CHARLES SCHWAB REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Tools

SAN FRANCISCO, October 15, 2009 - The Charles Schwab Corporation announced today that its net income

was $200 million for the third quarter of 2009, down 34% from the third quarter of 2008. For the nine months ended

September 30, 2009, the company's net income was $623 million, down 31% from the year-earlier period. As previously

discussed by the company, Schwab's year-to-date 2009 financial results have been impacted by revenue declines

stemming from falling interest rates and generally lower equity market valuations, which have been partially offset by

expense reduction measures.

Chairman Charles Schwab said, "The equity markets' sustained rebound from March lows has reminded us all of

the importance of developing an investment plan and sticking with it in all market cycles. Here at Schwab, we have seen

the fear that gripped investor sentiment in 2008 and early 2009 begin to subside, with branch, website, and phone traffic

all showing signs that more individuals are reexamining their investing strategies and looking for direction in managing

their investments for the future. Our clients know they can turn to us for help in finding the right path forward - help that

we provide through a combination of time-tested investment principles, market and economic perspectives and

personalized guidance, along with access to the independent investment advisors served by the company. These

capabilities are part of the uniquely comprehensive range of advice, products and services - at a great value - available to

assist our clients with achieving their individual objectives. In addition, after yet another quarter of solid operating

performance, Schwab maintains the financial strength and stability that investors expect in a trusted financial services

relationship."

CEO Walt Bettinger said, "It's clear that our clients have no intention of setting aside their financial affairs in the

face of even the toughest environments - and that they need and expect Schwab to be ready to help them regardless of

current conditions. Right now, some individuals are relying on professional guidance to rebuild their participation in the

equity markets, while others remain more comfortable emphasizing low-risk cash and FDIC-insured deposit products. In

addition, the independent advisors served by Schwab are seeing increased demand for their expertise. Overall, we

attracted another $20 billion in net new assets during the third quarter, added 181,000 new brokerage accounts, and ended

the quarter with banking accounts and retirement plan participants up 67% and 10%, respectively, over year-earlier levels.

Total client assets reached $1.36 trillion, up 5%, reflecting both improved equity market valuations and our success in

continuing to attract and retain clients."

"Ultimately, further growth in our client base will be heavily influenced by how well we serve our clients, so we

continue to balance appropriate investment in our client service capabilities with disciplined financial management as we

deal with revenue headwinds," Mr. Bettinger said. "While growth in assets and accounts are direct measures of progress

for us, we believe the fact that our internal measure of client loyalty - known as our Client Promoter Score - is actually

higher now than at the beginning of the financial crisis, as well as our recent first-place finish in the 2009 J.D. Power Self-

Directed Investor Study of client satisfaction, are both strong endorsements of our approach."

CFO Joe Martinetto commented, "Our financial picture continues to evolve as expected given the environment,

with a healthy balance sheet and solid profitability even in the face of ongoing revenue pressures. Impairment losses on

our investment portfolio remain contained and centered in our holdings of Alt-A mortgage-backed securities - creditrelated

charges recognized during the quarter totaled $11 million. In addition, the delinquency, nonaccrual, and loan loss

reserve ratios for Schwab Bank's loan portfolio were 0.78%, 0.37%, and 0.63%, respectively, at month-end September,

remaining well below national averages. We have well over $1 billion in readily available cash at the Parent level and we

retain ample flexibility to support the company's ongoing growth."

Mr. Martinetto added, "Our third quarter revenues were down 19% from the year-earlier period, reflecting the

headwinds we've been discussing for some time. Net interest revenue declined 34% year-over-year despite continued

growth in client cash balances as further reductions in short-term interest rates lowered investment portfolio yields. Asset

management and administration fees were helped by improving asset valuations, but money market fund fee waivers

increased to $78 million as anticipated, resulting in a 24% decline. In addition, client trading activity slowed modestly

from year-earlier levels, leading to a 4% drop in trading revenues. By sticking to our expense commitments, we were able

to reduce costs by 8% for the quarter, which enabled the company to achieve a 32% pre-tax profit margin and a 17%

return on equity."
