FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STIFEL FINANCIAL CORP. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS

• Net revenues of $358.9 million increased 9% from the second quarter of 2010.

• Non-GAAP net income of $31.3 million1, or $0.50 per diluted share2, increased 30% from the second quarter of 2010.

• GAAP net income of $3.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.

• Stockholders' equity was $1.3 billion and book value per share was $24.50 as of June 30, 2011.

 

ST. LOUIS, August 8, 2011 - Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported unaudited GAAP net revenues of $358.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The company reported non-GAAP net income of $31.3 million1, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared with non-GAAP net income of $24.1 million1, or $0.46 per diluted share2, on net revenues of $328.0 million for the second quarter of 2010. On a GAAP basis, the company reported unaudited net income of $3.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared with net income of $21.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted share2 for the second quarter of 2010. A reconciliation of the company's GAAP results to these non-GAAP measures is discussed below under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

GAAP results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were significantly impacted by charges relating to ongoing civil litigation with five southeastern Wisconsin school districts ("District Litigation") and the associated regulatory investigation. The charges relating to the District Litigation are the result of the purchase of $162.5 million in notes from Depfa Bank and a provision for estimated costs associated with the ongoing civil litigation and related SEC matter. In addition, the Company incurred merger-related expenses as a result of our merger with Thomas Weisel Partners Group, Inc. ("TWPG"). These charges reduced net income by $27.9 million or $0.45 per diluted share.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the company reported non-GAAP net income of $64.2 million1, or $1.02 per diluted share, on net revenues of $725.6 million, compared with non-GAAP net income of $47.8 million1, or $0.91 per diluted share2, on net revenues of $640.0 million during the comparable period in 2010. On a GAAP basis, the company reported unaudited net income of $34.8 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with unaudited net income of $44.8 million, or $0.85 per diluted share2, during the comparable period in 2010.

"Second quarter results improved over the year-ago period, but were impacted by a challenging market environment dominated by macroeconomic factors, and significant non-core expenses primarily related to additional legal reserves in connection with previously disclosed matters. Despite these factors, our investment banking group generated their second best revenue quarter, which was offset by pressure in our brokerage and private client businesses due to a lack of investor conviction coupled with lower industry-wide volumes," commented Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Stifel Financial. "We continue to position the firm for long-term growth and our recent announcement of the pending acquisition of Stone & Youngberg delivers on this strategy by adding public finance expertise and coverage in new markets. We are excited about combining our highly complementary businesses and delivering enhanced services to both our institutional and wealth management clients."

Global Wealth Management

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Global Wealth Management ("GWM") segment generated pre-tax operating income of $55.4 million, compared with $40.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $61.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. Net revenues for the quarter were $225.6 million, compared with $199.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, and $238.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. The increase in net revenues over the comparable period in 2010 is primarily attributable to: (1) higher commissions revenues as a result of increased client assets coupled with higher productivity; (2) growth in asset management and service fees as a result of an increase in assets under management, positive gains in market performance and contributions as a result of the merger with TWPG; and (3) increased equity underwriting sales credits. The decrease in net revenues from the record first quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to a decrease in commissions and principal transactions revenues as a result of lower trading volumes.

•         The Private Client Group reported net revenues of $213.5 million, a 12% increase compared with the second quarter of 2010 and a 7% decrease compared with the first quarter of 2011.

•         Stifel Bank reported net revenues of $12.1 million, a 36% increase compared with the second quarter of 2010 and a 36% increase compared with the first quarter of 2011.

Institutional Group

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Institutional Group segment generated pre-tax operating income of $22.0 million, compared with $30.8 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $21.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. Net revenues for the quarter were $132.9 million, compared with $124.6 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $127.0 million in the first quarter of 2011. The growth in revenue over the comparable period in 2010 was driven by an increase in investment banking revenues, which was primarily related to improved equity capital market conditions and contributions as a result of the merger with TWPG. The increase in activity was offset by a decline in fixed income and equity institutional brokerage revenues, which was negatively impacted by the challenging market conditions present during the first half of 2011 and lower industry-wide volumes. The decrease in net revenues from the first quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to a decrease in institutional brokerage revenues, offset by an increase in advisory fees and equity and, to a lesser extent, fixed income capital raising revenues.

 

3 A reconciliation of the company's GAAP results to these non-GAAP measures is discussed below under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Institutional brokerage revenues were $73.2 million, a 17% decrease compared with the second quarter of 2010 and a 19% decrease compared with the first quarter of 2011.

•         Equity institutional brokerage revenues were $41.7 million, a 6% decrease compared with the second quarter of 2010 and a 20% decrease compared with the first quarter of 2011.

•         Fixed income institutional brokerage revenues were $31.5 million, a 29% decrease compared with the second quarter of 2010 and an 18% decrease compared with the first quarter of 2011.

Investment banking revenues were $58.0 million, a 62% increase compared with the second quarter of 2010 and a 65% increase compared with the first quarter of 2011.

•         Equity capital raising revenues were $28.0 million, a 35% increase compared with the second quarter of 2010 and a 22% increase compared with the first quarter of 2011.

•         Fixed income capital raising revenues were $5.2 million, a 17% increase compared with the second quarter of 2010 and a 70% increase compared with the first quarter of 2011.

•         Equity advisory fee revenues were $22.9 million, a 149% increase compared with the second quarter of 2010, and a 173% increase compared with the first quarter of 2011.

•         Fixed income advisory fee revenues were $1.9 million, a 44% increase compared with the second quarter of 2010 and a 184% increase compared with the first quarter of 2011.

Consolidated Compensation and Benefits Expenses

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compensation and benefits expenses was $229.9 million, which included $2.0 million of merger-related expenses, increased 6% compared with the second quarter of 2010, and decreased 1% compared with the first quarter of 2011. The increase in compensation and benefits expenses from the comparable period in 2010 is primarily due to increased revenue production and profitability. The decrease from the first quarter of 2011 is primarily attributable to a decrease in variable compensation as a result of lower revenues.

Excluding merger-related expenses, compensation and benefits as a percentage of net revenues was 64%4 compared with 65%4 in the second quarter of 2010 and 63%4 in the first quarter of 2011. Transition pay, which primarily consists of amortization of upfront notes, signing bonuses and retention awards, as a percentage of net revenues was 5% in the second quarter of 2011 compared with 6% in the second quarter of 2010 and 5% in the first quarter of 2011.

Consolidated Non-Compensation Operating Expenses

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, non-compensation operating expenses of $125.0 million, which included $41.8 million of litigation-related charges and $1.3 million of merger-related expenses, increased 66% compared with the second quarter of 2010 and increased 48% compared with the first quarter of 2011. Excluding legal and merger-related expenses, non-compensation operating expenses were $81.9 million for the second quarter of 2011, a 12% increase compared with the second quarter of 2010 and consistent with the first quarter of 2011. The increase in non-compensation operating expenses from the comparable period in 2010 is primarily due to increased variable expenses associated with revenue growth and an increase in expenses as a result of the merger with TWPG.

Excluding legal and merger-related expenses, non-compensation operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was 23%4 compared with 22%4 in the second quarter of 2010 and 22%4 in the first quarter of 2011.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was 12% compared with 41% for the comparable period in 2010 and 38% for the first quarter of 2011.

Statement of Financial Condition (Unaudited)

Total assets increased 34% to $4.5 billion as of June 30, 2011 from $3.4 billion as of June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to growth of the company's bank subsidiary, which has grown its balance sheet to $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2011 from $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, Stifel Bank's investment portfolio of $1.1 billion has increased 45% from June 30, 2010, with over 75% of the investment portfolio is comprised of agency mortgage-backed securities. The increase in total assets is also attributable to the assets acquired in the merger with TWPG. In addition to the net assets acquired in the merger with TWPG, the company recorded goodwill and intangible assets of $153.1 million. The company's broker-dealer subsidiary's gross assets and liabilities, including trading inventory, stock loan/borrow, receivables and payables from/to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and clients, fluctuate with business levels and overall market conditions.

Total stockholders' equity as of June 30, 2011 increased $369.4 million, or 40%, to $1.3 billion from $927.1 million as of June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to the issuance of stock upon the completion of the merger with TWPG and the cumulative impact of the previously announced modification of the deferred compensation plan of $73.9 million after-tax, offset by the repurchase of $71.2 million, or 2.4 million shares5, of the company's common stock pursuant to existing Board repurchase authorizations since June 30, 2010. Book value per share was $24.50 at June 30, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011, the company reported total securities owned and investments at fair value of $1.9 billion, which included securities categorized as Level 3 of $175.7 million. The company's Level 3 assets include auction rate securities with a fair value of $118.4 million as of June 30, 2011.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company utilized non-GAAP calculations of presented net revenues, compensation and benefits, non-compensation operating expenses, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, compensation and non-compensation operating expense ratios, pre-tax margin and diluted earnings per share as an additional measure to aid in understanding and analyzing the company's financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the three months ended March 31, 2011. Specifically, the company believes that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the company's core operating results and business outlook. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures will allow for a better evaluation of the operating performance of the business and facilitate a meaningful comparison of the company's results in the current period to those in prior periods and future periods. Reference to these non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for results that are presented in a manner consistent with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the company's current financial performance. These non-GAAP amounts exclude litigation-related expenses associated with the civil lawsuit and related regulatory investigation in connection with the ongoing matter with five Southeastern Wisconsin school districts and certain compensation and non-compensation operating expenses associated with the merger of TWPG.

A limitation of utilizing these non-GAAP measures of net revenues, compensation and benefits, non-compensation operating expenses, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, compensation and non-compensation operating expenses ratios, pre-tax margin and diluted earnings per share is that the GAAP accounting effects of these merger-related charges do in fact reflect the underlying financial results of the company's business and these effects should not be ignored in evaluating and analyzing its financial results. Therefore, the company believes that GAAP measures of net revenues, compensation and benefits, non-compensation operating expenses, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, compensation and non-compensation operating expense ratios, pre-tax margin and diluted earnings per share and the same respective non-GAAP measures of the company's financial performance should be considered together.
