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.

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 marginand diluted earnings per share as an additional measure toaid in understanding and analyzing the Company’s financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 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’s core 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’sfinancial performance.

Chairman’s Comments
“We had a strong finish to the year and are excited to report that 2014 was our 19th consecutive year of record net revenues. Both the Global Wealth Management and Institutional Group generated record revenues and record pre?tax operating income in 2014. We continue to add capabilities and talented professionals in our pursuit of building the preeminent brokerage and investment banking firm.
Today, we announced the acquisition of Sterne Agee, which bolsters our Global Wealth Management segment with the addition of more than 700 financial advisors and independent representatives nationwide managing over $20 billion in client assets, and complements our Fixed Income platform, generating significant scale.”
