RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company’s receivables represent fee receivables, amounts due from customers and other receivables. Where applicable, receivables are stated net of an estimated allowance for credit losses determined in accordance with the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model.

Of the Company’s fee receivables at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $116,333 and $113,929, respectively, represented financing receivables for our Private Capital Advisory fees.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, customers and other receivables included $93,417 and $86,412, respectively, of customer loans provided by LFB to high net worth individuals and families, which are fully collateralized and monitored for counterparty creditworthiness, with such collateral having a fair value in excess of the carrying amount of the loans as of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The aggregate carrying amount of other fees and customers and other receivables was $472,277 and $561,978 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
