**STIFEL FINANCIAL CORP.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**(Unaudited)**

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

***Nature of Operations***

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. Our major geographic area of concentration is throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada. Our company's principal customers are individual investors, corporations, municipalities, and institutions. We have organized our operations into three reportable segments: Global Wealth Management, Institutional Group, and Other. See Note 22 for additional information on segment reporting.

***Basis of Presentation***

The consolidated financial statements include Stifel Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, principally Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated ("Stifel"), Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. ("KBW"), 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, 2025 on file with the SEC.

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.

On January 26, 2026, our Board approved a 50% stock dividend, in the form of a three-for-two stock split, of our common stock payable on February 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 12, 2026. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.

On February 2, 2026, the Company sold Stifel Independent Advisors, LLC ("SIA"), a wholly owned subsidiary and independent contractor broker-dealer, for cash consideration to an affiliate of Equitable, a financial services organization and principal franchise of Equitable Holdings, Inc. We recognized a gain on the sale of $49.8 million that is included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of SIA have been included in our results up to the date of disposition.

***Consolidation Policies***

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.

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, 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. When we do not have a controlling interest in an entity, but we exert significant influence over the entity, we apply the equity method of accounting.

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.

------

**NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

See Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a full description of the Company's significant accounting policies.

***Loans and Advances to Financial Advisors and Other Employees, Net***

We offer transition pay, principally in the form of upfront loans, to financial advisors and certain key revenue producers as part of our company's overall growth strategy. These loans are generally forgiven by a charge to compensation and benefits over a five- to ten-year period if the individual satisfies certain conditions, usually based on continued employment and certain performance standards. We present the outstanding balance of loans to financial advisors on our consolidated statements of financial condition, net of the allowance for credit losses. Our allowance for credit losses was approximately $31.1 million and $32.3 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

**NOTE 4 – Fair Value Measurements**

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.

*Financial Instruments Owned and Available-For-Sale Securities*

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, primarily U.S. government securities and corporate fixed income and equity securities listed in active markets.

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, agency mortgage-backed

------

securities, asset-backed securities, fixed income and equity securities infrequently traded, state and municipal securities, and non-agency mortgage-backed securities and sovereign debt securities, included in other in the table below.

We have identified Level 3 financial instruments to include certain asset-backed securities and syndicated loans, included in other in the table below, 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*

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. Corporate equity securities that have little to no pricing observability are reported in Level 3.

ARS are primarily valued based upon our expectations of issuer redemptions and using internal discounted cash flow models that utilize unobservable inputs. ARS are reported as Level 3 assets. Private company investments are primarily valued based upon internally developed models. These valuations require significant management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity, and their long-term nature. Typically, the initial costs of these investments are considered to represent fair market value, as such amounts are negotiated between willing market participants. Private company investments are primarily reported as Level 3 assets.

Investments at fair value include investments in funds, including certain money market funds that are measured at net asset value ("NAV"). The Company uses NAV to measure the fair value of its fund investments when (i) the fund investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and (ii) the NAV of the investment fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of investment company accounting, including measurement of the underlying investments at fair value.

The Company's investments in funds measured at NAV include partnership interests, money market funds, mutual funds, and private equity 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.

The table below presents the fair value of our investments in, and unfunded commitments to, funds that are measured at NAV as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 *(in thousands)*:

|  | **March 31, 2026** | **March 31, 2026** | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2025 |
|  | **Fair value of investments** | **Unfunded commitments** | **Fair value of investments** | **Unfunded commitments** |
| Partnership interests | $32197 | $16223 | $31819 | $16508 |
| Money market funds | 2450 |  | 2340 |  |
| Mutual funds | 647 |  | 668 |  |
| Private equity funds | 291 |  | 290 |  |
| **Total fair value of funds measured at NAV** | $**35585** | $**16223** | $35117 | $16508 |

*Financial Instruments Sold, But Not Yet Purchased*

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 and corporate equity 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 agency mortgage-backed securities not actively traded, fixed income securities, and equity securities infrequently traded.

We have identified Level 3 financial instruments to include syndicated loans, included in other in the table below. 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.

*Derivatives*

Derivatives are valued using quoted market prices for identical instruments when available or observable inputs from forward and futures yield curves. The valuation models used require market observable inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, and measures of volatility. We have classified our derivatives as Level 2. The counterparties to most of our company's derivative transactions represent regulated banks, bank holding companies, and derivative clearing houses. Management has determined that the counterparty credit risk associated with its derivative transactions is not significant. Accordingly, the recorded fair values for these transactions have not been adjusted to reflect counterparty credit risk.

The results included in the table above are only a component of the overall investment strategies of our company. The table above does not present Level 1 or Level 2 valued assets or liabilities. The changes in unrealized gains/(losses) recorded in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026, relating to Level 3 assets still held at March 31, 2026, 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, as supplemented by the discussion above, describes the valuation techniques used in estimating the fair value of our financial instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

**Financial Assets**

*Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell*

Securities purchased under agreements to resell are collateralized financing transactions that are recorded at their contractual amounts plus accrued interest. The carrying values at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

*Held-to-Maturity Securities*

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 asset-backed securities, consisting of collateralized loan obligation securities and student loan ARS. 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.

*Bank Loans*

The fair values of mortgage loans and commercial loans were primarily 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. The estimated fair value of individually evaluated loans may include peer multiples, discounted cash flow, and collateral liquidation each of which includes unobservable inputs and judgments within.

------

*Loans Held for Sale*

Loans held for sale consist of the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential real estate mortgage loans, as well as commercial loans intended for sale. Loans held for sale are stated at lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is determined based on prevailing market prices for loans with similar characteristics or on sale contract prices.

**Financial Liabilities**

*Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase*

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are collateralized financing transactions that are recorded at their contractual amounts plus accrued interest. The carrying values at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 approximate fair value due to the short-term nature.

*Bank Deposits*

The fair value of demand deposits is equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of money market and savings accounts approximate their fair values, as substantially all of these deposits are variable-rate and short-term in nature. The fair values of fixed-rate certificates of deposit are calculated by discounting the future cash flows using discount rates based on the replacement cost of funding of similar structures and terms.

*Senior Notes*

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

*Debentures to Stifel Financial Capital Trusts*

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.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, financial instruments owned in the amount of $738.4 million and $523.4 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral for our repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings. Our financial instruments owned are presented on a trade-date basis in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Financial instruments sold, but not yet purchased, represent obligations of our company to deliver the specified security at the contracted price, thereby creating a liability to purchase the security in the market at prevailing prices in future periods. We are obligated to acquire the securities sold short at prevailing market prices in future periods, which may exceed the amount reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

<sup>(1)</sup> Unrealized gains/(losses) related to available-for-sale securities are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.

<sup>(2)</sup> Held-to-maturity securities are carried in the consolidated statements of financial condition at amortized cost, and the changes in the value of these securities, other than impairment charges, are not reported on the consolidated financial statements.

We are required to evaluate our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities for any expected losses with recognition of an allowance for credit losses, when applicable. At March 31, 2026, we did not have an allowance for credit losses recorded on our investment portfolio.

Accrued interest receivable for our investment portfolio at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $83.8 million and $84.1 million, respectively, 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.

There were no sales of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The table below summarizes the amortized cost and fair values of our securities by contractual maturity at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 *(in thousands)*. Expected maturities may differ significantly from contractual maturities, as issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

**NOTE 7 – Bank Loans**

Our loan portfolio consists primarily of the following segments:

**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.

**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 credit losses on corporate loans include the borrower's financial strength, seniority of the loan, collateral type, leverage, volatility of collateral value, debt cushion, and covenants.

**Fund banking.** Fund banking loans primarily include capital call lines of credit, also known as subscription lines of credit. These credit facilities are used by closed-end private investment funds ("Fund") that have raised capital commitments from limited partners to effectively manage the Fund's cash and bridge timing between the Fund's investments and capital calls. The lines of credit are collateralized by a pledge of the limited partner's contractually callable capital and the general partner's right to call such capital as permitted in the Fund's partnership agreement.

**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 commercial real estate projects.

**Other.** Other loans include consumer and credit card lending.

In the normal course of business, we may modify the original terms of a loan agreement. In certain circumstances, we may agree to modify the original terms of a loan agreement to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, which may include a borrower in default, financial distress, bankruptcy, or other circumstances. Modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are designed to reduce our loss exposure while providing borrowers with an opportunity to work through financial difficulties, often to avoid foreclosure or bankruptcy. Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty typically involve principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay (i.e., payment or maturity forbearance greater than six months), or a term extension, or any combination thereof. Modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are subject to our nonaccrual policies. Loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty which were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were not material.

The gross interest income related to individually evaluated 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 months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

*Credit quality indicators*

As of March 31, 2026, 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 ("nonaccrual 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 97.0% and 97.1% 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.

Loans rated substandard or below are individually evaluated for loss. Loss amounts are calculated 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. If management determines that the loss amount is uncollectible, the amount is charged off. If the loss amount is determined to be collectible, then the amount is reserved as a specific valuation allowance. The determination of whether the loss is collectible or uncollectible is based on current financial information from the borrower, as well as any facts and information of which the Company may have knowledge.

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

**NOTE 9 – Borrowings and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances**

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 securities pledged as collateral. We also have an unsecured, committed bank line available.

Our uncommitted secured lines of credit at March 31, 2026, totaled $780.0 million with three 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. There were no borrowings on our uncommitted secured lines during the three months ended March 31, 2026. 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 March 31, 2026, we had no outstanding balances on our uncommitted secured lines of credit.

We entered into an uncommitted, unsecured $100.0 million line of credit with UMB Bank during the first quarter of 2026. Our peak daily borrowing was $35.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, we had an outstanding balance of $35.0 million, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition.

The Federal Home Loan advances are floating-rate advances. 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. At March 31, 2026, there were no Federal Home Loan advances.

On February 4, 2026, the Company and Stifel (the "Borrowers") entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") with respect to its existing unsecured Credit Agreement, dated September 27, 2023, (the "Credit Agreement"), among the Company and Stifel and a syndicate of lenders led by Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. Concurrently with, and conditional upon, the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, all the commitments under the Borrowers existing Credit Agreement were terminated.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has a maturity date of February 4, 2031, and provides for a committed unsecured revolving borrowing facility for maximum aggregate borrowings of up to $1.0 billion depending on the outstanding borrowings of the Borrowers from time to time during the duration of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The interest rates on borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are variable and are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.

The Borrowers can draw upon this facility as long as certain restrictive covenants are maintained. Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Borrowers 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 is required to maintain compliance with a minimum regulatory excess net capital percentage covenant, as defined, and the Parent's bank subsidiaries are required to maintain their status as well-capitalized, as defined, and our bank subsidiaries are required to maintain their status as well-capitalized, as defined.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Company's obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the lending commitments thereunder terminated. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 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, change of control, and judgment defaults. At March 31, 2026, we had no advances on the Credit Facility and were in compliance with all covenants and currently do not expect any covenant violations.

**NOTE 12 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities**

We manage the interest rate risk associated with our derivative transactions with customers by entering into offsetting positions with other derivative dealers, resulting in a substantially "matched book" portfolio. These interest rate contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Credit risk associated with its derivative transactions is managed through a variety of measures, including initial and ongoing periodic underwriting of its counterparties' creditworthiness, establishment of customer credit limits, and collateral maintenance requirements for customer exposures that exceed certain preset thresholds.

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.

<sup>(4)</sup> Securities lending transactions are included in payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

<sup>(5)</sup> Collateral pledged includes the fair value of securities pledged to the counterparty. These securities are included on the consolidated statements of financial condition unless we default. Collateral pledged by our company to the counterparty includes U.S. government agency securities, U.S. government securities, and corporate fixed income securities with market values of $901.1 million and $687.2 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

<sup>(6)</sup> Collateral pledged includes the fair value of securities pledged to the counterparty. There were no securities pledged as collateral at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

**NOTE 14 – Commitments, Guarantees, and Contingencies**

*Broker-Dealer Commitments and Guarantees*

In the normal course of business, we enter into underwriting commitments. Settlement of transactions relating to such underwriting commitments, which were open at March 31, 2026, 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 securities 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, 2026, the fair value of the TBA securities and the estimated fair value of the purchase commitments were $154.5 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.

*Other Commitments*

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.

------

*Concentration of Credit Risk*

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 March 31, 2026, we did not have significant concentrations of credit risk with any one customer or counterparty, or any group of customers or counterparties.

**NOTE 15 – Legal Proceedings**

The 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. The 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. The Company is contesting allegations in these claims, and it believes that there are meritorious defenses in each of these lawsuits, arbitrations, and regulatory investigations. In view of the number and diversity of claims against the Company, the number of jurisdictions in which litigation is pending, and the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and other claims, the Company generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of the pending matters, timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters, or eventual loss, fines, or penalties related to each pending matter. Matters frequently need to be more developed before a loss or range of loss can reasonably be estimated.

As a matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with outside counsel, evaluates whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable, and, for the matters disclosed below, whether a loss in excess of any accrued liability is reasonably possible in future periods. Once the loss contingency is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability. The Company continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has estimated the upper end of the range of reasonably possible aggregate loss for such matters and for any other matters described below where management has been able to estimate a range of possible aggregate loss to be approximately $100.0 million in excess of the aggregate reserves for such matters.

The accrued liability and estimated range of possible loss are based upon currently available information and subject to significant judgment, a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the accrued liability and estimated range of possible loss are unpredictable and may change from time to time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimate and accrual. The estimated range of possible loss does not represent the Company's maximum loss exposure.

Based on currently available information, review with outside legal counsel, and consideration of accrued liabilities, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters, including matters described below, will have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company. 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 liability has not been established and for which the Company believes a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where an accrual has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, based on currently available information, the Company believes that such losses will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

*FINRA Arbitration Matters*

On March 12, 2025, a three-person FINRA arbitration panel entered an award in a customer arbitration against the Company's brokerage subsidiary, Stifel, in the amount of $132.5 million, consisting of $26.5 million in compensatory damages, $79.5 million in punitive damages, and $26.5 million in attorneys' fees and costs. The arbitration involved claims by four family members arising out of their investments, principally in structured notes, through a now former Stifel private wealth advisor. The Company believes the award is legally defective and excessive in amount and has filed a petition seeking to have the award vacated. The petition was assigned to a magistrate judge for an initial report and recommendation. On February 6, 2026, the magistrate judge issued his report and recommended denying the petition. The Company intends to object to the report and recommend and seek further review, if necessary, although the Company can provide no assurance that its efforts will be successful. Based upon the terms of the magistrate's report and recommendation, prejudgment interest has increased the amount of the award to approximately $146.2 million as of the present time.

This is the third adverse arbitration award against Stifel by former customers of the same former private wealth advisor relating to substantially similar investment activities. The firm has resolved some additional arbitration claims making similar allegations that were filed by other customers of the same advisor, but nineteen additional such claims have been filed that are yet to be resolved or adjudicated. The Company's estimate of losses that may be sought by the customers whose claims have been filed but not yet resolved or adjudicated do not take into consideration claims for enhanced damages or attorneys' fees. While we continue to believe that Stifel has viable defenses to at least limit its liability in these additional cases, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to settle these claims or will be successful in defending them on the merits, or that these claims will not result in material liability to the Company.

------

*Cash Sweeps Litigation*

Beginning in March 2025, the Company and certain of its affiliates were named as defendants in multiple putative class actions pending in the federal district court for the Eastern District of Missouri. The class action claims have been brought on behalf of customers who had cash deposits or balances in the Stifel Insured Bank Deposit Program or the Stifel Insured Bank Deposit Program for Retirement Accounts, alleging various contractual, fiduciary, and statutory claims based on the allegation that the Company failed to pay a reasonable rate of interest on its cash sweep products. Together, the complaints seek unspecified compensatory damages, equitable relief, and treble damages. The Court has now selected lead plaintiffs' counsel and a Consolidated Class Action Compliant will be filed shortly. The Company will then file its responsive pleading. While there can be no assurance that we will be successful, we intend to vigorously defend the claims.

*401(k) Plan Litigation*

On July 4, 2025 (Dell Complaint) and February 20, 2026 (Striplin Complaint), the Company, the Board, and its investment committee and respective members (together, the "Company Defendants") were sued in two separate putative class actions related to the administration of the Company's 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") pending in federal district court for the Eastern District of Missouri. The complaints are brought on behalf of the Plan and current and former employees that are members of the Plan alleging fiduciary violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).

The Dell Complaint alleges the Company Defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing the Plan to pay excessive recordkeeping and administrative service fees and by failing to prudently monitor and remove one of the Plan's investment options. The Striplin Complaint alleges the Company Defendants breached their fiduciary duties by failing to prudently monitor and remove two of the Plan's investment options. The Striplin Complaint was filed on February 20, 2026 and the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss on April 27, 2026. The Company Defendants' investigation of these allegations is in process.

Prior to the filing of the Dell Complaint, the Company identified a change in the market pricing of certain record keeping and administrative fees and a potential underperformance with certain Plan investments. The Company calculated restorative payments, funded the Plan on March 31, 2025, notified the Department of Labor through its Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program, and on August 4, 2025, received a no-action letter from the Department of Labor. The Company Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Dell Complaint.

Together, the Dell and Striplin Complaints seek unspecified compensatory damages, equitable relief, and plan reformation. The cases are at an early stage, and while there can be no assurance that we will be successful, the Company Defendants intend to vigorously defend these cases.

**NOTE 16 – Regulatory Capital Requirements**

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 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 times their net capital (as defined).

At March 31, 2026, Stifel had net capital of $643.2 million, which was 38.2% of aggregate debit items and $609.6 million in excess of its minimum required net capital. At December 31, 2025, Stifel had net capital of $559.5 million, which was 37.7% of aggregate debit items and $529.8 million in excess of its minimum required net capital. At March 31, 2026, all of our other broker-dealer subsidiaries' net capital exceeded the minimum net capital required under the SEC rule.

Our international subsidiary, SNEL, is subject to the regulatory supervision and requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") in the United Kingdom. At March 31, 2026, 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 Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization ("CIRO"). At March 31, 2026, SNC's net capital and reserves were in excess of the financial resources requirement under the rules of the CIRO.

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, "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 banking subsidiaries' financial results. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, our company and its 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 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 banking subsidiaries.

Our company and its 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 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 banking subsidiaries are each categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized," our company and its 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 March 31, 2026 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 revenues 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 revenues 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 is 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.** Asset management revenues are recorded when earned, based on the period-end assets in the accounts, and consist of customer account service fees, per account fees (such as IRA fees) and wrap fees, net of external manager costs on managed accounts. 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 March 31, 2026. Investment banking advisory revenues 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 March 31, 2026.

*Contract Balances*

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 $175.8 million and $176.3 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, in other assets in the consolidated statements of financial condition. We had no significant impairments related to these receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Our deferred revenue primarily relates to retainer fees received in investment banking advisory engagements where the performance obligation has not yet been satisfied. Deferred revenue at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $21.6 million and $27.0 million, respectively, and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

**NOTE 20 – Employee Incentive, Deferred Compensation, and Retirement Plans**

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 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. We provide compensation to existing employees in the form of cash awards which are subject to ratable vesting terms with service requirements. We amortize these awards to compensation expense over the relevant service period of five years.

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 were authorized to grant an additional 3.1 million shares at March 31, 2026.

Expense associated with our stock-based compensation, included in compensation and benefits expense in the consolidated statements of operations for our company's incentive stock award plan was $41.9 million and $35.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Expense associated with our debentures, included in compensation and benefits expense in the consolidated statements of operations was $31.2 million and $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Expense associated with cash awards, included in compensation and benefits expense in the consolidated statements of operations was $3.8 million and $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

*Deferred Awards*

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 associate 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 year.

The 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. 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 awards to vest. 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 March 31, 2026, the total number of restricted stock units, PRSUs, and restricted stock awards outstanding was 16.1 million, of which 14.8 million were unvested.

At March 31, 2026, there was unrecognized compensation cost for deferred awards of approximately $967.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

*Deferred Compensation Plans*

The Plan is provided to certain revenue producers, officers, and key administrative 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 financial advisors who achieve certain levels of production the ability to earn deferred awards. These financial advisors can earn 5-6% of their gross commissions that is contributed to their mandatory deferral. 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.

In addition, certain revenue producers, upon joining the 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.

*Profit Sharing Plan*

Eligible U.S. associates of the Company who have met certain service requirements may participate in the Stifel Financial Corp. Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). Associates are permitted within limitations imposed by tax law to make pre-tax contributions to the 401(k) Plan. We may match certain associate contributions or make additional contributions to the 401(k) Plan at our discretion. Our contributions to the 401(k) Plan, included in compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations, were $4.0 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**NOTE 21 – Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk**

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 one business day 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of securities accepted as collateral where we are permitted to sell or repledge the securities was $2.6 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, and the fair value of the collateral that had been sold or repledged was $863.0 million and $651.2 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Stifel Bancorp had outstanding commitments to originate loans aggregating $419.2 million and $267.6 million, respectively. The commitments extended over varying periods of time, with all commitments at March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Stifel Bancorp had outstanding letters of credit totaling $89.9 million and $91.9 million, respectively. A majority of the standby letters of credit commitments at March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Stifel Bancorp had granted unused lines of credit to commercial and consumer borrowers aggregating $5.8 billion and $5.4 billion, respectively.

We are required to evaluate our loan portfolio for any expected losses with recognition of an allowance for credit losses, when applicable. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the expected credit losses for unfunded lending commitments was $27.5 million and $28.7 million, respectively.

**NOTE 22 – Segment Reporting**

We currently operate through the following three business segments: Global Wealth Management, Institutional Group, and various corporate activities combined in the Other segment. Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM regularly reviews segment net revenues, compensation and benefits expense, non-compensation operating expenses, and income before income taxes. Amounts included in non-compensation operating expenses include "Occupancy and equipment rental," "Communications and office supplies," "Commissions and floor brokerage," "Provision for credit losses," and "Other operating expenses."

*Global Wealth Management* 

The Global Wealth Management segment consists of two businesses, the Private Client Group and Stifel Bancorp. The Private Client Group includes branch offices and, from the period January 1, 2026 through February 2, 2026, 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 private client group and to the general public.

The success of our Global Wealth Management segment is dependent upon the quality of our products, services, financial advisors, and support personnel, including our ability to attract, retain, and motivate a sufficient number of these associates. We face competition for qualified associates from major financial services companies, including other brokerage firms, insurance companies, banking institutions, and discount brokerage firms. Segment revenue growth and operating income are used to evaluate and measure segment performance by our CODM in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

*Institutional Group*

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 success of our Institutional Group segment is dependent upon the quality of our personnel, the quality and selection of our investment products and services, pricing (such as execution pricing and fee levels), and reputation. Segment revenue growth and operating income are used to evaluate and measure segment performance by our CODM in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

*Other*

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.

**NOTE 23 – Earnings Per Share ("EPS")**

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 months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 *(in thousands, except per share data)*:

---

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic | $**1.56** | $0.28 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted | $**1.48** | $0.26 |

---

------

<sup>(1)</sup> Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share include units.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the anti-dilutive effect from restricted stock units was immaterial.

------

*Cash Dividends*

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we declared and paid cash dividends of $0.34 per common share. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we declared and paid cash dividends of $0.31 per common share.

**NOTE 24 – Shareholders' Equity**

*Share Repurchase Program*

We have an ongoing authorization from the Board of Directors to repurchase our common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions. At March 31, 2026, the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under this plan was 10.2 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 company's employee benefit plans and for general corporate purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased $96.4 million or 1.2 million shares using existing Board authorizations at an average price of $77.13 per share to meet obligations under our company's employee benefit plans and for general corporate purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased $93.2 million or 1.4 million shares using existing Board authorizations at an average price of $67.15 per share to meet obligations under our company's employee benefit plans and for general corporate purposes.

*Preferred Stock*

The Company has 3,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock with a par value of $1.00, redeemable at the Company's option subject to certain terms. This stock may be issued in series, and the shares of each series will have such rights and preferences as are fixed by the Board of Directors when authorizing the issuance of that particular series.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has three outstanding series of non-convertible, non-cumulative preferred stock: 6.25% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series B; 6.125% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series C; and 4.50% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series D. The liquidation value per share is $25. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we declared and paid cash dividends of $9.3 million, respectively.

*Treasury Stock*

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately 13.7 million and 15.0 million shares held as treasury stock, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we issued 1.8 million shares of common stock from treasury, primarily a result of vesting and exercise transactions under our incentive stock award plans.

**NOTE 25 – Variable Interest Entities**

Our variable interests in VIEs include debt and equity interests, commitments, certain fees, the establishment of Stifel Financial Capital Trusts, and our issuance of a convertible promissory note.

Our involvement with VIEs arises primarily from the following activities: purchases of securities in connection with our trading and secondary market-making activities; retained interests held as a result of securitization activities; and loans to, investments in, and fees from various investment vehicles.

*Securitization Interests*

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company purchased the E-Certificates of Turbine Engines Securitization Ltd. ("Turbine"). The purchase of these Turbine E-Certificates represents 100% of the equity of Turbine. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company purchased additional membership interests in Stifel Aviation Finance II, LLC ("SAF II"). The purchase of the additional membership interests gave the Company a controlling financial interest in SAF II. The Company has determined the interest it holds in these VIEs require consolidation in its financial statements, as it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as of the respective consolidation dates. At March 31, 2026, the assets primarily consist of aircraft engines that are under operating leases, included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. See Note 17 for additional information. The liabilities primarily consist of debt, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.

The following tables present the aggregate assets and liabilities from those VIEs in which we hold a variable interest and have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary *(in thousands)*:

------

*Debt and Equity Investments*

The Company's investment in and additional capital commitments to these investment vehicles are considered variable interests. The Company's additional capital commitments are subject to call and are limited to the amount committed. These investment vehicles have net assets, primarily consisting of investments, aircraft engine-related assets, and debt. We have concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, and therefore, we do not consolidate these entities. Our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the total of our carrying value.

*Partnership Interests*

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 investment vehicles have assets primarily consisting of private and public equity investments. 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. We have concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, and therefore, we do not consolidate these entities.

The following tables present the aggregate assets, liabilities, and the maximum exposure to loss from those VIEs in which we hold a variable interest, but as to which we have concluded we are not the primary beneficiary *(in thousands)*:

*Debenture to Stifel Financial Capital Trusts*

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.

***Executive Summary***

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 U.S., Europe, and Canada. 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.

Our core philosophy is based upon a tradition of trust, understanding, and studied advice. 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 associate focus have earned us a reputation as one of the nation's leading wealth management and investment banking firms. 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 consolidation, whereby allowing us to increase market share in our private client and institutional group businesses.

Stifel Financial Corp., 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. Our major geographic area of concentration is throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada. Our principal customers are individual investors, corporations, municipalities, and institutions.

Our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and productive 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 associates who are motivated and committed to providing the highest quality of service and guidance to our clients.

On January 26, 2026, our Board declared a 50% stock dividend, in the form of a three-for-two stock split, of our common stock payable on February 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 12, 2026. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.

------

On February 2, 2026, the Company sold Stifel Independent Advisors, LLC ("SIA"), a wholly owned subsidiary and independent contractor broker-dealer, to an affiliate of Equitable, a financial services organization and principal franchise of Equitable Holdings, Inc. We recognized a gain on the sale of $49.8 million that is included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of SIA have been included in our results up to the date of disposition.

***Results for the three months ended March 31, 2026***

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net revenues increased 17.7% to $1.5 billion from $1.3 billion during the comparable period in 2025. Net income available to common shareholders increased 454.4% to $242.1 million, or $1.48 per diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $43.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share during the comparable period in 2025. Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was negatively impacted by elevated provisions for legal matters.

Our revenue growth was primarily attributable to higher investment banking revenues, asset management revenues, transactional revenues, net interest income, and the recognition of a gain on the sale of SIA during the quarter.

***Economic and Market Conditions***

Results in the businesses in which we operate are highly correlated to general economic conditions and, more specifically, to the direction of the U.S. equity and fixed income markets. Market volatility, overall market conditions, interest rates, economic, political, and regulatory trends, and industry competition are among the factors which could affect us and which are unpredictable and beyond our control. These factors affect the financial decisions made by market participants who include investors and competitors, impacting their level of participation in the financial markets. In addition, in periods of reduced financial market activity, profitability is likely to be adversely affected because certain expenses remain relatively fixed, including salaries and related costs, as well as portions of communications costs and occupancy expenses. Accordingly, earnings for any period should not be considered representative of earnings to be expected for any other period.

For more information on economic and market conditions, and the potential effects of geopolitical events on our future results, refer to "Risk Factors" in the 2025 Form 10-K.

---

***Commissions*** – Commission revenues are primarily generated from agency transactions in OTC and listed equity securities, insurance products, and options. In addition, commission revenues also include distribution fees for promoting and distributing mutual funds.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, commission revenues increased 7.3% to $207.8 million from $193.7 million in the comparable period in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to higher volumes due to increased market volatility.

------

***Principal transactions*** – Principal transaction revenues are gains and losses on secondary trading, principally fixed income transactional revenues.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, principal transactions revenues increased 6.0% to $150.2 million from $141.7 million in the comparable period in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to increased client activity.

***Investment banking*** – Investment banking revenues include: (i) capital-raising revenues representing fees earned from the underwriting of debt and equity securities, and (ii) advisory fees related to corporate debt and equity offerings, municipal debt offerings, merger and acquisitions, private placements, and other investment banking advisory fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, investment banking revenues increased 43.5% to $341.4 million from $237.9 million in the comparable period in 2025.

Capital-raising revenues increased 22.4% to $123.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $100.5 million in the comparable period in 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, equity capital-raising revenues increased 35.9% to $70.2 million from $51.7 million in the comparable period in 2025 driven by higher volumes. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, fixed income capital-raising revenues increased 8.1% to $52.8 million from $48.8 million in the comparable period in 2025 driven by higher bond issuances during the first quarter of 2026.

Advisory revenues increased 58.9% to $218.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $137.5 million in the comparable period in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to higher completed advisory transactions.

***Asset management*** – Asset management 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 three months ended March 31, 2026, asset management revenues increased 12.2% to a record $459.5 million from $409.5 million in the comparable period in 2025. Please refer to "Asset management" in the Global Wealth Management segment discussion for information on the changes in asset management revenues.

***Other income*** – Other income primarily includes investment gains and losses, rental income, and loan originations fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, other income increased 426.2% to $55.7 million from $10.6 million during the comparable period in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to the recognition of a gain on the sale of SIA and higher loan origination fees during the quarter.

---

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.

***Net interest income*** – Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on funding sources. Net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities, as well as by fluctuations in interest rates and portfolio management strategies. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net interest income increased 0.6% to $263.6 million from $262.1 million during the comparable period in 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, interest revenue decreased 5.2% to $451.0 million from $475.6 million in the comparable period in 2025, principally as a result of a decrease in interest rates, partially offset by higher interest-earning assets. The average interest-earning assets of Stifel Bancorp increased to $31.8 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $31.3 billion during the comparable period in 2025 at average interest rates of 5.14% and 5.58%, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, interest expense decreased 12.2% to $187.5 million from $213.6 million during the comparable period in 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower interest rates, partially offset by higher interest-bearing liabilities. The average interest-bearing liabilities of Stifel Bancorp increased to $29.3 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $28.7 billion during the comparable period in 2025 at average interest rates of 2.09% and 2.71%, respectively.

| **Total non-interest expenses** | $**1152089** | $1192105 | (3.4) |

---

***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 associate-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 three months ended March 31, 2026, compensation and benefits expense increased 15.9% to $848.3 million from $732.2 million during the comparable period in 2025. The increase in compensation and benefits expenses is primarily attributable to higher variable compensation costs.

Compensation and benefits expense as a percentage of net revenues was 57.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 58.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to to revenue growth,

partially offset by higher revenue-related compensation over the comparable period in 2025.

***Occupancy and equipment rental*** – For the three months ended March 31, 2026, occupancy and equipment rental expense increased 9.8% to $99.7 million from $90.8 million during the comparable period in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to higher data processing expense and occupancy costs associated with an increase in business activity.

***Communications and office supplies*** – Communications expense includes costs for telecommunication and data transmission, primarily for obtaining third-party market data information. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, communications and office supplies expense increased 3.0% to $51.0 million from $49.5 million during the comparable period in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to higher communication and quote expenses associated with the continued growth of our business.

***Commissions and floor brokerage*** – For the three months ended March 31, 2026, commissions and floor brokerage expense decreased 10.5% to $15.0 million from $16.8 million during the comparable period in 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower clearing expenses and processing expenses.

***Provision for credit losses –*** For the three months ended March 31, 2026, provision for credit losses decreased 45.6% to $6.5 million from $12.0 million during the comparable period in 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to modest improvement in

macroeconomic conditions, partially offset by loan growth in the retained portfolio and specific reserves on individual

credits.

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, other operating expenses decreased 54.8% to $131.5 million from $290.8 million during the comparable period in 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in legal-related expenses and dues and assessments during the quarter, partially offset by higher amortization of identifiable intangible assets, professional fees, bank service charges, advertising, travel and conference-related expenses, and subscriptions. During the first quarter of 2025, we recorded $180.0 million related to provisions for legal-related matters.

***Provision for income taxes*** – For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our provision for income taxes was $74.7 million, representing an effective tax rate of 22.9%, compared to $10.4 million for the comparable period in 2025, representing an effective tax rate of 16.4%. The tax rate was primarily impacted by the excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation.

**SEGMENT ANALYSIS**

Our reportable segments include Global Wealth Management, Institutional Group, and Other.

Our Global Wealth Management segment consists of two businesses, the Private Client Group and Stifel Bancorp. The Private Client Group includes branch offices and, from the period January 1, 2026 through February 2, 2026, 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 private 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 and to the general public.

The success of our Global Wealth Management segment is dependent upon the quality of our products, services, financial advisors, and support personnel, including our ability to attract, retain, and motivate a sufficient number of these associates. We face competition for qualified associates from major financial services companies, including other brokerage firms, insurance companies, banking institutions, and discount brokerage firms. Segment net revenues and operating income are used to evaluate and measure segment performance by management in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

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 success of our Institutional Group segment is dependent upon the quality of our personnel, the quality and selection of our investment products and services, pricing (such as execution pricing and fee levels), and reputation. Segment net revenues and operating income are used to evaluate and measure segment performance by management in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

The Other segment includes interest income and expense 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.

We evaluate the performance of our segments and allocate resources to them based on various factors, including prospects for growth, return on investment, and return on revenues.

***Commissions*** – For the three months ended March 31, 2026, commission revenues increased 11.3% to $140.1 million from $125.8 million in the comparable period in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to higher volumes over the comparable period in 2025.

***Principal transactions*** – For the three months ended March 31, 2026, principal transactions revenues increased 3.3% to $62.6 million from $60.6 million in the comparable period in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in client activity.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, fixed income capital-raising revenues increased 8.9% to $49.6 million from $45.6 million during the comparable period in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to higher bond issuances reflecting a more favorable financing environment.

------

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, advisory revenues increased 58.9% to $218.4 million from $137.5 million in the comparable period in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to higher levels of completed advisory transactions over the comparable period in 2025.

***Interest*** – For the three months ended March 31, 2026, interest increased 15.5% to $10.5 million from $9.1 million in the comparable period in 2025.

***Other income*** – For the three months ended March 31, 2026, other income decreased 27.9% to $5.5 million from $7.6 million in the comparable period in 2025.

***Communications and office supplies*** – For the three months ended March 31, 2026, communications and office supplies expense decreased 1.5% to $26.5 million from $26.9 million during the comparable period in 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower communication and quote equipment expenses and telecommunication expenses, partially offset by higher office supplies expenses.

***Commissions and floor brokerage*** – For the three months ended March 31, 2026, commissions and floor brokerage expense decreased 20.2% to $7.7 million from $9.6 million during the comparable period in 2025.

---

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net revenues increased 154.1% to $50.8 million from $20.0 million in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to the recognition of a gain on the sale of SIA during the quarter.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, non-interest expenses increased 38.8% to $153.3 million from $110.5 million in 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in variable compensation.

The expenses relating to the Company's acquisition strategy are primarily attributable to integration-related activities, signing bonuses, amortization of restricted stock awards, debentures, and promissory notes issued as retention, additional earn-out expense, and amortization of intangible assets acquired. These costs were directly related to acquisitions of certain businesses and are not representative of the costs of running the Company's ongoing business.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, non-interest expenses related to our acquisition strategy, included in the numbers presented in the table above, increased 141.8% to $30.6 million from $12.7 million in 2025.

***Analysis of Financial Condition***

Our company's consolidated statements of financial condition consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, financial instruments owned, bank loans, investments, goodwill, loans and advances to financial advisors, bank deposits, and payables. Total assets of $42.9 billion, were up 3.9% over December 31, 2025. Our broker-dealer subsidiary's gross assets and liabilities, including financial instruments owned, stock loan/borrow, receivables and payables from/to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations and clients, fluctuate with our business levels and overall market conditions.

As of March 31, 2026, our liabilities were comprised primarily of deposits of $30.8 billion at Stifel Bancorp, lease liabilities of $849.1 million, payables to customers of $803.1 million at our broker-dealer subsidiaries, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $719.2 million, senior notes, net of debt issuance costs, of $617.6 million, and accrued employee compensation of $522.7 million. To meet our obligations to clients and operating needs, we had $14.4 billion of cash or assets readily convertible into cash at March 31, 2026.

*Cash Flow*

Cash and cash equivalents increased $645.6 million to $2.9 billion at March 31, 2026, from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2025. Operating activities used cash of $342.6 million. Investing activities used cash of $256.2 million due to investment securities purchases and fixed asset purchases, partially offset by proceeds from principal paydowns of investment securities and the proceeds received from the sale of the SIA business. Financing activities provided cash of $1.2 billion primarily due to an increase in bank deposits, securities loaned, and securities sold under agreement to repurchase, partially offset by tax payments related to shares withheld for stock-based compensation, repurchases of our common stock, and dividends paid on our common and preferred stock.

***Liquidity and Capital Resources***

Liquidity and capital are essential to our business. The primary goal of our liquidity management activities is to ensure adequate funding and liquidity to conduct our business over a range of economic and market environments, including times of broader industry or market liquidity stress events. In times of market stress or uncertainty, we generally maintain higher levels of capital and liquidity, including increased cash levels at our bank subsidiaries, to ensure we have adequate funding to support our business and meet our clients' needs.

------

We seek to manage capital levels to support execution of our business strategy, provide financial strength to our subsidiaries, and maintain sustained access to the capital markets, while at the same time meeting our regulatory capital requirements, and conservative internal management targets.

Liquidity and capital resources are provided primarily through our business operations and financing activities. Financing activities could include bank borrowings, collateralized financing arrangements, new or enhanced deposit product offerings, or additional capital-raising activities under our "universal" shelf registration statement. We believe our existing assets, most of which are liquid in nature, together with funds generated from operations and available from committed and uncommitted financing facilities, provide adequate funds for continuing operations at current levels of activity in the short-term. We also believe that we will be able to continue to meet our long-term cash requirements due to our strong financial position and ability to access capital from financial markets.

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, repurchase agreements, 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. Interest rate increases may harm the value of our investment portfolio, if interest rates rise, our unrealized gains on fixed income securities may decrease and our unrealized losses may increase. We would recognize the accumulated change in estimated fair value of these fixed income securities in net income when we realize a gain or loss upon the sale of the security.

Our bank assets consist principally of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, loans held for investment, 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 their ability to meet customer deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, and support asset growth.

As of March 31, 2026, we had $42.9 billion in assets, $14.4 billion of which consisted of cash or assets readily convertible into cash as follows *(in thousands)*:

***Liquidity Available From Subsidiaries***

Liquidity is principally available to our company from Stifel and Stifel Bancorp.

Stifel is required to maintain net capital equal to the greater of $1 million or two percent of aggregate debit items arising from client transactions. Covenants in the Company's committed financing facilities require the excess net capital of Stifel, our principal broker-dealer subsidiary, to be above a defined amount. At March 31, 2026, Stifel's excess net capital exceeded the minimum requirement, as defined. There are also limitations on the amount of dividends that may be declared by a broker-dealer without FINRA approval. See

------

Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the capital restrictions placed on our broker-dealer subsidiaries.

Stifel Bancorp may pay dividends to the parent company without prior approval by its regulator as long as the dividend does not exceed the sum of Stifel Bancorp's current calendar year and the previous two calendar years' retained net income and Stifel Bancorp maintains its targeted capital to risk-weighted assets ratios.

Although we have liquidity available to us from our other subsidiaries, the available amounts are not as significant as the amounts described above and, in certain instances, may be subject to regulatory requirements.

***Capital Management***

We have an ongoing authorization from the Board of Directors to repurchase our common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions. At March 31, 2026, the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under this plan was 10.2 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.

***Liquidity Risk Management***

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.

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 (Firmwide) –**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. 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•No government support

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•No access to equity and unsecured debt markets within the stress time horizon

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Higher haircuts and significantly lower availability of secured funding

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Additional collateral that would be required by trading counter-parties, certain exchanges, and clearing organizations related to credit rating downgrades

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Client cash withdrawals and inability to accept new deposits

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Increased demand from customers on the funding of loans and lines of credit

At March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026, available cash and highly liquid investments comprised approximately 14% 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 bank subsidiaries have not violated any internal liquidity policy limits.

***Funding Sources***

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.

On September 14, 2023, we filed a "universal" shelf registration statement with the SEC pursuant to which we can issue debt, equity and other capital instruments if and when necessary or perceived by us to be opportune. Subject to certain conditions, this registration statement will be effective through September 14, 2026.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents** – We held $2.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026, compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents provide immediate sources of funds to meet our liquidity needs.

**Available-for-Sale Securities** – We held $1.59 billion in available-for-sale investment securities at March 31, 2026, compared to $1.59 billion at December 31, 2025. 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 our largest funding source. Deposits provide a stable, low-cost source of funds that we utilize to fund 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 March 31, 2026, we had $30.8 billion in deposits compared to $29.8 billion at

------

December 31, 2025. Our core deposits are primarily comprised of money market deposit accounts, non-interest-bearing deposits, and CDs. Total estimated uninsured deposits were $5.6 billion and $4.9 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on deposits was 2.07% and 2.58% at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Deposits are primarily sourced by our multi-bank sweep program in which clients' cash deposits in their brokerage accounts are swept into FDIC-insured interest-bearing accounts at our bank subsidiaries and various third-party banks. In addition to our historical sweep program, we offer the Stifel Smart Rate Program ("Smart Rate"), a high yield savings account that keeps our brokerage clients' cash balances at Stifel affiliated banks through their securities accounts. Brokerage client deposits totaled $25.8 billion and $25.6 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which includes $14.3 billion and $14.7 billion, respectively, of client cash in our Smart Rate program. The decrease in money market deposits during the first quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by typical seasonality related to income tax payments. Please refer to the Net Interest Income table for additional information on our average balances and interest income and expense.

**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 securities pledged as collateral. We also have an unsecured, committed bank line available.

Our uncommitted secured lines of credit at March 31, 2026, totaled $780.0 million with three 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. There were no borrowings on our uncommitted secured lines during the three months ended March 31, 2026. 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 March 31, 2026, we had no outstanding balances on our uncommitted secured lines of credit.

We entered into an uncommitted, unsecured $100.0 million line of credit with UMB Bank during the first quarter of 2026. Our peak daily borrowing was $35.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, we had an outstanding balance of $35.0 million, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition.

Federal Home Loan advances are floating-rate advances. 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. At March 31, 2026, there were no Federal Home Loan advances.

**Unsecured borrowings** – On February 4, 2026, the Company and Stifel (the "Borrowers") entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") with respect to its existing unsecured Credit Agreement, dated September 27, 2023, (the "Credit Agreement"), among the Company and Stifel and a syndicate of lenders led by Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. Concurrently with, and conditional upon, the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, all of the commitments under the Borrowers' existing Credit Agreement were terminated.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has a maturity date of February 4, 2031, and provides for a committed unsecured revolving borrowing facility for maximum aggregate borrowings of up to $1.0 billion depending on the amount of outstanding borrowings of the Borrowers from time to time during the duration of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The interest rates on borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are variable and are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.

The Borrowers can draw upon this facility as long as certain restrictive covenants are maintained. Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Borrowers 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 is required to maintain compliance with a minimum regulatory excess net capital percentage covenant, as defined, and the Company's bank subsidiaries are required to maintain their status as well-capitalized, as defined.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Company's obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the lending commitments thereunder terminated. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 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, change of control, and judgment defaults. At March 31, 2026, we had no advances on the Credit Facility and were in compliance with all covenants and currently do not expect any covenant violations.

**Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and other secured financing** – Stifel Bancorp has borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of $7.2 billion at March 31, 2026 and $64.5 million in federal funds agreements for the purpose of purchasing short-term funds should additional liquidity be needed. At March 31, 2026, there were no outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Stifel Bancorp is eligible to participate in the Federal Reserve's discount window program; however, Stifel Bancorp does not view borrowings from the Federal Reserve 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 Federal Reserve, and is secured by securities. Stifel Bancorp has borrowing capacity of $6.6 billion with the Federal Reserve's discount window at March 31, 2026. Stifel Bancorp receives overnight funds from excess cash

held in Stifel brokerage accounts, which are deposited into a money market account. These balances totaled $25.8 billion at March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, there was $26.9 billion in client money market and FDIC-insured product balances.

**Public Offering of Senior Notes** – On October 4, 2017, we completed the pricing of a 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 in January, April, July, and October. 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 notes.

On May 20, 2020, we sold in a registered underwritten public offering, $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.00% senior notes due May 2030. Interest on these senior notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in May and November. We may redeem the notes in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of a) 100% of their principal amount or b) discounted present value at Treasury rate plus 50 basis points prior to February 15, 2030, and on or after February 15, 2030, at 100% of their principal amount, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In May 2020, we received a BBB- rating on the notes.

**Public Offering of Preferred Stock** – In July 2016, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of $150.0 million 6.25% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A. On August 20, 2021, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

In February 2019, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of $150.0 million 6.25% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B. In March 2019, we completed a public offering of an additional $10.0 million of Series B Preferred, pursuant to the over-allotment option.

In May 2020, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of $225.0 million 6.125% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, which included the sale of $25.0 million of Series C Preferred pursuant to an over-allotment option.

On July 22, 2021, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of $300.0 million of 4.50% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D. When, as, and if declared by the board of directors of the Company, dividends will be payable at an annual rate of 4.50%, payable quarterly, in arrears. The Company may redeem the Series D preferred stock at its option, subject to regulatory approval, on or after August 15, 2026.

***Credit Rating***

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, a significant portion 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.

**Use of Capital Resources**

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 nine months in 2026, and the years ended December 31, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, and thereafter are $121.3 million, $128.4 million, $114.9 million, $87.4 million, $68.7 million, and $182.8 million, respectively. These estimates could change if we continue to grow our business through expansion or experience increased production levels.

We provide compensation to existing employees in the form of cash awards which are subject to ratable vesting terms with service requirements. We amortize these awards to compensation expense over the relevant service period of five years. At March 31, 2026, there was $41.9 million of cash awards, net, which is included in loans and advances to financial advisors and other employees, net in the consolidated statement of financial condition, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 4.1 years.

------

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 associates. Historically, we have granted stock units to our associates as part of our retention program. A restricted stock unit or restricted stock award 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 associate and is issued in lieu of cash incentive, principally for deferred compensation and employee retention plans. The restricted stock units generally vest over the next one to ten years after issuance and are distributed at predetermined future payable dates once vesting occurs. Restricted stock awards are restricted as to sale or disposition. These restrictions lapse over the next year.

At March 31, 2026, the total number of restricted stock units, PRSUs, and restricted stock awards outstanding was 16.1 million, of which 14.8 million were unvested. At March 31, 2026, there was unrecognized compensation cost for deferred awards of approximately $967.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

The future estimated compensation expense of the deferred awards, assuming current year forfeiture levels and static growth for the remaining nine months in 2026, and the years ended December 31, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, and thereafter are $216.4 million, $230.9 million, $181.5 million, $143.8 million, $96.8 million, and $97.7 million, respectively. These estimates could change if our forfeitures change from historical levels.

The Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on shares of the Company's common stock of $0.34 per share, payable March 16, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 2, 2026.

The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the outstanding shares of the Company's preferred stock payable on March 16, 2026, to shareholders of record on March 2, 2026.

**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 have consistently operated in excess of their capital adequacy requirements. Our Canadian subsidiary, SNC, is subject to the regulatory supervision and requirements of CIRO.

At March 31, 2026, Stifel had net capital of $643.2 million, which was 38.2% of aggregate debit items and $609.6 in excess of its minimum required net capital. At March 31, 2026, all of our other broker-dealer subsidiaries' net capital exceeded the minimum net capital required under the SEC rule. At March 31, 2026, SNEL's capital and reserves were in excess of the financial resources requirement under the rules of the FCA. At March 31, 2026, our banking subsidiaries were considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. At March 31, 2026, SNC's net capital and reserves were in excess of the financial resources requirement under the rules of the CIRO. See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details of our regulatory capital requirements.

***Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates***

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. There have not been any material updates to our critical accounting policies and estimates.

The following are our critical accounting policies and estimates:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Valuation of Financial Instruments

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Contingencies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Allowance for Credit Losses

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Income Taxes

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Goodwill and Intangible Assets

***Recently Issued Accounting Guidance***

*Income Statement Expenses*

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2024-03 ("ASU 2024-03"), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance primarily will require enhanced disclosures about certain types of expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 (January 1, 2027, for our company), and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact of the accounting update on our disclosures.

*Internal Use Software*

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06 ("ASU 2025-06"), Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The guidance primarily removes references to software development project stages to better align with current software development methods. Under ASU 2025-06, an entity will begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The accounting update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (January 1, 2028, for our company), including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The accounting update can be adopted either prospectively, retrospectively, or utilizing a modified transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on our consolidated financial statements.

*Credit Losses Purchased Loans* 

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Purchased Loans, which expands the population of purchased financial assets subject to the gross-up approach in Topic 326. As a result of this update, loans (excluding credit cards) acquired without credit deterioration and deemed "seasoned" as defined in the accounting update will follow the gross-up approach at acquisition, and the initial allowance for credit losses at acquisition is added to the amortized cost basis of the loans. The accounting update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 (January 1, 2027, for our company), including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The accounting update will be applied using a prospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on our consolidated financial statements.

*Interim Reporting* 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies interim disclosure requirements and provides additional required interim disclosure guidance. The accounting update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (January 1, 2028, for our company) with early adoption permitted and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on our consolidated financial statements.

***Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements***

Information concerning our off-balance sheet arrangements is included in Note 21 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Such information is hereby incorporated by reference.

***Contractual Obligations***

Our contractual obligations have not materially changed from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

***ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK***

***Risk Management***

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 specific administrative and business functions 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, capital and liquidity, operational, and regulatory and legal.

We have adopted policies and procedures concerning Enterprise Risk Management. The Risk Management 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.

------

***Market Risk***

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.

***Interest Rate Risk***

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, Federal Home Loan Bank 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.

Value-at-Risk ("VaR") is a statistical technique used to estimate the probability of portfolio losses based on the statistical analysis of historical price trends and volatility. It provides a common risk measure across financial instruments, markets and asset classes. We estimate VaR using a model that assumes 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. We monitor, on a daily basis, the VaR in our trading portfolios using a ten-day horizon and a five year look-back period measured at a 99% confidence level.

The following table sets forth the high, low, and daily average VaR for our trading portfolios during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the daily VaR at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 *(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 income, an analysis of net interest income 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 income at March 31, 2026, based on shifts in interest rates of up to positive 200 basis points and negative 200 basis points:

---

***Equity Price Risk***

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.

***Credit Risk***

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 March 31, 2026, the fair value of securities accepted as collateral where we are permitted to sell or repledge the securities was $2.6 billion and the fair value of the collateral that had been sold or repledged was $863.0 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 are 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***

Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from our operations, including, but not limited to, business disruptions, improper or unauthorized execution and processing of transactions, deficiencies in our technology or financial operating systems, and inadequacies or breaches in our control processes including cyber security incidents. We operate different businesses in diverse markets and are reliant on the ability of our 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 associates, we could suffer financial loss, regulatory sanctions, and damage to our reputation. In order to mitigate and control operational risk, we have developed and continue to enhance specific 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.

***Regulatory and Legal Risk***

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 "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in Item 2, Part I and "Legal Proceedings" in Item 1, Part II of this report for further discussion of our legal proceedings. 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 CIRO. 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. 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 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.

***ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES***

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

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 March 31, 2026 and has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective as of such date.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

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, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II OTHER INFORMATION**

***ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS*** 

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, 2025 and Item 1. "Financial Statements" in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

***ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS***

The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with 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, 2025. 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, 2025.

***ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS***
