**B. Riley Securities Provides Post-Carve Out Business Update and Financial Highlights**

 ****

**ARLINGTON, VA**, **August 7, 2025** – **B. Riley Securities Holdings, Inc.** ("B. Riley Securities," "BRS" or the "Company"), a leading middle market investment bank, today provided a business update and certain preliminary financial results for its first full quarter since the previously announced carve-out transaction from B. Riley Financial, Inc. (Nasdaq: RILY) ("BRF") in March 2025.

**Management Commentary**

"It's been a busy summer at B. Riley Securities, and we're pleased to share a business update including the results of our first full quarter following our carve-out from BRF," said **Jimmy Baker, Co-CEO and Head of Capital Markets**. "As most indices reached new highs, client activity increased significantly during the quarter, driving sequential improvements in both Institutional Brokerage commissions and Investment Banking revenue. We executed and advised on a diverse range of financing needs, meeting clients' emerging priorities including crypto treasury implementation and advancing AI adoption. Over the past year, we've helped clients raise over $8 billion to support AI-driven investments – a trend that remained a key driver of activity throughout the second quarter. Building upon the convertibles practice we established last year, we've expanded our variable rate transaction capabilities to offer our clients flexible, cost-effective financing, backed by our firm's growing balance sheet. This progress, along with strong at-the-market issuance volume, has continued into the third quarter."

"We've continued to strengthen our organization through key team additions and enhanced capabilities that position our firm to deliver increasing value to middle market clients throughout market cycles," said **Andy Moore, Chairman and Co-CEO**. "We've added talent across the platform, including seven senior strategic hires who have reinforced leadership across key practice areas, expanded sector coverage and deepened domain expertise in areas such as Real Estate, Healthcare, Digital Assets, Consumer, TMT, FinTech, Renewables, and Industrials such as Aerospace & Defense. Our research-led franchise remains a foundational pillar and key differentiator of our business, demonstrated by the draw of several hundred companies and institutional investors that participated in our 25<sup>th</sup> Annual Investor Conference in May."

"We have refocused on our strengths as a mid-market merchant bank, stabilized and strengthened key teams, and begun to recapture meaningful momentum in our core business lines," continued **Mr. Baker**. "After a challenging Q1 marked by several revenue headwinds, we've since executed our carve-out and delivered month-over-month improvement throughout Q2 and into the early part of Q3. It's deeply rewarding to see our clients and teammates realize the benefits of our platform, and we are especially grateful for the continued support and dedication through our transition earlier this year. While we've only just completed our first quarter post-carve-out, we're encouraged by the market's response to our strategy, and we look forward to providing future updates to our stakeholders."

The adjusted results presented above, including Adjusted Net Revenue and Adjusted Net Income, are non-GAAP metrics that BRS believes offer a clearer view of the firm's underlying operating performance. A description of the adjustments made to arrive at non-GAAP figures is provided in the note regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures in the Appendix of this press release.

Revenue and net income may vary from period to period based on the number, size, and timing of completed transactions, among other factors. Accordingly, these results may not be indicative of broader business momentum or longer-term performance.

**Operational & Strategic Update**

● **Debt-Free Balance Sheet:** As of June 30, 2025, cash and securities totaled $94.5 million. BRS continues to operate with no outstanding debt.

● **Enhanced Governance:** BRS took additional steps during the quarter to further strengthen its governance framework. The Board of Directors comprises five members: Andy Moore as Chairman, Jimmy Baker, Ryan Greenawalt, Steve Haggerty, and Dan Shribman.

● **Capital Management and Alignment:** In light of the firm's quarterly performance and outlook, the BRS Board has approved the payment of a common stock dividend of approximately $0.22 per common share, or approximately $4.1 million in the aggregate. While this does not represent the establishment of a recurring dividend program, BRS will continue to evaluate future returns of capital to shareholders in the context of available excess capital, business growth prospects and client capital needs.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This release contains forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties, including the Company's ability to execute under its new structure, market conditions, and client transaction volumes. Results could differ materially from expectations. Please refer to risk disclosures in B. Riley Financial, Inc.'s SEC filings for detailed information.

**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) on legacy investment positions (net of "regular way" fixed income trading revenue) and fair value adjustments on loans, 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) on legacy investment positions (net of "regular way" fixed income trading revenue), fair value adjustments on loans and other investment-related expenses, 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.

**First Half 2025 Highlights**

● Earned approximately $29 million in profits from the Company's equity participation in the JOANN's liquidation.

● Hired new B. Riley Financial Chief Financial Officer, Scott Yessner, and added resources to support SEC filings.

**Bryant Riley, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of B. Riley, commented:** "We have taken aggressive, decisive and necessary action over the last year to align our balance sheet while continuing to invest in our business and operations. As we look forward, we are laser focused on our financial services businesses, which have seen increasing momentum facilitated by cash flows from our Telecom businesses.

"As demonstrated by the Great American transaction last year, and our subsequent JOANN's liquidation equity investment, our strategic objective is to maintain both economic and business relationship upside throughout the process of rightsizing our balance sheet.

**Scott Yessner, Chief Financial Officer of B. Riley, commented:** "Our team has worked tirelessly through a complex audit, challenging operating environment, and delays outside their control. We are in the final stages of documenting the 2024 audit and will file the 10-K shortly. We added a national accounting firm to provide staff augmentation across multiple departments in accounting and financial operations in early July. With our combined teams, we have been documenting our 1<sup>st</sup> quarter and 2<sup>nd</sup> quarter filings during the 2024 10-K process. We expect to file both 10-Qs in 30 to 45 days after the 10-K."

**Tom Kelleher, Co-Chief Executive Officer of B. Riley, commented:** "As exemplified in the B. Riley Securities recent announcement, many of our operating businesses continue to generate meaningful results. Separately, we will continue to ensure we have the best resources in place, assessing opportunities across our portfolio to invest and support our operating companies and balance the Company's operational footprint."
