Charles Schwab Discloses Results of the Federal Reserve’s 2023 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review
The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC or Schwab) announced today that it has received the results of the Federal Reserve’s 2023 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR). These results included the Federal Reserve’s estimate of Schwab’s minimum Capital ratios under the supervisory severely adverse scenario for the nine-quarter horizon beginning December 31, 2022 and ending March 31, 2025. Based on these results, Schwab’s calculated stress Capital buffer (SCB) remains well below the 2.5% minimum, resulting in a SCB at that floor.
This 2.5% SCB will continue to be applicable to Schwab for the four-quarter period beginning October 1, 2023. Schwab’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 21.4% as of March 31, 2023 was well in excess of the regulatory minimum of 4.5% combined with the SCB of 2.5% due to the relatively low risk nature of our balance sheet assets.
Schwab ended the first quarter of 2023 with a consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 7.1%, down slightly from 7.2% at year-end 2022. This consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio is above the long-term operating objective for CSC.
CFO Peter Crawford commented, “Schwab’s CCAR stress test results reinforce that we remain well positioned to serve our clients across a range of environments. Given the anticipated changes to regulatory expectations and capital requirements, we’ll provide updates going forward regarding our capital planning and capital management priorities as conditions and requirements evolve. Going forward, we expect to continue managing our capital position in a manner that prioritizes long-term business growth, while also supporting our common stock dividend target and overall stockholder value.”
