Lester Brafman, Chief Executive Officer of Cohen
& Company, said, “Our investment portfolio continues to impact
our results, as our combined negative principal transactions
revenue and loss from equity method affiliates amounted to $3.0
million for the quarter. The prolonged slump in investment banking
and origination resulted in less than expected new issue and
advisory revenue during the quarter. We strongly believe in our
team of bankers and originators, as we continue to build our
pipeline, and look forward to more favorable capital markets. As we
move forward, we remain focused on enhancing stockholder value, and
in the first quarter we continued to pay our quarterly
dividend.”
Financial Highlights
- Net loss attributable to Cohen
& Company Inc. was $2.6 million, or $1.77 per diluted share,
for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net loss of
$3.0 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, for the three months
ended December 31, 2022, and net loss of $7.6 million, or $5.46 per
diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Adjusted
pre-tax loss was $9.6 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, for the
three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to adjusted pre-tax
loss of $6.1 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, for the three
months ended December 31, 2022, and adjusted pre-tax loss of $18.6
million, or $3.35 per diluted share, for the three months ended
March 31, 2022. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and adjusted pre-tax
income (loss) per diluted share are not measures recognized under
GAAP. See Note 1 below.
- Revenues were $8.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $12.5 million for
the prior quarter and negative $0.7 million for the prior year
quarter.
- Net trading revenue was $8.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, down $1.4
million from the prior quarter and $3.8 million from the prior year
quarter. The decrease from both prior quarters was due primarily to
lower trading revenue by our mortgage group.
- Asset management revenue was $2.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, up $0.3 million
from the prior quarter and $0.1 million from the prior year
quarter. The increase from both prior quarters was due primarily to
an incentive allocation earned by the manager of the Company’s SPAC
funds in the current quarter.
- New issue and advisory revenue was
$0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, down $3.3
million from the prior quarter and $2.9 million from the prior year
quarter. In the current quarter, the Cohen & Company Capital
Markets investment banking team generated $0.7 million and the U.S.
insurance origination team generated $0.2 million of the new issue
and advisory revenue.
- Principal transactions and other
revenue was negative $2.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 2023, compared to negative $3.2 million in the prior quarter
and negative $18.4 million in the prior year quarter. In all
quarters presented, the negative principal transactions and other
revenue was primarily due to mark-to-market adjustments on the
Company’s principal investments related to the Company’s
involvement in the SPAC market as a sponsor, asset manager, and
investor, which has resulted in increased holdings of public equity
positions in post-business combination companies, which holdings
are often restricted and are subject to market adjustments, both up
and down.
- Compensation and benefits expense
during the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $1.6 million
from the prior quarter and decreased $3.3 million from the prior
year quarter. The number of Company employees was 121 as of March
31, 2023, compared to 121 as of December 31, 2022, and 115 as of
March 31, 2022.
- Interest expense during the three
months ended March 31, 2023 increased $0.4 million from the prior
quarter and $0.2 million from the prior year quarter.
- Loss from equity method affiliates
for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $0.4 million,
compared to loss from equity method affiliates of $6.4 million for
the prior quarter and loss from equity method affiliates of $12.1
million for the prior year quarter.
- Income tax expense for the three
months ended March 31, 2023 was $0.6 million, compared to $1.3
million in the prior quarter, and $1.8 million in the prior year
quarter. The Company will continue to evaluate its operations on a
quarterly basis and may adjust the valuation allowance applied
against the Company's net operating loss and net capital loss tax
assets. Future adjustments could be material and may result in
additional tax benefit or tax expense.
Total Equity and Dividend Declaration
- As of March 31, 2023, total equity
was $82.4 million, compared to $94.0 million as of December 31,
2022; the non-convertible non-controlling interest component of
total equity was $153 thousand as of March 31, 2023 and $17
thousand as of December 31, 2022. Thus, the total equity excluding
the non-convertible non-controlling interest component was $82.2
million as of March 31, 2023, an $11.8 million decrease from $94.0
million as of December 31, 2022.
- The Company’s Board of Directors
has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, payable on
June 2, 2023, to stockholders of record as of May 18, 2023. The
Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the dividend policy
each quarter, and future decisions regarding dividends may be
impacted by quarterly operating results and the Company’s capital
needs.

Forward-looking Statements
This communication contains certain statements,
estimates, and forecasts with respect to future performance and
events. These statements, estimates, and forecasts are
“forward-looking statements.” In some cases, forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,”
“plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,”
“potential,” “seek,” or “continue” or the negatives thereof or
variations thereon or similar terminology. All statements other
than statements of historical fact included in this communication
are forward-looking statements and are based on various underlying
assumptions and expectations and are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, and may include projections
of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies
and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are based
on our current expectations and projections about future events.
There are important factors that could cause our actual results,
level of activity, performance, or achievements to differ
materially from the results, level of activity, performance, or
achievements expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements
including, but not limited to, those discussed under the heading
“Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition” in our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available at the SEC’s
website at www.sec.gov and our website at
www.cohenandcompany.com/investor-relations/sec-filings. Such risk
factors include the following: (a) a decline in general economic
conditions or the global financial markets, including those caused
by inflation, raising interest rates, and the Russian/Ukrainian
war, (b) losses caused by financial or other problems experienced
by third parties, (c) losses due to unidentified or unanticipated
risks, (d) a lack of liquidity, i.e., ready access to funds for use
in our businesses, (e) the ability to attract and retain personnel,
(f) litigation and regulatory issues, (g) competitive pressure, (h)
an inability to generate incremental income from new or expanded
businesses, (i) unanticipated market closures or effects due to
inclement weather or other disasters, (j) losses (whether realized
or unrealized) on our principal investments, (k) the possibility
that payments to the Company of subordinated management fees from
its CDOs will continue to be deferred or will be discontinued, (l)
the possibility that the stockholder rights plan may fail to
preserve the value of the Company’s deferred tax assets, whether as
a result of the acquisition by a person of 5% of the Company’s
common stock or otherwise, (m) a reduction in the volume of
investments into SPACs, (n) the difficulty in identifying potential
business combinations as a result of increased competition in the
SPAC market, (o) the value of our holdings of founders shares in
post-business combination companies is volatile and may decline and
the possibility that significant portions of the founder shares may
remain restricted for a long period of time, (p) the possibility
that the Company will stop paying quarterly dividends to its
stockholders, (q) the possibility that the Company will incur
additional losses liquidating collateral related to a reverse repo
with now bankrupt First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation, (r) the
impacts of rising interest rates and inflation, and (s) the impacts
of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, there can be no assurance
that the forward-looking statements included in this communication
will prove to be accurate or correct. In light of these risks,
uncertainties, and assumptions, the future performance or events
described in the forward-looking statements in this communication
might not occur. Accordingly, you should not rely upon
forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results and we
do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events,
or otherwise.
Cautionary Note Regarding Quarterly Financial
Results
Due to the nature of our business, our revenue
and operating results may fluctuate materially from quarter to
quarter. Accordingly, revenue and net income in any particular
quarter may not be indicative of future results. Further, our
employee compensation arrangements are in large part
incentive-based and, therefore, will fluctuate with revenue. The
amount of compensation expense recognized in any one quarter may
not be indicative of such expense in future periods. As a result,
we suggest that annual results may be the most meaningful gauge for
investors in evaluating our business performance.

anti-dilutive, the basic shares outstanding are presented on this
line item. |
|
|
(2) Adjusted fully diluted shares outstanding includes (a)
Operating LLC units exchangeable into COHN shares at all times,
including weighted restricted units, and (b) weighted restricted
shares, even during periods when the corresponding GAAP calculation
of fully diluted shares outstanding above does not include them.
The Operating LLC units are always included because the non-GAAP
measure of performance, adjusted pre-tax income (loss), always
includes net income (loss) attributable to the corresponding
convertible interest. |

Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and adjusted
pre-tax income (loss) per diluted share
Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is not a
financial measure recognized by GAAP. Adjusted pre-tax income
(loss) represents net income (loss) attributable to Cohen &
Company Inc., computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding income
tax expense (benefit), plus the net income (loss) attributable to
the convertible non-controlling interest. Income tax expense
(benefit) has been excluded because a pre-tax measurement of
enterprise earnings that includes net income (loss) attributable to
the convertible non-controlling interest is a useful and
appropriate measure of performance. Furthermore, our income tax
expense (benefit) has been, and we expect it will continue to be, a
substantially non-cash item for the foreseeable future, generated
from adjustments in our valuation allowance applied to the
Company’s gross deferred tax assets. Convertible non-controlling
interest is added back to adjusted pre-tax income because the
underlying Cohen & Company, LLC equity units are convertible
into Cohen & Company Inc. shares. Adjusted pre-tax income
(loss) per diluted share is calculated, by dividing adjusted
pre-tax income (loss) by diluted shares outstanding, both of which
include adjustments used in the corresponding calculation in
accordance with GAAP.
We present adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and
related per diluted share amounts in this release because we
consider them to be useful and appropriate supplemental measures of
our performance. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and related per
diluted share amounts help us to evaluate our performance without
the effects of certain GAAP calculations that may not have a direct
cash or recurring impact on our current operating performance. In
addition, our management uses adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and
related per diluted share amounts to evaluate the performance of
our enterprise operations. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and
related per diluted share amounts, as we define them, are not
necessarily comparable to similarly named measures of other
companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance
relative to other companies. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) should
not be assessed in isolation from or construed as a substitute for
net income (loss) attributable to Cohen & Company Inc. prepared
in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is not
intended to represent and should not be considered to be a more
meaningful measure than, or an alternative to, measures of
operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.
