Exhibit 99.1

Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Earnings


New York, July 26, 2024 – Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. (NYSE: OPY) (the "Company" or "Firm") today reported net income of $10.3 million or $0.99 basic earnings per share for the second quarter of 2024, compared with a net loss of $(9.4) million or $(0.85) basic earnings per share for the second quarter of 2023. Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $330.6 million, an increase of 8.0%, compared to revenue of $306.2 million for the second quarter of 2023.

Albert G. Lowenthal, Chairman and CEO commented, "The Firm was profitable for the second quarter during a mostly favorable business environment. During the quarter, continued investor interest in artificial intelligence ("AI") stocks allowed all major indices to reach fresh records, despite continuing concerns about high interest rates and weakening employment data. Strong equity markets provided a backdrop for greater retail trading activity and drove our AUM to yet another new record, benefiting both our transaction driven revenues and AUM-based advisory fees.

The elevated interest rate environment resulted in improved interest revenue though the high interest rates also contributed to a significant decline in our FDIC sweep balances and related fees as clients sought higher returns elsewhere. The environment was also less favorable for our investment banking business, which saw less capital market activity when compared to the first quarter.

While we are somewhat disappointed in our earnings for the quarter, they were particularly impacted by the lack of follow through in underwriting revenue after a strong first quarter. We continue to believe that our investment in senior personnel will pay off in future quarters as those markets strongly re-open. Results from the Wealth Management business continue to be strong amidst the background of a very strong equity market.

The Company ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet and record book value per share levels. We remain focused on both attracting new financial advisors and retaining existing advisors while concurrently attracting qualified professionals to our investment banking platform and building our Equity and Fixed Income groups in order to position us well for growth as we move into the second half of 2024."

Highlights

Increased revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by significantly higher advisory fees attributable to a rise in billable assets under management ("AUM") as well as improved investment banking and interest revenues
Assets under administration and under management were both at record levels at June 30, 2024, benefiting from market appreciation and positive net asset flows
Compensation expenses increased from the prior year quarter largely as a result of higher incentive compensation expenses, share-based compensation costs and production-related expenses
Non-compensation expenses decreased from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower legal costs partially offset by higher interest expense
Book value and tangible book value per share reached new record highs as a result of positive earnings
1




Private Client
Private Client reported revenue for the current quarter of $208.7 million, 3.7% higher compared with a year ago mostly due to higher advisory fees driven by appreciation in AUM and an increase in commission revenue. Pre-tax income of $55.5 million in the current quarter resulted in a pre-tax margin of 26.6%. Financial advisor headcount at the end of the current quarter was 934 compared to 964 at the end of the second quarter of 2023.

Revenue:
Retail commissions increased 16.5% from a year ago primarily due to higher retail trading activity
Advisory fees increased 15.4% due to higher AUM during the billing period for the current quarter when compared to the second quarter of last year
Bank deposit sweep income decreased $9.2 million from a year ago due to lower cash sweep balances
Interest revenue decreased modestly from the prior year period due to lower stock borrow income
Other revenue decreased from a year ago primarily due to smaller movements in the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance policies, which fluctuates based on changes in the fair value of the policies' underlying investments
Total Expenses:
Compensation expenses increased 18.0% from a year ago primarily due to higher production related and share-based compensation expenses
Non-compensation expenses decreased 55.8% from a year ago primarily due to lower legal costs

Revenue:
Advisory fee revenue increased 18.2% from a year ago due to increased management fees resulting from the higher net value of billable AUM during the current quarter
Assets under Management (AUM):
AUM increased to $47.5 billion at June 30, 2024, a new record high, which is the basis for advisory fee billings for July 2024
The increase in AUM was comprised of higher asset values of $6.1 billion on existing client holdings and a net contribution of $0.2 billion in new client assets
Total Expenses:
Compensation expenses were down 2.6% from a year ago primarily resulting from decreases in incentive compensation
Non-compensation expenses were up 17.4% when compared to the prior year period mostly due to higher external portfolio management costs which are directly related to the increase in AUM

Compensation expense as a percentage of revenue was higher at 66.8% during the current period versus 61.1% during the same period last year due to opportunistic new hires and increased share based compensation costs
The effective tax rate for the current period was 35.3% compared with 18.2% for the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was negatively impacted by permanent items and non-deductible losses in non-U.S. businesses.
