Dominari Q1 Revenue Increases by 395% Over Q1 2025
PR Newswire
NEW YORK, May 13, 2026
Underwriting revenues increased over five-fold
NEW YORK, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dominari Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: DOMH) (“Dominari” or the “Company”), today announced highlights of its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the Company’s quarterly SEC Form 10Q.
The Company stated that: “In the first quarter of 2026, we experienced continued revenue growth mainly from underwriting services, increased our annual recurring revenue from our management fees that we earn on deals that we bring to market from essentially nil 18 months ago to over $1 million, and currently retain carried interest positions in some exciting emerging companies that we believe will yield positive returns over the course of the next 24 months.” While the net income reflects one-time, non-recurring expenses for Q1 2026, we believe that the margins we expect from our core business for the balance of the year, will result in improved operating income and bottom-line performance.” The Company concluded, “the leadership team on our broker dealer subsidiary, led by Kyle Wool, continues to deliver world class investment banking services to our ever-growing list of clients, and we believe that will yield continued improved performance for the future.”
First Quarter 2026 Highlights
- Revenue of $35.8 million, up 395% from the prior year’s first quarter’s revenue of $7.2 million.
- Underwriting revenues totaled $32.9 million in Q1 2026 as compared to $5.6 million for Q1 2025, representing a 488% increase.
- Carried interest totaled $1.1 million as compared to no such revenue in Q1 2025.
- The Company’s annual recurring revenue (ARR) increased to $1.1 million from $0.4 million at the end of Q1 2025, reflecting an increase of 189%.
- Loss from operations of $37.6 million, an increase of $4.7 million compared to a loss of $32.9 million in the comparable period in 2025, reflecting increased one-time variable expenses in the quarter.
- Other expense of $6.8 million as compared to other income of $0.4 million in Q1 2025. This book loss was primarily driven by the sale of the Company’s strategic investment in American Bitcoin Corp. shares in January 2026 for $32.4 million in cash that were valued on the books at $39.4 million based upon the trading value of such shares at year end 2025. Note that the Company’s investment totaled just $100.
- Net loss to common stockholders of $57.4 million, an increase of $24.9 million compared to a net loss of $32.5 million in 2024. This increased net loss to common stockholders reflects the above noted one-time expenses in the quarter along with $12.9 million of tax expense recognized in Q1 2026 against no tax provision for the comparable quarter in 2025.
- Excluding the $19.3 million non-cash stock-based compensation, the non-GAAP adjusted net loss to common stockholders was $38.1 million in the quarter.
- In May 2026, the Company declared a $9.0 million dividend to be paid on or about May 29, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2026, continuing the Company’s continued commitment to reward its shareholder base.
- As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s liquid assets (defined as: “cash, marketable securities, securities owned and receivable from clearing brokers”) totaled $67.4 million at the end of Q1 2026, working capital totaled $21.9 million, total assets were $85.3 million and total stockholders’ equity was $31.6 million.
