NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire – October 29, 2009) – GFI Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GFIG), a leading provider of wholesale brokerage, electronic execution and trading support products for global financial markets, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Highlights
— Total revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $192.2 million
compared with $243.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. In the third
quarter of 2009, total revenues included a $5.2 million mark-to-market
unrealized loss on forward hedges of future foreign currency revenues. In
the third quarter of 2008, total revenues included a $9.6 million pre-tax
charge related to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. Excluding these items,
revenues declined 22% to $197.5 million for the third quarter of 2009
compared with $252.7 million in the third quarter of 2008 on a non-GAAP
basis.
— Brokerage revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $184.4 million
compared with $226.4 million on a GAAP basis and $235.9 million on a non-
GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2008.
— In the third quarter of 2009, compensation and employee benefits
expense was 70.3% of total revenues on a GAAP basis and 68.4% on a non-GAAP
basis, compared with 72.6% of total revenues on a GAAP basis and 62.9% on a
non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2008.
— Non-compensation expenses as a percentage of revenues were 27.4% of
total revenues on a GAAP basis and 26.0% on a non-GAAP basis in the third
quarter of 2009 compared with 31.8% of total revenues on a GAAP basis and
24.6% on a non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2008.
— Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $2.8 million, or $0.02
per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $6.7 million, or ($0.06) per
diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008, which included a pre-tax
charge of $20.9 million related to restructuring initiatives. On a non-
GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $6.9 million, or
$0.06 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $20.0
million, or $0.17 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2008.
Michael Gooch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GFI, commented: “Our third quarter revenues were in line with our expectations as we experienced uneventful trading activity compared to the third quarter last year, which was marked by extreme volatility due to the credit crisis.
“Credit product non-GAAP revenues decreased 2% from the third quarter of 2008 and were down 16% sequentially. Within the credit category, our revenues from credit derivatives declined 48% year over year while our revenues from cash fixed income brokerage operations rose 122% from the third quarter of 2008. However, we saw a change in sequential trend in the third quarter with credit derivative revenues rising 2% over the second quarter of 2009 following several quarters of declines.
“Equity product revenues were down 36% year over year and 9% sequentially due to continued depressed share values in Europe and declines in equity trading volumes in both the U.S. and Europe, as equity market volatility was dramatically lower than in the third quarter of 2008.
“Our financial product revenues declined 27% from the third quarter of 2008 but were approximately level with the second quarter of 2009. While revenues from emerging market products and interest rate derivatives were lower year over year, we saw growth in each category sequentially.
“Commodity product revenues decreased 25% from the third quarter of 2008, but rose 2% sequentially. Dry and wet freight shipping derivatives accounted for the majority of the decline in comparison with last year, but after several quarters of weakness, shipping revenues increased 45% sequentially.
“Compensation and employee benefits expense, which is the largest component of our costs, decreased 15% year-over-year on a non-GAAP basis and 8% from the second quarter of 2009, but increased as a percentage of total revenues in comparison to both prior periods on a non-GAAP basis. The increase in compensation expense as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter of 2009 is due to the active restructuring of our business and product focus as we adjust to changing market dynamics, lower revenues in some historically higher margin derivative markets, and amortization of previously paid sign-on and retention bonuses.
“Looking at the fourth quarter of 2009, we currently expect total revenues to decrease by 3% to 7% versus total non-GAAP revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008.”
Mr. Gooch concluded: “Trading volumes continue to be depressed to some degree due to the uncertainty in the banking and regulatory environment. In a recent favorable development, our core businesses are likely to fall into the category of swap execution facilities under proposed U.S. legislation. Companies such as GFI with proven execution, strong market share and sophisticated trading technology should benefit from increased transparency and clearing of standardized derivatives. GFI, through its association with industry trade groups, has been actively engaged in the discussion amongst regulators and legislators in Washington, London and Brussels. We are optimistic in our belief that the regulatory issues that have clouded the prospects of the derivatives market will be largely resolved over the coming months.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement GFI’s unaudited financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by GFI include non-GAAP revenues, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures currently exclude amortization of acquired intangibles and certain other items that management views as non-operating or non-recurring from the Company’s statement of income as detailed below.
In addition, GFI may consider whether other significant non-operating or non-recurring items that arise in the future should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses. The non-GAAP financial measures also take into account income tax adjustments with respect to the excluded items.
GFI believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core business, operating results or future outlook. GFI’s management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of the Company’s performance to prior periods.
In addition to the reasons stated above, which are generally applicable to each of the items GFI excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude amortization of acquired intangibles because when analyzing the operating performance of an acquired business, GFI’s management focuses on the total return provided by the investment (i.e., operating profit generated from the acquired entity as compared to the purchase price paid) without taking into consideration any charges for allocations made for accounting purposes. Further, because the purchase price for an acquisition necessarily reflects the accounting value assigned to intangible assets, when analyzing the operating performance of an acquisition in subsequent periods, the Company’s management excludes the GAAP impact of acquired intangible assets on its financial results. GFI believes that such an approach is useful in understanding the long-term return provided by an acquisition and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the accounting expense associated with acquired intangible assets.
Set forth below is specific detail regarding items excluded in our non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP to GAAP figures follows this press release.
In the third quarter of 2009, the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues was $5.2 million and the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP net income was $4.1 million and reflected for non-GAAP purposes:
— The exclusion from revenues of a $5.2 million mark-to-market
unrealized loss on forward hedges of future foreign currency revenues;
— The exclusion of $1.4 million of amortization on all acquired
intangible assets; and
— The effect of adjusting for these items would increase the Company’s
income tax expense by $2.4 million.
In the first nine months of 2009, the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenue was $2.9 million and the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP net income was $3.7 million and reflected for non-GAAP purposes:
— The exclusion from revenues of:
— $2.2 million mark-to-market unrealized gains on forward hedges of
future foreign currency revenues; and
— a $0.7 million gain on the Company’s exchange of its investment in
The Clearing Corporation for an investment in a holding company of
ICE Trust;
— The exclusion of $4.1 million of amortization on all acquired
intangible assets;
— The exclusion of $4.6 million related to severance and other
restructuring initiatives, including an $0.8 million charge relating to
the termination of a joint venture; and
— The effect of adjusting for these items would increase the Company’s
income tax expense by $2.1 million.
In the third quarter of 2008, the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues was $9.6 million and the difference between the GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net income was $26.7 million and reflected for non-GAAP purposes:
— The exclusion from revenues of a $9.6 million charge for unsettled
trades directly related to the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy;
— The exclusion of $1.4 million of amortization on all acquired
intangible assets;
— The exclusion of $1.8 million in expenses related to discontinued
merger discussions;
— The exclusion of items related to the relocation of the Company’s New
York offices to larger premises completed in the third quarter of 2008,
including:
— $0.8 million of duplicate rent expense; and
— $7.8 million of costs related to the abandonment of and move from
the Company’s previous headquarters;
— The exclusion of $3.5 million of reduced compensation expenses related
to the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy;
— The exclusion of $20.9 million related to the Company’s restructuring
initiatives, including:
— $14.5 million for costs related to desk closings and other
restructuring charges; and
— $6.4 million adjustment related to deferred compensation expense;
— The exclusion of a $3.1 million write-off of an investment in an
unconsolidated affiliate; and
— The effect of adjusting for these items would increase the Company’s
income tax expense by $15.3 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues was $9.6 million and the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP net income was $31.1 million and reflected for non-GAAP purposes:

trades directly related to the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy;
— The exclusion of $3.9 million of amortization on all acquired
intangible assets;
— The exclusion of $1.8 million in expenses related to discontinued
merger discussions;
— The exclusion of items related to the relocation of the Company’s New
York offices to larger premises completed in the third quarter of 2008,
including:
— $2.5 million of duplicate rent expense;
— $2.7 million of accelerated depreciation expense related to assets
to be abandoned; and
— $7.8 million of costs related to the abandonment of and move from
the Company’s previous headquarters;
— The exclusion of $3.5 million of reduced compensation expenses related
to the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy;
— The exclusion of $20.9 million related to the Company’s restructuring
initiatives, including:
— $14.5 million for costs relating to desk closings and other
restructuring charges; and
— $6.4 million adjustment related to deferred compensation expense;
— The exclusion of a $3.1 million write-off of an investment in an
unconsolidated affiliate; and
— The effect of adjusting for these items would increase the Company’s
income tax expense by $17.9 million.
