NOTICE:

The information provided herein may include certain non-GAAP financial measures. The definition of such measures or reconciliation of such metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP figures are included in this earnings release and the Financial Supplement, both of which are available on www.morganstanley.com.

This earnings release contains forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made and which reflect management's current estimates, projections, expectations or beliefs and which are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. For a discussion of additional risks and uncertainties that may affect the future results of the Firm, please see "Forward-Looking Statements" immediately preceding Part I, Item 1, "Competition" and "Supervision and Regulation" in Part I, Item 1, "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A, "Legal Proceedings" in Part I, Item 3, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 and "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in Part II, Item 7A in the Firm's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and other items throughout the Form 10-K, the Firm's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Firm's Current Reports on Form 8-K, including any amendments thereto.

¹ The Firm prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). From time to time, Morgan Stanley may disclose certain "non-GAAP financial measures" in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a "non-GAAP financial measure" as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial positions, or cash flows that 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 Morgan Stanley are provided as additional information to investors and analysts in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing, our financial condition, operating results, or prospective regulatory capital requirements. 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 we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure, we will also generally define it 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 we reference and such comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

² Pre-tax margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers useful for investors and analysts to assess operating performance. Pre-tax margin represents income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes divided by net revenues.

³ Effective January 1, 2016, the Firm early adopted the provision of new accounting guidance that requires unrealized gains and losses from Morgan Stanley's debt-related credit spreads and other credit factors (Debt Valuation Adjustments, or DVA) to be presented in Other comprehensive income as opposed to net revenues and net income. Results for 2015 are not restated pursuant to that guidance.

⁴ Includes preferred dividends and other adjustments related to the calculation of earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2015 of approximately $157 million and $155 million, respectively. Includes preferred dividends and other adjustments related to the calculation of earnings per share for the years ended 2016 and 2015 of approximately $471 million and $456 million, respectively. Refer to page 13 of Morgan Stanley's Financial Supplement accompanying this release for the calculation of earnings per share.

⁵ Excluding DVA from net revenues, net income applicable to Morgan Stanley and earnings (loss) per diluted share amounts are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors and analysts to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. The reconciliation of net revenues, net income (loss) applicable to Morgan Stanley and earnings (loss) per diluted share applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders from a U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP basis is as follows (Net revenues, net income (loss) reconciliation and average diluted shares are presented in millions – also see footnote 3):

	4Q 2015		FY 2015
Net revenues - U.S. GAAP	$7,738		$35,155
DVA impact	$(124	)	$618
Net revenues - Non-GAAP	$7,862		$34,537

Net income (loss) applicable to MS - U.S. GAAP	$908		$6,127
DVA impact	$(78	)	$399
Net income (loss) applicable to MS - Non-GAAP	$986		$5,728

Earnings (loss) per diluted share - U.S. GAAP	$0.39		$2.90
DVA impact	$(0.04	)	$0.20
Earnings (loss) per diluted share - Non-GAAP	$0.43		$2.70

Average diluted shares - U.S. GAAP	1,939		1,953

⁶ The fourth quarter of 2015 included severance expense of $155 million associated with the Firm's restructuring actions, which was recorded in the business segments as follows: Institutional Securities: $125 million, Wealth Management: $20 million and Investment Management: $10 million.

⁷ Annualized return on average common equity and return on average common equity are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors and analysts to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. The calculation of return on average common equity uses annualized net income for the quarter or full year net income applicable to Morgan Stanley less preferred dividends as a percentage of average common equity.

⁸ Institutional Securities net revenues and pre-tax income (loss), excluding DVA, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers useful for investors and analysts to allow for better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. The reconciliation of net revenues and pre-tax income (loss) from a U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP basis is as follows (amounts are presented in millions - also see footnote 3):

	4Q2015			FY 2015
Net revenues - U.S. GAAP		$3,419			$17,953
DVA impact		$(124	)		$618
Net revenues - Non-GAAP		$3,543			$17,335

Pre-tax income (loss) - U.S. GAAP		$548			$4,671
DVA impact		$(124	)		$618
Pre-tax income (loss) - Non-GAAP		$672			$4,053

⁹ Sales and trading net revenues, including Fixed Income and Equity sales and trading net revenues excluding DVA are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors and analysts to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. The reconciliation of sales and trading, including Fixed Income and Equity sales and trading net revenues from a U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP basis is as follows (amounts are presented in millions – also see footnote 3):

	4Q 2015			FY 2015
Sales & Trading - U.S. GAAP		$2,141			$12,450
DVA impact		$(124	)		$618
Sales & Trading - Non-GAAP		$2,265			$11,832

Fixed Income Sales & Trading - U.S. GAAP		$460			$4,758
DVA impact		$(90	)		$455
Fixed Income Sales & Trading - Non-GAAP		$550			$4,303

Equity Sales & Trading - U.S. GAAP		$1,784			$8,288
DVA impact		$(34	)		$163
Equity Sales & Trading - Non-GAAP		$1,818			$8,125

¹⁰ VaR represents the loss amount that one would not expect to exceed, on average, more than five times every one hundred trading days in the Firm's trading positions if the portfolio were held constant for a one-day period. Further discussion of the calculation of VaR and the limitations of the Firm's VaR methodology is disclosed in Part II, Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (2015 Form 10-K). Refer to page 6 of Morgan Stanley's Financial Supplement accompanying this release for the VaR disclosure.

¹¹ Transactional revenues include investment banking, trading, and commissions and fee revenues.

¹² Wealth Management client liabilities reflect U.S. Bank lending and broker dealer margin activity.

¹³ The impact to earnings per diluted share is calculated by dividing each of the net discrete tax benefit and the net after-tax impact of DVA by the average number of shares outstanding of approximately 2.0 billion.

¹⁴ Institutional Securities full year 2016 compensation ratio of 36% is calculated based on compensation expense of $6,275 million divided by net revenues of $17,459 million.

¹⁵ The Firm's binding risk-based capital ratios for regulatory purposes are the lower of the capital ratios computed under the (i) standardized approaches for calculating credit risk risk-weighted assets (RWAs) and market risk RWAs (the "Standardized Approach"); and (ii) applicable advanced approaches for calculating credit risk, market risk and operational risk RWAs (the "Advanced Approach"). At December 31, 2016, the binding ratio is based on the Advanced Approach transitional rules. For information on the calculation of regulatory capital and ratios for prior periods, please refer to Part II, Item 7 "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Regulatory Requirements" in the Firm's 2015 10-K and Part I, Item 2 "Liquidity and Capital Resources – Regulatory Requirements" in the Firm's 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

¹⁶ The pro forma fully phased-in Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and pro forma fully phased-in Supplementary Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers to be useful measures for investors and analysts to evaluate compliance with new regulatory capital requirements that have not yet become effective.

¹⁷ The Firm is required to disclose information related to its supplementary leverage ratio, which through to the end of 2017 will include the effects of transitional provisions. The supplementary leverage ratio will become effective as a capital standard on January 1, 2018. Specifically, beginning on January 1, 2018, the Firm must maintain a Tier 1 supplementary leverage capital buffer of at least 2% in addition to the 3% minimum supplementary leverage ratio (for a total of at least 5%), in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividends and stock repurchases, and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The Firm's pro forma Supplementary Leverage Ratio estimate utilizes a fully phased-in Tier 1 capital numerator of approximately $66.4 billion and a fully phased-in supplementary leverage exposure denominator of approximately $1.06 trillion. The Firm'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 Firm's supplementary leverage ratios or earnings, assets or exposures will actually be at future dates. See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A in the 2015 Form 10-K for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that may affect the future results of the Firm.

¹⁸ Tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers to be useful measures of capital adequacy for investors and analysts. Tangible common equity equals common equity less goodwill and intangible assets net of allowable mortgage servicing rights deduction. Tangible book value per common share equals tangible common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding.

Notes:	-	Effective January 1, 2016, the Firm early adopted the provision of new accounting guidance that requires unrealized gains and losses from Morgan Stanley’s debt-related credit spreads and other credit factors (Debt Valuation Adjustments, or DVA) to be presented in other comprehensive income as opposed to net revenues and net income. This change is reflected in the consolidated results and the Institutional Securities segment for 2016. Results for 2015 were not restated pursuant to this guidance.
