Jefferies Reports Fiscal Third-Quarter 2013 Financial Results
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 17, 2013--Jefferies Group LLC today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter 2013.
Highlights for the three months ended August 31, 2013:
- Net revenues of $517 million
- Net earnings of $12 million
- Investment banking net revenues of $319 million
- Equities net revenues of $151 million
- Fixed Income net revenues of $33 million
“With the significant change in expectations regarding interest rates, we experienced a very challenging summer in our fixed income businesses due to the rising rate environment, spread widening, redemptions experienced by our client base which heavily muted trading, and related mark-to-market write downs within our inventory (with no single meaningful item). At the same time, we recorded strong results in our investment banking activities and continued improvement in equities. Finally, our European business had a strong third-quarter, with meaningful benefit from our corporate broking effort, Jefferies Hoare Govett. Our investment in Knight Capital was marked down by $16 million in the third-quarter, reflecting the decline in the Knight stock price. The impact of this mark-down is recorded in our Equities net revenues line item,” commented Richard B. Handler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jefferies.
“Fixed income markets were most unsettled in June, while July and August were more balanced, but witnessed subdued summer activity levels. Since Labor Day, client flows have been stronger and fixed income performance has markedly improved to more normal levels. Momentum in Investment Banking appears to be building for our fourth-quarter and into 2014, as our backlog is strong and improving,” added Mr. Handler.
Our revenues, expenses and net earnings for the third-quarter of 2013 are impacted by the following items:
- Revenues include an additional $27 million of positive net interest income due to the amortization of premiums arising from the one-time fair value adjustment of our long-term debt to fair value as of the date of our merger with Leucadia and the concurrent assumption of our mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock by Leucadia.
- Professional fees include an additional $3.6 million of merger related and other legal fees.
- Other expenses include the following items aggregating $17 million: $8 million of incremental amortization expense associated with intangible assets and internally developed software recognized upon the merger with Leucadia and approximately $9 million in litigation settlement costs. Our litigation settlement costs include a final judgment awarded on our last outstanding auction-rate securities matter.
Without these costs, our non-compensation costs would be $180 million.
Excluding the above revenue items, our compensation ratio would have been 59.5%, consistent with recent periods. Our total headcount at August 31, 2013 was 3,805, an increase of 20 employees compared to May 31, 2013.
Peregrine C. Broadbent, Chief Financial Officer of Jefferies commented: “As the table below shows, our balance sheet, capital, liquidity and risk metrics continue to demonstrate our continued conservative management philosophy and remain virtually unchanged from prior quarters. At period end, our gross leverage ratio, excluding the impact of the Leucadia purchase accounting, was 9.41 times equity and Level 3 assets were $500 million and remain at about 3% of inventory."

(A) Our consolidated net income for the three months ended May 31, 2013 reflects a reduction of $2.5 million, after tax, to correct the valuation of the conversion option in our convertible senior debentures. Our Statement of Financial Condition reflects adjustments of $10.2 million to increase total assets and $12.7 million to increase total liabilities as of May 31, 2013, after considering tax effects, for the effect of the option valuation both in connection with the acquisition accounting for our merger with Leucadia on March 1, 2013 and the adjustment to the valuation of the conversion option at May 31, 2013. We evaluated the effects of this correction and concluded that it is not material to the previously issued Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended May 31, 2013. Nevertheless, we have revised our consolidated net income for the three month period ended May 31, 2013 to correct for the effect of this item and appropriately reflected a reduction of $3.9 million in Principal transaction revenues and revised our balance sheet to appropriately reflect an increase of $5.3 million in Goodwill, an increase of $5.0 million in Other assets for the impact on income taxes and an increase of $12.7 million in Long-term debt.

| (1) | This amount represents 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 period ended August 31, 2013. | |
| (2) | As of August 31, 2013, 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 $1,145 million, in aggregate, and $310 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. | |
| (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) | As of August 31 and May 31, 2013, total capital includes our long-term debt of $5,793 million and $6,088 million, respectively, and total equity. As of August 31, 2012 total capital includes our long-term debt, mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock, mandatorily redeemable preferred interest of consolidated subsidiaries, in aggregate $4,916 million, 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. | |
| (6) | Leverage ratio equals total assets divided by total equity. | |
| (7) | 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, 2013, May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 adjusted assets were $30,139 million, $31,648 million and $29,232 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. | |
| (8) | 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. | |
| (9) | Leverage ratio - excluding merger impacts (a non-GAAP financial measure) is calculated as follows: |
