2. Summary of significant accounting policies and estimates

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Form 10-K"). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the same sources as the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statement purposes. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the financial statements and the accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ materially from the estimates. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future interim or annual period.

3. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

Under ASC 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses", the Company can elect to use an approach to measure the allowance for credit losses using the fair value of collateral where the borrower is required to, and reasonably expected to, continually adjust and replenish the amount of collateral securing the instrument to reflect changes in the fair value of such collateral. The Company has elected to use this approach for securities borrowed, margin loans, and reverse repurchase agreements. No material historical losses have been reported on these assets. See Note 9 for details.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $53.6 million of notes receivable ($58.0 million as of December 31, 2025). Notes receivable represent recruiting and retention payments generally in the form of upfront loans to financial advisors and key revenue producers as part of the Company's overall growth strategy. These notes generally amortize over a service period of 3 to 9 years from the initial date of the note. All such notes are contingent on the employees' continued employment with the Company. The unforgiven portion of the notes becomes due on demand in the event the employee departs during the service period. At that point, any uncollected portion of the notes is reclassified into a defaulted notes category.

The allowance for uncollectibles is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the defaulted notes balance to present the net amount expected to be collected. Balances are charged-off against the allowance when management deems the amount to be uncollectible.

The Company reserves 100% of the uncollected balance of defaulted notes which are five years and older and applies an expected loss rate to the remaining balance. The expected loss rate is based on historical collection rates of defaulted notes. The expected loss rate may be adjusted for changes in environmental and market conditions such as changes in unemployment rates, changes in interest rates and/or other relevant factors. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, no adjustments were made to the expected loss rates. The Company will continuously monitor the effect of these factors on the expected loss rate and adjust it as necessary.

The allowance is measured on a pool basis as the Company has determined that the entire defaulted portion of notes receivable has similar risk characteristics.

As of September 30, 2026, the balance of defaulted notes was $4.6 million and the allowance for uncollectibles was $3.0 million. The allowance for uncollectibles consisted of $1.9 million related to defaulted notes balances (five years and older) and $1.1 million (under five years).

The following table presents the disaggregation of defaulted notes by year of default as of September 30, 2026:

4. Leases

The Company has operating leases for office space and equipment expiring at various dates through 2037. The Company leases its corporate headquarters at 85 Broad Street, New York, New York, which houses its executive management team and many administrative functions for the Company as well as its research, trading, investment banking, and asset management divisions and an office in Troy, Michigan, which among other things, houses its payroll and human resources departments. In October 2026, the Company elected not to exercise its renewal option for its corporate headquarters lease at 85 Broad Street. See Note 16. In addition, the Company has 88 retail branch offices in the United States as well as offices in London, United Kingdom; St. Helier, Isle of Jersey; Geneva, Switzerland; Tel Aviv, Israel; and Hong Kong, China.

The Company is constantly assessing its needs for office space and, on a rolling basis, has many leases that expire in any given year. Substantially all of the leases are held by the Company's subsidiary, Viner Finance Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Most leases include an option to renew and the exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The Company did not include the renewal options as part of the right of use assets and liabilities. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had right-of-use operating lease assets of $110.5 million (net of accumulated amortization of $154.0 million) which are comprised of real estate leases of $107.7 million (net of accumulated amortization of $151.5 million) and equipment leases of $2.8 million (net of accumulated amortization of $2.5 million). As of September 30, 2026, the Company had operating lease liabilities of $141.4 million which are comprised of real estate lease liabilities of $138.6 million and equipment lease liabilities of $2.8 million. The Company had no finance leases as of September 30, 2026.

As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The following table presents the weighted average lease term and weighted average discount rate for the Company's operating leases as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively:

5. Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Company's progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the goods or services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised good or service.

The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those promised goods or services (i.e., the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, the Company considers the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of its past experiences, the time period during which uncertainties are expected to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside of the Company's influence, such as market volatility or the judgment and actions of third parties.

The Company earns revenue from contracts with customers and other sources (principal transactions, interest and other). The following provides detailed information on the recognition of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers:

Commissions

Commissions from Sales and Trading — The Company earns commission revenue by executing, settling and clearing transactions with clients primarily in exchange-traded and over-the-counter corporate equity and debt securities, money market instruments and exchange-traded options and futures contracts. A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from commissions from private clients through accounts with transaction-based pricing. Trade execution and clearing services, when provided together, represent a single performance obligation as the services are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract. Commission revenue associated with combined trade execution and clearing services, as well as trade execution services on a standalone basis, is recognized at a point in time on trade date when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Commission revenue is generally paid on settlement date, which is generally one business day after trade date. The Company records a receivable on the trade date and receives a payment on the settlement date.

Mutual Fund Income — The Company earns mutual fund income for sales and distribution of mutual fund shares, which consists of a fixed fee amount and a variable amount. The Company recognizes mutual fund income at a point in time on the trade date when the performance obligation is satisfied which is when the mutual fund interest is sold to the investor. The ongoing distribution fees for distributing investment products from mutual fund companies are generally considered variable consideration because they are based on the value of AUM and are uncertain on trade date. The Company recognizes distribution fees over the investment period as the amounts become known and the portion recognized in the current period may relate to distribution services performed in prior periods. Mutual fund income is generally received within 90 days.

Advisory Fees

The Company earns management and performance (or incentive) fees in connection with the advisory and asset management services it provides to various types of funds, asset-based programs and investment vehicles through its subsidiaries. Management fees are generally based on the account value at the valuation date per the respective asset management agreements and are recognized over time as the customer receives the benefits of the services evenly throughout the term of the contract. Performance fees are recognized when the return on client AUM exceeds a specified benchmark return or other performance targets over a 12-month measurement period are met. Performance fees are considered variable as they are subject to fluctuation and/or are contingent on a future event over the measurement period and are not subject to adjustment once the measurement period ends. Such fees are computed as of the fund's year-end when the measurement period ends and generally are recorded as earned in the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year. Both management and performance fees are generally received within 90 days.

Investment Banking

The Company earns underwriting revenue by providing capital raising solutions for corporate and public finance clients through initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, equity-linked offerings, municipal and public finance offerings, private investments in public entities, and private placements. Underwriting revenue is recognized at a point in time on trade date, as the client obtains the control and benefit of the capital markets offering at that time. These fees are generally received within 90 days after the transactions are completed. Transaction-related expenses, primarily consisting of legal, travel and other costs directly associated with the transaction, are deferred and recognized in the same period as the related investment banking transaction revenue. Underwriting revenue and related expenses are presented gross on the condensed consolidated income statements.

Revenue from financial advisory services includes fees generated in connection with mergers, acquisitions and restructuring transactions. Such revenue and fees are primarily recorded at a point in time when services for the performance obligations have been completed and income is reasonably determinable, generally as set forth under the terms of the engagement. Payment for advisory services is generally due upon a completion of the transaction or milestone. Retainer fees and fees earned from certain advisory services are recognized ratably over the service period as the customer receives the benefit of the services throughout the term of the contracts, and such fees are collected based on the terms of the contracts.

Bank Deposit Sweep Income

Bank deposit sweep income consists of revenue earned from the FDIC-insured bank deposit program. Under this program, client funds are swept into deposit accounts at participating banks and are eligible for FDIC deposit insurance up to FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amounts. Fees are earned over time and are generally received within 30 days.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The timing of the Company's revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. The Company records contract assets when payment is due from a client conditioned on future performance or the occurrence of other events. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company had receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers of $51.6 million and $72.8 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company had no significant impairments related to these receivables during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

8. Fair value measurements

Securities owned, securities sold but not yet purchased, investments, derivative contracts and certain loans are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each period. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A description of the valuation techniques applied and inputs used in measuring the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, are as follows:

Securities

The Company determines the fair value of securities (both long and short) primarily based on pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Where unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities are available in an active market, we classify the securities within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities, money market funds and corporate equities.

If quoted market prices are unavailable, fair values are generally determined using pricing models which incorporate market observable inputs, such as benchmark yields, recently executed transaction prices, issuer spreads, reported trades, bids, offers and other reference data. Examples of such instruments, which are typically classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include U.S. Agency securities, sovereign obligations, corporate debt and other obligations, mortgage and other asset-backed securities, municipal obligations, money market funds and convertible bonds.

In limited situations where there is reduced activity or less observability around inputs to the valuation, we classify those securities in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company valued a convertible note using a discounted cash flow model and warrants using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and categorized them in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the models' use of unobservable inputs. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $2.3 million ($2.1 million as of December 31, 2025) and $1.2 million ($1.2 million as of December 31, 2025) of convertible note and warrants, respectively, in Level 3 assets. Additionally, as of each of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company classified a $17.0 million equity securities associated with a consolidated private equity fund sponsored by the Company within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable pricing inputs.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company classifies exchange-traded derivative financial instruments such as futures contracts in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Some of our derivative positions, such as to-be-announced ("TBA") securities, are valued using models that use observable market parameters, and we classify them in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated using recently executed transactions and current price quotations, which are usually observable. When observable pricing information is not available, fair value is generally determined based on cash flow models using discounted cash flow models, competitor comparable data and other valuation metrics. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $31,000 and $653,000 of loans, respectively, in Level 2 assets.

Other

The Company owns an equity method investment in a financial technologies firm. The Company elected the fair value option for this investment and it is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company determined the fair value of the investment using observable market data to derive an implied market-multiple. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the investment was reclassified from Level 2 to Level 3 based on the Company's assessment of the observability of certain valuation inputs used in estimating fair value. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the investment was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to the availability of observable transaction data, including recent transactions in the investee's shares, used in calibrating the fair value of the investment. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of this investment was $5.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

OPPENHEIMER HOLDINGS INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Subsequent to September 30, 2026, the Company invested an additional C$1.0 million ($0.7 million) directly in the investee through the purchase of newly issued shares and acquired approximately C$7.3 million ($5.2 million) of shares directly from certain existing shareholders pursuant to a general offer to provide liquidity to long-term shareholders. The Company has not to date obtained a controlling financial interest in the investee as a result of these transactions. A second closing is expected to occur in January 2027, pursuant to which the Company expects to purchase approximately C$338,000 of additional shares from existing shareholders. Depending on the ultimate ownership interest acquired and related governance rights, completion of the transactions could result in consolidation of the investee.

Trade claims are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the illiquid nature of the claims and the period of time since the executed prices. As of each of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no trade claims.

Investments

In its role as general partner in certain hedge funds and private equity funds, the Company, through its subsidiaries, holds direct investments in such funds. There are no readily available market quotations for these investments. The Company records these investments within other assets and uses the net asset value of the underlying fund as a basis for estimating the fair value of its investment unless another method provides a better indicator of fair value. Changes in the fair value of these investments are reflected within other income in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

The table below presents the carrying value, fair value and fair value hierarchy category of certain financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The table below excludes non-financial assets and liabilities (e.g., furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements and accrued compensation).

The carrying value of financial instruments not measured at fair value categorized in the fair value hierarchy as Level 1 or Level 2 (e.g., cash and receivables from customers) approximates fair value because of the relatively short-term nature of the underlying assets.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company transacts, on a limited basis, in exchange traded and over-the-counter derivatives for both asset and liability management as well as for trading and investment purposes. Risks managed using derivative instruments include interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, foreign exchange risk. All derivative instruments are measured at fair value and are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Foreign exchange hedges

From time to time, the Company also utilizes forward and options contracts to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with compensation obligations to Oppenheimer Israel (OPCO) Ltd. employees denominated in New Israeli Shekel ("NIS"). Such hedges have not been designated as accounting hedges. Any unrealized gains and losses on foreign exchange forward contracts are recorded in other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and other income in the condensed consolidated income statement.

Derivatives used for trading and investment purposes

Futures contracts represent commitments to purchase or sell securities or other commodities at a future date and at a specified price. Market risk exists with respect to these instruments. Notional or contractual amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions and do not represent the amounts potentially subject to market risk. The Company uses futures contracts, including U.S. Treasury Notes, federal funds, general collateral futures and Eurodollar contracts primarily as an economic hedge of interest rate risk associated with government trading activities. Unrealized gains and losses on futures contracts are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in receivables from or payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and in the condensed consolidated income statement as principal transactions revenue, net.

To-be-announced securities

The Company also transacts in pass-through mortgage-backed securities eligible to be sold in the TBA market as economic hedges against mortgage-backed securities that it owns or has sold but not yet purchased. TBAs provide for the forward or delayed delivery of the underlying instrument with settlement up to 180 days. The contractual or notional amounts related to these financial instruments reflect the volume of activity and do not reflect the amounts at risk. Net unrealized gains and losses on TBAs are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations or payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and in the condensed consolidated income statement as principal transactions revenue, net.

9. Collateralized transactions

The Company enters into collateralized borrowing and lending transactions in order to meet customers' needs and earn interest rate spreads, obtain securities for settlement and finance trading inventory positions. Under these transactions, the Company either receives or provides collateral, including U.S. Government and Agency, asset-backed, corporate debt, equity, and non-U.S. Government and Agency securities.

The Company obtains short-term borrowings primarily through bank call loans, securities loaned and repurchase transactions. Bank call loans are generally payable on demand and bear interest at various rates. As of September 30, 2026, the outstanding balance of bank call loans was $222.3 million ($76.8 million as of December 31, 2025). As of September 30, 2026, such loans with commercial banks were collateralized by the Company's securities and customer securities with market values of approximately $66.3 million and $180.7 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $2.3 billion of customer securities under customer margin loans that are available to be pledged, of which the Company has re-pledged approximately $473.6 million under securities loan agreements.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had pledged $579.2 million of customer securities directly with the Options Clearing Corporation to secure obligations and margin requirements under option contracts written by customers.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had no outstanding letters of credit.

The Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions to, among other things, acquire securities to cover short positions and settle other securities obligations, to accommodate customers' needs and to finance the Company's inventory positions. Except as described below, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, principally involving U.S. Government and Agency securities, are carried at amounts at which the securities subsequently will be resold or reacquired as specified in the respective agreements and include accrued interest.

Repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements are presented on a net-by-counterparty basis, when the repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements are executed with the same counterparty, have the same explicit settlement date, are executed in accordance with a master netting arrangement, the securities underlying the repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements exist in "book entry" form and certain other requirements are met.

The following table presents a disaggregation of the gross obligation by the class of collateral pledged and the remaining contractual maturity of the repurchase agreements and securities loaned transactions as of September 30, 2026:

The Company receives collateral in connection with securities borrowed and reverse repurchase agreement transactions and customer margin loans. Under many agreements, the Company is permitted to sell or re-pledge the securities received (e.g., use the securities to enter into securities lending transactions, or deliver to counterparties to cover short positions). As of September 30, 2026, the fair value of securities received as collateral under securities borrowed transactions and reverse repurchase agreements was $114.6 million ($153.3 million as of December 31, 2025) and $130.5 million ($175.8 million as of December 31, 2025), respectively, of which the Company has sold and re-pledged approximately $44.0 million ($49.1 million as of December 31, 2025) under securities loaned transactions and $130.5 million under repurchase agreements ($175.8 million as of December 31, 2025).

The Company pledges certain of its securities owned for securities lending and repurchase agreements and to collateralize bank call loan transactions. The carrying value of pledged securities owned that can be sold or re-pledged by the counterparty was $1.2 billion, as presented on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2026 ($1.2 billion as of December 31, 2025).

The Company manages credit exposure arising from repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with counterparties that provide the Company, in the event of a customer default, the right to liquidate securities and the right to offset a counterparty's rights and obligations. The Company manages market risk of repurchase agreements and securities loaned by monitoring the market value of collateral held and the market value of securities receivable from others. It is the Company's policy to request and obtain additional collateral when exposure to loss exists. In the event the counterparty is unable to meet its contractual obligation to return the securities, the Company may be exposed to off-balance sheet risk of acquiring securities at prevailing market prices.

Credit Concentrations

Credit concentrations may arise from trading, investing, underwriting and financing activities and may be impacted by changes in economic, industry or political factors. In the normal course of business, the Company may be exposed to credit risk in the event customers, counterparties including other brokers and dealers, issuers, banks, depositories or clearing organizations are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations. The Company seeks to mitigate these risks by actively monitoring exposures and obtaining collateral as deemed appropriate. Included in receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations as of September 30, 2026 were receivables related to securities borrowed transactions from five major U.S. broker-dealers totaling approximately $100.3 million. Included in receivables from customers as of September 30, 2026 were fully secured margin loans from our two largest customer accounts totaling approximately $679.0 million, comprising 42.0% of total margin loans.

The Company is obligated to settle transactions with brokers and other financial institutions even if its clients fail to meet their obligations to the Company. Clients are required to complete their transactions on the settlement date, generally one business day after the trade date. If clients do not fulfill their contractual obligations, the Company may incur losses. The Company has clearing/participating arrangements with the National Securities Clearing Corporation, the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation ("FICC"), the Mortgage-Backed Securities Division (a division of the FICC), the Options Clearing Corporation and others. With respect to its business in reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements, all open contracts as of September 30, 2026 are with the FICC. In addition, the Company clears its non-U.S. international equities business carried on by Oppenheimer Europe Ltd. through Global Prime Partners, Ltd., a global clearing financial institution located in the United Kingdom. The clearing organizations have the right to charge the Company for losses that result from a client's failure to fulfill its contractual obligations. Accordingly, the Company has credit exposures with these clearing brokers. The clearing brokers can re-hypothecate the securities held on behalf of the Company. As the right to charge the Company has no maximum amount and applies to all trades executed through the clearing brokers, the Company believes there is no maximum amount assignable to this right. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had recorded no liabilities with regard to this right. The Company's policy is to monitor the credit standing of the clearing brokers and banks with which it conducts business.

10. Variable interest entities ("VIEs")

The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any VIEs where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

In the normal course of business, the Company may sponsor and serve as the general partner or managing member of hedge funds and private equity funds established for the purpose of providing alternative investments to both its institutional and qualified retail clients. Upon initial formation, the Company or its affiliates may provide loans to these funds to finance the purchase of underlying investments. These loans generally mature in 90 days or less and are repaid by the funds when the underlying fund interests are sold to qualified clients. Depending on the facts and circumstances, the sponsored investment funds may be considered VIEs, as the loans are considered variable interests. In November 2025, such a loan (the "Loan") was made to a private equity fund (the "Fund"). As of December 31, 2025, $5.0 million of the Loan was outstanding. On March 31, 2026, the Loan was converted into equity interests in the Fund. The Company determined that the Fund meets the definition of a VIE because a simple majority of the underlying investors (equity holders) do not have the ability to remove the Managing Member and the Company has power and potential to absorb gains and losses that could potentially be significant to the Fund. Since an affiliate of the Company serves as the Managing Member and has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Fund's economic performance, the Company concluded it is the primary beneficiary and consolidated the Fund as of each of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The assets of the VIE can only be used to settle the obligations of the VIE. The following table sets forth the total assets and liabilities of the VIE consolidated on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

11. Income taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was 38.5% and 42.6%, respectively, compared with 31.4% and 29.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and reflects the Company's annual estimate of the statutory federal and state tax rates adjusted for certain discrete items. The higher effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2026 primarily reflects the greater impact of nondeductible expenses on lower pretax income.

12. Stockholders' Equity

The Company's authorized shares consist of (a) 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share; (b) 50,000,000 shares of Class A Stock, par value $0.001 per share; and (c) 99,665 shares of Class B Stock, par value $0.001 per share. No Preferred Stock has been issued. 99,665 shares of Class B Stock have been issued and are outstanding.

The Class A Stock and the Class B Stock are equal in all respects except that the Class A Stock is non-voting.

Stock buy-back

On March 1, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorized the Company to purchase up to 518,000 shares of the Company's Class A Stock, representing approximately 5.0% of its 10,357,376 then issued and outstanding shares of Class A Stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company purchased and canceled an aggregate of 243,806 shares of Class A Stock for a total consideration of $9.6 million ($39.39 per share) under its share repurchase program. As of December 31, 2024, 497,893 shares remained available to be purchased under its share repurchase program.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company purchased and canceled an aggregate of 46,292 shares of Class A Stock for a total consideration of $3.0 million ($64.36 per share) under its share repurchase program. As of December 31, 2025, 451,601 shares remained available to be purchased under the share repurchase program.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company did not purchase any shares of Class A Stock under its share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2026, 451,601 shares remained available to be purchased under the share repurchase program.

Share purchases will be made by the Company from time to time in the open market at the prevailing open market price using cash on hand or other liquidity sources, in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and federal and state securities laws. All shares purchased will be canceled. The share repurchase program is expected to continue indefinitely. The timing and amounts of any purchases will be based on market conditions and other factors including price, regulatory requirements and capital availability. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of Class A Stock. Depending on market conditions and other factors, these repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice.

On October 30, 2026, the Company announced a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.20 per share, payable on November 27, 2026 to holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock of record on November 13, 2026.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company had capital commitments of $0.7 million with respect to unfunded obligations in private equity funds sponsored by the Company and $6.0 million of commitments related to additional operating leases that have not yet commenced.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had no collateralized or uncollateralized letters of credit outstanding.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into commitments for debt and equity underwritings. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had certain open underwriting commitments, which were subsequently settled in open market transactions and did not result in any losses.

Contingencies

Many aspects of the Company's business involve substantial risks of liability. In the normal course of business, the Company has been named as defendant or co-defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, creating substantial exposure and periodic expenses. Certain of the actual or threatened legal matters include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. These proceedings arise primarily from securities brokerage, asset management and investment banking activities. The Company is also involved, from time to time, in other reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by governmental and self-regulatory agencies regarding the Company's business, which may result in expenses, adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. The investigations include inquiries from the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and other regulators.

The Company accrues for estimated loss contingencies related to legal and regulatory matters within other expenses in the condensed consolidated income statement when available information indicates that it is probable a liability had been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss. In many proceedings, however, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible or to estimate the amount of any loss. In addition, even where a loss is possible or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued with respect to a previously recognized loss contingency, it is often not possible to reasonably estimate the size of the possible loss or range of loss or possible additional losses or range of additional losses.

For certain legal and regulatory proceedings, the Company cannot reasonably estimate such losses, particularly for proceedings that are in their early stages of development or where plaintiffs seek substantial, indeterminate or special damages. Counsel may be required to review, analyze and resolve numerous issues, including through potentially lengthy discovery and determination of important factual matters, and by addressing novel or unsettled legal questions relevant to the proceedings in question, before the Company can reasonably estimate a loss or range of loss or additional loss for the proceeding. Even after lengthy review and analysis, the Company, in many legal and regulatory proceedings, may not be able to reasonably estimate possible losses or range of losses.

For certain other legal and regulatory proceedings, the Company can estimate possible losses, or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued, but does not believe, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that such losses individually, or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.

For legal and regulatory proceedings where there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may be incurred, the Company estimates a range of aggregate loss in excess of amounts accrued of up to $3 million. This estimated aggregate range is based upon currently available information for those legal proceedings in which the Company is involved, where the Company can make an estimate for such losses. For certain cases, the Company does not believe that it can make an estimate. The foregoing aggregate estimate is based on various factors, including the varying stages of the proceedings (including the fact that some are currently in preliminary stages), the numerous yet-unresolved issues in many of the


Table of Contents
OPPENHEIMER HOLDINGS INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

proceedings and the attendant uncertainty of the various potential outcomes of such proceedings. Accordingly, the Company's estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses may be more than the current estimate.

On June 6, 2025, a complaint in a putative class action entitled Liberty Capital Group, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Oppenheimer Holdings Inc., Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., and Oppenheimer Asset Management Inc., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ("District Court"). Plaintiff purports to represent customers who had cash deposits or balances in the Advantage Bank Deposit (“ABD”) program. Plaintiff alleges that the Company paid customers unreasonably low interest rates in the ABD program and seeks unspecified damages. On October 21, 2025, plaintiff moved for class certification, which Oppenheimer opposed. On December 8, 2025, the District Court issued its decision granting class certification on plaintiff’s causes of action for breach of the terms and conditions and implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The case was scheduled for trial commencing in June 2026.

On April 24, 2026, the parties entered into a settlement of the litigation pursuant to which Oppenheimer agreed to pay $70 million in full and final settlement of all claims brought in the litigation. On May 13, 2026, Plaintiff filed in the District Court a Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement. On May 22, 2026, the District Court entered an Order Granting Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement, Approving Form and Manner of Notice, and Setting Date for Hearing on Final Approval of Settlement (“Order”). Pursuant to the terms of the Order, on June 8, 2026, Oppenheimer deposited $70 million into an escrow account for the benefit of the class and reversed the related loss accrual. On September 17, 2026, the District Court issued an order giving final approval to the settlement agreement. The Company received a release from any and all claims arising from the facts and circumstances alleged in the litigation and did not admit to any liability or wrongdoing. The Company expects that the amount of the settlement will be fully tax deductible.

14. Regulatory requirements

The Company's U.S. broker dealer subsidiary, Oppenheimer, is subject to the uniform net capital requirements of the SEC under Rule 15c3-1 (the "Rule") promulgated under the Exchange Act. Oppenheimer computes its net capital requirements under the alternative method provided for in the Rule which requires that Oppenheimer maintain net capital equal to two percent of aggregate customer-related debit items, as defined in SEC Rule 15c3-3. As of September 30, 2026, the net capital of Oppenheimer as calculated under the Rule was $477.9 million or 26.25% of Oppenheimer's aggregate debit items. This was $441.5 million in excess of the minimum required net capital at that date.

As of September 30, 2026, the capital required and held under the Financial Conduct Authority's Investment Firms’ Prudential Regime (“IFPR”) for Oppenheimer Europe Ltd. was as follows:

•Common Equity Tier 1 ratio 107% (required 56.0%);

•Tier 1 Capital ratio 107% (required 75.0%); and

•Total Capital ratio 166% (required 100.0%).

As of September 30, 2026, Oppenheimer Europe Ltd. was in compliance with its regulatory requirements.

As of September 30, 2026, the regulatory capital of Oppenheimer Investments Asia Limited was $3.1 million, which was $2.7 million in excess of the $382,320 required to be maintained on that date. Oppenheimer Investments Asia Limited computes its regulatory capital pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong. As of September 30, 2026, Oppenheimer Investments Asia Limited was in compliance with its regulatory requirements.

As of September 30, 2026, Oppenheimer Trust Company of Delaware is required to maintain minimal capital of $4.15 million. Oppenheimer Trust Company of Delaware is currently in compliance with its capital requirements.

15. Segment information

The Company has determined its reportable segments based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which disaggregates its retail business by branch and its proprietary and investment banking businesses by product. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer.

The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company’s reportable segments based on their year-over-year revenue and pre-tax profit or loss and uses this measure to allocate resources (including employee, financial and/or capital resources), largely in conjunction with monthly and/or quarterly reviews of segment financial performance. The CODM also uses segment profit or loss in evaluating the incentive and other compensation of segment employees as well as capital investment for facilities and information technology development.

The Company's reportable segments are:

Wealth Management — includes commissions and fee income earned on assets under management ("AUM"), net interest earnings on client margin loans and cash balances, fees from money market funds, custodian fees, net contributions from stock loan activities and financing activities, and direct expenses;

Capital Markets — includes investment banking, institutional equities sales, trading, and research, taxable fixed income sales, trading, and research, public finance and municipal trading, as well as the Company's operations in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Israel, and direct expenses associated with this segment; and

Corporate/Other

The Company does not allocate costs associated with certain infrastructure support groups that are centrally managed for its reportable segments. These areas include, but are not limited to, legal, compliance, operations, accounting, and internal audit. Costs associated with these groups are separately reported in a Corporate/Other category and primarily include compensation and benefits. The costs of certain centralized or shared functions are allocated based on methodologies that reflect utilization.

The Company also includes activities associated with BondWave, LLC ("BondWave") in Corporate/Other. BondWave is a cloud-based financial market software-as-a-service provider which offers institutions and broker-dealers active in fixed income markets with an integrated suite of portfolio analytics, transaction analytics and proprietary data solutions. BondWave also offers municipal bond data analysis, news and information to financial institutions.

The tables below present information about the Company’s reported segment revenue, segment pre-tax income or loss, compensation expenses, and other segment items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. There are no adjustments or reconciling items for any of the periods presented. Asset information by reportable segment is not reported, since the Company does not produce such information for internal use by the CODM.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BACKGROUND

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, the "Company", "Firm", "Parent", "we", "our" or "us"). The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Oppenheimer Holdings Inc., through its operating subsidiaries, is a leading middle market investment bank and full-service broker-dealer that is engaged in a broad range of activities in the securities industry, including retail securities brokerage, institutional sales and trading, market-making, research, investment banking (both corporate and public finance), investment advisory and asset management services and trust services. Its principal subsidiaries are Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. ("Oppenheimer") and Oppenheimer Asset Management Inc. ("OAM"). As of September 30, 2026, we provided our services from 88 offices in 25 states located throughout the United States and offices in Puerto Rico, Tel Aviv, Israel, Hong Kong, China, London, England, St. Helier, Isle of Jersey and Geneva, Switzerland. The Company provides investment advisory services through OAM and Oppenheimer Investment Management LLC ("OIM") and Oppenheimer's financial advisor directed programs. At September 30, 2026, client assets under management ("AUM") totaled $59.6 billion. AUM includes the total market value of client investments in discretionary and non-discretionary advisory programs as well as the net asset value of private placements of alternative investments offered by and held by clients of the Company. Client assets under administration ("AUA") as of September 30, 2026 totaled $153.7 billion. AUA includes AUM and the other assets held for which the Company provides services. At September 30, 2026, the Company employed 3,009 employees, of whom 926 were financial advisors.

Outlook

We are focused on growing our wealth management business through strategic additions of experienced financial advisors in our existing branch system and employment of experienced money management personnel in our asset management business as well as deploying our capital for expansion through targeted acquisitions or new branch openings. We are also continuing to enhance our family office capabilities and related services to meet the evolving needs of high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients. In that regard, we have a plan under way to establish a platform in Switzerland for global high net worth clients interested in non-US custody and investment solutions. We are increasingly creating, sponsoring and investing in private market opportunities on our own behalf and on behalf of qualified clients as we believe these investments provide access to attractive long-term growth opportunities and expand the range of investment solutions available to our clients. We are also focused on opportunities in our capital markets businesses, including integrating new technology platforms to expand the suite of services offered to our clients and onboarding experienced personnel and/or small units that will improve our ability to attract institutional clients in both equities and fixed income without significantly raising our risk profile. In investment banking, we are committed to growing our footprint by adding experienced bankers in the U.S. and U.K. within our existing industry practices as well as new industry practices where we believe we can be successful. In addition, we are committed to training younger employees throughout the organization and provide various training programs. We find that we have overwhelming demand for entrance into each of these programs.

We continuously invest in and improve our technology platform to support client service and to remain competitive, while continuously managing expenses. We are also evaluating and selectively integrating artificial intelligence ("A.I.") solutions across our platform, with the goal of improving client service, increasing employee productivity and supporting our shared services, including our technology, risk management, accounting and compliance functions. Our approach is focused on leveraging these emerging technologies in a measured manner that aligns with our business model and regulatory obligations, while limiting the cyber risk that comes with these emerging technologies. We also continue to evaluate evolving market structure developments, including extended trading hours, developments in digital asset and tokenization frameworks and changing client expectations, and may selectively invest in our platform and capabilities where we believe such investments support our long-term strategic objectives.

The Company's long-term growth plan is to continue to expand existing offices by hiring experienced professionals as well as expand through the purchase of operating branch offices from other broker-dealers or the opening of new offices in attractive locations, including selectively in international markets, and to continue to grow and develop our existing wealth management, trading, investment banking, investment advisory and other businesses. We recognize employee work habits have changed in a

Table of Contents

post-pandemic world. As a result, we are continuously reviewing our physical footprint on lease renewals, and in many cases reducing office size and configuration. We are committed to continuing to improve our capabilities to ensure compliance with industry regulations, support client service and expand our wealth management and capital markets capabilities. We recognize the importance of compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and are committed to performing rigorous and ongoing assessments of our compliance and risk management effort, and investing in people and programs, while providing a platform with first class investment programs and services.

The Company also reviews its full-service business model to determine the opportunities available to build or acquire closely related businesses in areas where others have shown some success. Equally important is the search for viable acquisition candidates. Our long-term intention is to pursue growth by acquisition where we can find a comfortable match in terms of corporate goals and personnel at a price that would provide our stockholders with incremental value. We review potential acquisition opportunities from time to time with the aim of fulfilling the Company's strategic goals, while evaluating and managing our existing businesses. In addition, the Company may from time to time make an acquisition of 100% of a business, acquire a controlling financial interest in a business, increase its ownership in existing minority investments, or make new minority private investments out of excess capital in allied or unrelated businesses with the goal of either syndicating the investment to eligible clients or retaining ownership because we believe such investments may offer attractive financial returns or contribute to the Company's strategic, technological, operational or infrastructure objectives.

The Interest Rate Environment and the U.S. Economy

The Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds target range at 3.50% to 3.75% throughout most of 2026 before increasing the target range by 25 basis points to 3.75% to 4.00% in September 2026. Recent Federal Reserve communications have reflected continued focus on inflationary pressures and the need to balance price stability with economic growth and overall market conditions. Recent reports indicate that inflation will continue to impact upcoming Federal Reserve decisions on interest rates. Monetary policy actions taken subsequent to September 30, 2026 may further affect interest rate expectations and market conditions.

Further changes to the federal funds rate may continue to impact our interest-based revenue. Lower rates reduce fees earned from FDIC-insured client deposits through our sweep program, though this impact may be partially offset if the cash sweep balances rise as clients encounter fewer attractive alternatives for those balances. Rate reductions also decrease the interest we charge on customer margin loans and earn on other interest-sensitive assets, negatively affecting earnings. These impacts may be partially offset by increased activity in other parts of our business, as has been the case historically. Conversely, higher rates generally increase revenue earned on client cash balances, margin lending activities and other interest-sensitive assets, although they may also increase funding costs and influence client asset allocation decisions.

Middle East Regional Conflict

Ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to create geopolitical and economic uncertainty with potential implications for the global economy, global financial markets and our business operations. The conflict that began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched an attack on Israel, prompted Israeli military operations in Gaza. Despite periodic diplomatic efforts, the security environment in the region remains uncertain and subject to rapid change.

The increase in hostilities between Israel and the U.S., on the one hand, and Iran, on the other, has had a significant impact on the price of oil since February 2026 as well as refined products. Threats to the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea transits for oil are likely to continue to threaten the worldwide economy for the near future.

Regional tensions have contributed to uncertainty in energy markets, inflation expectations and investor sentiment and have at times increased volatility across financial markets, which may also influence monetary policy decisions and broader economic conditions. Continued or escalating hostilities could contribute to regional instability, further disrupt global trade routes and energy flows, intensify inflationary pressures, and adversely affect commodity prices, financial markets and economic activity. We continue to monitor developments closely and assess any potential impacts on client investments as well as our employees, operations and activities across the Company.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Firm's operating results for the third quarter reflected generally constructive market conditions, although earnings were disappointing due to lower retail trading activity, reduced investment banking volumes and higher expense associated with the increased value of stock appreciation rights resulting from the change in the Company's stock price during the quarter. Client asset levels grew, with assets under management ("AUM") ending the quarter at a record-high level, and assets under administration ("AUA") remaining above the prior year levels. However, trading activity moderated from the elevated levels experienced during the prior year and IPO activity slowed as issuers faced an uncertain reception, and investors navigated an environment marked by interest rate uncertainty, continued inflation concerns and the approaching U.S. midterm election cycle.

Our Wealth Management business benefited from record high AUM levels, which drove increased advisory fee revenues, although reduced retail trading activity resulted in lower transaction-based revenues. Our Capital Markets business was impacted by lower advisory and underwriting activity as corporate clients took a more cautious approach to strategic transactions and capital raising initiatives were largely unavailable to smaller issuers during the quarter, while pockets of volatility provided opportunities for certain of our trading businesses.

The Company ended the quarter with stockholders' equity reaching a record high and ample levels of liquidity and capital. Our financial strength provides us with the flexibility to continue investing in our businesses and our people while pursuing opportunities for growth across the Firm.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company reported net income of $5.5 million or $0.52 basic earnings per share for the third quarter of 2026, compared with net income of $21.7 million or $2.06 basic earnings per share for the third quarter of 2025. Revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $382.0 million, a decrease of 10.0%, compared with revenue of $424.4 million for the third quarter of 2025. Year to date revenue totaled $1,282.0 million, an increase of 10.0%, compared with $1,165.4 million for the same period in 2025. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $12.2 million or $1.14 basic earnings per share, compared with net income of $74.0 million or $7.05 basic earnings per share for the same period in 2025.

Third quarter 2026 results were impacted by a $21.0 million pre-tax expense associated with a long-term employee incentive compensation program for financial advisors that is directly tied to the OPY stock price, which increased by $12.42 per share of Class A Stock during the quarter (from $105.54 to $117.96), compared to an $8.14 per share increase (from $65.77 to $73.91) during the same period last year. The Company changed the program formula beginning in 2026 to reduce the number of grants awarded, although it will take several years for the impact of the revised program formula to be fully reflected. Adjusted net income (3), a non-GAAP measure which excludes the impact of this item, was $20.9 million or $1.96 adjusted basic earnings per share (3) for the third quarter of 2026, compared with $31.7 million or $3.01 adjusted basic earnings per share (3) for the third quarter of 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, adjusted net income (3), which also excludes the $70 million pre-tax legal accrual related to the settlement of the Company's "cash sweep" litigation recorded in the first quarter of 2026, was $114.1 million or $10.68 adjusted basic earnings per share (3), compared with $88.1 million or $8.39 adjusted basic earnings per share (3) for the same period in 2025. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide supplemental insight into the Company’s core operating performance.

Highlights

•Revenue decreased in the third quarter of 2026 primarily due to lower investment banking revenue and reduced transaction-based commissions and certain trading-related revenue, partially offset by higher advisory fees

•AUM and AUA remained above prior year levels at September 30, 2026, with AUM reaching a new record level

•Compensation expenses were lower compared with the prior year quarter primarily due to reduced incentive compensation accruals reflecting softer results, partially offset by higher stock appreciation rights expense resulting from a rise in the Company's share price

•Non-compensation expenses increased when compared with the prior year quarter, driven primarily by increases in communication and technology-related expenses

•Stockholders' equity (1) reached a record $991.1 million at September 30, 2026

Impacts of Changes in Oppenheimer Holdings Inc.’s Class A Stock Price

Under the Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. Stock Appreciation Right Plan, the Company awards stock appreciation rights ("OARs") to certain financial advisors in the Wealth Management segment as part of their compensation package based on a formula that considers gross revenue production and length of service. These awards are granted annually in January with respect to the prior year's revenue contribution. The OARs vest five years from the grant date and settle in cash upon vesting. The awardee must be continuously employed throughout the period and on the payment date upon vesting. The program was developed many years ago as a retention program for valued employees.

Our OARs obligations are recognized as a liability at fair value with any period-over-period changes in fair value recognized in current compensation expense. We determine the fair value of OARs using the Black-Scholes model as of each reporting date. Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value include the period-end price of Class A Stock, expected term and the expected volatility of the Company's Class A Stock over the term of the award.

In recent periods, increases in both the market price and expected volatility of Class A Stock have significantly increased the fair value of outstanding OARs awards and the related compensation expense. The upward movement in the share price of the Company's Class A Stock over recent periods has been significantly above the Company’s historical experience, and has resulted in a significant negative impact upon current earnings. Because OARs are remeasured at fair value each reporting period, future changes in the market price of Class A Stock, expected volatility and other valuation assumptions may result in potentially significant increases or decreases in future compensation expense

The liability related to our OARs obligations was $95.0 million and $49.3 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. In the third quarter of 2026, the Company included $21.0 million, compared with $13.5 million in the prior year period, in compensation expense in its consolidated income statements relating to OARs awards. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company included $68.1 million, compared with $19.0 million for the same period in the prior year, in compensation expense in its consolidated income statements relating to OARs awards. Management also evaluates operating performance excluding the impact of OARs-related compensation expense. See "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for further discussion and a reconciliation of adjusted results.

The following table summarizes the status of the Company's outstanding OARs awards as of September 30, 2026:


Grant Date	Number of OARs Outstanding	Strike Price		Remaining Contractual Life	Fair value as of September 30, 2026
January 7, 2022	529,727	$	49.57	98 days	$	68.73
January 6, 2023	455,140	45.33		1.3 years	74.30

January 9, 2026 (1)	353,840	73.97		4.3 years	58.94
Total OARs outstanding	2,376,087
Total weighted average values		$	54.52	3.0 years	$	68.72

(1) In January 2026, management revised the methodology for determining OARs grants, which resulted in a lower number of OARs granted.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company included certain non-GAAP financial measures within Management's Discussion and Analysis 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 compensation expense related to the recurring, mark-to-market re-measurement of cash-settled, 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 (OPY) price. Because these awards are remeasured each period, the amount of expense recognized primarily reflects movements in the Company’s share price rather than operating decisions made by management or the underlying performance of the Company’s businesses, and can vary significantly from period to period without a corresponding change in the Company’s operations.

The non-GAAP measures presented also exclude the expense associated with the settlement of the class action “cash sweep” litigation in the first quarter of 2026 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.

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 Company. 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. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, the analysis of the Company’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently, which may limit their usefulness for comparative purposes. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following tables reconcile our non-GAAP financial measures to their respective U.S. GAAP measures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Reference is also made to the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto found in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company's accounting policies are important to understanding and interpreting its financial condition and results of operations. The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are summarized in Note 2 to those statements and the notes thereto found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Certain of those policies are considered to be particularly important to the presentation of the Company's financial results because they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were no material changes to the Company's critical accounting estimates and assumptions from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The following Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has not yet been adopted by the Company:

ASU 2024-03 – Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

The FASB issued this ASU in November of 2024 that will require public business entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses, including employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization at each interim and annual reporting period. The new guidance, which becomes effective for the Company beginning in 2027, will not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations because it requires only additional disclosures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2026, total assets increased by 9.8% from December 31, 2025. The Company satisfies its need for financing from internally generated funds and collateralized and uncollateralized borrowings, consisting primarily of bank call loans, stock loans, and uncommitted lines of credit. We finance our trading in government securities through the use of securities sold under repurchase agreements. Oppenheimer has uncommitted arrangements with banks for borrowings on a fully collateralized basis. The amount of Oppenheimer's bank borrowings fluctuates in response to changes in the level of the Company's securities inventories and customer margin debt, changes in notes receivable from employees, investment in furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements, and changes in stock loan balances and financing through repurchase agreements. At September 30, 2026, the Company had an outstanding bank call loan balance of $222.3 million compared to $76.8 million at December 31, 2025. The Company also has some availability of uncommitted short-term bank financing on an unsecured basis.

The Company's overseas subsidiaries, Oppenheimer Europe Ltd. and Oppenheimer Investments Asia Limited, are subject to local regulatory capital requirements that restrict our ability to utilize their capital for other purposes. The regulatory capital requirements for Oppenheimer Europe Ltd. and Oppenheimer Investments Asia Limited were $8.5 million and $382,320, respectively, at September 30, 2026. The liquid assets at Oppenheimer Europe Ltd. are primarily comprised of cash deposits in bank accounts. The liquid assets at Oppenheimer Investments Asia Limited are primarily comprised of investments in U.S. Treasuries and cash deposits in bank accounts. Any transfer of these liquid assets from Oppenheimer Europe Ltd. and Oppenheimer Investments Asia Limited to the Company or its other subsidiaries would be limited by regulatory capital requirements.

The Company permanently reinvests eligible earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and, accordingly, does not accrue any U.S. income taxes that would arise if these earnings were repatriated. The unrecognized deferred tax liability associated with the outside basis difference of its foreign subsidiaries is estimated at $4.3 million for those subsidiaries. We have continued to reinvest permanently the excess earnings of Oppenheimer Israel (OPCO) Ltd. in its own business and in the businesses in

Europe and Asia to support business initiatives in those regions. We will continue to review our historical treatment of these earnings to determine whether our historical practice will continue or whether a change is warranted.

Liquidity

For the most part, the Company's assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and assets that it can readily convert into cash. The receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations represent deposits for securities borrowed transactions, margin deposits and current transactions awaiting settlement. The receivables from customers represent margin balances and amounts due on transactions awaiting settlement. Our receivables are, for the most part, collateralized by marketable securities. Our collateral maintenance policies and procedures are designed to limit our exposure to credit risk. Securities owned are mainly comprised of actively traded readily marketable securities. We issued $4.2 million in forgivable notes, net of notes forgiven or written off (which are inherently illiquid) to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2026 ($5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025) as upfront or backend inducements to commence or continue employment as the case may be. The amount of funds allocated to such inducements will vary with hiring activity and retention initiatives.

We satisfy our liquidity needs through internally generated funds and a diversified funding strategy that includes collateralized and uncollateralized bank borrowings, securities lending arrangements and repurchase agreements. Bank borrowings are uncommitted in nature and, in most cases, collateralized by firm and customer securities.

We obtain short-term borrowings primarily through bank call loans, securities loaned and repurchase transactions. Bank call loans are generally payable on demand, uncommitted in nature and bear interest at various rates. At September 30, 2026, the Company had $222.3 million of bank call loans ($76.8 million at December 31, 2025). The average daily bank loan balance outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $221.9 million and $189.8 million, respectively ($235.6 million and $279.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively). The largest daily bank loan balance outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $447.2 million ($373.7 million and $491.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively).

In connection with both its trading and brokerage activities, Oppenheimer borrows securities to cover short sales and to complete transactions in which customers have failed to deliver securities by the required settlement date and lends securities to other brokers and dealers for similar purposes. Oppenheimer earns interest on its cash collateral provided and pays interest on the cash collateral received less a rebate earned for lending securities.

At September 30, 2026, securities loan balances totaled $539.7 million ($370.3 million at December 31, 2025 and $286.7 million at September 30, 2025). The average daily securities loan balances outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $544.9 million and $467.3 million ($379.8 million and $384.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively). The largest daily stock loan balances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $615.9 million ($435.8 million and $502.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively).

We finance our government trading operations through the use of securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, primarily involving government and agency securities, are carried at amounts at which securities subsequently will be resold or reacquired as specified in the respective agreements and include accrued interest.

Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are presented on a net-by-counterparty basis, when the repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are executed with the same counterparty, have the same explicit settlement date, are executed in accordance with a master netting arrangement, the securities underlying the repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements exist in "book entry" form and certain other requirements are met.

At September 30, 2026, the gross balances of reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements were $130.5 million and $1,152.1 million, respectively. The following table presents the average daily balance and the largest outstanding balance of reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements on a gross basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025.

Liquidity Management

We manage our need for liquidity on a daily basis to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Our liquidity needs may be affected by market conditions, increased inventory positions or trading activity, business expansion or contraction, clearinghouse margin requirements and other unanticipated occurrences. In the event that existing financial resources do not satisfy our liquidity needs, we may have to seek additional external financing. The availability of such additional external financing may depend on market factors outside our control. Management believes that the Company maintained sufficient liquidity throughout the period and remains well positioned to meet its regulatory, operational and contractual obligations.

We have company-owned life insurance policies which are utilized to fund certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans. A portion of the assets underlying these policies are invested in mutual funds that match those offered within the deferred compensation plans. As such, increases in deferred compensation costs recognized within Compensation and related expenses may be offset to a degree by increases in the cash surrender value of the Company-owned life insurance policies recognized within Other revenue and vice versa. Certain policies which could provide additional liquidity if needed had a cash surrender value of $116.2 million as of September 30, 2026.

We regularly review our sources of liquidity and financing and conduct internal stress analysis to determine the impact on the Company of events that could remove sources of liquidity or financing and to plan actions the Company could take in the case of such an eventuality. Our reviews have resulted in a contingency funding plan that we believe would result in a reduction of assets through liquidation that would significantly reduce the Company's need for external financing.

Our primary long-term cash requirements include $171.4 million of operating lease obligations. The total cash requirement for operating lease obligations is estimated to be approximately $11.2 million for the remainder of 2026. Subsequent to September 30, 2026, the Company completed a portion of an additional investment in a financial technologies company in which it currently holds a noncontrolling ownership interest. The investment is in a company which provides substantial amounts of operating software utilized in Oppenheimer’s clearing operations. It is believed that the business offers substantial growth potential by providing essential software to banks and broker-dealers at compelling value.

Under the transaction structure, in October 2026, the Company invested C$1.0 million ($0.7 million) directly in the investee through the purchase of newly issued shares and purchased approximately C$7.3 million ($5.2 million) of shares directly from certain existing shareholders in connection with a general offer to provide liquidity to long-term holders. The investee acted as the Company's agent in administering the purchases from existing shareholders. A second closing is expected to occur in January 2027, pursuant to which the Company expects to purchase approximately C$338,000 of additional shares directly from existing shareholders, funded using available cash resources. The transactions will result in a significant increase in the Company's ownership interest, to approximately 44%. Depending on the ultimate ownership interest acquired and related governance rights, completion of the transactions could result in consolidation of the investee. The ultimate amount invested and resulting ownership interest remain subject to completion of the second closing and other applicable conditions. Based on the Company's current liquidity position, available cash resources and capital levels, management does not expect completion of the remaining transaction to have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or financial condition.

Corporate Headquarters

In October 2026, the Company elected not to exercise its renewal option for its existing corporate headquarters at 85 Broad Street in New York City and will therefore need to relocate its headquarters upon expiration of the existing lease in February 2028. The Company is currently in advanced negotiations for a lease for a new corporate headquarters in New York City. The proposed premises are expected to have a smaller footprint than the Company’s existing headquarters, with occupancy costs expected to be generally consistent with those of the existing headquarters. If an agreement is reached, the Company currently expects to occupy the new premises in phases beginning in 2028.

The potential lease remains subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, and there can be no assurance that a lease will be entered into on the terms currently contemplated or at all. If completed, the relocation is expected to require significant capital expenditures and result in the recognition of a material right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability. The Company expects to fund its anticipated capital requirements from existing liquidity and cash generated from operations and does not currently expect the potential lease to have a material adverse effect on its liquidity or capital resources.

Management believes that funds from operations, combined with our capital base and available credit facilities, are sufficient for our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. Under some circumstances, banks including those on whom we rely may back away from providing funding to the securities industry. Such a development might impact our ability to finance our day-to-day activities or increase the costs to acquire funding. We may or may not be able to pass such increased funding costs on to our clients.

During periods of high volatility, we may see increased calls for deposits of collateral to offset perceived risk between the Company's settlement liability to industry clearinghouses such as the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”) and National Securities Clearing Corp. (“NSCC”) as well as more stringent collateral arrangements with our bank lenders. The U.S. securities industry currently operates under a T+1 settlement cycle, which has generally reduced settlement exposures and related operational risks. All such requirements have been and will be met in the ordinary course with available collateral or short-term borrowings.

CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity presents significant challenges to the business community in general, including to the financial services industry. Increasingly, bad actors, both domestic and international, attempt to steal personal data and/or interrupt the normal functioning of businesses through accessing individuals' and companies' files and equipment connected to the internet. The arrival of A.I. has made it easier for such actors to launch and successfully effectuate their desire to impact business operations or steal monetary assets. Recent incidents have reflected the increasing sophistication of intruders and their intent to steal personally identifiable information as well as funds and securities. These intruders sometimes use instructions that are seemingly from authorized parties but, in fact are from entities intent on attempting to steal. In other instances, these intruders attempt to bypass normal safeguards and disrupt or steal significant amounts of information and then either release it to the Internet or hold it for ransom. Regulators are increasingly requiring companies to provide heightened levels of defense. The Company maintains processes and systems with an aim to preventing any such attack from disrupting its services to clients as well as to prevent any loss of client or Company funds or data concerning its clients, their financial affairs, as well as Company-privileged information.

Table of Contents

Our management is actively involved in the oversight of our cybersecurity risk management program. We have devoted significant financial and personnel resources to implement and maintain security measures to meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations. We have incorporated cybersecurity processes to assess, identify and manage risks from cybersecurity threats into our overall risk assessment process. The Company maintains a cybersecurity program that is designed to identify, protect from, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity threats and risks, and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its information systems, including the information residing on such systems. The National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework helps the Company inform its cybersecurity agenda and prioritize its cybersecurity activities. The Company takes a risk-based approach to cybersecurity, which begins with the identification and evaluation of cybersecurity risks or threats that could affect the Company’s operations, finances, legal or regulatory compliance, or reputation. The Company has processes in place for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats along with risk assessment procedures designed to allow such processes to remain responsive to emerging risks. Our processes include, but are not limited to, the following:

•we engage third-party cybersecurity firms and tools to assist with network monitoring, endpoint protection, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing;

•we engage cyber security consultants and auditors to perform tabletop exercises and evaluate our cyber processes including an assessment of our incident response procedures. Identified risks are formally tracked until mitigated or eliminated;

•we perform regular scanning of our systems to identify and resolve critical vulnerabilities;

•we provide periodic training and testing, including phishing tests, to help our employees understand cybersecurity risks and their responsibility in mitigating those risks; and

•we insure against potential losses from cyber incidents by maintaining cybersecurity insurance.

We have a written incident response plan that identifies the steps to be taken in response to a cybersecurity incident that includes investigation, escalation and remediation provisions. The Incident Response Plan includes processes for reporting and escalating cybersecurity incidents to senior management, regulators and criminal enforcement to the extent warranted.

We have processes to evaluate third party service providers and vendors that have access to sensitive systems and Company and customer data, which includes the use of cybersecurity questionnaires and due diligence procedures such as assessments of that service provider’s cybersecurity posture.

Management’s Role

Management has implemented risk management structures, policies and procedures, and manages our risk exposure on a day-to-day basis. The Company has a dedicated cybersecurity organization within its technology department that focuses on current and emerging cybersecurity matters. The Company’s cybersecurity function is led by the Company’s Chief Information Officer ("CIO") and the Company’s Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO"), who reports to the Company’s CIO. The CIO and his direct reports, including the CISO, discuss action items related to risks at a standing monthly meeting. Risk reporting is provided at monthly meetings of the Company's cross-business Cybersecurity Committee and periodic presentations to the Company’s Risk Management Committee, at which many members of the Company’s senior management are present.

The CEO meets regularly with the CIO to discuss cybersecurity threats and existing and potentially new technology systems including those related to cybersecurity. The CIO and CISO have a standing monthly meeting with the CEO and General Counsel to discuss potential vulnerabilities in the cyber environment.

Board Oversight

The Board of Directors, both directly and through the Audit Committee, oversees management’s responsibility of ensuring proper functioning of our cybersecurity risk management program. In particular, the Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of management’s responsibility to assess, manage and mitigate cybersecurity risks. Each of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee includes a member with significant cybersecurity experience. The Audit Committee receives a cybersecurity update at each regular meeting of the Board covering cybersecurity risks, cybersecurity staffing and staff development including certifications and training. These updates are given either in person by the CIO and CISO or in written presentations created by them.

As of the date of this filing, the Company has not identified any cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably anticipated to have a material effect on the Company’s business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.

Table of Contents

Although the Company has not experienced cybersecurity incidents that are individually, or in the aggregate, material, the Company has experienced cyberattacks in the past, which the Company believes have thus far been mitigated by preventative, detective, and responsive measures put in place by the Company. Given the continuing reports of cyber incidents in general, we believe that the Company will most likely continue to be a target of cybersecurity attacks by bad actors.

For additional information on how risks from cybersecurity threats may adversely affect the Company, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

REGULATORY AND TAXATION MATTERS AND DEVELOPMENTS

See the discussion of the regulatory environment in which we operate and the impact on our operations of certain rules and regulations in Item 1 “Business - Regulation” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for additional information.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Oppenheimer and many of its affiliates are each subject to various regulatory capital requirements. As of September 30, 2026, all of our active regulated domestic and international subsidiaries had net capital in excess of minimum requirements. See Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for further information on regulatory capital requirements.

Limitations on Tax Deductions for Compensation Paid to Certain Executives and Officers

Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) ("Section 162(m)") currently limits a public company's tax deduction for compensation above $1 million paid to "covered employees," which includes the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the next three highest paid officers. Amendments to Section 162(m) included in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which become effective on January 1, 2027, expand the definition of "covered employees" to include five additional highly compensated employees who are not otherwise covered under the existing rules.

If there are no further changes or amendments to Section 162(m), or if the definition of "covered employees" is further expanded, we expect the Company's operating results to be adversely impacted due to anticipated increases in the Company's income tax expense and effective tax rate. Based on our current assessment of compensation arrangements and employee populations that would be subject to the expanded definition of covered employees, had the amendments been effective during fiscal 2025, we estimate that the resulting reduction in deductible compensation would have increased income tax expense by approximately $7 million. The actual impact beginning in 2027 will depend on future compensation levels, business performance, equity award vesting outcomes and other factors, and therefore could differ materially from this estimate.

Frequency of Reporting Requirements for Public Companies

The SEC has proposed rulemaking that would permit public companies, in certain circumstances, to file semiannual reports in lieu of quarterly reports on Form 10‑Q. The proposal is intended to provide issuers, including the Company, with greater flexibility in determining the frequency of interim reporting. If adopted, the proposed changes could affect the timing and content of the Company’s periodic reporting obligations. The Company currently intends to continue reporting results on a quarterly basis subject to its review of any final rule and any related regulatory requirements.

Current Filer Status and Proposed SEC Amendments to Issuer Status and Disclosure Requirements

As of the June 30, 2026 measurement date for determining SEC filer status, the Company’s public float exceeded the $700 million threshold for large accelerated filer classification for the first time. As a result, under currently applicable SEC rules, the Company would be deemed a large accelerated filer for purposes of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, to be filed in February 2027. Compared to accelerated filer status, large accelerated filer status is subject to more stringent reporting requirements, including a shorter deadline for the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K.

On May 19, 2026, the SEC proposed amendments to the definitions of filer status and related disclosure requirements, which, if adopted, could affect the classification of certain issuers, including the Company, as well as the timing, content and extent of their periodic reporting and proxy-related disclosures. Depending on the scope and timing of any final rules, these amendments could alter the thresholds or criteria applicable to the Company and, as a result, may change the Company’s filer status and related reporting obligations that would otherwise apply under current rules. The proposed amendments could result in

Table of Contents

modifications to the Company’s financial reporting requirements, internal control over financial reporting obligations and the scope and timing of proxy disclosures. As a result, such changes could impact compliance costs, resource allocation and reporting processes. As the rulemaking process remains ongoing, the ultimate impact of any final rules on the Company will depend on the scope and timing of adoption. The Company continues to monitor developments and assess the potential implications for its reporting and compliance processes.

FACTORS AFFECTING "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS"

From time to time, the Company may publish or make oral statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may relate to such matters as anticipated financial performance, future revenue, earnings, liabilities or expenses, business prospects, projected ventures, new products, anticipated market performance, and similar matters. The Company cautions readers 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, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, include, but are not limited to: (i) transaction volume in the securities markets, including the level of retail trading activity and investment banking, underwriting and advisory activity, (ii) the volatility of the securities markets and changes in the value of client assets under management and administration, (iii) changes in interest rates, (iv) changes in regulatory requirements or taxation policy that could affect the cost and method of doing business, (v) general economic conditions, both domestic and international, including inflation, recession, stagflation, and changes in consumer confidence and spending, (vi) competition from existing financial institutions, new entrants and other participants in the securities markets and financial services industry, (vii) potential cybersecurity threats and attacks, (viii) legal developments affecting the litigation experience of the securities industry and the Company, (ix) changes in foreign, federal and state tax laws that could affect the popularity of products sold by the Company or impose taxes on securities transactions, (x) the adoption and implementation of the SEC’s “Regulation Best Interest” and other regulations adopted in recent years, (xi) war, terrorist acts, geopolitical conflicts, political unrest and international sanctions, including developments in the Middle East, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, disruptions to global energy markets, trade routes and supply chains, and related impacts on commodity prices, inflation and financial markets, (xii) the Company’s ability to achieve its business plan and to attract and retain key personnel, including financial advisors, (xiii) the effects of the economy on the Company’s ability to find and maintain financing options and liquidity, (xiv) credit, operational, legal and regulatory risks, (xv) risks related to foreign operations, (xvi) the effect of technological innovation, evolving market structure developments and changes in client expectations on the financial services industry and securities business, including risks associated with the development, adoption and use of artificial intelligence, digital assets and tokenization initiatives, (xvii) risks related to election results, Congressional gridlock, political and social unrest, government shutdowns and investigations, government spending, inflation, immigration, tariffs, trade policy changes and trade disputes, bank failures, changes in or uncertainty surrounding regulation, and the potential for default by the U.S. government on the nation's debt, (xviii) risks related to changes in capital requirements under international standards that may cause banks to back away from providing funding to the securities industry, (xix) economic, market, political and social impact of, and uncertainty relating to, any catastrophic events, including pandemics, epidemics or other outbreaks of disease, climate-related risks such as natural disasters and extreme weather events, and (xx) volatility in the price of the Company's Class A Stock, which directly affects compensation expense associated with the Company’s liability-based stock appreciation rights and other stock price-linked incentive compensation programs, and the timing and extent to which changes to such programs reduce that expense. There can be no assurance that the Company has correctly or completely identified and assessed all of the factors affecting the Company's business. See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a–15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or omission. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost–effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

The Company confirms that its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed or furnished under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
