EXHIBIT 99.1
ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FBR & Co. (Nasdaq:FBRC) ("FBR" or the "Company"), a leading investment bank serving the middle market, today reported net after-tax earnings of $17.0 million, or $1.48 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to net after-tax earnings of $92.9 million, or $7.17 per diluted share in 2013. Pretax income for 2014 was $17.4 million on revenue of $182.1 million compared with $57.3 million on revenue of $259.8 million in 2013.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, net after-tax earnings were $0.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net after-tax earnings of $8.6 million, or $0.69 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2013 and net after-tax earnings of $3.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2014. Pretax loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $3.9 million on revenue of $28.6 million; this compares to pretax income of $3.6 million on revenue of $40.6 million in fourth quarter of 2013, and $3.3 million of income on revenues of $42.1 million in the third quarter of 2014.
Fourth quarter 2014 total expenses were $32.5 million, compared to $37.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $38.8 million in the third quarter of 2014. Non-compensation fixed expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $12.3 million, compared to $11.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase in our fourth quarter 2014 non-compensation fixed costs was due primarily to nonrecurring charges associated with our move into new corporate headquarters in Arlington, VA.
In the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 517 thousand shares at an average price of $25.23 per share. On February 10, 2015, the Board approved an increase in the Company's repurchase authorization bringing the remaining total to one million shares. This authorization represents 12% of the Company's total outstanding shares at year end.
2014 Overview
"Smaller average deal size in our equity capital markets business led to reduced revenue for the year. Nonetheless, we executed meaningful transactions across each of our industry groups, increased market share and revenue on our cash equities desk, and significantly increased the number of companies covered by our equity research teams," said Richard J. Hendrix, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FBR & Co. "I want to thank each of our employees for their tireless work and total client focus over the last year. As a result of those efforts, we are well positioned to continue delivering for clients and shareholders in 2015."

3 Core fixed costs is a non-GAAP measurement used by management to analyze and assess the Company's fixed operating costs. Management believes that this non-GAAP measurement assists investors in understanding the impact of the items noted in footnotes 1 and 2 on the performance of the Company. | |||||
A limitation of utilizing this non-GAAP measure is that the GAAP accounting effects of these items do in fact reflect the underlying financial results of the Company and these effects should not be ignored in evaluating and analyzing the Company's financial results. Therefore, management believes fixed expenses on a GAAP basis and core fixed costs on a non-GAAP basis should be considered together. |
