B. Riley Securities Provides Business and Financial Update Following Carve-Out Transaction
Andy Moore, Chairman and Co-CEO, B. Riley Securities, stated:'We remain relentlessly focused on delivering for our clients. With our previously announced carve-out from BRF, we are able to provide greater financial transparency and a clearer view into the underlying strength of our business. We are committed to providing our stakeholders with increased visibility into our strategy and vision for value creation. Although transactional activity has been tempered by macro uncertainty, volatility has often presented compelling opportunities for us to gain market share with differentiated, client-focused execution. As a trusted partner to middle market companies and those who invest in them, we take a long-term view in positioning BRS for sustainable growth and maximizing shareholder value.'
Jimmy Baker, Co-CEO & Head of Capital Markets at B. Riley Securities, commented:'We are proud of how our team navigated a challenging 2024. Over the course of last year, we raised $16.5 billion in debt and equity on behalf of our clients and expanded our capabilities in key areas including Convertibles and Liability Management. In addition, our advisory practice is now more closely aligned with our core clients' interests with a sharpened strategic focus on Capital Markets. We have also continued to invest in talent across Equity Research, Sales & Trading, and Investment Banking. It will take time for the full impact of our previously announced carve-out and the contribution of our new team members to materialize in our financial results. Our focus remains firmly on long-term value creation and making BRS a destination for top middle market talent while creating opportunities for growth and leadership within our firm.'
Adjusted Year 2024 Financial HighlightsOn an adjusted basis, BRS delivered total revenue of $217.7 million, adjusted net revenue of $211.0 million, a net loss of $14.5 million, and adjusted net income of $33.1 million.
The adjusted basis referred to gives effect to the March 2025 contributions of Cascadia Investments Inc. (OTCMKTS: CDIV) and other subsidiaries to BRS as part of the carve-out, as if those contributions had been completed on January 1, 2024. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their corresponding GAAP measures and additional disclosures, see 'Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures' and the tables below.
In January 2025, the Company repaid all $12.4 million of its outstanding debt.
Reflecting primarily the impact of pre-carve out distributions to BRF, losses pertaining to a legacy investment, cash use in connection with year-end compensation and repayment of debt as discussed above, BRS stands completely debt-free with $68 million in cash and securities owned as of the carve-out effective date.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresCertain information set forth herein, including adjusted net revenue and adjusted net income (loss), may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. B. Riley Securities believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the operating performance of the Company's business and its revenues and cash flow, (i) excluding in the case of adjusted net revenue, trading gains (losses) on legacy investment positions (net of 'regular way' fixed income trading revenue) and fair value adjustments on loans, and including Securities Lending interest expense and (ii) excluding in the case of adjusted net income, fair value adjustments, stock-based compensation, trading gains (losses) on legacy investment positions (net of 'regular way' fixed income trading revenue), fair value adjustments on loans and other investment-related expenses, and including the estimated related tax expense or benefit on the aforementioned adjustments, that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ('GAAP'). 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.

Safeguard against fake participation in oil and gas: Non-Sabahan companies using drivers, cleaners as equity holders
Published on: Monday, July 14, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jul 14, 2025 Text Size: Masidi pointed out the need for strong safeguard against fake participation saying: 'The reason why local partners must hold at least 30 per cent is because we do not want non-Sabahan companies using their drivers or general cleaners as a 10 per cent or 15 per cent equity holder. I know many do this. That is over now. We need serious, genuine local participation.' Kota Kinabalu: Dayak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) President Datuk Allan Keripin Nangkai said Sarawak's century-long experience in oil and gas will be useful when partnering with Sabah companies. 'We have been in oil and gas for more than 100 years. Some of our companies are well established. We want to team up with Sabahan companies to share our experience and help them grow,' he said during the forum's question and answer session. He said this at the recent Kadazandusun Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) – Dayak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) Oil and Gas Business Opportunities Forum at the ITCC Grand Ballroom. When asked about using Sarawak's Petros licenses in Sabah, SMJ Energy Sdn Bhd's Oil and Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) and Corporate Executive Director Terry Biusing pointed out partnership while maintaining Sabah's streamlined approach. 'My advice is to work with Sabahan companies. Get them to apply for the license,' he said. He said Sabah deliberately chose not to create duplicate licensing systems, instead focusing on monitoring and transparency through existing Petronas frameworks. 'We do not want to create another unnecessary level of control. We want to work with Petronas,' Terry said, pointing out SMJ Energy's efficient, results-focused approach that delivers through policy changes rather than adding more bureaucracy. Meanwhile, Sabah Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun pointed out the need for strong safeguard against fake participation saying: 'The reason why local partners must hold at least 30 per cent is because we do not want non-Sabahan companies using their drivers or general cleaners as a 10 per cent or 15 per cent equity holder. I know many do this. That is over now. We need serious, genuine local participation.' The transformation of Sabah's oil and gas services sector reflects more than just economic success, it shows how smart government action, combined with industry collaboration and transparent processes, can create opportunities while maintaining the highest standards. Through SMJ Energy's leadership and the State Government's vision, Sabah has created a monitoring system that tracks not only revenue and contracts but also company capabilities across different work areas. The organisation keeps detailed profiles of the top 10 Sabahan companies in each major work category and monitors services being exported by local companies, showing their growing competitiveness beyond State borders. Regular performance reviews, compliance checking, tender reviews and pre-tender briefings ensure continuous improvement and fair processes. Terry said the establishment of the Sabah Local Content Council and Joint Task Force for Mandatory Partnerships provides ongoing governance and support for the sector's development. 'This systematic approach has created a model that can be copied by other regions, one that prioritises local empowerment, maintains international standards and delivers measurable results,' Terry said. As the sector continues to grow, with companies now exporting services beyond Sabah, the State is well-positioned to become not just Malaysia's energy hub, but a regional centre of excellence for oil and gas services. 'The opportunity is huge. We spend about RM7 billion annually on oil and gas in Sabah. That opportunity is there for Sabah,' he said. With continued focus on building capabilities, strategic partnerships and maintaining world-class standards, Sabah's oil and gas transformation stands as proof of what can be achieved when government vision meets industry expertise and local determination. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Has PMX's diplomatic miscalculations trigger Donald Trump's tariff hike?
IT wasn't supposed to go up. After months of diplomatic back-and-forth, the Madani government had hoped the US would roll back its steep 24% tariff on Malaysian exports that was first announced in April. Instead, Washington did the opposite by raising the tariff to 25%. For a country that lives and breathes exports – from semiconductors to palm oil – that extra blow is more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. It could mean billions in losses, potential layoffs and vanishing investor confidence. And this time, it feels personal. The tariff hike reads less like a routine trade measure but more like a geopolitical message: Malaysia is being punished. So what triggered this tariff spanking? Could it be that in Washington's eyes, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim misread the room? Cosying up to the wrong crowd Malaysia, once proud of its non-aligned posture, now looks like it's picking sides. And not the side the US is on. Anwar has been eager to position Malaysia within the BRICS orbit – a bloc made up of America's chief adversaries: China, Russia, Iran and others. He has visited Russia not once but twice. He even invited Russian president Vladimir Putin to the ASEAN Summit despite the international arrest warrant hanging over the Russian leader for war crimes in Ukraine. Anwar has also been warming up to Chinese President Xi Jinping. Bilateral visits, public praise and talk of deeper integration have raised eyebrows in Washington. Add to that of Anwar's vocal push for de-dollarisation and his hardline pro-Palestine stance, one gets a foreign policy that looks increasingly anti-West. Whether Anwar sees it that way or not does not matter. Trump's team possibly does. Malaysia isn't 'neutral' anymore We used to walk a careful line. As a small nation and founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and part of the Third World Network, Malaysia knew how to stay friendly with everyone without provoking anyone. Now, under Anwar, we're shifting into risky territory. And the US has taken notice. The tariff hike is possibly a clear sign that Washington is re-calibrating its view of Malaysia – from trusted partner to potential strategic irritant. That's why countries like Vietnam were spared but Malaysia wasn't. And here's the kicker: regional leaders like Indonesia's Prabowo Subianto, Singapore's Lawrence Wong, the Philippines' Ferdinand Marcos Jr and even suspemded Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra have all had phone calls with Donald Trump. Anwar hasn't even managed a single call. High cost of power politics indulgence This isn't about ideology. It's about consequences. Every time Anwar plays geopolitical chess, it's everyday Malaysians who absorb the fallout. The fact is, exporters get squeezed by tariffs, factory workers risk retrenchment, prices rise as importers scramble to stay competitive and foreign investors hold back, unsure where we stand. This is the quiet damage of a foreign policy that wants to punch above its weight. At the end of the day, Malaysians are left to become pawns and collateral. Anwar may be trying to carve a reputation as a global leader coming in with guns blazing. But the bill is arriving at our doorstep. Even at the 24% tariff rate level, it's ordinary Malaysians who will be hit hard, let alone 25% or more. Because when a small country tries to act like a big power, it needs to remember one thing: the schoolyard bully punches back. And now, with that tariff gut-punch, the bully has just getting warmed up with everyday Malaysians bracing themselves to getting hit for the slightest of mis-step. – July 14, 2025 Main image credit: Bernama

Churches play vital role in fostering strong, caring society, says S'wak minister
Lee (fourth left) handing over a food basket to a recipient during the charity sales programme. MIRI (July 12): Religious institutions such as churches play a vital role in shaping society, not only by providing spiritual guidance but also by strengthening families, promoting moral values, and fostering unity, said Sarawak Transport Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin. Speaking at the Borneo Evangelical Mission (BEM) Morsjaya Charity Sale here today, Lee underscored the church's importance in cultivating a resilient and values-driven community – an effort that aligns closely with the state government's vision of holistic human development. 'The church does more than offer spiritual support. It contributes to family building, community cohesion, and the cultivation of ethics and values. 'These are the pillars of a strong and caring society,' said Lee, who is also Senadin assemblyman. The charity event was held to raise funds for a van recently acquired by the church to support its ministry and outreach activities. Commending the initiative, Lee described it as a noble effort that reflects the spirit of cooperation and empathy among the local community. He said the Sarawak government's Post Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030 (PCDS 2030) supports such community-driven efforts, as the state aspires to build not just an economically resilient society, but one that is also socially and morally grounded. Lee also highlighted the vital role of the Unit for Other Religions (Unifor) in supporting non-Islamic religious institutions across the state. He noted that RM110 million has been allocated under Unifor this year to assist with infrastructure upgrades and other support services for non-Muslim communities. 'Sarawak is the only state in Malaysia to consistently allocate significant annual funding to support religious diversity. This reflects our commitment to inclusion and mutual respect,' he said. On a related note, Lee pledged continued support for community initiatives and said his office had received several requests from the church, which he would carefully consider to determine how best to assist. He also voiced his support for the church's aspiration to establish a permanent facility that could double as a community activity centre, benefitting the wider public. 'This is not just about building infrastructure – it's about building stronger community ties,' he added. Lee also called on all Mirians to play their part in nurturing a caring and united society based on love, support, and mutual respect. During the event, he announced an allocation of RM5,000 for the church's activities, as well as RM10,000 to assist with financing the newly purchased van. The programme also saw the presentation of food baskets to senior members of the BEM congregation. Also present were BEM Miri chairman Pastor Loter Sakai; BEM Morsjaya pastors-in-charge Alan Lutu and Pastor Petrus Matias; and charity sales organising chairman Deacon Penghulu Randi Elon.
