However, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income decreased to $211 million from $423 million in the prior year, largely influenced by a $196 million class action litigation reserve related to the Schwab YieldPlus Fund.

May 7, 2010

This filing for The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) for the quarter ending March 31, 2010, reveals a significant shift in profitability compared to the previous year. Net income dropped dramatically from $218 million in Q1 2009 to just $6 million in Q1 2010. This decline was primarily driven by a substantial increase in expenses, most notably a $196 million class action litigation reserve related to the Schwab YieldPlus Fund, which heavily impacted the "Expenses Excluding Interest" category. While net revenues saw a decrease of 12% year-over-year, largely due to lower asset management and administration fees (exacerbated by money market mutual fund fee waivers) and reduced trading revenue, the surge in expenses overshadowed any revenue resilience. Despite the sharp decline in net income, key client activity metrics remained strong. Net new client assets were $23.3 billion, and total client assets reached a record $1.49 trillion, reflecting continued client trust and market recovery. The company also successfully completed a $543 million common stock offering in January 2010 to support balance sheet growth. Investors should closely monitor the ongoing litigation and regulatory matters, as they are a significant factor impacting current financial performance and future profitability.

SCHWAB CHARLES CORP Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2009

Nov 5, 2009

The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) reported a decrease in net revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily driven by lower asset management and administration fees and net interest revenue. This was partly due to money market mutual fund fee waivers and a challenging low-interest-rate environment. Despite revenue declines, the company managed expenses effectively, leading to a solid pre-tax profit margin. Client assets under management grew modestly, and the company continued to attract new client assets, indicating resilience in client engagement. However, the company is facing ongoing legal and regulatory challenges, notably related to auction rate securities and the YieldPlus Fund, which could lead to material financial impacts. Financially, the company showed an increase in cash and cash equivalents and maintained strong regulatory capital ratios, particularly for Schwab Bank, which was considered well-capitalized. The balance sheet also reflects an increase in long-term debt, largely due to new debt issuance. Investors should note the continued impact of the economic environment on revenue streams and the significant contingent liabilities from litigation and regulatory actions.
