Leucadia National Corporation (NYSE:LUK) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2017. Income before income taxes was $398 million and net income attributable to Leucadia National Corporation common shareholders was $281 million, or $0.75 per diluted share. The effective tax rate of 26% reflects a $32 million benefit resulting from the repatriation of Jefferies earnings from certain of its foreign subsidiaries, along with their associated foreign tax credits.
Rich Handler, CEO of Leucadia, and Brian Friedman, President of Leucadia, said: "We are pleased with yet another quarter of strong performance across Leucadia. Jefferies' first quarter represents the fourth straight quarter of improved results. Jefferies' recorded net revenues for the twelve months ended February 28, 2017 aggregate to nearly $3 billion and reflect the benchmark level of our capabilities during a stable environment. First quarter performance was driven by well-balanced contributions of $408 million from Investment Banking and $380 million from Equities and Fixed Income, reflecting improved debt capital markets performance, a solid contribution by equity capital markets, a good quarter for advisory activities and a sales and trading environment that was reasonably robust for much of the quarter.
"Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, Virtu Financial agreed to acquire KCG at a price of $20.00 per share, which would generate a further $98 million gain for our 24% interest in KCG held at Jefferies, most of which we expect to record in our second quarter. The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter. Cumulative net revenues since 2012 from KCG and Jefferies' KCG investment would be $419 million, including fees received by Jefferies for its services.
"National Beef, in what is typically a lighter seasonal quarter for beef processing, more than doubled its pre-tax income from a year ago, reflecting solid margin conditions throughout the quarter. Our other businesses, including Berkadia, Garcadia, Idaho Timber and Vitesse, performed well during the quarter. Leucadia Asset Management, while still in its early stages, has weathered its start-up costs and is now making positive contributions to our operating results. The value of our HRG position was marked up $175 million this quarter. Our results include the pre-tax gain of $180 million related to the previously announced sale of Conwed Plastics, offset by a non-cash $130 million markdown to adjust the value of our FXCM equity investment to fair value (reducing our cumulative gains to about $300 million). While we are disappointed to be marking down our equity investment in FXCM, we have nearly recovered the full amount of cash we invested, and look forward to continued repayments on a principal balance of $123 million and owning a remaining equity investment value of $187 million."
More information on the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 will be provided upon filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
