接线员:早上好,女士们,先生们。谢谢你的支持。欢迎大家来到Canaccord Genuity Group Inc.。2025财年第一季度业绩电话会议。[话务员说明]提醒您,本次电话会议正在进行现场直播、在线直播和录音。现在我想把电话会议交给总裁兼首席执行官丹·达维奥先生。请讲,达维奥先生。
Dan Daviau: Thank you, operator, and thanks for everyone joining us for today's call. As always, I'm joined by Don MacFayden, our Chief Financial Officer. Today's remarks are complementary to our earnings release, MD&A and supplemental financials, copies of which have been made available for download on SEDAR+ and on the Investor Relations section of our website at cgf.com. Within our update, certain reported information has been adjusted to exclude significant items to provide a transparent and comparative view of our operating performance. These adjusted items are non-IFRS financial measures. Please refer to our notice regarding forward-looking statements and the description of non-IFRS financial measures that appear in our Investor Presentation and in our MD&A. And now with that, let's discuss our first quarter fiscal 2025 results. Results for our first fiscal quarter reflect improving market conditions for corporate financing and advisory activities in our capital markets division, coupled with continued strong performance from each of our wealth management businesses. Firm-wide revenue for the three-month period improved by 25% year-over-year and 5% sequentially to $429 million. This reflects a 41% year-over-year increase in revenue from our capital markets division to $206 million and a 13% increase from our wealth management business to $216 million. Excluding significant items, firm-wide pre-tax net income improved by 6% year-over-year to $35 million. And this translated to diluted earnings per common share of $0.13. Although this represents an improvement of 86% compared to the same period last year, our profitability was impacted by higher interest expense in addition to increased G&A expenses in connection with conference and client engagement activities during the three-month period. As previously discussed, in addition to making disciplined investments to strengthen our core capabilities, we also continue to invest in our compliance infrastructure in each region, bolstering our operations and implementing best practice training programs to continue to promote a culture of compliance across the platform. We expect the non-compensation expenses related to this activity to continue over the coming year. Development costs for the quarter were also higher, primarily due to ongoing investments in connection with the growth of our wealth management operations. In addition to increased professional fees and certain exceptional items incurred during the period. about half of the quarter-to-quarter increase in our non-compensation expense is not expected to recur in future run rates. Reflecting confidence in the strength and consistency of earnings generated by our wealth management business, our Board of Directors has approved a dividend per common share of $0.085, which is in line with the previous quarters. On that note, I'm very pleased to report another strong quarterly performance from our wealth management division as we continue to execute against our long-term growth strategy. Client assets grew to a record $106 billion, driven by rising equity markets, solid advisor retention and recruiting, and positive flows in our managed portfolio products. This reflects a year-over-year increase of 19% in North America, 23% in Australia, and 11% in the UK & Crown Dependencies, where client assets reached a new record of $61 billion. We ended the quarter with modestly positive net inflows, primarily driven by organic growth efforts in all regions. Grows inflows continue to be offset by outflows as clients access their investments in an environment of elevated inflation and interest rates. We are hopeful this trend will soon change. On a consolidated basis, our wealth management businesses earned record quarterly revenue of $216 million, a year-over-year improvement of 13%, and a sequential improvement of 8%. The adjusted pre-tax net income contribution from this division amounted to $33 million, which was in line with our prior quarter and 8% lower than the same period a year ago, largely due to higher interest costs and increased development costs, primarily in connection with our growth activities in the UK & Crown Dependencies. Looking at contributions by region, our business in the UK & Crown Dependencies contributed 50% of the revenue and 68% of the pre-tax net income earned in this division for the three-month period. First quarter revenue of $107.5 million increased by 4% compared to the same period last year and is a new quarterly record for this business. The adjusted pre-tax net income contribution from this business amounted to $23 million, which was 15% lower than the same period a year ago in connection with our previously mentioned investments in growth. For the three-month period, normalized EBITDA was approximately £19 million. We have had an excellent experience integrating the team from Intelligent Capital and we're on track to complete our previously announced acquisition of Cantab Asset Management within the next three months, subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Our North American wealth business generated $90 million in fiscal first quarter revenue, which increased by 24% compared to the same period a year ago and primarily reflects a 23% increase in commission and fee revenue as market participation levels have increased. We continue to emphasize the growth of fee generating account types in this business. For the first quarter, fee-based revenue was 48% but down modestly compared to Q4, given the uptick in transactional revenue. Notably, revenue from corporate financing activities increased by 37% year-over-year and 72% sequentially to $7.5 million. While this amount remains below historical levels, it points to an encouraging trend of improving confidence. Interest revenue continues to be substantial, representing 18% of total revenue in this business. As interest rates begin to decline, we would expect the associated decrease in interest revenue to be more than offset by higher transaction revenue as lower borrowing costs are generally positive for activities in our trading, ECM, advisory and securities lending segments. Client assets of $38 billion were marginally lower than the record set in the prior quarter. Notably, our average practice size reached a new record of $270 million and continues to be amongst the largest in the Canadian wealth management industry. And finally, we continue to experience solid momentum in our Australian Wealth business, which generated its strongest quarterly revenue of $18 million, an increase of 8% sequentially and 21% year-over-year. Managed client assets improved by 23% year-over-year to $6.6 billion, a new high for this business. Excluding significant items, this business contributed pre-tax net income of $1.2 million. While improving, net income continues to be impacted by our planned investments to support growth in this business. I will also note that we added four new investment advisors in the region in this quarter. The momentum we are experiencing in all our wealth businesses is helping us to attract a solid pipeline of talented prospects. Turning to the performance of our capital markets division, which had the most notable revenue improvement in the quarter. On a consolidated basis, revenue of $206 million for the three-month period was in line with the prior quarter, an increased by 41% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher corporate financing and advisory revenues. Our advisory and corporate finance segments both benefited from an improved backdrop for mid-market activities. We are also experiencing remarkable cross-border collaboration that is not only achieving positive outcomes for our clients, but also reinforcing our market position within our selected verticals. Revenue from corporate finance activity improved by 121% year-over-year to $65 million, reflecting increased contributions from each of our geographies. The most substantial contribution in this segment were Canada and Australia, which reported year-over-year increases of 235% and 99% respectively. While the mining sector continues to be our most active, comprising 47% of revenue in the segment, we are pleased to see a modest improvement in activity levels in our other core focus sectors. While it is still early days, we've been pleased to see the beginning of a rotation away from U.S. mega-cap stocks into broad markets, which includes smaller cap growth companies. We are ranked among the league table leaders in each of our geographies and notably ranked second in Canada for transaction volume and proceeds raised for the fiscal quarter. This performance highlights our team's agility in adapting to changes in the market environment and their steadfast dedication to helping our clients achieve their goals. Advisory fees also improved notably to $67 million for the three-month period, which reflects an improvement of 66% compared to the same period last year, but was still slightly lower than Q4, where we also benefited from a substantial transaction in the technology sector. Our U.S. business continues to be the largest contributor in this segment and first quarter revenue improved by 78% year-over-year and 84% sequentially to $45 million. The technology sector was the most productive, accounting for 70% of our advisory business globally. Principal trading and commission and fee activity remained relatively strong but revenue in both segments declined when compared to the prior fiscal quarter, reflecting seasonal declines. Excluding significant items, the pre-tax net income contribution from this division amounted to $13 million, a substantial improvement from both the prior quarter and years comparison periods. Each of our geographies contributed positively, except for our U.S. business, which reported a small loss, primarily reflecting increased G&A expenses in connection with our upcoming Global Growth Conference and the aforementioned investments in our compliance infrastructure. In closing, while we are encouraged by indications that we are on a path toward more normalized economic conditions relevant to our core businesses, we expect bouts of volatility from quarter to quarter given the ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic overhangs. With interest rates poised for further declines, we expect improved corporate finance and M&A activities and improved risk appetite, which bodes well for client engagement in both our wealth and capital markets businesses. Regardless of the backdrop, we are continuing to execute against our long-term strategy and remain focused on operating in the best interest of our clients and fellow shareholders. With that, Don and I will be pleased to take your questions. Operator, can you please open the lines?
接线员:[接线员说明]您的第一个问题来自科马克证券公司的杰夫·芬威克。您的电话现在接通了。
Jeff Fenwick:大家早上好。
丹·达维奥:早上好,杰夫。
Jeff Fenwick: Dan,我想从财富管理开始。你强调整个季度的开发成本都在上升。我认为这是加拿大和英国的一个因素,你能告诉我们这些因素都包括什么吗?我倾向于从业务发展和招聘的角度来考虑,但是哪些项目会被包含在费用中呢?
丹·达维奥:我让唐来解释一下。
唐·麦克法登:嗨,杰夫。这是堂。一般来说,它会关注与新员工相关的成本,以及系统开发的平台成本,诸如此类的事情。
杰夫:好的。我想这可能是在一些团队加入之前。你喊出这个被提升,然后它就消失了。所以这与一些新加入平台的人有关?
Dan Daviau:是的,我认为新用户和留存率同样重要。这两件事都属于这个范畴。所以,是的,我们看到了——你看到了这个季度这个项目的大幅增长——它将比去年更高,因为我们继续积极招聘,但这种提升水平不会保持下去。唐提出的另一点是我们财富业务的系统成本和开发成本。我们正在建立许多系统,并聘请了一些顾问,以确保有机增长继续向前推进。其中很多都是在本季度支出的。这一行项目不会保持在高水平。
杰夫·芬维克:谢谢。在招聘方面,我想我们在加拿大财富管理领域已经有一段时间没有看到太多的活动了。队伍人数下降了一点。我不确定这是离职,还是只是顾问群体之间的一些整合。但是,也许你可以谈谈那里的机会管道,以及你对它的关注程度,而不是你提到的有机倡议?
丹·达维奥:是的,当然。减少的团队数量是整合,而不是离开的顾问。我们合并了几个团队。是的,管道是凹凸不平的。记住,我们已经雇佣了60多名顾问,带来了超过200亿美元的资产。我们的步调还是一样的。从季度到季度,你会看到一些波动,但我们乐观地认为,我们将继续保持与过去相同的招聘速度。这个夏天我们就有了一个很好的管道。没有人来,但我怀疑,如果一切按计划进行,秋天情况会有所改变。如果你能听到我敲木头的声音,我现在就在敲木头了。那是在加拿大市场。在英国市场,我们已经开始招聘。我们请来了一些前台的专业人员。显然,在英国,这些资产流入我们的业绩需要更长的时间,因为账目的转换需要更长的时间。我们也在澳大利亚积极招聘。我们请来了许多顾问。正如我上次提到的,我们在阿德莱德开设了一个办事处。我们刚在悉尼请来了两位新顾问。同样,我们也有一批非常积极的顾问加入我们的市场。因此,从声誉上讲,我们把公司放在一个顾问们非常舒适的地方,在这里度过他们职业生涯中最富有成效的岁月。所以我们不会改变我们的观点,关于我们在招募前线能做些什么。
杰夫:好的。谢谢。然后,在英国,薪酬成本占收入的百分比似乎有所上升。也许这就是你提到的在资产加入之前引入人员的部分原因?
唐·麦克法登:有一点,但大部分都是通过该部门进行的基于股票的薪酬变动。但是有一点雇佣是为了。
丹·达维奥:是的,收购会带来一些噪音。在本季度开始时,格拉斯哥发生了一起小型枪击案。
杰夫:好的。谢谢。
丹·达维奥:只是一些噪音。
杰夫·芬威克:也许在资本市场业务中还有一个。在美国,有一个关于你的G&A的问题。我只是想知道,是否有一些项目在整个财政年度都处于前端负载状态,导致第一季度的成本上升。当我一年比一年看的时候,这个数字是持平的,接近1100万美元,但这是两倍多的序列。所以我只是试着感受一下吗?
丹·达维奥:是的,我想唐暗示了这一点。我当然提到过。比如我们的非补偿成本上升了。只是没有我们第一季度的表现好。你已经问了关于开发线的问题,我们看到它正在下降。但我们看到还有另一条线,因为有一些前端加载成本。就像周一,我将在波士顿参加我们的大型全球增长会议,今年早些时候,而不是今年晚些时候,会有一些费用方面的影响。这是一个有成千上万人参加的大型会议。所以在那个季度有一些前端的T&E和G&A,这是不幸的,因为我们的收入和利润都很强劲。
唐·麦克法登:如果你看看我们的历史利润率,我们本季度的收益也应该更强劲。同样,相当多的成本不是一次性的,因为我们调整了它们,而是季度内不可重复的成本。
Jeff Fenwick:是的,这是有用的颜色。谢谢你!我会re-queue。
丹·达维奥:谢谢,杰夫。好问题。
接线员:下一个问题来自雷蒙德·詹姆斯的斯蒂芬·博兰。您的电话现在接通了。
Stephen Boland:是的,早上好。你能不能谈谈,我想,我不确定这是不是新的披露。如果这是上个季度提出的,我很抱歉。但我猜你已经确定了美国的贸易条款。我猜你认为这是美国的贸易运作,你必须设置条款,压力可能会上升。你能详细说一下吗?
唐·麦克法登:是的,细节是一个难题。但是,是的,我们将继续积极地与监管机构接触。我想大家都知道是美国监管机构干的。我们做准备的时候总会报告的。我们在美国业务的补充财务报表中作出了拨备。我一直在积极地谈论这件事,说这是我们在美国的做市业务,我们的批发业务。所以,我们继续积极地与他们接触,试图提出一个潜在的解决方案。我们实际上没有任何实质性的更新,但我们认为我们应该提供更清晰的信息。我们希望在接下来的几个季度能够做到这一点。正如我们之前讨论过的,你也看到了我们成本线的上升,我们继续在财务上进行大量的额外投资。而且从整个公司的合规基础设施的流程角度来看。这包括美国正在审查的事项。听着,我们这里有非常强大的合规文化,这仍然非常重要。这不仅是在美国,在全球都是如此。所以我认为,从合规的角度来看,你是在做生意,做生意越来越难,我们当然在投资我们需要的东西,以保持合规。
斯蒂芬·博兰:如果你再投入5千万、1千万、1千5百万、2千万,现在决定多少会不会有点早?
唐·麦克法登:是的,是的。再说一遍,如果我们能决定,我们就会决定。但是关于最终的解决方案有太多的不确定性。如果可以的话,我很想给你更清楚的解释,但我甚至不能推测一个范围。
Stephen Boland:是的。也许只是继续,继续杰夫关于美国资本市场的问题,我的意思是,收入,连续上升,但这个部门在过去的几年里趋于挣扎,或者至少在过去的六七个季度里。收入似乎增加了,但盈利能力却没有。除此之外,有没有办法让收入达到1亿美元,这似乎是盈利的门槛,有没有什么办法能让这个部门盈利?
唐·麦克法登:是的,正如你所说,无论是在新股发行方面还是在并购方面,收入都有所上升。收入增加了,我们的盈利能力也提高了,但与过去相比还是差得远。所以,部分原因是成本问题,这就是我们一直在谈论的一些增加的投资。但最终,是的,我们正在寻找各种方法,以简化业务,创造更一致的盈利水平。请记住,没有人喜欢谈论大流行。这是一家税前净收入为1.5亿美元的公司。它资助了我们所有的股票回购和我们所做的一切。所以,这是一个资本市场业务,所以你会看到一些波动。但即使在疫情爆发前和我们进行的一些收购之前,这项业务每年的税前净收入也达到了2000万、3000万、4000万美元。所以,是的,我们有几个季度的亏损,包括本季度的边际亏损,但我们都很有信心,我们最终会得到这项业务,也许不会达到1.5亿美元的盈利水平,但肯定会持续盈利。
Stephen Boland:好的。我想我的最后一个问题,丹,我总是问你这个问题,但乐观地说,你的评论,似乎又一次,可能会有一个从大盘股转向中端市场的转变,这肯定会对你的企业有利。这是您对今年下半年的预期吗?在接下来的18个月里,情况会继续改善吗?
丹·达维奥:是的。我的意思是,我们在并购业务上一直都有合理的可见度。所以,我们认为这是相对一致的。显然,随着利率下降和信贷市场继续开放。我们相信,在短期内,我们会看到并购活动增加。显然,这些收入需要一段时间才能在我们的财务报表上体现出来。这很容易预测。我们都知道,很难预测的是新发行的收入。特别是这个季度,我们目前所处的季度是最难预测新发行收入的季度,因为很多新发行都发生在这个季度的后期,也就是9月份。它并不像你知道的那样经常发生在7月和8月。因此,我很难给出本季度的指引,但总的来说,在接下来的几个季度里,我们看到从采矿业向更广泛的行业的长期转移。我们看到从大型股向一些中型股和小型股的长期转移,我们倾向于做得更好。我认为我们离IPO市场还有一段路要走,而且在IPO市场走强的情况下,我们的表现也会相对更好。我认为我们离那个有点远。然后,取决于你想听谁的,这可能是几个季度之外。所以,我认为我们当然是在一条上升的线上,但我认为现在只是一条反弹的线。没有比这更好的指导了,史蒂夫。
Stephen Boland:好的,感谢你的观点。非常感谢大家。
丹·达维奥:谢谢。
接线员:下一个问题来自道明证券公司的格雷厄姆·赖丁。您的电话现在接通了。
丹·达维奥:你好,格雷厄姆。
Graham Ryding:早上好。只是我送的几张。在加拿大财富方面,AUA,我认为,季度环比和同比持平,可能增长已经放缓。有没有什么人离开或者什么特别的事情,比如客户外流,有没有什么事情拖累了加拿大财富方面的增长?
丹·达维奥:没有离开。本季度新增资产净增长边际。没有外流,没有招聘。所以,这是一个相当平淡的季度。这是坏消息。好消息是,提高我们的收入和收费收入的比例,提高可自由支配资产的比例,提高每位顾问的账面价值,这些都是很好的盈利指标。再说一次,与英国和我们的其他财富业务类似,我们投资于增长。我们正在投入资金,这样我们就可以继续有机地发展业务。我们正在进行一些项目来支持这一增长努力。因此,除了创纪录的招聘增长外,我们正在做的事情将促进新资产的净增长。正如我在上个电话中所说的,格雷厄姆,下个季度,我相信我们将开始披露我们需要披露的一切,这是为了在我们所有的财富业务中提高可见度。以及他们是如何增长的,或者他们在这个特定的季度,从资产的角度来看是如何没有增长的。在全球范围内,我们确实创造了另一个记录——资产。所以,事情总体上是朝着正确的方向发展的,尽管夏季总是一个很难显示出显著增长的时期。
Graham Ryding:好的。我唯一的另一个问题是,现金收入一直是美国财富领域的头条新闻。您能给我们提供一些背景信息,或者说明一下您的加拿大和英国财富业务的客户现金利息收入有多重要吗?是否还有其他项目可能也对收入线有贡献?
丹·达维奥:是的,在我们的补充财务报表中,我们披露了我们的利息收入,我知道你知道。所以,我会让唐回答这个问题,然后我会拿出你的数据。
唐·麦克法登:我认为在加拿大,我们确实有一个活跃的保证金账户。因此,保证金贷款可能是加拿大利息收入的最大贡献者。客户现金当然是一个组成部分,但保证金贷款,这就是为什么它改变了。它与市场利率挂钩,与优惠利率挂钩等等。
丹·达维奥:在英国,我们的现金收入,你指的是,这是一个相对稳定的数字。当利率下降时,它们会相互抵消。假设加拿大的保证金贷款收入减少了,因为利率下降了。这往往会被新发行收入的增加所抵消,尽管新发行收入在本季度有所改善,但仍远低于历史水平。
Graham Ryding:好的。理解。我就说这么多。谢谢你!
丹·达维奥:谢谢。
接线员:现在没有其他问题了。现在请达维奥先生作总结发言。
丹·达维奥:好的。好的,谢谢你,接线员。感谢今天在座的各位。这当然是我们第一季度财政电话会议的结束。和往常一样,唐和我愿意回答大家的问题。我们的年度股东大会将于今天上午10点举行。如果你选择加入,它就是虚拟的。欢迎您的参与。访问详情已在信息通告中提供,也在我们的网站上。我们的波士顿增长会议下周举行。我们对此非常兴奋。像往常一样,出席人数众多,并为由此带来的机会感到兴奋。操作员,你现在可以关闭线路了。再次感谢大家。
接线员:女士们,先生们,电话会议到此结束。谢谢你的参与。请拔掉电话线。
