Piper Jaffray Companies (NYSE: PJC) today announced pre-tax income of $3.5 million, but an after-tax loss from continuing operations of $2.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. In the first quarter of last year, continuing operations generated a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. In the fourth quarter of 2008, continuing operations generated a net loss of $153.0 million, or $9.76 per diluted share. First quarter 2009 net revenues from continuing operations were $83.9 million, compared to $95.7 million in the year-ago period and $59.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2008.
“As a direct result of reducing our costs, we achieved a $3.5 million pre-tax profit on lower revenues than in the year-ago period,” said Andrew S. Duff, chairman and chief executive officer. “Revenues rebounded from the fourth quarter. We are seeing a benefit to our financial results from the senior talent we have added and from the disruption in the competitive landscape. For example, we have completed multiple municipal transactions for new clients and are achieving significant improvement in our fixed income sales and trading results. However, our global investment banking businesses remain challenged.”
Results of Continuing Operations
First Quarter
Net Revenues
Investment Banking
For the first quarter of 2009, total investment banking revenues were $25.3 million, down 59 percent compared to the first quarter of 2008 and flat with the fourth quarter of 2008.
The following is a recap of completed deal information for the first quarter of 2009:
Institutional Sales and Trading
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, institutional sales and trading generated net revenues of $58.5 million, an increase of 74 percent from the same quarter last year and up 105 percent from the fourth quarter of 2008.
First Quarter
Non-Interest Expenses
For the first quarter of 2009, compensation and benefits expenses were $50.3 million, down 15 percent compared to the first quarter of 2008 driven by lower salaries and benefits expenses. Total compensation expenses rose 3 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2008.
The compensation ratio for the first quarter of 2009 was 60.0 percent, compared to 61.9 percent in the first quarter of 2008, and 81.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008.
For the first quarter of 2009, non-compensation expenses were $30.0 million, down 20 percent compared to the first quarter of 2008. All expense categories reflected a significant decline or were at the same level compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to the expense reduction actions the firm implemented in 2008 and additional cost discipline in the first quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2008, non-compensation expenses were $179.3 million and included several significant items which increased expenses by $144.1 million pre-tax:
Tax expense for the first quarter of 2009 was $6.3 million compared to $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2008. The increased tax expense was due to generating income in the current period, the distribution of results between U.S. and non-U.S. entities, and approximately $3 million of one-time items.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and the conference call to discuss the contents of this press release contain forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These forward-looking statements cover, among other things, statements made about general economic and market conditions, our current deal pipelines, the environment and prospects for capital markets transactions and activity, management expectations, anticipated financial results (including expectations regarding revenue and expense levels, the compensation ratio, and break-even performance), liquidity and capital resources, expectations regarding inventory positions, or other similar matters. These statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or discussed in the forward-looking statements including (1) market and economic conditions or developments may be unfavorable, including in specific sectors in which we operate, and these conditions or developments (including market fluctuations or volatility) may adversely affect the environment for capital markets transactions and activity and our business, revenue levels and profitability, (2) the volume of anticipated investment banking transactions as reflected in our deal pipelines (and the net revenues we earn from such transactions) may differ from expected results if any transactions are delayed or not completed at all or if the terms of any transactions are modified, (3) we may not be able to compete successfully with other companies in the financial services industry, (4) the disruption in the competitive landscape and our hiring of additional senior talent may not yield the benefits we anticipate or yield them within expected timeframes, (5) our ability to manage expenses to attain break-even performance at reduced revenue levels may be limited by the fixed nature of certain expenses as well as the impact from unanticipated expenses during the year, (6) an inability to access capital readily or on terms favorable to us could impair our ability to fund operations and could jeopardize our financial condition, (7) an inability to readily divest or transfer inventory positions may result in future inventory levels that differ from management’s expectations and potential financial losses from a decline in value of illiquid positions, and (8) the other factors described under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and updated in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC (available at our Web site at www.piperjaffray.com and at the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov).
