| FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS - FOOTNOTES | |||
| (1) | Amounts pertaining to November 30, 2016 represent a preliminary estimate as of the date of this earnings release and may be revised in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2016. | ||
| (2) | At November 30, 2016, other sources of liquidity include high quality sovereign government securities and reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities and other high quality sovereign government securities of $1,455 million, in aggregate, and $319 million, being the total of the estimated amount of additional secured financing that could be reasonably expected to be obtained from our financial instruments that are currently not pledged at reasonable financing haircuts. The corresponding amounts included in other sources of liquidity at August 31, 2016 were $1,384 million and $330 million, respectively, and at November 30, 2015, were $1,266 million and $164 million, respectively. The amounts included in other sources of liquidity at August 31, 2016 and November 30, 2015 have been reduced by $147 million and $141 million, respectively, from what was previously disclosed, to reflect adjustments for certain securities that have subsequently been identified to have been encumbered at such dates. | ||
| (3) | Tangible member's equity (a non-GAAP financial measure) represents total member's equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. We believe that tangible member's equity is meaningful for valuation purposes, as financial companies are often measured as a multiple of tangible member's equity, making these ratios meaningful for investors. | ||
| (4) | Level 3 financial instruments represent those financial instruments classified as such under Accounting Standards Codification 820, accounted for at fair value and included within Financial instruments owned. | ||
| (5) | At November 30, 2016, August 31, 2016 and November 30, 2015, total long-term capital includes our long-term debt of $5,131 million, $5,476 million and $5,288 million, respectively, and total equity. Long-term debt included in total long-term capital is reduced by the amount of debt maturing in less than one year, where applicable. | ||
| (6) | Leverage ratio equals total assets divided by total equity. | ||
| (7) | Adjusted leverage ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) equals adjusted assets divided by tangible total equity, being total equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Adjusted assets (a non-GAAP financial measure) equals total assets less securities borrowed, securities purchased under agreements to resell, cash and securities segregated, goodwill and identifiable intangibles plus financial instruments sold, not yet purchased (net of derivative liabilities). At November 30, 2016, August 31, 2016 and November 30, 2015, adjusted assets were $30,352 million, $30,318 million and $31,675 million, respectively. We believe that adjusted assets is a meaningful measure as it excludes certain assets that are considered of lower risk as they are generally self-financed by customer liabilities through our securities lending activities. | ||
| (8) | Tangible gross leverage ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) equals total assets less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets divided by tangible member's equity. The tangible gross leverage ratio is used by rating agencies in assessing our leverage ratio. | ||
| (9) | VaR estimates the potential loss in value of our trading positions due to adverse market movements over a one-day time horizon with a 95% confidence level. For a further discussion of the calculation of VaR, see "Value-at-Risk" in Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2015. | ||
