Investment banking fees were $7.73 billion,

24% higher than 2023, primarily reflecting significantly higher net revenues in Debt underwriting, primarily driven by leveraged finance activity, and in Equity underwriting, primarily driven by secondary and initial

Net revenues in FICC were $2.74 billion, 35% higher than the fourth

revenues in credit products, partially offset by lower net revenues in commodities. Net revenues in interest rate products were essentially unchanged. Net revenues in FICC financing were also significantly higher, primarily driven by

mortgages and structured lending.

Net revenues in Equities were

$3.45 billion, 32% higher than the fourth quarter of 2023, due to significantly higher net revenues in Equities intermediation, primarily driven by cash products, and in Equities financing, driven

Asset & Wealth Management

Full Year

Net revenues in Asset & Wealth

Management were $16.14 billion for 2024, 16% higher than 2023, primarily reflecting significantly higher net revenues in Equity investments and higher Management and other fees. In addition, net revenues in Private banking and lending

and Incentive fees were higher, while net revenues in Debt investments were lower.

The increase in Equity investments net revenues primarily reflected

significantly higher net gains from investments in private equities (largely reflecting the impact of net losses in real estate investments in the prior year). The increase in Management and other fees primarily reflected the impact

of higher average assets under supervision. The increase in Private banking and lending net revenues primarily reflected the impact of the sale of the Marcus loan portfolio in 2023 (including net revenues of approximately $(370)

million related to the sale of substantially all of the portfolio) and the impact of higher direct-to-consumer deposit balances. The increase in Incentive fees was driven by harvesting. The decrease in Debt investments net revenues

reflected lower net interest income due to a reduction in the debt investments balance sheet, partially offset by net gains in the current year compared with net losses (particularly in real estate investments) in the prior

year.

Management and other fees, significantly higher Incentive fees and higher net revenues in Private banking and lending, partially offset by significantly lower net revenues in Debt investments and lower net revenues in Equity

investments.

The increase in Management and other fees primarily reflected the

impact of higher average assets under supervision. The increase in Incentive fees was driven by harvesting. The increase in Private banking and lending net revenues primarily reflected the impact of higher deposit balances. The

decrease in Debt investments net revenues reflected lower net interest income due to a reduction in the debt investments balance sheet. The decrease in Equity investments net revenues primarily reflected the impact of the net gain

related to the sale of Personal Financial Management in the prior year period, partially offset by significantly higher mark-to-market net gains from investments in public equities.

Platform Solutions

Full Year

Net revenues in Platform Solutions were $2.43 billion for 2024, 2% higher than 2023, reflecting slightly higher net revenues in Consumer platforms.

The increase in Consumer platforms net revenues reflected higher average credit card balances and higher average deposit balances, largely offset by the impact of the

planned transition of the General Motors (GM) credit card program to another issuer.

Transaction banking and other net revenues were lower, primarily reflecting lower net revenues related to the seller financing loan portfolio.

2024. The increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected higher net revenues in Consumer platforms.

Full Year

Operating expenses were $33.77 billion

for 2024, 2% lower than 2023. The firm’s efficiency ratio3 was 63.1% for 2024, compared with 74.6% for 2023.

Operating expenses, compared with 2023, reflected decreases driven by significantly lower expenses, including impairments, related to commercial real estate in consolidated investment entities (CIEs) (largely in depreciation

and amortization) and other significant expenses recognized in the prior year, including the write-down of intangibles related to GreenSky and an impairment of goodwill related to Consumer platforms (both in depreciation and amortization), and the

FDIC special assessment fee (in other expenses). These decreases were partially offset by higher compensation and benefits expenses (reflecting improved operating performance) and higher transaction based expenses.

Net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings were $166 million for 2024 compared with $115 million for 2023.

Headcount increased 3% during 2024.

Provision for Taxes

The effective income tax rate for 2024

was 22.4%, down from 22.6% for the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of earnings. The 2024 effective income tax rate increased from 20.7% for 2023, primarily due to a decrease in the impact of

permanent tax benefits for 2024 compared with 2023, partially offset by changes in the geographic mix of earnings.

“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

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

ROE is calculated by dividing net earnings

(or annualized net earnings for annualized ROE) applicable to common shareholders by average monthly common shareholders’ equity. ROTE is calculated by dividing net

earnings (or annualized net earnings for annualized ROTE) 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:

For information about the following items, see the referenced sections in Part I,

Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024: (i) Investment banking fees

backlog – see “Results of Operations – Global Banking & Markets,” (ii) assets under supervision – see “Results of Operations – Asset & Wealth Management – Assets Under Supervision,”

(iii) efficiency ratio – see “Results of Operations – Operating Expenses,” (iv) share repurchase program – see “Capital Management and Regulatory Capital – Capital Management,” (v) global core liquid

assets – see “Risk Management – Liquidity Risk Management,” (vi) basic shares – see “Balance Sheet and Funding Sources – Balance Sheet Analysis and Metrics” and (vii) VaR – see “Risk Management

– Market Risk Management.”

For information about the following items, see the referenced sections in Part I, Item 1

“Financial Statements (Unaudited)” in the firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024: (i) risk-based capital ratios and the supplementary leverage ratio – see Note 20

“Regulation and Capital Adequacy,” (ii) geographic net revenues – see Note 25 “Business Segments” and (iii) unvested share-based awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or

dividend equivalents in calculating basic EPS – see Note 21 “Earnings Per Common Share.”

Represents a preliminary estimate for the fourth quarter of 2024 for the firm’s assets under

supervision, capital ratios, risk-weighted assets, supplementary leverage ratio, balance sheet data, global core liquid assets and VaR. These may be revised in the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

December 31, 2024.

4.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, revenues relating to certain short-term foreign currency

swaps used in connection with the firm’s funding strategy are classified within non-interest revenues to better align with the classification for similar foreign currency derivatives. Previously, such revenues were included within

net interest income ($234 million for the first quarter of 2024, $252 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $276 million for the third quarter of 2024). This change has no impact to total net revenues of the firm.

Amounts previously reported for the first, second and third quarters of 2024 have been conformed to the current presentation. Revenues related to such swaps were not material for 2023, and therefore no adjustments have been made to prior

year amounts.

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 included $869 million in Global Banking

& Markets, $713 million in Asset & Wealth Management and $763 million in Platform Solutions, and for 2024 included $2.41 billion in Global Banking & Markets, $2.80 billion in Asset & Wealth Management and

$2.86 billion in Platform Solutions.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
