Chairman's Comments

"We had a very strong quarter as we generated our third consecutive quarter of record net revenue and our non-GAAP pre-tax margins reached 16.3%, the highest level since the fourth quarter of 2010. Our revenues benefited from another record quarter from Global Wealth Management and record net revenue in our Institutional Group driven by record investment banking revenues. Given the increased contributions from more stable revenue streams such as our bank and fee-based accounts, Stifel's top and bottom lines are much better positioned to withstand the cyclicality in certain of our more transactional businesses then we were just a few years ago. Additionally, this quarter illustrated the positive impact that our investments in our investment banking franchise can have our top and bottom lines, despite the challenging environment for institutional brokerage," stated Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman & CEO of Stifel.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 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 and earnings per diluted common share on a GAAP basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 to net income and earnings per diluted common share on a non-GAAP basis for the same period.

     16.3% is calculated by adding litigation and merger-related and        
     severance non-GAAP adjustments of $34.8 million to our GAAP income

(6)  Non-GAAP pre-tax margin for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of 15.5%

     taxes of $162.2 million and dividing it by non-GAAP net revenues for

(7)  Computed by dividing annualized net income by average common           
     shareholders' equity or, in the case of non-GAAP return on common      
     equity, computed by dividing non-GAAP net income by average common
