Net Revenues of $5.5B, up 48% Year-Over-Year
Net New Client Assets of $92B, 8% Annualized Growth Rate

Dividend Increasing 43% in Q1 Fiscal 2019
    
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 22, 2018 TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: AMTD) has released results for its 2018 fiscal year. The Company’s core operating metrics were at record levels, driven by strong organic growth and the successful integration of Scottrade, which closed September 18, 2017.

The Company’s results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 include the following:(2) 

Net new client assets of approximately $92 billion, a growth rate of 8 percent
Record average client trades per day of approximately 811,000, up 59 percent year over year
Net revenues of $5.5 billion, 62 percent of which were asset-based
Ending client assets of approximately $1.3 trillion, up 16 percent year over year
$2.59 in GAAP earnings per diluted share, up 58 percent year over year, on net income of $1.47 billion
$3.34 in Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share(1), up 82 percent year over year
Pre-tax GAAP income of $1.89 billion, or 35 percent of net revenues
Ending interest rate-sensitive assets(3) of $147 billion, down 5 percent year over year

“Fiscal 2018 was a landmark year for TD Ameritrade as our powerful momentum and financial strength grew across all core metrics. Trading was strong throughout the year, averaging a record 811,000 trades per day, with 16 days peaking at a million trades or more. We also gathered a record $92 billion in net new client assets in the midst of a major client integration, driven by record asset gathering from our institutional channel and efficient and effective marketing efforts,” said Tim Hockey, TD Ameritrade president and chief executive officer. “It was a year of remarkable achievement and change, capped by a tremendously organized and well-executed client conversion – 4 million Scottrade accounts converted and balanced to the penny.

“At TD Ameritrade we provide an essential service – access to the capital markets – which can help people pursue their financial goals. As we head into fiscal 2019, we have one purpose: to transform lives and investing for the better,” Hockey continued. “With the integration in our rearview mirror, we are driving forward with a renewed energy and clear focus on creating a best-in-class experience for our clients and our employees. That’s why we’ll continue to expand the ways in which clients can interact with us when, where and how they prefer. It’s about pairing leading-edge technology with knowledgeable, trusted professionals to break down barriers and bring greater ease and accessibility to investing.”

“Our core results exceeded our expectations for the year with record GAAP and Non-GAAP earnings per share. Strong business and operational performance was further buoyed by three interest rate hikes and the corporate tax cut,” said Steve Boyle, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “After the successful clearing conversion in the March quarter and the realization of significant Scottrade expense synergies as planned, we resumed share repurchases during the September quarter and are announcing a 43 percent increase to our dividend.”

Regarding fiscal 2019 expectations, Boyle added, “As we look forward, we’re well positioned for future growth with strategic plans in place which we expect will further boost our resiliency, revenue growth and market share.”

Fourth Quarter 2018 Results
TD Ameritrade also released its results for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2018, which include the following:(2)  
Net new client assets of approximately $24 billion, an annualized growth rate of 8 percent
Average client trades per day of approximately 795,000, up 50 percent year over year
Net revenues of $1.40 billion, 64 percent of which were asset-based
$0.80 in GAAP earnings per diluted share, up 105 percent year over year, on net income of $454 million
$0.92 in Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, up 88 percent year over year
Pre-tax GAAP income of $609 million, or 44 percent of net revenues

Capital Management
During the 2018 fiscal year, the Company paid $477 million in cash dividends, which included four quarterly dividends of $0.21 per share.

During the September quarter, the company paid $255 million in cash to repurchase 4.6 million shares. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has 21 million shares remaining for share repurchases under its stock repurchase program.

(1)  The provision for income taxes was lower for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to the realization of approximately $78 million of after-tax benefits recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. These after-tax benefits were primarily attributable to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for which we recorded a provisional estimate for the remeasurement of our deferred income tax balances.

(1) See attached reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.
(2) In June 2018, the presentation of the liquid assets metric was revised in order to provide a consolidated view of our liquidity, which management may utilize, as necessary, to meet corporate cash flow needs, fund potential operational contingencies and to support our business strategies.  The prior period, which provided a view of our liquidity net of operational contingencies and other obligations, has been updated to conform to the current presentation.
NOTE: See Glossary of Terms on the Company's website at www.amtd.com for definitions of the above metrics.

Note: The term "GAAP" in the following explanation refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
(1)
Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. We define non-GAAP net income as net income adjusted to remove the after-tax effect of amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related expenses. We consider non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS as important measures of our financial performance because they exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook and may be useful in evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating a meaningful comparison of our results in the current period to those in prior and future periods. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of our underlying business performance. Acquisition-related expenses are excluded as these costs are not representative of the costs of running the Company's on-going business. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, GAAP net income and diluted EPS.
(2)
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We consider EBITDA to be an important measure of our financial performance and of our ability to generate cash flows to service debt, fund capital expenditures and fund other corporate investing and financing activities. EBITDA is used as the denominator in the consolidated leverage ratio calculation for covenant purposes under our senior revolving credit facility. EBITDA eliminates the non-cash effect of tangible asset depreciation and amortization and intangible asset amortization. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, GAAP pre-tax income, net income and cash flows from operating activities.
(3)
Liquid assets is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We consider liquid assets to be an important measure of our liquidity, including our ability to meet corporate cash flow needs, fund potential operational contingencies and support our business strategies. Liquid assets represents available capital, including any capital from our regulated subsidiaries in excess of established management operational targets. We include the excess capital of our regulated subsidiaries in the calculation of liquid assets, rather than simply including regulated subsidiaries' cash and cash equivalents, because capital requirements may limit the amount of cash available for dividend from the regulated subsidiaries to the parent company. Excess capital, as defined below, is generally available for dividend from the regulated subsidiaries to the parent company. Liquid assets should be considered as a supplemental measure of liquidity, rather than as a substitute for GAAP cash and cash equivalents.
 
We define liquid assets as the sum of (a) corporate cash and cash equivalents, (b) corporate investments, less securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and (c) our regulated subsidiaries' net capital in excess of minimum operational targets established by management. Corporate cash and cash equivalents includes cash and cash equivalents from our investment advisory subsidiaries. Liquid assets is based on more conservative measures of net capital than regulatory requirements because we generally manage to higher levels of net capital at our regulated subsidiaries than the regulatory thresholds require.
