SEGMENTS

Our Building Solutions segment is currently made up of the following operating businesses: KBS Builders, Inc. (“KBS”); EdgeBuilder, Inc. (“EdgeBuilder”), and Glenbrook Building Supply, Inc. (“Glenbrook”), with the latter two managed together and referred to jointly as “EBGL,” and Timber Technologies Solutions, Inc. (“TT”). KBS is based in Maine and manufactures modular buildings, typically in the single and multi-family residential segments, servicing principally the New England market. EBGL is based in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area and principally serves the Upper Midwest region. EBGL manufactures and delivers structural wall panels for single and multi-family residential buildings, and other engineered wood-based products. EBGL also distributes building materials from two lumberyard locations primarily focused on professional builder customers. TT is based outside the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and manufactures glue-laminated timber products (“glulam”) for various end markets and applications, including agriculture, industrial, infrastructure, and building construction (commercial and residential).

Our Business Services segment delivers Recruitment Process Outsourcing (“RPO”) services consisting of recruitment and contracting solutions tailored to the individual needs of primarily mid-to-large multinational companies. The Company operates directly in fifteen countries organized into three geographic regions: the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe, Middle East, and Africa ("EMEA"). The Company’s RPO delivery teams utilize recruitment process methodologies and project management expertise to meet clients’ ongoing business needs. The Company’s RPO services include complete recruitment outsourcing, project-based outsourcing, contingent workforce solutions, and recruitment consulting for clients’ permanent staff hires. Hudson’s RPO services leverage the Company’s consultants, supported by the Company’s specialists, in the delivery of its proprietary methods to identify, select, and engage the best-fit talent for critical client roles. In addition, the Company provides RPO clients with a range of outsourced professional contract staffing services and managed service provider services offered sometimes on a standalone basis and sometimes as part of a blended total talent solution. These services draw upon a combination of specialized recruiting and project management competencies to deliver a wide range of solutions. Hudson RPO-employed professionals - either individually or as a team - are placed with client organizations for a defined period of time based on specific business needs of the client.

Our Energy Services segment currently consists of Alliance Drilling Tools, Inc. ("ADT"), a Wyoming and Texas based provider of drilling tools and services to the Energy industry, a key sector of the economy. ADT is a full-service downhole drilling tool company which provides sale and rental tools in the Oil & Gas, Geothermal, Mining, and Waterwells sectors. ADT is strategically located near premier oilfields in the Rockies, a geothermal and mining hub, and in Midland, TX within the Permian Basin. ADT’s business model allows for the majority of costs, such as freight, repairs, and damages to be passed directly to customers.

Our Investments segment holds and manages certain of our corporate-owned real estate, including a manufacturing facility in Maine that is leased to KBS and a manufacturing facility in Wisconsin that is leased to TT. The Investments division manages internally funded, concentrated minority investments in a small number of public companies. It also holds and manages a promissory note and a private equity stake in Catalyst MedTech LLC ("Catalyst"), a provider of medical imaging equipment and services. SOC acquired these interests in May 2023 as a result of the sale of Digirad Health. Our Investments division also holds an investment in Enservco Corporation consisting of an investment in Enservco Common Stock, an investment in Enservco Preferred Stock, and an investment in a call option, all of which were acquired in the third quarter of 2024 and which currently have a carrying value of zero.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and provides disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The guidance defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments primarily consist of cash equivalents, equity securities, accounts receivable, other current assets, restricted cash, and accounts payable. The carrying amount of short-term and long-term debt and notes payable approximates fair value because of the relative short maturity of these instruments and interest rates we could currently obtain.
The Company occasionally enters into derivative financial instruments to manage certain market risks. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments and accordingly, are recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recognized in cost of revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Equity Securities
Equity Securities

Securities consist of investments in equity securities that are publicly traded. These equity securities are measured at fair value on a trade date basis and changes in fair value are recognized in net income in other income (expense). Investments that are strategic in nature, with the intent to hold the investment over a several year period, are classified as long-term investments.
Long-Term Investments
Long-Term Investments

As a part of the sale of Digirad Health, Star Operating Companies received common equity in Insignia TTG Parent LLC (“Catalyst Parent”), the parent entity of Catalyst formerly known as TTG Imaging Solutions, LLC. In accounting for this investment, we have elected the measurement alternative under ASC 321 “Accounting for Investments in Equity Securities”. The measurement alternative election allows for equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values to be recorded at cost, with adjustments for impairment and certain observable price changes reflected in earnings. Such securities are adjusted to fair value when an observable price change occurs or impairment is identified. Each reporting period, we perform a qualitative and quantitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. Impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, significant deterioration in earnings performance, significant adverse changes in the regulatory or economic environment and working capital deficiencies. If an investment is determined to be impaired, we include an impairment loss as a component of other income (expense) equal to the difference between the fair value of the investment and its carrying amount. During the period ended September 30, 2025 we recognized no impairment loss on this investment.
On August 9, 2024, SOC completed an investment in Enservco Corporation (“Enservco”) (“Investment in Enservco”), which consisted of Enservco Common Stock, Enservco Preferred Stock, and certain other options reflected in the Share Exchange Agreement, and the Enservco Note Receivable (See Note 18, Supplementary Balance Sheet Information). The Investment in Enservco is required to be accounted for using the equity method of accounting under ASC 323, “Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures”, as we are deemed to have significant influence over Enservco based upon GAAP rules. Pursuant to the guidance in ASC 323, we elected the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825-10-15, wherein the financial instrument is initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date, with changes in the estimated fair value recognized as other income (expense) in the statement of operations. Enservco Common Stock is publicly traded, and the fair value is determined based on Enservco’s common stock close price as of the reporting date. The fair value of the Enservco Preferred Stock was based on the consideration of a number of objective and subjective factors, including third-party valuations and a company-specific economic outlook. To determine the fair value of the call option, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the Enservco Note was determined using a discounted cash flow model. Fair value assumptions are further described in Note 12, Fair Value Measurements. The Enservco Note was determined to be uncollectible as of December 31, 2024 and the value was reduced to $0. As described further in Note 18, Supplementary Balance Sheet Information, the value of the Enservco Note was fully collateralized and SOC called the collateral once it was determined that the note was in default.
Inventory
Inventory

Inventories are valued using first-in, first-out, or the weighted-average inventory method; stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Finished goods and work-in-process inventory values include the cost of raw materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead. Inventory, when written down to net realizable value, establishes a new cost basis and its value is not subsequently increased based upon changes in underlying facts and circumstances. We also make adjustments to reduce the carrying amount of inventories for estimated excess or obsolete inventories. Factors influencing these adjustments include inventory on-hand compared with historical and estimated future sales and usage for new and existing products and assumptions about the likelihood of obsolescence.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt Issuance Costs
We incur debt issuance costs in connection with debt financings. Debt issuance costs for line of credit are presented in other assets and are amortized over the term of the revolving debt agreements using the straight-line method. Debt issuance costs for term debt are netted against the debt and are amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. Amortization of debt issuance costs are included in interest expense.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
We record all shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue earned for the goods provided.

Within our Building Solutions division, KBS provides a limited assurance warranty on its residential homes that covers substantial defects in materials or workmanship for a period of 12 months after delivery to the owner. EBGL provides a limited warranty on the sale of its wood foundation products that covers leaks resulting from defects in workmanship for a period of 25 years. TT provides a limited warranty on glulam products for a period of 50 years. Estimated warranty costs are accrued in the period that the related revenue is recognized.

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted and Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which modifies FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740 to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance and expects to adopt it in the annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This update requires public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on both an interim and annual basis. Subsequently, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The new guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. It may be applied on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the update to determine the impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The ASU provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from revenue transactions under ASC 606. Under the expedient, entities may assume that conditions existing as of the balance-sheet date will remain unchanged over the remaining life of those assets, thereby simplifying the estimation process for short-term receivables. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software", ASU 2025-06 updates the accounting for internal-use software by removing the previous “project stage” model and requiring capitalization only when management authorizes and commits to funding a project that is probable of completion. The ASU also adds guidance on assessing development uncertainty, incorporates website development into Subtopic 350-40, and aligns presentation and disclosure requirements with ASC 360. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Entities may apply the standard prospectively, modified-prospectively, or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU improve segment reporting requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures on significant segment expenses. Other disclosures that the ASU requires public entities to provide include the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2024, and has disclosed significant expenses reviewed by the CODM for each reportable segment, with no additional significant expenses identified beyond those presented. See Note 17, “Segment and Geographic Data” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
