Both the earnings release and the financial supplement are available online in the Investor Relations section at www.morganstanley.com.

NOTICE:

The information provided herein and in the financial supplement, including information provided on the Firm’s earnings conference calls, may include certain non-GAAP financial measures. The definition of such measures or reconciliation of such measures to the comparable U.S. GAAP figures are included in this earnings release and the financial supplement, both of which are available on www.morganstanley.com.

This earnings release may contain forward-looking statements, including the attainment of certain financial and other targets, objectives and goals. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made, which reflect management’s current estimates, projections, expectations, assumptions, interpretations or beliefs and which are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. For a discussion of risks and uncertainties that may affect the future results of the Firm, please see “Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I, Item 1, “Competition” and “Supervision and Regulation” in Part I, Item 1, “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, “Legal Proceedings” in Part I, Item 3, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Risk” in Part II, Item 7A in the Firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and other items throughout the Form 10-K, the Firm’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Firm’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, including any amendments thereto.

^1^ Includes preferred dividends related to the calculation of earnings per share of $146 million and $138 million for the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

^2^ The Firm prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). From time to time, Morgan Stanley may disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures” in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a “non-GAAP financial measure” as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude, or include amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by Morgan Stanley are provided as additional information to analysts, investors and other stakeholders in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing our financial condition, operating results, or capital adequacy. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure, we will also generally define it or present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure we reference and such comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

^3^ Our earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and other communications may also include certain metrics which we believe to be useful to us, analysts, investors, and other stakeholders by providing further transparency about, or an additional means of assessing, our financial condition and operating results.

^4^ Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers useful for analysts, investors and other stakeholders to allow comparability of period-to-period operating performance and capital adequacy. The calculation of return on average tangible common equity represents full year or annualized net income applicable to Morgan Stanley less preferred dividends as a percentage of average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity, also a non-GAAP financial measure, represents common equity less goodwill and intangible assets net of allowable mortgage servicing rights deduction.

^5^ The Firm expense efficiency ratio represents total non-interest expenses as a percentage of net revenues. For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, Firm results include pre-tax integration-related expenses of $68 million, of which $43 million is reported in the Wealth Management business segment and $25 million is reported in the Investment Management business segment.

^6^ Pre-tax margin represents income before provision for income taxes divided by net revenues.

^7^ Pre-tax income represents income before provision for income taxes.

^8^ Wealth Management fee-based client assets represent the amount of assets in client accounts where the basis of payment for services is a fee calculated on those assets.

^9^ Wealth Management fee-based asset flows include net new fee-based assets (including asset acquisitions), net account transfers, dividends, interest, and client fees, and exclude institutional cash management-related activity.

^10^ Wealth Management net new assets represent client inflows, including dividends and interest, and asset acquisitions, less client outflows, and exclude activity from business combinations/divestitures and the impact of fees and commissions.

^11^ AUM is defined as assets under management.

^12^ Long-term net flows include the Equity, Fixed Income and Alternative and Solutions asset classes and excludes the Liquidity and Overlay Services asset class.

^13^ Transactional revenues include investment banking, trading, and commissions and fee revenues.

^14^ Capital ratios are estimates as of the press release date, October 18, 2023.

^15^ CET1 capital is defined as Common Equity Tier 1 capital. The Firm’s risk-based capital ratios are computed under each of the (i) standardized approaches for calculating credit risk and market risk risk‐weighted assets (RWAs) (the “Standardized Approach”) and (ii) applicable advanced approaches for calculating credit risk, market risk and operational risk RWAs (the “Advanced Approach”). For information on the calculation of regulatory capital and ratios, and associated regulatory requirements, please refer to "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Regulatory Requirements" in the Firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (2022 Form 10-K).

^16^ The Tier 1 leverage ratio is a leverage-based capital requirement that measures the Firm’s leverage. Tier 1 leverage ratio utilizes Tier 1 capital as the numerator and average adjusted assets as the denominator.

^17^ The Firm’s supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) utilizes a Tier 1 capital numerator of approximately $77.7 billion and $76.4 billion, and supplementary leverage exposure denominator of approximately $1.42 trillion and $1.41 trillion, for the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Definition of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(a)	The Firm prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the<br> United States (U.S. GAAP). From time to time, Morgan Stanley may disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures” in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations<br> and otherwise. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a “non-GAAP financial measure” as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial positions, or cash flows that is<br> subject to adjustments that effectively exclude, or include amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by<br> Morgan Stanley are provided as additional information to analysts, investors and other stakeholders in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing, our<br> financial condition, operating results, or prospective regulatory capital requirements. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent<br> with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure, we will also generally define it or present the most directly comparable financial measure<br> calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure we reference and such comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. In<br> addition to the following notes, please also refer to the Firm's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (2022 Form 10-K).
(b)	The following are considered non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for analysts, investors<br> and other stakeholders to allow comparability of operating performance and capital adequacy. These measures are calculated as follows:
	-	The return on average tangible common equity represents annualized earnings applicable to Morgan Stanley common<br> shareholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity.
	-	Segment return on average common equity and return on average tangible common equity represent full year net<br> income or annualized net income for the quarter applicable to Morgan Stanley for each segment, less preferred dividend segment allocation, divided by average common equity and average tangible common equity<br> for each respective segment. The segment adjustments to common equity to derive segment average tangible common equity are generally set at the beginning of the year, and will remain fixed throughout the<br> year until the next annual reset unless a significant business change occurs (e.g., acquisition or disposition).
	-	Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill and intangible assets net of certain mortgage<br> servicing rights deduction.
	-	Tangible book value per common share represents tangible common equity divided by period end common shares<br> outstanding.
	-	Net revenues excluding DCP represents net revenues adjusted for the impact of mark-to-market gains/losses on<br> economic hedges associated with certain employee deferred cash-based compensation plans.
	-	Compensation expense excluding DCP represents compensation adjusted for the impact related to certain deferred<br> cash-based compensation plans linked to investment performance.

Definitions of Performance Metrics and Terms
Our earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and other<br> communications may also include certain metrics which we believe to be useful to us, analysts, investors and other stakeholders by providing further transparency about, or an additional means of assessing,<br> our financial condition and operating results.

The total amount of Liquidity Resources is actively managed by us considering the following components:<br> unsecured debt maturity profile; balance sheet size and composition; funding needs in a stressed environment, inclusive of contingent cash outflows; legal entity, regional and segment liquidity<br> requirements; regulatory requirements; and collateral requirements. Average Liquidity Resources represents the average daily balance for the three months ended September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023 and<br> September 30, 2022.

Page 4:
(a)	The Firm's attribution of average common equity to the business segments is based on the Required Capital<br> Framework, an internal capital adequacy measure. This framework is a risk-based and leverage-based capital measure, which is compared with the Firm's regulatory capital to ensure that the Firm maintains an<br> amount of going concern capital after absorbing potential losses from stress events, where applicable, at a point in time. The Required Capital Framework is based on the Firm's regulatory capital<br> requirements. The Firm defines the difference between its total average common equity and the sum of the average common equity amounts allocated to its business segments as Parent common equity. The amount<br> of capital allocated to the business segments is generally set at the beginning of the year, and will remain fixed throughout the year until the next annual reset unless a significant business change occurs<br> (e.g., acquisition or disposition). The Firm continues to evaluate its Required Capital Framework with respect to the impact of evolving regulatory requirements, as appropriate. For further discussion of<br> the framework, refer to "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Regulatory Requirements" in the Firm’s 2022 Form 10‐K.
(b)	The Firm's risk‐based capital ratios are computed under each of the (i) standardized approaches for calculating<br> credit risk and market risk risk‐weighted assets (RWAs) (the “Standardized Approach”) and (ii) applicable advanced approaches for calculating credit risk, market risk and operational risk RWAs (the<br> “Advanced Approach”). For information on the calculation of regulatory capital and ratios, and associated regulatory requirements, please refer to "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial<br> Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Regulatory Requirements" in the Firm’s 2022 Form 10‐K.
(c)	Supplementary leverage ratio represents Tier 1 capital divided by the total supplementary leverage exposure.

(b)	Pre-tax profit margin percentages represent income before provision for income taxes as percentages of net<br> revenues.
(c)	VaR represents the unrealized loss in portfolio value that one would not expect to exceed, on average, more than<br> five times every one hundred trading days in the Firm's trading positions if the portfolio were held constant for a one-day period. Further discussion of the calculation of VaR and the limitations of the<br> Firm's VaR methodology, is disclosed in "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Risk" included in the Firm's 2022 Form 10-K.

Adjusted Net revenues - non-GAAP	$	13,475	$	13,343		$	13,222	$	41,182		$	42,311

Adjusted Compensation expense - non-GAAP	$	5,992	$	6,084		$	5,733	$	18,293		$	18,343
-	Compensation expense for deferred cash-based compensation awards is calculated based on the notional value<br> of the award granted, adjusted for changes in the fair value of the referenced investments that employees select. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period relevant to each<br> separately vesting portion of deferred awards.
---	---
-	The Firm invests directly, as a principal, in financial instruments and other investments to economically<br> hedge certain of its obligations under these deferred cash-based compensation plans. Changes in the fair value of such investments, net of financing costs, are recorded in Net revenues, and included<br> in Transactional revenues in the Wealth Management business segment. Although changes in compensation expense resulting from changes in the fair value of the referenced investments will generally be<br> offset by changes in the fair value of investments recognized in net revenues, there is typically a timing difference between the immediate recognition of gains and losses on the Firm’s investments<br> and the deferred recognition of the related compensation expense over the vesting period. While this timing difference may not be material to Income before provision for income taxes for the Firm<br> in any individual period, it may impact the Wealth Management business segment reported ratios and operating metrics in certain periods due to potentially significant impacts to net revenues and<br> compensation expenses.
