Heritage Global Inc.'s Board authorized a strategic exit plan to wind down its Specialty Lending segment, operated through subsidiary Heritage Global Capital LLC (HGC). The decision follows continued difficulties with the segment's largest borrower and declining performance in the second quarter of 2026. HGC will exit joint ventures and reduce operations, potentially continuing to fund an immaterial number of loans or pursue restructuring. The company expects to incur unspecified cash expenditures for employee-related costs and professional services, alongside a material non-cash impairment charge for the period ended June 30, 2026. This charge involves writing down equity method investments and increasing reserves for credit losses on nonaccrual loans. Exact cost estimates will be determined later. The second quarter 2026 earnings call is rescheduled to August 13, 2026. Heritage Global Inc. operates in the asset services industry, specializing in financial and industrial asset transactions.
