Pandemic-Impacted Revenue Slowly Improving

NEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. ((STAF), a company executing an international buy-integrate-build strategy through the acquisition of staffing organizations in the United States and the United Kingdom, today announced Fiscal 2020 second quarter and six-month results, which were impacted by the economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brendan Flood, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, "Our Q2 results are in line with expectations provided on our previous call as the COVID-19 pandemic surged for the first two-thirds of the quarter. While revenue, gross profit, EBITDA and Adj. EBITDA declined when compared with both Q1 2020 and Q2 2019 -- adjusted EBITDA remained positive and gross margin increased modestly. The sequential comparisons of Q2 with Q1 2020 reflect a COVID-19 impact in the first three weeks in Q1 2020.

"We experienced modest weekly improvements in business over the past six weeks and look forward to that improvement continuing. I remain confident that we will be a stronger company when we come out of this than when we went into it."

Q2 2020 Overview

  • Revenue declined by 41% to $43.4 million from $73.5 million in Q2 '19
  • Gross profit declined by 37.5% to $7.6 million from $12.1 million in Q2 '19
  • Gross margin increased to 17.4% compared with 16.5% in Q2 '19
  • Loss from operations of ($1.5 million) compared with income from operations of $0.5 million in Q2 '19
  • Net loss of ($3.8 million) compared with net loss of ($1.5 million) in Q2 '19
  • EBITDA declined to negative $0.8 million from $1 million in Q2 '19
  • Adjusted EBITDA remained positive at $0.5 million down from $2.4 million in Q2 '19

Year to Date Q2 2020 Overview

  • Revenue declined by 30.7% to $102.1 million from $147.3 million YTD '19
  • Gross profit declined by 24.8% to $18.2 million from $24.2 million YTD '19
  • Gross margin increased to 17.8% compared with 16.4% YTD '19
  • Loss from operations of ($5.5 million) compared with income of $1.3 million YTD '19 was primarily driven by a goodwill impairment charge of $3 million taken in Q1
  • Net loss of ($10.8 million) compared with net loss of ($1.2 million) YTD '19
  • EBITDA declined to negative $4.8 million from $4.1 million YTD '19
  • Adjusted EBITDA remained positive at $1.7 million down from $4.4 million YTD '19

Flood continued, "As anticipated, our Q1 move to cash flow breakeven (driven by aggressive overall cost controls) flowed through into the second quarter. We took the opportunity to clean up certain parts of the balance sheet and bring payments current. I'm proud of our entire team who has successfully mastered working in a hybrid style, continuing to effectively meet our clients' needs by providing our traditional best-in-class service. We remain cautiously optimistic looking ahead into the end of year.

"Government stimulus programs in both the US and UK have allowed us to strengthen our balance sheet and we are currently reviewing the role that the new US Main Street Lending Program can provide as an additional financial boost. Simultaneously, we continue to seek to refinance debt by the end of this quarter," concluded Flood.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Other companies may have different definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures, and as a result they may not be comparable with non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated in a manner consistent with that shown in the table at the end of this press release and should not be considered alternatives to measurements required by U.S. GAAP, such as net revenue, operating profit or net income, and should not be considered a measure of the Company's liquidity.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures, among several other metrics, to assess and analyze its operational results and trends. The Company also believes these measures are useful to investors because they are common operating performance metrics as well as metrics routinely used to assess potential enterprise value.
