Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

Revenue was $139.3 million compared to $148.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue was down 11.4% reflecting a persistently challenging demand environment due to the ongoing uncertainty in the broader environment, resulting in lengthened client decision-making and sales cycles. To a lesser extent, in connection with recent actions we have taken to execute on our diversified services strategy for long term growth and stability, we experienced both voluntary and involuntary attrition in the third quarter, including within our sales team, which also affected our revenue performance in Q4. Compared to the prior year quarter, billable hours decreased 10.5% while the average bill rate improved by 4.2% (also 4.2% on a constant currency basis). The year-over-year improvement in average bill rate is attributable to an ongoing focus on value-based pricing and a shift in revenue mix towards higher value consulting projects. While average bill rates improved across almost all of our geographic regions compared to the prior year, the enterprise average bill rate continues to reflect the global revenue mix, which currently includes a higher proportion of revenue generated in Asia Pacific, where bill rates are significantly lower than in the United States ("U.S.") and Europe.

Gross margin remained strong at 40.2%, consistent with the prior year quarter, reflecting an improvement in pay/bill ratio, offset by less favorable leverage of indirect benefit costs on lower revenue.

SG&A for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $50.6 million, or 36.3% of revenue, compared to $46.4 million, or 31.3% of revenue in the prior year quarter. The $4.3 million increase in SG&A year-over-year was primarily attributed to a $4.4 million favorable non-cash adjustment on contingent consideration related to the acquisition of CloudGo Pte Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "CloudGo") recognized in the prior year quarter, an increase of $1.7 million in restructuring expenses and ongoing alignment of resource capacity and an increase of $1.4 million in other general and administrative expenses including amortization related to an ongoing enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system implementation. These increases were partially offset by reductions of $1.9 million in technology transformation costs and a net $1.4 million in employee compensation and benefits partially as a result of the reduction in force.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company conducted a goodwill impairment analysis and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $69.0 million in the Consulting segment.

The fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 had an income tax expense of $8.0 million, or a negative effective tax rate of (12.2)%, compared to an income tax expense of $1.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 9.0% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was impacted by the non-deductible portion of the goodwill impairment, coupled with an establishment of a valuation allowance on the Company's domestic net deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was impacted by a number of tax benefits, chiefly the nontaxable income related to the favorable contingent consideration adjustment in connection with the CloudGo acquisition.

Net loss was $73.3 million (net loss margin of 52.6%), compared to net income of $10.5 million (net income margin of 7.1%) in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the non-cash goodwill impairment charge. The Company delivered an Adjusted EBITDA of $9.8 million, a margin of 7.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $13.1 million, a margin of 8.8% in the prior year quarter.

Full Fiscal Year 2025 Results

Annual revenue of $551.3 million compared to $632.8 million a year ago, or a decrease of 12.9% (or a decrease of 13.9% on a same-day constant currency basis). Billable hours were down 13.5% while the average bill rate remained flat (or increased 0.8% on a constant currency basis) during fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024.

Gross margin was 37.6% compared to 38.9% in the prior year primarily due to lower utilization of salaried consultants and a decrease in leverage on cost of service as a result of lower revenue. Pay/bill ratio remained consistent year over year.

The Company's continued focus on cost discipline supported SG&A of $202.0 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $208.9 million in fiscal 2024, a 3.3% improvement. The $6.8 million improvement in SG&A year-over-year was primarily attributed to a lower net employee compensation expense of $9.2 million largely resulting from the restructuring plans and ongoing alignment of resource capacity to demand, a $3.4 million gain on the sale of the Irvine office building and a $1.4 million decrease in technology transformation costs. These reductions were partially offset by a $4.4 million favorable non-cash adjustment on contingent consideration related to the CloudGo acquisition recognized in fiscal 2024, a $1.0 million increase in restructuring costs, $1.0 million increase in stock compensation costs and $1.3 million of amortization related to the newly launched ERP system in the third fiscal quarter.

During fiscal 2025, in light of the decline in the Company's market capitalization, along with the slow recovery in the On-Demand, Consulting, and Europe and Asia business segments, the Company conducted a goodwill impairment analysis during the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2025 and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $194.4 million ($70.2 million was recorded in the On-Demand Talent segment, $98.6 million was recorded in the Consulting segment, and $25.6 million in the Europe and Asia segment).

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $4.3 million (effective tax rate of 2.2%) for the year ended May 31, 2025 compared to income tax expense of $8.8 million (effective tax rate of 29.5%) for the year ended May 25, 2024. The income tax benefit in fiscal 2025 was primarily attributed to the Company's pretax loss. The lower effective tax rate in fiscal 2025 was primarily the result of non-deductible portion of the goodwill impairment charge, coupled with the establishment of valuation allowances on the Company's domestic and United Kingdom net deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate during fiscal 2024 was attributed primarily to a non-recurring increase in forfeiture of stock options in connection with an employee termination during the fiscal year, partially offset by a number of rate benefits, chiefly the nontaxable income on the reversal of CloudGo's contingent liability.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess our financial and operating performance that are not defined by or calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") to assess our financial and operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that (i) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Consolidated Statements of Operations; or (ii) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the comparable GAAP measure so calculated and presented. The following non-GAAP measures are presented in this press release:

Same-day constant currency revenue is adjusted for the following items:
- Currency impact. In order to remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company calculates same-day constant currency revenue, which represents the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the current period been the same as those in effect in the comparable prior period.
- Business days impact. In order to remove the fluctuations caused by comparable periods having a different number of business days, the Company calculates same-day revenue as current period revenue (adjusted for currency impact) divided by the number of business days in the current period, multiplied by the number of business days in the comparable prior period. The number of business days in each respective period is provided in the "Number of Business Days" section of the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table below.
EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before amortization expense, depreciation expense, interest and income taxes.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortized Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system costs, technology transformation costs, goodwill impairment, acquisition costs, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, and contingent consideration adjustments. We also present herein Adjusted EBITDA at the segment level as a measure used to assess the performance of our segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain shared corporate administrative costs that are not practical to allocate.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue.
Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated as diluted earnings (loss) per common share, excluding the per share impact of stock-based compensation expense, amortized ERP system costs, technology transformation costs, goodwill impairment, acquisition costs, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, contingent consideration adjustments, and adjusted for the related tax effects of these adjustments.

We believe the above-mentioned non-GAAP financial measures, which are used by management to assess the core performance of our Company, provide useful information and additional clarity of our operating results to our investors in their own evaluation of the core performance of our Company and facilitate a comparison of such performance from period to period. These are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as substitutes for revenue, net income or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP for purposes of analyzing our revenue, profitability or liquidity. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, revenue, net income, earnings per share, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently.
