Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Jefferies Group LLC is the largest independent U.S.-headquartered global full service, integrated investment banking and capital markets firm. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements represent the accounts of Jefferies Group LLC and all our subsidiaries (together “we” or “us”). The subsidiaries of Jefferies Group LLC include Jefferies LLC, Jefferies International Limited, Jefferies GmbH, Jefferies Hong Kong Limited, Jefferies Financial Services, Inc. (“JFSI”), Jefferies Funding LLC, Jefferies Leveraged Credit Products, LLC and all other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest or are the primary beneficiary.
Jefferies Group LLC is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of publicly traded Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (“Jefferies”). Jefferies does not guarantee any of our outstanding debt securities. Jefferies Group LLC is a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reporting company, filing annual, quarterly and periodic financial reports. Richard Handler, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is the Chief Executive Officer of Jefferies, as well as a Director of Jefferies. Brian P. Friedman, our Chairman of the Executive Committee, is Jefferies’ President and a Director of Jefferies.
We operate in two reportable business segments: (1) Investment Banking and Capital Markets and (2) Asset Management. For further information on our reportable business segments, refer to Note 17, Segment Reporting.
Transfers from Jefferies
On December 1, 2021, Jefferies transferred certain loans and certain investments in securities and limited partnerships to us. In addition, Jefferies transferred its investment in Foursight, a subsidiary of Jefferies, to us. These transfers were accomplished as a capital contribution from Jefferies, and since we are under common control, these loans and investments and the assets and liabilities of Foursight were recorded at their carrying amounts. As a result of these transfers, our total assets increased by $1.27 billion, total liabilities increased by $800.4 million and total equity increased by $476.5 million in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. Included in the total assets increase is cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash transferred of approximately $60.3 million included as financing activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended August 31, 2022.
The transferred securities and limited partnership interests are subsequently accounted for in accordance with our existing accounting policies for Financial instruments owned and Loans to and investments in related parties. Certain transferred loans have been classified within Other assets in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and are accounted for at amortized cost as the transfer did not qualify as an event upon which the fair value option for these loans could be elected. Principal transactions revenues related to the change in fair value of the investments classified in Financial instruments owned, at fair value, Other revenue related to our share of the investees’ earnings for investments classified in Loans to and investments in related parties and interest income on transferred loans are included within our results of operations as of the period beginning December 1, 2021 in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and, accordingly, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022 in our Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
From December 1, 2021, Foursight is consolidated by us. Foursight is engaged primarily in automobile lending. The net assets of Foursight in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition consist primarily of automobile loans classified within Receivables—Fees, interest and other and are accounted for at amortized cost, with a provision for current expected credit losses, and Other secured financings. The results of operations of Foursight, which consist primarily of Interest income, Other revenues related to servicing activities and operating expenses are included within our results of operations as of the period beginning December 1, 2021 and, accordingly, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022 in our Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
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, 2021. Certain footnote disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2021 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
(Unaudited)
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, the ability to realize certain deferred tax assets and the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be materially different from these estimates.

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 (loss) 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.
Merger of Jefferies Group LLC into Jefferies
On July 19, 2022, Jefferies announced strategic transactions, including the simplification of its corporate structure by merging us into them.

Credit Losses on Certain Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost
On December 1, 2021, Jefferies transferred its investment in Foursight, a subsidiary of Jefferies, to us. Foursight is engaged primarily in automobile lending. At August 31, 2022, we had automobile loans, including accrued interest and related fees, of $887.7 million, which are classified as either held for investment or held for sale depending on the intent to hold the underlying collateral and which are collateralized by a security interest in the vehicles’ titles. Automobile loans held for investment consisted of approximately 16.6% with credit scores 680 and above, 46.6% with scores between 620 and 679 and 36.8% with scores below 620 at August 31, 2022. These loans are included in Receivables—fees, interest and other in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and are not carried at fair value. The automobile loans have a fair value of $929.4 million at August 31, 2022, which would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Provision for credit losses are charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain an allowance for credit losses inherent in automobile loans held for investment. The allowance for credit losses is established systematically by management based on the determination of the amount of credit losses inherent in the automobile loans held for investment as of the reporting date. All automobile loans held for investment are collectively evaluated for impairment. Management's estimate of expected credit losses is based on an evaluation of relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the future collectability of the reported amounts. We use static pool modeling techniques to determine the allowance for loan losses expected over the remaining life of the loans, which is supplemented by management judgment. Expected losses are estimated for groups of accounts aggregated by monthly vintage.
Generally, the expected losses are projected based on historical loss experience over the last eight years, more heavily weighted toward recent performance when determining the allowance to result in an estimate that is more reflective of the current internal and external environments. Our estimate of expected credit losses includes a reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years and then reverts to an estimate based on historical losses. We review charge-off experience factors, contractual delinquency, historical collection rates, the value of underlying collateral and other information to make the necessary judgments as to credit losses expected in the portfolio as of the reporting date. While management utilizes the best information available to make its evaluations, changes in macroeconomic conditions, interest rate environments, or both, may significantly impact the assumptions and inputs used in determining the allowance for credit losses. Our charge-off policy is based on a loan by loan review of delinquent loans.
A rollforward of the allowance for credit losses related to our automobile loans for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022 is as follows (in thousands):

The following is a description of the valuation basis, including valuation techniques and inputs, used in measuring our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:
Corporate Equity Securities
Exchange-Traded Equity Securities: Exchange-traded equity securities are measured based on quoted closing exchange prices, which are generally obtained from external pricing services, and are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent these securities are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied.

JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
(Unaudited)
Non-Exchange-Traded Equity Securities: Non-exchange-traded equity securities are measured primarily using broker quotations, pricing data from external pricing services and prices observed from recently executed market transactions and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where such information is not available, non-exchange-traded equity securities are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and measured using valuation techniques involving quoted prices of or market data for comparable companies, similar company ratios and multiples (e.g., price/Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), price/book value), discounted cash flow analyses and transaction prices observed from subsequent financing or capital issuance by the company. When using pricing data of comparable companies, judgment must be applied to adjust the pricing data to account for differences between the measured security and the comparable security (e.g., issuer market capitalization, yield, dividend rate, geographical concentration).
Equity Warrants: Non-exchange-traded equity warrants are measured primarily from observed prices on recently executed market transactions and broker quotations and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where such information is not available, non-exchange-traded equity warrants are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and can be measured using third-party valuation services or the Black-Scholes model with key inputs impacting the valuation including the underlying security price, implied volatility, dividend yield, interest rate curve, strike price and maturity date.
Corporate Debt Securities
Investment Grade Corporate Bonds: Investment grade corporate bonds are measured primarily using pricing data from external pricing services and broker quotations, where available, prices observed from recently executed market transactions and bond spreads or credit default swap spreads of the issuer adjusted for basis differences between the swap curve and the bond curve. Investment grade corporate bonds measured using these valuation methods are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. If broker quotes, pricing data or spread data is not available, alternative valuation techniques are used including cash flow models incorporating interest rate curves, single name or index credit default swap curves for comparable issuers and recovery rate assumptions. Investment grade corporate bonds measured using alternative valuation techniques are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are a limited portion of our investment grade corporate bonds.
High Yield Corporate and Convertible Bonds: A significant portion of our high yield corporate and convertible bonds are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured primarily using broker quotations and pricing data from external pricing services, where available, and prices observed from recently executed market transactions of institutional size. Where pricing data is less observable, valuations are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are based on pending transactions involving the issuer or comparable issuers, prices implied from an issuer’s subsequent financing or recapitalization, models incorporating financial ratios and projected cash flows of the issuer and market prices for comparable issuers.
Collateralized Debt Obligations and Collateralized Loan Obligations
Collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) are measured based on prices observed from recently executed market transactions of the same or similar security or based on valuations received from third-party brokers or data providers and are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the observability and significance of the pricing inputs. Valuation that is based on recently executed market transactions of similar securities incorporates additional review and analysis of pricing inputs and comparability criteria, including, but not limited to, collateral type, tranche type, rating, origination year, prepayment rates, default rates and loss severity.
U.S. Government and Federal Agency Securities
U.S. Treasury Securities: U.S. Treasury securities are measured based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services and categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
U.S. Agency Debt Securities: Callable and non-callable U.S. agency debt securities are measured primarily based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services and are generally categorized within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Municipal Securities
Municipal securities are measured based on quoted prices obtained from external pricing services, where available, or recently executed independent transactions of comparable size and are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Sovereign Obligations
Sovereign government obligations are measured based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services, where available, or recently executed independent transactions of comparable size. Sovereign government obligations, with consideration given to the country of issuance, are generally categorized within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities
Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”): Agency RMBS include mortgage pass-through securities (fixed and adjustable rate), collateralized mortgage obligations and principal-only and interest-only (including inverse interest-only) securities. Agency RMBS are generally measured using recent transactions, pricing data from external pricing services or expected future cash flow techniques that incorporate prepayment models and other prepayment assumptions to amortize the underlying mortgage loan collateral and are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We use prices observed from recently executed transactions to develop market-clearing spread and yield assumptions. Valuation inputs with regard to the underlying collateral incorporate factors such as weighted average coupon, loan-to-value, credit scores, geographic location, maximum and average loan size, originator, servicer and weighted average loan age.
Non-Agency RMBS: The fair value of non-agency RMBS is determined primarily using pricing data from external pricing services, where available, and discounted cash flow methodologies and securities are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability and significance of the pricing inputs used. Performance attributes of the underlying mortgage loans are evaluated to estimate pricing inputs, such as prepayment rates, default rates and the severity of credit losses. Attributes of the underlying mortgage loans that affect the pricing inputs include, but are not limited to, weighted average coupon; average and maximum loan size; loan-to-value; credit scores; documentation type; geographic location; weighted average loan age; originator; servicer; historical prepayment, default and loss severity experience of the mortgage loan pool; and delinquency rate. Yield curves used in the discounted cash flow models are based on observed market prices for comparable securities and published interest rate data to estimate market yields. In addition, broker quotes, where available, are also referenced to compare prices primarily on interest-only securities.
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities
Agency Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (“CMBS”): Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) project loan bonds are measured based on inputs corroborated from and benchmarked to observed prices of recent securitization transactions of similar securities with adjustments incorporating an evaluation of various factors, including prepayment speeds, default rates and cash flow structures. Ginnie Mae project loan bonds are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Ginnie Mae multi-family CMOs, variable rate Interest Only Securities (“IOs”) and fixed rate IOs are generally measured by using prices observed from recently executed market transactions or pricing data from external pricing services, where available, to estimate market-clearing spread levels for purposes of estimating fair value and are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the pricing inputs used. Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS”) mortgage-backed securities are generally measured by using prices observed from recently executed market transactions to estimate market-clearing spread levels for purposes of estimating fair value. Fannie Mae DUS mortgage-backed securities are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Non-Agency CMBS: Non-agency CMBS are measured using pricing data obtained from external pricing services, prices observed from recently executed market transactions or based on expected cash flow models that incorporate underlying loan collateral characteristics and performance. Non-Agency CMBS are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the observability of the underlying inputs.
Other Asset-Backed Securities
Other asset-backed securities (“ABS”) include, but are not limited to, securities backed by automobile loans, credit card receivables, student loans and other consumer loans and are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Valuations are primarily determined using pricing data obtained from external pricing services, broker quotes and prices observed from recently executed market transactions. In addition, recent transaction data from comparable deals is deployed to develop market clearing yields and cumulative loss assumptions. The cumulative loss assumptions are based on the analysis of the underlying collateral and comparisons to earlier deals from the same issuer to gauge the relative performance of the deal.

Loans and Other Receivables
Corporate Loans: Corporate loans categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on market consensus pricing service quotations. Where available, market price quotations from external pricing services are reviewed to ensure they are supported by transaction data. Corporate loans categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on price quotations that are considered to be less transparent, for example, derived using market prices for debt securities of the same creditor and estimates of future cash flows incorporating assumptions regarding creditor default and recovery rates and consideration of the issuer’s capital structure.
Participation Certificates in Agency Residential Loans: Valuations of participation certificates in agency residential loans are based on observed market prices of recently executed purchases and sales of similar loans and data provider pricing. The loan participation certificates are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy given the observability and volume of recently executed transactions and availability of data provider pricing.
Project Loans and Participation Certificates in Ginnie Mae Project and Construction Loans: Valuations of participation certificates in Ginnie Mae project and construction loans are based on inputs corroborated from and benchmarked to observed prices of recent securitizations with similar underlying loan collateral to derive an implied spread. Securitization prices are adjusted to estimate the fair value of the loans to account for the arbitrage that is realized at the time of securitization. The measurements are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy given the observability and volume of recently executed transactions.
Consumer Loans and Funding Facilities: Consumer and small business whole loans and related funding facilities are valued based on observed market transactions and incorporating valuation inputs including, but not limited to, delinquency and default rates, prepayment rates, borrower characteristics, loan risk grades and loan age. These assets are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Escrow and Claim Receivables: Escrow and claim receivables are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy where fair value is based on recent observations in the same receivable. Escrow and claim receivables are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy where fair value is estimated based on reference to market prices and implied yields of debt securities of the same or similar issuers.
Derivatives
Listed Derivative Contracts: Listed derivative contracts that are actively traded are measured based on quoted exchange prices, broker quotes or vanilla option valuation models, such as Black-Scholes, using observable valuation inputs from the principal market or consensus pricing services. Exchange quotes and/or valuation inputs are generally obtained from external vendors and pricing services. Broker quotes are validated directly through observable and tradeable quotes. Listed derivative contracts that use exchange close prices are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. All other listed derivative contracts are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) Derivative Contracts: OTC derivative contracts are generally valued using models, whose inputs reflect assumptions that we believe market participants would use in valuing the derivative in a current transaction. Where available, valuation inputs are calibrated from observable market data. For many OTC derivative contracts, the valuation models do not involve material subjectivity as the methodologies do not entail significant judgment and the inputs to valuation models do not involve a high degree of subjectivity as the valuation model inputs are readily observable or can be derived from actively quoted markets. OTC derivative contracts are primarily categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy given the observability and significance of the inputs to the valuation models. Where significant inputs to the valuation are unobservable, derivative instruments are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

OTC options include OTC equity, foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity options measured using various valuation models, such as Black-Scholes, with key inputs including the underlying security price, foreign exchange spot rate, commodity price, implied volatility, dividend yield, interest rate curve, strike price and maturity date. Discounted cash flow models are utilized to measure certain OTC derivative contracts including the valuations of our interest rate swaps, which incorporate observable inputs related to interest rate curves, valuations of our foreign exchange forwards and swaps, which incorporate observable inputs related to foreign currency spot rates and forward curves and valuations of our commodity swaps and forwards, which incorporate observable inputs related to commodity spot prices and forward curves. Credit default swaps include both index and single-name credit default swaps. Where available, external data is used in measuring index credit default swaps and single-name credit default swaps. For commodity and equity total return swaps, market prices are generally observable for the underlying asset and used as the basis for measuring the fair value of the derivative contracts. Total return swaps executed on other underlyings are measured based on valuations received from external pricing services.
Investments at Fair Value
Investments at fair value includes investments in hedge funds and private equity 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 internally or by third-party valuation services involving performance data, company ratios and multiples (e.g., price/EBITDA, price/book value) for comparable companies, 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.

Securities Received as Collateral / Obligations to Return Securities Received as Collateral
In connection with securities-for-securities transactions in which we are the lender of securities and are permitted to sell or repledge the securities received as collateral, we report the fair value of the collateral received and the related obligation to return the collateral. Valuation is based on the price of the underlying security and is categorized within the corresponding leveling guidance above. These financial instruments are typically categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Other Secured Financings
Other secured financings that are accounted for at fair value are classified within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is based on estimates of future cash flows incorporating assumptions regarding recovery rates.
Long-term Debt
Long-term debt includes variable rate, fixed-to-floating rate, equity-linked notes, constant maturity swap, digital and Bermudan structured notes. These are valued using various valuation models that incorporate our own credit spread, market price quotations from external pricing sources referencing the appropriate interest rate curves, volatilities and other inputs as well as prices for transactions in a given note during the period. Long-term debt notes are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy where market trades have been observed during the period or model pricing is available, otherwise the notes are categorized within Level 3.

During the three months ended August 31, 2022, transfers of assets of $76.8 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
CMBS of $32.4 million, RMBS of $28.2 million, Other ABS of $9.2 million and Loans and other receivables of $6.3 million due to reduced pricing transparency.
During the three months ended August 31, 2022, transfers of assets of $27.6 million from Level 3 to Level 2 are primarily attributed to:

During the three months ended August 31, 2022, transfers of liabilities of $112.1 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Structured notes within Long-term debt of $52.0 million, Net derivatives of $49.4 million and Loans of $10.6 million due to reduced market and pricing transparency.
During the three months ended August 31, 2022, transfers of liabilities of $17.7 million from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Structured notes within Long-term debt of $10.8 million and Net derivatives of $5.7 million due to greater pricing and market transparency.
Net gains on Level 3 assets were $10.9 million and net gains on Level 3 liabilities were $83.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2022. Net gains on Level 3 assets were primarily due to increased market values across Investments at fair value, partially offset by decreases in RMBS, CMBS and Corporate equity securities. Net gains on Level 3 liabilities were primarily due to decreased valuations of structured notes within Long-term debt and certain derivatives.
The following is a summary of changes in fair value of our financial assets and liabilities that have been categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended August 31, 2022 (in thousands):

During the nine months ended August 31, 2021, transfers of assets of $50.9 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Loans and other receivables of $17.4 million, Other ABS of $12.5 million, Corporate equity securities of $10.2 million and CDOs and CLOs of $7.6 million due to reduced pricing transparency.
During the nine months ended August 31, 2021, transfers of assets of $48.2 million from Level 3 to Level 2 are primarily attributed to:
RMBS of $19.3 million, Corporate debt securities of $17.5 million, Other ABS of $6.0 million and Loans and other receivables of $4.9 million due to greater pricing transparency supporting classification into Level 2.
During the nine months ended August 31, 2021, transfers of liabilities of $100.0 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Net derivatives of $73.4 million and structured notes within Long-term debt of $26.3 million due to reduced pricing and market transparency.
During the nine months ended August 31, 2021, transfers of liabilities of $14.6 million from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:
Net derivatives of $14.6 million due to greater pricing transparency.
Net gains on Level 3 assets were $50.6 million and net losses on Level 3 liabilities were $60.2 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2021. Net gains on Level 3 assets were primarily due to increased market values across Corporate equity securities, CDOs and CLOs, Loans and other receivables and Other ABS. Net losses on Level 3 liabilities were primarily due to increased valuations of certain derivatives and structured notes within Long-term debt.
Quantitative Information about Significant Unobservable Inputs used in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021
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 with 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.

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, CMBS, loans and other receivables, other ABS, private equity securities, certain derivatives and structured notes using a market approach valuation technique. A significant increase (decrease) in the price of the private equity securities, non-exchange-traded securities, corporate debt securities, CDOs and CLOs, other ABS, loans and other receivables, total return swaps and structured notes would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the EBITDA multiple related to corporate debt securities would result in a significantly higher (lower) 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 interest rate swaps. A significant increase (decrease) in CMBS spreads would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Corporate debt securities, loans and other receivables, CMBS, private equity securities and other secured financings using scenario analysis. A significant increase (decrease) in the possible recovery rates of the cash flow outcomes underlying the financial instrument would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement for the financial instrument.
CDOs and CLOs and other ABS using a discounted cash flow 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.
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
We have elected the fair value option for all loans and loan commitments made by our investment banking and capital markets businesses. These loans and loan commitments include loans entered into by our investment banking division in connection with client bridge financing and loan syndications, loans purchased by our leveraged credit trading desk as part of its bank loan trading activities and mortgage and consumer loan commitments, purchases and fundings in connection with mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securitization activities. Loans and loan commitments originated or purchased by our leveraged credit and mortgage-backed businesses are managed on a fair value basis. Loans are included in Financial instruments owned and loan commitments are included in Financial instruments owned and Financial instruments sold, not yet purchased in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The fair value option election is not applied to loans made to affiliate entities as such loans are entered into as part of ongoing, strategic business ventures. Loans to affiliate entities are included in Loans to and investments in related parties in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and are accounted for on an amortized cost basis. We have also elected the fair value option for certain of our structured notes which are managed by our investment banking and capital markets businesses and are included in Long-term debt in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We have elected the fair value option for certain financial instruments held by subsidiaries as the investments are risk managed by us on a fair value basis. The fair value option has been elected for certain other secured financings that arise in connection with our securitization activities and other structured financings. Other secured financings, Receivables—Brokers, dealers and clearing organizations, Receivables—Customers, Receivables—Fees, interest and other, Payables—Brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and Payables—Customers, are accounted for at cost plus accrued interest rather than at fair value; however, the recorded amounts approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, except for our automobile loans. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further details on our automobile loans.

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.

Note 4. Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
Our derivative activities are recorded at fair value in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition 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 resulting from our trading activities. 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.
See Note 3, Fair Value Disclosures, and Note 15, Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees, for additional disclosures about derivative financial instruments.
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. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, 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, 2021 for additional information regarding the offsetting of derivative contracts.
The following tables present the fair value and related number of derivative contracts at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021 categorized by type of derivative contract and the platform on which these derivatives are transacted. The fair value of assets/liabilities represents our receivable/payable for derivative financial instruments, gross of counterparty netting and cash collateral received and pledged. The following tables also provide information regarding 1) the extent to which, under enforceable master netting arrangements, such balances are presented net in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as appropriate under U.S. GAAP and 2) the extent to which other rights of setoff associated with these arrangements exist and could have an effect on our financial position (in thousands, except contract amounts).

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 (in millions):

Note 5. Collateralized Transactions
Our repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending arrangements are generally recorded at cost in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, which is a reasonable approximation of their fair values due to their short-term nature. We enter into secured borrowing and lending arrangements to obtain collateral necessary to effect settlement, finance inventory positions, meet customer needs or re-lend as part of our dealer operations. We monitor the fair value of the securities loaned and borrowed on a daily basis as compared with the related payable or receivable, and request additional collateral or return excess collateral, as appropriate. We pledge financial instruments as collateral under repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements and other secured arrangements, including clearing arrangements. Our agreements with counterparties generally contain contractual provisions allowing the counterparty the right to sell or repledge the collateral. Pledged securities owned that can be sold or repledged by the counterparty are included in Financial instruments owned, at fair value, and noted parenthetically as Securities pledged in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
In instances where we receive securities as collateral in connection with securities-for-securities transactions in which we are the lender of securities and are permitted to sell or repledge the securities received as collateral, we report the fair value of the collateral received and the related obligation to return the collateral in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

We receive securities as collateral under resale agreements, securities borrowing transactions, customer margin loans and as initial margin on certain derivative transactions. We also receive securities as collateral in connection with securities-for-securities transactions in which we are the lender of securities. 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, 2022 and November 30, 2021, the approximate fair value of securities received as collateral by us that may be sold or repledged was $29.07 billion and $31.97 billion, respectively. At August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, a substantial portion of the securities received by us had been sold or repledged.
Offsetting of 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). See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, 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, 2021 for additional information regarding the offsetting of securities financing agreements.
The following tables provide information regarding repurchase agreements, securities borrowing and lending arrangements and securities received as collateral, at fair value, and obligation to return securities received as collateral, at fair value, that are recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and 1) the extent to which, under enforceable master netting arrangements, such balances are presented net in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as appropriate under U.S. GAAP and 2) the extent to which other rights of setoff associated with these arrangements exist and could have an effect on our financial position (in thousands).

(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 the balance sheet 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)Amounts include $4.61 billion of securities borrowing arrangements for which we have received securities collateral of $4.47 billion, and $420.0 million of repurchase agreements, for which we have pledged securities collateral of $432.8 million, which are subject to master netting agreements, but we have not determined the agreements to be legally enforceable.
(4)Amounts include $4.51 billion of securities borrowing arrangements for which we have received securities collateral of $4.35 billion, and $765.0 million of repurchase agreements, for which we have pledged securities collateral of $781.8 million, which are subject to master netting agreements, but we have not determined the agreements to be legally enforceable.
Cash and Securities Segregated and on Deposit for Regulatory Purposes or Deposited with Clearing and Depository Organizations
Cash and securities segregated in accordance with regulatory regulations and deposited with clearing and depository organizations totaled $984.3 million and $1.02 billion at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively. Segregated cash and securities consist of deposits in accordance with Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which subjects Jefferies LLC as a broker-dealer carrying customer accounts to requirements related to maintaining cash or qualified securities in segregated special reserve bank accounts for the exclusive benefit of its customers.
Other Assets
Restricted cash, which is comprised of cash reserve balances required by securitization agreements and cash collections associated with automobile loans pledged to warehouse credit facilities, is included in Other assets in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at August 31, 2022. These restricted cash balances are held by trustees and are distributed monthly by the trustees per the various securitization and warehouse credit facility agreements. Restricted cash may also include amounts related to pre-funding arrangements put in place for securitizations, which are funds that remain in an escrow account managed by a trustee until we pledge additional automobile loans to meet the collateral requirements of the related notes, at which time the funds become available for our use.

Note 6. 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 significant 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. See Note 7, 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 in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings 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 in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and are generally initially categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. For further information on fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, refer to Note 3, Fair Value Disclosures, herein, and Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, 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, 2021.

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 7, Variable Interest Entities.

Note 7. 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.
At August 31, 2022, we are the primary beneficiary of automobile loan financing vehicles to which we transfer automobile loans, act as servicer of the automobile loans for a fee and retain equity interests in the vehicles. The assets of these VIEs consist primarily of automobile loans, which are accounted for as loans held for investment at amortized cost and included within Receivables—fees, interest and other on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The liabilities of these VIEs consist of notes issued by the VIEs, which are accounted for at amortized cost and included within Other secured financings on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and do not have recourse to our general credit. The automobile loans are pledged as collateral for the related notes and available only for the benefit of the note holders.
Other. We are the primary beneficiary of certain investment vehicles set up for the benefit of our employees. We manage and invest alongside our employees in these vehicles. The assets of these VIEs consist of private equity securities, and are available for the benefit of the entities’ equity holders. Our variable interests in these vehicles consist of equity securities. 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.

Total$1,798.8 $2.0 $3,862.7 $26,367.8 
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. The underlying assets, which are collateralizing the vehicles, are primarily composed of unsecured consumer loans, mortgage 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 committed to invest in private equity funds, (the “JCP Funds”, including JCP Fund V (see Note 8, Investments)) managed by Jefferies Capital Partners, LLC (the “JCP Manager”). Additionally, we 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, 2022 and November 30, 2021, our total equity commitment in the JCP Entities was $133.0 million, of which $122.3 million had been funded. The carrying value of our equity investments in the JCP Entities was $29.6 million and $27.1 million at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, 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.
Other Investment Vehicles. At August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, we had equity commitments to invest $1.16 billion and $760.0 million, respectively, in various other investment vehicles, of which $1.02 billion and $759.1 million was funded, respectively. The carrying value of our equity investments was $1.33 billion and $907.6 million at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, 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 in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. 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, 2022 and November 30, 2021, we held $1.60 billion and $1.31 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities, respectively, and $175.6 million and $253.9 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.

Note 8. Investments
At August 31, 2022, we had investments in JFIN Parent LLC (“Jefferies Finance”) and Berkadia. We hold an equity interest in JFIN Parent LLC and Jefferies Finance LLC is a direct subsidiary of JFIN Parent LLC. Our investments in Jefferies Finance and Berkadia have been accounted for under the equity method and have been included in Loans to and investments in related parties in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition with our share of the investees’ earnings recognized in Other revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We have limited partnership interests of 11% and 50% in Jefferies Capital Partners V L.P. and the Jefferies SBI USA Fund L.P. (together, “JCP Fund V”), respectively, which are private equity funds managed by a team led by one of our directors and our Chairman of the Executive Committee.
In addition, since December 1, 2021, in connection with the transfer of certain securities and partnership interests from Jefferies to us, we have investments in Monashee Holdings LLC (“Monashee”); Oak Hill Capital Management LLC, OHCP GenPar Holdco, LP, Oak Hill Capital Management Partners III, LP and Oak Hill Capital Partners IV (Management), LP (collectively the “Oak Hill entities”) and ApiJect Systems, Corp. (“ApiJect”).

At August 31, 2022, we and MassMutual each had equity commitments to Jefferies Finance of $750.0 million, for a combined total commitment of $1.50 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, 2022, our remaining commitment to Jefferies Finance was $15.4 million. The investment commitment is scheduled to expire on March 1, 2023 with automatic one year extensions absent a 60 days 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, 2022. Advances are shared equally between us and MassMutual. The facility is scheduled to mature on March 1, 2023 with automatic one year extensions absent a 60 days termination notice by either party. At August 31, 2022, we had funded $0.0 million of our $250.0 million commitment.

Asset Management Investments
We have investments in various asset management entities with an aggregate carrying amount of $180.9 million at August 31, 2022.

A portion of the carrying amount of the investment in Monashee relates to contract and customer relationship and client relationship intangible assets and goodwill. The intangible assets are amortized over their useful life and the goodwill is not amortized. The equity method investments also consist of membership interests and limited partnership interests of approximately 15% in the Oak Hill investment management company and registered investment adviser and the Oak Hill general partner entity, which is entitled to carried interest from certain Oak Hill managed funds (collectively “the Oak Hill interests”).

ApiJect
At August 31, 2022, we owned shares which represent a 38% economic interest in ApiJect. Our investment in ApiJect is accounted for at fair value by electing the fair value option available under U.S. GAAP and is included within corporate equity securities in Financial instruments owned, at fair value, in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. During the nine months ended August 31, 2022, in connection with ApiJect’s issuance of additional equity to third party investors, we purchased additional common shares of ApiJect and obtained a right to 1.125% of ApiJect’s future revenues for cash consideration of $25.0 million. In addition, we converted our $25.0 million term loan agreement into additional common shares. For the nine months ended August 31, 2022, the change in fair value of our equity investments in ApiJect was a mark-to-market gain of $37.3 million. At August 31, 2022, the total fair value of our equity investment in common shares of ApiJect is $100.1 million, which is included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, we owned 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.
We also have a term loan agreement with a principal of ApiJect for $25.0 million maturing on October 31, 2022. The loan is accounted for at cost plus accrued interest and is reported within Other assets in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. Interest income of $0.5 million and $1.6 million was recognized related to the loan for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, respectively, and is recognized in Interest revenues in our Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The loan has a fair value of $28.3 million at August 31, 2022, which would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill, which is all attributed to our Investment Banking and Capital Markets reportable business segment, amounted to $1.63 billion and $1.65 billion at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively.
The following table is a summary of the changes to goodwill for the nine months ended August 31, 2022 (in thousands):
Balance at November 30, 2021$1,645,317 
Currency translation and other adjustments(12,077)
Balance at August 31, 2022$1,633,240 
Goodwill Impairment Testing
A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed at the level of the reporting unit. 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. The amount of tangible equity allocated to a reporting unit is based on our cash capital model deployed in managing our businesses, which seeks to approximate the capital a business would require if it were operating independently. Intangible assets are allocated to a reporting unit based on either specifically identifying a particular intangible asset as pertaining to a reporting unit or, if shared among reporting units, based on an assessment of the reporting unit’s benefit from the intangible asset in order to generate results.
Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit requires management judgment. Estimated fair values for our reporting units were determined using a market valuation method that incorporates price-to-earnings and price-to-book multiples of comparable public companies. 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. 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, 2022.
Our annual goodwill impairment testing at August 1, 2022 did not indicate any goodwill impairment in any of our reporting units. All of our goodwill is allocated to our Investment Banking, Equities and Fixed Income reporting units, which are part of our Investment Banking and Capital Markets reportable business segment, for which the results of our assessment indicated that these reporting units had a fair value in excess of their carrying amounts based on current projections.

We performed our annual impairment testing of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, which consists of exchange and clearing organization membership interests and registrations, at August 1, 2022. 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. In applying our quantitative assessments, we recognized impairment losses on certain exchange membership interests and registrations. 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, aggregate amortization expense amounted to $2.0 million and $7.0 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, respectively, and $3.0 million and $9.0 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, respectively. These expenses are included in Other expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

(1)The carrying values of these senior notes include net gains of $188.0 million and $38.6 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, associated with interest rate swaps based on designation as fair value hedges. See Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments, for further information.
(2)These structured notes contain various interest rate payment terms and are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk presented in other comprehensive income and changes in fair value resulting from non-credit components recognized in Principal transactions revenues. A weighted average coupon rate is not meaningful, as all of the structured notes are carried at fair value.
(3)The Total Long-term debt has a fair value of $7.33 billion and $8.64 billion at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively, which would be classified as Level 2 and Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
During the nine months ended August 31, 2022, long-term debt decreased by $467.5 million to $7.57 billion at August 31, 2022, as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, primarily due to fair value changes in our structured notes, gains on certain of our senior notes associated with interest rate swaps based on their designation as fair value hedges and approximately $66.2 million of net repayments related to our unsecured long-term debt, partially offset by structured notes issuances, net of retirements, of approximately $162.5 million and net issuances of approximately $93.7 million related to our secured credit facilities. At August 31, 2022, all of our structured notes contain various interest rate payment terms and are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk presented in other comprehensive income and changes in fair value resulting from non-credit components recognized in Principal transactions revenues. Gains and losses in the fair value of structured notes resulting from non-credit components are recognized within Other adjustments on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.
At August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, our borrowings under several credit facilities classified within Long-term debt in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition amounted to $1.05 billion and $972.9 million, respectively. Interest on these credit facilities is based on adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rates or other adjusted rates, as defined in the various credit agreements. The credit facility agreements contain certain covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain specified levels of tangible net worth and liquidity amounts, 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, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under theses credit facilities.
In addition, one of our subsidiaries has a Loan and Security Agreement with a bank for a term loan (“Secured Bank Loan”). At both August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, borrowings under the Secured Bank Loan amounted to $100.0 million and are also classified within Long-term debt in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Secured Bank Loan matures on September 13, 2024, has an interest rate of 1.25% plus LIBOR and is collateralized by certain trading securities. The agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, restricts lien or encumbrance upon any of the pledged collateral. At August 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Secured Bank Loan.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, we satisfy our performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to the customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring our progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the goods or services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that we determine the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those promised goods or services (i.e., the “transaction price”). In determining the transaction price, we consider multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, we consider the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of our past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside of our influence, such as market volatility or the judgment and actions of third-parties.
The following provides detailed information on the recognition of our revenues from contracts with customers:
Commissions and Other Fees. We earn commission and other fee revenue by executing, settling and clearing transactions for clients primarily in equity, equity-related and futures products. Trade execution and clearing services, when provided together, represent a single performance obligation as the services are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract. Commission revenues associated with combined trade execution and clearing services, as well as trade execution services on a standalone basis, are recognized at a point in time on trade-date. Commissions revenues are generally paid on settlement date and we record a receivable between trade-date and payment on settlement date. We permit institutional customers to allocate a portion of their gross commissions to pay for research products and other services provided by third-parties. The amounts allocated for those purposes are commonly referred to as soft dollar arrangements. We act as an agent in the soft dollar arrangements as the customer controls the use of the soft dollars and directs our payments to third-party service providers on its behalf. Accordingly, amounts allocated to soft dollar arrangements are netted against commission revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We also earn investment research fees for the sales of our proprietary investment research when a contract with a client has been identified. The delivery of investment research services represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time when the performance obligation is to provide ongoing access to a research platform or research analysts, with fees recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the performance obligation is to provide individual interactions with research analysts or research events, with fees recognized on the interaction date.
We earn account advisory and distribution fees in connection with wealth management services. Account advisory fees are recognized over time using the time-elapsed method as we determined that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of investment advisory services as they are provided. Account advisory fees may be paid in advance of a specified service period or in arrears at the end of the specified service period (e.g., quarterly). Account advisory fees paid in advance are initially deferred within Accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Distribution fees are variable and recognized when the uncertainties with respect to the amounts are resolved.
Investment Banking. We provide our clients with a full range of financial advisory and underwriting services. Revenues from financial advisory services primarily consist of fees generated in connection with merger, acquisition and restructuring transactions. Advisory fees from mergers and acquisitions engagements are recognized at a point in time when the related transaction is completed, as the performance obligation is to successfully broker a specific transaction. Fees received prior to the completion of the transaction are deferred within Accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Advisory fees from restructuring engagements are recognized over time using a time elapsed measure of progress as our clients simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of those services as they are provided. A significant portion of the fees we receive for our advisory services are considered variable as they are contingent upon a future event (e.g., completion of a transaction or third-party emergence from bankruptcy) and are excluded from the transaction price until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, which is expected to occur upon achievement of the specified milestone. Payment for advisory services are generally due promptly upon completion of a specified milestone or, for retainer fees, periodically over the course of the engagement. We recognize a receivable between the date of completion of the milestone and payment by the customer. Expenses associated with investment banking advisory engagements are deferred only to the extent they are explicitly reimbursable by the client and the related revenue is recognized at a point in time. All other investment banking advisory related expenses, including expenses incurred related to restructuring assignments, are expensed as incurred. All investment banking advisory expenses are recognized within their respective expense category in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings and any expenses reimbursed by our clients are recognized as Investment banking revenues.

Underwriting services include underwriting and placement agent services in both the equity and debt capital markets, including private equity placements, initial public offerings, follow-on offerings and equity-linked securities transactions and structuring, underwriting and distributing public and private debt, including investment grade debt, high yield bonds, leveraged loans, municipal bonds and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Underwriting and placement agent revenues are recognized at a point in time on trade-date, as the client obtains the control and benefit of the underwriting offering at that point. Costs associated with underwriting transactions are deferred until the related revenue is recognized or the engagement is otherwise concluded, and are recorded on a gross basis within Underwriting costs in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings as we are acting as a principal in the arrangement. Any expenses reimbursed by our clients are recognized as Investment banking revenues.
Asset Management Fees. We earn management and performance fees in connection with investment advisory services provided to various funds and accounts, which are satisfied over time and measured using a time elapsed measure of progress as the customer receives the benefits of the services evenly throughout the term of the contract. Management and performance fees are considered variable as they are subject to fluctuation (e.g., changes in assets under management, market performance) and/ or are contingent on a future event during the measurement period (e.g., meeting a specified benchmark) and are recognized only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. Management fees are generally based on month-end assets under management or an agreed upon notional amount and are included in the transaction price at the end of each month when the assets under management or notional amount is known. Performance fees are received when the return on assets under management for a specified performance period exceed certain benchmark returns, “high-water marks” or other performance targets. The performance period related to our performance fees is annual or semi-annual. Accordingly, performance fee revenue will generally be recognized only at the end of the performance period to the extent that the benchmark return has been met.

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, 2022. 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 at August 31, 2022.

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, we recognized $35.2 million and $77.9 million, respectively, compared with $76.2 million and $49.4 million, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, 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, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, we recognized $9.2 million and $19.3 million, respectively, compared with $7.9 million and $16.4 million, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, 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 revenues at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021 were $15.6 million and $14.9 million, respectively, which are recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, we recognized revenues of $2.7 million and $14.6 million, respectively, compared with $3.0 million and $5.6 million, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, respectively, that were recorded as deferred revenue at the beginning of the periods.
We had receivables related to revenues from contracts with customers of $196.0 million and $232.6 million at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively. We estimate an allowance for credit losses on our investment banking fee receivables using 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.
The allowance for credit losses on our investment banking fee receivables for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows (in thousands):

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, 2022 and November 30, 2021, capitalized costs to fulfill a contract were $2.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, which are recorded in Receivables—Fees, interest and other in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, we recognized expenses of $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, compared with $0.9 million and $1.6 million, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, respectively, 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, 2022 and 2021.

Note 13. Compensation Plans
Jefferies sponsors our following share-based compensation plans: Equity Compensation Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan. The outstanding and future share-based awards relating to these plans relate to Jefferies common shares. The fair value of share-based awards is estimated on the date of grant based on the market price of the underlying common stock less the impact of market conditions and selling restrictions subsequent to vesting, if any, and is amortized as compensation expense over the related requisite service periods. We are allocated costs associated with awards granted to our employees under such plans.
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.
The components of total compensation cost associated with certain of our compensation plans are as follows (in millions):

Note 14. Income Taxes
In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we changed our accounting policy election as it relates to where we record interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in order to align our accounting policy and income statement presentation with that of Jefferies. Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we record interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes and reported financial information for historical comparable periods has not been revised. Prior to fiscal 2022, interest on unrecognized tax benefits was recorded in Interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. In addition, penalties, if any, are recognized in the provision for income taxes. This change did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and has no impact on Net earnings in our historical periods.

At August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, our total gross unrecognized tax benefits were $301.3 million and $198.9 million, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of $85.6 million of accrued interest at August 31, 2022 related to the change in accounting policy discussed above. At August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, we had interest accrued of approximately $85.6 million and $74.3 million, respectively, included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The total amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $238.3 million and $157.8 million (net of Federal benefit) at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively.
We are currently under examination by a number of taxing jurisdictions. Though we do not expect that resolution of these examinations will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, they may have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations for the period in which resolution occurs.
The table below summarizes the earliest tax years that remain subject to examination in the major tax jurisdictions in which we operate:

For the nine months ended August 31, 2022, the provision for income taxes was $200.4 million, equating to an effective tax rate of 26.7%. For the nine months ended August 31, 2021, the provision for income taxes was $428.7 million, equating to an effective tax rate of 25.8%.

Additionally, at August 31, 2022, we had outstanding equity commitments to invest up to $69.7 million in the Oak Hill entities, $415.8 million to strategic affiliates and $35.6 million in various other investments. Subsequent to quarter-end, we no longer have the equity commitments to the Oak Hill entities, as a result of our sale of the Oak Hill interests on September 30, 2022. For further information on this sale, see Note 8, Investments.
Loan Commitments. From time to time we make commitments to extend credit to investment banking and other clients in loan syndication and acquisition finance, 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, 2022, we had $100.4 million of outstanding loan commitments to clients.
Loan commitments outstanding at August 31, 2022 also include our portion of the outstanding secured revolving credit facility provided to Jefferies Finance, to support loan underwritings by Jefferies Finance. See Note 8, Investments, for additional information.
Underwriting Commitments. In connection with investment banking activities, we may from time to time provide underwriting commitments to our clients in connection with capital raising transactions.
Forward Starting Reverse Repos and Repos. We enter into commitments to take possession of securities with agreements to resell on a forward starting basis and to sell securities with agreements to repurchase on a forward starting basis that are primarily secured by U.S. government and agency securities.
Other Unfunded Commitments. Other unfunded commitments include obligations in the form of revolving notes, warehouse financings and debt securities to provide financing to asset-backed and CLO vehicles. Upon advancing funds, drawn amounts are collateralized by the assets of an entity.
Contingencies
In the third quarter of 2022, we accrued $80.0 million within Other expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Earnings in regards to a combined regulatory settlement with the SEC and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). This regulatory settlement was within the context of an industry-wide regulatory investigation relating to record-keeping requirements in connection with personal-texting devices used for business communications.
We and our subsidiaries are parties to other legal and regulatory proceedings that are considered to be either ordinary, routine litigation incidental to their business or not significant to our consolidated financial position. We and our subsidiaries are also involved, from time to time, in other exams, investigations and similar reviews (both formal and informal) by governmental and self-regulatory agencies regarding our businesses, certain of which may result in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other injunctions. We do not believe that any of these actions will have a significant adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or liquidity, but any amounts paid could be significant to results of operations for the period.
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 following table summarizes the notional amounts associated with our derivative contracts meeting the definition of a guarantee under U.S. GAAP at August 31, 2022 (in millions):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
(Unaudited)
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, 2022, the fair value of derivative contracts meeting the definition of a guarantee is approximately $768.8 million.
Standby Letters of Credit. At August 31, 2022, we provided guarantees to certain counterparties in the form of standby letters of credit in the amount of $13.1 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.

Note 16. Net Capital Requirements
As a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), Jefferies LLC 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 Rule 1.17 of the CFTC, 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 Rule 15c3-1 or CFTC Rule 1.17. FINRA is the designated examining authority for Jefferies LLC and the National Futures Association (“NFA”) is the designated self-regulatory organization for Jefferies LLC as an FCM.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) contains provisions that require the registration of all swap dealers, major swap participants, security-based swap dealers, and/or major security-based swap participants. JFSI, a registered swap dealer, is subject to the CFTC’s regulatory capital requirements and holds regulatory capital in excess of the minimum regulatory requirement. Additionally, JFSI is registered as a security-based swap dealer with the SEC and is subject to the SEC’s security-based swap dealer regulatory rules. Further, JFSI is registered with the SEC as an OTC derivatives dealer, and is subject to compliance with the SEC’s net capital requirements. As a security-based swap dealer and swap dealer, JFSI is subject to the net capital requirements of the SEC, CFTC and the NFA, as a member of the NFA. JFSI is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined under SEC Rule 18a-1 of not less than the greater of 2% of the risk margin amount, as defined, or $20 million.
At August 31, 2022, Jefferies LLC and JFSI’s net capital and excess net capital were as follows (in thousands):

Certain other U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to capital adequacy requirements as prescribed by the regulatory authorities in their respective jurisdictions, including Jefferies International Limited which is subject to the regulatory supervision and requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K.
The regulatory capital requirements referred to above may restrict our ability to withdraw capital from our regulated subsidiaries.

Note 17. 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 securities, commodities, futures and foreign exchange capital markets activities and investment banking business, which is composed of financial advisory and underwriting activities. The Investment Banking and Capital Markets reportable business segment provides the sales, trading, origination and advisory effort for various fixed income, equity and advisory products and services. The Asset Management reportable business segment provides investment management services to investors in the U.S. and overseas and invests capital in hedge funds, separately managed accounts, third-party asset managers and other alternative investments.
On December 1, 2021, we have expanded the activities of our Asset Management reportable business segment to include alternative investment strategies. Previously reported results are presented on a comparable basis.
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 (loss) 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.
Our net revenues, non-interest expenses and earnings before income taxes by reportable business segment are summarized below (in millions):

Consolidated Results of Operations
Transfers from Jefferies Financial Group Inc.
On December 1, 2021, Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (“Jefferies”), our parent company, transferred certain loans and certain investments in securities and limited partnerships to us. In addition, Jefferies transferred its investment in Foursight Capital LLC (“Foursight”), a subsidiary of Jefferies, to us. These transfers were accomplished as a capital contribution from Jefferies, and since we are under common control, these loans and investments and the assets and liabilities of Foursight were recorded at their carrying amounts on December 1, 2021. As a result of these transfers, our total assets increased by $1.27 billion, total liabilities increased by $800.4 million and total equity increased by $476.5 million in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. See Note 1, Organization and Basis of Presentation for further details.
The transferred securities and limited partnership interests are subsequently accounted for in accordance with our existing accounting policies for Financial instruments owned and Loans to and investments in related parties. Certain transferred loans have been classified within Other assets in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and are accounted for at amortized cost as the transfer did not qualify as an event upon which the fair value option for these loans could be elected. Principal transactions revenues related to the change in fair value of the investments classified in Financial instruments owned, at fair value, Other revenue related to our share of the investees’ earnings for investments classified in Loans to and investments in related parties and interest income on transferred loans are included within our results of operations as of the period beginning December 1, 2021 and, accordingly, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022.

The results of operations of Foursight, which consist primarily of Interest income, Other revenues related to servicing activities and operating expenses are included within our results of operations as of the period beginning December 1, 2021 and, accordingly, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022.

Executive Summary
Three Months Ended August 31, 2022
Consolidated Results
Net revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2022 were $1.12 billion, down 32.1% compared with $1.65 billion for the three months ended August 31, 2021, primarily reflecting lower investment banking net revenues, as well as lower fixed income net revenues, partially offset by higher equity net revenues.
Non-compensation expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2022 were $463.8 million, compared with $322.7 million for the prior year comparable quarter, with the increase primarily due to an $80.0 million combined regulatory settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”).
Earnings before income taxes of $123.1 million were 78.0% lower than that of the prior year comparable quarter.
Net earnings attributable to Jefferies Group LLC of $66.5 million were similarly 84.1% lower than that of the prior year comparable quarter.
Business Results
Our investment banking net revenues were $681.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2022, compared with $1.20 billion in the prior year comparable quarter. Advisory revenues were $486.8 million, modestly down 16.6%, with global mergers and acquisitions activity remaining strong. Underwriting revenues of $227.9 million were down $368.9 million over the prior year comparable quarter, consistent with the reduction in industry-wide deal activity due to a challenging market environment.
Other investment banking revenues during the three months ended August 31, 2022 include an increase in our share of the net income of Berkadia compared with the prior year comparable quarter and net revenues from Foursight, which was transferred to us on December 1, 2021. This was offset in the current quarter by our share of the net loss of our Jefferies Finance joint venture reflecting reduced market activity and higher reserves recorded on its loan portfolio and outstanding commitments due to company-specific developments and difficult conditions in the leveraged finance market.
Our equities net revenues of $277.4 million are 17.3% higher than those of the prior year comparable quarter. This quarter’s revenues benefited from higher commissions and trading revenues, as our business continues to expand within the context of a more normalized trading environment.

Table of Contents
JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Our fixed income net revenues of $174.6 million were down 15.1% compared to the prior year comparable quarter, reflecting mark-to-market losses on certain mortgage inventory positions and a slowdown in securitized markets as a result of continued uncertainty in respect of inflation and interest rates.
Overall results in our asset management business were a net loss of $13.8 million, compared with a net loss of $0.3 million in the prior year comparable quarter. Results reflect an increase in asset management fees and revenues, offset by modest investment losses reflective of the difficult trading environment in the current year quarter.
Expenses
Non-interest expenses of $997.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2022 decreased $92.5 million, or 8.5%, compared with $1.09 billion for the prior year comparable quarter. The decrease is due to lower compensation and benefits expense, consistent with the decline in net revenues.
Compensation and benefits expense for the three months ended August 31, 2022 was $534.0 million, a decrease of $233.6 million, or 30.4%, from the prior year comparable quarter. Compensation and benefits expense as a percentage of Net revenues was 47.6% for the three months ended August 31, 2022, compared with 46.5% in the prior year comparable quarter and 47.9% for the year ended November 30, 2021.
Non-compensation expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2022 were $463.8 million, compared with $322.7 million for the prior year comparable quarter. The higher expenses were primarily due to higher Other expenses, which included an $80.0 million combined regulatory settlement with the SEC and CFTC and expenses related to the operations of Foursight in the current year quarter. The increase also included higher Business development expenses as business travel, conferences and other events increased from the prior year comparable quarter which was substantially curtailed due to COVID-19, higher Floor brokerage and clearing fees, commensurate with higher equity commission revenues and higher Technology and communication expenses related to the development of various trading and management systems and increased market data costs. This increase was partially offset by lower Underwriting costs due to a decrease in the volume of equity and debt underwriting transactions.
Nine Months Ended August 31, 2022
Consolidated Results
Net revenues for the nine months ended August 31, 2022 of $3.79 billion, our second best first nine months results ever, were down 29.7%, compared with an all-time record $5.40 billion for the nine months ended August 31, 2021. Results in the current period reflect a nine months record in advisory revenues, offset by lower results in most of our other businesses.
Earnings before income taxes of $749.1 million were down 54.9% over the prior year record comparable period.
Net earnings attributable to Jefferies Group LLC of $548.0 million were down 55.5% over the prior year record comparable period.
Business Results
Our investment banking net revenues were $2.37 billion for the nine months ended August 31, 2022, compared with $3.32 billion in the prior year record comparable period, with advisory revenues of $1.40 billion in the current year, as mergers and acquisitions activity were a nine months’ record and an increase of 9.1% over the prior year comparable period. Underwriting revenues of $858.6 million were down $1.04 billion, or 54.8%, over the prior year record comparable period, consistent with the reduction in industry-wide deal activity.
Other investment banking revenues during the nine months ended August 31, 2022 include an increase in our share of the net income of Berkadia compared with the prior year comparable period, primarily due to increased mortgage originations, net revenues from Foursight, which was transferred to us on December 1, 2021 and mark-to-market gains of $30.7 million related to certain investments. This was offset by our share of the net loss of our Jefferies Finance joint venture in the current year period, reflecting reduced market activity and higher reserves recorded on its loan portfolio and outstanding commitments due to company-specific developments and difficult conditions in the leveraged finance market compared with net earnings in the prior year comparable period.
Our equities net revenues of $809.3 million are 19.9% lower than the prior year record comparable period, as our first six months of this year were impacted by challenging market conditions for equity trading, as well as significantly reduced Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) activity. This was partially offset by market share gains and ongoing momentum in our client franchise. This compares to record results in predominately all of our equities businesses and across each of our regions during the prior year comparable period.
64

Table of Contents
JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Our fixed income net revenues of $538.9 million were down 34.8% compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to reduced client activity across most products and mark-to-market losses on certain mortgage inventory positions, as increased inflation and interest rate concerns and a slowdown in securitized markets resulted in fewer trading opportunities.
Overall net revenues in our asset management business were $77.3 million, compared with a record $214.6 million in the prior year comparable period, due to significantly lower investment returns for the nine months ended August 31, 2022, as our strategies were materially impacted by a difficult environment and on lower performance by strategies that had exceptionally strong returns during the prior year comparable period.
Expenses
Non-interest expenses of $3.04 billion for the nine months ended August 31, 2022 decreased $693.4 million, or 18.6%, compared with $3.74 billion for the prior year comparable period. The decrease is due to lower compensation and benefits expense, consistent with the decline in net revenues.
Compensation and benefits expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2022 was $1.81 billion, a decrease of $865.4 million, or 32.3%, from the prior year comparable period. Compensation and benefits expense as a percentage of Net revenues was 47.8% for the nine months ended August 31, 2022, compared with 49.6% in the prior year comparable period and 47.9% for the year ended November 30, 2021.
Non-compensation expenses for the nine months ended August 31, 2022 increased $171.9 million to $1.23 billion, compared with $1.06 billion for the prior year comparable period. The higher expenses were primarily due to higher Other expenses, which included an $80.0 million combined regulatory settlement with the SEC and the CFTC and expenses related to the operations of Foursight in the current year period, as well as our charitable donations of $13.5 million from our Ukrainian Doing Good Global Trading Day. Other expenses in the prior year comparable period included bad debt expenses related to our prime brokerage business and charitable donations of $13.2 million to approximately 175 accredited charities. The increase also included higher Business development expenses as business travel, conferences and other events increased from the prior year comparable period which was substantially curtailed due to COVID-19, higher Floor brokerage and clearing fees, commensurate with strong equity commission revenues and higher Technology and communication expenses related to the development of various trading and management systems and increased market data costs. This increase was partially offset by lower Underwriting costs due to a decrease in the volume of equity and debt underwriting transactions.
Headcount
At August 31, 2022, we had 5,065 employees globally, an increase of 621 employees from our headcount of 4,444 at August 31, 2021. Our headcount increased across all regions, primarily as a result of growth in our investment banking businesses, including the addition of approximately 200 employees as a result of the transfer of Foursight from Jefferies to us. The increase was also due to additions in technology and other corporate services staff to support our increased growth and other strategic priorities.
Merger of Jefferies Group LLC into Jefferies
On July 19, 2022, Jefferies announced strategic transactions, including the simplification of its corporate structure by merging us into them. This merger will, among other things, eliminate Jefferies Group LLC’s requirement to file Form 10-Qs, Form 10-Ks, and other duplicative processes, and result in Jefferies assuming our debt obligations. The merger is expected to be completed by fiscal year-end 2022.

Revenues by Source
For presentation purposes, the remainder of “Consolidated Results of Operations” is presented on a detailed product and expense basis, rather than on a business segment basis. Net revenues presented for our Investment Banking and Capital Markets businesses 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.
We changed the presentation of our “Revenues by Source” to present our share of the net earnings of Berkadia within Other investment banking net revenues, which was previously presented within our Other business category. We believe that this change to our revenue reporting better aligns with management’s current view of our business activities related to commercial real estate investment banking and management reporting. Previously reported results are presented on a comparable basis in the tables below.

On December 1, 2021, we expanded the activities of our asset management business to include alternative investment strategies. Previously reported results are presented on a comparable basis in the tables below. Additionally, our other investment banking activities reflect the revenues of Foursight.
The changes to the manner in which we describe and disclose the performance of our business activities has no effect on our historical consolidated results of operation. These changes do not impact our reportable segments and we will continue to report our activities in two business segments: (1) Investment Banking and Capital Markets and (2) Asset Management.
The composition of our net revenues has varied over time as financial markets and the scope of our operations have changed. The composition of net revenues can also vary from period to period due to fluctuations in economic and market conditions, and our own performance.

(1)Allocated net interest is not separately disaggregated for Investment Banking and Capital Markets. This presentation is aligned to our Investment Banking and Capital Markets internal performance measurement.
(2)Allocated net interest represents an allocation to Asset Management of our long-term debt interest expense, net of interest income on our Cash and cash equivalents and other sources of liquidity. Allocated net interest has been disaggregated to increase transparency and to make clearer actual Investment return. We believe that aggregating Investment return and Allocated net interest would obscure the Investment return by including an amount that is unique to our credit spreads, debt maturity profile, capital structure, liquidity risks and allocation methods.

Three Months Ended August 31, 2022
Investment banking revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2022 were $681.8 million, compared with $1.20 billion for the three months ended August 31, 2021, primarily due to lower underwriting net revenues, consistent with the reduction in industry-wide deal activity due to a challenging market environment.
Our advisory revenues were $486.8 million, modestly down 16.6% compared to the prior year comparable quarter, with activity in the global mergers and acquisitions markets remaining strong, as we benefit from market share gains as we continue to support our clients through this volatile time.
Total underwriting revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2022 were $227.9 million, a decrease of 61.8% from $596.8 million in the prior year comparable quarter, reflecting lower net revenues of $151.0 million in equity underwriting and lower net revenues of $76.9 million in debt underwriting. The decline in our debt and equity underwriting net revenues are consistent with a general slowdown in new issuance as a result of uncertain economic and market conditions due to inflation, rising interest rates and market volatility.

JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Other investment banking net revenues were a net loss of $32.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2022, compared with net revenues of $20.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021. Other investment banking revenues during the three months ended August 31, 2022 include an increase in our share of the net income of Berkadia compared with the prior year comparable quarter, primarily due to increased mortgage originations, and net revenues from Foursight, which was transferred to us on December 1, 2021. This was offset in the current quarter by our share of the net loss of our Jefferies Finance joint venture reflecting reduced market activity and higher reserves recorded on its loan portfolio and outstanding commitments due to company-specific developments and difficult conditions in the leveraged finance market.
Our investment banking backlog is consistent with last quarter’s levels, but execution remains dependent on market conditions. As an indicator of net revenues in a given future period, backlog is subject to limitations. The time frame for the realization of revenues from these expected transactions varies and is influenced by factors we do not control. Transactions not included in our backlog may be completed, and expected transactions may be modified, delayed or cancelled.
Nine Months Ended August 31, 2022
Investment banking revenues for the nine months ended August 31, 2022 were $2.37 billion, compared with a record $3.32 billion for the nine months ended August 31, 2021, reflecting record revenues in mergers and acquisitions, offset by lower revenues in debt and equity underwriting.
Our advisory revenues were a record of $1.40 billion, up $116.5 million, or 9.1%, compared to the prior year comparable period, as activity in the mergers and acquisitions markets remained strong and the number of our completed transactions continued to increase, especially in the first quarter of the current year period.
Total underwriting revenues for the nine months ended August 31, 2022 were $858.6 million, a decrease of 54.8% from a record $1.90 billion in the prior year comparable period, reflecting lower net revenues of $429.5 million in equity underwriting and $429.1 million in debt underwriting. The decline in our debt and equity underwriting net revenues was consistent with the substantial reduction in industry-wide deal activity, including a slowdown in SPAC transactions as compared with the prior year comparable period. The current year period was impacted by the challenging equity and debt markets, while the prior year comparable period results benefited as clients took advantage of the strong equity environment to raise equity capital and as companies took advantage of the low rate environment to access the debt capital markets with high levels of activity in the leveraged loan new issuance markets and record levels of high yield bond refinancing activity.
Other investment banking net revenues were $111.0 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2022, compared with net revenues of $131.3 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2021. Other investment banking revenues during the nine months ended August 31, 2022 include an increase in our share of the net income of Berkadia compared with the prior year comparable period, primarily due to increased mortgage originations, net revenues from Foursight, which was transferred to us on December 1, 2021 and mark-to-market gains of $30.7 million related to certain investments. This was offset by our share of the net loss of our Jefferies Finance joint venture in the current year period, reflecting reduced market activity and higher reserves recorded on its loan portfolio and outstanding commitments due to company-specific developments and difficult conditions in the leveraged finance market compared with net earnings in the prior year comparable period.
Equities Net Revenues
Equities is comprised of net revenues from:
services provided to our clients from which we earn commissions or spread revenue by executing, settling and clearing transactions for clients;
advisory services offered to clients;
financing, securities lending and other prime brokerage services offered to clients, including capital introductions and outsourced trading; and
wealth management services.
Three Months Ended August 31, 2022
Total equities net revenues were $277.4 million for the three months ended August 31, 2022, higher than the $236.5 million recorded for the prior year comparable quarter. This quarter’s revenues benefited from higher commissions and trading revenues, as our business continues to expand within the context of a more normalized trading environment.

JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Results in our U.S. cash equities business reflected higher trading revenues, compared to mark-to-market losses from SPAC-related activity in the prior year comparable quarter. Our electronic trading and prime brokerage businesses had increased revenues, reflecting increased client trading volumes driving strong commission revenues and continued growth and momentum in our outsourced trading business. Additionally, the global equities business recognized losses on certain block positions in the prior year comparable quarter that were not repeated in the current year quarter.
The increase in our equities net revenues was offset by lower revenues in our equity derivatives business, primarily driven by reduced volatility and lower trading volumes driving a challenging market environment.
Nine Months Ended August 31, 2022
Total equities net revenues were $809.3 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2022, compared with $1.01 billion for the prior year comparable period, as our first six months of this year results were impacted by challenging market conditions for equity trading, as well as significantly reduced SPAC-related activity, partially offset by market share gains and ongoing momentum in our client franchise. This compares to all-time record results in predominately all our equities businesses and across each of our regions during the nine months ended August 31, 2021.
Results in our global cash equities business were lower across regions driven by lower trading revenues versus record results globally and across each region on strong market volumes in the prior year comparable period. The prior year comparable period also benefited from trading opportunities related to SPACs. Our global convertibles business also had lower revenues, primarily driven by weaker equity markets and widening credit spreads compared to a strong issuance market in the prior year comparable period and our equity derivatives business results declined as a difficult and challenging trading environment put pressure on trading activity during the current year period.
The lower results were offset by record nine months results in our electronic trading and prime brokerage businesses, reflecting increased client trading volumes driving strong commission revenues and by continued growth and momentum in our outsourced trading business. Additionally, the global equities business recognized losses on certain block positions in the prior year comparable period that were not repeated in the current year period.
Fixed Income Net Revenues
Fixed income is comprised of net revenues from:
executing transactions for clients and making markets in securitized products, investment grade, high-yield, distressed, emerging markets, municipal and sovereign securities and bank loans, as well as foreign exchange execution on behalf of clients;
interest rate derivatives and credit derivatives; and
financing services offered to clients.
Three Months Ended August 31, 2022
Fixed income net revenues totaled $174.6 million for the three months ended August 31, 2022, a decrease of 15.1% from net revenues of $205.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021, primarily reflecting mark-to-market losses on certain mortgage inventory positions and a slowdown in securitized markets.
Results in certain U.S. securitized markets group products were significantly impacted by high levels of volatility, widening spreads and uncertainty in respect of increased inflation and interest rates concerns, leading to mark-to-market losses on these products and a significant decline in demand for securitized products.
Our results reflect higher revenues in our emerging markets, municipal securities, and portfolio and electronic execution businesses due to growth and an increase in trading opportunities, as increased volatility due to geopolitical concerns drove an increase in trading volumes during the current year quarter. This was offset by results across our distressed credit trading business that were lower on a slowdown in trading opportunities.
Nine Months Ended August 31, 2022
Fixed income net revenues totaled $538.9 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2022, a decrease of 34.8% from net revenues of $826.4 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2021, primarily due to reduced client activity across most products, mark-to-market losses on certain mortgage inventory positions and a slowdown in securitized markets resulting in fewer trading opportunities. The prior year comparable period results were reflective of particularly strong client activity and robust trading activity.
Results in certain U.S. securitized markets group products were significantly impacted by high levels of volatility, widening spreads and uncertainty in respect of increased inflation and interest rate concerns, leading to mark-to-market losses on these products and a significant decline in demand for securitized products.

Table of Contents
JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
We achieved higher revenues in our emerging markets and portfolio and electronic execution businesses, primarily in the second half of the current year period, as increased volatility due to geopolitical concerns drove an increase in trading volumes and as a result of growth in certain of these businesses. This was offset by results across most of our credit franchise businesses that were lower on a slowdown in trading opportunities as compared to the prior year comparable period that reflected robust revenues across regions and products.
Other
Other is comprised of revenues from:
principal investments in private equity and hedge funds managed by third-parties, which are not part of our Leucadia Asset Management platform, and other strategic investment positions; and
investments held as part of employee benefit plans, including deferred compensation plans (for which we incur an equal and offsetting amount of compensation expense).
Three Months Ended August 31, 2022
Our other net revenues were $0.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2022, a decrease of $6.1 million compared with net revenues of $7.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021.
Nine Months Ended August 31, 2022
Our other net revenues were a loss of $5.2 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2022, a decrease of $34.2 million compared with net revenues of $29.0 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2021.
Asset Management
We operate a diversified alternative asset management platform offering institutional clients an innovative range of investment strategies directly and through our affiliated asset managers. We provide certain of our affiliated asset managers access to our fully integrated global operational infrastructure and support. This may include strategy and product development, daily operations and finance-related activities, compliance, legal and human resources support, as well as marketing and business development.
Asset management revenue includes the following:
management and performance fees from funds and accounts managed by us;
revenue from affiliated asset managers where we are entitled to portions of their revenues and/or profits, as well as earnings on our ownership interests in our affiliated asset managers;
investment income from capital invested in and managed by us, Jefferies and our affiliated asset managers; and
alternative investing activities across a range of sectors.
The key components of asset management revenues are the level of assets under management and the performance return, for the most part on an absolute basis, and, in certain cases, relative to a benchmark or hurdle. These components can be affected by financial markets, profits and losses in the applicable investment portfolios and client capital activity. Further, asset management fees vary with the nature of investment management services. The terms under which clients may terminate our investment management authority, and the requisite notice period for such termination, varies depending on the nature of the investment vehicle and the liquidity of the portfolio assets. In some instances, performance fees and similar revenues are recognized once a year, when they become fixed and determinable and are not probable of being significantly reversed, typically in December. As a result, a significant portion of our performance fees and similar revenues generated from investment returns in a calendar year are recognized in our following fiscal year.

Three Months Ended August 31, 2022
Total asset management fees and revenues in the three months ended August 31, 2022 were $17.1 million, compared with $10.3 million in the prior year comparable quarter. The increase was due to performance and similar fees and revenues earned through our strategic affiliates and higher asset management fees on funds managed by us.
Our investment return in the three months ended August 31, 2022 was a net loss of $19.7 million, compared with a net profit of $0.6 million in the prior year comparable quarter, as our strategies were impacted by a difficult environment, primarily for our energy and credit funds. Results in both the current and prior year quarter also include allocated net interest expenses of $11.2 million.
Nine Months Ended August 31, 2022
Total asset management fees and revenues in the nine months ended August 31, 2022 were $75.7 million, compared with $62.3 million in the prior year comparable period, primarily due to higher asset management fees on funds managed by us and performance and similar fees and revenues earned through our strategic affiliates.
Our investment return in the nine months ended August 31, 2022 was $40.5 million, compared with $185.3 million in the prior year comparable period, as our strategies were significantly impacted by a difficult environment for most of our funds and lower performance by strategies that had very strong returns during the prior year comparable period. Results were partially offset by fair value increases for the period on certain investments transferred to us from Jefferies. Results in the current year period also include allocated net interest expenses of $38.9 million, compared with $33.0 million in the prior year comparable period.
Assets under Management
We and our affiliated asset managers have aggregate net asset values or net asset value equivalent assets under management of approximately $31.3 billion and $14.3 billion at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively. Net asset values or net asset value equivalent assets under management are comprised of the fair value of the net assets of a fund or the net capital invested in a separately managed account. These include the following:
Net asset values of investments made by us or by Jefferies in funds or separately managed accounts were $2.4 billion at August 31, 2022 and $2.6 billion at November 30, 2021. We invest in certain strategies using our own capital often before opening a strategy to outside capital. The net asset values include our capital of $1.6 billion at August 31, 2022 and $1.6 billion at November 30, 2021 plus amounts financed of $0.8 billion at August 31, 2022 and $1.0 billion at November 30, 2021. Revenues related to the investments made by us are presented in Investment return within the results of our asset management businesses.
The assets under management by affiliated asset managers with whom we have an ongoing profit or revenue sharing arrangement were $27.6 billion at August 31, 2022 and $10.9 billion at November 30, 2021, primarily reflecting increases from the transfer of investments from Jefferies to us on December 1, 2021 (see Note 1, Organization and Basis of Presentation for further details). Revenues from our share of fees received by affiliated asset managers are presented in Revenue from strategic affiliates within the results of our asset management businesses.

The change in assets under management during the three months ended August 31, 2022 is primarily due to the transition to new management of certain of our third-party net assets and net market depreciation, partially offset by new subscriptions and investments from third-parties. The change in assets under management during the nine months ended August 31, 2022 is primarily due to new subscriptions and investments from third-parties. The change in assets under management during the three months ended August 31, 2021 is primarily due to new subscriptions and investments from third-parties and net market appreciation. The change in assets under management during the nine months ended August 31, 2021 is primarily due to the transfer of third-party net assets from Jefferies to us, new subscriptions and investments from third-parties, partially offset by redemptions from certain funds that are in the process of being liquidated.
Our definition of assets under management is not based on any definition contained in any of our investment management agreements and differs from the manner in which “Regulatory Assets Under Management” is reported to the SEC on Form ADV.

Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits expense consists of salaries, benefits, commissions, annual cash compensation and share-based awards and the amortization of share-based and cash compensation awards to employees.
Cash and share-based awards and a portion of cash awards granted to employees as part of year end compensation generally contain provisions such that employees who terminate their employment or are terminated without cause may continue to vest in their awards, so long as those awards are not forfeited as a result of other forfeiture provisions (primarily non-compete clauses) of those awards. Accordingly, the compensation expense for such awards granted at year end as part of annual compensation is recorded during the year of the award. Compensation and benefits expense also includes amortization expense related to awards granted where vesting is contingent on future service. In addition, the share-based awards to our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and our Chairman of the Executive Committee contain market and performance conditions and the awards are amortized over their service periods.
Compensation and benefits expense was $534.0 million and $1.81 billion for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, respectively, compared with $767.6 million and $2.68 billion for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, respectively, consistent with the decrease in our net revenues. A significant portion of our compensation expense is highly variable with net revenues.
Compensation and benefits expense as a percentage of Net revenues was 47.6% and 47.8% for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, respectively, compared with 46.5% and 49.6% for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, respectively, and 47.9% for the year ended November 30, 2021.
Compensation expense related to the amortization of share- and cash-based awards amounted to $40.6 million and $120.4 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, respectively, compared with $51.1 million and $146.9 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, respectively.

Employee headcount was 5,065 at August 31, 2022, an increase of 621 employees from our headcount of 4,444 at August 31, 2021. Our headcount increased across all regions, primarily as a result of growth in our investment banking business, including the addition of approximately 200 employees as a result of the transfer of Foursight from Jefferies to us. The increase was also due to additions in technology and other corporate services staff to support our increased growth and other strategic priorities.
Refer to Note 13, Compensation Plans, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further details on compensation and benefits.
Non-Compensation Expenses
Three Months Ended August 31, 2022
Non-compensation expenses were $463.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2022, an increase of $141.1 million, or 43.7%, compared with $322.7 million in the three months ended August 31, 2021.
The higher expenses were principally due to higher Other expenses, which included an $80.0 million combined regulatory settlement with the SEC and the CFTC and expenses related to the operations of Foursight in the current year quarter. The increase also included higher Business development expenses as business travel, conferences and other events increased from the prior year comparable quarter which was substantially curtailed due to COVID-19, higher Floor brokerage and clearing fees, commensurate with higher equity commission revenues and higher Technology and communication expenses related to the development of various trading and management systems and increased market data costs. This increase was partially offset by lower Underwriting costs due to a decrease in the volume of equity and debt underwriting transactions.
Non-compensation expenses as a percentage of Net revenues was 41.4% and 19.6% for the three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Nine Months Ended August 31, 2022
Non-compensation expenses were $1,231.2 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2022, an increase of $171.9 million, or 16.2%, compared with $1,059.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2021.
The higher expenses were primarily due to higher Other expenses, which included an $80.0 million combined regulatory settlement with the SEC and the CFTC and expenses related to the operations of Foursight in the current year period, as well as our charitable donations of $13.5 million from our Ukrainian Doing Good Global Trading Day. Other expenses in the prior year comparable period included bad debt expenses related to our prime brokerage business and charitable donations of $13.2 million to approximately 175 accredited charities. The increase also included higher Business development expenses as business travel, conferences and other events increased from the prior year comparable period which was substantially curtailed due to COVID-19, higher Floor brokerage and clearing fees, commensurate with strong equity commission revenues and higher Technology and communication expenses related to the development of various trading and management systems and increased market data costs. This increase was partially offset by lower Underwriting costs due to a decrease in the volume of equity and debt underwriting transactions.
Non-compensation expenses as a percentage of Net revenues was 32.5% and 19.6% for the nine months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, the provision for income taxes was $57.4 million and $200.4 million, respectively, equating to an effective tax rate of 46.6% and 26.7%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021, the provision for income taxes was $140.6 million and $428.7 million, respectively, equating to an effective tax rate of 25.1% and 25.8%, respectively.
The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year comparable quarter, is primarily due to a non-deductible combined regulatory settlement with the SEC and CFTC.
The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended August 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year comparable period, is primarily due to changes in the geographical mix of earnings.

Accounting Developments
There are no accounting standard updates, which we have either determined are applicable or expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results can and may differ from estimates. These differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
We believe our application of U.S. GAAP and the associated estimates are reasonable. Our accounting estimates are reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Historically, we have found our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using necessary estimates.
We believe our critical accounting policies (policies that are both material to the financial condition and results of operations and require our most subjective or complex judgments) are our valuation of certain financial instruments and assessment of goodwill.
For further discussions of the following significant accounting policies and other significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, 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, 2021 and Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Valuation of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments owned and Financial instruments sold, not yet purchased are recorded at fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). Unrealized gains or losses are generally recognized in Principal transactions revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
For information on the composition of our Financial instruments owned and Financial instruments sold, not yet purchased recorded at fair value, see Note 3, Fair Value Disclosures, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Fair Value Hierarchy – In determining fair value, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. We apply a hierarchy to categorize our fair value measurements broken down into three levels based on the transparency of inputs, where Level 1 uses observable prices in active markets and Level 3 uses valuation techniques that incorporate significant unobservable inputs. Greater use of management judgment is required in determining fair value when inputs are less observable or unobservable in the marketplace, such as when the volume or level of trading activity for a financial instrument has decreased and when certain factors suggest that observed transactions may not be reflective of orderly market transactions. Judgment must be applied in determining the appropriateness of available prices, particularly in assessing whether available data reflects current prices and/or reflects the results of recent market transactions. Prices or quotes are weighed when estimating fair value with greater reliability placed on information from transactions that are considered to be representative of orderly market transactions.
Fair value is a market-based measure; therefore, when market observable inputs are not available, our judgment is applied to reflect those judgments that a market participant would use in valuing the same asset or liability. The availability of observable inputs can vary for different products. We use prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date even in periods of market disruption or illiquidity. The valuation of financial instruments categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy involves the greatest extent of management judgment. (See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, 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, 2021 and Note 3, Fair Value Disclosures, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the definitions of fair value, Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 and related valuation techniques.)
Level 3 Assets and Liabilities – For information on the composition and activity of our Level 3 assets and Level 3 liabilities, see Note 3, Fair Value Disclosures, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Controls Over the Valuation Process for Financial Instruments – Our Independent Price Verification Group, independent of the trading function, plays an important role in determining that our financial instruments are appropriately valued and that fair value measurements are reliable. This is particularly important where prices or valuations that require inputs are less observable. In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to assure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and that the assumptions are reasonable. Where a pricing model is used to determine fair value, these control processes include reviews of the pricing model’s theoretical soundness and appropriateness by risk management personnel with relevant expertise who are independent from the trading desks. In addition, recently executed comparable transactions and other observable market data are considered for purposes of validating assumptions underlying the model.
Goodwill
At August 31, 2022, Goodwill recorded in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition is $1.63 billion (3.2% of total assets). The nature and accounting for goodwill is discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, 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, 2021 and Note 9, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Goodwill must be allocated to reporting units and tested for impairment at least annually, or when circumstances or events make it more likely than not that an impairment occurred. Goodwill is tested by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. Our annual goodwill impairment testing date is August 1, which did not indicate any goodwill impairment in any of our reporting units at August 1, 2022.
We use allocated tangible equity plus allocated goodwill and intangible assets for the carrying amount of each reporting unit. The amount of tangible equity allocated to a reporting unit is based on our cash capital model deployed in managing our businesses, which seeks to approximate the capital a business would require if it were operating independently. For further information on our Cash Capital Policy, refer to the Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources section herein. Intangible assets are allocated to a reporting unit based on either specifically identifying a particular intangible asset as pertaining to a reporting unit or, if shared among reporting units, based on an assessment of the reporting unit’s benefit from the intangible asset in order to generate results.
Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit requires management judgment and often involves the use of estimates and assumptions that could have a significant effect on whether or not an impairment charge is recorded and the magnitude of such a charge. Estimated fair values for our reporting units utilize market valuation methods that incorporate price-to-earnings and price-to-book multiples of comparable public companies. 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 apply a control premium to arrive at the estimate of fair value of each reporting unit on a controlling basis.
The carrying values of goodwill by reporting unit at August 31, 2022 are as follows: $561.7 million in Investment Banking, $159.5 million in Equities and Wealth Management, and $912.0 million in Fixed Income.
The results of our assessment on August 1, 2022 indicated that all our reporting units had a fair value in excess of their carrying amounts based on current projections. The valuation methodology for our reporting units are sensitive to management’s forecasts of future profitability, which are a significant component of the valuation and come with a level of uncertainty regarding trading volumes and capital market transaction levels.
Refer to Note 9, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further details on goodwill.

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources
Our CFO and Global Treasurer are responsible for developing and implementing our liquidity, funding and capital management strategies. These policies are determined by the nature and needs of our day to day business operations, business opportunities, regulatory obligations, and liquidity requirements.
Our actual levels of capital, total assets and financial leverage are a function of a number of factors, including asset composition, business initiatives and opportunities, regulatory requirements and cost and availability of both long term and short term funding. We have historically maintained a balance sheet consisting of a large portion of our total assets in cash and liquid marketable securities, arising principally from traditional securities brokerage and trading activity. The liquid nature of these assets provides us with flexibility in financing and managing our business.
We maintain modest leverage to support our investment grade ratings. The growth of our balance sheet is supported by our equity and we have quantitative metrics in place to monitor leverage and double leverage. Our capital plan is robust, in order to sustain our operating model through stressed conditions. We maintain adequate financial resources to support business activities in both normal and stressed market conditions, including a buffer in excess of our regulatory, or other internal or external, requirements. Our access to funding and liquidity is stable and efficient to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity to meet our financial obligations in normal and stressed market conditions.
Our Balance Sheet
A business unit level balance sheet and cash capital analysis are prepared and reviewed with senior management on a weekly basis. As a part of this balance sheet review process, capital is allocated to all assets and gross balance sheet limits are adjusted, as necessary. This process ensures that the allocation of capital and costs of capital are incorporated into business decisions. The goals of this process are to protect the firm’s platform, enable our businesses to remain competitive, maintain the ability to manage capital proactively and hold businesses accountable for both balance sheet and capital usage.
We actively monitor and evaluate our financial condition and the composition of our assets and liabilities. We continually monitor our overall securities inventory, including the inventory turnover rate, which confirms the liquidity of our overall assets. Substantially all of our financial instruments are valued on a daily basis and we monitor and employ balance sheet limits for our various businesses.

Total assets at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021 were $51.18 billion and $54.77 billion, respectively, a decrease of 6.5%. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, average total assets were approximately 11.5% and 17.7% higher, respectively, than total assets at August 31, 2022.
Our total Financial instruments owned inventory was $20.00 billion at August 31, 2022, an increase of 3.4%, from $19.34 billion at November 30, 2021. During the nine months ended August 31, 2022, our total Financial instruments owned inventory increased primarily due to increases in government and federal agency securities and corporate equity securities, partially offset by decreases in loans and corporate debt securities. Financial instruments sold, not yet purchased inventory was $11.53 billion at August 31, 2022, a decrease of 1.3% from $11.69 billion at November 30, 2021, with the decrease primarily driven by decreases in loans and corporate debt securities, partially offset by increases in government and federal agency securities and corporate equity securities. Our overall net inventory position was $8.47 billion and $7.65 billion at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively, with the increase primarily due to increases in government and federal agency securities and corporate equity securities, partially offset by decreases in loans and corporate debt securities.
Our Level 3 Financial instruments owned as a percentage of total Financial instruments owned increased to 3.4% at August 31, 2022 from 1.7% at November 30, 2021. The increase in Level 3 financial instruments owned of $348.9 million is primarily related to investments that were transferred to us from Jefferies on December 1, 2021, which had a total fair value of $263.2 million at August 31, 2022. Approximately 61.2% of the transferred investments are classified as Level 3 financial instruments and are part of our asset management alternative investing activities. The remaining 38.8% of transferred investments pertain to investment banking and our other business and do not reflect an increase in our fixed income and equities capital markets trading inventory.
See Note 1, Organization and Basis of Presentation, and Note 3, Fair Value Disclosures, for further details.
Securities financing assets and liabilities include financing for our financial instruments trading activity, matched book transactions and mortgage finance transactions. Matched book transactions accommodate customers, as well as obtain securities for the settlement and financing of inventory positions. The aggregate outstanding balance of our securities financing assets and liabilities increase or decrease from period to period depending on fluctuations in the level of our client activity and the level of our own trading activity. Our average month end balances of total reverse repos and stock borrows during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022 were 33.3% and 49.0% higher, respectively, than the August 31, 2022 balance. Our average month end balances of total repos and stock loans during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022 were 32.3% and 52.8% higher, respectively, than the August 31, 2022 balance.

Fluctuations in the balance of our repurchase agreements from period to period and intraperiod are dependent on business activity in those periods. Additionally, the fluctuations in the balances of our securities purchased under agreements to resell are influenced in any given period by our clients’ balances and our clients’ desires to execute collateralized financing arrangements via the repurchase market or via other financing products. Average balances and period end balances will fluctuate based on market and liquidity conditions and we consider the fluctuations intraperiod to be typical for the repurchase market.

Liquidity Management
The key objectives of the liquidity management framework are to support the successful execution of our business strategies while ensuring sufficient liquidity through the business cycle and during periods of financial distress. Our liquidity management policies are designed to mitigate the potential risk that we may be unable to access adequate financing to service our financial obligations without material franchise or business impact.
The principal elements of our liquidity management framework are our Contingency Funding Plan, our Cash Capital Policy and our assessment of Modeled Liquidity Outflow (“MLO”).
Contingency Funding Plan. Our Contingency Funding Plan is based on a model of a potential liquidity contraction over a one year time period. This incorporates potential cash outflows during a market or our idiosyncratic liquidity stress event, including, but not limited to, the following:
Repayment of all unsecured debt maturing within one year and no incremental unsecured debt issuance;
Maturity rolloff of outstanding letters of credit with no further issuance and replacement with cash collateral;
Higher margin requirements than currently exist on assets on securities financing activity, including repurchase agreements;
Liquidity outflows related to possible credit downgrade;
Lower availability of secured funding;
Client cash withdrawals;
The anticipated funding of outstanding investment and loan commitments; and
Certain accrued expenses and other liabilities and fixed costs.
Cash Capital Policy. We maintain a cash capital model that measures long-term funding sources against requirements. Sources of cash capital include our equity and the noncurrent portion of long-term borrowings. Uses of cash capital include the following:
Illiquid assets such as equipment, goodwill, net intangible assets, exchange memberships, deferred tax assets and certain investments;
A portion of securities inventory that is not expected to be financed on a secured basis in a credit stressed environment (i.e., margin requirements); and
Drawdowns of unfunded commitments.

Table of Contents
JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
To ensure that we do not need to liquidate inventory in the event of a funding stress, we seek to maintain surplus cash capital. Our total long-term capital of $14.27 billion at August 31, 2022 exceeded our cash capital requirements.
MLO. Our businesses are diverse, and our liquidity needs are determined by many factors, including market movements, collateral requirements and client commitments, all of which can change dramatically in a difficult funding environment. During a liquidity stress, credit-sensitive funding, including unsecured debt and some types of secured financing agreements, may be unavailable, and the terms (e.g., interest rates, collateral provisions and tenor) or availability of other types of secured financing may change. As a result of our policy to ensure we have sufficient funds to cover what we estimate may be needed in a liquidity stress, we hold more cash and unencumbered securities and have greater long-term debt balances than our businesses would otherwise require. As part of this estimation process, we calculate an MLO that could be experienced in a liquidity stress. MLO is based on a scenario that includes both a market-wide stress and firm-specific stress, characterized by some or all of the following elements:
Global recession, default by a medium-sized sovereign, low consumer and corporate confidence, and general financial instability.
Severely challenged market environment with material declines in equity markets and widening of credit spreads.
Damaging follow-on impacts to financial institutions leading to the failure of a large bank.
A firm-specific crisis potentially triggered by material losses, reputational damage, litigation, executive departure, and/or a ratings downgrade.
The following are the critical modeling parameters of the MLO:
Liquidity needs over a 30-day scenario.
A two-notch downgrade of our long-term senior unsecured credit ratings.
No support from government funding facilities.
A combination of contractual outflows, such as upcoming maturities of unsecured debt, and contingent outflows (e.g., actions though not contractually required, we may deem necessary in a crisis). We assume that most contingent outflows will occur within the initial days and weeks of a stress.
No diversification benefit across liquidity risks. We assume that liquidity risks are additive.
The calculation of our MLO under the above stresses and modeling parameters considers the following potential contractual and contingent cash and collateral outflows:
All upcoming maturities of unsecured long-term debt, commercial paper, promissory notes and other unsecured funding products assuming we will be unable to issue new unsecured debt or rollover any maturing debt.
Repurchases of our outstanding long-term debt in the ordinary course of business as a market maker.
A portion of upcoming contractual maturities of secured funding trades due to either the inability to refinance or the ability to refinance only at wider haircuts (i.e., on terms which require us to post additional collateral). Our assumptions reflect, among other factors, the quality of the underlying collateral and counterparty concentration.
Collateral postings to counterparties due to adverse changes in the value of our over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and other outflows due to trade terminations, collateral substitutions, collateral disputes, collateral calls or termination payments required by a two-notch downgrade in our credit ratings.
Variation margin postings required due to adverse changes in the value of our outstanding exchange-traded derivatives and any increase in initial margin and guarantee fund requirements by derivative clearing houses.
Liquidity outflows associated with our prime services business, including withdrawals of customer credit balances, and a reduction in customer short positions.
Liquidity outflows to clearing banks to ensure timely settlements of cash and securities transactions.
Draws on our unfunded commitments considering, among other things, the type of commitment and counterparty.
Other upcoming large cash outflows, such as tax payments.
Based on the sources and uses of liquidity calculated under the MLO scenarios, we determine, based on a calculated surplus or deficit, additional long-term funding that may be needed versus funding through the repurchase financing market and consider any adjustments that may be necessary to our inventory balances and cash holdings. At August 31, 2022, we had sufficient excess liquidity to meet all contingent cash outflows detailed in the MLO. We regularly refine our model to reflect changes in market or economic conditions and our business mix.

The remaining $14.9 million at both August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021 are invested in AAA rated prime money funds. The average balance of U.S. government money funds for the three months ended August 31, 2022 was $4.07 billion.
(3)Consists of high quality sovereign government securities and reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities and other high quality sovereign government securities; deposits with a central bank within the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan, Switzerland or the U.S.; and securities issued by a designated multilateral development bank and reverse repurchase agreements with underlying collateral comprised of these securities.
(4)Other includes unencumbered inventory representing an estimate of the amount of additional secured financing that could be reasonably expected to be obtained from our Financial instruments owned that are currently not pledged after considering reasonable financing haircuts.
In addition to the cash balances and liquidity pool presented above, the majority of financial instruments (both long and short) in our trading accounts are actively traded and readily marketable. At August 31, 2022, we had the ability to readily obtain repurchase financing for 73.9% of our inventory at haircuts of 10% or less, which reflects the liquidity of our inventory. In addition, as a matter of our policy, all of these assets have internal capital assessed, which is in addition to the funding haircuts provided in the securities finance markets. Additionally, certain of our Financial instruments owned, primarily consisting of bank loans, consumer loans and investments are predominantly funded by long term capital. Under our cash capital policy, we model capital allocation levels that are more stringent than the haircuts used in the market for secured funding; and we maintain surplus capital at these more stringent levels. We continually assess the liquidity of our inventory based on the level at which we could obtain financing in the marketplace for a given asset. Assets are considered to be liquid if financing can be obtained in the repurchase market or the securities lending market at collateral haircut levels of 10% or less.

Average unencumbered liquid financial instruments were $1.90 billion and $1.87 billion, respectively, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, and $1.97 billion and $1.79 billion for the three and twelve months ended November 30, 2021, respectively.
In addition to being able to be readily financed at reasonable haircut levels, we estimate that each of the individual securities within each asset class above could be sold into the market and converted into cash within three business days under normal market conditions, assuming that the entire portfolio of a given asset class was not simultaneously liquidated. There are no restrictions on the unencumbered liquid securities, nor have they been pledged as collateral.
Sources of Funding and Capital Resources
Our assets are funded by equity capital, senior debt, securities loaned, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, customer free credit balances, bank loans and other payables.
Secured Financing
We rely principally on readily available secured funding to finance our inventory of financial instruments. Our ability to support increases in total assets is largely a function of our ability to obtain short and intermediate-term secured funding, primarily through securities financing transactions. We finance a portion of our long inventory and cover some of our short inventory by pledging and borrowing securities in the form of repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements (collectively “repos”), respectively. At August 31, 2022, approximately 68.0% of our cash and noncash repurchase financing activities use collateral that is considered eligible collateral by central clearing corporations. During the nine months ended August 31, 2022, an average of approximately 75.4% of our cash and noncash repurchase financing activities used collateral that was considered eligible collateral by central clearing corporations. Central clearing corporations are situated between participating members who borrow cash and lend securities (or vice versa); accordingly, repo participants contract with the central clearing corporation and not one another individually. Therefore, counterparty credit risk is borne by the central clearing corporation which mitigates the risk through initial margin demands and variation margin calls from repo participants. The comparatively large proportion of our total repo activity that is eligible for central clearing reflects the high quality and liquid composition of the inventory we carry in our trading books. For those asset classes not eligible for central clearing house financing, we seek to execute our bi-lateral financings on an extended term basis and the tenor of our repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements generally exceeds the expected holding period of the assets we are financing. The weighted average maturity of cash and noncash repurchase agreements for non-clearing corporation eligible funded inventory is approximately eight months at August 31, 2022.

Our ability to finance our inventory via central clearinghouses and bi-lateral arrangements is augmented by our ability to draw bank loans on an uncommitted basis under our various banking arrangements. At August 31, 2022, short-term borrowings, which must be repaid within one year or less totaled $564.2 million and include bank loans and overdrafts of $7.4 million, borrowings under revolving credit facilities of $550.0 million and floating rate puttable notes of $6.8 million. Interest under the bank lines is generally at a spread over the federal funds rate. Letters of credit are used in the normal course of business mostly to satisfy various collateral requirements in favor of exchanges in lieu of depositing cash or securities. Average daily short-term borrowings outstanding were $389.6 million and $399.1 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2022, respectively.
Our borrowings under credit facilities 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, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under these credit facilities.
For additional details on our short-term borrowings, refer to Note 10, Short-Term Borrowings, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In addition to the above financing arrangements, we issue notes backed by eligible collateral under master repurchase agreements, which provides an additional financing source for our inventory (our “repurchase agreement financing program”). We also issue notes through SPEs collateralized by auto loans. The notes issued under these programs are presented within Other secured financings in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. At August 31, 2022, the outstanding notes totaled $2.15 billion, bear interest at spreads over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rates or as stated in agreements and have maturities ranging from September 2022 to October 2029.
For additional details on these programs, refer to Note 7, Variable Interest Entities, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Total Long-Term Capital
At August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, we had total long-term capital of $14.27 billion and $14.38 billion, respectively, resulting in a long-term debt to equity capital ratio of 0.82:1 and 1.03:1, respectively. See “Equity Capital” herein for further information on our change in total equity. Our total long-term capital base at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021 was as follows (in thousands):
August 31, 2022November 30, 2021
Unsecured Long-Term Debt (1)$6,411,085 $7,303,866

(1)The amounts at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021 exclude our secured long-term debt. The amount at August 31, 2022 also excludes an additional $11.6 million of our structured notes and $249.4 million of unsecured credit facilities that mature within one year. The amount at November 30, 2021 also excludes $11.4 million of structured notes as these notes matured on June 10, 2022.
Long-Term Debt
During the nine months ended August 31, 2022, long-term debt decreased by $467.5 million to $7.57 billion at August 31, 2022, as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, primarily due to fair value changes in our structured notes, gains on certain of our senior notes associated with interest rate swaps based on their designation as fair value hedges and approximately $66.2 million of net repayments related to our unsecured long-term debt, partially offset by structured notes issuances, net of retirements, of approximately $162.5 million and net issuances of approximately $93.7 million related to our secured credit facilities. At August 31, 2022, all of our structured notes contain various interest rate payment terms and are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk presented in other comprehensive income and changes in fair value resulting from non-credit components recognized in Principal transactions revenues. The fair value of all of our structured notes at August 31, 2022 was $1.52 billion.

JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
At August 31, 2022, our borrowings under several credit facilities classified within Long-term debt in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition amounted to $1.05 billion. Interest on these credit facilities is based on adjusted LIBOR rates or other adjusted rates, as defined in the various credit agreements. The credit facility agreements contain certain covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain specified levels of tangible net worth and liquidity amounts, 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, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under theses credit facilities.
In addition, one of our subsidiaries has a Loan and Security Agreement with a bank for a term loan (“Secured Bank Loan”). At August 31, 2022, borrowings under the Secured Bank Loan amounted to $100.0 million and are also classified within Long-term debt in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The Secured Bank Loan matures on September 13, 2024, has an interest rate of 1.25% plus LIBOR and is collateralized by certain trading securities. The agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, restricts lien or encumbrance upon any of the pledged collateral. At August 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Secured Bank Loan.
At August 31, 2022, our unsecured long-term debt has a weighted average maturity of approximately 10.0 years.
For further information, see Note 11, Long-Term Debt, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Access to external financing to finance our day to day operations, as well as the cost of that financing, is dependent upon various factors, including our debt ratings. Our current debt ratings are dependent upon many factors, including industry dynamics, operating and economic environment, operating results, operating margins, earnings trend and volatility, balance sheet composition, liquidity and liquidity management, our capital structure, our overall risk management, business diversification and our market share and competitive position in the markets in which we operate. Deterioration in any of these factors could impact our credit ratings. While certain aspects of a credit rating downgrade are quantifiable pursuant to contractual provisions, the impact on our business and trading results in future periods is inherently uncertain and depends on a number of factors, including the magnitude of the downgrade, the behavior of individual clients and future mitigating action taken by us.
In connection with certain over-the-counter derivative contract arrangements and certain other trading arrangements, we may be required to provide additional collateral to counterparties, exchanges and clearing organizations in the event of a credit rating downgrade. At August 31, 2022, the amount of additional collateral that could be called by counterparties, exchanges and clearing organizations under the terms of such agreements in the event of a downgrade of our long-term credit rating below investment grade was $21.4 million. For certain foreign clearing organizations, credit rating is only one of several factors employed in determining collateral that could be called. The above represents management’s best estimate for additional collateral to be called in the event of a credit rating downgrade. The impact of additional collateral requirements is considered in our Contingency Funding Plan and calculation of MLO, as described above.

JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Equity Capital
As compared to November 30, 2021, the $770.3 million increase to total Jefferies Group LLC member’s equity at August 31, 2022 is primarily attributed to the capital contribution from Jefferies in connection with Jefferies’ transfer to us of certain loans, certain investments in securities and limited partnerships and the investment in Foursight and Net earnings attributable to Jefferies Group LLC of $548.0 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2022. These increases were partially offset by net distributions to Jefferies.
During the nine months ended August 31, 2022, we paid distributions of $433.8 million to Jefferies, based on our results for the nine months ended May 31, 2022. At August 31, 2022, we have accrued a distribution payable of $33.3 million, based on our results for the three months ended August 31, 2022. For further information on the contribution from Jefferies, see “Consolidated Results of Operations—Transfer of Investments from Jefferies” herein.
Net Capital
As a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), Jefferies LLC 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 Rule 1.17 of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), 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 Rule 15c3-1 or CFTC Rule 1.17. FINRA is the designated examining authority for Jefferies LLC and the National Futures Association (“NFA”) is the designated self-regulatory organization for Jefferies LLC as an FCM.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) contains provisions that require the registration of all swap dealers, major swap participants, security-based swap dealers, and/or major security-based swap participants. Jefferies Financial Services, Inc. (“JFSI”), a registered swap dealer, is subject to the CFTC’s regulatory capital requirements and holds regulatory capital in excess of the minimum regulatory requirement. Additionally, JFSI is registered as a security-based swap dealer with the SEC and is subject to the SEC’s security-based swap dealer regulatory rules. Further, JFSI is registered with the SEC as an OTC derivatives dealer, and is subject to compliance with the SEC’s net capital requirements. As a security-based swap dealer and swap dealer, JFSI is subject to the net capital requirements of the SEC, CFTC and the NFA, as a member of the NFA. JFSI is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined under SEC Rule 18a-1 of not less than the greater of 2% of the risk margin amount, as defined, or $20 million.
At August 31, 2022, Jefferies LLC and JFSI’s net capital and excess net capital were as follows (in thousands):
Net CapitalExcess Net Capital
Jefferies LLC$1,170,166 $1,074,749 
JFSI321,168 301,168 
The net capital and excess net capital of Jefferies LLC at August 31, 2022 of $1.17 billion and $1.07 billion, respectively, reflects a decline in net capital and excess net capital of $709.9 million and $698.2 million, respectively, from net capital and excess net capital of $1.88 billion and $1.77 billion, respectively, at May 31, 2022. The decline in net capital and excess net capital is primarily attributed to an August 18, 2022 change in SEC regulatory requirements related to capital levels required for certain securities inventory of broker-dealers that became effective immediately upon issuance. While the capital levels have declined, management continues to believe that Jefferies LLC is adequately capitalized.
Certain other U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to capital adequacy requirements as prescribed by the regulatory authorities in their respective jurisdictions, including Jefferies International Limited which is subject to the regulatory supervision and requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K.
The regulatory capital requirements referred to above may restrict our ability to withdraw capital from our regulated subsidiaries.

Other Developments
In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Following Russia’s invasion, the U.S., the U.K., and the European Union governments, among others, developed coordinated financial and economic sanctions targeting Russia that, in various ways, constrain transactions with numerous Russian entities, including major Russian banks and individuals; transactions in Russian sovereign debt; and investment, trade and financing to, from, or in certain regions of Ukraine. We do not have any operations in Russia or any clients with significant Russian operations and we have minimal market risk related to securities of companies either domiciled or operating in Russia. We continue to monitor the status of trading and the credit risk of our counterparties and we believe that any loss we might incur will be immaterial.
On January 1, 2022, the publication of the one-week and two-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR maturities and all non-U.S. Dollar LIBOR maturities ceased and the remaining U.S. Dollar LIBOR maturities will cease immediately after June 30, 2023. We are a counterparty to a number of LIBOR-based contracts, with maturity dates subsequent to 2021, composed primarily of cleared derivative contracts and floating rate notes. We continue to make progress with our transition program to orderly transition from Interbank Offered Rates (“IBORs”) to alternative reference rates in accordance with industry timelines, which includes a policy that limits new agreements that reference U.S. Dollar LIBOR or non-U.S Dollar LIBOR, except as permitted under certain circumstances. Our transition plan is designed to enable operational readiness and robust risk management and we are taking steps to update operational processes, models and contracts for any changes that may be required as well as reduce our overall exposure to LIBOR. We are actively engaged with our counterparties to ensure that our contracts adhere to the International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) fallback protocol or are actively converted to alternative risk-free reference rates and are both educating and assisting our clients with the transition from and cessation of LIBOR.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have contractual commitments arising in the ordinary course of business for securities loaned or purchased under agreements to resell, repurchase agreements, future purchases and sales of foreign currencies, securities transactions on a when-issued basis and underwriting. Each of these financial instruments and activities contains varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby the fair values of the securities underlying the financial instruments may be in excess of, or less than, the contract amount. The settlement of these transactions is not expected to have a material effect upon our consolidated financial statements.
In the normal course of business, we engage in other off-balance sheet arrangements, including derivative contracts. Neither derivatives’ notional amounts nor underlying instrument values are reflected as assets or liabilities in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Rather, the fair values of derivative contracts are reported in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as Financial instruments owned or Financial instruments sold, not yet purchased as applicable. Derivative contracts are reflected net of cash paid or received pursuant to credit support agreements and are reported on a net by counterparty basis when a legal right of offset exists under an enforceable master netting agreement. For additional information about our accounting policies and our derivative activities, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, 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, 2021 and Note 3, Fair Value Disclosures, and Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We are routinely involved with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in the normal course of business. At August 31, 2022, we did not have any commitments to purchase assets from these VIEs. For additional information regarding our involvement with VIEs, see Note 6, Securitization Activities, and Note 7, Variable Interest Entities, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Due to the uncertainty regarding the timing and amounts that will ultimately be paid, our liability for unrecognized tax benefits has been excluded from the below contractual obligations table. See Note 14, Income Taxes, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information for further information.

Risk Management
Overview
Risk is an inherent part of our business and activities. The extent to which we properly and effectively identify, assess, monitor and manage each of the various types of risk involved in our activities is critical to our financial soundness, viability and profitability. Accordingly, we have a comprehensive risk management approach, with a formal governance structure and policies outlining frameworks and processes to identify, assess, monitor and manage risk. Principal risks involved in our business activities include market, credit, liquidity and capital, operational, legal and compliance, new business and reputational risk.
Risk management is a multifaceted process that requires communication, judgment and knowledge of financial products and markets. Our risk management process encompasses the active involvement of executive and senior management, and also many departments independent of the revenue-producing business units, including the Risk Management, Operations, Information Technology, Compliance, Legal and Finance Departments. Our risk management policies, procedures and methodologies are flexible in nature and are subject to ongoing review and modification.
In achieving our strategic business objectives, our risk appetite incorporates keeping our clients’ interests as top priority and ensuring we are in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as adhering to the highest ethical standards. We undertake prudent risk-taking that protects the capital base and franchise, utilizing risk limits and tolerances that avoid outsized risk-taking. We maintain a diversified business mix and avoid significant concentrations to any sector, product, geography, or activity and set quantitative concentration limits to manage this risk. We consider contagion, second order effects and correlation in our risk assessment process and actively seek out value opportunities of all sizes. We manage the risk of opportunities larger than our approved risk levels through risk sharing and risk distribution, sell-down and hedging as appropriate. We have a limited appetite for illiquid assets and complex derivative financial instruments. We maintain the asset quality of our balance sheet through conducting trading activity in liquid markets and generally ensure high turnover of our inventory. We subject less liquid positions and derivative financial instruments to particular scrutiny and use a wide variety of specific metrics, limits, and constraints to manage these risks. We protect our reputation and franchise, as well as our standing within the market. We operate a federated approach to risk management and assign risk oversight responsibilities to a number of functions with specific areas of focus.
For discussion of liquidity and capital risk management, refer to the “Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources” section herein.
Governance and Risk Management Structure
For a discussion of our governance and risk management structure and our risk management framework, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Risk Management” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2021.
Risk Considerations
We apply a comprehensive framework of limits on a variety of key metrics to constrain the risk profile of our business activities. The size of the limits reflects our risk appetite for a certain activity under normal business conditions. Key metrics included in our risk management framework include inventory position and exposure limits on a gross and net basis, scenario analysis and stress tests, Value-at-Risk (“VaR”), sensitivities, exposure concentrations, aged inventory, Level 3 assets, counterparty exposure, leverage and cash capital.
Market Risk
Market risk is defined as the risk of loss due to fluctuations in the market value of financial assets and liabilities attributable to changes in market variables.
Our market risk principally arises from interest rate risk, from exposure to changes in the yield curve, the volatility of interest rates, and credit spreads, and from equity price risks from exposure to changes in prices and volatilities of individual equities, equity baskets and equity indices. In addition, commodity price risk results from exposure to the changes in prices and volatilities of individual commodities, commodity baskets and commodity indices, and foreign exchange risk results from changes in foreign currency rates.
Market risk is present in our capital markets business through market making, proprietary trading, underwriting and investing activities and is present in our asset management business through investments in separately managed accounts and direct investments in funds. Given our involvement in a broad set of financial products and markets, market risk exposures are diversified, and economic hedges are established as appropriate.

87

Table of Contents
JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Market risk is monitored and managed through a set of key risk metrics such as VaR, stress scenarios, risk sensitivities and position exposures. Limits are set on the key risk metrics to monitor and control the risk exposure ensuring that it is in line with our risk appetite. Our risk appetite, including the market risk limits, is periodically reviewed to reflect business strategy and market environment. Material risk changes, top/emerging risks and limit utilizations/breaches are highlighted, through risk reporting, and escalated as necessary.
Trading is principally managed through front office trader mandates, where each trader is provided a specific mandate in line with our product registry. Mandates set out the activities, currencies, countries and products that the desk is permitted to trade in and set the limits applicable to the desk. Traders are responsible for knowing their trading limits and trading in a manner consistent with their mandate.
VaR
VaR is a statistical estimate of the potential loss from adverse market movements over a specified time horizon within a specified probability (confidence level). It provides a common risk measure across financial instruments, markets and asset classes. We estimate VaR using a model that simulates revenue and loss distributions by applying historical market changes to the current portfolio. We calculate a one-day VaR using a one year look-back period measured at a 95% confidence level.
As with all measures of VaR, our estimate has inherent limitations due to the assumption that historical changes in market conditions are representative of the future. Furthermore, the VaR model measures the risk of a current static position over a one-day horizon and might not capture the market risk over a longer time horizon where moves may be more extreme. Previous changes in market risk factors may not generate accurate predictions of future market movements. While we believe the assumptions and inputs in our risk model are reasonable, we could incur losses greater than the reported VaR. Consequently, this VaR estimate is only one of a number of tools we use in our daily risk management activities.
The table below shows firmwide VaR for each component of market risk by interest rate and credit spreads, equity, currency and commodity products using the past 365 days of historical data (in millions):

Our average daily firmwide VaR decreased to $9.60 million for the three months ended August 31, 2022 from $11.84 million for the three months ended May 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced risk exposure and defensive positioning across all businesses.
The efficacy of the VaR model is tested by comparing our actual daily net revenues for those positions included in VaR calculation with the daily VaR estimate. This evaluation is performed at various levels, from the overall level down to specific business lines. For the VaR model, revenue is defined as principal transactions revenues, trading related commissions, revenue from securitization activities and net interest income. VaR backtesting methodologies differ for regulated entities with approved capital models.
For a 95% confidence one day VaR model (i.e., no intra-day trading), assuming current changes in market value are consistent with the historical changes used in the calculation, losses would not be expected to exceed the VaR estimates more than twelve times on an annual basis (i.e., once in every 20 days). During the three months ended August 31, 2022, there was one day when the aggregate net trading loss exceeded the 95% one day VaR.

The chart below shows our daily firmwide VaR and capital markets VaR over the last four quarters. The uptick in VaR towards the end of November 2021 until early January 2022 was driven by increased equity exposure. The drop in VaR from January to end of February 2022 was driven by exposure reductions in response to market volatility driven by inflation, rate hike expectations and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The VaR increase in early March 2022 was driven by higher equity exposure, which was subsequently reduced. VaR trended lower from June 2022 to the middle of 2022, driven by defensive positioning. The temporary increase in VaR during July 2022 was driven by a block trade which was subsequently reduced.

Other Risk Measures
Sensitivity analysis is viewed as the most appropriate measure of risks for certain positions within financial instruments and therefore such positions are not included in the VaR model. Accordingly, Risk Management has additional procedures in place to assure that the level of potential loss that would arise from market movements are within acceptable levels. Such procedures include performing stress tests and profit and loss analysis. The table below presents the potential reduction in net income associated with a 10% stress of the fair value of the positions that are not included in the VaR model at August 31, 2022 (in thousands):
10% Sensitivity
Investment in funds (1)$129,952 
Private investments21,955 
Corporate debt securities in default7,579 
Trade claims1,803 
(1)Includes investments in hedge funds, fund of funds and private equity funds. For additional details on these investments refer to “Investments at Fair Value” within Note 3, Fair Value Disclosures, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The impact of changes in our own credit spreads on our structured notes for which the fair value option was elected is not included in VaR. The estimated credit spread risk sensitivity for each one basis point widening in our own credit spreads on financial liabilities for which the fair value option was elected was an increase in value of approximately $1.4 million at August 31, 2022, which is included in other comprehensive income.
Stress Tests and Scenario Analysis
Stress tests are used to analyze the potential impact of specific events or extreme market moves on the current portfolio both firmwide and within business segments. Stress testing is an important part of our risk management approach because it allows us to quantify our exposure to tail risks, highlight potential loss concentrations, undertake risk/reward analysis, set risk controls and overall assess and mitigate our risk.
We employ a range of stress scenarios, which comprise both historical market price and rate changes and hypothetical market environments, and generally involve simultaneous changes of many risk factors. Indicative market changes in the scenarios include, but are not limited to, a large widening of credit spreads, a substantial decline in equities markets, significant moves in selected emerging markets, large moves in interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve.
Unlike our VaR, which measures potential losses within a given confidence interval, stress scenarios do not have an associated implied probability. Rather, stress testing is used to estimate the potential loss from market moves that tend to be larger than those embedded in the VaR calculation. Stress testing complements VaR to cover for potential limitations of VaR such as the breakdown in correlations, non-linear risks, tail risk and extreme events and capturing market moves beyond the confidence levels assumed in the VaR calculations.
Stress testing is performed and reported at least weekly as part of our risk management process and on an ad hoc basis in response to market events or concerns. Current stress tests provide estimated revenue and loss of the current portfolio through a range of both historical and hypothetical events. The stress scenarios are reviewed and assessed at least annually so that they remain relevant and up to date with market developments. Additional hypothetical scenarios are also conducted on a sub-portfolio basis to assess the impact of any relevant idiosyncratic stress events as needed.
Counterparty Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in a counterparty’s credit worthiness or its ability or willingness to meet its financial obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of a financial contract.

JEFFERIES GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
We are exposed to credit risk as a trading counterparty to other broker-dealers and customers, as a counterparty to derivative contracts, as a direct lender and through extending loan commitments and providing securities-based lending and as a member of exchanges and clearing organizations. Credit exposure exists across a wide-range of products, including cash and cash equivalents, loans, securities finance transactions and over-the-counter derivative contracts. The main sources of credit risk are:
Loans and lending arising in connection with our investment banking and capital markets activities, which reflects our exposure at risk on a default event with no recovery of loans. Current exposure represents loans that have been drawn by the borrower and lending commitments that are outstanding. In addition, credit exposures on forward settling traded loans are included within our loans and lending exposures for consistency with the balance sheet categorization of these items. Loans and lending also arise in connection with our portion of a Secured Revolving Credit Facility that is with us and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, to be funded equally, to support loan underwritings by Jefferies Finance. For further information on this facility, refer to Note 8, Investments, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, we have loans outstanding to certain of our officers and employees (none of whom are executive officers or directors). For further information on these employee loans, refer to Note 18, Related Party Transactions, in our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Securities and margin financing transactions, which reflect our credit exposure arising from reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements to the extent the fair value of the underlying collateral differs from the contractual agreement amount and from margin provided to customers.
OTC derivatives, which are reported net by counterparty when a legal right of setoff exists under an enforceable master netting agreement. OTC derivative exposure is based on a contract at fair value, net of cash collateral received or posted under credit support agreements. In addition, credit exposures on forward settling trades are included within our derivative credit exposures.
Cash and cash equivalents, which includes both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposits at banks.
Credit is extended to counterparties in a controlled manner and in order to generate acceptable returns, whether such credit is granted directly or is incidental to a transaction. All extensions of credit are monitored and managed as a whole to limit exposure to loss related to credit risk. Credit risk is managed according to the Credit Risk Management Policy, which sets out the process for identifying counterparty credit risk, establishing counterparty limits, and managing and monitoring credit limits. The policy includes our approach for:
Client on-boarding and approving counterparty credit limits;
Negotiating, approving and monitoring credit terms in legal and master documentation;
Determining the analytical standards and risk parameters for ongoing management and monitoring credit risk books;
Actively managing daily exposure, exceptions and breaches; and
Monitoring daily margin call activity and counterparty performance.
Counterparty credit exposure limits are granted within our credit ratings framework, as detailed in the Credit Risk Management Policy. The Credit Risk Department assesses counterparty credit risk and sets credit limits at the counterparty master agreement level. Limits must be approved by appropriate credit officers and initiated in our credit and trading systems before trading commences. All credit exposures are reviewed against approved limits on a daily basis.
Our Secured Revolving Credit Facility, which supports loan underwritings by Jefferies Finance, is governed under separate policies other than the Credit Risk Management Policy and is approved by our Board. The loans outstanding to certain of our officers and employees are extended pursuant to a review by our most senior management.
Current counterparty credit exposures at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021 are summarized in the tables below and provided by credit quality, region and industry (in millions). Credit exposures presented take netting and collateral into consideration by counterparty and master agreement. Collateral taken into consideration includes both collateral received as cash as well as collateral received in the form of securities or other arrangements. Current exposure is the loss that would be incurred on a particular set of positions in the event of default by the counterparty, assuming no recovery. Current exposure equals the fair value of the positions less collateral. Issuer risk is the credit risk arising from inventory positions (for example, corporate debt securities and secondary bank loans). Issuer risk is included in our country risk exposure tables below.

Country Risk Exposure
Country risk is the risk that events or developments that occur in the general environment of a country or countries due to economic, political, social, regulatory, legal or other factors, will affect the ability of obligors of the country to honor their obligations. We define the country of risk as the country of jurisdiction or domicile of the obligor, and monitor country risk resulting from both trading positions and counterparty exposure, which may not include the offsetting benefit of any financial instruments utilized to manage market risk. The following tables reflect our top exposure at August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021 to the sovereign governments, corporations and financial institutions in those non-U.S. countries in which we have a net long issuer and counterparty exposure (in millions):

Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of financial or non-financial impact, resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. We interpret this definition as including not only financial loss or gain but also other negative impacts to our objectives such as reputational impact, legal/regulatory impact and impact on our clients. Third-party risk is also included as a subset of Operational Risk and is defined as the potential threat presented to us, or our employees or clients, from our supply chain and other third-parties used to perform a process, service or activity on our behalf.
Our Operational Risk framework includes governance as well as operational risk processes, which is comprised of operational risk event capture and analysis, risk and control self-assessments, operational risk key indicators, action tracking, risk monitoring and reporting, deep dive risk assessments, new business approvals and vendor risk management. Each revenue producing and support department is responsible for the management and reporting of operational risks and the implementation of the Operational Risk Management Policy and processes within the department with regular operational risk training provided to our employees.

Vendor Risk
Operational Risk Management Policy, framework, infrastructure, methodology, processes, guidance and oversight of the operational risk processes are centralized and consistent firmwide and additionally subject to regional and legal entity operational risk governance as required. We also maintain a firmwide Third-Party (“Vendor”) Risk Management Policy & Framework to ensure adequate control and monitoring over our critical third parties which includes processes for conducting periodic reviews covering areas of risk including financial health, information security, privacy, business continuity management, disaster recovery and operational risk.
Our leadership continuously monitors circumstances around COVID-19 and provides as-needed communications to both our clients and our employees to keep them fully abreast of our policies and protocols. We follow local and federal guidelines to ensure the safety of our people and clients and operate effectively with a hybrid working environment across all functions with no disruptions to our business or control processes. As the incidence of COVID-19 decreases, our employees have returned to our offices in numbers matching pre-COVID-19 attendance levels.
Model Risk
Model risk refers to the risk of losses resulting from decisions that are based on the output of models, due to errors or weaknesses in the design and development, implementation, or improper use of models. We use quantitative models primarily to value certain financial assets and liabilities and to monitor and manage our risk. Model risk is a function of the model materiality, frequency of use, complexity and uncertainty around inputs and assumptions used in a given model. Robust model risk management is a core part of our risk management approach and is overseen through our risk governance structure and risk management controls.
Legal and Compliance Risk
Legal and compliance risk includes the risk of noncompliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We are subject to extensive regulation in the different jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. We have various procedures addressing issues such as regulatory capital requirements, sales and trading practices, use of and safekeeping of customer funds, credit granting, collection activities, anti-money laundering and record keeping. These risks also reflect the potential impact that changes in local and international laws and tax statutes have on the economics and viability of current or future transactions. In an effort to mitigate these risks, we continuously review new and pending regulations and legislation and participate in various industry interest groups. We also maintain an anonymous hotline for employees or others to report suspected inappropriate actions by us or by our employees or agents.
New Business Risk
New business risk refers to the risks of entering into a new line of business or offering a new product. By entering a new line of business or offering a new product, we may face risks that we are unaccustomed to dealing with and may increase the magnitude of the risks we currently face. The New Business Committee reviews proposals for new businesses and new products to determine if we are prepared to handle the additional or increased risks associated with entering into such activities.

Reputational Risk
We recognize that maintaining our reputation among clients, investors, regulators and the general public is an important aspect of minimizing legal and operational risks. Maintaining our reputation depends on a large number of factors, including the selection of our clients and the conduct of our business activities. We seek to maintain our reputation by screening potential clients and by conducting our business activities in accordance with high ethical standards. Our reputation and business activity can be affected by statements and actions of third-parties, even false or misleading statements by them. We actively monitor public comment concerning us and are vigilant in seeking to assure accurate information and perception prevails.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are set forth under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations —Risk Management” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our Management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Many aspects of our business involve substantial risks of legal and regulatory liability. In the normal course of business, we have been named as defendants or co-defendants in lawsuits involving primarily claims for damages. We are also involved in a number of judicial and regulatory matters, including exams, investigations and similar reviews, arising out of the conduct of our business. Based on currently available information, we do not believe that any matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Information regarding our risk factors appears in Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. These risk factors describe some of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could adversely affect our business or that could otherwise result in changes that differ materially from our expectations. The following risk factor is an update to our previously disclosed risk factor and should be considered in conjunction with the Risk Factors section in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year, filed with the SEC on January 28, 2022.
We may incur losses as a result of unforeseen or catastrophic events, including the emergence of a pandemic, cybersecurity incidents and events, terrorist attacks, war, trade policies, military conflict, climate-related incidents, or other natural disasters.
The occurrence of unforeseen or catastrophic events, including the emergence of a pandemic, such as COVID-19, or other widespread health emergency (or concerns over the possibility of such an emergency), cybersecurity incidents and events, terrorist attacks, war, trade policies, military conflict, extreme climate-related incidents or events or other natural disasters, could create economic and financial disruptions, and could lead to operational difficulties (including travel limitations) that could impair our ability to manage our businesses. For instance, military conflict and escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine could result in geopolitical instability and adversely affect the global economy or specific markets, which could have an adverse impact or cause volatility in the financial services industry generally or on our results of operations and financial conditions.
