Management Comments

“Our third quarter net revenues of $1.68 billion reflect strong performance and continued momentum in Investment Banking, with particularly strong performance in Advisory and demonstrating the successful ongoing execution of our strategy to drive the growth of our business. We are pleased with the strength and direction of our profit margin and return metrics, and are optimistic about the balance of this year and our outlook for 2025.

"Our Investment Banking net revenues of $949 million were up 18.2% from the prior quarter and 47.3% from the same quarter last year, driven by an increase in advisory activity attributable to market share gains reflecting the early benefits of the investments we have made in our platform over the past few years, as well as improving market conditions.

"Capital Markets net revenues of $671 million were down only 3.0% versus an exceptionally strong prior quarter. Capital Markets net revenues were up 28.1% from the same quarter last year, driven by solid overall market conditions and strength across our diversified Equities and Fixed Income businesses. Equities net revenues increased 42.3% from the prior year comparable quarter, with strong performance in our cash and electronic businesses. Fixed Income net revenues increased 13.2% from the prior year comparable quarter, primarily reflecting strength across our credit trading businesses.

"While the market environment for certain of our Asset Management strategies proved challenging in the third quarter, our full year results are encouraging. Furthermore, we are very happy to have closed on the sale of OpNet during the quarter, the last in a series of transactions that monetized a substantial portion of our legacy merchant-banking assets. Achieving that goal further accelerates our efforts to build the very best ‘pure play’ global investment banking and capital markets firm.

"Our Investment Banking pipeline remains strong heading into year-end and momentum across all of our business lines continues. We feel we have the right (and expanded) global team that is positioned exceptionally well to serve our clients, especially in a backdrop of declining interest rates and increasing activity driven by pent up demand for capital markets and advisory deal flow. After our heavy recent investment in human capital during the slowdown, now is the time for us to focus on executing for our clients and enhancing our overall market position around the world."

Richard Handler, CEO, and Brian Friedman, President

Quarterly Results 2024 Versus 2023

 

Year-to-Date Results 2024 Versus 2023

  • We had 205.5 million common shares outstanding and 253.8 million common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis2 at August 31, 2024. Our book value per common share was $48.89 and tangible book value per fully diluted share3 was $31.87.
  • Effective tax rate of 30.9%. The lower tax rate compared to the prior year quarter of 40.8% is primarily due to the higher amount of pre-tax income in the current quarter.

  • Effective tax rate of 29.6%. The higher tax rate compared to the prior year period of 28.1% is primarily due to the smaller impact from share based awards.

Investment Banking and Capital Markets

 

Investment Banking and Capital Markets

  • Investment Banking net revenues of $949 million were 47% higher than the prior year quarter, with particular strength within Advisory.
  • Advisory net revenues of $592 million represents our best quarter on record and was higher than the prior year quarter, due to market share gains and increased global mergers and acquisitions activity.
  • Underwriting net revenues of $333 million increased from the prior year quarter, driven by stronger leveraged finance activity. Equity underwriting net revenues remained flat compared to the prior year quarter.
  • Capital Markets net revenues of $671 million were higher compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to stronger performance in Equities attributable to increased volumes and more favorable trading opportunities, while Fixed Income net revenues increased primarily reflecting stronger results across our credit trading businesses.

 

  • Investment Banking net revenues of $2.49 billion were 46% higher than the prior year, with strength across all lines of business attributable primarily to market share gains in a stronger overall market for our services.
  • Advisory net revenues of $1.21 billion were higher than prior year period, attributable primarily to market share gains.
  • Underwriting net revenues of $1.13 billion increased from the prior year period, due to increased activity from both equity and debt underwriting.
  • Capital Markets net revenues of $2.07 billion were higher compared to the prior year period primarily driven by stronger Equities net revenues attributable to continued market share gains during the period. Fixed Income net revenues remained consistent from the prior year period.

Asset Management

 

Asset Management

  • Asset Management net revenues of $59 million were substantially higher than the prior year quarter, as Other investments13 net revenues were meaningfully higher due to the consolidation of Stratos and Tessellis, which resulted in increased revenues, as well as the absence this year of losses in OpNet incurred in the prior year quarter. Investment return net revenues decreased from the prior year quarter as the market environment for certain of our strategies proved challenging during the current quarter.

 

  • Asset Management net revenues of $489 million were substantially higher than the prior year period, as Investment return net revenues improved due to stronger performance across multiple investment strategies and funds. In addition, Other investments13 net revenues were meaningfully higher than the prior year period largely due to the consolidation of Stratos and Tessellis which resulted in increased revenues.

Notes

  1. Annualized adjusted net earnings to shareholders on adjusted tangible shareholders' equity from continuing operations represents a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to schedule on page 10 for a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP amounts.
  2. Shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as common shares outstanding plus preferred shares, restricted stock units, stock options and other shares. Refer to schedule on page 11 for a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP amounts.
  3. Adjusted tangible book value per fully diluted share (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as adjusted tangible book value (a non-GAAP financial measure) divided by shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis (a non-GAAP financial measure). Refer to schedule on page 11 for a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP amounts.
  4. Allocated net interest represents an allocation to Asset Management of certain of our long-term debt interest expense, net of interest income on our Cash and cash equivalents and other sources of liquidity. Allocated net interest has been disaggregated to increase transparency and to present direct Asset Management revenues. We believe that aggregating Allocated net interest would obscure the revenue results by including an amount that is unique to our credit spreads, debt maturity profile, capital structure, liquidity risks and allocation methods.
  5. Allocated net interest is not separately disaggregated for Investment Banking and Capital Markets. This presentation is aligned to our Investment Banking and Capital Markets internal performance measurement.
  6. Asset management fees and revenues include management and performance fees from funds and accounts managed by us as well as our share of fees received by affiliated asset management companies with which we have revenue and profit share arrangements, as well as earnings on our ownership interest in affiliated asset managers.
  7. Number of trading loss days is calculated based on trading activities in our Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management business segments, excluding certain Other investments.
  8. VaR estimates the potential loss in value of trading positions due to adverse market movements over a one-day time horizon with a 95% confidence level. For a further discussion of the calculation of VaR, see "Value-at-Risk" in Part II, Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023.
  9. Level 3 financial instruments represent those financial instruments classified as such under Accounting Standards Codification 820, accounted for at fair value and included within Financial instruments owned.
  10. Tangible shareholders' equity (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as shareholders' equity less Intangible assets and goodwill. We believe that tangible shareholders' equity is meaningful for valuation purposes, as financial companies are often measured as a multiple of tangible shareholders' equity, making these ratios meaningful for investors.
  11. Leverage ratio equals total assets divided by total equity.
  12. Tangible gross leverage ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) equals total assets less goodwill and intangible assets divided by tangible shareholders' equity. The tangible gross leverage ratio is used by rating agencies in assessing our leverage ratio.
  13. Beginning in fiscal 2024, we now refer to "Merchant banking" as “Other investments” in our Asset Management reportable segment.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

The following tables reconcile our non-GAAP financial measures to their respective U.S. GAAP financial measures. Management believes such non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they allow them to view our results through the eyes of management, while facilitating a comparison across historical periods. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
