NEW YORK, January 19, 2012 – Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) today reported income of $4.2 billion, or $1.26 per diluted share,1 from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with income of $4.5 billion, or $2.45 per diluted share, a year ago.  Net revenues were $32.4 billion for the year compared with $31.4 billion a year ago.  Results for the year included positive revenue of $3.7 billion, or $1.34 per diluted share, compared with negative revenue of $873 million a year ago related to changes in Morgan Stanley’s debt-related credit spreads and other credit factors (Debt Valuation Adjustment, DVA).2  The Firm executed several key strategic actions in 2011 which affected earnings including: the conversion of the Firm’s Series B Preferred Stock held by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) into common stock which resulted in a negative adjustment to earnings per share of approximately $1.7 billion, the previously announced settlement with MBIA (MBIA) which resulted in a pre-tax loss of approximately $1.7 billion and the restructuring of the sale of Revel Entertainment Group, LLC (Revel) which resulted in a net tax benefit of $447 million.  In addition, results for the current year also included a pre-tax loss of approximately $783 million arising from the Firm’s 40% stake in a Japanese securities joint venture (Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd. or MUMSS) controlled and managed by our partner, MUFG.3

The Firm’s compensation expense for the current year was $16.4 billion with a compensation to net revenue ratio of 51%.  Non-compensation expenses of $9.9 billion increased 7% from the prior year.

The loss from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley for the current quarter was $227 million, or $0.14 per diluted share,1 and included the loss related to MBIA of $1.7 billion or $0.59 per diluted share, compared with income of $871 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.  Current quarter net revenues were $5.7 billion, inclusive of the $1.7 billion loss related to MBIA, compared with $7.7 billion a year ago.  Results for the current quarter also included positive revenue of $216 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with negative revenue of $945 million a year ago related to DVA.2

The Firm’s compensation expense for the current quarter was $3.8 billion compared with $4.0 billion a year ago.   The Firm’s current quarter compensation to net revenue ratio of 67% was adversely affected by MBIA, which decreased net revenues in the current period.  Excluding MBIA, this ratio would have been 51%.4  Non-compensation expenses of $2.4 billion for the current quarter decreased from $2.5 billion a year ago.

For the current year, net income applicable to Morgan Stanley, including discontinued operations, was $1.23 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.63 per diluted share in 2010.  For the current quarter, the net loss applicable to Morgan Stanley, including discontinued operations, was $0.15 per diluted share, compared with net income of $0.41 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010.5

Equity sales and trading net revenues of $1.3 billion2 reflected prudent risk management in a challenging market.

3 The MUMSS loss primarily reflected the Firm’s 40% stake in pre-tax trading losses recognized in the first quarter of 2011 and severance charges in the current quarter.
 
4 The Firm’s compensation to net revenue ratio, excluding MBIA, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers a useful measure for the Firm and investors to assess operating performance.  The ratio is computed as compensation and benefits costs divided by net revenues, excluding the MBIA loss of $1.7 billion.
 
5 Discontinued operations for the current year primarily reflected additional tax benefits associated with the sale of substantially all of the retail asset management business to Invesco Ltd. (reported in the Asset Management business segment) and the results and losses associated with the planned disposition of Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. (reported in the Institutional Securities business segment).  Discontinued operations for the current quarter primarily reflected the results and losses associated with the planned disposition of Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc.

7 Pre-tax margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers to be a useful measure that the Firm and investors use to assess operating performance.  Pre-tax margin represents income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes, divided by net revenues.
 
8 On December 22, 2011, the Firm entered into agreements to restructure certain derivative transactions representing exposure to the European Peripherals.  For a further discussion of country risk exposure, see page 13 of Morgan Stanley’s Financial Supplement accompanying this release.
 
9 Morgan Stanley owns 51% of MSSB, which is consolidated.  The results related to the 49% interest retained by Citigroup Inc. are reported in net income (loss) applicable to noncontrolling interests on page 9 of Morgan Stanley’s Financial Supplement accompanying this release.
 
10 As the business finalizes the integration of its legacy Morgan Stanley and Smith Barney channels in 2012, it is harmonizing what were previously different job descriptions for various licensed roles involved in serving our clients.  This adjustment will be reflected in the prospective reporting of global representatives headcount as role definition differences are eliminated in the combined sales organization.  As of December 31, 2011, the adjusted number of global representatives under this harmonized methodology was 17,649.  See page 10 of Morgan Stanley's Financial Supplement accompanying this release for prior quarter global representative headcount and productivity metrics reflecting this adjustment.

11 Results for the full year ended 2011 and 2010 included pre-tax income of $145 million and pre-tax income of $410 million, respectively, related to principal investments held by certain consolidated real estate funds.  Results for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 2010 included pre-tax income of $44 million and pre-tax income of $103 million, respectively, related to principal investments held by certain consolidated real estate funds.  The limited partnership interests in these funds are reported in net income (loss) applicable to noncontrolling interests on page 11 of Morgan Stanley’s Financial Supplement accompanying this release.
 
12 Results for the current year included gains of $169 million compared with gains of $431 million in the prior year related to principal investments held by certain consolidated real estate funds.  Results for the current quarter included gains of $45 million compared with gains of $109 million in the prior year quarter related to principal investments held by certain consolidated real estate funds.
 
13 The Firm calculates its Tier 1 capital ratio and risk-weighted assets in accordance with the capital adequacy standards for financial holding companies adopted by the Federal Reserve Board.  These standards are based upon a framework described in the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, July 1988, as amended, also referred to as Basel I.  These computations are preliminary estimates as of January 19, 2012 (the date of this release) and could be subject to revision in Morgan Stanley’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
14  On December 30, 2011, the final rule issued by The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board) adopting amendments to Regulation Y became effective.  In the final rule, the Federal Reserve Board formalized regulatory definitions for Tier 1 common capital and the Tier 1 common ratio.  The Federal Reserve Board defined Tier 1 common capital as Tier 1 capital less non-common elements in Tier 1 capital, including perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, minority interest in subsidiaries, trust preferred securities and mandatory convertible preferred securities.  Previously, the Firm’s definition of Tier 1 common capital included all of the items noted in the Federal Reserve Board’s definition, but it also included an adjustment for the portion of goodwill and non-servicing intangible assets associated with MSSB’s noncontrolling interests (i.e., Citi’s share of MSSB’s goodwill and intangibles).  The Firm’s conformance to the Federal Reserve Board’s definition under the final rule reduced the Tier 1 common ratio by approximately 130 basis points at December 31, 2011.  These computations are preliminary estimates as of January 19, 2012 (the date of this release) and could be subject to revision in Morgan Stanley’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
15 Tangible common equity and Tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers to be useful measures of capital adequacy.  Tangible common equity equals common equity less goodwill and intangible assets net of allowable mortgage servicing rights deduction and including only the Firm’s share of MSSB’s goodwill and intangible assets.  Tangible book value per common share equals tangible common equity divided by period-end common shares outstanding.
 
16 The income tax provision / (benefit) from continuing operations included discrete tax gains of approximately $500 million and $1.0 billion for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
