Insights
Cohen & Company's Q4 2024 results mark a significant deterioration in performance, with a net loss of $2.0 million ($1.21 per share) compared to net income of $2.2 million in Q3 2024 and $4.5 million in Q4 2023. This represents a concerning reversal in profitability.
Most alarming is the steep revenue decline to $18.5 million - a 42% drop from Q3 2024 ($31.7 million) and 46% below Q4 2023 ($34.5 million). The primary driver was new issue and advisory revenue, which fell by $12.4 million quarter-over-quarter and $8.6 million year-over-year, indicating significant weakness in their investment banking activities.
Adjusted pre-tax figures highlight an even more dramatic swing, with a $7.7 million loss in Q4 2024 versus $7.7 million profit in Q3 2024 and $16.0 million profit in Q4 2023.
While the mortgage business shows some resilience with a 30% year-over-year increase in their gestation repo book to $2.7 billion (impressive given elevated mortgage rates), this wasn't enough to offset weakness elsewhere.
The maintained quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share (representing approximately a 10.6% annual yield at current prices) raises questions about capital allocation given the shift to losses. Though total equity remains substantial at $90.3 million, it declined slightly from $91.8 million at year-end 2023.
The year-over-year comparison is further complicated by the $17.9 million swing in equity method affiliates, from $17.2 million income in Q4 2023 to a $0.7 million loss in Q4 2024, related to SPAC activity timing.

Adjusted pre-tax loss was$7.7 million , or$1.32 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to adjusted pre-tax income of$7.7 million , or$1.34 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and adjusted pre-tax income of$16.0 million , or$2.88 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) per diluted share are not measures recognized under GAAP. See Note 1 below. - Revenues were
$18.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to$31.7 million for the prior quarter and$34.5 million for the prior year quarter.
- Net trading revenue was
$8.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, comparable to the prior quarter and up$1.1 million from the prior year quarter. The increase from the prior year quarter was due primarily to higher trading revenue from our mortgage group. - Asset management revenue was
$2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, down slightly from the prior quarter and up$0.1 million from the prior year quarter. The change from the prior year quarter was related primarily to deferred performance fees in one of our European funds. - New issue and advisory revenue was
$10.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, down$12.4 million from the prior quarter and down$8.6 million from the prior year quarter. - Principal transactions and other revenue was negative
$2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to negative$1.7 million in the prior quarter and positive$6.0 million in the prior year quarter.

- Compensation and benefits expense during the three months ended December 31, 2024 decreased
$5.0 million from the prior quarter and decreased$3.4 million from the prior year quarter.

$1.5 million , including$1.2 million on our trust preferred securities debt,$0.3 million on our senior promissory notes, and$19 thousand on our bank credit facility. During September 2024, the Company restructured two-thirds of its redeemable financial instrument into a promissory note and repaid the remaining one-third in cash. - Loss from equity method affiliates for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was
$0.7 million , compared to loss from equity method affiliates of$0.7 million for the prior quarter and income from equity method affiliates of$17.2 million for the prior year quarter. Income (loss) from equity method affiliates fluctuates primarily depending on the timing of the closing of the business combinations by the Company’s equity method investees that are sponsors of SPACs, which typically results in changes to the value of founder shares allocable to the Company by the SPAC sponsors. Also, certain sponsors of SPACs hold the founder shares for some period after the business combination, which may cause income (loss) for equity method affiliates to further fluctuate. During the fourth quarter of 2023, there were four business combinations that closed, which resulted in that quarter’s significant income from equity method affiliates. - Income tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was
$0.8 million , compared to income tax expense of$0.1 million in the prior quarter, and income tax expense of$0.2 million in the prior year quarter. The Company will continue to evaluate its operations on a quarterly basis and may adjust the valuation allowance applied against the Company's net operating loss and net capital loss tax assets. Future adjustments could be material and may result in additional tax benefit or tax expense.

- As of December 31, 2024, total equity was
$90.3 million , compared to$91.8 million as of December 31, 2023; the non-convertible non-controlling interest component of total equity was$11.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and$9.6 million as of December 31, 2023.

$0.25 per share, payable on April 9, 2025, to stockholders of record as of March 26, 2025. The Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the dividend policy each quarter, and future decisions regarding dividends may be impacted by quarterly operating results and the Company’s capital needs.

Cautionary Note Regarding Quarterly Financial Results
Due to the nature of our business, our revenue and operating results may fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter. Accordingly, revenue and net income in any particular quarter may not be indicative of future results. Further, our employee compensation arrangements are in large part incentive-based and, therefore, will fluctuate with revenue. The amount of compensation expense recognized in any one quarter may not be indicative of such expense in future periods. As a result, we suggest that annual results may be the most meaningful gauge for investors in evaluating our business performance.

Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) per diluted share
Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is not a financial measure recognized by GAAP. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) represents net income (loss) attributable to Cohen & Company Inc., computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding income tax expense (benefit), plus the net income (loss) attributable to the convertible non-controlling interest. Income tax expense (benefit) has been excluded because a pre-tax measurement of enterprise earnings that includes net income (loss) attributable to the convertible non-controlling interest is a useful and appropriate measure of performance. Furthermore, our income tax expense (benefit) has been, and we expect it will continue to be, a substantially non-cash item for the foreseeable future, generated from adjustments in our valuation allowance applied to the Company’s gross deferred tax assets. Convertible non-controlling interest is added back to adjusted pre-tax income (loss) because the underlying Cohen & Company, LLC equity units are convertible into Cohen & Company Inc. shares. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) per diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pre-tax income (loss) by diluted shares outstanding, both of which include adjustments used in the corresponding calculation in accordance with GAAP.
We present adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and related per diluted share amounts in this release because we consider them to be useful and appropriate supplemental measures of our performance. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and related per diluted share amounts help us to evaluate our performance without the effects of certain GAAP calculations that may not have a direct cash or recurring impact on our current operating performance. In addition, our management uses adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and related per diluted share amounts to evaluate the performance of our enterprise operations. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) and related per diluted share amounts, as we define them, are not necessarily comparable to similarly named measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) should not be assessed in isolation from or construed as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to Cohen & Company Inc. prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is not intended to represent and should not be considered to be a more meaningful measure than, or an alternative to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP.
