Both the earnings release and the financial supplement are available online in the Investor Relations section at www.morganstanley.com.
NOTICE:
The information provided herein and in the financial supplement, including information provided on the Firm’s earnings conference calls, may include certain non-GAAP financial measures. The definition of such measures or reconciliation of such measures to the comparable U.S. GAAP figures are included in this earnings release and the financial supplement, both of which are available on www.morganstanley.com.
This earnings release may contain forward-looking statements, including the attainment of certain financial and other targets, objectives and goals. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made, which reflect management’s current estimates, projections, expectations, assumptions, interpretations or beliefs and which are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. For a discussion of risks and uncertainties that may affect the future results of the Firm, please see “Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I, Item 1, “Competition” and “Supervision and Regulation” in Part I, Item 1, “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, “Legal Proceedings” in Part I, Item 3, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Risk” in Part II, Item 7A in the Firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other items throughout the Form 10-K, the Firm’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Firm’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, including any amendments thereto.
1 Includes preferred dividends related to the calculation of earnings per share for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025 of approximately $145 million and $147 million, respectively.
2 The Firm prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). From time to time, Morgan Stanley may disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures” in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a “non-GAAP financial measure” as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude, or include amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by Morgan Stanley are provided as additional information to analysts, investors and other stakeholders in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing our financial condition, operating results, or capital adequacy. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure, we will also generally define it or present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure we reference and such comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
3 Our earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and other communications may also include certain metrics which we believe to be useful to us, analysts, investors, and other stakeholders by providing further transparency about, or an additional means of assessing, our financial condition and operating results.
4 Pre-tax income represents income before provision for income taxes.
5 The expense efficiency ratio represents total non-interest expenses as a percentage of net revenues.
6 Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers useful for analysts, investors and other stakeholders to allow comparability of period-to-period operating performance and capital adequacy. Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill and intangible assets net of allowable mortgage servicing rights deduction. The calculation of return on average tangible common equity, also a non-GAAP financial measure, represents full year or annualized net income applicable to Morgan Stanley less preferred dividends as a percentage of average tangible common equity. The calculation of tangible book value per common share, also a non-GAAP financial measure, represents tangible common shareholder’s equity divided by common shares outstanding.
7 Wealth Management fee-based client assets represent the amount of assets in client accounts where the basis of payment for services is a fee calculated on those assets.
8 Wealth Management fee-based asset flows include net new fee-based assets (including asset acquisitions), net account transfers, dividends, interest, and client fees, and exclude institutional cash management related activity.
9 Wealth Management net new assets represent client asset inflows, inclusive of interest, dividends and asset acquisitions, less client asset outflows, and exclude the impact of business combinations/divestitures and the impact of fees and commissions.
10 AUM is defined as assets under management or supervision.
11 Long-term net flows include the Equity, Fixed Income and Alternative and Solutions asset classes and excludes the Liquidity and Overlay Services asset class. During the first quarter of 2026, certain changes were made to the presentation of Investment Management AUM classifications and Net Flows. These changes had no impact on Total AUM and were made to more closely align reporting with underlying investment strategies and to conform reporting of Net Flows, excluding distributions, which for long-term products were $3 billion and $2 billion for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, with the relevant presentations in our SEC Forms 10-K and 10-Q. For additional information, please refer to the Addendums in the Firm’s first quarter 2026 financial supplement and in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Investment Management" in the Firm's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 available online in the Investor Relations section at www.morganstanley.com.
12 Firm pre-tax income, Firm earnings per diluted share, Institutional Securities net revenues and Institutional Securities pre-tax income represent records for a reported quarterly period after excluding the impact of debt valuation adjustments (DVA), which were previously reflected in net revenues in prior periods before 2016, and reflecting the current reporting structure of the Firm (i.e. exclusive of discontinued operations). Net revenues and net income applicable to Morgan Stanley, excluding the impact of DVA, were non-GAAP financial measures in those prior periods that were reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures in the respective quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q.
13 During the first quarter of 2026, as a result of a March workforce management action, we recognized severance costs of $178 million in Compensation and benefits expense. The workforce management action was related to an effort to improve operational efficiency and manage performance, rather than a change in strategy or exit of businesses. The action occurred
across our business segments and geographic regions and impacted approximately 2% of our global workforce at that time. We recorded severance costs of $94 million in the Institutional Securities business segment, $61 million in the Wealth Management business segment, and $23 million in the Investment Management business segment. These costs were incurred across all regions, with the majority in the Americas.
14 CET1 capital is defined as Common Equity Tier 1 capital. The Firm’s risk-based capital ratios are computed under each of the (i) standardized approaches for calculating credit risk and market risk risk‐weighted assets (RWAs) (the “Standardized Approach”) and (ii) applicable advanced approaches for calculating credit risk, market risk and operational risk RWAs (the “Advanced Approach”). For information on the calculation of regulatory capital and ratios, and associated regulatory requirements, please refer to "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Regulatory Requirements" in the Firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
15 Pre-tax margin represents income before provision for income taxes divided by net revenues.
16 “DCP” refers to certain employee deferred cash-based compensation programs. Please refer to "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Other Matters – Deferred Cash-Based Compensation” in the Firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, hedges for Wealth Management DCP awards were primarily transitioned to derivative instruments with changes in fair value recorded in compensation expense or in other comprehensive income within shareholder's equity and later reclassified to compensation expense in the same period as the related DCP award vests. As a result, the Firm no longer presents non-GAAP measures of net revenues and compensation expense excluding DCP. Wealth Management net revenues included mark-to-market gains associated with DCP of $294 million in the second quarter of 2025.
17 Wealth Management transactional revenues include investment banking, trading, and commissions and fee revenues.
18 Capital ratios are estimates as of the press release date, July 15, 2026 and are subject to change in the Firm's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
19 The Tier 1 leverage ratio is a leverage-based capital requirement that measures the Firm’s leverage. Tier 1 leverage ratio utilizes Tier 1 capital as the numerator and average adjusted assets as the denominator.
20 The Firm’s supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) utilizes a Tier 1 capital numerator of approximately $97.2 billion and $88.4 billion, and supplementary leverage exposure denominator of approximately $1.97 trillion and $1.62 trillion, for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Firm compensation expenses excluding DCP, which represents a non‐GAAP financial measure, were: 2Q25: $6,819 million, 2Q25 YTD: $14,342 million.
–Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the Firm utilizes derivatives to hedge certain DCP awards and as a result will no longer present non-GAAP financial measures excluding DCP.
