Re-baselined Costs to Align with Revenues, Generated Record Operating Cash Flow of $24 million

PLANO, Texas, March 12, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BGSF, Inc. (NYSE: BGSF), a leading provider of consulting, managed services, and professional workforce solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.

  • Revenues were $64.4 million for Q4, compared to $71.2 million for Q3.

    • Property Management segment revenues decreased 18.5% from Q3, primarily driven by seasonal demand.

    • Professional segment revenues declined 3.0% from Q3, primarily due to a decline in billing days of approximately 5%.

  • Gross profit was $21.5 million, down from $24.3 million in Q3, primarily due to lower sales in Property Management.

  • Adjusted EBITDA1 was $1.4 million (2.2% of revenues) in Q4 compared to $3.4 million (4.8% of revenues) in Q3.

Beth A. Garvey, Chair, President, and CEO, said, "Late in 2024, we implemented a significant cost restructuring plan to streamline operations and lower overhead with expense savings estimated to be between $7 to $9 million on an annual basis. We saw revenues stabilize as the year progressed and have seen similar trends in early 2025."

"While we have progressed with the Company’s strategic review process, uncertainties in the demand environment persist, and we continue to expect this to be a 12- to 18-month process from our original May 2024 announcement."

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, costs associated with the evaluation of potential strategic alternatives ("Strategic alternatives review"), transaction fees, software as a service costs, restructuring plan costs, 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, the Strategic Alternatives Review, transaction fees, software as a service costs, restructuring plan costs, 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.
