Chairman's Comments

"We are pleased with the results from the second quarter as we posted a second consecutive quarter of record revenue and increased adjusted EPS by 21% sequentially, despite a less than ideal market environment. The diversity of our business model was again illustrated by a rebound in investment banking activity and growth in our bank, which more than offset the sequential decline in brokerage revenue from the first quarter's record levels. Although the market environment remains challenged, as macro level events in the first half of 2016 led to spikes in volatility that weighed on investor and corporate activity, we believe that Stifel remains well positioned to capitalize as the markets improve," stated Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and CEO of Stifel.

"In the past month, we have sold off the lower margin legacy businesses from the Sterne Agee acquisition, raised preferred equity, and refinanced higher cost debt. These actions have further strengthened our already strong balance sheet and will facilitate our continued efforts to optimize our capital base and increase shareholder returns."

Brokerage Revenues

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 June 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 amounts primarily exclude acquisition related expenses which management believes are duplicative and will be eliminated and other expenses which in management's view are not representative of on-going business.

A limitation of utilizing these non-GAAP measures 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 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 GAAP measures for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the aforementioned expenses on a non-GAAP basis for the same period.

Duplicative expenses - Expenses related to items that will run-off as we integrate the acquired business into the Company. These expenses included salaries and benefits, rent, licenses and subscriptions. Management considers these a cost of the acquisition and not representative of the costs of running the Company's on-going business; therefore, the duplicative costs are included as adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP net income.

Acquisition-related expenses - Primarily related to charges attributable to integration-related activities, signing bonuses, amortization of restricted stock awards and promissory notes issued as retention, professional fees and legal costs. These costs were directly related to the acquisition and are not representative of the costs of running the Company's on-going business.

Stock-based compensation expense - On June 30, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors removed the continuing service requirements associated with restricted stock units that were granted to certain employees of Barclays in December 2015. As a result of the modification, there are no continuing service requirements associated with these restricted stock units, and accordingly, all unrecognized expense related to these awards were expensed in the second quarter of 2016. The Company views the expensing of restricted stock units related to the acquisition and not representative of the costs of running the Company's on-going business.
