Heritage Global anticipates significant net operating growth in 2Q22

Heritage Global (NASDAQ:HGBL) shares are surging 7% premarket as the company anticipates that 2Q22 net operating income will be in the range of $3M to $4M. The significant growth in net operating income is related to strong performance in both of the company’s operating divisions as well as the final disposition of the Huntsville real estate assets associated with its joint venture partnership and the conclusion of that project. “We are very pleased with our strong preliminary second quarter operating results, which reflected industry tailwinds in both our industrial and our financial businesses. Our performance was also favorably impacted in the quarter by the closing of the two remaining Huntsville transactions. By nature of the day-to-day activities in our industrial business, we are uniquely positioned to identify and purse strategic real estate opportunities. To date, our real estate transactions have proven to be high margin revenue generators, and we anticipate that our real estate partnerships will continue to represent significant growth potential for the Company moving forward.” said CEO Ross Dove

Heritage Global: The Earnings Rose Is About To Bloom But Beware The Thorns

I expect 2022 EPS to at least double over 2021, and the share price to respond in kind. Once that has happened, I will dump every share I have. Corporate governance is a mess at HGBL, particularly as it relates to executive compensation. This is the proverbial cigar butt. Get one last puff and then get out unless meaningful changes are revealed when the proxy comes out.

Executive Compensation Excesses At Heritage Global

Heritage Global has compensation arrangements in place that are far in excess of peers and out of place in context of their revenue generation/market cap. Heritage Global's pay structure does not appropriately align the incentives of management with the interest of shareholders, in my view. Bringing compensation down into more reasonable bounds would immediately result in significantly increased EPS and likely also a resulting jump in HGBL stock price. More reasonable compensation packages will also increase retained earnings, which can then be used in higher margin activities that require a lot of capital. Activist pressure may be needed to instigate needed change.

Heritage Global: Strategic Acquisition And Insiders Buying

A precipitous decline in Heritage Global's stock price challenged my bull thesis and had me scratching my head. Was my data wrong? The majority of the decline is owing to a single large shareholder reducing his ownership stake in the aftermath of resigning from the board. A strategic acquisition was announced, and then insiders started buying heavily. The thesis is still intact.
