    المصدر: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 27 يوليو 2022 06:00:01   America/Chicago

    ST. LOUIS, July 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported net revenues of $1.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared with $1.2 billion a year ago. Net income available to common shareholders of $151.5 million, or $1.29 per diluted common share, compared with $189.8 million, or $1.60 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders of $163.9 million, or $1.40 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2022.

    Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “The diversity of our business resulted in another strong start to the year, as our first half net revenue and EPS are the second highest in the firm’s history. Market conditions are volatile and difficult to predict, and, as such, we will remain both cautious and opportunistic. Stifel is well positioned for continued growth as our capital levels remain robust and, as we have done throughout our history, we will use periods of market dislocation to reinvest in our business for future growth.”

    Highlights

    • The Company reported solid results with net revenues of $1.1 billion, the second highest second quarter in its history, driven by higher net interest income and asset management revenues.
    • Non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders of $1.40.
    • Record net interest income, up 64% over the year ago quarter.
    • Recruited 41 financial advisors during the quarter, including 32 employee advisors and 9 independent advisors.
    • Bank loans up $1.4 billion, or 8%, sequentially, and $6.1 billion, or 46%, from the prior year.
    • Non-GAAP pre-tax margin of 21% as the Company maintained its focus on expense discipline, while continuing to invest in the business. In addition, the Company gained operating leverage as a result of the composition of revenues compared to the prior year.
    • Annualized return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) (5) of 22% in a volatile and uncertain market environment.

    Highlights

    • Strong investment banking pipeline.

    Investment banking revenues decreased 27% from a year ago:

    • Advisory fee revenues of $199.6 million decreased 3% from the year-ago quarter driven by lower levels of completed advisory transactions.
    • Equity capital raising revenues decreased significantly from a year ago on lower issuances in line with market volumes in an uncertain market environment.
    • Fixed income capital raising revenues decreased from a year ago as microeconomic conditions contributed to lower bond issuances.

    Fixed income transactional revenues increased 5% from a year ago:

    • Fixed income transactional revenues increased from the year-ago quarter driven by the Vining Sparks acquisition, which closed in November 2021, partially offset by lower trading gains.

    Equity transactional revenues decreased 26% from a year ago:

    • Equity transactional revenues declined from the year-ago quarter primarily as a result of trading losses and declines in cash equities. Broad macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns led to volatility in global equity prices, resulting in trading losses compared with trading gains during the prior year period.

    Total Expenses:

    • Compensation expense as percent of net revenues increased to 59.5% primarily as a result of lower net revenues.
    • Non-compensation operating expenses as a percent of net revenues increased to 22.8% as a result of lower net revenues, higher travel-related expenses, and investments in technology, partially offset by lower investment banking expenses.

    (3) Non-GAAP pre-tax margin is calculated by adding total merger-related expenses (non-GAAP adjustments) and dividing it by non-GAAP net revenues. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”

    (4) Return on average common equity (“ROCE”) is calculated by dividing annualized net income applicable to common shareholders by average common shareholders’ equity or, in the case of non-GAAP ROCE, calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income applicable to commons shareholders by average common shareholders’ equity.

    (5) Return on average tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) is calculated by dividing annualized net income applicable to common shareholders by average tangible shareholders’ equity or, in the case of non-GAAP ROTCE, calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income applicable to common shareholders by average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity, also on non-GAAP financial measure, equals total common shareholders’ equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets and the deferred taxes on goodwill and intangible assets. Average deferred taxes on goodwill and intangible assets was $57.4 million and $53.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

    (9) The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The Company may disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures” in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a “non-GAAP financial measure” as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude, or include, amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company are provided as additional information to analysts, investors and other stakeholders in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing the Company’s financial condition or operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever the Company refers to a non-GAAP financial measure, it will also define it or present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure it references and such comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
