ST. LOUIS, July 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported net income available to common shareholders of $103.8 million, or $1.31 per diluted common share on net revenues of $800.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared with net income available to common shareholders of $84.9 million, or $1.04 per diluted common share, on net revenues of $742.7 million for the second quarter of 2018.

Chairman’s Comments

“I’m very pleased with our second quarter results. The $801 million in net revenue in the second quarter was the second highest quarterly revenue in our history and, through the first half of 2019, we have generated a record $1.6 billion of net revenue. In addition to our revenue growth, our expense discipline contributed to margins of nearly 20% in the quarter which drove non-GAAP return on tangible common equity of 23% and non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.41, up nearly 16% over 2018. We repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares in the first half of the year while maintaining our commitment to growing our business both organically and through accretive acquisitions. In the first half of 2019, we recruited 80 financial advisors and our pipeline remains very strong. Additionally, we announced two acquisitions in the first half of 2019 and closed another. As I look forward, I am optimistic about the second half of 2019 as well as our longer-term future,” stated Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stifel.

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 June 30, 2019 and 2018, and March 31, 2019. 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the three months ended March 31, 2019 to net income and earnings per diluted common share on a non-GAAP basis for the same period.
