Piper Jaffray Companies (NYSE: PJC) today announced net income of $2.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2012. Results included $3.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, of additional income tax expense for writing off equity-related deferred tax assets. For the first quarter of 2011, net income was $7.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted common share. For the fourth quarter of 2011, the firm recorded non-GAAP net income of $2.1 million(1), or $0.11(1) per diluted common share. On a GAAP basis, the net loss for the fourth quarter was $116.4 million, or $7.38 per diluted common share. The non-GAAP results excluded the $118.4 million after-tax goodwill impairment charge that the firm recorded in the fourth quarter.
For the first quarter of 2012, net revenues were $117.7 million, compared to $124.8 million in the year-ago period and $99.2 million in the sequential fourth quarter.
“Against a more positive operating environment, we were pleased with our improved first quarter results. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, net revenues increased 19% and pre-tax profit on a non-GAAP basis increased seven-fold,” said Andrew S. Duff, chairman and chief executive officer. “Stronger fixed income sales and trading and equity financing revenues, and solid asset management and public finance results drove the improved performance.”
First QuarterConsolidated ExpensesFor the first quarter of 2012, compensation and benefits expenses were $73.5 million, down 3% compared to $75.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. Compensation and benefits expenses increased 15% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 due to improved financial results.
For the first quarter of 2012, compensation and benefits expenses were 62.4% of net revenues, compared to 60.5% and 64.4% for the first and fourth quarters of 2011, respectively. The compensation ratio declined 50 basis points from the full-year 2011 compensation ratio of 62.9%, which the firm believes is a more accurate comparison.
Non-compensation expenses were $31.8 million, down 16% from $37.7 million in the year-ago period, mainly driven by cost-saving initiatives executed during 2011. Non-compensation expenses decreased 6% from non-GAAP non-compensation expenses of $33.7 million(2) in the fourth quarter of 2011. On a GAAP basis, including the $120.3 million pre-tax goodwill impairment charge, non-compensation expenses were $154.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Other MattersIn the first quarter of 2012, the firm incurred $3.4 million of additional income tax expense for writing off deferred tax assets related to equity grants that either vested at share prices lower than the grant date share price, or that were forfeited.
In the first quarter of 2012, the firm repurchased $7.0 million, or 287,788 shares, of its common stock at an average price of $24.46 per share. The firm has $44.3 million remaining on its share repurchase authorization, which expires on Sept. 30, 2012. In addition, the firm acquired $8.4 million, or 352,838 shares, related to employee tax obligations on the vesting of equity awards.
First QuarterBusiness Segment ResultsThe firm has two reportable business segments: Capital Markets and Asset Management. Consolidated net revenues and expenses are fully allocated to these two segments.
Capital MarketsFor the first quarter, Capital Markets generated pre-tax operating income of $7.9 million, compared to $7.3 million in the year-ago period and a non-GAAP, pre-tax operating loss of $2.5 million(3) in the fourth quarter of 2011. On a GAAP basis, including the $120.3 million pre-tax goodwill impairment charge, Capital Markets generated a pre-tax operating loss of $122.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Net revenues were $99.7 million, down 7% compared to the year-ago period. Revenues rose 22% compared to the sequential fourth quarter, primarily driven by significantly improved fixed income institutional brokerage revenues.
Asset ManagementFor the quarter ended Mar. 31, 2012, asset management generated pre-tax operating income of $4.5 million, up 6% compared to the first quarter of 2011 and up 8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Net revenues were $18.0 million, down 1% and up 4%, compared to first and fourth quarters of 2011, respectively.

These non-GAAP financial measures have been used in this press release because management believes they are useful to investors by providing greater transparency to Piper Jaffray’s operating performance.

Annualized return on average adjusted common shareholders’ equity is computed by dividing annualized net income by average monthly adjusted common shareholders’ equity. Management believes that annualized return on adjusted common shareholders’ equity is a meaningful measure of performance because it reflects equity deployed in our businesses after our spin off from U.S. Bancorp on December 31, 2003. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of common shareholders’ equity to adjusted common shareholders’ equity. Common shareholders’ equity is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted common shareholders’ equity.
