BGSF, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Announces 36th Consecutive Quarterly Dividend

Quarterly Revenues Up 6%

Generated $15 Million of Operating Cash Flow Year-to-Date

BGSF, Inc. (NYSE: BGSF), a growing provider of consulting, managed services, and professional workforce solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended October 1, 2023.

Q3 2023 Highlights from Continuing Operations:

  • Revenues were $83.5 million, up 6.3% from 2022. Property Management sales grew organically by 8.2% versus the prior year quarter. Professional revenues grew by 5.0%, including acquired revenues, partially offset by an organic contraction of 20.6%, compared to the prior year.
  • Gross profit was $30.0 million, up 7.1% from 2022. Gross profit margins increased to 35.9% in 2023, from 35.7% in 2022.
  • Net income from continuing operations was $2.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $4.7 million in 2022, primarily due to increased acquisition amortization and interest expense.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 from continuing operations was $7.9 million (9.4% of revenues), vs. $8.0 million in 2022.
  • Adjusted EPS1 from continuing operations was $0.36 per diluted share, vs. $0.48 per diluted share in 2022.

Nine Month 2023 Highlights from Continuing Operations2:

  • Revenues were $239.6 million, up 8.3% from 2022.
  • Gross profit was $86.3 million, up 12.9% from 2022. Gross profit margins increased to 36.0% in 2023, from 34.6% in 2022.
  • Operating income (loss) in 2023 includes a non-cash impairment of $22.5 million related to trade name intangible assets from the rebranding to BGSF for all entities. The after-tax impact was $17.1 million or $1.59 per diluted share, using the year-to-date effective tax rate.
  • Net loss from continuing operations was $11.2 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.8 million in 2022, primarily due to trade name impairment and increased acquisition amortization and interest expense.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 from continuing operations was $19.6 million (8.2% of revenues), vs. $17.4 million in 2022.
  • Adjusted EPS1 from continuing operations was $0.93 per diluted share in 2023, vs. $1.05 per diluted share in 2022.

Beth A. Garvey, Chair, President, and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our performance for the third quarter reflects the continued progression of our long-term strategic plans to grow through a combination of organic and inorganic revenues, and by diversifying into higher value, specialized property management and professional consulting that drive improving gross margins. Total third quarter revenues grew by 6.3% to $83.5 million through a combination of acquired revenues and organic growth in property management, partially offset by sales softness on the professional side. For the first nine months of the year, we generated net cash from operations of $15 million.

“Despite a challenging and uncertain macro environment, we continue to focus on our controllable initiatives to drive long-term shareholder value and cash flow to fund additional growth and generate sustainable returns to shareholders through our quarterly cash dividends,” concluded Garvey.

22023 operation results includes twenty-three weeks of Arroyo Consulting and thirty-nine weeks of Horn Solutions.

Q3 2023 Cash Dividend Declared:

The Company further announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on November 28, 2023 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 20, 2023. This marks the 36th consecutive quarterly dividend.

BGSF, Inc.

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.
