(NYSE: SF) today reported unaudited net income of $26.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, on net revenues of $374.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with net income of $3.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share(1), on net revenues of $358.9 million for the second quarter of 2011.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the company reported net income of $60.9 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, on net revenues of $774.7 million, compared with net income of $34.8 million, or $0.55 per diluted share(1), on net revenues of $725.5 million during the comparable period in 2011.
"The operating environment in the second quarter was challenging, especially compared with the strong start to the year. The headwinds in the equity and bond markets, as well as macro economic factors affected the industry, our business and client activity. In the quarter, asset management, investment banking advisory and Stifel Bank performed well, while commissions stabilized, and principal transactions and equity capital raising results were lower," commented Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman, President and CEO of Stifel Financial. "Throughout this year, we have continued to grow through investments in selected professionals and certain businesses, namely our fixed income platform. We are well positioned with the scale and expertise to gain market share."
For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Global Wealth Management ("GWM") segment generated pre-tax operating income of $61.4 million, compared with $55.4 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $69.2 million in the first quarter of 2012. Net revenues for the quarter were $240.0 million, compared with $225.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, and $248.3 million in the first quarter of 2012. The increase in net revenues over the comparable period in 2011 is primarily attributable to: (1) growth in asset management and service fees as a result of an increase in assets under management and positive gains in market performance; (2) increased net interest revenues as a result of the growth of net interest-earning assets at Stifel Bank; and (3) higher principal transactions revenues, offset by a decrease in commissions revenue. The decrease in net revenues from the first quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to: (1) a decrease in commissions and principal transactions revenues, as a result of lower trading volumes; and (2) lower sales credits from investment banking underwritings, offset by an increase in asset management and service fees and net interest revenues.
The Private Client Group reported net revenues of $221.0 million, a 4% increase compared with the second quarter of 2011 and a 5% decrease compared with the first quarter of 2012.

Net revenues for the quarter were $135.3 million, compared with $132.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $148.5 million in the first quarter of 2012. The increase in net revenues from the comparable period in 2011 was driven by: (1) an increase in fixed income capital raising revenues; (2) an increase in advisory fees; and (3) higher fixed income institutional brokerage revenues, offset by a decrease in equity capital raising revenues. The decrease in net revenues from the first quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to: (1) a decrease in institutional brokerage revenues; and (2) lower equity capital raising revenues, partially offset by an increase in advisory fees and fixed income capital raising revenues.
Institutional brokerage revenues were $74.9 million, a 2% increase compared with the second quarter of 2011 and a 16% decrease compared with the first quarter of 2012.
