  • Consulting and advisory fees of $2.6 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2026, a decrease of 31% from the same period in 2025

  • Other income, net of $308.4 million for the third quarter of 2026, an increase of 481% from 2025

WHITE PLAINS, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 14, 2026 / FRMO Corp. (the "Company" or "FRMO") (OTCID:FRMO) reported its financial results for the fiscal year 2026 third quarter ended February 28, 2026.

FRMO's total book value as of February 28, 2026 was $795.2 million. Excluding the non-controlling interests, equity attributable to shareholders was $376.7 million ($8.56 per share). This compares with total book value at the prior fiscal year end on May 31, 2025 of $617.8 million. Excluding the non-controlling interests, equity attributable to shareholders was $319.6 million ($7.26 per share) at May 31, 2025.

The Company's consulting and advisory fees decreased during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to fees earned from its royalty participation with Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation. HKHC recognized significant incentive fees during the Company's three and nine months ended February 28, 2025.

Current assets, comprised primarily of cash and cash equivalents, amounted to $46.3 million as of February 28, 2026, and $46.3 million as of May 31, 2025. Total liabilities were $124.3 million as of February 28, 2026, and $95.6 million as of May 31, 2025, comprised primarily of deferred taxes and securities sold, not yet purchased.

FRMO's net income attributable to the Company for the quarter ended February 28, 2026 was $83.4 million ($1.89 per diluted share), compared to a net loss of $23.7 million ($0.54 per diluted share) a year earlier. The equity security investment that primarily accounts for the net income is identified as Investment A in Note 4 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Investment Concentration.

For the nine months ended February 28, 2026, FRMO's net income attributable to the Company was $56.9 million ($1.29 per diluted share), compared to net income of $121.3 million ($2.76 per diluted share) a year earlier.

Net income attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain or loss from equity securities and digital assets net of taxes for the three months ended February 28, 2026 was $16.9 million ($0.38 per diluted share) compared to a net loss of $9.2 million ($0.21 per diluted share) for the three months ended February 28, 2025. The nine-month figures, as of the same end dates, are net income of $6.0 million ($0.14 per diluted share) in 2026 compared to net income of $48.8 million ($1.11 per diluted share) in 2025.

Net income or loss attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain or loss from equity securities and digital assets net of taxes is a measure not based on GAAP and is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in "Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures" at the end of this release.

Valuation of securities and digital assets are subject to change after February 28, 2026. The market value of several securities and digital assets might have changed substantially since that date. We look forward to finding new ways to expand our digital assets mining operations.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FRMO Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company"). As of February 28, 2026 and May 31, 2025, the Company held a 21.77% and 21.82% equity interest in Horizon Kinetics Hard Assets LLC ("HKHA"), a company formed by Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation ("HKHC") or ("Horizon") and certain officers, principal stockholders and directors of the Company. The Company owns 4.42% of HKHC and earns substantially all of its advisory fees from HKHC (see Note 4 - Investments). Due to the common control and ownership between HKHA and the Company's principal stockholders and directors, HKHA has been consolidated within the Company's financial statements. The noncontrolling interest of 78.23% and 78.12% in HKHA has been eliminated from results of operations for the periods ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025. Total stockholders' equity includes, as a separate item, the amount attributable to the noncontrolling interests.

Further details are available in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025. These statements have been filed on the OTC Markets Group Disclosure and News Services, which may be accessed at www.otcmarkets.com/stock/FRMO/filings. These documents are also available on the FRMO website at www.frmocorp.com.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

Net income or loss attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain or loss from equity securities and digital assets is net income or loss attributable to the Company exclusive of unrealized gains or losses from equity securities and digital assets, net of tax. Net income or loss attributable to the Company is the GAAP measure most closely comparable to net income attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain or loss from equity securities and digital assets.

Management uses net income or loss attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain or loss from equity securities and digital assets, along with other measures, to gauge the Company's performance and evaluate results, which can be skewed when including unrealized gain or loss from equity securities and digital assets, which may vary significantly between periods. Net income or loss attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain or loss from equity securities is provided as supplemental information, and is not a substitute for net income or loss attributable to the Company and does not reflect the Company's overall profitability.

The following table reconciles the net income or loss attributable to the Company excluding the effect of unrealized gain or loss from equity securities and digital assets to net income or loss attributable to the Company (in thousands) for the periods indicated:
