Stifel Reports Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results
“I am very pleased with our performance this quarter and year-to-date as total net revenue in the second quarter was up 2% year-onyear driven by a nearly 20% increase in our recurring revenues. Additionally, the growth in higher margin businesses such as our bank helped to drive our quarterly compensation ratio to its lowest level in more than seven years. This resulted in a 36% year-on-year increase in non-GAAP EPS as well as a nearly 15% return on common equity and a 24% return on tangible common equity in the quarter. Barring a significant change in market conditions in the second half of the year, we expect that increases in investment banking and recruiting activity, along with continued balance sheet growth and a more favorable compensation ratio, will lead to improved results versus the first half of the year.”

Stifel Announces Common Stock Cash Dividend
"Management and our board of directors consistently focus on shareholder returns, whether through investments in new initiatives, acquisitions, share repurchases, or now, dividends on our common stock. Stifel continues to be a growth company but given the strength of our balance sheet and the increased diversity of our business, we are generating significant amounts of excess capital and we believe that a dividend is now appropriate. That said, we will continue to evaluate opportunities that maximize the risk adjusted returns on our capital for the benefit of our common shareholders."

Stifel Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-year 2016 Financial Results
"I’m very happy to announce we posted our 21st consecutive year of record net revenues despite what was a challenging operating environment for the vast majority of the year. The business we’ve built over the past 20 years continues to benefit from the diversity of our revenue streams and is well positioned if the post-election market optimism continues. Our results underscore this diversity as the investments we made in 2015 helped drive substantial growth in net interest income, asset management & service fees, fixed income brokerage and trading, and advisory revenue. These more than offset weaker institutional commissions and underwriting revenue"
"The improved market environment is a solid backdrop for continued organic revenue growth in 2017 and we will continue look to deploy our excess capital in ways that generate the best returns. However, as we continue to grow our top line, we will put increased emphasis on improved operating leverage through expense efficiencies. In 2016, we illustrated our commitment to meeting our expense expectations as our comp. and non-comp. expenses consistently fell within our guidance. We have instituted a firm-wide cost reduction initiative that I expect will continue to generate positive results that will ultimately result in improved operating margins. Lastly, I’d note that the vast majority of our non-GAAP deal related charges are behind us and as we have consistently stated over the past year, we expect the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP results in 2017 will be materially less than our 2016 results."
