Key Terms

ebitda financial
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
View in glossary
adjusted ebitda financial
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
equity method investments financial
An equity method investment is an accounting approach used when a company owns a significant share of another company and can influence its decisions but does not fully control it; instead of listing the investment at cost, the investor records its share of the other company's profits or losses on its own income statement and adjusts the investment value on the balance sheet. For investors, this matters because it links the investor’s reported earnings and asset values directly to the financial performance of that partly-owned business, similar to how a partner’s gains affect a small business owner’s books.
noncash impairment charge financial
An accounting entry that reduces the recorded value of an asset without any cash leaving the company. It’s like crossing out an inflated price tag on the balance sheet because the asset won’t be worth as much as previously thought; the charge lowers reported profits and shareholders’ equity for the period but does not directly affect cash flow, so investors watch it to understand changes in asset quality and future earnings potential.

  1. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are commonly used non-GAAP financial measures utilized by management as a supplemental tool to evaluate the underlying operating performance of the Company on an ongoing basis and should be considered together with Heritage Global’s GAAP financial measures. Definitions and disclosures regarding non-GAAP financial information including reconciliations are included at the end of the press release.

Strategic Update

As previously disclosed, the Company has made the strategic decision to substantially wind down Heritage Global Capital ("HGC"). In connection with this wind down, during the second quarter of 2026, Heritage Global recorded approximately $21.7 million in noncash charges related to the write-down of non-performing loans within its specialty lending business.

Second Quarter 2026 Review

  • Revenue of $12.3 million compared to revenue of $14.3 million in the second quarter of 2025.
  • The Company recorded an operating loss of $20.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to operating income of $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. The second quarter of 2026 includes a noncash impairment charge of approximately $18.2 million and a noncash provision for credit losses of approximately $3.5 million, in connection with the Company’s strategic shift to exit the specialty lending business.
  • Adjusted EBITDA totaled $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2026 versus Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2025.
  • The Company had net working capital of $9.4 million at June 30, 2026 as compared to working capital of $18.1 million at December 31, 2025.

Subsequent to quarter end, on July 31, 2026, Heritage Global completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Boston Note & Mortgage III, LLC (“Boston Note Company”), a seller-financed real estate note brokerage with over 30 years of operating history. The transaction expands Heritage Global's Financial Assets platform with a complementary origination channel and is expected to contribute to segment revenue in the second half of 2026.

Ross Dove, Chief Executive Officer of Heritage Global commented, “Our second quarter was shaped by our decision to substantially exit HGC - a deliberate strategic move to focus our efforts on growing our core, capital-light businesses. While this decision comes with a significant one-time non-cash impact, we believe that it is the right path forward, creating a stronger platform to grow long term shareholder value.

“Just after the close of the quarter we closed our acquisition of Boston Note, which will roll into DebtX, and is in keeping with our strategy to expand our capabilities across key asset classes. Our balance sheet remains healthy, providing us with the financial flexibility to drive growth and enhanced profitability in our business.”

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).
