Goldman Sachs Reports Third Quarter Earnings Per Common Share of $5.47

 

 

 

“We continue to make significant progress executing on our strategic priorities and we’re confident that the work we’re doing now provides us a much stronger platform for 2024. I also expect a continued recovery in both capital markets and strategic activity if conditions remain conducive. As the leader in M&A advisory and equity underwriting, a resurgence in activity will undoubtedly be a tailwind for Goldman Sachs.”

  Global Banking & Markets  

 

   

 

Net revenues in Global Banking & Markets were $8.01 billion for the third quarter of 2023, 6% higher than the third quarter of 2022 and 11% higher than the second quarter of 2023.

 

Investment banking fees were $1.55 billion, essentially unchanged compared with the third quarter of 2022, due to higher net revenues in Debt underwriting, primarily driven by leveraged finance activity, and higher net revenues in Equity underwriting, primarily from initial public offerings, offset by lower net revenues in Advisory, reflecting a decline in completed mergers and acquisitions transactions. The firm’s Investment banking fees backlog3 was lower compared with both the end of the second quarter of 2023 and the end of 2022.

 

Net revenues in FICC were $3.38 billion, 6% lower than a strong third quarter of 2022, reflecting lower net revenues in FICC intermediation, driven by significantly lower net revenues in currencies and commodities and lower net revenues in credit products, partially offset by significantly higher net revenues in interest rate products and mortgages. Net revenues in FICC financing increased slightly.

 

Net revenues in Equities were $2.96 billion, 8% higher than the third quarter of 2022, due to higher net revenues in Equities financing, reflecting significantly higher net revenues in prime financing, partially offset by significantly lower net revenues from portfolio financing, and higher net revenues in Equities intermediation, primarily in derivatives.

 

Net revenues in Other were $110 million compared with $(329) million for the third quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting significantly lower net losses on hedges and the absence of net mark-downs on acquisition financing activities included in the prior year period.

Net revenues in Asset & Wealth Management were $3.23 billion for the third quarter of 2023, 20% lower than the third quarter of 2022 and 6% higher than the second quarter of 2023. The decrease compared with the third quarter of 2022 primarily reflected net losses in Equity investments, partially offset by higher Management and other fees.

 

Equity investments reflected net losses from investments in private equities, due to net losses from real estate investments and significantly lower net gains from company-specific events, and net losses from investments in public equities, both compared to net gains in the prior year period. The increase in Management and other fees primarily reflected the impact of higher average assets under supervision. Incentive fees were lower, driven by more significant harvesting in the prior year period. Private banking and lending net revenues were slightly higher as the impact of higher deposit balances and spreads was largely offset by the impact of the sale of substantially all of the Marcus loans portfolio earlier in the year. Net revenues in Debt investments were unchanged.

  Platform Solutions  

 

   

 

Net revenues in Platform Solutions were $578 million for the third quarter of 2023, 53% higher than the third quarter of 2022 and 12% lower than the second quarter of 2023. The increase compared with the third quarter of 2022 reflected significantly higher net revenues in Consumer platforms.

 

The increase in Consumer platforms net revenues primarily reflected significantly higher average credit card balances, partially offset by lower net revenues from the GreenSky loan portfolio, which included a mark-down of $123 million related to the transfer of the portfolio to held for sale (more than offset by a related reserve reduction of $637 million in provision for credit losses). Transaction banking and other net revenues were lower, reflecting lower average deposit balances.

Provision for Credit Losses

 

Provision for credit losses was $7 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared with $515 million for the third quarter of 2022 and $615 million for the second quarter of 2023. Provisions for the third quarter of 2023 reflected net provisions related to both the credit card portfolio (primarily driven by net charge-offs) and wholesale loans (driven by impairments, partially offset by a reserve reduction based on increased stability in the macroeconomic environment), offset by a net release related to the GreenSky loan portfolio (including a reserve reduction of $637 million related to the transfer of the portfolio to held for sale). Provisions for the third quarter of 2022 primarily reflected consumer portfolio growth, net charge-offs and the impact of continued broad concerns on the macroeconomic outlook.

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses were $9.05 billion for the third quarter of 2023, 18% higher than the third quarter of 2022 and 6% higher than the second quarter of 2023. The firm’s efficiency ratio3 was 74.4% for the first nine months of 2023, compared with 62.7% for the first nine months of 2022.

 

The increase in operating expenses compared with the third quarter of 2022 primarily reflected higher compensation and benefits expenses (reflecting an increase in the quarter in the year-to-date ratio of compensation and benefits to net revenues, net of provision for credit losses, and a reduction in the year-to-date ratio in the prior year period), a write-down of intangibles of $506 million related to GreenSky and impairments of $358 million related to consolidated real estate investments (both in depreciation and amortization). In addition, transaction based expenses were higher.

 

The ratio of compensation and benefits to net revenues, net of provision for credit losses, was 34.5% for the first nine months of 2023, compared with 34.0% for the first half of 2023.

 

Net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings for the third quarter of 2023 were $15 million compared with $191 million for the third quarter of 2022.

 

Headcount increased 3% compared with the end of the second quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting the timing of campus hires.

Provision for Taxes

 

 

The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2023 was 23.3%, up from 22.3% for the first half of 2023, primarily due to write-offs of deferred tax assets related to the transfer of GreenSky to held for sale and changes in the geographic mix of earnings.

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, 2022.

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

Statements about the firm’s Investment banking fees backlog and future results also may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the risk that transactions may be modified or may not be completed at all, and related net revenues may not be realized or may be materially less than expected. Important factors that could have such a result include, for underwriting transactions, a decline or weakness in general economic conditions, an outbreak or worsening of hostilities, including the escalation or continuation of the war between Russia and Ukraine, continuing volatility in the securities markets or an adverse development with respect to the issuer of the securities and, for financial advisory transactions, a decline in the securities markets, an inability to obtain adequate financing, an adverse development with respect to a party to the transaction or a failure to obtain a required regulatory approval. For information about other important factors that could adversely affect the firm’s Investment banking fees, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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:
