OLD GREENWICH, CT - August 8, 2025 - Hudson Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSON) ("Hudson Global" or "the Company"), a leading global total talent solutions company, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
2025 Second Quarter Summary
•Revenue of $35.5 million decreased 0.5% from the second quarter of 2024 and 0.2% in constant currency.
•Adjusted net revenue of $18.6 million increased 5.8% from the second quarter of 2024 and 5.1% in constant currency.
•Net loss was $0.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income per diluted share (non-GAAP measure)* was $0.12 compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.04 in the second quarter of 2024.
•Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP measure)* was $1.3 million, an increase versus adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2024.
•Total cash including restricted cash was $17.5 million at June 30, 2025.
Jake Zabkowicz, Global CEO of Hudson RPO, noted, "The overall increase in adjusted net revenue in the second quarter of 2025 reflects a modest upturn in business activity, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. Year-to-date, we have made key strategic hires aimed at deepening and enhancing our capabilities, strengthening our ability to deliver scalable, high-impact talent solutions to our clients. In parallel, we recently completed two strategic transactions: acquiring Alpha Consulting Group, a Japan-based recruitment services provider, which marked our formal entry into the Japanese market; and integrating McKinsey CMO Group (CMRG), a boutique firm specializing in recruitment marketing, brand strategy, and talent engagement."
Jeff Eberwein, CEO of Hudson Global, added, "As Jake referenced, we continue to make investments in our business to better support our clients' recruitment needs and streamline operations. Altogether in the first half of 2025, we invested approximately $1.4 million in sales, marketing, and technology above maintenance levels to enhance future growth. Our growth strategy remains focused on organic expansion, targeted bolt-on acquisitions, and cross-regional service integration initiatives designed to broaden our client base, extend our geographic footprint, and unlock additional value for our clients.
Mr. Eberwein continued, "In May 2025, we announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with Star Equity Holdings (Nasdaq: STRR / STRRP) (the "Merger"). While the Merger is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both the Company and Star, with both shareholder meetings scheduled for August 21, the NewCo created via the Merger is expected to create considerable value to Hudson's shareholders, due to increased size, diversification of revenue streams, and the elimination of redundant public company and overhead costs.”
* The Company provides non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Constant currency, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA, adjusted net income or loss, and adjusted net income or loss per diluted share are defined in the segment tables at the end of this release and a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included within such segment tables.

HUDSON GLOBAL, INC.
RECONCILIATION OF CONSTANT CURRENCY MEASURES
(in thousands) (unaudited)
The Company operates on a global basis, with the majority of its revenue generated outside of the United States. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect its results of operations. Constant currency information compares financial results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company defines the term “constant currency” to mean that financial data for a previously reported period are translated into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate financial data for the current period. Changes in revenue, adjusted net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), other non-operating income (expense), operating income (loss) and EBITDA (loss) include the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s management reviews and analyzes business results in constant currency and believes these results better represent the Company’s underlying business trends. The Company believes that these calculations are a useful measure, indicating the actual change in operations. There are no significant gains or losses on foreign currency transactions between subsidiaries. Therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates generally impact only reported earnings.
