Heritage Global Inc. (NASDAQ: HGBL) (“Heritage Global,” “HG” or “the Company”), an asset services company specializing in financial and industrial asset transactions, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Summary of Financial Results (unaudited):

Second Quarter 2025 Review:

• The Company recorded operating income of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to operating income of $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2024.
• EBITDA totaled $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 versus EBITDA of $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2024, and Adjusted EBITDA was $2.6 million compared to $4.0 million in the prior-year quarter.
• Net income was $1.6 million or $0.05 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $2.5 million or $0.07 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter.
• The Company had net working capital of $16.4 million at June 30, 2025 as compared to working capital of $18.5 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in net working capital was primarily the result of the acquisition of a new corporate headquarters, ongoing share repurchases, and an opportunistic investment in the purchase of a complete pharmaceutical plant in the first quarter of 2025.
• The Company repurchased 744,424 shares in the open market during the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 for a total of $1.6 million, or an average cost of $2.13 per share. On July 31, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $7.5 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock over a three-year period ending on June 30, 2028.

Ross Dove, Chief Executive Officer of Heritage Global commented, “Our solid second quarter results reflect strong operational execution across the business and continued the momentum we began to see late in the first quarter. As expected, we saw a healthy volume of auction activity in tandem with robust asset pricing levels for both the auction and resale businesses. Furthermore, operating income in the financial segment meaningfully increased sequentially compared to the first quarter, demonstrating the strength of the segment as we continue to add quality portfolios in the brokerage business.

“Our cash position is strong, which allowed us to repurchase 744,424 shares during the quarter, in-keeping with our commitment to support our share buyback program, and we continue to evaluate strategic M&A opportunities. As we move through the second half of the year, we’ll continue to execute on our strategic vision to drive continued growth, profitability, and shareholder value,” Mr. Dove concluded.

Definitions and Disclosures Regarding non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company defines EBITDA as net income/loss plus depreciation and amortization, interest and other expense, and provision for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA reflects EBITDA adjusted further to eliminate the effects of stock-based compensation. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in assessing the Company’s results, evaluating the Company’s performance and in reaching operating and strategic decisions. Management believes that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, when considered together with our GAAP financial statements and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is useful in providing investors a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the underlying performance of the Company on a historical and ongoing basis. The Company’s use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be, and should not be, considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, any GAAP financial measure. You should carefully evaluate the financial information, below, which reconciles our GAAP reported net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented (in thousands).
