Goldman Sachs Reports Second Quarter Earnings Per Common Share of $6.26

 

 

“This quarter demonstrated the continued dedication of the people of Goldman Sachs to helping our clients navigate a very challenging environment, while working remotely or returning to offices that are quite different than the ones we left earlier in the year. We also continue to be grateful for those working hard to contain the pandemic and limit its human and economic costs.

 

Our strong financial performance across our client franchises demonstrates the inherent benefits of our diversified business model. The turbulence we have seen in recent months only reinforces our commitment to the strategy we outlined earlier this year to investors. While the economic outlook remains uncertain, I am confident that we will continue to be the firm of choice for clients around the world who are looking to reshape their businesses and rebuild a more resilient economy.”

Second Quarter 2020 Earnings Results

 

 

Net Revenues

 

    

 

Net revenues were $13.30 billion for the second quarter of 2020, 41% higher than the second quarter of 2019 and 52% higher than the first quarter of 2020. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2019 reflected significantly higher net revenues in Global Markets and Investment Banking and higher net revenues in Consumer & Wealth Management, partially offset by lower net revenues in Asset Management.

 

The operating environment during the quarter continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a deceleration in global economic activity and elevated market volatility. Economic indicators generally improved as the quarter progressed, following significant declines in March and April, as economies began to reopen and central banks, along with governments, continued to implement monetary easing measures and provide fiscal stimulus to support the economy. These contributed to higher global equity prices and tighter credit spreads compared with the end of the first quarter of 2020.

Net revenues in Investment Banking were $2.66 billion for the second quarter of 2020, 36% higher than the second quarter of 2019 and 22% higher than the first quarter of 2020. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2019 reflected significantly higher net revenues in Underwriting, partially offset by a net loss in Corporate lending and lower net revenues in Financial advisory.

 

The increase in Underwriting net revenues was due to significantly higher net revenues in both Equity and Debt underwriting, reflecting a significant increase in industry-wide volumes. The net loss in Corporate lending reflected the impact of changes in credit spreads on hedges related to relationship lending activities. The decrease in Financial advisory net revenues reflected a decrease in industry-wide completed mergers and acquisitions transactions.

 

The firm’s investment banking transaction backlog3 decreased significantly compared with the end of the first quarter of 2020.

Net revenues in Global Markets were $7.18 billion for the second quarter of 2020, 93% higher than the second quarter of 2019 and 39% higher than the first quarter of 2020.

 

Net revenues in FICC were $4.24 billion, compared with $1.70 billion in the second quarter of 2019. Net revenues in FICC intermediation were significantly higher, reflecting significantly higher net revenues across all major businesses, particularly in interest rate products, credit products and commodities. In addition, net revenues in FICC financing were significantly higher, primarily driven by repurchase agreements.

 

Net revenues in Equities were $2.94 billion, 46% higher than the second quarter of 2019, due to significantly higher net revenues in Equities intermediation, reflecting significantly higher net revenues in both cash products and derivatives, partially offset by lower net revenues in Equities financing, reflecting lower average customer balances, tighter spreads and a decrease in dividends.

  Asset Management  

 

      

 

Net revenues in Asset Management were $2.10 billion for the second quarter of 2020, compared with $2.55 billion for the second quarter of 2019 and $(96) million for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2019 reflected significantly lower net revenues in Equity investments, partially offset by significantly higher net revenues in Lending and debt investments and slightly higher Management and other fees  from the  firm’s  institutional  and  third-party  distribution asset management clients. Incentive fees were essentially unchanged.

 

The decrease in Equity investments net revenues reflected significantly lower net gains from investments in private equities, partially offset by significantly higher net gains from investments in public equities. The increase in Lending and debt investments net revenues reflected significantly higher net gains as corporate credit spreads tightened during the quarter. The increase in Management and other fees reflected the impact of higher average assets under supervision, partially offset by a lower average effective fee due to shifts in the mix of client assets and strategies.

Net revenues in Wealth management were $1.10 billion, 7% higher than the second quarter of 2019, due to higher Management and other fees (including the impact of the consolidation of GS Personal Financial Management5), primarily reflecting higher average assets under supervision and higher transaction volumes. Net revenues in Private banking and lending were lower, primarily reflecting lower interest rates, and Incentive fees were essentially unchanged.

 

Net revenues in Consumer banking were $258 million, 19% higher than the second quarter of 2019, as the second quarter of 2020 included credit card loans.

Provision for credit losses was $1.59 billion for the second quarter of 2020, compared with $214 million for the second quarter of 2019 and $937 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2019 was primarily due to significantly higher provisions related to wholesale loans and, to a lesser extent, consumer loans, reflecting revisions to forecasts of expected deterioration in the broader economic environment (incorporating the accounting for credit losses under the Current Expected Credit Losses standard6). In addition, the increase in provisions related to wholesale loans reflected the impact of individual impairments during the quarter.

 

The firm’s allowance for credit losses was $4.39 billion as of June 30, 2020.

Operating Expenses

 

 

Operating expenses were $8.40 billion for the second quarter of 2020, 37% higher than the second quarter of 2019 and 30% higher than the first quarter of 2020. The firm’s efficiency ratio3 for the first half of 2020 was 67.4%, compared with 65.6% for the first half of 2019.

 

 

 

 

Operating Expenses

 

 

 

$8.40 billion

 

 

 

The increase in operating expenses compared with the second quarter of 2019 was primarily due to significantly higher compensation and benefits expenses (reflecting significantly higher net revenues) and significantly higher net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings. In addition, brokerage, clearing, exchange and distribution fees were higher (reflecting an increase in activity levels) and expenses related to consolidated investments, including impairments, were higher (increase was primarily in depreciation and amortization and occupancy expenses). The second quarter of 2020 also included higher technology expenses, higher expenses related to the firm’s credit card activities and the impact of the consolidation of GS Personal Financial Management5. These increases were partially offset by lower travel and entertainment expenses (included in market development expenses).

 

Net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings for the second quarter of 2020 were $945 million compared with $66 million for the second quarter of 2019.

 

Headcount increased 2% compared with the end of the first quarter of 2020.

Provision for Taxes

 

 

The effective income tax rate for the first half of 2020 increased to 21.9% from 10.0% for the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to a decrease in the impact of permanent tax benefits and an increase in provisions for non-deductible litigation in the first half of 2020 compared with the first quarter of 2020.

  Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements  

 

           

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, 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 indicated 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 II, Item 1A of the firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 and in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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 also may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the risk that transactions may be modified or not completed at all and associated net revenues may not be realized or may be materially less than those currently expected. Important factors that could have such a result include, for underwriting transactions, a decline or weakness in general economic conditions, an outbreak of hostilities, 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 II, Item 1A of the firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 and in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Statements about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the firm’s business, results, financial position and liquidity may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual impact may differ, possibly materially, from what is currently 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:

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 II, Item 1A of the firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 and in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. 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, (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), (vi) the firm’s future effective income tax rate, and (vii) the firm’s investment banking transaction backlog are forward-looking statements. Statements regarding estimated GDP growth are subject to the risk that actual GDP growth may differ, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in general economic conditions. 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 our 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 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 are subject to the risk that transactions may be modified or not completed at all and associated net revenues may not be realized or may be materially less than those currently expected. Important factors that could have such a result include, for underwriting transactions, a decline or weakness in general economic conditions, an outbreak of hostilities, 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. 14Cautionary 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.

Statements regarding (i) estimated GDP growth, (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), (vi) the firm’s future effective income tax rate, and (vii) the firm’s investment banking transaction backlog are forward-looking statements. Statements regarding estimated GDP growth are subject to the risk that actual GDP growth may differ, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in general economic conditions. 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 our 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 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 are subject to the risk that transactions may be modified or not completed at all and associated net revenues may not be realized or may be materially less than those currently expected. Important factors that could have such a result include, for underwriting transactions, a decline or weakness in general economic conditions, an outbreak of hostilities, 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. 14


Footnotes 1. 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.
