Both the earnings release and the Financial Supplement are available online in the Investor Relations section at www.morganstanley.com.

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 Operations" in Part II, Item 7 and "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in Part II, Item 7A in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and other items throughout the Form 10-K, the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K, including any amendments thereto.

¹ 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).

² 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 define it or 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.

³ 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 applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders from a non-GAAP to GAAP basis is as follows (number of shares are presented in millions):

						2Q 2015			2Q 2014
Earnings (loss) per diluted share - Non-GAAP						$0.79			$0.58
DVA Impact						$0.06			$0.03
Net discrete tax benefit						$0.00			$0.31
Earnings (loss) per diluted share - GAAP						$0.85			$0.92
Average diluted shares						1,960			1,969

⁴ Net revenues excluding DVA and net income (loss) applicable to Morgan Stanley, excluding DVA and net discrete benefit, 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 net income (loss) applicable to Morgan Stanley from a non-GAAP to GAAP basis is as follows (amounts are presented in millions):

						2Q 2015			1Q 2015			2Q 2014
Firm net revenues - Non-GAAP						$9,561			$9,782			$8,521
DVA impact						$182			$125			$87
Firm net revenues - GAAP						$9,743			$9,907			$8,608
Net income (loss) applicable to MS ex. DVA/net discrete tax benefit - Non-GAAP						$1,688			$1,750			$1,229
Net discrete tax benefit						$0			$564			$609
Net income (loss) applicable to MS ex. DVA - Non-GAAP						$1,688			$2,314			$1,838

⁶ 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.

⁷ Includes preferred dividends and other adjustments related to the calculation of earnings per share for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014 of approximately $142 million and $79 million, respectively. Refer to page 13 of Morgan Stanley's Financial Supplement accompanying this release for the calculation of earnings per share.

⁸ The impact to earnings per diluted share is calculated by dividing the net discrete tax benefit by the average number of diluted shares outstanding.

⁹ Annualized return on average common equity (ROE) and ROE excluding DVA are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for investors to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. The calculation of ROE uses net income applicable to Morgan Stanley less preferred dividends as a percentage of average common equity. To determine the ROE excluding DVA, both the numerator and denominator were adjusted to exclude this item. The reconciliation of ROE to ROE excluding DVA is as follows:

					2Q 2015
ROE excluding DVA					9.1%
DVA impact					0.8%
ROE					9.9%

¹⁰ 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. The reconciliation of net revenues and pre-tax income (loss) from a non-GAAP to GAAP basis is as follows (amounts are presented in millions):

						2Q 2015			1Q 2015			2Q 2014
Net revenues - Non-GAAP						$4,990			$5,333			$4,161

Pre-tax income (loss) - GAAP						$1,622			$1,813			$960

¹¹ 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. The reconciliation of sales and trading, including FIC and Equity sales and trading net revenues from a non-GAAP to GAAP basis is as follows (amounts are presented in millions):

						2Q 2015			2Q 2014
Sales & Trading - Non-GAAP						$3,322			$2,559

¹² 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, 2014. Refer to page 6 of Morgan Stanley's Financial Supplement accompanying this release for the VaR disclosure.

¹³ Transactional revenues include investment banking, trading, and commissions and fee revenues.

¹⁴ As a U.S. Basel III 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 that have been approved by their regulators to exit the parallel run, such as the Firm, to a permanent "capital floor". Beginning on January 1, 2015, the capital floor is the lower of the capital ratios computed under the Advanced Approach or the Standardized Approach under U.S. Basel III, taking into consideration applicable transitional provisions. As of June 30, 2015, the lower ratio is represented by U.S. Basel III Advanced Approach. These computations are preliminary estimates as of July 20, 2015 (the date of this release) and could be subject to revision in Morgan Stanley's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The methods for calculating the Firm's risk-based capital ratios will change through January 1, 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 II, Item 7 "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Regulatory Requirements" in Morgan Stanley's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and Part I, Item 2 "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Regulatory Requirements" in Morgan Stanley's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

¹⁵ U.S. Basel III requires the Firm to disclose information related to its supplementary leverage ratio beginning on January 1, 2015, which through to the end of 2017 will include the effects of transitional provisions. The supplementary leverage ratio will become effective as a capital standard on January 1, 2018. Specifically, beginning on January 1, 2018, the Firm must maintain a Tier 1 supplementary leverage capital buffer of greater than 2% in addition to the 3% minimum supplementary leverage ratio (for a total of greater than 5%), in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividends and stock repurchases, and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The Firm's pro forma Supplementary Leverage Ratio estimate utilizes a fully phased-in U.S. Basel III Tier 1 capital numerator and a denominator of approximately $1.16 trillion. The Firm's estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from estimates based on these regulations. Further, these expectations should not be taken as projections of what the Firm's supplementary leverage ratios or earnings, assets or exposures will actually be at future dates. See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of the 2014 Form 10-K for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that may affect the future results of the Firm.

¹⁶ The pro forma fully phased-in Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and pro forma fully phased-in supplementary leverage ratio are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers to be useful measures for evaluating compliance with new regulatory capital requirements that have not yet become effective.

¹⁷ 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.
