Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On April 19, 2011, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (Group Inc. and, together with its consolidated
subsidiaries, the firm) reported its earnings for its first quarter ended March 31, 2011. A copy
of Group Inc.s press release containing this information is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to
this Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed
filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) or
otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated
by reference into any filing of Group Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.
Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On April 19, 2011, Group Inc. reported net revenues of $11.89 billion and net earnings of $2.74
billion for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. Diluted earnings per common share were $1.56
compared with $5.59 for the first quarter of 2010 and $3.79 for the fourth quarter of 2010.
Annualized return on average common shareholders equity (ROE) (1) was 12.2% for the
first quarter of 2011.
Excluding the preferred dividend of $1.64 billion related to the redemption of the firms
Series G Preferred Stock, diluted earnings per common share were $4.38 (2) and
annualized ROE was 14.5% (2) for the first quarter of 2011.
Net Revenues
Investment Banking
Net revenues in Investment Banking were $1.27 billion, 5% higher than the first quarter of 2010 and
16% lower than the fourth quarter of 2010. Net revenues in Financial Advisory were $357 million,
23% lower than the first quarter of 2010. Net revenues in the firms Underwriting business were
$912 million, 23% higher than the first quarter of 2010, due to strong net revenues in debt
underwriting, which were significantly higher compared with the first quarter of 2010, as well as
higher net revenues in equity underwriting. The increase in both debt and equity underwriting
primarily reflected an increase in client activity. The firms investment banking transaction
backlog increased compared with the end of 2010. (3)
Institutional Client Services
Net revenues in Institutional Client Services were $6.65 billion, 22% lower than a strong first
quarter of 2010 and 83% higher than the fourth quarter of 2010.

Table of Contents
Net revenues in Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities Client Execution were $4.33 billion, 28%
lower than a particularly strong first quarter of 2010. Client
activity levels improved during the first quarter of 2011, resulting in solid performances in credit products, interest rate
products, currencies and mortgages, although net revenues in each were lower compared with the
first quarter of 2010. Net revenues in commodities were also solid and were higher compared with
the same prior year period.
Net revenues in Equities were $2.32 billion, 7% lower than the first quarter of 2010, reflecting
lower net revenues in equities client execution. The decline in equities client execution compared
with the first quarter of 2010 reflected lower net revenues in derivatives and shares. This
decrease was partially offset by higher commissions and fees, reflecting higher transaction
volumes. Securities services net revenues were essentially unchanged compared with the first
quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, Equities operated in an environment generally
characterized by an increase in global equity prices and slightly lower average volatility levels.
Investing & Lending
Net revenues in Investing & Lending were $2.71 billion for the first quarter of 2011. These
results generally reflected an increase in global equity prices and favorable credit markets during
the quarter. Results for the first quarter of 2011 primarily included a gain of $316 million from
the firms investment in the ordinary shares of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited
(ICBC), net gains of $1.05 billion from equity securities (excluding ICBC), and net gains and net
interest of $1.02 billion from debt securities and loans.
Investment Management
Net revenues in Investment Management were $1.27 billion, 16% higher than the first quarter of 2010
and 16% lower than the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase in net revenues compared with the
first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to an increase in management and other fees, reflecting favorable changes in the mix of assets under management, as well as higher incentive fees.
Assets under management were $840 billion as of March 31, 2011, unchanged compared with the end of
2010, reflecting net market appreciation of $12 billion, offset by net outflows in money market and
fixed income assets of $12 billion.
Expenses
Operating expenses were $7.85 billion, 3% higher than the first quarter of 2010 and 52% higher than
the fourth quarter of 2010.
Compensation and Benefits
The accrual for compensation and benefits expenses (including salaries, estimated year-end
discretionary compensation, amortization of equity awards and other items such as benefits) was
$5.23 billion for the first quarter of 2011, a 5% decline compared with the first quarter of 2010.
The ratio of compensation and benefits to net revenues for the first quarter of 2011 was 44.0%.

Non-Compensation Expenses
Non-compensation expenses were $2.62 billion, 23% higher than the first quarter of 2010 and 14%
lower than the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase compared with the first quarter of 2010
reflected the impact of impairment charges of approximately $220 million related to assets
classified as held for sale during the first quarter of 2011, primarily related to Litton Loan
Servicing LP, the firms residential mortgage servicing subsidiary. The remainder of the increase
compared with the first quarter of 2010 generally reflected increased levels of business activity,
including higher operating expenses related to the firms consolidated entities held for investment
purposes. The first quarter of 2011 also included net provisions for litigation and regulatory
proceedings of $24 million.
Provision for Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was 32.3%. (4)
Capital
As of March 31, 2011, total capital was $246.26 billion, consisting of $72.47 billion in total
shareholders equity (common shareholders equity of $69.37 billion and preferred stock of $3.10
billion) and $173.79 billion in unsecured long-term borrowings. Book value per common share was
$129.40 and tangible book value per common share (5) was $119.63, both slightly higher
compared with the end of 2010. Book value and tangible book value per common share are based on
common shares outstanding, including restricted stock units granted to employees with no future
service requirements, of 536.1 million at period end.
During the quarter, the firm gave notice of redemption for the 50,000 shares of the firms 10%
Cumulative Perpetual Series G Preferred Stock. The redemption date was April 18, 2011. The
redemption included a preferred dividend of $1.64 billion, which was included in the
firms results for the first quarter of 2011. The redemption also resulted in the acceleration of
$24 million of preferred dividends related to the period from April 1, 2011 to the redemption date,
which was included in the firms results for the first quarter of 2011. Excluding the preferred dividend of $1.64 billion, both book value per common share and tangible book value per
common share (5) increased approximately 3% (5) compared with the end of
2010.
In keeping with the firms long-standing policy of repurchasing shares to offset increases in share
count over time resulting from employee share-based compensation, the firm repurchased 9.0 million
shares of its common stock at an average cost per share of $163.22, for a total cost of $1.47
billion during the quarter.

the firms Tier 1 capital ratio
(6) was
14.6% as of
March 31, 2011, compared with 16.0%
as of December 31, 2010. Substantially all of the decrease in the firms Tier 1 capital ratio
reflected the impact of the redemption of the firms Series G Preferred Stock. The firms Tier 1 common
ratio (7)
was 12.8% as of
March 31, 2011, compared with 13.3% as of December 31, 2010.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor
provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements are not historical facts, but instead represent only the firms beliefs regarding future
events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the firms control.
It is possible that the firms actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly
materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking
statements. For a discussion of some of the risks and important factors that could affect the
firms future results and financial condition, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of the firms
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Certain of the information regarding the firms capital ratios, risk-weighted assets, total assets,

Table of Contents
Statements about the firms investment banking transaction backlog also may constitute
forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the risk that the terms of these
transactions may be modified or that they may not be completed at all; therefore, the net revenues,
if any, that the firm actually earns from these transactions may differ, possibly materially, from those
currently expected. Important factors that could result in a modification of the terms of a
transaction or a transaction not being completed include, in the case of underwriting transactions,
a decline or continued weakness in general economic conditions, outbreak of hostilities, volatility
in the securities markets generally or an adverse development with respect to the issuer of the
securities and, in the case of financial advisory transactions, a decline in the securities
markets, an inability to obtain adequate financing, an adverse development with respect to a party
to the transaction or a failure to obtain a required regulatory approval. For a discussion of
other important factors that could adversely affect the firms investment banking transactions, see
Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of the firms Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2010.

(1) | Annualized ROE is computed by dividing annualized net earnings applicable to common
shareholders by average monthly common shareholders equity. The impact of the $1.64 billion
Series G Preferred Stock dividend was not annualized in the calculation of
annualized net earnings applicable to common shareholders as this amount has no impact on
other quarters in the year. The table below presents the firms average common shareholders
equity: |

Preferred Stock (calculated as the difference between the carrying value and the redemption
value of the preferred stock) is meaningful because it increases the comparability of
period-to-period results. The tables below present the calculation of net earnings applicable

(4) | The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was 32.3%, compared with 32.7%
for 2010, which excluded the impact of the $465 million U.K. bank payroll tax and the $550
million SEC settlement, substantially all of which was non-deductible. Management believes
that presenting the firms effective income tax rate for 2010 excluding the impact of these
items is meaningful as excluding them increases the comparability of period-to-period
results. Including the impact of these items, the effective income tax rate was 35.2% for
2010. The table below presents the calculation of the effective income tax rate excluding the
impact of these amounts: |

(5) | Tangible common shareholders equity equals total shareholders equity less preferred stock,
goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share is computed
by dividing tangible common shareholders equity by the number of common shares outstanding,
including restricted stock units granted to employees with no future service requirements.
Management believes that tangible common shareholders equity and tangible book value per
common share are meaningful because they are measures that the firm and investors use to
assess capital adequacy. In addition, management believes that presenting the change in book
value and tangible book value per common share excluding the impact of the $1.64 billion
Series G Preferred Stock dividend provides a meaningful period-to-period comparison
of these measures. The table below presents the reconciliation of total shareholders equity
to tangible common shareholders equity, as well as the calculation of common shareholders
equity and tangible common shareholders equity excluding the impact of the $1.64 billion
Series G Preferred Stock dividend: |

(6) | The Tier 1 capital ratio equals Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets. The firms
risk-weighted assets under Basel 1 were approximately
$456 billion as of
March 31, 2011. This
ratio represents a preliminary estimate as of the date of this Report on Form 8-K and may be
revised in the firms Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011. For
a further discussion of the firms capital ratios, see Equity Capital in Part II, Item 7
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in
the firms Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. |
|
(7) | The Tier 1 common ratio equals Tier 1 common capital divided by risk-weighted assets. As of
March 31, 2011, Tier 1 common capital was $58.3 billion,
consisting of Tier 1 capital of
$66.4 billion less preferred stock of $3.1 billion and junior subordinated debt issued to
trusts of $5.0 billion. Management believes that the Tier 1 common ratio is meaningful
because it is one of the measures that the firm and investors use to assess capital adequacy.
This ratio represents a preliminary estimate as of the date of this Report on Form 8-K and may
be revised in the firms Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011.

may be revised in the firms Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31,
2011. |
|
(9) | The firms global core excess represents a pool of excess liquidity consisting of
unencumbered, highly liquid securities and cash. These amounts represent preliminary
estimates as of the date of this Report on Form 8-K and may be revised in the firms Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011. For a further discussion of the
firms global core excess liquidity pool, see Liquidity Risk in Part II, Item 7
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in

|
(10) | Primarily includes net revenues related to the firms consolidated entities held for
investment purposes. |
|
(11) | Unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or
dividend equivalents are treated as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings
per common share. The impact of applying this methodology was a reduction to basic earnings
per common share of $0.02 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2011, December 31,
2010 and March 31, 2010. |
|
(12) | Includes employees, consultants and temporary staff. |
|
(13) | Compensation and benefits and non-compensation expenses related to consolidated
entities held for investment purposes are included in their respective line items in the
consolidated statements of earnings. |
|
(14) | VaR is the potential loss in value of the firms inventory positions due to adverse market
movements over a one-day time horizon with a 95% confidence level. For a further discussion
of VaR, see Market Risk Management in Part II, Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the firms Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2010. |
|
(15) | Equals the difference between total VaR and the sum of the VaRs for the four risk
categories. This effect arises because the four market risk categories are not perfectly
correlated. |
|
(16) | Assets under management include only those client assets where the firm earns a fee for
managing assets on a discretionary basis. |
