Insights

Oppenheimer Holdings delivered strong Q3 2024 results with net income increasing by 76.1% to $24.5 million and revenue growing 19.4% to $373.4 million. Key performance highlights include:

  • Record assets under management of $49.1 billion and assets under administration of $129.8 billion
  • Private Client segment revenue up 13.2% with strong advisory fees and commission growth
  • Capital Markets revenue increased 31.1%, driven by 82.2% growth in advisory fees
  • Strategic debt reduction through redemption of $113.05 million in Senior Secured Notes

The improved performance reflects market strength, higher trading volumes and successful restructuring advisory business. The company's balance sheet strengthening and record book value per share of $81.10 position it well for future growth.

The market environment has significantly benefited OPY's business model. The Federal Reserve's rate cut decision and positive market sentiment have created favorable conditions for:

  • Higher retail trading activity during typically slow summer months
  • Increased margin lending revenue despite lower sweep income
  • Growth in restructuring advisory services while traditional equity underwriting remains challenged

The company's diversified revenue streams and strong wealth management franchise provide resilience, though equity underwriting headwinds persist. The reduction in debt obligations through note redemption improves financial flexibility and reduces interest expenses, positioning the firm well for potential market opportunities in 2025.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. (NYSE: OPY) (the "Company" or "Firm") today reported net income of $24.5 million or $2.38 basic earnings per share for the third quarter of 2024, compared with net income of $13.9 million or $1.32 basic earnings per share for the third quarter of 2023. Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $373.4 million, an increase of 19.4%, compared to revenue of $312.7 million for the third quarter of 2023.

Albert G. Lowenthal, Chairman and CEO commented, "The Firm delivered strong operating results for the quarter in a still-resilient economic environment.  During the third quarter, all major indices reached new highs, mostly spurred by the Federal Reserve's long-awaited decision to reduce the Federal Funds rate by one half percent with the view that lower borrowing costs will slow the uptick in unemployment without rekindling higher inflation. Based on recent economic indicators, it appears that the U.S. economy is headed for a soft landing, amidst continued growth in the economy as we move into 2025.

The continued outperformance of the equity markets aided our Wealth Management franchise by driving better than expected retail trading volumes and related commission revenues during what is typically a seasonally slower summer trading period.  The markets also propelled our assets under management ("AUM") to our third consecutive record, resulting in higher asset-based advisory fees. Additionally, higher average margin loans drove a meaningful improvement in our interest revenues from the prior year, though our interest sensitive sweep income was somewhat reduced due to lower average sweep balances.

Our investment banking revenues also rose due to an uptick in our advisory fees, particularly in our restructuring practice.  Equity underwriting fees were adversely impacted by lower issuance levels as we have seen economic uncertainty restrict issuances despite the general improvement in market breadth and market averages. We believe that that Firm is well positioned to benefit as issuance volumes improve.

Our results drove yet another fresh record in our book value per share levels and provided us with the opportunity to further strengthen our balance sheet as we announced our plans to redeem all outstanding senior secured notes ($113.05 million) at their par amounts, and retired the notes on October 10, 2024. Access to capital for expansion will continue to be available as needed. "

Highlights

  • Increased revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by significantly higher advisory fees attributable to a rise in billable assets under management ("AUM"), an increase in transaction-based commissions as well as improved investment banking and interest revenues
  • Announced plans to further strengthen balance sheet through the redemption of all outstanding Senior Secured Notes which occurred on October 10, 2024
  • Assets under administration and under management were both at record levels at September 30, 2024, benefiting from market appreciation
  • Compensation expenses increased from the prior year quarter largely as a result of higher incentive compensation, deferred compensation and production-related expenses.
  • Non-compensation expenses increased from the prior year quarter primarily due to higher interest and technology related expenses partially offset by lower legal costs
  • Total stockholder's equity, book value and tangible book value per share reached new record highs as a result of positive earnings

Private Client

Private Client reported revenue for the current quarter of $218.8 million, 13.2% higher compared with a year ago mostly due to higher advisory fees driven by appreciation in AUM and an increase in commission revenue due to higher transactional volume. Pre-tax income of $62.9 million in the current quarter resulted in a pre-tax margin of 28.8%. Financial advisor headcount at the end of the current quarter was 928 compared to 946 at the end of the third quarter of 2023.
