1. Introduction and Basis of Presentation

The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC) is a savings and loan holding company. CSC engages, through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Schwab or the Company), in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services.

Principal business subsidiaries of CSC include the following:

• Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (CS&Co), incorporated in 1971, a securities broker-dealer;
• Charles Schwab Bank, SSB (CSB), our principal banking entity; and
• Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab’s proprietary mutual funds (Schwab Funds®) and for Schwab’s exchange-traded funds (Schwab ETFs).

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Schwab,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean CSC together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying financial statements and in the related disclosures. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. While management makes its best judgment, actual amounts or results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments have been included for a fair statement of this interim financial information.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in Schwab’s 2025 Form 10-K.

The significant accounting policies are included in Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these accounting policies during the first three months of 2026.

2. New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company did not adopt any material new accounting standards during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

​

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Standard Description Required Date of Adoption Effects on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” Requires additional disclosures about certain expenses including, but not limited to, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and selling expenses. Also requires annual disclosure of how selling expenses are defined. Adoption allows retrospective or prospective application, with early adoption permitted. January 1, 2027 (applies to the annual financial statements for 2027 and interim periods thereafter) The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statement disclosures.

ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” Removes references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. Requires an entity to begin capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: 1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and 2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Adoption allows retrospective, prospective, or modified transition application, with early adoption permitted. January 1, 2028 The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

ASU 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements” Clarifies certain aspects of the guidance on hedge accounting and addresses several incremental hedge accounting issues arising from the global reference rate reform. Adoption should be applied on a prospective basis for all hedging relationships and may be elected for hedging relationships that exist as of the date of adoption. Upon adoption, entities will be permitted to modify certain critical terms of certain hedging relationships without dedesignating the hedge. January 1, 2027 The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

3. Business Acquisition

On March 2, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (Forge) for $636 million of cash and other consideration. Forge provides eligible investors with direct and indirect access to shares of private companies through direct share purchase, single company funds, and multicompany funds. The Company anticipates that incorporating Forge’s private company investment capabilities will enhance Schwab’s ability to meet the evolving needs of investors across our growing client base.

The Company accounted for the Forge acquisition as a business combination under GAAP and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The determination of fair values requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that the information available provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred; however, due to the timing of and limited time since the close of the acquisition, these estimates are provisional and may be adjusted upon the availability of new information regarding facts and circumstances which existed at the acquisition date. Any adjustments to the initial estimates of the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed will be recorded as adjustments to the respective assets and liabilities, with the residual amounts allocated to goodwill, in subsequent periods as prescribed in ASC 805 Business Combinations.

The following table summarizes provisional information including the consideration transferred, fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and resulting goodwill as of the March 2, 2026 acquisition date:

(1) Subsequent to the acquisition date, Schwab purchased the equity interest attributable to the noncontrolling party resulting in the subsidiary becoming 100%-owned by Schwab as of March 31, 2026.

The provisional identifiable intangible assets of $310 million are subject to amortization. The following table summarizes the major classes of intangible assets acquired and their respective estimated fair values and weighted-average useful lives:

Goodwill recorded of $347 million, primarily attributable to the expanded product offerings and capabilities anticipated from the Forge acquisition, was assigned to the Investor Services segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income include total net revenues and net loss attributable to the Forge acquisition of $14 million and $6 million, respectively, for the period March 2, 2026 through March 31, 2026.

Certain Forge equity awards, whether vested or unvested, were assumed by the Company upon acquisition. The awards are subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable immediately before the acquisition, except for performance-based restricted stock units which were converted into restricted stock units without performance conditions. The portion of the fair value of the replacement awards related to services provided prior to the acquisition of $13 million was accounted for as consideration transferred. The remaining portion is associated with future services and had a fair value of $37 million on the acquisition date, with remaining weighted-average service periods of 2.3 years for restricted stock awards and 2.2 years for restricted stock units.

4. Revenue Recognition

Disaggregation of Schwab’s revenue by major source is as follows:

(1) Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, interest revenue and interest expense from client margin loans and short credits related to certain client long/short strategies from which the Company earns a fixed net yield are presented in other interest revenue and other interest expense. Interest revenue and interest expense amounts related to these strategies were previously presented in receivables from brokerage clients and payables to brokerage clients, respectively, and 2025 amounts have been reclassified to reflect this change.

(2) Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, alternative investments revenue was moved from other asset management and administration fees to mutual funds, ETFs, CTFs, and alternatives. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect this change.

For a summary of revenue provided by our reportable segments, see Note 19. The recognition of revenue is not impacted by the operating segment in which revenue is generated.

Contract balances: Receivables from contracts with customers within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 Revenue From Contracts With Customers (ASC 606), are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and totaled $901 million and $819 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The Company had net contract assets of $188 million and $193 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, related to the buy down of fixed-rate obligation amounts pursuant to the 2023 IDA agreement. These amounts are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the

remaining contractual term as a reduction to bank deposit account fee revenue. For additional discussion of the 2023 IDA agreement, see Note 11.

Unsatisfied performance obligations: We do not have any unsatisfied performance obligations other than those that are subject to an elective practical expedient under ASC 606. The practical expedient applies to and is elected for contracts where we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

5. Receivables from and Payables to Brokers, Dealers, and Clearing Organizations

Receivables from and payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations are detailed below:

6. Investment Securities

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of the Company’s AFS and HTM investment securities are as follows:

(1) As of March 31, 2026, approximately 28%, 26%, and 21% of total AFS corporate debt securities were issued by institutions in the information technology, consumer staples, and healthcare industries, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 28%, 27%, and 19% of total AFS corporate debt securities were issued by institutions in the information technology, consumer staples, and healthcare industries, respectively.

(2) As of March 31, 2026, approximately 62% and 21% of total AFS asset-backed securities were collateralized by Federal Family Education Loan Program asset-backed securities and credit card receivables, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 70% and 21% of total AFS asset-backed securities were collateralized by Federal Family Education Loan Program asset-backed securities and credit card receivables, respectively.

(3) This represents the amount of PLM fair value hedge basis adjustments related to AFS securities hedged in a closed portfolio. See Note 12 for more information on PLM hedge accounting.

(4) Included in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, but excluded from this table, is $291 million of AFS commercial paper and $2.0 billion of AFS U.S. Treasury securities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These holdings had maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition, and an aggregate market value equal to amortized cost.

At March 31, 2026, our banking subsidiaries had pledged investment securities with a fair value of $12.9 billion (collateral value of $12.0 billion) as collateral to secure borrowing capacity on secured credit facilities with the FHLB (see Note 10). Our banking subsidiaries also pledge investment securities as collateral to secure borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve discount window, and had pledged securities with a fair value of $29.7 billion (collateral value of $28.6 billion) as collateral for this facility at March 31, 2026. The Company also pledges investment securities issued by federal agencies to secure certain trust deposits. The fair value and collateral value of these pledged securities was $1.6 billion at March 31, 2026.

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Ratios, or as Noted)

(Unaudited)

At March 31, 2026, our banking subsidiaries had pledged HTM securities as collateral under repurchase agreements with external financial institutions and the FICC. HTM securities pledged were U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $3.1 billion, of which $2.6 billion may be sold, repledged, or otherwise used by the counterparties. See Notes 10 and 13 for additional information on these repurchase agreements.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had pledged AFS securities consisting of U.S. Treasury securities with an aggregate fair value of $648 million as initial margin on interest rate swaps (see Notes 12 and 13). All of Schwab’s interest rate swaps are cleared through central counterparty (CCP) clearing houses which require the Company to post initial margin as collateral against potential losses. Initial margin is posted through futures commission merchants (FCM) which serve as the intermediary between the CCPs and Schwab. The FCM agreements governing our swaps allow for securities pledged as initial margin to be sold, repledged, or otherwise used by the FCM.

AFS investment securities with unrealized losses, aggregated by category and period of continuous unrealized loss, are as follows:

(1) Amounts of unrealized losses less than 12 months were less than $500 thousand.

(2) For purposes of this table, unrealized losses on AFS securities excludes the unallocated PLM fair value hedge basis adjustments of $(2) million and $2 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

At March 31, 2026, substantially all rated securities in the investment portfolios were investment grade. U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities do not have explicit credit ratings; however, management considers these to be of the highest credit quality and rating given the guarantee of principal and interest by the U.S. government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.

For a description of management’s quarterly evaluation of AFS securities in unrealized loss positions, see Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2025 Form 10-K. No amounts were recognized as credit loss expense and no securities were written down to fair value through earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025. None of the Company’s AFS securities held as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 had an allowance for credit losses. HTM securities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities and therefore had no allowance for credit losses because expected nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero.

The Company had $398 million and $386 million of accrued interest for AFS and HTM securities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These amounts are excluded from the amortized cost basis and fair market value of AFS and HTM securities and included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no writeoffs of accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, or for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The following table presents the Company’s estimated effective duration, which reflects anticipated future payments, by category at March 31, 2026:

(1) See Note 12 for additional discussion of the Company’s derivatives.

In the table below, mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities have been allocated to maturity groupings based on final contractual maturities. As borrowers may have the right to call or prepay certain obligations underlying our investment securities, actual maturities may differ from the scheduled contractual maturities presented below.

The maturities of AFS and HTM investment securities are as follows:

(1) For purposes of this table, the amortized cost of AFS securities excludes the unallocated PLM fair value hedge basis adjustments of $(2) million at March 31, 2026.

Proceeds and gross realized gains and losses from sales of AFS investment securities are as follows:

7. Bank Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses

The composition of bank loans and delinquency analysis by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable is as follows:

(1) First Mortgages and HELOCs include unamortized premiums and discounts and direct origination costs of $136 million and $131 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

(2) At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 41% of the First Mortgage and HELOC portfolios were concentrated in California. These loans have performed in a manner consistent with the portfolio as a whole.

(3) There were no loans accruing interest that were contractually 90 days or more past due at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. Bank-loan related nonperforming assets consisted of the nonaccrual loans presented here and loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty were not material at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

At March 31, 2026, CSB had pledged the full balance of First Mortgages and HELOCs pursuant to a blanket lien status collateral arrangement to secure borrowing capacity on a secured credit facility with the FHLB (see Note 10).

Changes in the allowance for credit losses on bank loans were as follows:

Consistent with Schwab’s loan charge-off policy for PALs as disclosed in Item 8 – Note 2 of the 2025 Form 10-K, the Company charges off any unsecured balances no later than 90 days past due. As of March 31, 2026, substantially all PALs are also subject to the collateral maintenance practical expedient under ASC 326 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. All PALs were fully collateralized by securities with fair values in excess of borrowings as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and no allowance for credit losses for PALs as of those dates was required.

The U.S. economy experienced soft hiring and steady core inflation at the end of the first quarter of 2026. Geopolitical unrest persists amid a backdrop of elevated uncertainty due to economic impacts of emerging trade policy and a constrained energy

supply. Management’s macroeconomic outlook reflects sustained current benchmark lending rates, with a softening labor market. Though higher mortgage rates are easing demand and reducing borrower affordability, we expect constrained housing supply to keep home prices relatively stable. Furthermore, credit quality metrics in the Company’s bank loans portfolio remain strong. As a result of these factors, we held projected loss rates constant at March 31, 2026, as compared to December 31, 2025.

Credit Quality

In addition to monitoring delinquency, Schwab monitors the credit quality of First Mortgages and HELOCs by stratifying the portfolios by the following:

• Year of origination;
• Borrower Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores at origination (Origination FICO);
• Refreshed borrower FICO scores (Refreshed FICO);
• Loan-to-value (LTV) ratios at origination (Origination LTV); and
• Estimated Refreshed LTV ratios (Estimated Refreshed LTV).

Borrowers’ FICO scores are provided by an independent third-party credit reporting service and are generally updated quarterly. The Origination LTV and Estimated Refreshed LTV for a HELOC include any first lien mortgage outstanding on the same property at the time of the HELOC’s origination. The Estimated Refreshed LTV for each loan is updated on a monthly basis by reference to a home price appreciation index.

The credit quality indicators of the Company’s First Mortgages and HELOCs are detailed below:

(1) Represents the LTV for the full line of credit (drawn and undrawn) for revolving HELOCs.

(1) Represents the LTV for the full line of credit (drawn and undrawn) for revolving HELOCs.

At March 31, 2026, $27.0 billion of First Mortgage loans had adjustable interest rates. Substantially all of these mortgages have initial fixed interest rates for three to ten years and interest rates that typically adjust every six to twelve months pursuant to the terms of the loan thereafter. Approximately 23% of the balance of these mortgages consisted of loans with interest-only payment terms. The interest rates on approximately 63% of the balance of these interest-only loans are not scheduled to reset for three or more years.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Schwab had $234 million and $223 million, respectively, of accrued interest on bank loans, which is excluded from the amortized cost basis of bank loans and included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The HELOC product has a 30-year loan term with an initial draw period of ten years from the date of origination. After the initial draw period, the balance outstanding at such time is converted to a 20-year amortizing loan. The interest rate during the initial draw period and the 20-year amortizing period is a floating-rate based on the prime rate plus a margin.

The following table presents when current outstanding HELOCs will convert to amortizing loans:

(1) Includes $3 million of HELOCs converted to amortizing loans during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

At March 31, 2026, $322 million of the HELOC portfolio was secured by second liens on the associated properties. Second lien mortgage loans typically possess a higher degree of credit risk given the subordination to the first lien holder in the event of default. In addition to the credit monitoring activities described previously, Schwab also monitors credit risk by reviewing the delinquency status of the first lien loan on the associated property. At March 31, 2026, the borrowers on approximately 55% of HELOC loan balances outstanding only paid the minimum amount due.

8. Variable Interest Entities

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, substantially all of Schwab’s involvement with variable interest entities (VIEs) is through CSB’s Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) related investments and most of these are related to Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) investments. As part of CSB’s community reinvestment initiatives, CSB invests in funds that make equity investments in multifamily affordable housing properties and receives tax credits and other tax benefits for these investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, CSB recorded amortization of $59 million and $47 million, respectively, and recognized tax credits and other tax benefits of $77 million and $61 million, respectively, associated with these investments. The amortization, as well as the tax credits and other tax benefits, are included in taxes on income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Tax credits and other tax benefits are reflected as cash flows from operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Aggregate assets, aggregate liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss

The aggregate assets, aggregate liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss from those VIEs in which Schwab holds a variable interest, but is not the primary beneficiary, are summarized in the table below:

(1) Aggregate assets and aggregate liabilities are included in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(2) Other investments include non-LIHTC CRA investments that are accounted for as loans at amortized cost, equity method investments, AFS securities, or using the adjusted cost method. Aggregate assets are included in AFS securities, bank loans — net, or other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Schwab’s maximum exposure to loss would result from the loss of the investments, including any committed amounts. Schwab’s funding of these remaining commitments is dependent upon the occurrence of certain conditions, and Schwab expects to pay substantially all of these commitments between 2026 and 2029. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025, Schwab did not provide or intend to provide financial or other support to the VIEs that it was not contractually required to provide.

9. Bank Deposits

Bank deposits consist of interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposits as follows:

(1) Time certificates of deposit consist of brokered CDs. The weighted-average interest rates on outstanding time certificates of deposit at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were 3.77% and 4.03%, respectively.

FHLB borrowings: Our banking subsidiaries maintain secured credit facilities with the FHLB. Amounts available under these facilities are dependent on the amount of bank loans and the value of certain investment securities that are pledged as collateral. There were no amounts outstanding under these facilities as of March 31, 2026. There was $1.9 billion outstanding under these facilities as of December 31, 2025 and these borrowings had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.90%.

Other short-term borrowings: Total other short-term borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $12.5 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively, and had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.98% and 4.09%, respectively. Additional information regarding our other short-term borrowings facilities is described below.

The Company may engage with external financial institutions and the FICC in repurchase agreements collateralized by investment securities as another source of short-term liquidity.

Repurchase agreements outstanding at March 31, 2026 mature between April 2026 and June 2026.

Our banking subsidiaries have access to funding through the Federal Reserve discount window. Amounts available are dependent upon the value of certain investment securities that are pledged as collateral. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our collateral pledged provided total borrowing capacity of $28.6 billion and $29.3 billion, respectively, of which no amounts were outstanding at the end of either period.

Pursuant to the Program, Rocket Mortgage, LLC originates and services First Mortgages and HELOCs for CSB clients. Under the Program, CSB purchases certain First Mortgages and HELOCs that are originated by Rocket Mortgage, LLC. CSB purchased First Mortgages of $2.0 billion and $963 million during the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. CSB purchased HELOCs with commitments of $62 million and $50 million during the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The Company’s commitments to extend credit on lines of credit and to purchase First Mortgages are as follows:

Guarantees and indemnifications: Schwab has clients that sell (i.e., write) listed option contracts that are cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation – a clearing house that establishes margin requirements on these transactions. We satisfy the margin requirements of these transactions through pledging certain client securities. For additional information on these pledged securities, refer to Note 13. In connection with its securities lending activities, Schwab is required to provide collateral to certain brokerage clients. The Company satisfies the collateral requirements by providing cash as collateral.

The Company also provides guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges under standard membership agreements, which require members to guarantee the performance of other members. Under the agreements, if another member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing houses and exchanges, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. The Company’s liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and may exceed the amounts it has posted as collateral. The Company also engages third-party firms to clear clients’ futures and options on futures transactions and to facilitate clients’ foreign exchange trading, and has agreed to indemnify these firms for any losses that they may incur from the client transactions introduced to them by the Company. The potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these guarantees and indemnifications.

IDA agreement: The 2023 IDA agreement with the TD Depository Institutions specifies responsibilities, including certain contingent obligations, of the Company. Pursuant to the 2023 IDA agreement, uninvested cash within eligible brokerage client accounts is swept off-balance sheet to deposit accounts at the TD Depository Institutions. Schwab provides recordkeeping and support services to the TD Depository Institutions with respect to the deposit accounts for which Schwab receives an aggregate monthly fee. Under the 2023 IDA agreement, the service fee on client cash deposits held at the TD Depository Institutions is 15 basis points. The Company’s ability to migrate these balances to its balance sheet is dependent on multiple factors including having sufficient capital levels to sustain these incremental deposits and certain binding limitations specified in the 2023 IDA agreement.

The 2023 IDA agreement extends the term to sweep balances to the TD Depository Institutions through July 1, 2034, and requires that Schwab maintain certain minimum and maximum insured deposit account balances (IDA balances). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, after September 10, 2025, withdrawals of balances are permitted at Schwab’s discretion, subject to an obligation to maintain IDA balances above a minimum of $60 billion, with a maximum of $90 billion. In accordance with the agreement, Schwab moved $1.1 billion of BDA balances to its balance sheet during the first three months of 2026.

Designation of deposit balances for investment in fixed- or floating-rate instruments under the 2023 IDA agreement is at Schwab’s sole discretion with certain limitations on the amount of fixed-rate obligation amounts. If IDA balances decline below

the required IDA balance minimum as described above, Schwab would be required to make a nonperformance payment to the TD Depository Institutions pursuant to the terms of the 2023 IDA agreement.

As of March 31, 2026, the total ending IDA balance was $73.6 billion, of which $59.6 billion was fixed-rate obligation amounts and $14.0 billion was floating-rate obligation amounts. As of December 31, 2025, the total ending IDA balance was $76.3 billion, of which $59.6 billion was fixed-rate obligation amounts and $16.7 billion was floating-rate obligation amounts.

Legal contingencies: Schwab is subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, some of which include claims for substantial or unspecified damages. The Company is also the subject of inquiries, investigations, and proceedings by regulatory and other governmental agencies.

Predicting the outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter is inherently difficult, requiring significant judgment and evaluation of various factors, including the procedural status of the matter and any recent developments; prior experience and the experience of others in similar cases; available defenses, including potential opportunities to dispose of a case on the merits or procedural grounds before trial (e.g., motions to dismiss or for summary judgment); the progress of fact discovery; the opinions of counsel and experts regarding potential damages; and potential opportunities for settlement and the status of any settlement discussions. It may not be reasonably possible to estimate a range of potential liability until the matter is closer to resolution – pending, for example, further proceedings, the outcome of key motions or appeals, or discussions among the parties. Numerous issues may have to be developed, such as discovery of important factual matters and determination of threshold legal issues, which may include novel or unsettled questions of law. Reserves are established or adjusted or further disclosure and estimates of potential loss are provided as the matter progresses and more information becomes available.

Schwab believes it has strong defenses in all significant matters currently pending and is contesting liability and any damages claimed. Nevertheless, some of these matters may result in adverse judgments or awards, including penalties, injunctions or other relief, and the Company may also determine to settle a matter because of the uncertainty and risks of litigation. Described below are any matters in which there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss could be incurred or where the matter may otherwise be of significant interest to stockholders. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any potential liability given the stage of proceedings in the matter. With respect to all other pending matters, based on current information and consultation with counsel, it does not appear reasonably possible that the outcome of any such matter would be material to the financial condition, operating results, or cash flows of the Company.

Corrente Antitrust Litigation: On June 6, 2022, CSC was sued in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on behalf of a putative class of customers who purchased or sold securities through CS&Co or TD Ameritrade, Inc. (now part of CS&Co) from October 26, 2020 to the present. The lawsuit alleges that CSC’s acquisition of Ameritrade violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act because it has resulted in an anticompetitive market for the execution of retail customer orders. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, as well as injunctive and other relief. A motion by the Company to dismiss the lawsuit was denied by the court on February 24, 2023. On December 12, 2024, the parties filed a joint stipulation proposing a settlement of the lawsuit on a class basis under which defendants would commit to certain non-monetary undertakings and payments of plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs in an amount that would be immaterial. The court granted final approval of the settlement on November 24, 2025, and certain objectors to the settlement have appealed the decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

12. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures that arise from business activities related to changes in fair values or the receipt and payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts due to changes in interest rates. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage changes in the fair values of, as well as changes in the amounts and/or timing of known or expected cash receipts and payments related to, our AFS investment portfolio, margin loans, PALs, and Senior Notes.

For a description of how the Company accounts for derivative instruments, see Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2025 Form 10-K. For additional information on the basis of presentation for derivative instruments on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and related offsetting considerations, see Note 13. Cash flows associated with derivative instruments are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows consistent with the treatment and nature of the items being hedged.

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate AFS securities and Senior Notes, as well as its fixed-to-floating rate Senior Notes during the fixed-rate period, due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses cleared interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value of these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. Cleared interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of AFS securities involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a CCP in exchange for the Company receiving floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements. Cleared interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of Senior Notes involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a CCP in exchange for the Company’s floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company uses cleared interest rate swaps designated as cash flows hedges as part of its interest rate risk management strategy to add stability to interest revenue and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a CCP in exchange for the Company’s floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements. Such derivatives are used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with Schwab’s margin loans and PALs.

Notional Amounts of Derivative Instruments

The Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $68.2 billion and $42.2 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, that were designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $66.5 billion and $18.7 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

The notional amount is the basis upon which the pay-fixed/receive-float and receive-fixed/pay-float payments are determined; however, the amount is not exchanged. While the notional amounts give an indication of the volume of our derivative activity, they do not necessarily provide information on the amount of the underlying exposure being hedged. For example, we may enter into multiple hedges covering different periods of time but relating to the same underlying principal balances to hedge interest receipts or payments on AFS securities, margin loans, PALs, and Senior Notes. As a result, at certain times the combined notional amount of hedges may exceed the underlying principal balances.

As of March 31, 2026, through its cash flow hedges, the Company hedged interest receipts on $20.0 billion of margin loans with a total notional outstanding of $43.6 billion, and interest receipts on $19.8 billion of PALs with a total outstanding notional of $22.9 billion. As of March 31, 2026, through fair value hedges, the Company hedged $19.5 billion of Senior Notes with a total outstanding notional amount of $57.0 billion and $11.2 billion of AFS securities with a total outstanding notional amount of $11.2 billion.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

The table below presents the gross fair values of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

(1) Derivative assets are included in other assets and derivative liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(2) Includes reductions related to variation margin settlements. Settlements on derivative positions cleared through CCPs are reflected as reductions to the associated derivative asset and liability balances. As of March 31, 2026, there was a $53 million reduction of derivative assets and a $270 million reduction of derivative liabilities related to variation margin settlements. As of December 31, 2025, there was a $93 million reduction of derivative assets and a $21 million reduction of derivative liabilities related to variation margin settlements.

Effects of Fair Value Hedge Accounting

The following amounts are included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to fair value hedges:

(1) Includes the amortized cost basis of AFS securities included in PLM hedging relationships. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $995 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, of which $663 million and $771 million was designated in a portfolio layer hedging relationship at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships were a reduction of $2 million and an increase of $2 million of the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

(2) Excludes the amortized cost and fair value hedging adjustment of AFS securities for which hedge accounting has been discontinued. The cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments remaining for these securities was a reduction of the amortized cost basis of $30 million and $26 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which are recorded in AFS securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest revenue as a yield adjustment over the lives of the securities.

(3) Excludes the carrying amount and fair value hedging adjustment of long-term debt for which hedge accounting has been discontinued. The cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments remaining for long-term debt was an increase of the carrying amount of $4 million and $5 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which is recorded in long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense over the lives of the borrowings.

The table below presents the effect of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on the condensed consolidated statements of income:

(1) Interest revenue excludes net gain (loss) from periodic interest accruals and receipts (payments) of $1 million and $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Interest expense excludes net gain (loss) from periodic interest accruals and receipts (payments) of $5 million and $(10) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Effects of Cash Flow Hedge Accounting

The table below presents the effect of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges on AOCI (pre-tax) and the condensed consolidated statements of income:

(1) Included in net unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

For the twelve months following March 31, 2026, the Company expects to reclassify from AOCI into interest revenue approximately $74 million of pre-tax losses.

13. Financial Instruments Subject to Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk

Resale agreements: CS&Co enters into collateralized resale agreements principally with other broker-dealers to meet obligations related to customer protection under SEC Rule 15c3-3. These collateralized resale agreements could result in losses in the event the counterparty fails to purchase the securities held as collateral for the cash advanced and the fair value of the securities declines. To mitigate this risk, CS&Co requires that the counterparty deliver securities to a custodian, to be held as collateral, with a fair value at or in excess of the resale price. CS&Co also sets standards for the credit quality of the

• 50 -

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Ratios, or as Noted)

(Unaudited)

counterparty, monitors the fair value of the underlying securities as compared to the related receivable, including accrued interest, and requires additional collateral where deemed appropriate. The collateral provided under these resale agreements is utilized to meet obligations under broker-dealer client protection rules, which place limitations on our ability to access such segregated securities. For CS&Co to repledge or sell this collateral, we would be required to deposit cash and/or securities of an equal amount into our segregated reserve bank accounts in order to meet our segregated cash and investments requirement. CS&Co’s resale agreements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were not subject to master netting arrangements. Amounts related to these resale agreements are included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Schwab’s banking subsidiaries also enter into collateralized resale agreements with the FICC in which they buy securities and agree to resell these securities at a future date at an agreed upon price. Schwab receives collateral with a fair value equal to or in excess of the carrying value of the related receivables, including accrued interest, and requires additional collateral where deemed appropriate. Schwab is permitted by contract to repledge or sell collateral received under these resale agreements. In order to repledge or sell this collateral, the banking subsidiaries would be required to deposit additional securities of an equal amount with the custodian to replace the collateral received and maintain the net position. The ability to repledge or sell collateral maintained by the custodian in conjunction with collateralized resale agreements is subject to operational limitations, which may restrict Schwab’s use of the securities. There were no securities repledged or sold under these arrangements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These collateralized resale agreements with each counterparty are considered to be enforceable master netting arrangements. However, we do not net these arrangements. As such, amounts recognized pursuant to these arrangements are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are included in cash and cash equivalents or other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets based upon the maturity date of the transaction.

Securities lending: Schwab loans brokerage client securities temporarily to other broker-dealers and clearing houses in connection with its securities lending activities and receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in security prices may cause the fair value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event a counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities or provide additional cash collateral, we may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy our client obligations. Schwab mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, monitoring the fair value of securities loaned, and requiring additional cash as collateral when necessary. In addition, most of our securities lending transactions are through a program with a clearing organization, which guarantees the return of collateral to us. We also borrow securities from other broker-dealers to fulfill short sales by brokerage clients and deliver cash to the lender in exchange for the securities. The fair value of these borrowed securities was $8.6 billion and $4.6 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our securities lending transactions are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with other broker-dealers; however, we do not net securities lending transactions. Therefore, amounts related to securities borrowed and securities loaned are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are included in receivables from brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations and payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Repurchase agreements: Schwab’s banking subsidiaries enter into collateralized repurchase agreements with external financial institutions and the FICC in which they sell securities and agree to repurchase these securities on a specified future date at a stated repurchase price. These repurchase agreements are collateralized by investment securities with a fair value equal to or in excess of the secured borrowing liability. CS&Co also enters into collateralized repurchase agreements with external financial institutions in which CS&Co utilizes qualifying securities in client margin accounts as collateral. These repurchase agreements are collateralized by client margin securities with a fair value equal to or in excess of the secured borrowing liability. Client margin securities are transferred to an independent agent on behalf of CS&Co and the counterparty, who assumes the responsibility of receiving eligible securities and assigning these securities to the counterparty. Decreases in security prices posted as collateral for repurchase agreements may require Schwab to transfer cash and/or additional securities deemed acceptable by the counterparty. To mitigate this risk, Schwab monitors the fair value of underlying securities pledged as collateral compared to the related liability. Our collateralized repurchase agreements with each external financial institution are considered to be enforceable master netting arrangements. However, we do not net these arrangements. As such, the secured borrowings associated with these collateralized repurchase agreements are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Repurchase agreements at Schwab’s banking subsidiaries are included in other short-term borrowings in the consolidated balance sheets and repurchase agreements at CS&Co are included in payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest rate swaps: Schwab uses interest rate swaps to manage certain interest rate risk exposures. Schwab’s interest rate swaps are cleared through CCPs which require the Company to post initial margin as collateral against potential losses. Schwab pledges investment securities as collateral in order to meet the CCP’s initial margin requirements. Initial margin is posted

(Unaudited)

through FCMs which serve as the intermediary between CCPs and Schwab. Our interest rate swaps are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements allowing a right of setoff within each FCM-CCP relationship; however, we do not net these positions. Therefore, interest rate swaps are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Derivative assets are included in other assets and derivative liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 12 for additional information on the Company’s interest rate swaps.

The following table presents information about our interest rate swaps, resale agreements, securities lending, repurchase agreements, and other activity depicting the potential effect of rights of setoff between these recognized assets and liabilities. Collateral disclosed in the table below is limited to the amount of the related recognized asset or liability for each counterparty, even when the collateral value exceeds the gross asset or liability value:

(1) At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of collateral received in connection with resale agreements that was available to be repledged or sold was $24.8 billion and $17.2 billion, respectively.

(2) At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of initial margin pledged as collateral related to interest rate swaps was $648 million and $281 million, respectively. See Notes 6 and 12 for additional information.

(3) At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, repurchase agreements outstanding at CS&Co had continuous contractual maturities of 35-60 days.

(4) At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of collateral pledged in connection with repurchase agreements at the Company’s banking subsidiaries was $3.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. See Note 10 for additional information. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, collateral pledged for repurchase agreements outstanding at CS&Co was comprised of equity securities held in client brokerage accounts. See table below for fair value of client margin securities held in client brokerage accounts pledged as collateral.

(5) Securities loaned are predominantly comprised of equity securities held in client brokerage accounts. At March 31, 2026, $13.4 billion of securities loaned had overnight and continuous remaining contractual maturities and $13.1 billion of securities loaned had contractual maturities of 35-95 days. At December 31, 2025, $15.0 billion of securities loaned had overnight and continuous remaining contractual maturities and $10.1 billion of securities loaned had contractual maturities of 35-95 days.

(6) Included in other short-term borrowings in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, collateral pledged for secured short-term borrowings was comprised of equity securities held in client brokerage accounts. See below for amount of collateral pledged and Note 10 for additional information.

Margin lending: Clients with margin loans have agreed to allow Schwab to pledge collateralized securities in their brokerage accounts in accordance with federal regulations. The following table summarizes the fair value of client securities that were available, under such regulations, that could have been used as collateral, as well as the fair value of securities that we had pledged to third parties under such regulations and from securities borrowed transactions:

Note: Excludes amounts available and pledged for securities lending from fully-paid client securities. The fair value of fully-paid client securities available and pledged was $301 million and $217 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

(1) Securities pledged to fulfill client margin requirements for open option contracts established with the Options Clearing Corporation.

14. Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Schwab’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include certain cash equivalents, certain investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes, AFS securities, certain other assets, interest rate derivatives, and certain accrued expenses and other liabilities. The Company uses the market approach to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities. When available, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities. Quoted prices for investments in exchange-traded securities represent end-of-day close prices published by exchanges. Quoted prices for money market funds and other mutual funds represent reported net asset values. When utilizing market data and bid-ask spread, the Company uses the price within the bid-ask spread that best represents fair value. When quoted prices in active markets do not exist, the Company uses prices obtained from independent third-party pricing services to measure the fair value of investment assets, and we generally obtain prices from three independent third-party pricing sources for such assets recorded at fair value.

Our primary independent pricing service provides prices for our fixed income investments such as commercial paper; certificates of deposit; U.S. government and agency securities; state and municipal securities; corporate debt securities; asset-backed securities; foreign government agency securities; and non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. Such prices are based on observable trades, broker/dealer quotes, and discounted cash flows that incorporate observable information such as yields for similar types of securities (a benchmark interest rate plus observable spreads) and weighted-average maturity for the same or similar “to-be-issued” securities. We compare the prices obtained from the primary independent pricing service to the prices obtained from the additional independent pricing services to determine if the price obtained from the primary independent pricing service is reasonable. Schwab does not adjust the prices received from independent third-party pricing services unless such prices are inconsistent with the definition of fair value and result in material differences in the amounts recorded.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include interest rate swaps, securities sold but not yet purchased, and repurchase liabilities related to client-held fractional shares of equities, ETFs, and other securities, which are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of securities sold but not yet purchased are based on quoted market prices or other observable market data. The Company has elected the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825 Financial Instruments for the repurchase liabilities to match the measurement and accounting of the related client-held fractional shares. The fair values of the repurchase liabilities are based on quoted market prices or other observable market data consistent with the related client-held fractional shares. Unrealized gains and losses on client-held fractional shares offset the unrealized gains and losses on the corresponding repurchase liabilities, resulting in no impact to the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company’s liabilities to repurchase client-held fractional shares do not have credit risk, and, as a result, the Company has not recognized any gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of income or comprehensive income attributable to instrument-specific credit risk for these repurchase liabilities. The repurchase liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The fair values of interest rate derivatives are based on market observable interest rate yield curves. Fair value measurements are priced considering the coupon rate of the fixed leg of the contract and the variable coupon rate on the floating leg of the contract. Valuation is based on both spot and forward rates on the swap yield curve. See Note 12 for additional information on the Company’s interest rate derivatives.

For a description of the fair value hierarchy and Schwab’s fair value methodologies, see Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2025 Form 10-K. The Company did not adjust prices received from the primary independent third-party pricing service at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

15. Stockholders’ Equity

Common and Nonvoting Common Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, CSC repurchased 24.3 million shares of its common stock under its $20.0 billion authorization for $2.4 billion. As of March 31, 2026 approximately $12.1 billion remained on the $20.0 billion authorization.

On February 12, 2025, TD Group US Holdings LLC, an affiliate of TD Bank, completed a secondary public offering of the Company’s common shares through which TD Group US Holdings LLC sold 133.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock and 31.7 million shares of the Company’s nonvoting common stock, which automatically converted into common stock. The offering was completed at a price of $79.25 per share, for an aggregate amount of $13.1 billion. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from this sale.

Concurrent with the completion of the secondary offering, and pursuant to a repurchase agreement dated February 9, 2025, the Company repurchased directly from TD Group US Holdings LLC its remaining 19.2 million shares of nonvoting common stock at a price of $77.982 per share for an aggregate repurchase amount of $1.5 billion, which settled on February 12, 2025. The shares of nonvoting common stock automatically converted into common stock upon repurchase and transferred to treasury stock, reducing the number of shares outstanding. These shares were purchased under CSC’s previous $15.0 billion share repurchase authorization.

Through the completion of the secondary offering and the Company’s repurchase of nonvoting common stock, TD Bank disposed of all of its common shares of CSC and as of February 12, 2025, the Company had no remaining nonvoting common stock outstanding.

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, on April 22, 2026, the Company issued and sold 1,500,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/100th ownership interest in a share of 6.100% fixed-rate reset non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series L, $.01 par value per share, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share (equivalent of $1,000 per depositary share). The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $1.5 billion, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses.

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, on May 4, 2026, the Company announced that it will redeem on June 1, 2026 all of the 20,554 outstanding shares of its fixed-rate reset non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series I, and the corresponding 2,055,433 depositary shares, each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of the Series I preferred stock. The depositary shares will be redeemed at a redemption price of $1,000 per depositary share for a total of $2.1 billion. The redemption price does not include the regular quarterly dividend that was declared on April 23, 2026 and will be paid separately on June 1, 2026.

16. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

AOCI represents cumulative gains and losses that are not reflected in earnings. AOCI balances and the components of other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

(1) Tax expense (benefit) was less than $500 thousand.

As of March 31, 2026, the total remaining unamortized loss on securities transferred from AFS to HTM included in AOCI was $7.7 billion net of tax effect ($10.1 billion pre-tax). This loss is being amortized over the remaining lives of the securities, offsetting amortization of the securities’ premiums or discounts, and resulting in no impact to net income.

18. Regulatory Requirements

At March 31, 2026, CSC and its banking subsidiaries met all of their respective capital requirements. Regulatory capital and ratios for CSC (consolidated) and CSB are as follows:

(1) Under risk-based capital rules, CSC and CSB are also required to maintain additional capital buffers above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, CSC was subject to a stress capital buffer of 2.5% and CSB was required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. CSC and CSB are also required to maintain a countercyclical capital buffer above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios, which was zero for both periods presented. If a buffer falls below the minimum requirement, CSC and CSB would be subject to increasingly strict limits on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the minimum capital ratio requirements for both CSC and CSB, inclusive of their respective buffers, were 7.0%, 8.5%, and 10.5% for Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital, respectively.

N/A Not applicable.

Based on its regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, CSB is considered well capitalized (the highest category) under its respective regulatory capital rules. There are no conditions or events since March 31, 2026 that management believes have changed CSB’s capital category.

CSC’s other banking subsidiaries are CSPB and Charles Schwab Trust Bank (Trust Bank). CSPB is a Texas-chartered state savings bank that provides banking and custody services, and Trust Bank is a Nevada state-chartered savings bank that provides trust and custody services. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the balance sheets of CSPB and Trust Bank consisted primarily of investment securities. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, CSPB held total assets of $27.4 billion and $27.0 billion, respectively, and Trust Bank held total assets of $10.4 billion for both periods. Based on their regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, CSPB and Trust Bank are considered well capitalized under their respective regulatory capital rules.

As a securities broker-dealer, CS&Co is subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule. Net capital and net capital requirements for CS&Co are as follows:

Pursuant to the SEC’s Customer Protection Rule and other applicable regulations, Schwab had cash and investments segregated for the exclusive benefit of clients at March 31, 2026. The SEC’s Customer Protection Rule requires broker-dealers to segregate client fully-paid securities and cash balances not collateralizing margin positions and not swept to money market funds or bank deposit accounts. Amounts included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes represent actual balances on deposit. Cash and cash equivalents included in cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes are presented as part of Schwab’s cash balances in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

19. Segment Information

Schwab’s two reportable segments are Investor Services and Advisor Services. Schwab structures the operating segments according to its clients and the services provided to those clients. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage, investment advisory, and banking and trust services to individual investors, retirement plan and business services, as well as other corporate brokerage services, to businesses and their employees. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, banking and trust, and support services to independent RIAs, independent retirement advisors, and recordkeepers. Revenues and expenses are attributed to the two segments based on which segment services the client. Schwab’s chief operating decision makers (CODMs) are the President and Chief Executive Officer, and the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Item 8 – Note 2 in the 2025 Form 10-K. For the computation of its segment information, Schwab utilizes an activity-based costing model to allocate traditional income statement line item expenses (e.g., compensation and benefits, depreciation and amortization, and professional services) to the business activities driving segment expenses (e.g., client service, opening new accounts, or business development) and a funds transfer pricing methodology to allocate certain revenues.

The CODMs evaluate the performance of the segments on a pre-tax basis and use income before taxes on income to allocate resources, including employees and capital, to the segments during the annual budgeting process. The CODMs consider budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating resources to the segments throughout the year. Segment assets and liabilities are not used for evaluating segment performance or in deciding how to allocate resources to segments. There are no revenues from transactions between the segments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC) is a savings and loan holding company. CSC engages, through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Schwab or the Company), in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services.

Principal business subsidiaries of CSC include the following:

• Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (CS&Co), incorporated in 1971, a securities broker-dealer;
• Charles Schwab Bank, SSB (CSB), our principal banking entity; and
• Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab’s proprietary mutual funds (Schwab Funds®) and for Schwab’s exchange-traded funds (Schwab ETFs).

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Schwab,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean CSC together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Schwab provides financial services to individuals and institutional clients through two segments – Investor Services and Advisor Services. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage, investment advisory, and banking and trust services to individual investors, and retirement plan and business services, as well as other corporate brokerage services, to businesses and their employees. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, banking and trust, and support services to independent registered investment advisors (RIAs), independent retirement advisors, and recordkeepers.

Schwab was founded on the belief that all Americans deserve access to a better investing experience. Although much has changed in the intervening years, our purpose remains clear – to champion every client’s goals with passion and integrity. Guided by this purpose and our vision of creating the most trusted leader in investment services, management has adopted a strategy described as “Through Clients’ Eyes.”

This strategy emphasizes placing clients’ perspectives, needs, and desires at the forefront. Because investing plays a fundamental role in building financial security, we strive to deliver a better investing experience for our clients – individual investors and the people and institutions who serve them – by disrupting longstanding industry practices on their behalf and providing superior service. We also aim to offer a broad range of products and solutions to meet client needs with a focus on transparency, value, and trust. In addition, management works to couple Schwab’s scale and resources with ongoing expense discipline to keep costs low and ensure that products and solutions are affordable as well as responsive to client needs. In combination, these are the key elements of our “no trade-offs” approach to serving investors. We believe that following this strategy is the best way to maximize our market valuation and stockholder returns over time.

Management estimates that investable wealth in the United States (U.S.) (consisting of assets in defined contribution, retail wealth management and brokerage, and registered investment advisor channels, along with bank deposits) currently exceeds $85 trillion, which means the Company’s $11.77 trillion in client assets leaves substantial opportunity for growth. Our strategy is based on the principle that developing trusted relationships will translate into more assets from both new and existing clients, ultimately driving more revenue, and along with expense discipline and thoughtful capital management, will generate earnings growth and build long-term stockholder value.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (2025 Form 10-K).

On our website, https://www.aboutschwab.com, we post the following filings after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC or Commission): annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

OVERVIEW

Management focuses on several client activity and financial metrics in evaluating Schwab’s financial position and operating performance. Results for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

(1) The first quarter of 2026 and 2025 include net outflows of $0.1 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, from off-platform brokered certificates of deposit (CDs) issued by CSB.

(2) See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results.

In the first quarter of 2026, Schwab supported our clients through market volatility and heightened uncertainty. Equity markets retreated in March, giving up early-quarter gains, as the Standard and Poor’s® 500 Index and NASDAQ Composite® finished the first quarter of 2026 down 5% and 7%, respectively. Amid inflationary pressures and geopolitical uncertainty, the Federal Reserve kept the target federal funds overnight rate unchanged in the first quarter.

Strong client asset gathering partially offset equity market declines, as total client assets ended the first quarter of the year at $11.77 trillion, down 1% from year-end 2025. Core net new assets rose 2% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2026 to $140.0 billion, which included a $17.5 billion outflow from a planned mutual fund clearing client deconversion. Clients opened 1.3 million new brokerage accounts in the first quarter of 2026, up 10% from the prior-year first quarter, and active brokerage accounts were 39.1 million at March 31, 2026, up 6% year-over-year. Clients were highly engaged in the markets to begin the year, as clients’ daily average trades (DATs) rose significantly year-over-year to 9.9 million for the first quarter of 2026.

Schwab delivered strong financial performance in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting strong asset gathering and client engagement, sustained client demand for Schwab’s lending offerings and managed investing solutions, and lower wholesale bank borrowings. Net income was $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2026, increasing 30% year-over-year. Diluted earnings per

common share (EPS) and adjusted diluted EPS (1) for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $1.37 and $1.43, respectively, both rising 38% from the first quarter of the prior year.

Total net revenues rose 16% year-over-year to $6.5 billion in the first quarter of 2026. Net interest revenue totaled $3.1 billion in the first quarter of 2026, rising 16% from the prior-year’s first quarter, which reflected growth in margin and bank lending as well as lower aggregate wholesale borrowings, partially offset by lower yields on floating-rate assets. Asset management and administration fees were $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 15% year-over-year, due primarily to higher average client asset balances, reflecting asset gathering, year-over-year market appreciation, and growth in managed investing solutions, money market funds, and other proprietary fund products. Trading revenue grew 20% year-over-year to $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting higher order flow revenue and commissions amid market volatility and higher trading volume. Bank deposit account fee revenue totaled $295 million in the first quarter of 2026, higher by 20% from the prior-year period, due primarily to higher net yields, partially offset by lower average bank deposit account balances (BDA balances).

Total expenses excluding interest in the first quarter of 2026 were $3.3 billion, and adjusted total expenses (1) were $3.2 billion, both higher by 5% year-over-year, reflecting strong client engagement and ongoing investments to support our key strategic initiatives including organic growth, new products, and ongoing scale and efficiency efforts. The increases were primarily attributable to higher compensation and benefits expense due to annual merit increases and growth in headcount, including financial consultants and wealth advisors to support our expanding client base, and higher professional services expense resulting from overall growth in the business, partially offset by lower industry fees within other expense.

Return on average common stockholders’ equity was 23% in the first quarter of 2026, up from 18% in the first quarter of the prior year, primarily as a result of growth in net income, which more than offset higher average common stockholders’ equity. Return on tangible common equity (1) was 40% in the first quarter of 2026, increasing from 35% in the first quarter of 2025, as growth in adjusted net income available to common stockholders (1) more than offset growth in average common stockholders’ equity. Average common stockholders’ equity increased as a result of growth in retained earnings and improved average accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), partially offset by higher treasury stock due to repurchases of common stock in 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. The improvement in average AOCI resulted from lower unrealized losses on available for sale (AFS) investment securities, driven by lower market interest rates and lower investment holdings in 2026, and from amortization of losses on securities previously transferred from AFS to held to maturity (HTM).

Schwab continued to support our clients’ evolving needs through effective balance sheet management, including supporting sustained demand for margin and bank lending. Total balance sheet assets were $493.3 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2026, increasing slightly from year-end 2025. Client demand for margin loans continued to be strong to start 2026, with margin loans ending the first quarter at $126.7 billion, up 13% from year-end 2025. This growth reflected ongoing demand for margin lending as a result of engagement in the markets and long/short strategies implemented by RIA clients, and was supported in part by wholesale funding. Bank loans totaled $60.9 billion at the end of the first quarter, rising 5% from year-end 2025 due to growth in pledged asset lines (PALs) and First Mortgages.

During the first quarter, the Company repurchased $2.4 billion in common stock, and also increased its common dividend by 19% to $.32 per share. Inclusive of both returns of capital and organic capital generation during the quarter from earnings, the Company’s consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio at March 31, 2026 was 8.9%, down from 9.3% at year-end 2025. Our consolidated adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio (1) was 6.8% at March 31, down from 7.1% at year-end 2025, and within our long-term operating objective of 6.75% to 7.00%. In addition, subsequent to quarter-end, the Company issued $1.5 billion of Series L preferred stock on April 22, 2026.

In April 2026, Schwab announced a spot crypto trading offer that will be offered to retail clients through a phased rollout. The Company plans to provide clients direct access to bitcoin and ethereum trading, combined with educational content and professional support with investment experience. Schwab’s subsidiary, Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB (CSPB), will serve as the custodian of clients’ digital assets, responsible for safekeeping and record-keeping. CSPB has engaged Paxos Trust Company, NA, a regulated blockchain infrastructure provider, to deliver sub-custody and trade execution services. Over time, CSPB plans to add additional cryptocurrencies to the platform, as well as transfer capabilities for in-kind deposits and withdrawals, allowing clients with existing digital asset investments to bring them to the Schwab platform alongside their other investments. See Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors in the 2025 10-K for additional information.

(1) Adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted total expenses, return on tangible common equity, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, and adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results.

Acquisition of Forge Global Holdings, Inc.

On March 2, 2026, Schwab completed its acquisition of Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (Forge), an operator of a leading private market platform and trading marketplace, for $636 million of cash and other consideration. Integration work is underway, and we anticipate that incorporating Forge’s private company investment capabilities will enhance our ability to meet the evolving needs of investors across our growing client base. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial condition and results of operations for Forge beginning on March 2, 2026. See also Item 1 – Note 3.

CURRENT REGULATORY AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

In March 2026, federal district courts reached final resolutions on pending litigation and formally vacated the U.S. Department of Labor’s April 2024 final rule to broaden the definition of “fiduciary” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Following the courts’ ruling, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration removed the rule from the Code of Federal Regulations.

In March 2026, the U.S. federal banking agencies issued a notice of proposed rulemaking regarding amendments to the regulatory capital rules. The March 2026 proposal would replace the banking agencies’ 2023 proposal, and, among other things would require us to include AOCI in regulatory capital under a revised standardized approach, subject to a five-year phase-in period. The comment period for the proposed rules ends on June 18, 2026. The Company’s capital management for consolidated CSC and our banking subsidiaries incorporates measures that are inclusive of AOCI, and we do not anticipate that the proposed rules will have a material impact to the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Refer to Part II – Item 7 – Current Regulatory and Other Developments in our 2025 Form 10-K for information regarding pending regulatory matters, including the U.S. federal banking agencies’ August 2023 proposed rulemaking on long-term debt requirements for certain large banking organizations.

Total Net Revenues

The following tables present a comparison of revenue by category:

(1) Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, alternative investments revenue was moved from other asset management and administration fees to mutual funds, ETFs, CTFs, and alternatives. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect this change.

Net Interest Revenue

Revenue on interest-earning assets is affected by various factors, such as the composition of assets, prevailing interest rates and spreads at the time of origination or purchase, changes in interest rates on cash and cash equivalents, floating-rate securities and loans, and changes in prepayment levels for mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities and loans. Schwab establishes the rates paid on client-related liabilities, and management expects that it will generally adjust the rates paid on these liabilities at some fraction of any movement in short-term rates. Interest expense on long-term debt, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings, other short-term borrowings, and other funding sources is impacted by market interest rates at the time of borrowing and changes in interest rates on floating-rate liabilities. Schwab’s use and the financial impacts of the Company’s various funding sources are dependent on a number of market and client activity factors. Net interest revenue reflects the impacts of derivatives used to manage interest rate risk. See also Risk Management – Market Risk and Item 1 – Note 12 for additional information. See also Risk Management – Liquidity Risk, Item 1 – Notes 9, 10 and 13, and Part II – Item 7 – Results of Operations – Net Interest Revenue in the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on the Company’s funding sources.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Federal Reserve maintained the upper bound of the target overnight rate at 3.75%. In 2025, the Federal Reserve maintained the upper bound of the target overnight rate at 4.50% before reducing the rate by 25 basis points in the third quarter and an additional 50 basis points across two cuts in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Schwab’s average interest-earning assets increased 2% in the first quarter of 2026 from the same period in 2025, reflecting growth in margin lending, which was supported by higher payables to brokerage clients and payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations, as well as increases in bank lending and cash and investments segregated, partially offset by lower balances of AFS and HTM securities. Client demand for margin and bank lending remained strong in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting client engagement and growth in long/short strategies implemented by RIA clients. Margin loan balances ended the first quarter at $126.7 billion, increasing 52% from March 31, 2025, including $21.3 billion related to long/short strategies implemented by RIA clients. Total bank loans finished the first quarter of 2026 at $60.9 billion, higher by 29% from March 31, 2025, due primarily to growth in PALs and First Mortgages.

Client cash activity during the first quarter of 2026 reflected seasonality, organic growth from asset gathering, and client asset allocation decisions against a backdrop of increased market volatility. Bank sweep deposits and payables to brokerage clients increased by a total of $42.1 billion, or 14%, from March 31, 2025 to the end of the first quarter of 2026.

The following table presents net interest revenue information corresponding to interest-earning assets and funding sources on the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

(1) Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, average balances of client margin loans and short credits related to certain client long/short strategies from which the Company earns a fixed net yield are excluded from interest-earning assets and funding sources. Prior period amounts and average yields have been reclassified and recalculated to reflect this change. Average margin loans related to these client strategies totaled $14.1 billion and $235 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Average short credits related to these client strategies totaled $14.4 billion and $237 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Interest revenue and expense related to these client strategies are presented in other interest revenue and other interest expense, respectively.

(2) Amounts have been calculated based on amortized cost. Interest revenue on investment securities is presented net of related premium amortization.

• ​

Net interest revenue increased $438 million, or 16%, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to growth in margin and bank lending, lower aggregate balances of wholesale funding, and lower average rates paid on funding sources, partially offset by lower yields on floating-rate assets due to lower market rates and a decrease in AFS and HTM securities.

Net interest margin increased to 2.88% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 2.53% during the same period in 2025, as reduced aggregate use of wholesale funding and lower rates paid on funding sources more than offset lower yields on floating-rate assets due to lower market interest rates.

Asset Management and Administration Fees

The following table presents asset management and administration fees, average client assets, and average fee yields:

(1) Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, alternative investments and related revenue were moved from other balance-based fees to other third-party mutual funds, ETFs, and alternatives. Prior period amounts and average fees have been reclassified and recalculated to reflect this change.

(2) Average client assets for managed investing solutions may also include the asset balances contained in the mutual fund and/or ETF categories listed above.

(3) Includes various asset-related fees, such as trust fees, 401(k) recordkeeping fees, and mutual fund clearing fees and other service fees.

(4) Includes miscellaneous service and transaction fees relating to mutual funds and ETFs that are not balance-based.

Asset management and administration fees increased by $229 million, or 15%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily a result of continued growth in fee-based managed investing solutions and Schwab money market funds, as well as growth in Mutual Fund OneSource®, and Schwab equity and bond funds, ETFs, and CTFs. This growth was driven primarily by higher client asset balances, reflecting year-over-year equity market appreciation, the Company’s asset gathering, and net flows into managed investing solutions, which more than offset equity market declines experienced in the first quarter of 2026.

The following table presents a roll forward of client assets for the Schwab money market funds, Schwab equity and bond funds, ETFs, and CTFs, and Mutual Fund OneSource and other NTF funds. These funds generated 50% of the asset management and administration fees earned in both the first quarter of 2026 and 2025:

Trading Revenue

The following tables present trading revenue, client trading activity, and related information:

(1) Revenue per trade is calculated as trading revenue divided by the product of DATs and the number of trading days.

Trading revenue increased $181 million, or 20%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, driven by an increase in order flow revenue, which resulted from market volatility and higher client options trading volume, as well as changes in the mix of equity securities trading. Commissions revenue increased primarily due to higher client trading volume.

Bank Deposit Account Fees

The Company earns bank deposit account fee revenue from TD Bank USA, National Association and TD Bank, National Association (together, the TD Depository Institutions), in accordance with the Second Amended and Restated Insured Deposit Account Agreement (2023 IDA agreement). Bank deposit account fee revenue is presented net of interest paid to clients, and other applicable fees, and is affected by changes in interest rates and the composition of balances designated as fixed- and floating-rate obligation amounts.

Bank deposit account fees increased $50 million, or 20%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in average net yield and a decrease in the amount paid to clients as a result of lower interest rates. This was partially offset by lower average BDA balances, which reduced the base on which bank deposit account fees are

earned. The decrease in average BDA balances in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to the transfer of $1.1 billion of BDA balances to Schwab’s balance sheet during the first three months of 2026 and $6.7 billion of BDA balances transferred in the prior year after September 10, 2025, as well as client cash allocation decisions. Transfers of BDA balances to Schwab’s balance sheet result in lower balances upon which bank deposit account fee revenue is earned but provide a source of funding to invest in interest-earning assets or reduce reliance on borrowings to increase net interest revenue.

Average net yield increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due to an increase in the average net yield on fixed-rate BDA balances, which was partially offset by decreases in the average amount of fixed-rate and floating-rate BDA balances and in the net yield on floating-rate BDA balances. The percentages of BDA balances designated as fixed-rate and floating-rate obligation amounts as of March 31, 2026 were 81% and 19%, respectively.

Other Revenue

Other revenue includes industry fees, certain service fees, other gains and losses, and the provision for credit losses on bank loans.

Other revenue decreased $15 million, or 7%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower industry fees. This decrease was partially offset by higher other service fees and gains recognized on certain equity investments in the first quarter of 2026, and by losses recognized in the first quarter of 2025 on sales of AFS securities. Industry fees decreased primarily due to lower SEC fee rates in effect during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

At the end of February 2026, the SEC announced that effective April 4, 2026, it would increase the fee rate applicable to most securities transactions from zero, which has been in effect since May 14, 2025. This change will result in higher industry fees in other revenue and a corresponding increase in other expense after the effective date, resulting in no impact to net income.

Total Expenses Excluding Interest

The following table presents a comparison of expenses excluding interest:

Expenses excluding interest increased $150 million, or 5%, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Adjusted total expenses, which excludes acquisition and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets, increased $137 million, or 5%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results. The Company’s first quarter 2026 results include expenses related to Forge subsequent to our March 2, 2026 acquisition (see also Item 1 – Note 3). Acquisition and integration-related costs related to Forge in the first quarter of 2026 totaled $11 million; there were no acquisition and integration-related costs in the first quarter of 2025.

Total compensation and benefits expense increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to annual merit increases and growth in headcount, higher incentive compensation, and higher other employee-related costs.

Professional services expense increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting overall growth of the business and increased utilization of other professional services. Professional services included acquisition and integration-related costs of $11 million in the first quarter of 2026.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher software subscription costs related to growth of the business.

Advertising and market development expense increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher client promotional spending.

Communications expense increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher proxy-related expenses, partially offset by lower exchange quotation services expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower amortization on internally developed software.

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was largely consistent in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

Regulatory fees and assessments decreased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) deposit insurance assessments driven by lower assessment rates due to a decrease in brokered CDs.

Other expense decreased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily as a result of lower industry fees due to lower average fee rates stemming from the SEC decreasing the fee rate applicable to most securities transactions to zero effective May 14, 2025. The decrease was partially offset by certain higher costs resulting from growth of the business and increased trading volume. At the end of February 2026, the SEC announced that effective April 4, 2026, it would increase the fee rate applicable to most securities transactions from zero. This change will result in higher industry fees in other expense and a corresponding increase in other revenue after the effective date, resulting in no impact to net income.

Capital expenditures were $173 million and $156 million in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Capital expenditures increased 11% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to leasehold improvements and telecommunications and information technology equipment related to certain office expansions, and higher investment in internally developed software. This was partially offset by lower investment in purchased software.

Taxes on Income

Taxes on income were $709 million and $546 million for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 22.2% for both periods. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2026 remained consistent with the same period in 2025 primarily due to an increase in equity compensation tax deduction benefits and decreases in non-deductible FDIC deposit insurance assessments and in state tax reserves, offset by a decrease in certain tax credits.

Segment Information

Financial information for our segments is presented in the following table (1):

(1) In the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, Investor Services includes net outflows of $0.1 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, from off-platform brokered CDs issued by CSB.

Segment Net Revenues

Investor Services and Advisor Services total net revenues increased by 14% and 22%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Net interest revenue increased for both segments primarily due to growth of margin and bank lending balances, lower aggregate wholesale borrowings, and lower average rates paid on funding sources, partially offset by lower yields on interest-earning assets. Asset management and administration fees increased for both segments primarily as a result of higher balances in managed investing services for Investor Services, coupled with higher balances in Schwab equity and bond funds, ETFs, and CTFs, Mutual Fund OneSource®, and money market funds for both Investor Services and Advisor Services. Trading revenue increased for both segments primarily due to higher order flow revenue, and, for Investor Services, higher commission revenue reflecting higher trading volume. Bank deposit account fees increased for both segments primarily due to improved net yields partially offset by lower average BDA balances. Investor Services other revenue decreased due to lower industry fees, which were partially offset by higher other service fees, gains recognized from certain equity investments and losses recognized on the sale of AFS securities in the first quarter of 2025. Advisor Services other revenue increased as higher other service fees, gains from equity investments, and first quarter 2025 losses on the sale of AFS securities more than offset the impact of lower industry fees.

Segment Expenses Excluding Interest

Investor Services and Advisor Services total expenses excluding interest increased by 6% and 2%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Compensation and benefits expense increased for both segments primarily due to annual merit increases and growth in headcount, higher incentive compensation, and higher other employee-related costs. Professional services expense was largely flat for Advisor Services and increased for Investor Services due to overall growth of the business and increased utilization of other professional services. Occupancy and equipment expense increased for both segments primarily due to higher software subscription costs related to growth of the business. Communications expense increased for Advisor Services primarily due to higher proxy-related expenses, partially offset by

lower exchange quotation services expenses. Regulatory fees and assessments decreased for both segments, primarily due to lower FDIC assessments driven by lower assessment rates.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Schwab’s business activities expose it to a variety of risks, including operational, compliance, credit, market, and liquidity risks. The Company has a comprehensive risk management program to identify and manage these risks and their associated potential for financial and reputational impact.

For a discussion of our risk management programs, see Part II – Item 7 – Risk Management in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Market Risk

Market risk is the potential for changes in earnings or the value of financial instruments held by Schwab as a result of fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, or market conditions. Schwab is exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates within our interest-earning assets relative to changes in the costs of funding sources that finance these assets.

To manage interest rate risk, we have established policies and procedures, which include setting limits on net interest revenue risk and EVE risk. To remain within these limits, we manage the maturity, repricing, and cash flow characteristics of the investment portfolios. Management monitors established guidelines to stay within the Company’s risk appetite. The Company utilizes interest rate swap derivative instruments to assist with managing interest rate risk, the effects of which are incorporated into the Company’s net interest revenue and EVE analyses. For further information on our interest rate risk management strategies utilizing interest rate swaps, see Item 1 – Note 12.

Our measurement of interest rate risk involves assumptions that are inherently uncertain and, as a result, cannot precisely estimate the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest revenue, bank deposit account fees, or EVE. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to balance growth or decline and the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies, including changes in asset and liability mix. Financial instruments are also subject to the risk that valuations will be negatively affected by changes in demand and the underlying market for a financial instrument.

We are indirectly exposed to option, futures, and equity market fluctuations in connection with client option and futures accounts, securities collateralizing margin loans to brokerage customers, and client securities used in securities lending and similar activities. Equity market valuations may also affect the level of brokerage client trading activity, margin borrowing, and overall client engagement with Schwab. Additionally, we earn mutual fund and ETF service fees and asset management fees based upon daily balances of certain client assets. Fluctuations in these client asset balances caused by changes in equity valuations directly impact the amount of fee revenue we earn. Our market risk related to financial instruments held for trading is not material.

Net Interest Revenue Simulation

For our net interest revenue sensitivity analysis, we use net interest revenue simulation modeling techniques to evaluate and manage the effect of changing interest rates. The simulations include all balance sheet interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, and include derivative instruments. Key assumptions include the projection of interest rate scenarios with rate floors, rates and balances of non-maturity client cash held on the balance sheet, prepayment speeds of mortgage-related investments, repricing of financial instruments, and reinvestment of matured or paid-down securities and loans. We use both proprietary and independent third-party models to simulate net interest revenue sensitivity and related analyses. Fixed income analytical vendors provide term structure models, prepayment speed models for mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans, and cash flow projections based on interest income, contractual maturities, and prepayments. The Company’s net interest revenue sensitivity analyses utilize gradual parallel increases/decreases in interest rates over a twelve month period, though we also regularly simulate the effects of non-parallel shifts and instantaneous shifts of interest rates on net interest revenue.

Net interest revenue is affected by various factors, such as the distribution and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the spread between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which may reprice at different times or by different amounts, and the spread between short- and long-term interest rates. Interest-earning assets include investment securities, margin loans, bank loans, cash and investments segregated, and cash and cash equivalents. These assets are sensitive to changes in interest rates and changes in prepayment levels that tend to

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

increase in a declining rate environment and decrease in a rising rate environment. Because we establish the rates paid on certain brokerage client cash balances and bank deposits and the rates charged on certain margin and bank loans, and control the composition of our investment securities, we are able to take certain actions to manage our net interest spread, depending on competitive factors and market conditions. When liquidity needs exceed our primary sources of funding, the Company will utilize higher-cost funding sources, which can reduce net interest margin and net interest revenue.

Higher prevailing short-term interest rates generally improve yields on shorter duration interest-earning assets. During periods of rapidly rising interest rates, clients tend to reallocate cash out of sweep products into higher-yielding, off-balance sheet, fixed income investments and money market funds within Schwab’s product offerings. This can result in lower interest-earning assets and/or may require increased use of higher-cost funding sources, which therefore tend to constrain net interest revenue when interest rates are moving rapidly higher. A decline in short-term interest rates could negatively impact the yield on the Company’s investment and loan portfolios to a greater degree than any offsetting reduction in interest expense from funding sources, compressing net interest margin.

Net interest revenue sensitivity analyses assume both statically and dynamically-sized balance sheet composition. Statically-sized balance sheet modeling assumes the asset and liability structure of the consolidated balance sheet would not be changed as a result of the simulated changes in interest rates. While this approach is useful to isolate the impact of changes in interest rates on a statically-sized asset and liability structure, it does not capture changes to client cash allocations. We therefore also conduct dynamically-sized balance sheet compositions as a function of interest rates. Dynamic net interest revenue simulations assume runoff of bank deposit and payables to brokerage client balances is supplemented with wholesale borrowing when needed to fund assets through the simulation horizon. We also conduct similar simulations on EVE to capture the impact of client cash allocation changes on our balance sheet. As we actively manage the consolidated balance sheet and interest rate exposure, we have taken and would typically seek to take steps to manage additional interest rate exposure that could result from changes in the interest rate environment.

The following table assumes a statically-sized balance sheet with simulated changes to net interest revenue over the next twelve months beginning March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 of a gradual increase or decrease in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates at the end of each reporting period:

The Company’s simulated incremental increases and decreases in market interest rates had an overall smaller impact on net interest revenue as of March 31, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025. These changes were primarily due to the use of cash flow hedges related to margin loans beginning in the first quarter of 2026.

Effective Duration

Effective duration measures price sensitivity relative to a change in prevailing interest rates, taking account of amortizing cash flows and prepayment optionality for mortgage-related securities and loans. Duration is measured in years and commonly interpreted as the average timing of principal and interest cash flows. We seek to manage the Company’s asset duration in relation to management’s estimate of the Company’s liability duration. The Company’s liability duration is impacted by the composition of funding sources and typically decreases in periods of rising market interest rates and increases in periods of declining market interest rates. The Company also utilizes derivative hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps in managing its asset and liability duration.

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

The following table presents the Company’s estimated effective durations, which reflect anticipated future payments, by category:

(1) The duration of margin loans exclusive of derivatives was less than 0.1 years at both March 31, 2026 and 2025.

(2) The duration of PALs was less than 0.1 years at March 31, 2025.

(3) See Item 1 – Note 12 for additional discussion of the Company’s derivatives.

AFS and HTM securities comprised approximately 39% and 47% of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The estimated effective duration of the remaining balance sheet assets, excluding the effect of hedging, in aggregate was less than one year as of both March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Economic Value of Equity Simulation

Management also uses EVE simulations to measure interest rate risk. EVE sensitivity measures the long-term impact of interest rate changes on the net present value of assets and liabilities, and includes the impact of derivative instruments. While EVE does not have a direct accounting relationship, the measure aims to capture a theoretical value of assets and liabilities under a variety of interest rate environments. EVE sensitivity is calculated by subjecting the balance sheet to hypothetical instantaneous shifts in the level of interest rates. This analysis is highly dependent upon asset and liability assumptions based on historical and certain expected behaviors. Key assumptions in our EVE calculation include projection of interest rate scenarios with rate floors, prepayment speeds of mortgage-related investments, term structure models of interest rates, behavior of non-maturity client cash held on the balance sheet, and pricing assumptions. We use both proprietary and independent third-party models to simulate EVE sensitivity and related analyses. We develop and maintain client credits and deposits run-off models internally based on historical experience and prevailing client cash realignment behaviors. We rely on third-party models for interest rate term structure modeling, prepayment speed modeling for mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans, and cash flow projections based on interest income, and contractual maturities.

Schwab’s EVE profile is characterized by a more stable asset duration relative to liabilities in both higher and lower interest rate environments. Currently, the EVE exposure to rates increasing or decreasing in a similar magnitude produces similar equity valuation changes, as margin loan hedging activities in the first quarter of 2026 have reduced exposure to decreasing rates.

Bank Deposit Account Fees Simulation

Consistent with the presentation on the consolidated statement of income, the sensitivity of bank deposit account fee revenue to interest rate changes is assessed separately from the net interest revenue simulation described above. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, simulated changes in bank deposit account fee revenue from gradual changes in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates, under the interest rate scenarios described above for net interest revenue, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s total net revenues. Our net interest revenue, EVE, and bank deposit account fee revenue simulations reflect the assumption of non-negative investment yields.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the potential that Schwab will be unable to meet cash flow obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses.

Due to its role as a source of financial strength, CSC’s liquidity needs are primarily driven by: the liquidity and capital needs of CS&Co, our principal broker-dealer subsidiary; the capital needs of the banking subsidiaries; principal and interest due on corporate debt; and dividend payments on CSC’s preferred and common stock. The liquidity needs of our broker-dealer subsidiary are primarily driven by client activity, including trading and margin lending activities, and capital expenditures. The capital needs of the banking subsidiaries are primarily driven by client deposit levels and other borrowings. We have established liquidity policies to support the successful execution of business strategies, while ensuring ongoing and sufficient liquidity to meet operational needs and satisfy applicable regulatory requirements under both normal and stressed conditions. We seek to maintain client confidence in the balance sheet and the safety of client assets by maintaining liquidity and diversity of funding sources to allow the Company to meet its obligations. To this end, we have established limits and contingency funding plans to support liquidity levels during both business as usual and stressed conditions.

We employ a variety of metrics to monitor and manage liquidity. We conduct regular liquidity stress testing to develop a view of liquidity risk exposures and to ensure our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity during market-related or company-specific liquidity stress events. Liquidity sources are also tested periodically and results are reported to the Financial Risk Oversight Committee. A number of early warning indicators are monitored to help identify emerging liquidity stresses in the market or within the organization and are reviewed with management periodically.

Funding Sources

Schwab’s primary source of funds is cash generated by client activity which includes bank deposits and cash balances in client brokerage accounts. These funds are used to purchase investment securities and extend loans to clients. Other sources of funds may include cash flows from operations, maturities and sales of investment securities, repayments on loans, securities lending of assets held in client brokerage accounts, FHLB borrowings, borrowings under repurchase agreements with external financial institutions and the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC), issuance of CDs, cash provided by securities issuances by CSC in the capital markets, and other facilities described below.

To meet daily funding needs, we maintain liquidity in the form of overnight cash deposits and short-term investments. For unanticipated liquidity needs, we also maintain a buffer of highly liquid investments, including U.S. Treasury securities. Our clients’ bank deposits and brokerage cash balances primarily originate from our 39.1 million active brokerage accounts. More than 80% of our bank deposits qualified for FDIC insurance as of March 31, 2026. Our clients’ allocation of cash held on our balance sheet as bank deposits or payables to brokerage clients is sensitive to interest rate levels, with clients typically increasing their utilization of investment cash solutions, such as purchased money market funds and certain fixed income products when those yields are higher than those of cash sweep features.

As a participant in the financial services industry, Schwab relies on access to external financing in the normal course of business. Schwab’s use of external debt facilities may arise from timing differences between cash flow requirements, such as client cash outflows, cash flows from operations, payments on interest-earning assets, movements of cash to meet regulatory brokerage client cash segregation requirements, and general corporate purposes. Rollover risk is the risk that we will not be able to refinance or payoff borrowings as they mature. We maintain policies and procedures necessary to access funding and test borrowing procedures on a periodic basis. We manage rollover risk on borrowings, taking into account expected principal paydowns on our investment and loan portfolios along with expected deposit flows.

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

The following table describes certain external debt facilities available at March 31, 2026:

(1) Amounts shown as available from the FHLB and Federal Reserve facilities represent remaining capacity based on assets pledged as of March 31, 2026. Incremental borrowing capacity may be made available by pledging additional assets, subject to applicable facility terms. See below and Item 1 – Note 10 for additional information.

(2) Secured borrowing capacity is made available based on our borrower’s ability to provide collateral deemed acceptable by each respective counterparty. See below and Item 1 – Note 13 for additional information.

(3) Repurchase agreements outstanding as of March 31, 2026 at CS&Co maintain continuous contractual maturities of 35-60 days and are included in payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(4) Outstanding balance of unsecured commercial paper as of March 31, 2026 represents the gross par value before discount of $39 million.

(5) Secured borrowing capacity is made available based on CS&Co’s ability to provide acceptable collateral to the lenders as determined by the credit agreements.

N/A Not applicable.

Available borrowing capacity from the FHLB and Federal Reserve facilities maintained by our banking subsidiaries is dependent on the value of assets pledged and the terms of the borrowing arrangements. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had additional investment securities with a par value of approximately $149 billion, or a fair value of approximately $136 billion, available to be pledged to obtain additional capacity. Additional details regarding these facilities is described below.

Amounts available under secured credit facilities with the FHLB are dependent on the value of our First Mortgages, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), and the value of certain of our investment securities that are pledged as collateral. These credit facilities are also available as backup financing in the event the outflow of client cash from the banking subsidiaries’ respective balance sheets is greater than maturities and paydowns on investment securities and bank loans. CSC’s banking subsidiaries must each maintain positive tangible capital, as defined by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, in order to place new draws upon these credit facilities, and the Company manages capital with consideration of minimum tangible capital ratios at our banking subsidiaries. Tangible capital pursuant to the requirements of the FHLB borrowing facilities for our banking subsidiaries is common equity less goodwill and intangible assets.

Our banking subsidiaries also have access to short-term secured funding through the Federal Reserve discount window and are counterparties to the Standing Repo with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Amounts available under the Federal Reserve discount window are dependent on the value of certain investment securities that are pledged as collateral. Our banking subsidiaries may also engage with external financial institutions and the FICC in repurchase agreements and resale agreements collateralized by investment securities as another source of short-term liquidity and to monetize certain balance sheet assets. CSC maintains standing bilateral repurchase agreements with external banks.

CSC’s ratings for Commercial Paper Notes were P1 by Moody’s, A2 by Standard & Poor’s, and F1 by Fitch at March 31, 2026. CSC has a universal automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC, which enables it to issue debt, equity, and other securities.

CS&Co has a variety of external debt facilities available. CS&Co maintains unsecured uncommitted bank credit lines with a group of banks as a source of short-term liquidity, which can also be accessed by CSC. CS&Co also maintains secured uncommitted lines of credit, under which CS&Co may borrow on a short-term basis and pledge either client margin securities or firm securities as collateral, based on the terms of the agreements. At the end of the first quarter of 2026, CS&Co received authorization from its Board of Directors to issue unsecured Commercial Paper Notes of up to $10.0 billion. CS&Co’s ratings for Commercial Paper Notes were P1 by Moody’s and A1 by Standard & Poor’s at March 31, 2026. CS&Co also engages with

external financial institutions in repurchase agreements collateralized by client margin securities as a source of liquidity. Additionally, CS&Co is able to lend eligible securities held in client brokerage accounts in exchange for cash collateral as a source of short-term liquidity. As of March 31, 2026, liabilities for securities loaned totaled $26.5 billion and are included in payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2026, $13.4 billion of securities loaned had overnight and continuous remaining contractual maturities; $13.1 billion of securities loaned had contractual maturities of 35-95 days and had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.96%. See Item 1 – Note 13 for additional information on securities lending activities.

CSB issues brokered CDs as a source of funding. As of March 31, 2026, there were $2.4 billion brokered CDs issued by CSB outstanding with maturities ranging from April 2026 to June 2026 and a weighted-average interest of 3.77%.

Cash Flow Activity

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.1 billion from year-end 2025 to $45.0 billion at March 31, 2026; cash and cash equivalents, including amounts restricted, increased $3.6 billion from year-end 2025 to $73.3 billion at March 31, 2026. Net cash inflows from operations were $7.3 billion, reflecting growth in payables to brokerage clients and payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations. Cash flows from investing activities were largely offsetting, as outflows of $3.0 billion from strong growth in bank loans and $853 million of net outflows related to our acquisition of Forge and other investing activities were largely offset by net inflows of $3.9 billion from our AFS and HTM securities. Net financing outflows were $3.7 billion, primarily driven by a net decrease of $2.7 billion in bank deposits, outflows of $3.0 billion for common stock repurchases and dividends paid, and repayments of $1.9 billion of FHLB borrowings and $1.6 billion of long-term debt, partially offset by $5.5 billion in net proceeds from other short-term borrowings.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio

Schwab is subject to the full LCR rule, which requires the Company to hold high quality liquid assets (HQLA) in an amount equal to at least 100% of the Company’s projected net cash outflows over a prospective 30-calendar-day period of acute liquidity stress, calculated on each business day. See Part I – Item 1 – Business – Regulation in the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information. The Company was in compliance with the LCR rule at March 31, 2026, and the table below presents information about our average daily LCR:

To support growth in margin loan balances at our broker-dealer subsidiary while meeting our LCR requirements, the Company may utilize wholesale funding sources, such as issuing commercial paper, drawing on secured lines of credit, borrowing under repurchase agreements, or engaging in securities lending, in addition to capital markets issuances. In managing compliance with our LCR requirements, the broker-dealer subsidiary may also retain client cash balances rather than sweeping such balances to our banking subsidiaries.

Net Stable Funding Ratio

Schwab is subject to disclosure requirements under the NSFR rule, which requires the semi-annual public disclosure of its NSFR levels. The NSFR rule stipulates that the Company’s available stable funding (ASF) must be at least 100% of the Company’s required stable funding (RSF). ASF is calculated by assessing the stability of the Company’s funding sources and RSF is calculated by evaluating the characteristics of the Company’s assets, derivatives, and off-balance-sheet exposures. The Company was in compliance with the NSFR rule at March 31, 2026.

See also Item 1 – Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Item 1 – Note 9 for the Company’s bank deposits, Item 1 – Note 10 for the Company’s debt and borrowing facilities, Item 1 – Note 13 for the Company’s securities lending and collateralized financing activities, and Item 1 – Note 15 for the Company’s equity outstanding balances and activity.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Schwab seeks to manage capital to a level and composition sufficient to support execution of our business strategy, inclusive of balance sheet growth, financial support to our subsidiaries, sustained access to the capital markets, and regulatory capital requirements. Schwab also seeks to return excess capital to stockholders. We may return excess capital through dividends, repurchases of common shares, preferred stock redemptions, and repurchases of our preferred stock represented by depositary shares. Schwab’s primary sources of capital are funds generated by the operations of subsidiaries and securities issuances by CSC in the capital markets. To ensure that Schwab has sufficient capital to absorb unanticipated losses, balance sheet growth, or declines in asset values, we have adopted a policy to remain well capitalized even in stressed scenarios.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

CSC and certain subsidiaries, including our banking and broker-dealer subsidiaries, are subject to various capital requirements set by regulatory agencies as discussed in further detail in Part II – Item 7 – Capital Management of the 2025 Form 10-K and in Item 1 – Note 18. As of March 31, 2026, CSC and our banking subsidiaries are considered well capitalized, and CS&Co is in compliance with its net capital requirements.

As a supplemental measure of capital, the Company utilizes an adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that includes AOCI in the ratio. The primary component of AOCI for Schwab is unrealized gains and losses on our AFS investment securities portfolio and on securities transferred from AFS to the HTM category. The Company maintains a long-term operating objective for its consolidated adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 6.75% - 7.00% (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results).

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

The following table details the capital ratios for CSC (consolidated) and CSB:

(1) Changes in market interest rates can result in unrealized gains or losses on AFS securities, which are included in AOCI. As a Category III banking organization, CSC has elected to exclude most components of AOCI from regulatory capital.

The Company’s consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 8.9% at March 31, 2026, down from 9.3% at year-end 2025. This decrease reflects returns of excess capital and higher total Company assets, partially offset by organic growth from net income. CSB’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio decreased from 11.1% at year-end 2025, ending the first quarter of 2026 at 10.9%, primarily as a result of dividends to CSC, partially offset by lower total assets as well as net income during the quarter.

As of March 31, 2026, our adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of such measures to GAAP reported results) was 6.8% for CSC (consolidated), decreasing from 7.1% as of year-end 2025 as a result of returns of excess capital, partially offset by net income. CSB’s adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) was 7.5%, down slightly from 7.6% as of year-end 2025 due to dividends to CSC, largely offset by net income.

Dividends

On January 29, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a five cent, or 19%, increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $.32 per common share.

Cash dividends paid and per share amounts for the first three months of 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

(1) Dividends are paid quarterly.

(2) Dividends are paid semi-annually until December 1, 2027 and quarterly thereafter.

(3) Series G was redeemed on June 2, 2025. Prior to redemption, dividends were paid quarterly. The final dividend was paid on June 2, 2025.

Share Repurchases

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, CSC repurchased 24.3 million shares of its common stock under its $20 billion authorization for $2.4 billion. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $12.1 billion remained on the $20 billion authorization.

On February 12, 2025, TD Group US Holdings LLC, an affiliate of TD Bank, completed a secondary public offering of the Company’s common shares through which TD Group US Holdings LLC sold 133.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock and 31.7 million shares of the Company’s nonvoting common stock, which automatically converted into common stock, for an aggregate amount of $13.1 billion. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares.

Concurrent with the completion of the secondary offering, and pursuant to a repurchase agreement dated February 9, 2025, the Company repurchased directly from TD Group US Holdings LLC its remaining 19.2 million shares of nonvoting common stock at a price of $77.982 per share for an aggregate repurchase amount of $1.5 billion, which settled on February 12, 2025. The shares of nonvoting common stock automatically converted into common stock upon repurchase and transferred to treasury stock, reducing the number of shares outstanding. These shares were purchased under CSC’s previous $15 billion share repurchase authorization.

Through the completion of the secondary offering and the Company’s repurchase of nonvoting common stock, TD Bank disposed of all of its common shares of CSC and the Company has no remaining nonvoting common stock outstanding.

Common stock repurchases, net of issuances, are subject to a nondeductible 1% excise tax which is recognized as a direct and incremental cost associated with these transactions. The tax is recorded as part of the cost basis of the treasury stock repurchased, resulting in no impact to the condensed consolidated statements of income.

See Item 1 – Note 15 for additional information.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Certain of our accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity are discussed in Part II – Item 7 – Critical Accounting Estimates in the 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no changes to critical accounting estimates during the first three months of 2026.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain references to the non-GAAP financial measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information about the financial performance of the Company, and facilitate meaningful comparison of Schwab’s results in the current period to both historic and future results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

Schwab’s use of non-GAAP measures is reflective of certain adjustments made to GAAP financial measures as described below.

Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure Definition Usefulness to Investors and Uses by Management

Acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs Schwab adjusts certain GAAP financial measures to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related costs incurred as a result of the Company’s acquisitions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, and, where applicable, the income tax effect of these expenses. Adjustments made to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets are reflective of all acquired intangible assets, which were recorded as part of purchase accounting. These acquired intangible assets contribute to the Company’s revenue generation. Amortization of acquired intangible assets will continue in future periods over their remaining useful lives. We exclude acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs for the purpose of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe doing so provides additional transparency of Schwab’s ongoing operations, and is useful in both evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating comparison of results with prior and future periods. Costs related to acquisition and integration or restructuring fluctuate based on the timing of acquisitions, integration and restructuring activities, thereby limiting comparability of results among periods, and are not representative of the costs of running the Company’s ongoing business. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of the Company’s underlying operating performance.

Return on tangible common equity Return on tangible common equity represents annualized adjusted net income available to common stockholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill, acquired intangible assets — net, and related deferred tax liabilities. Acquisitions typically result in the recognition of significant amounts of goodwill and acquired intangible assets. We believe return on tangible common equity may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure to facilitate assessing capital efficiency and returns relative to the composition of Schwab’s balance sheet.

Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio represents the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio as prescribed by bank regulatory guidance for the consolidated company and for CSB, adjusted to reflect the inclusion of AOCI in the ratio. Inclusion of the impacts of AOCI in the Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio provides additional information regarding the Company’s current capital position. We believe Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure of the Company’s capital levels.

The Company also uses adjusted diluted EPS and return on tangible common equity as components of performance criteria for employee bonus and certain executive management incentive compensation arrangements. The Compensation Committee of CSC’s Board of Directors maintains discretion in evaluating performance against these criteria. Additionally, the Company uses adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio in managing capital, including its use of the measure as its long-term operating objective.
