Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE: JEF)

June 27, 2022

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 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.

(1)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.
