Jefferies Reports Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 16, 2014--Jefferies Group LLC today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter 2014.
Highlights for the three months ended August 31, 2014:
Highlights for the nine months ended August 31, 2014:
Richard B. Handler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Brian P. Friedman, Chairman of the Executive Committee, commented: “These results represent the best third quarter and the best first nine-months Jefferies has achieved in our over 50-year history. Our third quarter performance was driven by $468 million in Investment Banking net revenues. These record investment banking results reflect solid contributions from equity and debt capital markets, strong performance in our merger and acquisition advisory business, and broad participation across our industry groups and geographies. Our sales and trading business results were also solid for the quarter and are $367 million. We continue to expand our client reach and believe we are gaining market share across the board as we leverage our unique position as the largest non-bank, full-service global investment banking firm based in the U.S. The overall environment is reasonable, and our competitive position has never been stronger.”
The attached financial tables should be read in connection with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2014 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2013. On September 2, 2014, we issued a press release announcing preliminary financial results for the fiscal third quarter of 2014, which were also filed with a Current Report on Form 8-K. Actual results as reported herein differ from those preliminary results as a result of our routine financial reporting close process, which has now been finalized. Differences in the actual results for the fiscal third quarter of 2014 reported herein from the preliminary results are attributed to revenue allocations to business divisions, conclusions on revenue arrangements, fair value estimates and adjustments to expense accruals.
Jefferies, the global investment banking firm focused on serving clients for over 50 years, is a leader in providing insight, expertise and execution to investors, companies and governments. The firm provides a full range of investment banking, sales, trading, research and strategy across the spectrum of equities, fixed income, foreign exchange, futures and commodities, as well as wealth management, in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS - FOOTNOTES | ||
(1) | Amounts pertaining to August 31, 2014 represent a preliminary estimate as of the date of this earnings release and may be revised in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended August 31, 2014. | |
(2) | As of August 31, 2014, other sources of liquidity include high quality sovereign government securities and reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities and other high quality sovereign government securities of $1,530 million, in aggregate, and $348 million, being the total of the estimated amount of additional secured financing that could be reasonably expected to be obtained from our financial instruments that are currently not pledged at reasonable financing haircuts and additional funds available under the committed senior secured revolving credit facility available for working capital needs of Jefferies Bache. The corresponding amounts included in other sources of liquidity as of May 31, 2014 were $1,202 million and $664 million, and as of August 31, 2013, were $1,145 million and $310 million, respectively. | |
(3) | Tangible member's / common stockholders' equity (a non-GAAP financial measure) represents total member's / common stockholders' equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. We believe that tangible member's / common stockholders' equity is meaningful for valuation purposes, as financial companies are often measured as a multiple of tangible member's / common stockholders' equity, making these ratios meaningful for investors. | |
(4) | Level 3 financial instruments represent those financial instruments classified as such under Accounting Standards Codification 820, accounted for at fair value and included within Financial instruments owned. | |
(5) |
Level 3 financial instruments owned with economic exposure represent Level 3 financial instruments owned adjusted for Level 3 financial instruments that are financed by nonrecourse secured financing or attributable to third party or employee noncontrolling interests in certain consolidated entities.
|
|
(6) | As of August 31, 2014, May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013, total capital includes our long-term debt of $6,368 million, $6,414 million and $5,793 million, respectively, and total equity. Long-term debt included in total capital is reduced by amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the amount of debt maturing in less than one year, where applicable. | |
(7) | Leverage ratio equals total assets divided by total equity. | |
(8) | Adjusted leverage ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) equals adjusted assets divided by tangible total equity, being total equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Adjusted assets (a non-GAAP financial measure) equals total assets less securities borrowed, securities purchased under agreements to resell, cash and securities segregated, goodwill and identifiable intangibles plus financial instruments sold, not yet purchased (net of derivative liabilities). As of August 31, 2014, May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013 adjusted assets were $38,100 million, $35,577 million and $30,112 million, respectively. We believe that adjusted assets is a meaningful measure as it excludes certain assets that are considered of lower risk as they are generally self-financed by customer liabilities through our securities lending activities. | |
(9) | Tangible gross leverage ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) equals total assets less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets divided by tangible member's / common stockholders' equity. The tangible gross leverage ratio is used by Rating Agencies in assessing our leverage ratio. |
