Compensation expenses were $423 million for the second quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared with $361 million for the second quarter ended September 30, 2024. This resulted in a compensation ratio of 64.2% for the second quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared with 62.7% for the second quarter ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted compensation expenses were $406 million for the second quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared with $354 million for the second quarter ended September 30, 2024. This resulted in an adjusted compensation ratio of 61.5% for both the second quarter ended September 30, 2025 and the second quarter ended September 30, 2024. The increase in GAAP and adjusted compensation expenses was a result of an increase in revenues for the quarter when compared with the same quarter last year.
Non-compensation expenses were relatively flat at $85 million for the second quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared with $84 million for the second quarter ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted non-compensation expenses were relatively flat at $82 million for the second quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared with $81 million for the second quarter ended September 30, 2024.
The provision for income taxes was $48 million, representing an effective tax rate of 30.2% for the second quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared with $43 million, representing an effective tax rate of 31.3% for the second quarter ended September 30, 2024. The adjusted provision for income taxes was $54 million, representing an adjusted effective tax rate of 29.7% for the second quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared with $46 million, representing an adjusted effective tax rate of 31.3% for the second quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Segment Reporting for the Second Fiscal Quarter
Corporate Finance
CF revenues were $439 million for the second quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared with $364 million for the second quarter ended September 30, 2024, representing an increase of 21%. Revenues increased due to an increase in the number of closed transactions during the quarter, which was driven by favorable market conditions for M&A and Capital Solutions. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average transaction fee on closed transactions, which was driven by transaction mix and does not represent a trend in the average fee on closed transactions.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. You can identify these statements by our use of the words “assumes,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “guidance,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” and similar expressions that do not relate to historical matters. You should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and could materially affect actual results, performance, or achievements. For a further description of such factors, you should read the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income, total and on a per share basis, and certain adjusted items used to determine adjusted net income, are presented and discussed in this earnings press release and are non-GAAP measures that management believes, when presented together with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors in understanding the Company’s operating results. The adjusted items included in this earnings press release as calculated by the Company are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Additionally, these adjusted amounts are not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the Company’s financial information determined under GAAP. For a description of the Company’s use of these adjusted items and a reconciliation with comparable GAAP items, see the section of this press release titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Financial Information.” Please refer to our financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
