Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-looking statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause Company’s performance or achievements to be materially different from any expected future results, performance, or achievements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and the Company assumes no duty to update forward looking statements, except as required by law. Actual future results, performance or achievements may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company, including, but not limited to, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that affect the tax or accounting treatment of the sale of the GlassRatner disposal group as outlined in Note 1 – Description of the Disposition to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information. In addition to these factors, investors should review the “Risk Factors” set forth in Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which identify important factors, though not necessarily all such factors, that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements in this communication.

Exhibit 99.1

 

BRC GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. (F/K/A B. RILEY FINANCIAL, INC.)

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information

(Dollars in thousands, except share data)

 

On June 27, 2025, BRC Group Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a B. Riley Financial, Inc.) (the “Company”), completed the sale of the “GlassRatner” disposal group, as defined and further described in Note 1 - Description of the Disposition. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is intended to illustrate the pro forma effects of the disposition of GlassRatner and other transaction accounting adjustments and was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information has been derived from the Company’s historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and reflects certain assumptions and transaction accounting adjustments that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances and based on the information available, as further described in Note 3 - Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, reflect the disposition of the GlassRatner disposal group as if it had closed on January 1, 2022 (refer to Note 2 – Basis of Presentation, for further discussion). An unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is not reflected in the pro forma consolidated financial information because the GlassRatner disposal group transactions are already reflected in the Company’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

An unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet is not reflected in the pro forma consolidated financial information because the disposal of GlassRatner occurred prior to June 30, 2025, and is therefore already reflected in the Company’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with:

 

The accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information;

 

The Company’s historical audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the three years ended December 31, 2024 which were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed; and

 

The Company’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q; and

 

The Company’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is provided for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of what the Company’s results of operations would have been had the Company operated historically as an independent organization separate from GlassRatner, or if the disposition had occurred on the date indicated. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should not be considered representative of the Company’s future consolidated results of operations.

BRC GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. (F/K/A B. RILEY FINANCIAL, INC.)

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information

(Dollars in thousands, except share data)

 

Note 1 – Description of the Disposition 

 

On June 27, 2025, the Company signed an equity purchase agreement to sell all of the membership interests of its wholly owned subsidiary, GlassRatner Advisory & Capital Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and B. Riley Farber Advisory Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Farber”) (together, GlassRatner Advisory & Capital Group, LLC and Farber are collectively referred to as “GlassRatner”). In connection with the sale of the GlassRatner disposal group, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement with the purchaser of the GlassRatner disposal group to provide certain management and corporate services.

 

The Company determined that the transactions associated with the disposition of the GlassRatner disposal group, which at closing represented substantially all of the Financial Consulting segment, qualified as discontinued operations.

 

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

 

The historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information to reflect certain transaction accounting adjustments related to the disposition of the GlassRatner disposal group as described above in Note 1 - Description of the Disposition.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information and accompanying notes have been prepared for informational purposes only, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, reflect the disposition of the GlassRatner disposal group as if it had closed on January 1, 2022 (refer to Note 2 – Basis of Presentation, for further discussion). An unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is not reflected in the pro forma consolidated financial information because the GlassRatner disposal group transactions are already reflected in the Company’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

An unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet is not reflected in the pro forma consolidated financial information because the disposal of GlassRatner occurred prior to June 30, 2025, and is therefore already reflected in the Company’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025.

 

Note 3 – Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information has been prepared based upon certain pro forma adjustments to the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company. Certain assumptions regarding the operations of the Company have been made in connection with the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information. These adjustments and assumptions are as follows:

 

(a)Reflects adjustments to interest expense on the Company’s existing indebtedness under the Credit Facility for the repayment of approximately $32.9 million of principal on the term loan, using a portion of the cash proceeds received from the disposition of the GlassRatner disposal group. The repayment of principal relates the Oaktree Credit Facilities, which were entered into on February 26, 2025, replacing the Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC (“Nomura”) term loan facility established on August 21, 2023.

  

The proceeds received from the Nomura arrangement on August 21, 2023 were used for several purposes, including the repayment of all outstanding obligations under the original credit agreement dated June 23, 2021 (as modified by that certain First Amendment dated as of September 15, 2021, that certain Second Incremental Amendment dated as of December 17, 2021, that certain Third Amendment dated as of June 17, 2022, that certain Fourth Amendment dated as of October 13, 2022, and that certain Fifth Amendment dated as of March 2, 2023). The effective interest rates on the lending arrangements were 11.52%, 11.37%, and 9.23% as of December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. 

 

The GlassRatner disposal group was not part of the borrowing base assets under the Nomura term loan facility. Because the sale of the GlassRatner disposal group would not have required repayment under the historical Nomura term loan facility, the Company has elected to present the pro forma interest expense adjustments during each annual period (when the Nomura term loan facility was outstanding) as "Other Transaction Accounting Adjustments." 

 

(b)Reflects the adjustments to record the estimated income tax impact of the unaudited pro forma adjustments. The income tax effect was estimated using the Company’s blended federal and state historical statutory tax rate of 27.4%, which includes the federal rate of 21.0% and the state rate of 8.2%, adjusted for the federal benefit, in effect for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. This blended statutory tax rate has remained consistent over the periods presented, and does not consider the impact of any valuation allowance.

 

(c)Reflects the adjustment to record the fees the purchaser of the GlassRatner disposal group is obligated to pay the Company for providing certain management and corporate services during the six months following the disposition of the GlassRatner disposal group, as outlined in the Transition Services Agreement. Accordingly, a pro forma adjustment has been recorded to other income for the estimated amount the Company expects to earn for these services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.
