Jefferies Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Q2 Financial Highlights

  • Net income attributable to common shareholders of $114 million, or $0.45 per diluted share
  • Annualized return on adjusted tangible equity of 5.8%1
  • Total Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management Net Revenues of $1.13 billion
  • Investment Banking net revenues of $687 million
  • Combined Capital Markets net revenues of $416 million
  • Asset Management net revenues (before allocated net interest2) of $45 million
  • Repurchased 8.0 million shares of common stock for $258.0 million, or an average price of $32.20 per share; at May 31, 2022, we had 232.3 million shares outstanding and 259.6 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis3; our book value per share was $44.34 and tangible book value per fully diluted share4 was $33.36 at May 31, 2022
  • Since January 2018, Jefferies has repurchased 145.3 million shares of common stock5 for $3.4 billion, or an average price of $23.16 per share; Jefferies has returned to shareholders $4.6 billion, or 46% of shareholders' equity and 61% of tangible shareholders' equity6 at January 1, 2018
  • Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase in the future of an additional up to $250 million of our common stock

"Our second quarter results are reasonable in the face of an extremely challenging capital markets environment, with some markets being all but shut to new issues. We achieved Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management net revenues of over $1.1 billion despite the limited new issue market, as well as some unrealized markdowns in our mortgage inventory and leveraged finance commitments. Similarly, we incurred increased expenses for conferences, travel and other marketing, which will primarily benefit future periods, as well as our $14 million charitable contributions to support Ukraine.

"Our Investment Banking advisory activity remains strong as our clients continue to look to Jefferies to support them through this transition in economic and market conditions. We believe our market position continues to strengthen and we will reap the benefit of this as conditions normalize and the new issue market picks up. Our backlog7 is consistent with last quarter's strong levels but execution remains dependent on market conditions. Based on our ongoing dialogues with our clients, we believe that M&A and capital markets activity will pick up when stability and visibility improve.

"We are deeply appreciative of our entire team that is persevering through this period of instability, working tirelessly to add to our significant pipeline of future deals while we wait for the market to open. We have invested heavily in human capital throughout Jefferies over the past decade, and in particular these past two years. We remain optimistic of our long-term growth and trajectory and look forward to continued success serving our ever increasing and incredibly loyal client base."

Richard Handler, CEO, and Brian Friedman, President

Quarterly Cash Dividend

The Jefferies Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend equal to $0.30 per Jefferies common share, payable on August 26, 2022 to record holders of Jefferies common shares on August 15, 2022.

Investment Banking and Capital Markets

 

Investment Banking and Capital Markets

  • Investment Banking net revenues were $687 million, as our advisory activity remained strong, while our debt and equity underwriting net revenues were lower than the same period last year, consistent with a reduction in industry-wide deal activity.
  • Combined Capital Markets net revenues of $416 million were lower as compared to prior year quarter. Equities net revenues benefited from record high commissions, partially offset by a challenging environment for risk assets, as our results were impacted by market volatility and global instability. Fixed Income net revenues reflect lower trading volumes, unrealized mark to market losses on certain mortgage inventory positions and a slowdown in securitization activity as a result of increased uncertainty in respect of inflation and interest rates.

 

  • Investment Banking net revenues of $1.69 billion were driven by significantly higher advisory net revenues, offset by lower net revenues in debt and equity underwriting.
  • Combined Capital Markets net revenues of $896 million were lower as compared to prior year period. Equities net revenues were significantly impacted by market volatility and global instability. Fixed Income results were impacted by lower trading volumes in the face of inflation concerns and interest rate uncertainty.

Asset Management

 

Asset Management

  • Asset Management net revenues reflects a difficult trading environment as compared to the prior year quarter.

 

  • Asset Management net revenues reflect higher asset management fees, offset by lower investment returns and lower revenues from strategic affiliates as compared to the prior year period.

Legacy Merchant Banking

 

Legacy Merchant Banking

  • Merchant Banking results reflect strong results at Idaho Timber, offset by mark-to-market hedging losses at Vitesse and a decline in the value of several of our investments in public companies. We continue to work toward the realization of the Merchant Banking portfolio.

 

  • Merchant Banking results reflect strong results at Idaho Timber as favorable pricing that began in 2020 has continued for much of the second quarter, offset by mark-to-market hedging losses at Vitesse and a decline in the value of several of our investments in public companies.

Notes

  1. Return on adjusted tangible equity (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as Jefferies' annualized adjusted net income (a non-GAAP financial measure) divided by our beginning of period adjusted tangible shareholders' equity (a non-GAAP financial measure). Refer to schedule on page 12 for reconciliation to U.S. GAAP amounts.
  2. Allocated net interest represents an allocation to Asset Management of certain of our long-term debt interest expense, net of interest income on our Cash and cash equivalents and other sources of liquidity. Allocated net interest has been disaggregated to increase transparency and to make clearer actual Investment return. Refer to Selected Financial and Statistical Information on pages 8 to 10.
  3. Shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as Jefferies common shares outstanding plus restricted stock units, stock options, conversion of redeemable convertible preferred shares and other shares. Refer to schedule on page 13 for reconciliation to U.S. GAAP amounts.
  4. Tangible book value per fully diluted share (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as adjusted tangible book value (a non-GAAP financial measure) divided by shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis (a non-GAAP financial measure). Refer to schedule on page 13 for reconciliation to U.S. GAAP amounts.
  5. The 145.3 million common shares repurchased since January 2018 includes 141.2 million shares of common stock repurchased in the open market for $3.2 billion under our Board of Director authorizations and 4.1 million shares of common stock for $136.6 million repurchased in connection with net-share settlements under our equity compensation plan.
  6. Tangible shareholders' equity (a non-GAAP financial measure), is defined as Jefferies Financial Group shareholders' equity less Intangible assets, net and goodwill. Refer to schedule on page 12 for reconciliation to U.S. GAAP amounts.
  7. Backlog represents an estimate of our net revenues from expected future transactions. As an indicator of net revenues in a given period, it is subject to limitations. The time frame for the realization of revenues from these expected transactions varies and is influenced by factors we do not control. Transactions not included in the estimate may occur, and expected transactions may also be modified or cancelled.
  8. In the first quarter of 2022, we transferred certain Merchant Banking net assets to our Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management segments. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current segment disclosure.

In the first quarter of 2022, we transferred certain Merchant Banking net assets to our Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management segments. Previously reported results are presented on a comparable basis.

(2)

In the first quarter of 2022, we also made a change to present our share of the net earnings of Berkadia Commercial Mortgage Holding LLC within Investment banking net revenues, which was previously presented within our Other business category. Previously reported results are presented on a comparable basis.

(3)

Allocated net interest is not separately disaggregated for Investment Banking and Capital Markets. This presentation is aligned to our Investment Banking and Capital Markets internal performance measurement.

(4)

Includes management and performance fees from funds and accounts managed by us as well as our share of fees received by affiliated asset management companies with which we have revenue and profit share arrangements, as well as earnings on our ownership interest in affiliated asset managers.

(5)

Allocated net interest represents an allocation to Asset Management of certain of our long-term debt interest expense, net of interest income on our Cash and cash equivalents and other sources of liquidity. Allocated net interest has been disaggregated to increase transparency and to make clearer actual Investment return. We believe that aggregating Investment return and Allocated net interest would obscure the Investment return by including an amount that is unique to our credit spreads, debt maturity profile, capital structure, liquidity risks and allocation methods.

(6)

Number of trading loss days is calculated based on trading activities in our Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management business segments.

(7)

VaR estimates the potential loss in value of trading positions in our Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management business segments due to adverse market movements over a one-day time horizon with a 95% confidence level. For a further discussion of the calculation of VaR, see "Value-at-Risk" in Part II, Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2021.

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.

(3)

Tangible equity (a non-GAAP financial measure) represents total Jefferies shareholders' equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. We believe that tangible equity is meaningful for valuation purposes, as financial companies are often measured as a multiple of tangible equity, making these ratios meaningful for investors.

(4)

Leverage ratio equals total assets divided by total equity.

(5)

Tangible gross leverage ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) equals total assets less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets divided by tangible equity. The tangible gross leverage ratio is used by rating agencies in assessing our leverage ratio.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

The following tables reconcile our non-GAAP measures to their respective U.S. GAAP measures. Management believes such non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they allow them to view our results through the eyes of management, while facilitating a comparison across historical periods. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Stock options added to book value are equal to the total number of stock options outstanding as of May 31, 2022 of 5,061,000 multiplied by the weighted average exercise price of $23.73 on May 31, 2022. Stock options added to fully diluted shares are equal to the total stock options outstanding on May 31, 2022.

Fully diluted shares outstanding include vested and unvested RSUs as well as the target number of RSUs issuable under the senior executive compensation plans. Fully diluted shares outstanding also include all stock options and the additional common shares if our redeemable convertible preferred shares were converted to common shares.
