FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hennessy Advisors, Inc. Reports Quarterly Earnings

and Announces Quarterly Dividend

August 5, 2026, Novato, CA - Hennessy Advisors, Inc. (Nasdaq:HNNA) reported results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026, and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share to be paid on September 3, 2026, to shareholders of record as of August 20, 2026. The dividend represents an annualized yield of 6.1%.*

“The U.S. stock market has delivered solid performance over the first half of 2026. I believe the market is trading on fundamentally positive information – strong corporate earnings as well as employment and wage growth – as opposed to any AI ‘hype.’ It is no longer primarily the Magnificent 7 driving market growth. Instead, we are seeing small and midcap growth and value stocks participating in the market’s advance,” said Neil Hennessy, Chairman and CEO. “I believe the shift in sentiment bodes well for long-term market performance. While interest rates may be higher than we had hoped, and geopolitical strain continues on a global level, I believe the underlying fundamentals continue to support measured growth, and I’m hopeful that we close out 2026 with another year of positive market returns,” he added.

“This quarter, we made the decision to redeem our notes payable of $40.25 million six months ahead of the maturity date of December 31, 2026,” said Teresa Nilsen, President and COO. “That decision reflects our assessment of current interest rates, our available cash position, and our analysis of short-term capital needs.”

“We are pleased to report a 4% increase in revenue driven by higher assets under management year-over-year,” she continued. “While the early redemption of our notes payable reduced earnings in the current quarter due to the accelerated recognition of financing costs, our net cash position increased 18% from the prior year to more than $35 million. We believe our balance sheet remains a competitive advantage, allowing us to pursue strategic acquisition opportunities while continuing to return capital to our shareholders through a dividend.”

Summary Highlights (compared to the prior comparable quarter ended June 30, 2025):

●

Total revenue of $8.4 million, an increase of 4%.

●

Net income of $2.0 million, a decrease of 6%, primarily attributable to the early redemption of debt.

●

Fully diluted earnings per share of $0.25, a decrease of 4%.

●

Average assets under management, upon which revenue is earned, of $4.3 billion, an increase of 4%.

●

Total assets under management of $4.4 billion, an increase of 3%.

●

Cash and cash equivalents, net of gross debt, of $35.4 million, an increase of 18%.
