Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)



Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC) is a savings and loan holding company. Incorporated in 1986, CSC engages, through its subsidiaries, in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services.

Principal business subsidiaries of CSC include the following:

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (CS&Co), incorporated in 1971, a securities broker-dealer;
TD Ameritrade, Inc., an introducing securities broker-dealer;
TD Ameritrade Clearing, Inc. (TDAC), a securities broker-dealer that provides trade execution and clearing services to TD Ameritrade, Inc.;
Charles Schwab Bank, SSB (CSB), our principal banking entity; and
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab’s proprietary mutual funds (Schwab Funds®) and for Schwab’s exchange-traded funds (Schwab ETFs).

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Schwab,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean CSC together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Schwab provides financial services to individuals and institutional clients through two segments – Investor Services and Advisor Services. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage and banking services to individual investors, and retirement plan services, as well as other corporate brokerage services, to businesses and their employees. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, banking, and support services, as well as retirement business services, to independent registered investment advisors (RIAs), independent retirement advisors, and recordkeepers.

Effective October 6, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (TDA Holding) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “TD Ameritrade” or “TDA”). TD Ameritrade provides securities brokerage services, including trade execution, clearing services, and margin lending, through its broker-dealer subsidiaries; and futures and foreign exchange trade execution services through its futures commission merchant (FCM) and forex dealer member (FDM) subsidiary. The TD Ameritrade acquisition is further described in Note 3 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements below. Our consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and financial condition of TD Ameritrade beginning on October 6, 2020.

Schwab was founded on the belief that all Americans deserve access to a better investing experience. Although much has changed in the intervening years, our purpose remains clear – to champion every client’s goals with passion and integrity. Guided by this purpose and our vision of creating the most trusted leader in investment services, management has adopted a strategy described as “Through Clients’ Eyes.”

This strategy emphasizes placing clients’ perspectives, needs, and desires at the forefront. Because investing plays a fundamental role in building financial security, we strive to deliver a better investing experience for our clients – individual investors and the people and institutions who serve them – by disrupting longstanding industry practices on their behalf and providing superior service. We also aim to offer a broad range of products and solutions to meet client needs with a focus on transparency, value, and trust. In addition, management works to couple Schwab’s scale and resources with ongoing expense discipline to keep costs low and ensure that products and solutions are affordable as well as responsive to client needs. In combination, these are the key elements of our “no trade-offs” approach to serving investors. We believe that following this strategy is the best way to maximize our market valuation and stockholder returns over time.

Management estimates that investable wealth in the United States (U.S.) (consisting of assets in defined contribution, retail wealth management and brokerage, and registered investment advisor channels, along with bank deposits) currently exceeds $70 trillion, which means the Company’s $7.61 trillion in total client assets leaves substantial opportunity for growth. Our strategy is based on the principle that developing trusted relationships will translate into more assets from both new and existing clients, ultimately driving more revenue, and along with expense discipline and thoughtful capital management, will generate earnings growth and build long-term stockholder value.

Throughout the first nine months of 2021, Schwab continued to drive business momentum while supporting investors through an uneven economic recovery. While positive sentiment largely persisted during the first nine months of 2021, a variety of factors in the macroeconomic landscape, such as the pace of economic growth and the potential path of inflation, affected investor sentiment in the third quarter, as the S&P 500® ended September essentially flat versus June 30 and up 15% for the year. Clients opened 1.2 million new brokerage accounts during the third quarter, bringing year-to-date new brokerage accounts to 6.0 million. Client engagement remained strong throughout the first nine months of 2021, softening modestly from the second quarter to the third quarter as daily average trades (DATs) of 5.5 million in the third quarter represented a decrease of

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

8% from the second quarter of 2021. Third quarter core net new assets of $139.0 billion brought the year-to-date 2021 total to $396.0 billion, representing an 8% annualized organic growth rate. Total client assets ended the third quarter of 2021 at $7.61 trillion, up 1% from June 30, 2021 and up 14% from December 31, 2020.

Schwab’s dedicated employees are critical to the Company’s success, including helping to advance key strategic initiatives such as the TD Ameritrade integration. During the third quarter of 2021, we implemented a special 5% pay increase effective at the end of the quarter for nearly all of our more than thirty thousand employees, and introduced a hybrid workplace program designed to provide flexibility as we seek to continue to attract and retain talent in a competitive landscape.

Schwab’s strong financial performance in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 reflects consistent execution of our strategy. Net income for the third quarter and first nine months totaled $1.5 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, increasing 119% and 98% from the same periods in 2020. The Company’s diluted earnings per common share (EPS) totaled $.74 and $2.06 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, increasing 54% and 34% from the comparable periods in 2020. Adjusted diluted EPS (1), which excludes acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and related income tax effects, amounted to $.84 and $2.39 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, up 65% and 44%, respectively, from the same periods in 2020. Our financial results in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 were significantly impacted by our acquisition of TD Ameritrade, as detailed further in Results of Operations.

Total net revenues were $4.6 billion and $13.8 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, representing growth of 87% and 84%, respectively, from the same periods in the prior year. Net interest revenue was $2.0 billion and $5.9 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, rising 51% and 37% from the comparable periods in 2020. Net interest revenue grew 4% versus the second quarter of 2021 due largely to growth in interest-earning assets, including strength in lending activity and rising investment portfolio balances, partially offset by a decline in securities lending revenue and a lower average yield on outstanding margin loans. Asset management and administration fees totaled $1.1 billion and $3.2 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, growing 28% and 27%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2020. These increases were due primarily to the inclusion of TD Ameritrade as well as rising balances in advice solutions and both proprietary and third-party mutual fund and ETFs, partially offset by lower revenue on money market funds. Rising balances in both proprietary and third-party mutual funds and ETFs and advice solutions in the third quarter of 2021 contributed to 5% sequential growth in asset management and administration fees from the second quarter.

Trading revenue was $964 million in the third quarter and $3.1 billion in the first nine months of 2021, respectively, up from $181 million and $562 million in the comparable periods of the prior year. This growth was due to the inclusion of TD Ameritrade in the first nine months of 2021, the overall strong trading environment, and mix of trades. Trading revenue in the third quarter was 1% higher than the second quarter of 2021, as a higher proportion of options trades helped increase revenue per trade, offsetting the impact of an 8% decrease in DATs. Bank deposit account fees totaled $323 million and $1.0 billion during the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, as bank deposit account balances (BDA balances) ended the third quarter at $153.3 billion, down 6% from year-end 2020 due primarily to migrations to Schwab’s balance sheet.

Total expenses excluding interest were $2.6 billion and $8.1 billion during the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, rising 64% and 73% from the comparable periods in 2020. These increases were primarily due to the inclusion of TD Ameritrade’s results and higher compensation and benefits expense driven by additional headcount to support our expanding client base. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, acquisition and integration-related costs totaled $104 million and $367 million, respectively, and amortization of acquired intangible assets was $153 million and $461 million, respectively. Exclusive of these items, adjusted total expenses (1) were $2.3 billion and $7.3 billion for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, up 54% and 63%, respectively, from the same periods in 2020. Total expenses excluding interest decreased 9% in the third quarter of 2021 from the second quarter of the year while adjusted total expenses decreased 8%; both changes were driven primarily by lower other expenses due to the second quarter’s charge for a regulatory matter (see Item 1 – Note 10).

Return on average common stockholders’ equity was 12% and 11% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared with 10% and 12% from the same periods in 2020. Return on tangible common equity (1) (ROTCE) was 23% and 21% for the third quarter and first nine months of the year, respectively, up from 12% and 14% for the comparable periods in 2020, rising primarily as a result of higher net income.

(1) Adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted total expenses, and return on tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results.

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

Throughout the first nine months of 2021, the Company continued its consistent approach to balance sheet management, supporting growth and liquidity. Total balance sheet assets rose to $607.5 billion as of September 30, 2021, increasing 6% from the end of the second quarter and 11% from December 31, 2020, as the Company saw continued organic growth in client cash balances, as well as initial BDA balance migrations. In addition to issuances of debt and preferred stock earlier in 2021, during the third quarter the Company issued $850 million in long-term senior notes and also completed a tender offer to exchange $2.0 billion of TDA Holding senior notes for an equivalent amount of CSC senior notes. At the end of the third quarter, Schwab’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 6.3%, down slightly from 6.4% at June 30, 2021.

Though significantly heightened client activity levels during the first quarter of 2021 impacted our service quality at times, we have taken multiple steps to better deliver the service experience our clients deserve and rely on, including enhancing online self-service capabilities, streamlining our call-routing processes, and increasing hiring. Our efforts have been yielding results, with significant improvement in client service levels by the end of the first quarter of 2021, and our service levels continued to improve in the second and third quarters as client activity moderated.

Integration of TD Ameritrade

As a result of the significant growth seen in recent quarters across key client volume metrics, including the number of active brokerage accounts, DATs, and peak daily trades, the Company has increased the scope of technology work related to the integration. In the first nine months of 2021, we commenced greater technology build-out to support the expanded volumes of our combined client base. Based on our current integration plans and expanded scope of technology work, the Company continues to expect to complete client conversion within 30 to 36 months from the October 6, 2020 acquisition, and we expect to incur total acquisition and integration-related costs and capital expenditures of between $2.0 billion and $2.2 billion.

The Company’s estimates of the nature, amounts, and timing of recognition of acquisition and integration-related costs remain subject to change based on a number of factors, including the expected duration and complexity of the integration process and the continued uncertainty of the current economic environment. More specifically, factors that could cause variability in our expected acquisition and integration-related costs include the level of employee attrition, workforce redeployment from eliminated positions into open roles, changes in the levels of client activity, as well as increased real estate-related exit cost variability due to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Over the course of the integration, we continue to expect to realize annualized cost synergies of between $1.8 billion and
$2.0 billion, and, through the third quarter of 2021, we have achieved approximately 40% of this amount on an annualized run-rate basis. Estimated timing and amounts of synergy realization are subject to change as we progress in the integration. Refer to Item 7 – Overview in our 2020 Form 10-K and Item 1 – Note 11 for additional information regarding our integration of TD Ameritrade.

Current Regulatory Environment and Other Developments

Liquidity Coverage Ratio

As a result of our average weighted short-term wholesale funding for the past four quarters exceeding $75 billion, we became subject to daily reporting of our liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and net stable funding ratio (NSFR) to the Federal Reserve on July 1, 2021, and became subject to the full (100%) LCR and NSFR (up from 85%) on October 1, 2021.

Financial Holding Company Election

On March 16, 2021, CSC’s declaration electing to be treated as a Financial Holding Company (FHC) was deemed effective by the Federal Reserve. In addition to the activities that a savings and loan holding company that has not elected to be treated as an FHC is permitted to conduct, the Company may now also engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity (FHC Activities), including securities underwriting, dealing and making markets in securities, various insurance underwriting activities, and making merchant banking investments in non-financial companies.

The Federal Reserve has the authority to limit an FHC’s ability to conduct otherwise permissible FHC Activities if the FHC or any of its depository institution subsidiaries ceases to meet the applicable eligibility requirements, including requirements that the FHC and each of its depository institution subsidiaries maintain their status as “well-capitalized” and “well-managed.” If the Federal Reserve finds that an FHC fails to meet these requirements, the FHC and its subsidiaries may not commence any new FHC Activity, either de novo or through an acquisition, without prior Federal Reserve approval. The Federal Reserve may also

impose any additional limitations or conditions on the conduct or activities of the FHC or any of its subsidiaries as it deems appropriate. If the FHC still fails to satisfy the applicable eligibility requirements 180 days after the Federal Reserve’s finding, the agency may require divestiture of all of the FHC’s depository institution subsidiaries or, alternatively, the FHC may elect to cease all of its FHC Activities. In addition, if any depository institution controlled by an FHC fails to maintain at least a “Satisfactory” rating under the Community Reinvestment Act, the FHC and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in additional FHC Activities.

Net Interest Revenue

Revenue on interest-earning assets is affected by various factors, such as the composition of assets, prevailing interest rates and spreads at the time of origination or purchase, changes in interest rates on floating rate securities and loans, and changes in prepayment levels for mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities and loans.

As the U.S. economic recovery continued in the first nine months of 2021, interest rates remained historically low. Short-term rates remained near zero throughout the first nine months of 2021; longer-term interest rates began to rise early in the year, and remained largely unchanged in the third quarter. In addition, elevated levels of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities, though moderating slightly in the third quarter, persisted throughout the period and resulted in accelerated reinvestment of the available for sale (AFS) portfolio. Moreover, Schwab saw significant growth in new client brokerage accounts and net new client assets throughout the first nine months of 2021, driving growth in Schwab’s interest-earning assets. At the same time, client engagement in the equity markets increased and clients were net buyers of equity securities and other investment products, resulting in outflows of client cash and partially offsetting the growth in interest-earning assets.

(1) Amounts have been calculated based on amortized cost.
(2) Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, securities lending revenue has been reclassified from broker-related receivables and other revenue. Securities lending expense has been reclassified from other expense. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect this change.
(3) Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, broker-related receivables were removed from total interest earning assets and netted against non-interest-bearing funding sources, resulting in an immaterial reduction to total interest-earning assets and total funding sources. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect this change.
(4) Interest revenue or expense was less than $500 thousand in the period or periods presented.

Net interest revenue increased $687 million, or 51%, and $1.6 billion or 37% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. These increases were due largely to significant growth in margin loans and securities lending revenue, driven significantly by our acquisition of TD Ameritrade. The increases in net interest revenue were also supported by overall growth in interest-earning assets, including growth in investment portfolio balances and bank loans, partially offset by lower average yields. Accelerated premium amortization stemming from the elevated prepayment of mortgage-related debt securities in the AFS portfolio partially offset the growth in net interest revenue. TD Ameritrade contributed $534 million and $1.6 billion of net interest revenue during the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively.

Average interest-earning assets for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 were higher by 44% and 54%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. This increase resulted from higher bank deposits and payables to brokerage clients, due to heightened client cash balances driven by the low interest rate environment and strong net new client cash inflows, as well as our 2020 acquisitions of TD Ameritrade and USAA-IMCO.

Our net interest margin increased to 1.45% during the third quarter of 2021 from 1.38% during the same period in 2020, and decreased for the first nine months of 2021 to 1.46% from 1.64% in the year-to-date period in 2020. The improvement in the quarter-to-date net interest margin was due primarily to increased margin utilization and securities lending revenue, which comprised 39% and 40% of net interest revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, growing from 12% of net interest revenue for both comparable periods in 2020. Lower yields received on interest-earning assets, in part due to purchases of investment securities in 2020 and 2021 at rates below the average yield on the AFS portfolio, more than offset the benefit of growth in margin utilization and securities lending for the year-to-date period, resulting in an overall decrease in net interest margin for the first nine months of 2021 relative to the same period in 2020.

Asset management and administration fees increased by $241 million, or 28%, and $676 million, or 27% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. These increases were due to the acquisition of TD Ameritrade, as well as additional growth in advice solutions, including managed account assets from USAA, growth in net new client assets and overall strength in the equity markets during the first nine months of 2021. These increases were partially offset by the effect of money market fund fee waivers due to lower portfolio yields as well as lower money market fund balances. TD Ameritrade contributed $152 million and $440 million of asset management and administration fees in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively. The amount of fee waivers in coming quarters is dependent on a variety of factors, including the level of short-term interest rates and client preferences across our money market fund line-up.

Trading revenue increased $783 million and $2.6 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to the acquisition of TD Ameritrade and heightened client engagement, which together drove significantly higher DATs throughout the first nine months of 2021. This increased trading activity and a higher percentage of options trades drove significant growth in commissions and order flow revenue. Overall, TD Ameritrade contributed $743 million and $2.5 billion of trading revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively.

Bank Deposit Account Fees

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company began earning bank deposit account fee revenue pursuant to the Insured Deposit Account agreement (IDA agreement) with TD Bank USA, National Association and TD Bank, National Association (together, the TD Depository Institutions) and arrangements with other third-party banks. Bank deposit account fees are primarily affected by average BDA balances and floating- and fixed-rate reference yields. Fees earned under the IDA agreement are affected by changes in interest rates and the composition of balances designated as fixed- and floating-rate.

Bank deposit account fees totaled $323 million and $1.0 billion during the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively. During the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2021, the total average BDA balance was approximately $151.5 billion and $159.8 billion, respectively, of which approximately 80% was designated as fixed-rate

obligation amounts and approximately 20% as floating-rate obligation amounts. In the first nine months of 2021, the Company transferred $10.5 billion of BDA balances to its balance sheet from the TD Depository Institutions and other third-party banks.

Other Revenue

Other revenue includes exchange processing fees, certain service fees, software fees, and non-recurring gains. Other revenue increased $88 million and $453 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to the acquisition of TD Ameritrade as well as higher service fees resulting from higher trade volume and growth in our customer base during the first nine months of 2021.

Expenses excluding interest increased by 64% and 73% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, total expenses excluding interest included $735 million and $2.5 billion, respectively, from TD Ameritrade. Adjusted total expenses, which excludes acquisition and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets, increased 54% and 63% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results.

Total compensation and benefits increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to an overall increase in employee headcount, driven primarily by our acquisition of TD Ameritrade. The increase was also due to additional headcount to support our expanding client base and service levels amidst heightened client engagement, as well as annual merit increases and higher bonus accrual. Compensation and benefits in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 included $58 million and $227 million, respectively, of acquisition and integration-related costs, up from $13 million and $34 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively.

Professional services expense increased in the third quarter and first nine month of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to the inclusion of TDA’s results of operations and overall growth in the business.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

Occupancy and equipment expense increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to the inclusion of TDA’s results of operations and costs related to the integration of TD Ameritrade, as well as an increase in technology equipment costs associated with higher customer trade volumes and overall growth in the business.

Advertising and market development expense increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to the inclusion of TDA’s results of operations.

Communications expense increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to the inclusion of TDA’s results of operations, as well as higher communications expenses due to higher customer trade volumes and overall growth of the business.

Depreciation and amortization expenses grew in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily resulting from growth in fixed assets due to the TDA acquisition, higher amortization of purchased and internally developed software, higher depreciation of hardware, and higher depreciation of buildings related to expansion of our campuses in the U.S. Amortization of acquired intangible assets increased in 2021 as a result of acquisitions completed in 2020.

Regulatory fees and assessments increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily as a result of the inclusion of TDA’s results of operations and overall growth in the business, including higher FDIC assessments due to asset growth.

Other expense increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to the inclusion of TDA’s results of operations and a charge of approximately $200 million for a regulatory matter in the first nine months of 2021 (see Item 1 – Note 10).

Capital expenditures were $176 million and $610 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared with $122 million and $541 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. The increases in capital expenditures from the prior year were primarily due to higher hardware and capitalized software costs, partially offset by lower building expansion in 2021 relative to the first nine months of 2020. In consideration of revenue growth and timing of capital expenditures through the first nine months of the year, we anticipate capital expenditures for full-year 2021 to be approximately 5-6% of total net revenues.

Taxes on Income

Taxes on income were $485 million and $191 million for the third quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, resulting in effective income tax rates on income before taxes of 24.1% and 21.5%, respectively. Taxes on income were $1.4 billion and $660 million for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively, resulting in effective income tax rates on income before taxes of 24.9% and 23.4%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily related to non-recurring federal tax benefits recognized during the third quarter of 2020 including settlement of the IRS examination for tax years 2011-2014, as well as the tax impact of a non-deductible regulatory matter charge in 2021 (see Item 1 – Note 10). Partially offsetting the increases in the effective tax rate from these items was an increase in equity compensation tax benefits during the third quarter of 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to the factors noted above, as well as increased state tax expense due to uncertain tax position accruals during the first nine months of 2021.

Segment Net Revenues

Investor Services and Advisor Services total net revenues increased by 100% and 51%, respectively, in the third quarter and 101% and 40%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. Both segments saw growth in all revenue line items, primarily due to our October 6, 2020 acquisition of TD Ameritrade. Net interest revenue increased for both segments due to significant growth in margin loans and securities lending revenue, as well as overall growth in interest-earning assets, partially offset by lower average yields. Growth in asset management and administration fees in Investor Services was supported by growth in advice solutions, and asset management and administration fees grew in both segments as a result of overall strength in the equity markets, partially offset by money market fund fee waivers and lower money market fund balances. The increases in trading revenue for both segments were supported by heightened client trading activity. Bank deposit account fee revenue was earned at both segments during the first nine months of 2021, following the TDA acquisition. Increases in other revenue for both segments were primarily due to the TD Ameritrade acquisition.

Segment Expenses Excluding Interest

Investor Services and Advisor Services total expenses excluding interest increased by 68% and 54%, respectively, in the third quarter and 79% and 55%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2021, compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to the inclusion of TD Ameritrade’s results of operations and, for Investor Services, a charge of approximately $200 million for a regulatory matter in the first nine months of 2021 (see Item 1 – Note 10). In addition, both segments saw higher compensation and benefits expenses due to additional increases in headcount to support our expanding client base and service levels amidst heightened client engagement, as well as annual merit increases and higher bonus accrual. For Investor Services, total expenses excluding interest also increased for the year-to-date period as a result of our hiring former USAA employees in connection with the 2020 acquisition of assets of USAA-IMCO.


RISK MANAGEMENT

Schwab’s business activities expose it to a variety of risks, including operational, compliance, credit, market, and liquidity risks. The Company has a comprehensive risk management program to identify and manage these risks and their associated potential for financial and reputational impact.

As part of our integration of TD Ameritrade, the Company continues to align TD Ameritrade’s risk management practices with Schwab’s risk appetite. Our integration work includes evaluating new or changed risks impacting the combined company, and may involve modifications to our existing risk management processes. Though integration work continues, the Company’s operations, inclusive of TD Ameritrade, remain consistent with our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework.

For a discussion of our risk management programs, see Item 7 – Risk Management in the 2020 Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Risk Simulations

Net Interest Revenue Simulation

For our net interest revenue sensitivity analysis, we use net interest revenue simulation modeling techniques to evaluate and manage the effect of changing interest rates. The simulations include all balance sheet interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. Key assumptions include the projection of interest rate scenarios with rate floors, prepayment speeds of mortgage-related investments, repricing of financial instruments, and reinvestment of matured or paid-down securities and loans.

Net interest revenue is affected by various factors, such as the distribution and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the spread between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which may reprice at different times or by different amounts, and the spread between short and long-term interest rates. Interest-earning assets include investment securities, margin loans, and bank loans. These assets are sensitive to changes in interest rates and changes in prepayment levels that tend to increase in a declining rate environment and decrease in a rising rate environment. Because we establish the rates paid on certain brokerage client cash balances and bank deposits and the rates charged on certain margin and bank loans, and control the composition of our investment securities, we have some ability to manage our net interest spread, depending on competitive factors and market conditions.

Net interest revenue sensitivity analysis assumes the asset and liability structure of the consolidated balance sheet would not be changed as a result of the simulated changes in interest rates. As we actively manage the consolidated balance sheet and interest rate exposure, in all likelihood we would take steps to manage additional interest rate exposure that could result from changes in the interest rate environment.

The following table shows the simulated change to net interest revenue over the next 12 months beginning September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of a gradual 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates at the end of each reporting period:
September 30, 2021December 31, 2020
Increase of 100 basis points13.6 %14.2 %
Decrease of 100 basis points(4.0)%(4.3)%
- 16 -


THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

Net interest revenue sensitivities as of September 30, 2021 remained relatively consistent with December 31, 2020, due to the continued low interest rate environment. Higher short-term interest rates would positively impact net interest revenue as yields on interest-earning assets are expected to rise faster than the cost of funding sources. A decline in interest rates could negatively impact the yield on the Company’s investment and loan portfolio to a greater degree than any offsetting reduction in interest expense from funding sources, compressing net interest margin.

In addition to measuring the effect of a gradual 100 basis point parallel increase or decrease in current interest rates, we regularly simulate the effects of larger parallel- and non-parallel shifts in interest rates on net interest revenue.

Bank Deposit Account Fees Simulation

Consistent with the presentation on the consolidated statement of income, the sensitivity of bank deposit account fee revenue to interest rate changes is assessed separately from the net interest revenue simulation described above. As of September 30, 2021, simulated changes in bank deposit account fee revenue from gradual 100 basis point changes in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates did not have a significant impact on the Company’s total net revenues.

Economic Value of Equity Simulation

Management also uses economic value of equity (EVE) simulations to measure interest rate risk. EVE sensitivity measures the long-term impact of interest rate changes on the net present value of assets and liabilities. EVE is calculated by subjecting the balance sheet to hypothetical instantaneous shifts in the level of interest rates. This analysis is highly dependent upon asset and liability assumptions based on historical behaviors as well as our expectations of the economic environment. Key assumptions in our EVE calculation include projection of interest rate scenarios with rate floors, prepayment speeds of mortgage-related investments, term structure models of interest rates, non-maturity deposit behavior, and pricing assumptions. Our net interest revenue, bank deposit account fee revenue, and EVE simulations reflect the assumption of non-negative investment yields.

Phase-out of LIBOR

The Company has established a team to address the phasing-out of LIBOR. As part of our efforts, we have assessed our LIBOR exposures, the largest of which are certain investment securities and loans. In purchasing new investment securities, we ensure that appropriate fall-back language is in the security’s prospectus in the event that LIBOR is unavailable or deemed unreliable, and we have sold certain securities lacking appropriate fall-back language. We are updating loan agreements to ensure new LIBOR-based loans adequately provide for an alternative to LIBOR. Furthermore, we plan to phase-out the use of LIBOR as a reference rate in our new lending products before the end of December 2021, per guidance from the Federal Reserve Board.

Liquidity Risk

Funding Sources

Schwab’s primary source of funds is cash generated by client activity which includes bank deposits and cash balances in client brokerage accounts. These funds are used to purchase investment securities and extend loans to clients.

Other sources of funds may include cash flows from operations, maturities and sales of investment securities, repayments on loans, securities lending of assets held in client brokerage accounts, repurchase agreements, and cash provided by external financing.

To meet daily funding needs, we maintain liquidity in the form of overnight cash deposits and short-term investments. For unanticipated liquidity needs, we also maintain a buffer of highly liquid investments, including U.S. Treasury securities.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Schwab seeks to manage capital to a level and composition sufficient to support execution of our business strategy, including anticipated balance sheet growth inclusive of migration of IDA balances (see further discussion below), providing financial support to our subsidiaries, and sustained access to the capital markets, while at the same time meeting our regulatory capital requirements and serving as a source of financial strength to our banking subsidiaries. Schwab’s primary sources of capital are funds generated by the operations of subsidiaries and securities issuances by CSC in the capital markets. To ensure that Schwab has sufficient capital to absorb unanticipated losses or declines in asset values, we have adopted a policy to remain well capitalized even in stressed scenarios.

As a result of significant inflows of client cash in 2020, our Tier 1 Leverage Ratio declined below our long-term operating objective for consolidated CSC of 6.75%-7.00%, ending 2020 at 6.3%. The Company’s issuances of preferred stock and strength in earnings in the first nine months of 2021 helped maintain our Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, as we ended the third quarter at 6.3%. Though still below our long-term operating objective, this ratio is well above the regulatory minimum. The pace of return to our long-term operating objective over time depends on a number of factors including the overall size of the Company’s balance sheet, earnings, and capital issuance and deployment. We continue to manage our capital position in accordance with our policy and strategy described above and in further detail in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

CSC and our banking subsidiaries are subject to various capital requirements set by regulatory agencies as discussed in further detail in the 2020 Form 10-K and in Item 1 – Note 17. As of September 30, 2021, CSC and our banking subsidiaries are considered well capitalized.

CSB is also subject to regulatory requirements that restrict and govern the terms of affiliate transactions. In addition, CSB is required to provide notice to, and may be required to obtain approval from, the Federal Reserve and the Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending (TDSML) to declare dividends to CSC.

As broker-dealers, CS&Co, TDAC, and TD Ameritrade, Inc. are subject to regulatory requirements of the Uniform Net Capital Rule, which is intended to ensure the general financial soundness and liquidity of broker-dealers. At September 30, 2021, CS&Co, TDAC, and TD Ameritrade, Inc. were in compliance with their respective net capital requirements.

In addition to the capital requirements above, Schwab’s subsidiaries are subject to other regulatory requirements intended to ensure financial soundness and liquidity. See Item 1 – Note 17 for additional information on the components of stockholders’ equity and information on the capital requirements of significant subsidiaries.

IDA Agreement

Through September 30, 2021, Schwab had moved $10.0 billion of IDA balances to its balance sheet, which included uninsured balances and certain international account balances. The Company’s overall capital management strategy includes supporting migration of IDA balances in future periods as available pursuant to the terms of the IDA agreement. The Company’s ability to migrate these balances to its balance sheet is dependent upon multiple factors including having sufficient capital levels to sustain these incremental deposits and the availability of IDA balances designated as floating-rate obligations. See Item 1 – Note 10 for further information on the IDA agreement.

Share Repurchases

On January 30, 2019, CSC publicly announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $4.0 billion of common stock. The authorization does not have an expiration date. There were no repurchases of CSC’s common stock under this authorization during the first nine months of 2021 or 2020. As of September 30, 2021, $1.8 billion remained on our existing authorization.

OTHER

Foreign Exposure
At September 30, 2021, Schwab had exposure to non-sovereign financial and non-financial institutions in foreign countries. At September 30, 2021, the fair value of these holdings totaled $12.8 billion, with the top three exposures being to issuers and counterparties domiciled in France at $5.8 billion, the United Kingdom at $3.7 billion, and Sweden at $755 million. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of these holdings totaled $10.1 billion, with the top three exposures being to issuers and counterparties domiciled in France at $6.7 billion, Germany at $1.2 billion, and Canada at $880 million. In addition, Schwab had outstanding margin loans to foreign residents of $3.3 billion and $2.2 billion at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Schwab enters into various off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business, primarily to meet the needs of our clients. These arrangements include firm commitments to extend credit. Additionally, Schwab enters into guarantees and other similar arrangements in the ordinary course of business. For information on each of these arrangements, see Item 1 – Notes 6, 7, 9, 10, and 12. Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition of TD Ameritrade effective October 6, 2020, the IDA agreement with the TD Depository Institutions became effective. Pursuant to the IDA agreement, certain brokerage client deposits are swept off-balance sheet to the TD Depository Institutions. The Company also maintains agreements pursuant to which TD Ameritrade client brokerage cash deposits are swept to other third-party depository institutions. See Item 1 – Note 10 for additional information on the IDA agreement.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Certain of our accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity are discussed in Part II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates in the 2020 Form 10-K. There have been no changes to critical accounting estimates during the first nine months of 2021.


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain references to the non-GAAP financial measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information about the financial performance of the Company, and facilitate meaningful comparison of Schwab’s results in the current period to both historic and future results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

Schwab’s use of non-GAAP measures is reflective of certain adjustments made to GAAP financial measures as described below.
Non-GAAP Adjustment or MeasureDefinitionUsefulness to Investors and Uses by Management
Acquisition and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assetsSchwab adjusts certain GAAP financial measures to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related costs incurred as a result of the Company’s acquisitions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and, where applicable, the income tax effect of these expenses.

Adjustments made to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets are reflective of all acquired intangible assets, which were recorded as part of purchase accounting. These acquired intangible assets contribute to the Company’s revenue generation. Amortization of acquired intangible assets will continue in future periods over their remaining useful lives.
We exclude acquisition and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets for the purpose of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe doing so provides additional transparency of Schwab’s ongoing operations, and is useful in both evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating comparison of results with prior and future periods.

Acquisition and integration-related costs fluctuate based on the timing of acquisitions and integration activities, thereby limiting comparability of results among periods, and are not representative of the costs of running the Company’s ongoing business. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of the Company’s underlying operating performance.
Return on tangible common equityReturn on tangible common equity represents annualized adjusted net income available to common stockholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill, acquired intangible assets – net, and related deferred tax liabilities.Acquisitions typically result in the recognition of significant amounts of goodwill and acquired intangible assets. We believe return on tangible common equity may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure to facilitate assessing capital efficiency and returns relative to the composition of Schwab’s balance sheet.

Beginning in 2021, the Company also uses adjusted diluted EPS and return on tangible common equity as components of performance criteria for employee bonus and certain executive management incentive compensation arrangements. The Compensation Committee of CSC’s Board of Directors maintains discretion in evaluating performance against these criteria.

1.    Introduction and Basis of Presentation
The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC) is a savings and loan holding company. Incorporated in 1986, CSC engages, through its subsidiaries, in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services.

Principal business subsidiaries of CSC include the following:

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (CS&Co), incorporated in 1971, a securities broker-dealer;
TD Ameritrade, Inc., an introducing securities broker-dealer;
TD Ameritrade Clearing, Inc. (TDAC), a securities broker-dealer that provides trade execution and clearing services to TD Ameritrade, Inc.;
Charles Schwab Bank, SSB (CSB), our principal banking entity; and
Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab’s proprietary mutual funds (Schwab Funds®) and for Schwab’s exchange-traded funds (Schwab ETFs).

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Schwab,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean CSC together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

These unaudited condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. While management makes its best judgment, actual amounts or results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments have been included for a fair statement of this interim financial information.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in Schwab’s 2020 Form 10-K.

Effective October 6, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (TDA Holding) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “TD Ameritrade” or “TDA”). TD Ameritrade provides securities brokerage services, including trade execution, clearing services, and margin lending, through its broker-dealer subsidiaries; and futures and foreign exchange trade execution services through its futures commission merchant (FCM) and forex dealer member (FDM) subsidiary. Our consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and financial condition of TD Ameritrade beginning on October 6, 2020. See Note 3 for additional information on our acquisition of TD Ameritrade.

The significant accounting policies are included in Note 2 in the 2020 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these accounting policies during the first nine months of 2021.


2.    New Accounting Standards

The Company did not adopt any material new accounting standards during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, there are no new accounting standards not yet adopted that are material to the Company as of September 30, 2021.

3.    Business Acquisitions

TD Ameritrade

On October 6, 2020, Schwab completed its previously announced acquisition of TD Ameritrade for $21.8 billion in stock. As a result of the acquisition, TDA Holding became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSC. In exchange for each share of TD Ameritrade common stock, TD Ameritrade stockholders received 1.0837 shares of CSC common stock, except for TD Bank and its affiliates which received a portion in nonvoting common stock. In connection with the transaction, Schwab issued approximately 586 million common shares to TD Ameritrade stockholders consisting of approximately 509 million shares of common stock and approximately 77 million shares of nonvoting common stock. Subsequently, TD Bank and its affiliates exchanged common stock for nonvoting common stock and held approximately 79 million shares of nonvoting common stock as of September 30, 2021. For further details on the new class of nonvoting common stock, see Note 19 in the 2020 Form 10-K.

There have been no adjustments to the provisional purchase price and fair value estimates presented in Note 3 of the 2020 Form 10-K and those amounts are now final.

Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial information as if the TD Ameritrade acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma results reflect after-tax adjustments for acquisition costs, amortization and depreciation of acquired intangible and tangible assets, the impact of the amended IDA agreement which reduced the service fee on client cash deposits held at the TD Depository Institutions to 15 basis points from the 25 basis points paid by TD Ameritrade under its previous IDA agreement, and other immaterial adjustments for the effects of purchase accounting. Pro forma net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 excludes $13 million and $51 million, respectively, of after-tax acquisition costs incurred by Schwab and TD Ameritrade as these costs were included in pro forma net income for the year ended December 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect potential revenue growth or cost savings that may be realized as a result of the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only, and is not necessarily indicative of future operations or results had the TD Ameritrade acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2019.

At September 30, 2021, 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 Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2020 Form 10-K. No amounts were recognized as credit loss expense and no securities were written down to fair value through earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020. None of the Company’s AFS securities held as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 had an allowance for credit losses.

The Company had $646 million and $634 million of accrued interest receivable as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, for AFS securities. These amounts are excluded from the amortized cost basis and fair market value of AFS securities and included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no write-offs of accrued interest receivable on AFS securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, or the year ended December 31, 2020.

As discussed in Item 8 – Note 2 in our 2020 Form 10-K, PALs are subject to the collateral maintenance practical expedient under ASC 326. All PALs were fully collateralized by securities with fair values in excess of borrowings as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Therefore, no allowance for credit losses for PALs as of those dates was required.

The economy continued to strengthen throughout 2021, with sectors most adversely affected by the pandemic improving in recent months. However, COVID-19 has continued to affect the pace of the recovery. Management’s macroeconomic outlook reflects continued moderate growth in home prices and lower unemployment anticipated over the near term. This macroeconomic outlook, along with the continued strong credit quality metrics in the bank loans portfolio, result in a lower modeled projection of loss rates compared to December 31, 2020.

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);
Updated borrower FICO scores (Updated FICO);
Loan-to-value (LTV) ratios at origination (Origination LTV); and
Estimated Current LTV ratios (Estimated Current LTV).
Borrowers’ FICO scores are provided by an independent third-party credit reporting service and generally updated quarterly. The Origination LTV and Estimated Current LTV for a HELOC include any first lien mortgage outstanding on the same property at the time of the HELOC’s origination. The Estimated Current LTV for each loan is updated on a monthly basis by reference to a home price appreciation index.

At September 30, 2021, First Mortgage loans of $15.8 billion had adjustable interest rates. Substantially all of these mortgages have initial fixed interest rates for three to ten years and interest rates that adjust annually thereafter. Approximately 27% of the balance of these mortgages consisted of loans with interest-only payment terms. The interest rates on approximately 87% of the balance of these interest-only loans are not scheduled to reset for three or more years. Schwab’s mortgage loans do not include interest terms described as temporary introductory rates below current market rates.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Schwab had $54 million and $43 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 condensed 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.

At September 30, 2021, $530 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 September 30, 2021, the borrowers on approximately 55% of HELOC loan balances outstanding only paid the minimum amount due.


7.    Variable Interest Entities
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all of Schwab’s involvement with variable interest entities (VIEs) is through CSB’s Community Reinvestment Act (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.
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:

(1) Aggregate assets and aggregate liabilities are included in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(2) Other CRA investments 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Schwab’s maximum exposure to loss would result from the loss of the investments, including any committed amounts. CSB’s funding of these remaining commitments is dependent upon the occurrence of certain conditions, and CSB expects to pay substantially all of these commitments between 2021 and 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and year

Short-term borrowings: Our banking subsidiaries maintain secured credit facilities with the FHLB. Amounts available under these facilities are dependent on the amount of our First Mortgages, HELOCs, and the fair value of certain of their investment securities that are pledged as collateral. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the collateral pledged provided a total borrowing capacity of $63.6 billion and $55.1 billion, respectively, of which no amounts were outstanding at the end of either period.

As a condition of the FHLB borrowings, we are required to hold FHLB stock, which was recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our investment in FHLB stock was $29 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Additionally, our banking subsidiaries have access to funding through the Federal Reserve discount window. Amounts available are dependent upon the fair value of certain investment securities that are pledged as collateral. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our collateral pledged provided total borrowing capacity of $9.9 billion and $7.9 billion, respectively, of which no amounts were outstanding at the end of either period.

CSC has the ability to issue commercial paper notes with maturities up to 270 days, and had $1.5 billion outstanding at September 30, 2021 and none at December 31, 2020.

CSB and Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB (CSPB) are members of the Federal Reserve. As a condition of our Federal Reserve membership, we are required to hold Federal Reserve stock, which totaled $415 million and $191 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

TDAC Lines of Credit and Revolving Credit Facilities

TDAC maintains secured uncommitted lines of credit, under which TDAC borrows on either a demand or short-term basis and pledges client margin securities as collateral. There was $1.5 billion outstanding under the secured uncommitted lines of credit as of September 30, 2021. There were no borrowings outstanding under the secured uncommitted lines of credit as of December 31, 2020. See Note 12 for additional information.

TDAC maintains one senior unsecured committed revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2021 with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $600 million which matures in April 2022. Additionally, at December 31, 2020, TDAC maintained an $850 million unsecured committed revolving credit facility which matured on April 20, 2021 and was not renewed. There were no borrowings outstanding under the TDAC senior revolving facilities as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

10.    Commitments and Contingencies

Loan Portfolio: CSB provides a co-branded loan origination program for CSB clients (the Program) with Rocket Mortgage, LLC (Rocket Mortgage®), formerly known as Quicken Loans, LLC. Pursuant to the Program, Rocket Mortgage 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. CSB purchased First Mortgages of $3.6 billion and $1.6 billion during the third quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $10.4 billion and $6.5 billion during the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. CSB purchased HELOCs with commitments of $112 million and $122 million during the third quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $325 million and $362 million during the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company’s commitments to extend credit on bank lines of credit and to purchase First Mortgages are as follows:
September 30, 2021December 31, 2020
Commitments to extend credit related to unused HELOCs, PALs, and other lines of credit$6,559 $8,141 
Commitments to purchase First Mortgage loans2,672 1,917 
Total$9,231 $10,058 

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 partially satisfy the margin requirements by arranging unsecured standby letter of credit agreements (LOCs), in favor of the Options Clearing Corporation, which are issued by several banks. At September 30, 2021, the aggregate face amount of these LOCs totaled $15 million. There were no funds drawn under any of these LOCs at September 30, 2021. 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 potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these guarantees.

The TD Ameritrade broker-dealer and FCM/FDM subsidiaries’ operations include the execution, settlement, and financing of various client securities, options, futures and foreign exchange transactions. These activities may expose the Company to credit risk and losses in the event the clients are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations. TD Ameritrade is a member of and provides guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges under standard membership agreements. TD Ameritrade 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 loss that they may incur from the client transactions introduced to them by TD Ameritrade. The potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these guarantees.

IDA agreement: The Company’s IDA agreement with the TD Depository Institutions became effective on October 6, 2020. The IDA agreement creates responsibilities of the Company and certain contingent obligations. Pursuant to the IDA agreement, cash held in eligible brokerage client accounts are swept off-balance sheet to money market deposit accounts at the TD Depository Institutions. Schwab provides marketing, recordkeeping and support services to the TD Depository Institutions with respect to the money market deposit accounts for which Schwab receives an aggregate monthly fee, determined by reference to certain yields, less a service fee on client cash deposits held at the TD Depository Institutions, FDIC insurance assessments, and interest on deposits paid to clients. Though unlikely, in the event the sweep arrangement fee computation were to result in a negative amount in any given month, Schwab would be required to pay the TD Depository Institutions.

The IDA agreement provides that, as of July 1, 2021, Schwab has the option to migrate up to $10 billion of IDA balances every 12 months to Schwab’s balance sheet, subject to certain limitations and adjustments. The Company’s ability to migrate IDA balances to its balance sheet is dependent upon multiple factors including having sufficient capital levels to sustain these incremental deposits and certain binding limitations specified in the IDA agreement, including the requirement that Schwab can only move IDA balances designated as floating-rate obligations. In addition, Schwab also must maintain a minimum $50 billion

(Unaudited)
IDA balance through June 2031, and at least 80% of the IDA balances must be designated as fixed-rate obligations through June 2026.

The total ending IDA balance was $142.0 billion as of September 30, 2021 and $154.1 billion as of December 31, 2020. If IDA balances were to decline below the required IDA balance minimum, Schwab could be required to direct additional sweep cash from its balance sheet to the IDA program. Through September 30, 2021, Schwab had moved $10.0 billion of IDA balances to its balance sheet, which included uninsured balances and certain international account balances.

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.

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 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.

Schwab Intelligent Portfolios® SEC Investigation: As disclosed on July 1, 2021, the Company has been responding to an enforcement investigation by the SEC arising from a compliance examination and concerning historic disclosures related to the Schwab Intelligent Portfolios digital advisory solution. In connection with a tentative agreement reached with SEC staff to resolve the matter, financial results for the first nine months of 2021 included a liability and related non-deductible charge of approximately $200 million. Completion of any settlement is always contingent on a vote of the Commission. The Company continues to cooperate with SEC staff with the goal of fully resolving the matter.

TD Ameritrade Acquisition Litigation: As disclosed previously, Schwab and TD Ameritrade have been responding to a lawsuit challenging the acquisition which was filed on May 12, 2020 in the Delaware Court of Chancery (Hawkes v. Bettino et al.) on behalf of a proposed class of TD Ameritrade’s stockholders, excluding, among others, TD Bank. The initial complaint named as defendants each member of the TD Ameritrade board of directors at the time the acquisition was approved, as well as TD Bank and Schwab. On June 11, 2020, plaintiff dismissed a claim that had sought to enjoin voting on or consummation of the acquisition. On February 5, 2021, plaintiff filed an amended complaint naming an officer and certain directors of TD Ameritrade at the time the acquisition was approved, as well as TD Bank, certain TD Bank related entities, and Schwab. The amended complaint asserts separate claims for breach of fiduciary duty by the TD Ameritrade officer, certain members of the TD Ameritrade board and TD Bank, and against Schwab for aiding and abetting such breaches, the allegation being that the amendment of the Insured Deposit Account Agreement TD Bank negotiated directly with Schwab allowed TD Bank to divert merger consideration from TD Ameritrade’s minority public stockholders. Plaintiff seeks to recover monetary damages, costs and attorneys’ fees. Schwab and the other defendants consider the allegations to be entirely without merit and on April 29, 2021, filed motions to dismiss the remaining claims in the lawsuit.

Crago Order Routing Litigation: On July 13, 2016, a securities class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of a putative class of customers executing equity orders through CS&Co. The lawsuit
- 46 -


THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Ratios, or as Noted)
(Unaudited)
names CS&Co and CSC as defendants and alleges that an agreement under which CS&Co routed orders to UBS Securities LLC between July 13, 2011 and December 31, 2014 violated CS&Co’s duty to seek best execution. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, interest, injunctive and equitable relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Defendants consider the allegations to be entirely without merit and have been vigorously contesting the lawsuit. After a first amended complaint was dismissed with leave to amend, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on August 14, 2017. Defendants again moved to dismiss, and in a decision issued December 5, 2017, the court denied the motion. Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification on April 30, 2021, and in a decision on October 27, 2021, the court denied the motion and held that certification of a class action is inappropriate.

Ford Order Routing Litigation: On September 15, 2014, TDA Holding, TD Ameritrade, Inc. and its former CEO, Frederick J. Tomczyk, were sued on behalf of a putative class of TD Ameritrade, Inc. clients alleging that defendants failed to seek best execution and made misrepresentations and omissions regarding its order routing practices. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and injunctive and other relief. Defendants consider the allegations to be entirely without merit and have been vigorously contesting the lawsuit. On September 14, 2018, the District Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, and defendants petitioned for an immediate appeal of the District Court’s class certification decision. On April 23, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit, issued a decision reversing the District Court’s certification of a class and remanding the case back to the District Court for further proceedings. Plaintiffs have renewed their motion for class certification, and a motion by defendants to compel the case to arbitration is pending with the District Court.


11.    Exit and Other Related Liabilities

As a result of the significant growth seen in recent quarters across key client volume metrics, including the number of active brokerage accounts, DATs, and peak daily trades, the Company has increased the scope of technology work related to the integration of TD Ameritrade. We have commenced greater technology build-out to support the expanded volumes of our combined client base. Based on our current integration plans and expanded scope of technology work, the Company expects to complete client conversion within 30 to 36 months from the October 6, 2020 date of acquisition.

To achieve our integration objectives, the Company expects to recognize significant additional acquisition and integration-related costs and capital expenditures throughout the integration process. Such acquisition and integration-related costs have included and are expected to continue to include professional fees, such as legal, advisory, and accounting fees, costs for technology enhancements, and compensation and benefits expenses for employees and contractors involved in the integration work.

The Company’s acquisition and integration-related spending also includes exit and other related costs, such as severance and other employee termination benefits, retention costs, as well as costs related to facility closures, including accelerated amortization and depreciation or impairments of assets in those locations. Exit and other related costs are a component of the Company’s overall acquisition and integration-related spending, and support the Company’s ability to achieve integration objectives including expected synergies.

Our estimates of the nature, amounts, and timing of recognition of acquisition and integration-related costs are subject to change based on a number of factors, including the expected duration and complexity of the integration process and the heightened uncertainty of the current economic environment. More specifically, factors that could cause variability in our expected acquisition and integration-related costs include the level of employee attrition, workforce redeployment from eliminated positions into open roles, changes in the levels of client activity, and increased real estate-related exit cost variability due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Inclusive of costs recognized through September 30, 2021, Schwab currently expects to incur total exit and other related costs for the integration of TD Ameritrade ranging from $650 million to $1 billion, consisting of employee compensation and benefits, facility exit costs, and certain other costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $9 million and $99 million of acquisition-related exit costs, respectively. The Company expects the remaining exit and other related costs will be incurred and charged to expense over the next 24 to 36 months; some costs are expected to be incurred after client conversion. In addition to ASC 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, certain of the costs associated with these activities are accounted for in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment, ASC 712 Compensation Nonretirement Post Employment Benefits, ASC 718 Compensation Stock Compensation, and ASC 842 Leases.

12.     Financial Instruments Subject to Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk

Resale agreements: Schwab enters into collateralized resale agreements principally with other broker-dealers, which 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, Schwab 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. Schwab 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 Schwab 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 investment requirement. Schwab’s resale agreements as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were not subject to master netting arrangements.

Securities lending: Schwab loans brokerage client securities temporarily to other brokers 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 the 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 cash 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 $867 million and $852 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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, the securities loaned and securities borrowed are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

13.    Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

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, and certain other assets. 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. We generally obtain prices from three independent third-party pricing sources for 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.

For a description of the fair value hierarchy and Schwab’s fair value methodologies, see Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2020 Form 10-K. The Company did not adjust prices received from the primary independent third-party pricing service at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

16.    Earnings Per Common Share
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had voting and nonvoting common stock outstanding. Since the rights of the voting and nonvoting common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, the net income of the Company has been allocated on a proportionate basis to the two classes. Diluted earnings per share is 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. For further details surrounding the EPS computation, see Note 25 in the 2020 Form 10-K.

EPS under the basic and diluted computations for both common stock and nonvoting common stock are as follows:

The capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer were 2.5% and zero percent, respectively, for both periods presented. If either buffer falls below the minimum requirement, the Company would be subject to limits on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. At September 30, 2021, the minimum capital requirement plus capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer for Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios were 7.0%, 8.5%, and 10.5%, respectively.
N/A Not applicable.

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 condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.


18.    Segment Information
