MINNEAPOLIS--()--Piper Jaffray Companies (NYSE: PJC) today announced that for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012, net income from continuing operations was $13.5 million, or $0.72 per diluted common share. These results compared to $3.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, in the year-ago period and $11.3 million, or $0.58 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2012. For the third quarter of 2012, net revenues from continuing operations were $133.0 million, compared to $95.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $104.5 million in the second quarter of 2012.
“Our performance reflects robust fixed income institutional brokerage revenues—particularly strategic trading, our decision to exit the Hong Kong capital markets business, additional cost reductions taking effect, and solid market share in public finance and public equity offerings.”
The firm announced on July 25th that it would exit the Hong Kong capital markets business and further disclosed on Aug. 24th that the exit would be effected through a shutdown of the business. The results from this business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
“In the third quarter, our continuing operations performed well and we are pleased with our results,” said Andrew S. Duff, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our performance reflects robust fixed income institutional brokerage revenues—particularly strategic trading, our decision to exit the Hong Kong capital markets business, additional cost reductions taking effect, and solid market share in public finance and public equity offerings.”
For the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012, net income, including continuing and discontinued operations, was $19.7 million, or $1.11 per diluted common share, an improvement from a net loss of $3.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2011, and up from $6.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2012.
For the first nine months of 2012, net income, including continuing and discontinued operations, was $29.4 million, or $1.60 per diluted common share, up from $14.3 million, or $0.74 per diluted common share, in the first nine months of last year.
Third Quarter Results from Continuing Operations
Consolidated
Expenses
For the third quarter of 2012, compensation and benefits expenses were $78.7 million, up 30% and 24% compared to the third quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012, respectively, due to improved financial results.
For the third quarter of 2012, compensation and benefits expenses were 59.2% of net revenues, down from 63.1% and 60.6% for the third quarter of 2011 and second quarter of 2012, respectively. The improvement was mainly driven by the significant financial contribution from fixed income strategic trading in the current quarter.
Non-compensation expenses were $31.5 million, in line with the firm’s current quarterly goal, and compared to $30.2 million in the year-ago period and $35.7 million (including a $3.6 million restructuring charge) in the second quarter of 2012.
Business Segment Results
The firm has two reportable
business segments: Capital Markets and Asset Management. Consolidated
net revenues and expenses are fully allocated to these two segments. The
firm’s Hong Kong capital markets business is presented as discontinued
operations for all periods presented.
Capital Markets
For the quarter, Capital Markets generated
pre-tax operating income of $20.6 million, a significant increase
compared to $3.7 million in the year-ago period and $1.8 million in the
second quarter of 2012.
Net revenues were $115.2 million, up 42% and 32% compared to the year-ago period and the second quarter of 2012, respectively.
- Equity financing revenues of $18.8 million increased 186% and 43% compared to the third quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012, respectively. Similar to the industry, the firm raised more capital during the quarter. Also, the firm’s average revenue per transaction was higher than prior periods.
- Fixed income financing revenues were $16.6 million, up 49% compared to the prior-year quarter, when activity was particularly low. Fixed income financing revenues decreased 26% compared to the strong sequential second quarter, due to fewer transactions completed offset in part by higher average revenue per transaction.
- Advisory services revenues were $16.3 million, down 40% compared to a very strong third quarter of 2011. Advisory services revenues rose 12% compared to the second quarter of 2012. Higher revenue per transaction more than offset fewer completed transactions.
- Equity institutional brokerage revenues were $17.9 million, down 19% compared to the third quarter of 2011 and up 8% compared to the second quarter of 2012. Revenues continue to be negatively impacted by both low client volumes and low volatility.
- Fixed income institutional brokerage revenues were $46.7 million, up significantly compared to the third quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012. Revenues from client-related activity were higher. Results from the firm’s strategic trading business were very robust, particularly in the mortgage-backed securities strategy, and drove the majority of the improvement versus the comparable quarters.
- Operating expenses for the third quarter were $94.7 million, up from the comparable quarter, mainly resulting from higher compensation expenses due to improved operating results, offset in part by lower non-compensation expenses.
- For the third quarter of 2012, the segment pre-tax operating margin improved to 17.9%, compared to 4.6% and 2.0% in the year-ago period and the second quarter of 2012, respectively. The increase was mainly driven by the contribution from fixed income institutional brokerage.
Asset Management
For the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012, asset
management generated pre-tax operating income of $2.1 million, up 50%
compared to the third quarter of 2011 and down 43% compared to the
second quarter of 2012. Net revenues were $17.7 million, up 23% and 5%
compared to the third quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012,
respectively. Increased revenues were primarily driven by higher
management fees and gains on firm investments.
- Operating expenses for the quarter were $15.6 million, up 20% and 18% compared to the third quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012, respectively. The higher expenses were mainly driven by increased non-compensation expenses, specifically, higher legal fees and a legal reserve relating to a Fiduciary Asset Management (FAMCO) matter dating back several years. Segment pre-tax operating margin was 12.1%, compared to 9.8% in the year-ago period and 22.1% in the second quarter of 2012.
- Assets under management (AUM) were $13.8 billion compared to $11.2 billion in the year-ago period and $12.7 billion in the second quarter of 2012. Compared to the sequential second quarter the increase in AUM was driven by market appreciation and positive net cash flows.
Third Quarter Results from Discontinued Operations
Discontinued
operations include the operating results of the Hong Kong capital
markets business, which the firm has shut down.
For the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012, net income from discontinued operations was $6.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2011, or $0.45 per diluted share, and a net loss of $3.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012.
The firm will realize net cash proceeds of approximately $19 million, net of restructuring charges, which is above the top end of the firm’s range disclosed in the second quarter. Substantially all items related to the shut down of the Hong Kong business have been recorded in the third quarter.

| (1) | Annualized quarterly return on average adjusted common shareholders' equity | ||||||||||||||
| Adjusted common shareholders’ equity equals total common shareholders’ equity, including goodwill associated with acquisitions, less goodwill resulting from the 1998 acquisition of our predecessor company, Piper Jaffray Companies Inc., by U.S. Bancorp. Annualized return on average adjusted common shareholders’ equity is computed by dividing annualized net income by average monthly adjusted common shareholders’ equity. Management believes that annualized return on adjusted common shareholders’ equity is a meaningful measure of performance because it reflects equity deployed in our businesses after our spin off from U.S. Bancorp on December 31, 2003. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of common shareholders’ equity to adjusted common shareholders’ equity. Common shareholders’ equity is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted common shareholders’ equity. | |||||||||||||||

| Tangible shareholders’ equity equals total shareholders’ equity less all goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Tangible book value per share is computed by dividing tangible shareholders’ equity by common shares outstanding. Management believes that tangible book value per share is a more meaningful measure of our book value per share. Shareholders’ equity is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to tangible shareholders’ equity.
