BGSF, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results Generated $7.4 Million of Operating Cash Flow
BGSF, Inc. ((BGSF), a growing provider of consulting, managed services, and professional workforce solutions, today reported financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Q1 2024 Highlights from Operations:
- Revenues were $68.8 million for 2024, compared to $75.3 million for 2023.
- Gross profit was $23.4 million, from $26.8 million in 2023.
- Operating income was $0.4 million in 2024, up from an operating loss of $20.7 million, which included a one-time non-cash impairment of $22.5 million related to trade name intangible assets from the branding to BGSF for all entities. The after-tax impact was $16.9 million or $1.58 per diluted share, using the effective tax rate.
- Net loss was $0.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, versus net loss of $16.5 million, or $1.54 per diluted share in 2023, primarily due to the trade name impairment.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 was $2.7 million (3.9% of revenues) in 2024 from $4.3 million (5.6% of revenues) in 2023.
- Adjusted EPS1 was $0.07 for 2024 compared with $0.16 for 2023.
Beth A. Garvey, Chair, President, and CEO, said, "Our first quarter results aligned with expectations, and we are encouraged by recent activity in higher-end consulting. The Professional division has experienced meaningful progress each month this year with IT consulting and other IT-related tool deployments, and we are benefiting from BGSF's enhanced Workday strategic partnership. In addition, the Professional segment landed senior-level projects, managed solutions, and permanent placements as we continue to leverage important Horn Solutions relationships. We are utilizing technology in the Property Management division to penetrate existing markets. Although Property Management is facing industry competition for the first time, we believe that our strategic transition of the sales organization using stronger results-oriented compensation plans, will drive meaningfully improved sales performance starting in 2024.
"The current macro environment and economic cycle are different than prior cycles, and we believe that our planned business transformation positions us to begin to significantly grow our business in high-value ERP selection, implementation, and project consulting, as well as managed solutions, nearshore and offshore accounting and software engineering, and project management of data security and mobile. We are very excited to provide recognized and highly differentiated offerings, expertise, and next-gen solutions and services, and we are confident that our business is well positioned to generate cash flow and create long-term value for shareholders," concluded Garvey.
1 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures as defined and reconciled below. |

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 impairment losses 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 impairment losses, 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. |
