Jeff Eberwein, Chief Executive Officer at Star, said, “Our fourth quarter and full-year financial results reflect positive momentum and improvement over the prior year quarter, largely attributable to the addition of the Building Solutions and Energy Services divisions which occurred with the merger that closed in August 2025.”

Jake Zabkowicz, Global CEO of Hudson Talent Solutions (“HTS”), noted, “HTS delivered a 4.8% revenue increase in the fourth quarter Full-year revenues remained relatively flat compared to 2024 despite macroeconomic challenges and significant ongoing pressure in the talent market. In 2025, we expanded our service offering with the implementation of agentic AI, positioning us at the forefront of the talent industry’s digital transformation.”

Rick Coleman, COO of Star, added, “Residential and commercial building demand were relatively soft throughout the year, but our Building Solutions segment delivered strong results, including significantly higher sales and profitability. Energy Services division performance was also strong as ADT expanded market share across all core markets with particularly robust growth in mining and geothermal. These results highlight the team’s ability to combine strong execution with innovation across a broad range of end markets and applications.”

Mr. Eberwein concluded, “2025 was a transformational year for Star. The merger that closed in August strengthened our operating and financial position, accelerated our growth strategy, and reinforced our conviction that our stock remains undervalued. To that end, we repurchased more than $2.6 million of stock during 2025 and expect to continue utilizing buybacks to enhance shareholder value.”

* 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.
