Part I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors
TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (the
Company) as of March 31, 2011, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the
three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of TD Ameritrade Holding
Corporation as of September 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our
report dated November 19, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

4. INCOME TAXES

to 31.6% for the six months ended March 31, 2010. The provision for income taxes for the six
months ended March 31, 2011 was somewhat lower than normal due to $5.4 million of favorable
resolutions of state income tax matters and $1.4 million of favorable deferred income tax
adjustments resulting from recent state income tax law changes. These items favorably impacted the
Companys earnings for the six months ended March 31, 2011 by approximately $0.01 per share. The
provision for income taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was unusually low due to $28.8
million of favorable resolutions of certain federal and state income tax matters. These items
favorably impacted the Companys earnings for the six months ended March 31, 2010 by approximately
$0.05 per share.

Fair value adjustments relate to changes in the fair value of the debt while in a fair
value hedging relationship. See Interest Rate Swaps below. |
Interest Rate Swaps The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate
Senior Notes resulting from interest rate fluctuations. To hedge this exposure, on December 30,
2009, the Company entered into fixed-for-variable interest
9
rate swaps on the 2.950% Senior Notes
due December 1, 2012 (the 2012 Notes) and the 4.150% Senior Notes due December 1, 2014 (the 2014
Notes) for notional amounts of $250 million and $500 million, respectively, with maturity dates
matching the respective maturity dates of the 2012 Notes and 2014 Notes. In addition, on January
7, 2011, the Company entered into a fixed-for-variable interest rate swap on the 5.600% Senior
Notes due December 1, 2019 (the 2019 Notes) for a notional amount of $500 million, with a
maturity date matching the maturity date of the 2019 Notes. The interest rate swaps effectively
change the fixed-rate interest on the Senior Notes to variable-rate interest. Under the terms of
the interest rate swap agreements, the Company receives semi-annual fixed-rate interest payments
based on the same rates applicable to the Senior Notes, and makes quarterly variable-rate interest
payments based on three-month LIBOR plus (a) 0.9693% for the swap on the 2012 Notes, (b) 1.245% for
the swap on the 2014 Notes and (c) 2.3745% for the swap on the 2019 Notes. As of March 31, 2011, the weighted-average effective interest rate on the Senior Notes
was 1.95%.
The interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges and qualify for the shortcut method
of accounting. Changes in the payment of interest resulting from the interest rate swaps are
recorded as an offset to interest on borrowings on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are completely offset by changes in fair value of
the related notes, resulting in no effect on net income. The following table summarizes gains and
losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and the hedged
fixed-rate debt:

The interest rate swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk. Credit risk is managed by
limiting activity to approved counterparties that meet a minimum credit rating threshold and by
entering into credit support agreements. The bilateral credit support agreements related to the
interest rate swaps require daily collateral coverage, in the form of cash or U.S. Treasury
securities, for the aggregate fair value of the interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2011 and
September 30, 2010, the interest rate swap counterparty for the 2012 Notes and 2014 Notes had
pledged $34.8 million and $52.9 million of collateral, respectively, to the Company in the form of
U.S. Treasury securities. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had pledged $1.8 million of collateral
for the 2019 Notes to the interest rate swap counterparty in the form of cash.
6. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Companys broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule
15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which requires the maintenance of minimum net
capital, as defined. Net capital is calculated for each broker-dealer subsidiary individually.
Excess net capital of one broker-dealer subsidiary may not be used to offset a net capital
deficiency of another broker-dealer subsidiary. Net capital and the related net capital
requirement may fluctuate on a daily basis.

TD Ameritrade Clearing, Inc. (TDAC) is a clearing broker-dealer and TD Ameritrade, Inc. is an
introducing broker-dealer. Prior to October 12, 2010, Bellevue Chicago, LLC (formerly thinkorswim,
Inc.) was registered as an introducing broker-dealer. On May 25, 2010, Bellevue Chicago, LLC
transferred its introducing broker-dealer business to TD Ameritrade, Inc. On October 12, 2010, the
Company withdrew Bellevue Chicago, LLCs registration as a broker-dealer.
The Companys non-depository trust company subsidiary, TD Ameritrade Trust Company (TDATC), is
subject to capital requirements established by the State of Maine, which requires TDATC to maintain
minimum Tier 1 capital, as defined. TDATCs Tier 1 capital was $19.4 million and $22.3 million as
of March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, which exceeded the required Tier 1 capital
by $9.4 million and $12.3 million, respectively.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Spam Litigation A purported class action, captioned Elvey v. TD Ameritrade, Inc., was filed on
May 31, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The
complaint alleges that there was a breach in TD Ameritrade, Inc.s systems, which allowed access to
e-mail addresses and other personal information of account holders, and that as a result account
holders received unsolicited e-mail from spammers promoting certain stocks and have been subjected
to an increased risk of identity theft. The complaint requests unspecified damages and injunctive
and other equitable relief. A second lawsuit, captioned Zigler v. TD Ameritrade, Inc., was filed
on September 26, 2007, in the same jurisdiction on behalf of a purported nationwide class of
account holders. The factual allegations of the complaint and the relief sought are substantially
the same as those in the first lawsuit. The cases were consolidated under the caption In re TD
Ameritrade Accountholders Litigation and a consolidated complaint was filed. The Company hired an
independent consultant to investigate whether identity theft occurred as a result of the breach.
The consultant conducted four investigations from August 2007 to June 2008 and reported that it
found no evidence of identity theft. On December 20, 2010, TD Ameritrade, Inc. received
preliminary Court approval of a proposed class settlement agreement between TD Ameritrade, Inc. and
plaintiffs Richard Holober and Brad Zigler. Under the proposed settlement, the Company will pay no
less than $2.5 million in settlement benefits. Total compensation to be paid to all eligible
members of the settlement class will not exceed $6.5 million, inclusive of any award of attorneys
fees and costs. In addition, the settlement agreement provides that the Company will retain an
independent information technology security consultant to assess whether the Company has met
certain information technology security standards. The proposed settlement is subject to final
approval by the Court. A hearing on final approval of the proposed settlement was held on April
19, 2011. The Court has not yet ruled on the matter.
Reserve Fund Matters During September 2008, The Reserve, an independent mutual fund company,
announced that the net asset value of the Reserve Yield Plus Fund declined below $1.00 per share.
The Yield Plus Fund was not a money market mutual fund, but its stated objective was to maintain a
net asset value of $1.00 per share. TD Ameritrade, Inc.s clients continue to hold shares in the
Yield Plus Fund (now known as Yield Plus Fund In Liquidation), which is being liquidated. On
July 23, 2010, The Reserve announced that through that date it had distributed approximately 94.8%
of the Yield Plus Fund assets as of September 15, 2008 and that the Yield Plus Fund had
approximately $39.7 million in total remaining assets. The Reserve stated that the funds Board of
Trustees has set aside almost the entire amount of the remaining assets to cover potential claims,
fees and expenses. The Company estimates that TD Ameritrade, Inc. clients current positions held
in the Reserve Yield Plus Fund amount to approximately 79% of the fund.
TD Ameritrade, Inc. has received subpoenas and other requests for documents and information from
the SEC and other regulatory authorities regarding TD Ameritrade, Inc.s offering of the Yield Plus
Fund to clients. TD Ameritrade, Inc. is cooperating with the investigations and requests. On
January 27, 2011, TD Ameritrade, Inc. entered into a settlement with the SEC, agreeing to the entry
of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities
11
Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order). In the Order,
the SEC finds that TD Ameritrade, Inc. failed reasonably to supervise its registered
representatives with a view to preventing their violations of Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933 in connection with their offer and sale of the Yield Plus Fund. TD Ameritrade, Inc.
did not admit or deny any of the findings in the Order, and no fine was imposed. Under the
settlement agreement, TD Ameritrade, Inc. agreed to pay $0.012 per share to all eligible current or
former clients that purchased shares of the Yield Plus Fund and continued to own those shares.
Clients that purchased Yield Plus Fund shares through independent registered investment advisors
were not eligible for the payment. In February 2011, the Company paid clients approximately $10
million under the settlement agreement.
The Pennsylvania Securities Commission has filed an administrative order against TD Ameritrade,
Inc. involving the sale of Yield Plus Fund securities to 21 Pennsylvania clients. An
administrative hearing will be held to determine whether there have been violations of certain
provisions of the Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972 and rules thereunder and to determine what,
if any, administrative sanctions should be imposed. TD Ameritrade, Inc. is defending the action.
In November 2008, a purported class action lawsuit was filed with respect to the Yield Plus Fund.
The lawsuit is captioned Ross v. Reserve Management Company, Inc. et al. and is pending in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Ross lawsuit is on behalf of persons who
purchased shares of Reserve Yield Plus Fund. On November 20, 2009, the plaintiffs filed a first
amended complaint naming as defendants the funds advisor, certain of its affiliates and the
Company and certain of its directors, officers and shareholders as alleged control persons. The
complaint alleges claims of violations of the federal securities laws and other claims based on
allegations that false and misleading statements and omissions were made in the Reserve Yield Plus
Fund prospectuses and in other statements regarding the fund. The complaint seeks an unspecified
amount of compensatory damages including interest, attorneys fees, rescission, exemplary damages
and equitable relief. On January 19, 2010, the defendants submitted motions to dismiss the
complaint. The motions are pending.
The Company estimates that its clients current aggregate shortfall, based on the original par
value of their holdings in the Yield Plus Fund, less the value of fund distributions to date and
the value of payments under the Companys SEC settlement, is approximately $37 million. This amount does not take into account any assets remaining
in the fund that may become available for future distributions.
The Company is unable to predict the outcome or the timing of the ultimate resolution of the
Pennsylvania action and the Ross lawsuit, or the potential loss, if any, that may result from these
unresolved matters. However, management believes the outcome of these pending proceedings is not
likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows of the Company.
Other Legal and Regulatory Matters The Company is subject to other lawsuits, arbitrations,
claims and other legal proceedings in connection with its business. Some of these legal actions
include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial
adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters could have a material adverse
effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows or could cause
the Company significant reputational harm. Management believes the Company has adequate legal
defenses with respect to these legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent and the
outcome of these pending proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is
unable to predict the outcome or the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters, or the
potential losses, if any, that may result from these matters.
In the normal course of business, the Company discusses matters with its regulators raised during
regulatory examinations or otherwise subject to their inquiry. These matters could result in
censures, fines, penalties or other sanctions. Management believes the outcome of any resulting
actions will not be material to the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or the timing of the ultimate
resolution of these matters, or the potential fines, penalties or injunctive or other equitable
relief, if any, that may result from these matters.
Income Taxes The Companys federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination by
taxing authorities. Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of
transactions is subject to varying interpretations, amounts reported in the condensed consolidated
financial statements could be significantly changed at a later date upon final determinations by
taxing authorities. The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) has agreed to indemnify the Company for tax
obligations, if any, pertaining to activities of TD Waterhouse Group, Inc. (TD Waterhouse) prior
to the Companys acquisition of TD Waterhouse in January 2006.
General Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, there are various contingencies that
are not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These include the Companys
broker-dealer subsidiaries client activities
12
involving the execution, settlement and financing of
various client securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to credit risk in
the event the clients are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations.
Client securities activities are transacted on either a cash or margin basis. In margin
transactions, the Company extends credit to the client, subject to various regulatory and internal
margin requirements, collateralized by cash and securities in the clients account. In connection
with these activities, the Company also executes and clears client transactions involving the sale
of securities not yet purchased (short sales). Such margin-related transactions may expose the
Company to credit risk in the event a clients assets are not sufficient to fully cover losses that
the client may incur. In the event the client fails to satisfy its obligations, the Company has
the authority to purchase or sell financial instruments in the clients account at prevailing
market prices in order to fulfill the clients obligations. The Company seeks to mitigate the
risks associated with its client securities activities by requiring clients to maintain margin
collateral in compliance with various regulatory and internal guidelines. The Company monitors
required margin levels throughout each trading day and, pursuant to such guidelines, requires
clients to deposit additional collateral, or to reduce positions, when necessary.
The Company loans securities temporarily to other broker-dealers in connection with its
broker-dealer business. The Company receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned.
Increases in securities prices may cause the market value of the securities loaned to exceed the
amount of cash received as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does
not return the loaned securities, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the
securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its client obligations. The Company
mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the market
value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requiring additional cash as collateral when
necessary, and by participating in a risk-sharing program offered through the Options Clearing
Corporation (OCC).
The Company borrows securities temporarily from other broker-dealers in connection with its
broker-dealer business. The Company deposits cash as collateral for the securities borrowed.
Decreases in securities prices may cause the market value of the securities borrowed to fall below
the amount of cash deposited as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions
does not return the cash deposited, the Company may be exposed to the risk of selling the
securities at prevailing market prices. The Company mitigates this risk by requiring credit
approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the collateral values on a daily basis and requiring
collateral to be returned by the counterparties when necessary, and by participating in a
risk-sharing program offered through the OCC.
The Company transacts in reverse repurchase agreements in connection with its broker-dealer
business. The Companys policy is to take possession or control of securities with a market value
in excess of the principal amount loaned, plus accrued interest, in order to collateralize resale
agreements. The Company monitors the market value of the underlying securities that collateralize
the related receivable on resale agreements on a daily basis and may require additional collateral
when deemed appropriate.
As of March 31, 2011, client excess margin securities of approximately $12.9 billion and stock
borrowings of approximately $0.8 billion were available to the Company to utilize as
collateral on various borrowings or for other purposes. The Company had loaned approximately $2.1
billion and repledged approximately $1.2 billion of that collateral as of March 31, 2011.
Guarantees The Company is a member of and provides guarantees to securities clearinghouses and
exchanges. Under related agreements, the Company is generally required to guarantee the
performance of other members. Under these agreements, if a member becomes unable to satisfy its
obligations to the clearinghouse, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. The
Companys liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and could exceed the cash and
securities it has posted to the clearinghouse as collateral. However, the potential for the
Company to be required to make payments under these agreements is considered remote. Accordingly,
no contingent liability is carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these
guarantees.
See Insured Deposit Account Agreement in Note 12 for a description of a guarantee included in
that agreement.
Employment Agreements The Company has entered into employment agreements with several of its key
executive officers. These employment agreements generally provide for annual base salary and
incentive compensation, stock award acceleration and severance payments in the event of termination
of employment under certain defined circumstances or changes in control of the Company. Incentive
compensation amounts are based on the Companys financial performance and other factors.

8. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines
fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an
exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches, including market, income
and/or cost approaches. ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value
that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by
requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs reflect the
assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on
market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the
Companys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value
into three broad levels, as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. This category includes active
exchange-traded funds, mutual funds and equity securities. |
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Such inputs include quoted prices
in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and
inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by
correlation or other means. This category includes most debt securities and other
interest-sensitive financial instruments. |
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, where there is little, if
any, observable market activity or data for the asset or liability. This category includes
assets and liabilities related to money market and other mutual funds managed by The
Reserve for which the net asset value has declined below $1.00 per share and the funds are
being liquidated. This category also includes auction rate securities for which the
periodic auctions have failed. |

Valuation Techniques
In general, and where applicable, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities to determine fair value. This pricing methodology applies to the Companys
Level 1 assets and liabilities. If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities are not available to determine fair value, then the Company uses quoted prices for
similar assets and liabilities or inputs other than the quoted prices that are observable, either
directly or indirectly. This pricing methodology applies to the Companys Level 2 assets and
liabilities.
Level 2 Measurements:
Debt Securities The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or
similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit
spreads.
Interest Rate Swaps These derivatives are valued using a model that incorporates interest rate
yield curves, which are observable for substantially the full term of the contract. The valuation
model is widely accepted in the financial services industry and does not involve significant
judgment because most of the inputs are observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 Measurements:
Money Market and Other Mutual Funds The fair value of positions in money market and other mutual
funds managed by The Reserve is estimated by management based on the underlying portfolio holdings
data published by The Reserve.
Auction Rate Securities (ARS) ARS are long-term variable rate securities tied to short-term
interest rates that are reset through a Dutch auction process, which generally occurs every seven
to 35 days. Holders of ARS were previously able to liquidate their holdings to prospective buyers
by participating in the auctions. During fiscal 2008, the Dutch auction process failed and holders
were no longer able to liquidate their holdings through the auction process. The fair value of
Company ARS holdings is estimated based on an internal pricing model. The pricing model takes into
consideration the characteristics of the underlying securities as well as multiple inputs,
including counterparty credit quality, expected timing of redemptions and an estimated yield
premium that a market participant would require over otherwise comparable securities to compensate
for the illiquidity of the ARS. These inputs require significant management judgment.
Fair Value of Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2011, the Companys Senior Notes had an aggregate estimated fair value, based on
quoted market prices, of approximately $1.31 billion, compared to the aggregate carrying value of
the Senior Notes on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $1.28 billion. As of September 30,
2010, the Companys Senior Notes had an aggregate estimated fair value, based on quoted market
prices, of approximately $1.34 billion, compared to the aggregate carrying value of the Senior
Notes on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $1.30 billion.

effect a structured repurchase of up to 12 million shares of its common stock. The Company entered
into this structured stock repurchase agreement in order to lower the average cost of acquiring
shares of its common stock. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company prepaid $169.2 million
to the counterparty, which was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital on the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Settlement of the transaction occurred on December 1, 2010
and the Company purchased approximately 3.2 million shares for approximately $50.4 million ($15.94
per share). The number of shares the Company purchased from the counterparty and the purchase
price were based on the average of the daily volume-weighted
average share price of the Companys common stock over the measurement period for the transaction,
less a pre-determined discount. Upon settlement of the transaction, the excess prepayment amount
of $118.8 million was returned to the Company in cash and was recorded as additional paid-in
capital.
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with TD and Affiliates
As a result of the acquisition of TD Waterhouse during fiscal 2006, TD became an affiliate of the
Company. TD owned approximately 43.2% of the Companys common stock as of March 31, 2011.
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement among TD, the Company and certain other stockholders, TD has
the right to designate five of twelve members of the Companys
19
board of directors. The Company
transacts business and has extensive relationships with TD and certain of its affiliates. A
description of significant transactions with TD and its affiliates is set forth below.
Insured Deposit Account Agreement
The Company is party to an insured deposit account (IDA) agreement with TD Bank USA, N.A. (TD
Bank USA), TD Bank, N.A. and TD. Under the IDA agreement, TD Bank USA and TD Bank, N.A.
(together, the Depository Institutions) make available to clients of the Company FDIC-insured
money market deposit accounts as either designated sweep vehicles or as non-sweep deposit accounts.
The Company provides marketing, recordkeeping and support services for the Depository Institutions
with respect to the money market deposit accounts. In exchange for providing these services, the
Depository Institutions pay the Company a fee based on the yield earned on the client IDA assets,
less the actual interest paid to clients, a flat fee to the Depository Institutions of 25 basis
points and the cost of FDIC insurance premiums.
The IDA agreement has a term of five years beginning July 1, 2008, and is automatically renewable
for successive five-year terms, provided that it may be terminated by any party upon two years
prior written notice. The agreement provides that the fee earned on the IDA agreement is
calculated based on three primary components: (a) the actual yield earned on investments in place
as of July 1, 2008, which were primarily fixed-income securities backed by Canadian government
guarantees, (b) the yield on other fixed-rate investments, based on prevailing fixed rates for
identical balances and maturities in the interest rate swap market (generally LIBOR-based) at the
time such investments were added to the IDA portfolio and (c) floating-rate investments, based on
the monthly average rate for 30-day LIBOR. The agreement provides that, from time to time, the
Company may request amounts and maturity dates for the other fixed-rate investments (component (b)
above) in the IDA portfolio, subject to the approval of the Depository Institutions. For the month
of March 2011, the IDA portfolio was comprised of approximately 4% component (a) investments, 89%
component (b) investments and 7% component (c) investments.
In the event the fee computation results in a negative amount, the Company must pay the Depository
Institutions the negative amount. This effectively results in the Company guaranteeing the
Depository Institutions revenue of 25 basis points on the IDA agreement, plus the reimbursement of
FDIC insurance premiums. The fee computation under the IDA agreement is affected by many
variables, including the type, duration, credit quality, principal balance and yield of the
investment portfolio at the Depository Institutions, the prevailing interest rate environment, the
amount of client deposits and the yield paid on client deposits. Because a negative IDA fee
computation would arise only if there were extraordinary movements in many of these variables, the
maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under this
arrangement cannot be reasonably estimated. Management believes the potential for the fee
calculation to result in a negative amount is remote and the fair value of the guarantee is not
material. Accordingly, no contingent liability is carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets for the IDA agreement.
Mutual Fund Agreements
The Company and an affiliate of TD are parties to a sweep fund agreement, transfer agency
agreement, shareholder services agreement and a dealer agreement pursuant to which certain mutual
funds are made available as money market sweep or direct purchase options to Company clients. The
Company performs certain distribution and marketing support services with respect to those funds.
In consideration for offering the funds and performing the distribution and marketing support
services, an affiliate of TD compensates the Company in accordance with the provisions of the sweep
fund agreement. The Company also performs certain services for the applicable fund and earns fees
for those services. The agreement may be terminated by any party upon one years prior written
notice and may be terminated by the Company upon 30 days prior written notice under certain
circumstances.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should
be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data and the Consolidated Financial Statements
and Notes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010, and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained
in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical facts, including
statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words may, could,
would, should, believe, expect, anticipate, plan, estimate, target, project,
intend and similar expressions. In particular, forward-looking statements contained in this
discussion include our expectations regarding: the effect of client trading activity on our
results of operations; the effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest spread; the
effect of our migration of client cash balances into the insured deposit account offering; our
effective income tax rate; and our capital and liquidity needs and our plans to finance such needs.
The Companys actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking
statements. Important factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
general economic and political conditions; fluctuations in
interest rates; stock market fluctuations and changes in client trading activity; credit risk with
clients and counterparties; increased competition; systems failures and capacity constraints;
network security risks; our ability to service debt obligations; our ability to achieve the
benefits of the thinkorswim Group Inc. (thinkorswim) acquisition; new laws and regulations
affecting our business; regulatory and legal matters and uncertainties and the other risks and
uncertainties set forth under Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Companys annual report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The forward-looking statements contained in this
report speak only as of the date on which the statements were made. We undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, except to the extent required by the federal securities laws.
27
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make judgments and estimates that may
have a significant impact upon our financial results. Note 1 of our Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, contains a summary of our
significant accounting policies, many of which require the use of estimates and assumptions. We
believe that the following areas are particularly subject to managements judgments and estimates
and could materially affect our results of operations and financial position: valuation of goodwill
and acquired intangible assets; valuation of stock-based compensation; estimates of effective
income tax rates, deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances; and valuation of
guarantees. These areas are discussed in further detail under the heading Critical Accounting
Policies and Estimates in Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010.
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms we, us, our or Company in this report refer to TD
Ameritrade Holding Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The term GAAP refers to U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
In discussing and analyzing our business, we utilize several metrics and other terms that are
defined in a Glossary of Terms that is available on our website at www.amtd.com (in the Investors
section under the heading Financial Reports) and is included in Item 7 of our annual report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. Since the issuance of our Form 10-K, the
definition of Liquid assets has been renamed Liquid assets regulatory threshold and Liquid
assets management target was added as a new metric. We consider our liquid assets metrics to
be important measures of our liquidity. Liquid assets management target reflects our liquidity
that would be readily available for corporate investing and financing activities under normal
operating circumstances, while liquid assets regulatory threshold reflects our liquidity that
would be available under unusual operating circumstances. In addition to the updated liquid assets
metrics, we added Average client trades per funded account (annualized) as a new metric. The
updated definitions are as follows (italics within a definition indicate other defined terms that
appear elsewhere in the Glossary):
Average client trades per funded account (annualized) Total trades divided by the average number
of funded accounts during the period, annualized based on the number of trading days in the fiscal
year.
Liquid assets management target Liquid assets management target is a non-GAAP financial
measure. We define liquid assets management target as the sum of (a) corporate cash and cash
equivalents, (b) corporate short-term investments and (c) regulatory net capital of (i) our
clearing broker-dealer subsidiary in excess of 10% of aggregate debit items and (ii) our
introducing broker-dealer subsidiaries in excess of a minimum operational target established by
management ($50 million in the case of our primary introducing broker-dealer, TD Ameritrade, Inc.).
We include the excess capital of our broker-dealer subsidiaries in liquid assets management
target, rather than simply including broker-dealer cash and cash equivalents, because capital
requirements may limit the amount of cash available for dividend from the broker-dealer
subsidiaries to the parent company. Excess capital, as defined under clause (c) above, is
generally available for dividend from the broker-dealer subsidiaries to the parent company. We
consider liquid assets management target to be a measure that reflects our liquidity that would
be readily available for corporate investing and financing activities under normal operating
circumstances. Liquid assets regulatory threshold is a related metric that reflects our
liquidity that would be available for corporate investing and financing activities under unusual
operating circumstances. Our liquid assets metrics should be considered as supplemental measures
of liquidity, rather than as substitutes for cash and cash equivalents.
Liquid assets regulatory threshold Liquid assets regulatory threshold is a non-GAAP
financial measure. We define liquid assets regulatory threshold as the sum of (a) corporate cash
and cash equivalents, (b) corporate short-term investments, (c) regulatory net capital of (i) our
clearing broker-dealer subsidiary in excess of 5% of aggregate debit items and (ii) our introducing
broker-dealer subsidiaries in excess of 120% of the minimum dollar net capital requirement or in
excess of 8 1/3% of aggregate indebtedness and (d) Tier 1 capital of our trust company in excess of
the minimum dollar requirement. We include the excess capital of our broker-dealer and trust
company subsidiaries in liquid assets regulatory threshold, rather than simply including
broker-dealer and trust company cash and cash equivalents, because capital requirements may limit
the amount of
cash available for dividend from the broker-dealer and trust company subsidiaries to the parent
company. Excess capital, as defined under clauses (c) and (d) above, is generally available for
dividend from the broker-dealer and trust company subsidiaries to the parent company. We consider
liquid assets regulatory threshold to be a measure that reflects our liquidity that would be
available for corporate investing and financing activities under unusual operating circumstances.
Liquid assets management target is a related metric that reflects our liquidity that would be

circumstances. Our liquid assets metrics should be considered as supplemental measures of
liquidity, rather than as substitutes for cash and cash equivalents.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Conditions in the U.S. equity markets significantly impact the volume of our clients trading
activity. There is a direct correlation between the volume of our clients trading activity and
our results of operations. We cannot predict future trading volumes in the U.S. equity markets.
If client trading activity increases, we expect that it would have a positive impact on our results
of operations. If client trading activity declines, we expect that it would have a negative impact
on our results of operations.
Changes in average balances, especially client margin, credit, insured deposit account and mutual
fund balances, may significantly impact our results of operations. Changes in interest rates also
significantly impact our results of operations. We seek to mitigate interest rate risk by aligning
the average duration of our interest-earning assets with that of our interest-bearing liabilities.
We cannot predict the direction of interest rates or the levels of client balances. If interest
rates rise, we generally expect to earn a larger net interest spread. Conversely, a falling
interest rate environment generally would result in our earning a smaller net interest spread.
Financial Performance Metrics
Pre-tax income, net income, earnings per share and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization) are key metrics we use in evaluating our financial performance.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.
We consider EBITDA an important measure of our financial performance and of our ability to generate
cash flows to service debt, fund capital expenditures and fund other corporate investing and
financing activities. EBITDA is used as the denominator in the consolidated leverage ratio
calculation for covenant purposes under our revolving credit facility. EBITDA eliminates the
non-cash effect of tangible asset depreciation and amortization and intangible asset amortization.
EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income, net
income and cash flows from operating activities.
The following table sets forth EBITDA in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues for the
periods indicated and provides reconciliations to net income, which is the most directly comparable
GAAP measure (dollars in thousands):

Our EBITDA increased for the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to the first half of fiscal
2010 primarily due to a 9% increase in net revenues and the effect of an $8.4 million loss on debt
refinancing during the first half of fiscal 2010, partially offset by an 8% increase in total
operating expenses. The increase in net revenues was due primarily to growth in average
spread-based and other fee-based investment balances and a 7% increase in average client trades per
day, partially offset by lower net interest margin earned on the spread-based balances and lower
average commissions and transaction fees per trade. The increase in total operating expenses was
due primarily to increases in employee compensation and benefits, advertising and professional
services expenses. Detailed analysis of net revenues and operating expenses is presented later in
this discussion.
Operating Metrics
Our largest sources of revenues are asset-based revenues and transaction-based revenues. For the
six months ended March 31, 2011, asset-based revenues and transaction-based revenues accounted for
50% and 46% of our net revenues, respectively. Asset-based revenues consist of (1) net interest
revenue, (2) insured deposit account fees and (3) investment product fees. The primary factors
driving our asset-based revenues are average balances and average rates. Average balances consist
primarily of average client margin balances, average segregated cash balances, average client
credit balances, average client insured deposit account balances, average fee-based investment
balances and average securities borrowing and lending balances. Average rates consist of the
average interest rates and fees earned and paid on such balances. The primary factors driving our
29
transaction-based revenues are total client trades and average commissions and transaction fees per
trade. We also consider client account and client asset metrics, although we believe they are
generally of less significance to our results of operations for any particular period than our
metrics for asset-based and transaction-based revenues.
Asset-Based Revenue Metrics
We calculate the return on our interest-earning assets (excluding conduit-based assets) and our
insured deposit account balances using a measure we refer to as net interest margin. Net interest
margin is calculated for a given period by dividing the annualized sum of net interest revenue
(excluding net interest revenue from conduit-based assets) and insured deposit account fees by
average spread-based assets. Spread-based assets consist of client and brokerage-related asset
balances, including client margin balances, segregated cash, insured deposit account balances,
deposits paid on securities borrowing (excluding conduit-based assets) and other cash and
interest-earning investment balances. The following table sets forth net interest margin and
average spread-based assets (dollars in millions):

Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
Net Revenues
Commissions and transaction fees increased 12% to $338.3 million, primarily due to increased client
trading activity, partially offset by lower average commissions and transaction fees per trade.
Total trades increased 18%, as average client trades per day increased 16% to 439,158 for the
second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 378,714 for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, and there
was one more trading day during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 2010. Average client trades per funded account (annualized) were 20.1 for the second
quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 17.8 for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Average commissions
and transaction fees per trade decreased to $12.42 per trade for the second quarter of fiscal 2011
from $13.04 for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, primarily due to the mix of client trading
activity and lower payment for order flow revenue per trade during the second quarter of fiscal
2011.
Net interest revenue increased 22% to $121.6 million, due primarily to a 33% increase in average
client margin balances, partially offset by a decrease of 22 basis points in the average yield
earned on client margin balances for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 2010.
Insured deposit account fees increased 10% to $187.5 million, due primarily to a 19% increase in
average client insured deposit account balances during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared
to the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The increased insured deposit account balances are partly
due to our success in attracting net new client assets over the past year and partly due to our
strategy of migrating client cash held in client credit balances or swept to money market mutual
funds to the insured deposit account offering. We began migrating client cash in April 2009 and
completed the program in January 2010. We expect our migration strategy to position the Company to
earn higher net revenues, as we generally earn a higher yield on insured deposit account balances
than on money market mutual fund or client credit balances. The effect of the increased insured
deposit account balances was partially offset by a decrease of 13 basis points in the average yield
earned on the insured deposit account assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to
the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
Investment product fees increased 33% to $40.4 million, primarily due to a 39% increase in average
other fee-based investment balances and an increase of 5 basis points in the average yield earned
on client money market mutual fund balances, partially offset by a decrease of 1 basis point in the
average yield earned on other fee-based investment balances in the second quarter of fiscal 2011
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
Other revenues decreased 10% to $30.4 million, due primarily to lower client education revenues for
the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
Operating Expenses
Employee compensation and benefits expense increased 3% to $169.7 million, primarily due to
increased severance costs related to the departure of our chief operating officer and higher
incentive-based compensation related to Company and individual performance, including our continued
success in attracting net new client assets, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the
second quarter of fiscal 2010. The average number of full-time equivalent employees was 5,319 for
the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 5,295 for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
Communications expense increased 13% to $27.8 million, due primarily to increased costs for quotes
and market information during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 2010.
Depreciation and amortization increased 23% to $16.6 million, due primarily to depreciation on
recent technology infrastructure upgrades and leasehold improvements.
Professional services increased 27% to $40.1 million, primarily due to higher usage of consulting
and contract services during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 2010 in connection with new product development, technology infrastructure upgrades and the
integration of thinkorswim.
Advertising expense increased 14% to $81.4 million, primarily due to the timing of more marketing
campaigns earlier in the year during fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. We generally adjust our
level of advertising spending in relation to stock market activity and other market conditions in
an effort to maximize the number of new accounts while minimizing the advertising cost per new
account.
34
Other operating expenses decreased 16% to $17.5 million, primarily due to decreased litigation and
arbitration expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the second quarter of fiscal
2010.
Other Expenses and Income Taxes
Interest on borrowings decreased 32% to $7.5 million, due primarily to lower average interest rates
incurred on our debt during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 2010. The average interest rate incurred on our debt was 2.11% for the second quarter of
fiscal 2011, compared to 3.11% for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. On January 7, 2011, we
entered into a fixed-for-variable interest rate swap on our $500 million 5.600% Senior Notes due
2019. We will incur variable interest under this interest rate swap at a rate equal to three-month
LIBOR plus 2.3745%, or approximately 2.69% as of March 31, 2011. The entire $1.25 billion of our
Senior Notes is now subject to interest rate swaps based on three-month LIBOR.
Our effective income tax rate was 37.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to 24.9%
for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal
2010 was unusually low due to $27.5 million of favorable resolutions of certain federal and state
income tax matters during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. These items favorably impacted our
earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 by approximately $0.05 per share. We expect our
effective income tax rate to range from 38% to 39% for the remainder of fiscal 2011. However, we
expect to experience some volatility in our quarterly and annual effective income tax rate because
current accounting rules for uncertain tax positions require that any change in measurement of a
tax position taken in a prior tax year be recognized as a discrete event in the period in which the
change occurs.
Six-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
Net Revenues
Commissions and transaction fees increased 3% to $631.0 million, primarily due to increased client
trading activity, partially offset by lower average commissions and transaction fees per trade.
Total trades increased 8%, as average client trades per day increased 7% to 405,135 for the first
half of fiscal 2011 compared to 378,636 for the first half of fiscal 2010, and there were 1.5 more
trading days during the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to the first half of fiscal 2010.
Average client trades per funded account (annualized) were 18.6 for the first half of fiscal 2011
compared to 17.8 for the first half of fiscal 2010. Average commissions and transaction fees per
trade decreased to $12.41 per trade for the first half of fiscal 2011 from $13.01 for the first
half of fiscal 2010, primarily due to the mix of client trading activity and lower payment for
order flow revenue per trade during the first half of fiscal 2011.
Net interest revenue increased 19% to $237.1 million, due primarily to a 33% increase in average
client margin balances, partially offset by a decrease of 28 basis points in the average yield
earned on client margin balances for the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to the first half of
fiscal 2010.
Insured deposit account fees increased 12% to $365.9 million, due primarily to a 27% increase in
average client insured deposit account balances during the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to
the first half of fiscal 2010. The increased insured deposit account balances are partly due to
our success in attracting net new client assets over the past year and partly due to our strategy
of migrating client cash held in client credit balances or swept to money market mutual funds to
the insured deposit account offering. We began migrating client cash in April 2009 and completed
the program in January 2010. The effect of the increased insured deposit account balances was
partially offset by a decrease of 21 basis points in the average yield earned on the insured
deposit account assets during the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to the first half of fiscal
2010.
Investment product fees increased 36% to $81.1 million, primarily due to a 38% increase in average
other fee-based investment balances and an increase of 6 basis points in the average yield earned
on client money market mutual fund balances, partially
offset by a decrease of 1 basis point in the average yield earned on other fee-based investment
balances and an 18% decrease in average client money market mutual fund balances in the first half
of fiscal 2011 compared to the first half of fiscal 2010. The decrease in average money market
mutual fund balances resulted primarily from our client cash migration strategy discussed above.
Other revenues decreased 9% to $59.2 million, due primarily to lower client education revenues for
the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to the first half of fiscal 2010.
35
Operating Expenses
Employee compensation and benefits expense increased 7% to $332.1 million, primarily due to higher
incentive-based compensation related to Company and individual performance, including our continued
success in attracting net new client assets, and increased severance costs related to the departure
of our chief operating officer in the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to the first half of
fiscal 2010. The average number of full-time equivalent employees was 5,288 for the first half of
fiscal 2011 compared to 5,262 for the first half of fiscal 2010.
Clearing and execution costs increased 6% to $48.9 million, due primarily to an increase in
outsourced clearing fees for our thinkorswim business in the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to
the first half of fiscal 2010.
Communications expense increased 11% to $54.7 million, due primarily to increased costs for quotes
and market information during the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to the first half of fiscal
2010.
Depreciation and amortization increased 21% to $32.7 million, due primarily to depreciation on
recent technology infrastructure upgrades and leasehold improvements.
Professional services increased 23% to $80.4 million, primarily due to higher usage of consulting
and contract services during the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to the first half of fiscal
2010 in connection with new product development, technology infrastructure upgrades and the
integration of thinkorswim.
Advertising expense increased 14% to $156.0 million, primarily due to the timing of more marketing
campaigns earlier in the year during fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010.
Other operating expenses decreased 8% to $35.6 million, primarily due to decreased litigation and
arbitration expenses in the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to the first half of fiscal 2010.
Other Expenses and Income Taxes
Interest on borrowings decreased 19% to $18.3 million, due primarily to lower average interest
rates incurred on our debt and a decrease of approximately $59 million in average debt outstanding
during the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to the first half of fiscal 2010. The average
interest rate incurred on our debt was 2.61% for the first half of fiscal 2011, compared to 3.02%
for the first half of fiscal 2010. The lower average interest rate incurred on our debt during the
first half of fiscal 2011 was due to the effect of the fixed-for-variable interest rate swaps on
our Senior Notes entered into during fiscal 2010 and 2011.
Loss on debt refinancing of $8.4 million during the first half of fiscal 2010 consisted of a charge
to write off the unamortized balance of debt issuance costs associated with the Term A and Term B
credit facilities under our January 23, 2006 credit agreement. On November 25, 2009, we refinanced
our long-term debt by issuing the Senior Notes and used the proceeds from the issuance of the
Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, to repay in full the outstanding principal under our
January 23, 2006 credit agreement.
Our effective income tax rate was 36.5% for the first half of fiscal 2011, compared to 31.6% for
the first half of fiscal 2010. The effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2011 was
somewhat lower than normal due to $5.4 million of favorable resolutions of state income tax matters
and $1.4 million of favorable deferred income tax adjustments resulting from recent state income
tax law changes. These items favorably impacted the Companys earnings for the first half of
fiscal 2011 by approximately $0.01 per share. The effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal
2010 was unusually low due to $28.8 million of favorable resolutions of certain federal and state
income tax matters during the first half of fiscal 2010. These items favorably impacted our
earnings for the first half of fiscal 2010 by approximately $0.05 per share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have historically financed our liquidity and capital needs primarily through the use of funds
generated from operations and from borrowings under our credit agreements. We have also issued
common stock and long-term debt to finance mergers and acquisitions and for other corporate
purposes. Our liquidity needs during the first half of fiscal 2011 were financed primarily from
our earnings and cash on hand. We plan to finance our operational capital and liquidity needs
during the remainder of fiscal 2011 primarily from our earnings, cash on hand and, if necessary,
borrowings on our parent company and broker-dealer credit facilities.
36
Dividends from our subsidiaries are a source of liquidity for the parent company. Some of our
subsidiaries are subject to requirements of the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(FINRA), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the National Futures Association
(NFA) and other regulators relating to liquidity, capital standards and the use of client funds
and securities, which may limit funds available for the payment of dividends to the parent company.
Under the SECs Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934),
our broker-dealer subsidiaries are required to maintain, at all times, at least the minimum level
of net capital required under Rule 15c3-1. For clearing broker-dealers, this minimum net capital
level is determined by a calculation described in Rule 15c3-1 that is primarily based on each
broker-dealers aggregate debits, which primarily are a function of client margin balances at our
clearing broker-dealer subsidiary. Since our aggregate debits may fluctuate significantly, our
minimum net capital requirements may also fluctuate significantly from period to period. The
parent company may make cash capital contributions to broker-dealer subsidiaries, if necessary, to
meet minimum net capital requirements.
Liquid Assets
We consider our liquid assets metrics to be important measures of our liquidity and of our ability
to fund corporate investing and financing activities. Our liquid assets metrics are considered
non-GAAP financial measures. We include the excess capital of our broker-dealer and trust company
subsidiaries in the calculation of our liquid assets metrics, rather than simply including
broker-dealer and trust company cash and cash equivalents, because capital requirements may limit
the amount of cash available for dividend from the broker-dealer and trust company subsidiaries to
the parent company. Excess capital, as defined below, is generally available for dividend from the
broker-dealer and trust company subsidiaries to the parent company. The liquid assets metrics
should be considered as supplemental measures of liquidity, rather than as substitutes for cash and
cash equivalents.
We define liquid assets management target as the sum of (a) corporate cash and cash equivalents,
(b) corporate short-term investments and (c) regulatory net capital of (i) our clearing
broker-dealer subsidiary in excess of 10% of aggregate debit items and (ii) our introducing
broker-dealer subsidiaries in excess of a minimum operational target established by management ($50
million in the case of our primary introducing broker-dealer, TD Ameritrade, Inc.). We consider
liquid assets management target to be a measure that reflects our liquidity that would be readily
available for corporate investing or financing activities under normal operating circumstances.
We define liquid assets regulatory threshold as the sum of (a) corporate cash and cash
equivalents, (b) corporate short-term investments, (c) regulatory net capital of (i) our clearing
broker-dealer subsidiary in excess of 5% of aggregate debit items and (ii) our introducing
broker-dealer subsidiaries in excess of 120% of the minimum dollar net capital requirement or in
excess of 8 1/3% of aggregate indebtedness and (d) Tier 1 capital of our trust company in excess of
the minimum dollar requirement. We consider liquid assets regulatory threshold to be a measure
that reflects our liquidity that would be available for corporate investing or financing activities
under unusual operating circumstances.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents, which is the most
directly comparable GAAP measure, to our liquid assets metrics (dollars in thousands):

Stock Repurchase Programs
On August 5, 2010, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 30 million shares of
our common stock. On August 20, 2010, we entered into an agreement with an investment bank
counterparty to effect a structured repurchase of up to 12 million shares of our common stock.
Under the terms of this agreement, we prepaid $169.2 million to the counterparty. Settlement of
the transaction occurred on December 1, 2010 and we purchased approximately 3.2 million shares for
approximately $50.4 million ($15.94 per share). The number of shares we purchased from the
counterparty and the purchase price were based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average
share price of our common stock over the measurement period for the transaction, less a
pre-determined discount. Upon settlement of this transaction, the excess prepayment amount of
$118.8 million was returned to us in cash.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we made open market repurchases of approximately 2.0
million shares at a weighted average purchase price of $21.03 per share. From the inception of the
stock repurchase authorization through March 31, 2011, we have repurchased an aggregate of
approximately 5.2 million shares at a weighted average purchase price of $17.94 per share. As of
March 31, 2011, we had approximately 24.8 million shares remaining on the stock repurchase
authorization.
Cash Dividends
Our board of directors declared a $0.05 per share quarterly cash dividend on our common stock
during each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2011. We paid a total of $57.4 million to fund
the first and second quarter dividends. We expect to pay approximately $29 million on May 17, 2011
to fund the third quarter dividend.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We enter into guarantees and other off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of
business, primarily to meet the needs of our clients and manage our asset-based revenues. For
information on these arrangements, see the following sections under Item 1, Financial Statements
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: Guarantees under Note 7 COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES and Insured Deposit Account Agreement under Note 12 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.
The IDA agreement accounts for a significant percentage of our revenues (27% of our net revenues
for the six months ended March 31, 2011) and enables our clients to invest in an FDIC-insured
deposit product without the need for the Company to maintain a bank charter.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk generally represents the risk of loss that may result from the potential change in the
value of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in interest rates and market prices. We
have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market
risks in the normal course of our business operations.
Market-related Credit Risk
Two primary sources of credit risk inherent in our business are client margin lending and
securities lending and borrowing. We manage risk on client margin lending by requiring clients to
maintain margin collateral in compliance with regulatory and internal guidelines. We monitor
required margin levels daily and, pursuant to such guidelines, require our clients to deposit
additional collateral, or to reduce positions, when necessary. We continuously monitor client
accounts to detect excessive concentration, large orders or positions, patterns of day trading and
other activities that indicate increased risk to us. We manage risks associated with our
securities lending and borrowing activities by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by
monitoring the market value of securities loaned and collateral values for securities borrowed on a
daily basis and requiring additional cash as collateral for securities loaned or return of
collateral for securities borrowed when necessary and by participating in a risk-sharing program
offered through the Options Clearing Corporation.
The interest rate swaps on our Senior Notes are subject to counterparty credit risk. Credit risk
on derivative financial instruments is managed by limiting activity to approved counterparties that
meet a minimum credit rating threshold and by entering into credit support agreements. The
bilateral credit support agreements related to the interest rate swaps require daily collateral
coverage, in the form of cash or U.S. Treasury securities, for the aggregate fair value of the
interest rate swaps.
Interest Rate Risk
As a fundamental part of our brokerage business, we invest in interest-earning assets and are
obligated on interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, we earn fees on our insured deposit
account arrangement with TD Bank USA, N.A. and TD Bank, N.A. and on money market mutual funds,
which are subject to interest rate risk. Changes in interest rates could affect the interest earned
on assets differently than interest paid on liabilities. A rising interest rate environment
generally results in our earning a larger net interest spread. Conversely, a falling interest rate
environment generally results in our earning a smaller net interest spread.
Our most prevalent form of interest rate risk is referred to as gap risk. This risk occurs when
the interest rates we earn on our assets change at a different frequency or amount than the
interest rates we pay on our liabilities. We have an Asset/Liability Committee as the governance
body with the responsibility of managing interest rate risk, including gap risk.
We use net interest simulation modeling techniques to evaluate the effect that changes in interest
rates might have on pre-tax income. Our model includes all interest-sensitive assets and
liabilities of the Company and interest-sensitive assets and liabilities associated with the
insured deposit account arrangement. The simulations involve assumptions that are inherently
uncertain and, as a result, cannot precisely predict the impact that changes in interest rates will
have on pre-tax income. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to differences in
timing and frequency of rate changes, changes in market conditions and changes in management
strategy that lead to changes in the mix of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities.
The simulations assume that the asset and liability structure of our Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet and the insured deposit account arrangement would not be changed as a result of a simulated
change in interest rates. The results of the simulations based on our financial position as of
March 31, 2011 indicate that a gradual 1% (100 basis points) increase in interest rates over a
12-month period would result in approximately $109 million higher pre-tax income, while a gradual
1% (100 basis points) decrease in interest rates over a 12-month period would result in
approximately $39 million lower pre-tax income. The results of the simulations reflect the fact
that short-term interest rates remain at historically low levels, including the federal funds
target rate, which is currently a range of zero to 0.25%.
Market Risk on Auction Rate Securities
As of March 31, 2011, we held ARS with a fair value of $109 million. A hypothetical 10% decrease
in the fair value of our ARS would reduce our pre-tax income by approximately $11 million.
Other Market Risks
Our revenues and financial instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars. We generally do not enter
into derivative transactions, except for hedging purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,
2011. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the
most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Part II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Spam Litigation A purported class action, captioned Elvey v. TD Ameritrade, Inc., was filed on
May 31, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The
complaint alleges that there was a breach in TD Ameritrade, Inc.s systems, which allowed access to
e-mail addresses and other personal information of account holders, and that as a result account
holders received unsolicited e-mail from spammers promoting certain stocks and have been subjected
to an increased risk of identity theft. The complaint requests unspecified damages and injunctive
and other equitable relief. A second lawsuit, captioned Zigler v. TD Ameritrade, Inc., was filed
on September 26, 2007, in the same jurisdiction on behalf of a purported nationwide class of
account holders. The factual allegations of the complaint and the relief sought are substantially
the same as those in the first lawsuit. The cases were consolidated under the caption In re TD
Ameritrade Accountholders Litigation and a consolidated complaint was filed. The Company hired an
independent consultant to investigate whether identity theft occurred as a result of the breach.
The consultant conducted four investigations from August 2007 to June 2008 and reported that it
found no evidence of identity theft. On December 20, 2010, TD Ameritrade, Inc. received
preliminary Court approval of a proposed class settlement agreement between TD Ameritrade, Inc. and
plaintiffs Richard Holober and Brad Zigler. Under the proposed settlement, the Company will pay no
less than $2.5 million in settlement benefits. Total compensation to be paid to all eligible
members of the settlement class will not exceed $6.5 million, inclusive of any award of attorneys
fees and costs. In addition, the settlement agreement provides that the Company will retain an
independent information technology security consultant to assess whether the Company has met
certain information technology security standards. The proposed settlement is subject to final
approval by the Court. A hearing on final approval of the proposed settlement was held on April
19, 2011. The Court has not yet ruled on the matter.
Reserve Fund Matters During September 2008, The Reserve, an independent mutual fund company,
announced that the net asset value of the Reserve Yield Plus Fund declined below $1.00 per share.
The Yield Plus Fund was not a money market mutual fund, but its stated objective was to maintain a
net asset value of $1.00 per share. TD Ameritrade, Inc.s clients continue to hold shares in the
Yield Plus Fund (now known as Yield Plus Fund In Liquidation), which is being liquidated. On
July
23, 2010, The Reserve announced that through that date it had distributed approximately 94.8% of
the Yield Plus Fund assets as of September 15, 2008 and that the Yield Plus Fund had approximately
$39.7 million in total remaining assets. The Reserve stated that the funds Board of Trustees has
set aside almost the entire amount of the remaining assets to cover potential claims, fees and
expenses. The Company estimates that TD Ameritrade, Inc. clients current positions held in the
Reserve Yield Plus Fund amount to approximately 79% of the fund.
TD Ameritrade, Inc. has received subpoenas and other requests for documents and information from
the SEC and other regulatory authorities regarding TD Ameritrade, Inc.s offering of the Yield Plus
Fund to clients. TD Ameritrade, Inc. is cooperating with the investigations and requests. On
January 27, 2011, TD Ameritrade, Inc. entered into a settlement with the SEC, agreeing to the entry
of an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order). In the Order,
the SEC finds that TD Ameritrade, Inc. failed reasonably to supervise its registered
representatives with a view to preventing their violations of Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933 in connection with their offer and sale of the Yield Plus Fund. TD Ameritrade, Inc.
did not admit or deny any of the findings in the Order, and no fine was imposed. Under the
settlement agreement, TD Ameritrade, Inc. agreed to pay $0.012 per share to all eligible current or
former clients that purchased shares of the Yield Plus Fund and continued to own those shares.
Clients that purchased Yield Plus Fund shares through independent registered investment advisors
were not eligible for the payment. In February 2011, the Company paid clients approximately $10
million under the settlement agreement.
40
The Pennsylvania Securities Commission has filed an administrative order against TD Ameritrade,
Inc. involving the sale of Yield Plus Fund securities to 21 Pennsylvania clients. An
administrative hearing will be held to determine whether there have been violations of certain
provisions of the Pennsylvania Securities Act of 1972 and rules thereunder and to determine what,
if any, administrative sanctions should be imposed. TD Ameritrade, Inc. is defending the action.
In November 2008, a purported class action lawsuit was filed with respect to the Yield Plus Fund.
The lawsuit is captioned Ross v. Reserve Management Company, Inc. et al. and is pending in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Ross lawsuit is on behalf of persons who
purchased shares of Reserve Yield Plus Fund. On November 20, 2009, the plaintiffs filed a first
amended complaint naming as defendants the funds advisor, certain of its affiliates and the
Company and certain of its directors, officers and shareholders as alleged control persons. The
complaint alleges claims of violations of the federal securities laws and other claims based on
allegations that false and misleading statements and omissions were made in the Reserve Yield Plus
Fund prospectuses and in other statements regarding the fund. The complaint seeks an unspecified
amount of compensatory damages including interest, attorneys fees, rescission, exemplary damages
and equitable relief. On January 19, 2010, the defendants submitted motions to dismiss the
complaint. The motions are pending.
The Company estimates that its clients current aggregate shortfall, based on the original par
value of their holdings in the Yield Plus Fund, less the value of fund distributions to date and
the value of payments under the Companys SEC settlement, is approximately $37 million. This amount does not take into account any assets remaining in the fund
that may become available for future distributions.
The Company is unable to predict the outcome or the timing of the ultimate resolution of the
Pennsylvania action and the Ross lawsuit, or the potential loss, if any, that may result from these
unresolved matters. However, management believes the outcome of these pending proceedings is not
likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows of the Company.
Other Legal and Regulatory Matters The Company is subject to other lawsuits, arbitrations,
claims and other legal proceedings in connection with its business. Some of these legal actions
include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial
adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters could have a material adverse
effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows or could cause
the Company significant reputational harm. Management believes the Company has adequate legal
defenses with respect to these legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent and the
outcome of these pending proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is
unable to predict the outcome or the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters, or the
potential losses, if any, that may result from these matters.
In the normal course of business, the Company discusses matters with its regulators raised during
regulatory examinations or otherwise subject to their inquiry. These matters could result in
censures, fines, penalties or other sanctions. Management believes the outcome of any resulting
actions will not be material to the Companys financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or the timing of the ultimate
resolution of these matters, or the potential fines, penalties or injunctive or other equitable
relief, if any, that may result from these matters.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider
the factors discussed under Item 1A Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended September 30, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or
future results of operations. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks facing
us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be
immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Companys Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
