Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE: JEF) Richard Handler, CEO, and Brian Friedman, President recently released a statement regarding the firm’s Q3 Financial highlights.

“Our third quarter net revenues of $1.18 billion reflect an improving market environment. We are increasingly optimistic that we have come off the bottom of the cycle and that momentum in investment banking will continue.

“Investment Banking generated $645 million of net revenues, an increase of 28% from last quarter due to modestly improved mergers and acquisitions activity and a more receptive leveraged finance and new issue market, as the green shoots we mentioned last quarter have multiplied.”

“Our strategy during down cycles has always been to play offense by investing in our future. This is the main theme for us in 2023, made possible by our strong capital base and solid global brand and platform. The dislocation and changes in strategy among some of our competitors created distinct opportunity this year. As we will discuss during our upcoming Investor Day on October 16, 2023, we are adding outstanding new Managing Directors to our Investment Banking effort across the globe. We started 2023 with 299 Managing Directors in Investment Banking and expect to begin 2024 with over 360 total Managing Directors, an increase of 20%. The 360 Managing Directors would be up 70% from the 212 Investment Banking Managing Directors that wore the Jefferies’ jersey at the beginning of 2020.”
