Management Commentary
"2024 was a pivotal year for Siebert, highlighted by strong financial performance and meaningful progress in expanding our capabilities," said Chairman and CEO John J. Gebbia. "We invested in talent and launched new business lines—including investment banking, capital markets, and media and entertainment—to enhance our long-term value proposition. Our focus remains on disciplined execution and innovation across both our legacy and newly launched offerings. With the right leadership in place and a clear strategic direction, we are well-positioned to build on this momentum in 2025 and beyond."
Andrew Reich, CFO of Siebert, added: "We delivered strong results in 2024, with revenue growing 17% to $83.9 million, driven by an increase in commissions and fees, stock borrow/stock loan, and interest revenues. Operating income decreased slightly, driven by an increase in personnel costs in 2024 related to new business lines and key initiatives. Siebert remains in a strong financial position and in 2025 has been making strategic investments in personnel and new initiatives for future growth and expansion."
