Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
Note 1. Introduction and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements (the “Parent
Company Only Financial Statements”), including the notes
thereto, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (the
“Company”) and the notes thereto found in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30,
- For purposes of these condensed financial statements, the
Company’s wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
The Parent Company Only Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information. The significant
accounting policies of the Parent Company Only Financial
Statements are those used by the Company on a consolidated
basis, to the extent applicable. For further information regarding
the significant accounting policies refer to Note 2, Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended November 30, 2025.
The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these
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 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.
Note 2. Transactions with Subsidiaries
The Parent Company has transactions with its consolidated
subsidiaries and certain other affiliated entities determined on an
agreed upon basis and has guaranteed certain unsecured lines of
credit and contractual obligations of certain equity method
Note 3. Guarantees
In the normal course of its business, the Company issues
guarantees in respect of obligations of certain of its wholly-
owned subsidiaries under trading and other financial
arrangements, including guarantees to various trading
counterparties and banks. The Company records all derivative
contracts and Financial instruments owned and Financial
instruments sold, not yet purchased at fair value in its
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are members of various
exchanges and clearing houses. In the normal course of
business, the Company provides guarantees to securities
clearinghouses 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 clearinghouse, other members would be
required to meet these shortfalls. To mitigate these performance
risks, the exchanges and clearinghouses often require members
to post collateral. The Company’s obligations under such
guarantees could exceed the collateral amounts posted. The
maximum potential liability under these arrangements cannot be
quantified; however, the potential for the Company to be required
to make payments under such guarantees is deemed remote.
Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these
arrangements.
The Company guarantees certain financing arrangements of
subsidiaries. The maximum amount payable under these
guarantees is$2.65 billion at November 30, 2025. For further
information, refer to Note 17, Borrowings in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2025.
