ST. LOUIS, MO – Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported net income available to common shareholders of $86.4 million, or $1.06 per diluted common share on net revenues of $750.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with net income available to common shareholders of $63.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted common share, on net revenues of $675.5 million for the first quarter of 2017.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company reported non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders of $93.8 million, or $1.15 per diluted common share. The Company’s reported GAAP net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily impacted by merger-related expenses. Details discussed below and in the “Non-GAAP Financial Matters” section.

Chairman’s Comments

“Our first quarter revenue represented the strongest first quarter performance in Stifel’s history, as net revenue of $750 million increased by 11% from the same quarter a year ago. We continue to benefit from growth in recurring revenues, which represented 41% of total revenue in the first quarter, as bank revenue and asset management & service fee revenue were both quarterly records. We also generated 39% growth in investment banking revenue as our advisory revenue nearly doubled and equity underwriting revenue was up nearly 50% from the first quarter of 2017. As a result of our revenue growth and focus on expense management, our non-GAAP pre-tax margins improved to 17.3% from 14.9% a year ago. We continue to have a positive outlook for our business as economic growth continues to accelerate and the operating environment remains solid despite increased volatility. Given the increased diversity of our business model, we believe Stifel remains well positioned for continued growth,” stated Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman & CEO of Stifel.

Global wealth management capital raising revenues were $7.7 million, a 35.1% decrease compared with the first quarter of 2017 and a 13.6% decrease compared with the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

Institutional equity capital raising revenues were $52.7 million, a 46.5% increase compared with the first quarter of 2017 and an 8.8% decrease compared with the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

Institutional fixed income capital raising revenues were $18.3 million, a 29.9% decrease compared with the first quarter of 2017 and a 57.3% decrease compared with the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

Advisory fee revenues were $97.7 million, an 84.5% increase compared with the first quarter of 2017 and a 20.7% decrease compared with record advisory fee revenues in the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides accounting guidance on the recognition of revenues from contracts and requires gross presentation of certain costs that were previously offset against revenue. This change was applied prospectively from January 1, 2018 and there is no impact on our previously presented results. The adoption of the new revenue standard resulted in a reduction of beginning retained earnings of $3.9 million after-tax as a cumulative effect of adoption of an accounting change.

The impact of adoption is primarily related to investment banking revenues that were previously recognized in prior periods, which would have been deferred as of December 31, 2017 under the new revenue standard.

With our adoption of the new revenue recognition standard on January 1, 2018, capital raising and advisory fee revenues are no longer presented net of the related out-of-pocket deal expenses. As a result, capital raising and advisory fee revenues and other operating expenses are higher in the first quarter of 2018 by an identical $8.6 million, with no impact to net income.

Asset Management and Service Fee Revenues

Asset management and service fee revenues were a record $195.8 million, a 20.3% increase compared with the first quarter of 2017 and a 5.0% increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase from the comparative period in 2017 is primarily attributable to the growth in the value of fee-based accounts and an increase in interest rates. See asset management and service fee break-down below.

Net Interest Income

Record net interest income of $111.3 million, a 30.8% increase compared with the first quarter of 2017 and a 4.2% increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

Interest income was $137.7 million, a 36.4% increase compared with the first quarter of 2017 and an 8.8% increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

Interest expense was $26.5 million, a 66.4% increase compared with the first quarter of 2017 and a 33.2% increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2017.

Compensation and Benefits Expenses

For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compensation and benefits expenses were $457.9 million, which included $3.7 million of merger-related and severance expenses (non-GAAP adjustments). This compares with $436.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $620.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Excluding the non-GAAP adjustments, compensation and benefits as a percentage of net revenues were 60.5% in the first quarter of 2018 (non-GAAP measure).

Provision for Income Taxes

The GAAP effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was 25.8%. This compares with an effective income tax rate of 17.1% for the first quarter of 2017 and (142.4%) for the fourth quarter of 2017. The adjusted non-GAAP effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was 25.8%.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily impacted by the tax reform enacted in the fourth quarter of 2017 that, among other things, lowered the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and the adoption of new accounting guidance during 2017 associated with stock-based compensation.

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, 2018, March 31, 2017, and December 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, 2018, March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2017 to net income and earnings per diluted common share on a non-GAAP basis for the same period.
