Insights

Financial Analyst

STRR posts strong Q2 with 76% revenue growth, swinging to $3.5M profit from previous year's loss, with merger pending.

Star Equity Holdings has delivered exceptional financial performance in Q2 2025 with $23.7 million in revenue, a 75.8% increase year-over-year. What's truly impressive is the gross profit surge of 182.2% to $6.3 million, with margins expanding from 16.4% to 26.4%.

The company's transformation from a $3.8 million net loss in Q2 2024 to a $3.5 million profit ($1.08 per basic share) represents a remarkable turnaround. This improvement stems from strong operational execution and strategic acquisitions. The Building Solutions division was the primary growth driver, with revenue jumping 51.2% to $20.4 million and gross margins expanding significantly to 25.7%.

The $25.7 million backlog in Building Solutions indicates strong demand pipeline and supports management's optimistic outlook for H2 2025. Meanwhile, the Energy Services division contributed $3.3 million in revenue with impressive 32.6% gross margins.

The Investments division delivered substantial value with $5.8 million in adjusted EBITDA, primarily from a $5.5 million realized gain on Star Equity Fund's investment in Servotronics. This validates management's capital allocation strategy beyond their operational businesses.

From a cash flow perspective, operations showed improvement with reduced cash outflow of $1.7 million versus $1.9 million in Q2 2024. The company maintains financial flexibility with its share repurchase program and continues paying dividends on preferred stock.

The pending merger with Hudson Global represents a potential value catalyst, with shareholder votes scheduled for August 21, 2025. Management expects this combination to create value through increased scale, revenue diversification, and elimination of redundant public company costs.

“In the second quarter of 2025, consolidated revenues increased by 76% due to strong Building Solutions division performance as well as the inclusion of revenues from the acquisitions of Timber Technologies Solutions (“TT”) and Alliance Drilling Tools (“ADT”),” commented Rick Coleman, Chief Executive Officer. “Second quarter 2025 Building Solutions overall revenues increased substantially compared to the same quarter last year driven by multiple large commercial projects produced and delivered in the quarter. Looking forward, our quarter-end Building Solutions backlog, representing orders under contract, remains strong at $25.7 million, which makes us optimistic the division will show strong second half and full-year 2025 performance. Lastly, our Energy Services division quarterly performance was robust despite challenging macroeconomic conditions, and we continue to be pleased with the integration of the ADT business and team into our holding company platform.”

Jeff Eberwein, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, noted, “I’m pleased to report that Star’s second quarter results include $5.8 million in adjusted EBITDA from our Investments Division, mainly due to a $5.5 million realized gain on Star Equity Fund’s investment in Servotronics, which was acquired by TransDigm at the end of Q2. This successful investment marked a watershed win for Star Equity Fund, the public investments arm of our Investments division.”

Mr. Eberwein added, “In May 2025, Star Equity signed a definitive merger agreement with Hudson Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSON) (the “Merger”). The completion of the Merger is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both the Company and Hudson, with both meetings scheduled for August 21, 2025. The NewCo created via the Merger is expected to create considerable value for Star Equity shareholders due to increased scale, further diversification of revenue streams, and the elimination of redundant public company costs.”

Revenues

The Company’s Q2 2025 revenues increased 75.8% to $23.7 million from $13.5 million in Q2 2024.

Revenues in $ thousands		Q2 2025				Q2 2024				% change			6M 2025				6M 2024				% change

Total Revenues		$	23,708			$	13,483			75.8	%		$	36,632			$	22,601			62.1	%

Q2 2025 and 6M 2025 Building Solutions revenue increased by 51.2% and 43.8%, respectively, from the prior year, primarily due to increased revenues at KBS. The inclusion of a full quarter of revenues from TT, acquired on May 17, 2024, also contributed to strong division performance. Q2 2025 results also included approximately $3.3 million in revenues from ADT which were not included in the prior year period.

Our Building Solutions segment backlog of $25.7 million and strong sales pipeline indicate continued strong demand for new projects. Although the revenue impact and timing are uncertain, customer feedback gives us confidence in our ability to convert pipeline opportunities into signed contracts adding to our backlog in the coming months.

Total gross margin			26.4	%			16.4	%		10.0	%			25.6	%			16.8	%		8.8	%

Q2 2025 and 6M 2025 Building Solutions gross profit increased 135.2% and 109.2%, respectively, versus the same period last year primarily due to the inclusion of revenues from TT and ADT as well as improved gross profit and gross margin at KBS.

Operating Expenses

On a consolidated basis, Q2 2025 sales, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $1.1 million, or 20.2%, versus the prior year period, while as a percentage of revenue SG&A decreased in Q2 2025 to 27.1% versus 39.6% in Q2 2024. The major driver of this increase in Q2 2025 was the inclusion of SG&A from ADT and, to a lesser extent, TT, (full quarter in Q2 2025 versus partial quarter in Q2 2024) as well as increased M&A expenses in Q2 2025 versus Q2 2024.

Net Income

Q2 2025 net income was $3.5 million, or $1.08 per basic and $1.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, or $1.19 loss per basic and diluted share in the same period in the prior year. Q2 2025 non-GAAP adjusted net income was $6.0 million, or $1.87 per basic and $1.86 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.29 loss per basic and diluted share, in the prior year period.

Year-to-date 2025 net income was $2.3 million or $0.71 per basic and $0.71 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $6.0 million, or $1.90 loss per basic and diluted share, in the same period in the prior year. Year-to-date 2025 non-GAAP adjusted net income was $4.3 million, or $1.35 per basic and $1.34 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.73 loss per basic and diluted share, in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

Q2 2025 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was a gain of $7.0 million versus a loss of $0.5 million in the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to realized gains on securities at our Investments Division. Year-to-date 2025 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was a gain of $6.2 million, compared to a loss of $1.6 million in year-to-date 2024, primarily due to realized gains on securities at our Investments Division and higher margins at our Building Solutions division.

Operating Cash Flow

Q2 2025 cash flow from operations was an outflow of $1.7 million, compared to an outflow of $1.9 million for Q2 2024. 6M 2025 cash flow from operations was an outflow of $1.1 million, compared to an outflow of $4.3 million for 6M 2024. The operating cash flow improvement is attributable to favorable results from operations, particularly in our Building Solutions division, and strong accounts receivable collections. Subsequent to quarter-end in early July, the cash from our “Receivable from brokers” was received and will therefore be recorded as operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2025.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 7, 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 million of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Company repurchased 73,855 shares for $279 thousand under this program in 2024. Under the program, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $721 thousand of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of June 30, 2025.

In Q2 2025, the Company’s board of directors declared a cash dividend to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock of $0.25 per share, for an aggregate amount of approximately $0.7 million. The record date for this dividend was June 1, 2025, and the payment date was June 10, 2025.

NOL Carryforward

As of December 31, 2024, Star had $44.6 million of U.S. federal and $17.6 million of state net operating losses (“NOLs”), which the Company considers to be a valuable asset for its stockholders. Certain of these NOLs will expire in 2025 through 2044 unless previously utilized. In order to protect the value of the NOLs for all stockholders, the Company has a rights agreement and charter amendment in place that limit beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock to 4.99%. Stockholders who wish to own more than 4.99% of Star common stock, or who already own more than 4.99% of Star common stock and wish to increase their holdings, may only acquire additional shares with the Board’s prior written approval.
