U.S. equities markets increased 3.3% during the fourth quarter of 2016 fueled by optimism from the results of the presidential election. The rally was bolstered by expectations of cuts in individual and corporate tax rates, reduced regulatory requirements, higher inflation, and increased spending on infrastructure. After the election, the U.S. dollar also strengthened significantly against other major global currencies. The election accelerated the rise in bond yields due to expectations of higher inflation around the anticipated economic agenda of a new administration. This coupled with the Federal Reserve's decision to raise short-term interest rates by 25 basis points in December led to the 10-Year Treasury yielding 2.45% at the end of the year. Upcoming elections in Europe and the stronger U.S. dollar propelled economic reports coming from Europe and led to strong equity markets in Europe and Asia as well as higher interest rates.

Albert G. Lowenthal, Chairman and CEO commented, "We are disappointed with our performance during 2016 and are taking the steps necessary to improve our results in the future. We are increasing our efforts in areas that we believe will restore a growth in revenues which largely depend upon more effective recruiting of experienced personnel in our private client and investment banking divisions. In the quarter just ended, despite the post-election run-up in the equity markets, retail and institutional investor activity picked up for a short period immediately after the election but then remained somewhat muted during the remainder of the period reflecting a continued period of lower transaction activity from investors. The equities underwriting business was impacted by the low level of issuance as fewer companies accessed the capital markets. The Company was able to execute on large mandates in its debt capital markets and mergers and acquisition businesses which helped make up for the slower equities underwriting calendar. Client preference for fee-based relationships continued as reflected in higher assets under management which led to an increase in advisory fees during the fourth quarter of 2016. Fees earned from our cash sweep program were up substantially during the period due to the higher interest rate environment. If rates continue to move higher, as is widely expected, this should also bode well for other interest sensitive products that the Company offers. We are pleased to see our legal and regulatory costs decline for the period. We are hopeful that this trend will continue as we begin to see the benefits of the increased compliance and regulatory infrastructure that we have built, which includes increased and improved staffing, better processes, and new technology applications to oversee and control our business in light of the changing regulatory landscape."

FOURTH QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

Private Client

Private Client reported revenue of $127.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, 1.6% higher than the fourth quarter of 2015, due to higher fees earned on the FDIC-insured bank deposit program during the fourth quarter of 2016. Income before income taxes was $15.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of 9.5% compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 due to lower deferred compensation and legal and regulatory costs partially offset by higher share-based compensation during the fourth quarter of 2016.




    --  Client assets under administration were $77.2 billion at December 31,
        2016 compared with $78.7 billion at December 31, 2015, a decrease of

    --  Financial adviser headcount was 1,158 at the end of the fourth quarter
        of 2016, down from 1,233 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015. The
        reduction primarily reflects the Company's ongoing review of financial
        adviser productivity, conduct, and client service.

        decrease of 5.9% from the fourth quarter of 2015.

        program were $10.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 versus $3.9
        million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase primarily was due
        to higher short-term interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Asset Management

Asset Management reported revenue of $23.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, 1.7% higher than the fourth quarter of 2015 due to increases in advisory fees on traditional managed products. Income before income taxes was $9.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of 3.3% compared with the fourth quarter of 2015.




    --  Advisory fee revenue on traditional and alternative managed products was
        $23.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of 3.6% from
        the fourth quarter of 2015. Advisory fees are calculated based on the
        value of client assets under management ("AUM") at the end of the prior
        quarter which totaled $24.6 billion at September 30, 2016 ($23.7 billion
        at September 30, 2015) and are allocated between the Private Client and
        Asset Management business segments.
    --  AUM increased 2.9% to $24.8 billion at December 31, 2016, compared with
        $24.1 billion at December 31, 2015, which is the basis for advisory fee
        billings for the first quarter of 2017. The increase in AUM was
        comprised of asset appreciation of $0.9 billion and net redemption of
        assets of $0.2 billion.

Capital Markets

Capital Markets reported revenue of $67.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, 12.5% lower than the fourth quarter of 2015 due to lower institutional commissions, fees from equities underwriting transactions, and fees from mergers and acquisitions activity partially offset by higher fees from debt capital market transactions during the fourth quarter of 2016. Loss before income taxes was $13.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of 336.4% compared with a loss before income taxes of $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.




    --  Institutional equities commissions decreased 15.5% to $25.7 million for
        the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth quarter of 2015.


    --  Advisory fees earned from investment banking activities decreased 20.7%
        to $15.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth
        quarter of 2015 due to a decrease in mergers and acquisitions activity
        during the fourth quarter of 2016.


    --  Equities underwriting fees decreased 63.4% to $1.9 million for the
        fourth quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 due to
        lower capital raising activity during the fourth quarter of 2016.


    --  Revenue from Taxable Fixed Income increased 23.3% to $20.2 million for
        the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 due
        to increased debt capital markets activity.
    --  Public Finance and Municipal Trading revenue decreased 46.8% to $3.0
        million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth quarter
        of 2015 due to lower trading profits in municipal bonds.

Compensation and Related Expenses

Compensation and related expenses (including salaries, production and incentive compensation, share-based compensation, deferred compensation, and other benefit-related items) totaled $152.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of 3.0% compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease was due to lower salaries, production, incentive, and deferred compensation expenses partially offset by higher share-based compensation expenses during the fourth quarter of 2016. Compensation and related expenses as a percentage of revenue was 69.5% during the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with 69.7% during the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting the inelasticity of some forms of compensation spread over a lower revenue base for the fourth quarter of 2016.

Non-Compensation Expenses

Non-compensation expenses were $74.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of 1.9% compared with $72.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 due primarily to higher communications and technology expenses offset by lower legal and regulatory costs during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 67.7% (benefit) compared with 15.6% (benefit) for the fourth quarter of 2015. The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2016 was positively impacted by income tax provision to tax return true-ups and higher nontaxable benefits received with respect to company owned life insurance. The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2015 was negatively impacted by increases in provisions related to positions taken on state income tax returns as well as income tax provision to tax return true-ups that were recorded during the year.

        year ended December 31, 2016 versus $12.3 million for the year ended
        December 31, 2015 due to higher short-term interest as well as to the
        discontinued offering of retail money market funds to clients and the
        transfer of these balances into the FDIC-insured bank deposit program
        during the second quarter of 2015. There were no money market fee

Compensation and related expenses (including salaries, production and incentive compensation, share-based compensation, deferred compensation, and other benefit-related items) totaled $584.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of 4.3% compared with the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease was due to lower salaries, production and incentive compensation expenses partially offset by higher share-based and deferred compensation expenses during the year ended December 31, 2016. Compensation and related expenses as a percentage of revenue was 68.2% during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared with 68.0% during the year ended December 31, 2015, reflecting the inelasticity of some forms of compensation spread over a lower revenue base for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Non-Compensation Expenses

Non-compensation expenses were $295.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of 1.9% compared with $289.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 due primarily to elevated legal and compliance costs and increased communications and technology expenses during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 56.0% (benefit) compared with 16.7% for the year ended December 31, 2015. The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2016 was positively impacted by income tax provision to tax return true-ups and higher nontaxable benefits received with respect to company owned life insurance partially offset by the valuation allowance established on deferred tax assets related to net operating losses of a foreign subsidiary. The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2015 was negatively impacted by increases in provisions related to positions taken on state income tax returns as well as income tax provision to tax return true-ups that were recorded during the year.

Discontinued Operations

During the second and third quarter of 2016, the Company substantially completed the wind down of its Oppenheimer Multifamily Housing and Healthcare Finance Inc. ("OMHHF") subsidiary. The following table is a summary of revenue and expenses from discontinued operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively:
