BGSF Go-to-Market Re-branding Project for All Business Units Well Underway

BGSF, Inc. (NYSE: BGSF), a leading national provider of consulting, managed services, and workforce solutions, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended April 2, 2023.

Q1 2023 Highlights from Continuing Operations:

• Revenues were $75.3 million, up 9.9% from 2022.
• Gross profit was $26.8 million, up 14.3% from 2022. Gross profit percent increased 140 basis points to 35.6% in 2023.
• Operating income (loss) includes a non-cash charge of $22.5 million ($16.9 million after-tax or $1.58 per diluted share) related to the impairment of trade name intangible assets from the re-branding to BGSF for all entities. Therefore, the other trade names have no value.
• Net loss from continuing operations was $(16.5) million, or $(1.54) per diluted share.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ from continuing operations was $4.3 million up from $3.9 million in 2022.
• Adjusted EPS¹ from continuing operations was $0.16 in 2023 compared to $0.23 in 2022, primarily due to increased debt, associated with the Horn Solutions acquisition, and higher interest rates.

Beth A. Garvey, Chair, President and CEO, said, “First quarter results were within our expectations for both Professional and Real Estate. Our Professional segment benefited from incremental revenues from our Horn Solutions acquisition, and we are encouraged by expanded cross-selling opportunities. Our recent strategic acquisition of Arroyo Consulting will strengthen our go-to-market cross-selling efforts providing our clients a cost effective alternative offering nearshore and offshore IT resources.

“We remain cautiously optimistic and feel our specialized offerings in both segments will put us in a position to manage the current uncertain economic times, and allow us better resiliency. Our rebranding efforts support the strength of our brand and allow us to approach the market as one voice with a stronger and broader BGSF platform."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The financial results of BGSF, Inc. are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. To help the readers understand the Company's financial performance, the Company supplements its GAAP financial results with Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS.

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of a company. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net income per diluted share, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities or measures of our liquidity. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are useful performance measures and are used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone. In addition, the financial covenants in our credit agreement are based on EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement.

We define “Adjusted EBITDA" as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, transaction fees and certain non-cash expenses such as contingent consideration gains and share-based compensation expense, as well as certain specific events that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance.

We define “Adjusted EPS” as diluted earnings per share eliminating amortization expense of intangible assets from acquisitions, transaction fees, and certain non-cash expenses such as contingent consideration gains, as well as certain specific events that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance, net of the respective income tax effect.
