"Our second quarter revenues were the best since the company went public. Our results were driven by continued revenue growth and earnings improvement both on a year over year and sequential basis in our capital markets businesses - institutional brokerage and investment banking - as well as asset management," said Manny Friedman, Chairman and Co-CEO. By business unit, the company reported institutional brokerage revenues for the quarter of $18.3 million, a 62% increase over the same quarter a year ago.

"FBR is strongly positioned to address changing conditions in the U.S. capital markets, for instance, utilizing 144A institutional offerings for equity as well as debt, and providing advisory services even if public investment banking opportunities become more limited near term. Our institutional brokerage and asset management businesses continue to grow, adding stability to our revenue stream. The combination of over $218 million in equity and only $6 million of long-term debt as well as a lean and talented workforce, allows us to pursue opportunities even in difficult markets. For example, we are currently contemplating opening a San Francisco office." In institutional brokerage, FBR's institutional research group expanded coverage within two established verticals.
