  Global Banking & Markets  

 

   

 

     

 

Net revenues in Global Banking & Markets were $9.73 billion for the first quarter of 2024, 15% higher than the first quarter of 2023 and 53% higher than the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

Investment banking fees were $2.08 billion, 32% higher than the first quarter of 2023, reflecting significantly higher net revenues in Debt underwriting, primarily driven by leveraged finance activity, in Advisory, reflecting an increase in completed mergers and acquisitions transactions, and in Equity underwriting, primarily from initial public and secondary offerings. The firm’s Investment banking fees backlog3 decreased compared with the end of 2023.

 

Net revenues in Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (FICC) were $4.32 billion, 10% higher than the first quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting significantly higher net revenues in FICC financing, driven by mortgages and structured lending. The increase also reflected higher net revenues in FICC intermediation due to significantly higher net revenues in mortgages and higher net revenues in currencies and credit products, partially offset by lower net revenues in commodities and slightly lower net revenues in interest rate products.

 

Net revenues in Equities were $3.31 billion, 10% higher than the first quarter of 2023, due to higher net revenues in Equities intermediation, reflecting significantly higher net revenues in derivatives, and slightly higher net revenues in Equities financing.

 

Net revenues in Other were $12 million compared with $(81) million for the first quarter of 2023, with the increase primarily due to lower net losses on hedges.

Net revenues in Asset & Wealth Management were $3.79 billion for the first quarter of 2024, 18% higher than the first quarter of 2023 and 14% lower than the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2023 primarily reflected significantly higher net revenues in both Private banking and lending (the first quarter of 2023 included net revenues of approximately $(470) million related to a partial sale of the Marcus loans portfolio and the transfer of the remainder of the portfolio to held for sale) and Equity investments and higher Management and other fees.

 

The increase in Private banking and lending net revenues reflected the impact of the sale of the Marcus loans portfolio in 2023 (including the significant mark-down of the portfolio in the first quarter of 2023), partially offset by the impact of lower deposit spreads. The increase in Equity investments net revenues reflected significantly higher net gains from investments in private equities, partially offset by mark-to-market net losses from investments in public equities compared with net gains in the prior year period. The increase in Management and other fees primarily reflected the impact of higher average assets under supervision. Debt investments net revenues were lower, reflecting lower net interest income due to a reduction in the debt investments balance sheet.

Net revenues in Platform Solutions were $698 million for the first quarter of 2024, 24% higher than the first quarter of 2023 and 21% higher than the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2023 reflected significantly higher net revenues in Consumer platforms.

 

The increase in Consumer platforms net revenues primarily reflected higher average credit card balances and higher average deposit balances. Transaction banking and other net revenues were slightly higher, reflecting higher deposit spreads.

Provision for credit losses was $318 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared with a net benefit of $171 million for the first quarter of 2023 and net provisions of $577 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Provisions for the first quarter of 2024 reflected net provisions related to both the credit card portfolio (driven by net charge-offs) and wholesale loans (driven by impairments). The net benefit for the first quarter of 2023 reflected a reserve reduction of approximately $440 million related to a partial sale of the Marcus loans portfolio and the transfer of the remainder of the portfolio to held for sale, partially offset by net provisions related to the credit card and point-of-sale loan portfolios (driven by net charge-offs and growth) and a provision related to a term deposit with First Republic Bank.

Operating Expenses

 

   

Operating expenses were $8.66 billion for the first quarter of 2024, 3% higher than the first quarter of 2023 and 2% higher than the fourth quarter of 2023. The firm’s efficiency ratio3 was 60.9% for the first quarter of 2024, compared with 68.7% for the first quarter of 2023.

 

The increase in operating expenses compared with the first quarter of 2023 primarily reflected higher compensation and benefits expenses (reflecting improved operating performance), higher transaction based expenses and an incremental expense for the FDIC special assessment fee (in other expenses), partially offset by significantly lower impairments related to consolidated real estate investments (in depreciation and amortization).

 

Net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings were $23 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared with $72 million for the first quarter of 2023.

 

Headcount decreased 2% compared with the end of 2023, primarily reflecting the impact of the sale of GreenSky Holdings, LLC.

Provision for Taxes

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only the firm’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the firm’s control. It is possible that the firm’s actual results, financial condition and liquidity may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results, financial condition and liquidity in these forward-looking statements. For information about some of the risks and important factors that could affect the firm’s future results, financial condition and liquidity, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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

Statements about the firm’s Investment banking fees backlog and future results also may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the risk that transactions may be modified or may not be completed at all, and related net revenues may not be realized or may be materially less than expected. Important factors that could have such a result include, for underwriting transactions, a decline or weakness in general economic conditions, an outbreak or worsening of hostilities, including those in Ukraine and the Middle East, volatility in the securities markets or an adverse development with respect to the issuer of the securities and, for financial advisory transactions, a decline in the securities markets, an inability to obtain adequate financing, an adverse development with respect to a party to the transaction or a failure to obtain a required regulatory approval. For information about other important factors that could adversely affect the firm’s Investment banking fees, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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

 

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