TrueBlue Reports Second Quarter 2022 Results

Revenue growth and segment profit margin expansion across all segments drive strong results

TrueBlue (NYSE:TBI) today announced its second quarter results for 2022.

Second quarter revenue was $569 million, an increase of 10 percent compared to revenue of $516 million in the second quarter of 2021. Net income per diluted share was $0.72 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.45 in the second quarter of 2021. Second quarter adjusted net income1 per diluted share was $0.82 compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.47 in the second quarter of 2021.

“We have a talented management team and the right strategies to position us for long-term growth,” said Steve Cooper, President and CEO of TrueBlue. “I’m impressed with the exceptional level of execution and engagement I see across our teams in providing quality workforce solutions to meet the needs of our clients.”

“We experienced another quarter of favorable demand as businesses continue to struggle with a record number of job openings,” said Mr. Cooper. “Positive spreads between bill and pay rate inflation and a higher mix of recruitment process outsourcing business contributed to meaningful operating margin expansion.

“Demand patterns were somewhat mixed during the quarter.” Mr. Cooper continued. “PeopleScout demand was exceptionally strong throughout the quarter as clients sought more help in addressing high employee turnover associated with tight labor pools. At PeopleReady, demand tapered during the quarter as customers reassessed their labor needs on new projects given the current economic climate, and PeopleManagement demand held steady.”

Mr. Cooper concluded, “Our differentiated service offerings combined with our digital and operating strategies have us well-positioned to gain market share and generate long-term value for our shareholders.”
