(“Binah”, “Binah Capital” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BCG; BCGWW), a leading financial services enterprise that owns and operates a network of industry-leading firms empowering independent financial advisors, today announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"We once again delivered strong results, which is a continued testament to our differentiated RIA platform,” stated Craig Gould, Chief Executive Officer of Binah Capital Group. “Highlighting our business model's sustained momentum and the effective execution of our growth initiatives, we achieved double-digit year-over-year growth in both revenue and EBITDA while delivering GAAP profitability in the first quarter. Subsequent to quarter-end, we were pleased to welcome Bleakley Financial Group to the Binah family, underscoring the strength of our open-architecture platform and the confidence that leading entrepreneurial firms place in Binah. Additionally, we further expanded and strengthened our executive leadership with the appointment of Ryan Marcus as our Chief Business Development and Engagement Officer. Looking ahead, we believe our resilient and differentiated platform leaves us well-positioned to navigate the dynamic macro environment and drive long-term shareholder value.”

First Quarter 2025 Key Highlights

• Total advisory and brokerage assets in the first quarter grew 3% year-over-year to $26 billion.

• Total revenue increased 18% year-over-year to $49 million.

• Gross profit of $8.6 million, compared to $7.8 million in the prior-year period.

• Total operating expenses were $7 million, compared to $10 million in the prior-year period. The change in operating expenses was primarily due to costs incurred in the prior-year period related to the consummation of the business combination but did not occur in the first quarter of 2025.

• GAAP net income of $1 million, compared to GAAP net loss of $(1.6) million in the prior-year period.

• EBITDA^* increased to $2.2 million, compared to an EBITDA of $(0.0) in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher revenue growth and lower expenses, as the first quarter 2025 did not include the business combination related costs that occurred in the prior-year period.

Liquidity and Capital

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9 million and outstanding long-term debt of $25 million as of March 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, defined as net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation expense, amortization, interest expense and income tax. The Company presents EBITDA because management believes that it can be a useful financial metric in understanding the Company’s earnings from operations. EBITDA is not a measure of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP or liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of EBITDA are that it excludes certain expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, EBITDA is subject to inherent limitations as these metrics reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses are excluded or included in determining EBITDA. A reconciliation of EBITDA to Net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below.

While Binah believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors that could impact the future performance or results of its business.
