**Exhibit 99.1**

**LIQUIDITY SERVICES ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS**

***Proprietary Technology and Disciplined Execution Drive Record GMV and Double-Digit Earnings Growth***

**Bethesda, MD - August 7, 2025 -** Liquidity Services (NASDAQ:LQDT; www.liquidityservices.com), a leading global commerce company powering the circular economy, today announced its financial results for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding prior year quarter:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Record Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) of $413.0 million, up 9%, and Revenue of $119.9 million, up 28%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•GAAP Net Income of $7.4 million, up 24%, and GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $0.23, up 21%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $17.0 million, up 16%, and Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS of $0.34, up 13%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Cash balances of $167.0 million<sup>1</sup> with zero financial debt

"Our strong financial results this quarter reflect the power of our leading technology enabled marketplaces, growing buyer network and disciplined execution to optimize recovery and operations in every segment of our business. Our strategic investments in software, platform innovation, marketing and sales are enabling us to capture greater market share while enhancing the value we deliver to sellers and buyers. Our resilient, diversified business provides stability for our customers and investors alike amid ongoing economic uncertainty. With our proven service offerings and continued investment in innovation, we are uniquely equipped to empower our buyers and sellers and drive sustainable, long-term growth in the large and fragmented circular economy market," said Bill Angrick, CEO of Liquidity Services.

**Third Quarter Financial Highlights**

GMV for the fiscal third quarter of 2025 was $413.0 million, a 9% increase from $380.4 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•GMV in our RSCG segment increased 30% from expansion with existing and new retail client programs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•GMV in our CAG segment increased 12%, led by consignment sales in the heavy equipment category, though certain industrial categories and regions experienced tempered activity due to economic and tariff-related supply chain uncertainty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•GMV in our GovDeals segment increased 1% and set a new quarterly record, as growth from new seller acquisition, service expansion and record seller listing activity were partially offset by lower market prices for vehicles and lower take-rate real estate foreclosure auction activity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Consignment sales represented 83% of consolidated GMV for the third fiscal quarter of 2025.

Revenue for the fiscal third quarter of 2025 was $119.9 million, a 28% increase from $93.6 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Revenue in our RSCG segment increased 39%, driven by increased volumes from our client purchase model programs relative to our consignment programs. Segment direct profit set a new quarterly record of $19.4 million, reflecting improved recovery rates on selected purchase model programs and reduced transaction processing fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Revenue in our Machinio & Software Solutions segment increased 27% from increased Machinio subscriptions and pricing for its services and the acquisition of Auction Software.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Revenue in our GovDeals segment increased 8% and set a new quarterly record, growing faster than GMV as traditional personal property sales are conducted at a higher take-rate than the lower-take rate real estate foreclosure auctions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Revenue in our CAG segment increased 6%, due to the increase in the mix of low-touch, heavy equipment consignment sales.

Our initiatives to expand market share and service offerings led to our increased GMV and revenue, while, at the same time, we realized operating leverage across our segments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•GAAP Net Income of $7.4 million, or $0.23 per share, for the fiscal third quarter of 2025, an increase from $6.0 million, or $0.19 per share, for the same quarter last year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income for the fiscal third quarter of 2025 of $11.1 million, or $0.34 per share, an increase from $9.5 million, or $0.30 per share, for the same quarter last year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal third quarter of 2025 of $17.0 million, a $2.3 million increase from $14.7 million in the same quarter last year, reflecting investments in our business development, software solutions, and multi-channel buyer development.

<sup>1</sup> Includes $155.6 million of Cash and cash equivalents and $11.4 million of Short-term investments.

**Third Quarter Segment Financial Results**

We present operating results for our three reportable segments: GovDeals, RSCG, and CAG. Our separate Machinio and Software Solutions operating segments, which do not individually meet the quantitative thresholds to be reportable segments, are combined and presented together as Machinio & Software Solutions for segment reporting purposes. For further information on our reportable segments, including Corporate and elimination adjustments, see Note 14, *Segment Information*, to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025. Segment direct profit is calculated as total revenue less cost of goods sold (excluding depreciation and amortization).

**Fourth Quarter Business Outlook**

We are expecting to complete our 2025 fiscal year with solid double-digit annual growth across our key metrics. Our fourth quarter guidance for our 2025 fiscal year reflects the seasonality for the GovDeals segment coming off its annual peak with record-high GMV during the fiscal third quarter of 2025 and tempered expectations for our RSCG segment.

Compared to the strong fiscal fourth quarter of last year, our CAG and RSCG segments are expected to maintain solid performance during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025. Our RSCG segment's fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 outlook will follow a record in direct profit for the segment during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 and our CAG segment's fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 also will follow record heavy equipment asset sales.

We anticipate that our CAG segment will grow its top-line year-over-year, led by our heavy equipment category, even as we have experienced some disruptions from the economic uncertainties affecting certain industrial categories and regions. Our GovDeals, Machinio and newly established Software Solutions businesses are expected to continue to grow year-over-year.

GMV and revenue from purchase programs in our RSCG segment, and the resulting segment's direct profit, are expected to decline sequentially from its strong fiscal third quarter of 2025 reflecting lower inventory purchases in our forecast and purchase price increases for various ongoing programs. RSCG's GMV and revenue is expected to be flat year-over-year for this upcoming fiscal fourth quarter. We anticipate the RSCG segment direct profit to be slightly down compared to the fiscal fourth quarter of last year due to the change in the mix of products and the pricing changes for selected purchase model programs. The RSCG direct profit as a percent of revenue is expected to remain consistent with recent levels.

Our guidance also includes start-up costs for the expansion of our RSCG direct to consumer online auction, local pick-up initiative in Columbus, Ohio. This strategic initiative targets a handful of key markets to improve recovery for our retail clients and expand our buyer base. Our Software Solutions business will support this endeavor by providing a superior buyer experience and an efficient internal operations workflow.

On a consolidated basis, consignment GMV is expected to continue to be in the low eighties as a percent of total GMV. Consolidated revenue as a percentage of GMV is expected to be slightly below thirty percent, and the total of our segment direct profits as a percentage of consolidated revenue is expected to again be in the mid forty percent range. These ratios can vary based on our overall business mix, including asset categories in any given period.

Our Q4-FY25 guidance is as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *$ in millions, except per share data* | **Q4-FY25 Guidance** |
| **GMV** | $355 to $390 |
| **GAAP Net Income** | $5.0 to $8.0 |
| **Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA** | $13.0 to $16.0 |
| **GAAP Diluted EPS** | $0.15 to $0.25 |
| **Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS** | $0.24 to $0.34 |

---

Our Business Outlook includes forward-looking statements which reflect the following trends and assumptions for Q4-FY25 as compared to the prior year's period, as well as the other risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, and our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q:

*Potential Impacts to GMV, Revenue, Segment Direct Profits, and ratios calculated using these metrics*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•fluctuations in the mix of purchase and consignment transactions. Generally, when the mix of purchase transactions increases, revenue as a percent of GMV increases, while segment direct profit as a percentage of revenue decreases. When the mix of consignment transactions increases, revenue as a percent of GMV decreases, while segment direct profit as a percentage of revenue increases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•variability in the inventory product mix handled by our RSCG segment, which can cause a change in revenues and/or segment direct profit as a percentage of revenue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•real estate transactions in our GovDeals segment can be subject to significant variability due to changes that include postponements or cancellations of scheduled or expected auction events and the value of properties to be included in the auction event;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•continued variability in project size and timing within our CAG segment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•continued growth and expansion resulting from the continuing acceleration of broader market adoption of the digital economy, particularly in our GovDeals and RSCG seller accounts and programs, including the execution by RSCG on its business plans for AllSurplus Deals and its expanded direct-to-consumer marketplace;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•changes in economic, political, or international trading conditions could cause variability in our operating results by impacting the priorities or financial stability of our sellers, current or prospective buyers or their end-customers;

*Potential Impacts to Operating Expenses*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•continued R&D spending to support delivering software solutions and enhancing our omni-channel behavioral marketing, analytics, and buyer/seller payment optimization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•spending in business development activities to capture market opportunities, targeting efficient payback periods;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•variability in the volumes and sourcing locations of products handled by our RSCG segment, which can cause the capacity and related operating expense requirements of our warehouse locations to fluctuate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•changes in our financial performance could cause fluctuations in the amount of stock compensation expense recognized for performance-based awards;

*Potential Impacts to GAAP Net Income and EPS and Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our FY25 annual effective tax rate (ETR) is expected to range from approximately 25% to 31%, which is not significantly changed from the enactment of H.R.1, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. However, our Q4-25 tax expense may appear higher, calculating in the low-to-mid 30% range as a percentage of Q4-25 pre-tax income, as an effect of normalizing back to our annual ETR from discrete benefits that occurred earlier in the year. This range excludes any potential impacts from additional legislative changes to corporate tax rates that may be enacted in the U.S. or internationally; and excludes potential impacts that have limited visibility and can be highly variable, including effects of stock compensation due to participant exercise activity and changes in our stock price. We expect that cash paid for income taxes will increase in FY25 as our remaining US federal net operating loss carryforward position became fully utilized in Q2-25; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is expected to be approximately 32.5 to 33.0 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had $17.6 million in remaining authorization to repurchase shares of our common stock.

------

**Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures**

<u>Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA</u>*.* Non-GAAP EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to Net Income plus interest and other income, net; provision for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization. Our definition of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA differs from Non-GAAP EBITDA because we further adjust Non-GAAP EBITDA for stock compensation expense, acquisition costs such as transaction expenses and changes in earn-out estimates, business realignment expenses, litigation settlement expenses that are not expected to reoccur, and goodwill, long-lived and other non-current asset impairment. A reconciliation of Net Income to Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

<u>Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share.</u> Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to Net Income plus stock compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition related costs such as transaction expenses and changes in earn-out estimates, business realignment expenses, litigation settlement expenses that are not expected to reoccur, goodwill, long-lived and other non-current asset impairments, and the estimated impact of income taxes on these non-GAAP adjustments as well as non-recurring tax adjustments. Non-GAAP Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share are determined using Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income. For Q3-FY25 and Q3-FY24, the tax rates used to estimate the impact of income taxes on the non-GAAP adjustments were 25% and 27%, respectively, based upon the GAAP effective tax rates for each period. A reconciliation of Net Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share is as follows:

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: (a) as measurements of operating performance because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis as they do not reflect the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations; (b) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget; (c) to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; (d) to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational strategies; and (e) to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share is the result of our Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and diluted shares outstanding.

We prepare Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA by eliminating from Non-GAAP EBITDA the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. As an analytical tool, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all of the limitations applicable to Non-GAAP EBITDA. Our presentation of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an implication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our core operating measures. In addition, because we have historically reported certain non-GAAP measures to investors, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in our financial reporting. These measures should be considered in addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation of all historical non-GAAP measures included in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, may be found in the financial tables included in this press release.

We do not quantitatively reconcile our guidance ranges for our non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures in the Business Outlook section of this press release. The guidance ranges for our GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures reflect our assessment of potential sources of variability in our financial results and are informed by our evaluation of multiple scenarios, many of which have interactive effects across several financial statement line items. Providing guidance for individual reconciling items between our non-GAAP financial measures and the comparable GAAP measures would imply a degree of precision and certainty in those reconciling items that is not a consistent reflection of our scenario-based process to prepare our guidance ranges. To the extent that a material change affecting the individual reconciling items between the Company's forward-looking non-GAAP and comparable GAAP financial measures is anticipated, the Company has provided qualitative commentary in the Business Outlook section of this press release for your consideration. However, as the impact of such factors cannot be predicted with a reasonable degree of certainty or precision, a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

**Supplemental Operating Data**

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain supplemental operating data as a measure of certain components of operating performance. GMV is the total sales value of all transactions for which we earned compensation upon their completion through our marketplaces or other channels during a given period of time. We review GMV because it provides a measure of the volume of goods being sold in our marketplaces and thus the activity of those marketplaces. GMV and our other supplemental operating data, including registered buyers, auction participants and completed transactions, also provide a means to evaluate the effectiveness of investments that we have made and continue to make in the areas of seller and buyer support, value-added services, product development, sales and marketing and operations. Therefore, we believe this supplemental operating data provides useful information to both management and investors. In addition, because we have historically reported certain supplemental operating data to investors, we believe the inclusion of this supplemental operating data provides consistency in our financial reporting. This data should be considered in addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
