Jefferies Announces First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Q1 Financial Highlights

  • Net income attributable to common shareholders of $327 million, or $1.23 per diluted share
  • Annualized return on adjusted tangible equity of 16.2%1
  • Total Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management Net Revenues of $1.54 billion
  • Quarterly Investment Banking net revenues of $1.00 billion
  • Combined Capital Markets net revenues of $480 million
  • Asset Management net revenues (before allocated net interest2) of $74 million
  • Repurchased 10.038 million shares of common stock for $364.2 million, or an average price of $36.28 per share, including 6.848 million shares of common stock in the open market for $250.0 million under our current Board of Directors authorization and 3.190 million shares of common stock for $114.2 million in connection with net-share settlements under our equity compensation plan
  • In the four year period starting January 2018, Jefferies has repurchased 137.292 million shares of common stock3 for $3.107 billion, or an average price of $22.63 per share; Jefferies has returned to shareholders $4.316 billion, or 43% of shareholders' equity and 56% of tangible shareholders' equity4 since January 2018
  • Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase in the future of an additional up to $250 million of our common stock

"We are proud of our solid first quarter results which as expected, are down from our industry’s uniquely exceptional first quarter of 2021, but consistent with the new level of operating success Jefferies achieved for the last nine months of 2021. Our strong first quarter results reflect the breadth and depth of our platform, despite the challenging trading environment caused by the anticipated change in Fed policy that existed in December and January and exacerbated by the even more difficult capital markets conditions that began in February with the onset of the invasion of Ukraine. Despite the change in market tone, the performance in our Investment Banking business continues to reflect our increased market share, as continued momentum in our Advisory business led our results, with an increase of 75% over the prior year comparable quarter. Our debt underwriting net revenues were solid, while our equity underwriting results were lower than the same period last year, consistent with a reduction in industry-wide deal activity. The new issue markets are clearly more sensitive to the increase in volatility and while our investment banking backlog5 remains strong, our realization of this backlog is sensitive to market conditions.

"Equities net revenues were impacted by market volatility and global instability. Fixed Income net revenues were lower, primarily due to lower trading volumes in the face of inflation concerns and interest rate uncertainty.

"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 quarter.

“We have no operations in Russia and our exposure to Russia is otherwise immaterial.

"Our Ukrainian Doing Good Global Trading Day on March 3rd raised more than $14 million, our largest fundraising effort ever. We are humbled by our clients, employees, shareholders and friends who have all come together in this show of support. The funds were distributed to 20 charities that are providing on the ground humanitarian aid and support to help the brave, courageous and inspirational people of Ukraine as they defend their lives, freedom and homes. We hope and pray for their fortitude and success. It should be crystal clear that Jefferies stands with the Ukrainian people."

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 May 27, 2022 to record holders of Jefferies common shares on May 16, 2022.

Highlights

Three months ended February 28, 2022

  • Net income attributable to common shareholders of $327 million, or $1.23 per diluted share.
  • Repurchased 10.038 million shares of common stock for $364.2 million, or an average price of $36.28 per share, including 6.848 million shares of common stock in the open market for $250.0 million under our current Board of Directors authorization and 3.190 million shares of common stock for $114.2 million in connection with net-share settlements under our equity compensation plan.
  • We had 240.2 million shares outstanding and 267.2 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis7 at February 28, 2022. Our book value per share was $43.68 and tangible book value per fully diluted share 8 was $33.08 at February 28, 2022.
  • Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase in the future of an additional up to $250 million of our common stock.
  • Effective tax rate of 16.4%, primarily reflecting excess tax benefits from restricted stock unit conversions.

Investment Banking and Capital Markets

  • Investment Banking net revenues of $1.00 billion were driven by significantly higher quarterly advisory net revenues and higher results in debt underwriting as compared with the prior year quarter, offset by lower net revenues in equity underwriting.
  • Combined Capital Markets net revenues of $480 million were lower as compared to prior year quarter. Equities net revenues were significantly impacted by market volatility and global instability. In addition, the first quarter last year benefited from trading opportunities related to Special Purpose Acquisition Companies. Fixed Income results were impacted by lower trading volumes in the face of inflation concerns and interest rate uncertainty.

Asset Management

  • 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 quarter.

Legacy Merchant Banking

  • Merchant Banking results reflect strong results at Idaho Timber, offset by unrealized 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 9 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 6 to 7.
  3. The 137.292 million common shares repurchased since January 2018 includes 133.449 million shares of common stock repurchased in the open market for $2.979 billion under our Board of Director authorizations and 3.843 million shares of common stock for $128.6 million repurchased in connection with net-share settlements under our equity compensation plan.
  4. 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 9 for reconciliation to U.S. GAAP amounts.
  5. Backlog represents an estimate of our net revenues from expected future transactions. As an indicator of net revenues in a given future 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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 10 for reconciliation to U.S. GAAP amounts.
  8. 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).

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.
