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 cash and cash equivalents, floating-rate securities and loans, and changes in prepayment levels for mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities and loans. Schwab establishes the rates paid on client-related liabilities, and management expects that it will generally adjust the rates paid on these liabilities at some fraction of any movement in short-term rates.

borrowings, and other funding sources is impacted by market interest rates at the time of borrowing and changes in interest rates on floating-rate liabilities. See also Risk Management – Market Risk.
The Federal Reserve maintained the upper bound of the target overnight rate at 5.50% through most of 2024 before reducing the rate by 50 basis points during the third quarter of 2024 and another 50 basis points across two cuts during the fourth quarter of 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, the Federal Reserve maintained the upper bound of the target overnight rate at 4.50%.
Schwab’s average interest-earning assets in the first quarter of 2025 were lower compared with the same period in 2024; however, client demand for margin and bank lending continued to be strong during the first quarter of 2025, even as clients reduced leverage amid market volatility late in the first quarter. Margin and bank loan balances increased by 23% and 16%, respectively, from March 31, 2024 to the end of the first quarter of 2025. Following further deceleration in the pace of clients’ reallocation of cash from sweep products to higher-yielding investment solutions in 2024, client activity in the first quarter of 2025 reflected normalized cash behavior, inclusive of organic growth, seasonality, and investor sentiment against a backdrop of increased market volatility. Bank sweep deposits and payables to brokerage clients increased by a total of $11.5 billion, or 4%, from March 31, 2024 to the end of the first quarter of 2025. Principal and interest payments on AFS and HTM securities supported a further reduction in bank supplemental funding of $11.8 billion, or 24%, during the first quarter of 2025. Since March 31, 2024, the Company has reduced bank supplemental funding by $32.7 billion, or 46%.

Asset management and administration fees increased by $182 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily a result of continued growth in Schwab money market funds amid the ongoing elevated interest rate environment. The increase in asset management and administration fees in the first quarter of 2025 was also due to growth in fee-based managed investing solutions and Mutual Fund OneSource®. These increases reflected the Company’s asset gathering and net inflows into managed investing solutions, as well as year-over-year equity market appreciation, which more than offset equity market declines experienced in the first quarter of 2025.

Expenses excluding interest increased by $202 million, or 7%, in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Adjusted total expenses, which excludes acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs, increased 8% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results. There were no acquisition and integration-related costs or restructuring costs in the first quarter of 2025.
Total compensation and benefits expense increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to annual merit increases and higher incentive compensation. In the first quarter of 2024, compensation and benefits included a $31 million benefit due to a change in estimated restructuring costs, and also acquisition and integration-related costs of $17 million.
Professional services expense increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting increased utilization of technology and other professional services to support overall growth of the business. Professional services included acquisition and integration-related costs of $17 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting higher building expenses and technology equipment and software costs related to growth of the business. Occupancy and equipment included restructuring costs of $2 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Advertising and market development expense increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher client promotional spending.
Communications expense increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily as a result of higher exchange quotation services expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to finance lease terminations in 2024 and lower depreciation on equipment due to abandonment of certain data centers in 2024 related to the integration of Ameritrade Holding LLC (Ameritrade Holding) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, Ameritrade).

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
Amortization of acquired intangible assets remained consistent in the first quarter of 2025 with the same period in 2024.
Regulatory fees and assessments decreased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a $25 million incremental FDIC special assessment in the first quarter of 2024 and lower FDIC deposit insurance assessments, reflecting a decrease in brokered CDs and a lower assessment base, compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Other expense increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher industry fees. Industry fees increased primarily due to higher SEC fee rates in effect during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and an increase in trading volumes. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the SEC announced that effective May 14, 2025, it would decrease the fee rate applicable to most securities transactions to zero from the rate in effect since May 22, 2024. This change will result in lower industry fees in other expense and a corresponding decrease in other revenue after the effective date, resulting in no impact to net income.
Capital expenditures were $156 million and $122 million in the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Capital expenditures increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher investment in purchased software and buildings, partially offset by lower internally developed software. We continue to anticipate capital expenditures for full-year 2025 will be approximately 3-5% of total net revenues.
Taxes on Income
Taxes on income were $546 million and $436 million for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 22.2% and 24.2%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to the reversal of tax reserves due to the resolution of certain state tax matters during the first quarter of 2025, an increase in equity compensation tax deduction benefits, and a decrease in non-deductible FDIC deposit insurance assessments.

Long-Term Borrowings
The Company’s long-term debt is primarily comprised of Senior Notes and totaled $21.5 billion and $22.4 billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The following table provides information about our Senior Notes outstanding at March 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2025 | Par Outstanding | Maturity | Weighted Average Interest Rate (1) | Moody’s | Standard & Poor’s | Fitch |

(1) Weighted average interest rates presented here exclude the impact of derivatives. See Note 11 for information on the Company’s hedging of Senior Notes.
New Debt Issuances
There were no new debt issuances of senior unsecured obligations in the first three months of 2025.

(1) Changes in market interest rates can result in unrealized gains or losses on AFS securities, which are included in AOCI. As a Category III banking organization, CSC has elected to exclude most components of AOCI from regulatory capital.
The Company’s consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio at March 31, 2025 remained consistent with year-end 2024, ending the first quarter of 2025 at 9.9%. CSB’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio increased from 11.6% at year-end 2024, ending the first quarter of 2025 at 12.1% primarily as a result of lower total assets as well as net income during the quarter.
In light of the Federal Reserve’s 2023 regulatory capital rule proposal, which, among other things, would require the Company to include AOCI in regulatory capital (see Part II – Item 7 – Current Regulatory and Other Developments in the 2024 Form 10-K), the Company has developed an adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that includes AOCI in the ratio. The primary component of AOCI for Schwab is unrealized gains and losses on our AFS investment securities portfolio and on securities transferred from AFS to the HTM category.
The Company maintains a long-term operating objective for its consolidated adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 6.75% - 7.00%. As of March 31, 2025, our adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, which includes AOCI in the ratio, was 7.1% for CSC (consolidated) and 8.2% for CSB (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results). The Company is continuing to accrete capital organically, and will continue to manage its capital as described above and in Part II – Item 7 – Capital Management of the 2024 Form 10-K. In evaluating returns of excess capital to stockholders, we will consider the amount of bank supplemental funding outstanding, and may choose to utilize the liquidity we would otherwise use for capital returns to repay outstanding bank supplemental funding balances.
IDA Agreement
Certain brokerage client deposits are swept off-balance sheet to the TD Depository Institutions pursuant to the 2023 IDA agreement. During the first three months of 2025, Schwab did not move IDA balances to its balance sheet. The Company’s overall capital management strategy includes supporting migration of IDA balances in future periods as available pursuant to the terms of the 2023 IDA agreement. The Company’s ability to migrate these balances to its balance sheet is dependent upon multiple factors including having sufficient capital levels to sustain these incremental deposits. See Item 1 – Note 10 for further information on the 2023 IDA agreement.

The FCM agreements governing our swaps allow for securities pledged as initial margin to be sold, repledged, or otherwise used by the FCM.

For a description of management’s quarterly evaluation of AFS securities in unrealized loss positions, see Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2024 Form 10-K. amounts were recognized as credit loss expense and securities were written down to fair value through earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024. of the Company’s AFS securities held as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 had an allowance for credit losses. All HTM securities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and therefore had allowance for credit losses because expected nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero.
The Company had $ million and $ million of accrued interest for AFS and HTM securities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are excluded from the amortized cost basis and fair market value of AFS and HTM securities and included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were writeoffs of accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, or for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Consistent with Schwab’s loan charge-off policy for pledged asset lines (PALs) as disclosed in Item 8 – Note 2 of the 2024 Form 10-K, the Company charges off any unsecured balances no later than 90 days past due. As of March 31, 2025, substantially all PALs are also subject to the collateral maintenance practical expedient under ASC 326 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. All PALs were fully collateralized by securities with fair values in excess of borrowings as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and no allowance for credit losses for PALs as of those dates was required.
The U.S. economy saw steady hiring and moderating inflation in the first quarter of 2025, but continued to face tight monetary policy and geopolitical unrest amid a backdrop of elevated uncertainty around the economic impact of trade policy. Management’s macroeconomic outlook reflects sustained current benchmark lending rates, with unemployment remaining relatively flat and modest home price appreciation. Though higher mortgage rates are softening demand and reducing borrower

million and $ million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Nonaccrual loans include nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings recorded prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” on January 1, 2023. At both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty were not material.
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 Fair Isaac Corporation (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 are 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 March 31, 2025, $ billion of First Mortgage loans had adjustable interest rates. Substantially all of these mortgages have initial fixed interest rates for three to and interest rates that typically adjust every six to pursuant to the terms of the loan thereafter. Approximately % of the balance of these mortgages consisted of loans with interest-only payment terms. The interest rates on approximately % of the balance of these interest-only loans are not scheduled to reset for three or more years.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Schwab had $ million and $ 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 loan term with an initial draw period of from the date of origination. After the initial draw period, the balance outstanding at such time is converted to a amortizing loan. The interest rate during the initial draw period and the amortizing period is a floating-rate based on the prime rate plus a margin.

At March 31, 2025, $ 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 March 31, 2025, the borrowers on approximately % of HELOC loan balances outstanding only paid the minimum amount due.

Guarantees and indemnifications: Schwab has clients that sell (i.e., write) listed option contracts that are cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation – a clearing house that establishes margin requirements on these transactions. We satisfy the margin requirements of these transactions through pledging certain client securities. For additional information on these pledged securities, refer to Note 12. In connection with its securities lending activities, Schwab is required to provide collateral to certain brokerage clients. The Company satisfies the collateral requirements by providing cash as collateral.
The Company also provides guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges under standard membership agreements, which require members to guarantee the performance of other members. Under the agreements, if another member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing houses and exchanges, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. The Company’s liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and may exceed the amounts it has posted as collateral. The Company also engages third-party firms to clear clients’ futures and options on futures transactions and to facilitate clients’ foreign exchange trading, and has agreed to indemnify these firms for any losses that they may incur from the client transactions introduced to them by the Company. The potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, liability has been recognized for these guarantees and indemnifications.
IDA agreement: The 2023 IDA agreement with the TD Depository Institutions specifies responsibilities, including certain contingent obligations, of the Company. Pursuant to the 2023 IDA agreement, uninvested cash within eligible brokerage client accounts is swept off-balance sheet to deposit accounts at the TD Depository Institutions. Schwab provides recordkeeping and support services to the TD Depository Institutions with respect to the deposit accounts for which Schwab receives an aggregate monthly fee. Under the 2023 IDA agreement, the service fee on client cash deposits held at the TD Depository Institutions is 15 basis points. The Company’s ability to migrate these balances to its balance sheet is dependent on multiple factors including having sufficient capital levels to sustain these incremental deposits and certain binding limitations specified in the 2023 IDA agreement. During the first three months of 2025, Schwab did move IDA balances to its balance sheet.
The 2023 IDA agreement extended the agreement term to sweep balances to the TD Depository Institutions through July 1, 2034, and requires that Schwab maintain minimum and maximum IDA balances as follows:
•Through September 10, 2025, Schwab must maintain minimum balances above the total of then-outstanding unmatured fixed-rate obligation amounts, with a maximum of $ billion above this total amount. During this period, withdrawals of IDA balances by Schwab are generally permitted only to the extent of withdrawals initiated by Schwab customers, with limited exceptions, except to the extent necessary for Schwab to maintain balances below the applicable maximum.
•After September 10, 2025, withdrawals of IDA balances are permitted at Schwab’s discretion, subject to an obligation to maintain IDA balances above a minimum of $ billion, with a maximum of $ billion.
Designation of deposit balances for investment in fixed- or floating-rate instruments under the 2023 IDA agreement is at Schwab’s sole discretion with certain limitations on the amount of fixed-rate obligation amounts. If IDA balances decline below the required IDA balance minimum as described above, Schwab would be required to make a nonperformance payment to the TD Depository Institutions pursuant to the terms of the 2023 IDA agreement.
As of March 31, 2025, the total ending IDA balance was $ billion, of which $ billion was fixed-rate obligation amounts and $ billion was floating-rate obligation amounts. As of December 31, 2024, the total ending IDA balance was $ billion, of which $ billion was fixed-rate obligation amounts and $ billion was floating-rate obligation amounts.

(1) Includes the amortized cost basis of closed portfolios of AFS securities used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the stated amount of assets in the closed portfolios anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $ billion and $ billion, respectively, of which $ billion was designated in a portfolio layer hedging relationship at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships were a reduction of the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios of $ million and $ million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
(2) Excludes the amortized cost and fair value hedging adjustment of AFS securities for which hedge accounting has been discontinued. The cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments remaining for these securities was a reduction of the amortized cost basis of $ million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which is recorded in AFS securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest revenue as a yield adjustment over the lives of the securities.

million and $ million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our securities lending transactions are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with other broker-dealers; however, we do not net securities lending transactions. Therefore, the securities loaned and securities borrowed are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Repurchase agreements: Schwab enters into collateralized repurchase agreements with external financial institutions and the FICC in which the Company sells securities and agrees to repurchase these securities on a specified future date at a stated repurchase price. These repurchase agreements are collateralized by investment securities with a fair value equal to or in excess of the secured borrowing liability. Decreases in security prices posted as collateral for repurchase agreements may require Schwab to transfer cash and/or additional securities deemed acceptable by the counterparty. To mitigate this risk, Schwab monitors the fair value of underlying securities pledged as collateral compared to the related liability. Our collateralized repurchase agreements with each external financial institution are considered to be enforceable master netting arrangements. However, we do not net these arrangements. As such, the secured short-term borrowings associated with these collateralized repurchase agreements are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Interest rate swaps: Schwab uses interest rate swaps to manage certain interest rate risk exposures. Schwab’s interest rate swaps are cleared through CCPs which require the Company to post initial margin as collateral against potential losses. Schwab pledges investment securities as collateral in order to meet the CCP’s initial margin requirements. Initial margin is posted through FCMs which serve as the intermediary between CCPs and Schwab. Our interest rate swaps are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements allowing a right of setoff within each FCM-CCP relationship; however, we do not net these positions. Therefore, interest rate swaps are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 for additional information on the Company’s interest rate swaps.

independent third-party pricing sources for such assets recorded at fair value.
Our primary independent pricing service provides prices for our fixed income investments such as commercial paper; certificates of deposit; U.S. government and agency securities; state and municipal securities; corporate debt securities; asset-backed securities; foreign government agency securities; and non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. Such prices are based on observable trades, broker/dealer quotes, and discounted cash flows that incorporate observable information such as yields for similar types of securities (a benchmark interest rate plus observable spreads) and weighted-average maturity for the same or similar “to-be-issued” securities. We compare the prices obtained from the primary independent pricing service to the prices obtained from the additional independent pricing services to determine if the price obtained from the primary independent pricing service is reasonable. Schwab does not adjust the prices received from independent third-party pricing services unless such prices are inconsistent with the definition of fair value and result in material differences in the amounts recorded.
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include interest rate swaps, securities sold but not yet purchased, and repurchase liabilities related to client-held fractional shares of equities, ETFs, and other securities, which are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of securities sold but not yet purchased are based on quoted market prices or other observable market data. The Company has elected the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825 Financial Instruments for the repurchase liabilities to match the measurement and accounting of the related client-held fractional shares. The fair values of the repurchase liabilities are based on quoted market prices or other observable market data consistent with the related client-held fractional shares. Unrealized gains and losses on client-held fractional shares offset the unrealized gains and losses on the corresponding repurchase liabilities, resulting in no impact to the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company’s liabilities to repurchase client-held fractional shares do not have credit risk, and, as a result, the Company has not recognized any gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of income or comprehensive income attributable to instrument-specific credit risk for these repurchase liabilities. The repurchase liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The fair values of interest rate swaps are based on market observable interest rate yield curves. Fair value measurements are priced considering the coupon rate of the fixed leg of the contract and the variable coupon rate on the floating leg of the

million shares of the Company’s common stock and million shares of the Company’s nonvoting common stock, which automatically converted into common stock. The offering was completed at a price of $ per share, for an aggregate amount of $ billion. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from this sale.
Concurrent with the completion of the secondary offering, and pursuant to a repurchase agreement dated February 9, 2025, the Company repurchased directly from TD Group US Holdings LLC its remaining million shares of nonvoting common stock at a price of $ per share for an aggregate repurchase amount of $ billion, which settled on February 12, 2025. The shares of nonvoting common stock automatically converted into common stock upon repurchase and are now held in treasury stock, reducing the number of shares outstanding. These shares were purchased under CSC’s $ billion share repurchase authorization. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and as of March 31, 2025, approximately $ billion remained on the authorization. There were repurchases of CSC’s common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Share repurchases, net of issuances, are subject to a nondeductible excise tax which was recognized as a direct and incremental cost associated with these transactions. For repurchases of common stock, the tax is recorded as part of the cost basis of the treasury stock repurchased, resulting in no impact to the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Through the completion of the secondary offering and the Company’s repurchase of nonvoting common stock, TD Bank disposed of all of its common shares of CSC and as of March 31, 2025, the Company has remaining nonvoting common stock outstanding.

remaining nonvoting common stock outstanding and accordingly, dividends were paid on nonvoting common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
For the computations of basic and diluted EPS, undistributed net income of the Company was allocated on a proportionate basis to the voting and nonvoting common stock, as the distribution rights of the two classes were identical. Diluted EPS was calculated using the treasury stock method for outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted stock units and the if-converted method for the nonvoting common stock, which assumed conversion of all outstanding nonvoting common stock to common stock. For further details surrounding the EPS computations, see Item 8 – Note 26 in the 2024 Form 10-K.

| | (1) Under risk-based capital rules, CSC and CSB are also required to maintain additional capital buffers above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios. As of March 31, 2025, CSC was subject to a stress capital buffer of 2.5%. In addition, CSB is required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. CSC and CSB are also required to maintain a countercyclical capital buffer above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios, which was zero for both periods presented. If a buffer falls below the minimum requirement, CSC and CSB would be subject to increasingly strict limits on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. At March 31, 2025, the minimum capital ratio requirements for both CSC and CSB, inclusive of their respective buffers, were 7.0%, 8.5%, and 10.5% for Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital, respectively.
N/A Not applicable.
Based on its regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2025, CSB is considered well capitalized (the highest category) under its respective regulatory capital rules. There are no conditions or events since March 31, 2025 that management believes have changed CSB’s capital category.
CSC’s other banking subsidiaries are Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB (CSPB) and Charles Schwab Trust Bank (Trust Bank). CSPB is a Texas-chartered state savings bank that provides banking and custody services, and Trust Bank is a Nevada state-chartered savings bank that provides trust and custody services. At March 31, 2025, the balance sheets of CSPB and Trust Bank consisted primarily of investment securities, and the entities held total assets of $ billion and $ billion, respectively. Based on their regulatory capital ratios, at March 31, 2025, CSPB and Trust Bank are considered well capitalized under their respective regulatory capital rules.

Pursuant to the SEC’s Customer Protection Rule and other applicable regulations, Schwab had cash and investments segregated for the exclusive benefit of clients at March 31, 2025. The SEC’s Customer Protection Rule requires broker-dealers to segregate client fully-paid securities and cash balances not collateralizing margin positions and not swept to money market funds or bank deposit accounts. Amounts included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes represent actual balances on deposit. 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.
reportable segments are Investor Services and Advisor Services. Schwab structures the operating segments according to its clients and the services provided to those clients. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage, investment advisory, and banking and trust services to individual investors, and retirement plan and business services, as well as other corporate brokerage services, to businesses and their employees. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, banking and trust, and support services to independent RIAs, independent retirement advisors, and recordkeepers. Revenues and expenses are attributed to the segments based on which segment services the client. Schwab’s chief operating decision makers (CODMs) are the President and Chief Executive Officer, and the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2024 Form 10-K. For the computation of its segment information, Schwab utilizes an activity-based costing model to allocate traditional income statement line item expenses (e.g., compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, and professional services) to the business activities driving segment expenses (e.g., client service, opening new accounts, or business development) and a funds transfer pricing methodology to allocate certain revenues.
The CODMs evaluate the performance of the segments on a pre-tax basis and use income before taxes on income to allocate resources, including employees and capital, to the segments during the annual budgeting process. The CODMs consider budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating resources to the segments throughout the year. Segment assets and liabilities are not used for evaluating segment performance or in deciding how to allocate resources to segments. There are revenues from transactions between the segments.

| (1) In connection with certain changes in Schwab’s organizational management structure, in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Retirement Business Services business unit was transferred from the Advisor Services segment to the Investor Services segment. Accordingly, amounts related to the Retirement Business Services business unit are included within Investor Services for the first quarter of 2025, and prior-year amounts have been recast to reflect this new basis of segmentation.
