Estimated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 are summarized as follows:

Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is estimated to be in the range of $67 million to $77 million, or $2.19 to $2.52 net income per diluted common share compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $(286) million or $(9.39) per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Results for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025 include an unrealized gain of approximately $53 million on investments.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of September 30, 2025 of approximately $185 million, which included approximately $184 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1 million of restricted cash. This is a decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash from $247 million as of December 31, 2024. In the comparable quarter ended September 30, 2024, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $153 million.

Total securities and other investment, loans receivable, and amounts due from clearing brokers are estimated to be approximately $600 to $620 million at September 30, 2025. Total assets of the Company are estimated to be approximately $1.7 billion at September 30, 2025, a decrease from approximately $2.2 billion in the comparable period ended September 30, 2024 and a decrease from approximately 1.8 billion in the period ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in total assets relative to the period ended September 30, 2024 is primarily driven by a decrease in Assets from Discontinued Operations of approximately $364 million and by a decrease in Loans Receivable at Fair Value of approximately $97 million. The decrease in total assets relative to the period ended December 31, 2024 is primarily driven by a decrease in Assets Held for Sale of approximately $85 million.

Total debt is estimated to be approximately $1.44 billion at September 30, 2025, a decrease of approximately $619 million from $2.06 billion at September 30, 2024 and a decrease of approximately $330 million from $1.77 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease in total debt during the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 includes approximately $347 million primarily related to the servicing of existing debt, approximately $145 million reduction in the outstanding balance from retiring the senior notes due February 28, 2025, and approximately $127 million related to the exchange of certain senior notes. The decrease in total debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes approximately $145 million reduction in the outstanding balance from retiring the senior notes due February 28, 2025, approximately $127 million related to the exchange of certain senior notes, and $58 million primarily related to the servicing of existing debt.
