Over the last few months, RILY reported strong results, including Q1 2026 net income of $211.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $262.2 million, yet the stock fell 5.87% the next day.

AI-generated analysis. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

The value of the Company's carried interest will fluctuate based upon SpaceX's share price. Each
The amounts above are preliminary, unaudited management estimates, and are presented for informational purposes only. The value of the Company's carried interest and the amount and timing of any net proceeds actually realized will depend on, among other things, the trading price of SpaceX common stock when the SPVs sell or distribute their shares, the expiration of applicable lock-up and other transfer restrictions, the unaffiliated third-party manager's discretion on the timing of any sales by the SPVs, the timing of any distributions by the SPVs, transaction costs, taxes, and final determinations of expenses, adjustments, and amounts payable to other parties.
The trading price of SpaceX common stock following the IPO may be volatile and may decline below the IPO price, including while the SpaceX shares held by the SPVs remain subject to lock-up restrictions. Accordingly, the value ultimately realized may be materially less than the amounts above, and there can be no assurance that the Company will realize any particular amount of value or net proceeds, or any at all, in respect of its carried interest in the SPVs.
