REPORTS NOVEMBER 2010 OPERATING DATA

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – In an effort to provide timely information to enable analysts and investors to stay better informed about the general trends in our major business segments, we are releasing selected operating statistics. Due to the limited nature of this data, a consistent correlation to earnings should not be assumed.

“Securities commissions and fees were up 16 percent over last year and 2 percent over the previous month driven by the Private Client Group,” stated CEO Paul Reilly. “Although down slightly, client assets under administration remained near record levels at $253.4 billion and assets under management grew to $31.6 billion.

“ECM had a solid month, particularly in Canada, which did extremely well. Backlog for the entire business looks promising. Trading profits were at a slight loss for the month as the volatility in the Fixed Income market had an adverse impact on results. The volatility of late November continued into early December, thus we anticipate that trading profits will be below recent levels,” added Reilly.

“Bank loans grew slightly and the loan pipeline continues to build, which portends a continued growth in loan balances. Credit quality continues to improve. Once again, we are encouraged by the steady, albeit slow, growth in the economy and our position to take advantage of the continuing economic recovery.”
