Quarter 2020 Results

Year-to-Date Consolidated Revenues of $492.5 million and Net Income of $30.3 million

Regular Quarterly Cash Dividend Raised
to $0.375 per Common Share
Board of Directors Approves Additional Share Repurchase Program
LOS ANGELES, October 29, 2020 – B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:RILY) (“B. Riley” or the “Company”) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights
| · | GAAP consolidated revenues of $226.3 million |
| · | Net income available to common shareholders of $47.3 million, or $1.75 per diluted share |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA (1) of $94.1 million |
| · | Operating revenues (2) of $194.5 million and operating adjusted EBITDA (3) of $67.2 million |
“We delivered strong third quarter results across our business lines which generated net income of $47.3 million compared to $34.3 million last year and operating adjusted EBITDA growth of over 90%,” said Bryant Riley, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer. “Our capital markets group was the primary driver of growth this quarter, having realized impressive performance in all of its verticals. Our focus on helping small cap companies navigate financial markets with advisory, capital raising, and restructuring services is the ethos of our firm and this quarter confirmed that we provide vital services during periods of market turmoil like we have seen with COVID-19. As we continue to creatively gain market share in each of our segments within capital markets, we anticipate becoming the market leader within the small cap ecosystem. In addition to capital markets, we have continued to see strong performance out of our liquidation business given the unfortunate ramifications of COVID-19. Additionally, our valuation business, brand portfolio, and wholly owned subsidiaries within our principal investments business continue to generate steady cash flows and healthy returns on invested capital. Finally, we continue to view our balance sheet as a vital differentiator that sets us apart from the competition. We saw investment gains of $32 million in the quarter which marks a continued recovery from our first quarter losses. This understates the importance that our strong balance sheet and our net cash and investments have on driving growth and cash flow across our segments. We pride ourselves on being solution providers to companies in need and use our balance sheet as a tool to generate both fees and returns. When I look through our portfolio, I am as optimistic as I have ever been about its future performance and love our set up as we finish the remainder of the year. Year-to-date, we have delivered net income of $30.3 million and almost $185 million of operating adjusted EBITDA, up 90% over last year. In addition, we have a clear line of sight to delivering strong growth in the fourth quarter as well. Our strong performance and the confidence we have in our business strategy and future are the primary reasons for our increasing our regular quarterly dividend to $0.375.”
Mr. Riley added, “Since the formation of B. Riley Financial in 2014, our philosophy has been to provide a regular dividend enhanced by special dividends based on the strength of our episodic businesses. As our overall business has become increasingly diversified and recurring in nature, we feel a larger regular dividend annualized at $1.50 per share is more appropriate to reflect the underlying cash flow generating power of our business. To be clear, we will continue to consider special dividends when appropriate, and trust that a stable and growing regular dividend will be appreciated by our shareholders. In addition, we will continue to opportunistically repurchase shares as noted by our buyback authorization. Year-to-date, we repurchased approximately 1.7 million shares representing approximately 7% of our shares outstanding.”

Co-Chief Executive Officer Tom Kelleher added, “This past quarter we took concerted steps to position our platform to drive increased client and shareholder value by rebranding our operating companies and providing greater visibility into the breadth of our offerings. In addition, we launched our venture capital business which should strengthen our capabilities to identify, acquire and invest in attractive emerging growth companies and is a highly strategic addition to our already broad platform. Moving forward, we are confident in our strategy and our ability to drive continued growth.”

| · | Capital Markets segment revenues increased to $146.8 million compared to $134.1 million for the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased fees from advisory services, the addition of our real estate consulting business and an increase in income related to minority investments. |
| · | Auction and Liquidation performance was driven by a number of retail liquidations in the US and in Europe as our group further capitalized on the current challenging retail market conditions created by COVID-19. |
| · | Valuation and Appraisal results continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19 but overall business conditions and activity continue to show signs of recovery. |
| · | Principal Investments companies, United Online and magicJack, continued to deliver solid operating performance and cash flow generation despite the impact of COVID-19. |
As of September 30, 2020, cash and investments totaled $991.7 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $169.7 million. The Company’s investment balance included approximately $58.4 million of other equity investments reported in prepaid and other assets.
