Highlights
-- GAAP total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $222.0 million compared with $185.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 19.6% that was largely attributable to the July 2010 acquisition of the Kyte Group ("Kyte"). On a non-GAAP basis, total revenues increased 17.9% to $217.1 million from $184.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. -- Beginning with this release GFI will report "net revenues," defined as total revenues net of certain direct incremental costs associated with those revenues, such as interest and transaction-based expenses. Included in transaction-based expenses are clearing fees, which were formerly part of the non-compensation expense category. This presentation is in line with comparable peer company practice related to clearing services. GAAP net revenues were $196.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of 9.9% from $178.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, net revenues increased 8.0% to $191.3 million from $177.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. -- Brokerage revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 were up 4.9% to $176.8 million compared with $168.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. -- Compensation and employee benefits expense in the fourth quarter of 2010 was 70.9% of net revenues on a GAAP basis and 71.9% on a non-GAAP basis. This compares with 87.4% of net revenues on a GAAP basis and 70.8% of net revenues on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2009. -- Non-compensation expenses were 28.7% of net revenues on a GAAP basis and 27.3% on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2010. This compares with 26.9% of net revenues on a GAAP basis and 25.9% on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2009. -- Net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $4.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $14.5 million, or a $0.12 net loss per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $3.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with non-GAAP net income of $4.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009. -- For the full year 2010, GAAP total revenues were $862.1 million compared with $818.7 million for 2009. GAAP net revenues were $794.6 million for full year 2010 compared to $788.4 million in 2009. GAAP net income for 2010 was $25.6 million or $0.20 per diluted share compared to $16.3 million or $0.13 per diluted share for 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, total revenues for full year 2010 were $861.1 million compared with $814.4 million in 2009, while net revenue was $793.5 million for full year compared with $784.0 million for 2009. Net income was $33.6 million or $0.27 per diluted share for full year 2010 on a non-GAAP basis, compared with $39.0 million or $0.32 per diluted share for 2009 on a non-GAAP basis. Michael Gooch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GFI, commented: "Our brokerage revenues for the fourth quarter grew by almost 5% and net revenues grew by 9.9% on a GAAP basis and 8% on a non-GAAP basis over the fourth quarter of 2009. Growth in financial and commodity product revenues was partially offset by lower revenues from cash fixed income and equity products.
"During the quarter, we continued to selectively hire and invest in trading technologies as we position GFI to be a significant participant in the new regulatory world for financial services. Over the past several quarters, we implemented matching technology on various fixed income and financial product desks globally and added significant functionality to our EnergyMatch® platforms in the U.S. and Europe. Additionally, we added new products and functionality to our leading Trayport® and Fenics® product suites. Although this investment was a drag on our bottom line in the latter half of 2010, we believe that the solid traction of GFI's proprietary trading technologies, matching sessions and request for quote systems, among other areas will be reflected in future operating results. Our strategy continues to focus on deploying technology and selectively recruiting brokerage staff to enhance market position and gain market share.
"We remain actively engaged with regulators in the U.S. and Europe on the implementation of new regulations for over-the-counter derivative markets. We are confident that GFI will successfully register with the SEC and CFTC as a swap execution facility or 'SEF' and provide institutional market participants with access to GFI's deep liquidity, market expertise and outstanding trading technology.
"Looking at our preliminary results through mid-February, excluding Kyte, brokerage revenues are tracking down approximately 3.5% compared with prior year results through the same period."
Mr. Gooch concluded: "We are pleased to declare a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share to our shareholders."

On a non-GAAP basis, total revenues and net revenues for the full year 2010 were $861.1 million and $793.5 million, respectively, compared to total revenues and net revenues of $814.4 million and $784.0 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net income was $33.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared with net income of $39.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for 2009.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement GFI's unaudited financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by GFI include non-GAAP total revenues, non-GAAP net revenues, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures currently exclude amortization of acquired intangibles and certain other items that management views as non-operating or non-recurring from the Company's statement of income as detailed in the reconciliation included in the financial tables attached to this release.
In addition, GFI may consider whether other significant non-operating or non-recurring items that arise in the future should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses. The non-GAAP financial measures also take into account income tax adjustments with respect to the excluded items.
GFI believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core business, operating results or future outlook. GFI's management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of the Company's performance to prior periods.
In addition to the reasons stated above, which are generally applicable to each of the items GFI excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude amortization of acquired intangibles because when analyzing the operating performance of an acquired business, GFI's management focuses on the total return provided by the investment (i.e., operating profit generated from the acquired entity as compared to the purchase price paid) without taking into consideration any charges for allocations made for accounting purposes. Further, because the purchase price for an acquisition necessarily reflects the accounting value assigned to intangible assets, when analyzing the operating performance of an acquisition in subsequent periods, the Company's management excludes the GAAP impact of acquired intangible assets on its financial results. GFI believes that such an approach is useful in understanding the long-term return provided by an acquisition and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the accounting expense associated with acquired intangible assets.
A reconciliation of the non-GAAP amounts to GAAP amounts is included in the financial tables attached to this release.
