Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
Note 1. Introduction and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements (the “Parent
Company 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, 2024. 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 (“equity method subsidiaries”).
The Parent Company 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 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, 2024.
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 Parent 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 Parent Company records all
derivative contracts and Financial instruments owned and
Financial instruments sold, not yet purchased at fair value in its
Certain of the Parent Company’s equity method subsidiaries are
members of various exchanges and clearing houses. In the
normal course of business, the Parent 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
Parent 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 Parent Company to be required to make
payments under such guarantees is deemed remote. Accordingly,
no liability has been recognized for these arrangements.
The Parent Company guarantees certain financing arrangements
of subsidiaries. The maximum amount payable under these
guarantees is$1.10 billion at November 30, 2024. For further
information, refer to Note 18, Borrowings in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2024.
