Third Quarter 2021 Earnings Results

 

 

Net Revenues

 

    

 

Net revenues were $13.61 billion for the third quarter of 2021, 26% higher than the third quarter of 2020 and 12% lower than the second quarter of 2021. The increase compared with the third quarter of 2020 reflected significantly higher net revenues in Investment Banking, Global Markets and Consumer & Wealth Management, partially offset by lower net revenues in Asset Management.

      

 

Net Revenues

 

   

 

$13.61 billion

 

   
   

 

 

 

 

 

  Investment Banking  

 

 

 

 

 

Net revenues in Investment Banking were $3.70 billion for the third quarter of 2021, 88% higher than the third quarter of 2020 and 3% higher than the second quarter of 2021. The increase compared with the third quarter of 2020 reflected significantly higher net revenues in Financial advisory, Underwriting and Corporate lending.

 

The increase in Financial advisory net revenues reflected an increase in completed mergers and acquisitions volumes. The increase in Underwriting net revenues was due to significantly higher net revenues in both Equity underwriting, primarily driven by private placements, convertible offerings and initial public offerings, and Debt underwriting, reflecting an increase in leveraged finance activity. The increase in Corporate lending net revenues primarily reflected net gains related to middle-market lending activities.

 

The firm’s backlog3 was lower compared with the end of the second quarter of 2021, but remained significantly higher compared with the end of 2020.

Net revenues in FICC intermediation were lower, reflecting significantly lower net revenues in interest rate products, credit products and mortgages, partially offset by significantly higher net revenues in commodities and higher net revenues in currencies.

 

Net revenues in Equities were $3.10 billion, 51% higher than the third quarter of 2020, due to significantly higher net revenues in both Equities financing, reflecting increased client activity (including higher average client balances), and Equities intermediation, reflecting significantly higher net revenues in both derivatives and cash products.

  Asset Management  

 

      

 

Net revenues in Asset Management were $2.28 billion for the third quarter of 2021,18% lower than the third quarter of 2020 and 56% lower than a strong second quarter of 2021. The decrease compared with the third quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by significantly lower net revenues in Equity investments. In addition, net revenues in Lending and debt investments were lower, while Incentive fees were higher.

 

The decrease in Equity investments net revenues reflected significant net losses from investments in public equities during the quarter compared with net gains in the third quarter of 2020, partially offset by significantly higher net gains from investments in private equities. The decrease in Lending and debt investments net revenues reflected lower net gains from investments in debt instruments. Management and other fees were essentially unchanged, primarily reflecting higher fee waivers on money market funds, offset by the impact of higher average assets under supervision. The increase in Incentive fees was due to harvesting.

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only the firm’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the firm’s control. It is possible that the firm’s actual results, financial condition and liquidity may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results, financial condition and liquidity in these forward-looking statements. For information about some of the risks and important factors that could affect the firm’s future results, financial condition and liquidity, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Information regarding the firm’s assets under supervision, capital ratios, risk-weighted assets, supplementary leverage ratio, balance sheet data, global core liquid assets and VaR consists of preliminary estimates. These estimates are forward-looking statements and are subject to change, possibly materially, as the firm completes its financial statements.

Statements about the firm’s investment banking transaction backlog also may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the risk that transactions may be modified or may not be completed at all and related net revenues may not be realized or may be materially less than expected. Important factors that could have such a result include, for underwriting transactions, a decline or weakness in general economic conditions, an outbreak of hostilities, volatility in the securities markets or an adverse development with respect to the issuer of the securities and, for financial advisory transactions, a decline in the securities markets, an inability to obtain adequate financing, an adverse development with respect to a party to the transaction or a failure to obtain a required regulatory approval. For information about other important factors that could adversely affect the firm’s investment banking transactions, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Statements regarding the firm’s announced acquisitions of NN Investment Partners and GreenSky, Inc. (“GreenSky”) are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to the risk that the transactions may not close on the anticipated timeline or at all, including due to a failure to obtain requisite regulatory approval and, in the case of GreenSky, shareholder approval, as well as the risk that the firm may be unable to realize the expected benefits of the acquisitions and the risk that integrating NN Investment Partners and GreenSky into the firm’s business may be more difficult, time-consuming or expensive than expected.

Annualized ROE is calculated by dividing annualized net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average monthly common shareholders’ equity. Annualized ROTE is calculated by dividing annualized net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average monthly tangible common shareholders’ equity (tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated as total shareholders’ equity less preferred stock, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets). Management believes that ROTE is meaningful because it measures the performance of businesses consistently, whether they were acquired or developed internally, and that tangible common shareholders’ equity is meaningful because it is a measure that the firm and investors use to assess capital adequacy. ROTE and tangible common shareholders’ equity are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of average common shareholders’ equity to average tangible common shareholders’ equity:

Represents a preliminary estimate for the third quarter of 2021 and may be revised in the firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021.

 

 

  5.

In the third quarter of 2021, based on regulatory feedback, the firm revised certain interpretations of the Capital Rules underlying the calculation of Standardized risk-weighted assets which increased risk-weighted assets by approximately $23 billion and reduced the firm’s Standardized CET1 capital ratio by 0.5 percentage points, Standardized Tier 1 capital ratio by 0.5 percentage points to 15.5%, and Standardized Total capital ratio by 0.7 percentage points to 17.7%, all as of September 30, 2021.

 

 

      

As of June 30, 2021, this change would have increased risk-weighted assets by approximately $23 billion to $644 billion, which would have reduced the firm’s Standardized CET1 capital ratio of 14.4% by 0.5 percentage points, Standardized Tier 1 capital ratio of 15.9% by 0.6 percentage points, and Standardized Total capital ratio of 18.3% by 0.7 percentage points. As of March 31, 2021, this change would have increased risk-weighted assets by approximately $22 billion to $616 billion, which would have reduced the firm’s Standardized CET1 capital ratio of 14.3% by 0.5 percentage points, Standardized Tier 1 capital ratio of 15.9% by 0.6 percentage points, and Standardized Total capital ratio of 18.4% by 0.7 percentage points.
