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
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).

Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
