Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the 2025 10-Q1. Any forward-looking statements herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to all such factors discussed in the 2024 10-K, the 2025 10-Q1 and the company’s other SEC filings.

Summary Investing in our future and poised for growth Technology Transportation & Logistics Energy 18 In Review Looking Forward Record high revenues for the full year 2024 were driven by higher advisory fee, an increase in transaction-based revenues as well as significantly improved investment banking and interest revenue Our strong 2024 results provided the company with the opportunity to further strengthen its balance sheet through the redemption of all outstanding senior secured notes ($113 million) in Q4-2024 The firm's diversified business model continued delivering profitable results in Q1-2025 amidst increasingly uncertain macroeconomic conditions, posting our best quarter since Q4- 2021's record quarterly results Our solid capital position afforded us the ability to return capital to stockholders through a 20% increase in our quarterly dividend in Q3-2024 in addition to repurchases of 243,806 Class A non- voting common shares in 2024 Well-positioned to provide client advice amidst rapid developments on market-moving policies enacted by the new administration that have resulted in increasingly volatile market conditions Will continue to pursue organic and inorganic growth opportunities in areas complimentary to our existing businesses while continuing to look at the independent channel and other strategic partnerships Moving into Q2-2025, advisory fees may be adversely impacted by lower billable AUM should the recent market decline persist amidst uncertainty over tariffs and tax policy while capital markets activity levels and related fees may not rebound if volatile market conditions continue Will opportunistically pursue hiring qualified candidates across the platform, including in Wealth Management and Capital Markets
