Siebert Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: SIEB) (“Siebert”), a provider of financial services, today announced great results for the first quarter of 2021, reporting revenue of $18.9 million, an increase of 28% from the first quarter of 2020. In addition, operating income was $3.0 million and basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.07.

Gloria E. Gebbia, controlling shareholder and board member of Siebert, commented on the results of the quarter saying, “We are incredibly excited about such a strong start to 2021. Our strategic acquisitions and initiatives have been driving growth and continue to impact our bottom line. Our investments in personnel and key areas of the business have yielded positive results and have more than offset any reduction in revenue associated with lower interest rates. We are seeing this play out in a huge way with our Securities Finance Group and market making division. We are on path towards a great year and are well-positioned to achieve even greater success going forward.”

Andrew Reich, CFO of Siebert, commented on Siebert’s performance during the quarter saying, “We had stellar results this quarter as operating income is on track to outpace the entire 2020 fiscal year by the second quarter of 2021. Despite the lower interest rate environment, our revenue increased by $4.1 million, or 28% from the prior year.

Our Securities Finance Group achieved revenue of $1.8 million, again beating its highest quarterly revenue due to the onboarding of key personnel and expansion of the stock loan functions. In addition, we have implemented cost saving measures such as reducing our occupancy expenses which are just starting to impact our bottom line.”

Expansion of Clearing Operations

Siebert has also implemented initiatives to enhance its clearing capabilities and provide additional services to clients, corporate services companies, and counterparties. By the fourth quarter of 2021, Siebert is planning to offer clearing services to introducing firms to clear their business through MSCO.
