Colin Heffron, Chief Executive Officer commented: "We are pleased with our first quarter results that show we are successfully transforming and strengthening GFI's core execution business by providing end-to-end trading solutions. These solutions include multiple trade execution protocols with connectivity to customers, clearinghouses, data repositories and post-trade service providers in multiple asset classes. We believe that our proprietary trading technology and comprehensive customer and service networks have increased GFI's market share in key fixed income and foreign exchange markets, as well as provided expense flexibility to alleviate higher overall technology and regulatory compliance costs. We will continue to focus on providing our customers with sophisticated trading technology and wide ranging support services to fortify and grow our market share, revenue base and profits.
"GFI's non-GAAP net revenues grew 1.1% in the first quarter of 2014, as software, analytics and market data revenues increased 16.3% and brokerage revenues declined 2.0%. GFI's Trayport and FENICS businesses continued to expand by leveraging their customer base and adding new products and services. Trayport's revenues grew 19.1% on a U.S. dollar basis in the first quarter.
"Our electronic matching protocol remains a key part of GFI's overall electronic strategy. Matching sessions continued to provide a growing revenue source in fixed income products globally. In the Americas and EMEA, matching session revenues in the first quarter represented approximately 52% and 18% of fixed income product revenues, compared to 29% and 8% in the prior year, respectively. In fixed income products globally, matching session revenues approximately tripled in derivatives and more than doubled in cash products, year over year. We expect that GFI's electronic matching session revenues will continue to grow in both fixed income and foreign exchange markets globally.
"We remain focused on reducing GFI's overall compensation ratio and are pleased with the lower, more performance-based compensation arrangements implemented over the past two years. GFI's non-GAAP compensation rate improved versus the prior year period despite increased technology and regulatory compliance costs. We expect to see considerable operating leverage when higher volumes return to the global markets.
"Mandatory trading on Swap Execution Facilities ("SEFs") in fixed income and interest rate derivative products will largely be implemented in the second quarter of 2014. We expect that market participation and volumes will improve, as users become more familiar trading on SEF platforms.
"GFI's preliminary April total revenues are tracking down approximately 8% year over year. GFI's brokerage business continues to face ongoing regulatory changes and generally low volatility and interest rate environments globally.
"GFI's first quarter cash earnings were $0.20 per diluted share, or approximately $26.3 million. We are pleased to declare a quarterly cash dividend to GFI shareholders of $0.05 per share."
GAAP Results: First Quarter 2014
Net revenues were $202.4 million, compared to $201.5 million in the prior year. Net income was $4.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $4.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. Compensation and employee benefits expense was 68.0% of net revenues, flat to the prior year quarter. Non-compensation expenses were $59.2 million, or 29.3% of net revenues, compared to $64.4 million, or 32.0% of net revenues in the prior year.
Non-GAAP Results: First Quarter 2014
Revenues
Net revenues were $202.1 million as compared to $199.8 million.
Brokerage revenues were $173.1 million compared to $176.6 million. Revenues from fixed income products were up 10.7%, while revenue from financial, commodity and equity products were down 0.7%, 11.1% and 9.6%, respectively. By geographic region, brokerage revenues increased 3.6% and 3.7% in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively, and declined 10.8% in the Americas.
Revenues from trading software, analytics and market data products were $25.8 million, up 16.3% from $22.2 million in the prior year.
Expenses
Our compensation and employee benefit expenses were $137.7 million, or 68.1% of net revenues, compared with $137.0 million, or 68.6% in first quarter 2013. Non-compensation expenses were $56.1 million, or 27.8% of net revenues, compared with $53.5 million, or 26.8% in the prior year.
Earnings
GFI's net income was $6.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with $7.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
The effective non-GAAP tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was estimated at 20.0% as compared to 36.0% for full-year 2013. The decrease in effective tax rate was primarily driven by valuation reserves recorded in 2013 against deferred tax assets relating to certain previous years' operating losses.
Dividend Declaration
The Board of Directors of GFI has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on May 30, 2014 to shareholders of record as of May 16, 2014.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement GFI's unaudited financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by GFI include non-GAAP total revenues, non-GAAP net revenues, non-GAAP provision for or benefit from income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, cash earnings and cash earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures currently exclude from the Company's statement of income amortization of acquired intangibles and certain other items that management views as non-operating, non-recurring or non-cash as detailed in the reconciliation included in the financial tables attached to this release.
In addition, GFI may consider whether other significant non-operating, non-recurring or non-cash items that arise in the future should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses. The non-GAAP financial measures also take into account estimated adjustments to income tax expense with respect to the excluded items.
GFI believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core business, operating results or future outlook. GFI's management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of the Company's performance to prior periods.
In addition to the reasons stated above, which are generally applicable to each of the items GFI excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude amortization of acquired intangibles because when analyzing the operating performance of an acquired business, GFI's management focuses on the total return provided by the investment (i.e., operating profit generated from the acquired entity, as compared to the purchase price paid) without taking into consideration any charges for allocations made for accounting purposes. Further, because the purchase price for an acquisition necessarily reflects the accounting value assigned to intangible assets, when analyzing the operating performance of an acquisition in subsequent periods, the Company's management excludes the GAAP impact of acquired intangible assets on its financial results. GFI believes that such an approach is useful in understanding the long-term return provided by an acquisition and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the accounting expense associated with acquired intangible assets.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP is included in the financial tables attached to this release.

| (1) | Total assets include receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations of $851.8 million and $295.7 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These receivables primarily represent securities transactions entered into in connection with our matched principal business which have not settled as of their stated settlement dates, as well as balances with clearing organizations. These receivables are substantially offset by corresponding payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and to clearing customers, for these unsettled transactions. |

| (2) | Brokerage personnel headcount includes brokers, traders, trainees and clerks. |
| |||||||

| (3) | Broker productivity is calculated as brokerage revenues divided by average monthly brokerage personnel headcount for the quarter. |
