INTRODUCTION

The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC) is a savings and loan holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Schwab or the Company), in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services.

Principal business subsidiaries of CSC include the following:

  • Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (CS&Co), a securities broker-dealer;
  • Charles Schwab Bank, SSB (Schwab Bank), Schwab's principal banking entity; and
  • Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab's proprietary mutual funds (Schwab Funds®), and Schwab's exchange-traded funds (Schwab ETFsTM).

Schwab provides financial services to individuals and institutional clients through two segments - Investor Services and Advisor Services.

The basis of consolidation that CSC uses for regulatory reporting is consistent with the basis used for reporting under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

OVERVIEW

This document, and certain of Schwab's public filings, present the regulatory capital disclosures in compliance with Basel III as set forth in 12 C.F.R. §217.63 - Disclosures by institutions regulated by the Federal Reserve Board ("Federal Reserve") and 12 C.F.R. § 217.173 (c) (collectively referred to as the Rules). Schwab's Annual Report on 2019 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (2019 Form 10-K) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020 (Form 10-Q) filed with the SEC contain management's discussion of the overall corporate risk profile of Schwab and related management strategies. These Basel III Regulatory Capital Disclosures should be read in conjunction with the 2019 Form 10-K, the Form 10-Q, the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies dated September 30, 2020 (FR Y-9C), the Regulatory Capital Reporting for Institutions Subject to the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework dated September 30, 2020 (FFIEC 101) and the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income for a Bank with Domestic and Foreign Offices for the period ended September 30, 2020 (FFIEC 031). Schwab's Disclosure Matrix (see pages 3-9) specifies where the disclosures required by the Rules are located.

CURRENT REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

In October 2019, the Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation jointly adopted a final rule which became effective on December 31, 2019 (interagency regulatory capital and liquidity rules) that revised the regulatory capital and liquidity requirements for large U.S. banking organizations with $100 billion or more in total consolidated assets. The rules established four risk-based categories for determining the regulatory capital and liquidity requirements applicable to these institutions based on their total assets, cross-jurisdictional activity, weighted short-term wholesale funding, nonbank assets, and off-balance sheet exposure. CSC is subject to the requirements under Category III based on its total consolidated assets of between $250 billion and less than $700 billion and having less than $75 billion in cross-jurisdictional activity.

Capital requirements for Category III banking organizations include the generally applicable risk-based capital and Tier 1 Leverage Ratio requirements (the "standardized approach" framework), the minimum 3.0% supplementary leverage ratio, and the countercyclical capital buffer which is currently 0%. Category III organizations are no longer subject to the "advanced approaches" regulatory capital framework and are permitted to opt out of including AOCI in their regulatory capital calculations. CSC made this opt out election, and commencing with the first quarter of 2020, now excludes AOCI from its regulatory capital.

Effective March 20, 2020, Schwab Bank and Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB (CSPB) converted to Texas-chartered state savings banks. Schwab Bank and CSPB became members of the Federal Reserve System and are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve and the Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending.

(1)In the interagency regulatory capital and liquidity rules adopted in October 2019, Category III banking organizations such as CSC were given the ability to opt-out of the inclusion of AOCI in regulatory capital, and CSC made this opt-out election as of January 1, 2020. See Current Regulatory Environment and Other Developments for information on recently issued rules that will impact Schwab's regulatory capital requirements.

Under the Basel III capital rule (the Capital Rule), banking organizations are also required to maintain a capital conservation buffer and, beginning in 2019, a countercyclical capital buffer above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer is 2.5%. At September 30, 2020, the countercyclical capital buffer was zero percent. If either buffer falls below the minimum requirement, the banking organization would be subject to limits on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. For September 30, 2020, the minimum capital requirement plus capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer for Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios was 7.0%, 8.5%, and 10.5%, respectively. At September 30, 2020, both CSC's and Schwab Bank's capital levels exceeded the fully implemented capital conservation buffer requirement.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk refers to the potential for loss due to a borrower, counterparty, or issuer failing to perform its contractual obligations. A foreign country is defined as any country other than the United States.

The following tables present certain of the Company's on- and off-balance sheet positions for which the Company is subject to credit risk exposure. These amounts do not include the effects of certain credit risk mitigation techniques (i.e. collateral and netting not permitted under U.S. GAAP), and amounts related to items that are deducted from regulatory capital.

The following tables are presented on a U.S. GAAP basis and reflect amounts by product type, region (as determined by the legal domicile of the counterparty), remaining contractual maturity and counterparty type.

CREDIT EXPOSURE BY GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATIONS

The Company reports its loans into two different Loans Held for Investment (LHFI) portfolios: 1) the Mortgage Lending Portfolio and 2) the Securities-Based Lending Portfolio.

Mortgage Lending Portfolio

The bank loan portfolio includes First Mortgages, HELOCs, and other loans. The credit risk exposure related to loans is actively managed through individual loan and portfolio reviews. The Company records an allowance for credit losses through a charge to earnings based on our estimate of current expected credit losses for the existing portfolio. We review the allowance for credit losses quarterly, taking into consideration current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, the composition of the existing loan portfolio, past loss experience, and any other risks inherent in the portfolio to ensure that the allowance for credit losses is maintained at an appropriate level.

The Company's residential loan underwriting guidelines include maximum LTV ratios, cash out limits, and minimum Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit scores. The specific guidelines are dependent on the individual characteristics of a loan (for example, whether the property is a primary or secondary residence, whether the loan is for investment property, whether the loan is for an initial purchase of a home or refinance of an existing home, and whether the loan size is conforming or jumbo).

The Company does not originate or purchase residential loans that allow for negative amortization and does not originate or 12

purchase subprime loans (generally defined as extensions of credit to borrowers with a FICO score of less than 620 at origination), unless the borrower has compensating credit factors.

The loans are placed on nonaccrual status upon becoming 90 days past due as to interest or principal (unless the loans are well- secured and in the process of collection), or when the full timely collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain, including loans to borrowers who have filed for bankruptcy. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued interest receivable is written off by reversing interest income and the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. Generally, a nonaccrual loan may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal is repaid and the borrower demonstrates a sustained period of performance, or when the loan is both well- secured and in the process of collection and collectability is no longer doubtful. Loans on nonaccrual status are considered nonperforming assets.

Securities-Based Lending Portfolio

Collateral arrangements relating to margin loans and Pledged Asset Lines (PALs) include provisions that require additional collateral in the event of market fluctuations. Additionally, for margin loans and PALs, collateral arrangements require that the fair value of such collateral sufficiently exceeds the credit exposure in order to maintain a fully secured position. Collateral market value is monitored on a daily basis and a borrower's credit line may be reduced or collateral may be liquidated if the collateral is in danger of falling below specified levels.

The following table provides additional information on the geographic concentration of the combined mortgage and securities lending portfolio at September 30, 2020.

SECURITIZATIONS

The disclosures in this section refer to securitizations held in the Company's investment portfolio, and the regulatory capital related to these exposures calculated according to the Capital Rule. The Capital Rule defines securitization exposures as on- balance sheet and off-balance sheet credit exposures that result from traditional securitizations, synthetic securitizations, or resecuritizations. Traditional and synthetic securitizations arise when:

  1. The credit risk of one or more underlying exposures is transferred to one or more third parties, and the underlying exposures is separated into at least two tranches reflecting different levels of seniority,
  2. performance of the exposure depends upon the performance of the underlying assets, and
  3. substantially all of the underlying assets are considered financial.

The difference between traditional and synthetic securitizations is that unlike traditional securitizations, synthetic securitizations transfer credit risk through the use of credit derivatives or guarantees. Resecuritizations are exposures that directly or indirectly reference a securitization exposure. Participants in securitization markets are typically originators, investors, or sponsors. The Company's securitization-related activity includes investing in products created by third parties, and the Company does not sponsor or originate securitizations. Securitization exposures held in the Company's investment portfolio include traditional agency and non-agencyasset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities. Residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), usually do not include credit tranching. Since the existence of credit tranches is a factor in determining whether an exposure qualifies for securitization treatment, agency pass-through residential MBS usually do not meet the Capital Rule's definition of securitization exposures. The Company utilizes the gross-up approach to determine risk-weighted assets for its securitization exposures. This approach considers the Company's seniority in the securitization structure and risk factors inherent in the

13

underlying assets. The Company has a relatively low overall risk appetite, and generally invests in senior tranches, which do not require grossing-up.

The Company does not have any synthetic securitization exposure and does not act as a sponsor or guarantor; therefore, the following tables relate to the Company as an investor.

EQUITIES NOT SUBJECT TO THE MARKET RISK CAPITAL RULE

The Company has total equity exposures of approximately $1.026 billion at September 30, 2020. This includes trading assets totaling $354 million held for operational customer accommodation purposes and investments made relating to the Company's deferred compensation plan. These are recorded at fair value. Other individual investments are related to the Company's low- income tax credit (LIHTC) investments of $583 million, investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB) stock totaling $47 million, and community reinvestment activities totaling $67 million. The LIHTC investments are accounted for using the proportional amortization method.

  4. The Company applies the simple modified look-through approach to equity exposures that are mutual funds.

SUPPLEMENTARY LEVERAGE RATIO

In the interagency regulatory capital and liquidity rules adopted in October 2019, Category III banking organizations such as CSC were given the ability to opt-out of the inclusion of AOCI in regulatory capital, and CSC made this opt-out election as of January 1, 2020. Additionally, CSC is subject to the supplementary leverage ratio (SLR), which is calculated as Tier 1 capital divided by the total leverage exposure (see update in Current Regulatory Environment and Other Developments section). The total leverage exposure includes all on-balance sheet assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures, including unused commitments. The Company is required to maintain a supplementary leverage ratio of 3.0%. At September 30, 2020, the Company's SLR of 5.6% exceeded the minimum requirement.

The following table presents the Company's consolidated total assets under GAAP and the supplementary leverage exposure.
