Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Organization and Basis of Presentation Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is a U.S.-headquartered global full
service, integrated investment banking and capital markets firm.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements represent
the accounts of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. and subsidiaries
(together, the “Company,” “we” or “us”). We, collectively with our
consolidated subsidiaries and through our affiliates, deliver a
broad range of financial services across investment banking,
capital markets and asset management.
We operate in two reportable business segments: (1) Investment
Banking and Capital Markets and (2) Asset Management. The
Investment Banking and Capital Markets reportable business
segment includes our capital markets activities and our
investment banking business, which provides underwriting and
financial advisory services to our clients. We operate in the
Americas; Europe and the Middle East; and Asia-Pacific.
Investment Banking and Capital Markets also includes our
corporate lending joint venture (“Jefferies Finance LLC” or
“Jefferies Finance”), our commercial real estate joint venture
(“Berkadia Commercial Holding LLC” or “Berkadia”) and
historically our automobile lending and servicing activities (sold
in April 2024). The Asset Management reportable business
segment provides alternative investment management services
to investors in the U.S. and overseas and generates investment
income from capital invested in and managed by us or our
affiliated asset managers, and includes certain remaining
businesses and assets of our legacy merchant banking portfolio.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, we acquired Stratos Group
International (“Stratos”) (formerly FXCM Group, LLC, or “FXCM”)
and OpNet S.p.A. (“OpNet,” formerly known as “Linkem”),
investments in our legacy merchant banking portfolio which
became consolidated subsidiaries. In April 2024, we finalized the
sale of Foursight Capital LLC (“Foursight”). In February 2024,
OpNet agreed to sell substantially all of its wholesale operating
assets to Wind Tre S.p.A., a subsidiary of CK Hutchison Group
Telecom Holdings Ltd. The sale closed in August 2024. Refer to
Note 4, Business Acquisitions and Note 5, Assets Held for Sale
and Discontinued Operations for further information.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with
our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
November 30, 2024. Certain footnote disclosures included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30,
2024 have been condensed or omitted from the consolidated
financial statements as they are not required for interim reporting
under U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of
the results for the interim period. The results presented in our
consolidated financial statements for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.
We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating
to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period to prepare
these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP. The most important of these estimates and assumptions
relate to fair value measurements, compensation and benefits,
goodwill and intangible assets and the accounting for income
taxes. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are
based on the best available information, actual results could be
materially different from these estimates.
Consolidation
Our policy is to consolidate all entities that we control by
ownership of a majority of the outstanding voting stock. In
addition, we consolidate entities that meet the definition of a
variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary
beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has the
power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly
impact the entity’s economic performance and who has an
obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive
benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the
entity. For consolidated entities that are less than wholly-owned,
the third-party’s holding of equity interest is presented as
Noncontrolling interests in our Consolidated Statements of
Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Changes in
Equity. The portion of net earnings attributable to the
noncontrolling interests is presented as Net earnings (losses)
attributable to noncontrolling interests in our Consolidated
Statements of Earnings.
In situations in which we have significant influence, but not
control, of an entity that does not qualify as a VIE, we apply either
the equity method of accounting or fair value accounting
pursuant to the fair value option election under U.S. GAAP, with
our portion of net earnings or gains and losses recorded in Other
revenues or Principal transactions revenues, respectively. We
also have formed nonconsolidated investment vehicles with
third-party investors that are typically organized as partnerships
or limited liability companies and are carried at fair value. We act
as general partner or managing member for these investment
vehicles and have generally provided the third-party investors
with termination or “kick-out” rights.
Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]  
Accounting Developments Note 3. Accounting Developments
Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods
Segment Reporting. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07 (“ASU
2023-07”), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.
The guidance primarily will require enhanced disclosures about
significant segment expenses. The amendments in ASU 2023-07
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023,
and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and are to be applied on
a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact of the
standard on our segment reporting disclosures and will
implement these disclosures commencing with our fiscal year
ending November 30, 2025.
Income Taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No.
2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Improvements to Income Tax
Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve income tax
disclosure requirements by requiring (i) consistent categories
and greater disaggregation of information in the rate
reconciliation and (ii) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by
jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to the
income tax disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU
2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and are required to be
applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application.
We are evaluating the impact of the standard on our income tax
disclosures.
Expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03
(“ASU 2024-03”), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.
The guidance primarily will require enhanced disclosures about
certain types of expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and
interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2027 and may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective
basis. We are evaluating the impact of the standard on our
disclosures.
Credit Losses. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05
(“ASU 2025-05”), Financial Instruments–Credit Losses. The
guidance provides an optional practical expedient when applying
the guidance related to the estimation of expected credit losses
for current accounts receivable and current contract assets
resulting from transactions arising from contracts with
customers. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim
reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are
evaluating the impact of the standard on our financial
statements.
Internal-Use Software. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2025-06 (“ASU 2025-06”), Intangibles–Goodwill and Other–
Internal-Use Software. The guidance modernizes and clarifies the
threshold for when an entity is required to start capitalizing
software costs and is based on when (i) management has
authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii)
it is probable that the project will be completed and the software
will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments
in ASU 2025-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods, with early
adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of the standard
on our disclosures.
Derivatives and Hedging and Revenue from Contracts with
Customers. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No.
2025-07 (“ASU 2025-07”), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)
and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The
guidance refines the scope of Topic 815 to clarify which
contracts are subject to derivative accounting. The guidance also
provides clarification under Topic 606 for share-based payments
from a customer in a revenue contract. The amendments in ASU
2025-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2026, and interim reporting periods, with early adoption
permitted. We are evaluating the impact of the standard on our
disclosures.

Business Acquisitions

Aug. 31, 2025
Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, Transaction between Entities under Common Control, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]  
Business Acquisitions Note 4. Business Acquisitions
OpNet
We historically owned 47.4% of the common shares and 50.0% of
the voting rights of OpNet, a fixed wireless broadband service
provider in Italy, and various classes of convertible preferred
stock issued by OpNet (the “preferred shares”). On November 30,
2023, we provided notice of our intent to convert certain classes
of our preferred shares into common shares and, as a result, we
obtained control of OpNet. Upon conversion on May 7, 2024, our
ownership increased to 57.5% of the common shares and our
voting rights increased to 72.5% of the aggregate voting rights of
OpNet.
Upon obtaining control of OpNet on November 30, 2023, the
assets and liabilities of OpNet have been included in our
consolidated financial statements under the acquisition method
of accounting. The initial consolidation of OpNet was accounted
for under the acquisition method of accounting and we
remeasured our previously existing interests at fair value and
recognized a gain of $115.8 million, representing the excess of
the fair value of our previously existing interests over the carrying
value of our investment of $201.6 million.
The fair value of the previously existing interests was measured
based on an estimate of what could be recognized in a sale
transaction for wholesale net operating assets operating assets
of OpNet, which have been classified as held for sale. The
remaining identifiable assets and assumed liabilities of OpNet
represented the assets and liabilities of Tessellis S.p.A.
(“Tessellis”), a telecommunications company publicly listed on
the Italian stock exchange. An enterprise value for Tessellis was
estimated based on its market capitalization at November 30,
2023, which was then allocated to the identifiable assets,
including intangible assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling
interests of Tessellis using an income approach, which
calculates the present value of the estimated economic benefit
of future cash flows, in order to determine the fair value of the
identified customer relationships and Tessellis trade name.
Property and equipment and developed technology assets were
valued using a replacement cost methodology. Critical estimates
included future expected cash flows, including forecasted
revenues and expenses, and applicable discount rates. Discount
rates used to compute the present value of expected net cash
flows were based upon estimated weighted average cost of
capital. The initial allocation of the purchase price resulted in the
recognition of goodwill relating to Tessellis of $127.1 million. No
consideration was transferred in connection with the
consolidation.
The initial estimated purchase price allocation as of November
30, 2023 for Tessellis was revised during the first quarter of 2024
as new information was received and analyzed resulting in an
increase in intangible assets of $39.3 million, a decrease in
property and equipment of $12.3 million, and a decrease in
goodwill of $27.0 million.
In February 2024, OpNet agreed to sell substantially all of its
wholesale operating assets to Wind Tre S.p.A., a subsidiary of CK
Hutchison Group Telecom Holdings Ltd. The sale closed in
August 2024 and we received net cash proceeds of
$322.8 million and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of
$3.5 million. The sale of OpNet’s operating assets did not include
our interest in Tessellis.
During 2024, Tessellis executed various acquisitions and, as a
result, recognized assets and liabilities of $27.9 million and
$20.2 million, respectively, on the acquisition dates. Total assets
primarily relate to goodwill, property and equipment, intangible
assets, and short-term trade receivables. Total liabilities primarily
relate to financial debt assumed and trade payables. The primary
acquisition executed during 2024 was the acquisition of a 97.2%
ownership interest in Go Internet S.p.A. (“Go Internet”) for a total
consideration of €4.2 million. During the second quarter of 2025,
purchase price allocation adjustments were finalized.

Foursight
During the second quarter of 2024, we closed the sale of
Foursight and recognized a gain on sale of $24.2 million, which is
included within Other revenues.
OpNet
In August 2024, we substantially sold all of OpNet’s wholesale
operating assets and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of
$3.5 million. For the year ended November 30, 2024, the activities
of OpNet’s wholesale operations have been classified as
discontinued operations and OpNet’s results are presented in Net
losses from discontinued operations, net of income tax benefit.
Airplanes
During 2024, we classified certain airplanes related to a sale
leaseback transaction executed with a client by our subsidiary,
Aircadia Leasing II LLC as held for sale. Effective with the
designation of the airplanes as held for sale, we suspended
recording depreciation on these assets. The airplanes are
included within Assets held for sale on our Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition and had a carrying amount of
$51.9 million at November 30, 2024. During the second quarter of
2025, we agreed to sell the airplanes and we recognized a loss of
$12.8 million during the three months ended May 31, 2025. The
sale closed in the third quarter of 2025.

our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8
of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

Investments at Fair Value
Investments at fair value includes investments in hedge funds,
private equity funds, credit funds, real estate funds and other
funds, which are measured at the NAV of the funds, provided by
the fund managers and are excluded from the fair value
hierarchy. Investments at fair value also include direct equity
investments in private companies, which are measured at fair
value using valuation techniques involving quoted prices of or
market data for comparable companies, similar company ratios
and multiples (e.g., price/EBITDA, price/book value), discounted
cash flow analyses and transaction prices observed for
subsequent financing or capital issuance by the company. Direct
equity investments in private companies are categorized within
Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Analysis of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities for the Three Months
Ended August 31, 2025
Transfers of assets of $64.4 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the
fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Loan and other receivables of $43.5 million, CDOs and CLOs of
$12.6 million and Other ABS of $6.7 million due to reduced
pricing transparency.
Transfers of assets of $94.5 million from Level 3 to Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Other ABS of $50.7 million, CDOs and CLOs of $27.1 million,
Corporate debt securities of $12.3 million and Loans and other
receivables of $4.3 million due to greater pricing transparency
supporting classification into Level 2.
Transfers of liabilities of $16.0 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of
the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Structured notes within Long-term debt of $13.1 million,
partially offset by net derivatives transfers into Level 3 of $2.4
million due to reduced market and pricing transparency.
Transfers of liabilities of $22.2 million from Level 3 to Level 2 of
the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Structured notes within Long-term debt of $14.5 million and
Net derivatives of $7.7 million due to greater pricing and
market transparency.
Net gains on Level 3 assets were $30.0 million and net losses on
Level 3 liabilities were $65.5 million for the three months ended
August 31, 2025. Net gains on Level 3 assets were primarily due to
increased market values across Corporate equity securities,
Investments at fair value, Loans and other receivables and Other
ABS, partially offset by decreased market values of CDOs and
CLOs. Net losses on Level 3 liabilities were primarily due to
increased valuations of structured notes within Long-term debt,
certain derivatives and Loans.
Analysis of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities for the Nine Months
Ended August 31, 2025
Transfers of assets of $99.5 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the
fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Loan and other receivables of $38.2 million, Corporate equity
securities of $32.2 million, CDOs and CLOs of $18.6 million and
Other ABS of $10.0 million due to reduced pricing
transparency.
Transfers of assets of $123.5 million from Level 3 to Level 2 of
the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Corporate equity securities of $50.8 million, CDOs and CLOs of
$35.4 million, Loans and other receivables of $20.3 million,
Investments at fair value of $10.0 million, Other ABS of
$4.4 million and Corporate debt securities of $2.5 million due
to greater pricing transparency supporting classification into
Level 2.
Transfers of liabilities of $21.3 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of
the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Net derivatives of $13.4 million and structured notes within
Long-term debt of $7.4 million due to reduced market and
pricing transparency.
Transfers of liabilities of $42.1 million from Level 3 to Level 2 of
the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Structured notes within Long-term debt of $32.8 million and
certain Derivatives of $9.2 million due to greater pricing and
market transparency.
Net gains on Level 3 assets were $25.1 million and net losses on
Level 3 liabilities were $6.4 million for the nine months ended
August 31, 2025. Net gains on Level 3 assets were primarily due
to increased market values across Corporate equity securities
and Investments at fair value, partially offset by decreased
valuations of CDOs and CLOs and Loans and other receivables.
Net losses on Level 3 liabilities were primarily due to increased
valuations of structured notes within Long-term debt, partially
offset by decreased market values of certain Derivatives and
Loans.

Net losses on Level 3 assets were $53.8 million and net losses
on Level 3 liabilities were $23.3 million for the nine months ended
August 31, 2024. Net losses on Level 3 assets were primarily due
to decreased market values across Loans and other receivables,
Investments at fair value, Other ABS and Corporate equity
securities, partially offset by increased valuations of CDOs and
CLOs and Corporate debt securities. Net losses on Level 3
liabilities were primarily due to increased valuations of structured
notes within Long-term debt and Other secured financings,
partially offset by decreased valuations of certain derivatives.
Significant Unobservable Inputs used in Level 3 Fair Value
Measurements
The tables below present information on the valuation
techniques, significant unobservable inputs and their ranges for
our financial assets and liabilities, subject to threshold levels
related to the market value of the positions held, measured at fair
value on a recurring basis with a significant Level 3 balance. The
range of unobservable inputs could differ significantly across
different firms given the range of products across different firms
in the financial services sector. The inputs are not representative
of the inputs that could have been used in the valuation of any
one financial instrument (i.e., the input used for valuing one
financial instrument within a particular class of financial
instruments may not be appropriate for valuing other financial
instruments within that given class). Additionally, the ranges of
inputs presented below should not be construed to represent
uncertainty regarding the fair values of our financial instruments;
rather, the range of inputs is reflective of the differences in the
underlying characteristics of the financial instruments in each
category.
For certain categories, we have provided a weighted average of
the inputs allocated based on the fair values of the financial
instruments comprising the category. We do not believe that the
range or weighted average of the inputs is indicative of the
reasonableness of uncertainty of our Level 3 fair values. The
range and weighted average are driven by the individual financial
instruments within each category and their relative distribution in
the population. The disclosed inputs when compared to the
inputs as disclosed in other periods should not be expected to
necessarily be indicative of changes in our estimates of
unobservable inputs for a particular financial instrument as the
population of financial instruments comprising the category will
vary from period to period based on purchases and sales of
financial instruments during the period as well as transfers into
and out of Level 3 each period.

The fair values of certain Level 3 assets and liabilities that were
determined based on third-party pricing information, unadjusted
past transaction prices or a percentage of the reported enterprise
fair value are excluded from the above tables. At August 31, 2025
and November 30, 2024, asset exclusions consisted of $31.4
million and $23.9 million, respectively, primarily composed of
CDOs and CLOs, Investments at fair value, certain derivatives,
Other ABS and CMBS. At August 31, 2025 and November 30,
2024, liability exclusions consisted of $2.5 million and $2.7
million, respectively, primarily composed of CMBS, certain
derivatives, corporate equity securities and corporate debt
securities.
Uncertainty of Fair Value Measurement from Use of Significant
Unobservable Inputs
For recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3
of the fair value hierarchy, the uncertainty of the fair value
measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs
and interrelationships between those unobservable inputs (if any)
are described below:
Non-exchange-traded securities, corporate debt securities,
CDOs and CLOs, loans and other receivables, other ABS, private
equity securities, certain derivatives, other secured financings
and structured notes using a market approach valuation
technique. A significant increase (decrease) in the price of the
private equity securities, nonexchange-traded securities,
corporate debt securities, CDOs and CLOs, other ABS, loans
and other receivables, other secured financings and structured
notes would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value
measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the revenue
or revenue multiple related to private equity securities would
result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
A significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate/security
yield related to private equity securities would result in a
significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Depending
on whether we are a receiver or (payer) of basis points upfront,
a significant increase in basis points would result in a
significant increase (decrease) in the fair value measurement
of options.
Loans and other receivables, other ABS and other secured
financings using a scenario analysis valuation technique. A
significant increase (decrease) in the possible recovery rates
underlying the financial instrument would result in a
significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement for the
financial instrument.
CDOs and CLOs, corporate debt securities, RMBS and other
ABS using a discounted cash flows valuation technique. A
significant increase (decrease) in isolation in the constant
default rate, loss severity or cumulative loss rate would result
in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The
impact of changes in the constant prepayment rate and
duration would have differing impacts depending on the capital
structure and type of security. A significant increase
(decrease) in the discount rate/security yield would result in a
significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Corporate equity securities and derivative equity options using
volatility benchmarking. A significant increase (decrease) in
volatility would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value
measurement.
Fair Value Option Election
For a description of our financial assets and liabilities for which
we have elected the fair value option, refer to our consolidated
financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2024.

August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
Our shares in Monashee, an equity method investment, were
measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine
months ended August 31, 2024 and are not included in the tables
above. During the nine months ended August 31, 2024, we
converted our shares in Monashee to a newly created class of
nonmarketable preferred shares and remeasured our equity
method investment to a fair value of $21.9 million in connection
with the nonmonetary exchange and the preferred shares are
subsequently accounted for at cost pursuant to the
measurement alternative.
Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
Certain of our financial instruments are not carried at fair value
but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to
their liquid or short-term nature and generally negligible credit
risk. These financial assets include Cash and cash equivalents
and Cash and securities segregated and on deposit for regulatory
purposes or deposited with clearing and depository organizations
and would generally be presented within Level 1 of the fair value
hierarchy.
We have equity securities without readily determinable fair
values, which we account for at cost, minus impairment, which
are presented within Other assets and were $21.9 million at both
August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024. There were no
impairments and downward adjustments on these investments
during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025 and
2024.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments Note 7. Derivative Financial Instruments
Our derivative activities are recorded at fair value in Financial
instruments owned and Financial instruments sold, not yet
purchased, net of cash paid or received under credit support
agreements and on a net counterparty basis when a legally
enforceable right to offset exists under a master netting
agreement. We enter into derivative transactions to satisfy the
needs of our clients and to manage our own exposure to market
and credit risks. In addition, we apply hedge accounting to: (1)
interest rate swaps that have been designated as fair value
hedges of the changes in fair value due to the benchmark interest
rate for certain fixed rate senior long-term debt, and (2) forward
foreign exchange contracts designated as hedges to offset the
change in the value of certain net investments in foreign
operations.
Derivatives are subject to various risks similar to other financial
instruments, including market, credit and operational risk. The
risks of derivatives should not be viewed in isolation, but rather
should be considered on an aggregate basis along with our other
trading-related activities. We manage the risks associated with
derivatives on an aggregate basis along with the risks associated
with proprietary trading as part of our firm wide risk management
policies.
In connection with our derivative activities, we may enter into
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master
netting agreements or similar agreements with counterparties.

The net gains (losses) on derivative contracts in the table above
are one of a number of activities comprising our business
activities and are before consideration of economic hedging
transactions, which generally offset the net gains (losses)
included above. We substantially mitigate our exposure to market
risk on our cash instruments through derivative contracts, which
generally provide offsetting revenues, and we manage the risk
associated with these contracts in the context of our overall risk
management framework.

Contingent Features
Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that
require our debt to maintain an investment grade credit rating
from each of the major credit rating agencies. If our debt were to
fall below investment grade, it would be in violation of these
provisions and the counterparties to the derivative instruments
could request immediate payment or demand immediate and
ongoing full overnight collateralization on our derivative
instruments in liability positions. The following table presents the
aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-
risk-related contingent features that are in a liability position, the
collateral amounts we have posted or received in the normal
course of business and the potential collateral we would have
been required to return and/or post additionally to our
counterparties if the credit-risk-related contingent features
underlying these agreements were triggered:

We receive securities as collateral under resale agreements,
securities borrowing transactions, customer margin loans, and in
connection with securities-for-securities transactions in which we
are the lender of securities. We also receive securities as initial
margin on certain derivative transactions. In many instances, we
are permitted by contract to rehypothecate the securities
received as collateral. These securities may be used to secure
repurchase agreements, enter into securities lending
transactions, satisfy margin requirements on derivative
transactions or cover short positions. At August 31, 2025 and
November 30, 2024, the approximate fair value of securities
received as collateral by us that may be sold or repledged was
$45.77 billion and $37.63 billion, respectively. At August 31, 2025
and November 30, 2024, a substantial portion of the securities
received by us had been sold or repledged.
Securities Financing Agreements
To manage our exposure to credit risk associated with securities financing transactions, we may enter into master netting agreements
and collateral arrangements with counterparties. Generally, transactions are executed under standard industry agreements, including,
but not limited to, master securities lending agreements (securities lending transactions) and master repurchase agreements
(repurchase transactions).

(1)Under master netting agreements with our counterparties, we have the legal right of offset with a counterparty, which incorporates all of the counterparty’s outstanding
rights and obligations under the arrangement. These balances reflect additional credit risk mitigation that is available by a counterparty in the event of a counterparty’s
default, but which are not netted in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition because other netting provisions of U.S. GAAP are not met.
(2)Includes securities received or paid under collateral arrangements with counterparties that could be liquidated in the event of a counterparty default and thus offset
against a counterparty’s rights and obligations under the respective repurchase agreements or securities borrowing or lending arrangements.
(3)Includes $5.94 billion of securities borrowing arrangements, for which we have received securities collateral of $5.77 billion, and $520.0 million of repurchase
agreements, for which we have pledged securities collateral of $529.5 million, which are subject to master netting agreements, but we have not determined the
agreements to be legally enforceable.
(4)Includes $5.31 billion of securities borrowing arrangements, for which we have received securities collateral of $5.19 billion, and $645.0 million of repurchase

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]  
Securitization Activities Note 9. Securitization Activities
We engage in securitization activities related to corporate loans,
mortgage loans, consumer loans and mortgage-backed and other
asset-backed securities. In our securitization transactions, we
transfer these assets to special purpose entities (“SPEs”) and act
as the placement or structuring agent for the beneficial interests
sold to investors by the SPE. A portion of our securitization
transactions are the securitization of assets issued or
guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. These SPEs generally
meet the criteria of VIEs; however, we generally do not
consolidate the SPEs as we are not considered the primary
beneficiary for these SPEs. Refer to Note 10, Variable Interest
Entities for further discussion on VIEs and our determination of
the primary beneficiary.
We account for our securitization transactions as sales, provided
we have relinquished control over the transferred assets.
Transferred assets are carried at fair value with unrealized gains
and losses reflected in Principal transactions revenues prior to
the identification and isolation for securitization. Subsequently,
revenues recognized upon securitization are reflected as net
underwriting revenues. We generally receive cash proceeds in
connection with the transfer of assets to an SPE. We may,
however, have continuing involvement with the transferred
assets, which is limited to retaining one or more tranches of the
securitization (primarily senior and subordinated debt securities
in the form of mortgage-backed and other-asset backed
securities or CLOs). These securities are included in Financial
instruments owned, at fair value and are generally initially
categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Securitizations that were accounted for as sales in which we had
continuing involvement:

Total assets represent the unpaid principal amount of assets in
the SPEs in which we have continuing involvement and are
presented solely to provide information regarding the size of the
transactions and the size of the underlying assets supporting our
retained interests and are not considered representative of the
risk of potential loss. Assets retained in connection with a
securitization transaction represent the fair value of the
securities of one or more tranches issued by an SPE, including
senior and subordinated tranches. Our risk of loss is limited to
this fair value amount which is included in total Financial
instruments owned in our Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition.
Although not obligated, in connection with secondary market-
making activities we may make a market in the securities issued
by these SPEs. In these market-making transactions, we buy
these securities from and sell these securities to investors.
Securities purchased through these market-making activities are
not considered to be continuing involvement in these SPEs. To
the extent we purchased securities through these market-making
activities, and we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of
the VIE, these securities are included in agency and non-agency
mortgage-backed and asset-backed securitizations in the
nonconsolidated VIEs section presented in Note 10, Variable
Interest Entities.
v3.25.2
Variable Interest Entities
9 Months Ended
Aug. 31, 2025
Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]  
Variable Interest Entities Note 10. Variable Interest Entities
VIEs are entities in which equity investors lack the characteristics
of a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated by the
primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has
both (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most
significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2)
an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive
benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the
entity.
Our variable interests in VIEs include debt and equity interests,
commitments, guarantees and certain fees. Our involvement with
VIEs arises primarily from:
Purchases of securities in connection with our trading and
secondary market making activities;
Retained interests held as a result of securitization activities;
Acting as placement agent and/or underwriter in connection
with client-sponsored securitizations;
Financing of agency and non-agency mortgage-backed and
other asset-backed securities;
Acting as servicer for a fee to automobile loan financing
vehicles;
Warehouse funding arrangements for client-sponsored
consumer and mortgage loan vehicles and CLOs through
participation agreements, forward sale agreements, reverse
repurchase agreements, and revolving loan and note
commitments; and
Loans to, investments in and fees from various investment
vehicles.
We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE
upon our initial involvement with the VIE and we reassess
whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing
basis. Our determination of whether we are the primary
beneficiary of a VIE is based upon the facts and circumstances
for each VIE and requires judgment. Our considerations in
determining the VIE’s most significant activities and whether we
have power to direct those activities include, but are not limited
to, the VIE’s purpose and design and the risks passed through to
investors, the voting interests of the VIE, management, service
and/or other agreements of the VIE, involvement in the VIE’s
initial design and the existence of explicit or implicit financial
guarantees. In situations where we have determined that the
power over the VIE’s significant activities is shared, we assess
whether we are the party with the power over the most significant
activities. If we are the party with the power over the most
significant activities, we meet the “power” criteria of the primary
beneficiary. If we do not have the power over the most significant
activities or we determine that decisions require consent of each
sharing party, we do not meet the “power” criteria of the primary
beneficiary.
We assess our variable interests in a VIE both individually and in
aggregate to determine whether we have an obligation to absorb
losses of or a right to receive benefits from the VIE that could
potentially be significant to the VIE. The determination of whether
our variable interest is significant to the VIE requires judgment. In
determining the significance of our variable interest, we consider
the terms, characteristics and size of the variable interests, the
design and characteristics of the VIE, our involvement in the VIE
and our market-making activities related to the variable interests.

Secured Funding Vehicles. We are the primary beneficiary of
asset-backed financing vehicles to which we sell agency and non-
agency residential and commercial mortgage loans, and asset-
backed securities pursuant to the terms of a master repurchase
agreement. Our variable interests in these vehicles consist of our
collateral margin maintenance obligations under the master
repurchase agreement, which we manage, and retained interests
in securities issued. The assets of these VIEs consist of reverse
repurchase agreements, which are available for the benefit of the
vehicle’s debt holders. In addition, we also from time to time
securitize other financial instruments and own variable interests
in the securitization vehicles to the extent that we consolidate
such vehicles.
Other. We are the primary beneficiary of certain investment
vehicles that we manage for external investors and certain
investment vehicles set up for the benefit of our employees as
well as investment vehicles managed by third parties where we
have a controlling financial interest. The assets of these VIEs
consist primarily of equity securities and broker receivables. Our
variable interests in these vehicles consist of equity securities,
management and performance fees and revenue share. The
creditors of these VIEs do not have recourse to our general credit
and each such VIE’s assets are not available to satisfy any other
debt.
We are the primary beneficiary of a real estate syndication entity
that develops multi-family residential property and manages the
property. The assets of the VIE consist primarily of real estate
and its liabilities primarily consist of accrued expenses and long-
term debt secured by the real estate property. Our variable
interest in the VIE primarily consists of our limited liability
company interest, a sponsor promote and development and
asset management fees for managing the project.
We are the primary beneficiary of special purpose vehicles that
hold risk retention notes issued as part of unsecured loan asset-
backed transactions. Our variable interest in the VIEs primarily
consists of our ownership of certificates issued by the VIEs.

Our maximum exposure to loss often differs from the carrying
value of the variable interests. The maximum exposure to loss is
dependent on the nature of our variable interests in the VIEs and
is limited to the notional amounts of certain loan and equity
commitments and guarantees. Our maximum exposure to loss
does not include the offsetting benefit of any financial
instruments that may be utilized to hedge the risks associated
with our variable interests and is not reduced by the amount of
collateral held as part of a transaction with a VIE.
Collateralized Loan Obligations. Assets collateralizing the CLOs
include bank loans, participation interests, sub-investment grade
and senior secured U.S. loans, and senior secured Euro-
denominated corporate leveraged loans and bonds. We
underwrite securities issued in CLO transactions on behalf of
sponsors and provide advisory services to the sponsors. We may
also sell corporate loans to the CLOs. Our variable interests in
connection with CLOs where we have been involved in providing
underwriting and/or advisory services consist of the following:
Forward sale agreements whereby we commit to sell, at a fixed
price, corporate loans and ownership interests in an entity
holding such corporate loans to CLOs;
Warehouse funding arrangements in the form of:
Participation interests in corporate loans held by CLOs and
commitments to fund such participation interests;
Reverse repurchase agreements with collateral margin
maintenance obligations and commitments to fund such
reverse repurchase agreements; and
Senior and subordinated notes issued in connection with
CLO warehousing activities.
Trading positions in securities issued in CLO transactions; and
Investments in variable funding notes issued by CLOs.
Asset-Backed Vehicles. We provide financing and lending related
services to certain client-sponsored VIEs in the form of revolving
funding note agreements, revolving credit facilities, forward
purchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements. We
also may transfer originated corporate loans to certain VIEs and
hold subordinated interests issued by the vehicle. The underlying
assets, which are collateralizing the vehicles, are primarily
composed of unsecured consumer loans, mortgage loans and
corporate loans. In addition, we may provide structuring and
advisory services and act as an underwriter or placement agent
for securities issued by the vehicles. We do not control the
activities of these entities.
Related Party Private Equity Vehicles. We have committed to
invest in private equity funds, which are in the process of being
fully liquidated (the “JCP Funds”, including JCP Fund V (refer to
Note 11, Investments for further information)), managed by
Jefferies Capital Partners, LLC (the “JCP Manager”). Additionally,
we have committed to invest in the general partners of the JCP
Funds (the “JCP General Partners”) and the JCP Manager. Our
variable interests in the JCP Funds, JCP General Partners and
JCP Manager (collectively, the “JCP Entities”) consist of equity
interests that, in total, provide us with limited and general partner
investment returns of the JCP Funds, a portion of the carried
interest earned by the JCP General Partners and a portion of the
management fees earned by the JCP Manager. At both
August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, our total equity
commitment in the JCP Entities was $133.0 million, of which
$123.2 million had been funded. The carrying value of our equity
investments in the JCP Entities was $3.3 million and $3.2 million
at August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively. Our
exposure to loss is limited to the total of our carrying value and
unfunded equity commitment. The assets of the JCP Entities
primarily consist of private equity and equity related investments.
At both August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, we had also
committed to invest $1.0 million, of which $0.6 million was
funded in a private equity fund managed by us for the benefit of
our employees. The carrying value of our equity was $0.6 million
and $0.5 million at August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024,
respectively.
Other Investment Vehicles. At August 31, 2025 and November 30,
2024, we had equity commitments to invest $1.77 billion and
$1.43 billion, respectively, in various other investment vehicles, of
which $1.39 billion and $1.17 billion was funded, respectively.
The carrying value of our equity investments was $1.47 billion
and $1.11 billion at August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024,
respectively. Our exposure to loss is limited to the total of our
carrying value and unfunded equity commitment. These
investment vehicles have assets primarily consisting of private
and public equity investments, debt instruments, trade and
insurance claims and various oil and gas assets.
Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Secured Funding
Vehicles. In connection with our secondary trading and market-
making activities, we buy and sell agency and non-agency
mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities,
which are issued by third-party securitization SPEs and are
generally considered variable interests in VIEs. Securities issued
by securitization SPEs are backed by residential mortgage loans,
U.S. agency collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial
mortgage loans, CDOs and CLOs and other consumer loans, such
as installment receivables, automobile loans and student loans.
These securities are accounted for at fair value and included in
Financial instruments owned. We have no other involvement with
the related SPEs and therefore do not consolidate these entities.
We also engage in underwriting, placement and structuring
activities for third-party-sponsored securitization trusts generally
through agency (Fannie Mae, Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) or Ginnie Mae) or non-agency-
sponsored SPEs and may purchase loans or mortgage-backed
securities from third-parties that are subsequently transferred
into the securitization trusts. The securitizations are backed by
residential and commercial mortgage, home equity and
automobile loans. We do not consolidate agency-sponsored
securitizations as we do not have the power to direct the
activities of the SPEs that most significantly impact their
economic performance. Further, we are not the servicer of non-
agency-sponsored securitizations and therefore do not have
power to direct the most significant activities of the SPEs and
accordingly, do not consolidate these entities. We may retain
unsold senior and/or subordinated interests at the time of
securitization in the form of securities issued by the SPEs.
At August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, we held $1.16 billion
and $1.84 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities,
respectively, and $189.8 million and $201.1 million of non-agency
mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, respectively,
as a result of our secondary trading and market-making activities,
and underwriting, placement and structuring activities. Our
maximum exposure to loss on these securities is limited to the
carrying value of our investments in these securities. These
mortgage-backed and other asset-backed secured funding
vehicles discussed are not included in the above table containing
information about our variable interests in nonconsolidated VIEs.

receive financial information on a lag and the summarized
information provided for these investees is based on the latest
financial information available as of August 31, 2025,

Jefferies Finance
Jefferies Finance, our 50/50 joint venture with Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) structures,
underwrites and syndicates primarily senior secured loans to
corporate borrowers; and manages proprietary and third-party
investments in both broadly syndicated and direct lending loans.
In connection with its Leveraged Finance business, loans are
originated primarily through our investment banking efforts and
Jefferies Finance typically syndicates to third-party investors
substantially all of its arranged volume through us. The Asset
Management business is a multi-strategy private credit platform
that manages proprietary and third-party capital across
commingled funds, funds-of-one, separately managed accounts,
business development companies, CLOs and levered balance
sheet funds. Broadly syndicated loan investments are sourced
through transactions arranged by Jefferies Finance and third-
party arrangers and managed through its subsidiary, Apex Credit
Partners LLC. Direct lending investments are primarily sourced
through us. Jefferies Finance and its subsidiaries that are
involved in investment management are registered investment
advisers with the SEC.
At August 31, 2025, we and MassMutual each had equity
commitments to Jefferies Finance of $750.0 million, for a
combined total commitment of $1.5 billion. The equity
commitment is reduced quarterly based on our share of any
undistributed earnings from Jefferies Finance and the
commitment is increased only to the extent the share of such
earnings are distributed. At August 31, 2025, our unfunded
commitment to Jefferies Finance was $15.4 million. The
investment commitment is scheduled to expire on March 1, 2026
with automatic one year extensions absent a 60 day termination
notice by either party.
Jefferies Finance has executed a Secured Revolving Credit
Facility with us and MassMutual, to be funded equally, to support
loan underwritings by Jefferies Finance, which bears interest
based on the interest rates of the related Jefferies Finance
underwritten loans and is secured by the underlying loans funded
by the proceeds of the facility. The total Secured Revolving Credit
Facility is a committed amount of $500.0 million at August 31,
2025. Advances are shared equally between us and MassMutual.
The facility is scheduled to mature on March 1, 2026 with
automatic one year extensions absent a 60 day termination
notice by either party. At August 31, 2025, our $250.0 million
commitment was undrawn.

Real Estate Investments
Our real estate equity method investments primarily consist of
our equity interests in Brooklyn Renaissance Plaza and Hotel and
54 Madison. Brooklyn Renaissance Plaza is composed of a hotel,
office building complex and parking garage located in Brooklyn,
New York. We have a 25.4% equity interest in the hotel and a
61.3% equity interest in the office building and garage. Although
we have a majority interest in the office building and garage, we
do not have control, but only have the ability to exercise
significant influence on this investment. We are amortizing our
basis difference between the estimated fair value and the
underlying book value of Brooklyn Renaissance office building
and garage over the respective useful lives (weighted average life
of 39 years).
We own a 48.1% equity interest in 54 Madison, a fund that most
recently owned an interest in one real estate project and the fund
is in the process of being liquidated.

ApiJect at both August 31, 2025 and at November 30, 2024,
which are accounted for at fair value by electing the fair value
option available under U.S. GAAP, and are included within
corporate equity securities in Financial instruments owned, at fair
value. At both August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, the total
fair value of our total equity investment in common shares of
ApiJect was $116.1 million, which is classified within Level 3 of
the fair value hierarchy.
Additionally, we own warrants to purchase up to 950,000 shares
of common stock at any time or from time to time on or before
April 15, 2032, and we have a right to 1.125% of ApiJect’s future
revenues.
We also have a term loan agreement with a principal of ApiJect
for $23.3 million, which matures on October 31, 2025. The loan is
accounted for at amortized cost and is reported within Other
assets. The loan has a fair value of $23.3 million at both
August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, which would be
classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

$1.0 million on the loan during the nine months ended August 31,

million and $37.1 million at August 31, 2025 and November 30,
2024, respectively, and are classified within Level 3 of the fair

In September 2024, we provided a €15.0 million loan, maturing in
November 2025, to an individual related to the seller, secured by
a privately owned aircraft and guaranteed by the individual. We
recognized interest income of $0.5 million and $1.5 million for
the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2025,
respectively.
During 2024, we classified the airplanes related to the sale
leaseback transaction as held for sale. Effective with the
designation of the airplanes as held for sale, we suspended
recording depreciation on these assets. The airplanes were
included within Assets held for sale on our Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition and had a carrying amount of
$51.9 million at November 30, 2024. During the second quarter of

Credit Loss [Abstract]  
Credit Losses on Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost Note 12. Credit Losses on Financial Assets Measured at
Amortized Cost
Secured Financing Receivables. In evaluating secured financing
receivables (reverse repurchases agreements, securities
borrowing arrangements, and margin loans), the underlying
collateral maintenance provisions are taken into consideration.
The underlying contractual collateral maintenance for
significantly all of our secured financing receivables requires that
the counterparty continually adjust the collateralization amount,
securing the credit exposure on these contracts. Collateralization
levels for our secured financing receivables are initially
established based upon the counterparty, the type of acceptable
collateral that is monitored daily and adjusted to mitigate the
potential of any credit losses. Credit losses are not recognized
for secured financing receivables where the underlying
collateral’s fair value is equal to or exceeds the asset’s amortized
cost basis. In cases where the collateral’s fair value does not
equal or exceed the amortized cost basis, the allowance for
credit losses, if any, is limited to the difference between the fair
value of the collateral at the reporting date and the amortized
cost basis of the financial assets.
Broker Receivables. Our receivables from brokers, dealers, and
clearing organizations include deposits of cash with exchange
clearing organizations to meet margin requirements, amounts
due from clearing organizations for daily variation settlements,
securities failed-to-deliver or receive and receivables and
payables for fees and commissions. These receivables generally
do not give rise to material credit risk and have a remote
probability of default either because of their short-term nature or
due to the credit protection framework inherent in the design and
operations of brokers, dealers and clearing organizations. As
such, generally, no allowance for credit losses is held against
these receivables.
Investment Banking Fee Receivables. Our allowance for credit
losses on our investment banking fee receivables uses a
provisioning matrix based on the shared risk characteristics and
historical loss experience for such receivables. In some
instances, we may adjust the allowance calculated based on the
provision matrix to incorporate a specific allowance based on the
unique credit risk profile of a receivable. The provisioning matrix
is periodically updated to reflect changes in the underlying
portfolio’s credit characteristics and most recent historical loss
data.

financial assets’ life as of the reporting date based on relevant
information about past events, current conditions, and
reasonable and supportable forecasts. During the nine months
ended August 31, 2024, we recognized bad debt expense of
$26.2 million related to receivables associated with our asset
management arrangements with Weiss Multi-Strategy Advisers.

Goodwill Impairment Testing
The quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed at the
level of the reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating
segment or one level below an operating segment. The fair value
of each reporting unit is compared with its carrying value,
including goodwill and allocated intangible assets. If the fair
value is in excess of the carrying value, the goodwill for the
reporting unit is considered not to be impaired. If the fair value is
less than the carrying value, then an impairment loss is
recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the
reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. Allocated
tangible equity plus allocated goodwill and intangible assets are
used for the carrying amount of each reporting unit.
We test goodwill allocated to our Investment Banking, Equities,
Fixed Income and Asset Management reporting units annually on
August 1 and test goodwill allocated to other individual
investments annually on November 30. Our annual goodwill
impairment testing at August 1, 2025 did not indicate any
goodwill impairment in any of our Investment Banking, Equities
and Fixed Income reporting units, which are part of our
Investment Banking and Capital Markets reportable segment and
did not indicate any goodwill impairment in our Asset
Management reporting unit. The results of our assessment
indicated that each of these reporting units had a fair value in
excess of their carrying amounts based on current projections.
Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit requires management
judgment. Estimated fair values for our reporting units were
determined using methodologies that include a market valuation
method that incorporated price-toearnings and price-to-book
multiples of comparable public companies and/or projected cash
flows. Under the market valuation approach, the key assumptions
are the selected multiples and our internally developed
projections of future profitability, growth and return on equity for
each reporting unit. The weight assigned to the multiples requires
judgment in qualitatively and quantitatively evaluating the size,
profitability and the nature of the business activities of the
reporting units as compared to the comparable publicly-traded
companies. In addition, as the fair values determined under the
market valuation approach represent a noncontrolling interest,
we applied a control premium to arrive at the estimated fair value
of each reporting unit on a controlling basis. We engaged an
independent valuation specialist to assist us in our valuation
process at August 1.

At August 1, 2025 we performed our annual impairment testing
of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life consisting of
exchange and clearing organization membership interests and
registrations. We utilized quantitative assessments of
membership interests and registrations that have available
quoted sales prices as well as certain other membership
interests and registrations that have declined in utilization and
qualitative assessments were performed on the remainder of our
indefinite-life intangible assets. With regard to our qualitative
assessments of the remaining indefinite life intangible assets,
based on our assessments of market conditions, the utilization of
the assets and the replacement costs associated with the assets,
we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the
intangible assets are impaired.
Amortization Expense
For finite life intangible assets, we recognized aggregate
amortization expense of $8.6 million and $25.0 million for the
three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, respectively, and
$8.2 million and $22.3 million for the three and nine months
ended August 31, 2024, respectively. These expenses are
included in Depreciation and amortization.

Information on Remaining Performance Obligations and Revenue
Recognized from Past Performance
We do not disclose information about remaining performance
obligations pertaining to contracts that have an original expected
duration of one year or less. The transaction price allocated to
remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance
obligations with an original expected duration exceeding one year
was not material at August 31, 2025. Investment banking
advisory fees that are contingent upon completion of a specific
milestone and fees associated with certain distribution services
are also excluded as the fees are considered variable and not
included in the transaction price.
During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, we
recognized $36.1 million and $83.8 million, respectively,
compared with $39.2 million and $39.7 million during the three
and nine months ended August 31, 2024, respectively, of revenue
related to performance obligations satisfied (or partially
satisfied) in previous periods, mainly due to resolving
uncertainties in variable consideration that was constrained in
prior periods. In addition, three and nine months ended August
31, 2025, we recognized $8.5 million and $24.0 million,
respectively, compared with $8.6 million and $23.8 million during
the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024, respectively,
of revenues primarily associated with distribution services, a
portion of which relates to prior periods.
Contract Balances
The timing of our revenue recognition may differ from the timing
of payment by our customers. We record a receivable when
revenue is recognized prior to payment and we have an
unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment
precedes the provision of the related services, we record deferred
revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.
Our deferred revenue primarily relates to retainer and milestone
fees received in investment banking advisory engagements
where the performance obligation has not yet been satisfied.
Deferred revenue at August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024
was $84.8 million and $79.1 million, respectively, which is
recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities. During the
three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, we recognized
revenues of $44.8 million and $52.8 million, respectively,
compared with $35.0 million and $33.2 million for the three and
nine months ended August 31, 2024, respectively, that were
recorded as deferred revenue at the beginning of the periods.
We had receivables related to revenues from contracts with
customers of $324.4 million and $275.9 million at August 31,
2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively.
Contract Costs
We capitalize costs to fulfill contracts associated with
investment banking advisory engagements where the revenue is
recognized at a point in time and the costs are determined to be
recoverable. Capitalized costs to fulfill a contract are recognized
at the point in time that the related revenue is recognized.
At August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, capitalized costs to
fulfill a contract were $7.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively,
which are recorded in Receivables – Fees, interest and other.
During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, we
recognized expenses of $1.3 million and $1.9 million, compared
with $1.2 million and $1.9 million during the three and nine
months ended August 31, 2024, related to costs to fulfill a
contract that were capitalized as of the beginning of the period.
There were no significant impairment charges recognized in
relation to these capitalized costs during the three and nine
months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024.

Compensation Plans Note 15. Compensation Plans
For a description of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, the
Senior Executive Compensation Plan and other compensation
plans refer to Note 15. Compensation Plans in our consolidated
financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2024.
At August 31, 2025, there were approximately 2.2 million shares
of restricted stock outstanding with future service required,
4.5 million RSUs outstanding with future service required
(including target RSUs that may be issued under the senior
executive compensation plan), 9.7 million RSUs outstanding with
no future service required, and 5.1 million stock options
outstanding. The maximum potential increase to common shares
outstanding resulting from these outstanding awards is
19.3 million at August 31, 2025.
In December 2024, the Compensation Committee of our Board of
Directors granted RSUs and performance stock units (“PSUs”) to
each of our senior executives as follows:

of 15% or greater results in earning 150% of target PSUs and between 7.5% to
15%, the level of earning PSUs is linearly interpolated.
In addition, we sponsor non-share-based compensation plans.
Non-share-based compensation plans sponsored by us include a
profit sharing plan and other forms of restricted cash awards.
Restricted cash awards are subject to ratable vesting terms with
service requirements. These awards are amortized as
compensation expense over the relevant service period, which is
generally considered to start at the beginning of the annual
compensation year.

(1)Short-term borrowings mature in one year or less and are recorded at cost,
which is a reasonable approximation of their fair values due to their liquid and
short-term nature.
At August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, the weighted
average interest rate on bank loans outstanding is 5.18% and
6.25% per annum, respectively.
Our borrowings include credit facilities that contain certain
covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain a
specified level of tangible net worth, require a minimum
regulatory net capital requirement for our U.S. broker-dealer,
Jefferies LLC, and impose certain restrictions on the future
indebtedness of certain of our subsidiaries that are borrowers.
Interest is based on rates at spreads over the federal funds rate
or other adjusted rates, as defined in the various credit
agreements, or at a rate as agreed between the bank and us in
reference to the bank’s cost of funding. At August 31, 2025, we
were in compliance with all covenants under these credit
facilities.

(1)Structured notes have various interest rate payment terms and are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value resulting from non-credit components
recognized in Principal transactions revenues. The structured notes are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. All of our long-term debt with exception
of certain of the structured notes would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
(2)Carrying values of certain borrowings, totaling $2.67 billion and $2.04 billion for August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively, include cumulative hedging
adjustments of $153.5 million and $193.7 million at August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively, associated with interest rate swaps based on designation as
fair value hedges. Refer to Note 7, Derivative Financial Instruments for further information.
(3)Includes $65.5 million maturing on August 31, 2025 which has subsequently been extended.
(4)Carrying values include unamortized discounts and premiums, valuation adjustments and debt issuance costs. At August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, our
borrowings under several credit facilities classified within Long-term debt amounted to $1.20 billion and $775.3 million, respectively. Interest on these credit facilities is
based on an adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread or other adjusted rates, as defined in the various credit agreements. Additionally, certain
of our borrowings are under agreements containing covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain specified levels of tangible net worth and liquidity
amounts, certain credit and rating levels and impose certain restrictions on future indebtedness of and require specified levels of regulated capital and cash reserves for
certain of our subsidiaries. At August 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under theses credit agreements.
(5)Interest rates exclude structured notes.
During the nine months ended August 31, 2025, long-term debt
increased by $2.48 billion to $16.01 billion at August 31, 2025
primarily due to proceeds of $350.0 million from the drawdown
of an unsecured credit facility, $1.00 billion from the issuances of
unsecured senior notes, $527.2 million from net issuances of
structured notes, $1.01 billion from increased subsidiaries
borrowings and $326.4 million from currency losses on foreign
currency borrowings. These increases were partially offset by
repayments of $775.4 million on unsecured senior notes.

Equity [Abstract]  
Total Equity Note 17. Total EquityCommon Stock
At August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, we had 565,000,000
authorized shares of voting common stock with a par value of
$1.00 per share. At August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, we
had outstanding 206,280,296 and 205,504,272 common shares
outstanding, respectively.
The Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of
common stock up to $250.0 million under a share repurchase
program. Treasury stock repurchases during the three and nine
months ended August 31, 2025 represent repurchases of
common stock for net-share tax withholding under our equity
compensation plan.
Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Shares
On April 27, 2023, we established Series B Non-Voting
Convertible Preferred Shares with a par value of $1.00 per share
(“Series B Preferred Stock”) and designated 70,000 shares as
Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a
liquidation preference of $17,500 per share and rank senior to our
voting common stock upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. Each share of Series B Preferred
Stock is automatically convertible into 500 shares of non-voting
common stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, three
years after issuance. The Series B Preferred Stock participates in
cash dividends and distributions alongside our voting common
stock on an as-converted basis.
Additionally, on April 27, 2023, we entered into an Exchange
Agreement with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”),
which entitles SMBC to exchange shares of our voting common
stock for shares of the Series B Preferred Stock at a rate of 500
shares of voting common stock for one share of Series B
Preferred Stock. The Exchange Agreement is limited to 55,125
shares of Preferred Stock and SMBC will pay $1.50 per share of
voting common stock so exchanged. As of November 30, 2024,
SMBC had cumulatively exchanged approximately 27.6 million
shares of voting common stock for 55,125 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock. Following this exchange, SMBC increased its
ownership of our common stock on an as-converted basis and
fully-diluted, as-converted basis. As a result, the CEO of
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. was elected and now
serves on our Board of Directors. On September 19, 2024, SMBC
purchased 9.2 million shares of our common stock. At August 31,
2025, SMBC owns approximately 15.7% of our common stock on
an as-converted basis and 14.5% on a fully-diluted, as-converted
basis. Refer to Note 22, Related Party Transactions for further
information regarding transactions with SMBC.
On September 19, 2025, our Board of Directors established Series
B-1 Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Shares with a par value of
$1.00 per share (“Series B-1 Preferred Stock”) and designated
17,500 shares as Series B-1 Preferred Stock. The Series B-1
Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $500 per share
and ranks senior to our voting common stock and equal to the
Series B Preferred Stock upon dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. Each share of Series B-1
Preferred Stock is automatically convertible into 500 shares of
non-voting common stock as soon as such non-voting common
stock exists, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The
Series B-1 Preferred Stock also participates in cash dividends
and distributions alongside our voting common stock on an as-
converted basis.
Additionally, on September 19, 2025, we entered into an amended
and restated Exchange Agreement (the “Amended and Restated
Exchange Agreement”) with SMBC, which entitles SMBC to
exchange shares of our voting common stock for shares of the
Series B-1 Preferred Stock at a rate of 500 shares of voting
common stock for one share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock. The
Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement is limited to 17,500
shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock. Under the Amended and
Restated Exchange Agreement, SMBC is permitted to increase its
economic ownership in the Company to up to 20% on an as-
converted and fully diluted basis, while continuing to own less
than 5% of a voting interest in the Company.

Net losses are not allocated to participating securities. Participating securities represent certain preferred stock, restricted stock and RSUs for
which requisite service has not yet been rendered and amounted to weighted average shares of 27.6 million for both the three and nine months
ended August 31, 2025, respectively, compared with 26.3 million and 22.9 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024,

$9.8 million.
Additionally, at August 31, 2025, we had other outstanding equity
commitments to invest up to $232.1 million with strategic
affiliates and $40.7 million to various other investments.
Loan Commitments. From time to time, we make commitments
to extend credit to clients and to strategic affiliates. These
commitments and any related drawdowns of these facilities
typically have fixed maturity dates and are contingent on certain
representations, warranties and contractual conditions applicable
to the borrower. At August 31, 2025, we had outstanding loan
commitments of $99.4 million to clients and $9.6 million to a
strategic affiliate.

Guarantees
Derivative Contracts. As a dealer, we make markets and trade in a
variety of derivative instruments. Certain derivative contracts that
we have entered into meet the accounting definition of a
guarantee under U.S. GAAP, including credit default swaps,
written foreign currency options and written equity put options.
On certain of these contracts, such as written interest rate caps
and foreign currency options, the maximum payout cannot be
quantified since the increase in interest or foreign exchange rates
are not contractually limited by the terms of the contract. As
such, we have disclosed notional values as a measure of our
maximum potential payout under these contracts.

The derivative contracts deemed to meet the definition of a
guarantee under U.S. GAAP are before consideration of hedging
transactions and only reflect a partial or “one-sided” component
of any risk exposure. Written equity options and written credit
default swaps are often executed in a strategy that is in tandem
with long cash instruments (e.g., equity and debt securities). We
substantially mitigate our exposure to market risk on these
contracts through hedges, such as other derivative contracts
and/or cash instruments, and we manage the risk associated
with these contracts in the context of our overall risk
management framework. We believe notional amounts overstate
our expected payout and that fair value of these contracts is a
more relevant measure of our obligations. At August 31, 2025,
the fair value of derivative contracts meeting the definition of a
guarantee is approximately $382.4 million.
HomeFed. For real estate development projects, we are generally
required to obtain infrastructure improvement bonds at the
beginning of construction work and warranty bonds upon
completion of such improvements. These bonds are issued by
surety companies to guarantee a municipality satisfactory
completion of a project. As the planned area is developed and the
municipality accepts the improvements, the bonds are released.
At August 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of infrastructure
improvement bonds outstanding was $68.2 million.
Standby Letters of Credit. At August 31, 2025, we provided
guarantees to certain counterparties in the form of standby
letters of credit in the amount of $345.6 million, with a weighted
average maturity of less than one year. Standby letters of credit
commit us to make payment to the beneficiary if the guaranteed
party fails to fulfill its obligation under a contractual arrangement
with that beneficiary. Since commitments associated with these
collateral instruments may expire unused, the amount shown
does not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding
requirement.
Other Guarantees. We are members of various exchanges and
clearing houses. In the normal course of business, we provide
guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges. These
guarantees generally are required under the standard
membership agreements, such that members are required to
guarantee the performance of other members. Additionally, if a
member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing
house, other members would be required to meet these
shortfalls. To mitigate these performance risks, the exchanges
and clearing houses often require members to post collateral.
Our obligations under such guarantees could exceed the
collateral amounts posted. Our maximum potential liability under
these arrangements cannot be quantified; however, the potential
for us to be required to make payments under such guarantees is
deemed remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for
these arrangements. Additionally, we provide certain
indemnifications in connection with third-party clearing and
execution arrangements whereby a third-party may clear and
settle transactions on behalf of our clients. These
indemnifications generally have standard contractual terms and
are entered into in the ordinary course of business. Our
obligations in respect of such transactions are secured by the
assets in our client’s account, as well as any proceeds received
from the transactions cleared and settled on behalf of our client.
However, we believe that it is unlikely we would have to make any
material payments under these arrangements and no material
liabilities related to these indemnifications have been recognized.

Regulatory Requirements Note 20. Regulatory Requirements
Net Capital
Jefferies LLC is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a
member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(“FINRA”) and is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule
(“Rule 15c3-1”), which requires the maintenance of minimum net
capital, and has elected to calculate minimum capital
requirements using the alternative method permitted by Rule
15c3-1 in calculating net capital. Jefferies LLC, as a dually-
registered U.S. broker-dealer and futures commission merchant
(“FCM”), is also subject to Regulation 1.17 of the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) under the Commodity
Exchange Act (“CEA”), which sets forth minimum financial
requirements. The minimum net capital requirement in
determining excess net capital for a dually registered U.S. broker-
dealer and FCM is equal to the greater of the requirement under
SEA Rule 15c3-1 or CFTC Regulation 1.17. Accordingly, FINRA is
the designated examining authority for Jefferies LLC and the
National Futures Association (“NFA”) is the designated self-
regulatory organization (“DSRO”) for Jefferies LLC as an FCM.
Jefferies Financial Services, Inc. (“JFSI”) is registered with the
SEC as a Security-Based Swap Dealer (“SBS Dealer”) and an OTC
Derivatives Dealer (“OTCDD”) subject to the SEC’s SBS dealer
regulatory rules and the SEC’s net capital requirements pursuant
to Rule 18a-1. JFSI is also registered as a swap dealer with the
CFTC and is subject to the CFTC’s regulatory capital
requirements pursuant to the minimum financial requirements for
swap dealers under CFTC Regulation 23.101. Additionally, as a
registered member firm, JFSI is subject to the net capital
requirements of the NFA. Accordingly, the SEC is the designated
examining authority for JFSI in its capacity as an SBS Dealer and
OTCDD, while the NFA is the DSRO for JFSI, as a CFTC registered
swap dealer.
Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to capital adequacy
requirements as prescribed by the regulatory authorities in their
respective jurisdictions. This includes Jefferies International
Limited which is subject to the regulatory supervision and
requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) in the
U.K. Jefferies International Limited’s’ own funds requirement
represents the highest of the permanent minimum capital
requirement, fixed overheads requirement and k-factor
requirements set out in the Investment Firms Prudential Regime
(“IFPR”) under the FCA’s MIFIDPRU sourcebook.
At August 31, 2025, Jefferies LLC’s and JFSI’s net capital and
excess net capital were as follows:

In addition, the equivalent capital requirement for Jefferies
International Limited, on a consolidated basis, is a total capital of
$2.02 billion and an excess capital of $1.15 billion at August 31,
2025.
At August 31, 2025, Jefferies LLC, JFSI and JIL are in compliance
with their applicable requirements.
The regulatory capital requirements referred to above may
restrict our ability to withdraw capital from our regulated
subsidiaries.
Customer Protection and Segregation Requirement
As a registered broker dealer that clears and carries customer
accounts, Jefferies LLC is subject to the customer protection
provisions under SEC Rule 15c3-3 and is required to compute a
reserve formula requirement for customer accounts and deposit
cash or qualified securities into a special reserve bank account
for the exclusive benefit of customers. At August 31, 2025,
Jefferies LLC had $875.6 million in cash and qualified U.S.
Government securities on deposit in special reserve bank
accounts for the exclusive benefit of customers.
As a registered broker dealer that clears and carries proprietary
accounts of brokers or dealers (commonly referred to as “PAB”),
Jefferies LLC is also required to compute a reserve requirement
for PABs pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3. At August 31, 2025,
Jefferies LLC had $437.8 million in cash and qualified U.S.
Government securities in special reserve bank accounts for the
exclusive benefit of PABs.
The qualified securities meeting the 15c3-3 customer and PAB
requirements are included in Cash and securities segregated and
Securities purchased under agreements to resell.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Note 21. Segment Reporting
We operate in two reportable business segments: (1) Investment
Banking and Capital Markets and (2) Asset Management. The
Investment Banking and Capital Markets reportable business
segment includes our capital markets activities and our
investment banking business, which provides underwriting and
financial advisory services to our clients. We operate in the
Americas; Europe and the Middle East; and Asia-Pacific.
Investment Banking and Capital Markets also includes our
corporate lending joint venture Jefferies Finance, our commercial
real estate joint venture Berkadia and historically our automobile
lending and servicing activities. The Asset Management
reportable business segment provides alternative investment
management services to investors in the U.S. and overseas and
generates investment income from capital invested in and
managed by us or our affiliated asset managers, and includes
certain remaining businesses and assets of our legacy merchant
banking portfolio.
Our reportable business segment information is prepared using
the following methodologies:
Net revenues and non-interest expenses directly associated
with each reportable business segment are included in
determining earnings from continuing operations before
income taxes.
Net revenues and non-interest expenses not directly
associated with specific reportable business segments are
allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable,
including each reportable business segment’s net revenues,
headcount and other factors.
Reportable business segment assets include an allocation of
indirect corporate assets that have been fully allocated to our
reportable business segments, generally based on each
reportable business segment’s capital utilization.
Net revenues presented for our Investment Banking and Capital
Markets reportable segment include allocations of interest
income and interest expense as we assess the profitability of
these businesses inclusive of the net interest revenue or expense
associated with the respective activities, including the net
interest cost of allocated long-term debt, which is a function of
the mix of each business's associated assets and liabilities and
the related funding costs.

Officers, Directors and Employees
The following sets forth information regarding related party
transactions with our officers, directors and employees:
At August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, we had $19.7
million and $29.4 million, respectively, of loans, net of
allowance, outstanding to certain of our officers and
employees (none of whom are executive officers or directors)
that are included in Other assets.
Receivables from and payables to customers include balances
arising from officers’, directors’ and employees’ individual
security transactions. These transactions are subject to the
same regulations as all customer transactions and are
provided on substantially the same terms.
Two of our directors and certain of our officers have total

$9.2 million and $5.0 million at August 31, 2025 and
November 30, 2024, respectively.
SMBC
We have a strategic alliance with Sumitomo Mitsui Financial
Group, Inc., Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”) and
SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. (together referred to as “SMBC
Group”) to collaborate on corporate and investment banking
business opportunities as well as equity sales, trading and
research.
On September 19, 2025, we and the SMBC Group announced a
significant expansion of our global strategic alliance. Key
developments include:
A planned formation of a joint venture in Japan to integrate our
Japanese equities platform with SMBC Group’s domestic
equity research, sales, trading, and equity capital markets
businesses, expected to launch in January 2027;
Expansion of joint sponsor coverage in EMEA, targeting larger
sponsors with our combined investment banking and
corporate banking capabilities;
SMBC Group’s intent to increase its economic ownership from
14.5% to 20% (on an as-converted and fully diluted basis), while
maintaining less than 5% voting interest; and
SMBC Group’s commitment to provide approximately
$2.5 billion in new credit facilities to us and Jefferies Finance.
These initiatives are designed to deepen the partnership, leverage
complementary strengths, and deliver enhanced services to
clients
The following tables summarize balances with SMBC as reported
in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and
Consolidated Statements of Earnings. In addition, the synergies
and value creation resulting from our strategic alliance with
SMBC generate additive benefits for us, which are not necessarily

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
9 Months Ended
Aug. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with
our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
November 30, 2024. Certain footnote disclosures included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30,
2024 have been condensed or omitted from the consolidated
financial statements as they are not required for interim reporting
under U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of
the results for the interim period. The results presented in our
consolidated financial statements for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.
We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating
to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period to prepare
these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP. The most important of these estimates and assumptions
relate to fair value measurements, compensation and benefits,
goodwill and intangible assets and the accounting for income
taxes. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are
based on the best available information, actual results could be
materially different from these estimates.
Consolidation Consolidation
Our policy is to consolidate all entities that we control by
ownership of a majority of the outstanding voting stock. In
addition, we consolidate entities that meet the definition of a
variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary
beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has the
power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly
impact the entity’s economic performance and who has an
obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive
benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the
entity. For consolidated entities that are less than wholly-owned,
the third-party’s holding of equity interest is presented as
Noncontrolling interests in our Consolidated Statements of
Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Changes in
Equity. The portion of net earnings attributable to the
noncontrolling interests is presented as Net earnings (losses)
attributable to noncontrolling interests in our Consolidated
Statements of Earnings.
In situations in which we have significant influence, but not
control, of an entity that does not qualify as a VIE, we apply either
the equity method of accounting or fair value accounting
pursuant to the fair value option election under U.S. GAAP, with
our portion of net earnings or gains and losses recorded in Other
revenues or Principal transactions revenues, respectively. We
also have formed nonconsolidated investment vehicles with
third-party investors that are typically organized as partnerships
or limited liability companies and are carried at fair value. We act
as general partner or managing member for these investment
vehicles and have generally provided the third-party investors
with termination or “kick-out” rights.
Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.
Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods
Segment Reporting. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07 (“ASU
2023-07”), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.
The guidance primarily will require enhanced disclosures about
significant segment expenses. The amendments in ASU 2023-07
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023,
and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and are to be applied on
a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact of the
standard on our segment reporting disclosures and will
implement these disclosures commencing with our fiscal year
ending November 30, 2025.
Income Taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No.
2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Improvements to Income Tax
Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve income tax
disclosure requirements by requiring (i) consistent categories
and greater disaggregation of information in the rate
reconciliation and (ii) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by
jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to the
income tax disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU
2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and are required to be
applied prospectively with the option of retrospective application.
We are evaluating the impact of the standard on our income tax
disclosures.
Expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03
(“ASU 2024-03”), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.
The guidance primarily will require enhanced disclosures about
certain types of expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and
interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2027 and may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective
basis. We are evaluating the impact of the standard on our
disclosures.
Credit Losses. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05
(“ASU 2025-05”), Financial Instruments–Credit Losses. The
guidance provides an optional practical expedient when applying
the guidance related to the estimation of expected credit losses
for current accounts receivable and current contract assets
resulting from transactions arising from contracts with
customers. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim
reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are
evaluating the impact of the standard on our financial
statements.
Internal-Use Software. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2025-06 (“ASU 2025-06”), Intangibles–Goodwill and Other–
Internal-Use Software. The guidance modernizes and clarifies the
threshold for when an entity is required to start capitalizing
software costs and is based on when (i) management has
authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii)
it is probable that the project will be completed and the software
will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments
in ASU 2025-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods, with early
adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of the standard
on our disclosures.
Derivatives and Hedging and Revenue from Contracts with
Customers. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No.
2025-07 (“ASU 2025-07”), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)
and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The
guidance refines the scope of Topic 815 to clarify which
contracts are subject to derivative accounting. The guidance also
provides clarification under Topic 606 for share-based payments
from a customer in a revenue contract. The amendments in ASU
2025-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2026, and interim reporting periods, with early adoption
permitted. We are evaluating the impact of the standard on our
disclosures.

(1)Under master netting agreements with our counterparties, we have the legal right of offset with a counterparty, which incorporates all of the counterparty’s outstanding
rights and obligations under the arrangement. These balances reflect additional credit risk mitigation that is available by a counterparty in the event of a counterparty’s
default, but which are not netted in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition because other netting provisions of U.S. GAAP are not met.
(2)Includes securities received or paid under collateral arrangements with counterparties that could be liquidated in the event of a counterparty default and thus offset
against a counterparty’s rights and obligations under the respective repurchase agreements or securities borrowing or lending arrangements.
(3)Includes $5.94 billion of securities borrowing arrangements, for which we have received securities collateral of $5.77 billion, and $520.0 million of repurchase
agreements, for which we have pledged securities collateral of $529.5 million, which are subject to master netting agreements, but we have not determined the
agreements to be legally enforceable.
(4)Includes $5.31 billion of securities borrowing arrangements, for which we have received securities collateral of $5.19 billion, and $645.0 million of repurchase

(1)Structured notes have various interest rate payment terms and are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value resulting from non-credit components
recognized in Principal transactions revenues. The structured notes are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. All of our long-term debt with exception
of certain of the structured notes would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
(2)Carrying values of certain borrowings, totaling $2.67 billion and $2.04 billion for August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively, include cumulative hedging
adjustments of $153.5 million and $193.7 million at August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively, associated with interest rate swaps based on designation as
fair value hedges. Refer to Note 7, Derivative Financial Instruments for further information.
(3)Includes $65.5 million maturing on August 31, 2025 which has subsequently been extended.
(4)Carrying values include unamortized discounts and premiums, valuation adjustments and debt issuance costs. At August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, our
borrowings under several credit facilities classified within Long-term debt amounted to $1.20 billion and $775.3 million, respectively. Interest on these credit facilities is
based on an adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread or other adjusted rates, as defined in the various credit agreements. Additionally, certain
of our borrowings are under agreements containing covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain specified levels of tangible net worth and liquidity
amounts, certain credit and rating levels and impose certain restrictions on future indebtedness of and require specified levels of regulated capital and cash reserves for
certain of our subsidiaries. At August 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under theses credit agreements.

ended August 31, 2025, respectively, compared with 26.3 million and 22.9 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2024,
