Management Commentary
“B. Riley Securities delivered a highly profitable third quarter, building on our second quarter momentum, with significant client engagement across both our investment banking and institutional brokerage businesses,” said Jimmy Baker, Co-CEO and Head of Capital Markets. “Robust deal activity, including both equity and debt financings totaling approximately $10.5 billion in capital raised for clients, contributed to our strong performance this quarter, as well as disciplined use of our balance sheet in support of client objectives. Our research-led platform, strong balance sheet, and execution focus have continued to fuel success across our core franchise. While the market backdrop remains accommodating for accessing growth capital, we recognize that our markets can change quickly and have prioritized risk management accordingly while remaining focused on advising our clients through such an environment. In parallel, we have maintained a disciplined approach to recruiting new teammates, strategically expanding our team and adding talented professionals who strengthen our platform.”
“Our recent Consumer & TMT and CLO & BDC Conferences generated strong issuer participation and related institutional interest, reinforcing our leadership position as a market connector,” said Andy Moore, Chairman and Co-CEO. “Our mission remains providing platform for an expression of views across this community. Our upcoming Convergence Conference, which focuses on the impact of AI and blockchain on the energy complex, reflects an ongoing commitment to delivering relevant high-quality engagement for our partners.”

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) and fair value adjustments on loans on legacy investment positions (net of “regular way” fixed income trading revenue), 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) and fair value adjustments on loans on legacy investment positions (net of certain related non-controlling interest and investment-related expense adjustments and “regular way” fixed income trading revenue), 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.
