the accuracy and completeness of assets under management by obtaining independent pricing support and reconciling total positions to third-party statements. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Dallas, TX February 25, 2026 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1976. - 118 - THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management of The Charles Schwab Corporation, together with its subsidiaries (the Company), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
