Heritage Global Inc. Delivers Continued Sequential Growth and Its Strongest Operating Income of the Year in Q4 2021

Heritage Global Inc. (NASDAQ: HGBL) (“Heritage Global,” “HGI” or “the Company”), an asset services company specializing in financial and industrial asset transactions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

Heritage Global Chief Executive Officer Ross Dove commented, “We drove continued momentum in fourth quarter 2021, with sequential improvement across key financial metrics as compared to third quarter 2021. Fourth quarter operating income grew more than 160% to $1.4 million as compared to $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 and net income more than doubled to $1.0 million as compared to $0.5 million in third quarter 2021. It is important to note that while operating income was lower than the previous year, the fourth quarter of 2020 included $2.3 million in net profit related to our first completed real estate transaction from our Huntsville partnership holdings.

“As we’ve previously discussed, we are well positioned in both our Financial Assets Division and in our Industrial Assets Division. On the Financial Assets side of our business, during the past 18 months there have been delays in charge-offs coming to market, as consumers used stimulus money to pay down loans. However, consumer borrowing is on the rise as people resume historical shopping and travel behaviors. During fiscal 2022, we anticipate a significant uptick in the volume of non-performing loans coming to market, and we’re positioned to benefit from that volume.

“In our Industrial Assets Division, we’re encouraged by the opportunities we’re seeing as our client base focuses not just on profitably disposing of surplus equipment and assets, but the environmentally sound disposal of these assets. As our manufacturing and industrial clients focus on sustainability, we expect to see more equipment go to auction rather than to the landfill – which is good for our business and good for the planet,” stated Mr. Dove.

Mr. Dove concluded, “At Heritage Global Capital, we continue to work with an active and growing group of borrowers, and our pipeline is strong. We’re pleased to have closed 2021 with another profitable quarter, and as the lending and spending landscape continues to improve, we expect to see continued momentum as we move through 2022.”

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 and separation costs. 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).
