Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results Summary
- Total revenues increased approximately 128% to $8.6 million from the year ago third quarter level of $3.8 million, while the cost of revenues increased by $4.9 million. The increase in total revenues and cost of revenues reflects the Company completing the sale of its real estate inventory for $4.1 million, as well as a higher volume of transactions and the timing of certain asset liquidation transactions.
- Gross profit, or total revenues and earnings of equity method investments net of costs of services revenue and asset sales, remained flat at $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2016.
- During the third quarter, Heritage Global completed a number of successful global online sales for clients, including StemCells Inc., Sunpower, Seven Stone Surface Fabrication, Entergy Vermont, Sanofi, Amgen and Pfizer.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 10% to $2.8 million during the current period, compared to $3.1 million in the 2015 third quarter.
- Heritage Global reported a net loss of $0.4 million or a net loss of $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.6 million or a loss of $0.13 per common share in the year ago period. The Company recorded a real estate inventory write-down charge during the 2015 third quarter of $2.7 million, which represented approximately 75% of the 2015 third quarter net loss. No charge was taken in the 2016 period. Excluding the real estate inventory write-down charge, the net loss for the comparable 2015 third quarter would have been $0.9 million, or a loss of $0.03 per common share.
- In July 2016 the Company completed the sale of its real estate inventory for $4.1 million in cash. Subsequently, the Company repaid $2.5 million of outstanding principal, plus accrued interest, on its third party debt, and terminated the loan agreement with the third party creditor (for more information, see the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 8, 2016). In August 2016 the Company repaid $0.8 million of the $1.7 million outstanding principal on its related party debt. As a result of both the real estate inventory sale and the debt repayments, Heritage Global expects to achieve approximately $0.4 million in annual cost savings.
Ross Dove, Heritage Global Chief Executive Officer stated, “Heritage Global’s unique, value-driven corporate and financial asset solutions platform continued to deliver positive results on behalf of our growing base of global clients, as reflected by the 128% increase in total revenues. Importantly, the noteworthy progress we are achieving on our expense management initiatives led to a 10% year-over-year reduction in third quarter selling, general and administrative expense. In July we de-leveraged and strengthened our balance sheet by using a portion of the proceeds we received from the sale of the Company’s real-estate inventory to repay and extinguish $2.5 million in debt, and in August we further de-leveraged by repaying a portion of our related party debt. The combination of these transactions will result in $0.4 million of annual cost savings. Looking ahead, we will continue to make appropriate process and operating adjustments to ensure that HGI remains efficient and competitive, while simultaneously pursuing initiatives to further strengthen our balance sheet and improve our capital structure.”
“In closing, the significant improvement in our third quarter and year-to-date financial performance reflects our strong commitment to building Heritage Global into a leading provider of diversified and unique global asset solutions and services. We remain confident that the ongoing successful execution of our de-leveraging, expense management and profitability initiatives will lead to sustainable growth and the enhancement of long-term shareholder value.”
