2025 Year In Review

2025 marked an important step forward for HPA as we continued to invest in our people, capabilities, and relationships to enable us to serve clients with even greater creativity, responsiveness, and impact. We welcomed new team members, established our Expert Advisory Council, invested in expanding and optimizing our infrastructure, and opened our first Chicago office as a milestone in building the firm for the long term.

We are proud to have delivered meaningful outcomes for clients across our sectors of focus, including standout transactions in restaurants and consumer & residential services across franchised and corporate-owned business models. Each of these transactions broke new ground by delivering outlier valuation outcomes and best-in-class partners for our clients. In keeping with our value of Service, these successful transactions allowed us to contribute to organizations that make a meaningful impact in people’s lives.

Finally, we were honored to receive recognition from Mergers & Acquisitions and Franchise Times, which we view as a reflection of our clients’ success and the standards we work to uphold.

As we look ahead to 2026, we remain dedicated to buildingenduring relationships grounded in our values of Service, Excellence, and Integrity. Thank you for your continued partnership and confidence in HPA.

Wishing you a prosperous 2026.

Sincerely,

Ashish Seth
