Net revenues

For the first quarter of 2023, net revenuesof $297.9 million decreased 24% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and 15% compared to the first quarter of 2022.

Investment banking revenues of $184.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 decreased 33% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and 28% compared to the first quarter of 2022.

•Advisory services revenues of $140.7 million for the first quarter of 2023 decreased 36% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and 33% compared to the first quarter of 2022 driven by fewer completed transactions and a lower average fee. Our performance during the current quarter reflects broad contributions across most of our industry and product teams. The market environment across the investment banking industry continues to be impacted by macroeconomic uncertainty, which is prolonging deal timelines and the conversion of our pipelines; however, the diversification of our platform is providing resiliency to our results.

•Corporate financing revenues of $26.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 decreased 27% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 driven by fewer book run financings. Revenues for the current quarter increased 40% compared to the first quarter of 2022 driven by more equity financings. Our performance during the quarter was led by our healthcare team with additional contributions from financial services and energy & power.

•Municipal financing revenues of $16.9 million for the first quarter of 2023 decreased 9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and 38% compared to the first quarter of 2022 driven by a decline in issuance activity. Market conditions continue to remain challenging resulting from increased interest rates and volatility combined with weakened investor demand leading to reduced market issuance, particularly refinancing activity and high-yield issuance.

Institutional brokerage revenues of $96.3 million for the first quarter of 2023 decreased 9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and 8% compared to the first quarter of 2022.

•Equity brokerage revenues of $53.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 decreased 5% compared to the record fourth quarter of 2022 due to lower revenues from research checks, but were nonetheless the second highest quarterly revenues on record. Equity brokerage revenues increased 8% compared to the first quarter of 2022 driven by market share gains and the benefits of adding Cornerstone Macro to our platform.

3

•Fixed income services revenues of $42.5 million for the first quarter of 2023 decreased 14% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and 22% compared to the first quarter of 2022 driven by reduced client activity. Market conditions were challenging during the quarter stemming from interest rate uncertainty and an increased focus on liquidity for depository institutions.

Investment income/(loss) for the first quarter of 2023 was income of $11.1 million compared to income of $4.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and a loss of $13.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. The current and prior periods include amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. For the current and prior periods, investment income or loss primarily related to the alternative asset management funds we manage.

Non-Interest Expenses

For the first quarter of 2023, non-interest expenses of $272.1 million decreased 22% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and 14% compared to the first quarter of 2022.

•Compensation ratio of 66.9% for the first quarter of 2023 decreased compared to both the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2022 on a lower revenue base primarily due to lower acquisition-related compensation expenses. In addition, as compared to the year-ago quarter, the compensation ratio for the first quarter of 2023 decreased as a result of a shift in mix of business.

•Non-compensation expenses of $72.7 million for the first quarter of 2023 decreased 15% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower acquisition-related non-compensation expenses as well as lower reimbursed deal costs. Non-compensation expenses for the current quarter increased 8% compared to the first quarter of 2022 due to the addition of our recent acquisitions to the platform and higher acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expenses.

Pre-Tax Income

For the first quarter of 2023, pre-tax income of $25.8 million decreased compared to $42.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $35.6 million for the first quarter of 2022.

•Pre-tax margin of 8.7% for the first quarter of 2023 decreased compared to 10.9% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 10.2% for the first quarter of 2022 resulting from lower net revenues and a higher non-compensation ratio.

Effective Tax Rate

For the current and prior periods, the effective tax rate is impacted by the level of noncontrolling interests, the amount of non-deductible expense, and restricted stock award vestings. For the first quarter of 2023, income tax expense included $14.1 million of tax benefits related to restricted stock awards vesting at values greater than the grant date price as well as accrued forfeitable dividends paid on acquisition-related restricted stock, which resulted in an overall income tax benefit. The effective tax rate of 10.9% for the fourth quarter of 2022 was impacted by a $4.6 million reversal of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance on our U.K. legal entity, Piper Sandler Ltd. For the first quarter of 2022, the effective tax rate of 30.8% included $4.6 million of tax benefits related to restricted stock awards vesting at values greater than the grant date price.

Net Income & Earnings Per Share

For the first quarter of 2023, we generated net income of $25.6 million, or $1.49 per diluted common share. Results for the current quarter decreased compared to both the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2022 due to lower net revenues and pre-tax margin, offset in part by reduced income tax expense. Results for the current quarter included benefits recorded to income tax expense of $14.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share.

N/M — Not meaningful

Throughout this press release, including the table above, we present financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("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 from net revenues, (3) amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, (4) compensation and non-compensation expenses from acquisition-related agreements, (5) acquisition-related restructuring and integration costs, and (6) the income tax expense allocated to the adjustments. 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 all acquisitions since January 1, 2020. Management believes that presenting results and measures on this adjusted basis alongside U.S. GAAP measures provides the most meaningful basis for comparison of its operating results across periods, and enhances the overall understanding of our current financial performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. 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."

Adjusted Net Revenues

For the first quarter of 2023, adjusted net revenues of $289.2 million decreased 26% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and 20% compared to the first quarter of 2022. Market conditions remain challenging as volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty have largely muted activity among our investment banking and fixed income clients, and throughout the industry. Our equity brokerage business performed well, registering the second strongest quarter of revenues on record. For the first quarter of 2023, investment banking generated 64% of total adjusted net revenues and institutional brokerage generated 33%.

Adjusted Operating Expenses

For the first quarter of 2023, adjusted operating expenses of $248.5 million decreased 21% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and 13% compared to the first quarter of 2022.

•Adjusted compensation ratio of 63.3% for the first quarter of 2023 increased compared to 62.3% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 62.5% for the first quarter of 2022 as a result of lower adjusted net revenues.

•Adjusted non-compensation expenses of $65.3 million for the first quarter of 2023 decreased 9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 due primarily to lower reimbursed deal costs as well as reduced outside services and occupancy and equipment expenses, offset in part by increased communications costs. Adjusted non-compensation expenses increased 8% compared to the first quarter of 2022 primarily resulting from the addition of our recent acquisitions to the platform.

Adjusted Operating Income

For the first quarter of 2023, adjusted operating income of $40.8 million decreased 46% compared to both the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2022.

•Adjusted operating margin of 14.1% for the first quarter of 2023 decreased compared to 19.3% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 20.8% for the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower adjusted net revenues and a higher adjusted non-compensation ratio.

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

For the first quarter of 2023, adjusted income tax expense included $14.1 million of tax benefits related to restricted stock awards vesting at values greater than the grant date price as well as accrued forfeitable dividends paid on acquisition-related restricted stock, which resulted in an overall adjusted income tax benefit. Excluding the impact of the tax benefits, our adjusted effective tax rate was 28.0% for the first quarter of 2023. For the fourth quarter of 2022, the adjusted effective tax rate of 19.0% was impacted by a $4.6 million reversal of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance on our U.K. legal entity, Piper Sandler Ltd. For the first quarter of 2022, the adjusted effective tax rate of 23.1% included $4.6 million of tax benefits related to restricted stock awards vesting at values greater than the grant date price.

Adjusted Net Income & Adjusted Earnings Per Share

For the first quarter of 2023, we generated adjusted net income of $42.3 million, or $2.35 of adjusted earnings per diluted common share. Results for the current quarter decreased compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2022 driven by lower adjusted net revenues and adjusted operating margin, offset in part by reduced adjusted income tax expense. Results for the current quarter included benefits recorded to adjusted income tax expense of $14.1 million, or $0.78 per adjusted diluted common share.

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), economic, geopolitical, and market conditions (including the outlook for equity markets, investment banking transactions, CEO confidence, and the interest rate environment), the financial performance of recently completed transactions (i.e., DBO Partners, Stamford Partners LLP, and Cornerstone Macro), areas of potential growth and market share gains for the company, 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, the payment of our quarterly and special cash dividends to our shareholders, our share repurchase program, the expected benefits and integration of our recently completed acquisitions of DBO Partners, Stamford Partners LLP and Cornerstone Macro, 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 expected benefits of our recently completed acquisitions of DBO Partners, Stamford Partners LLP and Cornerstone Macro 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, geopolitical 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, 2022 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, 2022, 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).
