FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STIFEL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Record net revenues of $675.5 million, increased 9.0% compared with the year-ago quarter and 2.1% sequentially.

Record net revenues and pre-tax operating income in Global Wealth Management.

Net income available to common shareholders of $63.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted common share.

 

Record client assets of $252.4 billion, increased 14.2% compared with the year-ago quarter and 6.5% sequentially.

ST. LOUIS, May 1, 2017 – Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported net income available to common shareholders of $63.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted common share on record net revenues of $675.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared with net income available to common shareholders of $27.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share, on net revenues of $620.0 million for the first quarter of 2016.

The GAAP results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were impacted by the following:

 

Anticipated merger-related charges of approximately $17.1 million ($10.4 million after-tax) associated with the Company’s acquisitions;

 

Severance expense of approximately $4.5 million ($2.8 million after-tax) associated with the Company’s cost saving initiatives; and

 

New accounting guidance associated with stock-based compensation that favorably impacted the quarter’s income tax expense by $16.9 million.

Chairman’s Comments

“I’m pleased with our results, as Stifel generated a second consecutive quarter of record net revenue, and non-GAAP pre-tax margins were just under 15%, the highest level since the fourth quarter of 2014. Our continued growth on both the top and bottom line is a testament to Stifel’s diversified business strategy as well as our efforts to improve our expense efficiencies.  In the first quarter, our net revenue was driven by record results in our Global Wealth Management segment that was due to further increases in fee-based revenue and improved net interest income at Stifel Bank.  The growth in these recurring revenue streams over the past year and a half has helped to offset the volatility in our more transaction-driven institutional businesses. In terms of expense discipline, we continue to make progress on our cost-reduction initiatives as the first quarter represented the lowest non-compensation ratio at the firm in eleven quarters,” stated Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman & CEO of Stifel.

GAAP net revenues include a $2.0 million loss associated with the disposal of certain assets during the first quarter of 2017 from the Sterne Agee acquisition. Non-GAAP net revenues of $677.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 excludes the loss.

(2)

Non-GAAP pre-tax margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of 14.9% is calculated by adding merger-related and severance non-GAAP adjustments of $21.6 million to our GAAP income before income taxes of $79.0 million and dividing it by non-GAAP net revenues for the quarter of $677.5 million. Reconciliations of the Company’s GAAP results to certain non-GAAP measures is discussed above and under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilized certain non-GAAP calculations as additional measures to aid in understanding and analyzing the Company’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2017. 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 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. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or as being superior to, operating income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures primarily exclude expenses which management believes are, in some instances, non-recurring and not representative of on-going business.

A limitation of utilizing these non-GAAP measures is that the GAAP accounting effects of these 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 and the same respective non-GAAP measures of the Company’s financial performance should be considered together.  

The following table provides details with respect to reconciling net income and earnings per diluted common share on a GAAP basis for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to net income and earnings per diluted common share on a non-GAAP basis for the same period.
