Binah Capital Group Revenue Rises as Wealth Platform Scales
By Rayk Riechmann Binah Capital Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: BCG) reported an in-line quarter of top-line growth, driven by a surge in its assets under management (AUM). BCG's revenue grew by 2%, backed by increased profitability as gross margins reached a multi-year high of 21%. A major highlight is an 11% increase in AUM that shows an impressive ability to scale BCG's business model. By recruiting and retaining high-performing financial advisors from traditional wirehouses, regionals, and IBDs, BCG should capture a greater client wallet share over time. Turning to valuation, BCG trades at a 65% discount to its own trailing price-to-sales multiple and a 90% discount to a basket of peers, suggesting a significant rerating may be on the horizon. Precedent transactions similarly suggest upside potential with a average AUM multiple of 0.79%. Applying this to BCG's AUM of $27.8 billion, we see a potential valuation of $219 million or $13.20/share — far above the current share price of $2.10/share. Check out the full earnings report below.

For more, please visit: Contact: Binah Capital Investor Relations ir@ Binah Capital Public Relations media@ 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. Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that are intended to be subject to the "safe harbor" created by those sections and other applicable laws.

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. The factors that could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to comply with supervisory and regulatory compliance obligations, the risk we may be held liable for misconduct by our advisors; poor performance of our investment products and services; our ability to effectively maintain and enhance our brand and reputation; our ability to expand and retain our customer base; our future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash; the risk that an increase in government regulation of the industries and markets in which we operate could negatively impact our business; the impact of worldwide and regional political, military or economic conditions, including declines in foreign currencies in relation to the value of the U.S. dollar, hyperinflation, devaluation and significant political or civil disturbances in international markets; and the effectiveness of Binah's control environment, including the identification of control deficiencies. These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors, forward-looking statements and challenges and uncertainties set forth in documents filed by Binah with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and subsequent periodic reports.

Profit from the Wealth Management Revolution with Binah Capital Group – Exec Edge Research Initiation Report
Download the Complete Report Here The wealth management world is undergoing a revolution. One likely victor for investors to consider is recently-listed Binah Capital Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: BCG), whose tech has what it takes to help financial advisors thrive in a new era. As an emerging wealth management platform, BCG stands out as a one-stop-shop for wealth managers with a specialized advisor-centric approach that enables long-term growth and market share gains. BCG was officially formed as a new public company in 2024 following a strategic SPAC merger. Today, over 1900 registered wealth management professionals across ten entities have been consolidated into a national footprint. The group owns and operates a diverse set of portfolio companies including four broker-dealers, three registered investment advisors (RIAs), and three insurance service providers. Through its portfolio companies and clearing relationships with major third-party providers, BCG offers a multitude of support services for independent and hybrid wealth managers while also serving client needs directly through in-house W2 wealth specialists. The W2 model provides a full-service employment framework for advisors who prefer an institutional, structured environment with centralized support. The wealth management market faces significant structural changes with the advisor workforce expected to decline going forward by 0.2% annually and the number of advised client relationships potentially climbing between 28%-34% by 2034, according to McKinsey. That supply-demand mismatch should directly benefit BCG, which is strategically positioned to help advisors take on more clients at scale. BCG's capital-light, advisor-centric model helps professionals maintain their personal brand while structuring their practices based on personal and client preferences. This flexible architecture allows for effective advisor recruitment, an increase in advisor productivity and stickier client relationships, three main differentiators in the wealth management realm. With one-time expenses tied to the business combination and transition to a public company out of the way, we believe a margin recovery is in the cards. Various deals in 2025 point towards a significant industry appetite in the space with Robinhood Markets, Inc., Stifel Financial Corp. and LPL Financial Holdings Inc. announcing acquisitions. Considering these precedent transactions, BCG could be valued at at least $12.50 a share, versus its current price of about $2 a share. Indeed, the shares look neglected, trading near a 52-week low and a 90% discount to peers on a price-to-sales basis. As the wealth management industry is reshaping, BCG stands out as an opportunity for both wealth managers and their clients. Regular investors, too, should consider taking part in the revolution and stock up on BCG. Download the Complete Report Here Contact: Rayk@ — Sign in to access your portfolio
