Chairman and CEO Charles Schwab commented, “Our focus on building stronger relationships with our clients – providing the help and investment solutions they want – is working. We also believe our ongoing national advertising campaign is helping to strengthen our business momentum. Clients opened 188,000 new brokerage accounts during the first quarter of 2006, 25% higher than a year ago, while net new assets totaled $28.1 billion, up 75% from a year ago. I’m proud that we ended March with a record $1.281 trillion in total client assets, up 19% from a year ago. Our progress in the first three months of 2006 is also reflected in financial performance that includes 21% net revenue growth and the best quarterly earnings since we began our turnaround in mid-2004.”

CFO Chris Dodds said, “Improved client asset flows, higher equity valuations, and increased trading activity all contributed to making our first quarter 2006 net revenues the highest in over five years. Cost discipline across the company enabled us to limit expense growth to just 8%, and we achieved a record 31.2% pre-tax profit margin for the quarter even after incurring $25 million in severance charges. Our first quarter net income reached $243 million, up 68% from a year ago, which gives us a robust start towards continued financial progress in 2006. That start includes an ongoing focus on capital management – just $23 million in capital expenditures and another $154 million in share repurchases helped us to achieve a 21% return on equity for the quarter.”
