Management Commentary

“During a volatile and challenging market environment in 2022, Siebert continued to build the foundation for future growth,” said Gloria E. Gebbia, controlling shareholder and board member of Siebert. “While our performance this year was disappointing primarily due to certain expenses that are not ongoing, we remain confident in our offerings and have numerous initiatives underway to build a more diversified business, capitalize on the evolving needs of our clients and position Siebert for success. We continue to expand our corporate services offering and broker-dealer capabilities while strengthening Siebert’s presence in the Greater Miami area to have further geographical reach for our clients. Looking ahead, we remain well-positioned to empower our clients’ success and will continue to build on Muriel Siebert’s legacy and modernize our offerings to meet client demand.”

Andrew Reich, CFO of Siebert, commented: “While we had an net loss in 2022, a substantial portion of this loss was driven by certain non-operating expenses of $4.7 million as well as a temporary unrealized loss of $3.9 million on our U.S. government securities portfolio, which we anticipate to be reversed over the maturities of the securities (the large majority of which mature by the end of 2023). Siebert achieved pretax income of $4.3 million in 2022 excluding these items.

Our Securities Finance division delivered 22% topline growth in 2022 and remains a key growth driver for Siebert. We also benefited from the rising interest rate environment and remain well positioned to benefit from that trend throughout 2023. Looking ahead, we remain focused on returning to profitability and continue to identify opportunities to drive revenue growth while optimizing our expenses. While the economic outlook remains uncertain, we are well positioned with a strong balance sheet and a diversified business model.”**
