20 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

Jefferies Financial Group Inc. booked $5.5B of revenue in FY2025 in the Other sector and kept 96.6% of it as gross profit — a high-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 12.3% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $1.2B (FY2007) to $5.5B (FY2025) — about 9.1% a year compounded over 18 years.

It earned −3.3% on invested capital in FY2009, with a median of −3.3% across 3 filed years.

The balance sheet carried $17.7B of total debt in FY2025 against $682.0M of owner earnings — roughly 25.9 years of owner earnings to retire it all.

The share count fell 11.7% between FY2008 and FY2023 — management has been retiring shares, which concentrates each remaining owner's claim. Capital Discipline scores it 100/100.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.
