(1)A non-U.S. GAAP ("non-GAAP") measure. Management believes that presenting results and measures on an adjusted basis alongside U.S. GAAP measures provides the most meaningful basis for comparison of its operating results across periods. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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."

Net revenues
For the second quarter of 2023, net revenues of $288.7 million decreased 3% compared to the first quarter of 2023 and 18% compared to the second quarter of 2022.
Investment banking revenues of $184.0 million for the second quarter of 2023 were flat compared to the first quarter of 2023 and decreased 21% compared to the second quarter of 2022.
•Advisory services revenues of $129.8 million for the second quarter of 2023 decreased 8% compared to the first quarter of 2023 and 24% compared to the second quarter of 2022 driven by fewer completed transactions and a lower average fee, reflecting the continuing challenges in the M&A and debt markets driven by macroeconomic uncertainty. Despite the challenges, the diversification of our sectors has provided some resiliency to our results.
•Corporate financing revenues of $36.9 million for the second quarter of 2023 increased 38% compared to the first quarter of 2023 and 26% compared to the second quarter of 2022 driven by increased equity financing activity and more book run transactions. Our market-leading healthcare franchise led the current quarter, serving as book runner on all 14 deals the team priced.
•Municipal financing revenues of $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2023 were flat compared to the first quarter of 2023. Municipal financing revenues decreased 51% compared to the second quarter of 2022 driven by a decline in issuance activity. Market conditions continue to remain challenging resulting from increased interest rates and volatility combined with weakened investor demand.
3
Institutional brokerage revenues of $87.8 million for the second quarter of 2023 decreased 9% compared to the first quarter of 2023 and 16% compared to the second quarter of 2022.
•Equity brokerage revenues of $50.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 decreased 6% compared to the record first quarter of 2023 and 2% compared to the second quarter of 2022 driven by a decline in shares traded across the industry stemming from reduced market volatility, which was partially offset by an increase in our market share.
•Fixed income services revenues of $37.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 decreased 12% compared to the first quarter of 2023 and 30% compared to the second quarter of 2022 driven by reduced client activity. Market conditions remained challenging during the quarter driven by continued interest rate uncertainty and an increased focus on liquidity for depository institutions.
Investment income for the second quarter of 2023 was $15.8 million compared to $11.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 and $10.9 million for the second quarter of 2022. The current and prior periods include amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. For the current and prior periods, investment income primarily related to the alternative asset management funds we manage.
Non-Interest Expenses
For the second quarter of 2023, non-interest expenses of $274.3 million were essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 2023 and decreased 13% compared to the second quarter of 2022.
•Compensation ratio of 65.5% for the second quarter of 2023 decreased compared to both the first quarter of 2023 and second quarter of 2022 on a lower revenue base primarily due to lower acquisition-related compensation expenses.
•Non-compensation expenses of $85.1 million for the second quarter of 2023 increased 17% compared to the first quarter of 2023 and 13% compared to the second quarter of 2022. The increase in non-compensation expenses was primarily due to higher other operating expenses driven by the write-off of a $7.5 million uncollectible receivable in our municipal financing business, as well as restructuring expenses of $3.9 million associated with headcount reductions and vacated leased office space related to our previous acquisitions.
Pre-Tax Income
For the second quarter of 2023, pre-tax income of $14.4 million decreased compared to $25.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 and $37.2 million for the second quarter of 2022.
•Pre-tax margin of 5.0% for the second quarter of 2023 decreased compared to 8.7% for the first quarter of 2023 and 10.6% for the second quarter of 2022 resulting from lower net revenues and increased non-compensation expenses.
Effective Tax Rate
For the current and prior periods, the effective tax rate is impacted by the level of noncontrolling interests, the amount of non-deductible expenses, and restricted stock award vestings. For the second quarter of 2023, income tax expense included $0.7 million of tax benefits related to restricted stock awards vesting at values greater than the grant date price as well as accrued forfeitable dividends paid on acquisition-related restricted stock, which resulted in an overall income tax benefit. For the first quarter of 2023, income tax expense included $14.1 million of tax benefits related to restricted stock awards vesting at values greater than the grant date price as well as accrued forfeitable dividends paid on acquisition-related restricted stock, which resulted in an overall income tax benefit. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 25.3%.
Net Income & Earnings Per Share
For the second quarter of 2023, we generated net income of $4.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share. Results for the current quarter decreased compared to both the first quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2022 due to lower net revenues and pre-tax margin. Results for the first quarter of 2023 included benefits recorded to income tax expense of $14.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share.

N/M — Not meaningful
Throughout this press release, including the table above, we present financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes that presenting results and measures on an adjusted basis alongside U.S. GAAP measures provides the most meaningful basis for comparison of its operating results across periods and enhances the overall understanding of our current financial performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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."

See page 3 for a summary of additional business metrics.
Adjusted Net Revenues
For the second quarter of 2023, adjusted net revenues of $277.4 million decreased 4% compared to the first quarter of 2023 and 20% compared to the second quarter of 2022. Market conditions remained challenging throughout the industry and for most of our businesses during the current quarter which muted activity among our investment banking and fixed income clients. Equity financing activity improved on lower volatility, though still remains below historic levels. For the second quarter of 2023, investment banking generated 66% of total adjusted net revenues and institutional brokerage generated 32%.
Adjusted Operating Expenses
For the second quarter of 2023, adjusted operating expenses of $251.0 million were essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 2023 and decreased 12% compared to the second quarter of 2022.
•Adjusted compensation ratio of 63.8% for the second quarter of 2023 increased compared to 63.3% for the first quarter of 2023 and 62.7% for the second quarter of 2022 as a result of lower adjusted net revenues.
•Adjusted non-compensation expenses of $74.0 million for the second quarter of 2023 increased 13% compared to the first quarter of 2023 and 8% compared to the second quarter of 2022 due primarily to higher other operating expenses driven by the write-off of a $7.5 million uncollectible receivable in our municipal financing business.
Adjusted Operating Income
For the second quarter of 2023, adjusted operating income of $26.4 million decreased 35% compared to the first quarter of 2023 and 56% compared to the second quarter of 2022.
•Adjusted operating margin of 9.5% for the second quarter of 2023 decreased compared to 14.1% for the first quarter of 2023 and 17.5% for the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower adjusted net revenues and a higher adjusted non-compensation ratio.
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
For the second quarter of 2023, our adjusted effective tax rate of 18.2% decreased compared to 25.2% for the second quarter of 2022 driven by lower non-deductible expenses. For the first quarter of 2023, adjusted income tax expense included $14.1 million of tax benefits related to restricted stock awards vesting at values greater than the grant date price as well as accrued forfeitable dividends paid on acquisition-related restricted stock, which resulted in an overall adjusted income tax benefit. Excluding the impact of these tax benefits, our adjusted effective tax rate was 28.0% for the first quarter of 2023.
Adjusted Net Income & Adjusted Earnings Per Share
For the second quarter of 2023, we generated adjusted net income of $20.2 million, or $1.13 of adjusted earnings per diluted common share. Results for the current quarter decreased compared to the first quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2022 driven by lower adjusted net revenues and adjusted operating margin. Results for the first quarter of 2023 included benefits recorded to adjusted income tax expense of $14.1 million, or $0.78 per adjusted diluted common share.

About Piper Sandler
Piper Sandler Companies (NYSE: PIPR) is a leading investment bank driven to help clients Realize the Power of Partnership®. Securities brokerage and investment banking services are offered in the U.S. through Piper Sandler & Co., member SIPC and NYSE; in the U.K. through Piper Sandler Ltd., authorized and regulated by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority; and in Hong Kong through Piper Sandler Hong Kong Limited, authorized and regulated by the Securities and Futures Commission. Alternative asset management and fixed income advisory services are offered through separately registered advisory affiliates.
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 the outlook for future periods for corporate advisory (i.e., M&A), capital markets, and public finance transactions (including our performance in specific sectors), current deal pipelines (or backlogs), economic, geopolitical, and market conditions (including the outlook for equity markets, investment banking transactions, CEO confidence, and the interest rate environment), areas of potential growth and market share gains for the company, our recruiting pipeline, the state of our equity and fixed income brokerage businesses, anticipated financial results for future periods (including expectations regarding revenue levels, non-compensation expenses, effective tax rate, compensation ratio, compensation and benefits expense, operating margins, return on equity, and earnings per share), our strategic priorities, the payment of our quarterly and special cash dividends to our shareholders, our share repurchase program, the expected benefits and integration of our recently completed acquisitions of DBO Partners, Stamford Partners LLP and Cornerstone Macro, or other similar matters.
Forward-looking 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. These risks, uncertainties and important factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
•revenues from corporate advisory (i.e., M&A) engagements and equity and debt financings may vary materially depending on the number, size, and timing of completed transactions, and completed transactions do not generally provide for subsequent engagements;
•the volume of anticipated transactions – including corporate advisory (i.e., M&A), equity financing, and debt financing – and the corresponding revenues from the transactions may vary from quarter to quarter significantly, particularly if there is a decline in macroeconomic conditions or the financial markets;
•market, geopolitical and economic conditions or developments may be unfavorable, including in specific sectors in which we operate, and these conditions or developments, such as market fluctuations or volatility, may adversely affect our business, revenue levels and profitability;
•interest rate volatility, especially if the changes are rapid or severe, could negatively impact our fixed income institutional business and the negative impact could be exaggerated by reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets;
•the expected benefits of our recently completed acquisitions of DBO Partners, Stamford Partners LLP and Cornerstone Macro may take longer than anticipated to achieve or may not be achieved in their entirety or at all, and will in part depend on our ability to retain and hire key personnel, and the costs or difficulties relating to the combination of the businesses may be greater than expected and may adversely affect our results of operations; and
•our stock price may fluctuate as a result of several factors, including but not limited to, changes in our revenues and operating results.
A further listing and description of these and other risks, uncertainties and important factors can be found in the sections titled "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 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, 2022, and updated in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC (available at our Web site at www.pipersandler.com and at the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov).
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. We undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.
