2023 Annual Dodd-Frank Act

Company-Run Stress Test

Disclosure

June 2023

2023 Annual Dodd-Frank Act Company-Run Stress Test Disclosure Cautionary Note onForward-LookingStatements

  • The 2023 Dodd-Frank Act Annual Stress Test Disclosure (the Stress Test Results) presented herein contains forward-looking projections that represent estimates based on the hypothetical, severely adverse economic and market scenarios and assumptions under the Supervisory Severely Adverse scenario prescribed by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB). The Stress Test Results do not represent the firm's forecasts of actual expected gains, losses, pre-provision net revenue, net income before taxes, capital, capital actions, risk- weighted assets or capital ratios
  • The estimated results contained herein may not align with those produced by the FRB, even where the same hypothetical stress scenario is used, due to differences in methodologies and assumptions used to produce those estimates. In addition, the results contained herein may not be comparable to results of prior stress tests conducted by the firm or the FRB due to, among other factors, changes in applicable hypothetical stress scenarios, methodological changes, changes in applicable assumptions and changes in the firm's business and exposures
  • For a discussion of some of the risks and important factors that could affect the firm's future business, results and financial condition, see "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. You should also read the cautionary notes on forward-looking statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023
  • The statements in the presentation are current only as of the date the presentation was posted to the firm's website and the firm does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of subsequent events or circumstances

2023 Annual Dodd-Frank Act Company-Run Stress Test Disclosure Overview & Requirements

DFAST Requirements

  • The company-run U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) Stress Tests (DFAST) are conducted annually and completed in April of each year. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (we, us, or our) and Goldman Sachs Bank USA are currently required to conduct stress tests using a set of macroeconomic scenarios (Supervisory Baseline and Supervisory Severely Adverse) developed by the FRB
  • In addition, as part of our capital plan submitted to the FRB in connection with its annual Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), we are also required to assess our capital adequacy under internally developed Baseline and Severely Adverse scenarios
  • We are required to calculate our 2023 DFAST in accordance with the regulations of the FRB (Capital Framework). These regulations are largely based on the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's framework for strengthening international capital standards (Basel III) and also implement certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The capital requirements are expressed as risk-based capital and leverage ratios that compare measures of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets (RWA), average assets and off-balance sheet exposures
  • We are required to calculate the following results, excluding the impact of material business plan changes, for all quarters of the planning horizon:
    • Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios in accordance with the Standardized approach and market risk rules set out in the Capital Framework (together, the Standardized Capital Rules)
    • Tier 1 leverage ratio, using the Capital Framework definition of Tier 1 capital in the numerator and adjusted total assets (which includes adjustments for certain capital deductions) in the denominator
    • Supplementary leverage ratio (SLR), which includes the Capital Framework definition of Tier 1 capital in the numerator and a measure of leverage exposure consisting of total assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures in the denominator (which include a measure of derivatives, securities financing transactions, commitments and guarantees) less certain balance sheet deductions
  • The planning horizon for the 2023 DFAST is the first quarter of 2023 through the first quarter of 2025

2023 Annual Dodd-Frank Act Company-Run Stress Test Disclosure Overview & Requirements

Global Market Shock & Large Counterparty Default

  • Firms with significant trading activity, such as us, must include in their DFAST Supervisory Severely Adverse scenario a Global Market Shock (GMS) that assesses potential losses associated with trading positions, private equity positions and counterparty exposures. Additionally, firms subject to the GMS must apply the shock as of a specified point in time, which results in an instantaneous loss and a reduction in capital at the start of the planning horizon
  • Firms with substantial trading or processing and custodian operations, such as us, are also required to incorporate a counterparty default scenario component into their Supervisory Severely Adverse stress scenario. Firms subject to the counterparty default scenario component are required to estimate and report the potential losses and related effects on capital associated with the instantaneous and unexpected default of the counterparty that would generate the largest losses across its derivatives and securities financing transactions, including securities lending and repurchase agreement activities

Capital Actions

  • Results incorporate capital action assumptions as prescribed by the FRB's DFAST rules, which assume no dividends on instruments that qualify as CET1 capital, no redemptions or repurchases of any capital instrument that is eligible for inclusion in the numerator of a regulatory capital ratio, and no issuances of common stock or preferred stock
  • The FRB's DFAST rules also assume payments are made on instruments that qualify as additional Tier 1 capital or Tier 2 capital equal to the stated dividend, interest, or principal due on such instrument

Stress Capital Buffer (SCB)

  • SCB is measured as the difference between the starting and lowest projected CET1 capital ratio in the Supervisory Severely Adverse scenario, as calculated by the FRB, plus four quarters of planned common stock dividends as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, subject to a 2.5% floor. This disclosure does not include detail on the SCB, which will be released by the FRB in August

Projection Methodologies

Pre-Provision Net Revenues (PPNR) - Revenues

  • When projecting revenues we utilize multiple approaches including models based on regression analyses, repricing inventory due to the projected changes in asset values, and management's judgment. Each of the three segments below has a unique combination of business activities that respond differently under various macroeconomic scenarios
  • We also incorporate the impact of industry performance during historical stressed periods to help guide management's judgment

Segment

Projection Methodologies

PPNR - Operating Expenses

  • Operating expense projections include:
    • Compensation and benefits expense, which includes salaries, year-end discretionary compensation, amortization of equity awards and other items, such as benefits. Discretionary compensation is significantly impacted by, among other factors, the level of net revenues, net of provisions for credit losses, overall financial performance, prevailing labor markets, business mix, the structure of our share-based compensation programs and the external environment
    • Expenses that vary based on the overall operating environment, such as transaction based expenses, which reflect changes in levels of business activity, and market development costs
    • Expenses that relate to our global footprint and overall headcount levels, such as depreciation and amortization, occupancy, and communication and technology costs
    • Operational risk losses, including litigation reserves (and corresponding legal fees), as well as any projected impairments of non- financial assets

Provisions for Loan Losses

  • Provisions for loan losses are projected over the planning horizon using a comprehensive model-based approach for both wholesale and consumer lending activities. The wholesale model estimates losses based on projections of the probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default, which is segmented by industry classification and region for loans and lending commitments accounted for at amortized cost. The consumer lending model estimates losses based on projected growth and changes in borrower credit quality
  • As required by FRB instruction, our calculation of provisions incorporates our implementation of the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) standard. The FRB's calculations will not incorporate this methodology or its impact on provisions in 2023 DFAST

2023 Annual Dodd-Frank Act Company-Run Stress Test Disclosure

Projection Methodologies

Trading & Counterparty Losses

  • Trading & Counterparty Losses include mark-to-market losses, trading incremental default risk losses on positions held at fair value and changes in CVA and other counterparty credit losses as a result of the GMS, as well as the impact of the counterparty default scenario. Subsequent trading incremental default risk losses over the course of the macroeconomic scenario are also included. We use our existing stress testing and risk management infrastructure to calculate the impact of the GMS and to quantify the impact of the counterparty default scenario

Other Losses

  • Other Losses primarily include projected changes over the course of the macroeconomic scenario in the fair value of non-trading loans and lending commitments, which are held for sale or accounted for under the fair value option, as well as their associated hedges, which are not subject to the GMS pursuant to the FRB's instructions

Balance Sheet

  • Balance sheet projections are based on the macroeconomic environment and incorporate input from businesses on growth assumptions, planned activity, changes to carrying values as a result of marking our inventory to market, and management's judgment as to how we manage our balance sheet, funding and liquidity over the course of the macroeconomic scenario

Capital and RWA

  • Capital projections incorporate projected net earnings, capital deductions and other changes in equity, and capital actions required by the DFAST rules. Projected RWA reflect the impact of the macroeconomic environment, such as changes in volatilities and credit spreads. Additionally, projected RWA and capital deductions are also impacted by the projected size and composition of our balance sheet over the course of the macroeconomic scenario
