Announced and Completed M&A
NEW YORK, January 20, 2010 – Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) today reported income fromcontinuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $1,149
million, compared with a loss from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley of $807
million, a year ago. The Firm reported a loss from continuing operations of $0.93 per diluted share2
reflecting preferred dividends and the repurchase of TARP Capital, compared with a loss fromcontinuing operations of $1.26 per diluted share in the prior year. Net revenues for the year were$23.4 billion, compared with $18.2 billion in the prior year. Net revenues in the current year included
negative revenue of $5.5 billion due to the significant improvement in Morgan Stanley’s credit spreads
on certain of its long-term debt (debt-related credit spreads), while the prior year included positive
revenue of $5.3 billion related to the deterioration of the same debt-related credit spreads.3
Comparisons of current year results to the prior year were impacted by the results of the Morgan
Stanley Smith Barney joint venture (MSSB),4 which closed on May 31, 2009.

Non-interest expenses of $22.5 billion increased 12 percent from a year ago. Non-compensation
expenses decreased 10 percent from a year ago. Compensation expenses were $14.4 billion comparedwith $11.1 billion a year ago. As noted above, comparisons of current year results to the prior year,

including compensation, were impacted by the non-interest expenses associated with MSSB,4 which
added approximately 19,000 employees and increased firm-wide headcount by 40 percent.

Income from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley for the fourth quarter was $413
million, or $0.14 per diluted share,2 compared with a loss from continuing operations applicable toMorgan Stanley of $10,529 million, or $10.92 per diluted share, a year ago. Net revenues were $6.8
billion, compared with negative $13.0 billion in last year’s fourth quarter. Comparisons of current
quarter results with the prior year were impacted by negative revenue of $6.0 billion5 in thecomparable period last year related to the improvement in debt-related credit spreads, following aperiod of unprecedented market turmoil, compared with negative revenue in the current quarter of $0.6
billion.5 The annualized return on average common equity from continuing operations was 2.1 percent
in the current quarter.

Non-interest expenses were $6.2 billion, compared with $2.3 billion from last year’s fourth quarter.
Compensation expenses were $3.8 billion, compared with negative $0.7 billion a year ago. Noncompensation expenses decreased 18 percent, primarily reflecting firm-wide initiatives to reduce costs,
lower levels of business activity and non-cash charges of $725 million related to the impairment of
goodwill and intangible assets in the prior year. As noted above, comparisons of current quarter
results to the prior year were impacted by MSSB.

The current year tax benefit of $336 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, primarily reflects the
anticipated repatriation of non-U.S. earnings at lower than previously estimated tax rates, theanticipated use of domestic tax credits and utilization of state net operating losses.

Net income applicable to Morgan Stanley for the year was $1,346 million, or a loss of $0.76 perdiluted share, compared with a net loss applicable to Morgan Stanley of $246 million, or $0.71 per

Firm-wide results, including discontinued operations, reflected net losses on investments in realestate of $1.9 billion, amidst the ongoing industry-wide decline in this market.9•

Non-compensation expenses continued to reflect the firm-wide efficiency initiatives and lower
levels of business activity. Full-year savings were approximately $1.1 billion on a normalizedbasis10 over the prior year, exceeding our previously disclosed full-year target of $800 million.

James P. Gorman, CEO and President, said, "In a year of transition for our Firm and the entire
financial services industry, the employees of Morgan Stanley delivered substantially improved
financial performance while also making significant progress on critical strategic initiatives that will
drive our business in the years ahead. During the year, we closed the Smith Barney transaction earlier
than expected; continued the expansion of our strategic alliance with Mitsubishi UFJ; and forged adeal to sell Van Kampen and our retail asset management business to Invesco. In addition, consistent
with our long-term strategy to be the industry's leading client-centered franchise, we maintained strong
performance in our investment banking business – ranking #1 in global M&A – and hired more than
350 professionals in our sales and trading business, including key senior leaders across fixed income,equities and prime brokerage, to build deeper and broader relationships with our clients.

7•Net revenues were $1.3 billion, compared with $0.5 billion a year ago.

•

Net revenues in the Core business8 were $1.5 billion, up 70 percent from the prior year. The
increase in net revenues was primarily driven by principal investment gains in the current year
compared with losses a year ago, and gains of $164 million in principal trading related tosecurities issued by structured investment vehicles (SIVs) held on our balance sheet, comparedwith losses of $434 million in the prior year. This increase was partly offset by lower
management and administrative fees, primarily resulting from lower assets under management.

•

Net revenues in the Merchant Banking business were negative $194 million, compared withnegative $439 million in the prior year. The improvement in net revenues was primarily driven
by lower losses on principal investments in the real estate business and gains on principal
investments in the private equity business compared with losses in the prior year. This increase
was partly offset by losses in principal trading related to a mark-to-market loss on a lending
facility to a real estate fund sponsored by Morgan Stanley and losses on other real estate-related
hedging activity.

FOURTH QUARTER
Asset Management reported a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $55 million, compared with apre-tax loss from continuing operations of $696 million in last year’s fourth quarter,6 as losses in the
Merchant Banking business were partly offset by results in the Core business,8 which was profitable
for the fourth consecutive quarter. Asset Management recorded a loss of $68 million after the noncontrolling interest allocation and before taxes.12•

Net revenues were $510 million, compared with negative $438 million a year ago.

•

Net revenues in the Core business8 were $357 million, up from $31 million in the prior year. The
increase in net revenues was primarily driven by principal investment gains compared with losses
a year ago and prior year losses of $223 million in principal trading related to securities issued by
SIVs held on our balance sheet.

•

Net revenues in the Merchant Banking business were $153 million, compared with negative $469
million in last year’s fourth quarter. The increase in net revenues primarily reflected principal

8

investment gains in the real estate business compared with losses in the prior year and lower
losses in the private equity business.
•

Non-interest expenses were $565 million, compared with $258 million in the prior year.
Compensation expenses were $310 million, compared with negative $19 million a year ago. Noncompensation expenses of $255 million decreased 8 percent from a year ago.

YEAR-END COMPENSATION
Morgan Stanley has over the past two years fundamentally restructured the way it pays year-end
compensation to its employees – instituting a clawback provision, creating performance units tied tothree-year performance for senior executives, increasing deferred compensation and reducing cash
bonuses, among other changes.
•

Clawback: Morgan Stanley was the first major U.S. bank to institute a clawback provision for a
portion of year-end compensation in 2008. This year, the Firm strengthened that clawback so thatit can reclaim compensation for up to three years after it is awarded if the Firm realizes losses oncertain trading positions or investments.

•

Performance Stock Units: In response to feedback from shareholders, for 2009 the Firm isgranting senior executives performance stock units that only deliver value if the Firm, after three
years, meets specific performance targets, including return on average common equity levels over
the three year period along with relative stock performance over the same period.

•

Deferred Compensation: The Firm substantially increased the portion of year-end compensationthat is deferred – with Operating Committee members receiving approximately 75 percent ofyear-end pay in deferred compensation.

•

Chairman and CEO Compensation: In addition to these structural changes in compensation,
Chairman and former CEO John Mack recommended to the Board he receive no bonus in 2009,
given the unique operating environment and government support for the industry this past year.
CEO James Gorman recommended to the Board that for 2009 he be paid no cash bonus and thatany 2009 award be paid in deferred compensation.

As a result of these changes, year-end compensation for Morgan Stanley employees is now paid in a
mix of components – including three-year performance stock units for senior executives, equity
subject to market risk that vests over three years and deferred awards subject to clawback – that puts asignificant portion of total compensation at risk and tied to long-term Firm performance.
