CEO Walt Bettinger said, “As we remain faithful to our “Through Clients’ Eyes” strategy, investors continue to reward us with strong business growth. Our contemporary full-service model helps us remain a trusted partner as clients navigate an environment that has only grown more cloudy in recent months. The equity markets have shown noteworthy durability – the S&P 500 remained up nearly 20% for the year as of quarter-end. Concerns persist, however, regarding global trade and a generally softening economic outlook. The Federal Reserve has moved forward with expected mid-cycle easing, cutting short-term interest rates 25 bps in both July and September, and long-term rates have also shown significant declines. Against this backdrop, clients brought us $56.6 billion in core net new assets, a third quarter record, which brings our year-to-date total to $145.5 billion, representing a 6% annualized organic growth rate. In addition, we attracted 363,000 new brokerage accounts in the quarter, helping raise active brokerage accounts to 12.1 million, up 6% year-over-year. Client demand for help and guidance continued to grow, with assets receiving ongoing advisory services reaching nearly $2.0 trillion at quarter end, up 7%. Assets in digital advisory solutions grew even faster, rising 20% to $43.0 billion at the end of September. Overall, our client assets totaled a record $3.77 trillion at quarter end, up 6%.”

“Our commitment to challenge the status quo and disrupt the industry on behalf of clients endures through all environments,” Mr. Bettinger added. “Most recently, we eliminated online trade commissions for stocks, ETFs, and options listed on U.S. or Canadian exchanges, a move that represents another significant investment in bringing ever greater value to our clients. This action is consistent with the principles on which our company was founded, helping realize Chuck Schwab’s vision of making investing accessible to all. We also continue to extend our products and platforms, including the recent launch of three new fixed-income ETFs. In support of our independent advisors, we’ve made enhancements to Institutional Intelligent Portfolios® including a paperless account conversion feature making it simpler than ever to incorporate automated investing into their practices, while freeing up time to spend with investors and scale their businesses. Additionally, on July 25th, we announced an agreement to acquire certain assets of USAA’s Investment Management Company, with closing targeted for the middle of next year. We are honored to have the opportunity to serve USAA members as their exclusive wealth management and brokerage provider, and are looking forward to exploring a new growth opportunity via the multi-year referral agreement included in this transaction.”

Mr. Bettinger concluded, “Schwab’s ‘Virtuous Cycle’ is renewed by bold steps like our recent price cuts, reflecting our belief that investors will entrust us with more business as we do right by them. We are acting from a position of strength – both financial and competitive – which allows us to take these steps with confidence, knowing we are able to push forward as we choose, not as the current environment might dictate.”

CFO Peter Crawford commented, “Our continued success with clients and full-service model enabled us to deliver third quarter revenues of $2.7 billion, up 5% year-over-year. Net interest revenue rose 7% from a year ago to $1.6 billion, largely a result of generally higher investment yields and higher client cash allocations. Growing client balances in purchased money market funds, advisory solutions, and other third-party mutual funds and ETFs pushed asset management and administration fees to $825 million, increasing 2% year-over-year. A pick-up in trading volumes was more than offset by a decline in average revenue per trade, bringing trading revenue to $172 million, down 2% from a year ago. Turning to expenses, our reported total of $1.5 billion includes $62 million in severance charges associated with our decision to eliminate positions spanning approximately 3% of our workforce, as we work to ensure we remain properly positioned to serve clients through what has become a more challenging environment. These charges contributed roughly half of our 8% year-over-year expense growth. Ongoing expenses remained in line with management expectations and we were able to report a pre-tax profit margin of 45.6% – our sixth consecutive quarter of at least 45%.”

Mr. Crawford added, “Consistent with the evolution of the Schwab story to include both business growth and meaningful capital returns, we repurchased 19.9 million shares for approximately $770 million during the third quarter. We have repurchased more than 49 million shares for $2 billion under our current $4 billion authorization. Our expanding client base and related increases in their cash balances drove modest organic growth in our balance sheet during the third quarter, with consolidated assets increasing $2.7 billion sequentially to $279 billion at September 30th. Our preliminary Tier 1 Leverage Ratio ended the quarter at 7.3%, slightly above our operating objective of 6.75%-7.00%; our capital management in coming quarters will incorporate preparations for the $1.8 billion USAA transaction next year. With a 20% return on equity for the quarter and year-to-date, we remain well-positioned to drive strong profitable growth into the future through a combination of sustained business momentum, thoughtful expense management, and a healthy balance sheet.”
