Total net revenues for the period amounted to $39.7 million, whereas operating expenses amounted $33.5 million. Operating income for the first quarter of 2020 was $6.2 million. The net loss attributable to Global Brokerage Inc was $6.9 million, or $0.83 per share.

Let’s note that, according to the latest 10-Q report by Jefferies Financial Group Inc (NYSE:JEF), formerly known as Leucadia National Corporation, that is the report for the quarter to end-February 2020, net revenues from Jefferies’ FXCM term loan include gains of $2.5 million and $0.5 million during the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
