NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions)

NOTE 1 – INTRODUCTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Jones Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Partnership” or "JFC"). The financial position of the Partnership’s subsidiaries in Canada as of February 28, 2022 and November 30, 2021 are included in the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and the results for the three-month periods ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 are included in the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Partnership Capital Subject to Mandatory Redemption, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows because of the timing of the Partnership’s financial reporting process.

The Partnership’s principal operating subsidiary, Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward Jones”), is a registered broker-dealer and investment adviser in the United States (“U.S.”), and one of Edward Jones’ subsidiaries, Edward Jones (an Ontario limited partnership) ("EJ Canada"), is a registered broker-dealer in Canada. Through these entities, the Partnership primarily serves individual investors in the U.S. and Canada. Edward Jones is a retail brokerage business and primarily derives revenues from fees for providing investment advisory and other account services to its clients, fees for assets held by clients, the distribution of mutual fund shares, and commissions for the purchase or sale of securities and the purchase of insurance products. The Partnership conducts business throughout the U.S. and Canada with its clients, various brokers, dealers, clearing organizations, depositories and banks. For financial information related to the Partnership’s 2 operating segments for the three-month periods ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Trust services are offered to Edward Jones’ U.S. clients through Edward Jones Trust Company (“Trust Co.”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership. Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, provides investment advisory services to the eight sub-advised mutual funds comprising the Bridge Builder® Trust. Passport Research, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edward Jones, provides investment advisory services to the sub-advised Edward Jones Money Market Fund (the "Money Market Fund").

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the use of certain estimates by management in determining the Partnership’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain prior period balances have been adjusted to align to current year presentation.

The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of interim operations. The Partnership evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through May 6, 2022, which was the date these Consolidated Financial Statements were available to be issued, and identified no matters requiring disclosure.

There have been no material changes to the Partnership’s significant accounting policies or disclosures of recently issued accounting standards as described in Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 of the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Annual Report"). The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 25, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report.

NOTE 2 – LEASES

For the three-month periods ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $80 and $78, respectively, and lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities were $75 for both three-month periods. The weighted-average remaining lease term was four years as of both March 25, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the weighted-average discount rate was 2.0% and 2.1%, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Partnership's operating lease cost, variable lease cost not included in the lease liability and total lease cost for the:

	Three Months Ended
	March 25, 2022		March 26, 2021
Lease Costs:
Operating lease cost	$	82	$	78
Variable lease cost		15		14
Total lease cost	$	97	$	92

The Partnership's future undiscounted cash outflows for operating leases are summarized below as of:

	March 25, 2022
2022	$	233
2023		263
2024		200
2025		138
2026		81
Thereafter		72
Total lease payments		987
Less: Interest		35
Total present value of lease liabilities	$	952

While the rights and obligations for leases that have not yet commenced are not significant, the Partnership regularly enters into new branch office leases.

NOTE 3 – RECEIVABLES AND REVENUE

As of March 25, 2022 and December 31, 2021, collateral held for receivables from clients was $4,891 and $4,803, respectively, and collateral held for securities purchased under agreements to resell was $1,100 and $1,526, respectively. Given the nature of the agreements, the Partnership does not expect the fair value of collateral to fall below the value of the agreements frequently or for an extended period of time. Therefore, the expected credit loss was 0 for each period. Additionally, partnership loan values remained below the value of capital allocated to partners, resulting in an expected credit loss of 0 as of March 25, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

As of March 25, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $683, $695 and $563, respectively, of the receivable from clients balance and $313, $335 and $285, respectively, of the receivable from mutual funds, insurance companies and other balance related to revenue contracts with customers. The related fees are paid out of client accounts or third-party products consisting of cash and securities, and the collateral value of those accounts continues to exceed the amortized cost basis of these receivables, resulting in a remote risk of loss. The expected credit loss for receivables from contracts with customers was 0 as of March 25, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Partnership derived 13% of its total revenue for both three-month periods ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, from one mutual fund company. The revenue generated from this company relates to business conducted with the Partnership's U.S. segment.

The following table shows the Partnership's disaggregated revenue information. See Note 8 for segment information.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE

The Partnership's valuation methodologies for financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value hierarchy are described in Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 of the Partnership's Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the Partnership's valuation methodologies since December 31, 2021.

The Partnership records fractional shares at fair value in other assets with associated liabilities in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The liabilities are initially recorded at the dollar amount received from the clients, but the Partnership makes an election to record the liabilities at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the assets and liabilities offset in other revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income, with no impact on income before allocations to partners.

The Partnership did 0t have any assets or liabilities categorized as Level III during the three- and twelve-month periods ended March 25, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

NOTE 5 – PARTNERSHIP CAPITAL SUBJECT TO MANDATORY REDEMPTION

The Partnership makes loans available to those general partners and, in limited circumstances, subordinated limited partners (in each case, other than members of the Enterprise Leadership Team ("ELT"), as defined in the Partnership’s Twenty-First Amended and Restated Agreement of Registered Limited Liability Limited Partnership, dated September 1, 2021 (the “Partnership Agreement”)), who require financing for some or all of their Partnership capital contributions. In limited circumstances a general partner may withdraw from the Partnership and become a subordinated limited partner while he or she still has an outstanding Partnership loan. It is anticipated that, of the future general and subordinated limited partnership capital contributions (in each case, other than for ELT members) requiring financing, the majority will be financed through Partnership loans. Loans made by the Partnership to such partners are generally for a period of one year but are expected to be renewed and bear interest at the greater of the Prime Rate for the last business day of the prior fiscal month or 3.25%. The Partnership recognizes interest income for the interest earned related to these loans. The outstanding amount of Partnership loans is reflected as a reduction to total Partnership capital. As of March 25, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding amount of Partnership loans was $425 and $321, respectively. Interest income earned from these loans, which is included in interest and dividends in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $3 for both three-month periods ended March 25, 2022 and ended March 26, 2021.

The following table shows the roll forward of outstanding Partnership loans for the:

	Three Months Ended
	March 25, 2022			March 26, 2021
Partnership loans outstanding at beginning of period	$	321		$	341
Partnership loans issued during the period		264			211
Repayment of Partnership loans during the period		(160	)		(114	)
Total Partnership loans outstanding	$	425		$	438

The minimum 7.5% annual return on the face amount of limited partnership capital was $23 for both three-month periods ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021. These amounts are included as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Partnership filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 12, 2018, to register $450 units of limited partnership interest ("Interests") issuable pursuant to the Partnership's 2018 Employee Limited Partnership Interest Purchase Plan (the "2018 Plan"). The Partnership issued approximately $5 and $4 of Interests under the 2018 Plan in the year ended December 31, 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, respectively. The Partnership plans to terminate the 2018 Plan in 2022 and deregister all remaining unsold Interests under the 2018 Plan. Before the 2018 Plan is terminated, the Partnership may issue the remaining $60 of Interests under that plan at the discretion of the Managing Partner. The Partnership filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the SEC on December 8, 2021, to register an additional $700 of Interests issuable pursuant to the Partnership's 2021 Employee Limited Partnership Interest Purchase Plan (the "2021 Plan"). Proceeds from the offering under the 2021 Plan are expected to be used to meet growth needs or for other purposes.

NOTE 6 – NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

As a result of its activities as a U.S. broker-dealer, Edward Jones is subject to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and capital compliance rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). Under the alternative method permitted by the rules, Edward Jones must maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $0.25 or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from client transactions. The net capital rules also provide that Edward Jones’ partnership capital may not be withdrawn if resulting net capital would be less than minimum requirements. Additionally, certain withdrawals require the approval of the SEC and FINRA to the extent they exceed defined levels, even though such withdrawals would not cause net capital to be less than minimum requirements.
 

EJ Canada is a registered broker-dealer regulated by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (“IIROC”). Under the regulations prescribed by IIROC, EJ Canada is required to maintain minimum levels of risk-adjusted capital, which are dependent on the nature of EJ Canada's assets and operations.

NOTE 7 – CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of its business, the Partnership is involved, from time to time, in various legal and regulatory matters, including arbitrations, class actions, other litigation, and examinations, investigations and proceedings by governmental authorities, self-regulatory organizations and other regulators, which may result in losses. These matters include:

Wage-and-Hour Class Action. On March 13, 2018, JFC and Edward Jones were named as defendants in a purported collective and class action lawsuit (Bland, et al. v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P, et al.) filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by four former financial advisors. The lawsuit was brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as well as Missouri and Illinois law and alleges that the defendants unlawfully attempted to recoup training costs from departing financial advisors and failed to pay all overtime owed to financial advisor trainees among other claims. The lawsuit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, compensatory and liquidated damages. On March 19, 2019, the court entered an order granting the defendants' motion to dismiss all claims, but permitting the plaintiffs to amend and re-file certain of their claims. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on May 3, 2019. On March 30, 2020, the court partially granted the defendants' renewed motion to dismiss the amended complaint and dismissed seven of the ten causes of action it purported to state. The court's order eliminated from the case any claims that rely upon the firm's contractual right to recoup training costs as well as related claims for declaratory relief. It also dismissed various state law claims. On April 8, 2022, the parties filed a joint stipulation of dismissal with prejudice, and the district court dismissed the lawsuit on April 11, 2022.

Securities Class Action. On March 30, 2018, Edward Jones and its affiliated entities and individuals were named as defendants in a putative class action (Anderson, et al. v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P., et al.) filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. The lawsuit originally was brought under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Exchange Act, as well as Missouri and California law and alleges that the defendants inappropriately transitioned client assets from commission-based accounts to fee-based programs. The plaintiffs requested declaratory, equitable, and exemplary relief, and compensatory damages. On July 9, 2019, the district court entered an order dismissing the lawsuit in its entirety without prejudice. On July 29, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which eliminated certain defendants, withdrew the Securities Act claims, added claims under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Advisers Act"), and certain additional state law claims, and reasserted the remaining claims with modified allegations. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss, the plaintiffs subsequently withdrew their Investment Advisers Act claims, and on November 12, 2019, the district court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss all other claims. The plaintiffs appealed the district court's dismissal of certain of their state law claims on jurisdictional

Item 1. Financial Statements, continued

grounds but did not appeal the dismissal of the remaining claims. On March 4, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court's dismissal of those state law claims. After further appellate proceedings in the Ninth Circuit, defendants filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, which was denied on January 18, 2022. On February 2, 2022, the defendants filed a renewed motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' remaining state law claims, which is currently pending a decision by the district court. Edward Jones and its affiliated entities and individuals deny the plaintiffs' allegations and intend to continue to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

Gender and Race Discrimination Class Action. On March 9, 2022, Edward Jones and JFC were named as defendants in a lawsuit (Dixon, et al. v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P., et al.) filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. The lawsuit was brought by a current financial advisor as a putative collective action alleging gender discrimination under the FLSA, and by a former financial advisor as a putative class action alleging race discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 1981. On April 25, 2022, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint reasserting the original claims with modified allegations and adding claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 alleging race/national origin, gender, and sexual orientation discrimination on behalf of putative classes of financial advisors. Edward Jones and JFC deny the allegations and intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

In addition to these matters, the Partnership provides for potential losses that may arise related to other contingencies. The Partnership assesses its liabilities and contingencies utilizing available information. The Partnership accrues for potential losses for those matters where it is probable that the Partnership will incur a potential loss to the extent that the amount of such potential loss can be reasonably estimated, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification No. 450, Contingencies. This liability represents the Partnership’s estimate of the probable loss at March 25, 2022, after considering, among other factors, the progress of each case, the Partnership's experience with other legal and regulatory matters and discussion with legal counsel, and is believed to be sufficient. The aggregate accrued liability is recorded within the accounts payable, accrued expenses and other line of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and may be adjusted from time to time to reflect any relevant developments.

For such matters where an accrued liability has not been established and the Partnership believes a loss is both reasonably possible and estimable, as well as for matters where an accrued liability has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is both reasonably possible and estimable, the current estimated aggregated range of additional possible loss is up to $40 as of March 25, 2022. This range of reasonably possible loss does not necessarily represent the Partnership's maximum loss exposure as the Partnership was not able to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss for all matters.

Further, the matters underlying any disclosed estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly. While the outcome of these matters is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, the Partnership believes that its established liabilities at March 25, 2022 are adequate, and the liabilities arising from such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Partnership. However, based on future developments and the potential unfavorable resolution of these matters, the outcome could be material to the Partnership’s future consolidated operating results for a particular period or periods.

NOTE 8 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Partnership has determined it has two operating and reportable segments based upon geographic location, the U.S. and Canada. Canada segment information, as reported in the following table, is based upon the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership's Canada operations, which primarily occur through a non-guaranteed subsidiary of the Partnership. The U.S. segment information is derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements less the Canada segment information as presented. Pre-variable income represents income before variable compensation expense and before allocations to partners. This is consistent with how management reviews the segments to assess performance.

NOTE 9 – OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Partnership does not offset financial instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. However, the Partnership enters into master netting arrangements with counterparties for securities purchased under agreements to resell that are subject to net settlement in the event of default. These agreements create a right of offset for the amounts due to and due from the same counterparty in the event of default or bankruptcy.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and the financial condition of the Partnership. Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 – Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Partnership’s Annual Report. All amounts are presented in millions, except as otherwise noted.

Basis of Presentation

The Partnership broadly categorizes its net revenues into four categories: fee revenue, trade revenue, net interest and dividends revenue (net of interest expense) and other revenue. In the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Income, fee revenue is composed of asset-based fees and account and activity fees. Program fees are based on the average daily market value of client assets in the program, as well as contractual rates. These fees are impacted by changes in market values of the assets and by client dollars invested in and divested from the accounts. Account and activity fees and other revenue are impacted by the number of client accounts and the variety of services provided to those accounts, among other factors. Trade revenue is composed of commissions and principal transactions revenue. Commissions are earned from the distribution of mutual fund shares, the purchase or sale of equities and the purchase of insurance products. Principal transactions revenue primarily results from the Partnership's distribution of and participation in principal trading activities in municipal obligations, over-the-counter corporate obligations, and certificates of deposit. Trade revenue is impacted by the trading volume (client dollars invested), mix of the products in which clients invest, size of trades, margins earned on the transactions and market volatility. Net interest and dividends revenue is impacted by the amount of cash and investments, receivables from and payables to clients, the variability of interest rates earned and paid on such balances, the number of Interests outstanding, and the balances of Partnership loans.

First Quarter 2022 versus First Quarter 2021 Overview

The Partnership ended the first quarter of 2022 with an 8% increase in client assets under care ("AUC") to $1.7 trillion compared to the end of the first quarter of 2021. Despite a decrease in average market levels in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the end of 2021, average client AUC increased 12% and advisory programs' average AUC increased 18% compared to the first quarter in 2021 due to higher average equity market levels, partially offset by lower average bond market levels in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, as well as the cumulative impact of net new assets.

Financial advisor attrition decreased to 5.6%. Despite lower attrition, the number of financial advisors decreased by 195 at the end of the first quarter of 2022 compared to the end of the first quarter of 2021. In the first quarter of 2021, the Partnership resumed hiring from the temporary pause on the recruitment of non-licensed financial advisors implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and since has focused on intentionally building the financial advisor pipeline with its strategy to grow and promote branch team success. This approach may continue to result in fewer financial advisors hired than historical levels.

Net new households decreased 23% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to an elevated level of new households in 2021. Net new assets decreased 5% in the first quarter of 2022 due to higher asset outflows in the first quarter of 2022 compared to lower than average outflows in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by higher average asset sizes for new households.

Net revenue increased 6% to $3,033 for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Results reflected a 12% increase in fee revenue, primarily due to higher average equity market levels, partially offset by lower average bond market levels, as well as the cumulative impact of net asset inflows in advisory programs. The net revenue increase was partially offset by decreases in other revenue and trade revenue in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in other revenue was due to unrealized losses on the Partnership's U.S. Treasury investment securities, due to rising interest rates. Other revenue also decreased due to lower market levels at the end of the first quarter of 2022 compared to the end of 2021, resulting in unrealized losses from the decrease in the value of the Partnership's mutual fund investment securities held to economically hedge future liabilities related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The unrealized losses related to the economic hedge were offset by lower financial advisor compensation expense. Trade revenue decreased due to lower client dollars invested in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Operating expenses increased 8% to $2,672 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits expense. Financial advisor compensation increased largely due to an increase in revenues on which commissions are earned. Home office and branch compensation increased primarily due to higher wages and healthcare costs, including from an increase in the number of associates. The Partnership has made and will continue to make investments in human capital, technology infrastructure, digital initiatives, virtual business enablement tools, strategic relationships and test and learn pilot programs to support the Partnership's long-term growth objectives.

Overall, the increase in operating expenses, partially offset by the increase in net revenues, generated income before allocations to partners of $361, a 5% decrease from the first quarter of 2021. Income before allocations to partners margin was 11.8% in the first quarter of 2022, which measures the short-term financial impacts of long-term investments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 25, 2022 AND MARCH 26, 2021

The discussion below details the significant fluctuations and their drivers for each of the major categories of the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Fee Revenue

Fee revenue, which consists of asset-based fees and account and activity fees, increased 12% to $2,675 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. A discussion of fee revenue components follows.

(1)

Assets on which the Partnership earns asset-based fee revenue. The U.S. portion of consolidated asset-based fee revenue was approximately 98% for the periods presented.

Overall asset-based fee revenue increased 13% to $2,503 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to increases in revenue from advisory programs fees. Growth in revenue from advisory programs was due to the cumulative impact of client assets invested in advisory programs and higher average equity market levels, partially offset by lower average bond market levels in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Service fees revenue increased due to the increase in the average value of mutual fund assets held outside of advisory programs resulting from higher average equity market levels, partially offset by lower average bond market levels in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Other asset-based fee revenue increased in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to lower fee waivers to maintain a positive client yield on the Money Market Fund resulting from increased interest rates in the first quarter of 2022.

Trade Revenue

Trade revenue, which consists of commissions and principal transactions, decreased 12% to $389 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. A discussion of trade revenue components follows.

U.S. business days		58			58			—

(1)

Percentages represent client dollars invested in each product as a percent of total client dollars invested.

The decrease in trade revenue in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was due to decreases in mutual fund and equity commissions revenue as a result of lower client dollars invested, which coincided with increased market volatility in the first quarter of 2022. Overall margin earned decreased due to a change in product mix with a higher portion of client dollars invested in equities and principal transaction products in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, which earn lower margins than mutual fund and insurance products.

Net Interest and Dividends

Net interest and dividends revenue increased 50% to $21 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to increased interest income earned on client margin loans, as well as an increase in short-term investment interest. The average balances of client margin loans held by clients and short-term investments increased 20% and 8%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021. Additionally, short-term investment income increased due to a rise in interest rates in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

The majority of interest expense in the first quarter of 2022 consisted of the minimum 7.5% annual return on the face amount of limited partnership capital paid to limited partners. The 7.5% rate is fixed and is not impacted by the current interest rate environment.

Counted on a full-time equivalent basis.

The increase in operating expenses in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to compensation and benefits expense (described below) increasing 5% to $2,148 and communications and data processing fees increasing 40% to $146, due to intentional investments in technology infrastructure, digital initiatives, virtual enablement tools and test and learn pilot programs.

Financial advisor compensation and benefits expense increased 5% to $1,229 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 largely due to an increase in revenues on which commissions are earned. Home office and branch compensation and benefits expense increased 11% to $444 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher wages and healthcare costs, including from an increase in the number of associates.

Variable compensation expands and contracts in relation to the Partnership’s related profitability and margin earned. A significant portion of the Partnership’s profits are allocated to variable compensation and paid to associates in the form of bonuses and profit sharing. Variable compensation increased 1% to $475 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to increases in the number of profitable branches and an overall increase in branch profitability.

Segment Information

The Partnership has two operating and reportable segments based upon geographic location, the U.S. and Canada. Canada segment information, as reported in the following table, is based upon the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership’s Canada operations. The U.S. segment information is derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements less the Canada segment information as presented. Pre-variable income represents income before variable compensation expense and before allocations to partners. This is consistent with how management views the segments to assess performance.

U.S.

Net revenue increased 6% to $2,944 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in asset-based fee revenue. Asset-based fee revenue increased 13% in the first quarter of 2022 to $2,437 led by an increase in revenue from advisory programs fees, primarily due to the continued investment of client assets in advisory programs and higher average equity market levels, partially offset by lower average bond market levels in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Operating expenses (excluding variable compensation) increased 10% to $2,125 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits expense. Financial advisor compensation increased largely due to an increase in revenues on which commissions are earned. Home office and branch compensation increased primarily due to higher wages and healthcare costs, including from an increase in the number of associates.

Net income before allocations to partners decreased 7% to $355 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Canada

Net revenue increased 20% to $89 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in asset-based fee revenue. Asset-based fee revenue increased 27% in the first quarter of 2022 to $66 led by an increase in revenue from advisory programs fees primarily due to the cumulative impact of client assets invested in advisory programs and higher average equity market levels, partially offset by lower average bond market levels in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Operating expenses (excluding variable compensation) increased 9% to $72 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to an increase in financial advisor compensation. Financial advisor compensation increased largely due to an increase in revenues on which commissions are earned.

Net income before allocations to partners increased $7 to $6 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY REFORM

As discussed more fully in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors – Risk Related to the Partnership's Business – Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives of the Partnership’s Annual Report, the Partnership continues to monitor several proposed, potential and recently enacted federal and state legislation, rules and regulations.

MUTUAL FUNDS AND INSURANCE PRODUCTS

The Partnership estimates approximately 27% and 30% of its total revenue was derived from sales and services related to mutual fund and insurance products for the three-month periods ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, respectively. In addition, the Partnership derived 13% of its total revenue for both three-month periods ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, from one mutual fund company. The revenue generated from this company relates to business conducted with the Partnership's U.S. segment.

Significant reductions in these revenues due to changes in the mutual funds industry affecting fee structures that result in decreased margins earned, regulatory reform or other changes to the Partnership’s relationship with mutual fund or insurance companies could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership requires liquidity to cover its operating expenses, net capital requirements, capital expenditures, distributions to partners and redemptions of Partnership interests, as well as to facilitate client transactions. The principal sources for meeting the Partnership’s liquidity requirements include existing liquidity and capital resources of the Partnership, discussed further below, and funds generated from operations. The Partnership believes that the liquidity provided by these sources will be sufficient to meet its capital and liquidity requirements for the next twelve months. Depending on conditions in the capital markets and other factors, the Partnership will, from time to time, consider the issuance of debt and additional Partnership capital, the proceeds of which could be used to meet growth needs or for other purposes.

Partnership Capital

The Partnership’s growth in capital has historically been the result of the sale of Interests to its associates and existing limited partners, the sale of subordinated limited partnership interests to its current or retiring general partners, and retention of a portion of general partner earnings.

The Partnership filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 12, 2018, to register $450 of Interests issuable pursuant to the Partnership's 2018 Employee Limited Partnership Interest Purchase Plan (the "2018 Plan"). The Partnership issued approximately $5 and $4 of Interests under the 2018 Plan in the year ended December 31, 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, respectively. The Partnership plans to terminate the 2018 Plan in 2022 and deregister all remaining unsold Interests under the 2018 Plan. Before the 2018 Plan is terminated, the Partnership may issue the remaining $60 of Interests under that plan at the discretion of the Managing Partner. The Partnership filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the SEC on December 8, 2021, to register an additional $700 of Interests issuable pursuant to the 2021 Plan. Proceeds from the offering under the 2021 Plan are expected to be used to meet growth needs or for other purposes. The issuance of Interests reduces the Partnership’s net interest income and income before allocations to partners.

The Partnership’s capital subject to mandatory redemption at March 25, 2022, net of reserve for anticipated withdrawals, was $3,429, an increase of $194 from December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to the retention of a portion of general partner earnings ($38) and additional capital contributions related to limited partner, subordinated limited partner and general partner interests ($4, $52 and $264, respectively), partially offset by the net increase in Partnership loans outstanding ($104) and the redemption of limited partner, subordinated limited partner and general partner interests ($5, $17 and $38, respectively). During the three-month periods ended March 25, 2022 and March 26, 2021, the Partnership retained 13.8% of income allocated to general partners.

Under the terms of the Partnership’s Twenty-First Amended and Restated Agreement of Registered Limited Liability Limited Partnership, dated September 1, 2021 (the “Partnership Agreement”), a partner’s capital is required to be redeemed by the Partnership in the event of the partner's death, subject to compliance with ongoing regulatory capital requirements. In the event of a partner’s death, the Partnership generally redeems the partner’s capital within six months. The Partnership has restrictions in place which govern the withdrawal of capital. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, limited partners requesting withdrawal from the Partnership are repaid their capital in three equal annual installments beginning no earlier than 90 days after their withdrawal notice is received by the Managing Partner. The capital of general partners requesting withdrawal from the Partnership is converted to subordinated limited partnership capital or, at the discretion of the Managing Partner, redeemed by the Partnership. Subordinated limited partners requesting withdrawal are repaid their capital in six equal annual installments beginning no earlier than 90 days after their request for withdrawal of capital is received by the Managing Partner. The Managing Partner has discretion to waive or modify these withdrawal restrictions and to accelerate the return of capital.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued

The Partnership makes loans available to those general partners and, in limited circumstances, subordinated limited partners (in each case, other than members of the Enterprise Leadership Team ("ELT"), as defined in the Partnership Agreement), who require financing for some or all of their Partnership capital contributions. In limited circumstances, a general partner may withdraw from the Partnership and become a subordinated limited partner while he or she still has an outstanding Partnership loan. It is anticipated that, of the future general and subordinated limited partnership capital contributions (in each case, other than for ELT members) requiring financing, the majority will be financed through Partnership loans. Loans made by the Partnership to such partners are generally for a period of one year but are expected to be renewed and bear interest at the greater of the Prime Rate for the last business day of the prior fiscal month or 3.25% per annum. The Partnership recognizes interest income for the interest earned related to these loans. Partners borrowing from the Partnership will be required to repay such loans by applying the earnings received from the Partnership to such loans, net of amounts retained by the Partnership, amounts distributed for income taxes and 5% of earnings distributed to the partner. The Partnership has full recourse against any partner that defaults on loan obligations to the Partnership. The Partnership does not anticipate that partner loans will have an adverse impact on the Partnership’s short-term liquidity or capital resources.

Any partner may also choose to have individual banking arrangements for their Partnership capital contributions. Any bank financing of capital contributions is in the form of unsecured bank loan agreements and is between the individual and the bank. The Partnership does not guarantee these bank loans, nor can the partner pledge their partnership interest as collateral for the bank loan. The Partnership performs certain administrative functions in connection with its limited partners who have elected to finance a portion of their Partnership capital contributions through individual unsecured bank loan agreements from banks with whom the Partnership has other banking relationships. For all limited partner capital contributions financed through such bank loan agreements, each agreement instructs the Partnership to apply the proceeds from the redemption of that individual’s capital account to the repayment of the limited partner's bank loan prior to any funds being released to the partner. In addition, the partner is required to apply Partnership earnings, net of any distributions to pay taxes, to service the interest and principal on the bank loan. Should a partner’s individual bank loan not be renewed upon maturity for any reason, the Partnership could experience increased requests for capital liquidations, which could adversely impact the Partnership’s liquidity. In addition, partners who finance all or a portion of their capital contributions with bank financing may be more likely to request the withdrawal of capital to meet bank financing requirements should the partners experience a period of reduced earnings. As a partnership, any withdrawals by general partners, subordinated limited partners or limited partners would reduce the Partnership’s available liquidity and capital.

Many of the same banks that provide financing to limited partners also provide financing to the Partnership. To the extent these banks increase credit available to the partners, financing available to the Partnership may be reduced.

The Partnership, while not a party to any partner unsecured bank loan agreements, does facilitate making payments of allocated income to certain banks on behalf of the limited partner. The following table represents amounts related to Partnership loans as well as bank loans (for which the Partnership facilitates certain administrative functions). Partners may have arranged their own bank loans to finance their Partnership capital for which the Partnership does not facilitate certain administrative functions and therefore any such loans are not included in the table.

Total Partnership capital, as defined for this table, is before the reduction of Partnership loans and is net of reserve for anticipated withdrawals.

Historically, neither the amount of Partnership capital financed with individual loans as indicated in the table above, nor the amount of partner withdrawal requests, has had a significant impact on the Partnership’s liquidity or capital resources.

Lines of Credit

The following table shows the composition of the Partnership’s aggregate bank lines of credit in place as of:

	March 25, 2022		December 31, 2021
2018 Credit Facility	$	500	$	500
Uncommitted secured credit facilities		390		390
Total bank lines of credit	$	890	$	890

In accordance with the terms of the Partnership's $500 committed revolving line of credit (the "2018 Credit Facility") entered into in September 2018, the Partnership is required to maintain a leverage ratio of no more than 35% and minimum Partnership capital, net of reserve for anticipated withdrawals and Partnership loans, of at least $1,884. In addition, Edward Jones is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $1,344 and minimum regulatory net capital of at least 6% of aggregate debit items as calculated under the alternative method. The Partnership has the ability to draw on various types of loans. The associated interest rate depends on the type of loan, duration of the loan, whether the loan is secured or unsecured and the amount of leverage. Contractual rates are based on an index rate plus the applicable spread. The 2018 Credit Facility is intended to provide short-term liquidity to the Partnership should the need arise. As of March 25, 2022, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2018 Credit Facility.

In addition, the Partnership has multiple uncommitted secured lines of credit totaling $390 that are subject to change at the discretion of the banks. The Partnership has an additional uncommitted line of credit where the amount and the associated collateral requirements are at the bank's discretion in the event of a borrowing. Based on credit market conditions and the uncommitted nature of these credit facilities, it is possible that these lines of credit could decrease or not be available in the future. Actual borrowing capacity on secured lines is based on availability of client margin securities or firm-owned securities, which would serve as collateral on loans in the event the Partnership borrowed against these lines.

There were no amounts outstanding on the 2018 Credit Facility or the uncommitted lines of credit as of March 25, 2022 or December 31, 2021. In addition, the Partnership did not have any draws against these lines of credit during the three-month period ended March 25, 2022.

Cash Activity

As of March 25, 2022, the Partnership had $1,306 in cash and cash equivalents and $1,084 in securities purchased under agreements to resell, which generally have maturities of less than one week. This totaled to $2,390 of Partnership liquidity as of March 25, 2022, a 29% decrease from $3,364 as of December 31, 2021. The Partnership had $20,232 and $20,179 in cash and investments segregated under federal regulations as of March 25, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which was not available for general use. The Partnership also held $712 and $413 in government and agency obligations as of March 25, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, primarily to help facilitate cash management and maintain firm liquidity. The increase in the government and agency obligations balance as of March 25, 2022 was partly due to the timing of maturities and was partially reflected in lower firm cash as of March 25, 2022. Changes in cash were also due to timing of daily client cash activity in relation to the weekly segregation requirement.

The Partnership continues to evaluate its cash management strategy. Banks have experienced a significant increase in cash deposits due to the market and economic uncertainty from COVID-19, which may impact the Partnership's ability to continue to find financial institutions at which to place funds for principal protection while earning a reasonable rate of return on those funds.

Regulatory Requirements

As a result of its activities as a U.S. broker-dealer, Edward Jones is subject to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Exchange Act and capital compliance rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). Under the alternative method permitted by the rules, Edward Jones must maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $0.25 or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from client transactions. The net capital rules also provide that Edward Jones’ partnership capital may not be withdrawn if resulting net capital would be less than minimum requirements. Additionally, certain withdrawals require the approval of the SEC and FINRA to the extent they exceed defined levels, even though such withdrawals would not cause net capital to be less than minimum requirements.

EJ Canada is a registered broker-dealer regulated by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada ("IIROC"). Under the regulations prescribed by IIROC, EJ Canada is required to maintain minimum levels of risk-adjusted capital, which are dependent on the nature of EJ Canada's assets and operations.

The following table shows the Partnership’s capital figures for its U.S. and Canada broker-dealers as of:

	March 25, 2022			December 31, 2021			% Change
U.S.:
Net capital	$	1,482		$	1,421			4	%
Net capital in excess of the minimum required	$	1,412		$	1,352			4	%

THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION

The Partnership’s net assets are primarily monetary, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, cash and investments segregated under federal regulations, firm-owned securities, and receivables, less liabilities. Monetary net assets are primarily liquid in nature and would not be significantly affected by inflation. Inflation and future expectations of inflation influence securities prices, as well as activity levels in the securities markets. As a result, profitability and capital may be impacted by inflation and inflationary expectations. Additionally, inflation’s impact on the Partnership’s operating expenses may affect profitability to the extent that additional costs are not recoverable through increased prices of services offered by the Partnership.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 3. quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market RISK

Various levels of management within the Partnership manage the Partnership’s risk exposure. Position limits in inventory accounts are established and monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit risk related to various financing activities is reduced by the industry practice of obtaining and maintaining collateral. The Partnership monitors its exposure to counterparty risk through the use of credit exposure information, the monitoring of collateral values and the establishment of credit limits. For further discussion of monitoring, see the Risk Management discussion in Part III, Item 10 – Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance of the Partnership’s Annual Report.

The Partnership is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Such changes in interest rates impact the income from interest-earning assets, primarily receivables from clients on margin balances and short-term investments, which are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, investments segregated under federal regulations, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, which averaged $3.5 billion and $23.4 billion for the three-month period ended March 25, 2022. These margin receivables and investments earned interest at an average annual rate of approximately 388 and 14 basis points (3.88% and 0.14%), respectively, during the first three months of 2022. Changes in interest rates also have an impact on the expense related to the liabilities that finance these assets, such as amounts payable to clients.

The Partnership performed an analysis of its financial instruments and assessed the related interest rate risk and materiality in accordance with the SEC rules. Under current market conditions and based on current levels of interest-earning assets and the liabilities that finance these assets, the Partnership estimates that a 100-basis point (1.00%) increase in short-term interest rates could increase its annual net interest income by approximately $142 million. This estimate reflects minimum contractual rates on certain balances. Conversely, the Partnership estimates that a reduction in short-term interest rates to zero could decrease the Partnership’s annual net interest income by approximately $30 million. A 100-basis point (1.00%) decrease in short-term interest rates was not utilized for this comparison because it would result in negative rates given that rates are already near zero.

ITEM 4. controls and procedures

The Partnership maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Partnership’s certifying officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon an evaluation performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s certifying officers, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 25, 2022.

There have been no changes in the Partnership’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
