2•

assets per global representative increasing to $84 million. The Firm also continued to makeprogress in integrating and executing the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney joint venture (MSSB).

•In Asset Management, the Core business7 was profitable for the third consecutive quarter. These
positive results, however, were more than offset by real estate-related losses in the MerchantBanking business.

•

As part of a restructuring of its investment management division, Morgan Stanley announced thesale of its retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments, which willallow Morgan Stanley to sharpen its focus on its institutional client base in asset management.

•

Firm-wide results reflected net losses on investments in real estate of $0.4 billion, amidst theongoing industry-wide decline in this market.

•

Following the Company’s previous repurchase of capital issued under the government’s Capital
Purchase Program (TARP), the Company repurchased, in the current quarter, the warrant received
under that program for $950 million, providing U.S. taxpayers a 20 percent annualized return on

Ourinvestment banking business delivered particularly strong results, ranking #1 in global announced andcompleted M&A and showing strong performance in underwriting for both debt and equity, where we
ranked #1 in global IPOs. We also saw improvements from the prior quarter in fixed income sales andtrading, commodities, prime brokerage and our wealth management business. Although we still havework to do in sales and trading, it offers our single biggest opportunity for growth as we build out ourclient flow business and pursue disciplined risk-taking. As we look to realize the full benefits of ourstrategic initiatives – including the addition of new talent in our trading businesses, the continued
integration of the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney joint venture, and the execution of our Mitsubishi
UFJ alliance – I am confident that we are well positioned to serve our clients and realize newopportunities as markets continue to recover.”3

19 percent. The following discussion for fixed income and equity sales and trading focuses on thecurrent quarter results, since the comparisons to the prior year are not meaningful due to the revenue

reflecting lower levels of market activity.

investment grade and distressed debt trading, partly offset by lower levels of client activity andmarket volatility. Results for the quarter also include a net gain of approximately $0.3 billion
related to the sale of the participating interests in the Company’s claim against a derivative
counterparty that filed for bankruptcy protection. Commodities net revenues reflected reduced
levels of client activity and unfavorable market conditions.

GLOBAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT GROUP

loss of $1 million in the third quarter of last year. Comparisons of current quarter results to priorperiods were impacted by the results of MSSB, which closed on May 31, 2009. Net profit after the
non-controlling interest allocation to Citigroup Inc. and before taxes was $197 million.8 The quarter’s
pre-tax margin was 9 percent and return on average common equity was 5 percent.

billion, compared with $0.6 billion a year ago. The increase in non-interest expenses primarilyreflects the operating results of MSSB and integration costs noted above.

ASSET MANAGEMENT
Asset Management posted a pre-tax loss of $356 million, compared with a pre-tax loss of $310 million
in last year’s third quarter, as losses in the Merchant Banking business were partly offset by results in
the Core business,7 which was profitable for the third consecutive quarter. Asset Management
recorded a net loss of $294 million after the non-controlling interest allocation and before taxes.9•

Net revenues were $698 million, compared with $449 million a year ago.

•

Net revenues in the Core business7 were $600 million, up from $308 million in the prior year.
The increase in net revenues was primarily driven by principal investment gains compared withlosses a year ago. 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 $98 million, compared with $141 million inlast year’s third quarter. The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by lower operating
revenues associated with the Crescent real estate subsidiary.

•

Non-interest expenses of $1.1 billion increased 39 percent from a year ago. Compensation
expenses of $0.4 billion increased 27 percent from a year ago. Non-compensation expenses of$0.6 billion increased 49 percent from a year ago and included an impairment charge of $251
million associated with the Crescent real estate subsidiary.

•

Assets under management or supervision at September 30, 2009 were $386 billion, comparedwith $483 billion a year ago. The decline reflects net customer outflows of $79.4 billion since thethird quarter of last year, primarily in the Company’s money market and long-term fixed income
funds.

OTHER MATTERS
The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the quarter was 34.7 percent, up from 27.8
percent a year ago. The increase in the rate primarily reflected the change in the geographic mix ofearnings between domestic and foreign sources.

percent and Tier 1 common ratio, under Basel I, is approximately 8.2 percent.10
