LUK Leucadia National Corp.

Jefferies Group LLC today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter 2016.

Highlights for the three months ended August 31, 2016:

• Total Net Revenues of $654 million
• Total Sales and Trading Net Revenues of $344 million
• Investment Banking Net Revenues of $295 million
• Earnings Before Income Taxes of $81 million
• Net Earnings of $41 million (tax rate 49.0%)

Rich Handler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Brian Friedman, Chairman of the Executive Committee, commented: “We are pleased to report quarterly revenues well above those for the same period last year and consistent with our recent second quarter, excluding the impact of the markup last quarter in two listed equity positions, which had no meaningful impact on our third quarter results. Aside from a volatile two week period following the unexpected outcome of the UK ‘Brexit’ referendum in June, fixed income and equity secondary market conditions remained reasonably steady for much of the third quarter. However, new issue activity continued to be slow industry-wide for most of the period.

Our equity net revenues were $148 million, compared to $224 million for the second quarter and $203 million for the third quarter of last year. Two listed equity block positions, including KCG, that were marked up by $60 million in the second quarter, generated only about $2 million of further net total mark ups during the third quarter. The same two positions, as well as two additional securities positions that had an immaterial impact on the third quarter results, were marked up by a net total of $66 million in the third quarter of last year.

Fixed Income net revenues were $195 million, compared to $238 million for the second quarter and up significantly from the poor year-ago quarter of negative $18 million. Our sales and trading credit businesses, including mortgages, corporates, leveraged credit and our recently enhanced emerging markets business, continued to perform well.

Investment banking net revenues were $295 million and reflect solid advisory revenues, but a slower new issuance environment. Our backlog for the fourth quarter represents the highest level of backlog we have experienced this year. We have continued to expand into new sub-sectors and geographies, as well as enhance existing coverage.

Our average daily VaR for the third quarter was $6.62 million, versus $8.25 million for the second quarter. The quarter-over-quarter decrease reflects both a reduction in risk, as well as lower asset price volatility. Average daily VaR for the third quarter was the lowest we have recorded since the fourth quarter of 2010."

At August 31, 2015 amounts also included additional funds that were available under the committed senior secured revolving credit facility available for the working capital needs of Jefferies Bache. The corresponding amounts included in other sources of liquidity at May 31, 2016 were $1,096 million and $669 million, respectively, and at August 31, 2015, were $1,263 million and $446 million, respectively.   (3) Tangible member's equity (a non-GAAP financial measure) represents total member's equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. We believe that tangible member's equity is meaningful for valuation purposes, as financial companies are often measured as a multiple of tangible member's 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) At August 31, 2016, May 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015, total long-term capital includes our long-term debt of $5,476 million, $5,385 million and $5,335 million, respectively, and total equity. Long-term debt included in total long-term capital is reduced by amounts that are non-recourse to Jefferies Group LLC 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). At August 31, 2016, May 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015, adjusted assets were $30,318 million, $31,173 million and $37,240 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 equity. The tangible gross leverage ratio is used by rating agencies in assessing our leverage ratio.   (9) VaR estimates the potential loss in value of our trading positions 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 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2015.
