Cohen & Co. reports Q3 adjusted EPS ($1.52) vs. 41c last year

Reports Q3 revenue $17.1M vs. $23.5M last year. Lester Brafman, Chief Executive Officer of Cohen & Company, said, “Our results were mixed during the third quarter, driven by stronger new issue and advisory revenue and weaker principal transactions revenue. Of the $7.2 million new issue and advisory revenue, $6.0 million was generated by the Cohen & Company Capital Markets investment banking team and $1.2 million was generated by the European origination team. Our principal transactions revenue was negatively affected by the $6.8 million write-off of our investment in Stoa USA Inc. / FlipOS, a property technology company, which was impacted by the changing US housing market. We are optimistic about the future and hope to see more realization of our deal pipeline in the near term, and remain focused on enhancing stockholder value including through continued payment of our quarterly dividend.”
