Fourth Quarter 2002
Lehman Brothers Reports Net Income Of $187 Million, Or $0.69 Per Common Share For The Fourth Quarter

Lehman Brothers Records Recently Announced Research Analyst Settlement in Fourth Quarter 2002

NEW YORK, January 9, 2003
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. today announced that it will record in its 2002 fourth quarter the recently announced settlement regarding allegations of research analyst conflicts of interest. As such, a pre-tax charge of $80 million ($56 million after-tax, and $0.21 per common share) will now be included in the Firm’s 2002 full year results. This amends the previous earnings announcement on December 19, 2002.

For the full year of fiscal 2002, the Firm will report net income of $975 million, or $3.47 per common share (diluted) compared to $1.26 billion, or $4.38 per common share (diluted) in fiscal 2001. Fourth quarter 2002 net income will be $187 million, or $0.69 per common share (diluted) compared to $130 million, or $0.46 per common share (diluted) in the fourth quarter of 2001.

Although this settlement was agreed to subsequent to the Firm’s fiscal year end and subsequent to the Firm’s fourth quarter 2002 earnings release, it is appropriate and conservative to account for it in fourth quarter 2002, based on accounting rules governing this type of subsequent event.
