NEW YORK, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (NYSE: LEH) announced today a net loss of $2.8 billion, or ($5.14) per common share (diluted), for the second quarter ended May 31, 2008, compared to net income of $489 million, or $0.81 per common share (diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and $1.3 billion, or $2.21 per common share (diluted), for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. For the first half of fiscal 2008, the Firm reported a net loss of approximately $2.3 billion, or ($4.33) per common share (diluted), compared to net income of $2.4 billion, or $4.17 per common share (diluted), for the first half of fiscal 2007.

The Firm reported net revenues (total revenues less interest expense) for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 of negative ($0.7) billion, compared to $3.5 billion for the first quarter of 2008 and $5.5 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 reflect negative mark to market adjustments and principal trading losses, net of gains on certain debt liabilities. Additionally, the Firm incurred losses on hedges this quarter, as gains from some hedging activity were more than offset by other hedging losses. For the first six months of fiscal 2008, the Firm reported net revenues of $2.8 billion, compared to $10.6 billion for the first half of fiscal 2007.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Firm further strengthened its liquidity and capital position (all below amounts as of May 31, 2008):


    -- Grew the Holding Company liquidity pool to $45 billion from $34 billion
       at the end of the prior quarter
    -- The Firm reported gross assets and net assets of approximately $639
       billion and $327 billion, respectively, which decreased approximately
       $147 billion and $70 billion, respectively, from the first quarter of
       fiscal 2008
    -- Reduced gross leverage to 24.3x from 31.7x at the end of the first
       quarter, and reduced net leverage to 12.0x from 15.4x
    -- Reduced exposure to residential mortgages, commercial mortgages and
       real estate investments by approximately 20% in each asset class
    -- Reduced acquisition finance exposures by approximately 35%
    -- Reduced aggregate non-investment grade inventory (including funded
       acquisition finance assets) by approximately 20%
    -- Completed the budgeted full year fiscal 2008 unsecured funding plan
    -- Increased the Firm's long-term capital through the issuance of $4.0
       billion of convertible preferred stock in April and approximately $5.5
       billion of public benchmark long-term debt

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Richard S. Fuld, Jr. said, "Since we announced our expected second quarter earnings last week, we have begun to take the necessary steps to restore the credibility of our great franchise and ensure that this quarter's unacceptable performance is not repeated. We have raised an additional $6 billion of capital. I have asked Bart McDade, our best operator, to serve as the Firm's president and chief operating officer. I have also asked Ian Lowitt, our co-chief administrative officer, to be our chief financial officer. With these actions and our continued commitment to our client-driven franchise, we are positioned to take advantage of opportunities that lie ahead, and we are focused on maximizing shareholder value."

Business Segments

Capital Markets reported net revenues of negative ($2.4) billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $1.7 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and $3.6 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Fixed Income Capital Markets reported net revenues of negative ($3.0) billion, compared to $0.3 billion in the first quarter of 2008 and $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2007. Excluding mark to market adjustments, related hedges and structured note liability gains, client activity in securitized products, municipals and commodities remained strong, while credit, interest rate and financing were down from last quarter but each up versus the year ago period. Equities Capital Markets reported net revenues of $0.6 billion, a decrease from $1.4 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and $1.7 billion in the second quarter of 2007, as record revenues in prime brokerage and solid execution services activity were offset, in part, by lower volatility revenues as well as losses of approximately $0.3 billion on principal investments.

Investment Banking reported net revenues of $0.9 billion, consistent with $0.9 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and a decrease from $1.2 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Debt underwriting revenues were $0.3 billion, consistent with $0.3 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and a decrease from $0.5 billion in the second quarter of 2007, as strong high grade debt underwriting revenues were offset by continued weakness in high yield new issuance. Equity underwriting revenues were $0.3 billion, an increase from $0.2 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and consistent with $0.3 billion in the second quarter of 2007. Merger and acquisition advisory revenues were $0.2 billion, a decrease from $0.3 billion in both the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and the second quarter of 2007.

Investment Management reported net revenues of $0.8 billion, a decrease from record revenues of $1.0 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and consistent with $0.8 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

The Firm reported assets under management of $277 billion, consistent with the prior quarter. Private Investment Management reported revenues of $0.4 billion, consistent with $0.4 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and an increase from $0.3 billion in the second quarter of 2007, with strength across both fixed income and equity products.

    LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC.
    FOOTNOTES TO SELECTED STATISTICAL INFORMATION
    (Preliminary and Unaudited)

    NM = Not Meaningful

    (a)  Return on average common stockholders' equity is computed by dividing
         annualized net income applicable to common stock for the period by
         average common stockholders' equity. See the reconciliation on
         page 12.
    (b)  Return on average tangible common stockholders' equity is computed by
         dividing annualized net income applicable to common stock for the
         period by average tangible common stockholders' equity. Average
         tangible common stockholders' equity equals average common
         stockholders' equity less average identifiable intangible assets and
         goodwill. See the reconciliation on page 12. Management believes
         tangible common stockholders' equity is a meaningful measure because
         it reflects the common stockholders' equity deployed in our
         businesses.
    (c)  We calculate net assets by excluding from total assets: (i) cash and
         securities segregated and on deposit for regulatory and other
         purposes; (ii) collateralized lending agreements; and (iii)
         identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. See reconciliation on
         page 15. Net assets as presented are not necessarily comparable to
         similarly-titled measures provided by other companies in the
         securities industry because of different methods of presentation.
    (d)  Effective December 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards
         Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
         Income Taxes -- an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. The
         aggregate impact to opening retained earnings from the adoption of
         this standard was a decrease of approximately $178 million. Effective
         December 1, 2006, we adopted both Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, Fair Value Measurements and SFAS No.
         159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
         Liabilities. The aggregate impact to opening retained earnings from
         the adoption of these standards was an after-tax increase of
         approximately $67 million (approximately $113 million pre-tax).
    (e)  We calculate tangible equity capital by including stockholders'
         equity and junior subordinated notes and excluding identifiable
         intangible assets and goodwill. These measures may not be comparable
         to similarly-titled calculations by other companies as a result of
         different calculation methodologies. We believe tangible equity
         capital to be a more meaningful measure of our equity base as it
         includes stockholders' equity and junior subordinated notes (which we
         consider to be equity-like instruments due to their subordinated and
         long-term nature) and excludes identifiable intangible assets and
         goodwill (which are fully supported by equity). Prior to fiscal year
         2008, our definition for tangible equity capital limited the amount
         of junior subordinated notes and preferred stock included in the
         calculation to 25% of tangible equity capital. The amounts excluded
         were approximately $237 million, $375 million and $117 million in the
         fourth, third and second quarters of 2007, respectively. See the
         reconciliation on page 15.
    (f)  Total long-term capital includes long-term borrowings (excluding any
         borrowings with remaining maturities within one year of the financial
         statement date) and total stockholders' equity. We believe total
         long-term capital is useful to investors as a measure of our
         financial strength.
    (g)  The book value per common share calculation includes amortized
         restricted stock units granted under employee stock award programs,
         which have been included in total stockholders' equity.
    (h)  Leverage ratio is defined as total assets divided by total
         stockholders' equity.
    (i)  Net leverage ratio is defined as net assets (see note (c) above)
         divided by tangible equity capital (see note (e) above). We believe
         net leverage based on net assets to be a more useful measure of
         leverage, because it excludes certain low-risk, non-inventory assets
         and utilizes tangible equity capital as a measure of our equity base.
         Net leverage as presented is not necessarily comparable to
         similarly-titled measures provided by other companies in the
         securities industry because of different methods of presentation.

    (a)  VaR is an approximation of earnings and loss distributions a
         portfolio would realize if current market risks were as observed in
         historical markets. VaR for our financial instrument inventory
         positions, estimated at a 95% confidence level over a one-day time
         horizon.  This means that there is a 1-in-20 chance that daily
         trading net revenue losses on a particular day would exceed the
         reported VaR.

         of FASB Statement No. 125. The securitization vehicles issued
         securities that were distributed to investors. The Company does not
         consider itself to have economic exposure to the underlying assets in
         those securitization vehicles beyond the Company's retained interests

    (1)  For purposes of this presentation, the Company has categorized U.S.
         residential mortgages frequently referred to as Alt-A within Prime.
         The Company generally defines U.S. Alt-A residential mortgage loans
         as those associated with borrowers who may have creditworthiness of
         "prime" quality but may have traits that prevent the loans from
         qualifying as "prime." Those traits could include documentation
         deficiencies related to the borrowers' income disclosure, referred to
         as partial or no documentation; or the underlying property may not be
         owner occupied despite full or lower documentation of the borrowers'
         income levels.
    (2)  The Company generally defines U.S. subprime residential mortgage
         loans as those associated with borrowers having a credit score in the
         range of 620 or lower using the Fair Isaac Corporation's statistical
         model, or having other negative factors within their credit profiles.
         We also include residential mortgage loans that were originated
         through BNC Mortgage LLC ("BNC") prior to its closure in the third
         quarter of the Company's 2007 fiscal year. BNC served borrowers with
         subprime qualifying credit profiles but also served borrowers with
         stronger credit history as a result of broker relationships or
         product offerings and such loans are also included in our subprime
         business activity.

    (1)  These positions are reflected within Real estate held for sale and
         are accounted for at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value
         less cost to sell. The Company makes equity and debt investments in
         entities whose underlying assets are real estate held for sale. The
         Company consolidates those entities in which we are the primary
         beneficiary in accordance with FIN No. 46-R, Consolidation of
         Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003)-an interpretation
         of ARB No. 51. The Company does not consider itself to have economic
         exposure to the total underlying assets in those entities. The
         amounts presented are the Company's net investment and therefore
         exclude the amounts that have been consolidated but for which the
         Company does not consider itself to have economic exposure.
