About this update from Heritage Global Inc.

SAN DIEGO, May 08, 2025 --( BUSINESS WIRE )-- 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2025. First Quarter 2025 Summary of Financial Results (unaudited): First Quarter 2025 Review: Heritage Global Chief Executive Officer Ross Dove commented, "Our first quarter results delivered a solid start to the year, with continued profitability and a strong balance sheet. Heritage remains well positioned in the current economic environment which is driving an increased level of equipment and asset auctions as well as increases in charged off credit cards and non-performing consumer loans. 2025 got off to a slower start than we anticipated, however our pipeline grew throughout the quarter with a particularly strong March, positioning us well for our expectation of sequential improvement in Q2 and increasing confidence in a strong 2025. Our balance sheet includes a sufficient amount of available cash and net working capital of almost $15 million, providing us the flexibility to pursue our M&A strategy as well as to opportunistically stay active in our share buyback program." Brian Cobb, Chief Financial officer, stated, "During the quarter, along with certain partners, Heritage Global Partners entered into a purchase agreement for a pharmaceutical plant and its associated equipment assets in Huntsville, Alabama, and executed a lease agreement with the seller for both the plant and equipment assets. We believe this transaction will generate strong returns in line with historical performance, stemming from both lease agreements and the anticipated future sale of the equipment and building."

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).
