For the second quarter of 2014, on a U.S. GAAP basis, net revenues from continuing operations were $170.0 million, and net income from continuing operations was $18.2 million, or $1.11 per diluted common share. “We are pleased to report very strong results for the second quarter,” said Andrew S.

Second Quarter Results from Continuing Operations – Non-GAAP Basis
Throughout the Adjusted Consolidated Results and Business Segment Results sections of this press release the firm presents financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments to exclude (1) revenues and expenses related to noncontrolling interests, (2) amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, and (3) compensation for acquisition-related agreements. Management believes that presenting results and measures on an adjusted basis in conjunction with U.S. GAAP measures provides the most meaningful basis for comparison of its operating results across periods. For a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, see "Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Selected Summary Financial Information."

Adjusted Consolidated Results
For the second quarter of 2014, adjusted net revenues were $166.7 million, up 63% compared to $102.0 million in the second quarter of 2013 due to higher equity financing and advisory services revenues. Adjusted net revenues increased 3% percent compared to the first quarter of 2014.

For the second quarter of 2014, adjusted compensation and benefits expenses were $101.7 million, up 57% compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to improved financial results. Adjusted compensation and benefits expenses increased 3% compared to the first quarter of 2014.

For the second quarter of 2014, adjusted compensation and benefits expenses were 61.0% of adjusted net revenues, compared to 63.4% and 61.4% for the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, respectively. The adjusted compensation ratio decreased compared to both periods due to an increased revenue base.

Adjusted non-compensation expenses were $33.0 million for the second quarter of 2014, up 13% and 6% compared to the year-ago period and the first quarter of 2014, respectively. Adjusted non-compensation expenses were higher compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to the incremental costs associated with the two acquisitions we closed in the third quarter of the prior year, and increased compared to both periods due to higher litigation-related expenses.

Business Segment Results
The firm has two reportable business segments: Capital Markets and Asset Management. Consolidated net revenues and expenses are fully allocated to these two segments. The operating results of our Hong Kong capital markets business, which we shut down in 2012, and FAMCO, an asset management subsidiary sold in the second quarter of 2013, are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Capital Markets
For the quarter, Capital Markets generated adjusted pre-tax operating income of $23.1 million, compared to $0.6 million and $24.1 million in the second quarter of 2013 and first quarter of 2014, respectively.

Adjusted net revenues were $144.7 million, up 72% and 2% compared to the year-ago period and the first quarter of 2014, respectively.

  • Equity financing revenues of $44.1 million increased 102% and 25% compared to the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, respectively. Revenues were favorable compared to both periods due to more completed transactions and higher revenue per transaction.
  • Debt financing revenues were $20.2 million, down 9% compared to the year-ago period due to fewer completed transactions, and up 49% compared to the first quarter of 2014 due to more completed transactions.
  • Advisory services revenues were $39.7 million, up 323% compared to the second quarter of 2013 and essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 2014. Revenues increased compared to the year-ago period due to more completed transactions and higher revenue per transaction.
  • Equity institutional brokerage revenues of $18.4 million decreased 14% compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to lower client trading volumes. Revenues decreased 24% compared to the first quarter of 2014 due to lower client trading volumes, and the absence of block trades during the quarter.
  • Fixed income institutional brokerage revenues were $21.1 million, up 155% compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to trading losses on inventory positions in the year-ago period. In the second quarter of 2013, the fixed income market experienced a rapid increase in interest rates, a widening of credit spreads, and a volatile trading environment. These market dynamics in the year-ago period negatively impacted our inventory values which were not fully mitigated by our hedging strategies. Revenues were down 17% compared to the first quarter of 2014 due to lower trading gains and lower client trading volume.
  • Management and performance fees earned from managing our alternative asset management funds were $1.4 million, compared to $0.6 million and $1.7 million in the year-ago period and the sequential quarter, respectively. The increase compared to the second quarter of 2013 was due to higher performance fees.
  • Adjusted investment income, which includes gains and losses on our investments in the merchant banking fund and the municipal bond fund that we manage for third-party investors, and other firm investments, was $1.7 million, compared to $2.4 million in the year-ago period and $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease compared to the second quarter of 2013 was due to lower gains on our merchant banking investments, partially offset by higher gains on our investment in the municipal bond fund that we manage for third-party investors. Adjusted investment income decreased compared to the sequential quarter due primarily to lower gains on our merchant banking investments.
  • Long-term financing expenses, which primarily represents interest paid on the firm's variable rate senior notes, were $1.7 million, down 9% compared to the second quarter of 2013 and essentially flat with the first quarter of 2014.
  • Adjusted operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $121.7 million, up 46% compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase primarily resulted from higher compensation expenses due to improved operating results and business expansion. Compared to the first quarter of 2014, adjusted operating expenses increased 3%.
  • Adjusted segment pre-tax operating margin was 15.9% compared to 0.7% in the year-ago period and 17.0% in the first quarter of 2014. Adjusted pre-tax operating margin improved compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to higher net revenues and decreased compared to the sequential quarter due to higher non-compensation costs.

Asset Management
For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, Asset Management generated adjusted pre-tax operating income of $8.9 million, up 20% and 26% compared to the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, respectively.

Net revenues were $22.0 million, up 22% and 12% compared to the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, respectively. The increase compared to both periods was due to higher management fees from increased assets under management (AUM) driven by market appreciation, and higher investment income.

  • Adjusted operating expenses for the current quarter were $13.0 million, up 24% compared to the year-ago period due to higher compensation and non-compensation expenses. Compared to the first quarter of 2014, adjusted operating expenses increased by 3%.
  • Adjusted segment pre-tax operating margin was 40.7%, compared to 41.4% in the year-ago period and 36.0% in the first quarter of 2014. Adjusted segment pre-tax operating margin declined relative to the second quarter of 2013 due to higher non-compensation expenses, and improved from the sequential quarter due to a lower compensation ratio driven by higher net revenues.
  • AUM was $12.6 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2014, compared to $10.2 billion in the year-ago period and $11.5 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2014. Increases in AUM have been driven primarily by market appreciation.

Rolling 12 month return on average tangible common shareholders' equity is computed by dividing net income applicable to Piper Jaffray Companies' for the last 12 months by average monthly common shareholders' equity less average goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Management believes that the rolling 12 month return on average tangible common shareholders' equity is a meaningful measure of our return on tangible assets deployed in the business. Average common shareholders’ equity is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to average tangible shareholders’ equity. The following is a reconciliation of average common shareholders’ equity to average tangible common shareholders’ equity:
