JMP GROUP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
SAN FRANCISCO, Apr. 27, 2011 JMP Group Inc. (NYSE: JMP), an investment banking and alternative asset management firm, reported financial results today for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
| Total net revenues were $42.9 million, compared to $25.2 million for the first quarter of 2010. Adjusting for the impact of non-cash items, adjusted net revenues were a record $47.4 million, compared to $26.5 million for the first quarter of 2010. For more information on adjusted net revenues, including a reconciliation to net revenues, please see the section below titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures. |
| Net income attributable to JMP Group was $3.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2010. |
| Operating net income was $6.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, an increase of 107.4% from $3.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2010. Excluding the financial impact of gains recognized by JMP Credit Corporation on the sale or payoff of loans initially acquired in April 2009, adjusted operating net income would have been $0.19 per share, versus $0.09 per share for the first quarter of 2010. For more information on operating net income and adjusted net operating income, on a consolidated and a segment basis, including a reconciliation to net income, please see the section below titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures. |
JMP Group had a very good first quarter, in part due to an outstanding performance by JMP Securities, said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Joe Jolson. Led by our investment banking group, which enjoyed an increased share of public equity and convertible securities underwriting activity, JMP Securities produced record revenues and contributed operating EPS of $0.13. JMP Credit also had a strong quarter, contributing $0.22 of operating EPS, including $0.09 per share in acquired loan sale profits. Harvest Capital Strategies contributed $0.02 of operating EPS, reflecting a weighted average return on invested capital in our hedge funds of 1.7% for the quarter and a 17% year-over-year increase in quarterly asset management-related fee revenues. Our objective for 2011 is unchanged: Generate a minimum return of 10% on our adjusted tangible book valuewhich stood at $4.87 per share at quarter-endexcluding the financial impact of acquired loan sale profits but including the cost of the organic growth initiatives intended to help double our market share over the next five years. By these metrics, our nearly 16% annualized return in the first quarter was well above our 2011 goal and was a great way to start off the new year.
Revenues
Investment Banking
Investment banking revenues were a record $20.2 million, an increase of 269.8% from $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2010.
The company executed 30 investment banking transactions during the quarter, compared to 10 during the first quarter of 2010. Public equity underwriting revenues amounted to $12.3 million, up from $2.7 million, as the company executed 23 public equity offerings, versus six in the first quarter of 2010.

five private capital transactions, versus one in the first quarter of 2010. Strategic advisory revenues totaled $1.0 million, down from $2.4 million, with the company acting as a strategic advisor on two completed transactions, compared to three during the first quarter of 2010.
Brokerage
Net brokerage revenues were $6.3 million, a decrease of 10.3% from $7.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and 18.1% from $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2010. The company continues to anticipate that the material increase in JMP Securities equity research coverage over the past two years could help increase its market share and more than offset a secular, industry-wide decline in institutional commissions during the second half of 2011.
Asset Management
Asset management fees and other related revenues totaled $4.0 million, an increase of 17.4% from $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2010. For more information on asset management-related fee revenues, please see the section below titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
Client assets under management at March 31, 2011 totaled $1.3 billion, including $503.5 million of funds managed by Harvest Capital Strategies and $755.4 million par value of loans and cash underlying the two collateralized loan obligations managed by JMP Credit Advisors, the internal manager of JMP Credit Corporation. Client assets under management were $1.3 billion at December 31, 2010 and $1.1 billion at March 31, 2010. Including sponsored funds, client assets under management totaled $2.0 billion at March 31, 2011, compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2010 and $1.3 billion at March 31, 2010. Private capital, including corporate credit, REIT advisory services, venture capital and distressed mortgage investments, represented 42.6% of total sponsored assets under management at March 31, 2011, compared to 43.1% at March 31, 2010.
Principal Transactions
Principal transactions generated net revenues of $3.6 million, compared to $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2010. For the quarter, direct investments and investments by JMP Group in hedge funds managed by Harvest Capital Strategies produced net realized and unrealized gains of $3.4 million, compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2010. In addition, the companys strategic investment in publicly traded New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. produced an unrealized gain of $0.2 million, in line with an unrealized gain of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2010.
Gain on Sales and Payoffs of Loans and Loan Loss Provision
JMP Credit Corporation realized gains of $6.8 million due to the sale or payoff of 39 of the loans in its portfolio, compared to $3.5 million due to the sale or payoff of 11 loans during the first quarter of 2010. Included in the $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2011 was $1.0 million due to the sale or payoff of loans that had been purchased subsequent to the acquisition of JMP Credit Corporation in April 2009. At March 31, 2011, 24 loans with an aggregate par value of $98.5 million and an associated liquidity discount of $28.9 million remained from the portfolio acquired by JMP Credit in April 2009.
A loan loss provision of $0.2 million was recorded for the quarter as a general reserve with regard to performing loans at JMP Credit. At March 31, 2011, general loan loss reserves equaled 0.4% of performing loans, compared to 0.1% at March 31, 2010.
At March 31, 2011, gross impaired loans totaled $7.2 million, or 1.6% of gross loans outstanding, compared to $13.9 million, or 3.1% of gross loans outstanding, at December 31, 2010 and $59.8 million, or 12.8% of gross loans outstanding, at March 31, 2010. With regard to impaired loans at March 31, 2011, discounts and reserves (including credit discounts, liquidity discounts and allowances for loan losses) equaled $7.2 million, or 99.5% of gross impaired loans outstanding. With regard to performing loans at March 31, 2011, discounts and reserves (including liquidity discounts, allowances for loan losses and deferred loan fees) equaled $34.5 million, or 7.6% of gross performing loans outstanding.

Net Interest and Net Dividend Income
Net interest income equaled $1.9 million, compared to $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2010, and net dividend income totaled $0.3 million, versus $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2010. Unscheduled principal prepayments enhanced the yield on loans at JMP Credit Corporation and contributed $1.8 million of net interest income for the first quarter of 2011.
Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits expense was $28.2 million, compared to $15.5 million for the first quarter of 2010. Of the $28.2 million recorded for the first quarter of 2011, non-cash compensation expense attributable to restricted stock units, or RSUs, granted in connection with JMP Groups May 2007 initial public offering was $0.3 million, while the amount attributable to RSUs granted thereafter was $0.1 million.
As a percentage of adjusted net revenues, compensation and benefits expense was 59.6%, compared to 58.6% for the first quarter of 2010. Excluding the cost of RSU grants, compensation and benefits expense was 58.6% of adjusted net revenues, compared to 55.2% for the first quarter of 2010.
Non-Compensation Expense
Non-compensation expense was $6.1 million, compared to $6.3 million for the first quarter of 2010. As a percentage of adjusted net revenues, non-compensation expense was 12.9%, compared to 23.7% for the first quarter of 2010.
Prior Period Revisions
In preparing its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, JMP Group discovered errors that impacted the companys results for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2010. The net effect of these errors was an understatement of net income totaling $30,000, $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. While the adjustments were primarily related to income tax expense of $30,000, $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2010, respectively, caused by a difference in the determination of net income for GAAP and tax purposes, other immaterial errors were also identified. JMP Group evaluated these errors and concluded that they did not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material misstatement of the companys previously issued consolidated financial statements; however, JMP Group also concluded that the effect of correcting the errors would have been material to the financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Accordingly, the company has revised in this press release, and will revise in its subsequent quarterly filings on Form 10-Q in 2011 and on Form 10-K for 2011, its previously reported Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2010 and its Consolidated Statements of Operations, Cash Flows and Changes in Equity for the periods ended June 30, 2010, September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010 to adjust for these errors.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the GAAP financial results presented in this press release, JMP Group presents the non-GAAP financial measures discussed below. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors overall understanding of the companys current financial performance. Additionally, company management believes that this presentation enables meaningful comparison of JMP Groups financial performance in various periods. However, the non-GAAP financial results presented should not be considered a substitute for results that are presented in a manner consistent with GAAP. A limitation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented is that the adjustments concern gains or expenses that JMP Group expects to continue to recognize; the adjustment of these items should not be construed as an inference that these gains or expenses are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Therefore, company management believes that both JMP Groups GAAP measures of its financial performance and the respective non-GAAP measures should be considered together. The non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted Net Revenue
Adjusted net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that (i) excludes the net amortization of discounts on loans held and asset-backed securities issued by JMP Credit Corporation, (ii) excludes amortization expense related to an intangible asset, and (iii) reverses net unrealized gains and losses on strategic equity investments and warrants. In particular, adjusted net revenue adjusts for:
| the non-cash net amortization of liquidity discounts at JMP Credit, due to scheduled contractual principal repayments, of $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011; |
| non-cash amortization of $0.1 million in connection with an intangible asset; and |
| unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on the companys strategic investments in publicly traded New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. as well as certain warrant positions. |
A reconciliation of JMP Groups net revenues to the companys adjusted net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and for comparable prior periods is set forth below.

Company management has utilized adjusted net revenue, adjusted in the manner described above, as an additional device to aid in understanding and analyzing JMP Groups financial results for the periods presented. Management believes that adjusted net revenues provide useful information by excluding non-cash additions to and deductions from total net revenues that may otherwise obscure the companys cash operating revenues and complicate an assessment of the companys core business outlook. Management also believes that adjusted net revenue is a useful measure because it allows for a better evaluation of the performance of JMP Groups ongoing business and facilitates a meaningful comparison of the companys results in a given period to those in prior and future periods.
Asset Management-Related Fee Revenues
Asset management-related revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that sums asset management fees with certain fee revenues (in particular, asset management fundraising fees generated by JMP Securities, loan fees, and revenues from fee-sharing arrangements with other asset managers) that are reported in JMP Groups financial statements as other income.

Company management has utilized asset management-related revenue as a means of assessing the aggregate production of JMP Groups combined asset management activities, including its fundraising and other services for third parties. Management believes that asset management-related revenues, as presented above, provide useful information by indicating the relative contributions of base management fees and performance-related incentive fees, thus facilitating a comparison of those fees in a given period to those in prior and future periods. Management also believes that asset management-related revenue is a more meaningful measure than standalone asset management fees as reported, because asset management-related revenues represent the combined impact of JMP Groups various asset management activities on the companys total net revenues.
Operating Net Income
Operating net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that (i) reverses stock-based compensation expense related to equity awards granted both at the time of JMP Groups May 2007 initial public offering and thereafter, (ii) excludes the net amortization of discounts on loans held and asset-backed securities issued by JMP Credit Corporation, (iii) excludes amortization expense related to an intangible asset, (iv) reverses net unrealized gains and losses on strategic equity investments and warrants, and (v) assumes an effective tax rate of 42%. In particular, operating net income adjusts for:
| the grant of 1,931,060 restricted stock units, or RSUs, at the time of the companys IPO, which resulted in non-cash compensation expense of $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011; |
| the grant of RSUs subsequent to the companys IPO, which resulted in non-cash compensation expense of $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011; |
| the non-cash net amortization of liquidity discounts at JMP Credit, due to scheduled contractual principal repayments, of $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011; |
| non-cash amortization of $0.1 million in connection with an intangible asset; |
| unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on the companys strategic investments in publicly traded New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. as well as certain warrant positions; and |
| a combined federal, state and local income tax rate of 42%. |

Company management has utilized operating net income on a total and per share basis, adjusted in the manner described above, as an additional device to aid in understanding and analyzing JMP Groups financial results for the periods presented. Management believes that operating net income provides useful information by excluding certain items that may not be representative of the companys core operating results or business outlook. Management also believes that operating net income is a useful measure because it allows for a better evaluation of the performance of JMP Groups ongoing business and facilitates a meaningful comparison of the companys results in a given period to those in prior and future periods.
Adjusted Operating Net Income
Adjusted operating net income excludes from operating net income the financial contribution of gains recognized by JMP Credit Corporation due to the sale or payoff of loans originally included in the portfolio acquired by JMP Group in April 2009. Management believes that this metric can be instructive to investors who wish to assess the companys core earnings over time without regard to a relatively volatile revenue stream that may not recur. By excluding profits from sales and payoffs of acquired loans, management intends to represent the earnings power of the companys core business strategy and ongoing operations.

Segment Reporting
In order to demonstrate the earnings power of each of its primary businesses on a standalone basis, JMP Group presents the operating net income generated by each segment in the table that follows. Management believes that this presentation enables investors to better understand the separate but interrelated financial operations of the companys various business lines and more accurately assess the contribution of each to JMP Groups aggregate results.
Total revenues have been adjusted as detailed above in the section titled Adjusted Net Revenue, and the resulting adjusted net revenues exclude (i) the net amortization of discounts on loans held and asset-backed securities issued by JMP Credit Corporation, (ii) amortization expense related to an intangible asset, and (iii) net unrealized gains and losses on strategic equity investments and warrants. Total non-interest expenses have been adjusted, in part, as detailed above in the section titled Operating Net Income, and the resulting pro forma non-interest expense reverses stock-based compensation expense related to equity awards granted both at the time of JMP Groups May 2007 initial public offering and thereafter. For the purposes of calculating operating net income, an effective tax rate of 42% is assumed.

Share Repurchase Activity
During the quarter, JMP Group repurchased 218,799 shares of its common stock at an average price of $8.32 per share, or $1.8 million in total. All such shares were repurchased in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units or other stock-based compensation, whereby employees tendered shares for the payment of applicable withholding taxes. At quarter-end, approximately 260,000 shares remained eligible for repurchase under the companys existing repurchase authorization.
Cautionary Note Regarding Quarterly Financial Results
Due to the nature of its business, JMP Groups quarterly revenues and net income may fluctuate materially depending on: the size and number of investment banking transactions on which it advises; the timing of the completion of those transactions; the size and number of securities trades which it executes for brokerage customers; the performance of its asset management funds and inflows and outflows of assets under management; gains stemming from sales of or prepayments on, or losses stemming from defaults on, loans underlying the companys collateralized loan obligation; and the effect of the overall condition of the securities markets and economy as a whole. Accordingly, revenues and net income in any particular quarter may not be indicative of future results. Furthermore, JMP Groups compensation expense is generally based upon revenues and can fluctuate materially in any particular quarter depending upon the amount and sorts of revenue recognized as well as other factors. The amount of compensation and benefits expense recognized in any particular quarter may not be indicative of such expense in a future period. As a result, the company suggests that annual results may be the most meaningful gauge for investors in evaluating the performance of its business.
