Heritage Global reports Q2 EPS 7c, consensus 7c

Reports Q2 revenue $12.0M, two estimates $14.2M. Heritage Global Chief Executive Officer Ross Dove commented, “Our second quarter results reflect solid performance from our industrial assets division, where we continue to see an active pipeline for the auction of equipment and other assets. During the quarter, as previously disclosed, our auction division, in conjunction with partners, completed a highly accretive transaction involving the sale of equipment and a 10-year building lease on a recently acquired pharmaceutical plant in Fenton, Missouri. Our auction services are in high demand as economic pressures force the consolidation or closure of many businesses across the US, and we expect to continue to see significant auction activity as we move through the balance of the year.”
