"We are proud of our 3,851 employee-partners who successfully navigated an extremely challenging fourth quarter that included continuing global volatility compounded by a November filled with a barrage of misinformation about Jefferies. Our firm responded by reducing our total balance sheet by nearly one quarter, decreasing our leverage to 9.9x from 12.9x, maintaining the already high quality of our inventory, and delivering solid profitability," commented Richard B. Handler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jefferies.
"Jefferies is better positioned than ever to serve the needs of our clients across the globe. Competitive and legislative forces continue to evolve in ways that favor our client-focused model. We believe we can continue to add significant value and gain further market share serving our clients´ needs for advice, capital, liquidity and execution in the capital markets and strategic transactions," said Brian P. Friedman, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Jefferies.
