ST. LOUIS, July 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported net income available to common shareholders of $103.0 million, or $1.39 per diluted common share on net revenues of $895.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with 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 second quarter of 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company reported non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders of $115.3 million, or $1.55 per diluted common share. The Company’s reported GAAP net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily impacted by merger-related expenses. Details discussed below and in the “Non-GAAP Financial Matters” section.

Chairman’s Comments

“The benefits of the investments we have made in our business were again evident in our second quarter results. Net revenue and earnings per share were the third highest in our history. Our Institutional Group had a record quarter led by record fixed income brokerage revenue as well as strong investment banking results primarily from robust capital raising activity in both fixed income and equity. This helped to counter the impact of the market sell off in the first quarter and the zero rate environment had on revenue lines such as asset management and net interest income, respectively. In terms of the future, I remain cautiously optimistic. We enter the third quarter, with a strong and liquid balance sheet, our strongest capital ratios in nearly four years, and a solid and improving recruiting pipeline. While the economic outlook for the second half of the year remains unclear, I believe that the performance of our diversified financial services model will remain strong,” stated Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stifel.

Net Revenues

Net revenues were $895.8 million for the second quarter of 2020, an 11.9% increase from the second quarter of 2019 and a 1.9% decrease from the first quarter of 2020. Net revenues, compared with the second quarter of 2019, reflected significantly higher brokerage revenues, increased capital raising revenues, and advisory fee revenues, partially offset by lower net interest income and asset management and service fees. Net revenues, compared with the first quarter of 2020, reflected increased advisory fee revenues, principal transaction fee revenues, and capital raising revenues, partially offset by lower net interest income, asset management and service fees, and commission revenues.

The operating environment continued to be impacted by the spread of the COVID-19 virus which caused a sharp contraction in global economic activity and increased market volatility. Economic indicators generally improved as the quarter progressed, following significant declines in March and April, as economies began to reopen and central banks, along with governments, continued to implement monetary easing measures and provide fiscal stimulus to support the economy. These contributed to higher global equity prices and tighter credit spreads compared with the end of the first quarter of 2020.

Brokerage Revenues

Brokerage revenues, defined as commissions and principal transactions, were $343.0 million, a 31.2% increase compared with the second quarter of 2019 and a 1.9% decrease compared with the first quarter of 2020.

The increase in non-compensation operating expenses, compared with the second quarter of 2019, is primarily attributable to the increase in the provision for credit losses as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the broader economic environment, 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 second quarter of 2020 included provisions related to growth in loans and the impact of 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 June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019, and March 31, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the three months ended March 31, 2020 to net income and earnings per diluted common share on a non-GAAP basis for the same period.
