Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 5, 2016, B. Riley Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Original Release”) reporting its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016. A copy of the press release was attached to the originally filed version of this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. Subsequent to the issuance of the Original Release, the Company discovered that the Original Release had inadvertently omitted the Company’s estimated adjusted EBITDA results for the seven month period ended July 31, 2016. As a result, the Company issued a revised press release (the “Revised Release”) reporting its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016 as well as its estimated adjusted EBITDA for the seven month period ended July 31, 2016. The Revised Release supersedes and replaces the Original Release in its entirety. The Revised Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

The information set forth in this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section. The information in this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto, shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing to this Current Report.
