This earnings release contains forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made and which reflect management's current estimates, projections, expectations or beliefs and which are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. For a discussion of additional risks and uncertainties that may affect the future results of the Company, please see "Forward-Looking Statements" immediately preceding Part I, Item 1, "Competition" and "Supervision and Regulation" in Part I, Item 1, "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A, "Legal Proceedings" in Part I, Item 3, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

1 On October 31, 2014, the Firm completed a legal entity restructuring that included a change in tax status of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Holdings LLC (MSSBH) from a partnership to a corporation. MSSBH is the holding company for the former Wealth Management JV. As a result of this change in tax status, the Firm's effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three month period ending December 31. 2014 includes a discrete net tax benefit of approximately \$1.4 billion primarily due to the release of a deferred tax liability which was previously established.

2 The impact to earnings per diluted share from continuing operations is calculated by dividing the net discrete tax benefits and the net of tax compensation adjustments, FVA negative revenues and legal expenses, respectively by the average number of diluted shares outstanding.

3 On December 1, 2014, the Firm's Compensation, Management Development and Succession (CMDS) Committee of the Board of Directors approved an approach for awards of discretionary incentive compensation for the 2014 performance year to be granted in 2015 that would reduce the average deferral of such awards to an approximate baseline of 50%. Additionally, the CMDS Committee approved the acceleration of vesting for certain outstanding deferred cash-based incentive compensation awards. With its business strategy in place and greater financial stability, the Firm was in a position to change the level of deferrals, making the Firm's practice more consistent with deferral levels at the Firm's global competitors. The impact of these actions on compensation and benefits expense for the Firm and each business segment are as follows (amounts presented in millions):

Pro-forma 2014 represents compensation and benefit expense at pre-adjustment accrual levels (i.e., at an approximate a) average baseline 74% deferral rate and with no acceleration of cash-based award vesting that was utilized for the first three quarters of 2014)

$b$ Reflects reduction in deferral level from an approximate average baseline of 74% to an approximate average baseline of 50% $\mathbf{c}$

Represents acceleration of vesting for certain cash-based awards

4 During the fourth quarter of 2014, Morgan Stanley incorporated funding valuation adjustments (FVA) into the fair value measurements of over-the-counter uncollateralized or partially collateralized derivatives, and in collateralized derivatives where the terms of the agreement do not permit the reuse of the collateral received. The Firm's implementation of FVA reflects the inclusion of FVA in the pricing and valuations by the majority of market participants involved in the Firm's principal exit market for these instruments. In general, FVA reflects a market funding risk premium inherent in the noted derivative instruments. In connection with its implementation of FVA, Morgan Stanley incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately \$468 million, representing a change in accounting estimate, of which \$466 million was reflected as a reduction to Institutional Securities Fixed Income & Commodities sales and trading net revenues.

5 Represents the change in the fair value of certain of the Firm's long-term and short-term borrowings resulting from the fluctuation in the Firm's credit spreads and other credit factors (Debt Valuation Adjustment, DVA).

6 Net revenues and income (loss) from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley, excluding DVA, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors to allow for better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. The reconciliation of net revenues and income (loss) from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley from a non-GAAP to GAAP basis is as follows (amounts are presented in millions):

7 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. For these purposes, "GAAP" refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines a "non-GAAP financial measure" as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial positions, 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 GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by Morgan Stanley are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing, our financial condition and operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for 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 present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure we reference and such comparable GAAP financial measure.

8 Earnings (loss) per diluted share amounts, excluding DVA, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. Such exclusions are provided to differentiate revenues associated with Morgan Stanley borrowings, regardless of whether the impact is either positive, or negative, that result solely from fluctuations in credit spreads and other credit factors. The reconciliation of earnings (loss) per diluted share from continuing operations applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders and average diluted shares from a non-GAAP to GAAP basis is as follows (number of shares, and DVA impact thereon, are presented in millions).

11 Institutional Securities net revenues and pre-tax income (loss), excluding DVA, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors to allow for better comparability of period-to-period operating performance.

12 Pre-tax margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers useful for investors to assess operating performance. Pre-tax margin represents income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes divided by net revenues.

13 Noncontrolling interests reported in the Institutional Securities business segment includes the allocation to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. of Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities Co., Ltd., which the Firm consolidates.

14 Sales and trading net revenues, including Fixed Income & Commodities (FIC) and Equity sales and trading net revenues excluding DVA, are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance.

15 VaR represents the loss amount that one would not expect to exceed, on average, more than five times every one hundred trading days in the Firm's trading positions if the portfolio were held constant for a one-day period. Further discussion of the calculation of VaR and the limitations of the Firm's VaR methodology is disclosed in Part II, Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" included in Morgan Stanley's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Refer to page 7 of Morgan Stanley's Financial Supplement accompanying this release for the VaR disclosure.

16 Transactional revenues include investment banking, trading, and commissions and fee revenues.

17 Results for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2013 included pre-tax income of \$11 million and \$46 million, respectively, related to investments held by certain consolidated real estate funds. Results for the full year 2014 and 2013 included pre-tax income of \$88 million and \$181 million, respectively, related to investments held by certain consolidated real estate funds. The limited partnership interests in these funds are reported in net income (loss) applicable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests on page 10 of Morgan Stanley's Financial Supplement accompanying this release.

18 Net revenues for the current quarter included gains of \$11 million compared with gains of \$48 million in the prior year fourth quarter related to investments held by certain consolidated real estate funds. Net revenues for the current year included gains of \$89 million compared with gains of \$188 million in the prior year related to investments held by certain consolidated real estate funds.

19 On April 1, 2014, the Firm deconsolidated approximately \$2 billion in total assets related to a real estate fund sponsored by the Firm.

20 As an Advanced Approach banking organization, the Firm is required to compute risk-based capital ratios using both (i) standardized approaches for calculating credit risk weighted assets ("RWAs") and market risk RWAs (the "Standardized Approach"); and (ii) an advanced internal ratings-based approach for calculating credit risk RWAs, an advanced measurement approach for calculating operational risk RWAs, and an advanced approach for market risk RWAs calculated under Basel III (the "Advanced Approach"). To implement a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act, U.S. Basel III subjects Advanced Approach banking organizations which have been approved by their regulators to exit the parallel run, such as the Firm, to a permanent "capital floor". In calendar year 2014, the capital floor results in the Firm's capital ratios being the lower of the capital ratios computed under the Advanced Approach or the U.S. Basel I-based rules as supplemented by the existing market risk rules known as "Basel 2.5". For the current quarter, the Firm's capital floor is represented by the Advanced Approach. Beginning on January 1, 2015, the capital floor will result in the Firm's capital ratios being the lower of the capital ratios computed under the Advanced Approach or the Standardized Approach under U.S. Basel III. These computations are preliminary estimates as of January 20, 2015 (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, 2014. The methods for calculating the Firm's risk-based capital ratios will change through 2022 as aspects of the U.S. Basel III final rule are phased in. The Firm's capital takes into consideration regulatory capital requirements as well as capital required for organic growth, acquisitions and other business needs.

21 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. Tangible book value per common share equals tangible common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding.

MORGAN STANLEY End Notes

Page 1:

  • (1) 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. For these purposes, "GAAP" refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines a "non-GAAP financial measure" as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial positions, 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 GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by Morgan Stanley are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing, our financial condition and operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for 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 present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure we reference and such comparable GAAP financial measure.
  • (2) The return on average common equity and the return on average common equity from continuing operations equal income applicable to Morgan Stanley in each case less preferred dividends as a percentage of average common equity. The return on average common equity and the return on average common equity from continuing operations excluding DVA are adjusted for DVA in each case in the numerator and denominator.
  • (3) As an Advanced Approach banking organization, the Firm is required to compute risk-based capital ratios using both (i) standardized approaches for calculating credit risk weighted assets ("RWAs") and market risk RWAs (the "Standardized Approach"); and (ii) an advanced internal ratings-based approach for calculating credit risk RWAs, an advanced measurement approach for calculating operational risk RWAs, and an advanced approach for market risk RWAs calculated under Basel III (the "Advanced Approach"). To implement a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act, U.S. Basel III subjects Advanced Approach banking organizations which have been approved by their regulators to exit the parallel run, such as the Firm, to a permanent "capital floor". In calendar year 2014, the capital floor results in the Firm's capital ratios being the lower of the capital ratios computed under the Advanced Approach or the U.S. Basel I-based rules as supplemented by the existing market risk rules known as "Basel 2.5". For the current quarter, the Firm's capital floor is represented by the Advanced Approach. Beginning on January 1, 2015, the capital floor will result in the Firm's ratios being the lower of the capital ratios computed under the Advanced Approach or the Standardized Approach under Basel III. These computations are preliminary estimates as of January 20, 2015 (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, 2014. The methods for calculating the Firm's risk-based capital ratios will change through 2022 as aspects of the U.S. Basel III final rule are phased in. For information on the calculation of regulatory capital and ratios for prior periods, please refer to Part 2, Item 7 "Regulatory Requirements" in Morgan Stanley's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and Part 1, Item 2 "Regulatory Requirements" in Morgan Stanley's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

  • (1) During the fourth quarter of 2014, Morgan Stanley incorporated funding valuation adjustments (FVA) into the fair value measurements of over-thecounter uncollateralized or partially collateralized derivatives, and in collateralized derivatives where the terms of the agreement do not permit the reuse of the collateral received. The Firm's implementation of FVA reflects the inclusion of FVA in the pricing and valuations by the majority of market participants involved in the Firm's principal exit market for these instruments. In general, FVA reflects a market funding risk premium inherent in the noted derivative instruments. In connection with its implementation of FVA, Morgan Stanley incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately \$468 million, representing a change in accounting estimate, of which \$466 million was reflected as a reduction to Institutional Securities Fixed Income & Commodities sales and trading net revenues.

Additionally, the CMDS Committee approved the acceleration of vesting for certain outstanding deferred cash-based incentive compensation awards. The impact of these actions on compensation and benefits expenses for the Firm and each business segment are as follows: change in 2014 level of deferrals: Firm: \$756 million, ISG: \$610 million, WM: \$66 million, IM: \$80 million and acceleration of prior year cash-based deferred awards: Firm: \$381 million

The quarter ended September 30, 2014 included a net discrete benefit of \$237 anticipated. Also included in the full year ended December 31, 2014, were discrete tax benefits of approximately \$609 million related to the remeasurement of reserves and related interest based on new information regarding the status of a multi-year tax authority examination. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the income tax provision / (benefit) from continuing operations included discrete tax benefits of \$407 million consisting of \$161 million related to the remeasurement of reserves and related interest based on new information regarding the status of certain tax authority examinations, \$92 million related to the establishment of a deferred tax asset associated with the reorganization of certain non-U.S. legal entities, \$73 million attributable to tax planning strategies to optimize foreign tax credit utilization in anticipation of the repatriation of earnings from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries and \$81 million resulting from a retroactive change in U.S. tax law.
