Morgan Stanley Third Quarter 2021 Earnings Results

Morgan Stanley Reports Net Revenues of $14.8 Billion, EPS of $1.98 and ROTCE of 19.6%

NEW YORK, October 14, 2021 – Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) today reported net revenues of $14.8 billion for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared with $11.7 billion a year ago.  Net income applicable to Morgan Stanley was $3.7 billion, or $1.98 per diluted share,1 compared with net income of $2.7 billion, or $1.66 per diluted share,1 for the same period a year ago. The comparisons of current year results to prior periods were impacted by the acquisitions of E*TRADE Financial Corporation (“E*TRADE”), reported in the Wealth Management segment, and Eaton Vance Corp. (“Eaton Vance”), reported in the Investment Management segment.



James P. Gorman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The Firm delivered another very strong quarter, with robust revenues and improved efficiency producing an ROTCE of 20%. We had standout performance of our integrated Investment Bank and record net new assets of $135 billion in Wealth Management. Year-to-date, our successful integrations of E*TRADE and Eaton Vance have supported growth of $400 billion in net new client assets across Wealth and Investment Management, bringing our total combined client assets to $6.2 trillion.”

Institutional Securities

Institutional Securities reported net revenues for the current quarter of $7.5 billion compared with $6.1 billion a year ago. Pre-tax income was $3.0 billion compared with $2.0 billion a year ago.10

Investment Banking revenues up 67% from a year ago:

Record advisory revenues driven by higher completed M&A transactions.

Equity underwriting revenues increased from a year ago primarily from IPOs and blocks driven by more issuances and activity in a constructive market.

Fixed income underwriting revenues increased from a year ago driven by higher non-investment grade loan issuances on the back of increased event financing, partially offset by lower investment grade bond volumes.

Equity net revenues up 24% from a year ago:

Equity net revenues increased from a year ago reflecting higher results across products driven by strong client engagement in a favorable market environment, with particular strength in Asia.

Fixed Income net revenues down 16% from a year ago:

Fixed Income net revenues declined versus a strong prior year quarter. Results reflect a decrease in our macro businesses in a less volatile environment and lower results in our micro businesses driven by tighter bid-offer and credit spreads. The decrease was partially offset by higher revenues in commodities driven by an increase in client activity.

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.

1 Includes preferred dividends related to the calculation of earnings per share of $123 million and $120 million for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, 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 The provision for credit losses for loans and lending commitments is now presented as a separate line in the consolidated income statements.
 
5 Return on average tangible common equity and return on average tangible common equity excluding integration-related expenses are non-GAAP financial measures 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.  The calculation of return on average tangible common equity excluding integration-related expenses is adjusted in both the numerator and the denominator to exclude the integration-related expenses associated with the acquisitions of E*TRADE and Eaton Vance.
 
6 The Firm’s third quarter results include $145 million of integration-related expenses on a pre-tax basis ($111 million after-tax) as a result of the E*TRADE and Eaton Vance acquisitions.  The integration-related expenses include $19 million in compensation expense and $126 million in non-compensation expense.  Wealth Management and Investment Management integration-related expenses include $9 million and $10 million in compensation expense, respectively, and $104 million and $22 million in non-compensation expense, respectively.
 
7 The Firm expense efficiency ratio of 66.8% represents total non-interest expenses as a percentage of net revenues. The Firm expense efficiency ratio excluding integration-related expenses of 65.8% represents total non-interest expenses adjusted for integration-related expenses as a percentage of net revenues. The Firm expense efficiency ratio excluding integration-related expenses 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.
 
8 Pre-tax margin represents income before taxes divided by net revenues.  Wealth Management pre-tax margin excluding the integration-related expenses represents income before taxes less those expenses divided by net revenues.  Wealth Management pre-tax margin excluding integration-related expenses 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.
 
9 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. The current quarter ended September 30, 2021 includes $43 billion of fee-based assets acquired in an asset acquisition.
 
10 Pre-tax income represents income before taxes.
 
11 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.
6



12 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. The current quarter ended September 30, 2021 includes $43 billion of fee-based assets acquired in an asset acquisition.
 
13 AUM is defined as assets under management.
 
14 Long-term net flows include the Equity, Fixed Income and Alternative and Solutions asset classes and excludes the Liquidity and Overlay Services asset class.
 
15 Transactional revenues include investment banking, trading, and commissions and fee revenues.  Transactional revenues excluding the impact of mark-to-market gains on investments associated with employee deferred cash-based compensation plans is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers useful for analysts, investors and other stakeholders to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance and capital adequacy.
 
16 Capital ratios are estimates as of the press release date, October 14, 2021.
 
17 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 riskweighted 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, 2020 (2020 Form 10-K).
 
18 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.
 
19 The Firm’s supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) utilizes a Tier 1 capital numerator of approximately $83.5 billion and $79.9 billion, and supplementary leverage exposure denominator of approximately $1.46 trillion and $1.08 trillion, for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.  Based on a Federal Reserve interim final rule that was in effect until March 31, 2021, our SLR and supplementary leverage exposure as of September 30, 2020 reflects the exclusion of U.S. Treasury securities and deposits at Federal Reserve Banks.  The exclusion of these assets had the effect of increasing our SLR by 0.9% as of September 30, 2020.
 
20 The Firm intends to early adopt the standardized approach for counterparty credit risk (SA-CCR) under Basel III in the fourth quarter. SA-CCR replaces the current exposure method used to measure derivatives counterparty exposure on the Standardized Approach risk-weighted assets (RWAs) and Supplementary Leverage Ratio exposure calculations in the regulatory capital framework. In the absence of further mitigation, our RWAs under the Standardized Approach could increase by $35 - $45 billion and decrease our Standardized CET1 capital ratio by approximately 120 basis points. This preliminary impact is subject to risks and uncertainties as well as the portfolio composition as of the adoption date that may cause the actual impact to differ materially and should not be taken as a projection of what our capital ratios and RWAs will be in future periods.

Definition of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures  
     
     
(a)
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 positions, 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 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 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.  In addition to the following notes, please also refer to the Firm's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
(b)
The following are considered non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for analysts, investors and other stakeholders to allow comparability of operating performance and capital adequacy.  These measures are calculated as follows:
  -
Earnings per diluted share excluding integration-related expenses represents net income applicable to Morgan Stanley, adjusted for the impact of the integration-related expenses associated with the acquisitions of E*TRADE and Eaton Vance, less preferred dividends divided by the average number of diluted shares outstanding.
  -
The return on average tangible common equity represents annualized earnings applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity.
  -
The return on average common equity and the return on average tangible common equity excluding integration-related expenses are adjusted in both the numerator and the denominator to exclude the integration-related expenses associated with the acquisitions of E*TRADE and Eaton Vance.
  -
Segment return on average common equity and return on average tangible common equity represent full year net 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 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 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 servicing rights deduction.
  -
Tangible book value per common share represents tangible common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding.
  -
Pre-tax profit margin excluding integration-related expenses represents income before income taxes less integration-related expenses associated with the acquisitions of E*TRADE and Eaton Vance as percentages of net revenues.
  -
The Firm expense efficiency ratio excluding integration-related expenses represents total non‐interest expenses less integration-related expenses associated with the acquisitions of E*TRADE and Eaton Vance as a percentage of net revenues.

Definitions of Performance Metrics and Terms
   
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.

Page 1:
(a)
Provision for credit losses represents the provision for credit losses on loans held for investment and unfunded lending commitments.
(b)
Net income applicable to Morgan Stanley represents net income, less net income applicable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests.
(c)
Earnings applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders represents net income applicable to Morgan Stanley, less preferred dividends.
   
Page 2:
(a)
The return on average common equity represents annualized earnings applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity.
(b)
Book value per common share represents common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding.
(c)
Tangible book value per common share represents tangible common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding.
(d)
Pre-tax profit margin percentages represent income before income taxes as percentages of net revenues.
(e)
The Firm expense efficiency ratio represents total non‐interest expenses as a percentage of net revenues.
   
Page 3:
(a)
Liquidity Resources, which are held within the bank and non-bank operating subsidiaries, are comprised of high quality liquid assets (HQLA) and cash deposits with banks ("Liquidity Resources"). The total amount of Liquidity Resources is actively managed by us considering the following components: 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 requirements; regulatory requirements; and collateral requirements.
(b)
The Firm's goodwill and intangible balances utilized in the calculation of tangible common equity are net of certain mortgage servicing rights deduction.
(c)
U.S. Bank refers to the Firm's U.S. Bank operating subsidiaries Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association, E*TRADE Bank, and E*TRADE Savings Bank, and excludes balances between Bank subsidiaries, as well as deposits from the Parent and affiliates.
(d)
Firmwide regional revenues reflect the Firm's consolidated net revenues on a managed basis.  Further discussion regarding the geographic methodology for net revenues is disclosed in Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Firm's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (2020 Form 10-K).
   
Page 4:
(a)
The Firm's attribution of average common equity to the business segments is based on the Required Capital 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 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 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 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 (e.g., acquisition or disposition).  The Firm has made updates to its required capital framework for 2021 and continues to evaluate with respect to the impact of evolving regulatory requirements, as appropriate.  For further discussion of 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 2020 Form 10‐K.
(b)
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 2020 Form 10‐K.
(c)
Supplementary leverage ratio represents Tier 1 capital divided by the total supplementary leverage exposure.
   
Page 5:

(b)
Pre-tax profit margin percentages represent income before income taxes as percentages of net revenues.
(c)
VaR represents the unrealized loss in portfolio value that one would not expect to exceed, on average, more than 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 Firm's VaR methodology, is disclosed in "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Risk" included in the Firm's 2020 Form 10-K.

The Firm intends to early adopt the standardized approach for counterparty credit risk (SA-CCR) under Basel III in the fourth quarter. SA-CCR replaces the current exposure method used to measure derivatives counterparty exposure on the Standardized Approach risk-weighted assets (RWAs) and Supplementary Leverage Ratio exposure calculations in the regulatory capital framework. In the absence of further mitigation, our RWAs under the Standardized Approach could increase by $35 - $45 billion and decrease our Standardized CET1 capital ratio by approximately 120 basis points. This preliminary impact is subject to risks and uncertainties as well as the portfolio composition as of the adoption date that may cause the actual impact to differ materially and should not be taken as a projection of what our capital ratios and RWAs will be in future periods.

Based on a Federal Reserve interim final rule that was in effect until March 31, 2021, our SLR and supplementary leverage exposure as of September 30, 2020 reflects the exclusion of U.S. Treasury securities and deposits at Federal Reserve Banks. The exclusion of these assets had the effect of increasing our SLR by 0.9% as of September 30, 2020.
