Peter A. Cohen, Chairman and CEO of Cowen Group said, “We reported a profitable second quarter with economic income of $1.5 million. The broker-dealer’s banking and equities businesses reported their best revenue quarter in years. The changes we made in recent years are contributing to our improved results. Ramius is seeing positive momentum across a number of the capabilities on our platform with solid performance and a strong pipeline of client interest. Our fixed expenses as a percent of revenue declined year over year, even with a full quarter of Dahlman Rose in the second quarter numbers. I am encouraged to see results improving across our business units. However, we have a lot more to accomplish in the upcoming quarters in what continues to be a challenging environment.”

Economic Income (Loss)
Throughout the remainder of this press release the Company presents Economic Income financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). In general, Economic Income (Loss) is a pre-tax measure that (i) eliminates the impact of consolidation for consolidated funds, (ii) excludes equity award expense related to the November 2009 Ramius/Cowen
transaction, and (iii) excludes certain other acquisition-related and/or reorganization expenses. In addition, Economic Income (Loss) revenues include investment income that represents the income the Company has earned in investing its own capital, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, interest and dividends, net of associated investment related expenses. For US GAAP purposes, these items are included in each of their respective line items. Economic Income (Loss) revenues also include management fees, incentive income and investment income earned through the Company’s investment as a general partner in certain real estate entities and the Company’s investment in the Value and Opportunity business. For US GAAP purposes, all of these items are recorded in other income (loss). In addition, Economic Income (Loss) expenses are reduced by reimbursement from affiliates, which for US GAAP purposes is presented gross as part of revenue.
For a more complete description of Economic Income (Loss) and a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Economic Income (Loss) for the periods presented and additional information regarding the reconciling adjustments, please see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this press release.
The table below summarizes the Company’s Economic Income financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and March 31, 2013; and the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

2013 Second Quarter Economic Income Review
Total Economic Income Revenue
Total economic income revenue for the second quarter 2013 was $81.1 million, a 22% increase compared to $66.2 million in the second quarter 2012. The increase in economic income revenue was primarily the result of an increase in investment banking and brokerage revenue, partially offset by a decrease in investment income.

Compensation and Benefits Expense
The compensation to economic income revenue ratio declined in the second quarter 2013 to 59% from 63% in the prior year period. The decrease in the compensation to revenue ratio is the result of a 15% increase in total compensation and a 22% increase in revenues compared to the prior year period.
Second quarter 2013 compensation and benefits expense was $47.7 million, a 15% increase compared to $41.6 million in the second quarter 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in headcount due to the acquisition of Dahlman Rose in the first quarter of 2013. Total headcount at the end of the second quarter 2013 was 636, a 6% increase compared to the prior year period and 1% lower compared to the first quarter of 2013.
Compensation and benefits expense for the second quarter 2013 and 2012 included $4.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively, in share-based compensation expense. There was no equity award expense related to the 2009 Cowen / Ramius business combination in the second quarter of 2013. However, in the second quarter 2012, compensation and benefits expense excluded $1.7 million related to this equity award expense.
Excluding $1.3 million of expenses associated with activities for which the Company is reimbursed and $0.6 million of severance expense, compensation and benefits expense was 56% of revenue in the second quarter 2013. Excluding these same two items, compensation and benefits expense was 60% and 55% of revenue in the prior year period and first quarter 2013, respectively.
Fixed Non-Compensation Expenses
Fixed non-compensation expenses in the current quarter decreased by 3% to $23.8 million as compared to $24.5 million in the comparable prior year quarter. This was primarily due to a reduction in accounting, legal and recruitment fees. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in occupancy and depreciation and amortization costs related to the Dahlman Rose acquisition.
Variable Non-Compensation Expenses
Variable non-compensation expenses were $8.6 million in the second quarter 2013, up 20% compared to $7.1 million in the second quarter 2012. The increase in floor brokerage and trade execution relate to two acquisitions completed during second and fourth quarter of 2012 and one in the first quarter of 2013 which generated increased trading costs and is in line with the increase in associated revenues. Marketing and business development expenses were higher in the quarter due to increased marketing activity firm wide.
Alternative Investment Segment (“Ramius”)
Assets Under Management
As of July 1, 2013, the Company had assets under management of $9.0 billion. Total AUM increased by $970 million since the start of the year and grew $110 million from April 1, 2013. The second quarter of 2013 included $317 million in net subscriptions, $74 million of net positive performance offset by a $281 million reduction in AUM related to currency hedging for Australian dollar-denominated mandates. $105 million of the AUM growth in the quarter was the result of committed capital for which management fees are not charged until capital is called.
Management Fees and Incentive Income
In the second quarter 2013, management fees were $14.6 million, unchanged from the year ago quarter 2012.
The average annualized management fee charged in the second quarter 2013 was 0.65%, as compared to 0.67% in the first quarter and 0.71% in the prior year period. The second quarter of 2012 figure excludes fees related to cash management assets.
Incentive income increased to $3.8 million in the second quarter 2013 from an incentive fee of $2.6 million in the prior year period.
Investment Income
Investment income represents net revenues generated on our invested capital and includes interest and dividend income received or accrued as well as realized and unrealized gains/losses recognized during the period. In the second quarter 2013, investment income decreased by $4.7 million to $3.6 million from $8.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease primarily relates to a decrease in the performance of the Company’s own invested capital driven by decreases in performance in certain investment strategies including our credit, PIPEs and equities strategies.
Broker-Dealer Segment (“Cowen and Company”)
Brokerage
Brokerage revenue was $33.3 million in the second quarter 2013, an increase of $8.7 million, or 36%, compared to the second quarter 2012. The increase in the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in commissions earned related to the Company’s electronic trading and cash equities business. The increase in commission is partially attributable to an increase in the number of stocks covered as a result of the acquisition of Dahlman Rose.
Investment Banking
Investment banking revenue was $25.6 million in the second quarter 2013, an increase of $9.3 million, or 57%, compared to $16.3 million in the second quarter 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in equity underwriting and debt capital markets activity.
· Public equity underwriting revenue was $15.9 million from sixteen transactions in the second quarter 2013, as compared to $5.6 million from eleven transactions in the comparable prior year period. All of the transactions were lead managed assignments in the second quarter 2013, compared to four in the prior year period.
· Debt capital markets revenue was $6.8 million from the completion of four transactions in the second quarter 2013. Two transactions were completed in the prior year period totaling $5.6 million.
· Private placement and registered direct revenue was $0.3 million in the second quarter 2013, as compared to $3.3 million in the second quarter 2012. The Company completed one private transaction in the second quarter 2013 and three in the year ago quarter.
· Strategic advisory revenue was $2.2 million in the second quarter 2013, as compared to $1.7 million in the second quarter 2012. The Company completed three strategic advisory transactions in the second quarter 2013 as compared to one strategic advisory transaction in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results presented above in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company presents financial measures that are non-GAAP measures, such as Economic Income (Loss) and Economic Income (Loss) excluding certain non-cash items. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Company’s reported GAAP results, provide useful information to investors regarding its performance and overall results of operations. These metrics are an integral part of the Company’s internal reporting to measure the performance of its businesses and the overall effectiveness of senior management. Reconciliations to comparable GAAP measures are available in the accompanying schedules. The non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other public companies, and are not identical to corresponding measures used in our various agreements or public filings.
Economic Income (Loss)
Economic Income (Loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other public companies. Cowen uses Economic Income (Loss) as a measure of its operating performance, not as a measure of liquidity. Economic Income (Loss) should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, operating cash flows, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. As a result of the adjustments made to arrive at Economic Income (Loss) described below, Economic Income (Loss) has limitations in that it does not take into account certain items included or excluded under GAAP, including its consolidated funds. Economic Income (Loss) is considered by management as a supplemental measure to the GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of its performance as management measures it.
The primary differences between GAAP net income (loss) and Economic Income (Loss) are that in reporting Economic Income (Loss), the Company: (i) eliminates the impact of consolidation for consolidated funds, (ii) excludes equity award expense related to the November 2009 Ramius/Cowen transaction, and (iii) excludes certain other acquisition-related and/or reorganization expenses. In addition, Economic Income (Loss) revenues include investment income that represents the income the Company has earned in investing its own capital, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, interest and dividends, net of associated investment related expenses. For US GAAP purposes, these items are included in each of their respective line items. Economic Income (Loss) revenues also include management fees, incentive income and investment income earned through the Company’s investment as a general partner in certain real estate entities and the Company’s investment in the Value and Opportunity business. For US GAAP purposes, all of these items are recorded in other income (loss). In addition, Economic Income (Loss) expenses are reduced by reimbursement from affiliates, which for US GAAP purposes is presented gross as part of revenue.
Additionally, we have reported in this press release our Economic Income (Loss) excluding certain non-cash expenses. For this measure, we have adjusted Economic Income (Loss) by the following non-cash expense items:
· Depreciation and amortization, and
· Share-based compensation expense.
Management believes that the non-GAAP calculation of Economic Income (Loss) excluding certain non-cash items will allow for a better understanding of the Company’s operating results.

Note: The following is a summary of the adjustments made to US GAAP net income (loss) to arrive at Economic Income:
Funds Consolidation: The impacts of consolidation and the related elimination entries of the Consolidated Funds are not included in Economic Income. Adjustments include elimination of incentive income and management fees earned from the Consolidated Funds and addition of fund expenses excluding management fees paid, fund revenues and investment income (loss).
Other Adjustments:
(a) Economic Income recognizes revenues (i) net of distribution fees paid to agents and (ii) our proportionate share of management and incentive fees of certain real estate operating entities and activist business.
(b) Economic Income excludes income taxes as management does not consider this item when evaluating the performance of the segment. Also, reimbursement from affiliates is shown as a reduction of Economic Income expenses, but is included as a part of revenues under US GAAP.
(c) Economic Income recognizes Company income from proprietary trading net of related expenses.
(d) Economic Income recognizes Companies proportionate share of expenses for certain real estate and other operating entities for which the investments are recorded under the equity method of accounting for investments.
(e) Economic Income (Loss) recognizes stock borrow/loan activity and other brokerage dividends as brokerage revenue.

Note: The following is a summary of the adjustments made to US GAAP net income (loss) to arrive at Economic Income:
Funds Consolidation: The impacts of consolidation and the related elimination entries of the Consolidated Funds are not included in Economic Income. Adjustments include elimination of incentive income and management fees earned from the Consolidated Funds and addition of fund expenses excluding management fees paid, fund revenues and investment income (loss).
Other Adjustments:
(a) Economic Income recognizes revenues (i) net of distribution fees paid to agents and (ii) our proportionate share of management and incentive fees of certain real estate operating entities.
(b) Economic Income excludes goodwill impairment and income taxes as management does not consider this item when evaluating the performance of the segment. Also, reimbursement from affiliates is shown as a reduction of Economic Income expenses, but is included as a part of revenues under US GAAP.
(c) Economic Income recognizes Company income from proprietary trading net of related expenses.
(d) Economic Income recognizes Companies proportionate share of expenses for certain real estate and other operating entities for which the investments are recorded under the equity method of accounting for investments.
