Total revenues for the third quarter decreased by 33% to $10.4 million, down from $15.6 million, while revenues for the nine-month period fell 24% to $34.6 million from $45.3 million. This revenue decline was attributed to reduced activity in the Auction and Liquidation segment, which saw operating income drop significantly from $2.1 million in Q3 2023 to $736,000 in Q3 2024.
Operating income for the third quarter was $1.5 million, a 47% decrease from $2.8 million in the prior year. For the nine months, operating income also fell by 22% to $7.6 million from $9.8 million.

Current assets also increased to $37.0 million, up from $26.3 million, primarily due to a cash increase of $14.3 million. The company’s total assets grew to $88.5 million, while total stockholders’ equity increased to $66.1 million from $61.1 million.
Heritage Global's Specialty Lending segment reported a notable increase in compensation expenses, reflecting a 66% rise to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The company also recorded a significant improvement in earnings from equity method investments, which rose to $2.6 million from $0.7 million, largely due to earnings from the KNFH II LLC joint venture.
The company has been actively managing its debt, with no outstanding balance on its 2021 Credit Facility as of September 30, 2024. The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings decreased to 8.75% from 9.51% at the end of 2023. Additionally, Heritage Global has been involved in restructuring loans with its largest borrower, which has impacted its credit loss allowances and nonaccrual loans.
Overall, while Heritage Global faced challenges in revenue generation and profitability, it demonstrated resilience through improved cash positions and strategic management of its financial obligations.
