B. Riley Financial Reports Preliminary Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results; Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.50 per share

 

LOS ANGELES, February 29, 2024 – B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: RILY) (“B. Riley” or the “Company”), a diversified financial services platform, today released preliminary unaudited financial results for the three and twelve-month periods ending December 31, 2023. These financial results are subject to completion of the ongoing audit of the Company’s annual financial statements.

 

Financial Highlights – Preliminary Unaudited

 

Fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023:

 

Total revenues were $347 million compared to $382 million for the fourth quarter of 2022

 

Net loss available to common shareholders was $70 million, or $2.32 diluted loss per share

 

Operating revenues(2) of $395 million compared to $449 million in the prior year quarter

 

Operating adjusted EBITDA(3) of $79 million compared to $110 million in the prior year quarter

 

Full year ended December 31, 2023:

 

Total revenues increased 52% to $1.65 billion in 2023, up from $1.08 billion in 2022

 

Net loss of $86 million for the full year driven primarily by non-cash impairment charge of $71 million

 

Operating revenues (2) increased 25% to $1.63 billion in 2023, up from $1.31 billion in 2022

 

Operating adjusted EBITDA (3) of $368 million compared to $394 million in the prior year

 

Total adjusted EBITDA(1) increased to $240 million in 2023, up from $32 million in 2022

 

Bryant Riley, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of B. Riley Financial, commented: “Since our founding as a fundamental stock research firm over 27 years ago, we have invested opportunistically to build our platform and to enable our clients’ success. This has been our stated strategy from the beginning – and with tailwinds in small caps, we believe B. Riley is poised to gain market share. This is our core business, and where we will continue to invest. We have reduced our dividend by 50 percent to focus on the many opportunities we have to invest in our own business, including potentially repurchasing our debt at attractive prices. As we look ahead, our focus remains on charting the best path forward for our business, employees, and shareholders.”

 

Tom Kelleher, Co-Chief Executive Officer of B. Riley Financial, added: “2023 saw notable progress across the majority of our subsidiaries. Non-cash investment losses and an impairment charge masked what was otherwise a strong year for our core businesses. During 2023, financial consulting revenues and operating income grew 36% and 86%, respectively; segment income from our communications portfolio increased by 15%; and our wealth management business returned to profitability. Over the last 10 years, we have diversified our company by investing in and acquiring businesses that can benefit from and grow on our platform. On balance, each of our core financial services businesses have performed better than prior to our acquisition and involvement in these businesses. Our team continues to demonstrate complete focus and dedication, and this is truly what has been paramount to both our and our clients’ collective success.”

 

Declaration of Common Dividend

 

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per common share which will be payable on or about March 22, 2024 to common shareholders of record as of March 11, 2024.

Notice of Late Filing

 

The Company will file a Form 12b-25 with the SEC to provide notice of the late filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company notes that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 by February 29, 2024, the required filing date, due to delays experienced in finalizing the Company’s financial statements. This delay resulted from the dedication of time and resources expended by the Company related to the review by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of outside counsel, of the Company’s transactions with Brian Kahn. The Company is compiling the required information to complete its Annual Report and it does not anticipate any significant changes to the financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 as disclosed.

 

Review of Strategic Alternatives

 

The Company announced separately today that it has retained Moelis & Company as an independent financial advisor to commence a review of strategic alternatives for the appraisal and asset disposition businesses, collectively formerly known as Great American Group. There is no guarantee any potential transaction will result from this strategic review.

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023

 

Total revenues were $347 million compared to $382 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

Net loss attributable to common shareholders of $70 million, or $2.32 diluted loss per share, was primarily due to non-cash goodwill and tradename impairment charges of $34 million related to Targus, and unrealized investment losses.

 

Operating revenues(2) were $395 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $449 million in the prior year quarter.

 

Operating adjusted EBITDA (3) of $79 million compared to $110 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

For the full year ended December 31, 2023

 

Total revenues increased 52% to $1.65 billion, up from $1.08 billion in 2022.

 

Net loss of $86 million for 2023 primarily related non-cash goodwill and tradename impairment charges of $71 million related to Targus, and unrealized investment losses.

 

Operating revenues (2) increased 25% to $1.63 billion in 2023, up from $1.31 billion in 2022.

 

Operating adjusted EBITDA (3) decreased to $368 million in 2023 compared to $394 million in 2022.

 

Total adjusted EBITDA(1) increased to $240 million in 2023, up from $32 million in 2022.

 

Investment gains and losses(4) include realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments, whether realized from dispositions or unrealized due to changes in mark-to-market prices. These investment gains and losses have caused, and will continue to cause, volatility in our periodic earnings. For this reason, the Company generally discusses its financial performance in the context of operating revenues(2) and operating adjusted EBITDA(3) which may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. During the fourth quarter, the Company recast its operating metrics to include revenues from fixed income trading. This adjustment is reflected in the reconciliation for operating revenues and operating adjusted EBITDA.

Segment Highlights

 

Capital Markets segment revenues increased 75% to $575 million in 2023, up from $328 million in 2022. Segment income increased 143% to $198 million in 2023, up from $82 million in 2022. Excluding investment gains and losses,(4) segment operating revenues(2) increased to $562 million, up from $557 million in 2022 primarily driven by investment banking and institutional brokerage activities at B. Riley Securities. Despite relatively subdued equity capital markets activity during the quarter, investment banking benefitted from an uptick in M&A and recently gained significant market share in debt capital markets. Sales and trading demonstrated sequential improvement, supported by increased contribution from fixed income trading. Investment banking restructuring has continued to see an uptick in activity.

 

Wealth Management returned to profitability in 2023 following the operational realignment of this business throughout 2021 and 2022. Segment revenues were $198 million in 2023. For the fourth quarter, revenues and fee-based assets increased year-over-year, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Assets under management totaled $25.4 billion at December 31, 2023.

 

Auction and Liquidation revenues increased 39% to $103 million in 2023, up from $74 million in 2022 driven by a significant uptick in retail liquidation activity in the U.S. and Canada during 2023, and continued levels of retail liquidation activity in Europe. Segment income increased 70% to $21 million, up from $13 million in the prior year. Results for this segment vary quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year due to the episodic impact of large retail liquidation engagements.

 

Financial Consulting maintained strong steady growth throughout 2023. Segment revenues increased 36% to $134 million in 2023, up from $99 million in 2022 primarily driven by an increase of bankruptcy and litigation consulting assignments and appraisal engagements, and real estate restructuring projects. Segment income increased 86% to $30 million, up from $16 million in the prior year. The fourth quarter saw another record revenue period for our consulting division, along with increased revenues from the appraisal division.

 

Communications segment revenues increased 43% to $338 million in 2023, up from $236 million primarily due to acquisitions completed during late 2022. On a combined basis, segment income from communications businesses increased 15% to $35 million in 2023 from $30 million in the prior year.

 

Consumer Products segment revenues include the sale of goods from Targus, which was impacted by continued softness in the global PC and tablet marketplace throughout 2023. This resulted in non-cash goodwill and tradename impairment charges of approximately $71 million in 2023. As global sales improve, the Company believes Targus is well positioned to gain market share as the worldwide leader in its category.

 

Dividend income related to securities owned and our Brand investments increased 33% to $48 million in 2023, up from $36 million in 2022.

Realignment of Segment Reporting

 

The Company re-aligned its segment reporting during the fourth quarter of 2023. These changes resulted in Targus’s operations being reported on a standalone basis in the Consumer Products segment and the operations related to brand licensing that was previously reported in the Consumer segment being reported in the All Other Category that is reported with Corporate and Other. The Company has recast the financial data for the Consumer Products segment and reporting of the All Other Category for all periods presented.

 

Balance Sheet Summary

 

At December 31, 2023, cash and investments(6) totaled $1.90 billion, including $232 million of cash and cash equivalents; $1.11 billion in net securities and other investments owned, at fair value; and $532 million of loans receivable. Total debt, net of cash and investments,(6) was $457 million at quarter-end. Total debt was $2.36 billion as of December 31, 2023.

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.
