Disclaimer
This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that
involve significant risks, assumptions, and uncertainties, including statements relating to the market opportunity and future business
prospects of Stifel Financial Corp., as well as Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and its subsidiaries (collectively, “SF” or the
“Company”).  These statements can be identified by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “potential,”
“estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” and similar expressions.  In particular, these statements may refer to our
goals, intentions, and expectations, our business plans and growth strategies, our ability to integrate and manage our acquired businesses,
estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits, and forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to our industry.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made.  We will not
update these forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future, unless we are obligated to do so under federal
securities laws.  
Actual results may differ materially and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance.  Factors that could
cause actual results to differ are included in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports and from time to time in other reports filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, among other things, changes in general economic and business
conditions, actions of competitors, regulatory and legal actions, changes in legislation, and technology changes.  
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
nine months ended September 30, 2012. 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 financial performance.

Chairman’s Comments
“I am pleased with our third quarter results, which included
record net revenues, as well as with our record net revenues and
net income for the first nine months of 2012. Our results highlight
the soundness of our balanced business model, particularly
against a challenging economic backdrop. In the quarter, both the
Global Wealth Management and Institutional Group segments
performed well. We continue to invest in businesses that expand
our client services, and which we believe will return shareholder
value. Opportunities drive our growth. Today’s announcement of
our merger with KBW furthers our goal of creating the premier
middle-market investment bank with a specialized focus on the
financial services industry.”
