News Explained

Common shares outstanding fell year-to-date, while preferred shares rose and their $603 dividend reduced the quarter’s loss attributable to common shareholders.

The reported June 30, 2026 balance sheet shows Star Equity Holdings with 3,699 common shares outstanding versus 3,755 at December 31, 2025, while Series A preferred shares outstanding rose from 2,370 to 2,455, changing the disclosed capital mix.

Dilution means additional shares increase the total share count and reduce an existing holder’s percentage ownership absent offsetting changes; the release reports 5,398 common shares issued at June 30, alongside the lower outstanding count.

The $603 Series A preferred dividend was deducted before the quarter’s $2,451 net loss attributable to common shareholders, so that reported common-shareholder loss reflects the preferred distribution.

The balance sheet separates the $8.9 million total cash figure into $6,834 of cash and equivalents, $1,540 of current restricted cash, and $551 of non-current restricted cash.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, non-gaap measure, book-to-bill ratio, net operating losses

4 terms

adjusted ebitda financial

"Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP measure)* increased to $2.2 million"

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.

non-gaap measure financial

"Adjusted net loss per diluted share (non-GAAP measure)* was $0.15"

A non-GAAP measure is a company-crafted financial metric that adjusts or excludes items from standard accounting numbers to highlight what management sees as the business’s core performance. Investors use these figures like a filtered photo to reveal trends or cash flow drivers that raw accounting totals might hide, but because companies decide which items to remove, these measures should be compared with standard statements to avoid being misled.

book-to-bill ratio technical

"the trailing 12-month book-to-bill ratio was 0.77"

The book-to-bill ratio compares the value of new orders a company receives to the value of products it ships out or bills for over a certain period. If the ratio is above 1, it means the company is getting more orders than it is completing, which can indicate growth. If it's below 1, it suggests demand is slowing down.

net operating losses financial

"Star had $215 million of usable net operating losses"

Net operating losses are the amount by which a company’s allowable tax deductions exceed its taxable income in a given year, creating a tax loss that can be carried forward or backward to reduce taxes in other years. For investors this matters because NOLs can lower future tax payments and boost cash flow—think of them as unused tax credits a business can apply later to improve profitability and valuation or make the company more attractive in a sale or investment.

Realized merger synergies of $3.0 million on annualized basis

OLD GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRR and STRRP) ("Star" or the "Company"), a diversified holding company, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

2026 Second Quarter Summary

Revenue of $54.9 million increased 54.6% from the second quarter of 2025.
Gross profit of $22.8 million increased 22.3% from the second quarter of 2025.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $2.5 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $0.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted net loss per diluted share (non-GAAP measure)* was $0.15 compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.20 in the second quarter of 2025. Pro forma adjusted net income per diluted share was $1.46 in the second quarter of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP measure)* increased to $2.2 million versus adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2025; pro forma adjusted EBITDA was $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, including a $5.5 million realized gain in the Investments division.
Total cash including restricted cash was $8.9 million at June 30, 2026.

Jeff Eberwein, CEO of Star, noted, "In the second quarter, Business Services delivered modest revenue growth, with gross profit down slightly year-over-year, while Energy Services posted strong year-over-year gains in revenue, gross profit, and adjusted EBITDA, reflecting activity increases and new client wins in the geothermal and mining industries. Building Solutions remained below our expectations due to market softness and contract timing including revenue from one large project largely constructed in Q2 that will now be recognized mainly in Q3. While residential and commercial construction markets remained challenging in the second quarter, we have gained traction in the areas of workforce, affordable, and assisted living/senior housing. We continued to add attractive work to the backlog, including the previously announced $4.2 million multifamily project in New Hampshire to serve the senior community."

Jake Zabkowicz, Global CEO of Hudson Talent Solutions ("HTS"), added, “HTS's revenues were up modestly year-over-year, despite continued macroeconomic uncertainty and sustained pressure in the professional talent market. We have maintained a strong focus on innovation and operational efficiency, including the expanded deployment of agentic AI and automation tools to enhance recruiter productivity, improve candidate matching, and deliver greater value to clients. These initiatives helped limit the year-over-year gross profit decline to 4% despite a mixed regional backdrop, with growth in the Americas offsetting softer conditions in Asia Pacific and EMEA. We believe our deep client relationships and continued focus on technology‑enabled delivery positions Hudson Talent Solutions to capitalize on improving market conditions over time.”

Mr. Eberwein concluded, "We remain focused on disciplined execution, rigorous cost management, and returns‑driven capital allocation, including the active evaluation of M&A opportunities across all three operating divisions. Our $215 million U.S. NOL position as of December 31, 2025 represents a meaningful tax asset that we expect to enhance after‑tax returns on future growth initiatives and strategic transactions. With the realization of synergies from the Star merger completed in August 2025, a strengthening Energy Services platform, and a resilient Business Services franchise, we believe we are well positioned to navigate near‑term market volatility, improve profitability, and create long‑term value for our stockholders.”

* The Company provides non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA, adjusted net income or loss, and adjusted net income or loss per diluted share are defined in the division / segment tables at the end of this release and a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included within such division / segment tables.
