BRC Group Holdings, Inc. (RILY)
🔔 Watch stock
symbol.quality_heading
We found at least one documented issue that threatens the company itself — regardless of how the stock is currently valued.
Four documented substance findings work together. First the balance sheet: $1,717.9m of liabilities against $136.3m of equity, of which $124.2m is claimed ahead of common shareholders by the preferred — arithmetically almost nothing remains for common holders. Second the maturities: roughly $337.3m of notes due within twelve months against $178.0m of cash and $38.1m of quarterly cash flow. Third the quality of earnings: 41 percent of revenue is trading gains, roughly $250m of paper gains carry a quarterly profit of $222.2m, and equity turned positive not through earning but through swapping notes into shares at 21 percent dilution in four months. Fourth the audit verdict: internal control over financial reporting was expressly found ineffective as of December 31, 2025, with acknowledged material weaknesses and a preceding filing backlog of several months. Any one of these four layers would be survivable; together they describe substance risk. The scanner hook itself was not used to justify red — that the 1.2 rests on a wrong figure is a data error, not a finding about the company.
symbol.quality_note
The company still trading as RILY now files with the U.S. securities regulator as BRC Group Holdings. It sits at rank 22 in our in-house stock scanner because of a number that appears in none of its filings. And its auditor signed off on the accounts while expressly finding internal control on the same date to be ineffective. We separate the two — and look at what the business underneath actually earned.

Quarterly Figures
| Quarter | EPS (Earnings Per Share) | EPS YoY (%) | Sales ($M) | Sales YoY (%) | Net Margin (%) | OCF ($M) | FCF ($M) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024: Q4 | -7.08 | – | 247 | -28.00 | -115.20 | 20 | 18 |
| 2025: Q1 | -0.25 | – | 194 | -43.40 | -5.10 | 0 | -7 |
| 2025: Q2 | 0.07 | – | 268 | -1.10 | 1.10 | -3 | -4 |
| 2025: Q3 | 1.81 | – | 235 | -4.90 | 31.00 | -26 | -28 |

| 2026: Q1 | 5.31 | – | 451 | 132.10 | 47.30 | 224 | 223 |
- EPS (Earnings Per Share):
- Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
- YoY (Year over Year):
- Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
- Sales:
- All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
- Net Margin:
- What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
- OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
- The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
- FCF (Free Cash Flow):
- Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.
Assessment: Opportunities & Risks
The displayed price-to-free-cash-flow ratio of 1.2 rests on operating cash flow of $224.1m for the first quarter of 2026. The quarterly report states $38.1m — in the cash flow statement and in the management discussion; the cash reconciliation supports it. Recalculated the ratio is about 8.9, making rank 22 of the U.S. selection an artifact (measured July 27, 2026).
BDO USA issued a clean opinion on the 2025 financial statements but found internal control over financial reporting ineffective as of December 31, 2025; the company acknowledges material weaknesses. The critical audit matter is the accounting for the new senior notes and related warrants from five exchange transactions.
41 percent of quarterly revenue is trading gains ($145.1m of $352.1m; prior year −$16.2m). Together with $105.1m of investment gains, roughly $250m of paper gains carry quarterly net income of $222.2m — against $38.1m of actual cash flow.
Liabilities of $1,717.9m against equity of $136.3m — roughly $12.60 of debt per dollar of equity. In the twelve months after March 31, 2026 about $337.3m of notes come due, against $178.0m of cash.
The filing backlog is over: 2025 annual report on March 31, 2026 and the quarterly report on May 7, 2026. Senior notes fell within one quarter from $1,301.8m to $1,171.5m and equity swung from −$171.5m to +$77.3m — though through conversion into shares, at roughly 21 percent more common shares in four months.
BRC Group Holdings — still trading as RILY — sits at rank 22 on our list because a data-set figure contradicts the company's own quarterly report: $224.1m against $38.1m of cash flow. Recalculated, the stock is not cheap but ordinarily valued. Underneath sits a heavily indebted investment bank whose quarterly profit consists of valuation moves well beyond 100 percent, whose equity turned positive through debt-for-equity exchanges, and whose internal control the auditor found ineffective. Not investment advice.
- Hook: in-house stock scanner, price-to-free-cash-flow ranking, U.S. selection (545 hits), rank 22 at a displayed value of 1.2 — measured July 27, 2026, identically on both brands. The lists are recalculated daily.
- Market capitalization is calculated from the share count on the quarterly report cover page (37,130,592 shares as of May 5, 2026) rather than taken from the data set, which carries 40.19 million shares. Preferred shares are excluded.
- No Altman Z as a solvency verdict: the formula is built for industrial companies and says nothing meaningful about an investment bank with a trading book and a $550.0m accumulated deficit. Our data set carries 3.92; the value is deliberately not used.
- Risk of confusion: BRC Group Holdings, Inc. previously filed as B. Riley Financial, Inc. and before that as Great American Group, Inc. Alongside the common stock RILY, several preferred and note series are listed (RILYG, RILYL, RILYN, RILYP, RILYT, RILYZ); they are not part of the common market capitalization.
