Management Commentary

“2025 successfully demonstrated our platform’s durability – a testament to our team’s perseverance and clients valuing our proprietary product,” said Andy Moore, Chief Executive Officer, B. Riley Securities. “Following the strategic initiatives announced by BRC Group Holdings to integrate our affiliated banking, capital markets, and B. Riley Wealth platforms, our mandate is clear: we are officially on offense, and I am energized to guide our next chapter.”

“As traditional middle-market funding sources retreat, this proposed integration creates one of the few platforms uniting investment banking, broad distribution, and balance sheet capabilities – uniquely positioning us to step into the void to solve our clients’ critical capital mandates and capture market share. We approach the current market from a fortified position, having executed over 200 transactions representing $42 billion in debt and equity raised for clients during 2025, while serving as one of the few banks to lead both a $180 million IPO and $170 million follow-on last year,” said Joe Nardini, President and Head of Investment Banking, B. Riley Securities. “While 2026 brings renewed volatility and shifting financing timelines, our model has historically thrived in dislocation. Looking beyond near-term headwinds, our expanding cross-platform capabilities and an improving IPO market provide a constructive backdrop to drive anticipated second-half revenue diversification.”

Mr. Moore continued, “Our differentiated focus on underserved markets continues to draw top-tier talent, and we are strategically expanding our platform to build on the 10 senior producers recruited last year. We compound this expansion with rigorous operational discipline, embedding enterprise-wide AI as a force multiplier to accelerate execution. As we advance to our previously announced proposed integration with B. Riley Wealth and return to full BRCGH ownership, we anticipate future financial results will be reported on a consolidated basis by BRCGH, transitioning away from standalone BRS earnings releases. We look forward to discussing our expanded vision with clients and partners at our 26th Annual Institutional Investor Conference next month.”

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain information set forth herein, including adjusted net revenue and adjusted net income (loss), may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. B. Riley Securities believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the operating performance of the Company’s business and its revenues and cash flow, (i) excluding in the case of adjusted net revenue, trading gains (losses) and fair value adjustments on loans on legacy investment positions (net of “regular way” fixed income trading revenue), and including Securities Lending interest expense and (ii) excluding in the case of adjusted net income, fair value adjustments, stock-based compensation, trading gains (losses) and fair value adjustments on loans on legacy investment positions (net of certain related non-controlling interest and investment-related expense adjustments and “regular way” fixed income trading revenue), and including the estimated related tax expense or benefit on the aforementioned adjustments, that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). In addition, the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company’s operating performance, management compensation, capital resources, and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
