LOS ANGELES - B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:RILY), a financial services firm with a market capitalization of $179.3 million, announced Monday it has received a Staff Determination Letter from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications due to non-compliance with filing requirements. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company currently maintains a ’Fair’ financial health score, though it faces operational challenges.
The notice, received October 1, stems from the company’s failure to file its quarterly reports for the periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2025. Despite filing its 2024 annual report on September 19, B. Riley has not met the September 29 compliance deadline previously granted by Nasdaq. The company’s financial position shows some strain, with revenue declining by 45% in the last twelve months, though it maintains a healthy current ratio of 3.19, indicating strong short-term liquidity.
The determination letter does not immediately affect trading of the company’s securities. B. Riley plans to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which will automatically stay any suspension for at least 15 calendar days from the hearing request.
The company intends to seek continued listing of its securities pending both the hearing and the panel’s decision. Hearings typically occur 30-45 days after the request is submitted.
B. Riley stated it is "actively working towards the filing of the Delayed Reports to ensure full compliance with the Listing Rules," according to the press release. However, there is no guarantee the Hearings Panel will grant additional time for compliance.
The financial services firm, which provides investment banking, brokerage, wealth management, and corporate restructuring services, first received notifications about its non-compliance in April, May, and August of this year. Despite these challenges, InvestingPro data shows the stock has demonstrated strong resilience, posting a 79% return over the past six months. For deeper insights into B. Riley’s financial health and future prospects, investors can access comprehensive analysis through InvestingPro’s detailed research reports, available for over 1,400 US stocks.
