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. In particular, these statements may refer to our goals, intentions, and expectations, our business plans and growth strategies, our ability to integrate and manage our acquired businesses, estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits, and forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to our industry.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. We will not update these forward looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future, unless we are obligated to do so under federal securities laws.

Actual results may differ materially and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. Factors that could cause actual results to differ are included in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports and from time to time in other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, among other things, changes in general economic and business conditions, actions of competitors, regulatory and legal actions, changes in legislation, and technology changes.

Use of Non GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilized non GAAP calculations of presented net revenues, compensation and benefits, non compensation operating expenses, income from continuing operations before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income from continuing operations, net income, compensation and non compensation operating expense ratios, pre tax margin and diluted earnings per share as an additional measure to aid in understanding and analyzing the Company’s financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Specifically, the Company believes that the non GAAP measures provide useful information by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’ score operating results and business outlook. The Company believes that these non GAAP measures will allow for a better evaluation of the operating performance of the business and facilitate a meaningful comparison of the Company’s results in the current period to those in prior periods and future periods. Reference to these non GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for results that are presented in a manner consistent with GAAP. These non GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance.

Chairman’s Comments

“In the third quarter, we had record results in Global Wealth Management and solid results in Investment Banking. Our equity and fixed income brokerage businesses were impacted in the quarter by lower volumes, particularly in the month of August. On the positive side, market volumes have strengthened in the month of October.

Our results reflect two months of our partnership with Oriel Securities, our U.K. investment bank. The initial integration is going well and we look forward to their future contributions. Looking ahead, we expect to close the acquisition of Legg Mason Investment Counsel in November, which will add $9 billion in client assets.”
