FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STIFEL REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS
•GAAP EPS of $0.21
•Adjusted Non-GAAP EPS of $0.69
ST. LOUIS, November 2, 2016 – Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported net income available to common shareholders of $16.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share on net revenues of $642.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared with net income of $17.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, on net revenues of $591.6 million for the third quarter of 2015.
The GAAP results for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were impacted by the following:
| • | Anticipated merger-related charges of approximately $46.7 million, primarily for the Barclays Wealth and Investment Management, Americas and Sterne Agee Group, Inc. transactions; |
| • | Litigation-related expenses of approximately $11.8 million associated with previously disclosed legal matters; and |
| • | The write-off of debt issuance costs and other acquisition-related items of approximately $3.8 million that reduced GAAP net revenues. |
Taken together, these items impacted net income available to common shareholders by $36.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted common share.
Chairman’s Comments
“I am pleased with our results as Stifel generated $642 million in GAAP net revenue in the quarter. Excluding the revenue tied to the Sterne Agee businesses that we sold at the beginning of the quarter, GAAP net revenue increased 2% sequentially driven by our Global Wealth Management and Advisory businesses. We continue to benefit from the growth in our balance sheet, which increased to more than $17 billion during the quarter. In addition, our bottom line was positively impacted by our recently implemented cost reduction initiatives as adjusted non-compensation expense came in below our guidance for the quarter,” stated Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and CEO of Stifel.
“Despite the progress we continue to make in our growth initiatives, the industry continues to face headwinds from lower trading volumes and subdued issuance markets as well as from heightened regulatory oversight. While these conditions can weigh on results from time to time, we remain focused on maximizing shareholder returns over the longer-term. Given our market position and our strong and growing balance sheet, I believe that Stifel remains well positioned to capitalize on near-term opportunities as well as long-term profitable growth.”

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 September 30, 2016. 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 on a GAAP basis for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to net income on a non-GAAP basis for the same period.

The SEC issued new interpretative guidance on the use of non-GAAP financial measures on May 17, 2016. Based on new SEC guidance, the Company will no longer report certain adjustments to non-GAAP EPS, such as duplicative acquisition expenses. While the Company did not have any duplicative expenses in its third quarter 2016 results, the table below illustrates the impact of excluding duplicative expenses on our adjusted non-GAAP EPS for the periods noted.
| | Three Months Ended | | | Nine Months Ended | | | Year Ended | |
| | 6/30/16 | | | 3/31/16 | | | 12/31/15 | | | 9/30/15 | | | 9/30/16 | | | 9/30/15 | | | 12/31/15 | |

| (1) | Excludes duplicative costs of $14.7 million, $13.3 million, $23.4 million, and $27.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015, and September 30, 2015, respectively. Excludes duplicative costs of $28.0 million, $46.8 million, and $70.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively. |
The Company will continue to report GAAP and adjusted non-GAAP financial measures, and, in addition, the Company will separately report financial data that will permit investors to calculate measures comparable to our historical non-GAAP financial measures.
