CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
I am pleased to report a much increased operating profit for the continuing business of £1.2m (2012: £0.6m). As I reported last year, the board implemented a turn-around strategy to reinvigorate our business based on three key principles: to exit our loss-making US business; to diversify revenue generation; and to manage cost appropriately while strengthening our client franchise.
As demonstrated by the increasing profitability of our business, this strategy is being well-executed and it is achieving its goals. Panmure Gordon is now focused on its core business of providing outstanding equity capital markets advice to our UK-listed corporate clients, and those seeking a London listing, as well as execution services to our institutional clients founded on insightful, actionable research.
While modest, our statutory profit of £0.2m (2012: loss of £3.5m) reflects the further diminution of the impact of our former US business and the increasing strength of our core revenue-generating activities. We believe it is an indication of the Company’s ability to take advantage of the continued recovery in the UK capital markets from the challenging conditions of recent years.
The increase in the continuing business operating profit has its roots in our extensive, and still growing, corporate client list which at year-end totalled 130 (2012: 96), and markets which were more receptive to sensible, well-priced transactions. The board has been very pleased with the growth of the firm’s corporate client list and the number and variety of transactions on which Panmure Gordon worked during the year.
In addition to stabilising and strengthening our business, our turn-around strategy is laying the foundations of a future return to the dividend list. At last year’s annual general meeting, shareholders voted in favour of the share capital reorganisation which was an important first step.
Given our recent trading performance and balance sheet strength, the board believes the time is right to recommend to shareholders a share capital reduction. Due to losses incurred in previous years, an accumulated deficit – or negative retained earnings – is held in the Company’s profit and loss account. If approved by shareholders, the Company will apply to Court for an Order to cancel the deferred shares, which have no voting rights, and the share premium account. Subject to Court approval, the reduction will create distributable reserves and put the Company in a position to pay a dividend in the future when trading conditions and profits allow.
During the year, I and my fellow board directors bid farewell to Shahzad Shabaz as a non-executive director. We were then delighted to welcome his QInvest colleague, Michael Katounas, to the board. Michael is Deputy CEO at QInvest and brings significant investment banking experience to the board.
Panmure Gordon’s reputation for integrity is built on its exceptional client-centric culture. This culture is embodied in Panmure Gordon’s employees and on behalf of the board I thank them for all their efforts in 2013, especially in supporting our clients in both good and challenging times. Our improved results in 2013 are a testament to their success.

Chief Executive’s review
This year it is pleasing to report continued strong progress across the business: increased operating profit of £1.15m (2012: £0.57m), driven by a 29% increase in net commission and fee income to £27.32m (2012: £21.22m), our first statutory profit since 2007 of £0.21m (2012: loss of £3.52m), a strong and growing corporate client list with 130 clients at year-end (2012: 96), and appropriately aligned costs.
Panmure Gordon is today significantly stronger than it was at the outset of our turn-around strategy in 2012. While the focus ought rightly to be on the significant improvement in Panmure Gordon’s operating profit in 2013, our first statutory profit since 2007 tells an important story: we have put behind us the effects of our former loss-making US business, which was exited in 2012.
The executive team is solely focused on further strengthening Panmure Gordon’s business. While global financial and political shocks have always, and will always, continue to challenge financial markets, our job is to take a long-term view and build a firm that is able to withstand those shocks. We have made significant progress since 2012 in doing so.
Panmure Gordon’s reputation for integrity helps us win and retain corporate clients – the lifeblood of our firm – and to attract talented people. A key part of our turn-around strategy and the building of a more robust Panmure Gordon has been to hire selectively across the firm to support our growth, diversify our earnings and drive our profitability. Our investment in these key hires is already flowing through to bottom-line profitability.
It has been especially pleasing to see the corporate client list grow extensively over the past two years: from 76 clients at the end of 2011 to 96 in 2012 and 130 at the end of this reporting period.
A significant driver of this growth was the hire in late 2012 of an integrated investment funds team to boost Panmure Gordon’s traditional strength in the sector and help diversify the firm’s earnings. Since its arrival, the team has attracted a large number of new clients to the firm. In the reporting period fund raisings on behalf of clients included the launch of the £135m Polar Capital Global Financials Trust and the £79m JP Morgan Senior Secured Loan Fund.
The firm and our clients benefited from markets which were more receptive to high quality transactions and this is reflected in a 49% uplift in corporate finance fee income to £18.10m (2012: £12.16m) and in the value of the transactions on which Panmure Gordon worked. In total this year, Panmure Gordon helped raise in excess of £1.46bn for its clients (2012: £373m) across 11 IPOs and 20 fundraisings and was recognised as Small Cap Adviser of the Year at the Small Cap Awards 2013.
Panmure Gordon’s corporate client mix continues to reflect the depth and breadth of our corporate finance and industry sector experience. We have grown both our AIM and main market corporate client lists to 63 (2012: 52) and 66 (2012: 42) respectively.
Panmure Gordon’s securities business, comprising institutional equity sales & trading and market making, as well as thought-leading equity research, is essential to our client service offering.
Since the global financial crisis, equity markets have been highly volatile and, in a very competitive market place, our clients quite rightly demand the best possible research and execution services. In the third quarter, we hired the firm’s first Head of Securities to lead the development and co-ordination of our securities team, as well as a new Head of Trading.
Reflecting 2013 performance, Panmure Gordon was recently named as the top mid-sized brokerage firm for having the best overall idea performance at the annual European TIM Ideas Top Performer Awards. The awards identify and quantify the best performing equity sales people and their brokerage firms based on outperformance, or alpha, of their ideas. The awards are the only quantitative rankings of their kind and, additionally, recognised one of our senior sales people in Europe’s Top 10 for best overall idea performance.
While equity capital markets have been receptive to the many transactions on which the firm worked this year, the continued lack of volume in equity markets as well as volatile trading conditions saw only a modest 8% increase in net commission and trading income to £9.80m (2012: £9.07m).
Our institutional relationships are much valued by the firm and, with hard work and strategic thinking, working with our counterparts and affiliates in Qatar, Switzerland, Singapore, the US and India, we are well-placed to continue building this revenue stream and executing superbly for our corporate and institutional clients.
Our research department is frequently the public face of the business. Regarded as key influencers, our analysts’ expert view on companies and industries is regularly sought by both media and corporate leaders. Our analysts are also often instrumental in helping the firm win new corporate clients and then helping those clients remain in the eye of the investment community.
Given their output, it is always pleasing to see our analysts recognised externally in the prestigious Thomson Reuters Extel and StarMine Awards.
Extel awards are based on votes received by institutional clients and this year Panmure was recognised as a Top 3 house across four sectors in the Mid & Small Cap awards.
StarMine examines stock picking and earnings estimation ability. Three analysts were recognised as Top 3 for stock picking ability in two sectors: media and consumer & business services, and two analysts were recognised as Top 3 for earnings estimation in two sectors: transportation and insurance. In addition, our technology analyst was recognised as Small Cap Analyst of the Year at the Small Cap Awards 2013.
Dividend
The board has not recommended a dividend for the year. However, as noted in the Chairman’s statement, a share capital reduction is being planned which would put the Company in a position to pay a dividend in future when trading conditions and profits allow.
Outlook
We have continued to build upon the turn-around of 2012 and these results reflect the strength of our core business. We remain firmly focused on serving our corporate and institutional clients and aligning our resources to revenue opportunities.
As 2014 has commenced, we have continued to grow our corporate client list and win further transaction mandates. For the short to medium term, equity capital markets are expected to be receptive to high quality, sensibly priced transactions. With the support of our major shareholder, QInvest, Panmure Gordon is well-positioned to build on this momentum.

1 Segmental analysis
The Group reports its operating segments according to how the Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources to each segment and assesses performance. In this respect the Group’s CODM has been defined as the Group’s CEO.
In previous years the CODM has allocated resources across the Group based on results and performance in each geographic area of operation. Following the disposal of the Group’s US business during 2012, the geographical division is now made between the UK and Swiss operations only. In the segmental table below, the results of the Swiss office appear in the ‘Other’ column, together with the impact of the discontinued US operation.
The basis of segmentation in respect of assets and non-current assets has also changed as above. There are no regular major customers that account for more than 10% of revenue.

5 Discontinued operation
In June 2012 the Group completed the sale of its entire interest in ThinkEquity LLC to management. Following that, ThinkEquity LLC and its 100% shareholder, ThinkEquity Holdings LLC, filed for protection under chapter 7 of the US bankruptcy code on 6 November 2012. Subsequently, certain claims were asserted against Panmure Gordon for which provisions were taken in 2012. In 2013 claims were finally concluded which, in addition to the write-off of certain receivables from the administrator of the estate of ThinkEquity which are no longer believed to be recoverable, resulted in an additional charge of £0.6m to provisions all of which are due to be settled in 2014. It is not anticipated that any further material claims or costs associated with ThinkEquity not covered by provisions will develop in the future.
