ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS	ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS B. Riley Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) provide investment banking, brokerage, wealth management, asset management, direct lending, and business advisory services to a broad client base spanning public and private companies, financial sponsors, investors, financial institutions, legal and professional services firms, and individuals. The Company also has a portfolio of communication related businesses that provide consumer internet access and cloud communication services, Tiger US Holdings, Inc. (“Targus”), which designs and sells laptop and computer accessories, and E-Commerce, a technology platform provider that delivers Commerce-as-a-Service (“CaaS”) solutions for apparel brands and other retailers. The Company operates in five reportable operating segments: (i) Capital Markets, through which the Company provides investment banking, corporate finance, securities lending, restructuring, research, sales and trading services to corporate and institutional clients; (ii) Wealth Management, through which the Company provides wealth management and tax services to corporate and high-net-worth clients; (iii) Communications, through which the Company provides consumer Internet access and related subscription services, cloud communication services, and mobile phone voice, text, and data services and devices; (iv) Consumer Products, which generates revenue through sales of laptop and computer accessories; and (v) E-Commerce, which is a technology platform provider that delivers CaaS solutions for apparel brands and other retailers. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, management concluded that the Company’s previously reported Financial Consulting segment met the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations. The financial results of this business whose disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our operations and the financial results are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed statements of operations, and the assets and liabilities are reflected as amounts held for sale in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. Certain prior-year amounts have also been reclassified to conform to the current-year’s presentation as a result of discontinued operations. The Company's reporting segments have also been changed for the effects of the discontinued operations. For more information, see Note 3 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale. Recent Developments On October 31, 2024, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell a portion of the Company’s (W-2) Wealth Management business to Stifel Financial Corp. ("Stifel"). The sale was completed on April 4, 2025 for net cash consideration based on the 36 financial advisors that joined Stifel at closing. The Company determined that the assets and liabilities associated with the Wealth Management transaction met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, as discussed in Note 3 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale, and is included in Assets Held for Sale in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. On March 3, 2025, the Company and BR Financial Holdings, LLC ("BRFH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, B. Riley Environmental Holdings, LLC and other indirect subsidiaries of the Company which included Atlantic Coast Recycling, LLC (“Atlantic Coast Recycling”), Atlantic Coast Recycling of Ocean County, LLC, (“Atlantic Coast Recycling of Ocean County” and, together with Atlantic Coast Recycling, the “Atlantic Companies”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2025 (the “MIPA”), whereby all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in each of the Atlantic Companies (the “Interests”) owned by BRFH and the minority holders were sold to a third party for an agreed upon purchase price subject to certain adjustments and holdback amount pending receipt of a certain third party consent. Net cash proceeds received as a result of the sale were net of adjustments for amounts allocated to non-controlling interests, repayment of contingent consideration, transaction costs and other items directly attributable to the closing of the transaction. The Company recognized a gain of $52,430 in connection with the sale, which is included in the "Gain on sale and deconsolidation of businesses" line item on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company determined that the assets and liabilities associated with the Atlantic Coast Recycling transaction met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, as discussed in Note 3 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale, and were properly classified in the audited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. 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 (“GlassRatner”), and B. Riley Farber Advisory Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Farber”). The aggregate cash consideration paid by the buyers for the interests of GlassRatner and shares of Farber was $117,800, which is based on a target closing working capital amount that is subject to adjustment within 180-days following the sale date. Upon closing the transaction, the Company recognized a gain of $66,795 in the second quarter of 2025. The Company also entered into a transition services agreement with the buyer to provide certain services. Management concluded that the sale of the GlassRatner business represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations in 2025 and met the criteria for discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations in the periods presented as more fully described in Note 3 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale. On November 11, 2025, the Company announced that it will change its name to BRC Group Holdings, Inc., effective on January 1, 2026. Liquidity For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated a net loss of $(9,975). During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the Company’s majority owned subsidiary Atlantic Coast Recycling, LLC on March 3, 2025 for proceeds of approximately $68,638. The Company also completed (a) the sale of part of Wealth Management business for $26,037 (the “Wealth Transaction”) on April 4, 2025 as more fully described in Note 3; and (b) the sale of the Company’s financial consulting business on June 27, 2025 for $117,800 as more fully described above. As discussed in more detail in Note 11 - Senior Notes Payable, from April 7, 2025 to July 11, 2025, the Company completed four private exchange transactions with institutional investors pursuant to which aggregate principal amounts of approximately $29,535 of the 5.50% Senior Notes due March 2026, $2,061 of the 6.50% Senior Notes Payable due September 2026, $109,703 of the 5.00% Senior Notes due December 2026, $51,135 of the 6.00% Senior Notes due January 2028, and $39,485 of the 5.25% Senior Notes due August 2028 (collectively, the “Exchanged Notes”) owned by the investors were exchanged for approximately $140,670 aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2028 (the "New Notes"), whereupon the Exchanged Notes were cancelled. After the completion of the Exchanged Notes described above, the Company has approximately $101,596 of 5.50% Senior Notes due March 2026 and $178,471 of 6.50% Senior Notes due September 2026 as more fully described in Note 11 - Senior Notes Payable. The Company believes that the current cash and cash equivalents, securities and other investments owned, funds available under our credit facilities, cash expected to be generated from operating activities and proceeds received from the Wealth Management Transaction and the sale of the Company’s GlassRatner and Farber financial consulting business will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from issuance date of the accompanying financial statements. Nasdaq Compliance On October 1, 2025, the Company received a Staff Determination Letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) based on the Company's non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filing Rule”), as previously notified by the Staff on April 3, 2025, May 21, 2025 and August 20, 2025. The basis for the Staff Determination Letter was that the Company had not yet filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 (the “Q2 Delayed Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) on September 19, 2025 and is actively working towards the filing of the Q2 Delayed Report and the timely filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025 to ensure full compliance with the Listing Rules. The Staff Determination Letter noted that, after the Staff’s review of the materials submitted by the Company on September 4, 2025 and September 19, 2025 (the “Updated Plan of Compliance”), it lacked the discretion within Nasdaq’s rules to grant the Company a further exception beyond the September 29, 2025 deadline that was previously granted to regain compliance with the Filing Rule. The Staff Determination Letter has no immediate effect and will not immediately result in the suspension of trading or delisting of the Company’s securities. The Staff Determination Letter notified the Company that it may request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Hearings Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. A request for a hearing regarding one or more delinquent filings will automatically stay the suspension of the Company’s securities for a period of at least 15 calendar days from the date of the hearing request. By Nasdaq rule, when a company requests a hearing for one or more late SEC periodic public filings, it must also request an extension of the stay through the hearing date and subsequently during any additional extension period granted by a Hearings Panel following the hearing. Hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request. The Company timely submitted a request for a hearing on October 8, 2025, including continued listing of its securities pending the hearing and the Hearings Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that the Hearings Panel will grant any of the Company’s requests for additional time. In the unlikely event that there is no ruling on the stay of a suspension prior to the expiration of the automatic stay, it has been Nasdaq’s practice to take no action until a Hearings Panel makes a ruling on the extended stay request. Once the Hearings Panel makes a ruling on the extended stay, the Company intends to make a public announcement. A hearing before the Hearings Panel was held on November 4, 2025. The Company anticipates receiving a determination from the Hearings Panel within 30 days following the date of the hearing. There can be no assurance that the Hearings Panel will grant our request for reconsideration, that any appeal will be successful with the Hearings Panel, or that we will be able to meet the continued listing requirements if we are permitted to continue trading on Nasdaq. Even if the Hearing Panel grants us additional time to file the Q2 Delayed Report and we meet all terms of any exception to the Nasdaq Filing Rule afforded by the Hearings Panel, there can be no assurance that we will be able to timely file the required reports or meet other continued listing requirements in the future.
