Second Quarter 2024 Earnings Results

Global Banking & Markets

Net revenues in Global Banking & Markets were $8.18 billion for the second quarter of 2024, 14% higher than the second quarter of 2023 and 16% lower than the first quarter of 2024.

Investment banking fees were $1.73 billion, 21% higher than the second quarter of 2023, reflecting significantly higher net revenues in Debt underwriting, primarily driven by leveraged finance activity, higher net revenues in Equity underwriting, primarily from convertible and initial public offerings, and slightly higher net revenues in Advisory. The firm's Investment banking fees backlog3 increased significantly compared with the end of the first quarter of 2024 and increased slightly compared with the end of 2023.

Net revenues in FICC were $3.18 billion, 17% higher than the second quarter of 2023, reflecting higher net revenues in FICC intermediation (due to significantly higher net revenues in interest rate products and currencies and higher net revenues in mortgages, partially offset by significantly lower net revenues in commodities and lower net revenues in credit products) and significantly higher net revenues in FICC financing (driven by mortgages and structured lending).

Net revenues in Equities were $3.17 billion, 7% higher than the second quarter of 2023, reflecting higher net revenues in Equities intermediation, driven by significantly higher net revenues in derivatives, partially offset by lower net revenues in cash products. Net revenues in Equities financing were slightly lower, reflecting significantly lower net revenues from portfolio financing, largely offset by significantly higher net revenues from prime financing.

Net revenues in Other were $102 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared with $81 million for the second quarter of 2023.

Asset & Wealth Management

Net revenues in Asset & Wealth Management were $3.88 billion for the second quarter of 2024, 27% higher than the second quarter of 2023 and 2% higher than the first quarter of 2024. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2023 reflected net gains in Equity investments compared with net losses in the prior year period, higher Management and other fees and higher net revenues in Debt investments, partially offset by lower net revenues in Private banking and lending.

The increase in Equity investments net revenues primarily reflected net gains from real estate investments compared with significant net losses in the prior year period. The increase in Management and other fees primarily reflected the impact of higher average assets under supervision. Debt investments net revenues were higher, reflecting significantly lower net losses from real estate investments, partially offset by significantly lower net interest income due to a reduction in the Debt investments balance sheet. The decrease in Private banking and lending net revenues reflected the impact of the sale of the Marcus loans portfolio in 2023 (including a gain of approximately $100 million related to the sale of substantially all of the remaining Marcus loans portfolio in the second quarter of 2023).

Provisions for the second quarter of 2024 reflected net provisions related to the credit card portfolio (driven by net charge-offs). Provisions for the second quarter of 2023 reflected net provisions related to the credit card and point-of-sale loan portfolios (driven by net charge-offs and growth) and wholesale loans (driven by impairments), partially offset by a reserve reduction related to the repayment of a term deposit with First Republic Bank.

Operating Expenses

Provision for Credit Losses

$282 million

Operating expenses were $8.53 billion for the second quarter of 2024, essentially unchanged compared with both the second quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. The firm's efficiency ratio3 was 63.8% for the first half of 2024, compared with 73.3% for the first half of 2023.

Operating expenses, compared with the second quarter of 2023, reflected decreases driven by an impairment of goodwill related to Consumer platforms in the prior year period and significantly lower impairments related to consolidated real estate investments (both in depreciation and amortization), offset by increases from higher compensation and benefits expenses (reflecting improved operating performance) and higher transaction based expenses.

Net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings were $104 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared with $19 million for the second quarter of 2023.

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 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, 2023.

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 fees 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 those in Ukraine and the Middle East, 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 fees, see "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of the firm's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
