The bank said operating expenses for the quarter were $9.45 billion, up 14% from a year earlier, driven by higher compensation and benefits, transaction-based costs, charitable contributions, and net provisions for litigation and regulatory matters.
Goldman reported Q3 earnings of $12.25 per diluted share, up from $8.40 a year earlier.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected $11.03.
