For the year ended December 31, 2012, FBR reported net after-tax earnings of $29.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to a net after-tax loss of $49.6 million, or $0.82 per diluted share in 2011. Pretax income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $3.9 million on revenue of $151.5 million compared with a $51.3 million pre-tax loss on revenue of $132.2 million in 2011.
As previously announced, the Company completed the sale of the assets related to the FBR Funds business in October and as a result, FBR recognized income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $23.1 million in the fourth quarter.
Fourth quarter 2012 revenue was $58.9 million compared to $24.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $23.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were the result of significantly higher investment banking revenues.
Fourth quarter 2012 total expenses were $49.7 million, compared to $44.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $29.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in total expense quarter over quarter was primarily due to higher compensation expense as a result of higher revenues. Excluding non-recurring real estate consolidation expenses, non-compensation fixed expenses from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled $10.9 million, compared to $12.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $10.2 million in the third quarter of 2012.

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 and severance costs 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. |
