ago. Pre-tax income was $408 million compared with $748 million a year ago.
7
Investment Banking revenues up 5% from a year ago:

ago reflecting completed M&A activity in the current
quarter.
Equity underwriting revenues were essentially unchanged
from a year ago.
Fixed income underwriting revenues increased 25% from a
year ago on higher investment grade issuances.
Equity net revenues:
Equity net revenues were essentially unchanged from a
year ago. The absence of markdowns on certain strategic
investments versus a year ago were offset by increased
funding and liquidity costs.
Fixed Income net revenues:
Fixed Income net revenues were essentially unchanged
versus a year ago reflecting higher revenues in
commodities driven by improved market conditions and
increased client activity partially offset by lower results in
credit products.
Other:
Other revenues for the quarter reflect mark-to-market
losses on corporate loans, inclusive of loan hedges, of
$405 million. These losses were partially offset by net
interest income and fees on corporate loans of $248
million, mark-to-market gains on DCP and revenues from
our Japanese securities joint venture.
Total Expenses:
Compensation expense increased from a year ago reflecting higher discretionary compensation, partially offset by
lower expenses related to outstanding deferred equity compensation and significantly lower severance costs due to
an employee action a year ago.
Non-compensation expenses increased from a year ago primarily driven by higher legal expenses including a
specific matter of $249 million and an FDIC special assessment of $121 million.

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.
4
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.
5
Return on average 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. The calculation of return on
average tangible common equity represents full year or annualized net income applicable to Morgan Stanley less preferred dividends as a
percentage of average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity, also a non-GAAP financial measure, represents common equity
less goodwill and intangible assets net of allowable mortgage servicing rights deduction.
6
“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, 2022.
7
Pre-tax income represents income before provision for income taxes.
8
Pre-tax margin represents income before provision for income taxes divided by net revenues.
9
The expense efficiency ratio represents total non-interest expenses as a percentage of net revenues.
10
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.
11
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.
12
Wealth Management net new assets represent client inflows, including dividends and interest, and asset acquisitions, less client outflows,
and exclude activity from business combinations/divestitures and the impact of fees and commissions.
13
AUM is defined as assets under management or supervision.
14
Long-term net flows include the Equity, Fixed Income and Alternative and Solutions asset classes and excludes the Liquidity and Overlay
Services asset class.
15
Following the failures of certain banks and resulting losses to the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund in the first half of 2023, the FDIC
adopted a final rule on November, 16 2023 to implement a special assessment to recover the cost associated with protecting uninsured
depositors. We recorded the cost of the entire special assessment of $286 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Of the $286 million, $121
million was recorded in the Institutional Securities segment and $165 million was recorded in the Wealth Management segment.

16
Transactional revenues include investment banking, trading, and commissions and fee revenues.
17
Capital ratios are estimates as of the press release date, January 16, 2024.
18
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 riskweighted 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, 2022.

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 $78.2 billion and $77.2 billion, and
supplementary leverage exposure denominator of approximately $1.43 trillion and $1.40 trillion, for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022,
respectively.
