Company's web site at www.stifel.com.
The investor presentation is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, and the information contained therein
shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated

To supplement its financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company used, in its investor presentation, certain non-GAAP measures of
financial performance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures will allow for a better evaluation of the operating performance of the business and facilitate a meaningful comparison of the Company's results in the current period to

overall understanding of the Company's financial performance.
The investor presentation attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit
99.1 contains certain statements that may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements in this
report not dealing with historical results are forward-looking and are based on various assumptions. The forward-looking statements in this report are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in or implied by the statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among other things: statements regarding the Company's goals, intentions,
and expectations; business plans and growth strategies; the Company's ability to integrate and manage its acquired businesses; estimates of the Company's risks and future costs and benefits; forecasted demographic and economic trends
