Net Revenues
Full Year
Net revenues were $58.28 billion for 2025, 9% higher than 2024, reflecting higher net
revenues in Global Banking & Markets, partially offset by significantly lower net
revenues in Platform Solutions (which reflected a reduction in net revenues of $2.26
billion from markdowns on the outstanding credit card portfolio related to the transfer
of the Apple Card loans to held for sale and contract termination obligations in
connection with the agreement to transition the program to another issuer, which was
more than offset by a related reserve reduction of $2.48 billion in provision for credit
losses).
Fourth Quarter
Net revenues were $13.45 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025, 3% lower than the
fourth quarter of 2024 and 11% lower than the third quarter of 2025. The decrease
compared with the fourth quarter of 2024 reflected negative net revenues in Platform
Solutions (which reflected a reduction in net revenues of $2.26 billion from
markdowns on the outstanding credit card portfolio related to the transfer of the
Apple Card loans to held for sale and contract termination obligations in connection
with the agreement to transition the program to another issuer, which was more than
offset by a related reserve reduction of $2.48 billion in provision for credit losses),
largely offset by significantly higher net revenues in Global Banking & Markets.

Global Banking & Markets
Full Year
Net revenues in Global Banking & Markets2 were $41.45 billion for 2025, 18% higher
than 2024.
Investment banking fees were $9.34 billion, 21% higher than 2024, primarily due to
significantly higher net revenues in Advisory, reflecting a significant increase in
completed mergers and acquisitions volumes. Net revenues in Debt underwriting
were higher, reflecting significantly higher net revenues from asset-backed and
investment-grade activity. Net revenues in Equity underwriting were also higher,
reflecting significantly higher net revenues from initial public and convertible
offerings, partially offset by lower net revenues from secondary offerings. The firm’s
Investment banking fees backlog3 increased significantly compared with the end of
2024.
Net revenues in Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (FICC) were $14.52
billion, 9% higher than 2024, primarily reflecting higher net revenues in FICC
intermediation, due to significantly higher net revenues in interest rate products and
slightly higher net revenues in currencies and commodities, partially offset by lower
net revenues in mortgages and credit products. The increase also reflected higher
net revenues in FICC financing, primarily driven by higher net revenues in mortgages
and structured lending.
Net revenues in Equities were $16.54 billion, 23% higher than 2024, due to
significantly higher net revenues in Equities financing, driven by significantly higher
net revenues in prime financing and portfolio financing, and higher net revenues in
Equities intermediation, primarily driven by higher net revenues in derivatives.
Net revenues in Other were $1.06 billion compared with $561 million for 2024, with
the increase primarily reflecting significantly higher net revenues from relationship
lending activities.

quarter of 2025.
Investment banking fees were $2.58 billion, 25% higher than the fourth quarter of
2024, primarily due to significantly higher net revenues in Advisory, reflecting a
significant increase in completed mergers and acquisitions volumes. Net revenues in

asset-backed activity. Net revenues in Equity underwriting were slightly higher. The
firm’s Investment banking fees backlog3 increased compared with the end of the third

Asset & Wealth Management
Full Year
Net revenues in Asset & Wealth Management2 were $16.68 billion for 2025, 2%
higher than 2024, reflecting higher Management and other fees, higher net revenues
in Private banking and lending and, to a lesser extent, higher Incentive fees, largely
offset by significantly lower net revenues in Investments.
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 payment of interest on a previously impaired loan
and higher net interest margin from lending. The increase in Incentive fees was
primarily driven by performance. The decrease in Investments net revenues primarily
reflected significantly lower net gains from investments in private equities and
significantly lower net interest income from debt investments due to a reduction in
the balance sheet.

quarter of 2025, essentially unchanged compared with the fourth quarter of 2024 and
7% higher than the third quarter of 2025. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2024,
significantly lower net revenues in Investments were largely offset by higher
Management and other fees.
The decrease in Investments net revenues primarily reflected net losses from
investments in public equities compared with net gains in the prior year period and
significantly lower net gains from investments in private equities. The increase in
Management and other fees primarily reflected the impact of higher average assets
under supervision.

related to the credit card portfolio (primarily driven by net charge-offs).

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.

Information regarding the firm’s assets under supervision, capital ratios, risk-weighted assets, supplementary leverage ratio,

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, changes in international
trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs, an outbreak or worsening of hostilities, 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

common shareholders’ equity. Average monthly common shareholders' equity was $108.73 billion for 2025 and $109.47 billion for the fourth quarter of
2025.
2.The firm made certain changes to its business segments, commencing with the fourth quarter of 2025. For information about these changes, see the
firm’s Form 8-K filed January 8, 2026. Reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation.
3.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, 2025: (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, 2025: (i) risk-based capital ratios and the supplementary leverage ratio – see Note 20 “Regulation

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, 2025.
4.The impact of tax benefits related to employee share-based awards was a reduction to provision for taxes for 2025 of approximately $620 million, which
increased diluted EPS by $1.95 and ROE by 0.5 percentage points.
5.Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, certain assets under supervision have been reclassified from fixed income to alternative investments to better
reflect the underlying investment strategies. Amounts for prior periods have been conformed to the current presentation.

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.
