"We had an outstanding start to the year, with strong bottom line results fueled by business growth, capital deployment, and a favorable operating environment," said Karl Roessner, chief executive officer. "Amidst a period of extraordinary and intensifying competition, we produced record growth in brokerage assets, and our strongest brokerage account growth in three years well on pace to exceed our 2018 goals. Meanwhile, we continued to put capital to work for shareholders, onboarding deposits and taking advantage of the strong rate environment to outpace our balance sheet growth targets. While immensely gratifying to see the early benefits of our hard work to grow the business, we will not rest on our laurels. Specifically, we will remain steadfast in the integration of OptionsHouse to deliver a blockbuster customer experience, capitalize on our new creative agency to reinvigorate our iconic brand, and keep our team focused on continuing to deliver value for our customers and our shareholders."
