FAQ

Why Bullish?

The strategic divestment of non-core assets indicates improved financial focus and stability, historically correlating with positive stock performance in similar instances, like IT service companies refining their portfolios to concentrate on growth areas.

How important is it?

The focus on core operations and debt reduction enhances QRHC's growth potential, signaling to investors a shift toward profitability, which historically influences positive investor sentiment.

Why Short Term?

Immediate cash influx from the sale will likely strengthen financial positioning, with effects visible in quarterly earnings soon after closure, like past examples of firms boosting share prices post-asset sales.

April 04, 2025 16:00 ET  | Source: Quest Resource Holding Corporation THE COLONY, Texas, April 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quest Resource Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: QRHC) (“Quest” or the “Company”), a national leader in environmental waste and recycling services, today announced the sale of its tenant-direct portion of the RWS commercial property management business. “We have successfully completed the sale of a portion of RWS, which was a non-core line of business and a small part of our overall portfolio. The sale enables us to increase our focus on our core portfolio of clients in diverse industries, which offer the greatest source of growth and financial returns. Financially, this sale eliminates business that contributed to inconsistent financial performance without contributing profits, and it provides cash that can be used to pay down debt,” said Perry W. Moss, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quest. The Company agreed to sell the client contracts to Lincoln Waste Solutions, a part of Reconomy, a leading international specialist in the circular economy. The total consideration for the sale was approximately $5 million in cash paid at closing, plus additional amounts payable to the seller, not to exceed $6.5 million in aggregate, that may be earned based on future performance and a one-time payment of an acquired accounts receivable remittance amount, in each case subject to adjustment as set forth in the purchase agreement. The transaction closed on March 31, 2025. “On our earnings call a few weeks ago, we laid out a number of changes and initiatives, all focused on increasing profitability, improving operating efficiencies, and generating more consistent financial results. This transaction will enable us to apply greater focus on our core and pay down debt, which is also a focus of the Company,” added Dan Friedberg, Chairman of Quest’s Board of Directors. “We are excited to add these clients to our book of tenant-direct customers,” said John Ayvas, Chief Executive Officer for Lincoln Waste Solutions. “Our operations are uniquely designed to cater to these types of customers, and our extensive experience and knowledge of this specialized market will enable us to deliver strong results from their waste management solutions,” Ayvas added.
