NOTE 1 – Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Stifel Financial Corp. (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is principally engaged in retail brokerage; securities trading; investment banking; investment advisory; retail, consumer, and commercial banking; and related financial services. ~~We have offices throughout the United States and Europe.~~ Our major geographic area of concentration is throughout the United States, with a growing presence in the United Kingdom, Europe, and ~~Europe.~~Canada. Our company’s principal customers are individual investors, corporations, municipalities, and institutions.

On January 2, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of First Empire Holding Corp. (“First Empire”) and its subsidiaries, including First Empire Securities, Inc., an institutional broker-dealer specializing in the fixed income markets. See Note 8 in the notes to consolidated financial statements for more details.

Pro forma information is not presented, because the acquisition is not considered to be material, as defined by the SEC. The results of operations of First Empire have been included in our results prospectively from the date of acquisition.

The consolidated financial statements include Stifel Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, principally Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”), Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., ~~and~~ Stifel Bancorp, Inc. (“Stifel Bancorp”), Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. (“SNC”), and Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited (“SNEL”). Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” or “our company” in this report refer to Stifel Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, we have omitted certain information and footnote disclosures we normally include in our annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In management’s opinion, we have made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted) necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 on file with the SEC.

On March 27, 2020, the Company completed the sale of Ziegler Capital Management, LLC (“ZCM”), a wholly owned asset management subsidiary. The assets and liabilities of ZCM were classified as held for sale and are included in other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively, at December 31, 2019. See Note 8 for further information.

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The effect of these reclassifications on our company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements was not material.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stifel Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly owned, the third-party holdings of equity interests are referred to as non-controlling interests. The portion of shareholders’ equity that is attributable to non-controlling interests for such subsidiaries is presented as non-controlling interests, a component of total equity, in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Our non-controlling interest ~~represents~~at December 31, 2019 represented a 27.5% third-party ownership of North Shore Aviation Holdings LLC (“North Shore”), which was a ~~wholly owned~~consolidated subsidiary of the Company that, through its subsidiary, owns airplane engines.

On February 7, 2020, North Shore entered into a Credit Agreement with North Shore Aviation Trust Series 2020-1 (the “Trust”) whereby the Trust provided North Shore with a $120.0 million credit facility. North Shore was recapitalized with funding from the issuance of the senior notes and E-Certificates by the Trust. Upon the recapitalization, Stifel Bancorp’s equity in North Shore was redeemed. We deconsolidated the related assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interests of North Shore.

We have investments or interests in other entities for which we must evaluate whether to consolidate by determining whether we have a controlling financial interest or are considered to be the primary beneficiary. Under our current consolidation policy, which complies with the provisions of ASC 810 as amended by ASU 2015-02, we consolidate those entities where we have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the rights to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity.

We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) by performing an analysis of the VIE’s control structure, expected benefits and losses, and expected residual returns. This analysis includes a review of, among other factors, the VIE’s capital structure, contractual terms, which interests create or absorb benefits or losses, variability, related party relationships, and the design of the VIE. We reassess our evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain reconsideration events occur. We reassess our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis based on current facts and circumstances. See Note 25 for additional information on VIEs.

For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, other than the following, there were no significant changes made to the Company’s significant accounting policies. The accounting policy changes are attributable to the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. ~~2016-02, “Leases” (the “new lease standard” or “ASU 2016-02”~~2016-13, “Financial Instruments − Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”)” on January 1, ~~2019.~~2020. This accounting update impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost by requiring a current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset, recorded at inception or purchase. CECL will replace the loss model currently applicable to bank loans, held-to-maturity securities, and other receivables carried at amortized cost. These ~~lease~~credit loss policy updates are applied prospectively in our consolidated financial statements from January 1, ~~2019.~~ 2020.

Reported financial information for the historical comparable period was not revised and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect during the historical periods.

~~Our company enters into~~The allowance for credit losses includes both the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments and represents management’s estimate of the expected credit losses in our company’s loan portfolio. The expected credit losses on our loan portfolio are referred to as the allowance for loan losses and are reported separately as a contra-asset to loans on the consolidated statement of financial condition. The expected credit losses for unfunded lending commitments, including standby letters of credit and binding unfunded loan commitments are reported on the consolidated statement of financial condition in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The provision for loan losses related to the loan portfolio in the consolidated statement of operations and the provision for unfunded lending commitments are reported in the consolidated statement of operations in other operating ~~leases~~expenses.

For loans, the expected credit loss is typically estimated using quantitative methods that consider a variety of factors such as historical loss experience derived from proxy data, the current credit quality of the portfolio as well as an economic outlook over the life of the loan. The life of the loan for real estate, office equipment and other assets, substantially all of which are used in connection with its operations. We adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, which required our company to recognize, for leases longer than one year, a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability representing the liability to make payments. The lease termclosed-ended products is ~~generally determined~~ based on the contractual maturity of the ~~lease. For leases where our company has~~loan adjusted for any expected prepayments. The contractual maturity includes any extension options that are at the ~~option to terminate or extend the lease, an assessment~~sole discretion of the ~~likelihood of exercising~~borrower. For open-ended products, the ~~option~~expected credit loss is ~~incorporated into the determination of the lease term. Such assessment is initially performed at the inception of the lease and is updated if events occur that impact the original assessment.~~

~~An operating lease right-of-use asset is initially~~ determined based on the ~~operating lease liability, adjusted for initial direct costs, lease incentives and amounts paid at or prior to lease commencement. This amount is then amortized~~maximum repayment term associated with future draws from credit lines.

In our loss forecasting framework, we incorporate forward-looking information through the use of macroeconomic scenarios applied over the ~~lease term.~~forecasted life of the assets. These macroeconomic scenarios include variables that have historically been key drivers of increases and decreases in credit losses. These variables include, but are not limited to, unemployment rates, real estate prices, gross domestic product levels, corporate bond spreads and long-term interest rate forecasts. As any one economic outlook is inherently uncertain, we leverage multiple scenarios. The scenarios that are chosen each quarter and the amount of weighting given to each scenario depend on a variety of factors including recent economic events, leading economic indicators, views of internal as well as third-party economists and industry trends.

Once a loan is determined to be impaired, when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due or when collection becomes uncertain, the accrual of interest and amortization of deferred loan origination fees is discontinued (“non-accrual status”), and any accrued and unpaid interest income is reversed. Loans placed on non-accrual status are returned to accrual status when all delinquent principal and interest payments are collected and the collectability of future principal and interest payments is reasonably assured. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe the uncollectibility of a loan balance is certain. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan loss.

We do not include reserves for interest receivable in the measurement of the allowance for credit losses as we generally classify loans as nonperforming at 90 days past due and reverse interest income for these loans at that time.

Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, we do not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for non-homogeneous loans, and a specific allowance is established for individual loans determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying value of the impaired loan to the present value of its expected cash flow discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. See Note 177 for ~~information about operating leases.~~more information.

We evaluate each available-for-sale security where the value has declined below amortized cost. If our company ~~ceased using the space and management has concluded~~intends to sell or believes it is more likely than not that it will ~~not derive~~be required to sell the debt security, it is written down to fair value through earnings. For available-for-sale debt securities our company intends to hold, we evaluate the debt securities for expected credit losses except for debt securities that are guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or U.S. government agencies where we apply a zero credit loss assumption. For the remaining available-for-sale debt securities, we consider qualitative parameters such as internal and external credit ratings and the value of underlying collateral. If an available-for-sale debt security fails any ~~future economic benefits,~~of the qualitative parameters, a discounted cash flow analysis is used by our company to determine if a portion of the unrealized loss is a result of a credit loss. Any credit losses determined are recognized as an increase to the allowance for credit losses through provision expense recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in other operating expenses. Cash flows expected to be collected are estimated using all relevant information available such as, remaining payment terms, prepayment speeds, the financial condition of the issuer, expected defaults and the value of the underlying collateral. If any of the decline in fair value is related to market factors, that amount is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. In certain instances, the credit loss may exceed the total decline in fair value, in which case, the allowance recorded is limited to the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the asset. We separately evaluate our held-to-maturity debt securities for any credit losses. We perform a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate any credit losses which are then recognized as part of the allowance for credit losses. For available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, we ~~record an impairment~~have established a nonaccrual policy that results in timely write-off of ~~right-of-use assets.~~accrued interest. See Note 6 for more information.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The objective of this guidance is to improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements on fair value measurement by eliminating certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requiring public entities to disclose certain new information and modifying some disclosure requirements. The accounting update is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for our company) and early adoption is permitted. We early adopted the guidance in the update on January 1, 2019. The adoption of the accounting update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 4 for further information.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities,” which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements. The accounting update improves the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users by better aligning companies’ hedging relationship to their existing risk management strategies, simplifies the application of hedge accounting and increases transparency regarding the scope and results of hedging program. The accounting update is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018 (January 1, 2019 for our company). The adoption of the accounting update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 12 for further information.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,” which shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendments are applicable to any purchased individual debt security with an explicit and non-contingent call feature that is callable at a fixed price on a preset date. The accounting update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (January 1, 2019 for our company) under a modified retrospective approach. The change was applied prospectively from January 1, 2019 and there is no impact to our previously presented results. The adoption of the accounting update resulted in a reduction of beginning retained earnings of $4.4 million after-tax as a cumulative effect of adoption of an accounting change.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 that requires for leases longer than one year, a lessee recognize in the statements of financial condition a right-of-use asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, representing the liability to make lease payments. The accounting update also requires that for finance leases, a lessee recognize interest expense on the lease liability, separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statements of earnings, while for operating leases, such amounts should be recognized as a combined expense. In addition, this accounting update requires expanded disclosures about the nature and terms of lease agreements.

This change was applied prospectively from January 1, 2019 and there is no impact on our previously presented results. Upon adoption, in accordance with the new lease standard, we elected to not reassess the lease classification or initial direct costs of existing leases, and to not reassess whether existing contracts contain a lease. In addition, we have elected to account for each contract’s lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The adoption of the new lease standard resulted in a reduction of beginning retained earnings of $6.4 million after-tax as a cumulative effect of adoption of an accounting change. Upon adoption, the company recorded a gross up of approximately $670 million on its consolidated statements of financial condition to recognize the right-of-use assets, included in fixed assets, net and lease liabilities, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

InOn January ~~2017, the FASB issued~~1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2017-04, ~~“Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,”~~ which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the accounting update, the annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and an impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The adoption of the accounting update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The future impact of the accounting update will depend upon the performance of our reporting units and the market conditions impacting the fair value of each reporting unit going forward.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 that requires the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the Company’s relevant financial assets. Upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2020, we recorded a $10.4 million increase to the allowance for credit losses. The increase in the allowance is driven by the fact that the allowance under the CECL model covers expected credit losses over the full expected life of the loan portfolios and also takes into account forecasts of expected future economic conditions. The cumulative effect of adopting this standard was a decrease to retained earnings of $7.8 million (net of tax).

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The accounting standard related to contracts or hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The accounting standard provides for optional expedients and other guidance regarding the accounting related to modifications of contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. We have elected to retrospectively adopt the new standard as of January 1, 2020 which resulted in no immediate impact. While reference rate reform is not expected to have a material accounting impact on our consolidated financial statements, the new standard will ease the administrative burden in accounting for the future effects of reference rate reform.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. This accounting update removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The accounting update is effective for interim and annual ~~or any interim impairment tests in fiscal years~~periods beginning after December 15, ~~2019~~2020 (January 1, ~~2020~~2021, for our company), and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ofthat the accounting update ~~but the adoption is not expected to~~will have ~~a material impact~~ on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments − Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This accounting update impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost by requiring a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset, recorded at inception or purchase. CECL will replace the loss model currently applicable to bank loans, held-to-maturity securities, and other receivables carried at amortized cost.

The accounting update also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment for available-for-sale securities. Impairments on available-for-sale securities will be required to be recognized in earnings through an allowance, when the fair value is less than amortized cost and a credit loss exists or the securities are expected to be sold before recovery of amortized cost. Under the accounting update, there may be an ability to determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances, e.g., based on collateral arrangements for lending and financing transactions or based on the credit quality of the borrower or issuer. Expected credit losses, including losses on off-balance-sheet exposures, such as lending commitments, will be measured based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Overall, the amendments in this accounting update are expected to accelerate the recognition of credit losses for portfolios where CECL models will be applied.

~~The accounting update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for our company) under a modified retrospective approach with early adoption permitted.~~

We have substantially completed development of credit loss models for significant loan portfolios and are in the process of testing these models and validating data inputs, while continuing to develop the policies, systems and controls that will be required to implement CECL. The adoption of the accounting update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Ultimately, the extent of the impact of adoption of this accounting update on our company’s consolidated financial statements may vary and will depend on, among other things, the economic environment, the completion of our company’s models, policies and other management judgments, and the size and type of loan portfolios held by our company on the date of adoption.

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial instruments owned, available-for-sale securities, investments, financial instruments sold, but not yet purchased, and derivatives.

We generally utilize third-party pricing services to value Level 1 and Level 2 available-for-sale investment securities, as well as certain derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. We review the methodologies and assumptions used by the third-party pricing services and evaluate the values provided, principally by comparison with other available market quotes for similar instruments and/or analysis based on internal models using available third-party market data. We may occasionally adjust certain values provided by the third-party pricing service when we believe, as the result of our review, that the adjusted price most appropriately reflects the fair value of the particular security.

Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies and key inputs used to measure financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The descriptions include an indication of the level of the fair value hierarchy in which the assets or liabilities are classified.

When available, the fair value of financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets and reported in Level 1. Level 1 financial instruments include highly liquid instruments with quoted prices, such as equity securities listed in active markets, corporate fixed income securities, ~~U.S. government securities,~~ and U.S. government ~~agency~~ securities.

If quoted prices are not available for identical instruments, fair values are obtained from pricing services, broker quotes, or other model-based valuation techniques with observable inputs, such as the present value of estimated cash flows, and reported as Level 2. The nature of these financial instruments include instruments for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, instruments whose fair value has been derived using a model where inputs to the model are directly observable in the market, or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, and instruments that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. Level 2 financial instruments include U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate fixed income and equity securities infrequently traded, state and municipal securities, sovereign debt, and asset-backed securities, which primarily include collateralized loan obligations.

We have identified Level 3 financial instruments to include certain asset-backed securities and loans with unobservable pricing inputs. Level 3 financial instruments have little to no pricing observability as of the report date. These financial instruments do not have active two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

Investments carried at fair value primarily include corporate equity securities, auction-rate securities (“ARS”), and private company investments.

Corporate equity securities are primarily valued based on quoted prices in active markets and reported in Level 1.

ARS are primarily valued based upon our expectations of issuer redemptions and using internal discounted cash flow models that utilize unobservable inputs. ARS are primarily reported as Level 3 assets.

~~Direct~~Investments at fair value include investments in ~~private companies may be valued using~~funds, including certain money market funds that are measured at net asset value (“NAV”). The Company uses NAV to measure the ~~market approach~~fair value of its fund investments when (i) the fund investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and ~~were valued based on an assessment of each underlying investment, incorporating evaluation of additional significant third-party financing, changes in valuations of comparable peer companies,~~(ii) the ~~business environment~~NAV of the ~~companies, market indices, assumptions relating to appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance, and legal restrictions on disposition, among other factors. The fair value derived from~~investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the ~~methods used are evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness~~measurement principles of investment company accounting, including measurement of the ~~range of values indicated. Under the market approach,~~underlying investments at fair value may be determined by reference to multiples of market-comparable companies or transactions, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. For securities utilizing the market comparable companies valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the EBITDA multiple in isolation could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

The Company’s investments in funds measured at NAV include partnership interests, mutual funds, private equity funds, and money market funds. Private equity funds primarily invest in a broad range of industries worldwide in a variety of situations, including leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, growth investments and distressed investments. The private equity funds are primarily closed-end funds in which the Company’s investments are generally not eligible for redemption. Distributions will be received from these funds as the underlying assets are liquidated or distributed.

The general and limited partnership interests in investment partnerships were primarily valued based upon NAVs received from third-party fund managers. The various partnerships are investment companies, which record their underlying investments at fair value based on fair value policies established by management of the underlying fund. Fair value policies at the underlying fund generally require the funds to utilize pricing/valuation information, including independent appraisals, from third-party sources. However, in some instances, current valuation information for illiquid securities or securities in markets that are not active may not be available from any third-party source or fund management may conclude that the valuations that are available from third-party sources are not reliable. In these instances, fund management may perform model-based analytical valuations that may be used as an input to value these investments.

Financial instruments sold, but not purchased, recorded at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets and other observable market data include highly liquid instruments with quoted prices, such as U.S. government securities, equity and fixed income securities listed in active markets, which are reported as Level 1.

If quoted prices are not available, fair values are obtained from pricing services, broker quotes, or other model-based valuation techniques with observable inputs, such as the present value of estimated cash flows, and reported as Level 2. The nature of these financial instruments include instruments for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, instruments whose fair value has been derived using a model where inputs to the model are directly observable in the market, or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, and instruments that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. Level 2 financial instruments include U.S. government agency securities, agency mortgage-backed securities not actively traded, corporate fixed income, ~~and~~ sovereign debt securities, and state and municipal securities.

Derivatives are valued using quoted market prices for identical instruments when available or pricing models based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows. The valuation models used require market observable inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, and measures of volatility. We manage credit risk for our derivative positions on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis and calculate credit valuation adjustments, included in the fair value of these instruments, on the basis of our relationships at the counterparty portfolio/master netting agreement level. These credit valuation adjustments are determined by applying a credit spread for the counterparty to the total expected exposure of the derivative after considering collateral and other master netting arrangements. We have classified our interest rate swaps as Level 2.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value associated with Level 3 financial instruments during the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 (in thousands):

The ~~following table summarizes the~~ change in fair value associated with Level 3 financial instruments sold, but not yet purchased during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~ ~~(in thousands):~~March 31, 2020 is attributable to purchases, partially offset by unrealized losses and sales.

The results included in the ~~tables~~table above are only a component of the overall investment strategies of our company. The ~~tables~~table above dodoes not present Level 1 or Level 2 valued assets or liabilities. The changes in unrealized gains/(losses) recorded in earnings for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, relating to Level 3 assets still held at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, were immaterial.

The fair value of certain Level 3 assets was determined using various methodologies, as appropriate, including third-party pricing vendors and broker quotes. These inputs are evaluated for reasonableness through various procedures, including due diligence reviews of third-party pricing vendors, variance analyses, consideration of current market environment, and other analytical procedures.

The fair value for our auction rate securities was determined using an income approach based on an internally developed discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model utilizes two significant unobservable inputs: discount rate and workout period. Significant increases in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value. On an ongoing basis, management verifies the fair value by reviewing the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model and its significant inputs.

The following reflects the fair value of financial instruments as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, whether or not recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition at fair value (in thousands).

The following, as supplemented by the discussion above, describes the valuation techniques used in estimating the fair value of our financial instruments as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell are collateralized financing transactions that are recorded at their contractual amounts plus accrued interest. The carrying values at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019 approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Securities held to maturity are recorded at amortized cost based on our company’s positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Securities held to maturity include agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, consisting of collateralized loan obligation securities and corporate fixed income securities. The estimated fair value, included in the above table, is determined using several factors; however, primary weight is given to discounted cash flow modeling techniques that incorporated an estimated discount rate based upon recent observable debt security issuances with similar characteristics.

Loans held for sale consist of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential real estate mortgage loans intended for sale. Loans held for sale are stated at lower of cost or market value. Market value is determined based on prevailing market prices for loans with similar characteristics or on sale contract prices.

The fair values of mortgage loans and commercial loans were estimated using a discounted cash flow method, a form of the income approach. Discount rates were determined considering rates at which similar portfolios of loans, with similar remaining maturities, would be made and considering liquidity spreads applicable to each loan portfolio based on the secondary market.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are collateralized financing transactions that are recorded at their contractual amounts plus accrued interest. The carrying values at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019 approximate fair value due to the short-term nature.

The fair value of interest-bearing deposits, including certificates of deposits, demand deposits, savings, and checking accounts, was calculated by discounting the future cash flows using discount rates based on the replacement cost of funding of similar structures and terms.

FHLB advances reflect terms that approximate current market rates for similar borrowings.

The carrying amount of borrowings approximates fair value due to the relative short-term nature of such ~~borrowings. In addition, Stifel Bancorp’s FHLB advances reflect terms that approximate current market rates for similar~~ borrowings.

The fair value of our senior notes is estimated based upon quoted market prices.

The fair value of our trust preferred securities is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. We have assumed a discount rate based on similar type debt instruments.

These fair value disclosures represent our best estimates based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected losses, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of the various instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the above methodologies and assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

23Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted the new accounting standard for credit losses that requires evaluation of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities for any expected losses with recognition of an allowance for credit losses, when applicable. For more information, see Note 1 – Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. At March 31, 2020, we did not have an allowance for credit losses recorded on our investment portfolio.

Accrued interest receivable for our investment portfolio at March 31, 2020 was $38.2 million and is reported in other assets in the consolidated statements of financial condition. We do not include reserves for interest receivable in the measurement of the allowance for credit losses.

~~For~~During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we received proceeds of ~~$155.3~~$288.3 million, from the sale of available-for-sale securities, which resulted in a realized loss of ~~$0.3~~$0.7 million. There were no0 sales of available-for-sale securities during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, unrealized losses, net of deferred taxes, of $73.2 million and ~~June 30, 2018,~~ unrealized gains, net of deferred taxes of $16.3 million and unrealized losses, net of deferred taxes of $11.9 million were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of financial condition. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, unrealized gains, net of deferred taxes, of $42.1 million and unrealized losses, net of deferred taxes, of $24.9$25.8 million were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the amortized cost of ~~143~~165 securities classified as available for sale exceeded their fair value by ~~$11.1~~$125.8 million, of which ~~$6.2~~$40.5 million related to investment securities that had been in a loss position for 12 months or longer. The total fair value of these investments at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, was ~~$1.4~~$2.2 billion, which was ~~50.0%~~63.9% of our available-for-sale portfolio.

The Company uses Moody credit ratings as the ~~carrying value of 136~~credit quality indicator for its held-to-maturity debt securities. Each security is evaluated at least quarterly. The indicators represent the rating for debt securities, held to maturity exceeded their fair value by $35.6 million, of which $26.5 million related to securities held to maturity that have been in a loss position for 12 months or longer. As discussed in more detail below, we conduct periodic reviews of all securities with unrealized losses to assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary.

We evaluate all securities in an unrealized loss position quarterly to assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. Our other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) assessment is a subjective process requiring the use of judgments and assumptions. There was no credit-related OTTI recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

~~We believe the gross unrealized losses of $46.7 million related to our investment portfolio,~~ as of June 30, 2019, are attributable to issuer-specific credit spreads and changes in market interest rates and asset spreads. We, therefore, do not expect to incur any credit losses related to these securities. In addition, we have no intent to sell these securities with unrealized losses, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities prior to recovery ofthe date presented, based on the most recent assessment performed. The following table shows the amortized ~~cost. Accordingly, we have concluded that the impairment on these~~cost of our held-to-maturity securities ~~is not other-than-temporary.~~by credit quality indicator at March 31, 2020 (in thousands):

Commercial and industrial (C&I). C&I loans primarily include commercial and industrial lending used for general corporate purposes, working capital and liquidity, and “event-driven." “Event-driven” loans support client merger, acquisition or recapitalization activities. C&I lending is structured as revolving lines of credit, letter of credit facilities, term loans and bridge loans. Risk factors considered in determining the allowance for corporate loans include the borrower’s financial strength, seniority of the loan, collateral type, leverage, volatility of collateral value, debt cushion, and covenants.

Real Estate. Real estate loans include residential real estate non-conforming loans, residential real estate conforming loans, commercial real estate, and home equity lines of credit. The allowance methodology related to real estate loans considers several

factors, including, but not limited to, loan-to-value ratio, FICO score, home price index, delinquency status, credit limits, and utilization rates.

Securities-based loans. Securities-based loans allow clients to borrow money against the value of qualifying securities for any suitable purpose other than purchasing, trading, or carrying securities or refinancing margin debt. The majority of consumer loans are structured as revolving lines of credit and letter of credit facilities and are primarily offered through Stifel’s Pledged Asset ("SPA") program. The allowance methodology for securities-based lending considers the collateral type underlying the loan, including the liquidity and trading volume of the collateral, position concentration and other borrower specific factors such as personal guarantees.

Construction and land. Short-term loans used to finance the development of a real estate project.

Other. Other loans include consumer loans and credit card ~~and indirect~~ lending.

In determining the amount of our allowance, we rely on an analysis of our loan portfolio, our experience and our evaluation of general economic conditions. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, our current allowance may not be sufficient to cover future loan losses and we may experience significant increases to our provision.

~~There are two components of the allowance for loan losses: the inherent allowance component and the specific allowance component.~~

The inherent allowance component of the allowance for loan losses is used to estimate the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and includes non-homogeneous loans that have not been identified as impaired and portfolios of smaller balance homogeneous loans. The Company maintains methodologies by loan product for calculating an allowance for loan losses that estimates the inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Qualitative and environmental factors such as economic and business conditions, nature and volume of the portfolio and lending terms, and volume and severity of past due loans may also be considered in the calculations. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level reasonable to ensure that it can adequately absorb the estimated probable losses inherent in the portfolio.

The specific allowance component of the allowance for loan losses is used to estimate probable losses for non-homogeneous exposures, including loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring, which have been specifically identified for impairment analysis by the Company and determined to be impaired. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had ~~$23.5~~$14.4 million of impaired loans, net of discounts, which included ~~$7.9~~$0.2 million in troubled debt restructurings. The specific allowance on impaired loans at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 was ~~$8.3~~$8.2 million. At December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, we had ~~$24.4~~$14.6 million of impaired loans, net of discounts, which included ~~$9.1~~$0.2 million in troubled debt restructurings. The specific allowance on impaired loans at December 31, ~~2018~~2019 was ~~$8.7~~$8.2 million. The gross interest income related to impaired loans, which would have been recorded, had these loans been current in accordance with their original terms, and the interest income recognized on these loans during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ were insignificant to the consolidated financial statements.

The tables below present loans that were individually evaluated for impairment by portfolio segment at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, including the average recorded investment balance for the year to date period presented (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2020, bank loans were primarily extended to non-investment grade borrowers. Substantially all of these loans align with the U.S. Federal bank regulatory agencies’ definition of Pass. Loans meet the definition of Pass when they are performing and do not demonstrate adverse characteristics that are likely to result in a credit loss. A loan is determined to be impaired when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due or when collection becomes uncertain. At the time a loan is determined to be impaired, the accrual of interest and amortization of deferred loan origination fees is discontinued (“non-accrual status”), and any accrued and unpaid interest income is reversed.

We closely monitor economic conditions and loan performance trends to manage and evaluate our exposure to credit risk. Trends in delinquency ratios are an indicator, among other considerations, of credit risk within our loan portfolio. The level of nonperforming assets represents another indicator of the potential for future credit losses. Accordingly, key metrics we track and use in evaluating the credit quality of our loan portfolio include delinquency and nonperforming asset rates, as well as charge-off rates and our internal risk ratings of the loan portfolio. In general, we are a secured lender. At ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018, 98.1%~~2019, 97.7% and ~~98.4%~~98.3% of our loan portfolio was collateralized, respectively. Collateral is required in accordance with the normal credit evaluation process based upon the creditworthiness of the customer and the credit risk associated with the particular transaction. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass. A credit exposure rated pass has a continued expectation of timely repayment, all obligations of the borrower are current, and the obligor complies with material terms and conditions of the lending agreement.

Special Mention. Extensions of credit that have potential weakness that deserve management’s close attention, and if left uncorrected may, at some future date, result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position.

Substandard. Obligor has a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the repayment of the debt and has a high probability of payment default with the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if noted deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Inherent weakness in the exposure makes the collection or repayment in full, based on existing facts, conditions and circumstances, highly improbable, and the amount of loss is uncertain.

Substandard loans are regularly reviewed for impairment. Doubtful loans are considered impaired. When a loan is impaired the impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of our loan portfolio was as follows (in thousands):

The adjustments to goodwill and intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020, are primarily attributable to the sale of ZCM, and the acquisitions of MainFirst Bank AG on November 1, 2019 and GMP Capital, Inc. on December 6, 2019.

Our short-term financing is generally obtained through short-term bank line financing on an uncommitted, secured basis, securities lending arrangements, repurchase agreements, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, term loans, and committed bank line financing on an unsecured basis. We borrow from various banks on a demand basis with company-owned and customer securities pledged as collateral. The value of customer-owned securities used as collateral is not reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition. We also have an unsecured, committed bank line available.

Our uncommitted secured lines of credit at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, totaled ~~$900.0~~$835.0 million with ~~five~~4 banks and are dependent on having appropriate collateral, as determined by the bank agreements, to secure an advance under the line. The availability of our uncommitted lines is subject to approval by the individual banks each time an advance is requested and may be denied. Our peak daily borrowing on our uncommitted secured lines was ~~$276.0~~$490.0 million during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. There are no0 compensating balance requirements under these arrangements. Any borrowings on secured lines of credit are generally utilized to finance certain fixed income securities. At ~~June 30, 2019, we had no outstanding balances~~March 31, 2020, borrowings on our uncommitted secured lines of ~~credit.~~credit of $198.0 million, included in borrowings in the consolidated statements of financial condition, were collateralized by company-owned securities valued at $220.7 million.

The Federal Home Loan advances of $250.0 million as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 are floating-rate advances. The weighted average interest rates on these advances during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 was ~~2.12% and 1.81%, respectively.~~1.59%. The advances are secured by Stifel Bancorp’s residential mortgage loan portfolio and investment portfolio. The interest rates reset on a daily basis. Stifel Bancorp has the option to prepay these advances without penalty on the interest reset date.

Our committed bank line financing at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, consisted of a $200.0 million revolving credit facility. The credit facility expires in March 2024. The applicable interest rate under the revolving credit facility is calculated as a per annum rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75%, as defined in the revolving credit facility. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had no0 advances on our revolving credit facility and were in compliance with all covenants.

Stifel, our broker-dealer subsidiary, has a 364-day Credit Agreement (“Stifel Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of June 2020 in which the lenders are a number of financial institutions. This committed unsecured borrowing facility provides for maximum borrowings of up to $250.0 million at variable rates of interest. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had no0 advances on the Stifel Credit Facility and were in compliance with all covenants.

A subsidiary of Stifel Bancorp is a party to two Notes that mature in 2043. The Notes bear interest contractually at fixed rates as per the Note Purchase Agreement. The outstanding balance on the Notes at June 30, 2019 was $117.7 million and is included in borrowings in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Brokerage customers’ deposits were ~~$13.5~~$15.6 billion and ~~$15.2~~$13.9 billion, respectively.

We use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date with no exchange of underlying principal amounts. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for our company making fixed payments. Our policy is not to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments and fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments recognized at fair value executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements.

The following table provides the notional values and fair values of our derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019 (in thousands):

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively modify our exposure to interest rate risk by converting floating rate debt to a fixed rate debt. The swaps have an average remaining life of ~~1.6~~0.8 years.

Any unrealized gains or losses related to cash flow hedging instruments are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings in the same period the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings and are recorded in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedging instruments is recorded in other income or other operating expense.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable rate deposits. During the next twelve months, we estimate that $1.4 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest ~~income.~~expense.

The following table shows the effect of our company’s derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ (in thousands):

We maintain a risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings caused by interest rate volatility. Our goal is to manage sensitivity to changes in rates by hedging the maturity characteristics of variable rate affiliated deposits, thereby limiting the impact on earnings. By using derivative instruments, we are exposed to credit and market risk on those derivative positions. We manage the market risk associated with interest rate contracts by establishing and monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken. Credit risk is equal to the extent of the fair value gain in a derivative if the counterparty fails to perform. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty owes our company and, therefore, creates a repayment risk for our company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, have no repayment risk. See Note 4 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion on how we determine the fair value of our financial instruments. We minimize the credit (or repayment) risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties that are reviewed periodically by senior management.

We have agreements with our derivative counterparties containing provisions where if we default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

We have agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties that contain provisions where if our shareholders’ equity declines below a specified threshold or if we fail to maintain a specified minimum shareholders’ equity, then we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

Certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if a specified event or condition occurs that materially changes our creditworthiness in an adverse manner, we may be required to fully collateralize our obligations under the derivative instrument.

Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to ~~maintain our~~meet specific capital requirements under the capital adequacy ~~requirements.~~ guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action administered by the Federal and state banking agencies.

If we were to lose our status as “adequately capitalized,” we would be in violation of those provisions, and the counterparties of the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions.

In the event of counterparty default, our economic loss may be higher than the uncollateralized exposure of our derivatives if we were not able to replace the defaulted derivatives in a timely fashion. We monitor the risk that our uncollateralized exposure to each of our counterparties for interest rate swaps will increase under certain adverse market conditions by performing periodic market stress tests. These tests evaluate the potential additional uncollateralized exposure we would have to each of these derivative counterparties assuming changes in the level of market rates over a brief time period.

In the normal course of business, we enter into underwriting commitments. Settlement of transactions relating to such underwriting commitments, which were open at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, had no material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

As a part of our fixed income public finance operations, we enter into forward commitments to purchase agency mortgage-backed securities. In order to hedge the market interest rate risk to which we would otherwise be exposed between the date of the commitment and date of sale of the mortgage-backed securities, we enter into to be announced (“TBA”) security contracts with investors for generic mortgage-backed security at specific rates and prices to be delivered on settlement dates in the future. We may be subject to loss if the timing of, or the actual amount of, the mortgage-backed security differs significantly from the term and notional amount of the TBA security contract to which we entered. These TBA securities and related purchase commitment are accounted for at fair value. As of March 31, 2020, the fair value of the TBA securities and the estimated fair value of the purchase commitments were $179.4 million.

We also provide guarantees to securities clearinghouses and exchanges under their standard membership agreement, which requires members to guarantee the performance of other members. Under the agreement, if another member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearinghouse, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. Our liability under these agreements is not quantifiable and may exceed the cash and securities we have posted as collateral. However, the potential requirement for us to make payments under these arrangements is considered remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these arrangements.

In the ordinary course of business, Stifel Bancorp has commitments to extend credit in the form of commitments to originate loans, standby letters of credit, and lines of credit. See Note 21 in the notes to consolidated financial statements for further details.

We provide investment, capital-raising, and related services to a diverse group of domestic customers, including governments, corporations, and institutional and individual investors. Our exposure to credit risk associated with the non-performance of customers in fulfilling their contractual obligations pursuant to securities transactions can be directly impacted by volatile securities markets, credit markets, and regulatory changes. This exposure is measured on an individual customer basis and on a group basis for customers that share similar attributes. To reduce the potential for risk concentrations, counterparty credit limits have been implemented for certain products and are continually monitored in light of changing customer and market conditions. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we did not have significant concentrations of credit risk with any one customer or counterparty, or any group of customers or counterparties.

Our company and its subsidiaries are named in and subject to various proceedings and claims arising primarily from our securities business activities, including lawsuits, arbitration claims, class actions, and regulatory matters. Some of these claims seek substantial

compensatory, punitive, or indeterminate damages. Our company and its subsidiaries are also involved in other reviews, investigations, and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory organizations regarding our business, which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions, and other relief. We are contesting allegations in these claims, and we believe that there are meritorious defenses in each of these lawsuits, arbitrations, and regulatory investigations. In view of the number and diversity of claims against our company, the number of jurisdictions in which litigation is pending, and the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and other claims, we cannot state with certainty what the eventual outcome of pending litigation or other claims will be.

We have established reserves for potential losses that are probable and reasonably estimable that may result from pending and potential legal actions, investigations, and regulatory proceedings. In many cases, however, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or reasonably possible or to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss, particularly where proceedings may be in relatively early stages or where plaintiffs are seeking substantial or indeterminate damages. Matters frequently need to be more developed before a loss or range of loss can reasonably be estimated.

In our opinion, based on currently available information, review with outside legal counsel, and consideration of amounts provided for in our consolidated financial statements with respect to these matters, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. However, resolution of one or more of these matters may have a material effect on the results of operations in any future period, depending upon the ultimate resolution of those matters and depending upon the level of income for such period. For matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, based on currently available information, we believe that such losses will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and are subject to capital requirements, which may limit distributions to our company from its subsidiaries. Distributions from our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to net capital rules. A broker-dealer that fails to comply with the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) may be subject to disciplinary actions by the SEC and self-regulatory organizations, such as FINRA, including censures, fines, suspension, or expulsion. Stifel has chosen to calculate its net capital under the alternative method, which prescribes that their net capital shall not be less than the greater of $1.0 million or ~~two~~2 percent of aggregate debit balances (primarily receivables from customers) computed in accordance with the SEC’s Customer Protection Rule (Rule 15c3-3). Our other broker-dealer subsidiaries calculate their net capital under the aggregate indebtedness method, whereby their aggregate indebtedness may not be greater than ~~fifteen~~15 times their net capital (as defined).

Our international subsidiary, SNEL, is subject to the regulatory supervision and requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) in the United Kingdom. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, our international subsidiary’s capital and reserves were in excess of the financial resources requirement under the rules of the FCA.

Our Canadian subsidiary, SNC, is subject to the regulatory supervision and requirements of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (“IIROC”). At March 31, 2020, SNC’s net capital and reserves were in excess of the financial resources requirement under the rules of the IIROC.

Our company, as a bank holding company, Stifel Bank & Trust, Stifel Bank, Stifel Trust Company, N.A., and Stifel Trust Company, Delaware, N.A. (collectively, ~~“bank~~“banking subsidiaries”) are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our company’s and its ~~bank~~banking subsidiaries’ financial results. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, our company and its ~~bank~~banking subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our company’s and its ~~bank~~banking subsidiaries’ capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Under the Basel III rules, the quantity and quality of regulatory capital increased, a capital conservation buffer was established, selected changes were made to the calculation of risk-weighted assets, and a new ratio, common equity Tier 1 was introduced, all of which are applicable to both our company and its ~~bank~~banking subsidiaries.

Our company and its ~~bank~~banking subsidiaries are required to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined), and under rules defined in Basel III, Common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets. Our company and its ~~bank~~banking subsidiaries each calculate these ratios in order to assess compliance with both regulatory requirements and their internal capital policies. At current capital levels, our company and its ~~bank~~banking subsidiaries are each categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective ~~action.To~~action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” our company and its ~~bank~~banking subsidiaries must maintain total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios.

The amounts and ratios for Stifel Financial Corp., Stifel Bank & Trust, and Stifel Bank as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 are represented in the tables below (in thousands, except ratios).

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, we satisfy our performance obligations by transferring the promised services to the customers. A service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring our progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that we determine the customer obtains control over the promised service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those promised services (i.e., the “transaction price”). In determining the transaction price, we consider multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, we consider the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of our past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside of our influence, such as market volatility or the judgment and actions of third parties.

The following provides detailed information on the recognition of our revenues from contracts with customers:

Commissions. We earn commission revenue by executing, settling, and clearing transactions for clients primarily in OTC and listed equity securities, insurance products, and options. Trade execution and clearing and custody services, when provided together, represent a single performance obligation as the services are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract. Commission revenues associated with combined trade execution and clearing and custody services, as well as trade execution services on a standalone basis, are recognized at a point in time on trade-date. Commission revenues are generally paid on settlement date and we record a receivable between trade-date and payment on settlement date.

Investment Banking. We provide our clients with a full range of capital markets and financial advisory services. Capital markets services include underwriting and placement agent services in both the equity and debt capital markets, including private equity placements, initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, underwriting and distributing public and private debt.

Capital raising revenues are recognized at a point in time on trade-date, as the client obtains the control and benefit of the capital markets offering at that point. Costs associated with capital raising transactions are deferred until the related revenue is recognized or the engagement is otherwise concluded, and are recorded on a gross basis within other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations as we are acting as a principal in the arrangement. Any expenses reimbursed by our clients are recognized as investment banking revenues.

Revenues from financial advisory services primarily consist of fees generated in connection with merger, acquisition and restructuring transactions. Advisory fees from mergers and acquisitions engagements are recognized at a point in time when the related transaction is completed, as the performance obligation is to successfully broker a specific transaction. Fees received prior to the completion of the transaction are deferred within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Advisory fees from restructuring engagements are recognized over time using a time elapsed measure of progress as our clients simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of those services as they are provided. A significant portion of the fees we receive for our advisory services are considered variable as they are contingent upon a future event (e.g., completion of a transaction or third party emergence from bankruptcy) and are excluded from the transaction price until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, which is expected to occur upon achievement of the specified milestone. Payment for advisory services are generally due promptly upon completion of a specified milestone or, for retainer fees, periodically over the course of the engagement. We recognize a receivable between the date of completion of the milestone and payment by the customer. Expenses associated with investment banking advisory engagements are deferred only to the extent they are explicitly reimbursable by the client and the related revenue is recognized at the same time as the associated expense. All other investment banking advisory related expenses, including expenses incurred related to restructuring assignments, are expensed as incurred. All investment banking advisory expenses are recognized within other operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and any expenses reimbursed by our clients are recognized as investment banking revenues.

Asset Management Fees. We earn management and performance fees in connection with investment advisory services provided to institutional and individual clients. Investment advisory fees are charged based on the value of assets in fee-based accounts and are affected by changes in the balances of client assets due to market fluctuations and levels of net new client assets. Fees are charged either in advance based on fixed rates applied to the value of the customers’ account at the beginning of the period or periodically based on contracted rates and account performance. Contracts can be terminated at any time with no incremental payments due to our company upon termination. If the contract is terminated by the customer fees are prorated for the period and fees charged for the post termination period are refundable to the customer.

Information on Remaining Performance Obligations and Revenue Recognized from Past Performance

We do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. The transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations with an original expected duration exceeding one year was not material at ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Investment banking advisory fees that are contingent upon completion of a specific milestone and fees associated with certain distribution services are also excluded as the fees are considered variable and not included in the transaction price at ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

The timing of our revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by our customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and we have an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, we record deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

We had receivables related to revenues from contracts with customers of ~~$142.5~~$138.5 million and ~~$116.7~~$151.3 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. We had no0 significant impairments related to these receivables during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

Our deferred revenue primarily relates to retainer fees received in investment banking advisory engagements and investment advisory fees where the performance obligation has not yet been satisfied. Deferred revenue at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019 was ~~$16.7~~$19.1 million and ~~$11.1~~$11.3 million, respectively.

We maintain an incentive stock plan and a wealth accumulation plan (“the Plan”) that provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance awards, stock units, and debentures (collectively, “deferred awards”) to our ~~employees.~~associates. We are permitted to issue new shares under all stock award plans approved by shareholders or to reissue our treasury shares. Stock awards issued under our company’s incentive stock plan are granted at market value at the date of grant. Our deferred awards generally vest ratably over a one- to ten-year vesting period.

Our stock-based compensation plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”), which has the authority to interpret the plans, determine to whom awards may be granted under the plans, and determine the terms of each award. According to the incentive stock plan, we are authorized to grant an additional ~~3.6~~2.6 million shares at ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

~~Stock-based~~Expense associated with our stock-based compensation, ~~expense~~ included in compensation and benefits expense in the consolidated statements of operations for our company’s incentive stock award ~~plan~~plans was ~~$34.1~~$37.0 million and ~~$26.9~~$29.7 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018, respectively, and $63.8 million and $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018,~~ respectively.

A restricted stock unit represents the right to receive a share of the Company’s common stock at a designated time in the future without cash payment by the employee and is issued in lieu of cash incentive, principally for deferred compensation and employee retention plans. The restricted stock units vest on an annual basis over the next one to ten years and are distributable, if vested, at future specified dates. Restricted stock awards are restricted as to sale or disposition. These restrictions lapse over the next one to five years.

Our ~~Company~~company grants Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) to certain of its executive officers. Under the terms of the grants, the number of PRSUs that will vest and convert to shares will be based on the Company's achievement of the pre-determined performance objectives during the performance period. The PRSUs will be measured over a four-year performance period and vested over a five-year period. Any resulting delivery of shares for PRSUs granted as part of compensation will occur after four years for 80% of the earned award, and in the fifth year for the remaining 20% of the earned award. The number of shares converted has the potential to range from 0% to 200% based on how the Company performs during the performance period. ~~Restricted stock awards are restricted as to sale or disposition. These restrictions lapse over the next one to five years.~~ Compensation expense is amortized over the service period based on the fair value of the deferred award on the grant date. The Company’s pre-determined performance objectives must be met for the ~~deferred~~ awards to vest. ~~Employees~~Associates forfeit unvested deferred awards upon termination of employment with a corresponding reversal of compensation expense. ~~Certain deferred awards may continue to vest under certain circumstances as described in the Plan.~~ At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the total number of restricted stock units, PRSUs, and restricted stock awards outstanding was ~~15.6~~14.5 million, of which ~~13.5~~12.4 million were unvested.

At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, there was unrecognized compensation cost for deferred awards of approximately ~~$467.4~~$580.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~2.8~~2.3 years.

The Plan is provided to certain revenue producers, officers, and key administrative ~~employees,~~associates, whereby a certain percentage of their incentive compensation is deferred as defined by the Plan into company stock units, restricted stock, and debentures. Participants may elect to defer a portion of their incentive compensation. Deferred awards generally vest over a one- to ten-year period and are distributable upon vesting or at future specified dates. Deferred compensation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Elective deferrals are 100% vested.

Additionally, the Plan allows Stifel’s financial advisors who achieve certain levels of production the option to defer a certain percentage of their gross commissions. As stipulated by the Plan, the financial advisors will defer 5% of their gross commissions. The mandatory deferral is split between company restricted stock units and debentures. They have the option to defer an additional 1% of gross commissions into company stock units with a 25% matching contribution.

In addition, certain financial advisors, upon joining our company, may receive company stock units in lieu of transition cash payments. Deferred compensation related to these awards generally vests over a one- to eight-year period. Deferred compensation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the deferral period.

Eligible ~~employees~~U.S. associates of our company who have met certain service requirements may participate in the Stifel Financial Corp. Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan (the ~~“401(k) Plan”~~“Plan”). ~~Employees~~Associates are permitted within limitations imposed by tax law to make pre-tax contributions to the ~~401(k)~~ Plan. We may match certain ~~employee~~associate contributions or make additional contributions to the ~~401(k)~~ Plan at our discretion. Our contributions to profit sharing, included in compensation and benefits in the ~~401(k) Plan~~consolidated statements of operations, were ~~$3.0~~$3.5 million and ~~$6.3~~$3.4 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018, respectively and $6.4 million and $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018,~~ respectively.

In the normal course of business, we execute, settle, and finance customer and proprietary securities transactions. These activities expose our company to off-balance sheet risk in the event that customers or other parties fail to satisfy their obligations.

In accordance with industry practice, securities transactions generally settle within two business days after trade date. Should a customer or broker fail to deliver cash or securities as agreed, we may be required to purchase or sell securities at unfavorable market prices.

We borrow and lend securities to facilitate the settlement process and finance transactions, utilizing customer margin securities held as collateral. We monitor the adequacy of collateral levels on a daily basis. We periodically borrow from banks on a collateralized basis, utilizing firm and customer margin securities in compliance with SEC rules. Should the counterparty fail to return customer securities pledged, we are subject to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy our customer obligations. We control our exposure to credit risk by continually monitoring our counterparties’ positions, and where deemed necessary, we may require a deposit of additional collateral and/or a reduction or diversification of positions. Our company sells securities it does not currently own (short sales) and is obligated to subsequently purchase such securities at prevailing market prices. We are exposed to risk of loss if securities prices increase prior to closing the transactions. We control our exposure to price risk from short sales through daily review and setting position and trading limits.

We manage our risks associated with the aforementioned transactions through position and credit limits and the continuous monitoring of collateral. Additional collateral is required from customers and other counterparties when appropriate.

We have accepted collateral in connection with resale agreements, securities borrowed transactions, and customer margin loans. Under many agreements, we are permitted to sell or repledge these securities held as collateral and use these securities to enter into securities lending arrangements or to deliver to counterparties to cover short positions. At ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the fair value of securities accepted as collateral where we are permitted to sell or repledge the securities was ~~$2.5~~$2.2 billion and ~~$2.4~~$2.3 billion, respectively, and the fair value of the collateral that had been sold or repledged was ~~$762.3~~$475.5 million and ~~$535.4~~$391.6 million, respectively.

We enter into interest rate derivative contracts to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are principally used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash payments related to certain variable-rate affiliated deposits. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments. Our interest rate hedging strategies may not work in all market environments and, as a result, may not be effective in mitigating interest rate risk.

Derivatives’ notional contract amounts are not reflected as assets or liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Rather, the market or fair value of the derivative transactions are reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition as other assets or accounts payable and accrued expenses, as applicable.

For a complete discussion of our activities related to derivative instruments, see Note 12 in the notes to consolidated financial statements.

In the ordinary course of business, Stifel Bancorp has commitments to originate loans, standby letters of credit, and lines of credit. Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established by the contract. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash commitments. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if necessary, is based on the credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate, and residential real estate.

At ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, Stifel Bancorp had outstanding commitments to originate loans aggregating ~~$421.6~~$883.5 million and ~~$146.7~~$384.5 million, respectively. The commitments extended over varying periods of time, with all commitments at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, scheduled to be disbursed in the following three months.

Through Stifel Bancorp, in the normal course of business, we originate residential mortgage loans and sell them to investors. We may be required to repurchase mortgage loans that have been sold to investors in the event there are breaches of certain representations and warranties contained within the sales agreements. We may be required to repurchase mortgage loans that were sold to investors in the event that there was inadequate underwriting or fraud, or in the event that the loans become delinquent shortly after they are originated. We also may be required to indemnify certain purchasers and others against losses they incur in the event of breaches of representations and warranties and in various other circumstances, and the amount of such losses could exceed the repurchase amount of the related loans. Consequently, we may be exposed to credit risk associated with sold loans.

Standby letters of credit are irrevocable conditional commitments issued by Stifel Bancorp to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Financial standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Performance standby letters of credit are issued to guarantee performance of certain customers under non-financial contractual obligations. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Should Stifel Bancorp be obligated to perform under the standby letters of credit, it may seek recourse from the customer for reimbursement of amounts paid. At ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, Stifel Bancorp had outstanding letters of credit totaling ~~$26.8~~$33.4 million and ~~$26.3~~$38.3 million, respectively. A majority of the standby letters of credit commitments at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, have expiration terms that are less than one year.

Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Stifel Bancorp uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. At ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, Stifel Bancorp had granted unused lines of credit to commercial and consumer borrowers aggregating ~~$1.1~~$1.4 billion and ~~$919.5~~$1.5 billion, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted the new accounting standard for credit losses that requires evaluation of our loan portfolio for any expected losses with recognition of an allowance for credit losses, when applicable. For more information, see Note 1 – Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Upon the adoption of the new accounting standard, we recorded a reserve for unfunded commitments of $20.4 million, ~~respectively.~~which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated statements of financial condition. At March 31, 2020, the expected credit losses for unfunded lending commitments was $18.2 million.

We currently operate through the following ~~three~~3 business segments: Global Wealth Management, Institutional Group, and various corporate activities combined in the Other segment.

Our Global Wealth Management segment consists of ~~two~~2 businesses, the Private Client Group and Stifel Bancorp. The Private Client Group includes branch offices and independent contractor offices of our broker-dealer subsidiaries located throughout the United States. These branches provide securities brokerage services, including the sale of equities, mutual funds, fixed income products, and insurance, as well as offering banking products to their clients through our bank subsidiaries, which provide residential, consumer, and commercial lending, as well as FDIC-insured deposit accounts to customers of our ~~broker-dealer subsidiaries~~private client group and to the general public.

The Institutional Group segment includes institutional sales and trading. It provides securities brokerage, trading, and research services to institutions, with an emphasis on the sale of equity and fixed income products. This segment also includes the management of and participation in underwritings for both corporate and public finance (exclusive of sales credits generated through the private client group, which are included in the Global Wealth Management segment), merger and acquisition, and financial advisory services.

The Other segment includes interest income from stock borrow activities, unallocated interest expense, interest income and gains and losses from investments held, amortization of stock-based awards, and all unallocated overhead cost associated with the execution of orders; processing of securities transactions; custody of client securities; receipt, identification, and delivery of funds and securities; compliance with regulatory and legal requirements; internal financial accounting and controls; and general administration and acquisition charges.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted earnings per share include dilutive stock options and stock units under the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ (in thousands, except per share data):

For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ the anti-dilutive effect from restricted stock units was immaterial.

During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020, we declared and paid cash dividends of $0.17 per common share. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we declared and paid cash dividends of $0.15 ~~and $0.30 per common share. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we declared and paid cash dividends of $0.12 and $0.24~~ per common share.

We have an ongoing authorization from the Board of Directors to repurchase our common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under this plan was ~~6.8~~8.9 million. The repurchase program has no expiration date. These purchases may be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, depending upon market conditions and other factors. Repurchased shares may be used to meet obligations under our employee benefit plans and for general corporate purposes. During the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we repurchased ~~$71.1~~$56.2 million, or ~~1.3~~1.1 million shares, using existing Board authorizations at an average price of $56.32 per share to meet obligations under our company’s employee benefit plans and for general corporate purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased $125.0 million, or 2.3 million shares using existing Board authorizations at an average price of $54.95$49.74 per share to meet obligations under our company’s employee benefit plans and for general corporate purposes. During the three months ended ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we repurchased ~~$43.0~~$53.9 million, or ~~0.8~~1.0 million shares, using existing Board authorizations at an average price of $56.28 per share to meet obligations under our company’s employee benefit plans and for general corporate purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased $45.9 million, or 0.8 million shares using existing Board authorizations at an average price of $56.32$53.25 per share to meet obligations under our company’s employee benefit plans and for general corporate purposes.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we issued 1.3 million shares, which were primarily reissued from treasury. Share issuances were primarily a result of the vesting and conversion transactions under our incentive stock award plans.

On February 21, 2019, the ~~company~~Company issued $150.0 million of 6.25% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, $1.00 par value, with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (equivalent to $25 liquidation preference per depositary share). In March 2019, we completed a public offering of an additional $10.0 million of Series B Preferred, pursuant to the over-allotment option.

When, as, and if declared by the board of directors of the ~~company,~~Company, dividends will be payable at an annual rate of 6.25%, payable quarterly, in arrears. The ~~company~~Company may redeem the Series B preferred stock at its option, subject to regulatory approval, on or after March 15, 2024 or following a regulatory capital treatment event, as defined.

Our company’s involvement with VIEs is limited to entities used as investment vehicles and private equity funds, the establishment of Stifel Financial Capital Trusts, and our issuance of a convertible promissory note.

We have formed several non-consolidated investment funds with third-party investors that are typically organized as limited liability companies (“LLCs”) or limited partnerships. These partnerships and LLCs have assets of ~~$237.5~~$250.8 million at ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. For those funds where we act as the general partner, our company’s economic interest is generally limited to management fee arrangements as stipulated by the fund operating agreements. We have generally provided the third-party investors with rights to terminate the funds or to remove us as the general partner. Management fee revenue earned by our company was insignificant during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2018.~~2019. In addition, our direct investment interest in these entities is insignificant at ~~June 30, 2019.~~

Thomas Weisel Capital Management LLC, a subsidiary of our company, acts as the general partner of a series of investment funds in venture capital and fund of funds and manages investment funds that are active buyers of secondary interests in private equity funds, as well as portfolios of direct interests in venture-backed companies. These partnerships have combined assets of $223.4 million at June 30, 2019. We hold variable interests in these funds as a result of our company’s rights to receive management fees. Our company’s investment in and additional capital commitments to the private equity funds are also considered variable interests. The additional capital commitments are subject to call at a later date and are limited in amount. Our exposure to loss is limited to our investments in, advances and commitments to, and receivables due from these funds, and that exposure is insignificant at June 30, 2019. Management fee revenue earned by our company was insignificant during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.March 31, 2020.

For the entities noted above that were determined to be VIEs, we have concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary, and therefore, we are not required to consolidate these entities.

We have completed private placements of cumulative trust preferred securities through Stifel Financial Capital Trust II, Stifel Financial Capital Trust III, and Stifel Financial Capital Trust IV (collectively, the “Trusts”). The Trusts are non-consolidated wholly owned business trust subsidiaries of our company and were established for the limited purpose of issuing trust securities to third parties and lending the proceeds to our company.

The trust preferred securities represent an indirect interest in junior subordinated debentures purchased from our company by the Trusts, and we effectively provide for the full and unconditional guarantee of the securities issued by the Trusts. We make timely payments of interest to the Trusts as required by contractual obligations, which are sufficient to cover payments due on the securities issued by the Trusts, and believe that it is unlikely that any circumstances would occur that would make it necessary for our company to make payments related to these Trusts other than those required under the terms of the debenture agreements and the trust preferred securities agreements. The Trusts were determined to be VIEs because the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have adequate decision-making ability over the Trust’s activities. Our investment in the Trusts is not a variable interest, because equity interests are variable interests only to the extent that the investment is considered to be at risk. Because our investment was funded by the Trusts, it is not considered to be at risk.

On July 31, 2018, the Company purchased 100% of the share capital of Jet Holding S.a.r.l. (“Jet Holdings”), which is the owner of 100% of the outstanding E-Certificates in FAN Engine Securitization Ltd. (“FAN”). FAN is a securitization which purchases, leases, and disposes of commercial aircraft engines. As of the acquisition date, FAN owned 24 leased aircraft engines through common law trusts and FAN Leasing Dublin Limited, all of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of FAN.

As the holder of the E-Certificate, our obligation to absorb losses is limited to the equity at risk (in this instance the consideration paid to acquire the E-Certificate). The residual returns that could be potentially generated by the activities of FAN are not pro rata with our ownership interests in the securitization. In addition, we have the power to direct the activities of FAN. As such, we have determined that FAN is a variable interest entity with Jet Holdings the primary beneficiary; therefore, FAN has been consolidated in our financial statements.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the assets of FAN, which primarily consisted of aircraft engines, certain of which are under operating leases, and liabilities, which primarily consisted of debt, were immaterial to our consolidated statements of financial condition.

We evaluate subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. There are ~~two~~2 types of subsequent events: (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. Based on the evaluation, we did not identify any ~~recognized~~ subsequent events that would have required adjustment to the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of ~~our company~~the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in ~~our~~the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, and the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Certain statements in this report may be considered forward-looking. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements cover, among other things, statements made about general economic and market conditions, the investment banking industry, ~~our~~ objectives and results, and also may include ~~our~~the Company’s belief regarding the effect of various legal proceedings, management expectations, ~~our~~ liquidity and funding sources, counterparty credit risk, or other similar matters. In addition, statements about the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s businesses and results of operations and financial condition may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable, and in many cases, beyond the Company’s control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on its customers, third-parties, and the Company.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including those factors discussed ~~below~~ under “External Factors Impacting Our Business” and “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the factors identified under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of ~~our~~the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, as updated in ~~our~~ subsequent reports filed with the SEC. These reports are available at ~~our~~the Company’s web site at www.stifel.com and at the SEC web site at www.sec.gov.

Because of these and other uncertainties, ~~our~~the Company’s actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, ~~our~~the Company’s past results of operations do not necessarily indicate ~~our~~its future results. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and ~~we undertake~~the Company undertakes no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events, unless ~~we are~~it is obligated to do so under federal securities laws.

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or “our company” in this report refer to Stifel Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

We operate as a financial services and bank holding company. We have built a diversified business serving private clients, institutional investors, and investment banking clients located across the United States and in Europe. Our principal activities are: (i) private client services, including securities transaction and financial planning services; (ii) institutional equity and fixed income sales, trading and research, and municipal finance; (iii) investment banking services, including mergers and acquisitions, public offerings, and private placements; and (iv) retail and commercial banking, including personal and commercial lending programs.

We attract and retain experienced professionals by fostering a culture of entrepreneurial, long-term thinking. We provide our private, institutional and corporate clients quality, personalized service, with the theory that if we place clients’ needs first, both our clients and our company will prosper. Our unwavering client and employee focus have earned us a reputation as one of the leading brokerage and investment banking firms off Wall Street. We have grown our business both organically and through opportunistic acquisitions.

We plan to maintain our focus on revenue growth with a continued appreciation for the development of quality client relationships. Within our private client business, our efforts will be focused on recruiting experienced financial advisors with established client relationships. Within our capital markets business, our focus continues to be on providing quality client management and product diversification. In executing our growth strategy, we will continue to seek out opportunities that allow us to take advantage of the consolidation among middle-market firms, whereby allowing us to increase market share in our Global Wealth Management and Institutional Group businesses.

Our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and productive ~~employees~~associates is critical to the success of our business. Accordingly, compensation and benefits comprise the largest component of our expenses, and our performance is dependent upon our ability to attract, develop and retain highly skilled ~~employees~~associates who are motivated and committed to providing the highest quality of service and guidance to our clients.

In the ~~Company completed~~first quarter of 2020, the ~~acquisition~~World Health Organization declared the outbreak of ~~First Empire Holding Corp.~~a novel strand of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures attempting to contain the spread and ~~its subsidiaries (“First Empire”),~~impact of COVID-19, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and limitations on business activity, including ~~First Empire Securities, Inc., an institutional broker-dealer specializing~~closures. These measures are, among other things, severely restricting global economic activity, which is disrupting global supply chains, lowering asset valuations, significantly increasing unemployment and underemployment levels, decreasing liquidity in markets for certain securities and causing significant volatility and disruptions in the ~~fixed income~~financial, energy and commodity markets. These measures have also negatively impacted, and could continue to negatively impact businesses, market participants, our counterparties and clients, and the U.S. and/or global economy for a prolonged period of time.

To address the economic impact in the U.S., in March and April 2020, the President signed into law four economic stimulus packages to provide relief to businesses and individuals, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). Among other measures, the CARES Act created funding for the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which provides loans to small businesses to keep their employees on payroll and make other eligible payments. The ~~acquisition~~original funding for the PPP was ~~funded~~fully allocated by mid-April 2020, with ~~cash from operations.~~additional funding made available on April 24, 2020 under the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act.

On ~~February 28, 2019,~~April 9, 2020, the ~~Company completed an underwritten registered public offering~~Board of ~~$150 million 6.25% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B~~Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“~~Series B Preferred”~~Federal Reserve”). took additional steps to bolster the economy by providing additional funding sources for small and midsized businesses as well as for state and local governments as they work through cash flow stresses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Federal Reserve has taken other steps to provide fiscal and monetary stimuli, including reducing the federal funds rate and the interest rate on the Federal Reserve’s discount window, and implementing programs to promote liquidity in certain securities markets.

In ~~March 2019, we completed a public offering of an additional $10.0 million of Series B Preferred, pursuant~~response to the ~~over-allotment option.~~pandemic, we have implemented protocols and processes to help protect our associates and clients. These measures include:

~~On July 1, 2019,~~In connection with reviewing our financial condition in light of the ~~Company completed the acquisition~~pandemic, we evaluated our assets, including goodwill and other intangibles, for potential impairment, and reviewed fair values of ~~Mooreland Partners, an independent M&A~~financial instruments that are carried at fair value. Based upon our review as of March 31, 2020, no impairments have been recorded and ~~private capital advisory firm serving the global technology industry. The acquisition was funded with cash from operations.~~there have been no significant changes in fair value hierarchy classifications.

For the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, net revenues increased ~~7.8%~~18.5% to ~~$800.8~~$913.0 million from ~~$742.7~~$770.4 million during the comparable period in ~~2018.~~2019. Net income available to common shareholders ~~increased 22.2%~~decreased 15.6% to ~~$103.8~~$81.7 million, or ~~$1.31~~$1.07 per diluted common share for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, compared to ~~$84.9~~$96.9 million, or ~~$1.04~~$1.22 per diluted common share during the comparable period in ~~2018.~~2019.

~~For~~Net revenues, compared with the ~~six months ended June 30,~~first quarter of 2019, ~~net~~reflected significantly higher brokerage revenues, increased ~~5.2% to~~capital raising revenues, and asset management and service fees, partially offset by lower advisory fee revenues and net interest income. Net revenues, compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, reflected significantly lower advisory fee revenues and a ~~record $1.6 billion compared to $1.5 billion during the comparable period~~decline in ~~2018.~~ capital raising revenues, partially offset by an increase in brokerage revenues, asset management and service fees, and net interest income.

Net income available to common shareholders, ~~increased 17.1% to $200.7 million, or $2.53 per diluted common share~~compared with the first quarter of 2019, was negatively impacted by the increase in the provision for ~~the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $171.4 million, or $2.10 per diluted common share during the comparable period in 2018.~~

~~Our revenue growth for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was~~loan losses primarily attributable to ~~an increase~~the adoption of the expected credit loss standard on January 1, 2020, higher compensation costs as we continued to invest in ~~capital raising revenues,~~our franchise during the pandemic, and higher ~~net interest income as a result of an increase in interest-earning assets at Stifel Bancorp;~~volume-related costs, partially offset by the growth in ~~asset management and service fees~~net revenues as ~~a result of increased assets under management; and an increase in principal transaction revenues; partially offset by a decrease in advisory fees and commission revenues.~~

Our revenue growth for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to higher net interest income as a result of an increase in interest-earning assets at Stifel Bancorp, an increase in principal transaction revenues, the growth in asset management and service fees as a result of increased assets under management, and an increase in advisory fees and capital raising revenues; partially offset by a decrease in commissions revenues.previously discussed.

Performance in the financial services industry in which we operate is highly correlated to the overall strength of economic conditions and financial market activity. Overall market conditions are a product of many factors, which are beyond our control and mostly unpredictable. These factors may affect the financial decisions made by investors, including their level of participation in the financial markets. In turn, these decisions may affect our business results. With respect to financial market activity, our profitability is sensitive to a variety of factors, including the demand for investment banking services as reflected by the number and size of equity and debt

financings and merger and acquisition transactions, the volatility of the equity and fixed income markets, the level and shape of various yield curves, the volume and value of trading in securities, and the value of our customers’ assets under management.

The ~~municipal underwriting~~COVID-19 pandemic has, and will likely continue to, severely impact global economic conditions, resulting in substantial volatility in the global financial markets, increased unemployment, and operational challenges such as the temporary closures of businesses, sheltering-in-place directives and increased remote work protocols. Governments and central banks around the world have reacted to the economic crisis caused by the pandemic by implementing stimulus and liquidity programs and cutting interest rates, though it is unclear whether these or future actions will be successful in countering the economic disruption. If the pandemic is prolonged or the actions of governments and central banks are unsuccessful, the adverse impact on the global economy will deepen, and our results of operations and financial condition in future quarters will be adversely affected.

Towards the end of the first quarter of 2020 and into the second quarter of 2020, the pandemic impacted each of our business segments and such impact will likely be greater in future quarters if current conditions persist or worsen (e.g., decline and volatility of asset prices, reduction in interest rates, widening of credit spreads, credit deterioration, market volatility and reduced investment banking advisory activity). The impact of the pandemic has resulted in significant decreases in the valuation of loans and commitments, investments and certain classes of trading assets, an increase in the allowance for credit losses, reduced net interest income, and reduced investment banking advisory fees. At the same time, increased revenues that we have realized for certain products related to high levels of client trading activity may not be replicated in future quarters. For more information on the factors impacting our business as a result of the pandemic, see “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted the new accounting standard on current expected credit losses (“CECL”), under which the allowance is ~~challenging as state and local governments reduce their debt levels. Investors are showing~~measured based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. Upon adoption of the new accounting standard, we recorded a ~~lack~~$10.4 million, or a 10.7% increase to the allowance for credit losses. In addition, during the first quarter of ~~demand for longer-dated municipals and are reluctant~~2020 we built $16.2 million of net loan loss reserves, reflecting the impact of changes in our company’s economic outlook on estimated lifetime losses under the CECL standard due to ~~take on credit or liquidity risks.~~the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our overall financial results continue to be highly and directly correlated to the direction and activity levels of the United States equity and fixed income markets. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the NASDAQ, S&P 500, and Dow Jones Industrial Average closed ~~20.7%~~14.2%, ~~17.3%~~20.0%, and ~~14.0% higher~~24.9% lower than their December 31, ~~2018~~2019 closing prices, respectively.

As a participant in the financial services industry, we are subject to complicated and extensive regulation of our business. The recent economic and political environment has led to legislative and regulatory initiatives, both enacted and proposed, that could substantially intensify the regulation of the financial services industry and may significantly impact us.

Asset management and service fees – Asset management and service fee revenues are primarily generated by the investment advisory fees related to asset management services provided for individual and institutional investment portfolios, along with mutual funds. Investment advisory fees are earned on assets held in managed or non-discretionary asset-based programs. Fees from private client investment portfolios and institutional fees are typically based on asset values at the end of the prior period. Asset balances are impacted by both the performance of the market and levels of net new client assets. Rising markets have historically had a positive impact on investment advisory fee revenues as existing accounts increase in value, and individuals and institutions may commit incremental funds in rising markets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, interest revenue increased 29.7% to $379.0 million from $292.2 million in the comparable period in 2018, principally as a result of an increase in interest revenue generated from the interest-earning assets of Stifel Bancorp and higher margin interest income. The average interest-earning assets of Stifel Bancorp increased to $16.7 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $15.1 billion during the comparable period in 2018 at average interest rates of 3.88% and 3.33%3.87%, respectively.

Compensation and benefits – Compensation and benefits expenses, which are the largest component of our expenses, include salaries, bonuses, transition pay, benefits, amortization of stock-based compensation, employment taxes and other employee-related costs. A significant portion of compensation expense is comprised of production-based variable compensation, including discretionary bonuses, which fluctuates in proportion to the level of business activity, increasing with higher revenues and operating profits. Other compensation costs, including base salaries, stock-based compensation amortization, and benefits, are more fixed in nature.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, occupancy and equipment rental expense increased 7.8% to $119.9 million from $111.2 million during the comparable period in 2018.~~2019. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in ~~depreciation~~data processing costs and higher rent expense as a result of ~~the expansion of our aircraft engine leasing business and~~ an increase in locations.

supplies expense ~~decreased 4.3%~~increased 15.2% to ~~$35.1~~$41.1 million from ~~$36.6~~$35.7 million during the comparable period in ~~2018.

The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in ~~institutional fixed income~~ brokerage trading volumes.

Provision for loan losses – For the three months ended March 31, 2020, provision for loan losses increased 731.3% to $19.0 million from $2.3 million during the comparable period in 2019. The provision for loan losses was impacted by growth in the loan portfolio and the impact of accounting for credit losses under the CECL standard, which was heightened by the impact of COVID-19 on the broader economic environment.

Other operating expenses – Other operating expenses primarily include license and registration fees, litigation-related expenses, which consist of amounts we reserve and/or pay out related to legal and regulatory matters, travel and entertainment, promotional expenses and expenses for professional services.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, other operating expenses decreased 4.2% to $147.8 million from $154.3 million during the comparable period in 2018.

Increases and decreases in interest revenue and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning bank assets and liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the previous year's average yield/cost. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average yield/cost by the previous year's volume. Changes applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately.

For the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, interest revenue of ~~$160.0~~$145.1 million was generated from average interest-earning assets of ~~$16.4~~$17.3 billion at an average interest rate of ~~3.89%~~3.36%. Interest revenue of ~~$132.8~~$164.3 million for the comparable period in ~~2018~~2019 was generated from average interest-earning assets of ~~$15.4~~$17.0 billion at an average interest rate of ~~3.46%.~~

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, interest revenue of $324.3 million was generated from average interest-earning assets of $16.7 billion at an average interest rate of 3.88%. Interest revenue of $252.0 million for the comparable period in 2018 was generated from average interest-earning assets of $15.1 billion at an average interest rate of 3.33%3.87%.

The Company’s senior management establishes the liquidity and capital policies of our company. The Company’s senior management reviews business performance relative to these policies, monitors the availability of alternative sources of financing, and oversees the liquidity and interest rate sensitivity of our company’s asset and liability position.

Our assets, consisting mainly of cash or assets readily convertible into cash, are our principal source of liquidity. The liquid nature of these assets provides for flexibility in managing and financing the projected operating needs of the business. These assets are financed primarily by our equity capital, corporate debt, debentures to trusts, client credit balances, short-term bank loans, proceeds from securities lending, and other payables. We currently finance our client accounts and firm trading positions through ordinary course borrowings at floating interest rates from various banks on a demand basis, securities lending, and repurchase agreements, with company-owned and client securities pledged as collateral. Changes in securities market volumes, related client borrowing demands, underwriting activity, and levels of securities inventory affect the amount of our financing requirements.

Our bank assets consist principally of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, retained loans, and cash and cash equivalents. Stifel Bancorp’s current liquidity needs are generally met through deposits from brokerage clients and equity capital. We monitor the liquidity of our bank subsidiaries daily to ensure its ability to meet customer deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, and support asset growth.

We have an ongoing authorization from the Board of Directors to repurchase our common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions. In January 2020, the Board of Directors approved the increase of an additional 4.9 million shares, bringing the authorized share repurchase amount to 10.0 million shares. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under this plan was ~~6.8~~8.9 million. We utilize the share repurchase program to manage our equity capital relative to the growth of our business and help to meet obligations under our employee benefit plans.

Our businesses are diverse, and our liquidity needs are determined by many factors, including market movements, collateral requirements, and client commitments, all of which can change dramatically in a difficult funding environment. During a liquidity crisis, credit-sensitive funding, including unsecured debt and some types of secured financing agreements, may be unavailable, and the terms (e.g., interest rates, collateral provisions, and tenor) or availability of other types of secured financing may change. We manage liquidity risk by diversifying our funding sources across products and among individual counterparties within those products. These liquidity risk management practices have allowed us to effectively manage the market stress that began in the first quarter of 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information on the effects of the pandemic, see Executive Summary - COVID-19 Pandemic on page 50.

As a holding company, whereby all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries, our cash flow and our ability to service our debt, including the notes, depend upon the earnings of our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities. Our subsidiaries have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes or to provide us with funds to pay our obligations, whether by dividends, distributions, loans, or other payments.

Our liquidity requirements may change in the event we need to raise more funds than anticipated to increase inventory positions, support more rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced services and products, acquire technologies, respond to acquisition opportunities, expand our recruiting efforts, or respond to other unanticipated liquidity requirements. We primarily rely on financing activities and distributions from our subsidiaries for funds to implement our business and growth strategies and repurchase our shares. Net capital rules, restrictions under our borrowing arrangements of our subsidiaries, as well as the earnings, financial condition, and cash requirements of our subsidiaries, may each limit distributions to us from our subsidiaries.

The availability of outside financing, including access to the capital markets and bank lending, depends on a variety of factors, such as market conditions, the general availability of credit, the volume of trading activities, the overall availability of credit to the financial services sector, and our credit rating. Our cost and availability of funding may be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. As a result of any future concerns about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically, lenders may from time to time curtail, or even cease to provide, funding to borrowers.

Our liquidity management policies are designed to mitigate the potential risk that we may be unable to access adequate financing to service our financial obligations without material business impact. The principal elements of our liquidity management framework are: (a) daily monitoring of our liquidity needs at the holding company and significant subsidiary level, (b) stress testing the liquidity positions of Stifel and our bank subsidiaries, and (c) diversification of our funding sources.

Monitoring of liquidity – Senior management establishes our liquidity and capital policies. These policies include senior management’s review of short- and long-term cash flow forecasts, review of monthly capital expenditures, the monitoring of the availability of alternative sources of financing, and the daily monitoring of liquidity in our significant subsidiaries. Our decisions on the allocation of capital to our business units consider, among other factors, projected profitability and cash flow, risk, and impact on future liquidity needs. Our treasury department assists in evaluating, monitoring, and controlling the impact that our business activities have on our financial condition, liquidity, and capital structure as well as maintains our relationships with various lenders. The objectives of these policies are to support the successful execution of our business strategies while ensuring ongoing and sufficient liquidity.

Liquidity stress testing (Firm-wide) –A liquidity stress test model is maintained by the Company that measures liquidity outflows across multiple scenarios at the major operating subsidiaries and details the corresponding impact to our holding company and the overall consolidated firm. Liquidity stress tests are utilized to ensure that current exposures are consistent with the Company’s established liquidity risk tolerance and, more specifically, to identify and quantify sources of potential liquidity strain. Further, the stress tests are utilized to analyze possible impacts on the Company’s cash flows, and liquidity ~~position, profitability, and solvency.~~position. The outflows are modeled over a 30-day liquidity stress timeframe and include the impact of idiosyncratic and macro-economic stress events.

The assumptions utilized in the Company’s liquidity stress tests include, but are not limited to, the following:

At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company maintained sufficient liquidity to meet current and contingent funding obligations as modeled in its liquidity stress test model.

Liquidity stress testing (Stifel Bancorp) – Our bank subsidiaries perform three primary stress tests on their liquidity position. These stress tests are based on the following company-specific stresses: (1) the amount of deposit run-off that they could withstand over a one-month period of time based on their on-balance sheet liquidity and available credit, (2) the ability to fund operations if all available credit were to be drawn immediately, with no additional available credit, and (3) the ability to fund operations under a regulatory prompt corrective action. The goal of these stress tests is to determine their ability to fund continuing operations under significant pressures on both assets and liabilities.

Under all stress tests, our bank subsidiaries consider cash and highly liquid investments as available to meet liquidity needs. In their analysis, our bank subsidiaries consider agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, and commercial mortgage-backed securities as highly liquid. In addition to being able to be readily financed at modest haircut levels, our bank subsidiaries estimate that each of the individual securities within each of the asset classes described above could be sold into the market and converted into cash within three business days under normal market conditions, assuming that the entire portfolio of a given asset class was not simultaneously liquidated. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, available cash and highly liquid investments comprised approximately ~~17%~~22% of Stifel Bancorp’s assets, which was well in excess of its internal target.

In addition to these stress tests, management performs a daily liquidity review. The daily analysis provides management with all major fluctuations in liquidity. The analysis also tracks the proportion of deposits that Stifel Bancorp is sweeping from its affiliated broker-dealer, Stifel. On a monthly basis, liquidity key performance indicators and compliance with liquidity policy limits are reported to the Board of Directors. Our banking subsidiaries have not violated any internal liquidity policy limits.

The Company pursues a strategy of diversification of secured and unsecured funding sources (by product and by investor) and attempts to ensure that the tenor of the Company’s liabilities equals or exceeds the expected holding period of the assets being financed. The Company funds its balance sheet through diverse sources. These sources may include the Company’s equity capital, long-term debt, repurchase agreements, securities lending, deposits, committed and uncommitted credit facilities, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and federal funds agreements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – We held ~~$797.4 million~~$1.4 billion of cash and cash equivalents at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, compared to ~~$1.9~~$1.1 billion at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Cash and cash equivalents provide immediate sources of funds to meet our liquidity needs.

Securities Available-for-Sale – We held ~~$2.7~~$3.4 billion in available-for-sale investment securities at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, compared to ~~$3.1~~$3.3 billion at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the weighted-average life of the investment securities portfolio was approximately ~~1.4~~1.0 years. These investment securities provide increased liquidity and flexibility to support our company’s funding requirements.

We monitor the available-for-sale investment portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment based on a number of criteria, including the size of the unrealized loss position, the duration for which the security has been in a loss position, credit rating, the nature of the investments, and current market conditions. For debt securities, we also consider any intent to sell the security and the likelihood we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. We continually monitor the ratings of our security holdings and conduct regular reviews of our credit-sensitive assets.

Deposits – Deposits have become one of our largest funding sources. Deposits provide a stable, low-cost source of funds that we utilize to fund loan and asset growth and to diversify funding sources. We have continued to expand our deposit-gathering efforts through our existing private client network and through expansion. These channels offer a broad set of deposit products that include demand deposits, money market deposits, and certificates of deposit (“CDs”).

As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had ~~$14.9~~$16.9 billion in deposits compared to ~~$15.9~~$15.3 billion at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Our core deposits are comprised of non-interest-bearing deposits, money market deposit accounts, savings accounts, and CDs.

Short-term borrowings – Our short-term financing is generally obtained through short-term bank line financing on an uncommitted, secured basis, securities lending arrangements, repurchase agreements, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, term loans, and committed bank line financing on an unsecured basis. We borrow from various banks on a demand basis with company-owned and customer securities pledged as collateral. The value of customer-owned securities used as collateral is not reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition. We also have an unsecured, committed bank ~~lines~~line available.

Our uncommitted secured lines of credit at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, totaled ~~$900.0~~$835.0 million with ~~five~~four banks and are dependent on having appropriate collateral, as determined by the bank agreements, to secure an advance under the line. The availability of our uncommitted lines is subject to approval by the individual banks each time an advance is requested and may be denied. Our peak daily borrowing on our uncommitted secured lines was ~~$276.0~~$490.0 million during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. There are no compensating balance requirements under these arrangements. Any borrowings on secured lines of credit are generally utilized to finance certain fixed income securities. At ~~June 30, 2019, we had no outstanding balances~~March 31, 2020, borrowings on our uncommitted secured lines of ~~credit.~~credit of $198.0 million, included in borrowings in the consolidated statements of financial condition, were collateralized by company-owned securities valued at $220.7 million.

The Federal Home Loan advances of $250.0 million as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 are floating-rate advances. The weighted average interest rates during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 on these advances is ~~2.12% and 1.81%, respectively.~~1.59%. The advances are secured by Stifel Bancorp’s residential mortgage loan portfolio and investment portfolio. The interest rates reset on a daily basis. Stifel Bancorp has the option to prepay these advances without penalty on the interest reset date.

Unsecured ~~short-term~~ borrowings – On March 5, 2019, we amended our existing Credit Agreement, which now expires in March 2024. The applicable interest rate under the revolving credit facility is calculated as a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.75%, as defined.

We can draw upon this line as long as certain restrictive covenants are maintained. Under our amended and restatement Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain compliance with a minimum consolidated tangible net worth covenant, as defined, and a maximum consolidated total capitalization ratio covenant, as defined. In addition, Stifel, our broker-dealer subsidiary, is required to maintain compliance with a minimum regulatory excess net capital percentage covenant, as defined, and our bank subsidiaries are required to maintain their status as well-capitalized, as defined.

Our revolving credit facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to similar obligations, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency,

and judgment defaults. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had no advances on the $200.0 million revolving credit facility and were in compliance with all ~~covenants.~~covenants and currently do not expect any covenant violations due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stifel, our broker-dealer subsidiary, has a 364-day Credit Agreement (“Stifel Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of June 2020 in which the lenders are a number of financial institutions. This committed unsecured borrowing facility provides for maximum borrowings of up to $250.0 million at variable rates of interest. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had no advances on the Stifel Credit Facility and were in compliance with all ~~covenants.~~covenants and currently do not expect any covenant violations due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and other secured financing – Stifel Bancorp has borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of ~~$3.4~~$3.1 billion at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and $59.5 million in federal funds agreements, for the purpose of purchasing short-term funds should additional liquidity be needed. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, outstanding FHLB advances were $250.0 million. Stifel Bancorp is eligible to participate in the Fed’s discount window program; however, Stifel Bancorp does not view borrowings from the Fed as a primary means of funding. The credit available in this program is subject to periodic review, may be terminated or reduced at the discretion of the Fed, and is secured by securities. Stifel Bancorp has borrowing capacity of $1.3 billion with the Fed’s discount

window at ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Stifel Bancorp receives overnight funds from excess cash held in Stifel brokerage accounts, which are deposited into a money market account. These balances totaled ~~$13.5~~$15.6 billion at ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

On October 4, 2017, we completed ~~the pricing of a~~an underwritten registered ~~underwritten~~ public offering of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.20% senior notes due October 2047. Interest on the senior notes is payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15. On or after October 15, 2022, we may redeem some or all of the senior notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date. On October 27, 2017, we completed the sale of an additional $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes pursuant to the over-allotment option. In October 2017, we received a BBB- rating on the 2017 Notes.

Preferred Stock Offerings – In July 2016, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of $150 million 6.25% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A.

In February 2019, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of $150 million 6.25% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (“Series B Preferred”). In March 2019, we completed a public offering of an additional $10.0 million of Series B Preferred, pursuant to the over-allotment option. The net proceeds from the Series B Preferred offering of $155.0 million ~~will be~~was used for general corporate purposes.

We believe our current rating depends upon a number of factors, including industry dynamics, operating and economic environment, operating results, operating margins, earnings trends and volatility, balance sheet composition, liquidity and liquidity management, our capital structure, our overall risk management, business diversification, and our market share and competitive position in the markets in which we operate. Deteriorations in any of these factors could impact our credit rating. A reduction in our credit rating could adversely affect our liquidity and competitive position, increase our incremental borrowing costs, limit our access to the capital markets, or trigger our obligations under certain financial agreements. As such, we may not be able to successfully obtain additional outside financing to fund our operations on favorable terms, or at all.

We believe our existing assets, most of which are liquid in nature, together with the funds from operations, available informal short-term credit arrangements, and our ability to raise additional capital will provide sufficient resources to meet our present and anticipated financing needs.

On January 2, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of First Empire Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries (“First Empire”), including First Empire Securities, Inc., an institutional broker-dealer specializing in the fixed income markets. The acquisition was funded with cash from operations.

On July 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Mooreland Partners, an independent M&A and private capital advisory firm serving the global technology industry. The acquisition was funded with cash from operations.

We have paid ~~$107.9~~$40.6 million in the form of upfront notes to financial advisors for transition pay during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. As we continue to take advantage of the opportunities created by market displacement and as competition for skilled professionals in the industry increases, we may decide to devote more significant resources to attracting and retaining qualified personnel.

We utilize transition pay, principally in the form of upfront demand notes, to aid financial advisors, who have elected to join our firm, to supplement their lost compensation while transitioning their customers’ accounts to the Stifel platform. The initial value of the notes is determined primarily by the financial advisors’ trailing production and assets under management. These notes are generally forgiven over a five- to ten-year period based on production. The future estimated amortization expense of the upfront notes, assuming current-year production levels and static growth for the remaining ~~six~~nine months in ~~2019,~~2020, and the years ended December 31, ~~2020,~~ 2021,

2022, 2023, 2024, and thereafter are ~~$63.4~~$89.2 million, ~~$80.8~~$90.2 million, ~~$70.8~~$80.0 million, ~~$62.3~~$70.7 million, ~~$53.4~~$58.6 million, and ~~$140.2~~$149.2 million, respectively. These estimates could change if we continue to grow our business through expansion or experience increased production levels.

We maintain an incentive stock plan and a wealth accumulation plan that provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance awards, stock units, and debentures (collectively, “deferred awards”) to our ~~employees.~~associates. Historically, we have granted stock units to our ~~employees~~associates as part of our retention program. A restricted stock unit or restricted stock award represents the right to receive a share of common stock from our company at a designated time in the future without cash payment by the employee and is issued in lieu of cash incentive, principally for deferred compensation and employee retention plans. The restricted stock units or restricted stock awards generally vest over the next one to ten years after issuance and are distributed at predetermined future payable dates once vesting occurs. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the total number of restricted stock units, ~~PRSUs.~~PRSUs, and restricted stock awards outstanding was ~~15.6~~14.5 million, of which ~~13.5~~12.4 million were unvested. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, there was unrecognized compensation cost for deferred awards of approximately ~~$467.4~~$580.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~2.8~~2.3 years.

The future estimated compensation expense of the deferred awards, assuming current year forfeiture levels and static growth for the remaining ~~six~~nine months in ~~2019,~~2020, and the years ended December 31, ~~2020,~~ 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and thereafter are ~~$62.7~~$116.0 million, ~~$115.1~~$137.3 million, ~~$98.6~~$123.6 million, ~~$85.1~~$91.8 million, ~~$55.0~~$64.2 million, and ~~$50.9~~$47.5 million, respectively. These estimates could change if our forfeitures change from historical levels.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased $56.2 million, or 1.1 million shares, using existing Board authorizations at an average price of $49.74.

Net Capital Requirements – We operate in a highly regulated environment and are subject to capital requirements, which may limit distributions to our company from our subsidiaries. Distributions from our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to net capital rules. These subsidiaries have historically operated in excess of minimum net capital requirements. However, if distributions were to be limited in the future due to the failure of our subsidiaries to comply with the net capital rules or a change in the net capital rules, it could have a material and adverse effect to our company by limiting our operations that require intensive use of capital, such as underwriting or trading activities, or limit our ability to implement our business and growth strategies, pay interest on and repay the principal of our debt, and/or repurchase our common stock. Our non-broker-dealer subsidiaries, Stifel Bank & Trust, Stifel Bank, Stifel Trust Company, N.A., and Stifel Trust Company Delaware, N.A., are also subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Our broker-dealer subsidiaries, ~~and~~ our bank subsidiaries, and Stifel Trust have consistently operated in excess of their capital adequacy requirements. Our Canadian subsidiary, Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. (“SNC”), is subject to the regulatory supervision and requirements of IIROC.

At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, Stifel had net capital of ~~$347.2~~$418.9 million, which was ~~20.2%~~25.7% of aggregate debit items and ~~$312.9~~$386.3 million in excess of its minimum required net capital. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, all of our other broker-dealer subsidiaries’ net capital exceeded the minimum net capital required under the SEC rule. At ~~June 30, 2019, our international subsidiary’s~~March 31, 2020, SNEL’s capital and reserves were in excess of the financial resources requirement under the rules of the FCA. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, our ~~bank~~banking subsidiaries were considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. At March 31, 2020, SNC’s net capital and reserves were in excess of the financial resources requirement under the rules of the IIROC. See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details of our regulatory capital requirements.

In preparing our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, we make assumptions, judgments, and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our assumptions, judgments, and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On a regular basis, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments, and estimates. We also discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

We believe that the assumptions, judgments, and estimates involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. These areas are key components of our results of operations and are based on complex rules that require us to make assumptions, judgments, and estimates, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Historically, our assumptions, judgments, and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies and estimates have not differed materially from actual results.

For ~~a full description of these and other accounting policies,~~more information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, as well as Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. Except as noted below under Allowance for Credit Losses, there have not been any material updates to our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in the MD&A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including trading securities owned, available-for-sale securities, investments, trading securities sold, but not yet purchased, and derivatives.

~~Trading securities owned and pledged and trading securities sold, but not yet purchased, are carried at fair value on~~On January 1, 2020, we adopted the ~~consolidated statements of financial condition, with unrealized gains and losses reflected on the consolidated statements of operations.~~

~~The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the price~~new accounting standard that ~~would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at~~requires the measurement date, or an exit price. The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted have less pricing observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. Pricing observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction, and overall market conditions generally.

When available, we use observable market prices, observable market parameters, or broker or dealer quotes (bid and ask prices) to derive the fair value of financial instruments. In the case of financial instruments transacted on recognized exchanges, the observable market prices represent quotations for completed transactions from the exchange on which the financial instrument is principally traded.

~~A substantial percentage~~ of the ~~fair value of our trading securities~~allowance for credit losses, which includes the allowance for loan and other investments owned, trading securities pledged as collateral, and trading securities sold, but not yet purchased, are based on observable market prices, observable market parameters, or derived from broker or dealer prices. The availability of observable market prices and pricing parameters can vary from product to product. Where available, observable market prices and pricing or market parameters in a product may be used to derive a price without requiring significant judgment. In certain markets, observable market prices or market parameters are not available for all products, and fair value is determined using techniques appropriate for each particular product. These techniques involve some degree of judgment.

For investments in illiquid or privately held securities that do not have readily determinable fair values, the determination of fair value requires us to estimate the value of the securities using the best information available. Among the factors we consider in determining the fair value of investments are the cost of the investment, terms and liquidity, developments since the acquisition of the investment, the sales price of recently issued securities, the financial condition and operating results of the issuer, earnings trends and consistency of operating cash flows, the long-term business potential of the issuer, the quoted market price of securities with similar quality and yield that are publicly traded, and other factors generally pertinent to the valuation of investments. In instances where a security is subject to transfer restrictions, the value of the security is based primarily on the quoted price of a similar security without restriction but may be reduced by an amount estimated to reflect such restrictions. The fair value of these investments is subject to a high degree of volatility and may be susceptible to significant fluctuation in the near term,lease losses and the ~~differences could~~reserve for unfunded lending commitments, to be ~~material.~~

~~We have categorized our financial instruments measured at fair value into a three-level classification in accordance with Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures.~~” Fair value measurements of financial instruments that use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are generally categorized as Level 1, and fair value measurements of financial instruments that have no direct observable levels are generally categorized as Level 3. All other fair value measurements of financial instruments that do not fall within the Level 1 or Level 3 classification are considered Level 2. The lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of a financial instrument is used to categorize the instrument and reflects the judgment of management.

~~Level 3 financial instruments have little to no pricing observability as of the report date. These financial instruments do not have active two-way markets and are measured using~~based on management’s best estimate of ~~fair value, where~~lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the ~~inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. We have identified Level 3~~Company’s relevant financial instruments to include certain asset-backed securities, consisting of collateral loan obligation securities, that have experienced low volumes of executed transactions, certain corporate bonds and equity securities where there was less frequent or nominal market activity and auction rate securities for which the market has been dislocated and largely ceased to function. Our Level 3 asset-backed securities are valued using cash flow models that utilize unobservable inputs. Level 3 corporate bonds are valued using prices from comparable securities. Equity securities with unobservable inputs are valued using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs require significant management judgment. Auction rate securities are valued based upon our expectations of issuer redemptions and using internal models.

We are involved in various pending and potential legal proceedings related to our business, including litigation, arbitration, and regulatory proceedings. Some of these matters involve claims for substantial amounts, including claims for punitive damages. We have, after consultation with outside legal counsel and consideration of facts currently known by management, recorded estimated losses in accordance with Topic 450 (“Topic 450”), “~~Contingencies~~,” to the extent that claims are probable of loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The determination of these reserve amounts requires us to use significant judgment, and our final liabilities may ultimately be materially different. This determination is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are subject to potentially significant revision as more information becomes available and due to subsequent events. In making these determinations, we consider many factors, including, but not limited to, the loss and damages sought by the plaintiff or claimant, the basis and validity of the claim, the likelihood of a successful defense against the claim, and the potential for, and magnitude of, damages or settlements from such pending and potential litigation and arbitration proceedings, and fines and penalties or orders from regulatory agencies. See Item I, “Legal Proceedings,” in Part II of this report for information on our legal, regulatory, and arbitration proceedings.

We regularly review the loan portfolio and have established an allowance for loan losses for inherent losses estimated to have occurred in the loan portfolio through a provision for loan losses charged to income. For loans, the expected credit loss is typically estimated using quantitative methods that consider a variety of factors such as historical loss experience derived from proxy data, the current credit quality of the portfolio as well as an economic outlook over the life of the loan. The life of the loan for closed-ended products is based on the contractual maturity of the loan adjusted for any expected prepayments. The contractual maturity includes any extension options that are at the sole discretion of the borrower. For open-ended products (e.g., lines of credit), the expected credit loss is determined based on the maximum repayment term associated with future draws from credit lines.

In ~~providing for~~its loss forecasting framework, we incorporate forward-looking information through the use of macroeconomic scenarios applied over the forecasted life of the assets. These macroeconomic scenarios include variables that have historically been key drivers of increases and decreases in credit losses. These variables include, but are not limited to, unemployment rates, real estate prices, gross domestic product levels, corporate bond spreads and long-term interest rate forecasts. As any one economic outlook is inherently uncertain, we leverage multiple scenarios. The scenarios that are chosen each quarter and the amount of weighting given to each scenario depend on a variety of factors including recent economic events, leading economic indicators, views of internal as well as third-party economists and industry trends.

Also included in the allowance for loan losses are qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but, in our company’s assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions described above. For example, factors that we consider ~~historical loss experience,~~include changes in lending policies and procedures, business conditions, the nature and ~~volume~~size of the ~~loan~~ portfolio, ~~adverse situations~~portfolio concentrations, the volume and severity of past due loans and nonaccrual loans, the effect of external factors such as competition, and legal and regulatory requirements, among others. Further, we consider the inherent uncertainty in quantitative models that ~~may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions.~~are built on historical data. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

~~A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due, according to the contractual terms~~The allowance for credit losses can also be impacted by unanticipated changes in asset quality of the ~~loan agreement,~~portfolio. In addition, while we have incorporated our estimated impact of COVID-19 into our allowance for credit losses, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 is still unknown, including how long economic activities will ~~not~~ be ~~collectible. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value,~~impacted and what effect the ~~probability~~unprecedented levels of ~~collecting scheduled principal~~government fiscal and ~~interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays~~monetary actions will have on the economy and ~~payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. We~~our credit losses.

As described above, the process to determine the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

~~Large groups~~credit losses requires numerous estimates and assumptions, some of ~~smaller balance homogenous loans~~which require a high degree of judgment and are ~~collectively evaluated~~often interrelated. Changes in the estimates and assumptions can result in significant changes in the allowance for ~~impairment. Accordingly, we do not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans~~credit losses. Our process for ~~impairment measurements. Impairment~~determining the allowance for credit losses is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for non-homogeneous loans, and a specific allowance is established for individual loans determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying valuefurther discussed in Note 1 of the ~~impaired loan~~Notes to the present value of its expected cash flow discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Our derivative instruments are carried on the consolidated statement of financial condition at fair value. We utilize these derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings caused by interest rate volatility. Our company’s goal is to manage sensitivity to changes in rates by offsetting the repricing or maturity characteristics of certain assets and liabilities, thereby limiting the impact on earnings. The use of derivative instruments does expose our company to credit and market risk. We manage credit risk through strict counterparty credit risk limits and/or collateralization agreements. At inception, we determine if a derivative instrument meets the criteria for hedge accounting under Topic 815, “~~Derivatives and Hedging~~.” Ongoing effectiveness evaluations are made for instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges. If the derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting, no assessment of effectiveness is needed.

The provision for income taxes and related tax reserves is based on our consideration of known liabilities and tax contingencies for multiple taxing authorities. Known liabilities are amounts that will appear on current tax returns, amounts that have been agreed to in revenue agent revisions as the result of examinations by the taxing authorities, and amounts that will follow from such examinations but affect years other than those being examined. Tax contingencies are liabilities that might arise from a successful challenge by the taxing authorities taking a contrary position or interpretation regarding the application of tax law to our tax return filings. Factors considered in estimating our liability are results of tax audits, historical experience, and consultation with tax attorneys and other experts.

~~Topic 740 (“Topic 740”), “Income Taxes~~,” clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribed recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, Topic 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

~~Under the provisions of Topic 805, “Business Combinations~~,” we record all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangible assets, at fair value. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities requires certain estimates.

Goodwill for certain acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes. The amortization of goodwill for tax purposes creates a cash tax savings due to a reduction in the current taxes payable. We have recorded cash tax savings for the six months ending June 30, 2019 of $3.4 million, and anticipate cumulative future cash savings of $54.2 million as of result of the tax amortization of goodwill.

~~In accordance with Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other~~,” indefinite-life intangible assets and goodwill are not amortized. Rather, they are subject to impairment testing on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. This test involves assigning tangible assets and liabilities as well as identified intangible assets and goodwill to reporting units and comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a further test is required to measure the amount of the impairment. We have elected to test for goodwill impairment in the third quarter of each calendar year.

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis when certain events or circumstances exist. We test for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is generally at the level of or one level below our company’s business segments. For both the annual and interim tests, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is not required. However, if we conclude otherwise, we are then required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. Goodwill impairment is determined by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its respective carrying value. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill at the reporting unit level is not deemed to be impaired. If the estimated fair value is below carrying value, however, further analysis is required to determine the amount of the impairment. Additionally, if the carrying value of a reporting unit is zero or a negative value and it is determined that it is more likely than not the goodwill is impaired, further analysis is required. The estimated fair values of the reporting units are derived based on valuation techniques we believe market participants would use for each of the reporting units. Our annual goodwill impairment testing was completed as of October 1, 2018, with no impairment identified.

The goodwill impairment test requires us to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. Assumptions, judgments, and estimates about future cash flows and discount rates are complex and often subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including, among others, economic trends and market conditions, changes in revenue growth trends or business strategies, unanticipated competition, discount rates, technology, or government regulations. In assessing the fair value of our reporting units, the volatile nature of the securities markets and industry requires us to consider the business and market cycle and assess the stage of the cycle in estimating the timing and extent of future cash flows. In addition to discounted cash flows, we consider other information, such as public market comparables and multiples of recent mergers and acquisitions of similar businesses. Although we believe the assumptions, judgments, and estimates we have made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions, judgments, and estimates could materially affect our reported financial results.

Identifiable intangible assets, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives, are tested for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable.Consolidated Financial Statements.

Risks are an inherent part of our business and activities. Management of these risks is critical to our soundness and profitability. Risk management at our company is a multi-faceted process that requires communication, judgment, and knowledge of financial products and markets. Our senior management group takes an active role in the risk management process and requires our business units to assist in the identification, assessment, monitoring, and control of various risks. The principal risks involved in our business activities are: market (interest rates and equity prices), credit, operational, and regulatory and legal.

We have been affected, and expect to continue to be affected, by market stress resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic that began in the first quarter of 2020. For more information on the effects of the pandemic, see Executive Summary - COVID-19 Pandemic on page 50.

We have adopted policies and procedures concerning Enterprise Risk Management. The Risk Management/Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors, in exercising its oversight of management's activities, conducts periodic reviews and discussions with management regarding the guidelines and policies governing the processes by which risk assessment and risk management are handled.

The potential for changes in the value of financial instruments owned by our company resulting from changes in interest rates and equity prices is referred to as “market risk.” Market risk is inherent to financial instruments, and accordingly, the scope of our market risk management procedures includes all market risk-sensitive financial instruments.

We trade tax-exempt and taxable debt obligations, including U.S. treasury bills, notes, and bonds; U.S. government agency and municipal notes and bonds; bank certificates of deposit; mortgage-backed securities; and corporate obligations. We are also an active market maker in over-the-counter equity securities. In connection with these activities, we may maintain inventories in order to ensure availability and to facilitate customer transactions.

Changes in value of our financial instruments may result from fluctuations in interest rates, credit ratings, equity prices, and the correlation among these factors, along with the level of volatility.

We manage our trading businesses by product and have established trading departments that have responsibility for each product. The trading inventories are managed with a view toward facilitating client transactions, considering the risk and profitability of each inventory position. Position limits in trading inventory accounts are established by our Enterprise Risk Management department and

monitored on a daily basis within the business units. We monitor inventory levels and results of the trading departments, as well as inventory aging, pricing, concentration, securities ratings, and risk sensitivities.

We are also exposed to market risk based on our other investing activities. These investments consist of investments in private equity partnerships, start-up companies, venture capital investments, and zero coupon U.S. government securities and are included under the caption “Investments” on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of maintaining inventories of interest rate-sensitive financial instruments and from changes in the interest rates on our interest-earning assets (including client loans, stock borrow activities, investments, inventories, and resale agreements) and our funding sources (including client cash balances, FHLB advances, stock lending activities, bank borrowings, and repurchase agreements), which finance these assets. The collateral underlying financial instruments at the broker-dealer is repriced daily, thus requiring collateral to be delivered as necessary. Interest rates on client balances and stock borrow and lending produce a positive spread to our company, with the rates generally fluctuating in parallel.

We manage our inventory exposure to interest rate risk by setting and monitoring limits and, where feasible, hedging with offsetting positions in securities with similar interest rate risk characteristics. While a significant portion of our securities inventories have contractual maturities in excess of five years, these inventories, on average, turn over several times per year.

Additionally, we monitor, on a daily basis, the Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) in our trading portfolios using a ten-day horizon and report VaR at a 99% confidence level. VaR is a statistical technique used to estimate the probability of portfolio losses based on the statistical analysis of historical price trends and volatility. This model assumes that historical changes in market conditions are representative of future changes, and trading losses on any given day could exceed the reported VaR by significant amounts in unusually volatile

markets. Further, the model involves a number of assumptions and inputs. While we believe that the assumptions and inputs we use in our risk model are reasonable, different assumptions and inputs could produce materially different VaR estimates.

The following table sets forth the high, low, and daily average VaR for our trading portfolios during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, and the daily VaR at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018~~2019 (in thousands):

Stifel Bancorp’s interest rate risk is principally associated with changes in market interest rates related to residential, consumer, and commercial lending activities, as well as FDIC-insured deposit accounts to customers of our broker-dealer subsidiaries and to the general public.

Our primary emphasis in interest rate risk management for Stifel Bancorp is the matching of assets and liabilities of similar cash flow and repricing time frames. This matching of assets and liabilities reduces exposure to interest rate movements and aids in stabilizing positive interest spreads. Stifel Bancorp has established limits for acceptable interest rate risk and acceptable portfolio value risk. To ensure that Stifel Bancorp is within the limits established for net interest margin, an analysis of net interest margin based on various shifts in interest rates is prepared each quarter and presented to Stifel Bancorp’s Board of Directors. Stifel Bancorp utilizes a third-party model to analyze the available data.

The following table illustrates the estimated change in net interest margin at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, based on shifts in interest rates of up to positive 200 basis points and negative 200 basis points:

Hypothetical change in interest rates	Projected change in net interest margin			Projected change in net interest margin

We are exposed to equity price risk as a consequence of making markets in equity securities. We attempt to reduce the risk of loss inherent in our inventory of equity securities by monitoring those security positions constantly throughout each day.

Our equity securities inventories are repriced on a regular basis, and there are no unrecorded gains or losses. Our activities as a dealer are client-driven, with the objective of meeting clients’ needs while earning a positive spread.

We are engaged in various trading and brokerage activities, with the counterparties primarily being broker-dealers. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, we may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. We manage this risk by imposing and monitoring position limits for each counterparty, monitoring trading counterparties, conducting regular credit reviews of financial counterparties, reviewing security concentrations, holding and marking to market collateral on certain transactions, and conducting business through clearing organizations, which guarantee performance.

Our client activities involve the execution, settlement, and financing of various transactions on behalf of our clients. Client activities are transacted on either a cash or margin basis. Credit exposure associated with our private client business consists primarily of customer margin accounts, which are monitored daily and are collateralized. We monitor exposure to industry sectors and individual securities and perform analyses on a regular basis in connection with our margin lending activities. We adjust our margin requirements if we believe our risk exposure is not appropriate based on market conditions.

We have accepted collateral in connection with resale agreements, securities borrowed transactions, and customer margin loans. Under many agreements, we are permitted to sell or repledge these securities held as collateral and use these securities to enter into securities lending arrangements or to deliver to counterparties to cover short positions. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the fair value of securities accepted as collateral where we are permitted to sell or repledge the securities was ~~$2.5~~$2.2 billion, and the fair value of the collateral that had been sold or repledged was ~~$762.3~~$475.5 million.

By using derivative instruments, we are exposed to credit and market risk on those derivative positions. Credit risk is equal to the fair value gain in a derivative, if the counterparty fails to perform. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty owes our company and, therefore, creates a repayment risk for our company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, have no repayment risk. We minimize the credit (or repayment) risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties that are reviewed periodically by senior management.

Stifel Bancorp extends credit to individual and commercial borrowers through a variety of loan products, including residential and commercial mortgage loans, home equity loans, construction loans, and non-real-estate commercial and consumer loans. Bank loans are generally collateralized by real estate, real property, or other assets of the borrower. Stifel Bancorp’s loan policy includes criteria to adequately underwrite, document, monitor, and manage credit risk. Underwriting requires reviewing and documenting the fundamental characteristics of credit, including character, capacity to service the debt, capital, conditions, and collateral. Benchmark capital and coverage ratios are utilized, which include liquidity, debt service coverage, credit, working capital, and capital to asset ratios. Lending limits are established to include individual, collective, committee, and board authority. Monitoring credit risk is accomplished through defined loan review procedures, including frequency and scope.

We are subject to concentration risk if we hold large positions, extend large loans to, or have large commitments with a single counterparty, borrower, or group of similar counterparties or borrowers (i.e., in the same industry). Securities purchased under agreements to resell consist of securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. Receivables from and payables to clients and stock borrow and lending activities, both with a large number of clients and counterparties, and any potential concentration is carefully monitored. Stock borrow and lending activities are executed under master netting agreements, which gives our company right of offset in the event of counterparty default. Inventory and investment positions taken and commitments made, including underwritings, may involve exposure to individual issuers and businesses. We seek to limit this risk through careful review of counterparties and borrowers and the use of limits established by our senior management group, taking into consideration factors including the financial strength of the counterparty, the size of the position or commitment, the expected duration of the position or commitment, and other positions or commitments outstanding.

Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from our operations, including, but not limited to, improper or unauthorized execution and processing of transactions, deficiencies in our technology or financial operating systems, and inadequacies or breaches in our control processes. We operate different businesses in diverse markets and are reliant on the ability of our ~~employees~~associates and systems to process a large number of transactions. These risks are less direct than credit and market risk, but managing them is critical, particularly in a rapidly changing environment with increasing transaction volumes. In the event of a breakdown or improper operation of systems or improper action by ~~employees,~~associates, we could suffer financial loss, regulatory sanctions, and damage to our reputation. In order to mitigate and control operational risk, we have developed policies and procedures that are designed to identify and manage operational risk at appropriate levels throughout the organization and within such departments as Accounting, Operations, Information Technology, Legal, Compliance, and Internal Audit. These control mechanisms attempt to ensure that operational policies and procedures are being followed and that our various businesses are operating within established corporate policies and limits. Business continuity plans exist for critical systems, and redundancies are built into the systems as deemed appropriate.

Legal risk includes the risk of private client group customer claims for sales practice violations. While these claims may not be the result of any wrongdoing, we do, at a minimum, incur costs associated with investigating and defending against such claims. See further discussion on our legal reserves policy under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 2, Part I and “Legal Proceedings” in Item 1, Part II of this report. In addition, we are subject to potentially sizable adverse legal judgments or arbitration awards, and fines, penalties, and other sanctions for non-compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We are generally subject to extensive regulation by the SEC, FINRA, and state securities regulators in the different jurisdictions in which we conduct business. As a bank holding company, we are subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve. Our bank subsidiaries are subject to regulation by the FDIC. As a result, we are subject to a risk of loss resulting from failure to comply with banking laws. Our international subsidiary, SNEL, is subject to the regulatory supervision and requirements of the FCA in the United Kingdom. Our Canadian subsidiary, SNC, is subject to the regulatory supervision and requirements of the IIROC. We have comprehensive procedures addressing issues such as regulatory capital requirements, sales and trading practices, use of and safekeeping of customer funds, the extension of credit, including margin loans, collection activities, money laundering, and record keeping. We act as an underwriter or selling group member in both equity and fixed income product offerings. Particularly when acting as lead or co-lead manager, we have potential legal exposure to claims relating to these securities offerings. To manage this exposure, a committee of senior executives review proposed underwriting commitments to assess the quality of the offering and the adequacy of due diligence investigation.

Our company, as a bank and financial holding company, is subject to regulation, including capital requirements, by the Federal Reserve. Stifel Bancorp is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and state banking authorities. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our company's and Stifel Bancorp's financial statements.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, among other things, provide reasonable assurance that material information, both financial and non-financial, and other information required under the securities laws to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, on a timely basis. Under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective as of such date.

There have been no changes in our company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Please see our discussion set forth under Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and Item 1. “Financial Statements” in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

In addition to the information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10‑Q, one should also carefully review and consider the information contained in our other reports and periodic filings that we make with the SEC, including, without limitation, the information contained under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Those risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risks that we describe in our public filings are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we presently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the following update:

Our results of operations have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ~~discussion~~coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has, and will likely continue to, severely impact global economic conditions, resulting in substantial volatility in the global financial markets, increased unemployment, and operational challenges such as the temporary closures of businesses, sheltering-in-place directives and increased remote work protocols. Governments and central banks around the world have reacted to the economic crisis caused by the pandemic by implementing stimulus and liquidity programs and cutting interest rates, though it is unclear whether these or future actions will be successful in countering the economic disruption. If the pandemic is prolonged or the actions of governments and central banks are unsuccessful, the adverse impact on the global economy will deepen, and our results of operations and financial condition in future quarters will be adversely affected.

Towards the end of the first quarter of 2020 and into the second quarter of 2020, the pandemic impacted each of our business segments and ~~operations should~~such impact will likely be ~~read together~~greater in future quarters if current conditions persist or worsen (e.g., decline and volatility of asset prices, reduction in interest rates, widening of credit spreads, credit deterioration, market volatility and reduced investment banking advisory activity). This resulted in significant decreases in the valuation of loans and commitments, investments and certain classes of trading assets, an increase in the allowance for credit losses, reduced net interest income, and reduced investment banking advisory fees. At the same time, increased revenues that we have realized for certain products related to high levels of client trading activity may not be replicated in future quarters.

Until the impact of the pandemic subsides, we expect to experience reduced client activity and demand for our products and services and higher credit and valuation losses in our loan, commitment and investment portfolios. We could also experience impairments of other financial assets and other negative impacts on our financial position, including possible constraints on capital and liquidity and possible reductions in our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, as well as a higher cost of capital, and possible changes or downgrades to our credit ratings. In addition, the sharp decline in interest rates will further decrease interest margins in our lending businesses. A continued slowdown of commercial activity would cause overall investment banking revenues to decline and the decline in assets under management and client balances will also further reduce asset management and service revenues.

Operationally, although we have initiated a remote working protocol and restricted business travel of our workforce, if significant portions of our associates, including key personnel, are unable to work effectively because of illness, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the ~~risk factors contained~~pandemic, the impact of the pandemic on our businesses could be exacerbated. In addition, cybersecurity and operational risks may be heightened as a result of work-from-home arrangements.

Our business is dependent on the willingness and ability of our customers to conduct financial transactions. The continued spread of COVID-19, or another highly infectious or contagious disease, have caused and may continue to cause severe disruptions in ~~Part I, Item 1A~~such activities, as well as other aspects of conducting our business. These effects include restrictions on our employees’ ability to travel, as well as temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our customers, suppliers, or other vendors. We often recruit skilled professionals and new clients by visiting their offices or having them visit our offices. Consequently, travel restrictions or other disruptions that prevent us from meeting with professional prospects or potential new clients have adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact our ability to recruit such professional prospects or engage potential new clients.

While the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted our results of operations in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to continue to do so, the extent to which it, and the related global economic crisis, affect our businesses, results of operations and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and any recovery period, future actions taken by governmental authorities, central banks and other third parties in response to the pandemic, and the effects on our customers, counterparties, employees and third-party service providers. Moreover, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will heighten the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K ~~for~~and any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K. Even after the pandemic subsides, it is possible that the U.S. and other major economies will continue to experience a prolonged recession, which we expect would materially and adversely affect our businesses, results of operations and financial condition.

We have grown our asset management business in recent years, which has increased the risks associated with this business relative to our overall operations. The asset management fees we are paid are dependent upon the value of client assets in fee-based accounts in our Private Client Group segment, as well as AUM in our asset management business. Therefore, in periods of declining market

values, the values of fee-based accounts and AUM could resultantly decline, which would negatively impact our revenues. In addition, below-market investment performance by our funds, portfolio managers, or financial advisors could result in reputational damage that might cause outflows or make it more difficult to attract new investors into our asset management products and thus further impact our business and financial condition.

Continued market volatility could also cause clients to move their investments to lower margin products, or withdraw them, which could have an adverse impact on our profitability. We could also experience a material reduction in trading volume and lower securities prices in times of market volatility, which would result in lower brokerage revenues, including losses on trading inventory. The fair values of certain of our investments have been and may continue to be negatively impacted, resulting in unrealized or realized losses on such investments.

We effect certain client securities transactions on either a cash or margin basis. We are subject to the risk of a further market decline, which could reduce the value of our collateral below the amount of the customers’ indebtedness. In addition, we offer securities-based lending through Stifel Bancorp. These security-based loans are also subject to the degree of concentrated or restricted positions, or, in the case of concentrated positions, appropriate liquidity of the underlying collateral or potential hedging strategies, which risks are heightened in an environment characterized by declining economic or market conditions as a result of COVID-19.

We are generally exposed to the risk that third parties that owe us money, securities, or other assets will fail to meet their obligations to us due to numerous causes, including bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, or operational failure, among others. We actively buy securities from and sell securities to clients and counterparties in the normal course of our broker-dealers’ market-making and underwriting businesses, which exposes us to credit risk. Our credit risk and credit losses may increase to the extent our loans or investments are to borrowers or issuers who as a group may be uniquely or disproportionately affected by declining economic or market conditions as a result of COVID-19 such as those operating in the hotel, leisure, entertainment and restaurant sector. The deterioration of an individually large exposure due to COVID-19 could lead to additional loan loss provisions and/or charges-offs, or credit impairment of our investments, and subsequently have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, regulatory capital, and liquidity.

Decreases in short-term interest rates, such as those announced by the Federal Reserve late in our 2019 fiscal year ~~ended December 31, 2018 filed with~~and during the ~~SEC.~~first fiscal quarter of 2020, have had a negative impact on our results, in particular on our net interest income, the difference between the interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on funding sources. The Federal Reserve significantly further lowered interest rates in response to COVID-19 pandemic concerns. These ~~risk factors describe various risks~~market interest rate declines will negatively affect our results of operations.

Abrupt changes in market and ~~uncertainties to which we are or~~general economic conditions have in the past adversely affected, and may ~~become subject. These risks and uncertainties have~~in the ~~potential to~~future adversely affect, our business ~~financial condition,~~and profitability and cause volatility in our results of operations.

Economic and market conditions have had, and will continue to have, a direct and material impact on our results of operations ~~cash flows, strategies~~and financial condition because performance in the financial services industry is heavily influenced by the overall strength of general economic conditions and financial market activity.

Our investment banking revenue, in the form of advisory services and underwriting, is directly related to general economic conditions and corresponding financial market activity. When the outlook for such economic conditions is uncertain or ~~prospects~~negative, financial market activity generally tends to decrease, which reduces our investment banking revenues. Reduced expectations of United States economic growth or a decline in the global economic outlook could cause financial market activity to decrease and negatively affect our investment banking revenues.

In addition to the business risks set forth in the previous risk factors, global economic conditions and global financial markets remain vulnerable to the potential risks posed by certain events, including, among other things, challenges to global trade or travel due to the continued spread of COVID-19 and any widening of the effect of the pandemic associated therewith, political and financial uncertainty in the United States and the European Union, renewed concern about the U.S. and other major economies, the reduction in business activity leading to a ~~material~~decrease in global demand for oil and ~~adverse manner.~~natural gas and the resulting historically low prices for these commodities and complications involving terrorism and armed conflicts around the world. In particular, as it relates to COVID-19 and the associated pandemic, the extent of such effects will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the geographic spread of the virus, the overall severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, the measures that may be taken by various governmental authorities in response to the outbreak (such as quarantines and travel restrictions) and the possible further impacts on the global economy. More generally, because our business is closely correlated to the general economic outlook, a significant deterioration in that outlook or realization of certain events would likely have an immediate and significant negative impact on our business and overall results of operations.
