B. RILEY FINANCIAL INC.

B. Riley Financial reported adjusted operating EBITDA of $66 million for Q2 2026, diluted earnings per share of $0.45 and revenue of $239 million. Drivers were the recovering capital markets business (B. Riley Securities was involved in transactions totaling $21 billion) as well as higher service and fee revenue. The company reduced debt in the first half by $497 million to net debt of $285 million and recorded lower operating expenses. Management highlights an improved pipeline and recurring revenue from asset management and communications, but warns of continued short-term market volatility and maturing liabilities in 2026. » Más en de.investing.com

B. Riley Financial reported preliminary Q4 2024 results and outlined a series of transactions to strengthen the balance sheet, including a joint venture with Oaktree that transferred a majority stake in Great American for about $203 million in cash and a retained 44% ownership. The company raised roughly $236 million from brand-asset financing, agreed to sell part of its W-2 wealth business to Stifel (expected cash consideration ~ $26 million), closed a $160 million senior secured facility with Oaktree, fully redeemed February 2025 notes, and sold Atlantic Coast Recycling for ~$70 million. Preliminary Q4 figures show net income available to common shareholders of $48–68 million (including discontinued operations) and a net loss from continuing operations of $178–187 million; operating adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is expected at $12–14 million. CEO Bryant Riley withdrew his take-private proposal and said the firm will focus on core businesses—B. Riley Securities, Wealth Management and advisory services—while continuing to monetize noncore assets and restore NASDAQ compliance. » Más en finance.yahoo.com

Shares of B. Riley Financial jumped sharply after the company filed its delayed Q2 report ahead of Nasdaq’s Dec. 23 deadline, removing an immediate delisting threat. The filing showed a return to profitability with net income of $137.5 million for Q2 2025 and revenue of $225.3 million, boosted by one-time gains including the sale of GlassRatner and senior note exchanges. Management said Q3 remains outstanding but expects to file by Nasdaq’s Jan. 20, 2026 deadline as the firm works to stabilize operations amid prior write-offs and an ongoing civil investigation. » Más en investing.com
