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 should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

ADJUSTED OPERATING EXPENSES
For the second quarter of 2024, adjusted operating expenses of $295.1 million increased 6% compared to the first quarter of 2024 and 18% compared to the second quarter of 2023.
•Adjusted compensation ratio of 62.9% for the second quarter of 2024 decreased compared to 63.1% for the first quarter of 2024 and 63.8% for the second quarter of 2023 driven by higher adjusted net revenues.
•Adjusted non-compensation expenses of $70.7 million for the second quarter of 2024 increased 5% compared to the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to higher communications expenses related to market data services as well as increased outside services expenses associated with recruiting and placement fees. Adjusted non-compensation expenses for the second quarter of 2024 decreased 4% compared to the second quarter of 2023 due to lower other operating expenses and reimbursed deal expenses. Other operating expenses for the second quarter of 2023 included the write-off of a $7.5 million uncollectible receivable in our municipal financing business.
ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME
For the second quarter of 2024, adjusted operating income of $61.6 million increased 10% compared to the first quarter of 2024 and 134% compared to the second quarter of 2023.
•Adjusted operating margin of 17.3% for the second quarter of 2024 increased compared to 16.8% for the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to higher adjusted net revenues. Adjusted operating margin for the current quarter increased compared to 9.5% for the second quarter of 2023 due to higher adjusted net revenues, a lower adjusted compensation ratio and reduced adjusted non-compensation expenses.
ADJUSTED EFFECTIVE TAX RATE
For the second quarter of 2024, our adjusted effective tax rate of 26.6% increased compared to 18.2% for the second quarter of 2023 which benefited from lower non-deductible expenses. For the first quarter of 2024, the adjusted effective tax rate of 10.7% included $10.6 million of tax benefits related to restricted stock award vestings.
ADJUSTED NET INCOME & ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
For the second quarter of 2024, we generated adjusted net income of $45.2 million, or $2.52 of adjusted earnings per diluted common share. Results for the second quarter of 2024 decreased compared to the first quarter of 2024 which included $10.6 million, or $0.59 per adjusted diluted common share, of income tax benefits related to restricted stock award vestings. Results for the second quarter of 2024 increased compared to the second quarter of 2023 due to higher adjusted net revenues and adjusted operating margin, offset in part by a higher adjusted effective tax rate.

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), 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 pending transactions (i.e., Aviditi Advisors), 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 (e.g., proposed regulatory settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)), 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 pending acquisition of Aviditi Advisors, 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:
•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;
•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 pending acquisition of Aviditi Advisors may take longer than anticipated to achieve or may not be achieved in its 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 business 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;
•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, 2023 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, 2023, 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).
