Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. reported that Class B stockholders approved all five proposals at the 2026 annual meeting, including electing nine directors, ratifying Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditor, endorsing executive pay, selecting a three‑year say‑on‑pay frequency, and adopting an amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
The company highlighted record 2025 results, with revenue of $1.64 billion, net income of $148.4 million and basic EPS of $14.13, driven by strong wealth management and investment banking performance. For Q1 2026, revenue rose to $445.1 million but Oppenheimer recorded a net loss of $20.6 million and basic EPS of $(1.93), largely reflecting a $70 million accrual for settlement of “cash sweep” class action litigation and a $22.3 million stock appreciation rights expense. On an adjusted non‑GAAP basis, Q1 2026 diluted EPS was $4.21, and the board increased the quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share.

Insights
Record 2025 results contrast with a litigation-driven Q1 2026 loss.
Oppenheimer delivered record 2025 revenue of $1.64 billion, up 14.4%, and net income of $148.4 million, more than doubling the prior year. Growth was broad-based, with commissions up 13.4%, advisory fees up 14.9%, and investment banking revenue up 51.0%.
In Q1 2026, revenue increased 21.0% year over year to $445.1 million, but a net loss of $20.6 million stemmed from a $70 million class-action "cash sweep" settlement accrual and $22.3 million of stock appreciation rights expense. Adjusted diluted EPS of $4.21 shows underlying operations remained profitable despite these charges.
The balance sheet stayed solid with stockholders’ equity of $952.4 million as of March 31, 2026, and regulatory net capital of $437.2 million. The dividend increase to $0.20 per share and strong advisory and investment banking trends indicate management’s confidence, while future filings will show how litigation costs and market conditions affect subsequent quarters.

Key Terms

6 terms
Class B voting common stock financial
"there were 99,665 shares of Class B voting common stock, par value $0.001 per share"
bank deposit sweep income financial
"Bank deposit sweep income 114,811 138,770 (17.3)%"
Income from a bank deposit sweep is the small amount of interest a business or investor earns when idle cash is automatically moved each night into an interest-bearing account or short-term investment. Think of it like a smart piggy bank that funnels spare change into a savings jar that pays a little interest; it matters because it boosts cash returns, improves short-term liquidity management, and can slightly change reported earnings or cash flow for investors watching yields.
FDIC-Insured Bank Deposit Program financial
"FDIC-Insured Bank Deposit program had a balance of $3.0 billion at 3/31/26"
stock appreciation rights financial
"expense associated with the mark-to-market remeasurement of liability-based stock appreciation rights"
Stock appreciation rights (SARs) are a form of employee compensation that give the holder the right to receive the increase in a company's stock price over a set baseline, paid in cash or shares, without having to buy the stock. For investors, SARs matter because they can create future cash outflows or share dilution and signal how a company rewards and motivates executives — similar to giving a bonus tied directly to how well the company’s stock performs.
Non-GAAP financial measures financial
"The Company included certain non-GAAP financial measures within this presentation"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

Safe Harbor Statement This presentation and other written or oral statements made from time to time by representatives of Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. ("Oppenheimer” or the “company”) may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements may relate to such matters as anticipated financial performance, future revenues or earnings, business prospects, new products or services, anticipated market performance and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of the company’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the company’s control. The company cautions that a variety of factors could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the company’s forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2026 (the “2025 10-K”) and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 filed with the SEC on May 1, 2026 (the “2026 10-Q1”). In addition, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include those factors discussed in Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the 2026 10-Q1. Any forward-looking statements herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to all such factors discussed in the 2025 10-K, the 2026 10-Q1 and the company’s other SEC filings. There can be no assurance that the company has correctly or completely identified and assessed all of the factors affecting the company’s business. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the company in this presentation is based only on information currently available to the company and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. 3

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company included certain non-GAAP financial measures within this presentation to supplement the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") financial information. Adjusted results begin with information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and such results are adjusted to exclude, or include, certain items. Specifically, we included non-GAAP measures that adjust the Company’s net income and earnings per share to exclude the expense associated with the settlement of the class action “cash sweep” litigation because management does not view this as ordinary-course litigation for the Company given the nature of the claims and the manner in which the action was brought. We also included non-GAAP measures that exclude compensation expense related to the recurring, mark-to-market remeasurement of liability-based stock appreciation rights from net income and earnings per share because the period-to-period variability in this expense is largely driven by factors outside the Company’s direct control, including changes in the fair value of and underlying volatility levels in Oppenheimer Holdings Inc.’s Class A common stock price. For this reason, management expects to provide this non-GAAP measure in future reporting periods, subject to ongoing evaluation. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information for investors because they permit investors to view the Company's financial performance measures on a basis consistent with how management views the operating performance of the Firm. These non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are also useful to investors when comparing the Company’s results across different financial reporting periods on a consistent basis. The tables on the previous slide reconcile our non-GAAP financial measures to their respective U.S. GAAP measures. These non- GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the analysis of U.S. GAAP financial measures. 17
