Ross Dove, Chief Executive Officer of Heritage Global commented, "We reported continued solid profitability in 2025, as we capitalized on key opportunities throughout the year with strong execution across our business units. While many companies held off on larger non-essential asset sales during the year given the uncertain economy, we managed to conduct a high volume of transactions throughout the year in both our industrial and financial assets segments and continue to be well positioned to service the needs of our expanding customer base.

"Most notably, we have executed an accretive and synergistic acquisition, securing a significant and defensible cornerstone within our strategic roadmap. As noted, subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, we announced the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of The Debt Exchange ("DebtX"), a leading full-service commercial and residential real estate loan-sale brokerage and advisory platform. DebtX further strengthens our financial assets division by expanding our presence in the growing secondary loan market. As we move through 2026 and integrate DebtX, we will continue to leverage our core capabilities to drive long-term growth and profitability."

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).
