non-GAAP financial
"Non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders was $237.5 million, or $1.45 per diluted common share"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
pre-tax margin financial
"Pre-tax margin on net revenues increased to 22.1% from 5.0% in the prior-year quarter"
Pre-tax margin is a measure of a company's profitability that shows how much profit it makes before paying taxes, expressed as a percentage of its revenue. It indicates how efficiently a company is generating profit from its sales before tax expenses are considered. Investors use pre-tax margin to compare companies' core profitability and to assess operational performance regardless of varying tax situations.
return on tangible common equity financial
"Non-GAAP return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) was 24.8% versus 6.2% a year ago"
Return on tangible common equity measures how much profit a company generates from the real, spendable capital that belongs to common shareholders, shown as a percentage. It strips out intangible items like goodwill to focus on the “hard” equity and tells investors how efficiently the firm uses that tangible capital to create earnings—think of it as the return on the cash you actually have rather than on paper values or goodwill.
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio financial
"Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 18.7% as of March 31, 2026"
A Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio measures a bank’s core financial cushion—its highest-quality capital such as common equity—relative to the size and risk of its assets, where riskier loans count for more. Think of it as the safety margin a bank keeps against losses compared to the amount and riskiness of what it owns; investors use it to judge a bank’s solvency, regulatory strength, and ability to withstand shocks or sustain payouts.
provision for credit losses financial
"Provision for credit losses was $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026"
Provision for credit losses is an amount set aside by a financial institution to cover potential future losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution manage risks and stay financially healthy. For investors, it signals how cautious a lender is about potential loan defaults and can impact the company's profitability and financial stability.

Represents available to common shareholders.

  (3)

Reconciliations of the Company’s GAAP results to these non-GAAP measures are discussed within and under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”

  (4)

Non-GAAP pre-tax margin is calculated by adding total merger-related expenses (non-GAAP adjustments) and dividing it by non-GAAP net revenues. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”

  (5)

Return on average common equity (“ROCE”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing full year or annualized net income applicable to common shareholders by average common shareholders’ equity.

  (6)

Return on average tangible common equity (“ROTCE”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing full year or annualized net income applicable to common shareholders by average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity, also a non-GAAP financial measure, equals total common shareholders’ equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets and the deferred taxes on goodwill and intangible assets. Average deferred taxes on goodwill and intangible assets were $92.5 million and $82.5 million as of March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

  (7)

Total client assets and fee-based client assets as of March 31, 2025, include $9.0 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively, of client assets from the Stifel Independent Advisors business that was sold on February 2, 2026.

  (8)

Includes loans held for sale.

  (9)

Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents shareholders’ equity (excluding preferred stock) divided by period end common shares outstanding.

  (10)

Capital ratios are estimates at the time of the Company’s earnings release, April 22, 2026.

  (11)

The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The Company may disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures” during its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a “non-GAAP financial measure” as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude, or include, amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company are provided as additional information to analysts, investors and other stakeholders in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing the Company’s financial condition or operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever the Company refers to a non-GAAP financial measure, it will also define it or present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure it references and such comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

  (12)

Gain recognized on the sale of Stifel Independent Advisors, LLC during the first quarter of 2026.

  (13)

Primarily related to prejudgment interest recognized on legal matters.

  (14)

Primarily related to charges attributable to integration-related activities, signing bonuses, amortization of restricted stock awards, debentures, and promissory notes issued as retention, additional earn-out expense, and amortization of intangible assets acquired. These costs were directly related to acquisitions of certain businesses and are not representative of the costs of running the Company’s on-going business.

  (15)

The Company recorded severance costs associated with workforce reductions in certain of its foreign subsidiaries.

  (16)

Primarily represents the Company’s effective tax rate for the period applied to the non-GAAP adjustments.

Tangible common equity, also a non-GAAP financial measure, equals total common shareholders’ equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets and the deferred taxes on goodwill and intangible assets. Average deferred taxes on goodwill and intangible assets was $92.5 million, $82.5 million, and $90.7 million, as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and December 31, 2025, respectively.

  (15)      The Company sweeps certain commercial treasury deposits to third-party banks, which can be brought back on balance sheet to support liquidity needs.
  (16)      Includes Smart Rate Deposits, Sweep Deposits, Third-party Bank Sweep Program, and Other Sweep Cash.

Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve significant risks, assumptions, and uncertainties, including statements relating to the market opportunity and future business prospects of Stifel Financial Corp., as well as Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and its subsidiaries (collectively, “SF” or the “Company”). These statements can be identified by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “potential,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” and similar expressions.

All statements not dealing with historical results are forward-looking and are based on various assumptions. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the statements. For information about the risks and important factors that could affect the Company’s future results, financial condition and liquidity, see “Risk Factors” in Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The Company may disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures” in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a “non-GAAP financial measure” as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude, or include, amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company are provided as additional information to analysts, investors and other stakeholders in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing the Company’s financial condition or operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever the Company refers to a non-GAAP financial measure, it will also define it or present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure it references and such comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

Legal Notice

The Company may disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures” in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a “non-GAAP financial measure” as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude, or include, amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company are provided as additional information to analysts, investors and other stakeholders in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing the Company’s financial condition or operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever the Company refers to a non-GAAP financial measure, it will also define it or present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure it references and such comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
