(1) All financial highlights are presented on an Economic Income basis.
(2) Includes broker-dealer segment’s allocation of Investment Income (Loss) and Other Revenue.
Peter A. Cohen, Chairman and CEO of Cowen Group said, “In what continues to be a challenging market, we are proud to report a profitable third quarter and another record revenue quarter. This is a result of the progress we have made in elevating the results in each of our operating businesses. The broker dealer benefited from a favorable capital raising environment for equities and had its best quarter for debt raising. At Ramius, we continue to raise assets, produce solid investment performance and launch new products, including the Ramius Event Driven Equity Fund, our fourth alternative mutual fund.”
“In September 2013, Ramius’ legacy multi-strategy funds received a significant distribution from Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (“LBIE”) which was subsequently distributed to the funds’ investors in respect of the Omnibus Trust Asset claims held by our funds. As a creditor of LBIE, we proactively joined the unsecured creditors’ committee of LBIE and, in coordination with the Administrator, worked diligently for five years towards a novel solution that would ensure that our clients’ assets would be recovered. The resulting distribution from LBIE was a landmark event of Lehman’s global bankruptcy, and our funds expect to recover in excess of 100% of the value of the claims registered in September 2008.”

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 September 30, 2013 and 2012, and June 30, 2013; and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Compensation and Benefits Expense
The compensation to economic income revenue ratio declined in the third quarter 2013 to 58% from 70% in the prior year period. The decrease in the compensation to revenue ratio is the result of a 40% increase in revenues compared to the prior year period versus a 16% increase in total compensation expense.
Third quarter 2013 compensation and benefits expense was $53.8 million, a 16% increase compared to $46.2 million in the third 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 third quarter 2013 was 631, an 8% increase compared to the prior year period and 1% lower compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Compensation and benefits expense for the third quarter 2013 and 2012 included $4.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, in share-based compensation expense. There was no equity award expense related to the 2009 Cowen / Ramius business combination in the third quarter of 2013. However, in the third quarter 2012, compensation and benefits expense excluded a $1.4 million equity award expense related to the 2009 Cowen / Ramius business combination.
Excluding $1.4 million of expenses associated with activities for which the Company is reimbursed and $0.3 million of severance expense, compensation and benefits expense was 57% of revenue in the third quarter 2013. Excluding these same two items, compensation and benefits expense was 61% and 56% of revenue in the prior year period and second quarter 2013, respectively.
Fixed Non-Compensation Expenses
Fixed non-compensation expenses in the current quarter increased by 5% to $25.4 million as compared to $24.1 million in the comparable prior year quarter. This was primarily due to increased occupancy and depreciation and amortization costs due to the Dahlman Rose acquisition completed during the first quarter of 2013 which were only partially offset by lower service fees.
Variable Non-Compensation Expenses
Variable non-compensation expenses were $6.9 million in the third quarter 2013, up 20% compared to $5.7 million in the third quarter 2012. This is primarily due to an increase in floor brokerage and trade execution relate to a general revenue increase in the Company’s overall business as well as two acquisitions completed during second and fourth quarter of 2012 and one in the first quarter of 2013. The increased trading costs are in line with the increase in associated revenues.
Alternative Investment Segment (“Ramius”)
Assets Under Management
As of October 1, 2013, the Company had assets under management of $9.3 billion. Total AUM increased by $1.2 billion since the start of the year and grew by $234 million from July 1, 2013. The third quarter of 2013 included $50 million in net subscriptions and $184 million of net positive performance.
Management Fees and Incentive Income
In the third quarter 2013, management fees increased $0.9 million from the prior year period to $14.3 million.
The average annualized management fee charged in the third quarter 2013 was 0.62%, as compared to 0.65% in the second quarter and 0.66% in the prior year period. The third quarter of 2012 figure excludes fees related to cash management assets.
Incentive income increased 50% to $5.7 million sequentially from the second quarter 2013 and compares to an incentive fee of $1.7 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 third quarter 2013, investment income was $12.3 million, a $3.2 million increase over the prior year period. The increase primarily relates to an increase in the Company’s own invested capital driven by increases in performance in certain investment strategies including activist and private investments.
Broker-Dealer Segment (“Cowen and Company”)
Brokerage
Brokerage revenue was $32.0 million in the third quarter 2013, an increase of $9.3 million, or 41%, compared to the third quarter 2012. The increase in the current quarter was primarily due to the performance of businesses that we acquired as well as continued improvement in overall commissions and trading volume with customers related to the Company’s electronic trading and cash equities businesses.
Investment Banking
Investment banking revenue was $27.7 million in the third quarter 2013, an increase of $9.0 million, or 48%, compared to $18.7 million in the third quarter 2012. The increase was primarily due to strong activity in both our equity and debt capital markets products.
· Equity underwriting revenue was $15.9 million from twenty transactions in the third quarter 2013, as compared to $13.0 million from eleven transactions in the comparable prior year period. Five transactions were bookrun assignments in the third quarter 2013, compared to four in the prior year period.
· Debt capital markets revenue was $10.7 million from the completion of seven transactions in the third quarter 2013. Three transactions were completed in the prior year period totaling $4.4 million.
· Strategic advisory revenue was $0.7 million in the third quarter 2013, as compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter 2012. The Company completed one strategic advisory transaction in the third quarter 2013 as compared to one strategic advisory transaction in the prior year period.
Share Repurchase Program
Cowen today announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase to the Company’s share repurchase program that authorizes Cowen to purchase up to an additional $15 million of Cowen’s Class A common shares from time to time.
The $15 million increase is in addition to the Company’s existing $35 million share purchase program, under which the Company has acquired 8.9 million shares for $25.3 million. Also, since the program was initially announced in July 2011, the Company has acquired an additional 4.0 million shares as a result of net share settlement relating to the vesting of equity awards.
The program permits the company to purchase shares from time to time through a variety of methods, including in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. It does not obligate the Company to make any purchases at any specific time or situation. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of September 30, 2013, Cowen had approximately 117.4 million Class A shares outstanding.

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.
