Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights

Bryant Riley, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of BRC, commented: "Our strong fourth quarter and full year 2025 preliminary financial estimates demonstrate the broad economic contribution produced by our diverse platform of operating companies and investment holdings.  The success achieved in 2025 is the result of executing a complex strategy focused on repositioning our balance sheet and operating platform in the first half of the year and delivering strong operating performance in the second half of the year, which has positioned us for 2026 and beyond. The groundwork laid last year also provides a path towards lowering operating costs, including elevated professional fees booked in 2025.
