1Q25 Financial Commentary

  • Quarterly net revenues grew year-over-year by 18% to a record $5.6 billion
  • Net interest margin expanded sequentially by 20 basis points to 2.53%
  • Client transactional sweep cash balances ended at $407.8 billion, a sequential decline of $10.8 billion, reflecting typical first quarter seasonality as well as client net equity selling during the back half of the quarter
  • Bank Supplemental Funding (2) declined $11.8 billion during the quarter to $38.1 billion at March month-end
  • Asset management and administration fees increased by 14% year-over-year to $1.5 billion as organic growth and product utilization more than offset the impact of recent equity market weakness
  • Trading revenue increased 11% versus 1Q24 due to higher volumes
  • GAAP expenses for the quarter increased 7% versus 1Q24; excluding first quarter amortization of acquired intangibles of $130 million, adjusted total expenses (1) were up 8% year-over-year
  • Capital ratios across the firm continued to strengthen – including preliminary consolidated Tier 1 Leverage and adjusted Tier 1 Leverage (1) reaching 9.9% and 7.1%, respectively
  • Increased the quarterly common stock dividend by 8% to $.27 per share
  • Repurchased 19.2 million shares of our common stock for $1.5 billion in connection with The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s secondary offer
