Executive Overview

Three Months Ended June 2026 versus June 2025. We generated net earnings of $6.63 billion for the second quarter of 2026, compared with $3.72 billion for the second quarter of 2025. Diluted earnings per common share (EPS) was $20.98 for the second quarter of 2026, compared with $10.91 for the second quarter of 2025. Annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity (ROE) was 23.5% for the second quarter of 2026, compared with 12.8% for the second quarter of 2025. Book value per common share was $367.67 as of June 2026, 1.8% higher compared with March 2026 and 2.8% higher compared with December 2025.

Net revenues were $20.34 billion for the second quarter of 2026, 39% higher than the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting significantly higher net revenues in Global Banking & Markets. The increase in net revenues in Global Banking & Markets reflected significantly higher net revenues in Equities, Investment banking fees, and Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (FICC). Net revenues in Asset & Wealth Management were significantly higher, reflecting significantly higher Management and other fees and significantly higher net revenues in Investments, partially offset by lower net revenues in Private banking and lending. Net revenues in Platform Solutions were significantly lower, primarily reflecting net markdowns related to the Apple Card loan portfolio, which was transferred to held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Provision for credit losses was $102 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared with $384 million for the second quarter of 2025. Provisions for the second quarter of 2026 primarily reflected impairments related to wholesale loans. Provisions for the second quarter of 2025 primarily reflected net provisions related to the credit card portfolio, which was transferred to held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2025, and growth related to wholesale loans.

Operating expenses were $11.67 billion for the second quarter of 2026, 26% higher than the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting significantly higher compensation and benefits expenses (reflecting improved operating performance) and transaction based expenses. Our efficiency ratio (total operating expenses divided by total net revenues) was 57.4% for the second quarter of 2026, compared with 63.4% for the second quarter of 2025.

Net revenues were $37.57 billion for the first half of 2026, 27% higher than the first half of 2025, primarily reflecting significantly higher net revenues in Global Banking & Markets. The increase in net revenues in Global Banking & Markets primarily reflected significantly higher net revenues in Equities and Investment banking fees and higher net revenues in FICC.

Net revenues in Platform Solutions were significantly lower, primarily reflecting net markdowns related to the Apple Card loan portfolio, which was transferred to held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Business Environment

During the second quarter of 2026, the operating environment was generally characterized by resilient economic activity, particularly in the U.S., geopolitical concerns, a focus on investments related to artificial intelligence (AI) and uncertainty in the outlook for inflation and international trade policies (including tariffs). The conflict in the Middle East persisted over the course of the quarter, contributing to periods of market volatility. However, shifts in investor sentiment led to generally higher global equity markets following a decline in the prior quarter. Althou

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Risk Management” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our businesses. Many of these proceedings are in early stages, and many of these cases seek an indeterminate amount of damages. We have estimated the upper end of the range of reasonably possible aggregate loss for matters where we have been able to estimate a range and we believe, based on currently available information, that the results of matters where we have not been able to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, but may be material to our operating results in a given period. Given the range of litigation and investigations presently under way, our litigation expenses may remain high. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Use of Estimates” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q. See Notes 18 and 27 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for information about our reasonably possible aggregate loss estimate and judicial, regulatory and legal proceedings.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 1, 2026, Group Inc. issued 529,682 common shares with a fair value of approximately $400 million in connection with the acquisition of Innovator Capital Management, LLC (Innovator). These common shares were issued to certain former members of Innovator (or their affiliated entities) as partial consideration for their equity in Innovator.

This issuance was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for private sales by an issuer not involving a public offering.

The table below presents purchases made by or on behalf of Group Inc. or any “affiliated purchaser” (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act) of our common stock during the three months ended June 2026.

In 2025, our Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing repurchases of up to $40 billion of our common stock. This program replaced our previous share repurchase program and has no set expiration or termination date. The share repurchases are effected primarily through regular open-market purchases (which may include repurchase plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 and accelerated share repurchases), the amounts and timing of which are determined primarily by our current and projected capital position, and capital deployment opportunities, but which may also be influenced by the evolution of current and future regulatory capital requirements, general market conditions and the prevailing price and trading volumes of our common stock.

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

During the three months ended June 2026, no directors or executive officers entered into, modified or terminated, contracts, instructions or written plans for the sale or purchase of Group Inc.’s securities that were intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 or that constituted non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements (as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
