Chairman’s Comments

“Stifel’s performance in 2020 was a testament to the strength of our business model as we were able to navigate market challenges and generated our 25^th consecutive year of record net revenue. We entered the year expecting two of our primary growth drivers to be continued strength in net interest income and advisory revenue. However, following the pandemic outbreak, Stifel and our associates were able to successfully pivot to the subsequent changes in the market environment and we finished the year with record results from our brokerage and capital raising businesses. Our record revenue also generated record non-GAAP earnings per share of $4.56 and non-GAAP return on tangible equity of nearly 25%,” stated Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stifel.

Mr. Kruszewski continued, “We entered 2021 with record recruiting and investment banking pipelines, record client assets, and more than $500 million of excess capital. These factors, combined with our long history of profitable growth, drive my optimism for 2021 and beyond.”

Non-Compensation Operating Expenses

For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, non-compensation operating expenses were $203.9 million, which included $10.4 million of merger-related expenses (non-GAAP adjustments). This compares with $214.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $191.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. Excluding the non-GAAP adjustments, non-compensation operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 were 18.3% (non-GAAP measure).

The decrease in non-compensation operating expenses compared with the fourth quarter of 2019 was primarily due to significantly lower travel, entertainment, and conference-related expenses. In addition, the provision for credit losses and net provisions for litigation matters were lower. These decreases were partially offset by higher volume-related expenses, including investment banking transaction expenses, reflecting an increase in activity levels. In addition, occupancy expense and professional fees were higher.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, non-compensation operating expenses were $821.6 million, which included $30.1 million of merger-related expenses (non-GAAP adjustments), compared with $759.8 million in 2019. Excluding the non-GAAP adjustments, non-compensation operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were 21.1% (non-GAAP measure).

The increase in non-compensation operating expenses compared with 2019 was primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for credit losses as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the broader economic environment (incorporating the impact of accounting for credit losses under the CECL standard)⁽⁸⁾ and higher volume-related expenses, including investment banking transaction expenses, reflecting an increase in activity levels. In addition, occupancy expense and professional fees were higher. These increases were partially offset by significant decreases in travel, entertainment, and conference-related expenses as a result of the global pandemic.

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 December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2020 and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. 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 and earnings per diluted common share on a GAAP basis for the three months ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2020, and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 to net income and earnings per diluted common share on a non-GAAP basis for the same period.
