Net revenues

For the second quarter of 2022, net revenuesof $352.2 million were essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 2022 and decreased 31% compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Investment banking revenues of $234.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 decreased 9% compared to the first quarter of 2022 and 40% compared to the second quarter of 2021.

•Advisory services revenues of $169.7 million for the second quarter of 2022 decreased 20% compared to the first quarter of 2022 and 32% compared to the second quarter of 2021 driven by fewer completed transactions and a lower average fee. Performance during the current quarter was led by the financial services group with broad contributions from most of our industry teams. Our backlog of mandates is strong, however the macroeconomic uncertainty is prolonging transaction timelines and increasing deal risk.

•Corporate financing revenues of $29.2 million for the second quarter of 2022 increased 52% compared to the first quarter of 2022 driven by more completed equity financings. Consistent with the market, revenues for the current quarter decreased 71% compared to the second quarter of 2021 which included near-record levels of activity. Our performance during the quarter was led by both our financial services and healthcare teams. The overall market for equity capital raising continues to remain largely shut as the result of high levels of market volatility, declining valuations and a cautious investor outlook stemming from economic concerns and geopolitical risks.

•Municipal financing revenues of $35.2 million for the second quarter of 2022 increased 29% compared to the first quarter of 2022 driven by solid execution within our governmental business. Compared to the second quarter of 2021, revenues for the current quarter were essentially flat despite the decline in market issuance resulting from less refinancing activity reflecting our strong relative performance. Activity during the current quarter was driven by our governmental business and specialty sectors highlighting the continued benefits of our diversified franchise.

3

Institutional brokerage revenues of $104.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 were essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 2022 and increased 10% compared to the second quarter of 2021.

•Equity brokerage revenues of $51.4 million for the second quarter of 2022 increased modestly compared to the first quarter of 2022 and 47% compared to the second quarter of 2021, and represent our strongest quarter on record. Volatility remained elevated during the second quarter of 2022 leading to increased client activity compared to the second quarter of 2021. In addition, our performance during the second quarter of 2022 reflects a full quarter with Cornerstone Macro on our platform.

•Fixed income services revenues of $53.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 were essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 2022 as we continue to benefit from our broad product offerings and diverse client base which drove solid activity despite market volatility. Revenues decreased 12% compared to the second quarter of 2021 due to lower client activity resulting from interest rate volatility and expectations for continued tightening of monetary policy.

Investment income/(loss) for the second quarter of 2022 was income of $10.9 million compared to a loss of $13.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 and income of $26.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. The current and prior periods include amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. For the current and prior quarters, investment income or loss primarily related to our merchant banking portfolio.

Non-Interest Expenses

For the second quarter of 2022, non-interest expenses of $315.0 million were flat compared to the first quarter of 2022 and decreased 20% compared to the second quarter of 2021.

•Compensation ratio of 68.1% for the second quarter of 2022 decreased compared to the first quarter of 2022 on a consistent net revenue base driven by increased revenues from noncontrolling interests. The compensation ratio increased compared to the second quarter of 2021 as a result of lower net revenues as well as a shift in mix of business.

•Non-compensation expenses of $75.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 increased 12% compared to the first quarter of 2022 and 8% compared to the second quarter of 2021. Non-compensation expenses for the current quarter increased primarily from higher marketing and business development expenses associated with increased travel as well as higher professional fees related to recruiting. In addition, reimbursed deal-related expenses for the second quarter of 2022 increased compared to the sequential quarter.

Pre-Tax Income

For the second quarter of 2022, pre-tax income of $37.2 million increased compared to $35.6 million for the first quarter of 2022 and decreased compared to $114.1 million for the second quarter of 2021.

•Pre-tax margin of 10.6% for the second quarter of 2022 increased compared to 10.2% for the first quarter of 2022 on a consistent net revenue base due to a lower compensation ratio offset in part by higher non-compensation expenses. Pre-tax margin decreased compared to 22.4% for the second quarter of 2021 resulting from lower net revenues and a higher compensation ratio.

Effective Tax Rate

For the second quarter of 2022, the effective tax rate of 25.3% decreased compared to 30.8% for the first quarter of 2022 and increased compared to 23.7% for the first quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate is impacted by the level of noncontrolling interests, the amount of non-deductible expense, and restricted stock awards vesting at values greater or less than the grant date price.

Net Income & Earnings Per Share

For the second quarter of 2022, we generated net income of $21.4 million, or $1.26 per diluted common share. Results for the current quarter decreased compared to the first quarter of 2022 driven by higher non-compensation expenses. Results decreased compared to the second quarter of 2021 due to lower net revenues and pre-tax margin, as well as a higher effective tax rate.

N/M - Not meaningful

Throughout this press release, including the table above, we present financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments to exclude: (1) revenues and expenses related to noncontrolling interests, (2) interest expense on long-term financing, (3) amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, (4) compensation expenses from acquisition-related agreements, (5) acquisition-related restructuring and integration costs, and (6) the income tax expense allocated to the adjustments. The adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding used in the calculation of non-GAAP earnings per diluted common share contains an adjustment to include the common shares for unvested restricted stock awards with service conditions granted pursuant to all acquisitions since January 1, 2020. Management believes that presenting results and measures on this adjusted basis alongside U.S. GAAP measures provides the most meaningful basis for comparison of its operating results across periods, and enhances the overall understanding of our current financial performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, see "Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Selected Summary Financial Information."

Adjusted Net Revenues

For the second quarter of 2022, adjusted net revenues of $345.6 million reflect solid performances across most our businesses despite more challenged markets. Adjusted net revenues decreased 4% compared to the first quarter of 2022 due to lower advisory revenues offset in part by solid municipal financing and institutional brokerage revenues, as well as increased corporate financing activity. Adjusted net revenues decreased 30% compared to the exceptionally strong second quarter of 2021 due to lower advisory revenues and historically low equity financing activity. For the second quarter of 2022, investment banking generated 68% of total adjusted net revenues and institutional brokerage generated 30%.

The adjusted compensation ratio for the current quarter was higher as a result of lower adjusted net revenues and a continued focus on investing in the business.

•Adjusted non-compensation expenses of $68.3 million for the second quarter of 2022 increased 13% compared to the first quarter of 2022 and 19% compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily resulting from increased marketing and business development expenses related to employee travel and higher professional fees associated with recruiting.

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

For the second quarter of 2022, the adjusted effective tax rate of 25.2% increased compared to 23.1% for the first quarter of 2022 which included a $4.6 million benefit to adjusted income tax expense related to restricted stock vesting at values greater than the grant date price.

Adjusted Net Income & Adjusted Earnings Per Share

Results for the current quarter decreased compared to the first quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2021 driven by lower adjusted net revenues and a lower adjusted operating margin.

Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These forward-looking statements cover, among other things, statements made about the outlook for future periods for corporate advisory (i.e., M&A), capital markets, and public finance transactions (including our performance in specific sectors), current deal pipelines (or backlogs), economic, geopolitical, and market conditions (including the outlook for equity markets, investment banking transactions, CEO confidence, and the interest rate environment), the financial performance of pending and recently completed transactions (i.e., DBO Partners, Stamford Partners LLP, and Cornerstone Macro), areas of potential growth and market share gains for the company, our recruiting pipeline, the state of our equity and fixed income brokerage businesses, anticipated financial results for future periods (including expectations regarding revenue levels, non-compensation expenses, effective tax rate, compensation ratio, compensation and benefits expense, operating margins, return on equity, and earnings per share), our strategic priorities, the payment of our quarterly and special dividends to our shareholders, our share repurchase program, the expected benefits and integration of our pending acquisition of DBO Partners and our recently completed acquisitions of Stamford Partners LLP and Cornerstone Macro, or other similar matters.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or discussed in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and important factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•revenues from corporate advisory (i.e., M&A) engagements and equity and debt financings may vary materially depending on the number, size, and timing of completed transactions, and completed transactions do not generally provide for subsequent engagements;

•the expected benefits of our pending acquisition of DBO Partners and our recently completed acquisitions of Stamford Partners LLP and Cornerstone Macro may take longer than anticipated to achieve or may not be achieved in their entirety or at all, and will in part depend on our ability to retain and hire key personnel, and the costs or difficulties relating to the combination of the businesses may be greater than expected and may adversely affect our results of operations;

•market, geopolitical and economic conditions or developments may be unfavorable, including in specific sectors in which we operate, and these conditions or developments, such as market fluctuations or volatility, may adversely affect our business, revenue levels and profitability;

•the volume of anticipated transactions - including corporate advisory (i.e., M&A), equity financing, and debt financing - and the corresponding revenues from the transactions may vary from quarter to quarter significantly, particularly if there is a decline in macroeconomic conditions or the financial markets;

•interest rate volatility, especially if the changes are rapid or severe, could negatively impact our fixed income institutional business and the negative impact could be exaggerated by reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets; and

•our stock price may fluctuate as a result of several factors, including but not limited to, changes in our revenues and operating results.

A further listing and description of these and other risks, uncertainties and important factors can be found in the sections titled "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and updated in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC (available at our Web site at www.pipersandler.com and at the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov).

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. We undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.
