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 months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2026, the Company had $ 55.1 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 months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2026, the balance of defaulted notes was $ 3.3 million and the allowance for uncollectibles was $ 2.6 million. The allowance for uncollectibles consisted of $ 2.1 million related to defaulted notes balances (five years and older) and $ 0.5 million (under five years).
The following table presents the disaggregation of defaulted notes by year of default as of March 31, 2026:

4. Leases
The Company has operating leases for office space and equipment expiring at various dates through 2035. 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 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 March 31, 2026, the Company had right-of-use operating lease assets of $ 113.7 million (net of accumulated amortization of $ 143.4 million) which are comprised of real estate leases of $ 110.8 million (net of accumulated amortization of $ 141.4 million) and equipment leases of $ 2.9 million (net of accumulated amortization of $ 2.0 million). As of March 31, 2026, the Company had operating lease liabilities of $ 147.5 million which are comprised of real estate lease liabilities of $ 144.6 million and equipment lease liabilities of $ 2.9 million. The Company had no finance leases as of March 31, 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 March 31, 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 revenues by providing capital raising solutions for corporate clients through initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, equity-linked 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 $ 50.1 million and $ 72.8 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company had no significant impairments related to these receivables during the three months ended March 31, 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 the auction rate securities owned at the tender offer price and categorized them in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the illiquid nature of the securities and the period of time since the last tender offer. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 128,000 , of auction rate securities in Level 3 assets. The Company also 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 March 31, 2026, the Company had $ 2.2 million and $ 1.2 million of convertible note and warrants, respectively, in Level 3 assets. Additionally, the Company classified a $ 17.0 million equity security 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 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 296,000 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 based on an implied market-multiple approach and observable market data, including comparable company transactions. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of this investment was $ 6.1 million and $ 6.3 million, respectively, and was categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents
OPPENHEIMER HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
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 March 31, 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.

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 March 31, 2026, the outstanding balance of bank call loans was $ 287.9 million ($ 76.8 million as of December 31, 2025). As of March 31, 2026, such loans with commercial banks were collateralized by the Company's securities and customer securities with market values of approximately $ 27.4 million and $ 293.3 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $ 2.0 billion of customer securities under customer margin loans that are available to be pledged, of which the Company has re-pledged approximately $ 275.4 million under securities loan agreements.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had pledged $ 442.8 million of customer securities directly with the Options Clearing Corporation to secure obligations and margin requirements under option contracts written by customers.
As of March 31, 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 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 March 31, 2026, the fair value of securities received as collateral under securities borrowed transactions and reverse repurchase agreements was $ 158.9 million ($ 153.3 million as of December 31, 2025) and $ 193.9 million ($ 175.8 million as of December 31, 2025), respectively, of which the Company has sold and re-pledged approximately $ 43.7 million ($ 49.1 million as of December 31, 2025) under securities loaned transactions and $ 193.9 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2026 were receivables related to securities borrowed transactions from two major U.S. broker-dealers totaling approximately $ 60.4 million. Included in receivables from customers as of March 31, 2026 were fully secured margin loans from our two largest customer accounts totaling approximately $ 658.2 million, comprising 45.2 % 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 significant 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 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 the significant gains and losses of 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 March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 2026 was 23.8 % compared with 25.9 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and reflects the Company's annual estimate of the statutory federal and state tax rates adjusted for certain discrete items. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was impacted by a discrete legal charge recorded during the quarter.

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 May 1, 2026, the Company announced a quarterly dividend in the amount of $ 0.20 per share, payable on May 29, 2026 to holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock of record on May 15, 2026.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company had capital commitments of $ 0.7 million with respect to unfunded obligation in private equity funds sponsored by the Company and $ 9.8 million of commitments related to additional operating leases that have not yet commenced.
As of March 31, 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 March 31, 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
31
Table of Contents
OPPENHEIMER HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
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 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's complaint 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. Plaintiff alleges breaches of the terms and conditions of the ABD program and implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duties, violation of New York General Business Law (the “GBL”), negligence, negligent misrepresentations and unjust enrichment. On August 8, 2025, Oppenheimer filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on a number of grounds. On October 4, 2025, the court issued an order dismissing Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. and Oppenheimer Asset Management Inc. from the case, and granting in part, and denying in part, Oppenheimer’s motion to dismiss. Specifically, Oppenheimer's motion to dismiss plaintiff's causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty for non-advisory clients, unjust enrichment, negligence and negligent misrepresentation were granted, while the motion to dismiss causes of action for breach of the terms and conditions and implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty for advisory clients and violation of the GBL were denied. On October 21, 2025, plaintiff moved for class certification, which Oppenheimer opposed. On December 8, 2025, the 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, and violation of the GBL. The Court held that plaintiff did not have standing to assert a class claim for breach of fiduciary duty, but granted plaintiff leave to amend the complaint by December 22, 2025 to include a plaintiff with standing. Plaintiff did not amend its complaint. On December 22, 2025, Oppenheimer filed a petition for permission to appeal the decision granting class certification with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ("Court of Appeals"), which petition is currently pending. On March 30, 2026 Oppenheimer and plaintiff each filed a motion for summary judgment, which motions are currently pending. The case was scheduled for trial commencing in June 2026. Both the petition for permission to appeal and the motions for summary judgment are being held in abeyance by the Appeals Court and the District Court respectively, pending the approval of the settlement discussed below.
On April 24, 2026 the parties entered into a settlement of the litigation. The terms of the agreement are set forth in a binding term sheet executed by representatives for plaintiffs and Oppenheimer. Pursuant to the agreement, Oppenheimer has agreed to pay $ 70 million in full settlement of the claims asserted in the litigation. The settlement amount would be paid into an escrow account ten business days after receiving preliminary approval by the District Court of the settlement which the Company expects will take sixty to ninety days. The Settlement Agreement provides that the Company will receive a release from any and all claims arising from the facts and circumstances alleged in the litigation. The settlement remains subject to approval by the District Court. The parties have agreed to finalize formal settlement documentation and file a Stipulation of Settlement and motion for preliminary approval within 60 days of execution of the Settlement Agreement. The settlement contemplates that the resolution of the matter would be without any admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Company.
The agreement is subject to the negotiation, execution, and delivery of a definitive settlement agreement and both preliminary and final approval by the District Court. There can be no assurance that a definitive settlement agreement will be executed or that the District Court will approve the proposed settlement on its current or any other terms. If a definitive settlement agreement is executed and District Court approval is obtained, the settlement would resolve all claims asserted against the Company in the litigation. 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 March 31, 2026, the net capital of Oppenheimer
32
Table of Contents
OPPENHEIMER HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
as calculated under the Rule was $ 437.2 million or 26.28 % of Oppenheimer's aggregate debit items. This was $ 403.9 million in excess of the minimum required net capital at that date.
As of March 31, 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 157 % (required 56.0 %);
• Tier 1 Capital ratio 157 % (required 75.0 %); and
• Total Capital ratio 209 % (required 100.0 %).
As of March 31, 2026, Oppenheimer Europe Ltd. was in compliance with its regulatory requirements.
As of March 31, 2026, the regulatory capital of Oppenheimer Investments Asia Limited was $ 3.5 million, which was $ 3.1 million in excess of the $ 382,612 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 March 31, 2026, Oppenheimer Investments Asia Limited was in compliance with its regulatory requirements.
As of March 31, 2026, Oppenheimer Trust is required to maintain minimal capital of $ 4.15 million. Oppenheimer Trust 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.
