| The prolonged slump in investment banking and origination resulted in less-than-expected new issue and advisory revenues during the quarter |
| First quarter '23 principal transactions and other revenue was negative $2.3 million |
| Our investment portfolio continues to impact our results as our combined negative principal transaction revenue and loss from equity method affiliates amounted to $3 million for the quarter |
| Net trading revenue came in at $8.2 million in the first quarter, down $1.4 million from the fourth quarter and $3.8 million from the first quarter of '22 |
| The negative principal transactions and other revenue was primarily due to mark-to-market adjustments on our principal investments related to our involvement in the SPAC market as a sponsor, asset manager and investor, which has resulted in increased holdings of public equity positions in post-business combination companies |
| The decrease from both of the prior quarters was due primarily to lower trading revenue from our mortgage group |
| New issue and advisory revenue was $0.9 million in the first quarter, a decrease of $3.3 million from the fourth quarter and $2.9 million from the year ago quarter |
| Thus, the total equity, excluding the nonconvertible noncontrolling interest component was $82.2 million at the end of the quarter and $11.8 million decrease from $94 million at the end of 2022 |
| Compensation and benefits expense for the quarter was $10.5 million, which was up from the prior quarter and down from the prior year quarter, primarily due to fluctuations in revenue and variable incentive compensation |
| Our net loss attributable to Cohen & Company Inc |
| Our adjusted pretax loss was $9.6 million for the quarter compared to adjusted pretax loss of $6.1 million for the prior quarter and adjusted pretax loss of $18.6 million for the prior-year quarter |
