MORGAN STANLEY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

1.Introduction and Basis of Presentation.

The Company.    Morgan Stanley, a financial holding company, is a global financial services firm that maintains significant market positions in each of its business segments—Institutional Securities, Wealth Management and Investment Management. Morgan Stanley, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, provides a wide variety of products and services to a large and diversified group of clients and customers, including corporations, governments, financial institutions and individuals. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Morgan Stanley” or the “Company” mean Morgan Stanley (the “Parent”) together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

For a summary of the activities of each of the Company’s business segments, see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”).

Global Oil Merchanting Business.    As a result of entering into a definitive agreement to sell the global oil merchanting unit of the commodities division to Castleton Commodities International LLC, on May 11, 2015, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $59 million in Other revenues during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, to reduce the carrying amount of the unit to its estimated fair value less costs to sell. The transaction does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company expects to close the transaction during the second half of 2015 (see Note 3).

CanTerm.    On March 27, 2014, the Company completed the sale of Canterm Canadian Terminals Inc. (“CanTerm”), a public storage terminal operator for refined products with two distribution terminals in Canada. As a result of the Company’s level of continuing involvement with CanTerm, the results of CanTerm are reported as a component of continuing operations within the Company’s Institutional Securities business segment for all periods presented. The gain on sale was approximately $45 million and is included in the condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Basis of Financial Information.    The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding the valuations of certain financial instruments, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, compensation, deferred tax assets, the outcome of legal and tax matters, allowance for credit losses and other matters that affect its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company believes that the estimates utilized in the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2014 Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

Consolidation.    The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including certain variable interest entities (“VIE”) (see Note 6). For consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly owned, the third-party holdings of equity interests are referred to as noncontrolling interests. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for such subsidiaries is presented as Net income (loss) applicable to

nonredeemable noncontrolling interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. The portion of shareholders’ equity of such subsidiaries that is attributable to noncontrolling interests for such subsidiaries is presented as Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests, a component of total equity, in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

For a discussion of the Company’s VIEs and its significant regulated U.S. and international subsidiaries, see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

Income Statement Presentation.    The Company, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, provides a wide variety of products and services to a large and diversified group of clients and customers, including corporations, governments, financial institutions and individuals. In connection with the delivery of the various products and services to clients, the Company manages its revenues and related expenses in the aggregate. As such, when assessing the performance of its businesses, primarily in its Institutional Securities business segment, the Company considers its trading, investment banking, commissions and fees, and interest income, along with the associated interest expense, as one integrated activity.

 

2.Significant Accounting Policies.

For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, other than the following, there were no significant updates made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Accounting Standards Adopted.

Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.    In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an accounting update requiring repurchase-to-maturity transactions be accounted for as secured borrowings consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. This accounting update also requires separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty (a repurchase financing), which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015. In addition, new disclosures are required for sales of financial assets where the Company retains substantially all the exposure throughout the term and for the collateral pledged and remaining maturity of repurchase and securities lending agreements, which were effective January 1, 2015, and April 1, 2015, respectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. For further information on the adoption of this guidance, see Notes 5 and 6.

Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).    In May 2015, the FASB issued an accounting update that removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured at net asset value (“NAV”) per share, or its equivalent using the practical expedient. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively during the second quarter of 2015, as early adoption is permitted. For further information on the adoption of this guidance, see Note 3.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company deconsolidated approximately $191 million in net assets previously attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests that were related to a real estate fund sponsored by the Company. The deconsolidation resulted in a non-cash reduction of assets of $169 million. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company deconsolidated approximately $1.6 billion in net assets previously attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests related to certain legal entities associated with another real estate fund sponsored by the Company. The deconsolidation resulted in a non-cash reduction of assets of $1.3 billion.

3.Fair Value Disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements.

For a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Company’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

The following fair value hierarchy tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

(1)The Company holds or sells short for trading purposes equity securities issued by entities in diverse industries and of varying size.
(2)Level 3 asset derivative equity contracts increased by $57 million with a corresponding decrease in the balance of Level 2 asset derivative equity contracts, and the balance of Level 3 liability derivative equity contracts increased by $842 million with a corresponding decrease in the balance of Level 2 liability derivative equity contracts to correct the fair value level assigned to these contracts at December 31, 2014. The total amount of asset and liability derivative equity contracts remained unchanged.
(3)For positions with the same counterparty that cross over the levels of the fair value hierarchy, both counterparty netting and cash collateral netting are included in the column titled “Counterparty and Cash Collateral Netting.” For contracts with the same counterparty, counterparty netting among positions classified within the same level is included within that level. For further information on derivative instruments and hedging activities, see Note 10.
(4)Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share, or its equivalent, are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. For additional disclosure about such investments, see “Fair Value of Investments that are Measured at Net Asset Value” herein.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis.

The following tables present additional information about Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Level 3 instruments may be hedged with instruments classified in Level 1 and Level 2. As a result, the realized and unrealized gains (losses) for

assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below do not reflect the related realized and unrealized gains (losses) on hedging instruments that have been classified by the Company within the Level 1 and/or Level 2 categories.

Additionally, both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) during the period for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value during the period that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

For assets and liabilities that were transferred into Level 3 during the period, gains (losses) are presented as if the assets or liabilities had been transferred into Level 3 at the beginning of the period; similarly, for assets and liabilities that were transferred out of Level 3 during the period, gains (losses) are presented as if the assets or liabilities had been transferred out at the beginning of the period.

Quantitative Information about and Sensitivity of Significant Unobservable Inputs Used in Recurring Level 3 Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The disclosures below provide information on the valuation techniques, significant unobservable inputs, and their ranges and averages for each major category of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis with a significant Level 3 balance. The level of aggregation and breadth of products cause the range of inputs to be wide and not evenly distributed across the inventory. Further, the range of unobservable inputs may differ across firms in the financial services industry because of diversity in the types of products included in each firm’s inventory. The following disclosures also include qualitative information on the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs.

EBITDA—Earningsbefore interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(1)The ranges of significant unobservable inputs are represented in points, percentages, basis points, times or megawatt hours. Points are a percentage of par; for example, 82 points would be 82% of par. A basis point equals 1/100th of 1%; for example, 706 basis points would equal 7.06%.
(2)Amounts represent weighted averages except where simple averages and the median of the inputs are provided (see footnote 5 below). Weighted averages are calculated by weighting each input by the fair value of the respective financial instruments except for collateralized debt and loan obligations, principal investments, other debt, corporate bonds, long-term borrowings and derivative instruments where some or all inputs are weighted by risk.
(3)This is the predominant valuation technique for this major asset or liability class.
(4)Credit Valuation Adjustment (“CVA”) and Funding Valuation Adjustments (“FVA”) are included in the balance, but excluded from the Valuation Technique(s) and Significant Unobservable Input(s) in the table above. CVA is a Level 3 input when the underlying counterparty credit curve is unobservable. FVA is a Level 3 input in its entirety given the lack of observability of funding spreads in the principal market.
(5)The data structure of the significant unobservable inputs used in valuing interest rate contracts, foreign exchange contracts and certain equity contracts may be in a multi-dimensional form, such as a curve or surface, with risk distributed across the structure. Therefore, a simple average and median, together with the range of data inputs, may be more appropriate measurements than a single point weighted average.
(6)Includes derivative contracts with multiple risks (i.e., hybrid products).
(7)Net liability Level 3 derivative equity contracts increased by $785 million to correct the fair value level assigned to these contracts at December 31, 2014. This correction did not result in a change to the Valuation Technique(s), Significant Unobservable Inputs, Ranges or Averages.

Sensitivity of the fair value to changes in the unobservable inputs:

(A)Significant increase (decrease) in the unobservable input in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

 

 23 LOGO

MORGAN STANLEY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

 

(B)Significant changes in credit correlation may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Increasing (decreasing) correlation drives a redistribution of risk within the capital structure such that junior tranches become less (more) risky and senior tranches become more (less) risky.
(C)Significant increase (decrease) in the unobservable input in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
(D)There are no predictable relationships between the significant unobservable inputs.

For a description of the Company’s significant unobservable inputs included in the June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 tables above for all major categories of assets and liabilities, see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no significant updates made to the Company’s significant unobservable inputs.

Fair Value of Investments that are Measured at Net Asset Value.

The Company’s Investments measured at fair value were $5,912 million and $6,651 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. For a description of the Company’s investments in private equity funds, real estate funds and hedge funds measured at fair value based on NAV, see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K. The following tables present information solely about the Company’s investments in private equity funds, real estate funds and hedge funds measured at fair value using the NAV per share, or its equivalent, at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

(1)Fixed income/credit-related hedge funds, event-driven hedge funds and multi-strategy hedge funds are redeemable at least on a three-month period basis, primarily with a notice period of 90 days or less. At June 30, 2015, approximately 30% of the fair value amount of long-short equity hedge funds was redeemable at least quarterly, 48% is redeemable every six months and 22% of these funds have a redemption frequency of greater than six months. At December 31, 2014, approximately 36% of the fair value amount of long-short equity hedge funds was redeemable at least quarterly, 47% is redeemable every six months and 17% of these funds have a redemption frequency of greater than six months. The notice period for long-short equity hedge funds at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was primarily greater than six months.

Private Equity Funds and Real Estate Funds.    Investments in these funds generally are not redeemable due to the closed-ended nature of these funds. Instead, distributions from each fund will be received as the underlying investments of the funds are disposed and monetized. The following table presents information about the fair value of the funds estimated to be liquidated over time:

Hedge Funds.    Investments in hedge funds may be subject to initial period lock-up restrictions or gates. A hedge fund lock-up provision is a provision that provides that, during a certain initial period, an investor may not make a withdrawal from the fund. The purpose of a gate is to restrict the level of redemptions that an investor in a particular hedge fund can demand on any redemption date.

Fair Value Option.

The Company elected the fair value option for certain eligible instruments that are risk managed on a fair value basis to mitigate income statement volatility caused by measurement basis differences between the elected instruments and their associated risk management transactions or to eliminate complexities of applying certain accounting models. The following table presents net gains (losses) due to changes in fair value for items measured at fair value pursuant to the fair value option election for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

(2)Of the total gains (losses) recorded in Trading revenues for short-term and long-term borrowings for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, $87 million and $213 million, respectively, are attributable to changes in the credit quality of the Company and other credit factors, and the respective remainder is attributable to changes in foreign currency rates or interest rates or movements in the reference price or index for structured notes before the impact of related hedges.

In addition to the amounts in the above table, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K, all of the instruments within Trading assets or Trading liabilities are measured at fair value, either through the election of the fair value option or as required by other accounting guidance. The amounts in the above table are included within Net revenues and do not reflect gains or losses on related hedging instruments, if any.

The Company hedges the economics of market risk for short-term and long-term borrowings (i.e., risks other than that related to the credit quality of the Company) as part of its overall trading strategy and manages the market risks embedded within the issuance by the related business unit as part of the business unit’s portfolio. The gains and losses on related economic hedges are recorded in Trading revenues and largely offset the gains and losses on short-term and long-term borrowings attributable to market risk.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, a breakdown of the short-term and long-term borrowings measured at fair value on a recurring basis by business unit responsible for risk-managing each borrowing is shown in the table below:

(2)Loans and other debt instrument-specific credit gains (losses) were determined by excluding the non-credit components of gains and losses, such as those due to changes in interest rates.
(3)Gains (losses) on unfunded lending commitments were generally determined based on the differential between estimated expected client yields and contractual yields at each respective period-end.

(1)Short-term and long-term borrowings do not include structured notes where the repayment of the initial principal amount fluctuates based on changes in the reference price or index.
(2)The majority of the difference between principal and fair value amounts for loans and other debt emanates from the Company’s distressed debt trading business, which purchases distressed debt at amounts well below par.
(3)The aggregate fair value of loans that were in nonaccrual status, which includes all loans 90 or more days past due, was $1,562 million and $1,367 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The aggregate fair value of loans that were 90 or more days past due was $836 million and $643 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The tables above exclude non-recourse debt from consolidated VIEs, liabilities related to failed sales of financial assets, pledged commodities and other liabilities that have specified assets attributable to them.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis.

Certain assets and liabilities were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are not included in the tables above. These assets and liabilities may include loans, other investments, premises, equipment and software costs, intangible assets and unfunded lending commitments.

The following tables present, by caption on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, the fair value hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for which the Company recognized a non-recurring fair value adjustment for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

(1)Carrying values relate only to those assets that had fair value adjustments during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. These amounts do not include assets that had fair value adjustments during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, unless the assets also had a fair value adjustment during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
(2)Changes in the fair value of Loans and losses related to Other investments are recorded within Other revenues in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Losses related to Premises, equipment and software costs, Intangible assets and Other assets are recorded within Other expenses if not held for sale and within Other revenues if held for sale. Losses related to Other liabilities and accrued expenses are recorded within Other revenues related to a non-recurring fair value adjustment for certain unfunded lending commitments designated as held for sale.
(3)Non-recurring changes in the fair value of loans and unfunded lending commitments held for investment or held for sale were calculated using recently executed transactions; market price quotations; valuation models that incorporate market observable inputs where possible, such as comparable loan or debt prices and credit default swap spread levels adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments; or default recovery analysis where such transactions and quotations are unobservable.
(4)Losses related to Other investments and Intangible assets were determined primarily using discounted cash flow models and methodologies that incorporate multiples of certain comparable companies.
(5)Losses related to Premises, equipment and software costs and Other assets were determined primarily using a default recovery analysis.

In addition to the table above, as a result of entering into an agreement to sell the global oil merchanting unit of the commodities division, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $59 million in Other revenues in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, to reduce the carrying amount of the unit to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

There were no significant liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value.

The tables below present the carrying value, fair value and fair value hierarchy category of certain financial instruments that are not measured at fair value in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

The fair value of the Company’s unfunded lending commitments, primarily related to corporate lending in the Company’s Institutional Securities business segment, that are not carried at fair value at June 30, 2015 was $1,245 million, of which $1,031 million and $214 million would have been categorized in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, respectively. The carrying value of these commitments, if fully funded, would have been $94.1 billion.

The fair value of the Company’s unfunded lending commitments, primarily related to corporate lending in the Company’s Institutional Securities business segment, that are not carried at fair value at December 31, 2014 was $1,178 million, of which $928 million and $250 million would have been categorized in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, respectively. The carrying value of these commitments, if fully funded, would have been $86.8 billion.

MORGAN STANLEY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K, AFS and HTM securities with a current fair value less than their amortized cost are analyzed as part of the Company’s ongoing assessment of temporary versus other-than-temporarily impaired at the individual security level. The net unrealized losses on AFS debt securities reported in the table above are primarily due to higher interest rates since those securities were purchased. The risk of credit loss on securities in an unrealized loss position is considered minimal because all of the Company’s agency securities as well as the Company’s asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) are highly rated and because the Company’s corporate bonds are all investment grade. The Company does not intend to sell and is not likely to be required to sell its AFS debt securities prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company does not expect to experience a credit loss on its AFS debt securities or HTM securities based on consideration of the relevant information (as discussed in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K), including for U.S. government and agency securities, the existence of an explicit and implicit guarantee provided by the U.S. government. The Company believes that its AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position were not other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

For AFS equity securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company does not intend to sell these securities or expect to be required to sell these securities prior to the recovery of the cost basis and the Company believes that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

5.Collateralized Transactions.

The Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions to, among other things, acquire securities to cover short positions and settle other securities obligations, to accommodate customers’ needs and to finance the Company’s inventory positions.

The Company manages credit exposure arising from such transactions by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral agreements with counterparties that provide the Company, in the event of a counterparty default (such as bankruptcy or a counterparty’s failure to pay or perform), with the right to net a counterparty’s rights and obligations under such agreement and liquidate and set off collateral held by the Company against the net amount owed by the counterparty.

The Company’s policy is generally to take possession of securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities borrowed, and to receive securities and cash posted as collateral (with rights of rehypothecation). In certain cases, the Company may agree for such collateral to be posted to a third-party custodian under a tri-party arrangement that enables the Company to take control of such collateral in the event of a counterparty default. The Company also monitors the fair value of the underlying securities as compared with the related receivable or payable, including accrued interest, and, as necessary, requests additional collateral as provided under the applicable agreement to ensure such transactions are adequately collateralized. The risk related to a decline in the market value of collateral (pledged or received) is managed by setting appropriate market-based haircuts. Increases in collateral margin calls on secured financing due to market value declines may be mitigated by increases in collateral margin calls on reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowed transactions with similar quality collateral. Additionally, the Company may replace lower quality collateral pledged with higher quality collateral through collateral substitution rights in the underlying agreements.

The Company actively manages its secured financing in a manner that reduces the potential refinancing risk of secured financing for less liquid assets. The Company considers the quality of collateral when negotiating collateral eligibility with counterparties, as defined by the Company’s fundability criteria. The Company utilizes shorter-term secured financing for highly liquid assets and has established longer tenor limits for less liquid assets, for which funding may be at risk in the event of a market disruption.

Offsetting of Certain Collateralized Transactions.

Trading Assets Pledged.

The Company pledges its trading assets to collateralize repurchase agreements and other secured financings. Pledged financial instruments that can be sold or repledged by the secured party are identified as Trading assets (pledged to various parties) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying value of Trading assets by the Company that have been loaned or pledged to counterparties where those counterparties do not have the right to sell or repledge the collateral were $45.5 billion and $31.3 billion, respectively.

Collateral Received.

The Company receives collateral in the form of securities in connection with reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowed and derivative transactions, customer margin loans and securities-based lending. In many cases, the Company is permitted to sell or repledge these securities held as collateral and use the securities to secure repurchase agreements, to enter into securities lending and derivative transactions or for delivery to counterparties to cover short positions. The Company additionally receives securities as collateral in connection with certain securities-for-securities transactions in which the Company is the lender. In instances where the Company is permitted to sell or repledge these securities, the Company reports the fair value of the collateral received and the related obligation to return the collateral in its condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the total fair value of financial instruments received as collateral where the Company is permitted to sell or repledge the securities was $605 billion and $546 billion, respectively, and the fair value of the portion that had been sold or repledged was $461 billion and $403 billion, respectively.

Other.

The Company also engages in margin lending to clients that allows the client to borrow against the value of qualifying securities and is included within Customer and other receivables in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. For a further discussion of the Company’s margin lending activities, see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were approximately $30.8 billion and $29.0 billion, respectively, of customer margin loans outstanding.

Other secured financings include the liabilities related to transfers of financial assets that are accounted for as financings rather than sales, consolidated VIEs where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, and certain equity-linked notes and other secured borrowings. These liabilities are generally payable from the cash flows of the related assets accounted for as Trading assets (see Notes 6 and 9).

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, cash and securities deposited with clearing organizations or segregated under federal and other regulations or requirements were as follows:

(1)During the second quarter of 2015, the Company made amendments to certain arrangements by which it acts in the capacity of a clearing member to clear derivatives on behalf of customers. These amendments resulted in approximately $3.8 billion related to cash initial margin received from customers and remitted to clearing organizations or third-party custodian banks no longer qualifying for recognition in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
(2)Securities deposited with clearing organizations or segregated under federal and other regulations or requirements are sourced from Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Trading assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

6.Variable Interest Entities and Securitization Activities.

The Company is involved with various special purpose entities (“SPE”) in the normal course of business. In most cases, these entities are deemed to be VIEs. The Company’s transactions with VIEs primarily include securitizations, municipal tender option bond trusts, credit protection purchased through CLNs, other structured financings, collateralized loan and debt obligations, equity-linked notes, managed real estate partnerships and asset management investment funds. The Company’s continuing involvement in VIEs that it does not consolidate can include ownership of retained interests in Company-sponsored transactions, interests purchased in the secondary market (both for Company-sponsored transactions and transactions sponsored by third parties), derivatives with securitization SPEs (primarily interest rate derivatives in commercial mortgage and residential mortgage securitizations and credit derivatives in which the Company has purchased protection in synthetic CDOs).

For a further discussion on the Company’s VIEs, the determination and structure of VIEs and securitization activities, see Note 7 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

Consolidated VIEs.

Except for consolidated VIEs included in other structured financings and managed real estate partnerships in the tables below, the Company accounts for the assets held by the entities primarily in Trading assets and the liabilities of the entities as Other secured financings in its condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. For consolidated VIEs included in other structured financings, the Company accounts for the assets held by the entities primarily in Premises, equipment and software costs, and Other assets in its condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. For consolidated VIEs included in managed real estate partnerships, the Company accounts for the assets held by the entities primarily in Trading assets in its condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Except for consolidated VIEs included in other structured financings, the assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings.

The assets owned by many consolidated VIEs cannot be removed unilaterally by the Company and are not generally available to the Company. The related liabilities issued by many consolidated VIEs are non-recourse to the Company. In certain other consolidated VIEs, the Company either has the unilateral right to remove assets or provide additional recourse through derivatives such as total return swaps, guarantees or other forms of involvement.

The following table presents information at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 about VIEs that the Company consolidates. Consolidated VIE assets and liabilities are presented after intercompany eliminations and include assets financed on a non-recourse basis:

In general, the Company’s exposure to loss in consolidated VIEs is limited to losses that would be absorbed on the VIE’s assets recognized in its financial statements, net of losses absorbed by third-party holders of the VIE’s liabilities. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, managed real estate partnerships reflected nonredeemable noncontrolling interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements of $57 million and $240 million, respectively. The Company also had additional maximum exposure to losses of approximately $68 million and $105 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, primarily related to certain derivatives, commitments, guarantees and other forms of involvement.

Non-Consolidated VIEs.

The following tables present information about certain non-consolidated VIEs in which the Company had variable interests at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The tables include all VIEs in which the Company has determined that its maximum exposure to loss is greater than specific thresholds or meets certain other criteria. Most of the VIEs included in the tables below are sponsored by unrelated parties; the Company’s involvement generally is the result of the Company’s secondary market-making activities and securities held in its Investment securities portfolio (see Note 4):

(4)Mortgage- and asset-backed securitizations include VIE debt and equity interests as follows: $1.9 billion of residential mortgages; $2.4 billion of commercial mortgages; $4.0 billion of U.S. agency collateralized mortgage obligations; and $6.8 billion of other consumer or commercial loans.

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss often differs from the carrying value of the variable interests held by the Company. The maximum exposure to loss is dependent on the nature of the Company’s variable interest in the VIEs and is limited to the notional amounts of certain liquidity facilities, other credit support, total return swaps, written put options, and the fair value of certain other derivatives and investments the Company has made in the VIEs. Liabilities issued by VIEs generally are non-recourse to the Company. Where notional amounts are utilized in quantifying maximum exposure related to derivatives, such amounts do not reflect fair value write-downs already recorded by the Company.

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss does not include the offsetting benefit of any financial instruments that the Company may utilize to hedge these risks associated with the Company’s variable interests. In addition, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss is not reduced by the amount of collateral held as part of a transaction with the VIE or any party to the VIE directly against a specific exposure to loss.

Securitization transactions generally involve VIEs. Primarily as a result of its secondary market-making activities, the Company owned additional securities issued by securitization SPEs for which the maximum exposure to loss is less than specific thresholds. These additional securities totaled $13.4 billion and $14.0 billion at June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively. These securities were either retained in connection with transfers of assets by the Company, acquired in connection with secondary market-making activities or held in the Company’s AFS securities within its Investment securities portfolio (see Note 4). At June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, these securities consisted of securities backed by residential mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans or other consumer loans, such as credit card receivables, automobile loans and student loans, and CDOs or CLOs. The Company’s primary risk exposure is to the securities issued by the SPE owned by the Company, with the risk highest on the most subordinate class of beneficial interests. These securities generally are included in Trading assets—Corporate and other debt or AFS securities within the Company’s Investment securities portfolio and are measured at fair value (see Note 3). The Company does not provide additional support in these transactions through contractual facilities, such as liquidity facilities, guarantees or similar derivatives. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss generally equals the fair value of the securities owned.

Transfers of Assets with Continuing Involvement.

The following tables present information at June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively, regarding transactions with SPEs in which the Company, acting as principal, transferred financial assets with continuing involvement and received sales treatment:

Transferred assets are carried at fair value prior to securitization, and any changes in fair value are recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company may act as underwriter of the beneficial interests issued by these securitization vehicles. Investment banking underwriting net revenues are recognized in connection with these transactions. The Company may retain interests in the securitized financial assets as one or more tranches of the securitization. These retained interests are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition at fair value. Any changes in the fair value of such retained interests are recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

Net gains on sale of assets in securitization transactions at the time of the sale were not material in the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

During the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company received proceeds from new securitization transactions and proceeds from cash flows from retained interests in securitization transactions as follows:

In connection with its underwriting of CLO transactions for unaffiliated sponsors, the Company received proceeds from sale of corporate loans sold to those SPEs as follows:

   For the Six Months

Net gains on sale of corporate loans to CLO transactions at the time of sale were not material for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The Company also enters into transactions in which it sells equity securities and contemporaneously enters into bilateral OTC equity derivatives with the purchasers of the securities, through which derivatives it retains the exposure to the securities. For transactions where the derivatives were outstanding at June 30, 2015, the carrying value of assets derecognized at the time of sale and the gross cash proceeds were $12.8 billion. In addition, the fair value at June 30, 2015 of the assets sold was $12.5 billion while the fair value of derivative assets and derivative liabilities recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of financial condition at June 30, 2015 was $5.2 million and $325 million, respectively (see Note 10).

Failed Sales.

In order to be treated as a sale of assets for accounting purposes, a transaction must meet all of the criteria stipulated in the accounting guidance for the transfer of financial assets. A transfer that fails to meet these criteria, is treated as a failed sale. In such cases, the Company continues to recognize the assets in Trading assets, and the Company recognizes the associated liabilities in Other secured financings in its condensed consolidated statements of financial condition (see Note 9).

The assets transferred to unconsolidated VIEs in transactions accounted for as failed sales cannot be removed unilaterally by the Company and are not generally available to the Company. The related liabilities are also non-recourse to the Company. In certain other failed sale transactions, the Company has the right to remove assets or provide additional recourse through derivatives such as total return swaps, guarantees or other forms of involvement.

The following table presents information about the carrying value (equal to fair value) of assets and liabilities resulting from transfers of financial assets treated by the Company as secured financings:

Credit Quality.

For a discussion about the Company’s evaluation of credit transactions and monitoring, see Note 8 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

The Company utilizes the following credit quality indicators which are consistent with U.S. banking regulators’ definitions of criticized exposures, in its credit monitoring process for loans held for investment.

 

  

Pass.    A credit exposure rated pass has a continued expectation of timely repayment, all obligations of the borrower are current, and the obligor complies with material terms and conditions of the lending agreement.

 

 49 LOGO


Table of Contents

MORGAN STANLEY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

 

  

Special Mention.    Extensions of credit that have potential weakness that deserve management’s close attention, and if left uncorrected may, at some future date, result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position.

 

  

Substandard.    Obligor has a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the repayment of the debt and has a high probability of payment default with the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if noted deficiencies are not corrected.

 

  

Doubtful.    Inherent weakness in the exposure makes the collection or repayment in full, based on existing facts, conditions and circumstances, highly improbable, and the amount of loss is uncertain.

 

  

Loss.    Extensions of credit classified as loss are considered uncollectible and are charged off.

Loans considered as doubtful or loss are considered impaired. Substandard loans are regularly reviewed for impairment. When a loan is impaired the impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or as a practical expedient the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For further information, see Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

The following tables present credit quality indicators for the Company’s loans held for investment, gross of allowance for loan losses, by product type, at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Employee Loans.

Employee loans are granted primarily in conjunction with a program established in the Company’s Wealth Management business segment to retain and recruit certain employees. These loans are recorded in Customer and other receivables in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. These loans are full recourse, generally require periodic payments and have repayment terms ranging from one to twelve years. The Company establishes an allowance for loan amounts it does not consider recoverable, which is recorded in Compensation and benefits expense. At June 30, 2015, the Company had $4,854 million of employee loans, net of an allowance of approximately $121 million. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $5,130 million of employee loans, net of an allowance of approximately $116 million.

(1)Amounts include $7.3 billion of derivative assets and $8.8 billion of derivative liabilities, which are either not subject to master netting agreements or collateral agreements or are subject to such agreements but the Company has not determined the agreements to be legally enforceable. See also “Fair Value and Notional of Derivative Instruments” herein, for additional disclosure about gross fair values and notionals for derivative instruments by risk type.
(2)Amounts relate to master netting agreements and collateral agreements, which have been determined by the Company to be legally enforceable in the event of default but where certain other criteria are not met in accordance with applicable offsetting accounting guidance.
(3)Amounts include OTC derivatives that are centrally cleared in accordance with certain regulatory requirements.
(4)Amounts include $6.5 billion of derivative assets and $6.9 billion of derivative liabilities, which are either not subject to master netting agreements or collateral agreements or are subject to such agreements but the Company has not determined the agreements to be legally enforceable. See also “Fair Value and Notional of Derivative Instruments” herein, for additional disclosure about gross fair values and notionals for derivative instruments by risk type.

The Company incurs credit risk as a dealer in OTC derivatives. Credit risk with respect to derivative instruments arises from the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of the contract. The Company’s exposure to credit risk at any point in time is represented by the fair value of the derivative contracts reported as assets. The fair value of a derivative represents the amount at which the derivative could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants and is further described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K and Note 3.

The tables below present a summary by counterparty credit rating and remaining contract maturity of the fair value of OTC derivatives in a gain position at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Fair value is presented in the final column, net of collateral received (principally cash and U.S. government and agency securities):

(1)Fair values shown represent the Company’s net exposure to counterparties related to the Company’s OTC derivative products. Amounts include centrally cleared OTC derivatives. The tables do not include exchange-traded derivatives and the effect of any related hedges utilized by the Company.
(2)Obligor credit ratings are determined by the Company’s Credit Risk Management Department.
(3)Amounts represent the netting of receivable balances with payable balances for the same counterparty across maturity categories. Receivable and payable balances with the same counterparty in the same maturity category are netted within such maturity category, where appropriate. Cash collateral received is netted on a counterparty basis, provided legal right of offset exists.

For a discussion of hedge accounting, fair value hedges—interest rate risk and net investment hedges, see Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

Fair Value and Notional of Derivative Instruments.    The following tables summarize the fair value of derivative instruments designated as accounting hedges and the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges by type of derivative contract and the platform on which these instruments are traded or cleared on a gross basis. Fair values of derivative contracts in an asset position are included in Trading assets, and fair values of derivative contracts in a liability position are reflected in Trading liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition (see Note 3):

(1)Gains (losses) on derivative contracts not designated as hedges are primarily included in Trading revenues in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Gains (losses) associated with certain derivative contracts that have physically settled are excluded from the table above. Gains (losses) on these contracts are reflected with the associated cash instruments, which are also included in Trading revenues in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Company also has certain embedded derivatives that have been bifurcated from the related structured borrowings. Such derivatives are classified in Long-term borrowings and had a net fair value of $25 million and $10 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and a notional value of $2,069 million at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company recognized gains of $21 million and $16 million related to changes in the fair value of its bifurcated embedded derivatives for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The Company recognized losses of $18 million and $28 million related to changes in the fair value of its bifurcated embedded derivatives for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Credit Risk-Related Contingencies.

In connection with certain OTC trading agreements, the Company may be required to provide additional collateral or immediately settle any outstanding liability balances with certain counterparties in the event of a credit rating downgrade of the Company. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of certain derivative contracts that contain credit risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position for which the Company has posted collateral in the normal course of business.

 

   At June 30, 2015 
   (dollars in millions) 

Net derivative liabilities

  $28,962  

Collateral posted

   24,288  

The additional collateral or termination payments which may be called in the event of a future credit rating downgrade vary by contract and can be based on ratings by either or both of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”). At June 30, 2015, for such OTC trading agreements, the future potential collateral amounts and termination payments that could be called or required by counterparties or exchange and clearing organizations in the event of one-notch or two-notch downgrade scenarios based on the relevant contractual downgrade triggers were as follows:

 

   At June 30, 2015 
   (dollars in millions) 

Incremental collateral or terminating payments upon future rating downgrade(1):

  

One-notch downgrade

  $1,269  

Two-notch downgrade

   1,232  

 

(1)Amounts include $2,027 million related to bilateral arrangements between the Company and other parties where upon the downgrade of one party, the downgraded party must deliver collateral to the other party. These bilateral downgrade arrangements are a risk management tool used extensively by the Company as credit exposures are reduced if counterparties are downgraded.

Credit Derivatives and Other Credit Contracts.

The Company enters into credit derivatives, principally through credit default swaps, under which it receives or provides protection against the risk of default on a set of debt obligations issued by a specified reference entity or entities. A majority of the Company’s counterparties are banks, broker-dealers, insurance and other financial institutions, and monoline insurers.

(1)Fair value amounts are shown on a gross basis prior to cash collateral or counterparty netting.
(2)Fair value amounts of certain credit default swaps where the Company sold protection have an asset carrying value because credit spreads of the underlying reference entity or entities tightened during the term of the contracts.
(3)Other credit contracts include CLNs, CDOs and credit default swaps that are considered hybrid instruments. Fair value amounts shown represent the fair value of the hybrid instruments.

Single Name Credit Default Swaps.    A credit default swap protects the buyer against the loss of principal on a bond or loan in case of a default by the issuer. The protection buyer pays a periodic premium (generally quarterly) over the life of the contract and is protected for the period. The Company in turn will have to perform under a credit default swap if a credit event as defined under the contract occurs. Typical credit events include bankruptcy, dissolution or insolvency of the referenced entity, failure to pay and restructuring of the obligations of the referenced entity. In order to provide an indication of the current payment status or performance risk of the credit default swaps, a breakdown by credit ratings is provided. Agency ratings, if available, are used for this purpose; otherwise the Company’s internal ratings are used.

Index and Basket Credit Default Swaps.    Index and basket credit default swaps are products where credit protection is provided on a portfolio of single name credit default swaps. Generally, in the event of a default on one of the underlying names, the Company will have to pay a pro rata portion of the total notional amount of the credit default swap.

The Company also enters into tranched index and basket credit default swaps where credit protection is provided on a particular portion of the portfolio loss distribution. The most junior tranches cover initial defaults, and once losses exceed the notional of the tranche, they are passed on to the next most senior tranche in the capital structure.

In order to provide an indication of the current payment status or performance risk of the credit default swaps, a breakdown by the Company’s internal credit ratings is provided. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company utilized its internal credit ratings as compared with December 31, 2014 where external agency ratings, if available, were utilized. The change in the rating methodology did not have a significant impact on investment grade versus non-investment grade classifications or the fair values of tranched and non-tranched index and basket products in the above table.

Credit Protection Sold through CLNs and CDOs.    The Company has invested in CLNs and CDOs, which are hybrid instruments containing embedded derivatives, in which credit protection has been sold to the issuer of the note. If there is a credit event of a reference entity underlying the instrument, the principal balance of the note may not be repaid in full to the Company.

Purchased Credit Protection with Identical Underlying Reference Obligations.    For single name credit default swaps and non-tranched index and basket credit default swaps, the Company has purchased protection with a notional amount of approximately $661 billion and $731 billion at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, compared with a notional amount of approximately $719 billion and $805 billion at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, of credit protection sold with identical underlying reference obligations. In order to identify purchased protection with the same underlying reference obligations, the notional amount for individual reference obligations within non-tranched indices and baskets was determined on a pro rata basis and matched off against single name and non-tranched index and basket credit default swaps where credit protection was sold with identical underlying reference obligations.

The purchase of credit protection does not represent the sole manner in which the Company risk manages its exposure to credit derivatives. The Company manages its exposure to these derivative contracts through a variety of risk mitigation strategies, which include managing the credit and correlation risk across single name, non-tranched indices and baskets, tranched indices and baskets, and cash positions. Aggregate market risk limits have been established for credit derivatives, and market risk measures are routinely monitored against these limits. The Company may also recover amounts on the underlying reference obligation delivered to the Company under credit default swaps where credit protection was sold.

(1)These amounts include certain commitments participated to third parties totaling $1.4 billion of investment grade and $2.8 billion of non-investment grade, due to the nature of the Company’s obligations under the commitments.
(2)The Company enters into forward starting reverse repurchase and securities borrowing agreements (agreements that have a trade date at or prior to June 30, 2015 and settle subsequent to period-end) that are primarily secured by collateral from U.S. government agency securities and other sovereign government obligations. These agreements primarily settle within three business days of the trade date, and of the total amount at June 30, 2015, $47.5 billion settled within three business days.
(3)The Company also has a contingent obligation to provide financing to a clearinghouse through which it clears certain transactions. The financing is required only upon the default of a clearinghouse member. The financing takes the form of a reverse repurchase facility, with a maximum amount of approximately $1.3 billion.

For a further description of these commitments, refer to Note 13 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

The Company sponsors several non-consolidated investment funds for third-party investors where the Company typically acts as general partner of, and investment advisor to, these funds and typically commits to invest a minority of the capital of such funds, with subscribing third-party investors contributing the majority. The Company’s employees, including its senior officers, as well as the Company’s Directors, may participate on the same terms and conditions as other investors in certain of these funds that the Company forms primarily for client investment, except that the Company may waive or lower applicable fees and charges for its employees. The Company has contractual capital commitments, guarantees, lending facilities and counterparty arrangements with respect to these investment funds.

(2)These amounts include certain standby letters of credit participated to third parties totaling $0.5 billion due to the nature of the Company’s obligations under these arrangements.

For a further description of these guarantees, refer to Note 13 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

The Company has obligations under certain guarantee arrangements, including contracts and indemnification agreements, that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying measure (such as an interest or foreign exchange rate, security or commodity price, an index, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of a specified event) related to an asset, liability or equity security of a guaranteed party. Also included as guarantees are contracts that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another entity’s failure to perform under an agreement, as well as indirect guarantees of the indebtedness of others. The Company’s use of guarantees is described below by type of guarantee:

Other Guarantees and Indemnities.

In the normal course of business, the Company provides guarantees and indemnifications in a variety of commercial transactions. These provisions generally are standard contractual terms. Certain of these guarantees and indemnifications related to trust preferred securities, indemnities, exchange/clearinghouse member guarantees and merger and acquisition guarantees are described in Note 13 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company guarantees the debt and/or certain trading obligations (including obligations associated with derivatives, foreign exchange contracts and the settlement of physical commodities) of certain subsidiaries. These guarantees generally are entity or product specific and are required by investors or trading counterparties. The activities of the Company’s subsidiaries covered by these guarantees (including any related debt or trading obligations) are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contingencies.

Legal.    In the normal course of business, the Company has been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, arising in connection with its activities as a global diversified financial services institution. Certain of the actual or threatened legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. In some cases, the entities that would otherwise be the primary defendants in such cases are bankrupt or are in financial distress. These actions have included, but are not limited to, residential mortgage and credit crisis related matters. Over the last several years, the level of litigation and investigatory activity (both formal and informal) by governmental and self-regulatory agencies has increased materially in the financial services industry. As a result, the Company expects that it may become the subject of increased claims for damages and other relief and, while the Company has identified below any individual proceedings where the Company believes a material loss to be reasonably possible and reasonably estimable, there can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred from claims that have not yet been asserted or are not yet determined to be probable or possible and reasonably estimable losses.

The Company contests liability and/or the amount of damages as appropriate in each pending matter. Where available information indicates that it is probable a liability had been incurred at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss, the Company accrues the estimated loss by a charge to income. The Company expects future litigation accruals in general to continue to be elevated and the changes in accruals from period to period may fluctuate significantly, given the current environment regarding government investigations and private litigation affecting global financial services firms, including the Company.

In many proceedings and investigations, however, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible or to estimate the amount of any loss. In addition, even where a loss is possible or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued with respect to a previously recognized loss contingency, it is not always possible to reasonably estimate the size of the possible loss or range of loss.

For certain legal proceedings and investigations, the Company cannot reasonably estimate such losses, particularly for proceedings and investigations where the factual record is being developed or contested or where plaintiffs or governmental entities seek substantial or indeterminate damages, restitution, disgorgement or penalties. Numerous issues may need to be resolved, including through potentially lengthy discovery and determination of important factual matters, determination of issues related to class certification and the calculation of damages or other relief, and by addressing novel or unsettled legal questions relevant to the proceedings or investigations in question, before a loss or additional loss or range of loss or additional loss can be reasonably estimated for a proceeding or investigation.

For certain other legal proceedings and investigations, the Company can estimate reasonably possible losses, additional losses, ranges of loss or ranges of additional loss in excess of amounts accrued, but does not believe, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that such losses will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a whole, other than the matters referred to in the following paragraphs.

On July 15, 2010, China Development Industrial Bank (“CDIB”) filed a complaint against the Company, styled China Development Industrial Bank v. Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated et al., which is pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (“Supreme Court of NY”). The complaint relates to a $275 million credit default swap referencing the super senior portion of the STACK 2006-1 CDO. The complaint asserts claims for common law fraud, fraudulent inducement and fraudulent concealment and alleges

 

LOGO 68 


Table of Contents

MORGAN STANLEY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

 

that the Company misrepresented the risks of the STACK 2006-1 CDO to CDIB, and that the Company knew that the assets backing the CDO were of poor quality when it entered into the credit default swap with CDIB. The complaint seeks compensatory damages related to the approximately $228 million that CDIB alleges it has already lost under the credit default swap, rescission of CDIB’s obligation to pay an additional $12 million, punitive damages, equitable relief, fees and costs. On February 28, 2011, the court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the complaint. Based on currently available information, the Company believes it could incur a loss of up to approximately $240 million plus pre- and post-judgment interest, fees and costs.

On April 25, 2012, The Prudential Insurance Company of America and certain affiliates filed a complaint against the Company and certain affiliates in the Superior Court of the State of New Jersey, styled The Prudential Insurance Company of America, et al. v. Morgan Stanley, et al. On October 16, 2012, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which alleges that defendants made untrue statements and material omissions in connection with the sale to plaintiffs of certain mortgage pass-through certificates backed by securitization trusts containing residential mortgage loans. The total amount of certificates allegedly sponsored, underwritten and/or sold by the Company was approximately $1.073 billion. The amended complaint raises claims under the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, as well as common law claims of negligent misrepresentation, fraud, fraudulent inducement, equitable fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, and violations of the New Jersey RICO statute, and includes a claim for treble damages. On April 26, 2013, the defendants filed an answer to the amended complaint. On January 2, 2015, the court denied defendants’ renewed motion to dismiss the amended complaint. At June 25, 2015, the current unpaid balance of the mortgage pass-through certificates at issue in this action was approximately $590 million, and the certificates had not yet incurred actual losses. Based on currently available information, the Company believes it could incur a loss in this action up to the difference between the $590 million unpaid balance of these certificates (plus any losses incurred) and their fair market value at the time of a judgment against the Company, or upon sale, plus pre- and post-judgment interest, fees and costs. The Company may be entitled to be indemnified for some of these losses and to an offset for interest received by the plaintiff prior to a judgment.

On August 7, 2012, U.S. Bank, in its capacity as Trustee, filed a complaint on behalf of Morgan Stanley Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-4SL and Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-4SL (together, the “Trust”) against the Company. The matter is styled Morgan Stanley Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-4SL, et al. v. Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc. and is pending in the Supreme Court of NY. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and alleges, among other things, that the loans in the trust, which had an original principal balance of approximately $303 million, breached various representations and warranties. The complaint seeks, among other relief, rescission of the mortgage loan purchase agreement underlying the transaction, specific performance and unspecified damages and interest. On August 8, 2014, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss. On September 3, 2014, the Company filed its answer to the complaint. Based on currently available information, the Company believes that it could incur a loss in this action of up to approximately $149 million, plus pre- and post-judgment interest, fees and costs.

On August 8, 2012, U.S. Bank, in its capacity as Trustee, filed a complaint on behalf of Morgan Stanley Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-14SL, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-14SL, Morgan Stanley Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-4SL and Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-4SL against the Company. The complaint is styled Morgan Stanley Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-14SL, et al. v. Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, as successor in interest to Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc. and is pending in the Supreme Court of NY. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and alleges, among other things, that the loans in the trusts, which had original principal balances of approximately $354 million and $305 million respectively, breached various representations and warranties. On August 16, 2013, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss the complaint. On September 17, 2013, the Company filed its answer to the complaint. On September 26, 2013, and October 7, 2013, the Company and the plaintiff,

respectively, filed notices of appeal with respect to the court’s August 16, 2013 decision. The plaintiff is seeking, among other relief, rescission of the mortgage loan purchase agreements underlying the transactions, specific performance and unspecified damages and interest. Based on currently available information, the Company believes that it could incur a loss in this action of up to approximately $527 million, plus pre- and post-interest, fees and costs.

12.Regulatory Requirements.

Regulatory Capital Framework.

For a discussion of the Company’s regulatory capital framework, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

Calculation of Risk-Based Capital Ratios.    The Company is required to calculate and hold capital against credit, market and operational risk-weighted assets (“RWAs”). For a further discussion of the Company’s RWAs, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.

As a U.S. Basel III Advanced Approach banking organization, the Company is subject to a permanent “capital floor” based on the lower of the risk-based capital ratios calculated using (i) standardized approaches for calculating credit risk RWAs and market risk RWAs (the “Standardized Approach”); and (ii) an advanced internal ratings-based approach for calculating credit risk RWAs, an advanced measurement approach for calculating operational risk RWAs, and an advanced approach for calculating market risk RWAs (the “Advanced Approach”) under the U.S. revised risk-based and leverage capital framework, referred to herein as “U.S. Basel III.” The capital floor applies to the calculation of the minimum risk-based capital requirements and, when in effect, the capital conservation buffer, the countercyclical capital buffer (if deployed by banking regulators), and the global systemically important bank (“G-SIB”) capital buffer.

The methods for calculating each of the Company’s risk-based capital ratios will change through January 1, 2022 as aspects of U.S. Basel III are phased in. These ongoing methodological changes may result in differences in the Company’s reported capital ratios from one reporting period to the next that are independent of changes to the Company’s capital base, asset composition, off-balance sheet exposures or risk profile.

The Company’s Regulatory Capital and Capital Ratios.    Beginning on January 1, 2015, the risk-based capital ratios for regulatory purposes of the Company and its U.S. bank operating subsidiaries, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (“MSBNA”) and Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association (“MSPBNA”) (collectively, “U.S. Subsidiary Banks”), are the lower of each ratio calculated using RWAs under the Advanced Approach or the Standardized Approach under U.S. Basel III, in both cases subject to transitional provisions. In 2014, the Company’s binding risk-based capital ratios were the lower of its ratios computed under the Advanced Approach or U.S. banking regulators’ U.S. Basel I-based rules (“U.S. Basel I”) as supplemented by rules that implemented the Basel Committee’s market risk capital framework amendment, commonly referred to as “Basel 2.5”. At June 30, 2015, the Company’s risk-based capital ratios were lower under the Advanced Approach transitional rules; however, the risk-based capital ratios for its U.S. Subsidiary Banks were lower under the Standardized Approach transitional rules.

The following table presents the Company’s capital measures under the U.S. Basel III Advanced Approach transitional rules and the minimum regulatory capital ratios.

(1)Percentages represent minimum regulatory capital ratios under U.S. Basel III transitional rules.
(2)Beginning with the first quarter of 2015, in accordance with U.S. Basel III, adjusted average assets represent the denominator of the Tier 1 leverage ratio and were composed of the average daily balance of consolidated on-balance sheet assets under U.S. GAAP during the calendar quarter, adjusted for disallowed goodwill, transitional intangible assets, certain deferred tax assets, certain investments in the capital instruments of unconsolidated financial institutions and other adjustments.

The Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks.    The Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks are subject to similar regulatory capital requirements as the Company. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks’ financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, each of the Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

(1)Capital ratios required to be considered well-capitalized for U.S. regulatory purposes.

Under regulatory capital requirements adopted by the U.S. federal banking agencies, U.S. depository institutions, in order to be considered well-capitalized, must maintain certain minimum capital ratios. Each U.S. depository institution subsidiary of the Company must be well-capitalized in order for the Company to continue to qualify as a financial holding company and to continue to engage in the broadest range of financial activities permitted for financial holding companies. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks maintained capital at levels in excess of the universally mandated well-capitalized requirements. The Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks maintained capital at levels sufficiently in excess of these “well capitalized” requirements to address any additional capital needs and requirements identified by the U.S. federal banking regulators.

MS&Co. and Other Broker-Dealers.    Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”) is a registered broker-dealer and registered futures commission merchant and, accordingly, is subject to the minimum net capital requirements of the SEC and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). MS&Co. has consistently operated with capital in excess of its regulatory capital requirements. MS&Co.’s net capital totaled $9,084 million and $6,593 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, which exceeded the amount required by $7,292 million and $4,928 million, respectively. MS&Co. is required to hold tentative net capital in excess of $1 billion and net capital in excess of $500 million in accordance with the market and credit risk standards of Appendix E of SEC Rule 15c3-1. MS&Co. is also required to notify the SEC in the event that its tentative net capital is less than $5 billion. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, MS&Co. had tentative net capital in excess of the minimum and the notification requirements.

13.Total Equity

Morgan Stanley Shareholders’ Equity.

In March 2015, the Company received no objection from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) to its 2015 capital plan. The capital plan included a share repurchase of up to $3.1 billion of the Company’s outstanding common stock that began in the second quarter of 2015 through the end of the second quarter of 2016. Additionally, the capital plan included an increase in the Company’s quarterly common stock dividend to $0.15 per share from $0.10 per share, that began with the dividend declared on April 20, 2015. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased approximately $625 million and $875 million, respectively. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately $284 million and $434 million, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding common stock as part of its share repurchase program.

The Company has sufficient authorization for the proposed share repurchases pursuant to the capital plan under its existing share repurchase program for capital management purposes. Pursuant to the share repurchase program, the Company considers, among other things, business segment capital needs as well as equity-based compensation and benefit plan requirements. Share repurchases under the Company’s program will be exercised from time to time at prices the Company deems appropriate subject to various factors, including the Company’s capital position and market conditions. The share repurchases may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans, and may be suspended at any time. Share repurchases by the Company are subject to regulatory approval.

Preferred Stock.

Series J Preferred Stock.    On March 19, 2015, the Company issued 1,500,000 Depositary Shares, for an aggregate price of $1,500 million. Each Depositary Share represents a 1/25th interest in a share of perpetual

Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests were $1,029 million and $1,204 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The reduction in nonredeemable noncontrolling interests was primarily due to the deconsolidation in the second quarter of 2015 of $191 million of net assets previously attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests that were related to a real estate fund sponsored by the Company.

14.Earnings per Common Share.

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Common shares outstanding include common stock and vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) where recipients have satisfied either the explicit vesting terms or retirement eligibility requirements. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities. The Company calculates EPS using the two-class method, which allocates a portion of the Company’s earnings to instruments granted in share-based payment transactions that are considered participating securities (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K). The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS (in millions, except for per share data):

16.Employee Benefit Plans.

The Company sponsors various pension plans for the majority of its U.S. and non-U.S. employees. The Company provides certain other postretirement benefits, primarily health care and life insurance, to eligible U.S. employees. The Company also provides certain postemployment benefits to certain former employees or inactive employees prior to retirement.

The components of the Company’s net periodic benefit expense for its pension and postretirement plans were as follows:

17.Income Taxes.

The Company is under continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and other tax authorities in certain countries, such as Japan and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), and in states in which the Company has significant business operations, such as New York. The Company is currently at various levels of field examination with respect to audits by the IRS, as well as New York State and New York City, for tax years 2009–2012 and 2007–2009, respectively. The Company is currently under review by the IRS Appeals Office for the remaining issues covering tax years 1999–2005 and has substantially completed the IRS field examination for the audit of tax years 2006–2008. During 2015, the Company expects to reach a conclusion with the U.K. tax authorities on substantially all issues through tax year 2010, the resolution of which is not expected to have a material impact on the effective tax rate on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company believes that the resolution of these tax matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, although a resolution could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income for a particular future period and on the Company’s effective income tax rate for any period in which such resolution occurs. The Company has established a liability for unrecognized tax benefits that the Company believes is adequate in relation to the potential for additional assessments. Once established, the Company adjusts unrecognized tax benefits only when more information is available or when an event occurs necessitating a change.

It is reasonably possible that significant changes in the gross balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months related to certain tax authority examinations referred to above. At this time, however, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the expected change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and impact on the Company’s effective tax rate over the next 12 months.

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included a net discrete tax benefit of $564 million. This net discrete tax benefit was primarily associated with the

repatriation of non-U.S. earnings at a cost lower than originally estimated due to an internal restructuring to simplify the Company’s legal entity organization in the U.K.

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 included a net discrete tax benefit of $609 million principally associated with remeasurement of reserves and related interest due to new information regarding the status of the IRS field examination referred to above.

(1)In certain management fee arrangements, the Company is entitled to receive performance-based fees (also referred to as incentive fees) when the return on assets under management exceeds certain benchmark returns or other performance targets. In such arrangements, performance fee revenue is accrued (or reversed) quarterly based on measuring account fund performance to date versus the performance benchmark stated in the investment management agreement. The amount of cumulative performance-based fee revenue at risk of reversing if fund performance falls below stated investment management agreement benchmarks was approximately $618 million at June 30, 2015 and approximately $634 million at December 31, 2014 (see Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K).
(2)The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included a net discrete tax benefit of $564 million (within the Company’s Institutional Securities business segment). The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 included a net discrete tax benefit of $609 million (primarily within the Company’s Institutional Securities business segment) (see Note 17).
(3)On October 1, 2014, the Managed Futures business was transferred from the Company’s Wealth Management business segment to the Company’s Investment Management business segment. All prior-period amounts have been recast to conform to the current year’s presentation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Morgan Stanley:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial condition of Morgan Stanley and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2015, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and changes in total equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the Company.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company as of December 31, 2014, and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in total equity for the year then ended (not presented herein) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K; and in our report dated March 2, 2015, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2014 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial condition from which it has been derived.

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

Introduction.

Morgan Stanley, a financial holding company, is a global financial services firm that maintains significant market positions in each of its business segments—Institutional Securities, Wealth Management and Investment Management. Morgan Stanley, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, provides a wide variety of products and services to a large and diversified group of clients and customers, including corporations, governments, financial institutions and individuals. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Morgan Stanley” or the “Company” mean Morgan Stanley (the “Parent”) together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

A brief summary of the activities of each of the Company’s business segments is as follows:

Institutional Securities provides financial advisory and capital-raising services, including: advice on mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, real estate and project finance; corporate lending; sales, trading, financing and market-making activities in equity and fixed income securities and related products, including foreign exchange and commodities; and investment activities.

Wealth Management provides brokerage and investment advisory services to individual investors and small-to-medium sized businesses and institutions covering various investment alternatives; financial and wealth planning services; annuity and other insurance products; credit and other lending products; cash management services; and retirement services; and engages in fixed income trading, which primarily facilitates clients’ trading or investments in such securities.

Investment Management provides a broad array of investment strategies that span the risk/return spectrum across geographies, asset classes, and public and private markets to a diverse group of clients across the institutional and intermediary channels as well as high net worth clients.

The results of operations in the past have been, and in the future may continue to be, materially affected by many factors, including: the effect of economic and political conditions and geopolitical events; the effect of market conditions, particularly in the global equity, fixed income, currency, credit and commodities markets, including corporate and mortgage (commercial and residential) lending and commercial real estate markets and energy markets; the impact of current, pending and future legislation (including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”)), regulation (including capital, leverage and liquidity requirements), policies (including fiscal and monetary), and legal and regulatory actions in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and worldwide; the level and volatility of equity, fixed income and commodity prices (including oil prices), interest rates, currency values and other market indices; the availability and cost of both credit and capital as well as the credit ratings assigned to the Company’s unsecured short-term and long-term debt; investor, consumer and business sentiment and confidence in the financial markets; the performance of the Company’s acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, strategic alliances or other strategic arrangements; the Company’s reputation and the general perception of the financial services industry; inflation, natural disasters, pandemics and acts of war or terrorism; the actions and initiatives of current and potential competitors as well as governments, regulators and self-regulatory organizations; the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management policies; technological changes and risks and cybersecurity risks (including cyber attacks and business continuity risks); or a combination of these or other factors. In addition, legislative, legal and regulatory developments related to the Company’s businesses are likely to increase costs, thereby affecting results of operations. These factors also may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to achieve its strategic objectives. For a further discussion of these and other important factors that could affect the Company’s business, see “Business—Competition” and “Business—Supervision and Regulation” in Part I, Item 1, “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”) and “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Regulatory Requirements” herein.

Executive Summary.

Overview of the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Financial Results.

Consolidated Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2015.

The Company reported net revenues of $9,743 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 (“current quarter”) compared with $8,608 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 (“prior year quarter”). Net revenues in the current quarter included positive revenues due to the impact of debt valuation adjustment (“DVA”) of $182 million compared with positive revenues of $87 million in the prior year quarter. For the current quarter, net income applicable to Morgan Stanley was $1,807 million, or $0.85 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $1,899 million, or $0.92 per diluted common share, for the prior year quarter. The earnings for the prior year quarter included a net discrete tax benefit of $609 million or $0.31 per diluted common share, principally related to the remeasurement of reserves and related interest due to new information regarding the status of a multi-year tax authority examination.

Excluding DVA, net revenues for the current quarter were $9,561 million compared with $8,521 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding DVA and the net discrete tax benefit in the prior year quarter, net income applicable to Morgan Stanley was $1,688 million, or $0.79 per diluted common share, in the current quarter compared with $1,229 million, or $0.58 per diluted common share in the prior year quarter.1

Net revenues at $9,743 million were 13% higher than the prior year quarter. Institutional Securities net revenues were $5,172 million in the current quarter compared with $4,248 million in the prior year quarter reflecting strong results in Equity sales and trading across products and regions and generally higher fixed income interest product net revenues. Wealth Management net revenues of $3,875 million increased from $3,702 million a year ago as a result of higher Asset management, distribution and administration fees and net interest income, partially offset by lower Transactional revenues. Investment Management net revenues were $751 million in the current quarter, up 7% over the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting higher gains on investments in the Merchant Banking and Real Estate Investing business.

Total non-interest expenses were up 5% from the prior year quarter. Compensation expense of $4,405 million increased from $4,200 million a year ago primarily driven by higher revenues. Non-compensation expenses of $2,611 million increased from $2,476 million a year ago on higher volume driven expenses and professional services costs, principally consulting fees.

The annualized return on average common equity was 9.9% in the current quarter, or 9.1% excluding DVA.

 

1 Reconciliation of prior year quarter non-GAAP financial measures: U.S. GAAP Net income applicable to Morgan Stanley of $1,899 million, less net of tax DVA impact of $61 million, less net discrete tax benefit of $609 million. U.S. GAAP earnings per diluted common share of $0.92, less DVA impact of $0.03, less net discrete tax benefit of $0.31.

Consolidated Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported net revenues of $19,650 million compared with $17,604 million in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net income applicable to Morgan Stanley was $4,201 million, or $2.03 per diluted common share, compared with net income applicable to Morgan Stanley of $3,404 million, or $1.66 per diluted common share, in the prior year period. The earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included a net discrete tax benefit of $564 million or $0.29 per diluted common share, associated with the repatriation of non-U.S. earnings at a cost lower than originally estimated. The earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included a net discrete tax benefit of $609 million or $0.31 per diluted common share, principally related to the remeasurement of reserves and related interest due to new information regarding the status of a multi-year tax authority examination.

Excluding DVA, net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $19,343 million compared with $17,391 million in the prior year period. Net revenues in the current six-month period included positive revenues due to the impact of DVA of $307 million compared with positive revenues of $213 million in the prior year period. Excluding DVA for the six months ended June 30, 2015, net income applicable to Morgan Stanley was $4,002 million, or $1.93 per diluted common share, compared with $3,268 million, or $1.59 per diluted common share in the prior year.

Net revenues of $19,650 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were up 12% compared to the prior year period. Institutional Securities net revenues were $10,630 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with $8,925 million for the prior year period reflecting strong results in Equity sales and trading across products and higher fixed income interest product net revenues. Wealth Management net revenues of $7,709 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 5% from a year ago as a result of higher Asset management, distribution and administration fees and net interest income, partially offset by lower Transactional revenues. Investment Management net revenues were $1,420 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with $1,457 million for the prior year period primarily reflecting lower revenues from a minority investment in certain third-party investment managers.

Total non-interest expenses were $14,068 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $13,302 million in the prior year period. Compensation expenses of $8,929 million increased 5% over the prior year period as a result of higher revenues and the reduction of average deferral rates for discretionary incentive based awards. Non-compensation expenses were $5,139 million compared with $4,796 million a year ago on higher volume driven expenses and professional services costs.

The annualized return on average common equity was 12.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, or 11.3% excluding DVA and 9.6% excluding DVA and the net discrete tax benefit.

(4)Regional net revenues reflect the regional view of the Company’s consolidated net revenues, on a managed basis. For a further discussion regarding the geographic methodology for net revenues, see Note 21 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of the 2014 Form 10-K.
(5)Amounts include loans held for investment and loans held for sale but exclude loans at fair value which are included in Trading assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition (see Note 7 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1).
(6)For a discussion of Global Liquidity Reserve, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity Risk Management Framework—Global Liquidity Reserve” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2014 Form 10-K.
(7)Book value per common share equals common shareholders’ equity of $67,518 million at June 30, 2015 and $64,880 million at December 31, 2014 divided by common shares outstanding of 1,956 million at June 30, 2015 and 1,951 million at December 31, 2014.
(8)For a discussion of the Company’s methods for calculating its risk-based capital ratios and RWAs, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Regulatory Requirements” herein.
(9)Tier 1 leverage ratio equals Tier 1 capital (calculated under U.S. Basel III Transitional rules) divided by the average daily balance of consolidated on-balance sheet assets under U.S. GAAP, adjusted for disallowed goodwill, transitional intangible assets, certain deferred tax assets, certain investments in the capital instruments of unconsolidated financial institutions and other adjustments (see Note 12 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1).

(12)From time to time, the Company may disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures” in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines a “non-GAAP financial measure” as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial positions, or cash flows that excludes, or includes, amounts or is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude, or include, amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with further transparency about, or as an alternative method for assessing, the Company’s financial condition and operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever the Company refers to a non-GAAP financial measure, the Company will also generally define or present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure and the U.S. GAAP financial measure.

(13)Pre-tax profit margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company considers to be a useful measure to the Company and investors to assess operating performance. Percentages represent income from continuing operations before income taxes as a percentage of net revenues.
(14)The computation of average common equity for each business segment is determined using the Company’s Required Capital framework, an internal capital adequacy measure (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Regulatory Requirements—Required Capital” herein). Average common equity for each business segment is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company considers to be a useful measure to the Company and investors to assess capital adequacy.
(15)The calculation of return on average common equity from continuing operations and return on average common equity uses income from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley less preferred dividends as a percentage of average common equity. The annualized return on average common equity from continuing operations and annualized return on average common equity, excluding DVA, and excluding DVA and net discrete tax benefit, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company considers useful for investors to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. To determine the return on average common equity, excluding DVA, and excluding DVA and net discrete tax benefit, both the numerator and denominator were adjusted to exclude those items. The calculation of each business segment’s return on average common equity uses income from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley less preferred dividends as a percentage of each business segment’s average common equity. The effective tax rates used in the computation of each business segments’ return on average common equity were determined on a separate legal entity basis.
(16)Average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company considers to be a useful measure to the Company and investors to assess capital adequacy. For a discussion of tangible common equity, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Tangible Equity” herein.
(17)Annualized return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company considers to be a useful measure to the Company and investors to assess capital adequacy. The calculation of return on average tangible common equity uses income from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley less preferred dividends as a percentage of average tangible common equity. To determine the return on average tangible common equity, excluding the impact of DVA, also a non-GAAP financial measure, both the numerator and the denominator were adjusted to exclude the impact of DVA. The impact of DVA for the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 0.9% and 0.7%, respectively, and the impact of DVA for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 0.9% and 0.8%, respectively.
(18)Tangible book value per common share equals tangible common equity of $57,778 million at June 30, 2015 and $55,138 million at December 31, 2014 divided by common shares outstanding of 1,956 million at June 30, 2015 and 1,951 million at December 31, 2014. Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company considers to be a useful measure that the Company and investors use to assess capital adequacy.

Return on Equity Goal.

The Company is aiming to improve its returns to shareholders with a goal of achieving a sustainable 10% or more return on average common equity excluding DVA (“Return on Equity”) over time, subject to the successful execution of its strategic objectives. For further information on the Company’s Return on Equity goal, see “Other Matters—Return on Equity Goal” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Global Market and Economic Conditions.

Global growth was supported by a rebound in the U.S. and firmer growth in the euro zone and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), which was partially offset by continued sluggishness in major emerging market economies, including China and Brazil, and slower growth in Japan after a strong first quarter of 2015. Prior declines in energy prices kept developed economies market inflation running near 0% in the second quarter of 2015 but with a move up from slightly negative to slightly positive annual rates in the U.S., euro zone, and the U.K. China continued to experience entrenched producer price index deflation, while other emerging market economies showed mixed inflation trends. Global equity markets showed little change in the aggregate from March 31, 2015 to June 30, 2015 but with mixed trends across regions.

In the U.S., after a revised 0.6% increase in real gross domestic product (“GDP”) in the first quarter of 2015, the second quarter of 2015 GDP increased to a 2.3% growth rate. In addition to reversals of temporary factors which inhibited growth in the first quarter of 2015, GDP growth in the second quarter of 2015 was supported by a reduced impact from net exports as the U.S. dollar stabilized and a delayed pickup in consumer spending. Labor market improvement continued in the second quarter of 2015 at a gradual pace. Nonfarm payroll employment growth averaged 221,000 in the three months through June 30, 2015, after slowing to 195,000 in the first three months of 2015. The unemployment rate declined to 5.3% in June 2015 from 5.5% in March 2015, driven in part because of a further decline to a multi-decade low in the labor force participation rate. At its June 2015 meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) maintained that it continues to see the risks to the outlook for economic activity and the labor market as nearly balanced and anticipates that it will be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate when it has seen further improvement in the labor market and is reasonably confident that inflation will move back to its 2% objective over the medium term. As of June 30, 2015, the federal funds rate target range remained between 0.00% and 0.25%, while the discount rate remained at 0.75%, unchanged from March 31, 2015. The S&P 500 stock index declined 0.23% with the Dow Jones Industrial Average lower by 0.88% while the NASDAQ Composite index registered a gain of 1.75% during the second quarter of 2015. The 10-year Treasury note yield rose to 2.33% from 1.93% during the same period.

In Europe, favorable financial conditions were aided by the European Central Bank’s (“ECB”) quantitative easing (“QE”) program. A weaker euro supported continued improvement in growth during the second quarter of 2015, led by Germany, but protracted negotiations over extending the Greece bailout increased uncertainties in late June of 2015. The STOXX Europe 600 index fell 4.0% in the second quarter of 2015 after rising 16.0% in the first quarter of 2015 and peaking on April 16, 2015. The 10-year German Bund yield rose to 0.76% on June 30, 2015 from 0.15% on March 31, 2015 after reaching a record low of 0.07% on April 20, 2015, as expectations for how long ECB QE and near zero short-term interest rates would be maintained were paired with the move in euro zone inflation from a slightly negative annual rate to slightly positive. Major European stock indices were lower at the end of the second quarter of 2015. The U.K. FTSE 100 index was lower by 3.72%, the DAX 30 index in Germany was lower by 8.53% and the CAC 40 index in France was also lower by 4.84%.

In Japan, weakness in industrial production pointed to a decline in GDP growth in the second quarter of 2015, after a 3.9% annualized rise in the first quarter of 2015, hurt by a slowdown in emerging Asian demand and lingering sluggishness in domestic demand for durable goods in the aftermath of last year’s consumption tax hike. The Nikkei equity index rose 5.36% in the second quarter of 2015, and the 10-year Japanese Government Bond yield rose to 0.45% at June 30, 2015 from 0.40% at March 31, 2015.

Growth in emerging market economies in aggregate remained challenged in the second quarter of 2015 by cyclical and structural headwinds. Cyclical headwinds included slower growth in China, lower commodity prices, and risks looking ahead to the expected start of U.S. monetary policy normalization, while structural headwinds included demographic challenges and high debt levels. In China, for the second quarter of 2015, GDP growth was 7%, as continued sluggish growth in industrial production, retail sales, fixed asset investment and exports and imports prompted a series of policy easing steps. The People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) announced a 100 basis point reduction in the required reserve ratio (“RRR”) effective April 20, 2015 for all depository financial institutions, an additional 100 basis point reduction in the RRR for rural financial institutions, and a 200 basis point reduction in the RRR for China Agriculture Development Bank. Subsequently, effective May 11, 2015, the PBOC announced a reduction in the benchmark one-year lending rate by 25 basis points, to 5.10%, as well as the one-year deposit rate by 25 basis points, to 2.25%. Then, effective June 28, 2015, the PBOC announced a reduction in the benchmark one-year lending rate by 25 basis points to 4.85% and the one-year deposit rate by 25 basis points to 2.00%, while also cutting the RRR applied on qualified financial institutions with a focus on rural and small business loans by 50 basis points and on finance companies by 300 basis points. The last of those reductions came along with a number of government and regulatory steps implemented to attempt to slow a pullback in stock prices. The Shanghai Composite index rose 37.8% from March 31, 2015 to June 12, 2015 but then fell 17.2% from June 12, 2015 to June 30, 2015 for a net rise of 19.37% in the second quarter of 2015.

Business Segments.

Substantially all of the Company’s operating revenues and operating expenses are directly attributable to its business segments. Certain revenues and expenses have been allocated to each business segment, generally in proportion to its respective net revenues, non-interest expenses or other relevant measures.

As a result of treating certain intersegment transactions as transactions with external parties, the Company includes an Intersegment Eliminations category to reconcile the business segment results to the Company’s consolidated results. Intersegment Eliminations also reflect the effect of fees paid by the Company’s Institutional Securities business segment to the Company’s Wealth Management business segment related to the bank deposit program.

Net Revenues.

(1)Source: Thomson Reuters, data at July 16, 2015. Announced and completed mergers and acquisitions volumes are based on full credit to each of the advisors in a transaction. Equity and equity-related offerings and fixed income offerings are based on full credit for single book managers and equal credit for joint book managers. Transaction volumes may not be indicative of net revenues in a given period. In addition, transaction volumes for prior periods may vary from amounts previously reported due to the subsequent withdrawal or change in the value of a transaction.
(2)Amounts include transactions of $100 million or more. Announced mergers and acquisitions exclude terminated transactions.
(3)Amounts include Rule 144A and public common stock, convertible and rights offerings.
(4)Amounts include non-convertible preferred stock, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and taxable municipal debt. Amounts also include publicly registered and Rule 144A issues. Amounts exclude leveraged loans and self-led issuances.

Investment banking revenues during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were essentially unchanged from the comparable period of 2014. Compared with the prior year period, the underwriting environment continued to be favorable and industry-wide announced merger, acquisition and restructuring transactions (“M&A”) volume increased globally. Advisory revenues from M&A were $423 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, a modest increase of 1% from the comparable period of 2014. Overall, underwriting revenues of $1,017 million were essentially unchanged from the comparable period of 2014 from $1,014 million.

Investment banking revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 2% from the comparable period in 2014 driven by higher advisory revenues partially offset by lower underwriting revenues. Advisory revenues increased 19% led by M&A in the Americas. Underwriting revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased 5% to $1,719 million from the comparable period of 2014. Fixed income underwriting revenues decreased 9% to $923 million, primarily driven by lower loan revenues. Equity underwriting revenues decreased 1% to $796 million as initial public offering activity decreased.

Equity sales and trading net revenues, excluding the impact of DVA, increased 27% to $2,270 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from the comparable period in 2014, reflecting strong results across prime brokerage, derivatives and cash equities products as well as across regions, particularly in Asia. Higher client balances and improved client activity primarily drove the increase in prime brokerage results. The increase in derivatives and cash equities reflected favorable market conditions.

Fixed Income and Commodities.    Fixed income and commodities sales and trading net revenues increased 30% to $1,377 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $1,061 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Results during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 included positive revenues of $110 million due to the impact of DVA compared with positive revenues of $50 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Excluding the impact of DVA, fixed income and commodities sales and trading net revenues increased 25% to $1,267 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $1,011 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 primarily reflecting higher fixed income product net revenues. Fixed income product net revenues, excluding the impact of DVA, during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased 41% from the comparable period of 2014 as higher revenues in interest rate and foreign exchange products, which reflected increased levels of client activity across regions, were partially offset by lower results in credit and securitized products. Commodity net revenues, excluding the impact of DVA, during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 decreased 37% from the comparable period of 2014, primarily reflecting lower levels of client demand for structured transactions in natural gas and power in North America, partially offset by improved revenues from oil products.

Fixed income and commodities sales and trading net revenues during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 included gains of $104 million, net of hedges, related to credit valuation adjustments (“CVA”) and funding valuation adjustments (“FVA”) as a result of changes in the fair value of net derivative contracts attributable to counterparties’ credit default swap (“CDS”) spreads. The Company’s CDS spreads and other factors compared with losses of $38 million, net of hedges, during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The Company began incorporating FVA into the fair value measurements of over-the-counter (“OTC”) uncollateralized and certain other derivatives during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Other.    During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, other sales and trading recognized negative net revenues of $215 million compared with negative net revenues of $241 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Results in both periods included losses related to negative carry, losses on economic hedges and other costs related to the Company’s long-term borrowings and net revenues from corporate loans and lending commitments.

Sales and Trading Net Revenues during the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015.

Total sales and trading net revenues increased 29% to $7,587 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $5,887 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Equity.    Equity sales and trading net revenues increased 29% to $4,635 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from the comparable period in 2014. Equity sales and trading net revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2015 included positive revenues of $97 million due to the impact of DVA compared with positive revenues of $87 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Equity sales and trading net revenues, excluding the impact of DVA, increased 30% to $4,538 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from the comparable period in 2014, reflecting strong results across products as well as across regions. Improved results in derivatives and cash equities reflected favorable market conditions and increased client activity, while higher client balances primarily drove the increase in prime brokerage results.

Fixed Income and Commodities.    Fixed income and commodities sales and trading net revenues increased 21% to $3,380 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $2,791 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Results during the six months ended June 30, 2015 included positive revenues of $210 million due to the impact of DVA compared with positive revenues of $126 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Excluding the impact of DVA, fixed income and commodities sales and trading net revenues increased 19% to $3,170 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $2,665 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Fixed income product net revenues, excluding the impact of DVA, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 30% from the comparable period of 2014 as higher revenues in interest rate and foreign exchange products, which reflected increased levels of client activity across regions, were partially offset by lower results in credit and securitized products. Commodity net revenues, excluding the impact of DVA, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased 8% from the comparable period of 2014, primarily reflecting lower levels of client demand for structured transactions in natural gas and power and the absence of revenues from TransMontaigne Inc., which was sold on July 1, 2014 partially offset by increased volatility in oil liquid markets.

Fixed income and commodities sales and trading net revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2015 included gains of $110 million, net of hedges, related to CVA and FVA as a result of changes in the fair value of net derivative contracts attributable to counterparties’ CDS spreads. The Company’s CDS spreads and other factors compared with losses of $50 million, net of hedges, during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Other.    During the six months ended June 30, 2015, other sales and trading recognized negative net revenues of $428 million compared with negative net revenues of $485 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Results in both periods included losses related to negative carry, losses on economic hedges and other costs related to the Company’s long-term borrowings and net revenues from corporate loans and lending commitments.

Other Revenues.    Other revenues increased to $212 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $108 million during the comparable period of 2014, reflecting fees and gains associated with corporate loans and higher results arising from the Company’s 40% stake in Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd. (“MUMSS”).

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, other revenues increased to $302 million from $299 million for the comparable period of 2014, driven by fees and gains associated with corporate loans as well as higher results arising from the Company’s 40% stake in MUMSS. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 also included the sale of property related to TransMontaigne Inc., as well as a gain on the sale of Canterm Canadian Terminals Inc. of approximately $45 million (see Note 1 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item1). For a discussion on income arising from the Company’s 40% stake in MUMSS, see Note 19 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1.

Non-interest Expenses.    Non-interest expenses during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 8% and 10%, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2014. The increase in both periods was driven by increases in both compensation and non-compensation expenses. Compensation and benefits expenses increased 10% in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 from the comparable periods of 2014, primarily due to an increase in discretionary incentive compensation driven by higher revenues and the reduction of average deferral rates for discretionary incentive based awards, partially offset by a decrease in amortization due to accelerated vesting of certain awards during the fourth quarter of 2014. Non-compensation expenses during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased 6% from the comparable period of 2014, primarily driven by higher transaction related expenses driven by increased levels of client activity and professional services costs, including legal and consulting fees, which were partially offset by lower accruals for litigation and settlements. Non-compensation expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 10% from the comparable period of 2014. The increase was driven by higher professional services costs, including legal and consulting fees, as well as higher transaction related expenses, which were partially offset by lower occupancy and information processing expenses.

Nonredeemable Noncontrolling Interests.

Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests primarily relate to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.’s interest in Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities Co., Ltd. (see Note 19 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1).

Global Oil Merchanting Business.

As a result of entering into a definitive agreement to sell the global oil merchanting unit of the commodities division to Castleton Commodities International LLC, on May 11, 2015, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $59 million in Other revenues during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, to reduce the carrying amount of the unit to its estimated fair value less costs to sell. The transaction does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company expects to close the transaction during the second half of 2015.

Wealth Management earns fees based on a contractual percentage of fee-based client assets related to certain account types, which are offered to Wealth Management clients. These fees, which the Company records in the Asset management, distribution and administrative fees line on its income statement, are earned based on the client assets in the specific account types in which the client participates and are generally not driven by asset class. Across the account types, the fees will vary based on both the distinct services provided within each account type and on the level of household assets under supervision in Wealth Management. The following tables present fee-based client assets activity and average fee rate by account type in the Company’s Wealth Management business segment for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

(10)Cash management—Accounts where the advisor provides discretionary cash management services to institutional clients whereby securities or proceeds are invested and re-invested in accordance with the client’s investment criteria. Generally, the portfolio will be invested in short-term fixed income and cash equivalent investments.

Wealth Management JV.    On June 28, 2013, the Company completed the purchase of the remaining 35% stake in the retail securities joint venture between the Company and Citi (the “Wealth Management JV”) for $4.725 billion. As the 100% owner of the Wealth Management JV, the Company retains all of the related net income previously applicable to the noncontrolling interests in the Wealth Management JV and benefits from the termination of certain related debt and operating agreements with the Wealth Management JV partner.

Concurrent with the acquisition of the remaining 35% stake in the Wealth Management JV, the deposit sweep agreement between Citi and the Company was terminated. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, $4.3 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively, of deposits held by Citi relating to the Company’s customer accounts were transferred to the Company’s depository institutions. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, $4.6 billion and $9.5 billion, respectively, of deposits held by Citi relating to the Company’s customer accounts were transferred to the Company’s depository institutions. At June 30, 2015, the transfer of deposits from Citi to the Company was completed.

For further information, see Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Transactional.

Investment Banking.    Investment banking revenues decreased 13% to $186 million and decreased 4% to $378 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2014, primarily due to lower revenues from the distribution of underwritten offerings.

Trading.    Trading revenues decreased 27% to $196 million and decreased 21% to $428 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2014, primarily due to lower revenues from fixed income products and lower gains related to investments associated with certain employee deferred compensation plans.

Commissions and Fees.    Commissions and fees revenues decreased 4% to $490 million and decreased 3% to $1,016 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2014, primarily due to lower revenues from equity and annuity products. Results in the six months ended June 30, 2015 were partially offset by higher revenues from alternatives asset classes.

Asset Management.

Asset Management, Distribution and Administration Fees.    Asset management, distribution and administration fees increased 6% to $2,174 million and increased 6% to $4,289 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2014, primarily due to higher fee-based revenues due to higher client balances driven by positive flows and market conditions, partially offset by lower revenues from referral fees from the bank deposit program, reflecting the transfer of deposits to the Company from Citi.

Balances in the bank deposit program were $132.5 billion at June 30, 2015 and $137.3 billion at December 31, 2014, which included deposits held by the Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks of $132.5 billion at June 30, 2015 and $128.2 billion at December 31, 2014.

Client assets in fee-based accounts increased to $813 billion and represented 40% of total client assets at June 30, 2015 compared with $785 billion and 39% at December 31, 2014, respectively. Total client asset balances increased to $2,034 billion at June 30, 2015 from $2,025 billion at December 31, 2014, primarily due to higher

fee-based asset flows and the impact of market conditions. Fee-based client asset flows for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were $13.9 billion compared with $12.5 billion in the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Net Interest.

Net interest increased 28% to $737 million and increased 28% to $1,426 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 from the comparable periods of 2014, primarily due to higher balances in the bank deposit program and growth in loans and lending commitments. Total client liability balances, which include margin lending, increased to $58 billion at June 30, 2015 from $51 billion at December 31, 2014, primarily due to higher growth from Portfolio Loan Account (“PLA”) securities-based lending products and residential mortgage loans. The loans and lending commitments in the Company’s Wealth Management business segment have grown in the six months ended June 30, 2015, and the Company expects this trend to continue. See “Supplemental Financial Information and Disclosures—U.S. Subsidiary Banks Lending Activities” herein and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Credit Risk—Lending Activities” in Item 3.

Other.

Other revenues were $79 million and $157 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared with $78 million and $141 million in the comparable periods of 2014, respectively. The increase in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily reflected higher gains on sales of investment securities.

Non-interest Expenses.    Non-interest expenses increased 2% in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2014. Compensation and benefits expenses increased 1% and 2% in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2014, primarily due to a higher formulaic payout to Wealth Management representatives linked to higher compensable revenues partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of deferred compensation plan referenced investments. Non-compensation expenses increased 5% and 2% in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2014, primarily due to an increase in professional services, primarily consulting and legal fees, and occupancy and equipment expenses.

(3)Distributions represent decreases in invested capital due to returns of capital after the investment period of a fund. It also includes fund dividends for which the client has not elected to reinvest.
(4)Market impact includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on portfolio investments. This excludes any funds where market impact does not impact management fees.
(5)Foreign currency impact reflects foreign currency changes for non-U.S. dollar denominated funds.
(6)The average fee rate is based on asset management and administration fees, net of waivers. It excludes performance-based fees and other non-management fees. For certain non-U.S. funds it includes the portion of advisory fees that the Advisor collects on behalf of third-party distributors. The payment of those fees to the distributor is included in Non-compensation expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.
(7)The Alternatives asset class includes a range of investment products such as funds of hedge funds, funds of private equity funds and funds of real estate funds.
(8)Assets under management or supervision for Merchant Banking and Real Estate Investing and Alternatives reflect the basis on which management fees are earned. This calculation excludes assets under management where no management fees are earned or where the fair value of these assets including unfunded commitments differ from the basis on which management fees are earned. Including these assets, assets under management at June 30, 2015 and 2014 for Merchant Banking and Real Estate Investing are $43 billion and $39 billion, respectively, and for Alternatives are $40 billion and $38 billion, respectively.

(10)Amounts represent the Company’s Investment Management business segment’s proportional share of assets managed by entities in which it owns a minority stake.

Trading.    The Company recognized losses of $6 million and $3 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared with losses of $6 million and $26 million in the comparable periods of 2014. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily reflected lower losses related to the deconsolidation of certain real estate funds sponsored by the Company.

Investments.    The Company recorded net investment gains of $232 million and $384 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared with gains of $163 million and $409 million in the comparable periods of 2014. The increase in the quarter ended June 30, 2015 primarily related to higher net investment gains in the Company’s Merchant Banking and Real Estate Investing business. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily related to lower net investment gains in the Company’s Merchant Banking and Real Estate Investing business due to the deconsolidation of certain legal entities associated with a real estate fund sponsored by the Company in the second quarter of 2014.

Asset Management, Distribution and Administration Fees.    Asset management, distribution and administration fees decreased 1% to $522 million and increased 2% to $1,036 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared with the comparable periods of 2014. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily reflected higher management and administration revenues, as a result of higher average assets under management. The Company’s average assets under management increased $19 billion from $386 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $405 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015, reflecting positive net flows and impact of market conditions.

Other.    Other revenues were $9 million and $14 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared with $26 million and $66 million in the comparable periods of 2014. The decrease reflected lower revenues associated with the Company’s minority investment in certain third-party investment managers in the current year period.

Non-interest Expenses.    Non-interest expenses increased 7% and 3% in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared with the comparable periods of 2014. Compensation and benefits expenses increased 5% in the quarter ended June 30, 2015, due to an increase in deferred compensation associated with carried interest and a reduction of average deferral rates for discretionary incentive based awards, partially offset by a decrease in amortization attributed to the accelerated vesting of certain awards during the fourth quarter of 2014. Compensation and benefits expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were essentially unchanged from the comparable period of 2014. Non-compensation expenses increased 10% and 8% in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared with the comparable periods of 2014, primarily due to higher other expenses as a result of increased accruals for litigation and settlements and lower consumption taxes in the European Union in the prior year quarter due to a receipt of a tax rebate.

Nonredeemable Noncontrolling Interests.

Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests are primarily related to the consolidation of certain real estate funds sponsored by the Company. Investment gains associated with noncontrolling interests in these consolidated funds were $1 million and $13 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared with gains of $7 million and $78 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014. Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests decreased in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to the deconsolidation of certain legal entities associated with real estate funds sponsored by the Company in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014.

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations was 0.8% and 18.6% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 included a net discrete tax benefit of $609 million principally associated with remeasurement of reserves and related interest due to new information regarding the status of a multi-year tax authority examination. Excluding this net discrete tax benefit, the effective tax rate from continuing operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 would have been 32.3% and 32.8%, respectively.

The effective tax rates excluding the net discrete tax benefits for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are reflective of the geographic mix of earnings.

Critical Accounting Policies.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions (see Note 1 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1). The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies (see Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of the 2014 Form 10-K and Note 2 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1), the fair value, goodwill and intangible assets, legal and regulatory contingencies and income taxes policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. For a further discussion about the Company’s critical accounting policies, see “MD&A—Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7, of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The Company’s senior management establishes liquidity and capital policies. Through various risk and control committees, the Company’s senior management reviews business performance relative to these policies, monitors the availability of alternative sources of financing, and oversees the liquidity, interest rate and currency sensitivity of the Company’s asset and liability position. The Company’s Treasury Department, Firm Risk Committee, Asset and Liability Management Committee, and other committees and control groups assist in evaluating, monitoring and controlling the impact that the Company’s business activities have on its condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, liquidity and capital structure. Liquidity and capital matters are reported regularly to the Board’s Risk Committee.

The Balance Sheet.

The Company monitors and evaluates the composition and size of its balance sheet on a regular basis. The Company’s balance sheet management process includes quarterly planning, business-specific limits, monitoring of business-specific usage versus limits, key metrics and new business impact assessments.

The Company establishes balance sheet limits at the consolidated, business segment and business unit levels. The Company monitors balance sheet usage versus limits, and variances resulting from business activity or market fluctuations are reviewed. On a regular basis, the Company reviews current performance versus limits and assesses the need to re-allocate limits based on business unit needs. The Company also monitors key metrics, including asset and liability size, composition of the balance sheet, limit utilization and capital usage.

(3)Investment securities include both AFS securities and HTM securities.
(4)Amounts include loans held for sale and loans held for investment but exclude loans at fair value, which are included in Trading assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition (see Note 7 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1).
(5)Other assets include Other investments; Premises, equipment and software costs; Goodwill; Intangible assets; and Other assets.

A substantial portion of the Company’s total assets consists of liquid marketable securities and short-term receivables arising principally from sales and trading activities in the Company’s Institutional Securities business segment. The liquid nature of these assets provides the Company with flexibility in managing the size of its balance sheet. The Company’s total assets increased to $826 billion at June 30, 2015 from $802 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase in total assets was primarily due to increases in Securities purchased under agreements to resell, Loans, Customer and other receivables, and Securities borrowed, partially offset by decreases in Trading assets, Cash deposited with clearing organizations or segregated under federal and other regulations or requirements and Securities received as collateral.

The Company’s assets and liabilities include significant balances related to transactions attributable to sales and trading and securities financing activities. The following table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities held against securities financing transactions:

Securities borrowed or securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities loaned or securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as collateralized financings (see Notes 2 and 5 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1). The following table presents collateralized financing transactions at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the average balance for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Securities borrowed period-end balances at June 30, 2015 were slightly lower than the average balances during 2015. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Securities loaned period-end balances at June 30, 2015 were lower than the average balances during 2015 as there was a reduction in secured financing requirements.

Securities financing assets and liabilities also include matched book transactions with minimal market, credit and/or liquidity risk. Matched book transactions accommodate customers, as well as obtain securities for the settlement and financing of inventory positions. The customer receivable portion of the securities financing transactions includes customer margin loans, collateralized by customer-owned securities, and customer cash, which is segregated in accordance with regulatory requirements. The customer payable portion of the securities financing transactions primarily includes customer payables to the Company’s prime brokerage customers. The Company’s risk exposure on these transactions is mitigated by collateral maintenance policies that limit the Company’s credit exposure to customers. Included within securities financing assets were $15 billion at June 30, 2015 and $21 billion at December 31, 2014, recorded in accordance with accounting guidance for the transfer of financial assets that represented offsetting assets and liabilities for fully collateralized non-cash loan transactions.

Investment SecuritiesAvailable for Sale and Held to Maturity. 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company reported net unrealized gains (losses) of $(28) million and $236 million, net of tax, respectively, on its AFS securities portfolio. Unrealized gains (losses) in the AFS securities portfolio are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. The net unrealized gains (losses) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 primarily reflected changes in interest rates. The securities in the Company’s AFS securities portfolio with an unrealized loss were not other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015 and 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the net unrealized (losses) on the Company’s HTM securities were $(26) million. The Company held $2,423 million in HTM securities at June 30, 2015 and expects to grow its HTM securities portfolio. The Company did not have an HTM securities portfolio at June 30, 2014.

Liquidity Risk Management Framework.

The primary goal of the Company’s liquidity risk management framework is to ensure that the Company has access to adequate funding across a wide range of market conditions. The framework is designed to enable the Company to fulfill its financial obligations and support the execution of the Company’s business strategies.

The following principles guide the Company’s liquidity risk management framework:

 

  

Sufficient liquid assets should be maintained to cover maturing liabilities and other planned and contingent outflows;

 

 121 LOGO


Table of Contents
  

Maturity profile of assets and liabilities should be aligned, with limited reliance on short-term funding;

 

  

Source, counterparty, currency, region, and term of funding should be diversified; and

 

  

Contingency Funding Plan (“CFP”) should anticipate, and account for, periods of limited access to funding.

The core components of the Company’s liquidity risk management framework are the CFP, Liquidity Stress Tests and the Global Liquidity Reserve, which support the Company’s target liquidity profile. For a further discussion about the Company’s CFP and Liquidity Stress Tests, see “MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity Risk Management Framework” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Liquidity Stress Tests.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company maintained sufficient liquidity to meet current and contingent funding obligations as modeled in its Liquidity Stress Tests.

Global Liquidity Reserve.

The Company maintains sufficient liquidity reserves (“Global Liquidity Reserve”) to cover daily funding needs and to meet strategic liquidity targets sized by the CFP and Liquidity Stress Tests. For further discussion of the Company’s Global Liquidity Reserve, see “MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity Risk Management Framework—Global Liquidity Reserve” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Basel Liquidity Framework.

The U.S. banking agencies and the Basel Committee have adopted, or are in the process of considering, liquidity standards. The Basel Committee has developed two standards intended for use in liquidity risk supervision: the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (“NSFR”).

For a discussion of the Company’s LCR and NSFR, see “MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity Risk Management Framework—Basel Liquidity Framework—Liquidity Coverage Ratio and Net Stable Funding Ratio” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Funding Management.

The Company manages its funding in a manner that reduces the risk of disruption to the Company’s operations. The Company pursues a strategy of diversification of secured and unsecured funding sources (by product, by investor and by region) and attempts to ensure that the tenor of the Company’s liabilities equals or exceeds the expected holding period of the assets being financed.

The Company funds its balance sheet on a global basis through diverse sources. These sources may include the Company’s equity capital, long-term debt, repurchase agreements, securities lending, deposits, commercial paper, letters of credit and lines of credit. The Company has active financing programs for both standard and structured products targeting global investors and currencies.

Secured Financing. 

For a discussion of the Company’s secured financing activities, see “MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Funding Management—Secured Financing” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2014 Form 10-K.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the weighted average maturity of the Company’s secured financing against less liquid assets was greater than 120 days.

Unsecured Financing

For a discussion of the Company’s unsecured financing activities, see “MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Funding Management—Unsecured Financing” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2014 Form 10-K. When appropriate, the Company may use derivative products to conduct asset and liability management and to make adjustments to the Company’s interest rate and structured borrowings risk profile (see Note 10 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1).

Deposits.

Available funding sources to the Company’s bank subsidiaries include time deposits, money market deposit accounts, demand deposit accounts, repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, commercial paper and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The vast majority of deposits in the Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks are sourced from the Company’s retail brokerage accounts and are considered to have stable, low-cost funding characteristics. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, $4.3 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively, of deposits held by Citi relating to the Company’s customer accounts from its acquisition of the Wealth Management JV (see Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of the 2014 Form 10-K) were transferred to the Company’s depository institutions. At June 30, 2015, the transfer of deposits from Citi to the Company was completed.

Deposits were as follows:

(1)Total deposits subject to FDIC insurance at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $103 billion and $99 billion, respectively.

Short-Term Borrowings. 

The Company’s unsecured Short-term borrowings may consist of bank loans, bank notes, commercial paper and structured notes with maturities of twelve months or less at issuance. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $3,122 million and $2,261 million, respectively, in Short-term borrowings.

Long-Term Borrowings. 

The Company believes that accessing debt investors through multiple distribution channels helps provide consistent access to the unsecured markets. In addition, the issuance of long-term debt allows the Company to reduce reliance on short-term credit sensitive instruments (e.g., commercial paper and other unsecured short-term borrowings). Long-term borrowings are generally managed to achieve staggered maturities, thereby mitigating refinancing risk, and to maximize investor diversification through sales to global institutional and retail clients across regions, currencies and product types. Availability and cost of financing to the Company can vary depending on market conditions, the volume of certain trading and lending activities, the Company’s credit ratings and the overall availability of credit.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued notes with a principal amount of approximately $22.9 billion. In connection with these note issuances, the Company generally enters into certain transactions to obtain floating interest rates. The weighted average maturity of the Company’s long-term borrowings, based upon stated maturity dates, was approximately 5.9 years at June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, approximately $13.0 billion in aggregate long-term borrowings matured or were retired. Subsequent to June 30, 2015 and through July 31, 2015, the Company’s long-term borrowings increased by approximately $1.8 billion, net of repayments and maturities. This amount includes the Company’s issuance of $3.0 billion in senior debt on July 23, 2015. For a further discussion of the Company’s long-term borrowings, including the amount of senior debt outstanding at June 30, 2015, see Note 9 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1.

During May of 2015, Morgan Stanley Capital Trusts VI and VII redeemed all of their issued and outstanding 6.60% Capital Securities.

Capital Covenants.

In April 2007, the Company executed replacement capital covenants in connection with an offering by Morgan Stanley Capital Trust VIII Capital Securities, which become effective after the scheduled redemption date in 2046. Under the terms of the replacement capital covenants, the Company has agreed, for the benefit of certain specified holders of debt, to limitations on its ability to redeem or repurchase any of the Capital Securities for specified periods of time. For a complete description of the Capital Securities and the terms of the replacement capital covenants, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 26, 2007.

Credit Ratings.

The Company relies on external sources to finance a significant portion of its day-to-day operations. The cost and availability of financing generally are impacted by, among other things, the Company’s credit ratings. In addition, the Company’s credit ratings can have an impact on certain trading revenues, particularly in those

businesses where longer-term counterparty performance is a key consideration, such as OTC derivative transactions, including credit derivatives and interest rate swaps. Rating agencies consider company-specific factors; other industry factors such as regulatory or legislative changes; the macroeconomic environment; and perceived levels of government support, among other things.

Some rating agencies have stated that they currently incorporate various degrees of credit rating uplift from external sources of potential support, as well as perceived government support of systemically important banks, including the credit ratings of the Company. Rating agencies continue to monitor the progress of U.S. financial reform legislation and regulations to assess whether the possibility of extraordinary government support for the financial system in any future financial crises is negatively impacted. Legislative and rulemaking outcomes may lead to reduced uplift assumptions for U.S. banks and, thereby, place downward pressure on credit ratings. At the same time, proposed and final U.S. financial reform legislation and attendant rulemaking, such as higher standards for capital and liquidity levels, also have positive implications for credit ratings. The net result on credit ratings and the timing of any change in rating agency views on changes in potential government support and financial reform efforts are currently uncertain.

At July 31, 2015, the Parent’s and MSBNA’s senior unsecured ratings were as set forth below:

(1)On May 19, 2015, Fitch Ratings Inc. upgraded the long-term ratings of MSBNA by one notch to A+ from A. The rating outlook remained stable.
(2)On May 28, 2015, Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) upgraded the long-term ratings of the Parent and MSBNA by two notches to A3 from Baa2 and A1 from A3, respectively. The rating outlook for the Parent and MSBNA were revised to stable.
(3)On July 23, 2015, Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) revised the ratings outlook on MSBNA to positive from stable.

In connection with certain OTC trading agreements and certain other agreements where the Company is a liquidity provider to certain financing vehicles associated with the Company’s Institutional Securities business segment, the Company may be required to provide additional collateral or immediately settle any outstanding liability balances with certain counterparties or pledge additional collateral to certain exchanges and clearing organizations in the event of a future credit rating downgrade irrespective of whether the Company is in a net asset or net liability position.

The additional collateral or termination payments that may be called in the event of a future credit rating downgrade vary by contract and can be based on ratings by either or both of Moody’s and S&P. At June 30, 2015, the future potential collateral amounts and termination payments that could be called or required by counterparties or exchanges and clearing organizations in the event of one-notch or two-notch downgrade scenarios, from the lowest of Moody’s or S&P ratings, based on the relevant contractual downgrade triggers were $1,336 million and an incremental $1,441 million, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the comparative requirements were $1,856 million and an incremental $2,984 million, respectively.

While certain aspects of a credit rating downgrade are quantifiable pursuant to contractual provisions, the impact it will have on the Company’s business and results of operation in future periods is inherently uncertain and will depend on a number of interrelated factors, including, among others, the magnitude of the downgrade, the rating relative to peers, the rating assigned by the relevant agency pre-downgrade, individual client behavior and future mitigating actions the Company may take. The liquidity impact of additional collateral requirements is included in the Company’s Liquidity Stress Tests.

Capital Management.

The Company’s senior management views capital as an important source of financial strength. The Company actively manages its consolidated capital position based upon, among other things, business opportunities, risks, capital availability and rates of return together with internal capital policies, regulatory requirements and rating agency guidelines and, therefore, in the future may expand or contract its capital base to address the changing needs of its businesses. The Company attempts to maintain total capital, on a consolidated basis, at least equal to the sum of its operating subsidiaries’ required equity.

In March 2015, the Company received no objection from the Federal Reserve to its 2015 capital plan. The capital plan included a share repurchase of up to $3.1 billion of the Company’s outstanding common stock that began in the second quarter of 2015 through the end of the second quarter of 2016. Additionally, the capital plan included an increase in the Company’s quarterly common stock dividend to $0.15 per share from $0.10 per share, that began with the dividend declared on April 20, 2015. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 the Company repurchased approximately $625 million and $875 million, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding common stock as part of its share repurchase program. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately $284 million and $434 million, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding common stock as part of its share repurchase program (see Note 13 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1).

The Company has sufficient authorization for the proposed share repurchases pursuant to the capital plan under its existing share repurchase program for capital management purposes. Pursuant to the share repurchase program, the Company considers, among other things, business segment capital needs as well as equity-based compensation and benefit plan requirements. Share repurchases under the Company’s program will be exercised from time to time at prices the Company deems appropriate subject to various factors, including the Company’s capital position and market conditions. The share repurchases may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans, and may be suspended at any time. Share repurchases by the Company are subject to regulatory approval (see also Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Uses of Proceeds” in Part II, Item 2).

The Company’s Board of Directors determines the declaration and payment of dividends on a quarterly basis. On July 20, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend per common share of $0.15. The dividend is payable on August 14, 2015 to common shareholders of record on July 31, 2015 (see Note 20 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1).

Issuance of Preferred Stock.

Series J Preferred Stock.    On March 19, 2015, the Company issued 1,500,000 Depositary Shares for an aggregate price of $1,500 million. Each Depositary Share represents a 1/25th interest in a share of perpetual Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series J, $0.01 par value (“Series J Preferred Stock”). The Series J Preferred Stock is redeemable at the Company’s option (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after July 15, 2020 or (ii) in whole but not in part at any time within 90 days following a regulatory capital treatment event (as described in the terms of that series), in each case at a redemption price of $25,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per Depositary Share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends. The Series J Preferred Stock also has a preference over the Company’s common stock upon liquidation. The Series J Preferred Stock offering (net of related issuance costs) resulted in proceeds of approximately $1,493 million.

Regulatory Requirements.

Regulatory Capital Framework.

The Company is a financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is subject to the regulation and oversight of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve establishes capital requirements for the Company, including well-capitalized standards, and evaluates the Company’s compliance with such capital requirements. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) establishes similar capital requirements and standards for the Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks.

Implementation of U.S. Basel III.

The U.S. banking regulators have comprehensively revised their risk-based and leverage capital framework to implement many aspects of the Basel III capital standards established by the Basel Committee. The U.S. banking regulators’ revised capital framework is referred to herein as “U.S. Basel III.” The Company and its U.S. Subsidiary Banks became subject to U.S. Basel III on January 1, 2014. Aspects of U.S. Basel III, such as the minimum risk-based capital ratio requirements, new capital buffers, and certain deductions from and adjustments to capital, will be phased in over several years.

Regulatory Capital.    Under U.S. Basel III, new items (including certain investments in the capital instruments of unconsolidated financial institutions) are deducted from the respective tiers of regulatory capital, and certain existing regulatory deductions and adjustments are modified or are no longer applicable. The majority of these capital deductions are subject to a phase-in schedule and will be fully phased in by 2018. Unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities are reflected in Common Equity Tier 1 capital, subject to a phase-in schedule. The percentage of the regulatory deductions and adjustments to Common Equity Tier 1 capital that applied to the Company at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 ranged from 20% to 100%, depending on the specific item.

Table of Contents

In addition, U.S. Basel III narrows the eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments. Existing trust preferred securities will be fully phased-out of the Company’s Tier 1 capital by January 1, 2016. Thereafter, existing trust preferred securities that do not satisfy U.S. Basel III’s eligibility criteria for Tier 2 capital will be phased out of the Company’s regulatory capital by January 1, 2022.

Risk-Weighted Assets.    The Company is required to calculate and hold capital against credit, market and operational risk RWAs. RWAs reflect both on- and off-balance sheet risk of the Company. Credit risk RWAs reflect capital charges attributable to the risk of loss arising from a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its financial obligations. Market risk RWAs reflect capital charges attributable to the risk of loss resulting from adverse changes in market prices and other factors. For a further discussion of the Company’s market and credit risks, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Item 3. Operational risk RWAs reflect capital charges attributable to the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed processes, people and systems or from external events (e.g., fraud, theft, legal and compliance risks or damage to physical assets). The Company may incur operational risks across the full scope of its business activities, including revenue-generating activities (e.g., sales and trading) and control groups (e.g., information technology and trade processing). In addition, given the evolving regulatory and litigation environment across the financial services industry and that operational risk RWAs incorporate the impact of such related matters, operational risk RWAs may increase in future periods.

The Basel Committee is in the process of considering revisions to various provisions of the Basel III framework that, if adopted by the U.S. banking agencies, could result in substantial changes to U.S. Basel III. In particular, the Basel Committee has finalized a new methodology for calculating counterparty credit risk exposures, the standardized approach for measuring counterparty credit risk exposures; has also finalized a revised framework establishing capital requirements for securitizations; and has proposed revisions to various regulatory capital standards, including for trading and banking book exposures, interest rate risk in the banking book, the credit valuation adjustment, the credit risk framework, operational risk and capital floors. In each case, the impact of these revised standards on the Company and its U.S. Subsidiary Banks is uncertain and depends on future rulemakings by the U.S. banking agencies.

Calculation of Risk-Based Capital Ratios.    As a U.S. Basel III Advanced Approach banking organization, the Company is subject to a permanent “capital floor” based on the lower of the risk-based capital ratios calculated using (i) standardized approaches for calculating credit risk RWAs and market risk RWAs (the “Standardized Approach”); and (ii) an advanced internal ratings-based approach for calculating credit risk RWAs, an advanced measurement approach for calculating operational risk RWAs, and an advanced approach for calculating market risk RWAs (the “Advanced Approach”) under U.S. Basel III. The capital floor applies to the calculation of the minimum risk-based capital requirements and, when in effect, the capital conservation buffer, the countercyclical capital buffer (if deployed by banking regulators), and the global systemically important bank (“G-SIB”) capital buffer.

The methods for calculating each of the Company’s risk-based capital ratios will change through January 1, 2022 as aspects of U.S. Basel III are phased in. These ongoing methodological changes may result in differences in the Company’s reported capital ratios from one reporting period to the next that are independent of changes to the Company’s capital base, asset composition, off-balance sheet exposures or risk profile.

For information on the basis for the calculation of the Company’s U.S. Basel III capital ratios, on a transitional and fully phased-in basis, see “MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Regulatory Requirements—Implementation of U.S. Basel III—Calculation of Risk-Based Capital Ratios” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Regulatory Capital Ratios.    The Company is required to calculate capital ratios under both the Advanced Approach and the Standardized Approach, in both cases subject to transitional provisions. The following table presents the Company’s regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2015, as well as the minimum required regulatory capital ratios applicable under U.S. Basel III in 2015.

 

   At June 30, 2015  Minimum Regulatory
Capital Ratio(1)(2)
 
   Actual Capital Ratio

Total capital ratio

   19.1  18.7  8.0

Tier 1 leverage ratio(3)

   7.9  7.9  4.0

 

(1)Percentages represent minimum regulatory capital ratios for calendar year 2015 under U.S. Basel III.
(2)On a fully phased-in basis by 2019, the Company will be subject to a greater than 2.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer, a G-SIB capital surcharge and, if deployed by banking regulators, up to a 2.5% Common Equity Tier 1 countercyclical buffer. The capital conservation buffer, G-SIB capital surcharge, and countercyclical capital buffer, if any, apply over each of the Company’s Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital ratios. For information on the recently adopted G-SIB capital surcharge, see “G-SIB Capital Surcharge” herein.
(3)Tier 1 leverage ratio equals Tier 1 capital divided by the average daily balance of consolidated on-balance sheet assets under U.S. GAAP during the calendar quarter, adjusted for disallowed goodwill, transitional intangible assets, certain deferred tax assets, certain investments in the capital instruments of unconsolidated financial institutions and other adjustments.

Beginning on January 1, 2015, for the Company to remain a financial holding company, its U.S. Subsidiary Banks must qualify as “well-capitalized” under the higher capital requirements of U.S. Basel III by maintaining a total risk-based capital ratio (total capital to risk-weighted assets) of at least 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.5%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets minus certain amounts deducted from Tier 1 capital) of at least 5%. The Federal Reserve has not yet revised the “well-capitalized” standard for financial holding companies to reflect the higher capital standards in U.S. Basel III. Assuming that the Federal Reserve would apply the same or very similar well-capitalized standards to financial holding companies, each of the Company’s risk-based capital ratios and Tier 1 leverage ratio at June 30, 2015 would have exceeded the revised well-capitalized standard. The Federal Reserve may require the Company and its peer financial holding companies to maintain risk- and leverage-based capital ratios substantially in excess of mandated minimum levels, depending upon general economic conditions and a financial holding company’s particular condition, risk profile and growth plans.

At June 30, 2015, the Company’s capital ratios calculated under the U.S. Basel III Advanced Approach were lower than those calculated under the U.S. Basel III Standardized Approach and therefore are the binding ratios for the Company as a result of the capital floor. At December 31, 2014, the Company’s capital ratios calculated under the U.S. Basel III Advanced Approach were lower than those calculated under the Standardized Approach, represented as the U.S. banking regulators’ U.S. Basel I-based rules (“U.S. Basel I”) as supplemented by rules that implemented the Basel Committee’s market risk capital framework amendment, commonly referred to as “Basel 2.5”.

Pro Forma Regulatory Capital Ratios.    The following table presents the Company’s pro forma estimates under the fully phased-in U.S. Basel III Advanced and Standardized Approaches at June 30, 2015:

 

   At June 30, 2015 
   Fully Phased-In Basis Pro Forma  Estimates 
   U.S. Basel III
Advanced Approach
  U.S. Basel III
Standardized Approach
 
   (dollars in millions) 

Common Equity Tier 1 capital

RWAs

   427,307    419,899  

Common Equity Tier 1 ratio

   12.5  12.7

These fully phased-in basis pro forma estimates are based on the Company’s current understanding of U.S. Basel III and other factors, which may be subject to change as the Company receives additional clarification and implementation guidance from the Federal Reserve relating to U.S. Basel III and as the interpretation of the regulation evolves over time. The fully phased-in basis pro forma Common Equity Tier 1 capital, RWAs and Common Equity Tier 1 risked-based capital ratio estimates are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company considers to be useful measures for evaluating compliance with new regulatory capital requirements that were not yet effective at June 30, 2015. These preliminary estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially and should not be taken as a projection of what the Company’s capital ratios, RWAs, earnings or other results will actually be at future dates. See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the 2014 Form 10-K for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that may affect the future results of the Company.

As of January 1, 2015, the Company is subject to the following minimum capital ratios under U.S. Basel III: Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%; Total capital ratio of 8.0%; and Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. As of January 1, 2018, the Company will be subject to a supplementary leverage ratio requirement of 5.0%, which includes a Tier 1 supplementary leverage capital buffer of greater than 2.0% in addition to the 3.0% minimum supplementary leverage ratio (see “Supplementary Leverage Ratio” herein). In addition, on a fully phased-in basis by 2019, the Company will be subject to a greater than 2.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer and, if deployed by banking regulators, up to a 2.5% Common Equity Tier 1 countercyclical buffer. The capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, if any, apply over each of the Company’s Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital ratios. Failure to maintain such buffers will result in restrictions on the Company’s ability to make capital distributions, including the payment of dividends and the repurchase of stock, and to pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers. In July 2015, the Federal Reserve issued a final rule imposing risk-based capital surcharges, which augment the capital conservation buffer, on U.S. bank holding companies that are identified as G-SIBs (see “G-SIB Capital Surcharge” herein).

G-SIB Capital Surcharge.

In July 2015, the Federal Reserve issued a final rule imposing risk-based capital surcharges on U.S. bank holding companies that are identified as G-SIBs, which include the Company. Under the final rule, a G-SIB must calculate its G-SIB capital surcharge under two methods and use the higher of the two surcharges. The first method considers the G-SIB’s size, interconnectedness, cross-jurisdictional activity, substitutability and complexity, which is generally consistent with the methodology developed by the Basel Committee. The second method uses similar inputs, but replaces substitutability with use of short-term wholesale funding and generally would result in higher surcharges than the first method. Under the final rule, the G-SIB capital surcharge must be satisfied using Common Equity Tier 1 capital and will function as an extension of the capital conservation buffer. The Federal Reserve has stated that, under the final rule and using the most recent available data, the estimated G-SIB surcharges will range from 1.0% to 4.5% of a GSIB’s RWAs. Under the Federal Reserve’s calculation for the Company, the Company’s G-SIB surcharge would be 3%. The surcharge will be phased in between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2019.

Capital Plans and Stress Tests.

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve has adopted capital planning and stress test requirements for large bank holding companies, including the Company, which form part of the Federal Reserve’s annual Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”) framework. Under the Federal Reserve’s capital plan rule, the Company must submit an annual capital plan to the Federal Reserve, taking into account the results of separate stress tests designed by the Company and the Federal Reserve, so that the Federal Reserve may assess the Company’s systems and processes that incorporate forward-looking projections of revenues and losses to monitor and maintain its internal capital adequacy. The capital plan rule requires that such companies receive no objection from the Federal Reserve before making a capital distribution. In addition, even with an approved capital plan, a large bank holding company must seek the approval of the Federal Reserve before making a capital distribution if, among other reasons, it would not meet its regulatory capital requirements after making the proposed capital distribution. In addition, the Federal Reserve’s final rule on stress testing under the Dodd-Frank Act requires the Company to conduct semi-annual company-run stress tests. The rule also subjects the Company to an annual supervisory stress test conducted by the Federal Reserve.

The Company submitted its 2015 annual capital plan to the Federal Reserve in January 2015 and received no objection to the plan (see “Capital Management” herein). In March 2015, the Federal Reserve published summary results of the Dodd-Frank Act and CCAR supervisory stress tests of each large bank holding company, including the Company. As required, the Company disclosed a summary of the results of its company-run stress tests on March 11, 2015.

The final rule also requires Advanced Approach banking organizations that have exited from the parallel run, including the Company, to incorporate the Advanced Approach into their capital planning and company-run stress tests beginning with the January 1, 2016 cycle. However, in July 2015, the Federal Reserve issued proposed revisions to its capital plan and stress test rules that would, among other things, indefinitely defer the use of the Advanced Approach, remove the Tier 1 common ratio requirement, and delay the incorporation of the supplementary leverage ratio until the 2017 cycle. In addition, the Federal Reserve has indicated that it is considering whether and, if so, how to incorporate the G-SIB capital surcharge in the CCAR and Dodd-Frank Act stress tests. In October 2014, the Federal Reserve revised its capital planning and stress testing regulations to, among other things, generally limit a large bank holding company’s ability to make capital distributions (other than scheduled payments on Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital instruments) if the bank holding company’s net capital issuances are less than the amount indicated in its capital plan, and to shift the start and submission dates of the capital plan and stress test cycles beginning with the 2016 cycle.

The Dodd-Frank Act also requires each of the Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks to conduct an annual stress test. MSBNA submitted its 2015 annual company-run stress tests to the OCC in January 2015 and MSPBNA submitted its annual company-run stress tests to the OCC in March 2015. MSBNA published a summary of its stress test results on March 11, 2015, and MSPBNA published a summary of its stress test results on June 15, 2015. In June 2014, the OCC issued a proposed rule, among other things, to shift the timing of the annual stress testing cycle that applies to the Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks beginning with the 2016 cycle.

Supplementary Leverage Ratio.

Beginning on January 1, 2015, the Company and its U.S. Subsidiary Banks must publicly disclose their U.S. Basel III supplementary leverage ratio, which will become effective as a capital standard on January 1, 2018. By January 1, 2018, the Company must also maintain a Tier 1 supplementary leverage capital buffer of greater than 2% in addition to the 3% minimum supplementary leverage ratio (for a total of greater than 5%), in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividends and stock repurchases, and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. In addition, beginning in 2018, the Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks must maintain a supplementary leverage ratio of 6% to be considered “well-capitalized.”

(1)Amount is computed as the average daily balance of consolidated assets under U.S. GAAP during the calendar quarter.
(2)Amount is computed as the arithmetic mean of the month-end balances over the calendar quarter.
(3)Amount reflects adjustments to Tier 1 capital, including disallowed goodwill, transitional intangible assets, certain deferred tax assets, certain investments in the capital instruments of unconsolidated financial institutions and other adjustments.
(4)At June 30, 2015, supplementary leverage ratios calculated using Tier 1 capital and supplementary leverage exposures computed under U.S. Basel III on a transitional basis for the Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks were as follows: MSBNA: 7.1%; and MSPBNA: 11.1%.

The supplementary leverage exposure (noted in the above table) represents the Company’s consolidated daily average assets under U.S. GAAP as adjusted, among other items, by: (i) the addition of the potential future exposure for derivative contracts (including derivatives that are centrally cleared for clients), the gross-up of cash collateral netting where certain qualifying criteria are not met, and the effective notional principal amount of sold credit protection offset by certain qualifying purchased credit protection; (ii) the counterparty credit risk associated with repo-style transactions; (iii) the credit equivalent amount of off-balance sheet exposures, which is computed by applying the relevant credit conversion factors; and (iv) certain amounts deducted or adjusted from Tier 1 capital under U.S. Basel III. The supplementary leverage exposure and supplementary leverage ratio are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company considers to be useful measures for evaluating compliance with new regulatory capital requirements that have not yet become effective.

The Company estimates its pro forma fully phased-in supplementary leverage ratio to be approximately 5.3% at June 30, 2015. This estimate utilizes a fully phased-in U.S. Basel III Tier 1 capital numerator and a denominator of approximately $1.16 trillion. The Company’s estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from estimates based on these regulations. Further, these expectations should not be taken as projections of what the Company’s supplementary leverage ratios, earnings, assets or exposures will actually be at future dates. See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the 2014 Form 10-K for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that may affect the future results of the Company.

Required Capital.

The Company’s required capital (“Required Capital”) estimation is based on the Required Capital framework, an internal capital adequacy measure. This framework is a risk-based and leverage use-of-capital measure, which is compared with the Company’s regulatory capital to ensure that the Company maintains an amount of going concern capital after absorbing potential losses from extreme stress events, where applicable, at a point in time. The Company defines the difference between its regulatory capital and aggregate Required Capital as Parent capital. Average Common Equity Tier 1 capital, aggregate Required Capital and Parent capital for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were approximately $58.1 billion, $39.6 billion and $18.5 billion, respectively. The Company generally holds Parent capital for prospective regulatory requirements, including for example, supplementary leverage ratio and U.S. Basel III transitional deductions and adjustments expected to reduce the Company’s capital through 2018. The Company also holds Parent capital for organic growth, acquisitions and other capital needs.

Table of Contents

Common Equity Tier 1 capital and common equity attribution to the business segments is based on capital usage calculated by the Required Capital framework as well as each business segment’s relative contribution to the Company’s total Required Capital. Required Capital is assessed at each business segment and further attributed to product lines. This process is intended to align capital with the risks in each business segment in order to allow senior management to evaluate returns on a risk-adjusted basis. The Required Capital framework will evolve over time in response to changes in the business and regulatory environment and to incorporate enhancements in modeling techniques. The Company will continue to evaluate the framework with respect to the impact of future regulatory requirements, as appropriate.

Resolution and Recovery Planning.

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company is required to submit to the Federal Reserve and the FDIC an annual resolution plan that describes its strategy for a rapid and orderly resolution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the event of material financial distress or failure of the Company. The Company submitted its 2015 resolution plan in July 2015. For further information on the Company’s resolution and recovery planning, see “Business—Supervision and Regulation—Resolution and Recovery Planning” in Part I, Item 1 of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements with Unconsolidated Entities.

The Company enters into various arrangements with unconsolidated entities, including variable interest entities, primarily in connection with its Institutional Securities and Investment Management business segments. See “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements with Unconsolidated Entities” included in Part II, Item 7 of the 2014 Form 10-K and Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for further information.

See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for further information on guarantees.

Commitments.

The Company’s commitments associated with outstanding letters of credit and other financial guarantees obtained to satisfy collateral requirements, investment activities, corporate lending and financing arrangements, mortgage lending and margin lending at June 30, 2015 were approximately $156 billion. See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for further information on commitments.

Effects of Inflation and Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

To the extent that an increased inflation outlook results in rising interest rates or has negative impacts on the valuation of financial instruments that exceed the impact on the value of the Company’s liabilities, it may

adversely affect the Company’s financial position and profitability. A significant portion of the Company’s business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and changes in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, therefore, can affect the value of non-U.S. dollar net assets, revenues and expenses. For a further discussion of the effects of inflation and changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company’s business and financial results and strategies to mitigate potential exposures see “MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Effects of Inflation and Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market Risk.

Market risk refers to the risk that a change in the level of one or more market prices, rates, indices, implied volatilities (the price volatility of the underlying instrument imputed from option prices), correlations or other market factors, such as market liquidity, will result in losses for a position or portfolio. Generally, the Company incurs market risk as a result of trading, investing and client facilitation activities, principally within the Company’s Institutional Securities business segment where the substantial majority of the Company’s Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) for market risk exposures is generated. In addition, the Company incurs trading-related market risk within its Wealth Management business segment. The Company’s Investment Management business segment incurs principally Non-trading market risk primarily from capital investments in real estate funds and investments in private equity vehicles. For a further discussion of the Company’s Market Risk, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Risk Management” in Part II, Item 7A of the 2014 Form 10-K.

VaR.

The Company uses the statistical technique known as VaR as one of the tools used to measure, monitor and review the market risk exposures of its trading portfolios. The Company’s Market Risk Department calculates and distributes daily VaR-based risk measures to various levels of management.

VaR Methodology, Assumptions and Limitations.

For information regarding the Company’s VaR methodology, assumptions and limitations, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Risk Management—Market Risk—VaR Methodology, Assumptions and Limitations” in Part II, Item 7A of the 2014 Form 10-K.

The Company utilizes the same VaR model for risk management purposes as well as for regulatory capital calculations. The Company’s VaR model has been approved by the Company’s regulators for use in regulatory capital calculations.

The portfolio of positions used for the Company’s VaR for risk management purposes (“Management VaR”) differs from that used for regulatory capital requirements (“Regulatory VaR”), as Management VaR contains certain positions that are excluded from Regulatory VaR. Examples include counterparty Credit Valuation Adjustments (“CVA”) and related hedges, as well as loans that are carried at fair value and associated hedges. Additionally, the Company’s Management VaR excludes certain risks contained in its Regulatory VaR, such as hedges to counterparty exposures related to the Company’s own credit spread.

Table 1 below presents the Management VaR for the Company’s Trading portfolio, on a period-end, quarterly average and quarterly high and low basis. The Credit Portfolio is disclosed as a separate category from the Primary Risk Categories, and includes counterparty CVA and related hedges, as well as loans that are carried at fair value and associated hedges.

N/A—Not Applicable

(1)Diversification benefit equals the difference between the total Management VaR and the sum of the component VaRs. This benefit arises because the simulated one-day losses for each of the components occur on different days; similar diversification benefits also are taken into account within each component.
(2)The high and low VaR values for the total Management VaR and each of the component VaRs might have occurred on different days during the quarter, and therefore, the diversification benefit is not an applicable measure.

The Company’s average Management VaR for the Primary Risk Categories for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $50 million compared with $44 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily driven by increased equity exposure over the quarter.

The Company’s average Credit Portfolio VaR for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $12 million compared with $16 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced credit spread risk in lending.

The Company’s average Total Management VaR for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $54 million compared with $47 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. This increase was driven by the increased risk in Primary Risk Categories.

Distribution of VaR Statistics and Net Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

One method of evaluating the reasonableness of the Company’s VaR model as a measure of the Company’s potential volatility of net revenues is to compare VaR with actual trading revenues. Assuming no intraday trading, for a 95%/one-day VaR, the expected number of times that trading losses should exceed VaR during the year is 13, and, in general, if trading losses were to exceed VaR more than 21 times in a year, the adequacy of the VaR model would be questioned. The Company evaluates the reasonableness of its VaR model by comparing the potential declines in portfolio values generated by the model with actual trading results for the Company, as well as individual business units. For days where losses exceed the VaR statistic, the Company examines the drivers of trading losses to evaluate the VaR model’s accuracy relative to realized trading results.

The distribution of VaR Statistics and Net Revenues is presented in the histograms below for both the Primary Risk Categories and the Total Trading populations.

The histogram below shows the distribution for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 of daily net trading revenues, including profits and losses from positions included in VaR for the Company’s businesses that comprise the Primary Risk Categories. Daily net trading revenues also include intraday trading activities but exclude certain items not captured in the VaR model, such as fees, commissions and net interest income. Daily net trading revenues differ from the definition of revenues required for Regulatory VaR backtesting, which further excludes intraday trading. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company’s businesses that comprise the Primary Risk Categories experienced net trading losses on 9 days, of which no day was in excess of the 95%/one-day Primary Risk Categories VaR.

Non-trading Risks.

The Company believes that sensitivity analysis is an appropriate representation of the Company’s non-trading risks. Reflected below is this analysis covering substantially all of the non-trading risk in the Company’s portfolio.

Counterparty Exposure Related to the Company’s Own Credit Spread.

The credit spread risk sensitivity of the counterparty exposure related to the Company’s own credit spread corresponded to an increase in value of approximately $6 million and $7 million for each 1 basis point widening in the Company’s credit spread level at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

Funding Liabilities.

The credit spread risk sensitivity of the Company’s mark-to-market funding liabilities corresponded to an increase in value of approximately $11 million and $10 million for each 1 basis point widening in the Company’s credit spread level at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk Sensitivity.

The table below presents the estimated impact of selected hypothetical instantaneous upward and downward parallel interest rate shocks on net interest income over the next 12 months for the Company’s U.S. Subsidiary Banks. These shocks are applied to the Company’s 12-month forecast for its U.S. Subsidiary Banks, which

Table of Contents

incorporates market expectations of interest rates and the Company’s forecasted business activity, including its deposit deployment strategy and asset-liability management hedges. Thus, the impacts are incremental to that forecast, and additionally, do not reflect the impact of the repricing of assets and liabilities beyond 12 months. The Company does not manage to any single rate scenario, but rather manages net interest income in its U.S. Subsidiary Banks to optimize across a range of possible outcomes.

These investments are predominantly equity positions with long investment horizons, the majority of which are for business facilitation purposes. The market risk related to these investments is measured by estimating the potential reduction in net income associated with a 10% decline in investment values.

Equity Market Sensitivity.

In the Company’s Wealth Management and Investment Management business segments, certain fee-based revenue streams are driven by the value of clients’ equity holdings. The overall level of revenues for these streams also depends on multiple additional factors that include, but are not limited to, the level and duration of the equity market decline, price volatility, the geographic and industry mix of client assets, the rate and magnitude of client investments and redemptions, and the impact of such market decline and price volatility on client behavior. Therefore, overall revenues do not correlate completely with changes in the equity markets.

Credit Risk.

Credit risk refers to the risk of loss arising when a borrower, counterparty or issuer does not meet its financial obligations to the Company. For a further discussion of the Company’s credit risks, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Risk Management—Credit Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of the 2014 Form 10-K. Also, see Notes 7 and 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for additional information about the Company’s loans and lending commitments, respectively.

Lending Activities.

The Company provides loans to a variety of customers, from large corporate and institutional clients to high net worth individuals. In addition, the Company purchases loans in the secondary market. Loans held for investment and loans held for sale are classified in Loans, and loans held at fair value are classified in Trading assets in the

See Notes 5 and 7 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for further information.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the allowance for loan losses related to funded loans that were accounted for as held for investment was $169 million and $149 million, respectively, and the allowance for commitment losses related to unfunded lending commitments that were accounted for as held for investment was $157 million and $149 million, respectively. The aggregate allowance for loan and commitment losses for funded and unfunded loans increased over the six months ended June 30, 2015 due primarily to the growth in the portfolios, and reflects the high quality of the Company’s lending portfolios resulting from strong credit risk management. See Note 7 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for further information.

Institutional Securities Corporate Lending Activities.    For a discussion of the Company’s Institutional Securities corporate lending activities, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Risk Management—Credit Risk—Institutional Securities Corporate Lending Activities” in Part II, Item 7A of the 2014 Form 10-K.

The Company’s credit exposure from its corporate lending positions and lending commitments is measured in accordance with the Company’s internal risk management standards. Lending commitments represent legally binding obligations to provide funding to clients for all lending transactions. Since commitments associated with these business activities may expire unused or may not be utilized to full capacity, they do not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.

(1)Obligor credit ratings are determined by the Company’s Credit Risk Management Department.
(2)For syndications led by the Company, lending commitments accepted by the borrower but not yet closed are net of the amounts agreed to by counterparties that will participate in the syndication. For syndications that the Company participates in and does not lead, lending commitments accepted by the borrower but not yet closed include only the amount that the Company expects it will be allocated from the lead syndicate bank.
(3)Amounts include the fair value adjustment of $0.3 billion related to the Company’s unfunded lending commitments at both June 30, 2015 and December 31. 2014.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate amount of investment grade funded loans was $7.0 billion and $6.3 billion, respectively, and the aggregate amount of non-investment grade funded loans was $8.6 billion and $9.9 billion, respectively. In connection with these corporate lending activities (which include both corporate funded and unfunded lending commitments), the Company had hedges (which included “single name,” “sector” and “index” hedges) with a notional amount of $13.5 billion related to the total corporate lending exposure of $101.1 billion at June 30, 2015 and with a notional amount of $12.9 billion related to the total corporate lending exposure of $98.0 billion at December 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no significant loans and lending commitments held for investment under non-accrual status within Corporate Lending, as no significant loans or lending commitments were past due or had payments that were in doubt.

“Event-Driven” Loans and Lending Commitments at June 30, 2015.

Included in the total corporate lending exposure amounts in the table above at June 30, 2015 were “event-driven” exposures of $15.2 billion composed of funded loans of $4.5 billion and lending commitments of $10.7 billion. Included in the “event-driven” exposure at June 30, 2015 were $11.8 billion of loans and lending commitments to non-investment grade borrowers. The maturity profile of these “event-driven” loans and lending commitments at June 30, 2015 were as follows: 24% will mature in less than 1 year, 16% will mature within 1 to 3 years, 41% will mature within 3 to 5 years and 19% will mature in over 5 years.

Securities-based lending provided to the Company’s retail clients is primarily conducted through the Company’s PLA platform which had an outstanding funded loan balance of $22.2 billion and $19.1 billion at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These loans allow the client to borrow money against the value of qualifying securities for any purpose other than purchasing securities. For a further discussion on the Company’s credit lines against the value of qualifying securities see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Risk Management—Credit Risk—Wealth Management Lending Activities” in Part II, Item 7A of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Residential real estate loans consist of first and second lien mortgages, including home equity lines of credit (“HELOC”) loans. The vast majority of mortgage and HELOC loans are held for investment in the Company’s Wealth Management business segment’s loan portfolio. For a discussion of the Company’s residential real estate loan evaluation process see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Risk Management—Credit Risk—Wealth Management Lending Activities” in Part II, Item 7A of the 2014 Form 10-K.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, loans and lending commitments associated with the Company’s Wealth Management business segment lending activities increased by approximately 15%, mainly due to growth in PLA and residential real estate loans. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, approximately 99.9% of the Company’s Wealth Management business segment lending activities held for investment were current; while approximately 0.1% were on non-accrual status because the loans were past due for a period of 90 days or more or payment of principal or interest was in doubt.

The Company’s Wealth Management business segment also provides margin lending to clients and had an outstanding balance of $14.7 billion and $13.7 billion at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, which were classified within Customer and other receivables within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

In addition, the Company’s Wealth Management business segment has employee loans that are granted primarily in conjunction with programs established by the Company to recruit and retain certain employees. These loans, recorded in Customer and other receivables in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, are full recourse, require periodic payments and have repayment terms ranging from 2 to 12 years. The Company establishes an allowance for loan amounts it does not consider recoverable from terminated employees, which is recorded in Compensation and benefits expense.

(2)For further information on derivative instruments and hedging activities, see Note 10 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1.

Other.

In addition to the activities noted above, there are other credit risks managed by the Company’s Credit Risk Management Department and various business areas within the Company’s Institutional Securities business segment. The Company participates in securitization activities whereby it extends short-term or long-term funding to clients through loans and lending commitments that are secured by the assets of the borrower and generally provide for over-collateralization, including commercial real estate loans, loans secured by loan pools, commercial company loans, and secured lines of revolving credit. Credit risk with respect to these loans and lending commitments arises from the failure of a borrower to perform according to the terms of the loan agreement or a decline in the underlying collateral value. See Note 6 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for information about the Company’s securitization activities. In addition, a collateral management group monitors collateral levels against requirements and oversees the administration of the collateral function. See Note 5 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for additional information about the Company’s collateralized transactions.

Country Risk Exposure.

Country risk exposure is the risk that uncertainties arising from the economic, social, security and political conditions within a foreign country (any country other than the U.S.) will adversely affect the ability of the sovereign government and/or obligors within the country to honor their obligations to the Company. The Company actively manages country risk exposure through a comprehensive risk management framework that combines credit and market fundamentals and allows the Company to effectively identify, monitor and limit country risk. For a further discussion of the Company’s country risk exposure see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Risk Management—Credit Risk—Country Risk Exposure” in Part II, Item 7A of the 2014 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

The Company’s sovereign exposures consist of financial instruments entered into with sovereign and local governments. Its non-sovereign exposures consist of exposures to primarily corporations and financial institutions. The following table shows the Company’s ten largest non-U.S. country risk net exposures at June 30, 2015. Index credit derivatives are included in the Company’s country risk exposure tables. Each reference entity within an index is allocated to that reference entity’s country of risk. Index exposures are allocated to the underlying reference entities in proportion to the notional weighting of each reference entity in the index, adjusted for any fair value receivable/payable for that reference entity. Where credit risk crosses multiple jurisdictions, for example, a CDS purchased from an issuer in a specific country that references bonds issued by an entity in a different country, the fair value of the CDS is reflected in the Net Counterparty Exposure column based on the country of the CDS issuer. Further, the notional amount of the CDS adjusted for the fair value of the receivable/payable is reflected in the Net Inventory column based on the country of the underlying reference entity.

(1)Net inventory represents exposure to both long and short single-name and index positions (i.e., bonds and equities at fair value and CDS based on a notional amount assuming zero recovery adjusted for any fair value receivable or payable). As a market maker, the Company transacts in these CDS positions to facilitate client trading. At June 30, 2015, gross purchased protection, gross written protection and net exposures related to single-name and index credit derivatives for those countries were $(233.0) billion, $230.5 billion and $(2.6) billion, respectively. For a further description of the triggers for purchased credit protection and whether those triggers may limit the effectiveness of the Company’s hedges, see “Credit Exposure—Derivatives” in Part II, Item 7A, “quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk-Credit Risk” in the 2014 Form 10-K.
(2)Net counterparty exposure (i.e., repurchase transactions, securities lending and OTC derivatives) takes into consideration legally enforceable master netting agreements and collateral.
(3)At June 30, 2015, the benefit of collateral received against counterparty credit exposure was $9.9 billion in the U.K., with 97% of collateral consisting of cash, U.S. and U.K. government obligations, and $10.8 billion in Germany with 97% of collateral consisting of cash and government obligations of Spain, France and Belgium. The benefit of collateral received against counterparty credit exposure in the other countries totaled approximately $12.3 billion, with collateral primarily consisting of cash, Germany, France and Netherlands government obligations. These amounts do not include collateral received on secured financing transactions.
(4)Amounts represent CDS hedges (purchased and sold) on net counterparty exposure and funded lending executed by trading desks responsible for hedging counterparty and lending credit risk exposures for the Company. Based on the CDS notional amount assuming zero recovery adjusted for any fair value receivable or payable.
(5)In addition, at June 30, 2015, the Company had exposure to these countries for overnight deposits with banks of approximately $6.4 billion.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Currency Related Matters.

The Company is responding to a number of regulatory and governmental inquiries both in the United States and abroad related to its foreign exchange business.

(A)The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of the Company’s outstanding stock under a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Share Repurchase Program is a program for capital management purposes that considers, among other things, business segment capital needs, as well as equity-based compensation and benefit plan requirements. The Share Repurchase Program has no set expiration or termination date. Share repurchases by the Company are subject to regulatory approval. In March 2015, the Company received no objection from the Federal Reserve to repurchase up to $3.1 billion of the Company’s outstanding common stock that began in the second quarter of 2015 through the end of the second quarter of 2016 under the Company’s 2015 capital plan. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased approximately $625 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock as part of its Share Repurchase Program. For further information, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Management” in Part I, Item 2.
(B)Includes: (1) shares delivered or attested in satisfaction of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligations by holders of employee and director stock options (granted under employee and director stock compensation plans) who exercised options; (2) shares withheld, delivered or attested (under the terms of grants under employee and director stock compensation plans) to offset tax withholding obligations that occur upon vesting and release of restricted shares; (3) shares withheld, delivered and attested (under the terms of grants under employee and director stock compensation plans) to offset tax withholding obligations that occur upon the delivery of outstanding shares underlying restricted stock units; and (4) shares withheld, delivered and attested (under the terms of grants under employee and director stock compensation plans) to offset the cash payment for fractional shares. The Company’s employee and director stock compensation plans provide that the value of the shares withheld, delivered or attested, shall be valued using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the relevant transaction occurs, using a valuation methodology established by the Company.
(C)Share purchases under publicly announced programs are made pursuant to open-market purchases, Rule 10b5-1 plans or privately negotiated transactions (including with employee benefit plans) as market conditions warrant and at prices the Company deems appropriate and may be suspended at any time.
