GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC

Balance Sheet Management

One of our risk management disciplines is our ability to manage the size and composition of our balance sheet. While our asset base changes due to client activity, market fluctuations and business opportunities, the size and composition of our balance sheet also reflects factors, including (i) our overall risk tolerance, (ii) the amount of capital we hold and (iii) our funding profile, among other factors. See “Capital Management and Regulatory Capital — Capital Management” for information about our capital management process.

Although our balance sheet fluctuates on a day-to-day basis, our total assets at quarter-end are generally not materially different from those occurring within our reporting periods.

In order to ensure appropriate risk management, we seek to maintain a sufficiently liquid balance sheet and have processes in place to dynamically manage our assets and liabilities, which include (i) balance sheet planning, (ii) setting balance sheet targets, (iii) monitoring of key metrics and (iv) scenario analyses.

Balance Sheet Planning. We prepare a balance sheet plan that combines our projected total assets and composition of assets with our expected funding sources over a three-year time horizon. This plan is reviewed quarterly and may be adjusted in response to changing business needs or market conditions. The objectives of this planning process are:

•To develop our balance sheet projections, taking into account the general state of the financial markets and expected business activity levels, as well as regulatory requirements;

•To allow Corporate Treasury to set balance sheet targets of our revenue-producing units and evaluate requests to change such targets in the context of our overall balance sheet constraints, including our liability profile and capital levels, and key metrics; and

•To inform the target amount, tenor and type of funding to raise, based on our projected assets and contractual maturities.

Corporate Treasury and Risk, along with our revenue-producing units, review current and prior period information and expectations for the year to prepare our balance sheet plan. The specific information reviewed includes asset and liability size and composition, target utilization, risk and performance measures, and capital usage.

Setting Balance Sheet Targets. We set balance sheet targets to align with our strategic objectives and in consideration of a number of factors, including our risk appetite, our funding plan, our and our subsidiaries’ regulatory capital and liquidity requirements, as well as the broader operating environment. The Firmwide Asset Liability Committee has the responsibility to review and approve balance sheet targets at least quarterly. Our balance sheet targets are set at levels which are close to actual operating levels, rather than at levels which reflect our maximum risk appetite, in order to ensure prompt escalation and discussion among our revenue-producing units, Corporate Treasury and Risk. Requests for changes in targets are evaluated after giving consideration to their impact on our key metrics.

Monitoring of Key Metrics. We monitor key balance sheet metrics both by business and on a consolidated basis, including asset and liability size and composition, target utilization and risk measures. We attribute assets to businesses and review and analyze movements resulting from new business activity, as well as market fluctuations.

Scenario Analyses. We conduct various scenario analyses, including as part of preparing our balance sheet plan, Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act Stress Tests (DFAST) and our recovery and resolution planning. See “Capital Management and Regulatory Capital — Capital Management” for further information about these scenario analyses. These scenarios cover short- and long-term time horizons over a range of economic scenarios, using various macroeconomic and firm-specific assumptions, including those used in our liquidity stress tests. We use these analyses to assist us in developing our longer-term balance sheet management strategy, including the level and composition of assets, funding and capital. Additionally, these analyses help us develop approaches for maintaining appropriate funding, liquidity and capital across a variety of situations, including a severely stressed environment.

Balance Sheet Analysis and Metrics

As of June 2026, total assets in our consolidated balance sheets were $2.13 trillion, an increase of $318.39 billion from December 2025, primarily reflecting increases in trading assets of $132.29 billion (primarily due to increases in equity securities, government and agency obligations and corporate debt, reflecting the impact of our and our clients’ activities), investments of $61.36 billion (reflecting an increase in U.S. government obligations, primarily due to increases in securities accounted for as available-for-sale), customer and other receivables of $44.44 billion (reflecting our clients’ activities), collateralized agreements of $31.61 billion (reflecting our and our clients’ activities), loans of $23.15 billion (primarily due to increases in other collateralized loans and corporate loans), and cash and cash equivalents of $23.01 billion (primarily reflecting our activities). See "Risk Management — Liquidity Risk Management — Cash Flows" for further information about cash and cash equivalents.

As of June 2026, total liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets were $2.00 trillion, an increase of $320.62 billion from December 2025, reflecting increases in unsecured borrowings of $81.92 billion (primarily driven by net issuances), customer and other payables of $68.19 billion (reflecting our clients’ activities), trading liabilities of $61.23 billion (primarily due to increases in equity securities, government and agency obligations and corporate debt, reflecting the impact of our and our clients' activities, and derivative instruments reflecting the impact of equity price movements), deposits of $56.53 billion (reflecting increases across all sources, primarily in consumer deposit, transaction banking deposit and other deposit balances), and collateralized financings of $52.53 billion (reflecting the impact of our and our clients’ activities).

Our total securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), accounted for as collateralized financings, as of both June 2026 and December 2025 were largely in line compared with the average daily amount of repurchase agreements over the respective quarters.

The level of our repurchase agreements fluctuates between and within periods, primarily due to providing clients with access to highly liquid collateral, such as certain government and agency obligations, through collateralized financing activities.

The table below presents information about our balance sheet and leverage ratios.

•The leverage ratio equals total assets divided by total shareholders’ equity and measures the proportion of equity and debt we use to finance assets. This ratio is different from the leverage ratios included in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.

•The debt-to-equity ratio equals unsecured long-term borrowings divided by total shareholders’ equity.

The table below presents information about our shareholders’ equity and book value per common share, including the reconciliation of common shareholders’ equity to tangible common shareholders’ equity.

•Tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated as total shareholders’ equity less preferred stock, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. We believe that tangible common shareholders’ equity is meaningful because it is a measure that we and investors use to assess capital adequacy. Tangible common shareholders’ equity is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

•Book value per common share and tangible book value per common share are based on (i) common shares outstanding and (ii) restricted stock units granted to employees and exchangeable instruments, which in both cases, are not subject to satisfaction of future service, performance or market conditions (collectively, basic shares) of 298.4 million as of June 2026 and 307.1 million as of December 2025. We believe that tangible book value per common share (tangible common shareholders’ equity divided by basic shares) is meaningful because it is a measure that we and investors use to assess capital adequacy. Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Funding Sources

Our primary sources of funding are deposits, collateralized financings, unsecured short- and long-term borrowings, and shareholders’ equity. We seek to maintain broad and diversified funding sources globally across products, programs, markets, currencies and creditors to avoid funding concentrations.

The table below presents information about our funding sources.

Our funding is primarily raised in U.S. dollar, Euro, British pound and Japanese yen. We generally distribute our funding products through our own sales force and third-party distributors to a large, diverse creditor base in a variety of markets in the Americas, Europe and Asia. We believe that our relationships with our creditors are critical to our liquidity. Our creditors include banks, governments, securities lenders, corporations, pension funds, insurance companies, mutual funds and individuals. We have imposed various internal guidelines to monitor creditor concentration across our funding programs.

Deposits. We raise deposits, including savings, demand and time deposits, from consumers, private bank clients, through internal and third-party broker-dealers, transaction banking clients and other institutional clients. Substantially all of our deposits are raised through Goldman Sachs Bank USA (GS Bank USA), Goldman Sachs International Bank (GSIB) and Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE (GSBE).

The table below presents the types and sources of deposits.

•Savings and demand accounts consist of money market deposit accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal accounts and demand deposit accounts that have no stated maturity or expiration date.

•Time deposits had a weighted average maturity of approximately 0.7 years as of both June 2026 and December 2025.

•Consumer deposits consist of deposits from both Marcus and Apple Card customers.

•Deposit sweep programs include contractual agreements primarily with U.S. broker-dealers who sweep client cash to FDIC-insured deposits.

•Transaction banking deposits consist of deposits that we raised through our cash management services business for corporate and other institutional clients.

•Other deposits are substantially all from institutional clients.

•Deposits insured by the FDIC were $300.35 billion as of June 2026 and $269.63 billion as of December 2025.

•Deposits insured by non-U.S. insurance programs were $33.40 billion as of June 2026 and $31.70 billion as of December 2025.

See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for further information about our deposits, including a maturity profile of our time deposits.

Secured Funding. We fund a significant amount of inventory and a portion of investments on a secured basis. Secured funding includes collateralized financings in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for further information about our collateralized financings, including its maturity profile. We may also pledge our inventory and investments as collateral for securities borrowed under a securities lending agreement. We also use our own inventory and investments to cover transactions in which we or our clients have sold securities that have not yet been purchased. Secured funding is less sensitive to changes in our credit quality than unsecured funding, due to our posting of collateral to our lenders. Nonetheless, we analyze the refinancing risk of our secured funding activities, taking into account trade tenors, maturity profiles, counterparty concentrations, collateral eligibility and counterparty rollover probabilities. We seek to mitigate our refinancing risk by executing term trades with staggered maturities, diversifying counterparties, raising excess secured funding and pre-funding residual risk through our GCLA.

We seek to raise secured funding with a term appropriate for the liquidity of the assets that are being financed, and we seek longer maturities for secured funding collateralized by asset classes that may be harder to fund on a secured basis, especially during times of market stress. Our secured funding, excluding funding collateralized by liquid government and agency obligations, is primarily executed for tenors of one month or greater and is primarily executed through term repurchase agreements and securities loaned contracts.

Assets that may be harder to fund on a secured basis during times of market stress include, among other things, mortgage- and other asset-backed loans and securities, non-investment-grade corporate debt securities, equity securities and emerging market securities.

We also have access to and may raise collateralized financings through the Federal Reserve’s standing repurchase agreement operations and the Federal Reserve discount window. In addition, GS Bank USA has access to funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for further information about our borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Unsecured Short-Term Borrowings. A significant portion of our unsecured short-term borrowings was originally long-term debt that is scheduled to mature within one year of the reporting date. We use unsecured short-term borrowings, including U.S. and non-U.S. hybrid financial instruments and commercial paper, to finance liquid assets and for other cash management purposes. In accordance with regulatory requirements, Group Inc. does not issue debt with an original maturity of less than one year, other than to its subsidiaries. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for further information about our unsecured short-term borrowings.

Unsecured Long-Term Borrowings. Unsecured long-term borrowings, including structured notes, are raised through syndicated U.S. registered offerings, U.S. registered and Rule 144A medium-term note programs, offshore medium-term note offerings and other debt offerings. We issue in different tenors, currencies and products to maximize the diversification of our investor base.

The table below presents our quarterly unsecured long-term borrowings maturity profile.

The weighted average maturity of our unsecured long-term borrowings as of June 2026 was approximately seven years. To mitigate refinancing risk, we seek to limit the principal amount of debt maturing over the course of any monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual time horizon. We enter into interest rate swaps to convert a portion of our unsecured long-term borrowings into floating-rate obligations to manage our exposure to interest rates. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for further information about our unsecured long-term borrowings.

Shareholders’ Equity. Shareholders’ equity is a stable and perpetual source of funding. See Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for further information about our shareholders’ equity.
