“It was a  turbulent quarter dominated by the devastating invasion of Ukraine.  The rapidly evolving market environment had a significant effect on client activity as risk intermediation came to the fore and equity issuance came to a near standstill.  Despite the environment, our results in the quarter  show we continued to effectively support our clients and  I am encouraged that our more resilient and diversified franchise can generate solid returns in uncertain markets.”

Net Revenues

 

    

 

Net revenues were $12.93 billion for the first quarter of 2022, 27% lower than the first quarter of 2021 and 2% higher than the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease compared with the first quarter of 2021 reflected significantly lower net revenues in Asset Management and Investment Banking, partially offset by higher net revenues in Consumer & Wealth Management and Global Markets.

 

  

 

 

Net Revenues

 

   

 

$12.93 billion

 

   
   

 

 

 

 

 

  Investment Banking  

 

 

 

 

 

Net revenues in Investment Banking were $2.41 billion for the first quarter of 2022, 36% lower compared with both a strong first quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease compared with the first quarter of 2021 reflected significantly lower net revenues in Underwriting.

 

The decrease in Underwriting was due to significantly lower net revenues in Equity underwriting, reflecting a significant decline in industry-wide activity, and lower net revenues in Debt underwriting, due to lower net revenues from leveraged finance and asset-backed activity. Corporate lending net revenues were higher, primarily due to higher net revenues from relationship lending activities, reflecting net gains from the impact of widening credit spreads on hedges. Net revenues in Financial advisory were essentially unchanged.

 

The firm’s backlog3 decreased compared with the end of 2021 and was essentially unchanged compared with the first quarter of 2021.

Net revenues in Global Markets were $7.87 billion for the first quarter of 2022, 4% higher than the first quarter of 2021 and 98% higher than the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

Net revenues in FICC were $4.72 billion, 21% higher than the first quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting higher net revenues in FICC intermediation, driven by significantly higher net revenues in currencies and commodities, partially offset by significantly lower net revenues in mortgages and credit products. Net revenues in interest rate products were essentially unchanged. Net revenues in FICC financing were significantly higher, primarily from mortgage lending.

 

Net revenues in Equities were $3.15 billion, 15% lower compared with a strong first quarter of 2021,  primarily due to  lower net revenues  in Equities  intermediation, reflecting significantly lower net revenues in cash products and lower net revenues in derivatives. Net revenues in Equities financing were also lower, primarily reflecting higher funding expenses, partially offset by higher average client balances.

   Asset Management  

 

      

 

Net revenues in Asset Management were $546 million for the first quarter of 2022, 88% lower than the first quarter of 2021 and 81% lower than the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting net losses in Equity investments and significantly lower net revenues in Lending and debt investments.

 

Broad macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns led to volatility in global equity prices and wider credit spreads. As a result, net losses in Equity investments reflected significant mark-to-market net losses from investments in public equities and significantly lower net gains from investments in private equities compared with a strong prior year period. The decrease in Lending and debt investments net revenues primarily reflected net losses from investments. Management and other fees were higher, reflecting the impact of higher average assets under supervision.

Net revenues in Wealth management were $1.62 billion, 19% higher than the first quarter of 2021, due to higher Management and other fees, primarily reflecting the impact of higher average assets under supervision, and higher net revenues in Private banking and lending, primarily reflecting higher loan balances.

 

Net revenues in Consumer banking were $483 million, 30% higher than the first quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting higher credit card balances.

Provisions for the first quarter of 2022 primarily reflected portfolio growth (primarily in credit cards), the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns, and individual impairments on wholesale loans. The net benefit for the first quarter of 2021 reflected reserve reductions as the broader economic environment continued to improve following the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by portfolio growth.

 

The firm’s allowance for credit losses was $4.75 billion as of March 31, 2022.

Operating expenses were $7.72 billion for the first quarter of 2022, 18% lower than the first quarter of 2021 and 6% higher than the fourth quarter of 2021. The firm’s efficiency ratio3 for the first quarter of 2022 was 59.7%, compared with 53.3% for the first quarter of 2021.

 

 

  

 

 

Operating Expenses

 

 

 

$7.72 billion

 

 

The decrease in operating expenses compared with the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to significantly lower compensation and benefits expenses. In addition, expenses related to consolidated investments and charitable contributions to GS Gives and the firm’s foundation were lower. These decreases were partially offset by higher technology expenses, market development expenses and professional fees.

 

Net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings for the first quarter of 2022 were $125 million compared with $74 million for the first quarter of 2021.

 

Headcount increased 3% compared with the end of 2021, primarily reflecting the acquisition of GreenSky, Inc.

Provision for Taxes

 

 

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 15.4%, down from the full year rate of 20.0% for 2021, primarily due to the impact of tax benefits on the settlement of employee share-based awards in the first quarter of 2022 compared with the full year of 2021.

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead  represent only the firm’s  beliefs regarding future events,  many of which,  by their nature,  are inherently uncertain and outside of the firm’s control. It is possible that the firm’s actual results, financial condition and liquidity may differ, possibly materially,  from the anticipated results,  financial condition and liquidity in these forward-looking statements.  For information about some of the risks and important factors that could affect the firm’s future results, financial condition and liquidity, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Information regarding the firm’s assets under supervision, capital ratios, risk-weighted assets, supplementary leverage ratio, balance sheet data, global core liquid assets and VaR consists of preliminary estimates. These estimates are forward-looking statements and are subject to change, possibly materially, as the firm completes its financial statements.

Statements about the firm’s investment banking transaction backlog and future results also may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the risk that transactions may be modified or may not be completed at all and related net revenues may not be realized  or may be materially less than expected.  Important factors that could have such a result include, for underwriting transactions, a decline or weakness in general economic conditions, an outbreak or worsening of hostilities,  including the escalation or continuation of the war between Russia and Ukraine,  continuing volatility in the securities markets  or an adverse development with respect to the issuer of the securities and,  for financial advisory transactions, a decline in the securities markets,  an inability to obtain adequate financing,  an adverse development with respect to a party to the transaction or a failure to obtain a required regulatory approval. For information about other important factors that could adversely affect the firm’s investment banking transactions, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Statements regarding the firm’s announced acquisition of NextCapital Group are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to the risk that the transaction may not close on the anticipated timeline or at all, including due to a failure to obtain requisite regulatory approval,  as well as the risk that the firm may be unable to realize the  expected benefits  of the acquisition and the risk that integrating NextCapital Group into the firm’s business may be more difficult, time-consuming or expensive than expected.

Annualized ROE is calculated by dividing annualized net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average monthly common shareholders’ equity. Annualized ROTE is calculated by dividing annualized net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average monthly tangible common shareholders’ equity (tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated as total shareholders’ equity less preferred stock, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets). Management believes that ROTE is meaningful because it measures the performance of businesses consistently, whether they were acquired or developed internally, and that tangible common shareholders’ equity is meaningful because it is a measure that the firm and investors use to assess capital adequacy. ROTE and tangible common shareholders’ equity are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of average common shareholders’ equity to average tangible common shareholders’ equity:

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only the firm’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the firm’s control. It is possible that the firm’s actual results, financial condition and liquidity may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results, financial condition and liquidity in these forward-looking statements. For information about some of the risks and important factors that could affect the firm’s future results, financial condition and liquidity and the forward-looking statements below, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Information regarding the firm’s assets under supervision, capital ratios, risk-weighted assets, supplementary leverage ratio, balance sheet data and global core liquid assets (GCLA) consists of preliminary estimates. These estimates are forward-looking statements and are subject to change, possibly materially, as the firm completes its financial statements. Statements regarding (i) estimated GDP growth and interest rate and inflation trends, (ii) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the firm’s business, results, financial position and liquidity, (iii) the timing, profitability, benefits and other prospective aspects of business initiatives and the achievability of medium- and long-term targets and goals, (iv) the future state of the firm’s liquidity and regulatory capital ratios, (v) the firm’s prospective capital distributions (including dividends and repurchases), (vi) the firm’s future effective income tax rate, (vii) the firm’s investment banking transaction backlog and future results, (viii) the firm’s planned 2022 debt benchmark issuances, (ix) the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions and other developments on the firm’s business, results and financial position, and (x) the firm’s announced acquisition of NextCapital Group, are forward-looking statements. Statements regarding estimated GDP growth and interest rate and inflation trends are subject to the risk that actual GDP growth and interest rate and inflation trends may differ, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in general economic conditions and monetary and fiscal policy. Statements about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the firm’s business, results, financial position and liquidity are subject to the risk that the actual impact may differ, possibly materially, from what is currently expected. Statements about the timing, profitability, benefits and other prospective aspects of business initiatives and the achievability of medium and long-term targets and goals are based on the firm’s current expectations regarding the firm’s ability to implement these initiatives and achieve these targets and goals and may change, possibly materially, from what is currently expected. Statements about the future state of the firm’s liquidity and regulatory capital ratios, as well as its prospective capital distributions, are subject to the risk that the firm’s actual liquidity, regulatory capital ratios and capital distributions may differ, possibly materially, from what is currently expected. Statements about the firm’s future effective income tax rate are subject to the risk that the firm’s future effective income tax rate may differ from the anticipated rate indicated, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in the tax rates applicable to the firm, the firm’s earnings mix or profitability, the entities in which the firm generates profits and the assumptions made in forecasting the firm’s expected tax rate, and potential future guidance from the U.S. IRS. Statements about the firm’s investment banking transaction backlog and future results are subject to the risk that transactions may be modified or may not be completed at all and related net revenues may not be realized or may be materially less than expected. Important factors that could have such a result include, for underwriting transactions, a decline or weakness in general economic conditions, an outbreak or worsening of hostilities, including the escalation or continuation of the war between Russia and Ukraine, continuing volatility in the securities markets or an adverse development with respect to the issuer of the securities and, for financial advisory transactions, a decline in the securities markets, an inability to obtain adequate financing, an adverse development with respect to a party to the transaction or a failure to obtain a required regulatory approval. Statements regarding the firm’s planned 2022 debt benchmark issuances are subject to the risk that actual issuances may differ, possibly materially, due to changes in market conditions, business opportunities or the firm’s funding needs. Statements about the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions and other developments on the firm’s business, results and financial position are subject to the risks that hostilities may escalate and expand, that sanctions may increase and that the actual impact may differ, possibly materially, from what is currently expected.

Annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity (ROE) is calculated by dividing annualized net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average monthly common shareholders’ equity. Annualized return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (ROTE) is calculated by dividing annualized net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average monthly tangible common shareholders’ equity. Tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated as total shareholders’ equity less preferred stock, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share (TBVPS) is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by basic shares. Management believes that tangible common shareholders’ equity and TBVPS are meaningful because they are measures that the firm and investors use to assess capital adequacy and that ROTE is meaningful because it measures the performance of businesses consistently, whether they were acquired or developed internally. Tangible common shareholders’ equity, ROTE and TBVPS are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
