ST. LOUIS, MO – Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported net income available to common shareholders of $110.6 million, or $1.46 per diluted common share on net revenues of $883.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with net income available to common shareholders of $104.6 million, or $1.34 per diluted common share, on net revenues of $821.6 million for the third quarter of 2019.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reported non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders of $120.5 million, or $1.59 per diluted common share. The Company’s reported GAAP net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily impacted by merger-related expenses. Details discussed below and in the “Non-GAAP Financial Matters” section.

Chairman’s Comments

“The financial performance during the quarter, and over the past few years, has been driven by a diverse business mix that’s enabled both our Institutional Group and Wealth Management segments to generate strong growth. This diversification is illustrated by record nine month Wealth Management revenues despite significant declines in net interest income and deposit sweep fees, both a result of the Federal Reserve’s implementation of a zero rate environment. Likewise, we achieved record nine-month Institutional Group revenues as record capital raising and brokerage revenues more than compensated for the 13% decline in advisory revenue,” stated Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stifel.

Mr. Kruszewski continued, “Simply, Stifel is a growth company with diversified, balanced, and synergistic businesses. Over the last 12 months, Wealth Management, under both brokerage and fee-based models, has contributed 46% of net revenues. Institutional revenues, comprised of equity and fixed income, investment banking and trading, made up 41% of net revenues, while net interest income accounted for the remaining 13%. The complementary nature of these businesses is reflected in our return on tangible common equity, which is 23% over the past 12 months.”

Net Revenues

Net revenues were $883.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, a 7.5% increase from the third quarter of 2019 and a 1.4% decrease from the second quarter of 2020. Net revenues, compared with the third quarter of 2019, reflected significantly higher brokerage revenues, increased capital raising revenues, and asset management and service fees, partially offset by lower net interest income and advisory fee revenues. Net revenues, compared with the second quarter of 2020, reflected increased asset management and services fees and capital raising revenues, partially offset by lower advisory fee revenues, principal transaction fee revenues, net interest income, and commission revenues.

The operating environment continued to recover during the third quarter of 2020 from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier in the year as global economic activity significantly rebounded following a sharp decrease in the second quarter, market volatility declined modestly, and monetary and fiscal policy remained accommodative. As a result, global equity prices increased and credit spreads tightened compared with the end of the second quarter of 2020.

Brokerage Revenues

Brokerage revenues, defined as commissions and principal transactions, were $313.5 million, a 19.8% increase compared with the third quarter of 2019 and an 8.6% decrease compared with the second quarter of 2020.

Non-Compensation Operating Expenses

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, non-compensation operating expenses were $191.3 million, which included $6.2 million of merger-related expenses (non-GAAP adjustments).

Excluding the non-GAAP adjustments, non-compensation operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 were 21.0% (non-GAAP measure).

The increase in non-compensation operating expenses, compared with the third quarter of 2019, is primarily attributable to volume-related expenses, net provisions for regulatory matters, and professional fees, partially offset by decreases in travel and conference-related expenses as a result of COVID-19. In addition, the third quarter of 2020 was positively impacted by the adjustments associated with the accounting for credit losses under the CECL standard ⁽⁷⁾.

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 September 30, 2020, September 30, 2019, and June 30, 2020. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the three months ended June 30, 2020 to net income and earnings per diluted common share on a non-GAAP basis for the same period.
