our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Stifel Financial Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan as of December&nbsp;31, 2017 and 2016, and the changes in net

the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a
public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (&#147;PCAOB&#148;) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Plan&#146;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Report on Supplemental Information </I></B></P>

performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan&#146;s financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule reconciles to
the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the
supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, are presented in conformity with the Department of Labor&#146;s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the <I>Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974</I>. In our opinion, the Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. </P>

&#150; Description of the Plan </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following description of the Stifel Financial Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) provides only
general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document and Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan&#146;s provisions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>General </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan is a defined contribution plan
sponsored by Stifel Financial Corp. (the &#147;Company&#148;) for the benefit of its employees who meet the eligibility provisions of the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(&#147;ERISA&#148;). The Plan is administered by the Stifel Investment Committee, whose members are appointed by the Company&#146;s Board of Directors. Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (&#147;Prudential&#148; or the
&#147;Trustee&#148;) is a fiduciary of the Plan and also serves as the record keeper to maintain the individual accounts of each Plan participant. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Stifel
Trust Company, National Association, a subsidiary of the Company, and Great-West Financial Retirement Plan Services, LLC d/b/a Empower Retirement serve as trustees and custodians for the Plan with respect to certain assets from plan rollovers of
acquired companies that could not be transferred to Prudential. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;3, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of City Financial
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, City Securities Corporation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Contributions </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each year, participants may contribute up to 100% of their eligible compensation as defined by the Plan document, up to an annual maximum of $18,000 for 2017
and 2016. The Plan includes an automatic deferral feature. Accordingly, the Company will automatically withhold a portion of an eligible participant&#146;s compensation. The amount to be automatically withheld will be equal to 6% of an eligible
participant&#146;s compensation, and that amount will increase by 1% each plan year until the amount withheld reaches 10% of an eligible participant&#146;s annual compensation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the Plan year are eligible to make catch-up contributions through payroll deductions up
to an annual maximum of $6,000 in 2017 and 2016. Participant contributions are contributed to the Plan as an elective deferral. There are two types of elective deferrals: pre-tax deferrals and Roth deferrals. For the years ended December&nbsp;31,
2017 and 2016, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors elected to match 50% of the first $2,000 contributed by each participant. The Company&#146;s contribution to the participant&#146;s individual account is credited at the end of the year. This is
reflected in the employer contribution receivable in the statements of net assets available for benefits as of December&nbsp;31, 2017 and 2016. The Company has the right, under the Plan, to discontinue or modify its matching contributions at any
time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, each year the Company may make a discretionary contribution based on profitability. Discretionary contributions are allocated to the
participants employed on the last day of the Plan year on the basis of participants&#146; compensation. There were no discretionary contributions in 2017 or 2016. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During 2017, the assets of the City Financial Corp. 401k and Profit Sharing Plan were merged into the Plan. The transfer included $29,747,714 of assets, which
are included in Transferred from acquired company plans in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. During 2017, assets of $11,710 from the Sterne Agee 401(k) Plan were merged into the Plan and are included in Transferred from
acquired company plans in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During 2016, the assets of the Sterne Agee 401(k) Plan were
merged into the Plan. The transfer included $41,586,811 of assets, which are included in Transferred from acquired company plans in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Participants direct the investment of their contributions and the Company&#146;s matching contributions into various investment account options offered by the
Plan. The Plan currently offers investments in common stock of the Company, various pooled separate accounts, mutual funds, a guaranteed account, and a self-directed brokerage accounts. Each participant has the option of directing their
contributions into any of the separate investment accounts and may change the allocation daily. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Participant Accounts </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each participant&#146;s account is credited with the participant&#146;s and the Company&#146;s contributions and allocations of plan earnings and is charged
with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. All amounts in participant accounts are participant directed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Vesting </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All elective contributions made by
participants and earnings on those contributions are 100% vested at all times. Vesting in the Company&#146;s contributions plus earnings thereon is based on years of service. A participant is fully vested after three years of service. Participants
forfeit the nonvested portion of their accounts in the Plan upon termination of employment with the Company. Under provisions of the Plan, forfeited balances of terminated participants&#146; nonvested accounts may be used at the Company&#146;s
discretion to reduce its matching contribution obligations and then, to the extent any forfeitures remain, reallocated to participants&#146; accounts. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Payment of Benefits </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon termination of service,
an employee may elect to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the vested value of their account, net of any outstanding loan balance. Upon death, a participant&#146;s account is paid in a lump sum to the designated beneficiary. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Notes Receivable from Participants </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Participants
may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 and up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, whichever is less. Generally, loan terms may not exceed five years unless the loan is used to purchase a
participant&#146;s principal residence, in which case repayment terms may not exceed ten years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant&#146;s account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing lending rates
determined by the Stifel Investment Committee. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Participant loans are classified as
notes receivable from participants in the statements of net assets available for benefits and are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. </P>

intention to do so, the Company has the right, under provisions of the Plan, to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100%
vested in their accounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>NOTE 2 &#150; Summary of Significant Accounting Policies </B></P>

investment) and the Key Guaranteed Portfolio Fund (a group annuity contract), which are stated at their contract value in the statements of net assets available for benefits at December&nbsp;31, 2017 and 2016. The mutual funds, common stock and
self-directed brokerage accounts are stated at fair value based upon quoted market prices. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date
basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Income Tax Status </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan operates under a standardized adoption agreement in connection with a prototype 401(k) profit-sharing plan and trust sponsored by Prudential. This
prototype plan document has been filed with the appropriate agency and has obtained a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the prototype constitutes a qualified plan under Section&nbsp;401 of the Internal Revenue Code
and that the related trust was tax exempt as of the financial statement date. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan has not obtained or requested a determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan and related trust are currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and that the Plan was qualified
and the related trust was tax exempt as of the financial statement date. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Payment of Benefits </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. </P>

various investment options in common stock, pooled separate accounts, registered investment companies (mutual funds), and self-directed brokerage accounts. The Plan&#146;s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance of investments is
limited to the carrying value of such investments. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment
securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and
participant account balances. </P>

instrument is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. &#147;the exit price&#148;) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We have categorized our
financial instruments measured at fair value into a three-level classification in accordance with FASB Topic 820, &#147;<I>Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures</I>,&#148; which established a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that
maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the
circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the transparency of inputs as follows: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Level 1 &#150; Observable inputs based on
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Level 2 &#150; Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or
indirectly, such as quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Level 3 &#150; Unobservable inputs that are supported by little
or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Valuation Techniques </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value on a recurring basis. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan&#146;s valuation methodology used to measure the fair values of the mutual funds, Stifel Financial Corp. common stock and certain self-directed
brokerage accounts were derived from quoted market prices. These investments are reported as Level&nbsp;1. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain self-directed brokerage accounts
include equity securities with unobservable inputs. These investments are reported as Level&nbsp;3. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Pooled Separate Accounts </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Fair value represents the net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) of the fund shares, which is calculated based on the valuation of the funds&#146; underlying
investments at fair value at the end of the year. The investments are public investment vehicles, which are valued using the NAV provided by the Trustee, acting as the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets
owned by the fund, excluding transaction costs, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>NOTE 4 &#150; Contract with Insurance Company </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2017 and 2016, the Plan invested in the Guaranteed Income Fund (&#147;GIF&#148;) offered by Prudential. Guarantees are based on the claims paying ability of
Prudential and not the value of the securities within the insurer&#146;s general account. The credit rating of the issuer at December&nbsp;31, 2017 was A1 as reported by Moody&#146;s Investors Service. Deposits made to the GIF are deposited in
Prudential&#146;s general account. Payment obligations under the GIF represent an insurance claim supported by all the general assets. The GIF does not operate like a mutual fund, variable annuity product, or conventional fixed rate individual
annuity product. Expenses related to the GIF are calculated by Prudential and incorporated in the GIF crediting rate. Past interest rates are not indicative of future interest rates. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>GIF Operation </U></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the group annuity contract that
supports this product, participants may ordinarily direct permitted withdrawals or transfers of all or a portion of their account balance at Contract Value within reasonable time frames. Contract Value represents deposits made to the contract, plus
earnings at guaranteed crediting rates, less withdrawals and fees. The contract is effected directly between the Plan and the issuer. The repayment of principal and interest credited to participants is a financial obligation of the issuer. There are
no reserves against Contract Value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. Given these provisions, the Plan considers this contact to be benefit responsive. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Contract Value </U></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The concept of a value other than
Contract Value does not apply to this insurance company issued account backed evergreen (no maturity date) group annuity spread product even upon discontinuance of the contract in which case Contract Value would be paid no later than 90 days from
the date the sponsor provides notice to discontinue. The contract&#146;s operation is different than many other evergreen group annuity products in the market by virtue of the fact that a market value (fair value) adjustment does not apply upon a
discontinuance. This annuity contract, and therefore the liability of the insurer, is not backed by specific securities of its general account, and therefore the market value of the securities in the insurer&#146;s general account does not represent
the fair value. The Plan owns a promise to receive interest at crediting rates which are announced in advance and guaranteed for a specific period of time as outlined in the group annuity contract. This product is not a traditional Guaranteed
Investment Contract, and therefore there are no known cash flows that could be discounted. As a result, the value amount shown materially approximates the Contract Value. As of December&nbsp;31, 2017 and 2016, the Plan held $170,382,399 and
$155,338,125, respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Interest Crediting Rates </U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Interest is credited on contract balances using a single portfolio rate approach. Under this methodology, a single interest crediting rate is applied to all
contributions made to the product regardless of the timing of those contributions. The average interest earned by the Plan was 1.85% for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. No adjustment is required to mediate between the
average earnings credited to the Plan and the average earnings credited to the participants. The same crediting interest rate is applied to the entire contract value and is reviewed on a semi-annual basis for resetting. The factors considered in
establishing the crediting interest rate include current economic and market conditions, the general interest rate environment and both actual and expected experience of a reference portfolio within the general account. The guaranteed minimum
interest rate is 1.50%. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Events </U></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Only an event
causing liquidity constraints at Prudential could limit the ability of the Plan to transact at Contract Value paid within 90 days or in rare circumstances, Contract Value over time. There are not any events that allow the issuer to terminate the
contract and which require the Plan sponsor to settle at an amount different than Contact Value paid either within 90 days or over time. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan has a group annuity contract with Great-West Life&nbsp;&amp; Annuity Insurance Company that invests contributions in the Key Guaranteed Portfolio
Fund. The group annuity contract was part of the assets merged into the Plan from the City Financial Corp. 401k and Profit Sharing Plan in 2017. The Key Guaranteed Portfolio Fund is a general account product. The methodology for calculating the
interest crediting rate is based on the earnings of the underlying assets in the entire medium-long term new portfolio compared to the minimum interest crediting rate, as stated in the contract, and prevailing market conditions. The interest
crediting rate is reset quarterly. The average interest earned by the Plan was 1.10% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2017. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and
administrative expenses. The contract meets the fully benefit-responsive investment contract criteria and therefore is reported at contract value. Contract value is the relevant measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because this
is the amount received by participants if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Contract value represents contributions made under each contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals, and administrative
expenses. As of December&nbsp;31, 2017 and 2016, the Plan held $1,368,385 and $0, respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or
transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. The guaranteed investment contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>NOTE 6 &#150; Party-in-Interest Transactions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Party-in-interest transactions include those with fiduciaries or employees of the Plan, any person who provides services to the Plan, an employer whose
employees are covered by the Plan, and a person who owns 50% or more of such an employer or relatives of such persons. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As noted in Note 1, Prudential
Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company is a fiduciary of the Plan and also serves as the record keeper to maintain the individual accounts of each participant. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Active participants can purchase the common stock of the Parent from their existing account balances. At December&nbsp;31, 2017 and 2016, participants held
1,372,178 and 1,528,942 shares, respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan invests in certain funds of the Trustee. The Plan paid $330,908 and $212,230 of administrative and
record keeping fees to the Trustee during 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company provides certain administrative services at no cost to the Plan and pays certain accounting and auditing fees related to the Plan. </P>
