    Net Income Available to Common Shareholders Expected to be in Range of $48 million to $68 million, or $1.57 to $2.22 Per Diluted Net Income per Common Share

    LOS ANGELES, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:RILY) ("B. Riley" or the "Company"), a diversified financial services company, today released preliminary estimates of financial results for the three-month period ending December 31, 2024. The estimated financial results provide a range that are unaudited and subject to completion of the ongoing audit of the Company's annual financial statements.

    Bryant Riley, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of B. Riley Financial, commented: "This quarter reflects a demarcation line from managing the losses in our principal investments to moving forward with our core businesses as the primary focus. During the quarter, we made important progress monetizing non-core assets and addressing our near-term liabilities. At the same time, our results were negatively impacted by a number of unusual expenses related to legal, transaction and restructuring fees, which we believe will decline as we progress through 2025."

    Riley continued, "The steps we've taken over the past year, which include reducing debt by more than $700 million since January 2024, have enabled us to retire our Nomura facility and look forward as a company. While we recognize we have work to do, we do believe the worst is behind us and remain confident in the future based on the underlying strength of our core businesses, including B. Riley Securities. B. Riley Securities finished the year with a strong December, and we are well positioned to invest resources to grow the team over the coming quarters."

    Summary of preliminary unaudited estimates for the three-months ending December 31, 2024:

    • Net income available to common shareholders is expected to be in the range of $48 million to $68 million, or $1.57 to $2.22 per diluted net income per common share, which includes approximately $236 million to $247 million of income from discontinued operations primarily related to divesture of a majority interest in the Great American businesses
    • Diluted net income per common share is expected to be in the range of $1.57 to $2.22
    • Net loss from continuing operations is expected to be in the range of ($178) million to ($187) million, which primarily includes:
      • Preliminary estimated impairment charges of goodwill and intangible assets of $73 million to $79 million;
      • $49 million of trading losses and realized and unrealized losses on investments
    • Operating adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is expected to be in the range of $12 million to $14 million
    • Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of December 31, 2024 of approximately $257 million, which included approximately $156 million of cash and cash equivalents and $101 million of restricted cash primarily reserved for the Company's February 2025 senior notes, which were redeemed on February 28, 2025
    • Total debt of $1.78 billion as of December 31, 2024
    • Total debt, net of cash and investments, of $9911 million as of December 31, 2024, a decline of $221 million from the third quarter

    Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Certain of the information set forth herein, including adjusted EBITDA, operating adjusted EBITDA, and total debt, net of cash and investments, may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. B. Riley Financial believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the Company's available capital resources, the operating performance of its business and its revenues and cash flow, (i) excluding in the case of adjusted EBITDA, net interest expense, provisions for or benefit from income taxes, depreciation, amortization, fair value adjustment, restructuring charge, gain on extinguishment of loans, gain on bargain purchase, impairment of goodwill and tradenames, stock-based compensation and transaction and other expenses, (ii) excluding in the case of operating adjusted EBITDA, the aforementioned adjustments for adjusted EBITDA as well as trading income (losses) and fair value adjustments on loans net of fixed income trading revenue, realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, and other investment related expenses, (iii) including in the case of total cash and investments, cash and cash equivalents, net of noncontrolling interest, restricted cash, due from clearing brokers net of due to clearing brokers, securities and other investments owned, at fair value net of (a) securities sold not yet purchased and (b) noncontrolling interest related to investments, advances against customer contracts, loans receivable, at fair value net of loan participations sold, and other investments reported in prepaid and other assets, 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.
