Revenues
For the second quarter of 2021, record net revenues of $508.6 million increased 19% compared to the first quarter of 2021 and 74% compared to the second quarter of 2020.
Investment banking revenues of $387.1 million for the second quarter of 2021 increased 31% compared to the first quarter of 2021 and 94% compared to the second quarter of 2020. For the second quarter of 2021, investment banking generated 76% of total net revenues.
•Advisory services revenues of $248.7 million for the second quarter of 2021 represent the strongest quarter on record and include broad contributions from all of our industry groups and product teams. Revenues for the current quarter increased 63% compared to the first quarter of 2021 driven by more completed transactions and a higher average fee. Revenues increased 191% compared to the second quarter of 2020 resulting from the significant market recovery. Market conditions remain conducive for M&A activity and our pipelines are robust.
•Corporate financing revenues of $102.4 million for the second quarter of 2021 decreased 12% compared to the record first quarter of 2021 and increased 23% compared to the second quarter of 2020. Our performance during the current quarter was led by our healthcare and financial services teams. We completed 24 equity deals for healthcare companies, serving as book runner on 22, and our financial services group executed on a strong flow of debt and preferred financings. We expect to continue executing as these markets remain conducive.
•Municipal financing revenues of $36.1 million for the second quarter of 2021 increased 33% compared to the first quarter of 2021 and 17% compared to the second quarter of 2020. Market conditions remain robust as low interest rates and a strong credit outlook drove strong new issuance activity. Our specialty sectors drove the increased revenues for the current quarter highlighting the breadth of our franchise, and our governmental business performed well. We believe our pipeline remains robust which should lead to a strong second half of 2021.
Institutional brokerage revenues of $95.8 million for the second quarter of 2021 decreased 12% compared to the first quarter of 2021 and increased 7% compared to the second quarter of 2020. For the second quarter of 2021, institutional brokerage generated 19% of total net revenues.
•Equity brokerage revenues of $34.9 million for the second quarter of 2021 decreased 19% compared to the first quarter of 2021 and 14% compared to the second quarter of 2020. Volumes and volatility experienced a sharp decline to start the second quarter and clients entered a consolidation phase driving the decline in activity.
•Fixed income services revenues of $61.0 million for the second quarter of 2021 decreased 8% compared to the record first quarter of 2021 as the reduction in municipal yields drove a decline in client activity. Revenues increased 25% compared to the second quarter of 2020 resulting from strong activity among our financial institutions clients driven by excess liquidity. We anticipate that the uncertain interest rate outlook combined with current low rates could lead to a further moderation in activity.
Investment income of $26.7 million for the second quarter of 2021 increased compared to both the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2020. The current and prior periods include amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. Investment income for the current and prior periods primarily related to gains recorded in our merchant banking funds.
Non-Interest Expenses
For the second quarter of 2021, non-interest expenses of $394.6 million increased 14% compared to the first quarter of 2021 and 38% compared to the second quarter of 2020.
•Compensation ratio of 63.9% for the second quarter of 2021 declined compared to the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2020 as the result of higher net revenues.
•Non-compensation expenses of $69.3 million for the second quarter of 2021 increased 6% compared to the first quarter of 2021 and decreased 3% compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase in non-compensation expenses compared to the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to acquisition-related restructuring and integration costs associated with consolidating office spaces. The decrease in non-compensation expenses compared to the second quarter of 2020 was driven by reduced acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, offset in part by higher marketing and business development expenses associated with the gradual increase in employee travel.
Pre-Tax Income
For the second quarter of 2021, we recorded pre-tax income of $114.1 million compared to $82.9 million for the first quarter of 2021 and $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2020.
•Pre-tax margin of 22.4% for the second quarter of 2021 improved compared to 19.3% for the first quarter of 2021 and 2.5% for the second quarter of 2020 driven by record net revenues.
Net Income & Earnings Per Share
For the second quarter of 2021, we recorded record net income of $69.8 million, or $4.12 per diluted common share. Results for the current quarter improved compared to the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2020 driven by increased net revenues and a higher pre-tax margin.

Throughout the press release, including the table above, we present financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments to exclude: (1) revenues and expenses related to noncontrolling interests, (2) interest expense on long-term financing, (3) amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, (4) compensation and non-compensation expenses from acquisition-related agreements and (5) acquisition-related restructuring and integration costs. The adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding used in the calculation of non-GAAP earnings per diluted common share contains an adjustment to include the common shares for unvested restricted stock awards with service conditions granted pursuant to the acquisitions of Sandler O'Neill, The Valence Group and TRS Advisors LLC.

The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, see "Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Selected Summary Financial Information."

TAXES
Our non-GAAP effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 was 26.6%. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our non-GAAP effective tax rate of 25.8% included a $1.4 million tax benefit related to restricted stock vesting at values greater than the grant price. Excluding the impact of this tax benefit, our non-GAAP effective tax rate was 26.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our non-GAAP effective tax rate was 21.3%. In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded tax benefits primarily related to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, which drove our quarterly adjusted income tax rate lower. Given our improved performance for the second quarter of 2020, we reduced a portion of these tax benefits, which drove our quarterly adjusted income tax rate higher. The net impact resulted in tax benefits of $2.6 million for the first half of 2020. Excluding the impact of these tax benefits, our non-GAAP effective tax rate was 24.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
CAPITAL
Dividends
On July 30, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the company's common stock of $0.55 per share, to be paid on September 10, 2021, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 27, 2021.
During the second quarter of 2021, we paid a quarterly cash dividend on the company's common stock of $0.45 per share, totaling $6.5 million. For the first half of 2021, we returned an aggregate of $41.0 million, or $2.70 per share, to shareholders through quarterly dividends and the annual special dividend, which was paid in the first quarter of 2021.
Share Repurchases
In the first half of 2021, we repurchased approximately 123,000 shares of the company's common stock at an average price of $106.39 per share, from restricted stock award recipients selling shares upon the award vesting to meet their employment tax obligations. We also repurchased approximately 198,000 shares, at an average price of $116.71 per share, pursuant to our share repurchase authorization. The aggregate amount of approximately 321,000 shares, or $36.2 million, were repurchased at an average price of $112.75 per share.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and the conference call to discuss the contents of this press release contain forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These forward-looking statements cover, among other things, statements made about the outlook for future periods for corporate advisory (i.e., M&A), capital markets, and public finance transactions (including our performance in specific sectors), current deal pipelines (or backlogs), the scope and impact of COVID-19, revenue levels from recent transactions (i.e., TRS Advisors, The Valence Group, Sandler O'Neill, and Weeden & Co.), areas of potential growth and market share gains for the company (e.g., sectors within corporate advisory or geographic regions within public finance), economic and market conditions (including the outlook for equity markets, municipal issuance, and the interest rate environment), our recruiting pipeline, the state of our equity and fixed income brokerage businesses, anticipated financial results for future periods (including expectations regarding revenue levels, non-compensation expenses, effective tax rate, compensation ratio, compensation and benefits expense, operating margins, return on equity, and earnings per share), our strategic priorities, including growth of investment banking, the payment of our quarterly and special annual dividends to our shareholders, our share repurchase program, the expected benefits and integration of our recent acquisitions of TRS Advisors, The Valence Group, and Sandler O'Neill, or other similar matters.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or discussed in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and important factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
•revenues from corporate advisory (i.e., M&A) engagements and equity and debt financings may vary materially depending on the number, size, and timing of completed transactions, and completed transactions do not generally provide for subsequent engagements;
•the duration, extent and severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including its impacts across our business, operations and employees and on economies and markets more generally;
•the expected benefits of our recent acquisitions of TRS Advisors, The Valence Group, and Sandler O'Neill may take longer than anticipated to achieve or may not be achieved in their entirety or at all, and will in part depend on our ability to retain and hire key personnel, and the costs or difficulties relating to the combination of the businesses may be greater than expected and may adversely affect our results of operations;
•market and economic conditions or developments may be unfavorable, including in specific sectors in which we operate, and these conditions or developments, such as market fluctuations or volatility, may adversely affect our business, revenue levels and profitability;
•the volume of anticipated transactions – including corporate advisory (i.e., M&A), equity financing, and debt financing – and the corresponding revenues from the transactions may vary from quarter to quarter significantly, particularly if there is a decline in macroeconomic conditions or the financial markets;
•interest rate volatility, especially if the changes are rapid or severe, could negatively impact our fixed income institutional business and the negative impact could be exaggerated by reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets; and
•our stock price may fluctuate as a result of several factors, including but not limited to, changes in our revenues and operating results.
A further listing and description of these and other risks, uncertainties and important factors can be found in the sections titled "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and updated in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC (available at our Web site at www.pipersandler.com and at the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov).
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. We undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.
