Chairman’s Comments
“A challenging market environment contributed to a generally slow quarter for investment banking services and fixed income trading, which negatively impacted our results. Our recent acquisitions mitigated the revenue decline in our legacy businesses and also added to our operating expenses. As a result, compared to the 2nd quarter of 2015, revenues declined by $6.1 million while non-compensation operating expenses increased $13.0 million, resulting in a decline in pre-tax operating margin from 15.5% to 12.2%.,” stated Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and CEO of Stifel.
Kruszewski continued, “In the quarter, Stifel continued to build a premier balanced wealth management and institutional services company. Our operating model provides us tremendous leverage to invest in the future while at the same time providing shareholders a strong return. We are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities as they arrive and offer our clients excellent advice and services.
We expect the Barclays transaction, announced on June 8, 2015, to close on December 4, 2015. We are excited to welcome these highly talented associates to Stifel.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company utilized non-GAAP calculations of presented net revenues, compensation and benefits, non-compensation operating expenses, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, compensation and non-compensation operating expense ratios, pre-tax margin and diluted earnings per share as additional measures to aid in understanding and analyzing the Company’s financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. 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 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. These non-GAAP amounts primarily exclude acquisition related expenses which management believes are duplicative and will be eliminated, stock-based compensation and other expenses which in managements view are not representative of ongoing business.
A limitation of utilizing these non-GAAP measures of net revenues, compensation and benefits, non-compensation operating expenses, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, compensation and non-compensation operating expenses ratios, pre-tax margin and diluted earnings per share is that the GAAP accounting effects of these merger-related 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 of net revenues, compensation and benefits, non-compensation operating expenses, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, compensation and non-compensation operating expense ratios, pre-tax margin and diluted earnings per share 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 revenues, compensation and benefits, non-compensation operating expenses, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income, compensation and non-compensation operating expense ratios, pre-tax margin and diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 to the aforementioned expenses on a non-GAAP basis for the same period.
