Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly fall after Trump comments on weight loss drug pricing
B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:RILY), a $173 million market cap financial services firm currently showing weak profitability with a -73% gross margin according to InvestingPro data, reported two corporate developments in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday.
On October 8, B. Riley Financial and its wholly owned subsidiary, BR Financial Holdings, LLC, entered into an amendment to their existing credit agreement with Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC and other lenders. The amendment changes the terms related to the maturity date of the Initial Term Loans. Under the revised agreement, the “springing maturity date”—which is triggered 91 days prior to the maturity of certain outstanding debt exceeding $10 million—will not occur before March 31, 2027. This extends the earliest possible maturity date of the Initial Term Loans from July 1, 2026.
The original credit agreement was dated February 26, 2025, and had been previously amended on February 26, 2025, and July 8, 2025. The company stated that the description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the amendment, which was filed as an exhibit to the SEC report.
Separately, B. Riley Financial announced that on October 10, Michael Sheldon, a member of the company’s Board of Directors, informed the company that he will not seek re-election at the next annual meeting of stockholders. According to the filing, Mr. Sheldon has no disagreements with the company regarding its operations, policies, or practices.
This information is based on a press release statement included in the company’s SEC filing.
In other recent news, B. Riley Financial, Inc. announced it expects net income for the first half of 2025 to range between $125 million and $145 million, or $4.08 to $4.74 per diluted share. The company also reported a significant reduction in total debt, estimated to have decreased by $600 million to $1.46 billion as of June 30, 2025. Additionally, B. Riley Securities Holdings, a subsidiary, reported $60.9 million in total revenue and $12.5 million in GAAP net income for its first full quarter as an independent entity.
B. Riley Financial has appointed BDO USA, P.C. as its independent auditor for 2025, while it continues to work with Marcum LLP to complete its 2024 annual audit. The company recently received a Staff Determination Letter from Nasdaq due to non-compliance with filing requirements, specifically for not filing quarterly reports for March 31 and June 30, 2025. Despite filing its 2024 annual report on September 19, B. Riley missed the September 29 compliance deadline. The company is seeking a hearing to address this issue.
