LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: RILY), a diversified financial services company, today announced results for the three- and twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

  • Net income of $62.2 million, $2.08 diluted EPS
  • Total revenues of $422.1 million
  • Total adjusted EBITDA (1) of $138.0 million
  • Operating revenues (2) of $353.3 million
  • Operating adjusted EBITDA (3) of $106.1 million

Full Year 2021 Financial Highlights

  • Net income of $437.6 million, $15.09 diluted EPS
  • Total revenues of $1,740.6 million
  • Total adjusted EBITDA (1) of $762.5 million
  • Operating revenues (2) of $1,353.9 million
  • Operating adjusted EBITDA (3) of $422.0 million
  • Strengthened wealth management, asset management and M&A capabilities
  • Significantly lowered cost of debt
  • Declared dividends of $10.00 per common share for FY 2021

Bryant Riley, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of B. Riley Financial, said: "We are pleased to report another strong quarter and full year of results thanks to our talented and ambitious team.  By adding to our wealth management, asset management and M&A businesses through acquisition and hiring exceptional talent in all areas, we continue to provide unique capabilities to our clients and partners. In 2021, we strengthened our balance sheet and reduced our cost of capital, allowing us the flexibility to invest across the platform and return capital to shareholders with share buybacks and dividend payments.  Over the past four quarters, B. Riley has declared $10.00 in common dividends thanks to the strong cash flow of our episodic and recurring businesses."

Tom Kelleher, Co-Chief Executive Officer of B. Riley Financial, added: "Operating revenue for the full year 2021 increased 70% to $1.4 billion compared to $799 million for the full year 2020.  Our efforts to cross-sell throughout the platform is gaining traction and creating opportunities. Furthermore, we have continued to expand our platform as we recently welcomed the addition of FocalPoint Securities, which will enhance our firm's investment banking efforts, with a specific emphasis on M&A advisory and financial sponsors.  We also completed the purchase of a portfolio of loan receivables from Badcock Home Furniture which we believe will add an attractive and consistent income stream."

Mr. Riley continued: "Over the past couple of months capital markets have slowed significantly.  While we have been a large beneficiary of these markets, we also recognize the strength and differentiation of our business model if they are to continue to soften.  When we took the business public in 2014 our business was highly correlated to two cyclical businesses, brokerage and liquidation.  Since that time, we have taken aggressive steps to diversify the cash flow profile of our company by adding several non-correlated companies such as our communications, brands and financial consulting businesses in addition to our recent accounts receivables portfolio. In addition, the credit and current income portion of our investment portfolio provides approximately $85 million of interest and dividend income.  Combined, our non-cyclical businesses and assets provide enough cash flow to cover the vast majority of our annual operating expenses, interest and dividend.  Clearly, we expect strong profits from B. Riley Securities this year and every year. As a reminder, that business has generated a majority of our capital markets operating segment income in each of the last three years.  However, we believe our diversification is a competitive advantage and will enable us to invest when others may need to contract."

Declaration of Common Dividend

B. Riley has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $1.00 per common share which is payable on or about March 23 to common stockholders of record as of March 9. Including this $1.00 regular dividend, the Company will have paid $10.00 in common dividends to shareholders related to the FY 2021 period.

Share Repurchases

Under the prior share repurchase plan, effective as of October 27, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately 495,000 of its common shares for an aggregate amount of approximately $12.6 million through December 31, 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2021, B. Riley's Board of Directors approved a new annual share repurchase program for up to $50 million.

For the three months ended December 31, 2021:
Capital Markets segment revenues decreased 24% to $244.7 million for the fourth quarter. Excluding investment gains (4) of $67.7 million, segment operating revenues (2) decreased 2% year-over-year to $176.9 million, and segment operating income (7) decreased 14% to $87.2 million for the quarter. Performance was primarily driven by investment banking and fees generated from several significant debt and equity capital markets transactions completed during the quarter.

Wealth Management segment revenues and segment income increased to $104.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively, reflecting the addition of National Holdings which was acquired in February 2021. Combined wealth management assets under management were over $32 billion as of December 31, 2021.

Auction and Liquidation segment revenues totaled $5.7 million. Results for this segment vary from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year due to the episodic impact of large retail liquidation engagements.

Financial Consulting segment revenues increased to $27.9 million from $26.5 million in prior year period. Segment income decreased to $6.6 million, down from $6.9 million for the prior year period.

Principal Investments segment companies, magicJack, United Online, and Marconi Wireless, acquired during the quarter, continued to perform above expectations, contributing recurring cash flow to the Company.

Brands generated quarterly segment revenues of $5.0 million related to the licensing of brand trademarks.
