   -- Total cash including restricted cash was $18.5 million at September 30, 
      2025. 

Jeff Eberwein, CEO of Star, noted, "Third quarter results reflect the impact of our recent merger, with revenue, gross profit, and Adjusted EBITDA all increasing year over year, largely due to the inclusion of the acquired company's results beginning August 22, 2025. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.02 in Q3 2025, compared to a loss of $0.13 in Q3 2024 marking a turnaround in bottom-line profitability and an encouraging early signal of the combined company's earnings potential."

Jake Zabkowicz, Global CEO of Hudson Talent Solutions ("HTS"), added, "Our Business Services segment continued to perform well despite a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. Both third quarter and year-to-date gross profit increased slightly compared to last year, even as the broader talent acquisition industry has contracted in 2025 versus 2024. This outperformance demonstrates the resilience of our business model and the strength of our client relationships. I'm also proud that HTS was named to the Baker's Dozen for the 17th consecutive year, achieving our highest-ever overall ranking, and recognized as number one in the Asia-Pacific region for the third consecutive year. These distinctions reflect our consistent performance, global reach, and unwavering focus on delivering excellence for our clients."

Rick Coleman, COO of Star, added, "Our Building Solutions segment delivered strong performance, capitalizing on the rebound in commercial construction demand while navigating continued softness in residential markets. The performance underscores our ability to adapt to evolving industry dynamics and flex our orientation towards higher-growth markets.

Our Energy Services segment achieved particularly strong results despite a broader slowdown across the energy sector. The strong performance was driven by exceptional sales execution, disciplined cost management, and strategic capital investments in ADT's drilling tool inventory and service capabilities. These initiatives not only increased sales and utilization rates but also enhanced our market positioning and customer satisfaction."

Mr. Eberwein concluded, "Following the recent merger, we are operating from a stronger, more diversified platform with increased scale, broader end-market exposure, and improved operating leverage. The integration is progressing well, and we are already realizing efficiencies across shared services. Across all our operating segments, we are focused on operational excellence, prudent capital allocation, and a disciplined approach to growth. We believe that our stock price remains undervalued, and in the third quarter we repurchased approximately 8% of our outstanding shares. Our Board of Directors also authorized a new share repurchase program, reinforcing our confidence in the long-term value of the business and our commitment to growing value per share.

Looking ahead, we are well positioned to drive long-term shareholder value through a balanced mix of organic growth, disciplined capital allocation, and accretive acquisitions. We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that align with our diversified holding company strategy, focusing on scalable, cash-generating businesses with strong management teams and sustainable competitive advantages. Together, these efforts are strengthening Star's foundation for sustainable, profitable expansion."

* The Company provides non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). 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.

(1) Pro forma Building Solutions and Energy Services results for the full third quarter of 2025 as opposed to August 22, 2025 through September 30, 2025. These results are compared to Building Solutions division results from Star Operating Companies, Inc. for the third quarter of 2024. No comparison is provided for Energy Services as that division did not exist at Star Operating Companies, Inc. until March 2025.

Corporate Costs

In the third quarter of 2025, the Company's corporate costs were $1.2 million, up from $0.9 million in the prior year quarter. Corporate costs in the third quarter of 2025 and 2024 excluded non-recurring expenses of $1.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The increase in non-recurring expenses was primarily driven by the Merger.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company ended the third quarter of 2025 with $18.5 million in cash, including $3.2 million in restricted cash. The Company used $2.7 million in cash flow from operations during the third quarter of 2025 compared to using $1.3 million in cash flow from operations in the third quarter of 2024.

Share Repurchase Program

As announced previously, the Company completed its $5 million common stock share repurchase program authorized in August 2023. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new $3 million repurchase program in September 2025.

The Company has repurchased approximately $10 million worth of common stock since 2020, including a recent block purchase of approximately 8% of its outstanding shares, and continues to view share repurchases as an attractive use of capital.

NOL Carryforward

As of December 31, 2024, Star had $240 million of usable net operating losses ("NOL") in the U.S., which the Company considers to be a very valuable asset for its stockholders. In order to protect the value of the NOL for all stockholders, the Company has a rights agreement and charter amendment in place that limit beneficial ownership of Star common stock to 4.99%. Stockholders who wish to own more than 4.99% of Star common stock, or who already own more than 4.99% of Star common stock and wish to buy more, may only acquire additional shares with the Board's prior written approval.
