Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

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

Significant business subsidiaries of CSC include the following:


•	Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a securities broker-dealer;


•	Charles Schwab Bank (Schwab Bank), a federal savings bank; and


•	Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwab’s proprietary mutual funds, which are referred to as the Schwab Funds ^® , and for Schwab’s exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are referred to as the Schwab ETFs™.

The Company provides financial services to individuals and institutional clients through two segments – Investor Services and Advisor Services. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage and banking services, retirement plan services, and other corporate brokerage services. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, banking, and support services as well as retirement business services.

Schwab was founded on the belief that average Americans deserve access to a better investing experience. Although much has changed in the intervening years, the Company’s purpose remains clear – to champion every client’s goals with passion and integrity. Guided by this purpose and the aspiration of creating the most trusted leader in investment services, management has adopted a strategy described as “Through Clients’ Eyes.”

Under this approach, the Company’s strategic goals are focused on putting clients’ perspectives, needs, and desires at the forefront. Because investing plays a fundamental role in building financial security, the Company strives to deliver a better investing experience for its clients – individual investors and the people and institutions who serve them – by disrupting longstanding industry practices on their behalf and providing superior service. The Company aims to offer a broad range of products and solutions to meet client needs with a focus on transparency and value. In addition, management works to couple the Company’s scale and resources with ongoing expense discipline to keep costs low and ensure that products and solutions are affordable as well as responsive to client needs. Finally, the Company aims to maximize its market valuation and stockholder returns over time.

Management estimates that investable wealth in the United States (U.S.) is currently well in excess of $30 trillion, which means the Company’s $3.18 trillion in client assets leaves substantial opportunity for growth. The Company’s strategy is based on the principle that developing trusted relationships will translate into more assets from both new and existing clients, ultimately driving more revenue and, along with expense discipline, generating earnings growth and building long-term stockholder value.

This Form 10-Q is intended to provide an update on the activity and results of operations for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2017 and should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Form 10-K. More information on the Company’s business operations, descriptions of revenue and expense categories, policies and procedures including the Company’s governance and monitoring programs is available in the 2016 Form 10-K. The Company’s recent annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, proxy statements, as well as other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), are available free of charge on the Company’s website, https://www.aboutschwab.com or by request via email (investor.relations@schwab.com), telephone (415-667-7000) or mail (Charles Schwab Investor Relations at 211 Main Street, San Francisco, CA 94105).

Management believes that the Company’s third quarter results demonstrate its financial model working as intended: driving robust business growth by winning with clients, generating strong revenue growth through multiple sources, and delivering outstanding financial results through sustained expense discipline.

Clients opened 336,000 new brokerage accounts during the quarter, bringing total brokerage accounts to 10.6 million at September 30, 2017 . At the same time, core net new assets gathered during the third quarter of 2017 were $51.6 billion compared to $30.0 billion for the same period a year ago. Total core net new assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $136.7 billion , contributing to total client assets reaching $3.18 trillion at quarter-end.

Strong client growth and an improved economic environment helped lift net interest revenue and asset management and administration fees. These increases supported overall net revenue growth of 13% and 16% , respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 when compared to the same periods in the prior year.

By managing overall expense growth to 9% and 10% , respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 when compared to the prior year, the Company was able to achieve pre-tax profit margins of 43.6% and 42.3% for the third quarter

and first nine months of 2017 – increases of 210 and 290 basis points, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The Company delivered a 15% return on average common stockholders’ equity in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 .

Subsequent Event

On October 31, 2017, the Company issued and sold 500,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/100 ^th ownership interest in a share of fixed-to-floating rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series F, $0.01 par value, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share). The Series F Preferred Stock has a fixed dividend rate of 5.00% through November 30, 2027, payable semi-annually, and thereafter a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus a fixed spread of 2.575%, payable quarterly. The net proceeds received from the sale were $492 million after deducting related expenses and fees.

Also on October 31, 2017, the Company announced that it will redeem on December 1, 2017, all of the outstanding shares of its 6.00% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series B, and the corresponding depositary shares. The redemption will be funded with the net proceeds from the Series F offering.

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)

Net interest revenue increased $ 237 million , or 28% , and $720 million , or 30% , in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 due to higher interest rates and growth in interest-earning assets driven by bank deposits.

Higher short-term interest rates reflecting the Federal Reserve’s March and June 2017 and December 2016 interest rate hikes, coupled with growth in interest-earning assets, have resulted in a 28 and 21 basis point improvement in net interest margins to 2.00% and 1.94% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 .

Compared to the prior year, the Company has grown bank deposits through a combination of:


•	Gathering additional assets from new and current clients;


•	Transferring uninvested cash balances in certain client brokerage accounts to Schwab Bank; and


•	Establishing the Schwab Bank sweep feature as the default investment option for uninvested cash balances within all new brokerage accounts as of June 2016.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , net interest revenue represented 49% of total net revenues, growing from 44% in the same period in the prior year.

In March 2017, the Company transferred $24.7 billion of debt securities from the available for sale (AFS) category to the held to maturity (HTM) category. The transfer had no effect on the overall net interest margin. For additional information on the transfer, see Item 1 – Note 3.

Trading Revenue

The following table presents trading revenue and the related drivers:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017		2016		Percent Change		2017		2016		Percent Change
Daily average revenue trades (in thousands)	312		268		16	%	313		291		8	%
Clients’ daily average trades (in thousands)	633		543		17	%	602		558		8	%
Number of trading days	62.5		64.0		(2	)%	187.5		189.0		(1	)%
Average revenue per revenue trade	$	7.74	$	11.17	(31	)%	$	8.52	$	11.30	(25	)%
Trading revenue	$	151	$	190	(21	)%	$	500	$	623	(20	)%

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company announced two trading price reductions which lowered standard equity, ETF, and option trade commissions from $8.95 to $4.95 and lowered the per contract option fee from $.75 to $.65. Trading revenue decreased by $ 39 million , or 21% , and $123 million , or 20% , in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to these pricing reductions. These reductions in commission rates reflect both the Company’s belief that pricing should never be an obstacle for choosing Schwab and the Company’s commitment to share the benefits of its scale with clients. With these changes, trading revenue represented 8% of total net revenues through the first nine months of 2017 compared to 11% for the same period in 2016 .

Other Revenue

Other revenue decreased by $5 million , or 7% , in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 largely due to litigation proceeds of $14 million relating to non-agency mortgage backed securities recorded in the third quarter of 2016 which did not reoccur in 2017 .

Other revenue increased $3 million , or 1% , in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily due to sublease income from office space in San Francisco, an increase in order flow revenue, and an increase in realized gains on sales of AFS securities, largely offset by the absence of litigation proceeds in 2017.

Order flow revenue was $29 million and $26 million during the third quarters of 2017 and 2016 and $82 million and $78 million during the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

At quarter end	17.3			16.1			7	%
Average	17.1			16.2			6	%	16.7			15.9			5	%

Salaries and wages increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to an increase in employee headcount to support the growth in the business and annual salary increases.

Incentive compensation increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to higher incentive plan costs related to increased net client asset flows and increased employee headcount.

Employee benefits and other expenses increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to higher payroll taxes and employer 401(k) matching contributions, which resulted from increased salaries and wages and incentive compensation.

Professional services expense increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to higher spending on technology projects and an increase in asset management and administration related expenses resulting from growth in the Schwab Funds ^® and Schwab ETFs™.

Depreciation and amortization expenses grew in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to higher amortization of internally developed software as projects were completed and placed into production.

Other expenses increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to an increase in the Company’s Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) assessments. The FDIC assessments rose as a result of higher bank deposits and the effect of the new surcharge that commenced in the third quarter of 2016.

Taxes on Income

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, which prospectively changes the accounting treatment of a portion of the tax deductions relating to equity compensation. These deductions were previously reflected directly in additional paid-in capital, a component of stockholders’ equity, and are now included in tax expense, a

component of net income. As a result of this change, the Company’s tax expense was reduced by approximately $11 million and $47 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 , respectively. Future effects will depend on the Company’s share price, restricted stock vesting, and the volume of equity incentive options exercised.

The Company’s effective income tax rate on income before taxes was 34.6% and 36.6% for the third quarters of 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and 34.9% and 37.0% for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 , respectively, which reflects the equity compensation benefit in the first nine months of 2017 as discussed above and state-related tax benefits recognized during the third quarter of 2017 .

Investor Services

Net revenues rose by 13% in the third quarter and 15% for the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to increases in net interest revenue and asset management and administration fees, partially offset by a decrease in trading revenue. Net interest revenue increased primarily due to higher net interest margins and higher balances of interest-earning assets. Asset management and administration fees increased primarily due to higher client assets enrolled in advisory solutions and mutual funds, and higher net fees on money market fund assets. Trading revenue decreased primarily due to the reductions in commissions rates announced earlier in the year.

Expenses excluding interest increased by 8% in the third quarter and 10% for the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, technology project spend and asset management and administration related expenses.

Advisor Services

Net revenues rose by 15% and 18% , in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to increases in net interest revenue and asset management and administration fees, partially offset by a decrease in trading revenue. Net interest revenue increased primarily due to higher balances of interest-earning assets and higher net interest margins. This growth in interest-earning assets was aided by the migration of more uninvested client cash balances in the segment to Schwab Bank. Asset management and administration fees increased primarily due to higher net fees on money market fund assets and growth in client assets invested in equity and bond funds and ETFs. Trading revenue decreased primarily due to the reductions in commissions rates announced earlier in the year.

Expenses excluding interest increased by 11% and 12% , in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 , primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, technology project spend, asset management and administration related expenses and FDIC regulatory assessments.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s business activities expose it to a variety of risks, including operational, credit, market, liquidity, and compliance risk. The Company has a comprehensive risk management program to identify and manage these risks and their associated potential for financial and reputational impact. For a discussion of the Company’s risk management programs, see Item 7 – Risk Management in the 2016 Form 10-K.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the potential for loss due to a borrower, counterparty, or issuer failing to perform on its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk mainly results from margin lending and client option and futures activities, securities lending, mortgage lending, pledged asset lending, its role as a counterparty in financial contracts, and other investing activities. Client investing activities often include the use of leverage through margin, options, and futures positions. The Company manages collateral concentrations at the account level and across client portfolios.

The credit risk exposure related to the Company’s bank loans is actively managed based on established underwriting principles and guidelines and is monitored through individual loan and portfolio reviews. Management regularly reviews asset quality, including concentrations, delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, charge-offs, and recoveries. All are factors in the determination of an appropriate allowance for loan losses. For more information on the Company’s credit quality indicators relating to its bank loans, see Item 1 – Note 4.

The Company also has exposure to concentration risk when holding large positions in financial instruments collateralized by assets with similar economic characteristics or in securities of a single issuer or within a particular industry or geographical area. The fair value of the Company’s investments in corporate debt securities and commercial paper totaled $10.3 billion at September 30, 2017 , with 44% issued by institutions in the financial services industry. For more information on the Company’s investment portfolios, see Item 1 – Note 3.

Market Risk

Market risk is the potential for changes in earnings or the value of financial instruments held by the Company as a result of fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, or market conditions.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from changes in market interest rates on its interest-earning assets relative to changes in the costs of its funding sources that finance these assets. The majority of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates. A portion of the Company’s investment portfolio is sensitive to changes in long-term interest rates.

Net Interest Revenue Simulation

For the Company’s net interest revenue sensitivity analysis, the Company uses net interest revenue simulation modeling techniques to evaluate and manage the effect of changing interest rates. The simulation includes all interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. Key variables in the simulation include the repricing of financial instruments, prepayment, reinvestment, and product pricing assumptions. The Company uses constant balances and prevailing market rates in the simulation assumptions in order to minimize the number of variables and to better isolate risks. The simulations involve assumptions that are inherently uncertain and, as a result, cannot precisely estimate net interest revenue or predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest revenue. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to balance growth or decline and the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies, including changes in asset and liability mix.

If the Company’s guidelines for its net interest revenue sensitivity are breached, management must report the breach to the Company’s Corporate Asset-Liability Management and Pricing Committee and establish a plan to address the interest rate risk. There were no breaches of the Company’s net interest revenue sensitivity risk limits during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , or year ended December 31, 2016 .

As represented by the simulations presented below, the Company’s investment strategy is structured to produce an increase in net interest revenue when interest rates rise and, conversely, a decrease in net interest revenue when interest rates fall.

The simulations in the following table assume that the asset and liability structure of the consolidated balance sheet would not be changed as a result of the simulated changes in interest rates. As the Company actively manages its consolidated balance sheet and interest rate exposure, in all likelihood the Company would take steps to manage additional interest rate exposure that could result from changes in the interest rate environment. The following table displays the simulated net interest revenue change over the next 12 months beginning September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 of a gradual 100 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates relative to prevailing market rates at the end of each reporting period:



	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Increase of 100 basis points	5.2	%	6.5	%
Decrease of 100 basis points	(8.3	)%	(9.8	)%

The change in net interest revenue sensitivities as of September 30, 2017 reflects the increase in short-term interest rates. An increase in short-term interest rates positively impacts net interest revenue as yields on interest-earning assets rise faster than the cost of funding sources. A decline in interest rates could negatively impact the yield on the Company’s investment and loan portfolio to a greater degree than an offsetting reduction in interest expense from funding sources, compressing net interest margin.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the potential that the Company will be unable to meet cash flow obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses. The Company’s primary source of funds is cash generated by client activity: bank deposits and cash balances in client brokerage accounts. Other sources of funds may include cash flows from operations, maturities and sales of investment securities, repayments on loans, lending securities held in client brokerage accounts, and cash provided by external financing.

To meet daily funding needs, the Company maintains liquidity in the form of overnight cash deposits and short-term investments. For unanticipated liquidity needs, the Company maintains a buffer of highly liquid investments, currently comprised of U.S. Treasury notes.

⁽¹⁾ See Item 1 – Note 7 for information on amounts outstanding. For additional information on the Company’s borrowing facilities, including financial covenants and other conditions of borrowing, see Item 7 – Liquidity Risk in the 2016 Form 10-K.

⁽²⁾ In June 2017, CSC entered into this facility, which is set to expire in June 2018. This facility replaced a similar facility that expired in June 2017. The funds under this facility are available for general corporate purposes.

CSC has a universal automatic shelf registration statement on file with the SEC, which enables it to issue debt, equity, and other securities.

On March 2, 2017, CSC issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that mature in 2027 . The Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 3.200% with interest payable semi-annually. CSC used the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes for general corporate purposes.

In September 2017, CSC’s $250 million, 6.375% Medium-Term Notes, Series A (Medium-Term Notes), matured.

CSC’s ratings for commercial paper notes are P1 by Moody’s, A1 by Standard & Poor’s, and F1 by Fitch. CSC’s Senior Notes are rated A2 by Moody’s, A by Standard & Poor’s, and A by Fitch. CSC’s preferred stock is rated Baa2 by Moody’s, BBB by Standard & Poor’s, and BB+ by Fitch. For further discussion of CSC’s debt and equity, see Item 1 – Note 7 and Note 11.

Beginning on January 1, 2016, the Company became subject to the modified liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) rule which was fully phased in on January 1, 2017 and requires CSC to hold High Quality Liquid Assets equal to at least 70% of projected net cash outflows over a 30-day period, as defined by the rule. At September 30, 2017 , the Company was in compliance with the fully phased-in modified LCR rule. For additional information on the LCR rule, see Item 1 – Business – Regulation in the 2016 Form 10‑K.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company seeks to manage capital to a level and composition sufficient to support execution of its business strategy, including anticipated balance sheet growth, providing financial support to its subsidiaries, and sustained access to the capital markets, while at the same time meeting its regulatory capital requirements and serving as a source of financial strength to Schwab Bank.

The Company’s primary sources of capital are funds generated by the operations of its subsidiaries and securities issuances by CSC in the capital markets. To ensure that it has a sufficient amount of capital to absorb unanticipated losses or declines in asset values, the Company has adopted a policy to remain well capitalized even in stressed scenarios. For a description of the Company’s internal guidelines, monitoring and governance processes, see Item 7 – Capital Management in the 2016 Form 10‑K.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

CSC and Schwab Bank are subject to various capital requirements set by regulatory agencies as discussed in further detail in the 2016 Form 10-K and in Item 1 – Note 14. As of September 30, 2017 , CSC and Schwab Bank are considered well capitalized.

The following table details CSC’s and Schwab Bank’s capital ratios as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 :



	September 30, 2017						December 31, 2016

⁽¹⁾ CSC and Schwab Bank have elected to opt-out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in regulatory capital, including Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital. The year after the Company surpasses $250 billion in consolidated assets, it can no longer exclude AOCI from regulatory capital.

Schwab Bank is also subject to regulatory requirements that restrict and govern the terms of affiliate transactions. In addition, Schwab Bank is required to provide notice to, and may be required to obtain approval from, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve to declare dividends to CSC.

The Company’s broker-dealer subsidiaries (Schwab and optionsXpress, Inc. (optionsXpress)) are subject to regulatory requirements of the Uniform Net Capital Rule. At September 30, 2017 , Schwab and optionsXpress exceeded their net capital requirements.

In addition to the capital requirements above, the Company’s subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory requirements that are intended to ensure financial soundness and liquidity. See Item 1 – Note 14 for additional information on the components of stockholders’ equity and information on the capital requirements of each of the subsidiaries.

OTHER

Foreign Holdings

At September 30, 2017 , the Company had exposure to non-sovereign financial and non-financial institutions in foreign countries of $6.8 billion , with the fair value of the top three exposures being to issuers and counterparties domiciled in Sweden at $1.9 billion , France at $1.8 billion , and Canada at $0.8 billion .

Additionally, at September 30, 2017 , the Company held AFS and HTM securities with a total fair value of $100 million issued by agencies of foreign governments. These securities are explicitly guaranteed by governments of the issuing agencies.

The Company does not have unfunded commitments to counterparties in foreign countries, nor does it have exposure as a result of credit default protection purchased or sold separately as of September 30, 2017 .

In addition to the direct holdings in foreign companies and securities issued by foreign government agencies, the Company has indirect exposure to foreign countries through its investments in CSIM money market funds (collectively, the Funds) resulting from brokerage clearing activities. At September 30, 2017 , the Company had $67 million in investments in these Funds. Certain of the Funds’ positions include certificates of deposits, time deposits, commercial paper, and corporate debt securities issued by counterparties in foreign countries. Additionally, at September 30, 2017 , the Company had outstanding margin loans to foreign residents of $546 million .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company enters into various off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business, primarily to meet the needs of its clients. These arrangements include firm commitments to extend credit. Additionally, the Company enters into guarantees and other similar arrangements in the ordinary course of business. For information on each of these arrangements, see Item 1 – Note 4, Note 5, Note 7, and Note 8 , and Item 8 – Note 15 in the 2016 Form 10-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity are discussed in Part II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates in the 2016 Form 10-K. With the exception of adding Income Taxes, there have been no other changes to critical accounting estimates during the first nine months of 2017 .

Income Taxes

The Company estimates income tax expense based on amounts expected to be owed to the various tax jurisdictions in which it operates, including federal, state and local domestic jurisdictions, and immaterial amounts owed to several foreign jurisdictions. The estimated income tax expense is reported in the consolidated statements of income. Accrued taxes are reported in other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent the net estimated amount due to or to be received from taxing jurisdictions either currently or deferred to future periods. Deferred taxes arise from differences between assets and liabilities measured for financial reporting purposes versus income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized if, in management’s judgment, their realizability is determined to be more likely than not. Uncertain tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize. An uncertain tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit management believes is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. In estimating accrued taxes, the Company assesses the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment considering statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance in the context of the tax position. Because of the complexity of tax laws and regulations, interpretation can be difficult and subject to legal judgment given specific facts and circumstances.

Changes in the estimate of accrued taxes occur periodically due to changes in tax rates, interpretations of tax laws, the status of examinations being conducted by various taxing authorities, and newly enacted statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance that impacts the relative merits and risks of tax positions. These changes, when they occur, affect accrued taxes and can be significant to the operating results of the Company.

1. Introduction and Basis of Presentation

CSC is a savings and loan holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries, in wealth management, securities brokerage, banking, asset management, custody, and financial advisory services. Schwab is a securities broker-dealer with over 345 domestic branch offices in 46 states, as well as a branch in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In addition, Schwab serves clients in London, England and Hong Kong through one of CSC’s subsidiaries. Other subsidiaries include Schwab Bank, a federal savings bank, and CSIM, the investment advisor for Schwab Funds ^® and Schwab ETFs™.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include CSC and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, referred to as the Company). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying financial statements. Certain estimates relate to other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) of investment securities, valuation of goodwill, allowance for loan losses, legal and regulatory reserves, and income taxes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company’s results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2016 Form 10-K.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in Note 2 in the 2016 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these accounting policies during the first nine months of 2017 except as described in Note 2 below.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company evaluates for consolidation all entities in which it has financial interests, except for money market funds which are specifically excluded from consolidation guidance. For an entity subject to consolidation, the Company evaluates whether the Company’s interest in the entity constitutes a controlling financial interest under either the variable interest entity (VIE) model or a voting interest entity (VOE) model. Based upon the Company’s assessments, the Company is not deemed to have a controlling financial interest in and, therefore, is not required to consolidate any VIEs. See Note 5 for further information about VIEs. The Company consolidates all VOEs in which it has majority-voting interests.

For investments in entities in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, the Company accounts for those investments under the equity method of accounting when the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing decisions of the entity. Investments in entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are generally carried at cost. Both equity method and cost method investments are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2. New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company adopted ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718),” on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2017. This guidance requires entities to recognize the income tax effects for the difference between GAAP and federal income tax treatment (i.e., excess tax benefit or deficiency) of share-based awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, rather than recording such effects in additional paid-in capital. As a result, the Company’s tax expense was reduced by approximately $11 million and $ 47 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 , respectively. Future effects will depend on the Company’s share price, restricted stock vesting, and the volume of equity incentive options exercised. ASU 2016-09 also provides entities with an accounting policy election to account for the impact of forfeitures of awards on compensation expense as they occur or continue with the current practice of estimating forfeitures at the grant date to determine the number of awards expected to vest and adjusting that estimate as necessary. The Company has elected to continue to follow the current practice of estimating forfeitures.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” provides new guidance on revenue recognition. The guidance clarifies that revenue from contracts with customers should be recognized in a manner that depicts the timing of the related transfer of goods or performance of services at an amount that reflects the expected consideration. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has subsequently issued several amendments to the standard, including deferral of the effective date until January 1, 2018, clarification of principal versus agent considerations, narrow scope improvements, and other technical corrections. Entities may elect either full or modified retrospective transition. Full retrospective transition will require a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the earliest comparative period presented. Modified retrospective transition will require a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the new guidance.

The Company plans to adopt the revenue recognition guidance in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The guidance does not apply to the Company’s loans and securities. Accordingly, the Company does not expect an impact to net interest revenue. The Company believes the primary areas of potential impact for the Company are (i) the capitalization of costs to obtain a contract and (ii) gross versus net presentation of certain revenue streams in the income statement. The Company believes adoption of this guidance will likely alter the timing of recognition for costs to obtain a contract in the income statement. The next phase of the Company’s implementation work is to evaluate the disclosure provisions. The Company does not expect this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements and EPS.

ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10),” will be effective January 1, 2018 and requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of initial application, except for certain changes that require prospective adoption. The main provisions of the guidance require: (i) equity investments to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income, unless the equity method is applied or the equity investments do not have readily determinable fair values in which case a practical alternative may be elected; (ii) use of an exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosures; and (iii) separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of instrument on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes. The Company does not expect this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements and EPS.

ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” amends the accounting for leases by lessees and lessors. The primary change from the new guidance is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Additional changes include accounting for lease origination and executory costs, required lessee reassessments during the lease term due to changes in circumstances, and expanded lease disclosures. ASU 2016-02 will become effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and requires entities to apply the new guidance using a modified retrospective transition. Modified retrospective transition requires entities to apply the new guidance as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first applies the new standard. Certain transition relief is permitted if elected by the entity. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in the Company recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet based on the present value of remaining operating lease payments (see Note 14 of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K for the undiscounted future annual minimum rental commitments for operating leases). The Company does not expect this guidance will have a material impact on its EPS.

ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” provides new guidance for recognizing impairment of most debt instruments measured at amortized cost, including loans and held to maturity (HTM) debt securities. The new guidance will require estimating current expected credit losses (CECL) over the remaining life of an instrument or a portfolio of instruments with similar risk characteristics based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts. The initial estimate of, and the subsequent changes in, CECL will be recognized as credit loss expense through current earnings and will be reflected as an allowance for credit losses offsetting the carrying value of the financial instrument(s) on the balance sheet. The new guidance also amends the OTTI model for AFS debt securities by requiring the use of an allowance, rather than directly reducing the carrying value of the security, and eliminating consideration of the length of time such security has been in an unrealized loss position as a factor in concluding whether a credit loss exists. ASU 2016-13 will become effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2019. The new guidance will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the entity applies the new guidance except that a prospective transition is required for AFS debt securities for which an OTTI had been recognized before the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and EPS.

ASU 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,” shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendments are applicable to any purchased individual debt security with an explicit and noncontingent call feature that is callable at a fixed price on a preset date. The amendments do not impact the accounting for callable debt securities held at a discount. ASU 2017-08 will become effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted including in an interim period. The amendments will be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statements and EPS.

The increase in the HTM portfolio at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to the transfer of $24.7 billion of investment securities from the AFS category to the HTM category during the first quarter of 2017 . These securities had a total net unrealized loss of $227 million before income tax in AOCI on the date of transfer. The transfer was made to mitigate the potential volatility in regulatory capital from changes in market values in the AFS securities portfolio

and the related impact to AOCI once the Company crosses $250 billion in consolidated assets. The year after the Company surpasses $250 billion in consolidated assets, it can no longer exclude AOCI from regulatory capital. The transfer included U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities, and U.S. state and municipal securities. The unrealized holding gains and losses on the date of transfer are reported as a separate component of AOCI and as an adjustment to the purchase premium and discount on the securities transferred. The separate component of AOCI will be amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the securities transferred, offsetting the revised premium or discount amortization or accretion on the transferred assets .

Schwab Bank pledges securities issued by federal agencies to secure certain trust deposits. The fair value of these pledged securities was $936 million at September 30, 2017 .

Troubled debt restructurings were not material at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016 .

In addition to monitoring delinquency, the Company monitors the credit quality of First Mortgages and HELOCs by stratifying the portfolios by the following:


•	Year of origination;


•	Borrower FICO scores at origination (Origination FICO);


•	Updated borrower FICO scores (Updated FICO);


•	Loan-to-value ratios at origination (Origination LTV); and


•	Estimated current LTV ratios (Estimated Current LTV).

Borrowers’ FICO scores are provided by an independent third-party credit reporting service and were last updated in September 2017. The Origination LTV and Estimated Current LTV for a HELOC include any first lien mortgage outstanding on the same property at the time of the HELOC’s origination. The Estimated Current LTV for each loan is estimated by reference to a home price appreciation index.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , 47% and 48% of the Company’s HELOC and First Mortgage portfolio was concentrated in California. These loans have performed in a manner consistent with the portfolio as a whole.

The Company’s bank loans include $8.8 billion of adjustable rate First Mortgage loans at September 30, 2017 . The Company’s adjustable rate mortgages have initial fixed interest rates for three to ten years and interest rates that adjust annually thereafter. Approximately 34% of these mortgages consisted of loans with interest-only payment terms. The interest rates on

- 34 -

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Ratios, or as Noted)

(Unaudited)

approximately 56% of these interest-only loans are not scheduled to reset for three or more years. The Company’s mortgage loans do not include interest terms described as temporary introductory rates below current market rates.

The Company’s HELOC product has a 30 -year loan term with an initial draw period of ten years from the date of origination. After the initial draw period, the balance outstanding at such time is converted to a 20 -year amortizing loan. The interest rate during the initial draw period and the 20 -year amortizing period is a floating rate based on the prime rate plus a margin. HELOCs that convert to an amortizing loan may experience higher delinquencies and higher loss rates than those in the initial draw period. The Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology takes this increased inherent risk into consideration.

The following table presents when current outstanding HELOCs will convert to amortizing loans:



September 30, 2017	Balance
Converted to an amortizing loan by period end	$	447
Within 1 year	475
> 1 year – 3 years	346
> 3 years – 5 years	148
> 5 years	626
Total	$	2,042

At September 30, 2017 , $1.6 billion of the HELOC portfolio was secured by second liens on the associated properties. Second lien mortgage loans typically possess a higher degree of credit risk given the subordination to the first lien holder in the event of default. In addition to the credit monitoring activities described previously, the Company also monitors credit risk by reviewing the delinquency status of the first lien loan on the associated property. At September 30, 2017 , approximately 39% of the HELOC borrowers that had a balance only paid the minimum amount of interest due.

5. Variable Interest Entities

A VIE requires consolidation by the entity’s primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates all entities in which it has a financial interest to determine if the entity is a VIE and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. See Principles of Consolidation in Note 1 for discussion of the Company’s evaluations of VIEs and whether it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of any VIEs in which it holds an interest. The Company was not the primary beneficiary of, and therefore not required to consolidate any VIEs at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the majority of the Company’s VIEs related to Schwab Bank’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) investments. Schwab Bank’s LIHTC investments are accounted for using the proportional amortization method. Amortization, tax credits, and other tax benefits recognized in relation to LIHTC investments are included in taxes on income in the condensed consolidated statements of income. For further information on the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and Schwab Bank’s LIHTC investments, see Note 2 and Note 10 in the 2016 Form 10-K.

Aggregate assets, liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss

The aggregate assets, liabilities, and maximum exposure to loss from those VIEs in which the Company holds a variable interest, but as to which the Company has concluded it is not the primary beneficiary, are summarized in the table below:



	September 30, 2017						December 31, 2016
	Aggregate assets		Aggregate liabilities		Maximum exposure to loss		Aggregate assets		Aggregate liabilities		Maximum exposure to loss
LIHTC investments ⁽¹⁾	$	253	$	169	$	253	$	189	$	135	$	189
Other CRA investments ⁽²⁾	63		—		82		60		—		80
Total	$	316	$	169	$	335	$	249	$	135	$	269

⁽¹⁾ Aggregate assets and aggregate liabilities are included in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

⁽²⁾ Other CRA investments are recorded using either the cost method or the equity method. Aggregate assets are included in either other assets or bank loans – net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss would result from the loss of the investments, including any committed amounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Company did not provide or intend to provide financial or other support to the VIEs that it was not contractually required to provide. Schwab Bank’s funding of these remaining commitments is dependent upon the occurrence of certain conditions and Schwab Bank expects to pay substantially all of these commitments between 2017 and 2020 .

6. Bank Deposits

Bank deposits consist of interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposits as follows:



	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Interest-bearing deposits:
Deposits swept from brokerage accounts	$	144,293	$	141,146

Short-term borrowings: Schwab Bank maintains a secured credit facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). Amounts available under this facility are dependent on the value of Schwab Bank’s First Mortgages, HELOCs, and investment securities that are pledged as collateral. As of September 30, 2017 , the collateral pledged by Schwab Bank provided a total borrowing capacity of $19.9 billion including the $5.0 billion outstanding. The Company could increase its borrowing capacity by pledging additional securities. At December 31, 2016 , there were no amounts outstanding under this facility.

As a condition of the FHLB borrowings, Schwab Bank is required to hold FHLB stock, with the investment recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The investment in FHLB was $135 million at September 30, 2017 and $81 million at December 31, 2016 .

CSC has authorization from its Board of Directors to issue Commercial Paper Notes not to exceed $1.5 billion . Management has set a current limit for the commercial paper program not to exceed the amount of the committed, unsecured credit facility, which was $750 million at September 30, 2017 . CSC had no Commercial Paper Notes outstanding at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

CSC and Schwab also have access to uncommitted, unsecured bank credit lines with several banks. Schwab had no borrowings outstanding under these lines at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees and indemnifications: The Company has clients that sell (i.e., write) listed option contracts that are cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation – a clearing house that establishes margin requirements on these transactions. The Company partially satisfies the margin requirements by arranging unsecured standby letter of credit agreements (LOCs), in favor of the Options Clearing Corporation, which are issued by several banks. At September 30, 2017 , the aggregate face amount of these LOCs totaled $295 million . There were no funds drawn under any of these LOCs at September 30, 2017 . In connection with its securities lending activities, the Company is required to provide collateral to certain brokerage clients. The Company satisfies the collateral requirements by providing cash as collateral.

The Company also provides guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges under standard membership agreements, which require members to guarantee the performance of other members. Under the agreements, if another member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing houses and exchanges, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. The Company’s liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and may exceed the cash and securities it has posted as collateral. The potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these guarantees.

Legal contingencies: The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, some of which include claims for substantial or unspecified damages. The Company is also the subject of inquiries, investigations, and proceedings by regulatory and other governmental agencies.

The Company believes it has strong defenses in all significant matters currently pending and is contesting liability and any damages claimed. Nevertheless, some of these matters may result in adverse judgments or awards, including penalties, injunctions or other relief, and the Company may also determine to settle a matter because of the uncertainty and risks of litigation. Described below are certain matters in which there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss could be incurred or where the matter may otherwise be of significant interest to stockholders. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any potential liability given the stage of proceedings in the matter.

With respect to all other pending matters, based on current information and consultation with counsel, it does not appear reasonably possible that the outcome of any such matter would be material to the financial condition, operating results or cash flows of the Company. Predicting the outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter is inherently difficult, requiring significant judgment and evaluation of various factors, including the procedural status of the matter and any recent developments; prior experience and the experience of others in similar cases; available defenses, including potential opportunities to dispose of a case on the merits or procedural grounds before trial (e.g., motions to dismiss or for summary judgment); the progress of fact discovery; the opinions of counsel and experts regarding potential damages; potential opportunities for settlement and the status of any settlement discussions; and potential insurance coverage and indemnification. It may not be possible to reasonably estimate potential liability, if any, or a range of potential liability until the matter is closer to resolution – pending, for example, further proceedings, the outcome of key motions or appeals, or discussions among the parties. Numerous issues may have to be developed, such as discovery of important factual matters and determination of threshold legal issues, which may include novel or unsettled questions of law. Reserves are established or adjusted or further disclosure and estimates of potential loss are provided as the matter progresses and more information becomes available.

Total Bond Market Fund Litigation : On August 28, 2008, a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of investors in the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund ^™ . The lawsuit, which alleged violations of state law and federal securities law in connection with the fund’s investment policy, named CSIM, Schwab Investments (registrant and issuer of the fund’s shares) and certain current and former fund trustees as defendants. Allegations include that the fund improperly deviated from its stated investment objectives by investing in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and investing more than 25% of fund assets in CMOs and mortgage-backed securities without obtaining a fundholder vote. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory and rescission damages, unspecified equitable and injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees. Plaintiff’s federal securities law claim and certain of plaintiff’s state law claims were dismissed. On August 8, 2011, the court dismissed plaintiff’s remaining claims with prejudice. Plaintiff appealed to the Ninth Circuit, which issued a ruling on March 9, 2015 reversing the district court’s dismissal of the case and remanding the case for further proceedings. Plaintiff filed a fourth amended complaint on June 25, 2015, and in decisions issued October 6, 2015 and February 23, 2016, the court dismissed all claims with prejudice. Plaintiff has appealed to the Ninth Circuit, where the case is again pending.

9. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

Resale and repurchase agreements: Schwab enters into collateralized resale agreements principally with other broker-dealers, which could result in losses in the event the counterparty fails to purchase the securities held as collateral for the cash advanced and the fair value of the securities declines. To mitigate this risk, Schwab requires that the counterparty deliver securities to a custodian, to be held as collateral, with a fair value at or in excess of the resale price. Schwab also sets standards for the credit quality of the counterparty, monitors the fair value of the underlying securities as compared to the related receivable, including accrued interest, and requires additional collateral where deemed appropriate. Schwab utilizes the collateral provided under these resale agreements to meet obligations under broker-dealer client protection rules, which place limitations on its ability to access such segregated securities. For Schwab to repledge or sell this collateral, it would be required to deposit cash and/or securities of an equal amount into its segregated reserve bank accounts in order to meet its segregated cash and investment requirement. The Company’s resale agreements are not subject to master netting arrangements.

Securities lending: The Company loans brokerage client securities temporarily to other brokers and clearing houses in connection with its securities lending activities and receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in security

(Unaudited)

prices may cause the fair value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities or provide additional cash collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its client obligations. The Company mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, monitoring the fair value of securities loaned, and requiring additional cash as collateral when necessary. The Company borrows securities from other broker-dealers to fulfill short sales by brokerage clients and delivers cash to the lender in exchange for the securities. The fair value of these borrowed securities was $336 million at September 30, 2017 and $213 million at December 31, 2016 . All of the Company’s securities lending transactions are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with other broker-dealers; however, the Company does not net securities lending transactions. Therefore, the Company’s securities loaned and securities borrowed are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents information about the Company’s resale agreements and securities lending activity to enable the users of the Company’s financial statements to evaluate the potential effect of rights of setoff between these recognized assets and recognized liabilities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

⁽¹⁾ Client securities pledged to fulfill client margin requirements for open option contracts established with the Options Clearing Corporation.

10. Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include certain cash equivalents, certain investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes, other securities owned, and AFS securities. The Company uses the market approach to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities. When available, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities. When utilizing market data and bid-ask spread, the Company uses the price within the bid-ask spread that best represents fair value. When quoted prices do not exist, the Company uses prices obtained from independent third-party pricing services to measure the fair value of investment assets. The Company generally obtains prices from at least three independent pricing sources for assets recorded at fair value.

The Company’s primary independent pricing service provides prices based on observable trades and discounted cash flows that incorporate observable information such as yields for similar types of securities (a benchmark interest rate plus observable spreads) and weighted-average maturity for the same or similar “to-be-issued” securities. The Company compares the prices obtained from its primary independent pricing service to the prices obtained from the additional independent pricing services to determine if the price obtained from the primary independent pricing service is reasonable. The Company does not adjust the prices received from independent third-party pricing services unless such prices are inconsistent with the definition of fair value and result in a material difference in the recorded amounts.

Fair value of other financial instruments

Descriptions of the valuation methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments are described below. The Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value but for which fair value can be approximated and disclosed include:


•	Cash and cash equivalents are short-term in nature and accordingly are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value.

•

Cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes include cash and securities purchased under resale agreements. Securities purchased under resale agreements are short-term in nature and are backed by collateral that both exceeds the carrying value of the resale agreement and is highly liquid in nature. Accordingly, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.


•	Receivables from/payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations are short-term in nature, recorded at contractual amounts and historically have been settled at those values. Accordingly, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

•	Receivables from/payables to brokerage clients — net are short-term in nature, recorded at contractual amounts and historically have been settled at those values. Accordingly, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.


•	HTM securities – The fair values of HTM securities are obtained using an independent third-party pricing service similar to investment assets recorded at fair value as discussed above.


•	Bank loans – The fair values of the Company’s First Mortgages and HELOCs are estimated based on prices of mortgage-backed securities collateralized by similar types of loans. PALs are non-purpose revolving lines of credit secured by eligible assets; accordingly, the carrying values of these loans approximate their fair values.


•	Financial instruments included in other assets primarily consist of LIHTC investments, cost method investments, and FHLB stock, whose carrying values approximate their fair values. FHLB stock is recorded at par, which approximates its fair value.


•	Bank deposits have no stated maturity and are recorded at the amount payable on demand as of the balance sheet date. The carrying values of these deposits approximate their fair values.


•	Financial instruments included in accrued expenses and other liabilities consist of drafts payable and certain amounts due under contractual obligations, including unfunded LIHTC commitments. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values.


•	Short-term borrowings consist of commercial paper, borrowings on Schwab’s uncommitted, unsecured bank credit lines, and funds drawn on Schwab Bank’s secured credit facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. Due to the short-term nature of these borrowings, carrying value approximates fair value.


•	Long-term debt – Except for the finance lease obligation, the fair values of long-term debt are estimated using indicative, non-binding quotes from independent brokers. The Company validates indicative prices for its debt through comparison to other independent non-binding quotes. The finance lease obligation is recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value.


•	Firm commitments to extend credit – The Company extends credit to banking clients through HELOCs and PALs. The Company considers the fair value of these unused commitments to not be material because the interest rates earned on these balances are based on floating interest rates that reset monthly.

For a description of the fair value hierarchy, see Note 2 in the 2016 Form 10-K. There were no significant changes in these policies and methodologies during the first nine months of 2017 . The Company did not transfer any assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , or the year ended December 31, 2016 . In addition, the Company did not adjust prices received from the primary independent third-party pricing service at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016 .
