COVID-19 ENVIRONMENT
In the first quarter of 2020, regional outbreaks of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) became a global pandemic of unprecedented proportion and impact. Social distancing mandates severely affected the global economy and unemployment increased significantly. Governments and central banks responded at an historic scale to support economies and capital markets.
We took swift action, transitioning employees to remote operations, escalating employee engagement through live and interactive forums, and providing resources for individuals to support their communities. Our investments in technology enabled our teams to adapt quickly, employing virtual and secure cloud-based systems to continue communicating, collaborating and conducting client business in this new environment.
The timing of a recovery is uncertain, but will be driven by the course of the pandemic and the efficacy of economic stimulus on the economy. We expect a challenging environment in the near-term from elevated uncertainty, capital markets volatility, lower asset valuations and a downturn in global M&A activity. We believe that our strong financial position, the diversity of our business, and our consistent focus on cost discipline will enable us to weather the economic downturn.

OPERATING EXPENSES
Compensation and Benefits
In managing compensation and benefits expense, we focus on annual awarded compensation (cash compensation and benefits plus deferred incentive compensation with respect to the applicable year, net of estimated future forfeitures and excluding charges). We believe annual awarded compensation reflects the actual annual compensation cost more accurately than the GAAP measure of compensation cost, which includes applicable-year cash compensation and the amortization of deferred incentive compensation principally attributable to previous years’ deferred compensation. We believe that by managing our business using awarded compensation with a consistent deferral policy, we can better manage our compensation costs, increase our flexibility in the future and build shareholder value over time.
For the first quarter of 2020, we accrued adjusted compensation and benefits expense1 at an adjusted compensation ratio of 60.0%, compared to the first-quarter 2019 ratio of 57.5%. This resulted in
We manage our compensation and benefits expense based on awarded compensation with a consistent deferral policy. We take a disciplined approach to compensation, and our goal is to maintain a compensation-to-operating revenue ratio over the cycle in the mid- to high-50s percentage range on both an awarded and adjusted basis, with consistent deferral policies.
Non-Compensation Expense
For the first quarter of 2020, adjusted non-compensation expense1 was
The ratio of adjusted non-compensation expense to operating revenue was 20.0% for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 18.7% for the first quarter of 2019.
Our goal remains to achieve a non-compensation expense-to-operating revenue ratio over the cycle of 16% to 20%.
TAXES

This press release contains forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may”, “might”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “target,” “goal”, or “continue”, and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies, business plans and initiatives and anticipated trends in our business. These forward-looking statements, including with respect to the current COVID-19 pandemic, are only predictions 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 by these forward-looking statements.
These factors include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item 1A “Risk Factors,” and also discussed from time to time in our reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, including the following:
- A decline in general economic conditions or the global or regional financial markets;
- A decline in our revenues, for example due to a decline in overall mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity, our share of the M&A market or our assets under management (AUM);
- Losses caused by financial or other problems experienced by third parties;
- Losses due to unidentified or unanticipated risks;
- A lack of liquidity, i.e., ready access to funds, for use in our businesses; and
- Competitive pressure on our businesses and on our ability to retain and attract employees at current compensation levels.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this release to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations and we do not intend to do so.
