Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1 –Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Heritage Global Inc. together with its subsidiaries, including Heritage Global Partners, Inc. (“HGP”), National Loan Exchange Inc. (“NLEX”), Heritage Global LLC (“HG LLC”), Heritage Global Capital LLC (“HGC”), and Heritage ALT LLC (“ALT”). These entities, collectively, are referred to as “HG,” the “Company,” “we” or “our” in these consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of all subsidiaries over which HG exercises control. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company began its operations in 2009 with the establishment of HG LLC. The business was subsequently expanded by the acquisitions of HGP, NLEX, and ALT in 2012, 2014, and 2021 respectively, and the creation of HGC in 2019. As a result, HG is positioned to provide an array of value-added capital and financial asset solutions: auction and appraisal services, traditional asset disposition sales, and specialty financing solutions. The Company’s reportable segments consist of Auction and Liquidation, through HGP, Refurbishment & Resale, through ALT, Brokerage, through NLEX and Specialty Lending, through HGC. The Company prepared the condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods included herein. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are appropriate. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 24, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of those operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2023. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, contained in the Company’s Form 10-K. COVID-19 The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) had no material negative impact on the Company's Industrial Assets Division during 2022 or the three months ended March 31, 2023, as the supply of surplus industrial assets largely returned to pre-pandemic levels and the continuing disruptions to the global supply chain, particularly those involving industrial assets, increased demand for U.S. based surplus assets. Going forward, the Company does not believe the COVID-19 pandemic will have material negative impacts on financial performance, as it is expected that supply and demand will remain robust in the Industrial Assets Division. Additionally, increasing consumer spending and rising delinquency and charge-off rates have positive impact on volumes of nonperforming and charged-off consumer loans, which will benefit the Financial Assets Division Repurchase Program The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program on May 5, 2022 (“2022 Repurchase Program”) which permits the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $4.0 million in common shares over a three year period ending in June of 2025. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $3.6 million in remaining aggregate dollar value of shares that may be purchased under the program. There were no shares repurchased in the open market for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
